Vroom Announces Third Quarter 2026 Results
Quarterly realized and unrealized losses, net of recoveries, fell 52.8% year over year, while several income streams declined.
Sentiment and the balance of points
Rhea-AI Sentiment reads the wording of the document, how positive or negative its language is on a 1 to 5 scale. The balance of points shown with the takes weighs what the document actually discloses, so the two can disagree, for example when a trial that missed its main goal is described in upbeat language.
Rhea-AI Summary
Vroom (Nasdaq: VRM) reported a third-quarter 2026 net loss of $9.8 million, narrowing from the same quarter a year earlier. The loss improved by $16.9 million year over year but increased $10.4 million sequentially. Vroom attributed the sequential deterioration primarily to higher mark-to-market losses from seasonality, rising interest rates and higher expected lifetime losses on older loans. Loss attributable to common shareholders was $10.5 million; adjusted net loss was $8.7 million.
At September 30, stockholders' equity was $91.1 million and available liquidity was $64.2 million. Vroom Automotive issued preferred stock units for $20 million in gross proceeds during the quarter. Vroom completed approximately $234.2 million of asset-backed securities issuance on October 15. Updated full-year guidance calls for $460 million to $485 million in indirect originations and an adjusted net loss of $30 million to $35 million.
How this balance works
Rhea-AI gives every point it takes from this document a weight. Minor counts 1, Moderate 3 and Major 9, so one Major point outweighs several Minor ones. The bar adds up the weights on each side, and when neither side holds more than 65% of the total the balance reads Mixed.
It reads the document as published, with the same rules for every company, and it does not look at what the market expected or at how the stock traded, so a point can be objectively good on a day the stock falls.
Rhea-AI Sentiment measures something else, the tone of the wording.

Fresh Start Accounting
As a result of emerging from a voluntary proceeding (the “Prepackaged Chapter 11 Case”) under Chapter 11 of the United States Code, 11 U.S.C. §§ 101-1532, as amended from time to time, on January 14, 2025, (the "Effective Date") and qualifying for the application of fresh-start accounting, at the Effective Date, Vroom’s assets and liabilities were recorded at their estimated fair values which, in some cases, are significantly different than amounts included in our financial statements prior to the Effective Date. Accordingly, our consolidated financial statements after the Effective Date are not comparable with our consolidated financial statements on or before that date. References to “Successor” relate to our financial position and results of operations after the Effective Date. References to “Predecessor” refer to our financial position and results of operations on or before the Effective Date.
The combined results (referenced as “Non-GAAP Combined” or “Combined”) for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, represent the sum of the reported amounts for the Predecessor period from January 1, 2025, through January 14, 2025, and the Successor period from January 15, 2025, through September 30, 2025. These combined results are not considered to be prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") and have not been prepared as pro forma results per applicable regulations. The combined operating results do not reflect the actual results we would have achieved absent our emergence from the Prepackaged Chapter 11 Case and are not necessarily indicative of future results. Accordingly, the results for the combined nine months ended September 30, 2025, (prepared on a Non-GAAP basis) and nine months ended September 30, 2026, (prepared on a GAAP basis) may not be comparable, particularly for statement of operations line items significantly impacted by the reorganization transactions and the impact of fresh start accounting.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to our results determined in accordance with GAAP, we believe Adjusted net income (loss) is useful in evaluating our operating performance, total available liquidity is useful in evaluating our liquidity position, and tangible book value is useful in evaluating our capital position excluding intangible assets.
Adjusted net income (loss) is a supplemental performance measure that our management uses to assess our operating performance and the operating leverage in our business. Because Adjusted net income (loss) facilitates internal comparisons of our historical operating performance on a more consistent basis, we use this measure for business planning purposes.
Tangible book value is calculated as stockholders' equity in accordance with GAAP, after subtracting intangible assets. A reconciliation of stockholders' equity to tangible book value is included above.
Total available liquidity represents unrestricted cash and cash equivalents, availability from warehouse credit facilities, and available liquidity from the delayed draw facility. A reconciliation of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents to total available liquidity is included above.
These non-GAAP measures have limitations as analytical tools because they do not reflect all of the amounts associated with our results of operations or liquidity as determined in accordance with GAAP. Additionally, they may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. Other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate non-GAAP financial measures differently than we do, limiting the usefulness of those measures for those comparative purposes. Because of these limitations, these non-GAAP financial measures should be considered along with other operating and financial performance measures presented in accordance with GAAP. The presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. We have reconciled these non-GAAP financial measures with the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures elsewhere herein.
Non-GAAP Combined Nine Months Ended September 30, 2025
Our financial results for the periods from January 1, 2025 through January 14, 2025 are referred to as those of the “Predecessor” periods. Our financial results for the periods from January 15, 2025 and thereafter are referred to as those of the “Successor” periods. Our results of operations as reported in our Consolidated Financial Statements for these periods are prepared in accordance with GAAP. Although GAAP requires that we report our results for the period from January 1, 2025 through January 14, 2025 and the period from January 15, 2025 through September 30, 2025, separately, management views our operating results for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 by combining the results of the applicable Predecessor and Successor periods because such presentation provides the most meaningful comparison of our results to prior periods. We believe we cannot adequately benchmark the operating results of the period from January 15, 2025 through September 30, 2025 against any of the previous or future periods reported in our Consolidated Financial Statements without combining it with the period from January 1, 2025 through January 14, 2025 and we do not believe that reviewing the results of this period in isolation would be useful in identifying trends in or reaching conclusions regarding our overall operating performance. Management believes that the key performance metrics for the Successor period when combined with the Predecessor period provide more meaningful comparisons to other periods and are useful in identifying current business trends. Accordingly, in addition to presenting our results of operations as reported in our Consolidated Financial Statements in accordance with GAAP, the tables and discussion below also present the combined results for the nine months ended September 30, 2025. The combined results for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 represent the sum of the reported amounts for the Predecessor period from January 1, 2025 through January 14, 2025 and the Successor period from January 15, 2025 through September 30, 2025. These combined results are not considered to be prepared in accordance with GAAP and have not been prepared as pro forma results per applicable regulations. The combined operating results do not reflect the actual results we would have achieved absent our emergence from the Prepackaged Chapter 11 Case and are not necessarily indicative of future results. Accordingly, the results for the combined nine months ended September 30, 2026 (prepared on a GAAP basis) and nine months ended September 30, 2025 (prepared on a Non-GAAP basis) may not be comparable, particularly for statement of operations line items significantly impacted by the reorganization transactions and the impact of fresh start accounting.
Adjusted net income (loss)
We calculate Adjusted net income (loss) as net income (loss) from continuing operations less preferred stock dividends attributable to noncontrolling interests of subsidiary, adjusted for stock compensation expense, severance expense, bankruptcy costs (which represent professional fees incurred related to the bankruptcy prior to filing of the petition and post-emergence), reorganization items, net (which relate to certain charges incurred during the bankruptcy proceedings, such as legal and professional fees incurred directly as a result of the bankruptcy proceeding, the write-off of deferred financing costs and discount on debt subject to compromise and other related charges), operating lease right-of-use assets impairment and long-lived asset impairment charges.
The following table presents a reconciliation of Adjusted net income (loss) to net income (loss) from continuing operations, which is the most directly comparable GAAP measure (in thousands):

FAQ
AI-generated questions and answers. How Rhea-AI works. Not financial advice.
What were Vroom's third-quarter 2026 earnings results?
Vroom reported a $9.8 million net loss and an $8.7 million adjusted net loss for the third quarter of 2026. Net loss attributable to controlling interest and common shareholders was $10.5 million. Net loss improved $16.9 million year over year but increased $10.4 million from the preceding quarter.
What is Vroom's updated full-year 2026 guidance?
Vroom's updated full-year 2026 guidance is $460 million to $485 million in indirect origination volume and an adjusted net loss of $30 million to $35 million. The company updated the outlook to reflect third-quarter results.
What makes up Vroom's available liquidity at September 30, 2026?
Vroom's $64.2 million available liquidity comprised $33.0 million in cash and cash equivalents, $4.2 million available to UACC under warehouse credit facilities, and $27.0 million available from a delayed draw facility. Total available liquidity is a non-GAAP measure and includes borrowing availability, not just cash.
Why are Vroom's nine-month 2026 and 2025 results not directly comparable?
Fresh-start accounting following Vroom's January 14, 2025 emergence from Chapter 11 changed the recorded values of assets and liabilities. The combined nine-month 2025 results add predecessor and successor periods and are non-GAAP. Those combined figures may not be comparable with nine-month 2026 GAAP results, particularly where reorganization and fresh-start accounting affected individual items.
