Earnings Call Sentiment|Neutral
The earnings call reflects a balance between strong revenue and growth performance across several segments, such as the Franchised Dealerships and Powersports, and challenges like increased medical expenses and EchoPark segment struggles. While the company achieved record-breaking revenues, the impact of higher expenses and a decline in certain sales metrics, particularly in EchoPark and electric vehicles, presents concerns.
Company Guidance
During the Sonic Automotive Third Quarter 2025 Earnings Conference Call, management highlighted several key financial metrics and strategic initiatives. Reported GAAP EPS was $1.33 per share, while adjusted EPS was $1.41, reflecting a 12% increase year-over-year. The company achieved a record $4 billion in consolidated total revenues, marking a 14% year-over-year growth, with gross profit rising 13% and adjusted EBITDA up 11%. The Franchised Dealerships segment saw all-time record quarterly revenues of $3.4 billion, a 17% increase year-over-year, driven by increases in new and used retail volumes and fixed operations revenues. However, the quarter was affected by increased medical expenses and a higher-than-expected tax rate. EchoPark segment revenues were $523 million, down 4% year-over-year due to unexpected off-rental supply challenges, but the segment achieved a record GPU of $3,359 per unit. The Powersports segment continued to grow, with a 42% increase in revenues and a 74% rise in adjusted EBITDA year-over-year. The company ended the quarter with $815 million in available liquidity and announced a quarterly dividend of $0.38 per share. Looking ahead, Sonic Automotive plans to focus on growth across its segments and navigate potential market challenges such as tariffs and luxury vehicle inventory levels.
