RICHMOND, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--CarMax, Inc. today reported results for the third quarter ended November 30, 2018. Year-over-year highlights include:

  • Net sales and operating revenues increased 4.6% to $4.30 billion.
  • Used unit sales in comparable stores declined 1.2%.
  • Total used unit sales rose 2.3%.
  • Total wholesale unit sales increased 10.0%.
  • CarMax Auto Finance (CAF) income increased 6.7% to $109.7 million.
  • Net earnings increased 27.9% to $190.3 million and net earnings per diluted share increased 34.6% to $1.09.
                      *   Net earnings for the three months ended November 30, 2018 benefited from a decrease in the effective tax rate to 23.2% from 33.9% in the prior year’s third quarter, primarily reflecting the effect of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (the “2017 Tax Act”).

Third Quarter Business Performance Review

“We are pleased to report solid growth in both pretax earnings and earnings per share, despite having soft comparable store used unit sales this quarter,” said Bill Nash, president and chief executive officer. “This is a testament to the strength of our diversified business model. We are also excited to introduce our omni-channel experience in Atlanta, where consumers can now customize their car buying experience, whether they want to buy a car completely from home, in-store or, most importantly, through a seamlessly integrated combination of online and in-store experiences.”

Sales. Total used vehicle unit sales increased 2.3%, while comparable store used unit sales declined 1.2% versus the prior year’s third quarter. The comparable store sales performance primarily reflected lower store traffic, partially offset by improved conversion. In the prior year’s third quarter, our six Houston-area stores drove comparable store used unit sales growth in the wake of Hurricane Harvey; excluding these stores from the calculation, our current quarter comparable store used unit sales would have grown by 2.3%.

Total wholesale vehicle unit sales increased 10.0% compared with the third quarter of fiscal 2018, largely driven by the growth in our store base and a higher appraisal buy rate.

Other sales and revenues increased 12.1% compared with the third quarter of fiscal 2018. Extended protection plan (EPP) net revenues rose 11.1%, primarily reflecting cost decreases from plan providers. Net third-party finance fees improved $4.4 million, reflecting shifts in our sales mix by finance channel, including an increase in our Tier 2 and a decrease in our Tier 3 sales.

Gross Profit. Total gross profit increased 5.6% versus last year’s third quarter, to $569.2 million. Used vehicle gross profit rose 1.5%, reflecting the 2.3% increase in total used unit sales. Used vehicle gross profit per unit remained relatively stable at $2,133 compared with $2,148 in the prior year period. Wholesale vehicle gross profit increased 11.9% versus the prior year’s quarter, driven by the 10.0% increase in wholesale unit sales. Wholesale vehicle gross profit per unit was also largely consistent at $949 compared with $933 in last year’s third quarter. Other gross profit increased 16.4%, largely reflecting the improvements in EPP revenues and net third-party finance fees.

SG&A. Compared with the third quarter of fiscal 2018, SG&A expenses increased 2.5% to $409.5 million. Factors contributing to the year-over-year change included continued spending to advance our technology platforms and support our core and omni-channel strategic initiatives, and the 11% increase in our store base since the beginning of last year’s third quarter (representing the addition of 19 stores). These increases were partially offset by a $7.0 million decrease in stock-based compensation expense. SG&A per used unit was $2,361 in the current quarter, up $5 year-over-year. The decrease in stock-based compensation expense reduced SG&A per used unit by $42.

CarMax Auto Finance.(1) Compared with last year’s third quarter, CAF income increased 6.7% to $109.7 million. The increase reflected the net effects of an 8.4% increase in average managed receivables and a slightly lower total interest margin percentage. The total interest margin percentage, which represents the spread between interest and fees charged to consumers and our funding costs, was 5.6% of average managed receivables compared with 5.7% in last year’s third quarter. The provision for loan losses increased to $40.8 million from $37.5 million in the prior year quarter. The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of ending managed receivables remained stable at 1.12% as of November 30, 2018, compared with 1.11% as of November 30, 2017, and 1.13% as of August 31, 2018.

Interest Expense. Interest expense rose to $18.8 million from $17.4 million in the prior year’s third quarter, primarily reflecting higher interest rates in fiscal 2019.

Income Taxes. The effective tax rate fell to 23.2% in the third quarter of fiscal 2019 from 33.9% in the prior year’s third quarter, largely due to the reduction in the federal statutory tax rate following the enactment of the 2017 Tax Act.

Store Openings. During the third quarter of fiscal 2019, we opened four stores, all in new television markets (Wilmington, North Carolina; Lafayette, Louisiana; Corpus Christi, Texas; and Shreveport, Louisiana).

Share Repurchase Activity. During the third quarter of fiscal 2019, we repurchased 3.7 million shares of common stock for $254.3 million pursuant to our share repurchase program. Also during the third quarter, the Board of Directors approved a $2.0 billion expansion of this program, with no expiration date. As of November 30, 2018, we had $2.38 billion remaining available for repurchase under the outstanding authorizations.
