Lithia Motors Financial Ratios 2025-2011 | LAD

Brief overview of Lithia Motors's valuation multiples

The review covers five available annual periods spanning 2021 to 2025.

The valuation comparison uses P/E 8.61x (median 8.61x), EV/EBITDA 8.97x (median 8.87x), P/S 0.19x (median 0.26x). Ratios sit near their own comparison base, with an average deviation of 0% from five-year medians.

The inverse P/E implies an earnings yield of 11.6%. This is not a dividend yield, but current earnings relative to market price.

Current measures of operating quality are ROE 12.4%, ROA 3.3%, ROCE 24.2%. Return ratios are at workable levels. The business generates positive returns, though efficiency is not exceptional.

Price, earnings and growth produce a PEG of 0.39x. A value below one indicates moderate pricing relative to expected growth.

A longer cycle, from 54.5 days to 76.5 days, indicates slower release of cash from operations.

Valuation takeaway

Lithia Motors's profile looks neutral, with price and fundamental efficiency broadly aligned.

Essentially, multiples express how the market values the company relative to its earnings, revenue, equity, or other key metrics.

Advantages of Using Financial Ratios
  • Simplified Data Analysis
    Financial ratios transform large volumes of accounting data into compact and easily interpretable indicators, significantly simplifying the assessment of the company’s condition.
  • Comparability Between Companies
    Multiples standardize financial metrics, enabling objective comparison of companies of different sizes, industries, and market capitalizations.
  • Identification of Trends and Issues
    Regular analysis of ratios helps track the dynamics of financial health, identify strengths and weaknesses of the business, as well as potential risks.
  • Decision Support
    Financial multiples serve as an important tool for investors, creditors, and company management in making investment, credit, and managerial decisions.
  • Accelerated Assessment of Investment Attractiveness
    Ratios allow quick determination of key performance, liquidity, and financial stability indicators, facilitating prompt evaluation of companies’ attractiveness for investments.

Using multiples enables comparison between companies, even if they differ in size or industry, as they standardize financial data into ratios convenient for analysis. This is especially useful for evaluating companies where direct analysis of financial statements may be complex or require in-depth knowledge.
