Insights

The reported financial results for Vroom, Inc. highlight a mix of growth in certain areas and significant challenges in others. The increase in Ecommerce units sold quarter-over-quarter indicates a successful expansion in this segment. However, the substantial net losses and negative Adjusted EBITDA figures for both the fourth quarter and the full year are concerning, suggesting operational inefficiencies or market challenges that are impacting profitability.

The company's liquidation of aged inventory and write-downs due to the discontinuance of ecommerce operations reflect a strategic pivot that could be aimed at reducing losses and focusing on more profitable segments. The convertible note repurchases at a discount could be a strategic move to manage debt and potentially improve the balance sheet. However, investors should closely monitor the company's cash burn rate and liquidity position, especially given the anticipated cash and cash equivalents for year-end 2024, which signals a significant decrease from the current level.

The automotive ecommerce industry is highly competitive, with several major players vying for market share. Vroom's decision to wind down its ecommerce operations may be a response to this intense competition and a strategy to optimize its business model. The growth in Ecommerce unit sales and Ecommerce gross profit per unit (GPPU) suggests that while the company was able to sell more units and increase profitability per unit, the overall strategy was not sustainable in the long term.

By focusing on the remaining businesses, United Auto Credit and CarStory, Vroom is likely aiming to leverage niche markets within the used vehicle sector. This pivot could be an attempt to differentiate from competitors and focus on areas with higher margins or less direct competition.

The automotive sector is sensitive to economic cycles and Vroom's performance must be contextualized within the broader economic environment. The substantial net losses reported may partly reflect macroeconomic headwinds such as fluctuating consumer demand, supply chain disruptions and increased competition, which can compress margins and elevate operational costs.

The reduction-in-force and other cost-cutting measures indicate a response to these economic pressures. The strategic focus on value maximization could be a prudent approach to navigating the current economic climate, especially if it leads to a leaner, more focused operation that can adapt to changing market conditions.

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.
