Auto Trader Group has announced its full year results for the year ended 31 March 2025, with pre-tax profit increasing by 9% to £375.7m.
Group revenue increased by 5% to £601.1m driven by Auto Trader revenue which increased by 7% to £564.8m with Autorama contributing £36.3m.
Nathan Coe, CEO of Auto Trader, said: “Our growth is testament to the hard work from everyone at Auto Trader to deliver value for all our partners. While the car market generally is in good health, retailers face headwinds from shifting market dynamics, which we’re committed to helping them navigate using the strength of our data and technology.
“Consumer behaviour is changing. That’s why we’ve invested in the technologies to help all retailers confidently meet buyer expectations. And it’s for the same reason that we’ve made the decision to make Deal Builder available on all vehicles on Auto Trader.
“This means that all our partners will now be able to benefit from receiving more deals from highly engaged and ready to purchase buyers, rather than simply leads alone, helping to drive their performance through unique buyer and vehicle insights.”
Revenue increased to £564.8m, up 7% when compared to the prior year.
Retailer revenue increased by 7% to £480.0m. The average number of retailer forecourts advertising on the platform increased by 2% to 14,013.
Average revenue per retailer per month increased by 5% to £2,854.
All retailers will benefit from receiving more ‘deals’ from highly engaged buyers, rather than ‘leads’ alone.
The report highlights ‘culture for Auto Trader is as tangible and important to its performance, as its strategy, competitive position and product development pipeline’.
The Group’s employee driven networks support women, ethnicity, LGBT+, wellbeing, early careers, disability and neurodiversity, social mobility and family.
At the end of March 2025, women represented 44% of the Auto Trader organisation and 43% of leadership roles as defined by the FTSE Women Leaders Review. The Board comprises six women and three men, with two from an ethnically diverse background and a woman as Senior Independent Director.
