Vroom Announces Third Quarter 2023 Results

Continued Progress on Long-Term Roadmap Driving Unit Growth, GPPU Improvement and Cost Reductions

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, 2023.

HIGHLIGHTS OF THIRD QUARTER 2023 VERSUS SECOND QUARTER 2023

  • 11% sequential growth in Ecommerce units
  • $3,144 Ecommerce gross profit per unit (GPPU) as compared to $2,954
  • Continued reductions in fixed costs per unit as well as per unit costs across marketing, logistics, and titling and registrations and support
  • $(82.9) million net loss as compared to $(66.3) million
  • $(64.5) million Adjusted EBITDA as compared to $(56.3) million

Tom Shortt, Chief Executive Officer of Vroom, said, “In the third quarter of 2023, consistent with our Long-Term Roadmap, we continued to make progress on our three key objectives and four strategic initiatives. Our ecommerce unit growth rate doubled sequentially to 11%, while we also sequentially improved GPPU and reduced SG&A spend. Ecommerce GPPU increased to $3,144 in Q3 2023 from $2,954 in Q2 2023, benefiting from an improved mix of unaged vehicles sold within the quarter. During the third quarter of 2023, 34% of our units sold were aged units, or units held greater than 180 days. Adjusted EBITDA declined sequentially, driven by headwinds in the loan portfolio performance at UACC due to higher delinquencies and realized net losses, partially offset by improved unit economics. We continue to drive process improvements across titling and registration, pricing, marketing, sales, reconditioning and logistics.”

Bob Krakowiak, Vroom’s Chief Financial Officer, commented, “We succeeded in reducing per-unit costs across 1) marketing, 2) logistics, 3) titling, registration and support, and 4) fixed costs. We further strengthened our balance sheet by recovering $48 million of cash trapped on the balance sheet as we sold through aged inventory, and ended the quarter with cash and cash equivalents of approximately $209 million. We will continue to pursue opportunities to reduce costs, strengthen our balance sheet and enhance our liquidity and intend to seek additional capital through equity or debt financing.”

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;

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, and Adjusted EBITDA excluding securitization gain and non-recurring costs to address operational and customer experience issues 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 severance costs, gain on debt extinguishment, severe weather-related costs, goodwill impairment charge, realignment costs, acquisition related costs, and other costs which relate to impairment of long-lived assets. Changes in fair value of financial instruments can fluctuate significantly from period to period and previously related 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. As a result of current market conditions, the financial instruments related to the 2022-2 and 2023-1 securitization transactions are recognized on balance-sheet and accounted for under the fair value option. See Note 16 — Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended September 30, 2023. As a result, the majority of our finance receivables are now carried at fair value and a significant portion of the risk of loss associated with these finance receivables have been retained by UACC. We therefore have determined we will no longer make any adjustments for such fluctuations in fair value to our Adjusted EBITDA results. We have recast the prior period presented to conform to current period presentation. We may account for future securitizations as on balance sheet transactions depending on the market conditions.

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 expect such costs to continue to decline due to the improvements across our operations.

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:

Financial Outlook

For the full year 2023, we updated our guidance on Adjusted EBITDA performance and year-end cash and cash equivalents:

  • Adjusted EBITDA(1) of $(245.0) to $(225.0) million;
  • Year-end cash and cash equivalents of $137.0 to $162.0 million.

(1) A reconciliation of non-GAAP guidance measures to corresponding GAAP measures for the full year 2023 Financial Outlook is not available on a forward-looking basis without unreasonable effort due to the uncertainty regarding, and the potential variability of, the costs and expenses that may be incurred in the future.

The foregoing estimates are forward-looking statements that reflect the Company’s expectations as of November 7, 2023 and are subject to substantial uncertainty. See “Forward-Looking Statements” below.
