    Announces the expansion of its asset-backed securitization program to enable incremental growth in finance income

    CarMax, Inc. (NYSE:KMX) today reported results for the first quarter ended May 31, 2024.

    First Quarter Highlights:

    • Retail used unit sales decreased 3.1% and comparable store used unit sales decreased 3.8% from the prior year's first quarter; wholesale units declined 8.3% from the prior year's first quarter, impacted by lower year-over-year seasonal appreciation.
    • Delivered strong margins in retail, wholesale, and Extended Protection Plans (EPP). Gross profit per retail used unit of $2,347, in line with last year; gross profit per wholesale unit of $1,064 and EPP of $563 per retail unit, both first quarter records.
    • Bought 314,000 vehicles from consumers and dealers, down 8.6% versus last year's first quarter, impacted by lower year-over-year seasonal appreciation.
      • 279,000 vehicles were purchased from consumers, down 13.7% from last year's first quarter.
      • 35,000 vehicles were purchased through dealers, up 70.8% from last year's first quarter.
    • SG&A of $638.6 million increased 14.1% from last year's first quarter. Continued cost management efforts drove a decrease in SG&A when excluding the impact of the prior year's $59.3 million legal settlement and previously communicated year-over-year dynamics of approximately $22 million.
    • CarMax Auto Finance (CAF) income of $147.0 million, grew 7.0% from the prior year first quarter due to growth in CAF's average managed receivables and net interest margin percentage.
      • In June 2024, CAF launched its inaugural non-prime public asset-backed securitization deal.
    • Net earnings per diluted share of $0.97 versus $1.44 a year ago; last year's first quarter included a $0.28 benefit in connection with a legal settlement.
    • Accelerated the pace of share repurchases with over $100 million in shares of common stock repurchased during the first quarter of fiscal year 2025.

    CEO Commentary:

    "I am encouraged by the trends we saw in the first quarter including continued year-over-year price declines, improvements in vehicle value stability, and ongoing growth in upper funnel demand. We delivered strong retail, wholesale, and EPP gross profit per unit, sourced a record 35,000 vehicles from dealers, continued to actively manage SG&A, and repurchased over $100 million in shares of common stock. As CAF advances to a full-spectrum credit model, we launched our first non-prime asset-backed securitization deal early in the second quarter as part of the expansion of our securitization program that will enable incremental growth in finance income," said Bill Nash, president and chief executive officer. "I am proud of the durable actions we have taken to support our future growth and to further differentiate the value and experience we offer to consumers."

    First Quarter Business Performance Review:

    Sales. Combined retail and wholesale used vehicle unit sales were 358,817, a decline of 5.3% from the prior year's first quarter.

    Total retail used vehicle unit sales decreased 3.1% to 211,132 compared to the prior year's first quarter. Comparable store used unit sales decreased 3.8% from the prior year's first quarter. Though average retail selling price declined year-over-year, we believe vehicle affordability challenges continued to impact our first quarter unit sales performance, with ongoing headwinds due to widespread inflationary pressures, higher interest rates, and tightened lending standards. Total retail used vehicle revenues decreased 5.4% compared with the prior year's first quarter, driven by the decrease in retail used units sold, as well as the decrease in average retail selling price, which declined approximately $700 per unit or 2.7%.

    Total wholesale vehicle unit sales declined 8.3% to 147,685 versus the prior year's first quarter. Total wholesale revenues decreased 17.0% compared with the prior year's first quarter due to a decrease in the average wholesale selling price of approximately $900 per unit or 10.3%, as well as the decrease in wholesale units sold.

    We bought 314,000 vehicles from consumers and dealers, down 8.6% compared to last year's first quarter, which was impacted by lower seasonal appreciation year-over-year. Of these vehicles, 279,000 were bought from consumers and 35,000 were bought through dealers, a decrease of 13.7% and an increase of 70.8%, respectively, from last year's first quarter.

    Other sales and revenues increased by 4.8% compared with the first quarter of fiscal 2024, representing an increase of $8.3 million, primarily reflecting an increase in EPP revenues resulting from stronger margins.

    Online retail sales(1) accounted for 14% of retail unit sales, in line with the first quarter of last year. Revenue from online transactions(2), including retail and wholesale unit sales, was $2.1 billion, or approximately 30% of net revenues, consistent with last year's first quarter.

    Gross Profit. Total gross profit was $791.9 million, down 3.1% versus last year's first quarter. Retail used vehicle gross profit decreased 3.7% and retail gross profit per used unit was $2,347, in line with last year's first quarter.

    Wholesale vehicle gross profit decreased 6.4% versus the prior year's first quarter, reflecting lower wholesale unit volume. Gross profit per unit increased $22 from the prior year's first quarter to $1,064.

    Other gross profit increased 3.2% primarily reflecting an increase in EPP revenues resulting from stronger margins.

    SG&A. Compared with the first quarter of fiscal 2024, SG&A expenses increased 14.1% or $78.7 million to $638.6 million. Excluding the prior year's $59.3 million legal settlement, SG&A expenses increased 3.1% or $19.5 million. SG&A as a percent of gross profit increased to 80.6% in the first quarter compared to 68.5% in the prior year's first quarter. Excluding the legal settlement, SG&A as a percent of gross profit was 75.7% in the prior year's first quarter.

    Continued cost management efforts in our stores and CECs as well as in non-CAF uncollectable receivables drove an SG&A decrease year-over-year when excluding the prior year's legal settlement and the approximately $22 million combined impact from the retirement eligibility of certain senior executives on this year's share-based compensation expense and lapping over the favorable non-CAF uncollectable receivables reserve adjustments in the prior year.

    CarMax Auto Finance.(3) CAF income increased 7.0% to $147.0 million driven by growth in CAF's average managed receivables and net interest margin percentage. This quarter's provision was $81.2 million compared to $80.9 million in the prior year's first quarter.

    As of May 31, 2024, the allowance for loan losses was 2.79% of ending managed receivables, consistent with 2.78% as of February 29, 2024, as expanded Tier 2 originations within CAF's portfolio offset the effect of the previously disclosed tightening of CAF's underwriting standards.

    CAF's total interest margin percentage, which represents the spread between interest and fees charged to consumers and our funding costs, was 6.2% of average managed receivables, up from last year's fourth quarter and the prior year's first quarter. After the effect of 3-day payoffs, CAF financed 43.3% of units sold in the current quarter, up from 42.7% in the prior year's first quarter. CAF's weighted average contract rate was 11.4% in the quarter, up from 11.1% in the first quarter last year.

    Expansion of Asset-Backed Securitization Program. Going forward, we plan to expand our current asset-backed securitization program from a single issuance to one that more broadly incorporates CAF's receivables across distinct prime and non-prime segments. In June 2024, CAF launched its first non-prime securitization deal.

    This strategy will enable us to efficiently fund incremental originations and support future CAF growth across the credit spectrum by creating additional funding capacity, driving additional finance income for the business over time. Our unique finance platform with a full-spectrum in-house lending operation coupled with a robust network of partner lenders will strengthen our competitive advantage.

    Share Repurchase Activity. During the first quarter of fiscal year 2025, we repurchased 1.4 million shares of common stock for $104.0 million. As of May 31, 2024, we had $2.26 billion remaining available for repurchase under the outstanding authorization.

    Location Openings. During the first quarter of fiscal 2025, we opened our second stand-alone reconditioning center in Richland, Mississippi. We are utilizing our stand-alone reconditioning and auction locations to balance capacity and drive efficiencies across the network.

    An online retail unit sale is defined as a sale where the customer completes all four of these major transactional activities remotely: reserving the vehicle; financing the vehicle, if needed; trading-in or opting out of a trade in; and creating a remote sales order.

    (2)

    Revenue from online transactions is defined as revenue from retail sales that qualify for an online retail sale, as well as any EPP and third-party finance contribution, wholesale sales where the winning bid was an online bid, and all revenue earned by Edmunds.

    (3)

    Although CAF benefits from certain indirect overhead expenditures, we have not allocated indirect costs to CAF to avoid making subjective allocation decisions.
