RideNow Group, Inc. Reports Third Quarter 2026 Financial Results
PR Newswire
CHANDLER, Ariz., Nov. 10, 2026
CHANDLER, Ariz., Nov. 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — RideNow Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: RDNW), (“we”, “our”, the “Company”, or “RideNow”), today announced financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2026.
Key Third Quarter 2026 Highlights (Compared to Third Quarter 2025)
- Total revenue was $244.3 million, a decrease of 13.1%, primarily from lower unit volume coupled with our store consolidation efforts.
- On a same store sales basis, Powersports Revenue was down 7.9%, due to a decrease in unit sales, largely driven by a reduction in overall consumer discretionary spending and the initial market implementation of the Company’s new Clear Price transparent pricing model, proactively introduced to align with recent Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”) guidance and enforcement priorities regarding vehicle pricing and fee transparency.
- Successfully refinanced our senior secured term loan facility with a new $220.0 million term loan maturing in September 2031, and entered into advanced discussions for a new $50.0 million senior secured asset-based revolving credit facility (ABL Facility) to enhance overall available liquidity.
- Total gross profit was $65.5 million, down 13.8%.
- Selling, general & administrative expenses (“SG&A”) were down $4.8 million to $59.6 million, from $64.4 million in the prior year.
- Net loss increased to $13.9 million as compared to a net loss of $4.1 million in the prior year.
- Adjusted EBITDA decreased to $5.3 million from $12.3 million.
Commenting on the quarter, Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President Michael Quartieri said, “The contraction we saw in the third quarter was primarily driven by our proactive, company-wide rollout of the ‘RideNow Clear Price‘ strategy, designed to fully comply with FTC pricing guidelines. While the August rollout impacted our retail volume against non-compliant competitors during the quarter, we believe it is the right move to build long-term customer trust and position us as the dealership group of choice. In fact, we are already seeing a rebound in the fourth quarter as consumer awareness grows, and we expect Q4 Adjusted EBITDA to outpace Q3, bucking our typical seasonal trend. We reduced costs by $4.6 million on an annualized basis during the quarter, and we continue to make great progress on our operational transformation and expect to yield an incremental $10 million of run-rate cost savings as we exit 2027. During the quarter, we refinanced our term debt, extending our maturities to 2031 and completed an accretive tuck-in acquisition of a dealership in Tallahassee, Florida. Ultimately, the structural changes and cost reductions we are implementing, coupled with accretive acquisitions, set us up very well to capture substantial operating leverage when the broader powersports cycle rebounds.”

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA
We define EBITDA as net income (loss) adjusted to add back non-floor plan interest expense, the impact of income taxes, depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA further adds back non-cash stock-based compensation, management transition costs, certain litigation expenses not associated with ongoing operations, lease expense associated with favorable related party leases in excess of contractual lease payments, impairment of franchise rights, and certain other costs and credits, as these recoveries, charges and expenses are not considered a part of our core business operations and are not necessarily an indicator of ongoing, future company performance.
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are adjusted to reflect an addback for floor plan interest expense. Our industry typically treats interest expense on vehicle floor plan debt as an operating expense, as vehicle floor plan debt is integral to our operations and is collateralized by our powersports vehicles.
Adjusted EBITDA is one of the primary metrics we use to evaluate the financial performance of our business. We present Adjusted EBITDA because we believe it is helpful in highlighting trends in our operating results and it is frequently used by analysts, investors and other interested parties to evaluate companies in our industry.
A reconciliation of net loss to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA is provided below:

Adjusted Free Cash Flow
Beginning with the period ended June 30, 2026, we present our non-GAAP cash flow measures as Adjusted Free Cash Flow. We believe this revised metric provides investors with a more representative view of the cash generated by our core operations by incorporating borrowings from non-trade floor plan facilities into operating cash flows to align non-trade inventory financing cash flows with the underlying operational capital structure, as well as normalizing for period-over-period variations. We believe this metric is useful to investors because it provides an additional means to evaluate cash flow trends in the business before considering non-operational or unique working capital financing adjustments.
We define Adjusted Free Cash Flow as GAAP cash flows (used in) or provided by operating activities, adjusted for the net proceeds from (payments on) non-trade floor plan facilities, less purchases of property and equipment.
Adjusted Free Cash Flow has limitations in that it does not represent the total increase or decrease in the cash balance for the period, nor does it represent residual cash flow available for discretionary expenditures. Therefore, Adjusted Free Cash Flow should be evaluated alongside our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows prepared in accordance with GAAP.
A reconciliation of cash flows from operating activities to Adjusted Free Cash Flow is provided below:

Non-Vehicle Net Debt
We define Non-Vehicle Net Debt as total principal of long-term debt, including current maturities, less unrestricted cash. Our restricted cash is principally related to vehicle floor plan debt and is therefore not part of this calculation. Vehicle floor plan debt and finance lease obligations are not included in this measure. We believe that Non-Vehicle Net Debt is useful to investors and analysts as a measure of our financial position. We use Non-Vehicle Net Debt to monitor and compare our financial position from period to period.

Adjusted SG&A
We define Adjusted SG&A as SG&A adjusted to deduct transaction costs, certain litigation expenses not associated with our ongoing operations, management transition costs and certain other costs, as these charges and expenses are not considered a part of our core business operations and are not necessarily an indicator of the ongoing run rate of our SG&A. We use Adjusted SG&A to measure our progress toward achieving our goals. Adjusted SG&A is a non-GAAP financial measure and should not be used as a replacement for SG&A reported in compliance with GAAP. Adjusted SG&A has certain limitations in that it does not represent the total SG&A for the period. Therefore, we believe it is important to evaluate Adjusted SG&A along with SG&A and our consolidated statements of operations.
