Looking forward, we are as optimistic as ever and focused on our next-generation of innovation and growth as we roll-out e-commerce home delivery, site-to-store, and ship-from-store delivery strategies for our customers and demonstrate the value of our e-commerce hybrid model at the growing list of auto dealerships we intend to acquire”.Tawfik concluded, “At LMP, we intend to demonstrate rapid, efficient, and profitable expansion in the online-centric economy.

By leveraging our access to acquired dealership inventories we can create one of the largest and most diverse online stores, providing consumers multiple vehicle and ownership. We plan to grow revenues and earnings of dealerships that we acquire by adding e-commerce and subscription options for their customers as well as “tech” enabling them. We believe this combined approach will produce continued revenue and earnings growth for us and our shareholders.”Second Quarter 2020 Financial Results Discussion
