KAR Auction Services Earnings Call Transcript Summary of Q3 2025
OPENLANE reported a strong Q3 2025 with consolidated revenue up 8% and adjusted EBITDA of $87 million (up 17%), driven by marketplace strength and finance segment growth. Marketplace GMV rose to $7.3 billion (+9%) with dealer-to-dealer volumes up 14% (U.S. growth in the high teens), auction fee revenue +20% and marketplace adjusted EBITDA +22%. The Finance segment grew average managed receivables to $2.4 billion (+11%), maintained a low loan loss rate (1.6%) and finance adjusted EBITDA +12%. Management highlighted ongoing market-share gains in U.S. dealer-to-dealer, product/technology innovations (including AI features like Audio Boost), and cross-sell opportunities with AFC (floor plan finance). Cash/liquidity: $119 million cash and >$400 million revolver capacity. Capital actions: repurchase of ~53% of Series A convertible preferred shares closed in Q4 (funded by a term loan), which reduces fully diluted shares by ~19 million but increases debt by $550 million. Management raised full-year 2025 adjusted EBITDA guidance to $328M–$333M (from $310M–$320M). Risks noted include lease/credit cycles, tariffs and macro uncertainty; management expects commercial/lease return volumes to inflect in early 2026 and continues to target a rolling 12-month adjusted free cash flow conversion ~75%.
