NOTE 1. INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Basis of Presentation
These condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contain unaudited information as of June 30, 2024, and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023. The unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations for reporting on Form 10-Q. Accordingly, certain disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for annual financial statements are not included herein. In management’s opinion, these unaudited financial statements reflect all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the information when read in conjunction with our 2023 audited Consolidated Financial Statements and the related notes thereto. The financial information as of December 31, 2023, is derived from our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 23, 2024. The results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.
Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications of amounts previously reported have been made to the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements to maintain consistency and comparability between periods presented. Within our financing operations income, we disaggregated our “lease income” out of our previously reported “interest, fee, and lease income” to be its own separately presented line item.

NOTE 4. FINANCE RECEIVABLES
Interest income on finance receivables is recognized based on the contractual terms of each loan and is accrued until repayment, reaching non-accrual status, charge-off, or repossession. Direct costs associated with loan originations are capitalized and expensed as an offset to interest income when recognized on the loans.
The balances of finance receivables are made up of loans and leases secured by the related vehicles. More than 99% of the portfolio is aged less than 60 days past due with less than 1% on non-accrual status.

NOTE 6. INVESTMENTS
Marketable Securities
Beginning in January 2024, our captive insurance subsidiary began investing cash in excess of current needs in marketable securities. The marketable securities are recorded within other current assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets and consist of debt securities accounted for as available-for-sale (AFS) and equity securities measured at fair value. Changes in the fair value of equity securities are recognized as a component of other income, net in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and unrealized gains (losses) on AFS debt securities are recorded as a component of other comprehensive income until the security is sold. See Note 12 – Fair Value Measurements.
As of June 30, 2024, equity securities recorded within other current assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets were $2.1 million. Net unrealized gains recognized during the three and six-months ended June 30, 2024 on equity securities held at the reporting date were $0.0 million and $0.2 million, respectively.
Marketable debt securities accounted for as AFS were as follows:

| As of June 30, 2024
|  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | Fair Value of Securities with Contractual Maturities
(in millions) | Amortized Cost |  | Gross Unrealized Gains |  | Gross Unrealized Losses |  | Fair Value |  | Within 1 Year |  |  |  |  |  | After 1 Year through 5 Years |  | After 5 Years

There were no sales of AFS securities during the three and six-months ended June 30, 2024. All unrealized losses on AFS securities are attributable to the current year. These unrealized losses were primarily caused by interest rate increases and no allowances for credit losses have been recorded on these assets in the current period.

Equity Method Investments
Our investment in Pinewood Technologies Group PLC (PINE.L) consists of 25.5% common stock voting interests accounted for as an equity method investment. The investment is measured at fair value based on quoted market prices, and all fair market value changes in the investment are recorded as unrealized gains as a component of other income, net in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The fair value of our investment was $100.0 million as of June 30, 2024. We reported an unrealized gain on investment of $29.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. See Note 12 – Fair Value Measurements.
NOTE 7. NET INVESTMENT IN OPERATING LEASES
Net investment in operating leases consists primarily of lease contracts for vehicles with individuals and business entities. Assets subject to operating leases are depreciated using the straight-line method over the term of the lease to reduce the asset to its estimated residual value. Estimated residual values are based on assumptions for used vehicle prices at lease termination and the number of vehicles that are expected to be returned.
Net investment in operating leases was as follows:

(in millions) | June 30, 2024 |  | December 31, 2023
Vehicles, at cost 1 | $ | 308.6 |  |  | $ | 102.7 |
Accumulated depreciation 1 | (20.5) |  |  | (11.2) |
Net investment in operating leases | $ | 288.1 |  |  | $ | 91.5 |

1 Vehicles, at cost and accumulated depreciation are recorded in other non-current assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
NOTE 8. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Contract Liabilities
We are the obligor on our lifetime oil and at home valet contracts. Revenue is allocated to these performance obligations and is recognized over time as services are provided to the customer. The amount of revenue recognized is calculated, net of cancellations, using an input method, which most closely depicts performance of the contracts. Our contract liability balances were $394.4 million and $317.0 million as of June 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023, respectively; and we recognized $18.2 million and $36.5 million of revenue in the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 related to our contract liability balance at December 31, 2023. Our contract liability balance is included in accrued liabilities and deferred revenue.
Leases
We lease certain dealerships, office space, land and equipment. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet. We recognize lease expense for these leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term. We have elected not to bifurcate lease and non-lease components related to leases of real property.
Most leases include one or more options to renew, with renewal terms that can extend the lease term from one to 56 years or more. The exercise of lease renewal options is at our sole discretion. Certain leases also include options to purchase the leased property. The depreciable life of assets and leasehold improvements are limited by the expected lease term, unless there is a transfer of title or purchase option reasonably certain of exercise.
Certain of our lease agreements include rental payments based on a percentage of retail sales over contractual levels and others include rental payments adjusted periodically for inflation. Our lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants.
Our finance lease liabilities are included in long-term debt, with the current portion included in current maturities of long-term debt. The related assets are included in property, plant and equipment, net of accumulated amortization.
We rent or sublease certain real estate to third parties.

Litigation
We are party to numerous legal proceedings arising in the normal course of our business. Although we do not anticipate that the resolution of legal proceedings arising in the normal course of business will have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition, or cash flows, we cannot predict this with certainty.

NOTE 10. RETIREMENT PLANS AND POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS
Company-Sponsored Defined Benefit Pension Plan
In January 2024, we acquired Pendragon PLC’s Fleet Management and UK Motor Divisions in the United Kingdom, which included the assumption of its company-sponsored defined benefit plan applicable to a portion of the salaried present and past employees, closed to future accrual. At the time of acquisition, these balances increased our defined benefit obligations by $465.7 million and increased our fair value of plan assets by $466.4 million.

|  | NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |  | 13

Net Periodic (Benefit) Cost
Interest cost represents the increase in the projected benefit obligation, which is a discounted amount, due to the passage of time. The expected return on plan assets reflects the computed amount of current-year earnings from the investment of plan assets using an estimated long-term rate of return.

($ in millions) | Three Months Ended June 30, 2024 |  | Six Months Ended June 30, 2024 |  |
Interest cost | $ | 5.6 |  |  | $ | 13.2 |  |  |
Expected return on plan assets | (6.2) |  |  | (14.4) |  |  |
Net periodic benefit | $ | (0.6) |  |  | $ | (1.2) |  |  |

During the six months ended June 30, 2024, funding of pension plans was $13.8 million. For the remainder of 2024, we estimate approximately $2.2 million of cash contributions.
NOTE 11. EQUITY
Repurchases of Common Stock
Repurchases of our common stock occurred under a repurchase authorization granted by our Board of Directors and related to shares withheld as part of the vesting of restricted stock units (RSUs).
On June 4, 2024, our Board of Directors approved an additional $350 million repurchase authorization of our common stock. This new authorization is in addition to the amount previously authorized by the Board for repurchase. Share repurchases under our authorization were as follows:

| Repurchases Occurring in 2024 |  | Cumulative Repurchases as of June 30, 2024
| Shares |  | Average Price 1 |  | Shares |  | Average Price
Share Repurchase Authorization | 788,569 |  |  | $ | 256.25 |  |  | 7,836,079 |  |  | $ | 183.14 |

1 Price excludes excise taxes imposed under the Inflation Reduction Act of $1.5 million for the three and six months ending June 30, 2024.
As of June 30, 2024, we had $614.9 million available for repurchases pursuant to our share repurchase authorization from our Board of Directors in 2024 and prior years.
In addition, during 2024, we repurchased 45,817 shares at an average price of $328.72 per share, for a total of $15.1 million, related to tax withholding associated with the vesting of RSUs. The repurchase of shares related to tax withholding associated with stock awards does not reduce the number of shares available for repurchase as approved by our Board of Directors.
NOTE 12. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
Factors used in determining the fair value of our financial assets and liabilities are summarized into three broad categories:
•Level 1 - quoted prices in active markets for identical securities;
•Level 2 - other significant observable inputs, including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment spreads, credit risk; and
•Level 3 - significant unobservable inputs, including our own assumptions in determining fair value.
We determined the carrying value of cash equivalents, accounts receivable, trade payables, accrued liabilities, finance receivables, and short-term borrowings approximate their fair values because of the nature of their terms and current market rates of these instruments. We believe the carrying value of our variable rate debt approximates fair value.
We have investments consisting of equity securities, available for sale debt securities, and equity method investments. We calculated the estimated fair value of the equity securities, equity method investments, and U.S. Treasury debt securities using quoted market prices (Level 1). The fair value of corporate and municipal debt

|  | NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |  | 14

securities are measured using observable Level 2 market expectations at each measurement date. See Note 6 – Investments.
We have fixed rate debt primarily consisting of amounts outstanding under our senior notes, non-recourse notes payable, and real estate mortgages. We calculated the estimated fair value of the senior notes using quoted prices for the identical liability (Level 1). The fair value of non-recourse notes payable are measured using observable Level 2 market expectations at each measurement date. The calculated estimated fair values of the fixed rate real estate mortgages and finance lease liabilities use a discounted cash flow methodology with estimated current interest rates based on a similar risk profile and duration (Level 2). The fixed cash flows are discounted and summed to compute the fair value of the debt.
We have derivative instruments consisting of an offsetting set of interest rate caps. The fair value of derivative assets and liabilities are measured using observable Level 2 market expectations at each measurement date and is recorded as other current assets, current liabilities and other long-term liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Nonfinancial assets such as goodwill, franchise value, or other long-lived assets are measured and recorded at fair value during a business combination or when there is an indicator of impairment. We evaluate our goodwill and franchise value using a qualitative assessment process. If the qualitative factors determine that it is more likely than not that the carrying value exceeds the fair value, we would further evaluate for potential impairment using a quantitative assessment. The quantitative assessment estimates fair values using unobservable (Level 3) inputs by discounting expected future cash flows of the store for franchise value, or reporting unit for goodwill. The forecasted cash flows contain inherent uncertainties, including significant estimates and assumptions related to growth rates, margins, working capital requirements, and cost of capital, for which we utilize certain market participant-based assumptions we believe to be reasonable. We estimate the value of other long-lived assets that are recorded at fair value on a non-recurring basis on a market valuation approach. We use prices and other relevant information generated primarily by recent market transactions involving similar or comparable assets, as well as our historical experience in divestitures, acquisitions and real estate transactions. Additionally, we may use a cost valuation approach to value long-lived assets when a market valuation approach is unavailable. Under this approach, we determine the cost to replace the service capacity of an asset, adjusted for physical and economic obsolescence. When available, we use valuation inputs from independent valuation experts, such as real estate appraisers and brokers, to corroborate our estimates of fair value. Real estate appraisers’ and brokers’ valuations are typically developed using one or more valuation techniques including market, income and replacement cost approaches. Because these valuations contain unobservable inputs, we classified the measurement of fair value of long-lived assets as Level 3.
There were no changes to our valuation techniques during the six-month period ended June 30, 2024.

The purchase price allocations for the acquisitions from the third quarter of 2023 through the second quarter of 2024 are preliminary, and we have not obtained and evaluated all of the detailed information necessary to finalize the opening balance sheet amounts in all respects. We recorded the purchase price allocations based upon information that is currently available and recorded unallocated items as a component of other non-current assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
We expect all of the goodwill related to North American acquisitions completed in 2023 and 2024 to be deductible for US federal income tax purposes. Due to local country laws, we do not expect goodwill related to UK acquisitions completed in 2023 and 2024 to be deductible for UK income tax purposes.
In the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2024, we recorded $1.8 million and $9.5 million in acquisition-related expenses as a component of selling, general and administrative expense. Comparatively, we recorded $4.5 million and $5.7 million and of acquisition-related expenses in the same periods of 2023.
The following unaudited pro forma summary presents consolidated information as if all acquisitions in the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 had occurred on January 1, 2023:

| Three Months Ended June 30, |  | Six Months Ended June 30,
(in millions, except per share amounts) | 2024 |  | 2023 |  | 2024 |  | 2023
Revenue | $ | 9,276.3 |  |  | $ | 9,496.4 |  |  | $ | 18,361.9 |  |  | $ | 17,753.0 |
Net income attributable to Lithia Motors, Inc. | 218.4 |  |  | 324.6 |  |  | 391.1 |  |  | 572.2 |

Diluted earnings per share attributable to Lithia Motors, Inc. | 8.02 |  |  | 11.77 |  |  | 14.27 |  |  | 20.76 |

These amounts have been calculated by applying our accounting policies and estimates. The results of the acquired stores have been adjusted to reflect the following: depreciation on a straight-line basis over the expected lives for property and equipment, accounting for inventory on a specific identification method, and recognition of interest expense for real estate financing related to stores where we purchased the facility. No nonrecurring proforma adjustments directly attributable to the acquisitions are included in the reported proforma revenues and earnings.

NOTE 14. EARNINGS PER SHARE
We calculate basic earnings per share (EPS) by dividing net income attributable to Lithia Motors, Inc. by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period, including vested RSU awards. Diluted EPS is calculated by dividing net income attributable to Lithia Motors, Inc. by the weighted average number of shares outstanding, adjusted for the dilutive effect of unvested RSU awards and employee stock purchases.
The following is a reconciliation of net income attributable to Lithia Motors, Inc. and weighted average shares used for our basic EPS and diluted EPS:

| Three Months Ended June 30, |  | Six Months Ended June 30,
(in millions, except per share amounts) | 2024 |  | 2023 |  | 2024 |  | 2023

Weighted average common shares outstanding – basic | 27.2 |  |  | 27.5 |  |  | 27.4 |  |  | 27.5 |
Effect of employee stock purchases and restricted stock units on weighted average common shares outstanding | — |  |  | 0.1 |  |  | — |  |  | 0.1 |
Weighted average common shares outstanding – diluted | 27.2 |  |  | 27.6 |  |  | 27.4 |  |  | 27.6 |

Diluted earnings per share attributable to Lithia Motors, Inc. | $ | 7.87 |  |  | $ | 10.78 |  |  | $ | 13.75 |  |  | $ | 19.08 |

The effect of antidilutive securities on common stock was evaluated for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 and was determined to be immaterial.
NOTE 15. SEGMENTS
We operate in two reportable segments: Vehicle Operations and Financing Operations. Our Vehicle Operations consists of all aspects of our auto merchandising and service operations, excluding financing provided by our Financing Operations. Our Financing Operations segment provides financing to customers buying and leasing retail vehicles from our Vehicle Operations, as well as leasing vehicles from our fleet management services provider.
All other remaining unallocated corporate overhead expenses and internal charges are reported under “Corporate and Other.” Asset information by segment is not utilized for purposes of assessing performance or allocating resources and, as a result, such information has not been presented.

Overview
Lithia and Driveway (LAD) is one of the largest global automotive retailers providing an array of products and services throughout the vehicle ownership lifecycle. Simple, convenient and transparent experiences are offered through our comprehensive network of physical locations, e-commerce platforms, captive finance solutions, fleet management offerings, and other synergistic adjacencies. We have delivered consistent profitable growth in a massive and unconsolidated industry. Our highly diversified and competitively differentiated design provides us the flexibility and scale to pursue our vision to modernize personal transportation solutions wherever, whenever and however consumers desire. As of June 30, 2024, we operated 470 locations representing 52 brands in the United States, the United Kingdom, and Canada.
We offer a wide array of products and services fulfilling the entire vehicle ownership lifecycle including new and used vehicles, financing and insurance products and automotive repair and maintenance. We strive for diversification in our products, services, brands and geographic locations to reduce dependence on any one

manufacturer, reduce susceptibility to changing consumer preferences, manage market risk and maintain profitability. Our diversification, along with our operating structure, provides a resilient and nimble business model.
We seek to provide customers with a seamless, blended online and physical retail experience, broad selection and access to specialized expertise and knowledge. Our comprehensive network enables us to provide convenient touch points for customers and provides services throughout the vehicle life cycle. We seek to increase market share and optimize profitability by focusing on the consumer experience and applying proprietary performance measurement systems fueled by data science. Our Driveway and GreenCars brands complement our in-store experiences in the United States and provide convenient, simple and transparent platforms that serve as our e-commerce home solutions and allow us to deliver differentiated, proprietary digital experiences. Enhancing our business, our captive auto financing division allows us to provide financing solutions for customers and diversify our business model with adjacent products.
Our long-term strategy to create value for our customers, employees and shareholders includes the following elements:
Driving operational excellence, innovation and diversification
LAD builds magnetic brand loyalty in our 470 stores and with Driveway, our e-commerce home delivery experience, and GreenCars, our electric vehicle learning resource and marketplace. Operational excellence is achieved by focusing the business on convenient and transparent consumer experiences supported by proprietary data science to improve market share, consumer loyalty, and profitability. By promoting an entrepreneurial model with our in-store experiences, we build strong businesses responsive to each of our local markets. Utilizing performance-based action plans, we develop high-performing teams and foster manufacturer relationships.
In response to evolving consumer preferences, we invest in modernization that supports and expands our core business. These digital strategies combine our experienced, knowledgeable workforce with our owned inventory and physical network of stores, enabling us to be agile and adapt to consumer preferences and market specific conditions. Additionally, we systematically explore transformative adjacencies, which are identified to be synergistic and complementary to our existing business, such as our captive auto finance division and our fleet funding and management division.
Our investments in modernization are well under way and are taking hold with our teams as they provide digital shopping experiences including finance, contactless test drives and home delivery or curbside pickup for vehicle purchases. Our people and these solutions power our national brands, overlaying our physical footprint in a way that we believe attracts a larger population of digital consumers seeking transparent, empowered, flexible and simple buying and servicing experiences.
Our performance-based culture is geared toward an incentive-based compensation structure for a majority of our personnel. We develop pay plans that are measured based upon various factors such as customer satisfaction, profitability and individual performance metrics. These plans serve to reward team members for creating customer loyalty, achieving store potential, developing high-performing talent, meeting and exceeding manufacturer requirements and living our core values.
We have centralized many administrative functions to drive efficiencies and streamline store-level operations. The reduction of administrative functions at our stores allows our local managers to focus on customer-facing opportunities to increase revenues and gross profit. Our operations are supported by regional and corporate management, as well as dedicated training and personnel development programs which allow us to share best practices across our network and develop management talent.
Growth through acquisition and network optimization
Our acquisition growth strategy has been successful both financially and culturally. Our disciplined approach focuses on acquiring new vehicle franchises, which operate in markets ranging from mid-sized regional markets to metropolitan markets. Acquisition of these businesses increases our proximity to consumers throughout North America and the United Kingdom. While we target annual after tax return of more than 15% for our acquisitions, we have averaged over a 25% return by the third year of ownership due to a disciplined approach focusing on accretive, cash flow positive targets at reasonable valuations. In addition to being financially accretive, acquisitions aim to drive network growth that improves our ability to serve customers through vast selection, greater density and access to customers and ability to leverage national branding and advertising.

|  | MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS |  | 7

As we focus on expanding our physical network of stores, one of the criteria we evaluate is a valuation multiple between 3x to 6x of investment in intangibles to estimated annualized adjusted EBITDA, with various factors including location, ability to expand our network and talent considered in determining value. We also target an investment in intangibles as a percentage of annualized revenues in the range of 15% to 30%.
We regularly optimize and balance our network through strategic divestitures to ensure continued high performance. We believe our disciplined approach provides us with attractive acquisition opportunities and expanded coast-to-coast coverage.
Thoughtful capital allocation
We manage our liquidity and available cash to support our long-term plan focused on growth through acquisitions and investments in our existing business, technology and adjacencies that expand and diversify our business model. In the current market of elevated acquisition pricing, we have adjusted our free cash flow deployment strategy. Under current conditions, including recent trends in our stock price, we may consider repurchases as a more attractive use of funds than acquisitions. Our current free cash flow deployment strategy has shifted to an allocation of 50 to 60% investment in acquisitions, 25% investment in capital expenditures, innovation, and diversification and 15 to 25% in shareholder return in the form of dividends and share repurchases. During the first six months of 2024, we utilized $209.7 million for capital expenditures investing in our existing business and paid $28.2 million in dividends and $217.2 million in share repurchases. As of June 30, 2024, we had available liquidity of approximately $1.3 billion, which was comprised of $516.4 million in unrestricted cash, $51.4 million in marketable securities, and $0.8 billion availability on our credit facilities. In addition, our unfinanced real estate could provide additional liquidity of approximately $0.3 billion.

Financial Performance
We experienced growth of revenue in 2024 compared to 2023, primarily driven by increases in volume related to acquisitions. Gross profit on new and used vehicle retail sales declined compared to 2023 due to continued normalization of margins. Net income decline was primarily driven by this margin normalization, increased interest expense, and increased SG&A as a percentage of gross profit.

Same Store Operating Data
We believe that same store comparisons are an important indicator of our financial performance. Same store measures demonstrate our ability to grow revenues in our existing locations. As a result, same store measures have been integrated into the discussion below.
Same store measures reflect results for stores that were operating in each comparison period and only include the months when operations occurred in both periods. For example, a store acquired in May 2023 would be included in same store operating data beginning in June 2024, after its first complete comparable month of operation. The second quarter operating results for the same store comparisons would include results for that store in only the month of June for both comparable periods.

New Retail Vehicles
We believe that our new vehicle retail sales create incremental profit opportunities through certain manufacturer incentive programs, arranging of third-party financing, vehicle service and insurance contracts, future resale of used vehicles acquired through trade-in, and parts and service work. Our leaders in each market continue to adapt to changing conditions, respond to customer needs and manage inventory availability and selection.

Q2 2024 vs. Q2 2023
New vehicles revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2024 increased 9.7% compared to the same period of 2023, driven by acquisition activity. Same store new vehicle revenue decreased 3.7% primarily due to a decrease in unit volume of 4.7%, partially offset by an increase in average selling prices of 1.1%. Same store new vehicle unit volumes in our North American locations were negatively impacted by the CDK Global software platform shutting down for a two-week period due to a cyber incident in the latter half of June. This shutdown interfered with the sale of retail vehicles.
Same store new vehicle gross profit per unit decreased 27.1%, driven by a decrease in new vehicle gross profit margins of 260 bps.

Total same store new vehicle retail gross profit per unit, which includes the finance and insurance revenue generated from the sales of new retail vehicles, decreased $1,436 to $5,665.
Used Retail Vehicles
Used vehicle retail sales are a strategic focus for organic growth. We offer three categories of used vehicles: manufacturer certified pre-owned (CPO) vehicles; core vehicles, or late-model vehicles with lower mileage; and value autos, or vehicles with over 80,000 miles. We continue to focus on procuring vehicles across the full spectrum of the addressable used vehicle market to provide customers with a wide selection meeting all levels of affordability, driving increased used vehicle unit volumes. Our used vehicle operations provide an opportunity to generate sales to customers unable or unwilling to purchase a new vehicle, sell brands other than the store’s new vehicle franchise(s) and increase sales from finance and insurance and parts and service.
Q2 2024 vs. Q2 2023
Used vehicle revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2024 increased 21.6% compared to the same period of 2023 driven by acquisition activity. On a same store basis, used vehicle revenue decreased 6.8% due to a decrease in unit volume of 1.2% and a decrease in average selling prices of 5.6%. Same store used vehicle unit volumes in our North American locations were negatively impacted by the CDK Global cyber incident noted above.

YTD 2024 vs. YTD 2023
Used vehicle retail revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2024 increased 23.6% compared to the same period of 2023 driven by acquisition activity. On a same store basis, used vehicle retail sales decreased 5.9% due to a decrease in average selling prices of 4.6% and a decrease in unit volume of 1.4%. Volume decreases were driven by decreasing volumes associated with certified vehicles. Total same store used vehicle retail gross profit per unit, which includes the finance and insurance revenue generated from the sales of used retail vehicles, decreased $350 to $3,940.
Finance and Insurance
We believe that arranging vehicle financing is an important part of our ability to sell vehicles, and we attempt to arrange financing for every vehicle we sell. We also offer related products such as extended warranties, insurance contracts and vehicle and theft protection which drive continued engagement with the consumer throughout the ownership lifecycle.
Q2 2024 vs. Q2 2023
Total finance and insurance income increased 6.8% in the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the same period of 2023, driven by acquisition activity. Same store finance and insurance revenues decreased 5.7%,

|  | MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS |  | 12

driven by a decline in finance reserve revenues as we increase our penetration rates associated with Financing Operations and the growth of our captive auto loan and lease portfolio businesses. On a same store basis, our finance and insurance revenue per retail unit decreased $58 to $2,001.
YTD 2024 vs. YTD 2023
Total finance and insurance income increased 6.9% in the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the same period of 2023, driven by acquisition activity.

On a same store basis, our finance and insurance revenue per retail unit decreased $83 to $2,039.
Service, body and parts
We provide automotive repair and maintenance services for customers for the new vehicle brands sold by our stores, as well as service and repairs for most other makes and models. These after sales services are an integral part of our customer retention and the largest contributor to our overall profitability. Earnings from after sales continue to prove to be more resilient during economic downturns, when owners tend to repair their existing vehicles rather than buy new vehicles.
Q2 2024 vs. Q2 2023
Our service, body, and parts revenue increased 18.2% in the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the same period of 2023, driven by acquisitions, as well as an increase in customer pay revenues. We believe the increased number of units in operation will continue to benefit our service, body and parts revenue in the coming years as more late-model vehicles age, necessitating repairs and maintenance.
We focus on retaining customers by offering competitively-priced routine maintenance and through our marketing efforts. The largest contribution to our service, body and parts revenue was same store customer pay revenue of $443.2 million.
Same store service, body and parts gross profit increased 0.2%. This increase was primarily due to increased volumes of warranty transactions. Overall same store service, body, and parts gross margins increased 90 bps, primarily as a result of increased warranty gross margin. Same store customer pay gross margin decreased 200 bps.
YTD 2024 vs. YTD 2023
Our service, body, and parts revenue increased 20.9% in the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the same period of 2023, driven by acquisitions, as well as an increase in same store warranty and customer pay revenues.

Overall same store service, body, and parts gross margins increased 130 bps, primarily as a result of increased warranty gross margin. Same store customer pay gross margin decreased 90 bps.
Financing Operations
In the United States, Financing Operations is a captive lender, originating loans only from our stores and Driveway. In Canada, Financing Operations originates loans and leases from both our Canadian stores and third-party dealerships. In the United Kingdom, Financing Operations is related to our fleet funding and management division. Financing Operations provides an opportunity to capture additional profits, cash flows, and sales while managing our reliance on third-party finance sources.
Financing Operations income reflects the interest and fee income generated by the portfolio of auto loan and finance lease receivables, plus the lease income generated by our net investment in operating leases, less the interest expense associated with the debt utilized to fund the lending, including internal capital, a provision for estimated loan and lease losses, depreciation on vehicles leased via operating leases, and directly-related expenses.

Q2 2024 vs. Q2 2023
Financing operations recorded income in the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to a loss in the same period of 2023 primarily due to the increased interest income resulting from the growth of the portfolio and increased customer rates, decreased cost of funds, along with a decrease in provision expense due to a release in the allowance for credit losses driven by improving portfolio performance and the effect of tightening of underwriting standards in recent periods.
Loan originations increased as we continue to grow and mature our portfolio. The weighted average contract rate of loans originated in the three months ended June 30, 2024 increased to 9.9%, compared with 9.5% in the same

|  | MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS |  | 14

period of 2023, primarily due to increasing rates charged to borrowers, which had a negative impact on our penetration rate. The decrease in annualized net charge-offs past due accounts as a percentage of ending managed receivables compared to the prior year reflects the increased credit quality of our portfolio, along with continued operational improvements.
YTD 2024 vs. YTD 2023
Financing operations recorded income in the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to a loss in the same period of 2023 primarily due to increased contract rates to borrowers, resulting in an expansion of total interest margin to 3.8%, a decrease in provision expense, and the addition of the UK Financing Operations business.
The weighted average contract rate on loans originated in the six months ended June 30, 2024 increased to 10.0%, compared with 9.2% in the same period of 2023. The decrease in provision expense compared to the prior year reflected a release of the allowances for credit losses driven by the increased credit quality of the portfolio and tightening of underwriting standards. The decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of receivables compared to the prior year reflected improved operational performance and economies of scale.

Floor Plan Interest Expense and Floor Plan Assistance
Floor plan assistance is provided by manufacturers to support store financing of new vehicle inventory and is recorded as a component of new vehicle gross profit when the specific vehicle is sold. However, because manufacturers provide this assistance to offset inventory carrying costs, we believe a comparison of floor plan interest expense to floor plan assistance is a useful measure of the efficiency of our new vehicle sales relative to stocking levels.
Shown below are the details for carrying costs for new vehicles net of floor plan assistance earned:

Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation and amortization is comprised of depreciation expense related to buildings, significant remodels or improvements, furniture, tools, equipment, signage, and amortization of certain intangible assets, including customer lists.

Acquisition activity contributed to the increase in depreciation and amortization in 2024 compared to 2023. We acquired $0.7 billion of depreciable property as part of our acquisition activity over the trailing twelve months ended June 30, 2024. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, we invested $209.7 million in capital expenditures. These investments increased the amount of depreciation expense in the six months ended June 30, 2024. See the discussion under “Liquidity and Capital Resources” for additional information.

Income Tax Provision
Our effective income tax rate was as follows:

|  |  | Six Months Ended June 30,
|  |  |  |  | 2024 |  | 2023
Effective income tax rate |  |  |  |  | 24.2 | % |  | 26.4 | %
Effective income tax rate excluding non-core items |  |  |  |  | 25.3 | % |  | 26.3 | %

Our effective income tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to last year was positively affected by a reduction in the current and deferred state tax rate due to the impact of global network expansion on worldwide combined reporting states, filing elections, and statutory rate changes. Our rate was also positively affected by an increase in tax benefit from stock awards vesting in the current period and an increase in general business credits. Excluding non-core charges, we estimate our annual effective income tax rate to be 26.0%.
Non-GAAP Reconciliations
Non-GAAP measures do not have definitions under GAAP and may be defined differently by and not comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. As a result, we review any non-GAAP financial measures in connection with a review of the most directly comparable measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. We caution you not to place undue reliance on such non-GAAP measures, but also to consider them with the most directly comparable GAAP measures. We believe each of the non-GAAP financial measures below improves the transparency of our disclosures, provides a meaningful presentation of our results from the core business operations because they exclude items not related to our ongoing core business operations and other non-cash items, and improves the period-to-period comparability of our results from the core business operations. We use these measures in conjunction with GAAP financial measures to assess our business, including our compliance with covenants in our credit facility and in communications with our Board of Directors concerning financial performance. These measures should not be considered an alternative to GAAP measures.
The following tables reconcile certain reported non-GAAP measures, which we refer to as “adjusted,” to the most comparable GAAP measure from our Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
We manage our liquidity and capital resources in the context of our overall business strategy, continually forecasting and managing our cash, working capital balances and capital structure in a way that we believe will meet the short-term and long-term obligations of our business while maintaining liquidity and financial flexibility. In the current market of elevated acquisition pricing, we have adjusted our free cash flow deployment strategy. Under current conditions, including recent trends in our stock price, we may consider repurchases as a more attractive use of funds than acquisitions. Our current free cash flow deployment strategy has shifted to allocation of 50% to 60% investment in acquisitions, 25% investment in capital expenditures, Driveway and Driveway Finance Corporation and 15% to 25% in shareholder return in the form of dividends and share repurchases.
We believe we have sufficient sources of funding to meet our business requirements for the next 12 months and in the longer term. Cash flows from operations and borrowings under our credit facilities are our main sources for liquidity. In addition to the above sources of liquidity, potential sources to fund our business strategy include financing of real estate and proceeds from debt or equity offerings. We evaluate all of these options and may select one or more of them depending on overall capital needs and the availability and cost of capital, although no assurances can be provided that these capital sources will be available in sufficient amounts or with terms acceptable to us.

Operating Activities
Cash provided by (used in) operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2024 increased $442.7 million compared to the same period of 2023, primarily related to an increase in floor plan notes payable and finance receivables activity, partially offset by inventory activity and a decrease in net income compared to the same period of 2023.
Borrowings from and repayments to our syndicated credit facilities related to our new vehicle inventory floor plan financing are presented as financing activities. To better understand the impact of changes in inventory, other assets, and the associated financing, we also consider our adjusted net cash provided by operating activities to include borrowings or repayments associated with our new vehicle floor plan commitment and exclude the impact of our financing receivables activity. Adjusted net cash provided by operating activities, a non-GAAP measure, is presented below:

Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities totaled $1.5 billion and $1.0 billion, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023.
Below are highlights of significant activity related to our cash flows from investing activities:

| Six Months Ended June 30, |  | Change

Capital expenditures | $ | (209.7) |  |  | $ | (97.1) |  |  | $ | (112.6) |

Proceeds from sales of stores | 6.9 |  |  | 85.7 |  |  | (78.8) |

Capital Expenditures
Below is a summary of our capital expenditure activities ($ in millions):
Many manufacturers provide assistance in the form of additional incentives or assistance if facilities meet specified standards and requirements. We expect that certain facility upgrades and remodels will generate additional

|  | MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS |  | 23

manufacturer incentive payments. Also, tax laws allowing accelerated deductions for capital expenditures reduce the overall investment needed and encourage accelerated project timelines.
We expect to use a portion of our future capital expenditures to upgrade facilities that we recently acquired. This additional capital investment is contemplated in our initial evaluation of the investment return metrics applied to each acquisition and is usually associated with manufacturer standards and requirements.
The increase in capital expenditures for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to the same period of 2023 was higher across nearly all categories, driven by higher existing operations improvements.
If we undertake a significant capital commitment in the future, we expect to pay for the commitment out of existing cash balances, construction financing and borrowings on our credit facility. Upon completion of the projects, we believe we would have the ability to secure long-term financing and general borrowings from third party lenders for 70% to 90% of the amounts expended, although no assurances can be provided that these financings will be available to us in sufficient amounts or on terms acceptable to us.
Acquisitions
We focus on acquiring stores at attractive purchase prices that meet our return thresholds and strategic objectives. We look for acquisitions that diversify our brand and geographic mix as we continue to evaluate our portfolio to minimize exposure to any one manufacturer and achieve financial returns.
We are able to subsequently floor new vehicle inventory acquired as part of an acquisition; however, the cash generated by this transaction is recorded as borrowings on floor plan notes payable, non-trade.
Adjusted net cash paid for acquisitions, as well as certain other acquisition-related information is presented below:

Cash paid for acquisitions, net of cash acquired – adjusted | $ | (1,146.8) |  |  | $ | (868.8) |

We evaluate potential capital investments primarily based on targeted rates of return on assets and return on our net equity investment.

Critical Accounting Policies and Use of Estimates
There have been no material changes in the critical accounting policies and use of estimates described in our 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 23, 2024.
Seasonality and Quarterly Fluctuations
Historically, our sales have been lower in the first quarter of each year due to consumer purchasing patterns and inclement weather in certain of our markets. As a result, financial performance is expected to be lower during the first quarter than during the second, third and fourth quarters of each fiscal year. We believe that interest rates, levels of consumer debt, consumer confidence and manufacturer sales incentives, as well as general economic conditions, also contribute to fluctuations in sales and operating results.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a material current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
We are party to numerous legal proceedings arising in the normal course of our business. Although we do not anticipate that the resolution of legal proceedings arising in the normal course of business will have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition, or cash flows, we cannot predict this with certainty.
