Commentary

David Smith, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Sonic Automotive, stated, “We are proud of our team’s performance in the first quarter, with our diversified business model and commitment to returning capital to stockholders driving year-over-year growth in adjusted earnings per share* despite the continued normalization of new vehicle margins in our franchised dealerships segment. During the quarter, our EchoPark Segment results exceeded our previously communicated target for breakeven adjusted EBITDA*, and we are excited to report all-time record quarterly EchoPark Segment adjusted EBITDA* for the first quarter. We remain confident that we have the right strategy, the right people, and the right culture to continue to grow our diversified business and create long-term value for our stakeholders.”

Jeff Dyke, President of Sonic Automotive, commented, “Our EchoPark results in the first quarter demonstrate our team's valuable industry experience and the adaptability of our innovative EchoPark model, and validate the difficult decisions we made to right-size our EchoPark footprint over the last several quarters. Based on recent trends and our outlook for gradual improvement in the used vehicle market going forward, we remain confident in our ability to maintain positive quarterly EchoPark Segment adjusted EBITDA* for the remainder of 2024, driving significant year-over-year improvement in the EchoPark Segment to help mitigate the continuing effects of margin normalization in our Franchised Dealerships Segment.”

Heath Byrd, Chief Financial Officer of Sonic Automotive, added, “Our diversified cash flow streams continued to benefit our overall financial position in the first quarter. As of March 31, 2024, we had $847 million of total liquidity, including $335 million in cash and floor plan deposits on hand. We believe we remain well-positioned to adapt to evolving market conditions and position the Company for success in 2024 and beyond.”
