• Dividend: $0.55 per share; record date March 6, 2026; payment date March 20, 2026.

Why It Matters

• The Q4 2025 results release gives investors the latest update on Lithia’s recent performance and trends in earnings and revenue (details are in the attached press release).
• The declared dividend is a direct cash return to shareholders and sets the record/payment dates investors must meet to receive the payout.
• The filing’s “furnished, not filed” status limits certain legal liabilities and means the press release generally won’t be automatically incorporated by reference into future SEC registration statements.
