Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Sonic Automotive reported strong 2025 top-line growth but weaker GAAP profit. Full-year revenue reached $15.2 billion, up 7%, with record gross profit of $2.4 billion, up 9%. Reported net income fell 45% to $118.7 million (EPS $3.42) due mainly to significant non-cash impairment charges.

Excluding specified items, adjusted net income rose 17% to $229.2 million with adjusted EPS of $6.60, up 18%. Fourth-quarter revenue was $3.9 billion, down 1%, while net income was $46.9 million, down 20%; adjusted net income was $52.2 million and adjusted EPS $1.52, up 1%.

The Franchised Dealerships segment delivered record $12.9 billion revenue and $2.1 billion gross profit, both up 8%. EchoPark produced all-time record adjusted EBITDA of $49.2 million, up 78%, and the Powersports segment’s adjusted EBITDA rose 83% to $11.5 million. In 2025 Sonic repurchased about 1.3 million Class A shares for $82.4 million, and the board approved a quarterly dividend of $0.38 per share.

Insights

Record revenue and improving adjusted earnings offset by large impairments.

Sonic Automotive delivered record $15.2 billion in 2025 revenue, up 7%, and record gross profit of $2.4 billion, up 9%. Core profitability on an adjusted basis strengthened, with adjusted net income up 17% and adjusted EPS rising to $6.60.

However, reported net income dropped 45% to $118.7 million (EPS $3.42) due largely to a $173.8 million non-cash impairment in Q2 and other one-time items. This creates a wide gap between GAAP and non-GAAP results, which investors typically scrutinize carefully.

Segment data show the strategy working: EchoPark adjusted EBITDA jumped 78% to $49.2 million and Powersports to $11.5 million, while franchised dealerships posted record $12.9 billion revenue. Management highlights over $700 million of liquidity as of December 31, 2025 and continued capital returns via a $0.38 quarterly dividend and $82.4 million of share repurchases in 2025.

NYSE SAH Strategic Focus – Franchised Dealerships Segment (continued) Hybrid vs. Electric Vehicle Trends • Industry sales volume penetration rates for combined hybrid electric vehicles (HEV) and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEV) exceed the penetration rates for battery electric vehicles (BEV) and are trending upward • FY 2025 hybrid new vehicle GPU was higher than internal combustion engine (ICE) new vehicle GPU in our import and domestic brands, and marginally lower in our luxury brands, driven by better consumer demand and relatively lower hybrid days’ supply vs. both ICE and BEV • BEV new vehicle GPU has lagged both hybrid and ICE vehicles as a result of excess inventory supply, resulting in BEV sales negatively impacting total new vehicle GPU by approximately $200 in FY 2025 (improved from $350 in FY 2024) and $100 in Q4 2025 (improved from $300 in Q3 2025 due to higher EV sales mix in Q3 2025 due to expiration of federal EV tax credit) • To the extent OEMs can align BEV supply with natural consumer demand following the expiration of the federal EV tax credit, this BEV mix-driven GPU headwind could improve in 2026 and beyond • Initial BEV repair and maintenance trends show lower frequency but higher gross profit per repair order vs. ICE vehicles, while hybrid vehicles create opportunity to service both types of power trains 19.1% 4.9% 0% 4% 8% 12% 16% 20% D ec -1 8 Ju n- 19 D ec -1 9 Ju n- 20 D ec -2 0 Ju n- 21 D ec -2 1 Ju n- 22 D ec -2 2 Ju n- 23 D ec -2 3 Ju n- 24 D ec -2 4 Ju n- 25 D ec -2 5 Hybrid Vehicle vs. EV Industry Sales Volume Penetration Hybrid (HEV/PHEV) Penetration % BEV Penetration % So ur ce : M or ga n St an le y R es ea rc h 8 100% Luxury Import Domestic Total Sonic FY 2025 Average New Vehicle Relative GPU by Power Train BEV Hybrid ICE Average New Vehicle GPU Note: Average new vehicle relative GPU by power train in the chart above is shown as a percentage of blended average GPU for each brand group and franchised dealerships segment total GPU, where 100% represents the blended average GPU for each brand group and the franchised dealerships segment total GPU.

Appendix: Financial Tables & Non-GAAP Reconciliations

 
NYSE SAH Definition of Non-GAAP Financial Measures 15 Adjusted Net Income is defined as GAAP net income, excluding certain non-operating charges and/or benefits that may affect the comparability of results from period to period. Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share (“Adjusted EPS”) is defined as Adjusted Net Income divided by diluted weighted-average common shares outstanding. Segment Income (Loss) is defined as segment income (loss) before taxes, less impairment charges. Adjusted Segment Income (Loss) is defined as Segment Income (Loss), excluding certain non- operating charges and/or benefits that may affect the comparability of results from period to period. Adjusted Gross Profit is defined as GAAP gross profit, excluding certain non-operating charges that may affect the comparability of results from period to period. Adjusted SG&A Expenses is defined as GAAP SG&A expenses, excluding certain non-operating charges and/or benefits that may affect the comparability of results from period to period. Adjusted SG&A Expenses as a % of Gross Profit is defined as GAAP SG&A expenses, excluding certain non-operating charges and/or benefits that may affect the comparability of results from period to period, expressed as a percentage of adjusted gross profit. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as GAAP net income (loss), excluding the provision for income taxes, non-floor plan interest expense, depreciation and amortization expense, stock-based compensation expense, and certain non-operating charges and/or benefits that may affect the comparability of results from period to period. Segment Adjusted EBITDA and Segment Adjusted EBITDA Loss is defined as segment income (loss) before taxes, excluding non-floor plan interest expense, depreciation and amortization expense, stock-based compensation expense, and certain non-operating charges and/or benefits that may affect the comparability of results from period to period. Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA Ratio is defined as long-term debt (including current portion), less cash and equivalents, less outstanding floor plan deposit balance, expressed as a ratio to Adjusted EBITDA. To supplement the Company’s financial data presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”), this presentation contains certain non- GAAP financial measures, such as adjusted net income, adjusted earnings per diluted share, segment income (loss), adjusted segment income (loss), adjusted SG&A expenses as a percentage of gross profit, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA loss, and net debt to adjusted EBITDA ratio. The Company has provided reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures in the appendix to this presentation. Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures are important supplemental measures of performance which improve the comparability and transparency of the Company’s disclosures and provide a meaningful presentation of the Company’s results. Management also considers these non-GAAP financial measures when making financial, operating and strategic decisions. Financial data may also include certain forward-looking information that is not presented in accordance with GAAP. We believe that a quantitative reconciliation of such forward-looking information to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure cannot be made available without unreasonable efforts, because a reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures would require an estimate of future non-operating items such as impairment charges, gain/loss on property dispositions, and/or non-recurring SG&A expenses.
