  • $64.2 million consolidated total available liquidity(2) as of September 30, 2026, consisting of:
    • $33.0 million cash and cash equivalents 
    • $4.2 million liquidity available to UACC under the warehouse credit facilities
    • $27.0 million available liquidity from delayed draw facility

  • $16.9 million year-over-year improvement in net loss for the third quarter 2026, primarily driven by lower mark to market losses due to our rebuilt internal customer scoring model. $10.4 million quarter over quarter increase in net loss, primarily driven by higher mark to market losses due to seasonality, rising interest rates and higher lifetime loss expectations on our legacy vintages underwritten prior to the implementation of our rebuilt internal customer scoring model in September 2025.
  • $460 to $485 million updated full year indirect origination volume guidance and $30 to $35 million updated full year adjusted net loss(5) guidance to reflect third quarter results.
(1) Tangible book value is a non-GAAP measure and represents total stockholders’ equity of $91.1 million, excluding intangible assets of $10.9 million as of September 30, 2026.
(2) Total available liquidity is a non-GAAP measure and represents $33.0 million of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents, as well as $4.2 million of availability from warehouse credit facilities, and $27.0 million of availability from delayed draw facility.
(3) Adjusted net income (loss) is a non-GAAP measure. For definitions and a reconciliation to the most comparable GAAP measure, please see Non-GAAP Financial Measures section below.
(4) Adjusted net income (loss) for the trailing twelve months ended September 30, 2026 and trailing twelve months ended September 30, 2025 are non-GAAP measures, and trailing twelve months ended September 30, 2025 includes non-GAAP combined results for the three months ended March 31, 2025.  For a definition and reconciliation to the most comparable GAAP measure, please see Non-GAAP Financial Measures section below.
(5) A reconciliation of non-GAAP guidance measures to corresponding GAAP measures for the full year 2026 Financial Outlook is not available on a forward-looking basis without unreasonable effort due to the uncertainty regarding, and the potential variability of, the costs and expenses that may be incurred in the future the amounts of which may be material. We have provided a reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures for historical periods in the reconciliation table in the Non-GAAP Financial Measures below.
   

Tom Shortt, Chief Executive Officer of Vroom, said, “In the third quarter of 2026, adjusted net loss improved significantly year-over-year as we continue to see the benefits of our rebuilt internal customer scoring model, which was implemented in September 2025. We also continue to make significant investments in our Next-Generation Technology Platform and we are pleased with the rollout of our Next-Generation FastLane dealer portal.”

Jon Sandison, Chief Financial Officer of Vroom, added, “During the third quarter, we further strengthened our balance sheet by issuing preferred stock units in our subsidiary, Vroom Automotive, for aggregate gross proceeds of $20 million. We ended the quarter with total available liquidity of $64.2 million, and remain focused on disciplined expense management. On October 15, 2026, we completed our 19th securitization transaction, issuing approximately $234.2 million aggregate principal amount of fixed rate asset-backed securities.”

Fresh Start Accounting

As a result of emerging from a voluntary proceeding (the “Prepackaged Chapter 11 Case”) under Chapter 11 of the United States Code, 11 U.S.C. §§ 101-1532, as amended from time to time, on January 14, 2025, (the “Effective Date”) and qualifying for the application of fresh-start accounting, at the Effective Date, Vroom’s assets and liabilities were recorded at their estimated fair values which, in some cases, are significantly different than amounts included in our financial statements prior to the Effective Date. Accordingly, our consolidated financial statements after the Effective Date are not comparable with our consolidated financial statements on or before that date. References to “Successor” relate to our financial position and results of operations after the Effective Date. References to “Predecessor” refer to our financial position and results of operations on or before the Effective Date.

The combined results (referenced as “Non-GAAP Combined” or “Combined”) for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, represent the sum of the reported amounts for the Predecessor period from January 1, 2025, through January 14, 2025, and the Successor period from January 15, 2025, through September 30, 2025. These combined results are not considered to be prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and have not been prepared as pro forma results per applicable regulations. The combined operating results do not reflect the actual results we would have achieved absent our emergence from the Prepackaged Chapter 11 Case and are not necessarily indicative of future results. Accordingly, the results for the combined nine months ended September 30, 2025, (prepared on a Non-GAAP basis) and nine months ended September 30, 2026, (prepared on a GAAP basis) may not be comparable, particularly for statement of operations line items significantly impacted by the reorganization transactions and the impact of fresh start accounting.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to our results determined in accordance with GAAP, we believe Adjusted net income (loss) is useful in evaluating our operating performance, total available liquidity is useful in evaluating our liquidity position, and tangible book value is useful in evaluating our capital position excluding intangible assets.

Adjusted net income (loss) is a supplemental performance measure that our management uses to assess our operating performance and the operating leverage in our business. Because Adjusted net income (loss) facilitates internal comparisons of our historical operating performance on a more consistent basis, we use this measure for business planning purposes.

Tangible book value is calculated as stockholders’ equity in accordance with GAAP, after subtracting intangible assets. A reconciliation of stockholders’ equity to tangible book value is included above.

Total available liquidity represents unrestricted cash and cash equivalents, availability from warehouse credit facilities, and available liquidity from the delayed draw facility. A reconciliation of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents to total available liquidity is included above.

These non-GAAP measures have limitations as analytical tools because they do not reflect all of the amounts associated with our results of operations or liquidity as determined in accordance with GAAP. Additionally, they may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. Other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate non-GAAP financial measures differently than we do, limiting the usefulness of those measures for those comparative purposes. Because of these limitations, these non-GAAP financial measures should be considered along with other operating and financial performance measures presented in accordance with GAAP. The presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. We have reconciled these non-GAAP financial measures with the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures elsewhere herein.

Non-GAAP Combined Nine Months Ended September 30, 2025

Our financial results for the periods from January 1, 2025 through January 14, 2025 are referred to as those of the “Predecessor” periods. Our financial results for the periods from January 15, 2025 and thereafter are referred to as those of the “Successor” periods. Our results of operations as reported in our Consolidated Financial Statements for these periods are prepared in accordance with GAAP. Although GAAP requires that we report our results for the period from January 1, 2025 through January 14, 2025 and the period from January 15, 2025 through September 30, 2025, separately, management views our operating results for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 by combining the results of the applicable Predecessor and Successor periods because such presentation provides the most meaningful comparison of our results to prior periods. We believe we cannot adequately benchmark the operating results of the period from January 15, 2025 through September 30, 2025 against any of the previous or future periods reported in our Consolidated Financial Statements without combining it with the period from January 1, 2025 through January 14, 2025 and we do not believe that reviewing the results of this period in isolation would be useful in identifying trends in or reaching conclusions regarding our overall operating performance. Management believes that the key performance metrics for the Successor period when combined with the Predecessor period provide more meaningful comparisons to other periods and are useful in identifying current business trends. Accordingly, in addition to presenting our results of operations as reported in our Consolidated Financial Statements in accordance with GAAP, the tables and discussion below also present the combined results for the nine months ended September 30, 2025. The combined results for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 represent the sum of the reported amounts for the Predecessor period from January 1, 2025 through January 14, 2025 and the Successor period from January 15, 2025 through September 30, 2025. These combined results are not considered to be prepared in accordance with GAAP and have not been prepared as pro forma results per applicable regulations. The combined operating results do not reflect the actual results we would have achieved absent our emergence from the Prepackaged Chapter 11 Case and are not necessarily indicative of future results. Accordingly, the results for the combined nine months ended September 30, 2026 (prepared on a GAAP basis) and nine months ended September 30, 2025 (prepared on a Non-GAAP basis) may not be comparable, particularly for statement of operations line items significantly impacted by the reorganization transactions and the impact of fresh start accounting.

Adjusted net income (loss)

We calculate Adjusted net income (loss) as net income (loss) from continuing operations less preferred stock dividends attributable to noncontrolling interests of subsidiary, adjusted for stock compensation expense, severance expense, bankruptcy costs (which represent professional fees incurred related to the bankruptcy prior to filing of the petition and post-emergence), reorganization items, net (which relate to certain charges incurred during the bankruptcy proceedings, such as legal and professional fees incurred directly as a result of the bankruptcy proceeding, the write-off of deferred financing costs and discount on debt subject to compromise and other related charges), operating lease right-of-use assets impairment and long-lived asset impairment charges.
