Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition

On July 28, 2006, ADESA, Inc. conducted a live Webcast, including presentation visuals, discussing its financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2006. The call featured a review of operating highlights and financial results for the second quarter of 2006.

The presentation for the July 28, 2006 earnings conference call and Webcast is attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 99 and incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.

The information is being furnished pursuant to Item 2.02, “Results of Operations and Financial Condition.” This information, including Exhibit 99 attached hereto, shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Act of 1934, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference to such filing.

Within the Company’s earnings conference call presentation, the Company makes reference to EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure. The Company has presented reconciling information along with the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States (“GAAP”) for the above non-GAAP financial measure in the presentation visuals. The Company believes that the measure represents an important internal measure of performance. Accordingly, where this non-GAAP measure is provided, it is done so that investors have the same financial data that management uses with the belief that it will assist the investment community in properly assessing the underlying performance of the Company on a year-over-year and quarter-sequential basis.

The Company’s management believes that EBITDA is a useful supplement and meaningful indicator of earnings performance to be used by its investors, financial analysts and others to analyze the Company’s financial performance and results of operations over time. This performance measure also represents one of the principal internal measures of performance and forms the basis of internal management performance expectations and incentive compensation. The most directly comparable financial performance measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP is net income and income from continuing operations. A reconciliation of net income and income from continuing operations to EBITDA for each of the fiscal periods indicated is presented in the slides.
