Reports Q1 revenue $3.4B, consensus $3.45B. David Smith, Chairman and CEO of Sonic Automotive, stated, “We are proud of our team’s performance in the first quarter, with our diversified business model and commitment to returning capital to stockholders driving year-over-year growth in adjusted earnings per share* despite the continued normalization of new vehicle margins in our franchised dealerships segment. During the quarter, our EchoPark Segment results exceeded our previously communicated target for breakeven adjusted EBITDA, and we are excited to report all-time record quarterly EchoPark Segment adjusted EBITDA* for the first quarter. We remain confident that we have the right strategy, the right people, and the right culture to continue to grow our diversified business and create long-term value for our stakeholders.”
