Commentary
David Smith, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Sonic Automotive, stated, “I'm pleased to report that we continued to make great progress in our EchoPark Segment performance in the second quarter, with record second quarter Adjusted EBITDA* that outpaced our previous projections and sets the stage for continued growth in the second half of 2024 and beyond. Overall, the Sonic Automotive team continued to execute at a high level, despite operational challenges in the last 12 days of the second quarter as a result of the previously announced CDK Global (“CDK”) software outage. As of today, Sonic's access to the information systems provided by CDK has been restored, however we experienced operational disruptions throughout July related to the functionality of certain CDK customer lead applications, inventory management applications and related third-party application integrations with CDK. As a result of the business disruption caused by the CDK outage, we estimate our second quarter GAAP income before taxes was negatively impacted by approximately $30 million, or $0.64 in diluted earnings per share.”

Jeff Dyke, President of Sonic Automotive, commented, “Despite the short-term operational challenges associated with the CDK outage, our team remains dedicated to delivering an outstanding guest experience and executing our long-term strategic vision. Throughout the second quarter, we made great progress on our net 300 technician hiring initiative and continued to see improvement in our used vehicle business in both the Franchised Dealerships and EchoPark Segments. Given the used vehicle market's continued improvement, we maintain our guidance for positive quarterly EchoPark Segment adjusted EBITDA* for the remainder of 2024, which is expected to help mitigate the continuing effects of margin normalization in our Franchised Dealerships Segment on consolidated earnings potential.”

Heath Byrd, Chief Financial Officer of Sonic Automotive, added, “Our diversified cash flow streams continued to benefit our overall financial position in the second quarter, despite operational disruption from the CDK outage. As of June 30, 2024, we had $467 million in cash and floor plan deposits on hand, and approximately $885 million of total liquidity, before considering unencumbered real estate. We continue to maintain a conservative balance sheet approach, with the ability to deploy capital strategically as market conditions evolve.”
