(1) Fiscal year 2022 includes UACC's results of operations starting on February 1, 2022.
Tom Shortt, Chief Executive Officer of Vroom, said, “In the fourth quarter we continued to make progress on our three key objectives and four strategic initiatives. We significantly reduced operating expenses quarter over quarter and continued to improve our operations and customer experience. We improved our titling process enabling us to end the year with 87% of units available for sale or pending sale versus 52% at the end of Q3, however it also increased the age of our inventory available for sale and inventory sold.
Gross profit per unit declined from $4,206 in Q3 to $1,233 in Q4 primarily due to three items. The decline quarter over quarter was impacted primarily by three items. First, the percentage of sales from aged units increased 5X from Q3 to Q4; 36% of our units sold during the 4th quarter were aged units we’ve held >270 days. Second, increased industry wide market depreciation. Third, higher inventory reserves primarily driven by recent electric unit OEM price decreases.
During 2022 we strategically slowed down the business while we improved our customer experience and processes across titling and registration, pricing, marketing, reconditioning and logistics, and began to insource our sales function from our primary third-party resource. During 2023, we expect to resume growth, sell through aged vehicles, improve variable cost per unit and reduce fixed costs.”
Bob Krakowiak, Vroom’s Chief Financial Officer, commented, “During the fourth quarter we further maximized liquidity and strengthened our balance sheet by repurchasing $198 million of our convertible notes and unlocking $70 million of cash-in-inventory and restricted cash. Combined with earlier note repurchases, we repurchased $254 million of our convertible notes throughout 2022. During 2023, we will continue to pursue opportunities to enhance our liquidity.”

In the second quarter of 2022, we reevaluated our reporting segments based on relative revenue and gross profit and significance in our long term strategy. As a result of that analysis, we determined to no longer report TDA as a separate operating segment. As of June 30, 2022, we are organized into three reportable segments: Ecommerce, Wholesale, and Retail Financing. We reclassified TDA revenue and TDA gross profit from the TDA reportable segment to the “All Other” category to conform to current year presentation. |
|
(2) |
All Other units consist of retail sales of used vehicles from TDA. |
|
(3) |
The Retail Financing segment represents UACC’s operations with its network of third-party dealership customers as of the closing of the UACC acquisition in February 2022. |
|
(4) |
All Other revenues and gross profit consist of retail sales of used vehicles from TDA and fees earned on sales of value-added products associated with those vehicles sales and the CarStory business. |
|
(5) |
Gross profit per unit metrics exclude the Retail Financing gross profit and All Other gross profit. |

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 EBITDA excluding non-recurring costs to address operational and customer experience issues;
- Adjusted EBITDA excluding securitization gain;
- Adjusted EBITDA excluding securitization gain and non-recurring costs to address operational and customer experience issues;
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 EBITDA excluding non-recurring costs to address operational and customer experience issues, Adjusted EBITDA excluding securitization gain, and Adjusted EBITDA excluding securitization gain and non-recurring costs to address operational and customer experience issues are supplemental performance measures that our management uses to assess our operating performance and the operating leverage in our business. Because each of these non-GAAP financial measures facilitate internal comparisons of our historical operating performance on a more consistent basis, we use these measures for business planning purposes.
EBITDA
We calculate EBITDA as net loss before interest expense, interest income, income tax expense and depreciation and amortization expense.
Adjusted EBITDA
We calculate Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA adjusted to exclude realignment costs, acquisition related costs, change in fair value of finance receivables, goodwill impairment charge, gain on debt extinguishment, acceleration of non-cash stock-based compensation, and other costs, which primarily relate to the impairment of long-lived assets. Changes in fair value of finance receivables can fluctuate significantly from period to period and relate primarily to historical loans and debt which have been securitized, and acquired on February 1, 2022 from UACC. Our ongoing business model is to originate or purchase finance receivables with the intent to sell which we recognize at the lower of cost or fair value. Therefore, these historical finance receivables acquired, which are accounted for under the fair value option, will experience fluctuations in value from period to period. We believe it is appropriate to remove this temporary volatility from our Adjusted EBITDA results to better reflect our ongoing business model. Additionally, these historical finance receivables acquired from UACC are expected to run-off within approximately 12 months.
Adjusted EBITDA excluding non-recurring costs to address operational and customer experience issues
We calculate Adjusted EBITDA excluding non-recurring costs to address operational and customer experience issues as Adjusted EBITDA adjusted to exclude the non-recurring costs incurred to address operational and customer experience issues, including rental cars for our customers and legal settlements with customers and state DMVs. While we expect to continue to incur these costs over the next few quarterly periods, we do not expect these costs to continue to be incurred once our operational issues have been resolved.
Adjusted EBITDA excluding securitization gain
We calculate Adjusted EBITDA excluding securitization gain as Adjusted EBITDA adjusted to exclude the securitization gain from the sale of UACC's finance receivables, and believe that it provides a useful perspective on the underlying operating results and trends and a means to compare our period-over-period results.
Adjusted EBITDA excluding securitization gain and non-recurring costs to address operational and customer experience issues
We calculate Adjusted EBITDA excluding securitization gain and non-recurring costs to address operational and customer experience issues as Adjusted EBITDA adjusted to exclude the securitization gain from the sale of UACC’s finance receivables and the non-recurring costs incurred to address operational and customer experience issues.
The following table presents a reconciliation of the foregoing non-GAAP financial measures to net loss, which is the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure:
