Vroom Announces First Quarter 2024 Results

Successfully Completed UACC Securitization Transaction in April 2024

Continued Progress on UACC Origination Performance

NEW YORK – May 10, 2024 – Vroom, Inc. (Nasdaq:VRM) today announced financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2024.

HIGHLIGHTS OF FIRST QUARTER 2024

•

$91.0 million cash and cash equivalents as of March 31, 2024

•

$(44.7) million net loss from continuing operations

•

$(32.2) million Adjusted EBITDA

•

Substantially completed the ecommerce wind-down

•

Adopted new reporting segments to align with continuing operations at United Auto Credit (UACC) and CarStory

Tom Shortt, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, said “As we previously announced, our ecommerce wind-down was substantially completed during the first quarter of 2024. I am extremely proud of our team’s timely and orderly execution of the wind-down and continued focus on strengthening UACC’s operations. We have focused on portfolio performance at UACC and currently expect originations since early 2023 to perform at a level that enables UACC to drive toward profitability. We continue to take other actions to maximize stakeholder value by seeking to monetize our ecommerce platform and grow and enhance the profitability of UACC and CarStory.”

Bob Krakowiak, Vroom’s Chief Financial Officer, commented, “We ended the quarter with cash and cash equivalents of approximately $91 million. The cash burn was primarily a result of the ecommerce wind-down, as we paid severance and other personnel-related costs and incurred exit costs associated with early termination or modification of ecommerce contracts and leases. I am pleased with the completion of UACC’s 2024-1 securitization transaction, in which $262.5 million of rated asset-backed securities were sold in April 2024, and $37.5 million of non-investment grade securities initially retained were subsequently sold in early May 2024.”

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, gain on debt extinguishment and long-lived asset impairment charges.

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