CARMAX REPORTS RECORD SECOND QUARTER RESULTS
Richmond, Va., September 23, 2014 – CarMax, Inc. (NYSE:KMX) today reported record second quarter results for the quarter ended August 31, 2014.
§ | Net sales and operating revenues increased 10.9% to $3.60 billion. |
§ | Used unit sales in comparable stores increased 0.2%. |
§ | Total used unit sales rose 6.3%. |
§ | Total wholesale unit sales increased 7.4%. |
§ | CarMax Auto Finance (CAF) income increased 9.7% to $92.6 million. |
§ | Net earnings grew 10.2% to $154.5 million. Net earnings per diluted share rose 12.9% to $0.70. |
o | Net earnings per diluted share for the current quarter included a $0.06 benefit in connection with our receipt of settlement proceeds in a previously disclosed class action lawsuit. |
“We are pleased to report record second quarter results, even before considering the benefit of the settlement proceeds,” said Tom Folliard, president and chief executive officer. “The continued growth in our store base and improvements across our used, wholesale and CAF operations, as well as our share repurchase program, all contributed to our record second quarter earnings per share.”
Second Quarter Business Performance Review
Sales. Total used vehicle unit sales grew 6.3% and comparable store used unit sales increased 0.2% versus the prior year’s second quarter. This growth was on top of increases of 21.1% in total used units and 15.9% in comparable store used units in last year’s second quarter. While we experienced our fifth consecutive quarter of improved customer traffic in comparable stores, sales were tempered by the effect of a calendar shift. We had one fewer Saturday this quarter compared with last year’s second quarter, which we estimate adversely affected comparable store used unit sales growth by approximately 1%.
The percentage of retail vehicles financed by third-party subprime providers (those who purchase financings at a discount), combined with those financed under the previously announced CAF loan origination test, declined from 18.5% in the second quarter of fiscal 2014 to 13.8% in this year’s second quarter.

Wholesale vehicle unit sales grew 7.4% versus the second quarter of fiscal 2014. Wholesale unit sales continued to benefit from a stronger wholesale vehicle buy rate and the addition of new stores.
Other sales and revenues increased $7.7 million, or 10.8%, year-over-year. Extended protection plan (EPP) revenues (which includes extended service plan and guaranteed asset protection revenues) declined $2.1 million versus the prior year’s quarter due to higher estimated cancellation reserve rates and a lower EPP penetration rate, partially offset by the growth in our store base. Net third-party finance fees improved $8.5 million versus last year’s second quarter primarily due to the reduction in the percentage of sales financed by third-party subprime providers.
Gross Profit. Total gross profit increased 6.6% to $463.3 million. Used vehicle gross profit rose 6.2%, driven by the increase in total used unit sales, while used vehicle gross profit per unit remained comparable with the prior year period. Wholesale vehicle gross profit increased 10.5% versus the prior year’s quarter, driven by the combination of the 7.4% increase in wholesale unit sales and an improvement in wholesale vehicle gross profit per unit, which rose 2.9% or $25 per unit. Other gross profit rose 2.0% reflecting the improvement in net third-party finance fees, partially offset by the change in EPP revenues and a decrease in service department gross profits. Service department gross profits were adversely affected by our relatively flat comparable store used unit sales growth and the resulting deleverage of service overhead costs.
SG&A. SG&A expenses increased 5.1% to $297.6 million. SG&A was reduced by $20.9 million, which represented our receipt of settlement proceeds in a class action lawsuit related to the economic loss associated with certain Toyota vehicles. Excluding this item, SG&A expenses increased 12.5% year-over-year, primarily due to the 15% increase in our store base since the beginning of last year’s second quarter (representing the addition of 18 stores), as well as a $6.4 million increase in share-based compensation expense. Excluding the legal settlement gain, SG&A per retail unit rose $116 to $2,183.
CarMax Auto Finance.(1) CAF income increased 9.7% to $92.6 million, driven by an increase in average managed receivables, partly offset by a lower total interest margin percentage. Average managed receivables grew 18.5% to $7.72 billion as CAF loan originations have grown in recent years. The total interest margin, which reflects the spread between interest and fees charged to consumers and our funding costs, declined to 6.6% of average managed receivables in the current quarter from 7.0% in last year’s second quarter.
We continued our test to originate loans for customers who typically would be financed by our third-party subprime providers. During the second quarter of fiscal 2015, we originated $14.8 million of loans in this test, representing 0.6% of retail unit sales. As of August 31, 2014, a total of $44.4 million of loans had been originated in this test.
Store Openings. During the second quarter of fiscal 2015, we opened four stores, including three stores in new markets (Madison, Wisconsin; Lynchburg, Virginia; and Portland, Oregon) and one in an existing market (Dallas, Texas).
Share Repurchase Program. During the second quarter, we repurchased 4.0 million shares of common stock for $201.0 million pursuant to our share repurchase program. As of August 31, 2014, we had $907.0 million remaining available for repurchase under the program.
(1)Although CAF benefits from certain indirect overhead expenditures, we have not allocated indirect costs to CAF to avoid making subjective allocation decisions.
