Carmel, IN, August 4, 2026 — OPENLANE, Inc. (NYSE: OPLN), today reported its second quarter financial results for the period ended June 30, 2026.
"OPENLANE’s strong performance in the second quarter clearly demonstrates the powerful growth engine this company has built," said Peter Kelly, CEO of OPENLANE. "We grew consolidated revenue by 15%, delivered $103 million in Adjusted EBITDA, and increased marketplace GMV by 41% to $10.5 billion. Our commercial business is benefitting from the early stages of the off-lease inflection, and we grew US dealer volumes by over 30%, significantly outperforming the industry. I am pleased to raise OPENLANE’s 2026 consolidated Adjusted EBITDA guidance and confident in our ability to continue accelerating this positive momentum."
"OPENLANE remains well positioned in the market, and we are executing a strategy that is delivering results across the company," said Brad Herring, EVP and CFO of OPENLANE. "AFC continued to fuel the marketplace and contributed $46 million in Adjusted EBITDA. Our technology teams are releasing innovative features and new revenue-generating products and services. And as our 2025 go-to-market investments ramp towards full capacity, we are leaning into additional investments in 2026 based on that success."
2026 Guidance
The company is updating its annual guidance to the following:
| | | | | | | | | | | |
| Previous Guidance (May 5, 2026) | | Revised Guidance (August 4, 2026) |
Net income (in millions) | $147 - $164 | | $163 - $176 |
Adjusted EBITDA (in millions) | $365 - $385 | | $385 - $400 |
| Net income per share - diluted * | $1.09 - $1.23 | | $1.23 - $1.33 |
Operating Adjusted EPS | $1.28 - $1.42 | | $1.40 - $1.50 |
* The company uses the two-class method of calculating net income per diluted share. Under the two-class method, net income is adjusted for dividends and undistributed earnings (losses) to the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock (based on the weighted average number of participating securities outstanding during the period). The weighted average diluted shares used in the net income per diluted share calculation reflect the additional common shares resulting from the conversion of the remaining preferred shares into shares of common stock, weighted from the dates of conversion. Previous guidance assumed conversion in June 2026; revised guidance reflects the actual conversion in May 2026.
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, adverse changes in the value of foreign currencies relative to the U.S. dollar, changes in applicable laws and regulations (including significant accounting, tax and trade 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. See reconciliations of the company's guidance included below.

OPENLANE, Inc.
Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Free Cash Flow, Adjusted Free Cash Flow, Operating adjusted income and Operating adjusted income per diluted share (or "Operating Adjusted EPS") as presented herein are supplemental measures of our performance and liquidity that are not required by, or presented in accordance with, generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”). The presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. Management believes that these measures provide investors additional meaningful methods to evaluate certain aspects of OPENLANE’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.
Free Cash Flow is defined as net cash provided by operating activities, less purchases of property, equipment and computer software. Adjusted Free Cash Flow is Free Cash Flow adjusted for the cash portion of EBITDA addbacks to calculate Adjusted EBITDA, the net change in finance receivables held for investment and the net change in obligations collateralized by finance receivables. Management uses Adjusted Free Cash Flow to measure the funds generated in a given period that are available for capital allocation.
Operating adjusted income is defined as net income (loss) adjusted for acquired amortization expense, gains/losses on sale of property or businesses, impairments to goodwill or other intangible assets and certain other non-recurring items. Amortization expense associated with acquired intangible assets is not representative of ongoing capital expenditures but has a continuing effect on our reported results. Management believes Operating adjusted income provides comparability to other companies that may not have incurred these types of non-cash expenses or that report a similar measure. Operating Adjusted EPS represents Operating adjusted income divided by weighted average diluted shares, with preferred shares treated as converted for the entire period.
EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Free Cash Flow, Adjusted Free Cash Flow, Operating adjusted income and Operating Adjusted EPS have limitations as analytical tools, and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of the results as reported under GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

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

Overview of OPENLANE Results for the Three Months Ended June 30, 2026 and 2025
Overview
For the three months ended June 30, 2026, we had revenue of $554.6 million compared with revenue of $481.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, an increase of 15%. For a further discussion of our operating results, see the segment results discussions below.
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation and amortization decreased $0.7 million, or 3%, to $22.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared with $23.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025. The decrease in depreciation and amortization was primarily the result of assets that have become fully amortized and depreciated.
Interest Expense
Interest expense increased $6.9 million, or 223%, to $10.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared with $3.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025. The increase in interest expense was primarily the result of new term loan borrowings in the fourth quarter of 2025, partially offset by the repayment of the senior notes in the second quarter of 2025.
Other Income, Net
For the three months ended June 30, 2026, we had other income of $3.6 million compared with$7.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025. The decrease in other income was primarily attributable to a decrease in foreign currency gains on intercompany balances of $4.4 million and a net decrease in other miscellaneous items aggregating $0.7 million, primarily a decrease in interest income, partially offset by a $1.3 million realized gain on investment securities.
Income Taxes
We had an effective tax rate of 27.5% for the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared with an effective tax rate of 35.4% for the three months ended June 30, 2025. The effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2025 was unfavorably impacted by an increase in the valuation allowance related to 2025 current year movement of the adjusted U.S. net deferred tax asset.
Additionally, the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development has published a proposal to establish a new global minimum corporate tax rate of 15%, commonly referred to as Pillar Two. While the U.S. has not adopted the Pillar Two framework into law, numerous countries in which we operate have enacted tax legislation based on the Pillar Two framework with certain components of the minimum tax rules effective beginning in 2024 and further rules becoming effective beginning in 2025 and subsequent years. On January 5, 2026, the OECD announced agreement amongst members that would exclude U.S. parented groups from some taxes imposed by Pillar Two. This agreement allows for the U.S. international tax rules and Pillar Two to operate in parallel. These rules, as well as changes due to the agreement, are not expected to materially impact the Company's consolidated financial statements. The Company will continue to monitor U.S. and global legislative action related to Pillar Two for potential impacts.
Impact of Foreign Currency
For the three months ended June 30, 2026 compared with the three months ended June 30, 2025, the change in the euro exchange rate increased revenue by $2.1 million, operating profit by $0.1 million and net income by $0.1 million. For the three months ended June 30, 2026 compared with the three months ended June 30, 2025, the change in the Canadian dollar exchange rate had no effect on revenue, operating profit and net income.
Overview of OPENLANE Results for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2026 and 2025
Overview
For the six months ended June 30, 2026, we had revenue of $1,082.5 million compared with revenue of $941.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, an increase of 15%. For a further discussion of our operating results, see the segment results discussions below.
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation and amortization decreased $0.5 million, or 1%, to $45.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared with $45.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025. The decrease in depreciation and amortization was primarily the result of assets that have become fully amortized and depreciated.
Interest Expense
Interest expense increased $13.0 million, or 183%, to $20.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared with $7.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025. The increase in interest expense was primarily the result of new term loan borrowings in the fourth quarter of 2025, partially offset by the repayment of the senior notes in the second quarter of 2025.
Other Income, Net
For the six months ended June 30, 2026, we had other income of $5.2 million compared with$12.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025. The decrease in other income was primarily attributable to a decrease in foreign currency gains on intercompany balances of $7.7 million and a net decrease in other miscellaneous items aggregating $0.8 million, primarily a decrease in interest income, partially offset by a $1.3 million realized gain on investment securities.
Income Taxes
We had an effective tax rate of 26.3% for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared with an effective tax rate of 32.7% for the six months ended June 30, 2025. The effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2025 was unfavorably impacted by an increase in the valuation allowance related to 2025 current year movement of the adjusted U.S. net deferred tax asset.
Additionally, the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development has published a proposal to establish a new global minimum corporate tax rate of 15%, commonly referred to as Pillar Two.

The Company will continue to monitor U.S. and global legislative action related to Pillar Two for potential impacts.
Impact of Foreign Currency
For the six months ended June 30, 2026 compared with the six months ended June 30, 2025, the change in the euro exchange rate increased revenue by $11.3 million, operating profit by $0.7 million and net income by $0.5 million. For the six months ended June 30, 2026 compared with the six months ended June 30, 2025, the change in the Canadian dollar exchange rate increased revenue by $4.9 million, operating profit by $1.9 million and net income by $1.0 million.

Overview of Marketplace Results for the Three Months Ended June 30, 2026 and 2025
Total Marketplace Revenue
Revenue from the Marketplace segment increased $71.8 million, or 19%, to $447.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared with $375.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025. The increase in revenue was primarily attributable to the 27% increase in the number of vehicles sold. For the three months ended June 30, 2026, there were increases in auction and related fees, purchased vehicle sales and SaaS and other revenue. The change in revenue included the impact of an increase in revenue of $2.1 million due to fluctuations in the euro exchange rate.
The 27% increase in the number of vehicles sold was comprised of a 39% increase in commercial vehicles sold and a 13% increase in dealer consignment vehicles sold. The increase in commercial vehicles sold was primarily due to the onboarding of a new private label customer and an increase in off-lease vehicles sold. The GMV of vehicles sold for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 was approximately $10.5 billion and $7.5 billion, respectively. The year-over-year increase in GMV for the three months ended June 30, 2026 was driven by the increase in vehicles sold and an increase in the average value of vehicles sold.
Auction and Related Fees
Auction and related fees increased $45.1 million, or 21%, to $259.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared with $213.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025. Yield represents auction and related fees divided by GMV. Yield decreased 40 basis points to 2.5% for the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared with 2.9% for the three months ended June 30, 2025. The year-over-year decrease in consolidated yield for the three months ended June 30, 2026, was driven by an increased mix of commercial vehicles which carry lower yields than the consolidated average, as well as an increase in the average value of vehicles sold.
SaaS and Other Revenue
SaaS and other revenue increased $10.3 million, or 16%, to $73.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared with $63.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, primarily as a result of increases in SaaS revenues of $5.4 million, other repossession revenue of $4.8 million and other miscellaneous revenues aggregating approximately $0.1 million.
Purchased Vehicle Sales
The entire selling and purchase price of the vehicle is recorded as revenue and cost of services for purchased vehicles sold, which represent approximately 2% of total vehicles sold. Purchased vehicle sales increased $16.4 million, or 17%, to $114.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared with $98.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, primarily as a result of an increase in the number of purchased vehicles sold in the U.S. marketplace, partially offset by a decrease in the average selling price of purchased vehicles sold in the U.S. marketplace, and further offset by a decrease in the number of purchased vehicles sold in Europe, partially offset by an increase in the average selling price of purchased vehicles sold in Europe.
Gross Profit
For the three months ended June 30, 2026, gross profit from the Marketplace segment increased $20.9 million, or 17%, to $141.5 million, compared with $120.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025. Gross profit improvements were driven by a $17.1 million net increase in auction and service volumes (which is net of a decrease resulting from a higher mix of commercial vehicles sold and partially offset by $4.9 million of transportation margin compression). The gross profit improvement also included a $2.7 million increase from pricing and a $1.5 million benefit resulting from the absence of Canadian DST expense for the current period (see below). These improvements were partially offset by a decrease in other miscellaneous items aggregating $0.4 million.
Gross profit from the Marketplace segment was 31.6% of revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared with 32.1% of revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2025. Gross profit as a percentage of revenue decreased for the three months ended June 30, 2026 as compared with the three months ended June 30, 2025, primarily due to reduced margins in transportation services as a result of elevated fuel prices in North America, and an increase in purchased vehicle sales, partially offset by higher pricing and increased auction and service volumes.
As of March 31, 2026, the Company recorded a receivable of $10.0 million (C$13.9 million) within trade receivables on the consolidated balance sheet, representing the refund due for amounts previously remitted to the Canada Revenue Agency for the repeal of the Canadian Digital Services Tax in March 2026. In the second quarter of 2026, the Company received the full cash refund.
Provision for Credit Losses
Provision for credit losses from the Marketplace segment increased $1.2 million, or 600%, to $1.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared with $0.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, mainly as a result of growth in the Marketplace business.
Selling, General and Administrative
Selling, general and administrative expenses from the Marketplace segment increased $10.0 million, or 10%, to $109.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared with $99.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, primarily as a result of increases in sales-related expenses of $3.8 million, stock-based compensation of $3.4 million, compensation expense of $1.9 million, professional fees of $1.1 million and other miscellaneous expenses aggregating $1.2 million, partially offset by a decrease in severance of $1.4 million.
Loss on Sale of Property
In April 2025, the Company closed on the sale of excess property in Montreal that was originally purchased as part of the December 2023 Manheim Canada acquisition. This transaction resulted in a loss on sale of approximately $7.0 million in the second quarter of 2025.
Overview of Marketplace Results for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2026 and 2025
Total Marketplace Revenue
Revenue from the Marketplace segment increased $142.1 million, or 20%, to $868.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared with $726.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025. The increase in revenue was primarily attributable to the 23% increase in the number of vehicles sold. For the six months ended June 30, 2026, there were increases in auction and related fees, purchased vehicle sales and SaaS and other revenue. The change in revenue included the impact of an increase in revenue of $15.2 million due to fluctuations in the euro and Canadian dollar exchange rates.
The 23% increase in the number of vehicles sold was comprised of a 32% increase in commercial vehicles sold and a 13% increase in dealer consignment vehicles sold. The increase in commercial vehicles sold was primarily due to the onboarding of a new private label customer and an increase in off-lease vehicles sold. The GMV of vehicles sold for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 was approximately $19.6 billion and $14.4 billion, respectively. The year-over-year increase in GMV for the six months ended June 30, 2026 was driven by the increase in vehicles sold and an increase in the average value of vehicles sold.
Auction and Related Fees
Auction and related fees increased $88.0 million, or 21%, to $500.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared with $412.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025. Yield represents auction and related fees divided by GMV. Yield decreased 30 basis points to 2.6% for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared with 2.9% for the six months ended June 30, 2025. The year-over-year decrease in consolidated yield for the six months ended June 30, 2026, was driven by an increased mix of commercial vehicles which carry lower yields than the consolidated average, as well as an increase in the average value of vehicles sold.
SaaS and Other Revenue
SaaS and other revenue increased $11.2 million, or 9%, to $140.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared with $129.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, primarily as a result of increases in SaaS revenues of $6.6 million and other repossession revenue of $5.1 million, partially offset by net decreases in other miscellaneous revenues aggregating approximately $0.5 million.
Purchased Vehicle Sales
The entire selling and purchase price of the vehicle is recorded as revenue and cost of services for purchased vehicles sold, which represent approximately 2% of total vehicles sold. Purchased vehicle sales increased $42.9 million, or 23%, to $227.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared with $184.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, primarily as a result of an increase in the number of purchased vehicles sold in the U.S. marketplace.
Gross Profit
For the six months ended June 30, 2026, gross profit from the Marketplace segment increased $61.5 million, or 27%, to $290.8 million, compared with $229.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025. Gross profit improvements were driven by a $32.2 million net increase in auction and service volumes (which is net of a decrease resulting from a higher mix of commercial vehicles sold and partially offset by $5.9 million of transportation margin compression). The gross profit improvement also included an $18.8 million benefit related to the rescission of the digital services tax in Canada (see below), which includes a $15.9 million reversal of previously recognized expense and a $2.9 million benefit from the absence of expense for the current period. Additional drivers include a $12.0 million increase from pricing, partially offset by a decrease in other miscellaneous items aggregating $1.5 million.
Gross profit from the Marketplace segment was 33.5% of revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared with 31.6% of revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2025. Gross profit as a percentage of revenue increased for the six months ended June 30, 2026 as compared with the six months ended June 30, 2025, primarily due to the reversal of the Canadian digital services tax, higher pricing and increased auction and service volumes, partially offset by reduced margins in transportation services as a result of elevated fuel prices in North America in the second quarter of 2026. The $18.8 million benefit related to the rescission of the Canadian digital service tax increased gross profit as a percentage of revenue by 2.2%.
On June 28, 2024, Canada enacted a new 3% Digital Services Tax (“Canadian DST”) on certain online revenues, including online marketplace service revenues, of companies with consolidated revenues of at least €750 million. On March 26, 2026, Canada enacted a bill (C-15) including the repeal of the Canadian DST. This repeal is retroactive and applies to all periods since the tax's original inception. Consequently, the Company recorded an expense reversal of $15.9 million in the first quarter of 2026 (representing expense recorded in 2025 and prior periods, of which $2.9 million was recorded as expense in the first six months of 2025). As of March 31, 2026, the Company recorded a receivable of $10.0 million (C$13.9 million) within trade receivables on the consolidated balance sheet, representing the refund due for amounts previously remitted to the Canada Revenue Agency. In the second quarter of 2026, the Company received the full cash refund.
Provision for Credit Losses
Provision for credit losses from the Marketplace segment increased $1.5 million, or 300%, to $2.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared with $0.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, mainly as a result of growth in the Marketplace business.
Selling, General and Administrative
Selling, general and administrative expenses from the Marketplace segment increased $25.4 million, or 13%, to $220.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared with $194.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, primarily as a result of increases in stock-based compensation of $9.6 million, sales-related expenses of $6.5 million, compensation expense of $4.9 million, travel expenses of $1.8 million, incentive-based compensation of $1.5 million, information technology costs of $1.0 million, supplies expense of $0.9 million, fluctuations in the Canadian exchange rate of $0.9 million and other miscellaneous expenses aggregating $0.4 million, partially offset by a decrease in severance of $2.1 million.
Loss on Sale of Property
In April 2025, the Company closed on the sale of excess property in Montreal that was originally purchased as part of the December 2023 Manheim Canada acquisition. This transaction resulted in a loss on sale of approximately $7.0 million in the second quarter of 2025.

Cash flow from operating activities Net cash provided by operating activities was $212.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared with$194.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025. Cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2026 consisted primarily of cash earnings and an increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses, partially offset by an increase in trade receivables and other assets. Cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2025 consisted primarily of cash earnings and an increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses, partially offset by an increase in trade receivables and other assets. The increase in operating cash flow was primarily attributable to increased profitability, partially offset by changes in operating assets and liabilities as a result of the timing of collections and disbursement of funds to consignors for marketplace sales held near period-ends.
Changes in AFC’s accounts payable balance are presented in cash flows from operating activities, while changes in AFC’s finance receivables are presented in cash flows from investing activities and changes in AFC's obligations collateralized by finance receivables are presented in cash flows from financing activities. Variations in these balances can lead to significant fluctuations across operating, investing and financing cash flows. Growth and contraction in AFC’s finance receivables portfolio can result in significant swings in cash flows in a given period as approximately 70% to 75% of AFC’s finance receivables portfolio is funded through its securitization facilities with the remainder funded through other sources of liquidity including cash on hand and working capital.
Cash flow from investing activities Net cash used by investing activities was $243.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared with$29.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025.

The cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2026 was primarily due to a net increase in obligations collateralized by finance receivables, partially offset by repurchases
and retirement of common stock.
