Added paragraphs (8)

Current report

Total powersports revenue for the quarter increased $0.1 million compared to the same period in 2024 primarily due to higher revenue from sales of pre-owned retail vehicles along with increases in F&I and PSA revenue, partially offset by lower revenue from wholesale vehicle sales.

Current report

Total powersports gross profit increased $4.9 million for the quarter due in part to higher volume, with improvement in vehicles, PSA and F&I. Total gross profit per retail vehicle increased $228 for the quarter compared to last year’s quarter.

Current report

Total powersports gross profit decreased $11.2 million for the year to date period primarily due to lower overall retail vehicle sales volumes with the ancillary business lines following suit. The volume declines were partially offset in by higher revenue per pre-owned vehicle sold and higher PSA per retail vehicle sold.

Current report

“bps” = basis points (i.e., 1/100th of a percent = one basis point)

Current report

SG&A includes costs for our leased facilities. As part of our initiatives surrounding the assessment of our dealership portfolio, we have recently taken actions to reduce our costs by consolidating our overall footprint and/or closing less profitable stores. In August 2025, we combined two Dallas / Fort Worth area locations into a new, larger location in Fort Worth, Texas. In September 2025, we closed a location in Ohio and transferred the inventory from that store to other locations. From time to time, we have incurred fees to terminate leases and may incur such termination fees and additional closing costs in the future as a result of actions we take to improve overall profitability. For the three and nine months ending September 30, 2025, SG&A includes a $0.5 million payment associated with the termination of a dealership lease, partially offset by a $0.4 million gain on lease termination.

Current report

Inventory is one of the most significant components of our cash flow from operations. We have continued to focus on managing our mix and maintaining an appropriate level of new and pre-owned powersports inventory. Our inventory levels declined throughout 2024, as we worked to reduce excess inventory. Inventory as of the end of the quarter, while higher than the level of inventory at the end of 2024, is below the elevated level of inventory that we had at the end of the third quarter of 2024.

Removed paragraphs (6)

Previous report

As of June 30, 2025, the Company was in compliance with all of the financial covenants under its Credit Agreement (as defined in Note 4) but determined it needed to extend the due date of its Credit Agreement from August 31, 2026 to September 30, 2027 to increase its financial flexibility and allow time for refinancing the debt. The Company entered into the following agreements to meet these objectives:

Previous report

On August 10, 2025, the Company entered into separate commitment letters (collectively, the “Commitment Letters”) with each of Stone House Capital Management, LLC, Mark Tkach and Bill Coulter (collectively, the “Commitment Parties”), pursuant to which each Commitment Party has committed to make $3.3 million of subordinated loans to the Company (collectively, the “Subordinated Loans”). The aggregate gross proceeds of the Subordinated Loans, or approximately $10.0 million, shall be used by the Company to prepay outstanding principal amounts owed under the Credit Agreement (as defined below). The Subordinated Loans will bear interest at a rate per annum of 13.0% per annum, payable semi-annually in-kind by increasing the principal amount of the Subordinated Loans. The Subordinated Loans will mature thirty-six months after the date of funding. The Subordinated Loans will be contractually subordinated in right of payment to the loans outstanding under the Company’s Credit Agreement (the “Senior Loans”). See Note 10 for more detail.

Previous report

Total powersports revenue for the quarter decreased $23.0 million compared to the same period in 2024 primarily due to lower volume of new retail units sold. The impact on revenue from the lower volume of new retail units was partially offset by an increase in the volume of pre-owned retail vehicles in addition to increases in average revenue per new and pre-owned retail vehicle sold. The lower volume in retail sales of new vehicles contributed to a decline in F&I and PSA revenue for the quarter.

Previous report

Total powersports gross profit decreased $3.1 million for the quarter and $16.1 million for the first half primarily due to lower total retail sales volumes. For the quarter, the impact from the increase in sales of pre-owned vehicles, as well as higher gross profit per new and pre-owned vehicles sold partially offset the impact from the lower sales of new retail powersports vehicles. For the first half, the impact on gross profit from the overall lower volume was partially offset by higher per-vehicle gross profit for new retail vehicles and PSA.

Previous wording

Total powersports revenue for the first half decreased $77.3 million compared to the first half last year primarily due to a lower volume of retail units sold, which also led to F&I and PSA declines, partially offset by increases in the revenue per vehicle for new and pre-owned retail vehicles sold and PSA.

Current wording

Total powersports revenue for the nine months decreased $77.2 million compared to the same period last year primarily due to a lower volume of retail units sold, which also led to F&I and PSA declines, partially offset by increases in the revenue per vehicle for pre-owned retail vehicles sold and PSA.

Previous wording

Our vehicle transportation services segment results were impacted by the departure of several employees, including almost all brokers, early in 2025. While we have hired and continue to hire additional employees, including brokers, we expect this segment’s volume in 2025 to be substantially lower than its 2024 volume. Total vehicle transportation services revenue and gross profit decreased for the second quarter and first half of 2025 compared to the prior year comparable periods due to lower volume of vehicles transported.

Current wording

Early in 2025, our vehicle transportation services segment results were impacted by the departure of several employees, including almost all of our brokers. While we have hired and continue to hire additional employees, including brokers, this segment’s year-to-date volume has been substantially lower than its volume in the same period last year, and we expect that to continue for the remainder of the year. Total vehicle transportation services revenue and gross profit decreased for the 2025 third quarter and year-to-date period compared to the prior year comparable periods due to lower volume of vehicles transported.

Previous wording

Selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) were lower for the quarter and first half of 2025 compared to the prior year primarily due to our cost savings initiatives, partially offset by higher professional fees and facilities costs. Compensation and related costs comprised the majority of the savings.

Current wording

Selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) were lower for the quarter and year-to-date 2025 period compared to the prior year comparable periods primarily due to our cost savings initiatives partially offset by higher professional fees.

Previous wording

In all periods presented, SG&A included certain charges and credits that we view as being outside of our normal, ongoing operations. For the quarter, SG&A included $1.6 million compared to $0.4 million in the prior year quarter of such charges, primarily representing legal costs for the matters discussed in Note 11. SG&A for the first half of 2025 included $1.1 million of management transition costs and $3.8 million of legal costs, including costs for the matters discussed in Note 11. SG&A for the first half of 2024 included a total of $1.3 million of charges for legal costs for the matters discussed in Note 11 and the cost to terminate a contract. Stock compensation expense for the quarter and first half of 2025 was lower than the prior year comparable periods partly due to the Company’s annual equity grant being made in June in 2025, while it was made in March in 2024. In addition, stock compensation expense for the first half of 2025 included the $0.7 million reversal of expense due to the forfeiture of our former Chief Executive Officer’s equity awards.

Current wording

In all periods presented, SG&A included certain charges and credits that we view as being outside of our normal, ongoing operations. For the 2025 quarter and year-to-date periods, SG&A included $2.6 million and $6.4 million, respectively, of legal costs primarily for the matters discussed in Note 12 and certain costs we incurred to amend and extend our term loan agreement. In addition, SG&A for the first nine months of 2025 included $1.1 million of management transition costs. SG&A for the 2024 third quarter and year-to-date periods included $1.3 million and $2.6 million, respectively, of charges for legal costs for the matters discussed in Note 12 and the cost to terminate a contract. Stock compensation expense for the nine months of 2025 included the $0.7 million reversal of expense due to the forfeiture of our former Chief Executive Officer’s equity awards.

Previous wording

Management determined that an impairment triggering event had occurred resulting from the prolonged economic uncertainty and our sustained depressed stock price through the June 30, 2025. As a result of the interim quantitative impairment test we performed, we recorded a $34.0 million charge to impairment of franchise rights on the condensed consolidated statement of operations in the quarter to reduce franchise rights to fair value. There was no such impairment charge during the comparable period last year.

Current wording

The 2025 year-to-date period contains a $34.0 million charge to impairment of franchise rights. Management determined that an impairment triggering event had occurred resulting from the prolonged economic uncertainty and our sustained depressed stock price through June 30, 2025. As a result of the interim quantitative impairment test we performed, we recorded a $34.0 million charge to impairment of franchise rights to reduce franchise rights to their fair value in the second quarter of 2025. There was no such impairment charge during the comparable period last year, and there was no impairment test required as of September 30, 2025.

Previous wording

The fair value of franchise rights was determined using an excess earnings method. This analysis incorporates estimates and forward-looking projections, such as future revenue growth rates, corresponding gross margin, return on debt-free working capital contributory asset returns, and the discount rate. The use of different assumptions would likely lead to a different fair value, and changes to these assumptions in the future, such as an increase to the discount rate, could result in future impairment charges.

Previous wording

Floor plan interest expense was lower in the quarter and first half of 2025 primarily because average inventory levels were lower compared to the prior year comparable periods. We have floor plan agreements with both manufacturer-affiliated finance companies and with related and non-related third parties for most new and certain pre-owned vehicles. The interest rates on these floor plan notes payable commitments vary by lender and are variable rates. See Notes 2 and 10 for more information.

Previous wording

Other interest expense consists primarily of interest on the term loan facility, finance lease obligation, and the 6.75% convertible senior notes. See Note 4 for interest expense by debt instrument. Other interest expense decreased for the quarter and six months due primarily to the 6.75% convertible senior notes being paid off at the beginning of 2025, as well as lower average borrowings and a lower interest rate on the term loan in 2025 compared to 2024. Amortization of debt discount and issuance costs of $2.4 million and $4.9 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively, and $2.2 million and $4.4 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, were included in other interest expense.

Current wording

Other interest expense consists primarily of interest on the term loan facility, finance lease obligation, the 6.75% convertible senior notes, and beginning in the third quarter of 2025, the Subordinated Loans, as defined in Note 10.

Amortization of debt discount and issuance costs of $2.2 million and $7.1 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively, and $2.1 million and $6.5 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively, were included in other interest expense.

Previous wording

On August 10, 2025, the parties to the Credit Agreement executed Amendment No. 10 to the Credit Agreement (“Amendment No. 10”), which, among other things: (i) extended the maturity date of the Credit Agreement from August 31, 2026 to September 30, 2027; (ii) requires the Company to prepay $20.0 million of the Senior Loans using the proceeds of the Subordinated Loans and other funds; (iii) reduced the interest rate a by 0.50% per annum; (iv) added certain reporting covenants; (v) added milestones requiring the Company to commence a refinancing process prior to September 30, 2026 and complete the refinancing on or prior to November 30, 2026, and provided that failure to achieve such milestones will be an event of default under the Credit Agreement unless, prior to such milestone dates the Company (a) reduces the outstanding principal amount of the Loans to the lesser of (1) $150.0 million and (2) 3.25x Consolidated EBITDA or (b) both (1) forms a special committee of the Board to negotiate and recommend to the Board for approval any strategic alternatives, including any recapitalization, refinancing, any transaction resulting in a change of control or a sale of all or substantially all assets of the Company and its subsidiaries and (2) engages an investment banker or financial advisor acceptable to the Administrative Agent to evaluate and execute the strategic alternatives of the Company, and (vi) modified the financial maintenance covenants in the Credit Agreement.

In connection with Amendment No. 10, we will pay a customary exit fee that is due at the maturity of the Credit Agreement. As of September 30, 2025, we were in compliance with all of the financial covenants under the Credit Agreement.

Previous wording

Our primary sources of operating cash flows result from the sales of powersports vehicles and ancillary products. Our primary use of cash from operating activities are purchases of inventory, parts and merchandise; marketing costs; interest payments on trade floor plans, long-term debt, and finance lease obligations; rental costs for facilities; and personnel-related expenses. Operating cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2025 were $25.2 million lower than for the comparable period in the prior year, which benefited from the settlement of a $15.4 million loan portfolio transaction.

Our primary use of cash from operating activities are purchases of inventory, parts and merchandise; marketing costs; interest payments on trade floor plans, long-term debt, and finance lease obligations; rental costs for facilities; and personnel-related expenses. Operating cash flow for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 was $53.1 million lower than for the comparable period in the prior year, and was negatively impacted by $7.1 million of outstanding fleet receivables from the United States government, which remain outstanding due to the government shutdown. Prior year operating cash flow was driven by the reduction of excess inventory and the settlement of a $15.4 million loan portfolio transaction.

Previous wording

As discussed in “Recent Developments” and Note 4, in August 2025 the Company entered into an agreement to amend and extend its term loan agreement. In addition, as discussed in “Recent Developments” and Note 10, the Company entered into Commitment Letters with related parties, pursuant to which the Commitment Parties have agreed to make a total of $10.0 million of subordinated loans to the Company that will be used, in addition to existing cash balances to prepay $20.0 million of the principal due under the term loan facility in accordance with Amendment No. 10. As a result of the prepayment and interest rate reduction pursuant to Amendment No. 10, the Company expects cash payments for interest expense to be $3.4 million lower per year on an annualized basis for the duration of the term loan facility.

Current wording

Cash flows from financing activities primarily relate to our short and long-term debt activity. In January 2025, we repaid our 6.75% convertible senior notes at their maturity date, and in August 2025, we issued an aggregate $10.0 million of Subordinated Loans (as defined in Note 10) to related parties, and prepaid $20.0 million of principal amounts due under the Credit Agreement as required by Amendment No. 10. As a result of the prepayment and interest rate reduction pursuant to Amendment No. 10, we expect cash payments for interest expense to be $3.4 million lower per year on an annualized basis for the duration of the term loan facility.
