    Question

    Ryan Shelley of Bank of America Merrill Lynch asked about the rationale behind the new debt tender offer, particularly the inclusion of recently issued subordinated notes, and the company's broader capital structure strategy.

    EVP & CFO Perry Beberman explained that the company is in an excess cash position and is opportunistically optimizing its debt structure. He noted the original subordinated note issuance was larger than necessary for their balance sheet. The tender provides optionality, especially as the 9.75% senior notes have a call option in February 2026.

    Question

    Ryan Shelley inquired about the drivers behind the recent trend in the active dealer count and asked about the company's strategy for addressing the March 2026 debt maturity, which is now callable.

    Answer

    Chief Treasury Officer Douglas Busk described the active dealer count as 'fairly flat' outside of typical seasonality, noting that despite a normalizing competitive environment, the company continues to grow market share and is on pace for a record volume year. Regarding the 2026 notes, an executive from the treasury team stated they are monitoring market conditions and are not in a rush to act, given the ample time to maturity and multiple refinancing options available, including new notes, securitization, or existing liquidity.
