Positive Outlook
- Total revenue $146.1 to $149.1 million
- Non-GAAP operating income $38.7 to $40.7 million
- Non-GAAP EPS $0.26 to $0.28
- Total revenue $546 to $549 million
- Non-GAAP operating income $143.5 to $145.5 million
Challenges Ahead
- Guidance for the fourth quarter and full-year 2020 excludes the effects of significant COVID-19 resurgences, including the reintroduction of lockdowns and/or a slowed pace of recovery, that result in dealers and consumers materially changing their recent market behaviors or that cause us to enact measures to assist dealers, such as by offering billings relief.
- Guidance assumes that our pace of paid dealer acquisition, churn, and expansion activity for the remainder of the year will be in line with recent market behaviors.
- Guidance does not include any potential impact of foreign currency exchange gains or losses.
- CarGurus has not reconciled its non-GAAP operating income guidance to GAAP operating income, or its non-GAAP EPS guidance to GAAP EPS, because stock-based compensation, amortization of intangible assets, acquisition-related expenses, and restructuring expenses, the reconciling items between such GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures, cannot be reasonably predicted
- Cannot be determined without unreasonable effort.
