Key Terms

non-gaap, gross margin, finance and insurance ("f&i"), selling, general and administrative ("sg&a"), +1 more

5 terms

non-gaap financial

"adjusted diluted earnings per common share from continuing operations (a non-GAAP measure) of $8.66"

Non-GAAP refers to financial measures that companies use to show their earnings or performance without including certain expenses or income that are often added back to give a different picture. It matters because it can make a company's results look better or more favorable, but it may also hide important costs, so investors need to look at both GAAP (official rules) and non-GAAP numbers to get a full understanding.

gross margin financial

"we saw a key bright spot in aftersales, with parts and service gross margin reaching a new quarterly high"

Gross margin is the difference between how much money a company makes from selling its products and how much it costs to produce them, expressed as a percentage of sales. It shows how efficiently a company is turning sales into profit before other expenses like marketing or salaries. Higher gross margin means the company keeps more money from each sale, which is a good sign of financial health.

finance and insurance ("f&i") financial

"Finance and Insurance ("F&I") revenues | $215.9M | (4.6) %"

Finance and insurance ("F&I") is the part of a business—most commonly in vehicle retailing—that arranges customer financing, leases and sells related protection products like extended warranties and insurance. Investors watch F&I because it often generates steady, high-margin add-on revenue and exposes a company to credit, regulatory and claims risks; think of it as the checkout counter where big, repeatable profits or losses are decided after the sale.

selling, general and administrative ("sg&a") financial

"Selling, General and Administrative ("SG&A") expenses as a % of GP | 68.4 %"

Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) are the routine business costs a company incurs to run its operations and sell its products or services — things like salaries for office staff, marketing, rent, utilities and legal fees. Investors watch SG&A because it reduces the money available as profit; rising or unusually high SG&A can signal poor cost control, while steady or falling SG&A relative to sales can indicate improving efficiency, much like trimming household bills frees up more income for savings.

rule 10b5-1 trading plans regulatory

"based on market conditions, legal requirements and other corporate considerations in the open market, pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 trading plans"

Rule 10b5-1 trading plans are written, pre-arranged instructions that allow company insiders (such as executives or directors) to automatically buy or sell their company's stock at specified times or under set conditions, like a standing instruction or automated thermostat for trades. They matter to investors because these plans provide a legal defense against insider‑trading accusations and create predictable insider trading patterns that can help signal whether sales are routine portfolio management or potentially meaningful to the company’s outlook.

• Current quarter diluted earnings per common share from continuing operations of $10.82 and current quarter adjusted diluted earnings per common share from continuing operations (a non-GAAP measure) of $8.66
• Record quarterly U.K. gross profits of $230.6 million, a 6.3% increase over the comparable prior year quarter, driven by double digit same store parts and service and F&I growth.

HOUSTON, April 30, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Group 1 Automotive, Inc. (NYSE: GPI) ("Group 1" or the "Company"), a Fortune 250 automotive retailer with 253 dealerships located in the U.S. and U.K., today reported financial results for the first quarter of 2026 ("current quarter").

"The U.K. performed well in the first quarter of 2026," said Daryl Kenningham, Group 1's President and Chief Executive Officer. "Our U.K. business generated record revenues across nearly all major business lines and achieved record gross profit in used vehicles and parts and service. In the U.S., we saw a key bright spot in aftersales, with parts and service gross margin reaching a new quarterly high. Parts and service continues to be a key differentiator for us and our strength during this quarter is a testament to our relentless focus on operational excellence."

"The broader macro environment remains dynamic and challenging, with persistently high interest rates and elevated vehicle and gasoline prices weighing on affordability. To address these challenges, we have initiated several cost actions in the U.S. and U.K., including staffing reductions and discretionary expense reductions across our business."

Reconciliations for financial results, non-GAAP metrics and diluted earnings per common share between continuing and discontinued operations are included in the accompanying financial tables.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES, SAME STORE DATA, AND OTHER DATA

In addition to evaluating the financial condition and results of our operations in accordance with U.S. GAAP, from time to time our management evaluates and analyzes results and any impact on the Company of strategic decisions and actions relating to, among other things, cost reduction, growth, profitability improvement initiatives, and other events outside of normal, or "core," business and operations, by considering alternative financial measures not prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. In our evaluation of results from time to time, we exclude items that do not arise directly from core operations, such as non-cash asset impairment charges, out-of-period adjustments, legal matters, gains and losses on dealership franchise or real estate transactions, and catastrophic events, such as hailstorms, hurricanes and snow storms. Because these non-core charges and gains materially affect the Company's financial condition or results in the specific period in which they are recognized, management also evaluates, and makes resource allocation and performance evaluation decisions based on, the related non-GAAP measures excluding such items. This includes evaluating measures such as adjusted selling, general and administrative expenses, adjusted net income, adjusted diluted earnings per share, and constant currency. These adjusted measures are not measures of financial performance under U.S. GAAP, but are instead considered non-GAAP financial performance measures. Non-GAAP measures do not have definitions under U.S. GAAP and may be defined differently by, and not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by, other companies. As a result, any non-GAAP financial measures considered and evaluated by management are reviewed in conjunction with a review of the most directly comparable measures calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP. We caution investors not to place undue reliance on such non-GAAP measures, but also to consider them with the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measures.

In addition to using such non-GAAP measures to evaluate results in a specific period, management believes that such measures may provide more complete and consistent comparisons of operational performance on a period-over-period historical basis and a better indication of expected future trends. Our management also uses these adjusted measures in conjunction with U.S. GAAP financial measures to assess our business, including communication with our Board of Directors, investors, and industry analysts concerning financial performance. We disclose these non-GAAP measures, and the related reconciliations, because we believe investors use these metrics in evaluating longer-term period-over-period performance, and to allow investors to better understand and evaluate the information used by management to assess operating performance. The exclusion of certain expenses in the calculation of non-GAAP financial measures should not be construed as an inference that these costs are unusual or infrequent. We anticipate excluding these expenses in the future presentation of our non-GAAP financial measures.

In addition, we evaluate our results of operations on both an as reported and a constant currency basis. The constant currency presentation, which is a non-GAAP measure, excludes the impact of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. We believe providing constant currency information provides valuable supplemental information regarding our underlying business and results of operations, consistent with how we evaluate our performance. We calculate constant currency percentages by converting our current period reported results for entities reporting in currencies other than U.S. dollars using comparative period exchange rates rather than the actual exchange rates in effect during the respective periods. The constant currency performance measures should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, the measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The Same Store amounts presented include the results of dealerships for the identical months in each period presented in comparison, commencing with the first full month in which the dealership was owned by us and, in the case of dispositions, ending with the last full month it was owned by us. Same Store results also include the activities of our corporate headquarters.

Certain amounts in the financial statements may not compute due to rounding. All computations have been calculated using unrounded amounts for all periods presented.
