Item 7.01 | Regulation FD Disclosure |
On March 22, 2023, Carvana Co. (“the Company”) announced the launch of offers to eligible holders of its 5.625% Senior Notes due 2025 (the “2025 Notes”); 5.500% Senior Notes due 2027 (the “2027 Notes”); 5.875% Senior Notes due 2028 (the “2028 Notes”); 4.875% Senior Notes due 2029 (the “2029 Notes”); and 10.250% Senior Notes due 2030 (the “2030 Notes”, and together with the 2025 Notes, the 2027 Notes, the 2028 Notes and the 2029 Notes, the “Existing Notes”) to exchange (the “Exchange Offers”) any and all of their Existing Notes for up to an aggregate principal amount of $1,000,000,000 (subject to increase or decrease by the Company) of new 9.0%/12.0% Cash/PIK Toggle Senior Secured Second Lien Notes due 2028. Eligible holders received an exchange offer memorandum (the “Exchange Offer Memorandum”), which contains certain estimated unaudited results for the three months ending March 31, 2023. Such estimated unaudited results are furnished under the heading “Expected Unaudited Results” in the excerpt from the Exchange Offer Memorandum furnished hereto as Exhibit 99.1.
The estimated unaudited results for the three months ending March 31, 2023 reflect the Company’s preliminary estimates with respect to such results based on currently available information, are not a comprehensive statement of its financial results and are subject to completion of its financial closing procedures. The Company’s financial closing procedures for the three months ending March 31, 2023 are not yet complete and, as a result, its actual results may differ materially from these estimates. The preliminary estimates have been prepared by, and are the responsibility of, management. Grant Thornton LLP, the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, has not audited, reviewed, compiled or performed any procedures with respect to the estimated preliminary financial information. Accordingly, Grant Thornton LLP does not express an opinion or any other form of assurance with respect thereto. The estimated unaudited results should not be viewed as a substitute for the Company’s full interim or annual financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Further, the estimated unaudited results for the three months ending March 31, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected in any future period as a result of various factors.
The information in this Item 7.01, including Exhibit 99.1, shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or incorporated by reference in any filing of the Company under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, whether made before or after the date of this report, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.
Item 8.01 | Other Events |
On March 22, 2023, the Company issued a press release announcing the commencement of the Exchange Offers. A copy of this press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.2, and the information contained therein is incorporated herein by reference.

Exhibit 99.1
Expected Unaudited Results
Our fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2023 has not yet been completed. We will not finalize our operating results for the three months ending March 31, 2023 until after the quarter has ended, and our consolidated statements of operations and related notes as of and for the three months ending March 31, 2023 are not expected to be available until after this offering is completed. Set forth below are certain forecasted estimates of our operating results for the three months ending March 31, 2023 compared to our actual operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2022, which estimates are based on information available to our management as of the date hereof. We have prepared these forecasted estimates in good faith based upon our internal reporting. These estimates are preliminary and unaudited, inherently uncertain and subject to change as we complete our financial statements as of and for the three months ending March 31, 2023. These forecasted estimates are not guarantees of actual performance, and are not guarantees of, or indicative of, future performance. Given the timing of these forecasted estimates, we have not completed our customary financial closing and review procedures, including full income tax calculations and managements review of the results. We may ultimately identify items that would require us to make adjustments to our forecasted estimates of our operating results set forth below during our financial statement preparation process, including, but not limited to, inventory valuation adjustments and profits or losses on interest rate hedges that arise before the end of the quarter, and such adjustments may be material. You should exercise caution in relying on these forecasted estimates and should not place undue reliance on this information or draw any inferences from this information regarding financial or operating data not yet provided or available for the quarter or any future periods. Important factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from our expectations are disclosed under the sections entitled Risk Factors and Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, which are incorporated by reference herein.
The forecasted financial data included below has been prepared by, and is the responsibility of, our management. Our independent auditors have not audited, reviewed, compiled or performed any procedures with respect to such forecasted financial data. Accordingly, our independent auditors express no opinion or any other form of assurance with respect thereto. These forecasted operating results are not a comprehensive statement of our financial results as of and for the three months ending March 31, 2023, and should not be viewed as a substitute for full consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP). Reconciliations of our historical non-GAAP measurements to their most directly comparable GAAP-based financial measurements are included below. The Company is not able to provide a reconciliation of forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures because the Company has not yet completed its financial closing procedures for the three months ending March 31, 2023 and is not able to provide a meaningful or accurate reconciliation or estimation of restructuring expenses and other income (expense), net, without unreasonable effort, due to the inherent difficulty in forecasting the timing of, and quantifying, such measures. We will provide a full GAAP reconciliation of final Adjusted EBITDA, gross profit, non-GAAP and SG&A, non-GAAP when we report our full financial results for the three months ending March 31, 2023. We expect such full GAAP reconciliation to be consistent with the reconciliations of our historical non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP-based financial measurements.
We are providing the following forecasted estimates of our operating results for the three months ending March 31, 2023:
| For the three months ending March 31, 2023, we expect retail units sold to be between 76,000 and 79,000 units, compared to 105,185 retail units sold for the three months ended March 31, 2022. This reduction in retail units sold is primarily driven by higher interest rates, lower inventory size, lower advertising expense, and our focus on profitability initiatives. |
| For the three months ending March 31, 2023, we expect total net sales and operating revenues to be between $2.4 billion and $2.6 billion, compared to total net sales and operating revenues of $3.5 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The decrease in total net sales and operating revenues is primarily driven by the reduction in retail units sold. |
| For the three months ending March 31, 2023, we expect gross profit, non-GAAP to be between $310 million and $350 million, compared to gross profit, non-GAAP of $314 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The change in gross profit, non-GAAP is primarily driven by higher total gross profit per retail unit sold offset by lower retail units sold. |
| For the three months ending March 31, 2023, we expect total gross profit per unit, non-GAAP to be between $4,100 and $4,400, compared to total gross profit per unit, non-GAAP of $2,985 for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The increase in total gross profit per unit is due to higher retail gross profit per unit, primarily driven by the benefit of a lower inventory allowance adjustment, higher wholesale gross profit, primarily driven by strong wholesale market demand and price appreciation, and higher other gross profit, primarily driven by higher finance receivable, principal sold. |
| While we sold more finance receivables in the three months ending March 31, 2023 than in the three months ended December 31, 2022, we expect to end the first quarter with approximately $1.6 billion in finance receivables on our balance sheet, an increase from approximately $1.3 billion on December 31, 2022. We intend to increase our pace of selling finance receivables when capital markets stabilize. |
| For the three months ending March 31, 2023, we expect SG&A, non-GAAP to be between $400 million and $440 million, which excludes approximately $55 million of depreciation and amortization expense and $15 million of share-based compensation expense, compared to SG&A, non-GAAP of $662 million, which excludes $37 million of depreciation and amortization expense and $28 million of share-based compensation expense, for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The reduction in SG&A, non-GAAP is primarily driven by our continued focus on operating efficiency and reduced advertising spend. |
| For the three months ending March 31, 2023, we expect Adjusted EBITDA to be between $(50) million and $(100) million, compared to Adjusted EBITDA of $(348) million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The improvement in Adjusted EBITDA is primarily driven by reduced selling, general, and administrative expenses and higher total gross profit per unit, partially offset by lower retail units sold. |

(1) Adjusted EBITDA, gross profit, non-GAAP, and SG&A, non-GAAP are supplemental measures of operating performance that do not represent and should not be considered as alternatives to net (loss) income, gross profit or SG&A as determined by GAAP.
(2) Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net loss plus income tax expense, interest expense, other (income) expense, net, depreciation and amortization in cost of sales and SG&A, goodwill impairment, share-based compensation, including the CEO Milestone Gift (as defined in the Companys most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K) in cost of sales and SG&A, and restructuring costs, minus revenue related to our Root, Inc. warrants. Following the acquisition of the U.S. physical auction business of ADESA, Inc. and other ancillary transactions, we are also excluding depreciation and amortization in cost of sales, which was historically only a small component of cost of sales.
(3) Gross profit, non-GAAP is defined as GAAP gross profit plus depreciation and amortization in cost of sales, share-based compensation including the CEO Milestone Gift in cost of sales, and restructuring costs, minus revenue related to our Root, Inc. warrants.
(4) SG&A, non-GAAP is defined as GAAP SG&A minus depreciation and amortization in SG&A, share-based compensation, including the CEO Milestone Gift in SG&A, and restructuring costs.

News Release
Carvana Co. Announces Private Exchange Offers Relating to Existing Notes
PHOENIX - March 22, 2023 - Carvana Co. (NYSE: CVNA) (Carvana or the Company), the leading e-commerce platform for buying and selling used cars, announced today that it is offering noteholders the option to exchange their unsecured notes at a premium to current trading prices and receive new secured notes that would provide exchanging noteholders with collateral while reducing Carvanas cash interest expense and maintaining significant flexibility for the Company.
Specifically, Carvana announced that it has commenced exchange offers (the Exchange Offers) to exchange its outstanding existing notes listed below (the Existing Notes) for up to an aggregate principal amount of $1,000,000,000 (subject to increase or decrease by the Company, the Maximum Amount) of new 9.0%/12.0% Cash/PIK Toggle Senior Secured Second Lien Notes due 2028 (the New Secured Notes) issued by the Company, pursuant to the terms and conditions described in an Exchange Offer Memorandum, dated March 22, 2023 (the Exchange Offer Memorandum), including a condition that a minimum of $500,000,000 aggregate principal amount of Existing Notes be validly tendered and not withdrawn in the Exchange Offers (the Minimum Participation Condition).
The New Secured Notes will be fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a senior basis, jointly and severally, by Carvana Group, LLC, Carvana, LLC, Carvana Co. Sub LLC, Carvana Operations HC LLC and Carvana FAC, LLC (collectively, the Guarantors). With the exception of Carvana FAC, LLC (FinCo), all of the Guarantors are the same entities that guarantee the Existing Notes. FinCo will become a guarantor under the Existing Notes concurrently with the consummation of the Exchange Offers.
Prior to the commencement of the Exchange Offers, the Company designated ADESA US Auction, LLC (ADESA US) as an unrestricted subsidiary under the indentures governing the Existing Notes. As a result, ADESA US and all of the subsidiaries of ADESA US, which comprise the Companys ADESA U.S. Auction business (the ADESA Subsidiaries) were released from their guarantees of the Existing Notes. None of the ADESA Subsidiaries will guarantee the New Secured Notes. The ADESA Subsidiaries will no longer be subject to the restrictive covenants in the indentures governing the Existing Notes, and will not be subject to the restrictive covenants in the indenture that will govern the New Secured Notes. Prior to the completion of the Exchange Offers, the Company also expects to complete a series of internal corporate transactions permitted under its existing debt arrangements, including contributing the assets of the Carvana finance platform, which consists of certain intellectual property assets, to consolidate its financing business at FinCo.
The New Secured Notes and the guarantees will be secured by second-priority liens on certain assets and property owned by Carvana, LLC to which the Ally Parties (as defined herein) were granted a first-priority perfected security interest (such property constituting the Ally Collateral) (such assets and property securing the New Secured Notes and guarantees, together with the assets and property owned by any other person that we elect, in our sole discretion, to become a grantor to secure our senior secured obligations, the Collateral), which Collateral consists of any automobile, van, or light duty truck that is not manufactured for a particular commercial purpose, accounts and general intangibles together with any and all accessions, additions, attachments, replacements, substitutions, returns, profits and proceeds in whatever form or type, subject to certain additional exclusions and permitted liens as described in the Exchange Offer Memorandum, including that certain assets that constitute Ally Collateral will not constitute Collateral for the New Secured Notes, such as chattel paper, deposit accounts and the assets and property of FinCo. The New Secured Notes and guarantees will be effectively senior to all existing and future unsecured indebtedness and junior lien indebtedness of Carvana, LLC and any additional grantors that may provide collateral in the future to the extent of the value of the Collateral and any future collateral. The New Secured Notes and related guarantees will be effectively subordinated to indebtedness that is secured by assets that do not secure the New Secured Notes or have priority liens on the Collateral, including indebtedness under our existing and future vehicle inventory financing and security agreements with Ally Bank (Ally Capital in Hawaii, Mississippi, Montana and New Jersey) and Ally Financial Inc. (collectively, the Ally Parties and such existing and future vehicle inventory financing and security agreements, collectively, the Floor Plan Facility), to the extent of the value of the liens on such Collateral. The New Secured Notes and the guarantees will rank equally in right of payment with all of the Companys and the Guarantors existing and future senior indebtedness, including indebtedness under the Floor Plan Facility, and senior in right of payment to any future indebtedness that is expressly subordinated in right of payment to the New Secured Notes; provided, however, that to the extent a Default (as defined in the Floor Plan Facility) under the Floor Plan Facility has occurred and is continuing or if a Default has occurred and is continuing immediately before or after the making of any payment on the New Secured Notes or would be expected to result therefrom and any of the Ally Parties have provided written notice of such Default to the Collateral Agent, such payments on the New Secured Notes (including payments of principal, premium, interest and/or fees) with Ally Collateral (or the proceeds thereof) will be prohibited (or subject to turnover if the Ally Parties provide notice of a Default after such payment is made); provided, further, that payments of principal, premium, interest and fees on the New Secured Notes will be able to be made using cash or other assets that are not pledged to the Ally Parties as Ally Collateral.
The New Secured Notes will bear cash interest at a rate of 9.0% per annum payable semi-annually in arrears. Interest on the New Secured Notes for the first six interest payment dates may, at the Companys option, be paid in the form of an increase in the principal amount of the outstanding New Secured Notes or if, and in the limited circumstances where, the New Secured Notes are no longer held in global form, by issuing additional New Secured Notes (rounded up to the nearest $1.00) (PIK Interest) at a rate of 12.0% per annum, and, thereafter, interest shall be payable solely in cash at a rate of 9.0% per annum.

(1) | No representation is made as to the correctness or accuracy of the CUSIP numbers listed in this press release or printed on the Existing Notes. They are provided solely for convenience. |
(2) | Consideration in the form of principal amount of New Secured Notes per $1,000 principal amount of Existing Notes that are validly tendered and accepted for exchange, subject to any rounding as described herein. In addition to the Exchange Consideration or the Total Consideration, as applicable, all Eligible Holders (as defined herein) of Existing Notes accepted for exchange pursuant to the Offers on the Settlement Date (as defined herein) will also be paid a cash amount equal to any accrued and unpaid interest for such series of Existing Notes from the last interest payment date for such series of Existing Notes to, but not including, the Settlement Date (with respect to each series of Existing Notes, the Accrued Interest). |
(3) | The Early Exchange Premium (as defined herein) will be payable to Eligible Holders who validly tender Existing Notes at or prior to the Early Tender Time, subject to the Maximum Amount. |
(4) | Includes the Early Exchange Premium for Existing Notes tendered for exchange and not validly withdrawn at or prior to the Early Tender Time. |
Each Exchange Offer will expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time on April 19, 2023, or any other date and time to which the Company extends such date and time in its sole discretion (such date and time for such Exchange Offer, as it may be extended, the Expiration Time), unless earlier terminated.
To be eligible to receive the applicable total consideration (the Total Consideration) in the applicable Exchange Offer, Eligible Holders must validly tender and not validly withdraw their Existing Notes at or prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on April 4, 2023, or any other date and time to which the Company extends such period for such Exchange Offer in its sole discretion (such time and date for such Exchange Offer, as it may be extended, the Early Tender Time). Eligible Holders validly tendering their Existing Notes after the applicable Early Tender Time and at or prior to the Expiration Time will only be eligible to receive the applicable exchange consideration set forth in the table above (the Exchange Consideration), which equals the applicable Total Consideration less the applicable early exchange premium (the Early Exchange Premium). We refer to the aggregate amount of Exchange Consideration and Total Consideration that Eligible Holders of Existing Notes are entitled to receive, excluding Accrued Interest, for Existing Notes that are validly tendered and accepted for exchange by the Company as the Aggregate Exchange Consideration.
Validly tendered Existing Notes may be withdrawn, with respect to an Exchange Offer for any series of Existing Notes at or prior to, and not thereafter (subject to applicable law), 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on April 4, 2023, unless extended by the Company in its sole discretion.
The Maximum Amount of New Secured Notes that may be issued to Eligible Holders pursuant to the Exchange Offers is $1,000,000,000 (subject to increase or decrease by the Company in its sole discretion, subject to applicable law). Accordingly, Existing Notes accepted for exchange on the Settlement Date will be accepted based on the order of priority (the Acceptance Priority Levels) set forth in the table above (with 1 being the highest Acceptance Priority Level and 5 being the lowest Acceptance Priority Level). The Company will only accept for exchange Existing Notes up to an aggregate principal amount that will not result in the aggregate principal amount of New Secured Notes issued pursuant to the Exchange Offers exceeding the Maximum Amount. The Company expressly reserves the right, but is under no obligation, to increase or decrease the Maximum Amount at any time, subject to applicable law. This could result in the Company purchasing a greater or lesser aggregate principal amount of Existing Notes in the Exchange Offers and issuing a greater or lesser aggregate principal amount of New Secured Notes. There can be no assurance that the Company will exercise its right to increase or decrease the Maximum Amount.
The Company will exchange any Existing Notes that have been validly tendered at or prior to the Expiration Time and that are accepted for exchange, subject to all conditions to such Exchange Offer having been either satisfied or waived by Carvana, within five business days following the Expiration Time or as promptly as practicable thereafter (the settlement date of such exchange with respect to an Exchange Offer, the Settlement Date), subject to the Maximum Amount, the Acceptance Priority Level and proration, as described in the Exchange Offer Memorandum.
Even if the Exchange Offers are fully subscribed such that the Aggregate Exchange Consideration issuable in respect of Existing Notes validly tendered equals at least the Maximum Amount as of the applicable Early Tender Time, Existing Notes validly tendered at or before the applicable Early Tender Time may be subject to proration if the Company accepts Existing Notes tendered after the applicable Early Tender Time but on or prior to the Expiration Time that have a higher Acceptance Priority Level than such Existing Notes. In such a scenario, the Company will (assuming satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in the Exchange Offer Memorandum with respect to the Exchange Offers as applicable) accept all validly tendered Existing Notes on or prior to the Expiration Time on a prorated basis based on the Acceptance Priority Level such that the Aggregate Exchange Consideration equals the Maximum Amount (subject to rounding down to the nearest $1,000). All Existing Notes not accepted as a result of proration will be rejected from the applicable Exchange Offer and will be promptly returned to the tendering Eligible Holder. Existing Notes may be tendered and accepted for exchange only in principal amounts equal to minimum denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof; provided that the New Secured Notes will be issued with minimum denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. Eligible Holders who do not tender all of their Existing Notes of a series must ensure that (i) they retain a principal amount of each such series of Existing Notes amounting to at least the applicable minimum denomination for such series and (ii) they tender a sufficient principal amount to receive the applicable minimum denomination for the New Secured Notes. If Eligible Holders fail to tender the sufficient amount to receive the applicable minimum denomination, their exchange will be rejected. Any fractional portion of New Secured Notes not received as a result of rounding down will be paid in cash at a rate equal to the Exchange Consideration, as well as any applicable Early Exchange Premium.
Each Exchange Offer is a separate offer, and each may be individually amended, extended, terminated or withdrawn, subject to certain conditions and applicable law, at any time in the Companys sole discretion, and without amending, extending, terminating or withdrawing any other Exchange Offer. No Exchange Offer is conditioned upon the consummation of any other Exchange Offer.
Notwithstanding any other provision of the Exchange Offers, the Companys obligation to accept and exchange any of the Existing Notes validly tendered pursuant to the Exchange Offers is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions, including (i) the receipt of the consents from the Ally Parties (and any other required lender or participants under the Floor Plan Facility) with respect to the arrangements with the Ally Parties or relating to the ability of the Company to provide for the imposition of certain additional second liens on the Collateral, which consent must be satisfactory in all respects to the Company and (ii) the Minimum Participation Condition, and the Company expressly reserves the right to terminate any or all Exchange Offers at any time, subject to applicable law.
The Exchange Offers are being made, and the New Secured Notes are being offered, only to holders of the Existing Notes who are either (a) persons other than U.S. persons as defined in Regulation S, and who agree to purchase the New Secured Notes outside of the United States, and who are otherwise in compliance with the requirements of Regulation S; or (b) persons who are reasonably believed to be qualified institutional buyers as defined in Rule 144A under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Securities Act), and to whom the New Secured Notes are offered in the United States in a transaction not involving a public
offering, pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act. A person in, or subject to the securities laws of any province or territory of Canada, must be a resident of one of the Provinces of Ontario, Quebec or Alberta and both an accredited investor and a permitted client, as such terms are defined under Canadian securities laws in order to be eligible to participate in the Exchange Offers. The holders of Existing Notes who have certified to the Company that they are eligible to participate in the Exchange Offers pursuant to at least one of the foregoing conditions are referred to as Eligible Holders. Eligible Holders may go to www.dfking.com/carvana to confirm their eligibility.
Full details of the terms and conditions of the Exchange Offers are described in the Exchange Offer Memorandum, the Exchange Offers are only being made pursuant to, and the information in this press release is qualified in its entirety by reference to, the Exchange Offer Memorandum, which is being made available to Eligible Holders of the Existing Notes. Eligible Holders of the Existing Notes are encouraged to read the Exchange Offer Memorandum, as it contains important information regarding the Exchange Offers.
