Management Commentary
David Smith, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Sonic Automotive, stated, “We are proud of our team’s performance in the third quarter, delivering financial results that reflect our ability to leverage our diversified business model to adapt to changing market



dynamics. During the quarter, we realized the expected initial benefits of the strategic adjustments to our EchoPark business model, which combined with our growing powersports platform, provided sequential earnings growth to help offset margin normalization in the franchised dealership segment. We remain confident that we have the right strategy, the right people, and the right culture to continue to grow our business and create long-term value for our stakeholders.”

Jeff Dyke, President of Sonic Automotive, commented, “While consumer affordability and used vehicle sourcing continue to be a challenge, the substantial improvement in our EchoPark results in the third quarter demonstrate our team's valuable industry experience and the adaptability of our innovative EchoPark model. As we expected, despite reducing our EchoPark store footprint by 50%, in the third quarter we retailed 12% more vehicles than the second quarter and reduced our EchoPark adjusted EBITDA loss to $5.2 million, compared to a $31.8 million adjusted EBITDA loss in the second quarter of 2023. Based on recent market trends, we remain confident in our path to breakeven EchoPark segment adjusted EBITDA in the first quarter of 2024, and expect to resume our disciplined long-term growth plans for EchoPark as used vehicle market conditions continue to improve.”

Heath Byrd, Chief Financial Officer of Sonic Automotive, added, “Our diversified cash flow streams continued to benefit our overall financial position in the third quarter, while allowing us to return capital to our stockholders via share repurchases and an increase to our quarterly dividend. As of September 30, 2023, we had $797 million of liquidity, including $335 million in cash and floor plan deposits on hand. Heading into what is historically a seasonally strong fourth quarter for Sonic, we believe we remain well-positioned to adapt to evolving market conditions and position the Company for success in 2024 and beyond.”
