ACV Auctions grew revenue in its fiscal Q4 2025, stepping up its investment in artificial intelligence (AI)-powered tools, no-reserve vehicle sales, and commercial remarketing as it works to move more wholesale vehicle transactions from physical auctions to digital channels.
The Buffalo, New York-based company said dealers relied more heavily on its technology late last year despite uneven market conditions. That helped to drive double-digit revenue growth in both its fiscal Q4 and full-year 2025.
ACV Auctions reported revenue of $184 million in Q4 2025, up 15% from $160 million a year earlier.
The company recorded a net loss of $20 million for the quarter. That compared with a $26 million loss in the fourth quarter of 2024, reducing the loss by about 23% year over year.
How many vehicles did ACV Auctions sell through its marketplace in 2025?
ACV Auctions said it sold 192,757 vehicles throughout its marketplace during the quarter. That’s up 5% from a year earlier. The total dollar value of vehicles sold rose 2% to $2.3 billion.
For all of 2025, ACV Auctions reported revenue of $760 million. That’s a 19% increase from $637 million in 2024.
The company posted a full-year net loss of $66 million. That compared with a $79.7 million loss the prior year, improving results by 17%.
Marketplace activity continued to grow. ACV Auctions said it sold 829,276 vehicles through its platform in 2025. That’s up 12% from 2024, while the total value of vehicles sold climbed 9% to $10.4 billion.
“We are very pleased with our fourth-quarter results,” said CEO George Chamoun. He cited continued market share gains and faster adoption of the company’s dealer tools.
How ACV Auctions grew revenue in Q4 2025
Executives said ACV Auctions is increasingly positioning itself as a broader technology partner to dealerships rather than just an online auction venue.
One area of focus is Viper, a new inspection and appraisal system for dealership service lanes. The system is intended to help dealers make faster, more consistent offers to consumers trading in vehicles. ACV Auctions said early deployments are underway, with a cautious rollout planned as the company fine-tunes the product based on dealer feedback.
ACV Auctions is also expanding its no-reserve “guarantee” sales, which allow buyers to bid knowing a vehicle will sell while giving sellers more certainty about outcomes. These companies said these non-reserve sales accounted for 19% of marketplace volume in Q4, up from earlier periods, and are drawing increased bidder participation.
On the commercial side, ACV Auctions said it opened its first purpose-built remarketing center in Houston. And it plans to launch another in Chicago this year, targeting fleet and commercial sellers looking for a more digital sales process.
Looking ahead, ACV Auctions forecasts 2026 revenue of $845 million to $855 million. That would represent 11% to 13% growth from 2025.
The company expects to continue reporting losses under standard accounting rules in 2026, but it said results should improve as revenue grows. ACV Auctions also said it plans to invest more heavily in inspectors and regional coverage to support expansion, particularly in newer markets.
Chamoun said those investments are to strengthen ACV’s long-term position as more wholesale vehicle transactions shift online, even if market conditions remain uneven in the near term.
