Earnings Call Summary
Earnings Call Sentiment|Positive
The call presented a largely positive operating and financial picture: record full-year revenues and gross profits, strong parts & service and F&I performance, robust cash generation, and active capital allocation (including sizable buybacks and targeted acquisitions). Offsetting these positives are concentrated challenges in the UK (volume and GPU pressure, competition and restructuring), moderation in vehicle GPUs (especially in luxury and used segments), some impairment charges, and near-term SG&A and leverage headwinds. Overall, the positives (record results, cash flow, operational improvements and clear remediation actions) outweigh the localized and addressable negatives, but the UK execution and GPU trends are watch points for 2026.Company Guidance

F&I Improvement and Virtual Adoption
F&I PRU in the UK increased ~13% (or $123) and F&I GPUs grew nearly 3% in the quarter (roughly $67 reported / $65 same-store), supported by broader adoption of virtual finance operations and higher product penetrations.
