¹		In an effort to assist our dealer customers impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic and related restrictions, we provided, among other measures, financial relief in the form of invoice credits of 50% for April 2020 and 30% for May and June 2020. These discounts totaled approximately $38.2 million in the second quarter of 2020.

Operational Highlights

Made a $20.0 million voluntary debt prepayment, bringing total debt prepayments to $70 million for the first half of 2021, evidence of the Company's continued strength in Free Cash Flow and focus on maintaining a strong balance sheet
Launched the Company's new cloud-based web platform enabling faster innovation to introduce new industry-leading features and solutions to shoppers and customers
Based on the number of live dealership websites, Dealer Inspire is the leading provider of the new entries in the GM "Dealer Choice" program

"Our momentum continued as we delivered solid sequential results. Performance was driven by growth in ARPD and dealers' continued adoption of digital tools and is reflective of our robust marketplace and solutions strategy," stated Alex Vetter, President and Chief Executive Officer of CARS. "The launch of our new cloud-based platform provides shoppers with an enhanced experience on our site and mobile app and enables us to more rapidly innovate features and solutions for our customers."

Q2 2021 Results

Revenue for the second quarter totaled $155.5 million, an increase of $53.5 million, or 52%, compared to the second quarter of 2020, which reflects the impact of the financial relief the Company provided to its dealer customers. Excluding the impact of prior-year invoice credits, revenue grew 11% year-over-year. Compared to the first quarter of 2021, revenue increased $2.2 million, or 1%, and dealer revenue grew 3%, led by growth in ARPD driven by continued growth in FUEL and website solutions.

Total operating expenses were $139.9 million, compared to $119.2 million for the prior year period. The second quarter of 2020 reflects the Company's management of expenses to adjust to changes in revenue due to the COVID-19 pandemic; as a result, operating expenses were lower than those in the Company's typical operating environment. Compared to the first quarter of 2021, total operating expenses increased 2%, primarily due to higher Product and Technology expense related to continued investments to support growth as well as the Company's new cloud-based platform.

GAAP net income was $6.0 million, or $0.08 per diluted share, compared to GAAP net loss of $24.6 million, or $(0.37) per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2020.

Adjusted EBITDA was $48.5 million, or 31% of revenue, compared to $23.2 million, or 23% of revenue, for the prior-year period.

The Company remains focused on driving high-quality traffic and leads while continuing to optimize marketing investments. Average Monthly Unique Visitors in the second quarter increased 16% and Traffic increased 10%, compared to the second quarter of 2020. Organic traffic was 72% of Traffic and grew 3% year-over-year.

For the quarter, ARPD was $2,299, up 59% year-over-year. Excluding the impact of the invoice credits, year-over-year ARPD growth was 10%, driven by continued growth in solutions products. Compared to the first quarter of 2021 ARPD increased 1%.

Dealer Customers totaled 18,845 at the end of the second quarter, a 5% increase compared to the prior year period.

Cash Flow and Balance Sheet

Net cash provided by operating activities for the six month period ended June 30, 2021 was $79.6 million, up 38% compared to $57.6 million in the prior year. Free Cash Flow in the first six months of 2021 totaled $66.5 million, up 36% compared to $48.9 million in the prior year.

Total liquidity was $282.2 million, including cash and cash equivalents of $52.2 million and $230.0 million of revolver capacity, as of June 30, 2021. The Company made $22.5 million in debt payments during the second quarter, of which $20.0 million was a voluntary prepayment, thereby reducing total debt outstanding to $522.5 million as of June 30, 2021. In the first half of 2021, the Company has repaid $75.0 million of its outstanding debt, of which $70.0 million was a voluntary prepayment. Total net leverage ratio as of June 30, 2021 improved to 2.4x, compared to 4.1x as of June 30, 2020. In July 2021, the Company made an additional prepayment of $15.0 million.

"We delivered another quarter of solid performance with growth in revenue and adjusted EBITDA, both coming in ahead of our guidance, which generated another quarter of strong cash flow," stated Sonia Jain, Chief Financial Officer of CARS. "Looking ahead, we are in a strong operational and financial position, which gives us confidence that we'll achieve our third quarter guidance and enables us to continue to strategically deploy capital to invest in organic opportunities, pay down our debt and pursue bolt-on acquisitions."

Outlook

For the third quarter 2021, the Company expects Revenue of approximately $155 million to $157 million, and Adjusted EBITDA margins of approximately 27.5% to 29.5%. Guidance reflects the Company's expectation of a continuation of the industry-wide inventory shortage into the third quarter and continued investments in marketing to support its brand and in technology to drive innovation.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This earnings release discusses Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin and Free Cash Flow. These financial measures are not prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP"). These financial measures are presented as supplemental measures of operating performance because the Company believes they provide meaningful information regarding the Company's performance and provide a basis to compare operating results between periods. In addition, the Company uses Adjusted EBITDA as a measure for determining incentive compensation targets. Adjusted EBITDA also is used as a performance measure under the Company's credit agreement and includes adjustments such as the items defined below and other further adjustments, which are defined in the credit agreement. These non-GAAP financial measures are frequently used by the Company's lenders, securities analysts, investors and other interested parties to evaluate companies in the Company's industry. For a reconciliation of the non-GAAP measures presented in this earnings release to their most directly comparable financial measure prepared in accordance with GAAP, see "Non-GAAP Reconciliations" below.

Other companies may define or calculate these measures differently, limiting their usefulness as comparative measures. Because of these limitations, non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation or as substitutes for performance measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. Definitions of these non-GAAP financial measures and reconciliations to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are presented in the tables below.

The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) before (1) interest expense, net, (2) income tax (benefit) expense, (3) depreciation, (4) amortization of intangible assets, (5) stock-based compensation expense, (6) unrealized mark-to-market adjustments and cash transactions related to derivative instruments, and (7) certain other items, such as transaction-related costs, severance, transformation and other exit costs and write-off and impairments of goodwill, intangible assets and other long-lived assets.

Transaction-related costs are certain expense items resulting from actual or potential transactions such as business combinations, mergers, acquisitions, dispositions, spin-offs, financing transactions, and other strategic transactions, including, without limitation, (1) transaction-related bonuses and (2) expenses for advisors and representatives such as investment bankers, consultants, attorneys and accounting firms. Transaction-related costs may also include, without limitation, transition and integration costs such as retention bonuses and acquisition-related milestone payments to acquired employees, in addition to consulting, compensation and other incremental costs associated with integration projects.

The Company defines Free Cash Flow as net cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures, including purchases of property and equipment and capitalization of internal-use software and website development costs.

Key Metric Definitions

Traffic. Traffic is fundamental to the Company's business. Traffic to the CARS network of websites and mobile apps provides value to the Company's advertisers in terms of audience, awareness, consideration and conversion. In addition to tracking traffic volume and sources, the Company monitors activity on its properties, allowing the Company to innovate and refine its consumer-facing offerings. Traffic is defined as the number of visits to CARS desktop and mobile properties (responsive sites and mobile apps), measured using Adobe Analytics. Traffic does not include traffic to Dealer Inspire websites. Traffic provides an indication of the Company's consumer reach. Although the Company's consumer reach does not directly result in revenue, the Company believes its ability to reach in-market car shoppers is attractive to its dealer customers and national advertisers.

Average Monthly Unique Visitors ("UVs"). Growth in unique visitors and consumer traffic to the Company's network of websites and mobile apps increases the number of impressions, clicks, leads and other events it can monetize to generate revenue. The Company defines UVs in a given month as the number of distinct visitors that engage with its platform during that month. Visitors are identified when a user first visits an individual CARS property on an individual device/browser combination or installs one of its mobile apps on an individual device. If a visitor accesses more than one of the Company's web properties or apps or uses more than one device or browser, each of those unique property/browser/app/device combinations counts toward the number of UVs. UVs do not include Dealer Inspire UVs. The Company measures UVs using Adobe Analytics.

Dealer Customers. Dealer Customers represent dealerships using the Company's products as of the end of each reporting period. Each physical or virtual dealership location is counted separately, whether it is a single-location proprietorship or part of a large, consolidated dealer group. Multi-franchise dealerships at a single location are counted as one dealer.

Average Revenue Per Dealer ("ARPD"). The Company believes that its ability to grow ARPD is an indicator of the value proposition of its products. The Company defines ARPD as Dealer revenue, excluding digital advertising services, during the period divided by the monthly average number of Dealer Customers during the same period.
