All statements other than statements of historical facts contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q including statements regarding our future results of operations or financial condition, business strategy and plans and objectives of management for future operations, are forward-looking statements.

These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements concerning the following:
our expectations regarding our revenue, operating expenses and other operating results, including our key metrics and our ability to meet previously announced earnings guidance;
our ability to effectively manage our growth and expand our business;
our ability to grow the number of participants on our marketplace platform;
our ability to acquire new customers and successfully retain existing customers and capture a greater share of wholesale transactions from our existing customers;

You should not rely on forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. The outcome of the events described in these forward-looking statements is subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors described under the header “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Moreover, we operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment.

achieved or occur, and actual results, events or circumstances could differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements.
In addition, statements that “we believe” and similar statements reflect our beliefs and opinions on the relevant subject.

While we believe that information provides a reasonable basis for these statements, that information may be limited or incomplete. Our statements should not be read to indicate that we have conducted an exhaustive inquiry into, or review of, all relevant information. These statements are inherently uncertain, and investors are cautioned not to unduly rely on these statements.
The forward-looking statements made in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q relate only to events as of the date on which the statements are made, and we undertake no obligation to update them to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q or to reflect new information or the occurrence of unanticipated events, except as required by law.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1.    Nature of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Nature of Business – ACV Auctions Inc. (the "Company" or "ACV") operates in one industry segment, providing a wholesale auction marketplace to facilitate business-to-business used vehicle sales between a selling dealership (“Seller”) and a buying dealership (“Buyer”). The marketplace encompasses the digital marketplaces, remarketing centers, data services, and data and technology.
Customers using the marketplace are licensed automotive dealerships or other commercial automotive enterprises. At the election of the customer purchasing a vehicle, the Company can arrange third-party transportation services for the delivery of the purchased vehicle through its wholly owned subsidiary, ACV Transportation LLC ("ACV Transport"). The Company can also provide the customer financing for the purchased vehicle through its wholly owned subsidiary, ACV Capital LLC (“ACV Capital”). ACV also provides data services that offer insights into the condition and value of used vehicles for transactions both on and off the Company's marketplace, which help dealerships, their end customers, and commercial partners make more informed decisions to transact with confidence and efficiency. Customers using data services are licensed automotive dealerships or other commercial automotive enterprises. Services are primarily provided in the United States and certain data services are also provided internationally. Services are supported by the Company’s operations which are primarily in North America and India.
Basis of Consolidation – The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of ACV Auctions Inc. and all of its controlled subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Basis of Preparation – The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and pursuant to the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). The Company has condensed or omitted certain information and notes normally included in complete annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. These financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the Company's annual financial statements and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, which are necessary for the fair statement of the Company's financial information. The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should therefore be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, as filed with the SEC on February 23, 2026 (the "Annual Report"). As of June 30, 2026, there have been no material changes in our significant accounting policies from those that were disclosed in the Annual Report on Form 10-K, unless otherwise discussed below.  Any reference in these notes to applicable guidance is meant to refer to the authoritative GAAP as found in the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) and Accounting Standards Updates (“ASU”) of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”).
Seasonality – The volume of vehicles sold through auctions held on ACV's marketplace platform fluctuates from quarter to quarter. This seasonality is caused by several factors, including holidays, weather, the seasonality of the retail market for used vehicles and the timing of federal tax returns, which affects the demand side of the vehicle auction industry. As a result, revenue and operating expenses related to volume will fluctuate accordingly on a quarterly basis. In the fourth quarter, we typically experience lower used vehicle auction volume as well as additional costs associated with the holidays. Seasonally depressed used vehicle auction volume typically continues during the winter months through the beginning of the first quarter. Typical seasonality trends may not be observed in periods where other external factors more significantly impact the industry.

2.    Fair Value Measurement
Fair value accounting is applied for all financial assets and liabilities and non-financial assets and liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the condensed consolidated financial statements on a recurring basis. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.
Assets and liabilities recorded at fair value in the condensed consolidated financial statements are categorized based upon the level of judgment associated with the inputs used to measure their fair value. Hierarchical levels, which are directly related to the amount of subjectivity, associated with the inputs to the valuation of these assets or liabilities are as follows:
Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.
Level 2: Inputs other than the quoted prices in active markets that are observable either directly or indirectly.
Level 3: Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data which require the Company to develop its own assumptions.
The Company’s financial instruments primarily consist of cash and cash equivalents, trade and finance accounts receivable and accounts payable. The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, trade and finance accounts receivable, and accounts payable approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of those instruments. The carrying values of the

Company's revolving credit facility and revolving warehouse facility were determined to approximate their fair values due to their duration and variable interest rates that approximate prevailing interest rates as of each reporting period.
The following tables present information about the Company’s financial assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, and indicate the fair value hierarchy of the valuation inputs utilized to determine such fair value (in thousands):

The Company classifies its highly liquid money market funds within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy because they are valued based on quoted market prices in active markets.
3.    Accounts Receivables & Allowance for Credit Losses
The Company maintains an allowance for credit losses that, in management’s judgment, reflects expected credit losses in the portfolio. A provision for credit losses is recorded to adjust the level of the allowance as deemed necessary by management.
Changes in the allowance for credit losses related to trade receivables for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 were as follows (in thousands):

On September 10, 2025, Tricolor Holdings, LLC, and certain of its affiliates (collectively, "Tricolor") filed a voluntary petition for relief under Chapter 7 of the United States Bankruptcy Code with the United States Bankruptcy court for the Northern District of Texas. During the quarter ending September 30, 2025, the Company recorded a provision for credit losses for the full amount of the floorplan finance receivables due from Tricolor. Tricolor accounted for $11.1 million and $18.7 million of the Company's finance receivable write-offs for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, respectively.
4.    Guarantees, Commitments and Contingencies
The Company provides certain guarantees to sellers in the marketplace in the ordinary course of business, which are accounted for under ASC 460, Guarantees as a general guarantee.
Vehicle Condition Guarantees – Sellers must attach a vehicle condition report in the marketplace for every auction; this vehicle condition report is used by Buyers to inform bid decisions. The Company offers guarantees to Sellers in qualifying situations where the Company performed a vehicle inspection and prepared the vehicle condition report. Sellers pay a fee in exchange for this guarantee. Such guarantees provide Sellers protection from paying remedies to Buyers related to a Buyer’s claim that the vehicle condition report did not accurately portray the condition of the vehicle purchased on the Marketplace. These guarantees provide the Company with the right to retain proceeds from the subsequent liquidation of vehicles covered under the guarantees. The guarantees are typically provided for 10 days after the successful sale of the vehicle on the Marketplace. The fair value of vehicle condition guarantees issued is estimated based on historical results and other qualitative factors. Vehicle condition guarantee revenue is recognized on the earlier of the guarantee expiration date or the guarantee settlement date. The maximum potential payment is the sale price of the vehicle. The total sale price of vehicles for which there was an outstanding guarantee was approximately $255.1 million and approximately $193.2 million at June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. The carrying amount of the liability included in Accrued other liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets was $2.2 million and $2.1 million at June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.
Price Guarantees – The Company provides Sellers with a price guarantee for vehicles to be sold on the marketplace from time to time. If a vehicle sells below the guaranteed price, the Company is responsible for paying the Seller the difference between the guaranteed price and the final sale price. The term of the guarantee is typically less than one week. No material unsettled price guarantees existed at June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025.
Litigation – The Company and its subsidiaries are subject in the normal course of business to various pending and threatened legal proceedings and matters in which claims for monetary damages are asserted. On an on-going basis, management, after consultation with legal counsel, assesses the Company's liabilities and contingencies in connection with such proceedings. For those matters where it is probable that the Company will incur losses and the amounts of the losses can be reasonably estimated, the Company records an expense and corresponding liability in its condensed consolidated financial statements. To the extent pending or threatened litigation could result in exposure in excess of the recorded liability, the amount of such excess is not currently estimable.

The compensation expense related to the unvested portion of restricted stock units was approximately $111.3 million at June 30, 2026. The unvested portion of compensation expense for restricted stock units is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.3 years.
During the second quarter of 2026, the Company's Board of Directors approved long-term incentive awards to certain of the Company's executive officers comprised of performance share units (“PSUs”), which may only be settled in shares of the Company’s Common Stock. The PSUs are subject to both service-based vesting conditions and a requirement that the relative total shareholder return ("rTSR") of the Company's Common Stock, measured against the Russell 2000, achieve at least the 25th percentile, at which point 50% of the award is earned, with a maximum earning potential of 200% if the 75th percentile or above is achieved (the “rTSR Condition”). The rTSR Condition is measured over a two-year performance period ending on December 31, 2027. The rTSR Condition earning potential is capped at 100% if the Company’s stock price is lower at the end of the performance period than at the beginning of such period. If the rTSR Condition is met at the end of the performance period, 50% of the award will vest in the first quarter of 2028, with the remaining 50% of the award vesting in the first quarter of 2029. In each circumstance, vesting is subject to the executive’s continued service with the Company until the time of vesting.
8.    Income Taxes
The Company had effective tax rates of approximately (7)% and 0% for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, and (6)% and (2)% for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The principal differences between the federal statutory rate and the effective tax rates are related to state taxes, foreign taxes and credits, and the non-recognition of tax benefits for certain entities in a loss position for which a full valuation allowance has been recorded.

10.    Segment Information
The Company’s Chief Executive Officer is the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) and is responsible for reviewing financial information presented on a segment basis for purposes of making operating decisions and assessing financial performance. The CEO reviews the financial information presented on a consolidated basis for purposes of allocating resources and evaluating the Company’s financial performance. Accordingly, the Company has determined that it operates in a single reporting segment (the “ACV segment”).
The ACV segment provides the marketplace to facilitate business-to-business used vehicle sales between a seller and a buyer. Customers using the marketplace are licensed automotive dealerships or other commercial automotive enterprises. At the election of the customer purchasing a vehicle, the Company can arrange third-party transportation services for the delivery of the purchased vehicle through its wholly owned subsidiary, ACV Transportation LLC. The Company can also provide the customer with financing for the purchased vehicle through its wholly owned subsidiary, ACV Capital LLC. ACV also provides data services that offer insights into the condition and value of used vehicles for transactions both on and off the Company's Marketplace. The ACV segment provides a wholesale auction marketplace to dealers and derives its revenues primarily from North America. The CODM assesses performance for the ACV segment and decides how to allocate resources based on net income (loss) that also is reported on the consolidated statement of operations as consolidated net income (loss). The CODM uses net income (loss) in budget versus actual analysis to measure performance and as a key input to make resource investment and management compensation decisions.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, revenue outside of the United States, based on the billing address of the customer, was not material. As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, long-lived assets located outside of the United States were not material.
11.    Stockholders Equity

In May 2026, our Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program authorizing up to $100.0 million in share repurchases (the “2026 Repurchase Program”). The 2026 Repurchase Program does not have an expiration date.

On May 12, 2026, the Company entered into an accelerated share repurchase agreement (the “ASR”) with Citibank, N.A. pursuant to which the Company paid $50.0 million and received an initial delivery of approximately $6.0 million shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Initial ASR Shares”), representing approximately 70% of the prepayment value based on the closing price at inception. The ASR was accounted for as two transactions: (1) a stock repurchase and (2) a forward contract classified as an equity instrument, with the delivery of the Initial ASR Shares immediately reducing weighted-average shares outstanding for both basic and diluted EPS. The Initial ASR Shares were retired upon delivery. The total number of shares to be repurchased by the Company pursuant to the ASR will be based on the volume-weighted average price of the Company’s common stock during the term of the ASR, less a discount, and subject to customary adjustments under the terms and conditions of the ASR agreement. Any incremental shares that may be delivered upon the final settlement of the ASR agreement will be reflected in basic and diluted shares outstanding at the time the shares are delivered. The transactions under the ASR agreement are expected to be completed no later than the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026.

Overview
Our mission is to build and enable the most trusted and efficient marketplace platform for buying and selling used vehicles with transparency and comprehensive data that was previously unimaginable.
We provide a highly efficient and vibrant marketplace platform for wholesale vehicle transactions and data services that offer transparent and accurate vehicle information to our customers. Our marketplace platform leverages data insights and technology to power our digital marketplace and data services, enabling our dealers and commercial partners to buy, sell, and value vehicles with confidence and efficiency. We strive to solve the challenges that the used automotive industry has faced for generations and provide powerful technology-enabled capabilities to our dealers and commercial partners who fulfill a critical role in the automotive ecosystem. We help dealers source and manage inventory and accurately price their vehicles as well as process payments, transfer titles, manage arbitrations, and finance and transport vehicles. Our marketplace platform encompasses:
Digital Marketplace. Connects buyers and sellers of wholesale vehicles in an intuitive and efficient manner. Our core digital marketplace offerings are auctions in varying formats, which facilitate real time transactions of wholesale vehicles, and are accessible across multiple platforms including mobile apps, desktop, and directly through API integration. We also offer transportation, financing and assurance services to facilitate the entire transaction journey.
Remarketing Centers. Provides an additional channel to provide dealers and commercial partners with auction services. At remarketing centers, vehicles may be auctioned onsite and/or launched into the digital marketplace. Additional services are offered at remarketing centers that are important to servicing commercial partners.
Data Services. Offers insights into the condition and value of used vehicles for transactions both on and off our marketplace and helps dealers, their end consumers, and commercial partners make more informed decisions and transact with confidence and efficiency. We enable dealers to manage their inventory and set pricing more effectively while turning vehicles faster and maximizing profit by leveraging predictive analytics informed by artificial intelligence, machine learning and market data.
Data and Technology. Underpins everything we do, and powers our vehicle inspections, comprehensive vehicle intelligence reports, digital marketplace, inventory management software, and operations automation.
We have historically generated the majority of our revenue from our digital marketplace where we earn auction and ancillary fees from both buyers and sellers in each case only upon a successful auction. Buyer auction fees are variable based on the price of the vehicle, while seller auction fees include a fixed auction fee and an optional fee for the elective condition report associated with the vehicle. We also earn ancillary fees through additional value-added services to buyers and sellers in connection with the auction.

Table of Contents
Our customers include participants on our marketplace platform and purchasers of our data services. Certain dealers and commercial partners purchase data services in connection with vehicle assessments, software subscriptions, and transactions that do not occur on our Marketplace. Our dealer customers include a majority of the top 100 used vehicle dealers in the United States.
Key Operating and Financial Metrics
We regularly monitor a number of operating and financial metrics in order to measure our current performance and estimate our future performance. Our business metrics may be calculated in a manner different than similar business metrics used by other companies.

Adjusted EBITDA$20.8 million$18.6 million$37.9  million$32.5  million
Marketplace Units
Marketplace Units is a key indicator of our potential for growth in Marketplace GMV and revenue. It demonstrates the overall engagement of our customers and our market share of wholesale transactions in the United States. We define Marketplace Units as the number of vehicles transacted within the applicable period. Marketplace Units transacted includes any vehicle that successfully reaches sold status, even if the auction is subsequently unwound, meaning the buyer or seller does not complete the transaction. These instances were immaterial in the periods presented. Marketplace Units exclude vehicles that were inspected by ACV, but not sold. Marketplace Units have generally increased as we have expanded our territory coverage, added new Marketplace Buyers and Marketplace Sellers and increased our share of wholesale transactions from existing customers. Because we only earn auction and ancillary fees in the case of a successful auction, Marketplace Units remain a critical driver of our revenue growth.
Marketplace GMV
Marketplace GMV is primarily driven by the volume and dollar value of Marketplace Units transactions. We believe that Marketplace GMV acts as an indicator of our success, signaling satisfaction of dealers and buyers, and the health, scale, and growth of our business. We define Marketplace GMV as the total dollar value of vehicles transacted within the applicable period, excluding any auction and ancillary fees. Because our definition of Marketplace Units does not include vehicles inspected but not sold, and because the value of the vehicle sold is not recognized as revenue, Marketplace GMV does not represent revenue earned by us. We expect that Marketplace GMV will continue to grow as Marketplace Units grow, though at a varying rate within a given applicable period, as Marketplace GMV is also impacted by the value of each vehicle transacted. In periods of declining used vehicle values, Marketplace GMV may decline even while Marketplace Units increase.
Marketplace Buyers
We define Marketplace Buyers as dealers or commercial partners with a unique customer ID that have transacted at least once in the last 12 months as a buyer on our marketplace platform. Marketplace Buyers include independent and franchise dealers buying on our marketplace.
Marketplace Sellers
We define Marketplace Sellers as dealers or commercial partners with a unique customer ID that have transacted at least once in the last 12 months as a seller on our marketplace platform. Marketplace Sellers include independent and franchise dealers selling on our marketplace, as well as commercial partners, consisting of commercial leasing companies, rental car companies, banks or other finance companies, who use our marketplace to sell their inventory.
We monitor the growth in both Marketplace Buyers and Marketplace Sellers as they each promote a more vibrant and healthy marketplace. We believe that our growth in Marketplace Sellers and Marketplace Buyers over time has been driven by the value proposition of our offerings, and our sales and marketing success, including our ability to attract new
18

Table of Contents
dealers and commercial partners to our marketplace platform. Based on our current position in the market, we believe that we have significant opportunity to continue to increase the number of Marketplace Buyers and Marketplace Sellers.
Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted EBITDA is a performance measure that we use to assess our operating performance and the operating leverage in our business. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss), adjusted to exclude: depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation expense, interest (income) expense, provision for income taxes, and other one-time, non-recurring items, when applicable, such as acquisition-related and restructuring expenses. We monitor Adjusted EBITDA as a non-GAAP financial measure to supplement the financial information we present in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, to provide investors with additional information regarding our financial results. For further explanation of the uses and limitations of this measure and a reconciliation of our Adjusted EBITDA to the most directly comparable GAAP measure, net income (loss), please see “—Non-GAAP Financial Measures.”
We expect Adjusted EBITDA to fluctuate in the near term as we continue to invest in our business and improve over the long term as we achieve greater scale in our business and efficiencies in our operating expenses.
Factors Affecting Our Performance
We believe that the growth and future success of our business depend on many factors. While each of these factors presents significant opportunities for our business, they also pose important challenges that we must successfully address in order to sustain our growth, improve our results of operations, and increase profitability.
Increasing Marketplace Units
Increasing Marketplace Units is a key driver of our revenue growth. The transparency, efficiency and vibrancy of our marketplace is critical to our ability to grow our share of wholesale transactions from existing customers and attract new buyers and sellers to our marketplace platform. Failure to increase the number of Marketplace Units would adversely affect our revenue growth, operating results, and the overall health of our marketplace.
Grow Our Share of Wholesale Transactions from Existing Customers
Our success depends in part on our ability to grow our share of wholesale transactions from existing customers, increasing their engagement and spend on our marketplace platform. We remain in the early stages of penetrating our Marketplace Buyers’ and Sellers’ total number of wholesale transactions. As we continue to invest in our trusted and efficient marketplace platform, we expect that we will capture an increasing share of transactions from our existing buyers and sellers. Our ability to increase share from existing customers will depend on a number of factors, including our customers’ satisfaction with our marketplace platform, competition, pricing and overall changes in our customers’ engagement levels.
Add New Marketplace Buyers and Marketplace Sellers
We believe we have a significant opportunity to add new marketplace participants. As we expand our presence within our existing territories, we are able to drive increased liquidity and greater vehicle selection, which in turn improves our ability to attract new Marketplace Buyers and Marketplace Sellers. Additionally, we intend to add more commercial consignors to our marketplace platform and capture a greater share of vehicles in the wholesale market that are sold to dealers by commercial consignors through auctions and private sales.
Our ability to attract new Marketplace Buyers and Marketplace Sellers will depend on a number of factors including: the ability of our sales team to onboard dealers and commercial consignors onto our marketplace platform and ensure their satisfaction, the ability of our territory managers to build awareness of our brand, the ability of our vehicle condition inspectors, or VCIs, to cultivate relationships with our customers in their respective territories, and the effectiveness of our marketing efforts.

Grow Awareness for Our Offerings and Brand
Wholesale vehicle online penetration is in the early stages, lagging the consumer automotive market, and we expect more dealers and commercial partners to source and manage their inventory online. As the digitization of the wholesale automotive market accelerates, we believe that our digital marketplace is well positioned to capture a disproportionate share of that growth. We use targeted sales and marketing efforts to educate potential Marketplace Buyers and Marketplace Sellers as to the benefits of our offerings and drive adoption of our marketplace platform. Our ability to grow awareness of our offerings and brand depend on a number of factors, including:
Secure Trusted Supply. The more trusted supply on our marketplace, the more buyers we can attract to our marketplace platform.
Deepen Relationships with Dealers and Commercial Partners. We have a team of VCIs that regularly interacts with our customers, providing high-quality inspection services and developing strong customer relationships.
Drive Customer Loyalty. Our loyal customers and referrals serve as a highly effective customer acquisition tool, and help drive our growth in a given territory.
Grow Brand Awareness. We invest in promoting our brand via targeted marketing spend to increase customer awareness in the territories in which we operate.
Our future success is dependent on our ability to successfully grow our market presence and market and sell products to both new and existing customers.
Grow Value-Added and Data Services
We continue to drive customer adoption of our existing value-added and data services and introduce new and complementary products. Our ability to drive higher attachment rates of existing value-added services, such as ACV Transportation, ACV Capital, and ACV MAX will help grow our revenue. We continue to drive customer adoption of our data services such as our inventory management system, which enables dealers to accurately price wholesale and retail inventory while maximizing profit by leveraging predictive analytics informed by artificial intelligence. These data services enable our customers to make more informed inventory management decisions both on and off our digital marketplace. In addition, we will continue to focus on developing new products and services that enhance our marketplace platform in areas including new data-powered products. Our ability to drive customer adoption of these products and services is dependent on the pricing of our products, the offerings of our competitors and the effectiveness of our marketing efforts.
Investment in Growth
We are actively investing in our business. In order to support our future growth and expanded product offerings, we expect this investment to continue. We anticipate that our operating expenses will increase as we continue to build our sales and marketing efforts, expand our employee base and invest in our technology development. The investments we make in our marketplace platform are designed to grow our revenue opportunity and to improve our operating results in the long term, but these investments could also delay our ability to achieve or sustain profitability in the near term. Our success is dependent on making value-generative investments that support our future growth.
Used Car Demand
Our success depends in part on sufficient demand for used vehicles. Since early 2020 demand for cars has outpaced supply, which was impacted by global vehicle production challenges, and during this period, new car supply had a significant impact on the volume of wholesale vehicles available within our marketplace. More recently, new vehicle supply has begun to increase, although still below historical levels. However, this increase in new vehicle supply has been coupled with higher interest rates which has made both new and used vehicles more expensive for retail consumers utilizing financing. Used car demand will be in part dependent on the economic health of the retail consumer and their ability to afford a vehicle purchase, which may be impacted by macroeconomic and geopolitical conditions, including the impact of changes in trade policies.
Used vehicle sales are also seasonal. Sales typically peak late in the first quarter and early in the second quarter, with the lowest relative level of industry vehicle sales occurring in the fourth quarter. Due to our growth since launch, our sales patterns to date have not been entirely reflective of the general seasonality of the used vehicle market, but we expect this to normalize as our business matures. Seasonality also impacts used vehicle pricing, with used vehicles depreciating

at a faster rate in the last two quarters of each year and a slower rate in the first two quarters of each year. We may experience seasonal and other fluctuations in our quarterly results of operations, which may not fully reflect the underlying performance of our business. See the section titled “Seasonality” for additional information on the impacts of seasonality on our business.
Components of Results of Operations
Revenue
Marketplace and Service Revenue
We have historically generated the majority of our revenue from our digital marketplace where we earn auction and ancillary fees from both buyers and sellers, in each case only upon a successful auction. Our marketplace and service revenue consists principally of revenue earned from facilitating auctions and arranging for the transportation of vehicles purchased in such auctions.
We act as an agent when facilitating a vehicle auction through the marketplace. Auction and related fees charged to the buyer and seller are reported as revenue on a net basis, excluding the price of the auctioned vehicle in the transaction.
We act as a principal when arranging for the transportation of vehicles purchased on the marketplace and leverage our network of third-party transportation carriers to secure the arrangement. Transportation fees charged to the buyer are reported on a gross basis.
We also generate data services revenue through our True360 reports and ACV MAX inventory management software subscriptions and offer short-term inventory financing to eligible customers purchasing vehicles through the marketplace.
Customer Assurance Revenue
We also generate revenue by providing vehicle condition assurance and price guarantee products to our customers. Our Go Green offering to sellers provides assurance on the condition of certain vehicles sold on the marketplace, which is considered a guarantee under GAAP. This assurance option is only available for Go Green sellers on qualifying vehicles for which we have prepared the vehicle condition report. Our price guarantee products provide sellers with minimum guaranteed sales prices for certain vehicles sold on the marketplace. Customer assurance revenue is measured based upon the fair value of the guarantees that we provide.
Operating Expenses
Marketplace and Service Cost of Revenue
Marketplace and service cost of revenue consists of third-party transportation carrier costs, titles shipping costs, customer support, website hosting costs, inspection costs related to data services and various other costs. These costs include salaries, benefits, bonuses and related stock-based compensation expenses, which we refer to as personnel expenses. We expect our marketplace and service cost of revenue to continue to increase in absolute dollars as we continue to scale our business and introduce new product and service offerings.
Customer Assurance Cost of Revenue
Customer assurance cost of revenue consists of the costs related to satisfying claims against the vehicle condition and price guarantees.
Operations and Technology
Operations and technology expense consists of costs for wholesale auction inspections, personnel costs related to payments and titles processing, transportation processing, product and engineering and other general operations and technology expenses. These costs include personnel-related expenses and other allocated facility and office costs. We expect that our operations and technology expense will increase in absolute dollars as our business grows, particularly as we incur additional costs related to continued investments in our marketplace, transportation capabilities and other technologies.
21

Table of Contents
Selling, General and Administrative
Selling, general and administrative expense consists of costs resulting from sales, accounting, finance, legal, marketing, human resources, executive, and other administrative activities. These costs include personnel-related expenses, legal and other professional services expenses and other allocated facility and office costs. Also included in selling, general and administrative expense is advertising and marketing costs to promote our services. We expect that our selling, general and administrative expense will increase in absolute dollars as our business grows. However, we expect that our selling, general and administrative expense will decrease as a percentage of our revenue as our revenue grows over the longer term.
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation and amortization expense consists of depreciation of fixed assets, and amortization of acquired intangible assets and internal-use software.
Other Income (Expense)
Other income (expense) consists primarily of interest expense on our borrowings and interest earned on our marketable securities and cash and cash equivalents.
Provision for Income Taxes
Provision for income taxes consists of U.S. federal, state and foreign income taxes.

Marketplace and service revenue$189,247 $175,995 $13,252 %
The increase was primarily driven by an increase in other marketplace revenue which is earned from providing transportation and financing services. For the three months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2025, other marketplace revenue increased to $88.3 million from $75.4 million and auction marketplace revenue

Table of Contents
increased to $92.4 million from $92.3 million. The increase in other marketplace revenue was primarily related to an increase in the revenue earned from the transportation of vehicles due to an increase in transportation revenue per mile and an increase in the number of units transported. Increases in revenue per mile were driven by rising fuel costs being passed on to customers. The increase in auction marketplace revenue was driven by buy fee rate increases and volume increases. The volume of Marketplace Units sold on the marketplace platform increased to 211,472 for the three months ended June 30, 2026 from 210,429 for the comparable prior year period which is an indicator of increased overall customer engagement. The wholesale automotive industry continues to transition to digital transactions, with an increasing amount of customers transacting digitally versus at physical auction houses. This industry transition, and our position as a leader in the area of digital wholesale automotive auctions, continues to drive more business to our marketplace platform. The average total revenue per Marketplace Unit increased for the three months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2025 due to higher buyer rates and customers adding more optional ancillary services to the auction such as transportation services and financing services which resulted in increase to both auction marketplace and other marketplace revenue.

The increase was primarily driven by an increase in other customer assurance revenue due to an increase in units sold through our price guarantee sales and an increase in the estimated fair value per unit sold through the guarantee sale. Other customer assurance revenue increased to $6.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026 from $1.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025. Go Green assurance revenue also increased, driven by an increase in units that elected the Go Green offering. For the three months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2025, Go Green assurance revenue increased to $18.4 million from $16.2 million.

The increase primarily consisted of higher costs related to generating other marketplace revenue. Other marketplace cost of revenues increased to $63.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared to $52.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, due to an increase in the average cost per mile transported and an increase in units transported. Higher fuel costs drove the increase in the average cost per mile transported. For the three months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2025, total cost attributed to generating auction marketplace revenue increased to $17.0 million from $16.6 million. For the three months ended June 30, 2026, data services cost of revenue was $5.1 million, compared to $5.4 million in the comparable prior year period. Marketplace and service costs of revenues as a percentage of revenue increased during the three months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2025 due to a decrease in units sold at our physical auction locations which resulted in higher cost of revenue as a percentage of revenue on these units. Higher fuel costs associated with transporting vehicles to customers also contributed to the increase.

The increase was primarily driven by an increase in other customer assurance cost of revenue due to an increase in units sold through our price guarantee sales and an increase in the average cost per guarantee sale unit. Other customer assurance cost of revenue increased to $6.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared to $2.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 due primarily to an increase in costs incurred on the Company's price guarantee sales driven by an increase in units sold through our price guarantee sales and an increase in the average cost per guarantee sale unit in the current year compared to the prior period. Go Green assurance cost of revenue also increased, driven by an increase in the number of arbitration claims due to increased volume of completed auctions where the customer elected the Go Green offering. For the three months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2025, Go Green assurance cost of revenue increased to $15.6 million from $14.7 million. Customer assurance cost of revenue as a percentage of revenue increased during the three months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2025 due to the higher proportion of units sold through our price guarantee sale. Units sold through the guarantee sale generally have a higher cost of revenue as a percentage of revenue than units sold without a guarantee but we believe the guarantee sale units are still accretive to revenue and net income.

20262025

Marketplace and service revenue$371,457 $341,932 $29,525 %
The increase was primarily driven by an increase in other marketplace revenue which is earned from providing transportation and financing services. Auction marketplace revenue from our Marketplace Buyers and Marketplace Sellers increased as well. For the six months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2025, other marketplace revenue increased to $168.7 million from $143.1 million and auction marketplace revenue increased to $186.2 million from $182.3 million. The increase in other marketplace revenue was primarily related to an increase in the revenue earned from the transportation of vehicles due to an increase in transportation revenue per mile and an increase in the number of units transported. Increases in revenue per mile were driven by rising fuel costs being passed on to customers. The increase in auction marketplace revenue was driven by buy fee rate increases and volume increases. The volume of Marketplace Units sold on the marketplace platform increased to 424,964 for the six months ended June 30, 2026 from 418,454 for the comparable prior year period which is an indicator of increased overall customer engagement. The wholesale automotive industry continues to transition to digital transactions, with an increasing amount of customers transacting digitally versus at physical auction houses. This industry transition, and our position as a leader in the area of digital wholesale automotive auctions, continues to drive more business to our marketplace platform. The average total revenue per Marketplace Unit increased for the six months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2025 due to the aforementioned higher buyer fee rates and customers adding more optional ancillary services to the auction such as transportation services and financing services which resulted in an increase to both auction marketplace and other marketplace revenue.

The increase primarily consisted of higher costs related to generating other marketplace revenue. For the six months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2025, total cost attributed to generating other marketplace revenue increased to $120.9 million compared to $100.0 million, due to an increase in the average cost per mile transported and increase in units transported. Higher fuel costs drove the increase in the average cost per mile transported. For the six months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2025, total cost attributed to generating auction marketplace revenue increased to $34.8 million from $33.2 million. The increase in auction marketplace cost of revenue is due to increased units sold through our marketplace. Data services cost of revenue was $9.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 compared to $10.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025. Marketplace and services cost of revenues as a percentage of revenue increased during the six months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2025 due to a decrease in units sold at our physical auction locations which resulted in higher cost of revenue as a percentage of revenue on these units. Higher fuel costs associated with transporting vehicles to customers also contributed to the increase.

The increase was primarily driven by an increase in other customer assurance cost of revenue due to an increase in units sold through our price guarantee sales and an increase in the average cost per guarantee sale unit. Other customer assurance cost of revenue increased to $11.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to $3.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 due primarily to an increase in costs incurred on the Company's price guarantee sales driven by an increase in units sold through our price guarantee sales and an increase in the average cost per guarantee sale unit in the current year compared to the prior period. Go Green assurance cost of revenue also increased, driven by an increase in the number of arbitration claims due to increased volume of completed auctions where the customer elected the Go Green offering. For the six months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2025, Go Green assurance cost of revenue increased to $29.7 million from $27.3 million.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Adjusted EBITDA
We report our financial results in accordance with GAAP. However, management believes that Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, provides investors with additional useful information in evaluating our performance.

Table of Contents
Adjusted EBITDA is a financial measure that is not presented in accordance with GAAP. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA, when taken together with our financial results presented in accordance with GAAP, provides meaningful supplemental information regarding our operating performance and facilitates internal comparisons of our historical operating performance on a more consistent basis by excluding certain items that may not be indicative of our business, results of operations or outlook. In particular, we believe that the use of Adjusted EBITDA is helpful to our investors as it is a measure used by management in assessing the health of our business and evaluating our operating performance, as well as for internal planning and forecasting purposes.
Adjusted EBITDA is presented for supplemental informational purposes only, has limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for financial information presented in accordance with GAAP. Some of these limitations include that: (i) it does not properly reflect capital commitments to be paid in the future; (ii) although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the underlying assets may need to be replaced and Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect these capital expenditures; (iii) it does not consider the impact of stock-based compensation expense; (iv) it does not reflect other non-operating income and expenses, including interest income and expense; (v) it does not consider the impact of any contingent consideration liability valuation adjustments; (vi) it does not reflect tax payments that may represent a reduction in cash available to us; (vii) it does not include the amortization of acquired intangible assets but it does include the revenue that these acquired intangible assets contribute to the enterprise; and (viii) it does not reflect other one-time, non-recurring items, when applicable, such as acquisition-related and restructuring expenses. In addition, our use of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies because they may not calculate Adjusted EBITDA in the same manner, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure. Because of these limitations, when evaluating our performance, you should consider Adjusted EBITDA alongside other financial measures, including our net loss and other results stated in accordance with GAAP.
The following table presents a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net loss, the most directly comparable financial measure stated in accordance with GAAP, for the periods presented:

Non-GAAP Net income (loss)
We report our financial results in accordance with GAAP. However, management believes that Non-GAAP Net income (loss), a financial measure that is not presented in accordance with GAAP, provides investors with additional useful information to measure operating performance and current and future liquidity when taken together with our financial results presented in accordance with GAAP. By providing this information, we believe management and the users of the financial statements are better able to understand the financial results of what we consider to be our continuing operations.
We believe that providing non-GAAP financial measures that exclude stock-based compensation expense allows for more meaningful comparisons between our operating results from period to period. We exclude amortization of acquired intangible assets from the calculation of Non-GAAP Net income (loss). We believe that excluding the impact of amortization of acquired intangible assets allows for more meaningful comparisons between operating results from period to period as the underlying intangible assets are valued at the time of acquisition and are amortized over several years after the acquisition.

We exclude contingent consideration liability valuation adjustments associated with the purchase consideration of transactions accounted for as business combinations. We also exclude certain other one-time, non-recurring items, when applicable, such as acquisition-related and restructuring expenses, because we do not consider such amounts to be part of our ongoing operations nor are they comparable to prior periods nor predictive of future results.
Non-GAAP Net income (loss) is presented for supplemental informational purposes only, has limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for financial information presented in accordance with GAAP.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
We have financed operations since our inception primarily through our marketplace revenue, proceeds from sales of equity securities, and debt facilities.
As of June 30, 2026, our principal sources of liquidity were cash and cash equivalents totaling $242.3 million. We believe that our existing cash and cash equivalents and cash flow from operations will be sufficient to support working capital and capital expenditure requirements for at least the next 12 months and for the long-term. Our future capital requirements over the long-term will depend on many factors, including volume of sales with existing customers, expansion of sales and marketing activities to acquire new customers, timing and extent of spending to support development efforts and introduction of new and enhanced services. We may, in the future, enter into arrangements to acquire or invest in complementary businesses, products, and technologies. We may be required to seek additional equity or debt financing. In the event that we require additional financing, we may not be able to raise such financing on terms acceptable to us or at all. If we are unable to raise additional capital or generate cash flows necessary to expand our operations and invest in continued innovation, we may not be able to compete successfully, which would harm our business, results of operations and financial condition.
As of June 30, 2026, our principal commitments primarily consist of long-term debt and leases for facilities. We have $5.5 million of lease obligations due within a year, and an additional $39.2 million of lease obligations due at various dates through 2039.

Table of Contents
In order to compete successfully and sustain operations at current levels over the next 12 months, we will be required to devote a significant amount of operating cash flow to our human capital in the form of salaries and wages. Additionally, we enter into purchase commitments for goods and services made in the ordinary course of business. These purchase commitments include goods and services received and recorded as liabilities as of June 30, 2026 as well as goods and services which have not yet been delivered or performed and have, therefore, not been reflected in our unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. These commitments typically become due after the delivery and completion of such goods or services.
We settle transactions among buyers and sellers using the marketplace and, as a result, the value of the vehicles passes through our balance sheet. Because our receivables typically have been, on average, settled faster than our payables, our cash position at each balance sheet date has been bolstered by marketplace float. Changes in working capital vary from quarter-to-quarter as a result of Marketplace GMV and the timing of collections and disbursements of funds related to auctions completed near period end.
Our Debt Arrangements
2021 Revolver
As of June 30, 2026, $80.0 million was drawn under the 2021 Revolver with an interest rate of 6.47%, and there were outstanding letters of credit issued under the 2021 Revolver in the amount of $3.1 million. As of June 30, 2026, we had unused borrowing capacity of $166.9 million under the 2021 revolver.
Warehouse Facility
As of June 30, 2026 borrowings under the Warehouse Facility were $125.0 million with an interest rate of 6.59%. As of June 30, 2026, we had unused borrowing capacity of $75.0 million under our Warehouse Facility.
We were in compliance with all such applicable covenants as of June 30, 2026, and believe we are in compliance as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Effect of exchange rate changes(237)209 
Net (decrease) increase in cash and cash equivalents$(29,238)$34,300 
Operating Activities
Our largest source of operating cash is cash collection from fees earned on our marketplace. Our primary uses of cash from operating activities are for costs of revenue, personnel expenses, sales and marketing expenses and overhead expenses.
In the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, net cash provided by operating activities was $41.0 million and $80.3 million, respectively. Net cash provided by operating activities during the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 consisted primarily of cash earnings and an increase in accounts payable to sellers partially offset by an increase in accounts receivable due from buyers. The decrease in cash provided by operating activities during the six months ended June 30, 2026 relative to the six months ended June 30, 2025 is primarily due to the timing of collections and disbursements of funds related to auctions completed near period end.

Table of Contents
Investing Activities
In the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, net cash used in investing activities was $33.9 million and $93.6 million, respectively. Net cash used in investing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2026 consisted of capitalized software development costs and an increase in finance receivables. Net cash used in investing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2025 was primarily related to the increase in finance receivables as well as capitalized software development.
The decrease in net cash used in investing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2026 relative to the six months ended June 30, 2025 was primarily driven by a smaller increase in the finance receivables portfolio compared to the prior year.
Financing Activities
In the six months ended June 30, 2026 net cash used in financing activities was $36.1 million and in the six months ended June 30, 2025 net cash provided by financing activities was $47.4 million. Net cash used in financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2026 relates to the repurchase of common stock offset by the proceeds, net of repayments, from long term debt. Net cash provided by financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2025 relates to the proceeds, net of repayments, from long term debt, partially offset by payments of RSU tax withholding in exchange for common shares surrendered by RSU holders.
The increase in net cash used in financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2026 relative to the six months ended June 30, 2025 was primarily the result of the repurchase of common stock during the period and lower borrowings, net of repayments in the current period.
Seasonality
The volume of vehicles sold through our auctions fluctuates from quarter to quarter. This seasonality is caused by several factors, including holidays, weather, the seasonality of the retail market for used vehicles and the timing of federal tax returns, which affects the demand side of the auction industry. As a result, revenue and operating expenses related to volume will fluctuate accordingly on a quarterly basis. In the fourth quarter, we typically experience lower used vehicle auction volume as well as additional costs associated with the holidays. Seasonally depressed used vehicle auction volume typically continues during the winter months through the first quarter. Typical seasonality trends may not be observed in periods where other external factors more significantly impact the industry.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and related disclosures. We evaluate our estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis. Our estimates are based on historical experience and various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, however, our actual results could differ from these estimates.
There have been no material changes to our critical accounting estimates as compared to those disclosed in the Annual Report.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
We are exposed to market risk in the ordinary course of our business. Market risk represents the risk of loss that may impact our financial position due to adverse changes in financial market prices and rates. Our market risk exposure is primarily the result of fluctuations in interest rates.
Interest Rate Risk
We had cash and cash equivalents of $242.3 million as of June 30, 2026, which consisted of interest-bearing investments with maturities of three months or less and investment grade securities, respectively. We do not enter into investments for trading or speculative purposes and have not used any derivative financial instruments to manage our interest rate risk exposure. We had borrowings from banks of $205.0 million as of June 30, 2026. The interest rate paid on these borrowings is variable, indexed to SOFR. Therefore, increases in interest rates will increase the interest expense on
34

Table of Contents
these borrowings. A hypothetical 100 basis point change in interest rates would not result in a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
The Company's management, with the participation of the Company's Chief Executive Officer and the Company's Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2026. Based on the evaluation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2026, the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by Rule 13a-15(d) and 15d-15(d) of the Exchange Act that occurred during the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.
Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls
The Company's management, including the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, believes that our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and are effective at the reasonable assurance level. However, management does not expect that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures or the Company's internal control over financial reporting will prevent or detect all errors and fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the company have been detected. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
From time to time we may become involved in legal proceedings or be subject to claims arising in the ordinary course of our business. We are not presently subject to any pending or threatened litigation that we believe, if determined adversely to us, would individually, or taken together, reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on our business or financial results. The material set forth in Note 4 (pertaining to information regarding legal contingencies) of the Notes of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q is incorporated herein by reference.
Item 1A. Risk Factors.
There have been no material changes to the risk factors previously disclosed in the Annual Report. Refer to the Annual Report for a complete discussion of our potential risks and uncertainties related to our business and on investment in our Common Stock. The risks and uncertainties described in our Annual Report are not the only ones we face.

The first trade will not occur until September 14, 2026 at the earliest. Mr. Peer's trading plan is scheduled to terminate on May 28, 2027.

The Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangements described above were terminated, modified, adopted, and pre-cleared in accordance with ACV’s Insider Trading Policy and actual sale transactions made pursuant to any such trading arrangements have been or will be disclosed publicly in past or future Section 16 filings with the SEC. Other than disclosed above, no other officer adopted, modified or terminated a Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement or “non-Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement” (as defined in Item 408 of Regulation S-K) during the three months ended June 30, 2026.

Accelerated vesting of each outstanding time-based equity award held by the Executive as of the date of termination that would have vested during the 18-month period (in the case of the Chief Executive Officer) or 12-month period (in the case of each other Executive) immediately following the date of termination

Each Severance Agreement further provides that, in the event the Executive's employment is terminated by the Company without Cause or the Executive resigns for Good Reason during the period beginning three months prior to and ending 12 months following a Change in Control (the "Change in Control Protection Period"), the Executive will be entitled to receive the following enhanced severance benefits, in lieu of the severance benefits described above:

participation in the Company's group health and dental plans on the same terms as active employees (or, if such continuation is not permitted, a monthly cash payment equal to the applicable COBRA premium) for a period of
