EFG Companies: Top Five Questions We Hear From Dealers Reflect State of the Industry
Challenging Times Demand Sound Counsel During Second Half of 2025 DALLAS, July 29, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--EFG Companies has the ear of over 1,600 retail automotive and powersports dealers and hears the impacts of the current market and economic conditions. Success in the second half of 2025 will require a mixture of strategy, innovation, and preparation to combat the challenging forces disrupting sales and revenue generation. Here are the Top Five Questions we hear from dealer principals daily – and the experienced counsel we share with them. For more information, visit Top Five Questions from Dealers What business changes should we make now, given the uncertain economy? Now is not the time to hunker down. While dealers cannot control market forces such as interest rates, tariffs, supply chain, and increasing inventory constraints, dealership owners can closely evaluate annual reinsurance and revenue generation goals. Dealers should consciously and comprehensively analyze personal wealth creation and profit metrics to ensure strong positions. Our Wealth Builder Profit Participation portfolio and Business Development Assessment process are proven tools for success. How can we mitigate losses from tariffs? A strategic focus on training and recruiting is a powerful weapon to fight the impacts of tariffs. Front-end margins and unit sales are anemic – the opportunity for dealers to shore up their business is through backend gross. To drive increased PRU and penetration, there is a need to modify behaviors that set in during COVID when front-end gross was at record highs. For training to deliver sustainable performance results, there must be a commitment from dealership management to support the processes learned in training and not revert to bad (perhaps more comfortable) habits. Ensuring pay plans are structured to motivate the desired behaviors is also key. How can we drive more traffic to our dealership? Consumer concerns about the economy, employment, and rising inflation will continue to impact dealer sales for the foreseeable future. Edmunds' research shows auto finance metrics have reached record highs. Increasing traffic and online to on-lot sales requires dealers to refocus their people on the fundamentals. Traffic-driving and retention products, such as WALKAWAY® and Drive Forever Worry Free from EFG, give consumers confidence in making a large purchase during challenging times, while increasing buyer loyalty and fixed operations revenue. The questions you should ask are 4-fold: Is it good for your brand? Is it good for the consumer? Is it good for your employees? And does it drive profit? What changes should we make to our processes? Artificial intelligence tools are all the buzz, driven by consumers' growing online purchase habits, says Cox Automotive research. Dealers who focus on value-driven differentiation will overstep the competition. Delivering a "Why Buy Here" message at every customer interaction is key. Training across all divisions to reinforce customer interaction while delivering the right products for each individual customer must be an ingrained process. How can we increase our margins and make more per sale? When front-end margins shrink, backend margins must increase. Culture, behavior, and performance are key drivers that impact results. Dealers set the tone here and must go beyond traditional training methodologies to focus on needs-based selling that delivers results. Our data show that properly trained team members can generate an incremental $206,400 average annual F&I profit per producer per year. "If we take the lessons learned from COVID and the Great Recession, we know the root cause issues impacting dealer profit," said Jennifer Rappaport, CEO of EFG Companies. "Some of today's challenges may be unique, but the underlying strategy is the same. With nearly 50 years of empirical data on training and consumer protection products, we intimately understand the challenges facing automotive and powersports dealers. Our dedication to a results-focused client engagement model that combines F&I products with a model-agnostic reinsurance portfolio has delivered proven results. We feel confident that our counsel will once again ensure our customers successfully weather these challenges."

IDEMIA Public Security's Latest Generation ID-One PIV® Smart Cards Added to the General Services Administration (GSA)'s Approved Products List (APL)
IDEMIA's ID-One PIV® 243 smart cards are the first new addition to the Approved PIV Card list in four years, after receiving NIST FIPS 140-3 level 2 validation. RESTON, Va., July 29, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- IDEMIA Public Security, the leading provider of secure and trusted biometric-based solutions and the leading provider of PIV-based smart cards to the U.S. Federal government, is proud to announce that its latest generation of PIV cards, the ID-One PIV® 243 card, has been added to the General Services Administration (GSA)'s Approved Products List (APL) after being awarded NIST FIPS 140-3 level 2 validation based on a series of rigorous tests. This represents the first new addition to the Approved PIV Card list in four years. All U.S. federal government agencies and federal contractors are required to purchase only products on the GSA APL, ensuring optimal interoperability and conformance with the technical specifications of NIST's Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) 201-3 for a Personal Identity Verification (PIV) system, meaning that the products meet the control, interoperability, and security objectives of Homeland Security Presidential Directive-12 (HSPD-12). The addition of IDEMIA's ID-One PIV smart card to the GSA APL demonstrates IDEMIA's commitment to providing trusted solutions to customers amid the current ever-evolving cybersecurity landscape, with IDEMIA's cards and applets intentionally designed to not just meet but exceed FIPS 201 PIV specifications. In addition, IDEMIA's PIV Middleware has also received verification from the NIST Personal Identity Verification Program (NPIVP), featured on the SP800-73-4 PIV Middleware Validation List. "IDEMIA is proud to support the U.S. government and its partners in securing their facilities, data, and communications with products that adhere to the strictest standards," says Matt Cole, CEO, IDEMIA Public Security. "We stay ahead of bad actors by not just meeting but exceeding these standards, so that our public sector and commercial customers can feel confident as they move into a post-quantum future." ID-One PIV® cards offer a versatile 3-in-1 solution for visual identification, physical access, and logical access, including an optional FIDO applet. In addition to access, the card can be used for digitally signing emails and encrypting data, providing an essential tool for strengthening enterprise security infrastructure and protecting our nation's critical infrastructure, data, and networks. While initially developed for federal employees and contractors, the card can also be configured for civilian and commercial enterprise use. Additional ID-One PIV® card enhancements include quantum-resistant cryptographic algorithms that support longer key lengths; on-card comparison for fingerprints, face, and iris; built-in support for Open Authentication (OAuth) with HMAC-based and time-based One-Time Password (OTP); extended PIN lengths and PIN formats; one-step application reset to recycle cards for visitors; and biometric data encryption, irrespective of communication interface (contact or contactless). In addition to the cards, the FIPS 140-3 and FIPS 201-3 validated cryptographic module of the ID-One PIV® 243 card is used in IDEMIA's new USB security key, the ID-One Key™ Bolt. These USB-based security keys, launched at the Identiverse conference in Las Vegas, NV at the beginning of June, offer a convenient form factor for digital authentication, and an ideal solution for generating derived PIV credentials. "IDEMIA has been providing FIPS 201-certified PIV cards to the U.S. government since 2005, producing over 70 million ID Smart Cards to date. And now we are committed to expanding our smart credential portfolio to help protect our nation's physical and cybersecurity infrastructure. This is why we are very excited to be able to offer this new form factor with the same proven technology baseline," says Cole. As a global leader in the delivery of secure identity solutions, IDEMIA offers a range of solutions for securing both facilities and critical digital assets, including hardware tokens for phishing-resistant multifactor authentication and identity and credentialing access management.
