| Business Acquisitions and Dispositions | Business Acquisitions and Dispositions During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, we acquired five businesses in our Franchised Dealerships Segment and were awarded one franchise in our Powersports Segment, which was previously an authorized retail outlet in Sturgis, South Dakota. The businesses acquired in our Franchised Dealerships Segment were Jaguar Land Rover Los Angeles, Jaguar Land Rover Newport Beach, Jaguar Land Rover San Jose, Land Rover Pasadena and Jaguar Land Rover Santa Monica for an aggregate gross purchase price of approximately $440.3 million. The preliminary allocation of the aggregate gross purchase price included inventory of approximately $165.5 million, property and equipment of approximately $9.4 million, goodwill of approximately $263.9 million, other assets of approximately $2.0 million, right-of-use assets of $86.2 million, lease liabilities of $85.5 million, and other liabilities of approximately $1.2 million.
The accompanying consolidated statements of operations include revenue and earnings attributable to the businesses acquired during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 of approximately $137.6 million and $3.5 million, respectively.

Additionally, the total amount of goodwill from these acquisitions that is expected to be deductible for tax purposes related to these acquisitions is approximately $261.1 million.

9. Segment Information
As of September 30, 2025, Sonic had three operating segments: (1) the Franchised Dealerships Segment; (2) the EchoPark Segment; and (3) the Powersports Segment. Refer to Note 1, “Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” to the consolidated financial statements in Sonic’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 for additional discussion of our operating segments. Sonic has determined that its operating segments also represent its reportable segments.
The reportable segments identified above are the business activities of Sonic for which discrete financial information is available and for which operating results are regularly reviewed by Sonic’s chief operating decision maker to assess operating performance and allocate resources. Sonic’s chief operating decision maker is a group of three individuals consisting of: (1) the Company’s Chief Executive Officer; (2) the Company’s President; and (3) the Company’s Chief Financial Officer. The chief operating decision makers evaluate segment performance and allocate resources using metrics such as segment gross profit and segment income. These segment profit metrics are consistent across all segments and align with the way we measure profit on a consolidated basis. The accounting policies applied to segments follow those for the Company as a whole.
