SAN DIEGO, March 25, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Johnson Fistel, LLP announces that a class action lawsuit has commenced on behalf of shareholders of Vroom, Inc. (NASDAQ: VRM) common stock during the period between June 9, 2020 and March 3, 2021, inclusive (the "Class Period").

The complaint alleges that, during the Class Period, defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (i) Vroom was unable to sell a significant portion of existing inventory as a result of inadequate sales personnel and overreliance on third-party sales support; (ii) Vroom's lack of adequate sales and support staff had resulted in severe growth constraints, degraded customer experience, lost sales opportunities and a greater than 10% increase in average days to sale for Vroom products; (iii) Vroom had been forced to markdown and liquidate existing inventory at fire-sale prices; and (iv) as a result of the foregoing, defendants' positive statements about Vroom's business, operations, and prospects were materially misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis.

On March 3, 2021, Vroom announced its fourth quarter and full-year 2020 financial results. Therein, Vroom reported that fourth-quarter "Ecommerce Vehicle gross profit per unit decreased 13.1% to $878, driven primarily by lower sales margins, partially offset by improvements in inbound logistics and reconditioning costs per unit." Vroom also reported that for the fourth quarter, its "[n]et loss increased 41.9% to $60.7 million." During the accompanying earnings call, defendants revealed that Vroom was suffering from serious sales and support bottlenecks which had severely constrained the Company's growth and profits per vehicle. On this news, Vroom's stock price fell 28%, damaging investors.
