RICHMOND, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- CarMax, Inc. (NYSE:KMX) today reported results for the third quarter ended November 30, 2016.

• Net sales and operating revenues increased 4.4% to $3.70 billion.
• Used unit sales in comparable stores increased 5.4%.
• Total used unit sales rose 9.1%.
• Total wholesale unit sales declined 2.2%.
• CarMax Auto Finance (CAF) income declined 3.2% to $89.4 million.
• Net earnings increased 6.6%, to $136.6 million, while net earnings per diluted share rose 14.3% to $0.72.

Third Quarter Business Performance Review

Sales. Total used vehicle unit sales grew 9.1% and comparable store used unit sales rose 5.4% versus the prior year’s third quarter. The comparable store sales performance resulted from increases in both conversion and store traffic. Our sales performance included a reduction in the Tier 3 sales mix to 10.2% of used unit sales from 13.8% in the prior year’s third quarter. Tier 3 sales represent those financed by our Tier 3 third-party finance providers to whom we pay a fee and those in CAF’s Tier 3 loan origination activity. For the non-Tier 3 customer base, comparable store used unit sales rose 9.8%.

Wholesale vehicle unit sales declined 2.2% versus the third quarter of fiscal 2016, as contributions from the growth in our store base and an improved appraisal buy rate were more than offset by a reduction in appraisal traffic.

Other sales and revenues increased 1.0% compared with the third quarter of fiscal 2016. Improvements in extended protection plan (EPP) revenues and third-party finance fees were largely offset by a decrease in new vehicle sales that resulted from the disposal of two of our four new car franchises during the third quarter of fiscal 2016. EPP revenues increased 14.0%, largely reflecting the growth in our used unit sales and pricing changes. Net third-party finance fees improved by 32.9%, primarily due to the reduced proportion of our sales attributable to Tier 3 finance providers.

Gross Profit. Total gross profit increased 8.4% versus last year’s third quarter, to $503.1 million. Used vehicle gross profit rose 8.8%, driven by the 9.1% increase in total used unit sales. Used vehicle gross profit per unit was consistent at $2,155 versus $2,160 in the prior year period. Wholesale vehicle gross profit declined 7.3% versus the prior year’s quarter, reflecting the 2.2% decline in wholesale unit sales and a decrease in wholesale vehicle gross profit per unit to $900 from $949. Other gross profit increased 27.7%, primarily reflecting the improvement in EPP revenues and net third-party finance fees. The decrease in new vehicle sales did not significantly affect other gross profit.

SG&A. Compared with the third quarter of fiscal 2016, SG&A expenses increased 5.7% to $356.7 million. The growth primarily reflected the 12% increase in our store base since the beginning of last year’s third quarter (representing the addition of 18 stores), as well as higher variable costs associated with our comparable store unit growth. Advertising expense declined 6.9% versus the prior year’s quarter, despite the increase in our store base, as the prior year period included costs related to a new advertising campaign. SG&A per used unit was $2,275 in the current quarter, down $74 year-over-year.

CarMax Auto Finance.⁽¹⁾ Compared with last year’s third quarter, CAF income declined 3.2% to $89.4 million. The decline was primarily due to an $11.0 million increase in the provision for loan losses, which resulted from both higher loss experience in recent quarters and the growth in managed receivables. Average managed receivables grew 11.2% to $10.30 billion. The total interest margin, which reflects the spread between interest and fees charged to consumers and our funding costs, declined to 5.8% of average managed receivables from 6.0% in last year’s third quarter. The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of ending managed receivables was 1.10% as of November 30, 2016, compared with 0.97% as of November 30, 2015, and 1.08% as of August 31, 2016.

Interest Expense. Interest expense rose to $15.1 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2017 from $10.0 million in the prior year’s quarter. The increase reflected planned higher average outstanding debt levels in fiscal 2017 as part of our capital structure strategy, as well as growth in our finance and capital lease obligations.

Store Openings. During the third quarter of fiscal 2017, we opened six stores, including two stores in new markets (Boise, Idaho, and Grand Rapids, Michigan) and four stores in existing markets (one store each in Daytona, Florida, and Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and two stores in San Francisco, California).

Share Repurchase Activity. During the third quarter of fiscal 2017, we repurchased 3.8 million shares of common stock for $198.7 million pursuant to our share repurchase program. As of November 30, 2016, we had $1.69 billion remaining available for repurchase under the program.
