Key Terms
non-GAAP, same store, floorplan notes payable, adjusted SG&A expenses, +2 more
6 terms
non-GAAP financial
"Current quarter adjusted net income from continuing operations (a non-GAAP measure) was $104.0 million"
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.
same store financial
"First Quarter 2026 Key Performance Metrics (year-over-year comparable period basis) | Consolidated | Same Store (a non-GAAP measure)"
Same store describes sales or revenue measured only at locations or outlets that have been open for a specified prior period, excluding new openings and closed units so performance is compared on an “apples-to-apples” basis. Investors use same-store figures to see whether existing operations are growing or shrinking on their own, like checking whether a long-standing shop is selling more or fewer items this year without the distortion of added or removed stores.
floorplan notes payable financial
"Floorplan notes payable, net (1) | $ | 2,239.0"
adjusted SG&A expenses financial
"Adjusted SG&A expenses (a non-GAAP measure) as a % of GP | 72.7%"
Adjusted SG&A expenses are a company’s selling, general and administrative costs (like salaries, rent, marketing and office expenses) after removing one‑time or unusual items that management says mask the business’s regular running costs. Investors care because this “cleaned up” number aims to show the ongoing cost of running the business—like looking at a car’s normal fuel use after ignoring a single long detour—so it helps compare profitability and efficiency across periods and companies.
constant currency financial
"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. This includes evaluating measures such as ... constant currency."
Constant currency is a way of measuring financial results that removes the effects of changes in currency exchange rates. It allows for a clearer comparison of a company's performance over time by showing what the numbers would look like if exchange rates had stayed the same. This helps investors understand whether growth comes from actual business improvements or just currency fluctuations.
floorplan assistance financial
"Floorplan assistance is included within New vehicle retail Gross profit above and New vehicle retail Cost of sales"

Group 1 Automotive Reports First Quarter 2026 Financial Results
•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.
•Repurchased approximately 1.7% of the Company’s outstanding common shares in first quarter of 2026
HOUSTON, TX, April 30, 2026 — 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.
