●Increased Website customers to over 6,300, an 8% increase year-over-year and website upsells grew by more than 1,000 from a year ago; Accu-Trade Connected units increased to over 850, up from 400 a year ago

“During the quarter, we made strong strategic moves that advanced our platform strategy and unlocked future growth. We launched Cars Commerce, our new B2B brand, reflecting our commitment to unite the industry by simplifying car buying and selling for consumers, dealers, OEMs and lenders. We delivered strong results for the quarter driven by increased market adoption of our products. We are also excited about our acquisition of D2C Media Inc., which further extends our Canadian presence and growth opportunities,” said Alex Vetter, Chief Executive Officer of Cars Commerce.
1 The decline of the digital dealer industry negatively impacted our Dealer Customer count by over 650 cancellations which started in the second quarter of 2022. There are effectively no digital dealers in the Company’s Dealer Customer count.

Q3 2023 Results
Revenue for the third quarter totaled $174.3 million, an increase of $9.7 million, or 6%, compared to the prior year period. Dealer revenue grew 8% year-over-year, driven by continued growth in solutions and media products, and the 2023 Marketplace Repackaging initiative. OEM and National revenue totaled $14.5 million, 2% lower compared to the prior year. However, OEM customer revenue increased 12% year-over-year. And sequentially, OEM and National revenue increased 17%.
Third quarter ARPD grew 9%, or $213, year-over-year to $2,548, primarily driven by the 2023 Marketplace Repackaging initiative which concluded this quarter. Dealer Customers also stabilized. As of September 30, 2023, Dealer Customers totaled 18,715, compared to 18,785 at the end of the second quarter of 2023.
Total operating expenses for the third quarter were $160.0 million, compared to $144.7 million for the prior year period. Adjusted operating expenses for the third quarter were $150.5 million, a $14.3 million increase compared to the prior year period. The change in adjusted operating expenses is primarily due to increased investments to support the Company’s revenue growth. Marketing and sales costs increased largely due to investments in Brand Media to support the Cars.com Possibilities advertising campaign, in person events, as well as higher compensation. Product and technology increased due to higher compensation and third-party costs, including licenses and consulting.
Net income for the quarter was $4.5 million, or $0.07 per diluted share, compared to a Net loss of $2.9 million, or $0.04 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2022. The change in Net income is primarily attributable to the change in the fair value of contingent consideration associated with the Company’s prior acquisitions.
Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter totaled $49.5 million, or 28% of revenue, compared to $49.9 million, or 30% of revenue, for the prior year period.
The Company remains focused on driving high-quality traffic at scale. Organic traffic remained strong at 62% for the quarter. Average Monthly Unique Visitors were 26.0 million and total Traffic increased to 151.4 million.
Cash Flow and Balance Sheet
Net cash provided by operating activities for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2023 was $91.6 million, compared to $91.3 million in the prior year. Free Cash Flow for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2023 was $76.0 million compared to $76.9 million in the prior year. The variance in free cash flow was primarily due to a year-over-year increase in cash taxes of $16.4 million, the majority of which was offset by favorable changes in working capital.
During the first nine months of 2023, the Company paid down $26.3 million of debt, reducing total debt outstanding to $455.0 million, as of September 30, 2023. At quarter-end, the Company’s net leverage ratio (as defined in the Company’s credit facility) was 2.1x, at the low end of its target net leverage
range of 2.0x to 2.5x. Total liquidity remains strong at $279.1 million, including cash and cash equivalents of $49.1 million and $230.0 million of undrawn revolver capacity, as of September 30, 2023.
Year-to-date, the Company repurchased 1.3 million of its common shares for $23.6 million.
The Company funded the acquisition of D2C Media Inc. through a combination of cash on hand and borrowings under the Company’s existing revolving credit facility. Pro forma for the acquisition, net leverage as of September 30, 2023 would have been 2.5x, at the high end, but still within the Company’s target net leverage range.
“Our strong third quarter results demonstrate the depth and strength of our platform strategy, which creates great value for our customers and supports our strong cash flow generation. This strong cash flow, coupled with our flexible capital structure, enables us to repay debt, repurchase shares and to invest in organic and inorganic growth opportunities like D2C Media Inc.,” said Sonia Jain, Chief Financial Officer of Cars Commerce.
2023 Outlook
The Company is well-positioned to deliver profitable growth through continued dealer and OEM adoption of the Cars Commerce Platform. Fourth quarter revenue is expected to be between $177 million and $179 million, reflecting continued year-over-year revenue growth of 5.2% to 6.4%. The Company’s guidance reflects anticipated continued growth in its Dealer Revenue driven by adoption of dealer solutions and media products, as well as modest sequential improvement expected in OEM and National Revenue. Additionally, guidance includes revenue associated with the acquisition of D2C Media Inc., which the Company expects will contribute approximately 1.5% of its total revenue dollars in the fourth quarter. Year-over-year revenue growth rates reflect the launch of Accu-Trade Connected and favorable renegotiation of key website agreements in the prior year period.
For the full year, the Company’s fourth quarter guidance coupled with performance to date, places the Company within its previously shared revenue guidance range. Full year performance reflects the benefit of this year’s 2023 Marketplace Repackaging Initiative, growth in its portfolio of dealer products, and modest improvement in OEM Revenue offset by a challenging environment for auto adjacent advertisers, including insurance companies.
Adjusted EBITDA margin for the fourth quarter is expected to be between 29.5% and 30.5%, reflecting fourth quarter revenue guidance and sequential changes in investment mix.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This earnings release discusses Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, Free Cash Flow and Adjusted Operating Expenses. These financial measures are not prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP"). These financial measures are presented as supplemental measures of operating performance because the Company believes they provide meaningful information regarding the Company’s performance and provide a basis to compare operating results between periods. In addition, the Company uses Adjusted EBITDA as a measure for determining incentive compensation targets. Adjusted EBITDA also is used as a performance measure under the Company’s credit agreement and includes adjustments such as the items defined below and other further adjustments, which are defined in the credit agreement. These non-GAAP financial measures are frequently used by the Company’s lenders, securities analysts, investors and other interested parties to evaluate companies in the Company’s industry. For a reconciliation of the non-GAAP measures presented in this earnings release to their most directly comparable financial measure prepared in accordance with GAAP, see "Non-GAAP Reconciliations" below.
Other companies may define or calculate these measures differently, limiting their usefulness as comparative measures. Because of these limitations, non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation or as substitutes for performance measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. Definitions of these non-GAAP financial measures and reconciliations to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are presented in the tables below.
The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) before (1) interest expense, net, (2) income tax (benefit) expense, (3) depreciation, (4) amortization of intangible assets, (5) stock-based compensation expense, (6) unrealized mark-to-market adjustments and cash transactions related to derivative instruments, and (7) certain other items, such as transaction-related items, severance, transformation and other exit costs and write-off and impairments of goodwill, intangible assets and other long-lived assets.
Transaction-related items result from actual or potential transactions such as business combinations, mergers, acquisitions, dispositions, spin-offs, financing transactions, and other strategic transactions, including, without limitation, (1) transaction-related bonuses and (2) expenses for advisors and representatives such as investment bankers, consultants, attorneys and accounting firms. Transaction-related items may also include, without limitation, transition and integration costs such as retention
bonuses and acquisition-related milestone payments to acquired employees, consulting, compensation and other incremental costs associated with integration projects, fair value changes to contingent considerations and amortization of deferred revenue related to the Accu-Trade acquisition.
The Company defines Free Cash Flow as net cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures, including purchases of property and equipment and capitalization of internally developed technology.
The Company defines Adjusted Operating Expenses as total operating expenses adjusted to exclude stock-based compensation, write-off and impairments of goodwill, intangible assets, long-lived assets, severance, transformation and other exit costs and transaction-related items.
Key Metric Definitions
Average Monthly Unique Visitors (“UVs”) and Traffic (“Visits”). The Company defines UVs in a given month as the number of distinct visitors that engage with its platform during that month. Visitors are identified when a user first visits an individual Cars Commerce property on an individual device/browser combination or installs one of its mobile apps on an individual device. If a visitor accesses more than one of its web properties or apps or uses more than one device or browser, each of those unique property/browser/app/device combinations counts toward the number of UVs. Traffic is defined as the number of visits to Cars Commerce desktop and mobile properties (responsive sites and mobile apps). The Company measures UVs and Traffic via Adobe Analytics. These metrics do not include traffic to Dealer Inspire websites.
Monthly Average Revenue Per Dealer ("ARPD"). The Company believes that its ability to grow ARPD is an indicator of the value proposition of its platform. The Company defines ARPD as Dealer revenue, excluding digital advertising services, during the period divided by the monthly average number of Dealer Customers during the same period. Beginning with the three months ended June 30, 2022, Accu-Trade is included in our ARPD metric. No prior period has been recast as it would be impracticable to do so and the inclusion of Accu-Trade would have had an immaterial impact on ARPD for prior periods
Dealer Customers. Dealer Customers represent dealerships using the Company’s products as of the end of each reporting period. Each physical or virtual dealership location is counted separately, whether it is a single-location proprietorship or part of a large, consolidated dealer group. Multi-franchise dealerships at a single location are counted as one dealer. Beginning June 30, 2022, this key operating metric includes Accu-Trade; however, no prior period has been recast as it would be impracticable to do so.

As a result, our actual financial results, performance, achievements, strategic actions or prospects may differ materially from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. These statements often include words such as "believe," "expect," "project," "anticipate," "outlook," "intend," "strategy," "plan," "estimate," "target," "seek," "will," "may," "would," "should," "could," "forecasts," "mission," "strive," "more," "goal" or similar expressions. All forward-looking statements contained in this press release are qualified by these cautionary statements.

Whether or not any such forward-looking statement is in fact achieved will depend on future events, some of which are beyond our control.

“The acquisition of D2C Media presents an exciting opportunity to expand Cars Commerce further across North America. With D2C Media’s deep local relationships and established infrastructure, we will be able to tap into a new market with dozens of OEMs and thousands of retailers to fuel accelerated growth,” said Alex Vetter, chief executive officer of Cars Commerce. “I’m thrilled to welcome the D2C Media team, and, together, we look forward to creating tremendous value for Canadian retailers through our ongoing commitment to enabling local automotive retail and simplifying everything about buying and selling cars.”
As a result of the acquisition, Cars Commerce will materially expand from its existing base of approximately 250 Dealer Inspire Canadian website customers. In addition, with this acquisition Cars Commerce will now be endorsed by approximately 60% of OEMs operating in Canada, with significant runway for additional growth. The combination of D2C’s local experience and knowledge with the Cars Commerce product portfolio will enable increased distribution for the Dealer Inspire and Accu-Trade brands in Canada; and deeper relationships with OEMs, many of whom seek complete coverage of North America.
Based in Montreal, D2C Media was founded in 2003 and has approximately 95 employees distributed throughout Canada. More information on the transaction will be provided on Cars Commerce’s third quarter earnings call.

Forward-Looking Statements
This press release contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the federal securities laws. All statements other than statements of historical facts are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements include information concerning goals, plans, expectations, projections regarding the expected benefits of the transaction, management’s plans, projections and objectives for the transaction, future operations, scale and performance, integration plans and expected synergies therefrom, and our financial position, results of operations, market position, capital allocation strategy, initiatives, business strategy and expectations of our management, and other matters and involve known and unknown risks that are difficult to predict. As a result, our actual financial results, performance, achievements, strategic actions or prospects may differ materially from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. These statements often include words such as “believe,” “expect,” “project,” “anticipate,” “outlook,” “intend,” “strategy,” “plan,” “estimate,” “target,” “seek,” “will,” “may,” “would,” “should,” “could,” “forecasts,” “mission,” “strive,” “more,” “goal” or similar expressions. All forward-looking statements contained in this press release are qualified by these cautionary statements. Forward-looking statements are based on our current expectations, beliefs, strategies, estimates, projections and assumptions, experience in the industry as well as our perceptions of historical trends, current conditions, expected future developments, global supply chain shortages, fluctuating fuel prices, rising interest rates, inflation and and other factors we think are appropriate. Such forward-looking statements are based on estimates and assumptions that, while considered reasonable by the Company and its management based on their knowledge and understanding of the
business and industry, are inherently uncertain. While the Company and its management make such statements in good faith and believe such judgments are reasonable, you should understand that these statements are not guarantees of future strategic action, performance or results. Our actual results, performance, achievements, strategic actions, or prospects could differ materially from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. Given these uncertainties, you should not rely on forward-looking statements in making investment decisions. When we make comparisons of results between current and prior periods, we do not intend to express any future trends, or indications of future performance, unless expressed as such, and you should view such comparisons as historical data. Whether or not any such forward-looking statement is in fact achieved will depend on future events, some of which are beyond our control.
Forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks, uncertainties and other important factors, many of which are beyond our control, that could cause our actual results and strategic actions to differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements contained in this press release. For a detailed discussion of many of these and other risks and uncertainties, see “Part I, Item 1A., Risk Factors” and “Part II, Item 7., Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on February 23, 2023 and our other filings filed with the SEC and available on our website at investor.cars.com or via EDGAR at www.sec.gov. You should evaluate all forward-looking statements made in this press release in the context of these risks and uncertainties. The forward-looking statements contained in this press release are based only on information currently available to us and speak only as of the date of this press release. We undertake no obligation, other than as may be required by law, to update or revise any forward-looking or cautionary statements to reflect changes in assumptions, the occurrence of events, unanticipated or otherwise, or changes in future operating results over time or otherwise. The forward-looking statements in this press release are intended to be subject to the safe harbor protection provided by the federal securities laws.
