Commentary

David Smith, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Sonic Automotive, stated, “We are proud of our team’s performance in the fourth quarter, delivering financial results that reflect our ability to leverage our diversified business model to adapt to rapidly changing market dynamics. During the quarter, we continued to realize the expected benefits of the strategic adjustments to our EchoPark business model, which showed improvement in year-over-year losses to help offset continued margin normalization in the franchised dealership segment. We remain confident that we have the right strategy, the right people, and the right culture to continue to grow our business and create long-term value for our stakeholders.”

Jeff Dyke, President of Sonic Automotive, commented, “While consumer affordability and used vehicle sourcing challenges persist, our EchoPark results in the fourth quarter demonstrate our team's valuable industry experience and the adaptability of our innovative EchoPark model. Based on recent performance and market trends, we remain confident in our path to achieve breakeven EchoPark segment adjusted EBITDA* in the first quarter of 2024, and expect to resume our disciplined long-term growth plans for EchoPark once used vehicle market conditions improve.”

Heath Byrd, Chief Financial Officer of Sonic Automotive, added, “Our diversified cash flow streams continued to benefit our overall financial position in the fourth quarter. As of December 31, 2023, we had $846 million of total liquidity, including $374 million in cash and floor plan deposits on hand. We believe we remain well-positioned to adapt to evolving market conditions and position the Company for success in 2024 and beyond.”

We believe that a quantitative reconciliation of such forward-looking information to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure cannot be made available without unreasonable efforts, because a reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures would require an estimate of future non-operating items such as impairment charges or gain/loss on property dispositions.
