2011 fourth quarter revenue totaled $3.7 billion, compared to $3.2 billion in the year-ago period, an increase of 13%, driven primarily by stronger retail new and used vehicle revenue. AutoNation's new vehicle unit sales increased 10% on a same store basis and were up 13% overall. Based on CNW Research data, in the fourth quarter, total U.S. industry new retail vehicle unit sales increased 7%.
2011 fourth quarter gross profit totaled $579 million, compared to $545 million in the year-ago period, an increase of 6%, primarily due to an increase in retail new vehicle gross profit, as well as an increase in finance and insurance gross profit. Gross profit per new vehicle retailed was favorably impacted by $34 in the fourth quarter of 2011 and by $247 in the fourth quarter of 2010 related to additional incentives primarily on premium luxury vehicles previously sold. On a per-vehicle basis, gross profit per new vehicle retailed increased $52 or 2%, despite the decrease in additional incentives compared to the year-ago period. Finance and insurance gross profit per vehicle retailed increased $63 or 5%, as compared to the year-ago period.
Mike Jackson, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, said, "We continued to deliver impressive results, setting another record for the highest ever annual and quarterly adjusted EPS from continuing operations. We are pleased with our strong year-over-year growth across all areas of our business." Mr. Jackson concluded, "We are looking forward to the continued recovery in auto retail, buoyed by accelerated product offerings, robust consumer credit and strong replacement demand. We expect industry new vehicle sales to be approximately 14 million units in 2012."
