Revenue totalled $1.48 billion, up from $1.39 billion in its fourth quarter of 2022.

AutoCanada executive chair Paul Antony says the company saw solid growth in new vehicle sales and a robust contribution from parts, service, and collision repair.

He says the gains were tempered by a decrease in used vehicle sales, primarily in the U.S. market, as well as higher interest rates and consumer preferences for affordable vehicles and minimal financing.
