ABG is a leading global provider of mobility solutions through multiple. recognized brands including Avis, Budget, and Zipcar. Through its brands, ABG offers a range of options from car and truck rental to car sharing.
On February 11, 2025, ABG released its financial results for Q4 and the full year 2024. Therein, the Company reported a loss of $55.66 per share in Q4 versus a profit of $7.10 in Q4 2023. Management attributed the loss to a change in strategy to accelerate fleet rotations, which resulted in shortening the life of most vehicles in the Americas’ segment, as well as one-time impairment charge. The Company also announced that its CEO would transition from that role to a “Board Advisor” effective June 30, 2025.
On this news, ABG shares declined by 6.82%.
In the prior quarter’s earnings call, management repeatedly referenced that the Company’s ’25 fleet buy was near completion without mention of a potential impairment or write-down associated with rotation of the fleet. In fact, management repeatedly stated that they were optimizing the fleet to meet demand. With respect to the impact of the ’25 buy on earnings, management stated that they would “have more to say about the impact our model year ’25 buy will have on our earnings” during the “year-end call[.]”
