Insights

Equity Research Analyst

TL;DR – Solid top-line and EPS beat, but cash burn and inventory build temper enthusiasm.

Revenue growth across all major lines—especially used RVs (+19%) and F&I (+12%)—drove a 37% jump in operating income. Margin expansion came despite heavier SG&A, helped by lower floor-plan and senior debt interest. EPS of $0.48 nearly doubles prior-year quarter and supports the steady $0.125 dividend (6% yield at recent prices).

However, working-capital swings turned $85 m positive OCF last year into a $45 m outflow, cutting cash by $90 m YTD while inventory sits at $2.06 bn. Floor-plan borrowings climbed 10% to fund this build, lifting total current liabilities 21%. Long-term leverage is unchanged but net debt is higher.

Net: results are incrementally positive for sentiment, yet sustainability hinges on converting inventory to cash during the seasonally stronger second half.

Credit Analyst

TL;DR – Leverage stable but liquidity weakening; inventory risk increasing.

Debt metrics remain steady—long-term debt at $1.48 bn and no revolver balance—yet cash dropped 43% to $118 m. Floor-plan notes rose to $1.28 bn, pushing current ratio to 1.26×. YTD FCF is deeply negative (≈$225 m after capex and acquisitions), funded largely via floor-plan and asset sales.

Interest coverage improved to 2.5× (EBIT/interest) on stronger EBIT and lower rates, offering bondholders a modest cushion. The company’s quarterly dividend and ongoing M&A may strain liquidity if demand softens, especially with elevated inventories and macro headwinds cited in the risk section.

I assign a neutral outlook: credit profile is not deteriorating sharply, but tighter cash and higher working-capital needs reduce flexibility.

CONDENSED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1. INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Basis of Presentation

These Consolidated Financial Statements contain unaudited information as of June 30, 2025, and for the three and

six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024. The unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared

pursuant to the rules and regulations for reporting on Form 10-Q. Accordingly, certain disclosures required by

accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for annual financial statements are not

included herein. In management’s opinion, these unaudited financial statements reflect all adjustments (which

include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the information when read in

conjunction with our 2024 audited Consolidated Financial Statements and the related notes thereto. The financial

information as of December 31, 2024, is derived from our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on

February 24, 2025. The results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the

results to be expected for the full year.

Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications of amounts previously reported have been made to the accompanying Consolidated

Financial Statements to maintain consistency and comparability between periods presented. Within our financing

operations income, we disaggregated our lease income out of our previously reported interest, fee, and lease

income to be its own separately presented line item, as well as revised the related lease depreciation and

amortization to now be reported as lease costs, reclassifying amounts previously reported net within lease income.

Correction of an Error

In the three months ended March 31, 2025, we identified an immaterial error related to interest and fee income

recognition in our previously issued financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024. As a result,

retained earnings and finance receivables were overstated, and prepaid income taxes were understated.

In accordance with ASC 250, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections, we corrected this error by retrospectively

restating the affected prior periods in this Form 10-Q.

The following tables summarize the impact of the correction on our Consolidated Financial Statements:

	December 31, 2024

NOTE 4. FINANCE RECEIVABLES

Interest income on finance receivables is recognized based on the contractual terms of each receivable and is

accrued until repayment, reaching non-accrual status, charge-off, or repossession. Direct costs associated with

originations are capitalized and expensed as an offset to interest income when recognized on the receivables.

The balances of finance receivables are made up of loans and finance leases secured by the related vehicles. More

than 99% of the portfolio is aged less than 60 days past due with less than 1% on non-accrual status.

Company-Sponsored Defined Benefit Pension Plan

We maintain two company-sponsored defined benefit plans applicable to a portion of salaried past and present

team members, which are closed to future accrual.

Net Periodic (Benefit) Cost

Interest cost represents the increase in the projected benefit obligation, which is a discounted amount, due to the

passage of time. The expected return on plan assets reflects the computed amount of current-year earnings from

the investment of plan assets using an estimated long-term rate of return.

shares withheld as part of the vesting of RSUs.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 14

On March 4, 2025, our Board approved an additional $350 million repurchase authorization of our common stock.

This authorization is in addition to the amount previously authorized by the Board for repurchase. Share

repurchases under our authorization were as follows:

	Repurchases Occurring in 2025				Cumulative Repurchases as of June 30, 2025
	Shares		Average Price1		Shares		Average Price
Share Repurchase Authorization	790,775		$316.44		9,067,788		$201.95

1Price excludes excise taxes imposed under the Inflation Reduction Act of $1.4 million for the six months ended June 30,

2025.

As of June 30, 2025, we had $568.8 million available for repurchases pursuant to our share repurchase

authorizations from our Board in 2025 and prior years.

In addition, during 2025, we repurchased 36,466 shares at an average price of $357.26 per share, for a total of

$13.0 million, related to tax withholding associated with the vesting of RSUs. The repurchase of shares related to

tax withholding associated with stock awards does not reduce the number of shares available for repurchase as

approved by our Board.

NOTE 11. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Factors used in determining the fair value of our financial assets and liabilities are summarized into three broad

categories:

•Level 1 - quoted prices in active markets for identical securities;

•Level 2 - other significant observable inputs, including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates,

prepayment spreads, credit risk; and

•Level 3 - significant unobservable inputs, including our own assumptions in determining fair value.

We determined the carrying value of cash, restricted cash, cash equivalents, accounts receivable, trade payables,

accrued liabilities, finance receivables, and short-term borrowings approximate their fair values because of the

nature of their terms and current market rates of these instruments. We believe the carrying value of our variable

rate debt approximates fair value.

We have money market securities, which include restricted cash from collections on finance receivables, recorded

as a component of Cash, restricted cash, and cash equivalents in our Consolidated Balance Sheets, as well as

restricted cash on deposit in reserve accounts, recorded as a component of Other non-current assets in our

Consolidated Balance Sheets. These money market securities consist of highly liquid investments with original

maturities of three months or less and are classified as Level 1.

We have investments consisting of equity securities, available for sale debt securities, and equity method

investments with a fair value election. We calculated the estimated fair value of the equity securities, equity method

investments, and U.S. Treasury debt securities using quoted market prices (Level 1). The fair value of corporate and

municipal debt securities are measured using observable Level 2 market expectations at each measurement date.

See Note 6 – Investments.

We have fixed rate debt primarily consisting of amounts outstanding under our senior notes, non-recourse notes

payable, and real estate mortgages. We calculated the estimated fair value of the senior notes using quoted prices

for the identical liability (Level 1). The fair value of non-recourse notes payable are measured using observable

Level 2 market expectations at each measurement date. The calculated estimated fair values of the fixed rate real

estate mortgages and finance lease liabilities use a discounted cash flow methodology with estimated current

interest rates based on a similar risk profile and duration (Level 2). The fixed cash flows are discounted and

summed to compute the fair value of the debt.

We have derivative instruments consisting of an offsetting set of interest rate caps. The fair value of derivative

assets and liabilities are measured using observable Level 2 market expectations at each measurement date and is

recorded as other current assets, current liabilities and other long-term liabilities in the Consolidated Balance

Sheets.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 15

Table of Contents

Nonfinancial assets such as goodwill, franchise value, or other long-lived assets are measured and recorded at fair

value during a business combination or when there is an indicator of impairment. We evaluate our goodwill and

franchise value using a qualitative assessment process. If the qualitative factors determine that it is more likely than

not that the carrying value exceeds the fair value, we would further evaluate for potential impairment using a

quantitative assessment. The quantitative assessment estimates fair values using unobservable (Level 3) inputs by

discounting expected future cash flows of the store for franchise value, or reporting unit for goodwill. The forecasted

cash flows contain inherent uncertainties, including significant estimates and assumptions related to growth rates,

margins, working capital requirements, and cost of capital, for which we utilize certain market participant-based

assumptions we believe to be reasonable. We estimate the value of other long-lived assets that are recorded at fair

value on a non-recurring basis on a market valuation approach. We use prices and other relevant information

generated primarily by recent market transactions involving similar or comparable assets, as well as our historical

experience in divestitures, acquisitions and real estate transactions. Additionally, we may use a cost valuation

approach to value long-lived assets when a market valuation approach is unavailable. Under this approach, we

determine the cost to replace the service capacity of an asset, adjusted for physical and economic obsolescence.

When available, we use valuation inputs from independent valuation experts, such as real estate appraisers and

brokers, to corroborate our estimates of fair value. Real estate appraisers’ and brokers’ valuations are typically

developed using one or more valuation techniques including market, income and replacement cost approaches.

Because these valuations contain unobservable inputs, we classified the measurement of fair value of long-lived

assets as Level 3.

There were no changes to our valuation techniques during the six-month period ended June 30, 2025.

Below are our assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value:

•In March 2025, Elk Grove Subaru in California.

•In June 2025, Collierville Mercedes-Benz in Tennessee.

•In June 2025, Jackson Mercedes-Benz in Mississippi.

The acquisitions were accounted for as business combinations under the acquisition method of accounting. The

results of operations of the acquired stores are included in our Consolidated Financial Statements from the date of

acquisition.

Revenue and operating income contributed by the 2025 acquisitions subsequent to the date of acquisition were as

follows (in millions):

Six Months Ended June 30,	2025
Revenue	$61.9
Operating income	3.5

The following tables summarize the consideration paid for the 2025 acquisitions and the PPA for identified assets

acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date:

Total net assets acquired and liabilities assumed	$278.6

The PPA for the 2025 acquisitions is preliminary, as we have not obtained and evaluated all of the detailed

information necessary to finalize the opening balance sheet amounts in all respects. We recorded the PPA based

upon information that is currently available and recorded unallocated items as a component of Other non-current

assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

We expect all of the goodwill related to the acquisitions in 2025 to be deductible for U.S. federal income tax

purposes.

In the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2025, we recorded $0.1 million and $0.3 million in acquisition-

related expenses as a component of SG&A expense. Comparatively, we recorded $1.8 million and $9.5 million of

acquisition-related expenses in the same periods of 2024.

The following unaudited pro forma summary presents consolidated information as if all acquisitions in the three and

six-month periods ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 had occurred on January 1, 2024:

Diluted EPS attributable to Lithia Motors, Inc. common stockholders	10.02		8.06		18.10		14.12

These amounts have been calculated by applying our accounting policies and estimates. The results of the acquired

stores have been adjusted to reflect the following: depreciation on a straight-line basis over the expected lives for

property and equipment, accounting for inventory on a specific identification method, and recognition of interest

expense for real estate financing related to stores where we purchased the facility. No nonrecurring proforma

adjustments directly attributable to the acquisitions are included in the reported proforma revenues and earnings.

NOTE 13. EARNINGS PER SHARE

We calculate basic EPS by dividing net income attributable to Lithia Motors, Inc. by the weighted average number of

common shares outstanding for the period, including vested RSU awards. Diluted EPS is calculated by dividing net

income attributable to Lithia Motors, Inc. by the weighted average number of shares outstanding, adjusted for the

dilutive effect of unvested RSU awards and employee stock purchases.

The following is a reconciliation of net income attributable to Lithia Motors, Inc. and weighted average shares used

for our basic EPS and diluted EPS:

NOTE 15. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09 related to improvements to income tax disclosures. The

amendments in this update require enhanced jurisdictional and other disaggregated disclosures for the effective tax

rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. The amendments in this update are effective for annual periods beginning

after December 15, 2024. We plan to adopt this pronouncement and make the necessary updates to our

disclosures for the year ending December 31, 2025, and, aside from these disclosure changes, we do not expect

the amendments to have a material effect on our financial statements.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03 related to the disaggregation of certain income statement

expenses. The amendments in this update require public entities to disclose incremental information related to

Table of Contents

strive for diversification in our products, services, brands, and geographic locations to reduce dependence on any

one manufacturer, reduce susceptibility to changing consumer preferences, manage market risk and maintain

profitability. Our diversification, along with our operating structure, provides a resilient and nimble business model.

We seek to provide customers with a seamless, blended online and physical retail experience, broad selection, and

access to specialized expertise and knowledge. Our comprehensive network provides convenient touch points for

customers and provides services throughout the vehicle life cycle. We seek to increase market share and optimize

profitability by focusing on the consumer experience and applying proprietary performance measurement systems

fueled by data science. Our Driveway and GreenCars brands and online customer portal complement our in-store

experiences in the United States and provide convenient, simple, and transparent platforms that serve as our e-

commerce home solutions and allow us to deliver differentiated, proprietary digital experiences. Enhancing our

business, our captive auto financing division allows us to provide financing solutions for customers and diversify our

business model with adjacent products.

Our long-term strategy to create value for our customers, team members and shareholders includes the following

elements:

Driving operational excellence, innovation and diversification

LAD builds magnetic customer loyalty across our 448 stores, our Driveway and GreenCars e-commerce platforms,

and our entire omnichannel ecosystem by focusing on convenient and transparent experiences supported by

proprietary data science. Our entrepreneurial model that emphasizes personal accountability for our team powers

efficient operations and allows dynamic responsiveness to each of our local markets. Our best-in-class performance

management reporting provides the foundation to enable high-performing teams to drive our platform’s full potential.

Investments across our ecosystem built a framework that is responsive to evolving consumer preferences, providing

a foundation that supports our current business and our ongoing expansion. These investments, particularly in our

digital strategies, connect our experienced, knowledgeable team members with our expansive inventory and

physical network of stores to ensure we are agile and adaptable. Additionally, we systematically explore and invest

in transformative adjacencies that are synergistic and complementary to our existing business, such as our captive

auto finance and fleet management offerings.

These investments support the foundational elements of our strategy. We seek to create durable customer loyalty in

our stores and our digital platforms, such as our My Driveway customer portal. These experiences and offerings,

backed by our extensive physical network, broad geographic reach, and customized digital offerings, empower our

people to provide transparent, flexible, and simple retail experiences.

Our performance-based culture is geared toward an incentive-based compensation structure for a majority of our

personnel. We develop pay plans that measure factors such as customer satisfaction, profitability, and individual

performance metrics. These plans reward team members for creating customer loyalty, achieving store potential,

developing high-performing talent, meeting and exceeding manufacturer requirements, and living our core values.

We centralize many administrative functions to drive efficiencies and streamline store-level operations. These

efficiencies allow our local managers to focus on serving customers to increase revenues and gross profit. Our

operations are supported by regional and corporate management, as well as dedicated training and personnel

development programs which allow us to share best practices across our network and develop talent.

Growth through acquisition and network optimization

Our acquisition growth strategy has diversified our business and been financially and culturally successful. Our

disciplined approach focuses on acquiring new vehicle franchises, which operate in markets ranging from mid-sized

regional markets to metropolitan markets. Acquisition of these businesses increases our proximity to consumers

throughout North America and the United Kingdom. While we target annual after tax return of more than 15% for our

acquisitions, we have averaged over a 25% return by the third year of ownership due to a disciplined approach

focusing on accretive, cash flow positive targets at reasonable valuations. In addition to being financially accretive,

acquisitions aim to drive network growth that improves our ability to serve customers through vast selection, greater

density, easy access, and the ability to leverage national branding and advertising.

As we focus on expanding our physical network of stores, one of the criteria we evaluate is a valuation multiple

between 3x to 6x of investment in intangibles to estimated annualized adjusted EBITDA, with various factors

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS 22

Table of Contents

including location, ability to expand our network and talent considered in determining value. We also target an

investment in intangibles as a percentage of annualized revenues in the range of 15% to 30%.

We regularly optimize and balance our network through strategic divestitures to ensure continued high performance.

We believe our disciplined approach provides us with attractive acquisition opportunities and expanded coast-to-

coast coverage.

Thoughtful capital allocation

We manage our liquidity and available cash to support our long-term plan focused on growth through acquisitions

and investments in our existing business, technology and adjacencies that expand and diversify our business

model. In the current market of elevated acquisition pricing, we have adjusted our free cash flow deployment

strategy. Under current conditions, including recent trends in our stock price, we may consider repurchases as a

more attractive use of funds than acquisitions. Our current free cash flow deployment strategy includes an allocation

of 25% to 35% investment in acquisitions, 25% investment in capital expenditures, innovation, and diversification

and 40% to 50% in shareholder return in the form of dividends and share repurchases based on current valuation

trends in acquisitions relative to stock price performance. During the first six months of 2025, we utilized $148.8

million for capital expenditures investing in our existing business, paid $28.2 million in dividends, and $263.3 million

in share repurchases. As of June 30, 2025, we had available liquidity of approximately $1.3 billion, which was

comprised of $202.8 million in unrestricted cash, $52.1 million in marketable securities, and $1.0 billion availability

on our credit facilities.

Financial Performance

We experienced growth of revenue in 2025 compared to 2024, primarily driven by increases in volume related to

acquisitions. Total gross profit grew in 2025 compared to 2024, primarily driven by acquisition growth and supported

by same store increases in aftersales and F&I. New vehicle retail gross profit decreased compared to 2024 due to

continued normalization of margins. Net income grew in 2025 compared to 2024, primarily as a result of our

increase in total gross profit and financing operations, while remaining diligent in managing SG&A costs, reducing

our total SG&A as a % of gross profit.

Same Store Operating Data

We believe that same store comparisons are an important indicator of our financial performance. Same store

measures demonstrate our ability to grow revenues in our existing locations. As a result, same store measures have

been integrated into the discussion below.

Same store measures reflect results for stores that were operating in each comparison period and only include the

months when operations occurred in both periods. For example, a store acquired in May 2024 would be included in

same store operating data beginning in June 2025, after its first complete comparable month of operation. The

second quarter operating results for the same store comparisons would include results for that store in only the

month of June for both comparable periods.

New Retail Vehicles

We believe that our new vehicle retail sales create incremental profit opportunities through certain manufacturer

incentive programs, arranging of third-party financing, vehicle service and insurance contracts, future resale of used

vehicles acquired through trade-in, and aftersales. Our leaders in each market continue to adapt to changing

conditions, respond to customer needs and manage inventory availability and selection.

Q2 2025 vs. Q2 2024

New vehicle revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2025 increased 2.2% compared to the same period of

2024, driven by same store performance. Same store new vehicle revenue increased 2.0% due to an increase in

unit volume of 2.0%.

Same store new vehicle gross profit per unit decreased 8.1%, driven by a decrease in new vehicle gross profit

margins of 50 bps. Total same store new vehicle gross profit per unit, which includes the finance and insurance

revenue increased 3.6% due to an increase in unit volume of 2.5% and an increase in average selling prices of

1.0%.

Same store new vehicle retail gross profit per unit decreased 10.1%, driven by a decrease in new vehicle retail

gross profit margins of 80 bps. Total same store new vehicle retail gross profit per unit, which includes the finance

and insurance revenue generated from the sales of new retail vehicles, decreased $303 to $5,231.

Used Retail Vehicles

Used vehicle retail sales are a strategic focus for organic growth. We offer three categories of used vehicles:

manufacturer certified pre-owned (CPO) vehicles; core vehicles, or late-model vehicles with lower mileage; and

value autos, or vehicles with over 80,000 miles. We continue to focus on procuring vehicles across the full spectrum

of the addressable used vehicle market to provide customers with a wide selection meeting all levels of affordability,

driving increased used vehicle unit volumes. Our used vehicle operations provide an opportunity to generate sales

to customers unable or unwilling to purchase a new vehicle, sell brands other than the store’s new vehicle

franchise(s) and increase sales from finance and insurance and aftersales.

Q2 2025 vs. Q2 2024

Used vehicle revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2025 increased 3.6% compared to the same period of

2024 driven by same store performance and supported by acquisition activity. On a same store basis, used vehicle

revenue increased 6.5% due to an increase in unit volume of 3.9% and an increase in average selling prices of

2.5%.

Total same store used vehicle gross profit per unit, which includes the finance and insurance revenue generated

from the sales of retail used vehicles, decreased $18 to $3,486.

YTD 2025 vs. YTD 2024

Used vehicle retail revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2025 increased 3.9% compared to the same period

of 2024 driven by same store performance and supported by acquisition activity. On a same store basis, used

vehicle retail sales increased 2.7% due to an increase in unit volume of 1.7% and an increase in average selling

prices of 1.1%. Total same store used vehicle retail gross profit per unit, which includes the finance and insurance

revenue generated from the sales of used retail vehicles, increased $25 to $3,508.

Finance and Insurance

We believe that arranging vehicle financing is an important part of our ability to sell vehicles, and we attempt to

arrange financing for every vehicle we sell. We also offer related products such as extended warranties, insurance

contracts and vehicle and theft protection which promotes continued engagement with the consumer throughout the

ownership lifecycle.

Q2 2025 vs. Q2 2024

Total finance and insurance income increased 3.6% in the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the

same period of 2024, driven by same store performance and supported by acquisition activity. Same store finance

YTD 2025 vs. YTD 2024

Total finance and insurance income increased 5.2% in the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the same

period of 2024, driven by same store performance and supported by acquisition activity. Same store finance and

insurance revenues increased 3.8%. On a same store basis, our finance and insurance revenue per retail unit

increased $31 to $1,860.

Aftersales

We provide automotive repair and maintenance services for customers for the new vehicle brands sold by our

stores, as well as service and repairs for most other makes and models. These aftersales services are an integral

part of our customer retention and the largest contributor to our overall profitability. Earnings from aftersales

continue to prove to be more resilient during economic downturns, when owners tend to repair their existing

vehicles rather than buy new vehicles. We believe the increased number of units in operation will continue to benefit

our aftersales revenue in the coming years as more late-model vehicles age, necessitating repairs and

maintenance.

Q2 2025 vs. Q2 2024

Our aftersales revenue increased 7.6% in the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the same period of

2024, driven by same store performance and supported by acquisition activity.

We focus on retaining customers by offering competitively-priced routine maintenance and through our marketing

efforts. Customer pay revenue accounted for the largest share of our same-store aftersales revenue, representing

56.3% of the total.

Same store aftersales gross profit increased 11.9%. This increase was primarily due to increased volumes of

warranty and customer pay transactions. Overall same store aftersales gross margins increased 180 bps, primarily

as a result of increased customer pay gross margin of 260 bps.

YTD 2025 vs. YTD 2024

Our aftersales revenue increased 7.5% in the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the same period of

2024, driven by same store performance and supported by acquisition activity. Same store warranty revenues saw a

20.0% increase compared to the prior year.

Same store aftersales gross profit increased 9.7%. This increase was primarily due to increased volumes of

warranty transactions. Overall same store aftersales gross margins increased 220 bps, primarily as a result of

increased warranty gross margins of 120 bps and increase customer pay margins of 320 bps.

Financing Operations

In the United States, Financing Operations is a captive lender, originating loans only from our stores and Driveway.

In Canada, Financing Operations originates loans and leases from both our Canadian stores and third-party

dealerships. In the United Kingdom, Financing Operations is related to our fleet funding and management division.

These product offerings add diversity to the business model and provide an opportunity to capture additional profits,

cash flows, and sales while managing our reliance on third-party finance sources.

Financing Operations income reflects the interest and fee income generated by the portfolio of auto loan and

finance lease receivables, plus the lease income generated by our net investment in operating leases, less the

interest expense associated with the debt utilized to fund the lending, including internal capital, a provision for

estimated loan and lease losses, depreciation on vehicles leased via operating leases, and directly-related

expenses.

vehicle is repossessed and liquidated, generally at wholesale auctions, on a trailing twelve month basis.

Q2 2025 vs. Q2 2024

Financing operations recorded higher income in the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the same

period of 2024, primarily due to the increased interest income resulting from the growth of the portfolio and a

decreased cost of funds, which collectively expanded total interest margin to 4.6%.

Loan originations increased in the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the same period of 2024, and

our penetration rate increased due to increased engagement with our stores. The weighted average contract rate of

loans originated in the three months ended June 30, 2025 decreased to 8.7%, compared with 9.9% in the same

period of 2024, primarily due to our maintaining competitive pricing following Federal Reserve rate cuts. The

decrease in annualized net charge-offs of past due accounts as a percentage of ending managed receivables

compared to the prior year reflects the increased credit quality of the portfolio as well as improved execution of our

collateral management team.

YTD 2025 vs. YTD 2024

Financing operations recorded higher income in the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the same period

of 2024, primarily due to increased interest income resulting from the growth of the portfolio and a decreased cost of

funds, resulting in an expansion of total interest margin to 4.6%.

The weighted average contract rate on loans originated in the six months ended June 30, 2025 decreased to 8.9%,

compared with 10.0% in the same period of 2024 as we decreased rates to maintain competitiveness following

Federal Reserve rate cuts. The decrease in provision expense as a percentage of receivables compared to the prior

year reflected the increased credit quality of the portfolio as well as a decrease in the percentage of ending

managed receivables constituted by the allowance for loan losses. Other financing operations expenses as a

percentage of average managed receivables was flat with the same period of 2024 despite significant portfolio

growth, reflecting improved operational performance and economies of scale.

Floor Plan Interest Expense and Floor Plan Assistance

Floor plan assistance is provided by manufacturers to support store financing of vehicle inventory and is recorded

as a component of vehicle gross profit when the specific vehicle is sold. However, because manufacturers provide

this assistance to offset inventory carrying costs, we believe a comparison of floor plan interest expense to floor

plan assistance is a useful measure of the efficiency of our vehicle sales relative to stocking levels.

Shown below are the details for carrying costs for vehicles net of floor plan assistance earned:

Q2 2025 vs. Q2 2024

Net vehicle carrying costs	$11.5		$33.8		$(22.3)		(66.0)

Floor plan interest expense decreased $21.6 million in the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the

same period of 2024 due to a decrease in interest rates and average new inventory levels.

YTD 2025 vs. YTD 2024

Net vehicle carrying costs	$29.5		$54.1		$(24.6)		(45.5)

Floor plan interest expense decreased $25.3 million in the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the same

period of 2024 due to a decrease in interest rates and average new inventory levels.

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and amortization is comprised of depreciation expense related to buildings, significant remodels or

improvements, furniture, tools, equipment, signage, and amortization of certain intangible assets, including

customer lists.

Acquisition activity contributed to the increases in depreciation and amortization in 2025 compared to 2024. We

acquired $79.4 million of depreciable property as part of our acquisition activity over the trailing twelve-months

ended June 30, 2025. For the six months ended June 30, 2025, we invested $148.8 million in capital expenditures.

These investments increased the amount of depreciation expense in the six months ended June 30, 2025. See the

discussion under Liquidity and Capital Resources for additional information.

Income Tax Provision

Our effective income tax rate was as follows:

	Six Months Ended June 30,
	2025		2024
Effective income tax rate	26.3%		24.2%
Effective income tax rate excluding non-core items 1	26.0%		25.3%

1See Non-GAAP Reconciliations for more details.

Our effective income tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to last year was negatively affected

by a decrease in general business credits, tax basis differences on divested assets, and an increase in valuation

allowance. Excluding non-core charges and acquired general business credits, we estimate our annual effective

income tax rate to be 26.6%.

Non-GAAP Reconciliations

Non-GAAP measures do not have definitions under GAAP and may be defined differently by and not comparable to

similarly titled measures used by other companies. As a result, we review any non-GAAP financial measures in

connection with a review of the most directly comparable measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. We

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS 33

caution you not to place undue reliance on such non-GAAP measures, but also to consider them with the most

directly comparable GAAP measures. We believe each of the non-GAAP financial measures below improves the

transparency of our disclosures, provides a meaningful presentation of our results from the core business

operations because they exclude items not related to our ongoing core business operations and other non-cash

items, and improves the period-to-period comparability of our results from the core business operations. We use

these measures in conjunction with GAAP financial measures to assess our business, including our compliance with

covenants in our credit facility and in communications with our Board concerning financial performance. These

measures should not be considered an alternative to GAAP measures.

The following tables reconcile certain reported non-GAAP measures, which we refer to as “adjusted,” to the most

comparable GAAP measure from our Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We manage our liquidity and capital resources in the context of our overall business strategy, continually forecasting

and managing our cash, working capital balances and capital structure in a way that we believe will meet the short-

term and long-term obligations of our business while maintaining liquidity and financial flexibility. Our current free

cash flow deployment strategy includes an allocation of 25% to 35% investment in acquisitions, 25% investment in

capital expenditures, innovation, and diversification and 40% to 50% in shareholder return in the form of dividends

and share repurchases based on current valuation trends in acquisitions relative to stock price performance.

We believe we have sufficient sources of funding to meet our business requirements for the next 12 months and in

the longer term. Cash flows from operations and borrowings under our credit facilities are our main sources for

liquidity. In addition to the above sources of liquidity, potential sources to fund our business strategy include

financing of real estate and proceeds from debt or equity offerings. We evaluate all of these options and may select

one or more of them depending on overall capital needs and the availability and cost of capital, although no

assurances can be provided that these capital sources will be available in sufficient amounts or with terms

acceptable to us.

Capital Expenditures

Below is a summary of our capital expenditure activities ($ in millions):

Many manufacturers provide assistance in the form of additional incentives or assistance if facilities meet specified

standards and requirements. We expect that certain facility upgrades and remodels will generate additional

manufacturer incentive payments. Also, tax laws allowing accelerated deductions for capital expenditures reduce

the overall investment needed and encourage accelerated project timelines.

We expect to use a portion of our future capital expenditures to upgrade facilities that we recently acquired. This

additional capital investment is contemplated in our initial evaluation of the investment return metrics applied to

each acquisition and is usually associated with manufacturer standards and requirements.

Capital expenditures for the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to the same period of 2024 were lower for

existing facility purchases, maintenance, new operations purchases and improvements, and information technology,

and higher in existing operations improvements.

If we undertake a significant capital commitment in the future, we expect to pay for the commitment out of existing

cash balances, construction financing and borrowings on our credit facility. Upon completion of the projects, we

believe we would have the ability to secure long-term financing and general borrowings from third party lenders for

70% to 90% of the amounts expended, although no assurances can be provided that these financings will be

available to us in sufficient amounts or on terms acceptable to us.

Acquisitions

We focus on acquiring stores at attractive purchase prices that meet our return thresholds and strategic objectives.

We look for acquisitions that diversify our brand and geographic mix as we continue to evaluate our portfolio to

minimize exposure to any one manufacturer and achieve financial returns.

We are able to subsequently floor new vehicle inventory acquired as part of an acquisition; however, the cash

generated by this transaction is recorded as borrowings on floor plan notes payable, non-trade.

Adjusted net cash paid for acquisitions, a non-GAAP measure, as well as certain other acquisition-related

information is presented below:

repurchased a total of 827,241 shares of our Common Stock at an average price of $318.24 in the first six months

of 2025, consisting of 36,466 related to tax withholding on vesting RSUs, and 790,775 related to our repurchase

authorizations. As of June 30, 2025, we had $568.8 million remaining available for repurchases and the

authorizations do not have expiration dates.

In the first six months of 2025, we declared and paid dividends on our Common Stock as follows:

Dividend paid:	Dividend amount per share		Total amount of dividend (in millions)
March 2025	$0.53		$13.9
May 2025	$0.55		$14.3

We evaluate performance and make a recommendation to the Board on dividend payments on a quarterly basis.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Critical Accounting Policies and Use of Estimates

There have been no material changes in the critical accounting policies and use of estimates described in our 2024

Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 24, 2025.

Seasonality and Quarterly Fluctuations

Our North American operations generally experience lower volumes in the first quarter of each year due to

consumer purchasing patterns and inclement weather in certain of our markets. As a result, financial performance is

expected to be lower during the first quarter than during the second, third and fourth quarters of each fiscal year.

Our U.K. operations generally experience higher volumes in the first and third quarters of each year, due primarily to

new vehicle registration practices in the United Kingdom. We believe that interest rates, levels of consumer debt,

consumer confidence and manufacturer sales incentives, as well as general economic conditions, also contribute to

fluctuations in sales and operating results.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a material current or

future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations,

liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

There have been no material changes in our reported market risks or risk management policies since the filing of

our 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K, which was filed with the SEC on February 24, 2025.
