What's Driving CART's Business? Latest 10-Q Breakdown

32/32 datapoints verified

Biggest Revenue Drivers

Total revenue: $1,019M+14% YoY

Transaction revenue$733M+13% YoY

Growth driven by 13% GTV growth and increased fulfillment efficiencies, partially offset by lower payment revenue.

Advertising and other revenue$286M+16% YoY

Largest Expense Items

Cost of revenue$281M+24% YoY

Increase of $16M in credit card processing fees, $12M in payments to publishers, and $10M in depreciation/amortization.

Sales and marketing$230M+6% YoY

  • Free cash flow declined 10% to $253M YoY despite 36% net income growth, primarily due to working capital fluctuations and $60M regulatory settlement payment.

AI Insight: CART Financial Trends

Revenue crossed $1B in Q1 2026 while operating income hit a five-quarter high of $182M, signaling durable margin expansion despite a sharp Q4 2025 earnings dip.

Revenue grew steadily from $823M in Q2 2024 to $1,019M in Q1 2026, a 23.8% increase over six quarters.

Operating income surged to $182M in Q1 2026, the highest in the dataset, up from $52M in Q2 2024.

Operating cash flow remained strong at $268M in Q1 2026, recovering after dipping to $153M in Q4 2024.

Equity contracted sharply from $3,458M in Q3 2025 to $2,395M in Q1 2026, a $1,063M decline in two quarters.

Net income collapsed to $81M in Q4 2025 despite $992M revenue — the sharpest earnings drop in the dataset; cause warrants scrutiny.

Equity fell $940M+ over Q4 2025–Q1 2026; absent debt data, whether buybacks or losses drove this is unclear.

No debt figures are available across all periods, making leverage assessment and balance-sheet risk impossible to evaluate.

AI Insight: CART Ratio Trends

CART's Q1 2026 ROIC surged to 30.4%, its highest in the dataset, signaling a sharp step-up in capital efficiency.

ROIC expanded from 13.9% in Q1 2025 to 30.4% in Q1 2026, a 16.5pp year-over-year improvement.

Operating margin rose from 12.3% in Q1 2025 to 17.9% in Q1 2026, continuing a year-over-year expansion trend.

ROE jumped from 13.4% in Q1 2025 to 24.1% in Q1 2026, the highest quarterly reading in the dataset.

Results show consistent seasonal softness in Q1 and Q4, with Q4 2025 OpMargin dropping to 9.8% before rebounding.

Q4 2025 OpMargin collapsed to 9.8% — lowest since Q2 2024 — suggesting recurring fourth-quarter cost or revenue pressure.

D/E is unavailable across all periods; leverage structure remains unverifiable, a key gap for balance-sheet assessment.

Q1 2026 ROIC of 30.4% is a significant outlier; sustainability into Q2 2026 will confirm whether this is structural.
