On July 4, 2025, H.R. 1, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”), was signed into law. For the automotive industry, the bill provides consumers with a tax deduction for the interest on loans for certain U.S.-assembled vehicles. The bill also eliminates federal Electric Vehicle (“EV”) tax credits for vehicles purchased or leased after September 30, 2025. Additionally, the OBBBA reinstates 100% bonus depreciation for qualified property placed in service after January 19, 2025. This provision allows for immediate expensing for income tax purposes of the full cost of eligible tangible assets, including certain machinery, equipment and building improvements. The impact of the OBBBA on our results of operations cannot be predicted with certainty at this time.

On June 16, 2025, President Donald Trump signed an executive order Implementing the General Terms of the United States of America-United Kingdom Economic Prosperity Deal. This executive order, effective June 23, 2025, operationalizes a landmark trade agreement between the U.S. and the U.K., first announced on May 8, 2025, aimed at enhancing bilateral trade and addressing national security concerns. The order’s key provisions related to the automotive trade include (i) an annual quota allowing 100,000 U.K.-made vehicles to enter the U.S. at a reduced 10 percent tariff (7.5 percent plus 2.5 percent most-favored-nation rate); (ii) any additional imported vehicles each year will be subject to the standard 25 percent tariff rate; and (iii) automotive parts that are products of the U.K. and are for use in U.K.-made vehicles will be subject to a total tariff rate of 10 percent.
Current report
The U.K. government has established mandated targets for the sale of new zero emissions vehicles with increasing targets in future years. On April 6, 2025, the U.K. Prime Minister announced planned changes to the EV mandate, which aim to allow carmakers more flexibility in reaching their goal to phase out internal combustion engine vehicles. The plan increases flexibility of the mandate through 2030, allowing more EV’s to be sold in later years as demand increases. Further, the plan allows for the continued sale of hybrid vehicles, which can be operated by both internal combustion and batteries, through 2035 to help ease the transition. Beginning July 16, 2025, U.K. car manufacturers can apply for Electric Car Grants, which will discount eligible new EV’s for consumers at the point of sale. Additionally, on June 12, 2025, President Donald Trump signed resolutions revoking California’s authority to enforce regulations it set forth, including Advanced Clean Cars II (“ACC”), which imposes stricter emissions limits for vehicles and implements a ban on the sale of new gas-powered cars by 2035. California and ten other states set to implement ACC-like rules have sued the Environmental Protection Agency and President Donald Trump and are seeking to enjoin the resolutions. The impact of these changes on our vehicle mix and results of operations cannot be predicted with certainty at this time.
Current report
On April 2, 2025, President Donald Trump signed an executive order setting a 10 percent baseline tariff on imports, with higher rates for countries running trade surpluses with the U.S. By April 9, 2025, a follow-up order paused most of the higher reciprocal tariffs for 90 days but kept the 10 percent baseline and raised Chinese tariffs. Throughout the three months ended June 30, 2025 (“Current Quarter”), the U.S and China continued to negotiate the temporary reciprocal lowering of tariffs. On July 7, 2025, President Donald Trump extended the tariff modifications through August 1, 2025.
Current report
We continue to monitor the uncertain macroeconomic and industry conditions in the U.K., including the impact of the tariff agreement between the U.S. and the U.K. outlined above. Although the effect of the macroeconomic environment on our results of operations cannot be predicted with certainty, future negative impacts may require us to assess the goodwill and intangible franchise rights associated with our U.K. reporting unit for impairment, which could result in material impairment charges in future periods.

Previous wording
On March 26, 2025, President Donald Trump signed a proclamation invoking Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962 to impose a 25 percent tariff on imported automobiles and certain automobile parts. The 25 percent tariff on automobiles took effect on April 3, 2025, with the 25 percent tariff on automobile parts to begin no later than May 3, 2025. The 25 percent tariff will be applied to imported passenger vehicles (sedans, SUVs, crossovers, minivans, cargo vans) and light trucks, as well as key automobile parts (engines, transmissions, powertrain parts and electrical components), with processes to expand tariffs on additional parts if necessary. Importers of automobiles under the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (“USMCA”) will be given the opportunity to certify the value of the automobile attributable to parts wholly obtained, produced entirely, or substantially transformed in the United States (“U.S. content”) and systems will be implemented such that the 25 percent tariff will only apply to the value of their non-U.S. content. USMCA-compliant automobile parts will remain tariff-free until the Secretary of Commerce, in consultation with U.S. Customs and Border Protection, establishes a process to apply tariffs to their non-U.S. content.

Previous wording
While the possibility exists for delays, reductions, or exemptions of the automotive and reciprocal tariffs, the potential impacts of the tariffs described above, as well as the reaction of the OEMs to such tariffs, remain uncertain and could significantly increase the price of our products as well as the future mix and demand for vehicles provided by our manufacturers. Additionally, reciprocal tariffs, tariffs on steel and aluminum and the elevated tariffs against China and other countries could negatively impact the global economy, demand for our products and our manufacturers’ global supply chains. Our manufacturers’ supply chain dependencies and production facility locations vary by OEM, and as a result, certain manufacturers, vehicle models, vehicle model variations and parts could be affected more significantly by the imposition of tariffs than others. We will continue to monitor the impact of the Trump Administration’s policies and the response of U.S. trading partners on our results of operations in future periods.
