The following discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws, and should be read in conjunction with the disclosures we make concerning risks and other factors that may affect our business and operating results. See "Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements" preceding Part I, Item 1 in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Unless the context suggests otherwise, all reference in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to the "Company," "we," "us," refer toIAA, Inc. together with its subsidiaries. Executive Overview Our Business We are a leading global digital marketplace connecting vehicle buyers and sellers. Leveraging leading-edge technology and focusing on innovation, our unique platform facilitates the marketing and sale of total-loss, damaged and low-value vehicles for a full spectrum of sellers. Headquartered inWestchester, IL , we have two operating and reportable segments:United States and International. We maintain operations inthe United States , which make upthe United States segment and operations inCanada and theUnited Kingdom , which make up the International segment. We have more than 210 facilities across both business segments. We serve a global buyer base and a full spectrum of sellers, including insurance companies, dealerships, fleet lease and rental car companies, and charitable organizations. We offer sellers a comprehensive suite of services aimed at maximizing vehicle value, reducing administrative costs, shortening selling cycle time and delivering the highest economic returns. Our solutions provide global buyers with the vehicles they need to, among other things, fulfill their vehicle rebuild requirements, replacement part inventory or scrap demand. We provide global buyers with multiple digital bidding and buying channels, innovative vehicle merchandising, and efficient evaluation services, enhancing the overall purchasing experience.
Sources of Revenues and Expenses
A significant portion of our revenue is derived from auction fees and related services associated with our salvage auctions. Our revenue earned from buyers represents fees charged based on a tiered structure that increases with the sales price of the vehicle, as well as fees for additional services such as storage, transportation, and vehicle condition reporting. Our revenue earned from sellers represents the combination of the inbound tow, processing, storage, titling, enhancing and auctioning of the vehicle. The majority of our business comprises auctioning vehicles on a consignment basis, meaning that our sellers continue to own their vehicles until they are sold to buyers through one of our digital marketplaces. We recognize revenue from consigned vehicles on a net basis as we have no influence on the vehicle auction selling price agreed to by the seller and the buyer at the auction. We also purchase vehicles in certain situations and resell them or, in our International segment, dismantle them and sell the vehicle parts and scrap. We recognize revenue from purchased vehicles on a gross basis, which results in lower gross margin versus vehicles sold at auction on a consignment basis. Our operating expenses consist of cost of services, cost of vehicle and parts sales, selling, general and administrative and depreciation and amortization. Cost of services is comprised of payroll and related costs, subcontract services, supplies, insurance, property taxes, utilities, service contract claims, maintenance, and lease expense related to the auction sites. Cost of vehicle and parts sales represents the cost of purchased vehicles. Cost of services and cost of vehicle and parts sales exclude depreciation and amortization. Selling, general and administrative expenses are comprised of, among other things, payroll and related costs, sales and marketing, information technology services and professional fees.
Market Trends and Uncertainties
The coronavirus pandemic ("COVID-19") has severely impacted, and continues to impact, worldwide economic activities. In addition, the global economy has recently experienced extreme volatility and disruptions, including increases in fuel prices and other inflationary conditions, disruptions in the global supply chain and uncertainty about economic stability. The higher production costs and supply chain disruptions related to new vehicles continue to keep new vehicle prices elevated resulting in an increase in used car prices. This increase in used car prices has contributed to our higher average selling prices and revenue per unit, which have been offset slightly by higher purchased vehicle costs. As a result of macroeconomic conditions, we are continuing to experience labor, towing and other transportation pressures, which have increased our associated costs and adversely impacted our gross margin. In addition, rising interest rates are increasing our interest expense related to our variable debt obligations. We believe the foregoing direct and indirect impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and current macroeconomic environment will continue to impact our business in fiscal 2022. 22

Three Months Ended
United States service revenues increased by$21.9 million due to an increase in revenue per unit of 11%, which primarily resulted from higher average selling prices due to increased buyer participation, enhanced product and service offerings and higher used car prices. This increase was partially offset by a lower volume of vehicles sold, which decreased by 5% primarily due to the previous loss of significant volume from a single vehicle supplier, partially offset by volume gains from other vehicle suppliers. International service revenues increased by$12.2 million due to incremental revenue of$5.6 million from theSYNETIQ acquisition, and a higher volume of vehicles sold, which increased by 23% primarily due to higher miles driven inCanada . These increases were partially offset by a decrease in revenue per unit of 1% mainly due to a change in mix of vehicles sold.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
We believe that the significant indicators of liquidity for our business are cash on hand, cash flow from operations and working capital. Our principal source of liquidity consists of cash generated by operations. Our Revolving Credit Facility (as defined below) provides another source of liquidity as needed.
Our cash flow is used to invest in new products and services, fund capital expenditures and working capital requirements and, coupled with borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility, is expected to be adequate to satisfy our cash requirements, including those listed below, fund future acquisitions, and repurchase shares of our common stock, if any. Our ability to fund our cash requirements will depend on our ongoing ability to generate cash from operations and to access borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility. We believe that our cash on hand, future cash from operations, borrowings available under our Revolving Credit Facility and access to the debt and capital markets will provide adequate resources to fund our operating and financing needs for the next twelve months and beyond. Approximately$40.2 million of available cash was held by our foreign subsidiaries as ofJuly 3, 2022 . We do not currently expect to incur significant additional tax liabilities if funds held by our foreign subsidiaries were to be repatriated. There have been no material changes to our cash requirements from known contractual and other obligations reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year endedJanuary 2, 2022 filed with theSecurities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") onFebruary 28, 2022 .
Debt Service Obligations
OnApril 30, 2021 , we entered into a credit agreement withJPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A ., as administrative agent, and the other lenders from time to time party thereto (the "Credit Agreement"). The Credit Agreement provides for, among other things: (i) a senior secured term loan in an aggregate principal amount of$650 million (the "Term Loan") and (ii) a senior secured revolving credit facility with revolving commitments in an aggregate principal amount of$525 million (the "Revolving Credit Facility" and, together with the Term Loan, the "Credit Facility"). Borrowing availability under the Revolving Credit Facility is subject to no default or event of default under the Credit Agreement having occurred at the time of borrowing. The Credit Facility matures onApril 30, 2026 . As ofJuly 3, 2022 ,$641.9 million was outstanding under the Term Loan and no borrowings were outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility. As ofJuly 3, 2022 , the interest rate per annum for the Term Loan was 3.04%. We were in compliance with the covenants in the Credit Agreement atJuly 3, 2022 . OnJune 6, 2019 , we issued$500.0 million aggregate principal amount of 5.500% Senior Notes due 2027. We must pay interest on the Notes in cash onJune 15 andDecember 15 of each year at a rate of 5.500% per annum. The Notes will mature onJune 15, 2027 . We were in compliance with the covenants in the indenture governing the Notes atJuly 3, 2022 .
See Note 5 - Debt in the notes to consolidated financial statements for additional information on our outstanding indebtedness.
Capital Expenditures
Capital expenditures for the six months endedJuly 3, 2022 andJune 27, 2021 were$75.1 million and$57.8 million , respectively. Our capital expenditures during the six months endedJuly 3, 2022 primarily related to real estate development and technology-based investments, including improvements in information technology systems and infrastructure. Capital expenditures were funded primarily from cash flow from operations. We continue to invest in our core information technology capabilities and capacity expansion. Future capital expenditures could vary substantially based on capital project timing, the opening of new auction facilities, capital expenditures related to acquired businesses and the initiation of new information systems projects to support our business strategies. 27

Acquisitions
Some of our prior years' acquisitions included contingent payments based on certain conditions and future performance. As ofJuly 3, 2022 , we had estimated contingent consideration with a fair value of approximately$6.8 million (based on Level 3 inputs), of which$3.8 million is reported in current liabilities, Other accrued expenses line, and$3.0 million is reported in non-current liabilities, Other liabilities line, within the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. These contingent consideration payments will be made over the next 4 years, subject to satisfaction of the relevant conditions and future performance.
