Shares declined 4.6% following earnings, driven primarily by weaker new vehicle volumes and lingering headwinds in the premium luxury segment after the loss of BEV incentives. Despite solid margins in some areas, the cautious outlook for key segments appears to have weighed on investor sentiment.

• New vehicle unit sales declined in line with the broader market, with BEV sales falling over 50% year-over-year, heavily impacting the premium luxury segment.
• New vehicle unit profitability improved sequentially by 5%, helped by higher per unit profits in import and premium luxury vehicles.
• Aftersales gross profit grew 5% to a first quarter record of $593 million, aided by 8% growth in customer pay and 7% growth in warranty-related gross profit, offsetting a 6% decline in internal pay.
• Customer Financial Services posted a first quarter record per unit profit, up 6% from a year ago, though growth in internal finance company originations represented a short-term headwind to this metric.
• Strong adjusted free cash flow of $256 million supported $350 million in capital deployment, including $300 million in share repurchases, while leverage remained within targeted investment-grade levels.
