Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.

Acamar Partners has filed a registration statement on Form S-4 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), which includes a preliminary proxy statement of Acamar Partners, a preliminary prospectus of Acamar Partners and a preliminary consent solicitation statement of CarLotz, and will file other documents with the SEC regarding the proposed transaction. A definitive proxy statement/prospectus/consent solicitation statement will also be sent to the stockholders of Acamar Partners and CarLotz, seeking any required stockholder approval. Before making any voting or investment decision, investors and security holders of Acamar Partners and CarLotz are urged to carefully read the entire registration statement and proxy statement/prospectus/consent solicitation statement, when they become available, and any other relevant documents filed with the SEC, as well as any amendments or supplements to these documents, because they will contain important information about the proposed transaction.

Participants in the Solicitation

 

Acamar Partners, CarLotz and certain of their respective directors and executive officers may be deemed to be participants in the solicitation of proxies from the stockholders of Acamar Partner in connection with the proposed merger. Information regarding Acamar Partners’ directors and executive officers is contained in Acamar Partners’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, which has been filed with the SEC and is available at the SEC website at www.sec.gov.

 

Additional information regarding the interests of these participants and other persons who may be deemed to be participants in the solicitation may be obtained by reading the registration statement and the proxy statement/prospectus/consent solicitation statement and other relevant documents filed with the SEC when they become available. Free copies of these documents may be obtained as described in the preceding paragraph.

 

This communication does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any securities or a solicitation of any vote or approval, nor shall there be any sale of any securities in any state or jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of such other jurisdiction.

 

Forward-Looking Statements

 

This communication contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Generally, forward-looking statements include statements that are not historical facts, such as statements concerning possible or assumed future actions, business strategies, events or results of operations, including statements regarding Acamar Partners’ and CarLotz’ expectations or predictions of future financial or business performance or conditions. Forward-looking statements may be preceded by, followed by or include the words “believes,” “estimates,” “expects,” “projects,” “forecasts,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “seeks,” “plans,” “scheduled,” “anticipates” or “intends” or similar expressions.

 

Forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties that may cause actual events, results or performance to differ materially from those indicated by such statements. Certain of these risks are identified and discussed in Acamar Partners’ registration statement on Form S-4 under “Risk Factors,” Acamar Partners’ Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 under “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A and in Acamar Partners’ Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2020, Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2020 and Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2020 under “Risk Factors” in Part II, Item 1A. These risk factors will be important to consider in determining future results and should be reviewed in their entirety.

 

In addition to risks previously disclosed in Acamar Partners’ reports filed with the SEC and those identified elsewhere in this communication, the following factors, among others, could cause actual results to differ materially from forward-looking statements or historical performance: ability to meet the closing conditions to the merger, including approval by stockholders of Acamar Partners and CarLotz on the expected terms and schedule; delay in closing the merger; failure to realize the benefits expected from the proposed transaction; the effects of pending and future legislation; risks related to management’s focus on the proposed transaction rather than on the ongoing business operations of CarLotz; business disruption following the transaction; risks related to Acamar Partners’ or CarLotz’ indebtedness; other consequences associated with mergers, acquisitions and legislative and regulatory actions and reforms; risks of the automotive and used vehicle industries; the potential impact of COVID-19 on the used vehicle industry and on the CarLotz business; litigation, complaints, product liability claims or adverse publicity; the impact of changes in consumer spending patterns, consumer preferences, local, regional and national economic conditions, crime, weather, demographic trends and employee availability; new entrants in the consignment-to-retail used vehicle business; technological disruptions, privacy or data breaches, the loss of data or cyberattacks; and the ability to compete successfully with new and existing market participants.

Any financial projections in this communication are forward-looking statements that are based on assumptions that are inherently subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond Acamar Partners’ and CarLotz’ control. While all projections are necessarily speculative, Acamar Partners and CarLotz believe that the preparation of prospective financial information involves increasingly higher levels of uncertainty the further out the projection extends from the date of preparation. The assumptions and estimates underlying the projected results are inherently uncertain and are subject to a wide variety of significant business, economic and competitive risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in the projections. The inclusion of projections in this communication should not be regarded as an indication that Acamar Partners and CarLotz, or their representatives, considered or consider the projections to be a reliable prediction of future events.

 

Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made, and Acamar Partners and CarLotz are under no obligation, and expressly disclaim any obligation, to update, alter or otherwise revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law. Readers should carefully review the statements set forth in the reports that Acamar Partners has filed or will file from time to time with the SEC. Forward-looking statements are expressed in good faith, and Acamar Partners and CarLotz believe there is a reasonable basis for then. However, there can be no assurance that the events, results or trends identified in these forward-looking statements will occur or be achieved.

 

Annualized, pro forma, projected and estimated numbers are used for illustrative purpose only, are not forecasts and may not reflect actual results.

 

This communication is not intended to be all-inclusive or to contain all the information that a person may desire in considering an investment in Acamar Partners and is not intended to form the basis of an investment decision in Acamar Partners. All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements concerning Acamar Partners and CarLotz, the proposed transaction or other matters and attributable to Acamar Partners and CarLotz or any person acting on their behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements above.

AMENDMENT NO. 1 TO AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER

 

This AMENDMENT NO. 1 TO AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER, is dated as of December 16, 2020 (this “Amendment”), by and among Acamar Partners Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation (“Acquiror”), Acamar Partners Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned Subsidiary of Acquiror (“Merger Sub”), and CarLotz, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”).

 

WHEREAS, Acquiror, Merger Sub and the Company are parties to that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of October 21, 2020 (the “Merger Agreement”);

 

WHEREAS, capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Merger Agreement; and

 

WHEREAS, each of the Company, Merger Sub and Parent desire to amend the Merger Agreement as set forth in this Amendment and in accordance with Section 9.13 of the Merger Agreement.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in exchange for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereby agree as follows:

 

Section 1. Amendments to the Merger Agreement. The Merger Agreement is hereby amended as follows:

 

1.1 The definition of “Earnout Acquiror Options” in Section 1.01 of the Merger Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:

 

Earnout Acquiror RSUs” means, with respect to each holder of Company Options (other than the Former Service Provider Options) issued and outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, the number of restricted stock units with respect to shares of Acquiror Common Stock set forth opposite the name of such holder of Company Options in the Spreadsheet under the heading “Earnout Acquiror RSUs” (subject to update, to the extent necessary, pursuant to Section 3.11), that will be issued in accordance with Section 3.04 and that are subject to vesting in accordance with Section 3.04(e). For the avoidance of doubt, each Earnout Acquiror RSU shall represent the right to receive, upon vesting and settlement of such Earnout Acquiror RSU, one share of Acquiror Common Stock. As set forth on the Spreadsheet, there would be an aggregate of 554,268 Earnout Acquiror RSUs if the Closing were to occur on the date hereof.

 

1.2 Each reference to “Earnout Acquiror Options” in the Merger Agreement is hereby amended by replacing each such reference with a reference to “Earnout Acquiror RSUs”.

 

1.3 Section 3.04(a) of the Merger Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

 

At the Effective Time, pursuant to the terms of the Company Option Plans and as set forth on the Spreadsheet (as updated, to the extent necessary, pursuant to Section 3.11), each Company Option, whether vested or unvested, that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and held by an individual that, at such time, provides services to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries shall, without any action on the part of the holder thereof, be canceled and automatically converted into (i) the right to receive an amount of cash equal to the Closing Per Option Cash Consideration in respect of such Company Option, (ii) a Base Acquiror Option, with respect to the number of shares of Acquiror Common Stock and with the exercise price set forth on the Spreadsheet (as updated, to the extent necessary, pursuant to Section 3.11) and otherwise on the same terms and conditions as were applicable to such Company Option, and (iii) Earnout Acquiror RSUs, with respect to the number of shares of Acquiror Common Stock set forth on the Spreadsheet (as updated, to the extent necessary, pursuant to Section 3.11), on the terms described in Section 3.04(e); provided that the exercise price and the number of shares of Acquiror Common Stock purchasable pursuant to each Base Acquiror Option shall be determined in a manner consistent with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code and the applicable regulations promulgated thereunder. Additionally, the adjustments to the Company Options as described in this section are intended to comply with Section 424 of the Code, to the extent applicable. The Base Acquiror Options that are not Time-Vesting Options (as defined below) shall be fully vested. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Base Acquiror Options denoted as “Time-Vesting” on the Spreadsheet (the “Time-Vesting Options”) shall be unvested as of the Effective Time and shall vest in equal annual installments on the first four anniversaries of the Closing Date, subject to the continued employment of the holder thereof through the applicable anniversary; provided that the Time-Vesting Options shall accelerate in full upon a Change in Control (as defined in the 2017 Stock Option Plan of the Company), subject to the continued employment of the holder thereof through such a Change in Control event.

 

 

 

 

1.4 Section 3.04(d) of the Merger Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

 

At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any need of any further corporate action, Acquiror shall assume the Company Stock Plans, with the result that the Acquiror may issue or deliver shares of Acquiror Common Stock after the Effective Time pursuant to the exercise of the Base Acquiror Options and the delivery of Earnout Acquiror RSUs under the Company Stock Plans or any other plan of Acquiror or any of its affiliates.

 

1.5 Section 3.04(e) of the Merger Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

 

With respect to the Earnout Acquiror RSUs, (i) fifty percent (50%) of the Earnout Acquiror RSUs shall vest if, at any time prior to the Forfeiture Date, the threshold set forth in Section 3.10(a) is met, and (ii) the remaining fifty percent (50%) of the Earnout Acquiror RSUs shall vest if, at any time prior to the Forfeiture Date, the threshold set forth in Section 3.10(b) is met, in each case, subject to Section 3.10(c), Section 3.10(d) and Section 3.10(h), mutatis mutandis; provided that the Earnout Acquiror RSUs shall become immediately vested upon an Acceleration Event. Any Earnout Acquiror RSUs that remain outstanding and unvested on the Forfeiture Date shall be forfeited on the Forfeiture Date. The shares of Acquiror Common Stock underlying any Earnout Acquiror RSUs that vest shall be settled and provided to the holders thereof within thirty (30) days following such vesting.

 

Section 2. Effect of Amendment. This Amendment shall not constitute, or be construed to constitute, an amendment or waiver of any provision of the Merger Agreement not expressly amended and/or waived herein.

 

Section 3. Full Force and Effect; Conflicts; Severability. Other than as expressly modified pursuant to this Amendment, all of the terms, conditions and other provisions of the Merger Agreement shall continue to be in full force and effect in accordance with their respective terms. No reference to this Amendment need be made in any instrument or document making reference to the Merger Agreement and any reference to the Merger Agreement in any such instrument or document shall be deemed a reference to the Merger Agreement as amended hereby. This Amendment shall apply and be effective only with respect to the provisions of the Merger Agreement specifically referred to herein. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this Amendment shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of this Amendment.

December 16, 2020 INVESTOR UPDATE \

 
 

1 This presentation is provided for informational purposes only to assist interested parties in evaluating a potential business co mbination (the “proposed business combination”) between CarLotz , Inc. (“ CarLotz ”) and Acamar Partners Acquisition Corp. (“ Acamar Partners”) and related transactions and for no other purpose. No representations or warranties, express or implied are given in, or in respect of, this presentation. To the fullest extent permitted by law, in no circumstances will CarLotz , Acamar Partners or any of their respective subsidiaries, stockholders, affiliates, representatives, partners, directors, officers, e mp loyees, advisers or agents be responsible or liable for any direct, indirect or consequential loss or loss of profit arising from the use of this presentation, its contents, its omissions, reli anc e on the information contained within it, or on opinions communicated in relation thereto or otherwise arising in connection the rewith. Industry and market data used in this presentation have been obtained from third - party industry publications and sources as well as from research reports prepared for other purposes. Neither CarLotz nor Acamar Partners has independently verified the data obtained from these sources and cannot assure you of the data’s accuracy or comp le teness. This data is subject to change. In addition, this presentation does not purport to be all - inclusive or to contain all of the information that may be required to make a full analysis of CarLotz or the proposed business combination. Viewers of this presentation should each make their own evaluation of CarLotz and of the relevance and adequacy of the information and should make such other investigations as they deem necessary. Forward Looking Statements Information in this presentation represents current expectations relating to transaction structure and is subject to further dis cussion and negotiation of definitive documentation in its entirety. This presentation includes “forward - looking statements” within the meaning of the “safe harbor” provisions of the U.S. Private S ecurities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward - looking statements may be identified by the use of words such as “estimate,” “p lan,” “project,” “forecast,” “intend,” “will,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “seek,” “target” or other similar expressions that predict or indicate future events or trends or that are not statements of historical matter s. These forward - looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding estimates and forecasts of financial and performance metrics, projections of market opportunity and market share, expectations and timing related to commercial product launches, potential benefits of the transaction and the potential success of CarLotz ’ strategy, and expectations related to the terms and timing of the transaction. These statements are based on various assumpti ons , whether or not identified in this presentation, and on the current expectations of CarLotz ’ and Acamar Partners’ management and are not predictions of actual performance. These forward - looking statements are provided for illustrat ive purposes only and are not intended to serve, and must not be relied on by any investor, as a guarantee, assurance, predic tio n or definitive statement of fact or probability. Actual events and circumstances are difficult or impossible to predict and will differ from the underlying assumptions. Many actual events and cir cumstances are beyond the control of CarLotz and Acamar Partners. These forward - looking statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including: ( i ) changes in business, market, financial, political and legal conditions; (ii) the inability of the parties to successfully or timely consummate the proposed business combinatio n, including the risk that any required regulatory approvals are not obtained, are delayed or are subject to unanticipated condi tio ns that could adversely affect the combined company or the expected benefits of the proposed business combination or that the approval of the stockholders of Acamar Partners or CarLotz is not obtained; (iii) failure to realize the anticipated benefits of the proposed business combination; (iv) risks relating to the uncertainty of the projected financial information with respect to CarLotz ; (v) risks related to CarLotz ’ business and the timing of projected business milestones; (vi) the effects of competition on CarLotz ’ future business; (vii) the impact of the Covid - 19 pandemic or future outbreaks of a similar nature on the business and operation s of CarLotz ; (viii) the number of redemption requests made by Acamar Partners’ public stockholders; (ix) the ability of Acamar Partners or the combined company to issue equity or equity - linked securities in connection with the proposed business combinatio n or in the future, and those factors discussed in documents of Acamar Partners filed on or prior to the date of this presentation, or to be filed, with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SE C” ). If any of these risks materialize or our assumptions prove incorrect, actual results could differ materially from the results implied by thes e f orward - looking statements. There may be additional risks that neither Acamar Partners nor CarLotz presently know or that Acamar Partners and CarLotz currently believe are immaterial that could also cause actual results to differ from those contained in the forward - looking statements. In addition, forward - looking statements reflect Acamar Partners’ and CarLotz ’ expectations, plans or forecasts of future events and views as of the date of this presentation. Acamar Partners and CarLotz anticipate that subsequent events and developments will cause Acamar Partners’ and CarLotz ’ assessments to change. However, while Acamar Partners and CarLotz may elect to update these forward - looking statements in the future, each of Acamar Partners and CarLotz specifically disclaims any obligation to do so. These forward - looking statements should not be relied upon as representing Acamar Partners’ and CarLotz ’ assessments as of any date subsequent to the date of this presentation. Accordingly, you should not place undue reliance on t he forward - looking statements. Use of Projections and Description of Key Partnerships This presentation contains projected financial information with respect to CarLotz . Such projected financial information constitutes forward - looking information, is included for illustrative purposes only and s hould not be relied upon as necessarily being indicative of future results. The assumptions and estimates underlying such pro jec ted financial information are inherently uncertain and are subject to a wide variety of significant business, economic, competiti ve and other risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in the forward - looki ng financial information. Actual results may differ materially from the results contemplated by the projected financial information contained in this presentation, and the inclusion of such information in this presenta tio n should not be regarded as a representation by any person that the results reflected in such projections will be achieved. The independent auditors of Acamar Partners and of CarLotz did not audit, review, compile or perform any procedures with respect to the projections for the purpose of their inclusion i n this presentation, and accordingly, neither of them expressed an opinion or provided any other form of assurance with respect th ereto for the purpose of this presentation. Financial Information; Non - GAAP Financial Measures The financial information and data contained in this presentation has not been audited and does not conform to Regulation S - X. A ccordingly, such information and data may not be included in, may be adjusted in or may be presented differently in, any prox y s tatement, registration statement or prospectus to be filed by Acamar Partners with the SEC. Some of the financial information and data contained in this presentation, such as EBITDA and EBITDA margin, have no t b een prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). EBITDA is defined as net ear nin gs (loss) before interest expense, income tax expense (benefit), depreciation and amortization. Acamar Partners and CarLotz believe these non - GAAP measures of financial results provide useful information to management and investors regarding certain f inancial and business trends relating to CarLotz ’ financial condition and results of operations. Acamar Partners and CarLotz believe that the use of these non - GAAP financial measures provides an additional tool for investors to use in evaluating projected operating results and trends in a nd in comparing CarLotz ’ financial measures with other similar companies, many of which present similar non - GAAP financial measures to investors. Managem ent does not consider these non - GAAP measures in isolation or as an alternative to financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP. The principal limitation of these non - GAAP financ ial measures is that they exclude significant expenses and income that are required by GAAP to be recorded in CarLotz ’ financial statements. In addition, they are subject to inherent limitations as they reflect the exercise of judgments by management about which expense and income are excluded or included in determining these non - GAAP financ ial measures. In order to compensate for these limitations, management presents non - GAAP financial measures in connection with G AAP results. CarLotz is not providing a reconciliation of projected EBITDA for full years 2020 - 2023 to the most directly comparable measure prepared in accordance with GAAP because CarLotz is unable to provide this reconciliation without unreasonable effort due to the uncertainty and inherent difficulty of predic ti ng the occurrence, the financial impact and the periods in which the adjustments may be recognized. For the same reasons, CarLotz is unable to address the probable significance of the unavailable information, which could be material to future results. You s hould review CarLotz ’ audited financial statements which will be included in the Registration Statement relating to the proposed business combination. In addition, all CarLotz historical financial information included herein is preliminary and subject to change. Additional Information About the Proposed Business Combination and Where To Find It This communication is being made in respect of the proposed merger transaction involving Acamar Partners and CarLotz. Acamar Partn ers has filed a registration statement on Form S - 4 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), which includes a prelim inary proxy statement of Acamar Partners, a preliminary prospectus of Acamar Partners and a preliminary consent solicitation statement of CarLotz, and will file other documents with the SEC regar din g the proposed transaction. A definitive proxy statement/prospectus/consent solicitation statement will also be sent to the s toc kholders of Acamar Partners and CarLotz, seeking any required stockholder approval. Before making any voting or investment decision, investors and security holders of Acamar Partners and CarLotz are urged to c are fully read the entire registration statement and proxy statement/prospectus/consent solicitation statement, when they become ava ilable, and any other relevant documents filed with the SEC, as well as any amendments or supplements to these documents, because they will contain important information about the proposed transaction. Th e documents filed by Acamar Partners with the SEC may be obtained free of charge at the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. In addi tio n, the documents filed by Acamar Partners may be obtained free of charge from Acamar Partners at www.acamarpartners.com.

INVESTING IN ANY SECURITIES DESCRIBED HEREIN HAS NOT BEEN APPROVED OR DISAPPROVED BY THE SEC OR ANY OTHER REGULATORY AUTHORITY NOR HAS ANY AUTHORITY PASSED UPON OR ENDORSED THE MERITS OF THE OFFERING OR THE ACCURACY OR ADEQUACY OF THE INFORMATION CONTAINED HEREIN.

CarLotz, Inc. Announces Record Third Quarter 2020 Financial Results

 

Third Quarter Record Revenue of $29.8 million along with

 

Record Gross Profit, GPU, Contribution Margin and CMU

 

Raising Fourth Quarter Revenue and Gross Profit Guidance

 

Reiterate 2021 – 2023 Projections

 

 

December 16, 2020 – Richmond, VA – CarLotz, Inc., (“CarLotz” or the “Company”), a leading consignment-to-retail used vehicle marketplace, which recently announced it would become a public company via a merger with special purpose acquisition company Acamar Partners Acquisition Corp. (“Acamar”) (Nasdaq: ACAM), today announced financial results for the third quarter and nine month period ended September 30, 2020.

 

Michael Bor, Chief Executive Officer and Co-Founder of CarLotz, Inc, commented, “I am thrilled with our third quarter financial performance highlighted by our 12% increase in total revenue, 56% increase in gross profit, and 188% growth in contribution margin per unit, despite a COVID impacted backdrop. Our strong third quarter results are a testament to the team’s continued execution of our growth strategies combined with CarLotz’ differentiated positioning as the only consignment-to-retail sales operator in the used vehicle industry.”

 

Third Quarter Financial Results

 

The Company’s third quarter 2020 net revenues increased 12% to $29.8 million from $26.5 million in the same period in 2019. This growth was driven by double-digit growth in retail and financing revenues. Gross profit increased $1.3 million, or 56%, to $3.6 million from $2.3 million in the prior year period. Retail gross profit per unit (“GPU”) increased 71% to $2,181 from $1,276 in the prior year period. Contribution margin per unit increased 188% to $1,883 in the third quarter 2020 versus $655 in the third quarter of 2019 primarily attributed to maintaining industry leading CAC efficiency while increasing sales and gross profits.

 

“As we look to the fourth quarter and to 2021, we’ve never been more confident in our ability to drive to our stated goals,” commented Mr. Bor. We are raising our outlook for the fourth quarter, and reiterating our financial projections for 2021 and out to 2023. Our inventory sourcing relationships are stronger than ever and our recent surge in inventory is driving sales and profits, providing proof of our ability to support our future growth. We have made significant strides operationally increasing our confidence in our plans to roll out our national hub-based growth strategy and execute on our ambitious long-term plans. We’ve also recently added key leadership roles to our team, including a CMO, GC and CCO, and CFO with decades of experience in retail and in our industry. Along with other key hires, we have a growing team that is ready to execute on our plan. We couldn’t be more excited to embark on our national expansion. With a mixture of new leases and LOI’s signed on a number of new locations already, we are gearing up for a lot of activity in the first half of next year.”

 

Luis Solorzano, Chief Executive Officer of Acamar Partners, commented: “CarLotz’ impressive third quarter results underscore our conviction in the business and further supports our investment philosophy of growth and value creation. CarLotz’ inventory sourcing relationships are stronger than ever, and we have increased confidence in its national hub-based growth strategy and long term plans. Our team at Acamar Partners continues to work closely with the CarLotz team and expects to close the transaction in early first quarter 2021.”

Starting on page 2, with respect to the numbers, I am thrilled with our third quarter results highlighted by record revenue, gross profit, gross profit per unit, contribution margin and contribution margin per unit. We are also raising our previously communicated outlook for fourth quarter revenue and gross profit, and reiterating our financial projections for 2021 and out to 2023. Our inventory sourcing relationships are stronger than ever, and we have made significant strides operationally to increase our confidence in our plans to roll out our national hub-based growth strategy and execute on our ambitious long-term plans. With several new hub locations at the lease and LOI stage and significant enhancements to our already experienced team that we’ll discuss shortly, we are set up for a fantastic kick-off to 2021. With the refiling of Acamar Partners’ S4 today, we look forward to completing our contemplated merger as planned in early Q1.

 

 

 

 

Turning now to a review of our third quarter 2020 results on page 3 of the presentation. Along with record and better than expected revenue, we generated significant operating leverage in the model during the quarter. And all of the growth that we have driven this year is “same-hub” growth as we did not add new hubs this year.

 

Net revenues increased 12% to $29.8 million, exceeding our expectation. This growth was driven by double-digit growth in the retail and financing revenues. Retail revenue growth was driven by increased average selling prices primarily from a shift in vehicle mix to slightly higher-end vehicles from some new accounts that we have added over the last twelve months, as well as continued growth of F&I penetration and dollars.

 

Turning to gross profit: Gross profit dollars increased 56% year over year to 3.6 million dollars, which was a record level for the company. Revenue increase 12% driven by increased F&I penetration along with increased buyer and seller economics and improved wholesale performance, all of which drove gross profit per unit higher by 71% to $2,181. We also achieved record contribution margin per unit of $1,883 versus $655 in the third quarter of 2019, representing 188% growth, primarily attributed to higher GPU and lower CAC due to the maturing of our hubs.

 

On GPU – while we achieved record levels and 71% year over year growth, GPU was below our expectation due largely to an important strategic initiative around inventory which I will explain in a minute.

 

Importantly, our customer acquisition cost declined by over 50% as we are becoming more efficient with our marketing efforts and our customer acquisition costs remain some of the lowest amongst our peers.

 

These were record results for CarLotz representing tremendous growth and I’m very proud of our team that made this happen. We have the best team in the industry from those in the hubs working on vehicles, working with guests, consulting with our clients, to those ensuring the business runs smoothly at our corporate office and it’s a testament to their focus and perseverance that we’ve been able to drive these results in a year tainted by this horrible pandemic that has so affected this country.

 

 

 

 

I’ll now circle back to a key strategic initiative that we undertook more than half way through the third quarter and that will continue through Q4 and into next year. As you can see on page 4 of our presentation, 2020 has been a very unusual year with Covid-19 which resulted in historic lows in inventory towards the end of Q3. As we mentioned before, we have several levers that we can pull in this business to scale up rapidly, and we took two key actions contributing to a significant rebound in inventory to record levels.

 

The smaller contributor to the surge in inventory was the decision to begin buying inventory selectively, which accounted for approximately 400 units, both competitively at auction and from some of our commercial accounts, to maintain a minimum supply. It was the right decision for our business in Q3 and we have since returned this sourcing channel to more normalized levels.

 

In relation to the second action, this year we developed an important new relationship with a rapidly growing strategic national account that will help us grow as we expand our hubs. In late Q3, we also saw the opportunity to enhance our relationship with this strategic sourcing partner and intake significant quantities of inventory, which made up the majority of the additional surge of inflow. We saw many advantages to this approach:

1. First, It is an important step toward preparing for our national rollout next year.
2. Second, It secured our near-term visibility on inventory while driving sales, units and gross profit which started in the third quarter, and will continue in the fourth quarter.
3. Third, it proved to this new account that our model can handle the volume which will continue to drive our results in 2021 and beyond.
4. And lastly, a unique element of this collaboration is a profit-sharing program that shares the risk and reward of the value we provide, “the lift,” versus our traditional flat fee consignment approach that most of our accounts choose. We’ve seen this program provide unit economics that in Q2 and Q3 were comparable to our fee-based arrangements while being able to deliver significant growth to our business. This profit sharing arrangement does have the potential to apply pressure to our GPU if the vehicles take longer to sell, if we invest more in reconditioning, and/or if we ship them in from farther away. In Q4, we have experienced this pressure on GPU as a result of these constraints. We believe these constraints will alleviate as we open new hubs closer to where this account holds the inventory, thus improving hub throughput and cycle time as well as reducing transportation distance and cost.

 

We do anticipate continuing to grow this strategic partnership alongside scaling all of our other fee-based commercial sourcing accounts and it is an exciting development as we head into 2021.

 

 

 

 

The result of this inventory surge was confirmation that we can source enough inventory to supply our hub growth in 2021. This is an important point that I want to underline and it’s highlighted on page 5 of the presentation. From September through November, we sourced on average almost 1,500 vehicles per month, which on a run rate basis is over 90% of the total inventory we need to source in 2021 excluding the initial inventory with which we seed the new hubs. We have now demonstrated that the inventory to feed our 2021 growth model is available.

 

However, the rapid increase in inventory has put operational & financial strain on the system:

(1) One, we are seeing higher than normal shipping and reconditioning costs, as we sourced vehicles from further afield than normal, and pushed our reconditioning capacity to its limit both in terms of number and range of vehicles we took in. This strain will clearly alleviate as we open new hubs, and hubs closer to where the inventory is.
(2) Two, it’s just harder to process all of those cars in fewer locations in such a short period of time with less staff than we would normally have for that level of volume, which ultimately impacts speed of reconditioning and speed to market and sale.
(3) And three, our mix of business in Q4 includes the tail end of the Q3 inventory surge, which due to its characteristics, drives GPU lower the longer it takes to sell.

 

Which brings us to looking now at the fourth quarter outlook on page 6 of the presentation: the strong third quarter momentum is continuing, and we see similar financial results for Q4 including being ahead of the original plan and hitting records for:

· Retail units sold
· Total revenue
· gross profit
· And contribution margin

 

Given the level of inventory and momentum that we now have, our revenue and gross profit both in terms of dollars and growth rates are expected to nicely exceed that of the third quarter and our expectations. GPU will see increased pressure in Q4 for the reasons explained earlier, but despite those pressures, we are still delivering 30-35% growth in GPU over last year.

 

Total gross profit and total contribution margin, which given our asset light model we view as more important metrics, are on track to exceed expectations and post new records for us. In fact, page 7 highlights that our metrics continue to compare favorably to our auto tech disrupting peers and we’re frankly thrilled at the momentum we are seeing across the sector as consumers continue to gain comfort transacting with a new kind of auto dealership. You’ll see on page 8 that, while Covid definitely had a meaningful impact on the business early in the year, we were fortunate to snap back and then continue to build momentum as we launch our ambitious growth plan into 2021.

 

 

 

 

On page 9, with respect to 2021, we couldn’t be more excited to embark on our national expansion. With our hub growth plan under way, the team enhanced with significant new experienced professionals, the inventory coming in fast, and our back office and tech transformations under way, we’ve never been more confident in our ability to drive to our stated goals for the coming year and beyond.

 

As you can see on slide 10, with a mixture of new leases and LOI’s signed on a number of new locations already, we’re gearing up for a lot of activity in Q1 and Q2 that should put us in a great position to have three to four new hubs open each quarter. The new locations are in fantastic markets that will not only open up our business model to significantly more units but also work to decrease the shipping costs of the vehicles that are already being assigned to our hubs thereby adding value to our clients.

 

Additionally, as you can see on page 11, we are very excited about the recent joining of Michael Chapman, our new CMO formerly at The Martin Agency, Becca Polak, our new GC and CCO and a person highly regarded in the industry with years of experience at KAR Global and TradeRev, and Tom Stoltz, our new CFO with decades of experience in retail and in our industry. We have also made strategic senior hires in real estate, marketing, FP&A, growth and development, processing center operations, and in our new hubs, and we now have a team that is very excited and ready to execute on our expansion plan.

 

We also are thrilled at the experienced and diverse group of accomplished professionals highlighted on page 12, all of whom qualify as independent directors, that have agreed to join our board and help guide us into the future. We expect a high level of engagement with our board, and I’m excited for the capabilities and ideas they bring to our company.

 

Page 13 further highlights our exciting investment opportunity. In terms of timing, we refiled our S4 today and expect it to be effective in the next several days. This puts us in a position to close this deal in early Q1 and transition from trading as ACAM to trading as LOTZ.

 

In closing, it’s never been a better time to be a part of the CarLotz team. With record revenues, gross profit, and contribution margin running through the system, enhanced capacity underway to grow, a seasoned team guiding the ship and clients excited to work with us, we are thrilled about pushing hard into 2021.
