Management Commentary
“ECD continues to see strong growth as we push
through with our ambitious plans to be the preferred partner in the
classic luxury automotive market. Progress along our growth plan
was evidenced by our 129% increase in revenues to a record $8.9
million and strong gross margins of 31.8% during the second
quarter, which is among industry leaders like Ferrari and other
luxury auto brands,” stated Scott Wallace, CEO & Founder of
ECD. Mr. Wallace continued, “As we move ahead, we will continue
scaling our existing footprint to maximize the business model,
while also looking at growth opportunities in the larger classic
car ecosystem. In 2024, we have expanded our classic car product
line through the acquisition of assets of ‘Brand New Muscle Car’,
adding classic Mustangs, and a licensing agreement with ‘Black Dog
Trading’, which added classic Toyota FJs. We also continue to
enhance our brand through strategic partnerships like our new
collaboration with Turtleback Trailers. Not only are these
opportunities important to our growth plans, but they provide us
the ability to maximize our existing footprint and scale in a
capital efficient manner.”
Full Year 2024 Guidance
The Company is reaffirming their guidance and
expects 2024 revenue to be $33.0 million, representing an increase
of approximately 108% when compared to revenue of $15.1 million in
2023.
Financial Results
Revenue increased 129% to a record $8.9 million
in the second quarter of 2024, compared to $3.9 million in the
second quarter of 2023. The increase was primarily due increased
volume, higher average selling price and increased used vehicle
sales versus a year ago.
Second quarter 2024 gross profit increased
significantly to $2.8 million, or 31.8% of revenue, compared to
$1.2 million, or 31.8% or revenue in the second quarter of
2023.
Operating expenses were $2.7 million in the
second quarter 2024, compared to $1.2 million in the second quarter
2023. The increase in operating expenses was primarily due to
higher general and administrative expenses related to the ongoing
costs of being a public company.
Operating Income improved to $0.1 million,
compared to an operating loss of ($19,000) in the second quarter of
2023. The improvement was primarily due to a higher average selling
price per vehicle and efficiencies in the build process.
Net loss for the second quarter 2024 was ($0.9
million), or $(0.03) per diluted share, compared to net income of
$36,000, or $(0.00) per diluted share in the second quarter of
2023. The change in net loss was primarily the result of interest
expense affiliated with a convertible note.
Adjusted EBITDA improved $0.4 million to $0.4
million in the second quarter 2024, compared to Adjusted EBITDA of
$0.0 million in the second quarter of 2023.
Cash and equivalents on June 30, 2024 were $5.6
million, as compared to $8.1 million on December 31, 2023.

About Non-GAAP Financial
Measures
The Company believes that EBITDA (earnings
before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) is useful to
investors because it is commonly used to evaluate companies on the
basis of operating performance and leverage.
EBITDA is not intended to represent cash flows
for the periods presented, nor have they been presented as an
alternative to operating income or as an indicator of operating
performance and should not be considered in isolation or as a
substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America (“GAAP”). In accordance with SEC Regulation G, the non-GAAP
measurements in this press release have been reconciled to the
nearest GAAP measurement, which can be viewed under the heading
“Reconciliation of Net Income (loss) from Operations to EBITDA” in
the financial tables included in this press release.
