"Our performance in the first quarter was largely in line with our expectations, with a significant year over year performance improvement as traction began on Vision 2026 in a tough macro environment,” says Mike Kennedy, RumbleOn's Chief Executive Officer of the Q1 financials. “As anticipated, the industry dynamics remain challenging; however, our strength as an aligned and experienced team delivered impressive results as we drive our Company turnaround," he continued. Through its family of RideNow dealerships, RumbleOn retailed 10,503 new units and 5,000+ pre-owned products in Q1 2024.
"In the first quarter, we delivered $5.2 million of operating income — a significant improvement from last year's operating loss,” notes Kennedy. “And $11.7 million of Adjusted EBITDA, an 8.3% improvement over last year's performance."
