Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] |
Commitments and Contingencies | COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES 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 25 or more years. 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. We rent or sublease certain real estate to third parties. The table below presents the lease-related liabilities and finance lease right-of-use assets recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheets:

Charge-Backs for Various Contracts We have recorded a liability of $175.0 million as of December 31, 2024 for our estimated contractual obligations related to potential charge-backs for vehicle service contracts and other various insurance contracts that are terminated early by the customer. We estimate that the charge-backs will be paid out as follows:

Contract Liabilities We retain the obligation for lifetime lube, oil, and filter service contracts and at home valet contracts sold to our customers and assumed the liability of certain existing lifetime lube, oil, and filter contracts. These amounts are recorded as a contract liability. At the time of sale, we defer the full sale price and recognize the revenue based on the rate we expect future costs to be incurred. As of December 31, 2024, we had a contract liability balance of $410.4 million associated with these contracts and estimate the contract liability will be recognized as follows:
Year Ending December 31, | ($ in millions)
2025 | $ | 85.0 |
2026 | 68.0 |
2027 | 54.1 |
2028 | 43.2 |
2029 | 34.8 |
Thereafter | 125.3 |
Total | $ | 410.4 |
The contract liability balance is recorded as components of deferred revenue and accrued liabilities in our Consolidated Balance Sheets. Self-insurance Programs We self-insure a portion of our property and casualty insurance, vehicle open lot coverage, medical insurance, and workers’ compensation insurance. Third parties are engaged to assist in estimating the loss exposure related to the self-retained portion of the risk associated with these insurances. Additionally, we analyze our historical loss and claims experience to estimate the loss exposure associated with these programs. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, we had liabilities associated with these programs of $95.6 million and $77.1 million, respectively, recorded as a component of accrued liabilities and other long-term liabilities in our Consolidated Balance Sheets. 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.
