Lithia & Driveway (LAD) Reports Record Second Quarter Revenue of $9.6 billion, Achieves 25% Increase in Diluted Earnings Per Share, 30% Increase in Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share

Announces Dividend of $0.55 per Share for Second Quarter

MEDFORD, Ore. , July 29, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Lithia & Driveway (NYSE: LAD) today reported the highest second quarter revenue in company history, and a 25% increase in diluted earnings per share compared to the same period in 2024.

Second quarter 2025 revenue increased 4% to $9.6 billion from $9.2 billion in the second quarter of 2024.

Second quarter 2025 diluted earnings per share attributable to LAD was $9.87, a 25% increase from $7.87 per share reported in the second quarter of 2024. Second quarter 2025 adjusted diluted earnings per share attributable to LAD was $10.24, a 30% increase compared to $7.87 per share in the same period of 2024. Unrealized gains on our investment in Pinewood Technologies Group PLC contributed $1.03 to diluted earnings per share for the quarter.

Second quarter 2025 net income was $258 million, a 19.2% increase compared to net income of $217 million in the same period of 2024. Adjusted second quarter 2025 net income was $268 million, a 24% increase compared to adjusted net income of $217 million for the same period of 2024.

As shown in the attached non-GAAP reconciliation tables, the 2025 second quarter adjusted results exclude a $0.37 per diluted share impact resulting from non-core items, including a net loss on the disposal of stores, insurance reserves, and acquisition expenses, partially offset by tax attributes. The 2024 second quarter adjusted results had offsetting non-core items related to insurance reserves, tax attributes, and acquisition expenses.

Key Second Quarter 2025 Highlights:

  • Total gross profits increased 4.3% compared to second quarter 2024
  • Aftersales gross profit increased 11.5% compared to second quarter 2024
  • Financing operations generated profitability of $20 million, a 179% increase year-over-year
  • Driveway Finance Corporation (DFC) originated $731 million in loans, with U.S. penetration increasing to 14.8% and net interest margin increasing to 4.6%
  • Repurchased 1.5% of outstanding shares

"Building on continued strength across our core operations, Lithia & Driveway's differentiated design once again powered record performance in the second quarter as we delivered a 25% year-over-year increase in diluted EPS. Operational excellence across the business translated into robust growth" said Bryan DeBoer, President and CEO.  "The scalability of our omnichannel ecosystem, including Driveway, DFC, and our recent acquisitions is driving market-share gains, earnings growth and capital efficiency for our shareholders.  We are well positioned to accelerate our growth in the second half of 2025 and beyond."

For the first six months of 2025 revenues increased 5% to $18.8 billion, compared to $17.8 billion in 2024.

Diluted earnings per share attributable to LAD for the first six months of 2025 was $17.80, compared to $13.75 per share in 2024, an increase of 29%. Adjusted diluted earnings per share attributable to LAD for the first six months of 2025 increased 28% to $17.88 from $13.97 in the same period of 2024. Unrealized gains on our investment in Pinewood Technologies Group PLC contributed $0.75 to diluted earnings per share for the year.

In June 2025, LAD continued to expand its network in the Southeast region with the acquisition of the two Mercedes-Benz stores in Collierville, Tennessee and Jackson, Mississippi. These additions add $220 million of expected annualized revenue.

Year-to-date, we have acquired $400 million of expected annualized revenues.

  • Our compliance with financial and restrictive covenants in our credit facilities and other debt agreements
  • Our programs and initiatives for team member recruitment, training, and retention
  • Our strategies and targets for customer retention, growth, market position, operations, financial results and risk management

Because forward-looking statements relate to the future, they are subject to inherent uncertainties, risks and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict and many of which are outside of our control. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance, and our actual results of operations, financial condition and liquidity and development of the industry in which we operate may differ materially from those made in or suggested by the forward-looking statements in this presentation. Therefore, you should not rely on any of these forward-looking statements. The risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from estimated or projected results include, without limitation:

  • Future national and local economic and financial conditions, including as a result of inflation, governmental programs and spending, and public health issues
  • The market for dealerships, including the availability of stores to us for an acceptable price
  • Changes in customer demand and the electric vehicle landscape and the impact of evolving digital technologies
  • Changes in our relationship with, and the financial and operational stability of, OEMs and other suppliers, and vehicle delivery models
  • Changes in the competitive landscape, including through technology and our ability to deliver new products, services and customer experiences and a portfolio of in-demand and available vehicles

  • The adequacy of our cash flows and other conditions which may affect our ability to fund capital expenditures, obtain favorable financing and pay our quarterly dividend at planned levels

  • Government regulations and legislation
  • The risks set forth throughout "Part II, Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" and in "Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors" of our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, and in "Part II, Item 1A. Risk Factors" of our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, and from time to time in our other filings with the SEC.

Any forward-looking statement made by us in this presentation is based only on information currently available to us and speaks only as of the date on which it is made. Except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statement, whether written or oral, that may be made from time to time, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This presentation contains non-GAAP financial measures, which may include adjusted net income, adjusted net income attributable to LAD, adjusted net income attributable to non-controlling interests, adjusted net income attributable to redeemable non-controlling interest, adjusted diluted earnings per share attributable to LAD, adjusted SG&A, adjusted SG&A as a percentage of revenue and gross profit, adjusted operating income, adjusted net cash provided by operating activities, adjusted income before income taxes, adjusted income tax (provision) benefit, adjusted operating profit as a percentage of revenue and gross profit, adjusted pre-tax margin and net profit margin, EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA and net debt. 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 present cash flows from operations in the attached tables, adjusted to include the change in non-trade floor plan debt to improve the visibility of cash flows related to vehicle financing. As required by SEC rules, we have reconciled these measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures in the attachments to this release. We believe the non-GAAP financial measures we present improve the transparency of our disclosures; provide a meaningful presentation of our results from core business operations, because they exclude items not related to core business operations and other non-cash items; and improve the period-to-period comparability of our results from core business operations. These presentations should not be considered an alternative to GAAP measures.
