Asbury Automotive Group Earnings Call Transcript Summary of Q1 2026
Asbury reported Q1 2026 revenue of $4.1 billion, gross profit of $727 million (17.7% margin), adjusted EBITDA of $207 million and adjusted EPS of $5.37. Management emphasized a multi-quarter Tekion DMS rollout (over 50% of stores live; full conversion expected by fall) that is driving short-term disruption and elevated costs but is expected to deliver material efficiency and cost benefits once complete. Q1 was impacted by severe winter weather and Tekion transition friction, which management estimates reduced gross profit and EPS (weather ~ $19 million GP and ~$0.56 EPS; Tekion/TCA noncash deferral ~$0.26 EPS). Operationally, new-vehicle volumes declined as expected; new gross profit per vehicle held up relatively well (~$3,371 all-store), used vehicle profitability improved (used retail GPU $1,828, up sequentially and year-over-year), and parts & service faced short-term softness but management expects mid-single-digit growth over time. Capital allocation: Asbury divested 10 dealerships (~$600M–$625M annualized revenue), used proceeds to reduce debt and repurchased 678,000 shares ($147M), and ended Q1 with ~$1.2B liquidity and transaction-adjusted net leverage ~3.2x. Management reiterated confidence in Tekion's long-term benefits, a mid-60s adjusted SG&A-to-gross-profit target (with improvement as Tekion efficiencies arrive), planned CapEx of ~ $250M in both 2026 and 2027, and willingness to opportunistically buy back stock when prices are attractive.
