Third Quarter 2026 Supplemental Financial Information

OPENLANE, Inc.
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Measures
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as presented herein are supplemental measures of our performance that are not required by, or presented in accordance with, generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”). The presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP.
EBITDA is defined as net income (loss), plus interest expense net of interest income, income tax provision (benefit), depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is EBITDA adjusted for the items of income and expense and expected incremental revenue and cost savings as described in our senior secured credit agreement covenant calculations. Management believes that the inclusion of supplementary adjustments to EBITDA applied in presenting Adjusted EBITDA is appropriate to provide additional information to investors about one of the principal measures of performance used by our creditors. In addition, management uses EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to evaluate our performance. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA have limitations as analytical tools, and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of the results as reported under GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.
The following tables reconcile net income to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA for the periods presented:

Overview of OPENLANE Results for the Three Months Ended September 30, 2026 and 2025
Overview
For the three months ended September 30, 2026, we had revenue of $561.2 million compared with revenue of $498.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, an increase of 13%. For a further discussion of our operating results, see the segment results discussions below.
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation and amortization decreased $1.2 million, or 5%, to $21.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2026, compared with $22.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025. The decrease in depreciation and amortization was primarily the result of assets that have become fully amortized and depreciated.
Interest Expense
Interest expense increased $8.9 million to $10.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2026, compared with $1.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025. The increase in interest expense was primarily the result of new term loan borrowings in the fourth quarter of 2025.
Other Income, Net
For the three months ended September 30, 2026, we had other income of $0.4 million compared with$2.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025. The decrease in other income was primarily attributable to foreign currency losses on intercompany balances of $0.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2026, compared with foreign currency gains on intercompany balances of $1.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025. This decrease was partially offset by an increase in other miscellaneous income aggregating $0.3 million, primarily interest income.
Loss on Extinguishment of Debt
In September 2026, in connection with the Second Amendment to the Tenth Amended and Restated Receivables Purchase Agreement, we recorded a $0.7 million pretax charge resulting from the write-off of a portion of the unamortized securitization issuance costs.
Income Taxes
We had an effective tax rate of 25.6% for the three months ended September 30, 2026, compared with an effective tax rate of 14.6% for the three months ended September 30, 2025. The effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2025 was favorably impacted by a decrease in the valuation allowance related to 2025 current year movement of the adjusted U.S. net deferred tax asset primarily attributable to the application of new tax legislation, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act.
Additionally, the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development has published a proposal to establish a new global minimum corporate tax rate of 15%, commonly referred to as Pillar Two. While the U.S. has not adopted the Pillar Two framework into law, numerous countries in which we operate have enacted tax legislation based on the Pillar Two framework with certain components of the minimum tax rules effective beginning in 2024 and further rules becoming effective beginning in 2025 and subsequent years. On January 5, 2026, the OECD announced agreement amongst members that would exclude U.S. parented groups from some taxes imposed by Pillar Two. This agreement allows for the U.S. international tax rules and Pillar Two to operate in parallel. These rules, as well as changes due to the agreement, are not expected to materially impact the Company's consolidated financial statements. The Company will continue to monitor U.S. and global legislative action related to Pillar Two for potential impacts.
Impact of Foreign Currency
For the three months ended September 30, 2026 compared with the three months ended September 30, 2025, the change in the Canadian dollar exchange rate decreased revenue by $1.9 million, operating profit by $0.5 million and net income by $0.3 million. For the three months ended September 30, 2026 compared with the three months ended September 30, 2025, the change in the euro exchange rate decreased revenue by $1.6 million, operating profit by $0.1 million and net income by $0.1 million.
Overview of OPENLANE Results for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2026 and 2025
Overview
For the nine months ended September 30, 2026, we had revenue of $1,643.7 million compared with revenue of $1,440.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, an increase of 14%. For a further discussion of our operating results, see the segment results discussions below.
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation and amortization decreased $1.7 million, or 2%, to $66.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2026, compared with $68.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025. The decrease in depreciation and amortization was primarily the result of assets that have become fully amortized and depreciated.
Interest Expense
Interest expense increased $21.9 million to $30.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2026, compared with $8.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025. The increase in interest expense was primarily the result of new term loan borrowings in the fourth quarter of 2025, partially offset by the repayment of the senior notes in the second quarter of 2025.
Other Income, Net
For the nine months ended September 30, 2026, we had other income of $5.6 million compared with$14.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025. The decrease in other income was primarily attributable to a decrease in foreign currency gains on intercompany balances of $9.8 million and a net decrease in other miscellaneous items aggregating $0.5 million, primarily a decrease in interest income, partially offset by a $1.3 million realized gain on investment securities.
Loss on Extinguishment of Debt
In September 2026, in connection with the Second Amendment to the Tenth Amended and Restated Receivables Purchase Agreement, we recorded a $0.7 million pretax charge resulting from the write-off of a portion of the unamortized securitization issuance costs.
Income Taxes
We had an effective tax rate of 26.1% for the nine months ended September 30, 2026, compared with an effective tax rate of 26.4% for the nine months ended September 30, 2025. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 was not significantly impacted by the valuation allowance due to the decrease of the adjusted U.S. net deferred tax asset attributable to application of new tax legislation, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, offsetting the increase related to all other 2025 current year movement of the adjusted U.S. net deferred tax asset.
Additionally, the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development has published a proposal to establish a new global minimum corporate tax rate of 15%, commonly referred to as Pillar Two. While the U.S. has not adopted the Pillar Two framework into law, numerous countries in which we operate have enacted tax legislation based on the Pillar Two framework with certain components of the minimum tax rules effective beginning in 2024 and further rules becoming effective beginning in 2025 and subsequent years. On January 5, 2026, the OECD announced agreement amongst members that would exclude U.S. parented groups from some taxes imposed by Pillar Two. This agreement allows for the U.S. international tax rules and Pillar Two to operate in parallel. These rules, as well as changes due to the agreement, are not expected to materially impact the Company's consolidated financial statements. The Company will continue to monitor U.S. and global legislative action related to Pillar Two for potential impacts.
Impact of Foreign Currency
For the nine months ended September 30, 2026 compared with the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the change in the euro exchange rate increased revenue by $9.8 million, operating profit by $0.6 million and net income by $0.4 million. For the nine months ended September 30, 2026 compared with the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the change in the Canadian dollar exchange rate increased revenue by $2.9 million, operating profit by $1.0 million and net income by $0.5 million.

Overview of Marketplace Results for the Three Months Ended September 30, 2026 and 2025
Total Marketplace Revenue
Revenue from the Marketplace segment increased $57.1 million, or 15%, to $446.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2026, compared with $389.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025. The increase in revenue was primarily attributable to the 28% increase in the number of vehicles sold. The change in revenue included the impact of a decrease in revenue of $3.1 million due to fluctuations in the euro and Canadian dollar exchange rates.
The 28% increase in the number of vehicles sold was comprised of a 46% increase in commercial vehicles sold and a 10% increase in dealer consignment vehicles sold. The increase in commercial vehicles sold was primarily due to the onboarding of a new private label customer and an increase in off-lease vehicles sold. The GMV of vehicles sold for the three months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025 was approximately $10.0 billion and $7.3 billion, respectively. The year-over-year increase in GMV for the three months ended September 30, 2026 was driven by the increase in vehicles sold and an increase in the average value of vehicles sold.
Auction and Related Fees
Auction and related fees increased $38.0 million, or 18%, to $253.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2026, compared with $215.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025. Yield represents auction and related fees divided by GMV. Yield decreased 40 basis points to 2.5% for the three months ended September 30, 2026, compared with 2.9% for the three months ended September 30, 2025. The year-over-year decrease in consolidated yield for the three months ended September 30, 2026, was driven by an increased mix of commercial vehicles which carry lower yields than dealer consignment vehicles, as well as an increase in the average value of vehicles sold.
SaaS and Other Revenue
SaaS and other revenue increased $8.6 million, or 13%, to $73.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2026, compared with $65.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, primarily as a result of increases in other repossession revenue of $4.7 million due to increased repossession volumes, and SaaS revenues of $4.6 million, partially offset by a decrease in transportation revenue of approximately $0.7 million due to
a lower transportation attach rate, which represents the percentage of vehicles sold through our marketplaces for which we provide transportation services.
Purchased Vehicle Sales
The entire selling and purchase price of the vehicle is recorded as revenue and cost of services for purchased vehicles sold, which represent approximately 2% of total vehicles sold. Purchased vehicle sales increased $10.5 million, or 10%, to $119.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2026, compared with $108.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, primarily as a result of an increase in the number of purchased vehicles sold in the U.S. marketplace, partially offset by a decrease in the average selling price of purchased vehicles sold in the U.S. marketplace. The net U.S. increase was further offset by a decrease in the number of purchased vehicles sold in Europe, partially offset by an increase in the average selling price of purchased vehicles sold in Europe.
Gross Profit
For the three months ended September 30, 2026, gross profit from the Marketplace segment increased $20.2 million, or 17%, to $139.6 million, compared with $119.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025. Gross profit improvements were driven by a $22.0 million net increase in auction and service volumes, including the impact from a higher mix of commercial vehicles sold. The gross profit improvement also included a $1.4 million decrease in Canadian DST expense (repealed in March 2026). These improvements were partially offset by a $3.2 million decrease from pricing. In addition, gross profit was negatively affected by a lower transportation attach rate.

Overview of Marketplace Results for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2026 and 2025
Total Marketplace Revenue
Revenue from the Marketplace segment increased $199.2 million, or 18%, to $1,315.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2026, compared with $1,116.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025. The increase in revenue was primarily attributable to the 24% increase in the number of vehicles sold. The change in revenue included the impact of an increase in revenue of $12.1 million due to fluctuations in the euro and Canadian dollar exchange rates.
The 24% increase in the number of vehicles sold was comprised of a 37% increase in commercial vehicles sold and a 12% increase in dealer consignment vehicles sold. The increase in commercial vehicles sold was primarily due to the onboarding of a new private label customer and an increase in off-lease vehicles sold. The GMV of vehicles sold for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025 was approximately $29.6 billion and $21.7 billion, respectively. The year-over-year increase in GMV for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 was driven by the increase in vehicles sold and an increase in the average value of vehicles sold.
Auction and Related Fees
Auction and related fees increased $126.0 million, or 20%, to $754.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2026, compared with $628.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025. Yield represents auction and related fees divided by GMV. Yield decreased 40 basis points to 2.5% for the nine months ended September 30, 2026, compared with 2.9% for the nine months ended September 30, 2025. The year-over-year decrease in consolidated yield for the nine months ended September 30, 2026, was driven by an increased mix of commercial vehicles which carry lower yields than dealer consignment vehicles, as well as an increase in the average value of vehicles sold.
SaaS and Other Revenue
SaaS and other revenue increased $19.8 million, or 10%, to $214.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2026, compared with $195.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, primarily as a result of increases in SaaS revenues of $11.2 million and other repossession revenue of $9.8 million due to increased repossession volumes, partially offset by a decrease in transportation revenue of $1.2 million due to a lower transportation attach rate.
Purchased Vehicle Sales
The entire selling and purchase price of the vehicle is recorded as revenue and cost of services for purchased vehicles sold, which represent approximately 2% of total vehicles sold. Purchased vehicle sales increased $53.4 million, or 18%, to $346.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2026, compared with $293.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, primarily as a result of an increase in the number of purchased vehicles sold in the U.S. marketplace.
Gross Profit
For the nine months ended September 30, 2026, gross profit from the Marketplace segment increased $81.7 million, or 23%, to $430.4 million, compared with $348.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025. Gross profit improvements were driven by a $54.2 million net increase in auction and service volumes, including the impact from a higher mix of commercial vehicles sold and partially offset by transportation margin compression. The gross profit improvement also included a $20.2 million benefit related to the rescission of the digital services tax in Canada (see below), which includes a $15.9 million reversal of previously recognized expense and a $4.3 million benefit from the absence of expense for the current period. Additional drivers include an $8.8 million increase from pricing, partially offset by a decrease in other miscellaneous items aggregating $1.5 million.
Gross profit from the Marketplace segment was 32.7% of revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2026, compared with 31.2% of revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2025. Gross profit as a percentage of revenue increased for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 as compared with the nine months ended September 30, 2025, primarily due to the reversal of the Canadian digital services tax, higher pricing and increased auction and service volumes, partially offset by reduced margins in transportation services, as a result of elevated fuel prices in North America. The $20.2 million benefit related to the rescission of the Canadian digital service tax increased gross profit as a percentage of revenue by 1.5%.
On June 28, 2024, Canada enacted a new 3% Digital Services Tax (“Canadian DST”) on certain online revenues, including online marketplace service revenues, of companies with consolidated revenues of at least €750 million. On March 26, 2026, Canada enacted a bill (C-15) including the repeal of the Canadian DST. This repeal is retroactive and applies to all periods since the tax's original inception. Consequently, the Company recorded an expense reversal of $15.9 million in the first quarter of 2026 (representing expense recorded in 2025 and prior periods, of which $4.3 million was recorded as expense in the first nine months of 2025). As of March 31, 2026, the Company recorded a receivable of $10.0 million (C$13.9 million) within trade receivables on the consolidated balance sheet, representing the refund due for amounts previously remitted to the Canada Revenue Agency. In the second quarter of 2026, the Company received the full cash refund.
Provision for Credit Losses
Provision for credit losses from the Marketplace segment increased $0.4 million, or 17%, to $2.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2026, compared with $2.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, mainly as a result of growth in the Marketplace business.
Selling, General and Administrative
Selling, general and administrative expenses from the Marketplace segment increased $36.4 million, or 12%, to $328.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2026, compared with $292.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, primarily as a result of increases in stock-based compensation of $11.6 million, sales-related expenses of $9.0 million, compensation expense of $7.4 million, professional fees of $3.4 million, travel expenses of $2.3 million, information technology costs of $2.2 million, incentive-based compensation of $1.7 million, supplies expense of $1.3 million and other miscellaneous expenses aggregating $0.8 million, partially offset by a decrease in severance of $3.3 million.
Loss on Sale of Property
In April 2025, the Company closed on the sale of excess property in Montreal that was originally purchased as part of the December 2023 Manheim Canada acquisition. This transaction resulted in a loss on sale of approximately $7.0 million in the second quarter of 2025.

| Net increase (decrease) in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash | $ | 94.2 | | | $ | (37.3) | |
Cash flow from operating activities Net cash provided by operating activities was $309.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2026, compared with $266.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025. Cash provided by operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 consisted primarily of cash earnings and an increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses, partially offset by an increase in trade receivables and other assets. Cash provided by operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 consisted primarily of cash earnings and an increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses, partially offset by an increase in trade receivables and other assets. The increase in operating cash flow was primarily attributable to increased profitability and changes in operating assets and liabilities as a result of the timing of collections and disbursement of funds to consignors for marketplace sales held near period-ends.
Changes in AFC’s accounts payable balance are presented in cash flows from operating activities, while changes in AFC’s finance receivables are presented in cash flows from investing activities and changes in AFC's obligations collateralized by finance receivables are presented in cash flows from financing activities. Variations in these balances can lead to significant fluctuations across operating, investing and financing cash flows. Growth and contraction in AFC’s finance receivables portfolio can result in significant swings in cash flows in a given period as approximately 70% to 75% of AFC’s finance receivables portfolio is funded through its securitization facilities with the remainder funded through other sources of liquidity including cash on hand and working capital.
Cash flow from investing activities Net cash used by investing activities was $407.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2026, compared with $195.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025. The cash used by investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 was primarily from an increase in finance receivables held for investment and purchases of property, equipment and computer software. The cash used by investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 was primarily from an increase in finance receivables held for investment and purchases of property, equipment and computer software, partially offset by proceeds from the sale of property.
Cash flow from financing activities Net cash provided by financing activities was $207.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2026, compared with net cash used by financing activities of $119.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025. The cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 was primarily due to a net increase in obligations collateralized by finance receivables, partially
offset by repurchases and retirement of common stock. The U.S. and Canadian securitization amendments in September 2026 yielded approximately $58 million of incremental borrowing. The cash used by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 was primarily due to payments on long-term debt, repurchases and retirement of common stock and dividends paid on the Series A Preferred Stock, partially offset by a net increase in obligations collateralized by finance receivables and a net increase in book overdrafts.
