“Our people and our ecosystem set Lithia & Driveway apart again this quarter, delivering record quarterly revenues and continued growth in earnings per share. Used vehicle profitability strengthened, aftersales margins expanded, cost discipline continued, and Financing Operations delivered strong income growth on the strength of a high-quality credit portfolio. The capital decisions of the past year are reflected in our financial results, with a meaningfully lower share count magnifying every dollar we earn. With the flexibility of our cash generation and strong balance sheet, the earnings power of our model continues to build as we head into 2027.”
