Each filer's latest fiscal year as stored by the nightly crawl; fiscal year ends differ across the universe. A metric ranks only filers for which it is computable from filed facts. Ties split; a rank reads "better than N% of filers" in the metric's own direction. Descriptive and educational, not a rating.
Earnings quality
latest fiscal year ending 2025-12-31 · accruals and cash conversion as filedPer fiscal year from filed facts: cash conversion = operating cash flow / net income (net income > 0); cash-flow accrual ratio = (net income - operating cash flow) / average total assets; balance-sheet accrual ratio = change in net operating assets / average net operating assets, NOA = (assets - cash) - (liabilities - debt). Descriptive; a missing input yields a missing ratio. High accrual ratios and cash conversion well below one are the measures the accruals literature associates with less persistent earnings; they are screens to read the cash-flow statement with, not conclusions. The per-year series is part of Pro risk analysis.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES Leases We lease certain dealerships, office space, land, and equipment. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheets; we recognize lease expense for these leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term. We have elected not to bifurcate lease and non-lease components related to leases of real property. Most leases include one or more options to renew, with renewal terms that can extend the lease term from one to 25 or more years. The exercise of lease renewal options is at our sole discretion. Certain leases also include options to purchase the leased property. The depreciable life of assets and leasehold improvements are limited by the expected lease term, unless there is a transfer of title or purchase option reasonably certain of exercise. Certain of our lease agreements include rental payments based on a percentage of retail sales over contractual levels and others include rental payments adjusted periodically for inflation. Our lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants. We rent or sublease certain real estate to third parties.

SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION PLANS Employee Stock Purchase Plan The 2009 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP) allows for the issuance of 3.0 million shares of our common stock. The ESPP is intended to qualify as an Employee Stock Purchase Plan under Section 423 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and is administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board. As of December 31, 2025, 817,691 shares were available for purchase pursuant to the ESPP. Eligible team members are entitled to allocate up to 10% of their base pay for the purchase of stock, up to $25,000 of fair market value of our common stock annually. The purchase price is equal to 85% of the fair market value at the end of the purchase period. Compensation expense related to our ESPP is calculated based on the 15% discount from the per share market price on the date of grant. For the year ended December 31, 2025, 103,075 shares were purchased pursuant to the ESPP at a weighted average price per share of $270.18, with weighted average per share discount from market value of $47.69.

Fair value · 6,722 characters as filed
FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS Factors used in determining the fair value of our financial assets and liabilities are summarized into three broad categories: Level 1 - quoted prices in active markets for identical securities; Level 2 - other significant observable inputs, including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment spreads, credit risk; and Level 3 - significant unobservable inputs, including our own assumptions in determining fair value. We determined the carrying value of cash, restricted cash, cash equivalents, accounts receivable, trade payables, accrued liabilities, finance receivables, and short-term borrowings approximate their fair values because of the nature of their terms and current market rates of these instruments. We believe the carrying value of our variable rate debt approximates fair value. We have money market securities, which include restricted cash from collections on finance receivables, recorded as a component of Cash, restricted cash, and cash equivalents in our Consolidated Balance Sheets, as well as restricted cash on deposit in reserve accounts, recorded as a component of Other non-current assets in our Consolidated Balance Sheets. These money market securities consist of highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less and are classified as Level 1. We have investments consisting of equity securities, available for sale debt securities, and equity method investment with a fair value election. We ca …

Recent Accounting Pronouncements In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09 related to improvements to income tax disclosures. The amendments in this update require enhanced jurisdictional and other disaggregated disclosures for the effective tax rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. We adopted this pronouncement and made the necessary updates to our disclosures for the year ending December 31, 2025, and, aside from these disclosure changes, the amendments did not have a material effect on our financial statements. In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03 related to the disaggregation of certain income statement expenses. The amendments in this update require public entities to disclose incremental information related to purchases of inventory, team member compensation, and depreciation, which will provide investors the ability to better understand entity expenses and make their own judgments about entity performance. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026. We plan to adopt this pronouncement and make the necessary updates to our disclosures for the year ending December 31, 2027, and, aside from these disclosure changes, we do not expect the amendments to have a material effect on our financial statements.

SEGMENTS As of December 31, 2025, we had two reportable segments: Vehicle Operations and Financing Operations. Our Vehicle Operations consists of all aspects of our auto merchandising and service operations, including our retail automotive, recreational vehicles, and motorcycle franchises that sell new vehicles, used vehicles, parts, repair and maintenance services, and vehicle F&I products. Vehicle Operations excludes financing provided by our Financing Operations. Our Financing Operations segment provides financing to customers buying and leasing retail vehicles from our Vehicle Operations. All other remaining activity is reported under Corporate and Other, including corporate personnel costs, certain unallocated reserves, internal charges, and other unallocated corporate overhead expenses. Internal charges consist of corporate expense allocations which increase segment income for Corporate and Other while decreasing segment income for the other operating segments. These internal corporate expense allocations are used to increase comparability of our dealerships and reflect the capital burden a stand-alone dealership would experience. Examples of these internal allocations include internal rent expense, internal floor plan financing charges, and internal fees charged to offset team members within our corporate headquarters that perform certain dealership functions. The reportable segments identified above represent our business activities for which discrete financial in …

Fair value · 6,480 characters as filed
FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS Factors used in determining the fair value of our financial assets and liabilities are summarized into three broad categories: Level 1 - quoted prices in active markets for identical securities; Level 2 - other significant observable inputs, including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment spreads, credit risk; and Level 3 - significant unobservable inputs, including our own assumptions in determining fair value. We determined the carrying value of cash, restricted cash, cash equivalents, accounts receivable, trade payables, accrued liabilities, finance receivables, and short-term borrowings approximate their fair values because of the nature of their terms and current market rates of these instruments. We believe the carrying value of our variable rate debt approximates fair value. We have money market securities, which include restricted cash from collections on finance receivables, recorded as a component of Cash, restricted cash, and cash equivalents in our Consolidated Balance Sheets, as well as restricted cash on deposit in reserve accounts, recorded as a component of Other non-current assets in our Consolidated Balance Sheets. These money market securities consist of highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less and are classified as Level 1.
