Vroom Announces Record Ecommerce Gross Profit Per Unit of $4,206

Nov 7, 2022

Continued Progress on Long-Term Roadmap

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 7, 2022-- Vroom, Inc. (Nasdaq:VRM), a leading ecommerce platform for buying and selling used vehicles, today announced financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2022.

HIGHLIGHTS OF THIRD QUARTER 2022 VERSUS SECOND QUARTER 2022

  • Ecommerce gross profit per unit of $4,206, up 16%
  • SG&A expenses decreased $18.3 million
  • Net loss improved from $(115.1) million to $(51.1) million
  • Adjusted EBITDA improved from $(85.6) million to $(73.3) million
  • Adjusted EBITDA excluding non-recurring costs improved from $(77.3) million to $(57.5) million

Tom Shortt, Chief Executive Officer of Vroom, commented: “We continued to make progress on our three key objectives and four strategic initiatives as outlined during our Investor Day in May. We are intensely focused on improving the customer experience. For the month of October, 98% of our customers received their completed registrations before the expiration of their initial temporary tags. We will continue this focus as we work to achieve our goal of becoming best-in-class in titling and registration. We achieved Ecommerce gross profit per unit of $4,206, improved our Adjusted EBITDA excluding non-recurring costs to $(57.5) million and reduced our leverage by $56 million. I would like to thank all of our Vroommates, UACC Colleagues and third-party partners for their contributions in transforming our business and improving our customer experience."

Bob Krakowiak, Vroom’s Chief Financial Officer, commented: “I am pleased with our financial and operational performance in the third quarter. We took several actions to maximize liquidity and strengthen our balance sheet, including unlocking $59 million of restricted cash, repurchasing a portion of our convertible notes and completing our second securitization since the acquisition of UACC. Based on our progress, we are forecasting year-end cash liquidity near the midpoint of our previous guidance of $450 to $565 million.”

In the second quarter of 2022, we reevaluated our reporting segments based on relative revenue and gross profit and significance in our long term strategy. As a result of that analysis, we determined to no longer report TDA as a separate operating segment. As of June 30, 2022, we are organized into three reportable segments: Ecommerce, Wholesale, and Retail Financing. We reclassified TDA revenue and TDA gross profit from the TDA reportable segment to the “All Other” category to conform to current year presentation.

(2)

 

All Other units consist of retail sales of used vehicles from TDA.

(3)

 

The Retail Financing segment represents UACC’s operations with its network of third-party dealership customers as of the closing of the UACC acquisition in February 2022.

(4)

 

All Other revenues and gross profit consist of retail sales of used vehicles from TDA and fees earned on sales of value-added products associated with those vehicles sales and the CarStory business.

(5)

 

Gross profit per unit metrics exclude the Retail Financing gross profit and All Other gross profit.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to our results determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP, we believe the following non-GAAP financial measures are useful in evaluating our operating performance:

  • EBITDA;
  • Adjusted EBITDA;
  • Adjusted EBITDA excluding non-recurring costs to address operational and customer experience issues;
  • Adjusted EBITDA excluding securitization gain;
  • Adjusted EBITDA excluding securitization gain and non-recurring costs to address operational and customer experience issues;
  • Non-GAAP net loss;
  • Non-GAAP net loss per share;
  • Non-GAAP net loss excluding securitization gain; and
  • Non-GAAP net loss per share excluding securitization gain.

These non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools in that they do not reflect all of the amounts associated with our results of operations as determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Because of these limitations, these non-GAAP financial measures should be considered along with other operating and financial performance measures presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, financial information prepared and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. We have reconciled all non-GAAP financial measures with the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures.

EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA excluding non-recurring costs to address operational and customer experience issues, Adjusted EBITDA excluding securitization gain, Adjusted EBITDA excluding securitization gain and non-recurring costs to address operational and customer experience issues, Non-GAAP net loss, Non-GAAP net loss per share, Non-GAAP net loss excluding securitization gain, and Non-GAAP net loss per share excluding securitization gain are supplemental performance measures that our management uses to assess our operating performance and the operating leverage in our business. Because each of these non-GAAP financial measures facilitate internal comparisons of our historical operating performance on a more consistent basis, we use these measures for business planning purposes.

EBITDA

We calculate EBITDA as net loss before interest expense, interest income, income tax expense and depreciation and amortization expense.

Adjusted EBITDA

We calculate Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA adjusted to exclude realignment costs, acquisition related costs, change in fair value of finance receivables, gain on debt extinguishment, goodwill impairment charge and other costs, which relate to the write off of the upfront shares issued as part of the Rocket Auto agreement and previously recognized within "Other assets". Changes in fair value of finance receivables can fluctuate significantly from period to period and relate primarily to historical loans and debt which have been securitized, and acquired on February 1, 2022 from UACC. Our ongoing business model is to originate or purchase finance receivables with the intent to sell which we recognize at the lower of cost or fair value. Therefore, these historical finance receivables acquired, which are accounted for under the fair value option, will experience fluctuations in value from period to period. We believe it is appropriate to remove this temporary volatility from our Adjusted EBITDA results to better reflect our ongoing business model. Additionally, these historical finance receivables acquired from UACC are expected to run-off within approximately 12 months.

Adjusted EBITDA excluding non-recurring costs to address operational and customer experience issues

We calculate Adjusted EBITDA excluding non-recurring costs to address operational and customer experience issues as Adjusted EBITDA adjusted to exclude the non-recurring costs incurred to address operational and customer experience issues, including rental cars for our customers and legal settlements with customers and state DMVs. While we expect to continue to incur these costs over the next few quarterly periods, we do not expect these costs to continue to be incurred once our operational issues have been resolved.

Adjusted EBITDA excluding securitization gain

We calculate Adjusted EBITDA excluding securitization gain as Adjusted EBITDA adjusted to exclude the securitization gain from the sale of UACC's finance receivables, and believe that it provides a useful perspective on the underlying operating results and trends and a means to compare our period-over-period results.

Adjusted EBITDA excluding securitization gain and non-recurring costs to address operational and customer experience issues

We calculate Adjusted EBITDA excluding securitization gain and non-recurring costs to address operational and customer experience issues as Adjusted EBITDA adjusted to exclude the securitization gain from the sale of UACC’s finance receivables and the non-recurring costs incurred to address operational and customer experience issues.

The following table presents a reconciliation of the foregoing non-GAAP financial measures to net loss, which is the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure:

Non-GAAP net loss

We calculate Non-GAAP net loss as net loss adjusted to exclude realignment costs, acquisition related costs, change in fair value of finance receivables, goodwill impairment charge, gain on debt extinguishment, and other costs, which relate to the write off of the upfront shares issued as part of the Rocket Auto agreement and previously recognized within "Other assets".

Non-GAAP net loss per share

We calculate Non-GAAP net loss per share as Non-GAAP net loss divided by weighted average number of shares outstanding.

Non-GAAP net loss excluding securitization gain

We calculate Non-GAAP net loss excluding securitization gain as Non-GAAP net loss adjusted to exclude the securitization gain from the sale of UACC's finance receivables.

Non-GAAP net loss per share excluding securitization gain

We calculate Non-GAAP net loss per share excluding securitization gain as Non-GAAP net loss excluding securitization gain divided by weighted average number of shares outstanding.

The following table presents a reconciliation of the foregoing non-GAAP financial measures to net loss and net loss per share, which are the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measures:
