Certain of these agreements also require us to maintain compliance with certain financial ratios, including, but not limited to, our adjusted net leverage ratio.
Removed
We cannot predict with any certainty how long the automotive retail industry will continue to be subject to these shortages or when normalized production will resume at the se manufacturers. The novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) global pandemic had, and may continue to have, a material impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Added
Therefore, our interest expense from variable rate debt will rise with increases in interest rates.
Removed
The COVID-19 global pandemic has negatively impacted the global economy, disrupted consumer spending and global supply chains, and created significant volatility and disruption of financial markets. Consumer spending may also be negatively impacted by general macroeconomic conditions, consumer confidence, supply chain disruptions, macroeconomic inflation and efforts to curtail inflation, which may negatively impact revenues.
Added
Cyber incidents can result from human error or intentional (or deliberate) attacks or unintentional events by insiders (e.g., employees) or third parties, including cybercriminals, competitors, nation-states and “hacktivists,” among others.
Removed
Our profitability is, to a great extent, dependent on various aspects of vehicle manufacturers' operations. As a result of significant shortages of semiconductor chips, parts and key components, certain vehicle manufacturers have ceased or slowed production of new vehicles.
Added
Cyber incidents can include, for example, phishing, credential harvesting or use of stolen access credentials, unauthorized access to systems, networks or devices (for example, through hacking activity), structured query language attacks, infection from or spread of malware, ransomware, computer viruses or other malicious software code, corruption of data, exfiltration of data to malicious sites, the dark web or other locations or threat actors, the use of fraudulent or fake websites, and other attacks (including, but not limited to, denial-of-service attacks on websites), which shut down, disable, slow, impair or otherwise disrupt operations, business processes, technology, connectivity or website or internet access, functionality or performance.
Removed
We cannot predict with any certainty how long these production slowdowns in the automotive retail industry will persist and when normalized production will resume at these manufacturers.
Added
In addition to intentional cyber incidents, unintentional cyber incidents can occur (for example, the inadvertent release of confidential or non-public personal information). Changes to our business, processes, systems, or technology, if not implemented properly, can increase our vulnerability to cyber incidents.
Removed
This disruption in our supply network has negatively impacted, and will continue to impact, our ability to maintain a desirable mix of popular new vehicles and parts that consumers demand at the time and in the volumes desired, all of which would adversely impact our revenues.
Added
While we have experienced cyber incidents in the past, and may experience additional incidents in the future, we are not aware of any incident having a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations or financial condition to date. However, there can be no assurance that we will not experience future cyber incidents that may be material.
Removed
While the supply disruption has reduced our new vehicle inventory supply, it has positively impacted our gross profit per vehicle retailed. As new vehicle inventories return to historic levels we would expect our new vehicle gross profit to return to pre-COVID levels.
Added
Although we believe we have systems and processes in place to protect against risks associated with cyber incidents in the future, depending on the nature of an incident, these protections may not be fully sufficient.
Removed
The extent of the impact of the COVID-19 global pandemic on our business will depend on numerous evolving factors that we cannot accurately predict or assess.
Added
In addition, because techniques used in cybersecurity attacks change frequently and may not be recognized until launched against a target, we may be unable to anticipate these techniques or to implement adequate preventative measures.
Removed
Even after the COVID-19 global pandemic has subsided, we may continue to experience adverse impacts to our business as a result of an economic recession or depression that has occurred or may occur in the future.
Added
An incident may not be detected until well after it occurs and the severity and potential impact may not be fully known for a substantial period of time after it has been discovered.
Removed
These adverse impacts could include the negative impact it has on global and regional economies and economic activity; financial and capital markets, foreign currency exchange rates, inflation, commodity prices and interest rates; changes in consumer behavior and household debt levels, as well as its short and longer-term impact on the levels of consumer confidence.
Added
Our dealership operations and facilities are subject to extensive governmental laws and regulations.

We seek to execute on our strategic plan using a variety of growth efforts including, driving same-store revenue growth, acquiring additional revenue through strategic acquisitions and adding incremental revenue through our Clicklane platform.
Added
In January 2024, the FTC published the Combatting Auto Retail Scams Final Rule (the “CARS Rule”), which prohibits a broad range of current accepted industry sales and marketing practices and imposes significant new dealer disclosure obligations and record-keeping requirements throughout the vehicle-buying process.

Item 4. Mine Safety Disclosures Not applicable. 31 Table of Contents PART II
Added
On August 3, 2022, we received a Civil Investigative Demand (“CID”) from the FTC requesting information and documents concerning the Company’s corporate structure and operation of six of its dealerships. We responded to the CID by producing information and documents for the period August 1, 2019 to April 24, 2023.
Added
On February 8, 2024, the FTC staff counsel sent to us a proposed consent order and draft complaint, alleging that the Company and three of our dealerships had violated Section 5 of the Federal Trade Commission Act (“FTC Act”) and certain provisions of the Equal Credit Opportunity Act (“ECOA”) in connection with the sale of add-on products (e.g., vehicle service contracts, maintenance plans, etc.), and advising that it would recommend the filing of an enforcement action if the Company did not settle the FTC’s claims.
Added
The Company disputes the FTC’s allegations that it violated the FTC Act and the ECOA, and is currently involved in discussions with the FTC staff regarding the matter.
Added
There can be no assurance that negotiations between us and the FTC for a favorable settlement will be successful, or that we will succeed in any litigation as a result of the investigation.
Added
At this time, we are unable to reasonably predict the possible outcome of this matter, or provide a reasonably possible range of loss, if any, as a result of the 32 Table of Contents investigation.
Added
If the FTC files a suit against us based on these allegations, whether meritorious or not, it may adversely affect our ability to attract customers, result in the loss of existing customers, harm our reputation and cause us to incur defense costs and other expenses.
