The earnings call reflects a company in transition with positive steps in cost savings and revenue growth, particularly in new vehicles and Collision. However, challenges remain, particularly with leverage issues, the ongoing U.S. business divestiture, and uncertainties in the broader economic environment.

Company Guidance -

Q2 2025

During AutoCanada's Q1 2025 conference call, the guidance provided highlighted several key metrics and strategic initiatives. Revenue grew by 2.3% year-over-year, driven by gains in new vehicle sales and the Collision business, despite weaker performance in used vehicles and parts and service. The company achieved early cost wins, realizing $48.1 million in annualized run rate cost savings in Q1, contributing to a total of $57.1 million since the ACX operating method launch. Adjusted EBITDA margin expanded by 130 basis points due to cost reduction initiatives. Floorplan financing costs improved, benefiting from tighter inventory management. The company is focused on achieving $100 million in cost savings by the end of 2025, with a deliberate strategy to streamline operations, reduce leverage, and divest U.S. assets, which have been reclassified as discontinued operations. As of March 31, 2025, AutoCanada had access to $218.2 million under its revolving credit facility, with amendments providing covenant relief and flexibility for transformation efforts. Despite some encouraging demand trends, there are significant uncertainties, including tariff risks and macroeconomic pressures, leading the company to maintain a cautious near-term outlook.
