Carmax Reports Third Quarter Fiscal 2023 Results
By Automotive Editor
RICHMOND, Va.,–(BUSINESS WIRE)–CarMax, Inc. (NYSE:KMX) today reported results for the third quarter ended November 30, 2022.
Highlights:
- Net revenues of $6.5 billion, down 23.7% compared with the prior year third quarter.
- Total retail used units sold decreased 20.8%, while used unit sales in comparable stores were down 22.4%; strength in margin management delivered solid gross profit per retail used unit of $2,237, in line with the prior year third quarter.
- Total wholesale units sold decreased 36.7%; despite a decrease of $165 per unit from the record prior year third quarter, wholesale gross profit per unit remained strong at $966. Both volume and margins were impacted by steep market depreciation as well as retail selectivity.
- Bought 238,000 vehicles from consumers and dealers, down 39.8% versus last year’s record third quarter, due to steep market depreciation and our response to deliberately slow buys.
- CarMax Auto Finance (CAF) income of $152.2 million, down 8.3% from the prior year third quarter due to compression in the net interest margin percentage and a higher provision for loan losses, primarily driven by the expansion of Tier 2 and Tier 3 originations within CAF’s portfolio, partially offset by an increase in average managed receivables.
- Completed the nationwide rollout of our industry-leading, multi-lender pre-qualification finance experience.
- SG&A of $591.7 million increased 2.7% or $15.8 million from last year’s third quarter. In the prior year’s third quarter, we received a $22.6 million settlement from a class action lawsuit. Adjusting for that settlement, SG&A expenses would have declined 1.1% year-over-year.
- Took deliberate actions in response to the current market conditions by reducing SG&A, increasing the mix of older retail vehicles sold, increasing CAF rates, reducing planned capital expenditures, and prudently managing our capital structure, including pausing share buybacks.
- Net earnings per diluted share of $0.24, down from $1.63 a year ago.
CEO Commentary:
“In response to the ongoing pressures across the used car industry, we have taken deliberate steps to support our business for both the near-term and the long-term. We are managing our business prudently, and prioritizing initiatives that reduce costs, unlock operating efficiencies, profitably grow market share and create better experiences for our associates and customers,” said Bill Nash, president and chief executive officer. “As the market leader, we have spent almost thirty years building a diversified business that can profitably navigate the ups and downs of the used car industry. We believe we are well positioned to effectively manage through this cycle.”
Third Quarter Business Performance Review:
Sales. Combined retail and wholesale used vehicle unit sales were 298,807, a decrease of 28% from the prior year’s third quarter. Online retail sales(1) accounted for 12% of retail unit sales, compared with 9% in the third quarter of last year. Revenue from online transactions(2), including retail and wholesale unit sales, was $1.8 billion, or approximately 28% of net revenues, a decline from 30% of net revenues in last year’s third quarter.
Total retail used vehicle unit sales declined 20.8% to 180,050 and comparable store used unit sales declined 22.4% from the prior year’s third quarter. We believe vehicle affordability challenges continued to impact our third quarter unit sales performance, as headwinds remain due to widespread inflationary pressures, climbing interest rates, and low consumer confidence. External title data indicates that we gained market share on a year-to-date basis through October, though we’ve seen some recent loss of share. We are focused on profitable market share gains that can be sustained for the long-term. Total retail used vehicle revenues decreased 19.1% compared with the prior year’s third quarter, driven by the decrease in retail used units sold as the average retail selling price was up $535 per unit or 1.9% compared to the prior year.
Total wholesale vehicle unit sales decreased 36.7% to 118,757 versus the prior year’s third quarter. Wholesale volume was negatively impacted by the rapidly changing market conditions and retail selectivity, our decision to shift some units from wholesale to retail to meet consumer demand for lower priced vehicles. Total wholesale revenues decreased 40.1% compared with the prior year’s third quarter due to the decrease in wholesale units sold and a decrease in the average wholesale selling price by almost $600 per unit, or 6.0%.
We bought 238,000 vehicles from consumers and dealers, down 39.8% versus last year’s record third quarter due to steep market depreciation and our response to deliberately slow buys. 224,000 of these vehicles were bought from consumers, down 41.6% over last year’s record results. The remaining 14,000 of these vehicles were bought through MaxOffer, our digital appraisal product for dealers, up 15.8% over last year’s third quarter.
Other sales and revenues declined by 12.2% compared with the third quarter of fiscal 2022, representing a decrease of $20.7 million. The decrease was primarily driven by a $14.8 million decline in extended protection plan (EPP) revenues reflecting the combined effects of the decline in retail unit sales, stronger margins, favorable year-over-year return reserve adjustment and stable penetration.
Gross Profit. Total gross profit was $576.7 million, down 31.1% versus last year’s third quarter. Retail used vehicle gross profit declined 20.8%, reflecting the decline in retail unit sales. Retail gross profit per used unit was $2,237, in line with the prior year.
Wholesale vehicle gross profit decreased 46.0% versus the prior year’s quarter, reflecting lower wholesale unit volume and gross profit per unit, which declined $165 to $966. Gross profit per unit was impacted by steep market depreciation as well as retail selectivity.
Other gross profit declined 49.0% largely reflecting a reduction in service department margins and EPP revenues. Service margins declined primarily due to continued deleverage resulting from the reduction in retail unit sales and by our decision to maintain technician staffing through the current cycle.
SG&A. Compared with the third quarter of fiscal 2022, SG&A expenses increased 2.7% to $591.7 million. In the prior year’s third quarter, we received a $22.6 million settlement from a class action lawsuit. Adjusting for that settlement, SG&A expenses would have declined 1.1% year-over-year. This reduction reflects deliberate steps to further reduce costs by managing staff levels through attrition in our stores and CECs, limiting hiring and contractor utilization in our corporate offices, and aligning marketing spend to sales. Compensation and benefits also included a decrease in share-based compensation, which largely reflected changes in the company’s share price. Total SG&A expenses included increases in investments to advance our technology platforms and strategic initiatives as well as growth related costs. SG&A as a percent of gross profit was 102.6%, versus 68.8% in the prior year’s third quarter, which was primarily driven by the 31.1% decrease in gross margin dollars, and does not reflect the run-rate of the actions we took to reduce costs during the quarter.
CarMax Auto Finance.(3) CAF income decreased 8.3% to $152.2 million, driven by the decline in CAF’s net interest margin percentage and a $9.5 million year-over-year increase in the provision for loan losses, which outweighed the growth in CAF’s average managed receivables. This quarter’s provision was $85.7 million compared to $76.2 million last year.
As of November 30, 2022, the allowance for loan losses was 2.95% of ending managed receivables, up from 2.92% as of August 30, 2022. The increase in the allowance percentage primarily reflected the effect of the previously disclosed expansion of Tier 2 and Tier 3 originations within CAF’s portfolio.
CAF’s total interest margin percentage, which represents the spread between interest and fees charged to consumers and our funding costs, was 6.7% of average managed receivables, down from 7.2% in the prior year’s third quarter as increases in our customer rates were offset by the rising cost of funds. After the effect of 3-day payoffs, CAF financed 44.4% of units sold in the current quarter up from 41.2% in the second quarter and from 42.2% in the prior year’s third quarter. CAF’s weighted average contract rate increased to 9.8% in the quarter up from 8.3% in the third quarter last year.
Share Repurchase Activity. Given third quarter performance and continued market uncertainties, we are taking a conservative approach to our capital structure. Accordingly, we have paused our share repurchases. During the third quarter of fiscal 2023, we repurchased 30,000 shares of common stock for $2.6 million pursuant to our share repurchase program before pausing additional purchases. As of November 30, 2022, we had $2.45 billion remaining available for repurchase under the outstanding authorization. We remain committed to returning capital back to shareholders over time and may resume share repurchases in the future at any time depending upon market conditions and our capital needs, among other factors.
Store Openings. During the third quarter of fiscal 2023, we opened one new retail location in Oceanside, California. In fiscal 2023, we plan to open a total of ten new locations across the country. For fiscal 2024, we are planning new store growth of five locations; however, we can expand our plans if market conditions change.
Fiscal 2023 Capital Spending Outlook. We expect capital expenditures will end the fiscal year at approximately $450 million versus our previous estimate of $500 million.
| (1) |
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. |
