A DEF 14A covers the proxy statement, with executive pay and the shareholder votes, so if you follow LAD and want that one kind of document rather than the whole filing history, this is the page to keep. The company's other filings, of every form, are on the full LAD filings page.
Lithia Motors, Inc. is asking shareholders to vote at its virtual 2026 annual meeting on April 30, 2026. The board recommends electing ten directors, approving advisory say-on-pay, and ratifying KPMG as auditor, while opposing a shareholder proposal to change the board leadership structure.
The proxy highlights 2025 performance: earnings per share of $32.32 (up 10%), net income of $826 million (up 1%), and record revenue of $37.6 billion (up 4%). Lithia returned $1.0 billion to shareholders through dividends and buybacks, repurchasing 11.4% of outstanding shares, and added $2.4 billion of expected annualized revenue via acquisitions.
Governance and ESG sections emphasize an 80% independent board, 60% gender or ethnically diverse directors and nominees, fully independent committees, a lead independent director, and detailed oversight of risk and cybersecurity.
