Defined Terms

 

Unless otherwise indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, the following terms used herein shall have the following meanings:

 

● references to “CarLotz,” “we,” “us,” “our” and the “Company” are to CarLotz, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries;

 

● references to “Acamar Partners” refer to the Company for periods prior to the consummation of the Merger referred to below;

 

● references to “Acamar Sponsor” are to Acamar Partners Sponsor I LLC; and

 

references to the “Merger” are to the merger pursuant to that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of October 21, 2020 (as amended by Amendment No. 1, dated December 16, 2020, the “Merger Agreement”), by and among CarLotz, Inc. (f/k/a Acamar Partners Acquisition Corp.) (the “Company”), Acamar Partners Sub, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of CarLotz, Inc. (“Merger Sub”), and CarLotz Group, Inc. (f/k/a CarLotz, Inc.) (“Former CarLotz”), pursuant to which Merger Sub merged with and into Former CarLotz, with Former CarLotz surviving as the surviving company and as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.

 

The Company is a used vehicle consignment and Retail RemarketingTM company based in Richmond, Virginia. The Company operates an innovative and one-of-a-kind consumer and commercial used vehicle consignment and sales business model, with an online marketplace and 11 retail hub locations throughout the United States, including in Alabama, California, Colorado, Florida, Illinois, North Carolina, and Virginia.

 

Subsidiaries are consolidated when the parent is deemed to have control over the subsidiaries’ operations.

 

Subsidiary Operations

 

CarLotz, Inc. owns 100% of CarLotz Group, Inc. (a Delaware corporation), which owns 100% of CarLotz, Inc. (an Illinois corporation), CarLotz Nevada, LLC (a Delaware LLC), CarLotz California, LLC (a California LLC), CarLotz Logistics, LLC (a Delaware LLC), Orange Grove Fleet Solutions, LLC (a Virginia LLC), Orange Peel Protection Reinsurance Co. Ltd. (a Turks and Caicos Islands, British West Indies company) and Orange Peel LLC (a Virginia LLC), which owns 100% of Orange Peel Reinsurance, Ltd. (a Turks and Caicos Islands, British West Indies company).

 

Basis of Presentation

 

On January 21, 2021 (the “Closing Date”), the Company consummated the merger pursuant to that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of October 21, 2020, by and among the Company, Merger Sub and Former CarLotz, as amended by Amendment No. 1 to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated December 16, 2020, by and among the Company, Merger Sub and Former CarLotz (See Note 3 “Merger” for further discussion).

 

Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, a business combination between the Company and Former CarLotz was effected through the merger of Merger Sub with and into Former CarLotz with Former CarLotz continuing as the surviving company. Notwithstanding the legal form of the Merger pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the Merger is accounted for as a reverse recapitalization in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP). Under this method of accounting, CarLotz is treated as the acquired company and Former CarLotz is treated as the acquiror for financial statement reporting and accounting purposes.

CarLotz, Inc. and Subsidiaries - Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

(In thousands, except share data)

 

As a result of Former CarLotz being the accounting acquirer, the financial reports filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) by the Company subsequent to the Merger are prepared “as if” Former CarLotz is the predecessor and legal successor to the Company. The historical operations of Former CarLotz are deemed to be those of the Company. Thus, the financial statements included in this report reflect (i) the historical operating results of Former CarLotz prior to the Merger, (ii) the combined results of the Company and Former CarLotz following the Merger on January 21, 2021, (iii) the assets and liabilities of Former CarLotz at their historical cost and (iv) the Company’s equity structure for all periods presented. The recapitalization of the number of shares of common stock attributable to the purchase of Former CarLotz in connection with the Merger is reflected retroactively to the earliest period presented and will be utilized for calculating earnings per share in all prior periods presented. No step-up basis of intangible assets or goodwill was recorded in the Merger transaction consistent with the treatment of the transaction as a reverse recapitalization of Former CarLotz.

 

In connection with the Merger, Acamar Partners Acquisition Corp. changed its name to CarLotz, Inc. The Company’s common stock is now listed on The Nasdaq Global Market under the symbol “LOTZ” and warrants to purchase the common stock at an exercise price of $11.50 per share are listed on The Nasdaq Global Market under the symbol “LOTZW”. Prior to the Merger, the Company neither engaged in any operations nor generated any revenue. Until the Merger, based on the Company’s business activities, it was a “shell company” as defined under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).

 

The accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and applicable rules and regulations of the SEC regarding interim financial reporting. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in annual financial statements have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. Therefore, these interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, except for those related to recent accounting pronouncements adopted in the current fiscal year.

 

The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the audited consolidated financial statements and, in management’s opinion, include all adjustments, which consist of only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for the fair statement of the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2022 and its results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021. The results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the current fiscal year or any other future periods.

 

Restructuring

 

On June 21, 2022, we announced the closure of retail operations at 11 hub locations and determined not to commence retail operations at 3 unopened hub locations with executed lease agreements. The costs associated with the hub closures are classified as restructuring expenses. See Note 21 - Restructuring Charges, Asset Impairment, and Assets Held For Sale for further detail.

 

Shift Merger

 

On August 9, 2022, the Company entered into the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Shift Merger Agreement”) with Shift Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Shift”), and Shift Remarketing Operations, Inc., a Delaware corporation and direct wholly owned subsidiary of Shift (“Shift Merger Sub”), pursuant to which, among other things and subject to the terms and conditions contained therein, Shift Merger Sub will be merged with and into CarLotz, with CarLotz continuing as the surviving corporation and as a wholly owned subsidiary of Shift (the “Shift Merger”). The Shift Merger is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2022, subject to Shift and Company stockholder approval and other customary and regulatory approvals.

 

Certain transaction expenses (“Shift Merger expenses”) such as financial advisory, legal, accounting costs and associated fees and expenses that will be paid at the close of the Shift Merger are expensed as incurred and included in Accrued Expenses (see Note 12 - Accrued Expenses for further detail).

During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, there were no significant revisions to the Company’s significant accounting policies, other than those indicated herein related to the adoption of Leases Topic 842.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities.

 

Following the closing of the Merger, Former CarLotz equity holders at the effective time of the Merger will have the contingent right to receive, in the aggregate, up to 7,500,000 shares of common stock if, from the closing of the Merger until the fifth anniversary thereof, the reported closing trading price of the common stock exceeds certain thresholds. Estimating the change in fair value of the earnout liability for the earnout shares that could be earned by Former CarLotz equity holders at the effective time of the Merger requires determining both the fair value valuation model to use and inputs to the valuation model. The fair value of the earnout shares was estimated by utilizing a Monte-Carlo simulation model, which is a commonly used valuation model for this type of transaction. Inputs that have a significant effect on the earnout shares valuation include the expected volatility, starting stock price, expected term, risk-free interest rate and the earnout hurdles. See Note 6 - Fair Value of Financial Instruments.

 

Warrants that were issued by Acamar Partners (Merger warrants) and continue to exist following the closing of the Merger are accounted for as freestanding financial instruments. These warrants are classified as liabilities on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets and are recorded at their estimated fair value. The estimated fair value of the warrants is determined by using the market value in an active trading market. See Note 6 - Fair Value of Financial Instruments.

 

Beginning in the first quarter of 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak and spread of the COVID-19 virus a pandemic. The COVID-19 pandemic and global macroeconomic and geopolitical conditions continue to disrupt supply chains and impact production and sales across a wide range of industries. The full economic impact of the pandemic and global conditions has not been determined, including the impact on the Company’s suppliers, customers and credit markets. Due to the evolving and uncertain nature of COVID-19 and global macroeconomic and geopolitical conditions, it is reasonably possible that it could materially impact the Company’s estimates, particularly those noted above that require consideration of forecasted financial information, in the near to medium term. The ultimate impact will depend on numerous evolving factors that the Company may not be able to accurately predict, including the duration and extent of the pandemic, the impact of federal, state, local and foreign governmental actions, consumer behavior in response to the pandemic and other economic and operational conditions the Company may face.

 

Restricted Cash

 

As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, restricted cash included approximately $4,049 and $4,336, respectively. The restricted cash is legally and contractually restricted as collateral for lines of credit, including floorplan, and for the payment of claims on the reinsurance companies.

 

Advertising Costs

 

The Company expenses advertising costs as they are incurred. Advertising costs are included in selling, general and administrative expenses on the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations. Advertising expenses were approximately $6,237 and $13,674 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

 

Concentration of Credit Risk

 

Concentrations of credit risk with respect to accounts receivables are limited due to the large diversity and number of customers comprising the Company’s retail customer base.

 

Assets and Liabilities Held For Sale

 

As a result of the announced hub closures on June 21, 2022, the ROU and finance lease assets and liabilities associated with hub locations where the Company has or intends to assign the lease to a third-party or terminate the lease agreement (as opposed to subleasing to a third-party) are classified as held for sale. The fixed assets associated with all closed hub locations, to the extent they are not impaired, are also classified as held for sale.

Revenues

 

The Company recognizes revenue upon transfer of control of goods or services to customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Control passes to the retail and wholesale vehicle sales customer when the title is delivered to the customer, who then assumes control of the vehicle.

 

Retail Vehicle Sales

 

We sell used vehicles to our retail customers through our hubs in various cities. The transaction price for used vehicles is a fixed amount as set forth in the customer contract. Customers frequently trade-in their existing vehicle to apply toward the transaction price of a used vehicle. Trade-in vehicles represent noncash consideration which we measure at estimated fair value of the vehicle received on trade. We satisfy our performance obligation and recognize revenue for used vehicle sales at a point in time when the title to the vehicle passes to the customer, at which point the customer controls the vehicle. We provide a 12-month/12,000-mile limited warranty on most retail vehicle sales. The limited warranty is not treated as a separate performance obligation given the nature of the limited warranty is to provide assurance as to the quality of the vehicle being sold. The revenue recognized by CarLotz includes the agreed upon transaction price, including any service fees. Revenue excludes any sales taxes, title and registration fees, and other government fees that are collected from customers.

 

We receive payment for used vehicle sales directly from the customer at the time of sale or from third-party financial institutions within a short period of time following the sale if the customer obtains financing.

 

Our exchange policy allows customers to initiate an exchange during the first seven days or 400 miles after delivery, whichever comes first. If the vehicle is returned, the sale and associated revenue recognition is reversed, and the vehicle is treated as a purchase of inventory.

 

See the remainder of the Company’s revenue accounting policy related to wholesale, finance and insurance, and other revenue in the Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 filed on March 15, 2022.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). The standard affected all entities that lease assets and requires lessees to recognize a lease liability and a right-of-use asset for all leases (except for short-term leases that have a duration of less than one year) as of the date on which the lessor makes the underlying asset available to the lessee. For lessors, accounting for leases is substantially the same as in prior periods. In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-10, Codification Improvements to Topic 842, Leases, to clarify how to apply certain aspects of the new leases standard. ASU 2016-02, as subsequently amended for various technical issues, was effective for emerging growth companies following private company adoption dates in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2022, and early adoption was permitted.

 

We adopted ASC 842 for the year beginning January 1, 2022 using the modified retrospective transition approach applied at the beginning of the period of adoption, which did not result in a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings. Comparative periods presented in the financial statements continue to be presented in accordance with ASC 840. As permitted under the standard, we have elected the package of practical expedients for the transition to ASC 842, under which we did not reassess our prior conclusions regarding lease identification, lease classification, or initial direct costs for contracts existing as of the transition date. We have also elected to apply the following practical expedients for contracts existing as of the transition date and all new contracts after our adoption of ASC 842: 1) recognizing lease expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term for leases with a term of 12 months or less and not recognizing them on the balance sheet and 2) accounting for lease and non-lease components for all asset classes as a combined single unit of account. We have not elected the practical expedient related to all land easements nor the hindsight practical expedient.

 

The adoption of ASC 842 resulted in the recognition of $50.5 million of operating lease assets, which included an adjustment for deferred rent, and $52.6 million of operating lease liabilities on our opening consolidated balance sheet. We have implemented new business processes, accounting policies, systems and internal controls as part of adopting the new standard. See Note 14 for additional information on leases.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which changes the impairment model for most financial assets. The new model uses a forward-looking expected loss method, which will generally result in earlier recognition of allowances for losses. ASU 2016-13, as subsequently amended for various technical issues, is effective for emerging growth companies following private company adoption dates for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022 and for interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard to its financial statements.

 

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes, which is intended to simplify various aspects related to accounting for income taxes. ASU 2019-12 removes certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 and also clarifies and amends existing guidance to improve consistent application. ASU 2019-12 is effective for emerging growth companies following private company adoption dates in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2022, with early adoption permitted, including adoption in an interim period. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard on its financial statements.

 

Note 3 - Merger

 

On the Closing Date, the Company consummated the merger pursuant to that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of October 21, 2020, by and among the Company, Merger Sub and Former CarLotz, as amended by Amendment No. 1, dated December 16, 2020, by and among the Company, Merger Sub and Former CarLotz.

 

Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, a business combination between the Company and Former CarLotz was effected through the merger of Merger Sub with and into Former CarLotz with Former CarLotz surviving as the surviving company.

 

The Merger was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Under this method of accounting, Acamar Partners was treated as the “acquired” company for financial reporting purposes (See Note 1 - Description of the Business). Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the Merger was treated as the equivalent of Former CarLotz issuing stock for the net assets of Acamar Partners, accompanied by a recapitalization.

 

Prior to the Merger, Former CarLotz and Acamar Partners filed separate standalone federal, state and local income tax returns. As a result of the Merger, structured as a reverse acquisition for tax purposes, Acamar Partners was renamed CarLotz, Inc. and became the parent of the consolidated filing group, with Former CarLotz as a subsidiary.

Merger warrants

 

The following is an analysis of the warrants to purchase shares of the Company’s stock deemed acquired as part of the Merger and outstanding during the nine months ended September 30, 2022. There has been no change in outstanding stock warrants since the Merger.

 

   September 30,

Earnout Shares

 

Former CarLotz equity holders at the closing of the Merger are entitled to receive up to an additional 6,945,732 earnout shares. The earnout shares will be issued to the beneficiaries if certain targets are met in the post-acquisition period. The earnouts for the earnout shares are subject to an earnout period, which is defined as the date 60 months following the consummation of the Merger. The Merger closed on January 21, 2021, and the earnout period expires January 21, 2026. The earnout shares will be issued if any of the following conditions are achieved following January 21, 2021:

 

i.If at any time during the 60 months following the Closing Date (the first business day following the end of such period, the “Forfeiture Date”), the closing trading price of the common stock is greater than $12.50 over any 20 trading days within any 30 trading day period (the “First Threshold”), the Company will issue 50% of the earnout shares.

 

ii.If at any time prior to the Forfeiture Date, the closing trading price of the common stock is greater than $15.00 over any 20 trading days within any 30 trading day period (the “Second Threshold”), the Company will issue 50% of the earnout shares.

 

iii.If either the First Threshold or the Second Threshold is not met on or before the Forfeiture Date, any unissued earnout shares are forfeited. All unissued earnout shares will be issued if there is a change of control of the Company that will result in the holders of the common stock receiving a per share price equal to or in excess of $10.00 (as equitably adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, special cash dividends, reorganizations, combinations, recapitalizations and similar transactions affecting the common stock) prior to the Forfeiture Date.

 

Before the contingency is met, the earnout shares will be classified as a liability under the FASB’s Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 815, so changes in the fair value of the earnout shares in future periods will be recognized in the condensed consolidated statement of operations. The estimated fair value of the liability is determined by using a Monte-Carlo simulation model.

Retail Vehicle Sales

 

The Company sells used vehicles to retail customers through its retail hub locations. The transaction price for used vehicles is a fixed amount as set forth in the customer contract, and the revenue recognized by the Company is inclusive of the agreed upon transaction price and any service fees. Customers frequently trade-in their existing vehicle to apply toward the transaction price of a used vehicle. Trade-in vehicles represent noncash consideration, which the Company measures at estimated fair value of the vehicle received on the trade. The Company satisfies its performance obligation and recognizes revenue for used vehicle sales at a point in time when the title to the vehicle passes to the customer, at which point the customer controls the vehicle. The 12-month/12,000-mile limited warranty included in most retail vehicle sales is not treated as a separate performance obligation given the nature of the limited warranty is to provide assurance as to the quality of the vehicle being sold.

 

The Company receives payment for used vehicle sales directly from the customer at the time of sale or from third-party financial institutions within a short period of time following the sale if the customer obtains financing.

 

The Company’s exchange/return policy allows customers to initiate an exchange/return of a vehicle during the first seven days or 400 miles after delivery, whichever comes first. An exchange/return reserve is immaterial based on the Company’s historical activity.

Wholesale Vehicle Sales

 

Vehicles that do not meet the Company’s standards for retail vehicle sales, vehicles that did not sell through the retail channel within a reasonable period of time and vehicles that the Company determines offer greater financial benefit through the wholesale channel are sold through various wholesale methods. The Company satisfies its performance obligation and recognizes revenue for wholesale vehicle sales when the vehicle is sold at auction or directly to a wholesaler and title to the vehicle passes to the next owner. Additionally, the Company sold or will sell vehicles that were at the closed hub locations through the wholesale channel that may not have been sold through the wholesale channel if the hubs had remained open.

 

Finance and Insurance, net

 

The Company provides customers with options for financing, insurance and extended warranties. Certain warranties are serviced by a company owned by a major stockholder. All other services are provided by third-party vendors, and the Company has agreements with each of these vendors giving the Company the right to offer such services.

 

When a customer selects a service from these third-party vendors, the Company earns a commission based on the actual price paid or financed. The Company concluded that it is an agent for these transactions because it does not control the products before they are transferred to the customer. Accordingly, the Company recognizes finance and insurance revenue at the point in time when the customer enters into the contract.

Unrealized losses shown in the tables above are believed to be temporary. Fair value of investments in fixed maturity debt securities change and are based primarily on market rates. As of September 30, 2022, the Company’s fixed maturity portfolio had 13 securities with gross unrealized losses totaling $(60) that had been in loss positions in excess of 12 months and 21 securities with gross unrealized losses totaling $(128) that had been in loss positions less than 12 months. No single issuer had a gross unrealized loss position greater than $(43), or 69.3% of its amortized cost. As of December 31, 2021, the Company’s fixed maturity portfolio had 23 securities with gross unrealized losses totaling $(6) that had been in loss positions in excess of 12 months and 106 securities with gross unrealized losses totaling $(94) that had been in loss positions less than 12 months. No single issuer had a gross unrealized loss position greater than $12 (actual), or 0.4% of its amortized cost.

Total  $2,976   $74,284   $(2,976)  $(56,621)  $17,663 

 

The fair value of the earnout shares was estimated by using a model based on previous Monte-Carlo simulation models. The inputs into the Monte-Carlo pricing model included significant unobservable inputs. The table below summarizes the significant observable inputs used when valuing the earnout shares as of:

 

   September 30,
2022
   September 30,
2021
 
Expected volatility   120.00%   80.00%
Starting stock price  $0.30   $3.81 
Expected term (in years)   3.3 years    4.30 years 
Risk-free interest rate   4.25%   0.79%
Earnout hurdle  $12.50-$15.00   $12.50-$15.00 

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments Not Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

 

The carrying amounts of restricted cash, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate fair value because their respective maturities are less than three months.

 

The Company has entered a $25,000 floor plan credit facility with Ally Financial. The carrying value of the Ally Financial floor plan notes payable outstanding as of September 30, 2022 approximates fair value due to its variable interest rate determined to approximate current market rates.

Beginning March 10, 2021, the Company entered into a $30,000 floor plan credit facility, which was expanded to $40,000 in the second quarter of 2021, with Ally Financial to finance the acquisition of used vehicle inventory. Concurrently, proceeds from the agreement were used to settle outstanding debt obligations on the Company’s preexisting floor plan facility with AFC. Borrowings under the Ally Financial facility accrue interest at a variable rate based on the most recent prime rate plus 2.50% per annum. The prime rate as of September 30, 2022 was 6.25%. Effective as of October 1, 2022, the maximum available credit line under the floor plan credit facility was reduced from $40,000 to $25,000.

Note 14 - Leases

 

The Company leases its operating facilities from various third parties under non-cancelable operating and finance leases. The leases require various monthly rental payments ranging from approximately $3 to $70, with various ending dates through September 2036. The initial term for real property leases is typically 5 to 15 years. Most leases include one or more options to renew, with renewal terms that can extend the lease term from 1 to 5 years or more. We include options to renew (or terminate) in our lease term, and as part of our right-of-use ("ROU") assets and lease liabilities, when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option. ROU assets and the related lease liabilities are initially measured at the present value of future lease payments over the lease term. The leases are triple net, whereby the Company is liable for taxes, insurance and repairs. These amounts are generally considered to be variable and are not included in the measurement of the ROU asset and lease liability. Most of these leases have escalating rent payments, which are being expensed on a straight-line basis and are included in operating lease amounts on the balance sheet.

 

The Company also leases vehicles from a third party under noncancelable operating leases and leases these same vehicles to end customers with similar lease terms, with the exception of the interest rate. The leases require various monthly rental payments from the Company ranging from $229 to $2,356 (actual) with various ending dates through March 2027. The initial term for vehicle leases is typically 36 to 72 months. Most leases do not include an option to renew. The lease payments are generally fixed throughout the term and any variable lease payments (non-recurring maintenance, taxes, registration) are not included in the measurement of the ROU asset and lease liability.

 

As most of our leases do not provide an implicit rate, we use our collateralized incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the commencement date in determining the present value of future payments. We have elected the practical expedient on not separating lease components from non-lease components. All leases with a term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet; we recognize lease expense for these leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

In the three months ended September 30, 2022, the Company guaranteed the lease obligation of one of its closed hub locations assigned to a third-party that operates a used vehicle dealership. The Company continues as guarantor of such lease obligation with maximum total payments of $1,695 and will continue as the guarantor through March 2031. The Company would be required to perform under the guarantee if the third-party is in default. Given the assignment took place in September 2022, there is not a substantial risk that the third-party will default and the Company will have to perform under the guarantee. We have not recognized a liability associated with this guarantee.

 

Note 15 - Commitments and Contingencies

 

The Company’s facilities are subject to federal, state and local provisions regulating the discharge of materials into the environment. Compliance with these provisions has not had, nor does the Company expect such compliance to have, any material effect upon the capital expenditures, net income, financial condition or competitive position of the Company. Management believes that its current practices and procedures for the control and disposition of such materials comply with the applicable federal and state requirements.

Shift Merger Disclosure Litigation

 

On November 4, 2022, two actions were filed in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware and the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York in connection with the transaction contemplated by the Shift Merger Agreement: Sholom D. Keller v. Carlotz, Inc., et al., C.A. 2022-1006 (Del. Ch.); and Derek Dorrien v. Carlotz, Inc., et al., 22-cv-9463 (S.D.N.Y.) (together, the “Shift Merger Disclosure Actions”). The Shift Merger Disclosure Actions, which name CarLotz and the members of its board of directors as defendants, allege that the Shift Merger Registration Statement is materially misleading, assert claims for breach of fiduciary duties and violations of Section 14(a) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and seek, among other relief, a preliminary and permanent injunction, rescission, and/or damages, as well as an award of attorneys’ fees and costs.

 

In addition to the matters above, the Company is involved in certain legal matters that it considers incidental to its business. In management’s opinion, none of these legal matters will have a material effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

 

Note 16 - Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock

 

Unpaid cumulative distributions were approximately $4,800 as of December 31, 2020, and the Series A Preferred Stock had a liquidation preference of $37,114 as of December 31, 2020. Upon liquidation of Former CarLotz, proceeds in excess of the Series A Preferred Stock would have been shared pro rata among all stockholders based on the number of shares. The unpaid cumulative distributions are included as Accrued expenses - related party on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. As a result of the Merger, the Company settled Former CarLotz’ redeemable convertible preferred stock and redeemable convertible preferred stock tranche obligation with carrying values of $17,560 and $2,832, respectively, as of December 31, 2020.

 

Note 17 - Stock-Based Compensation Plan

 

Stock Option Plans

 

The Company has four stock incentive plans, the “2011 Stock Option Plan,” the “2017 Stock Option Plan,” the “2020 Incentive Award Plan,” and the “Inducement Plan” to promote the long-term growth and profitability of the Company. The plans do this by providing senior management and other employees with incentive to improve stockholder value and contribute to the growth and financial success of the Company by granting equity instruments to these stakeholders.

 

Share-based compensation expense was recorded for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 of approximately $4,234 and $49,114, respectively.

 

The Company estimates the fair value of stock options using the Black-Scholes pricing model. The Black-Scholes pricing model requires the use of subjective inputs such as stock price volatility. Changes in the inputs can materially affect the fair value estimates and ultimately the amount of stock-based compensation expense that is recognized.

2017 Stock Option Plan

 

The terms of the 2017 Stock Option Plan provide for vesting upon certain market and performance conditions, including achieving certain triggering events, including specified levels of return on investment upon a sale of the Company. Because the 2017 Stock Option Plan has a market-based vesting condition, an open-form valuation model was used to value the options. All stock options related to the 2017 Stock Option Plan have an exercise price of $0.92 per share. All stock options related to the 2017 Stock Option Plan expire 10 years after the grant date, which ranges from March 2028 to August 2030.

The 2017 options vest upon a change of control. Although the Merger did not meet the definition of a change of control, the Company modified the awards in connection with the Merger such that all vesting conditions were waived for 3,538,672 of the options. This modification impacted eight employees and resulted in $38,800 of share-based compensation on the modification date. The remaining options were also modified but will vest over a service period of four years and impacted 16 employees. At the time of modification, these options resulted in $186 of cash consideration and $4,500 of share based compensation that will be recognized over the service period of four years. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, $627 of share-based compensation was recognized.

Earnout Restricted Stock Units

 

Former CarLotz option holders as of the effective time of the Merger received 640,421 earnout restricted stock units (Earnout RSUs). The Earnout RSUs vest if certain targets are met in the post-Merger period. The earnouts for the Earnout RSUs are subject to an earnout period, which is defined as the date 60 months following the consummation of the Merger. The Merger closed on January 21, 2021, and the earnout period expires January 21, 2026. Earnout RSUs will vest if any of the following conditions are achieved following January 21, 2021:

 

i.If at any time during the 60 months following the Closing Date (the first business day following the end of such period, the “Forfeiture Date”), the closing trading price of the common stock is greater than $12.50 over any 20 trading days within any 30 trading day period (the “First Threshold”), 50% of the Earnout RSUs will vest.

 

ii.If at any time prior to the Forfeiture Date, the closing trading price of the common stock is greater than $15.00 over any 20 trading days within any 30 trading day period (the “Second Threshold”), 50% of the Earnout RSUs will vest.

 

iii.If either the First Threshold or the Second Threshold is not met on or before the Forfeiture Date, any unvested Earnout RSUs are forfeited. All unvested Earnout RSUs will vest if there is a change of control of the Company that will result in the holders of the common stock receiving a per share price equal to or in excess of $10.00 (as equitably adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, special cash dividends, reorganizations, combinations, recapitalizations and similar transactions affecting the common stock) prior to the Forfeiture Date.

 

The estimated fair value of the liability is determined by using a Monte-Carlo simulation model, which incorporates various assumptions, including expected stock price volatility, contractual term, dividend yield and stock price at grant date.

Note 18 - Income Taxes

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company recorded no income tax benefits for the net operating losses incurred in the period due to its uncertainty of realizing a benefit from those items.

The Company has evaluated the positive and negative evidence bearing upon its ability to realize the deferred tax assets. Management has considered the Company’s history of cumulative net losses incurred since inception through September 30, 2022 and has concluded that it is more likely than not that the Company will not realize the benefits of the deferred tax assets. Management reevaluates the positive and negative evidence at each reporting period. As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, no facts or circumstances arose that affected the Company’s determination as to the full valuation allowance established against the net deferred tax assets.

The closures were part of a review of the business, with cash preservation and future profitable growth as key determining factors. Retail sales operations were ceased at these locations, with all hub closing activities completed by July 8, 2022. The Company has or intends to assign or sub-lease the lease contracts associated with the 11 closed and three unopened hub locations and has classified the assets and liabilities associated with the hub locations that we believe are assignable as of September 30, 2022 as held for sale. The assets and liabilities associated with certain hub locations that we believe we are likely to sublease as of September 30, 2022 are not classified as held for sale. In addition, the Company evaluated the recoverability of amounts associated with lease assets and long lived assets at the held for sale locations. The fair values of the lease assets and property and equipment were determined based on estimated future discounted cash flows for such assets using market participant assumptions, including data on the ability to sub-lease the properties. The charge for inventory reserves represents inventory that will be disposed of through the wholesale channel following the hub closures and is the difference between the estimated wholesale value and inventory cost. In conjunction with the hub closures, the Company recorded the following charges in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022:

 

   Three months ended
September 30,
2022
   Nine months ended
September 30,
2022
 
Inventory losses associated with restructuring  $-   $1,010 
Operating lease asset impairment   323    2,871 
Finance lease asset impairment   70    1,441 
Property and equipment impairment   138    5,970 
Loss on sale of assets related to closed hubs   25    25 
Labor and other costs incurred closing hubs   292    757 
Gain on lease assignment   (236)   (236)
Occupancy   1,127    1,127 
Severance   66    581 
Contract termination costs   80    80 
Total   1,885    13,626 

 

The $1,010 charge for inventory reserves was recorded in cost of sales in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations. The other $12,616 charges were recorded in Restructuring expenses in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations. The total costs recorded in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 represent the total amount that can be reasonably estimated to be incurred in connection with the restructuring. We cannot conclude how long it will take to sublease or assign each lease, so we cannot reasonably estimate other future costs associated with the restructuring.

 

The carrying amount and major classes of assets and liabilities classified as held for sale are:

 

   As of
September 30,
2022
 
Operating lease assets  $15,906 
Finance lease assets  $4,668 
Property and equipment  $286 
Total  $20,860 
      
Operating lease liabilities  $17,123 
Finance lease liabilities  $5,171 
Total  $22,294

In October 2022, the Company assigned the lease of an unopened hub location to a third-party, assigned the lease of a closed hub location to a third-party, and subleased the lease of a closed hub location to a third-party. The Company remains secondarily liable for the lease obligation pursuant to a guarantee for one of the assigned leases and remains primarily liable for the lease obligation for the subleased lease.

Ally Facility

 

Effective as of October 1, 2022, the maximum available credit line under the floor plan credit facility with Ally Financial was reduced from $40 million to $25 million.

 

On October 5, 2022, the Company entered into a Credit Balance Agreement (the “RBCA”) with Ally Financial, with respect to the floor plan credit facility. The RBCA replaces the prior financial covenant under the floor plan credit facility that required the Company to maintain at least 10% of the maximum available credit line in cash and cash equivalents and at least 10% of the maximum available credit line on deposit with Ally Bank with a minimum requirement of $4 million, so long as the amount borrowed under the floor plan credit facility remains under $20 million, with such minimum amount to be increased to $5 million if the amount borrowed under the floor plan credit facility at any time exceeds $20 million.

 

RSU conversion

 

In October 2022, 4,823,584 unvested RSUs previously issued to three executives from the Inducement Plan were converted to restricted stock awards and became common shares outstanding. No other terms were modified upon conversion.
