Executive summary

  • Transformation plan delivered $80M in annualized savings by Q2 2025, with the target raised to $115M by year-end, focusing on core Canadian operations and divesting unprofitable U.S. assets.

  • Leadership transition underway as the company nears completion of its transformation and refocuses on Canadian operations.

  • Strategic actions included divestitures, cost optimization, and centralization to improve efficiency and profitability.

Financial highlights

  • Revenue from continuing operations declined 3.1% year-over-year to $1.34B, mainly due to lower used vehicle and F&I sales, partially offset by gains in new vehicles, parts, and collision repair.

  • Gross profit from continuing operations increased 2.1% to $225.4M, with margin up 80 bps to 16.8%, driven by used vehicle and collision repair services.

  • Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations rose 92.4% year-over-year to $64.4M, margin expanded 240 bps to 4.8%.

  • Net income from continuing operations was $18.9M, up from a loss in the prior year; diluted EPS increased to $0.72 from $0.12.

  • Operating expenses before depreciation fell 9–10.1% year-over-year, reflecting restructuring and cost control.

Outlook and guidance

  • Annualized cost savings target increased to $115M, with $48.5M net in-year savings expected by year-end after $29M restructuring costs.

  • U.S. dealership divestitures expected to close in the second half of 2025, with proceeds to deleverage the balance sheet.

  • Temporary softness in same store sales anticipated during transformation, with normalization expected post-transition.

  • Focus remains on completing U.S. divestitures, reducing leverage to 2–3x Net Funded Debt/Adjusted Bank EBITDA, and optimizing Canadian footprint.

  • Canadian new light vehicle market expected at 1.8–1.9M units in 2025, but tariffs may introduce uncertainty.

excellent app, it gives me free access to company earnings calls and annual reports. I also love the convenience of calls being available offline so I can listen in whilst doing other things and even when internet or WiFi isn't available.

One of the very few apps you could call perfect. If something was to add to it, maybe the share price of the company when you search for it, but it's already excellent.
