“Our team has focused on maintaining healthy vehicle inventory, improving F&I per unit and achieving substantial total gross margin improvement sequentially. However, the seasonal improvement in sales volume we had anticipated to occur in the second quarter did not materialize,” CEO John North stated in a release. “On a same-store basis, we saw a decline in both new and used unit volume relative to the first quarter, partially offset by significantly improved gross profit per unit sold reflecting the benefits of the inventory actions we took earlier this year. Our same store F&I was over $5,300 per unit, up 6.9%, despite average selling prices being lower by approximately 17% on a blended basis.
“We have continued to focus on maintaining our healthy inventory position while increasing our efforts to procure more used units directly from consumers as trade-ins on vehicle sales have been off approximately 50% compared to our historical averages,” he continued. “As of today, our new inventory is comprised of 26% model year 2025 units and 69% model year 2024 units, with less than 140 2023 units remaining. Also of note, over 75% of our inventory is towable product, up from 70% at the same time last year.”
Commenting on operational changes since the end of the second quarter, North stated, “Given the current unit sales volume, we have implemented further cost reduction actions in August that should be substantially complete by the end of September. We anticipate these decisions will save approximately $25 million annually. We have also closed our Waller, Texas dealership, and consolidated our retail operations from two locations to one in the Surprise, Arizona market.
“While these decisions are painful, they are necessary,” he continued. “Despite these two store actions, we remain enthusiastic about operating the rest of our best-in-class locations and will continue to adjust our expense structure as necessary to seek to match the revenue opportunities available. We would note that we are not contemplating, nor are we in discussions with counterparties regarding strategic transactions involving significant store divestitures or business combinations at this time.
“As usual, I want to thank our entire team for delivering the improvements in operating results that are within our control and providing exceptional customer experiences as we await the market recovery. We remain confident in the earnings power of our company and look forward to unlocking its full potential as the industry recovers,” North concluded.

Balance Sheet and Strategic Update
After the end of the second quarter, we executed a temporary waiver related to our required financial covenants as of June 30, 2024. This waiver was approved by 100% of the lenders in our syndicated credit facility and provides additional runway to negotiate an amendment to the facility.
Earlier this week, we received a nonbinding commitment from the clients of Coliseum Capital Management to provide an additional $5 million in capital that will be added by increasing the mortgage loan facility we established in December 2023. The terms of the incremental advance are substantially similar to the terms of the existing mortgage loan facility and require no additional collateral to be added to the pool. In connection with the incremental advance, it is contemplated that Lazydays will issue warrants to clients of Coliseum Capital Management to purchase 666,667 shares of common stock at a price of $5.25 per share, subject to certain adjustments.
The special committee of independent directors established by our board of directors was advised by Stoel Rives LLP. Upon review, the special committee unanimously approved the nonbinding commitment to increase to the size of the mortgage loan facility and related warrant issuance.
Additionally, the special committee continues to seek sources of incremental capital from investors and has engaged Miller Buckfire, a Stifel company, to assist in the process. While we remain open to other potential transactions that are in the best interest of our shareholders, at the present time we have determined the most prudent course of action is to focus on strategic financing so that we maintain scale and gain additional flexibility to operate the attractive platform of dealership assets in our portfolio.
As a result of the upcoming expiration of the temporary waiver to our credit facility, we have presented our long-term debt in current portion as of June 30, 2024. We note that to date our lenders have not accelerated any amounts due or made any repayment demands beyond routine amounts required in the normal course of business.
Kelly Porter, Chief Financial Officer, stated, “We appreciate the continued flexibility from our syndicated lenders, as well as the increased support we received from Coliseum. We believe we have adequate liquidity to continue to navigate the current macroeconomic environment.”
