Insurance Auto Auctions, Inc. Discusses Business Outlook
WESTCHESTER, Ill.--Insurance Auto Auctions, Inc., (IAAI) a wholly owned subsidiary of KAR Auction Services, Inc. (the “Company”) today discussed that in the ordinary course of business, Allstate, one of its insurance customers, has chosen to transition the remainder of its business to a competitor who already has the substantial majority of its volume. It is IAAI’s understanding that the transition will be completed sometime later in 2010.
“While we are disappointed with Allstate’s decision, we will work closely to assist them with the transition and we look forward to doing business with them again in the future.”
Commenting on the action, Insurance Auto Auctions, Inc.’s President and Chief Executive Officer, Tom O’Brien stated, “While we are disappointed with Allstate’s decision, we will work closely to assist them with the transition and we look forward to doing business with them again in the future.” O’Brien went on to state, “While it is not our policy to make announcements on individual customer wins or losses, we have had a number of significant customer wins that should offset the impact of Allstate’s decision. On balance, we do not anticipate this having a material impact on KAR’s financial performance.”
