Forward Guidance
CarGurus anticipates total revenue, non-GAAP operating income, and non-GAAP earnings per share for the third quarter 2021 to be in the following ranges:
Positive Outlook
- Total revenue $210 million to $216 million
- Non-GAAP operating income $53 million to $57 million
- Non-GAAP EPS $0.30 to $0.32
- The third quarter 2021 non-GAAP earnings per share calculation assumes 120.1 million diluted weighted-average common shares outstanding.
- The assumptions that are built into guidance for the third quarter 2021 regarding our pace of paid dealer acquisition, churn, and expansion activity for the relevant period are based on recent market behaviors and industry conditions.
Challenges Ahead
- Guidance for the third quarter 2021 excludes the effects of significant COVID-19 resurgences, including the reintroduction of lockdowns and/or a slowed pace of recovery, or other macro-level industry issues that result in dealers and consumers materially changing their recent market behaviors or that cause us to enact additional measures to assist dealers, such as offering further fee reductions or waivers.
- Guidance also excludes the potential impact of transactions related to CarGurus’ Instant Max Cash Offer offering
- Guidance also excludes adjustments to the carrying value of redeemable noncontrolling interests resulting from potential changes in the redemption value of such interests
- Guidance also excludes any potential impact of foreign currency exchange gains or losses.
- CarGurus has not reconciled its guidance for non-GAAP operating income to GAAP operating income or non-GAAP consolidated EPS to GAAP consolidated EPS because stock-based compensation, amortization of intangible assets, acquisition-related expenses, and adjustments to the carrying value of redeemable noncontrolling interests resulting from changes in the redemption value of such interests, the reconciling items between such GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures, cannot be reasonably predicted due to, as applicable, the timing, amount, valuation and number of future employee equity awards, and the uncertainty relating to the timing, frequency and effect of acquisitions and the significance of the resulting acquisition-related expenses, including adjustments to the carrying value of redeemable noncontrolling interests resulting from potential changes in the redemption value of such interests, and therefore cannot be determined without unreasonable effort.
