($2.13 earnings per diluted share, up 11% year-over-year)
- Reported net income includes the pre-tax effects of $1.8
million in excess compensation expense paid to our teammates
related to the CDK outage and a $1.5 million charge related to
storm damage, offset partially by a $2.3 million gain related to
sale of real estate at previously closed EchoPark Segment stores,
net of a $0.2 million income tax benefit on the above net
charges

benefit associated with an out of period adjustment correcting an
error recorded in connection with the impairment of franchise

- Approximately $1.8 million ($0.04 in diluted earnings per
share) of the pre-tax CDK impact during the third quarter was

Commentary
David Smith, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Sonic
Automotive, stated, “I'm pleased to report that we continued to
build momentum in our EchoPark Segment in the third quarter,
generating all-time record quarterly gross profit, segment income,
and adjusted EBITDA* as a result of the dedicated efforts of our
team and the improving conditions in the used vehicle retail
environment. Overall, the Sonic Automotive team continued to
execute at a high level, despite operational disruptions throughout
July related to the functionality of certain CDK customer lead
applications, inventory management applications and related
third-party application integrations with CDK, which negatively
impacted our Franchised Dealerships Segment results in the third
quarter. With this disruption behind us, we remain confident that
our team, our brand portfolio, and our long-term strategy will
continue to benefit our diversified business and generate long-term
value for our stakeholders.”
Jeff Dyke, President of Sonic Automotive, commented, “I'm very
proud of our team's performance in the third quarter, which not
only drove record segment income in our EchoPark Segment, but also
showcased our franchised dealership team's resilience in managing
through operational disruptions from the CDK outage, manufacturer
stop-sale orders on certain makes and models, and continued
normalization of new vehicle margins. Additionally, the successful
execution of another Sturgis rally by our Powersports team
underscores our commitment to maintaining diverse revenue streams.
Our entire company remains dedicated to delivering an outstanding
guest experience and executing our long-term strategic vision. We
believe that by fostering a culture of excellence and innovation,
we will continue to enhance guest satisfaction and operational
efficiency as we navigate the evolving automotive retail
landscape.”
Heath Byrd, Chief Financial Officer of Sonic Automotive, added,
“Our diversified cash flow streams continued to benefit our overall
financial position in the third quarter, despite operational
disruption from the CDK outage. As of September 30, 2024, we had
approximately $418 million in cash and floor plan deposits on hand,
and approximately $834 million of total liquidity, before
considering unencumbered real estate. We continue to maintain a
conservative balance sheet approach, with the ability to deploy
capital strategically as market conditions evolve.”
