Management Commentary
“While revenue trends remain favorable when viewed on a two-year basis, year-over-year revenue declined in Q3 across our core business and new verticals. Site traffic has moderated from record levels during the height of the pandemic last year and supply chain disruptions impacted product availability and put added pressure on margins.” said Nino Ciappina, Chief Executive Officer of PARTS iD. “Our real-time, multi-sourced inventory model is helping us overcome part of the supply chain disruption by enabling us to source products from secondary and tertiary sources. In addition, we are starting to pass a portion of the increased costs through to our customers, while still focusing on maintaining price competitiveness in the market. Furthermore, we remain focused on positioning the Company for long-term, profitable growth. To accelerate market share gains and further penetrate newer verticals including Motorcycles and Powersports, Boating and Marine, and RV and Campers, we are strengthening our leadership teams, bolstering our vendor relationships, and investing in new marketing programs. We remain committed to unlocking the full potential of our technology driven, capital-efficient business model designed to deliver long term profitable growth and increased value to our shareholders.”
Third Quarter 2021 Financial Results
Third quarter 2021 net revenue decreased 16.7% to $102.6 million, compared to $123.2 million in the third quarter of 2020. This decrease was primarily attributable to a 28.9% decline in traffic and continued increased cancellations due to the supply chain disruptions. These declines were partially offset by a 8.9% increase in the site conversion rate and a 11.3% increase in average order value.
Gross profit for the third quarter of 2021 decreased to $20.3 million compared to $27.5 million in the same prior year period. Gross margin was 19.8% for the third quarter of 2021 compared to 22.3% in the third quarter of 2020. The decrease in gross margin was primarily attributable to a year-over-year increase in product and shipping costs associated with the ongoing global supply chain disruptions.
Operating expenses were $24.5 million for the third quarter of 2021 compared to $21.5 million for the third quarter of 2020. The increase in operating expenses was primarily attributable to higher share-based compensation expense of $2.0 million and $1.1 million in costs associated with being a public company, both of which the Company did not incur in the third quarter of 2020. Operating expenses as a percent of net revenue were 23.9% compared to 17.4% in the same prior year period.
Operating loss for the third quarter of 2021 was $4.2 million compared to operating income of $6.0 million for the third quarter of 2020.
Net loss for the third quarter of 2021 was $3.3 million compared to net income of $4.8 million in the same prior year period.
Adjusted EBITDA was negative $0.1 million in the third quarter of 2021 compared to positive $8.2 million in the same prior year period.
First Nine Months 2021 Financial Results
Net revenue for the first nine months of 2021 increased 11.2% to $342.1 million, compared to $307.8 million in the same period of 2020. This increase was primarily attributable to a 16.1% increase in the site conversion rate and a 12.9% increase in average order value, partially offset by a 16.5% decline in traffic and, as stated previously, net revenues were adversely impacted by increased cancellations in the third quarter.
Gross profit for the first nine months of 2021 increased 3.6% to $69.3 million compared to $66.8 million in the same prior year period. Gross margin for the first nine months of 2021 was 20.2% compared to 21.7% in the same 2020 period. The decrease in gross margin was attributable to a year-over-year increase in product and shipping costs associated with the ongoing global supply chain disruptions.
Operating expenses were $73.5 million for the first nine months of 2021 compared to $58.9 million for the first nine months of 2020. The increase in operating expenses was primarily attributable to higher advertising expenses of $6.1 million aimed at driving website traffic and increasing brand awareness, as well as $3.3 million of share-based compensation expense and $3.3 million in costs associated with being a public company, both of which the Company did not incur in the first nine months of 2020. Operating expenses as a percent of net revenue were 21.5% compared to 19.1% in the same prior year period.
Operating loss for the first nine months of 2021 was $4.2 million compared to operating income of $7.9 million for the first nine months of 2020.
Net loss for the first nine months of 2021 was $3.4 million compared to net income of $6.2 million in the same prior year period.
Adjusted EBITDA was $5.3 million in the first nine months of 2021 compared to $14.4 million in the same prior year period.
Balance Sheet
As of September 30, 2021, the Company had cash of $23.5 million compared to $22.2 million at December 31, 2020. The increase in cash was primarily driven by net cash provided by operating activities of $7.0 million, partly offset by cash used in investing activities of $5.7 million, primarily related to website and software development expenditures.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release includes non-GAAP financial measures that differ from financial measures calculated in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). These non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similar measures reported by other companies and should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, other measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. Management uses non-GAAP financial measures internally to evaluate the performance of the business. Additionally, management believes certain non-GAAP measures provide meaningful incremental information to investors to consider when evaluating the performance of the Company.
To this end, we provide EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, which are non-GAAP financial measures. EBITDA consists of net income (loss) plus (a) interest expense; (b) income tax provision (or less benefit); and (c) depreciation expense. Adjusted EBITDA consists of EBITDA plus costs, fees, expenses, write-offs and other items that do not impact the fundamentals of our operations, as described further below following the reconciliation of these metrics. Management believes these non-GAAP measures provide useful information to investors in their assessment of the performance of our business. The exclusion of certain expenses in calculating EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA facilitates operating performance comparisons on a period-to-period basis as these costs may vary independent of business performance. Accordingly, we believe that EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA provide useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our operating results in the same manner as our management and board of directors.
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA have limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider these measures in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations are:
- Although depreciation is a non-cash charge, the assets being depreciated may have to be replaced in the future, and EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect cash capital expenditure requirements for such replacements or for new capital expenditure requirements;
- EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect changes in our working capital;
- EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect income tax payments that may represent a reduction in cash available to us;
- EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect depreciation and interest expenses associated with the lease financing obligations; and
- Other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate Adjusted EBITDA differently, which reduces its usefulness as a comparative measure.
Because of these limitations, you should consider EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA alongside other financial performance measures, including various cash flow metrics, net income (loss) and our other GAAP results.
Reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are included in this press release.

We are involved in routine IP litigation, commercial litigation and other various litigation matters.

Litigation matters can vary in their characteristics, frequency and significance to our operating results. |
