Now, I would like to turn the call over to Michael Bor, Co-founder and Chief Executive Officer of CarLotz. Thank you, Susan. Good afternoon, everyone. Thank you for joining us to discuss our third quarter 2021 results. I want to start by saying that despite the headwinds we have faced this year from an inventory standpoint, I'm encouraged by what our team has accomplished, both during the quarter and year to date. During the third quarter, we achieved record revenue of $68 million, more than double our revenue last year. This 128% growth in revenue was supported by more than doubling our hub footprint, a 58% increase in units sold, and a 190% increase in F&I revenue versus last year. We started this year with exciting growth objectives for our hub footprint, brand awareness, and technology transformation, all to create more value for our stakeholders through our unique consignment business model. The significant industry disruption caused by the ongoing chip shortage and the compression in the typical margin between wholesale and retail pricing in the first half of the year, however, caused us to make several tactical changes. Even with these challenges, we have accomplished a great deal. First, we more than doubled our hub base, opening 12 units year- to- date for a current total of 20 versus only eight at the start of the year. During the third quarter specifically, we opened large hubs in Denver, St. Louis, and Atlanta. Fourth quarter to date, we've opened hubs in Plano, Texas, and Pomona, California, and have a couple more that we have announced but not yet opened this year. While we've increased the number of hubs by 150% year to date, we have increased our inventory capacity by 226% with these larger hubs. Second, we hired many talented teammates to build out new expertise in areas like product development, while also expanding our finance, technology, and marketing proficiencies. We also hired many talented teammates in the hubs who have been on the front line supporting lead conversion, unit sales, and driving significant growth in F&I. We're proud of the fact that in the midst of one of the greatest U.S. labor shortages, we are more than 90% staffed as we continue to grow. Third, we have launched a marketing campaign designed to increase the awareness of our brand and focus on our consignment business model. As we enter new markets, most people don't know the CarLotz name, nor do they know what consigning their car for more money could even mean for them. It's been challenging and fun to introduce our unique business model and value proposition to the markets around the country and watch it grow. Fourth, we have continued our technology transformation, focusing on increasing consumer engagement and improving the functionality of our website. There's certainly more to do on the technology roadmap. We are focused on enhancing the user experience and increasing conversions. Lastly, we've been flexible in how we source inventory to navigate consignment headwinds and appropriately stock our hubs. While we still can't predict when things will be back to normal, I'm encouraged by the sequential improvement of units sourced non-competitively each month during the quarter and into the fourth quarter, and anecdotally have seen signs that the chip shortage is getting the attention it deserves from the companies that can work to solve the problem. Now let me elaborate on sourcing, given its importance to our business model. As you'll recall, in Q2, one of our top accounts paused consigning inventory to us as we were also seeing a compression in the margin between retail and wholesale prices that significantly affected the inflow of vehicles from our traditional sources, which necessitated increased auction sourcing to fill up our hubs with inventory. As we worked to improve all of our sourcing channels in the face of this adversity, we have made progress in lessening our reliance on auctions to source vehicles. While monthly sourcing can vary based on seasonality and growth needs, in June, about 70% of our inventory inflow was being sourced at auction, while in October, that number was less than 50%. In part, the increase in units sourced non-competitively this past quarter is a result of new accounts, the rekindling of a prior account, and the wholesale retail pricing environment making consignment more attractive than in the recent past. As we mentioned on our last call, the partner who paused our relationship during the height of the wholesale pricing disruption has returned and is now consigning again, accounting for about 10% of our sourcing volume in October. In addition, we have added new corporate partners to our sourcing mix, while seeing more corporate sourcing partner pilots in Q3 than in Q2. Also emerging from a sourcing perspective is the increase in units sourced from consumers through consignment, trade-ins, and purchases. This is a primary focus for us, given the attractive variety of inventory, faster sell-through, and the relatively higher GPU generated from these units. As our name recognition and our brand grow in our new markets, combined with the efforts we are placing on growing consumer sourcing, we anticipate continuing to see unit growth in consumer-sourced vehicles going forward. While our non-competitively sourced inventory has improved incrementally in Q3 versus Q2, the inventory purchased at auction during the last two quarters pressured retail GPU during Q3 and resulted in an increased inventory reserve for owned inventory at the lower of cost or market. Historically, we have not needed a significant reserve because the majority of our units have been consigned versus owned. With the shift over the last two quarters to more owned units and the associated price depreciation on these units owned, we increased our inventory reserve. The factors that caused the increase were as follows. First, we purchased a significant amount of inventory at auction while wholesale prices were high. These auction units can be less desirable than commercial or consumer-sourced vehicles and can experience higher depreciation and longer days to sell. In addition, we purchased vehicles at higher price points than our historical average. These factors have resulted in the average age of our inventory increasing and the increase in the reserve. As you may know, the gross profit used to calculate retail GPU includes the lower of cost or market reserve booked on inventory still on our balance sheet and divides it by the retail units sold during the third quarter. Including the increase in the inventory reserve of $935,000 recorded in Q3, our retail GPU was $939. Excluding the increase in the inventory reserve, our adjusted retail GPU for the units actually sold in Q3 was $1,015. As Tom will discuss, we expect the retail GPU to improve in Q4 versus Q3. While inventory continues to age into Q4, we are making good progress in selling the aged units this quarter, along with the newer inventory we are sourcing, and see that through the retail and wholesale channels, we should be able to reduce our aged inventory to more normalized levels over the next several months. The offset to these pressures on retail GPU is our strong back end profitability. Like Q2, we saw significant growth in F&I. As we mentioned on our last call, we have seen increased penetration and an increase in contribution dollars from several F&I products as we increased training, enhanced our technology, and added new products and services. We are extremely pleased with these results and look to continue this momentum in Q4 by adding several financing partners who will help us to better serve our guests who find themselves at the lower end of the credit spectrum. Previously, without the right products to serve these guests, they have the lowest conversion rates while accounting for the majority of the credit profiles submitted at our hubs and online. With more diverse financing options, we expect to better meet the needs of more guests, which we expect will improve conversion rates. Some of these financing partners have just come on board, and more will be added during Q4 2021 and early Q1 2022. Even with the industry disruption we have experienced this year, I remain optimistic about the long-term opportunity of our consignment business model to drive long-term value for all of our stakeholders. As we said on our Q2 call, we have not seen a structural change in the industry that would prevent us from returning to that model when the market normalizes. We are making investments across all aspects of our business that will allow us to be in an even better position when the industry emerges from the chip shortage. As you know, we have invested in expanding our hub footprint in both new markets and fill-in markets this year. These new hubs are larger and have more processing capacity than our mature hubs, allowing us to do more work in-house and address inefficiencies in the process. While finding corporate consignment units has been more difficult due to the industry challenges, our retail remarketing team has done a great job of maintaining our current corporate sourcing partnerships, establishing new relationships, and increasing the number of pilots. These relationships are core to our business model and will be a crucial factor in allowing us to further increase our consignment mix as the market allows. I would be remiss if I didn't discuss our marketing initiatives. We have increased our marketing investment in key geographies and launched our first major brand campaign, which aims to debunk preconceived notions about pre-owned vehicles and remind people that it feels good to be a used car person. It's a big platform that allows us to increase brand awareness and help introduce people to our unique offering. The team will build on this campaign by focusing on the quality of leads and driving conversion. All of our initiatives and investments are in place to provide the best used car customer experience through our differentiated business model. We look forward to executing on our growth plan to achieve this goal. I'll now turn the call over to Tom to present our financial results. Tom? Thanks, Mike. For full details regarding our financial results, please refer to our press release available in the investor relations section of our website. For the third quarter, revenues were $68 million, an increase of 128% versus last year. Retail unit sales were 2,490, an increase of 58% versus last year. For the year-to-date period, revenue increased 115%, and unit sales grew 60% as compared to the same nine-month period in 2020. Revenue growth was driven by F&I revenue up 190%, new hub growth of 125%, and ASP growth of 34% year-over-year during Q3. Gross profit was $2 million for the quarter. Gross profit was negatively impacted by lower front-end profits on owned vehicles, primarily driven by the large volume of auction purchases in Q2 and Q3, which are now aging into and through Q4, given the macro industry challenges already discussed and the increase in the inventory reserve of $935,000. These headwinds were offset by the significant increase in F&I profits. Including the increase in the inventory reserve, retail GPU was $939. Excluding the increase in the inventory reserve, reflecting the GPU on just the units sold in the quarter, adjusted retail GPU was $1,315. Third quarter SG&A expense, excluding stock compensation and depreciation, was $24.8 million. The increase in SG&A versus last year is primarily due to an increase in compensation expense related to the increase in support staff and hub employees to support our growth strategy. The increase in SG&A is also driven by technology and marketing expenses. Net loss for the third quarter was $3.5 million, versus a loss of $500,000 for the same period last year. Q3 adjusted EBITDA loss was $22.8 million, versus a loss of $571,000 for the same period last year. Now, turning to the balance sheet. At quarter end, our cash and marketable securities were $201 million, which continues to provide us with flexibility. We continue to utilize our $40 million floor plan to support our vehicle purchases. At the end of Q3, we had $24 million outstanding under the floor plan. Now, moving to inventory and the inventory reserve. As Mike explained earlier, until Q2 of this year, our inventory was primarily consignments. Our inventory reserves were insignificant until Q3, when our inventory composition became mostly owned versus consigned. Our owned inventory valuation has been impacted by a couple of factors. First, we purchased a significant amount of inventory from auctions when wholesale prices were rising. These units purchased at auction can be less desirable than non-competitively sourced units. As a result, we are seeing price depreciation in addition to longer days to sell on these auction-purchased units. Secondly, unl ike Q2, we have a higher percentage of units at meaningfully higher price points, which can take longer to sell, and from an absolute dollar perspective, are impacted more by depreciation. These factors resulted in the age of inventory and the inventory reserve increasing in Q3. Going forward, we do not expect large shifts towards owned inventory, therefore, we do not expect large increases in our inventory reserve. We are managing our inventory more efficiently with the goal of ending the year with a significantly improved aged inventory profile and ready for the seasonally higher first quarter. While we have provided some qualitative guidance today, given the continued uncertainty regarding our supply chain, we are not issuing comprehensive guidance at this time. We expect to provide guidance on our Q4 call in March of 2022. In summary, we expect sequential quarterly improvement in retail units sold and retail GPU in Q4. We will continue to be judicious with our corporate spend and how we allocate capital to maintain flexibility and manage through the continued disruptive market conditions, we expect to have fewer hub openings in 2022 than in 2021. Our 2022 hub opening schedule should enable us to have a greater focus on the productivity and growth of our existing hub footprint. I will now turn the call back over to Mike for closing comments and Q&A. Thanks, Tom. In summary, while the chip shortage has certainly caused unprecedented disruption across the industry, we are focused on maximizing the returns on our significant investments made this year, leveraging the assets we already have in place, offering the best customer experience in the industry, and building awareness of the CarLotz name and what consignment means. We look forward to returning to a predominantly consignment business model as the chip shortage is resolved. We'll now take your questions. Operator? Thank you. As a reminder, to ask a question, you will need to press star one on your telephone. To withdraw your question, just press the pound key. Please stand by while we compile the Q&A roster. Your first question comes from the line of Gary Prestopino from Barrington Research. Please proceed with your question. Good afternoon, Mike, Tom. How are you? Doing well, thanks. Doing good. Good. Mike, just a couple of questions here. You know, in terms of, Are you also still experiencing some issues with getting the cars ready for sale and through, you know, onto the sites and onto the website, like you had experienced earlier this year? You know, the used car market is just so hot right now. I'm just trying to understand why you're getting, you know, depreciation in the prices when everything seems to be flying off the shelves. Yeah. Getting, getting the cars ready for sale has, you know, when we started the year and we're launching as many new hubs as we did, was challenging for us as we were trying to hire up teammates to run our new processing centers, and getting the technology and the equipment in place very quickly. I would say over the course of the year, as we've hired awesome people, built the technology, gotten new equipment, and our new startup hubs have, you know, matured, our time to get a car ready for sale has come down meaningfully at our new hubs, and our legacy hubs have been performing well on the, you know, the time it takes to get cars ready for sale. To answer the second part of your question. actually, also, you know, we have also been bringing cars in in a much steadier cadence so that the hubs are not kind of overwhelmed with large buckets of inventory like they were in Q2 and earlier in the year. The cars that we sourced in Q2 and in Q3 as a result of the temporary pause of one of our top accounts, in addition to seeing a lot less consignment volume due to the wholesale-retail pricing inversion, we were, you know, then forced to buy cars at auction at a time when cars going through auction were frankly not the most desirable vehicles. We brought on a lot of vehicles that while, you know, the a desirable vehicle was selling very quickly for a great price, not all vehicles are built the same, not all vehicles have the same trim level, and there were some vehicles through Q3 and really bleeding into Q4 a bit, that are just taking longer to sell. We're seeing that as we bleed through that early inventory that came in, and then combining it with the inventory that we're getting nowadays, shifting a little bit more to consignment and non-competitively sourced inventory, we're seeing all of that improve. Okay. In terms of some of these accounts or this legacy account coming back to you as well as you're getting some new accounts on the commercial side, one would assume that they're not getting the desired results from the auction side of the business. Is that, you know, more or less the case, they're not getting the price realization that they thought they could? Well, you know, in a normal environment, or even close to normal, retail will be higher than wholesale. You know, what we've seen in the first nine years of being in business, and then since, you know, the early part of this year, is there is a gap between wholesale and retail, and that's really the value that we add. In Q2, when, you know, many were seeing that in some cases, wholesale prices were above retail, it was very difficult to make the decision to send a car that needs to be remarketed to retail. We have not seen it inverted, you know, wholesale higher than retail. We have seen, you know, over the last several months that the gap between wholesale and retail has been, even in the last several months, has been more volatile than we would like to see. We're definitely able to show our accounts lift over what they could make at wholesale. You know, we're looking forward to a time when that, you know, becomes a little more stable with our accounts. It, you know, it drives a lot of value to them when they can send us vehicles and make, you know, $1,000 plus over wholesale. Okay. Thank you. You're welcome. Thank you. Your next question comes from the line of Emmanuel Rosner from Deutsche Bank. Please proceed with your question. Thank you very much. My first question is around the environment you're seeing for this consignment model. I think some of your earlier remarks suggested that you're seeing at least sequentially some improvements there. I just wanted to know if you could give us a little bit more color there. Obviously, wholesale, you know, prices continue to reach new records. I guess what are you seeing that are sort of improving conditions for the consignment model? Yeah. At the end of the day, it really comes from a couple different sources. One, we have legacy accounts that have been working with us for many years. There was a period earlier in the year where they really had to think hard about sending a vehicle to retail because the wholesale prices were increasing at such a dramatic rate. Now, eventually, the retail price adjusts, and there's a gap between wholesale and retail, and that's where we add value. You know, in Q2, we saw our commercial account inflows as low as 10% of the vehicles that we were sourcing. That was kind of mid-year. Ever since then, we've seen, you know, significant improvements over that. As we've mentioned in our remarks, less than 50% of our vehicles now are sourced through competitive channels. We're getting much more now than we were getting earlier in the year. We're getting less at, from the auction and more from our commercial accounts and also seeing nice improvements in consumer-sourced vehicles. And that's because we're starting to be able to provide, you know, significant value to these accounts who have vehicles that they otherwise would have sent to auction if the gap between wholesale and retail was too narrow. Understood. I guess just digging a little bit deeper, on the sourcing part, and maybe a little anecdotally, but we've noticed a decent ramp of Tesla vehicles on the CarLotz website during September and October, and they seem to be concentrated in, like, two hubs near one another in California. In light of this geographic concentration and very quick ramp in units, are you able to comment on whether these are consigned or, you know, owned by the company, and if they're coming from a fleet manager or are they coming from Tesla? Any color you're able to provide on how you're dealing with this sourcing. Sure. Well, you know, we, like many, are very excited about this transition to EVs over time, we're seeing it. You know, our guests, people who buy cars from us, have great demand for electric vehicles. We think it's, you know, it's gonna play a big part in the future of transportation. As we've managed through this year, we've picked up some great new accounts, a couple of which, well, one specifically, began sending us, it's a financing company, began sending us two or three or four-year-old Teslas, a bunch of different models just to test out what the results could be. The company was on the West Coast. It was, or these vehicles were on the West Coast. We, at the time, in California, only had our Bakersfield hub open, and so we used our Bakersfield hub as the testing ground for this account. They saw very good results from the first many that we sold for them, both in terms of lift and days to sell. They started sending us more and more vehicles. Now we opened our Pomona location a few weeks ago and started sending some there. Because the results have been great, we've started to actually send them around the country, which is one of the benefits that we talked about when we talked about geographic expansion being a key part of our growth strategy, is that it makes it really attractive for sellers of vehicles, our clients, to be able to spread their inventory around the country. Even though there's, you know, a meaningful cost to ship a vehicle from California to Chicago, Texas, Florida, they're seeing tremendous lift on the sale of these vehicles. We're sending truckloads around the country so that we can spread this inventory around and generate more eyeballs on their vehicles. It's been a great new account for us. We're very excited about it. We see a bright future for our relationship with this new account. I guess, so my understanding, is these are consigned vehicles. Is that right? They are consigned vehicles, that's right. Okay. What would be a successful outcome of this partnership? Could the inventory from this account grow significantly? Yeah. No, I mean, they have a lot of vehicles. They manage all types of vehicles, so it's not just Teslas. They've been, you know, they're a financing company. They just have a specialty in two, three-year-old Teslas. They've been bringing us other vehicles as well. They've been testing some of their repossessed vehicles as well. You know, we're really kind of excited about this account branching out. Most of their vehicles are on the West Coast, so unless we see the types of the kind of lift, the magnitude of lift that we're seeing on the Teslas across other vehicle types, they'll probably stay on the West Coast or close to it. You know, we have 2 locations in California. We have a location in Seattle, and we've announced some other and Denver, and we've announced some other locations that are kind of west of the Rockies. Probably most of the inventory will stay in that region. To the extent we can show significant lift, we'll be spreading those vehicles around the country. Great. Thank you very much. You're welcome. Thank you. The next question comes from the line of Sharon Zackfia from William Blair. Please proceed with your question. Hi. Good afternoon. I'm sorry I missed the first part of the call because I was on hold for quite a bit trying to get in. Hopefully I'm not asking something that you've already answered. In terms of the pullback on hub openings in 2022, are you already fully committed with leases? I mean, are there any financial ramifications from dialing that down a bit? Can you give us any metrics on how many leases you have signed at this point? Yeah. you know, the process of opening hubs is, as you know, is a many month process. It can be many years, frankly, in some cases. in many cases, we have leases that we've scheduled to open, you know, as you know, throughout the rest of this year and into next year. We're not pulling back from any commitments that we've made to date. We're excited about the hubs that we have planned for the rest of this year and into next year. you know, this year was a dramatic growth year for us, opening 12 so far with a few more on the way. Next year will also be a big growth year for us, just not as big as it was in terms of new hub openings as we saw this year. We'll have more information on, you know, the new hub rollout plan, early next year when we talk about the full year. That's helpful. Did you comment at all on the kind of customer response to the kind of more pervasive multimedia ad campaigns that you've been having? I know I've seen a lot of billboards in the Chicago area, so I'm just curious on if you have any metrics on how that's been driving either traffic to the website or traffic into the stores and how you're analyzing the ROI on that? We've seen, in terms of like unaided awareness and site visits, we've seen an increase. Unique visitors are up 31%, for example. Probably still too early to tell. We've gotten anecdotally very positive feedback from guests who, you know, are starting to understand what it is that we do. It's exciting, and we think it's a campaign that really kind of makes sense to people. It allows them to understand what it is that we do, gain a lot of pride in being a used car person, which obviously historically has had negative connotations. We're pretty excited about rolling it out. It's being rolled out in certain markets. You know, obviously you've seen it in Chicago. So far, we're excited about the early results. Okay. Thank you. Thank you. Once again, if you have a question, just press star and then one on your telephone keypad. The next question comes from the line of Karen Short from Barclays. Please proceed with your question. Hi. Thanks. Just I wanted to see if you could give a little update on timing with respect to getting a car actually ready for sale like today versus what it would have been earlier in the year. Wondering if you could just give a little bit of color in terms of Finance and Insurance. Obviously that improved significantly, so a little color on that. Sure. Well, you know, over the last year, I'll say we had big inflows of vehicles that were not evenly they weren't coming in at a regular cadence, so we had kind of surges of inventory that definitely slowed us down. That was when we had eight hubs at the end of last year and very early part of this year. Over the course of this year, we did several things to ensure that we can take in the volume of inventory that we need to hit, you know, to grow like we want to grow. That was really a few things. One, it was hiring, you know, very talented people in our processing centers that can process vehicles quickly and know what to do. Two, it was some technology back end. Three was the equipment that we've put into these hubs that enable more and more of our work to be done in-house versus outsourced. That's all kind of internal. You know, with our inventory team and working with our consigners, we're working very hard to spread the inventory evenly over the hubs and ensure that we don't have huge inflows of inventory that bog down any one processing center. With new processing centers, it's always going to be a little slower than with ones that have been around for a while, just kind of, you know, just like anything new needs a little bit of time to get the processes working well. As a lot of these hubs that we open this year mature, we're starting to see the time required to get a vehicle ready for sale coming down. At our mature hubs, you know, we like to get a vehicle up on the website ready for sale definitely within seven days. We obviously have anomalies. We have vehicles that can be ready in a day or two, and others that take a little bit longer given, you know, certain reconditioning needs. At our new hubs, you know, when we start out, we're probably, you know, well, quite a bit more than that, but very quickly, we are shooting for that one-week turnaround time on average. Obviously, with different needs, determining how long it takes for any specific car. We're, you know, we're seeing that, as a result of our investments in people, technology, equipment, and then, ensuring that the inventory is spread out evenly, that we're able to process these vehicles quickly so that we can get them sold quickly. Okay. Oh, I'm sorry, on the F&I. Yep. Yep. No. Yeah. Earlier this year when we launched our new website, the online experience made it so that learning about your financing and figuring out, you know, the back end became more intuitive and easier. That in addition to training and working very closely with our F&I vendors has, as you can tell, increased our F&I both penetration and the profitability that we make on the back. It's a huge benefit to us and supports our GPU in a great way. We see that continuing to improve. Okay. Just one other for me. I know you've been pretty consistently saying fewer hubs in 2022, but is there any way to kind of help us frame that? I mean, we have eight models type of thing, but any color on that would be helpful. Yeah. The full, you know, the full plan for 2022, we'll talk about it more, you know, when we, when we talk about the year. We have, you know, we have hubs that we've already announced that are not going to be opening this year. We have a few more this year, but we have several that we've announced that are, you know, will be next year. The Q1 plan, you know, is like internally is baked. We'll talk about the full year rollout when we talk to you again at early part of the year. Okay. Thank you. Thank you. The next question comes from the line of Gary Prestopino with Barrington Research. Please go ahead. Yeah. Just some follow-up questions here. I mean, Michael, not the commercial consignment, the consumer consignment model, how is that being accepted with the retail sellers? I mean, are you starting to get some traction there? Yeah. You know, Gary, as you know, that's kind of our DNA. That's how we started. We were, you know, essentially 100% consumer consignment back in 2011. As we found the commercial consignment business and the huge volumes they can bring in, we just left the consumer consignment piece of our business to just grow on its own. I would say at the beginning of this year or earlier this year, we really decided to lean back into the consumer-sourced segment. We've spent a lot of time and energy making the consumer consignment product that we offer a lot easier. We've hired very talented resources to help manage that process. We've brought on people on our product team to help us build out that part of our business. We're seeing it's a decent part of our marketing initiative. What's great about the consumer consignment offering is that when you sell a vehicle for somebody, you're essentially creating two fans. The seller makes a lot more money than their next best alternative, and the buyer gets a great vehicle that they otherwise would have had to go to a traditional dealership and pay much more for. What's great about the consumer business model is it's it helps you build your fan base in a new market very, very quickly. We're seeing that. We, you know, we leaned into it with a specific campaign in certain markets earlier this year and saw, you know, tremendous increase in leads and lead conversion. We're really doing a lot to help amplify the stories of the people for whom we're selling vehicles. Also it helps internally. I mean, it's really exciting for our team when you see like massive wins for some of these sellers who are selling their vehicle and making thousands and thousands more than they otherwise would have made on a trade-in. It's definitely an awesome part of our business, one we're very proud of. It's in our DNA, it's one that we're gonna lean into, continue to lean very heavily into as we go forward. Is it safe to say at this point, you said in October, less than 50% of your cars were sourced at auction? Is the majority of that really more commercial consignment versus consumer consignment at this point? It's, yeah, I mean, it's split not necessarily evenly, but it's split between commercial and consumer. We don't break out the specific sources, but it's not the vast majority commercial. It's a close majority. Okay. I just wanted to ask as I'm writing a lot of this stuff down. You said that the commercial account that kind of left came back, and has started to supply you with vehicles. Have you made any inroads in trying to diversify your base of consumer, I mean, of commercial accounts? I know it's pretty early, but, you know, at one time that account was, I think, given 60% of your cars. Any color you could give on that in terms of the receptivity to your consignment model among, you know, commercial consigners would be great. You know, the account that paused, you mentioned, was a significant part of our business. They came back. In the meantime, we've been growing across our existing accounts and bringing on new accounts. Also we've grown as a business, we're obviously selling more vehicles than we have in the past. The account that paused and came back is now about 10% of our of our sourcing. They have terrific cars. They sell well. It's a great partnership. Works well for us, works well for them. It's a piece of business that we wanna continue to grow. You know, whether it's gonna grow as a percentage, probably depends more on, you know, what our growth rate is more than what their growth rate is. It's a great account. They supply us with vehicles at many locations. We're excited to continue working with them closely. Okay. Thank you. Thank you. This does conclude our question and answer session. I would now like to turn the conference back to Mr. Michael Bor. Sir, please go ahead. Thank you. Before we end the call, I just want to reiterate our optimism regarding our long-term consignment model. We're making the necessary adjustments to operate effectively and efficiently until the environment returns to normal. Thank you for joining us today, and we look forward to speaking to you again soon. This concludes today's conference call. Thank you for participating. You may now disconnect.
