NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)


NOTE 1 — BUSINESS ORGANIZATION

Description of Business

Carvana Co. and its wholly-owned subsidiary Carvana Co. Sub LLC (collectively, "Carvana Co."), together with its consolidated subsidiaries (the "Company"), is the leading e-commerce platform for buying and selling used cars. The Company is transforming the used car sales experience by giving consumers what they want — a wide selection, great value and quality, transparent pricing, and a simple, no pressure transaction. Using the website, customers can complete all phases of a used vehicle purchase transaction, including financing their purchase, trading in their current vehicle, and purchasing complementary products such as vehicle service contracts ("VSC") and GAP waiver coverage. Each element of the Company's business, from inventory procurement to fulfillment and overall ease of the online transaction, has been built for this singular purpose.

Organization

Carvana Co. is a holding company that was formed as a Delaware corporation on November 29, 2016 for the purpose of completing its initial public offering ("IPO") and related transactions in order to operate the business of Carvana Group, LLC and its subsidiaries (collectively, "Carvana Group"). Substantially all of the Company’s assets and liabilities represent the assets and liabilities of Carvana Group, except the Company's Senior Notes (as defined in Note 910 — Debt Instruments) which were issued by Carvana Co. and guaranteed by its and Carvana Group's existing domestic restricted subsidiaries.

In accordance with Carvana Group LLC's amended and restated limited liability company agreement (the "LLC Agreement"), Carvana Co. is the sole manager of Carvana Group and conducts, directs and exercises full control over the activities of Carvana Group. There are 2 classes of common ownership interests in Carvana Group, Class A common units (the "Class A Units") and Class B common units (the "Class B Units"). As further discussed in Note 1011 — Stockholders' Equity, the Class A Units and Class B Units (collectively, the "LLC Units") do not hold voting rights, which results in Carvana Group being considered a variable interest entity ("VIE"). Due to Carvana Co.'s power to control and its significant economic interest in Carvana Group, it is considered the primary beneficiary of the VIE and the Company consolidates the financial results of Carvana Group. As of March 31, 2021,2022, Carvana Co. owned approximately 45.7%51.5% of Carvana Group and the LLC Unitholders (as defined in Note 1011 — Stockholders' Equity) owned the remaining 54.3%48.5%.

NOTE 2 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP") for interim financial information. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements have been condensed or omitted. The Company believes the disclosures made are adequate to prevent the information presented from being misleading. However, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included within the Company's most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on February 25, 2021. In addition, in 2021, the Company has changed its presentation from thousands to millions and, as a result, any necessary rounding adjustments have been made to prior year disclosed amounts.24, 2022.
    
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal and recurring items) necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position as of March 31, 2021, and2022, results of operations and changes in stockholder's equity for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 20212022 and 2020.2021. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of full year performance because of the impact of seasonal and short-term variations.

As discussed in Note 1 — Business Organization, Carvana Group is considered a VIE and Carvana Co. consolidates its financial results due to the determination that it is the primary beneficiary.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions. Certain accounting estimates involve significant judgments, assumptions and estimates by management that have a material impact on the carrying value of certain assets and liabilities, disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period, which management considers to be critical accounting estimates. The judgments, assumptions and estimates used by management are based on historical experience, management’s experience, and other factors, which are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Because of the nature of the judgments and assumptions made by management, actual results could differ materially from these judgments and estimates, which could have a material impact on the carrying values of the Company’s assets and liabilities and the results of operations.

Adoption of New Accounting Standards not Adopted Yet

In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting ("ASU 2020-04"). ASU 2020-04 provides optional guidance for a limited period of time related to contract modifications and hedge accounting to ease the potential burden in accounting for (or recognizing the effects of) reference rate reform on financial reporting. The standard is effective from March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022, except for hedging relationships existing as of December 31, 2022 that an entity has elected certain optional expedients for and that are retained through the end of the hedging relationship. The Company may elect to take advantage of this optional guidance in its transition away from LIBOR within certain debt contracts but does not expect a material impact on its consolidated financial statements. In JanuaryOctober 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-01,2021-08, Reference Rate ReformBusiness Combinations (Topic 848)805): ScopeAccounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers (". ASU 2021-01"), which refines2021-08 requires contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in a business combination to be recognized and measured by the scopeacquirer on the acquisition date in accordance with ASC 606 instead of Topic 848being recorded at fair value. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, with early adoption permitted. The Company plans to early adopt this ASU during the quarter ended June 30, 2022 and clarifies some of its guidance as partis currently evaluating the expected impact of the FASB's monitoringadoption of global reference rate activities. As of March 31, 2021,this guidance on the Company had not modified any contracts or had any hedge accounting activity in which it utilized the optional guidance under ASU 2020-04 and ASU 2021-01.consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 67 — RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Lease Agreements

In November 2014, the Company and DriveTime Automotive Group (together with its consolidated affiliates, collectively, "DriveTime"“DriveTime”), a related party of the Company due to Ernest Garcia II, Ernest Garcia III, and entities controlled by one or both of them (collectively the "Garcia Parties") controlling and owning substantially all interest in DriveTime, entered into a lease agreement that governs the Company’s access to and utilization of temporary storage, reconditioning, offices and parking space at various DriveTime facilities (the "DriveTime Lease Agreement"). The DriveTime Lease Agreement was most recently amended in December 2018. Lease duration varies by location, with cancellable terms, provided 60 days' prior written notice is given, expiring between 20212022 and 2024. The Company has the right to exercise up to 2 consecutive one-year renewal options

at up to 10 of these locations, less the number of locations renewed under the DriveTime Hub Lease Agreement described below.

In March 2017, the Company and DriveTime entered into a lease agreement that governs the Company's access to and utilization of office and parking space at various DriveTime facilities (the "DriveTime Hub Lease Agreement"). The DriveTime Hub Lease Agreement was most recently amended in September 2020.July 2021. Lease expiration varies by location with most having cancellable terms, provided 60 days' prior written notice is given, expiring in 2021between 2022 and 2023 and the Company having the right to

exercise up to 2 consecutive one-year renewal options at up to 10 of these locations, less the number of locations renewed under the DriveTime Lease Agreement described above.

The DriveTime Lease Agreement and the DriveTime Hub Lease Agreement both have non-cancellable lease terms of less than twelve months with rights to terminate at the Company's election with 60 days' prior written notice and extension options as described above. At non-reconditioning locations, it is not reasonably certain that the Company will exercise its options to extend the leases or abstain from exercising its termination rights within these lease agreements to create a lease term greater than one year and therefore the Company accounts for them as short-term leases. For these locations, the Company makes variable monthly lease payments based on its pro rata utilization of space at each facility plus a pro rata share of each facility’s actual insurance costs and real estate taxes. Management has determined that the costs allocated to the Company are based on a reasonable methodology. The DriveTime Lease Agreement includes the Blue Mound and Delanco IRCs. At both of these locations, the Company expects to extend the lease terms beyond twelve months, therefore those locations are not considered short-term leases. The Company occupies all of the space at these IRCs and makes monthly lease payments based on DriveTime's actual rent expense. In addition, the Company is responsible for the actual insurance costs and real estate taxes at these IRC locations.

At all locations, the Company is additionally responsible for paying for any tenant improvements it requires to conduct its operations. Management has determined that the costs allocated to the Company are based on a reasonable methodology.

In 2016 and 2018, the Company entered into lease agreements related to an IRC in Tolleson, Arizona, with Verde Investments, Inc., an affiliate of DriveTime ("Verde"), with an initial term of approximately 15 years. In September 2020, to consummate a sale leaseback transaction with an unrelated third party, the Company exercised a pre-existing option to purchase the leased land and related assets from Verde for its net book value of approximately $22 million thus terminating the lease agreements. The Company immediately sold such land and related assets along with the Company's leasehold improvements at the IRC to a third party who simultaneously leased back the land and the IRC to the Company.

In February 2017, the Company entered into a lease agreement with DriveTime for sole occupancy of a fully operational IRC in Winder, Georgia, where the Company previously maintained partial occupancy. The lease has an initial term of eight years, subject to the Company's ability to exercise 3 renewal options of five years each.

In November 2018, the Company entered into a leasesublease agreement withfrom DriveTime of a fully operational IRC near Cleveland, Ohio. DriveTime vacated the facility in February 2019, at which point the Company became the sole occupant and began leasing the full facility from DriveTime. The lease has an initial term of three years, subject to the Company's ability to exercise 3 renewal options of five years each. In July 2021, the Company exercised the first renewal option to extend through October 2026 and agreed to assume the lease from DriveTime effective October 1, 2021.

Expenses related to these operating lease agreements are allocated based on usage to inventory and selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets and statements of operations. Costs allocated to inventory are recognized as cost of sales when the inventory is sold. During the three months ended March 31, 2021, totalTotal costs related to these operating lease agreements, including those noted above, were approximately $1 million with approximately $0.5 million and $0.8 million allocated to inventory and selling, general and administrative expenses, respectively. Duringduring each of the three months ended March 31, 2020, total costs related to these lease agreements were approximately $2 million, with approximately $1 million2022 and 2021, allocated to bothbetween inventory and selling, general and administrative expenses.

In February 2019, the Company entered into an agreement to assume a lease of an IRC near Nashville, Tennessee that DriveTime leased from an unrelated landlord. While the Company solely occupies the IRC, DriveTime is not fully released from the lease obligations by the landlord. The lease expires in four years,October 2023, subject to the ability to exercise 3 renewal options of five years each. DriveTime remained an occupant of the facility through April 1, 2019, after which the Company became the sole occupant, but is not fully released from the lease obligations by the landlord.

Corporate Office Leases

In September 2016, the Company entered into a lease for the second floor of its corporate headquarters in Tempe, Arizona. In connection with that lease, the Company entered into a sublease with DriveTime for the use of the first floor of the same building. The lease and sublease each have a term of 83 months, subject to the right to exercise 3 five-year extension options. Pursuant to the sublease, the Company will pay the rent equal to the amounts due under DriveTime's master lease directly to DriveTime's landlord. The rent expense incurred related to this first floor sublease was less than $1 million during each of the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021.

In December 2019,owning substantially all interest in Verde, purchased an office building in Tempe, Arizona that the Company leased from an unrelated landlord prior to Verde's purchase. In connection with the purchase, Verde assumed that lease. The lease has an initial term of ten years, subject to the right to exercise 2 five-year extension options. The rent expense incurred under the lease with Verde was approximately $0.2less than $1 million during each of the three months ended March 31, 20212022 and 2020.2021.

In 2020, DriveTime began purchasing wholesale vehicles from the Company through competitive online auctions that are managed by an unrelated third party. As a result, the Company recognized approximately $6$14 million and less than $1$6 million of wholesale revenue from DriveTime during the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Retail Vehicle Acquisitions and 2020, respectively.Reconditioning

During the second quarter of 2021, the Company began acquiring reconditioned retail vehicles from DriveTime. The purchase price of each vehicle was equal to the wholesale price of the vehicle plus a fee for transportation and reconditioning services. In addition, DriveTime performs reconditioning services for the Company at DriveTime reconditioning centers. As of March 31, 2022, approximately $16 million related to vehicles and reconditioning services were included in vehicle inventory in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Company also recognized approximately $9 million of cost of goods sold during the three months ended March 31, 2022, related to vehicles acquired from and reconditioning services performed by DriveTime.

Master Dealer Agreement

In December 2016, the Company entered into a master dealer agreement with DriveTime (the "Master Dealer Agreement"), pursuant to which the Company may sell VSCs to customers purchasing a vehicle from the Company. The Company earns a commission on each VSC sold to its customers, and DriveTime is obligated by and subsequently administers the VSCs. The Company collects the retail purchase price of the VSCs from its customers and remits the purchase price net of commission to DriveTime. During the three months ended March 31, 20212022 and 2020,2021, the Company recognized approximately $38$47 million and $18$38 million, respectively, of commissions earned on VSCs sold to its customers and administered by DriveTime, net of a reserve for estimated contract cancellations. The commission earned on the sale of these VSCs is included in other sales and revenues in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. In November 2018, the Company amended the Master Dealer Agreement to allow the Company to receive payments for excess reserves based on the performance of the VSCs versus the reserves held by the VSC administrator, once a required claims period for such VSCs has passed. In August 2020 and April 2021, the Company and DriveTime amended the Master Dealer Agreement to adjust excess reserve payment calculations and timing and the scope of DriveTime's after-sale administration services, respectively. The Company recognized approximately $4$1 million and $2$4 million during the three months ended March 31, 20212022 and 2020,2021, respectively, related to payments for excess reserves to which it expects to be entitled, which is included in other sales and revenues in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Beginning in 2017, DriveTime also administers the Company's limited warranty provided to all customers and a portion of the Company's GAP waiver coverage under the Master Dealer Agreement. The Company pays a per-vehicle fee to DriveTime to administer the limited warranty included with every purchase and prior to the first quarter of 2020 paid a per-contract fee to DriveTime to administer a portion of the GAP waiver coverage it sells to its customers. Since the first quarter of 2020, the Company's GAP waiver coverage sales have been administered by an unrelated party. The Company incurred approximately $3$4 million and $1$3 million during the three months ended March 31, 20212022 and 2020,2021, respectively, related to the administration of limited warranty and GAP waiver coverage.

NOTE 89 — SECURITIZATIONS AND VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES

As noted in Note 78 — Finance Receivable Sale Agreements, the Company sponsors and establishes securitization trusts to purchase finance receivables from the Company. The securitization trusts issue asset-backed securities, some of which are collateralized by the finance receivables that the Company sells to the securitization trusts. Upon sale of the finance receivables to the securitization trusts, the Company recognizes a gain or loss on sales of finance receivables. The net proceeds from the sales are the fair value of the assets obtained as part of the transactions and typically include cash and at least 5% of the beneficial interests issued by the securitization trusts to comply with Regulation RR of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 (the "Risk Retention Rules"). The beneficial interests retained by the Company include, but are not limited to, rated notes and certificates of the securitization trusts. The holders of the certificates issued by the securitization trusts have rights to cash flows only after the holders of the notes issued by the securitization trusts have received their contractual cash flows. The securitization trusts have no direct recourse to the Company’s assets, and holders of the securities issued by the securitization trusts can look only to the assets of the securitization trusts that issued their securities for payment. The beneficial interests held by the Company are subject principally to the credit and prepayment risk stemming from the underlying finance receivables.

The securitization trusts established in connection with asset-backed securitization transactions are VIEs. For each VIE that the Company establishes in its role as sponsor of securitization transactions, it performs an analysis to determine whether or not it is the primary beneficiary of the VIE. The Company’s continuing involvement with the VIEs consists of retaining a portion of the securities issued by the VIEs and performing ministerial duties as the trust administrator. As of March 31, 2021,2022, the Company is not the primary beneficiary of these securitization trusts because its retained interests in the VIEs do not have exposures to losses or benefits that could potentially be significant to the VIEs. TheAs such, the Company does not consolidate the securitization trusts.

The assets the Company retains in the unconsolidated VIEs are presented as beneficial interests in securitizations on the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets, which as of March 31, 20212022 and December 31, 20202021 were

The following table summarizes the carrying value and total exposure to losses of its assets related to unconsolidated VIEs with which the Company has continuing involvement, but is not the primary beneficiary at March 31, 20212022 and December 31, 2020.2021. Total exposure represents the estimated loss the Company would incur under severe, hypothetical circumstances, such as if the value of the interests in the securitization trusts and any associated collateral declined to zero. The Company believes the possibility of this is remote. As such, the total exposure presented below is not an indication of the Company's expected losses.

Short-Term Revolving Facilities

Floor Plan Facility

The Company has a floor plan facility with a lender to finance its used vehicle inventory (the "Floor Plan Facility"), which is secured by the Company's vehicles, general intangibles, accounts receivable, and finance receivables. Under the Floor Plan Facility, repayment of amounts drawn for the purchase of a vehicle should generally be made within several days after selling or otherwise disposing of the vehicle. Outstanding balances related to vehicles held in inventory for more than 180 days require monthly principal payments equal to 10% of the original principal amount of that vehicle until the remaining outstanding balance is the lesser of (i) 50% of the original principal amount or (ii) 50% of the wholesale value. Prepayments may be made without incurring a premium or penalty. Additionally, the Company is permitted to make prepayments to the lender to be held as principal payments under the Floor Plan Facility and subsequently reborrow such amounts. The Floor Plan Facility also requires monthly interest payments and that at least 7.5% of the total principal amount owed to the lender is held as restricted cash.

Effective October 1, 2020, the Company amended the Floor Plan Facility to increase the line of credit to $1.25 billion, reduce the interest rate to one-month LIBOR plus 3.15%, and extend the maturity date to March 31, 2023. Effective March 1, 2021, the interest rate was reduced to one-month LIBOR plus 2.65%. Effective July 1, 2021, the line of credit was increased to $1.75 billion, and the LIBOR-based interest rate was amended to a substantially similar rate tied to a prime rate minus 0.50%, in advance of the cessation of LIBOR. Effective December 1, 2021, the line of credit was increased to $2.25 billion. Effective February 1, 2022, the Company amended its Floor Plan Facility to increase the line of credit to $3.0 billion through September 22, 2022.

twelve months and is included in current portion of long-term debt in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Real Estate Financing

The Company finances certain purchases and construction of its property and equipment through various sale and leaseback transactions. As of March 31, 2021,2022, none of these transactions have qualified for sale accounting due to meeting the criteria for finance leases, or forms of continuing involvement, such as repurchase options or renewal periods that extend the lease for substantially all of the asset's remaining useful life, and are therefore accounted for as financing transactions. These arrangements require monthly payments and have initial terms of 20 to 25 years. Some of the agreements are subject to renewal options of up to 25 years and some are subject to base rent increases throughout the term. As of both March 31, 20212022 and December 31, 2020,2021, the outstanding liability associated with these sale and leaseback arrangements, net of unamortized debt issuance costs, was approximately $404$444 million, and $385 million, respectively, and was included in long-term debt in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Financing of Beneficial Interests in Securitizations

As discussed in Note 89 — Securitizations and Variable Interest Entities, the Company has retained certain beneficial interests in securitizations pursuant to the Company’s obligations as a sponsor under Risk Retention Rules. Beginning in June 2019, the Company entered into secured borrowing facilities through which it finances certain retained beneficial interests in securitizations whereby the Company sells such interests and agrees to repurchase them for their fair value at a stated time of repurchase.

As of March 31, 20212022 and December 31, 2020,2021, the Company has pledged approximately $95$270 million and $81$282 million, respectively, of its beneficial interests in securitizations as collateral under the repurchase agreements with expected repurchases ranging from January 2026July 2024 to JanuarySeptember 2028. The securitization trusts distribute payments related to the Company's pledged beneficial interests in securitizations directly to the lenders, which reduces the beneficial interests in securitizations and the related debt balance. Pledged collateral levels are monitored daily and are generally maintained at an agreed-upon

percentage of the fair value of the amounts borrowed during the life of the transactions. In the event of a decline in the fair value of the pledged collateral, the repurchase price of the pledged collateral will be increased by the amount of the decline.

The outstanding balance of these facilities, net of unamortized debt issuance costs, was approximately $93$267 million and $79$279 million as of March 31, 20212022 and December 31, 2020,2021, respectively, of which approximately $22$92 million as of each dateand $93 million, respectively, was included in current portion of long-term debt in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Sub, LLC's 0.1% ownership interest in Carvana, LLC) and (ii) a four-to-five ratio between the number of shares of Class B common stock owned by the original holders of LLC units prior to the IPO (the "Original LLC Unitholders") and the number of Class A Units owned by the Original LLC Unitholders. The Company may issue shares of Class B common stock only to the extent necessary to maintain these ratios. Shares of Class B common stock are transferable only if an Original LLC Unitholder elects to exchange them, together with 1.25 times as many LLC Units, for consideration from the Company. Such consideration from the Company can be, at the Company’s election, either shares of Class A common stock or cash.

As of both March 31, 20212022 and December 31, 2020,2021, there were approximately 215216 million Class A Units, for both periods presented, and 2 million and 3 million Class B Units, respectively, (as adjusted for the participation thresholds and closing price of Class A common stock on March 31, 20212022 and December 31, 2020)2021), issued and outstanding. As discussed in Note 1213 — Equity-Based Compensation, Class B Units were issued under the Company’s LLC Equity Incentive Plan (the "LLC Equity Incentive Plan") and are subject to a participation threshold, and are earned over the requisite service period.

Exchange Agreement

Carvana Co. and the Original LLC Unitholders together with any holders of LLC Units issued subsequent to the IPO (together, the "LLC Unitholders") entered into an Exchange Agreement under which each LLC Unitholder (and certain permitted transferees thereof) may receive shares of the Company's Class A common stock in exchange for their LLC Units on a four-to-five conversion ratio, or cash at the option of the Company, subject to (i) conversion ratio adjustments for stock splits, stock dividends, reclassifications and similar transactions, (ii) vesting for certain LLC Units, and (iii) the respective participation threshold for Class B Units. To the extent such owners also hold Class B common stock, they are required to deliver to Carvana Co. a number of shares of Class B common stock equal to the number of shares of Class A common stock

being exchanged for. Any shares of Class B common stock so delivered are canceled. The number of exchangeable Class B Units is determined based on the value of Carvana Co.'s Class A common stock and the applicable participation threshold.

During the three months ended March 31, 20212022 and 2020,2021, certain LLC Unitholders exchanged approximately 4 million and less than 1 million and 4 million LLC Units and approximately 30 million and less than 13 million shares of Class B common stock for approximately 3less than 1 million and less than 13 million newly-issued shares of Class A common stock, respectively. Simultaneously, and in connection with these exchanges, Carvana Co. received approximately 4less than 1 million and less than 14 million LLC Units during the three months ended March 31, 20212022 and 2020,2021, respectively, increasing its total ownership interest in Carvana Group, and canceled the exchanged shares of Class B common stock.

Class A Non-Convertible Preferred Units

On October 2, 2018, Carvana Group, LLC amended its LLC Agreement to create a class of non-convertible preferred units (the "Class A Non-Convertible Preferred Units"), effective September 21, 2018. The Class A Non-Convertible Preferred Units were created in connection with Carvana Co.'s issuance of its Senior Notes, as discussed further and defined in Note 910 — Debt Instruments. On October 2, 2020, Carvana Group, LLC amended and restated its LLC Agreement to, among other things, authorize the issuance of 1.1 million Class A Non-Convertible Preferred Units to be sold to Carvana Co. in connection with the issuance of its 2025 and 2028 Notes and authorize the issuance of additional Class A Non-Convertible Preferred Units, in each case in consideration for the capital contribution made or deemed to have been made by Carvana Co. of the net proceeds of senior unsecured notes issuances. On March 29, 2021, Carvana Group, LLC issued 0.6 million Class A Non-Convertible Preferred Units in connection with the issuance of its 2027 Notes. On August 16, 2021, Carvana Group LLC issued approximately 0.8 million Class A Non-Convertible Preferred Units in connection with the issuance of its 2029 Notes. Carvana Co. used its net proceeds from the 2023 Notes, the 2025 and 2028 Notes, the 2027 Notes, and the 20272029 Notes, to purchase 0.6 million, 1.1 million, 0.6 million, and 0.60.8 million, respectively, of Class A Non-Convertible Preferred Units.

When Carvana Co. makes payments on the Senior Notes, Carvana Group makes an equal cash distribution, as necessary, to the Class A Non-Convertible Preferred Units. For each $1,000 principal amount of Senior Notes that Carvana Co. repays or otherwise retires, 1 Class A Non-Convertible Preferred Unit is canceled and retired. As discussed further in Note 9 — Debt Instruments, the Company redeemed its 2023 Notes on October 2, 2020 using a portion of its net proceeds from the issuance of its 2025 and 2028 Notes, at which point 0.6 million Class A Non-Convertible Preferred Units were canceled and retired.

NOTE 1112 — NON-CONTROLLING INTERESTS

As discussed in Note 1 — Business Organization, Carvana Co. consolidates the financial results of Carvana Group and reports a non-controlling interest related to the portion of Carvana Group owned by the LLC Unitholders. Changes in the ownership interest in Carvana Group while Carvana Co. retains its controlling interest will be accounted for as equity transactions. Exchanges of LLC Units result in a change in ownership and reduce the amount recorded as non-controlling interests and increase additional paid-in capital.

Upon the issuance of shares of Class A common stock by Carvana Co. related to the Company’s equity compensation plans such as the exercise of options, issuance of restricted or non-restricted stock, payment of bonuses in stock or settlement of stock appreciation rights in stock, Carvana Group is required to issue to Carvana Co. a number of Class A Units equal to 1.25 times the number of shares of Class A common stock being issued in connection with the exercise of such options or issuance of other types of equity compensation, subject to adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends, reclassifications and similar transactions. Activity related to the Company's equity compensation plans may result in a change in ownership which will impact the amount recorded as non-controlling interest and additional paid-in capital.

The non-controlling interest related to the Class B Units is determined based on the respective participation thresholds and the share price of Class A common stock on an as-converted basis. To the extent that the number of as-converted Class B Units change or Class B Units are forfeited, the resulting difference in ownership will be accounted for as equity transactions adjusting the non-controlling interest and additional paid-in capital.

During the three months ended March 31, 20212022 and 2020,2021, the total adjustments related to exchanges of LLC Units were a decrease in non-controlling interests and a corresponding increase in additional paid-in capital of approximately $12$1 million and less than $1$12 million, respectively, which have been included in exchanges of LLC Units in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of stockholders' equity.

As of March 31, 2021,2022, Carvana Co. owned approximately 45.7%51.5% of Carvana Group with the LLC Unitholders owning the remaining 54.3%48.5%. The net loss attributable to the non-controlling interests on the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations represents the portion of the net loss attributable to the economic interest in Carvana Group held by the non-controlling LLC Unitholders calculated based on the weighted average non-controlling interests' ownership during the periods presented.

NOTE 1213 — EQUITY-BASED COMPENSATION

Equity-based compensation is recognized based on amortizing the grant-date fair value on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period of the award, less actual forfeitures. A summary of equity-based compensation recognized during the three months ended March 31, 20212022 and 20202021 is as follows:

As of March 31, 2021,2022, the total unrecognized compensation related to outstanding equity awards was approximately $106$186 million, which the Company expects to recognize over a weighted-average period of approximately 3.02.5 years. Total unrecognized equity-based compensation will be adjusted for actual forfeitures.

2017 Omnibus Incentive Plan

In connection with the IPO, the Company adopted the 2017 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the "2017 Incentive Plan"). Under the 2017 Incentive Plan, 14 million shares of Class A common stock are available for issuance, which the Company may grant as stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units and other stock-based awards to employees, directors, officers and consultants. The majority of equity granted by the Company, other than equity granted in relation to the CEO Milestone Gift, vests over four year periods based on continued employment with the Company. As of March 31, 2021,2022, approximately 109 million shares remain available for future equityequity-based award grants under this plan.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan

In May 2021, the Company adopted an employee stock purchase plan (the "ESPP"). On July 1, 2021, the ESPP went into effect. The ESPP allows substantially all employees, excluding members of senior management, to acquire shares of the Company’s Class A common stock through payroll deductions over six-month offering periods, commencing on January 1 and July 1 of each year. The per share purchase price is equal to 90% of the fair market value of a share of the Company’s Class A common stock on the last day of the offering period. Participant purchases are limited to a maximum of $10,000 of stock per calendar year. The Company is authorized to grant up to 0.5 million shares of Class A common stock under the ESPP. During the three months ending March 31, 2022, the Company has not issued any shares of Class A common stock, in regards to its second six month offering period, and recognized less than $1 million of equity-based compensation expense related to the ESPP for the three months ended March 31, 2022.

Class A Units

During 2018, the Company granted certain employees Class A Units with service-based vesting over two- to four-year periods and a grant-date fair value of $18.58 per Class A Unit. The grantees entered into the Exchange Agreement under which each LLC Unitholder (and certain permitted transferees thereof) may receive shares of the Company's Class A common stock in exchange for their LLC Units on a four-to-five conversion ratio, or cash at the option of the Company, subject to conversion ratio adjustments for stock splits, stock dividends, reclassifications, and similar transactions and subject to vesting. The Company incurred less than $1 million of equity-based compensation related to the Class A Units during each of the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020.

Class B Units

In March 2015, Carvana Group adopted the LLC Equity Incentive Plan. Under the LLC Equity Incentive Plan, Carvana Group could grant Class B Units to eligible employees, non-employee officers, consultants and directors with service-based vesting, typically four- to five-years. In connection with the completion of the IPO, Carvana Group discontinued the grant of new awards under the LLC Equity Incentive Plan, however the LLC Equity Incentive Plan will continue in connection with administration of existing awards that remain outstanding. Grantees may receive shares of the Company's Class A common stock in exchange for their Class B Units on a four-to-five conversion ratio, or cash at the option of the Company, subject to

conversion ratio adjustments for stock splits, stock dividends, reclassifications, and similar transactions and subject to vesting and the respective participation threshold for Class B Units. Class B Units do not expire. There were 0no Class B Units issued during the three months ended March 31, 20212022 or 2020.2021. As of March 31, 2021,2022, outstanding Class B Units had participation thresholds between $0.00 to $12.00. The Company incurred less than $1 million of equity-based compensation related to the Class B Units during each of the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020.

NOTE 1314 NET LOSS PER SHARE

Basic and diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss attributable to Class A common stockholders by the weighted-average shares of Class A common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per share is computed by giving effect to all potentially dilutive shares. For all periods presented, potentially dilutive shares are excluded from diluted net loss per share because they have an anti-dilutive impact. Therefore, basic and diluted net loss per share attributable to Class A
common stockholders are the same for all periods presented. Net loss for all periods presented is attributable only to Class A
common stockholders, due to no activity related to convertible preferred stock during those periods.

NOTE 1415 — INCOME TAXES

As described in Note 1 — Business Organization and Note 1011 — Stockholders' Equity, as a result of the IPO, Carvana Co. began consolidating the financial results of Carvana Group. Carvana Group is treated as a partnership for U.S. federal and most

applicable state and local income tax purposes. As a partnership, Carvana Group is not subject to U.S. federal and certain state and local income taxes. Any taxable income or loss generated by Carvana Group is passed through to and included in the taxable income or loss of its members, including Carvana Co., based on its economic interest held in Carvana Group. Carvana Co. was formed on November 29, 2016 and did not engage in any operations prior to the IPO. Carvana Co. is taxed as a corporation and is subject to U.S. federal, state, and local income taxes with respect to its allocable share of any taxable income or loss of Carvana Group, as well as any stand-alone income or loss generated by Carvana Co.

As described in Note 1011 — Stockholders' Equity, the Company acquired approximately 4less than 1 million and less than 14 million LLC Units during the three months ended March 31, 20212022 and 2020,2021, respectively, in connection with exchanges with LLC Unitholders.

CARVANA CO. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)
(Unaudited)
During the three months ended March 31, 20212022 and 2020,2021, the Company recorded a gross deferred tax asset of approximately $225$1 million and $2$225 million, respectively, associated with the basis difference in its investment in Carvana Group related to the acquisition of these LLC Units which is reflected as an increase to additional paid-in capital in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statementstatements of stockholders' equity.

As described in Note 45 — Goodwill and Intangible Assets, Net, the Company acquired various intangible assets in connection with the acquisition of Car360 in 2018. As a result, the Company recognized a deferred tax liability of approximately $2 million which is reflected within other liabilities in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. The deferred tax liability will be amortized over five to seven years and less than $1 million was amortized during each of the three months ended March 31, 20212022 and 2020.2021.

During the three months ended March 31, 2021,2022, management performed an assessment of the recoverability of deferred tax assets. Management determined, based on the accounting standards applicable to such assessment, that there was sufficient negative evidence as a result of the Company’s cumulative losses to conclude it was more likely than not that its deferred tax assets would not be realized and has recorded a full valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets. In the event that management was to determine that the Company would be able to realize its deferred tax assets in the future in excess of their net recorded amount, an adjustment to the valuation allowance would be made which would reduce the provision for income taxes.

The Company recognizes uncertain income tax positions when it is more-likely-than-not the position will be sustained upon examination. As of March 31, 20212022 and December 31, 2020,2021, the Company has 0tnot identified any uncertain tax positions and has 0tnot recognized any related reserves.

The Company's effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 was an expense of 0.1% and 2020 was a benefit of 0.1% and 0.0%, respectively, related to Car360.its wholly-owned subsidiaries.

Tax Receivable Agreement

Carvana Co. expects to obtain an increase in its share of the tax basis in the net assets of Carvana Group when LLC Units are exchanged by the LLC Unitholders and other qualifying transactions. As described in Note 1011 — Stockholders' Equity, each change in outstanding shares of Class A common stock results in a corresponding increase or decrease in Carvana Co.'s ownership of LLC Units. The Company intends to treat any exchanges of LLC Units as direct purchases of LLC interests for U.S. federal income tax purposes. These increases in tax basis may reduce the amounts that Carvana Co. would otherwise pay in the future to various taxing authorities. They may also decrease gains (or increase losses) on future dispositions of certain capital assets to the extent tax basis is allocated to those capital assets.

In connection with the IPO, the Company entered into a Tax Receivable Agreement ("TRA"). Under the TRA, the Company generally will be required to pay to the Original LLC Unitholders 85% of the amount of cash savings, if any, in U.S. federal, state or local tax that the Company actually realizes directly or indirectly (or are deemed to realize in certain circumstances) as a result of (i) certain tax attributes created as a result of any sales or exchanges (as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes) to or with the Company of their interests in Carvana Group for shares of Carvana Co.'s Class A common stock or cash, including any basis adjustment relating to the assets of Carvana Group and (ii) tax benefits attributable to payments made under the TRA (including imputed interest). The Company expects to benefit from the remaining 15% of any tax benefits that it may actually realize. To the extent that the Company is unable to timely make payments under the TRA for any reason, such payments generally will be deferred and will accrue interest until paid.

22


CARVANA CO. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)
(Unaudited)
If the Internal Revenue Service or a state or local taxing authority challenges the tax basis adjustments that give rise to payments under the TRA and the tax basis adjustments are subsequently disallowed, the recipients of payments under the agreement will not reimburse the Company for any payments the Company previously made to them. Any such disallowance would be taken into account in determining future payments under the TRA and would, therefore, reduce the amount of any such future payments. Nevertheless, if the claimed tax benefits from the tax basis adjustments are disallowed, the Company’s payments under the TRA could exceed its actual tax savings, and the Company may not be able to recoup payments under the TRA that were calculated on the assumption that the disallowed tax savings were available.

The TRA provides that if (i) certain mergers, asset sales, other forms of business combinations, or other changes of control were to occur, (ii) there is a material breach of any material obligations under the TRA; or (iii) the Company elects an early

termination of the TRA, then the TRA will terminate and the Company's obligations, or the Company's successor’s obligations, under the TRA will accelerate and become due and payable, based on certain assumptions, including an assumption that the Company would have sufficient taxable income to fully utilize all potential future tax benefits that are subject to the TRA and that any LLC Units that have not been exchanged are deemed exchanged for the fair market value of the Company's Class A common stock at the time of termination.
As of March 31, 2021,2022, the Company has concluded based on applicable accounting standards, that it was more likely than not that its deferred tax assets subject to the TRA would not be realized; therefore, the Company has not recorded a liability related to the tax savings it may realize from utilization of such deferred tax assets. As of March 31, 2021,2022, the total unrecorded TRA liability is approximately $857 million.$1.6 billion. If utilization of the deferred tax assets subject to the TRA becomes more likely than not in the future, the Company will record a liability related to the TRA which will be recognized as expense within its consolidated statements of operations.

NOTE 1516 — LEASES

Legal Matters

From time to time, the Company is involved in various claims and legal actions that arise in the ordinary course of business. Although the results of litigation and claims cannot be predicted with certainty, the Company does not believe that the ultimate resolution of these actions will have a material adverse effect on its financial position, results of operations, liquidity and capital resources.

Future litigation may be necessary to defend the Company and its partners by determining the scope, enforceability and validity of third party proprietary rights or to establish its proprietary rights. The results of any current or future litigation cannot be predicted with certainty, and regardless of the outcome, litigation can have an adverse impact on the Company because of defense and settlement costs, diversion of management resources and other factors.

NOTE 1718 — FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Company holds certain assets that are required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis, and beneficial interests in securitizations for which it elected the fair value option. A description of the fair value hierarchy and the Company's methodologies are included in Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.Policies in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K.

As of March 31, 20212022 and December 31, 2020,2021, the Company has purchase price adjustment receivables of approximately $22$37 million and $14$34 million, respectively, which are carried at fair value and classified as other assets in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. Under the MPSA, the purchaser will make future cash payments to the Company based on the performance of the finance receivables sold. The fair value of the purchase price adjustment receivables are determined based on the extent to which the Company’s estimated performance of the underlying finance receivables exceeds a mutually agreed upon performance threshold of the underlying finance receivables as of measurement dates specified in the MPSA. The Company develops its estimate of future cumulative losses based on the historical performance of finance receivables it originated with similar characteristics as well as general macro-economic trends. The Company then utilizes a discounted cash flow model to calculate the present value of the expected future payment amounts. Due to the lack of observable market data these receivables are classified as Level 3. TheDuring the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, the adjustments to the fair value of the purchase price

value of the purchase price adjustment receivables were a gain of approximately $8$3 million and a loss of approximately $5$4 million, during the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and are reflected in other expense (income) expense,, net in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Beneficial Interests in Securitizations

Beneficial interests in securitizations include notes and certificates of the securitization trusts, the same securities as issued to other investors as described in Note 89 — Securitizations and Variable Interest Entities. Beneficial interests in securitizations are initially treated as Level 2 assets typically include beneficial interestswhen the securitization transaction occurs in securitization transactions that closed near the end of the period due to theclose proximity to the end of the period and there is a lack of observable changes in the economic inputs. GivenWhen the securitization transaction does not occur in close proximity to the end of the period and there have been observable changes in the market and overall economic inputs, between pricing and closing of the March 2020 securitization transaction, it was initiallybeneficial interests in securitizations are classified as Level 3. As the March 2021 and December 2020 securitization transactions occurred in the middle of the month, allowing observable changes in economic inputs to occur before period end, the March 2021 and December 2020 transactions were classified as Level 3 as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.

The Company's beneficial interests in securitizations include rated notes and certificates and other assets, all of which are classified as Level 3 due to the lack of observable market data. The Company determines the fair value of its rated notes based on non-binding broker quotes. The non-binding broker quotes are based on models that consider the prevailing interest rates, recent market transactions, and current business conditions. The Company determines the fair value of its certificates and other assets using a combination of non-binding market quotes and internally developed discounted cash flow models. The discounted cash flow models use discount rates based on prevailing interest rates and the characteristics of the specific instruments. As of both March 31, 20212022 and December 31, 2020,2021, the discount rates were 1.4%3.1% to 10.0%. and 1.1% to 10.0%, respectively. Significant increases or decreases in the inputs to the models could result in a significantly higher or lower fair value measurement. The Company elected the fair value option on its beneficial interests in securitizations, which allows it to recognize changes in the fair value of these assets in the period the fair value changes. Changes in the fair value of the beneficial interests in securitizations are reflected in other expense (income) expense,, net in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.

For beneficial interests in securitizations measured at fair value on a recurring basis, the Company's transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy are deemed to have occurred at the beginning of the reporting period on a quarterly basis. During the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company transferred beneficial interests acquired as part of the December 2019 securitization transaction initially classified as Level 2 from Level 2 to Level 3. The assets were initially classified as Level 2 due to the transactions' proximity to the end of each respective reporting period and the lack of observable changes in economic inputs. As noted above, the Company uses significant unobservable inputs to measure the fair value of these assets on a recurring basis, thus they will be classified as Level 3 in future periods. There were no transfers into or out of Level 3 during the three months ended March 31, 2022 or 2021.

In December 2021, or 2020.the Company began selling certain of its beneficial interests in securitizations that meet the criteria for sale set forth in the Risk Retention Rules. For the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company sold beneficial interests in securitizations for a purchase price totaling approximately $1 million.

Derivative InstrumentsInvestment in Equity Securities

AsDuring October 2021, the Company purchased Series A convertible preferred shares in Root, Inc. ("Root"), an equity security that does not have a readily determinable fair value. The Company elected to measure this investment using a measurement alternative pursuant to the accounting standards and recorded the investment at its cost of approximately $126 million which will subsequently be adjusted for observable price changes. The Company considered all relevant transactions since the date of our investment and has not recorded any impairments or upward or downward adjustments to the carrying amount of our investment in Root, as there have not been changes in the observable price of our equity interest through March 31, 2022.

Also in October 2021, and December 31, 2020, the Company had no outstandingentered into a commercial agreement with Root, under which the Root auto insurance products will be embedded into the Company's e-commerce platform. In accordance with the provisions of the commercial agreement, the Company received 8 tranches of warrants to purchase shares of Root's Class A common stock (the "warrants"). One tranche consisting of 42 million warrants vests either upon the earlier of product integration or 18 months, and is considered a derivative instruments.instrument. The other tranches vest based on insurance product sales through the Company's e-commerce platform, which are expected to begin during 2022. The Company used a Monte Carlo simulation to estimate the fair value of these warrants, which are classified as Level 3. At contract inception the Company recognized an asset of approximately $30 million for the warrants and deferred revenue, classified in other assets and other liabilities, respectively in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

NOTE 1920 — SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Short-Term Revolving FacilityOn April 26, 2022, the Company completed its previously announced public offering of 15,625,000 shares of its Class A common stock for total net proceeds of $1.2 billion, after deducting underwriting discounts and offering expenses. The Garcia Parties purchased an aggregate of 5,400,000 shares of the Class A common stock offered at the public offering price.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

Unless the context requires otherwise, references in this report to "Carvana," the "Company," "we," "us," and "our" refer to Carvana Co. and its consolidated subsidiaries. The following Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations ("MD&A") is provided as a supplement to, and should be read in conjunction with, our audited consolidated financial statements, the accompanying notes and the MD&A included in our most recent Annual Report filed on Form 10-K, as well as our consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes included in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q.

Overview

Carvana is the leading e-commerce platform for buying and selling used cars. We are transforming the used car buying and selling experience by giving consumers what they want - a wide selection, great value and quality, transparent pricing, and a simple, no pressure transaction. Each element of our business, from inventory procurement to fulfillment and overall ease of the online transaction, has been built for this singular purpose.

Our business combines a comprehensive online sales experience with a vertically integrated supply chain that allows us to sell high-quality vehicles to our customers transparently and efficiently at a low price. Using our website, customers can complete all phases of a used vehicle purchase transaction. Specifically, our online sales experience allows customers to:

Purchase a used vehicle.    As of March 31, 2021,2022, we listed approximately 32,80089,000 total units on our website, where customers can select and purchase a vehicle, including arranging financing and signing contracts, directly from their desktop or mobile device. Selling used vehicles to retail customers is the primary driver of our business. Selling used vehicles generates revenue equal to the selling price of the vehicle, less an allowance for returns, and also enables multiple additional revenue streams, including vehicle service contracts ("VSCs"), GAP waiver coverage, and trade-ins.

Finance their purchase.    Customers can pay for their Carvana vehicle using cash, financing from other parties such as banks or credit unions, or financing with us using our proprietary loan origination platform. Customers who choose to apply for our in-house financing fill out a short prequalification form, select from a range of financing terms we provide and, if approved, apply the financing to their purchase in our online checkout process. We generally seek to sell the loans we originate to financing partners or pursuant to a securitization transaction and, in each case, we generally earn a premium upon sale.

Protect their purchase.    Customers have the option to protect their vehicle with a VSC as part of our online checkout process. VSCs provide customers with insurance against certain mechanical repairs after the expiration of their vehicle’s original manufacturer warranty. We earn a fee for selling VSCs on behalf of DriveTime, who is the obligor under these VSCs. We generally have no contractual liability to customers for claims under these agreements. We also offer GAP waiver coverage to customers in most states in which we operate.

Sell us their car.    We allow our customers to trade-in a vehicle and apply the trade-in value to their purchase, or to sell us a vehicle independent of a purchase. Using our digital appraisal tool, customers can receive a firm offer for their vehicle nearly instantaneously from our site simply by answering a few questions about the vehicle condition and features. We generate trade-in offers using a proprietary valuation algorithm supported by extensive used vehicle market and customer-behavior data. When customers accept our offer, they can schedule a time to have the vehicle picked up at their home and receive payment, eliminating the need to visit a dealership or negotiate a private sale. We take their vehicles into inventory and sell them either at auction as a wholesale sale or through our website as a retail sale. Vehicles sold at auction typically do not meet the quality or condition standards required to be included in retail inventory displayed for sale on our website.

To enable a seamless customer experience, we have built a vertically-integrated used vehicle supply chain, supported by proprietary software systems and data.

Vehicle acquisition.    We primarily acquire our used vehicle inventory directly from customers when they trade in or sell us their vehicles and through the large and liquid national used-car auction market. Acquiring directly from customers eliminates auction fees and provides more diverse vehicles. The remainder of our inventory is acquired from vehicle finance and leasing companies, rental car companies, and other suppliers. We use proprietary algorithms to
32


determine which cars to bid on at auction and how much to bid. Our software sifts through over 100,000 vehicles per
30


day and filters out vehicles with reported accidents, poor condition ratings, or other unacceptable attributes, and can evaluate the tens of thousands of potential vehicle purchases that remain per day, creating a competitive advantage versus in-person sourcing methods generally used by traditional dealerships. Once our algorithms have identified a suitable vehicle for purchase, bids are verified and executed by a centralized team of inventory-sourcing professionals. For vehicles sold to us through our website, we use proprietary algorithms to determine an appropriate offer. We assess vehicles on the basis of quality, inventory fit, consumer desirability, relative value, expected reconditioning costs, and vehicle location to identify what we believe represent the most in-demand and profitable vehicles to acquire for inventory. We utilize a broad range of data sources, including proprietary site data, and a variety of external data sources to support our assessments.

Inspection and reconditioning.    Once we acquire a vehicle, we leverage our in-house logistics or a vendor to transport the vehicle to an inspection and reconditioning center ("IRC"), at which point the vehicle is entered into our inventory management system. We then begin a 150-point inspection process covering controls, features, brakes, tires, and cosmetics. Each IRC includes trained technicians, vehicle lifts, paint-less dent repair, and paint capabilities and receives on-site support from vendors with whom we have integrated systems to ensure ready access to parts and materials. When an inspection is complete, we estimate the necessary reconditioning cost for the vehicle to be deemed "Carvana Certified" and expected timing for that vehicle to be made available for sale on our website.

Photography and merchandising.    To provide transparency to our customers, our patented, automated photo booths capture a 360-degree exterior and interior virtual tour of each vehicle in our website inventory. Our photo booths photograph the interior and exterior of the vehicle while technicians annotate material defects based on visibility-threshold category. We also feature integrations with various vehicle data providers for vehicle feature and option information. We have instituted a unified cosmetic standard across all IRCs to better ensure a consistent customer experience.

Transportation and fulfillment.    Third-party vehicle transportation is often slow, expensive, and unreliable. To address these challenges, we built an in-house auto logistics network backed by a proprietary transportation management system ("TMS") to transport our vehicles nationwide. The system is based on a "hub and spoke" model, which connects all IRCs to vending machines and hubs via our owned and leased fleet of multi-car and single car haulers. Our TMS allows us to efficiently manage locations, routes, route capacities, trucks, and drivers while also dynamically optimizing for speed and cost. We store inventory primarily at the IRCs, and when a vehicle is sold, it is delivered directly to the customer or transported to a vending machine or certain hubs for pick-up by the customer. Due to our robust and proprietary logistics infrastructure, we are able to offer our customers and operations team highly accurate predictions of vehicle availability, minimizing unanticipated delays and ensuring a seamless and reliable customer experience.

COVID-19 Update

In March 2020, the World Health Organization declaredWe have experienced and may continue to experience ongoing effects from the novel coronavirus outbreak ("COVID-19") to be a global pandemic, and a number of state and local government authorities issued shelter in place and stay at home orders whichincluding the Omicron variant, such as production or other operational constraints that may negatively impactedimpact our operations and the demand for used vehicles during the first half of 2020. During the second half of 2020 and through the first quarter of 2021,costs. However, we have seen a recovery in general market conditions as demand for used vehicles has increased across our network, resulting in a 76.4% increase in used vehicles sales during the first quarter of 2021 compared to the first quarter of 2020. We believe we have been relatively successful in navigating the impact of COVID-19 on our business to date and believe our business model makespositions us well-positionedwell to scale up and down to meet expected customer demand during and after the current COVID-19 pandemic. We will continue to evaluate the nature and extent of the impact to our business and our results of operations and financial condition as conditions evolve as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Used Vehicle Unit Sales

Since launching to customers in Atlanta, Georgia in January 2013, we have experienced rapid growth in sales through our website www.carvana.com. During the three months ended March 31, 2021,2022, the number of vehicles we sold to retail customers
3133


grew by 76.4%13.8% to 92,457105,185 compared to 52,42792,457 in the three months ended March 31, 2020.2021. We expect our used vehicle sales to grow in future periods with increased penetration in our current markets and expansion into new ones.markets.

We view the number of vehicles we sell to retail customers as the most important measure of our growth, and we expect to continue to focus on building a scalable platform to increase our retail units sold. This focus on retail units sold is motivated by several factors:

Retail units sold enable multiple revenue streams, including the sale of the vehicle itself, the sale of automotive finance receivables originated to finance the vehicle, the sale of VSCs, the sale of GAP waiver coverage, and the sale of vehicles acquired from customers.

Retail units sold are the primary driver of customer referrals and repeat sales. Each time we sell a vehicle to a new customer, that customer may refer future customers and can become a repeat buyer in the future.

Retail units sold are an important driver of the average number of days between when we acquire the vehicle and when we sell it. Reducing average days to sale impacts gross profit on our vehicles because used vehicles depreciate over time.

Retail units sold allow us to benefit from economies of scale due to our centralized online sales model. We believe our model provides meaningful operating leverage in acquisition, reconditioning, transport, customer service, and delivery.

We plan to invest in technology and infrastructure to support growth in retail units sold. This includes continued investment in our vehicle acquisition, reconditioning and logistics network, as well as continued investment in product development and engineering to deliver customers a best-in-class experience.

Markets and Population Coverage

Our growth in retail units sold is driven by increased penetration in our existing markets and expansion into new markets. We define a market as a metropolitan area in which we have commenced local advertising and offer free home delivery to customers with a Carvana employee in a branded delivery truck. We define our population coverage as the percentage of U.S. population that lives within those markets. Opening a new market involves hiring a team of customer advocates, connecting the market to our existing logistics network and initiating local advertising. As a market scales, we may elect to build a vending machine in the market to further increase customer awareness and enhance our fulfillment operations.

Our expansion model has enabled us to increase our rate of market openings, resulting in serving more of the U.S. population, in each of the past eight years. Our market openings since March 31, 2020 increased the total percentage of the U.S. population served to 81.0% in 313 markets as of March 31, 2022 from 74.5% in 272 markets as of March 31, 2021 from 68.7% in 161 markets as of March 31, 2020.2021. Over time, we have continually improved our market expansion playbook, which we believe provides us with the capability to efficiently execute our growth plan. We continually evaluate consumer demand and our operational capacity to determine our market opening and vending machine launch strategy.

When we open a market, we commence advertising using a blend of brand and direct advertising channels. Our advertising spend in each market is approximately proportionate to each market’s population, subject to adjustments based on specific characteristics of the market, used vehicle market seasonality, and special events such as vending machine openings. This historically has led to increased market penetration over time following the market opening. We also advertise on national television to increase brand awareness. 

Revenue and Gross Profit

Our increased penetration in existing markets and expansion into new markets has led to growth in retail unit sales. We generate revenue on retail units sold from four primary sources: the sale of the vehicles, wholesale sales of vehicles we acquire from customers, gains on the sales of loans originated to finance the vehicles, wholesale sales of vehicles we acquire from customers, and sales of ancillary products such as VSCs and GAP waiver coverage.

Our largest source of revenue, used vehicle sales, totaled $1.8$2.7 billion and $964 million$1.8 billion during the three months ended March 31, 20212022 and 2020,2021, respectively. As we increase penetration in existing markets and expand to new ones, we expect used vehicle sales to increase along with retail units sold. We generate gross profit on used vehicle sales from the difference between the retail selling price of the vehicle and our cost of sales associated with acquiring the vehicle and preparing it for sale.

Wholesale sales, which includes sales of trade-ins and other vehicles acquired from customers that do not meet the requirements for our retail inventory, totaled $240$575 million and $80$240 million during the three months ended March 31, 20212022 and 2020,2021, respectively. We expect wholesale sales to increase with retail units sold through trade-ins and as we expand our program of acquiring vehicles from customers who wish to sell us a car independent of a retail sale. We generate gross profit on wholesale vehicle sales from the difference between the wholesale selling price of the vehicle and our cost of sales associated with acquiring the vehicle and preparing it for sale.

Other sales and revenues, which primarily includes gains on the sales of automotive finance receivables we originate, sales commission on VSCs and sales of GAP waiver coverage totaled $205$190 million and $54$205 million during the three months ended March 31, 20212022 and 2020,2021, respectively. We expect other sales and revenues to increase with retail units sold. We also expect other sales and revenues to increase as we improve our ability to monetize loans we originate, including through securitization transactions, and sell and offer attractive financing solutions and ancillary products to our customers, including products customarily sold by automotive retailers or insurance products customarily sold by traditional insurance companies. Other sales and revenues are 100% gross margin products for which gross profit equals revenue.

During our growth phase, our highest priority outside of safety will continue to be providing exceptional customer experiences, increasing our brand awareness and building an infrastructure to support growth in retail units sold. Secondarily, we plan to pursue several strategies designed to increase our total gross profit per unit. These strategies include the following:

Increase the purchase of vehicles from customers. We plan to grow the number of vehicles that we purchase from our customers either as trade-ins or independent of a retail sale. This in turn will grow our wholesale business, provide additional vehicles for our retail business, which are more profitable compared to the same vehicle acquired at auction, and expand our inventory selection.

Reduce average days to sale. Our goal is generally to increase both our number of markets and our sales at a faster rate than we increase our inventory size, which we believe would decrease average days to sale due to a relative increase in demand versus supply. Reductions in average days to sale lead to fewer vehicle price reductions, and therefore higher average selling prices, all other factors being equal. Higher average selling prices in turn lead to higher gross profit per unit sold, all other factors being equal.

Leverage existing IRC infrastructure. As we scale, we intend to more fully utilize the capacity in our 1217 existing IRCs, which collectively have capacity to inspect and recondition approximately 680,0001 million vehicles per year at full utilization.

Increase utilization of our logistics network. As we scale, we intend to more fully utilize our in-house logistics network to transport cars to our IRCs after acquisition from customers or wholesale auctions.

Increase conversion on existing products. We plan to continue to improve our website to highlight the benefits of our complementary product offerings, including financing, VSCs, GAP waiver coverage, and trade-ins.

Add new products and services. We plan to utilize our online sales platform to offer additional complementary products and services to our customers.

Increase monetization of our finance receivables. We plan to continue selling finance receivables in securitization transactions and otherwise expand our base of financial partners who purchase the finance receivables originated on our platform to reduce our effective cost of funds.

Optimize purchasing and pricing. We are constantly improving the ways in which we predict customer demand, value vehicles sight unseen and optimize what we pay to acquire those vehicles. We also regularly test different pricing of our products, including vehicle sticker prices, trade-in and independent vehicle offers, and ancillary product prices, and we believe we can improve by further optimizing prices over time.

Seasonality

Used vehicle sales generally exhibit seasonality with sales peaking late in the first calendar quarter and diminishing through the rest of the year, with the lowest relative level of vehicle sales expected to occur in the fourth calendar quarter. Due to our rapid growth, our overall sales patterns to date have not reflected the general seasonality of the used vehicle industry, but we expect
3335


we expect this to change once our business and markets mature. Used vehicle prices also exhibit seasonality, with used vehicles depreciating at a faster rate in the last two quarters of each year and a slower rate in the first two quarters of each year, all other factors being equal. We expect to experience seasonal and other fluctuations in our quarterly operating results, including as a result of COVID-19, which may not fully reflect the underlying performance of our business.

Investment in Growth

We have aggressively invested in the growth of our business and we expect this investment to continue during normal conditions. We anticipate that our operating expenses will increase substantially as we continue to expand our logistics network, increase our advertising spending, and serve more of the U.S. population. There is no guarantee that we will be able to realize the desired return on our investments.

Relationship with Related Parties

For discussion about our relationship with related parties, refer to Note 67 — Related Party Transactions of our accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1, Financial Statements of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Key Operating Metrics

We regularly review a number of metrics, including the following key metrics, to evaluate our business, measure our progress and make strategic decisions. Our key operating metrics reflect the key drivers of our growth, including increasing brand awareness, enhancing the selection of vehicles we make available to our customers, and serving more of the U.S. population. Our key operating metrics also demonstrate our ability to translate these drivers into retail sales and to monetize these retail sales through a variety of product offerings.

Retail Units Sold

We define retail units sold as the number of vehicles sold to customers in a given period, net of returns under our seven-day return policy. We view retail units sold as a key measure of our growth for several reasons. First, retail units sold is the primary driver of our revenues and, indirectly, gross profit, since retail unit sales enable multiple complementary revenue streams, including financing, VSCs, GAP waiver coverage, and trade-ins. Second, growth in retail units sold increases the base of available customers for referrals and repeat sales. Third, growth in retail units sold is an indicator of our ability to successfully scale our logistics, fulfillment, and customer service operations.

Population Coverage

We have previously reported number of markets as a key operating metric. As we have continued to grow, the population covered by these markets is increasingly a more important driver of our growth than the number of markets we serve. We define a market as a metropolitan area in which we have commenced local advertising and offer free home delivery to customers, which is typically conducted by a Carvana employee in a branded delivery truck. We define population coverage as the metropolitan statistical area population in the markets we serve at the end of the period divided by the total population in the U.S., based on 2015 data from the U.S. Census Bureau. We view the growth in population we serve as a key driver of our growth. As we increase our population coverage, the number of consumers who have access to our fully integrated customer experience increases, which in turn helps increase the number of vehicles we sell.

3436


Average Monthly Unique Visitors

We define a monthly unique visitor as an individual who has visited our website within a calendar month, based on data provided by Google Analytics. We calculate average monthly unique visitors as the sum of monthly unique visitors in a given period, divided by the number of months in that period. We view average monthly unique visitors as a key indicator of the strength of our brand, the effectiveness of our advertising and merchandising campaigns, and consumer awareness of our brand.

Number of IRCs

Number of IRCs is a new key operating metric. As we continue to grow, our number of IRCs is a more important metric than average days to sale due to the impact of IRC capacity on retail units sold and the relative stability of average days to sale over the past three years. We define the number of IRCs as the number of owned or leased IRCs in which Carvana employees perform our 150-point inspection and recondition vehicles to “Carvana Certified” standards before sale to customers. As we scale, we intend to more fully utilize the capacity in our existing 1217 IRCs, which, as of March 31, 2021,2022, collectively have capacity to inspect and recondition approximately 680,0001 million vehicles per year at full utilization. As we increase our number of IRCs, we increase this capacity to inspect and recondition vehicles, which in turn increases the number of vehicles we can sell.

Total Website Units

We define total website units as the number of vehicles listed on our website on the last day of a given reporting period, including vehicles available inventory for sale, vehicles currently engaged in a purchase or reserved by a customer, and unitsvehicles that can be reserved that generally have not yet completed the inspection and reconditioning process. We view total website units as a key measure of our growth. Growth in total website units increases the selection of vehicles available to consumers in all of our markets simultaneously,consumers, which we believe will allow us to increase the number of vehicles we sell. Moreover, growth in total website units indicates our ability to scale our vehicle purchasing, inspection and reconditioning operations. As part of our inventory strategy, over time we may choose not to expand total website units while continuing to grow sales, thereby improving other key operating metrics of the business.

Total Gross Profit per Unit

We define total gross profit per unit as the aggregate gross profit in a given period, divided by retail units sold in that period including gross profit generated from the sale of the used vehicle, gains on the sales of loans originated to finance the vehicle, commissions on sales of VSCs, revenue from GAP waiver coverage, and gross profit generated from wholesale sales of vehicles.


Components of Results of Operations

Used Vehicle Sales

Used vehicle sales represent the aggregate sales of used vehicles to customers through our website. Revenue from used vehicles sales is recognized upon delivery to the customer or pick up of the vehicle by the customer, and is reported net of a reserve for expected returns. Factors affecting used vehicle sales revenue include the number of retail units sold and the average selling price of these vehicles. Changes in retail units sold are a much larger driver of changes in revenue than are changes in average selling price.

The number of used vehicles we sell depends on the volume of traffic to our website, our population coverage, our inventory selection, the effectiveness of our branding and marketing efforts, the quality of our customer's purchase experience, our volume of referrals and repeat customers, the competitiveness of our pricing, competition from other used car dealerships and general economic conditions. OnAbsent the impact of COVID-19, on a quarterly basis, the number of used vehicles we sell is also affected by seasonality, with demand for used vehicles reaching a seasonal high point late in the first quarter of each year, commensurate with the timing of tax refunds, and diminishing through the rest of the year, with the lowest relative level of used vehicle sales expected to occur in the fourth calendar quarter. The impact of COVID-19 and related stimulus payments and labor impacts on seasonality is uncertain.

Our retail average selling price depends on the mix of vehicles we acquire, retail prices in our markets, our pricing strategy, and our average days to sale. We may choose to shift our inventory mix to higher or lower cost vehicles, or to raise or lower our prices relative to market to take advantage of supply or demand imbalances, which could temporarily lead to average selling
37


prices increasing or decreasing. We also generally expect lower average days to sale to be associated with higher retail average selling prices due to decreased vehicle depreciation prior to sale, all other factors being equal.
35



Wholesale Vehicle Sales

Wholesale vehicle sales is equal to the aggregate proceeds we receive on vehicles sold to wholesalers. The vehicles we sell to wholesalers are primarily acquired from customers who sell a vehicle to us without purchasing a retail vehicle and from our customers who trade-in their existing vehicles when making a purchase from us. Factors affecting wholesale vehicle sales include the number of wholesale units sold and the average wholesale selling price of these vehicles. The average selling price of our wholesale units is primarily driven by the mix of vehicles we sell to wholesalers, as well as general supply and demand conditions in the applicable wholesale vehicle market.market, both of which have been impacted by COVID-19. Beginning in 2020, wholesale vehicle sales includes aggregate proceeds we receive on vehicles sold to DriveTime through competitive online auctions that are managed by an unrelated third party.

Other Sales and Revenues

We generate other sales and revenues primarily through the sales of loans we originate and sell in securitization transactions or to financing partners, reported net of a reserve for expected repurchases, interest earned on loans prior to sale, and commissions we receive on VSCs and sales of GAP waiver coverage. In 2016, we entered into a master dealer agreement with DriveTime, pursuant to which we receive a commission for selling VSCs that DriveTime administers. The commission revenue we recognize on VSCs depends on the number of retail units we sell, the conversion rate of VSCs on these sales, commission rates we receive, VSC early cancellation frequency and product features. The GAP waiver coverage revenue we recognize depends on the number of retail units we sell, the number of customers that choose to finance their purchases with us, the frequency of GAP waiver coverage early cancellation, and the conversion rate of GAP waiver coverage on those sales.

We generally seek to sell the loans we originate to securitization trusts we sponsor and establish or to financing partners. The securitization trusts issue asset-backed securities, some of which are collateralized by the finance receivables that we sell to the securitization trusts. We also sell the loans we originate under committed forward-flow arrangements, including a master purchase and sale agreement, and through fixed pool loan sales, with financing partners who generally acquire them at premium prices without recourse to us for their post-sale performance. Factors affecting revenue from these sales include the number of loans we originate, the average principal balance of the loans, the credit quality of the portfolio, and the price at which we are able to sell them in securitization transactions or to financing partners.

The number of loans we originate is driven by the number of used vehicles sold and the percentage of our sales for which we provide financing, which is influenced by the financing terms we offer our customers relative to alternatives available to the customer. The average principal balance is driven primarily by the mix of vehicles we sell, since higher average selling prices typically mean higher average balances. The price at which we sell the loan is driven by the terms of our securitization transactions and forward-flow arrangement, applicable interest rates, and whether or not the loan includes GAP waiver coverage.

Cost of Sales

Cost of sales includes the cost to acquire, recondition, and transport vehicles associated with preparing them for resale. Vehicle acquisition costs are driven by the mix of vehicles we acquire, the source of those vehicles, and supply-and-demand dynamics in the wholesale vehicle market. Reconditioning costs consist of direct costs, including parts, labor, and third-party repair expenses directly attributable to specific vehicles, as well as indirect costs, such as IRC overhead. Transportation costs consist of costs incurred to transport the vehicles from the point of acquisition to the IRC. Cost of sales also includes any necessary adjustments to reflect vehicle inventory at the lower of cost or net realizable value.

Used Vehicle Gross Profit

Used vehicle gross profit is the vehicle sales price minus our costs of sales associated with vehicles that we list and sell on our website. Used vehicle gross profit per unit is our aggregate used vehicle gross profit in any measurement period divided by the number of retail units sold in that period.

38


Wholesale Vehicle Gross Profit

Wholesale vehicle gross profit is the vehicle sales price minus our cost of sales associated with vehicles we sell to wholesalers. Factors affecting wholesale gross profit include the number of wholesale units sold, the average wholesale selling price of these vehicles, and the average acquisition price associated with these vehicles.

36


Other Gross Profit

Other sales and revenues consist of 100% gross margin products for which gross profit equals revenue. Therefore, changes in gross profit and the associated drivers are identical to changes in revenues from these products and the associated drivers.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses include expenses associated with advertising and providing customer service to customers, operating our vending machines and hubs, operating our logistics and fulfillment network and other corporate overhead expenses, including expenses associated with information technology, product development, engineering, legal, accounting, finance, and business development. We anticipate that these expenses will increase as we grow. SG&A expenses exclude the costs of inspecting and reconditioning vehicles and transporting vehicles from the point of acquisition to the IRC, which are included in cost of sales, and payroll costs for our employees related to the development of software products for internal use, which are capitalized to software and depreciated over the estimated useful lives of the related assets.

Interest Expense

Interest expense includes interest incurred on our Senior Notes, our Floor Plan Facility, and our Finance Receivable Facilities (each as defined in Note 910 — Debt Instruments of our financial statements included in Part I, Item 1, Financial Statements of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q), as well as our notes payable, and finance leases, and long-term debt, which are used to fund general working capital, our inventory, our transportation fleet, and certain of our property and equipment. Interest expense excludes the interest incurred during various construction projects to build, upgrade or remodel certain facilities, which is capitalized to property and equipment and depreciated over the estimated useful lives of the related assets.

Other (Income) Expense Net(Income)

Other expense (income) expense,, net includes changes in fair value on our beneficial interests in securitizations, and purchase price adjustment receivables, (asand fair value adjustments related to our warrants to acquire Root Class A common stock as discussed in Note 1718 — Fair Value of Financial Instruments of our financial statements included in Part I, Item 1, Financial Statements of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q),10-Q, along with other general expenses such as gains or losses from disposals of long-lived assets.

Income Tax Provision

Income taxes are recognized based upon our anticipated underlying annual blended federal and state income tax rates adjusted, as necessary, for any discrete tax matters occurring during the period. As the sole managing member of Carvana Group, LLC (“Carvana Group”), Carvana Co. consolidates the financial results of Carvana Group. Carvana Group is treated as a partnership and therefore not subject to U.S. federal and most applicable state and local income tax purposes.

Used Vehicle Sales

Three months ended March 31, 20212022 Versus 2020.2021. Used vehicle sales increased by $836$932 million to $2.7 billion during the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to $1.8 billion during the three months ended March 31, 2021, compared to $964 million during the three months ended March 31, 2020.2021. The increase in revenue was primarily due to an increase in the average selling price of our retail units sold to $25,973 from $19,469 due primarily to the overall appreciation in the used vehicle market compared to the three months ended March 31, 2021. The number of used vehicles sold also increased to 92,457105,185 from 52,42792,457 during the three months ended March 31, 20212022 and 2020,2021, respectively. The increase in unit sales was driven by growth in existing markets due to continued marketing efforts, expanded inventory selection and increased brand awareness. The increase in unit sales was also driven by growth to 74.5%81.0% market population coverage as of March 31, 20212022 from 68.7%74.5% as of March 31, 2020. The average selling price of our retail units sold increased to $19,469 from $18,393 due primarily to the vehicle mix and increased demand for used vehicles.2021.

Other Sales and Revenues

Three months ended March 31, 20212022 Versus 2020.2021. Other sales and revenues increaseddecreased by $151$15 million to $190 million during the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to $205 million during the three months ended March 31, 2021, compared2021. This decrease was primarily due to $54 millionthe decrease in gain on loan sales driven by rapidly increasing benchmark interest rates, partially offset by the impact of the increase in retail units sold and the impact of higher industry-wide vehicle prices on average loan size during the three months ended March 31, 2020. This increase was primarily driven by originating and selling more finance receivables, along with better pricing on the sales of finance receivables during the three months ended March 31, 2021, due in part to the impact of COVID-19 on the securitization market in March 2020.2022. Additionally, the increasedecrease was due to an increase in retail units sold, which led tofurther offset by an increase in VSC sales and GAP waiver coverage sales.sales driven by the increase in retail units sold during the three months ended March 31, 2022.

Used Vehicle Gross Profit

Three months ended March 31, 20212022 Versus 2020.2021. Used vehicle gross profit increaseddecreased by $29$27 million to $85 million during the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to $112 million during the three months ended March 31, 2021, compared to $83 million during the three months ended March 31, 2020.2021. Increased retail units sold was partially offset by a decrease in used vehicle gross profit per unit to $808 for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to $1,211 for the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to $1,581 for the three months ended March 31, 2020.2021. The per unit decrease was primarily due todriven by higher transitoryreconditioning costs associated with rapidly ramping our IRC capacityresulting in part from the impact of the COVID-19 Omicron variant and severe weather events on production throughput and higher wholesale acquisition prices, partially offset by a higher ratio of customer-sourced vehicles sold during the three months ended March 31, 2021.2022.

Wholesale Vehicle Gross Profit

Three months ended March 31, 20212022 Versus 2020.2021.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $121$330 million to $727 million during the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to $397 million during the three months ended March 31, 2021, compared to $276 million during the three months ended March 31, 2020.2021. The increase was partially due to an increase in compensation and benefits by $42$110 million during the three months ended March 31, 20212022, which was primarily driven by expansion of our teams to support our growth.

In addition, during the three months ended March 31, 2022, the first tranche of the CEO Milestone Gift related to Mr. Garcia's contribution occurred resulting in $20 million of compensation expense within selling, general and administrative expense, which is presented separately above, compared to none in the three months ended March 31, 2021.

The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses was also due to an increase in advertising expense of $25$55 million during the three months ended March 31, 2021,2022, primarily due to an increase in advertising to drive growth in units sold and vehicles acquired from customers. Market occupancy, logistics, and other expenses also increased during the three months ended March 31, 20212022 compared to the respective prior year period primarily due to increases in the number of units sold and in population coverage, and in preparation for future growth. The increase is also due in part to efforts to decrease and balance discretionary spend as a result of the uncertain economic environment surrounding COVID-19 during the three months ended March 31, 2021.

Interest Expense

Interest expense increased slightly by $1$34 million to $64 million during the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to $30 million during the three months ended March 31, 2021. The increase is primarily due to increased interest incurred on additional senior unsecured notes issued by the Company in October 2020, March 2021, comparedand August 2021, along with increased interest expense incurred on sale leaseback financing since March 31, 2021.

Other Expense (Income), Net

Other expense (income), net changed by $20 million to $29expense of $13 million during the three months ended March 31, 2020. The increase is primarily due to the increase in long-term debt from the issuance of additional senior unsecured notes in October 2020, along with the additional sale leaseback financing in place during the three months ended March 31, 20212022 compared to March 31, 2020. The increases were offset by decreased interest expense incurred on our short-term revolving facilities in the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2020.

Other (Income) Expense, Net

Other expense, net changed by $24 million to income of $7 million during the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to expense of $17 million during the three months ended March 31, 2020.2021. The change in the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to March 31, 2020 is primarily due to fair value adjustments on our retained beneficial interests in securitizations and purchase price adjustment receivables as of March 31, 2021 compared to March 31, 2020 when the
42


capital markets were more uncertain, primarily due to COVID-19, and the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic.fair value adjustments on our warrants to acquire Root Class A common stock.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement the consolidated financial statements, which are prepared and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP, we also present the following non-GAAP measures: EBITDA, EBITDA margin, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin.Margin. We believe the presentation of both U.S. GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures provides investors with increased transparency into financial measures used by our
40


management team, and it also improves investors’ understanding of our underlying operating performance and their ability to analyze our ongoing operating trends. All historic non-GAAP financial measures have been reconciled with the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures.

EBITDA, EBITDA Margin, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin

EBITDA, EBITDA Margin, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin are supplemental measures of operating performance that do not represent and should not be considered an alternative to net loss or cash flow from operations, as determined by U.S. GAAP. EBITDA is defined as net loss before interest expense, income tax expense, and depreciation and amortization expense. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA plus other expense (income), net and other unusual items, as provided in the following table. EBITDA Margin is EBITDA as a percentage of total revenues. Adjusted EBITDA Margin is Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of total revenues. We use EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to measure the operating performance of our business and EBITDA Margin and Adjusted EBITDA Margin to measure our operating performance relative to our total revenues. We believe that EBITDA and EBITDA Marginthese metrics are useful measures to us and to our investors because they exclude certain financial and capital structure items that we do not believe directly reflect our core operations and may not be indicative of our recurring operations, in part because they may vary widely across time and within our industry independent of the performance of our core operations. We believe that excluding these items enables us to more effectively evaluate our performance period-over-period and relative to our competitors. EBITDA, and EBITDA Margin, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin may not be comparable to similarly titled measures provided by other companies due to potential differences in methods of calculations. A reconciliation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to net loss, which is the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure, and calculation of EBITDA Margin and Adjusted EBITDA Margin is as follows:

Liquidity and Capital Resources

General

We generate cash from the sale of used retail vehicles, the sale of wholesale vehicles, and proceeds from the sale of finance receivables originated in connection with the sale of used vehicles. We generate additional cash flows through our financing activities including our short-term revolving inventory and finance receivable facilities, real estate and equipment financing, the issuance of long-term notes, and new issuances of equity. Historically, cash generated from financing activities has funded growth and expansion into new markets and strategic initiatives and we expect this to continue in the future.

Our ability to service our debt and fund working capital, capital expenditures, and business development efforts will depend on our ability to generate cash from operating and financing activities, which is subject to our future operating performance, as well as to general economic, financial, competitive, legislative, regulatory, and other conditions, some of which may be beyond our control. Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including our rate of revenue growth, our construction of IRCs and vending machines, the timing and extent of our spending to support our technology and software development efforts, and increased population coverage.

(1) Based on pledging all eligible vehicles and finance receivables under the available capacity in the Floor Plan Facility and Finance Receivable Facilities, excluding the impact to restricted cash requirements.
(2) We have $285 million
Our total liquidity resources is composed of cash and $250 million of total unfunded grossequivalents, availability under existing credit facilities, and additional unpledged assets, including vehicle inventory, finance receivables, real estate, assetsand securities, on our balance sheet that can be financed using traditional asset-based financing sources.

Cash and cash equivalents includes cash deposits and highly liquid investment instruments with original maturities of three months or less, such as money market funds.

Availability under short-term revolving facilities is the available amount we can borrow under our existing vehicle inventory floor plan and finance receivable facilities based on the pledgable value of March 31, 2021vehicle inventory and December 31, 2020, respectively.finance receivables on our balance sheet on the period end date. Availability under short-term revolving facilities is distinct from the total commitment amount of these facilities because it represents the currently borrowable amount, rather than committed future amounts that could be borrowed to finance future additional assets.

As of March 31, 20212022 and December 31, 2020,2021, the short-term revolving facilities had a total capacitycommitment of approximately $2.25$5.6 billion and $4.3 billion, an outstanding balance of $122 million$2.8 billion and $40 million,$2.1 billion, and unused capacity of $2.1approximately $2.8 billion and $2.2 billion, respectively.

We also had $6 millionAvailability under real estate agreements is the available amount we can borrow under our existing real estate financing agreements based on the value of existing real estate on our balance sheet. From time to time, we may enter into committed fundsreal estate financing agreements that allow for future constructionpledging of real estate assets on a flexible timeline. We began using committed real estate financing agreements in 2017 and may do so in the future.

Unpledged vehicle inventory and finance receivables is the value of vehicle inventory and finance receivables on our balance sheet on the period end date beyond that covered by committed financing agreements.

Unpledged real estate assetsinclude IRC, vending machine, and hub real estate assets that have not been sold and are not pledged on the period end date. Since our first sale-leaseback transaction in 2017, we have historically had flexible access to real estate financing and expect to continue to use various forms of real estate financing in the future.

Unpledged beneficial interests in securitizations includes retained beneficial interests in securitizations that have not been previously pledged or sold. We historically have financed the majority of our retained beneficial interests in securitizations and expect to continue to do so in the future.

To optimize our cost of capital, in any given period we may choose not to maximize borrowings on our short-term revolving facilities, maximize revolving commitment size, or immediately sale-leaseback or pledge real estate and retained beneficial interests in securitizations. This has the benefit of reducing interest expense and debt issuance costs and providing flexibility to minimize financing costs over time.

We consider our total liquidity resources as an input into our planning. In general, changes in total liquidity resources fall into two broad categories: changes due to current business operations and changes due to investments in automotive retail assets.

Changes in liquidity due to current business operations include EBITDA net of IRCsshare-based compensation, non-real estate capital expenditures, including technology, furniture, fixtures, and equipment, and changes in traditional working capital, including accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses, and other miscellaneous assets and liabilities.

In the ordinary course of business, we sponsor and engage in securitization transactions to sell our finance receivables to a diverse pool of investors. These securitizations involve unconsolidated variable interest entities in which we retain at least 5% of the credit risk of the underlying finance receivable by holding at least 5% of the notes and certificates issued by these entities. We are exposed to market risk in the securitization market. See Note 9 — Securitizations and Variable Interest Entities, included in Part I, Item 1, Financial Statements, of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, for further discussion regarding our transactions with unfinished construction as of both March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020.unconsolidated variable interest entities.

In addition, as a growing automotive retailer, we had $80 millionalso invest in and $48 milliongenerate several types of total unpledgedautomotive retail assets, including vehicle inventory, finance receivables, retained beneficial interests in securitizations, asand real estate. To maximize capital efficiency, we generally seek to finance these assets with matched sources of March 31, 2021asset-based financing, including short-term revolving facilities for vehicle inventory and December 31, 2020, respectively.

On April 30, 2021, we entered into an agreement with a new lender pursuant to which the lender agreed to provide a $500 million revolving credit facility to fund certain automotive finance receivables, that we originated.beneficial interests financing for retained beneficial interests in securitizations, and sale-leaseback or other real estate financing for IRCs and vending machines. We can draw upon this facility until October 30, 2022.have historically used these sources of financing to finance our investment in these assets and expect to continue to do so in the future.

As of March 31, 20212022 and December 31, 2020,2021, our outstanding principal amount of indebtedness, including finance leases, was $2.5approximately $6.3 billion and $1.7$5.4 billion, respectively, summarized in the table below. See Note 910 — Debt Instruments and Note 15 —

The increase in our net cash used in operating activities was primarily due to changes in working capital, primarily related to the increase in our vehicle inventory, along with increased cash used by originations and proceeds of finance receivables due to the timing of originations and subsequent sales. These increases in uses of cash were partially offset by the net cash inflows associated with the change in accounts payable and accrued liabilities.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

From time to time, we are involved in various claims and legal actions that arise in the ordinary course of business. Although the results of litigation and claims cannot be predicted with certainty, we do not believe that the ultimate resolution of these actions will have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations, liquidity and capital resources.

Future litigation may be necessary to defend ourselves and our partners by determining the scope, enforceability and validity of third party proprietary rights or to establish our proprietary rights. The results of any current or future litigation cannot be predicted with certainty, and regardless of the outcome, litigation can have an adverse impact on us because of defense and settlement costs, diversion of management resources and other factors.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

There have been no material changes to the risk factors disclosed under the heading "Risk Factors" in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed on February 25, 2021.24, 2022, except as follows:

Our business is subject to risks related to the larger automotive ecosystem, including consumer demand, global supply chain challenges, and other macroeconomic issues.

Decreases in consumer demand could adversely affect the market for used vehicles and, as a result, reduce the number of consumers using our website and mobile application. Consumer purchases of new and used vehicles generally decline during recessionary periods and other periods in which disposable income is adversely affected. For example, the number of used vehicle sales in the United States decreased from approximately 41.4 million in 2007 to approximately 35.5 million in 2009, according to CNW Research Retail Automotive Summary. Inflationary cost increases for labor, materials, and services may cause costs to increase, as well as scarcity of certain products, which may also adversely affect the market for used vehicles. Purchases of new and used vehicles are typically discretionary for consumers and have been, and may continue to be, affected by negative trends in the economy and other factors, including the COVID-19 pandemic, inflation, rising interest rates, rising vehicle prices, the cost of energy and gasoline, the availability and cost of credit, reductions in business and consumer confidence, stock market volatility, increased regulation, increased unemployment, and market volatility related to the conflict in Ukraine. The conflict in Ukraine has and may continue to result in increased volatility in global oil and gas prices. It may also lead to changes in the availability of certain resources, such as nickel and neon, which may affect the supply of new vehicles, thereby affecting the supply chain and market for used vehicles. This volatility may change consumer car purchasing behaviors, which could materially and adversely affect our business and results of operations. To the extent the conflict in Ukraine adversely affects our business, it may also have the effect of heightening many other risks disclosed in our Form 10-K, any of which could materially and adversely affect our business and results of operations. Increased environmental regulation has also made, and may in the future make, used vehicles more expensive and less desirable for consumers. Our business may also be negatively affected by challenges to the larger automotive ecosystem, including urbanization, global supply chain challenges, military conflicts, and other macroeconomic issues. For example, rideshare services, such as Uber and Lyft, are becoming increasingly popular as a means of transportation and may decrease consumer demand for the used vehicles we sell, particularly if urbanization increases. New technologies such as autonomous driving software also have the potential to change the dynamics of vehicle ownership in the future. Any of the foregoing could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
