“In 2022, we embarked on an ambitious strategy to be the nation’s most comprehensive provider of transportation services, meeting Customers’ needs throughout their transportation lifecycle. During the year, we made significant progress in expanding our product and service offerings while aligning our core business to serve our Customers and Manufacturer partners. Our progress, combined with disciplined capital allocation, has positioned AutoNation for long-term sustained profitability. Our commitment to our Customers was recognized in Reputations’ Automotive Reputation Report as we were ranked the No. 1 Public Dealer for 2022,” added Manley.

AutoNation strengthened its core business by focusing on operational excellence, including Customer satisfaction, sales efficiency, sales effectiveness, and asset utilization. AutoNation extended and enhanced its brand, scale, and footprint during


the year, opening four additional AutoNation USA stores and adding nine franchises acquired from the Moreland Auto Group. Additionally, the Company improved its digital retailing experience with an enhanced digital storefront.

AutoNation expanded its service and product offerings to introduce comprehensive transportation solutions to over 11 million AutoNation Customers. The acquisition of CIG Financial and the creation of AutoNation Finance established an in-house Customer Financial Services solution for current and future Customers. We are creating mobility solutions to offer Customers greater flexibility in vehicle procurement. In January 2023, we completed the acquisition of RepairSmith, a mobile solution for automotive repair and maintenance. RepairSmith will expand our ability to innovate and conveniently service our Customers by broadening the reach of our existing After-Sales network, extending our brand, and further leveraging our scale.

In addition to operational and expansion investments of over $500 million, AutoNation continued to utilize its substantial cash flow generation to deploy capital to return funds to shareholders through share repurchases. During 2022, $1.7 billion was deployed to repurchase 15.6 million shares, reducing shares outstanding by 25% from a year ago.
