Management Commentary

“Our first quarter revenue compared to 2020 underscores the progress we have made expanding our business inclusive of the lift we experienced from the tailwind related to record stimulus in early 2021,” said Nino Ciappina, Chief Executive Officer of PARTS iD. “In addition to the difficult year-over-year comparison, macroeconomic factors and global supply chain disruptions are impacting our current results. Despite the challenging operating environment, we remain focused on executing the initiatives aimed at strengthening our customer relationships, broadening our product and service offerings, and increasing brand awareness.”

The first quarter financial results show a continuation of the Company’s investment designed to increase revenue of its adjacent verticals, original equipment, and repair parts businesses. While these investments in the short term reduced overall margin, management remains confident that the opportunities in these markets bode well for long-term growth and profitability. To this end, during the first quarter of 2022, among other achievements, the Company further expanded its product catalog and established new direct-to-manufacturer relationships. In addition, the Company increased margins by 15.1% in the adjacent verticals and by 6.2% in repair parts and original equipment and enriched its fitment data in these categories. Furthermore, to complement its existing strength in the DIY segment, the Company continues to build an omnichannel customer experience to attract customers in the $225+ billion do-it-for-me (DIFM) segment of the industry by adding over 5,000 new locations to its tire installation network, a foundational step in capturing the DIFM market.

First Quarter 2022 Financial Results

First quarter 2022 revenue decreased 13.0% to $94.9 million, compared to $109.1 in the first quarter of 2021. This decrease was attributable to a 14.9% decline in traffic and a 13.9% decrease in the conversion rate, partially offset by a 9.4% increase in average order value.

Gross profit for the first quarter of 2022 decreased to $18.5 million compared to $22.8 million in the same prior year period. Gross margin was 19.5% for the first quarter of 2022 compared to 20.9% in the first quarter of 2021. The decrease in gross margin was attributable to a year-over-year increase in product and shipping costs associated with the ongoing global supply chain disruptions and change in the product category revenue mix.

Operating expenses were $23.3 million for the first quarter of 2022 compared to $23.6 million for the first quarter of 2021. The decrease in operating expenses was primarily attributable to $0.8 million decline in advertising expenses due to lower traffic and clicks, along with a $0.3 million decrease in public company costs and a $0.3 million decrease in merchant services provider processing fees, partially offset by a $0.8 million increase in non-cash share-based expenses. Operating expenses as a percent of net revenue were 24.6% compared to 21.7% in the same prior year period.

Operating loss for the first quarter of 2022 was $(4.8) million compared to $(0.8) million for the first quarter of 2021.

Net loss for the first quarter of 2022 was $(4.0) million compared to a net loss of $(0.6) million in the same prior year period.

Adjusted EBITDA was $(1.7) million in the first quarter of 2022 compared to $1.2 million in the same prior year period.

Balance Sheet

As of March 31, 2022, the company had cash of $15.8 million compared to $23.2 million at December 31, 2021. The decrease in cash was primarily driven by net cash used in operating activities of $5.5 million and cash used in investing activities of $1.9 million, primarily related to website and software development expenditures.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release includes non-GAAP financial measures that differ from financial measures calculated in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). These non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similar measures reported by other companies and should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, other measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. Management uses non-GAAP financial measures internally to evaluate the performance of the business. Additionally, management believes certain non-GAAP measures provide meaningful incremental information to investors to consider when evaluating the performance of the Company.

To this end, we provide EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, which are non-GAAP financial measures. EBITDA consists of net income (loss) plus (a) interest expense; (b) income tax provision (or less benefit); and (c) depreciation expense. Adjusted EBITDA consists of EBITDA plus stock compensation expense and other costs, fees, expenses, write offs and other items that do not impact the fundamentals of our operations, as described further below following the reconciliation of these metrics. Management believes these non-GAAP measures provide useful information to investors in their assessment of the performance of our business. The exclusion of certain expenses in calculating EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA facilitates operating performance comparisons on a period-to-period basis as these costs may vary independent of business performance. Accordingly, we believe that EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA provide useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our operating results in the same manner as our management and board of directors.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA have limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider these measures in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations are:

  • Although depreciation is a non-cash charge, the assets being depreciated may have to be replaced in the future, and EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect cash capital expenditure requirements for such replacements or for new capital expenditure requirements;
  • EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect changes in our working capital;
  • EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect income tax payments that may represent a reduction in cash available to us;
  • EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect depreciation and interest expenses associated with the lease financing obligations; and
  • Other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate Adjusted EBITDA differently, which reduces its usefulness as a comparative measure.

Because of these limitations, you should consider EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA alongside other financial performance measures, including various cash flow metrics, net income (loss) and our other GAAP results.

Reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are included in this press release.

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

All statements made in this press release relating to future financial or business performance, conditions, plans, prospects, trends, or strategies and other such matters, including without limitation, expected future performance, consumer adoption, anticipated success of our business model or the potential for long term profitable growth, are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. In addition, when or if used in this press release, the words “may,” “could,” “should,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “plan,” “predict,” “potential,” “confident,” “look forward,” “optimistic” and similar expressions and their variants, as they relate to us may identify forward-looking statements. We operate in a changing environment where new risks emerge from time to time and it is not possible for us to predict all risks that may affect us, particularly those associated with the COVID-19 pandemic and the conflict in Ukraine, which have had wide-ranging and continually evolving effects. We caution that these forward-looking statements are subject to numerous assumptions, risks, and uncertainties, which change over time, often quickly and in unanticipated ways.

Important factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements include risks and uncertainties, including without limitation: the ongoing conflict between Ukraine and Russia has affected and may continue to affect our business; competition and our ability to counter competition, including changes to the algorithms of Google and other search engines and related impacts on our revenue and advertisement expenses; the impact of health epidemics, including the COVID-19 pandemic, on our business and the actions we may take in response thereto; disruptions in the supply chain and associated impacts on demand, product availability, order cancellations and cost of goods sold including inflation; difficulties in managing our international business operations, particularly in the Ukraine, including with respect to enforcing the terms of our agreements with our contractors and managing increasing costs of operations; changes in our strategy, future operations, financial position, estimated revenues and losses, product pricing, projected costs, prospects and plans; the outcome of actual or potential litigation, complaints, product liability claims, or regulatory proceedings, and the potential adverse publicity related thereto; the implementation, market acceptance and success of our business model, expansion plans, opportunities and initiatives, including the market acceptance of our planned products and services; developments and projections relating to our competitors and industry; our expectations regarding our ability to obtain and maintain intellectual property protection and not infringe on the rights of others; our ability to maintain and enforce intellectual property rights and ability to maintain technology leadership; our future capital requirements; our ability to raise capital and utilize sources of cash; our ability to obtain funding for our operations; changes in applicable laws or regulations; the effects of current and future U.S. and foreign trade policy and tariff actions; disruptions in the marketplace for online purchases of aftermarket auto parts; costs related to operating as a public company; and the possibility that we may be adversely affected by other economic, business, and/or competitive factors.

Further information on the factors and risks that could cause actual results to differ from any forward-looking statements are contained in our filings with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), which are available at https://www.sec.gov (or at https://www.partsidinc.com).
