Foolish take
At the end of the second quarter, ACV Auctions was the third-largest holding among 10 in Inflection Point's portfolio. The fund trimmed several positions during the three months ended September. ACV Auctions was the only position that it exited completely during the third quarter.
In August, ACV Auctions announced that it would expand its popular no-reserve sale to four days each week. The expansion allowed the company to record strong growth in spite of an auto dealer wholesale market that hasn't been growing lately. Third quarter revenue grew by 16% year over year.
While ACV Auctions is growing topline sales, it's still losing money on its bottom line. This year, management expects to lose between $21 million and $23 million, on a GAAP basis. On an adjusted basis, full-year losses are expected to land in a range between $2 million and $4 million. The company says it expects the dealer wholesale market to decline by a mid-single-digit percentage year over year in the fourth quarter.
