Carvana is the leading e-commerce platform for buying and selling used cars. We are transforming the used car buying and selling experience by giving consumers what they want - a wide selection, great value and quality, transparent pricing, and a simple, no pressure transaction. Our differentiated business model combines a comprehensive online sales experience with a vertically integrated supply chain, designed to sell high-quality vehicles to our customers transparently and efficiently at a low price. The automotive retail industry is large – with approximately 37 million used auto retail transactions in the United States (“U.S.”) in 2024 according to Cox Automotive – and highly fragmented – with the top 10 used auto retailers in the U.S. accounting for less than 10% of the market share in 2024. These dynamics create an exceptional opportunity for disruption that our custom-built business model can capitalize on to remain well-positioned for long-term growth. Over the years, we have leveraged our growing logistics network, which spans 316 metropolitan statistical areas, and our in-house distribution network, servicing over 80% of the U.S. population as of June 30, 2026, to sell 3.1 million retail vehicles, generating $97.9 billion in total revenue since inception in 2012 through June 30, 2026.

Our largest source of revenue, retail vehicle sales, totaled $5.5 billion and $3.4 billion during the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, and $10.3 billion and $6.4 billion during the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. We generally expect retail vehicle sales to trend proportionately with retail units sold, absent any material changes in macroeconomic conditions. We generate a majority of gross profit on retail vehicle sales from the difference between the retail selling price of the vehicle and our cost of sales associated with acquiring the vehicle and preparing it for sale. Retail vehicle sales also include shipping and delivery fees and service revenue from retail marketplace transactions, which are retail marketplace partner vehicles sold to customers through Carvana, that, depending on the structure of the partnership, may receive net revenue treatment.

We generally expect wholesale sales to trend proportionately with retail units sold through inventory we acquire via trade-ins and from customers who wish to sell us a car independent of a retail sale and with the movement of wholesale marketplace units. We generate gross profit on wholesale vehicle sales from the difference between the wholesale selling price of the vehicle and our cost of sales associated with acquiring the vehicle and preparing it for sale. We generate a gross profit on wholesale marketplace units from the difference between the revenue earned from the sale of wholesale marketplace units through our wholesale marketplace platform less our cost of sales associated with operating the wholesale marketplace platform.

The number of retail vehicles we sell depends on the volume of traffic to our website, our inventory selection, the effectiveness of our branding and marketing efforts, the quality of our customers' purchase experience, our volume of referrals and repeat customers, the competitiveness of our pricing, competition from other car dealerships and general macroeconomic and used car industry conditions, including inflationary pressures and benchmark interest rates, as well as those conditions that could arise from the global trade and geopolitical environment. On a quarterly basis, the number of retail vehicles we sell is also affected by seasonality, with demand for retail vehicles generally reaching a seasonal high point late in the first quarter of each year, commensurate with the timing of tax refunds, and diminishing through the rest of the year, with the lowest relative level of retail vehicle sales generally expected to occur in the fourth calendar quarter.

Wholesale sales and revenues include the aggregate proceeds we receive on vehicles we acquire and sell to wholesalers and wholesale marketplace revenues. The vehicles we sell to wholesalers are primarily acquired from customers who sell a vehicle to us without purchasing a retail vehicle and from our customers who trade in their existing vehicles when making a purchase from us. Factors affecting wholesale sales and revenues include the number of wholesale units sold and the average wholesale selling price of these vehicles, and macroeconomic conditions, including those that could arise from the global trade and geopolitical environment. The average selling price of our wholesale units is primarily driven by the mix of vehicles we sell to wholesalers, as well as general supply and demand conditions in the applicable wholesale vehicle market, including the level of depreciation in the wholesale vehicle market. Wholesale sales and revenues include aggregate proceeds we receive on vehicles sold to DriveTime through competitive online auctions that are managed by an unrelated third party and through the Company's wholesale marketplace platform. Wholesale marketplace revenues include fees paid by third parties related to the sale of wholesale marketplace units by third-party sellers or Carvana to buyers through our wholesale marketplace platform, including auction fees and related services revenue.

Master Purchase and Sale Agreement (as defined in Note 7 — Finance Receivable Sale Agreements of our financial statements included in Part I, Item 1, Financial Statements of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q the "Ally MPSA"), and through fixed pool loan sales, with financing partners who generally acquire them at premium prices without recourse to us for their post-sale performance. Factors affecting revenue from these sales include the number of loans we originate, the average principal balance of the loans, the credit quality of the portfolio, the price at which we are able to sell them in securitization transactions or to financing partners, and economic conditions in the capital markets.
Current wording
We generally seek to sell the loans we originate to securitization trusts we sponsor and establish or to financing partners. The securitization trusts issue asset-backed securities, some of which are collateralized by the finance receivables that we sell to the securitization trusts. We also sell the loans we originate under committed forward-flow arrangements, including the Ally Master Purchase and Sale Agreement (as defined in Note 7 — Finance Receivable Sale Agreements of our financial statements included in Part I, Item 1, Financial Statements of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q the "Ally MPSA"), and through fixed pool loan sales, with financing partners who generally acquire them at premium prices without recourse to us for their post-sale performance.

Previous wording
The number of loans we originate is driven by the number of retail vehicles sold and the percentage of our sales for which we provide financing, which is influenced by the financing terms we offer our customers relative to alternatives available to the customer. The average principal balance is driven primarily by the mix of vehicles we sell, since higher average selling prices typically mean higher average balances. The price at which we sell the loan is driven by the terms of our securitization transactions and forward-flow arrangement, applicable interest rates, and whether or not the loan includes GAP waiver coverage.

Cost of sales includes the cost to acquire, recondition, and transport vehicles associated with preparing them for resale, and wholesale marketplace cost of sales.

Reconditioning costs consist of direct costs, including parts, labor, and third-party repair expenses directly attributable to specific vehicles, as well as indirect costs, such as IRC and auction site overhead. Transportation costs consist of costs incurred to transport the vehicles from the point of acquisition to the IRC or other site. Cost of sales also includes any necessary adjustments to reflect vehicle inventory at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Wholesale marketplace cost of sales include costs related to the sale of wholesale marketplace units by third-party sellers through our wholesale marketplace platform, including labor, rent, depreciation and amortization.
