Forward guidance

CarGurus anticipates total revenue between $220 million and $240 million, product revenue between $26 million and $36 million, non-GAAP Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA between $34 million and $42 million, and non-GAAP EPS between $0.22 and $0.25 for Q2 2023.

Tailwinds

  • Total revenue is expected to be $220 million to $240 million.
  • Product revenue is projected to be $26 million to $36 million.
  • Non-GAAP Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA is anticipated to be $34 million to $42 million.
  • Non-GAAP EPS is expected to be $0.22 to $0.25.
  • Guidance assumes 114.5 million diluted weighted-average common shares outstanding.

Headwinds

  • Guidance excludes macro-level industry issues that result in dealers and consumers materially changing their recent market behaviors.
  • Guidance excludes measures enacted to assist dealers.
  • Guidance excludes adjustments to the carrying value of redeemable noncontrolling interests resulting from potential changes in the redemption value of such interests.
  • Guidance excludes any potential impact of foreign currency exchange gains or losses.
  • Reconciliation of non-GAAP guidance measures to corresponding GAAP measures is not available without unreasonable effort.
