Tailwinds
- Dealer wholesale volumes are expected to improve modestly in the back-half of 2024, primarily due to increasing new vehicle supply and retail sales.
- Conversion rates and wholesale price depreciation expected to follow normal seasonal patterns.
- Revenue growth is expected to outpace Non-GAAP Operating Expense growth (excluding Cost of Revenue and Depreciation and Amortization) by approximately 10 percentage points.
- Second quarter non-GAAP net income guidance excludes approximately $18 million of stock-based compensation expense and approximately $3 million of intangible amortization.
- Full-year non-GAAP net income guidance excludes approximately $70 million of stock-based compensation expense and $10 million of intangible amortization.
Headwinds
- GAAP net income (loss) of ($19) to ($17) million for Q2 2024.
- GAAP net income (loss) of ($85) to ($80) million for full year 2024.
- Dealer wholesale volumes remain below historical levels due to lower-than-normal new and used vehicle inventory, which is causing dealers to keep more trades for retail.
- Market headwinds will ease resulting in modest growth in dealer wholesale volumes in the back-half of 2024.
- The forward-looking statements are based on ACV’s current assumptions, expectations and beliefs and are subject to substantial risks, uncertainties and changes in circumstances
