CEO Commentary:
“We are extremely proud of our accomplishments in fiscal 2022, which we believe position us well for continued long-term growth across our retail and wholesale business, and CarMax Auto Finance,” said Bill Nash, president and chief executive officer. “The roll out and rapid adoption of our online instant appraisal offer has solidified our position as the nation’s largest buyer of vehicles from consumers, nearly doubling our fiscal 2022 inventory self sufficiency and propelling our wholesale business to new heights. We continue to expand the availability of our end-to-end, unaided online experience, and we expect to have this capability available to 100% of customers by the end of our first quarter. We also continue to enhance our finance-based shopping experience, further positioning our business for growth. While the fourth quarter was adversely affected by macro factors, our retail market share growth for the year was the highest it’s been during my tenure as CEO and is a reflection of our ability to deliver the most customer-centric experience in the industry.”
Fourth Quarter Business Performance Review:
Sales. Combined retail and wholesale used vehicle unit sales were 343,413, an increase of 11.3% from the prior year’s fourth quarter. Online retail sales(1) accounted for 11% of retail unit sales, compared with 5% in the fourth quarter of last year. Revenue from online transactions(2), including retail and wholesale unit sales, was $2.4 billion, or approximately 31% of net revenues, compared with 17% of net revenues in last year’s fourth quarter.
Total retail used vehicle unit sales declined 5.2% to 194,318 and comparable store used unit sales declined 6.5% from the prior year’s fourth quarter. We believe a number of macro factors weighed on our fourth quarter unit sales performance, including declining consumer confidence, the Omicron-fueled surge in COVID cases, vehicle affordability, and the lapping of stimulus benefits paid in the prior year period. Total retail used vehicle revenues increased 32.6% compared with the prior year’s fourth quarter due to an increase in the average retail selling price, which rose approximately $8,300 per unit, or 39.7%, partially offset by the decrease in retail used units sold. The increase in average retail selling price largely reflected higher vehicle acquisition costs resulting from strong wholesale industry valuations.
Total wholesale vehicle unit sales increased 43.8% to 149,095 compared with the prior year’s fourth quarter. Wholesale sales benefited from the large increase in appraisal volume associated with our online appraisal offerings and a continued strong buy rate. Total wholesale revenues increased 160.2% compared with the prior year’s fourth quarter due to the average wholesale selling price rising by nearly $5,300 per unit, or 85.2%, together with the increase in wholesale units sold.
Other sales and revenues rose 15.2% compared with the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021, representing an increase of $23.9 million. The increase was largely driven by the consolidation of Edmunds earlier this fiscal year, as well as improvements in extended protection plan (EPP) revenues and net third-party finance income. EPP revenues included a $10.6 million year-over-year net benefit from the recognition of profit sharing revenues and adjustments to our cancellation reserves, which more than offset the effect of the decline in retail unit volume. Third-party finance income benefited from lower Tier 3 originations. The increase in other sales and revenues was partially offset by the divestiture of our remaining new car franchise earlier in fiscal 2022.
Gross Profit. Total gross profit increased to $711.0 million, up 10.9% versus last year’s fourth quarter. Retail used vehicle gross profit declined 0.2%, reflecting the combined effects of the decline in retail unit sales and an improvement in the related gross profit per unit, which rose $109 to $2,195.
Wholesale vehicle gross profit increased 73.0% versus the prior year’s quarter, reflecting both the growth in unit volume and an increase in the related gross profit per unit, which rose $201 to $1,191.

Other gross profit declined 3.8% largely reflecting a reduction in service department margins, partially offset by the consolidation of Edmunds and the improvements in EPP revenues and net third-party finance income. Service margins declined primarily due to the deleverage resulting from the decline in retail unit sales together with the adverse effects on technician staffing and reconditioning efficiency from the fourth quarter COVID surge.
SG&A. Compared with the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021, SG&A expenses increased 22.5% to $620.9 million. Contributing factors included continued spending on our technology platforms and strategic initiatives to support long-term consumer demand, the consolidation of Edmunds, and previously announced increases in advertising expense. In addition, we experienced increases in growth costs related to appraisal buys, new stores, and customer experience centers, as well as an increase in the annual bonus-related compensation. Partially offsetting these items was a reduction in share-based compensation, which largely reflected changes in the company’s share price.
SG&A as a percent of gross profit was 87.3%, versus 79.0% in the prior year’s fourth quarter. For the fiscal year, SG&A as a percent of gross profit was 70.7% versus 71.6% in the prior year.
CarMax Auto Finance.(3) CAF income increased 3.0% to $193.8 million. Improvements in CAF’s net interest margin and the growth in average managed receivables more than offset the substantial increase in the provision for loan losses, which was a more normalized $54.4 million in the current year’s fourth quarter versus $4.6 million in the prior year’s fourth quarter. In the prior year’s quarter, the provision for loan losses benefited from the continued reduction in the reserve that was established at the start of the COVID pandemic.
As of February 28, 2022, the allowance for loan losses was 2.77% of ending managed receivables, up from 2.75% as of November 30, 2021. The increase in the allowance percentage primarily reflected the effect of the previously disclosed expansion of Tier 2 and Tier 3 originations within CAF’s portfolio.
CAF’s total interest margin percentage, which represents the spread between interest and fees charged to consumers and our funding costs, improved to 7.3% of average managed receivables from 6.4% in the prior year’s fourth quarter, primarily due to lower funding costs. After the effect of 3-day payoffs, CAF financed 41.0% of units sold in the current quarter, compared with 43.5% in the prior year’s fourth quarter, largely reflecting an increase in the mix of customers utilizing outside financing.
Share Repurchase Activity. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022, we repurchased 0.9 million shares of common stock for $101.7 million pursuant to our share repurchase program. As of February 28, 2022, we had $774.5 million remaining available for repurchase under the outstanding authorization. Subsequent to the end of the fiscal year, the Board of Directors increased the share repurchase authorization by $2.0 billion.
Store Openings. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022, we opened four new retail locations. For the full fiscal year, we opened ten new locations, and we had a total of 230 used car stores as of February 28, 2022.
Fiscal 2023 Capital Spending Plan
We currently plan to open ten stores in fiscal 2023, including our expected entry into the New York metro market. We estimate capital expenditures will increase to approximately $500 million in fiscal 2023 from $308.5 million in fiscal 2022. The increase in planned capital spending in fiscal 2023 largely reflects spending to support our future long-term growth, including investments in auction, sales, and production facilities, and technology.

Long-Term Targets
In May 2021, we introduced 5-year financial targets, including: (i) selling 2 million vehicles through our combined retail and wholesale channels by fiscal 2026; (ii) generating $33 billion in revenue by fiscal 2026; and (iii) growing our nationwide share of the age 0-10 used vehicle market to more than 5% by the end of calendar 2025. Although we do not anticipate updating these targets annually, given our strong performance in fiscal 2022, we believe it is appropriate to provide the following update at this time:
•Sell between 2 million and 2.4 million vehicles through our combined retail and wholesale channels by fiscal 2026.
•Generate between $33 billion and $45 billion in revenue by fiscal 2026.
•Re-affirm the growth of our nationwide share of the age 0-10 used vehicle market to more than 5% by the end of calendar 2025.
(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.
