RICHMOND, Va.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–CarMax, Inc. (NYSE:KMX), the nation’s largest and most profitable retailer of used cars, today reported results for the third quarter ended November 30, 2021.
Highlights:
- Record net revenues of $8.5 billion, up 64.5% compared with the prior year third quarter.
-
Net earnings per diluted share of $1.63, up 14.8% from a then-record $1.42 per diluted share a year ago.
- Net earnings per diluted share for the current year’s quarter included a one-time benefit of $0.10 in connection with the receipt of settlement proceeds in a class action lawsuit.
-
Sold 415,054 units through our combined retail and wholesale channels, up 29.3% from the prior year quarter, primarily driven by solid execution, the growing demand for our online offerings, ramping inventory and staffing levels, and the continued success of vehicle sourcing directly from consumers.
- Retail used unit sales increased 16.9% to a third quarter record of 227,424 vehicles, and comparable store used unit sales increased 15.8%.
- Wholesale units increased 48.5% to 187,630 vehicles, also a third quarter record.
-
Bought 383,215 vehicles from consumers in the third quarter, a 91% increase versus the prior year quarter. Approximately 194,000 of these vehicles were purchased through our nationwide online instant appraisal offerings.
-
Gross profit per retail used unit of $2,235 and gross profit per wholesale unit of $1,131, representing increases of $84 and $225 per unit, respectively, versus last year’s third quarter.
-
CarMax Auto Finance (CAF) income decreased 5.9% to $166.0 million, as last year’s third quarter benefited from a significantly reduced loan loss provision. Improvements in CAF’s net interest margin and robust growth in average managed receivables in the current year’s quarter largely offset the effect of this year’s more normalized provision.
CEO Commentary:
“Our solid execution, customer-centric omni-channel strategy, and macro factors are driving strong performance across our diversified businesses,” said Bill Nash, president and chief executive officer. “Our top line momentum continued into this quarter and we achieved record levels of third quarter unit sales in both retail and wholesale, generating all-time record revenues. We also bought more cars from customers than ever before. We are excited about the opportunities ahead of us and believe that by delivering the most customer-centric experience in the industry, we will enable sustainable growth and create meaningful long-term shareholder value.”
Third Quarter Business Performance Review:
Sales. Combined retail and wholesale used vehicle unit sales were 415,054, an increase of 29.3% from the prior year’s third quarter. Online retail sales(1) accounted for 9% of retail unit sales, compared with 5% in the third quarter of last year. Revenue from online transactions(2), including retail and wholesale unit sales, was $2.5 billion, or approximately 30% of net revenues, compared with 20% of net revenues in last year’s third quarter.
Total retail used vehicle unit sales increased 16.9% to 227,424 and comparable store used unit sales increased 15.8% from the prior year’s third quarter. We believe several factors contributed to our comparable store sales growth, including solid execution, the growing demand for our online offerings, ramping inventory and staffing levels, and the continued success of vehicle sourcing directly from consumers. Total retail used vehicle revenues increased 52.9% compared with the prior year’s third quarter due to an increase in the average retail selling price, which rose nearly $6,600 per unit, or 30.8%, together with the growth in retail used units sold. The increase in average retail selling price largely reflected higher vehicle acquisition costs resulting from strong wholesale industry valuations.
Total wholesale vehicle unit sales increased 48.5% to 187,630 compared with the prior year’s third quarter. Wholesale sales benefited from the large increase in appraisal volume associated with our online appraisal offerings and a record third quarter buy rate. Total wholesale revenues increased 132.1% compared with the prior year’s third quarter due to the average wholesale selling price rising by more than $3,600 per unit, or 58.4%, together with the increase in wholesale units sold.
Other sales and revenues rose 15.7% compared with the third quarter of fiscal 2021, representing an increase of $23.1 million. The increase was largely driven by the consolidation of Edmunds earlier this fiscal year, as well as an improvement in net third-party finance fees due to favorability from our renegotiated fee agreements and lower Tier 3 originations. The increase was partially offset by the effect of the divestiture of our remaining new car franchises since last year’s third quarter.
Gross Profit. Total gross profit increased to $836.6 million, up 32.5% versus last year’s third quarter. Retail used vehicle gross profit rose 21.4%, reflecting the increase in retail used unit sales and an improvement in the related gross profit per unit, which rose $84 to $2,235.
Wholesale vehicle gross profit increased 85.5% versus the prior year’s quarter, reflecting both the growth in unit volume and an increase in the related gross profit per unit, which rose $225 to $1,131.
Other gross profit increased 17.9% largely reflecting the consolidation of Edmunds and the improvement in net third-party finance fees. This increase was partially offset by a reduction in service department margins resulting from our efforts to support our higher level of retail unit sales, which primarily included growing technician staffing, as well as shifting retail service capacity to support vehicle reconditioning. In addition, extended protection plan (EPP) profits rose 4.8%, as the benefit of our retail unit volume growth was largely offset by an unfavorable year-over-year change in cancellation reserves.
SG&A. Compared with the third quarter of fiscal 2021, SG&A expenses increased 33.7% to $575.9 million. Contributing factors included increases in staffing and sales-related compensation in the face of strong demand; continued spending on our technology platforms and strategic initiatives to support increased consumer demand for our digital experiences; an increase in share-based compensation largely reflecting changes in the company’s share price; the consolidation of Edmunds; and planned increases in advertising expense. In addition, the current year’s third quarter also included a one-time pretax benefit of $22.6 million from the receipt of settlement proceeds in a class action lawsuit.
SG&A as a percent of gross profit was 68.8%, versus 68.2% in the prior year’s third quarter. For the first nine months of fiscal 2022, SG&A as a percent of gross profit was 66.1% versus 68.9% in the prior year period.
CarMax Auto Finance.(3) CAF income decreased 5.9% to $166.0 million, primarily reflecting an increase in the provision for loan losses to $76.2 million in the current year’s third quarter compared with $8.2 million in the prior year’s third quarter. In the prior year’s third quarter, the provision for loan losses benefited from the continued reduction in the reserve that was established at the start of the COVID pandemic. Improvements in CAF’s net interest margin and the growth in average managed receivables largely offset the effect of the higher loan loss provision.
As of November 30, 2021, the allowance for loan losses was 2.75% of ending managed receivables, up from 2.66% as of August 31, 2021. The current quarter’s provision for loan losses largely reflected the expected lifetime losses on loans originated in the current quarter, but also included a 6 basis point adjustment for added Tier 2 and Tier 3 originations. The adjustment was primarily driven by the implementation of our Tier 2 origination test. Any future changes to the Tier 2 test will carefully consider the broader lending environment along with the sustainability of the change.
CAF’s total interest margin percentage, which represents the spread between interest and fees charged to consumers and our funding costs, improved to 7.2% of average managed receivables from 6.3% in the prior year’s third quarter, primarily due to lower funding costs. After the effect of 3-day payoffs, CAF financed 42.2% of units sold in the current quarter, compared with a historically high 45.7% in the prior year’s third quarter. In addition, we estimate the conversion of CAF’s auto loan servicing system during the current year’s quarter reduced CAF income by approximately $5 million for conversion-related costs.
Share Repurchase Activity. During the third quarter of fiscal 2022, we repurchased 0.9 million shares of common stock for $115.3 million pursuant to our share repurchase program. As of November 30, 2021, we had $876.2 million remaining available for repurchase under the outstanding authorization.
Store Openings. During the third quarter of fiscal 2022, we opened one new location. For the full fiscal year, we plan to open a total of ten new locations, including four new locations expected to open in the fourth quarter.
