AutoNation 4Q Revenue Rises on Higher Vehicle Sales

Dow Jones

Feb 11, 2025

By Josée Rose

AutoNation's fourth-quarter profit fell slightly on higher expenses, but its revenue rose.

The car-dealership chain posted fourth-quarter net income of $186.1 million, or $4.64 a share, compared with $216.2 million, or $5.04 a share, a year earlier.

On an adjusted basis, earnings were $4.97 a share.

Revenue rose to $7.21 billion compared with $6.77 billion a year ago, as same-store revenue increased 8%.

Analysts, on average, were expecting adjusted earnings of $4.26 a share on revenue of $6.8 billion.

AutoNation said new vehicle revenue rose 12.1% to $3.78 billion, while used vehicle revenue edged up slightly to $1.91 billion.

The cost of sales and selling, general and administrative expenses ticked up during the quarter, denting the bottom line.

AutoNation shares edged up almost 2% in recent premarket trading to $196.29. Shares have risen 30% in the past 52 weeks of trading.
