Exhibit 99.1
Dear Shareholders,

The first half of 2020 has been an unprecedented time for all of us as we have grappled with the health and economic consequences of COVID-19. It has also been the most dynamic period we have managed through as a company. The second quarter started at the peak of COVID-19 related economic disruption and ended with structural shifts in customer preferences leading to the strongest demand we have ever seen. Throughout, we have been tested—operationally and culturally. We have risen to the occasion as can be seen in our results, and the quality of our customer experiences. There is a lot to discuss in the quarter and a lot of detail to parse, but we believe the way the team handled the dynamic environment and came together is the development with the most important long term implications. We are extremely proud of our team.

Looking forward, we are as optimistic as ever. It is still hard to say exactly how powerful the effects of all of this will be in the long run, but based on the data we see, we believe the long-term opportunity of the business is even larger than we previously thought and that the medium-term opportunity may be materially larger as COVID-19 and its follow on effects have likely accelerated the adoption of ecommerce across retail verticals. In the immediate term, we have our work cut out for us to catch up with the demand we are seeing and we are up to the challenge.

For the last seven years we have worked tirelessly to build a scalable offering that leverages modern technology to deliver the best customer experiences available anywhere and we have positioned ourselves as well as we could have for the behavior changes we are now witnessing. As a team we are focused on pouring the same energy that got us here in that short period of time into continuing our journey to selling 2 million+ cars per year and becoming the largest and most profitable automotive retailer.

Outlook
In light of the uncertainty surrounding COVID-19 and its economic repercussions, we are not providing guidance at this time. Instead, we are providing more granular quarterly data and directional color.

Sales began to rebound in late April, and continued to improve with sales growth of approximately 40% year-over-year later in the quarter. This sales strength continued in July.

We are currently seeing more demand for our offering than we’ve ever seen in our history. However, as a result of pausing purchasing operations and reducing production capacity at the onset of the pandemic, as well as ongoing COVID-19 related disruptions more recently, we are inventory-constrained and over the immediate term we expect our sales volumes to largely be dictated by our production capacity.

Looking toward Q3, we expect Total GPU to increase relative to Q2, primarily driven by higher retail GPU, and we expect meaningful EBITDA margin improvement.

Managing the Business Through COVID-19 and Beyond

The COVID-19 pandemic has required real-time responses across all areas of our business. Over this short period of time, we faced unprecedented disruption, health concerns, the need to implement new policies to keep our team safe, as well as rapid demand declines followed by unprecedented demand recovery. Through it all, we reacted nimbly to the changing environment by utilizing our company values and a long-term lens. We’ve categorized the crisis thus far into three distinct phases.

In the first phase, as demand decreased, we immediately responded by de-risking the business and preparing for uncertainty. Then, as demand started to rebound, we quickly adapted and scaled up operations and production. Currently, we are experiencing operational constraints, which we are actively working to alleviate. More granular detail is illustrated below.

pic11.jpg

We are extremely optimistic about the implications of recent consumer behavior shifts in the medium and long-term.

Seven years ago we began on a journey to provide a seamless end-to-end online automotive retail experience. We methodically assembled the right technology, infrastructure, brand, team, and culture to give customers the best online car buying experience available. And we are tirelessly working to continue to improve our offering every day. These efforts have led to 6 straight years of triple digit growth and positioned us as the clear market leader. Today customer preferences are moving even more rapidly in our direction.

COVID-19 has caused all of us to reevaluate our shopping behaviors. Many people who previously would not have considered buying a car online are giving it a second thought. In a recent CarGurus survey, 60% of respondents said they were open to buying a car online vs. 32% before. We believe this shift is here to stay.

Expansion

We opened a record 100 new markets in Q2 2020, increasing the total percentage of the U.S. population we serve in our 261 markets to 73.2%, up from 68.7% at the end of Q1 2020.

Following quarter-end, we launched our ninth IRC near Columbus, Ohio, a four-line facility increasing our annual production capacity to nearly 500K vehicles at full utilization. We expect to open two additional IRCs by year-end that are currently under construction and will provide over 100K in additional production capacity. Beyond those, we also have a robust IRC pipeline that will continue building on our existing foundation to achieve our long-term goal of 2 million+ cars per year. To correspondingly scale up other components of the supply chain, we are also significantly increasing capacity in our logistics and last mile delivery network to support rising customer demand.

Management Objectives
As discussed in previous shareholder letters, our management team focuses on delivering an exceptional and unparalleled customer experience while simultaneously growing the business rapidly and achieving our financial objectives. We firmly believe wowing the customer is the core of our model and drives all other metrics. To realize our long-term vision, our three primary financial objectives remain unchanged: (1) Grow Retail Units and Revenue; (2) Increase Total Gross Profit Per Unit; and (3) Demonstrate Operating Leverage. We believe continued focus on these goals will lead to a strong long-term financial model.

Below we present our long-term financial model that we introduced at our Analyst Day on November 29, 2018. We believe this is the appropriate frame through which to evaluate our results and progress towards each of our financial objectives.

Objective #1: Grow Retail Units and Revenue

Retail units sold and revenue grew year-over-year despite sales hitting a low for the year in April due to COVID-19. Sales began to rebound in late April, and continued to improve with sales growth of approximately 40% year-over-year later in the quarter.

For the quarter, retail units sold increased to 55,098, up 25% from 44,000 in Q2 2019. Q2 revenue grew to $1.118 billion, up 13% from $986 million. Growth in units was higher than growth in revenue primarily due to lower average selling prices and lower wholesale revenue this quarter compared to Q2 2019. Lower average selling prices were driven primarily by vehicle acquisition mix, and lower wholesale revenue was driven primarily by pausing purchasing from customers early in the pandemic.

Our rapid growth in retail units sold in June was achieved despite significant constraints on inventory. We ended the quarter with 16,479 website units available, and the number of vehicles available for immediate purchase by customers (excluding purchase pending or work-in-process vehicles) was 5,914, our lowest level since Q3 2018.

Our current low inventory levels are driven by several factors related to COVID-19. First, we are seeing record demand at the top of the funnel as customers nationwide increasingly seek to buy cars online. Second, early in the pandemic we paused purchasing and production to limit risk, leading to lower inventory today. Third, the spread of COVID in regions where we have IRCs has led to a temporary reduction in production throughput and lower than normalized hiring rates.

Record demand for our offering combined with production capacity constraints has led inventory efficiency, which we define as the ratio between quarterly retail units sold (or 3x monthly retail units sold for monthly data) and average website units available, to be significantly higher than any prior point in our history. While on the one hand this demonstrates our ability to turn cars extremely quickly – a noticeable positive for the long-term model – on the other we believe our current inventory is meaningfully limiting sales, making growing inventory our top company priority.

We are taking several steps to increase inventory in the near-term. We are actively hiring to staff our existing IRCs and have mobilized our recruiting and training teams to support this effort. In addition, as described in the expansion section, we recently launched our ninth IRC, are on track to open two additional IRCs by year-end, and have a robust pipeline of IRCs beyond that.

Buying Cars from Customers
We remain focused on buying more cars from our customers and are excited about further simplifying the automotive value chain and diversifying our inventory. In Q2 2020, we acquired 20.3K vehicles from customers, 37% as many cars as we sold, down from 52% a year ago as a result of our decision to temporarily pause standalone vehicles purchases from customers in March and April due to uncertainty surrounding COVID-19.

After resuming these purchases from customers near the end of April, we rapidly accelerated the number of cars we bought from customers. This strength continued into July, when we bought more than 100% as many cars from customers as we sold to them, hitting an exciting milestone we’ve been building toward since launching our buying cars from customers offering.

pic811.jpg
Objective #2: Increase Total Gross Profit Per Unit
Total GPU showed resilience in Q2 and improved from Q1 levels despite the impact from COVID-19. The sequential growth in GPU was driven primarily by strength in Finance GPU and Wholesale GPU.

For Q2 2020:
Total
Total GPU was $2,726 vs. $3,132 in Q2 2019 and $2,640 in Q1 2020 3
Retail
Retail GPU was $1,190 vs. $1,440 in Q2 2019 and $1,581 in Q1 2020 3
Year-over-year changes in retail vehicle GPU were primarily driven by higher average days to sale partially offset by strength in customer-sourced vehicles. Sequential changes were primarily driven by higher average days to sale and higher average retail write-downs on vehicles acquired prior to COVID-19 that were sold after the start of the pandemic. The sale of pre-COVID vehicles early in the quarter combined with the subsequent purchase and sale of post-COVID vehicles later in the quarter led to a V-shaped pattern of retail GPU. Retail GPU reached a low in May before rebounding in June as higher margin post-COVID acquisitions reached the website.
Wholesale
Wholesale GPU was $137 vs. $159 in Q2 2019 and $23 in Q1 2020 3
Year-over-year changes in wholesale GPU were driven by reduced wholesale volume offset by record gross profit per wholesale unit sold of $1,036 (or $695 excluding the impact of our wholesale valuation adjustment in Q1), an increase from $650 in Q2 2019. Reduced wholesale volume was primarily due to our temporary pause in acquiring cars from customers in March and April, while gross profit per wholesale unit was primarily driven by the rapid increase in wholesale market prices in May and June.
Other
Other GPU was $1,399 vs. $1,532 in Q2 2019 and $1,036 in Q1 2020
Year-over-year changes in Other GPU were driven by lower finance GPU and partially offset by increased attachment of VSC. Total finance GPU was $865 in Q2 compared to $1,100 in Q2 2019 and $528 in Q1 2020. The YoY decrease was primarily due to a shift toward more stable loan monetization channels during this period of heightened uncertainty, while the sequential gain was primarily due to improved market conditions and credit tightening at the onset of the pandemic.

3 Total GPU includes a $0, $43, and $10 impact in Q2 2020, Q2 2019, and Q1 2020, respectively, from the 100k Milestone Gift. This includes a $0, $42, and $10 impact, respectively, in retail GPU, and a $0, $1, and $0 impact, respectively, in wholesale GPU.

*2018, 2019, Q1 2020, and Q2 2020 include a $43, $31, $10, and $0 impact from the 100k Milestone Gift, respectively.

Objective #3: Demonstrate Operating Leverage
Following the spread of COVID-19, we took decisive action to pause corporate hiring and adjusted hours for operational employees to more closely align with current demand rather than positioning the business for future demand to the extent we historically have. These actions and a rebound in retail sales led to significant sequential improvements in SG&A throughout the quarter.

In total, we sold 2,671 more retail units in Q2 than Q1, while reducing total SG&A spend by approximately $36 million. This led SG&A as a percent of revenue to decline by 3.7% or $904 per retail unit from Q1 2020. We also demonstrated strong trends on operating leverage within the quarter as sales grew. From April to June, retail units sold increased from 13,548 to 20,627, while SG&A expenses declined by $1,398 per unit, evidencing our ability to flexibly respond to demand in a dynamic environment.

Summary
The first half of this year has been unlike anything we have ever lived through. It has tested us in ways that we couldn’t have prepared for. The customer experience we deliver and our results demonstrate how well our team came together during this unprecedented time.

We have emerged from the first half of 2020 even stronger than we entered it. We believe that additional strength is coming from two sources: The first is the powerful reality that buying a car online has suddenly become normalized. That’s a really big deal.

The second source of strength probably won’t get as many headlines but it might be even more powerful. Our team has been battle-tested. We fought uncertainty together. We learned more about one another in that battle and we now share even stronger bonds.

We are on a mission to change the way people buy cars.

We remain focused on the long term. We remain energized and ambitious. And we are still just getting started.

Sincerely,

Ernie Garcia, III, Chairman and CEO

Mark Jenkins, CFO

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

As appropriate, we supplement our results of operations determined in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) with certain non-GAAP financial measurements that are used by management, and which we believe are useful to investors, as supplemental operational measurements to evaluate our financial performance. These measurements should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for reported GAAP results because they may include or exclude certain items as compared to similar GAAP-based measurements, and such measurements may not be comparable to similarly-titled measurements reported by other companies. Rather, these measurements should be considered as an additional way of viewing aspects of our operations that provide a more complete understanding of our business. We strongly encourage investors to review our consolidated financial statements included in publicly filed reports in their entirety and not rely solely on any one, single financial measurement or communication.

Reconciliations of our non-GAAP measurements to their most directly comparable GAAP-based financial measurements are included at the end of this letter.

OUTSTANDING SHARES AND LLC UNITS
(Unaudited)

LLC Units (adjusted for the exchange ratio and participation thresholds) are considered potentially dilutive shares of Class A common stock because they are exchangeable into shares of Class A common stock, if the Company elects not to settle exchanges in cash. Weighted-average shares of Class A common stock and as-exchanged LLC Units, which were evaluated for potentially dilutive effects and were determined to be anti-dilutive, are as follows:

RECONCILIATION OF GAAP TO NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
(Unaudited)

In prior periods we calculated non-GAAP measures including Gross Profit ex-Gift, Gross Profit per Unit ex-Gift, EBITDA ex-Gift, EBITDA Margin ex-Gift, Adjusted Net Loss and Adjusted Net Loss per Share, to exclude the impact of the 100k Milestone Gift program. As this program has concluded it is not material to current or future years and the adjustment is no longer included within similar calculations. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, there was approximately $0.0 million and $0.5 million, respectively, of stock based compensation related to the 100k Milestone Gift program within cost of sales, which would impact all measures. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, there was approximately $3.3 million and $6.3 million, respectively, of stock based compensation related to the 100k Milestone Gift program impacting the calculation of EBITDA ex-Gift, EBITDA Margin ex-Gift, Adjusted Net Loss, and Adjusted Net Loss per Share, including approximately $1.9 million and $2.7 million, respectively, within cost of sales impacting the calculation of Gross Profit ex-Gift and Gross Profit per Unit ex-Gift.

EBITDA and EBITDA Margin

EBITDA and 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 GAAP. EBITDA is defined as net loss before interest expense, income tax expense, and depreciation and amortization expense. EBITDA Margin is EBITDA as a percentage of total revenues. We use EBITDA to measure the operating performance of our business and EBITDA Margin to measure our operating performance relative to our total revenues. We believe that EBITDA and EBITDA Margin 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 may not be comparable to similarly titled measures provided by other companies due to potential differences in methods of calculations. A reconciliation of EBITDA to net loss is the most directly comparable GAAP measure, and calculation of EBITDA Margin is as follows (dollars in thousands):
