In addition, I am particularly pleased with our continued effort to control costs as selling, general, and administrative expenses as a percentage of gross profit decreased 70 basis points when compared to the fourth quarter last year and 90 basis points sequentially when compared to the third quarter of 2024." Full Year 2024 Operating Highlights Compared to Full Year 2023 New and Used Retail Automotive Units Delivered – increased 1% Total Revenue – increased 3% to $30.5 billion Retail Automotive Service and Parts Revenue – increased 11% to over $3 billion, an all-time record Retail Automotive Same-Store Revenue – flat New Vehicle +2%; Used Vehicle -5%; Finance & Insurance -4%; Service & Parts +6% For the twelve months ended December 31, 2024, revenue increased 3% to $30.5 billion.

Gross profit per new vehicle retailed improved $74 sequentially from the third quarter of 2024. During 2024, the Company transitioned its U.K. based CarShop locations to Sytner Select dealerships to be more closely aligned with existing franchised dealerships and focus on retailing premium branded vehicles to better leverage inventory and cost and improve gross margins, among other benefits. As a result, the Sytner Select dealerships sell fewer units per location, which contributed to the 6% decline in used vehicles retailed during the fourth quarter. However, excluding the performance of the U.K. Sytner Select dealerships in both periods, used vehicles retailed increased 8%. Same-store used retail units decreased 6% but increased 3% when excluding the U.K. Sytner Select dealerships.
