Dear Shareholders,
2025 was another exceptional year full of exciting results and significant milestones.
We grew retail units by 43% and sold just shy of 600,000 cars. We crossed $20 billion in annual revenue. We crossed $1 billion in Net Income and $2 billion in Adjusted EBITDA. And we completed our 5 millionth customer transaction.
These are big numbers that are growing fast.
And they all come from the same root. 13 years and $10 billion invested ago, our team set a clear vision to achieve a big goal. And then we just kept marching.
We believed that by building a fundamentally different business we could deliver fundamentally different customer experiences and fundamentally different financial results.
Today, our progress validates that belief. We are the most profitable automotive retailer by a factor of two and the fastest growing by a long way.
Our success is driven by a simple principle: everything we do starts with the customer, and we work backward from there. We are built to deliver simpler, faster, more confidence-inspiring transactions that deliver greater value with greater selection.
Even with all of our progress, we still have the headroom of many early-stage startups. At a scale of ~600,000 sales per year, we represent just 1.6% of used car sales and 1% of overall U.S. car sales. Even our next milestone goal of selling 3 million cars annually represents only 7.5% of the used car market.
Meanwhile, the market around us looks very similar to the way it did on day one. At that point, the entire market was held by many thousands of traditional retailers, each delivering similar experiences with similar structural economics to one another. Along the way, several companies, including Carvana, sought to build a different kind of business model that would deliver different kinds of experiences and results. Our collective learnings demonstrate just how difficult it is to build a business like ours.
And today, we are, once again, competing almost exclusively with traditional retailers, only now, Carvana is operating at scale and our model’s competitive differentiation is proven and growing.
Our business gets better as it gets bigger - not just in the results it drives but in the customer experiences it delivers. 30% of our retail customers and 60% of customers selling us their car now choose to do so without talking to anyone at Carvana prior to delivery or pickup because our tools are simple and confidence inspiring. As we added more inventory pools, logistics routes, and network density in 2025, our average delivery time fell by a full day year-over-year and customers paid lower shipping fees. Our growth enabled us to expand customer selection by 20,000 cars compared to a year ago. And the fundamental gains we achieved in the last year also meant that we were able to pass more value on to our customers in the form of lower interest rates.
Compared to just one year ago, our customers are more likely to find the exact car they are looking for, they can have that car delivered faster, and they spend less money to get it.
We delivered all that value, grew rapidly, and improved our financial performance at the same time because of the positive feedback inherent in our business and we plan to get much bigger and much better from here.
We are the fastest growing and most profitable automotive retailer.
The path to selling 3 million cars per year at 13.5% Adjusted EBITDA margins by 2030 to 2035 is clear.
We still have the same team that got us here working with the same vision, the same enthusiasm, the same intensity, and the same ambition that we had at the beginning.
And we remain on a mission to change the way people buy and sell cars.

Outlook
In 2025, we focused on three key objectives: (i) significant growth in retail units and Adjusted EBITDA, (ii) fundamental gains in unit economics and customer experience, and (iii) developing foundational capabilities.
We made significant progress in all three areas in 2025, highlighted by record units, industry-leading margins, multi-year high customer NPS, and expanded integrated reconditioning and digital auction capabilities.
In 2026, we plan to maintain these priorities while placing additional weight on driving significant, profitable growth at scale.
Looking forward, we expect significant growth in both retail units sold and Adjusted EBITDA in full year 2026, including a sequential increase in both retail units sold and Adjusted EBITDA in Q1 2026, assuming the environment remains stable.
Net income in Q4 2025 and FY 2025 were positively impacted by ~$685 million each period associated with the release of our valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets and recording of the full tax receivable agreement liability. Additionally, Net income in Q4 2025 and FY 2025 were negatively impacted by ~$67 million and ~$64 million, respectively, associated with changes in the fair value of our warrants to acquire Root common stock.
In order to clearly demonstrate our progress and highlight the most meaningful drivers within our business, we continue to use forecasted Non-GAAP financial measures, including forecasted Adjusted EBITDA. We have not provided a quantitative reconciliation of forecasted GAAP measures to forecasted Non-GAAP measures within this communication because we are unable, without making unreasonable efforts, to forecast fair value changes or calculate one-time or restructuring expenses. These items could materially affect the computation of forward-looking Net Income (loss).
Fourth Quarter Results
Retail units sold reached a new company record of 163,522, driven by strong customer demand for our differentiated offering. We grew retail units 43% year-over-year, significantly outpacing our industry, which was approximately flat year-over-year.
In order to support such significant growth, we successfully scaled operations across the business but saw three primary drivers leading Retail GPU to be outside of the normal range of sequential seasonal changes we were expecting.
The first driver was the result of a favorable operational trend. Strong execution from our fulfillment team, combined with the expansion of new inventory pools, reduced our average outbound shipping distance as more customers purchased vehicles closer to them. This lower shipping distance flowed through to customers in the form of lower shipping fees, while also generating operations expense savings in SG&A.
The second was an opportunity for better execution. Reconditioning costs came in higher than our expectations, particularly in locations with the lowest management tenure. We see clear opportunities to make management of our large-scale production facilities simpler and more data-driven, much like we have done for associate and line lead workflows through our proprietary Carli software. We believe this can lower reconditioning costs over time as we scale. As a point of reference, if all production locations had per unit costs in line with the top quartile of locations, our total reconditioning cost per unit would have been ~$220 lower in Q4.
Finally, retail depreciation rates increased sequentially more than last year, leading to an additional impact on Retail GPU.
We expect to see elevated reconditioning costs again in Q1, but expect a sequential increase in Retail GPU in Q1.
Overall, our results in Q4 continued our industry leadership in both growth and profitability, marking another step toward our goal of becoming the largest and most profitable auto retailer and buying and selling millions of cars.
All data points are as of Q4 2025 or most recently reported fiscal quarter.
Net income margin in Q4 2025 was positively impacted by a net 11.0% benefit associated with the release of our valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets and recording of the full tax receivable agreement liability and changes in the fair value of our warrants to acquire Root common stock. Note that Carvana Net income margin is not to scale.
Progress On Our Path to 3 Million Units
In 2025, we set a goal to sell 3 million retail units annually at a 13.5% Adjusted EBITDA margin within the next 5 to 10 years (for clarity, we will now refer to this as 2030 to 2035). When we announced this goal, we estimated that we would need to grow at 20% to 40% annually to achieve our goal by 2030 or 2035. In 2025, we grew at 43% year-over-year. As a result, the annual growth rates required to achieve our goal are now 18% to 38%.
In 2025, we increased Adjusted EBITDA margin to 11%, up from 10.1% in 2024. We see a clear path to our target of 13.5% through: 1) fixed cost overhead leverage and 2) driving our company-wide advertising efficiency to mature market levels. We also see significant opportunities to keep improving unit economics, but as we achieve them, we expect to pass back many of these fundamental gains to customers, further differentiating our offering.
Our growth in 2025 was again driven by our three fundamental drivers: 1) continuously improving our customer offering, 2) increasing awareness, understanding, and trust, and 3) increasing inventory selection and other benefits of scale. In 2025, we made meaningful progress across each area. Below are a few examples.
1)We continue to improve our customer offering.
In 2025, we further integrated our technology and operations to deliver even better customer experiences. Below is an example of how we’re improving Customer Care with AI.
Our AI brain sits flexibly atop multiple leading-edge foundation models, while leveraging proprietary, real-time data from our home-built systems containing inventory information, finance terms, vehicle valuations, state, local, and Carvana-specific policies, labor optimization algorithms, and much more. Within Customer Care, it uses that deep context to serve up personalized responses that enable both AI agents and Advocates to deliver consistent, high-quality, personalized support.
Customer Care tools powered by our AI brain have driven meaningful customer experience gains: more than 30% of car buyers and 60% of car sellers now complete the entire process without interacting with a Customer Advocate until their delivery or pickup. This growing subset of customers is higher converting and has a higher reported Net Promoter Score.
When customers do choose to interact with an Advocate, the same brain powers tools that help our team deliver efficient, personalized support. A new example is Heads Up, a proprietary tool that synthesizes the customer’s past and real-time actions in a simple interface to ensure Advocates are equipped with the most relevant and personalized information for each customer’s specific journey.
Heads Up enhances customer experiences and operational performance by driving consistency and accelerating Advocate proficiency. Looking forward, we will continue to refine and enhance our customer-facing technology to make buying from or selling to Carvana as intuitive and convenient as possible.
2)We continue to increase awareness, understanding and trust.
In 2025, we invested more in advertising and launched new campaigns to expand our reach and educate customers. After more than a decade of building what we believe is the best way to buy or sell a car, there are still many people who are not familiar with Carvana, underscoring our opportunity.
Beyond advertising, word of mouth is a powerful and compounding driver of growth. A recent third party survey indicates that ~70% of Carvana car buyers were influenced by a friend or family member’s recommendation. Among those influenced, just under half said this recommendation was the primary driver of their choice. That same survey showed that roughly three quarters of Carvana customers recommended us to two or more people, with 7% recommending Carvana to ten or more people.
High-quality, efficiently-deployed advertising campaigns have always been essential to brand building, but this data also underscores the importance of delivering great experiences to more and more customers over time. With more than 5 million customer transactions to date and more customer touchpoints every day, we are just getting started.
3)We continue to build selection and leverage benefits of scale.
In 2025, we continued to unlock the power of our infrastructure, growing our total number of inventory pools from 24 to 34. With more than 75,000 vehicles available on our website at year-end, we offer our broadest selection ever, making it more likely that we have the exact vehicle a customer is looking for.
By growing inventory across geographies we also put more cars closer to more customers, shortening average delivery times by a full day year-over-year and increasing the share of customers with access to as-soon-as same-day delivery.
Each growth driver strengthens the others, creating a compounding cycle with scale. A great customer experience drives positive word of mouth, organic demand, and efficient acquisition, which supports broader selection, faster delivery, and lower per unit costs. The resulting gains can be passed back to further improve the customer experience, leading to further growth. These drivers fueled our growth in 2025, and we expect them to continue to fuel us as we march towards selling 3 million retail units and beyond.
“Carvana Consumer Survey Volume 13” conducted by Bespoke Market Intelligence October 2025. Electronic survey conducted over a large population (N = 10,000) to gather consumer feedback towards Carvana and competitive brands. Base: n=384 respondents who said that they purchased a car from Carvana, Question: “To what extent do a friend or family member’s recommendation of Carvana influence your decision to buy from Carvana?”
“Carvana Consumer Survey Volume 14” conducted by Bespoke Market Intelligence February 2026. Electronic survey conducted over a large population (N = 10,000) to gather consumer feedback towards Carvana and competitive brands. Base: n=647 respondents who said that they purchased a car from Carvana, Question: “Have you recommended the following to any people?”
Expanding Production Capacity
One of the key drivers of our growth to 3 million annual retail units sold is expanding production capacity. In 2025, we integrated 10 additional ADESA production locations, including one in Q4, bringing our total to 16 integrations since we began our rollout in Q2 2024.
We now have fully built out annual capacity for approximately 1.5 million retail units, with real estate to support annual retail production of 3 million retail units.
We plan to execute four key production strategies over time to drive to 3 million units and beyond: 1) increasing staffing at existing facilities, 2) integrating retail production lines at more ADESA facilities, 3) building new lines at ADESA facilities, and 4) eventually, building new greenfield production locations, with the latter being less of a priority in the near term.
In 2026, we plan to continue integrating existing ADESA sites with a target of 6 to 8 new integrations, while also beginning full buildouts at select ADESA locations. We currently expect ADESA full buildouts to cost an average of $30 to $35 million per site and to unlock an average of ~40k units of annual production capacity per site. We plan to start construction on the first full buildout sites in Q2 2026 and to launch production capabilities in early 2027.
Looking forward we will continue investing in our infrastructure ahead of future growth. By building excess reconditioning capacity, we benefit from near-term operational flexibility while laying a clear foundation to support growth over the medium and long term.
Summary
2025 was another incredible year that can be summed up simply.
We rapidly grew units. We improved our offering. We passed value back to our customers in the form of lower interest rates, lower shipping fees, faster delivery, and broader selection. And while doing all that, we also improved our own financial performance.
That summary is basically the dream we started with. It’s something we’re extremely proud of.
But we are nowhere near satisfied.
The march continues,

Appendix I:
GPU and SG&A Expense Detail
Year-over-year changes in components of Total GPU and Total SG&A Expense per Unit were driven by the factors outlined below.
Additional Details
The year-over-year decrease in Retail GPU was primarily driven by higher non-vehicle costs, lower shipping fee revenue (resulting from more customers choosing cars closer to them, which benefits operations expenses), and higher industry-wide retail depreciation rates.
The year-over-year decrease in Wholesale Marketplace GPU was driven by two primary factors. First, growth in retail units sold significantly outpaced growth in wholesale marketplace units sold, leading to a mechanical per retail unit impact of ~$140 per retail unit sold. Second, as we expanded ADESA Clear nationwide, we shifted our wholesale marketplace unit mix into units sold by Carvana and away from units sold by third-parties. The majority of revenue and gross profit on marketplace units sold by Carvana is included in Wholesale Vehicle sales and gross profit, contributing to Wholesale Vehicle gross profit growth but leading to lower Wholesale Marketplace gross profit, other things being equal.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
As appropriate, we supplement our results of operations determined in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) with certain non-GAAP financial measurements that are used by management, and which we believe are useful to investors, as supplemental operational measurements to evaluate our financial performance. These measurements should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for reported GAAP results because they may include or exclude certain items as compared to similar GAAP-based measurements, and such measurements may not be comparable to similarly-titled measurements reported by other companies. Rather, these measurements should be considered as an additional way of viewing aspects of our operations that provide a more complete understanding of our business. We strongly encourage investors to review our consolidated financial statements included in publicly filed reports in their entirety and not rely solely on any one, single financial measurement or communication.
Reconciliations of our non-GAAP measurements to their most directly comparable GAAP-based financial measurements are included at the end of this letter.

LIQUIDITY RESOURCES
(Unaudited)
We had the following committed liquidity resources, secured debt capacity, and other unpledged assets available as of December 31, 2025 and 2024:
| December 31, |
|---|
| 2025 | 2024 |
|---|
| (in millions) |
|---|
| Cash and cash equivalents | $2,327 | | $1,716 | |
| Availability under short-term revolving facilities | 2,052 | | 1,879 | |
| Committed liquidity resources available | $4,379 | | $3,595 | |
| Super senior debt capacity | 1,500 | | 1,500 | |
| Pari passu senior debt capacity | 750 | | 485 | |
| Unpledged beneficial interests in securitizations | 110 | | 110 | |
| Total liquidity resources | $6,739 | | $5,690 | |
(1) Availability under short-term revolving facilities is the available amount we can borrow under the Floor Plan Facility and Finance Receivable Facilities based on the value of pledgeable vehicle inventory and finance receivables on our balance sheet on the period end date. Availability under short-term revolving facilities is distinct from the total commitment amount of these facilities because it represents the amount we are able to borrow as of period end, rather than committed future amounts that could be borrowed to finance future additional assets.
(2) Super senior debt capacity and pari passu senior debt capacity represents basket capacity to incur additional debt that could be senior or pari passu in lien priority as to the collateral securing the obligations under the Senior Secured Notes, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the indentures governing the Senior Secured Notes. The availability of such additional sources depends on many factors and there can be no assurance that financing alternatives will be available to us in the future.
(3) Unpledged beneficial interests in securitizations includes retained beneficial interests in securitizations that have not been previously pledged or sold. We historically have financed the majority of our retained beneficial interests in securitizations and expect to continue to do so in the future.
(4) Our total liquidity potential is composed of cash and cash equivalents, availability under existing credit facilities, additional capacity under the indentures governing our Senior Secured Notes, which allow us to incur additional debt that can be senior or pari passu in lien priority as to the collateral securing the obligations under the Senior Secured Notes, and additional unpledged securities that can be financed using traditional asset-based financing sources.

RECONCILIATION OF GAAP TO NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
(Unaudited)
Adjusted EBITDA; Adjusted EBITDA margin; Gross profit, non-GAAP; Retail gross profit, non-GAAP; Wholesale gross profit, non-GAAP; Wholesale vehicle gross profit, non-GAAP; Wholesale marketplace gross profit, non-GAAP; Other gross profit, non-GAAP; Total gross profit per retail unit, non-GAAP; Retail gross profit per retail unit, non-GAAP; Wholesale gross profit per retail unit, non-GAAP; Wholesale vehicle gross profit per retail unit, non-GAAP; Wholesale marketplace gross profit per retail unit, non-GAAP; Other gross profit per retail unit, non-GAAP; SG&A expenses, non-GAAP; and Total SG&A expenses per retail unit, non-GAAP
The above measures are supplemental measures of operating performance that do not represent and should not be considered an alternative to net income (loss), gross profit, or SG&A expenses, as determined by GAAP.
Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) plus (minus) income tax (benefit) provision, interest expense, net, other operating expense, net, other expense (income), net, depreciation and amortization expense in cost of sales and SG&A expenses, share-based compensation expense in cost of sales and SG&A expenses, goodwill impairment, and loss (gain) on debt extinguishment, minus revenue related to our Warrants. Adjusted EBITDA margin is Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of total revenues.
Gross profit, non-GAAP, Retail gross profit, non-GAAP, Wholesale gross profit, non-GAAP, Wholesale vehicle gross profit, non-GAAP, Wholesale marketplace gross profit, non-GAAP, and Other gross profit, non-GAAP are defined as the respective GAAP gross profits plus depreciation and amortization expense in cost of sales, share-based compensation expense in cost of sales, and restructuring expense in cost of sales, minus revenue related to our Root Warrants. Total gross profit per retail unit, non-GAAP, Retail gross profit per retail unit, non-GAAP, Wholesale gross profit per retail unit, non-GAAP, Wholesale vehicle gross profit per retail unit, non-GAAP, Wholesale marketplace gross profit per retail unit, non-GAAP, and Other gross profit per retail unit, non-GAAP are the respective gross profits, non-GAAP divided by retail vehicle unit sales.
SG&A expenses, non-GAAP is defined as GAAP SG&A expenses minus depreciation and amortization expense in SG&A expenses, share-based compensation expense in SG&A expenses, and restructuring expense in SG&A expenses. Total SG&A expenses per retail unit, non-GAAP is SG&A expenses, non-GAAP divided by retail vehicle unit sales.
We use these non-GAAP measures to measure the operating performance of our business as a whole and relative to our total revenues and retail vehicle unit sales. We believe that these metrics are useful measures to us and to our investors because they exclude certain financial, capital structure, and non-cash items that we do not believe directly reflect our core operations and may not be indicative of our recurring operations, in part because they may vary widely across time and within our industry independent of the performance of our core operations. We believe that excluding these items enables us to more effectively evaluate our performance period-over-period and relative to our competitors. These non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures provided by other companies due to potential differences in methods of calculations.
A reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net income (loss), Gross profit, non-GAAP to gross profit, Retail gross profit, non-GAAP to retail gross profit, Wholesale gross profit, non-GAAP to wholesale gross profit, Wholesale vehicle gross profit, non-GAAP to wholesale vehicle gross profit, Wholesale marketplace gross profit, non-GAAP to wholesale marketplace gross profit, Other gross profit, non-GAAP to other gross profit, and SG&A expenses, non-GAAP to SG&A expenses, which are the most directly comparable GAAP measures, and calculations of Adjusted EBITDA margin, Total gross profit per retail unit, non-GAAP, Retail gross profit per retail unit, non-GAAP, Wholesale gross profit per retail unit, non-GAAP, Wholesale vehicle gross profit per retail unit, non-GAAP, Wholesale marketplace gross profit per retail unit, non-GAAP, Other gross profit per retail unit, non-GAAP, and Total SG&A expenses per retail unit, non-GAAP is as follows:

Record Full Year Net Income of $1.9 billion, up more than $1 billion YoY

Expects Significant Growth in Retail Units Sold and Adjusted EBITDA in FY 2026 and Sequential Increase in Retail Units Sold and Adjusted EBITDA in Q1
PHOENIX - (Feb. 18, 2026) - Carvana (NYSE: CVNA), a leading e-commerce platform for buying and selling cars, today announced financial results for the full year and quarter ended December 31, 2025. Carvana’s complete fourth quarter and fiscal year 2025 financial results and management commentary are available in the company’s shareholder letter on the quarterly results page of its Investor Relations website.
"In 2025, Carvana grew 43% year-over-year, delivered record unit economics, and passed significant value back to customers through better selection, faster delivery times, and lower costs. Achieving all of this at once is rare and speaks to the powerful positive feedback our model generates as we grow. Carvana is still very small relative to our opportunity, but with 5 million cumulative customer transactions and counting, we are actively changing the way people buy and sell cars," said Ernie Garcia, Carvana founder and CEO. "We remain firmly on track to our goal of selling 3 million retail units a year at a 13.5% Adjusted EBITDA margin by 2030 to 2035."
Q4 and Full Year 2025 Highlights
In 2025, Carvana sold 596,641 retail units (+43% YoY) for a record total annual Revenue of $20.322 billion (+49% YoY) while reaching new profitability milestones, including:
- Full year record Net income of $1.895 billion and Net income margin of 9.3%
- Net income included a net non-cash benefit of $621 million
- Full year record Adjusted EBITDA of $2.237 billion and Adjusted EBITDA margin of 11.0%
- Full year record GAAP Operating Income of $1.881 billion and Operating margin of 9.3%
In Q4, Carvana sold 163,522 retail units (+43%) for a record total Q4 Revenue of $5.603 billion (+58%) while reaching new profitability milestones, including:
- Q4 record Net income of $951 million and Net income margin of 17.0%
- Net income included a net non-cash benefit of $618 million
- Q4 record Adjusted EBITDA of $511 million and Adjusted EBITDA margin of 9.1%
- Q4 record GAAP Operating Income of $424 million and Operating margin of 7.6%
Net income in FY 2025 was positively impacted by ~$685 million associated with the release of our valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets and recording of the full tax receivable agreement liability. Additionally, Net income for FY 2025 and Q4 2025 was negatively impacted by ~$64 and ~$67 million, respectively, associated with changes in the fair value of our warrants to acquire Root common stock.
In order to clearly demonstrate our progress and highlight the most meaningful drivers within our business, we continue to use forecasted Non-GAAP financial measures, including forecasted Adjusted EBITDA. We have not provided a quantitative reconciliation of forecasted GAAP measures to forecasted Non-GAAP measures within this communication because we are unable, without making unreasonable efforts, to forecast fair value changes or calculate one-time or restructuring expenses. These items could materially affect the computation of forward-looking Net income (loss).
Outlook
In 2025, Carvana focused on three key objectives: (i) significant growth in retail units and Adjusted EBITDA, (ii) fundamental gains in unit economics and customer experience, and (iii) developing foundational capabilities.
Carvana made significant progress in all three areas in 2025, highlighted by record units, industry-leading margins, multi-year high customer NPS, and expanded integrated reconditioning and digital auction capabilities.
In 2026, Carvana plans to maintain these priorities while placing additional weight on driving significant profitable growth at scale.
Looking forward, Carvana expects significant growth in both retail units sold and Adjusted EBITDA in full year 2026, including a sequential increase in both retail units sold and Adjusted EBITDA in Q1 2026, assuming the environment remains stable.

Forward-looking statements include all statements that are not historical facts, including expectations regarding our operational and efficiency initiatives and gains; our strategy, expected gross profit per unit; forecasted results, including forecasted Adjusted EBITDA and forecasted retail units sold; potential infrastructure capacity utilization; efficiency gains and opportunities to improve our results, including opportunities to increase our margins and reduce our expenses, trends or expectations regarding inventory, expected customer patterns and demand; expectations on anticipated timing of increased production output; potential benefits from and expectations regarding new technology, including the use of artificial intelligence; anticipated benefits of integrations, including relating to ADESA; our long-term financial goals; fiscal year 2026 budget items; unexpected macroeconomic conditions, including geopolitical, trade, and regulatory uncertainty and commodity prices; and growth opportunities.

Accordingly, there are or will be important factors that could cause actual outcomes or results to differ materially from those indicated in these statements. Among these factors are risks related to: the larger automotive ecosystem, including consumer demand, global supply chain challenges, and other macroeconomic issues (including with respect to the impact of tariffs on our business); our ability to utilize our available infrastructure capacity and realize the expected benefits therefrom, including increased margins and lower expenses; the benefits from our initiatives relating to ADESA; our ability to scale up our business; our ability to raise additional capital and our substantial indebtedness; our ability to effectively manage our rapid growth; our ability to maintain customer service quality and reputational integrity and enhance our brand; the seasonal and other fluctuations in our quarterly and annual operating results; our relationship with DriveTime and its affiliates; the highly competitive industry in which we participate, which among other consequences, could impact our long-term growth opportunities; the changes in prices of new and used vehicles; our ability to acquire and expeditiously sell desirable inventory; our ability to grow complementary product and service offerings; our use of artificial intelligence technology; and the other risks identified under the “Risk Factors” section in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025.
In order to clearly demonstrate our progress and highlight the most meaningful drivers within our business, we continue to use forecasted Non-GAAP financial measures, including forecasted Adjusted EBITDA. We have not provided a quantitative reconciliation of forecasted GAAP measures to forecasted Non-GAAP measures within this communication because we are unable, without making unreasonable efforts, to forecast fair value changes or calculate one-time or restructuring expenses. These items could materially affect the computation of forward-looking Net income (loss).
There is no assurance that any forward-looking statements will materialize. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which reflect expectations only as of this date.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement the consolidated financial measures, which are prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP, we also refer to the following non-GAAP measures in this press release: Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin.
Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income plus (minus) income tax (benefit), interest expense, net, other expense (income), net, loss on debt extinguishment, other operating expense, net, depreciation and amortization expense in cost of sales and SG&A expenses, and share-based compensation expense in cost of sales and SG&A expenses, minus revenue related to our warrants. Adjusted EBITDA margin is Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of total revenues.
We believe that these metrics are useful measures to us and to our investors because they exclude certain financial, capital structure, and non-cash items that we do not believe directly reflect our core operations and may not be indicative of our recurring operations, in part because they may vary widely across time and within our industry independent of the performance of our core operations. We believe that excluding these items enables us to more effectively evaluate our performance period-over-period and relative to our competitors.
