At the same time, we expanded both our reconditioning capacity and last mile delivery operations. We look forward to the continued evolution of our business in 2022 as we welcome our new Chief Operating Officer, Tom Shortt, to lead our efforts to achieve operational excellence and deliver an outstanding customer experience, as well as the team from UACC, as we build out our captive financing arm and improve our unit economics.

For 2022, we expect a further increase in ecommerce GPPU and continued leverage of our SG&A spend as we begin to capture the benefits of captive financing and sharpen our focus on incremental unit economics throughout our business.”

Fourth Quarter 2021

Ecommerce Units

Ecommerce units sold increased 92.7% to 21,243 as a result of higher inventory levels, strong national brand recognition driven by our national advertising campaign and higher marketing spend, as well as growing consumer acceptance of our business model. The increase was also attributable to strong market demand for used vehicles, caused in part by the shortage of microchips and delays in new car manufacturing. Average monthly unique visitors to our platform increased 132.9% to 2,338,718.

Ecommerce Revenue

Ecommerce revenue increased 159.2% to $738.7 million.

  • Ecommerce Vehicle revenue increased 160.7% to $715.9 million. The increase in ecommerce Vehicle revenue was primarily attributable to the increase in ecommerce units sold as well as an increase in the average selling price per unit, which increased from $24,909 to $33,699, primarily attributable to market appreciation.
  • Ecommerce Product revenue increased 119.7% to $22.8 million. The increase in ecommerce Product revenue was primarily attributable to the increase in ecommerce units sold as well as an increase in ecommerce Product revenue per unit, which increased from $943 to $1,075 per unit.

Ecommerce Gross Profit

Ecommerce gross profit increased 63.9% to $32.9 million.

  • Ecommerce Vehicle gross profit increased 3.8% to $10.1 million. The increase in ecommerce Vehicle gross profit was primarily due to an increase in ecommerce units sold, offset by a 46.1% decrease in ecommerce Vehicle gross profit per unit, which decreased from $878 to $473.
  • Ecommerce Product gross profit increased 119.7% to $22.8 million. The increase in ecommerce Product gross profit was primarily attributable to the increase in ecommerce units sold as well as an increase in ecommerce Product gross profit per unit, which increased from $943 to $1,075 per unit.

Ecommerce Gross Profit per Unit

Ecommerce gross profit per unit decreased 15.0% to $1,548.

  • Ecommerce Vehicle gross profit per unit decreased 46.1% to $473, primarily driven by lower sales margins as a result of high acquisition costs for premium vehicles in the third quarter, combined with the retail depreciation for these vehicles during the fourth quarter, as well as higher reconditioning costs due to labor shortages and elevated demand at third-party reconditioning partners.
  • Ecommerce Product gross profit per unit increased 14.0% to $1,075, primarily driven by an increase in the average loan size as a result of a higher average selling price per unit, as well as higher attachment rates on other value-added products.

%

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased 112.9% to $166.3 million. The increase was primarily due to:

  • $30.9 million increase in compensation and benefits due to an increase in headcount and an increase in variable fees for third-party sales and sales support providers as a result of an increase in units sold;
  • $19.7 million increase in marketing expense as we expanded our national broad-reach brand advertising and increased performance and online marketing as we continue to grow our listed inventory;
  • $17.3 million increase in outbound logistics costs primarily attributable to the growth in ecommerce units sold, which increased outbound logistics costs by $9.7 million, as well as increases in market rates of logistics providers, which increased outbound logistics costs by $7.6 million;
  • $3.6 million increase in professional fees primarily due to increased legal fees as well as consulting expenses in the engineering department; and
  • $15.1 million increase in other selling, general and administrative expenses primarily related to volume-based fees for software licenses and other variable expenses as our business continues to scale as well as additional insurance costs associated with being a publicly traded company and growing inventory.

We expect selling, general and administrative expenses to continue to increase in the future as we continue to scale our business, integrate and invest in UACC, invest in and improve our customer experience, and continue expanding our proprietary logistics and reconditioning networks. However, we believe these increases will be partially offset by operating leverage as our business continues to scale and we gain efficiencies from our investments in technology and process improvements.

Loss from Operations and Net Loss

Loss from operations increased 110.9% to $125.3 million. Net loss increased 114.0% to $129.8 million.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to our results determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP, we believe the following non-GAAP financial measures are useful in evaluating our operating performance: EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted loss from operations, Non-GAAP net loss, Non-GAAP net loss per share and Non-GAAP net loss per share, as adjusted. These non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools in that they do not reflect all of the amounts associated with our results of operations as determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Because of these limitations, these non-GAAP financial measures should be considered along with other operating and financial performance measures presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, financial information prepared and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. We have reconciled all non-GAAP financial measures with the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures.

EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted loss from operations, Non-GAAP net loss, Non-GAAP net loss per share and Non-GAAP net loss per share, as adjusted are supplemental performance measures that our management uses to assess our operating performance and the operating leverage in our business. Because EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted loss from operations, Non-GAAP net loss, Non-GAAP net loss per share and Non-GAAP net loss per share, as adjusted, facilitate internal comparisons of our historical operating performance on a more consistent basis, we use these measures for business planning purposes.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA

We calculate EBITDA as net loss before interest expense, interest income, income tax expense and depreciation and amortization expense and we calculate Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA adjusted to exclude the one-time, IPO related acceleration of non-cash stock-based compensation expense, the one-time, IPO related non-cash revaluation of a preferred stock warrant and acquisition related costs. The following table presents a reconciliation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to net loss, which is the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure:

Non-GAAP net loss, Non-GAAP net loss per share and Non-GAAP net loss per share, as adjusted

We calculate Non-GAAP net loss as net loss adjusted to exclude the one-time, IPO related acceleration of non-cash stock-based compensation expense, the one-time, IPO related non-cash revaluation of a preferred stock warrant and acquisition related costs. We calculate Non-GAAP net loss per share as Non-GAAP net loss divided by weighted average number of shares outstanding. The following table presents a reconciliation of Non-GAAP net loss and Non-GAAP net loss per share to net loss and net loss per share, which are the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measures:

  • Total revenues(1) of approximately $875 million.
  • Ecommerce unit sales of 18,000 to 19,000.
  • Ecommerce gross profit per unit of approximately $1,500.

(1)

 

Inclusive of UACC from acquisition date of February 1, 2022.

(2)

 

A reconciliation of non-GAAP guidance measures to corresponding GAAP measures for our first quarter 2022 Financial Outlook is not available on a forward-looking basis without unreasonable effort due to the uncertainty regarding, and the potential variability of, these costs and expenses that may be incurred in the future. We have provided a reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures for the fourth quarter 2021 in the reconciliation table in the Non-GAAP Financial Measures section above.

The foregoing estimates are forward-looking statements that reflect the Company’s expectations as of February 28, 2022 and are subject to substantial uncertainty. See “Forward-Looking Statements” below.
