1. Background
----------
CarMax, Inc. ("CarMax" and "the company"), including its wholly owned
subsidiaries, is the largest retailer of used cars and light trucks in the
United States. CarMax was the first used vehicle retailer to offer a large
selection of quality used vehicles at low, "no-haggle" prices using a
customer-friendly sales process in an attractive, modern sales facility.
CarMax also sells new vehicles under various franchise agreements. CarMax
provides its customers with a full range of related services, including the
financing of vehicle purchases through its own finance operation, CarMax
Auto Finance ("CAF"), and third-party lenders; the sale of extended service
plans; and vehicle repair service.
2. Accounting Policies
-------------------
Principles of Consolidation. CarMax's consolidated financial statements
conform to U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The interim
period consolidated financial statements are unaudited; however, in the
opinion of management, all adjustments, which consist only of normal,
recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the interim
consolidated financial statements, have been included. All significant
intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in
consolidation.
The fiscal year end balance sheet data were derived from the audited
consolidated financial statements included in the company's Annual Report
on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2005. The Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements contained in the Annual Report should be
read in conjunction with these consolidated financial statements.
Cash and Cash Equivalents. Cash equivalents of $49.2 million at August 31,
2005, and $18.0 million at February 28, 2005, consisted of highly liquid
debt securities with original maturities of three months or less. Included
in cash equivalents at August 31, 2005, and February 28, 2005, were
restricted cash deposits of $17.7 million and $12.0 million, respectively,
which were associated with certain insurance deductibles.
Stock-Based Compensation. The company accounts for its stock-based
compensation plans under the recognition and measurement principles of
Accounting Principles Board ("APB") Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock
Issued to Employees," and related interpretations. Under this opinion and
related interpretations, compensation expense is recorded on the date of
grant and amortized over the vesting period only if the market value of the
underlying stock on the grant date exceeds the exercise price. No stock
option-based employee compensation cost is reflected in net earnings, as
options granted under those plans had exercise prices equal to the market
value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant. The following
table illustrates the effect on net earnings and net earnings per share as
if the fair-value-based method of accounting had been applied to all
outstanding stock awards in each reported period:

Reclassifications. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to
conform to the current period's presentation.
3. CarMax Auto Finance Income
--------------------------
The company's finance operation, CAF, originates prime-rated financing for
qualified customers at competitive market rates of interest. Throughout
each month, the company sells substantially all of the loans originated by
CAF in securitization transactions as discussed in Note 4. The majority of
the contribution from CAF is generated by the spread between the interest
rate charged to the customer and the related cost of funds. A gain,
recorded at the time of each securitization transaction, results from
recording a receivable approximately equal to the present value of the
expected residual cash flows generated by the securitized receivables. The
cash flows are calculated taking into account expected prepayment and
default rates.

Page 7 of 29
CarMax Auto Finance income does not include any allocation of indirect
costs or income. The company presents this information on a direct basis to
avoid making arbitrary decisions regarding the indirect benefit or costs
that could be attributed to CAF. Examples of indirect costs not included
are retail store expenses, retail financing commissions, and corporate
expenses such as human resources, administrative services, marketing,
information systems, accounting, legal, treasury, and executive payroll.
4. Securitizations
---------------
The company uses a securitization program to fund substantially all of the
automobile loan receivables originated by CAF. The company sells the
automobile loan receivables to a wholly owned, bankruptcy-remote, special
purpose entity that transfers an undivided interest in the receivables to a
group of third-party investors. The special purpose entity and investors
have no recourse to the company's assets. The company's risk is limited to
the retained interest on the company's consolidated balance sheets. The
investors issue commercial paper supported by the transferred receivables,
and the proceeds from the sale of the commercial paper are used to pay for
the securitized receivables. This program is referred to as the warehouse
facility.
The company periodically uses public securitizations to refinance the
receivables previously securitized through the warehouse facility. In a
public securitization, a pool of automobile loan receivables is sold to a
bankruptcy-remote, special purpose entity that in turn transfers the
receivables to a special purpose securitization trust. The securitization
trust issues asset-backed securities, secured or otherwise supported by the
transferred receivables, and the proceeds from the sale of the securities
are used to pay for the securitized receivables. Refinancing receivables in
a public securitization during a quarter may or may not have a significant
impact on the company's results, depending on securitization structures and
market conditions. In the first quarter of fiscal 2006, the company
recognized a gain of $0.01 per share related to the 2005-1 public
securitization. However, this impact may not be representative of the
potential impact of future securitizations.
The transfers of receivables are accounted for as sales in accordance with
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 140, "Accounting
for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of
Liabilities." When the receivables are securitized, the company recognizes
a gain or loss on the sale of the receivables as described in Note 3.

Retained Interest. The company retains an interest in the automobile loan
receivables that it securitizes. The retained interest, presented as a
current asset on the company's consolidated balance sheets, serves as a
credit enhancement for the benefit of the investors in the securitized
receivables. The retained interest includes the present value of the
expected residual cash flows generated by the securitized receivables, or
"interest-only strip receivables," the restricted cash on deposit in
various reserve accounts, and an undivided ownership interest in the
receivables securitized through the warehouse facility and certain public
securitizations, or "required excess receivables," as described below. On a
combined basis, the cash reserves and required excess receivables are
generally 2% to 4% of managed receivables. The special purpose entities and
the investors have no recourse to the company's assets. The company's risk
is limited to the retained interest on the company's consolidated balance
sheets. The fair value of the retained interest may fluctuate depending on
the performance of the securitized receivables.
Page 8 of 29
The fair value of the retained interest was $157.8 million as of August 31,
2005, and $148.0 million as of February 28, 2005. The retained interest had
a weighted average life of 1.4 years as of August 31, 2005, and 1.5 years
as of February 28, 2005. As defined in SFAS No. 140, the weighted average
life in periods (for example, months or years) of prepayable assets is
calculated by multiplying the principal collections expected in each future
period by the number of periods until that future period, summing those
products, and dividing the sum by the initial principal balance. The
following is a detailed explanation of the components of the retained
interest.
Interest-only strip receivables. Interest-only strip receivables represent
-------------------------------
the present value of residual cash flows the company expects to receive
over the life of the securitized receivables. The value of these
receivables is determined by estimating the future cash flows using
management's assumptions of key factors, such as finance charge income,
default rates, prepayment rates, and discount rates appropriate for the
type of asset and risk. The value of interest-only strip receivables may be
affected by external factors, such as changes in the behavior patterns of
customers, changes in the strength of the economy, and developments in the
interest rate markets; therefore, actual performance may differ from these
assumptions. Management evaluates the performance of the receivables
relative to these assumptions on a regular basis. Any financial impact
resulting from a change in performance is recognized in earnings in the
period in which it occurs.
Restricted cash. Restricted cash represents amounts on deposit in various
---------------
reserve accounts established for the benefit of the securitization
investors. In the event that the cash generated by the securitized
receivables in a given period was insufficient to pay the interest,
principal, and other required payments, the balances on deposit in the
reserve accounts would be used to pay those amounts. In general, each of
the company's securitizations requires that an amount equal to a specified
percentage of the initial receivables balance be deposited in a reserve
account on the closing date and that any excess cash generated by the
receivables be used to fund the reserve account to the extent necessary to
maintain the required amount. If the amount on deposit in the reserve
account exceeds the required amount, an amount equal to that excess is
released through the special purpose entity to the company. In the public
securitizations, the amount required to be on deposit in the reserve
account must equal or exceed a specified floor amount. The reserve account
remains funded until the investors are paid in full, at which time the
remaining balance is released through the special purpose entity to the
company. The amount required to be maintained in the public securitization
reserve accounts may increase depending upon the performance of the
securitized receivables. The amount on deposit in restricted cash accounts
was $31.6 million as of August 31, 2005, and $33.5 million as of February
28, 2005.
Required excess receivables. The warehouse facility and certain public
-----------------------------
securitizations require that the total value of the securitized receivables
exceed, by a specified amount, the principal amount owed to the investors.
The required excess receivables balance represents this specified amount.
Any cash flows generated by the required excess receivables are used, if
needed, to make payments to the investors. The unpaid principal balance
related to the required excess receivables was $53.8 million as of August
31, 2005, and $44.3 million as of February 28, 2005.
Key Assumptions Used in Measuring the Retained Interest and Sensitivity
Analysis. The following table shows the key economic assumptions used in
measuring the fair value of the retained interest at August 31, 2005, and a
sensitivity analysis showing the hypothetical effect on the retained
interest if there were unfavorable variations from the assumptions used.
Key economic assumptions at August 31, 2005, were not materially different
from assumptions used to measure the fair value of the retained interest at
the time of securitization. These sensitivities are hypothetical and should
be used with caution. In this table, the effect of a variation in a
particular assumption on the fair value of the retained interest is
calculated without changing any other assumption; in actual circumstances,
changes in one factor may result in changes in another, which might magnify
or counteract the sensitivities.

Impact on Fair Impact on Fair
Assumptions Value of 10% Value of 20%
(In millions) Used Adverse Change Adverse Change
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Prepayment rate........................ 1.43%-1.50% $5.5 $ 10.9
Cumulative default rate................ 1.60%-2.16% $4.7 $ 9.4
Annual discount rate................... 12.0% $2.3 $ 4.6
Prepayment rate. The company uses the Absolute Prepayment Model or "ABS" to
---------------
estimate prepayments. This model assumes a rate of prepayment each month
relative to the original number of receivables in a pool of receivables.
ABS further assumes that all the receivables are the same size and amortize
at the same rate and that each receivable in each month of its life will
either be paid as scheduled or prepaid in full. For example, in a pool of
receivables originally containing 10,000 receivables, a 1% ABS rate means
that 100 receivables prepay each month.
Cumulative default rate. The cumulative default rate, or "static pool" net
------------------------
losses, is calculated by dividing the total projected credit losses of a
pool of receivables by the original pool balance.
Continuing Involvement with Securitized Receivables. The company continues
to manage the automobile loan receivables that it securitizes. The company
receives servicing fees of approximately 1% of the outstanding principal
balance of the securitized receivables. The servicing fees specified in the
securitization agreements adequately compensate the company for servicing
the securitized receivables. Accordingly, no servicing asset or liability
has been recorded. The company is at risk for the retained interest in the
securitized receivables. If the securitized receivables do not perform as
originally projected, the value of the retained interest would be impacted.
Supplemental information about the managed receivables is shown in the
following tables:

Proceeds from new securitizations. Proceeds from new securitizations

includes proceeds from receivables newly securitized through the warehouse
facility during the period. Proceeds from receivables previously
securitized through the warehouse facility that are periodically refinanced
in public securitizations are not considered proceeds from new
securitizations for this table. Proceeds from receivables repurchased from
public securitizations and refinanced through the warehouse facility are
included in proceeds from new securitizations and totaled $51.5 million in
the first quarter of fiscal 2006 and $51.0 million in the first quarter of
fiscal 2005. There were no repurchases in the second quarter of fiscal 2006
or fiscal 2005.
Proceeds from collections. Proceeds from collections reinvested in
---------------------------
revolving period securitizations represent principal amounts collected on
receivables securitized through the warehouse facility that are used to
fund new originations.
Servicing fees. Servicing fees received represent cash fees paid to the
---------------
company to service the securitized receivables.
Other cash flows received from the retained interest. Other cash flows
--------------------------------------------------------
received from the retained interest represent cash received by the company
from securitized receivables other than servicing fees. It includes cash
collected on interest-only strip receivables and amounts released to the
company from restricted cash accounts.
Financial Covenants and Performance Triggers. Certain securitization
agreements include various financial covenants and performance triggers.
For such agreements, the company must meet financial covenants relating to
minimum tangible net worth, maximum total liabilities to tangible net worth
ratio, minimum tangible net worth to managed assets ratio, minimum current
ratio, minimum cash balance or borrowing capacity, and minimum fixed charge
coverage ratio. Certain pools of securitized receivables must meet
performance tests relating to portfolio yield, default rates, and
delinquency rates. If these financial covenants and/or performance tests
are not met, in addition to other consequences, the company may be unable
to continue to securitize receivables through the warehouse facility or it
may be terminated as servicer under the securitizations. At August 31,
2005, the company was in compliance with these financial covenants, and the
securitized receivables were in compliance with these performance triggers.
5. Financial Derivatives
---------------------
The company enters into amortizing fixed-pay interest rate swaps relating
to its automobile loan receivable securitizations. Swaps are used to better
match funding costs to the fixed-rate receivables being securitized by
converting variable-rate financing costs in the warehouse facility to
fixed-rate obligations. During the second quarter of fiscal 2006, the
company entered into seven 40-month amortizing interest rate swaps with
initial notional amounts totaling $426.5 million. The amortized notional
amount of all outstanding swaps related to the automobile loan receivable
Page 11 of 29
securitizations was $836.7 million at August 31, 2005, and $662.1 million
at February 28, 2005. The fair value of swaps included in prepaid expenses
and other current assets was a net asset of $0.3 million at August 31,
2005, and $5.4 million at February 28, 2005.
The market and credit risks associated with interest rate swaps are similar
to those relating to other types of financial instruments. Market risk is
the exposure created by potential fluctuations in interest rates. The
company does not anticipate significant market risk from swaps as they are
used on a monthly basis to match funding costs to the use of the funding.
Credit risk is the exposure to nonperformance of another party to an
agreement. The company mitigates credit risk by dealing with highly rated
bank counterparties.
6. Retirement Plans
----------------
The company has a noncontributory defined benefit pension plan (the
"pension plan") covering the majority of full-time employees. The company
also has an unfunded nonqualified plan (the "restoration plan") that
restores retirement benefits for certain senior executives who are affected
by the Internal Revenue Code limitations on benefits provided under the
pension plan. The liabilities for these plans are included in accrued
expenses and other current liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets.
The company uses a fiscal year end measurement date for both the pension
plan and the restoration plan. The components of net pension expense were
as follows:

The company did not make a contribution to the pension plan during the
first six months of fiscal 2006. There are no minimum required
contributions for fiscal 2006. However, the company expects to contribute
at least $4.5 million to the pension plan in the second half of fiscal
2006.

purchase 3,090,318 shares with exercise prices ranging from $21.49 to
$43.44 per share were outstanding and not included in the calculation.
8. Recent Accounting Pronouncements
--------------------------------
SFAS No. 123R, "Share-Based Payment," replaces SFAS No. 123, "Accounting
for Stock-Based Compensation" and supercedes APB Opinion No. 25,
"Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees." This new standard requires a
public entity to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange
for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of
the award. That cost will be recognized over the period during which an
employee is required to provide services in exchange for the award (usually
the vesting period). In accordance with the revised statement, the company
will be required to recognize the expense attributable to stock options
effective with the company's 2007 fiscal year, beginning March 1, 2006. The
company has not yet determined the impact of adopting SFAS 123R on its
financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
9. Long-Term Debt
--------------
In August 2005, CarMax entered into a four year, revolving credit facility
(the "credit agreement") with Bank of America, N.A. and various other
financial institutions and terminated its $300 million credit facility with
DaimlerChrysler Services North America, LLC and Toyota Motor Credit
Corporation. The credit agreement is secured by vehicle inventory and
contains customary representations and warranties, conditions, and
covenants. Borrowings accrue interest at variable rates based on LIBOR, the
federal funds rate, or the prime rate, depending on the type of borrowing.
The company pays a commitment fee on the unused portion of the available
funds. All outstanding principal amounts will be due and payable in August
2009, and there are no penalties for prepayment.
The credit agreement provides for aggregate borrowings of up to $450
million. The aggregate borrowing limit includes a $25 million limit on new
vehicle swing line loans, a $25 million limit on other swing line loans,
and a $30 million limit on standby letters of credit. Borrowings on the
each of the swing lines are due on demand and must be repaid monthly or
refinanced through other committed borrowings under the credit agreement.
Page 13 of 29
As of August 31, 2005, the amount outstanding under the credit agreement
was $105.2 million. The entire balance of outstanding borrowings was
classified as current portion of long-term debt, based on management's
ability and intent to repay the balance within one year of the balance
sheet date. We expect that a portion of future borrowings will be used for
long-term capital purposes and will remain outstanding more than one year
from the balance sheet date. Such amounts will be classified on the
company's balance sheets as long-term debt.
Obligations under capital leases as of August 31, 2005, consisted of $35.3
million classified as long-term debt, and $0.9 million classified as
current portion of long-term debt.
10. Subsequent Event
----------------
In September 2005, the company completed a $525 million public
securitization of automobile loan receivables.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
------------------------------------
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
------------------------------------------------
The following Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations ("MD&A") is provided as a supplement to, and should be
read in conjunction with, our audited consolidated financial statements, the
accompanying notes, and the MD&A included in the company's Annual Report on Form
10-K for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2005.
In this discussion, "we," "our," "us," "CarMax," "CarMax, Inc.," and "the
company" refer to CarMax, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries, unless the
context requires otherwise. Amounts and percentages in tables may not total due
to rounding.
BUSINESS OVERVIEW
CarMax is the nation's largest retailer of used vehicles. As of August 31, 2005,
we operated 63 used car superstores in 29 markets, including 21 mid-sized
markets and eight large markets. We define mid-sized markets as those with
television viewing audiences between 1 million and 2.5 million people. We also
operated seven new car franchises, all of which were integrated or co-located
with our used car superstores. During the twelve month period ended August 31,
2005, we sold 278,178 used cars, representing 93% of the total 299,138 vehicles
the company sold at retail during that period.
We believe the CarMax consumer offer is unique in the auto retailing
marketplace. Our offer gives consumers a way to shop for cars in the same manner
that they shop for items at other "big box" retailers. Our consumer offer is
structured around four core equities: low, no-haggle prices; a broad selection;
high quality; and customer-friendly service. We generate revenues, income, and
cash flows primarily by retailing used vehicles and associated items including
vehicle financing, extended service plans, and vehicle repair service. A
majority of the used vehicles we sell at retail are purchased directly from
consumers. Vehicles purchased through our appraisal process that do not meet our
retail standards are sold at on-site wholesale auctions. CarMax provides
prime-rated financing to qualified customers through CarMax Auto Finance ("CAF")
and Bank of America. Nonprime financing is provided through several third-party
lenders, and subprime financing is provided through a third-party lender under a
program rolled out to our entire store base in August 2004. We periodically test
additional third-party lenders. CarMax has no recourse liability for loans
provided by third-party lenders. We sell extended service plans on behalf of
unrelated third parties who are the primary obligors. We have no contractual
liability to the customer under these third-party service plans. Extended
service plan revenue represents commissions from the unrelated third parties.
Sales of new vehicles represented a decreasing percentage of our total revenues
over the last several years as we divested new car franchises and added used car
superstores.
We are still at an early stage in the national rollout of our retail concept. We
believe the primary driver for future earnings growth will be vehicle unit sales
growth from comparable store sales increases and from geographic expansion. We
plan to open used car superstores at a rate of approximately 15% to 20% of our
used car superstore base each year. In fiscal 2006, our plan calls for opening
nine used car superstores, representing an approximate 16% increase in our store
base.
Fiscal 2006 Second Quarter Highlights
- -------------------------------------
|X| Net sales and operating revenues increased 23% to $1.63 billion from $1.32
billion in the second quarter of fiscal 2005, while net earnings increased
39% to $41.4 million, or $0.39 per share, from $29.9 million, or $0.28 per
share.
|X| Total used vehicle units increased 21%, which included a 10% increase in
comparable store used unit sales. |X| We added one used car superstore in
the second quarter of fiscal 2006, entering the Salt Lake City market with
a standard-sized superstore that was opened on the last day of the quarter.
Page 15 of 29
|X| Our total gross profit per unit increased to $2,546 from $2,395 in the
second quarter of fiscal 2005. Our gross profit per unit rose on used, new,
and wholesale vehicles.
|X| CAF income increased 15% to $23.8 million from $20.7 million in the second
quarter of fiscal 2005, reflecting the growth in total vehicle sales,
partially offset by lower gain spreads, as expected.
|X| Selling, general, and administrative expenses as a percent of net sales and
operating revenues (the "SG&A ratio") declined modestly to 10.1% from 10.2%
in the second quarter of fiscal 2005. The overhead leverage provided by the
strong sales growth was largely offset by the combination of the rollout of
television advertising in Los Angeles in the current year, lower-than
normal store and corporate bonuses in the prior year, and the growing
proportion of our store base that is comprised of stores not yet at basic
maturity. Stores generally have higher SG&A ratios during their first
several years of operation.
|X| We completed the sale-leaseback of four superstores for total proceeds of
$56.0 million.
|X| For the first six months of fiscal 2006, net cash provided by operating
activities increased to $118.9 million from $67.7 million in fiscal 2005,
reflecting the improved net earnings and an increase in cash generated from
changes in working capital.
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
The company cautions readers that the statements contained in this MD&A
regarding the company's future business plans, operations, opportunities, or
prospects, including without limitation any statements or factors regarding
expected sales, margins, or earnings, are forward-looking statements made
pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation
Reform Act of 1995. Such forward-looking statements are based upon management's
current knowledge and assumptions about future events and involve risks and
uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from
anticipated results. For more details on factors that could affect expectations,
see the company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February
28, 2005, and its quarterly and current reports as filed with or furnished to
the Securities and Exchange Commission.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
For a discussion of our critical accounting policies see "Critical Accounting
Policies" in Management's Discussion and Analysis included in the CarMax, Inc.
2005 Annual Report to Shareholders, which is included as Exhibit 13.1 to the
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2005. These
policies relate to securitization transactions, revenue recognition, income
taxes, and the defined benefit retirement plan.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Reclassifications. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform
to the current period's presentation.
Seasonality. CarMax's operations, in common with other retailers in general, are
subject to seasonal influences. Historically, our superstores experience their
strongest sales in the spring and summer fiscal quarters. The net earnings of
any quarter are seasonally disproportionate to net sales since administrative
and certain operating expenses remain relatively constant during the year.
Therefore, quarterly results should not be relied upon as necessarily indicative
of results for the entire fiscal year.

Used Vehicle Sales. The 25% increase in used vehicle dollar sales in the second
- -------------------
quarter of fiscal 2006 reflects a 21% increase in unit sales and a 3% increase
in average retail selling price. The unit sales growth was driven by a 10%
increase in comparable store used units, together with sales from newer
superstores that are not yet in the comparable store base. The used vehicle unit
sales growth reflects a strong increase in store traffic as well as continuing
excellent execution by our store teams. We believe the increase in store traffic
was helped in part by the domestic new car manufacturers' employee pricing
Page 17 of 29
programs. Under the employee pricing programs, introduced in June and July, the
manufacturers established specific employee prices for each make and model,
which created greater clarity on new car pricing. We believe we benefit from
pricing transparency in the marketplace, and our no-haggle consumer offer makes
price-comparing easy, giving us a unique advantage as consumers cross-shop. The
10% increase in comparable store used units included approximately 1 percentage
point added from sales financed by our subprime finance provider, which was
added to our third-party lender group in August 2004 following a nine-month test
in selected stores.
The 24% increase in used vehicle dollar sales in the first six months of fiscal
2006 reflects a 20% increase in unit sales and a 3% increase in average retail
selling price. The unit sales growth reflects an 8% increase in comparable store
used units, together with the sales from newer superstores that are not yet in
the comparable store base. The increase in comparable store used units was
driven by increased store traffic and continuing excellent execution by our
store teams, which helped overcome some loss of momentum in our sales pace
during April and May 2005. We believe some of the same factors that affected the
marketplace in the spring and summer of 2004 put pressure on the market this
spring, including an atypical rise in wholesale auction prices and higher gas
prices. In response, we did not increase our appraisal offers at the same rate
as the steep increase in major public wholesale auction market prices. We
believe that doing so helped to keep our retail prices more in line with demand,
helping to keep our cars attractive to consumers as they compared their options
in the new and used car marketplace. The increase in comparable store used units
included approximately 2 percentage points added from sales financed by our
subprime finance provider.
New Vehicle Sales. We reported strong growth in comparable new vehicle unit
- ------------------
sales in both the second quarter and the first six months of fiscal 2006, driven
in part by the traffic generated by the employee discount programs. The sales
performance for our new car franchises was generally in line with the overall
performance of the brands we represent.
Wholesale Vehicle Sales. The 25% increase in wholesale vehicles dollar sales in
- -----------------------
the second quarter of fiscal 2006 reflects the combination of a 16% increase in
wholesale units sold and an 8% increase in average wholesale sales prices.
Wholesale unit sales increases reflect a solid increase in appraisal traffic and
the growth of our store base as compared with the prior fiscal year. We believe
the increased appraisal traffic was due in part to the new car employee pricing
programs and in part to an increase in radio advertising over the summer focused
on our "we buy cars" message. Even as prices on SUVs and light trucks fell
dramatically, CarMax continued to make appraisal purchase offers on all vehicles
presented for appraisal by consumers. We believe a portion of the higher
appraisal traffic reflected franchised dealers' loss of negotiating ability on
trade-ins in connection with the more transparent employee discount price on new
cars. Vehicles acquired through the appraisal purchase process that do not meet
our retail standards are sold at our on-site wholesale auctions.
The 23% increase in wholesale vehicle sales for the first half of fiscal 2006
reflects the combination of a 12% increase in wholesale unit sales and a 10%
increase in average selling prices. In the first quarter of fiscal 2006, our
in-house wholesale auction prices rose at a higher-than-normal pace, reflecting
trends in the general wholesale market.
Other Sales and Revenues. Other sales and revenues include extended service plan
- ------------------------
revenues, service department sales, and third-party finance fees. Other sales
and revenues increased during the second quarter and first six months of fiscal
2006, as extended service plan and service department revenues benefited from
the increase in retail sales and the growth in the store base. Third-party
finance fees declined, primarily as a result of the August 2004 rollout of a
subprime provider. As is customary in the industry, subprime finance contracts
are purchased from the company at a discount. We record this discount as an
offset to the third-party finance fee revenues received from our prime and
nonprime finance providers.

Retail Stores. CarMax opened five superstores in the first half of fiscal 2006.
- -------------
In the first quarter, we expanded our presence in the Los Angeles market, adding
both a standard and a satellite superstore and bringing to five the total store
count in this large market. We also entered the Jacksonville market with a
standard superstore, and we added a satellite superstore in the Kansas City
market. At the end of the second quarter, we entered the Salt Lake City market

Used Vehicle Gross Profit. Our second quarter fiscal 2006 used vehicle gross
- --------------------------
profit per unit rose slightly compared with the prior year's quarter. During the
quarter, increasing gasoline costs caused wholesale prices for SUVs and light
trucks to plummet, while prices for more gasoline efficient compact cars
remained above historical norms. We were able to maintain margins in this
environment, despite taking a supplemental markdown in retail SUV valuation at
the end of the quarter. Our ability to quickly adjust appraisal offers to stay
in line with the broader market trade-in offer trends and our rapid inventory
turns, which reduce our exposure to declining prices, contributed to our margin
stability.
For the six months ended August 31, 2005, used vehicle gross profit per unit
declined modestly compared with the prior year, due to an increase in wholesale
auction pricing in the first quarter of fiscal 2006. This increase adversely
affected used vehicle gross profits, particularly for vehicles obtained through
the major public wholesale auctions.
New Vehicle Gross Profit. The increase in new vehicle gross profit per unit for
- ------------------------
the three months and six months ended August 31, 2005, compared with the same
periods in the prior year, was primarily the result of the employee discount
pricing programs offered by the domestic new car manufacturers beginning in June
and July 2005. We were able to increase our new car prices modestly, as they had
generally been below the employee discount pricing.
Wholesale Vehicle Gross Profit. For the second quarter and the first six months
- ------------------------------
of fiscal 2006, wholesale vehicle gross profit per unit increased from the prior
year levels, primarily as a result of the strengthening wholesale vehicle
pricing environment. We typically experience our strongest wholesale profits
during the spring when wholesale prices are rising, and the atypical rate of
increase in the current year added to the profit improvement. Wholesale profits
also benefited from our decision not to increase appraisal offers at the same
rate as the steep increase in major public wholesale auction market prices in
the current year.
Other Gross Profit. Compared with the prior year's second quarter and first six
- ------------------
months, other gross profit per unit increased slightly, primarily as a result of
the growth in our service margin. The service department, which is the only
category within other sales and revenues that has an associated cost of sales,
reported higher profits reflecting the greater overhead expense absorption that
higher vehicle sales and reconditioning volumes provide. The increase in service
margins was offset somewhat by a decline in third-party finance fees. The
discount at which our subprime lender purchases installment contracts is
reflected as an offset to third-party finance fees.
CarMax Auto Finance Income
- --------------------------
CAF provides prime auto financing for our used and new car sales. Because the
purchase of an automobile is traditionally reliant on the consumer's ability to
obtain on-the-spot financing, it is important to our business that such
financing be available to creditworthy customers. While financing can also be
obtained from third-party sources, we believe that total reliance on third
parties can create an unacceptable volatility and business risk. Furthermore, we
believe that our processes and systems, the transparency of our pricing, and our
Page 20 of 29
vehicle quality provide a unique and ideal environment in which to procure
high-quality auto loan receivables, both for CAF and for third-party lenders.
CAF provides us the opportunity to capture additional profits and cash flows
from auto loan receivables while managing our reliance on third-party finance
sources.

CAF's second quarter income rose 15% in fiscal 2006 compared with the prior
year's quarter. CAF income benefited from the growth in total vehicle sales and
a modest increase in CAF's loan penetration. The gains on sales of loans
increased 15%, as the benefit of the 31% increase in loans sold was partially
offset by the decrease in the gain spread to 3.3% from 3.8% in the second
quarter of fiscal 2005.
CAF income for the first six months of fiscal 2006 increased 19% compared with
the same period of the prior year. This increase includes first quarter gains of
$0.02 per share resulting from a favorable valuation adjustment and $0.01 per
share resulting from the favorable terms of the 2005-1 public securitization in
April. In the first quarter of fiscal 2006, we lowered the loss assumptions on
previously securitized receivables, reflecting the favorable market conditions
and the continued favorable performance of CAF's portfolio. Other income and
other direct expenses for the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2006
increased proportionately to managed receivables.
In May 2005, we exercised our option to repurchase the loan balances outstanding
in the 2001-2 securitization when the remaining balance of the related auto
loans receivable fell below 10% of the original pool balance. These loans were
subsequently resold into the warehouse facility. In May 2004, we completed a
similar repurchase and resale related to the 2001-1 securitization. In both
cases, the loan balances carried relatively high interest rates that, combined
with relatively low short-term funding costs, resulted in an earnings benefit
for the first quarter of both fiscal years of approximately $0.01 per share.
The reported gains on sales of loans of 3.8% in the first six months of fiscal
2006 included the effects of the repurchase and resale of the receivables in the
2001-2 public securitization, the valuation adjustment, and the favorable terms
of the 2005-1 public securitization. The reported gains on sales of loans as a
percent of all loans sold of 3.7% in the first half of fiscal 2005 included the
Page 21 of 29
effect of the repurchase and resale of the receivables in the 2001-1 public
securitization. Excluding the impacts of the 2005-1 public securitization, the
repurchase and resale of the 2001-2 and 2001-1 public securitizations, and the
valuation adjustment, the gains on loans originated and sold was 3.3% in the
first six months of fiscal 2006, and 3.8% in the first six months of fiscal
2005.
We are at risk for the performance of the managed securitized receivables to the
extent that we maintain a retained interest in the receivables. Supplemental
information on our portfolio of managed receivables is as follows:

Annualized credit losses as a percentage of

If the managed receivables do not perform in accordance with the assumptions
used in determining the fair value of the retained interest, earnings could be
impacted. Annualized losses as a percentage of average managed receivables for
the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2006 decreased substantially
compared with the same periods in fiscal 2005. We believe the decrease was due
to a combination of factors including improved general economic conditions, the
implementation of a new credit scorecard in the third quarter of fiscal 2003,
and operational efficiencies resulting from system enhancements. The change in
performance is reflected in the revaluation of the retained interest during the
first quarter, as previously discussed.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
- --------------------------------------------
The SG&A ratio declined modestly to 10.1% in the second quarter of fiscal 2006
compared with 10.2% in the second quarter of the prior fiscal year. The expected
leverage of fixed expenses and corporate overhead provided by our strong sales
growth was largely offset by a combination of factors. The rollout of marketwide
television advertising in Los Angeles in fiscal 2006 and the lower-than-normal
store and corporate bonuses in fiscal 2005 both adversely affected the SG&A
comparison. In addition, we continue to see a larger percentage of our store
base that is made up of newer stores not yet at basic maturity, which we define
as four years. Newer stores typically experience higher SG&A ratios. In this
fiscal year's second quarter, 46% of our stores were newer stores; in last
year's second quarter, that percentage was 38%. For the six month period ended
August 31, 2005, the SG&A ratio increased to 10.1% compared with 10.0% for the
same period last year. This increase was due to the factors mentioned above
combined with a slightly lower sales growth in the first quarter of fiscal 2006.
Income Taxes
- ------------
The effective income tax rate declined to 38.1% in the second quarter and 38.2%
in the first six months of fiscal 2006 from 39.0% in the same periods of fiscal
2005, primarily as a result of a legal entity reorganization in December 2004.
The company created a centralized corporate management entity in an effort to
obtain operational, legal, and other benefits that also resulted in state tax
efficiencies.
Page 22 of 29
Operations Outlook
- ------------------
For the third quarter of fiscal 2006, we anticipate comparable store used
vehicle unit growth in the range of 2% to 8% and net earnings per share in the
range of $0.19 to $0.25. We have chosen to provide wider than usual ranges for
the third quarter's expectations because market conditions continue to be
uncertain and because the model year changeover that coincides with the third
quarter typically makes it the most challenging period of the year to forecast.
We have continued to see price declines for SUVs and light trucks in September,
and as these declines cause us to take supplemental markdowns, we anticipate
incremental margin pressure in the third quarter. Now that subprime financing
has been available across our full retail store base for 12 months, we do not
expect subprime financed sales to provide significant incremental used unit
comparable store sales growth in future periods. We expect the CAF gains on
sales of loans will be approximately 3.5%, which is at the low end of our
normalized range of 3.5% to 4.5%, but is slightly higher than the 3.3% gain
spread realized in the second quarter of fiscal 2006.
We believe we experienced a slight sales benefit early in the third quarter from
replacement vehicle purchases resulting from Hurricane Katrina, despite having
no stores in Louisiana or Mississippi. However, because we have no basis that
would allow us to predict if and to what extent our sales might continue to
benefit, our current third quarter expectations do not include any further
anticipated benefit from possible replacement purchases.
Hurricane Rita is expected to have a minimal effect on the company's sales and
earnings. The four CarMax stores in the Houston market were closed for
approximately a week in mid-September due to this hurricane; however, we believe
that, as with most weather-related events, we should recover nearly all of the
resulting lost sales during the next few months. We do not, however, expect our
sales to benefit from Rita as we believe that few Houston customers lost
vehicles as a result of the storm.
We plan to open four additional superstores during the second half of fiscal
2006. Two of these superstores are satellite additions opened in September in
the Miami and Nashville markets. Later in the third quarter, we plan to enter
the Virginia Beach and the Wichita markets with one standard superstore in each.
During the first half of fiscal 2007, we currently plan to open four standard
superstores and one satellite superstore. We plan to enter the Columbus, Ohio,
market with one standard superstore and one satellite superstore, and the
Hartford, Conn.; Oklahoma City, Okla.; and Fresno, Calif.; markets with one
superstore each.
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
For a discussion of recent accounting pronouncements applicable to the company,
see Note 8 to the company's consolidated financial statements.
FINANCIAL CONDITION
Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------
Operating Activities. Net cash from operations increased to $118.9 million in
the first half of fiscal 2006 from $67.7 million in the first half of fiscal
2005. The increase reflects a combination of factors, including a $16.1 million
increase in net earnings, $17.3 million due to slower growth in inventory, and
$17.8 million associated with other changes in working capital in the first half
of fiscal 2006 compared with the same period in the prior year. In the first six
months of fiscal 2006, inventory increased by only $8.7 million, despite having
opened five superstores since the end of the prior fiscal year. Each year we
target having our lowest level of inventory of the year after Labor Day in order
to minimize the inherent inventory risk during the fall model year changeover
period. At August 31, 2005, our inventories were at target levels.
Page 23 of 29
Investing Activities. Net cash used in investing activities was $37.1 million in
- --------------------
the first six months of fiscal 2006, compared with $75.0 million in the first
half of the prior year. Capital expenditures were $115.2 million in the first
half of fiscal 2006, compared with $118.6 million in the first half of fiscal
2005. We plan to open nine superstores in fiscal 2006, equal to the number of
stores opened in fiscal 2005. In addition to store construction costs, capital
spending includes costs associated with our new home office and the cost of land
acquisition for future year store openings.
The company generated net proceeds from the sales of assets of $78.2 million in
the first half of fiscal 2006, compared with $43.7 million in the first half of
fiscal 2005. These proceeds are primarily associated with sale-leaseback
transactions. In the first half of fiscal 2006, we completed the sale-leaseback
of five superstores, while in the first half of fiscal 2005, we completed the
sale-leaseback of three superstores. The sale-leaseback transactions were
structured with initial lease terms of either 15 or 20 years with four,
five-year renewal options. As of August 31, 2005, we owned six superstores
currently in operation, as well as land and construction-in-progress related to
several planned superstores.
Financing Activities. Net cash used in financing activities was $57.1 million in
- --------------------
the first six months of fiscal 2006, compared with net cash provided by
financing activities of $2.2 million in the first six months of last fiscal
year. In the first half of fiscal 2006, we used cash generated from operations
to reduce total debt by $60.4 million.
The aggregate principal amount of automobile loan receivables funded through
securitizations, which are discussed in Notes 3 and 4 to the company's
consolidated financial statements, totaled $2.61 billion at August 31, 2005, and
$2.34 billion at August 31, 2004. During the first half of fiscal 2006, the
company completed a $617 million public securitization of automobile loan
receivables. At August 31, 2005, the unused warehouse capacity totaled $63
million. The warehouse facility matures in July 2006. We anticipate that we will
be able to renew, expand, or enter into new securitization arrangements to meet
the future needs of the automobile finance operation.
In August 2005, we entered into a new, four-year, revolving credit facility
secured by vehicle inventory. Concurrently, we terminated our existing $300
million credit agreement. Borrowings under the new credit facility are available
for working capital and general corporate purposes, and represent senior secured
indebtedness of the company. The credit facility contains customary
representations and warranties, conditions, and covenants. All outstanding
principal amounts borrowed under the credit facility will be due and payable in
August 2009.
The credit agreement provides for aggregate borrowings of up to $450 million.
The aggregate borrowing limit includes a $25 million limit on new vehicle swing
line loans, a $25 million limit on other swing line loans, and a $30 million
limit on standby letters of credit. Borrowings on the each of the swing lines
are due on demand and must be repaid monthly or refinanced through other
committed borrowings under the credit agreement.
As of August 31, 2005, $105.2 million was outstanding under the credit facility,
with the remainder fully available to the company. The entire balance of
outstanding borrowings was classified as current portion of long-term debt,
based on management's ability and intent to repay the balance within one year of
the balance sheet date. As we continue to execute our growth plan, we expect
that a portion of future borrowings will be used for long-term capital purposes
and will remain outstanding more than one year from the balance sheet date. Such
amounts will be classified on the company's balance sheets as long-term debt.
We expect that proceeds from securitization transactions; sale-leaseback
transactions; current and, if needed, additional credit facilities; and cash
generated by operations will be sufficient to fund capital expenditures and
working capital for the foreseeable future.

ITEM 3.
QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE
DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Automobile Installment Loan Receivables. At August 31, 2005, and February 28,
- -----------------------------------------
2005, all loans in the portfolio of automobile loan receivables were fixed-rate
installment loans. Financing for these automobile loan receivables is achieved
through asset securitization programs that, in turn, issue both fixed- and
floating-rate securities. Interest rate exposure relating to floating-rate
securitizations is managed through the use of interest rate swaps. Receivables
held for investment or sale are financed with working capital. Generally,
changes in interest rates associated with underlying swaps will not have a
material impact on earnings. However, changes in interest rates associated with
underlying swaps may have a material impact on cash and cash flows.
Credit risk is the exposure to nonperformance of another party to an agreement.
Credit risk is mitigated by dealing with highly rated bank counterparties. The
market and credit risks associated with financial derivatives are similar to
those relating to other types of financial instruments.
The total principal amount of managed receivables securitized or held for
investment or sale as of August 31, 2005, and February 28, 2005, was as follows:

rates related to our outstanding debt. Substantially all of the debt is
floating-rate debt based on LIBOR. A 100-basis point increase in market interest
rates would not have had a material effect on our results of operations or cash
flows for the three months and six months ended August 31, 2005.

ITEM 4.
CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
The company maintains disclosure controls and procedures ("disclosure controls")
that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our
reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed,
summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the U.S.
Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms. Disclosure controls are
also designed to ensure that such information is accumulated and communicated to
our management, including the chief executive officer ("CEO") and the chief
financial officer ("CFO"), as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding
required disclosure.
As of the end of the period covered by this report, the company evaluated the
effectiveness of the design and operation of its disclosure controls. This
evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of
management, including our CEO and CFO. Based upon that evaluation, the CEO and
CFO concluded that the company's disclosure controls were effective as of the
end of such period. There was no change in the company's internal control over
financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended August 31, 2005, that
has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the
company's internal control over financial reporting.
