AutoNation 4Q Revenue Declines on Weaker New, Used Vehicle Sales

Dow Jones

Feb 06

By Nicholas G. Miller

AutoNation reported lower fourth-quarter revenue, weighed down by fewer comparable sales of both new and used vehicles.

The company posted net income of $172.1 million, down from $186.1 million the year before. On a per-share basis, earnings rose to $4.70 from $4.64.

Adjusted earnings were $5.08 a share. Analysts polled by FactSet had expected $4.85 a share.

Revenue fell 4% to $6.93 billion. Wall Street had forecast $7.2 billion. Same-store new vehicle retail unit sales fell 10%, while same-store used vehicle unit sales dropped 5%.

Sales volume in the quarter was hurt by elevated sales earlier in the year, when car buyers were racing to get ahead of potential tariff-induced price increases and the expiration of government incentives on battery electric vehicles.
