  • Record net revenues of $8.0 billion, up 48.7% compared with the prior year second quarter.
  • Sold 419,895 units through our retail and wholesale channels combined, up 19.9% from the prior year quarter, primarily driven by strong demand for used autos and solid execution supported by our omni-channel experience.
    • Retail used unit sales increased 6.7% to a second quarter record of 231,797 vehicles and comparable store unit sales increased 6.2% compared with the same quarter a year ago.
    • Wholesale units increased 41.4% to 188,098 vehicles from the prior year second quarter, an all-time high quarterly record.

  • Gross profit per retail used unit was $2,185, in-line with historical performance and down slightly from the second quarter last year. Wholesale gross profit per unit was $1,005, an $81 per unit decrease when compared with the second quarter last year.
  • CarMax Auto Finance (CAF) income increased 35.9% to $200.0 million due to higher net interest margin and an increase in average managed receivables.
  • Net earnings per diluted share of $1.72, down from $1.79 per diluted share a year ago primarily due to last year’s COVID-related cost savings.

CEO Commentary:

“Our omni-channel platform, in combination with our unique customer offerings, industry expertise and solid execution, drove performance across our diversified business and led to a record level of used sales for the second quarter and an all-time record for wholesale vehicle sales” said Bill Nash, president and chief executive officer.

“Of particular note is the performance of our online instant appraisal offering, which continues to exceed our expectations. Just six months after the nationwide launch, we have already purchased over 350,000 cars from consumers online with this digital product,” Nash continued. “We continue to make investments in growth and innovation for our customers’ benefit and remain on track to bring our fully self-service online experience to all of our retail consumers by the end of the fiscal year.”

Nash concluded, “We’ve intentionally built our omni-channel platform to give every customer the ability to progress to a sale or buy regardless of how they shop with us, which will enable sustainable growth and create meaningful long-term shareholder value.”

Second Quarter Business Performance Review:

Sales. Combined retail and wholesale used vehicle unit sales were 419,895, an increase of 19.9% from the prior year’s second quarter. Online retail sales(1) accounted for 9% of retail unit sales, compared to 3% in the second quarter last year. Revenue from online transactions(2), including retail and wholesale unit sales, was $2.2 billion, or approximately 28% of net revenues, compared to 18% of net revenues in last year’s second quarter.

Total retail used vehicle unit sales increased 6.7% to 231,797 and comparable store used unit sales increased 6.2% from the prior year’s second quarter. We believe several factors contributed to our comparable store sales growth, including a robust used auto demand environment and solid execution supported by our omni-channel customer experience. Total retail used vehicle revenues increased 39.1% compared with the prior year’s second quarter due to the increase in both average retail selling prices, which rose more than $6,000, or 30.8%, and used units sold. The price increase largely reflected higher vehicle acquisition costs resulting from strong wholesale industry valuations.

Total wholesale vehicle unit sales were 188,098, an increase of 41.4% compared with the prior year’s second quarter. Wholesale sales benefited from the large increase in appraisal volume from online offerings and strong offers aided by higher market prices. Total wholesale revenues increased 107.7% compared with the prior year’s second quarter due to average wholesale selling prices rising almost $3,000, or 47.7%, and the increase in units sold.

Other sales and revenues increased 11.3% compared with the second quarter of fiscal 2021, reflecting an increase of $18.6 million. The increase was largely driven by the addition of Edmunds advertising and subscription revenues and an improvement in net third-party finance provider fees due to lower Tier 3 originations and favorability from our renegotiated fee agreements. This increase was partially offset by last year’s sale of a new car franchise and a decrease in both extended protection plan (EPP) profit sharing revenues and service revenues compared to last year’s second quarter.

Gross Profit. Total gross profit increased to $815.5 million, an increase of 8.4% versus last year’s second quarter. Retail used vehicle gross profit rose 5.3%, reflecting the increase in total used unit sales. Retail used vehicle gross profit per unit of $2,185 was in-line with historical performance and down slightly from $2,214 in the prior year’s quarter. Wholesale vehicle gross profit increased 30.9% versus the prior year’s quarter, largely reflecting an increase in volume. Wholesale vehicle gross profit per unit of $1,005 was down from $1,086 in the prior year quarter. Other gross profit decreased 5.3% reflecting a decrease in service margin due to the impact of COVID-related savings reflected in last year’s second quarter, an increase in warranty service costs, shifting retail service capacity to support production, as well as a decrease in EPP profit sharing revenues when compared to last year’s quarter. The decrease in other gross profit was partially offset by the inclusion of Edmunds gross profit in our consolidated financial results and favorability from third-party finance fees compared with the second quarter of fiscal 2021.

SG&A. Compared with the second quarter of fiscal 2021, SG&A expenses increased 30.0% to $574.3 million. Contributing factors include an increase in staffing and sales related compensation, continued spending on our technology platforms and strategic initiatives to support increased consumer demand for our omni-channel experiences and the planned increases in advertising expense. In the prior year’s second quarter we took material cost reduction actions in response to the pandemic, which included streamlining investments presented in other overhead and lowering compensation and benefit costs.

SG&A as a percent of gross profit was 70.4%, up from 58.8% in the prior year’s second quarter that included COVID-related cost reductions. For the first six months of fiscal 2022, SG&A as a percent of gross profit was 64.8% versus 69.3% in the prior year period.

CarMax Auto Finance.(3) CAF income increased 35.9% to $200.0 million, primarily reflecting the increase in net interest margin and average managed receivables, partially offset by the $35.5 million loan loss provision compared with the $26.0 million provision in the same period last year. As of August 31, 2021, the allowance for loan losses of $398.1 million was 2.66% of ending managed receivables, in-line with 2.62% as of May 31, 2021.

CAF’s total interest margin percentage, which represents the spread between interest and fees charged to consumers and our funding costs, improved to 7.2% of average managed receivables from 6.0% in the prior year’s second quarter, due to lower funding costs and higher interest and fees from consumers. After the effect of 3-day payoffs, CAF financed 43.0% of units sold in the current quarter, in-line with 42.6% in the prior year’s second quarter.

During the second quarter, CAF retained 10% of Tier 3 volume, up from 5% of Tier 3 in previous quarters. Additionally, CAF began a small test originating in the Tier 2 space. Any future adjustments in Tier 2 and Tier 3 will carefully consider the broader lending environment along with the long-term sustainability of the change.

Share Repurchase Activity. We repurchased 1.8 million shares of common stock for $220.0 million pursuant to our share repurchase program during the second quarter of fiscal 2022. As of August 31, 2021, we had $991.5 million remaining available for repurchase under the outstanding authorization.

Store Openings. During the second quarter of fiscal 2022, we opened three new locations. In fiscal year 2022, we plan to open a total of 10 new locations.

  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.

  • Changes in the availability of extended protection plan products from third-party providers.
