Vroom Announces Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2023 Results

Substantial Progress on Value Maximization Plan

NEW YORK–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Vroom, Inc. (Nasdaq:VRM) today announced financial results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended December 31, 2023.


HIGHLIGHTS OF FOURTH QUARTER AND FULL YEAR 2023

  • $135.6 million cash and cash equivalents as of December 31, 2023
  • 4,780 and 17,401 Ecommerce units sold for the fourth quarter and full year, respectively, representing third consecutive quarter of Ecommerce unit growth
  • $4,742 and $3,403 Ecommerce gross profit per unit (GPPU) for the fourth quarter and full year, respectively
  • $(141.3) million and $(365.5) million net loss for the fourth quarter and full year, respectively
  • $(91.6) million and $(277.2) million Adjusted EBITDA for the fourth quarter and full year, respectively, including ~$27 million impact of aged inventory liquidations and inventory write-downs due to the discontinuance of ecommerce operations(1)
  • $41.4 million and $74.2 million convertible note repurchases during the fourth quarter and full year, respectively, for $23.3 million and $36.5 million, respectively

CURRENT PROGRESS ON VALUE MAXIMIZATION PLAN

  • Expected to be substantially complete with the ecommerce wind down by the end of the first quarter 2024
  • ~$94.0 million cash and cash equivalents as of February 29, 2024
  • Sold substantially all of our used vehicle inventory
  • Repaid outstanding balance on Ally Floorplan Facility
  • Reducing our outstanding commitments and executing a reduction-in-force commensurate with our reduced operations

Tom Shortt, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, said “As we previously announced, in January 2024 Vroom’s Board of Directors approved a Value Maximization Plan pursuant to which the Company has discontinued its ecommerce operations and is winding down its used vehicle dealership business. I am incredibly proud of the commitment and professionalism demonstrated by our team as they execute an orderly wind down of our ecommerce operations with a focus on timeliness and cost effectiveness. We anticipate that the wind-down will be substantially complete by the end of the month and look forward to working to maximize stakeholder value through our remaining businesses, United Auto Credit and CarStory.”

(1) While the Value Maximization Plan was approved in January 2024, we determined a triggering event existed as of December 31, 2023 related to our long lived assets, which led to additional write-downs of inventory in the fourth quarter of 2023.

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; and
  • 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, long-lived asset impairment charges, goodwill impairment charge, realignment costs, acquisition related costs, and the acceleration of non-cash stock-based compensation. Changes in fair value of financial instruments can fluctuate significantly from period to period and previously related primarily to historical finance receivables and debt which have been securitized, and acquired on February 1, 2022 from UACC. 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 17 — Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements to our consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 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.

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:
