Earnings Call Summary
Earnings Call Date:Nov 07, 2024
|% Change Since: -8.01%
|Next Earnings Date:May 04, 2025
Earnings Call Sentiment|Neutral
The earnings call reflected a mix of strong revenue growth and consumer engagement, contrasted by challenges with stock lever dynamics, Autorama's operating loss, and OEM advertising. The introduction of the digital services tax also impacted margins. Overall, the sentiment of the call is balanced.Company Guidance
In the recent earnings call, Auto Trader reported robust financial and operational performance for the first half of their fiscal year, showcasing strong growth across various metrics. Group revenue increased by 8%, with Auto Trader's core business revenue up by 9%, and operating profit rising by 14%. Basic earnings per share saw a significant increase of 22%. The average revenue per retailer improved by 6.3% to £2,852 per month, supported by a successful pricing and product event, including the launch of the third Auto Trader Connect module. Although the company experienced a 5% increase in the number of vehicles transacted, this did not translate into a substantial rise in average live listings, leading to a negative stock lever outlook for the full year. The average number of monthly cross-platform visits reached 82.6 million, with engagement at 560 million minutes per month. Auto Trader also highlighted their commitment to sustainability, aiming for net zero carbon emissions by 2040, with emissions for the period reported at 45.4 thousand tons, primarily from Scope 3.
