For the twelve months ended December 31, 2024, revenue increased 3% to $30.5 billion. Net income attributable to common stockholders was $918.9 million compared to $1.05 billion in the prior year period, and related earnings per share was $13.74 compared to $15.50 in the prior year period.

Retail Automotive Dealerships

For the three months ended December 31, 2024, total new units delivered increased 11% and used units delivered decreased 6%. Gross profit per new vehicle retailed improved $74 sequentially from the third quarter of 2024.

During 2024, the Company transitioned its U.K. based CarShop locations to Sytner Select dealerships to be more closely aligned with existing franchised dealerships and focus on retailing premium branded vehicles to better leverage inventory and cost and improve gross margins, among other benefits. As a result, the Sytner Select dealerships sell fewer units per location, which contributed to the 6% decline in used vehicles retailed during the fourth quarter. However, excluding the performance of the U.K. Sytner Select dealerships in both periods, used vehicles retailed increased 8%. Same-store used retail units decreased 6% but increased 3% when excluding the U.K. Sytner Select dealerships. Total retail automotive revenue increased 9% to $6.7 billion and increased 5% on a same-store basis. Service and parts revenue increased 13% to a fourth quarter record of $770.5 million and increased 7% on a same-store basis. Total retail automotive gross profit increased 7% to $1.1 billion.
