Management Commentary

Marshall Chesrown, RumbleOn’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer commented, “In the first quarter, we experienced normal seasonality, delivering revenue and unit sales in line with our expectations. We achieved this in the face of unprecedented industry-wide new vehicle inventory rebalancing over the course of the Q4 and Q1 of this year, not to mention significant atypical seasonal weather disruptions. These factors have not altered our Five Pillar plan to profitably grow our Company. They have slowed us down a bit, but we proactively managed through these difficult headwinds and are back on plan in March and April.”

“In 2023, we will continue to implement the Five Pillars of our strategy: self-funding, reduction and refinancing of debt, technology, continuing to improve the customer experience, and increasing market share through organic growth and M&A. We are intently focused on striking the right balance between prudent investment in our business and expense control, given the current economic environment. We will see the effects of these SG&A reductions flow through the remainder of the year and are confident in the outlook we previously provided,” concluded Chesrown.

Adjusted EBITDA was $10.7 million, compared to $18.7 million. The sequential decrease in adjusted EBITDA of (42.5)% was driven by modest gross margin compression in the Powersports Segment, and lower gross profit contribution from the Automotive Segment.

First Quarter 2023 — Segment Results

Unless otherwise noted, all comparisons are on a sequential basis for the three months ended March 31, 2023, as compared to the three months ended December 31, 2022.

Powersports Segment

Used Powersports Units, which includes used retail and wholesale Powersports Units, declined (1.9)% sequentially. Sequential declines are primarily the result of our decision to slow down used vehicle acquisitions while new inventory normalized.

Used Powersports Revenue declined (1.2)% sequentially due to intentional slowing of used inventory acquisition and anticipated seasonality.

Used Powersports Gross Profit declined (18.3)% sequentially due primarily to modest mix shift towards wholesale in the quarter, as well as input cost inflation.

New Powersports Revenue increased 4.4% sequentially, despite a (1.9)% reduction in unit sales, driven by increased supply of new inventory and favorable price mix in consumer demand.

New Powersports Gross Profit declined (6.3)% sequentially due primarily to higher inventory acquisition costs.

Powersports GPU was $5,349, a decrease of (1.3)% sequentially.¹

Vehicle Logistics Segment

Revenue from the Vehicle Logistics Segment increased 30.4% sequentially, driven by an increase in the number of vehicles transported and slight increase in revenue per vehicle transported to $631.0 in the first quarter.

Gross profit for this segment was up sequentially, driven by a 29.3% increase in the number of vehicles transported.

Automotive Segment

Revenue from the Automotive Segment declined (86.8)% sequentially, primarily driven by the Company’s strategic decision to purchase and sell fewer automotive units, as this business continues to wind down.

Gross Profit was down due to a decrease in unit sales and high wholesale costs.

Cautionary Note on Forward-Looking Statements

This press release may contain “forward-looking statements” as that term is defined under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (PSLRA), which statements may be identified by words such as “expects,” “projects,” “will,” “may,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “should,” “intends,” “estimates,” and other words of similar meaning. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which are based on our expectations as of the date of this press release and speak only as of the date of this press release and are advised to consider the factors listed under the heading “Forward-Looking Statements” and “Risk Factors” in the Company’s SEC filings, as may be updated and amended from time to time. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

As required by the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), we provide reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures contained in this press release to the most directly comparable measure under GAAP, which are set forth in the financial tables attached to this release.

Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, Adjusted net income (loss), and Adjusted net income (loss) margin are non-GAAP financial measures and should not be considered as alternatives to operating income or net income as a measure of operating performance or cash flows or as a measure of liquidity. Non-GAAP financial measures are not necessarily calculated the same way by different companies and should not be considered a substitute for or superior to U.S. GAAP.

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) adjusted to add back interest expense, depreciation and amortization, changes in derivative liability, non-cash stock-based compensation costs, transaction costs, litigation expenses, and other non-recurring costs, 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 one of the primary metrics used by management to evaluate the financial performance of our business. We present adjusted EBITDA because we believe it is frequently used by analysts, investors and other interested parties to evaluate companies in our industry. Further, we believe it is helpful in highlighting trends in our operating results, because it excludes, among other things, certain results of decisions that are outside the control of management, while other measures can differ significantly depending on long-term strategic decisions regarding capital structure and capital investments.

Adjusted net income (loss) is defined as net income (loss) adjusted to add back transaction costs, purchase accounting adjustments and other non-recurring costs which include items not indicative of our ongoing operating performance.

With respect to our 2023 adjusted EBITDA target, a reconciliation of this non-GAAP measure to the corresponding GAAP measure is not available without unreasonable effort due to the complexity of the reconciling items that we exclude from this non-GAAP measure.

For the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 and the three months ended December 31, 2022, adjustments to Adjusted EBITDA are primarily comprised of:

• Change in derivative and warrant liabilities,

• Expenses attributable to a discontinued project in Fort Worth, Texas,

• Gain on the sale of a dealership,

• Charges for impairment of goodwill and franchise rights,

• Loss associated with the fair value of the RumbleOn Finance loan receivables portfolio, which are anticipated to be sold during the second quarter of 2023,

• Other non-recurring costs, which include one-time expenses incurred. For the three months ended March 31, 2023, the balance was comprised of integration costs and professional fees associated with the RideNow and Freedom Transactions, and a death benefit to the estate of the Company’s former Chief Financial Officer and director. For the three months ended December 31, 2022 and March 31, 2022, the balances were comprised of integration costs and professional fees associated with the RideNow and Freedom Transactions, technology implementation, legal matters, establishment of the RumbleOn Finance secured loan facility, and a death benefit to the estate of the Company’s former Chief Financial Officer and director, and
