Commentary

David Smith, Chief Executive Officer of Sonic Automotive, commented, “Building on our record performance in 2021, Sonic generated record first quarter revenues and earnings per share, including 89.4% year-over-year EPS growth. These exceptional results were driven by persistent consumer demand, our enhanced digital sales and marketing initiatives as well as the tremendous efforts of our teammates. Despite inventory constraints and inflation due to ongoing supply chain issues, we continue to see solid consumer demand for vehicle sales and parts and services throughout our business. With these favorable trends and our continued focus on executing our long-term strategic growth plan for Sonic and EchoPark, we remain confident in reaching our stated goal of $28 billion in total revenues by 2025.”

Jeff Dyke, President of Sonic Automotive, stated, “In 2022, we have continued the nationwide expansion of the EchoPark Automotive brand, opening locations in three new markets and rolling out the new EchoPark.com to 80% of our EchoPark web traffic nationwide. Early results from our enhanced digital retail platform continue to exceed our expectations, driving higher conversion rates, incremental out-of-market sales volume, and high F&I product attachment rates. Our focus on the guest experience continues to pay dividends, with EchoPark recently achieving the highest guest experience scores in the pre-owned competitive segment. With the continuing evolution of our digital retail offerings and our exceptional guest experience, we believe EchoPark’s omnichannel strategy is well-positioned to grow market share in the highly fragmented used vehicle market. We remain focused on achieving our goal of 90% U.S. population coverage by 2025, delivering 575,000 vehicles and generating $14 billion in annual EchoPark revenues by that time.”

Heath Byrd, Chief Financial Officer of Sonic Automotive, added, “Our consistently strong sales performance, expense management, cash flow generation and balanced capital allocation strategy have all contributed to our solid financial position, allowing Sonic to raise its quarterly cash dividend by 108% in the first quarter. These attributes have also enabled the Company to repurchase approximately 1.7 million shares of its Class A Common Stock for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $76.1 million since the end of 2021. These actions all demonstrate the strength and flexibility of our business model, our positive operating outlook, and our dedication to returning capital to our stockholders.”
