Geographic presence

AutoNation’s reported footprint is in the United States. As of December 31, 2025, it listed retail stores across 20 states and a total of 271 retail stores, 323 franchises, and 59 other locations. The states were Florida, Texas, California, Colorado, Arizona, Washington, Nevada, Georgia, Maryland, Illinois, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia, North Carolina, Ohio, Alabama, New Mexico, New York, Missouri, and New Jersey.[11][12]

Reported revenue was concentrated in Florida (26%), Texas (20%), and California (19%); Colorado represented 7%, Arizona 6%, Washington and Nevada 4% each, Georgia, Maryland, and Illinois 3% each, and South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia, North Carolina, and Ohio 1% each. These state percentages are rounded; the filing does not provide country-level revenue or employee distribution by geography.[11][12] [11][12]

Business segments

AutoNation, Inc. reports Domestic, Import, and Premium Luxury as its franchised-dealership segments, and AutoNation Finance as a reportable segment. Domestic covers franchises focused on Ford, General Motors, and Stellantis; Import primarily covers Toyota, Honda, Hyundai, and Subaru; Premium Luxury primarily covers Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Lexus, Audi, and Jaguar Land Rover. Each dealership segment also sells used vehicles, parts and services, and finance and insurance products.[13]

For the six months ended June 30, 2026, Domestic revenue was $3,509.7 million (about 26.0% of consolidated revenue), Import revenue was $4,281.2 million (31.8%), and Premium Luxury revenue was $5,021.2 million (37.2%). The shares use consolidated revenue of $13,481.9 million as the denominator.[14] AutoNation Finance provides indirect vehicle financing to qualifying retail customers buying from AutoNation; the segment is reported by income rather than separate segment revenue, so a revenue percentage is not available.[15]

The company also reports “Corporate and other,” which contributed $669.8 million, or about 5.0%, of consolidated revenue in the period. This category includes non-franchised AutoNation USA stores, collision centers, parts distribution centers, and auction operations, along with unallocated corporate overhead and other income items; it is not a reportable segment.[14] Separately, AutoNation presents revenue by activity—including new and used vehicle sales, finance and insurance, parts and service, and other—which is an additional breakdown rather than a separate segment structure.[10] [13]+3

Company history

AutoNation was founded in 1996 by H. Wayne Huizenga and began with 12 locations. In January 1997, Republic Industries acquired AutoNation Incorporated in a merger. Republic expanded into automotive retail, including new-car dealerships and AutoNation USA used-car megastores, and announced in 1999 that it would change its corporate name to AutoNation, Inc.[16]+3

Huizenga retired from the company in 2004. In 2021, Michael Manley became chief executive officer and a director, succeeding Mike Jackson in those roles. By 2022, AutoNation reported cumulative sales of 14 million vehicles. In June 2026, it expanded in the San Francisco Bay Area through the acquisition of three luxury dealerships.[20]+4 [22]+7
