CEO Commentary:

"Our third quarter performance reflects the continued efforts of the team that have resulted in several quarters of sequential improvements across key components of our business, despite the persistent widespread pressures in the used car industry," said Bill Nash, president and chief executive officer. "Key results this quarter include year-over-year growth in wholesale units, further SG&A reductions, a strengthened credit mix in CAF's portfolio, strong retail and wholesale gross profit per unit, and year-over-year growth in profitability. In addition, we continue to be encouraged by the positive impact that our omni-channel investments are having on our business. Some of those benefits include incremental retail customers, web traffic growth and enhanced vehicle sourcing."

Third Quarter Business Performance Review:

Sales. Combined retail and wholesale used vehicle unit sales were 302,666, an increase of 1.3% from the prior year's third quarter. Online retail sales⁽¹⁾ accounted for 14% of retail unit sales, compared with 12% in the third quarter of last year. Revenue from online transactions⁽²⁾, including retail and wholesale unit sales, was $1.9 billion, or approximately 31% of net revenues, up from 28% in last year's third quarter.

Total retail used vehicle unit sales declined 2.9% to 174,766 compared to the prior year's third quarter. Comparable store used unit sales declined 4.1% from the prior year's third quarter. We believe vehicle affordability challenges continued to impact our third quarter unit sales performance, with ongoing headwinds due to widespread inflationary pressures, higher interest rates, tightened lending standards and low consumer confidence. Total retail used vehicle revenues decreased 7.2% compared with the prior year's third quarter, driven by the decrease in average retail selling price, which declined approximately $1,300 per unit, or 4.6%, as well as the decrease in retail used units sold.

Total wholesale vehicle unit sales increased 7.7% to 127,900 versus the prior year's third quarter. Total wholesale revenues increased 1.1% compared with the prior year's third quarter due to an increase in wholesale units sold, partially offset by a decrease in the average wholesale selling price of approximately $600 per unit or 6.7%.

We bought 250,000 vehicles from consumers and dealers, up 5.1% versus last year's third quarter. Of these vehicles, 228,000 were bought from consumers and 22,000 were bought through dealers, an increase of 1.6% and 61.7%, respectively, from last year's results.

Gross Profit. Total gross profit was $612.9 million, up 6.3% versus last year's third quarter. Retail used vehicle gross profit declined 1.2%, primarily reflecting the decline in retail unit sales. Retail gross profit per used unit was $2,277, in line with last year's third quarter.

Wholesale vehicle gross profit increased 7.2% versus the prior year's quarter, reflecting higher wholesale unit volume. Gross profit per unit was $961, in line with last year's third quarter.

Other gross profit increased 55.4% largely reflecting a $33.4 million year-over-year improvement in service gross profit driven by the efficiency and cost coverage measures that we have put in place.

SG&A. Compared with the third quarter of fiscal 2023, SG&A expenses decreased 5.4% to $560.0 million. This reduction reflects the continuation of our cost and efficiency efforts that we implemented a year ago. This quarter delivered decreases in costs related to staffing, non-CAF uncollectible receivables and a reduced level of spend for our technology platforms. Partially offsetting these items was an increase in advertising and stock-based compensation expense. SG&A as a percent of gross profit decreased by 11.2 percentage points to 91.4% as compared to the prior year's third quarter.

CarMax Auto Finance.⁽³⁾ CAF income decreased 2.3% to $148.7 million, driven by the decline in CAF's net interest margin percentage, which outweighed a $17.4 million year-over-year decrease in the provision for loan losses and the growth in CAF's average managed receivables. This quarter's provision was $68.3 million compared to $85.7 million in the prior year's third quarter.

As of November 30, 2023, the allowance for loan losses was 2.92% of ending managed receivables, down from 3.08% as of August 31, 2023. The decrease in the allowance percentage primarily reflected the effect of the previously disclosed tightening of CAF's underwriting standards.

CAF's total interest margin percentage, which represents the spread between interest and fees charged to consumers and our funding costs, was 5.9% of average managed receivables, down slightly from this year's second quarter and down from 6.7% in the prior year's third quarter, as increases in our customer rates were more than offset by the rising cost of funds. Year-over-year performance was also negatively impacted by the mark-to-market effects of our derivative instruments not designated as hedges for accounting purposes. After the effect of 3-day payoffs, CAF financed 44.0% of units sold in the current quarter, down from 44.4% in the prior year's third quarter. CAF's weighted average contract rate was 11.3% in the quarter, up from 9.8% in the third quarter last year.

Share Repurchase Activity. During the third quarter of fiscal year 2024, we resumed our share repurchase program after a pause initiated during the third quarter of fiscal year 2023. We repurchased 648,500 shares of common stock for $41.9 million in the quarter. As of November 30, 2023, we had $2.41 billion remaining available for repurchase under the outstanding authorization.

Location Openings. During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2024, we will open four stores including two in the New York metro market and one in each of the Los Angeles and Chicago metro markets. We will also open our first stand-alone reconditioning center in the Atlanta metro market.

⁽¹⁾	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.
