Fourth Quarter Business Performance
Review
Sales. “Once again, the
most significant factor affecting our sales was a sharp decline in
customer traffic compared with the prior year,” said
Tom Folliard
,
president and chief executive officer. We estimate that traffic declined
nearly as much as our 26% decrease in comparable store used unit sales,
while our conversion rate slipped slightly. Our used vehicle average
selling price decreased 7% versus the prior year’s quarter primarily
reflecting our lower vehicle acquisition costs. While the weak economy
was the largest factor in the comparable store sales decline, we believe
that our lean inventory levels and a decrease in the percentage of sales
financed by CAF were also modest contributors to the lower sales. Our
data indicates that while we experienced a small decline in our share of
the late-model used vehicle market for the quarter, we gained market
share for the full year. We believe that our superior consumer offer
will allow us to continue to gain share over the long term.
Given the unprecedented rate of decline in industry wholesale prices for
virtually all vehicle classes that occurred during the third quarter and
into the early portion of the fourth quarter, together with the lack of
future visibility, we felt it was prudent to maintain lower-than-normal
inventory levels. We believe this contributed modestly to the decline in
comparable store sales.
As previously announced, beginning last fall, we chose to temporarily
route more credit applications directly to our third-party finance
providers in order to slow the use of capacity in the CAF warehouse
facility. We also moderately tightened CAF lending standards during the
fourth quarter. Together, these actions reduced the percentage of our
unit sales financed by CAF by several percentage points compared with
the fourth quarter of last year. The CAF origination channel has
historically generated some incremental sales, and we therefore believe
the decrease in the percentage of sales financed by CAF contributed
modestly to our decline in comparable store sales.
Our total wholesale unit sales declined 27% compared with the fourth
quarter of fiscal 2008. The decline reflected both the reduction in our
customer traffic flow and a decrease in our appraisal buy rate. We
believe the buy rate was adversely affected throughout the year by the
lower wholesale values.
Compared with the fourth quarter of last year, other sales and revenues
declined 8%. Extended service plan revenues declined 10%. Service
department sales increased 9%. Third-party finance fees decreased 54%
due to a combination of factors including the reduction in retail
vehicle sales, a shift in mix among providers and a previously reported
change in discount arrangements with certain of the providers.
Gross Profit. Total gross
profit decreased by $26.8 million, or 10%, to $230.3 million primarily
due to the significant decline in used and wholesale unit sales.
However, our gross profit dollars per used unit increased substantially,
by $325 to $2,040 per unit compared with $1,715 per unit in last year’s
fourth quarter. The improvement resulted from a combination of factors.
In part, it reflected the below-average gross profit per unit generated
in the prior year’s fourth quarter. It also reflected a continuation of
the unprecedented rate of depreciation in wholesale industry prices
through the end of the calendar year, followed by a record rate of
appreciation in January and February. This shift allowed us to
temporarily optimize gross profit per unit during a period when we were
already able to provide compelling values to consumers. Despite the
reduction in sales, we were able to modestly increase our used vehicle
inventory turns in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009 compared with the
prior year period.
Wholesale gross profit per unit increased $73 to $882 per unit compared
with $809 per unit in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008. We experienced
a record dealer-to-car ratio at our auctions in this year’s fourth
quarter, with the resulting price competition among bidders contributing
to the strong wholesale profit per unit. We typically experience our
strongest wholesale gross profit per unit in the fourth quarter, as this
generally coincides with peak seasonal demand for older, higher mileage
vehicles.
CarMax Auto Finance. CAF
reported income of $28.0 million compared with a loss of $1.0 million in
the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008. We made no material adjustments
resulting from changes in valuation assumptions during the fourth
quarter of fiscal 2009. In the fourth quarter of the prior fiscal year,
CAF results were reduced by unfavorable adjustments and higher funding
costs totaling $31.4 million, or $0.09 per share, primarily related to
loans originated in previous fiscal periods.
The CAF gain on loans originated and sold declined to $15.8 million
compared with $21.0 million in the prior year’s quarter. CAF’s loan
origination volume was adversely affected by the decreases in our unit
sales and average selling price, as well as the decrease in the
percentage of sales financed by CAF.
SG&A. In the fourth
quarter of fiscal 2009, selling, general and administrative expenses
fell to $196.7 million, or 13.4% of total revenues, from $219.9 million,
or 10.8% of total revenues, in the prior year quarter, despite the 12%
increase in our store base during fiscal 2009. The SG&A reductions
primarily reflected decreases in variable selling expenses, as well as
our efforts to curb store and corporate overhead costs, including
payroll and advertising. Our total number of associates declined to
approximately 13,000 as of the end of fiscal 2009 from a peak of
approximately 16,400 in May 2008. The fiscal 2009 fourth quarter SG&A
expense also reflected reductions in growth-related costs, including
pre-opening and relocation costs, resulting from our suspension of store
growth. The increase in SG&A as a percent of revenues was mainly the
result of the significant declines in comparable store used unit sales
and average selling price.
Credit Facilities. As of
February 28, 2009, we had $308.5 million outstanding under the revolving
credit facility and $140.6 million in cash and cash equivalents. As of
the prior year end, we had $300.2 million outstanding under the revolver
and $13.0 million of cash and cash equivalents. As of February 28, 2009,
based on then-current inventory levels, we had additional borrowing
capacity of $227.7 million under the revolving credit facility, which
expires in December 2011.
As of February 28, 2009, $1.215 billion of auto loan receivables were
outstanding in the warehouse facility and unused warehouse capacity
totaled $185 million.
Superstore Openings. During
the fourth quarter, we expanded our presence in the Washington, D.C.
market with a superstore in Potomac Mills, Virginia. Construction on
this store was already underway in December when we announced our plan
to temporarily suspend store growth. For the fiscal year, we opened 11
superstores, expanding our presence in 5 existing markets and opening
stores in 5 new markets.

Expectations for Fiscal Year Ending
February 28, 2010
Fiscal 2010 Capital Expenditures.
As previously announced, we have temporarily suspended our store growth
as a result of the weak economic and sales environment. At the date we
announced the suspension, we had three stores under construction in
Augusta, Georgia; Cincinnati, Ohio; and Dayton, Ohio. These stores have
been completed, but they will not be opened until market conditions
improve. Until we resume store growth, capital spending will be incurred
primarily for maintenance capital items. Based on the relatively young
average age of our store base, maintenance capital has represented a
very small portion of our total capital spending in recent years. We
currently estimate gross capital expenditures of approximately $20
million in fiscal 2010, down from $185.7 million in fiscal 2009.
Fiscal 2010 Outlook. “As a
result of the unprecedented declines in traffic and sales and the
continuing volatility in the asset-backed securitization markets, we do
not believe we can make a meaningful projection of fiscal 2010 sales or
earnings,” said Folliard. However, assuming that sales trends do not
improve from fourth quarter levels and given all of the uncertainties in
the economy, we would anticipate a double-digit decline in comparable
store used unit sales in fiscal 2010, particularly early in the year.
Recent credit spreads in the public asset-backed securitization market
have been significantly higher than the spreads implicit in our
warehouse facility. As a result, we estimate CAF income will be reduced
by incremental funding costs of between $50 million and $85 million
before taxes, or $0.14 to $0.24 per share, upon the refinancing of the
$1.215 billion that was in the warehouse facility at the end of fiscal
2009.
Absent further substantial deterioration in sales and earnings, and
given the assumptions set forth above, we believe we will remain in
compliance with our financial covenants in fiscal 2010.
