Commentary
David Smith, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Sonic Automotive, stated, “We are extremely proud of our team’s performance in the fourth quarter, capping off another year of all-time record annual revenues and adjusted earnings per share. Our commitment to delivering an exceptional guest experience and our dedication to the growth and development of our teammates continue to pay dividends for our key stakeholders. As we execute our long-term strategic plan, we remain focused on leveraging growth opportunities across our diversified portfolio to maximize future earnings potential and to position Sonic Automotive for continued success in the future. To that end, we are pleased to announce further diversification of our retail portfolio with our newly created Powersports Segment, driving incremental growth opportunities by partnering with top powersports brands, including Harley-Davidson, Can-Am, Sea-Doo, Polaris, Kawasaki, Suzuki, Ducati, BMW, Honda, Indian Motorcycle and Yamaha. We are excited about the opportunity in this space and would like to welcome the teams from Black Hills Harley-Davidson in Sturgis, South Dakota, Team Mancuso Powersports in Houston, Texas, and Horny Toad Harley-Davidson in Temple, Texas to the Sonic Automotive family.”

Jeff Dyke, President of Sonic Automotive, commented, “Our franchised dealerships team has continued to successfully adapt to an unprecedented automotive retail environment, driving exceptional performance in 2022. Despite a challenging used vehicle industry backdrop, we remain committed to EchoPark’s long-term potential and are focused on executing strategic enhancements to the business model in 2023, while maintaining our target of 90% U.S. population coverage by 2025. We firmly believe in our team’s ability to adapt to an evolving automotive retail market and macroeconomic backdrop to drive toward achieving our long-term goals.”

Heath Byrd, Chief Financial Officer of Sonic Automotive, added, “Our outstanding results in 2022 speak to the strength of our diversified model, which has allowed us to focus on the long-term growth potential at EchoPark while also returning capital to our stockholders via our dividend and share repurchases. We remain committed to a disciplined, return-based capital allocation, balancing $454.8 million in remaining share repurchase authorization with prudent cash management in an uncertain macroeconomic



environment. We had $804.5 million of liquidity as of December 31, 2022, which we believe provides us flexibility to strategically deploy capital in 2023 and beyond to continue to deliver long-term returns for our stockholders.”
