David Smith, Chairman and CEO of Sonic Automotive, stated, "We are proud of our team's performance in the first quarter, with our diversified business model and commitment to returning capital to stockholders driving year-over-year growth in adjusted earnings per share* despite the continued normalization of new vehicle margins in our franchised dealerships segment.
