Online used car auction platform ACV Auctions (NASDAQ:ACVA) met Wall Street's revenue expectations in Q1 CY2025, with sales up 25.4% year on year to $182.7 million. The company expects next quarter's revenue to be around $195.5 million, close to analysts' estimates. Its non-GAAP profit of $0.04 per share was $0.02 above analysts' consensus estimates. Is now the time to buy ACVA? Find out in our full research report (it's free). Revenue: $182.7 million vs analyst estimates of $182.3 million (25.4% year-on-year growth, in line) Adjusted EBITDA: $13.91 million vs analyst estimates of $10.5 million (7.6% margin, 32.4% beat) The company reconfirmed its revenue guidance for the full year of $775 million at the midpoint EBITDA guidance for the full year is $70 million at the midpoint, in line with analyst expectations Operating Margin: -7.9%, up from -15.5% in the same quarter last year Marketplace Units: 208,025, up 33,394 year on year Market Capitalization: $2.86 billion ACV Auctions' latest quarter was shaped by continued expansion of its dealer partner network, increased adoption of value-added solutions, and advancements in its technology platform. CEO George Chamoun emphasized that the company's dealer wholesale business captured greater market share despite a challenging market environment, while ACV Transport and Capital posted record results in both revenue and service adoption. Product enhancements, including AI-enabled pricing guidance and new marketplace features, contributed to higher engagement and transaction volumes. Management also cited growing interest in data services such as ClearCar and ACV MAX, which are beginning to displace incumbent providers and support broader platform adoption. These factors, alongside disciplined expense management, underpinned the company's margin improvements in the quarter. Looking ahead, ACV Auctions' full-year guidance remains anchored by investments in its commercial platform, AI-driven product roadmap, and ongoing expansion of its service offerings. Management believes these initiatives will support adjusted EBITDA growth and margin expansion even as the broader wholesale vehicle market faces flat conditions. CFO Bill Zerella noted that operating expense growth will focus on scaling remarketing centers and commercial capabilities, while maintaining a disciplined approach to costs. CEO George Chamoun highlighted the early-stage rollout of several AI-powered products, including Project Viper and advanced pricing tools, with expectations that these innovations will further differentiate ACV's marketplace and create new growth levers. Management remains focused on executing its profitable growth strategy while navigating macroeconomic uncertainties such as tariffs and supply constraints. Management attributed Q1 performance to market share gains, expansion of value-added services, and the rollout of new AI-driven capabilities across its marketplace platform. Dealer network expansion: ACV continued to grow its dealer partner base, leveraging a differentiated marketplace experience and expanding product offerings to attract both independent and franchise dealerships. AI-powered product enhancements: The company rolled out advanced AI features, including condition-based pricing guidance and real-time recommendations for buyers and sellers, aimed at improving conversion rates and customer experience. Record marketplace services performance: ACV Transport and Capital achieved all-time highs in revenue and adoption, with ACV Capital reporting over 30% revenue growth and improved risk management metrics, including lower bad debt expense. Data services momentum: The ClearCar and ACV MAX product lines saw strong demand, with ClearCar's real-time appraisals and ACV MAX's predictive pricing tools gaining traction among large dealer groups seeking to replace older inventory management systems. Early-stage commercial platform development: ACV advanced its commercial remarketing capabilities, including integration with service providers and progress toward launching its first greenfield remarketing center in the second half of the year, laying the groundwork for future supply channel diversification. Management expects future performance to depend on successful execution of its AI-driven product roadmap, expansion in commercial channels, and continued cost discipline amid a flat wholesale vehicle market. AI and product innovation: The company is investing in advanced AI technologies, such as machine learning and large language models, to power tools like Project Viper and predictive pricing. These innovations are expected to enhance dealer productivity, increase engagement, and create competitive advantages as they scale through 2025. Commercial platform investments: ACV is prioritizing the development and rollout of its commercial remarketing platform, with pilot programs and new integrations set to launch in the second half of the year. Management believes this will open new avenues for supply and drive additional revenue growth. Expense management and margin expansion: While operating expenses are planned to rise to support growth initiatives, management reiterated its expectation that revenue growth will outpace non-GAAP operating expense growth (excluding cost of revenue and depreciation/amortization), supporting non-GAAP EBITDA margin improvement even if market volumes remain flat. In the coming quarters, the StockStory team will be watching (1) the pace of adoption and results from the Project Viper beta and other AI-driven product rollouts; (2) progress on commercial platform integration and the opening of new remarketing centers; and (3) the impact of expense management initiatives on adjusted EBITDA margins as the company invests in growth. Additional supply channel diversification and sustained dealer network growth will also be key indicators of long-term execution. ACV Auctions currently trades at a forward EV/EBITDA ratio of 31.2×.
