CarMax Reports Fourth Quarter and Fiscal Year Results

Apr 06, 2017

RICHMOND, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- CarMax, Inc. (NYSE:KMX) today reported results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended February 28, 2017. Year-over-year highlights include:

Net sales and operating revenues increased 9.3% to $4.05 billion in the fourth quarter. For the fiscal year, net sales and operating revenues increased 4.8% to $15.88 billion.
Used unit sales in comparable stores increased 8.7% in the fourth quarter and 4.3% in the fiscal year.
Total used unit sales rose 13.4% in the fourth quarter and 8.3% in the fiscal year.
Total wholesale unit sales declined 1.2% in the fourth quarter and 0.7% in the fiscal year.
CarMax Auto Finance (CAF) income declined 10.2% to $82.9 million in the fourth quarter. For the fiscal year, CAF income declined 5.9% to $369.0 million.
In the fourth quarter, net earnings increased 8.2% to $152.6 million and net earnings per diluted share rose 14.1% to $0.81. Year-over-year comparisons were affected by a previously disclosed impairment-related charge of $5.2 million, net of tax, or $0.03 per diluted share, which reduced the prior year’s fourth quarter results.
For the fiscal year, net earnings increased 0.6% to $627.0 million and net earnings per diluted share rose 7.6% to $3.26.

Fourth Quarter Business Performance Review

Sales. Total used vehicle unit sales grew 13.4% and comparable store used unit sales rose 8.7% versus the prior year’s fourth quarter. The comparable store sales performance resulted from a strong increase in conversion, together with a modest increase in store traffic. For the non-Tier 3 customer base, comparable store used unit sales rose 15.3%. We continued to experience a headwind related to our third-party Tier 3 sales mix, which declined to 9.4% of used unit sales from 14.5% in the prior year’s fourth quarter. Tier 3 sales represent those financed by our third-party finance providers to whom we pay a fee. Credit tightening by our third-party Tier 3 finance providers earlier this year, a continued reduction in credit application volume from customers at the lower end of the credit spectrum and a delay in payments of federal income tax refunds in February, all contributed to the decline in Tier 3 mix.

Wholesale vehicle unit sales declined 1.2% versus the fourth 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. In particular, age 7-to 9-year old wholesale vehicles continued to be in shorter supply.

Other sales and revenues increased 19.2% compared with the fourth quarter of fiscal 2016, primarily reflecting improvements in extended protection plan (EPP) revenues and net third-party finance fees. EPP revenues increased 19.3%, largely due to the growth in our used unit sales and favorable adjustments to the reserve for cancellations. Net third-party finance fees improved by 44.4% as a result of the reduced proportion of our sales attributable to Tier 3 finance providers.

Gross Profit. Total gross profit increased 14.9% versus last year’s fourth quarter, to $562.2 million. Used vehicle gross profit rose 14.7%, driven by the 13.4% increase in total used unit sales. Used vehicle gross profit per unit was largely consistent at $2,134 versus $2,109 in the prior year period. Wholesale vehicle gross profit declined 7.8% versus the prior year’s quarter, reflecting the 1.2% decline in wholesale unit sales and a decrease in wholesale vehicle gross profit per unit to $938 from $1,005. Other gross profit increased 46.1%, primarily reflecting the improvement in EPP revenues and net third-party finance fees, as well as some favorable payroll-related cost experience in our service operations.

SG&A. Compared with the fourth quarter of fiscal 2016, SG&A expenses increased 15.4% to $385.4 million. Several factors contributed to the increase, including: (i) the 13% increase in our store base since the beginning of last year’s fourth quarter (representing the addition of 20 stores), (ii) an $11.6 million increase in share-based compensation expense, (iii) higher variable costs associated with our comparable store unit growth, (iv) spending related to strategic initiatives and (v) higher advertising costs. Advertising expense rose 15.7% versus the prior year’s quarter, as spending in the prior year had been shifted to earlier quarters in connection with the launch of a new advertising campaign. SG&A per used unit was $2,190 in the current quarter, up $39 year-over-year. The increase in share-based compensation expense increased SG&A per unit by $61.

CarMax Auto Finance.⁽¹⁾ Compared with last year’s fourth quarter, CAF income declined 10.2% to $82.9 million. The decline was primarily due to a $15.4 million increase in the provision for loan losses, which resulted from both higher loss experience in recent quarters and the growth in managed receivables, as well as an update in our assumptions for determining the loan loss allowance. Average managed receivables grew 11.5% to $10.54 billion. The total interest margin, which reflects the spread between interest and fees charged to consumers and our funding costs, declined to 5.7% of average managed receivables from 5.9% in last year’s fourth quarter. The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of ending managed receivables was 1.16% as of February 28, 2017, compared with 0.99% as of February 29, 2016, and 1.10% as of November 30, 2016.

Interest Expense. Interest expense rose to $16.4 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2017 from $11.8 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 fourth quarter of fiscal 2017, we opened four stores, including two stores in new markets (Mobile, Alabama, and Albany, New York) and two stores in Los Angeles, California. In total, we opened 15 stores during fiscal 2017, bringing our used car store count to 173 as of February 28, 2017.

Share Repurchase Activity. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2017, we repurchased 1.5 million shares of common stock for $101.1 million pursuant to our share repurchase program. For the fiscal year, we repurchased 10.3 million shares at a cost of $557.7 million. As of February 28, 2017, we had $1.59 billion remaining available for repurchase under the program.

Fiscal 2018 Capital Spending Plan

We currently plan to open 15 stores in fiscal 2018 and between 13 and 16 stores in fiscal 2019. Of the 15 stores we plan to open in fiscal 2018, 6 are in metropolitan statistical areas having populations of 600,000 or less, which we now define as small markets. We estimate capital expenditures will total approximately $325 million in fiscal 2018. Compared with fiscal 2017, the decrease in planned capital spending primarily reflects reduced spending on construction and land acquisitions resulting from changes in the mix of markets in which stores are being built.

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