Tailwinds

  • We believe that supply headwinds impacting wholesale volumes in 2022 will persist in the near-term but will begin to ease as new vehicle production and inventory continue to recover.
  • We are expecting wholesale price depreciation to moderate in 2023, resulting in conversion rates normalizing throughout the year.

Headwinds

  • Second quarter non-GAAP net income (loss) guidance excludes approximately $13 million of stock-based compensation expense and approximately $1 million of intangible amortization.
  • Full-year non-GAAP net income (loss) guidance excludes approximately $55 million of stock-based compensation expense and $5 million of intangible amortization.
