Paul Hennessy, Chief Executive Officer of Vroom, commented:

Vroom had yet another strong quarter that continued the momentum that has been building all year. By executing well across our organization, we delivered triple digit year-over-year growth in both ecommerce units and gross profit, as well as improvement in unit economics. We also continued to optimize our mix of inventory sources throughout the quarter, with approximately 81% of our retail inventory sold sourced from consumers, enabling us to scale our inventory while maintaining strong unit economics. Looking ahead, we intend to continue to focus on strong execution and maintain the momentum in our business to drive continued growth in unit sales and on improving unit economics. We also are excited to move forward with our acquisition of United Auto Credit Corporation, which will accelerate our strategic objective to establish a captive financing arm.”

Ecommerce Units

Ecommerce units sold increased 123.1% to 19,683 driven by higher inventory levels, strong national brand recognition driven by our national advertising campaign and increased marketing spend, and increased demand due to growing consumer acceptance of our business model. The increase was also attributable to strong market demand generally for used vehicles, caused in part by the shortage of microchips and delays in new car manufacturing. Average monthly unique visitors to our platform increased 140.9% to 2,236,168.

  • Ecommerce Product revenue increased 213.5% to $24.5 million. The increase in ecommerce Product revenue was primarily attributable to the increase in ecommerce units sold as well as an increase in ecommerce Product revenue per unit, which increased from $886 to $1,245 per unit.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased 143.3% to $148.7 million. The increase was primarily due to:

  • $31.0 million increase in compensation and benefits due to an increase in headcount and an increase in variable fees for third-party sales and sales support providers as a result of an increase in units sold;
  • $19.9 million increase in marketing expense as we expanded our national broad-reach brand advertising, produced new commercials, and increased performance and online marketing as we continue to grow our listed inventory;
  • $14.2 million increase in outbound logistics costs primarily attributable to the growth in ecommerce units sold, which increased outbound logistics costs by $10.5 million, and increases in market rates of logistics providers, which increased outbound logistics costs by $3.7 million;
  • $5.9 million increase in professional fees primarily related to acquisition related costs incurred in connection with the definitive agreement to acquire UACC, as well as increased consulting expenses in the marketing and engineering departments; and
  • $14.5 million increase in other selling, general and administrative expenses primarily related to volume-based fees for software licenses and other variable expenses as our business continues to scale as well as additional insurance costs associated with being a publicly traded company and growing inventory.

We expect selling, general and administrative expenses to increase in the future as we continue to scale our business, integrate and invest in UACC, invest in and improve our customer experience, and continue expanding our proprietary logistics and reconditioning networks.

Loss from Operations and Net Loss

Loss from operations increased 154.9% to $94.0 million. Net loss increased 159.2% to $98.1 million.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to our results determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP, we believe the following non-GAAP financial measures are useful in evaluating our operating performance: EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted loss from operations, Non-GAAP net loss, Non-GAAP net loss per share and Non-GAAP net loss per share, as adjusted. These non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools in that they do not reflect all of the amounts associated with our results of operations as determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Because of these limitations, these non-GAAP financial measures should be considered along with other operating and financial performance measures presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, financial information prepared and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. We have reconciled all non-GAAP financial measures with the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures.

EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted loss from operations, Non-GAAP net loss, Non-GAAP net loss per share and Non-GAAP net loss per share, as adjusted are supplemental performance measures that our management uses to assess our operating performance and the operating leverage in our business. Because EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted loss from operations, Non-GAAP net loss, Non-GAAP net loss per share and Non-GAAP net loss per share, as adjusted, facilitate internal comparisons of our historical operating performance on a more consistent basis, we use these measures for business planning purposes.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA

We calculate EBITDA as net loss before interest expense, interest income, income tax expense and depreciation and amortization expense and we calculate Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA adjusted to exclude the one-time, IPO related acceleration of non-cash stock-based compensation expense, the one-time, IPO related non-cash revaluation of a preferred stock warrant and costs related to our acquisition of UACC. The following table presents a reconciliation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to net loss, which is the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure:

Non-GAAP net loss, Non-GAAP net loss per share and Non-GAAP net loss per share, as adjusted

We calculate Non-GAAP net loss as net loss adjusted to exclude the one-time, IPO related acceleration of non-cash stock-based compensation expense, the one-time, IPO related non-cash revaluation of a preferred stock warrant and costs related to our acquisition of UACC. We calculate Non-GAAP net loss per share as Non-GAAP net loss divided by weighted average number of shares outstanding.

Financial Outlook

For the full year 2021, we continue to expect triple digit year-over-year growth in ecommerce unit sales and more than 200% year-over-year growth in aggregate gross profit. For the fourth quarter 2021, we expect the following results:

  • Ecommerce unit sales of 20,000 to 20,500, implying year over year growth of 84% at the mid-point of the guidance range.
  • Average ecommerce selling price per unit of $35,000 to $36,000 and average ecommerce gross profit per unit of $2,100 to $2,300.
  • Wholesale unit sales of 6,500 to 7,500, average selling price per unit of $13,000 to $14,000 and average gross profit per unit of $550 to $750.
  • TDA unit sales of 1,500 to 1,600, average selling price per unit of $35,000 to $36,000 and average gross profit per unit of $1,800 to $2,000.
  • Total revenue of $865 to $900 million.
  • Total gross profit of $50 to $58 million.
  • Adjusted EBITDA* of $(104) to $(95) million.
  • Stock-based compensation expense of $4.2 million.
  • Net loss per share, as adjusted* of $(0.77) to $(0.70).

*A reconciliation of non-GAAP guidance measures to corresponding GAAP measures for our fourth quarter 2021 Financial Outlook is not available on a forward-looking basis without unreasonable effort due to the uncertainty regarding, and the potential variability of, these costs and expenses that may be incurred in the future. We have provided a reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures for the third quarter 2021 in the reconciliation table in the Non-GAAP Financial Measures section above.

We expect the following number of GAAP weighted average shares outstanding for the fourth quarter and the full year 2021:
