Analyst · Maxim Group. Please go ahead. Your line is open
Thank you, Steve. And welcome everyone to our second quarter earnings call. We are very excited to share a strong Q2 results with you today. Hopefully, you've all had a chance to read our Shareholder Letter, which is available on our Investor Relations site. We decided to issue a Shareholder Letter prior to our call to give you all the information you need and to ensure you have time to digest it prior to the call, so we can focus more time on answering all of your questions. We exceeded our prior unit sales guidance, achieved rapid revenue growth, improved unit economics, and demonstrated operating leverage across the business. We are proud of our strong second quarter results and the growth trajectory of the Company. Let me start, RumbleON’s mission was to change the way people buy and sell pre-owned recreational vehicle. RumbleON was founded on the concept that consumers were tired of the core experience in buying and selling recreational vehicles and would prefer to buy and sell pre-owned vehicles through a well designed simple online solution with a broad selection of vehicles at extremely competitive prices. We recognized that there was a huge opportunity to disrupt the current supply chain solutions for consumers to gain liquidity as over two-thirds of all transactions were being completed through the inefficient peer-to-peer private party resale market. The markets appetite for such a solution has been extremely encouraging and we are quickly scaling our online model for the acquisition and distribution of vehicles in a meaningful way. Our strong second quarter results and our forecasted growth trajectory are clear evidence of that. We made measurable progress towards our four key objectives in the first half of the year. To reiterate those, our objectives are; the revenue and vehicle unit sales, increased total profit margin per vehicle, achieve operating leverage, and strengthen our capital structure. In Q2, we sold 2,013 total units, a 129% increase over Q1. Total revenue increase of 72% and a total gross profit increase of 126%. We believe unit sales as an important measure of the strength of our business and our results clearly demonstrate the correlation between growth and unit sales and gross profit. These sequential improvements were driven by a 105% surge in demand for cash offers. Cash offers is a low cost vehicle acquisition channel that we believe is an important driver of our business and we are seeing incredible momentum. In fact, we have provided more than 50,000 cash offers as we started in June of 2017. In Q2 alone, we processed over 29,000 cash offers, almost 2.5 times the 12,000 cash offers made during Q1, and we expect to more than double that again in Q3. Another important driver of gross profit is days of sale, which we improved to 28 days in the second quarter, which is unheard of in vehicle distribution. We are quickly becoming the largest reseller of motorcycles and other powersports vehicles in the country, across both consumer and dealer channels, thanks primarily to our cash offer tool, which creates liquidity in a market that has been lacking. To cash offers we are able to optimize our inventory to meet demand and believe that our inventory mixing and competitive pricing will drive acceleration in our consumer channel, an incredible growth engine that represents a massive market opportunity as we progress. During Q2, we strengthened our partner network and now serve 11 different geographic locations strategically place to capture markets with the highest density of both population and motorcycle ownership. Our partner network accomplishes our goal of developing and operate the only through 100% online capital and infrastructure light, vehicle acquisition and distribution marketplace available today. We have no retail locations, no recommissioning centers, no vending machines, nor the people in fixed cost associated with them. In short, no one at RumbleON physically sees or touches any of our inventory either at the time of purchase or the time in between. In Q2, we continue to invest heavily in cost effective marketing, particularly in digital, social and search marketing campaigns to further ensure consumer and dealer loyalty that RumbleON by driving high participation in the buying and selling process increasing referrals and attracting new customers. Our agnostic multi-channel approach to consumers and dealers utilizes brand building and direct response channels to effectively source and scale our addressable markets. This approach has allowed us to become a national brand presence within the industry in less than a year. We participate in an industry dominated by very engaged and passionate users. We are creating sticky relationships with current and future customers through Facebook and other social media outlets, which are our largest and most cost effective lead generation tool for buying and selling. We surpassed 100,000 Facebook followers in the second quarter, which is incredible testament to our ability to quickly and effectively drive the brand recognition. We believe that we have an immense opportunity in front of us. In alignment with our goal to completely disrupt the way consumers buy and sell vehicles today, we have a whole pipeline of product enhancements and expansion initiative that we plan to launch in the second half of 2018, well ahead of our original plan. Our comprehensive roadmap will position RumbleON for long-term success and tremendous scale. Some of the initiatives we have developed and are developing will launch in the second half of 2018, or number one, RumbleON website and application enhancement. In August, we'll release a new version of the RumbleOn website and our mobile app that includes significant improvements to both the consumer experience and backend functionality. Specifically, we have refined our proprietary cash offer and pricing algorithm optimized our database and technology stack to a more modern lightning fast and scalable platform and develops a more user friendly mobile first design that provides a robust customer experience across all devices. Who is RumbleON Dealer Direct? We will also launch RumbleON’s Dealer Direct tool in the third quarter. Dealer Direct was created to make powersport vehicles available to dealers in an online platform daily instead of monthly. The RumbleOn Dealer Direct platform allows dealers to use our web or mobile applications to view, bid and buy inventory when and where they want, not just on auction day. Our software accommodates all mobile platforms, allows dealers to search certain organize their favorite vehicle features both buy it now and live auction functionality and includes a multitude of real time notifications focused on alternating buyers when they are out bid or have purchased a vehicle. And most excited is RumbleON classifieds.com, which is launching in Q4, and it is the consumer only lifting site that allows vehicle owners who do not accept the RumbleOn cash offer to alternatively list their vehicle efficiently in the peer-to-peer extension of our marketplace. By making it a consumer only site, RumbleON will be able to provide a level of transparency and data never offered to customers before including additional services that help in completing a transaction, such as financing, trades, value information, shipping and pricing guidance. We intend to build the absolute best and largest customer only listing side available today that is modern easy-to-use and most importantly technology driven. This platform will enable us to continue to monetize and disrupt the tremendous peer-to-peer market in a very short period of time. During summary we have a unique and compelling business model that is – that able best to carve out a niche in a highly fragmented recreational vehicle marketplace. Our game changing 100% online marketplace is delivering impressive growth and we are committed to executing on our business plan as we drive further expansion. Our exceptional management team clearly believes there is an even bigger opportunity to dominate the market than our already high original expectations contemplated. We intend to move very quickly to disrupt and dominate the market in a very compelling way. Now, I’d like to turn it back over to Steve for some brief remarks.
