Business and Nature of Operations
As of March 31, 2019, we have a North American network of 75 ADESA whole car auction sites and 179 IAA salvage vehicle auction sites; in addition, we offer online auctions for both whole car and salvage vehicles. ADESA also includes TradeRev, an online automotive remarketing system where dealers can launch and participate in real-time vehicle auctions at any time, ADESA Remarketing Limited, an online whole car vehicle remarketing business in the United Kingdom and CarsOnTheWeb, an online wholesale vehicle auction marketplace in Continental Europe. IAA also includes HBC Vehicle Services Limited, which operates from 14 locations in the United Kingdom. Our auctions facilitate the sale of used and salvage vehicles through physical, online or hybrid auctions, which permit Internet buyers to participate in physical auctions. ADESA and IAA are leading, national providers of wholesale and salvage vehicle auctions and related vehicle remarketing services for the automotive industry in North America. ADESA's online service offerings include customized private label solutions powered with software developed by its wholly-owned subsidiary, Openlane, that allow our institutional consignors (automobile manufacturers, captive finance companies and other institutions) to offer vehicles via the Internet prior to arrival at the physical auction. Remarketing services include a variety of activities designed to transfer used and salvage vehicles between sellers and buyers throughout the vehicle life cycle. ADESA and IAA facilitate the exchange of these vehicles through an auction marketplace, which aligns sellers and buyers. As an agent for customers, the Company generally does not take title to or ownership of vehicles sold at the auctions. Generally, fees are earned from the seller and buyer on each successful auction transaction in addition to fees earned for ancillary services.

Condensed Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)
March 31, 2019 (Unaudited)

ADESA has the second largest used vehicle auction network in North America, based upon the number of used vehicles sold through auctions annually, and also provides services such as inbound and outbound transportation logistics, reconditioning, vehicle inspection and certification, titling, administrative and collateral recovery services. ADESA is able to serve the diverse and multi-faceted needs of its customers through the wide range of services offered.
IAA is one of the leading providers of salvage vehicle auctions and related services. The salvage auctions facilitate the remarketing of damaged vehicles that are designated as total losses by insurance companies, recovered stolen vehicles for which an insurance settlement with the vehicle owner has already been made, purchased vehicles and older model vehicles donated to charity or sold by dealers in salvage auctions. The salvage auction business specializes in providing services such as inbound transportation logistics, inspections, evaluations, salvage recovery services, titling and settlement administrative services.
AFC is a leading provider of floorplan financing to independent used vehicle dealers and this financing is provided through 127 locations throughout the United States and Canada as of March 31, 2019. Floorplan financing supports independent used vehicle dealers in North America who purchase vehicles at ADESA, IAA, TradeRev, other used vehicle and salvage auctions and non-auction purchases. In addition to floorplan financing, AFC also provides independent used vehicle dealers with other related services and products, such as vehicle service contracts.
Potential Spin-off of IAA
In February 2018, the Company announced that its board of directors had approved a plan to pursue the separation of its salvage auction business, currently operated by IAA, through a spin-off. The Company also announced that the separation was subject to customary regulatory approvals, the execution of intercompany agreements between the Company and the new salvage auction company ("IAA Spinco"), final approval of the board of directors and other customary matters.
The Company expects to complete the spin-off in June 2019. The Company may, at any time and for any reason until the proposed transaction is complete, abandon, modify or change the terms of the spin-off. There can be no assurance as to whether or when the spin-off will occur. IAA Spinco filed its initial Registration Statement on Form 10 on June 28, 2018, Amendment No. 1 to its Registration Statement on Form 10 on August 30, 2018, Amendment No. 2 to its Registration Statement on Form 10 on November 20, 2018 and Amendment No. 3 to its Registration Statement on Form 10 on March 5, 2019.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP") for interim financial information and
with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information
and notes required by U.S. GAAP for annual financial statements. Operating results for interim periods are not necessarily
indicative of results that may be expected for the year as a whole. In the opinion of management, the consolidated financial
statements reflect all adjustments, generally consisting of normal recurring accruals, necessary for a fair statement of our results
of operations, cash flows and financial position for the periods presented. These consolidated financial statements and
condensed notes to consolidated financial statements are unaudited and should be read in conjunction with the audited
consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2018, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 21, 2019. The 2018 year-end
consolidated balance sheet data included in this Form 10-Q was derived from the audited financial statements referenced above
and does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP for annual financial statements.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make
estimates based in part on assumptions about current, and for some estimates, future economic and market conditions that affect
the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period. Although the current estimates contemplate
current conditions and expected future changes, as appropriate, it is reasonably possible that future conditions could differ from
these estimates, which could materially affect our results of operations and financial position. Among other effects, such
changes could result in future impairments of goodwill, intangible assets and long-lived assets, incremental losses on finance
receivables, additional allowances on accounts receivable and deferred tax assets and changes in litigation and other loss
contingencies.

Condensed Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)
March 31, 2019 (Unaudited)

Leases
In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which replaces the existing lease guidance in Topic 840. The ASU is intended to provide enhanced transparency and comparability by requiring lessees to record right-of-use ("ROU") assets and corresponding lease liabilities on the balance sheet, with an exception for leases that meet the definition of a short-term lease. The new guidance continues to classify leases as either finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the statement of income.
We adopted Topic 842 in the first quarter of 2019 and as permitted by ASU 2018-11, Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements, we applied the new standard at the adoption date and recognized the cumulative-effect of initially applying the new standard as an increase of $1.1 million to the opening balance of retained earnings. The cumulative-effect adjustment related to the derecognition of existing fixed assets for which we were determined to be the accounting owner under Topic 840 and related liabilities associated with certain sale leaseback transactions in build-to-suit arrangements that did not qualify for sale accounting under Topic 840. Depreciation related to these fixed assets was recorded consistently with owned property and equipment in depreciation expense. In accordance with Topic 842, the lease agreements associated with the derecognized fixed assets and related liabilities generated ROU assets and lease liabilities that will be amortized to lease expense over the lease term. In addition, we recognized additional operating liabilities of approximately $1,026 million with related ROU assets of approximately $956 million based on the present value of the remaining minimum rental payments for existing operating leases.
Our Credit Agreement specifies that the net debt covenant shall continue to be calculated as if the accounting standard had not been adopted and that we could enter into negotiations to amend such provisions in the Credit Agreement so as to equitably reflect such changes with the desired result that the criteria for evaluating our financial condition would be the same after the change as if such change had not been made.
We determine if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating leases are included in “Operating lease right-of-use assets,” “Other accrued expenses” and “Operating lease liabilities” in our consolidated balance sheets. Finance leases are included in “Property and equipment, net,” “Other accrued expenses” and “Other liabilities” in our consolidated balance sheets.

ROU assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and operating lease liabilities are recognized at the commencement date based on the present value of the lease payments over the lease term. As most of our leases do not provide an implicit interest rate, we use our incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. We use the implicit rate when readily determinable. The operating lease ROU assets also include any lease payments made and exclude lease incentives and initial direct costs incurred. Our lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option. Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

We have lease agreements with lease and non-lease components, which are generally accounted for separately. For certain equipment leases, we account for the lease and non-lease components as a single lease component.
New Accounting Standards
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer's Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That is a Service Contract, which aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a cloud computing arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software. The new guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of ASU 2018-15 will have on the consolidated financial statements.

March 31, 2019 (Unaudited)

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment, which simplifies the test for goodwill impairment by eliminating Step 2 (implied fair value measurement). Instead goodwill impairment would be measured as the amount by which a reporting unit's carrying amount exceeds its fair value, not to exceed the carrying amount of goodwill. The new guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. We do not expect the adoption of ASU 2017-04 will have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. The update changes the methodology for measuring credit losses on financial instruments and the timing of when such losses are recorded. The new guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted beginning in annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of ASU 2016-13 will have on the consolidated financial statements, however we do not expect that it will have a material impact based on the short-term nature of AFC's loans.
Note 2—Acquisitions
In January 2019, the Company completed the acquisition of Dent-ology. Dent-ology enhances our mobile reconditioning capabilities and bolsters our offerings to include wheel repair and expanded hail catastrophe response services.
In January 2019, the Company also completed the acquisition of CarsOnTheWeb. COTW is an online auction company serving the wholesale vehicle sector in Continental Europe that seamlessly connects OEMs, fleet owners, wholesalers and dealers. The acquisition advances KAR’s international strategy and extends its strong North American and U.K.-based portfolio of physical, online and digital auction marketplaces.
Certain of the purchase agreements included additional payments over a specified period contingent on certain terms, conditions and performance. The purchased assets included accounts receivable, inventory, property and equipment, customer relationships, tradenames and software. Financial results for each acquisition have been included in our consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition.
 
The aggregate purchase price for the businesses acquired in the first quarter of 2019, net of cash acquired, was approximately $193.5 million, which included net cash payments of $120.7 million, deferred payments with a fair value of $19.7 million and estimated contingent payments with a fair value of $53.1 million. The maximum amount of undiscounted deferred payments and undiscounted contingent payments related to these acquisitions could approximate $77.0 million. The purchase price for the acquired businesses was allocated to acquired assets and liabilities based upon fair values, including $33.4 million to intangible assets, representing the fair value of acquired customer relationships of $27.0 million, software of $4.3 million and tradenames of $2.1 million, which are being amortized over their expected useful lives. The purchase accounting associated with these acquisitions is preliminary, subject to final valuation results. The acquisitions resulted in aggregate goodwill of $160.5 million. The goodwill is recorded in the ADESA Auctions reportable segment. The financial impact of these acquisitions, including pro forma financial results, was immaterial to the Company’s consolidated results for the three months ended March 31, 2019.

Note 3—Stock and Stock-Based Compensation Plans
The KAR Auction Services, Inc. 2009 Omnibus Stock and Incentive Plan ("Omnibus Plan") is intended to provide equity and/or cash-based awards to our executive officers and key employees. Our stock-based compensation expense includes expense associated with KAR Auction Services, Inc. performance-based restricted stock units ("PRSUs"), service-based restricted stock units ("RSUs") and service options. We have determined that the KAR Auction Services, Inc. PRSUs, RSUs and service options should be classified as equity awards.

PRSUs and RSUs
In the three months ended March 31, 2019, we granted a target amount of approximately 0.3 million PRSUs to certain executive officers and management of the Company. The PRSUs vest if and to the extent that the Company's three-year cumulative operating adjusted net income per share attains certain specified goals. In addition, approximately 0.3 million RSUs were granted to certain executive officers and management of the Company. The RSUs are contingent upon continued employment and generally vest in three equal annual installments. The weighted average grant date fair value of the PRSUs and the RSUs was $47.06 per share, which was determined using the closing price of the Company's common stock on the dates of grant.
Share Repurchase Program
In October 2016, the board of directors authorized a repurchase of up to $500 million of the Company’s outstanding common stock, par value $0.01 per share, through October 26, 2019. Repurchases may be made in the open market or through privately negotiated transactions, in accordance with applicable securities laws and regulations, including pursuant to repurchase plans designed to comply with Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The timing and amount of any repurchases is subject to market and other conditions. No shares of common stock were repurchased during the three months ended March 31, 2019. In 2018, we repurchased and retired 2,695,978 shares of common stock in the open market at a weighted average price of $55.64 per share under the October 2016 authorization.

Basic net income per share was calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of outstanding common shares for the period. Diluted net income per share was calculated consistent with basic net income per share including the effect of dilutive unissued common shares related to our stock-based employee compensation program. The effect of stock options and restricted stock on net income per share-diluted is determined through the application of the treasury stock method, whereby net proceeds received by the Company based on assumed exercises are hypothetically used to repurchase our common stock at the average market price during the period. Stock options that would have an anti-dilutive effect on net income per diluted share and PRSUs subject to performance conditions which have not yet been satisfied are excluded from the calculations. No options were excluded from the calculation of diluted net income per share for each of the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018. In addition, approximately 0.8 million and 0.7 million PRSUs were excluded from the calculation of diluted net income per share for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Total options outstanding at March 31, 2019 and 2018 were 1.0 million and 1.6 million, respectively.
Note 5—Finance Receivables and Obligations Collateralized by Finance Receivables
AFC sells the majority of its U.S. dollar denominated finance receivables on a revolving basis and without recourse to a wholly-owned, bankruptcy remote, consolidated, special purpose subsidiary ("AFC Funding Corporation"), established for the purpose of purchasing AFC's finance receivables. A securitization agreement allows for the revolving sale by AFC Funding Corporation to a group of bank purchasers of undivided interests in certain finance receivables subject to committed liquidity. The agreement expires on January 28, 2022. AFC Funding Corporation had committed liquidity of $1.70 billion for U.S. finance receivables at March 31, 2019.
We also have an agreement for the securitization of Automotive Finance Canada Inc.'s ("AFCI") receivables which expires on January 28, 2022. AFCI's committed facility is provided through a third-party conduit (separate from the U.S. facility) and was C$175 million at March 31, 2019. The receivables sold pursuant to both the U.S. and Canadian securitization agreements are accounted for as secured borrowings.

Proceeds from the revolving sale of receivables to the bank facilities are used to fund new loans to customers. AFC, AFC Funding Corporation and AFCI must maintain certain financial covenants including, among others, limits on the amount of debt AFC and AFCI can incur, minimum levels of tangible net worth, and other covenants tied to the performance of the finance receivables portfolio. The securitization agreements also incorporate the financial covenants of our Credit Facility. At March 31, 2019, we were in compliance with the covenants in the securitization agreements.

Credit Facility
On May 31, 2017, we entered into an Incremental Commitment Agreement and Second Amendment (the "Second Amendment") to the Credit Agreement. The Second Amendment provided for, among other things, (i) the refinancing and repricing of the existing tranche B-2 term loans ("Term Loan B-2") remaining after the repayment with new tranche B-4 term loans in an aggregate principal amount of $717 million ("Term Loan B-4"), (ii) the refinancing and repricing of existing tranche B-3 term loans ("Term Loan B-3") remaining after the repayment with new tranche B-5 term loans in an aggregate principal amount of $1.05 billion ("Term Loan B-5") and (iii) a $350 million senior secured revolving credit facility (the "revolving credit facility").
The Credit Facility is available for letters of credit, working capital, permitted acquisitions and general corporate purposes. The Company also pays a commitment fee of 30 to 35 basis points, payable quarterly, on the average daily unused amount of the revolving credit facility. The rates on Term Loan B-4 and Term Loan B-5 were 4.88% and 5.13% at March 31, 2019, respectively.
The obligations of the Company under the Credit Facility are guaranteed by certain of our domestic subsidiaries (the "Subsidiary Guarantors") and are secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors, including but not limited to: (a) pledges of and first priority perfected security interests in 100% of the equity interests of certain of the Company's and the Subsidiary Guarantors' domestic subsidiaries and 65% of the equity interests of certain of the Company's and the Subsidiary Guarantors' first tier foreign subsidiaries and (b) perfected first priority security interests in substantially all other tangible and intangible assets of the Company and each Subsidiary Guarantor, subject to certain exceptions. The Credit Agreement contains affirmative and negative covenants that we believe are usual and customary for a senior secured credit agreement. The negative covenants include, among other things, limitations on asset sales, mergers and acquisitions, indebtedness, liens, dividends, investments and transactions with our affiliates. The Credit Agreement also requires us to maintain a maximum leverage ratio, provided there are revolving loans outstanding. We were in compliance with the covenants in the Credit Agreement at March 31, 2019.
On March 31, 2019, $93.5 million was drawn on the revolving credit facility and there were no borrowings on the revolving credit facility at December 31, 2018. In addition, we had related outstanding letters of credit in the aggregate amount of $32.9 million at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, which reduce the amount available for borrowings under the revolving credit facility. The $93.5 million of outstanding borrowings under the revolving credit facility have been classified as current debt as the Company intends to repay the outstanding borrowings within the next twelve months.

European Lines of Credit

COTW has lines of credit aggregating €30 million. The lines of credit have an interest rate of Euribor plus 1.25% and had an aggregate $15.3 million of borrowings outstanding at March 31, 2019. The lines of credit are guaranteed by certain COTW subsidiaries. In addition, as part of the acquisition of COTW, we assumed debt of approximately $10.7 million which was paid off in the first quarter of 2019.

Fair Value of Debt
As of March 31, 2019, the estimated fair value of our long-term debt amounted to $2,785.3 million. The estimates of fair value were based on broker-dealer quotes for our debt as of March 31, 2019. The estimates presented on long-term financial instruments are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that would be realized in a current market exchange.
Note 7—Derivatives
We are exposed to interest rate risk on our variable rate borrowings. Accordingly, interest rate fluctuations affect the amount of interest expense we are obligated to pay. We use interest rate derivatives with the objective of managing exposure to interest rate movements, thereby reducing the effect of interest rate changes and the effect they could have on future cash flows. Currently, interest rate cap agreements are used to accomplish this objective.
•
In August 2017, we entered into two interest rate caps with an aggregate notional amount of $800 million to manage our exposure to interest rate movements on our variable rate Credit Facility when three-month LIBOR exceeds 2.0%. The interest rate cap agreements each had an effective date of September 30, 2017 and each mature on September 30, 2019. We paid an aggregate amount of approximately $1.0 million for the caps in August 2017.
•
In March 2017, we entered into two interest rate caps with an aggregate notional amount of $400 million to manage our exposure to interest rate movements on our variable rate Credit Facility when three-month LIBOR exceeded 2.0%. The interest rate cap agreements each had an effective date of March 31, 2017 and each matured on March 31, 2019. We paid an aggregate amount of approximately $0.7 million for the caps in April 2017.
We are exposed to credit loss in the event of non-performance by the counterparties; however, non-performance is not anticipated. ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging, requires companies to recognize all derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities at fair value in the balance sheet. The fair values of the interest rate derivatives are based on quoted market prices for similar instruments from commercial banks. The following table presents the fair value of our interest rate derivatives included in the consolidated balance sheets for the periods presented (in millions):

Note 9—Commitments and Contingencies
We are involved in litigation and disputes arising in the ordinary course of business, such as actions related to injuries; property damage; handling, storage or disposal of vehicles; environmental laws and regulations; and other litigation incidental to the business such as employment matters and dealer disputes. Management considers the likelihood of loss or the incurrence of a liability, as well as the ability to reasonably estimate the amount of loss, in determining loss contingencies. We accrue an estimated loss contingency when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of loss (or range of possible losses) can be reasonably estimated. Management regularly evaluates current information available to determine whether accrual amounts should be adjusted. Accruals for contingencies including litigation and environmental matters are included in "Other accrued expenses" at undiscounted amounts and exclude claims for recoveries from insurance or other third parties. These accruals are adjusted periodically as assessment and remediation efforts progress, or as additional technical or legal information becomes available. If the amount of an actual loss is greater than the amount accrued, this could have an adverse impact on our operating results in that period. Such matters are generally not, in the opinion of management, likely to have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. Legal fees are expensed as incurred. There has been no significant change in the legal and regulatory proceedings which were disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.

Note 11—Segment Information
ASC 280, Segment Reporting, requires reporting of segment information that is consistent with the manner in which the chief operating decision maker operates and views the Company. Our operations are grouped into three operating segments: ADESA Auctions, IAA and AFC, which also serve as our reportable business segments. These reportable business segments offer different services and have fundamental differences in their operations.
The holding company is maintained separately from the three reportable segments and includes expenses associated with the corporate offices, such as salaries, benefits and travel costs for the corporate management team, certain human resources, information technology and accounting costs, and certain insurance, treasury, legal and risk management costs. Holding company interest expense includes the interest expense incurred on capital leases and the corporate debt structure. Intercompany charges relate primarily to interest on intercompany debt or receivables and certain administrative costs allocated by the holding company.

Many of these risk factors are outside of our control, and as such, they involve risks which are not currently known that could cause actual results to differ materially from those discussed or implied herein. The forward-looking statements in this document are made as of the date on which they are made and we do not undertake to update our forward-looking statements.
Our future growth depends on a variety of factors, including our ability to increase vehicle sold volumes and loan transaction volumes, expand our product and service offerings, including information systems development, acquire and integrate additional business entities, manage expansion, control costs in our operations, introduce fee increases, and retain our executive officers and key employees. We cannot predict whether our growth strategy will be successful. In addition, we cannot predict what portion of overall sales will be conducted through online auctions or other remarketing methods in the future and what impact this may have on our auction business.
Overview
We provide whole car auction services and salvage auction services in North America and the United Kingdom. Our business is divided into three reportable business segments, each of which is an integral part of the vehicle remarketing industry: ADESA Auctions, IAA and AFC.
•
The ADESA Auctions segment serves a domestic and international customer base through live and online auctions and through 75 whole car auction facilities in North America that are developed and strategically located to draw professional sellers and buyers together and allow the buyers to inspect and compare vehicles remotely or in person. Through ADESA.com, powered by Openlane technology, ADESA offers comprehensive private label remarketing solutions to automobile manufacturers, captive finance companies and other institutions to offer vehicles via the Internet prior to arrival at the physical auction. Vehicles at ADESA's auctions are typically sold by commercial fleet operators, financial institutions, rental car companies, new and used vehicle dealers and vehicle manufacturers and their captive finance companies to franchise and independent used vehicle dealers. ADESA also provides value-added ancillary services including inbound and outbound transportation logistics, reconditioning, vehicle inspection and certification, titling, administrative and collateral recovery services. ADESA also includes TradeRev, an online automotive remarketing system where dealers can launch and participate in real-time vehicle auctions at any time, ADESA Remarketing Limited, an online whole car vehicle remarketing business in the United Kingdom and CarsOnTheWeb, an online wholesale vehicle auction marketplace in Continental Europe.

24

•
The IAA segment serves a domestic and international customer base through live and online auctions and through 179 salvage vehicle auction sites in the United States and Canada at March 31, 2019. IAA also includes HBC, which operates from 14 locations in the United Kingdom. The salvage auctions facilitate the remarketing of damaged vehicles designated as total losses by insurance companies, charity donation vehicles, recovered stolen (or theft) vehicles and low value used vehicles. The salvage auction business specializes in providing services such as inbound transportation, titling, salvage recovery and claims settlement administrative services. Another important component of the IAA service offering is the ability to process large volumes of total loss vehicles in a short period of time following catastrophic events such as hurricanes, tornadoes, floods, hail storms, fires or other natural disasters.
•
The AFC segment provides short-term, inventory-secured financing, known as floorplan financing, primarily to independent used vehicle dealers. At March 31, 2019, AFC conducted business at 127 locations in the United States and Canada. The Company also sells vehicle service contracts through Preferred Warranties, Inc. ("PWI").
The holding company is maintained separately from the three reportable segments and includes expenses associated with the corporate offices, such as salaries, benefits and travel costs for our management team, certain human resources, information technology and accounting costs, and certain insurance, treasury, legal and risk management costs. Holding company interest expense includes the interest expense incurred on capital leases and the corporate debt structure. Intercompany charges relate primarily to interest on intercompany debt or receivables and certain administrative costs allocated by the holding company.
Potential Spin-off of IAA
In February 2018, the Company announced that its board of directors had approved a plan to pursue the separation of its salvage auction business, currently operated by IAA, through a spin-off. The Company also announced that the separation was subject to customary regulatory approvals, the execution of intercompany agreements between the Company and IAA Spinco, final approval of the board of directors and other customary matters. The Company continues to work on and evaluate the spin-off and the options available to the Company for maximizing shareholder value. While at this time the Company expects to complete the spin-off in June 2019, the Company may, at any time and for any reason until the proposed transaction is complete, abandon, modify or change the terms of the spin-off.
It is currently expected that IAA Spinco will have total net debt of approximately 3.5 times Adjusted EBITDA. The actual amount of debt that will be issued by IAA Spinco will be determined at a future date when capital is raised for IAA Spinco. This is subject to approval by the board of directors at the time of the issuance of debt and completion of the spin-off. The total net leverage levels for IAA Spinco and KAR are expected to maintain the current corporate debt rating of BB-/B1 currently held by KAR for both entities. The Company expects to provide additional information on the expected dividend policies and the target leverage levels of each enterprise as we get closer to completion of the spin-off. There can be no assurance as to whether or when the spin-off will occur. IAA Spinco filed its initial Registration Statement on Form 10 on June 28, 2018, Amendment No. 1 to its Registration Statement on Form 10 on August 30, 2018, Amendment No. 2 to its Registration Statement on Form 10 on November 20, 2018 and Amendment No. 3 to its Registration Statement on Form 10 on March 5, 2019.
Industry Trends
Whole Car
Used vehicles sold in North America through whole car auctions, including online only sales, were approximately 10.6 million and 11.1 million in 2016 and 2017, respectively. Data for the whole car auction industry is collected by the NAAA through an annual survey. The NAAA industry volumes collected by the annual survey do not include online only volumes or mobile application volumes (e.g. Openlane and TradeRev). We have included online only volumes in the totals above for 2016 and 2017. Used vehicle auction volumes in North America in 2018 were approximately 11.5 million vehicles, including online only volumes and mobile application volumes. We expect that used vehicle auction volumes in North America, including online only volumes and mobile application volumes, will be over 11 million units in 2019, 2020 and 2021. Our estimates are based on information from the Bureau of Economic Analysis, IHS Automotive, Kontos Total Market Estimates, NAAA's annual survey and management estimates.
In addition to the traditional whole car auction market described above, which we estimate has sold near 11 million units in each of the last few years, mobile applications, such as TradeRev, may provide an opportunity to expand our total addressable market for whole car by approximately 5 million units. We are incurring costs to grow TradeRev in the U.S. and Canada. TradeRev incurred operating losses of $16.8 million and $11.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

25

Salvage
Vehicles deemed a total loss by automobile insurance companies represent the largest category of vehicles sold in the salvage vehicle auction industry. Based on data from CCC Information Services, the percentage of claims resulting in total losses was approximately 18% in 2018, 18% in 2017 and 17% in 2016. There is no central reporting system for the salvage vehicle auction industry that tracks the number of salvage vehicle auction volumes in any given year, which makes estimating industry volumes difficult. We believe that salvage auction industry volumes will grow 5% to 7% annually, for the foreseeable future.
Fluctuations in used vehicle and commodity pricing (aluminum, steel, etc.) have an impact on proceeds received in the salvage vehicle auction industry. In times of rising prices, revenue and gross profit are positively impacted. If used vehicle and commodity prices decrease, proceeds, revenue and gross profit at salvage auctions may be negatively impacted, which could adversely affect the level of profitability. During the first three months of 2019, the price per ton of crushed auto bodies in North America ranged from $177 to $179 and finished March 2019 at $178. In comparison, for the year ended December 31, 2018, the price per ton of crushed auto bodies in North America ranged from $187 to $215.
Automotive Finance
AFC works with independent used vehicle dealers to improve their results by providing a comprehensive set of business and financial solutions that leverages its local branches, industry experience and scale, as well as KAR affiliations. AFC's North American dealer base was comprised of approximately 15,800 dealers in 2018, and loan transactions, which includes both loans paid off and loans curtailed, were approximately 1.8 million in 2018.
Key challenges for the independent used vehicle dealer include demand for used vehicles, disruptions in pricing of used vehicle inventory, lack of access to consumer financing and increased competition resulting from consolidation in the used vehicle dealer industry. These same challenges, to the extent they occur, could result in a material negative impact on AFC's results of operations. A significant decline in used vehicle sales would result in a decrease in consumer auto loan originations and an increased number of dealers defaulting on their loans. In addition, volatility in wholesale vehicle pricing impacts the value of recovered collateral on defaulted loans and the resulting severity of credit losses at AFC.
Seasonality
The volume of vehicles sold through our auctions generally fluctuates from quarter-to-quarter. This seasonality is caused by several factors including weather, the timing of used vehicles available for sale from selling customers, the availability and quality of salvage vehicles, holidays, and the seasonality of the retail market for used vehicles, which affects the demand side of the auction industry. Used vehicle auction volumes tend to decline during prolonged periods of winter weather conditions. In addition, mild weather conditions and decreases in traffic volume can each lead to a decline in the available supply of salvage vehicles because fewer traffic accidents occur, resulting in fewer damaged vehicles overall. As a result, revenues and operating expenses related to volume will fluctuate accordingly on a quarterly basis. The fourth calendar quarter typically experiences lower used vehicle auction volume as well as additional costs associated with the holidays and winter weather.
Sources of Revenues and Expenses
Our revenue is derived from auction fees and related services associated with our whole car and salvage auctions, and from dealer financing fees, interest income and other service revenue at AFC. Although auction revenues primarily include the auction services and related fees, our related receivables and payables include the gross value of the vehicles sold.
Our operating expenses consist of cost of services, selling, general and administrative and depreciation and amortization. Cost of services is composed of payroll and related costs, subcontract services, the cost of vehicles purchased, supplies, insurance, property taxes, utilities, service contract claims, maintenance and lease expense related to the auction sites and loan offices. Cost of services excludes depreciation and amortization. Selling, general and administrative expenses are composed of payroll and related costs, sales and marketing, information technology services and professional fees.

Overview
For the three months ended March 31, 2019, we had revenue of $1,046.8 million compared with revenue of $950.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018, an increase of 10%. Businesses acquired accounted for an increase in revenue of $31.8 million or 3% of revenue. For a further discussion of revenues, gross profit and selling, general and administrative expenses, see the segment results discussions below.
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation and amortization decreased $4.2 million, or 6%, to $66.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019, compared with $70.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018. The decrease in depreciation and amortization was primarily the result of certain intangible assets that became fully amortized in the first quarter of 2019 and an approximately $2 million decrease resulting from the derecognition of fixed assets associated with certain sale leaseback transactions associated with the adoption of Topic 842, partially offset by certain assets placed in service over the last twelve months and depreciation and amortization for the assets of businesses acquired in 2018 and 2019.
Interest Expense
Interest expense increased $15.4 million, or 37%, to $56.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019, compared with $41.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase of approximately $121 million in the average outstanding balance of corporate debt for the three months ended March 31, 2019 compared with the three months ended March 31, 2018, as well as an increase in the weighted average interest rate for the same period of approximately 0.71%. In addition, there was an increase in interest expense at AFC of $3.7 million, which resulted from an increase in interest rates under the U.S. securitization agreement for the three months ended March 31, 2019, as compared with the three months ended March 31, 2018. The increases in interest expense were partially offset by $2.4 million received from the counterparties to the interest rate cap agreements.


27


Income Taxes
We had an effective tax rate of 26.5% for the three months ended March 31, 2019, compared with an effective tax rate of 22.7% for the three months ended March 31, 2018. Excluding the effect of discrete items, our effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 would have been 28.2% and 27.5%, respectively.
Impact of Foreign Currency
The strengthening of the U.S dollar has impacted the reporting of our Canadian operations in U.S. dollars. For the three months ended March 31, 2019, fluctuations in the Canadian exchange rate decreased revenue by $5.5 million, operating profit by $1.1 million, net income by $0.6 million and net income per diluted share by less than $0.01.

Revenue
Revenue from ADESA increased $71.6 million, or 14%, to $599.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019, compared with $528.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018. The increase in revenue was primarily a result of an 8% increase in the number of vehicles sold (6% increase excluding acquisitions) and average revenue per vehicle sold increased 5%. Businesses acquired in the last 12 months accounted for an increase in revenue of $31.8 million.
The increase in vehicles sold was primarily attributable to a 12% increase in institutional volume, including vehicles sold on our online only platform, partially offset by a 3% decrease in dealer consignment units sold (5% decrease excluding acquisitions) for the three months ended March 31, 2019 compared with the three months ended March 31, 2018. Online sales volume for ADESA represented approximately 57% of the total vehicles sold in the first quarter of 2019, compared with approximately 52% in the first quarter of 2018. "Online sales" includes the following: (i) selling vehicles directly from a dealership or other interim storage location (upstream selling); (ii) online solutions that offer vehicles for sale while in transit to auction locations (midstream selling); (iii) vehicles sold on the TradeRev platform; (iv) vehicle sales in Europe, including units sold by COTW; (v) simultaneously broadcasting video and audio of the physical auctions to online bidders (LiveBlock®); and (vi) bulletin-board or real-time online auctions (DealerBlock®). Upstream selling, midstream selling and TradeRev sales, which represent online only sales, accounted for approximately 71% of ADESA's North American online sales volume. ADESA sold approximately 367,000 (including approximately 31,000 from TradeRev) and 309,000 (including approximately 22,000 from TradeRev) vehicles through its North American online only offerings in the first quarter of 2019 and 2018, respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2019, dealer consignment vehicles represented approximately 38% of used vehicles sold at ADESA physical auction locations, compared with approximately 41% for the three months ended March 31, 2018. Vehicles

28

sold at physical auction locations in the first quarter of 2019 were consistent with the first quarter of 2018. The used vehicle conversion percentage at North American physical auction locations, calculated as the number of vehicles sold as a percentage of the number of vehicles entered for sale at our ADESA auctions, increased to 63.8% for the three months ended March 31, 2019, compared with 62.6% for the three months ended March 31, 2018.
Physical auction revenue per vehicle sold increased $55, or 7%, to $875 for the three months ended March 31, 2019, compared with $820 for the three months ended March 31, 2018. Physical auction revenue per vehicle sold includes revenue from seller and buyer auction fees and ancillary and other related services, which includes non-auction services and excludes the sale of purchased vehicles. The increase in physical auction revenue per vehicle sold was primarily attributable to an increase in lower margin ancillary and other related services revenue and auction fees related to higher average transaction prices, partially offset by a decrease in physical auction revenue per vehicle sold of $5 due to fluctuations in the Canadian exchange rate.
Online only auction revenue per vehicle sold increased $75 to $206 for the three months ended March 31, 2019, compared with $131 for the three months ended March 31, 2018. The increase in online only auction revenue per vehicle sold was attributable to an increase in purchased vehicles associated with the ADESA Assurance Program and the inclusion of TradeRev and CarsOnTheWeb sales. Excluding vehicles purchased as part of the ADESA Assurance Program and vehicles purchased by CarsOnTheWeb, online only revenue per vehicle would have been $144 and $117 for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The $27 increase in online only revenue per vehicle was attributable to increased revenue per vehicle for units sold on the TradeRev platform and the addition of CarsOnTheWeb.
Gross Profit
For the three months ended March 31, 2019, gross profit for ADESA increased $6.9 million, or 3%, to $229.0 million, compared with $222.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018. Gross profit for ADESA was 38.2% of revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2019, compared with 42.1% of revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2018. Gross profit as a percentage of revenue decreased for the three months ended March 31, 2019 as compared with the three months ended March 31, 2018 as a result of an increase in purchase vehicles primarily related to the acquisition of COTW and increased activity under ADESA Assurance, as well as an increase in lower margin related services. Excluding purchased vehicles, gross profit as a percentage of revenue was 42.2% and 44.2% for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Businesses acquired in the last 12 months accounted for an increase in cost of services of $26.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019.
Selling, General and Administrative
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the ADESA segment increased $17.8 million, or 16%, to $126.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019, compared with $108.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018, primarily due to increases in costs associated with TradeRev aggregating $8.0 million, acquisitions of $4.6 million, compensation expense of $2.7 million, incentive-based compensation $1.8 million, information technology costs of $1.5 million, benefit related expense of $0.6 million, and other miscellaneous expenses aggregating $1.0 million, partially offset by fluctuations in the Canadian exchange rate of $1.2 million and a decrease in supplies expense of $1.2 million.

Revenue
Revenue from IAA increased $19.9 million, or 6%, to $357.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019, compared with $337.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018. The increase in revenue was a result of an increase in vehicles sold of approximately 1% for the three months ended March 31, 2019. Revenue per vehicle sold increased 5% for the three months ended March 31, 2019 compared with the three months ended March 31, 2018, and included a decrease in revenue of $1.8 million due to fluctuations in the Canadian exchange rate, as well as a decrease in revenue of $1.5 million from HBC, which included a decrease in revenue of $0.6 million due to fluctuations in the U.K. exchange rate. IAA's North American same-store total loss vehicle inventory increased approximately 10% at March 31, 2019, as compared to March 31, 2018. Vehicles sold under purchase agreements were approximately 4% of total salvage vehicles sold for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018. North American online sales volumes for IAA for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 each represented over 60% of the total vehicles sold by IAA.
Gross Profit
For the three months ended March 31, 2019, gross profit at IAA increased to $138.8 million, or 38.9% of revenue, compared with $130.6 million, or 38.7% of revenue, for the three months ended March 31, 2018. The increase in gross profit was mainly attributable to a 6% increase in revenue, partially offset by a 6% increase in cost of services, which included costs associated with purchase contract vehicles, additional lease expense related to lease agreements previously impacting depreciation expense and organic volume growth. 
Excluding HBC, IAA's gross profit margin was 39.3% and 39.2% for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, HBC had revenue of approximately $8.2 million and $9.7 million, respectively, and cost of services of approximately $6.5 million and $7.6 million, respectively, as fewer of HBC's vehicles were sold under purchase contracts. The entire selling and purchase price of the vehicle is recorded as revenue and cost of services for purchase contracts.
Selling, General and Administrative
Selling, general and administrative expenses at IAA increased $0.8 million, or 3%, to $31.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019, compared with $30.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses was primarily attributable to increases in compensation expense of $0.8 million and other miscellaneous expenses aggregating $0.6 million, partially offset by a decrease in incentive-based compensation expense of $0.6 million.

Revenue
For the three months ended March 31, 2019, AFC revenue increased $4.8 million, or 6%, to $89.9 million, compared with $85.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018. The increase in revenue was primarily the result of a 7% increase in revenue per loan transaction.
Revenue per loan transaction, which includes both loans paid off and loans curtailed, increased $11, or 7%. Approximately $12 of the increase in revenue per loan transaction was the result of increases in interest yield and fee revenue as a result of prime rate increases, as well as an increase in average loan values. The increase in provision for credit losses, which is a reduction of revenue, resulted in a decrease in revenue per loan transaction of $1 for the three months ended March 31, 2019. Revenue per loan transaction excludes "Other service revenue."
The provision for credit losses remained constant at 1.6% of the average managed receivables for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018. The provision for credit losses is expected to be under 2%, annually, of the average managed receivables balance. However, the actual losses in any particular quarter could deviate from this range.
Gross Profit
For the three months ended March 31, 2019, gross profit for the AFC segment increased $3.9 million, or 6%, to $66.7 million, or 74.2% of revenue, compared with $62.8 million, or 73.8% of revenue, for the three months ended March 31, 2018, primarily as a result of a 6% increase in revenue, partially offset by a 4% increase in cost of services. The increase in cost of services was the result of increases in PWI expenses of $0.6 million, compensation expense of $0.3 million and other miscellaneous expenses aggregating $0.4 million, partially offset by a decrease in lot checks of $0.4 million.
Selling, General and Administrative
Selling, general and administrative expenses at AFC decreased $0.8 million, or 10%, to $7.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019, compared with $8.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018, primarily as a result of decreases in compensation expense of $0.3 million, incentive-based compensation of $0.3 million and travel expenses of $0.3 million, partially offset by an increase in other miscellaneous expenses aggregating $0.1 million.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
We believe that the significant indicators of liquidity for our business are cash on hand, cash flow from operations, working capital and amounts available under our Credit Facility. Our principal sources of liquidity consist of cash generated by operations and borrowings under our revolving credit facility.

There were related outstanding letters of credit totaling approximately $32.9 million at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 and $32.4 million at March 31, 2018, which reduced the amount available for borrowings under the revolving credit facility.
We regularly evaluate alternatives for our capital structure and liquidity given our expected cash flows, growth and operating capital requirements as well as capital market conditions.
Working Capital
A substantial amount of our working capital is generated from the payments received for services provided. The majority of our working capital needs are short-term in nature, usually less than a week in duration. Due to the decentralized nature of the business, payments for most vehicles purchased are received at each auction and branch. Most of the financial institutions place a temporary hold on the availability of the funds deposited that generally can range up to two business days, resulting in cash in our accounts and on our balance sheet that is unavailable for use until it is made available by the various financial institutions. There are outstanding checks (book overdrafts) to sellers and vendors included in current liabilities. Because a portion of these outstanding checks for operations in the U.S. are drawn upon bank accounts at financial institutions other than the financial institutions that hold the cash, we cannot offset all the cash and the outstanding checks on our balance sheet. Changes in working capital vary from quarter-to-quarter as a result of the timing of collections and disbursements of funds to consignors from auctions held near period end.
Approximately $100.6 million of available cash was held by our foreign subsidiaries at March 31, 2019. If funds held by our foreign subsidiaries were to be repatriated, state and local income tax expense and foreign withholding tax expense would need to be recognized, net of any applicable foreign tax credits.
AFC offers short-term inventory-secured financing, also known as floorplan financing, to independent used vehicle dealers. Financing is primarily provided for terms of 30 to 90 days. AFC principally generates its funding through the sale of its receivables. The receivables sold pursuant to the securitization agreements are accounted for as secured borrowings. For further discussion of AFC's securitization arrangements, see "Securitization Facilities."
Credit Facilities
On May 31, 2017, we entered into an Incremental Commitment Agreement and Second Amendment (the "Second Amendment") to the Credit Agreement. The Second Amendment provided for, among other things, (i) the refinancing and repricing of the existing tranche B-2 term loans ("Term Loan B-2") remaining after the repayment with new tranche B-4 term loans in an aggregate principal amount of $717 million ("Term Loan B-4"), (ii) the refinancing and repricing of existing tranche B-3 term loans ("Term Loan B-3") remaining after the repayment with new tranche B-5 term loans in an aggregate principal amount of $1.05 billion ("Term Loan B-5") and (iii) a $350 million senior secured revolving credit facility (the "revolving credit facility").

The Credit Facility is available for letters of credit, working capital, permitted acquisitions and general corporate
purposes. The Credit Agreement provides that with respect to the revolving credit facility, up to $75 million is available for
letters of credit and up to $90 million is available for swing line loans.

Both Term Loan B-4 and Term Loan B-5 are payable in quarterly installments equal to 0.25% of their respective original aggregate principal amounts, with the balances payable at each respective maturity date. The Credit Facility is subject to

32

mandatory prepayments and reduction in an amount equal to the net proceeds of certain debt offerings, certain asset sales and certain insurance recovery events.

As set forth in the Credit Agreement, Term Loan B-4 bears interest at Adjusted LIBOR (as defined in the Credit
Agreement) plus 2.25%, Term Loan B-5 at Adjusted LIBOR plus 2.50% and revolving loan borrowings at Adjusted LIBOR plus 2.0%. However, for specified types of borrowings, the Company may elect to make Term Loan B-4 borrowings at a Base Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement) plus 1.25%, Term Loan B-5 at a Base Rate plus 1.50% and revolving loan borrowings at a Base Rate plus 1.0%. The rates on Term Loan B-4 and Term Loan B-5 were 4.88% and 5.13% at March 31, 2019, respectively. In addition, if the Company's Consolidated Senior Secured Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) which is based on a net debt calculation, increases to levels specified in the Credit Agreement, the applicable interest rate on the revolving credit facility will step up by 25 basis points. The Company also pays a commitment fee of 30 to 35 basis points, payable quarterly, on the average daily unused amount of the revolving credit facility based on the Company's Consolidated Senior Secured Leverage Ratio as described above.
On March 31, 2019, $704.4 million was outstanding on Term Loan B-4, $1,031.5 million was outstanding on Term Loan B-5 and $93.5 million was drawn on the revolving credit facility. In addition, we had related outstanding letters of credit in the aggregate amount of $32.9 million at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, which reduce the amount available for borrowings under the revolving credit facility. Our Canadian operations also have a C$8 million line of credit which was undrawn at March 31, 2019. However, there were related letters of credit outstanding totaling approximately C$1.0 million at March 31, 2019, which reduce amounts available under the Canadian line of credit. In addition, our European operations have lines of credit aggregating €30 million of which $15.3 million was drawn at March 31, 2019.
The obligations of the Company under the Credit Facility are guaranteed by certain of our domestic subsidiaries (the "Subsidiary Guarantors") and are secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors, including but not limited to: (a) pledges of and first priority perfected security interests in 100% of the equity interests of certain of the Company's and the Subsidiary Guarantors' domestic subsidiaries and 65% of the equity interests of certain of the Company's and the Subsidiary Guarantors' first tier foreign subsidiaries and (b) perfected first priority security interests in substantially all other tangible and intangible assets of the Company and each Subsidiary Guarantor, subject to certain exceptions.
The Credit Agreement contains certain restrictive loan covenants, including, among others, a financial covenant requiring that a maximum consolidated senior secured leverage ratio be satisfied as of the last day of each fiscal quarter if revolving loans are outstanding, and covenants limiting our ability to incur indebtedness, grant liens, make acquisitions, consummate change of control transactions, dispose of assets, pay dividends, make investments and engage in certain transactions with affiliates. The senior secured leverage ratio is calculated as total senior secured debt divided by the last four quarters consolidated Adjusted EBITDA. Senior secured debt includes term loan borrowings, revolving loans and capital lease liabilities less available cash as defined in the Credit Agreement. Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA is EBITDA (earnings before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization) adjusted to exclude among other things (a) gains and losses from asset sales; (b) unrealized foreign currency translation gains and losses in respect of indebtedness; (c) certain non-recurring gains and losses; (d) stock-based compensation expense; (e) certain other non-cash amounts included in the determination of net income; (f) charges and revenue reductions resulting from purchase accounting; (g) minority interest; (h) expenses associated with the consolidation of salvage operations; (i) consulting expenses incurred for cost reduction, operating restructuring and business improvement efforts; (j) expenses realized upon the termination of employees and the termination or cancellation of leases, software licenses or other contracts in connection with the operational restructuring and business improvement efforts; (k) expenses incurred in connection with permitted acquisitions; (l) any impairment charges or write-offs of intangibles; and (m) any extraordinary, unusual or non-recurring charges, expenses or losses.
Certain covenants contained within the Credit Agreement are critical to an investor's understanding of our financial liquidity, as the failure to maintain compliance with these covenants could result in a default and allow our lenders to declare all amounts borrowed immediately due and payable. The maximum consolidated senior secured leverage ratio is required to be met when there are revolving loans outstanding under our Credit Agreement. For the quarter ended March 31, 2019 the ratio could not exceed 3.5 to 1.0. Our consolidated senior secured leverage ratio, including capital lease obligations of $47.0 million, was 1.96 to 1.0 at March 31, 2019.
In addition, the Credit Agreement and the indenture governing our senior notes contain certain financial and operational restrictions that limit our ability to pay dividends and other distributions, make certain acquisitions or investments, incur indebtedness, grant liens and sell assets. The covenants in the Credit Agreement and the indenture governing our senior notes affect our operating flexibility by, among other things, restricting our ability to incur expenses and indebtedness that could be used to grow the business, as well as to fund general corporate purposes. We were in compliance with the covenants in the Credit Agreement and the indenture governing our senior notes at March 31, 2019.

33

We believe our sources of liquidity from our cash and cash equivalents on hand, working capital, cash provided by operating activities, and availability under our credit facility are sufficient to meet our short and long-term operating needs for the foreseeable future. In addition, we believe the previously mentioned sources of liquidity will be sufficient to fund our capital requirements, debt service payments, announced acquisitions and dividends for the next twelve months.
Senior Notes
On May 31, 2017, we issued $950 million of 5.125% senior notes due June 1, 2025. The Company pays interest on the senior notes semi-annually in arrears on June 1 and December 1 of each year, which commenced on December 1, 2017. We may redeem the senior notes, in whole or in part, at any time prior to June 1, 2020 at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount plus a make-whole premium and thereafter at a premium that declines ratably to par in 2023. The senior notes are guaranteed by the Subsidiary Guarantors.
Securitization Facilities
AFC sells the majority of its U.S. dollar denominated finance receivables on a revolving basis and without recourse to AFC Funding Corporation. A securitization agreement allows for the revolving sale by AFC Funding Corporation to a group of bank purchasers of undivided interests in certain finance receivables subject to committed liquidity. The agreement expires on January 28, 2022. AFC Funding Corporation had committed liquidity of $1.70 billion for U.S. finance receivables at March 31, 2019.
We also have an agreement for the securitization of AFCI's receivables. AFCI's committed facility is provided through a third-party conduit (separate from the U.S. facility) and was C$175 million at March 31, 2019. The receivables sold pursuant to both the U.S. and Canadian securitization agreements are accounted for as secured borrowings.
AFC managed total finance receivables of $1,989.1 million and $2,014.8 million at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. AFC's allowance for losses was $14.3 million and $14.0 million at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.
As of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, $1,916.4 million and $1,973.2 million, respectively, of finance receivables and a cash reserve of 1 percent of the obligations collateralized by finance receivables served as security for the $1,360.6 million and $1,445.3 million of obligations collateralized by finance receivables at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. There were unamortized securitization issuance costs of approximately $17.9 million and $19.4 million at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. After the occurrence of a termination event, as defined in the U.S. securitization agreement, the banks may, and could, cause the stock of AFC Funding Corporation to be transferred to the bank facility, though as a practical matter the bank facility would look to the liquidation of the receivables under the transaction documents as their primary remedy.
Proceeds from the revolving sale of receivables to the bank facilities are used to fund new loans to customers. AFC, AFC Funding Corporation and AFCI must maintain certain financial covenants including, among others, limits on the amount of debt AFC and AFCI can incur, minimum levels of tangible net worth, and other covenants tied to the performance of the finance receivables portfolio. The securitization agreements also incorporate the financial covenants of our Credit Facility. At March 31, 2019, we were in compliance with the covenants in the securitization agreements.
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, as presented herein, are supplemental measures of our performance that are not required by, or presented in accordance with, generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, or GAAP. They are not measurements of our financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered substitutes for net income (loss) or any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP.
EBITDA is defined as net income (loss), plus interest expense net of interest income, income tax provision (benefit), depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is EBITDA adjusted for the items of income and expense and expected incremental revenue and cost savings, as described above in the discussion of certain restrictive loan covenants under "Credit Facilities."
Management believes that the inclusion of supplementary adjustments to EBITDA applied in presenting Adjusted EBITDA is appropriate to provide additional information to investors about one of the principal measures of performance used by our creditors. In addition, management uses EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to evaluate our performance. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA have limitations as analytical tools, and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of the results as reported under GAAP. These measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

Cash flow from operating activities was $93.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019, compared with $152.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018. The decrease in operating cash flow was primarily attributable to changes in operating assets and liabilities as a result of the timing of collections and the disbursement of funds to consignors for auctions held near period-ends, as well as decreased profitability, partially offset by a net increase in non-cash item adjustments.
Net cash used by investing activities was $156.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019, compared with $91.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018. The increase in net cash used by investing activities was primarily attributable to:
•
an increase in cash used for acquisitions of approximately $97.4 million; and
•
an increase in cash used for capital expenditures of approximately $15.3 million;
partially offset by:
•
a net decrease in finance receivables held for investment of approximately $48.2 million.

36

Net cash used by financing activities was $18.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019, compared with $41.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018. The decrease in net cash used by financing activities was primarily attributable to:
•
a $108.8 million increase in borrowings from lines of credit; and
•
a larger net increase in book overdrafts in 2018 compared with 2017, resulting in an increase of approximately $15.3 million;
partially offset by:
•
a net decrease in the obligations collateralized by finance receivables of approximately $85.5 million; and
•
an increase in the payments on long-term debt of $10.7 million.
Capital Expenditures
Capital expenditures for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 approximated $54.0 million and $38.7 million, respectively. Capital expenditures were funded primarily from internally generated funds. We continue to invest in our core information technology capabilities and capacity expansion. Capital expenditures are expected to be approximately $200 million for fiscal year 2019. Approximately half of the 2019 capital expenditures are expected to relate to technology-based investments, including improvements in information technology systems and infrastructure. Other anticipated capital expenditures are primarily attributable to improvements and expansion at the Company's facilities. Future capital expenditures could vary substantially based on capital project timing, the opening of new auction facilities, capital expenditures related to acquired businesses and the initiation of new information systems projects to support our business strategies.
Dividends
The following dividend information has been released for 2019:
•
On May 7, 2019, the Company announced a cash dividend of $0.35 per share that is payable on June 17, 2019, to stockholders of record at the close of business on June 3, 2019.
•
On February 19, 2019, the Company announced a cash dividend of $0.35 per share that was paid on April 4, 2019, to stockholders of record at the close of business on March 22, 2019.
•
On November 6, 2018, the Company announced a cash dividend of $0.35 per share that was paid on January 4, 2019, to stockholders of record at the close of business on December 20, 2018.
Future dividend decisions will be based on and affected by a variety of factors, including our financial condition and results of operations, contractual restrictions, including restrictive covenants contained in our Credit Agreement and AFC's securitization facilities and the indenture governing our senior notes, capital requirements and other factors that our board of directors deems relevant. No assurance can be given as to whether any future dividends may be declared by our board of directors or the amount thereof.
Acquisitions
In January 2019, the Company completed the acquisition of Dent-ology. Dent-ology enhances our mobile reconditioning capabilities and bolsters our offerings to include wheel repair and expanded hail catastrophe response services.
In January 2019, the Company also completed the acquisition of CarsOnTheWeb. COTW is an online auction company serving the wholesale vehicle sector in Continental Europe that seamlessly connects OEMs, fleet owners, wholesalers and dealers. The acquisition advances KAR’s international strategy and extends its strong North American and U.K.-based portfolio of physical, online and digital auction marketplaces.
Certain of the purchase agreements included additional payments over a specified period contingent on certain terms, conditions and performance. The purchased assets included accounts receivable, inventory, property and equipment, customer relationships, tradenames and software. Financial results for each acquisition have been included in our consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition.
 
The aggregate purchase price for the businesses acquired in the first quarter of 2019, net of cash acquired, was approximately $193.5 million, which included net cash payments of $120.7 million, deferred payments with a fair value of $19.7 million and estimated contingent payments with a fair value of $53.1 million. The maximum amount of undiscounted

37

deferred payments and undiscounted contingent payments related to these acquisitions could approximate $77.0 million. The purchase price for the acquired businesses was allocated to acquired assets and liabilities based upon fair values, including $33.4 million to intangible assets, representing the fair value of acquired customer relationships of $27.0 million, software of $4.3 million and tradenames of $2.1 million, which are being amortized over their expected useful lives. The purchase accounting associated with these acquisitions is preliminary, subject to final valuation results. The acquisitions resulted in aggregate goodwill of $160.5 million. The goodwill is recorded in the ADESA Auctions reportable segment. The financial impact of these acquisitions, including pro forma financial results, was immaterial to the Company’s consolidated results for the three months ended March 31, 2019.

Contractual Obligations
The Company's contractual cash obligations for long-term debt, interest payments related to long-term debt, capital lease obligations and operating leases are summarized in the table of contractual obligations in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018. Since December 31, 2018, there have been no material changes to the contractual obligations of the Company, with the exception of the following:
•
Operating lease obligations change in the ordinary course of business. We lease most of our facilities, as well as other property and equipment under operating leases. Future operating lease obligations will continue to change if renewal options are exercised and/or if we enter into additional operating lease agreements.
See Note 6 and Note 8 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, for additional information about the items described above. Our contractual cash obligations as of December 31, 2018, are discussed in the "Contractual Obligations" section of "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" in Part II, Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC").
Critical Accounting Estimates
Our critical accounting estimates are discussed in the "Critical Accounting Estimates" section of "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" in Part II, Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018, as filed with the SEC. A summary of significant accounting policies is discussed in Note 2 and elsewhere in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018, which includes audited financial statements.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of March 31, 2019, we had no off-balance sheet arrangements pursuant to Item 303(a)(4) of Regulation S-K under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act").
New Accounting Standards
For a description of new accounting standards that could affect the Company, reference the "New Accounting Standards" section of Note 1 to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements, included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Item 3.    Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Foreign Currency
Our foreign currency exposure is limited and arises from transactions denominated in foreign currencies, particularly intercompany loans, as well as from translation of the results of operations from our Canadian and, to a much lesser extent, United Kingdom, Continental Europe and Mexican subsidiaries. However, fluctuations between U.S. and non-U.S. currency values may adversely affect our results of operations and financial position. We have not entered into any foreign exchange contracts to hedge changes in the Canadian dollar, British pound, euro or Mexican peso. Canadian currency translation negatively affected net income by approximately $0.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019. A 1% decrease in the average Canadian exchange rate for the three months ended March 31, 2019 would have impacted net income by approximately $0.1 million. Currency exposure of our U.K., Continental Europe and Mexican operations is not material to the results of operations.
Interest Rates
We are exposed to interest rate risk on our variable rate borrowings. Accordingly, interest rate fluctuations affect the amount of interest expense we are obligated to pay. We currently use interest rate cap agreements to manage our exposure to interest rate changes. We have not designated any of the interest rate caps as hedges for accounting purposes. Accordingly, changes in the fair value of the interest rate caps are recognized as "Interest expense" in the consolidated statement of income.
In August 2017, we entered into two interest rate caps with an aggregate notional amount of $800 million to manage our exposure to interest rate movements on our variable rate Credit Facility when three-month LIBOR exceeds 2.0%. The interest rate cap agreements each had an effective date of September 30, 2017 and each mature on September 30, 2019. We paid an aggregate amount of approximately $1.0 million for the caps in August 2017.
In March 2017, we entered into two interest rate caps with an aggregate notional amount of $400 million to manage our exposure to interest rate movements on our variable rate Credit Facility when three-month LIBOR exceeded 2.0%. The interest rate cap agreements each had an effective date of March 31, 2017 and each matured on March 31, 2019. We paid an aggregate amount of approximately $0.7 million for the caps in April 2017.
Taking our interest rate caps into account, a sensitivity analysis of the impact on our variable rate corporate debt instruments to a hypothetical 100 basis point increase in short-term rates (LIBOR) for the three months ended March 31, 2019 would have resulted in an increase in interest expense of approximately $1.7 million. As of March 31, 2019, the three-month LIBOR rate on Term Loan B-4 and Term Loan B-5 exceeded the 2.0% cap rates. As such, $800 million of our $1.7 billion in variable rate debt is not exposed to interest rate movements as long as three-month LIBOR remains above 2.0% for the duration of the caps.

Item 4.    Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we carried out an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e). Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f), during the quarter ended March 31, 2019, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II
OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1.    Legal Proceedings
We are involved in litigation and disputes arising in the ordinary course of business, such as actions related to injuries; property damage; handling, storage or disposal of vehicles; environmental laws and regulations; and other litigation incidental to the business such as employment matters and dealer disputes. Such litigation is generally not, in the opinion of management, likely to have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. Legal and regulatory proceedings which could be material are discussed below.
Certain legal proceedings in which the Company is involved are discussed in Note 16 to the consolidated financial statements in Part II, Item 8 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 and Part I, Item 3 of the same Annual Report. Unless otherwise indicated, all proceedings discussed in the Annual Report remain outstanding.
IAA—Lower Duwamish Waterway
Since June 2004, IAA has operated a branch on property it leases in Tukwila, Washington just south of Seattle. The property is located adjacent to a Superfund site known as the Lower Duwamish Waterway Superfund Site ("LDW Site"). The LDW Site had been designated a Superfund site in 2001, three years prior to IAA’s tenancy. On March 25, 2008, the United States Environmental Protection Agency, or the "EPA," issued IAA a General Notice of Potential Liability, or "General Notice," pursuant to Section 107(a), and a Request for Information pursuant to Section 104(e) of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act, or "CERCLA," related to the LDW Site. On November 7, 2012, the EPA issued IAA a Second General Notice of Potential Liability, or "Second General Notice," for the LDW Site. The EPA's website indicates that the EPA has issued general notice letters to approximately 116 entities, and has issued Section 104(e) Requests to more than 300 entities related to the LDW Site. In the General Notice and Second General Notice, the EPA informed IAA that the EPA believed IAA may be a Potentially Responsible Party, or "PRP," but the EPA did not specify the factual basis for this assertion. At this time, the EPA still has not specified the factual basis for this assertion and has not demanded that IAA pay any funds or take any action apart from responding to the Section 104(e) Information Request. Four PRPs, The Boeing Company, the City of Seattle, the Port of Seattle and King County - the Lower Duwamish Waterway Group ("LDWG"), have funded a remedial investigation and feasibility study related to the cleanup of the LDW Site. In December 2014, the EPA issued a Record of Decision ("ROD"), detailing the final cleanup plan for the LDW Site. The ROD estimated the cost of cleanup to be $342 million, with the plan involving dredging of 105 acres, capping 24 acres, and enhanced natural recovery of 48 acres. The estimated length of the cleanup was 17 years, including 7 years of active remediation, and 10 years of monitored natural recovery. IAA is aware that certain authorities may bring natural resource damage claims against PRPs. On February 11, 2016, IAA received a Notice of Intent letter from the United States National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration informing IAA that the Elliott Bay Trustee Council were beginning to conduct an injury assessment for natural resource damages in the LDW. The Notice of Intent indicated that the decision of the trustees to proceed with this natural resources injury assessment followed a pre-assessment screen performed by the trustees. Shortly thereafter, in a letter dated August 16, 2016, EPA issued a status update to the PRPs at the LDW Site. The letter stated that EPA expected the bulk of the pre-remedial design work currently being performed by the LDWG to be completed by the beginning of 2018, with the Remedial Design/Remedial Action ("RD/RA") phase to follow. The EPA previously anticipated that the pre-design work would be completed sometime during 2018, and the Company is not aware of any further information regarding that schedule. Accordingly, RD/RA negotiations with all PRPs may begin sometime in 2019. At this time, the Company has not received any further notices from the EPA and does not have adequate information to determine IAA's responsibility, if any, for contamination at this site, or to estimate IAA's loss as a result of this potential liability.
In addition, the Washington State Department of Ecology ("Ecology") is working with the EPA in relation to the LDW Site, primarily to investigate and address sources of potential contamination contributing to the LDW Site. In 2007, IAA installed a stormwater capture and filtration system designed to treat sources of potential contamination before discharge to the LDW Site. The immediate-past property owner, the former property owner and IAA have had discussions with Ecology concerning possible source control measures, including an investigation of the water and soils entering the stormwater system, an analysis of the source of contamination identified within the system, if any, and possible repairs and upgrades to the stormwater system if required. Additional source control measures, if any, are not expected to have a material adverse effect on future recurring operating costs.

Item 1A.    Risk Factors
In addition to the other information set forth in this report, readers should carefully consider the factors discussed in Part I, "Item 1A. Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018, which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results. The risks described in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K are not the only risks we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results.
