ROGERS, Ark., Sept. 04, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- America's Car-Mart, Inc. (NASDAQ:CRMT) ("we," "Car-Mart" or the "Company"), today reported financial results for the first quarter ended July 31, 2024.

First Quarter Key Highlights (FY'25 vs. FY'24 Q1, unless otherwise noted)

  • Revenue was $347.8 million, down 5.2%
  • Interest income increased $4.1 million, up 7.2%
  • Total collections increased 4.3% to $172.9 million
  • Favorable adjustment to allowance for credit loss to 25.0%, down from 25.32%
  • Net charge-offs as a % of average finance receivables were 6.4% vs. 5.8%
  • Interest expense increased $4.0 million, or 28.3%
  • Loss per share of $0.15 vs. diluted earnings per share of $0.63

President and CEO Doug Campbell commentary:

"I'm encouraged with our rebound in sales volume from two quarters ago, despite the ongoing economic challenges facing the customer today. During the quarter, our new loan origination system ("LOS") contributed to higher down payments and improved deal structures. I'd like to recognize our operations team for improvements on several credit metrics. Affordability remains Car-Mart's number one focus in putting and keeping customers on the road. We believe that our strategic priorities, including acquisitions like Texas Auto Center completed in June, will strengthen our competitive position and along with cost control initiatives, can drive better results for the remainder of the fiscal year."

First Quarter Business Review
 

TOTAL REVENUE – A 5.2% drop in revenue was primarily driven by the decrease in retail units sold. A portion of the decline in revenue was offset by increases in interest income and average retail sales price. We had a sequential reduction in the average retail sales price, excluding ancillary products, of approximately $100. Our initiatives in place should allow us to see this favorability continue throughout the balance of the calendar year.

SALES – Sales for the quarter were 14,391 units vs. 15,912 units, down 9.6%. This is the second quarter of sequential improvement in unit sales on a year-on-year basis.

GROSS PROFIT – Gross profit margin as a percentage of sales was 35%, or $6,996 per unit, an improvement of 30 basis points, or $228 per unit. This 3.4% increase resulted from continued execution and focus on gross margin.

NET CHARGE-OFFS – Net charge-offs as a percentage of average finance receivables were 6.4% compared to 5.8%. On a relative basis, we experienced continued increases in both the frequency and severity of losses, primarily from FY 22 and FY 23 originations. This is evident when looking at our cash-on-cash returns table contained here. As a reference, the quarterly performance of net charge-offs for the five-year period preceding the pandemic period ranged from 5.9% - 8.7%, signaling a return to more normal pre-pandemic levels.

ALLOWANCE FOR CREDIT LOSSES – The allowance for credit loss as a percentage of finance receivables, net of deferred revenue and pending accident protection plan claims, decreased from 25.32% at April 30, 2024, to 25.0% at July 31, 2024 providing a 32 basis points benefit to the provision for credit losses. The primary driver of this favorability are originations from our new LOS and their favorable performance when compared to originations from the legacy underwriting system. As of July 31, 2024, approximately 40% of the outstanding portfolio balance originated from LOS. Delinquencies (accounts over 30 days past due) improved by 90 basis points to 3.5% of finance receivables as of July 31, 2024, but increased sequentially by 40 basis points from 3.1% of finance receivables as of April 30, 2024. This put us ending the quarter with recency, the average percentage of receivables current, at 82.3%. This is higher than any quarter within the last two fiscal years.

UNDERWRITING – Average down payments improved to 5.2%, 20 basis points over the prior year first quarter. The average originating term was 44.3 months, down from the prior year's 44.7 months, despite a 2.4% higher average sales price. These improved deal structures are expected to strengthen the performance of the portfolio going forward. The projected cash-on-cash returns for the quarter improved to 72.4%, a 290-basis points improvement over originations in the prior quarter. Please see the table and supplemental material for Cash-on-Cash returns.

SG&A EXPENSE – SG&A expense was $46.7 million compared to $46.5 million. Although we had favorable declines in payroll and payroll-related costs from prior expense management actions, expenses supporting recently implemented technology offset this favorability. When looking at SG&A per customer, it was $453 compared to $444 the prior year. This 2% increase is also driven by our most recent acquisitions who are currently building a book of customers. We expect this dynamic to improve in subsequent quarters and ultimately provide SG&A leverage.

LEVERAGE & LIQUIDITY – Debt to finance receivables and debt, net of cash, to finance receivables (non-GAAP)1 were 53.4% and 46.7%, compared to 49.3% and 42.9%, respectively, at the end of the prior year's first quarter (sequentially 52.6% and 46.0%, respectively). During the first quarter, we grew finance receivables by $29.9 million, increased inventory by $7.1 million, invested $13.6 million in dealership acquisitions, and purchased fixed assets of $986,000, with a $23.7 million increase in debt, net of cash.

ANNUAL CASH-ON-CASH RETURNS – We continue to generate solid cash-on-cash returns. During the quarter, the frequency of losses on originations in fiscal years 2021 through 2023 were higher than prior projections; however, these contracts represent a smaller balance of our total portfolio. In contrast, the originations generated during fiscal year 2024 improved cash-on-cash returns by 140 basis points, mainly due to lower than projected loss rates. Fiscal year 2025 is off to a solid start with projected returns of 72.4% due to the improved underwriting.

The following table sets forth the actual and projected cash-on-cash returns as of July 31, 2024, for the Company's finance receivables by origination year. The return percentages provided for contracts originated in fiscal years 2017 through 2020 reflect the Company's actual cash-on-cash returns.

1 Calculation of this non-GAAP financial measure and a reconciliation to the most directly comparable GAAP measure are included in the tables accompanying this release

2"Cash-on-cash returns" represent the return on cash invested by the Company in the vehicle finance loans the Company originates and is calculated with respect to a pool of loans (or finance receivables) by dividing total "cash in" less "cash out" by total "cash out" with respect to such pool. "Cash in" represents the total cash the Company expects to collect on the pool of finance receivables, including credit losses. This includes down-payments, principal and interest collected (including special and seasonal payments) and the fair market value of repossessed vehicles, if applicable. "Cash out" includes purchase price paid by the Company to acquire the vehicle (including reconditioning and transportation costs), and all other post-sale expenses as well as expenses related to our ancillary products. The calculation assumes estimates on expected credit losses net of fair market value of repossessed vehicles and the related timing of such losses as well as post sales repair expenses and special payments. The Company evaluates and updates expected credit losses quarterly. The credit quality of each pool is monitored and compared to prior and initial forecasts and is reflected in our on-going internal cash-on-cash projections.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
 

This news release contains financial information determined by methods other than in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). We present total debt, net of total cash, to finance receivables, a non-GAAP measure, as a supplemental measure of our performance. We believe total debt, net of total cash, to finance receivables is a useful measure to monitor leverage and evaluate balance sheet risk. This measure should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for reported GAAP results because it may include or exclude certain items as compared to similar GAAP-based measures, and such measures may not be comparable to similarly-titled measures reported by other companies. We strongly encourage investors to review our consolidated financial statements included in publicly filed reports in their entirety and not rely solely on any one, single financial measure or communication. The most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, as well as a reconciliation to the comparable GAAP financial measure, for non-GAAP financial measures are presented in the tables of this release.
