Lithia & Driveway announced their entrance into South Florida with the addition of Audi Fort Lauderdale and Audi Coral Springs. The Florida stores dramatically increase LAD's luxury footprint in the Southeast Region and together are expected to generate $275 million in annualized revenue. The Audi Coral Springs dealership boasts the Audi showroom, an impressive 66,000 square feet, and is easily accessible off Florida highways. These well positioned stores will bring LAD one step closer to servicing consumer vehicles within a 100-mile radius anywhere in the country. The addition of Audi Fort Lauderdale and Audi Coral Springs brings LAD's total expected annualized revenue acquired in 2021 to $6.5 billion. The company is pacing to exceed its 5-year plan, announced in July 2020, to reach $50 billion in revenue and $50 of earnings per share. These acquisitions were financed using existing on-balance sheet capacity.
