Actual results may differ. See “Forward-Looking Statements.”

NYSE SAH Strategic Focus – Franchised Dealerships Segment (continued) 7 Fixed Operations And F&I • Increased technician headcount by 335 technicians in FY 2024, projected to generate approximately $100M in annualized fixed operations gross profit once fully productive • Fixed operations parts and labor cost inflation is generally passed along to customers, supporting stable fixed operations profit margins over time • Vehicle affordability challenges may drive consumers to choose to repair their current vehicle to extend its life rather than replace it with a newer vehicle, benefitting fixed operations revenues • F&I gross profit per unit increased nearly 50% from pre- pandemic to FY 2024, driven primarily by higher warranty contract penetration rates • We believe F&I GPU will remain structurally higher than pre- pandemic as a result of optimized F&I presentation and consumer preferences • Even in an elevated interest rate environment, finance contract penetration rates remain robust and are supported by manufacturer financing or lease incentives only available at franchised dealerships $1,846 $2,160 $2,453 $2,403 $2,374 $2,330 $2,424 77.9% 77.6% 72.9% 71.2% 72.6% 70.7% 72.6% 40.9% 44.4% 49.4% 48.9% 48.0% 47.1% 46.5% FY 2020 FY 2021 FY 2022 FY 2023 FY 2024 Q4 2023 Q4 2024 F&I Gross Profit Per Unit and Product Penetration Rates F&I GPU Finance Contract Penetration Rate Warranty Penetration Rate $595 $673 $787 $853 $909 $213 $238 49.8% 50.2% 49.5% 49.7% 50.4% 50.0% 50.8% FY 2020 FY 2021 FY 2022 FY 2023 FY 2024 Q4 2023 Q4 2024 Fixed Operations Gross Profit and Gross Margin % Fixed Operations Gross Profit (Millions) Fixed Operations Gross Margin % Note: Technician headcount, fixed operations profit margin and F&I GPU are estimates of future results. Actual results may differ. See “Forward-Looking Statements.”

NYSE SAH Strategic Focus – Franchised Dealerships Segment (continued) Hybrid vs. Electric Vehicle Trends • Industry sales volume penetration rates for combined hybrid electric vehicles (HEV) and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEV) are double the penetration rates for battery electric vehicles (BEV) and are trending upward • We believe there is an easier path to consumer adoption of alternative power trains as more manufacturers expand their HEV and PHEV model offerings, which we are seeing with model year 2025 vehicles • Hybrid new vehicle GPU was higher than internal combustion engine (ICE) new vehicle GPU in our import and domestic brands, and marginally lower in our luxury brands, driven by better consumer demand and relatively lower hybrid days’ supply vs. both ICE and BEV • BEV new vehicle GPU lags both hybrid and ICE vehicles as a result of excess inventory supply, resulting in BEV sales negatively impacting total new vehicle GPU by approximately $400 in Q4 2024 and $350 in FY 2024 – to the extent OEMs can better align BEV supply with consumer demand, this GPU headwind could decrease in FY 2025 • Initial BEV repair and maintenance trends show lower frequency but higher gross profit per repair order vs. ICE vehicles, while hybrid vehicles create opportunity to service both types of power trains 18.0% 9.0% 0% 4% 8% 12% 16% 20% Fe b- 19 M ay -1 9 Au g- 19 N ov -1 9 Fe b- 20 M ay -2 0 Au g- 20 N ov -2 0 Fe b- 21 M ay -2 1 Au g- 21 N ov -2 1 Fe b- 22 M ay -2 2 Au g- 22 N ov -2 2 Fe b- 23 M ay -2 3 Au g- 23 N ov -2 3 Fe b- 24 M ay -2 4 Au g- 24 N ov -2 4 Hybrid Vehicle vs. EV Industry Sales Volume Penetration Hybrid (HEV/PHEV) Penetration % BEV Penetration % So ur ce : M or ga n St an le y R es ea rc h 8 100% Luxury Import Domestic Total Sonic FY 2024 Average New Vehicle Relative GPU by Power Train BEV Hybrid ICE Average New Vehicle GPU Note: Average new vehicle relative GPU by power train in the chart above is shown as a percentage of blended average GPU for each brand group and franchised dealerships segment total GPU, where 100% represents the blended average GPU for each brand group and the franchised dealerships segment total GPU. Note: Hybrid and electric vehicle trends and GPU headwinds are estimates of future results. Actual results may differ. See “Forward- Looking Statements.”

NYSE SAH Strategic Focus – EchoPark Segment • Returned to positive segment adjusted EBITDA* in FY 2024 after 3 years of used vehicle industry headwinds • Expect to resume disciplined expansion of EchoPark footprint once used vehicle market conditions are supportive • Long-term goal to reach 90% of the U.S. population • Below-market pricing and no-haggle, transparent guest experience expected to drive market share gains • EchoPark maintains the #1 ranking in guest satisfaction among all major pre- owned vehicle retailers according to Reputation EchoPark Strategy * Refer to appendix for calculation and reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA (a non-GAAP measure).

NYSE SAH Strategic Focus – EchoPark Segment (continued) 10 • Focus on maintaining positive retail used vehicle GPU throughout FY 2025 due to faster inventory turns and stability in wholesale and retail prices and used car supply • Maintain focus on optimizing F&I product offerings and pricing to drive F&I GPU growth in FY 2025 • Expect relative stability in used vehicle wholesale and retail prices in FY 2025, reducing inventory acquisition costs and potentially driving incremental industry sales volume as consumer affordability improves • Used vehicle supply is projected to reach its lowest point in late 2025, due to lower levels of off-lease inventory as a result of declines in new vehicle industry sales volume since 2020 and fewer lease originations • Beyond 2025, gradual expansion of used vehicle supply and further normalization of used vehicle pricing should drive consumer demand and higher retail sales volume for EchoPark EchoPark Strategy $10.7 $(47.8) $(105.4) $(83.0) $27.6 $(9.1) $4.2 $2,013 $1,762 $2,657 $2,183 $3,029 $2,461 $2,974 FY 2020 FY 2021 FY 2022 FY 2023 FY 2024 Q4 2023 Q4 2024 EchoPark Segment Adjusted EBITDA* and Total GPU (Used GPU + F&I GPU) Adjusted EBITDA* (Millions) Total GPU Source: J.D.

NYSE SAH Sonic Automotive FY 2025 Outlook • Expect low single digit percentage growth in revenues and gross profit, driven by: • Continued normalization of new vehicle GPU in the $2,500 to $3,000 per unit range, depending on seasonality, brand mix, and EV margin volatility • Low single digit percentage growth in new and used retail unit sales volume, consistent with projected industry growth rates • Mid single digit percentage growth in fixed operations gross profit, driven by additional technician headcount and service marketing strategy • Mid single digit percentage F&I gross profit growth, driven by higher retail unit volume and F&I GPU in the $2,400 per unit range • Expect adjusted SG&A expenses as a % of gross profit* of approximately 70% Consolidated • Expect low single digit percentage growth in revenues and gross profit • Expect adjusted SG&A expenses as a % of gross profit* in the low 70% range Franchised Dealerships Segment EchoPark Segment • Expect adjusted EBITDA* between $30-$33 million, driven by: • Anticipated operational improvement at seven stores that were not yet profitable on a pre-tax basis in FY 2024 • Mid single digit percentage growth in used retail unit sales volume, driven by organic volume growth opportunities at existing store footprint and an increase in advertising spend per retail unit to build brand awareness • Low single digit percentage F&I GPU growth, driven by continued focus on optimizing underperforming stores • Expect SG&A expenses as a % of gross profit in the high 70% range (target below 70% at maturity) Powersports Segment • Expect adjusted EBITDA* between $7-$8 million, with majority coming in Q3 (Q1 & Q4 slightly negative due to seasonality) * Refer to appendix for calculation and reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA (a non-GAAP measure). Note: Above outlook is based on projections. Actual results may differ. See “Forward-Looking Statements.” Financial data may also include certain forward-looking information that is not presented in accordance with GAAP. We believe that a quantitative reconciliation of such forward-looking information to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure cannot be made available without unreasonable efforts, because a reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures would require an estimate of future non-operating items such as impairment charges, gain/loss on property dispositions, and/or non-recurring SG&A expenses. Neither the timing nor likelihood of these events, nor their probable significance, can be quantified with a reasonable degree of accuracy.
