Insights

OPENLANE's Q4 and FY2024 results reveal a company successfully executing its digital transformation strategy. The standout performance comes from the Marketplace segment, where seven consecutive quarters of volume growth and a 15% increase in dealer volumes demonstrate strong product-market fit and expanding market share. This sustained growth isn't just about volume - the segment's 30% YoY EBITDA growth in Q4 indicates improving operational leverage and pricing power.

The company's asset-light digital model is proving highly scalable, with consolidated revenue growth of 12% YoY in Q4 translating into an even stronger 18% YoY growth in Adjusted EBITDA. This operating leverage is particularly evident in the $293 million operating cash flow, which equals the full-year Adjusted EBITDA, indicating excellent cash conversion and minimal working capital requirements.

The $27 billion in Gross Merchandise Value, growing at 12% YoY, underscores OPENLANE's significant market position in the wholesale vehicle market. The recent divestiture of the automotive key business streamlines the company's focus on its core digital marketplace and financing operations, where it's seeing the strongest growth and margin expansion. This strategic decision aligns with management's emphasis on marketplace go-to-market investments while maintaining financial discipline.

CARMEL, Ind., Feb. 19, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- OPENLANE, Inc. (NYSE: KAR), today reported its fourth quarter and annual financial results for the period ended December 31, 2024.

"OPENLANE delivered positive fourth quarter and full-year 2024 results, driven by another strong quarter in our marketplace business," said Peter Kelly, CEO. "The Marketplace grew year-over-year volume for the seventh straight quarter, including 15% growth in dealer volumes, and grew Adjusted EBITDA by an impressive 30%. Our customers are clearly responding to our unique offerings and our differentiated value proposition that delivers ease, speed and improved outcomes. We remain focused on our strategy – delivering the best marketplace, technology and customer experience, and are well positioned for continued growth."

"OPENLANE's consistent growth and financial performance clearly demonstrate the strong scalability characteristics of our asset-light, digital model," said Brad Lakhia, Chief Financial Officer. "Our culture of innovation, growth and financial discipline increased revenue, reduced cost and delivered $293 million in Adjusted EBITDA. We will continue to lean into our marketplace go-to-market investments to drive growth while leveraging our leading, high-performing finance business."

2025 Guidance


Annual

Guidance

Income from continuing operations (in millions)

$100 - $114

Adjusted EBITDA (in millions)

$290 - $310

Income from continuing operations per share - diluted *

$0.38 - $0.48

Operating adjusted net income from continuing operations per share - diluted

$0.90 - $1.00

*

The company uses the two-class method of calculating income from continuing operations per diluted share.

Under the two-class method, income from continuing operations is adjusted for dividends and undistributed

earnings (losses) to the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock, and the weighted average diluted shares do

not assume conversion of the preferred shares to common shares.

The December 2024 divestiture of the company's automotive key business is reflected in the 2025 guidance.

Earnings guidance does not contemplate future items such as business development activities, strategic developments (such as restructurings, spin-offs or dispositions of assets or investments), contingent purchase price adjustments, significant expenses related to litigation, tax adjustments, adverse changes in the value of foreign currencies relative to the U.S. dollar, changes in applicable laws and regulations (including significant accounting and tax matters) and intangible impairments. The timing and amounts of these items are highly variable, difficult to predict, and of a potential size that could have a substantial impact on the company's reported results for any given period. Prospective quantification of these items is generally not practicable. Operating adjusted net income from continuing operations per share excludes amortization expense associated with acquired intangible assets, as well as one-time charges, net of taxes. See reconciliations of the company's guidance included below.

OPENLANE, Inc.
Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, operating adjusted net income (loss) and operating adjusted net income (loss) per share as presented herein are supplemental measures of our performance that are not required by, or presented in accordance with, generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP"). They are not measurements of our financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as substitutes for net income (loss), operating profit (loss) or any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP. Management believes that these measures provide investors additional meaningful methods to evaluate certain aspects of the company's results period over period and for the other reasons set forth below.

EBITDA is defined as net income (loss), plus interest expense net of interest income, income tax provision (benefit), depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is EBITDA adjusted for the items of income and expense and expected incremental revenue and cost savings as described in our senior secured credit agreement covenant calculations. Management believes that the inclusion of supplementary adjustments to EBITDA applied in presenting Adjusted EBITDA is appropriate to provide additional information to investors about one of the principal measures of performance used by our creditors. In addition, management uses EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to evaluate our performance.

Depreciation expense for property and equipment and amortization expense of capitalized internally developed software costs relate to ongoing capital expenditures; however, amortization expense associated with acquired intangible assets, such as customer relationships, software, tradenames and noncompete agreements are not representative of ongoing capital expenditures, but have a continuing effect on our reported results. Non-GAAP financial measures of operating adjusted net income (loss) and operating adjusted net income (loss) per share, in the opinion of the company, provide comparability of the company's performance to other companies that may not have incurred these types of non-cash expenses or that report a similar measure. In addition, operating adjusted net income (loss) and operating adjusted net income (loss) per share may include adjustments for certain other charges.

EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, operating adjusted net income (loss) and operating adjusted net income (loss) per share have limitations as analytical tools, and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of the results as reported under GAAP. These measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

The following tables reconcile EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to income (loss) from continuing operations for the periods presented:

For the three months and years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, each tax deductible item was booked to the applicable statutory rate. The deferred tax benefits of $52.5 million and $6.5 million associated with the goodwill and tradename impairments in 2023, respectively, resulted in the U.S. being in a net deferred tax asset position. Due to the three-year cumulative loss related to U.S. operations, we currently have a $35.8 million valuation allowance against the U.S. net deferred tax asset.

(2)

The Series A Preferred Stock dividends and undistributed earnings allocated to participating securities have not been included in the determination of operating adjusted net income for purposes of calculating operating adjusted net income per diluted share.
