Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition. The information set forth in Item 8.01 with respect to preliminary financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2024, including estimates of earnings per share, estimates of certain one-time costs, and expected adjustments to calculate non-GAAP earnings per share, is incorporated into this Item 2.02 by reference. Item 8.01 Other Events. As previously disclosed, on June 19, 2024, AutoNation, Inc. (“AutoNation” or the “Company”) was notified by CDK Global (“CDK”), a third-party provider of information systems, that CDK was experiencing a cyber incident impacting its systems, including the systems necessary to support our dealer management system (“DMS”), which supports our dealership operations, including our sales, service, inventory, customer relationship management, and accounting functions (“Core Functions”). We immediately took precautionary containment steps to help protect our systems and data, implemented business continuity plans, and commenced a review of the potential impact of the incident. The incident resulted in outages of our DMS and Core Functions, causing disruption and adverse impacts to our business, including our productivity. As of the date of this filing, access to our DMS and Core Functions has been restored. Certain ancillary systems and integrations, such as those that help automate ordering, scheduling, payment, and reporting processes, remain unavailable or limited, and efforts remain ongoing to restore these. We expect to complete the restoration of all such systems and integrations prior to the end of July 2024. The unavailability or limited availability of these ancillary systems and integrations has not had, and is not expected to have, a material impact on our business. As a result of the incident’s impacts, we currently estimate earnings per share for the quarter ended June 30, 2024, will be negatively impacted by approximately $1.50 per share, without taking into account any potential recoveries related to the incident. The estimated impact of the incident is split approximately evenly between internal estimates for lost income during the period beginning on June 19, 2024 and ending June 30, 2024, and certain one-time costs relating to the incident, principally consisting of guaranteed compensation paid to retain commission-based associates in order to protect the Company’s business, which one-time costs we expect to adjust for in calculating non-GAAP earnings per share for the second quarter. After taking into account such negative impact, we currently estimate GAAP earnings per share for the quarter ended June 30, 2024, will range between $3.15 and $3.30. These preliminary earnings per share estimates are based on information available to management as of the date of this report and are subject to change. We will release our financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2024, on July 31, 202

About AutoNation Inc. (AN) Earnings

This page provides AutoNation Inc. (AN) earnings call transcripts from SEC 8-K filings along with AI-powered predictions for post-earnings price movements. Our machine learning models analyze historical earnings data, pre-earnings price patterns, volume changes, and volatility to predict 1-day, 5-day, and 20-day returns after each earnings release.

Earnings transcripts are sourced directly from SEC EDGAR filings. Predictions are generated using gradient boosting models trained on AN's historical earnings reactions. All predicted returns are shown as percentages, and predicted prices are calculated from the closing price at the time of prediction. Past performance does not guarantee future results.
