The Presidio Group was honored to exclusively advise MileOne Autogroup, of Towson, Md., on the sale of Hall Honda Huntersville of Huntersville, N.C., outside of Charlotte, N.C., to Hudson Automotive Group in a deal that closed Aug. 26. The store, which had been MileOne’s only holding in the Charlotte market, is located just 2,000 feet away from a Toyota dealership that Hudson Automotive purchased five months ago. The acquisition gives Hudson its 10th store representing the Honda brand. The Presidio team congratulates the MileOne and Hudson organizations on the successful deal. “One of our most gratifying roles is when we can help dealers finetune their portfolios,” said George Karolis, president of The Presidio Group. “It has been a privilege to support the MileOne organization in completing this transaction.” Read more about the deal here: https://lnkd.in/etq76zHM #DealershipBuySell #MileOneAutogroup #HudsonAutomotiveGroup

Newly released data from the Presidio-NCM Average Dealership Performance Benchmark reveals that the typical dealer isn’t acting quickly enough to rein in expenses that rose during the heights of the pandemic profit boom. The average dealership saw its variable gross profit plunge 32 percent since 2022, but its total personnel expense has dropped by just 6 percent during the same period. “We’re surprised that the typical dealership hasn’t adjusted its spending and variable costs as quickly and appropriately as it should have given the decline in profitability over the last two years,” said George Karolis, president of The Presidio Group. “This is a time when dealers must be nimble and adjust quickly to the industry’s changing circumstances, and many of them have not.” According to the benchmark, which is produced by The Presidio Group and NCM Associates, net pretax profit for the average franchised store dropped 33.4 percent through the first half of 2024 compared with the same period in 2023. Even so, the average dealership’s profit was still 1.7 times 2018’s level.
