    Peter Kirk Lukas inquired about the key advantages of ACV's expanding reconditioning network beyond storage, what differentiates its commercial offerings, and the strategy regarding acquisitions versus greenfield expansion.

    Answer

    CEO George Chamoun detailed that the physical locations broaden the Total Addressable Market (TAM) for categories like repossessions. He highlighted ACV's differentiators: daily auctions (not weekly), upstream condition data for commercial partners, and proprietary technology for on-site efficiency. He also announced plans for the first greenfield location by year-end. CFO Bill Zerella added that a successful greenfield strategy could significantly reduce future capital requirements compared to M&A.
