Fourth Quarter Business Performance Review
Sales. "We are pleased to report
strong fourth quarter and fiscal year results," said Tom Folliard,
president and chief executive officer. "Comparable store used unit sales
increased 12% in the fourth quarter, despite facing the toughest
comparison of the year." The increase in comparable store sales
primarily reflected a continued rebound in customer traffic. Sales
execution also remained strong.
Wholesale unit sales increased 41% compared with the fourth quarter of
fiscal 2010. The improvement primarily reflected a substantial increase
in appraisal traffic. We believe that our appraisal traffic benefited
from the recent improvement in new car industry sales. Wholesale sales
also benefited from our higher appraisal buy rate. We have achieved a
year-over-year improvement in our appraisal buy rate for eight
consecutive quarters.
Other sales and revenues increased 19% compared with the prior year's
fourth quarter, fueled by increases in both extended service plan (ESP)
revenues and net third-party finance fees. ESP revenues included a
benefit of $0.01 per share related to a slow down in the rate of ESP
cancellations. While the percent of sales financed by our subprime
finance providers was generally consistent with last year's fourth
quarter, the overall percent of sales financed by third-parties
increased. This change in third-party originations and the resulting
increase in net finance fees reflected, in part, the effect of current
arrangements with these providers to purchase a portion of the loans
that previously would have been originated by CAF.
Gross Profit. Total gross profit
increased 21% to $320.7 million from $265.2 million in the fourth
quarter of fiscal 2010, primarily reflecting the increases in used and
wholesale unit sales, as well as an improvement in total gross profit
dollars per retail unit. Total gross profit per retail unit increased
$181 to $3,146 per unit in the current quarter from $2,965 per unit in
the corresponding prior year quarter.
Used vehicle gross profit per unit increased to $2,096 in the current
quarter from $2,067 in the prior year quarter. As of the end of fiscal
2011, we estimate our efforts to eliminate waste from our reconditioning
processes in recent years have allowed us to achieve a sustainable
reduction in average reconditioning costs of approximately $250 per
vehicle, on a cumulative basis.
Wholesale gross profit per unit increased to $956 in the current
quarter, compared with $936 in the fourth quarter of last year. The
continued strength of our wholesale gross profits reflected the strong
demand for older, higher mileage vehicles, which are the mainstay of our
auctions, as well as the continued strong dealer attendance and
resulting high dealer-to-car ratios at our auctions.
CarMax Auto Finance. Effective March
1, 2010, we adopted new accounting standards that affected the timing of
the recognition of CAF income. Beginning in fiscal 2011, CAF income no
longer includes a gain on the sale of loans through securitization
transactions, but instead primarily reflects the interest and fee income
generated by the auto loan receivables less interest expense, direct CAF
expenses and a provision for estimated loan losses.
CAF income was $54.1 million compared with $58.9 million in last year's
fourth quarter. In the prior year period, CAF income was increased by
adjustments totaling $26.6 million related to loans originated in
previous fiscal periods.
SG&A. Selling, general and
administrative expenses increased 15% to $233.5 million from $202.2
million in the prior year's fourth quarter. The increase in SG&A
primarily reflected increases in sales commissions and other variable
costs associated with the growth in unit sales, and higher advertising
expense, as well as costs associated with our resumption of store
growth. The SG&A ratio improved to 10.4% in the current year's quarter
compared with 11.0% in the prior's year quarter, reflecting the leverage
associated with the increases in both unit sales and average selling
prices.
Income Taxes. The income tax
provision for the current year's fourth quarter included a benefit of
$0.01 per share related to the favorable adjustments relating to prior
years' tax reserves.
Results. "We are extremely pleased
to deliver record profits this year, supported by the solid rebound in
sales and traffic and the returns on our continuing efforts to develop
associates, drive execution and discover efficiencies," said Folliard.
"For the fiscal year, our data indicates that we increased our share of
the late-model used vehicle market by approximately 7%. We believe that
our ability to consistently grow market share, regardless of the
economic backdrop, is a testament to the strength of our consumer offer,
the skill of our associates and the preference for our brand."

Expectations for Fiscal Year Ending February
29, 2012
CarMax Auto Finance. In fiscal 2011,
CAF income significantly exceeded our initial expectations due to a
combination of factors. The spread between consumer rates and funding
costs remained at wide levels relative to historical averages for the
entire year, while we had anticipated a reduction in this spread to more
normal levels over the course of the fiscal year. In addition,
better-than-expected loss experience resulted in a provision for loan
losses that was significantly lower than we had anticipated. The
provision for loan losses was 0.7% of average managed receivables in
fiscal 2011.
To help investors understand the effects of last year's accounting
transition, we are again providing one-time guidance on CAF income at
the outset of the fiscal year. We currently estimate CAF income will be
in the range of $205 million to $235 million in fiscal 2012. We expect a
moderate reduction in the spread between consumer rates and our funding
costs over the course of the year, although not back to historical
averages. In addition, we expect the provision for loan losses to be
approximately 1% of average managed receivables, which would represent
an increase compared with fiscal 2011.
A number of factors could affect the actual amount of CAF income in
fiscal 2012, including changes in consumer interest rates and/or funding
costs related to new loan originations, changes in loan loss experience,
changes in the volume of CAF loan originations and potential regulatory
changes. We do not plan to update or provide additional CAF income
guidance on a going-forward basis.

Normal construction, permitting or other scheduling delays could shift
the opening dates of any of these stores into a later period.
We currently estimate capital expenditures will total approximately $225
million in fiscal 2012. Compared with the $76.6 million of capital
spending in fiscal 2011, the increase in planned fiscal 2012
expenditures primarily reflects real estate acquisitions and
construction costs associated with store growth. We incurred no material
construction costs in fiscal 2011 related to the three stores opened in
the current year. These stores were built in fiscal 2009, but we chose
not to open them until economic conditions improved. We expect fiscal
2012 capital spending will include some costs for stores planned to be
opened in the first half of fiscal 2013. We currently expect to open
between eight and ten stores in fiscal 2013.
