Commentary

David Smith, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Sonic Automotive, stated, “Our quarterly results reflect another period of solid financial performance, including record third quarter revenues, gross profit and earnings per share. During the third quarter, we continued to see persistent consumer demand for new vehicles and sustained growth in our parts and service business, driving all-time record Fixed Operations gross profit. These trends have carried over from the first half of 2022, in spite of a challenging used vehicle environment and macroeconomic headwinds such as inflation, rising interest rates, and ongoing global new vehicle supply chain constraints. We believe Sonic’s ability to successfully navigate this environment demonstrates the strength of our diversified model and our unwavering commitment to generating long-term value for our key stakeholders.”

Jeff Dyke, President of Sonic Automotive, commented, “In the third quarter, we continued to strategically expand EchoPark’s nationwide distribution network. This expansion has been achieved both by growing geographically and through the launch of our new ecommerce platform, which was successfully rolled out this past June to 100% of our nationwide traffic at EchoPark.com. For the third quarter, omnichannel sales through our new ecommerce platform accounted for 31% of EchoPark’s retail unit sales volume, compared to 19% last quarter, as more guests continued to utilize our enhanced, omnichannel purchase experience. In addition to our growing digital presence, our new store openings during the quarter expanded the EchoPark Automotive brand reach to over 50% of the U.S. population. We remain committed to the expansion of the EchoPark Automotive brand and, with our progress to date, we remain well on track to reach 90% of the U.S. population by 2025.”

Heath Byrd, Chief Financial Officer of Sonic Automotive, added, “Despite supply chain challenges and today’s economic climate, our teammates continued to drive strong revenue and earnings performance throughout our organization. At the same time, our team has maintained its focus on cash flow generation and proactively managing expenses. We have made great progress related to the integration of the RFJ Auto acquisition and expect we will achieve further earnings synergies in future periods. Based on our strong financial performance, solid cash position, ample sources of liquidity and our present macroeconomic outlook, we believe Sonic remains well-positioned to build long-term value and deliver returns to our stockholders.”
