Exhibit 99.1

Dear Shareholders,

The second quarter was another exciting quarter for Carvana.

We hit records in every key financial metric, with the scalability and leverage of our model really shining through. We sold over 143,000 retail units, an increase of 41% year-over-year. We achieved over $300 million in Net income and over $600 million in Adjusted EBITDA, an Adjusted EBITDA increase of ~70% year-over-year. And we generated over $500 million of GAAP Operating income, an industry-leading figure that was up ~100% year-over-year.

These numbers once again make us the fastest growing and most profitable automotive retailer, both by significant margins. And for the first time this quarter we are the most profitable not only by Adjusted EBITDA margin, but also by total GAAP Operating income and Net income dollars.

And these results are underpinned by fundamental, durable, and differentiated advantages. We’ve built a superior business model: one that delivers a better customer experience, lowers variable costs through technology and automation, drives higher profitability and greater flexibility through vertical integration, and generates positive feedback as it scales.

For example, over the last year, we have grown selection for our customers by about 50%. We have also integrated 12 ADESA sites with Carvana IRC operations through Q2, giving us more locations to store cars for our customers. Having more locations has allowed us to reduce inbound transport distances by 20% year-over-year. More locations paired with more cars in our system has reduced outbound transport miles by 10%. And the combination of lower miles, better scheduling systems, optimized vehicle routing, and better execution have driven customer delivery times down by 0.7 days year-over-year. This progress is just one example of how our business is continually improving and delivering better experiences as we get bigger.

We have also continued to invest in making our ecommerce experience simpler and easier to use. There are many projects and systems that contribute to this progress, but the proof is in the customer metrics. With a more intuitive process and more answers at their fingertips, customers call in for support less frequently and speak to advocates for less time when they do call in, driving up sales per customer service advocate by 23% year-over-year.

One fun example of the efficiency gains we've achieved comes from a recent customer experience: within just 38 minutes, after receiving an online value for their car, the customer provided requested documentation, completed verifications, dropped the car off at one of our vending machines, and received money in their account. While this is an outlier in terms of speed, it highlights what our technology is capable of and underscores the value of automating the complex, behind-the-scenes tasks that are often overlooked—but are essential to the car buying or selling process and have a dramatic impact on the customer experience.

Another powerful number from our Q2 results is our Operations expense per retail unit of $1,549. This number is down about $150 year-over-year and includes about $300 of warranty expense. This means we are now delivering cars to customer doors nationwide, offering integrated financing, handling customer calls and support, managing trade-ins, facilitating customer title and registration, and maintaining a 7-day return policy for a little over $1,200 per sale. Providing all these services at such a low variable cost is a highly differentiated capability of the Carvana platform.

We still have significant fundamental gains to make from here. We still have many high value opportunities to make our offering simpler, faster, and more fun for our customers. We still have meaningful fixed cost leverage to unlock. We still have the same team working on it that got us here. And despite the record-breaking financials we put up this quarter, we still have just 1.5% of the US used car market and ~1% of the total US car market.

We remain firmly on the path toward our current goal of selling 3 million retail units per year at a 13.5% Adjusted EBITDA margin within 5 to 10 years and to achieving our mission of changing the way people buy and sell cars.

•A sequential increase in retail units in Q3 compared to Q2, and

•G1Adjusted EBITDA2 of $2.0 to $2.2 billion for the full year 2025, an increase from $1.38 billion last year.

Second Quarter Results

Q2 2025 again showcased the power of Carvana's vertically-integrated offering, delivering record performance across numerous key metrics. Retail units sold reached an all-time high of 143,280, increasing 41% year-over-year. Strong demand for our differentiated offering and sustained focus on customer experience continue to support our industry-leading growth.

Revenue in Q2 was $4.840 billion, up 42% year-over-year and a company record. Net income rose $260 million to $308 million, setting a second-quarter record and highlighting the scalability of our differentiated model. GAAP Operating income nearly doubled year-over-year to a record $511 million, and Adjusted EBITDA increased by $246 million to a record $601 million. Net income margin increased 5 points year-over-year to an industry-leading 6.4%, and a second-quarter record. GAAP Operating margin increased 3 percentage points to 10.6% and Adjusted EBITDA margin rose 2 percentage points to 12.4%, both new industry records.

The financial results of Q2 2025 again demonstrate the earnings power of our vertically integrated and differentiated model as we balance growth with disciplined execution and the continued pursuit of fundamental gains. We are proud of what we have achieved in Q2 and excited about what lies ahead as we continue to execute, scale, and progress toward our goal of becoming the largest and most profitable automotive retailer.

Our industry-leading growth and profitability have once again made us the most profitable automotive retailer as measured by Adjusted EBITDA margin:

1All data points are as of Q2 2025 or most recently reported fiscal quarter.

2 In order to clearly demonstrate our progress and highlight the most meaningful drivers within our business, we continue to use forecasted Non-GAAP financial measures, including forecasted Adjusted EBITDA. We have not provided a quantitative reconciliation of forecasted GAAP measures to forecasted Non-GAAP measures within this communication because we are unable, without making unreasonable efforts, to forecast fair value changes or calculate one-time or restructuring expenses. These items could materially affect the computation of forward-looking Net Income (loss). Forecasted results and future objectives may be impacted by factors outside Carvana's control. See "Forward Looking Statements" herein.

With our Q2 results, we now also lead the industry in GAAP Operating income and Net income dollars.

1All data points are as of Q2 2025 or most recently reported fiscal quarter.

Having achieved our goal of becoming the most profitable, we remain confident in our path to becoming the largest and most profitable automotive retailer.

Fundamental Growth Drivers Fueling Our Flywheel

We continue to pair rapid, industry-leading growth with industry-leading profitability. Leading in both growth and profitability has few precedents and is made possible by giving customers an experience that they love while also continuously improving our already efficient business model.

In our Q2 2024 shareholder letter, we discussed three fundamental drivers of our growth: 1) continuously improving the customer experience; 2) increasing awareness, understanding, and trust in our offering; and 3) increasing inventory selection while unlocking other benefits of scale. These drivers reinforce one another in a positive feedback loop that powered our historical growth and the path to our future goals.

One of the areas where we have significantly improved the customer experience over the past 12 months is the simplicity of the ecommerce experience. By streamlining the purchase journey, we’ve made the process so intuitive that 18% more customers now complete their transactions without support from a customer advocate. And for those who do reach out, their support time has decreased by 25%—making the overall experience faster and more efficient.

Another area that we believe we are in the early days of is building awareness, understanding, and trust of our online sales offering. Ecommerce adoption in retail used vehicle sales stands at less than 2% today, compared to ~19% in the non-automotive retail sector. We view marketing as a valuable component of the flywheel, allowing us to educate more customers about the

3

Carvana experience, large selection, and great value that come from our vertically integrated model. As part of this, we plan to increase advertising spend in Q3, including the launch of a new Carvana brand campaign.

Expanding selection and integrating ADESA locations continues to be a key focus. We provide a detailed update on our progress on this key initiative in the next section.

Each growth driver is powerful on its own, but their collective impact is greater than the sum of the parts. The synergies between each driver intensify as our business scales. Delivering a best-in-class customer experience results in more satisfied customers. More satisfied customers generate more positive, organic word-of-mouth and brand awareness, which, when combined with efficient advertising, brings more customers to our website. Additional demand supports a larger inventory, thereby increasing selection across more locations, resulting in faster delivery times through better network utilization, and lower per unit costs. The resulting fundamental gains can then be reinvested in further customer-experience improvements, completing a virtuous cycle that compounds over time fueling ongoing growth.

Last quarter we shared a new management objective: sell 3 million used retail units per year at a 13.5% Adjusted EBITDA margin within 5 to 10 years. This goal relies on a simple conviction: that our success will be determined by our ability to deliver the best experience, the best value, and the best selection. Everything we have achieved over the past decade confirms that conviction, and everything we accomplished in the Q2 2025 strengthens our confidence that the same approach will drive us forward to our new objective.

Update on ADESA Integrations and Digital Auction Expansion

By integrating ADESA locations over the last several quarters, we have expanded the number of locations where we can pool retail inventory and also accelerated our ability to grow reconditioning output. There are many components of the business that need to scale in order to realize our objective of selling 3 million retail units, but increasing production capacity is essential to service demand and increase inventory. In Q2, we integrated 4 more ADESA locations, bringing our total number of ADESA integrations to 12, and total inventory pools to 30, representing a 50% increase year-over-year.

In addition to adding retail reconditioning capabilities to ADESA locations, we are also expanding ADESA Clear, our digital auction product, to more ADESA and Carvana locations. ADESA Clear leverages both ADESA’s extensive wholesale auto expertise and Carvana’s deep technology and merchandising expertise which together create better outcomes for wholesale buyers and commercial sellers. For commercial sellers, the combination of Clear and our auction-IRC network provide a very efficient and unique full service remarketing solution that minimizes costs and maximizes proceeds. For wholesale buyers, Clear offers real-time access to an even wider selection of high quality vehicles and an efficient, intuitive digital bidding and buying process beyond the physical auction. As of Q2, Clear was available at 47 Carvana and ADESA locations.

Summary

We are once again extremely proud of what our team is building and has accomplished.

In Q1 of 2024, we became the most profitable automotive retailer based on Adjusted EBITDA margin for the first time.

In Q2 of 2024, we printed an Adjusted EBITDA margin of 10.4%, which was the most profitable quarter by any automotive retailer in history by that metric. At that point, questions turned to sustainability.

This quarter – just one year later – Adjusted EBITDA margin went up by another 2 percentage points setting a new record for automotive retail. In addition, that progress also pushed us to become, for the first time, the most profitable automotive retailer by GAAP Operating income and Net income dollars.

At different points in Carvana’s life, we have focused our attention on different goals and we have hit those goals.

Today, we are focused on hitting our next goal of selling 3 million cars per year with a 13.5% Adjusted EBITDA margin in the next 5 to 10 years.

And as has always been the case, we plan to get there by continually improving our machine to deliver the best customer experiences available with constantly increasing efficiency.

The march continues,

Appendix I: GPU and SG&A Expense Detail

Year-over-year changes in components of Total GPU and Total SG&A Expense per Unit were driven by the factors outlined below.

Additional Details

Retail Revenue

Retail revenue grew 41% year-over-year, in line with retail units sold. Sequentially, retail revenue per retail unit sold increased to $23,765 in Q2 from $22,256 in Q1, primarily due to an increase in retail average selling prices and a decrease in retail marketplace units as a share of total retail units sold. While growth in retail units is the most important driver of our business, we wanted to provide visibility into our expectation that retail revenue per retail unit sold will increase further in Q3:

1.At the beginning of Q3, we modified the contract structure of our agreement with a large retail marketplace partner so that most retail units acquired from this partner and then sold will receive traditional gross revenue treatment.3 As we have discussed previously, commercial partnerships allow us and our partners to generate fundamental gains from faster transaction timelines and lower costs that are independent of contract structure, which primarily impacts retail revenue per retail unit sold. As we continue to develop partnerships with commercial sellers, we expect these contracts to evolve and take multiple forms over time.

2.We mixed into more expensive vehicles in Q2, driven by second quarter supply and demand trends. We expect the full effect of this mix shift to appear in Q3, which combined with the changes to retail marketplace contract structure above, will lead to a noticeable increase in retail revenue per retail unit sold in Q3.

Total GPU

In April, we saw strong demand following the initial announcement of auto tariffs in late March, resulting in higher-than-normal April Retail GPU. For the full quarter, we estimate that this transitory benefit positively impacted Q2 Retail GPU by ~$100.

GAAP and Non-GAAP Other GPU decreased sequentially by $36 and $41, respectively, primarily as a result of lower origination interest rates, partially offset by higher finance attachment rates and higher average loan sizes, as well as a higher ratio of loan principal sold to loan principal originated vs Q1 2025.

As we execute our multi-year growth plan, we expect to regularly re-optimize the various levers we have at our disposal to achieve our goals as efficiently as possible. We view our business holistically, where each lever interacts with the others. As a result, we are primarily focused on retail units sold and Adjusted EBITDA as our primary financial metrics.

3 In the previous contract structure, our partner held the vehicles in their inventory prior to sale to a retail customer, while in the current structure, we hold the vehicles in our inventory prior to sale to a retail customer. The former receives net revenue treatment with no gross sales revenue or acquisition cost, while the latter receives traditional gross revenue treatment.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

As appropriate, we supplement our results of operations determined in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) with certain non-GAAP financial measurements that are used by management, and which we believe are useful to investors, as supplemental operational measurements to evaluate our financial performance. These measurements should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for reported GAAP results because they may include or exclude certain items as compared to similar GAAP-based measurements, and such measurements may not be comparable to similarly-titled measurements reported by other companies. Rather, these measurements should be considered as an additional way of viewing aspects of our operations that provide a more complete understanding of our business.

We strongly encourage investors to review our consolidated financial statements included in publicly filed reports in their entirety and not rely solely on any one, single financial measurement or communication.

Reconciliations of our non-GAAP measurements to their most directly comparable GAAP-based financial measurements are included at the end of this letter.

(1)Availability under short-term revolving facilities is the available amount we can borrow under the Floor Plan Facility and Finance Receivable Facilities based on the value of pledgeable vehicle inventory and finance receivables on our balance sheet on the period end date. Availability under short-term revolving facilities is distinct from the total commitment amount of these facilities because it represents the amount we are able to borrow as of period end, rather than committed future amounts that could be borrowed to finance future additional assets.

(2)Super senior debt capacity and pari passu senior debt capacity represents basket capacity to incur additional debt that could be senior or pari passu in lien priority as to the collateral securing the obligations under the Senior Secured Notes, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the indentures governing the Senior Secured Notes. The availability of such additional sources depends on many factors and there can be no assurance that financing alternatives will be available to us in the future.

(3)Unpledged beneficial interests in securitizations includes retained beneficial interests in securitizations that have not been previously pledged or sold. We historically have financed the majority of our retained beneficial interests in securitizations and expect to continue to do so in the future.

(4)Our total liquidity potential is composed of cash and cash equivalents, availability under existing credit facilities, additional capacity under the indentures governing our Senior Secured Notes, which allow us to incur additional debt that can be senior or pari passu in lien priority as to the collateral securing the obligations under the Senior Secured Notes, and additional unpledged securities that can be financed using traditional asset-based financing sources.

RECONCILIATION OF GAAP TO NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

(Unaudited)

Adjusted EBITDA; Adjusted EBITDA margin; Gross profit, non-GAAP; Retail gross profit, non-GAAP; Wholesale vehicle gross profit, non-GAAP, Wholesale marketplace gross profit, non-GAAP; Other gross profit, non-GAAP; Total gross profit per retail unit, non-GAAP; Retail gross profit per retail unit, non-GAAP; Wholesale vehicle gross profit per retail unit, non-GAAP; Wholesale marketplace gross profit per retail unit, non-GAAP; Other gross profit per retail unit, non-GAAP; SG&A expenses, non-GAAP; and Total SG&A expenses per retail unit, non-GAAP

The above measures are supplemental measures of operating performance that do not represent and should not be considered an alternative to net income, gross profit, or SG&A expenses, as determined by GAAP.

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income plus income tax provision, interest expense, net, other expense, net, other operating expense, net, depreciation and amortization expense in cost of sales and SG&A expenses, share-based compensation expense in cost of sales and SG&A expenses, and loss on debt extinguishment, minus revenue related to our Root Warrants. Adjusted EBITDA margin is Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of total revenues.

Gross profit, non-GAAP, Retail gross profit, non-GAAP, Wholesale vehicle gross profit, non-GAAP, Wholesale marketplace gross profit, non-GAAP, and Other gross profit, non-GAAP are defined as the respective GAAP gross profits plus depreciation and amortization expense in cost of sales and share-based compensation expense in cost of sales, minus revenue related to our Root Warrants. Total gross profit per retail unit, non-GAAP, Retail gross profit per retail unit, non-GAAP, Wholesale vehicle gross profit per retail unit, non-GAAP, Wholesale marketplace gross profit per retail unit, non-GAAP, and Other gross profit per retail unit, non-GAAP are the respective gross profits, non-GAAP divided by retail vehicle unit sales.

SG&A expenses, non-GAAP is defined as GAAP SG&A expenses minus depreciation and amortization expense in SG&A expenses and share-based compensation expense in SG&A expenses. Total SG&A expenses per retail unit, non-GAAP is SG&A expenses, non-GAAP divided by retail vehicle unit sales.

We use these non-GAAP measures to measure the operating performance of our business as a whole and relative to our total revenues and retail vehicle unit sales. We believe that these metrics are useful measures to us and to our investors because they exclude certain financial, capital structure, and non-cash items that we do not believe directly reflect our core operations and may not be indicative of our recurring operations, in part because they may vary widely across time and within our industry independent of the performance of our core operations. We believe that excluding these items enables us to more effectively evaluate our performance period-over-period and relative to our competitors. These non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures provided by other companies due to potential differences in methods of calculations.

A reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net income, Gross profit, non-GAAP to gross profit, Retail gross profit, non-GAAP to retail gross profit, Wholesale vehicle gross profit, non-GAAP to wholesale vehicle gross profit, Wholesale marketplace gross profit, non-GAAP to wholesale marketplace gross profit, Other gross profit, non-GAAP to other gross profit, and SG&A expenses, non-GAAP to SG&A expenses, which are the most directly comparable GAAP measures, and calculations of Adjusted EBITDA margin, Total gross profit per retail unit, non-GAAP, Retail gross profit per retail unit, non-GAAP, Wholesale vehicle gross profit per retail unit, non-GAAP, Wholesale marketplace gross profit per retail unit, non-GAAP, Other gross profit per retail unit, non-GAAP, and Total SG&A expenses per retail unit, non-GAAP is as follows:

Underlines use the same word lists the scores use. AI, recession and tariffs follow Palanor’s word counter, so those counts match it exactly on the same text. Layoffs and buybacks use the terms the model was given. The model’s count is an estimate by meaning, not by string, so it can differ from the underlines.
