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 in Westchester,
IL, we have two operating and reportable segments: United States and
International. We maintain operations in the United States, which make up the
United States segment and operations in Canada and the United 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.

Three Months Ended July 3, 2022 versus June 27, 2021

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 the SYNETIQ acquisition, and a higher volume of
vehicles sold, which increased by 23% primarily due to higher miles driven in
Canada. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in revenue per unit
of 1% mainly due to a change in mix of vehicles sold.

Six Months Ended July 3, 2022 versus June 27, 2021

United States service revenues increased by $86.1 million due to an increase in

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 of July 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 ended January 2, 2022 filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the "SEC") on February 28, 2022.

Debt Service Obligations



On April 30, 2021, we entered into a credit agreement with JPMorgan 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 on April 30,
2026. As of July 3, 2022, $641.9 million was outstanding under the Term Loan and
no borrowings were outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility. As of
July 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 at July 3, 2022.

On June 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 on June 15 and
December 15 of each year at a rate of 5.500% per annum. The Notes will mature on
June 15, 2027. We were in compliance with the covenants in the indenture
governing the Notes at July 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 ended July 3, 2022 and June 27, 2021
were $75.1 million and $57.8 million, respectively. Our capital expenditures
during the six months ended July 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.

Acquisitions



Some of our prior years' acquisitions included contingent payments based on
certain conditions and future performance. As of July 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.
