CEO Commentary:
“We delivered our fourth consecutive quarter of positive retail comps and double-digit year-over-year earnings per share growth. These results highlight the strength of our earnings growth model, which is underpinned by our best-in-class omni-channel experience, the diversity of our business, and our sharp focus on execution,” said Bill Nash, president and chief executive officer. “Our associates, stores, technology and digital capabilities, all seamlessly tied together, enable us to provide the most customer-centric car buying and selling experience. This is a key differentiator in a very large and fragmented market that positions us to continue to drive sales, gain market share, and deliver significant year-over-year earnings growth for years to come.”
First Quarter Business Performance Review:
Sales. Combined retail and wholesale used vehicle unit sales were 379,727, an increase of 5.8% from the prior year’s first quarter.
Total retail used vehicle unit sales increased 9.0% to 230,210 compared to the prior year’s first quarter. Comparable store used unit sales increased 8.1% from the prior year’s first quarter. Total retail used vehicle revenues increased 7.5% compared with the prior year’s first quarter, driven by the increase in retail used units sold.
Total wholesale vehicle unit sales increased 1.2% to 149,517 versus the prior year’s first quarter. Total wholesale revenues declined 0.3% compared with the prior year’s first quarter due to a decrease in the average wholesale selling price of approximately $150 per unit or 1.7%, partially offset by the increase in wholesale units sold.
We bought 336,000 vehicles from consumers and dealers, up 7.2% compared to last year’s first quarter. Of these vehicles, 288,000 were bought from consumers and 48,000 were bought through dealers, an increase of 3.3% and 38.4%, respectively, from last year’s first quarter.
Other sales and revenues increased by 6.1%, or $10.9 million, compared with the first quarter of fiscal 2025, primarily reflecting an increase in EPP revenues driven by an increase in retail unit sales.
Our digital capabilities supported 80% of retail unit sales. Omni sales(2) were 66% and online retail sales(3) accounted for 14% of retail unit sales.
Gross Profit. Total gross profit was $893.6 million, up 12.8% versus last year’s first quarter. Retail used vehicle gross profit increased 11.8% and retail gross profit per used unit increased $60 from the prior year’s first quarter to $2,407, a record high.
Wholesale vehicle gross profit decreased 0.4% versus the prior year’s first quarter. Gross profit per unit was historically strong at $1,047, though a decrease of $17 from the prior year’s first quarter.
Other gross profit increased 31.3% primarily reflecting growth in service gross profit driven by cost coverage measures, positive retail unit growth, and increased efficiencies as well as growth in EPP revenues supported by stronger retail unit sales.
SG&A. Compared with the first quarter of fiscal 2025, SG&A expenses increased 3.3% or $21.1 million to $659.6 million, primarily driven by an increase in compensation and benefits driven by costs related to unit volume growth. SG&A as a percent of gross profit improved by 680 basis points to 73.8% in the first quarter compared to 80.6% in the prior year’s first quarter, driven by the growth in gross profit and ongoing cost management efforts in the stores and customer experience centers.
CarMax Auto Finance Expands Non-Prime Funding Program. During the first quarter, CAF earmarked $637.9 million of non-prime loans from the CAF portfolio that are intended to be fully sold off our balance sheet. As of May 31, 2025, these loans have been reclassified as held for sale on our consolidated balance sheet. Auto loans in CAF’s portfolio that have not been designated as held for sale are designated as held for investment. We expect that the expansion of our non-prime funding program will provide significant flexibility in supporting CAF’s full spectrum penetration growth plans while mitigating risk.
CarMax Auto Finance.(4) CAF income decreased 3.6% to $141.7 million as an increase in the provision for loan losses outweighed growth in CAF’s net interest margin percentage. This quarter’s provision for loan losses was $101.7 million compared to $81.2 million in the prior year’s first quarter, driven by loss performance among 2022 and 2023 vintages and economic uncertainty. There was a reduction in this quarter’s provision due to the release of $26 million for the allowance previously recorded for loans that are now classified as held for sale.
As of May 31, 2025, the allowance for loan losses of $474.2 million was 2.76% of auto loans held for investment, up from 2.61% as of February 28, 2025.
CAF’s total interest margin percentage, which represents the spread between interest and fees charged to consumers and our funding costs, was 6.5% of average auto loans outstanding, which includes held for investment and held for sale, up 30 basis points from both the prior year’s first quarter and from the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025. After the effect of 3-day payoffs, CAF financed 41.8% of units sold in the current quarter, down from 43.3% in the prior year’s first quarter. CAF’s reduction in penetration was primarily driven by an influx of self-funded, higher credit purchasers seen during the initial announcement of tariffs, and to a lesser degree, a higher Tier 3 penetration, both of which more than offset our expansion since the fourth quarter of last year. CAF’s weighted average contract rate was 11.4% in the quarter, consistent with the first quarter last year.
Share Repurchase Activity. During the first quarter of fiscal year 2026, we repurchased 3.0 million shares of common stock for $199.8 million. As of May 31, 2025, we had $1.74 billion remaining available for repurchase under the outstanding authorization.
Location Openings. During the first quarter of fiscal 2026, we opened two new stand-alone reconditioning/auction centers. The centers are located in El Mirage, Arizona, supporting the Phoenix metro market, and Midlothian, Texas, supporting the Dallas metro market.
(2) | An omni retail unit sale is defined as a sale where customers complete at least one, but not all, of the four activities listed in note (3) below online. An omni retail unit sale also includes additional steps that can be completed online, including pre-qualifying for financing, setting appointments and signing up for notifications of cars coming soon. |
(3) | An online retail sale is defined as a sale where the customer completes all four of these major transactional activities online: reserving the vehicle; financing the vehicle, if needed; trading-in or opting out of a trade in; and creating an online sales order. |
(4) | Although CAF benefits from certain indirect overhead expenditures, we have not allocated indirect costs to CAF to avoid making subjective allocation decisions. |

CarMax Reports First Quarter Fiscal Year 2026 Results
20 juni, 12:50
CarMax, Inc. (NYSE:KMX) today reported results for the first quarter ended May 31, 2025.
First Quarter Highlights:(1)
- Net earnings per diluted share increased 42.3% to $1.38 from $0.97 a year ago.
- Retail used unit sales increased 9.0% and comparable store used unit sales increased 8.1%; wholesale units increased 1.2%.
- Total gross profit increased 12.8% to $893.6 million, driven by higher unit volumes and strong unit margin performance.
- Record high gross profit per retail used unit of $2,407, up $60 per unit
- Historically strong gross profit per wholesale unit of $1,047, down $17 per unit
- Extended Protection Plans (EPP) margin per retail unit of $572, an increase of $9 per unit
- Service margin of $143 per retail unit, an improvement of $128 per retail unit
- Bought 336,000 vehicles from consumers and dealers, an increase of 7.2%.

- 48,000 vehicles were purchased through dealers, up 38.4%
- SG&A increased 3.3% to $659.6 million. Ongoing cost management efforts supported strong leverage of 680 basis points in SG&A as a percent of gross profit.
- Expanded CarMax Auto Finance (CAF) non-prime funding program, which we expect to provide significant flexibility in supporting CAF’s full spectrum penetration growth plans while mitigating risk.
- CAF income decreased 3.6% to $141.7 million as an increase in the provision for loan losses outweighed growth in the net interest margin percentage.
- Accelerated the pace of share buybacks with $199.8 million in shares of common stock repurchased in the first quarter of fiscal year 2026.
(1) | Comparisons to the prior year’s first quarter unless otherwise stated |
CEO Commentary:
“We delivered our fourth consecutive quarter of positive retail comps and double-digit year-over-year earnings per share growth. These results highlight the strength of our earnings growth model, which is underpinned by our best-in-class omni-channel experience, the diversity of our business, and our sharp focus on execution,” said Bill Nash, president and chief executive officer. “Our associates, stores, technology and digital capabilities, all seamlessly tied together, enable us to provide the most customer-centric car buying and selling experience. This is a key differentiator in a very large and fragmented market that positions us to continue to drive sales, gain market share, and deliver significant year-over-year earnings growth for years to come.”
First Quarter Business Performance Review:
Sales. Combined retail and wholesale used vehicle unit sales were 379,727, an increase of 5.8% from the prior year’s first quarter.
Total retail used vehicle unit sales increased 9.0% to 230,210 compared to the prior year’s first quarter. Comparable store used unit sales increased 8.1% from the prior year’s first quarter. Total retail used vehicle revenues increased 7.5% compared with the prior year’s first quarter, driven by the increase in retail used units sold.
Total wholesale vehicle unit sales increased 1.2% to 149,517 versus the prior year’s first quarter. Total wholesale revenues declined 0.3% compared with the prior year’s first quarter due to a decrease in the average wholesale selling price of approximately $150 per unit or 1.7%, partially offset by the increase in wholesale units sold.
We bought 336,000 vehicles from consumers and dealers, up 7.2% compared to last year’s first quarter. Of these vehicles, 288,000 were bought from consumers and 48,000 were bought through dealers, an increase of 3.3% and 38.4%, respectively, from last year’s first quarter.
Other sales and revenues increased by 6.1%, or $10.9 million, compared with the first quarter of fiscal 2025, primarily reflecting an increase in EPP revenues driven by an increase in retail unit sales.
Our digital capabilities supported 80% of retail unit sales. Omni sales(2) were 66% and online retail sales(3) accounted for 14% of retail unit sales.
Gross Profit. Total gross profit was $893.6 million, up 12.8% versus last year’s first quarter. Retail used vehicle gross profit increased 11.8% and retail gross profit per used unit increased $60 from the prior year’s first quarter to $2,407, a record high.
Wholesale vehicle gross profit decreased 0.4% versus the prior year’s first quarter. Gross profit per unit was historically strong at $1,047, though a decrease of $17 from the prior year’s first quarter.
Other gross profit increased 31.3% primarily reflecting growth in service gross profit driven by cost coverage measures, positive retail unit growth, and increased efficiencies as well as growth in EPP revenues supported by stronger retail unit sales.
SG&A. Compared with the first quarter of fiscal 2025, SG&A expenses increased 3.3% or $21.1 million to $659.6 million, primarily driven by an increase in compensation and benefits driven by costs related to unit volume growth. SG&A as a percent of gross profit improved by 680 basis points to 73.8% in the first quarter compared to 80.6% in the prior year’s first quarter, driven by the growth in gross profit and ongoing cost management efforts in the stores and customer experience centers.
CarMax Auto Finance Expands Non-Prime Funding Program. During the first quarter, CAF earmarked $637.9 million of non-prime loans from the CAF portfolio that are intended to be fully sold off our balance sheet. As of May 31, 2025, these loans have been reclassified as held for sale on our consolidated balance sheet. Auto loans in CAF’s portfolio that have not been designated as held for sale are designated as held for investment. We expect that the expansion of our non-prime funding program will provide significant flexibility in supporting CAF’s full spectrum penetration growth plans while mitigating risk.
CarMax Auto Finance.(4) CAF income decreased 3.6% to $141.7 million as an increase in the provision for loan losses outweighed growth in CAF’s net interest margin percentage. This quarter’s provision for loan losses was $101.7 million compared to $81.2 million in the prior year’s first quarter, driven by loss performance among 2022 and 2023 vintages and economic uncertainty. There was a reduction in this quarter’s provision due to the release of $26 million for the allowance previously recorded for loans that are now classified as held for sale.
As of May 31, 2025, the allowance for loan losses of $474.2 million was 2.76% of auto loans held for investment, up from 2.61% as of February 28, 2025.
CAF’s total interest margin percentage, which represents the spread between interest and fees charged to consumers and our funding costs, was 6.5% of average auto loans outstanding, which includes held for investment and held for sale, up 30 basis points from both the prior year’s first quarter and from the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025. After the effect of 3-day payoffs, CAF financed 41.8% of units sold in the current quarter, down from 43.3% in the prior year’s first quarter. CAF’s reduction in penetration was primarily driven by an influx of self-funded, higher credit purchasers seen during the initial announcement of tariffs, and to a lesser degree, a higher Tier 3 penetration, both of which more than offset our expansion since the fourth quarter of last year. CAF’s weighted average contract rate was 11.4% in the quarter, consistent with the first quarter last year.
Share Repurchase Activity. During the first quarter of fiscal year 2026, we repurchased 3.0 million shares of common stock for $199.8 million. As of May 31, 2025, we had $1.74 billion remaining available for repurchase under the outstanding authorization.
Location Openings. During the first quarter of fiscal 2026, we opened two new stand-alone reconditioning/auction centers. The centers are located in El Mirage, Arizona, supporting the Phoenix metro market, and Midlothian, Texas, supporting the Dallas metro market.
(2) | An omni retail unit sale is defined as a sale where customers complete at least one, but not all, of the four activities listed in note (3) below online. An omni retail unit sale also includes additional steps that can be completed online, including pre-qualifying for financing, setting appointments and signing up for notifications of cars coming soon. |
(3) | An online retail sale is defined as a sale where the customer completes all four of these major transactional activities online: reserving the vehicle; financing the vehicle, if needed; trading-in or opting out of a trade in; and creating an online sales order. |
(4) | Although CAF benefits from certain indirect overhead expenditures, we have not allocated indirect costs to CAF to avoid making subjective allocation decisions. |
