STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and which are subject to certain risks, trends and uncertainties. In particular, statements made in this report on Form 10-Q that are not historical facts may be forward-looking statements. Words such as "should," "may," "will," "anticipates," "expects," "intends," "plans," "believes," "seeks," "estimates" and similar expressions identify forward- looking statements. Such statements include statements regarding our pending merger with Ritchie Bros. Auctioneers Incorporated (“Ritchie Bros”); the impact of macroeconomic conditions on our business; our future growth; expectations regarding vehicle volume sales, results of operations and capital expenditures; and our continued investment in information technology. Such statements are based on management’s current expectations, are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from the results projected, expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. Risks and uncertainties related to our pending merger with Ritchie Bros. that may cause actual results to differ materially include, but are not limited to: the impact the announcement and pendency of the merger may have on our business, including potential adverse effects on partner and customer relationships and, which could affect our results of operations and financial condition; the extent to which various closing conditions, including regulatory approvals and approvals by our stockholders, are satisfied; the risk that failure to complete the merger, or a delay in the completion of the merger, could negatively impact our business, results of operations, financial condition and stock price; the uncertainty of the ultimate value our stockholders will receive in connection with the merger; the extent to which various interim operating covenants, with which we will be required to comply while the merger remains pending, constrains our business operations and diverts management’s focus from our ongoing business; the possibility of adverse impacts on our ability to retain and hire key personnel during the pendency of the merger; the extent to which potential litigation filed against us or Ritchie Bros. could prevent or delay the completion of the merger or result in the payment of damages following the completion of the merger; the extent to which provisions in the merger agreement limit our ability to pursue alternatives to the merger or discourage a potential competing acquirer of us, or result in any competing proposal being at a lower price than it might otherwise be; and after the merger, Richie Bros. may fail to realize the projected benefits and cost savings of the merger, which could adversely affect the value of Richie Bros. stock price. Additional risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ materially include, but are not limited to: the impact of macroeconomic factors, including high fuel prices and rising inflation, on our revenues, gross profit and operating results; the loss of one or more significant vehicle suppliers or a reduction in significant volume from such suppliers; our ability to meet or exceed customers’ demand and expectations; significant current competition and the introduction of new competitors or other disruptive entrants in our industry; the risk that our facilities lack the capacity to accept additional vehicles and our ability to obtain land or renew/enter into new leases at commercially reasonable rates; our ability to effectively maintain or update information and technology systems; our ability to implement and maintain measures to protect against cyberattacks and comply with applicable privacy and data security requirements; our ability to successfully implement our business strategies or realize expected cost savings and revenue enhancements, including from our margin expansion plan; business development activities, including acquisitions and the integration of acquired businesses, and the risks that the anticipated benefits of any acquisitions may not be fully realized or take longer to realize than expected; our expansion into markets outside the U.S. and the operational, competitive and regulatory risks facing our non-U.S. based operations; our reliance on subhaulers and trucking fleet operations; changes in used-vehicle prices and the volume of damaged and total loss vehicles we purchase; economic conditions, including fuel prices, commodity prices, foreign exchange rates and interest rate fluctuations; trends in new- and used-vehicle sales and incentives; uncertainties regarding the impact of possible future surges of COVID-19 infections or other pandemics, epidemics or infectious disease outbreaks on our business operations or the operations of our customers; and other risks and uncertainties identified in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), including under Item 1A “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 28, 2022 and Item 1A “Risk Factors” in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the SEC on May 10, 2022, as such risk factors may be amended, supplemented or superseded from time to time by other reports we file with the SEC, including subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Annual Reports on Form 10-K. Many of these risk factors are outside of our control, and as such, they involve risks which are not currently known that could cause actual results to differ materially from those discussed or implied herein. The forward-looking statements in this document are made as of the date on which they are made and we do not undertake to update our forward-looking statements.

Note 1—Basis of Presentation and Nature of Operations
Description of Business
IAA, Inc., together with its subsidiaries (collectively referred to herein as “IAA” and "the Company"), is a leading global digital marketplace connecting vehicle buyers and sellers. Leveraging leading-edge technology and focusing on innovation, IAA's unique platform facilitates the marketing and sale of total loss, damaged and low-value vehicles and vehicle parts for a full spectrum of sellers. Headquartered in Westchester, Illinois, the Company has more than 210 facilities throughout the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom. The Company serves a global buyer base and a full spectrum of sellers, including insurance companies, dealerships, fleet lease and rental car companies, and charitable organizations. The Company offers sellers a comprehensive suite of services aimed at maximizing vehicle value, reducing administrative costs, shortening selling cycle time and delivering the highest economic returns. The Company's solutions provide global buyers with the vehicles they need to, among other things, fulfill their vehicle rebuild requirements, replacement part inventory or scrap demand. IAA provides global buyers multiple digital bidding and buying channels, innovative vehicle merchandising, and efficient evaluation services, enhancing the overall purchasing experience.
The Company operates in two reportable segments: United States and International. The Company earns fees for its services from both buyers and sellers of vehicles and parts sold through its channels.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles ("U.S. GAAP") for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by U.S. GAAP for annual financial statements. In the opinion of management, the unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, generally consisting of normal recurring accruals, necessary for a fair statement of our financial results for the periods presented. Financial results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the year as a whole. These unaudited consolidated financial statements and condensed notes thereto are unaudited and should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended January 2, 2022 included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on February 28, 2022.
The Company's fiscal year consists of 52 weeks with every fifth year consisting of 53 weeks and ending either the last Sunday in December or the first Sunday in January. Fiscal 2022 contains 52 weeks and fiscal 2021 contained 53 weeks.
Use of Estimates
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates based in part on assumptions about current, and for some estimates, future economic and market conditions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period. Although the current estimates contemplate current conditions and expected future changes, as appropriate, it is reasonably possible that future conditions could differ from these estimates, which could materially affect the Company's results of operations and financial position.
Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of cost over fair value of identifiable net assets of businesses acquired. Goodwill is tested for impairment annually in the fourth quarter, or more frequently as impairment indicators arise.
During the third quarter of fiscal 2022, the Company updated its forecasts which resulted in a decline in the International reporting unit's operating results and projections. The Company identified this as a triggering event and determined that the carrying amount of the International reporting unit's goodwill should be evaluated for impairment at October 2, 2022. The impairment test indicated that the fair value of the International reporting unit exceeded its carrying value by approximately 40% and therefore no goodwill impairment was recorded. The goodwill allocated to the International reporting unit was $250.1 million as of October 2, 2022.
11
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The Company does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements, if adopted, would have a material impact on its unaudited consolidated financial statements or disclosures.
Note 2—Revenue Recognition
The Company generates its revenues from contracts with customers. The Company recognizes revenue when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration that the Company expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. The Company identifies each performance obligation and evaluates whether the performance obligations are distinct within the context of the contract at contract inception. Performance obligations that are not distinct at contract inception are combined. The Company allocates the transaction price to each distinct performance obligation proportionately based on the estimated standalone selling price for each performance obligation. The Company then determines how the goods or services are transferred to the customer in order to determine the timing of revenue recognition.
The Company has disaggregated revenue at the product level by Services and Vehicle and Parts Sales, as well as geographically by the United States and International. See Note 10 - Segment Information for disaggregated revenue.
Service Revenues
Service revenues include auction and auction related fees for all vehicles sold by the Company. The Company does not take title to vehicles that are consigned to the Company by the seller and records auction fees on those vehicles on a net basis because it has no influence on the vehicle auction selling price agreed to by the seller and the buyer at the auction. The buyer fees are typically based on a tiered structure with fees increasing with the sale price of the vehicle, while the seller fees are typically fixed dollar or a fixed percent of the selling price at auction. The Company generally enforces its rights to payment for seller transactions through net settlement provisions following the sale of a vehicle. Greater than 90% of the Company’s revenue is generated at the time of auction as a result of the satisfaction of the seller and buyer performance obligations as described below.
The Company’s contracts with sellers are short-term in nature. The performance obligation contained within the Company's auction contracts for sellers is to facilitate the remarketing of salvage vehicles, including the inbound tow, processing, storage, titling, enhancing and sale at auction. These services are related to facilitating the sale of vehicles and are not distinct within the context of the contract. Accordingly, revenue for these services is recognized when the single performance obligation is satisfied at the point in time when the vehicle is sold through the auction process. Related costs are deferred and recognized at the time of sale.
The Company's contracts with buyers are short-term in nature and are generally established via purchase at auction, subject to standard terms and conditions. These contracts contain a single performance obligation, which is satisfied at the point in time when the vehicle is purchased through the auction process. Buyers also pay a fixed registration fee to access the auctions for a - or two-year term in addition to the fees paid upon purchase of a vehicle. The performance obligation to provide access to the auctions, associated with the registration, is satisfied ratably over the - or two-year contractual term of the buyer agreement. Accordingly, registration fee revenue is recognized ratably over the contract term. The Company also offers other services to buyers such as transportation, storage, vehicle condition reporting, and other ancillary services. Revenue from such services is recognized in the period in which such services are provided.
Vehicle and Parts Sales
Vehicle and parts sales represent the selling price of vehicles, vehicle parts and scrap associated with vehicles purchased by the Company. The Company's performance obligation is the completion of the sale process. Revenue is recognized at the point in time when control of the vehicle, vehicle parts or scrap is transferred to the customer, which generally occurs upon delivery to the carrier or the customer. Since the Company acts as principal in the sale process, the sales price for the vehicle or vehicle parts and scrap is recorded as revenue on a gross basis. Buyer fees associated with these sales are recorded in service revenues in the Company's consolidated statements of income.
12
There were no material contract assets, contract liabilities or deferred contract costs recorded on the consolidated balance sheets as of October 2, 2022 and January 2, 2022. For each of the Company's primary revenue streams, cash flows are consistent with the timing of revenue recognition.
For the three and nine months ended October 2, 2022 and September 26, 2021, revenue recognized from performance obligations related to prior periods was not material. Revenue expected to be recognized in any future period related to remaining performance obligations is not material.
Note 3—Stock-Based Compensation Plans
2019 Omnibus Stock and Incentive Plan ("2019 OSIP")
On June 27, 2019, the Company's board of directors approved the 2019 OSIP. The purpose of the 2019 OSIP is to provide an additional incentive to selected management employees, directors, independent contractors, and consultants of the Company whose contributions are essential to the growth and success of the Company, in order to strengthen the commitment of such persons, motivate such persons to faithfully and diligently perform their responsibilities and attract and retain competent and dedicated persons whose efforts will result in the long-term growth and profitability for the Company.
Benefits granted under the 2019 OSIP may be granted in any one or a combination of (i) options to purchase IAA common stock; (ii) IAA share appreciation rights (“SARs”); (iii) restricted shares of IAA common stock; (iv) other IAA stock-based awards; or (v) other cash-based awards. Options, restricted shares, and other share-based awards or cash awards may constitute performance-based awards. The granting or vesting of any performance-based awards will be based on achievement of performance objectives that are based on one or more financial or business criteria, with respect to one or more business units of IAA and its subsidiaries as a whole. Such financial or business criteria may be adjusted to account for unusual or infrequently occurring items or changes in accounting.
Participants include any employee, director, independent contractor or consultant of IAA or any affiliate of IAA selected to receive awards under the 2019 OSIP, and, upon his or her death, his or her successors, heirs, executors and administrators, as the case may be. As of October 2, 2022, the number of common shares reserved and available for awards under the 2019 OSIP is 4,263,218, subject to adjustment made in accordance with the 2019 OSIP. Upon the occurrence of certain corporate events that affect the common stock, including but not limited to any extraordinary cash dividend, stock split, reorganization or other relevant change in capitalization, appropriate adjustments may be made with respect to the number of shares available for grants under the 2019 OSIP, the number of shares covered by outstanding awards and the maximum number of shares that may be granted to any participant.
The aggregate awards granted during any calendar year to any single individual will not exceed: (i) 1,000,000 shares subject to options or SARs, (ii) 500,000 shares subject to restricted shares or other share-based awards and (iii) $5,000,000 with respect to any cash-based award. A non-employee director of IAA may not be granted awards under the 2019 OSIP during any calendar year that, when aggregated with such non-employee director’s cash fees received with respect to such calendar year, exceed $750,000 in total value.
The Company recorded stock-based compensation expense of $3.1 million and $2.9 million during the three months ended October 2, 2022 and September 26, 2021, respectively, and $8.9 million and $8.3 million during the nine months ended October 2, 2022 and September 26, 2021, respectively.
The following table summarizes the performance-based restricted stock units (“PRSUs”) and time-based restricted stock units (“RSUs”) granted by the Company to certain employees and restricted stock awards (“RSAs”) granted by the Company to non-employee directors in accordance with the 2019 OSIP during the three and nine months ended October 2, 2022:

PRSUs - Performance Condition: The PRSUs granted to certain executive officers and certain other employees of the Company vest at the end of a three-year performance period if and to the extent that the Company's three year average return on invested capital achieves certain specified goals.
PRSUs - Market Condition: The PRSUs granted to certain executive officers and certain other employees vest based upon the Company's total stockholder return relative to the performance of a peer group over a three year performance period ending December 31, 2024. The grant date fair value of $42.18 per share underlying each PRSU award was calculated using a Monte Carlo simulation. The significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value were: grant date stock price of $38.37; term of 2.76 years; risk-free interest rate of 2.49%; expected volatility of IAA's common stock of 45.48% and the average expected volatility of the common stock of the peer group of 45.18%; correlation coefficients of IAA of 0.60 and the peer group's average of 0.72; and a dividend yield of 0.00%.
RSUs - The RSUs granted to certain executive officers and certain other employees of the Company are contingent upon continued employment and vest in three equal annual installments.
RSAs - The RSAs granted to non-employee directors vest in one installment on the earlier of the one-year anniversary date of the grant date or the day preceding the Company's next annual meeting of stockholders following the date of grant.
Note 4—Net Income Per Share
Basic net income per share was calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of outstanding common shares for the period. Diluted net income per share was calculated consistent with basic net income per share including the effect of dilutive unissued common shares related to the Company's stock-based employee compensation program. The effect of stock options, RSUs and RSAs on net income per share-diluted is determined through the application of the treasury stock method, whereby net proceeds received by the Company based on assumed exercises are hypothetically used to repurchase the Company's common stock at the average market price during the period.
The following table sets forth the computation of net income per share (in millions except per share amounts):

Share Repurchase Program
On August 2, 2021, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program under which the Company can repurchase up to $400.0 million (exclusive of fees and commissions) of shares of its common stock (the “Repurchase Program”). The Repurchase Program expires on August 3, 2026. The shares under the Repurchase Program may be repurchased through open market, privately negotiated transactions, accelerated share repurchase transactions or other means, including under plans complying with the provisions of Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The timing and amount of common stock to be repurchased under this Repurchase Program will be subject to the discretion of the Company based upon market conditions and other opportunities the Company may have to deploy capital. The Repurchase Program does not obligate the Company to acquire any specific number of shares of its common stock, and the Repurchase Program may be suspended or discontinued at any time.
Pursuant to the Repurchase Program, the Company did not repurchase any shares of its common stock during the three months ended October 2, 2022. During the nine months ended October 2, 2022, the Company repurchased 751,285 shares of its common stock for an aggregate gross purchase price of approximately $27.2 million. As of October 2, 2022, approximately $338.8 million remained available under the Repurchase Program.

Credit Facility
On June 28, 2019, the Company entered into a credit agreement (the “2019 Credit Agreement”), which provided for, among other things: (i) a seven-year senior secured term loan in an aggregate principal amount of $800 million (the "2019 Term Loan") and (ii) a five-year revolving credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of $225 million (the "2019 Revolving Credit Facility"). On May 1, 2020, the Company entered into an amendment to its 2019 Credit Agreement to increase the aggregate principal amount able to be borrowed under the 2019 Revolving Credit Facility by $136.0 million to $361.0 million. The 2019 Credit Agreement was terminated on April 30, 2021.
During the nine months ended September 26, 2021, the Company recognized a loss of $10.3 million on early extinguishment of the 2019 Credit Agreement, which is included within the interest expense, net line of the consolidated statements of income.
On April 30, 2021, the Company entered into a new credit agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, and the other lenders from time to time party thereto (the “Credit Agreement”). The Credit Agreement provides for, among other things: (i) a senior secured term loan in an aggregate principal amount of $650 million (the "Term Loan") and (ii) a senior secured revolving credit facility with revolving commitments in an aggregate principal amount of $525 million (the "Revolving Credit Facility" and, together with the Term Loan, the "Credit Facility"). Borrowing availability under the Revolving Credit Facility is subject to no default or event of default under the Credit Agreement having occurred at the time of borrowing. The proceeds of the Credit Facility were used, along with cash on hand, to repay in full all outstanding borrowings under the Company’s 2019 Term Loan under its 2019 Credit Agreement. Future borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility are expected to be used for the Company's ongoing working capital needs and general corporate purposes. The Credit Facility matures on April 30, 2026.
Subsequent to November 2, 2021, borrowings under the Credit Agreement bear interest at (A) at the Company’s option, the highest of the prime rate, the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.5%, or one-month LIBOR plus 1.00% (the “Base Rate”) for base rate borrowings or (B) LIBOR, in each case plus an applicable margin ranging from 0.375% to 1.25% with respect to Base Rate borrowings and 1.375% to 2.25% with respect to eurodollar borrowings, in each case, depending on the Company’s Consolidated Net Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement). The Credit Agreement contains additional procedures for transition to a benchmark rate other than one-month LIBOR for eurodollar borrowings. The unused amount of the Revolving Credit Facility is subject to a commitment fee ranging from 0.175% and 0.30% depending on the Company’s
15
Consolidated Net Leverage Ratio. As of October 2, 2022, the interest rate per annum for the Term Loan was 4.49%.
The Credit Agreement requires the Company to comply with certain financial covenants, including a requirement that the Company’s Consolidated Net Leverage Ratio not exceed 4:00 to 1:00 as of the last day of any fiscal quarter, subject to certain exceptions for qualifying material acquisitions. Consolidated Net Leverage Ratio is defined as the ratio of Consolidated Total Debt (as defined in the Credit Agreement) to Consolidated EBITDA (as defined in the Credit Agreement). The Credit Agreement also contains other affirmative and negative covenants that are usual and customary for a senior secured credit agreement. The negative covenants include limitations on (i) the disposition of assets, (ii) mergers and acquisitions, (iii) restricted payments, including payment of future dividends, distributions and stock repurchases by the Company, (iv) the incurrence of additional indebtedness, (v) permitted acquisitions and investments and (vi) the incurrence of additional liens on property. The Credit Agreement includes customary events of default.
Notes
On June 6, 2019, the Company issued $500.0 million aggregate principal amount of 5.500% Senior Notes due 2027 (the “Notes”). The Notes mature on June 15, 2027. Interest on the Notes is due on June 15 and December 15 of each year and accrues at a rate of 5.500% per annum.
The Notes contain covenants which, among other things, limit the Company and its restricted subsidiaries’ ability to pay dividends on or make other distributions in respect of equity interests or make other restricted payments, make certain investments, incur liens on certain assets to secure debt, sell certain assets, consummate certain mergers or consolidations or sell all or substantially all assets, or designate subsidiaries as unrestricted.
Other
At October 2, 2022 and January 2, 2022, the Company had outstanding letters of credit in the aggregate amount of $5.5 million and $5.6 million, respectively, which reduced the amount available for borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility.
Fair Value of Debt
The estimated fair value of the Company's Term Loan as of October 2, 2022 and January 2, 2022 and the Revolving Facility as of January 2, 2022 approximated book value as the interest rate is variable in nature.
The estimated fair value of the Company's Notes as of October 2, 2022 and January 2, 2022 was $456.3 million and $517.5 million, respectively. These estimates were based on broker-dealer quotes as of the respective dates and are considered Level 2 fair value measurements in the fair value hierarchy.

Note 8—Acquisition
SYNETIQ Ltd.
On October 26, 2021, IAA, through its indirect wholly owned subsidiary, IAA International Holdings Limited, acquired 100% of SYNETIQ Ltd. ("SYNETIQ"), a leading integrated salvage and vehicle dismantling company in the United Kingdom, to expand its footprint in the United Kingdom. The cash purchase price for SYNETIQ, including working capital and other adjustments, was $314.2 million (£228.2 million), of which $260.2 million (£189.0 million) was paid out in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021. The remaining payment of $54.0 million (£39.2 million), which was held in an escrow account and presented as Restricted cash on the consolidated balance sheets as of January 2, 2022, was paid out during the first quarter of fiscal 2022 upon receipt of required approvals from the U.K. Competition and Markets Authority. The Company funded the acquisition with cash on hand and $100.0 million in borrowings under its Revolving Credit Facility.
The Company finalized the purchase price allocation for the SYNETIQ acquisition during the three months ended July 3, 2022. The following table summarizes the fair value of consideration transferred and the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the date of acquisition (in millions):

The intangible assets acquired related to developed technology (useful life 4 years) and tradename (useful life 5 years), which will be amortized over a weighted average-useful life of approximately 4 years. The relief from royalty method was used to value the developed technology and tradename. This method requires forward looking estimates to determine fair value, including among other assumptions, forecasted revenue growth, obsolescence, and estimated discount and royalty rates. The goodwill recognized from this acquisition reflects expected synergies resulting from adding SYNETIQ's products and processes to the Company's products and processes. The acquired goodwill has been allocated to the International segment and is deductible for tax purposes.
The following unaudited pro forma financial information summarizes the combined results of operations for the Company and SYNETIQ, as though the companies were combined as of the beginning of fiscal 2021 (in millions):

These pro forma results are based on estimates and assumptions, which the Company believes are reasonable. The pro forma financial information is for informational purposes only and is not indicative of the results of operations that would have been achieved if the acquisition had taken place at the beginning of the Company’s fiscal 2021, and is not necessarily indicative of the Company's consolidated results of operations in future periods.
The pro forma results include adjustments related to purchase accounting, primarily amortization of intangible assets, and interest expense related to the borrowings under the Company's Revolving Credit Facility in connection with the acquisition of SYNETIQ.
Note 9—Commitments and Contingencies
The Company is and may from time to time become involved in litigation and disputes arising in the ordinary course of business, such as actions related to injuries; property damage; handling, storage or disposal of vehicles; environmental laws and regulations; and other litigation incidental to the business. Management considers the likelihood of loss or the incurrence of a liability, as well as the ability to reasonably estimate the amount of loss, in determining loss contingencies. The Company accrues an estimated loss contingency when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of loss (or range of possible losses) can be reasonably estimated. Management regularly evaluates current information available to determine whether accrual amounts should be adjusted. Accruals for contingencies, including litigation and environmental matters, are included in “Other accrued expenses” at undiscounted amounts and exclude claims for recoveries from insurance or other third parties. These accruals are adjusted periodically as assessment and remediation efforts progress, or as additional technical or legal information becomes available. If the amount of an actual loss is greater than the amount accrued, this could have an adverse impact on the Company's operating results in that period. Such matters are generally not, in the opinion of management, likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. Legal fees are expensed as incurred.

Pyrite Canyon
In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020, the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, Insurance Auto Auctions, Inc. (hereafter “IAAI”), received a letter from the California Department of Toxic Substances Control (the “DTSC”) styled “Draft Imminent and Substantial Endangerment Determination and Consent Order” (the “Draft Order”) in which the DTSC states that IAAI, along with nine other respondents named in the Draft Order, has been named as a potential responsible party for the release of hazardous substances at the former Universal Propulsion Company site (the “Former UPCo Site”). The Draft Order states that the Former UPCo Site has been identified as contributing to the Pyrite Canyon Plume by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and prescribes initial steps and a schedule for responding to the release of hazardous substances at the Former UPCo Site. The Draft Order further states that IAAI has been identified as a potential responsible party because it is either the company or the successor of a company responsible for a release of hazardous substances at the Former UPCo Site. The Draft Order is currently unsigned and has not been issued by DTSC.
On January 26, 2021, DTSC hosted an informational teleconference for the respondents named in the Draft Order. At the meeting, DTSC described the background and current status at the Former UPCo Site, but did not provide any information related to possible response actions, associated cost estimates or financial liability determinations. DTSC directed the Respondents to provide comments upon the Draft Order by March 1, 2021. DTSC subsequently extended the response deadline to April 30, 2021 pursuant to respondent requests. On March 30, 2021, IAAI provided DTSC with its response to the Draft Order.
The Company does not believe that IAAI should bear any financial liability for actions taken pursuant to the Draft Order because it does not believe that IAAI is the company or a successor of a company responsible for a release of hazardous substances at the Former UPCo Site. IAAI currently leases 50 gross acres of the Former UPCo Site, having commenced a sublease at the location on or about March 1, 2016. At all times since, IAAI has used the site for vehicle storage and
general operations. The most significant contaminants at the Former UPCo Site, and the Pyrite Canyon Plume are perchlorate, NDMA and PCBs. These contaminants pre-date IAAI’s occupancy and operations at the Former UPCo Site and are inconsistent with any chemicals stored at the location or used in its operations.
IAAI has tendered this matter to its landlord pursuant to indemnity provisions in its sublease, and to its environmental insurance carrier. IAAI's landlord has responded by tendering its own indemnification demand to IAAI, and IAAI has notified its environmental insurance carrier of the same. At this time, the Company does not have adequate information to determine IAAI’s liability, if any, for contamination at the Former UPCo Site.
Lower Duwamish Waterway
Since June 2004, IAAI operated a branch on property it leased in Tukwila, Washington just south of Seattle. The property is located adjacent to a Superfund site known as the Lower Duwamish Waterway Superfund Site ("LDW Site"). The LDW Site had been designated a Superfund site in 2001, three years prior to IAAI’s tenancy. On March 25, 2008, the United States Environmental Protection Agency (the "EPA") issued IAAI a General Notice of Potential Liability, or "General Notice," pursuant to Section 107(a), and a Request for Information pursuant to Section 104(e) of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act ("CERCLA") related to the LDW Site. On November 7, 2012, the EPA issued IAAI a Second General Notice of Potential Liability (the "Second General Notice") for the LDW Site. The EPA's website indicates that the EPA has issued general notice letters to approximately 116 entities, and has issued Section 104(e) Requests to more than 300 entities related to the LDW Site. In the General Notice and Second General Notice, the EPA informed IAAI that the EPA believed IAAI may be a Potentially Responsible Party ("PRP"), but the EPA did not specify the factual basis for this assertion. At this time, the EPA still has not specified the factual basis for this assertion and has not demanded that IAAI pay any funds or take any action apart from responding to the Section 104(e) Information Request. Four PRPs, The Boeing Company, the City of Seattle, the Port of Seattle and King County - the Lower Duwamish Waterway Group ("LDWG"), have funded a remedial investigation and feasibility study related to the cleanup of the LDW Site. In December 2014, the EPA issued a Record of Decision ("ROD"), detailing the final cleanup plan for the LDW Site. The ROD estimated the cost of cleanup to be $342 million, with the plan involving dredging of 105 acres, capping 24 acres, and enhanced natural recovery of 48 acres. The estimated length of the cleanup was 17 years, including 7 years of active remediation, and 10 years of monitored natural recovery. IAAI is aware that certain authorities may bring natural resource damage claims against PRPs. On February 11, 2016, IAAI received a Notice of Intent letter from the United States National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration informing IAAI that the Elliott Bay Trustee Council were beginning to conduct an injury assessment for natural resource damages in the LDW. The Notice of Intent indicated that the decision of the trustees to proceed with this natural resources injury assessment followed a pre-assessment screen performed by the trustees. Shortly thereafter, in a letter dated August 16, 2016, EPA issued a status update to the PRPs at the LDW Site. The letter stated that EPA expected the bulk of the pre-remedial design work currently being performed by the LDWG to be completed by the beginning of 2018, with the Remedial Design/Remedial
19
Action ("RD/RA") phase to follow. The EPA previously anticipated that the pre-design work would be completed sometime during 2018, and the Company is not aware of any further information regarding that schedule. Accordingly, the Company is unable to predict when RD/RA negotiations with all PRPs might begin.
In addition, the Washington State Department of Ecology ("Ecology") is working with the EPA in relation to the LDW Site, primarily to investigate and address sources of potential contamination contributing to the LDW Site. In 2007, IAA installed a stormwater capture and filtration system designed to treat sources of potential contamination before discharge to the LDW Site. The immediate-past property owner, the former property owner and IAA have had discussions with Ecology concerning possible source control measures, including an investigation of the water and soils entering the stormwater system, an analysis of the source of contamination identified within the system, if any, and possible repairs and upgrades to the stormwater system if required. As of May 31, 2020, IAAI ceased all operations at the site and terminated its remaining lease of the property in June 2020. Accordingly, IAAI submitted a Notice of Termination of its stormwater permit to Ecology, discontinuing IAA’s ongoing obligations around the stormwater system maintenance and any additional source control measures.
At this time, the Company has not received any further notices from the EPA and still does not have adequate information to determine IAAI's liability, if any, for contamination at this site, or to estimate the Company's loss as a result of this potential liability which might have been incurred during IAAI’s occupancy.

Note 11—Subsequent Events
On November 7, 2022, the Company entered into the Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization (the “Merger Agreement”) with Ritchie Bros. Auctioneers Incorporated, a company organized under the federal laws of Canada (“RBA”), Ritchie Bros. Holdings Inc., a Washington corporation and a direct and indirect wholly owned subsidiary of RBA (“US Holdings”), Impala Merger Sub I, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of US Holdings (“Merger Sub 1”), and Impala Merger Sub II, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of US Holdings (“Merger Sub 2”), providing for RBA’s acquisition of the Company in a stock and cash transaction. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, at the closing of the transactions (i) Merger Sub 1 will be merged with and into the Company (the “First Merger”), with the Company surviving as an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of RBA and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of US Holdings (the “Surviving Corporation”), and (ii) immediately following the consummation of the First Merger, the Surviving Corporation will be merged with and into Merger Sub 2 (together with the First Merger, the “Mergers”), with Merger Sub 2 surviving as a direct wholly owned subsidiary of US Holdings. At the effective time of the First Merger, each issued and outstanding share of common stock of the Company (other than certain customary excluded shares) as of immediately prior to such effective time will be converted automatically into the right to receive (A) 0.5804 of a common share, without par value, of RBA (“RBA Common Shares”) and (B) $10.00 in cash, without interest (together, the “Merger Consideration”). Upon completion of the Mergers, RBA stockholders will own approximately 59% of the common shares of the combined company and the Company's stockholders will own approximately 41% of the common shares of the combined company. The Merger Agreement provides that, as of immediately following the effective of the First Merger, the Board of Directors of RBA will consist of twelve members, of whom (i) eight directors will be designated by RBA, which designees will consist of: Erik Olsson, who will continue as Chair of the RBA Board of Directors; Ann Fandozzi, who will continue as the Chief Executive Officer of RBA; and six existing directors of RBA who are independent under the rules and regulations of the NYSE and applicable Canadian securities laws as designated by RBA; and (ii) four directors of IAA, three of whom are independent under the rules and regulations of the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") and applicable Canadian securities laws, as designated by IAA.
The Merger Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants made by each of RBA, US Holdings, Merger Sub 1, Merger Sub 2 and the Company, including, among others, covenants by each of RBA and the Company to use reasonable efforts to conduct their respective businesses in the ordinary course in all material respects between the date of signing of the Merger Agreement and the closing of the Mergers and prohibiting the parties from engaging in certain kinds of activities during such period without the consent of the other party.
21
The Company currently operates, and until completion of the Mergers will continue to operate, independently of RBA.

The following discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws, and should be read in conjunction with the disclosures we make concerning risks and other factors that may affect our business and operating results. See “Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” preceding Part I, Item 1 in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Unless the context suggests otherwise, all reference in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to the "Company," "we," "us," refer to IAA, Inc. together with its subsidiaries.
Executive Overview
Our Business
We are a leading global digital marketplace connecting vehicle buyers and sellers. Leveraging leading-edge technology and focusing on innovation, our unique platform facilitates the marketing and sale of total-loss, damaged and low-value vehicles for a full spectrum of sellers. Headquartered in Westchester, IL, we have two operating and reportable segments: United States and International. We maintain operations in the United States, which make up the United States segment and operations in Canada and the United Kingdom, which make up the International segment. We have more than 210 facilities across both business segments.
We serve a global buyer base and a full spectrum of sellers, including insurance companies, dealerships, fleet lease and rental car companies, and charitable organizations. We offer sellers a comprehensive suite of services aimed at maximizing vehicle value, reducing administrative costs, shortening selling cycle time and delivering the highest economic returns. Our solutions provide global buyers with the vehicles they need to, among other things, fulfill their vehicle rebuild requirements, replacement part inventory or scrap demand. We provide global buyers with multiple digital bidding and buying channels, innovative vehicle merchandising, and efficient evaluation services, enhancing the overall purchasing experience.
23
Sources of Revenues and Expenses
A significant portion of our revenue is derived from auction fees and related services associated with our salvage auctions. Our revenue earned from buyers represents fees charged based on a tiered structure that increases with the sales price of the vehicle, as well as fees for additional services such as storage, transportation, and vehicle condition reporting. Our revenue earned from sellers represents the combination of the inbound tow, processing, storage, titling, enhancing and auctioning of the vehicle. The majority of our business comprises auctioning vehicles on a consignment basis, meaning that our sellers continue to own their vehicles until they are sold to buyers through one of our digital marketplaces. We recognize revenue from consigned vehicles on a net basis as we have no influence on the vehicle auction selling price agreed to by the seller and the buyer at the auction. We also purchase vehicles in certain situations and resell them or, in our International segment, dismantle them and sell the vehicle parts and scrap. We recognize revenue from purchased vehicles on a gross basis, which results in lower gross margin versus vehicles sold at auction on a consignment basis.
Our operating expenses consist of cost of services, cost of vehicle and parts sales, selling, general and administrative and depreciation and amortization. Cost of services is comprised of payroll and related costs, subcontract services, supplies, insurance, property taxes, utilities, service contract claims, maintenance, and lease expense related to the auction sites. Cost of vehicle and parts sales represents the cost of purchased vehicles. Cost of services and cost of vehicle and parts sales exclude depreciation and amortization. Selling, general and administrative expenses are comprised of, among other things, payroll and related costs, sales and marketing, information technology services and professional fees.
Proposed Merger
On November 7, 2022, we entered into the Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization (the “Merger Agreement”) with Ritchie Bros. Auctioneers Incorporated, a company organized under the federal laws of Canada (“RBA”), Ritchie Bros. Holdings Inc., a Washington corporation and a direct and indirect wholly owned subsidiary of RBA (“US Holdings”), Impala Merger Sub I, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of US Holdings (“Merger Sub 1”), and Impala Merger Sub II, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of US Holdings (“Merger Sub 2”), providing for RBA’s acquisition of the Company in a stock and cash transaction. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, at the closing of the transactions (i) Merger Sub 1 will be merged with and into us (the “First Merger”), with us surviving as an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of RBA and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of US Holdings (the “Surviving Corporation”), and (ii) immediately following the consummation of the First Merger, the Surviving Corporation will be merged with and into Merger Sub 2 (together with the First Merger, the “Mergers”), with Merger Sub 2 surviving as a direct wholly owned subsidiary of US Holdings. At the effective time of the First Merger, each issued and outstanding share of common stock of the Company (other than certain customary excluded shares) as of immediately prior to such effective time will be converted automatically into the right to receive (A) 0.5804 of a common share, without par value, of RBA (“RBA Common Shares”) and (B) $10.00 in cash, without interest (together, the “Merger Consideration”). Upon completion of the Mergers, RBA stockholders will own approximately 59% of the common shares of the combined company and our stockholders will own approximately 41% of the common shares of the combined company.
The Mergers are expected to close in the first half of 2023, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions to closing set forth in the Merger Agreement. We currently operate, and until completion of the Mergers will continue to operate, independently of RBA. See Note 11 – Subsequent Events in the notes to consolidated financial statements and Item 1.01 of our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on November 7, 2022 for additional information regarding the proposed Merger.
Market Trends and Uncertainties
The global economy has recently experienced extreme volatility and disruptions, inflationary conditions, including increases in fuel prices, disruptions in the global supply chain and uncertainty about economic stability. The higher production costs and supply chain disruptions related to new vehicles continue to keep new vehicle prices elevated resulting in an increase in used car prices. This increase in used car prices has contributed to our higher average selling prices and revenue per unit, which have been offset slightly by higher purchased vehicle costs. As a result of macroeconomic conditions, we are continuing to experience labor, towing and other transportation pressures, which have increased our associated costs and adversely impacted our gross margin. In addition, rising interest rates are increasing our interest expense related to our variable debt obligations. We believe the foregoing direct and indirect impacts of the current macroeconomic environment will continue to impact our business in fiscal 2022.

Our Recent Acquisitions
On October 26, 2021, we acquired SYNETIQ Ltd. (“SYNETIQ”), a leading integrated salvage and vehicle dismantling company in the United Kingdom. The cash purchase price for SYNETIQ, including working capital and other adjustments, was $314.2 million (£228.2 million), of which $260.2 million (£189.0 million) was paid out in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021. The remaining payment of $54.0 million (£39.2 million) was paid out in the first quarter of fiscal 2022 upon receiving required approvals from the U.K. Competition and Markets Authority (“CMA”). The results of operations of SYNETIQ are included in our International segment from the date of the acquisition. See Note 8 – Acquisition in the notes to consolidated financial statements for additional information on this acquisition.
On June 18, 2021, we acquired Marisat, Inc. d/b/a Auto Exchange ("Auto Exchange"), a salvage auction provider located in New Jersey. The results of operations of Auto Exchange are included in our United States segment from the date of the acquisition.
Share Repurchase Program
On August 2, 2021, our Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program under which we can repurchase up to $400.0 million (exclusive of fees and commissions) of shares of our common stock (the “Repurchase Program”). The Repurchase Program expires on August 3, 2026. During the nine months ended October 2, 2022, we repurchased 751,285 shares of our common stock for an aggregate gross purchase price of approximately $27.2 million pursuant to the Repurchase Program. As of October 2, 2022, approximately $338.8 million remained available under the Repurchase Program. See Note 5 - Net Income Per Share in the notes to consolidated financial statements for additional information on the Repurchase Program. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, we are restricted from repurchasing shares of our common stock without RBA’s prior consent.

Three Months Ended October 2, 2022 versus September 26, 2021
United States service revenues increased by $26.3 million due to an increase in revenue per unit of 12%, which primarily resulted from higher average selling prices due to increased buyer participation, enhanced product and service offerings and higher used car prices. This increase was partially offset by a lower volume of vehicles sold, which decreased by 4% primarily due to the previous loss of significant volume from a single vehicle supplier, partially offset by volume gains from other vehicle suppliers.
International service revenues increased by $12.6 million due to incremental revenue of $6.6 million from SYNETIQ, and a higher volume of vehicles sold, which increased by 16% primarily due to higher miles driven in Canada and was partially offset by lower volume of vehicles sold in the U.K. International service revenues also benefited from an increase in revenue per unit of 10%, which primarily resulted from higher average selling prices due to increased buyer participation, enhanced product and service offerings and higher used car prices.

As a result of current macroeconomic conditions, we are continuing to experience labor, towing and other transportation pressures, which have increased our associated costs in both segments. See “Executive Overview—Market Trends and Uncertainties” for additional information.
Three Months Ended October 2, 2022 versus September 26, 2021

Three Months Ended October 2, 2022 versus September 26, 2021
Interest expense increased by $2.2 million as compared to the prior year period primarily due to higher interest rates on our floating rate debt.
Nine Months Ended October 2, 2022 versus September 26, 2021
Interest expense decreased by $10.0 million as compared to the prior year period due to a $10.3 million loss on early extinguishment of debt recognized in the second quarter of fiscal 2021 partially offset by higher interest rates on our floating rate debt.

The effective tax rate was 25.7% for the three months ended October 2, 2022 as compared to 23.2% for the three months ended September 26, 2021. The effective tax rate for the three months ended October 2, 2022 was adversely affected from a change in the estimate related to forecasted global income and state income taxes.
Nine Months Ended October 2, 2022 versus September 26, 2021
The effective tax rate was 20.1% for the nine ended October 2, 2022 as compared to 24.4% for the nine months ended September 26, 2021. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended October 2, 2022 benefited from favorable adjustments of $12.7 million resulting from a change in the estimate for Foreign Derived Intangible Income.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We believe that the significant indicators of liquidity for our business are cash on hand, cash flow from operations and working capital. Our principal source of liquidity consists of cash generated by operations. Our Revolving Credit Facility (as defined below) provides another source of liquidity as needed.
Our cash flow is used to invest in new products and services, fund capital expenditures and working capital requirements and, coupled with borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility, is expected to be adequate to satisfy our cash requirements, including those listed below, fund future acquisitions, and repurchase shares of our common stock, if any. Our ability to fund our cash requirements will depend on our ongoing ability to generate cash from operations and to access borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility. We believe that our cash on hand, future cash from operations, borrowings available under our Revolving Credit Facility and access to the debt and capital markets will provide adequate resources to fund our operating and financing needs for the next twelve months and beyond.
Approximately $41.3 million of available cash was held by our foreign subsidiaries as of October 2, 2022. We do not currently expect to incur significant additional tax liabilities if funds held by our foreign subsidiaries were to be repatriated.
There have been no material changes to our cash requirements from known contractual and other obligations reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 2, 2022 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on February 28, 2022.
Debt Service Obligations
On April 30, 2021, we entered into a credit agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, and the other lenders from time to time party thereto (the "Credit Agreement"). The Credit Agreement provides for, among other things: (i) a senior secured term loan in an aggregate principal amount of $650 million (the "Term Loan") and (ii) a senior secured revolving credit facility with revolving commitments in an aggregate principal amount of $525 million (the "Revolving Credit Facility" and, together with the Term Loan, the “Credit Facility”). Borrowing availability under the Revolving Credit Facility is subject to no default or event of default under the Credit Agreement having occurred at the time of borrowing. The Credit Facility matures on April 30, 2026. As of October 2, 2022, $641.9 million was outstanding under the Term Loan and no borrowings were outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility. As of October 2, 2022, the interest rate per annum for the Term Loan was 4.49%. We were in compliance with the covenants in the Credit Agreement at October 2, 2022.
On June 6, 2019, we issued $500.0 million aggregate principal amount of 5.500% Senior Notes due 2027. We must pay interest on the Notes in cash on June 15 and December 15 of each year at a rate of 5.500% per annum. The Notes will mature on June 15, 2027. We were in compliance with the covenants in the indenture governing the Notes at October 2, 2022.
See Note 5 - Debt in the notes to consolidated financial statements for additional information on our outstanding indebtedness.
Capital Expenditures
Capital expenditures for the nine months ended October 2, 2022 and September 26, 2021 were $135.9 million and $80.0 million, respectively. Our capital expenditures during the nine months ended October 2, 2022 primarily related to real estate purchases and development and technology-based investments, including improvements in information technology systems and infrastructure. Capital expenditures were funded primarily from cash flow from operations. We continue to invest in our core information technology capabilities and capacity expansion. Future capital expenditures could vary substantially based on capital project timing, the opening of new auction facilities, capital expenditures related to acquired businesses and the initiation of new information systems projects to support our business strategies. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, we are restricted from engaging in capital expenditures beyond certain levels without RBA’s prior consent.
Acquisitions
Some of our prior years' acquisitions included contingent payments based on certain conditions and future performance. As of October 2, 2022, we had estimated contingent consideration with a fair value of approximately $5.5 million (based on Level 3
30
inputs), of which $2.6 million is reported in current liabilities, Other accrued expenses line, and $2.9 million is reported in non-current liabilities, Other liabilities line, within the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. These contingent consideration payments will be made over the next 4 years, subject to satisfaction of the relevant conditions and future performance.

Net cash provided by operating activities during the nine months ended October 2, 2022 increased by $32.0 million as compared to the nine months ended September 26, 2021. The increase in operating cash flow was primarily attributable to changes in accounts receivable as a result of the timing of collections from customers and an increase in profitability, net of non-cash adjustments, of $20.9 million. These increases were partially offset by changes in payables and accruals as a result of the timing of funds disbursement to vehicle consignors and vendors, a decrease in incentive-based compensation and an increase in operating lease payments.
Net cash used by investing activities during the nine months ended October 2, 2022 increased by $13.5 million as compared to the nine months ended September 26, 2021. The increase was primarily related to an increase in cash used for capital expenditures during the nine months ended October 2, 2022 (see "Capital Expenditures" above for additional information). This increase was partially offset by the proceeds from the sale of a property in South Carolina which was simultaneously leased back to the Company.
Net cash used by financing activities was $222.6 million for the nine months ended October 2, 2022 as compared to $144.6 million for the nine months ended September 26, 2021. The increase in net cash used by financing activities was primarily attributable to the contingent consideration payments of $54.7 million relating to SYNETIQ and other prior acquisitions, a net increase in payments of our debt of $49.1 million, and $27.2 million in repurchases of our common stock under our Repurchase Program. These increases were partially offset by an increase in book overdrafts of $47.0 million and deferred financing costs of $4.8 million in the prior year period.
Critical Accounting Estimates
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the amount of reported assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and revenues and expenses during the periods reported. Actual results may differ from those estimates. If these estimates differ significantly from actual results, the impact to the consolidated financial statements may be material. Other than as described below with respect to our assessment of goodwill, there have been no material changes in our critical accounting policies disclosed in Part II, Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 2, 2022 filed with the SEC on February 28, 2022.
During the third quarter of fiscal 2022, we updated our forecasts which resulted in a decline in the International reporting unit's operating results and projections. We identified this as a triggering event and determined that the carrying amount of the International reporting unit's goodwill should be evaluated for impairment at October 2, 2022. The impairment test indicated that the fair value of the International reporting unit exceeded its carrying value by approximately 40% and therefore no goodwill impairment was recorded. The goodwill allocated to the International reporting unit was $250.1 million as of October 2, 2022.
The valuation of the reporting unit requires significant judgment and is sensitive to underlying assumptions including forecasted revenues, costs and discount rate, as well as the selection of comparable companies and valuation multiples. Further declines in future cash flows or valuation multiples could negatively impact the estimated fair value and result in an impairment for the reporting unit which could be material to our consolidated financial statements.
31
We do not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements, if adopted, would have a material impact on our unaudited consolidated financial statements or disclosures.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
There were no material changes to market risks and related disclosures from those disclosed under “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 2, 2022 filed with the SEC on February 28, 2022.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act)) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.
As of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we carried out an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective, at the reasonable assurance level, as of October 2, 2022.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended October 2, 2022, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

You should also be aware that these risk factors and other information may not describe every risk facing our Company.
Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results.
Risks Related to Mergers with RBA
The announcement and pendency of the Mergers with RBA may have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations and stock price.
On November 7, 2022, we entered into the Merger Agreement pursuant to which RBA will acquire the Company in a stock and cash transaction. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, upon completion of the Mergers, RBA stockholders will own approximately 59% of the common shares of the combined company and our stockholders will own approximately 41% of the common shares of the combined company. We currently operate, and until completion of the Mergers will continue to operate, independently of RBA.
There are material uncertainties and risks associated with the Merger Agreement and the Mergers. If any of these uncertainties and risks develop into actual events, then our business, financial condition, results and ongoing operations, stock price or prospects could be materially adversely affected. These uncertainties and risks include, but are not limited to, the following:
•the announcement or pendency of the Mergers could adversely impact ability to attract, retain or motivate employees and our relationships with third parties, including our current and prospective customers, suppliers, vendors, landlords and other business partners;
•we may forego opportunities we might otherwise pursue absent the Mergers with RBA, including as a result of the restrictions imposed on our business and operations pursuant to certain covenants set forth in the Merger Agreement, which may prevent us from pursuing certain business or other strategic opportunities or taking other non-ordinary course actions without RBA’s prior consent, even if those actions would be beneficial to us;
•matters relating to the Merger, including integration planning, may require substantial commitments of time and resources by our management and employees and may otherwise divert the attention of management and employees, which could otherwise have been devoted to other opportunities that may have been beneficial to us;
•the pendency and outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against us, our directors and others relating to the transactions contemplated by the Mergers, could result in significant costs of defense, indemnification or liability or prevent or delay the consummation of the Mergers; and
•our directors and executive officers have financial interests in the Mergers that may be different from, or in addition to, the interests of our stockholders generally, which could have influenced their decisions to support or approve the Mergers.
33
In addition, since a majority of the consideration that our stockholders will receive in the Mergers will consist of RBA Common Shares, prior to the closing of the Mergers our stock price will be impacted by changes in RBA’s share price (as discussed below).
In addition, we have incurred, and will continue to incur, significant costs, expenses and fees for professional services, other transaction costs and employee retention costs in connection with the Mergers, many of which fees and costs are payable by us regardless of whether the Mergers are consummated.
The Mergers are subject to various closing conditions, including regulatory approvals and approvals by our and RBA’s stockholders, as well as other uncertainties. There can be no assurances as to whether or when the Mergers will be completed.
Completion of the Mergers is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of a number of closing conditions. It is possible that such conditions may prevent, delay or otherwise materially impact the completion of the Mergers. The closing of the Mergers is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions including, among other things, (a) in the case of RBA, the approval of the issuance of the RBA Common Shares in connection with the Mergers by the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast by holders of the outstanding RBA Common Shares at its stockholder meeting, (b) in the case of the Company, the adoption of the Merger Agreement by the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock, (c) certain approvals, clearances and/or expirations of waiting periods under applicable antitrust laws, (d) a registration statement on Form S-4 to be filed by RBA being declared effective by the SEC, (e) the approval for listing by the NYSE and TSX of the RBA Common Shares to be issued pursuant to the Merger Agreement, (f) subject to certain materiality exceptions, the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the other party contained in the Merger Agreement and the compliance by the other party with its covenants contained in the Merger Agreement, (g) the absence of a material adverse effect with respect to the other party, (h) the receipt by us of an opinion from tax counsel as to the Mergers qualifying as a “reorganization” and not resulting in gain recognition for certain Company stockholders under the applicable provisions of the Internal Revenue Code and (i) other customary closing conditions.
The governmental authorities from which authorizations are required have broad discretion in administering the applicable laws and regulations, and may take into account various facts and circumstances in their consideration of the Mergers or the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement. Although we and RBA have agreed, subject to certain exceptions, to use efforts and accept certain remedies to obtain the requisite governmental approvals, there can be no assurance that these approvals will be obtained, and the governmental entities from which these approvals are required may impose conditions on the completion of the Mergers or require changes to the terms of the Mergers. Any such conditions or changes could have the effect of jeopardizing or delaying completion of the Mergers. Any delay in completing the Mergers may significantly reduce the synergies projected to result from the Mergers and other benefits that the parties expect to achieve if they successfully complete the Mergers. The parties are not obligated to consummate the Mergers under certain circumstances, including if the required approvals by our stockholders and RBA’s stockholders are not obtained. In addition, other factors, such as RBA’s ability to obtain the debt financing it needs to complete the Mergers on acceptable terms and other sources of cash to consummate the Mergers, and any litigation challenging the Merger, may affect when and whether the Mergers will occur. If the Mergers are not completed on or before 5:00 p.m. New York City time on August 7, 2023 (subject to extension as provided in the Merger Agreement), either RBA or we may choose to terminate the Merger Agreement. RBA or we may also elect to terminate the Merger Agreement in certain other circumstances, and the parties can mutually decide to terminate the Merger Agreement at any time prior to the closing, before or after the required stockholder approvals, as applicable.
Failure to complete the Mergers, or a delay in the completion of the Mergers, could negatively impact our business, results of operations, financial condition and stock price.
If the Mergers or the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement are not completed for any reason, including as a result of our stockholders failing to adopt the Merger Agreement or RBA’s stockholders failing to approve the issuance of RBA Common Shares in the Mergers, we will remain an independent public company. Our ongoing business may be materially and adversely affected by the failure to complete the Mergers, or by a delay in the completion of the Mergers, and we may suffer consequences that could adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition and stock price, including the following:
•we could be required to pay a termination fee of $189 million if the Merger Agreement is terminated in certain circumstances, including because our Board of Directors has changed its recommendation in favor of the Merger, if we terminate the Merger Agreement to accept a superior proposal or in certain circumstances if an alternative acquisition proposal is made prior to the termination of the Merger Agreement and we enter into a definitive agreement providing an alternative transaction within 12 months of such termination;
34
•matters relating to the Mergers will require substantial commitments of time and resources by our management and the expenditure of significant funds in the form of fees and expenses, which would otherwise have been devoted to day-to-day operations and other opportunities that may have been beneficial to us as an independent company;
•we may be subject to legal proceedings related to the potential delay of or failure to consummate the Mergers;
•the failure of the Mergers to be consummated may result in negative publicity and a negative impression of us in the investment community;
•disruptions to our business resulting from the announcement and pendency of the acquisition, including any adverse changes in our relationships with our customers, business partners and employees, may continue or intensify in the event the Mergers is delayed or not consummated;
•the Merger Agreement places certain restrictions on the conduct of our business, and such restrictions, the waiver of which is subject to the consent of RBA, may prevent us from making certain acquisitions, entering into or amending certain contracts, taking certain other specified actions or otherwise pursuing business opportunities during the pendency of the Mergers that we would have made, taken or pursued if these restrictions were not in place; and
•we may experience an increase in employee departures in the event the Mergers are delayed or not consummated.
In addition, we could be subject to litigation related to any failure to complete the Mergers or related to any proceeding to specifically enforce our performance obligations under the Merger Agreement. Similarly, delays in the completion of the Mergers could, among other things, result in additional transaction costs, loss of revenue or other negative effects associated with delay and uncertainty. If any of these risks materialize, they may materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, financial results and stock price.
Because the exchange ratio is fixed and the market price of RBA’s common shares has fluctuated and will continue to fluctuate, our stockholders cannot be certain of the ultimate value of the Merger Consideration (as defined below) they will receive in the Mergers.
Upon completion of the Mergers, each share of our common stock that is outstanding immediately prior to the Mergers will be automatically converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration, which consists of (1) 0.5804 shares of RBA’s common stock and (2) $10.00 in cash. The exchange ratio is fixed and will not be adjusted to reflect stock price changes of either our common stock or RBA Common Shares prior to the closing of the Mergers. As a result, the ultimate value of the share consideration will depend on the market price of RBA Common Shares at the time the Mergers are completed and our stockholders cannot be sure of the market value of the share component of the Merger Consideration they will receive upon completion of the Mergers.
The market price of RBA Common Shares has fluctuated since the date of the announcement of the Mergers and is expected to continue to fluctuate through and after the date the Mergers are completed, which could occur a considerable amount of time after the date hereof. Changes in the price of RBA’s Common Share may result from a variety of factors, including, among others:
•general market and economic conditions and other factors affecting the price of our common stock or RBA Common Shares;
•changes in RBA’s and our respective businesses, operations and prospects and the risks inherent in our respective businesses;
•changes in market assessments of the likelihood that the Mergers will be completed and/or the value that may be generated by the Mergers; and
•changes with respect to expectations regarding the timing of the Mergers and regulatory considerations.
35
Many of these factors are beyond our and RBA’s control. In addition, the use of cash and incurrence of substantial indebtedness in connection with the financing of the Mergers may have an adverse impact on RBA’s liquidity, limit RBA’s flexibility in responding to other business opportunities and increase RBA’ s vulnerability to adverse economic and industry conditions, each of which could adversely affect RBA’s share price prior to closing and that of the combined company following closing.
Potential litigation filed against us or RBA could prevent or delay the completion of the Mergers or result in the payment of damages following completion of the Mergers.
We and members of our Board of Directors or executive officers may in the future be parties, among others, to various claims and litigation related to or arising out of the Mergers, including putative stockholder class actions. RBA and its executive officers and members of its Board of Directors may also be the subject of potential claims and litigation related to or arising out of the Mergers. Among other remedies, the plaintiffs in such matters may seek to enjoin the Mergers. The results of complex legal proceedings are difficult to predict, and could delay or prevent the Mergers from becoming effective in a timely manner. The existence of litigation relating to the Mergers could impact the likelihood of obtaining the requisite approvals from stockholders of either RBA or the Company. Moreover, any future litigation could be time consuming and expensive, could divert our attention away from regular business, and, if any one of these potential lawsuits is adversely resolved, could have a material adverse effect on our or the combined company’s business, results of operations or financial condition.
The Merger Agreement contains provisions that limit our ability to pursue alternatives to the Mergers and could discourage a potential competing acquirer of us or could result in any competing proposal being at a lower price than it might otherwise be.
The Merger Agreement contains certain restrictions on our ability to solicit alternative acquisition proposals from third parties, to provide information to third parties, to enter into or continue discussions or negotiations with third parties regarding alternative acquisition proposals, to enter into any commitment with respect to any alternative acquisition proposal or to recommend or approve any alternative acquisition proposal. In addition, subject to certain customary “fiduciary out” exceptions, our Board of Directors is required to recommend that our stockholders vote in favor of the adoption of the Merger Agreement at the special stockholder meeting we will hold in connection with the Mergers. In addition, we may be required to pay RBA a termination fee of $189 million in certain circumstances, including if the Merger Agreement is terminated in certain circumstances following our receipt of an alternative acquisition proposal.
These provisions might discourage an otherwise-interested third party from considering or proposing an acquisition to acquire all or a significant party of the Company, including proposals that may be deemed to offer greater value to our stockholders than the Merger Consideration. Furthermore, even if a third party elects to propose an acquisition, the requirement that we must pay a termination fee to accept any such proposal may cause that third party to offer a lower price to our stockholders than such third party might otherwise have offered.
While the Merger Agreement is in effect, we are subject to restrictions on our business activities.
While the Merger Agreement is in effect, we are generally required to use reasonable efforts to conduct our business in the ordinary course in all material respects and are restricted from taking certain actions set forth in the Merger Agreement without RBA’s prior consent. These limitations include, among other things, issuing stock or equity awards subject to specified carve-outs, hiring, promoting or terminating employees, incurring indebtedness other than certain revolving credit facility borrowings, engaging in capital expenditures beyond certain levels, terminating, materially modifying or materially amending certain material contracts or entering into certain material contracts. These restrictions could prevent us from pursuing strategic business opportunities and taking actions with respect to our business that we may consider advantageous and may, as a result, materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.
After completion of the Mergers, RBA may fail to realize the projected benefits and cost savings of the Mergers, which could adversely affect the value of RBA Common Shares.
The success of the Mergers will depend, in part, on RBA’s ability to realize the anticipated benefits and cost savings from combining the respective businesses of us and RBA, including operational and other synergies that we believe the combined company will be able to achieve. The anticipated benefits and cost savings of the Mergers may not be realized fully or at all, may take longer to realize than expected or could have other adverse effects that we do not currently foresee. Some of the assumptions that we have made, such as the achievement of operating synergies, may not be realized. The integration process may, for us and RBA, result in the loss of key employees, the disruption of ongoing businesses or inconsistencies in standards, controls, procedures and policies. There could be potential unknown liabilities and unforeseen expenses associated with the Mergers that were not discovered in the course of performing due diligence. Additionally, the integration will require significant time and focus from management following the Mergers.

In addition, in connection with the proposed Mergers, on November 7, 2022, RBA entered into a commitment letter pursuant to which the initial lenders thereunder are committing to provide (i) a backstop senior secured revolving credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of up to $750 million (the “Backstop Revolving Facility”) and (ii) a senior secured 364-day bridge loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of up to $2.8 billion (the “Bridge Loan Facility,” and together with the Backstop Revolving Facility, the “Facilities”). RBA expects to replace the Bridge Loan Facility prior to the closing of the Mergers with permanent financing, which may include the issuance of debt securities and/or one or more senior term loan facilities. Taking on additional indebtedness in connection with the proposed Mergers, as a result of the borrowings under the Bridge Loan Facility and/or other permanent financing that replaces such facility, would increase the cash outlays to service RBA’s debt in future periods. If the combined company’s cash flows and capital resources are insufficient to fund debt service obligations, it could face substantial liquidity problems and could be forced to reduce or delay investments and capital expenditures or to dispose of material assets or operations, seek additional debt or equity capital or restructure or refinance its indebtedness.
