Business and Nature of Operations
OPENLANE connects the leading automotive manufacturers, dealers, rental companies, fleet operators, captive finance and lending institutions as buyers and sellers to create a leading digital marketplace for wholesale used vehicles. Our portfolio of integrated technology, data analytics, financing, logistics, reconditioning and other remarketing solutions, combined with our vehicle logistics centers in Canada, help advance our purpose: to make wholesale easy so our customers can be more successful. As of September 30, 2025, the Marketplace segment serves its customer base through digital marketplaces in North America and Europe and 14 vehicle logistics center locations in Canada.
For commercial sellers, our software platform supports private label digital remarketing applications and provides comprehensive solutions to our automobile manufacturer, captive finance company and other commercial customers. For dealer customers, our platform facilitates multiple sale formats, data-driven insights and integrated services to automotive dealers, coast-to-coast in the United States, Canada and Europe.
Marketplace services include a variety of activities designed to facilitate the transfer of used vehicles between sellers and buyers throughout the vehicle life cycle. We facilitate the exchange of these vehicles through our marketplaces, which aligns sellers and buyers. As an agent for customers, the Company generally does not take title to or ownership of vehicles sold through our marketplaces. Generally, fees are earned from the seller and buyer on each successful marketplace transaction in addition to fees earned for ancillary services. We also sell vehicles that we have purchased, for which we do take title and record the gross selling price of the vehicle sold through our marketplaces as revenue.
We also provide services such as inbound and outbound transportation logistics, reconditioning, vehicle inspection and certification, titling, administrative and collateral recovery services. We are able to serve the diverse and multi-faceted needs of our customers through the wide range of services offered.
AFC is a leading provider of floorplan financing primarily to independent used vehicle dealers ("independent vehicle dealers") and this financing is provided through approximately 90 locations (hybrid of physical locations and a digital servicing network) throughout the United States and Canada as of September 30, 2025. Floorplan financing supports independent vehicle dealers in North America who purchase vehicles at OPENLANE and other used vehicle and salvage auctions. In addition, AFC provides financing for dealer inventory purchased directly from wholesalers, other dealers and directly from consumers, as well as providing liquidity for customer trade-ins which can encompass settling lien holder payoffs. AFC also provides title services for their customers.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP") for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by U.S. GAAP for annual financial statements. Operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the year as a whole. In the opinion of management, the consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, generally consisting of normal recurring accruals, necessary for a fair statement of our results of operations, cash flows and financial position for the periods presented. These consolidated financial statements and condensed notes to consolidated financial statements are unaudited and should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 20, 2025. The 2024 year-end consolidated balance sheet data included in this Form 10-Q was derived from the audited financial statements referenced above and does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP for annual financial statements.
Reclassifications
The Company has reclassified certain amounts relating to its prior period results to conform to its current period presentation. These reclassifications have not changed the results of operations of prior periods.
Interest Expense and Finance Interest Expense
Historically the Company has presented interest expense for both its Marketplace and Finance segments below operating profit. Beginning in the fourth quarter of 2024, the Company updated its consolidated statement of income presentation and its segment statement of income presentation (Note 10) to include finance interest expense as a separate line item within operating expenses. Interest expense related to the Marketplace segment (interest on corporate debt) continues to be shown as a separate line item below operating profit. This change increases operating expenses, thereby reducing operating profit, but has no impact on income from continuing operations. Finance interest expense of $30.7 million and $95.2 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively, has been reclassified to conform to the new presentation.
Finance Revenue and Finance Provision for Credit Losses
Historically, finance revenue from the Finance segment has been presented net of the provision for credit losses. The Company is presenting the finance provision for credit losses as an operating expense, rather than as a reduction of the finance revenues. Management has evaluated the materiality of these adjustments to its prior period financial statements from a quantitative and qualitative perspective and has concluded that the revisions were not material to any prior annual or interim period. Beginning in the fourth quarter of 2024, the Company updated its consolidated statement of income presentation and its segment statement of income presentation (Note 10) to include the finance provision for credit losses as a separate line item within the operating expenses. This change increases finance revenue and operating expenses, but has no impact on operating profit or income from continuing operations. The finance provision for credit losses of $11.4 million and $37.0 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively, has been reclassified to conform to the revised presentation.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates based in part on assumptions about current, and for some estimates, future economic and market conditions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period. Although the current estimates contemplate current conditions and expected future changes, as appropriate, it is reasonably possible that future conditions could differ from these estimates, which could materially affect our results of operations and financial position. Among other effects, such changes could result in future impairments of goodwill, intangible assets and long-lived assets, incremental losses on finance receivables, additional allowances on accounts receivable and deferred tax assets and changes in litigation and other loss contingencies.
New Accounting Standards
In September 2025, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2025-06, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software, which amends certain aspects of the accounting for and disclosure of internal-use software costs. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, and for interim reporting periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted and the amendments should be applied either prospectively to financial statements issued for reporting periods after the effective date, retrospectively to any or all prior periods presented in the financial statements, or through a modified prospective transition approach which is based on the status of the project and whether software costs were capitalized before the date of adoption. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of ASU 2025-06 will have on the consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
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, which requires that public business entities disclose additional information about specific expense categories to provide more detailed information to investors about the types of expenses in commonly presented expense captions. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and for interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted and the amendments should be applied either prospectively to financial statements issued for reporting periods after the effective date or retrospectively to any or all prior periods presented in the financial statements. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of ASU 2024-03 will have on the consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which requires additional income tax disclosures on an annual basis, specifically related to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. The amendments should be applied on a prospective basis and retrospective application to each period presented is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of ASU 2023-09 will have on the consolidated financial statement disclosures.
Note 2—Stock and Stock-Based Compensation Plans
The OPENLANE, Inc. Second Amended and Restated 2009 Omnibus Stock and Incentive Plan ("Omnibus Plan") is intended to provide equity and/or cash-based awards to our executive officers and key employees. Our stock-based compensation expense includes expense associated with service-based options ("service options"), market-based options ("market options"), performance-based restricted stock units ("PRSUs") and service-based restricted stock units ("RSUs"). We have determined that the service options, market options, PRSUs and RSUs should be classified as equity awards.
The following table summarizes our stock-based compensation expense by type of award(in millions):
| Three Months Ended September 30, | Nine Months Ended September 30, | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 2024 | 2025 | 2024 | |
| PRSUs | $2.1 | $1.5 | $4.2 | $6.7 |
| RSUs | 2.0 | 1.7 | 8.0 | 6.8 |
| Service options | — | 0.2 | — | 0.5 |
| Market options | — | 0.4 | (2.3) | (0.1) |
| Total stock-based compensation expense | $4.1 | $3.8 | $9.9 | $13.9 |
PRSUs
In the first nine months of 2025, we granted a target amount of approximately 0.3 million PRSUs to certain executive officers of the Company. Three quarters of the PRSUs vest if and to the extent that the Company's cumulative Adjusted EBITDA ("Adjusted EBITDA PRSUs") attains certain specified goals over three years. The other one quarter of the PRSUs vest if and to the extent that the Company's total shareholder return over three years relative to that of companies within the S&P SmallCap
600 ("TSR PRSUs") exceeds certain levels. The weighted average grant date fair value of the Adjusted EBITDA PRSUs was $21.18 per share, which was determined using the closing price of the Company's common stock on the date of grant. The weighted average grant date fair value of the TSR PRSUs was $33.65 per share and was developed with a Monte Carlo simulation using a multivariate Geometric Brownian Motion.
RSUs
In the first nine months of 2025, approximately 0.7 million RSUs were granted to certain executive officers and management members of the Company. The RSUs are contingent upon continued employment and generally vest inthree equal annual installments. The fair value of RSUs is the value of the Company's common stock at the date of grant and the weighted average grant date fair value of the RSUs was $21.06 per share.
Share Repurchase Programs
2025 Share Repurchase Program
In April 2025, the board of directors approved a new share repurchase authorization of up to $250 million of the Company’s outstanding common stock through December 31, 2026. This share repurchase program replaces the 2019 share repurchase program. At September 30, 2025, approximately $214.4 million of the Company's outstanding common stock remained available for repurchase under the 2025 share repurchase program. Repurchases may be made in the open market or through privately negotiated transactions, in accordance with applicable securities laws and regulations, including pursuant to repurchase plans designed to comply with Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The timing and amount of any repurchases is subject to market and other conditions. This program does not oblige the Company to repurchase any dollar amount or any number of shares under the authorization, and the program may be suspended, discontinued or modified at any time, for any reason and without notice. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, we repurchased and retired 1,050,215 shares and 1,463,403 shares of common stock, respectively in the open market at a weighted average price of $25.02 per share and $24.35 per share, respectively under the 2025 share repurchase program.
2019 Share Repurchase Program
In October 2019, the board of directors authorized a repurchase of up to $300 million of the Company's outstanding common stock, par value $0.01 per share. The 2019 share repurchase program was amended from time-to-time through subsequent approvals by the board of directors. The amendments served to increase the size of the 2019 share repurchase program and extend its maturity date. Repurchases were made in the open market or through privately negotiated transactions, in accordance with applicable securities laws and regulations, including pursuant to repurchase plans designed to comply with Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The timing and amount of any repurchases was subject to market and other conditions. For the three months ended March 31, 2025, we repurchased and retired 2,900 shares of common stock in the open market at a weighted average price of $19.98 per share under the 2019 share repurchase program. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, we repurchased and retired 1,778,470 shares of common stock in the open market at a weighted average price of $16.85 per share under the 2019 share repurchase program.
Note 3—Income from Continuing Operations Per Share
The following table sets forth the computation of income from continuing operations per share(in millions except per share amounts):
| Three Months Ended September 30, | Nine Months Ended September 30, | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 2024 | 2025 | 2024 | |
| Income from continuing operations | $47.9 | $28.4 | $118.2 | $57.6 |
| Series A Preferred Stock dividends | (11.1) | (11.1) | (33.3) | (33.3) |
| Income from continuing operations attributable to participating securities | (9.2) | (4.3) | (21.2) | (6.0) |
| Income from continuing operations attributable to common stockholders | $27.6 | $13.0 | $63.7 | $18.3 |
| Weighted average common shares outstanding | 106.7 | 108.2 | 107.1 | 108.4 |
| Effect of dilutive stock options and restricted stock awards | 1.6 | 0.8 | 1.4 | 0.8 |
| Weighted average common shares outstanding and potential common shares | 108.3 | 109.0 | 108.5 | 109.2 |
| Income from continuing operations per share | ||||
| Basic | $0.26 | $0.12 | $0.59 | $0.17 |
| Diluted | $0.25 | $0.12 | $0.59 | $0.17 |
The Company includes participating securities (Series A Preferred Stock) in the computation of income from continuing operations per share pursuant to the two-class method. The two-class method of calculating income from continuing operations per share is an allocation method that calculates earnings per share for common stock and participating securities. Under the two-class method, total dividends provided to the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock and undistributed earnings allocated to participating securities are subtracted from income from continuing operations in determining income attributable to common stockholders.
The effect of stock options and restricted stock on income from continuing operations per share-diluted is determined through the application of the treasury stock method, whereby net proceeds received by the Company based on assumed exercises are hypothetically used to repurchase our common stock at the average market price during the period. Stock options that would have an anti-dilutive effect on income from continuing operations per diluted share, unexercisable market options and PRSUs subject to performance conditions which have not yet been satisfied are excluded from the calculations. No service options were excluded from the calculation of diluted income from continuing operations per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, and approximately 0.4 million service options were excluded from the calculation of diluted income from continuing operations per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024. Approximately 1.3 million market options were excluded from the calculation of diluted income from continuing operations per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, and approximately 3.4 million market options were excluded from the calculation of diluted income from continuing operations per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024. In addition, approximately 1.1 million PRSUs were excluded from the calculation of diluted income from continuing operations per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, and approximately 1.3 million PRSUs were excluded from the calculation of diluted income from continuing operations per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024. Total options outstanding at September 30, 2025 and 2024 were 3.0 million and 4.3 million, respectively.
Note 4—Finance Receivables and Obligations Collateralized by Finance Receivables
AFC sells the majority of its U.S. dollar denominated finance receivables on a revolving basis and without recourse to a wholly-owned, bankruptcy remote, consolidated, special purpose subsidiary ("AFC Funding Corporation"), established for the purpose of purchasing AFC's finance receivables. A securitization agreement allows for the revolving sale by AFC Funding Corporation to a group of bank purchasers of undivided interests in certain finance receivables subject to committed liquidity. The agreement expires on January 31, 2028. AFC Funding Corporation had committed liquidity of $2.0 billion for U.S. finance receivables at September 30, 2025.
We also have an agreement for the securitization of Automotive Finance Canada Inc.'s ("AFCI") receivables, which expires on January 31, 2028. AFCI's committed facility is provided through a third-party conduit (separate from the U.S. facility) and was C$375 million on September 30, 2025. In May 2025, AFCI entered into an Amendment No. 2 (the "Amendment No. 2") to the Receivables Purchase Agreement. The Amendment No. 2 increased AFCI's committed liquidity from C$300 million to C$375 million. We capitalized approximately $0.3 million of costs in connection with the Amendment No. 2. The receivables sold pursuant to both the U.S. and Canadian securitization agreements are accounted for as secured borrowings.
The following tables present quantitative information about delinquencies, credit loss charge-offs less recoveries ("net credit losses") and components of securitized financial assets and other related assets managed. For purposes of this illustration, delinquent receivables are defined as receivables 31 days or more past due.

| Allowance for credit losses | (19.8) | |||
| Finance receivables, net | $2,322.7 | |||
The following is a summary of the changes in the allowance for credit losses related to finance receivables (in millions):
| September 30, 2025 | September 30, 2024 | |
|---|---|---|
| Allowance for Credit Losses | ||
| Balance at December 31 | $19.8 | $23.0 |
| Provision for credit losses | 27.2 | 37.0 |
| Recoveries | 6.0 | 5.3 |
| Less charge-offs | (30.1) | (46.2) |
| Other | 0.1 | (0.1) |
| Balance at end of period | $23.0 | $19.0 |
As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, $2,511.8 million and $2,335.1 million, respectively, of finance receivables (inclusive of accrued interest and fees) and a cash reserve of 1 or 3 percent of the obligations collateralized by finance receivables served as security for the obligations collateralized by finance receivables. The amount of the cash reserve depends on circumstances which are set forth in the securitization agreements. Obligations collateralized by finance receivables consisted of the following:
| September 30, 2025 | December 31, 2024 | |
|---|---|---|
| Obligations collateralized by finance receivables, gross | $1,831.4 | $1,679.1 |
| Unamortized securitization issuance costs | (14.5) | (18.8) |
| Obligations collateralized by finance receivables | $1,816.9 | $1,660.3 |
Proceeds from the revolving sale of receivables to the bank facilities are used to fund new loans to customers. AFC, AFC Funding Corporation and AFCI must maintain certain financial covenants including, among others, limits on the amount of debt AFC and AFCI can incur, minimum levels of tangible net worth, and other covenants tied to the performance of the finance receivables portfolio. The securitization agreements also incorporate the financial covenants of our Credit Agreement. At September 30, 2025, we were in compliance with the covenants in the securitization agreements.
Note 5—Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
Goodwill consisted of the following (in millions):
| Marketplace | Finance | Total | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Balance at December 31, 2024 (1)(2) | $982.0 | $240.9 | $1,222.9 |
| Foreign currency | 18.8 | — | 18.8 |
| Balance at September 30, 2025 (1)(2) | $1,000.8 | $240.9 | $1,241.7 |
(1) Marketplace amounts are net of accumulated goodwill impairment charges of $250.8 million at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024.
(2) Finance amounts are net of accumulated goodwill impairment charges of $161.5 million at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024.
Goodwill represents the excess cost over fair value of identifiable net assets of businesses acquired. The Company tests goodwill and indefinite-lived tradenames for impairment at the reporting unit level annually during the second quarter, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that impairment may exist. When performing the impairment assessment, the fair value of the Company's reporting units are estimated using the expected present value of future cash flows (Level 3 inputs). No impairment was identified during the annual impairment assessment in the second quarter of 2025 nor at any other point in 2025.
As disclosed in prior periods, the deferred tax benefits of $52.5 million and $6.5 million associated with the goodwill and tradename impairments in the second quarter of 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 recorded a $34.6 million and $35.8 million valuation allowance against the U.S. net deferred tax asset at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.
Note 6—Long-Term Debt
Long-term debt consisted of the following(in millions):
| Interest Rate* · Maturity · September 30, 2025 · December 31, 2024 | |||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Revolving Credit Facility | Adjusted Term SOFR | + 2.25% | June 23, 2028 | $— | $— |
| Canadian Revolving Credit Facility | Adjusted Term CORRA | + 2.50% | June 23, 2028 | — | — |
| Senior notes | 5.125% | June 1, 2025 | — | 210.0 | |
| European lines of credit | Euribor | + 1.25% | Repayable upon demand | 23.8 | 20.7 |
| Total debt | $23.8 | $230.7 | |||
*The interest rates presented in the table above represent the rates in place at September 30, 2025. The weighted average interest rate on our short-term borrowings outstanding was 3.27% and 4.30% at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.
Credit Facilities
On June 23, 2023, we entered into the Credit Agreement, which provides for, among other things, the $325 million Revolving Credit Facility. On January 19, 2024, the Company and ADESA Auctions Canada Corporation, a subsidiary of the Company (the "Canadian Borrower") entered into the First Amendment Agreement (the "First Amendment") to the Credit Agreement. The First Amendment provides for, among other things, (i) a C$175 million revolving credit facility in Canadian dollars (the "Canadian Revolving Credit Facility" and, together with the Revolving Credit Facility, "the Revolving Credit Facilities") and (ii) a C$50 million sub-limit (the "Canadian Sub-limit") under the Company's existing Revolving Credit Facility for borrowings in Canadian dollars. The proceeds from the Canadian Revolving Credit Facility were able to be used to finance a portion of the Manheim Canada acquisition, to pay for expenses related to the First Amendment and for ongoing working capital and general corporate purposes.
The Revolving Credit Facility is available for letters of credit, working capital, permitted acquisitions and general corporate purposes. The Revolving Credit Facility also includes a $65 million sub-limit for the issuance of letters of credit and a $60 million sub-limit for swingline loans.
The obligations of the Company under the Revolving Credit Facility are guaranteed by certain of our domestic subsidiaries (the "Subsidiary Guarantors") and are secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors, including but not limited to: (a) pledges of and first priority security interests in 100% of the equity interests of certain of the Company's and the Subsidiary Guarantors' domestic subsidiaries and 65% of the equity interests of certain of the Company's and the Subsidiary Guarantors' first tier foreign subsidiaries and (b) first priority security interests in substantially all other assets of the Company and each Subsidiary Guarantor, subject to certain exceptions. The Credit Agreement contains affirmative and negative covenants that we believe are usual and customary for a senior secured credit agreement. The negative covenants include, among other things, limitations on asset sales, mergers and acquisitions, indebtedness, liens, dividends, investments and transactions with our affiliates. The Credit Agreement also requires us to maintain a maximum Consolidated Senior Secured Net Leverage Ratio, not to exceed 3.5 as of the last day of each fiscal quarter on which any loans under the Revolving Credit Facilities are outstanding. We were in compliance with the applicable covenants in the Credit Agreement at September 30, 2025.
The obligations of the Canadian Borrower under the Canadian Revolving Credit Facility are guaranteed by certain of the Company’s domestic and Canadian subsidiaries (the "Canadian Revolving Credit Facility Subsidiary Guarantors") and are secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company, the Canadian Borrower and the Canadian Revolving Credit Facility Subsidiary Guarantors, subject to certain exceptions; provided, however, the Canadian Borrower and the other Canadian subsidiaries of the Company constituting the Canadian Revolving Credit Facility Subsidiary Guarantors shall guarantee and/or provide security for only the Canadian Secured Obligations (as defined in the Credit Agreement, as amended by the First Amendment).
Loans under the Revolving Credit Facility bear interest at a rate calculated based on the type of borrowing (at the Company's election, either Adjusted Term SOFR Rate or Base Rate (each as defined in the Credit Agreement)) and the Company’s Consolidated Senior Secured Net Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement), with such rate ranging from 2.75% to 2.25% for Adjusted Term SOFR Rate loans and from 1.75% to 1.25% for Base Rate loans. The Company also pays a commitment fee between 25 to 35 basis points, payable quarterly, on the average daily unused amount of the Revolving Credit Facility based on the Company’s Consolidated Senior Secured Net Leverage Ratio.
Loans under the Canadian Revolving Credit Facility bear interest at a rate calculated based on the type of borrowing (at the Canadian Borrower's election, either Adjusted Term CORRA Rate or Canadian Prime Rate (each as defined in the Credit Agreement, as amended by the First Amendment)) and the Company’s Consolidated Senior Secured Net Leverage Ratio, with such rate ranging from 3.00% to 2.50% for Adjusted Term CORRA loans and from 2.00% to 1.50% for Canadian Prime Rate loans. Loans under the Canadian Sub-limit will bear interest at the Adjusted Term CORRA Rate plus a margin ranging from 2.75% to 2.25% based on the Company’s Consolidated Senior Secured Net Leverage Ratio (the same margin as loans under the existing Revolving Credit Facility). The Canadian Borrower will also pay a commitment fee between 25 to 35 basis points, payable quarterly, on the average daily unused amount of the Canadian Revolving Credit Facility based on the Company’s Consolidated Senior Secured Net Leverage Ratio.
Debt issuance costs are presented as a direct reduction from the amount of the related debt liability, to the extent applicable, to arrive at the carrying amount. Unamortized debt issuance costs were $8.0 million and $8.2 million at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.
As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, there wereno borrowings on the Revolving Credit Facilities. In addition, we had related outstanding letters of credit in the aggregate amount of $42.6 million and $48.8 million at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, which reduce the amount available for borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facilities. As of September 30, 2025 there was an additional $408.1 million available for borrowing under the Revolving Credit Facilities. When drawn upon, the Revolving Credit Facilities are classified as current debt based on the Company’s past practice of using the Revolving Credit Facilities for short term borrowings. However, the terms of the Revolving Credit Facilities do not require repayment until June 23, 2028.
Senior Notes
On May 31, 2017, we issued $950 million of 5.125% senior notes due June 1, 2025. The Company paid interest on the senior notes semi-annually in arrears on June 1 and December 1 of each year. The senior notes were guaranteed by the Subsidiary Guarantors and as of June 1, 2023 became redeemable at par. The Company repaid the outstanding $210.0 million of senior notes upon maturity during the second quarter of 2025 with cash on hand.
European Lines of Credit
OPENLANE Europe has lines of credit aggregating $46.9 million (€40 million). The lines of credit had an aggregate $23.8 million and $20.7 million of borrowings outstanding at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. The lines of credit are secured by certain inventory and receivables at OPENLANE Europe subsidiaries.
Fair Value of Debt
As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the estimated fair value of our long-term debt amounted to $23.8 million and $229.1 million, respectively. The estimates of fair value were based on broker-dealer quotes (Level 2 inputs) for our debt as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024. The estimates presented on long-term financial instruments are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that would be realized in a current market exchange.
Note 7—Other Income, Net
Other income, net consisted of the following (in millions):
| Three Months Ended September 30, | Nine Months Ended September 30, | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 2024 | 2025 | 2024 | |
| Foreign currency (gains) losses | $(1.6) | $(3.2) | $(10.5) | $(0.7) |
| Other | (0.6) | (0.4) | (4.1) | (2.2) |
| Other income, net | $(2.2) | $(3.6) | $(14.6) | $(2.9) |
Fair Value Measurement of Investments
The Company invests in certain early-stage automotive companies and funds that relate to the automotive industry. We believe these investments have resulted in the expansion of relationships in the vehicle remarketing industry. ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement, defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. As of September 30, 2025, the Company hadno investment securities measured at fair value (based on quoted market prices for identical assets or Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy). Other investments held of $29.5 million do not have readily determinable fair values and the Company has elected to apply the measurement alternative to these investments and present them at cost. Investments are reported in "Other assets" in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Realized and unrealized gains and losses are reported in "Other income, net" in the consolidated statements of income.
Note 8—Commitments and Contingencies
We are involved in litigation and disputes arising in the ordinary course of business, such as actions related to injuries; property damage; handling, storage or disposal of vehicles; environmental laws and regulations; and other litigation incidental to the business such as employment matters and dealer disputes. Management considers the likelihood of loss or the incurrence of a liability, as well as the ability to reasonably estimate the amount of loss, in determining loss contingencies. We accrue an estimated loss contingency when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of loss (or range of possible losses) can be reasonably estimated. Management regularly evaluates current information available to determine whether accrual amounts should be adjusted. Accruals for contingencies including litigation and environmental matters are included in "Other accrued expenses" at undiscounted amounts and exclude claims for recoveries from insurance or other third parties. These accruals are adjusted periodically as assessment and remediation efforts progress, or as additional technical or legal information becomes available. If the amount of an actual loss is greater than the amount accrued, this could have an adverse impact on our operating results in that period. Although the outcome of litigation cannot be accurately predicted, based on evaluation of information presently available, our management does not currently believe that the ultimate resolution of these actions will have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. Legal fees are expensed as incurred. There has beenno significant change in the legal and regulatory proceedings which were disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.
Note 9—Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss
Accumulated other comprehensive loss consisted of the following (in millions):
| September 30, 2025 | December 31, 2024 | |
|---|---|---|
| Foreign currency translation loss | $(45.5) | $(69.1) |
| Accumulated other comprehensive loss | $(45.5) | $(69.1) |
Note 10—Segment Information
ASC 280, Segment Reporting, requires reporting of segment information that is consistent with the manner in which the chief operating decision maker ("CODM") operates and views the Company. OPENLANE's CODM is the Chief Executive Officer. Our operations are grouped intotwo operating segments: Marketplace and Finance, which also serve as our reportable business segments. These reportable business segments offer different services and have fundamental differences in their operations. This segment structure reflects the financial information used by our CODM to make decisions regarding the business, including resource allocations and performance assessments. The Company’s method for measuring profitability on a reportable segment basis is operating profit (loss). The CODM considers history-to-actual, budget-to-actual and forecast-to-actual results to assess the performance of the segments and in allocating resources.
Marketplace encompasses all wholesale marketplaces throughout North America and Europe. The Marketplace segment relates to used vehicle remarketing, including marketplace services, remarketing, or make ready services and all are interrelated, synergistic elements along the auto remarketing chain.
The Finance segment (through AFC) is primarily engaged in the business of providing short-term, inventory-secured financing to independent vehicle dealers. AFC conducts business primarily at or near wholesale used vehicle auctions in the U.S. and Canada and other areas where there is a concentration of AFC customers. As discussed in Note 1, beginning in the fourth quarter of 2024, finance interest expense and finance provision for credit losses are now shown as separate line items within operating expenses (in the Finance Segment). Segment results for prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the new presentation.
