The standard will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, and interim periods for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2025. We have implemented the provisions of ASU 2023-09. See Note 7, &#x201c;Income Taxes,&#x201d; to the consolidated financial statements in Sonic&#x2019;s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 for the additional disclosures required by ASC Topic 740. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom:9pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:27pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, &#x201c;Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40)&#x201d;. The amendments require the disclosure of specified information about certain costs and expenses including purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, intangible asset amortization, and depreciation, depletion, and amortization recognized as part of oil and gas producing activities. It also requires the disclosure of a qualitative description of the amounts remaining in relevant expense captions that are not separately disaggregated quantitatively as well as the total amount of selling expenses and, in annual reporting periods, an entity&#x2019;s definition of selling expenses. The standard will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027.

The bill contains a range of tax reforms affecting businesses, including the immediate expensing of research and development expenditures, 100% bonus depreciation on qualified property, and various other provisions effective in tax years 2026 through 2029. After evaluating the OBBBA&#x2019;s provisions, we have determined that the impact of these changes on our consolidated financial statements for the current reporting period is immaterial. Provisions taking effect in 2026 will affect the deductibility of executive compensation and charitable contributions and will contribute to a higher overall income tax rate. We will continue to monitor future guidance and assess any additional implications for subsequent periods.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</us-gaap:UnusualRisksAndUncertaintiesTextBlock>

We do not include the cost of obtaining contracts within the related revenue streams since we elected the practical expedient to expense the costs to obtain a contract when incurred.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-indent:36pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;Management has evaluated our established business processes, revenue transaction streams and accounting policies, and identified our material revenue streams to be: (1) the sale of new vehicles; (2) the sale of used vehicles to retail customers; (3) the sale of wholesale used vehicles at third-party auctions; (4) the arrangement of third-party vehicle financing and the sale of third-party service, warranty and other insurance contracts; and (5) the performance of vehicle maintenance and repair services and the sale of related parts and accessories. The transaction price for a retail vehicle sale is specified in the contract with the customer and encompasses both cash and non-cash considerations. In the context of a retail vehicle sale, customers frequently trade in their existing vehicles. The value of this trade-in is determined based on its stand-alone selling price as specified in the contract, utilizing various third-party pricing sources. There are no other non-cash forms of consideration associated with retail sales, and sales are reported net of sales tax and other similar assets. Generally, performance obligations are satisfied when the associated vehicle is either delivered to a customer and customer acceptance has occurred, over time as the maintenance and repair services are performed, or at the time of wholesale and retail parts sales. We do not have any revenue streams with significant financing components as payments are typically received within a short period of time following completion of the performance obligation(s).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-indent:36pt"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-indent:36pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;Retrospective finance and insurance revenues (&#x201c;F&amp;amp;I retro revenues&#x201d;) are recognized when the product contract has been executed with the end customer and the transaction price is estimated each reporting period based on the expected value method using historical and projected data. F&amp;amp;I retro revenues can vary based on a variety of factors, including number of contracts and history of cancellations and claims. Accordingly, we utilize this historical and projected data to constrain the consideration to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-indent:36pt"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-indent:36pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;We record revenue when vehicles are delivered to customers, as vehicle service work is performed and when parts are delivered.

respectively, and in the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 capital expenditures were approximately $34.1 million and $79.1 million, respectively. Capital expenditures in all periods were primarily related to construction of new franchised dealerships and powersports stores, and building improvements and equipment purchased for use in our franchised dealerships, EchoPark and powersports stores. Certain capital expenditures are recognized in the Franchised Dealerships Segment to better monitor project development costs prior to transferring the capitalized asset balance to the appropriate entity or operating segment upon project completion. Assets held for sale as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025 consisted of real property not currently used in operations that we expect to dispose of in the next 12 months.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Fixed asset impairment charges for the six months ended June 30, 2026 were approximately $0.4 million, which was related to the impairment of a construction project that was canceled. Fixed asset impairment charges for the six months ended June 30, 2025 were approximately $0.2 million, which was related to property held for sale.</us-gaap:PropertyPlantAndEquipmentDisclosureTextBlock>

The ASC also states that if an entity determines, based on an assessment of certain qualitative factors, that it is not more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, then a quantitative goodwill impairment test is unnecessary. We evaluated our Franchised Dealership Segment reporting unit on a qualitative basis as substantial cushion existed between the calculated fair value and associated carrying values in the prior year evaluation and there were not any meaningful events or trends which would significantly erode this cushion. We evaluated our Powersports Segment reporting unit on a quantitative basis.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:justify;text-indent:27pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;In performing the quantitative test in the Powersports Segment reporting unit for impairment of goodwill, we primarily used the income approach method of valuation that includes the discounted cash flow (&#x201c;DCF&#x201d;) method that utilizes inputs, including projected revenues, margin, terminal growth rates, discount rates and a market capitalization reconciliation.

The Credit Facilities are guaranteed by the Company and certain of its subsidiaries and are secured by a pledge of substantially all of the guarantors&#x2019; assets subject to certain exceptions, including floor plan agreements with various manufacturer-affiliated captive finance companies.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-indent:27pt"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom:9pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:27pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;On March&#160;13, 2024, we amended and restated our Credit Agreement (the &#x201c;Sixth Credit Facility Amendment&#x201d;) to extend the maturity date to March&#160;13, 2029, with an optional one-year extension. The Sixth Credit Facility Amendment currently includes aggregate commitments of $2.4 billion as well as an accordion feature allowing for an increase in future commitments of up to $450.0 million allocated between the three facilities on a pro rata basis. Under the Sixth Credit Facility Amendment, the Revolving Credit Facility commitment can neither be reduced below $50.0 million nor consist of more than 40% of the aggregate commitments under the Credit Facilities.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom:9pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:27pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;In addition, the Sixth Credit Facility Amendment increased the basket for unrestricted quarterly dividends from $0.12 to $0.18 per share of qualified capital stock, provided additional flexibility for the Company to make asset sales and repurchases of its qualified capital stock, removed the consolidated liquidity ratio covenant, and clarified that &#x201c;Adjusted Term SOFR&#x201d; (as defined in the Credit Agreement) is inclusive of a 10 basis point credit spread adjustment. Amounts outstanding under the Credit Facilities bear interest at Adjusted Term SOFR plus credit spreads indicated by our Consolidated Total Lease Adjusted Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement). &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom:9pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:27pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;As of June 30, 2026, the aggregate commitments consisted of $1.5 billion for the new vehicle floor plan, $550.0 million for the used vehicle floor plan and $350.0 million for the Revolving Credit Facility. Availability under the Revolving Credit Facility is calculated as the lesser of the $350.0 million commitment or a borrowing base collateralized by eligible assets, less any outstanding letters of credit and borrowings. As of June 30, 2026, the Revolving Borrowing Base was $298.5 million and we had $11.6 million in outstanding letters of credit and no borrowings, resulting in $286.9 million of availability.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</sah:A2016CreditFacilitiesTextBlock>

Sonic&#x2019;s chief operating decision maker is a group of three individuals consisting of: (1) the Company&#x2019;s Chief Executive Officer; (2) the Company&#x2019;s President; and (3) the Company&#x2019;s Chief Financial Officer. The chief operating decision makers evaluate segment performance and allocate resources using metrics such as segment gross profit and segment income. These segment profit metrics are consistent across all segments and align with the way we measure profit on a consolidated basis. The accounting policies applied to segments follow those for the Company as a whole.</us-gaap:SegmentReportingDisclosureTextBlock>
