Looking now at 2023, we are reiterating our guidance and updating our year-end cash forecast. Paul and Alex have already described the steps we are taking to make our business more profitable. We have our retail GPU levers. We have halved the headcount and mothballed all non-operational facilities. In terms of 2023 guidance, we are setting out the following; retail unit sales of 40,000 to 50,000 units; retail GPU for the year approaching £1,200 a unit, about 3 times the level we achieved in 2022 with an exi ...

Strategy and Market Focus - The company has shifted its strategy from maximizing market share in the UK and mainland Europe to focusing solely on the UK market and improving unit economics, which may pose implementation challenges[40][45] - The Revised 2023 Plan aims to improve unit economics by reducing employee headcount, lowering marketing spend, rationalizing vehicle preparation and customer support sites, and increasing retail gross profit per unit (GPU)[48] - Revised 2023 Plan includes reducing vehicle preparation centers, potentially decreasing reconditioning capacity and impacting gross profit per unit[104] - Revised 2023 Plan reduces vehicle preparation centers to 4 and customer centers to 7 in the UK as of March 20, 2023[118][129] Financial Performance and Profitability - The company has a history of losses, with an accumulated loss of approximately £1,279 million as of December 31, 2022, and may not achieve profitability in the future[49][51] - The company's ability to improve unit economics depends on factors such as acquiring suitable inventory, improving logistics efficiency, and attracting customers to its website[55] - The company's Revised Business Plans are based on current estimates and assumptions, which are subject to risks and uncertainties, and may not fully realize the anticipated cost savings and benefits[47] - The company's 2023 budget aims to reduce cash consumption and achieve profitability without external funding until H2 2024, including closures of vehicle preparation centers and headcount reductions[58] - The company's ability to continue as a going concern is under substantial doubt due to potential insufficient cash and liquid assets to cover operating and capital requirements through April 30, 2024[56] Capital and Liquidity - The company may require additional outside capital in the next 12 months, but as of now, there are no firm commitments for such capital[52] - As of December 31, 2022, the company had cash and cash equivalents of £258.3 million, which is expected to meet liquidity requirements for at least the next twelve months[57] - The company plans to increase liquidity through actions such as sale and leaseback of owned property and unwinding the UK subscriptions business[59] - The company's future debt may contain restrictive covenants, limiting its ability to obtain additional capital and pursue business opportunities[62] - The company's ability to repurchase Convertible Notes or repay principal at maturity may be limited by law, regulatory authority, or future indebtedness agreements[70] Debt and Financing - As of December 31, 2022, the company had indebtedness outstanding of £531 million, including £162 million in stocking loans and £349 million in Convertible Notes[67] - The company's interest expense from indebtedness was £53 million for the year ended December 31, 2022[67] - The company may face challenges in refinancing existing debt or securing new debt due to rising interest rates and market conditions[64] - The company is proactively managing its car financing facilities, which totaled £240 million as of December 31, 2022, to reflect lower unit volume expectations for 2023[63] Inventory and Supply Chain - The company's business is sensitive to changes in the prices of new and used vehicles, and obstacles in acquiring suitable inventory could have a material adverse effect on its operations[42] - Vehicle inventory accounted for £233 million, or approximately 27% of the company's total assets as of December 31, 2022, with excess inventory potentially leading to downward pressure on sales prices and margins[103] - The company's ability to recondition and sell inventory expeditiously is critical, as delays could lead to depreciation and reduced gross profit per unit[103] - Customer demand exceeding capacity to purchase and recondition used vehicle inventory could lead to lower inventory levels and conversion rates[104] - The value of the company's overall inventory as of December 31, 2022, amounted to £233 million[131] - The company faces risks of uninsured damages due to force majeure events such as flooding, fires, or hail affecting its inventory[132] - Seasonal fluctuations in used vehicle prices may result in higher gross profit per unit in the first half of the year compared to the second half[140] Marketing and Customer Acquisition - The company recorded marketing expenses of £63 million in 2022 but has reduced and intends to continue reducing certain types of marketing, which may affect its ability to sustain brand visibility[93] - The company's ability to attract users to its website in a cost-effective manner is crucial, and a failure to do so could negatively impact its business[85] - The company's reliance on search engines and vehicle listings sites to drive traffic to its website is not entirely within its control, and changes in search engine algorithms could adversely affect its operating results[95] - The company's brand reputation is vital for attracting users and increasing engagement, and any damage to this reputation could adversely affect consumer demand and results of operations[91] - Social networks are a critical source of new clients and engagement, with potential risks including reduced brand affinity and increased marketing costs if unpaid tools become ineffective[159] Operational Risks - The company has identified material weaknesses in its internal control over financial reporting (ICFR) for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, which could adversely affect its ability to report financial results accurately and timely[44] - The company's operations may be adversely affected by legal, regulatory, and other developments, including non-compliance with financial regulations[44] - Disruption to customer or vehicle preparation centers could significantly impact vehicle reconditioning, order fulfillment, and customer satisfaction[119] - Reliance on third-party suppliers for outsourced services and value-added products introduces risks of service interruptions and quality issues[121][123] - Transportation costs and logistics risks, including rising carrier prices and vehicular crashes, could disrupt inventory supply chain and distribution[128] - Manufacturer recalls and financial issues could adversely affect vehicle supply, sales, and valuations, potentially increasing costs and litigation risks[130] - The company is exposed to cyber-attacks, which could result in significant financial losses, reputational harm, and regulatory fines[151] - The company's website and IT systems are critical to its operations, and any disruptions could harm its reputation and result in lost sales[154] - The company relies on third-party web-hosting providers, and any service interruptions or financial difficulties faced by these providers could negatively impact its business[155] - Email and messaging service malfunctions could lead to customer dissatisfaction and regulatory issues, impacting the company's operations[160] - Online payment methods expose the company to risks such as increased fees, fraud, and compliance costs, which could affect financial performance[162] - Fraudulent credit card transactions could result in significant financial losses, with the company potentially liable for such transactions[163] - Noncompliance with global payment regulations could lead to reputational damage, litigation, and increased operational costs[164] - Data protection failures, including breaches of UK GDPR, could result in fines of up to 4% of annual global turnover and reputational harm[165] - Third-party service providers' failure to comply with data protection obligations could compromise customer data and lead to financial penalties[166] - Intellectual property risks include potential infringement claims, costly litigation, and the need to develop alternative technologies[174] Economic and Market Conditions - Global inflation and geopolitical conflicts have exacerbated inflationary pressures, leading to increased costs for labor, fuel, materials, and services, which could negatively impact the company's revenues and gross profit per unit[79] - Economic slowdowns, particularly in the UK, may reduce consumer purchases of vehicles, negatively affecting the company's profitability and putting downward pressure on product and service prices and volumes[80] - The company's geographic concentration in the UK exposes it to risks related to regional economic downturns, severe weather, and Brexit-related uncertainties, which could adversely affect its financial condition and results of operations[83] - Rising interest rates could make vehicles less affordable, steering customers to less profitable options and adversely affecting financial condition[106] - Significant changes in retail prices for new or used vehicles could materially impact revenues and results of operations[107] - Decline in used vehicle prices could reduce inventory acquisition costs but may also lead to asset impairments and lower gross profit[108] - Foreign exchange fluctuations, particularly between GBP and USD, could lead to volatility in operating results and increased interest expenses[179] Regulatory and Compliance - The company is subject to UK corporation tax, and changes in tax laws or regulations could materially impact its cash flows and financial condition[206] - Legal disputes in the UK or other jurisdictions could result in costly litigation, diverting financial and management resources and potentially harming the company's reputation[207] - Non-compliance with financial regulations could result in penalties, loss of licenses, or cease-and-desist orders, impacting business operations[192] - UK Government's plan to ban new petrol and diesel car sales by 2030 may reduce inventory availability and increase costs[196] - Increased public and shareholder attention to ESG matters may expose the company to negative perception and additional costs[198] - The company's insurance may not provide adequate coverage against claims, potentially requiring the company to pay significant liabilities from its own funds[208] - The inability to obtain affordable inventory insurance could force the company to self-insure, reducing its ability to invest in the business and exposing it to financial risk[209] Shareholder and Equity Risks - The company's Class A Shares are at risk of delisting from the NYSE if the average global market capitalization falls below $50 million over 30 trading days[216] - The company's Warrants were delisted from the NYSE and are now traded over the counter, which may limit liquidity and investor ability to transact in these securities[217] - The company issued $630 million in Convertible Notes, which may be converted into Class A Shares, potentially diluting existing shareholders and increasing the number of shares available for resale[223] - Outstanding Warrants for 2,062,728 Class A Shares may be exercised, leading to dilution of existing shareholders and increased shares available for resale[224] - Future issuances of Class A Shares or equity-linked securities could dilute existing shareholders and negatively impact the market price of the company's shares[226] - Fluctuations in operating results, negative media coverage, and external economic factors could lead to significant volatility in the company's share price[227] - The company does not currently intend to pay dividends on its Class A Shares, and shareholders' return on investment will depend on the appreciation of the share price[230] - Alex Chesterman owns approximately 24.3% of the issued and outstanding Class A Shares, giving him significant influence over shareholder decisions and potential delays in changes of control[231] - The company's securities may experience significant price fluctuations due to factors such as performance, large share transactions, legislative changes, and economic conditions[228] - Existing shareholders' proportionate ownership interest may decrease, potentially reducing cash available per share and diminishing voting power[229] - The company is incorporated under Cayman Islands law, which may limit shareholders' ability to enforce rights through U.S. Federal courts[232] -

Remediation plan may require substantial time and resources, with no assurance of timely completion or avoidance of future material weaknesses[186] - Potential decline in market price of securities and loss of investor confidence if material weaknesses are not addressed[187] Customer Service and Warranty - The return rate for cars sold under the 7-day return policy in 2022 was 6.7%[138] - The company provides a free 90-day warranty and offers extended warranty, insurance, and service plans, which may lead to increased costs if provisions are set too low[145] Technology and Digital Infrastructure -
