Volume hit: Retail units sold fell 22.1% to 10,275, driven primarily by constrained inventory tied to a capital-structure transition, not weak demand.
Capital focus: Management completed a $300M term loan and a $161.3M ABS (25-4 residual cash flow) at a 7.02% weighted coupon, but a revolving warehouse facility remains the critical missing piece to restore normal purchasing cadence.
Demand intact: Website traffic was up 4% YoY and credit applications remain elevated, and management says tax-season demand improved inventory turn in January–February once buying resumed.
Operations & cost actions: Phase 1 and Phase 2 SG&A actions (18 store consolidations, workforce reductions) are complete; $2.8M of one-time impairment was taken and most run-rate savings will show in Q4.
Credit & collections: Underlying credit performance was stable—net charge-offs declined to $96M (units charged off ~9,200), collections totaled $179M (up 1.5% YoY), and Pay Your Way materially increased remote payments.
Accounting hits: Company recorded a $47M noncash valuation allowance on a deferred tax asset (Colonial Auto Finance) and reported a GAAP loss per share of $9.25; adjusted loss per share was $1.53.
