Margin And Earnings Shortfall RiskRetail gross profit per unit and adjusted EBITDA missed expectations due to higher depreciation, reduced shipping revenue, and increased costs, putting near-term margin expansion at risk.

Reconditioning Cost PressuresElevated reconditioning costs, driven by less-productive sites, are increasing labor hours and depressing retail gross profit per unit, creating a clear execution headwind.
