BLOOMFIELD HILLS, Mich., Feb. 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Penske Automotive Group, Inc. (NYSE: PAG), a diversified international transportation services company and one of the world's premier automotive and commercial truck retailers, today announced fourth quarter and twelve months 2025 results. For the quarter, revenue was $7.8 billion compared to $8.1 billion for the same period in 2024. Net income attributable to common stockholders was $186.1 million compared to $249.3 million in the prior year period, and related earnings per share was $2.83 compared to $3.73 for the same period in 2024. These GAAP results include certain impairments and other charges, as well as the full quarterly results of Penske Motor Group in both periods, which is required by GAAP for common control transactions (see page 15 below). Excluding certain impairments and other charges, adjusted net income decreased 23% to $191.5 million and adjusted earnings per share decreased 22% to $2.91. Foreign currency exchange positively impacted revenue by $113.3 million, net income attributable to common stockholders by $0.7 million, and earnings per share by $0.01.

Commenting on the Company's results, Chair Roger Penske said, "In 2025, our business delivered over 504,000 retail auto and commercial truck units, generated nearly $32 billion in revenue and $1.3 billion in earnings before taxes. Our diversified model remains resilient as vehicle inventory remains in good shape, service and parts remain strong, and our costs remain well controlled. I was pleased with how our team performed during the fourth quarter in light of the difficult quarter-over-quarter comparisons, including the impact to auto sales from pull forward activity, the continuing weakness in the commercial truck freight market, and the macro-economic environment in the U.K." Penske continued, "Over the last two years, we completed divestitures of 23 non-strategic retail automotive dealerships representing nearly 21,000 new and used units and $700 million in revenue. In addition, over the last few months, we announced acquisitions of two Toyota dealerships and four Lexus dealerships representing approximately $2 billion in estimated annualized revenue that will drive further scale and growth for Penske Automotive Group."

For the twelve months ended December 31, 2025, revenue remained flat from the same period in 2024 to $31.8 billion. Net income attributable to common stockholders decreased 4% to $935.4 million compared to $968.9 million in the prior year period, and related earnings per share decreased 3% to $14.13 compared to $14.49 for the same period in 2024. These GAAP results include certain impairments and other charges, as well as the full year results of Penske Motor Group in both periods, which is required by GAAP for common control transactions (see page 15 below). Excluding certain impairments and other charges and gain on sale of a dealership in the first quarter of 2025 as reconciled in the attached schedules, adjusted net income decreased 5% to $922.8 million and adjusted earnings per share decreased 4% to $13.94. Foreign currency exchange positively impacted revenue by $302.3 million, net income attributable to common stockholders by $2.5 million, and earnings per share by $0.04.

Retail Automotive Dealerships

For the three months ended December 31, 2025, total new units delivered decreased 10%. New units decreased 8% in the U.S. and declined 14% internationally. The decrease is attributed to 2,000 units from divestitures and lower sales of certain premium brands in both the U.S. and U.K. markets. These certain premium brands declined 20% in the U.S. from pull forward activity from tariffs and the expiration of BEV tax credits, while the decline in the U.K. is principally related to the weak operating environment. In addition, Q4 was impacted by an 800 unit decline on sales of Land Rover/Jaguar units primarily related to inventory constraints from the OEM cyber incident. Used units delivered decreased 6%, consisting of a 3% decrease in the U.S. and a 9% decrease internationally. The used unit decline is attributed to 1,650 units from divestitures and a 1,000 unit, or 22% decline, at Sytner Select locations. Total retail automotive revenue decreased 5% to $6.7 billion and decreased 4% on a same-store basis. Total retail automotive gross profit decreased 6% to $1.1 billion and decreased 5% on a same-store basis.

For the twelve months ended December 31, 2025, total new units delivered decreased 2%. Used units delivered decreased 11%. The decrease in used units internationally is largely attributable to the previously announced realignment of the Company's U.K. used only dealerships to Sytner Select as we either closed or sold four locations to focus on retailing fewer units at better margin and lower costs. Total retail automotive revenue was consistent with the prior year at $27.5 billion and remained flat on a same-store basis. Total retail automotive gross profit increased 1% to $4.5 billion, and same-store gross profit increased 1%, driven by a 7% increase in same-store service and parts.

Retail Commercial Truck Dealerships

For the three months ended December 31, 2025, the Company's retail commercial truck dealerships retailed 3,789 new and used units and generated $725.4 million in revenue and $33.8 million in earnings before taxes. This compares to new and used units of 4,432, revenue of $773.7 million, and $44.8 million in earnings before taxes during the same period in the prior year as continued weakness in the freight market impacted new and used truck demand, OEM new truck orders, and truck gross profit per unit. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2025, revenue decreased 3% to $3.4 billion from $3.5 billion and decreased 6% on a same-store basis, and earnings before taxes was $174.7 million compared to $203.6 million in the prior year period.

Corporate Development, Capital Allocation, Liquidity, and Leverage

The Company's strong balance sheet, cash flow generation, and best in class leverage continue to support our flexible capital allocation approach. In January 2026, the Company announced that it signed an agreement to acquire Lexus of Orlando and Lexus of Winter Park, both located in the Orlando metropolitan area of Central Florida. The acquisition is expected to add $450 million in annualized revenue. Closing of the transaction is expected to occur during the first quarter of 2026 and is subject to customary conditions. The Company expects to fund the purchase price using cash flow from operations and availability under its U.S. credit agreement. 

During November 2025, the Company acquired Penske Motor Group, which owns and operates two Lexus brand locations and one Toyota brand location in California and one Toyota brand location in Texas, including Longo Toyota, the largest Toyota brand dealership in the U.S., with expected revenue of $1.5 billion. Also, the Company's Board of Directors approved an increase in the quarterly dividend of 1.4%, or $0.02 per share, to $1.40 per share representing a forward dividend yield of 3.4%. The increase represents the Company's 21^st consecutive quarterly increase. On a trailing twelve-month basis, the dividend payout ratio is 37.9%. The dividend is payable March 5, 2026, to shareholders of record as of February 25, 2026.

During September 2025, we repaid in full at scheduled maturity our $550 million of 3.50% senior subordinated notes due September 1, 2025. During the twelve months ended December 31, 2025, the Company repurchased 1,178,411 shares of common stock, or approximately 1.8% of its outstanding shares. As of December 31, 2025, $247.5 million remained outstanding and available for repurchases under our securities repurchase program. As of December 31, 2025, the Company had approximately $1.6 billion in liquidity, including $65 million in cash and $1.5 billion of availability under its U.S. and international credit agreements. The Company's leverage ratio at December 31, 2025, was 1.5x.
