    This presentation contains "forward-looking statements“ within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation

    Reform Act of 1995, which are statements related to future, not past, events and are based on our current

    expectations and assumptions regarding our business, the economy and other future conditions. While

    management believes that these forward-looking statements are reasonable as and when made, there can be

    no assurance that future developments affecting us will be those that we anticipate. In this context, the

    forward-looking statements often include statements regarding our goals, plans, projections and guidance

    regarding our financial position, results of operations, market position, pending and potential future

    acquisitions and business strategy, and often contain words such as “expects,” “anticipates,” “intends,”

    “plans,” “believes,” “seeks,” “should,” “foresee,” “may” or “will” and similar expressions. Any such forward-

    looking statements are not assurances of future performance and involve risks and uncertainties that may

    cause actual results to differ materially from those set forth in the statements. These risks and uncertainties

    include, among other things, (a) general economic and business conditions, (b) the level of manufacturer

    incentives, (c) the future regulatory environment, (d) our ability to obtain an inventory of desirable new and

    used vehicles, (e) our relationship with our automobile manufacturers and the willingness of manufacturers to

    approve future acquisitions, (f) our cost of financing and the availability of credit for consumers, (g) our ability

    to complete acquisitions and dispositions and the risks associated therewith, (h) foreign exchange controls

    and currency fluctuations, and (i) our ability to retain key personnel. For additional information regarding

    known material factors that could cause our actual results to differ from our projected results, please see our

    filings with SEC, including our Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Current

    Reports on Form 8-K. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements,

    which speak only as of the date hereof. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-

    looking statements after the date they are made, whether as a result of new information, future events or

    otherwise.

    n Primary exposure is short-term interest rate changes; key exposure is one-month LIBOR

    n Group 1 has mitigated the majority of its risk exposure for rising interest rates through a combination of the swaps, fixed rate debt, and manufacturer floorplan assistance

    n Manufacturer floorplan assistance offsets a portion of interest rate impact

    Ø As interest rates go up, typically manufactures offer additional interest assistance to offset the variance

    Ø 84% of variable inventory financing is eligible for floorplan assistance as used vehicle; rental and some foreign financing are not eligible for floorplan assistance

    Ø Interest assistance is recognized in new vehicle gross profit, not in interest expense

    Actual Variable %

    Vehicle Financing $1,477.1 92.8%

    Real Estate & Other Debt $599.2 64.3%

    Senior Notes (1) $550.0 0.00%

    SWAPS (2) $550.0

    (1) Face Value (2) SWAPS range from $50-$750 million through 2021, see slide 40 for more details
