Penske Automotive Group filings document financial results, capital allocation, governance, and dealership transaction activity for a diversified international transportation services company. Form 8-K reports provide results of operations, Regulation FD disclosures, dividend declarations, share repurchases, and material agreements related to completed dealership acquisitions.
The company’s proxy materials describe board and shareholder matters, executive compensation, stockholder voting items, and the operating mix of automotive retail, commercial truck dealerships, commercial vehicle distribution, power systems operations, and joint venture returns. PAG filings also disclose financing arrangements, capital-structure actions, acquisition funding, risk factors, and corporate governance practices relevant to its dealership and transportation-services business.
Penske Automotive Group reported first-quarter 2026 revenue of $7.9 billion, slightly below the prior year’s $8.0 billion, as softer new-vehicle and truck demand offset growth in certain international and parts-and-service operations.
Net income attributable to common stockholders was $234.5 million, down from $257.7 million, with diluted EPS of $3.56 versus $3.86. Results included a $60.4 million gain on the sale of a U.S. automotive franchise, partly offset by other charges.
Retail automotive dealerships generated $7.0 billion of revenue, retail commercial truck dealerships $694.6 million, and commercial vehicle distribution and other operations $201.9 million. Operating cash flow was $215.0 million, while $669.7 million of cash was used for acquisitions, driving total assets to $18.3 billion and long-term debt to $2.6 billion.
Penske Automotive Group reported first quarter 2026 revenue of $7.9 billion, slightly below the $8.0 billion posted a year earlier. Net income attributable to common stockholders declined to $234.5 million from $257.7 million, with earnings per share down to $3.56 from $3.86.
Excluding a gain on sale of a dealership and other items, adjusted net income fell to $200.6 million and adjusted EPS to $3.05, reflecting softer vehicle volumes and a difficult comparison. Retail automotive service and parts remained a strength, with revenue up 4.6% to $863.9 million and related gross profit up 5.7%.
The company completed acquisitions expected to add $450 million of annualized revenue and has acquired two Toyota and four Lexus stores over six months expected to generate about $2 billion in annualized revenue. Penske Transportation Solutions contributed a 24% earnings increase to $41.1 million. Penske ended the quarter with about $1.3 billion in liquidity and a 1.8x leverage ratio after repurchasing 170,393 shares for $26.4 million.
Penske Automotive Group, Inc. has issued its 2026 proxy statement for a fully virtual annual meeting on May 13, 2026, asking stockholders to elect twelve directors, ratify Deloitte & Touche LLP as 2026 auditor, and approve executive pay on an advisory basis.
The company operates as a NYSE “controlled company” through Penske Corporation’s voting power but maintains a majority-independent board and fully independent key committees, with defined oversight of risk, cybersecurity and ESG. In 2025 it reported net income of $937.9M and adjusted EBITDA of $1,507.8M, which underpin long-term incentive metrics.
CEO Roger Penske’s 2025 total compensation was $8,771,209, while the estimated median employee earned $59,583, a pay ratio of 147:1. Pay is heavily equity-based through multi‑year restricted stock tied to EBITDA, EPS, control, people and health‑cost targets.
The proxy also details a large related‑party acquisition: in November 2025 the company bought Penske Motor Group, including four U.S. dealerships, for an aggregate purchase price of $519,446,253, funded with $363,619,353 in cash and a $155,826,900 4.5% three‑year subordinated note to the seller.

On the reported date, he was granted 13 Deferred Stock Units (phantom stock) at a stated price of $0.00 per unit, characterized as a grant or award acquisition. Each unit represents one share of Penske Automotive Group common stock on a one-for-one basis. Following this award, he directly holds a total of 1,501 deferred stock units. These units become exercisable beginning on his separation from service from the company’s Board of Directors, meaning they are designed as a long-term, deferred form of compensation rather than an immediate share purchase.

Each unit is exchangeable on a one-for-one basis for Penske Automotive Group common stock. The units become exercisable when Smith separates from service from the company’s Board of Directors, so this is a non-cash, deferred equity compensation grant.
