Complete event summary combining all related documents: earnings call transcript, report, and slide presentation.49th Annual Automotive Symposium summary3 Nov, 2025
Business overview and segment strategy
Operates three segments: new vehicle franchises, EchoPark used vehicles, and Power Sports, with a focus on consolidation and growth opportunities in the latter due to low acquisition multiples and market fragmentation.
Power Sports segment is seen as a growth area, resembling the early days of automotive retail, with plans to build scalable processes before significant expansion.
EchoPark reduced from 50 to 18 locations to optimize profitability amid used vehicle supply constraints, with plans to resume expansion as off-lease supply recovers by 2026-2028.
Brand awareness and differentiation are key for EchoPark, with a focus on competitive pricing and potential for direct-to-home delivery.
Power Sports acquisitions offer lower entry multiples compared to traditional auto franchises, providing attractive valuation upside.
Market environment and consumer trends
New vehicle market remains healthy with normalized inventory levels and a projected SAR of 15.8-16.2 million, though luxury brands saw a slowdown in October.
Incentives are expected to boost fourth quarter sales, especially for luxury brands facing excess inventory and slower demand.
Electric vehicle (EV) penetration was 12% in Q3, concentrated in luxury brands, but inventory was right-sized to 4% to reduce margin pressure.
Affordability is a growing concern, with average new vehicle payments at $750/month and few models under $30,000, though the luxury segment remains resilient.
Some demand was likely pulled forward due to tariff and tax credit changes, potentially impacting late-year sales.
Financial and credit trends
FICO scores for franchise and EchoPark customers average around 710, but subprime is the fastest-growing segment, with approval rates at EchoPark at 55%.
No changes have been made to credit standards or underwriting, as risk is borne by third-party lenders.
Indirect lending structure insulates from direct credit risk, though tightening in subprime is being closely monitored.

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.
