Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, should be read in conjunction with the accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and the notes thereto, as well as our 2023 Form 10-K.
Overview
We are a leading operator in the automotive retail industry. Through our omni-channel platform, we sell new and used cars and light trucks, arrange related vehicle financing, sell service and insurance contracts, provide automotive maintenance and repair services, and sell vehicle parts. We operate in geographically diverse markets that extend across 17 states in the U.S. and 34 towns and cities in the U.K. As of June 30, 2024, our retail network consisted of 147 dealerships in the U.S. and 55 dealerships in the U.K.
Recent Events
On June 19, 2024, we were informed of a cybersecurity incident experienced by CDK Global LLC (“CDK”), which resulted in service outages on CDK’s dealers’ systems (the “CDK Incident”). CDK provides clients in the automotive industry, including Group 1 dealerships in the U.S., with a software as a service platform (“SaaS platform”) used by dealerships in managing customer relationships, sales, financing, service, inventory and back-office operations. The CDK Incident temporarily disrupted our business applications and processes in our U.S. operations that rely on CDK’s dealers’ systems. Despite the CDK Incident, all Group 1 U.S. dealerships continued to conduct business using alternative processes until CDK’s dealers’ systems were available. On June 26, 2024, CDK restored service to us for the core DMS, at which time, subject to certain modified procedures, we resumed processing transactions through the CDK DMS. We do not expect the CDK Incident to have a material impact on our overall financial condition or on our ongoing results of operations.
On March 20, 2024, the Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) finalized new emissions standards for light and medium-duty vehicles, including passenger cars, vans, pickups, sedans and sport utility vehicles for model years 2027 through 2032 and beyond. The final rule sets new, strict standards intended to reduce air pollutant emissions, including greenhouse gas emissions. The EPA projects the final rule will accelerate the transition to, and availability of, clean vehicle technologies, including hybrid electric vehicles and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles. Although the future impact of these regulations on our operations cannot be predicted with certainty, the regulations may have a significant impact on the future mix and demand for vehicles provided by our manufacturers. We will continue to monitor the impact of the final regulations on our manufacturers and dealership operations.
The global economy continues to experience inflation. In response to higher than historical average inflationary pressures and challenging macroeconomic conditions, the U.S. Federal Reserve (the “Federal Reserve”), along with other central banks, including in the U.K., maintained interest rates at elevated levels throughout 2023 and during the six months ended June 30, 2024 (“Current Year”). Continued inflation reducing the disposable income of our customers, volatility in new vehicle availability and higher interest rates increasing the monthly cost of financing vehicles, contributed to used vehicle prices continuing to decline during the three months ended June 30, 2024 (“Current Quarter”). During the Current Quarter, the Federal Reserve decided to keep the current interest rates unchanged.
Critical Accounting Policies and Accounting Estimates
For discussion of our critical accounting policies and accounting estimates, refer to Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of our 2023 Form 10-K. There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies or accounting estimates since December 31, 2023.

Results of Operations
The “same store” amounts presented below include the results of dealerships and corporate headquarters for the identical months in each comparative period, commencing with the first full month in which we owned the dealership. Amounts related to divestitures are excluded from each comparative period, ending with the last full month in which we owned the dealership. Same store results provide a measurement of our ability to grow revenues and profitability of our existing stores and also provide a metric for peer group comparisons. For these reasons, same store results allow management to accurately manage and monitor the underlying performance of the business and is also useful to investors.
We evaluate our results of operations on both an as reported and a constant currency basis. The constant currency presentation, which is a non-GAAP measure, excludes the impact of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. Our primary foreign currency exposure is to the GBP. We believe providing constant currency information provides valuable supplemental information regarding our underlying business and results of operations, consistent with how we evaluate our performance. We calculate constant currency percentages by converting our current period reported results for entities reporting in currencies other than USD using comparative period exchange rates rather than the actual exchange rates in effect during the respective periods. The constant currency performance measures should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, the measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Additionally, we caution investors not to place undue reliance on non-GAAP measures, but also to consider them with the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measures. Our management also uses constant currency and adjusted cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities in conjunction with U.S. GAAP financial measures to assess our business, including communication with our Board of Directors, investors and industry analysts concerning financial performance. We disclose these non-GAAP measures and the related reconciliations because we believe investors use these metrics in evaluating longer-term period-over-period performance. These metrics also allow investors to better understand and evaluate the information used by management to assess operating performance.
Certain amounts in the financial statements may not compute due to rounding. All computations have been calculated using unrounded amounts for all periods presented.
Retail new vehicle units sold include new vehicle agency units sold under agency arrangements with certain manufacturers in the U.K. The agency units and related revenues are excluded from the calculation of the average sales price per unit sold for new vehicles due to their net presentation within revenues as only the sales commission is reported in revenues for dealerships operating under an agency arrangement. The agency units and related net revenues are included in the calculation of gross profit per unit sold.

U.S. Region — Three Months Ended June 30, 2024 Compared to 2023
Revenues
Total revenues in the U.S. during the Current Quarter increased $121.6 million, or 3.2%, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2023 (“Prior Year Quarter”), driven by the acquisition of stores, partially offset by lower same store revenues.
Total same store revenues in the U.S. during the Current Quarter decreased $66.2 million, or 1.8%, as compared to the Prior Year Quarter. This decrease was driven by lower revenues from new vehicle retail, used vehicle retail and wholesale, and parts and service, partially offset by higher F&I. The CDK Incident contributed to lower same store sales during the limited period of the CDK outage.
New vehicle retail same store revenues underperformed the Prior Year Quarter, driven by lower pricing, coupled with less units sold. Manufacturer vehicle deliveries increased in the Current Quarter and as a result, our inventory levels were higher than the Prior Year Quarter. Higher new vehicle supply compared to the Prior Year Quarter created downward pressure on pricing and margins. We ended the Current Quarter with a U.S. new vehicle inventory supply of 62 days, 35 days higher than the Prior Year Quarter.
Used vehicle retail same store revenues underperformed the Prior Year Quarter, primarily driven by lower used vehicle retail pricing, partially offset by more units sold.. Improved new vehicle supply, impacts from inflation reducing the disposable income of our customers and higher interest rates increasing the monthly cost of financing vehicles continued to create downward pricing pressure.
Parts and service same store revenues underperformed the Prior Year Quarter, driven by decreases in collision and wholesale revenues, partially offset by an increase in warranty revenues.
F&I same store revenues outperformed the Prior Year Quarter, primarily driven by higher same store used vehicle units sold, coupled with higher same store F&I gross profit per unit sold. Penetration rates for vehicle service contracts, new vehicle finance and other F&I products improved, contributing to the higher same store F&I gross profit per unit sold. OEM incentives have increased in the Current Quarter, leading to the improved new vehicle F&I penetration.
Gross Profit
Total gross profit in the U.S. during the Current Quarter decreased $1.9 million, or 0.3%, as compared to the Prior Year Quarter, driven by lower same store gross profit, partially offset by the acquisition of stores.
Total same store gross profit in the U.S. during the Current Quarter decreased $31.3 million, or 4.9%, as compared to the Prior Year Quarter, primarily driven by downward pressures on new vehicle margins.
New vehicle retail same store gross profit underperformed the Prior Year Quarter, driven by a decrease in same store gross profit per unit sold, coupled with a decrease in same store units sold. The decrease in same store gross profit per unit is due to higher deliveries from our OEMs and increasing inventory levels of new vehicles as described above.
Used vehicle retail same store gross profit outperformed the Prior Year Quarter, primarily driven by higher same store units sold. Our used vehicle wholesale same store gross profit underperformed the Prior Year Quarter, driven by a decrease in same store gross profit per unit sold, partially offset by an increase in same store units sold.
Parts and service same store gross profit slightly increased compared to the Prior Year Quarter, due to the change in mix of business activities.
F&I same store gross profit, outperformed the Prior Year, as described above for F&I same store revenues.
Total same store gross margin in the U.S. decreased 55 basis points, primarily driven by an underperformance in new vehicle retail for the reasons described above for same store gross profit per unit sold for new vehicle retail. This underperformance was partially offset by a slight improvement in parts and service gross margin due to the change in mix of business activities as described above in parts and service same store revenues.
SG&A Expenses
SG&A as a percentage of gross profit increased 226 basis points and increased 524 basis points on an as reported and same store basis, respectively, compared to the Prior Year Quarter.
Total SG&A expenses in the U.S. during the Current Quarter increased $13.9 million, or 3.4%, as compared to the Prior Year Quarter, primarily driven by higher same store SG&A expenses. Total same store SG&A expenses in the U.S. during the Current Quarter, increased $12.6 million, or 3.3%, as compared to the Prior Year Quarter, primarily driven by increased activity related to information technology equipment and services, advertising expenses, insurance expenses, loaner car and related expenses and legal fees. SG&A expenses also included $5.9 million in pre-tax one-time compensation payments to retain our field employees during the CDK Incident.

Total same store revenues in the U.K. during the Current Quarter increased $16.2 million, or 2.1%, as compared to the Prior Year Quarter, primarily driven by outperformances in new vehicle retail sales and parts and service, partially offset by lower used vehicle sales and F&I. On a constant currency basis, revenues increased 1.4%, for the same reasons.
New vehicle retail same store revenues, on a constant currency basis, outperformed the Prior Year Quarter, driven by more units sold, coupled with higher pricing. The shortage of new vehicle inventory, compared to pre-COVID-19 pandemic levels, despite recent manufacturers’ production improvements, drove strong pricing. We ended the Current Quarter with a U.K. new vehicle inventory supply of 35 days, six days higher than the Prior Year Quarter.
Used vehicle retail same store revenues, on a constant currency basis, underperformed the Prior Year Quarter, primarily driven by lower used vehicle retail pricing on a constant currency basis.
Used vehicle wholesale same store revenues, on a constant currency basis, underperformed the Prior Year Quarter, primarily driven by a decrease in wholesale used vehicle units sold.
Parts and service same store revenues, on a constant currency basis, outperformed the Prior Year Quarter, driven by i ncreases in customer pay, warranty and wholesale revenues reflecting increased business activity. W e have invested in improvements to our U.K. customer contact center, streamlining operations to make scheduling appointments easier for customers, resulting in an increase in parts and service activity driving an increase in revenues as compared to the Prior Year Quarter.
F&I same store revenues, on a constant currency basis, underperformed the Prior Year Quarter, primarily driven by decreases in income per contract for retail finance fees and service contracts.

U.K. Region — Six Months Ended June 30, 2024 Compared to 2023
Retail new vehicle units sold include new vehicle agency units. The agency units and related revenues are excluded from the calculation of the average sales price per unit sold for new vehicles as only the sales commission is reported within revenues. The agency units and related net revenues are included in the calculation of gross profit per unit sold. The GBP to USD foreign currency exchange rate has fluctuated from £1 to $1.266 at June 30, 2023 , to £1 to $1.265 at June 30, 2024 , or a decrease in the value of the GBP of 0.1 %.
Revenues
Total revenues in the U.K. during the Current Year increased $53.4 million, or 3.5%, as compared to the Prior Year.
Total same store revenues in the U.K. during the Current Year increased $53.3 million, or 3.5%, as compared to the Prior Year, primarily driven by outperformances in new vehicle retail sales and parts and service, partially offset by lower used vehicle sales and F&I. On a constant currency basis, same store revenues increased 0.8%, primarily driven by an outperformance in new vehicle retail sales and parts and service.
New vehicle retail same store revenues, on a constant currency basis, outperformed the Prior Year, driven by more units sold, coupled with higher pricing. The shortage of new vehicle inventory, compared to pre-COVID-19 pandemic levels, despite recent manufacturers’ production improvements, drove strong pricing. We ended the Current Year with a U.K. new vehicle inventory supply of 35 days, six days higher than the Prior Year.
Used vehicle retail same store revenues, on a constant currency basis, underperformed the Prior Year, primarily driven by lower used vehicle retail pricing on a constant currency basis, partially offset by more units sold.
Used vehicle wholesale same store revenues, on a constant currency basis, underperformed the Prior Year, primarily driven by a decrease in wholesale used vehicle units sold.
Parts and service same store revenues, on a constant currency basis, outperformed the Prior Year, driven by i ncreases in customer pay, warranty and wholesale revenues reflecting increased business activity. W e have invested in improvements to our U.K. customer contact center, streamlining operations to make scheduling appointments easier for customers, resulting in an increase in parts and service activity driving an increase in revenues as compared to the Prior Year.
F&I, net same store revenues, on a constant currency basis, underperformed the Prior Year, primarily driven by decreases in income per contract for retail finance fees and service contracts.
Gross Profit
Total gross profit in the U.K. during the Current Year decreased $13.9 million, or 6.4%, as compared to the Prior Year Quarter.
Total same store gross profit in the U.K. during the Current Year decreased $13.9 million, or 6.5%, as compared to the Prior Year. On a constant currency basis, total same store gross profit decreased 8.9%, driven by downward pressures on margins for all lines of business.

Floorplan interest expense $ 45.2 $ 28.2 $ 17.0 60.0 %
Other interest expense, net $ 62.7 $ 45.6 $ 17.1 37.5 %
Provision for income taxes $ 91.0 $ 105.2 $ (14.2) (13.5) %
Depreciation and Amortization Expense
Depreciation and amortization expense for the Current Quarter and Current Year was higher compared to the Prior Year Quarter and Prior Year, primarily driven by acquired property and equipment in our U.S. region, as we continue to strategically add dealership related real estate and facilities to our investment portfolio and make improvements to our existing facilities intended to enhance the profitability of our dealerships and improve the overall customer experience.
Floorplan Interest Expense
Our floorplan interest expense fluctuates with changes in our outstanding borrowings and associated interest rates, which are based on SOFR, the U.S. prime rate or other benchmark rates. Outstanding borrowings largely fluctuate based on our levels of new and used vehicle inventory. To mitigate the impact of interest rate fluctuations, we employ an interest rate hedging strategy, whereby we swap variable interest rate exposure on a portion of our borrowings for a fixed interest rate.
Total floorplan interest expense during the Current Quarter, increased $9.0 million, or 58.0%, as compared to the Prior Year Qua rter. For the Current Year, floorplan interest expense increased $17.0 million, or 60.0%, as compared to the Prior Year. The increase in floorplan interest expense during the Current Quarter and Current Year was driven primarily by an increase in inventories added to our floorplan due to improvements in manufacturer production as well as acquisitions, partially offset by realized gains on our interest rate swap portfolio due to increases in corresponding interest rates.
Refer to Note 6. Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements within our Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional discussion of interest rate swaps.

Other Interest Expense, Net
Other interest expense, net consists of interest charges primarily on our $750.0 million 4.00% Senior Notes due August 2028 (“4.00% Senior Notes”), real estate related debt and other debt, partially offset by interest income.
Other interest expense, net during the Current Quarter, increased $7.4 million, or 28.7%, as compared to the Prior Year Quarter. For the Current Year, other interest expense, net, increased $17.1 million, or 37.5%, as compared to the Prior Year. The increase in other interest expense, net during the Current Quarter and Current Year was primarily attributable to increased borrowings on the Acquisition Line, additional real estate related debt in our U.S. region and higher rates interest on existing borrowings. Additionally, the difference in the Current Year was partly due to a decrease in the gain recognized on the de-designation of mortgage interest rate swaps as compared to the Prior Year of approximately $3.8 million. Refer to Note 8. Debt within our Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional discussion of our debt. Refer to Note 6. Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements within our Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional discussion of the de-designation of the mortgage interest rate swap.
Provision for Income Taxes
Provision for income taxes of $45.2 million during the Current Quarter decreased by $12.4 million, or 21.6%, as compared to the Prior Year Quarter. For the Current Year, our provision for income taxes of $91.0 million decreased by $14.2 million or 13.5%, as compared to the Prior Year. The tax expense decrease in the Current Quarter and Current Year, as compared to the Prior Year Quarter and Prior Year, was primarily due to lower pre-tax book income. Our Current Quarter effective tax rate of 24.7% was lower than the Prior Year Quarter’s effective tax rate of 25.3%. The tax rate decrease was primarily due to the mix of earnings in the Current Quarter compared to the Prior Year Quarter.
We believe that it is more-likely-than-not that our deferred tax assets, net of valuation allowances provided, will be realized, based primarily on assumptions of our future taxable income, considering future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our liquidity and capital resources are primarily derived from cash on hand, cash temporarily invested as a pay down of our U.S. Floorplan Line and FMCC Facility levels (refer to Note 9. Floorplan Notes Payable in our Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information), cash from operations, borrowings under our credit facilities, working capital, dealership and real estate acquisition financing and proceeds from debt and equity offerings. We anticipate we will generate sufficient cash flows from operations, coupled with cash on hand and available borrowing capacity under our credit facilities, to fund our working capital requirements, service our debt and meet any other recurring operating expenditures.
Available Liquidity Resources
We had the following sources of liquidity available (in millions):
June 30, 2024
Cash and cash equivalents $ 64.4
Floorplan offset accounts 94.1
Available capacity under Acquisition Line 485.8
Total liquidity $ 644.3
Cash Flows
We arrange our new and used vehicle inventory floorplan financing through lenders affiliated with our vehicle manufacturers and our Revolving Credit Facility. In accordance with U.S. GAAP, we report floorplan financed with lenders affiliated with our vehicle manufacturers (excluding the cash flows from or to manufacturer-affiliated lenders participating in our syndicated lending group) within Cash Flows from Operating Activities in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. We report floorplan financed with the Revolving Credit Facility (including the cash flows from or to manufacturer-affiliated lenders participating in the facility) and other credit facilities in the U.K. unaffiliated with our manufacturer partners, within Cash Flows from Financing Activities in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Refer to Note 9. Floorplan Notes Payable within our Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional discussion of our Revolving Credit Facility.

However, we believe that all floorplan financing of inventory purchases in the normal course of business should correspond with the related inventory activity and be classified as an operating activity. As a result, we use the non-GAAP measure “Adjusted net cash provided by/used in operating activities” and “Adjusted net cash provided by/used in financing activities” to further evaluate our cash flows. We believe that this classification eliminates excess volatility in our operating cash flows prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. In addition, floorplan financing associated with dealership acquisitions and dispositions are classified as investing activities on an adjusted basis to eliminate excess volatility in our operating cash flows prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
The following table reconciles cash flows on a U.S. GAAP basis to the corresponding adjusted amounts (in millions):

Sources and Uses of Liquidity from Operating Activities — Six Months Ended June 30, 2024 Compared to 2023
For the Current Year, net cash provided by operating activities decreased by $109.2 million, as compared to the Prior Year. On an adjusted basis for the same period, adjusted net cash provided by operating activities decreased by $84.9 million. The decrease on an adjusted basis was primarily driven by an $81.7 million decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses, a $45.2 million increase in inventory levels and a $42.9 million decrease in net income, partially offset by a $111.8 million increase in floorplan notes payable — manufacturer affiliates.
Sources and Uses of Liquidity from Investing Activities — Six Months Ended June 30, 2024 Compared to 2023
For the Current Year, net cash used in investing activities increased by $299.8 million, as compared to the Prior Year. On an adjusted basis for the same period, adjusted net cash used in investing activities increased by $319.1 million, primarily due to a $341.4 million increase in acquisition activity, an $86.4 million increase in escrow payments for acquisitions and a $16.2 million increase in purchases of property and equipment, including real estate, partially offset by a $115.7 million increase in proceeds from disposition of franchises and property and equipment.
Capital Expenditures
Our capital expenditures include costs to extend the useful lives of current dealership facilities, as well as to start or expand operations. In general, expenditures relating to the construction or expansion of dealership facilities are driven by dealership acquisition activity, new franchises being granted to us by a manufacturer, significant growth in sales at an existing facility, relocation opportunities or manufacturer imaging programs. We critically evaluate all planned future capital spending, working closely with our manufacturer partners to maximize the return on our investments.
For the Current Year , $102.9 million was used to purchase property and equipment.

Sources and Uses of Liquidity from Financing Activities — Six Months Ended June 30, 2024 Compared to 2023
For the Current Year, net cash provided by financing activities increased by $443.4 million, as compared to the Prior Year. On an adjusted basis for the same period, adjusted net cash provided by financing activities increased by $438.3 million. The increase in net cash provided by financing activities on an adjusted basis was primarily driven by a $355.2 million increase in net borrowings of other debt, including real estate-related debt and increases in net borrowings on our U.S. Floorplan line of $295.1 million (representing the net cash activity in our floorplan offset account). These increases were partially offset by a $177.6 million increase in net repayments on the Acquisition Line and a $33.8 million increase in cash paid for share repurchases.

We have other credit facilities in the U.S. and the U.K. with third-party financial institutions, most of which are affiliated with the automobile manufacturers that provide financing for portions of our new, used and rental vehicle inventories. In addition, we have outstanding debt instruments, including our 4.00% Senior Notes, as well as real estate related and other debt instruments. Refer to Note 8. Debt in our Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.
Covenants
Our Revolving Credit Facility, indentures governing our 4.00% Senior Notes and certain mortgage term loans contain customary financial and operating covenants that place restrictions on us, including our ability to incur additional indebtedness, create liens or to sell or otherwise dispose of assets and to merge or consolidate with other entities. Certain of our mortgage agreements contain cross-default provisions that, in the event of a default of certain mortgage agreements and of our Revolving Credit Facility, could trigger an uncured default.
As of June 30, 2024, we were in compliance with the requirements of the financial covenants under our debt agreements. We are required to maintain the ratios detailed in the following table:
As of June 30, 2024
Required Actual
Total adjusted leverage ratio < 5.75 2.44
Fixed charge coverage ratio > 1.20 4.02
Based on our position as of June 30, 2024, and our outlook as discussed within Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, we believe we have sufficient liquidity and do not anticipate any material liquidity constraints or issues with our ability to remain in compliance with our debt covenants.
