Management’s own words, often on a non-GAAP, constant-currency, or adjusted basis — so these can differ from the GAAP figures above (e.g. constant-currency revenue growth excludes currency swings).
Carvana delivered Q1 FY2026 revenue of $6.432 billion, up 52%, with record retail unit growth of 40% to 187,393 units. Net income reached $405 million at a 6.3% net income margin, and adjusted EBITDA hit a new record of $672 million at a 10.4% margin. Reconditioning efficiency recovered after a Q4 setback, and strong SG&A leverage delivered a $170 per-unit reduction. Full-year 2026 guidance was reiterated for significant growth in both retail units sold and adjusted EBITDA.
