In This Article:

Reaches an Agreement to Recapitalize Debt

Positions the Company for Long-Term Growth

NEW YORK, November 12, 2024--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Vroom, Inc. (Nasdaq:VRM) today announced financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2024.

HIGHLIGHTS OF THIRD QUARTER 2024

  • $51.1 million cash and cash equivalents as of September 30, 2024

  • $32.9 million of liquidity available to UACC under the warehouse credit facilities

  • $(37.7) million net loss from continuing operations

  • $(25.5) million Adjusted EBITDA1

  • Entered into an agreement to restructure $290 million of unsecured convertible notes, into equity through a prepackaged Chapter 11 case.

Tom Shortt, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, said, "Since winding down our ecommerce used automotive dealer business, we have been focused on maximizing the value of our remaining assets for our stakeholders. We believe eliminating our unsecured notes will significantly strengthen our balance sheet and allow us to emerge without any long-term debt at Vroom, Inc., while its subsidiary, UACC, will continue to be obligated to debt that is related to asset-backed securitizations and their trust preferred securities. Our team remains focused on executing our Long-Term Strategic Plan announced in September. We continue to make progress on our key initiatives and are focused on portfolio performance, improving processes and technology, digitization and automation, and reducing costs across the business."

1) Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure. For definitions and a reconciliation to the most comparable GAAP measure, please see Non-GAAP Financial Measures section below.

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.
