Tailwinds

  • Vehicle supply remains lower than historical levels, but we believe it will improve as new vehicle production and inventory continue to recover.
  • We are expecting conversion rates and wholesale price depreciation to follow normal seasonal patterns for the balance of the year.

Headwinds

  • Fourth quarter non-GAAP net income (loss) guidance excludes approximately $15 million of stock-based compensation expense
  • Fourth quarter non-GAAP net income (loss) guidance excludes approximately $2 million of intangible amortization.
