For the three months ended December 31, 2018, the company reported income from continuing operations attributable to common shareholders of $97.8 million, or $1.15 per share, compared to $330 million, or $3.85 per share in the prior year. As shown in the non-GAAP reconciliation table, adjusted income from continuing operations increased 10% to $94.9 million and related earnings per share increased 10% to $1.11 per share. Fourth quarter 2018 results include a net benefit totaling $2.9 million after tax, or $0.04 per share, consisting of an $8.2 million net gain related to dealership sales, partially offset by valuation adjustments on certain dealerships totaling $5.3 million. Fourth quarter 2017 results included a $243 million benefit related to the enactment of the 2017 U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. Total revenue increased 0.8% to $5.4 billion, while same-store retail automotive revenue decreased 1.1%. Product availability shortages and Worldwide Harmonized Light Vehicle Testing ("WLTP") certification delays in our Western European businesses are estimated to have impacted our operations by approximately $5 million, or $0.06 per share. Excluding foreign exchange, total revenue increased 2.2%, while same-store retail revenue increased 0.2%. Foreign exchange rates had no impact on earnings per share for the three months ended December 31, 2018.

"2018 was the best year in the history of Penske Automotive Group, including record results for units retailed, revenue and earnings before taxes," said Chairman Roger S. Penske. "I am particularly pleased with the 10.2% growth in earnings before taxes and the $190.1 million our company returned to shareholders in dividends and share repurchases representing over 40% of our net income." Penske continued, "For the fourth quarter, our business was driven by continued growth in used vehicles, service and parts, the commercial truck operation and our equity investment in Penske Truck Leasing. However, product availability in Western Europe of certain brands, WLTP and the ongoing diesel challenges impacted our performance during the quarter."
