Quarterly earnings analysis

The Parts, Accessories, and Merchandise (PAM) division continued to serve as a resilient and scalable growth engine, while the company's electric vehicle retail footprint under VIDA scaled up significantly with dispatches reaching 67,000 units and market share holding at 11.1%.
