Item 1A. Risk Factors
Item 1A. Risk Factors
Except as set forth below, during the three months ended March 31, 2023, there were no changes to the Risk Factors disclosed in Item 1A. Risk Factors of our 2022 Form 10-K.
Recent negative developments affecting the financial services industry, such as insolvency, defaults, or non-performance by financial institutions, could adversely affect our access to capital, liquidity, financial condition and results of operations.
During the quarter, closures of SVB and Signature Bank and their placement into receivership with the FDIC created bank-specific and broader financial institution liquidity risk concerns. The FDIC, the U.S. Federal Reserve and the U.S. Department of the Treasury jointly announced that depositors at SVB and Signature Bank would have access to their funds, even those in excess of the standard FDIC insurance limits.
Although we are not a party to any transactions with SVB, Signature Bank or any other financial institution currently in receivership, we maintain cash and floorplan offset balances at banks and third-party financial institutions in excess of FDIC insurance limits. If any of our lenders or counterparties to any of our financial instruments were to be placed into receivership or become insolvent, our ability to access our capital and liquidity and process transactions could be impaired and could have a material adverse effect on our business, operations and financial condition. In addition, if any of our suppliers, customers or other parties with whom we conduct business are unable to access funds or lending arrangements with relevant financial institutions, such parties’ ability to pay their obligations to us or to enter into new arrangements with us could be adversely affected. In the event of any future closure of other banks or financial institutions, there is no guarantee that the FDIC, the U.S. Federal Reserve and the U.S. Department of the Treasury will provide access, on a timely basis or at all, to uninsured funds. Finally, one financial institution that participates in our Revolving Credit Facility announced plans to terminate its auto dealer services business offering floorplan lending. We cannot predict the effects of future disruptions in the financial services industry on our financial condition and operations, nor that of our suppliers, vendors or customers.
