What Lithia Motors Inc. reported on October 21, 2026
The quarter ending September 30, 2026, against the same quarter a year earlier.
| Measure | 3 months toSep 30, 2026 | 3 months toSep 30, 2025 | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| Total Revenue | $9.9B | $9.7B | +2.80% |
| Profit | $291.1M | $217.1M | +34.09% |
| Profit per share | $13.22 | $8.61 | +53.54% |
| Free Cash Flow | -$129.7M | -$207.3M | +37.43% |
These are single quarters, not a trailing year — the figures elsewhere on this site cover twelve months and will be much larger. A seasonal business swings a long way between the two: ServiceNow earns $2.0B of free cash flow in its December quarter and $0.5B in its June one.
Compared against the same quarter a year earlier, not against an analyst forecast. A “beat” or “miss” needs a consensus estimate, which is licensed data we do not carry — and getting it wrong is worse than leaving it out.
