CONDENSED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1. INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Basis of Presentation

These Consolidated Financial Statements contain unaudited information as of June 30, 2026, and for the three and

six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025. The unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared

pursuant to the rules and regulations for reporting on Form 10-Q. Accordingly, certain disclosures required by

accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for annual financial statements are not

included herein. In management’s opinion, these unaudited financial statements reflect all adjustments (which

include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the information when read in

conjunction with our 2025 audited Consolidated Financial Statements and the related notes thereto. The financial

information as of December 31, 2025, is derived from our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on

February 25, 2026. The results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the

results to be expected for the full year.

Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications of amounts previously reported have been made to the accompanying Consolidated

Financial Statements to maintain consistency and comparability between periods presented. Within our

Consolidated Statements of Operations, we combined used wholesale revenue with used retail revenue and now

present these revenues collectively as used vehicle revenue. In addition, we combined fleet revenue with new retail

revenue and now present these revenues collectively as new vehicle revenue.

These changes were made to better reflect how management evaluates our revenue performance and to improve

comparability with industry practice. The reclassifications had no impact on total revenue, gross profit, operating

income, net income, or cash flows for any period presented.

Interest income on finance receivables is recognized based on the contractual terms of each receivable and is

accrued until repayment, reaching non-accrual status, charge-off, or repossession. Direct costs associated with

originations are capitalized and expensed as an offset to interest income when recognized on the receivables.

The balances of finance receivables are made up of loans and finance leases secured by the related vehicles. More

than 99% of the portfolio is aged less than 60 days past due with less than 1% on non-accrual status.

Equity Method Investments

Our common stock voting interests in Pinewood Technologies, PLC (PINE.L), a U.K.-based automotive dealership

management system provider, increased from 25.50% to 31.95% in July 2025. The investment is accounted for as

an equity method investment. The investment is measured at fair value based on quoted market prices, and all fair

market value changes in the investment are recorded as unrealized gains or losses as a component of Other

income (expense), net in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The fair value of our investment was $129.5

million and $177.2 million as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. See Note 11 – Fair Value

Measurements.

Our investment in Wheels, Inc., an automotive fleet management provider, through Lithia Marubeni Mobility

Holdings (LMMH) consists of 26.5% of the common stock voting interests accounted for as an equity method

investment. The investment is measured at cost plus or minus our share of equity method investee income or loss

as a component of Other non-current assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The book value of our investment

was $217.0 million and $222.0 million as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. We received a

dividend of $9.8 million during the six months ended June 30, 2026. Using the cumulative earnings approach, this

dividend is classified within Operating Activities in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, as it is less than our

cumulative equity in the investee's earnings.

NOTE 7. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Contract Liabilities

We retain the obligation for various contracts sold to our customers and assumed in acquisitions. These amounts

are recorded as a contract liability. At the time of sale, we defer the full sale price and recognize the revenue based

on the rate at which we expect to incur further costs.

The amount of revenue recognized related to aftersales contract liabilities is calculated, net of cancellations, using

an input method, which most closely depicts performance of the contracts. Our contract liability balances associated

with aftersales were $532.7 million and $501.5 million as of June 30, 2026, and December 31, 2025, respectively;

we recognized $33.5 million and $68.3 million of revenue in the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, related

to our opening contract liability balances associated with aftersales.

The amount of revenue recognized related to operating lease vehicle contract liabilities is recognized evenly over

the life of the related lease contracts. Our contract liability balances associated with operating lease vehicles were

$144.7 million and $136.4 million as of June 30, 2026, and December 31, 2025, respectively; we recognized $14.5

million and $32.2 million of revenue in the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, related to our opening

contract liability balances associated with operating lease vehicles.

Our contract liability balances are included in Accrued liabilities and Deferred revenue.

Litigation

We are party to numerous legal proceedings arising in the normal course of our business. Although we do not

anticipate that the resolution of legal proceedings arising in the normal course of business will have a material

adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition, or cash flows, we cannot predict this with

certainty.

NOTE 10. EQUITY

Repurchases of Common Stock

Repurchases of our common stock occurred under a repurchase authorization granted by our Board and related to

shares withheld as part of the vesting of RSUs.

In May 2026, our Board approved an additional $500 million repurchase authorization of our common stock. This

authorization, when added to the amounts previously authorized by the Board for repurchase, brings the total

authorizations up to $3.7 billion. Share repurchases under our authorizations were as follows:


	Repurchases Occurring in 2026		Cumulative Repurchases as of June 30, 2026
	Shares	Average Price1	Shares	Average Price
Share Repurchase Authorization	1,795,491	$279.07	13,092,455	$231.39

1Price excludes excise taxes imposed under the Inflation Reduction Act of $4.8 million for the six months ended June 30,

2026.

As of June 30, 2026, we had $620.5 million available for repurchases pursuant to our share repurchase

authorizations from our Board in 2026 and prior years.

In addition, during 2026, we repurchased 115,286 shares at an average price of $332.28 per share, for a total of

$38.3 million, related to tax withholding associated with the vesting of RSUs. The repurchase of shares related to

tax withholding associated with stock awards does not reduce the number of shares available for repurchase as

approved by our Board.

NOTE 11. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Factors used in determining the fair value of our financial assets and liabilities are summarized into three broad

categories:

•Level 1 - quoted prices in active markets for identical securities;

•Level 2 - other significant observable inputs, including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates,

prepayment spreads, credit risk; and

•Level 3 - significant unobservable inputs, including our own assumptions in determining fair value.

We determined the carrying value of cash, restricted cash, cash equivalents, accounts receivable, trade payables,

accrued liabilities, finance receivables, and short-term borrowings approximate their fair values because of the

nature of their terms and current market rates of these instruments. We believe the carrying value of our variable

rate debt approximates fair value.

We have money market securities, which include restricted cash from collections on finance receivables, recorded

as a component of Cash, restricted cash, and cash equivalents in our Consolidated Balance Sheets, as well as

restricted cash on deposit in reserve accounts, recorded as a component of Other non-current assets in our

Consolidated Balance Sheets. These money market securities consist of highly liquid investments with original

maturities of three months or less and are classified as Level 1.

We have investments consisting of equity securities, available for sale debt securities, and equity method

investments with a fair value election. We calculated the estimated fair value of the equity securities, equity method

investments, and U.S. Treasury debt securities using quoted market prices (Level 1). The fair value of corporate and

municipal debt securities are measured using observable Level 2 market expectations at each measurement date.

See Note 6 – Investments.

We have fixed rate debt primarily consisting of amounts outstanding under our senior notes, non-recourse notes

payable, and real estate mortgages. We calculated the estimated fair value of the senior notes using quoted prices

for the identical liability (Level 1). The fair value of non-recourse notes payable are measured using observable

Level 2 market expectations at each measurement date. The calculated estimated fair values of the fixed rate real

estate mortgages and finance lease liabilities use a discounted cash flow methodology with estimated current


		NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS	16

Table of Contents

interest rates based on a similar risk profile and duration (Level 2). The fixed cash flows are discounted and

summed to compute the fair value of the debt.

We have derivative instruments consisting of an offsetting set of interest rate caps. The fair value of derivative

assets and liabilities are measured using observable Level 2 market expectations at each measurement date and is

recorded as other current assets, current liabilities and other long-term liabilities in the Consolidated Balance

Sheets.

Nonfinancial assets such as goodwill, franchise value, or other long-lived assets are measured and recorded at fair

value during a business combination or when there is an indicator of impairment. We evaluate our goodwill and

franchise value using a qualitative assessment process. If the qualitative factors determine that it is more likely than

not that the carrying value exceeds the fair value, we would further evaluate for potential impairment using a

quantitative assessment. The quantitative assessment estimates fair values using unobservable (Level 3) inputs by

discounting expected future cash flows of the store for franchise value, or reporting unit for goodwill. The forecasted

cash flows contain inherent uncertainties, including significant estimates and assumptions related to growth rates,

margins, working capital requirements, and cost of capital, for which we utilize certain market participant-based

assumptions we believe to be reasonable. We estimate the value of other long-lived assets that are recorded at fair

value on a non-recurring basis on a market valuation approach. We use prices and other relevant information

generated primarily by recent market transactions involving similar or comparable assets, as well as our historical

experience in divestitures, acquisitions and real estate transactions. Additionally, we may use a cost valuation

approach to value long-lived assets when a market valuation approach is unavailable. Under this approach, we

determine the cost to replace the service capacity of an asset, adjusted for physical and economic obsolescence.

When available, we use valuation inputs from independent valuation experts, such as real estate appraisers and

brokers, to corroborate our estimates of fair value. Real estate appraisers’ and brokers’ valuations are typically

developed using one or more valuation techniques including market, income and replacement cost approaches.

Because these valuations contain unobservable inputs, we classified the measurement of fair value of long-lived

assets as Level 3.

There were no changes to our valuation techniques during the six-month period ended June 30, 2026.

The PPA for the 2026 acquisitions is preliminary, as we have not obtained and evaluated all of the detailed

information necessary to finalize the opening balance sheet amounts in all respects. We recorded the PPA based

upon information that is currently available and recorded unallocated items as a component of Other non-current

assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

We expect all of the goodwill related to U.S. acquisitions in 2026 to be deductible for U.S. federal income tax

purposes.

In the three and six-month period ended June 30, 2026, we recorded $0.4 million and $0.7 million in acquisition-

related expenses as a component of SG&A expense. Comparatively, we recorded $0.1 million and $0.3 million of

acquisition-related expenses in the same period of 2025.

The following unaudited pro forma summary presents consolidated information as if all acquisitions in the three and

six-month periods ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 had occurred on January 1, 2025:

Diluted EPS attributable to Lithia Motors, Inc. common stockholders	11.61	10.01	15.85	18.05

We calculated these amounts by applying our accounting policies and estimates. The results of the acquired stores

have been adjusted to reflect the following: depreciation on a straight-line basis over the expected lives for property

and equipment, accounting for inventory on a specific identification method, and recognition of interest expense for

real estate financing related to stores where we purchased the facility. No nonrecurring proforma adjustments

directly attributable to the acquisitions are included in the reported proforma revenues and earnings.

NOTE 13. EARNINGS PER SHARE

We calculate basic EPS by dividing net income attributable to Lithia Motors, Inc. by the weighted average number of

common shares outstanding for the period, including vested RSU awards. We calculate diluted EPS by dividing net

income attributable to Lithia Motors, Inc. by the weighted average number of shares outstanding, adjusted for the

dilutive effect of unvested RSU awards and employee stock purchases.

NOTE 14. SEGMENTS

We operate in two reportable segments: Vehicle Operations and Financing Operations. Our Vehicle Operations

consists of all aspects of our auto merchandising and aftersales operations, excluding financing provided by our

Financing Operations. Our Financing Operations provides financing to customers buying and leasing retail vehicles

from our Vehicle Operations, as well as leasing vehicles from our fleet management services provider.

All other remaining unallocated corporate overhead expenses and internal charges are reported under Corporate

and Other. We do not utilize asset information by segment for purposes of assessing performance or allocating

resources and, as a result, we do not present such information.

The reportable segments identified above represent our business activities for which discrete financial information is

available and for which operating results are regularly provided and reviewed by our CODM to allocate resources

and assess performance. Our CODM is our Chief Executive Officer. The CODM assesses segment performance

using segment income, which is measured as net segment profit before taxes on a U.S. GAAP basis.

We do not regularly provide total asset information by segment to our CODM or utilize the information for purposes

of assessing performance or allocating resources and, as a result, we do not present such information. Certain

financing operations asset information including total managed receivables are used by the financing operations

segment manager to manage operations and are included in various reports regularly provided to our CODM. See

management offerings, and other synergistic adjacencies. We have delivered consistent profitable growth in a

massive and unconsolidated industry. Our highly diversified and competitively differentiated design provides us the

flexibility and scale to pursue our vision to modernize personal transportation solutions wherever, whenever and

however consumers desire. As of June 30, 2026, we operated 467 locations representing 59 brands in the United

We offer a wide array of products and services fulfilling the entire vehicle ownership lifecycle including new and

used vehicles, financing and insurance products, and aftersales automotive repair and maintenance services. We


		MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS	23

Table of Contents

strive for diversification in our products, services, brands, and geographic locations to reduce dependence on any

one manufacturer, reduce susceptibility to changing consumer preferences, manage market risk and maintain

profitability. Our diversification, along with our operating structure, provides a resilient and nimble business model.

We seek to provide customers with a seamless, blended online and physical retail experience, broad selection, and

access to specialized expertise and knowledge. Our comprehensive network provides convenient touch points for

customers and provides services throughout the vehicle life cycle. We seek to increase market share and optimize

profitability by focusing on the consumer experience and applying proprietary performance measurement systems

fueled by data science. Our Driveway and GreenCars brands and online customer portal complement our in-store

experiences in the United States and provide convenient, simple, and transparent platforms that serve as our e-

commerce home solutions and allow us to deliver differentiated, proprietary digital experiences. Enhancing our

business, our captive auto financing division allows us to provide financing solutions for customers and diversify our

business model with adjacent products.

Our long-term strategy to create value for our customers, team members and shareholders includes the following

elements:

Driving operational excellence, innovation and diversification

LAD builds magnetic customer loyalty across our 467 stores, our Driveway and GreenCars e-commerce platforms,

and our entire omnichannel ecosystem by focusing on convenient and transparent experiences supported by

proprietary data science. Our entrepreneurial model that emphasizes personal accountability for our team powers

efficient operations and allows dynamic responsiveness to each of our local markets. Our best-in-class performance

management reporting provides the foundation to enable high-performing teams to drive our platform’s full potential.

Investments across our ecosystem built a framework that is responsive to evolving consumer preferences, providing

a foundation that supports our current business and our ongoing expansion. These investments, particularly in our

digital strategies, connect our experienced, knowledgeable team members with our expansive inventory and

physical network of stores to ensure we are agile and adaptable. Additionally, we systematically explore and invest

in transformative adjacencies that are synergistic and complementary to our existing business, such as our captive

auto finance and fleet management offerings.

These investments support the foundational elements of our strategy. We seek to create durable customer loyalty in

our stores and our digital platforms, such as our My Driveway customer portal. These experiences and offerings,

backed by our extensive physical network, broad geographic reach, and customized digital offerings, empower our

people to provide transparent, flexible, and simple retail experiences.

Our performance-based culture is geared toward an incentive-based compensation structure for a majority of our

personnel. We develop pay plans that measure factors such as customer satisfaction, profitability, and individual

performance metrics. These plans reward team members for creating customer loyalty, achieving store potential,

developing high-performing talent, meeting and exceeding manufacturer requirements, and living our core values.

We centralize many administrative functions to drive efficiencies and streamline store-level operations. These

efficiencies allow our local managers to focus on serving customers to increase revenues and gross profit. Our

operations are supported by regional and corporate management, as well as dedicated training and personnel

development programs which allow us to share best practices across our network and develop talent.

Growth through acquisition and network optimization

Our acquisition growth strategy has diversified our business and been financially and culturally successful. Our

disciplined approach focuses on acquiring new vehicle franchises, which operate in markets ranging from mid-sized

regional markets to metropolitan markets. Acquisition of these businesses increases our proximity to consumers

throughout North America and the United Kingdom. While we target annual after tax return of more than 15% for our

acquisitions, we have averaged over a 25% return by the third year of ownership due to a disciplined approach

focusing on accretive, cash flow positive targets at reasonable valuations. In addition to being financially accretive,

acquisitions aim to drive network growth that improves our ability to serve customers through vast selection, greater

density, easy access, and the ability to leverage national branding and advertising.

As we focus on expanding our physical network of stores, one of the criteria we evaluate is a valuation multiple

between 3x to 6x of investment in intangibles to estimated annualized adjusted EBITDA, with various factors


		MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS	24

Table of Contents

including location, ability to expand our network and talent considered in determining value. We also target an

investment in intangibles as a percentage of annualized revenues in the range of 15% to 30%.

We regularly optimize and balance our network through strategic divestitures to ensure continued high performance.

We believe our disciplined approach provides us with attractive acquisition opportunities and expanded coast-to-

coast coverage.

Thoughtful capital allocation

We manage our liquidity and available cash to support our long-term plan focused on growth through acquisitions

and investments in our existing business, technology and adjacencies that expand and diversify our business

model. In the current market of elevated acquisition pricing, we have adjusted our free cash flow deployment

strategy. Under current conditions, including recent trends in our stock price, we may consider repurchases as a

more attractive use of funds than acquisitions. Our current free cash flow deployment strategy includes a target

allocation of 25% to 35% investment in acquisitions, 25% investment in capital expenditures, innovation, and

diversification and 40% to 50% in shareholder return in the form of dividends and share repurchases based on

current valuation trends in acquisitions relative to stock price performance. During the first six months of 2026, we

utilized $153.4 million for capital expenditures investing in our existing business and $221.7 million expanding our

network through acquisitions. We also provided shareholder return in the form of $25.7 million in dividends and

$534.0 million in share repurchases. As of June 30, 2026, we had available liquidity of approximately $1.3 billion,

which was comprised of $110.3 million in unrestricted cash, $67.0 million in marketable securities, and $1.1 billion

availability on our credit facilities.

Financial Performance

We experienced growth of revenue in 2026 compared to 2025, primarily driven by increases in used vehicle and

aftersales volume related to acquisitions. Total gross profit grew in 2026 compared to 2025, primarily driven by

acquisition growth and supported by same store increases in aftersales. New vehicle gross profit decreased

compared to 2025 due to continued normalization of margins. Net income declined in 2026 compared to 2025,

primarily as a result of our increase in SG&A as a percentage of gross profit and equity method investment losses.

Same Store Operating Data

We believe that same store comparisons are an important indicator of our financial performance. Same store

measures demonstrate our ability to grow revenues in our existing locations. As a result, same store measures have

been integrated into the discussion below.

Same store measures reflect results for stores that were operating in each comparison period and only include the

months when operations occurred in both periods. For example, a store acquired in May 2025 would be included in

same store operating data beginning in June 2026, after its first complete comparable month of operation. The

second quarter operating results for the same store comparisons would include results for that store in only the

month of June for both comparable periods.

New Vehicles

We believe that our new vehicle sales create incremental profit opportunities through certain manufacturer incentive

programs, arranging of third-party financing, vehicle service and insurance contracts, future resale of used vehicles

acquired through trade-in, and aftersales. Our leaders in each market continue to adapt to changing conditions,

respond to customer needs and manage inventory availability and selection.

Q2 2026 vs. Q2 2025

New vehicle revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2026 increased 2.7% compared to the same period of

2025, driven by acquisition activity. Same store new vehicle revenue decreased 1.5% due to a decrease in unit

volume of 2.2%, partially offset by an increase in average selling prices of 0.1%.

Same store new vehicle gross profit per unit decreased 11.1%, driven by a decrease in new vehicle gross profit

margins of 80 bps. Total same store new vehicle gross profit per unit, which includes the finance and insurance

decreased 4.1% due to a decrease in unit volume of 4.5% and a decrease in average selling prices of 0.4%.

Same store new vehicle gross profit per unit decreased 9.5%, driven by a decrease in new vehicle gross profit

margins of 60 bps. Total same store new vehicle gross profit per unit, which includes the finance and insurance

revenue generated from the sales of new vehicles, decreased $249 to $4,831.

Used Retail Vehicles

Used vehicle retail sales are a strategic focus for organic growth. We offer three categories of used vehicles:

manufacturer certified pre-owned (CPO) vehicles; core vehicles, or late-model vehicles with lower mileage; and

value autos, or vehicles with over 80,000 miles. We continue to focus on procuring vehicles across the full spectrum

of the addressable used vehicle market to provide customers with a wide selection meeting all levels of affordability,

driving increased used vehicle unit volumes. Our used vehicle operations provide an opportunity to generate sales

to customers unable or unwilling to purchase a new vehicle, sell brands other than the store’s new vehicle

franchise(s) and increase sales from finance and insurance and aftersales.

Q2 2026 vs. Q2 2025

Used vehicle retail revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2026 increased 1.4% compared to the same

period of 2025 driven by acquisition activity. On a same store basis, used vehicle retail revenue decreased 2.2%

due to a decrease in unit volume of 6.1%, partially offset by an increase in average selling prices of 4.2%.

generated from the sales of retail used vehicles, increased $138 to $3,621.

YTD 2026 vs. YTD 2025

of 2025 driven by acquisition activity and supported by same store performance. On a same store basis, used

vehicle retail sales increased 1.2% due to an increase in average selling prices of 4.0%, partially offset by a

decrease in unit volume of 2.5%. Total same store used vehicle retail gross profit per unit, which includes the

finance and insurance revenue generated from the sales of used retail vehicles, decreased $7 to $3,438.

Finance and Insurance

We believe that arranging vehicle financing is an important part of our ability to sell vehicles, and we attempt to

arrange financing for every vehicle we sell. We also offer related products such as extended warranties, insurance

contracts and vehicle and theft protection which promotes continued engagement with the consumer throughout the

ownership lifecycle.

Q2 2026 vs. Q2 2025

Total finance and insurance income decreased 2.0% in the three months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the

same period of 2025, driven by same store performance, offset by acquisition activity. Same store finance and

revenues decreased 4.4%. On a same store basis, our finance and insurance revenue per retail unit decreased $4

to $1,809.

Aftersales

We provide automotive repair and maintenance services for customers for the new vehicle brands sold by our

stores, as well as service and repairs for most other makes and models. These aftersales services are an integral

part of our customer retention and the largest contributor to our overall profitability. Earnings from aftersales

continue to prove to be more resilient during economic downturns, when owners tend to repair their existing

vehicles rather than buy new vehicles. We believe the increased number of units in operation will continue to benefit

our aftersales revenue in the coming years as more late-model vehicles age, necessitating repairs and

maintenance.

Q2 2026 vs. Q2 2025

Our aftersales revenue increased 3.9% in the three months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the same period of

2025, driven by same store performance and supported by acquisition activity.

We focus on retaining customers by offering competitively-priced routine maintenance and through our marketing

efforts. Customer pay revenue accounted for the largest share of our same-store aftersales revenue, representing

56.7% of the total.

Same store aftersales gross profit increased 3.1%. This increase was primarily due to increased volumes of

customer pay and warranty transactions. Overall same store aftersales gross margins increased 120 bps, primarily

as a result of increased customer pay gross margin of 110 bps and increased warranty gross margin of 150 bps.

YTD 2026 vs. YTD 2025

Our aftersales revenue increased 5.0% in the six months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the same period of

2025, driven by same store performance and supported by acquisition activity. Same store aftersales revenue

increased 2.4%, driven by an increase in customer pay revenues of 2.8% and an increase in warranty revenues of

3.4% compared to the prior year.

Same store aftersales gross profit increased 4.4%. This increase was primarily due to increased volume of

customer pay transactions. Overall same store aftersales gross margins increased 110 bps, primarily as a result of

increased customer pay margins of 110 bps and increased warranty gross margins of 100 bps.

Financing Operations

In the United States, Financing Operations is a captive lender, originating loans only from our stores and Driveway.

In Canada, Financing Operations originates loans and leases from both our Canadian stores and third-party

dealerships. In the United Kingdom, Financing Operations is related to our fleet funding and management division.

These product offerings add diversity to the business model and provide an opportunity to capture additional profits,

cash flows, and sales while managing our reliance on third-party finance sources.

Financing Operations income reflects the interest and fee income generated by the portfolio of auto loan and

finance lease receivables, plus the lease income generated by our net investment in operating leases, less the

interest expense associated with the debt utilized to fund the lending, including internal capital, a provision for

estimated loan and lease losses, depreciation on vehicles leased via operating leases, and directly-related

expenses.

3The credit scores represent FICO scores and reflect only receivables with obligors that have a FICO score at the time of

application. For receivables with co-borrowers, the FICO score is the primary borrower’s. FICO scores are not a significant

factor in our proprietary credit model, which relies on information from credit bureaus and other application information.

4Front-end loan-to-value represents the ratio of the amount financed to the total collateral value, which is measured as the

vehicle selling price plus applicable taxes, title and fees.

5Past due means loans at least 3 months old that are 30 or more days delinquent.

6The average recovery rate represents the average percentage of the outstanding principal balance we receive when a

vehicle is repossessed and liquidated, generally at wholesale auctions.

Q2 2026 vs. Q2 2025

Financing operations recorded higher income in the three months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the same

period of 2025, primarily due to the increased interest income resulting from the growth of the portfolio and a

decreased cost of funds, which collectively expanded total interest margin to 4.8%.

Loan originations increased in the three months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the same period of 2025, and

our penetration rate increased due to increased engagement with our stores. The weighted average contract rate of

loans originated in the three months ended June 30, 2026 decreased to 8.0%, compared with 8.7% in the same

period of 2025, primarily due to our maintaining competitive pricing following Federal Reserve rate cuts. The

decrease in annualized net charge-offs of past due accounts as a percentage of ending managed receivables

compared to the prior year reflects the increased credit quality of the portfolio as well as improved execution of our

collateral management team.

YTD 2026 vs. YTD 2025

Financing operations recorded higher income in the six months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the same period

of 2025, primarily due to increased interest income resulting from the growth of the portfolio and a decreased cost of

funds, resulting in an expansion of total interest margin to 4.8%.

The weighted average contract rate on loans originated in the six months ended June 30, 2026 decreased to 8.0%,

compared with 8.9% in the same period of 2025 as we decreased rates to maintain competitiveness following

Federal Reserve rate cuts. The decrease in provision expense as a percentage of receivables compared to the prior

year reflected lower net charge-offs, attributable to the increased credit quality of the portfolio and improved

servicing, as well as a decrease in the percentage of ending managed receivables constituted by the allowance for

loan losses. Other financing operations expenses as a percentage of average managed receivables was flat with

the same period of 2025 despite significant portfolio growth, reflecting improved operational performance and

economies of scale.

Effective income tax rate excluding non-core items 1	26.9%	26.0%	26.7%	26.0%

1See Non-GAAP Reconciliations for more details.

Our effective income tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2026 compared to last year was negatively affected

by a decrease in general business credits, offset by tax basis differences on divested assets in 2025. Excluding

non-core charges and acquired general business credits, we estimate our annual effective income tax rate to be

27.1%.

Non-GAAP Reconciliations

Non-GAAP measures do not have definitions under GAAP and may be defined differently by and not comparable to

similarly titled measures used by other companies. We caution you not to place undue reliance on such non-GAAP

measures and to consider them together with the most directly comparable GAAP measures. We believe each of

the non-GAAP financial measures below improves the transparency of our disclosures, provides a meaningful

presentation of our results from the core business operations because they exclude items not related to our ongoing

core business operations and other non-cash items, and improves the period-to-period comparability of our results

from the core business operations. We use these measures in conjunction with GAAP financial measures to assess

our business, including our compliance with covenants in our credit facility and in communications with our Board

concerning financial performance. These measures should not be considered an alternative to GAAP measures.

The following tables reconcile certain reported non-GAAP measures, which we refer to as “adjusted,” to the most

comparable GAAP measure from our Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We manage our liquidity and capital resources in the context of our overall business strategy, continually forecasting

and managing our cash, working capital balances and capital structure in a way that we believe will meet the short-

term and long-term obligations of our business while maintaining liquidity and financial flexibility. Our current free

cash flow deployment strategy includes a target allocation of 25% to 35% investment in acquisitions, 25%

investment in capital expenditures, innovation, and diversification and 40% to 50% in shareholder return in the form

of dividends and share repurchases based on current valuation trends in acquisitions relative to stock price

performance.

We believe we have sufficient sources of funding to meet our business requirements for the next 12 months and in

the longer term. Cash flows from operations and borrowings under our credit facilities are our main sources for

liquidity. In addition to the above sources of liquidity, potential sources to fund our business strategy include

financing of real estate and proceeds from debt or equity offerings. We evaluate all of these options and may select

one or more of them depending on overall capital needs and the availability and cost of capital, although no

assurances can be provided that these capital sources will be available in sufficient amounts or with terms

acceptable to us.

Information about our cash flows, by category, is presented in our Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. The

following table summarizes our cash flows:

Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities	555.1	(13.5)	568.6

Operating Activities

Cash used in operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2026 decreased $505.5 million compared to the

same period of 2025, primarily related to changes in inventories, net income, and finance receivables, partially

offset by changes in trade payables, unrealized investment loss, and other assets compared to the same period of

2025.

Borrowings from and repayments to our syndicated credit facilities related to our vehicle inventory floor plan

financing are presented as financing activities. To better understand the impact of changes in inventory, other

assets, and the associated financing, we also consider our adjusted net cash provided by operating activities to

include borrowings or repayments associated with our vehicle floor plan commitment and exclude the impact of our

finance receivables activity. Adjusted net cash provided by operating activities, a non-GAAP measure, is presented

below:


	Six Months Ended June 30,		Change

borrowings and adjusted operating cash flows by $1,138.3 million.

Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities totaled $351.8 million and $315.5 million, respectively, for the six months ended

June 30, 2026 and 2025.

Below are highlights of significant activity related to our cash flows from investing activities:


	Six Months Ended June 30,		Change
(In millions)	2026	2025	in Cash Flow
Capital expenditures	$(153.4)	$(148.8)	$(4.6)
Cash paid for acquisitions, net of cash acquired	(221.7)	(278.6)	56.9
Proceeds from sales of stores	21.0	104.4	(83.4)

Capital Expenditures

Below is a summary of our capital expenditure activities ($ in millions):

Many manufacturers provide assistance in the form of additional incentives or assistance if facilities meet specified

standards and requirements. We expect that certain facility upgrades and remodels will generate additional

manufacturer incentive payments. Also, tax laws allowing accelerated deductions for capital expenditures reduce

the overall investment needed and encourage accelerated project timelines.

We expect to use a portion of our future capital expenditures to upgrade facilities that we recently acquired. Our

initial evaluation of the investment return metrics applied to each acquisition contemplates this additional capital

investment, which is usually associated with manufacturer standards and requirements.

Capital expenditures for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to the same period of 2025 were higher for

existing facility purchases, maintenance, existing operations improvements and information technology, and lower

for new operations purchases and improvements.

If we undertake a significant capital commitment in the future, we expect to pay for the commitment out of existing

cash balances, construction financing and borrowings on one of our credit facilities. Upon completion of the

projects, we believe we would have the ability to secure long-term financing and general borrowings from third party

lenders for 70% to 90% of the amounts expended, although no assurances can be provided that these financings

will be available to us in sufficient amounts or on terms acceptable to us.

Acquisitions

We focus on acquiring stores at attractive purchase prices that meet our return thresholds and strategic objectives.

We look for acquisitions that diversify our brand and geographic mix as we continue to evaluate our portfolio to

minimize exposure to any one manufacturer and achieve financial returns.

We are able to subsequently floor new vehicle inventory acquired as part of an acquisition; however, the cash

generated by this transaction is recorded as borrowings on floor plan notes payable, non-trade.

authorizations. As of June 30, 2026, we had $620.5 million remaining available for repurchases and the

authorizations do not have expiration dates.

In the first six months of 2026, we declared and paid dividends on our common stock as follows:


Dividend paid:	Dividend amount per share	Total amount of dividend (in millions)

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

See Note 15 – Recent Accounting Pronouncements for discussion.

Critical Accounting Policies and Use of Estimates

There have been no material changes in the critical accounting policies and use of estimates described in our 2025

Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 25, 2026.

Seasonality and Quarterly Fluctuations

Our North American operations generally experience lower volumes in the first quarter of each year due to

consumer purchasing patterns and inclement weather in certain of our markets. As a result, financial performance is

expected to be lower during the first quarter than during the second, third and fourth quarters of each fiscal year.

Our U.K. operations generally experience higher volumes in the first and third quarters of each year, due primarily to

new vehicle registration practices in the United Kingdom. We believe that interest rates, levels of consumer debt,

consumer confidence and manufacturer sales incentives, as well as general economic conditions, also contribute to

fluctuations in sales and operating results.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a material current or

future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations,

liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.
