Carvana Co (NYSE:CVNA) shares are trading lower in Wednesday's after-hours session after the company reported financial results.
Carvana said first-quarter revenue increased 56% year-over-year to $3.5 billion, which beat the $3.39 billion estimate, according to data from Benzinga Pro. The company reported a quarterly net loss of $506 million.
Carvana said omicron, used vehicle prices, interest rates, and other macro factors all negatively impacted retail units sold, which was the main driver of the company's weak results. Retail units sold totaled 105,185.
"We view these macro factors as transitory and remain focused on delivering the best possible experiences to our customers," said Ernie Garcia, founder and CEO of Carvana.
Carvana refrained from providing any near-term guidance due to the aforementioned uncertainties surrounding current industry trends. The company will host a conference call to discuss these results beginning at 5:30 p.m. ET.

Additionally, Carvana plans to raise up to $1B from series A perpetual preferred stock and up to $2.275B of senior unsecured notes due 2030 pursuant to a separate offering memorandum for each proposed offering.
