| carsales.com is the flagship Australian online vehicle marketplace within CAR Group Limited, the corporate name adopted by the listed parent in 2023. The business connects private sellers and dealers with buyers and earns revenue from vehicle listings, dealer subscriptions, advertising, data products and related digital services. CAR Group operates wholly owned marketplace businesses in Australia under carsales, South Korea through Encar, the United States through Trader Interactive and Chile through chileautos. It is also the majority shareholder of Webmotors in Brazil. The group's marketplaces cover automotive, commercial, industrial and leisure vehicles, supported by shared data and technology. CAR Group is an ASX 50 company, while the carsales consumer brand remains active in Australia despite the parent's name change. This record should therefore be read as the carsales.com business and historical investor identity within today's CAR Group, not as a separate company unrelated to the listed parent. | $16 | -32% | $6.1B | $7B | 8.0x | 15.1x | ||
