NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

  1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND CONSOLIDATION AND ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation and Consolidation

The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto, have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP for interim financial information and in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. Results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that can be expected for a full year and therefore should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited Financial Statements and notes thereto included within the Company’s 2025 Form 10-K. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements reflect the consolidated accounts of the parent company, Group 1 Automotive, Inc. and its subsidiaries, all of which are wholly owned.

Discontinued operations presented in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements relate to the Company’s Brazilian operations which were disposed of in 2022. Unless otherwise specified, disclosures in these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements reflect continuing operations only.

Certain amounts in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and the accompanying notes may not compute due to rounding. All computations have been calculated using unrounded amounts for all periods presented. These Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements reflect, in the opinion of management, all normal recurring adjustments necessary to fairly state, in all material respects, the Company’s financial position and results of operations for the periods presented.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the Company’s financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the balance sheet date and the amounts of revenues and expenses recognized during the reporting period. Management analyzes the Company’s estimates based on historical experience and other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, however, actual results could differ materially from such estimates. The significant estimates made by management in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include, but are not limited to, inventory valuation adjustments, reserves for future chargebacks on finance, insurance and vehicle service contract fees, self-insured property and casualty insurance exposure, the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in business combinations, the valuation of goodwill and intangible franchise rights and reserves for potential litigation.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In November 2024, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement — Reporting Comprehensive Income — Expense Disaggregation Disclosures. The ASU requires that an entity disclose additional information about specific expense categories in the notes to financial statements. The standard will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of the provisions of the ASU will have on its consolidated financial statements and expects the adoption to result in additional disclosures regarding certain costs and expenses including purchases of inventory, employee compensation and depreciation, among other potential disclosure impacts.

In November 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-09, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Hedge Accounting Improvements. The ASU is intended to simplify and clarify hedge accounting under Accounting Standards Codification 815 and improves the alignment of hedge results with risk-management activities. The standard will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within those annual reporting periods. The Company does not expect that the adoption of the provisions of the ASU will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

The Company adopted ASU 2025-05, Financial Instruments — Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets, on a prospective basis effective January 1, 2026. The adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

The Company adopted ASU 2025-06, Intangibles — Goodwill and Other — Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software, on a prospective basis effective January 1, 2026. The adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

  1. ACQUISITIONS AND DISPOSITIONS

The Company accounts for business combinations under the acquisition method of accounting, wherein the Company allocates the purchase price to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on an estimate of fair value.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2026, the Company acquired four dealerships in the U.S., includingtwo Toyota dealerships andtwo Honda dealerships. Aggregate consideration paid for these dealerships, which were accounted for as business combinations, was$219.0 million. The Company divestedone Honda andone Toyota dealership during the three months ended September 30, 2026, for aggregate proceeds of $90.8 million. Goodwill associated with the retained dealerships totaled $54.4 million.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2026, the Company acquired three dealerships in the U.K., includingtwo Volkswagen dealerships andone Skoda dealership. Aggregate consideration paid for these dealerships, which were accounted for as business combinations, was $0.6 million. There wasno goodwill associated with the acquisitions.

The purchase price allocation for these acquisitions is preliminary and subject to change as the Company’s fair value assessments are finalized. The Company is continuing to analyze and assess relevant information related to the valuation of certain assets and liabilities, including, but not limited to, the valuation of property, equipment, intangible assets and deferred income taxes. The Company will reflect any required fair value adjustments in subsequent periods.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company acquired four dealerships in the U.S., includingone Lexus dealership, one Acura dealership andtwo Mercedes-Benz dealerships. Aggregate consideration paid for these dealerships, which were accounted for as business combinations, was $531.7 million. Goodwill associated with the acquisitions totaled $250.6 million.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company acquired four dealerships in the U.K., including three Toyota dealerships andone Lexus dealership. Aggregate consideration paid for these dealerships, which were accounted for as business combinations, was $16.4 million. Goodwill associated with the acquisitions totaled $2.4 million.

On July 30, 2026, the Company entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement (as amended, the “Purchase Agreement”) to acquire all of the assets (other than certain excluded assets) relating to the operation of 10 automobile dealerships andone collision center located in the Greater Atlanta, Georgia market, together with certain related real estate and leasehold interests (the “Hennessy Acquisition”). On October 19, 2026, the Company completed the Hennessy Acquisition. The aggregate consideration paid by the Company was approximately $1.3 billion, subject to customary post-closing adjustments. The Hennessy Acquisition was funded with the net proceeds from the Company’s September 22, 2026 private placement of $625.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 6.250% Senior Notes due February 2032 (“6.250% Senior Notes”) and $625.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 6.625% Senior Notes due February 2035 (“6.625% Senior Notes”), together with cash on hand.

At the closing, $80.0 million of the purchase price was deposited into an indemnity escrow account to secure Hennessy’s post-closing indemnification obligations under the Purchase Agreement, with 25% to be released to Hennessy three months after the closing, an additional 25% to be released nine months after the closing and the remainder to be released 18 months after the closing, in each case subject to pending claims, if any.

The Hennessy Acquisition will be accounted for as a business combination. The Hennessy Acquisition closed just prior to the issuance of these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, thus the initial accounting for the combination, including the allocation of the purchase price to the assets acquired and limited liabilities assumed, the amount of goodwill and the relevant pro forma information was incomplete as of the date of this Form 10-Q. Refer to Note 9. Debt for additional information regarding the 6.250% Senior Notes and 6.625% Senior Notes issuance.

  1. SEGMENT INFORMATION

As of September 30, 2026, the Company hadtwo operating and reportable segments: the U.S. and the U.K. The Company defines its segments as those operations whose results the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, who is the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”), regularly reviews to analyze performance and allocate resources to the U.S. and U.K. geographic areas. Each segment is comprised of retail automotive franchises that sell new and used cars and light trucks; arrange related vehicle financing; sell service and insurance contracts; provide automotive maintenance and repair services; and sell vehicle parts. The CODM predominantly uses the metric of income before income taxes in making decisions about the allocation of operating and capital resources to each segment, evaluating annual budget and forecast, as well as determining compensation for certain employees.

Selected reportable segment data for continuing operations were as follows (in millions). All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

  1. EARNINGS PER SHARE

The two-class method is utilized for the computation of the Company’s EPS. The two-class method requires a portion of net income to be allocated to participating securities, which are unvested awards of share-based payments with non-forfeitable rights to receive dividends that are paid in cash. The Company’s restricted stock awards are participating securities. Income allocated to these participating securities is excluded from net income available to common shares, as shown in the table below. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income available to basic common shares by the weighted average number of basic common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS is computed by dividing net income available to diluted common shares by the weighted average number of dilutive common shares outstanding during the period.

The following table sets forth the calculation of EPS (in millions, except share and per share data):

  1. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Accounting standards define fair value as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the most advantageous market in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Accounting standards establish a fair value hierarchy that requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value and establishes the following three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1 — Quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

Level 2 — Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or model-derived valuations or other inputs that are observable or that can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

Level 3 — Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

Cash and Cash Equivalents, Contracts-In-Transit and Vehicle Receivables, Accounts and Notes Receivable, Accounts Payable, Variable Rate Long-Term Debt and Floorplan Notes Payable

The fair values of these financial instruments approximate their carrying values due to the short-term nature of the instruments and/or the existence of variable interest rates.

Fixed-Rate Long-Term Debt

The Company estimates the fair value of its $750.0 million 4.00% Senior Notes due August 2028 (“4.00% Senior Notes”), the$500.0 million 6.375% Senior Notes due January 2030 (“6.375% Senior Notes”), the 6.250% Senior Notes and the 6.625% Senior Notes using quoted prices for the identical liability (Level 1) and estimates the fair value of its fixed-rate mortgage facilities using a present value method based on current market interest rates for similar types of financial instruments (Level 2). Refer to Note 9. Debt for further discussion of the Company’s long-term debt arrangements.

The carrying value and fair value of the Company’s fixed rate long-term debt were as follows (in millions):

(1)Carrying value excludes unamortized debt issuance costs.

Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company holds interest rate swaps to hedge against variability of interest payments indexed to SOFR. The Company’s interest rate swaps are measured at fair value utilizing a SOFR forward yield curve matched to the identical maturity term of the instrument being measured. Observable inputs utilized in the income approach valuation method incorporate identical contractual notional amounts, fixed coupon rates, periodic terms for interest payments and contract maturity. The fair value of the interest rate swaps also considers the credit risk of the Company for instruments in a liability position or the counterparty for instruments in an asset position. The credit risk is calculated using the spread between the SOFR yield curve and the relevant interest rate according to rating agencies. The inputs to the fair value measurements reflect Level 2 of the hierarchy framework.

Assets associated with the Company’s interest rate swaps, as reflected gross in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, were as follows (in millions):

(2)As of September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the balance included gross fair value of $2.5 million and $2.2 million, respectively, related to the de-designated swaps as described below.

There were no liabilities associated with the Company’s interest rate swaps as of September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025.

Interest Rate Swaps De-designated as Cash Flow Hedges

During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company de-designatedone mortgage interest rate swap due to the Company settling the underlying mortgage associated with the swap during the same period. No interest rate swaps were de-designated during the three months ended September 30, 2026.

The Company reclassified all previously deferred gains associated with the de-designated interest rate swap of $0.6 million, net of tax of $0.2 million, for the three months ended March 31, 2026, from AOCI into income as an adjustment to Other interest expense, net, as the remaining forecasted hedged transactions associated with the interest rate swap were probable of not occurring due to the settlement of the mortgage described above.

As of September 30, 2026, the Company hadtwo de-designated interest rate swaps with a notional value of $42.7 million and a weighted average interest rate of 0.57%. Thede-designated swaps will mature between March 31, 2027 and March 1, 2030.

The Company recorded an unrealized mark-to-market gain of $0.2 million and an unrealized mark-to-market loss of less than $0.1 million and realized gains of $0.3 million and $0.9 million associated with de-designated interest rate swaps within Other interest expense, net, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, respectively. The Company recorded unrealized mark-to-market losses of $0.2 million and $1.1 million and realized gains of $0.2 million and $0.7 million associated with de-designated interest rate swaps within Other interest expense, net, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively.

Interest Rate Swaps Designated as Cash Flow Hedges

Interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges and the related gains or losses are deferred in stockholders’ equity as a component of AOCIin the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The deferred gains or losses are recognized in income in the period in which the related items being hedged are recognized in expense. Monthly contractual settlements of the positions are recognized as Floorplan interest expense or Other interest expense, net, in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Gains or losses for periods where future forecasted hedged transactions are deemed probable of not occurring are reclassified from AOCI into income as Floorplan interest expense or Other interest expense, net.

As of September 30, 2026, the Company held 21 interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges with a total notional value of $653.0 million that fixed its underlying SOFR at a weighted average rate of 1.21%. As of September 30, 2025, the Company held 26 interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges with a total notional value of$856.4 million that fixed its underlying SOFR at a weighted average rate of 1.24%. The maturity dates of the Company’s designated interest rate swaps range between December 1, 2026 and December 31, 2031.

The following tables present the impact of the Company’s interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges (in millions):

The weighted average interest rate on the U.S. Floorplan Line was 5.14% for the nine months ended September 30, 2026, excluding the impact of the Company’s interest rate swap derivative instruments. The Acquisition Line bears interest at SOFR or a SOFR equivalent plus 110 to 210 basis points, depending on the Company’s total adjusted leverage ratio, on borrowings in USD, Euros or GBP. The U.S. Floorplan Line requires a commitment fee of 0.15% per annum on the unused portion. Amounts borrowed by the Company under the U.S. Floorplan Line for specific vehicle inventory are to be repaid upon the sale of the vehicle financed and in no case is a borrowing for a vehicle to remain outstanding for greater than one year. The Acquisition Line requires a commitment fee ranging from 0.15% to 0.40% per annum, depending on the Company’s total adjusted leverage ratio.
