Commentary

David Smith, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Sonic Automotive, stated, “I'm very proud of our team's performance in the fourth quarter, building positive momentum heading into 2025. Our franchised dealerships segment achieved all-time record quarterly revenues, outperforming the industry in both new and used retail unit sales volume growth and generating all-time quarterly record parts and service revenues. In the fourth quarter, we accelerated our technician hiring and retention initiative, exceeding our goal of increasing technician headcount by 300 in 2024, with a final net increase of 335 technicians. This strong finish to 2024 positions us well for continued growth in 2025, and our entire team remains focused on executing our strategy and continuing to grow our business, creating long-term value for our stakeholders.”

Jeff Dyke, President of Sonic Automotive, commented, “2024 was a strong year of execution across all of our operating segments, despite affordability challenges for our guests, operational disruptions from the CDK outage, manufacturer stop-sale orders on certain makes and models, and continued normalization of new vehicle margins. Our EchoPark team did an excellent job executing our strategy to return to profitability, achieving all-time record annual adjusted EBITDA* of $27.6 million - an incredible turnaround from a loss of $83.0 million in 2023. As we look ahead to 2025, our focus remains on delivering an outstanding experience for our guests and teammates, continuing to grow our EchoPark volume and profitability, gaining market share in our franchised dealerships and powersports segments, and optimizing our expense structure to drive sustained success.”

Heath Byrd, Chief Financial Officer of Sonic Automotive, added, “As we close out 2024, Sonic is in a strong financial position to continue to execute our long-term strategic plan. As of December 31, 2024, we had approximately $384 million in cash and floor plan deposits on hand, with total liquidity of approximately $862 million, before considering unencumbered real estate. In 2025, we anticipate numerous opportunities to deploy our capital to grow our revenue base and enhance shareholder returns.”

Actual results may differ. See “Forward-Looking Statements.”

NYSE SAH Strategic Focus – Franchised Dealerships Segment (continued) 7 Fixed Operations And F&I • Increased technician headcount by 335 technicians in FY 2024, projected to generate approximately $100M in annualized fixed operations gross profit once fully productive • Fixed operations parts and labor cost inflation is generally passed along to customers, supporting stable fixed operations profit margins over time • Vehicle affordability challenges may drive consumers to choose to repair their current vehicle to extend its life rather than replace it with a newer vehicle, benefitting fixed operations revenues • F&I gross profit per unit increased nearly 50% from pre- pandemic to FY 2024, driven primarily by higher warranty contract penetration rates • We believe F&I GPU will remain structurally higher than pre- pandemic as a result of optimized F&I presentation and consumer preferences • Even in an elevated interest rate environment, finance contract penetration rates remain robust and are supported by manufacturer financing or lease incentives only available at franchised dealerships $1,846 $2,160 $2,453 $2,403 $2,374 $2,330 $2,424 77.9% 77.6% 72.9% 71.2% 72.6% 70.7% 72.6% 40.9% 44.4% 49.4% 48.9% 48.0% 47.1% 46.5% FY 2020 FY 2021 FY 2022 FY 2023 FY 2024 Q4 2023 Q4 2024 F&I Gross Profit Per Unit and Product Penetration Rates F&I GPU Finance Contract Penetration Rate Warranty Penetration Rate $595 $673 $787 $853 $909 $213 $238 49.8% 50.2% 49.5% 49.7% 50.4% 50.0% 50.8% FY 2020 FY 2021 FY 2022 FY 2023 FY 2024 Q4 2023 Q4 2024 Fixed Operations Gross Profit and Gross Margin % Fixed Operations Gross Profit (Millions) Fixed Operations Gross Margin % Note: Technician headcount, fixed operations profit margin and F&I GPU are estimates of future results. Actual results may differ. See “Forward-Looking Statements.”

NYSE SAH Strategic Focus – Franchised Dealerships Segment (continued) Hybrid vs. Electric Vehicle Trends • Industry sales volume penetration rates for combined hybrid electric vehicles (HEV) and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEV) are double the penetration rates for battery electric vehicles (BEV) and are trending upward • We believe there is an easier path to consumer adoption of alternative power trains as more manufacturers expand their HEV and PHEV model offerings, which we are seeing with model year 2025 vehicles • Hybrid new vehicle GPU was higher than internal combustion engine (ICE) new vehicle GPU in our import and domestic brands, and marginally lower in our luxury brands, driven by better consumer demand and relatively lower hybrid days’ supply vs. both ICE and BEV • BEV new vehicle GPU lags both hybrid and ICE vehicles as a result of excess inventory supply, resulting in BEV sales negatively impacting total new vehicle GPU by approximately $400 in Q4 2024 and $350 in FY 2024 – to the extent OEMs can better align BEV supply with consumer demand, this GPU headwind could decrease in FY 2025 • Initial BEV repair and maintenance trends show lower frequency but higher gross profit per repair order vs. ICE vehicles, while hybrid vehicles create opportunity to service both types of power trains 18.0% 9.0% 0% 4% 8% 12% 16% 20% Fe b- 19 M ay -1 9 Au g- 19 N ov -1 9 Fe b- 20 M ay -2 0 Au g- 20 N ov -2 0 Fe b- 21 M ay -2 1 Au g- 21 N ov -2 1 Fe b- 22 M ay -2 2 Au g- 22 N ov -2 2 Fe b- 23 M ay -2 3 Au g- 23 N ov -2 3 Fe b- 24 M ay -2 4 Au g- 24 N ov -2 4 Hybrid Vehicle vs. EV Industry Sales Volume Penetration Hybrid (HEV/PHEV) Penetration % BEV Penetration % So ur ce : M or ga n St an le y R es ea rc h 8 100% Luxury Import Domestic Total Sonic FY 2024 Average New Vehicle Relative GPU by Power Train BEV Hybrid ICE Average New Vehicle GPU Note: Average new vehicle relative GPU by power train in the chart above is shown as a percentage of blended average GPU for each brand group and franchised dealerships segment total GPU, where 100% represents the blended average GPU for each brand group and the franchised dealerships segment total GPU.

NYSE SAH Strategic Focus – EchoPark Segment • Returned to positive segment adjusted EBITDA* in FY 2024 after 3 years of used vehicle industry headwinds • Expect to resume disciplined expansion of EchoPark footprint once used vehicle market conditions are supportive • Long-term goal to reach 90% of the U.S. population • Below-market pricing and no-haggle, transparent guest experience expected to drive market share gains • EchoPark maintains the #1 ranking in guest satisfaction among all major pre- owned vehicle retailers according to Reputation EchoPark Strategy * Refer to appendix for calculation and reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA (a non-GAAP measure).

NYSE SAH Strategic Focus – EchoPark Segment (continued) 10 • Focus on maintaining positive retail used vehicle GPU throughout FY 2025 due to faster inventory turns and stability in wholesale and retail prices and used car supply • Maintain focus on optimizing F&I product offerings and pricing to drive F&I GPU growth in FY 2025 • Expect relative stability in used vehicle wholesale and retail prices in FY 2025, reducing inventory acquisition costs and potentially driving incremental industry sales volume as consumer affordability improves • Used vehicle supply is projected to reach its lowest point in late 2025, due to lower levels of off-lease inventory as a result of declines in new vehicle industry sales volume since 2020 and fewer lease originations • Beyond 2025, gradual expansion of used vehicle supply and further normalization of used vehicle pricing should drive consumer demand and higher retail sales volume for EchoPark EchoPark Strategy $10.7 $(47.8) $(105.4) $(83.0) $27.6 $(9.1) $4.2 $2,013 $1,762 $2,657 $2,183 $3,029 $2,461 $2,974 FY 2020 FY 2021 FY 2022 FY 2023 FY 2024 Q4 2023 Q4 2024 EchoPark Segment Adjusted EBITDA* and Total GPU (Used GPU + F&I GPU) Adjusted EBITDA* (Millions) Total GPU Source: J.D.

NYSE SAH Sonic Automotive FY 2025 Outlook • Expect low single digit percentage growth in revenues and gross profit, driven by: • Continued normalization of new vehicle GPU in the $2,500 to $3,000 per unit range, depending on seasonality, brand mix, and EV margin volatility • Low single digit percentage growth in new and used retail unit sales volume, consistent with projected industry growth rates • Mid single digit percentage growth in fixed operations gross profit, driven by additional technician headcount and service marketing strategy • Mid single digit percentage F&I gross profit growth, driven by higher retail unit volume and F&I GPU in the $2,400 per unit range • Expect adjusted SG&A expenses as a % of gross profit* of approximately 70% Consolidated • Expect low single digit percentage growth in revenues and gross profit • Expect adjusted SG&A expenses as a % of gross profit* in the low 70% range Franchised Dealerships Segment EchoPark Segment • Expect adjusted EBITDA* between $30-$33 million, driven by: • Anticipated operational improvement at seven stores that were not yet profitable on a pre-tax basis in FY 2024 • Mid single digit percentage growth in used retail unit sales volume, driven by organic volume growth opportunities at existing store footprint and an increase in advertising spend per retail unit to build brand awareness • Low single digit percentage F&I GPU growth, driven by continued focus on optimizing underperforming stores • Expect SG&A expenses as a % of gross profit in the high 70% range (target below 70% at maturity) Powersports Segment • Expect adjusted EBITDA* between $7-$8 million, with majority coming in Q3 (Q1 & Q4 slightly negative due to seasonality) * Refer to appendix for calculation and reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA (a non-GAAP measure). Note: Above outlook is based on projections. Actual results may differ. See “Forward-Looking Statements.” Financial data may also include certain forward-looking information that is not presented in accordance with GAAP. We believe that a quantitative reconciliation of such forward-looking information to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure cannot be made available without unreasonable efforts, because a reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures would require an estimate of future non-operating items such as impairment charges, gain/loss on property dispositions, and/or non-recurring SG&A expenses. Neither the timing nor likelihood of these events, nor their probable significance, can be quantified with a reasonable degree of accuracy. Accordingly, a reconciliation of such forward-looking information to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is not provided. 13

Appendix: Financial Tables & Non-GAAP Reconciliations

NYSE SAH Definition of Non-GAAP Financial Measures 15 Adjusted Net Income is defined as GAAP net income, excluding certain non-operating charges and/or benefits that may affect the comparability of results from period to period. Adjusted Earnings Per Diluted Share (“Adjusted EPS”) is defined as Adjusted Net Income divided by diluted weighted-average common shares outstanding. Segment Income (Loss) is defined as segment income (loss) before taxes, less impairment charges. Adjusted Segment Income (Loss) is defined as Segment Income (Loss), excluding certain non- operating charges and/or benefits that may affect the comparability of results from period to period. Adjusted Gross Profit is defined as GAAP gross profit, excluding certain non-operating charges that may affect the comparability of results from period to period. Adjusted SG&A Expenses is defined as GAAP SG&A expenses, excluding certain non-operating charges and/or benefits that may affect the comparability of results from period to period. Adjusted SG&A Expenses as a % of Gross Profit is defined as GAAP SG&A expenses, excluding certain non-operating charges and/or benefits that may affect the comparability of results from period to period, expressed as a percentage of adjusted gross profit. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as GAAP net income (loss), excluding the provision for income taxes, non-floor plan interest expense, depreciation and amortization expense, stock-based compensation expense, and certain non-operating charges and/or benefits that may affect the comparability of results from period to period. Segment Adjusted EBITDA and Segment Adjusted EBITDA Loss is defined as segment income (loss) before taxes, excluding non-floor plan interest expense, depreciation and amortization expense, stock-based compensation expense, and certain non-operating charges and/or benefits that may affect the comparability of results from period to period. Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA Ratio is defined as long-term debt (including current portion), less cash and equivalents, less outstanding floor plan deposit balance, expressed as a ratio to Adjusted EBITDA. To supplement the Company’s financial data presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”), this presentation contains certain non- GAAP financial measures, such as adjusted net income, adjusted earnings per diluted share, segment income (loss), adjusted segment income (loss), adjusted SG&A expenses as a percentage of gross profit, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA loss, and net debt to adjusted EBITDA ratio. The Company has provided reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures in the appendix to this presentation. Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures are important supplemental measures of performance which improve the comparability and transparency of the Company’s disclosures and provide a meaningful presentation of the Company’s results. Management also considers these non-GAAP financial measures when making financial, operating and strategic decisions. Financial data may also include certain forward-looking information that is not presented in accordance with GAAP. We believe that a quantitative reconciliation of such forward-looking information to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure cannot be made available without unreasonable efforts, because a reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures would require an estimate of future non-operating items such as impairment charges, gain/loss on property dispositions, and/or non-recurring SG&A expenses. Neither the timing nor likelihood of these events, nor their probable significance, can be quantified with a reasonable degree of accuracy. Accordingly, a reconciliation of such forward-looking information to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is not provided.
