  • Machinio's subscription business expected to grow revenue by double digits.
  • RSCG segment expects to sustain similar volumes to this past fiscal second quarter’s record RSCG GMV.

Headwinds

  • Potential for softer used vehicle market prices may impact GovDeals.
  • Retail segment experiencing an inflow of lower value product mix that has dampened direct margins compared to last year.
  • Operating expenses year-over-year will be up similar to this past fiscal second quarter.
