  • General Risk Factors
  • Internal controls over financial reporting.
  • Accounting and reporting policies or practices.
  • The success of our business depends on our ability to source a sufficient supply of assets from sellers to attract and retain active professional buyers, who in turn attract more sellers.
  • If we do not respond to rapid technological changes or continuously upgrade our systems, we could fail to grow our business and our revenue could decrease.
  • We may not realize the anticipated benefits from our continuing initiatives.
  • The information technology and digital marketing improvements that are core to our strategy place a significant strain on our management, operational, financial and other resources.
  • We have vendor contracts with Amazon.com, Inc. in our RSCG segment under which we acquire a significant portion of our purchased inventory, and a disruption in our relationship with Amazon could have a material adverse effect on our revenues and operating results.
  • If we do not retain our senior management and other highly skilled employees, we may not achieve our business objectives.
  • We face intense competition.
  • Our operating results depend on the availability and performance of our marketplace technology, network infrastructure, and transaction processing systems, which leverage public cloud infrastructure. Significant service interruptions or system failures, whether internal or within the broader cloud ecosystem, could negatively affect the demand for our services and our ability to grow our revenue.
  • Our inability to use software licensed from third parties, open-source software, SAAS, and PAAS offerings under current license or contractual terms could interfere with our proprietary rights thereby disrupting our business.
  • Certain aspects of our marketing technology depend on third parties over whom we have no direct control.
  • We are required to maintain the privacy and security of personal and business information amidst multiplying threat landscapes and in compliance with privacy and data protection regulations globally. Failure to do so could damage our business, including our reputation with sellers, buyers, and employees, cause us to incur substantial additional costs, and make us subject to litigation and regulatory action.
  • An interruption in the operations of our buyer and seller support service system or our warehouses could significantly harm our business and operating results.
  • If we fail to accurately predict our ability to sell assets in which we take inventory risk and credit risk our margins may decline.
  • Our quarterly operating results have fluctuated in the past and may do so in the future, which could cause volatility in our stock price.
  • Our stock price has been volatile, and your investment in our common stock could decline in value.
  • The seasonality of our business places increased strain on our operations.
  • If we fail to identify, finance, and integrate acquisitions, our future operating results may be materially adversely affected.
  • Our international operations expose us to several risks.
  • Our international operations expose us to foreign exchange fluctuations that could harm our operations.
  • We may need additional financing in the future, which may not be available on favorable terms, if at all.
  • Decreases in the supply of, demand for, or market values of surplus assets, including used vehicles and real estate, could harm our business.
  • Reliance on Banking Partners and Financial System Stability

  • Certain categories of assets sold on our marketplaces are subject to government restrictions.
  • We may be subject to product liability claims if people or property are harmed by the assets we sell.
  • Unfavorable findings resulting from audit or investigation could subject us to a variety of penalties and sanctions, could negatively impact our future operating results, and could force us to adjust previously reported operating results.
