PENSKE AUTOMOTIVE GROUP, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
(In millions, except share and per share amounts)
1. Interim Financial Statements
Unless the context otherwise requires, the use of the terms "PAG," "we," "us," and "our" in these Notes to the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements refers to Penske Automotive Group, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries.
Business Overview and Concentrations
We are a diversified international transportation services company and one of the world's premier automotive and commercial truck retailers. We operate dealerships in the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, Germany, Italy, Japan, and Australia, and we are one of the largest retailers of commercial trucks in North America for Freightliner. We also distribute and retail commercial vehicles, diesel and gas engines, power systems, and related parts and services principally in Australia and New Zealand. Additionally, we own 28.9% of Penske Transportation Solutions, a business that manages one of the largest, most comprehensive and modern trucking fleets in North America with trucks, tractors, and trailers under lease, rental, and/or maintenance contracts, and provides innovative transportation, supply chain, and technology solutions to its customers.
Retail Automotive. As of September 30, 2024, we operated 360 retail automotive franchised dealerships, of which 149 are located in the U.S. and 211 are located outside of the U.S. The franchised dealerships outside of the U.S. are located primarily in the U.K. As of September 30, 2024, we also operated 16 used vehicle dealerships, with six dealerships in the U.S., nine dealerships in the U.K., and one dealership in Australia.
Each of our franchised dealerships offers a wide selection of new and used vehicles for sale. In addition to selling new and used vehicles, we generate higher-margin revenue at each of our dealerships through maintenance and repair services, the sale and placement of third-party finance and insurance products, third-party extended service and maintenance contracts, replacement and aftermarket automotive products, and at certain of our locations, collision repair services. We operate our franchised dealerships under franchise agreements with a number of automotive manufacturers and distributors that are subject to certain rights and restrictions typical of the industry. Beginning in 2023, we transitioned some of our dealerships in the U.K. and Europe to an agency model under which we receive a fee for facilitating the sale by the manufacturer of a new vehicle but do not hold the vehicle in inventory. Vehicles sold under this agency model are counted as new agency units sold instead of new retail units sold by us, and only the fee we receive from the manufacturer, not the price of the vehicle, is reported as new revenue (as opposed to previously recording all of the vehicle sale price as new revenue) with no corresponding cost of sale. We continue to provide new vehicle customer service under the agency model, and the agency model at this time has not changed our used vehicle sales operations or service and parts operations, although the long-term impact of the agency model at these dealerships, as well as other agency models proposed by our manufacturer partners, is uncertain.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we acquired 16 retail automotive franchises and opened one retail automotive franchise in the U.K., acquired two Ford franchises and one Chrysler/Dodge/Jeep/Ram dealership in the U.S., acquired two retail automotive franchises in Italy, acquired two retail automotive franchises and one used vehicle dealership in Australia, and opened one retail automotive franchise in Germany. In the U.S., we closed one Jaguar franchise, one Chrysler/Dodge/Jeep/Ram dealership, and one used vehicle dealership, and in the U.K., we closed one used vehicle dealership and sold two used vehicle dealerships. In July 2024, we transitioned our remaining U.K. CarShop locations to Sytner Select dealerships, incorporating them within the broader Sytner network. In October 2024, we signed an agreement to acquire a third Porsche dealership in Melbourne, Australia, subject to customary closing conditions. This dealership will be acquired from Porsche Retail Group Australia Pty Ltd. and will complement the two Porsche dealerships we acquired in Melbourne during the second quarter of 2024.
Retail Commercial Truck Dealership. We operate Premier Truck Group ("PTG"), a heavy- and medium-duty truck dealership group offering primarily Freightliner and Western Star trucks (both Daimler brands), with locations across 11 U.S. states and the Canadian provinces of Ontario and Manitoba. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we acquired three full-service dealerships and two independent repair facilities in the U.S., and we closed two locations in the U.S. As of September 30, 2024, PTG operated 46 locations selling new and/or used trucks, performing service and parts operations, or offering collision repair services.
9

Penske Australia. Penske Australia is the exclusive importer and distributor of Western Star heavy-duty trucks (a Daimler brand), MAN heavy- and medium-duty trucks and buses (a VW Group brand), and Dennis Eagle refuse collection vehicles, together with associated parts, across Australia, New Zealand, and portions of the Pacific. In most of these same markets, we are also a leading distributor of diesel and gas engines and power systems, principally representing MTU (a Rolls-Royce solution), Detroit Diesel, Allison Transmission, and Bergen Engines. Penske Australia offers products across the on- and off-highway markets, including in the trucking, mining, power generation, defense, marine, rail, and construction sectors and supports full parts and aftersales service through a network of branches, field service locations, and dealers across the region.
Penske Transportation Solutions. We hold a 28.9% ownership interest in Penske Truck Leasing Co., L.P. ("PTL"). PTL is owned 41.1% by Penske Corporation, 28.9% by us, and 30.0% by Mitsui & Co., Ltd. ("Mitsui"). We account for our investment in PTL under the equity method, and we therefore record our share of PTL's earnings on our statements of income under the caption "Equity in earnings of affiliates," which also includes the results of our other equity method investments. Penske Transportation Solutions ("PTS") is the universal brand name for PTL's various business lines through which it is capable of meeting customers' needs across the supply chain with a broad product offering that includes full-service truck leasing, truck rental, and contract maintenance along with logistic services, such as dedicated contract carriage, distribution center management, freight management, and dry van truckload carrier services.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements of PAG have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). Certain information and disclosures normally included in our annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("U.S. GAAP") have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the SEC rules and regulations. The information presented as of September 30, 2024 and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 is unaudited but includes all adjustments which our management believes to be necessary for the fair presentation of results for the periods presented. Results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the year. These consolidated condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023, which are included as part of our Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The accounts requiring the use of estimates include accounts receivable, inventories, income taxes, intangible assets, leases, and certain reserves.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Accounting standards define fair value as the price that would be received from selling an asset, or paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Accounting standards establish a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value and also establishes the following three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
Level 1Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
Level 2Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted market prices in markets that are not active, or model-derived valuations or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities
Level 3Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities
Our financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, debt, floor plan notes payable, and forward exchange contracts used to hedge future cash flows. Other than our fixed rate debt, the carrying amount of all significant financial
10

instruments approximates fair value due either to length of maturity, the existence of variable interest rates that approximate prevailing market rates, or as a result of mark to market accounting.
Our fixed rate debt consists of amounts outstanding under our senior subordinated notes and mortgage facilities. We estimate the fair value of our senior unsecured notes using quoted prices for the identical liability (Level 2), and we estimate the fair value of our mortgage facilities using a present value technique based on our current market interest rates for similar types of financial instruments (Level 2). A summary of our fixed rate debt is as follows:
September 30, 2024December 31, 2023
Carrying ValueFair ValueCarrying Value Fair Value
3.50% senior subordinated notes due 2025
548.8 540.0 547.7 $529.7 
3.75% senior subordinated notes due 2029
496.4 463.1 495.8 444.4 
Mortgage facilities (1)
570.4 550.5 402.1 378.5 
_____________________
(1)In addition to fixed rate debt, our mortgage facilities also include revolving mortgage facilities through Toyota Motor Credit Corporation that bear interest at variable rates. The fair value equals the carrying value.
Income Taxes
Tax regulations may require items to be included in our tax return at different times than when those items are reflected in our financial statements. Some of the differences are permanent, such as expenses that are not deductible on our tax return, and some are temporary differences, such as the timing of depreciation expense. Temporary differences create deferred tax assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets generally represent items that will be used as a tax deduction or credit in our tax return in future years which we have already recorded in our financial statements. Deferred tax liabilities generally represent deductions taken on our tax return that have not yet been recognized as an expense in our financial statements. We establish valuation allowances for our deferred tax assets if the amount of expected future taxable income is not more likely than not to allow for the use of the deduction or credit.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Reference Rate Reform
In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, "Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting." This ASU provides optional guidance for a limited time to ease the potential burden in accounting for reference rate reform. The new guidance provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying U.S. GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. The amendments apply only to contracts and hedging relationships that reference the London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") or another reference rate expected to be discontinued due to reference rate reform. Additionally, entities can elect to continue applying hedge accounting for hedging relationships affected by reference rate reform if certain conditions are met. In January 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-01, "Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Scope." This ASU refines the scope of ASC 848 and clarifies some of its guidance as part of the Board's monitoring of global reference rate reform activities. The ASU permits entities to elect certain optional expedients and exceptions when accounting for derivative contracts and certain hedging relationships affected by changes in the interest rates used for discounting cash flows, for computing variation margin settlements, and for calculating price alignment interest in connection with reference rate reform activities. In December 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-06, "Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Deferral of the Sunset Date of Topic 848." This ASU defers the sunset date of Topic 848 from December 31, 2022, to December 31, 2024, after which entities will no longer be permitted to apply the relief in Topic 848. These new standards were effective upon issuance and generally can be applied to applicable contract modifications. While some of our floorplan arrangements and certain credit agreements had historically used LIBOR as a benchmark for calculating the applicable interest rate, all of our agreements previously utilizing LIBOR have transitioned to an alternative benchmark rate on or before July 1, 2023. These changes have not had a significant impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations, and cash flows.
Segment Reporting
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, "Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures." This ASU expands public entities’ segment disclosures by requiring disclosure of significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker and included within each reported
11

measure of segment profit or loss and also requires that public entities provide all annual disclosures about a reportable segment’s profit or loss and assets in interim periods. This ASU is effective for financial statements issued for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments should be applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting this ASU on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures.
Income Taxes
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, "Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures." This ASU expands public entities’ annual income tax disclosures by requiring disclosure of specific categories in the rate reconciliation and disclosure of additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold. This ASU is effective for financial statements issued for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The amendments should be applied on a prospective basis with retrospective application permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting this ASU on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures.
2. Revenues
Automotive and commercial truck dealerships generate the majority of our revenues. New and used vehicle revenues typically include sales to retail customers, to fleet customers, and to leasing companies providing consumer leasing. We generate finance and insurance revenues from sales of third-party extended service contracts, sales of third-party insurance policies, commissions relating to the sale of finance and lease contracts to third parties, and the sales of certain other products. Service and parts revenues include fees paid by customers for repair, maintenance and collision services, and the sale of replacement parts and other aftermarket accessories as well as warranty repairs that are reimbursed directly by various vehicle manufacturers. Revenues are recognized upon satisfaction of our performance obligations under contracts with our customers and are measured at the amount of consideration we expect to be entitled to in exchange for transferring goods or providing services. A discussion of revenue recognition by reportable segment is included below.
Retail Automotive and Retail Commercial Truck Dealership Revenue Recognition
Dealership Vehicle Sales. We record revenue for vehicle sales at a point in time when vehicles are delivered, which is when the transfer of title, risks and rewards of ownership, and control are considered passed to the customer. The amount of consideration we receive for vehicle sales, including any non-cash consideration representing the fair value of trade-in vehicles if applicable, is stated within the executed contract with our customer. Payment is typically due and collected within 30 days subsequent to transfer of control of the vehicle. For dealerships operating under an agency model, we receive a commission for each vehicle sale that we facilitate under the terms of the agency agreement with the manufacturer, which is recorded as new vehicle revenue.
Dealership Parts and Service Sales. We record revenue for vehicle service and collision work over time as work is completed and when parts are delivered to our customers. For service and parts revenues recorded over time, we utilize a method that considers total costs incurred to date and the applicable margin in relation to total expected efforts to complete our performance obligation in order to determine the appropriate amount of revenue to recognize over time. Recognition of this revenue over time reflects the amount of consideration we expect to be entitled to for the transfer of goods and services performed to date, representative of the amount for which we have a right to payment. The amount of consideration we receive for parts and service sales, including collision repair work, is based upon labor hours expended and parts utilized to perform and complete the necessary services to our customers. Payment is typically due upon delivery or within a period of time shortly thereafter. We receive payment from our customers upon transfer of control or within a period typically less than 30 days subsequent to the completion of services for the customer. We allow for customer returns of parts sales up to 30 days after the sale.
Dealership Finance and Insurance Sales. Subsequent to the sale of a vehicle to a customer, we sell installment sale contracts to various financial institutions on a non-recourse basis (with specified exceptions) to mitigate the risk of default. We receive a commission from the lender equal to either the difference between the interest rate charged to the customer and the interest rate set by the financing institution or a flat fee. We also receive commissions for facilitating the sale of various products to customers, including voluntary vehicle protection insurance, vehicle theft protection, and extended service contracts. These commissions are recorded as revenue at a point in time when the customer enters into the contract. Payment is typically due and collected within 30 days subsequent to the execution of the contract with the customer.
In the case of finance contracts, a customer may prepay or fail to pay their contract, thereby terminating the contract.
12

Customers may also terminate extended service contracts and other insurance products, which are fully paid at purchase, and become eligible for refunds of unused premiums. In these circumstances, a portion of the commissions we received may be charged back based on the terms of the contracts. The revenue we record relating to these transactions is net of an estimate of the amount of chargebacks we will be required to pay. Our estimate is based upon our historical experience with similar contracts, including the impact of refinance and default rates on retail finance contracts and cancellation rates on extended service contracts and other insurance products. Aggregate reserves relating to chargeback activity were $48.4 million and $42.7 million as of September 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023, respectively.
Commercial Vehicle Distribution and Other Revenue Recognition
Penske Australia. We record revenue from the distribution of vehicles and other products at a point in time when delivered, which is when the transfer of title, risks and rewards of ownership, and control are considered passed to the customer. We record revenue for service or repair work over time as work is completed and when parts are delivered to our customers. For service and parts revenues recorded over time, we utilize a method that considers total costs incurred to date and the applicable margin in relation to total expected efforts to complete our performance obligation in order to determine the appropriate amount of revenue to recognize over time. Recognition of this revenue over time reflects the amount of consideration we expect to be entitled to for the transfer of goods and services performed to date, representative of the amount for which we have a right to payment.
The amount of consideration we receive for vehicle and product sales is stated within the executed contract with our customer. The amount of consideration we receive for parts and service sales is based upon labor hours expended and parts utilized to perform and complete the necessary services to our customers. Payment is typically due upon delivery, upon invoice, or within a period of time shortly thereafter. We receive payment from our customers upon transfer of control or within a period typically within 45 days subsequent to transfer of control or invoice.
We record revenue from the distribution of engines and other products at a point in time when delivered, which is when the transfer of title, risks and rewards of ownership, and control are considered passed to the customer. We record revenue for service or repair work over time as work is completed and when parts are delivered to our customers. For service and parts revenues recorded over time, we utilize a method that considers total costs incurred to date and the applicable margin in relation to total expected efforts to complete our performance obligation in order to determine the appropriate amount of revenue to recognize over time. Recognition of revenue over time reflects the amount of consideration we expect to be entitled to for the transfer of goods and services performed to date, representative of the amount for which we have a right to payment.
For our long-term power generation contracts, we record revenue over time as services are provided in accordance with contract milestones, which is considered an output method that requires judgment to determine our progress towards contract completion and the corresponding amount of revenue to recognize. Any revisions to estimates related to revenues or costs to complete contracts are recorded in the period in which the revisions to estimates are identified and the amounts can be reasonably estimated.
The amount of consideration we receive for engine, product, and power generation sales is stated within the executed contract with our customer. The amount of consideration we receive for service sales is based upon labor hours expended and parts utilized to perform and complete the necessary services to our customers. Payment is typically due upon delivery, upon invoice, or within a period of time shortly thereafter. We receive payment from our customers upon transfer of control or within a period typically within 45 days subsequent to transfer of control or invoice.

Contract Balances
The following table summarizes our accounts receivable and unearned revenues as of September 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023:

December 31,
2023
Accounts receivable
Contracts in transit$289.5 $361.9 
Vehicle receivables155.5 170.6 
Manufacturer receivables233.2 218.9 
Trade receivables321.0 344.1 
Accrued expenses
Unearned revenues$312.6 $280.2 
Contracts in transit represent receivables from unaffiliated finance companies relating to the sale of customers' installment sales and lease contracts arising in connection with the sale of a vehicle by us. Vehicle receivables represent receivables for any portion of the vehicle sales price not paid by the finance company. Manufacturer receivables represent amounts due from manufacturers, including incentives, holdbacks, rebates, warranty claims, and other receivables due from the factory. Trade receivables represent receivables due from customers, including amounts due for parts and service sales as well as receivables due from finance companies and others for the commissions earned on financing and commissions earned on insurance and extended service products provided by third parties. We evaluate collectability of receivables and estimate an allowance for doubtful accounts based on the age of the receivable, contractual life, historical collection experience, current conditions, and forecasts of future economic conditions, which is recorded within "Accounts receivable" on our consolidated balance sheets with our receivables presented net of the allowance.
Unearned revenues primarily relate to payments received from customers prior to satisfaction of our performance obligations, such as refundable customer deposits, non-refundable customer deposits, and deferred revenues from operating leases. These amounts are presented within "Accrued expenses and other current liabilities" on our consolidated balance sheets. Of the amounts recorded as unearned revenues as of December 31, 2023, $176.6 million was recognized as revenue during the nine months ended September 30, 2024.
Additional Revenue Recognition Related Policies
We do not have any material significant payment terms associated with contracts with our customers. Payment is due and collected as previously detailed for each reportable segment. We do not offer material rights of return or service-type warranties.
Taxes collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities are recorded on a net basis (excluded from revenue). Shipping costs incurred subsequent to transfer of control to our customers are recognized as cost of sales. Sales promotions that we offer to customers are accounted for as a reduction of revenues at the time of sale.
3. Leases
We lease land and facilities, including certain dealerships and office space. Our property leases are generally for an initial period between 5 and 20 years and are typically structured to include renewal options at our election. We include renewal options that we are reasonably certain to exercise in the measurement of our lease liabilities and right-of-use assets. We also have equipment leases that primarily relate to office and computer equipment, service and shop equipment, company vehicles, and other miscellaneous items. These leases are generally for a period of less than 5 years. We do not have any material leases, individually or in the aggregate, classified as a finance leasing arrangement.
We estimate the total undiscounted rent obligations under these leases, including any extension periods that we are reasonably certain to exercise, to be $5.4 billion as of September 30, 2024. Some of our lease arrangements include rental payments that are adjusted based on an index or rate, such as the Consumer Price Index (CPI). As the rate implicit in the lease is generally not readily determinable for our operating leases, the discount rates used to determine the present value of our lease liability are based on our incremental borrowing rate at the lease commencement date and commensurate with the remaining lease term. Our incremental borrowing rate for a lease is the rate of interest we would have to pay to borrow on a
15

collateralized basis over a similar term for an amount equal to the lease payments in a similar economic environment. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet.
Pursuant to the leases for some of our larger facilities, we are required to comply with specified financial ratios, including a "rent coverage" ratio and a ratio of debt to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization ("EBITDA"), each as defined. For these leases, non-compliance with the ratios may require us to post collateral in the form of a letter of credit. A breach of the other lease covenants gives rise to certain remedies by the landlord, the most severe of which include the termination of the applicable lease and acceleration of the total rent payments due under the lease.
In connection with the sale, relocation, and closure of certain of our dealerships, we have entered into a number of third-party sublease agreements. The rent paid by our sub-tenants on such properties was $4.4 million and $12.0 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, and $4.2 million and $12.7 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively. We have in the past and may in the future enter into sale-leaseback transactions to finance certain property acquisitions and capital expenditures, pursuant to which we sell property to third parties and agree to lease those assets back for a certain period of time. Such sales generate proceeds that vary from period to period. We do not have any material leases that have not yet commenced as of September 30, 2024.
The following table summarizes our net operating lease cost during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023:

5. Business Combinations
During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we acquired 16 retail automotive franchises in the U.K., acquired two retail automotive franchises in Italy, and acquired two retail automotive franchises and one used vehicle dealership in Australia, and acquired one Ford franchise in the U.S. We also acquired three full-service dealerships and two independent repair facilities in the U.S. adding to PTG's operations. The companies acquired during the nine months ended September 30, 2024, generated $812.2 million of revenue and $18.2 million of pre-tax income from our date of acquisition through September 30, 2024. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we acquired three full-service commercial truck dealerships and two service and parts centers in Canada adding to PTG's operations. We also acquired two retail automotive franchises in the U.S. Our financial statements include the results of operations of the acquired entities from the date of acquisition. The fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed have been recorded in our consolidated condensed financial statements and may be subject to adjustment pending completion of final valuation. The following table summarizes the aggregate consideration paid and the aggregate amounts of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023:

As of September 30, 2024, the goodwill balance for reporting units within our Retail Automotive, Retail Commercial Truck, and Other reportable segments was $1,822.2 million, $505.7 million, and $77.8 million, respectively. There is no goodwill recorded in our Non-Automotive Investments reportable segment.
7. Vehicle Financing
We finance substantially all of the commercial vehicles we purchase for distribution, new vehicles for retail sale, and a portion of our used vehicle inventories for retail sale under floor plan and other revolving arrangements with various lenders, including the captive finance companies associated with automotive manufacturers. In the U.S., the floor plan arrangements are due on demand; however, we have not historically been required to repay floor plan advances prior to the sale of the vehicles that have been financed. We typically make monthly interest payments on the amount financed. Outside of the U.S., substantially all of the floor plan arrangements are payable on demand or have an original maturity of 90 days or less, and we are generally required to repay floor plan advances at the earlier of the sale of the vehicles that have been financed or the stated maturity.
18

The agreements typically grant a security interest in substantially all of the assets of our dealership and distribution subsidiaries and in the U.S., Australia, and New Zealand are guaranteed or partially guaranteed by us. Interest rates under the arrangements are variable and increase or decrease based on changes in the prime rate, the Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR"), the Sterling Overnight Index Average ("SONIA"), the Bank of England Base Rate, the Finance House Base Rate, the Euro Interbank Offered Rate, the Canadian Prime Rate, the Tokyo Interbank Offered Rate, the Australian Bank Bill Swap Rate, or the New Zealand Bank Bill Benchmark Rate. To date, we have not experienced any material limitation with respect to the amount or availability of financing from any institution providing us with vehicle financing. We also receive non-refundable credits from certain of our vehicle manufacturers, which are treated as a reduction of cost of sales as vehicles are sold.
The weighted average interest rate on floor plan borrowings was 5.0% and 4.4% for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. We classify floor plan notes payable to a party other than the manufacturer of a particular new vehicle and all floor plan notes payable relating to pre-owned vehicles as "Floor plan notes payable — non-trade" on our consolidated balance sheets and classify related cash flows as a financing activity on our consolidated statements of cash flows.
8. Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income attributable to common stockholders by the number of weighted average shares of voting common stock outstanding, including unvested restricted stock awards which contain rights to non-forfeitable dividends. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income attributable to common stockholders by the number of weighted average shares of voting common stock outstanding, adjusted for the dilutive impact of unissued shares paid to directors during the year as compensation. A reconciliation of the number of shares used in the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 follows:

U.S. Credit Agreement
Our U.S. Credit Agreement with Mercedes-Benz Financial Services USA LLC, Toyota Motor Credit Corporation, and Daimler Truck Financial Services USA LLC (as amended, the "U.S. Credit Agreement") provides for up to $1.2 billion in
19

revolving loans for working capital, acquisitions, capital expenditures, investments, and other general corporate purposes and provides up to an additional $75 million of letters of credit. The U.S. Credit Agreement provides for a maximum of $400 million of borrowings for foreign acquisitions and expires on September 30, 2027. The interest rate on revolving loans is based on an adjusted Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") plus 1.50%, with uncollateralized borrowings in excess of a defined borrowing base bearing interest at adjusted SOFR plus 3.00%.
The U.S. credit agreement is fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a joint and several basis by substantially all of our U.S. subsidiaries and contains a number of significant operating covenants that, among other things, restrict our ability to dispose of assets, incur additional indebtedness, repay certain other indebtedness, pay dividends, create liens on assets, make investments or acquisitions, and engage in mergers or consolidations. We are also required to comply with specified financial and other tests and ratios, each as defined in the U.S. credit agreement, including a ratio of current assets to current liabilities, a fixed charge coverage ratio, a ratio of debt to stockholders' equity, and a ratio of debt to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization ("EBITDA"). A breach of these requirements would give rise to certain remedies under the agreement, the most severe of which is the termination of the agreement and acceleration of the amounts owed.
The U.S. credit agreement also contains typical events of default, including change of control, non-payment of obligations, and cross-defaults to our other material indebtedness. Substantially all of our U.S. assets are subject to security interests granted to the lenders under the U.S. credit agreement. As of September 30, 2024, we had no revolver borrowings under the U.S. credit agreement.
U.K. Credit Agreement
Our U.K. credit agreement with the National Westminster Bank Plc and BMW Financial Services (GB) Limited provides up to a £200.0 million revolving line of credit to be used for working capital, acquisitions, capital expenditures, investments, and general corporate purposes. The revolving loans bear interest between defined Sterling Overnight Index Average (“SONIA”) plus 1.10% and defined SONIA plus 2.10%. In addition, the U.K. credit agreement includes a £100.0 million “accordion” feature which allows the U.K. subsidiaries to request up to an additional £100.0 million of facility capacity, subject to certain limitations. The lenders may agree to provide additional capacity, and, if not, the U.K. subsidiaries may add an additional lender, if available, to the facility to provide such additional capacity. Our U.K. credit agreement expires in January 2028. The U.K. credit agreement is guaranteed by the holding company of a majority of our international subsidiaries, PAG International Ltd. As of September 30, 2024, we had £61.0 million ($81.6 million) revolver borrowings under the U.K. credit agreement.
The U.K. credit agreement is fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a joint and several basis by our U.K. subsidiaries, and contains a number of significant covenants that, among other things, limit the ability of our U.K. subsidiaries to pay dividends, dispose of assets, incur additional indebtedness, repay other indebtedness, create liens on assets, make investments or acquisitions and engage in mergers or consolidations. In addition, our U.K. subsidiaries are required to comply with defined ratios and tests, including: a ratio of earnings before interest, taxes, amortization, and rental payments (“EBITAR”) to interest plus rental payments, a measurement of maximum capital expenditures, and a debt to EBITDA ratio. A breach of these requirements would give rise to certain remedies under the U.K. credit agreement, the most severe of which is the termination of the agreement and acceleration of any amounts owed.
The U.K. credit agreement also contains typical events of default, including change of control and non-payment of obligations and cross-defaults to other material indebtedness of our U.K. subsidiaries. Substantially all of our U.K. subsidiaries’ assets are subject to security interests granted to the lenders under the U.K. credit agreement.
Senior Subordinated Notes
We have issued the following senior subordinated notes:
DescriptionMaturity DateInterest Payment DatesPrincipal Amount
3.50% Notes
September 1, 2025February 15, August 15$550 million
3.75% Notes
June 15, 2029June 15, December 15$500 million
Each of these notes are our unsecured, senior subordinated obligations and are guaranteed on an unsecured senior subordinated basis by our 100% owned U.S. subsidiaries. Each also contains customary negative covenants and events of default. If we experience certain "change of control" events specified in the indentures, holders of these notes will have the option to require us to purchase for cash all or a portion of their notes at a price equal to 101% of the principal amount of
20

the notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest. In addition, if we make certain asset sales and do not reinvest the proceeds thereof or use such proceeds to repay certain debt, we will be required to use the proceeds of such asset sales to make an offer to purchase the notes at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest. We may redeem the 3.50% Notes and the 3.75% Notes at the redemption prices noted in the respective indentures. Our 3.50% Notes that mature on September 1, 2025, were reclassified to current during the third quarter of 2024.
Canada Credit Agreement
One of our Canadian subsidiaries is party to a CAD $150.0 million revolving line of credit with Daimler Truck Financial Services Canada Corporation ("DTFS") which we use in relation to our Canadian Premier Truck Group retail operations (the "Canada credit agreement"). The Canada credit agreement bears interest at a rate of Canadian Prime (determined by the Royal Bank of Canada) ("Canadian Prime Rate") minus 0.50%; provided that DTFS is entitled to demand repayment of any outstanding borrowings under the Canada revolving note and, following such demand, the interest rate on outstanding borrowings shall be increased to the Canadian Prime Rate plus 2.00%. The Canada credit agreement is guaranteed by PAG International Ltd. As of September 30, 2024, we had CAD $121.0 million ($89.5 million) of outstanding borrowings under the Canada credit agreement.
Australia Credit Agreement
Penske Australia is party to an AU $100.0 million credit agreement with Daimler Truck Financial Services Australia Pty Ltd (the "Australia credit agreement"). The Australia credit agreement provides the lender with a secured interest in all assets of these businesses, is terminable with six months' notice, and carries an interest rate of Australian BBSW 30-day Bill Rate plus 2.29%. As of September 30, 2024, we had AU $66.5 million ($46.0 million) outstanding borrowings under the Australia credit agreement.
Mortgage Facilities
We are party to mortgages that bear interest at defined rates and require monthly principal and interest payments. We also have a revolving mortgage facility with Toyota Motor Credit Corporation in the U.S. Our maximum borrowing capacity under the mortgage facility is $350.0 million, contingent on property values. Our actual borrowing capacity as of September 30, 2024, was $335.7 million. The facility bears interest at the prime rate minus 1.68% and expires in December 2028. As of September 30, 2024, we had $205.0 million outstanding borrowings under this mortgage facility. Our mortgage facilities also contain typical events of default, including non-payment of obligations, cross-defaults to our other material indebtedness, certain change of control events, and the loss or sale of certain dealerships operated at the properties. Substantially all of the buildings and improvements on the properties financed pursuant to the mortgage facilities are subject to security interests granted to the lender. As of September 30, 2024, we owed $570.4 million of principal under all of our mortgage facilities.
10. Commitments and Contingent Liabilities
We are involved in litigation which may relate to claims brought by governmental authorities, issues with customers, and employment related matters, including class action claims and purported class action claims. As of September 30, 2024, we were not party to any legal proceedings, including class action lawsuits that, individually or in the aggregate, are reasonably expected to have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition, or cash flows. However, the results of these matters cannot be predicted with certainty, and an unfavorable resolution of one or more of these matters could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition, or cash flows.
We lease land and facilities, including certain dealerships and office space. Pursuant to the leases for some of our larger facilities, we are required to comply with specified financial ratios, including a "rent coverage" ratio and a debt to EBITDA ratio, each as defined. For these leases, non-compliance with the ratios may require us to post collateral in the form of a letter of credit. A breach of the other lease covenants gives rise to certain remedies by the landlord, the most severe of which include the termination of the applicable lease and acceleration of the total rent payments due under the lease. Refer to the disclosures provided in Note 3 for further description of our leases.
We have sold a number of dealerships to third parties and as a condition to certain of those sales, remain liable for the lease payments relating to the properties on which those businesses operate in the event of non-payment by the buyer. We are also party to lease agreements on properties that we no longer use in our retail operations that we have sublet to third parties. We rely on subtenants to pay the rent and maintain the property at these locations. In the event the subtenant does not perform as expected, we may not be able to recover amounts owed to us, and we could be required to fulfill these obligations. We believe we have made appropriate reserves relating to these locations.
21

Our floor plan credit agreements with Daimler Truck Financial Services Australia and Mercedes-Benz Financial Services New Zealand ("MBA") provide us revolving loans for the acquisition of commercial vehicles for distribution to our retail network. These facilities include a commitment to repurchase dealer vehicles in the event the dealer's floor plan agreement with MBA is terminated.
We have $14.0 million of letters of credit outstanding and $18.5 million of bank guarantees as of September 30, 2024, and have posted $24.1 million of surety bonds in the ordinary course of business.

13. Segment Information
Our operations are organized by management into operating segments by line of business and geography. We have determined that we have four reportable segments as defined in generally accepted accounting principles for segment reporting: (i) Retail Automotive, consisting of our retail automotive dealership operations; (ii) Retail Commercial Truck, consisting of our retail commercial truck dealership operations in the U.S. and Canada; (iii) Other, consisting of our commercial vehicle and power systems distribution operations; and (iv) Non-Automotive Investments, consisting of our equity method investments in non-automotive operations which includes our investment in PTS and other various investments. The Retail Automotive reportable segment includes all automotive dealerships and all departments relevant to the operation of the dealerships and our retail automotive joint ventures. The individual dealership operations included in the Retail Automotive reportable segment represent two operating segments: United States Retail Automotive and International Retail Automotive. These operating segments have been aggregated into one reportable segment as their operations (A) have similar economic characteristics (all are automotive dealerships having similar margins), (B) offer similar products and services (all sell new and/or used vehicles, service, parts, and third-party finance and insurance products), (C) have similar target markets and customers (generally individuals), and (D) have similar distribution and marketing practices (all distribute products and services through dealership facilities that market to customers in similar fashions).

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
This Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results may differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including those discussed in Part I, Item 1A. "Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, Part II, Item 1A. "Risk Factors" in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly periods ended March 31, 2024, June 30, 2024, and Part II, Item 1A. "Risk Factors" in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and those in our other periodic reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, and "Forward-Looking Statements." We have acquired and initiated a number of businesses during the periods presented and addressed in this Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. Our financial statements include the results of operations of those businesses from the date acquired or when they commenced operations. Our period-to-period results of operations may vary depending on the dates of acquisitions or disposals.
Overview
We are a diversified international transportation services company and one of the world's premier automotive and commercial truck retailers. We operate dealerships in the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, Germany, Italy, Japan, and Australia, and we are one of the largest retailers of commercial trucks in North America for Freightliner. We also distribute and retail commercial vehicles, diesel and gas engines, power systems, and related parts and services principally in Australia and New Zealand. We employ over 28,950 people worldwide. Additionally, we own 28.9% of Penske Transportation Solutions, a business that employs over 44,000 people worldwide, manages one of the largest, most comprehensive and modern trucking fleets in North America with over 442,000 trucks, tractors, and trailers under lease, rental, and/or maintenance contracts, and provides innovative transportation, supply chain, and technology solutions to its customers.
Business Overview
During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, our business generated $22.7 billion in total revenue, which is comprised of approximately $19.4 billion from retail automotive dealerships, $2.7 billion from retail commercial truck dealerships, and $553.8 million from commercial vehicle distribution and other operations. We generated $3.8 billion in gross profit, which is comprised of $3.2 billion from retail automotive dealerships, $446.4 million from retail commercial truck dealerships, and $132.4 million from commercial vehicle distribution and other operations.
Retail Automotive. We are one of the largest global automotive retailers as measured by the $25.2 billion in total retail automotive dealership revenue we generated in 2023. We are diversified geographically with 55% of our total retail automotive dealership revenues in the nine months ended September 30, 2024, generated in the U.S. and Puerto Rico and 45% generated outside of the U.S. We offer over 40 vehicle brands with 72% of our retail automotive franchised dealership revenue generated from premium brands, such as Audi, BMW, Land Rover, Mercedes-Benz, and Porsche, in the nine months ended September 30, 2024. As of September 30, 2024, we operated 360 retail automotive franchised dealerships, of which 149 are located in the U.S. and 211 are located outside of the U.S. The franchised dealerships outside of the U.S. are located primarily in the U.K. As of September 30, 2024, we also operated 16 used vehicle dealerships, with six dealerships in the U.S., nine dealerships in the U.K., and one dealership in Australia. We retailed and wholesaled, including agency units, more than 450,000 vehicles in the nine months ended September 30, 2024.
Each of our franchised dealerships offers a wide selection of new and used vehicles for sale. In addition to selling new and used vehicles, we generate higher-margin revenue at each of our dealerships through maintenance and repair services, the sale and placement of third-party finance and insurance products, third-party extended service and maintenance contracts, replacement and aftermarket automotive products, and at certain of our locations, collision repair services. We operate our franchised dealerships under franchise agreements with a number of automotive manufacturers and distributors that are subject to certain rights and restrictions typical of the industry. Beginning in 2023, we transitioned some of our dealerships in the U.K. and Europe to an agency model under which we receive a fee for facilitating the sale by the manufacturer of a new vehicle but do not hold the vehicle in inventory. Vehicles sold under this agency model are counted as new agency units sold instead of new retail units sold by us, and only the fee we receive from the manufacturer, not the price of the vehicle, is reported as new revenue (as opposed to previously recording all of the vehicle sale price as new revenue) with no corresponding cost of sale. We continue to provide new vehicle customer service under the agency model, and the agency model at this time has not changed our used vehicle sales operations or service and parts operations, although the long-term impact of the agency model at these dealerships, as well as other agency models proposed by our manufacturer partners, is uncertain.
25

During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we acquired 16 retail automotive franchises and opened one retail automotive franchise in the U.K., acquired two Ford franchises and one Chrysler/Dodge/Jeep/Ram dealership in the U.S., acquired two retail automotive franchises in Italy, acquired two retail automotive franchises and one used vehicle dealership in Australia, and opened one retail automotive franchise in Germany. In the U.S., we closed one Jaguar franchise, one Chrysler/Dodge/Jeep/Ram dealership, and one used vehicle dealership, and in the U.K., we closed one used vehicle dealership and sold two used vehicle dealerships. In July 2024, we transitioned our remaining U.K. CarShop locations to Sytner Select dealerships, incorporating them within the broader Sytner network. Retail automotive dealerships represented 85.5% of our total revenues and 84.6% of our total gross profit in the nine months ended September 30, 2024. In October 2024, we signed an agreement to acquire a third Porsche dealership in Melbourne, Australia, subject to customary closing conditions. This dealership will be acquired from Porsche Retail Group Australia Pty Ltd. and will complement the two Porsche dealerships we acquired in Melbourne during the second quarter of 2024.
Retail Commercial Truck Dealership. We operate Premier Truck Group ("PTG"), a heavy- and medium-duty truck dealership group offering primarily Freightliner and Western Star trucks (both Daimler brands), with locations across 11 U.S. states and the Canadian provinces of Ontario and Manitoba. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we acquired three full-service dealerships and two independent repair facilities in the U.S., and we closed two locations in the U.S. As of September 30, 2024, PTG operated 46 locations selling new and/or used trucks, performing service and parts operations, or offering collision repair services. We retailed and wholesaled 16,378 new and used trucks in the nine months ended September 30, 2024. This business represented 12.1% of our total revenues and 11.9% of our total gross profit in the nine months ended September 30, 2024.
On June 19, 2024, we became aware that CDK Global, LLC (“CDK”), a third-party provider of information systems, including dealer management software systems (“DMS”) to support retail automotive and commercial truck dealership operations, was experiencing a cybersecurity incident and its systems were rendered inoperable (the “CDK Cybersecurity Incident”). Although we do not utilize CDK's DMS in our U.S. or international automotive dealership operations, our Premier Truck Group business does utilize CDK’s dealer management system and was impacted by the CDK Cybersecurity Incident. On June 19th, we immediately took precautionary containment steps to protect our systems and commenced an investigation of the incident. PTG implemented its business continuity response plans and continued to operate without the DMS at all locations through manual or alternate processes developed to respond to such incidents. On July 2, PTG was able to reconnect all of its locations to CDK’s DMS servers and restore core functionality of the software platform. However, key industry partners, such as Daimler Truck North America, did not immediately reconnect to the CDK systems at that time. Full connectivity and functionality of the CDK systems were completed in the third quarter. We intend to make a claim for our losses in connection with the CDK cybersecurity event from our cybersecurity carrier although any amounts ultimately recovered remains uncertain.
Penske Australia. Penske Australia is the exclusive importer and distributor of Western Star heavy-duty trucks (a Daimler brand), MAN heavy- and medium-duty trucks and buses (a VW Group brand), and Dennis Eagle refuse collection vehicles, together with associated parts, across Australia, New Zealand, and portions of the Pacific. In most of these same markets, we are also a leading distributor of diesel and gas engines and power systems, principally representing MTU (a Rolls-Royce solution), Detroit Diesel, Allison Transmission, and Bergen Engines. Penske Australia offers products across the on- and off-highway markets, including in the trucking, mining, power generation, defense, marine, rail, and construction sectors and supports full parts and aftersales service through a network of branches, field service locations, and dealers across the region. These businesses represented 2.4% of our total revenues and 3.5% of our total gross profit in the nine months ended September 30, 2024.
Penske Transportation Solutions. We hold a 28.9% ownership interest in Penske Truck Leasing Co., L.P. ("PTL"). PTL is owned 41.1% by Penske Corporation, 28.9% by us, and 30.0% by Mitsui & Co., Ltd. ("Mitsui"). We account for our investment in PTL under the equity method, and we therefore record our share of PTL's earnings on our statements of income under the caption "Equity in earnings of affiliates," which also includes the results of our other equity method investments. Penske Transportation Solutions ("PTS") is the universal brand name for PTL's various business lines through which it is capable of meeting customers' needs across the supply chain with a broad product offering that includes full-service truck leasing, truck rental, and contract maintenance along with logistics services, such as dedicated contract carriage, distribution center management, freight management, and dry van truckload carrier services. We recorded $145.7 million and $238.3 million in equity earnings from this investment for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Outlook
Retail Automotive. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, U.S. industry new light vehicle sales increased 0.7%, to 11.7 million units, including a 1.3% increase in retail sales and partially offset by a 3.2% decrease in fleet sales, as compared to the same period last year. U.K. new vehicle registrations increased 4.3% to 1.5 million registrations, including a 16.3% increase in fleet sales and partially offset by a 9.4% decrease in retail sales, as compared to the same period last year. New vehicle sales are being positively impacted by continued strong consumer demand, manufacturer incentives, and government incentives on electric vehicles. Our new vehicle days' supply is 53 as of September 30, 2024, compared to 39 as of December 31, 2023, including vehicles which are unable to be sold due to open recalls. Our used vehicle days' supply is 43 as of September 30, 2024, compared to 48 as of December 31, 2023, and is being impacted by a lower supply of 1-4 year old used vehicles as a result of the lower number of new vehicles sold in recent years and fewer lease returns in the U.S. As a reference, our new and used days' supply was 71 and 52, respectively, as of December 31, 2019 (pre-COVID). As the supply of new vehicles has improved, we have experienced, and may continue to experience, reduced new and used vehicle gross profit. The regulatory authorities in our markets have adopted emissions limits on new vehicles which are designed to incent adoption of electric or other zero-emissions vehicles. New vehicle sales levels could be impacted by these regulatory mandates as well as affordability challenges, inflation, interest rates, or a reduction in consumer spending resulting in decreased demand. The unavailability of 1-4 year old quality, low-mileage used vehicles for sale may adversely impact our used vehicle operations.
Representatives of the U.K. government have proposed a ban on the sale of internal combustion engines in new cars and new vans that may take effect as early as 2030 while also providing government incentives on certain electric vehicles to entice consumers to transition from internal combustion vehicles to electric vehicles. In part due to these incentives, U.K. new registrations of electric vehicles, excluding hybrid, represented 17.8% of the overall market for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to 16.4% for the same period last year, and represented 22.4% of our U.K. new unit sales, compared with 21.1% over the same prior year period. In the U.S., sales of electric vehicles increased 8.7% to 0.9 million units as compared to the same period last year. Electric Vehicle sales represented 8.1% of the overall U.S. market for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to 7.5% for the same period last year. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, 4.4% of new vehicle sales in the U.S., and 2.4% of the new vehicle sales in the U.K., were sold by vehicle manufacturers directly to consumers outside of the retail automotive franchised system, principally consisting of one manufacturer. We also expect continued strong demand for our service and parts operations driven by increases in demand for warranty work in light of increasing vehicle sales in recent years, recall campaigns, miles driven, and vehicle complexity, as well as continued strong demand for customer pay work.
Retail Commercial Truck Dealership. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, North American sales of Class 6-8 medium- and heavy-duty trucks, the vehicles sold by our PTG business, decreased 5.0% from the same period last year to 348,960 units, primarily due to increased deliveries in 2023 as a result of deliveries expected in 2022 being delayed into 2023 due to supply constraints as well as continued lower freight rates in the U.S. The Class 6-7 medium-duty truck market decreased 2.9% from the same period last year to 115,275 units, and Class 8 heavy-duty trucks, the largest North American market, decreased 6.1% from the same period last year to 233,685 units. We expect replacement demand to continue throughout 2024, although a continued weak freight market may impact unit sales and service and parts demand. As of September 30, 2024, the Class 6-8 medium- and heavy-duty truck backlog is 190,602 units according to data published by ACT Research. When the supply of commercial trucks improves to historical levels, we may experience reduced new and used commercial truck gross profit per unit together with higher sales volumes. As freight rates remain low, we expect service and parts to remain impacted by miles driven or use of the vehicle in service.
Commercial Vehicle Distribution and Other. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Australian heavy-duty truck market reported sales of 12,858 units, representing an increase of 1.6% from the same period last year, while the New Zealand market reported sales of 2,810 units, representing a decrease of 8.6% from the same period last year. Additionally, our power system operations continue to grow through sales in the off-highway segments such as energy solutions which provide power systems for large data centers, mining, and military applications.
Penske Transportation Solutions. A majority of PTS' revenue is generated by multi-year contracts for full-service leasing, contract maintenance, and logistics services. PTS also rents additional trucks to commercial customers in response to demand for freight as well as consumer customers. With a managed fleet of over 442,000 vehicles at September 30, 2024, PTS regularly sells trucks in order to maintain a low fleet age as well as in response to changes in demand for truck leasing and records a gain or loss on those sales. For 2024, PTS also expects continued demand for its full-service leasing business and lower gain on sale of used trucks as PTS continues to optimize its fleet size to help reduce operating costs while improving utilization.
27

As described in "Forward-Looking Statements," there are a number of factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from our expectations, including those discussed in Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, Part II, Item 1A. "Risk Factors" in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly periods ended March 31, 2024, June 30, 2024, and Part II, Item 1A. "Risk Factors" in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and our other periodic reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Operating Overview
Automotive and commercial truck dealerships represent 97.6% of our revenue and 80.6% of our earnings before taxes during the nine months ended September 30, 2024. Income from our PTS investment represents 15.8% of our earnings before taxes during the nine months ended September 30, 2024. New and used vehicle revenues typically include sales to retail customers, agency customers, fleet customers, and leasing companies providing consumer leasing. We generate finance and insurance revenues from sales of third-party extended service contracts, sales of third-party insurance policies, commissions relating to the sale of finance and lease contracts to third parties, and the sales of certain other products. Service and parts revenues include fees paid by customers for repair, maintenance and collision services, and the sale of replacement parts and other aftermarket accessories as well as warranty repairs that are reimbursed directly by various vehicle manufacturers.
Our gross profit tends to vary with the mix of revenues we derive from the sale of new vehicles, used vehicles, finance and insurance products, and service and parts transactions. Our gross profit varies across product lines with vehicle sales usually resulting in lower gross profit margins and our other revenues resulting in higher gross profit margins. Factors such as inventory and vehicle availability, customer demand, consumer confidence, unemployment, general economic conditions, seasonality, weather, credit availability, fuel prices, and manufacturers' advertising and incentives also impact the mix of our revenues and therefore, influence our gross profit margin. The results of our commercial vehicle distribution and other business in Australia and New Zealand are principally driven by the number and types of products and vehicles ordered by our customers. Aggregate revenue and gross profit increased $143.0 million, or 1.9%, and increased $22.8 million, or 1.9%, respectively, during the three months ended September 30, 2024, and increased $480.0 million, or 2.2%, and increased $6.8 million, or 0.2%, respectively, during the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to the same periods in 2023.
As exchange rates fluctuate, our revenue and results of operations as reported in U.S. Dollars fluctuate. For example, if the British Pound were to weaken against the U.S. Dollar, our U.K. results of operations would translate into less U.S. Dollar reported results. Foreign currency average rate fluctuations increased revenue and gross profit by $69.0 million and $10.5 million, respectively, for the three months ended September 30, 2024, and increased revenue and gross profit by $166.2 million and $23.0 million, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. Foreign currency average rate fluctuations increased earnings per share by approximately $0.03 for the three months ended September 30, 2024, and increased earnings per share by approximately $0.04 per share for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. Excluding the impact of foreign currency average rate fluctuations, aggregate revenue and gross profit increased 1.0% and increased 1.0%, respectively, for the three months ended September 30, 2024, when compared to the same period last year, and increased 1.4% and decreased 0.4%, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, when compared to the same period last year.
Our selling expenses consist of advertising and compensation for sales personnel, including commissions and related bonuses. General and administrative expenses include compensation for administration, finance, legal and general management personnel, rent, insurance, utilities, and other expenses. As the majority of our selling expenses are variable and a significant portion of our general and administrative expenses are subject to our control, we believe our expenses can be adjusted over time to reflect economic trends.
Equity in earnings of affiliates principally represents our share of the earnings from PTS, along with our investments in joint ventures and other non-consolidated investments.
Floor plan interest expense relates to financing incurred in connection with the acquisition of new and used vehicle inventories that are secured by those vehicles. Other interest expense consists of interest charges on all of our interest-bearing debt, other than interest relating to floor plan financing. The cost of our variable rate indebtedness is based on the prime rate, the Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR"), the Sterling Overnight Index Average ("SONIA"), the Bank of England Base Rate, the Finance House Base Rate, the Euro Interbank Offered Rate, the Canadian Prime Rate, the Tokyo Interbank Offered Rate, the Australian Bank Bill Swap Rate, and the New Zealand Bank Bill Benchmark Rate.
The future success of our business is dependent upon, among other things, macro-economic, geo-political, and industry conditions and events, including their impact on new and used vehicle sales, the availability of consumer credit,
28

changes in consumer demand, consumer confidence levels, fuel prices, demand for trucks to move freight with respect to PTS and PTG, personal discretionary spending levels, interest rates, unemployment rates; our ability to obtain vehicles and parts from our manufacturers, especially in light of supply chain disruptions due to natural disasters, any shortages of vehicle components, international conflicts, challenges in sourcing labor or labor strikes or work stoppages, or other disruptions; changes in the retail model either from direct sales by manufacturers, a transition to an agency model of sales, sales by online competitors or from the expansion of electric vehicles; disruptions to the security and availability of our information technology systems and those of our third party providers, which systems are increasingly threatened by ransomware and other cyber-attacks; the effects of a pandemic on the global economy, including our ability to react effectively to changing business conditions in light of any pandemic; the rate of inflation, including its impact on vehicle affordability; changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates; our ability to consummate, integrate, and realize returns on acquisitions; with respect to PTS, changes in the financial health of its customers, labor strikes, or work stoppages by its employees, a reduction in PTS' asset utilization rates, continued availability from truck manufacturers and suppliers of vehicles and parts for its fleet, changes in values of used trucks which affects PTS' profitability on truck sales and regulatory risks and related compliance costs; our ability to realize returns on our significant capital investments in new and upgraded dealership facilities; our ability to navigate a rapidly changing automotive and truck landscape; our ability to respond to new or enhanced regulations in both our domestic and international markets relating to dealerships and vehicles sales, including those related to the sales process or emissions standards, as well as changes in consumer sentiment relating to commercial truck sales that may hinder our or PTS' ability to maintain, acquire, sell, or operate trucks; the success of our distribution of commercial vehicles, engines, and power systems; natural disasters; recall initiatives or other disruptions that interrupt the supply of vehicles or parts to us; the outcome of legal and administrative matters, and other factors over which management has limited control. See Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, Part II, Item 1A. "Risk Factors" in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly periods ended March 31, 2024, June 30, 2024, and Part II, Item 1A.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires the application of accounting policies that often involve making estimates and employing judgments. Such judgments influence the assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses recognized in our financial statements. Management, on an ongoing basis, reviews these estimates and assumptions. Management may determine that modifications in assumptions and estimates are required, which may result in a material change in our results of operations or financial position.
The accounting policies and estimates that we believe to be most dependent upon the use of estimates and assumptions are revenue recognition, goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets, investments, income taxes, and lease recognition. Refer to "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" in our 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional detail and discussion of these critical accounting policies and estimates. There have been no material changes in critical accounting policies and estimates as described in our most recent Annual Report.
Refer to Part I, Item 1, Note 1 and Note 3 of the Notes to our Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements for disclosures regarding estimates and judgments related to lease recognition. Refer to Part I, Item 1, Note 2 of the Notes to our Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements for disclosures regarding estimates and judgments related to revenue recognition. Refer to "Income Taxes" within Part I, Item 1, Note 1 of the Notes to our Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements for disclosures regarding estimates and judgments related to income taxes.
Results of Operations
The following tables present comparative financial data relating to our operating performance in the aggregate and on a "same-store" basis. Dealership results are included in same-store comparisons when we have consolidated the acquired entity during the entirety of both periods being compared. As an example, if a dealership were acquired on January 15, 2022, the results of the acquired entity would be included in annual same-store comparisons beginning with the year ended December 31, 2024, and in quarterly same-store comparisons beginning with the quarter ended June 30, 2023.
Beginning in 2023, we transitioned some of our dealerships in the U.K. and Europe to an agency model under which these dealerships receive a fee for facilitating the sale by the manufacturer of a new vehicle but do not hold the vehicle in inventory. Vehicles sold under this agency model are counted as new agency units sold instead of new retail units sold by us, and only the fee we receive from the manufacturer, not the price of the vehicle, is reported as new revenue (as opposed
29

to previously recording all of the vehicle sale price as new revenue) with no corresponding cost of sale. We continue to provide new vehicle customer service under the agency model, and the agency model at this time has not changed our used vehicle sales operations or service and parts operations, although the long-term impact of the agency model at these dealerships as well as other agency models proposed by our manufacturer partners is uncertain. As a result of the foregoing, we have presented below units sold under this agency model as "Agency units" beginning in 2023. Moreover, our retail automotive revenue per unit retailed and related gross profit per unit retailed for new vehicles excludes agency unit sales and associated revenue.

Same-store gross margin % — new9.4 %10.8 %(1.4)%(13.0)%
Units
Retail unit deliveries of new vehicles increased from 2023 to 2024 due to a 3,971 unit increase from net dealership acquisitions, partially offset by a 913 unit, or 1.6%, decrease in same-store new retail unit deliveries. Same-store retail units delivered decreased 2.8% in the U.S. and decreased 0.1% internationally. Overall, new retail unit deliveries increased 1.4% in the U.S. and increased 10.7% internationally. We believe the decrease in same-store unit sales is due to limited availability of certain premium brands during the quarter as a result of product recalls initiated by certain manufacturers which must be completed prior to vehicle sales, partially offset by an increase in electric and hybrid fleet vehicle sales due to government incentives.
Revenues
New vehicle sales revenue increased from 2023 to 2024 due to a $183.7 million increase from net dealership acquisitions, partially offset by a $36.2 million, or 1.3%, decrease in same-store revenues. Excluding $25.5 million of favorable foreign currency fluctuations, same-store new revenue decreased 2.3%. Same-store revenue (excluding agency) decreased due to the decrease in same-store new retail unit sales, which decreased revenue by $89.9 million, partially offset by a $1,127 per unit increase in same-store comparative average retail selling price (including a $537 per retail unit increase attributable to favorable foreign currency fluctuations), which increased revenue by $52.1 million. We believe the increase in same-store comparative average retail selling price (excluding agency) is primarily due to changes in the mix of higher-priced units sold and the increased costs of acquiring vehicles from the manufacturer.
Gross Profit
Retail gross profit from new vehicle sales decreased from 2023 to 2024 due to a $41.0 million, or 13.9%, decrease in same-store gross profit, partially offset by a $19.1 million increase from net dealership acquisitions. Excluding $2.7 million of favorable foreign currency fluctuations, same-store gross profit decreased 14.8%. Same-store gross profit (excluding
30

agency) decreased due to a $750 per unit decrease in same-store comparative average gross profit (despite a $44 per retail unit increase attributable to favorable foreign currency fluctuations), which decreased gross profit by $34.6 million, coupled with the decrease in same-store new retail sales, which decreased retail gross profit by $9.2 million. We believe the decrease in same-store comparative average retail gross profit per unit (excluding agency) is primarily due to an improved supply of many of the new vehicles we sell and the mix of sales. We believe the resulting compression on gross margin is due to higher gross profit realized in the prior year as vehicle supply was constrained, coupled with affordability concerns and a more competitive environment due to higher inventory levels.

Units
Retail unit sales of used vehicles decreased from 2023 to 2024 due to a 7,694 unit, or 12.5%, decrease in same-store used retail unit sales, coupled with a 577 unit decrease from net dealership dispositions. Our same-store units decreased 4.4% in the U.S. and decreased 19.5% internationally. Overall, our used units decreased 2.8% in the U.S. and decreased 20.1% internationally. Same-store unit sales are being impacted by the transition of our U.K. CarShop locations to Sytner Select dealerships which sell fewer units as well as a lower supply of 1-4 year old used vehicles due to the fewer number of new vehicles sold in recent years and lower lease returns particularly in the U.S. Excluding these U.K. Sytner Select dealerships from both periods, overall used vehicles retailed increased 0.6% and same-store used units decreased 4.3%.
Revenues
Used vehicle retail sales revenue decreased from 2023 to 2024 due to a $256.5 million, or 11.5%, decrease in same-store revenues, partially offset by a $58.3 million increase from net dealership acquisitions. Excluding $25.1 million of favorable foreign currency fluctuations, same-store used retail revenue decreased 12.7%. The decrease in same-store revenue is due to the decrease in same-store used retail unit sales, which decreased revenue by $278.2 million, partially offset by a $403 per unit increase in same-store comparative average selling price (including a $467 per unit increase attributable to favorable foreign currency fluctuations), which increased revenue by $21.7 million. We believe the decrease in same-store comparative average selling price, excluding favorable foreign currency, is primarily due to the decrease in used vehicle acquisition costs when compared to the same period last year.
Gross Profit
Retail gross profit from used vehicle sales increased from 2023 to 2024 due to a $4.4 million increase from net dealership acquisitions, coupled with a $1.0 million, or 1.0%, increase in same-store gross profit. Excluding $1.2 million of favorable foreign currency fluctuations, same-store gross profit decreased 0.2%. The increase in same-store gross profit is due to a $252 per unit increase in same-store comparative average gross profit (including a $22 per unit increase attributable to favorable foreign currency fluctuations), which increased gross profit by $13.6 million, partially offset by the decrease in same-store used retail unit sales, which decreased gross profit by $12.6 million. We believe the increase in
31

same-store comparative average gross profit per unit is primarily due to the stabilization of the used car market compared to the same period last year, coupled with the transition of our U.K. CarShop locations to Sytner Select dealerships.

Finance and insurance revenue decreased from 2023 to 2024 due to an $18.7 million, or 9.1%, decrease in same-store revenue, partially offset by a $1.7 million increase from net dealership acquisitions. Excluding $1.8 million of favorable foreign currency fluctuations, same-store finance and insurance revenue decreased 10.0%. Same-store revenue (excluding agency) decreased due to the decrease in combined same-store new and used retail unit sales, which decreased revenue by $17.2 million, coupled with a $26 per unit decrease in same-store comparative average finance and insurance retail revenue (despite a $16 per retail unit increase attributable to favorable foreign currency fluctuations), which decreased revenue by $2.6 million. Same-store finance and insurance revenue per unit (excluding agency) decreased 1.5% in the U.S. and decreased 3.5% in the U.K. We believe the decrease in same-store finance and insurance revenue per unit (excluding agency) is primarily due to high interest rates impacting overall customer affordability and an increase in lease penetration and electric and hybrid fleet vehicle sales in the U.K. which limits our finance and insurance product sale opportunities.

Revenues
Service and parts revenue increased from 2023 to 2024, with an increase of 8.9% in the U.S. and an increase of 21.9% internationally. The increase in service and parts revenue is due to a $49.4 million, or 7.2%, increase in same-store revenues, coupled with a $43.4 million increase from net dealership acquisitions. Excluding $5.6 million of favorable foreign currency fluctuations, same-store revenue increased 6.4%. The increase in same-store revenue is due to a $27.7 million, or 20.0%, increase in warranty revenue, a $20.7 million, or 4.2%, increase in customer pay revenue, and a $1.0 million, or 2.2%, increase in vehicle preparation and body shop revenue. We believe the increase in same-store revenue is primarily due to an increase in warranty work from manufacturer recalls, coupled with vehicles remaining on the road longer due to affordability considerations, as well as increases in effective labor rates, the retail cost of parts due to inflation, and higher repair costs.
Gross Profit
Service and parts gross profit increased from 2023 to 2024 due to a $25.2 million, or 6.3%, increase in same-store gross profit, coupled with a $20.2 million increase from net dealership acquisitions. Excluding $3.3 million of favorable
32

foreign currency fluctuations, same-store gross profit increased 5.4%. The increase in same-store gross profit is due to the increase in same-store revenues, which increased gross profit by $28.8 million, partially offset by a 0.5% decrease in same-store gross margin, which decreased gross profit by $3.6 million. The increase in same-store gross profit is due to a $13.7 million, or 18.2%, increase in warranty gross profit, a $9.8 million, or 4.2%, increase in customer pay gross profit, and a $1.7 million, or 1.9%, increase in vehicle preparation and body shop gross profit. We believe the decrease in same-store gross margin is primarily due to a shift in sales mix in the U.K. from customer pay to warranty, which typically has a lower gross margin.

Units
Retail unit sales of new trucks increased from 2023 to 2024 due to a 490 unit, or 10.5%, increase in same-store new retail unit sales, coupled with a 242 unit increase from net dealership acquisitions. We believe the increase in same-store unit sales is primarily due to replacement demand for medium- and heavy-duty trucks.
Revenues
New commercial truck retail sales revenue increased from 2023 to 2024 due to a $72.7 million, or 11.3%, increase in same-store revenues, coupled with a $38.2 million increase from net dealership acquisitions. The increase in same-store revenue is due to the increase in same-store new retail unit sales, which increased revenue by $68.0 million, coupled with a $999 per unit increase in same-store comparative average selling price, which increased revenue by $4.7 million. We believe the increase in same-store comparative average selling price is primarily due to higher prices driven by replacement demand and the mix of higher-priced units sold.
Gross Profit
New commercial truck retail gross profit increased from 2023 to 2024 due to a $3.7 million increase from net dealership acquisitions, coupled with a $2.0 million, or 5.0%, increase in same-store gross profit. The increase in same-store gross profit is due to the increase in same-store new retail unit sales, which increased gross profit by $4.0 million, partially offset by a $431 per unit decrease in same-store comparative average gross profit, which decreased gross profit by $2.0 million. We believe the decrease in same-store comparative average gross profit per unit is primarily due to a change in sales mix when compared to the same period last year.

Units
Retail unit sales of used trucks increased from 2023 to 2024 due to a 34 unit, or 3.9%, increase in same-store retail unit sales, coupled with a 9 unit increase from net dealership acquisitions. We believe the increase in same-store unit sales is primarily due to the increase in availability and affordability of used trucks when compared with the prior year period, coupled with limited availability of certain new trucks resulting in higher demand of certain used trucks.
Revenues
Used commercial truck retail sales revenue decreased from 2023 to 2024 due to an $8.9 million, or 13.0%, decrease in same-store revenues, partially offset by a $0.6 million increase from net dealership acquisitions. The decrease in same-store revenue is due to a $12,597 per unit decrease in same-store comparative average selling price, which decreased revenue by $11.1 million, partially offset by the increase in same-store used retail unit sales, which increased revenue by $2.2 million. We believe the decrease in same-store comparative average selling price is primarily due to the declining value of used trucks, as a result of prolonged lower freight spot rates and improved availability of new trucks when compared to the prior year period.
Gross Profit
Used commercial truck retail gross profit remained flat from 2023 to 2024. Same-store gross profit remained flat due to a $132 per unit decrease in same-store comparative average gross profit, which decreased gross profit by $0.1 million, offset by the increase in same-store used retail unit sales, which increased gross profit by $0.1 million. We believe the decrease in same-store comparative average gross profit per unit is primarily due to the decreased value of used trucks over the prior year, as a result of prolonged lower freight spot rates when compared to the prior year period.

Revenues
Service and parts revenue decreased from 2023 to 2024 due to an $11.0 million, or 4.7%, decrease in same-store revenues, partially offset by an $8.7 million increase from net dealership acquisitions. Customer pay work represented approximately 77.7% of PTG's service and parts revenue, largely due to the significant amount of retail sales of parts and accessories. The decrease in same-store revenue is due to a $12.9 million, or 6.8%, decrease in customer pay revenue and a
34

$1.2 million, or 15.2%, decrease in body shop revenue, partially offset by a $3.1 million, or 7.8%, increase in warranty revenue. We believe the decrease in same-store service and parts revenue is due to customers delaying maintenance costs due to prolonged lower freight spot rates.
Gross Profit
Service and parts gross profit decreased from 2023 to 2024 due to a $5.7 million, or 5.7%, decrease in same-store gross profit, partially offset by a $4.0 million increase from net dealership acquisitions. The decrease in same-store gross profit is due to the decrease in same-store revenues, which decreased gross profit by $4.6 million, coupled with a 0.5% decrease in same-store gross margin, which decreased gross profit by $1.1 million. The decrease in same-store gross profit is primarily due to a $6.7 million, or 9.6%, decrease in customer pay gross profit and a $0.8 million, or 9.8%, decrease in body shop gross profit, partially offset by a $1.8 million, or 8.3%, increase in warranty gross profit.

Selling, general, and administrative expenses ("SG&A") increased from 2023 to 2024 due to a $39.8 million increase from net acquisitions, partially offset by an $8.1 million, or 1.0%, decrease in same-store SG&A. Excluding $6.4 million of unfavorable foreign currency fluctuations, same-store SG&A decreased 1.7%. SG&A as a percentage of gross profit was

71.2%, an increase of 130 basis points compared to 69.9% in the prior year. SG&A expenses as a percentage of total revenue were 11.7% and 11.5% in the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. We believe the increase in SG&A as a percentage of gross profit is primarily due to increases in personnel expenses, rent expenses, customer service vehicle loaner expenses, and information technology expenses, relative to gross profit, in part due to inflation.

Equity in earnings of affiliates decreased from 2023 to 2024 due to a $23.8 million, or 28.3%, decrease in earnings from our investment in PTS, coupled with a decrease in earnings from our other joint ventures. We believe the decrease in our PTS equity earnings is primarily due to lower commercial and consumer rental revenue as a result of the prolonged decline in freight rates, higher interest rates on fixed rate long term debt, higher average debt balances, higher maintenance expenses on full service leasing, and lower gains from the sale of revenue earning vehicles, partially offset by improved operating results in full-service leasing.

Units
Retail unit deliveries of new vehicles increased from 2023 to 2024 due to an 8,785 unit increase from net dealership acquisitions, partially offset by a 134 unit, or 0.1%, decrease in same-store new retail unit deliveries. Same-store retail units delivered increased 1.7% in the U.S. and decreased 2.3% internationally. Overall, new retail unit deliveries increased 3.7% in the U.S. and increased 6.9% internationally. We believe the increase in same-store retail unit sales in the U.S. is primarily due to continued consumer demand for new vehicles and increasing new vehicle availability, coupled with the pent-up demand resulting from lower vehicle availability in prior years. We believe the decrease in same-store unit sales is due to limited availability of certain premium brands during the quarter as a result of product recalls initiated by certain manufacturers which must be completed prior to vehicle sales, partially offset by an increase in electric and hybrid fleet vehicle sales due to government incentives.
Revenues
New vehicle sales revenue increased from 2023 to 2024 due to a $413.4 million increase from net dealership acquisitions, partially offset by an $8.9 million, or 0.1%, decrease in same-store revenues. Excluding $56.6 million of favorable foreign currency fluctuations, same-store new revenue decreased 0.8%. Same-store revenue (excluding agency) decreased due to the decrease in same-store new retail unit sales, which decreased revenue by $162.1 million, partially offset by a $989 per unit increase in same-store comparative average retail selling price (including a $389 per retail unit increase attributable to favorable foreign currency fluctuations), which increased revenue by $140.2 million. We believe the increase in same-store comparative average retail selling price (excluding agency) is primarily due to changes in the mix of higher-priced units sold and the increased costs of acquiring vehicles from the manufacturer.
37

Gross Profit
Retail gross profit from new vehicle sales decreased from 2023 to 2024 due to a $142.2 million, or 15.2%, decrease in same-store gross profit, partially offset by a $43.1 million increase from net dealership acquisitions. Excluding $5.5 million of favorable foreign currency fluctuations, same-store gross profit decreased 15.8%. Same-store gross profit (excluding agency) decreased due to a $953 per unit decrease in same-store comparative average gross profit (despite a $29 per retail unit increase attributable to favorable foreign currency fluctuations), which decreased gross profit by $135.1 million, coupled with the decrease in same-store new retail sales, which decreased retail gross profit by $17.5 million. We believe the decrease in same-store comparative average retail gross profit per unit (excluding agency) is primarily due to an improved supply of many of the new vehicles we sell and the mix of sales. We believe the resulting compression on gross margin is due to higher gross profit realized in the prior year as vehicle supply was constrained, coupled with affordability concerns and a more competitive environment due to higher inventory levels.

Retail unit sales of used vehicles decreased from 2023 to 2024 due to an 8,312 unit, or 4.5%, decrease in same-store used retail unit sales, partially offset by a 1,655 unit increase from net dealership acquisitions. Our same-store units were flat in the U.S. and decreased 8.2% internationally. Overall, our used units increased 0.7% in the U.S. and decreased 6.4% internationally. Same-store unit sales are being impacted by the transition of our U.K. CarShop locations to Sytner Select dealerships which sell fewer units as well as a lower supply of 1-4 year old used vehicles due to the fewer number of new vehicles sold in recent years and lower lease returns particularly in the U.S. Excluding these U.K. Sytner Select dealerships from both periods, overall used vehicles retailed increased 3.4% and same-store used units decreased 0.5%.
Revenues
Used vehicle retail sales revenue decreased from 2023 to 2024 due to a $405.6 million, or 6.1%, decrease in same-store revenues, partially offset by a $192.0 million increase from net dealership acquisitions. Excluding $80.2 million of favorable foreign currency fluctuations, same-store used retail revenue decreased 7.3%. The decrease in same-store revenue is due to the decrease in same-store used retail unit sales, which decreased revenue by $298.6 million, coupled with a $605 per unit decrease in same-store comparative average selling price (despite a $454 per unit increase attributable to favorable foreign currency fluctuations), which decreased revenue by $107.0 million. We believe the decrease in same-store comparative average selling price is primarily due to the decrease in used vehicle acquisition costs when compared to the same period last year.
Gross Profit
Retail gross profit from used vehicle sales increased from 2023 to 2024 due to a $16.6 million increase from net dealership acquisitions, partially offset by a $7.7 million, or 2.3%, decrease in same-store gross profit. Excluding $3.7 million of favorable foreign currency fluctuations, same-store gross profit decreased 3.4%. The decrease in same-store
38

gross profit is due to the decrease in same-store used retail unit sales, which decreased gross profit by $15.3 million, partially offset by a $43 per unit increase in same-store comparative average gross profit (including a $21 per unit increase attributable to favorable foreign currency fluctuations), which increased gross profit by $7.6 million. We believe the increase in same-store comparative average gross profit per unit is primarily due to the stabilization of the used car market compared to the same period last year, coupled with the transition of our U.K. CarShop locations to Sytner Select dealerships.

Excluding $5.4 million of favorable foreign currency fluctuations, same-store finance and insurance revenue decreased 5.8%. Same-store revenue (excluding agency) decreased due to the decrease in combined same-store new and used retail unit sales, which decreased revenue by $20.7 million, coupled with a $37 per unit decrease in same-store comparative average finance and insurance retail revenue (despite a $16 per retail unit increase attributable to favorable foreign currency fluctuations), which decreased revenue by $11.8 million. Same-store finance and insurance revenue per unit (excluding agency) decreased 1.6% in the U.S. and decreased 4.7% in the U.K. We believe the decrease in same-store finance and insurance revenue per unit (excluding agency) is primarily due to high interest rates impacting overall customer affordability and an increase in lease penetration and electric and hybrid fleet vehicle sales in the U.K. which limits our finance and insurance product sale opportunities.

Service and parts revenue increased from 2023 to 2024, with an increase of 6.7% in the U.S. and an increase of 18.3% internationally. The increase in service and parts revenue is due to a $117.2 million, or 5.7%, increase in same-store revenues, coupled with a $106.3 million increase from net dealership acquisitions. Excluding $13.7 million of favorable foreign currency fluctuations, same-store revenue increased 5.1%. The increase in same-store revenue is due to a $59.3 million, or 4.0%, increase in customer pay revenue, a $52.5 million, or 12.7%, increase in warranty revenue, and a $5.4 million, or 4.0%, increase in vehicle preparation and body shop revenue. We believe the increase in same-store revenue is primarily due to vehicles remaining on the road longer due to affordability considerations, as well as increases in effective labor rates, the retail cost of parts due to inflation, and manufacturer recalls.

Gross Profit
Service and parts gross profit increased from 2023 to 2024 due to a $63.3 million, or 5.3%, increase in same-store gross profit, coupled with a $48.7 million increase from net dealership acquisitions. Excluding $8.4 million of favorable foreign currency fluctuations, same-store gross profit increased 4.6%. The increase in same-store gross profit is due to the increase in same-store revenues, which increased gross profit by $68.6 million, partially offset by a 0.2% decrease in same-store gross margin, which decreased gross profit by $5.3 million. The increase in same-store gross profit is due to a $28.2 million, or 3.9%, increase in customer pay gross profit, a $27.4 million, or 12.3%, increase in warranty gross profit, and a $7.7 million, or 2.9%, increase in vehicle preparation and body shop gross profit. We believe the decrease in same-store gross margin is primarily due to a shift in sales mix in the U.K. from customer pay to warranty, which typically has a lower gross margin.

Units
Retail unit sales of new trucks decreased from 2023 to 2024 due to an 884 unit, or 6.5%, decrease in same-store new retail unit sales, partially offset by a 534 unit increase from net dealership acquisitions. We believe the decrease in same-store unit sales is primarily due to the unusually high number of deliveries in the prior year period resulting from production timing and delivery delays throughout 2022 caused by manufacturer supply chain challenges, partially offset by replacement demand for medium- and heavy-duty trucks.
Revenues
New commercial truck retail sales revenue increased from 2023 to 2024 due to an $81.9 million increase from net dealership acquisitions, partially offset by a $78.0 million, or 4.3%, decrease in same-store revenues. The decrease in same-store revenue is due to the decrease in same-store new retail unit sales, which decreased revenue by $119.7 million, partially offset by a $3,296 per unit increase in same-store comparative average selling price, which increased revenue by $41.7 million. We believe the increase in same-store comparative average selling price is primarily due to higher prices driven by replacement demand and the mix of higher-priced units sold.
Gross Profit
New commercial truck retail gross profit increased from 2023 to 2024 due to a $6.3 million increase from net dealership acquisitions, coupled with a $3.3 million, or 3.1%, increase in same-store gross profit. The increase in same-store gross profit is due to an $814 per unit increase in same-store comparative average gross profit, which increased gross profit by $10.3 million, partially offset by the decrease in same-store new retail unit sales, which decreased gross profit by
40

$7.0 million. We believe the increase in same-store comparative average gross profit per unit is primarily due to a change in sales mix when compared to the same period last year.

Units
Retail unit sales of used trucks increased from 2023 to 2024 due to a 427 unit, or 19.2%, increase in same-store retail unit sales, coupled with a 71 unit increase from net dealership acquisitions. We believe the increase in same-store unit sales is primarily due to the increase in availability and affordability of used trucks when compared with the prior year period, coupled with limited availability of certain new trucks resulting in higher demand of certain used trucks.
Revenues
Used commercial truck retail sales revenue increased from 2023 to 2024 due to a $5.5 million increase from net dealership acquisitions, partially offset by a $4.6 million, or 2.7%, decrease in same-store revenues. The decrease in same-store revenue is due to a $14,004 per unit decrease in same-store comparative average selling price, which decreased revenue by $31.1 million, partially offset by the increase in same-store used retail unit sales, which increased revenue by $26.5 million. We believe the decrease in same-store comparative average selling price is primarily due to the declining value of used trucks, as a result of prolonged lower freight spot rates and improved availability of new trucks when compared to the prior year period.
Gross Profit
Used commercial truck retail gross profit decreased from 2023 to 2024 primarily due to a $1.8 million, or 12.8%, decrease in same-store gross profit, coupled with a $0.9 million decrease from net dealership acquisitions. The decrease in same-store gross profit is due to a $1,705 per unit decrease in same-store comparative average gross profit, which decreased gross profit by $3.8 million, partially offset by the increase in same-store used retail unit sales, which increased gross profit by $2.0 million. We believe the decrease in same-store comparative average gross profit per unit is primarily due to the decreased value of used trucks over the prior year, as a result of prolonged lower freight spot rates when compared to the prior year period.

Revenues
Service and parts revenue decreased from 2023 to 2024 due to a $47.0 million, or 6.9%, decrease in same-store revenues, partially offset by a $27.4 million increase from net dealership acquisitions. Customer pay work represented approximately 78.0% of PTG's service and parts revenue, largely due to the significant amount of retail sales of parts and accessories. The decrease in same-store revenue is due to a $50.6 million, or 9.2%, decrease in customer pay revenue and a $3.9 million, or 16.3%, decrease in body shop revenue, partially offset by a $7.5 million, or 6.8%, increase in warranty revenue. We believe the decrease in same-store service and parts revenue is due to customers delaying maintenance costs due to prolonged lower freight spot rates, coupled with lower service and parts revenue in June and July resulting from the CDK Cybersecurity Incident discussed above.
Gross Profit
Service and parts gross profit decreased from 2023 to 2024 due to a $14.7 million, or 5.1%, decrease in same-store gross profit, partially offset by an $11.5 million increase from net dealership acquisitions. The decrease in same-store gross profit is due to the decrease in same-store revenues, which decreased gross profit by $20.2 million, partially offset by a 0.8% increase in same-store gross margin, which increased gross profit by $5.5 million. The decrease in same-store gross profit is due to a $17.3 million, or 8.6%, decrease in customer pay gross profit and a $2.0 million, or 8.3%, decrease in body shop gross profit, partially offset by a $4.6 million, or 7.6%, increase in warranty gross profit.

Penske Australia primarily distributes and services commercial vehicles, engines, and power systems. This business generated $553.8 million of revenue during the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to $444.6 million of revenue in the prior year, an increase of 24.6%. This business also generated $132.4 million of gross profit during the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to $122.7 million of gross profit in the prior year, an increase of 7.9%.
Excluding $5.2 million of unfavorable foreign currency fluctuations, revenue increased 25.7% primarily due to an increase in service and parts sales revenue and an increase in higher value power generation units sold. Excluding $1.3 million of unfavorable foreign currency fluctuations, gross profit increased 8.8% primarily due to an increase in higher value power generation units sold and higher margin service and parts sales.

Selling, general, and administrative expenses ("SG&A") increased from 2023 to 2024 due to a $100.5 million increase from net acquisitions, partially offset by a $4.5 million, or 0.2%, decrease in same-store SG&A. Excluding $15.7 million of unfavorable foreign currency fluctuations, same-store SG&A decreased 0.8%. SG&A as a percentage of gross profit was 70.7%, an increase of 240 basis points compared to 68.3% in the prior year. SG&A expenses as a percentage of total revenue were 11.7% and 11.5% in the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. We believe the increase in SG&A as a percentage of gross profit is primarily due to increases in personnel expenses, rent expenses, customer service vehicle loaner expenses, and information technology expenses, relative to gross profit, in part due to inflation.

Equity in earnings of affiliates$148.0 $241.6 (93.6)(38.7)%
Equity in earnings of affiliates decreased from 2023 to 2024 due to a $92.6 million, or 38.9%, decrease in earnings from our investment in PTS, coupled with the decrease in earnings from our other joint ventures. We believe the decrease in our PTS equity earnings is primarily due to lower commercial and consumer rental revenue as a result of the prolonged decline in freight rates, higher interest rates on fixed rate long term debt, higher average debt balances, higher maintenance expenses on full service leasing, and lower gains from the sale of revenue earning vehicles, partially offset by improved operating results in full-service leasing.

Income taxes$238.6 $297.1 (58.5)(19.7)%
Income taxes decreased from 2023 to 2024 primarily due to a $239.0 million decrease in our pre-tax income compared to the prior year. Our effective tax rate was 25.8% during the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to 25.5% during the nine months ended September 30, 2023, primarily due to fluctuations in our geographic pre-tax income mix, coupled with an increase to the U.K. corporate tax rate.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our cash requirements are primarily for working capital, inventory financing, the acquisition of new businesses, the improvement and expansion of existing facilities, the purchase or construction of new facilities, debt service and repayments, dividends, and potential repurchases of our outstanding securities under the program discussed below. Historically, these cash requirements have been met through cash flow from operations, borrowings under our credit agreements and floor plan arrangements, the issuance of debt securities, sale-leaseback transactions, real estate financings, and dividends and distributions from joint venture investments.
We have historically expanded our operations through organic growth and the acquisition of dealerships and other businesses. We believe that cash flow from operations, dividends and distributions from PTS and our joint venture investments, and our existing capital resources, including the liquidity provided by our credit agreements and floor plan financing arrangements, will be sufficient to fund our existing operations and current commitments for at least the next twelve months. In the event that economic conditions are more severely impacted than we expect due to geo-political conditions, any pandemic or vehicle shortages resulting from supply chain difficulties, we pursue significant acquisitions or other expansion opportunities, pursue significant repurchases of our outstanding securities, or refinance or repay existing debt, we may need to raise additional capital either through the public or private issuance of equity or debt securities or through additional borrowings, which sources of funds may not necessarily be available on terms acceptable to us, if at all. In addition, our liquidity could be negatively impacted in the event we fail to comply with the covenants under our various financing and operating agreements or in the event our floor plan financing is withdrawn. Future events, including acquisitions, divestitures, new or revised operating lease agreements, borrowings or repayments under our credit
44

agreements and our floor plan arrangements, raising capital, and purchases or refinancing of our securities, may also impact our liquidity.
We expect that scheduled payments of our debt instruments, including the maturity of our $550 million of 3.50% senior subordinated notes due September 1, 2025, will be funded through cash flows from operations or borrowings under our credit agreements. In the case of payments upon the maturity or termination dates of our debt instruments, we currently expect to be able to refinance such instruments in the normal course of business or otherwise fund them from cash flows from operations or borrowings under our credit agreements. Refer to the disclosures provided in Part I, Item 1, Note 9 of the Notes to our Consolidated Financial Statements set forth below for a detailed description of our long-term debt obligations and scheduled interest payments.
Floor plan notes payable are revolving inventory-secured financing arrangements. Refer to the disclosures provided in Part I, Item 1, Note 7 of the Notes to our Consolidated Financial Statements for a detailed description of financing for the vehicles we purchase, including discussion of our floor plan and other revolving arrangements.
Refer to the disclosures provided in Part I, Item 1, Note 10 of the Notes to our Consolidated Financial Statements for a description of our off-balance sheet arrangements which includes a repurchase commitment related to our floor plan credit agreement with Daimler Truck Financial Services Australia and Mercedes-Benz Financial Services New Zealand.
As of September 30, 2024, we had $91.9 million of cash available to fund our operations and capital commitments. In addition, we had $1.2 billion, £139.0 million ($185.9 million), CAD $29.0 million ($21.4 million), AU $33.5 million ($23.2 million), and $130.7 million available for borrowing under our U.S. credit agreement, U.K. credit agreement, Canada credit agreement, Australia credit agreement, and the revolving mortgage facility through Toyota Motor Credit Corporation in the U.S., respectively.
Securities Repurchases
From time to time, our Board of Directors has authorized securities repurchase programs pursuant to which we may, as market conditions warrant, purchase our outstanding common stock or debt on the open market, in privately negotiated transactions, via a tender offer, through a pre-arranged trading plan, pursuant to the terms of an accelerated share repurchase program, or by other means. We have historically implemented pre-arranged trading plans as part of our securities repurchase programs. These plans authorize share repurchases based on parameters outlined in the specific plan during periods when we otherwise would not trade in our securities, such as the period approaching the end of a quarter through our public announcement of earnings. We have historically funded any such repurchases using cash flow from operations, borrowings under our U.S. credit agreement, and borrowings under our U.S. floor plan arrangements. The decision to make repurchases will be based on factors such as general economic and industry conditions, the market price of the relevant security versus our view of its intrinsic value, the potential impact of such repurchases on our capital structure, and our consideration of any alternative uses of our capital, such as for acquisitions, dividends, the repayment of our existing indebtedness, and strategic investments in our current businesses, in addition to any then-existing limits imposed by our finance agreements and securities trading policy. As of September 30, 2024, $157.4 million remained outstanding and available for repurchases under our securities repurchase program approved by our Board of Directors. This authority has no expiration. Refer to the disclosures provided in Part I, Item 1, Note 11 of the Notes to our Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements for a summary of shares repurchased during the nine months ended September 30, 2024.

We also announced a cash dividend of $1.19 per share, payable on December 3, 2024, to stockholders of record on November 15, 2024. While future quarterly or other cash dividends will depend upon a variety of factors considered relevant by our Board of Directors, which may include our expectations regarding the severity and duration of vehicle production issues, the rate of inflation, including its impact on vehicle affordability, earnings, cash flow, capital requirements, restrictions relating to any then-existing indebtedness, financial condition, alternative uses of capital, and other factors, we currently expect to continue to pay comparable dividends in the future.
Vehicle Financing
Refer to the disclosures provided in Part I, Item I, Note 7 of the Notes to our Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements for a detailed description of financing for the vehicles we purchase, including discussion of our floor plan and other revolving arrangements.

Short-Term Borrowings
As of September 30, 2024, we had six principal sources of short-term borrowings: the revolving portion of the U.S. credit agreement, the revolving portion of the U.K. credit agreement, our Canada credit agreement, our Australia credit agreement, the revolving mortgage facility through Toyota Motor Credit Corporation, and the floor plan agreements that we utilize to finance our vehicle inventories. We are also able to access availability under the floor plan agreements to fund our cash needs.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, outstanding revolving commitments varied between $0.0 million and $249.0 million under the U.S. credit agreement, between £0.0 million and £150.0 million ($0.0 million and $200.6 million) under the U.K. credit agreement's revolving credit line, between CAD $105.0 million and CAD $121.0 million ($77.6 million and $89.5 million) under the Canada credit agreement, between AU $0.0 million and AU $100.0 million ($0.0 million and $69.1 million) under the Australia credit agreement, and between $0.0 million and $253.0 million under the revolving mortgage facility through Toyota Motor Credit Corporation in the U.S. The amounts outstanding under our floor plan agreements varied based on the timing of the receipt and expenditure of cash in our operations, driven principally by the levels of our vehicle inventories.
PTS Dividends
We hold a 28.9% ownership interest in PTS as noted above. Their partnership agreement requires PTS, subject to applicable law and the terms of its credit agreements, to make quarterly distributions to the partners with respect to each fiscal year by no later than 45 days after the end of each of the first three quarters of the year and by April 15 of the following year. PTS' partnership agreement and certain of its debt agreements allow partner distributions only as long as it is not in default under those agreements and the amount it pays does not exceed 50% of its consolidated net income, unless its debt-to-equity ratio is less than 3.0 to 1.0, in which case its distributions may not exceed 80% of its consolidated net income. We receive pro rata cash distributions relating to this investment, typically in April, May, August, and November of each year. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, and 2023, we received $68.3 million and $126.8 million, respectively, of pro rata cash distributions relating to this investment. We currently expect to continue to receive future distributions from PTS quarterly, subject to its financial performance.
Sale/Leaseback Arrangements
We have in the past and may in the future enter into sale-leaseback transactions to finance certain property acquisitions and capital expenditures, pursuant to which we sell property and/or leasehold improvements to third parties and agree to lease those assets back for a certain period of time. Such sales generate proceeds that vary from period to period.
Operating Leases
We estimate the total rent obligations under our operating leases, including any extension periods that we are reasonably certain to exercise at our discretion and assuming constant consumer price indices, to be $5.4 billion. As of September 30, 2024, we were in compliance with all financial covenants under these leases consisting principally of leases for dealership and other properties, and we believe we will remain in compliance with such covenants for the next twelve months. Refer to the disclosures provided in Part I, Item 1, Note 3 and Note 10 of the Notes to our Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements for a description of our operating leases.
Supplemental Guarantor Financial Information
The following is a description of the terms and conditions of the guarantees with respect to senior subordinated notes of Penske Automotive Group, Inc. ("PAG") as the issuer of the 3.50% Notes and the 3.75% Notes (collectively the "Senior Subordinated Notes").
Each of the Senior Subordinated Notes are unsecured, senior subordinated obligations and are guaranteed on an unsecured senior subordinated basis by our 100% owned U.S. subsidiaries ("Guarantor subsidiaries"). Each of the Senior Subordinated Notes also contains customary negative covenants and events of default. If we experience certain "change of control" events specified in their respective indentures, holders of these Senior Subordinated Notes will have the option to require us to purchase for cash all or a portion of their Senior Subordinated Notes at a price equal to 101% of the principal amount of the Senior Subordinated Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest. In addition, if we make certain asset sales and do not reinvest the proceeds thereof or use such proceeds to repay certain debt, we will be required to use the proceeds of such asset sales to make an offer to purchase the Senior Subordinated Notes at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Senior Subordinated Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest.
47

Guarantor subsidiaries are directly or indirectly 100% owned by PAG, and the guarantees are full and unconditional and joint and several. The guarantees may be released under certain circumstances upon resale or transfer by us of the stock of the related guarantor or all or substantially all of the assets of the guarantor to a non-affiliate. Non-wholly owned and foreign subsidiaries of PAG do not guarantee the Senior Subordinated Notes ("Non-Guarantor subsidiaries"). The following tables present summarized financial information for PAG and the Guarantor subsidiaries on a combined basis. The financial information of PAG and Guarantor subsidiaries is presented on a combined basis; intercompany balances and transactions between PAG and Guarantor subsidiaries have been eliminated; PAG's or Guarantor subsidiaries' amounts due from, amounts due to, and transactions with non-issuer and Non-Guarantor subsidiaries and related parties are disclosed separately.

We finance substantially all of the commercial vehicles we purchase for distribution, new vehicles for retail sale (however, see Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, "Overview" for a discussion of the agency model of distribution), and a portion of our used vehicle inventories for retail sale under floor plan and other revolving arrangements with various lenders, including the captive finance companies associated with automotive manufacturers. We retain the right to select which, if any, financing source to utilize in connection with the procurement of vehicle inventories. Many vehicle manufacturers provide vehicle financing for the dealers representing their brands; however, it is not a requirement that we utilize this financing. Historically, our floor plan finance source has been based on aggregate pricing considerations.
In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles relating to the statement of cash flows, we report all cash flows arising in connection with floor plan notes payable with the manufacturer of a particular new vehicle as an operating activity in our statement of cash flows, and we report all cash flows arising in connection with floor plan notes payable to a party other than the manufacturer of a particular new vehicle, all floor plan notes payable relating to pre-owned vehicles, and all floor plan notes payable related to our commercial vehicles in Australia and New Zealand as a financing activity in our statement of cash flows. Currently, the majority of our non-trade vehicle financing is with other manufacturer captive lenders. To date, we have not experienced any material limitation with respect to the amount or availability of financing from any institution providing us with vehicle financing.
We believe that changes in aggregate floor plan liabilities are typically linked to changes in vehicle inventory and therefore, are an integral part of understanding changes in our working capital and operating cash flow. As a result, we prepare the following reconciliation to highlight our operating cash flows with all changes in vehicle floor plan being classified as an operating activity for informational purposes:

Net cash provided by operating activities including all floor plan notes payable$923.9 $879.8 
Cash Flows from Investing Activities
Cash flows from investing activities consist primarily of cash used for capital expenditures and cash used for net expenditures for acquisitions and other investments. Capital expenditures were $282.6 million and $272.1 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Capital expenditures relate primarily to improvements to our existing dealership facilities, the construction of new facilities, the acquisition of the property or buildings associated with existing leased facilities, and the acquisition of land for future development. We currently expect to finance our capital expenditures with operating cash flows or borrowings under our credit agreements. Proceeds from the sale of dealerships were $28.2 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to no proceeds during the nine months ended September 30, 2023. Proceeds from the sale of property and equipment were $19.2 million and $30.7 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Cash used in acquisitions and other investments, net of cash acquired, was $637.4 million and $211.3 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and included cash used to repay sellers' floor plan liabilities in such business acquisitions of $179.9 million and $24.3 million.
Cash Flows from Financing Activities
Cash flows from financing activities include net borrowings of debt, net repayments of floor plan notes payable non-trade, repurchases of common stock, dividends, and payments for debt issuance costs.
We had net borrowings of debt of $234.8 million and $83.9 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. We had net repayments of floor plan notes payable non-trade of $38.2 million and $142.4 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. We repurchased 0.4 million and 2.5 million shares of common stock under our securities repurchase program for $58.1 million and $341.2 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. We acquired 0.12 million and 0.17 million shares from employees in connection with a net share settlement feature of employee equity awards for $18.4 million and $23.4 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. We also paid cash dividends to our stockholders of $194.7 million and $135.8 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. We made
49

payments for debt issuance costs of $1.0 million and $2.0 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2024, and 2023, respectively.
Tax Developments
Global Minimum Tax
The Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (“OECD”), an international association of thirty-eight countries including the United States, has proposed reform of international taxation known as Pillar Two, which imposes a global minimum corporate income tax rate of 15% on multinational companies. In December 2022, the European Union (“EU”) Member States formally adopted a directive that implements the OECD Pillar Two framework, which is expected to be enacted into the national laws of the EU member states. Certain countries in which we operate have enacted legislation to adopt the Pillar Two framework effective for the Company for the calendar year 2024. Several other countries are also considering changes to their local tax laws to implement this framework in the future. We expect enacted Pillar Two legislation to increase tax compliance obligations; however, we do not anticipate any monetary impact from any Pillar Two legislation as all of the jurisdictions in which we operate are expected to have an effective tax rate greater than the minimum threshold of 15%. We will continue to monitor new guidance in this area including proposed and enacted legislative changes as further information becomes available.
Related Party Transactions
Stockholders Agreement
Several of our directors and officers are affiliated with Penske Corporation or related entities. Roger Penske, our Chair of the Board and Chief Executive Officer, is also Chair of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of Penske Corporation and through entities affiliated with Penske Corporation is our largest stockholder owning approximately 51.6% of our outstanding common stock. Mitsui & Co., Ltd. and Mitsui & Co. (USA), Inc. (collectively, "Mitsui") own approximately 19.9% of our outstanding common stock. Mitsui, Penske Corporation and Penske Automotive Holdings Corp. (together with Penske Corporation, the "Penske companies") are parties to a stockholders agreement which expires March 26, 2030 (the "Stockholders Agreement"). Pursuant to the Stockholders Agreement, in connection with any shareholder election of directors, the Penske companies agreed to vote their shares for two directors who are representatives of Mitsui as long as Mitsui owns in excess of 20% of our outstanding common stock, and for one director as long as Mitsui owns in excess of 10% of our outstanding common stock. Mitsui agreed to vote its shares for up to fourteen directors voted for by the Penske companies.
Voting Agreement
Penske Corporation (“PC”) and the Company entered into a voting agreement (the “Voting Agreement”) pursuant to which PC agreed, on each matter brought to a vote at any annual or special meeting of our stockholders and in connection with any action proposed to be taken by consent of our stockholders in lieu of a meeting, to vote all shares of Voting Common Stock, or other voting or equity securities of ours which could be issued (together with the Voting Common Stock, the “Voting Securities”) beneficially owned by PC, that, together with the Voting Securities held by Roger S. Penske, our Chair and Chief Executive Officer, and any entity that Roger S. Penske controls, exceed 43.57% of the outstanding Voting Securities (the “Excess Voting Securities”), in the same proportion as all votes cast by stockholders other than PC, Roger S. Penske or any entity that Roger S. Penske controls (except as otherwise required by the existing PM Shareholders Agreement described below). Any Voting Securities that are not Excess Voting Securities may be voted at the discretion of PC. The Voting Agreement will terminate per its terms at the time that PC ceases to beneficially own 30% or more of the Voting Securities then outstanding. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Voting Agreement does not impact the provisions of the Stockholders Agreement noted above as currently in effect.

We sometimes pay to and/or receive fees from Penske Corporation, its subsidiaries, and its affiliates for services rendered in the ordinary course of business or to reimburse payments made to third parties on each other's behalf. These transactions are reviewed periodically by our Audit Committee and reflect the provider's cost or an amount mutually agreed upon by both parties.
We own a 28.9% interest in PTS. PTS, discussed previously, is owned 41.1% by Penske Corporation, 28.9% by us, and 30.0% by Mitsui. The PTS partnership agreement, among other things, provides us with specified partner distribution and governance rights and restricts our ability to transfer our interest. The partnership has an eleven-member Advisory Board. We have the right to appoint one Advisory Board member and appointed Robert H. Kurnick, Jr., our President. Lisa Davis and Michael Eisenson, our directors, are also members of the Advisory Board. We have the right to pro rata quarterly distributions equal to at least 50% of PTS' consolidated net income, as well as specified minority rights which require our and/or Mitsui's consent for certain actions taken by PTS as specified in the PTS partnership agreement.
Joint Venture Relationships
From time to time, we enter into joint venture relationships in the ordinary course of business, pursuant to which we own and operate automotive dealerships together with other investors. We may also provide these dealerships with working capital and other debt financing at costs that are based on our incremental borrowing rate. As of September 30, 2024, our automotive joint venture relationships were as follows:
LocationDealershipsOwnership Interest
Fairfield, ConnecticutAudi, Mercedes-Benz, Sprinter, Porsche80.00% (A)

(A) Entity is consolidated in our financial statements.
(B) Entity is accounted for using the equity method of accounting.
Additionally, we are party to non-automotive joint ventures representing our investments in PTS (28.9%) and Penske Commercial Leasing Australia (28%) that are accounted for under the equity method.
In September 2024, we purchased the remaining 33.33% interest in our joint venture in Kerpen, Germany. Additionally, in October 2024, we purchased an additional 10.9% interest in our joint venture in Northern Italy resulting in our owning 95% of this joint venture.
Cyclicality
Unit sales of motor vehicles, particularly new vehicles, have been cyclical historically, fluctuating with general economic cycles. During economic downturns, the automotive and truck retailing industries tend to experience periods of decline and recession similar to those experienced by the general economy. We believe that these industries are influenced by general economic conditions and particularly, by consumer confidence, the level of personal discretionary spending, the rate of inflation, including its impact on vehicle affordability, fuel prices, utility prices, interest rates, and credit availability.
Our business is dependent on a number of factors, including general economic conditions, the availability of vehicle inventory, fuel prices, utility prices, the rate of inflation, including its impact on vehicle affordability, interest rate fluctuations, credit availability, labor availability, environmental and other government regulations and incentives, and customer business cycles. U.S. light vehicle sales have ranged from a low of 10.4 million units in 2009 to a high of 17.5 million units in 2016. Unit sales of new commercial vehicles have historically been subject to substantial cyclical variation based on these general economic conditions. According to data published by ACT Research, in recent years, total U.S. retail sales of new Class 8 commercial vehicles have ranged from a low of approximately 97,000 in 2009 to a high of approximately 334,000 in 2019. Through geographic diversification, concentration on higher margin regular service and parts revenues, and diversification of our customer base, we have attempted to reduce the negative impact of adverse general economic conditions or cyclical trends affecting any one industry or geographic area on our earnings.
51

Seasonality
Retail Automotive Dealership. Our business is modestly seasonal overall. Our U.S. operations generally experience higher volumes of vehicle sales in the second and third quarters of each year due in part to consumer buying trends and the introduction of new vehicle models. Also, vehicle demand, and to a lesser extent demand for service and parts, is generally lower during the winter months than in other seasons, particularly in regions of the U.S. where dealerships may be subject to severe winters. Our U.K. operations generally experience higher volumes of new vehicle sales in the first and third quarters of each year, due primarily to new vehicle registration practices in the U.K.
Inflation
Many of the markets in which we operate have recently experienced higher rates of inflation when compared to historical norms. Inflation affects the price of vehicles, the price of parts, the rate of pay of our employees, consumer credit availability, and consumer demand. During 2022, used vehicle prices in particular experienced periods of significant inflation, and higher rates of inflation may adversely affect consumer demand and increase our costs, which may materially and adversely affect us.

Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties and are not assurances of future performance. Actual results may differ materially from anticipated results due to a variety of factors, including the factors identified in Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, Part II, Item 1A. "Risk Factors" in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly periods ended March 31, 2024, and June 30, 2024, and Part II, Item 1A. "Risk Factors" in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and our other periodic reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Important factors that could also cause actual results to differ materially from our expectations include the following:
our business and the automotive retail and commercial vehicles industries in general are susceptible to adverse economic and geo-political conditions, including changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, customer demand, customer confidence, the rate of inflation, including its impact on vehicle affordability, fuel and utility prices, unemployment rates and credit availability;
we depend on the success, popularity and availability of the brands we sell, and adverse conditions affecting one or more of these vehicle manufacturers, including the adverse impact on the vehicle and parts supply chain due to natural disasters, the shortage of vehicle components, international conflicts, challenges in sourcing labor, labor strikes, or work stoppages, or other disruptions that interrupt the supply of vehicles and parts to us may negatively impact our revenues and profitability;
the number of new and used vehicles sold in our markets, which impacts our ability to generate new and used vehicle gross profit and future service and parts operations;
the effect on our businesses of the changing retail environment due to certain manufacturers selling direct to consumers outside the franchise system, changes to an agency model of distribution in the U.K. and other European countries, and the growing number of electric vehicles;
the effect on our businesses of mobility technologies, such as Uber and Lyft, and the eventual availability of driverless vehicles;
vehicle manufacturers exercise significant control over our operations, and we depend on them and the continuation of our franchise and distribution agreements in order to operate our business;
we are subject to the risk that a substantial number of our new or used inventory may be unavailable due to inventory shortages, recalls, or other reasons;
the success of our commercial vehicle distribution operations and engine and power systems distribution operations depends upon continued availability of the vehicles, engines, power systems, and other parts we distribute, demand for those vehicles, engines, power systems, and parts and general economic conditions in those markets;
a restructuring of any significant vehicle manufacturer or supplier;
our operations may be affected by severe weather or other periodic business interruptions;
with respect to PTS, changes in the financial health of its customers, compliance costs, labor strikes or work stoppages with respect to its employees, a reduction in PTS' asset utilization rates, continued availability from truck manufacturers and suppliers of vehicles and parts for its fleet, including the effect of various government mandates concerning the electrification of its vehicle fleet, potential decreases in the resale value of used vehicles which may affect PTS' ability to sell its used vehicles after the expiration of its customers' leases or at the end of its holding period for rental vehicles, which may affect PTS' profitability, compliance costs in regard to its trucking fleet and truck drivers, its ability to retain qualified drivers and technicians, risks associated with its participation in multi-employer pension plans, conditions in the capital markets to assure PTS' continued availability of capital to purchase trucks, the effect of changes in lease accounting rules on PTS customers'
53

purchase/lease decisions, industry competition, new or enhanced regulatory requirements, emissions standards, vehicle mandates, changes in consumer sentiment regarding the transportation industry, and vulnerabilities with respect to its centralized information systems, each of which could impact equity earnings and distributions to us;
we have substantial risk of loss not covered by insurance;
we may not be able to satisfy our capital requirements for acquisitions, facility renovation projects, financing the purchase of our inventory, or refinancing of our debt when it becomes due;
our level of indebtedness and cash required for lease obligations may limit our ability to obtain financing generally and may require that a significant portion of our cash flow be used for debt service;
non-compliance with the financial ratios and other covenants under our credit agreements and operating leases;
higher interest rates may significantly increase our variable rate interest costs and because many customers finance their vehicle purchases, adversely impact vehicle affordability, and decrease vehicle sales;
our operations outside of the U.S. subject our profitability to fluctuations relating to changes in foreign currency values;
we are dependent on continued security and availability of our information technology systems and those of certain third-party providers to avoid significant business interruptions, which systems are increasingly threatened by ransomware and other cyber-attacks, such as the CDK Cybersecurity Incident discussed above;
we may be subject to significant litigation, fines, penalties, and other costs under applicable privacy laws and regulations if we do not maintain our confidential customer and employee information properly;
if we lose key personnel, especially our Chief Executive Officer, or are unable to attract additional qualified personnel;
new or enhanced regulations in both our domestic and international markets relating to automobile dealerships and vehicle sales, including those enacted in certain European countries and various U.S. states banning or taking actions to ban the sale of new vehicles with gasoline engines (with California requiring 35% of all new consumer vehicles to be emission free in 2026, 68% to be emission free by 2030, and 100% to be emission free by 2035, with some allowances for plug-in hybrid vehicles);
new or enhanced regulations, including those related to emissions standards, or changes in consumer sentiment relating to commercial truck sales that may hinder our or PTS' ability to maintain, acquire, sell, or operate trucks;
increased tariffs, import product restrictions, and foreign trade risks that may impair our ability to sell foreign vehicles profitably;
changes in tax, financial or regulatory rules, or requirements, including new regulations proposed by the Federal Trade Commission for automotive dealers that would change industry-accepted practices with regard to sales and advertising, require an extensive series of oral and written disclosures to consumers in regard to the sale price of vehicles, credit terms, and voluntary protection products, and impose burdensome recordkeeping requirements that may lead to additional transaction times for the sale of vehicles, complicate the transaction process, decrease customer satisfaction, and increase compliance costs and risk, among other effects;
we could be subject to legal and administrative proceedings which, if the outcomes are adverse to us, could have a material adverse effect on our business, including the result of the U.K. Financial Conduct Authority’s investigation of discretionary commission arrangements and potential remediation measures amid concerns these arrangements were unfair to customers as well as the resulting impact of a recent U.K. court judgment requiring the lenders in that case to repay the customers in that case the commissions paid to the dealers for their vehicle finance agreements discussed more fully in Part II, Item 1A. "Risk Factors" in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q;
if state dealer laws in the U.S. are repealed or weakened or new manufacturers such as those selling electric vehicles are able to conduct significant vehicle sales outside of the franchised automotive system, our automotive dealerships may be subject to increased competition and may be more susceptible to termination, non-renewal, or renegotiation of their franchise agreements;
54

we are subject to a wide range of environmental laws and regulations governing the use, generation, and disposal of materials used in our ordinary course of operations, and we face potentially significant costs relating to claims, penalties, and remediation efforts in the event of non-compliance with existing and future laws and regulations which may become more stringent in the face of climate change;
some of our directors and officers may have conflicts of interest with respect to certain related party transactions and other business interests; and
shares of our common stock eligible for future sale may cause the market price of our common stock to drop significantly, even if our business is doing well.
We urge you to carefully consider these risk factors and further information identified in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, Part II, Item 1A. "Risk Factors" in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly periods ended March 31, 2024, and June 30, 2024, and Part II, Item 1A. "Risk Factors" in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and our other periodic reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission in evaluating all forward-looking statements regarding our business. Readers of this report are cautioned not to place undue reliance on the forward-looking statements contained in this report. All forward-looking statements attributable to us are qualified in their entirety by this cautionary statement. Except to the extent required by the federal securities laws and the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and regulations, we have no intention or obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statements whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Interest Rates. We are exposed to market risk from changes in the interest rates on a significant portion of our outstanding debt. Outstanding revolving balances under our credit agreements bear interest at variable rates based on a margin over the prime rate, SOFR, SONIA, the Bank of England Base Rate, the Canadian Prime Rate, the Tokyo Interbank Offered Rate, or the Australian Bank Bill Swap Rate. Based on an average of the aggregate amounts outstanding under these facilities during the nine months ended September 30, 2024, a 100-basis-point change in interest rates would result in an approximate $4.0 million change to our annual other interest expense.
Similarly, amounts outstanding under floor plan financing arrangements bear interest at a variable rate based on a margin over the prime rate, SOFR, SONIA, the Bank of England Base Rate, the Finance House Base Rate, the Euro Interbank Offered Rate, the Canadian Prime Rate, the Australian Bank Bill Swap Rate, or the New Zealand Bank Bill Benchmark Rate. Based on an average of the aggregate amounts outstanding under our floor plan financing arrangements subject to variable interest payments during the nine months ended September 30, 2024, a 100-basis-point change in interest rates would result in an approximate $38.2 million change to our annual floor plan interest expense.
We evaluate our exposure to interest rate fluctuations and follow established policies and procedures to implement strategies designed to manage the amount of variable rate indebtedness outstanding at any point in time in an effort to mitigate the effect of interest rate fluctuations on our earnings and cash flows. These policies include:
the maintenance of our overall debt portfolio with fixed and variable rate components;
the use of authorized derivative instruments;
the prohibition of using derivatives for trading or other speculative purposes; and
the prohibition of highly leveraged derivatives, derivatives which we are unable to reliably value, or derivatives which we are unable to obtain a market quotation.
Interest rate fluctuations affect the fair market value of our fixed rate debt, including our swaps, mortgages, and certain seller financed promissory notes but with respect to such fixed rate debt instruments, do not impact our earnings or cash flows.
Foreign Currency Exchange Rates. As of September 30, 2024, we had consolidated operations in the U.K., Germany, Italy, Japan, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. In each of these markets, the local currency is the functional currency. In the event we change our intent with respect to the investment in any of our international operations, we would expect to implement strategies designed to manage those risks in an effort to mitigate the effect of foreign currency fluctuations on our earnings and cash flows. A ten percent change in average exchange rates versus the U.S. Dollar would have resulted in an approximate $974.4 million change to our revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2024.
55

We purchase certain of our new vehicles, parts, and other products from non-U.S. manufacturers. Although we purchase the majority of our inventories in the local functional currency, our business is subject to certain risks, including, but not limited to, differing economic conditions, changes in political climate, differing tax structures, changes in tax and tariff rates, other regulations and restrictions, and foreign currency exchange rate volatility, which may influence such manufacturers' ability to provide their products at competitive prices in the local jurisdictions. Our future results could be materially and adversely impacted by changes in these or other factors.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the principal executive and financial officers, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act")) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our principal executive and financial officers, to allow timely discussions regarding required disclosure.
Based upon this evaluation, our principal executive and financial officers concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report. In addition, we maintain internal controls designed to provide us with the information required for accounting and financial reporting purposes. There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the most recent quarter that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
56

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
From time to time, we are a party to litigation and other legal proceedings, including class action claims and purported class action claims, in the ordinary course of business. Such claims may be brought by governmental authorities, customers, vendors, stockholders, or employees. We are not a party to any legal proceedings, including class action lawsuits, that individually or in the aggregate are reasonably expected to have a material effect on us. However, the results of these matters cannot be predicted with certainty, and an unfavorable resolution of one or more of these matters could have a material adverse effect.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
In addition to the information set forth in this Form 10-Q, you should carefully consider the risk factors discussed in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, and Part II, Item 1A. "Risk Factors" in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly periods ended March 31, 2024 and June 30, 2024, along with our other periodic reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, which could materially affect our business, financial condition, or future results. The following disclosure further updates the risk factors included in our 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K:
Legal and Compliance Risks
Regulatory Issues. We are subject to a wide variety of regulatory activities and oversight, including:
Governmental regulations, claims, and legal proceedings. Governmental regulations affect almost every aspect of our business, including the fair treatment of our employees, wage and hour issues, and our financing activities with customers. In California, previous judicial decisions have called into question whether long-standing methods for compensating dealership employees comply with the local wage and hour rules and may do so again. We could be susceptible to claims or related actions if we fail to operate our business in accordance with applicable laws or it is determined that long-standing compensation methods did not comply with local laws. Many laws and regulations applicable to our business were adopted prior to the introduction of online vehicle sales, the Internet and certain digital technology, generally. As a result, we are tasked with maintaining compliance in an uncertain regulatory environment. Claims arising out of actual or alleged violations of law which may be asserted against us or any of our dealers by individuals, through class actions, or by governmental entities in civil or criminal investigations and proceedings, may expose us to substantial monetary damages which may adversely affect us.
Our financing activities with customers are subject to truth-in-lending, consumer leasing, equal credit opportunity, and similar regulations as well as motor vehicle finance laws, installment finance laws, insurance laws, usury laws, and other installment sales laws. In the U.K., the Financial Conduct Authority (the "FCA") regulates financial services firms and financial markets, including our activities in acting as broker for the financing of vehicle sales. The FCA has announced that it will investigate the historic use of discretionary commission arrangements ("DCAs") amid concerns that this practice may have been unfair to customers. The purpose of the investigation is to consider whether the historic use of DCAs caused customers to pay too much for their car loans and, if so, to consider potential remediation measures. The investigation is being undertaken after the Financial Ombudsman Service (a public body, which resolves financial complaints) determined that DCAs, in two separate cases which do not involve us, had caused financial losses to customers. We await the outcome of the FCA’s investigation which is expected in May of 2025. Any regulatory or judicial outcome that ultimately results in the refund of historical commissions paid to us or that reduces the commissions paid to us could materially and adversely affect us.
On October 25, 2024, the U.K. Court of Appeal (the second highest court in the U.K.) issued a judgment in the case Johnson v Firstrand Bank Ltd, Wrench v Firstrand Bank Ltd and Hopcraft v Close Brothers Ltd, which required those lenders to repay those customers the commissions paid to the dealers for their vehicle finance agreements, determining that, in those cases, there was a duty to the customers to disclose the amount of the commissions paid to those dealers. We believe this Judgment is contrary to existing guidance issued by the FCA and is expected to be appealed by those lenders. However, while this appeal process is pending (which is expected to take months), our U.K. consumer lending partners have begun to require changes in the process of financing the purchase of vehicles to our customers. Moreover the FCA has issued a statement that they are evaluating this new Judgment which may alter or accelerate the FCA’s investigation noted above.
57

In response to this Judgment, some of our lending partners have paused the issuance of new consumer financing as they evaluate this Judgment. Some of our lending partners are now requiring that we disclose the amount of any commissions we receive in connection with consumer financing, and we expect all of our lenders to make similar changes. Other lenders are now requiring that we receive only fixed commissions from our customers which commissions also are to be disclosed to the customers. We expect all of our U.K. lenders to implement additional disclosure forms for our customers pending further guidance. While this decision is appealed and pending further regulatory guidance, we may see pressure on the penetration and margins associated with our consumer financing in the U.K., although the effect of this new Judgment is uncertain. Moreover, while the focus of the FCA’s potential redress to customers, and the Judgment above, has been on the lenders and not dealers, we may experience claims for repayment of historical commissions we have received from customers, which amounts could materially and adversely affect us.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
During the three months ended September 30, 2024, we made no repurchases of our common stock under our securities repurchase program approved by our Board of Directors. As of September 30, 2024, $157.4 million remained outstanding and available for repurchases under this program. During the three months ended September 30, 2024, we acquired 476 shares of our common stock for $0.1 million, or an average of $167.14 per share, from employees in connection with a net share settlement feature of employee equity awards.

Unless the context otherwise requires, the use of the terms "PAG," "we," "us," and "our" in these Notes to the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements refers to Penske Automotive Group, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries.
Business Overview and Concentrations
We are a diversified international transportation services company and one of the world's premier automotive and commercial truck retailers. We operate dealerships in the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, Germany, Italy, Japan, and Australia, and we are one of the largest retailers of commercial trucks in North America for Freightliner. We also distribute and retail commercial vehicles, diesel and gas engines, power systems, and related parts and services principally in Australia and New Zealand. Additionally, we own 28.9% of Penske Transportation Solutions, a business that manages one of the largest, most comprehensive and modern trucking fleets in North America with trucks, tractors, and trailers under lease, rental, and/or maintenance contracts, and provides innovative transportation, supply chain, and technology solutions to its customers.
Retail Automotive. As of September 30, 2024, we operated 360 retail automotive franchised dealerships, of which 149 are located in the U.S. and 211 are located outside of the U.S. The franchised dealerships outside of the U.S. are located primarily in the U.K. As of September 30, 2024, we also operated 16 used vehicle dealerships, with six dealerships in the U.S., nine dealerships in the U.K., and one dealership in Australia.
Each of our franchised dealerships offers a wide selection of new and used vehicles for sale. In addition to selling new and used vehicles, we generate higher-margin revenue at each of our dealerships through maintenance and repair services, the sale and placement of third-party finance and insurance products, third-party extended service and maintenance contracts, replacement and aftermarket automotive products, and at certain of our locations, collision repair services. We operate our franchised dealerships under franchise agreements with a number of automotive manufacturers and distributors that are subject to certain rights and restrictions typical of the industry. Beginning in 2023, we transitioned some of our dealerships in the U.K. and Europe to an agency model under which we receive a fee for facilitating the sale by the manufacturer of a new vehicle but do not hold the vehicle in inventory. Vehicles sold under this agency model are counted as new agency units sold instead of new retail units sold by us, and only the fee we receive from the manufacturer, not the price of the vehicle, is reported as new revenue (as opposed to previously recording all of the vehicle sale price as new revenue) with no corresponding cost of sale. We continue to provide new vehicle customer service under the agency model, and the agency model at this time has not changed our used vehicle sales operations or service and parts operations, although the long-term impact of the agency model at these dealerships, as well as other agency models proposed by our manufacturer partners, is uncertain.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we acquired 16 retail automotive franchises and opened one retail automotive franchise in the U.K., acquired two Ford franchises and one Chrysler/Dodge/Jeep/Ram dealership in the U.S., acquired two retail automotive franchises in Italy, acquired two retail automotive franchises and one used vehicle dealership in Australia, and opened one retail automotive franchise in Germany. In the U.S., we closed one Jaguar franchise, one Chrysler/Dodge/Jeep/Ram dealership, and one used vehicle dealership, and in the U.K., we closed one used vehicle dealership and sold two used vehicle dealerships. In July 2024, we transitioned our remaining U.K. CarShop locations to Sytner Select dealerships, incorporating them within the broader Sytner network. In October 2024, we signed an agreement to acquire a third Porsche dealership in Melbourne, Australia, subject to customary closing conditions. This dealership will be acquired from Porsche Retail Group Australia Pty Ltd. and will complement the two Porsche dealerships we acquired in Melbourne during the second quarter of 2024.
Retail Commercial Truck Dealership. We operate Premier Truck Group ("PTG"), a heavy- and medium-duty truck dealership group offering primarily Freightliner and Western Star trucks (both Daimler brands), with locations across 11 U.S. states and the Canadian provinces of Ontario and Manitoba. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we acquired three full-service dealerships and two independent repair facilities in the U.S., and we closed two locations in the U.S. As of September 30, 2024, PTG operated 46 locations selling new and/or used trucks, performing service and parts operations, or offering collision repair services.
Penske Australia. Penske Australia is the exclusive importer and distributor of Western Star heavy-duty trucks (a Daimler brand), MAN heavy- and medium-duty trucks and buses (a VW Group brand), and Dennis Eagle refuse collection vehicles, together with associated parts, across Australia, New Zealand, and portions of the Pacific. In most of these same markets, we are also a leading distributor of diesel and gas engines and power systems, principally representing MTU (a Rolls-Royce solution), Detroit Diesel, Allison Transmission, and Bergen Engines. Penske Australia offers products across the on- and off-highway markets, including in the trucking, mining, power generation, defense, marine, rail, and construction sectors and supports full parts and aftersales service through a network of branches, field service locations, and dealers across the region.
Penske Transportation Solutions. We hold a 28.9% ownership interest in Penske Truck Leasing Co., L.P. ("PTL"). PTL is owned 41.1% by Penske Corporation, 28.9% by us, and 30.0% by Mitsui & Co., Ltd. ("Mitsui"). We account for our investment in PTL under the equity method, and we therefore record our share of PTL's earnings on our statements of income under the caption "Equity in earnings of affiliates," which also includes the results of our other equity method investments. Penske Transportation Solutions ("PTS") is the universal brand name for PTL's various business lines through which it is capable of meeting customers' needs across the supply chain with a broad product offering that includes full-service truck leasing, truck rental, and contract maintenance along with logistic services, such as dedicated contract carriage, distribution center management, freight management, and dry van truckload carrier services.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements of PAG have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). Certain information and disclosures normally included in our annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("U.S. GAAP") have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the SEC rules and regulations. The information presented as of September 30, 2024 and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 is unaudited but includes all adjustments which our management believes to be necessary for the fair presentation of results for the periods presented. Results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the year. These consolidated condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023, which are included as part of our Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The accounts requiring the use of estimates include accounts receivable, inventories, income taxes, intangible assets, leases, and certain reserves.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Accounting standards define fair value as the price that would be received from selling an asset, or paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Accounting standards establish a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value and also establishes the following three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
Level 1Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
Level 2Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted market prices in markets that are not active, or model-derived valuations or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities
Level 3Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities
Our financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, debt, floor plan notes payable, and forward exchange contracts used to hedge future cash flows. Other than our fixed rate debt, the carrying amount of all significant financial
instruments approximates fair value due either to length of maturity, the existence of variable interest rates that approximate prevailing market rates, or as a result of mark to market accounting.
Our fixed rate debt consists of amounts outstanding under our senior subordinated notes and mortgage facilities. We estimate the fair value of our senior unsecured notes using quoted prices for the identical liability (Level 2), and we estimate the fair value of our mortgage facilities using a present value technique based on our current market interest rates for similar types of financial instruments (Level 2). A summary of our fixed rate debt is as follows:
September 30, 2024December 31, 2023
Carrying ValueFair ValueCarrying Value Fair Value
3.50% senior subordinated notes due 2025
548.8 540.0 547.7 $529.7 
3.75% senior subordinated notes due 2029
496.4 463.1 495.8 444.4 
Mortgage facilities (1)
570.4 550.5 402.1 378.5 
_____________________
(1)In addition to fixed rate debt, our mortgage facilities also include revolving mortgage facilities through Toyota Motor Credit Corporation that bear interest at variable rates. The fair value equals the carrying value.
Income Taxes
Tax regulations may require items to be included in our tax return at different times than when those items are reflected in our financial statements. Some of the differences are permanent, such as expenses that are not deductible on our tax return, and some are temporary differences, such as the timing of depreciation expense. Temporary differences create deferred tax assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets generally represent items that will be used as a tax deduction or credit in our tax return in future years which we have already recorded in our financial statements. Deferred tax liabilities generally represent deductions taken on our tax return that have not yet been recognized as an expense in our financial statements. We establish valuation allowances for our deferred tax assets if the amount of expected future taxable income is not more likely than not to allow for the use of the deduction or credit.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Reference Rate Reform
In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, "Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting." This ASU provides optional guidance for a limited time to ease the potential burden in accounting for reference rate reform. The new guidance provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying U.S. GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. The amendments apply only to contracts and hedging relationships that reference the London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") or another reference rate expected to be discontinued due to reference rate reform. Additionally, entities can elect to continue applying hedge accounting for hedging relationships affected by reference rate reform if certain conditions are met. In January 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-01, "Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Scope." This ASU refines the scope of ASC 848 and clarifies some of its guidance as part of the Board's monitoring of global reference rate reform activities. The ASU permits entities to elect certain optional expedients and exceptions when accounting for derivative contracts and certain hedging relationships affected by changes in the interest rates used for discounting cash flows, for computing variation margin settlements, and for calculating price alignment interest in connection with reference rate reform activities. In December 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-06, "Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Deferral of the Sunset Date of Topic 848." This ASU defers the sunset date of Topic 848 from December 31, 2022, to December 31, 2024, after which entities will no longer be permitted to apply the relief in Topic 848. These new standards were effective upon issuance and generally can be applied to applicable contract modifications. While some of our floorplan arrangements and certain credit agreements had historically used LIBOR as a benchmark for calculating the applicable interest rate, all of our agreements previously utilizing LIBOR have transitioned to an alternative benchmark rate on or before July 1, 2023. These changes have not had a significant impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations, and cash flows.
Segment Reporting
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, "Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures." This ASU expands public entities’ segment disclosures by requiring disclosure of significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker and included within each reported
measure of segment profit or loss and also requires that public entities provide all annual disclosures about a reportable segment’s profit or loss and assets in interim periods. This ASU is effective for financial statements issued for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments should be applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting this ASU on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures.
Income Taxes
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, "Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures." This ASU expands public entities’ annual income tax disclosures by requiring disclosure of specific categories in the rate reconciliation and disclosure of additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold. This ASU is effective for financial statements issued for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The amendments should be applied on a prospective basis with retrospective application permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting this ASU on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

Revenues
9 Months Ended
Sep. 30, 2024
Revenue from Contract with Customer [Abstract]  
Revenues Revenues
Automotive and commercial truck dealerships generate the majority of our revenues. New and used vehicle revenues typically include sales to retail customers, to fleet customers, and to leasing companies providing consumer leasing. We generate finance and insurance revenues from sales of third-party extended service contracts, sales of third-party insurance policies, commissions relating to the sale of finance and lease contracts to third parties, and the sales of certain other products. Service and parts revenues include fees paid by customers for repair, maintenance and collision services, and the sale of replacement parts and other aftermarket accessories as well as warranty repairs that are reimbursed directly by various vehicle manufacturers. Revenues are recognized upon satisfaction of our performance obligations under contracts with our customers and are measured at the amount of consideration we expect to be entitled to in exchange for transferring goods or providing services. A discussion of revenue recognition by reportable segment is included below.
Retail Automotive and Retail Commercial Truck Dealership Revenue Recognition
Dealership Vehicle Sales. We record revenue for vehicle sales at a point in time when vehicles are delivered, which is when the transfer of title, risks and rewards of ownership, and control are considered passed to the customer. The amount of consideration we receive for vehicle sales, including any non-cash consideration representing the fair value of trade-in vehicles if applicable, is stated within the executed contract with our customer. Payment is typically due and collected within 30 days subsequent to transfer of control of the vehicle. For dealerships operating under an agency model, we receive a commission for each vehicle sale that we facilitate under the terms of the agency agreement with the manufacturer, which is recorded as new vehicle revenue.
Dealership Parts and Service Sales. We record revenue for vehicle service and collision work over time as work is completed and when parts are delivered to our customers. For service and parts revenues recorded over time, we utilize a method that considers total costs incurred to date and the applicable margin in relation to total expected efforts to complete our performance obligation in order to determine the appropriate amount of revenue to recognize over time. Recognition of this revenue over time reflects the amount of consideration we expect to be entitled to for the transfer of goods and services performed to date, representative of the amount for which we have a right to payment. The amount of consideration we receive for parts and service sales, including collision repair work, is based upon labor hours expended and parts utilized to perform and complete the necessary services to our customers. Payment is typically due upon delivery or within a period of time shortly thereafter. We receive payment from our customers upon transfer of control or within a period typically less than 30 days subsequent to the completion of services for the customer. We allow for customer returns of parts sales up to 30 days after the sale.
Dealership Finance and Insurance Sales. Subsequent to the sale of a vehicle to a customer, we sell installment sale contracts to various financial institutions on a non-recourse basis (with specified exceptions) to mitigate the risk of default. We receive a commission from the lender equal to either the difference between the interest rate charged to the customer and the interest rate set by the financing institution or a flat fee. We also receive commissions for facilitating the sale of various products to customers, including voluntary vehicle protection insurance, vehicle theft protection, and extended service contracts. These commissions are recorded as revenue at a point in time when the customer enters into the contract. Payment is typically due and collected within 30 days subsequent to the execution of the contract with the customer.
In the case of finance contracts, a customer may prepay or fail to pay their contract, thereby terminating the contract.
Customers may also terminate extended service contracts and other insurance products, which are fully paid at purchase, and become eligible for refunds of unused premiums. In these circumstances, a portion of the commissions we received may be charged back based on the terms of the contracts. The revenue we record relating to these transactions is net of an estimate of the amount of chargebacks we will be required to pay. Our estimate is based upon our historical experience with similar contracts, including the impact of refinance and default rates on retail finance contracts and cancellation rates on extended service contracts and other insurance products. Aggregate reserves relating to chargeback activity were $48.4 million and $42.7 million as of September 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023, respectively.
Commercial Vehicle Distribution and Other Revenue Recognition
Penske Australia. We record revenue from the distribution of vehicles and other products at a point in time when delivered, which is when the transfer of title, risks and rewards of ownership, and control are considered passed to the customer. We record revenue for service or repair work over time as work is completed and when parts are delivered to our customers. For service and parts revenues recorded over time, we utilize a method that considers total costs incurred to date and the applicable margin in relation to total expected efforts to complete our performance obligation in order to determine the appropriate amount of revenue to recognize over time. Recognition of this revenue over time reflects the amount of consideration we expect to be entitled to for the transfer of goods and services performed to date, representative of the amount for which we have a right to payment.
The amount of consideration we receive for vehicle and product sales is stated within the executed contract with our customer. The amount of consideration we receive for parts and service sales is based upon labor hours expended and parts utilized to perform and complete the necessary services to our customers. Payment is typically due upon delivery, upon invoice, or within a period of time shortly thereafter. We receive payment from our customers upon transfer of control or within a period typically within 45 days subsequent to transfer of control or invoice.
We record revenue from the distribution of engines and other products at a point in time when delivered, which is when the transfer of title, risks and rewards of ownership, and control are considered passed to the customer. We record revenue for service or repair work over time as work is completed and when parts are delivered to our customers. For service and parts revenues recorded over time, we utilize a method that considers total costs incurred to date and the applicable margin in relation to total expected efforts to complete our performance obligation in order to determine the appropriate amount of revenue to recognize over time. Recognition of revenue over time reflects the amount of consideration we expect to be entitled to for the transfer of goods and services performed to date, representative of the amount for which we have a right to payment.
For our long-term power generation contracts, we record revenue over time as services are provided in accordance with contract milestones, which is considered an output method that requires judgment to determine our progress towards contract completion and the corresponding amount of revenue to recognize. Any revisions to estimates related to revenues or costs to complete contracts are recorded in the period in which the revisions to estimates are identified and the amounts can be reasonably estimated.
The amount of consideration we receive for engine, product, and power generation sales is stated within the executed contract with our customer. The amount of consideration we receive for service sales is based upon labor hours expended and parts utilized to perform and complete the necessary services to our customers. Payment is typically due upon delivery, upon invoice, or within a period of time shortly thereafter. We receive payment from our customers upon transfer of control or within a period typically within 45 days subsequent to transfer of control or invoice.

Accrued expenses
Unearned revenues$312.6 $280.2 
Contracts in transit represent receivables from unaffiliated finance companies relating to the sale of customers' installment sales and lease contracts arising in connection with the sale of a vehicle by us. Vehicle receivables represent receivables for any portion of the vehicle sales price not paid by the finance company. Manufacturer receivables represent amounts due from manufacturers, including incentives, holdbacks, rebates, warranty claims, and other receivables due from the factory. Trade receivables represent receivables due from customers, including amounts due for parts and service sales as well as receivables due from finance companies and others for the commissions earned on financing and commissions earned on insurance and extended service products provided by third parties. We evaluate collectability of receivables and estimate an allowance for doubtful accounts based on the age of the receivable, contractual life, historical collection experience, current conditions, and forecasts of future economic conditions, which is recorded within "Accounts receivable" on our consolidated balance sheets with our receivables presented net of the allowance.
Unearned revenues primarily relate to payments received from customers prior to satisfaction of our performance obligations, such as refundable customer deposits, non-refundable customer deposits, and deferred revenues from operating leases. These amounts are presented within "Accrued expenses and other current liabilities" on our consolidated balance sheets. Of the amounts recorded as unearned revenues as of December 31, 2023, $176.6 million was recognized as revenue during the nine months ended September 30, 2024.
Additional Revenue Recognition Related Policies
We do not have any material significant payment terms associated with contracts with our customers. Payment is due and collected as previously detailed for each reportable segment. We do not offer material rights of return or service-type warranties.
Taxes collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities are recorded on a net basis (excluded from revenue). Shipping costs incurred subsequent to transfer of control to our customers are recognized as cost of sales. Sales promotions that we offer to customers are accounted for as a reduction of revenues at the time of sale.

Leases

Leases [Abstract]  
Leases Leases
We lease land and facilities, including certain dealerships and office space. Our property leases are generally for an initial period between 5 and 20 years and are typically structured to include renewal options at our election. We include renewal options that we are reasonably certain to exercise in the measurement of our lease liabilities and right-of-use assets. We also have equipment leases that primarily relate to office and computer equipment, service and shop equipment, company vehicles, and other miscellaneous items. These leases are generally for a period of less than 5 years. We do not have any material leases, individually or in the aggregate, classified as a finance leasing arrangement.
We estimate the total undiscounted rent obligations under these leases, including any extension periods that we are reasonably certain to exercise, to be $5.4 billion as of September 30, 2024. Some of our lease arrangements include rental payments that are adjusted based on an index or rate, such as the Consumer Price Index (CPI). As the rate implicit in the lease is generally not readily determinable for our operating leases, the discount rates used to determine the present value of our lease liability are based on our incremental borrowing rate at the lease commencement date and commensurate with the remaining lease term. Our incremental borrowing rate for a lease is the rate of interest we would have to pay to borrow on a
collateralized basis over a similar term for an amount equal to the lease payments in a similar economic environment. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet.
Pursuant to the leases for some of our larger facilities, we are required to comply with specified financial ratios, including a "rent coverage" ratio and a ratio of debt to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization ("EBITDA"), each as defined. For these leases, non-compliance with the ratios may require us to post collateral in the form of a letter of credit. A breach of the other lease covenants gives rise to certain remedies by the landlord, the most severe of which include the termination of the applicable lease and acceleration of the total rent payments due under the lease.
In connection with the sale, relocation, and closure of certain of our dealerships, we have entered into a number of third-party sublease agreements. The rent paid by our sub-tenants on such properties was $4.4 million and $12.0 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, and $4.2 million and $12.7 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively. We have in the past and may in the future enter into sale-leaseback transactions to finance certain property acquisitions and capital expenditures, pursuant to which we sell property to third parties and agree to lease those assets back for a certain period of time. Such sales generate proceeds that vary from period to period. We do not have any material leases that have not yet commenced as of September 30, 2024.
The following table summarizes our net operating lease cost during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023:

During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we acquired 16 retail automotive franchises in the U.K., acquired two retail automotive franchises in Italy, and acquired two retail automotive franchises and one used vehicle dealership in Australia, and acquired one Ford franchise in the U.S. We also acquired three full-service dealerships and two independent repair facilities in the U.S. adding to PTG's operations. The companies acquired during the nine months ended September 30, 2024, generated $812.2 million of revenue and $18.2 million of pre-tax income from our date of acquisition through September 30, 2024. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we acquired three full-service commercial truck dealerships and two service and parts centers in Canada adding to PTG's operations. We also acquired two retail automotive franchises in the U.S. Our financial statements include the results of operations of the acquired entities from the date of acquisition. The fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed have been recorded in our consolidated condensed financial statements and may be subject to adjustment pending completion of final valuation. The following table summarizes the aggregate consideration paid and the aggregate amounts of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023:

Vehicle Financing Vehicle Financing
We finance substantially all of the commercial vehicles we purchase for distribution, new vehicles for retail sale, and a portion of our used vehicle inventories for retail sale under floor plan and other revolving arrangements with various lenders, including the captive finance companies associated with automotive manufacturers. In the U.S., the floor plan arrangements are due on demand; however, we have not historically been required to repay floor plan advances prior to the sale of the vehicles that have been financed. We typically make monthly interest payments on the amount financed. Outside of the U.S., substantially all of the floor plan arrangements are payable on demand or have an original maturity of 90 days or less, and we are generally required to repay floor plan advances at the earlier of the sale of the vehicles that have been financed or the stated maturity.
The agreements typically grant a security interest in substantially all of the assets of our dealership and distribution subsidiaries and in the U.S., Australia, and New Zealand are guaranteed or partially guaranteed by us. Interest rates under the arrangements are variable and increase or decrease based on changes in the prime rate, the Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR"), the Sterling Overnight Index Average ("SONIA"), the Bank of England Base Rate, the Finance House Base Rate, the Euro Interbank Offered Rate, the Canadian Prime Rate, the Tokyo Interbank Offered Rate, the Australian Bank Bill Swap Rate, or the New Zealand Bank Bill Benchmark Rate. To date, we have not experienced any material limitation with respect to the amount or availability of financing from any institution providing us with vehicle financing. We also receive non-refundable credits from certain of our vehicle manufacturers, which are treated as a reduction of cost of sales as vehicles are sold.
The weighted average interest rate on floor plan borrowings was 5.0% and 4.4% for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. We classify floor plan notes payable to a party other than the manufacturer of a particular new vehicle and all floor plan notes payable relating to pre-owned vehicles as "Floor plan notes payable — non-trade" on our consolidated balance sheets and classify related cash flows as a financing activity on our consolidated statements of cash flows.

Earnings Per Share Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income attributable to common stockholders by the number of weighted average shares of voting common stock outstanding, including unvested restricted stock awards which contain rights to non-forfeitable dividends. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income attributable to common stockholders by the number of weighted average shares of voting common stock outstanding, adjusted for the dilutive impact of unissued shares paid to directors during the year as compensation.

U.S. Credit Agreement
Our U.S. Credit Agreement with Mercedes-Benz Financial Services USA LLC, Toyota Motor Credit Corporation, and Daimler Truck Financial Services USA LLC (as amended, the "U.S. Credit Agreement") provides for up to $1.2 billion in
revolving loans for working capital, acquisitions, capital expenditures, investments, and other general corporate purposes and provides up to an additional $75 million of letters of credit. The U.S. Credit Agreement provides for a maximum of $400 million of borrowings for foreign acquisitions and expires on September 30, 2027. The interest rate on revolving loans is based on an adjusted Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") plus 1.50%, with uncollateralized borrowings in excess of a defined borrowing base bearing interest at adjusted SOFR plus 3.00%.
The U.S. credit agreement is fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a joint and several basis by substantially all of our U.S. subsidiaries and contains a number of significant operating covenants that, among other things, restrict our ability to dispose of assets, incur additional indebtedness, repay certain other indebtedness, pay dividends, create liens on assets, make investments or acquisitions, and engage in mergers or consolidations. We are also required to comply with specified financial and other tests and ratios, each as defined in the U.S. credit agreement, including a ratio of current assets to current liabilities, a fixed charge coverage ratio, a ratio of debt to stockholders' equity, and a ratio of debt to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization ("EBITDA"). A breach of these requirements would give rise to certain remedies under the agreement, the most severe of which is the termination of the agreement and acceleration of the amounts owed.
The U.S. credit agreement also contains typical events of default, including change of control, non-payment of obligations, and cross-defaults to our other material indebtedness. Substantially all of our U.S. assets are subject to security interests granted to the lenders under the U.S. credit agreement. As of September 30, 2024, we had no revolver borrowings under the U.S. credit agreement.
U.K. Credit Agreement
Our U.K. credit agreement with the National Westminster Bank Plc and BMW Financial Services (GB) Limited provides up to a £200.0 million revolving line of credit to be used for working capital, acquisitions, capital expenditures, investments, and general corporate purposes. The revolving loans bear interest between defined Sterling Overnight Index Average (“SONIA”) plus 1.10% and defined SONIA plus 2.10%. In addition, the U.K. credit agreement includes a £100.0 million “accordion” feature which allows the U.K. subsidiaries to request up to an additional £100.0 million of facility capacity, subject to certain limitations. The lenders may agree to provide additional capacity, and, if not, the U.K. subsidiaries may add an additional lender, if available, to the facility to provide such additional capacity. Our U.K. credit agreement expires in January 2028. The U.K. credit agreement is guaranteed by the holding company of a majority of our international subsidiaries, PAG International Ltd. As of September 30, 2024, we had £61.0 million ($81.6 million) revolver borrowings under the U.K. credit agreement.
The U.K. credit agreement is fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a joint and several basis by our U.K. subsidiaries, and contains a number of significant covenants that, among other things, limit the ability of our U.K. subsidiaries to pay dividends, dispose of assets, incur additional indebtedness, repay other indebtedness, create liens on assets, make investments or acquisitions and engage in mergers or consolidations. In addition, our U.K. subsidiaries are required to comply with defined ratios and tests, including: a ratio of earnings before interest, taxes, amortization, and rental payments (“EBITAR”) to interest plus rental payments, a measurement of maximum capital expenditures, and a debt to EBITDA ratio. A breach of these requirements would give rise to certain remedies under the U.K. credit agreement, the most severe of which is the termination of the agreement and acceleration of any amounts owed.
The U.K. credit agreement also contains typical events of default, including change of control and non-payment of obligations and cross-defaults to other material indebtedness of our U.K. subsidiaries. Substantially all of our U.K. subsidiaries’ assets are subject to security interests granted to the lenders under the U.K. credit agreement.
Senior Subordinated Notes
We have issued the following senior subordinated notes:
DescriptionMaturity DateInterest Payment DatesPrincipal Amount
3.50% Notes
September 1, 2025February 15, August 15$550 million
3.75% Notes
June 15, 2029June 15, December 15$500 million
Each of these notes are our unsecured, senior subordinated obligations and are guaranteed on an unsecured senior subordinated basis by our 100% owned U.S. subsidiaries. Each also contains customary negative covenants and events of default. If we experience certain "change of control" events specified in the indentures, holders of these notes will have the option to require us to purchase for cash all or a portion of their notes at a price equal to 101% of the principal amount of
the notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest. In addition, if we make certain asset sales and do not reinvest the proceeds thereof or use such proceeds to repay certain debt, we will be required to use the proceeds of such asset sales to make an offer to purchase the notes at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest. We may redeem the 3.50% Notes and the 3.75% Notes at the redemption prices noted in the respective indentures. Our 3.50% Notes that mature on September 1, 2025, were reclassified to current during the third quarter of 2024.
Canada Credit Agreement
One of our Canadian subsidiaries is party to a CAD $150.0 million revolving line of credit with Daimler Truck Financial Services Canada Corporation ("DTFS") which we use in relation to our Canadian Premier Truck Group retail operations (the "Canada credit agreement"). The Canada credit agreement bears interest at a rate of Canadian Prime (determined by the Royal Bank of Canada) ("Canadian Prime Rate") minus 0.50%; provided that DTFS is entitled to demand repayment of any outstanding borrowings under the Canada revolving note and, following such demand, the interest rate on outstanding borrowings shall be increased to the Canadian Prime Rate plus 2.00%. The Canada credit agreement is guaranteed by PAG International Ltd. As of September 30, 2024, we had CAD $121.0 million ($89.5 million) of outstanding borrowings under the Canada credit agreement.
Australia Credit Agreement
Penske Australia is party to an AU $100.0 million credit agreement with Daimler Truck Financial Services Australia Pty Ltd (the "Australia credit agreement"). The Australia credit agreement provides the lender with a secured interest in all assets of these businesses, is terminable with six months' notice, and carries an interest rate of Australian BBSW 30-day Bill Rate plus 2.29%. As of September 30, 2024, we had AU $66.5 million ($46.0 million) outstanding borrowings under the Australia credit agreement.
Mortgage Facilities
We are party to mortgages that bear interest at defined rates and require monthly principal and interest payments. We also have a revolving mortgage facility with Toyota Motor Credit Corporation in the U.S. Our maximum borrowing capacity under the mortgage facility is $350.0 million, contingent on property values. Our actual borrowing capacity as of September 30, 2024, was $335.7 million. The facility bears interest at the prime rate minus 1.68% and expires in December 2028. As of September 30, 2024, we had $205.0 million outstanding borrowings under this mortgage facility. Our mortgage facilities also contain typical events of default, including non-payment of obligations, cross-defaults to our other material indebtedness, certain change of control events, and the loss or sale of certain dealerships operated at the properties. Substantially all of the buildings and improvements on the properties financed pursuant to the mortgage facilities are subject to security interests granted to the lender. As of September 30, 2024, we owed $570.4 million of principal under all of our mortgage facilities.

Commitments and Contingent Liabilities Commitments and Contingent Liabilities
We are involved in litigation which may relate to claims brought by governmental authorities, issues with customers, and employment related matters, including class action claims and purported class action claims. As of September 30, 2024, we were not party to any legal proceedings, including class action lawsuits that, individually or in the aggregate, are reasonably expected to have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition, or cash flows. However, the results of these matters cannot be predicted with certainty, and an unfavorable resolution of one or more of these matters could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition, or cash flows.
We lease land and facilities, including certain dealerships and office space. Pursuant to the leases for some of our larger facilities, we are required to comply with specified financial ratios, including a "rent coverage" ratio and a debt to EBITDA ratio, each as defined. For these leases, non-compliance with the ratios may require us to post collateral in the form of a letter of credit. A breach of the other lease covenants gives rise to certain remedies by the landlord, the most severe of which include the termination of the applicable lease and acceleration of the total rent payments due under the lease. Refer to the disclosures provided in Note 3 for further description of our leases.
We have sold a number of dealerships to third parties and as a condition to certain of those sales, remain liable for the lease payments relating to the properties on which those businesses operate in the event of non-payment by the buyer. We are also party to lease agreements on properties that we no longer use in our retail operations that we have sublet to third parties. We rely on subtenants to pay the rent and maintain the property at these locations. In the event the subtenant does not perform as expected, we may not be able to recover amounts owed to us, and we could be required to fulfill these obligations. We believe we have made appropriate reserves relating to these locations.
Our floor plan credit agreements with Daimler Truck Financial Services Australia and Mercedes-Benz Financial Services New Zealand ("MBA") provide us revolving loans for the acquisition of commercial vehicles for distribution to our retail network. These facilities include a commitment to repurchase dealer vehicles in the event the dealer's floor plan agreement with MBA is terminated.
We have $14.0 million of letters of credit outstanding and $18.5 million of bank guarantees as of September 30, 2024, and have posted $24.1 million of surety bonds in the ordinary course of business.

Segment Information Segment Information
Our operations are organized by management into operating segments by line of business and geography. We have determined that we have four reportable segments as defined in generally accepted accounting principles for segment reporting: (i) Retail Automotive, consisting of our retail automotive dealership operations; (ii) Retail Commercial Truck, consisting of our retail commercial truck dealership operations in the U.S. and Canada; (iii) Other, consisting of our commercial vehicle and power systems distribution operations; and (iv) Non-Automotive Investments, consisting of our equity method investments in non-automotive operations which includes our investment in PTS and other various investments. The Retail Automotive reportable segment includes all automotive dealerships and all departments relevant to the operation of the dealerships and our retail automotive joint ventures. The individual dealership operations included in the Retail Automotive reportable segment represent two operating segments: United States Retail Automotive and International Retail Automotive. These operating segments have been aggregated into one reportable segment as their operations (A) have similar economic characteristics (all are automotive dealerships having similar margins), (B) offer similar products and services (all sell new and/or used vehicles, service, parts, and third-party finance and insurance products), (C) have similar target markets and customers (generally individuals), and (D) have similar distribution and marketing practices (all distribute products and services through dealership facilities that market to customers in similar fashions).

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]  
Basis of Presentation
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements of PAG have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). Certain information and disclosures normally included in our annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("U.S. GAAP") have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the SEC rules and regulations. The information presented as of September 30, 2024 and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 is unaudited but includes all adjustments which our management believes to be necessary for the fair presentation of results for the periods presented. Results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the year. These consolidated condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023, which are included as part of our Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Estimates
Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The accounts requiring the use of estimates include accounts receivable, inventories, income taxes, intangible assets, leases, and certain reserves.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Accounting standards define fair value as the price that would be received from selling an asset, or paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Accounting standards establish a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value and also establishes the following three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
Level 1Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
Level 2Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted market prices in markets that are not active, or model-derived valuations or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities
Level 3Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities
Our financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, debt, floor plan notes payable, and forward exchange contracts used to hedge future cash flows. Other than our fixed rate debt, the carrying amount of all significant financial
instruments approximates fair value due either to length of maturity, the existence of variable interest rates that approximate prevailing market rates, or as a result of mark to market accounting.
Our fixed rate debt consists of amounts outstanding under our senior subordinated notes and mortgage facilities. We estimate the fair value of our senior unsecured notes using quoted prices for the identical liability (Level 2), and we estimate the fair value of our mortgage facilities using a present value technique based on our current market interest rates for similar types of financial instruments (Level 2).
Income Taxes
Income Taxes
Tax regulations may require items to be included in our tax return at different times than when those items are reflected in our financial statements. Some of the differences are permanent, such as expenses that are not deductible on our tax return, and some are temporary differences, such as the timing of depreciation expense. Temporary differences create deferred tax assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets generally represent items that will be used as a tax deduction or credit in our tax return in future years which we have already recorded in our financial statements. Deferred tax liabilities generally represent deductions taken on our tax return that have not yet been recognized as an expense in our financial statements. We establish valuation allowances for our deferred tax assets if the amount of expected future taxable income is not more likely than not to allow for the use of the deduction or credit.

Reference Rate Reform
In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, "Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting." This ASU provides optional guidance for a limited time to ease the potential burden in accounting for reference rate reform. The new guidance provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying U.S. GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. The amendments apply only to contracts and hedging relationships that reference the London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") or another reference rate expected to be discontinued due to reference rate reform. Additionally, entities can elect to continue applying hedge accounting for hedging relationships affected by reference rate reform if certain conditions are met. In January 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-01, "Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Scope." This ASU refines the scope of ASC 848 and clarifies some of its guidance as part of the Board's monitoring of global reference rate reform activities. The ASU permits entities to elect certain optional expedients and exceptions when accounting for derivative contracts and certain hedging relationships affected by changes in the interest rates used for discounting cash flows, for computing variation margin settlements, and for calculating price alignment interest in connection with reference rate reform activities. In December 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-06, "Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Deferral of the Sunset Date of Topic 848." This ASU defers the sunset date of Topic 848 from December 31, 2022, to December 31, 2024, after which entities will no longer be permitted to apply the relief in Topic 848. These new standards were effective upon issuance and generally can be applied to applicable contract modifications. While some of our floorplan arrangements and certain credit agreements had historically used LIBOR as a benchmark for calculating the applicable interest rate, all of our agreements previously utilizing LIBOR have transitioned to an alternative benchmark rate on or before July 1, 2023. These changes have not had a significant impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations, and cash flows.
Segment Reporting
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, "Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures." This ASU expands public entities’ segment disclosures by requiring disclosure of significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker and included within each reported
measure of segment profit or loss and also requires that public entities provide all annual disclosures about a reportable segment’s profit or loss and assets in interim periods. This ASU is effective for financial statements issued for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments should be applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting this ASU on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures.
Income Taxes
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, "Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures." This ASU expands public entities’ annual income tax disclosures by requiring disclosure of specific categories in the rate reconciliation and disclosure of additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold. This ASU is effective for financial statements issued for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The amendments should be applied on a prospective basis with retrospective application permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting this ASU on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures.
