NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Asbury Automotive Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation organized in 2002, is one of the largest automotive retailers in the United States. Our store operations are conducted by our subsidiaries.

As of June 30, 2024, we owned and operated 204 new vehicle franchises (155 dealership locations), representing 31 brands of automobiles, and 37 collision centers in 15 states. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, our new vehicle revenue brand mix consisted of 29% luxury, 41% imports and 29% domestic brands. Our stores offer an extensive range of automotive products and services, including new and used vehicles; parts and service, which includes repair and maintenance services, replacement parts and collision repair services (collectively referred to as "parts and services" or "P&S"); and finance and insurance ("F&I") products, including arranging vehicle financing through third parties and aftermarket products, such as extended service contracts, guaranteed asset protection ("GAP") debt cancellation and prepaid maintenance. The finance and insurance products are provided by independent third parties and Total Care Auto, Powered by Landcar ("TCA"). The Company reflects its operations in two reportable segments: Dealerships and TCA.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"), and reflect the consolidated accounts of Asbury Automotive Group, Inc. (the "Company") and our wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. If necessary, reclassifications of amounts previously reported have been made to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements in order to conform to current presentation.

In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting only of normal, recurring adjustments, considered necessary for a fair statement of the condensed consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2024, and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, have been included, unless otherwise indicated. Amounts presented in the condensed consolidated financial statements have been calculated using non-rounded amounts for all periods presented and therefore certain amounts may not compute.

The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any other interim period, or any full year period. Our condensed consolidated financial statements should be read together with our audited consolidated financial statements contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods presented. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates. Estimates and assumptions are reviewed quarterly and the effects of any revisions are reflected in the consolidated financial statements in the period they are determined to be necessary. Estimates made in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include, but are not limited to, those relating to inventory valuation reserves, reserves for chargebacks against revenue recognized from the sale of F&I products, reserves for self-insurance programs, and certain assumptions related to goodwill and dealership franchise rights intangible assets.

Share Repurchases

Share repurchases may be made from time-to-time in open market transactions or through privately negotiated transactions under the authorization approved by the Board of Directors. Periodically, the Company may retire repurchased shares of common stock previously held by the Company as treasury stock. In accordance with our accounting policy, we allocate any excess share repurchase price over par value between additional paid-in capital, which is limited to amounts initially recorded for the same issue, and retained earnings.

During the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company repurchased 192,599 and 959,803 shares and retired 192,599 and 959,803 shares, of our common stock under our share repurchase program, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company repurchased 432,389 and 1,070,126 shares and retired 432,389 and 1,124,330, shares, of our common stock under our share repurchase program, respectively. The cash paid for these share repurchases was $93.2 million and $210.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Table of Contents

On May 15, 2024, the Company announced that its Board of Directors approved an increase of $256.2 million in the Company's common share repurchase authorization to $400.0 million (the "New Share Repurchase Authorization"). As of June 30, 2024, the Company had $365.6 million remaining on its share repurchase authorization. The share repurchase authorization does not require the Company to repurchase any specific number of shares, and may be modified, suspended or terminated at any time without further notice.

Earnings per Share

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average common shares and common share equivalents outstanding during the period. The Company excluded 145 and 714 restricted share units issued under the Asbury Automotive Group, Inc. 2019 Equity and Incentive Compensation Plan from its computation of diluted earnings per share for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The Company did not exclude any performance share units issued under the Asbury Automotive Group, Inc. 2019 Equity and Incentive Compensation Plan from its computation of diluted earnings per share for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023. During the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company excluded 2,865 and 3,947 restricted share units and 23 and 0 performance share units issued under the Asbury Automotive Group, Inc. 2019 Equity and Incentive Compensation Plan from its computation of diluted earnings per share, respectively, because they were anti-dilutive. For all periods presented, there were no adjustments to the numerator necessary to compute diluted earnings per share.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

The Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued final guidance in ASU 2023-09, Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, in December 2023 which primarily expands the disclosures related to the effective tax rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024 and should be applied prospectively with the option of retrospective application. We are evaluating the impact of this new guidance on our consolidated financial statements.

In November 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2023-07, Segment Reporting: Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures ("ASU 2023-07"), which enhances the disclosures primarily around segment expenses. In addition, the amendments expand the scope of quarterly financial reporting by requiring disclosure of both existing annual segment reporting disclosures and the expanded disclosures outlined in ASU 2023-07. The guidance should be applied retrospectively and is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and for interim periods beginning after December 15, 2024. We are evaluating the impact of this new guidance on our consolidated financial statements.

3. ACQUISITIONS AND DIVESTITURES

Koons Acquisition

On December 11, 2023, we completed the acquisition of the Jim Koons Dealerships ("Koons"). The results of the Jim Koons Dealerships have been included in our consolidated financial statements since that date.

As a result of the Koons acquisition, we acquired 20 new vehicle dealerships, six collision centers and the real property related thereto, for a total purchase price of approximately $1.50 billion, which includes $256.1 million of new vehicle floor plan financing and $100.9 million of assets held for sale related to Koons Lexus of Wilmington. The preliminary purchase price was paid in cash.

Table of Contents

The sources of the preliminary purchase consideration are as follows:


	(In millions)
Cash	$	941.3
New vehicle floor plan facility	256.1
Used vehicle floor plan facility	307.1
Preliminary purchase price	$	1,504.5

Under the acquisition method of accounting, the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed are recorded at their estimated fair value based on information currently available. The following table summarizes the amounts recorded based on preliminary estimates of fair value:


Summary of Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed
	(In millions)
Assets
Inventories, net	$	310.6
Other current assets	13.7
Assets held for sale	100.9
Total current assets	425.2
Property and equipment, net	418.3

Intangible franchise rights	430.3
Operating lease right-of-use assets	11.2
Total assets acquired	$	1,523.9
Liabilities
Operating lease liabilities	$	11.2
Other liabilities	8.2
Total liabilities assumed	19.4
Net assets acquired	$	1,504.5

The preliminary acquisition accounting is based upon the Company’s estimates of fair value. The estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed and the related preliminary acquisition accounting are based on management’s estimates and assumptions, as well as other information compiled by management, including the books and records of Koons. Our estimates and assumptions are subject to change during the measurement period, not to exceed one year from the acquisition date. The areas of acquisition accounting that are not yet finalized primarily relate to the following significant items: (i) finalizing the review and valuation of inventory, land, land improvements, buildings and non-real property and equipment (including the models, key assumptions, estimates and inputs used) and assignment of remaining useful lives associated with the depreciable assets, and (ii) finalizing the review and valuation of manufacturer franchise rights (including key assumptions, inputs and estimates). As the initial acquisition accounting is based on our preliminary assessments, actual values may differ (possibly materially) when final information becomes available that differs from our current estimates. We believe that the information gathered to date provides a reasonable basis for estimating the preliminary fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. We will continue to evaluate these items until they are satisfactorily resolved and adjust our acquisition accounting accordingly, within the allowable measurement period. Measurement period adjustments recorded during the six months ended June 30, 2024 and their related effects on our consolidated statement of income were not material.

On a preliminary basis, approximately $430.3 million of the purchase price was assigned to the indefinite lived franchise rights intangible assets related to the dealer agreements applicable to each new vehicle dealership. In addition, goodwill of $238.9 million was recognized and is primarily attributable to the anticipated synergies that Asbury expects to derive from the Koons acquisition as well as the acquired assembled workforce of the Koons dealerships.

The Company's consolidated statement of income for the six months ended June 30, 2024 included revenue and net income attributable to the Jim Koons Dealerships of $1,406.7 million and $49.2 million, respectively.

There were no gross losses and $0.2 million gross gains realized related to the sale of available-for-sale debt securities carried at fair value for the three months ended June 30, 2024. There were no gross losses and $0.3 million gross gains realized related to the sale of available-for-sale debt securities carried at fair value for the six months ended June 30, 2024.

There were $0.1 million and $0.2 million gross gains realized, respectively, related to the sale of available-for-sale debt securities carried at fair value for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023. There were no gross losses realized related to the sale of available-for-sale debt securities carried at fair value for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023. There were $3.7 million gross gains and $0.9 million gross losses realized, respectively, related to the sale of equity securities carried at fair value for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023.

The following tables summarize the amount of unrealized losses, defined as the amount by which the amortized cost exceeds fair value, and the related fair value of investments with unrealized losses. The investments were segregated into two categories: those that have been in a continuous unrealized loss position for less than 12 months and those that have been in a continuous unrealized loss position for 12 or more months. The reference point for determining how long an investment was in an unrealized loss position was June 30, 2024.

The Company reviews the investment securities portfolio at the security level on a quarterly basis for potential credit losses, which takes into consideration numerous factors including changes in credit ratings. The decline in fair value identified in the tables above are a result of widening market spreads and not a result of credit quality. Additionally, the Company has determined it has both the intent and ability to hold these investments until the market price recovers or until maturity and does not believe it will be required to sell the securities before maturity. Accordingly, no credit losses were recognized on these securities during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024.

8. GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE FRANCHISE RIGHTS

Our acquisitions have resulted in the recording of goodwill and intangible franchise rights. Goodwill is an asset representing operational synergies and future economic benefits arising from other assets acquired in a business combination that are not individually identified and separately recognized. Franchise rights are indefinite-lived intangible assets representing our rights under franchise agreements with vehicle manufacturers. Goodwill and intangible franchise rights are tested annually as of October 1st, or more frequently in the event that facts and circumstances indicate a triggering event has occurred.

Based on the underperformance of certain stores, limited primarily to one brand, we performed quantitative impairment tests of franchise rights for certain stores in our Dealerships segment in the second quarter of 2024. The quantitative impairment tests for franchise rights included a comparison of the estimated fair value to the carrying value of each franchise right asset. The Company estimates fair value by using a discounted cash flow model (income approach) based on market participant assumptions related to the cash flows directly attributable to the franchise. These assumptions include year-over-year and terminal growth rates, weighted average cost of capital, future gross margins, and future selling, general, and administrative expenses.

The results of the quantitative impairment testing for certain franchise rights in the second quarter of 2024 identified that the carrying values of certain of our franchise rights intangible assets exceeded their fair value. As a result, we recognized a $134.1 million pre-tax non-cash impairment charge during the three months ended June 30, 2024.

The stores with franchise rights impairments in the second quarter of 2024 primarily related to our Arizona and Utah reporting units within our Dealerships segment. Therefore, we performed quantitative impairment assessments of goodwill for

Table of Contents

these two reporting units in the second quarter of 2024. The results of our quantitative assessments indicated that the carrying value of goodwill related to the Arizona and Utah reporting units did not exceed their fair value.

We also recorded a goodwill impairment charge of $1.3 million during the three months ended June 30, 2024 related to one dealership that met the assets held for sale criteria in June 2024. The quantitative impairment test of the disposal group included a comparison of the estimated fair value to the carrying value of the disposal group less cost to sell.

9. FLOOR PLAN NOTES PAYABLE

Floor plan notes payable consisted of the following:


	As of
	June 30, 2024		December 31, 2023
	(In millions)
Floor plan notes payable—trade	$	301.5	$	245.6
Floor plan notes payable offset account	(198.7)		(50.5)
Floor plan notes payable—trade, net	$	102.8	$	195.1

Floor plan notes payable—new non-trade	$	1,530.0	$	1,328.1
Floor plan notes payable—used non-trade	—		307.1
Floor plan notes payable offset account	(212.7)		(44.7)
Floor plan notes payable—non-trade, net	$	1,317.3	$	1,590.6

We have floor plan offset accounts that allow us to offset our floor plan notes payable balances outstanding with transfers of cash to reduce the amount of outstanding floor plan notes payable that would otherwise accrue interest, while retaining the ability to transfer amounts from the offset account into our operating cash accounts within the same day.

We have the ability to convert a portion of our availability under the Revolving Credit Facility to the New Vehicle Floor Plan Facility or the Used Vehicle Floor Plan Facility. The maximum amount we are allowed to convert is determined based on our aggregate revolving commitment under the Revolving Credit Facility, less $50.0 million. In addition, we are able to convert any amounts moved to the New Vehicle Floor Plan Facility or Used Vehicle Floor Plan Facility back to the Revolving Credit Facility.

In addition to our new and used vehicle floor plan facilities, we have loaner vehicle floor plan facilities with Bank of America and certain original equipment manufacturers (“OEMs”). Loaner vehicles notes payable related to Bank of America as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 were $132.3 million and $127.2 million, respectively. Loaner vehicles notes payable related to OEMs as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 were $103.9 million and $111.9 million, respectively.

11. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND FAIR VALUE

In determining fair value, we use various valuation approaches, including market and income approaches. Accounting standards establish a hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs are inputs that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from independent sources. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect our assumptions about the presumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. The hierarchy is broken down into three levels based on the reliability of inputs as follows:

Level 1-Valuations based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that we have the ability to access.

Level 2-Valuations based on quoted prices in markets that are not active or for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly. Assets and liabilities utilizing Level 2 inputs include interest rate swap instruments, exchange-traded debt securities that are not actively traded or do not have a high trading volume, mortgage notes payable and certain real estate properties on a non-recurring basis.

Level 3-Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement. Asset and liability measurements utilizing Level 3 inputs include those used in estimating the fair value of certain non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities in purchase acquisitions and those used in the assessment of impairment for goodwill and manufacturer franchise rights.

The availability of observable inputs can vary and is affected by a wide variety of factors. To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. Accordingly, the degree of judgment required to determine fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3. In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement is disclosed is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

Table of Contents

Fair value is a market-based exit price measure considered from the perspective of a market participant who holds the asset or owes the liability rather than an entity-specific measure. Therefore, even when market assumptions are not readily available, our assumptions are set to reflect those that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date. We use inputs that are current as of the measurement date, including during periods of significant market fluctuations.

Financial instruments consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, investments, contracts-in-transit, accounts receivable, cash surrender value of corporate-owned life insurance policies, accounts payable, floor plan notes payable, subordinated long-term debt, mortgage notes payable and interest rate swap instruments. The carrying values of our financial instruments, with the exception of subordinated long-term debt, approximate fair value due to (i) their short-term nature, (ii) recently completed market transactions or (iii) existence of variable interest rates, which approximate market rates. The fair value of our subordinated long-term debt is based on reported market prices in an inactive market that reflect Level 2 inputs.

A summary of the carrying values and fair values of our subordinated long-term debt is as follows:

Interest Rate Swap Agreements

We currently have six interest rate swap agreements. These swaps are designed to provide a hedge against changes in variable rate cash flows regarding fluctuations in the SOFR rate. The following table provides information on the attributes of each swap as of June 30, 2024:


Inception Date	Notional Principal at Inception		Notional Value as of June 30, 2024		Notional Principal at Maturity		Maturity Date
	(In millions)
January 2022	$	300.0	$	266.3	$	228.8	December 2026
January 2022	$	250.0	$	250.0	$	250.0	December 2031
May 2021	$	184.4	$	162.2	$	110.6	May 2031
July 2020	$	93.5	$	73.6	$	50.6	December 2028
July 2020	$	85.5	$	65.3	$	57.3	November 2025
June 2015	$	100.0	$	56.1	$	53.1	February 2025

The fair value of cash flow swaps is calculated as the present value of expected future cash flows, determined on the basis of forward interest rates and present value factors. Fair value estimates reflect a credit adjustment to the discount rate applied to all expected cash flows under the swaps. Other than this input, all other inputs used in the valuation of these swaps are designated to be Level 2 inputs. The fair value of our swaps was an $89.2 million and $79.8 million asset as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

Our interest rate swaps qualify for cash flow hedge accounting treatment. These interest rate swaps are marked to market at each reporting date and any unrealized gains or losses are included in accumulated other comprehensive income and reclassified to interest expense in the same period or periods during which the hedged transactions affect earnings. Information about the effect of our interest rate swap agreements in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of income and condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income, is as follows (in millions):



For the Three Months Ended June 30,	Results Recognized in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income/(Loss)		Location of Amount Reclassified from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income/(Loss) to Earnings	Amount Reclassified from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income/(Loss) to Earnings
2024	$	8.1	Other interest expense, net	$	(8.7)
2023	$	8.3	Other interest expense, net	$	(8.7)


For the Six Months Ended June 30,	Results Recognized in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income/(Loss)		Location of Amount Reclassified from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income/(Loss) to Earnings	Amount Reclassified from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income/(Loss) to Earnings
2024	$	27.2	Other interest expense, net	$	(17.8)
2023	$	(18.8)	Other interest expense, net	$	(16.4)

On the basis of yield curve conditions as of June 30, 2024 and including assumptions about future changes in fair value, we expect the amount to be reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income into earnings within the next 12 months will be gains of $28.3 million.

12. SUPPLEMENTAL CASH FLOW INFORMATION

During the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, we made interest payments, including amounts capitalized, totaling $131.8 million and $73.2 million, respectively.

During the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, we made income tax payments, net of refunds received, totaling $63.8 million and $127.4 million, respectively.

During the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, we transferred $232.3 million and $197.9 million, respectively, of loaner vehicles from other current assets to inventories on our condensed consolidated balance sheets. The aforementioned amounts are included in changes in inventories in the operating activities section of the accompanying consolidated statements of cash flows.

13. SEGMENT INFORMATION

As of June 30, 2024, the Company had two reportable segments: (1) Dealerships and (2) TCA. Our dealership operations are organized by management into geographic market-based groups within the Dealerships segment. The operations of our F&I product provider are reflected within our TCA segment. Our Chief Operating Decision Maker is our Chief Executive Officer who manages the business, regularly reviews financial information and allocates resources at the geographic market level for our dealerships and at the TCA segment level for our F&I product provider's operations. The geographic dealership group operating segments have been aggregated into one reportable segment as their operations (i) have similar economic characteristics (our markets all have similar long-term average gross margins), (ii) offer similar products and services (all of our markets offer new and used vehicles, parts and service, and finance and insurance products), (iii) have similar customers, (iv) have similar distribution and marketing practices (all of our markets distribute products and services through dealership facilities that market to customers in similar ways), and (v) operate under similar regulatory environments.

Table of Contents

TCA's vehicle protection products are sold through affiliated dealerships and the revenue from the related commissions is included in finance and insurance, net revenue in the Dealerships segment before consolidation. The corresponding claims expense incurred and the amortization of deferred acquisition costs is recorded as a cost of sales in the TCA segment. The Dealerships segment also provides vehicle repair and maintenance services to TCA customers in connection with claims related to TCA's vehicle protection products. The associated service revenue and costs recorded by the Dealerships segment and claims expense recorded by the TCA segment are eliminated in consolidation.

Reportable segment financial information for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, are as follows:

14. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

On August 3, 2022, we received a Civil Investigative Demand (“CID”) from the FTC requesting information and documents concerning the Company’s corporate structure and operation of six of its dealerships. We responded to the CID by producing information and documents for the period August 1, 2019 to April 24, 2023. On February 8, 2024, the FTC staff

Table of Contents

counsel sent to us a proposed consent order and draft complaint, alleging that the Company and three of our dealerships had violated Section 5 of the Federal Trade Commission Act (“FTC Act”) and certain provisions of the Equal Credit Opportunity Act (“ECOA”) in connection with the sale of add-on products (e.g., vehicle service contracts, maintenance plans, etc.), and advising that it would recommend the filing of an enforcement action if the Company did not settle the FTC’s claims. The Company disputes the FTC’s allegations that it violated the FTC Act and the ECOA, and is currently involved in discussions with the FTC staff regarding the matter. There can be no assurance that negotiations between us and the FTC for a favorable settlement will be successful, or that we will succeed in any litigation as a result of the investigation. At this time, we are unable to reasonably predict the possible outcome of this matter, or provide a reasonably possible range of loss, if any, as a result of the investigation. If the FTC files a suit against us based on these allegations, whether meritorious or not, it may adversely affect our ability to attract customers, result in the loss of existing customers, harm our reputation and cause us to incur defense costs and other expenses.

Our dealerships are party to dealer and framework agreements with applicable vehicle manufacturers. In accordance with these agreements, each dealership has certain rights and is subject to restrictions typical in the industry. The ability of these manufacturers to influence the operations of the dealerships or the loss of any of these agreements could have a materially negative impact on our operating results.

In some instances, manufacturers may have the right, and may direct us, to implement costly capital improvements to dealerships as a condition to entering into, renewing, or extending franchise agreements with them. Manufacturers also typically require that their franchises meet specific standards of appearance. These factors, either alone or in combination, could cause us to use our financial resources on capital projects for which we might not have planned or otherwise determined to undertake.

From time-to-time, we and our dealerships are or may become involved in various claims relating to, and arising out of, our business and our operations. These claims may involve, but not be limited to, financial and other audits by vehicle manufacturers or lenders and certain federal, state, and local government authorities, which have historically related primarily to (i) incentive and warranty payments received from vehicle manufacturers, or allegations of violations of manufacturer agreements or policies, (ii) compliance with lender rules and covenants, and (iii) payments made to government authorities relating to federal, state, and local taxes, as well as compliance with other government regulations. Claims may also arise through litigation, government proceedings, and other dispute resolution processes. Such claims, including class actions, could relate to, but may not be limited to, the practice of charging administrative fees and other fees and commissions, employment-related matters, truth-in-lending and other dealer assisted financing obligations, contractual disputes, actions brought by governmental authorities, and other matters.

We evaluate pending and threatened claims and establish loss contingency reserves based upon outcomes we currently believe to be probable and reasonably estimable. Based on our review of the various types of claims currently known to us, there is no indication of material reasonably possible losses in excess of amounts accrued in the aggregate. We currently do not anticipate that any known claim will materially adversely affect our financial condition, liquidity, or results of operations. However, the outcome of any matter cannot be predicted with certainty, and an unfavorable resolution of one or more matters presently known or arising in the future could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, liquidity, or results of operations.

A significant portion of our business involves the sale of vehicles, parts, or vehicles composed of parts that are manufactured outside the United States. As a result, our operations are subject to customary risks of importing merchandise, including fluctuations in the relative values of currencies, import duties, exchange controls, trade restrictions, work stoppages, and general political and socio-economic conditions in foreign countries. The United States or the countries from which our products are imported may, from time-to-time, impose new quotas, duties, tariffs, or other restrictions, or adjust presently prevailing quotas, duties, or tariffs, which may affect our operations, and our ability to purchase imported vehicles and/or parts at reasonable prices.

Substantially all of our facilities are subject to federal, state and local provisions regarding the discharge of materials into the environment. Compliance with these provisions has not had, nor do we expect such compliance to have, any material effect upon our capital expenditures, net earnings, financial condition, liquidity or competitive position. We believe that our current practices and procedures for the control and disposition of such materials comply with applicable federal, state, and local requirements. No assurances can be provided, however, that future laws or regulations, or changes in existing laws or regulations, would not require us to expend significant resources in order to comply therewith.

We had $13.3 million of letters of credit outstanding as of June 30, 2024, which are required by certain of our insurance providers. In addition, as of June 30, 2024, we maintained a $21.3 million surety bond line in the ordinary course of our business. Our letters of credit and surety bond line are considered to be off balance sheet arrangements.

OVERVIEW

We are one of the largest automotive retailers in the United States. As of June 30, 2024, through our Dealerships segment, we owned and operated 204 new vehicle franchises (155 dealership locations), representing 31 brands of automobiles, and 37 collision centers within 15 states. Our stores offer an extensive range of automotive products and services, including new and used vehicles; parts and service, which includes repair and maintenance services, replacement parts and collision repair services; and finance and insurance products. The finance and insurance products are provided by both independent third parties and TCA. The F&I products offered by TCA are sold through affiliated dealerships. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, our new vehicle revenue brand mix consisted of 29% luxury, 41% imports and 29% domestic brands. The Company manages its operations in two reportable segments: Dealerships and TCA. Amounts presented have been calculated using non-rounded amounts for all periods presented and therefore certain amounts may not compute.

Our Dealerships segment revenues are derived primarily from: (i) the sale of new vehicles; (ii) the sale of used vehicles to individual retail customers ("used retail") and to other dealers at auction ("wholesale") (the terms "used retail" and "wholesale" collectively referred to as "used"); (iii) repair and maintenance services, including collision repair, the sale of automotive replacement parts, and the reconditioning of used vehicles (collectively referred to as "parts and service"); and (iv) the arrangement of third-party vehicle financing and the sale of a number of vehicle protection products. We evaluate the results of our new and used vehicle sales based on unit volumes and gross profit per vehicle sold, our parts and service operations based on aggregate gross profit, and our F&I business based on F&I gross profit per vehicle sold.

Our TCA segment revenues, reflected in F&I revenue, net, are derived from the sale of various vehicle protection products including vehicle service contracts, GAP, prepaid maintenance contracts, and appearance protection contracts. These products are sold through company-owned dealerships. TCA's F&I revenues also include investment gains or losses and income earned associated with the performance of TCA's investment portfolio.

Our TCA segment gross profit margin can vary due to incurred claims expense and the performance of our investment portfolio. Certain F&I products may result in higher gross profit margins to TCA. Therefore, the product mix of F&I products

Table of Contents

sold by TCA can affect the gross profits earned. In addition, interest rate volatility, based on economic and market conditions outside the control of the Company, may increase or reduce TCA segment gross profit margins as well as the fair market values of certain securities within our investment portfolio. Fair market values typically fluctuate inversely to the fluctuations in interest rates.

Selling, general, and administrative ("SG&A") expenses consist primarily of fixed and incentive-based compensation, advertising, rent, insurance, utilities, and other customary operating expenses. A significant portion of our cost structure is variable (such as sales commissions) or controllable (such as advertising), which we believe allows us to adapt to changes in the retail environment over the long-term. We evaluate commissions paid to salespeople as a percentage of retail vehicle gross profit, advertising expense on a per vehicle retailed basis, and all other SG&A expenses in the aggregate as a percentage of total gross profit.

Our continued organic growth is dependent upon the execution of our balanced automotive retailing and service business strategy, the continued strength of our brand mix and the production and allocation of desirable vehicles from the automobile manufacturers whose brands we sell. Our vehicle sales have historically fluctuated with product availability as well as local and national economic conditions, including consumer confidence, availability of consumer credit, fuel prices and employment levels.

In addition, our ability to sell certain new and used vehicles can be negatively impacted by a number of factors, some of which are outside of our control. Certain manufacturers continue to be hampered by the lack of availability of parts and key components from suppliers which has impacted new vehicle inventory levels and availability of certain parts. We cannot predict with any certainty how long the automotive retail industry will continue to be subject to these production slowdowns or when normalized production will resume at these manufacturers.

CDK Outage

During June 2024, one of the Company’s vendors (CDK Global) experienced a cyber-incident impacting certain services provided to the Company and many other automotive retailers, including the Company’s sales, service, inventory, customer relationship management, and accounting functions. Upon discovery of the incident, we took immediate precautionary steps to protect our systems. Beginning on June 19, 2024, the outage affected all Asbury locations, with the exception of our Koons stores which utilize a different dealer management system. All functions of CDK were not fully restored for us until July 8, 2024, with other plug-ins and bolt-on applications coming back online in the weeks thereafter. The CDK outage had a negative impact on our financial results during the quarter ended June 30, 2024 as a result of fewer new and used vehicle sales, which also impacted our F&I business, a reduction in parts and service volumes and certain one-time expenses related to our recovery efforts.

We have cybersecurity insurance coverage of $15.0 million, with a $2.5 million deductible. The likelihood and timing of recovering some portion of our losses through insurance or other recoveries is difficult to predict. The insurance recoveries we receive, if any, may not occur for several quarters or longer.

Jim Koons Acquisition

On December 11, 2023, the Company completed the acquisition of substantially all of the assets, including all real property and businesses of the Jim Koons Dealerships ("Koons") pursuant to a Purchase and Sale Agreement with various entities that comprise the Jim Koons automotive dealerships group (the "Koons acquisition"). The Koons acquisition comprised 20 new vehicle dealerships and six collision centers.

Financial Highlights

Highlights related to our financial condition and results of operations include the following:

•Consolidated revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was $8.45 billion, compared to $7.32 billion for the prior year.

•Consolidated gross profit for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was $1.48 billion, compared to $1.41 billion for the prior year.

•The increase in consolidated revenue and gross profit is primarily due to the effects of the Koons acquisition, offset by the negative impact of the CDK outage in June 2024 as well as lower gross profit per vehicle sold for both new and used vehicles as margins continue to shift downward from the historic highs in recent years.

•Our capital allocation priorities were supported by the repurchase of 432,389 shares for $93.2 million during the six months ended June 30, 2024.

CONSOLIDATED RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The Company's operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 include the results of the Koons dealerships acquired in the fourth quarter of 2023. Accordingly, the increases in revenue and gross profit for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 are largely a result of this acquisition. Additionally, during the three months ended June 30, 2024, we recorded asset impairments of $135.4 million related to franchise rights impairments for certain underperforming stores, limited primarily to one brand.

We assess the organic growth of our revenue and gross profit on a same store basis. We believe that our assessment on a same store basis represents an important indicator of comparative financial performance and provides relevant information to assess our performance. As such, for the following discussion, same store amounts consist of information from dealerships for identical months in each comparative period, commencing with the first full month we owned the dealership. Additionally, amounts related to divested dealerships are excluded from each comparative period.

Total revenue during the second quarter of 2024 increased by $503.7 million (13%) compared to the second quarter of 2023, due to a $222.2 million (11%) increase in new vehicle revenue, a $200.7 million (18%) increase in used vehicle revenue, a $54.7 million (10%) increase in parts and service revenue and a $26.0 million (16%) increase in F&I, net revenue. During the three months ended June 30, 2024, gross profit increased by $17.6 million (2%) driven by a $47.9 million (16%) increase in parts and service gross profit and a $9.5 million (6%) increase in F&I gross profit partially offset by a $29.9 million (16%) decrease in new vehicle gross profit and a $9.8 million (14%) decrease in used vehicle gross profit. The increase in revenue and gross profit is largely attributable to the Koons acquisition and is offset by the negative impact of the CDK outage. The CDK outage had a negative impact on our financial results during the quarter ended June 30, 2024 as a result of fewer new and used vehicle sales, which also impacted our F&I business, and a reduction in parts and service volumes.

Income from operations during the second quarter of 2024 decreased by $187.2 million (65%) compared to the second quarter of 2023, primarily due to $135.4 million in asset impairments and a $68.0 million (17%) increase in SG&A expense, partially offset by $17.6 million (2%) increase in gross profit.

Total other expenses, net increased by $35.9 million (135%) during the second quarter of 2024 as compared to the second quarter of 2023, primarily as a result of a $20.2 million increase in floor plan interest expense and a $9.9 million decrease in gain on dealership divestitures. Income before income taxes decreased $223.1 million (85%) to $38.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024. Overall, net income decreased by $168.2 million (86%) during the second quarter of 2024 as compared to the second quarter of 2023.

For the three months ended June 30, 2024, new vehicle revenue increased by $222.2 million (11%) due to a $132.2 million (17%) increase in import brands revenue and a $90.6 million (17%) increase in domestic brands revenue, partially offset by a $0.6 million decrease in luxury brands revenue. Same store new vehicle revenue decreased by $112.9 million (6%) primarily driven by a $82.1 million (15%) decrease in domestic brands revenue, a $19.8 million (3%) decrease in luxury brands revenue and an $11.0 million (1%) decrease in import brands revenue.

For the three months ended June 30, 2024, new vehicle gross profit and same store new vehicle gross profit decreased by $29.9 million (16%) and $54.1 million (29%), respectively. Same store new vehicle gross margin for the three months ended June 30, 2024 decreased 239 basis points to 7.1%. A similar decrease was seen in new vehicle gross profit margins, as reported. The decrease in our new vehicle gross profit margin was primarily attributable to the easing of new vehicle inventory constraints which softened the historically high new vehicle margins seen in recent years. Additionally, the CDK outage had a negative impact on our new vehicle revenue and gross profit during the quarter ended June 30, 2024 as a result of fewer new vehicle sales.

The seasonally adjusted annual rate ("SAAR") for new vehicle sales in the U.S. during the three months ended June 30, 2024 was approximately 15.6 million which increased as compared to approximately 15.5 million during the three months ended June 30, 2023. The increase in SAAR period over period reflects higher inventory supply coupled with continued consumer demand for new vehicles but new vehicle sales volumes were tempered by the CDK cyber-security incident which impacted industry

retail unit sales increased by 22% due to the Koons acquisition while same store retail used vehicle unit sales decreased by 2% during the three months ended June 30, 2024 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2023. Revenue per used vehicle retailed have continued to contract as seen in the second quarter of 2024, along with margins on both an all store and same store basis. Used vehicle revenue and unit volumes have been negatively impacted by the lack of inventory availability, especially in vehicles with lower mileage. For the three months ended June 30, 2024, total Company and same store used vehicle retail gross profit margins decreased by 166 basis points and 139 basis points, respectively, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2023. Decreases in used vehicle gross margins, on both a total Company and same store basis, was largely driven by a tighter market for used vehicles during the three months ended June 30, 2024 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2023.

For the three months ended June 30, 2024, used vehicle retail gross profit margins decreased from 6.5% to 4.8% and 6.5% to 5.1% respectively, for all stores and on a same store basis when compared to the same period of the prior year. Used vehicle retail gross profit decreased $9.4 million (14%) for the three months ended June 30, 2024 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2023 and decreased $17.8 million (27%) on a same store basis for the same periods. On a total company basis our gross profit per used vehicle retailed decreased $618 (30%), and on a same store basis, our gross profit per used vehicle retailed decreased $532 (26%) when compared to the prior year period which was primarily driven by decreases in used vehicle market prices. Additionally, the CDK outage had a negative impact on our used vehicle revenue and gross profit during the quarter ended June 30, 2024 as a result of fewer used vehicle sales.

* Reconditioning and preparation represents the gross profit earned by our parts and service departments for internal work performed and is included as a reduction of Parts and Service Cost of Sales in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income upon the sale of the vehicle.

The $54.7 million (10%) increase in parts and service revenue was primarily due to a $40.7 million (15%) increase in customer pay revenue, a $13.1 million (20%) increase in warranty revenue, a $1.0 million (1%) increase in wholesale parts revenue, partially offset by a $0.1 million decrease in collision revenue. Same store parts and service revenue decreased by $9.9 million (2%) to $510.8 million during the three months ended June 30, 2024 from $520.6 million during the three months ended June 30, 2023. The decrease in same store parts and service revenue was due to an $8.0 million (7%) decrease in wholesale parts revenue, a $7.5 million (11%) decrease in collision revenue, partially offset by a $4.6 million (7%) increase in warranty revenue and a $1.0 million increase in customer pay revenue. Consumers are owning a vehicle for longer periods of time due to various factors, including the higher cost of vehicles, higher interest rates, as well as the vehicle inventory constraints experienced in the automotive industry in recent years.

For the three months ended June 30, 2024, total parts and service gross profit increased by $47.9 million (16%) to $339.9 million and same store total parts and service gross profit increased by $10.5 million (4%) to $299.9 million when compared to the same period of the prior year. The all store increase is primarily due to the Koons acquisition and reconditioning and preparation, while the same store increase is primarily a result of increased customer pay and warranty volume, which is in line with the increasing trend of aged vehicles. Additionally, the CDK outage had a negative impact on our parts and service revenue and gross profit during the quarter ended June 30, 2024 as a result of a reduction in parts and service volumes.

F&I revenue, net increased by $26.0 million (16%) during the second quarter of 2024 when compared to the second quarter of 2023, as a result of a 16% increase in total retail units sold offset by a $212 (9%) decrease in F&I per vehicle retailed.

On a same store basis, F&I revenue, net decreased by $7.7 million (5%) during the second quarter of 2024 when compared to the second quarter of 2023, as a result of a 5% decrease in total retail units sold and an 11% decrease in F&I per vehicle retailed. We are seeing slightly lower penetration rates in our F&I products as customers look for ways to manage lower monthly payments in a high interest rate environment. Additionally, the CDK outage had a negative impact on our financial results during the quarter ended June 30, 2024 as a result of fewer new and used vehicle sales, which also affected our F&I business.

TCA offers a variety of F&I products, such as extended vehicle service contracts, prepaid maintenance contracts, GAP, appearance protection contracts and lease wear-and-tear contracts. TCA's products are sold through our automobile dealerships.

Revenue generated by TCA is earned over the period of the related product contract. The method for recognizing revenue is assigned based on contract type and expected claim patterns. Premium revenues are supplemented with investment gains or losses and income earned associated with the performance of TCA's investment portfolio. During the three months ended June 30, 2024, TCA generated $37.7 million of revenue, consisting primarily of earned premiums and $4.4 million investment income from the investment portfolio.

Direct expenses incurred for the acquisition of F&I contracts on which revenue has not yet been recognized have been deferred and are amortized over the related contract period. During the three months ended June 30, 2024, TCA recorded $17.7 million of cost of sales consisting primarily of claims expense. Commissions expense paid by TCA to our affiliated dealerships and reflected as F&I revenue in our Dealerships segment is eliminated in the TCA segment upon consolidation.

As we continue to integrate TCA, we expect a rollout of TCA products to our remaining stores by the end of 2024. With the ownership of TCA, while the combined profitability of the transaction is higher, the timing of revenue and cost recognition is deferred and amortized over the life of the contract. We expect that this rollout will result in lower F&I revenue and gross profit over the next two to three years due to the change in how these contracts are earned.

SG&A expense as a percentage of gross profit increased 792 basis points from 57.3% for three months ended June 30, 2023 to 65.2% for three months ended June 30, 2024, while same store SG&A expense as a percentage of gross profit increased 778 basis points to 64.9% over the same period in 2024. The increase in SG&A expense as a percentage of gross profit on a total company basis during the three months ended June 30, 2024 is primarily the result of higher cost in personnel and other categories in SG&A expense partially offset by higher gross profits for the three months ended June 30, 2024 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2023. The increase in SG&A as a percentage of gross profit on the same store basis during the three months ended June 30, 2024 is primarily the result of lower gross profits for the three months ended June 30, 2024 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2023 . On a total company basis, SG&A expense increased by $68.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2023 primarily due to the Koons acquisition in December 2023. Additionally, during the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, we incurred $3.1 million and $4.3 million, respectively, of losses related to hail damage at certain dealerships.

During the three months ended June 30, 2024, we recognized asset impairments of $135.4 million as compared to no impairment charges during the three months ended June 30, 2023. The asset impairments resulted from our interim franchise rights impairment tests for certain underperforming stores, limited primarily to one brand.

Floor Plan Interest Expense —

Floor plan interest expense increased by $20.2 million to $21.0 million during the three months ended June 30, 2024 as compared to $0.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 due to less cash held in the floor plan offset account during the three months ended June 30, 2023.

Other Interest Expense —

Other interest expense increased $5.8 million (15%) during the three months ended June 30, 2024 from $39.3 million during the three months ended June 30, 2023 to $45.1 million. This increase was primarily due to a $6.3 million increase in our credit facility interest expense, $1.2 million increase in loaner payable interest expense driven by higher loaner vehicle balances as well as a $0.8 million decrease in interest income, partially offset by a decrease of $1.0 million in mortgage interest expense and a decrease of $0.9 million in amortization of capitalized interest expense.

Gain on Dealership Divestitures —

During the three months ended June 30, 2024, we sold one Nissan franchise (one dealership location) in Denver, Colorado and one Nissan franchise (one dealership location) in Atlanta, Georgia. The Company recorded a pre-tax gain totaling $3.6 million, which is presented in our accompanying condensed consolidated statement of income as a gain on dealership divestitures.

During the three months ended June 30, 2023, we sold one Acura franchise (one dealership location) in Austin, Texas. The Company recorded a pre-tax gain totaling $13.5 million, which is presented in our accompanying condensed consolidated statement of income as a gain on dealership divestitures.

Income Tax Expense —

The $54.9 million (85%) decrease in income tax expense was primarily the result of a $223.1 million (85%) decrease in income before income taxes. Our effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2024 was 26.1% compared to 24.8% in the prior comparative period, which differed from the U.S. statutory rate primarily due to the favorable effects of the windfall component of equity compensation, a discrete item, and unfavorable effects of various permanent tax adjustments such as executive compensation. We estimate our effective tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2024 at 25.0%.

Total revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2024 increased by $1,122.6 million (15%) compared to the six months ended June 30, 2023, due to a $518.8 million (14%) increase in new vehicle revenue, a $431.1 million (19%) increase in used vehicle revenue, a $129.5 million (12%) increase in parts and service revenue and a $43.2 million (13%) increase in F&I, net revenue. The $71.4 million (5%) increase in gross profit during the six months ended June 30, 2024 was driven by a $99.9 million (17%) increase in parts and service gross profit and a $32.4 million (10%) increase in F&I, net gross profit, partially offset by a $46.0 million (13%) decrease in new vehicle gross profit and a $15.0 million (10%) decrease in used vehicle gross profit. The increase in revenue and gross profit is largely attributable to the Koons acquisition and is offset by the negative impact of the CDK outage. The CDK outage had a negative impact on our financial results during the quarter ended June 30, 2024 as a result of fewer new and used vehicle sales, which also impacted our F&I business, and a reduction in parts and service volumes.

Income from operations during the six months ended June 30, 2024 decreased by $200.9 million (36%), compared to the six months ended June 30, 2023, primarily due to a $135.4 million increase in franchise rights impairment and a $133.6 million (16%) increase in SG&A expense and a $3.4 million (10%) increase in depreciation and amortization expense, partially offset by a $71.4 million (5%) increase in gross profit.

Total other expenses, net increased by $64.8 million (100%), primarily as a result of a $42.4 million increase in floor plan interest expense, an increase of $12.6 million (16%) in other interest expense, net and a $9.9 million (73%) decrease in gain on dealership divestitures, recorded during the six months ended June 30, 2024 when compared to the same period of the prior year. Income before income taxes decreased $265.8 million (53%) to $233.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. Overall, net income decreased by $202.5 million (54%) during the six months ended June 30, 2024 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2023.

For the six months ended June 30, 2024, new vehicle revenue increased by $518.8 million (14%) as a result of a 15% increase in new vehicle units sold. Same store new vehicle revenue decreased by $125.7 million (3%) as the result of a 3% decrease in new vehicle units sold.

For the six months ended June 30, 2024, new vehicle gross profit and same store new vehicle gross profit decreased by $46.0 million (13%) and $94.8 million (26%), respectively. Same store new vehicle gross margin for the six months ended June 30, 2024 decreased 232 basis points to 7.5% driven by the continued easing of new vehicle inventory constraints which softened the historically high new vehicle margins seen in recent years.

The seasonally adjusted annual rate ("SAAR") for new vehicle sales in the U.S. during the six months ended June 30, 2024 was approximately 15.5 million which increased as compared to approximately 15.3 million during the six months ended June 30, 2023. The increase in SAAR period over period reflects higher inventory supply coupled with continued consumer demand for new vehicles. However, we continue to be impacted by the significant variation in new vehicle days supply among brands and models.

Revenue per used vehicle retailed have continued to contract as seen in the second quarter of 2024, along with margins on both an all store and same store basis. Used vehicle revenue and unit volumes have been negatively impacted by the lack of inventory availability, especially in vehicles with lower mileage.

For the six months ended June 30, 2024, used vehicle retail gross profit margins decreased from 6.7% to 5.1% and 6.7% to 5.3%, respectively, for all stores and on a same store basis when compared to the same period of the prior year. Used vehicle retail gross profit decreased $15.1 million (11%) for the six months ended June 30, 2024 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2023 and decreased $34.9 million (26%) on a same store basis for the same period. On a total company basis, our gross profit per used vehicle retailed decreased $556 (26%), and on a same store basis, our gross profit per used vehicle retailed decreased $516 (24%) when compared to the prior year period which was primarily driven by decreases in used vehicle market prices. Decreases in used vehicle gross margins, on both a total Company and same store basis, was largely driven by a tighter market for used vehicles during the six months ended June 30, 2024 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2023.

The $129.5 million (12%) increase in parts and service revenue was primarily due to a $89.1 million (16%) increase in customer pay revenue, a $27.7 million (21%) increase in warranty revenue, a $7.9 million (4%) increase in wholesale parts revenue and a $4.7 million (3%) increase in collision revenue. Same store parts and service revenue decreased slightly by $0.6 million from $1.03 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2023 to $1.03 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The

Table of Contents

decrease in same store parts and service revenue was due to a $10.7 million (5%) decrease in wholesale parts revenue and a $10.7 million (8%) decrease in collision revenue, partially offset by a $10.7 million (8%) increase in warranty revenue and a $10.0 million (2%) increase in customer pay revenue. Consumers are owning a vehicle for longer periods of time due to various factors, including the higher cost of vehicles, higher interest rates, as well as the vehicle inventory constraints experienced in the automotive industry in recent years.

For the six months ended June 30, 2024, total parts and service gross profit increased by $99.9 million (17%) to $674.0 million, and same store total parts and service gross profit increased by $26.3 million (5%) to $594.7 million when compared to the same period of the prior year. The all store increase is primarily due to the Koons acquisition, while the same store increase is primarily a result of increased customer pay and warranty volume and reconditioning and preparation, which is in line with the increasing trend of aged vehicles.

On a same store basis, F&I revenue, net decreased by $24.5 million (7%) during the six months ended June 30, 2024 when compared to the six months ended June 30, 2023, as a result of a 3% decrease in new and used retail unit sales and an 8% decrease in F&I per vehicle retailed. We are seeing slightly lower penetration rates in our F&I products as customers look for ways to manage lower monthly payments in a higher interest rate environment.

SG&A expense as a percentage of gross profit increased 624 basis points from 57.6% for the six months ended June 30, 2023 to 63.8% for the six months ended June 30, 2024, while same store SG&A expense as a percentage of gross profit increased 617 basis points to 63.5% over the same period. The increase in SG&A as a percentage of gross profit on a total company basis during the six months ended June 30, 2024 is primarily the result of higher cost in personnel and other categories in SG&A expense partially offset by higher gross profits for the six months ended June 30, 2024 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2023. The increase in SG&A as a percentage of gross profit on the same store basis during the six months ended June 30, 2024 is primarily the result of lower gross profits for the six months ended June 30, 2024 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2023 and higher other costs related to an increase in loaner vehicle expenses and professional and other outside services. On a total company basis, SG&A expense increased by $133.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2023 primarily due to the Koons acquisition in December 2023. Additionally, during the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, we incurred $3.1 million and $4.3 million, respectively, of losses related to hail damage at certain dealerships.

Asset Impairments —

During the six months ended June 30, 2024, we recognized asset impairment charges of $135.4 million as compared to no impairment charges during the six months ended June 30, 2023. The asset impairments resulted from our interim franchise rights impairment tests for certain underperforming stores, limited primarily to one brand.

Floor Plan Interest Expense—

Floor plan interest expense increased by $42.4 million to $43.8 million during the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to $1.5 million during the six months ended June 30, 2023 due to higher levels of new inventory on hand and lower balances held in our floor plan offset accounts during the six months ended June 30, 2024 as compared to six months ended June 30, 2023.

Other Interest Expense —

Other interest expense increased $12.6 million (16%) during the six months ended June 30, 2024 from $76.6 million during the six months ended June 30, 2023 to $89.2 million. This increase was primarily due to the $12.2 million increase in our credit facility interest expense, $3.0 million increase in loaner payable interest expense driven by higher loaner vehicle balances as well

as a $1.9 million decrease in interest income, partially offset by a decrease of $2.3 million in mortgage interest expense and a decrease of $1.7 million in amortization of capitalized interest expense.

Gain on Dealership Divestitures —

Income Tax Expense—

The $63.2 million (52%) decrease in income tax expense was primarily the result of a $265.8 million (53%) decrease in income before income taxes. For the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, our effective income tax rate was 25.1% and 24.4%, respectively, which differed from the U.S. statutory rate primarily due to the favorable effects of the windfall component of equity compensation, a discrete item, and unfavorable effects of various permanent tax adjustments such as executive compensation. We currently estimate our effective tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2024 at approximately 25.0%.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

As of June 30, 2024, we had total available liquidity of $806.0 million, which consisted of cash and cash equivalents of $52.6 million (excluding $14.7 million held by TCA), available funds in our floor plan offset accounts of $411.4 million, $56.0 million of availability under our revolving credit facility and $286.1 million of availability under our used vehicle floor plan facility. The borrowing capacities under our revolving credit facility and our used vehicle floor plan facility are limited by borrowing base calculations and, from time-to-time, may be further limited by our required compliance with certain financial covenants. As of June 30, 2024, these financial covenants did not further limit our availability under our other credit facilities.

We continually evaluate our liquidity and capital resources based upon (i) our cash and cash equivalents on hand, (ii) the funds that we expect to generate through future operations, (iii) current and expected borrowing availability under our 2023 Senior Credit Facility, (iv) amounts in our new vehicle floor plan notes payable offset accounts, and (v) the potential impact of our capital allocation strategy and any contemplated or pending future transactions, including, but not limited to, financings, acquisitions, dispositions, equity and/or debt repurchases, dividends, or other capital expenditures. We believe we will have sufficient liquidity to meet our debt service and working capital requirements; commitments and contingencies; debt repayment, maturity and repurchase obligations; acquisitions; capital expenditures; and any operating requirements for at least the next twelve months and the foreseeable future.

Covenants

We are subject to a number of customary operating and other restrictive covenants in our various debt and lease agreements. We were in compliance with all of our covenants as of June 30, 2024.

Share Repurchases and Dividend Restrictions

Our ability to repurchase shares or pay dividends on our common stock is subject to our compliance with the covenants and restrictions in our various debt and lease agreements.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, we repurchased 192,599 and 432,389 shares of our common stock under our repurchase program for a total of $43.2 million and $93.2 million. On May 15, 2024, the Company announced that its Board of Directors approved an increase of $256.2 million in the Company's common share repurchase authorization to $400.0 million (the "New Share Repurchase Authorization"). As of June 30, 2024, we had $365.6 million remaining under its share repurchase authorization.

The extent to which the Company repurchases its shares, the number of shares and the timing of any repurchase will depend on such factors as Asbury’s stock price, general economic and market conditions, the potential impact on its capital structure, the expected return on competing uses of capital such as strategic dealership acquisitions and capital investments and other considerations. The program does not require the Company to repurchase any specific number of shares, and may be modified, suspended or terminated at any time without further notice.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, we repurchased 262 and 45,661 shares of our common stock for $0.1 million and $9.9 million, respectively, from employees in connection with a net share settlement feature of employee equity-based awards.

Cash Flows

Classification of Cash Flows Associated with Floor Plan Notes Payable

Borrowings and repayments of floor plan notes payable through our 2023 Senior Credit Facility ("Non-Trade"), and all floor plan notes payable relating to used vehicles (together referred to as "floor plan notes payable—non-trade"), are classified as financing activities on the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of cash flows, with borrowings reflected separately from repayments. The net change in floor plan notes payable to a lender affiliated with the manufacturer from which we purchase a particular new vehicle (collectively referred to as "floor plan notes payable—trade") is classified as an operating activity on the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. Borrowings of floor plan notes payable associated with inventory acquired in connection with all acquisitions and repayments made in connection with all divestitures are classified as a financing activity in the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of cash flows. Cash flows related to floor plan notes payable included in operating activities differ from cash flows related to floor plan notes payable included in financing activities only to the extent that the former are payable to a lender affiliated with the manufacturer from which we purchased the related inventory, while the latter are payable to our 2023 Senior Credit Facility that includes lenders affiliated with the manufacturers and lenders not affiliated with the manufacturers from which we purchased the related inventory. The majority of our floor plan notes are payable to our 2023 Senior Credit Facility, with the exception of floor plan notes payable relating to the financing of new Ford and Lincoln vehicles and certain loaner vehicle programs.

Table of Contents

Floor plan borrowings are required by all vehicle manufacturers for the purchase of new vehicles, and all floor plan lenders require amounts borrowed for the purchase of a vehicle to be repaid within a short time period after the related vehicle is sold. As a result, we believe that it is important to understand the relationship between the cash flows of all of our floor plan notes payable and new vehicle inventory in order to understand our working capital and operating cash flow and to be able to compare our operating cash flow to that of our competitors (i.e., if our competitors have a different mix of trade and non-trade floor plan financing as compared to us). In addition, we include all floor plan borrowings and repayments in our internal operating cash flow forecasts. As a result, we use the non-GAAP measure "Adjusted cash flow provided by operating activities" (defined below) to compare our results to forecasts. We believe that splitting the cash flows of floor plan notes payable between operating activities and financing activities, while all new vehicle inventory activity is included in operating activities, results in significantly different operating cash flows than if all the cash flows of floor plan notes payable were classified together in operating activities.

Adjusted cash flow provided by operating activities includes borrowings and repayments of floor plan notes payable non-trade and used floor plan notes payable borrowing base changes. Adjusted cash flow provided by operating activities may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies and should not be considered in isolation, or as a substitute for analysis of our operating results in accordance with GAAP. In order to compensate for these potential limitations, we also review the related GAAP measures. We believe that the adjustments related to cash flows associated with our used vehicle borrowing base, floor plan offset accounts and the impact of acquisitions and divestitures eliminates cash flow volatility and provides an adjusted operating cash flow metric that best reflects our results of operations and our management of inventory and related financing activities.

We have provided below a reconciliation of cash flow provided by operating activities as if all changes in floor plan notes payable, except for (i) borrowings associated with acquisitions and repayments associated with divestitures and (ii) borrowings and repayments associated with the purchase of used vehicle inventory and (iii) changes in the floor plan offset accounts were classified as an operating activity for both floor plan notes payable - non-trade and floor plan notes payable - trade.

Change in Floor Plan Notes Payable—Non-Trade associated with floor plan offset, used vehicle borrowing base changes adjusted for acquisition and divestitures	170.7		171.8
Change in Floor Plan Notes Payable—Trade associated with floor plan offset, adjusted for acquisition and divestitures	148.7		27.6
Adjusted cash flow provided by operating activities	$	402.0	$	418.3

Operating Activities—

Net cash provided by operating activities totaled $22.7 million and $221.7 million, for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Adjusted cash flow provided by operating activities totaled $402.0 million and $418.3 million, for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Adjusted cash flow provided by operating activities includes net income, adjustments to reconcile net income to net cash provided by operating activities, changes in working capital, changes in used vehicle borrowing base, changes in floor plan notes payable—non-trade and trade, excluding the impact of offsets, and excluding operating cash flows associated with acquisitions and divestitures related to loaner vehicles and new vehicle inventories financed through floor plan notes payable—trade.

The $16.3 million decrease in adjusted cash flow provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2023, was primarily the result of the following:

•decrease of $34.0 million in net income and non-cash adjustments to net income;

•decrease of $59.0 million in inventory, net of floor plan notes payable, including both trade and non-trade, excluding offset and including used vehicle borrowing base changes adjusted for acquisitions and divestitures; and

•decrease of $19.5 million in other current assets, net.

The decrease in our adjusted cash flow provided by operating activities was partially offset by:

Table of Contents

•$71.3 million increase related to accounts payable and accrued liabilities;

•$15.7 million increase related to other long term assets and liabilities, net; and

•$9.7 million increase related to sales volume and the timing of collection of accounts receivable and contracts-in-transit during 2024 as compared to 2023.

Due to the CDK outage in June 2024, our accounts payable and floor plan payable balances were higher than expected as of June 30, 2024 since certain amounts that would have typically been paid in June 2024 were not paid until July 2024.

Investing Activities—

Net cash used in investing activities totaled $18.0 million and $62.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Capital expenditures, excluding the purchase of real estate, were $65.4 million and $40.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

During the six months ended June 30, 2024, we acquired real estate properties for $67.4 million and also purchased previously leased real estate properties for $11.9 million.

During the six months ended June 30, 2024, we sold one franchise (one dealership location) in Wilmington, Delaware, one franchise (one dealership location) in Denver, Colorado and one franchise (one dealership location) in Atlanta, Georgia for an aggregate purchase price of $149.3 million.

We purchased $39.4 million and $124.2 million of debt securities during the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

We received proceeds of $21.5 million and $17.7 million from the sale of debt securities during the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. We also received proceeds of $51.8 million from the sale of equity securities during the six months ended June 30, 2023.

We expect that capital expenditures during 2024 will total approximately $200.0 - $225.0 million to upgrade or replace our existing facilities, construct new facilities, expand our service capacity, and invest in technology and equipment. In addition, as part of our capital allocation strategy, we continually evaluate opportunities to purchase properties currently under lease and acquire properties in connection with future dealership relocations. No assurances can be provided that we will have or be able to access capital at times or on terms in amounts deemed necessary to execute this strategy.

Financing Activities—

Net cash used in financing activities totaled $16.7 million and $316.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

During the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, we had non-trade floor plan borrowings, excluding floor plan borrowings associated with acquisitions, of $4.83 billion and $3.72 billion, respectively, and non-trade floor plan repayments, excluding floor plan repayments associated with divestitures, of $5.08 billion and $3.72 billion, respectively.

During the six months ended June 30, 2024, we had $26.1 million non-trade floor plan repayments associated with divestitures.

Repayments of borrowings totaled $37.6 million and $82.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

There were $1,013.5 million borrowings and $582.8 million repayments under our Revolving Credit Facility during the six months ended June 30, 2024.

During the six months ended June 30, 2024, we repurchased 432,389 shares of our common stock under our Repurchase Program for a total of $93.2 million. In addition, we repurchased 45,661 shares of our common stock for $9.9 million from employees in connection with a net share settlement feature of employee equity-based awards. During the six months ended June 30, 2023, we repurchased 1,070,126 shares of our common stock under our Repurchase Program for a total of $220.3 million and repurchased 45,992 shares of our common stock for $11.0 million from employees in connection with a net share settlement feature of employee equity-based awards.

Guarantor Financial Information

As of June 30, 2024, the Company had outstanding $405.0 million of 4.500% Senior Notes due 2028 and $445.0 million of 4.750% Senior Notes due 2030. The Senior Notes have been fully and unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, on a senior unsecured basis, by each existing and future restricted subsidiary of the Company (the “Guarantor Subsidiaries”), with the exception of Landcar Administration Company, Landcar Agency, Inc. and Landcar Casualty Company and their respective subsidiaries (collectively, the “TCA Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries"). The 2028 Notes and the 2030 Notes were required to be registered under the Securities Act of 1933 within 270 days of the closing date for the offering of each respective series. The Company completed the registration of the 2028 Notes and 2030 Notes in October 2020.

The following tables present summarized financial information for the Company and the Guarantor Subsidiaries on a combined basis after elimination of (i) intercompany transactions and balances among Asbury and the Guarantor Subsidiaries and (ii) assets, liabilities, and equity in earnings from and investments in any non-guarantor subsidiaries.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Interest Rate Risk

We are exposed to risk from changes in interest rates on a portion of our outstanding indebtedness. Based on $1.85 billion of total variable interest rate debt outstanding as of June 30, 2024 which includes our floor plan notes payable, amounts drawn on our used vehicle floor plan, and certain mortgage liabilities, net of interest rate swaps, a 100 basis point change in interest rates could result in a change of as much as $18.5 million to our total annual interest expense in our condensed consolidated statements of income.

We periodically receive floor plan assistance from certain automobile manufacturers, which is accounted for primarily as a reduction in our new vehicle inventory cost. Floor plan assistance reduced our cost of sales for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 by $46.3 million and $43.4 million, respectively. We cannot provide assurance as to the future amount of floor plan assistance and these amounts may be negatively impacted due to future changes in interest rates.

As part of our strategy to mitigate our exposure to fluctuations in interest rates, we have various interest rate swap agreements. All of our interest rate swaps qualify for cash flow hedge accounting treatment and do not contain any ineffectiveness.

We currently have six interest rate swap agreements. Each of these swaps were designed to provide a hedge against changes in variable rate cash flows regarding fluctuations in the SOFR rate. The following table provides information on the attributes of each swap as of June 30, 2024:


Inception Date	Notional Principal at Inception		Notional Value		Notional Principal at Maturity		Maturity Date
	(In millions)		(In millions)		(In millions)
January 2022	$	300.0	$	266.3	$	228.8	December 2026

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of the end of the period covered by this report, we conducted an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act"). Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2024.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

During the quarter ended June 30, 2024, as part of our integration activities following the acquisition of the Jim Koons Dealerships (“Koons”) in December 2023, we implemented changes related to Koons’ business process controls, IT general controls and IT infrastructure to more closely align with the standards of the Company’s controls environment. In accordance with our integration efforts, we plan to incorporate Koons’ operations into our internal control over financial reporting program within the time provided by the applicable rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

There were no other changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2024 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

Share repurchases are implemented through purchases made from time to time in either the open market or private transactions. The share repurchases could include purchases pursuant to a written trading plan in accordance with Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, which allows companies to repurchase shares of stock at times when they might otherwise be prevented from doing so by securities laws or under self-imposed trading blackout periods. The extent that the Company repurchases its shares, the number of shares and the timing of any repurchases will depend on general market conditions, legal requirements and other corporate considerations. The repurchase program may be modified, suspended or terminated at any time without prior notice.

Information about the shares of our common stock that we repurchased during the quarter ended June 30, 2024 is set forth below:

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES	DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Asbury Automotive Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation organized in 2002, is one of the largest automotive retailers in the United States. Our store operations are conducted by our subsidiaries. As of June 30, 2024, we owned and operated 204 new vehicle franchises (155 dealership locations), representing 31 brands of automobiles, and 37 collision centers in 15 states. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, our new vehicle revenue brand mix consisted of 29% luxury, 41% imports and 29% domestic brands. Our stores offer an extensive range of automotive products and services, including new and used vehicles; parts and service, which includes repair and maintenance services, replacement parts and collision repair services (collectively referred to as "parts and services" or "P&S"); and finance and insurance ("F&I") products, including arranging vehicle financing through third parties and aftermarket products, such as extended service contracts, guaranteed asset protection ("GAP") debt cancellation and prepaid maintenance. The finance and insurance products are provided by independent third parties and Total Care Auto, Powered by Landcar ("TCA"). The Company reflects its operations in two reportable segments: Dealerships and TCA. Basis of Presentation The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"), and reflect the consolidated accounts of Asbury Automotive Group, Inc. (the "Company") and our wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. If necessary, reclassifications of amounts previously reported have been made to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements in order to conform to current presentation. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting only of normal, recurring adjustments, considered necessary for a fair statement of the condensed consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2024, and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, have been included, unless otherwise indicated. Amounts presented in the condensed consolidated financial statements have been calculated using non-rounded amounts for all periods presented and therefore certain amounts may not compute. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any other interim period, or any full year period. Our condensed consolidated financial statements should be read together with our audited consolidated financial statements contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods presented. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates. Estimates and assumptions are reviewed quarterly and the effects of any revisions are reflected in the consolidated financial statements in the period they are determined to be necessary. Estimates made in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include, but are not limited to, those relating to inventory valuation reserves, reserves for chargebacks against revenue recognized from the sale of F&I products, reserves for self-insurance programs, and certain assumptions related to goodwill and dealership franchise rights intangible assets. Share Repurchases Share repurchases may be made from time-to-time in open market transactions or through privately negotiated transactions under the authorization approved by the Board of Directors. Periodically, the Company may retire repurchased shares of common stock previously held by the Company as treasury stock. In accordance with our accounting policy, we allocate any excess share repurchase price over par value between additional paid-in capital, which is limited to amounts initially recorded for the same issue, and retained earnings. During the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company repurchased 192,599 and 959,803 shares and retired 192,599 and 959,803 shares, of our common stock under our share repurchase program, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company repurchased 432,389 and 1,070,126 shares and retired 432,389 and 1,124,330, shares, of our common stock under our share repurchase program, respectively. The cash paid for these share repurchases was $93.2 million and $210.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. On May 15, 2024, the Company announced that its Board of Directors approved an increase of $256.2 million in the Company's common share repurchase authorization to $400.0 million (the "New Share Repurchase Authorization"). As of June 30, 2024, the Company had $365.6 million remaining on its share repurchase authorization. The share repurchase authorization does not require the Company to repurchase any specific number of shares, and may be modified, suspended or terminated at any time without further notice. Earnings per Share Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average common shares and common share equivalents outstanding during the period. The Company excluded 145 and 714 restricted share units issued under the Asbury Automotive Group, Inc. 2019 Equity and Incentive Compensation Plan from its computation of diluted earnings per share for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The Company did not exclude any performance share units issued under the Asbury Automotive Group, Inc. 2019 Equity and Incentive Compensation Plan from its computation of diluted earnings per share for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023. During the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company excluded 2,865 and 3,947 restricted share units and 23 and 0 performance share units issued under the Asbury Automotive Group, Inc. 2019 Equity and Incentive Compensation Plan from its computation of diluted earnings per share, respectively, because they were anti-dilutive. For all periods presented, there were no adjustments to the numerator necessary to compute diluted earnings per share. Recent Accounting Pronouncements The Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued final guidance in ASU 2023-09, Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, in December 2023 which primarily expands the disclosures related to the effective tax rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024 and should be applied prospectively with the option of retrospective application. We are evaluating the impact of this new guidance on our consolidated financial statements. In November 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2023-07, Segment Reporting: Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures ("ASU 2023-07"), which enhances the disclosures primarily around segment expenses. In addition, the amendments expand the scope of quarterly financial reporting by requiring disclosure of both existing annual segment reporting disclosures and the expanded disclosures outlined in ASU 2023-07. The guidance should be applied retrospectively and is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and for interim periods beginning after December 15, 2024. We are evaluating the impact of this new guidance on our consolidated financial statements.

GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE FRANCHISE RIGHTS	Jun. 30, 2024
Goodwill and Intangible Assets Disclosure [Abstract]
GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE FRANCHISE RIGHTS	GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE FRANCHISE RIGHTS Our acquisitions have resulted in the recording of goodwill and intangible franchise rights. Goodwill is an asset representing operational synergies and future economic benefits arising from other assets acquired in a business combination that are not individually identified and separately recognized. Franchise rights are indefinite-lived intangible assets representing our rights under franchise agreements with vehicle manufacturers. Goodwill and intangible franchise rights are tested annually as of October 1st, or more frequently in the event that facts and circumstances indicate a triggering event has occurred. Based on the underperformance of certain stores, limited primarily to one brand, we performed quantitative impairment tests of franchise rights for certain stores in our Dealerships segment in the second quarter of 2024. The quantitative impairment tests for franchise rights included a comparison of the estimated fair value to the carrying value of each franchise right asset. The Company estimates fair value by using a discounted cash flow model (income approach) based on market participant assumptions related to the cash flows directly attributable to the franchise. These assumptions include year-over-year and terminal growth rates, weighted average cost of capital, future gross margins, and future selling, general, and administrative expenses. The results of the quantitative impairment testing for certain franchise rights in the second quarter of 2024 identified that the carrying values of certain of our franchise rights intangible assets exceeded their fair value. As a result, we recognized a $134.1 million pre-tax non-cash impairment charge during the three months ended June 30, 2024. The stores with franchise rights impairments in the second quarter of 2024 primarily related to our Arizona and Utah reporting units within our Dealerships segment. Therefore, we performed quantitative impairment assessments of goodwill for these two reporting units in the second quarter of 2024. The results of our quantitative assessments indicated that the carrying value of goodwill related to the Arizona and Utah reporting units did not exceed their fair value. We also recorded a goodwill impairment charge of $1.3 million during the three months ended June 30, 2024 related to one dealership that met the assets held for sale criteria in June 2024. The quantitative impairment test of the disposal group included a comparison of the estimated fair value to the carrying value of the disposal group less cost to sell.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES	Jun. 30, 2024
Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES	COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES On August 3, 2022, we received a Civil Investigative Demand (“CID”) from the FTC requesting information and documents concerning the Company’s corporate structure and operation of six of its dealerships. We responded to the CID by producing information and documents for the period August 1, 2019 to April 24, 2023. On February 8, 2024, the FTC staff counsel sent to us a proposed consent order and draft complaint, alleging that the Company and three of our dealerships had violated Section 5 of the Federal Trade Commission Act (“FTC Act”) and certain provisions of the Equal Credit Opportunity Act (“ECOA”) in connection with the sale of add-on products (e.g., vehicle service contracts, maintenance plans, etc.), and advising that it would recommend the filing of an enforcement action if the Company did not settle the FTC’s claims. The Company disputes the FTC’s allegations that it violated the FTC Act and the ECOA, and is currently involved in discussions with the FTC staff regarding the matter. There can be no assurance that negotiations between us and the FTC for a favorable settlement will be successful, or that we will succeed in any litigation as a result of the investigation. At this time, we are unable to reasonably predict the possible outcome of this matter, or provide a reasonably possible range of loss, if any, as a result of the investigation. If the FTC files a suit against us based on these allegations, whether meritorious or not, it may adversely affect our ability to attract customers, result in the loss of existing customers, harm our reputation and cause us to incur defense costs and other expenses. Our dealerships are party to dealer and framework agreements with applicable vehicle manufacturers. In accordance with these agreements, each dealership has certain rights and is subject to restrictions typical in the industry. The ability of these manufacturers to influence the operations of the dealerships or the loss of any of these agreements could have a materially negative impact on our operating results. In some instances, manufacturers may have the right, and may direct us, to implement costly capital improvements to dealerships as a condition to entering into, renewing, or extending franchise agreements with them. Manufacturers also typically require that their franchises meet specific standards of appearance. These factors, either alone or in combination, could cause us to use our financial resources on capital projects for which we might not have planned or otherwise determined to undertake. From time-to-time, we and our dealerships are or may become involved in various claims relating to, and arising out of, our business and our operations. These claims may involve, but not be limited to, financial and other audits by vehicle manufacturers or lenders and certain federal, state, and local government authorities, which have historically related primarily to (i) incentive and warranty payments received from vehicle manufacturers, or allegations of violations of manufacturer agreements or policies, (ii) compliance with lender rules and covenants, and (iii) payments made to government authorities relating to federal, state, and local taxes, as well as compliance with other government regulations. Claims may also arise through litigation, government proceedings, and other dispute resolution processes. Such claims, including class actions, could relate to, but may not be limited to, the practice of charging administrative fees and other fees and commissions, employment-related matters, truth-in-lending and other dealer assisted financing obligations, contractual disputes, actions brought by governmental authorities, and other matters. We evaluate pending and threatened claims and establish loss contingency reserves based upon outcomes we currently believe to be probable and reasonably estimable. Based on our review of the various types of claims currently known to us, there is no indication of material reasonably possible losses in excess of amounts accrued in the aggregate. We currently do not anticipate that any known claim will materially adversely affect our financial condition, liquidity, or results of operations. However, the outcome of any matter cannot be predicted with certainty, and an unfavorable resolution of one or more matters presently known or arising in the future could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, liquidity, or results of operations. A significant portion of our business involves the sale of vehicles, parts, or vehicles composed of parts that are manufactured outside the United States. As a result, our operations are subject to customary risks of importing merchandise, including fluctuations in the relative values of currencies, import duties, exchange controls, trade restrictions, work stoppages, and general political and socio-economic conditions in foreign countries. The United States or the countries from which our products are imported may, from time-to-time, impose new quotas, duties, tariffs, or other restrictions, or adjust presently prevailing quotas, duties, or tariffs, which may affect our operations, and our ability to purchase imported vehicles and/or parts at reasonable prices. Substantially all of our facilities are subject to federal, state and local provisions regarding the discharge of materials into the environment. Compliance with these provisions has not had, nor do we expect such compliance to have, any material effect upon our capital expenditures, net earnings, financial condition, liquidity or competitive position. We believe that our current practices and procedures for the control and disposition of such materials comply with applicable federal, state, and local requirements. No assurances can be provided, however, that future laws or regulations, or changes in existing laws or regulations, would not require us to expend significant resources in order to comply therewith. We had $13.3 million of letters of credit outstanding as of June 30, 2024, which are required by certain of our insurance providers. In addition, as of June 30, 2024, we maintained a $21.3 million surety bond line in the ordinary course of our business. Our letters of credit and surety bond line are considered to be off balance sheet arrangements.

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Policies)	6 Months Ended
	Jun. 30, 2024
Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation	Basis of Presentation The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"), and reflect the consolidated accounts of Asbury Automotive Group, Inc. (the "Company") and our wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. If necessary, reclassifications of amounts previously reported have been made to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements in order to conform to current presentation. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting only of normal, recurring adjustments, considered necessary for a fair statement of the condensed consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2024, and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, have been included, unless otherwise indicated. Amounts presented in the condensed consolidated financial statements have been calculated using non-rounded amounts for all periods presented and therefore certain amounts may not compute. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any other interim period, or any full year period. Our condensed consolidated financial statements should be read together with our audited consolidated financial statements contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.
Use of Estimates	Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods presented. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates. Estimates and assumptions are reviewed quarterly and the effects of any revisions are reflected in the consolidated financial statements in the period they are determined to be necessary. Estimates made in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include, but are not limited to, those relating to inventory valuation reserves, reserves for chargebacks against revenue recognized from the sale of F&I products, reserves for self-insurance programs, and certain assumptions related to goodwill and dealership franchise rights intangible assets.
Share Repurchases	Share Repurchases Share repurchases may be made from time-to-time in open market transactions or through privately negotiated transactions under the authorization approved by the Board of Directors. Periodically, the Company may retire repurchased shares of common stock previously held by the Company as treasury stock. In accordance with our accounting policy, we allocate any excess share repurchase price over par value between additional paid-in capital, which is limited to amounts initially recorded for the same issue, and retained earnings. During the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company repurchased 192,599 and 959,803 shares and retired 192,599 and 959,803 shares, of our common stock under our share repurchase program, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company repurchased 432,389 and 1,070,126 shares and retired 432,389 and 1,124,330, shares, of our common stock under our share repurchase program, respectively. The cash paid for these share repurchases was $93.2 million and $210.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. On May 15, 2024, the Company announced that its Board of Directors approved an increase of $256.2 million in the Company's common share repurchase authorization to $400.0 million (the "New Share Repurchase Authorization"). As of June 30, 2024, the Company had $365.6 million remaining on its share repurchase authorization. The share repurchase authorization does not require the Company to repurchase any specific number of shares, and may be modified, suspended or terminated at any time without further notice.
Earnings per Share	Earnings per Share Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average common shares and common share equivalents outstanding during the period. The Company excluded 145 and 714 restricted share units issued under the Asbury Automotive Group, Inc. 2019 Equity and Incentive Compensation Plan from its computation of diluted earnings per share for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The Company did not exclude any performance share units issued under the Asbury Automotive Group, Inc. 2019 Equity and Incentive Compensation Plan from its computation of diluted earnings per share for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023. During the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company excluded 2,865 and 3,947 restricted share units and 23 and 0 performance share units issued under the Asbury Automotive Group, Inc. 2019 Equity and Incentive Compensation Plan from its computation of diluted earnings per share, respectively, because they were anti-dilutive. For all periods presented, there were no adjustments to the numerator necessary to compute diluted earnings per share.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements	Recent Accounting Pronouncements The Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued final guidance in ASU 2023-09, Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, in December 2023 which primarily expands the disclosures related to the effective tax rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024 and should be applied prospectively with the option of retrospective application. We are evaluating the impact of this new guidance on our consolidated financial statements. In November 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2023-07, Segment Reporting: Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures ("ASU 2023-07"), which enhances the disclosures primarily around segment expenses. In addition, the amendments expand the scope of quarterly financial reporting by requiring disclosure of both existing annual segment reporting disclosures and the expanded disclosures outlined in ASU 2023-07. The guidance should be applied retrospectively and is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and for interim periods beginning after December 15, 2024. We are evaluating the impact of this new guidance on our consolidated financial statements.
