Key takeaways

What improved, and what deserves a closer read.

Risks & pressure points

  • Q4 GAAP net loss was $20M and full-year GAAP net loss was $66M; guidance points to a continued full-year 2026 GAAP net loss of $50M–$54M.
  • Marketplace GMV grew only 2% in Q4 to $2.3B, and full-year marketplace GMV grew just 9% to $10.4B, a notable deceleration versus the 19% revenue growth.
  • Q4 non-GAAP net loss was $1M, flat versus a $1M loss in Q4 2024.
  • Management called out challenging market conditions in Q4, and Q1 2026 guidance for adjusted EBITDA of $14M–$16M implies a sequential step-up is needed to reach the full-year $73M–$77M range.
  • 2026 guidance assumes 'normal seasonal patterns' for conversion rates and wholesale price depreciation, exposing the outlook to used-vehicle pricing volatility.
  • Capital growth was driven in part by actively lowering exposure to higher-risk customer segments, signaling risk discipline that may cap near-term volume expansion.
