RideNow Group, Inc.

Our Company

RumbleOn, Inc. operates through two operating segments: a powersports dealership group and a vehicle transportation services entity, Wholesale Express, LLC (“Express”). The Company was incorporated in 2013 and has grown primarily through acquisitions. The Company is headquartered in the Dallas Metroplex and completed its initial public offering in 2017. Unless the context otherwise requires, all references in this section to “we,” “our,” “us,” “RumbleOn,” and the “Company” refer to RumbleOn, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries and any predecessor entities.

We believe our powersports business is the largest powersports retail group in the United States offering a wide selection of new and pre-owned motorcycles, all-terrain vehicles (“ATV”), utility terrain or side-by-side vehicles (“SXS”), personal watercraft (“PWC”), snowmobiles, and other powersports products. We also offer parts, apparel, accessories, finance & insurance products and services, and aftermarket products from a wide range of manufacturers. Additionally, we offer a full suite of repair and maintenance services. As of December 31, 2024, we operated a total of 56 dealerships located in Alabama, Arizona, California, Florida, Georgia, Kansas, Massachusetts, Nevada, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Texas and Washington.

We source high quality pre-owned inventory online via our proprietary RideNow Cash Offer technology, which allows us to purchase pre-owned units directly from consumers.

Express provides asset-light transportation brokerage services facilitating automobile transportation primarily between and among dealerships and auctions. We provide services focused on pre-owned vehicles to clients across the United States through our established network of pre-qualified carriers.

Former Operations

Discontinued operations represents the results of our wholesale automotive business, which was wound down as of June 30, 2023. Also, on December 29, 2023, the Company sold its consumer loans portfolio underwritten by two subsidiaries.

Our Industry

The powersports retail marketplace in the United States is highly fragmented. We face competition from traditional franchised dealers who sell both new and pre-owned vehicles, independent pre-owned powersports dealers, and private parties. We believe that the principal competitive factors in our industry are consumer experience (sales, delivery, service and after sales care) and quality, breadth and depth of product selection. Our RideNow Cash Offer technology is a point of differentiation that enables us to purchase pre-owned inventory online from customers located nationwide.

Express operates in the U.S. automotive transportation services industry, which is highly fragmented with low barriers to entry. We compete against many transportation services companies, including trucking companies, freight brokers, freight forwarders, and other brokers. We believe that our dedication to quality, simple and hassle-free transportation services, and our focus on customer relationships are key aspects of our business.

Our Long-Term Strategy

We aim to create long-term shareholder value by operating the best performing, most profitable powersports retail group in the United States. To achieve these objectives, we are pursuing the following goals and strategies. In addition to these activities, we continue to focus on reducing our cost structure by identifying and eliminating expenses that do not further our strategic goals.

Run the best performing dealerships in America

We seek to provide customers with a seamless experience, broad selection, and access to our specialized and experienced team members, including sales staff and technicians. Our network of convenient retail locations allows us to offer services throughout the powersports vehicle life cycle. Our incentive-based compensation encourages our dealership general managers to think and behave like owners and to focus on profitable operations and great customer experiences. We source new inventory from original equipment manufacturers (“OEMs”), and we invest our resources to align with their brand standards and performance objectives. We believe that leveraging our inventory within our large network is a competitive advantage in the highly fragmented powersports market with respect to OEMs and consumers. We have also centralized certain activities and decisions with respect to our inventory mix and supply.

Leverage our proprietary RideNow Cash Offer technology to accelerate growth of our pre-owned inventory

An expansive selection of pre-owned inventory enhances the customer experience by ensuring our visitors can find a powersports vehicle that matches their preference. Our RideNow Cash Offer technology directly connects us with consumers and allows us to acquire high-quality, pre-owned powersports vehicles at scale. This proprietary technology is a fast and efficient mechanism to offer cash for pre-owned vehicles and provides us with a unique source of market data. Our RideNow Cash Offer technology is a point of differentiation that enables us to access a nationwide market of pre-owned vehicles and introduces us to customers outside of our physical retail footprint. Our pre-owned inventory strategy utilizes a centralized set of standards for acquisitions made online, in stores and through auctions.

Grow organically and through strategic acquisitions

Our plan includes growing our powersports segment both organically by adding new customers through our online and in-store locations, by adding brands to existing locations and by acquiring new strategic retail locations. Our team has substantial experience in identifying suitable acquisition candidates, negotiating purchase terms and conditions and integrating newly acquired businesses. We identify acquisition candidates based on a variety of factors, including authorized brands, geographic location and service offerings. Acquiring additional locations also helps us further leverage our corporate cost structure. We are continually evaluating our dealership footprint and may divest locations that are no longer accretive for our business.

Our Team

We have recently experienced significant changes to our executive team. Effective January 13, 2025, the Company and Michael Kennedy, the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) of the Company, entered into a separation agreement which provided that Mr. Kennedy’s employment with the Company terminated. On the same day, the Chairman of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”), Michael Quartieri, became our CEO, and Cameron Tkach was appointed to serve as Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer. Tiffany Kice became the Company’s Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”) on June 24, 2024, and Brandy Treadway became the Company’s Chief Legal Officer on February 12, 2024.

As of December 31, 2024, we had 1,928 full-time and 36 part-time employees.

Technology

We protect our technology and other intellectual property through a combination of trademarks, domain names, copyrights, trade secrets, and contractual provisions and restrictions on access and use of our proprietary information and technology. We have a portfolio of trademark registrations in the United States, including registrations for “RideNow,” the RideNow logo, “RumbleOn,” and the RumbleOn logo. We are the registered holder of a variety of domestic domain names, including “Rumbleon.com.”

Seasonality

The powersports industry is a seasonal business with sales strongest in the spring and summer months. Given this seasonality, we expect our quarterly results of operations, including our revenue, gross profit, net income (loss), and cash flow to vary accordingly.

Government Regulation

Various aspects of our business are subject to federal and state laws and regulations, including state and local dealer licensing requirements, federal and state consumer finance laws, the United States Department of Transportation motor-carrier rules and regulations, federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations, including the U.S. Environmental Protection Act, federal, state, and local wage and hour and anti-discrimination laws, and antitrust laws. Failure to comply with such laws or regulations may result in the suspension or termination of our ability to do business in affected jurisdictions or the imposition of significant civil and criminal penalties, including fines or the award of significant damages against us and our dealers in class action or other civil litigation.

In addition to these laws and regulations that apply specifically to our business, we are also subject to laws and regulations affecting public companies, including securities laws and the listing rules of The Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”).
