Consolidated fourth-quarter revenue totaled $3.9 billion, down 1% year-over-year, with adjusted EPS of $1.52 compared to $1.50 in the prior year. For the full year, adjusted EPS reached $6.60, marking an 18% increase, and the company posted all-time annual revenue and gross profit records of $15.2 billion (+7%) and $2.4 billion (+9%), respectively.

The Powersports segment achieved record fourth-quarter revenue of $36 million (up 19%) and gross profit of $9 million (up 25%), reflecting strong demand across all markets. Sonic Automotive also ended the quarter with $702 million in available liquidity, underpinning capacity for strategic capital deployment in 2026.

Same-store new vehicle retail volume declined 11% year-over-year, contributing to the slight revenue dip, while EchoPark unit sales fell 6%. The company anticipates a 10% increase in floor-plan interest expense due to higher store count and inflationary costs, and warns that tariffs could pressure new-vehicle margins and consumer demand.

EchoPark positions itself as a low-cost pre-owned retailer with pricing $3,000–$6,000 below competitors, aiming to expand coverage to 90% of U.S. markets and sell over one million vehicles annually. Management plans to resume disciplined store openings late in 2026, increase advertising spend by $10–$20 million, boost technician count (up 400 since March 2024) to drive fixed-operations gross profit toward a $1.2 billion annual run rate, and maintain a leverage ratio below 3.5 for opportunistic acquisitions, share repurchases, and dividends.
