SHIFT TECHNOLOGIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

1. DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS

Shift Technologies, Inc., which, together with its subsidiaries we refer to as Shift, we, us, our, SFT, or the Company, conducts its business through its wholly owned subsidiaries. Shift Platform, Inc., formerly known as Shift Technologies, Inc. (“Legacy Shift”) was incorporated in the State of Delaware on December 9, 2013.

Shift Technologies, Inc. is a consumer-centric omnichannel retailer leveraging its end-to-end ecommerce platform and retail locations to provide a technology-driven, hassle-free customer experience.

The Company currently is organized into two reportable segments: Retail and Wholesale. The Retail segment represents retail sales of used vehicles through the Company’s ecommerce platform and fees earned on sales of value-added products associated with those vehicles sales such as vehicle service contracts, guaranteed asset protection waiver coverage, prepaid maintenance plans, and appearance protection plans. The Wholesale segment represents sales of used vehicles through wholesale auctions or directly to a wholesaler (“DTW”).

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

Our unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. In the opinion of management, the interim condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, which are normal and recurring in nature, necessary for fair financial statement presentation.

The interim condensed consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the interim condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, condensed consolidated statements of stockholders' equity for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, and condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, and amounts relating to the interim periods included in the accompanying notes to the interim condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited. The unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the audited consolidated financial statements contained in the Company's most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, and in management’s opinion, reflect all adjustments, which are normal and recurring in nature, necessary for the fair financial statement presentation of the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2023, and its results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 and cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022. The results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the fiscal year or any other periods. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related notes for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on March 31, 2023.

At the Company’s Special Meeting of Stockholders held on December 7, 2022, the Company’s stockholders approved a proposal to authorize a reverse stock split of the Company’s Class A common stock, at a ratio within the range of 1-for-5 to 1-for-10. The Board approved a 1-for-10 reverse split ratio, and on March 7, 2023, the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment to its Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Charter Amendment”) to effect the reverse split effective March 8, 2023. All share and per-share amounts have been retrospectively adjusted to reflect the impact of the reverse stock split.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates its estimates and assumptions, including those related to the valuation of vehicle inventory, capitalized website and internal-use software development costs, fair value of Class A common stock, financial instruments, convertible debt, stock-based compensation and income taxes.

SHIFT TECHNOLOGIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

Management bases its estimates on historical experience and various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ materially from those estimates.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable are primarily due from auction facilities and partner financial institutions that provide financing to our customers.

The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts that is calculated under the current expected credit loss (“CECL”) model. The CECL model applies to financial assets measured at amortized cost, and requires the Company to reflect expected credit losses over the remaining contractual term of the asset. As the large majority of the Company’s receivables settle within 30 days, the forecast period under the CECL model is a relatively short horizon. The Company uses an aging method to estimate allowances for doubtful accounts under the CECL model as the Company has determined that the aging method adequately reflects expected credit losses, as corroborated by historical loss rates.

Marketable Securities

The Company acquired equity and debt security investments as a result of the CarLotz Merger on December 9, 2022. Equity and debt securities are classified as Level 1 and Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy, respectively. Substantially all of the debt and equity securities were sold between December 31, 2022 and June 30, 2023 and $3 thousand was reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive loss for net losses on marketable securities.

Discontinued Operations

We review the presentation of planned business dispositions in the condensed consolidated financial statements based on the available information and events that have occurred. The review consists of evaluating whether the business meets the definition of a component for which the operations and cash flows are clearly distinguishable from the other components of the business, and if so, whether it is anticipated that after the disposal the cash flows of the component would be eliminated from continuing operations and whether the disposition represents a strategic shift that has a major effect on operations and financial results. In addition, we evaluate whether the business has met the criteria as a business held for sale. In order for a planned disposition to be classified as a business held for sale, the established criteria must be met as of the reporting date, including an active program to market the business and the expected disposition of the business within one year.

Planned business dispositions are presented as discontinued operations when all the criteria described above are met. For those divestitures that qualify as discontinued operations, all comparative periods presented are reclassified in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Additionally, the results of operations of a discontinued operation are reclassified to income from discontinued operations, net of tax, for all periods presented in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. Results of discontinued operations include all revenues and expenses directly derived from such businesses; general corporate overhead is not allocated to discontinued operations.

Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.

The authoritative guidance on fair value measurements establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy for disclosure of fair value measurements as follows:

Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 — Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

7

SHIFT TECHNOLOGIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

Level 3 — Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires management to make judgments and consider factors specific to the asset or liability. The Company recognizes transfers between the levels as of the actual date of the event or change in circumstances that caused the transfer. There were no transfers between levels during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022. As of June 30, 2023, the Company had less than $0.1 million in assets and liabilities, respectively, measured at fair value.

Escrow Shares

In connection with the closing of the Company's merger with Insurance Acquisition Corp. on October 13, 2020, (the "IAC Merger"), 600,021 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock (the “Escrow Shares”) were deposited into an escrow account, with each former Legacy Shift stockholder listed as beneficiary in proportion to their percentage ownership of Legacy Shift common shares immediately prior to the IAC Merger. The Escrow Shares will be released to the beneficiaries if the following conditions are achieved following October 13, 2020, the date of the closing of the IAC Merger:

i.If at any time during the 12 months following the closing, the closing share price of the Company’s Class A common stock is greater than $120.00 over any 20 trading days within any 30 trading day period, 50% of the Escrow Shares will be released.

ii.If at any time during the 30 months following the closing, the closing share price of the Company’s Class A common stock is greater than $150.00 over any 20 trading days within any 30 trading day period, 50% of the Escrow Shares will be released.

iii.If, during the 30 months following the closing, there is a change of control (as defined in the IAC Merger Agreement) that will result in the holders of the Company’s Class A common stock receiving a per share price equal to or in excess of $100.00 per share (as equitably adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, special cash dividends, reorganizations, combinations, recapitalizations and similar transactions affecting the Class A common stock after the date of the IAC Merger), then all remaining Escrow Shares shall be released to the Legacy Shift stockholders effective as of immediately prior to the consummation of such change of control.

The Escrow Shares are legally outstanding and the beneficiaries retain all voting, dividend and distribution rights applicable to the Company’s Class A common stock while the shares are in escrow. If the conditions for the release of the Escrow Shares are not met, the shares and any dividends or distributions arising therefrom shall be returned to the Company. The Escrow Shares are not considered outstanding for accounting purposes, and as such are excluded from the calculation of basic net loss per share (see Note 17 - Net Loss Per Share).

The Escrow Shares meet the accounting definition of a derivative financial instrument. Prior to the cancellation of the first tranche on October 13, 2021, the number of Escrow Shares that would have ultimately been released was partially dependent on variables (namely, the occurrence of a change in control) that are not valuation inputs to a “fixed for fixed” option or forward contract, and therefore the Escrow Shares were not considered to be indexed to the Company’s Class A common stock and were therefore classified as a liability. The Company’s obligation to release the Escrow Shares upon achievement of the milestones was initially recorded to financial instruments liability on the condensed consolidated balance sheets at fair value as of the date of the IAC Merger. Subsequent changes in the fair value of the liability were recorded to change in fair value of financial instruments on the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

As of the first anniversary of the IAC Merger on October 13, 2021, the first tranche of 300,011 Escrow Shares had failed to satisfy the $120.00 stock performance hurdle. As a result, the shares were returned to the Company for cancellation.

SHIFT TECHNOLOGIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

Following the return of the first tranche of the Escrow Shares to the Company on October 13, 2021, the Escrow Shares met the "fixed for fixed" option or forward contract criteria for equity classification. As such, changes in fair value of the Escrow Shares through October 13, 2021 were recorded in change in fair value of financial instruments on the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. The fair value of the shares on October 13, 2021 of $6.3 million, measured using the Monte Carlo valuation model, was reclassified to additional paid-in capital on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

On April 13, 2023 the second tranche of 300,010 Escrow Shares failed to satisfy the applicable stock performance hurdle. As a result, the shares were returned to the Company and cancelled.

Liquidity and Management's Plan

For the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company generated negative cash flows from operations of approximately $64.3 million and $98.1 million, respectively, and generated net losses of approximately $73.9 million and $109.2 million, respectively. As of June 30, 2023, the Company had unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of $23.3 million and total working capital of $19.1 million. Since inception, the Company has had negative cash flows and losses from operations which it has funded primarily through issuances of common and preferred stock, sales of its 4.75% Convertible Senior Notes due 2026, and through a reverse recapitalization via the IAC Merger in October 2020. The Company has historically funded vehicle inventory purchases through its vehicle floorplan facilities (see Note 9 - Borrowings). The Company's current floorplan facility expires on December 9, 2023. We believe we will need to raise significant additional capital to meet the liquidity needs of the business.

The Company's plan is to raise capital to provide the liquidity necessary to satisfy its obligations over the next twelve months, and to secure a new or amended floorplan financing arrangement to provide continuity when the current floorplan expires. The Company may also pursue other strategic alternatives, including efforts to restructure or refinance its 4.75% Convertible Senior Notes due 2026 and 6.00% Senior Unsecured Notes due 2025 that have not been successful to date. The Company may also restructure its debt under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code and/or cease operations altogether. The Company continually assesses other opportunities to raise debt or equity capital. The Company's ability to raise capital may be constrained by the price of and demand for the Company's Class A common stock. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to raise sufficient additional capital or obtain financing that will provide it with sufficient liquidity to satisfy its obligations over the next twelve months.

The Company continues to focus its strategy on improving unit economics and reducing selling, general, and administrative expenses and seeks to achieve these goals by eliminating less profitable fulfillment channels, consolidating operations into fewer physical locations, and reducing headcount accordingly. Please see Note 15 - Impairment, Restructuring and Discontinued Operations for additional information.

In accordance with Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-15, Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40), the Company has evaluated whether there are conditions and events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the condensed consolidated financial statements are issued. Management determined as a result of this evaluation, the Company’s losses and negative cash flows from operations since inception, combined with its current cash, working capital position, and expiration of the current floorplan financing arrangement on December 9, 2023, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a basis that assumes the Company will continue as a going concern which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the ordinary course of business. Accordingly, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued guidance codified in Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2016-13, Financial instruments — Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments ("ASU 2016-13"), and subsequent related ASUs, which amends the guidance on the impairment of financial instruments by requiring measurement and recognition of expected credit losses for financial assets held. This ASU is effective for public and private companies’ fiscal years, and for interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019, and December 15, 2022, respectively. The Company adopted ASU 2016-13 under the private company transition guidance beginning January 1, 2023. The adoption did not materially impact the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements.

3. BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

Fair Dealer Services, LLC

On May 11, 2022, the Company completed the acquisition of certain automotive dealer marketplace assets and all of the issued and outstanding limited liability company interests of Fair Dealer Services, LLC (“Fair”), (collectively, the “Marketplace Assets”), from Fair Financial Corp., Fair IP, LLC (“Fair IP”), and (for limited purposes) Cayman Project 2 Limited (“SB LL Holdco”), pursuant to the terms of the Amended and Restated Purchase Agreement dated May 11, 2022. The Company purchased the Marketplace Assets in order to acquire software and other assets to enable the listing of inventory owned by third-party dealerships for sale on the Company’s ecommerce platform. The Company determined that the Marketplace Assets meet the definition of a business, and the purchase is properly accounted for as a business combination.

The Company incurred a total of $3.3 million of transaction related costs for the year ended December 31, 2022. There were $1.6 million and $3.2 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, which are included in selling, general and administrative expenses on the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

The consideration for the Marketplace Assets consisted of cash in the amount of $15.0 million (the “Cash Consideration”) and 206,698 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock (such shares being equal to 2.5% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s Class A common stock as of immediately prior to the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Amended and Restated Purchase Agreement) (the “Stock Consideration”). The shares were issued and valued as of May 11, 2022 at a per share market closing price of $10.20.

The Company financed the acquisition of the Marketplace Assets through the issuance of the Senior Unsecured Notes to SB LL Holdco (see Note 9 - Borrowings). The stated interest rate on the Senior Unsecured Notes was determined to be below the market rate of interest, effectively providing a discount on the purchase price of the Marketplace Assets. Therefore, the Company recognized an imputed discount of $2.1 million on the Senior Unsecured Notes based on an estimated market rate of interest of 10.5%, and a corresponding reduction to the consideration transferred for the purchase of the Marketplace Assets.

The following table presents an estimate of consideration transferred:

	(In thousands)
Cash consideration	$	15,000
Fair value of shares of Shift Class A common stock issued	2,481
Allocation of proceeds from Senior Unsecured Notes	(2,103)
Acquisition Consideration	$	15,378

The intangible assets acquired were recorded at their fair values as of the acquisition date. Management estimated the fair value of intangible assets in accordance with the applicable accounting guidance for business combinations and utilized the services of third-party valuation consultants.

	Estimated Fair Value
Capitalized website and internal use software costs	$	12,500
Other intangible assets - Trade name	100
Other intangible assets - Dealer network	100
Prepaid expenses and other current assets	154
Goodwill	2,524
Total fair value of purchase price	$	15,378

Identifiable Intangible Assets

The Company acquired intangible assets that consisted primarily of developed software, which had an estimated fair value of $12.5 million, and which is included in capitalized website and internal use software costs, net on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Company also acquired other intangible assets with a total estimated fair value of $0.2 million. The Cost to Recreate Method was used to value the acquired developed software asset. Management applied judgment in estimating the fair value of this intangible asset, which involved the use of significant assumptions such as the cost and time to build the acquired technology, developer’s profit and rate of return. The other intangible assets are included in other non-current assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Company began amortizing the intangible assets on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives of three years for the capitalized internal use software and trade name, and one year for the dealer network. During the fourth quarter of 2022, the Company fully impaired these assets.

Goodwill

The goodwill represents the excess of consideration transferred over the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed and is attributable to the benefits expected from combining the Company’s expertise with Fair’s technology, resource base, and ability to effectively integrate the Marketplace Assets with the Company's existing ecommerce platform. This goodwill is not deductible for income tax purposes.

CarLotz, Inc.

On December 9, 2022, the Company completed the acquisition of all of the issued and outstanding equity interests of CarLotz, Inc. (“CarLotz”), a Delaware corporation, pursuant to the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "CarLotz Merger") dated as of August 9, 2022 (the “Merger Agreement”). The CarLotz Merger increased the liquidity available to the combined entity by adding the cash resources of legacy CarLotz to the combined entity and obviating the need for legacy CarLotz to invest in technologies already developed by Shift. The Company determined that the CarLotz Merger is properly accounted for as a business combination.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company incurred zero and $0.2 million, respectively, of transaction related costs for a total of $16.4 million since the date of acquisition. These costs are included in selling, general and administrative expenses on the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

The following table presents an estimate of Merger Consideration transferred to effect the CarLotz Merger at Closing:

	(In thousands)
Fair value of shares of Shift Class A common stock issued to CarLotz stockholders	$	22,411
Replacement of CarLotz equity awards	562
Merger Consideration	$	22,973

The fair value of shares of Shift Class A common stock issued as Merger Consideration was based on approximately 8.6 million shares of Shift Class A common stock, including 0.1 million shares issued pursuant to accelerated vesting of certain CarLotz RSU Awards in connection with the CarLotz Merger, and the closing price of Shift Class A common stock of $2.62 per share on December 9, 2022.

Consideration transferred was allocated to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their fair values as of the acquisition date. Management estimated the fair value of tangible and intangible assets and liabilities in accordance with the applicable accounting guidance for business combinations and utilized the services of third-party valuation consultants. The initial allocation of the consideration transferred is based on a preliminary valuation and is subject to adjustments. Balances subject to adjustment primarily include the valuations of acquired assets (tangible and intangible), liabilities assumed, as well as tax-related matters. During the measurement period, the Company may record adjustments to the provisional amounts recognized. The allocation of the consideration transferred will be finalized within the measurement period (up to one year from the acquisition date).

Identifiable Intangible Assets

The fair value of the trademarks and developed technology intangible assets has been determined using the relief-from-royalty method, which involves the estimation of an amount of hypothetical royalty savings enjoyed by the entity that owns the intangible asset because that entity is relieved from having to license that intangible asset from another owner. In using this method, third-party arm’s-length royalty or license agreements were analyzed. The licensing transactions were selected as reflecting similar risks and characteristics that make them comparable to the subject assets. The net revenue expected to be generated by the intangible asset during its expected remaining life was then multiplied by the selected royalty rate. The selected estimated royalty rates for the trademarks and developed technology were 0.3% and 1.5%, respectively. The estimated after-tax royalty streams were then discounted to present value using a discount rate of 19.4%, to estimate the fair value of the subject intangible assets.

The trademarks are included in other non-current assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The developed technology is included in capitalized website and internal use software costs, net on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Company fully amortized the intangible assets on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives of three months, as the Company is decommissioning the acquired intangible assets in favor of equivalent legacy Shift assets.

Bargain Purchase

Any excess of fair value of acquired net assets over the purchase price (negative goodwill) has been recognized as a gain in the period the acquisition was completed. We have reassessed whether all acquired assets and assumed liabilities have been identified and recognized and performed remeasurements to verify that the consideration paid, assets acquired, and liabilities assumed have been properly valued. The remaining excess has been recognized as a gain in the consolidated statement of operations. Factors believed to contribute to the bargain purchase include i) the management turnover, restructuring, and other indicators of distress experienced by CarLotz prior to the CarLotz Merger, ii) successful cash conservation efforts by CarLotz during the period from the execution of the CarLotz Merger Agreement to the closing of the merger, and iii) a significant decline in the market price of the Company's Class A common stock during the period from the execution of the Merger Agreement to the closing of the merger, which reduced the fair market value of the stock paid as consideration for the merger.

Pro forma information (unaudited)

The unaudited pro forma results presented below include the effects of the CarLotz Merger as if it had been consummated as of January 1, 2021, with adjustments to give effect to pro forma events that are directly attributable to the acquisition. For the three months ended June 30, 2023, the pro forma adjustments include a reduction in stock-based compensation costs to reflect expected amortization of assumed equity awards and a reduction in amortization expense to reflect the revaluation of certain technology assets. For the six months ended June 30, 2022, the pro forma adjustments include a reduction in stock-based compensation expense to reflect expected amortization of assumed equity awards, non-recurring transaction costs, and a gain on bargain purchase.

Depreciation expense related to property and equipment was $0.7 million and $1.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Depreciation expense related to reconditioning facilities for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 was less than $0.1 million and $0.5 million, respectively. Depreciation expense related to reconditioning facilities for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 was $0.1 million and $0.8 million, respectively. Depreciation expense related to reconditioning facilities is included in cost of sales with the remainder included in depreciation and amortization in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

5. LEASES

The Company is a tenant under various operating and finance leases with third parties, including leases of office facilities, vehicle inspection, reconditioning locations, storage locations, and vehicle leases. The Company assesses whether each lease is an operating or finance lease at the lease commencement date.

The Company’s real estate leases often require it to make payments for maintenance in addition to rent as well as payments for real estate taxes, and insurance. Maintenance, real estate taxes, and insurance payments are generally variable costs which are based on actual expenses incurred by the lessor. Therefore, these amounts are generally not included in the consideration of the contract when determining the right-of-use asset and lease liability, but are reflected as variable lease expenses in the period incurred.

Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets and expense for these leases are recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

As the rate implicit in the lease is generally not readily determinable for the Company’s operating leases, the discount rates used to determine the present value of the Company’s lease liabilities are based on the Company’s incremental borrowing rate at the lease commencement date and commensurate with the remaining lease term. The incremental borrowing rate for a lease is the rate of interest the Company would have to pay to borrow on a collateralized basis over a similar term for an amount equal to the lease payments in a similar economic environment. The Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments.

The Company recognized a loss on impairment of operating lease right of use assets of $1.3 million and $2.1 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively. There was no loss on impairment of operating lease right of use assets for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022.

As of December 31, 2022, the Company guaranteed the lease obligation of two of its closed locations assigned to a third-party that operates a used vehicle dealership. The Company continues as guarantor of such lease obligations with maximum total payments of $4,538 and will continue as the guarantor of one of the leases through March 2031 and the other lease through September 2031. The Company would be required to perform under the guarantee if the third-party is in default. As of June 30, 2023, the Company does not anticipate any material defaults under the forgoing leases, and therefore, no liability has been accrued.

7. GOODWILL

On May 11, 2022 the Company acquired the Marketplace Assets for consideration totaling $15.4 million (see Note 3 - Business Combinations). The purchase price was allocated to tangible assets of $0.2 million and intangible assets of $12.7 million based on their fair values on the acquisition date. Goodwill represents the excess purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired. The excess of the purchase price over the amounts allocated to assets acquired was recorded to Goodwill, in the amount of $2.5 million, which was included in the retail segment.

Goodwill is not amortized but is tested at least annually or more frequently when events or circumstances change that would, more likely than not, reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount. The Company first assesses qualitative factors to determine if it is not more likely than not that the fair value of its reporting unit is less than its carrying amount.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, there were no impairments or other changes in the carrying amount of goodwill. During the fourth fiscal quarter of 2022, management determined that indicators of impairment existed and performed a goodwill impairment test resulting in an impairment charge of $0.5 million. Management engaged third party valuation consultants to determine the fair value of the Retail segment (which also meets the definition of a reporting unit for goodwill impairment purposes). The fair value was determined using a market approach based on comparison to peer company valuation multiples.

8. ACCRUED EXPENSES AND OTHER CURRENT LIABILITIES

Accrued expenses and other current liabilities consist of the following (in thousands):

	As of June 30, 2023		As of December 31, 2022

Total accrued expenses and other current liabilities	$	16,526	$	33,872

In November 2019, the Company entered into an arrangement with an original equipment manufacturer (“OEM”) to sell vehicles sourced locally through the trade-in program of the OEM on the Company’s platform. Under the terms of the arrangement, the Company has the option to provisionally accept any trade-ins based on information provided by the OEM. The Company transports any accepted vehicles to one of its inspection, reconditioning and storage centers where Shift inspects the vehicle and makes a final purchasing decision regarding the vehicle. Any rejected vehicles are sent to wholesale auction facilities at Shift’s expense, at which point Shift has no further obligations to the automaker for the rejected vehicle. The Company records inventory received under the arrangement with the OEM equal to the amount of the liability due to the OEM to acquire such vehicles. The liability due to the OEM provider for such acquired vehicles is equal to the OEM’s original acquisition price. The final price paid to the OEM upon sale of the vehicle includes an additional amount equal to 50% of the excess of the sales price over the original acquisition price.

As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, we classified zero and $0.1 million of accrued expenses associated with a long-lived asset disposal group as held-for-sale. See Note 15 - Impairment, Restructuring and Discontinued Operations for further information.

9. BORROWINGS

Senior Unsecured Notes

On May 11, 2022, in connection with the Fair acquisition (see Note 3 - Business Combinations), the Company entered into a Note Purchase Agreement (the “Note Purchase Agreement”) by and between the Company, each of the Company’s subsidiaries party thereto as guarantors (each, a “Guarantor” and, collectively, the “Guarantors”), and SB LL Holdco, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“SB LL Holdco”). Pursuant to the Note Purchase Agreement and the terms and conditions set forth therein, the Company agreed to issue and sell, and SB LL Holdco agreed to purchase, 6.00% Senior Unsecured Notes due May 11, 2025 with a principal amount of $20.0 million (the “Senior Unsecured Notes”) in a private placement in reliance on an exemption from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).

The Senior Unsecured Notes bear interest at a rate of 6.00% per annum and will mature on May 11, 2025. The Company may, at its option, prepay the Senior Unsecured Notes in their entirety (i) if prior to November 11, 2024, at 100% of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to (but excluding) such date and a premium specified therein, or (ii) if on or after November 11, 2024, at 100% of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to (but excluding) such date. The Senior Unsecured Notes are senior unsecured indebtedness of the Company.

As of June 30, 2023, discounts and deferred borrowing costs related to the Senior Unsecured Notes totaled $1.6 million and $0.1 million, respectively, and are included as a reduction to long-term debt, net on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. For the three months ended June 30, 2023, the Company had $0.3 million of contractual interest expense and $0.2 million of discount and deferred borrowing cost amortization with both recorded to interest and other expense, net on the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company had $0.2 million of contractual interest expense and $0.1 million of discount and deferred borrowing cost amortization. For the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company had $0.6 million of contractual interest expense and $0.4 million of discount and deferred borrowing cost amortization.

The estimated fair value of the Senior Unsecured Notes (Level 3) as of June 30, 2023 was $4.4 million.

Convertible Notes

On May 27, 2021, the Company completed a private offering of its 4.75% Convertible Senior Notes due 2026 (the “Notes”). The aggregate principal amount of the Notes sold in the offering was $150.0 million. The Notes are the Company’s senior unsecured obligations and will rank equally in right of payment with the Company’s future senior unsecured indebtedness, senior in right of payment to the Company’s future indebtedness that is expressly subordinated to the Notes and effectively subordinated to the Company’s future secured indebtedness, to the extent of the value of the collateral securing that indebtedness.

The Notes accrue interest payable semi-annually in arrears at a rate of 4.75% per year. The Notes will mature on May 15, 2026, unless earlier converted, redeemed or repurchased by the Company.

The Notes are convertible into shares of the Company’s Class A common stock at an initial conversion rate of 11.8654 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock per $1,000 principal amount of Notes (which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $84.28 per share of the Company’s Class A common stock). The initial conversion price represents a premium of approximately 27.47% over the last reported sale price of the Company’s Class A common stock on May 24, 2021, which was $66.10 per share. The conversion rate will be subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events prior to the maturity date. The Company will increase the conversion rate on a sliding scale to up to a maximum of 15.1284 per $1,000 principal amount for a holder who elects to convert its notes in connection with certain corporate events or the Company’s delivery of a notice of redemption, as the case may be, in certain circumstances.

21

SHIFT TECHNOLOGIES INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

Noteholders may convert their Notes at their option only in the following circumstances:

1.during any calendar quarter commencing after the calendar quarter ending on June 30, 2021, if the last reported sale price per share of our Class A common stock exceeds 130% of the conversion price for each of at least 20 trading days during the 30 consecutive trading days ending on, and including, the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter;

2.during the 5 consecutive business days immediately after any 10 consecutive trading day period (such 10 consecutive trading day period, the “measurement period”) in which the trading price per $1,000 principal amount of Notes for each trading day of the measurement period was less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price per share of our Class A common stock on such trading day and the conversion rate on such trading day;

3.upon the occurrence of certain corporate events or distributions on our Class A common stock;

4.if we call such Notes for redemption; and

5.at any time from, and including, November 15, 2025 until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately before the maturity date.

Conversions of the Notes will be settled in cash, shares of the Company's Class A common stock or a combination thereof, at the Company's election.

The Notes will be redeemable, in whole or in part (subject to a partial redemption limitation), at the Company’s option at any time, and from time to time, on or after May 20, 2024 and on or before the 40th scheduled trading day immediately before the maturity date, at a cash redemption price equal to the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date, but only if (i) the last reported sale price per share of the Company’s Class A common stock exceeds 130% of the conversion price on (1) each of at least 20 trading days, whether or not consecutive, during the 30 consecutive trading days ending on, and including, the trading day immediately before the date the Company sends the related redemption notice; and (2) the trading day immediately before the date the Company sends such notice; and (ii) a registration statement covering the resale of the shares of the Company’s Class A common stock, if any, issuable upon conversion of the Notes in connection with such optional redemption is effective and available for use and is expected, as of the date the redemption notice is sent, to remain effective and available during the period from, and including the date the redemption notice is sent to, and including, the business day immediately before the related redemption date, unless the Company elects cash settlement in respect of the conversions in connection with such optional redemption.

In addition, calling any Note for redemption will constitute a make-whole fundamental change with respect to that Note, in which case the conversion rate applicable to the conversion of that Note will be increased in certain circumstances if it is converted after it is called for redemption and on or prior to the business day immediately before the related redemption date. If the Company elects to redeem less than all of the outstanding Notes, at least $50.0 million aggregate principal amount of Notes must be outstanding and not subject to redemption as of the date the Company sends the related redemption notice.

Unamortized deferred borrowing costs at June 30, 2023 were $3.9 million, and are included as a reduction to long-term debt, net on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. For the three months ended June 30, 2023, the Company recorded $1.8 million of contractual interest expense and $0.3 million of deferred borrowing cost amortization, respectively. For the three months ended June 30, 2022, the Company recorded $1.8 million of contractual interest expense and $0.3 million of deferred borrowing cost amortization, respectively.

For the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company recorded $3.6 million of contractual interest expense and $0.6 million, respectively, of deferred borrowing cost amortization. For the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company recorded $3.6 million of contractual interest expense and $0.6 million, respectively, of deferred borrowing cost amortization. Contractual interest expense and deferred borrowing cost amortization was recorded to interest and other expense, net on the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. The effective interest rate of the Notes is 5.73%.

The estimated fair value of the Notes (Level 2) at June 30, 2023 was $16.5 million.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

The Company used a portion of the net proceeds from the sale of the notes to pay the cost of the Capped Call Transactions (see Note 11 - Stockholders' Deficit), and is using the remaining proceeds for working capital and general corporate purposes.

On May 16, 2023, the Company announced that it would utilize the contractual 30-day grace period with respect to the interest payment due on May 15, 2023 on the Notes. The Company and its advisors began communications with debt holders to explore restructuring options and on June 13, 2023, the Company made the interest payment due on the Notes within the grace period, in the amount of approximately $3.6 million.

On May 31, 2023, the Company entered into confidentiality agreements ("NDAs") and commenced discussions with legal advisors for a group of holders of the Company’s Notes and Senior Unsecured Notes (collectively, the "Holders") regarding a potential restructuring or refinancing and related transactions (collectively, the “Transaction”). On July 24, 2023, the NDAs terminated without the Company and the Holders reaching an agreement on the material terms of the proposed Transaction. The Company continues to evaluate alternatives to optimize its capital structure and other alternatives to maximize value.

Ally Flooring Line of Credit

On December 9, 2021, the Company entered into a $100.0 million flooring line of credit facility with Ally Bank to finance its used vehicle inventory (the “Ally FLOC”), which is secured by substantially all of the Company’s assets. Borrowings under the Ally FLOC bear interest at the Prime Rate (as defined in the agreement) plus 1.50%.

Under the Ally FLOC, repayment of amounts drawn for the purchase of a vehicle should generally be made as soon as practicable after selling or otherwise disposing of the vehicles. Outstanding balances related to vehicles held in inventory for more than 180 days require monthly principal payments equal to 10% of the original principal amount of that vehicle until the remaining outstanding balance is 50% (or less) of the original principal balance. Prepayments may be made without incurring a premium or penalty. Additionally, the Company is permitted to make prepayments to the lender to be held as principal payments and subsequently reborrow such amounts.

The Ally FLOC requires the Company to maintain unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of not less than 20% of the total credit line, and to maintain an additional restricted cash balance equal to 10% of the total credit line. Additionally, the Ally FLOC requires the company to maintain at least 10% equity in the Company’s total inventory balance. As of June 30, 2023, the Company was in compliance with all covenants related to the Ally FLOC.

Additionally, the Company is required to pay an availability fee each calendar quarter if the average outstanding balance for such quarter is less than 50% of the average total credit line for such quarter. The Company was required to pay an upfront commitment fee upon execution of the Ally FLOC.

Effective as of February 7, 2023 (the “Effective Date”), the Company amended the Ally FLOC to (i) join the CarLotz Borrowers as borrowers under the Ally FLOC and terminate the inventory financing arrangement between the CarLotz Borrowers and the Ally Parties that was entered into prior to the Company’s acquisition of CarLotz, (ii) reduce the maximum available credit line under the Ally FLOC from $100 million to $75 million and (iii) require the Borrowers to make monthly principal reduction payments for each vehicle subject to the floor plan for more than 150 days rather than 180 days. In addition, effective February 1, 2023, the First Amendment increases the per annum interest rate applicable to Advances (as defined in the Ally Facility) to be equal to the prime rate designated from time to time by Ally Bank plus 175 basis points (from 150 basis points).

As of June 30, 2023, the interest rate on borrowings outstanding under the Ally FLOC was 10.00%. As of June 30, 2023, the Company had an outstanding balance under the facility of $14.4 million and $60.6 million of unused capacity. As of December 31, 2022, the Company had an outstanding balance under the facility of $24.8 million and $75.2 million in unused capacity.

10. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Litigation

The Company may be subject to legal proceedings and claims that arise in the ordinary course of business. Other than the matters discussed below, Management is not currently aware of any matters that will have a material effect on the financial position, results of operations, or cash flows of the Company.

Stifel matter

On May 7, 2021, we were named in a lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York (Stifel, Nicolaus & Company, Inc. v. Shift Technologies, Inc. 21-cv-04135) by a former financial advisor, Stifel, Nicolaus & Company, Inc. (“Stifel”), claiming that we are required to pay the former financial advisor certain compensation as a result of the IAC Merger. In addition, the complaint seeks punitive damages as a result of alleged unjust enrichment for the amount of the benefits allegedly conferred on Shift by Stifel. On August 24, 2022, Stifel's suit was dismissed with prejudice. On September 16, 2022, Stifel filed a Notice of Appeal with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit and formally filed its appeal with the Second Circuit on January 20, 2023. Shift filed its responsive pleading on April 20, 2023. Following the dismissal of Stifel's initial suit, the probable incurred losses related to the claim are immaterial as of June 30, 2023. Based on such information as is available to us, the range of additional reasonably possible losses related to the claim does not exceed $4.0 million, excluding any punitive damages which the Company cannot currently estimate. The Company believes the claim is without merit and intends to defend itself vigorously; however, there can be no assurances that the Company will be successful in its defense.

CarLotz stockholder matters

On November 4, 2022, a lawsuit entitled Derek Dorrien v. CarLotz, Inc. et al., Case No. 1:22-cv-09463, was filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York against CarLotz and the members of the CarLotz board of directors (the “Dorrien Action”). On November 4, 2022, a lawsuit entitled Sholom D. Keller v. CarLotz, Inc. et al., Case No. 2022-1006-NAC, was filed in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware against CarLotz and the members of the CarLotz board of directors (the “Keller Action” and together with the Dorrien Action, the “Actions”). The Dorrien Action alleges that the defendants violated Sections 14(a) (and Rule 14a-9 promulgated thereunder) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act by, among other things, omitting certain allegedly material information with respect to the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement (the “Transactions”) in the registration statement on Form S-4 (the “Registration Statement”) filed by us with the Securities and Exchange Commission on September 26, 2022. The Keller Action alleges that the members of the CarLotz board of directors and Lev Peker, in his capacity as an officer of CarLotz, breached their fiduciary duties in connection with the Transactions. The Actions seek, among other things, injunctive relief, money damages and the costs of the Actions, including reasonable attorneys’ and experts’ fees. We believe that the plaintiffs’ allegations in the Actions are without merit; however, litigation is inherently uncertain and there can be no assurance that CarLotz’s or our defense of the action will be successful.

In addition, on October 3, 2022, a purported stockholder of CarLotz sent a demand to CarLotz and us regarding the Registration Statement (the “CarLotz Stockholder Demand”). The CarLotz Stockholder Demand alleges the Registration Statement omits material information with respect to the Transactions and demands that CarLotz, the CarLotz board of directors, and Shift provide corrective disclosures. Shift disagrees with and intends to vigorously defend against any claim, if asserted, arising from the CarLotz Stockholder Demand.

Delaware Section 205 Petition

On March 6, 2023, Shift filed a petition in the Delaware Court of Chancery under Section 205 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”) to resolve potential uncertainty with respect to the Company’s share capital. Such uncertainty was introduced by a recent decision in Garfield v. Boxed, Inc., 2022 WL 17959766 (Del. Ch. Dec. 27, 2022) that potentially affects the Company and many other similarly situated companies that were formed and became publicly traded as a special purpose acquisition company (“SPAC”). Out of an abundance of caution, the Company elected to pursue the remedial actions described below. Concurrently with the filing of the Petition, the Company filed a motion to expedite the hearing on the Petition, which was subsequently granted on March 6, 2023.

SHIFT TECHNOLOGIES INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

In October 2020, the Company, which was then a SPAC named Insurance Acquisition Corp. (“IAC”), held a special meeting of stockholders (the “IAC Special Meeting”) to approve certain matters relating to the merger between IAC and a privately held company then called Shift Technologies, Inc. One of these matters was a proposal to amend and restate IAC’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “SPAC Charter”) in order to, among other things, increase the number of authorized shares of Class A common stock from 50,000,000 to 500,000,000 (such proposal, the “Share Increase Proposal” and, together with such other amendments to the SPAC Charter, the “Charter Proposals”). At the IAC Special Meeting, the Charter Proposals were approved by a majority of the outstanding shares of Class A common stock and a majority of the outstanding shares of Class B common stock of IAC as of the record date for the IAC Special Meeting, voting together as a single class. After the IAC Special Meeting, IAC and Shift Technologies, Inc. closed the merger pursuant to which the Company became the parent of Shift Technologies, Inc. (now named Shift Platform, Inc.), and the Company’s certificate of incorporation, as amended to give effect to the Charter Proposals and to change the Company’s name to Shift Technologies, Inc., became effective.

The recent ruling by the Delaware Court of Chancery in the Boxed case introduced uncertainty as to whether Section 242(b)(2) of the DGCL would have required the Share Increase Proposal to be approved by the vote of the majority of IAC’s then-outstanding shares of Class A common stock, voting as a separate class. The Company had been operating with the understanding that the Charter Proposals were validly approved at the IAC Special Meeting. In light of this recent ruling, however, to resolve potential uncertainty with respect to the Company’s share capital, the Company filed a petition in the Delaware Court of Chancery under Section 205 of the DGCL to seek validation of the Charter Proposals. Section 205 of the DGCL permits the Court of Chancery, in its discretion, to ratify and validate potentially defective corporate acts.

On March 6, 2023, the Court of Chancery granted the motion to expedite and set a hearing date for the Petition to be heard. On March 17, 2023, the hearing took place and the Court of Chancery approved the Company’s request for relief. The Court of Chancery then entered an order under Section 205 of the DGCL on March 17, 2023, declaring (i) the increase in aggregate number of authorized shares of Class A common stock, par value $0.0001, of the Company from 50,000,000 to 500,000,000 under the Company’s Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Certificate of Incorporation”) and the Certificate of Incorporation, including the filing and effectiveness thereof, are validated and declared effective retroactive to the date of its filing with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on October 13, 2020 and (2) all shares of capital stock of the Company issued in reliance on the effectiveness of the Certificate of Incorporation are validated and declared effective as of the date and time of the original issuance of such shares.

11. STOCKHOLDERS' DEFICIT

Nasdaq Market Capitalization Deficiency Letter

On April 19, 2023, Nasdaq staff (the "Staff") notified the Company that, for the last 30 consecutive business days, the Company’s Market Value of Listed Securities ("MVLS") was below the minimum of $35 million required for continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(2) (the “Market Value Standard”). The Company has a period of 180 calendar days from the date of the notice, or until October 16, 2023 (the “Compliance Date”), to regain compliance with the Market Value Standard. During this period, Class A common stock will continue to trade on the Nasdaq Capital Market. If at any time before the Compliance Date the Company’s MVLS closes at or above $35 million for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days as required under the Market Value Standard, the Staff will notify the Company it has regained compliance and the matter will be closed. If the Company does not regain compliance with the Market Value Standard by the Compliance Date, the Staff will provide a written notification to the Company that Class A common stock will be subject to delisting. At that time, the Company may appeal the Staff’s delisting determination to a Hearings Panel (the “Panel”). However, there can be no assurance that, if the Company receives a delisting notice and appeals the delisting determination by the Staff to the Panel, such appeal would be successful. The Company intends to monitor its MVLS between now and the Compliance Date, and may, if appropriate, evaluate available options to resolve the deficiency under the Market Value Standard and regain compliance with the Market Value Standard.

Nasdaq Deficiency Letter and Reverse Stock Split

On October 4, 2022, the Company received a deficiency letter from the Listing Qualifications Department (the “Staff”) of The Nasdaq Capital Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) notifying us that, for the last 30 consecutive business days, the bid price for our Class A common stock had closed below the $1.00 per share minimum bid price requirement for continued inclusion on the Nasdaq Global Market pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(a)(1) (the "Bid Price Requirement"). Under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A) (the "Compliance Period Rule"), we have a 180-calendar day grace period, or until April 3, 2023 (the “Compliance Date”), to regain compliance with the Bid Price Requirement. During this period, our Class A common stock will continue to trade on the Nasdaq Capital Market. If at any time before the Compliance Date the bid price of Class A common stock closes at or above $1.00 per share for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days as required under the Compliance Period Rule, the Staff will provide written notification to the Company that it has regained compliance with the Bid Price Requirement (unless the Staff exercises its discretion to extend this 10 business day period pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(H)).

At the Company’s Special Meeting of Stockholders held on December 7, 2022, the Company’s stockholders approved a proposal to authorize a reverse stock split of the Company’s common stock, at a ratio within the range of 1-for-5 to 1-for-10. The Board approved a 1-for-10 reverse split ratio, and on March 7, 2023, the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment to its Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Charter Amendment”) to effect the reverse split effective March 8, 2023. On March 22, 2023, the Company was notified by Nasdaq that the Company has regained compliance with the Bid Price Requirement.

Capped Call Transactions

On May 27, 2021, in connection with the issuance of the Notes (see Note 9 - Borrowings), the Company consummated privately negotiated capped call transactions (the “Capped Call Transactions”) with certain of the initial purchasers, their respective affiliates and other counterparties (the "Capped Call Counterparties"). The Capped Call Transactions initially cover, subject to anti-dilution adjustments substantially similar to those applicable to the Notes, the number of the Company’s Class A common shares underlying the Notes. The Capped Call Transactions are expected generally to reduce the potential dilution to holders of the Company’s Class A common stock upon conversion of the Notes and/or offset the potential cash payments that the Company could be required to make in excess of the principal amount of any converted Notes upon conversion thereof, with such reduction and/or offset subject to a cap. The Capped Call Transactions are settled from time to time upon the conversion of the Notes, with a final expiration date of May 15, 2026. The Capped Call Transactions are settled in the same proportion of cash and stock as the converted Notes. The proportion of cash and stock used to settle the Notes is at the discretion of the Company.

The cap price of the Capped Call Transactions was initially approximately $148.725 per share, which represents a premium of approximately 125% above the last reported sale price per share of Class A common stock on Nasdaq on May 24, 2021, and is subject to certain adjustments under the terms of the Capped Call Transactions.

The Capped Call Transactions are separate transactions entered into by the Company with the Capped Call Counterparties, are not part of the terms of the Notes and will not change any holder’s rights under the Notes. Holders of the Notes will not have any rights with respect to the Capped Call Transactions.

The Company used approximately $28.4 million of the net proceeds from the offering of the Notes to pay the cost of the Capped Call Transactions. The Capped Call Transactions do not meet the criteria for separate accounting as a derivative as they are indexed to the Company's stock. The premiums paid for the Capped Call Transactions have been included as a net reduction to additional paid-in capital on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

The settlement amount of the Capped Call Transactions at June 30, 2023 was zero. The settlement amount shall be greater than zero if the volume weighted average price ("VWAP") of the Company's Class A common stock is above $84.30 at any time over the 40 consecutive trading days immediately prior to settlement.

At-the-Market Offering

On May 6, 2022, the Company entered into a Controlled Equity OfferingSM Sales Agreement (the “Sales Agreement”), with Cantor Fitzgerald & Co. (the “Agent”), pursuant to which the Company may offer and sell, at its option, shares of the Company’s Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, having an aggregate offering price of up to $150.0 million (the “Placement Shares”), through the Agent, as its sales agent, from time to time at prevailing market prices in an “at-the-market offering” within the meaning of Rule 415 of the Securities Act, including sales made to the public directly on or through The Nasdaq Capital Market and any other trading market for shares of our Class A common stock (the “Offering”). Due to the Company's change at December 31, 2022 to a non-accelerated filer, the amount that can be raised through an offering is limited by Nasdaq requirements.

Under the Sales Agreement, the Company may from time to time deliver placement notices to the Agent designating the number of Placement Shares and the minimum price per share thereof to be offered. However, subject to the terms and conditions of the Sales Agreement, the Agent is not required to sell any specific number or dollar amount of Placement Shares but will act as Agent using their commercially reasonable efforts consistent with their normal trading and sales practices and applicable state and federal laws, rules and regulations and the rules of The Nasdaq Stock Market. The Company or the Agent may suspend the offering of Placement Shares by notifying the other party. The Offering will terminate after the sale of all of the Placement Shares subject to the Sales Agreement, or sooner in accordance with the Sales Agreement, upon proper notice by us and/or the Agents or by mutual agreement. The Company will pay the Agent a commission of up to 3.0% of the gross sales price of the shares of the Placement Shares sold under the Sales Agreement.

As of June 30, 2023, the Company had not sold any shares pursuant to the Sales Agreement. The Company's ability to raise capital under the ATM is currently constrained by restrictions on the Company's use of shelf registration statements. The Company cancelled the ATM facility on July 20, 2023.

CarLotz Warrants

As part of the CarLotz Merger, the Company assumed 718,342 public and 428,385 private warrants to purchase the Company's common stock at an exercise price of $163.06 related to CarLotz's prior merger with Acamar Partners.

Additionally, former CarLotz equity holders at the closing of CarLotz's previous merger are entitled to receive up to an additional 489,841 earnout shares. The earnout period expires on January 21, 2026 (the "Forfeiture Date") and the earnout shares will be issued if any of the following conditions are achieved:

i.If at any time prior to the Forfeiture Date, the closing trading price of the common stock is greater than $177.24 over any 20 trading days within any 30 trading day period (the “First Threshold”), the Company will issue 50% of the earnout shares.

ii.If at any time prior to the Forfeiture Date, the closing trading price of the common stock is greater than $212.69 over any 20 trading days within any 30 trading day period (the “Second Threshold”), the Company will issue 50% of the earnout shares.

iii.If either the First Threshold or the Second Threshold is not met on or before the Forfeiture Date, any unissued earnout shares are forfeited. All unissued earnout shares will be issued if there is a change of control of the Company that will result in the holders of the common stock receiving a per share price equal to or in excess of $141.80 (as equitably adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, special cash dividends, reorganizations, combinations, recapitalizations and similar transactions affecting the common stock) prior to the Forfeiture Date.

The liabilities associated with the warrants and earnout shares were immaterial as of June 30, 2023. There was not a material change in the fair value of the liabilities between the Merger Date and June 30, 2023.

12. SEGMENT INFORMATION

The Company currently is organized into two reportable segments: Retail and Wholesale. The Retail segment represents retail sales of used vehicles through the Company’s ecommerce platform and fees earned on sales of value-added products associated with those vehicles sales such as vehicle service contracts, guaranteed asset protection waiver coverage, prepaid maintenance plans, and appearance protection plans. The Wholesale segment represents sales of used vehicles through wholesale auctions or directly to a wholesaler (“DTW”).

No operating segments have been aggregated to form the reportable segments. The Company determined its operating segments based on how the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) reviews the Company’s operating results in assessing performance and allocating resources. The CODM is the Chief Executive Officer. The CODM reviews revenue and gross profit for each of the reportable segments. Gross profit is defined as revenue less cost of sales incurred by the segment. The CODM does not evaluate operating segments using asset information as these are managed on an enterprise-wide group basis. Accordingly, the Company does not report segment asset information. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company did not have sales to customers outside the United States. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company did not have any assets located outside of the United States.

13. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION PLANS

The Company’s 2014 Stock Option Plan (the “2014 Plan”) provides for the grant of restricted stock awards and incentive and non-qualified options and to purchase Class A common stock to officers, employees, directors, and consultants. Options granted to employees and non-employees generally vest ratably over four to five years, with a maximum contractual term of ten years. Outstanding awards under the 2014 Plan continue to be subject to the terms and conditions of the 2014 Plan. The number of shares authorized for issuance under the 2014 Plan was reduced to the number of shares subject to awards outstanding under the 2014 Plan immediately after the IAC Merger. As a result, no further awards will be made under the 2014 Plan. Shares reserved for awards that are subsequently expired or forfeited will no longer be returned to the pool of shares authorized for issuance under the 2014 Plan.

At the Company's special meeting of stockholders held on October 13, 2020, the stockholders approved the 2020 Omnibus Equity Compensation Plan (the "2020 Plan"). The 2020 Plan provides for the grant of incentive and non-qualified stock option, restricted stock units ("RSUs"), restricted share awards, stock appreciation awards, and cash-based awards to employees, directors, and consultants of the Company. Awards under the 2020 Plan expire no more than ten years from the date of grant. The 2020 Plan became effective immediately upon the closing of the IAC Merger.

In December 2022, the Company assumed various stock plans in connection with the CarLotz Merger (the "CarLotz Plans"). Outstanding awards under the CarLotz Plans continue to be subject to the terms and conditions of the CarLotz Plans. The number of shares authorized for issuance under the CarLotz Plans was reduced to the number of shares subject to awards outstanding under the CarLotz Plans immediately after the CarLotz Merger.

On June 30, 2022, the Company issued 1,900,000 RSUs pursuant to an inducement award under NASDAQ Listing Rule 5365(c)(4).

Activity related to employee and non-employee stock options for all plans is set forth below:

	Number of Shares	Weighted Average Exercise Price		Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Life (Years)	Aggregate Intrinsic Value (000’s)

Unvested RSUs also include 760,000 Performance RSUs that vest if the closing price of the Company's common stock exceeds thresholds ranging from $2.00 to $9.25 during the 30 months following the grantee's date of hire. The grant date fair values of awards with market-based vesting conditions were determined using a Monte Carlo valuation model, which requires significant estimates including the expected volatility of our common stock.

Stock-Based Compensation Expense

For the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company recorded stock-based compensation expense to selling, general and administrative expenses on the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss of $1.3 million and $4.9 million, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company recorded stock-based compensation expense of $2.6 million and $9.1 million, respectively.

The Company capitalized stock-based compensation costs for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 of $0.1 million and $0.3 million, respectively, to capitalized website and internal use software costs, net. In addition, the Company capitalized stock-based compensation costs for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 of $0.3 million and $0.7 million, respectively, to capitalized website and internal use software costs, net.

As of June 30, 2023, there was $10.7 million of unrecognized stock-based compensation expense that is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.36 years.

14. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Sales to Related Parties

The Company operated a one-sided marketplace (“OSM”) program whereby the Company acquired cars from various sources in Oxnard, California and sold them directly and solely to Lithia. The Company invoiced Lithia based on the purchase price of the car plus an agreed upon margin. During the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company recognized zero and $4.7 million in sales from the OSM agreement with Lithia, respectively. The OSM program was terminated in the second quarter of 2022 with the last sale to Lithia taking place in March 2022.

Accounts Receivable from Related Party

In September 2018, the Company entered into a warrant agreement (the “Warrant Agreement”) and a commercial agreement for Milestone 1 with Lithia and granted Lithia a warrant to purchase 8,666,154 shares of Legacy Shift common stock at an exercise price of $0.10 per share (the “Warrant Shares”). The Warrant Shares were scheduled to vest and become exercisable in six separate tranches of 1,444,359 shares each. Vesting and exercisability was dependent upon the achievement of the Milestones, as defined below. While the Warrant Agreement establishes general vesting terms for each of the six Milestones, each of the six Milestones contains substantive service or performance requirements, and were non-binding as neither the Company nor Lithia were obligated to perform until the commercial agreement associated with each Milestone was executed. All Warrant Shares became vested prior to the Vesting Termination Date and were exercised prior to the IAC Merger.

In connection with the negotiations related to Milestone 5, Lithia facilitated an agreement with Automotive Warranty Services (“AWS”) to sell and market AWS’s service plans, whereby the Company receives commission rates from AWS of comparable terms to those received by Lithia. In substance the Company paid Lithia, in the form of Warrant Shares, to make an upfront payment to Company’s customers on behalf of the Company as the Company achieved favorable pricing from AWS. The benefits of this agreement were guaranteed by Lithia for an initial term of five years commencing on the signing date of the agreement. Such arrangement was the first of a number of agreements to be entered into under the terms of Milestone 5 (see further discussion below). The estimated fair value of the in substance upfront payment to AWS was $2.8 million with an offsetting entry recorded to additional paid-in capital, representing a capital transaction with a related party.

Milestone 5 was met in October 2019 and the Company recorded the warrants to additional paid-in capital based on a fair value of $4.3 million. Milestone 5 was achieved after a mutual signed agreement was entered into evidencing that Lithia provided commercially best efforts to help the Company secure and maintain access to four finance and insurance products on par with a typical Lithia store. The fair value of the in substance upfront payment, other than the $2.8 million for AWS discussed above, was $0.4 million and was recorded to other non-current assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The combined asset recorded of $3.2 million is subject to amortization over a five-year period expected period of benefit. During the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 the Company amortized $0.1 million and $0.3 million, respectively of the asset as a reduction to finance and insurance sales, which is recorded within other revenue, net on the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the remaining asset, net of amortization, was zero and $0.6 million, respectively.

In February 2023, the contract obtained pursuant to Milestone 5 was terminated, and the remaining $0.5 million of the Milestone 5 asset was expensed to selling, general and administrative expenses on the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

Accounts Payable Due to Related Party

As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 payables and accruals to Lithia consisted of other miscellaneous expenses of $0.2 million and $0.2 million, respectively.

Short-Swing Profit Settlement

During the three months ended June 30, 2023, the Company received a settlement of $0.1 million from a shareholder related to short-swing trading profits disgorged pursuant to section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The settlement was recorded to additional paid-in capital on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

15. IMPAIRMENT, RESTRUCTURING AND DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

During the fourth fiscal quarter of 2022, management identified indicators of impairment, including declines in our market capitalization, rising interest rates, and other unfavorable macroeconomic and industry factors, and performed a test for recoverability for each of the Company's pre-CarLotz Merger asset groups. Assets acquired as part of the CarLotz Merger were recorded at fair value on the acquisition date (see Note 3 - Business Combinations). Asset groups consisted of one asset group containing all operating assets and liabilities of the Company (the "Operating Asset Group"), and separate assets groups each containing a single closed facility that is subleased or held for sublease (the "Sublease Asset Groups"). The Operating Asset Group and certain Sublease Asset Groups were determined not to be recoverable, and as such management determined the fair value of these asset groups. The Operating Asset Group was valued with the assistance of third-party valuation specialists using a market approach based on comparison to peer company valuation multiples. The Sublease Asset Groups were valued using the income approach based on discounted estimated cash flows from subleasing the properties.

The Operating Asset Group and one of the Sublease Asset Groups were determined to have carrying values in excess of their fair values. As such, the Company measured a loss on impairment equal to the difference between the carrying value and the fair value of each impaired asset group. The loss on impairment was allocated to the assets within each respective asset group, except that no individual asset was reduced below its individual fair value. Within the Operating Asset Group, the fair value of individual assets was determined with the assistance of third party valuation specialists. Right of use assets were valued using the market approach, based on comparison to similar leased properties. Capitalized internal use software was valued using the relief-from-royalty approach, which involves the estimation of an amount of hypothetical royalty savings enjoyed by the entity that owns an intangible asset because that entity is relieved from having to license that intangible asset from another owner. Property and equipment was valued using the cost approach based on secondary market values of similar assets. Within the impaired Sublease Asset Group, the fair value of the impaired right of use asset was determined using the income approach based on discounted estimated cash flows from subleasing the properties.

The Company recognized losses on impairment of long-lived assets related to various Sublease Asset Groups of $1.3 million and $2.3 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively. There was no loss on impairment of long lived assets for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022. All impaired asset groups were contained in the Retail segment.

Facility Closures and Reduction in Force

During the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company reduced its total headcount by approximately 42% as a result of continued efforts to improve overhead efficiency and elimination of redundancies resulting from the CarLotz Merger. During the six months ended June 30, 2023, the reduction in force resulted in total new cash charges of approximately $0.9 million, consisting primarily of severance and related personnel reduction costs included in selling, general and administrative expenses on the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. There were no such charges for the three months ended June 30, 2023. In addition, the Company closed its facility in Downers Grove, Illinois and the former CarLotz headquarters facility in Richmond, Virginia.

2022 Restructuring Plan

On July 22, 2022, the Company's Board approved the implementation of the 2022 Restructuring Plan designed to position the Company for long-term profitable growth by prioritizing unit economics, reducing operating expenses and maximizing liquidity. As part of the 2022 Restructuring Plan, the Company consolidated Shift’s physical operations to three West Coast locations in Los Angeles, Oakland, and Portland, closing seven existing facilities. The Company also restructured its workforce around the reduced physical footprint, eliminating approximately 650 positions or 60% of its workforce. The restructuring was substantially complete as of September 30, 2022. There were no restructuring charges related to the 2022 Restructuring Plan recognized for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022.

The following table is a reconciliation of the beginning and ending severance liability for the six months ended June 30, 2023 related to the 2022 Restructuring Plan:

Commutation of Reinsurance Contracts

During the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company commuted all reinsurance contracts issued by the Company's Orange Peel Protection Reinsurance, Ltd. subsidiary. The commutation resulted in transfer of the Company's reinsurance-related assets and liabilities to the counterparty, in exchange for net cash consideration of $0.2 million. In connection with the commutation, the Company recognized a loss on disposal of $0.1 million included in selling, general and administrative expenses on the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

Discontinued Operations

In connection with the acquisition of CarLotz, the Company acquired several real estate leaseholds. A plan of sale related to several of these real estate leases as well as certain assets and liabilities of the Orange Grove Fleet Solutions, LLC ("Orange Grove") subsidiary was adopted in December 2022. Orange Grove and three retail locations sold during the six months ended June 30, 2023 were determined to meet the criteria for classification as discontinued operations. The discontinued operations are included in the Retail and Wholesale segments. The impact on net loss of these leases and subsidiaries held for sale was immaterial for the year ended December 31, 2022.

Additional leasehold and related assets were classified as held for sale during the six months ended June 30, 2023. None of the assets and liabilities initially classified as held for sale during the six months ended June 30, 2023 met the criteria to be classified as discontinued operations. The Company recognized a net gain on disposal of $5.8 million and $2.7 million in connection with assets classified as held for sale or sold during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023. The gain on disposal was recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses on the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

On February 2, 2023, the Company entered into and closed on an Asset Purchase Agreement with a private dealership group, pursuant to which the counterparty agreed to purchase the inventory and the lease-related assets and liabilities of the three retail locations for net cash consideration of $1.5 million.

On June 30, 2023, the Company sold substantially all of the assets and liabilities of Orange Grove Fleet Solutions, LLC for cash consideration of $1.5 million.

18. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

The Company has evaluated subsequent events through the filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and determined that there have been no events that have occurred that would require adjustments to our disclosures in the condensed consolidated financial statements, except for the following:

Ally Flooring Line of Credit Amendment

On July 14, 2023, the Company entered into a Second Amendment to Inventory Financing and Security Agreement (the “Second Amendment”), by and among the Company, certain of the Company’s wholly owned subsidiaries (collectively, the “Borrowers” and each, a “Borrower”), Ally Bank (“Ally Bank”) and Ally Financial Inc. (“Ally Financial” and, together with Ally Bank, the “Lender”), which amends the Company’s existing Inventory Financing and Security Agreement dated as of December 9, 2021, as amended by the Amendment to Inventory Financing and Security Agreement dated as of February 7, 2023 (as so amended, the “Ally Facility”), by and among the Company, the Borrowers and the Lender.

The Second Amendment amends the Ally Facility to, among other things, (i) reduce the maximum available credit line (the “Credit Line”) under the Ally Facility from $75 million to $30 million, (ii) eliminate the option for a Borrower to obtain financing from the Lender for vehicles for which Dealership does not then hold a lien-free title, and (iii) eliminate the minimum liquidity financial covenant. The Second Amendment also, in conjunction with the Borrowers entering into an amended Credit Balance Agreement with the Lender, amends the Borrowers’ minimum cash balance requirement with the Lender to be an amount equal to the lesser of (i) at least 30% of the amount of the Credit Line and (ii) 100% of the total outstanding principal balance under the Ally Facility.

In order to ensure an orderly transition of responsibilities, Mr. Foy continued to be employed in a non-executive capacity with the Company through July 1, 2023 (the “Separation Date”). Mr. Foy also resigned from all director, officer or other positions that he held on behalf of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates on the Separation Date.

In connection with his separation from employment from the Company, the Company and Mr. Foy entered into a Separation and General Release Agreement (the “Agreement”) on August 3, 2023 that reflects the terms of his separation and the benefits he is eligible to receive.

In addition, the Agreement contains a general waiver and release of claims by Mr. Foy in favor of the Company. Mr. Foy will be subject to certain restrictive covenants following his termination of employment with the Company.

Mr. Arison served as a Class III director and a member of the Finance Committee of the Board. Ms. Smith Kenny served as a Class I director and a member of the Leadership Development, Compensation and Governance Committee of the Board. Each of Mr. Arison’s and Ms. Smith Kenny’s decision to resign from the Board was not the result of any disagreement relating to the Company’s operations, policies or practices. After giving effect to the foregoing director resignations of Mr. Arison and Ms. Smith Kenny from the Board, the Board consists of seven (7) directors and three (3) vacancies.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

In addition, following the effectiveness of Mr. Arison’s and Ms. Smith Kenny’s resignation from the Board, on August 7, 2023, the Board, by unanimous written consent, decreased the size of the Board to seven (7) directors, apportioned among the three classes as follows: two (2) in Class I, three (3) in Class II and two (2) in Class III, in accordance with and as permitted by the Company’s Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, thereby eliminating the vacancies on the Board resulting from the resignations of Mr. Arison and Ms. Smith Kenny from the Board.

2023 Restructuring Plan

On July 11, 2023, the Company announced a plan to restructure and reduce its workforce (the “2023 Restructuring Plan”), pursuant to which the Company will focus all resources on its omnichannel used auto operations and cease investment into the Company’s dealer marketplace business. The 2023 Restructuring Plan is part of the Company’s broader efforts to improve cost efficiency and better align its operating structure with its omnichannel sales operations as the Company continues to evaluate strategic alternatives to maximize stockholder value. The 2023 Restructuring Plan will result in an estimated workforce reduction of approximately 34%. The 2023 Restructuring Plan and associated workforce reduction were substantially completed by July 11, 2023. As a result of the 2023 Restructuring Plan and associated workforce reduction, we expect to incur approximately $0.9 million in non-recurring restructuring charges, consisting primarily of one-time cash severance payments and related costs.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

You should read the following management’s discussion and analysis together with our condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes included under Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and Part II, Item 8 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. This discussion contains forward-looking statements about Shift’s business, operations and industry that involve risks and uncertainties, such as statements regarding Shift’s plans, objectives, expectations and intentions. Shift’s future results and financial condition may differ materially from those currently anticipated by Shift as a result of the factors described in the sections entitled “Risk Factors” and “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.” Throughout this section, unless otherwise noted “we”, “us”, “our” and the “Company” refer to Shift and its consolidated subsidiaries.

Overview

Shift is a consumer-centric omnichannel retailer transforming the used car industry by leveraging its end-to-end ecommerce platform and retail locations to provide a technology-driven, hassle-free customer experience.

Launched in 2014, Shift started as a pure ecommerce seller and buyer of used cars, aimed at transforming the customer experience within the industry. Since inception, Shift has invested significantly into its technology platform to create an exceptional customer experience and to support and leverage the internal operations of the Company.

On October 13, 2020, Insurance Acquisition Corp. (“IAC”), an entity listed on The Nasdaq Capital Market under the trade symbol “INSU”, acquired Shift Platform, Inc., formerly known as Shift Technologies, Inc. (“Legacy Shift”), by the merger of IAC Merger Sub, Inc., a direct wholly owned subsidiary of IAC, with and into Legacy Shift, with Legacy Shift continuing as the surviving entity and a wholly owned subsidiary of IAC (the “IAC Merger”). The public company resulting from the merger was renamed Shift Technologies, Inc.

In August 2022, Shift announced both a strategic and operational restructuring and a merger with CarLotz (the "CarLotz Merger"), a consignment-to-retail used vehicle marketplace that operated a technology-enabled buying, sourcing, and selling model with an omnichannel experience. With the implementation of the restructuring and the close of the merger, Shift evolved into an omnichannel experience and established a plan to position the Company for long-term profitable growth by prioritizing unit economics, reducing operating expenses and maximizing liquidity.

The Company has three markets in California and Oregon, where customers can test drive vehicles and work with sales associates during any point of the sale process. Each market has Shift-managed reconditioning centers to prepare each vehicle for sale using a 150+ point inspection process. In-house reconditioning provides better control of timing and greater efficiency within our operations. In addition to performing the 150+ point inspection, we offer customers a seven-day, 200-mile return policy, to ensure consumer confidence in their purchase from Shift.

Recent Events

Leadership Changes

On June 9, 2023, the Board of Directors appointed Ayman Moussa as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, to succeed Jeff Clementz, in each case effective as of June 9, 2023. Mr. Moussa was also appointed to a vacant position on the Board of Directors to serve as a Class II director. Mr. Clementz resigned as a director of the Company and transitioned from his role as Chief Executive Officer to serving as a strategic advisor to Mr. Moussa, the Board of Directors and the management team of the Company for a transition period. Mr. Clementz’s transition is not the result of any disagreements over the Company’s business, operations, or strategic direction.

Review of Strategic Alternatives

On May 11, 2023, we announced that our Board of Directors is exploring and evaluating strategic alternatives to enhance stockholder value, which may include (but may not be limited to) exploring a potential sale of certain operating businesses, third party investment or partnership opportunities and/or funding alternatives for our marketplace business, or the continued execution of our business plans. There is no set timetable for completion of the evaluation process, and we do not intend to provide updates or make any comments regarding the evaluation of strategic alternatives, unless our Board of Directors has approved a specific transaction or otherwise deems disclosure appropriate.

39

There can be no assurance that any such transaction will be pursued or consummated. We may also incur substantial costs in connection with the pursuit of strategic alternatives which are not ultimately consummated. Also, there are risks inherent with the consummation of any such transaction, such as the risks that the expected enhancement of shareholder value may not be realized, that unexpected liabilities may result from such transaction and that the process of consummating or the effects of consummating such a transaction may cause interruption or slow down the operations of our existing or continuing businesses.

Convertible Notes

On May 16, 2023, the Company announced that it would utilize the contractual 30-day grace period with respect to the interest payment due on May 15, 2023 on the Notes. The Company and its advisors began communications with debt holders to explore restructuring options and on June 13, 2023, the Company made the interest payment due on the Notes within the grace period, in the amount of approximately $3.6 million.

On May 31, 2023, the Company entered into confidentiality agreements ("NDAs") and commenced discussions with legal advisors for a group of holders of the Company’s Notes and Senior Unsecured Notes (collectively, the "Holders") regarding a potential restructuring or refinancing and related transactions (collectively, the “Transaction”). On July 24, 2023, the NDAs terminated without the Company and the Holders reaching an agreement on the material terms of the proposed Transaction. The Company continues to evaluate alternatives to optimize its capital structure and other alternatives to maximize value.

Nasdaq Market Capitalization Deficiency Letter

On April 19, 2023, Nasdaq staff (the "Staff") notified the Company that, for the last 30 consecutive business days, the Company’s Market Value of Listed Securities ("MVLS") was below the minimum of $35 million required for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(2) (the “Market Value Standard”). The Company has a period of 180 calendar days from the date of the notice, or until October 16, 2023 (the “Compliance Date”), to regain compliance with the Market Value Standard. During this period, Class A common stock will continue to trade on The Nasdaq Capital Market. If at any time before the Compliance Date the Company’s MVLS closes at or above $35 million for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days as required under the Market Value Standard, the Staff will notify the Company it has regained compliance and the matter will be closed. If the Company does not regain compliance with the Market Value Standard by the Compliance Date, the Staff will provide a written notification to the Company that Class A common stock will be subject to delisting. At that time, the Company may appeal the Staff’s delisting determination to a Hearings Panel (the “Panel”). However, there can be no assurance that, if the Company receives a delisting notice and appeals the delisting determination by the Staff to the Panel, such appeal would be successful. The Company intends to monitor its MVLS between now and the Compliance Date, and may, if appropriate, evaluate available options to resolve the deficiency under the Market Value Standard and regain compliance with the Market Value Standard.

Nasdaq Deficiency Letter and Reverse Stock Split

On October 4, 2022, we received a deficiency letter from the Listing Qualifications Department (the “Staff”) of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) notifying us that, for the last 30 consecutive business days, the bid price for our Class A common stock had closed below the $1.00 per share minimum bid price requirement for continued inclusion on The Nasdaq Capital Market pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(a)(1) (the "Bid Price Requirement"). Under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A) (the "Compliance Period Rule"), we have a 180-calendar day grace period, or until April 3, 2023 (the “Compliance Date”), to regain compliance with the Bid Price Requirement. During this period, our Class A common stock will continue to trade on The Nasdaq Capital Market. If at any time before the Compliance Date the bid price of Class A common stock closes at or above $1.00 per share for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days as required under the Compliance Period Rule, the Staff will provide written notification to the Company that it has regained compliance with the Bid Price Requirement (unless the Staff exercises its discretion to extend this 10 business day period pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(H)).

At the Company’s Special Meeting of Stockholders held on December 7, 2022, the Company’s stockholders approved a proposal to authorize a reverse stock split of the Company’s Class A common stock, at a ratio within the range of 1-for-5 to 1-for-10. The Board approved a 1-for-10 reverse split ratio, and on March 7, 2023, the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment to its Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Charter Amendment”) to effect the reverse split effective March 8, 2023. On March 22, 2023, the Company was notified by Nasdaq that the Company has regained compliance with the Bid Price Requirement.

CarLotz Merger

The Company closed its acquisition of CarLotz, Inc. in December 2022. At the date of this filing, the Company has closed all former CarLotz locations except those serving our current major markets. The workforce of the combined company has also been reduced in accordance with our smaller geographic footprint and to eliminate redundancies arising from the CarLotz Merger.

Business Description

Shift is an omnichannel retailer buying and selling used cars, operating an end-to-end ecommerce platform and three markets located in California and Oregon. Each market provides vehicle inventory inspection, reconditioning and storage to prepare cars for sale. For the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company had $101.4 million in revenue, a decrease of 77% compared to $443.3 million of revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2022.

Shift's focus on improving unit economics is driven by direct vehicle acquisition channels, optimized inventory mix and ancillary product offerings, combined with streamlined inventory onboarding, controlled fulfillment costs, and centralized software. Shift’s differentiated consumer sourcing strategy offers a wide variety of vehicles across the entire spectrum of model, price, age, and mileage to ensure that Shift has the right car for buyers regardless of interest, need, budget, or credit. For the six months ended June 30, 2023, Shift sourced 80% of its inventory from consumer-sellers and partners driving improved margins and customer acquisition cost. Our data-driven vehicle evaluations help ensure acquisition of the right inventory at the right price to reduce days to sale. We believe that a differentiated ability to purchase vehicles directly from consumer-sellers provides Shift with access to a deep pool of scarce, highly desirable inventory. Over time, we intend to expand our machine learning-enabled recommendation engine to better help customers find the cars best suited to them.

Shift offers a full suite of options to consumers to finance and protect their vehicle through our mobile point-of-sale solution or in our locations. These products include vehicle service contracts, guaranteed asset protection, and tire coverage.

Since inception, Shift has invested significantly in its technology to provide a highly-rated customer experience, to support the operations of the business, and to allow the Company to scale over time. Our ecommerce platform has significant functionality that includes discover and search functionality for potential car buyers, the ability to connect customers to various lending partners for financing and service products, online prequalification form that filters inventory that meets their budget and financing requirements, ability to prequalify for financing, and the ability to get an instant online quote for car sellers. We will continue to develop our technology to improve the overall operations of the business and especially the customer experience.

42

Revenue Model

Shift’s two-sided model generates value from both the purchase and sale of vehicles along with financing and vehicle protection products. We acquire cars directly from consumers, partners, and other sources and sell vehicles to consumers at one of our markets, directly, through our ecommerce platform in a seamless end-to-end process, or through a combination of online and in-person. This model captures value from the difference in the price at which the car is acquired and sold, as well as through fees on the sale of ancillary products such as financing and vehicle protection products, also referred to as finance and insurance (“F&I”), and services. If a car that we purchase does not meet our standards for retail sale, we generate revenue by selling through wholesale channels. These vehicles are primarily acquired from customers who trade-in their existing vehicles in connection with a purchase from us. Our revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 was $47.3 million and $223.7 million, respectively. Our revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 was $101.4 million and $443.3 million, respectively.

Inventory Sourcing

We source the majority of our vehicles directly from consumers and partners who use the Shift platform to resell trade-in and other vehicles. These channels provide scarce and desirable local inventory of used cars of greater quality than those typically found at auction. In addition to those primary channels, we supplement our vehicle acquisitions with purchases from auto auctions, as well as some vehicles sourced locally through the trade-in program of an original equipment manufacturer (“OEM”).

Proprietary machine learning-enabled software inputs vast quantities of data across both the supply and demand sides to optimize our vehicle acquisition strategy. As we accumulate data, we expect to improve the performance of our model to optimize our vehicle selection and disposal.

Vehicle Reconditioning

All of the cars that Shift sells undergo a rigorous 150+ point mechanical inspection and reconditioning process in one of our markets (or at a third-party partner when additional capacity is needed) to help ensure that they are safe, reliable, up to cosmetic standards, and comfortable. We have created two classifications of inventory for reconditioning — Value and Certified — to optimize the level of reconditioning for each vehicle classification. This allows us to efficiently provide each customer with the greatest value through a tailored reconditioning approach. Value cars are typically sold at a lower price point and are sought after by consumers who have different expectations and tolerances for cosmetic reconditioning standards — therefore, we focus on mechanical and safety issues for these vehicles, with less emphasis on cosmetic repair, in order to optimize reconditioning costs. This operational flexibility in our reconditioning process improves our ability to grow profitably and is a primary factor in our decision to conduct reconditioning in-house.

Financing and Vehicle Protection Products

We generate revenue by earning no obligation referral fees for selling ancillary products to customers that purchase vehicles through the Shift platform. Since we earn fees for the F&I products we sell, our gross profit on these items is equal to the revenue we generate. Our current offering consists of financing from third-party lenders, guaranteed asset protection (“GAP”), vehicle protection plans and vehicle service contracts. We plan to offer additional third-party products to provide a wider product offering to customers and expect these products to contribute to reaching our revenue and profitability targets.

43

Factors Affecting our Business Performance

Various trends and other factors have affected and may continue to affect our business, financial condition and operating results, including:

Market Penetration Within Our Existing Markets

We believe that there remains an opportunity to capture additional market share within our existing markets.

Technology Platform

We are constantly investing in our technology platform to improve both customer experience and our business performance. We regularly implement changes to our software to help customers find the right car for them, while the machine learning component of our inventory and pricing model ensures we get the right cars at the right price. As our algorithms evolve, we are able to better monetize our inventory of vehicles through improved pricing. Simultaneously, customers become more likely to purchase a car on our website, driving higher demand and sales volume.

Reconditioning Processes

We learned early on from our experience in the used car sales business that in order to be a reliable used car resource with desirable inventory for all customer types, we needed to control our own reconditioning processes. Our reconditioning program has constantly improved over the course of our history. Each unit of our inventory is reconditioned with a focus on safety first, while optimizing for repairs that will have the highest return on investment (“ROI”).

Other Revenue from Existing Revenue Streams

We have prioritized development of our “other revenue” streams, which comprise the financing and vehicle protection products as well as other ancillary products. We have invested in the technology and sales capabilities needed to increase the likelihood that consumers will purchase ancillary products in connection with the sale of a vehicle, and we see more opportunity for additional revenue within our existing channels from further expansion of our attach rates for our financing and vehicle protection product suite.

Other Revenue from Expansion of Product Offerings

We see an opportunity to further expand our other revenue streams through additional product offerings beyond the existing offerings on our platform. These incremental revenue streams will come in the form of on-boarding new lending partners to our existing loan program, as well as introducing entirely new financing and vehicle protection products to offer our customers. We intend to continue to grow this business segment to service every addressable need of our customers during the vehicle purchase process.

Seasonality

We expect our quarterly results of operations, including our revenue, gross profit, profitability, if any, and cash flow to vary significantly in the future, based in part on, among other things, consumers’ car buying patterns. We have typically experienced higher revenue growth rates in the second and third quarters of the calendar year than in each of the first or fourth quarters of the calendar year. We believe these results are due to seasonal buying patterns driven in part by the timing of income tax refunds, which we believe are an important source of car buyer down payments on used vehicle purchases. We recognize that in the future, our revenues may be affected by these seasonal trends (including any disruptions to normal seasonal trends arising from the COVID-19 pandemic), as well as cyclical trends affecting the overall economy, and specifically the automotive retail industry.

44

Key Operating Metrics

We regularly review a number of metrics, including the following key metrics, to evaluate our business, measure our progress and make strategic decisions. Our key operating metrics measure the key drivers of our performance, increasing our brand awareness through unique site visitors and continuing to offer a full spectrum of used vehicles to service all types of customers.

Retail Units Sold

We define retail units sold as the number of vehicles sold to customers in a given period, net of returns. We currently have a seven-day, 200 mile return policy. The number of retail units sold is the primary driver of our revenues and, indirectly, gross profit, since retail unit sales enable multiple complementary revenue streams, including all financing and protection products. We view retail units sold as a key measure of our growth, as growth in this metric is an indicator of our ability to successfully scale our operations while maintaining product integrity and customer satisfaction.

Wholesale Units Sold

We define wholesale units sold as the number of vehicles sold through wholesale channels in a given period. While wholesale units are not the primary driver of revenue or gross profit, wholesale is a valuable channel as it allows us to be able to purchase vehicles regardless of condition, which is important for the purpose of accepting a trade-in from a customer making a vehicle purchase from us, and as an online destination for consumers to sell their cars even if not selling us a car that meets our retail standards.

Retail Average Sale Price

We define retail average sale price (“ASP”) as the average price paid by a customer for a retail vehicle, calculated as retail revenue divided by retail units. Retail average sale price helps us gauge market demand in real-time and allows us to maintain a range of inventory that most accurately reflects the overall price spectrum of used vehicle sales in the market. We believe this metric provides transparency and is comparable to our peers.

Wholesale Average Sale Price

We define wholesale average sale price as the average price paid by a customer for a wholesale vehicle, calculated as wholesale revenue divided by wholesale units. We believe this metric provides transparency and is comparable to our peers.

Gross Profit per Unit

We define gross profit per unit as the gross profit for retail, other, and wholesale, each of which is divided by the total number of retail units sold in the period. We calculate gross profit as the revenue from vehicle sales and services less the costs associated with acquiring and reconditioning the vehicle prior to sale. Gross profit per unit is primarily driven by retail vehicle revenue, which generates additional revenue through attachment of our financing and protection products, and gross profit generated from wholesale vehicle sales. We present gross profit per unit from our three revenues streams as Retail gross profit per unit, Wholesale gross profit per unit and Other gross profit per unit.

Average Monthly Unique Visitors

We define a monthly unique visitor as an individual who has visited our website within a calendar month, based on data collected on our website. We calculate average monthly unique visitors as the sum of monthly unique visitors in a given period, divided by the number of months in that period. To classify whether a visitor is “unique”, we dedupe (a technique for eliminating duplicate copies of repeating data) each visitor based on email address and phone number, if available, and if not, we use the anonymous ID which lives in each user’s internet cookies. This practice ensures that we do not double-count individuals who visit our website multiple times within any given month. We view average monthly unique visitors as a key indicator of the strength of our brand, the effectiveness of our advertising and merchandising campaigns and consumer awareness.

Average Days to Sale

We define average days to sale as the number of days between Shift’s acquisition of a vehicle and sale of that vehicle to a customer, averaged across all retail units sold in a period. We view average days to sale as a useful metric in understanding the health of our inventory.

45

Retail Vehicles Available for Sale

We define retail vehicles available for sale as the number of retail vehicles in inventory on the last day of a given reporting period. Until we reach an optimal pooled inventory level, we view retail vehicles available for sale as a key measure of our growth. Growth in retail vehicles available for sale increases the selection of vehicles available to consumers, which we believe will allow us to increase the number of vehicles we sell. Moreover, growth in retail vehicles available for sale is an indicator of our ability to scale our vehicle purchasing, inspection and reconditioning operations.

We present operating results down to gross profit from three distinct revenue channels:

Retail Vehicles, Net: The retail channel within our Retail segment represents sales of used vehicles directly to our customers through our website.

Other, Net: The other channel within our Retail segment represents fees earned on sales of value-added products associated with the sale of retail vehicles.

Wholesale Vehicles: The Wholesale channel is the only component of our Wholesale segment and represents sales of used vehicles through wholesale auctions.

Three Months Ended June 30, 2023

Retail Vehicle Revenue, Net

Retail vehicle revenue decreased by $151.8 million, or 77.8%, to $43.2 million during the three months ended June 30, 2023, from $195.0 million in the comparable period in 2022. This decrease was driven by a decrease in retail unit sales, as we sold 1,998 retail vehicles in the three months ended June 30, 2023, compared to 6,872 retail vehicles in the three months ended June 30, 2022. The decrease in retail unit sales was associated with the closure in 2022 of inventory storage and reconditioning centers in California, Washington, and Texas and the associated reduction in inventory available for sale.

The decrease in retail vehicle revenue was partly due to a decrease in retail ASP, which was $21,633 for the three months ended June 30, 2023, compared to $28,373 for the three months ended June 30, 2022.This decrease in retail ASP was primarily a reflection of a return to a more traditional seasonality in the used vehicle market (as market supply increased) combined with a shift in our product mix towards older "value" vehicles compared to the prior period.

Other Revenue, Net

Other revenue decreased by $7.5 million, or 81.2%, to $1.7 million during the three months ended June 30, 2023, from $9.2 million in the comparable period in 2022. This decrease was primarily due to lower unit sales, as described above.

Wholesale Vehicle Revenue

Wholesale vehicle revenue decreased by $17.2 million, or 88.2%, to $2.3 million during the three months ended June 30, 2023, from $19.5 million in the comparable period in 2022. This decrease in wholesale vehicle revenue was primarily due to a decrease in wholesale unit sales as we sold 187 wholesale vehicles in the three months ended June 30, 2023, compared to 1,161 wholesale vehicles in the three months ended June 30, 2022. The decrease was also partly due to a 26.7% decrease in ASP due to a shift in our product mix towards older "value" vehicles compared to the prior period, as well as decreased wholesale prices in the market as a whole.

Cost of Sales

Cost of sales decreased by $167.7 million, or 79.2%, to $44.1 million during the three months ended June 30, 2023, from $211.9 million in the comparable period in 2022. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in unit sales as we sold 2,185 total vehicles in the three months ended June 30, 2023, compared to 8,033 total vehicles in the three months ended June 30, 2022.

48

Retail Vehicle Gross Profit

Retail vehicle gross profit decreased by $1.9 million, or 57.2%, to $1.4 million during the three months ended June 30, 2023, from $3.3 million in the comparable period in 2022. The decrease was primarily driven by a decrease in retail unit sales, which decreased to 1,998 units for the three months ended June 30, 2023, from 6,872 units in the comparable period in 2022. The decrease in retail unit sales was associated with the closure in 2022 of inventory storage and reconditioning centers in California, Washington, and Texas and the associated reduction in inventory available for sale.

The volume-driven decrease in retail vehicle gross profit was partly offset by an increase in retail gross profit per unit, which grew $226 to $704 during the three months ended June 30, 2023 from $478 in the comparable period in 2022.

Other Gross Profit

Other gross profit decreased by $7.5 million, or 81.2%, to $1.7 million during the three months ended June 30, 2023, from $9.2 million in the comparable period in 2022. The decrease was primarily driven by a decrease in retail units sold, as described in “Retail Vehicle Revenue, Net” above. The decrease in other gross profit was also partly due to a decrease in other gross profit per unit to $865 during the three months ended June 30, 2023, from $1,342 per unit in the comparable period in 2022. Other revenue consists of 100% gross margin products for which gross profit equals revenue. Therefore, changes in other gross profit and the associated drivers are identical to changes in other revenue and the associated drivers.

Wholesale Vehicle Gross Loss

Wholesale vehicle gross loss decreased by $0.6 million, or 96.3%, to $23 thousand during the three months ended June 30, 2023, from $0.6 million in the comparable period in 2022. This decrease in wholesale vehicle gross loss was primarily due to a decrease in wholesale unit sales as we sold 187 wholesale vehicles in the three months ended June 30, 2023, compared to 1,161 wholesale vehicles in the three months ended June 30, 2022.

____________

(1)Other costs include all other selling, general and administrative expenses such as facility operating costs, vehicle shipping costs for internal purposes, corporate occupancy, professional services, registration and licensing, and IT expenses, and M&A transaction costs.

Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased by $36.1 million, or 61.5%, to $22.6 million during the three months ended June 30, 2023, from $58.7 million in the comparable period in 2022. Marketing costs decreased by $7.5 million due to lower spending on brand marketing. A decrease in compensation costs of $15.8 million was driven by a decrease in average headcount to 335 from 1,232 in the comparable period in 2022. Lastly, other costs decreased by $12.8 million due primarily to decreased facilities costs and selling and logistics costs stemming from decreased retail unit volume.

Selling, general and administrative expenses have increased as a percentage of revenue from 26.3% to 47.9%, primarily due to decreased scale and operating leverage compared to the prior period. Following the 2023 Restructuring Plan, management expects improvement in SG&A leverage as the Company prioritizes cost-effective fulfillment channels and more efficient use of overhead.

49

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and amortization expenses decreased by $0.5 million or 21.6% to $1.9 million during the three months ended June 30, 2023, from $2.5 million in the comparable period in 2022. The decrease is primarily due to reductions in the Company's depreciable asset base resulting from the closure of Company locations in California, Washington, and Texas in the third quarter of 2022 and impairment charges recognized in the fourth quarter of 2022.

Loss on Impairment

During the three months ended June 30, 2023 the Company recognized impairment charges totaling $1.3 million on certain lease related assets (see Note 15 - Impairment, Restructuring and Discontinued Operations to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information). There were no such impairment charges during the comparable period in 2022.

Interest and Other Expense, Net

Interest and other expense, net of $2.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 decreased slightly compared to $2.8 million for the comparable period in 2022. Interest on the Company's fixed-rate debt remained constant, while the impact of lower average balances on the Company's floating-rate flooring line of credit were largely offset by increased rates of interest. See Note 9 - Borrowings to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information on the Company's debt instruments.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2023

Retail Vehicle Revenue, Net

Retail vehicle revenue decreased by $285.9 million, or 75.6%, to $92.1 million during the six months ended June 30, 2023, from $378.1 million in the comparable period in 2022. The decrease in retail vehicle revenue was primarily due to a decrease in retail unit sales, as we sold 4,290 retail vehicles in the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to 13,586 retail vehicles in the six months ended June 30, 2022. The decrease in unit sales was associated with the closure in 2022 of inventory storage and reconditioning centers in California, Washington, and Texas and the associated reduction in inventory available for sale.

This decrease was also partly due to a decrease in retail ASP, which was $21,476 for the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to $27,827 for the six months ended June 30, 2022. This decrease in retail ASP was primarily a reflection of a return to a more traditional seasonality in the used vehicle market (as market supply increased) combined with a shift in our product mix towards older "value" vehicles compared to the prior period.

Following 2022's shift in strategy, retail revenue and unit sales are expected to stabilize during the remainder of 2023.

Other Revenue, Net

Other revenue decreased by $14.6 million, or 81.1%, to $3.4 million during the six months ended June 30, 2023, from $17.9 million in the comparable period in 2022. This decrease was primarily due to the decrease in unit sales as we sold 4,290 total vehicles in the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to 13,586 total vehicles in the six months ended June 30, 2022.

Wholesale Vehicle Revenue

Wholesale vehicle revenue decreased by $41.5 million, or 87.6%, to $5.9 million during the six months ended June 30, 2023, from $47.3 million in the comparable period in 2022. This decrease in wholesale vehicle revenue was primarily due to a 83.9% decrease in wholesale vehicle unit sales to 439 during the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to 3,136 wholesale vehicles sold in the six months ended June 30, 2022.

Cost of Sales

Cost of sales decreased by $325.6 million, or 77.4%, to $95.1 million during the six months ended June 30, 2023, from $420.6 million in the comparable period in 2022. The decrease was primarily due to decreased total unit sales as we sold 4,729 total vehicles in the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to 16,722 total vehicles in the six months ended June 30, 2022.

50

Retail Vehicle Gross Profit

Retail vehicle gross profit decreased by $1.8 million, or 33.1%, to $3.7 million during the six months ended June 30, 2023, from $5.5 million in the comparable period in 2022. The decrease was primarily driven by decreased retail unit sales (as described above under Retail Vehicle Revenue, Net), partly offset by an increase in retail gross profit per unit, which grew to $858 per unit for the six months ended June 30, 2023, from $405 per unit in the comparable period in 2022. This was due to higher margins driven by improved inventory aging compared to the same period last year. Retail GPU for the comparable period in 2022 was abnormally low due to the sell-through of inventory acquired during periods of abnormally high used vehicle pricing.

Other Gross Profit

Other gross profit decreased by $14.6 million, or 81.1%, to $3.4 million during the six months ended June 30, 2023, from $17.9 million in the comparable period in 2022. The decrease in other gross profit was primarily driven by a decrease in retail units sold (as described above under Retail Vehicle Revenue, Net). The decrease was partly due to other gross profit per unit which shrank to $788 during the six months ended June 30, 2023, from $1,320 per unit in the comparable period in 2022. Other revenue consists of 100% gross margin products for which gross profit equals revenue. Therefore, changes in other gross profit and the associated drivers are identical to changes in other revenue and the associated drivers.

Wholesale Vehicle Gross Loss

Wholesale vehicle gross loss decreased by $17 thousand, or 2.2%, to $0.8 million during the six months ended June 30, 2023, from a loss of $0.8 million in the comparable period in 2022. The decrease was primarily due to the decrease in wholesale units sold (as described above under Wholesale Vehicle Revenue), substantially offset by an increase in wholesale gross loss per unit, which grew to $183 per unit for the six months ended June 30, 2023, from a loss of $57 in the comparable period in 2022.

____________

(1)Other costs include all other selling, general and administrative expenses such as facility operating costs, vehicle shipping costs for internal purposes, corporate occupancy, professional services, registration and licensing, and IT expenses, and M&A transaction costs.

Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased by $57.0 million, or 46.7%, to $65.2 million during the six months ended June 30, 2023, from $122.3 million in the comparable period in 2022. The decrease was partly due to the decrease in compensation costs of $31.7 million, driven by the decrease in average headcount to 464 from 1,232. The decrease was also partly due to a decrease in marketing expense of $14.9 million, as marketing spend was adjusted to fit our smaller geographic footprint. Lastly, other costs decreased by $10.5 million primarily due to reduced selling and logistics costs, partly offset by costs related to closing facilities and integrating Carlotz.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased as a percentage of revenue from 27.6% to 64.4% as the Company committed to exiting locations and reducing its real estate presence to the West coast after the CarLotz merger. The increase as a percentage of revenue is caused by the fact that revenue from a location decreases quickly when it is closed, whereas occupancy and other costs continue to be incurred as the facility is wound down.

51

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and amortization expenses increased by $2.2 million or 52.9% to $6.3 million during the six months ended June 30, 2023, from $4.1 million in the comparable period in 2022. The increase is primarily due to the rapid amortization of intangible assets (primarily software-related) arising from the CarLotz Merger in December 2022. These assets were fully depreciated in the first quarter of 2023, by which time legacy CarLotz software had been retired in favor of Shift's technology platform.

Loss on Impairment

During the six months ended June 30, 2023 the Company recognized impairment charges totaling $2.3 million on certain lease related assets (see Note 15 - Impairment, Restructuring and Discontinued Operations to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information). There were no such impairment charges during the comparable period in 2022.

Interest and Other Expense, Net

Interest and other expense, net of $5.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 increased slightly compared to $5.4 million for the comparable period in 2022. Interest on the Company's fixed-rate debt remained constant, while the impact of lower average balances on the Company's floating-rate flooring line of credit were largely offset by increased rates of interest. See Note 9 - Borrowings to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information on the Company's debt instruments.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Sources of liquidity

Our main source of liquidity is cash generated from financing activities. Cash generated from financing activities through June 30, 2023 primarily includes proceeds from the IAC Merger and PIPE financing completed in October 2020, issuance of convertible notes and senior unsecured notes, and proceeds from the Flooring Line of Credit facility with Ally (the "Ally FLOC"). Refer to Note 9 - Borrowings and Note 14 - Related Party Transactions of the “Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements” for additional information. In addition, we obtained $95.7 million in cash from the CarLotz Merger (see Note 3 - Business Combinations of the “Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements” for additional information).

On May 27, 2021, the Company completed a private offering of its 4.75% Convertible Senior Notes due 2026 (the “Notes”). The aggregate principal amount of the Notes sold in the offering was $150.0 million. The Notes accrue interest payable semi-annually in arrears at a rate of 4.75% per year. The Notes will mature on May 15, 2026, unless earlier converted, redeemed or repurchased by the Company. See Note 9 - Borrowings in the “Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements” for additional details regarding the Notes. The Company used approximately $28.4 million of the net proceeds from the sale of the Notes to pay the cost of the Capped Call Transactions (see Note 11 - Stockholders' Deficit of the “Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements”), and is using the remaining proceeds for working capital and general corporate purposes. On May 16, 2023, the Company announced that it is utilizing the contractual 30-day grace period with respect to the interest payment due on May 15, 2023 on the Notes. The Company and its advisors plan to communicate with debt holders to explore restructuring options.

On May 11, 2022, in conjunction with the acquisition of Fair (see Note 3 - Business Combinations of the “Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements”), the Company entered into an agreement with SB LL Holdco, Inc. ("SB LL Holdco") to a sale of $20.0 million aggregate principal amount of 6.00% Senior Unsecured Notes due May 11, 2025 ("Senior Unsecured Notes").

Since inception, the Company has generated recurring losses which has resulted in an accumulated deficit of $686.6 million as of June 30, 2023. During the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company had negative operating cash flows of $64.3 million. In the future, we may attempt to raise additional capital through the sale of equity securities or through equity-linked or debt financing arrangements. If we raise additional funds by issuing equity or equity-linked securities, the ownership of our existing stockholders will be diluted. If we raise additional financing by incurring indebtedness, we will be subject to increased fixed payment obligations and could also be subject to restrictive covenants, such as limitations on our ability to incur additional debt, and other operating restrictions that could adversely impact our ability to conduct our business. Any future indebtedness we incur may result in terms that could be unfavorable to equity investors.

52

Liquidity and Management's Plan

For the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company generated negative cash flows from operations of approximately $64.3 million and $98.1 million, respectively, and generated net losses of approximately $73.9 million and $109.2 million, respectively. As of June 30, 2023, the Company had unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of $23.3 million and total working capital of $19.1 million. Since inception, the Company has had negative cash flows and losses from operations which it has funded primarily through issuances of common and preferred stock, sales of its 4.75% Convertible Senior Notes due 2026, and through a reverse recapitalization via the IAC Merger in October 2020. The Company has historically funded vehicle inventory purchases through its vehicle floorplan facilities (see Note 9 - Borrowings to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements). The Company's current floorplan facility expires on December 9, 2023. We believe we will need to raise significant additional capital to meet the liquidity needs of the business.

The Company's plan is to raise capital to provide the liquidity necessary to satisfy its obligations over the next twelve months, and to secure a new or amended floorplan financing arrangement to provide continuity when the current floorplan expires. The Company may also pursue other strategic alternatives, including efforts to restructure or refinance its 4.75% Convertible Senior Notes due 2026 and 6.00% Senior Unsecured Notes due 2025 that have not been successful to date. The Company may also restructure its debt under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code and/or cease operations altogether. The Company continually assesses other opportunities to raise debt or equity capital. The Company's ability to raise capital may be constrained by the price of and demand for the Company's Class A common stock. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to raise sufficient additional capital or obtain financing that will provide it with sufficient liquidity to satisfy its obligations over the next twelve months.

The Company continues to focus its strategy on improving unit economics and reducing selling, general, and administrative expenses and seeks to achieve these goals by eliminating less profitable fulfillment channels, consolidating operations into fewer physical locations, and reducing headcount accordingly. Please see Note 15 - Impairment, Restructuring and Discontinued Operations to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.

In accordance with Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-15, Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40), the Company has evaluated whether there are conditions and events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the condensed consolidated financial statements are issued. Management determined as a result of this evaluation, the Company’s losses and negative cash flows from operations since inception, combined with its current cash, working capital position, and expiration of the current floorplan financing arrangement on December 9, 2023, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a basis that assumes the Company will continue as a going concern which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the ordinary course of business. Accordingly, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Debt obligations

See Note 9 - Borrowings of the “Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements” for information regarding the Company’s debt obligations.

Cash Flows — Six Months Ended June 30, 2023 and 2022

The following table summarizes our cash flows for the periods indicated:

	Six Months Ended June 30,
	2023		2022
	($ in thousands)
Cash Flow Data:
Net cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash used in operating activities	$	(64,287)	$	(98,133)
Net cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash used in investing activities	(819)		(23,430)
Net cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash provided by (used in) financing activities	(10,574)		27,504

Operating Activities

For the six months ended June 30, 2023, net cash used in operating activities was $64.3 million, a decrease of $33.8 million from net cash used in operating activities of $98.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022. The change is primarily due to a decrease in net loss of $35.4 million.

Investing Activities

For the six months ended June 30, 2023, net cash used in investing activities of $0.8 million was primarily driven by capitalization of website and internal-use software costs of $3.3 million, offset by proceeds from the sale of marketable securities of $0.8 million and proceeds from sales of discontinued operations of $1.8 million.

Financing Activities

For the six months ended June 30, 2023, net cash used in financing activities was $10.6 million, primarily due to net repayments on the Flooring Line of Credit of $10.4 million.

Contractual Obligations

The Company has various operating leases of real estate and equipment. See Note 5 - Leases to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements for further discussion of the nature and timing of cash obligations due under these leases.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We are a party to an off-balance sheet arrangement, as the Company guaranteed the lease obligation of two closed locations assigned to a third-party (see Note 5 - Leases to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information). We are not a party to any other off-balance sheet arrangements, including guarantee contracts, retained or contingent interests, certain derivative instruments and variable interest entities that either have, or are reasonably likely to have, a current or future material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

Not applicable to Smaller Reporting Companies.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

1. Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (the "Disclosure Controls") within the meaning of Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). Our Disclosure Controls are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act, such as this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms. Our Disclosure Controls are also designed to ensure that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating our Disclosure Controls, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management necessarily applied its judgment in evaluating and implementing possible controls and procedures.

As of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our Disclosure Controls, which was done under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer. Based on the evaluation of our Disclosure Controls, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of June 30, 2023, our Disclosure Controls were not effective due to material weaknesses in the Company's internal control over financial reporting as disclosed below.

2. Material Weaknesses

As previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, we identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting. The first material weakness relates to lack of a process to demonstrate commitment to attracting, developing, and retaining competent individuals in alignment with objectives. This material weakness impacted the effectiveness of our control environment and our entity level controls. It resulted in the Company not maintaining a complement of personnel with an appropriate level of accounting knowledge, experience and training in the application of U.S. GAAP commensurate with its financial reporting requirements and the complexity of the Company’s operations and transactions. The second material weakness relates to insufficient selection and development of Information Technology General Controls ("ITGCs") to support the achievement of objectives.

A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. These material weaknesses could result in a misstatement of account balances or disclosures that would result in a material misstatement of our annual or interim consolidated financial statements that may not be detected.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements or prevent or detect all error and fraud. Any control system, no matter how well designed and operated, is based upon certain assumptions, and can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that its objectives will be met. Further, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that misstatements due to error or fraud will not occur or that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

3. Plan to Remediate Material Weaknesses

The Company is devoting significant time, attention, and resources to remediating the above material weaknesses. The Company has executed or continues to execute the following steps intended to remediate the material weaknesses described above and strengthen our internal control:

•The Company hired experienced finance and accounting executives in the positions of Chief Financial Officer, Chief Accounting Officer, Corporate Controller, Director of SEC Reporting, and Director of Information Technology.

56

•The Company continues to train and develop experienced accounting personnel with a level of accounting knowledge and experience in the application of U.S. GAAP commensurate with our financial reporting requirements and the complexity of our operations and transactions.

•The Company has engaged external specialists as needed to provide assistance in accounting for significant, non-routine or complex transactions.

•The Company engaged external consultants to assist the Company in designing, implementing, and monitoring an appropriate system of internal control, including ITGCs.

•The Company is executing several initiatives to strengthen our ITGC environment, including but not limited to:

◦Implementing additional training to ensure a clear understanding of risk assessment, controls and monitoring activities related to automated processes and systems and ITGCs related to financial reporting;

◦Implementing improved IT policies, procedures and control activities for key systems which impact our financial reporting; and

◦Dedicating an appropriate amount of resources to monitoring ITGCs related to financial reporting, including a sufficient complement of personnel with the appropriate level of knowledge, experience and training to ensure compliance with policies and procedures.

The Company has made significant progress in addressing the previously identified material weaknesses, and the results of management’s testing indicate that the Company’s control environment has improved since the material weaknesses were first identified. However, remediation efforts in the second half of 2022 were negatively impacted by factors including employee turnover in relevant roles and changes in business processes resulting from restructuring activities, as well as the business acquisitions completed during the period. As a result, management was unable to conclude that the material weaknesses were fully remediated as of June 30, 2023. The material weaknesses will not be considered fully remediated until we have concluded, through testing, that applicable controls have been designed and operating effectively for a sufficient period of time.

We plan to continue to devote significant time and attention to remediate the above material weaknesses as soon as reasonably practicable. As we continue to evaluate our controls, we will make the changes described above as well as any others determined to be needed to enhance our control environment and remediate the material weaknesses. We believe these actions will be sufficient to remediate the identified material weaknesses and strengthen our internal control over financial reporting; however, there can be no guarantee that such remediation will be sufficient. We will continue to evaluate the effectiveness of our controls and will make any further changes management determines appropriate.

4. Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Except as described above, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2023, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Part II - Other Information

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

The Company may be subject to legal proceedings and claims that arise in the ordinary course of business. Other than the matters discussed below, Management is not currently aware of any matters that will have a material effect on the financial position, results of operations, or cash flows of the Company.

Stifel matter

On May 7, 2021, we were named in a lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York (Stifel, Nicolaus & Company, Inc. v. Shift Technologies, Inc. 21-cv-04135) by a former financial advisor, Stifel, Nicolaus & Company, Inc. (“Stifel”), claiming that we are required to pay the former financial advisor certain compensation as a result of the IAC Merger. In addition, the complaint seeks punitive damages as a result of alleged unjust enrichment for the amount of the benefits allegedly conferred on Shift by Stifel. On August 24, 2022, Stifel's suit was dismissed with prejudice. On September 16, 2022, Stifel filed a Notice of Appeal with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit and formally filed its appeal with the Second Circuit on January 20, 2023. Shift filed its responsive pleading on April 20, 2023. Following the dismissal of Stifel's initial suit, the probable incurred losses related to the claim are immaterial as of June 30, 2023. Based on such information as is available to us, the range of additional reasonably possible losses related to the claim does not exceed $4.0 million, excluding any punitive damages which the Company cannot currently estimate. The Company believes the claim is without merit and intends to defend itself vigorously; however, there can be no assurances that the Company will be successful in its defense.

CarLotz stockholder matters

On November 4, 2022, a lawsuit entitled Derek Dorrien v. CarLotz, Inc. et al., Case No. 1:22-cv-09463, was filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York against CarLotz and the members of the CarLotz board of directors (the “Dorrien Action”). On November 4, 2022, a lawsuit entitled Sholom D. Keller v. CarLotz, Inc. et al., Case No. 2022-1006-NAC, was filed in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware against CarLotz and the members of the CarLotz board of directors (the “Keller Action” and together with the Dorrien Action, the “Actions”). The Dorrien Action alleges that the defendants violated Sections 14(a) (and Rule 14a-9 promulgated thereunder) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act by, among other things, omitting certain allegedly material information with respect to the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement (the “Transactions”) in the registration statement on Form S-4 (the “Registration Statement”) filed by us with the Securities and Exchange Commission on September 26, 2022. The Keller Action alleges that the members of the CarLotz board of directors and Lev Peker, in his capacity as an officer of CarLotz, breached their fiduciary duties in connection with the Transactions. The Actions seek, among other things, injunctive relief, money damages and the costs of the Actions, including reasonable attorneys’ and experts’ fees. We believe that the plaintiffs’ allegations in the Actions are without merit; however, litigation is inherently uncertain and there can be no assurance that CarLotz’s or our defense of the action will be successful.

In addition, on October 3, 2022, a purported stockholder of CarLotz sent a demand to CarLotz and us regarding the Registration Statement (the “CarLotz Stockholder Demand”). The CarLotz Stockholder Demand alleges the Registration Statement omits material information with respect to the Transactions and demands that CarLotz, the CarLotz board of directors, and Shift provide corrective disclosures. Shift disagrees with and intends to vigorously defend against any claim, if asserted, arising from the CarLotz Stockholder Demand.

Delaware Section 205 Petition

On March 6, 2023, Shift filed a petition in the Delaware Court of Chancery under Section 205 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”) to resolve potential uncertainty with respect to the Company’s share capital. Such uncertainty was introduced by a recent decision in Garfield v. Boxed, Inc., 2022 WL 17959766 (Del. Ch. Dec. 27, 2022) that potentially affects the Company and many other similarly situated companies that were formed and became publicly traded as a special purpose acquisition company (“SPAC”). Out of an abundance of caution, the Company elected to pursue the remedial actions described below. Concurrently with the filing of the Petition, the Company filed a motion to expedite the hearing on the Petition, which was subsequently granted on March 6, 2023.

58

In October 2020, the Company, which was then a SPAC named Insurance Acquisition Corp. (“IAC”), held a special meeting of stockholders (the “IAC Special Meeting”) to approve certain matters relating to the merger between IAC and a privately held company then called Shift Technologies, Inc. One of these matters was a proposal to amend and restate IAC’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “SPAC Charter”) in order to, among other things, increase the number of authorized shares of Class A common stock from 50,000,000 to 500,000,000 (such proposal, the “Share Increase Proposal” and, together with such other amendments to the SPAC Charter, the “Charter Proposals”). At the IAC Special Meeting, the Charter Proposals were approved by a majority of the outstanding shares of Class A common stock and a majority of the outstanding shares of Class B common stock of IAC as of the record date for the IAC Special Meeting, voting together as a single class. After the IAC Special Meeting, IAC and Shift Technologies, Inc. closed the merger pursuant to which the Company became the parent of Shift Technologies, Inc. (now named Shift Platform, Inc.), and the Company’s certificate of incorporation, as amended to give effect to the Charter Proposals and to change the Company’s name to Shift Technologies, Inc., became effective.

The recent ruling by the Delaware Court of Chancery in the Boxed case introduced uncertainty as to whether Section 242(b)(2) of the DGCL would have required the Share Increase Proposal to be approved by the vote of the majority of IAC’s then-outstanding shares of Class A common stock, voting as a separate class. The Company had been operating with the understanding that the Charter Proposals were validly approved at the IAC Special Meeting. In light of this recent ruling, however, to resolve potential uncertainty with respect to the Company’s share capital, the Company filed a petition in the Delaware Court of Chancery under Section 205 of the DGCL to seek validation of the Charter Proposals. Section 205 of the DGCL permits the Court of Chancery, in its discretion, to ratify and validate potentially defective corporate acts.

On March 6, 2023, the Court of Chancery granted the motion to expedite and set a hearing date for the Petition to be heard. On March 17, 2023, the hearing took place and the Court of Chancery approved the Company’s request for relief. The Court of Chancery then entered an order under Section 205 of the DGCL on March 17, 2023, declaring (i) the increase in aggregate number of authorized shares of Class A common stock, par value $0.0001, of the Company from 50,000,000 to 500,000,000 under the Company’s Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Certificate of Incorporation”) and the Certificate of Incorporation, including the filing and effectiveness thereof, are validated and declared effective retroactive to the date of its filing with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on October 13, 2020 and (2) all shares of capital stock of the Company issued in reliance on the effectiveness of the Certificate of Incorporation are validated and declared effective as of the date and time of the original issuance of such shares.

59

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

There have been no material changes to the risk factors included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, except as follows:

There are uncertainties introduced by our continued exploration and evaluation of strategic alternatives to enhance stockholder value.

On May 11, 2023, we announced that our Board of Directors is exploring and evaluating strategic alternatives to enhance stockholder value, which may include (but may not be limited to) exploring a potential sale of certain operating businesses, third party investment or partnership opportunities and/or funding alternatives for our marketplace business, or the continued execution of our business plans. There is no set timetable for completion of the evaluation process, and we do not intend to provide updates or make any comments regarding the evaluation of strategic alternatives, unless our Board of Directors has approved a specific transaction or otherwise deems disclosure appropriate.

There can be no assurance that any such transaction will be pursued or consummated. To date, we have incurred costs as a result of this process, and we may incur substantial costs in connection with the pursuit of strategic alternatives which are not ultimately consummated. Also, there are risks inherent with the consummation of any such transaction, such as the risks that the expected enhancement of shareholder value may not be realized, that unexpected liabilities may result from such transaction and that the process of consummating or the effects of consummating such a transaction may cause interruption or slow down the operations of our existing or continuing businesses.

Our level of indebtedness could have a material adverse effect on our ability to generate sufficient cash to fulfill our obligations under such indebtedness, to react to changes in our business and to incur additional indebtedness to fund future needs.

With our current cash resources, we will be unable to meet our future debt repayment obligation to our current lender unless we are able to raise additional capital and / or restructure our existing debt, which may be on unfavorable terms, if available at all, and we could be forced to pursue alternative options, including, but not limited to, a further workforce reduction, implementing other cost-reduction initiatives, seeking relief in the U.S. Bankruptcy Courts and/or ceasing operations altogether.

As of June 30, 2023, we had outstanding $150.0 million in principal amount under our Senior Convertible Notes (the “Notes”) which mature on May 15, 2026, as well as $20.0 million in principal amount under Senior Unsecured Notes due May 11, 2025. Additionally, we had $14.4 million aggregate principal amount of borrowings under our Flooring Line of Credit with Ally Bank (as defined in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Liquidity and Capital Resources”) as of June 30, 2023, which expires on December 9, 2023 (the "Ally FLOC"). Our interest expense resulting from indebtedness outstanding from time to time during the six months ended June 30, 2023 was $6.0 million.

If our cash flows and capital resources are insufficient to fund our debt service obligations, we may be forced to reduce or delay investments and capital expenditures, or to sell assets, seek additional capital, or restructure or refinance our indebtedness or utilize any available grace period with respect to interest payments. The Company may also restructure its debt under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. Our ability to restructure, refinance or replace our current or future debt will depend on the condition of the capital markets and our financial condition at such time. Any refinancing or replacement of our existing debt could be at higher interest rates and may require it to comply with more onerous covenants, which could further restrict our business operations. The terms of existing or future debt instruments may restrict us from adopting some of these alternatives. Any failure to make payments of interest and principal on our outstanding indebtedness on a timely basis or failure to comply with certain restrictions in its debt instruments, including the maintenance of certain liquidity requirements that further restrict its cash usage, would result in a default under its debt instruments. In the event of a default under any of our current or future debt instruments, the lenders could elect to declare all amounts outstanding under such debt instruments to be due and payable. Furthermore, our flooring line of credit is secured by substantially all of our assets and contains customary restrictive covenants which, among other things, restrict our ability to dispose of assets and/or use the proceeds from the disposition. We may not be able to consummate any such dispositions or to obtain the proceeds that it could realize from them and these proceeds may not be adequate to meet any debt service obligations then due.

In addition, our indebtedness under our flooring line of credit bears interest at variable rates. Because we have variable rate debt, fluctuations in interest rates may affect its cash flows or business, financial condition and results of operations. We may attempt to minimize interest rate risk and lower our overall borrowing costs through the utilization of derivative financial instruments, primarily interest rate swaps.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

Our unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. In the opinion of management, the interim condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, which are normal and recurring in nature, necessary for fair financial statement presentation.

The interim condensed consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the interim condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, condensed consolidated statements of stockholders' equity for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, and condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, and amounts relating to the interim periods included in the accompanying notes to the interim condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited. The unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the audited consolidated financial statements contained in the Company's most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, and in management’s opinion, reflect all adjustments, which are normal and recurring in nature, necessary for the fair financial statement presentation of the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2023, and its results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 and cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022. The results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the fiscal year or any other periods. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related notes for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on March 31, 2023.

At the Company’s Special Meeting of Stockholders held on December 7, 2022, the Company’s stockholders approved a proposal to authorize a reverse stock split of the Company’s Class A common stock, at a ratio within the range of 1-for-5 to 1-for-10. The Board approved a 1-for-10 reverse split ratio, and on March 7, 2023, the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment to its Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Charter Amendment”) to effect the reverse split effective March 8, 2023. All share and per-share amounts have been retrospectively adjusted to reflect the impact of the reverse stock split.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates its estimates and assumptions, including those related to the valuation of vehicle inventory, capitalized website and internal-use software development costs, fair value of Class A common stock, financial instruments, convertible debt, stock-based compensation and income taxes.

Management bases its estimates on historical experience and various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ materially from those estimates.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable are primarily due from auction facilities and partner financial institutions that provide financing to our customers.

The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts that is calculated under the current expected credit loss (“CECL”) model. The CECL model applies to financial assets measured at amortized cost, and requires the Company to reflect expected credit losses over the remaining contractual term of the asset. As the large majority of the Company’s receivables settle within 30 days, the forecast period under the CECL model is a relatively short horizon. The Company uses an aging method to estimate allowances for doubtful accounts under the CECL model as the Company has determined that the aging method adequately reflects expected credit losses, as corroborated by historical loss rates.

Marketable Securities

The Company acquired equity and debt security investments as a result of the CarLotz Merger on December 9, 2022. Equity and debt securities are classified as Level 1 and Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy, respectively. Substantially all of the debt and equity securities were sold between December 31, 2022 and June 30, 2023 and $3 thousand was reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive loss for net losses on marketable securities.

Discontinued Operations

We review the presentation of planned business dispositions in the condensed consolidated financial statements based on the available information and events that have occurred. The review consists of evaluating whether the business meets the definition of a component for which the operations and cash flows are clearly distinguishable from the other components of the business, and if so, whether it is anticipated that after the disposal the cash flows of the component would be eliminated from continuing operations and whether the disposition represents a strategic shift that has a major effect on operations and financial results. In addition, we evaluate whether the business has met the criteria as a business held for sale. In order for a planned disposition to be classified as a business held for sale, the established criteria must be met as of the reporting date, including an active program to market the business and the expected disposition of the business within one year.

Planned business dispositions are presented as discontinued operations when all the criteria described above are met. For those divestitures that qualify as discontinued operations, all comparative periods presented are reclassified in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Additionally, the results of operations of a discontinued operation are reclassified to income from discontinued operations, net of tax, for all periods presented in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. Results of discontinued operations include all revenues and expenses directly derived from such businesses; general corporate overhead is not allocated to discontinued operations.

Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.

The authoritative guidance on fair value measurements establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy for disclosure of fair value measurements as follows:

Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 — Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

Level 3 — Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires management to make judgments and consider factors specific to the asset or liability. The Company recognizes transfers between the levels as of the actual date of the event or change in circumstances that caused the transfer. There were no transfers between levels during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022. As of June 30, 2023, the Company had less than $0.1 million in assets and liabilities, respectively, measured at fair value.

Escrow Shares

In connection with the closing of the Company's merger with Insurance Acquisition Corp. on October 13, 2020, (the "IAC Merger"), 600,021 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock (the “Escrow Shares”) were deposited into an escrow account, with each former Legacy Shift stockholder listed as beneficiary in proportion to their percentage ownership of Legacy Shift common shares immediately prior to the IAC Merger. The Escrow Shares will be released to the beneficiaries if the following conditions are achieved following October 13, 2020, the date of the closing of the IAC Merger:

i.If at any time during the 12 months following the closing, the closing share price of the Company’s Class A common stock is greater than $120.00 over any 20 trading days within any 30 trading day period, 50% of the Escrow Shares will be released.

ii.If at any time during the 30 months following the closing, the closing share price of the Company’s Class A common stock is greater than $150.00 over any 20 trading days within any 30 trading day period, 50% of the Escrow Shares will be released.

iii.If, during the 30 months following the closing, there is a change of control (as defined in the IAC Merger Agreement) that will result in the holders of the Company’s Class A common stock receiving a per share price equal to or in excess of $100.00 per share (as equitably adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, special cash dividends, reorganizations, combinations, recapitalizations and similar transactions affecting the Class A common stock after the date of the IAC Merger), then all remaining Escrow Shares shall be released to the Legacy Shift stockholders effective as of immediately prior to the consummation of such change of control.

The Escrow Shares are legally outstanding and the beneficiaries retain all voting, dividend and distribution rights applicable to the Company’s Class A common stock while the shares are in escrow. If the conditions for the release of the Escrow Shares are not met, the shares and any dividends or distributions arising therefrom shall be returned to the Company. The Escrow Shares are not considered outstanding for accounting purposes, and as such are excluded from the calculation of basic net loss per share (see Note 17 - Net Loss Per Share).

The Escrow Shares meet the accounting definition of a derivative financial instrument. Prior to the cancellation of the first tranche on October 13, 2021, the number of Escrow Shares that would have ultimately been released was partially dependent on variables (namely, the occurrence of a change in control) that are not valuation inputs to a “fixed for fixed” option or forward contract, and therefore the Escrow Shares were not considered to be indexed to the Company’s Class A common stock and were therefore classified as a liability. The Company’s obligation to release the Escrow Shares upon achievement of the milestones was initially recorded to financial instruments liability on the condensed consolidated balance sheets at fair value as of the date of the IAC Merger. Subsequent changes in the fair value of the liability were recorded to change in fair value of financial instruments on the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

As of the first anniversary of the IAC Merger on October 13, 2021, the first tranche of 300,011 Escrow Shares had failed to satisfy the $120.00 stock performance hurdle. As a result, the shares were returned to the Company for cancellation.

Following the return of the first tranche of the Escrow Shares to the Company on October 13, 2021, the Escrow Shares met the "fixed for fixed" option or forward contract criteria for equity classification. As such, changes in fair value of the Escrow Shares through October 13, 2021 were recorded in change in fair value of financial instruments on the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. The fair value of the shares on October 13, 2021 of $6.3 million, measured using the Monte Carlo valuation model, was reclassified to additional paid-in capital on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

On April 13, 2023 the second tranche of 300,010 Escrow Shares failed to satisfy the applicable stock performance hurdle. As a result, the shares were returned to the Company and cancelled.

Liquidity and Management's Plan

For the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company generated negative cash flows from operations of approximately $64.3 million and $98.1 million, respectively, and generated net losses of approximately $73.9 million and $109.2 million, respectively. As of June 30, 2023, the Company had unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of $23.3 million and total working capital of $19.1 million. Since inception, the Company has had negative cash flows and losses from operations which it has funded primarily through issuances of common and preferred stock, sales of its 4.75% Convertible Senior Notes due 2026, and through a reverse recapitalization via the IAC Merger in October 2020. The Company has historically funded vehicle inventory purchases through its vehicle floorplan facilities (see Note 9 - Borrowings). The Company's current floorplan facility expires on December 9, 2023. We believe we will need to raise significant additional capital to meet the liquidity needs of the business.

The Company's plan is to raise capital to provide the liquidity necessary to satisfy its obligations over the next twelve months, and to secure a new or amended floorplan financing arrangement to provide continuity when the current floorplan expires. The Company may also pursue other strategic alternatives, including efforts to restructure or refinance its 4.75% Convertible Senior Notes due 2026 and 6.00% Senior Unsecured Notes due 2025 that have not been successful to date. The Company may also restructure its debt under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code and/or cease operations altogether. The Company continually assesses other opportunities to raise debt or equity capital. The Company's ability to raise capital may be constrained by the price of and demand for the Company's Class A common stock. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to raise sufficient additional capital or obtain financing that will provide it with sufficient liquidity to satisfy its obligations over the next twelve months.

The Company continues to focus its strategy on improving unit economics and reducing selling, general, and administrative expenses and seeks to achieve these goals by eliminating less profitable fulfillment channels, consolidating operations into fewer physical locations, and reducing headcount accordingly. Please see Note 15 - Impairment, Restructuring and Discontinued Operations for additional information.

In accordance with Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-15, Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40), the Company has evaluated whether there are conditions and events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the condensed consolidated financial statements are issued. Management determined as a result of this evaluation, the Company’s losses and negative cash flows from operations since inception, combined with its current cash, working capital position, and expiration of the current floorplan financing arrangement on December 9, 2023, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a basis that assumes the Company will continue as a going concern which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the ordinary course of business. Accordingly, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued guidance codified in Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2016-13, Financial instruments — Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments ("ASU 2016-13"), and subsequent related ASUs, which amends the guidance on the impairment of financial instruments by requiring measurement and recognition of expected credit losses for financial assets held. This ASU is effective for public and private companies’ fiscal years, and for interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019, and December 15, 2022, respectively. The Company adopted ASU 2016-13 under the private company transition guidance beginning January 1, 2023. The adoption did not materially impact the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements.

Business Combination and Asset Acquisition [Abstract]

BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

3. BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

Fair Dealer Services, LLC

On May 11, 2022, the Company completed the acquisition of certain automotive dealer marketplace assets and all of the issued and outstanding limited liability company interests of Fair Dealer Services, LLC (“Fair”), (collectively, the “Marketplace Assets”), from Fair Financial Corp., Fair IP, LLC (“Fair IP”), and (for limited purposes) Cayman Project 2 Limited (“SB LL Holdco”), pursuant to the terms of the Amended and Restated Purchase Agreement dated May 11, 2022. The Company purchased the Marketplace Assets in order to acquire software and other assets to enable the listing of inventory owned by third-party dealerships for sale on the Company’s ecommerce platform. The Company determined that the Marketplace Assets meet the definition of a business, and the purchase is properly accounted for as a business combination.

The Company incurred a total of $3.3 million of transaction related costs for the year ended December 31, 2022. There were $1.6 million and $3.2 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, which are included in selling, general and administrative expenses on the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

The consideration for the Marketplace Assets consisted of cash in the amount of $15.0 million (the “Cash Consideration”) and 206,698 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock (such shares being equal to 2.5% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s Class A common stock as of immediately prior to the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Amended and Restated Purchase Agreement) (the “Stock Consideration”). The shares were issued and valued as of May 11, 2022 at a per share market closing price of $10.20.

The Company financed the acquisition of the Marketplace Assets through the issuance of the Senior Unsecured Notes to SB LL Holdco (see Note 9 - Borrowings). The stated interest rate on the Senior Unsecured Notes was determined to be below the market rate of interest, effectively providing a discount on the purchase price of the Marketplace Assets. Therefore, the Company recognized an imputed discount of $2.1 million on the Senior Unsecured Notes based on an estimated market rate of interest of 10.5%, and a corresponding reduction to the consideration transferred for the purchase of the Marketplace Assets.

The following table presents an estimate of consideration transferred:

	(In thousands)
Cash consideration	$	15,000
Fair value of shares of Shift Class A common stock issued	2,481
Allocation of proceeds from Senior Unsecured Notes	(2,103)
Acquisition Consideration	$	15,378

The intangible assets acquired were recorded at their fair values as of the acquisition date. Management estimated the fair value of intangible assets in accordance with the applicable accounting guidance for business combinations and utilized the services of third-party valuation consultants.

	Estimated Fair Value
Capitalized website and internal use software costs	$	12,500
Other intangible assets - Trade name	100
Other intangible assets - Dealer network	100
Prepaid expenses and other current assets	154
Goodwill	2,524
Total fair value of purchase price	$	15,378

Identifiable Intangible Assets

The Company acquired intangible assets that consisted primarily of developed software, which had an estimated fair value of $12.5 million, and which is included in capitalized website and internal use software costs, net on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Company also acquired other intangible assets with a total estimated fair value of $0.2 million. The Cost to Recreate Method was used to value the acquired developed software asset. Management applied judgment in estimating the fair value of this intangible asset, which involved the use of significant assumptions such as the cost and time to build the acquired technology, developer’s profit and rate of return. The other intangible assets are included in other non-current assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Company began amortizing the intangible assets on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives of three years for the capitalized internal use software and trade name, and one year for the dealer network. During the fourth quarter of 2022, the Company fully impaired these assets.

Goodwill

The goodwill represents the excess of consideration transferred over the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed and is attributable to the benefits expected from combining the Company’s expertise with Fair’s technology, resource base, and ability to effectively integrate the Marketplace Assets with the Company's existing ecommerce platform. This goodwill is not deductible for income tax purposes.

CarLotz, Inc.

On December 9, 2022, the Company completed the acquisition of all of the issued and outstanding equity interests of CarLotz, Inc. (“CarLotz”), a Delaware corporation, pursuant to the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "CarLotz Merger") dated as of August 9, 2022 (the “Merger Agreement”). The CarLotz Merger increased the liquidity available to the combined entity by adding the cash resources of legacy CarLotz to the combined entity and obviating the need for legacy CarLotz to invest in technologies already developed by Shift. The Company determined that the CarLotz Merger is properly accounted for as a business combination.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company incurred zero and $0.2 million, respectively, of transaction related costs for a total of $16.4 million since the date of acquisition. These costs are included in selling, general and administrative expenses on the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

The following table presents an estimate of Merger Consideration transferred to effect the CarLotz Merger at Closing:

	(In thousands)
Fair value of shares of Shift Class A common stock issued to CarLotz stockholders	$	22,411
Replacement of CarLotz equity awards	562
Merger Consideration	$	22,973

The fair value of shares of Shift Class A common stock issued as Merger Consideration was based on approximately 8.6 million shares of Shift Class A common stock, including 0.1 million shares issued pursuant to accelerated vesting of certain CarLotz RSU Awards in connection with the CarLotz Merger, and the closing price of Shift Class A common stock of $2.62 per share on December 9, 2022.

Consideration transferred was allocated to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their fair values as of the acquisition date. Management estimated the fair value of tangible and intangible assets and liabilities in accordance with the applicable accounting guidance for business combinations and utilized the services of third-party valuation consultants. The initial allocation of the consideration transferred is based on a preliminary valuation and is subject to adjustments. Balances subject to adjustment primarily include the valuations of acquired assets (tangible and intangible), liabilities assumed, as well as tax-related matters. During the measurement period, the Company may record adjustments to the provisional amounts recognized. The allocation of the consideration transferred will be finalized within the measurement period (up to one year from the acquisition date).

Identifiable Intangible Assets

The fair value of the trademarks and developed technology intangible assets has been determined using the relief-from-royalty method, which involves the estimation of an amount of hypothetical royalty savings enjoyed by the entity that owns the intangible asset because that entity is relieved from having to license that intangible asset from another owner. In using this method, third-party arm’s-length royalty or license agreements were analyzed. The licensing transactions were selected as reflecting similar risks and characteristics that make them comparable to the subject assets. The net revenue expected to be generated by the intangible asset during its expected remaining life was then multiplied by the selected royalty rate. The selected estimated royalty rates for the trademarks and developed technology were 0.3% and 1.5%, respectively. The estimated after-tax royalty streams were then discounted to present value using a discount rate of 19.4%, to estimate the fair value of the subject intangible assets.

The trademarks are included in other non-current assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The developed technology is included in capitalized website and internal use software costs, net on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Company fully amortized the intangible assets on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives of three months, as the Company is decommissioning the acquired intangible assets in favor of equivalent legacy Shift assets.

Bargain Purchase

Any excess of fair value of acquired net assets over the purchase price (negative goodwill) has been recognized as a gain in the period the acquisition was completed. We have reassessed whether all acquired assets and assumed liabilities have been identified and recognized and performed remeasurements to verify that the consideration paid, assets acquired, and liabilities assumed have been properly valued. The remaining excess has been recognized as a gain in the consolidated statement of operations. Factors believed to contribute to the bargain purchase include i) the management turnover, restructuring, and other indicators of distress experienced by CarLotz prior to the CarLotz Merger, ii) successful cash conservation efforts by CarLotz during the period from the execution of the CarLotz Merger Agreement to the closing of the merger, and iii) a significant decline in the market price of the Company's Class A common stock during the period from the execution of the Merger Agreement to the closing of the merger, which reduced the fair market value of the stock paid as consideration for the merger.

Pro forma information (unaudited)

The unaudited pro forma results presented below include the effects of the CarLotz Merger as if it had been consummated as of January 1, 2021, with adjustments to give effect to pro forma events that are directly attributable to the acquisition. For the three months ended June 30, 2023, the pro forma adjustments include a reduction in stock-based compensation costs to reflect expected amortization of assumed equity awards and a reduction in amortization expense to reflect the revaluation of certain technology assets. For the six months ended June 30, 2022, the pro forma adjustments include a reduction in stock-based compensation expense to reflect expected amortization of assumed equity awards, non-recurring transaction costs, and a gain on bargain purchase.

The unaudited pro forma results do not reflect any operating efficiency or potential cost savings which may result from the integration of CarLotz.

Leases [Abstract]

LEASES

5. LEASES

The Company is a tenant under various operating and finance leases with third parties, including leases of office facilities, vehicle inspection, reconditioning locations, storage locations, and vehicle leases. The Company assesses whether each lease is an operating or finance lease at the lease commencement date.

The Company’s real estate leases often require it to make payments for maintenance in addition to rent as well as payments for real estate taxes, and insurance. Maintenance, real estate taxes, and insurance payments are generally variable costs which are based on actual expenses incurred by the lessor. Therefore, these amounts are generally not included in the consideration of the contract when determining the right-of-use asset and lease liability, but are reflected as variable lease expenses in the period incurred.

Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets and expense for these leases are recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

As the rate implicit in the lease is generally not readily determinable for the Company’s operating leases, the discount rates used to determine the present value of the Company’s lease liabilities are based on the Company’s incremental borrowing rate at the lease commencement date and commensurate with the remaining lease term. The incremental borrowing rate for a lease is the rate of interest the Company would have to pay to borrow on a collateralized basis over a similar term for an amount equal to the lease payments in a similar economic environment. The Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments.

The Company recognized a loss on impairment of operating lease right of use assets of $1.3 million and $2.1 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively. There was no loss on impairment of operating lease right of use assets for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets Disclosure [Abstract]

GOODWILL

7. GOODWILL

On May 11, 2022 the Company acquired the Marketplace Assets for consideration totaling $15.4 million (see Note 3 - Business Combinations). The purchase price was allocated to tangible assets of $0.2 million and intangible assets of $12.7 million based on their fair values on the acquisition date. Goodwill represents the excess purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired. The excess of the purchase price over the amounts allocated to assets acquired was recorded to Goodwill, in the amount of $2.5 million, which was included in the retail segment.

Goodwill is not amortized but is tested at least annually or more frequently when events or circumstances change that would, more likely than not, reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount. The Company first assesses qualitative factors to determine if it is not more likely than not that the fair value of its reporting unit is less than its carrying amount.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, there were no impairments or other changes in the carrying amount of goodwill. During the fourth fiscal quarter of 2022, management determined that indicators of impairment existed and performed a goodwill impairment test resulting in an impairment charge of $0.5 million. Management engaged third party valuation consultants to determine the fair value of the Retail segment (which also meets the definition of a reporting unit for goodwill impairment purposes). The fair value was determined using a market approach based on comparison to peer company valuation multiples.

In November 2019, the Company entered into an arrangement with an original equipment manufacturer (“OEM”) to sell vehicles sourced locally through the trade-in program of the OEM on the Company’s platform. Under the terms of the arrangement, the Company has the option to provisionally accept any trade-ins based on information provided by the OEM. The Company transports any accepted vehicles to one of its inspection, reconditioning and storage centers where Shift inspects the vehicle and makes a final purchasing decision regarding the vehicle. Any rejected vehicles are sent to wholesale auction facilities at Shift’s expense, at which point Shift has no further obligations to the automaker for the rejected vehicle. The Company records inventory received under the arrangement with the OEM equal to the amount of the liability due to the OEM to acquire such vehicles. The liability due to the OEM provider for such acquired vehicles is equal to the OEM’s original acquisition price. The final price paid to the OEM upon sale of the vehicle includes an additional amount equal to 50% of the excess of the sales price over the original acquisition price.

As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, we classified zero and $0.1 million of accrued expenses associated with a long-lived asset disposal group as held-for-sale. See Note 15 - Impairment, Restructuring and Discontinued Operations for further information.

Senior Unsecured Notes

On May 11, 2022, in connection with the Fair acquisition (see Note 3 - Business Combinations), the Company entered into a Note Purchase Agreement (the “Note Purchase Agreement”) by and between the Company, each of the Company’s subsidiaries party thereto as guarantors (each, a “Guarantor” and, collectively, the “Guarantors”), and SB LL Holdco, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“SB LL Holdco”). Pursuant to the Note Purchase Agreement and the terms and conditions set forth therein, the Company agreed to issue and sell, and SB LL Holdco agreed to purchase, 6.00% Senior Unsecured Notes due May 11, 2025 with a principal amount of $20.0 million (the “Senior Unsecured Notes”) in a private placement in reliance on an exemption from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).

The Senior Unsecured Notes bear interest at a rate of 6.00% per annum and will mature on May 11, 2025. The Company may, at its option, prepay the Senior Unsecured Notes in their entirety (i) if prior to November 11, 2024, at 100% of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to (but excluding) such date and a premium specified therein, or (ii) if on or after November 11, 2024, at 100% of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to (but excluding) such date. The Senior Unsecured Notes are senior unsecured indebtedness of the Company.

As of June 30, 2023, discounts and deferred borrowing costs related to the Senior Unsecured Notes totaled $1.6 million and $0.1 million, respectively, and are included as a reduction to long-term debt, net on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. For the three months ended June 30, 2023, the Company had $0.3 million of contractual interest expense and $0.2 million of discount and deferred borrowing cost amortization with both recorded to interest and other expense, net on the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company had $0.2 million of contractual interest expense and $0.1 million of discount and deferred borrowing cost amortization. For the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company had $0.6 million of contractual interest expense and $0.4 million of discount and deferred borrowing cost amortization.

The estimated fair value of the Senior Unsecured Notes (Level 3) as of June 30, 2023 was $4.4 million.

Convertible Notes

On May 27, 2021, the Company completed a private offering of its 4.75% Convertible Senior Notes due 2026 (the “Notes”). The aggregate principal amount of the Notes sold in the offering was $150.0 million. The Notes are the Company’s senior unsecured obligations and will rank equally in right of payment with the Company’s future senior unsecured indebtedness, senior in right of payment to the Company’s future indebtedness that is expressly subordinated to the Notes and effectively subordinated to the Company’s future secured indebtedness, to the extent of the value of the collateral securing that indebtedness.

The Notes accrue interest payable semi-annually in arrears at a rate of 4.75% per year. The Notes will mature on May 15, 2026, unless earlier converted, redeemed or repurchased by the Company.

The Notes are convertible into shares of the Company’s Class A common stock at an initial conversion rate of 11.8654 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock per $1,000 principal amount of Notes (which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $84.28 per share of the Company’s Class A common stock). The initial conversion price represents a premium of approximately 27.47% over the last reported sale price of the Company’s Class A common stock on May 24, 2021, which was $66.10 per share. The conversion rate will be subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events prior to the maturity date. The Company will increase the conversion rate on a sliding scale to up to a maximum of 15.1284 per $1,000 principal amount for a holder who elects to convert its notes in connection with certain corporate events or the Company’s delivery of a notice of redemption, as the case may be, in certain circumstances.

Noteholders may convert their Notes at their option only in the following circumstances:

1.during any calendar quarter commencing after the calendar quarter ending on June 30, 2021, if the last reported sale price per share of our Class A common stock exceeds 130% of the conversion price for each of at least 20 trading days during the 30 consecutive trading days ending on, and including, the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter;

2.during the 5 consecutive business days immediately after any 10 consecutive trading day period (such 10 consecutive trading day period, the “measurement period”) in which the trading price per $1,000 principal amount of Notes for each trading day of the measurement period was less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price per share of our Class A common stock on such trading day and the conversion rate on such trading day;

3.upon the occurrence of certain corporate events or distributions on our Class A common stock;

4.if we call such Notes for redemption; and

5.at any time from, and including, November 15, 2025 until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately before the maturity date.

Conversions of the Notes will be settled in cash, shares of the Company's Class A common stock or a combination thereof, at the Company's election.

The Notes will be redeemable, in whole or in part (subject to a partial redemption limitation), at the Company’s option at any time, and from time to time, on or after May 20, 2024 and on or before the 40th scheduled trading day immediately before the maturity date, at a cash redemption price equal to the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date, but only if (i) the last reported sale price per share of the Company’s Class A common stock exceeds 130% of the conversion price on (1) each of at least 20 trading days, whether or not consecutive, during the 30 consecutive trading days ending on, and including, the trading day immediately before the date the Company sends the related redemption notice; and (2) the trading day immediately before the date the Company sends such notice; and (ii) a registration statement covering the resale of the shares of the Company’s Class A common stock, if any, issuable upon conversion of the Notes in connection with such optional redemption is effective and available for use and is expected, as of the date the redemption notice is sent, to remain effective and available during the period from, and including the date the redemption notice is sent to, and including, the business day immediately before the related redemption date, unless the Company elects cash settlement in respect of the conversions in connection with such optional redemption.

In addition, calling any Note for redemption will constitute a make-whole fundamental change with respect to that Note, in which case the conversion rate applicable to the conversion of that Note will be increased in certain circumstances if it is converted after it is called for redemption and on or prior to the business day immediately before the related redemption date. If the Company elects to redeem less than all of the outstanding Notes, at least $50.0 million aggregate principal amount of Notes must be outstanding and not subject to redemption as of the date the Company sends the related redemption notice.

Unamortized deferred borrowing costs at June 30, 2023 were $3.9 million, and are included as a reduction to long-term debt, net on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. For the three months ended June 30, 2023, the Company recorded $1.8 million of contractual interest expense and $0.3 million of deferred borrowing cost amortization, respectively. For the three months ended June 30, 2022, the Company recorded $1.8 million of contractual interest expense and $0.3 million of deferred borrowing cost amortization, respectively.

For the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company recorded $3.6 million of contractual interest expense and $0.6 million, respectively, of deferred borrowing cost amortization. For the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company recorded $3.6 million of contractual interest expense and $0.6 million, respectively, of deferred borrowing cost amortization. Contractual interest expense and deferred borrowing cost amortization was recorded to interest and other expense, net on the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. The effective interest rate of the Notes is 5.73%.

The estimated fair value of the Notes (Level 2) at June 30, 2023 was $16.5 million.

The Company used a portion of the net proceeds from the sale of the notes to pay the cost of the Capped Call Transactions (see Note 11 - Stockholders' Deficit), and is using the remaining proceeds for working capital and general corporate purposes.

On May 16, 2023, the Company announced that it would utilize the contractual 30-day grace period with respect to the interest payment due on May 15, 2023 on the Notes. The Company and its advisors began communications with debt holders to explore restructuring options and on June 13, 2023, the Company made the interest payment due on the Notes within the grace period, in the amount of approximately $3.6 million.

On May 31, 2023, the Company entered into confidentiality agreements ("NDAs") and commenced discussions with legal advisors for a group of holders of the Company’s Notes and Senior Unsecured Notes (collectively, the "Holders") regarding a potential restructuring or refinancing and related transactions (collectively, the “Transaction”). On July 24, 2023, the NDAs terminated without the Company and the Holders reaching an agreement on the material terms of the proposed Transaction. The Company continues to evaluate alternatives to optimize its capital structure and other alternatives to maximize value.

Ally Flooring Line of Credit

On December 9, 2021, the Company entered into a $100.0 million flooring line of credit facility with Ally Bank to finance its used vehicle inventory (the “Ally FLOC”), which is secured by substantially all of the Company’s assets. Borrowings under the Ally FLOC bear interest at the Prime Rate (as defined in the agreement) plus 1.50%.

Under the Ally FLOC, repayment of amounts drawn for the purchase of a vehicle should generally be made as soon as practicable after selling or otherwise disposing of the vehicles. Outstanding balances related to vehicles held in inventory for more than 180 days require monthly principal payments equal to 10% of the original principal amount of that vehicle until the remaining outstanding balance is 50% (or less) of the original principal balance. Prepayments may be made without incurring a premium or penalty. Additionally, the Company is permitted to make prepayments to the lender to be held as principal payments and subsequently reborrow such amounts.

The Ally FLOC requires the Company to maintain unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of not less than 20% of the total credit line, and to maintain an additional restricted cash balance equal to 10% of the total credit line. Additionally, the Ally FLOC requires the company to maintain at least 10% equity in the Company’s total inventory balance. As of June 30, 2023, the Company was in compliance with all covenants related to the Ally FLOC.

Additionally, the Company is required to pay an availability fee each calendar quarter if the average outstanding balance for such quarter is less than 50% of the average total credit line for such quarter. The Company was required to pay an upfront commitment fee upon execution of the Ally FLOC.

Effective as of February 7, 2023 (the “Effective Date”), the Company amended the Ally FLOC to (i) join the CarLotz Borrowers as borrowers under the Ally FLOC and terminate the inventory financing arrangement between the CarLotz Borrowers and the Ally Parties that was entered into prior to the Company’s acquisition of CarLotz, (ii) reduce the maximum available credit line under the Ally FLOC from $100 million to $75 million and (iii) require the Borrowers to make monthly principal reduction payments for each vehicle subject to the floor plan for more than 150 days rather than 180 days. In addition, effective February 1, 2023, the First Amendment increases the per annum interest rate applicable to Advances (as defined in the Ally Facility) to be equal to the prime rate designated from time to time by Ally Bank plus 175 basis points (from 150 basis points).

As of June 30, 2023, the interest rate on borrowings outstanding under the Ally FLOC was 10.00%. As of June 30, 2023, the Company had an outstanding balance under the facility of $14.4 million and $60.6 million of unused capacity. As of December 31, 2022, the Company had an outstanding balance under the facility of $24.8 million and $75.2 million in unused capacity.

Litigation

The Company may be subject to legal proceedings and claims that arise in the ordinary course of business. Other than the matters discussed below, Management is not currently aware of any matters that will have a material effect on the financial position, results of operations, or cash flows of the Company.

Stifel matter

On May 7, 2021, we were named in a lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York (Stifel, Nicolaus & Company, Inc. v. Shift Technologies, Inc. 21-cv-04135) by a former financial advisor, Stifel, Nicolaus & Company, Inc. (“Stifel”), claiming that we are required to pay the former financial advisor certain compensation as a result of the IAC Merger. In addition, the complaint seeks punitive damages as a result of alleged unjust enrichment for the amount of the benefits allegedly conferred on Shift by Stifel. On August 24, 2022, Stifel's suit was dismissed with prejudice. On September 16, 2022, Stifel filed a Notice of Appeal with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit and formally filed its appeal with the Second Circuit on January 20, 2023. Shift filed its responsive pleading on April 20, 2023. Following the dismissal of Stifel's initial suit, the probable incurred losses related to the claim are immaterial as of June 30, 2023. Based on such information as is available to us, the range of additional reasonably possible losses related to the claim does not exceed $4.0 million, excluding any punitive damages which the Company cannot currently estimate. The Company believes the claim is without merit and intends to defend itself vigorously; however, there can be no assurances that the Company will be successful in its defense.

CarLotz stockholder matters

On November 4, 2022, a lawsuit entitled Derek Dorrien v. CarLotz, Inc. et al., Case No. 1:22-cv-09463, was filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York against CarLotz and the members of the CarLotz board of directors (the “Dorrien Action”). On November 4, 2022, a lawsuit entitled Sholom D. Keller v. CarLotz, Inc. et al., Case No. 2022-1006-NAC, was filed in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware against CarLotz and the members of the CarLotz board of directors (the “Keller Action” and together with the Dorrien Action, the “Actions”). The Dorrien Action alleges that the defendants violated Sections 14(a) (and Rule 14a-9 promulgated thereunder) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act by, among other things, omitting certain allegedly material information with respect to the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement (the “Transactions”) in the registration statement on Form S-4 (the “Registration Statement”) filed by us with the Securities and Exchange Commission on September 26, 2022. The Keller Action alleges that the members of the CarLotz board of directors and Lev Peker, in his capacity as an officer of CarLotz, breached their fiduciary duties in connection with the Transactions. The Actions seek, among other things, injunctive relief, money damages and the costs of the Actions, including reasonable attorneys’ and experts’ fees. We believe that the plaintiffs’ allegations in the Actions are without merit; however, litigation is inherently uncertain and there can be no assurance that CarLotz’s or our defense of the action will be successful.

In addition, on October 3, 2022, a purported stockholder of CarLotz sent a demand to CarLotz and us regarding the Registration Statement (the “CarLotz Stockholder Demand”). The CarLotz Stockholder Demand alleges the Registration Statement omits material information with respect to the Transactions and demands that CarLotz, the CarLotz board of directors, and Shift provide corrective disclosures. Shift disagrees with and intends to vigorously defend against any claim, if asserted, arising from the CarLotz Stockholder Demand.

Delaware Section 205 Petition

On March 6, 2023, Shift filed a petition in the Delaware Court of Chancery under Section 205 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”) to resolve potential uncertainty with respect to the Company’s share capital. Such uncertainty was introduced by a recent decision in Garfield v. Boxed, Inc., 2022 WL 17959766 (Del. Ch. Dec. 27, 2022) that potentially affects the Company and many other similarly situated companies that were formed and became publicly traded as a special purpose acquisition company (“SPAC”). Out of an abundance of caution, the Company elected to pursue the remedial actions described below. Concurrently with the filing of the Petition, the Company filed a motion to expedite the hearing on the Petition, which was subsequently granted on March 6, 2023.

In October 2020, the Company, which was then a SPAC named Insurance Acquisition Corp. (“IAC”), held a special meeting of stockholders (the “IAC Special Meeting”) to approve certain matters relating to the merger between IAC and a privately held company then called Shift Technologies, Inc. One of these matters was a proposal to amend and restate IAC’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “SPAC Charter”) in order to, among other things, increase the number of authorized shares of Class A common stock from 50,000,000 to 500,000,000 (such proposal, the “Share Increase Proposal” and, together with such other amendments to the SPAC Charter, the “Charter Proposals”). At the IAC Special Meeting, the Charter Proposals were approved by a majority of the outstanding shares of Class A common stock and a majority of the outstanding shares of Class B common stock of IAC as of the record date for the IAC Special Meeting, voting together as a single class. After the IAC Special Meeting, IAC and Shift Technologies, Inc. closed the merger pursuant to which the Company became the parent of Shift Technologies, Inc. (now named Shift Platform, Inc.), and the Company’s certificate of incorporation, as amended to give effect to the Charter Proposals and to change the Company’s name to Shift Technologies, Inc., became effective.

The recent ruling by the Delaware Court of Chancery in the Boxed case introduced uncertainty as to whether Section 242(b)(2) of the DGCL would have required the Share Increase Proposal to be approved by the vote of the majority of IAC’s then-outstanding shares of Class A common stock, voting as a separate class. The Company had been operating with the understanding that the Charter Proposals were validly approved at the IAC Special Meeting. In light of this recent ruling, however, to resolve potential uncertainty with respect to the Company’s share capital, the Company filed a petition in the Delaware Court of Chancery under Section 205 of the DGCL to seek validation of the Charter Proposals. Section 205 of the DGCL permits the Court of Chancery, in its discretion, to ratify and validate potentially defective corporate acts.

On March 6, 2023, the Court of Chancery granted the motion to expedite and set a hearing date for the Petition to be heard. On March 17, 2023, the hearing took place and the Court of Chancery approved the Company’s request for relief. The Court of Chancery then entered an order under Section 205 of the DGCL on March 17, 2023, declaring (i) the increase in aggregate number of authorized shares of Class A common stock, par value $0.0001, of the Company from 50,000,000 to 500,000,000 under the Company’s Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Certificate of Incorporation”) and the Certificate of Incorporation, including the filing and effectiveness thereof, are validated and declared effective retroactive to the date of its filing with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on October 13, 2020 and (2) all shares of capital stock of the Company issued in reliance on the effectiveness of the Certificate of Incorporation are validated and declared effective as of the date and time of the original issuance of such shares.

STOCKHOLDERS' DEFICIT

11. STOCKHOLDERS' DEFICIT

Nasdaq Market Capitalization Deficiency Letter

On April 19, 2023, Nasdaq staff (the "Staff") notified the Company that, for the last 30 consecutive business days, the Company’s Market Value of Listed Securities ("MVLS") was below the minimum of $35 million required for continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(2) (the “Market Value Standard”). The Company has a period of 180 calendar days from the date of the notice, or until October 16, 2023 (the “Compliance Date”), to regain compliance with the Market Value Standard. During this period, Class A common stock will continue to trade on the Nasdaq Capital Market. If at any time before the Compliance Date the Company’s MVLS closes at or above $35 million for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days as required under the Market Value Standard, the Staff will notify the Company it has regained compliance and the matter will be closed. If the Company does not regain compliance with the Market Value Standard by the Compliance Date, the Staff will provide a written notification to the Company that Class A common stock will be subject to delisting. At that time, the Company may appeal the Staff’s delisting determination to a Hearings Panel (the “Panel”). However, there can be no assurance that, if the Company receives a delisting notice and appeals the delisting determination by the Staff to the Panel, such appeal would be successful. The Company intends to monitor its MVLS between now and the Compliance Date, and may, if appropriate, evaluate available options to resolve the deficiency under the Market Value Standard and regain compliance with the Market Value Standard.

Nasdaq Deficiency Letter and Reverse Stock Split

On October 4, 2022, the Company received a deficiency letter from the Listing Qualifications Department (the “Staff”) of The Nasdaq Capital Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) notifying us that, for the last 30 consecutive business days, the bid price for our Class A common stock had closed below the $1.00 per share minimum bid price requirement for continued inclusion on the Nasdaq Global Market pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(a)(1) (the "Bid Price Requirement"). Under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A) (the "Compliance Period Rule"), we have a 180-calendar day grace period, or until April 3, 2023 (the “Compliance Date”), to regain compliance with the Bid Price Requirement. During this period, our Class A common stock will continue to trade on the Nasdaq Capital Market. If at any time before the Compliance Date the bid price of Class A common stock closes at or above $1.00 per share for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days as required under the Compliance Period Rule, the Staff will provide written notification to the Company that it has regained compliance with the Bid Price Requirement (unless the Staff exercises its discretion to extend this 10 business day period pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(H)).

At the Company’s Special Meeting of Stockholders held on December 7, 2022, the Company’s stockholders approved a proposal to authorize a reverse stock split of the Company’s common stock, at a ratio within the range of 1-for-5 to 1-for-10. The Board approved a 1-for-10 reverse split ratio, and on March 7, 2023, the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment to its Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Charter Amendment”) to effect the reverse split effective March 8, 2023. On March 22, 2023, the Company was notified by Nasdaq that the Company has regained compliance with the Bid Price Requirement.

Capped Call Transactions

On May 27, 2021, in connection with the issuance of the Notes (see Note 9 - Borrowings), the Company consummated privately negotiated capped call transactions (the “Capped Call Transactions”) with certain of the initial purchasers, their respective affiliates and other counterparties (the "Capped Call Counterparties"). The Capped Call Transactions initially cover, subject to anti-dilution adjustments substantially similar to those applicable to the Notes, the number of the Company’s Class A common shares underlying the Notes. The Capped Call Transactions are expected generally to reduce the potential dilution to holders of the Company’s Class A common stock upon conversion of the Notes and/or offset the potential cash payments that the Company could be required to make in excess of the principal amount of any converted Notes upon conversion thereof, with such reduction and/or offset subject to a cap. The Capped Call Transactions are settled from time to time upon the conversion of the Notes, with a final expiration date of May 15, 2026. The Capped Call Transactions are settled in the same proportion of cash and stock as the converted Notes. The proportion of cash and stock used to settle the Notes is at the discretion of the Company.

The cap price of the Capped Call Transactions was initially approximately $148.725 per share, which represents a premium of approximately 125% above the last reported sale price per share of Class A common stock on Nasdaq on May 24, 2021, and is subject to certain adjustments under the terms of the Capped Call Transactions.

The Capped Call Transactions are separate transactions entered into by the Company with the Capped Call Counterparties, are not part of the terms of the Notes and will not change any holder’s rights under the Notes. Holders of the Notes will not have any rights with respect to the Capped Call Transactions.

The Company used approximately $28.4 million of the net proceeds from the offering of the Notes to pay the cost of the Capped Call Transactions. The Capped Call Transactions do not meet the criteria for separate accounting as a derivative as they are indexed to the Company's stock. The premiums paid for the Capped Call Transactions have been included as a net reduction to additional paid-in capital on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

The settlement amount of the Capped Call Transactions at June 30, 2023 was zero. The settlement amount shall be greater than zero if the volume weighted average price ("VWAP") of the Company's Class A common stock is above $84.30 at any time over the 40 consecutive trading days immediately prior to settlement.

At-the-Market Offering

On May 6, 2022, the Company entered into a Controlled Equity OfferingSM Sales Agreement (the “Sales Agreement”), with Cantor Fitzgerald & Co. (the “Agent”), pursuant to which the Company may offer and sell, at its option, shares of the Company’s Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, having an aggregate offering price of up to $150.0 million (the “Placement Shares”), through the Agent, as its sales agent, from time to time at prevailing market prices in an “at-the-market offering” within the meaning of Rule 415 of the Securities Act, including sales made to the public directly on or through The Nasdaq Capital Market and any other trading market for shares of our Class A common stock (the “Offering”). Due to the Company's change at December 31, 2022 to a non-accelerated filer, the amount that can be raised through an offering is limited by Nasdaq requirements.

Under the Sales Agreement, the Company may from time to time deliver placement notices to the Agent designating the number of Placement Shares and the minimum price per share thereof to be offered. However, subject to the terms and conditions of the Sales Agreement, the Agent is not required to sell any specific number or dollar amount of Placement Shares but will act as Agent using their commercially reasonable efforts consistent with their normal trading and sales practices and applicable state and federal laws, rules and regulations and the rules of The Nasdaq Stock Market. The Company or the Agent may suspend the offering of Placement Shares by notifying the other party. The Offering will terminate after the sale of all of the Placement Shares subject to the Sales Agreement, or sooner in accordance with the Sales Agreement, upon proper notice by us and/or the Agents or by mutual agreement. The Company will pay the Agent a commission of up to 3.0% of the gross sales price of the shares of the Placement Shares sold under the Sales Agreement.

As of June 30, 2023, the Company had not sold any shares pursuant to the Sales Agreement. The Company's ability to raise capital under the ATM is currently constrained by restrictions on the Company's use of shelf registration statements. The Company cancelled the ATM facility on July 20, 2023.

CarLotz Warrants

As part of the CarLotz Merger, the Company assumed 718,342 public and 428,385 private warrants to purchase the Company's common stock at an exercise price of $163.06 related to CarLotz's prior merger with Acamar Partners.

Additionally, former CarLotz equity holders at the closing of CarLotz's previous merger are entitled to receive up to an additional 489,841 earnout shares. The earnout period expires on January 21, 2026 (the "Forfeiture Date") and the earnout shares will be issued if any of the following conditions are achieved:

i.If at any time prior to the Forfeiture Date, the closing trading price of the common stock is greater than $177.24 over any 20 trading days within any 30 trading day period (the “First Threshold”), the Company will issue 50% of the earnout shares.

ii.If at any time prior to the Forfeiture Date, the closing trading price of the common stock is greater than $212.69 over any 20 trading days within any 30 trading day period (the “Second Threshold”), the Company will issue 50% of the earnout shares.

iii.If either the First Threshold or the Second Threshold is not met on or before the Forfeiture Date, any unissued earnout shares are forfeited. All unissued earnout shares will be issued if there is a change of control of the Company that will result in the holders of the common stock receiving a per share price equal to or in excess of $141.80 (as equitably adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, special cash dividends, reorganizations, combinations, recapitalizations and similar transactions affecting the common stock) prior to the Forfeiture Date.

The liabilities associated with the warrants and earnout shares were immaterial as of June 30, 2023. There was not a material change in the fair value of the liabilities between the Merger Date and June 30, 2023.

Segment Reporting [Abstract]

SEGMENT INFORMATION

12. SEGMENT INFORMATION

The Company currently is organized into two reportable segments: Retail and Wholesale. The Retail segment represents retail sales of used vehicles through the Company’s ecommerce platform and fees earned on sales of value-added products associated with those vehicles sales such as vehicle service contracts, guaranteed asset protection waiver coverage, prepaid maintenance plans, and appearance protection plans. The Wholesale segment represents sales of used vehicles through wholesale auctions or directly to a wholesaler (“DTW”).

No operating segments have been aggregated to form the reportable segments. The Company determined its operating segments based on how the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) reviews the Company’s operating results in assessing performance and allocating resources. The CODM is the Chief Executive Officer. The CODM reviews revenue and gross profit for each of the reportable segments. Gross profit is defined as revenue less cost of sales incurred by the segment. The CODM does not evaluate operating segments using asset information as these are managed on an enterprise-wide group basis. Accordingly, the Company does not report segment asset information. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company did not have sales to customers outside the United States. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company did not have any assets located outside of the United States.

Share-Based Payment Arrangement [Abstract]

STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION PLANS

13. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION PLANS

The Company’s 2014 Stock Option Plan (the “2014 Plan”) provides for the grant of restricted stock awards and incentive and non-qualified options and to purchase Class A common stock to officers, employees, directors, and consultants. Options granted to employees and non-employees generally vest ratably over four to five years, with a maximum contractual term of ten years. Outstanding awards under the 2014 Plan continue to be subject to the terms and conditions of the 2014 Plan. The number of shares authorized for issuance under the 2014 Plan was reduced to the number of shares subject to awards outstanding under the 2014 Plan immediately after the IAC Merger. As a result, no further awards will be made under the 2014 Plan. Shares reserved for awards that are subsequently expired or forfeited will no longer be returned to the pool of shares authorized for issuance under the 2014 Plan.

At the Company's special meeting of stockholders held on October 13, 2020, the stockholders approved the 2020 Omnibus Equity Compensation Plan (the "2020 Plan"). The 2020 Plan provides for the grant of incentive and non-qualified stock option, restricted stock units ("RSUs"), restricted share awards, stock appreciation awards, and cash-based awards to employees, directors, and consultants of the Company. Awards under the 2020 Plan expire no more than ten years from the date of grant. The 2020 Plan became effective immediately upon the closing of the IAC Merger.

In December 2022, the Company assumed various stock plans in connection with the CarLotz Merger (the "CarLotz Plans"). Outstanding awards under the CarLotz Plans continue to be subject to the terms and conditions of the CarLotz Plans. The number of shares authorized for issuance under the CarLotz Plans was reduced to the number of shares subject to awards outstanding under the CarLotz Plans immediately after the CarLotz Merger.

On June 30, 2022, the Company issued 1,900,000 RSUs pursuant to an inducement award under NASDAQ Listing Rule 5365(c)(4).

Activity related to employee and non-employee stock options for all plans is set forth below:

	Number of Shares	Weighted Average Exercise Price		Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Life (Years)	Aggregate Intrinsic Value (000’s)

Unvested RSUs as of June 30, 2023 include 190,000 Performance RSUs that vest if the Company achieves certain profitability metrics for the six months ended December 31, 2023. Unvested RSUs also include 760,000 Performance RSUs that vest if the closing price of the Company's common stock exceeds thresholds ranging from $2.00 to $9.25 during the 30 months following the grantee's date of hire. The grant date fair values of awards with market-based vesting conditions were determined using a Monte Carlo valuation model, which requires significant estimates including the expected volatility of our common stock.

Stock-Based Compensation Expense

For the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company recorded stock-based compensation expense to selling, general and administrative expenses on the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss of $1.3 million and $4.9 million, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company recorded stock-based compensation expense of $2.6 million and $9.1 million, respectively.

The Company capitalized stock-based compensation costs for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 of $0.1 million and $0.3 million, respectively, to capitalized website and internal use software costs, net. In addition, the Company capitalized stock-based compensation costs for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 of $0.3 million and $0.7 million, respectively, to capitalized website and internal use software costs, net.

As of June 30, 2023, there was $10.7 million of unrecognized stock-based compensation expense that is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.36 years.

Related Party Transactions [Abstract]

RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

14. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Sales to Related Parties

The Company operated a one-sided marketplace (“OSM”) program whereby the Company acquired cars from various sources in Oxnard, California and sold them directly and solely to Lithia. The Company invoiced Lithia based on the purchase price of the car plus an agreed upon margin. During the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company recognized zero and $4.7 million in sales from the OSM agreement with Lithia, respectively. The OSM program was terminated in the second quarter of 2022 with the last sale to Lithia taking place in March 2022.

Accounts Receivable from Related Party

In September 2018, the Company entered into a warrant agreement (the “Warrant Agreement”) and a commercial agreement for Milestone 1 with Lithia and granted Lithia a warrant to purchase 8,666,154 shares of Legacy Shift common stock at an exercise price of $0.10 per share (the “Warrant Shares”). The Warrant Shares were scheduled to vest and become exercisable in six separate tranches of 1,444,359 shares each. Vesting and exercisability was dependent upon the achievement of the Milestones, as defined below. While the Warrant Agreement establishes general vesting terms for each of the six Milestones, each of the six Milestones contains substantive service or performance requirements, and were non-binding as neither the Company nor Lithia were obligated to perform until the commercial agreement associated with each Milestone was executed. All Warrant Shares became vested prior to the Vesting Termination Date and were exercised prior to the IAC Merger.

In connection with the negotiations related to Milestone 5, Lithia facilitated an agreement with Automotive Warranty Services (“AWS”) to sell and market AWS’s service plans, whereby the Company receives commission rates from AWS of comparable terms to those received by Lithia. In substance the Company paid Lithia, in the form of Warrant Shares, to make an upfront payment to Company’s customers on behalf of the Company as the Company achieved favorable pricing from AWS. The benefits of this agreement were guaranteed by Lithia for an initial term of five years commencing on the signing date of the agreement. Such arrangement was the first of a number of agreements to be entered into under the terms of Milestone 5 (see further discussion below). The estimated fair value of the in substance upfront payment to AWS was $2.8 million with an offsetting entry recorded to additional paid-in capital, representing a capital transaction with a related party.

Milestone 5 was met in October 2019 and the Company recorded the warrants to additional paid-in capital based on a fair value of $4.3 million. Milestone 5 was achieved after a mutual signed agreement was entered into evidencing that Lithia provided commercially best efforts to help the Company secure and maintain access to four finance and insurance products on par with a typical Lithia store. The fair value of the in substance upfront payment, other than the $2.8 million for AWS discussed above, was $0.4 million and was recorded to other non-current assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The combined asset recorded of $3.2 million is subject to amortization over a five-year period expected period of benefit. During the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 the Company amortized $0.1 million and $0.3 million, respectively of the asset as a reduction to finance and insurance sales, which is recorded within other revenue, net on the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the remaining asset, net of amortization, was zero and $0.6 million, respectively.

In February 2023, the contract obtained pursuant to Milestone 5 was terminated, and the remaining $0.5 million of the Milestone 5 asset was expensed to selling, general and administrative expenses on the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

Accounts Payable Due to Related Party

As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 payables and accruals to Lithia consisted of other miscellaneous expenses of $0.2 million and $0.2 million, respectively.

Short-Swing Profit Settlement

During the three months ended June 30, 2023, the Company received a settlement of $0.1 million from a shareholder related to short-swing trading profits disgorged pursuant to section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The settlement was recorded to additional paid-in capital on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

IMPAIRMENT, RESTRUCTURING AND DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

Restructuring and Related Activities [Abstract]

IMPAIRMENT, RESTRUCTURING AND DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

15. IMPAIRMENT, RESTRUCTURING AND DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

During the fourth fiscal quarter of 2022, management identified indicators of impairment, including declines in our market capitalization, rising interest rates, and other unfavorable macroeconomic and industry factors, and performed a test for recoverability for each of the Company's pre-CarLotz Merger asset groups. Assets acquired as part of the CarLotz Merger were recorded at fair value on the acquisition date (see Note 3 - Business Combinations). Asset groups consisted of one asset group containing all operating assets and liabilities of the Company (the "Operating Asset Group"), and separate assets groups each containing a single closed facility that is subleased or held for sublease (the "Sublease Asset Groups"). The Operating Asset Group and certain Sublease Asset Groups were determined not to be recoverable, and as such management determined the fair value of these asset groups. The Operating Asset Group was valued with the assistance of third-party valuation specialists using a market approach based on comparison to peer company valuation multiples. The Sublease Asset Groups were valued using the income approach based on discounted estimated cash flows from subleasing the properties.

The Operating Asset Group and one of the Sublease Asset Groups were determined to have carrying values in excess of their fair values. As such, the Company measured a loss on impairment equal to the difference between the carrying value and the fair value of each impaired asset group. The loss on impairment was allocated to the assets within each respective asset group, except that no individual asset was reduced below its individual fair value. Within the Operating Asset Group, the fair value of individual assets was determined with the assistance of third party valuation specialists. Right of use assets were valued using the market approach, based on comparison to similar leased properties. Capitalized internal use software was valued using the relief-from-royalty approach, which involves the estimation of an amount of hypothetical royalty savings enjoyed by the entity that owns an intangible asset because that entity is relieved from having to license that intangible asset from another owner. Property and equipment was valued using the cost approach based on secondary market values of similar assets. Within the impaired Sublease Asset Group, the fair value of the impaired right of use asset was determined using the income approach based on discounted estimated cash flows from subleasing the properties.

The Company recognized losses on impairment of long-lived assets related to various Sublease Asset Groups of $1.3 million and $2.3 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively. There was no loss on impairment of long lived assets for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022. All impaired asset groups were contained in the Retail segment.

Facility Closures and Reduction in Force

During the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company reduced its total headcount by approximately 42% as a result of continued efforts to improve overhead efficiency and elimination of redundancies resulting from the CarLotz Merger. During the six months ended June 30, 2023, the reduction in force resulted in total new cash charges of approximately $0.9 million, consisting primarily of severance and related personnel reduction costs included in selling, general and administrative expenses on the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. There were no such charges for the three months ended June 30, 2023. In addition, the Company closed its facility in Downers Grove, Illinois and the former CarLotz headquarters facility in Richmond, Virginia.

2022 Restructuring Plan

On July 22, 2022, the Company's Board approved the implementation of the 2022 Restructuring Plan designed to position the Company for long-term profitable growth by prioritizing unit economics, reducing operating expenses and maximizing liquidity. As part of the 2022 Restructuring Plan, the Company consolidated Shift’s physical operations to three West Coast locations in Los Angeles, Oakland, and Portland, closing seven existing facilities. The Company also restructured its workforce around the reduced physical footprint, eliminating approximately 650 positions or 60% of its workforce. The restructuring was substantially complete as of September 30, 2022. There were no restructuring charges related to the 2022 Restructuring Plan recognized for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022.

The following table is a reconciliation of the beginning and ending severance liability for the six months ended June 30, 2023 related to the 2022 Restructuring Plan:

Balance at December 31, 2022	$	794
Accruals and accrual adjustments	—
Cash payments	(311)
Balance at June 30, 2023	$	483

Commutation of Reinsurance Contracts

During the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company commuted all reinsurance contracts issued by the Company's Orange Peel Protection Reinsurance, Ltd. subsidiary. The commutation resulted in transfer of the Company's reinsurance-related assets and liabilities to the counterparty, in exchange for net cash consideration of $0.2 million. In connection with the commutation, the Company recognized a loss on disposal of $0.1 million included in selling, general and administrative expenses on the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

Discontinued Operations

In connection with the acquisition of CarLotz, the Company acquired several real estate leaseholds. A plan of sale related to several of these real estate leases as well as certain assets and liabilities of the Orange Grove Fleet Solutions, LLC ("Orange Grove") subsidiary was adopted in December 2022. Orange Grove and three retail locations sold during the six months ended June 30, 2023 were determined to meet the criteria for classification as discontinued operations. The discontinued operations are included in the Retail and Wholesale segments. The impact on net loss of these leases and subsidiaries held for sale was immaterial for the year ended December 31, 2022.

Additional leasehold and related assets were classified as held for sale during the six months ended June 30, 2023. None of the assets and liabilities initially classified as held for sale during the six months ended June 30, 2023 met the criteria to be classified as discontinued operations. The Company recognized a net gain on disposal of $5.8 million and $2.7 million in connection with assets classified as held for sale or sold during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023. The gain on disposal was recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses on the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

On February 2, 2023, the Company entered into and closed on an Asset Purchase Agreement with a private dealership group, pursuant to which the counterparty agreed to purchase the inventory and the lease-related assets and liabilities of the three retail locations for net cash consideration of $1.5 million.

On June 30, 2023, the Company sold substantially all of the assets and liabilities of Orange Grove Fleet Solutions, LLC for cash consideration of $1.5 million.

On July 14, 2023, the Company entered into a Second Amendment to Inventory Financing and Security Agreement (the “Second Amendment”), by and among the Company, certain of the Company’s wholly owned subsidiaries (collectively, the “Borrowers” and each, a “Borrower”), Ally Bank (“Ally Bank”) and Ally Financial Inc. (“Ally Financial” and, together with Ally Bank, the “Lender”), which amends the Company’s existing Inventory Financing and Security Agreement dated as of December 9, 2021, as amended by the Amendment to Inventory Financing and Security Agreement dated as of February 7, 2023 (as so amended, the “Ally Facility”), by and among the Company, the Borrowers and the Lender.

The Second Amendment amends the Ally Facility to, among other things, (i) reduce the maximum available credit line (the “Credit Line”) under the Ally Facility from $75 million to $30 million, (ii) eliminate the option for a Borrower to obtain financing from the Lender for vehicles for which Dealership does not then hold a lien-free title, and (iii) eliminate the minimum liquidity financial covenant. The Second Amendment also, in conjunction with the Borrowers entering into an amended Credit Balance Agreement with the Lender, amends the Borrowers’ minimum cash balance requirement with the Lender to be an amount equal to the lesser of (i) at least 30% of the amount of the Credit Line and (ii) 100% of the total outstanding principal balance under the Ally Facility.

Clementz Transition and Separation Agreement

As previously announced on June 14, 2023, Shift Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) implemented an executive leadership succession plan in connection with the transition of Jeff Clementz from the Company as its Chief Executive Officer, effective June 9, 2023 (the “Transition Effective Date”). Mr. Clementz also resigned from the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of the Company on the Transition Effective Date. In order to ensure an orderly transition of responsibilities, Mr. Clementz continued to be employed in a non-executive capacity with the Company through July 1, 2023 (the “Separation Date”).

In connection with his transition from employment with the Company, the Company and Mr. Clementz entered into a Transition and Separation Agreement (the “Agreement”) on July 21, 2023 that reflects the terms of his transition and the benefits he is eligible to receive. The Agreement became effective and enforceable on July 29, 2023. Pursuant to the Agreement, and in lieu of all severance benefits otherwise provided for under Mr. Clementz’s prior employment agreement with the Company, Mr. Clementz will be entitled to receive the following benefits: (i) a cash payment equal to $400,000, payable in a single lump sum within thirty (30) days following the Effective Date, (ii) payment of his 2023 annual bonus (if any), prorated for the number of days employed by the Company in 2023 and determined based on actual performance (with any personal goals considered to be fulfilled), and payable at such time that annual bonuses are otherwise generally paid to employees of the Company and (iii) payment of COBRA premiums for eighteen (18) months following the Separation Date (to the extent Mr. Clementz elects COBRA continuation coverage), less amounts equal to the amount active employees pay for such coverage during such time period, and subject to reduction or elimination if Mr. Clementz becomes entitled to duplicative benefits through other employment. The Agreement also provides that Mr. Clementz will make himself available to members of the Company’s senior management team through August 31, 2023 (the “Transition Period”).

In addition, the Agreement contains a general waiver and release of claims by Mr. Clementz in favor of the Company. Mr. Clementz will be subject to certain restrictive covenants following his termination of employment with the Company, including during the Transition Period. Mr. Clementz’s transition is not the result of any disagreements over the Company’s business, operations, or strategic direction.

Foy Separation and General Release Agreement

As previously announced on June 28, 2023, Shift Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) announced that Sean Foy was no longer the Chief Operating Officer of the Company, effective June 23, 2023. In order to ensure an orderly transition of responsibilities, Mr. Foy continued to be employed in a non-executive capacity with the Company through July 1, 2023 (the “Separation Date”). Mr. Foy also resigned from all director, officer or other positions that he held on behalf of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates on the Separation Date.

In connection with his separation from employment from the Company, the Company and Mr. Foy entered into a Separation and General Release Agreement (the “Agreement”) on August 3, 2023 that reflects the terms of his separation and the benefits he is eligible to receive. The Agreement becomes effective and enforceable on August 11, 2023 (the “Effective Date”) unless revoked in writing by Mr. Foy prior to the Effective Date. Pursuant to the Agreement, and in lieu of all severance benefits otherwise provided for under Mr. Foy’s prior Offer Letter dated October 12, 2018, as amended on October 16, 2018, and any applicable Company plans or programs in which Mr. Foy participated (including the Shift Technologies, Inc. Severance Plan for Key Management Employees and that certain Amended and Restated Retention Bonus Agreement dated June 22, 2022) with the Company, Mr. Foy will be entitled to receive the following benefits: (i) a cash payment equal to $361,000, payable in a single lump sum within thirty (30) days following the Effective Date and (ii) payment of COBRA premiums for six (6) months following the Separation Date (to the extent Mr. Foy elects COBRA continuation coverage), less amounts equal to the amount active employees pay for such coverage during such time period, and subject to reduction or elimination if Mr. Foy becomes entitled to duplicative benefits through other employment.

In addition, the Agreement contains a general waiver and release of claims by Mr. Foy in favor of the Company. Mr. Foy will be subject to certain restrictive covenants following his termination of employment with the Company. Mr. Foy’s transition is not the result of any disagreements over the Company’s business, operations, or strategic direction

Director Resignations

On August 4, 2022, each of George Arison and Kellyn Smith Kenny, members of the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of the Company, informed the Company of their decision to resign as a director of the Company, effective August 7, 2023. Mr. Arison served as a Class III director and a member of the Finance Committee of the Board. Ms. Smith Kenny served as a Class I director and a member of the Leadership Development, Compensation and Governance Committee of the Board. Each of Mr. Arison’s and Ms. Smith Kenny’s decision to resign from the Board was not the result of any disagreement relating to the Company’s operations, policies or practices. After giving effect to the foregoing director resignations of Mr. Arison and Ms. Smith Kenny from the Board, the Board consists of seven (7) directors and three (3) vacancies.

In addition, following the effectiveness of Mr. Arison’s and Ms. Smith Kenny’s resignation from the Board, on August 7, 2023, the Board, by unanimous written consent, decreased the size of the Board to seven (7) directors, apportioned among the three classes as follows: two (2) in Class I, three (3) in Class II and two (2) in Class III, in accordance with and as permitted by the Company’s Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, thereby eliminating the vacancies on the Board resulting from the resignations of Mr. Arison and Ms. Smith Kenny from the Board.

2023 Restructuring Plan

On July 11, 2023, the Company announced a plan to restructure and reduce its workforce (the “2023 Restructuring Plan”), pursuant to which the Company will focus all resources on its omnichannel used auto operations and cease investment into the Company’s dealer marketplace business. The 2023 Restructuring Plan is part of the Company’s broader efforts to improve cost efficiency and better align its operating structure with its omnichannel sales operations as the Company continues to evaluate strategic alternatives to maximize stockholder value. The 2023 Restructuring Plan will result in an estimated workforce reduction of approximately 34%. The 2023 Restructuring Plan and associated workforce reduction were substantially completed by July 11, 2023. As a result of the 2023 Restructuring Plan and associated workforce reduction, we expect to incur approximately $0.9 million in non-recurring restructuring charges, consisting primarily of one-time cash severance payments and related costs.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Policies)

6 Months Ended

Jun. 30, 2023

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Basis of Presentation

Basis of Presentation

Our unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. In the opinion of management, the interim condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, which are normal and recurring in nature, necessary for fair financial statement presentation.

The interim condensed consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the interim condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, condensed consolidated statements of stockholders' equity for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, and condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, and amounts relating to the interim periods included in the accompanying notes to the interim condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited. The unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the audited consolidated financial statements contained in the Company's most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, and in management’s opinion, reflect all adjustments, which are normal and recurring in nature, necessary for the fair financial statement presentation of the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2023, and its results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 and cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022. The results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the fiscal year or any other periods. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related notes for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on March 31, 2023.

At the Company’s Special Meeting of Stockholders held on December 7, 2022, the Company’s stockholders approved a proposal to authorize a reverse stock split of the Company’s Class A common stock, at a ratio within the range of 1-for-5 to 1-for-10. The Board approved a 1-for-10 reverse split ratio, and on March 7, 2023, the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment to its Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Charter Amendment”) to effect the reverse split effective March 8, 2023. All share and per-share amounts have been retrospectively adjusted to reflect the impact of the reverse stock split.

Use of Estimates

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates its estimates and assumptions, including those related to the valuation of vehicle inventory, capitalized website and internal-use software development costs, fair value of Class A common stock, financial instruments, convertible debt, stock-based compensation and income taxes.

Management bases its estimates on historical experience and various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ materially from those estimates.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable are primarily due from auction facilities and partner financial institutions that provide financing to our customers.

The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts that is calculated under the current expected credit loss (“CECL”) model. The CECL model applies to financial assets measured at amortized cost, and requires the Company to reflect expected credit losses over the remaining contractual term of the asset. As the large majority of the Company’s receivables settle within 30 days, the forecast period under the CECL model is a relatively short horizon. The Company uses an aging method to estimate allowances for doubtful accounts under the CECL model as the Company has determined that the aging method adequately reflects expected credit losses, as corroborated by historical loss rates.

Marketable Securities

Marketable SecuritiesThe Company acquired equity and debt security investments as a result of the CarLotz Merger on December 9, 2022. Equity and debt securities are classified as Level 1 and Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy, respectively.

Discontinued Operations

Discontinued Operations

We review the presentation of planned business dispositions in the condensed consolidated financial statements based on the available information and events that have occurred. The review consists of evaluating whether the business meets the definition of a component for which the operations and cash flows are clearly distinguishable from the other components of the business, and if so, whether it is anticipated that after the disposal the cash flows of the component would be eliminated from continuing operations and whether the disposition represents a strategic shift that has a major effect on operations and financial results. In addition, we evaluate whether the business has met the criteria as a business held for sale. In order for a planned disposition to be classified as a business held for sale, the established criteria must be met as of the reporting date, including an active program to market the business and the expected disposition of the business within one year.

Planned business dispositions are presented as discontinued operations when all the criteria described above are met. For those divestitures that qualify as discontinued operations, all comparative periods presented are reclassified in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Additionally, the results of operations of a discontinued operation are reclassified to income from discontinued operations, net of tax, for all periods presented in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. Results of discontinued operations include all revenues and expenses directly derived from such businesses; general corporate overhead is not allocated to discontinued operations.

Fair Value Measurements

Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.

The authoritative guidance on fair value measurements establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy for disclosure of fair value measurements as follows:

Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 — Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

Level 3 — Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires management to make judgments and consider factors specific to the asset or liability. The Company recognizes transfers between the levels as of the actual date of the event or change in circumstances that caused the transfer. There were no transfers between levels during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022.

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued guidance codified in Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2016-13, Financial instruments — Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments ("ASU 2016-13"), and subsequent related ASUs, which amends the guidance on the impairment of financial instruments by requiring measurement and recognition of expected credit losses for financial assets held. This ASU is effective for public and private companies’ fiscal years, and for interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019, and December 15, 2022, respectively. The Company adopted ASU 2016-13 under the private company transition guidance beginning January 1, 2023. The adoption did not materially impact the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements.
