CarMax Reports Fourth Quarter and Fiscal Year Results

March 29, 2019

RICHMOND, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- CarMax, Inc. (NYSE:KMX) today reported results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended February 28, 2019. Year-over-year highlights include:

Net sales and operating revenues increased 5.7% to $4.32 billion in the fourth quarter. For the fiscal year, net sales and operating revenues increased 6.1% to $18.17 billion.
Used unit sales in comparable stores increased 2.8% in the fourth quarter and 0.3% for the fiscal year.
Total used unit sales rose 5.6% in the fourth quarter and 3.8% for the fiscal year.
Total wholesale unit sales increased 3.7% in the fourth quarter and 9.5% for the fiscal year.
CarMax Auto Finance (CAF) income increased 2.6% to $103.7 million in the fourth quarter. For the fiscal year, CAF income increased 4.2% to $438.7 million.
In the fourth quarter, net earnings increased 57.6% to $192.6 million and net earnings per diluted share increased 68.7% to $1.13.

In connection with the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (“2017 Tax Act”), net earnings for the prior year’s fourth quarter were reduced by $11.9 million, or $0.07 per diluted share. This net amount included a $32.7 million reduction for the revaluation of our net deferred tax asset, partially offset by a $20.8 million benefit that resulted from applying the new, lower blended annual tax rate to earnings for the entire year.

Net earnings for the prior year’s quarter were also reduced by a one-time discretionary bonus of $8.0 million, or $0.03 per diluted share net of taxes, paid to eligible associates.

For the fiscal year, net earnings increased 26.8% to $842.4 million and net earnings per diluted share increased 33.1% to $4.79. Net earnings for the prior fiscal year were reduced by the fourth quarter items noted above.

Fourth Quarter Business Performance Review

“We’re pleased to report double-digit growth in pretax earnings this quarter, even excluding the prior period’s discretionary bonus,” said Bill Nash, president and chief executive officer. “And, with strong cash flow, we continued returning value to shareholders via our stock repurchase program. We’re also pleased with the response to our omni-channel roll-out in Atlanta, where consumers can now buy a car completely from home, in-store or through a seamlessly integrated combination of online and in-store experiences. We remain on track to have this experience available to the majority of our customers by the end of fiscal 2020.”

Sales . Total used vehicle unit sales increased 5.6%, while comparable store used unit sales rose 2.8% versus the prior year’s fourth quarter. The comparable store sales performance primarily reflected improved conversion, partially offset by lower store traffic. We believe our comparable store used unit sales growth was adversely affected by delays in February tax refunds relative to last year, the continuation of higher acquisition prices and a robust competitive environment.

Total wholesale vehicle unit sales increased 3.7% compared with the fourth quarter of fiscal 2018, largely driven by the growth in our store base.

Other sales and revenues increased 14.6% compared with the fourth quarter of fiscal 2018. Extended protection plan (EPP) net revenues rose 19.9%, reflecting the combined effects of favorable adjustments to cancellation reserves resulting from lower cancellation activity, cost decreases from plan providers, and increases in our unit volume and product penetration rate. Net third-party finance fees improved $3.3 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 11.7% versus last year’s fourth quarter, to $599.4 million. Used vehicle gross profit rose 6.6%, reflecting the 5.6% increase in total used unit sales. Used vehicle gross profit per unit remained relatively stable at $2,166 compared with $2,147 in the prior year period. Wholesale vehicle gross profit increased 7.0% versus the prior year’s quarter, driven by the 3.7% increase in wholesale unit sales and an increase in wholesale vehicle gross profit per unit to $977 compared with $946 in last year’s fourth quarter. Other gross profit increased 41.6%, reflecting the improvements in EPP revenues and net third-party finance fees, as well as higher service profits. The prior year’s fourth quarter service profits were pressured by the reduced leverage of service department costs and the one-time discretionary bonus, approximately half of which was paid to service department associates.

SG&A . Compared with the fourth quarter of fiscal 2018, SG&A expenses increased 4.9% to $429.0 million. Factors contributing to the year-over-year change included the 10% increase in our store base since the beginning of last year’s fourth quarter (representing the addition of 19 stores); continued spending to advance our technology platforms and support our core and omni-channel strategic initiatives; and a $3.9 million increase in stock-based compensation expense. These increases were partially offset by reduced compensation costs resulting from staffing optimization initiatives. In addition, the prior year’s SG&A expense included approximately half of the one-time discretionary bonus. SG&A per used unit was $2,380 in the current quarter, down $17 year-over-year. The increase in stock-based compensation expense increased SG&A per used unit by $19.

CarMax Auto Finance .⁽¹⁾ Compared with last year’s fourth quarter, CAF income increased 2.6% to $103.7 million. The increase reflected the net effects of a 7.8% 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 5.5% of average managed receivables compared with 5.6% in last year’s fourth quarter. The provision for loan losses increased to $42.1 million from $38.6 million in the prior year quarter, consistent with the growth in average managed receivables. The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of ending managed receivables remained stable at 1.10% as of February 28, 2019, compared with 1.11% as of February 28, 2018.

Interest Expense . Interest expense rose to $21.0 million from $19.7 million in the prior year’s fourth quarter, primarily reflecting higher interest rates in fiscal 2019.


⁽¹⁾		Although CAF benefits from certain indirect overhead expenditures, we have not allocated indirect costs to CAF to avoid making subjective allocation decisions.

Income Taxes . The effective tax rate was 24.7% in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2019 versus 41.9% in the prior year’s fourth quarter. The prior year’s fourth quarter effective tax rate included the effect of an $11.9 million net increase in tax expense resulting from enactment of the 2017 Tax Act, including:

A $32.7 million increase in tax expense associated with the revaluation of our net deferred tax asset (a 15.6 percentage point increase in the effective tax rate).
A $20.8 million decrease in tax expense resulting from the new, lower blended federal tax rate being applied to earnings for the entire fiscal year (a 9.9 percentage point reduction in the effective tax rate).

Store Openings . During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2019, we opened five stores, including three stores in new television markets (Buffalo, New York; Montgomery, Alabama; and New Orleans, Louisiana) and two in existing television markets (Orlando, Florida and Portland, Oregon). For the fiscal year, we opened 15 stores, and we had a total of 203 used car stores as of February 28, 2019.

Share Repurchase Activity . During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2019, we repurchased 4.4 million shares of common stock for $270.1 million pursuant to our share repurchase program. During the fiscal year, we repurchased 13.6 million shares of common stock for $902.9 million. As of February 28, 2019, we had $2.11 billion remaining available for repurchase under the outstanding authorizations.

Fiscal 2020 Capital Spending Plan

We currently plan to open 13 stores in fiscal 2020 and a similar number of stores in fiscal 2021. We estimate capital expenditures will increase to approximately $350 million in fiscal 2020 from $304.6 million in fiscal 2019. The increase in planned capital spending in fiscal 2020 reflects several factors, including a shift of some spending originally planned for fiscal 2019 into fiscal 2020 and the addition of three customer experience centers to support our omni-channel roll-out.
