Segment Reporting [Abstract]  
Segment Information SEGMENT INFORMATION
At June 30, 2026, we had four reportable segments: (1) Domestic, (2) Import, (3) Premium Luxury, and (4) AutoNation Finance. Our Domestic segment is comprised of retail automotive franchises that sell new vehicles manufactured by Ford, General Motors, and Stellantis. Our Import segment is primarily comprised of retail automotive franchises that sell new vehicles manufactured by Toyota, Honda, Hyundai, and Subaru. Our Premium Luxury segment is primarily comprised of retail automotive franchises that sell new vehicles manufactured by Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Lexus, Audi, and Jaguar Land Rover. The franchises in each of our Domestic, Import, and Premium Luxury segments also sell used vehicles, parts and automotive services, and automotive finance and insurance products. Our AutoNation Finance segment is comprised of our captive auto finance company, which provides indirect financing to qualified retail customers on vehicles we sell.
“Corporate and other” is comprised of our non-franchised businesses, including AutoNation USA stores, collision centers, parts distribution centers, and auction operations, all of which generate revenues but do not meet the quantitative thresholds for reportable segments, as well as unallocated corporate overhead expenses, goodwill and franchise right impairments, and other income items.
The reportable segments identified above are the business activities of the Company for which discrete financial information is available and for which operating results are regularly reviewed by our chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) to allocate resources and assess performance. Our CODM for each of our reportable segments is our Chief
Executive Officer. For the Domestic, Import, and Premium Luxury segments, our CODM uses Franchised Dealerships - Segment Income (defined as operating income less floorplan expense) to allocate resources to each of these segments during our annual budgeting process. Our CODM evaluates Franchised Dealerships - Segment Income actual results versus budget and prior year on a monthly basis when making decisions about allocating resources to these segments and whether to reinvest profits into each of these segments or into other parts of the Company, such as for acquisitions, strategic initiatives, or share repurchases. Our CODM also uses Franchised Dealerships - Segment Income to assess the underlying operating performance of each of these segments by comparing the results and return on investment for each of these segments.
Our CODM uses AutoNation Finance Income to allocate capital resources to the AutoNation Finance segment in our annual budgeting process and uses that measure as a basis to evaluate the underlying operating performance of this segment by monitoring the margin between interest revenue and interest expense, credit program tier distribution, portfolio quality, and the overall performance of the loan portfolio for the segment.
The following tables provide segment revenues and segment expenses that align with the segment-level information that is regularly provided to our CODM:
