Summary

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.
