Richmond, VA based CarLotz, Inc. operates as a consignment-to-retail used vehicle marketplace that provides its corporate vehicle sourcing partners and retail sellers of used vehicles.

On March 15, 2021, CarLotz, Inc. announced its fourth quarter and full year 2020 financial results. During a related conference call, the Company stated that gross profit and gross profit per unit ("GPU") "were softer than . . . expected" due to "the surge in inventory during the quarter and the resulting lower retail unit profitability." CarLotz, Inc. also reported that the additional inventory "created a logjam that resulted in slower processing and higher days to sell."

On May 10, 2021, CarLotz, Inc. announced first quarter 2021 results, reporting amongst other things, GAAP earnings per share of -$0.15, missing consensus estimates of $0.01.

Then, on May 26, 2021, CarLotz, Inc. announced that its profit-sharing corporate vehicle sourcing partner had "paused consignments" to the Company. This partner accounted for more than 60% of cars sold and sourced by CarLotz.

Shares of CarLotz, Inc. (NASDAQ: LOTZ) declined from $12.7 per share on January 21, 2021, to as $4.06 per share on May 26, 2021.

The plaintiff claims that between December 30, 2020 and May 25, 2021, the Defendants made material misrepresentations concerning the following that, due to a surge in inventory during the second half of fiscal 2020, CarLotz was experiencing a "logjam" resulting in slower processing and higher days to sell that, as a result, the Company's gross profit per unit would be negatively impacted that, to minimize returns to the corporate vehicle sourcing partner responsible for more than 60% of CarLotz's inventory, the Company was offering aggressive pricing, that, as a result, CarLotz's gross profit per unit forecast was likely inflated, that this Company's corporate vehicle sourcing partner would likely pause consignments to the Company due to market conditions, including increasing wholesale prices, and that as a result, Defendants' statements about its business, operations, and prospects were materially false and misleading and/or lacked reasonable basis at all relevant times.

Those who purchased shares of CarLotz, Inc. (NASDAQ: LOTZ) have certain options and should contact the Shareholders Foundation.
