"While Carvana is still growing, our growth is slower than what we originally prepared for in 2022, and we made the difficult decision to reduce the size of certain operations teams to better align with the current needs of the business. "With our costs relatively fixed in the short term, the lower retail unit volume led to higher cost of goods sold per unit." The company also said it believes the used-vehicle market is stable and will average sales of 40 million or more units annually. "All impacted team members will have the opportunity to receive four weeks of pay plus an additional week for every year they have been with Carvana," the company said in a statement. The company made the announcement during a Zoom meeting Tuesday after notifying employees the day before not to come into the office. "People were just freaking out," he said.

The laid-off employees, who are mostly in "operational positions," comprise about 12% of Carvana's workforce. Other companies have attracted bad press after conducting mass layoffs on video platforms, including TripActions' Zoom layoff in 2020 and Better.com's webinar layoff late last year. "You just fired us in a zoom meeting and said 'have a good day' at the end," one Twitter user posted.

Online car dealer Carvana will lay off 12% of its workforce as CEO Ernie Garcia III said the company had overshot its growth strategy.

The company saw the expansion through with low-cost borrowing. The WSJ report notes the macroeconomic factors that have hit the retail market for cars, including inflation, rising interest rates and supply chain hangups. “This strategy worked for us every year until this one.”

Online car dealer Carvana Co. plans to lay off 12% of its workforce after closing a deal to expand operations that forced the company to borrow on onerous ...

Much of the company’s gross profit was booked through accounting for gains on sale from the auto loans it generated before packaging them and selling them onto investors, a practice that made it unique among most of its peers. JPMorgan Chase & Co. and Citigroup Inc., the banks Carvana hired to raise about $3.3 billion for the deal, initially struggled to place bonds and preferred equity at an affordable rate. Carvana’s sales sequentially decreased for the first time ever in the first quarter as it reported a net loss of $260 million. "It has always been the right move to start building for growth well ahead of when we expect it to show up," Mr. Garcia wrote in the email. Carvana CEO Ernie Garcia III said in an email to employees that the company had overshot its growth strategy and would cut around 2,500 workers, centered around the company’s operations. The company’s shares closed Monday at $38.77, 90% off an all-time high of $370.10 hit last August.

The company bet big on growth that didn't come to pass, and is now facing the consequences.

Expansion was fueled with a bevy of loans, and a whole $2.2 billion was spent purchasing the Adesa vehicle auctions business in a recent deal. It seems the company bet too heavily on the strong growth it saw as buyers flocked to the online marketplace as COVID fears scared customers away from brick-and-mortar lots. The CEO's words are cold comfort to those at risk of losing their jobs, with the companywide email coming as a nasty surprise to many. The company's sales don't bode well, either, with the company quoting a loss of $260 million in Q1 this year. The company has just announced plans to lay off 12% of its workers, as reported by the Wall Street Journal. In internal emails viewed by The Drive, Carvana CEO Ernie Garcia III highlighted the conditions that precipitated the layoffs.

West Memphis, AR. — Thousands of Carvana employees across the country got news on Tuesday that they're abruptly being laid off.

It has become clear that the right thing to do for the long term interests of Carvana is something that I believed - and something that I hoped - we would never have to do. We made decisions that we believed were best for the business and for all of us at the time, but with the benefit of hindsight, we surely could have done better. I hope we can each move forward with the self-belief and resiliency that got us through the tough times we faced before. This is a group of people that I have a lot of belief in. “It has become clear that the right thing to do for the long-term interests of Carvana is something that I believed - and something that I hoped - we would never have to do. I hope we will always be a positive part of your story. To serve that purpose, everyone will be receiving communications from your leaders in the next couple hours letting you know whether you have been impacted and providing instructions on next steps. One of our goals is to put people’s minds to rest as quickly as we can. There is so much going on in the world today that I don’t want to pretend to have a full understanding, but it is an understatement to say a lot has changed about our environment. Today we are reducing the size of our team by about 12%. While this might not sound like that many at first, we have become large enough that this is about 2,500 people. Taking those facts together, it has always been the right move to start building for growth well ahead of when we expect it to show up. We built Carvana to deliver better, simpler experiences to our customers by reimagining and building everything from the ground up.

“We believe these decisions, while extremely difficult, will result in Carvana restoring a better balance between its sales volumes and staffing levels and facilitate Carvana returning to efficient growth on its mission to change the way people buy and sell cars,” the company said in the filing. In connection with these “right-sizing initiatives,” Carvana noted that over the next several weeks it will be transitioning operations away from its Euclid, Ohio, reconditioning center and “a few” logistics hubs. Carvana said the workforce reduction is primarily in operational groups in connection with its previously announced plans “to better align staffing and expense levels with sales volumes.”
