May 2017 Sales
May U.S. auto sales projected to rise -- slightly

U.S. new-vehicle sales are expected to rise very slightly in May from a year ago, narrowly snapping the industry's streak of four consecutive monthly declines. But one forecaster is cutting its outlook for the year after the spring selling season has come in weaker than anticipated.U.S. new-vehicle sales are expected to rise very slightly in May from a year ago, narrowly snapping the industry's streak of four consecutive monthly declines. But one forecaster is cutting its outlook for the year after the spring selling season has come in weaker than anticipated.
LMC Automotive said it now expects 2017 sales of 17.2 million, 2 percent fewer than the record 17.55 million sold last year.
The annualized selling rate is projected to be less than 17 million for a third consecutive month, more evidence that the market has passed its peak. That would mean the industry will already have had as many sub-17 million months in 2017 as it did in each of the past two full years.
Forecasts released Thursday by LMC, Kelley Blue Book and Edmunds project sales-volume increases of no more than 0.5 percent. That's in spite of the month having one more selling day than May 2016. Many automakers are counting on showroom traffic over the long Memorial Day weekend to put May into positive territory.
"Generous incentives are keeping traffic flowing to dealer lots, but a lot is riding on Memorial Day sales for automakers to keep momentum strong through the crucial summer selling months," Jessica Caldwell, Edmunds' executive director of industry analysis, said in a statement. "As long as high inventories continue to drive attractive deals and the economy remains strong, consumers will be in a great position to take advantage of a buyers' market this summer."
Incentive spending averaged $3,583 per vehicle in the first 11 days of May, which would be a $241 increase from a year ago and a record for the month, according to J.D. Power, which provides data for LMC's forecast. J.D. Power said May would likely mark the 10th time in the past 11 months in which incentives amounted to at least 10 percent of sticker prices.
"While consumers will see substantial discounts this Memorial Day weekend, they are not expected to overcome the slowing demand in auto sales," Deirdre Borrego, J.D. Power's senior vice president of automotive data and analytics, said in a statement.
"Continued elevated incentives reflect the challenges of balancing record levels of inventory and are likely to remain elevated unless production is adjusted to meet consumer demand."
The next four days will be crucial for dealerships that are in danger of missing their targets for the month. Last year, the Friday through Monday of Memorial Day weekend accounted for more than 20 percent of the month's retail volume, J.D. Power said.
Automakers are scheduled to report May sales on Thursday, June 1. Through April, U.S. sales were 2.4 percent short of last year's pace, endangering a streak of annual growth that has stretched for seven years.
Retail sales are expected to be 1.2 percent higher in May, J.D. Power said, while fleet deliveries are estimated to fall 1.8 percent.
KBB analyst Tim Fleming said declining residual values are contributing to slowing sales by making subvented lease deals less appealing. "In recent months, leasing appears to be reaching its peak," Fleming said.
General Motors is expected to gain the most market share in May, while Fiat Chrysler Automobiles and Hyundai-Kia are projected to lose share, according to KBB and Edmunds. The estimates for other automakers are mixed, though none is expected to gain or lose more than 0.3 percentage points of share.

GM’s May total sales were 237,364 vehicles, down about 1 percent from last year.
On a brand level, Buick’s U.S. retail sales in May were up 12 percent, while retail sales at Cadillac and Chevrolet were up 10 percent and less than 1 percent, respectively.
In May, GM crossovers were up 19 percent on a U.S. retail sales basis compared to last year. This strong performance was carried across all GM’s U.S. brands:

GMC dealers will begin delivering the all-new Terrain compact crossover in late summer and Buick dealers will roll out the new Enclave midsize crossover in the fall.
Other May Sales Highlights (vs. 2016)
- According to J.D Power PIN estimates, GM’s incentive spending as a percentage of average transaction prices (ATP) was 11.6 percent in May. That is equal to the industry average and lower than our 2016 calendar year average, and lower than any domestic and many Asian competitors.

- ATPs were $35,283, up more than $640 per vehicle from April.

- Launch-related downtime in the second half will cut nearly 100,000 units from inventory.
- We will continue to monitor the marketplace and will make additional production adjustments if needed.

Method of Determining FCA US LLC’s Monthly Sales. FCA US’s reported vehicle sales represent unit sales of vehicles to retail customers, deliveries of vehicles to fleet customers and to others such as FCA US’s employees and retirees as well as vehicles used for marketing. Most of these reported sales reflect retail sales made by dealers out of their own inventory of vehicles previously purchased by them from FCA US. Reported vehicle units sales do not correspond to FCA US’s reported revenues, which are based on FCA US’s sale and delivery of vehicles, and typically recognized upon shipment to the dealer or end customer. As announced on July 26, 2016, FCA US has modified its methodology for monthly sales reporting as follows:
- Sales to retail customers by dealers in the U.S. are derived from the New Vehicle Delivery Report (“NVDR”) system and are determined as the sum of (A) all sales recorded by dealers during the month net of all unwound transactions recorded to the end of that month (whether the original sale was recorded in the current month or any prior month); plus (B) all sales of vehicles during that month attributable to past unwinds that had previously been reversed in determining monthly sales (in the current or prior months).
- Fleet sales are recorded upon the shipment of the vehicle by FCA US to the customer or end user.
- Other retail sales are recorded either (A) when the sale is recorded in the NVDR system (for sales by dealers in Puerto Rico and limited sales made through distributors that submit NVDRs in the same manner as for sales by U.S. dealers) or (B) upon receipt of a similar delivery notification (for vehicles for which NVDRs are not entered such as vehicles for FCA employees).
