Reduces cash interest expense by approximately $45 million per year on a leverage-neutral basis
PHOENIX — Carvana (NYSE: CVNA), the leading e-commerce platform for buying and selling cars, today announced the successful upsize and pricing of a Senior Secured Term Loan B Facility in an aggregate principal amount of $1.66 billion (the “Term Loan B”). The company intends to use proceeds from the Term Loan B, together with cash on hand, to redeem in full the Company’s 9.00% Senior Secured Notes due 2030.
Over the past 10 quarters, Carvana has generated industry-leading growth and industry-leading profitability. The company’s performance and opportunistic capital structure improvements have resulted in its strongest-ever financial position. As of Q2 2026, Carvana’s net debt to trailing twelve-month Adjusted EBITDA ratio was 1.0x. This transaction further strengthens Carvana’s financial position by replacing the Company’s nearest maturity secured notes with longer-dated and lower-cost financing, extending the Company’s debt maturity profile and reducing cash interest expense by approximately $45 million per year over the next four years.
The Term Loan B priced at one-month Term SOFR + 225 basis points and was issued at 99.75% of the principal amount. The Term Loan B will mature seven years after the date of closing.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement the consolidated financial measures, which are prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP, we also refer to the following non-GAAP measures in this press release: Adjusted EBITDA and net debt.
Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income plus (minus) income tax (benefit), interest expense, net, other operating expense, net, other 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 Warrants.
Net debt is defined as total debt less cash and cash equivalents.
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.
