Balance Sheet, Liquidity and Cash Flow
The Company ended the quarter with $51.8 million in total cash, inclusive of restricted cash, and $184.9 million of non-vehicle net debt. Availability under the Company’s powersports short-term revolving floor plan lines of credit totaled approximately $131.1 million as of September 30, 2025. Total Available Liquidity, defined as total cash plus availability under floorplan credit facilities, was $182.9 million as of September 30, 2025. Cash inflows from operating activities were $15.5 million for the first nine months of 2025, compared to $68.6 million for the same period in 2024. Last year’s cash flow from operations was driven by the reduction of excess inventory and benefited from the proceeds from the sale of the Company’s loans receivable portfolio.
On August 10, 2025, the Company entered into an agreement with its lenders to extend the maturity date of its term debt credit agreement to September 30, 2027, at a 50-basis point reduction in interest, with revised financial covenants and other requirements. In connection with this amendment and extension, the Company paid down $20.0 million in principal on the term debt, funded from proceeds of $10.0 million in subordinated notes with certain related parties and existing cash balances. Following the paydown of the principal balance, cash payments for other interest expense are expected to be $3.4 million lower on an annualized basis for the duration of the term debt credit agreement.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA
We define EBITDA as net loss adjusted to add back interest expense, the impact of income taxes, depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA further adds back non-cash stock-based compensation, management transition costs, certain litigation expenses not associated with our ongoing operations, and other non-recurring costs and credits, as these recoveries, charges and expenses are not considered a part of our core business operations and are not necessarily an indicator of ongoing, future company performance. Adjusted EBITDA is reduced by floor plan interest expense. Our industry typically treats interest expense on vehicle floor plan debt as operating expense, as vehicle floor plan debt is integral to our operations and is collateralized by our powersports vehicles.
Adjusted EBITDA is one of the primary metrics we use to evaluate the financial performance of our business. We present Adjusted EBITDA because we believe it is helpful in highlighting trends in our operating results and it is frequently used by analysts, investors and other interested parties to evaluate companies in our industry.
A reconciliation of net loss to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA is provided below:

Free Cash Flow
We define Free Cash Flow as cash flows from operating activities less capital expenditures of property and equipment (not including acquisitions). We view free cash flow when assessing the Company’s sources of liquidity and capital resources. We believe that free cash flow is helpful in understanding the Company’s capital requirements and provides an additional means to reflect the cash flow trends in the Company’s business. We believe Free Cash Flow is useful to investors because it represents the cash that our operating businesses generate, before taking into account non-operational cash movements. Free Cash Flow has certain limitations in that it does not represent the total increase or decrease in the cash balance for the period, nor does it represent the residual cash flow for discretionary expenditures. Therefore, we think it is important to evaluate Free Cash Flow along with our consolidated statement of cash flows.
A reconciliation of cash flows from operating activities to Free Cash Flow is provided below:

Non-Vehicle Net Debt
We define Non-Vehicle Net Debt as total principal of long-term debt, including current maturities, less unrestricted cash. Our restricted cash is principally related to vehicle floor plan debt and is therefore not part of this calculation. Vehicle floor plan debt and finance lease obligations are not included in this measure. We believe that Non-Vehicle Net Debt is useful to investors and analysts as a measure of our financial position. We use Non-Vehicle Net Debt to monitor and compare our financial position from period to period.

Adjusted SG&A
We define Adjusted SG&A as SG&A adjusted to deduct transaction costs, certain litigation expenses not associated with our ongoing operations, management transition costs and other non-recurring costs, as these charges and expenses are not considered a part of our core business operations and are not necessarily an indicator of the ongoing run rate of our SG&A. We use Adjusted SG&A to measure our progress toward achieving our goals. Adjusted SG&A is a non-GAAP financial measure and should not be used as a replacement for SG&A reported in compliance with GAAP. Adjusted SG&A has certain limitations in that it does not represent the total SG&A for the period. Therefore, we believe it is important to evaluate Adjusted SG&A along with SG&A and our consolidated statements of operations.
