Record Q3 revenues amid profit dip
Sonic Automotive posted record Q3 revenues of $4.0 billion, up 14% year-over-year, and gross profit of $615.5 million, up 13%, fueled by strong franchised dealership sales and a 42% surge in powersports revenues to $84.1 million. Yet net income fell 37% to $46.8 million due to higher medical costs and taxes; adjusted net income rose 13% to $49.5 million. The board hiked the quarterly dividend to $0.38 per share. Powersports hit records, but tariffs loom large.

Q3 FY2025 results
Sonic Automotive posted solid Q3 gains, with total revenues climbing 14% year-over-year to $3.97B, fueled by 19% growth in new vehicle sales to $1.90B and 6% in used vehicles to $1.25B, while parts and service rose 11% to $534M. Gross profit expanded 13% to $616M, lifting operating income 8% to $123M, though diluted EPS dipped to $1.33 from $2.13 amid a tougher tax hit. Acquisitions of five Jaguar Land Rover dealerships for $440M in 2025 added $264M goodwill and boosted franchised results, with YTD operating income up 45% to $244M despite $174M in non-cash impairments. Cash swelled to $89M, free cash flow hit $388M (derived), and debt eased to $1.49B with $307M revolver availability. Yet high competition squeezes pricing on new and used vehicles.

Q2 FY2025 results
Sonic Automotive posted Q2 revenue of $3.7B, up 6% y/y, fueled by 7% higher new vehicle sales and 12% growth in parts and service, though used vehicle revenue held flat. Gross profit climbed 12% to $602M, with margins expanding to 16.5% on stronger F&I and service contributions, but a $172M non-cash franchise impairment charge flipped operating income to a $23M loss from $108M y/y. YTD, revenue rose 7% to $7.3B, net income fell to $25M from $83M due to the impairment, while diluted EPS dropped to $0.72 from $2.39 on 34.7M shares. Acquisitions of four Jaguar Land Rover dealerships closed June 30 for $360M cash, adding $216M goodwill; cash swelled to $110M with $321M revolver availability, total debt at $1.5B. Free cash flow hit $253M y/y (derived). Yet tariffs on imports loom large.

Sonic's Q2 revenue surges 6%
Sonic Automotive posted Q2 revenues of $3.7 billion, up 6% year-over-year, with gross profit climbing 12% to $602.2 million despite a $172.4 million non-cash impairment charge that flipped net income to a $45.6 million loss. EchoPark hit record adjusted EBITDA of $16.4 million, up 128%, while the June 30 acquisition of four California Jaguar Land Rover dealerships positions Sonic as the top U.S. retailer for the brand, adding ~$500 million in annualized revenue. The board hiked the quarterly dividend 9% to $0.38 per share. Tariffs cloud demand, yet liquidity stands at $775 million.

Sonic Q1 revenues up 8%
Sonic Automotive posted Q1 2025 revenues of $3.7 billion, up 8% year-over-year, with net income surging 68% to $70.6 million amid a $30 million cyber insurance gain. EchoPark hit record quarterly gross profit of $63.9 million, up 21%, and adjusted EBITDA of $15.8 million, up 116%, while franchised dealerships saw same-store new vehicle sales rise 10% but gross profit per unit drop 17% to $3,089. The board hiked the quarterly dividend to $0.35 per share, payable July 15. Tariffs cloud pricing and demand, yet EchoPark's momentum bolsters resilience.
