CarMax, Inc. (NYSE:KMX), the nation’s largest retailer of used cars, today reported record sales and earnings for the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended February 29, 2020. The company also discussed its response to the rapidly evolving Coronavirus situation.

- Used unit sales in comparable stores increased 11.0% in the fourth quarter and 7.7% for the fiscal year.

CEO Commentary:
“We are very pleased to report record used vehicle sales and earnings per share for both our fourth quarter and the full year,” said Bill Nash, president and chief executive officer. “However, at this time, our thoughts, focus and concerns are with our associates, customers and communities as we navigate the challenging times we currently face.
“The Coronavirus pandemic is unprecedented,” continued Nash. “The situation is dynamic and changing quickly, making it difficult to predict what the immediate future holds. However, we believe we have the leadership experience, liquidity, resources, financial stability and partners in place to withstand the current environment and be well positioned for when the economy and consumers rebound.”
Coronavirus Update:
We are following the mandates from public health officials and government agencies, including implementation of enhanced cleaning measures, social distancing guidelines and, in some localities, the closing of stores and wholesale auctions.
The positive sales momentum experienced in fiscal 2020 carried into the beginning of March, with robust comparable store used unit sales through the first week of the month. Since then, the Coronavirus situation within the U.S. has rapidly escalated and sales have dropped significantly. Over the past few weeks, approximately half of our stores have closed or are running under limited operations. For our stores that are open, consumer demand has progressively deteriorated.
Financial Position. We have taken proactive measures to bolster our liquidity position and provide additional financial flexibility, including drawing down additional funds on our revolving credit facility. As of March 31, we had approximately $700 million of cash and cash equivalents on hand, more than $300 million of unused capacity on the revolving credit facility and more than $2.5 billion of inventory. We also own the real estate and buildings in more than 140 of our locations across the country, with a net book value in excess of $1.8 billion. From a debt perspective, at March 31, we had $2.5 billion of long-term debt, consisting of approximately $1.1 billion outstanding under the revolving credit facility, $800 million of senior notes and term loans and approximately $535 million in financing obligations related to sale-leasebacks on select stores. Importantly, we have no near-term maturities.
In addition, subsequent to the end of the fiscal year, we halted our stock repurchase program, although the repurchase authorization remains effective. We also paused our store expansion strategy until the Coronavirus situations stabilizes. And, we are actively aligning operating expenses to the current state of the business.
Fourth Quarter Business Performance Review:
Sales. Total used vehicle unit sales increased 14.7%, including an 11.0% increase in comparable store used unit sales compared with the prior year’s fourth quarter. The comparable store sales performance reflected strong conversion, which was aided by strong CAF performance and continued support from our third-party lending partners; the benefit of leap year, which added an extra Saturday during tax-refund season; and solid growth in selling opportunities (e.g., web and phone leads), which we believe benefited from both our national marketing campaign and the favorable response to our consumer initiatives. Also contributing to the robust sales growth were solid execution by the associates in our stores and customer experience centers and an overall favorable used car sales environment.
Total wholesale vehicle unit sales increased 2.0% compared with the fourth quarter of fiscal 2019, driven by an improvement in our appraisal buy rate and the growth in our store base, partially offset by lower appraisal traffic. We achieved a record buy rate in fiscal 2020.
Other sales and revenues increased 9.6% compared with the fourth quarter of fiscal 2019, primarily driven by an increase in extended protection plan (EPP) net revenues. EPP revenues rose $17.4 million, reflecting our strong used unit growth and increased margins. In addition, we recognized $13.8 million in EPP profit sharing revenue. These increases were partially offset by the net effects of a $10.4 million favorable adjustment to EPP cancellation reserves in the prior year’s fourth quarter and a $2.4 million unfavorable adjustment in the current year’s quarter. We received payments of $46.0 million in February 2020, representing the profit sharing accrued during fiscal 2019 and fiscal 2020, which was based on claims experience from calendar years 2016 through 2019. In future years, we expect EPP profit sharing revenue will be less material, as it will reflect only a single incremental year versus four years of activity.
Gross Profit. Total gross profit increased 12.3% versus last year’s fourth quarter to $672.9 million. Used vehicle gross profit rose 16.2%, reflecting the increase in total used unit sales and an improvement in used vehicle gross profit per unit to $2,195 compared with $2,166 in the prior year’s quarter. Wholesale vehicle gross profit increased 3.7% versus the prior year’s quarter, driven by both the increase in wholesale unit sales and an increase in wholesale vehicle gross profit per unit to $993 compared with $977 in last year’s fourth quarter. Other gross profit increased 5.9%, as the $17.4 million growth in EPP profits was partially offset by an $11.5 million decline in service department profits. The current quarter’s service profits continued to be adversely affected by the increase in our post-sale warranty period from 30 to 90 days implemented in May of fiscal 2020 and, to a lesser extent, near-term inefficiencies resulting from our recent ramp in technicians. We believe the increase in our post-sale warranty period is beneficial in the long term as it provides a better overall customer experience; however, it does result in more claims, which increases service costs and utilizes more of our retail service capacity.
SG&A. Compared with the fourth quarter of fiscal 2019, SG&A expenses increased 13.0% to $484.7 million. Factors contributing to the change included the 9% increase in our store base since the beginning of last year’s fourth quarter (representing the addition of 18 stores), higher variable costs associated with our strong retail sales growth, and continued spending to advance our technology platforms and support our core and omni-channel strategic initiatives. SG&A per used unit was $2,345 in the current quarter, down $35 year-over-year. The fourth quarter SG&A per unit benefited from a $21 per unit reduction in stock-based compensation expense. For the fiscal year, SG&A per used unit rose $20 to $2,330. However, excluding stock-based compensation expense, which primarily reflected the effect of the 41% increase our share price during fiscal 2020, we levered SG&A modestly on a per unit basis. For the fiscal year, as expected, advertising expense per used unit rose modestly to $230 versus $222 in fiscal 2019.
CarMax Auto Finance.(1) Compared with last year’s fourth quarter, CAF income increased 7.9% to $111.9 million, reflecting an 8.2% increase in average managed receivables and an improvement in the total interest margin percentage, partially offset by a higher loan loss provision. The total interest margin percentage, which represents the spread between interest and fees charged to consumers and our funding costs, improved to 5.8% of average managed receivables from 5.5% in the prior year’s fourth quarter. The provision for loan losses increased to $53.0 million from $42.1 million in the prior year quarter, reflecting both the growth in average managed receivables and a modest increase in losses. However, we remained well within the range of our overall net loss expectations, and the allowance for loan losses of 1.16% of ending managed receivables as of February 29, 2020, was similar to the ratio for the earlier interim quarters of fiscal 2020.
Share Repurchase Activity. We repurchased 1.2 million shares of common stock for $113.6 million pursuant to our share repurchase program during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020. For the full year, we repurchased 7.0 million shares for $561.6 million in fiscal 2020, down from $902.9 million in the prior year. As of February 29, 2020, we had $1.55 billion remaining available for repurchase under the outstanding authorization. Subsequent to the end of the fiscal year, we halted our stock repurchase program, although the repurchase authorization remains effective.
Components of Debt. As of February 29, 2020, we had long-term debt, excluding non-recourse notes payable, of $1.79 billion, consisting of $452.7 million outstanding under our revolving credit facility, $800 million of senior notes and term loans and $536.7 million in financing obligations related to sale-leasebacks on select stores. The revolving credit facility and term loan maturity dates are in 2024, and the earliest of the staggered maturities on the senior notes is in 2023. At February 29, 2020, we had additional borrowing capacity of $997.3 million under the revolving credit facility.
As of February 29, 2020, $2.18 billion of auto loan receivables were funded through our warehouse facilities and unused warehouse capacity totaled $1.32 billion. Our warehouse facilities have annual terms with staggered renewal dates between August 2020 and February 2021. As of February 29, 2020, $11.43 billion of non-recourse notes payable were outstanding related to receivables funded in asset-backed term funding transactions.
(1) Although CAF benefits from certain indirect overhead expenditures, we have not allocated indirect costs to CAF to avoid making subjective allocation decisions.

Store Openings
During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020, we opened three stores -- two in existing markets (Portland, Oregon and Nashville, Tennessee) and one in a new market (Ft. Wayne, Indiana). We also opened a Customer Experience Center in Phoenix, Arizona. In March, subsequent to the end of the quarter, we opened a store in the Tampa, Florida market.
While we remain committed to executing our store growth plan for the long-term benefit of customers and shareholders, we have decided to pause our store expansion strategy until the Coronavirus situation stabilizes. Previously, it was our intent to open 13 stores during the fiscal year ending February 28, 2021, and a similar number of stores in fiscal 2022.
