- Net sales and operating revenues increased 11.0% to $4.11 billion.
- Used unit sales in comparable stores increased 2.7%.
- Total used unit sales rose 8.2%.
- Total wholesale unit sales increased 9.1%.

Third Quarter Business Performance Review
Sales. Total used vehicle unit sales grew 8.2% and comparable store used unit sales rose 2.7% versus the prior year’s third quarter. The comparable store sales performance reflected an increase in conversion, partially offset by lower store traffic. We were able to leverage our national footprint and nationwide transportation network to quickly transfer vehicles into hurricane-affected markets, and these stores drove our third quarter comparable store unit sales growth.
Total wholesale vehicle unit sales increased 9.1% compared with the third quarter of fiscal 2017, reflecting a substantial increase in our appraisal buy rate and the growth in our store base. We believe the appraisal buy rate benefited from strong wholesale industry vehicle valuations.
Other sales and revenues increased 5.1% compared with the third quarter of fiscal 2017, primarily reflecting improvements in extended protection plan (EPP) revenues, partially offset by a decline in net third-party finance fees. EPP revenues increased 9.8%, largely due to the growth in our used unit sales. The $3.7 million reduction in third-party finance fees reflected shifts in our sales mix by finance channel.
Gross Profit. Total gross profit increased 7.2% versus last year’s third quarter, to $539.2 million. Used vehicle gross profit rose 7.9%, driven by the 8.2% increase in total used unit sales. Used vehicle gross profit per unit was similar at $2,148 versus $2,155 in the prior year period. Wholesale vehicle gross profit increased 13.1% versus the prior year’s quarter, driven by the 9.1% increase in wholesale unit sales and an increase in wholesale vehicle gross profit per unit to $933 from $900. We believe this year’s third quarter wholesale gross profit per unit continued to benefit from a favorable depreciation environment relative to historical trends. Other gross profit declined 1.6%, reflecting a decrease in service profits, together with the noted changes in EPP revenues and net third-party finance fees.
SG&A. Compared with the third quarter of fiscal 2017, SG&A expenses increased 12.0% to $399.7 million. Factors contributing to the increase included: (i) the 13% increase in our store base since the beginning of last year’s third quarter (representing the addition of 21 stores) and (ii) a combined increase of $8.0 million in stock-based compensation expense and the accrual for corporate incentive pay. SG&A per used unit was $2,356 in the current quarter, up $81 year-over-year, of which $42 was due to the higher stock-based compensation expense and corporate incentive pay accrual.
CarMax Auto Finance.(1) Compared with last year’s third quarter, CAF income increased 15.1% to $102.8 million. The increase reflected the combined effects of the growth in average managed receivables and a decline in the provision for loan losses, partially offset by a lower total interest margin percentage. Average managed receivables grew 10.4% to $11.37 billion. The provision for loan losses declined 10.5% to $37.5 million, compared with $41.9 million in the prior year quarter. The prior year’s provision was affected by rising loss experience, while losses in the current year’s quarter were generally consistent with expectations. The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of ending managed receivables was 1.11% as of November 30, 2017, compared with 1.15% as of August 31, 2017, and 1.10% as of November 30, 2016. The total interest margin, which reflects the spread between interest and fees charged to consumers and our funding costs, was 5.7% of average managed receivables compared with 5.8% in last year’s third quarter.
Interest Expense. Interest expense rose to $17.4 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2018 from $15.1 million in the prior year’s third quarter. The increase primarily reflected higher outstanding debt in fiscal 2018 and a reduction in capitalized interest.
Income Taxes. The effective tax rate declined to 33.9% in the third quarter of fiscal 2018 from 37.8% in the prior year’s third quarter. The current year’s third quarter provision for income taxes was reduced $8.7 million by the effect of a new accounting standard for share-based compensation on stock option settlement activity. The new accounting standard, which was adopted as of the beginning of fiscal 2018, requires the income tax effects of share-based awards be recognized in the provision for income taxes when the awards vest or are settled; previously the tax effects were recognized in shareholders’ equity.
Store Openings. During the third quarter of fiscal 2018, we opened five stores. We entered one new television market (Tyler, Texas) and we added four stores in existing television markets (Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; Las Vegas, Nevada; San Francisco, California; and Seattle, Washington).
Share Repurchase Activity. During the third quarter of fiscal 2018, we repurchased 1.5 million shares of common stock for $107.2 million pursuant to our share repurchase program. As of November 30, 2017, we had $1.14 billion remaining available for repurchase under the current authorization.

In connection with our adoption of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ASU 2016-09 during the first quarter of fiscal 2018, cash flows related to excess tax benefits from share-based payment arrangements are now classified as operating activities rather than financing activities. Prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period’s presentation. |
