  1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited (the “Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements”). The Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related disclosures have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“GAAP”). Any reference in these notes to applicable guidance is meant to refer to GAAP as found in the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) and Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”).

The Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have also been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. The Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for the fair presentation of the Company’s financial statements for interim periods. These interim period results are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any other interim period or the full year.

The Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, filed with the SEC on February 20, 2025 (the “Annual Report”).

Principles of Consolidation

The Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Subsequent Event Considerations

The Company considers events or transactions that occur after the balance sheet date but prior to the issuance of the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements to provide additional evidence for certain estimates or to identify matters that require additional disclosure. The Company has evaluated all subsequent events and determined that there are no material recognized or unrecognized subsequent events requiring disclosure.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expense during the reporting period.

Although the Company regularly assesses these estimates, actual results could differ materially from these estimates. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and various other assumptions that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from management’s estimates if these results differ from historical experience, or other assumptions do not turn out to be substantially accurate, even if such assumptions are reasonable when made. Changes in estimates are recognized in the period in which they become known.

Critical estimates relied upon in preparing the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the determination of sales allowance and variable consideration in the Company’s revenue recognition, the impairment and useful lives of long-lived assets, the capitalization and useful lives of product, technology, and development costs for website development, internal-use software, and hosting arrangements, and the valuation and recoverability of intangible assets and goodwill. Accordingly, the Company considers these to be its critical accounting estimates, and believes that of the Company’s significant accounting policies, these involve the greatest degree of judgment and complexity.

Due to the partial impairment of the CarOffer reporting unit goodwill and other long-lived assets during the year ended December 31, 2024, in which the CarOffer reporting unit was reduced to its fair value, there remains a risk for future impairment charges if projected future operating results further decline, including as a result of economic conditions or operational challenges, which could be material and negatively affect its operations.

Concentration of Credit Risk

The Company has no significant off-balance sheet risk, such as foreign exchange contracts, option contracts, or other foreign hedging arrangements. Financial instruments that potentially expose the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash, cash equivalents, trade accounts receivable, and other receivables.

The Company maintains its cash and cash equivalents, principally with accredited financial institutions of high credit standing. Although the Company deposits its cash and cash equivalents with multiple financial institutions, its deposits with each such financial institution exceed governmental insured limits.

The Company routinely assesses the creditworthiness of its customers and does not require collateral. The Company generally has not experienced any material losses related to receivables from individual customers or groups of customers.

The Company had no material losses related to marketplace receivables as the losses were dispersed across a large number of customers. The Company had no material losses related to wholesale and product receivables as the third-party transaction processor does not release the title to the vehicle until successfully collecting funds from the buying dealer. Titling is handled by the Company’s third-party transaction processor and titles are held in escrow until it collects funds from the buying dealer (i.e., title is legally transferred from the selling party to the buying party upon signing of bill of sale, but title is held in escrow by the third-party transaction processor until payment is received). Due to these factors, no additional credit risk beyond amounts provided for collection losses was believed by management to be probable in the Company’s accounts receivable and other receivables.

As of March 31, 2025, apayment processor for several hundred dealer accounts represented 10.6% of net accounts receivable and other receivables. The related accounts receivable balance included unbilled and billed receivables that are not past due. The concentration was driven by the timing of payments pursuant to the agreement with the payment processor, as well as a decrease in the total accounts receivable, net balance as of March 31, 2025. The remainder of the accounts receivable was dispersed among more than 1,000 customers. Therefore, the Company does not believe there is significant credit risk with respect to accounts receivable. As of December 31, 2024, there wasno concentration in excess of 10% of net accounts receivable and other receivables.

For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, no customer accounted for more than 10% of total revenue.

As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, $13,663 and $13,213, respectively, was included in accounts receivable, net representing unbilled accounts receivable relating primarily to both advertising customers and dealers invoiced in the period subsequent to services rendered and revenue recognition adjustments for Company offered discounts given to dealers in accordance with ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers(“ASC 606”).

Significant Accounting Policies

The Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements reflect the application of certain significant accounting policies as described below and elsewhere in these notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. As of March 31, 2025, there have been no material changes in the Company’s significant accounting policies, which are detailed in the Annual Report.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the FASB or other standard-setting bodies and adopted by the Company on or prior to the specified effective date. Unless otherwise disclosed below, the Company believes that the impact of recently issued standards that are not yet effective will not have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations upon adoption. As of March 31, 2025, there are no new accounting pronouncements that the Company is considering adopting, other than those described below.

In November 2024 the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income-Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses (“ASU 2024-03”). ASU 2024-03 is intended to provide more detailed expense information and requires additional disaggregated disclosures in the notes to the financial statements for categories of expenses that are included on the face of the income statement. ASU 2024-03 is effective for the fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. ASU 2024-03 may be applied either prospectively to financial statements issued for periods after the effective date of ASU 2024-03 or retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the consolidated financial statements. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2024-03 on its future consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In December 2023 the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures(“ASU 2023-09”). ASU 2023-09 is intended to enhance the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures. ASU 2023-09 addresses investor requests for enhanced income tax information primarily through changes to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid information. Early adoption is permitted. A public entity should apply ASU 2023-09 prospectively to all annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2023-09 on its future consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

  1. Revenue Recognition

For thethree months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, revenue from contracts with customers by services and products was as follows:

Three Months Ended March 31,
20252024
Marketplace$212,235$187,219
Dealer-to-Dealer8,16518,499
Sell My Car - Instant Max Cash Offer4,75810,078
Total$225,158$215,796

The Company provides disaggregation of revenue by services and products, by income statement presentation, by segment, and by geographic region.

Revenue by services and products is disaggregated by (i) marketplace services, (ii) Dealer-to-Dealer services and products, and (iii) Sell My Car - Instant Max Cash Offer (“IMCO”) services and products, as disclosed above.

Revenue by income statement presentation is disaggregated by (i) marketplace, (ii) wholesale, and (iii) product revenue sources, as disclosed in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Income Statements. Marketplace services are included within marketplace revenue in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Income Statements. Dealer-to-Dealer and IMCO services and products are included within both wholesale revenue and product revenue in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Income Statements.

Revenue by segment is disaggregated by (i) U.S. Marketplace and (ii) Digital Wholesale segments, as disclosed in Note 12 of the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Marketplace services are included in the U.S. Marketplace segment and in the Other category of segment reporting. Dealer-to-Dealer and IMCO services and products are included in the Digital Wholesale segment.

Revenue by geographic region is disaggregated by (i) U.S. and (ii) International regions as disclosed in Note 12 of the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Marketplace services are provided in the U.S. and International regions. Dealer-to-Dealer and IMCO services and products are provided in the U.S. region.

The Company believes these categories best depict how the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors.

ASC 606 requires that the Company disclose the aggregate amount of transaction price that is allocated to performance obligations that have not yet been satisfied as of the relevant quarter end.

For contracts with an original expected duration greater than one year, the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to the performance obligations that were unsatisfied as of March 31, 2025, was approximately$67.8 million, which the Company expects to recognize over the next 12 months.

For contracts with an original expected duration of one year or less, the Company has applied the practical expedient available under ASC 606 to not disclose the amount of transaction price allocated to unsatisfied performance obligations as of March 31, 2025. For performance obligations not satisfied as of March 31, 2025, and to which this expedient applies, the nature of the performance obligations, the variable consideration, and any consideration from contracts with customers not included in the transaction price is consistent with performance obligations satisfied as of March 31, 2025.

For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, revenue recognized from amounts included in deferred revenue at the beginning of the period was$21,661 and$21,322, respectively.

During the three months ended March 31, 2025, furniture and fixtures, and leasehold improvements decreased$3,654 and$9,800, respectively, due to disposals of fully depreciated assets within the U.S. Marketplace segment related to the expiration of the lease of office space at 55 Cambridge Parkway.

For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, depreciation and amortization expense, excluding amortization of intangible assets, amortization of capitalized hosting arrangements, and disposals, was$6,049 and$5,599, respectively.

  1. Accrued Expenses, Accrued Income Taxes, and Other Current Liabilities

As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, accrued expenses, accrued income taxes, and other current liabilities consisted of the following:

As ofMarch 31,2025As ofDecember 31,2024

Other accrued expenses, accrued income taxes, and other current liabilities20,86513,780
Total$32,240$35,975

The decrease of$10,987 in accrued bonus was due to the payout of the second portion of the fiscal year 2024 bonuses in the first quarter of 2025, offset in part by the accrual for the fiscal year 2025 bonuses.

  1. Debt

As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company hadno long-term debt outstanding.

Revolving Credit Facility

On September 26, 2022, the Company entered into a Credit Agreement with PNC Bank, National Association, as administrative agent and collateral agent and an L/C Issuer (as defined in the Credit Agreement), and the other lenders, L/C Issuers, and parties thereto from time to time (the “Credit Agreement”). The Credit Agreement consists of a revolving credit facility (the “2022 Revolver”), which allows the Company to borrow up to $400.0 million, $50.0 million of which may be comprised of a letter of credit sub-facility (the “2022 Revolver Sub-facility”). The borrowing capacity under the Credit Agreement may be increased in accordance with the terms and subject to the adjustments as set forth in the Credit Agreement. Specifically, the borrowing capacity may be increased by an amount up to the greater of $250.0 million or 100% of Four Quarter Consolidated EBITDA (as defined in the Credit Agreement) if certain criteria are met and subject to certain restrictions. Any such increase requires lender approval. Proceeds of any borrowings may be used for general corporate purposes. The 2022 Revolver is scheduled to mature on September 26, 2027.

The applicable interest rate is, at the Company’s option, based on a number of different benchmark rates and applicable spreads, based on the ratio of the outstanding principal amount of the Company’s secured indebtedness to the trailing four quarters of consolidated EBITDA (as determined under the Credit Agreement, the “Consolidated Secured Net Leverage Ratio”). The Credit Agreement also requires the Company to pay a commitment fee to the lenders with respect of the unutilized revolving commitments at a rate ranging from 0.125% to 0.175% per annum based on the Consolidated Secured Net Leverage Ratio, as determined on a quarterly basis.

The 2022 Revolver is secured by a first priority lien on substantially all tangible and intangible property of the Company, as well as any future guarantors, and pledges of the equity of certain wholly-owned subsidiaries, in each case subject to certain exceptions, limitations, and exclusions from the collateral. The Credit Agreement includes customary events of default and requires the Company to comply with customary affirmative and negative covenants, including a financial covenant requiring that the Company not exceed certain Consolidated Secured Net Leverage Ratio ranges at the end of each fiscal quarter. The Company was in compliance with all covenants as of March 31, 2025.

As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, there wereno borrowings and$9,907 in letters of credit outstanding under the 2022 Revolver Sub-facility associated with the Company’s leases, which reduced the borrowing capacity under the 2022 Revolver to$390,093.

As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, deferred financing costs were$1,283 and$1,412, respectively, recognized within other non-current assets in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, amortization expense associated with deferred financing costs was immaterial.

For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, commitment fees under the 2022 Revolver were immaterial.

  1. Commitments and Contingencies

Contractual Obligations and Commitments

As of March 31, 2025, all of the Company’s property and equipment and capitalized hosting arrangements have been purchased with cash with the exception of unpaid amounts as disclosed in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

Leases

As of March 31, 2025, there were no material changes in the Company’s leases from those disclosed in the Annual Report.

Letters of Credit

As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024,$9,907 in letters of credit associated with the Company’s leases were included under the 2022 Revolver Sub-facility.

Restricted Cash

As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, restricted cash was$2,848 and$2,036, respectively, and related to pass-through payments from dealers related to the Company’s Digital Wholesale business. As of both March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, all restricted cash was classified as a current asset, as disclosed in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Tax Contingencies

The Company is subject to taxation in the U.S. and certain other jurisdictions in which it operates, which could include sales and use tax, value added tax, excise tax, gross receipts tax, and property tax. State, local, and foreign jurisdictions have differing rules and regulations governing sales, use, value added, and other taxes. These rules and regulations are complex and subject to varying interpretations that may change over time due to new court interpretations and newly enacted rules and regulations. As a result, the Company could face the possibility of tax assessments and audits, and its liability for these taxes and associated penalties could exceed its original estimates, which could be material.

Legal Matters

From time to time, the Company may become involved in legal proceedings or be subject to claims arising in the ordinary course of its business. The Company recognizes a liability when it believes that it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. Judgment is required to determine both the probability of having incurred a liability and the estimated amount of the liability. The Company is not presently subject to any pending or threatened litigation that it believes, if determined adversely to the Company, individually or taken together, would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on its business or financial results. However, litigation is inherently unpredictable and the future outcome of legal proceedings and other contingencies may be unexpected or differ from the Company’s estimated liabilities, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s future financial results.

  1. Stock-based Compensation and Common Stock Share Repurchases

Stock-based Compensation Expense

For thethree months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, stock-based compensation expense by award type was as follows:

Common Stock Share Repurchases

On November 7, 2024, the Company announced that the Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program (the “2025 Share Repurchase Program”) pursuant to which the Company may, from time to time, purchase shares of its Class A common stock for an aggregate purchase price not to exceed $200.0 million. Share repurchases under the 2025 Share Repurchase Program may be made through a variety of methods, including but not limited to open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions, and transactions that may be effected pursuant to one or more plans under Rule 10b5-1 and/or Rule 10b-18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The 2025 Share Repurchase Program does not obligate the Company to repurchase any minimum dollar amount or number of shares. The 2025 Share Repurchase Program has an effective date of January 1, 2025, and an expiration date of December 31, 2025, and prior to its expiration may be modified, suspended, or discontinued by the Board of Directors at any time without prior notice. All repurchased shares under the 2025 Share Repurchase Program will be retired. The Company has funded share repurchases and expects to continue to fund share repurchases under the 2025 Share Repurchase Program through cash on hand and cash generated from operations.

On November 7, 2023, the Company announced that the Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program (the “2024 Share Repurchase Program”) pursuant to which the Company could, from time to time, purchase shares of its Class A common stock for an aggregate purchase price not to exceed $250.0 million. The 2024 Share Repurchase Program expired on December 31, 2024. All repurchased shares of Class A common stock under the 2024 Share Repurchase Program were retired. The Company funded share repurchases under the 2024 Share Repurchase Program through cash on hand and cash generated from operations.

During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company repurchased and retired 5,919,435 shares of its Class A common stock for$184,199, exclusive of commissions and excise tax, at an average cost of$31.12 per share, under the 2025 Share Repurchase Program. As of March 31, 2025, the Company had remaining authorization to purchase up to$15,801 of its Class A common stock under the 2025 Share Repurchase Program.

During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company repurchased and retired 3,538,194 shares of its Class A common stock for$81,067, exclusive of commissions and excise tax, at an average cost of$22.91 per share, under the 2024 Share Repurchase Program. As of December 31, 2024, the 2024 Share Repurchase Program expired.

  1. Earnings Per Share

The Company has two classes of common stock authorized: Class A common stock and Class B common stock. The rights of the holders of Class A and Class B common stock are identical, except with respect to voting and conversion. Each share of Class A common stock is entitled toone vote per share and each share of Class B common stock is entitled to ten votes per share. Each share of Class B common stock is convertible intoone share of Class A common stock at the option of the holder at any time or automatically upon certain events described in the Company’s fourth amended and restated certificate of incorporation, including upon either the death or voluntary termination of the Company’s Executive Chair. The Company allocates undistributed earnings attributable to common stock between the common stock classes on aone‑to‑one basis when computing net income per share. As a result, basic and diluted net income per share of Class A common stock and per share of Class B common stock are equivalent.

During the three months ended March 31, 2025,770,495 shares of Class B common stock were converted into Class A common stock. During the year ended December 31, 2024,1,012,428 shares of Class B common stock were converted into Class A common stock. During thethree months ended March 31, 2024, no shares of Class B common stock were converted into Class A common stock.

Basic net income per share (“Basic EPS”) is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the reporting period. The Company computes the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the reporting period using the total number of shares of Class A common stock and Class B common stock outstanding as of the last day of the previous year plus the weighted-average of any additional shares issued and outstanding during the reporting period, less the weighted-average of any shares repurchased during the period.

Diluted net income per share (“Diluted EPS”) gives effect to all potentially dilutive securities. Diluted EPS is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the reporting period using (i) the number of shares of common stock used in the Basic EPS calculation as indicated above, and (ii) if dilutive, the incremental weighted-average common stock that the Company would issue upon the exercise of stock options and the vesting of restricted stock units. The dilutive effect of these common stock equivalents is reflected in diluted earnings per share by application of the treasury stock method.

For thethree months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator used in the calculation of basic and diluted net income per share was as follows:

Three Months Ended March 31,
20252024

Diluted$0.37$0.20

For thethree months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, potentially dilutive common stock equivalents that have been excluded from the calculation of diluted weighted-average shares outstanding as their effect would have been anti-dilutive was as follows:

Three Months Ended March 31,

Restricted stock units outstanding58,3261,178,036
  1. Income Taxes

During the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company recognized an income tax provision of$9,506 and$8,384, respectively, representing an effective tax rate of 19.6% and 28.2%, respectively.

The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2025, was less than the statutory tax rate of 21%, principally due to federal and state research and development tax credits and discrete stock compensation windfalls, partially offset by state and local income taxes, the Section 162(m) excess officer compensation limitation, and non-deductible meals and commuter fringe benefits. The effective tax rate for thethree months ended March 31, 2024, was greater than the statutory tax rate of 21% principally due to state and local income taxes, the Section 162(m) excess officer compensation limitation, and non-deductible meals and commuter fringe benefits, partially offset by federal and state research development tax credits.

The Company and its subsidiaries file income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, various state jurisdictions, and in various foreign jurisdictions. The Company’s tax filings remain subject to audits by applicable tax authorities for a certain length of time following the tax year to which those filings relate. Tax years 2021 and forward generally remain open for examination for federal and state tax purposes. Tax years 2020 and forward generally remain open for examination for foreign tax purposes.

  1. Segment and Geographic Information

The Company hastwo reportable segments, U.S. Marketplace and Digital Wholesale. Segment information is presented in the same manner as the Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), Jason Trevisan, Chief Executive Officer, reviews the Company’s operating results in assessing performance and allocating resources. The CODM reviews segment revenue and segment income (loss) from operations as a proxy for the performance of the Company’s operations. The CODM uses segment income (loss) from operations in the annual budgeting and monthly forecasting process. The CODM considers segment income (loss) from operations in analyses of the actual amounts against budgeted and forecasted values to evaluate the performance of each segment and to make decisions for the allocation of capital and other resources to each segment.

The U.S. Marketplace segment derives revenue from marketplace services from customers within the U.S. The Digital Wholesale segment derives revenue from Dealer-to-Dealer and IMCO services and products which are sold on the CarOffer platform. The Company also has two operating segments which are individually immaterial and, therefore, aggregated into the Other category to reconcile reportable segments to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Income Statements. The Other category derives revenue from marketplace services from customers outside of the U.S.

Revenue and costs discretely incurred by reportable segments, including depreciation and amortization, are included in the calculation of reportable segment income (loss) from operations.

The Company’s significant segment expenses consist of cost of revenue and sales and marketing expense. The Company’s other segment items consist of product, technology, and development expense and general and administrative expense. The Company has disclosed depreciation and amortization expense separately from other segment items to meet disclosure requirements.

Asset information by reportable segment is not provided to the CODM as asset information is assessed and reviewed on a consolidated basis.
