Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, operating adjusted net income (loss) and operating adjusted net income (loss) per share as presented herein are supplemental measures of our performance that are not required by, or presented in accordance with, generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”). They are not measurements of our financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as substitutes for net income (loss) or any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP. Management believes that these measures provide investors additional meaningful methods to evaluate certain aspects of the company’s results period over period and for the other reasons set forth below.
EBITDA is defined as net income (loss), plus interest expense net of interest income, income tax provision (benefit), depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is EBITDA adjusted for the items of income and expense and expected incremental revenue and cost savings as described in our senior secured credit agreement covenant calculations. Management believes that the inclusion of supplementary adjustments to EBITDA applied in presenting Adjusted EBITDA is appropriate to provide additional information to investors about one of the principal measures of performance used by our creditors. In addition, management uses EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to evaluate our performance.
Depreciation expense for property and equipment and amortization expense of capitalized internally developed software costs relate to ongoing capital expenditures; however, amortization expense associated with acquired intangible assets, such as customer relationships, software, tradenames and noncompete agreements are not representative of ongoing capital expenditures, but have a continuing effect on our reported results. Non-GAAP financial measures of operating adjusted net income (loss) and operating adjusted net income (loss) per share, in the opinion of the company, provide comparability of the company's performance to other companies that may not have incurred these types of non-cash expenses or that report a similar measure. In addition, operating adjusted net income (loss) and operating adjusted net income (loss) per share may include adjustments for certain other charges.
EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, operating adjusted net income (loss) and operating adjusted net income (loss) per share 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.

Overview of KAR Results for the Three Months Ended September 30, 2022 and 2021
Discontinued Operations
The financial performance of the ADESA U.S. physical auction business is presented as discontinued operations. As a result, revenue, cost of services and all costs of discontinued operations (including the gain on sale) are presented as one line item in the above table as "Income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of income taxes."
Overview
For the three months ended September 30, 2022, we had revenue of $393.0 million compared with revenue of $347.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021, an increase of 13%. Businesses acquired in the last 12 months accounted for an increase in revenue of $15.2 million or 4% of revenue. For a further discussion of revenues, gross profit and selling, general and administrative expenses, see the segment results discussions below.
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation and amortization decreased $3.1 million, or 11%, to $24.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022, compared with $27.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021. The decrease in depreciation and amortization was primarily the result of assets that have become fully depreciated and a reduction in assets placed in service.
Interest Expense
Interest expense increased $0.4 million, or 1%, to $32.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022, compared with $31.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021. The increase was attributable to an increase in the average balance on the AFC securitization obligations and an increase in the average interest rate on the AFC securitization obligations to approximately 4.7% for the three months ended September 30, 2022, as compared with approximately 2.5% for the three months ended September 30, 2021. This was partially offset by a decrease in interest expense resulting from the prepayment of Term Loan B-6 and $600 million of the senior notes.
Other (Income) Expense, Net
For the three months ended September 30, 2022, we had other expense of $1.2 million compared with $13.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021. The decrease in other expense was primarily attributable to a decrease in unrealized losses on investment securities of approximately $20.6 million, a decrease in contingent consideration valuation adjustments of $4.4 million and an increase in other miscellaneous income aggregating $1.7 million, partially offset by a reduction in realized gains of approximately $10.0 million and an increase in foreign currency losses of $4.0 million.
The Company invests in certain early-stage automotive companies and funds that relate to the automotive industry. We believe these investments have resulted in the expansion of relationships in the vehicle remarketing industry. There were no realized gains on these investments for the three months ended September 30, 2022. The Company had unrealized losses of $0.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022. Any future changes in the fair value of these investment securities will be reflected as unrealized gains or losses until these securities are sold.
Income Taxes
We had an effective tax rate of 93.1% for the three months ended September 30, 2022, compared with an effective tax rate of -62.0% resulting in expense on a pre-tax loss for the three months ended September 30, 2021. The effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2022 was unfavorably impacted by the change in the effective tax rate estimate for the year, driven by anticipated capital transactions that drove a decrease in the tax rate applicable to our international tax operations. The effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2021 was unfavorably impacted by the expense for the increase in the estimated value of contingent consideration for which no tax benefit has been recorded.
Income from Discontinued Operations
In May 2022, Carvana acquired the ADESA U.S. physical auction business from KAR. As such, the financial results of the ADESA U.S. physical auction business have been accounted for as discontinued operations for all periods presented. For the three months ended September 30, 2022, the Company's financial statements included a loss from discontinued operations of $6.3 million. For the three months ended September 30, 2021, the Company's financial statements included income from discontinued operations of $25.9 million.
Impact of Foreign Currency
For the three months ended September 30, 2022 compared with the three months ended September 30, 2021, the change in the euro exchange rate decreased revenue by $8.4 million, operating profit by $0.3 million and net income by $0.3 million. For the three months ended September 30, 2022 compared with the three months ended September 30, 2021, the change in the Canadian exchange rate decreased revenue by $2.8 million, operating profit by $0.7 million and net income by $0.5 million.
Overview of KAR Results for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2022 and 2021
Discontinued Operations
The financial performance of the ADESA U.S. physical auction business is presented as discontinued operations. As a result, revenue, cost of services and all costs of discontinued operations (including the gain on sale) are presented as one line item in the above table as "Income from discontinued operations, net of income taxes."
Overview
For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, we had revenue of $1,146.6 million compared with revenue of $1,092.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, an increase of 5%. Businesses acquired in the last 12 months accounted for an increase in revenue of $49.8 million or 4% of revenue. For a further discussion of revenues, gross profit and selling, general and administrative expenses, see the segment results discussions below.
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation and amortization decreased $5.5 million, or 7%, to $76.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, compared with $81.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The decrease in depreciation and amortization was primarily the result of assets that have become fully depreciated and a reduction in assets placed in service.
Interest Expense
Interest expense decreased $9.9 million, or 11%, to $83.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, compared with $93.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The decrease was primarily attributable to a realized gain of $16.7 million related to the discontinuance of hedge accounting and termination of the interest rate swaps, as well as the prepayment of Term Loan B-6 and prepayment of $600 million of senior notes, partially offset by an increase in AFC interest. The average balance on the AFC securitization obligations increased and the average interest rate on the AFC securitization obligations increased to approximately 3.4% for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, as compared with approximately 2.4% for the nine months ended September 30, 2021.
Other (Income) Expense, Net
For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, we had other expense of $6.4 million compared with other income of $20.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The increase in other expense was primarily attributable to unrealized losses on investment securities of approximately $6.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, compared with unrealized gains on investment securities of approximately $10.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, as well as a reduction in realized gains of approximately $27.2 million and an increase in foreign currency losses of $5.9 million, partially offset by a decrease in contingent consideration valuation adjustments of $20.1 million and a decrease in other miscellaneous items aggregating $3.3 million.
The Company invests in certain early-stage automotive companies and funds that relate to the automotive industry. We believe these investments have resulted in the expansion of relationships in the vehicle remarketing industry. There were no realized gains on these investments for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The Company had unrealized losses of $6.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. Any future changes in the fair value of these investment securities will be reflected as unrealized gains or losses until these securities are sold.
Income Taxes
We had an effective tax rate of 37.3% resulting in a benefit on a pre-tax loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, compared with an effective tax rate of 175.5% for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was favorably impacted by the state rate change impact on deferred taxes. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was unfavorably impacted by the expense for the increase in the estimated value of contingent consideration for which no tax benefit has been recorded.
Income from Discontinued Operations
In May 2022, Carvana acquired the ADESA U.S. physical auction business from KAR.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company's financial statements included income from discontinued operations of $217.4 million and $77.4 million, respectively.
Impact of Foreign Currency
For the nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared with the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the change in the euro exchange rate decreased revenue by $18.1 million, operating profit by $0.6 million and net income by $0.3 million. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared with the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the change in the Canadian exchange rate decreased revenue by $6.3 million, operating profit by $1.6 million and net income by $1.1 million.

Overview of Marketplace Results for the Three Months Ended September 30, 2022 and 2021
Revenue
Revenue from the Marketplace segment increased $22.4 million, or 8%, to $293.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022, compared with $271.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021. The increase in revenue was the result of an increase in average revenue per vehicle sold, partially offset by a decrease in the number of vehicles sold. Businesses acquired in the last 12 months accounted for an increase in revenue of $15.2 million. The change in revenue included the impact of decreases in revenue of $8.4 million and $2.4 million due to fluctuations in the euro exchange rate and the Canadian exchange rate, respectively.
On-premise marketplace sales are initiated online for vehicles at any of our locations across Canada and include ADESA Simulcast, Simulcast+ and DealerBlock sales. Off-premise marketplace sales are initiated online and include Openlane, BacklotCars, CARWAVE, TradeRev and ADESA Europe sales. The 12% decrease in the number of vehicles sold was comprised of a 17% decline in commercial volumes and a 6% decrease in dealer consignment volumes.
Auction fees per vehicle sold for the three months ended September 30, 2022 increased $31, or 12%, reflecting higher vehicle values, the introduction of new dealer off-premise auction fees and a smaller mix of lower-fee commercial off-premise vehicles.
Service revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2022 increased $31.0 million, or 24%, primarily as a result of an increase in transportation revenue, repossession fees and platform fees provided by third-parties, partially offset by a decrease in inspection service revenue resulting from the decrease in commercial vehicles sold.
Gross Profit
For the three months ended September 30, 2022, gross profit for the Marketplace segment increased $0.9 million, or 1%, to $100.5 million, compared with $99.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021. Gross profit for the Marketplace segment was 34.2% of revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2022, compared with 36.7% of revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2021. Excluding purchased vehicle sales, gross
profit as a percentage of revenue was 40.5% and 45.7% for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The entire selling and purchase price of the vehicle is recorded as revenue and cost of services for purchased vehicles sold. Businesses acquired in the last 12 months accounted for an increase in cost of services of $9.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022.
Gross profit as a percentage of revenue decreased for the three months ended September 30, 2022 as compared with the three months ended September 30, 2021, primarily due to an increase in lower margin transportation revenue and an increase in arbitration costs for vehicles sold on dealer-to-dealer platforms, as well as a decrease in on-premise auction revenue in Canada without a corresponding decrease in direct costs.
Selling, General and Administrative
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the Marketplace segment increased $0.6 million, or 1%, to $96.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022, compared with $96.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021, primarily as a result of increases in selling, general and administrative expenses associated with acquisitions of $4.1 million, information technology costs of $2.0 million, professional fees of $1.9 million and incentive-based compensation of $1.7 million, partially offset by decreases in compensation expense of $2.4 million, medical expenses of $1.9 million, fluctuations in the Canadian exchange rate of $0.7 million and reductions in other miscellaneous expenses aggregating $4.1 million.

Revenue
Revenue from the Marketplace segment decreased $11.5 million, or 1%, to $871.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, compared with $882.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021.

The change in revenue included the impact of decreases in revenue of $18.1 million and $5.6 million due to fluctuations in the euro exchange rate and the Canadian exchange rate, respectively.

Off-premise marketplace sales are initiated online and include Openlane, BacklotCars, CARWAVE, TradeRev and ADESA Europe sales. The 20% decrease in the number of vehicles sold was comprised of a 35% decline in commercial volumes, partially offset by a 6% increase in dealer consignment volumes.
Auction fees per vehicle sold for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 increased $50, or 21%, reflecting higher vehicle values, the introduction of new dealer off-premise auction fees and a smaller mix of lower-fee commercial off-premise vehicles.
Service revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 increased $28.5 million, or 7%, primarily as a result of an increase in repossession fees, platform fees provided by third-parties and transportation revenue, partially offset by a decrease in inspection service revenue resulting from the decrease in commercial vehicles sold.

Gross profit as a percentage of revenue decreased for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 as compared with the nine months ended September 30, 2021, primarily due to an increase in arbitration costs for vehicles sold on dealer-to-dealer platforms, an increase in lower margin transportation revenue, as well as a decrease in on-premise auction revenue in Canada without a corresponding decrease in direct costs. In addition, there were no benefits taken under the Canada Emergency Wage Subsidy in the first nine months of 2022, resulting in a reduction to gross profit as a percentage of revenue.
Selling, General and Administrative
