CARVANA CO. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1 — BUSINESS ORGANIZATION
Description of Business
Carvana Co. and its wholly-owned subsidiary Carvana Co. Sub (collectively, "Carvana Co.") together with its consolidated subsidiaries (the “Company”) is a leading e-commerce platform for buying and selling used cars. The Company is transforming the used car sales experience by giving consumers what they want — a wide selection, great value and quality, transparent pricing and a simple, no pressure transaction. Using the website, customers can complete all phases of a used vehicle purchase transaction including financing their purchase, trading in their current vehicle and purchasing complementary products such as vehicle service contracts ("VSC") and GAP waiver coverage. Each element of the Company's business, from inventory procurement to fulfillment and overall ease of the online transaction, has been built for this singular purpose.
Organization
Carvana Co. is a holding company that was formed as a Delaware corporation on November 29, 2016 for the purpose of completing its initial public offering ("IPO") and related transactions in order to operate the business of Carvana Group, LLC and its subsidiaries (collectively, "Carvana Group"). Substantially all of the Company’s assets and liabilities represent the assets and liabilities of Carvana Group, except the Company's senior unsecured notes which were issued by Carvana Co. and guaranteed by its and Carvana Group's existing domestic restricted subsidiaries.
In accordance with Carvana Group LLC's amended and restated limited liability company agreement (the "LLC Agreement"), Carvana Co. is the sole manager of Carvana Group, LLC and conducts, directs and exercises full control over the activities of Carvana Group. There are two classes of common ownership interests in Carvana Group, LLC, Class A common units (the "Class A Units") and Class B common units (the "Class B Units"). As further discussed in Note 10 — Stockholders' Equity, the Class A Units and Class B Units (collectively, the "LLC Units") do not hold voting rights, which results in Carvana Group, LLC being considered a variable interest entity ("VIE"). Due to Carvana Co.'s power to control and its significant economic interest in Carvana Group, it is considered the primary beneficiary of the VIE and the Company consolidates the financial results of Carvana Group. As of September 30, 2019, Carvana Co. owned approximately 32.2% of Carvana Group and the LLC Unitholders owned the remaining 67.8%.
NOTE 2 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements have been condensed or omitted. The Company believes the disclosures made are adequate to prevent the information presented from being misleading. However, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included within the Company's most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal and recurring items) necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position as of September 30, 2019, results of operations and changes in stockholder's equity for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, and cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of full year performance because of the impact of seasonal and short-term variations.
As discussed in Note 1 — Business Organization, Carvana Group is considered a VIE and Carvana Co. consolidates its financial results due to the determination that it is the primary beneficiary.
Liquidity
The accompanying interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern. The Company has incurred
CARVANA CO. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)
(Unaudited)
losses from inception through September 30, 2019, and expects to incur additional losses in the future. As the Company continues to grow into new markets, build vending machines and inspection and reconditioning centers ("IRCs") and enhance technology and software development efforts, it needs access to substantial capital. From inception, the Company has primarily funded operations through the issuance of equity instruments and the issuance of senior unsecured notes. The Company has historically funded vehicle inventory purchases through its Floor Plan Facility, and as of September 30, 2019 had approximately $407.0 million available under its $650.0 million Floor Plan Facility that matures in October 2020 to fund future vehicle inventory purchases, as described in further detail in Note 9 — Debt Instruments. As of September 30, 2019, the Company also has approximately $630.8 million available to fund finance receivables under its Finance Receivable Facilities, as further discussed in Note 9 — Debt Instruments. The Company has also funded a portion of its capital expenditures through long-term financing with lenders and other investors as described in further detail in Note 9 — Debt Instruments and Note 15 — Leases. The Company has entered into securitization transactions and various agreements under which it sells the finance receivables it originates to financing partners, subject to each party's rights under the respective agreements, as further discussed in Note 7 — Finance Receivable Sale Agreements and Note 8 — Securitizations and Variable Interest Entities. Management believes that current working capital and expected continued inventory, capital expenditure, and receivables financing are sufficient to fund operations for at least one year from the financial statement issuance date.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions. Certain accounting estimates involve significant judgments, assumptions and estimates by management that have a material impact on the carrying value of certain assets and liabilities, disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period, which management considers to be critical accounting estimates. The judgments, assumptions and estimates used by management are based on historical experience, management’s experience and other factors, which are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Because of the nature of the judgments and assumptions made by management, actual results could differ materially from these judgments and estimates, which could have a material impact on the carrying values of the Company’s assets and liabilities and the results of operations.
Comprehensive Loss
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, the Company had no other components of comprehensive loss and, therefore, the net loss and comprehensive loss were the same for all periods presented.
Restricted Cash
As of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, restricted cash includes the deposits required under the Company's Floor Plan Facility and the deposits required and undistributed amounts collected on the pledged finance receivables within the Company's Finance Receivable Facilities. Refer to Note 9 — Debt Instruments for further detail.
Leases
As discussed below, the Company adopted ASC 842 on January 1, 2019. Under ASC 842, the Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception by evaluating if the asset is explicitly or implicitly identified or distinct, if the Company will receive substantially all of the economic benefit or if the lessor has an economic benefit and the ability to substitute the asset. Right-of-use ("ROU") assets represent the Company's right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company's obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. The Company assesses whether the lease is an operating or finance lease at its inception. Operating lease liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of the lease payments over the lease term. To calculate the present value, the Company uses the implicit rate in the lease when readily determinable. However, most of the Company's leases do not provide an implicit rate and it uses its incremental borrowing rate. The incremental borrowing rate is based on collateralized borrowings of similar assets with terms that approximate the lease term when available and when collateralized rates are not available, it uses uncollateralized rates with similar terms adjusted for the fact that it is an unsecured rate. The operating lease ROU asset is the initial lease liability adjusted for any prepayments, initial indirect costs incurred by the Company, and lease incentives. The Company's operating leases are included in operating lease right-of-use assets, other current liabilities, and operating lease liabilities in its accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Company's finance leases are included in property and equipment and long-term debt in its accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.
CARVANA CO. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)
(Unaudited)
Securitizations and Variable Interest Entities
The Company reviews subsidiaries and affiliates, as well as other entities, to determine if they should be considered variable interest entities, and whether it should change the consolidation determinations based on changes in their characteristics. The Company considers an entity a VIE if its equity investors own an interest therein that lacks the characteristics of a controlling financial interest or if such investors do not have sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support or if the entity is structured with non-substantive voting interests. A VIE is consolidated by its primary beneficiary, the party that has both the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance and the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits of the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. The Company evaluates whether it has variable interests in the VIE and if so, if it is the primary beneficiary of the VIE on an ongoing basis. The Company consolidates VIEs when it is deemed to be the primary beneficiary.
The Company sponsors asset-backed securitization transactions. These transactions often result in the creation of securitization trusts, which are VIEs. To comply with Regulation RR of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 (the "Risk Retention Rules") the Company retains at least a 5% interest in the credit risk of the underlying finance receivables, which it accomplishes by retaining at least a 5% interest in each security issued by the securitization trusts. Typically, this includes notes and certificates, which are presented as beneficial interests in securitizations in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
The Company enters into short-term derivative instruments to manage risks arising from its business operations and economic conditions, primarily cash flow variability that may arise from interest rate changes between the time the Company originates finance receivables and the time it sells them through securitizations. The Company does not designate these derivative instruments as hedges under ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging for hedge accounting treatment and as a result they are accounted for as economic hedges. Gains and losses related to the derivative instruments are included within other sales and revenues to follow the presentation of the hedged item within the Company's statements of operations and any derivative instruments outstanding as of the end of the period are reported at fair value on the Company's balance sheets.
Fair Value Measurements
The fair value of financial instruments is based on estimates using quoted market prices, discounted cash flows or other valuation techniques. Those techniques are significantly affected by the assumptions used, including the discount rate and the estimated timing and amount of future cash flows. Therefore, the estimates of fair value may differ substantially from amounts that ultimately may be realized or paid at settlement or maturity of the financial instruments, and those differences may be material. Accordingly, the aggregate fair value amounts presented may not represent the Company’s underlying institutional value.
The Company uses the three-tier hierarchy established by U.S. GAAP, which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value to determine the fair value of its financial instruments. This hierarchy indicates to what extent the inputs used in the Company’s calculations are observable in the market. The different levels of the hierarchy are defined as follows:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Level 1:
|
|
Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Level 2:
|
|
Other than quoted prices that are observable in the market for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or model-derived valuations or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Level 3:
|
|
Inputs are unobservable and reflect management's estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.
|

(Unaudited)
The Company has elected the fair value option for its beneficial interests in securitization trusts, which primarily include notes and certificates of the securitization trust. Electing the fair value option allows the Company to recognize changes in the fair value of these assets in the period the fair value changes. The changes in fair value are recorded within other expense, net and amounts attributable to interest income are reported in interest expense, net on the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.
See Note 17 — Fair Value of Financial Instruments for additional information.
Segments
Business segments are defined as components of an enterprise about which discrete financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing operating performance. Based on the way the Company manages its business, the Company has determined that it currently operates with one reportable segment. The chief operating decision maker focuses on consolidated results in assessing operating performance and allocating resources. Furthermore, the Company offers similar products and services and uses similar processes to sell those products and services to similar classes of customers throughout the United States (“U.S.”). Substantially all revenue is generated and all assets are held in the U.S. for all periods presented.
Adoption of New Accounting Standards
Beginning in February 2016, the FASB issued several accounting standards updates related to the new leasing model in ASC 842, Leases ("ASC 842"). ASC 842 introduced a model that requires leases to be presented on the balance sheet and eliminates the requirement for an entity to use bright-line tests in determining lease classification. Expense recognition under ASC 842 on the income statement remains similar to previous lease accounting guidance.
The Company adopted ASC 842 on January 1, 2019 using the modified retrospective approach, the practical expedient package and the transition relief option, which allowed the Company to, among other things, avoid reassessing lease classification for existing leases, forego the balance sheet recognition requirements with respect to short-term leases and avoid restating comparative periods presented. The adoption of ASC 842 resulted in initial recognition of ROU assets and operating lease liabilities of approximately $80.3 million and $86.8 million, respectively, as of January 1, 2019, and did not have an impact on the beginning equity balances as of the implementation date. Adopting ASC 842 did not have a material impact on the Company's sale-leaseback transactions, which have typically been accounted for as financing transactions in prior periods and under ASC 842. The standard did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated statements of operations or statements of cash flows.
In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-07, Compensation — Stock Compensation (Topic 718) ("ASU 2018-07") related to the accounting for share-based payment transactions for acquiring goods and services from nonemployees. Under ASU 2018-07, the intent is to simplify and align most requirements for share-based payments to nonemployees with the requirements for share-based payments granted to employees under ASC 718, including measuring the equity instruments at the grant-date fair value. The Company adopted ASU 2018-07 on January 1, 2019 using the modified retrospective approach. The adoption of ASU 2018-07 did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Accounting Standards Issued But Not Yet Adopted
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial instruments — Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASU 2016-13”), which amends the guidance on the impairment of financial instruments by requiring measurement and recognition of expected credit losses for financial assets held. ASU 2016-13 is effective for fiscal years, and for interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019, and earlier adoption is permitted beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2019. Debt securities available for sale are excluded from the scope of ASU 2016-13. The Company plans to adopt ASU 2016-13 for its fiscal year beginning January 1, 2020. Finance receivables originated in connection with the Company’s vehicle sales are held for sale and are subsequently sold. The Company does not presently hold any finance receivables until maturity. Therefore, the Company does not expect adoption of ASU 2016-13 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework — Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement ("ASU 2018-13") related to updated requirements over the
CARVANA CO. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)
(Unaudited)
disclosures of fair value measurements. Under ASU 2018-13, certain disclosure requirements for fair value measurements will be eliminated, modified or added to facilitate better communication around recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements. ASU 2018-13 is effective for fiscal years, and for interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019, with some amendments applied prospectively, some applied retrospectively and early adoption permitted. The Company plans to adopt ASU 2018-13 for its fiscal year beginning January 1, 2020 and is currently assessing the impact the guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements.
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15, Intangibles — Goodwill and Other — Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer's Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract ("ASU 2018-15"). The intent of this pronouncement is to align the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a cloud computing arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software as defined in ASC 350-40. Under ASU 2018-15, the capitalized implementation costs related to a cloud computing arrangement will be amortized over the term of the arrangement and all capitalized implementation amounts will be required to be presented in the same line items of the financial statements as the related hosting fees. ASU 2018-15 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The Company plans to adopt ASU 2018-15 for its fiscal year beginning January 1, 2020 and is currently assessing the impact, if any, the guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements.
In October 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-17, Consolidation (Topic 810): Targeted Improvements to Related Party Guidance for Variable Interest Entities ("ASU 2018-17"). ASU 2018-17 requires reporting entities to consider indirect interests held through related parties under common control on a proportional basis rather than as the equivalent of a direct interest in its entirety for determining whether a decision-making fee is a variable interest. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. Entities are required to apply the amendments in ASU 2018-17 retrospectively with a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings at the beginning of the earliest period presented. The Company plans to adopt ASU 2018-15 for its fiscal year beginning January 1, 2020 and is currently assessing the impact, if any, the guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 4 — GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS, NET
On April 12, 2018, the Company acquired Car360, Inc. ("Car360"), a provider of app-based photo capture technology, for approximately $16.7 million, net of cash acquired of approximately $0.4 million. The purchase price was comprised of approximately $6.7 million cash, net of cash acquired, and approximately 0.5 million Class A Units of Carvana Group, with a fair value of approximately $10.0 million.
The purchase price was allocated to net tangible assets of approximately $0.2 million and intangible assets of approximately $9.9 million based on their fair values on the acquisition date and a related deferred tax liability of approximately $2.5 million. The deferred tax liability will amortize over 2 years to 7 years, and approximately $0.0 million and $0.4 million was amortized during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively, and $0.0 million was amortized during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018. The excess of the purchase price over the amounts allocated to assets acquired, liabilities assumed and the deferred tax liability was approximately $9.4 million, which has been recorded as goodwill. The historical results of operations for Car360 were not significant to the Company's consolidated results of operations for the periods presented.

NOTE 6 — RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Lease Agreements
In November 2014, the Company and DriveTime Automotive Group ("DriveTime") entered into a lease agreement that governs the Company’s access to and utilization of temporary storage, reconditioning, offices and parking space at various DriveTime facilities (the "DriveTime Lease Agreement"). The DriveTime Lease Agreement was most recently amended in December 2018. Lease duration varies by location, with cancellable terms, provided 60 days' prior written notice is given, expiring between 2021 and 2024. Most of the retail facilities allow the Company to exercise up to two consecutive one-year renewal options at up to ten of these locations, less the number of locations renewed under the DriveTime Hub Lease Agreement described below.
In March 2017, the Company and DriveTime entered into a lease agreement that governs the Company's access to and utilization of office and parking space at various DriveTime facilities (the "DriveTime Hub Lease Agreement"). The DriveTime Hub Lease Agreement was most recently amended in December 2018. Lease expiration varies by location with most having cancellable terms, provided 60 days' prior written notice is given, expiring in 2021 and the Company having the right to exercise up to two consecutive one-year renewal options at up to ten of these locations, less the number of locations renewed under the DriveTime Lease Agreement described above.
The DriveTime Lease Agreement and the DriveTime Hub Lease Agreement both have non-cancellable lease terms of less than twelve months with rights to terminate at the Company's election with 60 days prior written notice and extension options as described above. It is not reasonably certain that the Company will exercise its options to extend the leases or abstain from exercising its termination rights at the hub locations within these lease agreements to create a lease term greater than one year and therefore the Company accounts for them as short-term leases. The Company expects to extend the lease terms of the locations where it reconditions vehicles beyond twelve months, therefore those locations are not considered short-term leases. Under these lease agreements the Company makes variable monthly lease payments based on its pro rata utilization of space at each facility plus a pro rata share of each facility’s actual insurance costs and real estate taxes. The Company pays actual insurance costs and real estate taxes directly at locations where it occupies all of the space, including the Blue Mound and Delanco IRCs. The Company is additionally responsible for paying for any tenant improvements it requires to conduct its operations and its share of estimated costs incurred by DriveTime related to preparing these sites for use. As it relates to locations where the Company reconditions vehicles, the Company’s share of facility and shared reconditioning supplies expenses are related to the actual costs for operating the IRCs and the Company’s pro rata share of total reconditioned vehicles and parking spaces at such IRCs in a given month. Management has determined that the costs allocated to the Company are based on a reasonable methodology.

In December 2016, the Company entered into a lease agreement related to a vehicle IRC in Tolleson, Arizona, with Verde Investments, Inc., an affiliate of DriveTime ("Verde"), with an initial term of approximately 15 years. In August 2018, the Company entered into an additional lease agreement with a coterminous initial term with Verde for contiguous space to that IRC. The lease agreements require monthly rental payments and can each be extended for four additional five-year periods.
In February 2017, the Company entered into a lease agreement with DriveTime for sole occupancy of a fully operational IRC in Winder, Georgia, where the Company previously maintained partial occupancy. The lease has an initial term of eight years, subject to the Company's ability to exercise three renewal options of five years each.
In November 2018, the Company entered into a lease agreement with DriveTime for access to and utilization of a fully operational IRC near Cleveland, Ohio. DriveTime vacated the facility in February 2019, at which point the Company became the sole occupant and purchased certain leasehold improvements and equipment at the facility from DriveTime for DriveTime's net book value of approximately $4.3 million and began leasing the full facility from DriveTime. The lease has an initial term of three years, subject to the Company's ability to exercise three renewal options of five years each. Before DriveTime vacated the facility, the Company paid a monthly rental fee for facility and shared reconditioning costs, calculated based on the Company’s pro rata utilization of space at the IRC in a given month, along with a pro rata share of the facility’s actual insurance costs and real estate taxes. Management has determined that the costs allocated to the Company are based on a reasonable methodology.
Expenses related to these operating lease agreements are allocated based on usage to inventory and selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets and statements of operations. Costs allocated to inventory are recognized as cost of sales when the inventory is sold. During the three months ended September 30, 2019, total costs related to these operating lease agreements, including those noted above, were approximately $2.0 million with approximately $0.8 million and $1.2 million allocated to inventory and selling, general and administrative expenses, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, total costs related to these lease agreements were approximately $6.0 million with approximately $2.5 million and $3.5 million allocated to inventory and selling, general and administrative expenses, respectively. During the three months ended September 30, 2018, total costs related to these lease agreements were approximately $2.2 million with approximately $1.2 million and $1.0 million allocated to inventory and selling, general and administrative expenses, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, total costs related to these lease agreements were approximately $6.7 million with approximately $3.3 million and $3.4 million allocated to inventory and selling, general and administrative expenses, respectively.
Lease Assumption from DriveTime
In February 2019, the Company entered into an agreement to assume a lease of an IRC near Nashville, Tennessee that DriveTime leased from an unrelated landlord. As part of the agreement, the Company purchased from DriveTime certain leasehold improvements and equipment at the facility for DriveTime's net book value of approximately $2.0 million when the Company became the sole occupant in April 2019. The lease expires in four years, subject to the ability to exercise three renewal options of five years each. DriveTime remained an occupant of the facility through April 1, 2019 but is not fully released from lease obligations by the landlord.
Corporate Office Leases
In September 2016, the Company entered into a lease for the second floor of its corporate headquarters in Tempe, Arizona. DriveTime guaranteed up to $0.5 million of the Company's rent payments under that lease through September 2019. In connection with that lease, the Company entered into a sublease with DriveTime for the use of the first floor of the same building. The lease and sublease each have a term of 83 months, subject to the right to exercise three five-year extension options. Pursuant to the sublease, the Company will pay DriveTime rent equal to the amounts due under DriveTime's master lease. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, the rent expense incurred related to this first floor sublease was approximately $0.2 million and $0.7 million, respectively. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, the rent expense incurred related to this first floor sublease was approximately $0.2 million and $0.6 million, respectively.
Master Dealer Agreement
In December 2016, the Company entered into a master dealer agreement with DriveTime (the "Master Dealer Agreement"), pursuant to which the Company may sell VSCs to customers purchasing a vehicle from the Company. The Company earns a
CARVANA CO. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)
(Unaudited)
commission on each VSC sold to its customers and DriveTime is obligated by and subsequently administers the VSCs. The Company collects the retail purchase price of the VSCs from its customers and remits the purchase price net of commission to DriveTime. The Company recognized approximately $15.0 million and $38.2 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively, and approximately $6.7 million and $16.4 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively, of commissions earned on VSCs sold to its customers and administered by DriveTime, net of a reserve for estimated contract cancellations. The commission earned on the sale of these VSCs is included in other sales and revenues in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. In November 2018, the Company amended the Master Dealer Agreement to allow the Company to receive payments for excess reserves based on the performance of the VSCs versus the reserves held by the VSC administrator, once a required claims period for such VSCs has passed. The Company recognized approximately $0.8 million and $2.2 million, respectively, during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, and $0.0 million during both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 related to payments for excess reserves to which it expects to be entitled, which is included in other sales and revenues in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.
Beginning in 2017, DriveTime also administers a portion of the Company's GAP waiver coverage and the limited warranty provided to all customers under the Master Dealer Agreement. The Company pays a per-contract fee to DriveTime to administer a portion of the GAP waiver coverage it sells to its customers and a per-vehicle fee to DriveTime to administer the limited warranty included with every purchase. The Company incurred approximately $1.2 million and $3.1 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively, and $0.7 million and $1.5 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively, related to the administration of GAP waiver coverage and limited warranty. As of September 30, 2019, the majority of the Company's GAP waiver coverage sales are administered by an unrelated party.
GAP Waiver Insurance Policy
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company purchased insurance policies from BlueShore Insurance Company ("BlueShore"), an affiliate of DriveTime, for approximately $0.1 million and $1.7 million, respectively, that reimburses the lienholder of finance receivables with GAP waiver coverage for any GAP waiver claims on a defined set of finance receivables that the Company sold in its securitization transactions. This insurance is transferred with the underlying finance receivable. In March 2019, the Company entered into a retrospective profit sharing agreement with BlueShore under which the Company will share in the profits generated from the insurance policies by receiving a portion of the excess of the premium it paid to BlueShore, net of a fee, compared to the amount BlueShore pays out related to the GAP waiver claims. As of September 30, 2019, the Company held a receivable of approximately $0.2 million, which is included in other assets on the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets, related to this retrospective profit sharing agreement.
Servicing and Administrative Fees
DriveTime provides servicing and administrative functions associated with the Company's finance receivables. The Company incurred expenses of approximately $1.7 million and $2.7 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively, and $0.2 million and $0.6 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively, related to these services.
Aircraft Time Sharing Agreement
The Company entered into an agreement to share usage of two aircraft owned by Verde and operated by DriveTime on October 22, 2015, and the agreement was subsequently amended on May 15, 2017. Pursuant to the agreement, the Company agreed to reimburse DriveTime for actual expenses for each of its flights. The original agreement was for 12 months, with perpetual 12-month automatic renewals. Either the Company or DriveTime can terminate the agreement with 30 days’ prior written notice. The Company reimbursed DriveTime approximately $0.1 million and 0.2 million under this agreement during the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and approximately $0.4 million under this agreement during each of the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018.
Senior Unsecured Notes Held by Verde
As of both September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, Verde held $15.0 million of principal of the Company's outstanding senior unsecured notes, which are described further in Note 9 — Debt Instruments.

Accounts Payable Due to Related Party
As of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, approximately $6.8 million and $3.9 million, respectively, was due to related parties primarily related to the agreements mentioned above, and is included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.
Contribution Agreements
On September 10, 2018, the Company announced a commitment by its Chief Executive Officer, Ernest Garcia III, to contribute shares of the Company's Class A common stock, for each then-current employee from his personal shareholdings to the Company at no charge (the “Share Contributions”). His contributions are intended to fund equity awards of 165 restricted stock units to each of the Company's then-current employees upon their satisfying certain employment tenure requirements (the "100k Milestone Gift"). The Company entered into certain contribution agreements related to his commitment in order to effect the transfer of shares from Mr. Garcia to the Company. The Company does not expect Mr. Garcia to incur any tax obligations related to the Share Contributions, but pursuant to a series of contribution agreements, it has indemnified Mr. Garcia from any such obligations that may arise. See Note 10 — Stockholders' Equity and Note 12 — Equity-Based Compensation for further discussion.
IP License Agreement
In February 2017, the Company entered into a license agreement that governs the rights of certain intellectual property owned by the Company and the rights of certain intellectual property owned by DriveTime. The license agreement, which was amended and restated in April 2017, generally provides that each party grants to the other certain limited exclusive (other than with respect to the licensor party and its affiliates) and non-exclusive licenses to use certain of its intellectual property, and each party agrees to certain covenants not to sue the other party, its affiliates and certain of its service providers in connection with various patent claims. The exclusive license to DriveTime is limited to the business that is primarily of subprime used car sales to retail customers. However, upon a change of control of either party, both parties’ license rights as to certain future improvements to licensed intellectual property and all limited exclusivity rights are terminated. The agreement does not provide a license to any of the Company's patents, trademarks, logos, customers’ personally identifiable information or any intellectual property related to the Company's vending machines, automated vehicle photography or certain other elements of the Company's brand.
NOTE 7 — FINANCE RECEIVABLE SALE AGREEMENTS
In December 2016, the Company entered into a master purchase and sale agreement (the "Master Purchase and Sale Agreement" or "MPSA") and a master transfer agreement (the "2016 Master Transfer Agreement") pursuant to which it sells finance receivables meeting certain underwriting criteria to certain financing partners, including Ally Bank and Ally Financial (the "Ally Parties"). Through November 2017 under the MPSA and the 2016 Master Transfer Agreement, the Company could sell up to an aggregate of $375.0 million, and $292.2 million, respectively, in principal balances of finance receivables subject to adjustment as described in the respective agreements.
On November 3, 2017, the Company amended its MPSA to increase the aggregate amount of principal balances of finance receivables it can sell from $375.0 million to $1.5 billion. On November 2, 2018, the Company amended the MPSA to, among other things and subject to the terms of the agreement, commit the purchaser to purchase up to a maximum of $1.25 billion of principal balances of finance receivables after the amendment date. Subsequently, on April 19, 2019, the Company amended the MPSA to, among other things and subject to the terms of the agreement, commit the purchaser to purchase up to a maximum of $1.0 billion of principal balances of finance receivables after the amendment date.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, the Company sold approximately $324.6 million and $521.7 million, respectively, in principal balances of finance receivables under the MPSA and had approximately $752.6 million of unused capacity as of September 30, 2019.
On November 3, 2017, the Company terminated the remaining capacity under the 2016 Master Transfer Agreement and replaced this facility by entering into a new master transfer agreement (the "2017 Master Transfer Agreement") with a purchaser trust under which the trust committed to purchase up to an aggregate of approximately $357.1 million in principal balances of finance receivables. On November 2, 2018, the Company amended the 2017 Master Transfer Agreement to, among
CARVANA CO. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)
(Unaudited)
other things and subject to the terms of the agreement, increase and extend the trust's commitment to purchase finance receivables from the Company.
On May 7, 2019, the Company purchased the certificate of the trust for $34.0 million, net of cash acquired. At the time of acquisition the trust assets included $139.7 million of finance receivables that the Company had previously sold to the trust under the 2017 Master Transfer Agreement, and its liabilities included $105.7 million in associated debt and other liabilities. In connection with the certificate purchase, the Company and Ally Bank entered into an Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement (the "A&R Loan and Security Agreement") pursuant to which Ally Bank agreed to provide a $350.0 million revolving credit facility (the "SART 2017-1 Credit Facility") to fund certain automotive finance receivables originated by the Company, as further described in Note 9 — Debt Instruments.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, prior to the acquisition of the certificate in the trust, the Company sold approximately $139.3 million in principal balances of finance receivables under the 2017 Master Transfer Agreement. During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, the Company sold approximately $306.5 million in principal balances of finance receivables under the 2017 Master Transfer Agreement.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, prior to the certificate purchase, the Company also purchased finance receivables that it previously sold to the purchaser trust under the 2017 Master Transfer Agreement for a total price of approximately $127.7 million and immediately resold such finance receivables into a securitization transaction, which is described further in Note 8 — Securitizations and Variable Interest Entities. This transaction was entered into in connection with the securitization transaction and was entered into independently from the terms of the 2017 Master Transfer Agreement.
The total gain related to finance receivables sold to financing partners under the MPSA, the 2017 Master Transfer Agreement and to investors in securitization transactions discussed in Note 8 — Securitizations and Variable Interest Entities was approximately $39.8 million and $13.3 million during the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and $99.4 million and $35.7 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, which is included in other sales and revenues in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.
NOTE 8 — SECURITIZATIONS AND VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES
Beginning in 2019, the Company sponsors and establishes securitization trusts to purchase finance receivables from the Company. The securitization trusts issue asset-backed securities, some of which are collateralized by the finance receivables that the Company sells to the securitization trusts. Upon transfer of the finance receivables to the securitization trusts, the Company recognizes a gain or loss on sales of finance receivables. The net proceeds from the sales are the fair value of the assets obtained as part of the transactions and typically include cash and at least 5% of the beneficial interests issued by the securitization trusts to comply with Risk Retention Rules. The beneficial interests retained by the Company include but are not limited to rated notes and certificates of the securitization trusts. The holders of the certificates issued by the securitization trusts have rights to cash flows only after the holders of the notes issued by the securitization trusts have received their contractual cash flows. The securitization trusts have no direct recourse to the Company’s assets, and holders of the securities issued by the securitization trusts can look only to the assets of the securitization trusts that issued their securities for payment. The beneficial interests held by the Company are subject principally to the credit and prepayment risk stemming from the underlying finance receivables.
As described in Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, the securitization trusts established in connection with asset-backed securitization transactions are VIEs. For each VIE that the Company establishes in its role as sponsor of securitization transactions, it performs an analysis to determine whether or not it is the primary beneficiary of the VIE. The Company’s continuing involvement with the VIEs consists of retaining a portion of the securities issued by the VIEs and performing ministerial duties as the trust administrator. As of September 30, 2019, the Company is not the primary beneficiary of these securitization trusts because its retained interests in the VIEs do not have exposures to losses or benefits that could potentially be significant to the VIEs. The Company does not consolidate the securitization trusts.
The assets the Company retains in the unconsolidated VIEs are presented as beneficial interests in securitizations on the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets, which as of September 30, 2019 were approximately $75.8 million. The Company held no other assets or liabilities related to its involvement with unconsolidated VIEs as of September 30, 2019.

The following table summarizes the carrying value and total exposure to losses of its assets related to unconsolidated VIEs with which the Company has continuing involvement, but is not the primary beneficiary at September 30, 2019. Total exposure represents the estimated loss the Company would incur under severe, hypothetical circumstances, such as if the value of the interests in the securitization trusts and any associated collateral declined to zero. The Company believes the possibility of this is remote. As such, the total exposure presented below is not an indication of the Company's expected losses.

NOTE 9 — DEBT INSTRUMENTS
Short-Term Revolving Facilities
Floor Plan Facility
The Company has a floor plan facility with a lender to finance its used vehicle inventory, which is secured by substantially all of its assets, other than the Company's interests in real property (the "Floor Plan Facility"). The facility has a maturity date of October 31, 2020 and requires monthly interest payments on borrowings under the Floor Plan Facility. The Company most recently amended the Floor Plan Facility in November 2019 to, among other things, increase the available capacity to $950.0 million from $650.0 million, adding flexibility to acquire more vehicles from customers. The annual interest rate was reduced to one-month LIBOR plus 3.15% if the average outstanding balance on the Floor Plan Facility in the previous calendar month is greater than $500.0 million and otherwise remains unchanged from one-month LIBOR plus 3.40%. The amendment also requires that at least 7.5% of the total principal amount owed to the lender is held as restricted cash, a change from 5%.
Repayment in an amount equal to the amount of the advance or loan must be made within five business days of selling or otherwise disposing of the underlying vehicle inventory, unless customers financed the purchase by originating an automotive finance receivable. For used vehicle sales involving financing originated by the Company and sold under either the MPSA or the Finance Receivable Facilities (as defined below), the lender has extended repayment to the earlier of fifteen business days after the sale of the used vehicle or one business day following the sale of the related finance receivable. With respect to such used vehicle sales involving financing that are not sold under either the MPSA or the Finance Receivables Facilities, the lender agreed to extend repayment of the advance or the loan for such vehicles to the earlier of fifteen business days after the sale of the vehicle or two business days following the funding of the related finance receivable. Outstanding balances related to vehicles held in inventory for more than 180 days require monthly principal payments equal to 10% of the original principal amount of that vehicle until the remaining outstanding balance is the lesser of (i) 50% of the original principal amount or (ii) 50% of the wholesale value. Prepayments may be made without incurring a premium or penalty. Additionally, the Company is permitted to make prepayments to the lender to be held as principal payments under the Floor Plan Facility and subsequently reborrow such amounts.

(Unaudited)
As of September 30, 2019, the interest rate on the Floor Plan Facility was approximately 5.42%, the Company had an outstanding balance under this facility of approximately $243.0 million, unused capacity of approximately $407.0 million, and held approximately $12.2 million in restricted cash related to this facility. As of December 31, 2018, the interest rate on the Floor Plan Facility was approximately 5.90%, the Company had an outstanding balance of approximately $197.0 million and held approximately $9.8 million in restricted cash related to this facility.
Finance Receivable Facilities
In April 2019, the Company and Ally Bank entered in a Loan and Security Agreement pursuant to which Ally Bank agreed to provide a $300.0 million revolving credit facility (the "DART I Credit Facility") to fund certain automotive finance receivables originated by the Company. The Company can draw upon the DART I Credit Facility until April 17, 2020, and it has an annual interest rate of one-month LIBOR plus a spread ranging from 1.00% to 1.80%.
In May 2019, the Company and Ally Bank entered into the A&R Loan and Security Agreement in connection with the $350.0 million SART 2017-1 Credit Facility to fund certain automotive finance receivables originated by the Company. The Company can draw upon the SART 2017-1 Credit Facility until April 17, 2020, and it has an annual interest rate of one-month LIBOR plus 1.95%.
The DART I Credit Facility and the SART 2017-1 Credit Facility (collectively, the "Finance Receivable Facilities") each require that at least 2% of the outstanding pledged finance receivables principal balances, plus any undistributed amounts collected on the pledged finance receivables amount, is held as restricted cash.
Interest payments on the Finance Receivable Facilities are payable monthly on each draw date. Principal repayments will occur on the fifteenth day of each calendar month in an amount equal to the undistributed receivables collected. The lender will receive repayment in accordance with its respective commitment. Prepayment of the entire aggregate outstanding principal and any accrued unpaid interest through the next draw date is permitted twice per calendar quarter.
As of September 30, 2019, the DART I Credit Facility had an interest rate ranging between approximately 3.02% and 3.82%, and the SART 2017-1 Credit Facility had an interest rate of approximately 3.97%. The Company had an outstanding balance under the Finance Receivable Facilities of approximately $19.2 million, unused capacity of $630.8 million, and held approximately $1.3 million in restricted cash related to these facilities.
Long-Term Debt
Senior Unsecured Notes
On September 21, 2018, the Company issued an aggregate of $350.0 million in senior unsecured notes due 2023 (the "Existing Notes") under an indenture entered into by and among the Company, each of the guarantors party thereto and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee (the “Indenture”). On May 24, 2019, the Company issued $250.0 million in aggregate principal amount of additional notes (the "New Notes") under the Indenture, at a 100.5% premium. The Existing Notes and New Notes (together the "Senior Notes") are treated as a single class for all purposes and have the same terms. The Senior Notes accrue interest at a rate of 8.875% per annum, which is payable semi-annually in arrears on April 1 and October 1 of each year beginning April 1, 2019. The Senior Notes mature on October 1, 2023, unless earlier repurchased or redeemed, and are guaranteed by the Company's existing domestic restricted subsidiaries (other than the subsidiaries formed solely for the purpose of facilitating the Company's sales of its finance receivables, if any). The Company may redeem some or all of the Senior Notes on or after October 1, 2020 at redemption prices set forth in the Indenture, plus any accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date. Prior to October 1, 2020, the Company may redeem up to 35.0% of the aggregate principal amount of the Senior Notes at a redemption price equal to 108.875%, together with accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the date of redemption, with the net cash proceeds of certain equity offerings. In addition, the Company may, at its option, redeem some or all of the Senior Notes prior to October 1, 2020, by paying a make-whole premium plus any accrued and unpaid interest, to, but not including, the redemption date. If the Company experiences certain change of control events, it must make an offer to purchase all of the Senior Notes at 101.0% of the principal amount thereof, plus any accrued and unpaid interest, to the repurchase date.
The Indenture governing the Senior Notes contains restrictive covenants that limit the ability of the Company to, among other things, incur additional debt or issue preferred stock, create liens, create restrictions on the Company’s ability to make
CARVANA CO. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)

intercompany payments, pay dividends and make other distributions in respect of the Company's capital stock, redeem or repurchase the Company’s capital stock or prepay subordinated indebtedness, make certain investments or certain other restricted payments, guarantee indebtedness, designate unrestricted subsidiaries, sell certain kinds of assets, enter into certain types of transactions with affiliates, and effect mergers or consolidations. Certain of these covenants will be suspended if the Senior Notes are assigned an investment grade rating from any two of Moody’s Investors Service, Inc., Standard & Poor’s Rating Services, and Fitch Ratings, Inc., and there is no continuing default. As of September 30, 2019, the Company was in compliance with all covenants.
In connection with the issuance of these Senior Notes, Carvana Group amended its LLC agreement to create a class of non-convertible preferred units, which Carvana Co. purchased with its net proceeds from the issuance of these Senior Notes, as further discussed in Note 10 — Stockholders' Equity.
The outstanding principal of the Senior Notes, net of debt issuance costs and including the premium, was approximately $590.5 million and $342.9 million as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively, of which $15.0 million of principal was held by Verde, and is included in long-term debt in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.
Notes Payable
The Company has entered into promissory note and disbursement agreements to finance certain equipment for its transportation fleet and building improvements. The assets financed with the proceeds from these notes serve as the collateral for each note and certain security agreements related to these assets have cross collateralization and cross default provisions with respect to one another. Each note has a fixed annual interest rate, a two to five-year term and requires monthly payments. As of September 30, 2019, the outstanding principal of these notes had a weighted-average interest rate of 6.2% and totaled approximately $29.5 million, of which approximately $10.9 million is due within the next twelve months and is included in current portion of long-term debt in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet.
Other Real Estate Financing Transactions
The Company finances certain purchases and construction of its property and equipment through various sale and leaseback transactions. As of September 30, 2019, none of these transactions have qualified for sale accounting due to meeting the criteria for finance leases, or forms of continuing involvement, such as repurchase options or renewal periods that extend the lease for substantially all of the asset's remaining useful life, and are therefore accounted for as financing transactions. These arrangements require monthly payments and have initial terms that expire in fifteen to twenty years. Some of the agreements are subject to renewal options of up to twenty years and base rent increases throughout the term. As of September 30, 2019, the outstanding liability associated with these sale and leaseback arrangements, net of unamortized debt issuance costs, is approximately $91.2 million and is included in long-term debt in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet.
In November 2017, the Company entered into a master sale-leaseback agreement (the "Master Sale-Leaseback Agreement" or "MSLA"), which was amended in November 2018, pursuant to which it may sell and lease back certain of its owned or leased properties and construction improvements. Under the MSLA, at any time the Company may elect to, and beginning in November 2020 or until a property owner of a leased site consents to the sale-leaseback, the purchaser has the right to demand that the Company repurchase one or more of the properties sold and leased back pursuant to the MSLA for an amount equal to the repurchase price. Repurchase prices are defined in each of the applicable leases and are generally the original purchase prices plus any accrued and unpaid rent. Under the MSLA, the total sales price of properties the Company has sold and is leasing back at any point in time is limited to $75.0 million. By December 31, 2018, the Company repurchased all properties it had previously sold under the MSLA for a price of approximately $28.8 million. As of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company may sell and lease back approximately $75.0 million of its property and equipment under the MSLA.
Financing of Beneficial Interests in Securitizations
In June 2019, the Company entered into a secured borrowing facility through which it finances certain retained beneficial interests in securitizations whereby the Company sells such interests and agrees to repurchase them for their fair value at a

stated time of repurchase. As discussed in Note 8 — Securitizations and Variable Interest Entities, the Company has retained certain beneficial interests in securitizations pursuant to the Company’s obligations as a sponsor under Risk Retention Rules.
As of September 30, 2019, the Company has pledged approximately $64.9 million of its beneficial interests in securitizations as collateral under the repurchase agreement with expected repurchases ranging from January 2026 to July 2026. Pledged collateral levels are monitored daily and are generally maintained at an agreed-upon percentage of the fair value of the amounts borrowed during the life of the transaction. In the event of a decline in the fair value of the pledged collateral, the repurchase price of the pledged collateral will be increased by the amount of the decline.
The outstanding balance of this facility, net of debt issuance costs, was approximately $63.1 million as of September 30, 2019, of which approximately $20.0 million is included in current portion of long-term debt in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.
NOTE 10 — STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY
Immediately prior to the IPO, Carvana Co. amended and restated its certificate of incorporation to, among other things authorize (i) 50.0 million shares of Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share, (ii) 500.0 million shares of Class A common stock, par value $0.001 per share, and (iii) 125.0 million shares of Class B common stock, par value $0.001 per share. On December 5, 2017, Carvana Co. amended and restated its certificate of incorporation to authorize 100,000 shares of Convertible Preferred Stock, with an initial stated value of $1,000 per share and a par value of $0.01 per share. Each share of Class A common stock generally entitles its holder to one vote on all matters to be voted on by stockholders. Each share of Class B common stock held by the Garcia Parties generally entitles its holder to ten votes on all matters to be voted on by stockholders, for so long as the Garcia Parties maintain direct or indirect beneficial ownership of at least 25% of the outstanding shares of Carvana Co.'s Class A common stock determined on an as-exchanged basis assuming that all of the Class A Units and Class B Units were exchanged for Class A common stock. All other shares of Class B common stock generally entitle their holders to one vote per share on all matters to be voted on by stockholders. Holders of Class B common stock are not entitled to receive dividends and would not be entitled to receive any distributions upon the liquidation, dissolution or winding down of the Company. Holders of Class A and Class B common stock vote together as a single class on all matters presented to stockholders for their vote or approval, except as otherwise required by applicable law.
Carvana Group's amended and restated LLC Agreement provides for two classes of common ownership interests in Carvana Group. Carvana Group’s two classes of common ownership interests are Class A Units and Class B Units (the "LLC Units"). Carvana Co. is required to, at all times, maintain (i) a four-to-five ratio between the number of shares of Class A common stock issued and outstanding by Carvana Co. and the number of Class A Units owned by Carvana Co. (subject to certain exceptions for treasury shares and shares underlying certain convertible or exchangeable securities and subject to adjustment as set forth in the exchange agreement (the "Exchange Agreement") further discussed below, and taking into account Carvana Sub’s 0.1% ownership interest in Carvana, LLC) and (ii) a four-to-five ratio between the number of shares of Class B common stock owned by the original holders of LLC units prior to the IPO (the "Original LLC Unitholders") and the number of Class A Units owned by the Original LLC Unitholders. The Company may issue shares of Class B common stock only to the extent necessary to maintain these ratios. Shares of Class B common stock are transferable only if an Original LLC Unitholder elects to exchange them, together with 1.25 times as many LLC Units, for consideration from the Company. Such consideration from the Company can be, at the Company’s election, either shares of Class A common stock or cash.
As of September 30, 2019, there were approximately 189.5 million and 5.0 million Class A Units and Class B Units (as adjusted for the participation thresholds), respectively, issued and outstanding. As discussed in Note 12 — Equity-Based Compensation, Class B Units were issued under the Company’s LLC Equity Incentive Plan (the “LLC Equity Incentive Plan”) and are subject to a participation threshold and are earned over the requisite service period.
Public Equity Offerings
On April 30, 2018, the Company completed a follow-on offering of 6.6 million shares of its Class A common stock at a public offering price of $27.50 per share and received net proceeds from the offering of approximately $172.3 million after underwriting discounts and commissions and offering expenses.
CARVANA CO. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)
(Unaudited)
A holder of Class A common stock (the "Selling Stockholder") and certain LLC Unitholders (the "Selling LLC Unitholders") sold a total of approximately 6.1 million shares of Class A common stock as part of the offering. The Selling LLC Unitholders exchanged approximately 6.9 million LLC Units for approximately 5.6 million shares of Class A common stock to be sold in the offering, and to the extent such Selling LLC Unitholder held Class B common stock, the corresponding shares of Class B common stock were immediately retired by the Company. The Company did not receive any proceeds from the sale of the approximately 6.1 million shares of Class A common stock by the Selling Stockholder and the Selling LLC Unitholders.
On May 24, 2019, the Company completed a public equity offering of 4.2 million shares of the Company's Class A common stock at a public offering price of $65.00 per share and received net proceeds from the offering of approximately $258.8 million after underwriting discounts and commissions and offering expenses. As part of the offering, the Company granted the underwriters a 30-day option to purchase all or part of approximately 0.6 million additional shares of Class A common stock. On June 20, 2019, the underwriters exercised their option in full for an additional $38.9 million in proceeds after offering expenses.
Exchange Agreement
Carvana Co. and the LLC Unitholders entered into an Exchange Agreement under which each LLC Unitholder (and certain permitted transferees thereof) may receive shares of the Company's Class A common stock in exchange for their LLC Units on a four-to-five conversion ratio, or cash at the option of the Company, subject to conversion ratio adjustments for stock splits, stock dividends, reclassifications and similar transactions and subject to vesting for certain Class A Units and subject to vesting and the respective participation threshold for Class B Units. To the extent such owners also hold Class B common stock, they will be required to deliver to Carvana Co. a number of shares of Class B common stock equal to the number of shares of Class A common stock being exchanged for. Any shares of Class B common stock so delivered will be canceled. The number of exchangeable Class B Units is determined based on the value of Carvana Co.'s Class A common stock and the applicable participation threshold.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, certain LLC Unitholders exchanged 5.2 million LLC Units and 3.1 million shares of Class B common stock for 4.1 million newly-issued shares of Class A common stock. Simultaneously, and in connection with these exchanges, Carvana Co. received approximately 5.2 million LLC Units, increasing its total ownership interest in Carvana Group, and canceled the exchanged shares of Class B common stock.
Convertible Preferred Stock
On December 5, 2017, Carvana Co. sold 100,000 shares of Convertible Preferred Stock for a purchase price of $100.0 million and net proceeds of approximately $98.5 million, which it used to purchase 100,000 Convertible Preferred Units of Carvana Group at a price per unit equal to the initial stated value of the Convertible Preferred Stock less issuance costs. The Convertible Preferred Stock has a par value of $0.01 per share and a liquidation value of $1,000 per share.
At the holder's request beginning on January 29, 2018, any or all shares of the Convertible Preferred Stock were convertible into shares of Class A common stock at an initial conversion rate of 50.78 shares of Class A common stock per share of Convertible Preferred Stock. On or after December 5, 2018, the Company had the option to cause all shares of Convertible Preferred Stock to be converted into shares of Class A common stock or cash, at the Company's election, if the 10-day volume-weighted average price equaled or exceeded 150% of the conversion price as set forth in the agreement. In the event Carvana Co. issued any shares of Class A common stock upon conversion of any shares of Convertible Preferred Stock or in connection with any change of control repurchase of shares of Convertible Preferred Stock, a corresponding number of Convertible Preferred Units would be canceled and cease to be outstanding, and Carvana Group would issue Class A Units to Carvana Co. on a four-to-five ratio between the number of shares of Class A common stock issued by Carvana Co. to the holders of the Convertible Preferred Stock and the number of Class A Units issued.
The initial conversion price was $19.6945, which was calculated based on a 20.0% premium to the volume weighted-average price for Class A common stock during the 5 trading days immediately preceding December 4, 2017. Following announcement of the transaction, the share price of Class A common stock increased and exceeded the conversion price on the commitment date and resulted in a beneficial conversion feature ("BCF") of approximately $2.6 million. The BCF was originally recorded as a reduction of the Convertible Preferred Stock with an offset to additional paid-in capital. The BCF accreted as a deemed dividend through January 29, 2018, the first available conversion date, increasing the carrying value of the
CARVANA CO. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)
(Unaudited)
Convertible Preferred Stock with an offsetting charge to additional paid-in capital. During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, the Company recorded the remaining $1.4 million in accretion related to the BCF.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, the Company paid approximately $4.3 million of dividends to the holders of the Convertible Preferred Stock and Carvana Group distributed approximately $4.3 million to Carvana Co. with respect to the Convertible Preferred Units.
During the year ended December 31, 2018, at the holder's request 75,000 shares of Convertible Preferred Stock, and at the Company's election 25,000 shares of Convertible Preferred Stock, were converted into a total of approximately 5.1 million shares of Class A common stock. Simultaneously with each conversion, an equal number of Convertible Preferred Units were canceled and Carvana Group issued approximately 6.3 million Class A Units to Carvana Co. As of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, there were no outstanding shares of Convertible Preferred Stock and no related accrued dividends.
Class A Non-Convertible Preferred Units
On October 2, 2018, Carvana Group amended its LLC Agreement to create a class of non-convertible preferred units (the "Class A Non-Convertible Preferred Units"), effective September 21, 2018. The Class A Non-Convertible Preferred Units were created in connection with Carvana Co.'s issuance of the Senior Notes in September 2018 and May 2019, as discussed further in Note 9 — Debt Instruments. Carvana Co. used its net proceeds from the Senior Notes to purchase a total of 600,000 Class A Non-Convertible Preferred Units. In the event Carvana Co. makes payments on the Senior Notes, Carvana Group will make an equal cash distribution to the Class A Non-Convertible Preferred Units. For each $1,000 principal amount of Senior Notes that Carvana Co. repays or otherwise retires, one Class A Non-Convertible Preferred Unit shall be canceled and retired.
Contribution of Class A Common Shares From Ernest Garcia III
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, the Company and its Chief Executive Officer, Ernest Garcia III, entered into contribution agreements (the "Contribution Agreements") in connection with the 100k Milestone Gift, as defined in Note 6 — Related Party Transactions. Pursuant to the Contribution Agreements, Mr. Garcia contributed approximately 0.1 million and 0.2 million shares during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively, and 0.2 million shares in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, of the Company's Class A common stock to the Company, at no charge. The Company subsequently granted approximately 0.1 million and 0.2 million restricted stock units during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively, and 0.2 million restricted stock units during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 to employees. Refer to Note 12 — Equity-Based Compensation for further discussion. Although the Company does not expect Mr. Garcia to incur any tax obligations related to the share contribution, it has indemnified Mr. Garcia from any such obligations that may arise.
NOTE 11 — NON-CONTROLLING INTERESTS
As discussed in Note 1 — Business Organization, Carvana Co. consolidates the financial results of Carvana Group and reports a non-controlling interest related to the portion of Carvana Group owned by the LLC Unitholders. Changes in the ownership interest in Carvana Group while Carvana Co. retains its controlling interest will be accounted for as equity transactions. Exchanges of LLC Units result in a change in ownership and reduce the amount recorded as non-controlling interests and increase additional paid-in capital.
Upon the issuance of shares of Class A common stock by Carvana Co. related to the Company’s equity compensation plans such as the exercise of options, issuance of restricted or non-restricted stock, payment of bonuses in stock or settlement of stock appreciation rights in stock, Carvana Group is required to issue to Carvana Co. a number of Class A Units equal to 1.25 times the number of shares of Class A common stock being issued in connection with the exercise of such options or issuance of other types of equity compensation, subject to adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends, reclassifications and similar transactions. Activity related to the Company's equity compensation plans may result in a change in ownership which will impact the amount recorded as non-controlling interest and additional paid-in capital.
The non-controlling interest related to the Class B Units is determined based on the respective participation thresholds and the share price of Class A common stock on an as-converted basis. To the extent that the number of as-converted Class B Units change or Class B Units are forfeited, the resulting difference in ownership will be accounted for as equity transactions adjusting the non-controlling interest and additional paid-in capital.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, the total adjustments related to exchanges of LLC Units were a decrease in non-controlling interests and a corresponding increase in additional paid-in capital of approximately $4.7 million, which has been included in exchanges of LLC Units in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statement of stockholders' equity. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, Carvana Co. utilized its net proceeds from its equity offering to purchase LLC Units, which resulted in an adjustment to increase non-controlling interests and to decrease additional paid-in capital by approximately $201.0 million, which has been included in adjustment to non-controlling interests related to equity offering in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statement of stockholders' equity.
As of September 30, 2019, Carvana Co. owned approximately 32.2% of Carvana Group with the LLC Unitholders owning the remaining 67.8%. The net loss attributable to the non-controlling interests on the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations represents the portion of the net loss attributable to the economic interest in Carvana Group held by the non-controlling LLC Unitholders calculated based on the weighted average non-controlling interests' ownership during the periods presented.

NOTE 12 — EQUITY-BASED COMPENSATION
Equity-based compensation expense is recognized based on amortizing the grant-date fair value on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period of the award, less actual forfeitures. A summary of equity-based compensation expense recognized during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 is as follows (in thousands):

As of September 30, 2019, the total unrecognized compensation expense related to outstanding equity awards was approximately $54.1 million, which the Company expects to recognize over a weighted-average period of approximately 2.9 years. Total unrecognized equity-based compensation expense will be adjusted for actual forfeitures.
2017 Omnibus Incentive Plan
In connection with the IPO, the Company adopted the 2017 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the "2017 Incentive Plan"). Under the 2017 Incentive Plan, 14.0 million shares of Class A common stock are available for issuance, which the Company may grant as stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units ("RSUs") and other stock-based awards to employees, directors, officers and consultants. As discussed in Note 10 — Stockholders' Equity, during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company granted approximately 0.1 million and 0.2 million RSUs, respectively, and 0.2 million for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 with a vesting period of one day following receipt of Class A common stock from its Chief Executive Officer, Ernest Garcia III. The Company recognized approximately $4.4 million and $10.4 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively, and $10.4 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 of equity-based compensation, a portion of which related to the production of the Company's used vehicle inventory and was therefore capitalized to inventory. The majority of the Company's equity awards, other than those granted in relation to Mr. Garcia's 100k Milestone Gift, vest over two- to five- year periods based on continued employment with the Company. As of September 30, 2019, approximately 10.9 million shares remain available for future equity award grants under this plan.
Class A Units
During 2018, the Company granted certain employees Class A Units with service-based vesting over two- to four- year periods and a grant-date fair value of $18.58 per Class A Unit. The grantees entered into the Exchange Agreement under which each LLC Unitholder (and certain permitted transferees thereof) may receive shares of the Company's Class A common stock in exchange for their LLC Units on a four-to-five conversion ratio, or cash at the option of the Company, subject to conversion ratio adjustments for stock splits, stock dividends, reclassifications and similar transactions and subject to vesting.

Class B Units
In March 2015, Carvana Group adopted the LLC Equity Incentive Plan. Under the LLC Equity Incentive Plan, Carvana Group could grant Class B Units to eligible employees, non-employee officers, consultants and directors with service vesting conditions. Following completion of the IPO, Carvana Group discontinued the grant of new awards under the LLC Equity Incentive Plan, however the LLC Equity Incentive Plan will continue in connection with administration of existing awards that remain outstanding. There were no Class B Units issued during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 or September 30, 2018.
NOTE 13 — LOSS PER SHARE
Basic and diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss attributable to Class A common stockholders by the weighted-average shares of Class A common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per share is computed by giving effect to all potentially dilutive shares. For all periods presented, potentially dilutive shares are excluded from diluted net loss per share because they have an anti-dilutive impact. Therefore, basic and diluted net loss per share attributable to Class A common stockholders are the same for all periods presented.
The following table presents the calculation of basic and diluted net loss per share during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 (in thousands, except per share data):

Shares of Class B common stock do not share in the losses of the Company and are therefore not participating securities. As such, separate presentation of basic and diluted net loss per share of Class B common stock under the two-class method has not been presented. LLC Units (adjusted for the Exchange Ratio and participation thresholds) are considered potentially dilutive shares of Class A common stock because they are exchangeable into shares of Class A common stock.
Weighted-average as-converted shares of Convertible Preferred Stock of approximately 4.5 million and 4.9 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively, were evaluated under the if-converted method for potentially dilutive effects and were determined to be anti-dilutive. Weighted-average as-converted Class A Units together with the related Class B common stock of approximately 101.6 million and 106.3 million during the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and of approximately 102.6 million and 110.2 million during the nine months ended September 30,

2019 and September 30, 2018, respectively, were evaluated under the if-converted method for potentially dilutive effects and were determined to be anti-dilutive. Outstanding Class B Units of approximately 5.3 million and 6.5 million at September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, were evaluated for potentially dilutive effects and were determined to be anti-dilutive. Weighted-average potentially dilutive restricted stock awards and units of approximately 0.6 million and 0.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and approximately 0.8 million and 0.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, were evaluated under the treasury stock method for potentially dilutive effects and were determined to be anti-dilutive. As of September 30, 2019 and 2018, 1.2 million and 0.8 million options, respectively, were outstanding and evaluated under the treasury stock method for potentially dilutive effects and were determined to be anti-dilutive.
NOTE 14 — INCOME TAXES
As described in Note 1 — Business Organization, as a result of the IPO, Carvana Co. began consolidating the financial results of Carvana Group. Carvana Group is treated as a partnership for U.S. federal and most applicable state and local income tax purposes. As a partnership, Carvana Group is not subject to U.S. federal and certain state and local income taxes. Any taxable income or loss generated by Carvana Group is passed through to and included in the taxable income or loss of its members, including Carvana Co., based on its economic interest held in Carvana Group. Carvana Co. was formed on November 29, 2016 and did not engage in any operations prior to the IPO. Carvana Co. is taxed as a corporation and is subject to U.S. federal, state and local income taxes with respect to its allocable share of any taxable income or loss of Carvana Group, as well as any stand-alone income or loss generated by Carvana Co.
As described in Note 10 — Stockholders' Equity, during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company acquired approximately 0.6 million and 5.2 million LLC Units, respectively, in connection with exchanges with Existing LLC Unitholders. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company recorded a gross deferred tax asset of approximately $8.9 million and $60.5 million associated with the basis difference in its investment in Carvana Group related to the acquisition of these LLC Units which is reflected as an increase to additional paid-in capital in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statement of stockholders' equity.
As described in Note 10 — Stockholders' Equity, Carvana Co. purchased approximately 6.0 million newly-issued LLC Units of Carvana Group in connection with the equity offering on May 24, 2019 and subsequent option exercised by the underwriters. The Company recognized a gross deferred tax asset of approximately $7.5 million associated with a portion of the basis difference resulting from this purchase of LLC Units which is reflected as an increase to additional paid-in capital in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of stockholders' equity.
As described in Note 4 — Goodwill and Intangible Assets, Net, Carvana Group acquired Car360 on April 12, 2018. The acquisition included various intangible assets, and as a result the Company recognized a deferred tax liability of approximately $2.5 million which is reflected within other liabilities in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet. The deferred tax liability will be amortized over two to seven years and approximately $0.4 million and $0.0 million was amortized during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and September 30, 2018.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, management performed an assessment of the recoverability of deferred tax assets. Management determined, based on the accounting standards applicable to such assessment, that there was sufficient negative evidence as a result of the Company’s cumulative losses to conclude it was more likely than not that its deferred tax assets would not be realized and has recorded a full valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets. In the event that management was to determine that the Company would be able to realize its deferred tax assets in the future in excess of their net recorded amount, an adjustment to the valuation allowance would be made which would reduce the provision for income taxes.
The Company recognizes uncertain income tax positions when it is more-likely-than-not the position will be sustained upon examination. As of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company has not identified any uncertain tax positions and has not recognized any related reserves.
Tax Receivable Agreement
Carvana Co. expects to obtain an increase in its share of the tax basis in the net assets of Carvana Group when LLC Units are exchanged by the Existing LLC Unitholders and other qualifying transactions. As described in Note 10 — Stockholders'
CARVANA CO. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)
(Unaudited)
Equity, each change in outstanding shares of Class A common stock results in a corresponding increase or decrease in Carvana Co.'s ownership of LLC Units. The Company intends to treat any exchanges of LLC Units as direct purchases of LLC interests for U.S. federal income tax purposes. These increases in tax basis may reduce the amounts that Carvana Co. would otherwise pay in the future to various taxing authorities. They may also decrease gains (or increase losses) on future dispositions of certain capital assets to the extent tax basis is allocated to those capital assets.
In connection with the IPO, the Company entered into a Tax Receivable Agreement (“TRA”). Under the TRA, the Company generally will be required to pay to the Original LLC Unitholders 85% of the amount of cash savings, if any, in U.S. federal, state or local tax that the Company actually realizes directly or indirectly (or are deemed to realize in certain circumstances) as a result of (i) certain tax attributes created as a result of any sales or exchanges (as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes) to or with the Company of their interests in Carvana Group for shares of Carvana Co.'s Class A common stock or cash, including any basis adjustment relating to the assets of Carvana Group and (ii) tax benefits attributable to payments made under the TRA (including imputed interest). The Company expects to benefit from the remaining 15% of any tax benefits that it may actually realize. To the extent that the Company is unable to timely make payments under the TRA for any reason, such payments generally will be deferred and will accrue interest until paid.
If the Internal Revenue Service or a state or local taxing authority challenges the tax basis adjustments that give rise to payments under the TRA and the tax basis adjustments are subsequently disallowed, the recipients of payments under the agreement will not reimburse the Company for any payments the Company previously made to them. Any such disallowance would be taken into account in determining future payments under the TRA and would, therefore, reduce the amount of any such future payments. Nevertheless, if the claimed tax benefits from the tax basis adjustments are disallowed, the Company’s payments under the TRA could exceed its actual tax savings, and the Company may not be able to recoup payments under the TRA that were calculated on the assumption that the disallowed tax savings were available.
The TRA provides that if (i) certain mergers, asset sales, other forms of business combinations, or other changes of control were to occur, (ii) there is a material breach of any material obligations under the TRA; or (iii) the Company elects an early termination of the TRA, then the TRA will terminate and the Company's obligations, or the Company's successor’s obligations, under the TRA will accelerate and become due and payable, based on certain assumptions, including an assumption that the Company would have sufficient taxable income to fully utilize all potential future tax benefits that are subject to the TRA and that any LLC Units that have not been exchanged are deemed exchanged for the fair market value of the Company's Class A common stock at the time of termination.
As of September 30, 2019, the Company has concluded based on applicable accounting standards, that it was more likely than not that its deferred tax assets subject to the TRA would not be realized; therefore, the Company has not recorded a liability related to the tax savings it may realize from utilization of such deferred tax assets. As of September 30, 2019, the total unrecorded TRA liability is approximately $174.4 million. If utilization of the deferred tax assets subject to the TRA becomes more likely than not in the future, the Company will record a liability related to the TRA which will be recognized as expense within its consolidated statements of operations.
NOTE 15 — LEASES
The Company is party to various lease agreements for real estate and transportation equipment. For each lease agreement, the Company determines its lease term as the non-cancellable period of the lease and includes options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that it will exercise that option. The Company also assesses whether each lease is an operating or finance lease at the lease commencement date. Rent expense of operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term and includes scheduled rent increases as well as amortization of tenant improvement allowances.
Operating Leases
As of September 30, 2019, the Company is a tenant under various operating leases related to certain of its hubs, vending machines and corporate offices. The initial terms expire at various dates between 2020 and 2029. Many of the leases include one or more renewal options ranging from one to twenty years and some contain purchase options. The Company also had operating leases for certain of its transportation fleet. In March 2019, the Company reassessed the lease terms of the transportation equipment leases based on the likelihood of exercising its extension options and reclassified them to finance
CARVANA CO. AND SUBSIDIARIES

(Unaudited)
leases. Rent expense for the Company's operating leases was approximately $2.0 million and $5.2 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively.
In September 2019, the Company entered into a lease for additional corporate office space in Tempe, Arizona. The lease payments will commence on the later of October 1, 2020 or six months following the date the lessor vacates the entirety of the premises and grants access to the Company. The initial lease term is for approximately 13 years with one 3-year renewal option, and one subsequent option to renew through October 31, 2037. The lease has total future minimum lease payments of approximately $132.4 million over the initial term. On November 1, 2019, the lessor granted the Company access to a portion of the leased space, thus the lease for that space commenced.
Refer to Note 6 — Related Party Transactions for further discussion of operating leases with related parties.
Finance Leases
The Company has finance leases for certain equipment in its transportation fleet. The leases have initial terms of two to five years, some of which include extension options for up to four additional years, and require monthly payments. As of September 30, 2019, the outstanding amount of the finance leases is approximately $42.6 million, of which approximately $9.4 million is due within the next twelve months and is included as current portion of long-term debt in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet.

(1) Leases that are on a month-to-month basis, short-term leases, and lease extensions that the Company does not expect to exercise are not included.
(2) Related party lease payments exclude rent payments due under the DriveTime Lease Agreement and the DriveTime Hub Lease Agreement for locations where the Company shares space with DriveTime, as those are variable lease payments contingent upon the Company's utilization of the leased assets.
As described in Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, the Company adopted ASC 842 using the modified retrospective approach and various practical expedients and relief packages, which permitted the Company to refrain from restating comparative periods. Therefore, the following future minimum lease payments as of December 31, 2018

As part of its retail strategy, the Company provides a 100-day or 4,189-mile limited warranty to customers to repair certain broken or defective components of each used vehicle sold. As such, the Company accrues for such repairs based on actual claims incurred to-date and repair reserves based on historical trends. The liability was approximately $2.3 million and $1.4 million as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively, and is included in accounts payable and other accrued liabilities in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Legal Matters
From time to time, the Company is involved in various claims and legal actions that arise in the ordinary course of business. Although the results of litigation and claims cannot be predicted with certainty, as of September 30, 2019 the Company does not believe that the ultimate resolution of any legal actions, either individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on its financial position, results of operations, liquidity and capital resources.
Future litigation may be necessary to defend the Company and its partners by determining the scope, enforceability and validity of third party proprietary rights or to establish its own proprietary rights. The results of any current or future litigation cannot be predicted with certainty, and regardless of the outcome, litigation can have an adverse impact on the Company because of defense and settlement costs, diversion of management resources and other factors.
NOTE 17 — FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
A description of the fair value hierarchy and the Company's methodologies are included in Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies. As of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company held certain assets that were required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis and as of September 30, 2019, the Company held beneficial interests in securitizations for which it elected the fair value option.
The following tables are a summary of fair value measurements and hierarchy level at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 (in thousands):

(1) Consists of highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less and classified in cash and cash equivalents in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.
Beneficial Interests in Securitizations
Beneficial interests in securitizations include notes and certificates of the securitization trusts, the same securities as issued to other investors as described in Note 8 — Securitizations and Variable Interest Entities. Level 2 assets include beneficial interests in the most recent securitization which was completed on September 27, 2019. Given both the proximity to the end of the reporting period and lack of observable changes in economic inputs, the Company concluded the fair value when the securitization was completed represented the fair value at September 30, 2019.
The Company's beneficial interests in securitizations which are classified as Level 3 are classified as such due to the lack of observable market data to corroborate either the non-binding market consensus prices or the non-binding broker quotes. The significant unobservable market data includes market yields. Significant increases or decreases in market yields would result in a significantly higher or lower fair value measurement.
For beneficial interests in securitizations measured at fair value on a recurring basis, the Company's transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy are deemed to have occurred at the beginning of the reporting period on a quarterly basis. During three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company transferred beneficial interests acquired as part of both the March 29, 2019 and June 27, 2019 securitization transactions from Level 2 to Level 3. The assets were initially classified as Level 2 due to the transactions' proximity to the end of each respective reporting period and the lack of observable changes in
CARVANA CO. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)
(Unaudited)
economic inputs. As noted above, the Company uses significant unobservable inputs to measure the fair value of these assets on a recurring basis, thus they will be classified as Level 3 in future periods. There were no transfers out of Level 3 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019.
The following table presents additional information about Level 3 beneficial interests in securitizations measured at fair value on a recurring basis for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 (in thousands):

The Company did not have any Level 3 beneficial interests in securitizations in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying amounts of restricted cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities and accounts payable to related parties approximate fair value because their respective maturities are less than three months. The carrying value of the short-term revolving facilities were determined to approximate fair value due to their short-term duration and variable interest rates that approximate prevailing interest rates as of each reporting period. The carrying value of notes payable and sale leasebacks were determined to approximate fair value as each of the transactions were entered into at prevailing interest rates during each respective period and they have not materially changed as of or during the periods ended September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018.
The fair value of the Senior Notes, which are not carried at fair value on the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets, was determined using Level 2 inputs based on quoted market prices for the identical liability. The fair value of the Senior Notes as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 was as follows (in thousands):

NOTE 19 — SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Contribution Agreement
In connection with an ongoing commitment from the Company's Chief Executive Officer, Ernest Garcia III, related to the previously announced 100k Milestone Gift program, the Company and Mr. Garcia entered into a contribution agreement on November 5, 2019 under which Mr. Garcia will contribute to the Company 29,040 shares of Class A common stock that he individually owns, at no charge. The contribution will take place on November 8, 2019 and is intended to fund restricted stock unit awards to certain employees of Carvana, LLC upon their satisfying applicable employment tenure requirements. Although
CARVANA CO. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)

the Company does not expect Mr. Garcia to incur any tax obligations related to the contribution, the Company has indemnified Mr. Garcia from any such obligations that may arise.
Floor Plan Facility Amendment
On November 1, 2019, the Company amended the Floor Plan Facility to increase the line of credit to $950.0 million, reduce the interest rate to one-month LIBOR plus 3.15% if the average outstanding balance on the Floor Plan Facility in the previous calendar month is greater than $500.0 million, and requires that at least 7.5% of the total principal amount owed to the lender is held as restricted cash.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
Unless the context requires otherwise, references in this report to "Carvana," the “Company,” “we,” “us” and “our” refer to Carvana Co. and its consolidated subsidiaries. The following Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (“MD&A”) is provided as a supplement to, and should be read in conjunction with, our audited consolidated financial statements, the accompanying notes and the MD&A included in our most recent Annual Report filed on Form 10-K, as well as our consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes included in Item 1 of this Form 10-Q.
Overview
Carvana is a leading e-commerce platform for buying and selling used cars. We are transforming the used car buying experience by giving consumers what they want - a wide selection, great value and quality, transparent pricing and a simple, no pressure transaction. Each element of our business, from inventory procurement to fulfillment and overall ease of the online transaction, has been built for this singular purpose.
Our business combines a comprehensive online sales experience with a vertically integrated supply chain that allows us to sell high-quality vehicles to our customers transparently and efficiently at a low price. Using our website, customers can complete all phases of a used vehicle purchase transaction. Specifically, our online sales experience allows customers to:
•Purchase a used vehicle. As of September 30, 2019, we listed approximately 21,300 vehicles for sale on our website, where customers can select and purchase a vehicle, including arranging financing and signing contracts, directly from their desktop or mobile device. Selling used vehicles to retail customers is the primary driver of our business. Selling used vehicles generates revenue equal to the selling price of the vehicle, less an allowance for returns, and also enables multiple additional revenue streams, including vehicle service contracts (“VSCs”), GAP waiver coverage and trade-ins.
•Finance their purchase. Customers can pay for their Carvana vehicle using cash, our proprietary loan origination platform or financing from other parties such as banks or credit unions. Customers who choose to apply for our in-house financing fill out a short prequalification form, select from a range of financing terms we provide and, if approved, apply the financing to their purchase in our online checkout process. We generally seek to sell the loans we originate to financing partners or pursuant to a securitization transaction and in each case earn a premium upon sale.
•Protect their purchase. Customers have the option to protect their vehicle with a CarvanaCare-branded VSC as part of our online checkout process. VSCs provide customers with insurance against certain mechanical repairs after the expiration of their vehicle’s original manufacturer warranty. We earn a fee for selling VSCs on behalf of DriveTime who is the obligor under these VSCs. We generally have no contractual liability to customers for claims under these agreements. We also offer GAP waiver coverage to customers in most states in which we operate. This product contractually obligates the owner of the loan to cancel the remaining principal outstanding after insurance proceeds in a total loss event.
•Sell us their car. We allow our customers to trade-in a vehicle and apply the trade-in value to their purchase, or to sell us a vehicle independent of a purchase. Using our digital appraisal tool, customers can complete a short appraisal form and receive a firm offer for their vehicle nearly instantaneously. We generate trade-in offers using a proprietary valuation algorithm supported by extensive used vehicle market and customer-behavior data. When customers accept our offer, we take their vehicles into inventory and sell them either at auction as a wholesale sale or through our website as a retail sale. Vehicles sold at auction typically do not meet the quality or condition standards required to be included in retail inventory displayed for sale on our website.
To enable a seamless customer experience, we have built a vertically-integrated used vehicle supply chain, supported by proprietary software systems and data.
•Vehicle sourcing and acquisition. We acquire our used vehicle inventory primarily from wholesale auctions and customers. We also acquire vehicles directly from used vehicle suppliers, including franchise and independent dealers, leasing companies and car rental companies. Using proprietary machine learning algorithms and data from a variety of internal and external sources, we evaluate tens of thousands of vehicles daily to determine their fit with customer demand, internal profitability targets and our existing inventory mix.
•Inspection and reconditioning. After acquiring a vehicle, we transport it to one of our IRCs where it undergoes a 150-point inspection and is reconditioned to meet "Carvana Certified" standards. This process is supported by a custom used vehicle inventory-management system, which tracks vehicles through each stage of the process and is seamlessly integrated with auto-part suppliers to facilitate the procurement of required parts.
•Photography and merchandising. We photograph vehicles using our patented photo booths located at each of our IRCs. This allows us to display interactive, 360-degree images of each vehicle on our website. We also annotate each vehicle image with a list of features and imperfections to assist our customers in their evaluation of each vehicle for purchase and integrate vehicle feature and option information from various vehicle-data providers. Our 360-degree photo and annotation processes are enabled by patented imaging technology. In 2018, we acquired Car360, Inc. ("Car360"), a provider of app-based photo-capture technology, to enhance our industry-leading technology by improving our 3D computer vision and augmented reality capabilities.
•Logistics and fulfillment. We transport vehicles purchased by our customers to their local market for home delivery or pick-up. In markets where we have launched operations, delivery to the customer is completed by a Carvana employee in a branded delivery truck. In a subset of these markets, customers have the option of picking up their car at one of our vending machines. These vending machines are multi-story glass towers where our customers deposit a token into a coin slot and an automated platform delivers the purchased vehicle to a garage bay where the customer is waiting. Our vending machines provide an attractive and unique customer pick-up experience, developing brand awareness while lowering our variable vehicle-delivery expense. Our logistics and fulfillment operations are supported by our proprietary vehicle transportation management system, which optimizes the scheduling of transport routes and delivery slots.
On May 3, 2017, we completed our IPO of 15.0 million shares of Class A common stock at a public offering price of $15.00 per share. We received $205.8 million in proceeds, net of underwriting discounts and commissions and offering expenses. On December 5, 2017, we sold 100,000 shares of Class A Convertible Preferred Stock for net proceeds of approximately $98.5 million. On April 30, 2018, we completed a follow-on public offering of 6.6 million shares of our Class A common stock and received proceeds from the offering of approximately $172.3 million, net of underwriting discounts and commissions and offering expenses. On May 24, 2019, we completed a public equity offering of 4.2 million shares of Class A common stock at a public offering price of $65.00 per share and received net proceeds from the offering of approximately $258.8 million, net of underwriting discounts and commissions and offering expenses. On June 20, 2019, the underwriters exercised their option to purchase 0.6 million additional shares resulting in $38.9 million in proceeds, net of offering expenses.
In September 2018 and May 2019, we issued Senior Notes (as defined in "Liquidity and Capital Resources") and received approximately $588.6 million in total proceeds, net of debt issuance costs and including a premium.
Unit Sales
Since launching to customers in Atlanta, Georgia in January 2013, we have experienced rapid growth in sales through our website www.carvana.com. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, the number of vehicles we sold to retail customers grew by 91.7% to 127,179 compared to 66,358 in the nine months ended September 30, 2018.
We view the number of vehicles we sell to retail customers as the most important measure of our growth, and we expect to continue to focus on building a scalable platform to increase our retail units sold. This focus on retail units sold is motivated by several factors:
•Retail units sold enable multiple revenue streams, including the sale of the vehicle itself, the sale of automotive finance receivables originated to finance the vehicle, the sale of VSCs, the sale of GAP waiver coverage and the sale of vehicles acquired from customers as trade-ins.
•Retail units sold are the primary driver of customer referrals and repeat sales. Each time we sell a vehicle to a new customer, that customer may refer future customers and can become a repeat buyer in the future.
•Retail units sold are an important driver of the average number of days between when we acquire the vehicle and when we sell it. Reducing average days to sale impacts gross profit on our vehicles because used cars depreciate over time.
•Retail units sold allow us to benefit from economies of scale due to our centralized online sales model. We believe our model provides meaningful operating leverage in acquisition, reconditioning, transport, customer service and delivery.
We plan to invest in technology and infrastructure to support growth in unit sales. This includes continued investment in our acquisition, reconditioning and logistics network, as well as continued investment in product development and engineering to deliver customers a best-in-class experience.
Markets
Our growth in retail units sold is driven by increased penetration in our existing markets and expansion into new markets. We define a market as a metropolitan area in which we have commenced local advertising and offer free home delivery to customers with a Carvana employee in a branded delivery truck. Opening a new market involves hiring a team of customer advocates, connecting the market to our existing logistics network and initiating local advertising. As a market scales, we may elect to build a vending machine in the market to further increase customer awareness and enhance our fulfillment operations.
Our expansion model has enabled us to increase our rate of market openings in each of the past six years. After opening Atlanta, Georgia in 2013, we opened two markets in 2014, six in 2015, 12 in 2016, 23 in 2017, 41 in 2018 and 61 in the first nine months of 2019, bringing our total number of markets to 146 as of September 30, 2019. Over this period, we have continually improved our market expansion playbook, which we believe provides us with the capability to efficiently execute our growth plan.
When we open a market, we commence advertising using a blend of brand and direct advertising channels. Our advertising spend in each market is approximately proportionate to each market’s population, subject to adjustments based on specific characteristics of the market, used vehicle market seasonality and special events such as vending machine openings. This historically has led to increased market penetration over time following the market opening. We also advertise on national television to increase brand awareness. With our growth into new markets, national television advertising has become more economically efficient compared to purchasing several local television advertising campaigns.
Revenue and Gross Profit
Our increased penetration in existing markets and expansion into new markets has led to growth in retail unit sales. We generate revenue on retail units sold from four primary sources: the sale of the vehicles, gains on the sales of loans originated to finance the vehicles, wholesale sales of vehicles we acquire from customers and sales of ancillary products such as VSCs and GAP waiver coverage.
Our largest source of revenue, used vehicle sales, totaled $931.0 million and $2.5 billion during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively, and $486.3 million and $1.3 billion during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively. As we continue to increase penetration in existing markets and expand to new ones, we expect used vehicle sales to increase as we increase retail units sold. We generate gross profit on used vehicle sales from the difference between the retail selling price of the vehicle and our cost of sales associated with acquiring the vehicle and preparing it for sale.
Wholesale sales includes sales of trade-ins and other vehicles acquired from customers and totaled $92.4 million and $188.5 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively, and $21.4 million and $48.2 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively. We expect wholesale sales to increase with retail units sold and as we expand our program of acquiring vehicles from customers and our suite of product offerings to customers who may wish to trade-in or to sell us a car independent of a retail sale. We generate gross profit on wholesale vehicle sales from the difference between the wholesale selling price of the vehicle and our cost of sales associated with acquiring the vehicle and preparing it for sale.
Other sales and revenues, which primarily includes gains on the sales of automotive finance receivables we originate, sales commission on VSCs and sales of GAP waiver coverage totaled $71.4 million and $177.2 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively, and $27.2 million and $64.2 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively. We expect other sales and revenues to increase with retail units sold. We also expect other sales and revenues to increase as we improve our ability to monetize loans we originate, including through securitization transactions, and sell and offer attractive financing solutions and ancillary products to our customers. Other sales and revenues are 100% gross margin products for which gross profit equals revenue.
During our growth phase, our highest priority will continue to be providing exceptional customer experiences, increasing our brand awareness and building an infrastructure to support growth in retail units sold. Secondarily, we plan to pursue several strategies designed to increase our total gross profit per unit. These strategies include the following:
•Reduce average days to sale. Our goal is to increase both our number of markets and our sales at a faster rate than we increase our inventory size, which we believe would decrease average days to sale due to a relative increase in demand versus supply. Reductions in average days to sale lead to fewer vehicle price reductions, and therefore higher average selling prices, all other factors being equal. Higher average selling prices in turn lead to higher gross profit per unit sold, all other factors being equal.
•Leverage existing IRC infrastructure. As we scale, we intend to more fully utilize the capacity in our seven existing IRCs, which collectively have capacity to inspect and recondition more than 350,000 vehicles per year at full utilization.
•Increase utilization on logistics network. As we scale, we intend to more fully utilize our in-house logistics network to transport cars to our IRCs after acquisition from wholesale auctions or customers.
•Increase conversion on existing products. We plan to continue to improve our website to highlight the benefits of our complementary product offerings, including financing, VSCs, GAP waiver coverage and trade-ins.
•Add new products and services. We plan to utilize our online sales platform to offer additional complementary products and services to our customers.
•Increase monetization of our finance receivables. We plan to expand our base of financial partners who purchase the finance receivables originated on our platform to reduce our effective cost of funds. We also plan to continue selling finance receivables in securitization transactions.
•Increase the purchase of vehicles from customers. We plan to grow the number of vehicles that we purchase from our customers either as trade-ins or independent of a retail sale. This in turn will both grow our wholesale business and provide additional vehicles for our retail business, which are more profitable compared to the same vehicle acquired at auction.
•Optimize purchasing and pricing. We are constantly improving the ways in which we predict customer demand, value vehicles sight unseen and optimize what we pay to acquire those vehicles. We also regularly test different pricing of our products, including vehicle sticker prices, trade-in and independent vehicle offers and ancillary product prices, and we believe we can improve by further optimizing prices over time.
Seasonality
Used vehicle sales exhibit seasonality with sales peaking late in the first calendar quarter and diminishing through the rest of the year, with the lowest relative level of vehicle sales expected to occur in the fourth calendar quarter. Due to our rapid growth, our overall sales patterns to date have not reflected the general seasonality of the used vehicle industry, but we expect this to change once our business and markets mature. Used vehicle prices also exhibit seasonality, 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, all other factors being equal. We expect to experience seasonal and other fluctuations in our quarterly operating results, which may not fully reflect the underlying performance of our business.
Investment in Growth
We have aggressively invested in the growth of our business and we expect this investment to continue. We anticipate that our operating expenses will increase substantially as we continue to open new markets, expand our logistics network and increase our advertising spending. There is no guarantee that we will be able to realize the return on our investments.
Relationship with Related Parties
For discussion about our relationship with related parties, refer to Note 6 — Related Party Transactions of our accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1, Financial Statements of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Key Operating Metrics
We regularly review a number of metrics, including the following key metrics, to evaluate our business, measure our progress and make strategic decisions. Our key operating metrics reflect the key drivers of our growth, including increasing brand awareness, opening new markets and enhancing the selection of vehicles we make available to our customers. Our key operating metrics also demonstrate our ability to translate these drivers into retail sales and to monetize these retail sales through a variety of product offerings.

Retail Units Sold
We define retail units sold as the number of vehicles sold to customers in a given period, net of returns under our seven-day return policy. We view retail units sold as a key measure of our growth for several reasons. First, retail units sold is the primary driver of our revenues and, indirectly, gross profit, since retail unit sales enable multiple complementary revenue streams, including financing, VSCs, GAP waiver coverage and trade-ins. Second, growth in retail units sold increases the base of available customers for referrals and repeat sales. Third, growth in retail units sold is an indicator of our ability to successfully scale our logistics, fulfillment and customer service operations.
Number of Markets
We define a market as a metropolitan area in which we have commenced local advertising and offer free home delivery to customers by a Carvana employee in a branded delivery truck. We view the number of markets we serve as a key driver of our growth. As we increase our number of markets, the population of consumers who have access to our fully integrated customer experience increases, which in turn helps to increase the number of vehicles we sell.
Average Monthly Unique Visitors
We define a monthly unique visitor as an individual who has visited our website within a calendar month, based on data provided by Google Analytics. We calculate average monthly unique visitors as the sum of monthly unique visitors in a given period, divided by the number of months in that period. We view average monthly unique visitors as a key indicator of the strength of our brand, the effectiveness of our advertising and merchandising campaigns and consumer awareness.
Inventory Units Available
We define inventory units available as the number of vehicles listed for sale on our website on the last day of a given reporting period. We view inventory units available as a key measure of our growth. Growth in inventory units available increases the selection of vehicles available to consumers in all of our markets simultaneously, which we believe will allow us to increase the number of vehicles we sell. Moreover, growth in inventory units available indicates our ability to scale our
vehicle purchasing, inspection and reconditioning operations. As part of our inventory strategy, over time we may choose not to expand inventory units available while continuing to grow sales, thereby improving other key operating metrics of the business.
Average Days to Sale
We define average days to sale as the average number of days between when we acquire the vehicle and when we deliver it to a customer for all retail units sold in a period. However, this metric does not include any retail units that remain unsold at period end. We view average days to sale as a useful metric due to its impact on used vehicle average selling price.
Total Gross Profit per Unit (incl. Gift)
We define total gross profit per unit as the aggregate gross profit in a given period, including Gift (as defined below), divided by retail units sold in that period including gross profit generated from the sale of the used vehicle, gains on the sales of loans originated to finance the vehicle, commissions on sales of VSCs, revenue from GAP waiver coverage and gross profit generated from wholesale sales of vehicles.
Total Gross Profit per Unit ex-Gift
In the second half of 2018, we announced a commitment by our Chief Executive Officer, Ernest Garcia III ("Mr. Garcia"), to contribute 165 shares of Class A common stock to us from his personal shareholdings for every one of our then-existing employees upon their satisfying certain employment tenure requirements. In connection with such contributions, we have made corresponding grants of 165 restricted stock units under our 2017 Omnibus Incentive Plan to each employee who has satisfied the requirements and intend to make grants to the remaining then-existing employees as they satisfy the requirements (the "100k Milestone Gift" or "Gift"). Under U.S. GAAP, the 100k Milestone Gift is treated as compensation expense, a portion of which relates to the production of our used vehicle inventory and is therefore capitalized to inventory and subsequently recognized within costs of sales when the related inventory is sold.
We define total gross profit per unit ex-Gift as gross profit before compensation expense related to the 100k Milestone Gift included in cost of sales, divided by retail units sold in that period. It has the same components noted above for total gross profit per unit, including Gift. We expect the 100k Milestone Gift from Mr. Garcia's one-time announcement to impact total gross profit per unit through the first half of 2020 and therefore believe total gross profit per unit ex-Gift is a key measure of our growth and long-term profitability over time.
For more information regarding this and other non-GAAP financial measures, refer to reconciliations of our non-GAAP measurements to their most directly comparable GAAP-based financial measurements included herein under "Non-GAAP Financial Measures".
Components of Results of Operations
Used Vehicle Sales
Used vehicle sales represent the aggregate sales of used vehicles to customers through our website. Revenue from used vehicles sales is recognized upon delivery to the customer or pick up of the vehicle by the customer, and is reported net of a reserve for expected returns. Factors affecting used vehicle sales revenue include the number of retail units sold and the average selling price of these vehicles. Changes in retail units sold are a much larger driver of changes in revenue than are changes in average selling price.
The number of used vehicles we sell depends on the volume of traffic to our website, our number of markets, our inventory selection, the effectiveness of our branding and marketing efforts, the quality of our customer's purchase experience, our volume of referrals and repeat customers, the competitiveness of our pricing, competition from other used car dealerships and general economic conditions. On a quarterly basis, the number of used vehicles we sell is also affected by seasonality, with demand for used vehicles reaching a seasonal high point late in the first quarter of each year, commensurate with the timing of tax refunds, and diminishing through the rest of the year, with the lowest relative level of used vehicle sales expected to occur in the fourth calendar quarter.
Our retail average selling price depends on the mix of vehicles we acquire, retail prices in our markets, our average days to sale and our pricing strategy. We may choose to shift our inventory mix to higher or lower cost vehicles, or to raise or lower our prices relative to market to take advantage of supply or demand imbalances, which could temporarily lead to average selling
prices increasing or decreasing. We also generally expect lower average days to sale to be associated with higher retail average selling prices due to decreased vehicle depreciation prior to sale, all other factors being equal.
Wholesale Vehicle Sales
Wholesale vehicle sales is equal to the aggregate proceeds we receive on vehicles sold to wholesalers. The vehicles we sell to wholesalers are primarily acquired from our customers who trade-in their existing vehicles when making a purchase from us and from customers who sell a vehicle to us without purchasing a retail vehicle. In addition, we occasionally sell certain used vehicles previously listed for sale to customers through our website to wholesalers. Factors affecting wholesale vehicle sales include the number of wholesale units sold and the average wholesale selling price of these vehicles. The average selling price of our wholesale units is primarily driven by the mix of vehicles we sell to wholesalers, as well as general supply and demand conditions in the applicable wholesale vehicle market.
Other Sales and Revenues
We generate other sales and revenues primarily through the sales of loans we originate and sell in securitization transactions or to financing partners, commissions we receive on VSCs and sales of GAP waiver coverage. In 2016, we entered into a master dealer agreement with DriveTime, pursuant to which we receive a commission for selling VSCs that DriveTime administers. The commission revenues we recognize on VSCs depends on the number of retail units we sell, the conversion rate of VSCs on these sales, commission rates we receive, VSC early cancellation frequency and product features. The GAP waiver coverage revenue we recognize depends on the number of retail units we sell, the number of customers that choose to finance their purchases with us, the frequency of GAP waiver coverage early cancellation and the conversion rate of GAP waiver coverage on those sales.
We generally seek to sell the loans we originate under committed forward-flow arrangements with financing partners who acquire them at premium prices without recourse to us for their post-sale performance. Factors affecting revenue from these sales include the number of loans we originate, the average principal balance of the loans, the credit quality of the portfolio and the price at which we are able to sell them to financing partners. Beginning in 2019, we also sponsor and establish securitization trusts to purchase finance receivables from us. The securitization trusts issue asset-backed securities, some of which are collateralized by the finance receivables that we sell to the securitization trusts.
The number of loans we originate is driven by the number of used vehicles sold and the percentage of our sales for which we provide financing, which is influenced by the financing terms we offer our customers relative to alternatives available to the customer. The average principal balance is driven primarily by the mix of vehicles we sell, since higher average selling prices typically mean higher average balances. The price at which we sell the loan is driven by the terms of our forward-flow arrangements and securitization transactions, applicable interest rates and whether or not the loan includes GAP waiver coverage.
Cost of Sales
Cost of sales includes the cost to acquire, recondition and transport vehicles associated with preparing them for resale. Vehicle acquisition costs are driven by the mix of vehicles we acquire, the source of those vehicles and supply-and-demand dynamics in the wholesale vehicle market. Reconditioning costs consist of direct costs, including parts, labor and third-party repair expenses directly attributable to specific vehicles, as well as indirect costs, such as IRC overhead. Transportation costs consist of costs incurred to transport the vehicles from the point of acquisition to the IRC. Beginning in the second half of 2018, the labor portion of reconditioning costs and transportation costs includes the expense related to the 100k Milestone Gift, as described above. Cost of sales also includes any necessary adjustments to reflect vehicle inventory at the lower of cost or net realizable value.
Used Vehicle Gross Profit
Used vehicle gross profit is the vehicle sales price minus our costs of sales associated with vehicles that we list and sell on our website. Used vehicle gross profit per unit is our aggregate used vehicle gross profit in any measurement period divided by the number of retail units sold in that period. Beginning in the second half of 2018, cost of sales includes the expense related to the 100k Milestone Gift, as described above.
Wholesale Vehicle Gross Profit
Wholesale vehicle gross profit is the vehicle sales price minus our cost of sales associated with vehicles we sell to wholesalers. Factors affecting wholesale gross profit include the number of wholesale units sold, the average wholesale selling price of these vehicles, the acquisition price we offer to the customer and, in the case of vehicles formerly listed on our website, the total costs described above associated with that vehicle. Beginning in the second half of 2018, cost of sales includes the expense related to the 100k Milestone Gift, as described above.
Other Gross Profit
Other sales and revenues consist of 100% gross margin products for which gross profit equals revenue. Therefore, changes in gross profit and the associated drivers are identical to changes in revenues from these products and the associated drivers.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses include expenses associated with advertising and providing customer service to customers, operating our vending machines and hubs, operating our logistics and fulfillment network and other corporate overhead expenses, including expenses associated with information technology, product development, engineering, legal, accounting, finance and business development. We anticipate that these expenses will increase as we grow. SG&A expenses exclude the costs of inspecting and reconditioning vehicles and transporting vehicles from the point of acquisition to the IRC, which are included in cost of sales, and payroll costs for our employees related to the development of software products for internal use, which are capitalized to software and depreciated over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. Beginning in the second half of 2018, SG&A includes the portion of compensation expense related to the 100k Milestone Gift, as described above.
Interest Expense
Interest expense includes interest incurred on our Senior Notes, including amounts due to Verde, our Floor Plan Facility, and our Finance Receivable Facilities (all defined in "Liquidity and Capital Resources"), as well as our notes payable, finance leases and long-term debt, which are used to fund general working capital, our inventory, our transportation fleet and certain of our property and equipment. Interest expense excludes the interest incurred during various construction projects to build, upgrade or remodel certain facilities, which is capitalized to property and equipment and depreciated over the estimated useful lives of the related assets.

Used Vehicle Sales
Three months ended September 30, 2019 Versus 2018. Used vehicle sales increased by $444.7 million to $931.0 million during the three months ended September 30, 2019 compared to $486.3 million during the three months ended September 30, 2018. The increase in revenue was primarily due to an increase in the number of used vehicles sold to 46,413 from 25,324 during the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The increase in units sold was driven in part by growth in existing markets due to expanded inventory selection, enhanced marketing efforts, increased brand awareness and customer referrals. The increase in unit sales was also driven by growth to 146 markets as of September 30, 2019 from 78 markets as of September 30, 2018. We anticipate that unit sales will continue to grow as we increase penetration in existing markets and launch new markets. In addition, the average selling price of our retail units sold increased to $20,059 during the three months ended September 30, 2019 from $19,202 during the three months ended September 30, 2018.
Nine months ended September 30, 2019 Versus 2018. Used vehicle sales increased by $1.2 billion to $2.5 billion during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to $1.3 billion during the nine months ended September 30, 2018. The increase in revenue was primarily due to an increase in the number of used vehicles sold to 127,179 from 66,358 during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The increase in units sold was driven in part by growth in existing markets due to expanded inventory selection, enhanced marketing efforts, increased brand awareness and customer referrals. The increase in unit sales was also driven by growth to 146 markets as of September 30, 2019 from 78 markets as of September 30, 2018. We anticipate that unit sales will continue to grow as we increase penetration in existing markets and launch new markets. In addition, the average selling price of our retail units sold increased to $19,426 during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 from $18,961 during the nine months ended September 30, 2018.
Wholesale Vehicle Sales
Three months ended September 30, 2019 Versus 2018. Wholesale vehicle sales increased by $71.0 million to $92.4 million during the three months ended September 30, 2019, compared to $21.4 million during the three months ended September 30, 2018. We primarily obtain our wholesale inventory by acquiring vehicles from customers. As our retail unit sales have increased, so have the trade-ins we receive. Moreover, during the three months ended September 30, 2019, we also acquired more vehicles from customers who did not purchase a retail unit from us. Therefore, we have had more units available for sale to wholesalers over time and our revenues attributed to wholesale vehicle sales have increased. In addition, the average selling price of our wholesale units sold increased to $7,901 during the three months ended September 30, 2019 from $4,864 during the three months ended September 30, 2018.
Nine months ended September 30, 2019 Versus 2018. Wholesale vehicle sales increased by $140.3 million to $188.5 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2019, compared to $48.2 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2018. We primarily obtain our wholesale inventory by acquiring vehicles from customers. As our retail unit sales have increased, so have the trade-ins we receive. Moreover, during the nine months ended September 30, 2019, we also acquired more vehicles from customers who did not purchase a retail unit from us. Therefore, we have had more units available for sale to wholesalers over time and our revenues attributed to wholesale vehicle sales have increased. In addition, the average selling price of our wholesale units sold increased to $6,465 during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 from $4,631 during the nine months ended September 30, 2018.
Other Sales and Revenues
Three months ended September 30, 2019 Versus 2018. Other sales and revenues primarily consist of gains on the sales of loans we originate, commissions we receive on sales of VSCs and GAP waiver coverage. Other sales and revenues increased by $44.2 million to $71.4 million during the three months ended September 30, 2019, compared to $27.2 million during the three months ended September 30, 2018. This increase was primarily driven by the increase in retail units sold which led to an increase in loans originated and sold, as well as an increase in VSC sales and GAP waiver coverage sales. The increase also includes an increase in interest income during the three months ended September 30, 2019 from interest earned on finance receivables we held on balance sheet prior to our securitization transaction.
Nine months ended September 30, 2019 Versus 2018. Other sales and revenues primarily consist of gains on the sales of loans we originate, commissions we receive on sales of VSCs and sales of GAP waiver coverage. Other sales and revenues increased by $113.0 million to $177.2 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2019, compared to $64.2 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2018. The increase is primarily related to increased gains on loan sales due to selling more loans in the nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to September 30, 2018, partially due to the securitization transactions. The remaining increase is primarily due to increased revenue from commissions received on sales of
vehicle service contracts, increased GAP waiver revenues driven by the increase in retail unit sales and timing of loan sales, and an increase in interest income primarily related to the interest earned on the finance receivables held on our balance sheet prior to the completion of securitization transactions.
Used Vehicle Gross Profit
Three months ended September 30, 2019 Versus 2018. Used vehicle gross profit, including Gift, increased by $32.0 million to $60.6 million during the three months ended September 30, 2019, compared to $28.6 million during the three months ended September 30, 2018. Used vehicle gross profit ex-Gift, which excludes the impact of the 100k Milestone Gift on cost of sales, increased by $32.4 million to $61.9 million during the three months ended September 30, 2019, compared to $29.5 million during the three months ended September 30, 2018. This increase was driven primarily by an increase in retail units sold, as well as an increase in used vehicle gross profit per unit, including Gift, and used vehicle gross profit per unit ex-Gift to $1,305 and $1,335, respectively, for the three months ended September 30, 2019 compared to $1,127 and $1,166 for the three months ended September 30, 2018, respectively. The per unit increase was primarily driven by acquiring more vehicles from customers and incremental shipping revenue.
Nine months ended September 30, 2019 Versus 2018. Used vehicle gross profit, including Gift, increased by $99.2 million to $171.1 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2019, compared to $71.8 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2018. Used vehicle gross profit ex-Gift, which excludes the impact of the 100k Milestone Gift on cost of sales, increased by $102.2 million to $175.0 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2019, compared to $72.8 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2018. This increase was driven primarily by an increase in retail units sold, as well as an increase in used vehicle gross profit per unit, including Gift, and used vehicle gross profit per unit ex-Gift to $1,345 and $1,376, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to $1,083 and $1,097 for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively. The per unit increase was primarily driven by acquiring more vehicles from customers, incremental shipping revenue, and a decrease in average days to sale to 63 days in the nine months ended September 30, 2019 from 66 days in the nine months ended September 30, 2018.
Wholesale Vehicle Gross Profit
Three months ended September 30, 2019 Versus 2018. Wholesale vehicle gross profit, including Gift and excluding Gift, increased by $4.0 million and $4.2 million to $5.6 million and $5.7 million, respectively, during the three months ended September 30, 2019, compared to $1.5 million and $1.6 million during the three months ended September 30, 2018, respectively. This increase was driven primarily by an increase in wholesale units sold to 11,698 from 4,408 and an increase in wholesale vehicle gross profit per wholesale unit, including Gift, and wholesale vehicle gross profit per wholesale unit ex-Gift to $476 and $488, respectively, in the three months ended September 30, 2019 compared to $350 and $355 in the three months ended September 30, 2018, respectively. The number of units sold and per-unit increase was primarily due to the expansion of our program of acquiring vehicles from customers.
Nine months ended September 30, 2019 Versus 2018. Wholesale vehicle gross profit, including Gift and excluding Gift, increased by $11.0 million and $11.3 million to $15.6 million and $15.9 million, respectively, during the nine months ended September 30, 2019, compared to $4.6 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2018. This increase was driven primarily by an increase in wholesale units sold to 29,155 from 10,408 and an increase in wholesale vehicle gross profit per wholesale unit, including Gift, and wholesale vehicle gross profit per wholesale unit ex-Gift to $535 and $544, respectively, from $437 and $439 in the nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively. The number of units sold and per-unit increase was primarily due to the expansion of our program of acquiring vehicles from customers.
Other Gross Profit
Other sales and revenues consist of 100% gross margin products for which gross profit equals revenue. Therefore, changes in other gross profit and the associated drivers are identical to changes in other sales and revenues and the associated drivers.

(1) Compensation and benefits includes all payroll and related costs, including benefits, payroll taxes and equity-based compensation, except those related to preparing vehicles for sale, which are included in cost of sales, those related to the development of software products for internal use, which are capitalized to software and depreciated over the estimated useful lives of the related assets, and those related to the 100k Milestone Gift.
(2) Market occupancy costs includes occupancy costs of our vending machine and hubs. It excludes occupancy costs related to reconditioning vehicles which are included in cost of sales and the portion related to corporate occupancy which are included in other costs.
(3) Logistics includes fuel, maintenance and depreciation related to operating our own transportation fleet and third party transportation fees, except the portion related to inbound transportation, which is included in cost of sales.
(4) Other costs include all other selling, general and administrative expenses such as IT expenses, corporate occupancy, professional services and insurance, limited warranty and title and registration.
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $92.2 million and $250.4 million to $208.0 million and $545.1 million and during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively, compared to $115.8 million and $294.6 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively. The increase was partially due to an increase in compensation and benefits by $26.2 million and $75.0 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively, compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, which was primarily driven by expansion of our logistics and delivery network, as well as growth in our engineering, technology, and corporate teams.
In addition, during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, additional tranches of the 100k Milestone Gift related to Mr. Garcia's contribution occurred resulting in $2.9 million and $6.5 million, respectively, of compensation expense within selling, general and administrative expense, which is presented separately above, compared to $6.8 million in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018.
The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses was also due to an increase in advertising expense of $27.8 million and $65.9 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively, compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 primarily due to an increase in number of markets and the introduction of advertising related to buying cars from customers. Market occupancy, logistics and other expenses also increased during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to the prior period primarily due our continued growth. These expenses will increase in absolute terms as we grow in existing markets and expand to additional markets.
Interest Expense
Interest expense increased by $15.3 million and $42.6 million to $21.0 million and $56.0 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively, compared to $5.6 million and $13.4 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively. The increase is primarily due to the outstanding balance of the Senior Notes we issued in September 2018 and May 2019 which incurred $13.2 million and $31.0 million of interest expense during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively, compared to $0.9 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018. The remaining increase is due to increased interest expense incurred on our short-term revolving facilities, capital and finance leases and long-term debt entered into during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, which are prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP, we also present the following non-GAAP measures: gross profit ex-Gift, gross profit per unit ex-Gift, EBITDA ex-Gift, EBITDA margin ex-Gift, adjusted net loss and adjusted net loss per share. We believe the presentation of both GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures provides investors with increased transparency into financial measures used by our management team, and it also improves investors’ understanding of our underlying operating performance and their ability to analyze our ongoing operating trends. All historic non-GAAP financial measures have been reconciled with the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.
Gross Profit ex-Gift and Gross Profit per Unit ex-Gift
Gross Profit ex-Gift and Gross Profit per Unit ex-Gift are non-GAAP supplemental measures of operating performance that do not represent and should not be considered an alternative to gross profit, as determined by GAAP. Gross Profit ex-Gift is defined as gross profit before compensation expense related to the 100k Milestone Gift included in cost of sales. Gross Profit per Unit ex-Gift is Gross Profit ex-Gift divided by units sold. We use Gross Profit ex-Gift to measure the operating performance of our business and Gross Profit per Unit ex-Gift to measure our operating performance relative to our units sold. We believe that Gross Profit ex-Gift and Gross Profit per Unit ex-Gift are useful measures to us and to our investors because they exclude the expense associated with the 100k Milestone Gift recognized in cost of sales. We expect the 100k Milestone Gift to be a one-time award program for which we will recognize varying amounts of expense beginning in the second half of 2018 and continuing through the first half of 2020, and therefore we believe the related expense does not reflect our core operations, is not included in our past operations, and may not be indicative of our future operations. Additionally, the shares issued to settle the 100k Milestone Gift are offset by share contributions from Mr. Garcia to the Company, therefore we expect the impact on shares outstanding to be nearly zero. We believe that excluding it enables us to more effectively evaluate our performance period-over-period and relative to our competitors.
A reconciliation the Gross Profit ex-Gift amounts to each corresponding gross profit amount, which are the most directly comparable GAAP measures and include expenses attributable to the 100k Milestone Gift, and calculations of each Gross Profit per Unit ex-Gift amount are as follows (dollars in thousands, except per unit amounts):

EBITDA ex-Gift and EBITDA Margin ex-Gift
EBITDA ex-Gift and EBITDA Margin ex-Gift are non-GAAP supplemental measures of operating performance that do not represent and should not be considered an alternative to net loss or cash flow from operations, as determined by GAAP. EBITDA ex-Gift is defined as net loss before interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization expense, and the compensation expense related to the 100k Milestone Gift. EBITDA Margin ex-Gift is EBITDA ex-Gift as a percentage of total revenues. We use EBITDA ex-Gift to measure the operating performance of our business and EBITDA Margin ex-Gift to measure our operating performance relative to our total revenues. We believe that EBITDA ex-Gift and EBITDA Margin ex-Gift are useful measures to us and to our investors because they exclude certain financial and capital structure items and the expense associated with the 100k Milestone Gift that we do not believe directly reflect our core operations and may not be indicative of our recurring operations, in part because they may vary widely across time and within our industry independent of the performance of our core operations. In particular, we expect the 100k Milestone Gift to be a one-time award program for which we will recognize varying amounts of expense beginning in the second half of 2018 and continuing through the first half of 2020, and therefore we believe the related expense does not reflect our core operations, is not included in our past operations, and may not be indicative of our future operations. Additionally, the shares issued to settle the 100k Milestone Gift are offset by share contributions from Mr. Garcia to the Company, therefore we expect the impact on shares outstanding to be nearly zero. We believe that excluding these items enables us to more effectively evaluate our performance period-over-period and relative to our competitors. EBITDA ex-Gift and EBITDA Margin ex-Gift may not be comparable to similarly titled measures provided by other companies due to potential differences in methods of calculations. A reconciliation of EBITDA ex-Gift to net loss which includes 100k Milestone Gift expense and is the most directly comparable GAAP measure, and calculation of EBITDA Margin ex-Gift is as follows (dollars in thousands):

Adjusted Net Loss and Adjusted Net Loss per Share
Adjusted net loss represents net loss attributable to Carvana Co. assuming the full exchange of all outstanding LLC Units for shares of Class A common stock and excluding the compensation expense associated with the 100k Milestone Gift. Adjusted net loss per share is calculated by dividing adjusted net loss by the weighted-average shares of Class A common stock outstanding assuming the full exchange of all outstanding LLC Units.
Adjusted net loss and adjusted net loss per share are supplemental measures of operating performance that do not represent and should not be considered alternatives to net loss and net loss per share, as determined under GAAP. We believe that by assuming the full exchange of all outstanding LLC Units and excluding the expense associated with the 100k Milestone Gift for the reasons described above, adjusted net loss and adjusted net loss per share supplement GAAP measures and enable us and our investors to more effectively evaluate our performance period-over-period and relative to our competitors that have different organizational and tax structures because the assumption eliminates the effect of any changes in net income attributable to Carvana Co. driven by increases in our ownership of Carvana Group, LLC as well as the expense associated with the 100k Milestone Gift, which are unrelated to our operating performance.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
General
Our principal sources of liquidity are cash generated from our operations and from financing activities. Cash generated from operating activities primarily includes cash derived from the sale of used retail vehicles, the sale of wholesale vehicles and proceeds from the sale of loans originated in connection with the sale of used vehicles. Cash generated from our financing activities primarily includes net proceeds from the issuance of equity instruments, net proceeds from our short-term revolving facilities, and net proceeds from issuance of long-term debt.
We have incurred losses each year from inception through September 30, 2019, and expect to incur additional losses in the future. Our ability to service our debt and fund working capital, capital expenditures and business development efforts will depend on our ability to generate cash from operating and financing activities, which is subject to our future operating performance, as well as to general economic, financial, competitive, legislative, regulatory and other conditions, some of which may be beyond our control. On November 1, 2019, we amended the Floor Plan Facility to increase the capacity to $950.0 million to finance more vehicle inventory purchases. We have also funded some of our capital expenditures through long-term financing with lenders and other investors. We have historically entered into various agreements under which we sell the finance receivables we originate to financing partners, or as part of a securitization transaction. We believe that our existing sources of liquidity including future debt and equity financing will be sufficient to fund our operations, including lease obligations, debt service requirements, capital expenditures and working capital obligations for at least the next 12 months. However, our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including our rate of revenue growth, our expansion into new markets, construction of vending machines and IRCs and the timing and extent of our spending to support our technology and software development efforts. To the extent that existing cash and cash from operations are insufficient to fund our future activities, we may need to raise additional funds through public or private equity or debt financing. Additional funds may not be available on terms favorable to us or at all.
Floor Plan Facility
We have a floor plan facility with a lender to finance our used vehicle inventory, which is secured by substantially all of our assets, other than our interests in real property (the "Floor Plan Facility"). The facility has a maturity date of October 31, 2020 and requires monthly interest payments on borrowings under the Floor Plan Facility. We most recently amended the Floor Plan Facility in November 2019 to, among other things, increase the available capacity to $950.0 million from $650.0 million, adding flexibility to acquire more vehicles from customers. The annual interest rate was reduced to one-month LIBOR plus 3.15% if the average outstanding balance on the Floor Plan Facility in the previous calendar month is greater than $500.0 million and otherwise remains unchanged from one-month LIBOR plus 3.40%. The amendment also requires that at least 7.5% of the total principal amount owed to the lender is held as restricted cash, a change from 5%.
Repayment in an amount equal to the amount of the advance or loan must be made within five business days of selling or otherwise disposing of the underlying vehicle inventory, unless customers financed the purchase by originating an automotive finance receivable. For used vehicle sales involving financing originated by us and sold under either the MPSA or the Finance Receivable Facilities (as defined below), the lender has extended repayment to the earlier of fifteen business days after the sale of the used vehicle or one business day following the sale of the related finance receivable. With respect to such used vehicle sales involving financing that are not sold under either the MPSA or the Finance Receivables Facilities, the lender agreed to extend repayment of the advance or the loan for such vehicles to the earlier of fifteen business days after the sale of the vehicle or two business days following the funding of the related finance receivable. Outstanding balances related to vehicles held in inventory for more than 180 days require monthly principal payments equal to 10% of the original principal amount of that vehicle until the remaining outstanding balance is the lesser of (i) 50% of the original principal amount or (ii) 50% of the wholesale value. Prepayments may be made without incurring a premium or penalty. Additionally, we are permitted to make prepayments to the lender to be held as principal payments under the Floor Plan Facility and subsequently reborrow such amounts.
As of September 30, 2019, the interest rate on the Floor Plan Facility was approximately 5.42%, we had an outstanding balance under this facility of approximately $243.0 million, unused capacity of approximately $407.0 million, and held approximately $12.2 million in restricted cash related to this facility.
Finance Receivable Facilities
In April 2019, we entered in a Loan and Security Agreement with Ally pursuant to which they agreed to provide a $300.0 million revolving credit facility (the "DART I Credit Facility") to fund certain automotive finance receivables originated by us. We can draw upon the DART I Credit Facility until April 17, 2020, and it has an annual interest rate of one-month LIBOR plus a spread ranging from 1.00% to 1.80%.
In May 2019, we entered into the Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement (the "A&R Loan and Security Agreement") in connection with the $350.0 million SART 2017-1 Credit Facility to fund certain automotive finance receivables originated by us. We can draw upon the SART 2017-1 Credit Facility until April 17, 2020, and we have an annual interest rate of one-month LIBOR plus 1.95%.
The DART I Credit Facility and the SART 2017-1 Credit Facility (collectively, the "Finance Receivable Facilities") each require that at least 2% of the outstanding pledged finance receivables principal balances, plus any undistributed amounts collected on the pledged finance receivables amount, is held as restricted cash.
Interest payments on the Finance Receivable Facilities are payable monthly on each draw date. Principal repayments will occur on the fifteenth day of each calendar month in an amount equal to the undistributed receivables collected. The lender will receive repayment in accordance with its respective commitment. Prepayment of the entire aggregate outstanding principal and any accrued unpaid interest through the next draw date is permitted twice per calendar quarter.
As of September 30, 2019, the DART I Credit Facility had an interest rate ranging between approximately 3.02% and 3.82%, and the SART 2017-1 Credit Facility had an interest rate of approximately 3.97%. We had an outstanding balance under the Finance Receivable Facilities of approximately $19.2 million, unused capacity of approximately $630.8 million, and held approximately $1.3 million in restricted cash related to these facilities.
We had the following liquidity resources available as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 (in thousands):

(1) Based on pledging all eligible vehicles and finance receivables under the available capacity in the Floor Plan Facility and Finance Receivable Facilities.
(2) Under the Master Sale-Leaseback Agreement with VMRE, the total sales price of properties the Company has sold and is leasing back at any point in time is limited to $75.0 million. We are also party to other sale-leaseback arrangements.
(3) We had $177.7 million and $132.4 million of total unpledged gross real estate assets as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.
In addition, we had $10.6 million and $0.0 million of total unpledged beneficial interests in securitizations as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. On November 1, 2019, we amended our Floor Plan Facility to, among other things, increase the available capacity. Based on eligible inventory as of September 30, 2019, this would have added $73.6 million in available committed liquidity resources as of that date.
Senior Unsecured Notes
On September 21, 2018, we issued an aggregate of $350.0 million in senior unsecured notes due 2023 (the "Existing Notes") under an indenture entered into by and among us, each of the guarantors party thereto and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee (the “Indenture”). On May 24, 2019, we issued $250.0 million in aggregate principal amount of additional notes (the "New Notes") under the Indenture, at a 100.5% premium. The Existing Notes and New Notes (together the "Senior Notes") are treated as a single class for all purposes and have the same terms. The Senior Notes accrue interest at a rate of 8.875% per annum, which is payable semi-annually in arrears on April 1 and October 1 of each year beginning April 1, 2019. The Senior Notes mature on October 1, 2023, unless earlier repurchased or redeemed, and are guaranteed by our existing domestic restricted subsidiaries (other than our subsidiaries formed solely for the purpose of facilitating our sales of finance receivables, if any). We may redeem some or all of the Senior Notes on or after October 1, 2020 at redemption prices set forth in the Indenture, plus any accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date. Prior to October 1, 2020, we may redeem up to 35.0% of the aggregate principal amount of the Senior Notes at a redemption price equal to 108.875%, together with accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the date of redemption, with the net cash proceeds of certain equity offerings. In addition, we may, at our option, redeem some or all of the Senior Notes prior to October 1, 2020, by paying a make-whole premium plus any accrued and unpaid interest, to, but not including, the redemption date. If we experience certain change of control events, we must make an offer to purchase all of the Senior Notes at 101.0% of the principal amount thereof, plus any accrued and unpaid interest, to the repurchase date.
The Indenture governing the Senior Notes contains restrictive covenants that limit our ability to, among other things, incur additional debt or issue preferred stock, create liens, create restrictions on our ability to make intercompany payments, pay dividends and make other distributions in respect of our capital stock, redeem or repurchase our capital stock or prepay subordinated indebtedness, make certain investments or certain other restricted payments, guarantee indebtedness, designate unrestricted subsidiaries, sell certain kinds of assets, enter into certain types of transactions with affiliates, and effect mergers or consolidations. Certain of these covenants will be suspended if the Senior Notes are assigned an investment grade rating from any two of Moody’s Investors Service, Inc., Standard & Poor’s Rating Services, and Fitch Ratings, Inc., and there is no continuing default. As of September 30, 2019 we were in compliance with all covenants. See Item 1A - Risk Factors.
The outstanding principal of the Senior Notes, net of debt issuance costs and including the premium, was approximately $590.5 million as of September 30, 2019, of which $15.0 million was held by Verde Investments, Inc, an affiliate of DriveTime ("Verde").
Notes Payable
We have entered into promissory note and disbursement agreements to finance certain equipment for our transportation fleet and building improvements. The assets financed with the proceeds from these notes serve as the collateral for each note
and certain security agreements related to these assets have cross collateralization and cross default provisions with respect to one another. Each note has a fixed annual interest rate, a two to five-year term and requires monthly payments. As of September 30, 2019, the outstanding principal of these notes had a weighted-average interest rate of 6.2% and totaled approximately $29.5 million, of which approximately $10.9 million is due within the next twelve months.
Other Real Estate Financing Transactions
We finance certain purchases and construction of our property and equipment through various sale and leaseback transactions. As of September 30, 2019, none of these transactions have qualified for sale accounting due to meeting the criteria for finance leases, or forms of continuing involvement, such as repurchase options or renewal periods that extend the lease for substantially all of the asset's remaining useful life, and are therefore accounted for as financing transactions. These arrangements require monthly payments and have initial terms that expire in fifteen to twenty years. Some of the agreements are subject to renewal options of up to twenty years and base rent increases throughout the term. As of September 30, 2019, the outstanding liability associated with these sale and leaseback arrangements, net of unamortized debt issuance costs, is approximately $91.2 million.
In November 2017, we entered into a master sale-leaseback agreement (the "Master Sale-Leaseback Agreement" or "MSLA"), which was amended in November 2018, pursuant to which we may sell and lease back certain of our owned or leased properties and construction improvements. Under the MSLA, at any time we may elect to, and beginning in November 2020 or until a property owner of a leased site consents to the sale-leaseback, the purchaser has the right to, demand that we repurchase one or more of the properties sold and leased back pursuant to the MSLA for an amount equal to the repurchase price. Repurchase prices are defined in each of the applicable leases and are generally the original purchase prices plus any accrued and unpaid rent. Under the MSLA, the total sales price of properties we have sold and are leasing back at any point in time is limited to $75.0 million. As of September 30, 2019, we may sell and lease back $75.0 million of our property and equipment under the MSLA.
Beginning in August 2018, we have finance lease obligations to finance certain equipment for our transportation fleet. The leases have a weighted average fixed annual interest rate of 5.5%, a five-year term and require monthly payments. As of September 30, 2019, the outstanding amount of the leases is approximately $42.6 million, of which $9.4 million is due within the next twelve months.
Financing of Beneficial Interests in Securitizations
In June 2019, we entered into a secured borrowing facility through which we finance certain retained beneficial interests in securitizations whereby we sell such interests and agree to repurchase them for their fair value at a stated time of repurchase. We have retained certain beneficial interests in securitizations pursuant to our obligations as a sponsor under Risk Retention Rules.
As of September 30, 2019, we have pledged approximately $64.9 million of our beneficial interests in securitizations as collateral under the repurchase agreement with expected repurchases ranging from January 2026 to July 2026. Pledged collateral levels are monitored daily and are generally maintained at an agreed-upon percentage of the fair value of the amounts borrowed during the life of the transaction. In the event of a decline in the fair value of the pledged collateral, the repurchase price of the pledged collateral will be increased by the amount of the decline.
The outstanding balance of this facility, net of debt issuance costs, was approximately $63.1 million as of September 30, 2019.
Finance Receivables
Our customers can obtain vehicle financing directly on our website. Historically, we have entered into various arrangements to sell the finance receivables we originate. In December 2016, we entered into a master purchase and sale agreement (the "Master Purchase and Sale Agreement" or "MPSA") and a master transfer agreement (the "2016 Master Transfer Agreement") pursuant to which we sell finance receivables meeting certain underwriting criteria to certain financing partners, including Ally Bank and Ally Financial (the "Ally Parties"). Through November 2017 under the MPSA and the 2016 Master Transfer Agreement, we could sell up to an aggregate of $375.0 million, and $292.2 million, respectively, in principal balances of finance receivables subject to adjustment as described in the respective agreements.
On November 3, 2017, we amended our MPSA to increase the aggregate amount of principal balances of finance receivables we can sell from $375.0 million to $1.5 billion. On November 2, 2018, we amended the MPSA to, among other things and subject to the terms of the agreement, commit the purchaser to purchase up to a maximum of $1.25 billion of principal balances of finance receivables after the amendment date. Subsequently, on April 19, 2019, we amended the MPSA to, among other things and subject to the terms of the agreement, commit the purchaser to purchase up to a maximum of $1.0 billion of principal balances of finance receivables after the amendment date.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, we sold approximately $324.6 million and $521.7 million, respectively, in principal balances of finance receivables under the MPSA and had approximately $752.6 million of unused capacity as of September 30, 2019.
On November 3, 2017, we terminated the remaining capacity under the 2016 Master Transfer Agreement and replaced this facility by entering into a new master transfer agreement (the "2017 Master Transfer Agreement") with a purchaser trust under which the trust committed to purchase up to an aggregate of approximately $357.1 million in principal balances of finance receivables. On November 2, 2018, we amended the 2017 Master Transfer Agreement to, among other things and subject to the terms of the agreement, increase and extend the trust's commitment to purchase finance receivables from us.
On May 7, 2019, we purchased the certificate of the trust for $34.0 million, net of cash acquired. At the time of acquisition the trust assets included $139.7 million of finance receivables that we had previously sold to the trust under the 2017 Master Transfer Agreement, and its liabilities included $105.7 million in associated debt and other liabilities. In connection with the certificate purchase, we and Ally Bank entered into an Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement (the "A&R Loan and Security Agreement") pursuant to which Ally Bank agreed to provide a $350.0 million revolving credit facility (the "SART 2017-1 Credit Facility") to fund certain automotive finance receivables originated by us.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, prior to the acquisition of the certificate in the trust, we sold approximately $139.3 million in principal balances of finance receivables under the 2017 Master Transfer Agreement. During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, we sold approximately $306.5 million in principal balances of finance receivables under the 2017 Master Transfer Agreement.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, prior to the certificate purchase, we also purchased finance receivables that we previously sold to the purchaser trust under the 2017 Master Transfer Agreement for a total price of approximately $127.7 million and immediately resold such finance receivables into a securitization transaction. This transaction was entered into in connection with the securitization transaction and was entered into independently from the terms of the 2017 Master Transfer Agreement.
The total gain related to finance receivables sold to financing partners under the MPSA, the 2017 Master Transfer Agreement and to investors in securitization transactions was approximately $39.8 million and $13.3 million during the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and $99.4 million and $35.7 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.
Liquidity Upon Debt and Equity Offerings
On April 30, 2018, we completed a follow-on public offering of 6.6 million shares of our Class A common stock and received proceeds from the offering of approximately $172.3 million, net of underwriting discounts and commissions and offering expenses. On May 24, 2019, we completed a public equity offering of 4.2 million shares of our Class A common stock and received net proceeds from the offering of approximately $258.8 million, net of underwriting discounts and commissions and offering expenses. As part of the offering, we granted the underwriters a 30-day option to purchase all or part of
approximately 0.6 million additional shares of Class A common stock. On June 20, 2019, the underwriters exercised their option in full for an additional $38.9 million in proceeds after offering expenses.
In September 2018, we issued our Senior Notes and received approximately $342.5 million in proceeds, net of debt issuance costs. In May 2019, we issued additional Senior Notes and received approximately $246.2 million, net of debt issuance costs and including premium.

Operating Activities
For the nine months ended September 30, 2019, net cash used in operating activities was $434.7 million, an increase of $170.8 million compared to net cash used in operating activities of $263.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. Significant changes impacting net cash used in operating activities comparing the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 are as follows:
•Our net loss was $238.9 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2019, an increase of $70.6 million from a net loss of $168.3 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 primarily due to an increase in selling, general and administrative expenses associated with expansion to additional markets and expanding our corporate infrastructure.
•Net increase in vehicle inventory was $213.8 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to a net increase in vehicle inventory of $110.3 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2018, resulting in a $103.5 million increase in use of cash related to our efforts to increase and optimize our inventory levels.
Investing Activities
Cash used in investing activities was $148.8 million and $113.9 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, an increase of $34.9 million. The increase primarily relates to the increase in purchases of property and equipment of $44.2 million, reflecting the expansion of our business operations into new markets and construction of new vending machines and IRCs.
Financing Activities
Cash provided by financing activities was $603.2 million and $648.9 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, a decrease of $45.7 million. The net decrease primarily relates to the following financing activities:
•Proceeds from the issuance of long-term debt decreased $28.8 million to $367.3 million from $396.2 million in the nine month periods ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, The decrease was primarily driven by the net proceeds from Senior Notes offering in May 2019 of $246.2 million compared to the net proceeds of $342.5 million from the September 2018 offering. This decrease was partially offset by the increase of $69.9 million in other long-term debt proceeds, primarily driven by entering into the financing of beneficial interests in securitizations during the nine month period ended September 30, 2019.
•Net increase of $140.7 million for cash used to repay short-term revolving facilities during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to September 30, 2018 as a result of increased payments on and proceeds from the facilities by $1.9 billion and $1.8 billion, respectively.
These changes are offset by an increase in net proceeds from issuances of Class A common stock of $125.3 million as a result of the May and June 2019 issuances of Class A common stock for $297.6 million, net, compared to the follow-on offering in April 2018 of $172.3 million, net.
Contractual Obligations and Commitments
In September 2019, we entered into a lease for additional corporate office space in Tempe, Arizona. The lease payments will commence on the later of October 1, 2020 or six months following the date the lessor vacates the entirety of the premises and grants access to us. The initial lease term is for approximately 13 years and requires minimum future lease payments of approximately $132.4 million during the initial lease term.
We have not entered into any material contractual obligations or commitments outside of the ordinary course of business since the most recently ended fiscal year as disclosed in the header "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Fair Value Measurements
We report money market securities, certain receivables, and beneficial interests in securitizations at fair value. See Note 17 — Fair Value of Financial Instruments, included in Part I, Item 1, Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, which is incorporated into this item by reference.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
In the ordinary course of business, we sponsor and engage in securitization transactions to sell our finance receivables to a diverse pool of investors. These securitizations involve unconsolidated variable interest entities in which we retain at least 5% of the credit risk of the underlying finance receivables by holding at least 5% of the notes and certificates issued by these entities. We are exposed to market risk in the securitization market. See Note 8 — Securitizations and Variable Interest Entities, included in Part I, Item 1, Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, for further discussion regarding our transactions with unconsolidated variable interest entities.
Except as discussed above, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as of September 30, 2019.
Critical Accounting Policies
