<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>       Shares of Carvana Co. were bouncing back in after-hours trading Wednesday after the used-car retailer admitted that both industry-wide and company-specific issues impacted its business in the first quarter but said that it had plans to address its challenges.  <\/p>\n<p> Carvana<br \/>\n        CVNA,<br \/>\n        <bg-quote field=\"percentchange\" format=\"0,000.00%\" channel=\"\/zigman2\/quotes\/206651606\/composite\" class=\"negative\">-9.11%<\/bg-quote><br \/>\n       noted in its letter to shareholders that the omicron variant and used-car prices were among factors impacting the broader industry in the quarter, while the company also dealt with some issues of its own around \u201creconditioning and logistics network disruptions.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"paywall\">\n       \u201cWe <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/general\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"3\" title=\"General\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">general<\/a>ly prepare for sales volume 6-12 months in advance, meaning we built capacity in most of our business functions for significantly more volume than we fulfilled in Q1,\u201d the company said in its letter. \u201cWith our costs relatively fixed in the short term, the lower retail unit volume led to higher cost of goods sold per unit.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Carvana is trying to work past its challenges, Chief Executive Ernie Garcia III said on the company\u2019s earnings call. The company\u2019s \u201clogistics team has clear plans in several key areas\u201d to bring its metrics back up to where they were and then \u201cmove significantly beyond them,\u201d he told investors. Additionally, Carvana intends to build its selection of more affordable vehicles. <\/p>\n<p>Shares were down as much as 25.7% earlier in after-hours trading Wednesday, according to Dow Jones Market Data, but they clawed back and were recently up 1.6% in the aftermarket. They declined about 9% in Wednesday\u2019s regular session.<\/p>\n<p>Carvana posted a net loss of $506 million in the latest quarter, compared with a loss of $82 million a year earlier. It reported a net loss of $260 million attributable to the company, whereas it generated a $36 million loss on the same metric a year before. <\/p>\n<p>Carvana lost $2.89 a share in the quarter, compared with 46 cents a year prior. The FactSet consensus was for a $1.58 loss per share. <\/p>\n<p>Revenue rose to $3.5 billion from $2.2 billion, while analysts tracked by FactSet were modeling $3.4 billion. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhile we faced a uniquely difficult environment in the first quarter, we are already seeing positive trends across our key metrics,\u201d the company said in its shareholder letter. <\/p>\n<p>Still, due to \u201ccurrent industry trends impacting customer affordability, high used-vehicle prices, rapid movements in interest rates, rapid increases in fuel prices and other macroeconomic uncertainty impacting the used vehicle market,\u201d Carvana said that it would not be providing \u201cspecific numeric near-term guidance\u201d for the balance of 2022. <\/p>\n<div id=\"cx-membership-tile\"><\/div>\n<p>Carvana was blunt in its shareholder letter, admitting that the quarter was \u201cchallenging\u201d but noting that the company also sees an \u201copportunity\u201d to improve the business in part due to \u201cweaknesses\u201d uncovered amid the current environment. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhile the quarter was undoubtedly a step backwards in our financial results, we will work hard to make it the marker of an even larger step forward in achieving our goal of becoming the largest and most profitable automotive retailer,\u201d the letter said. <\/p>\n<p>Separately, the company announced that it intends to offer $1 billion of a new <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/watch-movies-tv-seriess\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"8\" title=\"Watch Movies &amp; TV Series\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">series<\/a> of perpetual preferred stock, as well as $1 billion of Class A common stock. Ernest Garcia II and Chief Executive Ernie Garcia III, along with entities controlled by them, have shown interest in buying up to $432 million in aggregate of the Class A common stock, the company said in a release. <\/p><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"byline article__byline\">\n<p>    <span>By<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"author mobile-scrim hasMenu\" data-scrim='{\"type\":\"author\",\"header\":\"Emily Bary\",\"subhead\":\"The Wall Street Journal\",\"list\":[{\"type\":\"link\",\"icon\":\"bio\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/marketwatch.com\/author\/emily-bary\",\"text\":\"Biography\"},{\"type\":\"link\",\"icon\":\"twitter\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/emilybary\",\"text\":\"@emilybary\"},{\"type\":\"link\",\"icon\":\"email\",\"url\":\"http:\/\/www.marketwatch.com\/news\/mailto:ebary@marketwatch.com\",\"text\":\"ebary@marketwatch.com\"}]}' itemscope itemprop=\"author\" itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/Person\">\n              <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/marketwatch.com\/author\/emily-bary\" aria-label=\"Emily Bary author page\"><\/p>\n<h4 itemprop=\"name\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Emily_Bary\"><\/span>Emily Bary<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><\/a><ufc-follow-author-widget product=\"marketwatch\" author-id=\"213_MW\" author-name=\"Emily Bary\" signin-url=\"https:\/\/accounts.marketwatch.com\/login?target=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.marketwatch.com%2Fstory%2Fcarvana-stock-tumbles-as-uniquely-difficult-environment-hits-earnings-11650488179%3Frss%3D1%26siteid%3Drss\" panda-api=\"https:\/\/follow-api.marketwatch.com\"><\/ufc-follow-author-widget><\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
