2026-Q2
CARVANA CO. Quarterly Report for Q2 Ended Jun 30, 2026
Carvana Co. reported a strong second quarter for 2026, with total net sales and operating revenues increasing by 52.4% year-over-year to $7.4 billion. This growth was driven by a significant increase in retail vehicle unit sales, which rose 37.7% to nearly 200,000 units, coupled with a 17.4% increase in retail revenue per unit. The company also saw robust growth in wholesale units sold. Despite the increase in sales volume, total gross profit experienced a modest increase of 30.1% to $1.4 billion, leading to a slight decrease in total gross profit per unit. This is attributed to a shift in revenue mix towards lower-margin retail marketplace units and a decrease in wholesale gross profit per unit. The company's financial position appears solid, with cash and cash equivalents increasing to $2.6 billion and total liquidity resources reaching $7.0 billion. However, the company continues to manage a substantial amount of long-term debt, totaling $4.8 billion. Carvana also reported a net income attributable to Carvana Co. of $310 million for the quarter, a significant increase from the prior year's $183 million, indicating improved profitability on a consolidated basis.

Carvana Co. (CVNA) reported a strong first quarter for 2026, demonstrating significant top-line growth and improved profitability. Total net sales and operating revenues surged by 52.0% to $6.43 billion, driven by a substantial 62.0% increase in retail vehicle sales, reaching $4.83 billion.

Net income attributable to Carvana Co. increased to $250 million, or $1.69 per diluted share, compared to $216 million, or $1.51 per diluted share, in the prior year's quarter.

CARVANA CO. Quarterly Report for Q3 Ended Sep 30, 2025
Carvana Co. reported significant revenue growth in the third quarter of 2025, with total net sales and operating revenues increasing by 54.5% year-over-year to $5.65 billion. This growth was driven primarily by a substantial increase in retail vehicle sales, up 57.1%, and wholesale sales, up 49.7%. The company also saw strong performance in other revenue streams, including gains on loan sales and complementary product commissions. Despite the revenue surge, total gross profit per unit saw a slight decrease of 0.9%, attributed to higher retail depreciation rates and lower spreads between retail and wholesale market prices, though overall gross profit improved significantly due to higher sales volumes. Carvana's liquidity position remains strong, with total liquidity resources of $6.44 billion as of September 30, 2025, bolstered by substantial cash and cash equivalents and significant availability under its revolving credit facilities. The company also actively managed its debt, including the voluntary redemption of a portion of its 2028 Senior Secured Notes. While the company demonstrated robust top-line growth and improved profitability on a consolidated basis, investors should note the continued increase in selling, general, and administrative expenses, which rose by 26.9%, primarily due to higher advertising and headcount costs associated with increased retail unit sales.

Furthermore, the substantial increase in 'Other sales and revenues,' primarily driven by gains on loan sales, highlights Carvana's success in monetizing its finance receivables.

CARVANA CO. Quarterly Report for Q2 Ended Jun 30, 2024
Carvana Co. (CVNA) reported a significant improvement in its financial performance for the second quarter and first half of 2024, demonstrating a substantial increase in profitability driven by higher retail unit sales and improved gross profit per unit. Total net sales and operating revenues rose by 14.9% year-over-year to $3.41 billion for the quarter and 16.1% to $6.47 billion for the first half. Gross profit saw a substantial increase of 43.3% to $715 million for the quarter and 55.5% to $1.31 billion for the first half, largely due to a significant rise in retail vehicle gross profit. The company reported a net income attributable to Carvana Co. of $18 million ($0.14 per diluted share) for the second quarter, a notable turnaround from a net loss of $58 million ($0.55 per diluted share) in the prior year. For the first half of the year, net income attributable to Carvana Co. was $46 million ($0.36 per diluted share), a significant improvement from a net loss of $218 million ($2.05 per diluted share) in the first half of 2023. This turnaround is attributed to strong execution on operational efficiency and profitability initiatives, including reduced vehicle acquisition costs and faster inventory turn times. Carvana's liquidity position has also strengthened, with total liquidity resources increasing to $4.11 billion from $3.13 billion. The company repurchased $250 million of its 2028 Senior Secured Notes and successfully raised $347 million in net proceeds from its at-the-market equity offering program.

CARVANA CO. Quarterly Report for Q1 Ended Mar 31, 2024
Carvana Co. (CVNA) reported its first-quarter 2024 financial results, demonstrating a significant turnaround in profitability and operational efficiency. Total net sales and operating revenues increased by 17.5% year-over-year to $3.06 billion, driven by a robust 19.0% rise in retail vehicle sales. The company reported a substantial improvement in gross profit, which surged by 73.3% to $591 million, with retail vehicle gross profit experiencing a remarkable 157.3% increase to $283 million.

2023-Q3
CARVANA CO. Quarterly Report for Q3 Ended Sep 30, 2023
Carvana Co. (CVNA) reported its third-quarter 2023 financial results, showcasing a significant improvement in profitability and a stronger balance sheet following a strategic debt restructuring. Revenue saw a decline year-over-year, primarily due to lower retail unit sales influenced by macroeconomic factors and the company's continued focus on profitability initiatives. Despite the revenue dip, gross profit experienced substantial growth, driven by a sharp increase in gross profit per retail unit. This improvement was attributed to lower average days to sale, wider wholesale vs. retail market price spreads, and reduced reconditioning and inbound transport costs. The company successfully reduced its total debt by approximately $2.3 billion through a series of debt exchange and tender offers, significantly lowering near-term cash interest expenses and improving its overall financial flexibility. This restructuring, along with proceeds from equity offerings and improved operational efficiency, led to a substantial increase in cash flow from operations. Management believes the current working capital, cash flows from operations, and expected continued financing arrangements will be sufficient to fund operations for at least the next year.
Nov 2, 2023
2023-Q2
CARVANA CO. Quarterly Report for Q2 Ended Jun 30, 2023
Carvana Co. reported a decrease in net sales and operating revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2023, down 23.6% to $2.97 billion, primarily driven by a 33.8% decline in retail vehicle sales. This decline is attributed to macroeconomic factors like higher interest rates and inflation impacting affordability, coupled with Carvana's strategic focus on profitability which led to reduced advertising and inventory levels. Despite lower unit sales, total gross profit saw a significant increase of 26.0% to $499 million, bolstered by improved gross profit per retail unit and strong performance in wholesale operations. The company ended the quarter with a cash balance of $541 million and total liquidity resources of approximately $3.6 billion, demonstrating a focus on managing its financial position amidst ongoing strategic adjustments.
Jul 19, 2023
2023-Q1
CARVANA CO. Quarterly Report for Q1 Ended Mar 31, 2023
Carvana Co. (CVNA) reported a significant year-over-year decrease in net sales and operating revenues for the first quarter of 2023, down 25.5% to $2.6 billion. This decline was primarily driven by a 33.1% drop in retail vehicle sales, reflecting a challenging macroeconomic environment characterized by increased interest rates and inflation, impacting vehicle affordability. Despite the revenue contraction, the company managed to improve its gross profit by 14.4% to $341 million, largely due to a substantial increase in gross profit per unit across both retail and wholesale segments. This improvement was attributed to lower acquisition, reconditioning, and inbound transport costs for retail vehicles, and lower acquisition costs for wholesale vehicles. While the company continues to navigate a difficult market, its focus on operational efficiency and profitability initiatives has led to a significant reduction in selling, general, and administrative (SG&A) expenses, down 35% year-over-year. However, interest expense increased significantly by $95 million due to higher borrowings and rising interest rates. Carvana ended the quarter with $694 million in cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash, and its liquidity resources totaled $3.5 billion, indicating a continued ability to fund operations, although debt levels remain substantial at $8.5 billion.
May 4, 2023
2022-Q3
CARVANA CO. Quarterly Report for Q3 Ended Sep 30, 2022
Carvana Co. (CVNA) reported its third quarter 2022 financial results, showing a significant increase in total assets to $9.62 billion from $7.02 billion at the end of 2021, largely driven by the acquisition of ADESA. However, this growth came with a substantial increase in total liabilities to $9.25 billion from $6.49 billion. The company's net sales and operating revenues for the quarter were $3.39 billion, a slight decrease from $3.48 billion in the prior year, while the net loss attributable to Carvana Co. widened significantly to $283 million from $32 million in the same period of 2021. This performance was impacted by macroeconomic headwinds, including rising interest rates and inflation, which reduced vehicle affordability and led to fewer retail unit sales, although the average selling price per retail unit increased.
Nov 3, 2022
2022-Q2
CARVANA CO. Quarterly Report for Q2 Ended Jun 30, 2022
Carvana Co. (CVNA) reported its second-quarter 2022 financial results, showing year-over-year revenue growth driven by increased used vehicle sales, up 18.3% to $3.0 billion for the quarter. This growth was supported by a 9.0% increase in retail unit sales. However, profitability faced significant pressure, with total gross profit declining 28.3% to $396 million, and used vehicle gross profit per unit dropping by 44.1% to $1,131. This decline was attributed to higher reconditioning, inbound transport costs, and increased retail depreciation rates, impacting the company's ability to pass on rising costs in a dynamic market. The company also reported a significant net loss of $238 million attributable to Carvana Co. for the quarter, compared to a net income of $22 million in the prior year period. Financially, Carvana has bolstered its liquidity through significant financing activities, including an equity offering that raised $1.2 billion and the issuance of $3.275 billion in senior unsecured notes. These funds were partially used to finance the $2.2 billion acquisition of ADESA's U.S. physical auction business. Despite these efforts, the company's balance sheet shows substantial liabilities, with total liabilities increasing to $9.6 billion. Management believes current working capital and financing arrangements are sufficient to fund operations for at least one year.
Aug 4, 2022
2022-Q1
CARVANA CO. Quarterly Report for Q1 Ended Mar 31, 2022
Carvana Co. reported its first quarter 2022 results, showing significant revenue growth driven by both higher vehicle prices and increased unit sales. Total net sales and operating revenues jumped 55.8% year-over-year to $3.5 billion. This was primarily fueled by a 51.8% increase in used vehicle sales, reaching $2.7 billion, and a substantial 139.6% surge in wholesale vehicle sales to $575 million. Despite the strong top-line performance, gross profit experienced a decline of 11.8% to $298 million, with used vehicle gross profit per unit falling 33.3% to $808. This compression in profitability per unit was attributed to higher reconditioning costs, increased wholesale acquisition prices, and unfavorable shifts in acquisition mix. The company's net loss widened considerably to $506 million from $82 million in the prior year quarter. This substantial loss was impacted by a significant increase in selling, general, and administrative (SG&A) expenses, which more than doubled to $727 million, largely due to higher compensation, advertising, and general operating costs. Additionally, interest expense rose to $64 million. Management highlighted investments in infrastructure and market expansion as key drivers for these increased expenses, anticipating continued investment to support future growth. Subsequent to the quarter, Carvana completed a significant equity offering and a large debt issuance to fund the acquisition of ADESA's U.S. physical auction business. While the revenue growth is impressive, the increasing losses and declining per-unit profitability warrant close monitoring by investors, especially considering the broader economic headwinds and rising interest rate environment. The company's liquidity remains a key consideration, although recent financing activities aim to bolster its position.
May 10, 2022
2021-Q3
CARVANA CO. Quarterly Report for Q3 Ended Sep 30, 2021
Carvana Co. (CVNA) reported significant revenue growth in the third quarter and first nine months of 2021, with total net sales and operating revenues increasing by 125.4% and 141.0% year-over-year, respectively. This growth was primarily driven by a substantial increase in used vehicle unit sales, which rose by 73.8% and 81.6% for the respective periods. The company also saw strong performance in wholesale vehicle sales and other revenue streams, including gains on finance receivables and ancillary product sales. Despite top-line growth, Carvana continued to experience operating losses, with a net loss attributable to Carvana Co. of $32 million for the third quarter and $46 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. Key financial highlights include an increase in total gross profit by 99.6% and 156.9% for the three and nine-month periods, respectively. However, gross profit per retail unit for used vehicles saw a slight decrease in the third quarter, primarily due to higher reconditioning costs and acquisition prices, although it improved year-over-year for the nine-month period. The company continues to invest heavily in growth, as evidenced by the significant increase in selling, general, and administrative expenses, driven by expanded teams and increased advertising spend.
Nov 4, 2021
2021-Q2
CARVANA CO. Quarterly Report for Q2 Ended Jun 30, 2021
Carvana Co. (CVNA) reported significant top-line growth in its second quarter and first half of 2021, driven by a substantial increase in used vehicle sales. Total net sales and operating revenues surged by 198.4% year-over-year for the quarter and 151.9% for the half-year, reflecting strong demand and expanded market coverage. The company achieved profitability in the current quarter, a notable improvement from the net loss in the same period last year, indicating progress in scaling its operations. The growth in retail units sold, up 95.7% for the quarter and 86.3% for the half-year, underpins this revenue expansion, supported by increased population coverage and brand awareness. Despite the robust revenue growth and improved profitability, the company continues to face substantial operating expenses, particularly in SG&A, as it invests heavily in infrastructure and marketing to support future expansion. While vehicle acquisition and reconditioning costs remain significant, the company is demonstrating an ability to leverage its scale, as evidenced by the improving gross profit per unit. Investors should monitor the company's path to sustained profitability, its debt levels, and its ability to effectively manage its aggressive growth strategy.
Aug 5, 2021
2021-Q1
CARVANA CO. Quarterly Report for Q1 Ended Mar 31, 2021
Carvana Co. (CVNA) reported its first quarter 2021 results, showing substantial revenue growth driven by a significant increase in used vehicle sales. Total net sales and operating revenues more than doubled year-over-year, reaching $2.25 billion, largely fueled by a 86.7% increase in used vehicle sales. The company also saw a significant jump in wholesale vehicle sales and other sales and revenues, which include gains from financing receivables. Despite the top-line growth, the company's net loss widened to $82 million compared to $184 million in the prior year, and a net loss attributable to Carvana Co. of $36 million, indicating ongoing investments in growth. Key financial developments include a robust increase in vehicle inventory and significant growth in property and equipment, reflecting continued investment in infrastructure. The company also raised substantial capital through debt issuance, increasing its total debt by over $700 million sequentially to $2.45 billion net. This strong revenue growth, combined with strategic investments, positions Carvana to capture a larger share of the online used car market, though investors should monitor the increasing net loss and debt levels.
May 6, 2021
2020-Q3
CARVANA CO. Quarterly Report for Q3 Ended Sep 30, 2020
Carvana Co. (CVNA) reported strong top-line growth in its third quarter of 2020, with net sales and operating revenues increasing by 41.0% year-over-year to $1.54 billion. This growth was primarily driven by a 38.5% increase in used vehicle sales, fueled by a 38.8% rise in unit sales to 64,414 vehicles, supported by the company's expansion into new markets and increased brand awareness. Despite the revenue growth, the company continued to operate at a net loss, with a net loss attributable to Carvana Co. of $7.1 million for the quarter. However, gross profit saw a significant increase of 90.0% to $261.3 million, driven by improvements in per-unit gross profit across all segments, particularly used vehicles and wholesale. The company also highlighted its strong liquidity position and successful equity offerings during the period, positioning it for continued investment in growth initiatives. Management emphasized the company's resilience and adaptability in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic, noting a strong rebound in demand during the third quarter after initial impacts. Carvana's e-commerce model, offering "touchless" delivery, was highlighted as a key differentiator and enabler of safe transactions. The company expanded its market coverage significantly, reaching 261 markets by the end of the quarter. Despite the ongoing net losses, the substantial increase in revenue, gross profit, and per-unit profitability, coupled with robust market expansion and a healthy cash position, indicates positive operational momentum for Carvana.
Oct 29, 2020
2020-Q2
CARVANA CO. Quarterly Report for Q2 Ended Jun 30, 2020
Carvana Co. (CVNA) reported its financial results for the second quarter and first half of 2020. The company saw a significant increase in total net sales and operating revenues, driven by a 25.2% and 33.1% year-over-year increase in used vehicle unit sales for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively. This growth was attributed to expanded market reach and increased consumer acceptance of online car purchasing, partly accelerated by the COVID-19 pandemic and the company's "touchless delivery" process. Despite revenue growth, Carvana continued to incur net losses, with a net loss attributable to Carvana Co. of $40.8 million for the quarter and $100.7 million for the first half. The company's gross profit saw an increase, but total gross profit per unit decreased year-over-year, impacted by factors including increased average days to sale and a shift in vehicle mix. Selling, general, and administrative expenses also rose significantly, reflecting investments in market expansion and increased compensation. The company ended the period with a stronger liquidity position, including a substantial increase in cash and cash equivalents and significant availability under its revolving credit facilities, bolstered by a successful equity offering in the second quarter.
Aug 5, 2020
2020-Q1
CARVANA CO. Quarterly Report for Q1 Ended Mar 31, 2020
Carvana Co. reported a net loss of $183.6 million for the first quarter of 2020, an increase from the $82.6 million loss in the same period of 2019. This widening loss was primarily driven by a significant increase in selling, general, and administrative expenses, which more than doubled year-over-year, and higher interest expenses. Despite the increased loss, total net sales and operating revenues grew by a substantial 45.4% to $1.1 billion, largely fueled by a 41.0% increase in used vehicle sales and a 141.0% surge in wholesale vehicle sales. The company expanded its market presence significantly, ending the quarter with 161 markets compared to 109 in the prior year. However, the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in March 2020 began to impact operations, leading to temporary pauses in new market openings and discretionary spending reductions, while also negatively affecting wholesale gross profit per unit and gains on loan sales due to market disruptions. Despite the challenging environment and widening net loss, Carvana demonstrated strong revenue growth and unit sales expansion. The company ended the quarter with improved liquidity, including $72.4 million in cash and cash equivalents and significant availability under its revolving credit facilities. Management indicated that actions taken in response to COVID-19, along with existing working capital and financing, were believed to be sufficient to fund operations for at least one year. The company also successfully completed a registered direct offering in April 2020, raising approximately $599.5 million in net proceeds, which will bolster its financial position in the face of ongoing economic uncertainty.

Carvana Co. (CVNA) reported significant year-over-year growth in its Q3 2019 10-Q filing, with total net sales and operating revenues increasing by 104.7% to $1.09 billion. This revenue surge was primarily driven by a substantial 91.5% increase in used vehicle sales, reflecting successful market expansion and improved penetration in existing markets. The company's strategic focus on scaling its online platform and vertically integrated supply chain is evident in the reported unit sales growth of 83.3% for used vehicles. Despite the top-line growth, Carvana continued to operate at a net loss, although the loss attributable to Carvana Co. narrowed significantly on a per-share basis due to increased share count. The company demonstrated strong execution in expanding its market reach, growing from 78 markets at the end of Q3 2018 to 146 markets by the end of Q3 2019. This expansion, coupled with increased brand awareness and inventory selection, fueled the growth in retail units sold.

Carvana Co. (CVNA) reported significant revenue growth in the second quarter of 2019, with total net sales and operating revenues increasing by 107.5% year-over-year to $986.2 million. This growth was primarily driven by a substantial increase in used vehicle sales, up 95.4% to $855.8 million, fueled by a 94.9% rise in retail unit sales to 44,000 units. The company continued its aggressive market expansion, more than doubling its markets served to 137 from 65 year-over-year. Despite strong top-line performance, Carvana's net loss also widened significantly, from $51.3 million in Q2 2018 to $64.1 million in Q2 2019, reflecting ongoing investments in growth, increased selling, general, and administrative expenses, and higher interest expenses. The balance sheet shows a substantial increase in vehicle inventory and finance receivables, indicating continued investment in scaling the business. The company also raised significant capital through equity offerings, underscoring its need for funding to support its growth trajectory. While revenue and unit sales demonstrate strong operational momentum, the increasing net loss highlights the capital-intensive nature of Carvana's expansion strategy and the ongoing challenge of achieving profitability.
Aug 7, 2019
2019-Q1
CARVANA CO. Quarterly Report for Q1 Ended Mar 31, 2019
Carvana Co. (CVNA) reported strong revenue growth in the first quarter of 2019, with total net sales and operating revenues increasing by 109.5% year-over-year to $755.2 million. This growth was primarily driven by a significant increase in used vehicle sales, which rose 104.7% to $683.8 million, fueled by a 99.1% increase in retail unit sales to 36,766 vehicles. The company also saw substantial growth in wholesale vehicle sales (226.0%) and other sales and revenues (136.4%), indicating broad-based top-line expansion. Despite the robust revenue growth, Carvana continued to operate at a net loss, reporting a net loss of $82.6 million for the quarter, an increase from $52.7 million in the prior year period. This widening net loss is attributed to significant investments in growth, including expansion into new markets, increased advertising spend, and higher selling, general, and administrative expenses. The company's liquidity remains a key focus, with cash and cash equivalents increasing to $85.3 million, and total liquidity resources available at $342.3 million, supported by a substantial floor plan facility and other financing arrangements.

2018-Q3
CARVANA CO. Quarterly Report for Q3 Ended Sep 30, 2018
Carvana's Q3 2018 10-Q shows a company in rapid growth but still deeply unprofitable and heavily reliant on external financing. Net sales and operating revenues rose 137.3% year over year to $534.9 million for the quarter (130.8% to $1.37 billion for the nine months), driven by retail units sold up 115.9% for the nine months to 66,358 and the number of markets doubling to 78. Gross profit reached $57.3 million in the quarter, though the company still posted a net loss of $64.4 million, with SG&A of $115.8 million and a nine-month net loss of $168.3 million. Management's EBITDA ex-Gift margin improved to (8.3%) in Q3 from (15.9%) a year earlier, and used-vehicle gross profit per unit rose meaningfully as average days to sale fell from 97 to 63. The balance sheet and cash flows warrant close attention. Operating cash outflow was $263.9 million for the nine months, funded largely by floor plan borrowings, a $350 million 8.875% senior unsecured notes issuance due 2023 (net proceeds about $342.5 million), and a $172.3 million follow-on equity offering. Total debt-like obligations, including the floor plan facility, notes, and sale-leaseback liabilities, are substantial, and the company had only about $0.6 million of available floor plan capacity at quarter end. Subsequent to the quarter, management amended the floor plan facility to $650 million, extended the purchaser commitments on finance receivables by roughly $2.6 billion in aggregate, and disclosed that the company will cease to be an emerging growth company as of December 31, 2018. For investors, the key question is whether unit growth and per-unit gross profit improvements can translate into sustained operating leverage while the company continues to depend on third-party receivable purchasers and floor plan lenders. The 100k Milestone Gift adds non-cash compensation expense that management excludes from its non-GAAP measures, which investors should weigh alongside the GAAP results.

2018-Q2
CARVANA CO. Quarterly Report for Q2 Ended Jun 30, 2018
Carvana Co. (CVNA) reported significant growth in its second quarter and first half of 2018, driven by a substantial increase in used vehicle sales. Total net sales and operating revenues surged by approximately 127% year-over-year for both the three and six-month periods, reaching $475.3 million and $835.7 million, respectively. This top-line growth was fueled by a more than doubling of retail unit sales, expanding from 10,682 to 22,570 units for the quarter and from 19,016 to 41,034 units for the half-year. The company also demonstrated improved operational efficiency, with average days to sale decreasing significantly, leading to a higher gross profit per unit. Despite the impressive revenue and unit sales growth, Carvana continued to operate at a net loss. The net loss attributable to Carvana Co. widened in the quarter to $9.965 million from $4.276 million in the prior year period, and for the six months to $17.0 million from $8.466 million. This was largely due to increased selling, general, and administrative expenses, particularly in advertising and compensation, as the company invested heavily in market expansion and infrastructure. The company maintained a strong focus on liquidity, supported by its IPO and follow-on offering proceeds, and has sufficient working capital for at least the next twelve months.

2018-Q1
CARVANA CO. Quarterly Report for Q1 Ended Mar 31, 2018
Carvana's first-quarter 2018 10-Q shows rapid top-line growth alongside widening losses and heavy cash consumption as the company expands into new markets. Net sales and operating revenues rose 126.6% year over year to $360.4 million, driven by a 121.6% increase in retail units sold to 18,464 and the expansion from 23 to 56 markets. Gross profit climbed to $34.2 million from $9.7 million, and total gross profit per unit improved to $1,854 from $1,169, helped by a drop in average days to sale from 93 to 70. Profitability remains weak. SG&A rose to $83.2 million, driven by advertising and market-expansion costs, and the net loss widened to $52.7 million from $38.4 million. EBITDA was negative $44.5 million, an EBITDA margin of -12.4%. Net loss attributable to Carvana Co. was only $7.0 million because $45.6 million of the loss was absorbed by non-controlling interests (the pre-IPO LLC unitholders, who own about 86.1% of Carvana Group). Operating cash flow was negative $131.4 million, largely from a $72.0 million increase in vehicle inventory. Cash and cash equivalents fell to $121.5 million, though the company's April 30, 2018 follow-on offering raised about $173.3 million in net proceeds, and management states current resources are sufficient for at least the next 12 months. Balance sheet leverage increased. The Floor Plan Facility balance reached $348.5 million against roughly $1.5 million of remaining availability, so the company depends heavily on the facility's $350 million limit and on its planned extension. Total stockholders' equity declined to $226.9 million, and the company carries a full valuation allowance on deferred tax assets, with an unrecorded tax receivable agreement liability of about $17.3 million.

2017-Q3
CARVANA CO. Quarterly Report for Q3 Ended Sep 30, 2017
Carvana Co. (CVNA) reported its first full quarter-plus of results as a public company (IPO completed May 3, 2017 at $15.00/share, raising about $205.9 million net). Revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2017 rose 128% year over year to $225.4 million, and nine-month revenue rose 130% to $593.8 million, driven by retail units sold growing 133.5% to 30,735 for the nine months and the market count expanding from 16 to 39. Gross profit grew to $20.4 million in the quarter (from $6.8 million), with total gross profit per unit rising to $1,742 from $1,347, though used-vehicle average selling prices declined modestly and average days to sale lengthened to 99 days. Profitability remains weak. Net loss widened to $117.1 million for the nine months (from $57.4 million), and SG&A expenses more than doubled to $156.6 million as the company expanded into new markets, built vending machines, and grew headcount. Net loss attributable to Carvana Co. was much smaller ($57.4 million for nine months) because Carvana Co. owns only about 11% of Carvana Group, with the remaining 89% held by existing LLC unitholders, mainly the Garcia family and affiliates. Operating cash burn was $116.0 million for the nine months, funded by the IPO and financing activities. Cash rose to $103.5 million at quarter-end, and the company states that current resources should fund operations for at least 12 months. Liquidity and related-party exposure are central investor considerations. The company depends on its $275 million floor plan facility (rising to $350 million in 2018, with $79.9 million available at quarter-end) and on sales of finance receivables to third parties, with subsequent-event amendments in November 2017 expanding the purchase agreement capacity to $1.5 billion. Many operations rely on DriveTime, a company controlled by the controlling shareholder, including shared services, leases, inventory arrangements and vehicle service contract administration. The company also has a Tax Receivable Agreement obligating it to pay 85% of realized tax savings to existing unitholders, and it has a full valuation allowance against deferred tax assets.

2017-Q2
CARVANA CO. Quarterly Report for Q2 Ended Jun 30, 2017
Carvana Co. (CVNA) reported its first quarterly 10-Q following its May 3, 2017 IPO of 15.0 million Class A shares at $15.00, which raised approximately $205.9 million net. Growth remained very strong: net sales and operating revenues rose 142.0% year over year to $209.4 million in Q2 2017 and 131.0% to $368.4 million for the first half. Retail units sold grew 145.3% in the quarter to 10,682, and the company expanded from 14 to 30 markets. Total gross profit per unit improved to $1,501 from $1,386, driven by higher used-vehicle gross profit per unit ($765 vs. $531), even as average days to sale lengthened to 105 from 93 and average selling prices dipped slightly. Profitability remains negative. Q2 net loss was $38.9 million (EBITDA margin of -16.1%), and the six-month net loss was $77.3 million, up from $35.4 million. SG&A rose to $97.9 million for the six months, driven by compensation, advertising, and market expansion, and operating cash burn was $61.3 million. Net loss attributable to Carvana Co. was $14.5 million for the quarter, because Carvana Co. owns only about 11% of Carvana Group; the remaining 89% is held by existing LLC unitholders, mainly the Garcia family and affiliates of DriveTime. Liquidity improved with cash of $144.4 million at June 30, 2017, versus $39.2 million at year-end 2016. Management states that current resources are sufficient for at least 12 months. Key risks include related-party dependence on DriveTime for services, leases, and VSC administration; a floor plan facility of $200.0 million that matures in December 2017 (later extended in August 2017 to $275.0 million, and to $350.0 million in 2018); and a Tax Receivable Agreement that requires payments of 85% of realized tax savings to existing unitholders. Investors should weigh rapid top-line growth against continued losses and the concentration of control in the controlling shareholder's hands.

2017-Q1
CARVANA CO. Quarterly Report for Q1 Ended Mar 31, 2017
Carvana Co. (CVNA) filed this 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2017, shortly after its May 3, 2017 IPO of 15.0 million Class A shares at $15.00, which raised approximately $210.7 million net. Because Carvana Co. was a newly formed holding company with no activity before the IPO, the core financials in this filing are those of its predecessor, Carvana Group, LLC. Those results show rapid top-line growth alongside widening losses: net sales and operating revenues rose 118.1% to $159.1 million, retail units sold grew 120.3% to 8,334, and total gross profit per unit improved to $1,169 from $1,046. Net loss, however, increased to $38.4 million from $17.3 million, driven mainly by SG&A growth of 122.6% to $45.9 million as the company expanded to 23 markets, up from 11 a year earlier. The balance sheet and cash flow profile show a business that is still heavily reliant on external financing. Cash fell to $8.3 million, and operating cash burn was $52.9 million for the quarter, funded by floor plan borrowings of $189.7 million (against a $200 million facility with only $10.3 million of availability) and a $20.0 million related-party Verde credit facility at 12% PIK interest, later expanded to $35.0 million and repaid with IPO proceeds. Members' deficit widened to $161.5 million, partly because of a 12.5% compounding accrued return on Class C preferred units, which is now eliminated by the IPO. Management asserts that working capital is sufficient for at least one year, and the company states it expects further losses. For investors, the key structural points are governance and related-party exposure. The Garcia family controls roughly 97% of voting power through Class B shares carrying ten votes each, and Carvana Co. will consolidate Carvana Group with a non-controlling interest. The company also depends heavily on DriveTime, a Garcia-controlled affiliate that provides leases, shared services, the Verde facility, and a potential sale of DriveTime, which introduces uncertainty about future arrangements. A tax receivable agreement requires Carvana Co. to pay 85% of realized tax savings to certain LLC unitholders.
