Commentary

David Smith, Chief Executive Officer of Sonic Automotive, stated, “Sonic achieved another quarter of record revenues and solid earnings as a result of the continued dedication of our Sonic and EchoPark teams and our strong relationships with our manufacturer and vendor partners. Despite persistent industrywide headwinds that contributed to lower new vehicle sales volume as a result of ongoing supply chain disruptions and inventory constraints, we continued to see strong new vehicle pricing and consumer demand during the second quarter. In addition, we have made significant progress on the integration of the RFJ Auto acquisition and expect to realize meaningful synergies in future periods, further demonstrating the strength of the franchised dealership model and Sonic’s capacity to reinvest in its business for long-term growth and shareholder returns.”

Jeff Dyke, President of Sonic Automotive, commented, “During the second quarter, we further expanded EchoPark’s nationwide geographic and digital network, opening three new locations and completing the rollout of our proprietary, best-in-class ecommerce platform to 100% of our nationwide traffic at EchoPark.com. Our new ecommerce platform accounted for 19% of our EchoPark retail unit sales volume in the second quarter, allowing our guests to shop their way via a modern omnichannel purchase experience or a seamless end-to-end online transaction. In addition, we expanded into new customer segments by adding older model year vehicles to our EchoPark inventory at more affordable prices, driving an increase in our non-auction sourced inventory mix to 25% of sales volume in the second quarter, up from 7% in the prior year. We continue to adapt our business in the face of ongoing challenges in the used vehicle industry, from inventory procurement to consumer affordability. With the flexibility of the EchoPark model, we remain confident in EchoPark’s long-term prospects and remain on track to reach 90% U.S. population coverage by 2025.”

Heath Byrd, Chief Financial Officer of Sonic Automotive, added, “We are extremely pleased with our team’s ability to produce consistent top-line performance despite ongoing supply chain and affordability headwinds. Additionally, our organization remains focused on maintaining high levels of profitability and cash flows, capitalizing on the enhanced operating efficiencies we realized during the course of the COVID-19 pandemic while implementing additional strategic measures based on the latest industry trends and macroeconomic outlook. We believe our strong balance sheet and balanced capital allocation position Sonic to continue to provide long-term returns for its stockholders.”

Strategic Update

In July 2021, Sonic announced a review process to evaluate potential strategic alternatives for its EchoPark business. After carefully evaluating a range of alternatives, the Company has concluded its review and the Board has determined that timing and current market conditions do not align with the Company’s value creation objectives for the business. Sonic will continue to execute on its expansion plans for EchoPark and will monitor market conditions and periodically consider potential opportunities to maximize long-term shareholder value as they arise. Further, while the Company remains confident in EchoPark’s long-term prospects, the current market environment has caused the Company to adjust EchoPark’s projected revenue growth and push back the achievement of its previously stated financial goals beyond 2025.

Dividend

Sonic’s Board of Directors approved a quarterly cash dividend of $0.25 per share payable on October 14, 2022 to all stockholders of record on September 15, 2022.
