CarMax Reports Second Quarter Fiscal 2024 Results

CarMax, Inc. (NYSE:KMX) today reported results for the second quarter ended August 31, 2023.

Highlights:

  • Net revenues were $7.1 billion, down 13.1% compared with the prior year second quarter.
  • Retail used unit sales decreased 7.4% and comparable store used unit sales declined 9.0% from the prior year’s second quarter; wholesale units declined 11.2% from the prior year’s second quarter.
  • Delivered strong margins in retail and wholesale; gross profit per retail used unit of $2,251, similar to last year’s second quarter, and gross profit per wholesale unit of $963, an increase of $82 per unit despite steep market depreciation.
  • SG&A of $585.7 million decreased 12.1% or $80.3 million from last year’s second quarter, driven primarily by continued cost management efforts.
  • Bought 292,000 vehicles from consumers and dealers, down 14.9% versus last year’s second quarter as volume was impacted by steep market depreciation.
  • CarMax Auto Finance (CAF) income of $135.0 million, down 26.2% from the prior year second quarter due to compression in the net interest margin percentage and a higher provision for loan losses, partially offset by an increase in average managed receivables. CAF’s total interest margin percentage was 6.1%, in line with this year’s first quarter.
  • Net earnings per diluted share of $0.75 versus $0.79 a year ago.
  • Intend to resume share repurchases in the third quarter of this year.

CEO Commentary:

“We continue to drive sequential improvements in our business despite persistent widespread pressures across the used car industry. Through deliberate steps we are taking to control what we can, we delivered strong retail and wholesale gross profit per unit, reduced SG&A, and stabilized CAF’s net interest margin,” said Bill Nash, president and chief executive officer. “We celebrate our 30th anniversary this month, a testimony to the enduring strength of our brand. CarMax revolutionized the used car industry by offering integrity, honesty and transparency in every interaction. Looking ahead, we are once again revolutionizing the industry with a uniquely personalized car-buying experience that will further differentiate us in the used market and positions us to deliver additional growth.”

Second Quarter Business Performance Review:

Sales. Combined retail and wholesale used vehicle unit sales were 342,662, a decrease of 9.0% from the prior year’s second quarter. Online retail sales(1) accounted for 14% of retail unit sales, compared with 11% in the second quarter of last year. Revenue from online transactions(2), including retail and wholesale unit sales, was $2.2 billion, or approximately 31% of net revenues, up from 30% in last year’s second quarter.

Total retail used vehicle unit sales declined 7.4% to 200,825 compared to the prior year’s second quarter. Comparable store used unit sales declined 9.0% from the prior year’s second quarter, a sequential improvement from the year-over-year declines in the second half of last year and this year’s first quarter. We believe vehicle affordability challenges continued to impact our second quarter unit sales performance, as headwinds remained due to widespread inflationary pressures, higher interest rates, tightened lending standards and prolonged low consumer confidence. Total retail used vehicle revenues decreased 11.0% compared with the prior year’s second quarter, driven by the decrease in retail used units sold as well as a decrease in average retail selling price, which declined approximately $1,200 per unit, or 4.0%.

Total wholesale vehicle unit sales decreased 11.2% to 141,837 versus the prior year’s second quarter, a sequential improvement from the year-over-year declines in the second half of last year and this year’s first quarter. Total wholesale revenues decreased 21.8% compared with the prior year’s second quarter due to a decrease in the average wholesale selling price of approximately $1,300 per unit or 12.3% and the decrease in wholesale units sold.

We bought 292,000 vehicles from consumers and dealers, down 14.9% versus last year’s second quarter as volume was impacted by steep market depreciation. Of these vehicles, 273,000 were bought from consumers and 19,000 were bought through dealers, a decrease of 15.5% and 5.3%, respectively, from last year’s results.

Other sales and revenues declined by 5.7% compared with the second quarter of fiscal 2023, representing a decrease of $9.7 million. The decrease was primarily driven by an $8.1 million decline in extended protection plan (EPP) revenues reflecting the effect of the decline in retail unit sales.

Gross Profit. Total gross profit was $696.8 million, down 5.5% versus last year’s second quarter. Retail used vehicle gross profit declined 8.7%, primarily reflecting the decline in retail unit sales. Retail gross profit per used unit was $2,251, in line with last year’s second quarter.

Wholesale vehicle gross profit decreased 2.9% versus the prior year’s quarter, reflecting lower wholesale unit volume. Gross profit per unit was $963, an increase of $82 per unit versus last year’s second quarter, despite steep market depreciation.

Other gross profit increased 6.4% largely reflecting a $19.6 million year-over-year improvement in service gross profit driven by the efficiency and cost coverage measures that we have put in place. Partially offsetting the service improvement was a decline in EPP profit, as discussed above.

SG&A. Compared with the second quarter of fiscal 2023, SG&A expenses decreased 12.1% to $585.7 million. This reduction reflects the continuation of our cost and efficiency efforts that we implemented a year ago. This quarter delivered strong decreases in costs related to staffing, non-CAF uncollectible receivables, advertising, and our level of spend for our technology platforms and strategic initiatives. The change in SG&A was also impacted to a lesser degree by favorable timing in our advertising and technology spend that will impact the back half of this year. Partially offsetting these items was an increase in stock-based compensation expense. SG&A as a percent of gross profit decreased to 84.1% in the second quarter compared to 90.4% in the prior year’s second quarter.

CarMax Auto Finance.(3) CAF income decreased 26.2% to $135.0 million, driven by the decline in CAF’s net interest margin percentage and a $14.3 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 $89.8 million compared to $75.5 million in the prior year’s second quarter.

As of August 31, 2023, the allowance for loan losses was 3.08% of ending managed receivables, down from 3.11% as of May 31, 2023. The decrease in the allowance percentage primarily reflected the effect of the previously disclosed tightening of CAF’s underwriting standards, partially offset by CAF’s modest additional investment in the Tier 2 business and unfavorable performance within the existing portfolio.

CAF’s total interest margin percentage, which represents the spread between interest and fees charged to consumers and our funding costs, was 6.1% of average managed receivables, consistent with this year’s first quarter but down from 7.3% in the prior year’s second quarter, as increases in our customer rates were more than offset by the rising cost of funds. After the effect of 3-day payoffs, CAF financed 42.8% of units sold in the current quarter, up from 41.2% in the prior year’s second quarter. CAF’s weighted average contract rate was 11.1% in the quarter, up from 9.4% in the second quarter last year.

Share Repurchase Activity. During the second quarter of fiscal 2024, we did not repurchase any shares of common stock pursuant to our share repurchase program. As of August 31, 2023, we had $2.45 billion remaining available for repurchase under the outstanding authorization. While we paused the repurchase of our common stock during the third quarter of fiscal 2023, we intend to resume share repurchases in the third quarter of this year.

(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.
