Welcome to our dedicated page for AUTONATION SEC filings (Ticker: AN), a comprehensive resource for investors and traders seeking official regulatory documents including 10-K annual reports, 10-Q quarterly earnings, 8-K material events, and insider trading forms.
AutoNation, Inc. filings document the regulatory record of a NYSE-listed automotive retailer with common stock traded under the symbol AN. Its 8-K reports furnish operating results for quarterly and annual periods, including disclosures tied to new and used vehicle sales, After-Sales, Customer Financial Services and AutoNation Finance.
AutoNation's SEC materials also cover capital-structure and governance matters. Recent filings describe board-authorized common stock repurchase programs, senior note issuance under shelf registration, credit and floorplan financing relationships, and proxy disclosures for director elections, executive compensation and shareholder voting matters.
AutoNation, Inc. files its annual report describing one of the largest U.S. auto retailers, operating 323 new-vehicle franchises from 245 stores plus 59 other locations as of December 31, 2025. The company sells 30 brands and generated $13,501.3 million in new vehicle revenue from 259,264 retail units, with Domestic, Import, and Premium Luxury segments and a captive lender, AutoNation Finance.
Operations span 271 retail stores across 19 states, with Florida, Texas, and California contributing most revenue. Strategy centers on omnichannel retail, expanding higher-margin After-Sales services, growing AutoNation Finance, and leveraging scale for efficiency and capital allocation, including acquisitions and share or debt repurchases.
The filing details extensive regulatory, environmental, and cybersecurity exposure, including a 2024 CDK systems outage, and highlights reliance on major manufacturers and third-party suppliers. AutoNation reports substantial leverage with $4.0 billion of non-vehicle long-term debt, $3.8 billion of vehicle floorplan financing, and $1.9 billion of non-recourse debt, and records non-cash goodwill impairment of $65.3 million and franchise rights impairments of $93.7 million and $12.5 million in recent years.
Cascade Investment, L.L.C. and William H. Gates III report beneficial ownership of 7,062,629 AutoNation common shares, representing 20.1% of the outstanding stock. This percentage is calculated using 35,200,000 shares outstanding as of December 31, 2025, as disclosed by AutoNation.
The filing switches their disclosure from a passive Schedule 13G to a Schedule 13D under Rule 13d-1(f) because their ownership percentage has risen above 20%. The number of shares they hold has not changed since their prior 13G; the higher percentage results solely from AutoNation’s share repurchase program reducing shares outstanding.
The reporting persons state they hold the shares for investment purposes and may increase or decrease their position over time based on market conditions, developments at AutoNation, and their investment policies. They indicate no current plans or proposals related to major corporate actions beyond this investment posture.
