Non-GAAP net (loss) income is a Non-GAAP financial
measure. Refer to its definition and accompanying
reconciliation to GAAP net (loss) income below. |
|
|
(2) |
Adjusted EBITDA is a Non-GAAP financial
measure. Refer to its definition and accompanying
reconciliation to GAAP net (loss) income below. |
|
|
(3) |
Adjusted EBITDA margin is a Non-GAAP financial
measure, calculated as Adjusted EBITDA divided by total
revenue. |
|
|
(4) |
We define a monthly unique visitor as an individual
who has visited our website, our landing page on our affinity
group marketing partner sites or our mobile applications within a
calendar month. We calculate average monthly unique visitors as the
sum of the monthly unique visitors divided by the number of months
in the period. |
|
|
(5) |
We define units as the number of automobiles
purchased from TrueCar Certified Dealers that are matched to users
of TrueCar.com, our mobile applications or the car-buying sites and
mobile applications we maintain for our affinity group marketing
partners. |
|
|
(6) |
We define monetization as the average transaction
revenue per unit, which we calculate by dividing all of our
transaction revenue (dealer revenue and OEM incentives revenue) in
a given period by the number of units in that period. |
|
|
(7) |
We define franchise dealer count as the number of
franchise dealers in the network of TrueCar Certified Dealers at
the end of a given period. This number is calculated by counting
the number of brands of new cars sold at each individual location,
or rooftop, regardless of the size of the dealership that owns the
rooftop. Note that this number excludes Genesis franchises on
our program due to Hyundai’s transition of Genesis to a stand-alone
brand. In order to facilitate period over period comparisons, we
have continued to count each Hyundai franchise that also has a
Genesis franchise as one franchise dealer rather than two. |
|
|
(8) |
We define independent dealer count as the number of
dealers in the network of TrueCar Certified Dealers at the end of a
given period that exclusively sell used vehicles and are not
directly affiliated with a new car manufacturer. This number is
calculated by counting each location, or rooftop, individually,
regardless of the size of the dealership that owns the
rooftop. |
Management Commentary
“I feel very strongly that we’ve made the necessary changes to
stabilize the business and set us up for growth in the future. We
are re-energized as an organization, and remain excited by the
opportunities in front of us,” said Michael Darrow, TrueCar’s
Interim President and Chief Executive Officer.
Noel Watson, TrueCar’s Chief Financial Officer, continued, “I
believe TrueCar’s differentiated value proposition, for both
consumers and dealers, as well as its diverse set of partnerships,
and new technology platform, create a unique market opportunity and
I look forward to helping the Company realize its potential.”
Business Outlook
Our guidance for the third quarter ending September 30, 2019 is
as follows:
- Revenues are expected to be in the range of $87.0 million to
$89.0 million.
- Adjusted EBITDA is expected to be in the range of $1.0 million
to $3.0 million.(9)
Our guidance for the full year ending December 31, 2019 is
as follows:
- Revenues are expected to be in the range of $345 million to
$350 million.
- Adjusted EBITDA is expected to be in the range of $10.0 million
to $14.0 million.(9)
|

|
|
(9) |
We are unable to provide reconciliations of
forward-looking Adjusted EBITDA without unreasonable effort because
of the uncertainty and potential variability in amount and timing
of stock-based compensation, certain transaction expenses and
certain litigation costs, which are reconciling items between GAAP
net (loss) income and Adjusted EBITDA and could significantly
impact GAAP results. |

Forward-Looking Statements
This press release contains forward-looking statements. All
statements contained in this press release other than statements of
historical fact are forward-looking statements, including
statements regarding our future revenue growth potential and
opportunities and our outlook for the third quarter and full year
2019, including our expectations regarding future revenue and
adjusted EBITDA. These forward-looking statements are subject to a
number of risks, uncertainties and assumptions that may prove
incorrect, any of which could cause our results to differ
materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking
statements, and include, among others, those risks and
uncertainties described under the heading “Risk Factors” in our
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2018 filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission, or SEC, our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the
quarter ended March 31, 2019 filed with the SEC and our Quarter
Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2019 to be filed
with the SEC. Moreover, we operate in a very competitive and
rapidly changing environment. New risks emerge from time to time.
It is not possible for our management to predict all risks, nor can
management assess the impact of all factors on our business or the
extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause
actual results to differ materially from those contained in any
forward-looking statements we may make. All forward-looking
statements in this press release are based on information available
to our management as of the date of this press release and
except as required by law, management assumes no obligation to
update those forward-looking statements, which speak only as of
their respective dates.
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This earnings release includes the following Non-GAAP financial
measures: Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, Non-GAAP net
(loss) income and Non-GAAP net (loss) income per share. We
define Adjusted EBITDA as net loss adjusted to exclude interest
income, interest expense, depreciation and amortization,
stock-based compensation, income (loss) from equity method
investment, certain restructuring costs, certain executive
departure costs, certain transaction expenses, certain litigation
costs, changes in the fair value of contingent consideration, and
income taxes. We define Non-GAAP net (loss) income as net loss
adjusted to exclude stock-based compensation, income (loss) from
equity method investment, certain restructuring costs, certain
executive departure costs, certain transaction expenses, certain
litigation costs, and changes in the fair value of contingent
consideration. We have provided below a reconciliation of each of
Adjusted EBITDA and Non-GAAP net (loss) income to net loss,
the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. Neither
Adjusted EBITDA nor Non-GAAP net (loss) income should be considered
as an alternative to net loss or any other measure of financial
performance calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP.
We use Adjusted EBITDA and Non-GAAP net (loss) income as
operating performance measures because each is (i) an integral part
of our reporting and planning processes; (ii) used by our
management and board of directors to assess our operational
performance, and together with operational objectives, as a measure
in evaluating employee compensation and bonuses; and (iii) used by
our management to make financial and strategic planning decisions
regarding future operating investments. We believe that using
Adjusted EBITDA and Non-GAAP net (loss) income facilitates
operating performance comparisons on a period-to-period basis
because these measures exclude variations primarily caused by
changes in the excluded items noted above. In addition, we believe
that Adjusted EBITDA, Non-GAAP net (loss) income and similar
measures are widely used by investors, securities analysts, rating
agencies and other parties in evaluating companies as measures of
financial performance and debt service capabilities.
Our use of each of Adjusted EBITDA and Non-GAAP net (loss)
income has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not
consider either in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our
results as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations are:
- Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect the payment or receipt of
interest or the payment of income taxes;
- neither Adjusted EBITDA nor Non-GAAP net (loss) income reflects
changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital
needs;
- although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges,
the assets being depreciated and amortized may have to be replaced
in the future, and Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect cash capital
expenditure requirements for such replacements or for new capital
expenditures or any other contractual commitments;
- neither Adjusted EBITDA nor Non-GAAP net (loss) income reflects
severance charges associated with the departures of certain of our
former executives in the second quarter of 2019;
- neither Adjusted EBITDA nor Non-GAAP net (loss) income reflects
the severance charges associated with a restructuring plan
initiated and completed in the first quarter of 2019 to improve
efficiency and reduce expenses;
- neither Adjusted EBITDA nor Non-GAAP net (loss) income reflects
the legal, accounting, consulting and other third-party fees and
costs we incurred in connection with the evaluation and negotiation
of potential merger and acquisition transactions;
- neither Adjusted EBITDA nor Non-GAAP net (loss) income reflects
the costs to advance our claims in certain litigation or the costs
to defend ourselves in various complaints filed against us;
- neither Adjusted EBITDA nor Non-GAAP net (loss) income
considers the potentially dilutive impact of shares issued or to be
issued in connection with stock-based compensation; and
- other companies, including companies in our own industry, may
calculate Adjusted EBITDA and Non-GAAP net (loss) income
differently than we do, limiting their usefulness as comparative
measures.
Because of these limitations, you should consider Adjusted
EBITDA and Non-GAAP net (loss) income alongside other financial
performance measures, including our net loss, our other GAAP
results and various cash flow metrics. In addition, in evaluating
Adjusted EBITDA and Non-GAAP net (loss) income, you should be aware
that in the future we will incur expenses such as those that are
the subject of adjustments in deriving Adjusted EBITDA and Non-GAAP
net (loss) income and you should not infer from our presentation of
Adjusted EBITDA and Non-GAAP net (loss) income that our future
results will not be affected by these expenses or any unusual or
non-recurring items.

(1) |
The excluded amounts include stock-based
compensation of $7.2 million incurred in the second quarter of 2019
associated with the acceleration of certain equity awards and the
extension of the exercise period for certain vested stock options
related to the departures of certain executives, including our
former chief executive officer. |
|
|
|
(2) |
The excluded amounts relate to legal costs incurred
in connection with complaints filed by non-TrueCar dealers and the
California New Car Dealers Association against TrueCar and consumer
class action lawsuits. We believe the exclusion of these costs is
appropriate to facilitate comparisons of our core operating
performance on a period-to-period basis. Based on the nature of the
specific claims underlying the excluded litigation matters, once
these matters are resolved, we do not believe our operations are
likely to entail defending against the types of claims raised by
these matters. We expect the cost of defending these claims to
continue to be significant pending that resolution. |
|
|
|
(3) |
The excluded amounts represent severance charges
associated with the separation of our former chief executive
officer and the termination of executive-level employees in
connection with a change in chief executive officer of $4.6 million
in the second quarter of 2019, as well as related recruiting fees
of $0.1 million for the search for a new chief executive officer.
We believe excluding the impact of these terminations and the
associated chief executive officer recruiting fees is consistent
with our use of these non-GAAP measures as we do not believe they
are a useful indicator of our ongoing operating results. We
expect to incur an additional $0.4 million in executive recruiting
fees in the second half of 2019. |
|
|
|
(4) |
The excluded amounts represent charges associated
with a restructuring plan initiated and completed in the first
quarter of 2019 to improve efficiency and reduce expenses. We
believe excluding the impact of these charges is consistent with
our use of these non-GAAP measures as we do not believe they are a
useful indicator of our ongoing operating results. |
|
|
|
(5) |
The excluded amounts represent external legal,
accounting, consulting and other third-party fees and costs we
incurred in connection with the evaluation and negotiation of
potential acquisition transactions. These expenses are included in
general and administrative expenses in our consolidated statements
of comprehensive loss. We consider these fees and costs,
which are associated with potential merger and acquisition
transactions outside the normal course of our operations, to be
unrelated to our underlying results of operations and believe that
their exclusion provides investors with a more complete
understanding of the factors and trends affecting our business
operations. We also incurred $0.6 million of such transaction
expenses in the three months ended December 31, 2018 and will
recast our prior-period Adjusted EBITDA presented in previous
filings to reflect the exclusion of such expenses in future filings
that present Adjusted EBITDA figures for such three-month
period. |

(1) |
The excluded amounts include stock-based
compensation of $7.2 million incurred in the second quarter of 2019
associated with the acceleration of certain equity awards and the
extension of the exercise period for certain vested stock options
related to the departures of certain executives, including our
former chief executive officer. |
|
|
|
(2) |
The excluded amounts relate to legal costs incurred
in connection with complaints filed by non-TrueCar dealers and the
California New Car Dealers Association against TrueCar and consumer
class action lawsuits. We believe the exclusion of these costs is
appropriate to facilitate comparisons of our core operating
performance on a period-to-period basis. Based on the nature of the
specific claims underlying the excluded litigation matters, once
these matters are resolved, we do not believe our operations are
likely to entail defending against the types of claims raised by
these matters. We expect the cost of defending these claims to
continue to be significant pending that resolution. |
|
|
|
(3) |
The excluded amounts represent severance charges
associated with the separation of our former chief executive
officer and the termination of executive-level employees in
connection with a change in chief executive officer of $4.6 million
in the second quarter of 2019, as well as related recruiting fees
of $0.1 million for the search for a new CEO. We believe excluding
the impact of these terminations and the associated chief executive
officer recruiting fees is consistent with our use of these
non-GAAP measures as we do not believe they are a useful indicator
of our ongoing operating results. We expect to incur an
additional $0.4 million in executive recruiting fees in the second
half of 2019. |
|
|
|
(4) |
The excluded amounts represent charges associated
with a restructuring plan initiated and completed in the first
quarter of 2019 to improve efficiency and reduce expenses. We
believe excluding the impact of these charges is consistent with
our use of these non-GAAP measures as we do not believe they are a
useful indicator of our ongoing operating results. |
|
|
|
(5) |
The excluded amounts represent external legal,
accounting, consulting and other third-party fees and costs we
incurred in connection with the evaluation and negotiation of
potential acquisition transactions. These expenses are included in
general and administrative expenses in our consolidated statements
of comprehensive loss. We consider these fees and costs, which are
associated with potential merger and acquisition transactions
outside the normal course of our operations, to be unrelated to our
underlying results of operations and believe that their exclusion
provides investors with a more complete understanding of the
factors and trends affecting our business operations. We also
incurred $0.6 million of such transaction expenses in the three
months ended December 31, 2018 and will recast our prior-period
Non-GAAP net (loss) income presented in previous filings to reflect
the exclusion of such expenses in future filings that present
Non-GAAP net (loss) income figures for such three-month
period. |
|
|
|
(6) |
There is no income tax impact related to the
adjustments made to calculate Non-GAAP net (loss) income because of
our available net operating loss carryforwards and the full
valuation allowance recorded against our net deferred tax assets at
June 30, 2019 and 2018. |
