Author's Avatar
Aug 08, 2024

Vroom, Inc. (Nasdaq:VRM) today announced financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2024.

HIGHLIGHTS OF SECOND QUARTER 2024

  • $63.4 million cash and cash equivalents as of June 30, 2024
  • $34.0 million of liquidity available to UACC under the warehouse credit facilities
  • $(19.1) million net loss from continuing operations
  • $(7.5) million Adjusted EBITDA
  • Successfully Completed UACC Securitization Transaction in April 2024

Tom Shortt, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, said “Overall, I am pleased with our second quarter 2024 results. We grew origination volume and our serviced loan portfolio year over year, while continuing to focus on portfolio performance. We currently expect originations since early 2023 to perform at pre-pandemic levels, and are beginning to see positive impacts of our prior decision to tighten credit, resulting in improvements in credit losses compared to the prior quarter. We are focused on improving processes and technology, digitization and automation, and reducing costs across the business.”

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 and Adjusted EBITDA. 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 and Adjusted EBITDA are supplemental performance measures that our management uses to assess our operating performance and the operating leverage in our business. Because EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA 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 on corporate debt, interest income on cash and cash equivalents, income tax expense and depreciation and amortization expense.

We calculate Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA adjusted to exclude stock compensation expense, severance expense related to the continuing operations, gain on debt extinguishment and long-lived asset impairment charges.

The following table presents a reconciliation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to net loss from continuing operations, which is the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure:
