The reasons the company gives
The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.Continued strength in auction prices, stabilization of the procurement base through expanded customer touchpoints and stronger sales capabilities, recovery in wholesale unit sales, sustained high levels of vehicle revenue per unit and average gross profit per vehicle, and improved retail profitability through enhancements to inventory management and sales processes. The fourth-quarter forecast incorporates uncertainty in the external environment and investments aimed at future growth.
