BLOOMFIELD HILLS, Mich., April 29, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Penske Automotive Group, Inc. (NYSE: PAG), a diversified international transportation services company and one of the world’s premier automotive and commercial truck retailers, today announced financial results for the first quarter of 2026. For the quarter, revenue was $7.9 billion compared to $8.0 billion for the same period in 2025. Net income attributable to common stockholders was $234.5 million compared to $257.7 million for the same period in 2025, and related earnings per share was $3.56 compared to $3.86 for the same period in 2025. These GAAP results include certain disposals and other charges, as well as the full quarterly results of Penske Motor Group in both periods, which is required by GAAP for common control transactions (see page 14 below). Excluding certain disposals and other charges and a gain on the sale of a dealership in both periods, as reconciled in the attached schedules, adjusted net income decreased 16% to $200.6 million and adjusted earnings per share decreased 15% to $3.05, as a difficult comparison with the prior year period and challenging market conditions impacted year-over-year performance. Foreign currency exchange positively impacted revenue by $227.6 million, net income attributable to common stockholders by $3.4 million, and earnings per share by $0.05.
Commenting on the Company’s results, Chair Roger Penske said, “In the first quarter of 2026, our business delivered over 126,000 retail automotive and commercial truck units, generated $7.9 billion in revenue and $323.7 million in earnings before taxes. During the quarter, we continued to demonstrate a flexible approach to capital allocation by completing the acquisition of two Lexus dealerships in the Orlando metropolitan area of Central Florida, increasing the dividend paid to stockholders by 1.4% and repurchasing 170,393 shares of common stock. I was particularly pleased with the sequential increase in new and used vehicle gross profit per unit in our retail automotive business and the continued strength of our service and parts business, which increased retail automotive same-store revenue by 5% and related gross profit by 6%. Further, I am encouraged with the trends we are seeing across the trucking market as the freight environment improves and Class 8 orders were strong in recent months.”
Retail Automotive Dealerships
For the three months ended March 31, 2026, total new units delivered decreased 5% and used units delivered decreased 1%. The decrease in new units is primarily related to the U.S. market from weather-related disruptions during January and February, the benefit in the prior period from tariff-related pull-forward of retail sales, and the lower demand for electric vehicles in the U.S. associated with regulatory easing and the expiration of tax credits. Total retail automotive revenue increased 1% to $7.0 billion and increased 1% on a same-store basis. On a sequential basis when compared to the fourth quarter of 2025, new vehicle gross profit per unit increased $94 and used vehicle gross profit per unit increased $306. When compared to the prior year period, same-store retail automotive service and parts revenue increased 5%, gross profit increased 6%, and gross margin improved 60 basis points to 59.0%.
Retail Commercial Truck Dealerships
For the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company’s retail commercial truck dealerships retailed 3,583 new and used units and generated $694.6 million in revenue and $36.4 million in earnings before taxes. This compares to new and used units of 4,714, revenue of $823.7 million, and $45.1 million in earnings before taxes during the same period in the prior year as lower order intake related to the weak freight environment in the third and fourth quarters of 2025 impacted truck deliveries during the first quarter of 2026. In recent months, the Class 8 market order activity began to increase as the freight recession started to show signs of improvement, with industry reports showing a 91% increase in Class 8 market orders for the three months ended March 31, 2026, when compared to the same period in the prior year. In addition, our retail commercial truck dealership operations experienced a 5% increase in service and parts revenue during the quarter.
Penske Transportation Solutions Investment
Penske Transportation Solutions (“PTS”) is a leading provider of full-service truck leasing, truck rental, contract maintenance, and logistics services. PTS operates a managed fleet with over 387,500 trucks, tractors, and trailers under lease, rental and/or maintenance contracts. Penske Automotive Group has a 28.9% ownership interest in PTS and accounts for its ownership interest using the equity method of accounting. For the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company recorded a 24% increase in earnings to $41.1 million as PTS operating results improved related to growth in full-service leasing, improved fleet utilization, lower operating expenses, and lower interest costs, partially offset by continued challenges in the rental market and by lower gain on sale of used trucks.
Corporate Development, Capital Allocation, Liquidity, and Leverage
The Company’s strong balance sheet, cash flow generation, and best in class leverage continue to support our flexible capital allocation approach. In February 2026, the Company announced that it completed the acquisition of Lexus of Orlando and Lexus of Winter Park, both located in the Orlando metropolitan area of Central Florida. The acquisition is expected to add $450 million in estimated annualized revenue. Coupled with the acquisitions in November 2025, the Company has acquired two Toyota and four Lexus dealerships in the last six months which are expected to generate approximately $2 billion in estimated annualized revenues.
During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company repurchased 170,393 shares of common stock for approximately $26.4 million. As of March 31, 2026, $221.2 million remained outstanding and available for repurchases under our securities repurchase program. As of March 31, 2026, the Company had approximately $1.3 billion in liquidity, including $84 million in cash and $1.2 billion of availability under its U.S. and international credit agreements and revolving mortgage facilities. The Company’s leverage ratio at March 31, 2026 was 1.8x.

Our quarterly results include the impact of certain disposals and other charges, as well as the full quarterly results of Penske Motor Group in all periods, which is required by GAAP for common control transactions. The following table presents key adjusted financial line items excluding certain disposals and other charges and presents the acquisition of Penske Motor Group as if we acquired it on November 1, 2025, without common control accounting. Management believes this presentation is useful to investors in evaluating the Company’s operating performance and comparability across periods.
