Exhibit 99.1
Dear Shareholders,

The second quarter was a quarter of adjustment and progress for Carvana. As a result of changes in the economy, the market, and the industry, we shifted our priorities to focus on driving profitability through operating efficiency and reducing expenses.

The people inside Carvana are responding. We have implemented new internal processes to accelerate our progress, and we are now operating more effectively across the business than at any other time in our history.

Our team’s efforts are producing many positive trends in our key operating metrics. In the second quarter, we drove meaningful sequential improvement in retail units sold, revenue and total GPU, while simultaneously reducing total SG&A dollars. This resulted in material reductions to SG&A per retail unit sold and a significant improvement in EBITDA margin.

Looking through a medium-term lens, we also made tremendous progress this quarter by acquiring ADESA U.S. (“ADESA”), the second largest used vehicle physical auction business in the U.S., significantly increasing the scope of our logistics network and reconditioning capacity. In the few months since the acquisition, we have already made meaningful progress integrating our two businesses, giving us visibility to significant gains in both the short and long term.

The used vehicle industry continues to face high used vehicle prices, rising interest rates, and other macroeconomic pressures. We believe the factors currently impacting used vehicle industry sales are transitory, and at some point, the headwinds we have seen this year will turn into tailwinds. We are adapting to the current environment quickly and using it as an opportunity to become more efficient. As a result, we will be well positioned for the turnaround when it arrives.

In tougher times, focus generally turns to the short term, but it is useful to maintain awareness of the long term as well. It looks better than ever.

Despite all the headwinds we have faced in the economy, in the industry, and from shifting our priorities, we have continued to deliver incredible customer experiences and to rapidly gain market share.

The strength of our customer offering, our market penetration in our more mature markets, and our dramatically improved infrastructure resulting from the acquisition of ADESA bode very well for our future scale.

We believe we have a clear roadmap to return to $4,500 GPU1 and beyond. We still have a long way to go to hit our mid-term SG&A target of $3,000 per unit1, but the path has never been as clearly outlined with concrete internal goals across teams against which we are making rapid, meaningful progress.

We remain firmly on the path to changing the way people buy and sell cars and to becoming the largest and most profitable automotive retailer.

Adjusted EBITDA margin excluding these items was (5.6%)
Basic and diluted net loss, per Class A share was $2.35 based on 101.5 million shares of Class A common stock outstanding

Other Results and Recent Events:

On April 26, 2022, we issued 15.625 million shares of Carvana Co. Class A common stock, generating total proceeds of $1.2 billion after fees and expenses.
On May 9, 2022, we closed our acquisition of the ADESA U.S. Physical Auction business from KAR Global for $2.2 billion. The purchase price of the acquisition and funding for future improvements was funded through the issuance of $3.275 billion of new senior notes due 2030.
In June 2022, we completed a $30 million sale leaseback on the second phase of our Indianapolis inspection and reconditioning center (IRC).
Following quarter-end, we opened 1 new greenfield IRC near Richmond, VA.
In July 2022, we launched Carvana Insurance built with Root to enable Coverage in 3 ClicksTM.

Outlook
We made strong progress on our operating plan in Q2 2022, achieving our outlook for meaningful sequential improvement in retail units sold, revenue, total GPU, SG&A per retail unit sold, and EBITDA margin, while also laying the groundwork for additional progress in future quarters.

As discussed in our recent operating plan presentation, given the current industry, economy, and market environment, we have shifted our priorities to lowering expenses and driving positive free cash flow. On the path toward these goals:

We continue to expect sequential improvements in SG&A per retail unit sold in Q3 vs. Q2 and again in Q4 vs. Q3 on a consolidated basis, inclusive of ADESA SG&A expenses.

We are maintaining our Q4 stretch goal of $4,000 SG&A per retail unit sold, excluding D&A, SBC, and ADESA. Including the consolidation of ADESA SG&A expenses, this stretch goal maps into a range of $4,350 to $4,450 SG&A per retail unit sold, excluding D&A and SBC. Our ability to achieve our stretch goal will depend primarily on retail unit volume and the total SG&A expense savings that we are able to achieve by Q4.

Finally, we continue to expect a return to >$4,000 total GPU and significant positive EBITDA in FY 2023, both including and excluding ADESA gross profit and SG&A expenses.

For more information regarding the non-GAAP financial measures discussed in this letter, please see the reconciliations of our non-GAAP measurements to their most directly comparable GAAP-based financial measurements included at the end of this letter.

Integrating ADESA

We closed our acquisition of ADESA on May 9, 2022, and since then our teams have been working closely together on integrating Carvana operations into ADESA locations. As of August 4, we have already:

1.Embedded market hubs at 18 ADESA locations.

2.Began landing over half of the cars we buy from customers that we plan to sell wholesale at ADESA sites.

3.Ramped up our overall inspection and reconditioning volume to over 500 units per week at ADESA sites that complement our existing IRC footprint, mostly in coastal locations.

Looking forward, we plan to continue rapidly adding Carvana functions to ADESA locations while preserving and over time improving upon the operations that successfully made ADESA the second largest used vehicle physical auction business in the U.S. For additional details on ADESA’s Q2 financial results, please see Appendix 1.


1 Adjusted EBITDA margin excludes the impacts of the CEO’s Gift and Other Income and Expense

We are extremely happy with our integration progress so far which has only been possible because of the enthusiasm from the teams on both sides to work together.

This progress and the visibility into additional progress has us more excited than ever about the long-term strategic benefits of the Carvana and ADESA combination.

Expansion

In Q2 2022, we completed our acquisition of ADESA and closed one IRC in Euclid, OH, the smaller of two IRCs in the Cleveland, OH metropolitan area. ADESA’s 56 locations currently have the physical capacity to produce more than 200k units per year when fully staffed with limited real estate improvements. This brought our total annual capacity at full utilization to ~1.2 million units at quarter-end, an increase from ~1 million units at the end of Q1.

We opened 1 new IRC near Richmond, VA in July 2022 and remain on track to open 2 more IRCs in 2022, bringing our total annual capacity at full utilization to ~1.4 million units by the end of 2022.

Looking beyond 2022, we expect to focus our expansion efforts on developing ADESA sites for additional production, as well as improving our logistics network and reducing delivery times and costs.

Management Objectives

Historically, our three primary financial objectives have been: (1) Grow Retail Units and Revenue; (2) Increase Total Gross Profit Per Unit; and (3) Demonstrate Operating Leverage. We believe continued focus on these goals will lead to a strong long-term financial model.

As discussed in our recent operating plan presentation, given the current industry, economy, and market environment, we have shifted our priorities to lowering expenses and driving positive free cash flow. However, this letter maintains our historical format to discuss our key results.


picture3-ltfinancialgoals.jpg
*Adjusted EBITDA Margin excludes the impacts of the CEO’s Gift and Other Income and Expense which we expect to be immaterial in the long-term























5



Objective #1: Grow Retail Units and Revenue

Retail units sold in Q2 increased to 117,564, up 9% from 107,815 in Q2 2021. Q2 revenue grew to $3.884 billion, up 16% from $3.336 billion. Revenue grew faster than retail units due to higher used vehicle prices and the acquisition of ADESA.
Our growth in the quarter reflected significant market share gains versus the used vehicle industry as a whole, which was down ~15% year-over-year according to industry data sources. These market share gains reflect the desirability of our customer offering and came despite several headwinds related to our changing priorities.

These headwinds included the disruption of our reduction in force that we completed in May and the adjustment to our priorities to elevate expense reduction as our number one financial objective. For example, we reduced our marketing budget by 15% sequentially and reduced the size of our immediately available inventory versus peak levels, which both created sequential volume headwinds with an eye toward future profitability.

We also made progress strengthening our logistics network in Q2, though we do not believe logistics network changes were a material driver of sequential sales volume.

For additional details on our logistics network please see Appendix 2.

picture4-qtrlyretailunitsa.jpg

Objective #2: Increase Total Gross Profit Per Unit

We achieved significant sequential improvement in total GPU in Q2 2022, despite the continued impacts of elevated retail and wholesale costs.

Total
Total GPU was $3,368 vs. $5,120 in Q2 2021 and $2,833 in Q1 2022
Total GPU includes a -$51 impact from Ernie’s 1MM unit milestone gift and a -$34 one-time impact from our May reduction in force.
Excluding these impacts, total GPU was $3,453 vs. $2,909 in Q1 2022, a sequential improvement of $544.
Retail
Retail GPU was $1,131 vs. $2,022 in Q2 2021 and $808 in Q1 2022
Retail GPU includes a -$51 impact from Ernie’s 1MM unit milestone gift and a -$34 one-time impact from our May reduction in force.
Excluding these impacts, retail GPU was $1,216 vs. $884 in Q1 2022, a sequential improvement of $332.
Year-over-year changes in retail GPU were primarily driven by ~$600 per unit higher reconditioning and inbound transport costs compared to Q2 2021, the aforementioned Gift and reduction in force impacts, and higher retail depreciation rates compared to Q2 2021, partially offset by buying more cars from customers.
Sequential changes in retail GPU were primarily driven by higher spreads between retail sales prices and acquisition prices. Retail reconditioning and inbound transport costs were similar in Q2 and Q1, as we primarily sold vehicles in Q2 that were reconditioned prior to our cost efficiency initiatives.
Wholesale
Wholesale GPU was $383 vs. $547 in Q2 2021 and $219 in Q1 2022[1]
Year-over-year changes in wholesale GPU were driven by a $43 impact from the acquisition of ADESA, as well as wholesale volume growth (units +18% YoY to 55,299), offset by a decrease in gross profit per wholesale unit sold to $814 from $1,254 in Q2 2022 due to higher wholesale market depreciation and higher inbound transport costs on wholesale units sold.
Sequential changes in wholesale GPU were primarily driven by ADESA and increased spreads between sales and acquisition prices.
Other
Other GPU was $1,854 vs. $2,551 in Q2 2021 and $1,806 in Q1 2022
Year-over-year changes in Other GPU were driven by several factors, including higher benchmark interest rates at time of loan sale relative to origination interest rates, wider credit spreads, and a change in loan sales channel mix, partially offset by the impact of higher industry-wide vehicle prices on average loan size.
Sequential changes in Other GPU were primarily driven by higher origination rates relative to benchmark interest rates, partially offset by wider credit spreads and a change in loan sales channel mix.
Looking toward Q3, we expect to sell loans in the whole loan sales format but will maintain flexibility to optimize our channel mix as the quarter progresses.

For additional details on drivers of Total GPU please see Appendix 3.

1 Beginning in Q2 2022, wholesale gross profit and wholesale GPU includes gross profit from the sale of wholesale marketplace vehicles at our acquired ADESA locations. For additional details on the impact of ADESA on wholesale GPU, please see the Q2 2022 Financial Supplement Tables posted on our investor relations website.


picture5-2ndqtrtotalgpu.jpg

Objective #3: Demonstrate Operating Leverage

We made significant sequential improvement in net loss margin and Adjusted EBITDA margin in Q2, levering by 3.2% and 5.0%, respectively, driven by improvements in both GPU gains and SG&A leverage. On a year-over-year basis net loss margin increased by 12.7% and Adjusted EBITDA margin loss increased by 9.9%, each driven by the industry, economic, and internal factors described throughout this letter.

For Q2 2022, as a percentage of revenue:

Total SG&A levered by 2.2% sequentially, reflecting gains across most components. Compensation and benefits levered by 0.8%, advertising levered by 1.1%, logistics and market occupancy increased by 0.2%, and other SG&A levered by 0.5%. Leverage across these components was driven by adjustments made to better align expense levels with sales volume.

Total SG&A increased by 4.5% year-over-year, compensation and benefits increased 2.1%, advertising levered by 0.2%, logistics and market occupancy increased by 1.0%, and other SG&A increased by 1.6%.

For additional details on SG&A leverage please see Appendix 4.

Summary

Andy Grove has a famous quote about companies going through difficult periods:

“Bad companies are destroyed by crisis, good companies survive them, great companies are improved by them.”

Quotes that get repeated over time are usually repeated because they are supported by history and ring true. This quote is no different. Plans are full of straight lines, but history tends to zig and zag.

On the way to achieving our mission, we will probably be tested many times. As we have in the past, we will Zag Forward and seek to improve with every test.

The march continues.





Sincerely,

Ernie Garcia, III, Chairman and CEO

Mark Jenkins, CFO

Appendix #1: Additional Details on Integrating ADESA

One of our priorities at ADESA is to continue providing great customer service to ADESA’s auction buyers and sellers and to benefit from ADESA’s existing high-quality business through EBITDA contribution today with the potential to increase very significantly as the auction industry rebounds over the next several years.

The current wholesale auction industry environment is a unique and challenging one, with constraints on new car production leading to much lower than historical supply from large commercial sellers, such as new car manufacturers, rental car companies, and finance companies.

Marketplace unit volume was the primary driver of ADESA’s results in Q2, with units declining ~10% sequentially vs. Q1. Approximately half of this change was due to the attrition of certain customers following the acquisition. Since the closing, we have already had some buyers and sellers that initially pulled away from ADESA come back, and we have also recently had multiple other large commercial sellers increase the volume they are sending to ADESA. The team at ADESA has done an excellent job managing the turbulence of the acquisition and is back to business as usual.

For the partial quarter following the close of our acquisition on May 9, 2022, the ADESA wholesale marketplace transacted 111,883 units, generating $108 million in revenue, $20 million of gross profit excluding depreciation and amortization, and -$2 million of Adjusted EBITDA. For additional details on ADESA financial results, please see the Q2 2022 Financial Supplement Tables posted on our investor relations website.

This partial quarter Adjusted EBITDA included $3 million of one-time expenses and the reallocation of $2 million of gross profit generated from Carvana business that was internalized following the acquisition. In addition, these results were impacted by a temporary pause on making operating adjustments while our two companies merged. Following quarter end, we began implementing changes that we expect to positively impact EBITDA contribution by approximately $7 million per quarter by later this year.

As a result of the way the teams have come together, all we have continued to learn about the business, the rapid progress we are making in integration, and the long-term opportunity that exists between the two companies, we are more excited than ever about our acquisition of ADESA.

Appendix #2: Additional Details on Strengthening the Logistics Network

Logistics continues to be an important area where there is significant room for additional improvement in reliability, costs, and delivery speed. It is also an area where we have made a lot of fundamental progress recently.

Starting with speed metrics, delivery times across the network have largely been flat over the last several months. These metrics have remained approximately flat as a result of the fundamental progress that we are making being offset by three temporary headwinds.

The first headwind has been adding delivery time buffers in many states to provide cushion for our title and registration teams to work with the various states to complete necessary registration paperwork. As it relates to title and registration, it is important to note that we are (a) at the best execution levels we have ever been in our history, (b) based on data we have access to, in many cases likely better than the majority of traditional dealerships, and (c) committed to making additional progress which is what has caused us to add buffers in certain states. We expect to remove these buffers over time as we continue to improve our processes and obtain licenses at additional locations, which simplifies paperwork processing.

Second, reduced affordability and the tougher economic environment have led to an increase in the rate of customer order cancellation, which leads to additional strain per sale on our network. While we expect this effect to also be transitory and to alleviate over time naturally when affordability and the economy improve, we are also actively working on several product improvements to reduce this unnecessary strain.

Third, as part of our work to balance the business with sales volume, we have reduced the size of our inventory which, all else constant, causes customers to select cars that are further away from them on average.
Moving to reliability, two important metrics we use internally measure the percentage of scheduled multi-car hauler trips and of individual car loading events that are executed as expected. Both metrics have improved materially over the last couple months and are now at levels that are similar to or better than prior to the Omicron wave. This progress has been the result of product and process enhancements as well as more internal benchmarking leading to operational focus at our sites with the most opportunity for improvement.

Finally, on cost, an important driver for our network is our utilization percentage which measures what percentage of vehicle slots are utilized on a mile weighted basis across our logistics network. Over the last 6 months, we have reduced unutilized slots by approximately one third. This has been accomplished with fundamental product enhancements and by balancing inventory positioning which got out of balance in the first quarter. We added route utilization awareness into our vehicle bidding systems, into our schedulers, and into our customer facing merchandising to nudge transportation demand toward routes where the logistics network is better suited to fulfill it reliably and efficiently.

Historically these systems had awareness of shipping distance, but were unaware of utilization on required routes. In order to improve inventory positioning without building in recurring costs, we spent more on third party transportation in the second
11


quarter to move inventory from our most out of balance locations. Over time, we will explore the appropriate balance of utilization and speed in our logistics network as these are performance criteria that can be traded off with one another.

Overall, we feel that our logistics network is stronger than it has been in recent history. That said, we have significantly more progress to make and we have better visibility than ever into how to make that progress. This will continue to be an area of the business that receives increased attention.
















Appendix #3: Additional Details on Drivers of Total GPU

We achieved $3,410 total GPU ex Gift, RIF, ADESA in Q2, while experiencing several notable impacts on the business.

First, retail reconditioning and inbound transport costs were up ~$600 per unit YoY. We made progress in Q2 on reducing costs on produced units that were pushed to the website, but this progress will take time to appear in retail cost of sales as the newly produced units are sold and units produced in past periods with higher cost structures become a smaller share of sales.

Second, the current used vehicle affordability and interest rate environment is having an impact on the share and mix of customers who finance a vehicle with us. As used vehicle prices normalize we expect favorable finance attachment rate and mix effects relative to Q2. We estimate attach rate and mix effects vs. a normalized environment at ~$250 of Other GPU.

Third, we saw industry-wide cost of funds for large, mature issuers increase relative to benchmark rates in Q2 relative to Q1 2022 and FY 2021. We have not yet passed on these cost of fund increases, which we estimate at less than 1 point of rate, but we are starting to see other lenders increase rates and believe the industry will continue to pass through increased costs. We estimate the impact of passing through cost of funds increases at ~$250 of Other GPU.

Finally, we experienced an impact from a higher cost of funds on our Q2 securitization relative to large, mature issuers. We estimate this impact at ~$100 of Other GPU, which we view as transitory based on the specific timing of our Q2 securitization.

Beyond these notable impacts, we also see several additional opportunities.

With our recent acquisition of ADESA, we also see an opportunity to utilize ADESA locations to expand our wholesale volume and GPU.

In July, we launched our fully embedded insurance offering with Root, providing an opportunity for expanded insurance-related GPU.

We continue to see multiple opportunities to expand Other GPU by adding new products to our checkout flow when priorities permit and further enhancements to our finance platform.

Putting it all together, we continue to have strong conviction about our vertically integrated business model’s ability to generate significant GPU, largely through normalizing large temporary impacts and operating our standard playbook on other opportunities.

Appendix #4: Additional Details on SG&A per Retail Unit Sold

Our path to our midterm goal on SG&A per retail unit sold has two phases.

Phase 1: Return to previous levels of SG&A per retail unit sold ex D&A and SBC

The first phase is a return to $4,000 SG&A per retail unit sold excluding D&A, SBC, and ADESA (or equivalently, our consolidated goal of $4,350-4,450 ex D&A and SBC including ADESA). We have achieved this goal in several quarters in the past.

The most important step in this phase is managing SG&A expenses down in absolute dollar terms to match volume. Our business has several levers to adjust expense levels. The largest of these are staffing levels, scheduling optimization, in-sourcing third-party services, and reducing other discretionary expenses.

Phase 2: Proceed to Midterm Goal

Our teams are focused on our primary objective of driving efficiency and reducing SG&A per retail unit sold. Across the business, we have numerous initiatives in place to drive toward our midterm goal.

In logistics, we have several key initiatives underway to lower costs, improve speed, and enhance reliability. These include reducing third-party logistics spend, increasing utilization through better load balancing across the network, improving trip and staging execution, and reducing vehicle miles traveled.

In our last-mile delivery network, we have several key initiatives underway for improving cost per retail unit sold, while maintaining strong availability for our customers, including (i) internal benchmarking and performance management, (ii) staffing and scheduling optimization, (iii) in-sourcing third-party vehicle pick-ups, (iv) pairing retail and buying cars from customer activities, and (v) increasing vending machine utilization.

In customer care, we have several key initiatives underway for improving cost per retail unit sold, while maintaining a strong customer experience, including (i) internal benchmarking and performance management, (ii) automation of manual tasks, (iii) simplified advocate workflows, (iv) enhanced customer communication, and (v) reduction of duplicated and low value tasks.

In advertising, our two primary areas of focus are (i) optimizing spend by mixing toward higher efficiency channels, campaigns, and markets, and (ii) increasing customer conversion to sale. We have several key initiatives underway to improve conversion to sale, including a new co-signer product offering, more affordable inventory, and improvements to the logistics network, as discussed above.

13


Finally, in corporate and technology, we continue to see opportunities to reduce inefficient and discretionary spend, which combined with growth in volume, will lower per unit expenses.

We are already seeing gains across these areas and are excited to progress to our near-term, midterm, and long-term SG&A goals.

OUTSTANDING SHARES AND LLC UNITS
(Unaudited)


LLC Units (adjusted for the exchange ratio and participation thresholds) are considered potentially dilutive shares of Class A common stock because they are exchangeable into shares of Class A common stock, if the Company elects not to settle exchanges in cash. Weighted-average shares of Class A common stock and as-exchanged LLC Units, which were evaluated for potentially dilutive effects and were determined to be anti-dilutive, are as follows:

RECONCILIATION OF GAAP TO NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES (continued)
(Unaudited)

Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, excluding non-Gift share-based compensation, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, and Adjusted EBITDA Margin, excluding non-Gift share-based compensation

Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, excluding non-Gift share-based compensation, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, and Adjusted EBITDA Margin, excluding non-Gift share-based compensation are supplemental measures of operating performance that do not represent and should not be considered an alternative to net (loss) income or cash flow from operations, as determined by U.S. GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net (loss) income plus income tax expense, interest expense, other (income) expense, net, depreciation and amortization, and share-based compensation related to the CEO Milestone Gift, Following our acquisition of ADESA, we are also excluding depreciation and amortization expense which is expensed as part of cost of sales which has historically been only a small component of cost of sales. Adjusted EBITDA, excluding non-Gift share-based compensation is defined as Adjusted EBITDA plus share-based compensation unrelated to the CEO Milestone Gift. Adjusted EBITDA Margin is Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of total revenues. Adjusted EBITDA Margin, excluding non-Gift share-based compensation is Adjusted EBITDA, excluding non-Gift share-based compensation as a percentage of total revenues. We use Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, excluding non-Gift share-based compensation to measure the operating performance of our business and Adjusted EBITDA Margin and Adjusted EBITDA Margin, excluding non-Gift share-based compensation to measure our operating performance relative to our total revenues. We believe these metrics are useful measures to us and to our investors because they exclude certain financial and capital structure items that we do not believe directly reflect our core operations and may not be indicative of our recurring operations, in part because they may vary widely across time and within our industry independent of the performance of our core operations. We believe that excluding these items enables us to more effectively evaluate our performance period-over-period and relative to our competitors. Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, excluding non-Gift share-based compensation, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, and Adjusted EBITDA Margin, excluding non-Gift share-based compensation may not be comparable to similarly titled measures provided by other companies due to potential differences in methods of calculations.

A reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, excluding non-Gift share-based compensation to net (loss) income, which is the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure, and calculation of Adjusted EBITDA Margin and Adjusted EBITDA Margin, excluding non-Gift share-based compensation is as follows:

Total liquidity resources(5)
$4,746 $2,283 
_________________________
1.Availability under short-term revolving facilities is the available amount we can borrow under our existing vehicle inventory floor plan and finance receivable facilities based on the pledgable value of vehicle inventory and finance receivables on our balance sheet on the period end date, excluding the impact to restricted cash requirements. This is distinct from the total commitment amount of these facilities because it represents the currently borrowable amount, rather than committed future amounts that could be borrowed to finance future additional assets.
2.Unpledged vehicle inventory is the value of vehicle inventory on our balance sheet on the period end date beyond that covered by committed financing agreements. On February 1, 2022, we upsized our vehicle inventory floor plan commitment to $3.0 billion.
3.Unpledged real estate assets include IRC, ADESA locations and vending machine real estate assets that have not been previously pledged or sold. Since our first sale-leaseback transaction in 2017, we have historically had flexible access to real estate financing and expect to continue to use various forms of real estate financing in the future.
4.Unpledged beneficial interests in securitizations includes retained beneficial interests in securitizations that have not been previously pledged or sold. We historically have financed the majority of our retained beneficial interests in securitizations and expect to continue to do so in the future.
5.Total liquidity resources is composed of cash and equivalents, availability under existing credit facilities, and additional unpledged assets, including vehicle inventory, finance receivables, real estate, and securities on our balance sheet that can be financed using traditional asset-based financing sources. To optimize our cost of capital, in any given period we may choose not to maximize borrowings on our short-term revolving facilities, maximize revolving commitment size, or immediately sale-leaseback or pledge real estate and retained beneficial interests in securitizations. This has the benefit of reducing interest expense and debt issuance costs and providing flexibility to minimize financing costs over time.
