Did ACVA Beat Earnings? Q2 2025 Results

ACV Auctions posted a mixed second quarter for 2025, delivering 20.6% revenue growth to $193.70 million while falling short of Wall Street's expectations on both top and bottom lines. The company reported a GAAP loss per share of $0.04, a significant miss against the $0.07 consensus estimate, as revenue also came in $2.27 million below forecasts. The most material drag was a softening dealer wholesale market in the back half of the quarter, with weakening retail demand and elevated trade retention rates at dealerships weighing on volumes despite 210,429 units transacted and $2.70 billion in marketplace GMV. Profitability momentum was nonetheless real, with Adjusted EBITDA more than doubling to $18.58 million from $7.08 million a year ago and the GAAP net loss narrowing sharply to $7.30 million. The company recently expanded its No Reserve Sale to four days a week, signaling continued investment in dealer engagement. Looking ahead, ACV trimmed its full-year revenue guidance to $765 million to $775 million, citing macroeconomic crosscurrents, while keeping Adjusted EBITDA guidance steady, a trend worth watching alongside broader <a href="https://247wallst.com/investing/2025/07/30/live-will-carvanas-nyse-cvna-q2-earnings-continue-its-epic-rally/">used vehicle marketplace results</a> this earnings season.

ACV Auctions CEO, on the earnings call

Forward Guidance & Outlook

ACV lowered its full-year 2025 revenue guidance to $765 million to $775 million (20-22% YoY growth) to reflect ongoing macroeconomic crosscurrents, while maintaining the midpoint of Adjusted EBITDA guidance at $68 million to $72 million. For Q3 2025, the company expects revenue of $198 million to $203 million (16-18% YoY growth), GAAP net loss of ($13) million to ($11) million, and Adjusted EBITDA of $18 million to $20 million. The guidance assumes the dealer wholesale market will be flat to modestly down year-over-year in 2025, with conversion rates and wholesale price depreciation following normal seasonal patterns. Non-GAAP operating expenses (excluding cost of revenue) are expected to increase approximately 11% year-over-year.
