Paul Hennessy, Chief Executive Officer of Vroom, commented:

“Vroom had a strong fourth quarter, with significant year-over-year growth in our ecommerce business. Inventory and marketing are scaling as planned, which is increasing the velocity of the Vroom flywheel, driving conversion and increased sales and revenues. Consistent with our relentless focus on data science, we announced the acquisition of CarStory, a leader in AI-powered analytics and digital services for automotive retail, which closed in January 2021. As the used vehicle market continues to embrace the ecommerce model, we will continue to execute our plan and invest in scaling our business and improving our customer experience as we transform the market for buying and selling used vehicles.”

COVID-19 Update

Note: All sequential comparisons are on a fourth quarter over third quarter basis.

After the initial disruption in our ecommerce operations due to the COVID-19 pandemic, consumer demand for used vehicles now exceeds pre-COVID-19 levels and, in the quarter ended December 31, 2020, we experienced continued strong consumer demand for our ecommerce solutions and contact-free delivery. Ecommerce units sold increased sequentially 24.9% to 11,022 units and ecommerce revenue increased sequentially 28.5% to $285.0 million, both driven by increased consumer demand, higher inventory levels and increased marketing spend.

FOURTH QUARTER FINANCIAL DISCUSSION

All financial comparisons are for the fourth quarter on a year-over-year basis unless otherwise noted.

Fourth Quarter 2020

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased 45.3% to $78.1 million. The increase was primarily due to:

  • $7.9 million increase in compensation and benefits due to an increase in headcount, as well as a $3.7 million increase in stock-based compensation to $4.3 million;
  • $5.9 million increase in other selling, general and administrative expenses primarily related to additional insurance costs associated with being a publicly traded company and volume-based subscription fees as our business continues to scale;
  • $5.7 million increase in outbound logistics costs partially attributable to the growth in ecommerce units sold, which increased outbound logistics costs by $3.5 million, and increases in market rates of logistics providers, which increased outbound logistics costs by $2.2 million;
  • $2.7 million increase in professional fees primarily related to $2.1 million in costs related to the CarStory acquisition; and
  • $2.1 million increase in marketing expense as we expanded our national broad-reach advertising.

We expect selling, general and administrative expenses to increase in the future as we scale our business and sell more ecommerce units. We also will incur increased selling, general and administrative expenses as we continue to invest in and improve our customer experience and invest in expanding our proprietary logistics network, including our last-mile delivery operations.

Loss from Operations and Net Loss

Fourth Quarter 2020

Loss from operations increased 52.6% to $59.4 million. Net loss increased 41.9% to $60.7 million.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to our results determined in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, or GAAP, we believe the following non-GAAP financial measures are useful in evaluating our operating performance: EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted loss from operations, Non-GAAP net loss, Non-GAAP net loss per share and Non-GAAP net loss per share, as adjusted. 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 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 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 GAAP. Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.

We calculate EBITDA as net loss before interest expense, interest income, income tax expense and depreciation and amortization expense and we calculate Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA adjusted to exclude the one-time, IPO related acceleration of non-cash stock-based compensation expense, the one-time, IPO related non-cash revaluation of a preferred stock warrant, and acquisition related costs. We calculate Adjusted loss from operations as operating loss adjusted to exclude the one-time, IPO related acceleration of non-cash stock-based compensation expense and acquisition related costs and we calculate Non-GAAP net loss as net loss adjusted to exclude the one-time, IPO related acceleration of non-cash stock-based compensation expense, the one-time, IPO related non-cash revaluation of a preferred stock warrant, and acquisition related costs. We calculate Non-GAAP net loss per share as Non-GAAP net loss divided by weighted average number of shares outstanding.

EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted loss from operations, Non-GAAP net loss, Non-GAAP net loss per share and Non-GAAP net loss per share, as adjusted are supplemental performance measures that our management uses to assess our operating performance and the operating leverage in our business. Because EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted loss from operations, Non-GAAP net loss, Non-GAAP net loss per share and Non-GAAP net loss per share, as adjusted facilitate internal comparisons of our historical operating performance on a more consistent basis, we use these measures for business planning purposes. The following table presents a reconciliation of the Non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP, for each of the periods presented.

Financial Outlook

For the full year 2021, we expect triple digit year-over-year growth in ecommerce unit sales and more than 200% year-over-year growth in aggregate gross profit. For the first quarter 2021, we expect the following results:

  • Ecommerce unit sales of 14,000 to 14,500, implying year over year growth of 80% at the middle of the guidance range.
  • Average ecommerce selling price per unit of $25,000 to $26,000 and average ecommerce gross profit per unit of $1,750 to $1,850.
  • Wholesale unit sales of 7,000 to 8,000, average selling price per unit of $12,000 to $13,000 and average gross loss per unit of $(450) to $(600).
  • TDA unit sales of 1,400 to 1,500, average selling price per unit of $25,000 to $26,000 and average gross profit per unit of $1,300 to $1,400.
  • Total revenue of $500 to $529 million.
  • Total gross profit of $24 to $28 million.
  • EBITDA* of $(80) to $(88) million.
  • Stock-based compensation expense of $3.7 million.
  • Net loss per share of $(0.61) to $(0.68).

*A reconciliation of non-GAAP guidance measures to corresponding GAAP measures for our first quarter 2021 Financial Outlook is not available on a forward-looking basis without unreasonable effort due to the uncertainty regarding, and the potential variability of, these costs and expenses that may be incurred in the future. We have provided a reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures for fourth quarter 2020 in the reconciliation table in the Non-GAAP Financial Measures section above.

We expect the following number of GAAP weighted average shares outstanding for the first quarter and the full year 2021:
