Third Quarter 2024 Performance

During the third quarter, retail automotive service and parts revenue increased 14% to a record $778.0 million. New and used automotive gross profit per unit retailed remained strong, and variable gross profit per unit retailed increased sequentially when compared to the second quarter of 2024 by $8. In addition, when compared to the same sequential period, equity earnings from the Company's investment in Penske Transportation Solutions increased 14%.

Commenting on the Company's financial results, Chair and CEO Roger Penske said, "I am pleased with our financial performance during the third quarter, despite the impact from the stop sale of certain vehicles and the residual impact from the CDK Cyber Security incident. New and used retail automotive gross profit per unit remained strong, retail automotive service and parts performed at record levels, the retail commercial truck business performed well, selling, general, and administrative expenses remained well controlled, and the equity income from Penske Transportation Solutions increased 14% sequentially despite continued freight challenges."

For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, revenue increased 2% to $22.7 billion. Net income attributable to common stockholders was $682.5 million compared to $862.5 million in the prior year period, and related earnings per share was $10.20 compared to $12.64 for the same period in 2023. Foreign currency exchange positively impacted revenue by $166.2 million, net income attributable to common stockholders by $2.7 million, and earnings per share by $0.04.

Retail Automotive Dealerships

For the three months ended September 30, 2024, total new units delivered increased 5% and used units delivered decreased 13%. During 2024, the Company transitioned its U.K. based CarShop locations to Sytner Select dealerships. These dealerships sell fewer units which contributed to the 13% decline in used vehicles retailed during the third quarter. Excluding these U.K. used only vehicle dealerships, used vehicles retailed would have increased 1%. Same-store retail units declined 7% but only decreased 3% when excluding the U.K. used only vehicle dealerships. Total retail automotive revenue remained flat at $6.3 billion but declined 5% on a same-store basis. Service and parts revenue increased 14% to $778.0 million and increased 7% on a same-store basis. Total retail automotive gross profit increased 2% to $1.0 billion.

Retail Commercial Truck Dealerships

As of September 30, 2024, Premier Truck Group operated 46 North American retail commercial truck locations. For the three months ended September 30, 2024, retail unit sales increased 14% to 6,331. Revenue was $1.1 billion compared to $964.7 million in the same period last year. Earnings before taxes was $56.5 million compared to $61.1 million in the same period in 2023. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, revenue was $2.7 billion compared to $2.8 billion in the same period last year.
