OPENLANE, Inc. Reports 2023 Financial Results
Carmel, IN, February 20, 2024 OPENLANE, Inc. (NYSE: KAR), today reported its fourth quarter and annual financial results for the period ended December 31, 2023.
"Our business made significant progress in 2023, and we are very pleased to deliver results that exceeded our guidance for the year," said Peter Kelly, CEO of OPENLANE. "We are beginning to see the positive impacts of our strategic investments in innovation and technology, our brand simplification work, as well as our continued diligence around costs. Our solid execution in the fourth quarter and throughout 2023 delivered volume growth, revenue growth and margin expansion, results that I believe position OPENLANE for future growth and success."
2023 Financial Highlights
Total revenue of $1,645 million, an increase of 8%
Loss from continuing operations of $155 million, including a $251 million non-cash impairment
Adjusted EBITDA of $272 million, an increase of 18%, with Marketplace contributing approximately 40%
Marketplace volumes increased 3% and 10% in the fourth quarter
$237 million of cash flow from operating activities
2024 Guidance
Annual
Guidance
Income from continuing operations (in millions)
$74 - $88
Adjusted EBITDA (in millions)
$285 - $305
Income from continuing operations per share - diluted *
$0.20 - $0.30
Operating adjusted net income from continuing operations per share - diluted
$0.77 - $0.87
* The company uses the two-class method of calculating income from continuing operations per diluted share. Under the two-class method, income from continuing operations is adjusted for dividends and undistributed earnings (losses) to the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock, and the weighted average diluted shares do not assume conversion of the preferred shares to common shares.
Earnings guidance does not contemplate future items such as business development activities, strategic developments (such as restructurings, spin-offs or dispositions of assets or investments), contingent purchase price adjustments, significant expenses related to litigation, tax adjustments and changes in applicable laws and regulations (including significant accounting and tax matters) and intangible impairments. The timing and amounts of these items are highly variable, difficult to predict, and of a potential size that could have a substantial impact on the company’s reported results for any given period. Prospective quantification of these items is generally not practicable. Operating adjusted net income from continuing operations per share excludes amortization expense associated with acquired intangible assets, as well as one-time charges, net of taxes. See reconciliations of the company's guidance included below.

OPENLANE, Inc.
Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, operating adjusted net income (loss) and operating adjusted net income (loss) per share as presented herein are supplemental measures of our performance that are not required by, or presented in accordance with, generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”). They are not measurements of our financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as substitutes for net income (loss) or any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP. Management believes that these measures provide investors additional meaningful methods to evaluate certain aspects of the company’s results period over period and for the other reasons set forth below.
EBITDA is defined as net income (loss), plus interest expense net of interest income, income tax provision (benefit), depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is EBITDA adjusted for the items of income and expense and expected incremental revenue and cost savings as described in our senior secured credit agreement covenant calculations. Management believes that the inclusion of supplementary adjustments to EBITDA applied in presenting Adjusted EBITDA is appropriate to provide additional information to investors about one of the principal measures of performance used by our creditors. In addition, management uses EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to evaluate our performance.
Depreciation expense for property and equipment and amortization expense of capitalized internally developed software costs relate to ongoing capital expenditures; however, amortization expense associated with acquired intangible assets, such as customer relationships, software, tradenames and noncompete agreements are not representative of ongoing capital expenditures, but have a continuing effect on our reported results. Non-GAAP financial measures of operating adjusted net income (loss) and operating adjusted net income (loss) per share, in the opinion of the company, provide comparability of the company's performance to other companies that may not have incurred these types of non-cash expenses or that report a similar measure. In addition, operating adjusted net income (loss) and operating adjusted net income (loss) per share may include adjustments for certain other charges.
EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, operating adjusted net income (loss) and operating adjusted net income (loss) per share have limitations as analytical tools, and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of the results as reported under GAAP. These measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

(2)For the three months and year ended December 31, 2023, each tax deductible item was booked to the applicable statutory rate. The deferred tax benefits of $52.5 million and $6.5 million associated with the goodwill and tradename impairments, respectively, resulted in the U.S. being in a net deferred tax asset position. Due to the three year cumulative loss related to U.S. operations, we currently have a $36.4 million valuation allowance against the U.S. net deferred tax asset. For the three months and year ended December 31, 2022, the effective tax rate at the end of each period was used to determine the amount of income tax on the adjustments to net income.

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

The following tables reconcile EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to income (loss) from continuing operations for the periods presented:

Overview of OPENLANE Results for the Three Months Ended December 31, 2023 and 2022
Overview
For the three months ended December 31, 2023, we had revenue of $391.3 million compared with revenue of $372.8 million for the three months ended December 31, 2022, an increase of 5%. For a further discussion of revenues, gross profit and selling, general and administrative expenses, see the segment results discussions below.
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation and amortization increased $1.3 million, or 5%, to $25.3 million for the three months ended December 31, 2023, compared with $24.0 million for the three months ended December 31, 2022. The increase in depreciation and amortization was primarily the result of the amortization of the ADESA tradename, which was previously an indefinite-lived asset.
Gain on Sale of Property
In October 2022, the Company closed on the sale of excess land in Montreal which resulted in a gain of $33.9 million.
6


Interest Expense
Interest expense increased $3.9 million, or 11%, to $39.3 million for the three months ended December 31, 2023, compared with $35.4 million for the three months ended December 31, 2022. Interest expense increased $5.8 million at AFC and the increase was attributable to an increase in the average interest rate on the AFC securitization obligations to approximately 7.7% for the three months ended December 31, 2023, as compared with approximately 6.2% for the three months ended December 31, 2022. These items were partially offset by a decrease in interest expense resulting from the repayment of senior note debt in 2023.
Other (Income) Expense, Net
For the three months ended December 31, 2023, we had other income of $3.1 million compared with $7.7 million for the three months ended December 31, 2022. The decrease in other income was primarily attributable to a decrease in foreign currency gains on intercompany balances of $4.0 million and a decrease in other miscellaneous income aggregating $0.6 million.
Income Taxes
We had an effective tax rate of 35.8% for the three months ended December 31, 2023, compared with an effective tax rate of 29.9% for the three months ended December 31, 2022. The effective tax rate for the three months ended December 31, 2023 was unfavorably impacted by an increase in the valuation allowance related to current year movement of the adjusted U.S. net deferred tax asset and tax expense related to current and planned distribution of foreign earnings.
Income (Loss) from Discontinued Operations
In May 2022, Carvana acquired the ADESA U.S. physical auction business from the Company. As such, the financial results of the ADESA U.S. physical auction business have been accounted for as discontinued operations for all periods presented. The $0.7 million in income from discontinued operations for the three months ended December 31, 2023 was comprised of an adjustment to income taxes. The $4.8 million loss from discontinued operations for the three months ended December 31, 2022 was comprised of an adjustment to income taxes of $5.8 million, partially offset by a $1.0 million reduction to stock-based compensation expense resulting from the true-up of performance-based restricted stock units.
Impact of Foreign Currency
For the three months ended December 31, 2023 compared with the three months ended December 31, 2022, the change in the euro exchange rate increased revenue by $3.6 million, operating profit by $0.3 million and net income by $0.2 million. For the three months ended December 31, 2023 compared with the three months ended December 31, 2022, the change in the Canadian dollar exchange rate decreased revenue by $0.3 million, operating profit by $0.1 million and had no impact on net income.
Overview of OPENLANE Results for the Year Ended December 31, 2023 and 2022
Overview
For the year ended December 31, 2023, we had revenue of $1,645.1 million compared with revenue of $1,519.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2022, an increase of 8%. For a further discussion of revenues, gross profit and selling, general and administrative expenses, see the segment results discussions below.
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation and amortization increased $1.3 million, or 1%, to $101.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2023, compared with $100.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2022. The increase in depreciation and amortization was primarily the result of the amortization of the ADESA tradename, which was previously an indefinite-lived asset, partially offset by assets that have become fully depreciated and a reduction in assets placed in service.
Gain on Sale of Property
In October 2022, the Company closed on the sale of excess land in Montreal which resulted in a gain of $33.9 million.

Goodwill and Other Intangibles Impairment
Goodwill represents the excess cost over fair value of identifiable net assets of businesses acquired. The Company tests goodwill and indefinite-lived tradenames for impairment at the reporting unit level annually during the second quarter, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that impairment may exist. When performing the impairment assessment, the fair value of the Company's reporting units are estimated using the expected present value of future cash flows (Level 3 inputs).
As part of this annual process, in the second quarter of 2023 the Company updated its forecasts for all of its reporting units, including an updated estimate for near-term and long-term revenue growth rates reflecting a slower overall recovery in vehicle volumes. Discount rates and other cash flow assumptions used in the valuations were also adjusted. As a result of this impairment assessment, it was determined that the fair value was lower than the carrying value for our U.S. Dealer-to-Dealer and Europe reporting units (both within the Marketplace segment). Accordingly, the Company recorded non-cash goodwill impairment charges totaling $218.9 million related to our U.S. Dealer-to-Dealer reporting unit and $6.4 million related to our Europe reporting unit. The goodwill impairment charge related to our U.S. Dealer-to-Dealer reporting unit relates to tax deductible goodwill, and as such the impairment resulted in a deferred tax benefit of $52.5 million. The goodwill impairment related to our U.S. Dealer-to-Dealer reporting unit was primarily driven by lower near-term and long-term revenue growth associated with a slower overall recovery in vehicle volumes. The goodwill impairment related to our Europe reporting unit was driven by combining two previously separate reporting units (ADESA U.K. and ADESA Europe) into a single reporting unit. Including ADESA U.K. in the reporting unit resulted in a reduction in the overall fair value of the combined reporting unit, resulting in an impairment charge. The fair value of the remaining reporting units were in excess of their carrying value. The impairment charges were reported as a component of "Goodwill and other intangibles impairment" in the consolidated statements of income (loss).
As a result of the second quarter 2023 impairment charges, the carrying value of the U.S. Dealer-to-Dealer and Europe reporting units now approximate fair value. The assumptions used in the discounted cash flow analysis are subject to inherent uncertainties and subjectivity. As such, changes in our future forecasts, operating results, cash flows, discount rates and other factors used to estimate the fair value of our reporting units may result in additional goodwill impairment charges in the future, and could have a material, non-cash, effect on our consolidated operating profit (loss) and net income (loss).
We will continue to monitor events occurring or circumstances changing which may suggest that goodwill should be reevaluated during interim periods. As of December 31, 2023, the remaining carrying value of goodwill related to the U.S. Dealer-to-Dealer and Europe reporting units was $87.3 million and $120.8 million, respectively.
In addition, the second quarter 2023 announcement of the rebrand to an OPENLANE branded marketplace from the ADESA branded marketplaces served as a triggering event requiring a re-evaluation of the useful life and impairment of the ADESA tradename. As such, the Company evaluated the $122.8 million carrying amount of its indefinite-lived ADESA tradename, resulting in a non-cash impairment charge totaling $25.5 million in the second quarter of 2023 and associated deferred tax benefit of $6.5 million (within the Marketplace segment). The impairment charge was reported as a component of "Goodwill and other intangibles impairment" in the consolidated statements of income (loss). The ADESA tradename is expected to continue to generate cash flows pursuant to the purchase and commercial agreements with Carvana and its affiliates for a defined period. The fair value of the ADESA tradename was estimated using the royalty savings method (Level 3 inputs). Furthermore, as a result of the rebrand to OPENLANE, the ADESA tradename is no longer deemed to have an indefinite life and its remaining carrying amount of $97.3 million will be amortized over a remaining useful life of approximately 6 years.
The deferred tax benefits of $52.5 million and $6.5 million associated with the goodwill and tradename impairments, respectively, resulted in the U.S. being in a net deferred tax asset position. Due to the three-year cumulative loss related to U.S. operations, we recorded a $36.4 million valuation allowance against the U.S. net deferred tax asset at December 31, 2023.
Interest Expense
Interest expense increased $36.6 million, or 31%, to $155.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2023, compared with $119.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2022. Interest expense increased $51.6 million at AFC and the increase was attributable to an increase in the average interest rate on the AFC securitization obligations to approximately 7.4% for the year ended December 31, 2023, as compared with approximately 4.0% for the year ended December 31, 2022. In addition, in 2022, there was a realized gain of $16.7 million related to the
8


discontinuance of hedge accounting and termination of the interest rate swaps. These items were partially offset by a decrease in interest expense resulting from repayments of term loan and senior note debt in 2022 and 2023.
Other (Income) Expense, Net
For the year ended December 31, 2023, we had other income of $15.6 million compared with $1.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2022. The increase in other income was primarily attributable to the receipt of $20.0 million in connection with the early termination of a contractual arrangement and a net decrease in realized and unrealized losses on investment securities of $6.7 million, partially offset by the impairment of an equity security and note receivable with the same investee aggregating $10.3 million, a $1.3 million increase in contingent consideration valuation adjustment and a decrease in other miscellaneous income items aggregating $6.2 million. In addition, there were $2.9 million in foreign currency gains on intercompany balances for the year ended December 31, 2023, compared with $2.5 million in foreign currency losses on intercompany balances for the year ended December 31, 2022.
Loss on Extinguishment of Debt
In 2023, we replaced the Previous Revolving Credit Facility and also prepaid a portion of the senior notes. As a result of these items, we recorded a loss on extinguishment of debt totaling $1.1 million. The loss was primarily the result of the write-off of unamortized debt issuance costs associated with lenders not participating in the Revolving Credit Facility and unamortized debt issuance costs associated with the portion of the senior notes repaid.
In 2022, we prepaid the outstanding balance on Term Loan B-6, as well as a portion of the senior notes with proceeds from the Transaction. As a result of these repayments, we recorded a loss on extinguishment of debt totaling $17.2 million primarily representative of the early repayment premium on the senior notes and the write-off of unamortized debt issuance costs associated with Term Loan B-6 and the portion of the senior notes repaid.
Income Taxes
We had an effective tax rate of -5.7% resulting in expense on a pre-tax loss for the year ended December 31, 2023, compared with an effective tax rate of 25.9% for the year ended December 31, 2022. The effective tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2023 was impacted by the goodwill and other intangibles impairment charges and resulting $59.0 million deferred tax benefit recorded with respect to the impairment of tax deductible goodwill and the impairment of other intangibles, partially offset by the $36.4 million deferred tax expense associated with the recording of valuation allowance against the U.S. net deferred tax asset.
Income from Discontinued Operations
In May 2022, Carvana acquired the ADESA U.S. physical auction business from the Company. As such, the financial results of the ADESA U.S. physical auction business have been accounted for as discontinued operations for all periods presented. For the year ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company's financial statements included income from discontinued operations of $0.7 million and $212.6 million, respectively. The $0.7 million in income from discontinued operations for the year ended December 31, 2023 was comprised of an adjustment to income taxes.
Impact of Foreign Currency
For the year ended December 31, 2023 compared with the year ended December 31, 2022, the change in the Canadian dollar exchange rate decreased revenue by $13.9 million, operating profit by $3.5 million and net income by $1.5 million. For the year ended December 31, 2023 compared with the year ended December 31, 2022, the change in the euro exchange rate increased revenue by $7.0 million, operating profit by $0.5 million and net income by $0.3 million.

Overview of Marketplace Results for the Three Months Ended December 31, 2023 and 2022
Total Marketplace Revenue
Revenue from the Marketplace segment increased $22.6 million, or 8%, to $294.7 million for the three months ended December 31, 2023, compared with $272.1 million for the three months ended December 31, 2022. The change in revenue included the impact of an increase in revenue of $3.6 million due to fluctuations in the euro exchange rate, partially offset by a decrease in revenue of $0.3 million due to fluctuations in the Canadian dollar exchange rate. The increase in revenue was primarily attributable to the increases in purchased vehicle sales and auction fees (discussed below).
The 10% increase in the number of vehicles sold was comprised of a 21% increase in commercial volumes and a 2% decrease in dealer consignment volumes. The GMV of vehicles sold for the three months ended December 31, 2023 was approximately $5.7 billion.
Auction Fees
Auction fees increased $9.2 million, or 11%, to $90.0 million for the three months ended December 31, 2023, compared with $80.8 million for the three months ended December 31, 2022. The number of vehicles sold increased 10%. Auction fees per vehicle sold for the three months ended December 31, 2023 increased $3, or 1%, to $283, compared with $280 for the three months ended December 31, 2022. The increase in auction fees per vehicle sold reflects the impact of price increases and the introduction of new auction related services.
Service Revenue
Service revenue decreased $1.8 million, or 1%, to $144.5 million for the three months ended December 31, 2023 compared with $146.3 million for the three months ended December 31, 2022, primarily as a result of a decrease in transportation revenue of $13.0 million, partially offset by increases in repossession and remarketing fees of $6.9 million, inspection service revenue of $1.4 million and a net increase in other miscellaneous service revenues aggregating approximately $2.9 million.
10


Purchased Vehicle Sales
Purchased vehicle sales, which include the entire selling price of the vehicle, increased $15.2 million, or 34%, to $60.2 million for the three months ended December 31, 2023, compared with $45.0 million for the three months ended December 31, 2022, primarily as a result of an increase in the number of purchased vehicles sold.
Gross Profit
For the three months ended December 31, 2023, gross profit for the Marketplace segment increased $20.4 million, or 24%, to $106.2 million, compared with $85.8 million for the three months ended December 31, 2022. Revenue increased 8% for the three months ended December 31, 2023, while cost of services increased 1% during the same period. Gross profit for the Marketplace segment was 36.0% of revenue for the three months ended December 31, 2023, compared with 31.5% of revenue for the three months ended December 31, 2022.

Overview of Marketplace Results for the Year Ended December 31, 2023 and 2022
Total Marketplace Revenue
Revenue from the Marketplace segment increased $108.2 million, or 9%, to $1,251.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2023, compared with $1,143.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2022. The change in revenue included the impact of a decrease in revenue of $11.5 million due to fluctuations in the Canadian dollar exchange rate, partially offset by an increase in revenue of $7.0 million due to fluctuations in the euro exchange rate. The increase in revenue was primarily attributable to the increases in auction fees, service revenue and purchased vehicle sales (discussed below).
The 3% increase in the number of vehicles sold was comprised of a 7% increase in commercial volumes and a 2% decrease in dealer consignment volumes. The gross merchandise value ("GMV") of vehicles sold for the year ended December 31, 2023 was approximately $24.1 billion.

Overview of Finance Results for the Three Months Ended December 31, 2023 and 2022
Revenue
For the three months ended December 31, 2023, the Finance segment revenue decreased $4.1 million, or 4%, to $96.6 million, compared with $100.7 million for the three months ended December 31, 2022. The decrease in revenue was primarily the result of an increase in the provision for credit losses, partially offset by a 1% increase in loan transactions.
Revenue per loan transaction, which includes both loans paid off and loans curtailed, decreased $14, or 5%, primarily as a result of an increase in net credit losses, a decrease in loan values and a decrease in average portfolio duration, partially offset by an increase in interest yields driven by an increase in prime rates (Federal Reserve raised interest rates 100 basis points since December 31, 2022), and an increase in other fee income per unit.
The provision for credit losses increased to 2.5% of the average managed receivables for the three months ended December 31, 2023 from 1.1% for the three months ended December 31, 2022. The increased loss rate was due to significant used vehicle value declines, interest rate increases and tightening retail credit availability that impacted used retail sales. The provision for credit losses is expected to be approximately 2% or under, on a long-term basis, of the average managed receivables balance. However, the actual losses in any particular quarter or year could deviate from this range.
Gross Profit
For the three months ended December 31, 2023, gross profit for the Finance segment decreased $4.7 million, or 6%, to $80.3 million, or 83.1% of revenue, compared with $85.0 million, or 84.4% of revenue, for the three months ended December 31, 2022. The decrease in gross profit as a percent of revenue was primarily the result of a 4% decrease in revenue. In addition, there was a 4% increase in cost of services. The increase in cost of services of $0.6 million was primarily the result of increases in compensation expense of $0.4 million, professional fees of $0.2 million and travel expenses of $0.2 million, partially offset by a decrease in other miscellaneous expenses aggregating $0.2 million.
Selling, General and Administrative
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the Finance segment increased $1.9 million, or 19%, to $12.1 million for the three months ended December 31, 2023, compared with $10.2 million for the three months ended December 31, 2022 primarily as a result of increases in stock-based compensation of $1.9 million, postage expense

Overview of Finance Results for the Year Ended December 31, 2023 and 2022
Revenue
For the year ended December 31, 2023, the Finance segment revenue increased $17.5 million, or 5%, to $393.4 million, compared with $375.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2022. The increase in revenue was primarily the result of a 4% increase in loan transactions.
Revenue per loan transaction, which includes both loans paid off and loans curtailed, increased $1, or less than 1%, primarily as a result of an increase in interest yields driven by an increase in prime rates (Federal Reserve raised interest rates 100 basis points in 2023), and an increase in other fee income per unit, partially offset by an increase in net credit losses and a decrease in loan values.
The provision for credit losses increased to 2.1% of the average managed receivables for the year ended December 31, 2023 from 0.4% for the year ended December 31, 2022. The increased loss rate was due to significant used vehicle value declines, interest rate increases and tightening retail credit availability that impacted used retail sales.

The increase in gross profit was primarily the result of a 5% increase in revenue, partially offset by a 4% increase in cost of services. The increase in cost of services of $2.8 million was primarily the result of increases in compensation expense of $2.2 million, lot check expenses of $0.6 million and other miscellaneous expenses aggregating $1.3 million, partially offset by a decrease in incentive-based compensation of $1.3 million.
Selling, General and Administrative
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the Finance segment increased $3.3 million, or 7%, to $49.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2023, compared with $46.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2022 primarily as a result of increases in postage expense of $2.8 million, information technology costs of $0.8 million, stock-based compensation of $0.8 million and other miscellaneous expenses aggregating $0.1 million, partially offset by decreases in professional fees of $0.4 million, incentive-based compensation of $0.4 million and contract labor of $0.4 million.

Cash flow from operating activities (continuing operations) Net cash provided by operating activities (continuing operations) was $237.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2023, compared with $4.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2022. Cash provided by continuing operations for 2023 consisted primarily of cash earnings and an increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses, partially offset by an increase in trade receivables and other assets. Cash provided by continuing operations for 2022 consisted primarily of cash earnings and a decrease in trade receivables and other assets, partially offset by a decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses and the portion of contingent consideration payments classified in operating activities. The increase in operating cash flow was primarily attributable to changes in operating assets and liabilities as a result of the timing of collections and the disbursement of funds to consignors for marketplace sales held near period-ends, and changes in AFC's accounts payable balances, as well as a decrease in payments of contingent consideration in excess of acquisition-date fair value.
Changes in AFC’s accounts payable balance are presented in cash flows from operating activities while changes in AFC’s finance receivables are presented in cash flows from investing activities. Changes in these balances can cause variations in operating and investing cash flows.
Cash flow from investing activities (continuing operations) Net cash used by investing activities (continuing operations) was $90.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2023, compared with net cash provided by investing activities of $70.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2022. The cash used by investing activities in 2023 was primarily from the acquisition of Manheim Canada and purchases of property and equipment, partially offset by a decrease in finance receivables held for investment. The cash provided by investing activities in 2022 was primarily from a decrease in finance receivables held for investment and proceeds from the sale of property and equipment, partially offset by purchases of property and equipment.
Cash flow from financing activities (continuing operations) Net cash used by financing activities (continuing operations) was $279.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2023, compared with $1,621.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2022. The cash used by financing activities in 2023 was primarily due to the early repayment of senior notes, a net decrease in obligations collateralized by finance receivables, dividends paid on the Series A Preferred Stock, repurchases and retirement of common stock and payments of contingent consideration. The cash used by financing activities in 2022 was primarily due to payments made on the Company’s long-term debt and repurchases and retirement of common stock, partially offset by borrowings from lines of credit.
Cash flow from operating activities (discontinued operations) Net cash used by operating activities (discontinued operations) was $1.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2023, compared with $459.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2022. The cash used by operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2023 was primarily attributable to an adjustment to income taxes. The cash used by operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2022 was primarily attributable to income taxes paid associated with the taxable gain on the sale of the ADESA U.S. physical auction business and a decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses.

Cash flow from investing activities (discontinued operations) Net cash provided by investing activities (discontinued operations) was $7.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2023, compared with $2,077.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2022. The cash provided by investing activities for the year ended December 31, 2023 was attributable to the final proceeds from the sale of the ADESA U.S. physical auction business.

12 Q4 | 2023 APPENDIX


 
13 Q4 | 2023 Non-GAAP Financial Measures EBITDA is defined as net income (loss), plus interest expense net of interest income, income tax provision (benefit), depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is EBITDA adjusted for the items of income and expense and expected incremental revenue and cost savings as described in the company's senior secured credit agreement covenant calculations. Management believes that the inclusion of supplementary adjustments to EBITDA applied in presenting Adjusted EBITDA is appropriate to provide additional information to investors about one of the principal measures of performance used by the company’s creditors. In addition, management uses EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to evaluate the company’s performance. Depreciation expense for property and equipment and amortization expense of capitalized internally developed software costs relate to ongoing capital expenditures; however, amortization expense associated with acquired intangible assets, such as customer relationships, software, tradenames and non-compete agreements are not representative of ongoing capital expenditures but have a continuing effect on our reported results. Non-GAAP financial measures of operating adjusted net income (loss) and operating adjusted net income (loss) per share, in the opinion of the company, provide comparability to other companies that may not have incurred these types of non-cash expenses or that report a similar measure. In addition, net income (loss) and net income (loss) per share have been adjusted for certain other charges, as seen in the following reconciliation. EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, operating adjusted net income (loss) and operating adjusted net income (loss) per share have limitations as analytical tools, and should not be considered in isolation, or as a substitute for analysis of the results as reported under GAAP. These measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

The deferred tax benefits of $52.5 million and $6.5 million associated with the goodwill and tradename impairments, respectively, resulted in the U.S. being in a net deferred tax asset position. Due to the three year cumulative loss related to U.S. operations, we currently have a $36.4 million valuation allowance against the U.S. net deferred tax asset. For the three months and year ended December 31, 2022, the effective tax rate at the end of each period was used to determine the amount of income tax on the adjustments to net income.
