Forward-Looking Statements
Unless the context requires otherwise, references to “we,” “us,” “our” “Group 1” or the “Company” are intended to mean the business and operations of Group 1 Automotive, Inc. and its subsidiaries.
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (this “Form 10-Q”) includes certain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”). These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements concerning the Company’s strategy, future operating performance, future supply constraints, future liquidity and availability of financing, capital allocation, the completion of future acquisitions and divestitures, as well as the impact of cyberattacks or other privacy/data security incidents, business trends in the retail automotive industry, changes to regulations and policies applicable to our operations, including battery electric vehicle mandates in the U.K. and their impact on new vehicle demand and potential changes in U.S. and global trade policy, including the imposition by the U.S. of significant tariffs on the import of automobiles and certain materials used in our parts and service operating business and the resulting consequences of a prolonged U.S. government shutdown and the passage of the “One Big Beautiful Bill”, including the associated impact on tax deductions in the domestic car industry and elimination of certain clean energy tax credits, which could impact incentives for electric vehicle production and sales. Broader macroeconomic challenges in the U.K., including inflationary pressures, fluctuations in interest and foreign exchange rates and overall economic volatility, could further impact vehicle affordability, demand and the Company’s financial performance in that market. When used in this Form 10-Q, the words “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements.
These forward-looking statements are based on the Company’s expectations and beliefs as of the date of this Form 10-Q concerning future developments and their potential effect on the Company. While management believes that these forward-looking statements are reasonable when and as made, there can be no assurance that future developments affecting the Company will be those that are anticipated. The Company’s forward-looking statements involve significant risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements, including, but not limited to, the risks set forth in Item 1A. Risk Factors of this Form 10-Q.
For additional information regarding known material factors that could cause actual results to differ from projected results, refer to Part II, Item 1A. Risk Factors herein, Item 1A. Risk Factors in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 (the “2024 Form 10-K”) and Part II, Item 1A. Risk Factors in the Company’s Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and for the three months ended June 30, 2025, as well as Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk of this Form 10-Q.
Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date hereof. The Company undertakes no responsibility and expressly disclaims any duty, to update any such statements, whether as a result of new information, new developments or otherwise, or to publicly release the result of any revision of the forward-looking statements after the date they are made, except to the extent required by law.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND CONSOLIDATION AND ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation and Consolidation
The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto, have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP for interim financial information and in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. Results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that can be expected for a full year and therefore should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited Financial Statements and notes thereto included within the Company’s 2024 Form 10-K. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements reflect the consolidated accounts of the parent company, Group 1 Automotive, Inc. and its subsidiaries, all of which are wholly owned.
Discontinued operations presented in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements relate to the Company’s Brazilian operations which were disposed of in 2022. Unless otherwise specified, disclosures in these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements reflect continuing operations only.
Certain amounts in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and the accompanying notes may not compute due to rounding. All computations have been calculated using unrounded amounts for all periods presented. These Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements reflect, in the opinion of management, all normal recurring adjustments necessary to fairly state, in all material respects, the Company’s financial position and results of operations for the periods presented.
Use of Estimates
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. The amendments require the disclosure of a reconciliation between income tax expense from continuing operations and the amount computed by multiplying income from continuing operations before income taxes by the applicable statutory rate as well as an annual disaggregation of the income tax rate reconciliation between certain specified categories by both percentage and reported amounts, along with other changes to income tax disclosure requirements. The standard will be effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company does not expect the adoption of this ASU to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements; however, the adoption will require certain additional income tax disclosures.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement — Reporting Comprehensive Income — Expense Disaggregation Disclosures. The ASU requires that an entity disclose additional information about specific expense categories in the notes to financial statements. The standard will be effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of the provisions of the ASU will have on its consolidated financial statements.
In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-05, Financial Instruments — Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets. The amendments introduce a practical expedient that allows entities to measure expected credit losses on current accounts receivable and current contract assets by assuming that current conditions as of the reporting date will remain unchanged over the life of those assets. This update is intended to simplify the estimation process by reducing reliance on forecasts of future economic conditions. The standard will be effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2025, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of the ASU will have on its consolidated financial statements.

GROUP 1 AUTOMOTIVE, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) – (Continued)
In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, Intangibles — Goodwill and Other — Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software. The amendments eliminate the previous stage of development framework and require capitalization of internal-use software costs to begin when management authorizes and commits funding for a project and it is probable the project will be completed and placed in service. The standard will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of the ASU will have on its consolidated financial statements.

4. INTANGIBLE FRANCHISE RIGHTS AND GOODWILL
The Company evaluates its intangible assets, which include franchise rights and goodwill, for impairment annually, or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate possible impairment.
During the three months ended September 30, 2025, the Company elected to terminate franchise agreements associated with ten JLR dealerships in the U.K. Formal notice of termination was provided to JLR, with an effective date of termination of August 2027. As a result of the termination notice, the Company recorded a corresponding intangible franchise rights impairment charge of $18.1 million in the U.K. segment for the three months ended September 30, 2025.
The U.K. economy continues to face challenges, including persistent inflation, elevated interest rates, rising energy costs and a slowdown in consumer spending. These factors have contributed to margin compression and increased operating expenses within the automotive retail industry. The economic challenges in the U.K., coupled with the termination of franchise agreements described above, constituted a triggering event indicating that goodwill and intangible franchise rights may be impaired during the three months ended September 30, 2025.
As a result of the triggering event described above, the Company performed a quantitative assessment on the goodwill associated with the U.K. reporting unit to determine whether the fair values of the U.K. reporting unit were less than their carrying values. When a quantitative impairment assessment is performed, the Company estimates the fair value of goodwill using a combination of the market approach and the income approach, also referred to as the discounted cash flow approach, consistent with the Company’s historical approach for performing such assessments. The Company weighs the market approach and the income approach equally in the fair value model. For the market approach, the Company utilizes recent market multiples of guideline companies for both revenue and pre-tax net income.
The income approach measures fair value by discounting expected future cash flows at a weighted average cost of capital (“WACC”) that proportionately weights the cost of debt and equity. Significant assumptions in the model include revenue growth rates, future earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization margins, the fair value of non-operating assets, the WACC and terminal growth rates. The Company used a five-year projection period which aligns with the Company’s strategic plan. Key considerations in the assumed growth rates include industry seasonally-adjusted annual rates of vehicle sales projections, market share performance, macroeconomic conditions including consumer confidence levels, unemployment rates and gross domestic product growth and internal measures such as historical financial performance, cost control and planned capital expenditures.
Beyond the five forecasted years, the terminal value is determined using a perpetuity growth rate based on long-term inflation projections for each reporting unit. Significant inputs to the WACC include the risk-free rate, an adjustment for stock market risk, an adjustment for company size risk and country risk adjustments for the U.K.
Each of the significant assumptions to the fair value model are considered level 3 inputs within the fair value hierarchy as described further in Note 8. Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements. Developing these assumptions requires applying management’s knowledge of the industry, recent transactions and reasonable performance expectations for its operations.
As a result of the quantitative assessment for the U.K. reporting unit as of August 31, 2025, the Company recorded a goodwill impairment charge of $93.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025.
Based on the triggering event as described above, the Company examined its intangible franchise rights balance associated with the U.K. reporting unit and identified certain U.K. dealerships’ intangible franchise rights requiring further quantitative assessment.. To perform the intangible franchise rights quantitative assessment, the Company estimated the fair values of the respective franchise rights using a discounted cash flow, or income approach, following the income approach as described for Goodwill. This resulted in additional franchise rights impairment charges, unrelated to the OEM notification described above, of $5.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, bringing total intangible franchise rights impairment charges, excluding impairments associated with restructuring charges, to $23.5 million and $23.9 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively.

5. RESTRUCTURING
During the fourth quarter of 2024, the Company initiated a U.K.-wide restructuring plan (the “Restructuring Plan”) related to the integration activities of Inchcape Retail with existing U.K. operations. The Restructuring Plan consists of workforce realignment, including certain headcount reductions and strategic closing of certain facilities and dealerships. The Restructuring Plan is expected to continue throughout 2025, and the Company does not expect additional restructuring charges to be material. Any changes to the Company’s estimates or timing of such charges will be reflected in the Company’s results of operations in future periods.

7. EARNINGS PER SHARE
The two-class method is utilized for the computation of the Company’s EPS. The two-class method requires a portion of net income to be allocated to participating securities, which are unvested awards of share-based payments with non-forfeitable rights to receive dividends that are paid in cash. The Company’s restricted stock awards are participating securities. Income allocated to these participating securities is excluded from net income available to common shares, as shown in the table below. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income available to basic common shares by the weighted average number of basic common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS is computed by dividing net income available to diluted common shares by the weighted average number of dilutive common shares outstanding during the period.
The following table sets forth the calculation of EPS (in millions, except share and per share data):

8. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
Accounting standards define fair value as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the most advantageous market in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Accounting standards establish a fair value hierarchy that requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value and establishes the following three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
•Level 1 — Quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
•Level 2 — Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or model-derived valuations or other inputs that are observable or that can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
•Level 3 — Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.
Cash and Cash Equivalents, Contracts-In-Transit and Vehicle Receivables, Accounts and Notes Receivable, Accounts Payable, Variable Rate Long-Term Debt and Floorplan Notes Payable
The fair values of these financial instruments approximate their carrying values due to the short-term nature of the instruments and/or the existence of variable interest rates.
Fixed Rate Long-Term Debt
The Company estimates the fair value of its $750.0 million 4.00 % Senior Notes due August 2028 (“4.00 % Senior Notes”) and the $500 million 6.375 % Senior Notes due January 2030 (“6.375 % Senior Notes”) using quoted prices for the identical liability (Level 1) and estimates the fair value of its fixed-rate mortgage facilities using a present value method based on current market interest rates for similar types of financial instruments (Level 2). Refer to Note 10. Debt for further discussion of the Company’s long-term debt arrangements.

| Total | $ | $ | $ | $ | ||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) Carrying value excludes unamortized debt issuance costs.
Derivative Financial Instruments
The Company holds interest rate swaps to hedge against variability of interest payments indexed to SOFR. The Company’s interest rate swaps are measured at fair value utilizing a SOFR forward yield curve matched to the identical maturity term of the instrument being measured. Observable inputs utilized in the income approach valuation method incorporate identical contractual notional amounts, fixed coupon rates, periodic terms for interest payments and contract maturity. The fair value of the interest rate swaps also considers the credit risk of the Company for instruments in a liability position or the counterparty for instruments in an asset position. The credit risk is calculated using the spread between the SOFR yield curve and the relevant interest rate according to rating agencies. The inputs to the fair value measurements reflect Level 2 of the hierarchy framework.

The Company recorded unrealized mark-to-market losses of $0.2 million and $1.1 million and realized gains of $0.2 million and $0.7 million associated with de-designated interest rate swaps within Other interest expense, net, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively. The Company recorded unrealized mark-to-market losses of $1.0 million and $1.0 million and realized gains of $0.4 million and $1.2 million associated with de-designated interest rate swaps within Other interest expense, net, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively.
Interest Rate Swaps Designated as Cash Flow Hedges
Interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges and the related gains or losses are deferred in stockholders’ equity as a component of AOCI in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The deferred gains or losses are recognized in income in the period in which the related items being hedged are recognized in expense. Monthly contractual settlements of the positions are recognized as Floorplan interest expense or Other interest expense, net, in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Gains or losses for periods where future forecasted hedged transactions are deemed probable of not occurring are reclassified from AOCI into income as Floorplan interest expense or Other interest expense, net.
As of September 30, 2025, the Company held 26 interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges with a total notional value of $856.4 million that fixed its underlying SOFR at a weighted average rate of 1.24 %. As of September 30, 2024, the Company held 34 interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges with a total notional value of $922.7 million that fixed its underlying SOFR at a weighted average rate of 1.23 %. The maturity dates of the Company’s designated interest rate swaps range between December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2031.

Revolving Credit Facility
On May 30, 2025, in the U.S., the Company entered into an amended revolving syndicated credit arrangement that matures on May 30, 2030, with 18 participating financial institutions (the “Revolving Credit Facility”). In addition to extending the term, the amendment increased the availability from $2.5 billion to $3.5 billion, with the ability to increase to $4.5 billion, subject to lender approval. The Revolving Credit Facility consists of two tranches: (i) a $1.75 billion maximum capacity tranche for U.S. vehicle inventory floorplan financing (“U.S. Floorplan Line”) which the outstanding balance, net of offset account discussed below, is reported in Floorplan notes payable — credit facility and other, net; and (ii) a $1.75 billion maximum capacity tranche (“Acquisition Line”), which is not due until maturity of the Revolving Credit Facility and is therefore classified in Long-term debt on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Refer to Note 10. Debt for additional discussion. The capacity under these two tranches can be re-designated within the overall $3.5 billion commitment. The Acquisition Line includes a $100.0 million sub-limit for letters of credit. The Company had $11.8
The U.S. Floorplan Line bears interest at rates equal to plus 120 basis points for new vehicle inventory and plus 150 basis points for used vehicle inventory. The weighted average interest rate on the U.S. Floorplan Line was 5.44 % as of September 30, 2025, excluding the impact of the Company’s interest rate swap derivative instruments. The Acquisition Line bears interest at or a equivalent plus 110 to 210 basis points, depending on the Company’s total adjusted leverage ratio, on borrowings in USD, Euros or GBP. The U.S. Floorplan Line requires a commitment fee of 0.15 % per annum on the unused portion. Amounts borrowed by the Company under the U.S. Floorplan Line for specific vehicle inventory are to be repaid upon the sale of the vehicle financed and in no case is a borrowing for a vehicle to remain outstanding for greater than one year. The Acquisition Line requires a commitment fee ranging from 0.15 % to 0.40 % per annum, depending on the Company’s total adjusted leverage ratio.
In conjunction with the Revolving Credit Facility, the Company had $8.4 million and $3.1 million of unamortized debt issuance costs as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, which are included in Prepaid expenses and Other long-term assets in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and amortized over the term of the facility.

Interest rates on the Company’s manufacturer facilities vary across manufacturers.
Offset Accounts
Offset accounts consist of immediately available cash used to pay down the U.S. Floorplan Line, FMCC Facility and GM Financial Facility, and therefore offset the respective outstanding balances in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The offset accounts are the Company’s primary options for the short-term investment of excess cash.
In May 2025, the Company entered into an addendum to the master loan agreement with General Motors Financial and established an offset account under the GM Financial Facility (the “GM Floorplan Offset”). As of September 30, 2025, the balance for the GM Floorplan Offset was $— .
12. CASH FLOW INFORMATION
Non-Cash Activities
The accrual for capital expenditures was $10.7 million and $9.0 million as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.

13. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
From time to time, the Company or its dealerships are named in various types of litigation involving customer claims, employment matters, class action claims, purported class action claims, claims involving the manufacturers of automobiles, contractual disputes, vehicle related incidents and other matters arising in the ordinary course of business. The Company may be involved in legal proceedings or suffer losses that could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition or cash flows. In the normal course of business, the Company is required to respond to customer, employee and other third-party complaints. In addition, the manufacturers of the vehicles that the Company sells and services have audit rights allowing them to review the validity of amounts claimed for incentive, rebate or warranty-related items and charge the Company back for amounts determined to be invalid payments under the manufacturers’ programs, subject to the Company’s right to appeal any such decision.
Legal Proceedings
As of September 30, 2025, the Company was not party to any legal proceedings that, individually or in the aggregate, are reasonably expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition or cash flows. However, the results of current or future matters cannot be predicted with certainty; an unfavorable resolution of one or more of such matters could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, should be read in conjunction with the accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and the notes thereto, as well as our 2024 Form 10-K.
Overview
We are a leading operator in the automotive retail industry. We sell or lease new and used cars and light trucks; arrange related vehicle financing; sell service and insurance contracts; provide automotive maintenance and repair services; and sell vehicle parts retail and wholesale. We have operations in geographically diverse markets that extend across 17 states in the U.S. and 66 towns and cities in the U.K. As of September 30, 2025, our retail network consisted of 146 dealerships in the U.S. and 113 dealerships in the U.K.
Recent Events
The U.K. economy continues to face challenges, including persistent inflation, elevated interest rates, rising energy costs and a slowdown in consumer spending. These factors have contributed to margin compression and increased operating expenses within the automotive retail industry. These economic challenges in the U.K., coupled with the voluntary termination of certain franchise agreements, caused a triggering event for the U.K. reporting unit requiring further assessment of our goodwill and intangible franchise rights. Based on our quantitative assessment, we recorded goodwill and franchise rights intangible asset impairments of $93.0 million and $23.5 million, respectively, in the U.K. reporting unit in the Current Quarter. Refer to Note 4. Intangible Franchise Rights and Goodwill within our Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.
We will continue to monitor the challenging macroeconomic and industry conditions in the U.K. as outlined above. Further erosion in the macroeconomic environment, additional margin compression, or increases to our operating costs in the U.K. may require us to re-assess the value of our goodwill and intangible franchise rights associated with our U.K. reporting unit, which could result in additional material impairment charges in future periods.
On October 17, 2025, President Donald Trump issued a proclamation under Section 232 imposing 25% tariffs on imported medium- and heavy-duty trucks and parts, effective November 1, 2025. The order also grants a 3.75% production credit through 2030 for vehicles and engines assembled in the U.S. The measure is expected to affect vehicle costs, sourcing and production decisions across the automotive industry, particularly for companies involved in the distribution and sale of medium- and heavy-duty vehicles. The impact of these measures on our results of operations cannot be predicted at this time.
On September 18, 2025, the U.S. Federal Reserve lowered interest rates by 25 basis points in an effort to stimulate the labor market and economic activity. On August 7, 2025, the Bank of England lowered interest rates by 25 basis points, following earlier reductions in February and May 2025. These interest rate cuts may improve vehicle affordability for consumers, however, the impact on our results of operations cannot be predicted with certainty at this time.
On September 16, 2025, a fire at a major U.S. aluminum production facility caused significant damage and is expected to keep the plant offline until early 2026. The facility supplies several OEMs, including Ford, Toyota and Jeep, and the disruption is anticipated to affect the production of certain aluminum-intensive vehicle models. Certain OEMs have indicated they are working with alternative aluminum suppliers to mitigate the impact of the fire. In response to these supply constraints, Ford temporarily suspended production of certain SUV models, and additional impacts to truck production may occur if aluminum shortages persist. While the ultimate impact on our new vehicle supply remains uncertain, these disruptions could result in reduced vehicle availability, which may adversely affect our results of operations.
On September 4, 2025, President Donald Trump signed an executive order implementing the United States–Japan Agreement that revises tariff treatment for Japanese automobiles and auto parts under Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act. Effective retroactively to August 7, 2025, imports from Japan are generally subject to a 15 percent duty, with adjustments based on existing tariff rates, which replaces the higher additional duties previously applied to these products. The impact of these measures on our results of operations cannot be predicted at this time.
On September 2, 2025, JLR disclosed that it had experienced a significant cybersecurity incident that resulted in the temporary shutdown of certain production facilities and information technology systems. This disruption has led to delays in new vehicle deliveries, reduced availability of certain models and interruptions in certain parts supply. JLR accounted for approximately 3.8% of our total consolidated revenues during the Current Year. We cannot predict with certainty the expected total impact of the incident on our results of operations at this time and will continue to monitor developments closely.

In the U.K., the Financial Conduct Authority (“FCA”) is reviewing the historic use of discretionary commission arrangements in motor finance. On August 1, 2025, the Supreme Court of the United Kingdom issued its judgment in the Johnson v FirstRand Bank Ltd, Wrench v FirstRand Bank Ltd and Hopcraft v Close Brothers Ltd cases. The Supreme Court of the United Kingdom ruled that dealers do not generally owe fiduciary duties but confirmed that, in some cases, commission arrangements that were not properly disclosed to customers could be treated as creating an unfair relationship under the Consumer Credit Act. On August 3, 2025, the FCA announced it will consult in October 2025 on a possible industry-wide redress scheme for affected consumers. If adopted, the scheme could be finalized such that compensation payments may begin in 2026. The FCA also confirmed that firms will not be required to issue final responses to related customer complaints until after December 4, 2025. The outcomes of the FCA’s review, any redress scheme and related proceedings remain uncertain.
On July 4, 2025, H.R. 1, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”), was signed into law. For the automotive industry, the bill provides consumers with a tax deduction for the interest on loans for certain U.S.-assembled vehicles. The bill also eliminates federal Electric Vehicle (“EV”) tax credits for vehicles purchased or leased after September 30, 2025. Additionally, the OBBBA reinstates 100% bonus depreciation for qualified property placed in service after January 19, 2025. This provision allows for immediate expensing for income tax purposes of the full cost of eligible tangible assets, including certain machinery, equipment and building improvements. The impact of the OBBBA on our results of operations cannot be predicted with certainty at this time.
On June 16, 2025, President Donald Trump signed an executive order Implementing the General Terms of the United States of America-United Kingdom Economic Prosperity Deal. This executive order, effective June 23, 2025, operationalizes a landmark trade agreement between the U.S. and the U.K., first announced on May 8, 2025, aimed at enhancing bilateral trade and addressing national security concerns. The order’s key provisions related to the automotive trade include (i) an annual quota allowing 100,000 U.K.-made vehicles to enter the U.S. at a reduced 10 percent tariff (7.5 percent plus 2.5 percent most-favored-nation rate); (ii) any additional imported vehicles each year will be subject to the standard 25 percent tariff rate; and (iii) automotive parts that are products of the U.K. and are for use in U.K.-made vehicles will be subject to a total tariff rate of 10 percent.
The U.K. government has established mandated targets for the sale of new zero emissions vehicles with increasing targets in future years. On April 6, 2025, the U.K. Prime Minister announced planned changes to the EV mandate, which aim to allow carmakers more flexibility in reaching their goal to phase out internal combustion engine vehicles. The plan increases flexibility of the mandate through 2030, allowing more EVs to be sold in later years as demand increases. Further, the plan allows for the continued sale of hybrid vehicles, which can be operated by both internal combustion and batteries, through 2035 to help ease the transition. As of July 16, 2025, U.K. car manufacturers can apply for Electric Car Grants, which will discount eligible new EVs for consumers at the point of sale. Certain manufacturers urged the U.K. government to provide additional flexibility in the mandate, citing consumer demand, infrastructure limitations and the cost of compliance as potential barriers to meet future targets. Additionally, on June 12, 2025, President Donald Trump signed resolutions revoking California’s authority to enforce regulations it set forth, including Advanced Clean Cars II, which imposes stricter emissions limits for vehicles and requires nearly all new car sales to be zero-emission by 2035. California and ten other states set to implement Advanced Clean Cars II-like rules have sued the Environmental Protection Agency and President Donald Trump and are seeking to enjoin the resolutions. The impact of these changes on our vehicle mix and results of operations cannot be predicted with certainty at this time.
On April 2, 2025, President Donald Trump signed an executive order setting a 10 percent baseline tariff on imports, with higher rates for countries running trade surpluses with the U.S. By April 9, 2025, a follow-up order paused most of the higher reciprocal tariffs for 90 days but kept the 10 percent baseline and raised Chinese tariffs. On July 7, 2025, President Donald Trump extended the tariff modifications through August 1, 2025. On August 11, 2025, President Donald Trump further extended the suspension of country-specific reciprocal tariff rates on Chinese goods and kept the 10% rate in place through November 10, 2025.
On March 26, 2025, President Donald Trump signed a proclamation under Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act imposing a 25 percent tariff on imported automobiles and certain automobile parts. Subsequent procedures issued by the U.S. Department of Commerce provided partial relief for vehicles qualifying under the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement and allowed manufacturers with U.S. assembly operations to apply for offsets on parts tariffs. In August 2025, a federal appeals court limited certain tariff powers under emergency statutes, but the Section 232 automobile tariffs remain in effect. The impact on our operations and results of operations cannot be predicted at this time.
24
While the possibility exists for delays, reductions, or exemptions of the automotive and reciprocal tariffs, the potential impacts of the tariffs described above, as well as the reaction of the OEMs to such tariffs, remain uncertain and could significantly increase the price of our products as well as the future mix and demand for vehicles provided by our manufacturers. Additionally, reciprocal tariffs, tariffs on steel, aluminum, copper and other materials, and the elevated tariffs against China and other countries could negatively impact the global economy, demand for our products and our manufacturers’ global supply chains. Our manufacturers’ supply chain dependencies and production facility locations vary by OEM, and as a result, certain manufacturers, vehicle models, vehicle model variations and parts could be affected more significantly by the imposition of tariffs than others. We will continue to monitor the impact of the Trump Administration’s policies and the response of U.S. trading partners on our results of operations in future periods.
Critical Accounting Policies and Accounting Estimates
For discussion of our critical accounting policies and accounting estimates, refer to Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of our 2024 Form 10-K. There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies or accounting estimates since December 31, 2024.
Results of Operations
The “same store” amounts presented below include the results of dealerships and corporate headquarters for the identical months in each comparative period, commencing with the first full month in which we owned the dealership. Amounts related to divestitures are excluded from each comparative period, ending with the last full month in which we owned the dealership. Same store results provide a measurement of our ability to grow revenues and profitability of our existing stores and also provide a metric for peer group comparisons. For these reasons, same store results allow management to accurately manage and monitor the underlying performance of the business and is also useful to investors.
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. Our primary foreign currency exposure is to the GBP. 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 USD 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. Additionally, we caution investors not to place undue reliance on non-GAAP measures, but also to consider them with the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measures. Our management also uses constant currency and adjusted cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities 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. These metrics also allow investors to better understand and evaluate the information used by management to assess operating performance.
Retail new and used vehicle units sold include new and used vehicle agency units sold under agency arrangements with certain manufacturers in the U.K. The agency units and related revenues are excluded from the calculation of the average sales price per unit sold for new and used vehicles due to their net presentation within revenues as only the sales commission is reported in revenues for dealerships operating under an agency arrangement. The agency units and related net revenues are included in the calculation of gross profit per unit sold.
Certain amounts in the financial statements may not compute due to rounding. All computations have been calculated using unrounded amounts for all periods presented.

U.S. Region — Three Months Ended September 30, 2025 Compared to 2024
Revenues
Total revenues in the U.S. during the Current Quarter increased $306.8 million, or 7.7%, as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2024 (“Prior Year Quarter”), driven by higher same store revenues and the acquisition of stores.
Total same store revenues in the U.S. during the Current Quarter increased $273.1 million, or 7.0%, as compared to the Prior Year Quarter. This increase was driven by higher revenues across all business lines.
New vehicle retail same store revenues outperformed the Prior Year Quarter, driven by more units sold, coupled with higher pricing. This outperformance reflects the resiliency of demand. We ended the Current Quarter with a U.S. new vehicle inventory supply of 52 days, four days lower than the Prior Year Quarter.
Used vehicle retail same store revenues outperformed the Prior Year Quarter, driven by higher pricing, coupled with more units sold. Used vehicle wholesale same store revenues outperformed the Prior Year Quarter, driven by more units sold, coupled with higher pricing.
Parts and service same store revenues outperformed the Prior Year Quarter, driven by increases in customer pay, warranty and wholesale revenues, partially offset by decreases in collision revenues. We are strategically reducing our smaller collision center footprints and repurposing a portion of that space to traditional service capacity, which we expect to increase returns from the higher margin service business. Same store technician headcount increased through our continued technician recruiting and retention efforts, providing greater capacity to meet increased demand.
F&I same store revenues outperformed the Prior Year Quarter, primarily driven by higher same store new and used vehicle units sold, coupled with improved penetration rates across most product offerings and improved finance and VSC income per contract.
Gross Profit
Total gross profit in the U.S. during the Current Quarter increased $36.9 million, or 5.4%, as compared to the Prior Year Quarter, driven by higher same store gross profit and the acquisition of stores.

U.K. Region — Three Months Ended September 30, 2025 Compared to 2024
Retail new and used vehicle units sold include new and used vehicle agency units. The agency units and related revenues are excluded from the calculation of the average sales price per unit sold for new vehicles as only the sales commission is reported within revenues. The agency units and related net revenues are included in the calculation of gross profit per unit sold. The GBP to USD foreign currency exchange rate has fluctuated from £1 to $1.339 at September 30, 2024, to £1 to $1.344 at September 30, 2025, or an increase in the value of the GBP of 0.4%.
Revenues
Total revenues in the U.K. during the Current Quarter increased $254.5 million, or 20.4%, as compared to the Prior Year Quarter, primarily driven by the acquisition of stores, higher same store revenues and changes in foreign currency exchange rates.
Total same store revenues in the U.K. during the Current Quarter increased $47.5 million, or 3.9%, as compared to the Prior Year Quarter, primarily driven by outperformances across all lines of business except new vehicle retail. On a constant currency basis, same store revenues increased 0.6%, driven by the same outperformances.
New vehicle retail same store revenues, on a constant currency basis, underperformed the Prior Year Quarter, driven by lower units sold. The Current Quarter ended with a U.K. new vehicle inventory supply of 20 days, three days lower than the Prior Year Quarter.
Used vehicle retail same store revenues, on a constant currency basis, outperformed the Prior Year Quarter, driven by more units sold, coupled with higher pricing.
Used vehicle wholesale same store revenues, on a constant currency basis, outperformed the Prior Year Quarter, primarily driven by an increase in wholesale used vehicle units sold.
Parts and service same store revenues, on a constant currency basis, outperformed the Prior Year Quarter, driven by increases in customer pay and wholesale revenues, partially offset by a decrease in warranty revenues. We have invested in improvements to our U.K. customer contact center, streamlining operations to make scheduling appointments easier for customers, resulting in an increase in customer pay parts and service activity driving an increase in revenues as compared to the Prior Year Quarter.
F&I, net same store revenues, on a constant currency basis, outperformed the Prior Year Quarter, driven by higher income per contract on most of our F&I products and improved finance and VSC penetration rates.
Gross Profit
Total gross profit in the U.K. during the Current Quarter increased $30.2 million, or 17.3%, as compared to the Prior Year Quarter, driven by the acquisition of stores and higher same store gross profit.
Total same store gross profit in the U.K. during the Current Quarter increased $1.6 million, or 1.0%, as compared to the Prior Year Quarter. On a constant currency basis, total same store gross profit decreased 2.3%, driven by downward pressures on margins across all business lines except used vehicle wholesale and F&I.
New vehicle retail same store gross profit, on a constant currency basis, underperformed the Prior Year Quarter, due to a decrease in units sold, coupled with a decline in gross profit per unit sold on a constant currency basis.
Used vehicle retail same store gross profit, on a constant currency basis, underperformed the Prior Year Quarter, driven by a decrease in used vehicle retail same store gross profit per unit sold, partially offset by an increase in used vehicle retail same store units sold.
Parts and service same store gross profit, on a constant currency basis, remained consistent as compared to the Prior Year Quarter, driven by the fluctuations in parts and service same store revenues, as discussed above.
F&I same store gross profit, on a constant currency basis, outperformed the Prior Year Quarter, as described above in F&I same store revenues.
Total same store gross margin in the U.K. decreased 39 basis points, primarily driven by underperformances in parts and service and used vehicle retail gross margins. This decrease was partially offset by improvements in used vehicle wholesale gross margins.
38
SG&A Expenses
SG&A as a percentage of gross profit increased by 113 and 199 basis points on an as reported and same store basis, respectively, compared to the Prior Year Quarter.
Total SG&A expenses in the U.K. during the Current Quarter increased $27.6 million, or 18.9%, as compared to the Prior Year Quarter. Total same store SG&A expenses in the U.K. during the Current Quarter increased $4.7 million, or 3.4%, as compared to the Prior Year Quarter, due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates. On a constant currency basis, total same store SG&A expenses remained consistent, as increases on a total same store basis were primarily driven by higher employee related costs, loaner vehicle and facility costs, offset by lower professional and legal fees, compared to the Prior Year Quarter.

Total same store revenues in the U.K. during the Current Year increased $133.6 million, or 4.8%, as compared to the Prior Year, driven by outperformances across all lines of business except new vehicle retail. On a constant currency basis, same store revenues increased 1.8%, for the same outperformances.
New vehicle retail same store revenues, on a constant currency basis, underperformed the Prior Year, driven by less units sold, partially offset by higher pricing. We ended the Current Year with a U.K. new vehicle inventory supply of 20 days, three days lower than the Prior Year.
Used vehicle retail same store revenues, on a constant currency basis, outperformed the Prior Year, primarily driven by more units sold.
Used vehicle wholesale same store revenues, on a constant currency basis, outperformed the Prior Year, primarily driven by an increase in wholesale used vehicle units sold.
Parts and service same store revenues, on a constant currency basis, outperformed the Prior Year, driven by an increase in customer pay revenues, partially offset by decreases in warranty and wholesale revenues. We have invested in improvements to our U.K. customer contact center, streamlining operations to make scheduling appointments easier for customers, resulting in an increase in customer pay parts and service activity driving an increase in revenues as compared to the Prior Year.
F&I, net same store revenues, on a constant currency basis, outperformed the Prior Year, driven by higher income per contract and higher penetration on most of our F&I products.
Gross Profit
Total gross profit in the U.K. during the Current Year increased $251.9 million, or 66.9%, as compared to the Prior Year Quarter, driven by the acquisition of stores and higher same store gross profit.
Total same store gross profit in the U.K. during the Current Year increased $20.4 million, or 5.6%, as compared to the Prior Year. On a constant currency basis, total same store gross profit increased 2.6%, driven by increases in F&I, parts and service and used vehicle wholesale, partially offset by downward pressure on new and used vehicle retail margins.
New vehicle retail same store gross profit, on a constant currency basis, underperformed the Prior Year, primarily due to a decrease in units sold, coupled with a decrease in new vehicle retail gross profit per unit sold.
Used vehicle retail same store gross profit, on a constant currency basis, underperformed the Prior Year, driven by a decrease in used vehicle retail same store gross profit per unit sold, partially offset by an increase in used vehicle retail units sold.
Parts and service same store gross profit, on a constant currency basis, outperformed the Prior Year, driven by increases in parts and service same store revenues, as discussed above.
F&I same store gross profit, on a constant currency basis, outperformed the Prior Year, as described above in F&I same store revenues.
Total same store gross margin in the U.K. increased 10 basis points, primarily driven by improvements in used vehicle wholesale. This increase was partially offset by underperformances in new and used vehicle retail.
42
SG&A Expenses

Total same store SG&A expenses in the U.K. during the Current Year increased $19.2 million, or 6.5%, as compared to the Prior Year, partially due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates. On a constant currency basis, total same store SG&A expenses increased 3.5%. These increases on a total same store basis were primarily driven by higher employee related costs, loaner vehicle and facility costs, offset by lower professional and legal fees, compared to the Prior Year.

Depreciation and Amortization Expense
Depreciation and amortization expense for the Current Quarter and Current Year was higher compared to the Prior Year Quarter and Prior Year, primarily driven by acquired property and equipment in our U.S. and U.K. regions, as we continue to strategically add dealership related real estate and facilities to our investment portfolio and make improvements to our existing facilities intended to enhance the profitability of our dealerships and improve the overall customer experience.
Asset Impairments
Asset impairments totaled $123.9 million in the Current Quarter and $124.6 million in the Current Year. During the Current Year, we recognized goodwill, intangible franchise rights and fixed asset impairment charges of $93.0 million, $23.9 million and $7.7 million, respectively, primarily in the U.K. reporting unit.
Refer to Note 4. Intangible Franchise Rights and Goodwill within our Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion.
Restructuring Charges
During the Current Quarter and Current Year, we incurred $1.6 million and $20.3 million of restructuring charges in the U.K., respectively. Restructuring charges primarily consist of planned workforce realignment, strategic closing of certain facilities and systems integrations, among other efforts to increase operational efficiency and profitability in connection with the integration of the Inchcape Retail acquisition with our U.K. business. The Company anticipates implementing further restructuring plans in the U.K. in future periods to reduce costs.
Refer to Note 5. Restructuring within our Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion of our restructuring plan.
43
Floorplan Interest Expense
Our floorplan interest expense fluctuates with changes in our outstanding borrowings and associated interest rates, which are based on SOFR, the U.S. prime rate or other benchmark rates. Outstanding borrowings largely fluctuate based on our levels of new and used vehicle inventory. To mitigate the impact of interest rate fluctuations, we employ an interest rate hedging strategy, whereby we swap variable interest rate exposure on a portion of our borrowings for a fixed interest rate.
Total floorplan interest expense during the Current Quarter decreased $7.5 million, or 24.0%, as compared to the Prior Year Quarter. For the Current Year, floorplan interest expense increased $0.6 million, or 0.8%, as compared to the Prior Year. The decrease in floorplan interest expense during the Current Quarter was driven primarily by a decrease in new vehicle inventories coupled with decreased floorplan interest rates compared to the Prior Year Quarter. Floorplan interest expense during the Current Year remained flat.
Refer to Note 8. Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements within our Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional discussion of interest rate swaps.
Other Interest Expense, Net
Other interest expense, net consists of interest charges primarily on our 4.00% Senior Notes, 6.375% Senior Notes, real estate related debt and other debt, partially offset by interest income.
Other interest expense, net during the Current Quarter, increased $8.2 million, or 20.6%, as compared to the Prior Year Quarter. For the Current Year, other interest expense, net, increased $27.9 million, or 27.3%, as compared to the Prior Year. The increase in other interest expense, net during the Current Quarter and Current Year was primarily attributable to interest expense associated with the 6.375% Senior Notes issued in 2024, as well as interest expense attributable to the Acquisition Line and other debt. Refer to Note 10. Debt within our Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional discussion of our debt.
Provision for Income Taxes
Provision for income taxes of $23.0 million during the Current Quarter decreased by $19.4 million, or 45.7%, as compared to the Prior Year Quarter. For the Current Year, our provision for income taxes of $106.8 million decreased by $26.7 million, or 20.0%, as compared to the Prior Year. The tax expense decrease in the Current Quarter and Current Year, as compared to the Prior Year Quarter and Prior Year, was primarily due to lower pre-tax income. Our Current Quarter effective tax rate of 63.7% was higher than the Prior Year Quarter’s effective tax rate of 26.6%, primarily due to the non-deductible U.K. goodwill impairment of $93.0 million in the Current Quarter compared to the Prior Year Quarter.
We believe that it is more-likely-than-not that our deferred tax assets, net of valuation allowances provided, will be realized, based primarily on assumptions of our future taxable income, considering future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences.

Our liquidity and capital resources are primarily derived from cash on hand, cash temporarily invested as a pay down of our U.S. Floorplan Line and FMCC Facility levels (refer to Note 11. Floorplan Notes Payable within our Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information), cash from operations, borrowings under our credit facilities, working capital, dealership and real estate acquisition financing and proceeds from debt and equity offerings. We anticipate we will generate sufficient cash flows from operations, coupled with cash on hand and available borrowing capacity under our credit facilities, to fund our working capital requirements, service our debt and meet any other recurring operating expenditures.
Available Liquidity Resources

Cash Flows
We arrange our new and used vehicle inventory floorplan financing through lenders affiliated with our vehicle manufacturers and our Revolving Credit Facility. In accordance with U.S. GAAP, we report floorplan financed with lenders affiliated with our vehicle manufacturers (excluding the cash flows from or to manufacturer-affiliated lenders participating in our syndicated lending group) within Cash Flows from Operating Activities in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. We report floorplan financed with the Revolving Credit Facility (including the cash flows from or to manufacturer-affiliated lenders participating in the facility) and other credit facilities in the U.K. unaffiliated with our manufacturer partners, within Cash Flows from Financing Activities in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Refer to Note 11. Floorplan Notes Payable within our Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional discussion of our Revolving Credit Facility.
However, we believe that all floorplan financing of inventory purchases in the normal course of business should correspond with the related inventory activity and be classified as an operating activity. As a result, we use the non-GAAP measure “Adjusted net cash provided by/used in operating activities” and “Adjusted net cash provided by/used in financing activities” to further evaluate our cash flows. We believe that this classification eliminates excess volatility in our operating cash flows prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. In addition, floorplan financing associated with dealership acquisitions and dispositions are classified as investing activities on an adjusted basis to eliminate excess volatility in our operating cash flows prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

Sources and Uses of Liquidity from Operating Activities — Nine Months Ended September 30, 2025 Compared to 2024
For the Current Year, net cash provided by operating activities increased by $191.6 million, as compared to the Prior Year. On an adjusted basis for the same period, adjusted net cash provided by operating activities increased by $44.8 million. The increase on an adjusted basis was primarily driven by a $335.2 million decrease in inventories and asset impairment charges of $129.1 million, partially offset by a $121.7 million decrease in net income and $305.5 million decrease in floorplan notes payable - manufacturer affiliates.
Refer to Note 4. Intangible Franchise Rights and Goodwill within our Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion of the asset impairment charges.
Sources and Uses of Liquidity from Investing Activities — Nine Months Ended September 30, 2025 Compared to 2024
For the Current Year, net cash used in investing activities decreased by $550.2 million, as compared to the Prior Year. On an adjusted basis for the same period, adjusted net cash used in investing activities decreased by $564.8 million, primarily due to a $707.1 million decrease in acquisition activity and a $30.2 million decrease in escrow payments for acquisitions, partially offset by a $123.4 million decrease in proceeds from the disposition of franchises and property and equipment and a $39.6 million increase in purchases of property and equipment, including real estate.
45
Capital Expenditures
Our capital expenditures include costs to extend the useful lives of current dealership facilities, as well as to start or expand operations. In general, expenditures relating to the construction or expansion of dealership facilities are driven by dealership acquisition activity, new franchises being granted to us by a manufacturer, significant growth in sales at an existing facility, relocation opportunities or manufacturer imaging programs. We critically evaluate all planned future capital spending, working closely with our manufacturer partners to maximize the return on our investments.
For the Current Year, $192.2 million was used to purchase property and equipment.
Sources and Uses of Liquidity from Financing Activities — Nine Months Ended September 30, 2025 Compared to 2024
For the Current Year, net cash provided by financing activities decreased by $756.5 million, as compared to the Prior Year. On an adjusted basis for the same period, adjusted net cash provided by financing activities decreased by $624.3 million. The decrease in net cash provided by financing activities on an adjusted basis was primarily driven by the issuance of $500 million of 6.375% Senior Notes in the Prior Year, decreases in net borrowings of real estate-related and other debt of $492.2 million, decreases in net borrowings on our U.S. Floorplan line of $290.1 million (representing the net cash activity in our floorplan offset account), and a $120.2 million increase in repurchases of common stock. These decreases were partially offset by a $773.0 million increase in net borrowings on the Acquisition Line.
Credit Facilities, Debt Instruments and Other Financing Arrangements
Our various credit facilities, debt instruments and other financing arrangements are used to finance the purchase of inventory and real estate, provide acquisition funding and provide working capital for general corporate purposes.
The following table summarizes the commitment of our credit facilities as of September 30, 2025 (in millions):

(1) The available balance at September 30, 2025, includes $402.9 million of immediately available funds. The remaining available balance can be used for vehicle inventory financing.
(2) The outstanding balance of $721.8 million is related to outstanding letters of credit of $11.8 million and $710.0 million in USD borrowings. The available borrowings may be limited from time to time, based on certain debt covenant calculations, and as a result, the outstanding balance plus available borrowings may not equal the total commitment.
(3) The available balance at September 30, 2025, includes no immediately available funds. The remaining available balance can be used for Ford new vehicle inventory financing.
(4) The available balance at September 30, 2025, includes no immediately available funds. The remaining available balance can be used for General Motors new and loaner vehicle inventory financing.
(5) The outstanding balance excludes $594.6 million of borrowings with manufacturer-affiliates and third-party financial institutions for foreign and loaner vehicle financing not associated with any of our U.S. credit facilities.
We have other credit facilities in the U.S. and the U.K. with third-party financial institutions, most of which are affiliated with the automobile manufacturers that provide financing for portions of our new, used and rental vehicle inventories. In addition, we have outstanding debt instruments, including our 4.00% and 6.375% Senior Notes, as well as real estate related and other debt instruments. Refer to Note 10. Debt within our Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.
Covenants
Our Revolving Credit Facility, indentures governing our 4.00% and 6.375% Senior Notes and certain mortgage term loans contain customary financial and operating covenants that place restrictions on us, including our ability to incur additional indebtedness, create liens or to sell or otherwise dispose of assets and to merge or consolidate with other entities. Certain of our mortgage agreements contain cross-default provisions that, in the event of a default of certain mortgage agreements and of our Revolving Credit Facility, could trigger an uncured default.
46
As of September 30, 2025, we were in compliance with the requirements of the financial covenants under our debt agreements. We are required to maintain the ratios detailed in the following table:
| As of September 30, 2025 | |||||||||||
| Required | Actual | ||||||||||
| Total adjusted leverage ratio | < 5.75 | 2.90 | |||||||||
| Fixed charge coverage ratio | > 1.20 | 3.50 | |||||||||
Based on our position as of September 30, 2025, and our outlook as discussed within Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, we believe we have sufficient liquidity and do not anticipate any material liquidity constraints or issues with our ability to remain in compliance with our debt covenants.
Refer to Note 10. Debt and Note 11. Floorplan Notes Payable within our Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion of our debt instruments, credit facilities and other financing arrangements existing as of September 30, 2025.
Share Repurchases and Dividends
From time to time, our Board of Directors authorizes the repurchase of shares of our common stock up to a certain monetary limit. On November 12, 2024, our Board of Directors increased the share repurchase authorization to $500.0 million. During the Current Year, 587,437 shares were repurchased, at an average price of $425.22 per share, for a total of $249.8 million, excluding excise taxes of $1.9 million. As of September 30, 2025, we had $226.3 million available under our current share repurchase authorization.
During the Current Year, our Board of Directors approved an increase in the 2025 annual dividend rate to $2.00 per share, which represents an increase of 6%, or $0.12, as compared to the 2024 annual dividend rate of $1.88 per share. Consistent with this increase, a quarterly cash dividend of $0.50 per share on all shares of our common stock was approved during the Current Quarter, which resulted in $6.4 million paid to common shareholders and $0.1 million to unvested restricted stock award holders.
Future share repurchases and the payment of any future dividends are subject to the business judgment of our Board of Directors, taking into consideration our historical and projected results of operations, financial condition, cash flows, capital requirements, covenant compliance, changes in laws and regulations, current economic environment and other factors considered relevant.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
For quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk affecting us, refer to Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk in our 2024 Form 10-K. Our exposure to market risk has not changed materially since December 31, 2024.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As required by Rule 13a-15(b) under the Exchange Act, we have evaluated, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure and is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Based upon that evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 2025, at the reasonable assurance level.
47
Our management, including our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures can prevent all possible errors or fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that objectives of the control system are met. There are inherent limitations in all control systems, including the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple errors or mistakes. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the intentional acts of one or more persons. The design of any system of controls is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events and while our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to be effective under circumstances where they should reasonably be expected to operate effectively, there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Because of the inherent limitations in any control system, misstatements due to possible errors or fraud may occur and not be detected.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
During the three months ended September 30, 2025, there were no changes in our system of internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
48
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
We are not party to any legal proceedings, including class action lawsuits that, individually or in the aggregate, are reasonably expected to have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition or cash flows. Refer to Note 13. Commitments and Contingencies within our Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for a discussion of our legal proceedings.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
Except as set forth below, during the Current Quarter, there were no changes to the Risk Factors disclosed in Item 1A. Risk Factors of our 2024 Form 10-K.
Existing and potential new trade policies, such as tariffs, could adversely affect our operations, costs and business.
President Donald Trump has issued a series of executive orders since taking office in January 2025, including executive orders regarding tariffs. Refer to Part I, Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Recent Events, for additional information regarding these executive orders, including those related to tariffs.
On April 2, 2025, President Donald Trump signed an executive order setting a 10 percent baseline tariff on imports, with higher rates for countries running trade surpluses with the U.S. By April 9, 2025, a follow-up order paused most of the higher reciprocal tariffs for 90 days but kept the 10 percent baseline and raised Chinese tariffs. On July 7, 2025, President Donald Trump extended the tariff modifications through August 1, 2025. On August 11, 2025, President Donald Trump further extended the suspension of country-specific reciprocal tariff rates on Chinese goods and kept the 10% rate in place through November 10, 2025. Public statements from members of the Trump Administration and President Donald Trump, himself, have indicated that negotiations are continuing with various foreign nations, although an extension of the tariff modification deadline beyond the November 10, 2025 deadline cannot be predicted with certainty at this time.
On March 26, 2025, President Donald Trump signed a proclamation under Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act imposing a 25 percent tariff on imported automobiles and certain automobile parts. Subsequent procedures issued by the U.S. Department of Commerce provided partial relief for vehicles qualifying under the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement and allowed manufacturers with U.S. assembly operations to apply for offsets on parts tariffs. In August 2025, a federal appeals court limited certain tariff powers under emergency statutes, but the Section 232 automobile tariffs remain in effect.
While the possibility exists for delays, reductions or exemptions of the automotive and reciprocal tariffs, the potential impacts of the tariffs described above remain uncertain and may cause a significant impact on the price of our products as well as the future mix of and demand for vehicles provided by our manufacturers, as well as alter the mix of supply and demand for used vehicles. To the extent any such tariffs remain in place for a sustained period of time, or in the event a global or domestic recession results therefrom, the disposable income of our customers could be significantly reduced, which may result in our customers deciding to delay new or used vehicle purchases or vehicle maintenance and repairs, or forego them entirely, each of which could adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition. Additionally, reciprocal tariffs, tariffs on steel, aluminum, copper and other materials, and the elevated tariffs against China could negatively impact business or consumer sentiment, demand for our products, our manufacturers’ global supply chains and the United States or global economy generally. Manufacturers’ supply chain dependencies and production facility locations vary (and planned facility locations may, in response to threatened tariffs and trade barriers, be changed), and as a result, certain manufacturers could be impacted more significantly by the imposition of tariffs than others.
Additional actions taken by the U.S. that restrict or could impact the economics of trade — including additional tariffs, trade barriers and other similar measures — could have the potential to further disrupt existing supply chains and trigger retaliatory efforts by other countries, including the imposition of tariffs, raising taxation, setting foreign exchange or capital controls, or establishing embargoes, sanctions, or other import/export restrictions, thereby negatively impacting our business, both directly and indirectly. These developments, or the possibility that more of them could occur, may materially create or increase business uncertainty and could adversely affect the global economy and stability of global financial markets, potentially reducing trade and depressing economic activity, including demand for our products. Such changes in international trade policies may result in direct impacts to our business or indirectly to our customers or suppliers through increased costs, changes in business prospects or operating results, which could adversely affect our financial condition. The extent of such impacts cannot be predicted at this time.

(1) Our Board of Directors from time to time authorizes the repurchase of shares of our common stock up to a certain monetary limit. On November 12, 2024, our Board of Directors increased the share repurchase authorization to $500.0 million. Share repurchases may take place on the open market or otherwise, and all or part of the repurchases may be made pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 trading plans or in privately negotiated transactions. The timing of share repurchases are subject to the business judgment of our Board of Directors, taking into consideration our historical and projected results of operations, financial condition, cash flows, capital requirements, covenant compliance, changes in laws and regulations, current economic environment and other factors considered relevant.
As of September 30, 2025, we had $226.3 million available under our current share repurchase authorization. Our share repurchase authorization does not have an expiration date.

(b)Employee reaffirms his commitment to maintain confidentiality of all Company business, proprietary information and relationships and agrees not to disparage the Company, its employees, officers, and directors. Employee further acknowledges his understanding and agreement that all restrictive covenants contained in any equity awards previously granted to Employee shall survive and are incorporated into this Agreement as if fully restated herein and the Termination Date of this Agreement shall be used to determine any obligations which begin as of Employee’s termination of employment.
(c)Employee agrees that Daryl Kenningham and Vicki Shackelford have been designated as the only persons he will contact on matters related to this Agreement. Employee specifically agrees that he will not contact any other employee or director of the Company concerning these matters. Employee understands and agrees that, after the Effective Date, he is no longer authorized to incur any expenses or obligations or liabilities on behalf of the Company or to make or take any actions as an officer of the Company unless specifically instructed to do so by Daryl Kenningham.
(d)Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit or restrict Employee from lawfully: (i) initiating communications directly with, cooperating with, providing information to, causing information to be provided to, or otherwise assisting in an investigation by, any governmental authority regarding a possible violation of any law; (ii) responding to any inquiry or legal process directed to Employee from any such governmental authority; (iii) testifying, participating or otherwise assisting in any action or proceeding by any such governmental authority relating to a possible violation of law; or (iv) making any other disclosures that are protected under the whistleblower provisions of any applicable law.

Nothing in this Agreement requires Employee to obtain prior authorization before engaging in any conduct described in this paragraph, or to notify the Company that Employee has engaged in any such conduct.
5.Clawback Policy.

i.The parties hereby expressly agree and acknowledge that this release of liability of claims shall inure to the benefit of, and apply to, each of the Released Parties that are not signatories hereto, even though such Released Parties are not signatories to this Agreement, as the parties expressly agree and acknowledge that each such Released Party is a third-party beneficiary of Employee’s releases, covenants and representations set forth in this Agreement.
