RICHMOND, Va., May 09, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- CarLotz, Inc. (the “Company” or “CarLotz”; NASDAQ: LOTZ), a leading consignment-to-retail used vehicle marketplace, today announced financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2022.
First Quarter 2022 Financial Results
- Net revenue increased 11% to $63.0 million from $56.6 million in the same period in 2021
- Retail unit sales were 2,270 compared to 2,554 in the same period in 2021
- Finance & insurance revenue increased 138% to $3.7 million from $1.6 million in the same period in 2021
- Gross profit was $2.1 million compared to $2.0 million in the same period in 2021
- Retail GPU was $827 compared to $1,182 in the same period in 2021
- Net loss attributable to common shareholders was $(24.8) million, or $(0.22) per diluted share, compared to $(15.0) million, or $(0.15) per diluted share, in the same period in 2021
- Adjusted EBITDA was $(25.6) million compared to $(16.9) million in the same period in 2021
“CarLotz reported first quarter revenues of $63.0 million in 2022, reflecting the foundational investments made in hubs, technology, and marketing last year. The revenue growth of 11% was driven by strong finance & insurance growth of 138% partially offset by a decline in retail units sold versus last year amid continued sourcing challenges. We are focused on driving improvements at a much quicker pace with an immediate focus on operating fundamentals and financial discipline,” said Lev Peker, Chief Executive Officer.
Mr. Peker continued, “Having completed my first three weeks as the CEO of CarLotz, I am excited about the opportunity to improve the execution and financial performance of the Company. We have an exceptionally talented team with significant experience that is focused on building the foundation of the Company. I am honored to be leading this impressive team as we deliver on our mission of creating the greatest vehicle buying and selling experience.”

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement the consolidated financial statements, which are prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP, we also present the following non-GAAP measures: EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA. We believe the presentation of both GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures provides investors with increased transparency into financial measures used by our 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 GAAP financial measures.
EBITDA is defined as net loss attributable to common stockholders adjusted to exclude interest expense, income tax expense and depreciation and amortization expense.
Adjusted EBITDA is EBITDA adjusted to exclude certain expenses related to the Company’s capital structure and management fee expense prior to the Merger, stock compensation expense and other non-operating income and expenses, including interest, investment gain/loss and nonrecurring income/expense.
Management believes the inclusion of supplementary adjustments to EBITDA applied in presenting Adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors in comparing the Company’s performance prior to the Merger and the Company’s performance following the Merger.
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA have limitations as analytical tools, and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of the results as reported under GAAP. These measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.
The following tables reconcile EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to net loss attributable to common stockholders for the periods presented:
