CARMAX, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)

1.Background
Business. CarMax, Inc. (“we,” “our,” “us,” “CarMax” and “the company”), including its wholly owned subsidiaries, is the nation’s largest retailer of used vehicles.  We operate in two reportable segments:  CarMax Sales Operations and CarMax Auto Finance (“CAF”).  Our CarMax Sales Operations segment consists of all aspects of our auto merchandising and service operations, excluding financing provided by CAF.  Our CAF segment consists solely of our own finance operation that provides financing to customers buying retail vehicles from CarMax.
The company operates in two operating segments, CarMax Sales Operations and CAF, both of which are reportable segments. The chief executive officer, who serves as the company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), reviews the performance of our CarMax Sales Operations segment at the gross profit level, the components of which are presented within the consolidated statements of earnings. The CODM uses gross profit to assess financial performance, monitor forecasted versus actual results and adjust pricing strategy. The required segment information related to our CAF segment is presented in Note 3. Additionally, asset information by segment is not utilized for purposes of assessing performance or allocating resources and, as a result, such information has not been presented.
We deliver an unrivaled customer experience by offering a broad selection of quality used vehicles and related products and services at competitive, no-haggle prices using a customer-friendly sales process.  Our omni-channel experience provides a common platform across all of CarMax that leverages our scale, nationwide footprint and infrastructure and empowers our customers to buy a vehicle on their terms, whether online, in-store or through a seamless combination of both. Our associates, stores, technology and digital capabilities seamlessly tied together enable us to provide the most customer-centric car buying and selling experience, a key differentiator in a very large and fragmented market. We offer customers a range of related products and services, including the appraisal and purchase of vehicles directly from consumers and dealers; the financing of retail vehicle purchases through CAF and third-party finance providers; the sale of extended protection plan (“EPP”) products, which include extended service plans (“ESPs”) and guaranteed asset protection (“GAP”); advertising and subscription services; and vehicle repair service.  Vehicles purchased through the appraisal process that do not meet our retail standards are sold to licensed dealers through on-site or virtual wholesale auctions.
Basis of Presentation and Use of Estimates. The accompanying interim unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of CarMax and our wholly owned subsidiaries.  All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.  These interim unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information.  Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements.  In the opinion of management, such interim consolidated financial statements reflect all normal recurring adjustments considered necessary to present fairly the financial position and the results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented.  The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year.  
The accounting policies followed in the presentation of our interim financial results are consistent with those included in the company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2025 (the “2025 Annual Report”), with the exception of those related to recent accounting pronouncements adopted in the current fiscal year. These interim unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and footnotes included in our 2025 Annual Report.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.  Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year’s presentation.  Amounts and percentages may not total due to rounding.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements.
Effective in Future Periods
In July 2025, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued an accounting pronouncement (ASU 2025-05) related to credit losses for accounts receivable and contract assets. The amendments in this update provide a practical expedient permitting an entity to assume that conditions at the balance sheet date remain unchanged over the life of the asset when estimating expected credit losses for current accounts receivable and current contract assets. This update is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2025, including interim periods within those fiscal years, though early adoption is
Page 9


permitted. We plan to adopt this pronouncement for our fiscal year beginning March 1, 2026, and we do not expect it to have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.
In September 2025, the FASB issued an accounting pronouncement (ASU 2025-06) related to accounting for internal-use software costs. The amendments in this update improve the operability of the guidance by removing all references to software development project stages so that the guidance is neutral to different software development methods. This update is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2027, including interim periods within those fiscal years, though early adoption is permitted. We plan to adopt this pronouncement for our fiscal year beginning March 1, 2028. We are currently in the process of evaluating the effects of this pronouncement on our consolidated financial statements.
2. Revenue
We recognize revenue when control of the good or service has been transferred to the customer, generally either at the time of sale or upon delivery to a customer.  Our contracts have a fixed contract price and revenue is measured as the amount of consideration we expect to receive in exchange for transferring goods or providing services. We collect sales taxes and other taxes from customers on behalf of governmental authorities at the time of sale.  These taxes are accounted for on a net basis and are not included in net sales and operating revenues or cost of sales. We generally expense sales commissions when incurred because the amortization period would have been less than one year. These costs are recorded within selling, general and administrative expenses. We do not have any significant payment terms as payment is received at or shortly after the point of sale.

(1)    Excludes intercompany sales and operating revenues that have been eliminated in consolidation.

Used Vehicle Sales. Revenue from the sale of used vehicles is recognized upon transfer of control of the vehicle to the customer. As part of our customer service strategy, we guarantee the retail vehicles we sell with a 10-day money-back guarantee.  We record a reserve for estimated returns based on historical experience and trends. The reserve for estimated returns is presented gross on the consolidated balance sheets, with a return asset recorded in other current assets and a refund liability recorded in accrued expenses and other current liabilities. We also guarantee the used vehicles we sell with a 90-day/4,000-mile limited warranty. These warranties are deemed assurance-type warranties and are accounted for as warranty obligations. See Note 15 for additional information on this warranty and its related obligation.
Wholesale Vehicle Sales. Wholesale vehicles are sold at our auctions, and revenue from the sale of these vehicles is recognized upon transfer of control of the vehicle to the customer. Dealers also pay a fee to us based on the sale price of the vehicles they purchase. This fee is recognized as revenue at the time of sale. While we provide condition disclosures on each wholesale vehicle sold, the vehicles are subject to a limited right of return. We record a reserve for estimated returns based on historical experience and trends. The reserve for estimated returns is presented gross on the consolidated balance sheets, with a return asset recorded in other current assets and a refund liability recorded in accrued expenses and other current liabilities.
EPP Revenues. We also sell ESP and GAP products on behalf of unrelated third parties, who are primarily responsible for fulfilling the contract, to customers who purchase a retail vehicle.  The ESPs we currently offer on all used vehicles provide coverage up to 60 months (subject to mileage limitations), while GAP covers the customer for the term of their finance contract. We recognize revenue, on a net basis, at the time of sale. We also record a reserve, or refund liability, for estimated contract
Page 10


cancellations. The reserve for cancellations is evaluated for each product and is based on forecasted forward cancellation curves utilizing historical experience, recent trends and credit mix of the customer base.  Our risk related to contract cancellations is limited to the revenue that we receive.  Cancellations fluctuate depending on the volume of EPP sales, customer financing default or prepayment rates, and shifts in customer behavior, including those related to changes in the coverage or term of the product.  The current portion of estimated cancellation reserves is recognized as a component of accrued expenses and other current liabilities with the remaining amount recognized in other liabilities.  See Note 7 for additional information on cancellation reserves.
We are contractually entitled to receive profit-sharing revenues based on the performance of the ESPs administered by third parties. These revenues are a form of variable consideration included in EPP revenues to the extent that it is probable that it will not result in a significant revenue reversal. An estimate of the amount to which we expect to be entitled is determined upon satisfying the performance obligation of selling the ESP. This estimate is subject to various constraints; primarily, factors that are outside of the company’s influence or control. We have determined that these constraints generally preclude any profit-sharing revenues from being recognized before they are paid. As of August 31, 2025 and February 28, 2025, no current or long-term contract asset was recognized related to cumulative profit-sharing payments to which we expect to be entitled. The estimate of the amount to which we expect to be entitled is reassessed each reporting period and any changes are reflected in other sales and revenues on our consolidated statements of earnings and other assets on our consolidated balance sheets.
Third-Party Finance (Fees)/Income. Customers applying for financing who are not approved or are conditionally approved by CAF are generally evaluated by other third-party finance providers.  These providers generally either pay us or are paid a fixed, pre-negotiated fee per contract.  We recognize these fees at the time of sale.
Advertising and Subscription Revenues. Advertising and subscription revenues consist of revenues earned by our Edmunds business. Advertising revenues are derived from advertising contracts with automotive manufacturers based on fixed fees per impression and fees for certain activities completed by customers on the manufacturers’ websites. These fees are recognized in the period the impressions are delivered or certain activities occurred. Subscription revenues are derived from packages sold to automotive dealers that include car leads, inventory listings and enhanced placement in Edmunds’ dealer locator and are recognized over the period that the services are made available to the dealers. Subscription revenues also include a digital marketing subscription service, which allows dealers to gain exposure on third party partner websites. Revenues for this service are recognized on a net basis.
Service Revenues. Service revenue consists of labor and parts income related to vehicle repair service, including repairs of vehicles covered under an ESP we sell or warranty program. Service revenue is recognized at the time the work is completed.
Other Revenues. Other revenues include miscellaneous goods and services, which are immaterial to our consolidated financial statements.
3. CarMax Auto Finance
CAF provides financing to qualified retail customers purchasing vehicles from CarMax.  CAF provides us the opportunity to capture additional profits, cash flows and sales while managing our reliance on third-party finance sources.  Management regularly analyzes CAF’s operating results by assessing profitability, the performance of its auto loans, including trends in credit losses and delinquencies, and CAF direct expenses.  The CODM reviews CAF income to assess CAF’s performance and make operating decisions, including resource allocations.
We typically use securitizations or other funding arrangements to fund loans originated by CAF.  Certain pools of loans may be sold in such a way that CAF relinquishes all, or nearly all, of its continuing financial interests in the loans. We classify these loans as held for sale when we have both the intent and ability to sell the loans in an off-balance sheet transaction. Auto loans held for sale include amounts due from customers related to retail vehicles financed through CAF and are assessed on an aggregate basis to determine the lower of amortized cost or fair value. The fair value of the auto loans held for sale is determined using a discounted cash flow model that utilizes various assumptions based on the company's historical experience and current market factors. If the amortized cost exceeds the fair value, a valuation allowance is recorded. No valuation allowance is recorded as of August 31, 2025. See Note 6 for discussion of fair values of financial instruments.
CAF income primarily reflects the interest and fee income generated by auto loans held for investment and auto loans held for sale less the interest expense associated with the debt issued to fund these loans, a provision for estimated loan losses on auto loans held for investment and direct CAF expenses. CAF income does not include any allocation of indirect costs.  Although CAF benefits from certain indirect overhead expenditures, we have not allocated indirect costs to CAF to avoid making subjective allocation decisions.  Examples of indirect costs not allocated to CAF include retail store expenses and corporate
Page 11


expenses.  In addition, except for auto loans held for investment, which are disclosed in Note 4, and auto loans held for sale, CAF assets are not separately reported nor do we allocate assets to CAF because such allocation would not be useful to management in making operating decisions.

4. Auto Loans Held for Investment
Auto loans held for investment include amounts due from customers related to retail vehicle sales financed through CAF and are presented net of an allowance for estimated loan losses.  These auto loans represent a large group of smaller-balance homogeneous loans, which we consider to be part of one class of financing receivable and one portfolio segment for purposes of determining our allowance for loan losses. We generally use warehouse facilities to fund auto loans held for investment originated by CAF until we elect to fund them through an asset-backed term funding transaction, such as a term securitization or alternative funding arrangement.  We recognize transfers of auto loans held for investment into the warehouse facilities and asset-backed term funding transactions (together, “non-recourse funding vehicles”) as secured borrowings, which result in recording the auto loans held for investment and the related non-recourse notes payable on our consolidated balance sheets. The majority of the auto loans held for investment serve as collateral for the related non-recourse notes payable of $17.06 billion as of August 31, 2025, and $17.12 billion as of February 28, 2025. See Note 9 for additional information on securitizations and non-recourse notes payable.
Interest income and expenses related to auto loans held for investment are included in CAF income.  Interest income on auto loans held for investment is recognized when earned based on contractual loan terms.  All loans continue to accrue interest until repayment or charge-off.  When a charge-off occurs, accrued interest is written off by reversing interest income. Due to the timely write-off of accrued interest, we have made the election to exclude accrued interest from our allowance for loan losses. Direct costs associated with loan originations are not considered material, and thus, are expensed as incurred.  See Note 3 for additional information on CAF income.

Credit Quality.  When customers apply for financing, CAF’s proprietary scoring models utilize the customers’ credit history and certain application information to evaluate and rank their risk.  We obtain credit histories and other credit data that includes information such as number, age, type of and payment history for prior or existing credit accounts.  The application information
Page 12


that is used includes income, collateral value and down payment.  The scoring models yield credit grades that represent the relative likelihood of repayment.  Customers with the highest probability of repayment are A-grade customers. Customers assigned a lower grade are determined to have a lower probability of repayment.  For loans that are approved, the credit grade influences the terms of the agreement, such as the required loan-to-value ratio and interest rate. After origination, credit grades are generally not updated.
CAF uses a combination of the initial credit grades and historical performance to monitor the credit quality of the auto loans held for investment on an ongoing basis.  We validate the accuracy of the scoring models periodically.  Loan performance is reviewed on a recurring basis to identify whether the assigned grades adequately reflect the customers’ likelihood of repayment.

Allowance for Loan Losses.  The allowance for loan losses at August 31, 2025 represents the net credit losses expected over the remaining contractual life of our auto loans held for investment. The allowance for loan losses is determined using a net loss timing curve method (“method”), primarily based on the composition of the portfolio of auto loans held for investment and historical gross loss and recovery trends. Due to the fact that losses for loans with less than 18 months of performance history can be volatile, our net loss estimate weights both historical losses by credit grade at origination and actual loss data on the loans to-date, along with forward loss curves, in estimating future performance. Once the loans have 18 months of performance history, the net loss estimate reflects actual loss experience of those loans to-date, along with forward loss curves, to predict future performance. The forward loss curves are constructed using historical performance data and show the average timing of losses over the course of a loan’s life. The net loss estimate is calculated by applying the loss rates developed using the methods described above to the amortized cost basis of the auto loans held for investment at inception of the loan.
Page 13


The output of the method is adjusted to take into account reasonable and supportable forecasts about the future. Specifically, the change in U.S. unemployment rates and the National Automobile Dealers Association used vehicle price index are used to predict changes in gross loss and recovery rates, respectively. An economic adjustment factor, based upon a single macroeconomic scenario, is developed to capture the relationship between changes in these forecasts and changes in gross loss and recovery rates. This factor is applied to the output of the method for the reasonable and supportable forecast period of two years. After the end of this two-year period, we revert to historical experience on a straight-line basis over a period of 12 months. We periodically consider whether the use of alternative metrics would result in improved model performance and revise the models when appropriate. We also consider whether qualitative adjustments are necessary for factors that are not reflected in the quantitative methods but impact the measurement of estimated credit losses. Such adjustments include the uncertainty of the impacts of recent economic trends on customer behavior. The change in the allowance for loan losses is recognized through an adjustment to the provision for loan losses.

During the first six months of fiscal 2026, the allowance for loan losses as a percent of total auto loans held for investment increased by 41 basis points. The increase was primarily driven by unfavorable loan loss performance, particularly within loans originated in 2022 and 2023, when average selling prices were elevated and these customers were later challenged by the inflationary environment. This impact was partially offset by the release of the allowance previously recognized on auto loans held for sale. The allowance for loan losses as of August 31, 2025 reflects our best estimate of expected future losses based on recent trends in delinquencies, loss performance, recovery rates and the economic environment.
Past Due Loans. An account is considered delinquent when the related customer fails to make a substantial portion of a scheduled payment on or before the due date. In general, accounts are charged-off on the last business day of the month during which the earliest of the following occurs: the loan is 120 days or more delinquent as of the last business day of the month, the related vehicle is repossessed and liquidated, or the loan is otherwise deemed uncollectable. For purposes of determining impairment, auto loans are evaluated collectively, as they represent a large group of smaller-balance homogeneous loans, and therefore, are not individually evaluated for impairment.

5. Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
We use derivatives to manage certain risks arising from both our business operations and economic conditions, particularly with regard to issuances of debt.  Primary exposures include SOFR and other rates used as benchmarks in our securitizations and other debt financing.  We enter into derivative instruments to manage exposures related to the future known receipt or payment of uncertain cash amounts, the values of which are impacted by interest rates, and generally designate these derivative instruments as cash flow hedges for accounting purposes.  In certain cases, we may choose not to designate a derivative instrument as a cash flow hedge for accounting purposes due to uncertainty around the probability that future hedged transactions will occur. Our derivative instruments are used to manage (i) differences in the amount of our known or expected cash receipts and our known or expected cash payments principally related to the funding of our auto loans held for investment, and (ii) exposure to variable interest rates associated with our term loan.
For the derivatives associated with our non-recourse funding vehicles that are designated as cash flow hedges, the changes in fair value are initially recorded in accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income (“AOCL”).  For the majority of these derivatives, the amounts are subsequently reclassified into CAF income in the period that the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings, which occurs as interest expense is recognized on those future issuances of debt. During the next 12 months, we estimate that an additional $20.3 million will be reclassified from AOCL as an increase to CAF income. Changes in fair value related to derivatives that have not been designated as cash flow hedges for accounting purposes are recognized in the income statement in the period in which the change occurs. For the three months ended August 31, 2025 and 2024, we recognized expense of $0.5 million and $4.6 million, respectively, in CAF income representing these changes in fair value. For the six months ended August 31, 2025 and 2024, we recognized expense of $1.6 million and $7.7 million, respectively, in CAF income representing these changes in fair value.
As of August 31, 2025 and February 28, 2025, we had interest rate swaps outstanding with a combined notional amount of $4.31 billion and $3.76 billion, respectively, that were designated as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk. As of August 31, 2025, we had no interest rate swaps outstanding that were not designated as cash flow hedges for accounting purposes. As of February 28, 2025, we had interest rate swaps with a combined notional amount of $181.0 million outstanding that were not designated as cash flow hedges for accounting purposes.
See Note 6 for discussion of fair values of financial instruments and Note 12 for the effect on comprehensive income.
6. Fair Value Measurements
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants in the principal market or, if none exists, the most advantageous market, for the specific asset or liability at the measurement date (referred to as the “exit price”).  The fair value should be based on assumptions that market participants would use, including a consideration of nonperformance risk. 
We assess the inputs used to measure fair value using the three-tier hierarchy.  The hierarchy indicates the extent to which inputs used in measuring fair value are observable in the market. 
Level 1    Inputs include unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that we can access at the measurement date.
Page 16


 
Level 2    Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, including quoted prices for similar assets in active markets, quoted prices from identical or similar assets in inactive markets, observable inputs, such as interest rates and yield curves, and assumptions about risk.
 
Level 3    Inputs that are significant to the measurement that are not observable in the market and include management’s judgments about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability (including assumptions about risk).

Our fair value processes include controls that are designed to ensure that fair values are appropriate.  Such controls include model validation, review of key model inputs, analysis of period-over-period fluctuations and reviews by senior management.
Valuation Methodologies 
Money Market Securities.  Money market securities are cash equivalents, which are included in cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash from collections on auto loans held for investment and other assets.  They consist of highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less and are classified as Level 1. 
Mutual Fund Investments.  Mutual fund investments consist of publicly traded mutual funds that primarily include diversified equity investments in large-, mid- and small-cap domestic and international companies or investment grade debt securities.  The investments, which are included in other assets, are held in a rabbi trust established to fund informally our executive deferred compensation plan and are classified as Level 1.
Derivative Instruments.  The fair values of our derivative instruments are included in either other current assets, other assets, accounts payable or other liabilities.  Our derivatives are not exchange-traded and are over-the-counter customized derivative instruments.  All of our derivative exposures are with highly rated bank counterparties.
We measure derivative fair values assuming that the unit of account is an individual derivative instrument and that derivatives are sold or transferred on a stand-alone basis.  We estimate the fair value of our derivatives using quotes determined by the derivative counterparties and third-party valuation services.  Quotes from third-party valuation services and quotes received from bank counterparties project future cash flows and discount the future amounts to a present value using market-based expectations for interest rates and the contractual terms of the derivative instruments.  The models do not require significant judgment and model inputs can typically be observed in a liquid market; however, because the models include inputs other than quoted prices in active markets, all derivatives are classified as Level 2. 
Our derivative fair value measurements consider assumptions about counterparty and our own nonperformance risk.  We monitor counterparty and our own nonperformance risk and, in the event that we determine that a party is unlikely to perform under terms of the contract, we would adjust the derivative fair value to reflect the nonperformance risk.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying value of our cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, other restricted cash deposits and accounts payable approximates fair value due to the short-term nature and/or variable rates associated with these financial instruments. Auto loans held for investment are presented net of an allowance for estimated loan losses, which we believe approximates fair value. We believe that the carrying value of our revolving credit facility and term loan approximates fair value due to the variable rates associated with these obligations.
The fair value of our auto loans held for sale, which are not carried at fair value on our consolidated balance sheets, was determined using Level 2 inputs from the company’s recent term securitization transactions and other available market data. The carrying value and fair value of the auto loans held for sale as of August 31, 2025 and February 28, 2025, respectively, are as follows:

7. Cancellation Reserves
We recognize revenue for EPP products, on a net basis, at the time of sale. We also record a reserve, or refund liability, for estimated contract cancellations.  Cancellations of these services may result from early termination by the customer, or default or prepayment on the finance contract.  The reserve for cancellations is evaluated for each product and is based on forecasted forward cancellation curves utilizing historical experience, recent trends and credit mix of the customer base.

The current portion of estimated cancellation reserves is recognized as a component of accrued expenses and other current liabilities with the remaining amount recognized in other liabilities. As of August 31, 2025 and February 28, 2025, the current portion of cancellation reserves was $72.3 million and $69.8 million, respectively.
8. Income Taxes
We had $20.6 million of gross unrecognized tax benefits as of August 31, 2025, and $18.0 million as of February 28, 2025.  There were no significant changes to the gross unrecognized tax benefits as reported for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2025.
On July 4, 2025, federal legislation commonly referred to as the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”) was enacted in the United States. The OBBBA includes provisions that make 100% bonus depreciation permanent, allows for the expensing of domestic research costs and modifies the business interest expense limitation calculation. These changes were incorporated into our income tax provision for the six months ended August 31, 2025, resulting in an increase in our deferred tax expense, offset by a corresponding decrease in our current tax expense. We do not expect the OBBBA to have a material impact on our fiscal 2026 effective tax rate.

(1)    Interest is payable monthly, with the exception of our senior notes, which are payable semi-annually.
(2)    Borrowings accrue interest at variable rates based on SOFR, the federal funds rate, or the prime rate, depending on the type of borrowing.

Revolving Credit Facility. Borrowings under our $2.00 billion unsecured revolving credit facility (the “credit facility”) are available for working capital and general corporate purposes.  We pay a commitment fee on the unused portions of the available funds. Borrowings under the credit facility are either due “on demand” or at maturity depending on the type of
Page 19


borrowing.  Borrowings with “on demand” repayment terms are presented as short-term debt while amounts due at maturity are presented as long-term debt.  As of August 31, 2025, the unused capacity of $2.00 billion was fully available to us.
Term Loan. Borrowings under the $700 million term loan are available for working capital and general corporate purposes. The interest rate on our term loan was 5.36% as of August 31, 2025. The term loan was classified as long-term debt as no repayments are scheduled to be made within the next 12 months.
Senior Notes. Borrowings under our unsecured senior notes totaling $400 million are available for working capital and general corporate purposes. The 4.17% senior notes mature in April 2026 and were therefore classified as current as of August 31, 2025. The 4.27% senior notes were classified as long-term debt as no repayments are scheduled to be made within the next 12 months.
Financing Obligations.  Financing obligations relate to stores subject to sale-leaseback transactions that do not qualify for sale accounting.  The financing obligations were structured at varying interest rates and generally have initial lease terms ranging from 15 to 20 years with payments made monthly.  We have not entered into any new sale-leaseback transactions since fiscal 2009. In the event the agreements are modified or extended beyond their original term, the related obligation is adjusted based on the present value of the revised future payments, with a corresponding change to the assets subject to these transactions. Upon modification, the amortization of the obligation is reset, resulting in more of the payments being applied to interest expense in the initial years following the modification.  
Non-Recourse Notes Payable.  The non-recourse notes payable relate to auto loans held for investment and auto loans held for sale funded through non-recourse funding vehicles.  The timing of principal payments on the non-recourse notes payable is based on the timing of principal collections and defaults on the related auto loans. The current portion of non-recourse notes payable represents principal payments that are due to be distributed in the following period. 
Notes payable related to our asset-backed term funding transactions accrue interest predominantly at fixed rates and have scheduled maturities through June 2032, but may mature earlier, depending upon the repayment rate of the underlying auto loans.
Information on our funding vehicles of non-recourse notes payable as of August 31, 2025 are as follows:
(In billions)Capacity
Warehouse facilities:
September 2025 expiration$2.30 
March 2026 expiration3.10 
May 2026 expiration0.70 
Combined warehouse facility limit$6.10 
Unused capacity$2.53 
Non-recourse notes payable outstanding:
Warehouse facilities$3.57 
Asset-backed term funding transactions13.49 
Non-recourse notes payable$17.06 

We generally enter into warehouse facility agreements for one-year terms and typically renew the agreements annually. In September 2025, the $2.30 billion facility was increased to $2.55 billion and extended with an expiration date of September 2026. The return requirements of warehouse facility investors could fluctuate significantly depending on market conditions.  At renewal, the cost, structure and capacity of the facilities could change.  These changes could have a significant impact on our funding costs.
See Note 4 for additional information on the related auto loans held for investment.
Capitalized Interest.  We capitalize interest in connection with the construction of certain facilities.  For the six months ended August 31, 2025 and 2024, we capitalized interest of $6.8 million and $3.1 million, respectively. 
Page 20


Financial Covenants.  The credit facility, term loan and senior note agreements contain representations and warranties, conditions and covenants.  We must also meet financial covenants in conjunction with certain financing obligations.  The agreements governing our non-recourse funding vehicles contain representations and warranties, as well as financial covenants and performance triggers related to events of default.  As of August 31, 2025, we were in compliance with these financial covenants and our non-recourse funding vehicles were in compliance with these performance triggers.

11. Net Earnings Per Share
Basic net earnings per share is computed by dividing net earnings available for basic common shares by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding.  Diluted net earnings per share is computed by dividing net earnings available for diluted common shares by the sum of weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding and dilutive potential common stock.  Diluted net earnings per share is calculated using the “if-converted” treasury stock method.

13. Leases
Our leases primarily consist of operating and finance leases related to retail stores, office space, land and equipment. We also have stores subject to sale-leaseback transactions that do not qualify for sale accounting and are accounted for as financing obligations. For more information on these financing obligations see Note 9.
Page 23


The initial term for real property leases is typically 5 to 20 years. For equipment leases, the initial term generally ranges from 3 to 8 years. Most leases include one or more options to renew, with renewal terms that can extend the lease term from 1 to 20 years or more. We include options to renew (or terminate) in our lease term, and as part of our right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and lease liabilities, when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option.
ROU assets and the related lease liabilities are initially measured at the present value of future lease payments over the lease term. As most of our leases do not provide an implicit rate, we use our collateralized incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the commencement date in determining the present value of future payments. We include variable lease payments in the initial measurement of ROU assets and lease liabilities only to the extent they depend on an index or rate. Changes in such indices or rates are accounted for in the period the change occurs, and do not result in the remeasurement of the ROU asset or liability. We are also responsible for payment of certain real estate taxes, insurance and other expenses on our leases. These amounts are generally considered to be variable and are not included in the measurement of the ROU asset and lease liability. We generally account for non-lease components, such as maintenance, separately from lease components. For certain equipment leases, we apply a portfolio approach to account for the lease assets and liabilities.
Our lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants. Leases with a term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet; we recognize lease expense for these leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

15. Contingent Liabilities
Litigation The company is a class member in a consolidated and settled class action lawsuit (In re: Takata Airbag Product Liability Litigation (U.S. District Court, Southern District of Florida)) against Toyota, Mazda, Subaru, BMW, Honda, Nissan, Ford and Volkswagen related to the economic loss associated with defective Takata airbags installed as original equipment in certain model vehicles from model years 2000-2019. In April 2020, CarMax received $40.3 million in net recoveries from the Toyota, Mazda, Subaru, BMW, Honda and Nissan settlement funds. In January 2022, CarMax received $3.8 million in net recoveries from the Ford settlement funds. On April 21, 2023, CarMax received $59.3 million in net recoveries from residual undisbursed funds in the Toyota, Mazda, Subaru, BMW, Honda and Nissan settlements. On August 9, 2023, CarMax received $7.9 million in additional residual funds in the BMW, Mazda, and Nissan settlements. CarMax remains a class member for residual funds in the Ford settlement. The Volkswagen settlement has not yet been resolved. We are unable to make a reasonable estimate of the amount or range of gain that could result from CarMax’s participation in the Ford residual or Volkswagen matters.
We are involved in various other legal proceedings in the normal course of business. Based upon our evaluation of information currently available, we believe that the ultimate resolution of any such proceedings will not have a material adverse effect, either individually or in the aggregate, on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
Other Matters.  In accordance with the terms of real estate lease agreements, we generally agree to indemnify the lessor from certain liabilities arising as a result of the use of the leased premises, including environmental liabilities and repairs to leased property upon termination of the lease.  Additionally, in accordance with the terms of agreements entered into for the sale of properties, we generally agree to indemnify the buyer from certain liabilities and costs arising subsequent to the date of the sale, including environmental liabilities and liabilities resulting from the breach of representations or warranties made in accordance with the agreements.  We do not have any known material environmental commitments, contingencies or other indemnification issues arising from these arrangements.
As part of our customer service strategy, we guarantee the used vehicles we retail with a 90-day/4,000 mile limited warranty.  A vehicle in need of repair within this period will be repaired free of charge.  As a result, each vehicle sold has an implied liability associated with it.  Accordingly, based on historical trends, we record a provision for estimated future repairs during the guarantee period for each vehicle sold.  The liability for this guarantee was $30.3 million as of August 31, 2025, and $28.8 million as of February 28, 2025, and is included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities.
16. Subsequent Event
On September 24, 2025, we executed a non-prime securitization transaction. The structure of the transaction resulted in CarMax recognizing the sale of approximately $930 million of auto loans, inclusive of accrued interest, in exchange for consideration in the form of cash and beneficial interests. The beneficial interests represent the 5% interest in the rated notes and residual certificate that we retained as the sponsor of the transaction. CarMax expects to recognize a gain on sale of approximately $25 million to $30 million from the transaction, net of transaction expenses, in the third quarter of fiscal 2026. Subsequent to this transaction, the sold auto loans will no longer be recognized on the CarMax consolidated balance sheets. As servicer, CAF will continue to be responsible for managing collections and performing other servicing activities for the sold auto loans and will earn servicing income as compensation for these activities.

ITEM 2.
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (“MD&A”) is provided as a supplement to, and should be read in conjunction with, our audited consolidated financial statements, the accompanying notes and the MD&A included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2025 (“fiscal 2025”), as well as our unaudited interim consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes included in Item 1 of this Form 10-Q.  Note references are to the notes to unaudited interim consolidated financial statements included in Item 1.  All references to net earnings per share are to diluted net earnings per share.  Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year’s presentation.  Amounts and percentages may not total due to rounding.
OVERVIEW
CarMax is the nation’s largest retailer of used vehicles.  We operate in two reportable segments:  CarMax Sales Operations and CarMax Auto Finance (“CAF”).  Our CarMax Sales Operations segment consists of all aspects of our auto merchandising and service operations, excluding financing provided by CAF.  Our CAF segment consists solely of our own finance operation that provides financing to customers buying retail vehicles from CarMax.
CarMax Sales Operations
Our sales operations segment consists of retail sales of used vehicles and related products and services, such as wholesale vehicle sales; the sale of extended protection plan (“EPP”) products, which include extended service plans (“ESPs”) and guaranteed asset protection (“GAP”); advertising and subscription revenues; and vehicle repair service. We offer competitive, no-haggle prices; a broad selection of CarMax Quality Certified used vehicles; value-added EPP products; and superior customer service. Our omni-channel experience provides a common platform across all of CarMax that leverages our scale, nationwide footprint and infrastructure and empowers our customers to buy a vehicle on their terms, whether online, in-store or through a seamless combination of both. Our associates, stores, technology and digital capabilities seamlessly tied together enable us to provide the most customer-centric car buying and selling experience, a key differentiator in a very large and fragmented market.
Our customers finance the majority of the retail vehicles purchased from us, and availability of on-the-spot financing is a critical component of the sales process.  We provide financing to qualified retail customers through CAF and our arrangements with industry-leading third-party finance providers.  All of the finance offers, whether by CAF or our third-party providers, are backed by a 3-day payoff option.
CarMax Auto Finance
In addition to third-party finance providers, we provide vehicle financing through CAF, which offers financing solely to customers buying retail vehicles from CarMax.  CAF allows us to manage our reliance on third-party finance providers and to leverage knowledge of our business to provide qualifying customers a competitive financing option.  As a result, we believe CAF enables us to capture additional profits, cash flows and sales.  CAF income primarily reflects the interest and fee income generated by the auto loans held for investment and auto loans held for sale less the interest expense associated with the debt issued to fund these loans, a provision for estimated loan losses on loans held for investment and direct expenses.  CAF income does not include any allocation of indirect costs.  After the effect of 3-day payoffs and vehicle returns, CAF financed 42.1% of our retail used vehicle unit sales in the first six months of fiscal 2026.  As of August 31, 2025, CAF serviced approximately 1.1 million customer accounts in its $17.69 billion portfolio of auto loans.
Management regularly analyzes CAF’s operating results by assessing the competitiveness of our consumer offer, profitability, the performance of its auto loans, including trends in credit losses and delinquencies, and CAF direct expenses.

Liquidity
Our primary ongoing sources of liquidity include funds provided by operations, proceeds from non-recourse funding vehicles and borrowings under our revolving credit facility or through other financing sources. In addition to funding our operations, this liquidity has been used to fund our capital expenditures and the repurchase of common stock under our share repurchase program.
Our current capital allocation strategy is to focus on our core business including investing in digital capabilities and the strategic expansion of our store and capacity footprint, pursue CAF’s expansion into the full credit spectrum, pursue new growth opportunities through investments, partnerships and acquisitions and return excess capital to shareholders. For fiscal 2026, we have and intend to continue to accelerate the pace of our share repurchases as compared to the prior year. We may increase this pace based on valuation and cash flow dynamics, as well as macroeconomic conditions, as we did in the first half of fiscal 2026. We believe we have the appropriate liquidity, access to capital and financial strength to support our operations and continue investing in our business for the next 12 months and thereafter for the foreseeable future.
Strategic Update and Future Outlook
Our omni-channel experience provides a common platform across all of CarMax that leverages our scale, nationwide footprint and infrastructure and empowers our customers to buy a vehicle on their terms, whether online, in-store or through a seamless combination of both experiences. While we expect our online and omni sales to grow over time, our goal is to provide the best experience whether in-store, online or a combination of the two. As a result, online, omni and in-person sales can vary from quarter to quarter depending on consumer preferences and how they choose to interact with us. We believe consumers in the used car industry will increasingly prefer optionality that seamlessly connects digital and physical experiences.
We believe that our diversified business model, combined with our exceptional associates, stores, technology and digital capabilities seamlessly tied together, 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. According to Cox Automotive research, as well as our own, the majority of customers shopping for used cars intend to transact via an omni experience. Our net promoter score is the highest it has been since we rolled out our digital capabilities nationwide, driven by record-high satisfaction among customers purchasing online as well as those using our omni-channel experience. In fiscal 2026, we plan to leverage and enhance our capabilities to drive growth through better execution, innovative efforts and upleveled experiences. Examples of our initiatives for fiscal 2026 include the following:
For retail, we plan to continue leveraging data science and AI to offer even better digital experiences for associates and consumers, driving conversion and efficiency. We plan to improve our online vehicle transfer experience and expand the functionality of Skye, our AI-powered virtual assistant, with additional data and new architecture. We recently completed the full roll-out of Skye 2.0, which leverages agentic AI, and we expect this release will drive even more efficiency and experience improvements.
We recently launched our new “Wanna Drive” brand positioning campaign, which brings our best-in-class omni-channel experience to life and emphasizes that our customers are empowered to buy their way, with clarity, confidence and control.
For supply, we plan to continue to streamline the online appraisal checkout process, expand appraisal pick-up availability to new markets and further enhance MaxOffer to attract new dealers, expanding our access to directly sourced vehicles.
For credit, we plan to continue expanding CAF’s participation across the credit spectrum to grow penetration and capture profitable returns. As part of that strategy, we plan to execute the programmatic sale of the financial interest in a non-prime securitization once per year, the first of which was completed in September 2025. We expect this additional funding lever, as well as other off-balance sheet funding vehicles under consideration, will provide us with significant flexibility and allow us to mitigate risk while focusing on our growth plan. Additionally, we plan to modernize the ownership experience on CAF’s digital platform, which is expected to enhance the customer experience and drive operating efficiencies.

Page 29


We are also focused on driving down our cost of sales by pursuing incremental efficiency opportunities that we have identified across our logistics network and reconditioning operations. We achieved savings of approximately $125 per unit in fiscal 2025 and anticipate that we will achieve another $125 per unit in fiscal 2026. These efficiencies support affordability as we pass savings on to our customers and also support our margins.
While SG&A as a percent of gross profit can fluctuate from quarter to quarter depending on variability in gross profit and the timing of SG&A spending, our initial goal on the path to strengthening our SG&A to gross profit leverage over time is to achieve a rate in the mid-70% range on an annual basis. Achieving this annual rate will require continued efficiency gains in our operating model, gross profit growth and healthier consumer demand. In fiscal 2026, we expect to require low-single-digit gross profit growth to lever SG&A. This will be supported by our goal of becoming omni cost neutral for the first time for the full year of fiscal 2026. Omni-channel costs include commissions and the cost of operating our Customer Experience Centers (“CECs”). We expect our omni-channel costs per used unit, per total unit and as a percentage of gross profit for the full year of fiscal 2026 to be more efficient than before our omni-channel roll-out.
We also plan to accelerate our pace of SG&A expense reduction. Our goal of at least $150 million in SG&A expense reductions over the next 18 months represents a material improvement in our cost profile and reflects the execution of a plan that we have been developing with outside support. While we plan to realize some of these savings in fiscal 2026, we expect the vast majority will be realized in our exit rate by the end of fiscal 2027. In addition to offsetting inflationary pressures, these ongoing savings will provide additional flexibility to reinvest in areas that directly drive sales, while also serving as a tailwind to our already robust earnings model, as discussed below.
For the second quarter of fiscal 2026, we were more efficient compared to both before our omni-channel roll-out and the prior year across all three metrics noted above. A key driver of these efficiency gains has been our strategic deployment of AI technology. For example, Skye continued to deliver year-over-year improvements, with containment rate, CEC consultant productivity and phone and web response rate metrics all improving by double digits. We believe there are significant opportunities to continue expanding AI applications across our business to drive both top-line growth and operational excellence.
Our earnings model is designed to deliver an earnings per share compound annual growth rate (“CAGR”) in the high teens when used unit growth is in the mid-single digits. This earnings growth will be driven primarily by used and wholesale unit growth, strength in other gross profit, CAF’s credit spectrum expansion, continued operational efficiencies, ongoing SG&A leverage and our share repurchase program.
In calendar 2024, we estimate we sold approximately 3.7% of the age 0- to 10-year old vehicles sold on a nationwide basis, consistent with calendar 2023. We expect to gain market share in calendar 2025. Our strategy to increase our market share includes focusing on:
Delivering a customer-driven, omni-channel buying and selling experience that is a unique and powerful seamless integration of our in-store and online capabilities.
Utilizing advertising to drive customer growth, educate customers about our omni-channel platform and to differentiate and elevate our brand.
Hiring, developing and retaining an engaged and skilled workforce.
Leveraging data and advanced analytics to continuously improve the customer experience as well as our processes and systems.
Improving efficiency in our stores and CECs as well as our logistics and reconditioning operations to reduce waste.
Opening stores in new markets and expanding our presence in existing markets.
Becoming the leading retailer of used EVs in the market.
As of August 31, 2025, we operated 253 used car stores located in 109 U.S. television markets, which covered approximately 85% of the U.S. population.  The format and operating models utilized in our stores are continuously evaluated and may change or evolve over time based upon market and consumer expectations. During the first six months of fiscal 2026, we opened three stores located in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, El Cajon, California and Hagerstown, Maryland. In addition, we opened three stand-alone reconditioning/auction centers located in El Mirage, Arizona, supporting the Phoenix metro market, Midlothian, Texas, supporting the Dallas metro market, and New Kent, Virginia, supporting the Richmond metro market. During the remainder of the fiscal year, we plan to open three additional stores and one additional stand-alone reconditioning/auction facility. We are utilizing our stand-alone reconditioning and auction locations to balance capacity and drive efficiencies across the network.

During the first six months of fiscal 2026, we opened three stores in existing television markets (Tuscaloosa, AL; El Cajon, CA; and Hagerstown, MD).

Used Vehicle Sales.  The 7.2% decrease in used vehicle revenues in the second quarter of fiscal 2026 was driven by a 5.4% decrease in used unit sales as well as a 1.0% decrease in average retail selling price, or approximately $250. The decrease in used units included a 6.3% decrease in comparable store used unit sales. Pressured performance across our inventory aged 0-5 years was partially offset by increased sales of older, higher mileage vehicles. In response to the increase in sales volume in March and April due to tariff speculation, we ramped up inventory ahead of the second quarter in support of this growth. During the back half of May and through the end of June, we saw approximately $1,000 in depreciation across our inventory, which negatively impacted our price competitiveness and sales. In response, we lowered our used margin in the second quarter to drive the sell-through of inventory. As a result, price competitiveness has improved and we believe we are better positioned for the third quarter. In addition, we believe our second quarter sales were negatively impacted by a pull forward of demand into the first quarter in response to speculation about tariffs. The 0.2% increase in used vehicle revenues in the first six months of fiscal 2026 was driven by a 1.8% increase in used unit sales, partially offset by a 1.2% decrease in average retail selling price, or approximately $300. The increase in used units included a 0.9% increase in comparable store used unit sales. Comparable store used unit sales for September are currently stronger than our second quarter results but down slightly year-over-year.
The decrease in average retail selling price in the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2026 primarily reflected shifts in the mix of our sales by vehicle age and class, partially offset by an increase in vehicle acquisition costs.
Page 32


Wholesale Vehicle Sales. Vehicles sold at our wholesale auctions are, on average, more than 10 years old with more than 100,000 miles and are primarily comprised of vehicles purchased through our appraisal process that do not meet our retail standards. Our wholesale auction prices usually reflect trends in the general wholesale market for the types of vehicles we sell, although they can also be affected by changes in vehicle mix or the average age, mileage or condition of the vehicles being sold.
The 0.4% decrease in wholesale vehicle revenues in the second quarter of fiscal 2026 was driven by a 2.2% decrease in unit sales, partially offset by a 1.6% increase in average selling price, or approximately $125. During the second quarter of fiscal 2026, wholesale unit sales were impacted by our decision to lower buys in order to balance our inventory with sales. We are no longer intentionally lowering buys and anticipate year-over-year improvement for the third quarter of fiscal 2026. For the first six months of fiscal 2026, wholesale vehicle revenues decreased 0.4%, driven by a 0.5% decrease in unit sales.
The increase in average selling price during the second quarter of fiscal 2026 was primarily due to increased acquisition costs.
Other Sales and Revenues.  Other sales and revenues include revenue from the sale of ESPs and GAP (collectively reported in EPP revenues, net of a reserve for estimated contract cancellations), net third-party finance (fees)/income, advertising and subscription revenues earned by our Edmunds business, and other revenues, which are predominantly comprised of service department sales. The fees we pay to the Tier 3 providers are reflected as an offset to finance fee revenues received from the Tier 2 providers. The mix of our retail vehicles financed by CAF, Tier 2 and Tier 3 providers, or customers that arrange their own financing, may vary from quarter to quarter depending on several factors, including the credit quality of applicants, changes in providers’ credit decisioning and external market conditions. Changes in originations by one tier of credit providers may also affect the originations made by providers in other tiers.
Other sales and revenues decreased 4.2% in the second quarter of fiscal 2026, reflecting a 5.2% decrease in EPP revenues. The decrease in EPP revenues was driven by the decline in retail unit sales. For the first six months of fiscal 2026, other sales and revenues increased 0.9%, reflecting a 2.7% increase in EPP revenues. The increase in EPP revenues reflected favorable reserve adjustments and increased margins, partially offset by decreased penetration.

Used Vehicle Gross Profit.  We target a dollar range of gross profit per used unit sold.  The gross profit dollar target for an individual vehicle is based on a variety of factors, including its probability of sale and its mileage relative to its age; however, it is not primarily based on the vehicle’s selling price.  Our ability to quickly adjust appraisal offers to be consistent with trends in the broader trade-in market and the pace of our inventory turns reduce our exposure to the inherent continual fluctuation in used vehicle values and contribute to our ability to manage gross profit dollars per unit. Gross profit per used unit is consistent across our omni-channel platform.
We systematically adjust individual vehicle prices based on proprietary pricing algorithms in order to appropriately balance sales trends, inventory turns and gross profit achievement.  Other factors that may influence gross profit include the wholesale and retail vehicle pricing environments, vehicle reconditioning and logistics costs, and the percentage of vehicles sourced directly from consumers and dealers through our appraisal process.  Vehicles purchased directly from consumers and dealers generally have a lower cost per unit compared with vehicles purchased at auction or through other channels, which may generate more gross profit per unit. In any given period, our gross profit may also be impacted by the age mix of vehicles sold, as older vehicles are generally more profitable. We monitor macroeconomic factors and pricing elasticity and adjust our pricing accordingly to optimize unit sales and profitability while also maintaining competitively priced inventory.
Used vehicle gross profit decreased 7.6% in the second quarter of fiscal 2026, primarily driven by the 5.4% decrease in total used unit sales and a $53 decrease in used vehicle gross profit per unit. While used vehicle gross profit per unit was relatively in line with the prior year period, it was down approximately $200 from the first quarter of fiscal 2026. As noted above, we intentionally lowered retail margin in the second quarter to drive the sell-through of inventory in response to depreciation, negatively impacting our used vehicle gross profit per unit. Used vehicle gross profit increased 2.3% in the first six months of fiscal 2026, primarily driven by the 1.8% increase in total used unit sales and a $10 increase in used vehicle gross profit per unit. For the third quarter of fiscal 2026, we expect used vehicle gross profit per unit to be consistent with our historical average but down from the record high in the prior year. We continue to focus on striking the right balance between managing changes in vehicle costs, maintaining margin and passing along efficiencies to consumers to support vehicle affordability.
Wholesale Vehicle Gross Profit.  Our wholesale gross profit per unit reflects the demand for older, higher mileage vehicles, which are the mainstay of our auctions, as well as strong dealer attendance and resulting high dealer-to-car ratios at our auctions.  The frequency of our auctions, which are generally held weekly or bi-weekly, minimizes the depreciation risk on these vehicles.  Our ability to adjust appraisal offers in response to the wholesale pricing environment is a key factor that influences wholesale gross profit.
Wholesale vehicle gross profit decreased 0.4% in the second quarter of fiscal 2026, driven by a 2.2% decrease in wholesale unit sales, partially offset by an $18 increase in wholesale vehicle gross profit per unit. Wholesale vehicle gross profit decreased 0.4% in the first six months of fiscal 2026, driven by a 0.5% decrease in wholesale unit sales. Wholesale vehicle gross profit per unit for the first six months was in line with the prior year period. For the third quarter of fiscal 2026, we expect wholesale vehicle gross profit per unit to be consistent with our historical average but down from the prior year, which was historically strong.
Other Gross Profit.  Other gross profit includes profits related to EPP revenues, net third-party finance (fees)/income, advertising and subscription profits earned by our Edmunds business, and other revenues. Other revenues are predominantly comprised of service department operations, including used vehicle reconditioning.  We have no cost of sales related to EPP revenues or net third-party finance (fees)/income, as these represent revenues paid to us by certain third-party providers.  Third-party finance income is reported net of the fees we pay to third-party Tier 3 finance providers.  Accordingly, changes in the relative mix of the components of other gross profit can affect the composition and amount of other gross profit.
Other gross profit decreased 4.2% in the second quarter of fiscal 2026, primarily driven by the decline in EPP revenues, as discussed above. Other gross profit increased 13.2% in the first six months of fiscal 2026, primarily driven by increases in service department margins as well as EPP revenues, as discussed above. The increase in service department margins was driven by cost coverage measures that we have implemented, the increase in used unit sales and increased efficiencies. In fiscal 2026, we are testing EPP product enhancements that will focus on increasing penetration and margin per unit. We expect this will result in a slight year-over-year increase in EPP margin per unit during fiscal 2026, with the potential for more expansion in fiscal 2027. In addition, we expect service margin to face pressure in the back half of fiscal 2026 due to seasonal sales volumes. We continue to expect to deliver a positive profit contribution for the full fiscal year, as governed by sales performance given the leverage/deleverage nature of service. We expect service will continue to serve as a slight profit lever beyond fiscal 2026.

SG&A expenses decreased $9.5 million, or 1.6%, in the second quarter of fiscal 2026, primarily driven by a $9.7 million decrease in share-based compensation expense. This decrease was primarily related to cash-settled restricted stock units, as the expense associated with these units was primarily driven by the change in the company's stock price during the relevant periods. The continued realization of expense efficiencies were offset by cost pressures during the quarter.

SG&A expenses increased $11.6 million, or 0.9%, in the first six months of fiscal 2026. The increase was driven by a $23.0 million increase in compensation and benefits, excluding share-based compensation expense, primarily due to costs related to unit volume growth as well as cost pressures. This increase was partially offset by an $11.2 million decrease in share-based compensation expense primarily related to cash-settled restricted stock units, as the expense associated with these units was primarily driven by the change in the company's stock price during the relevant periods.

SG&A deleveraged by 350 basis points during the second quarter of fiscal 2026, driven by the decline in gross profit. SG&A leveraged by 230 basis points during the first six months of fiscal 2026, driven by the growth in gross profit and ongoing cost management efforts in the stores and CECs.

For the remainder fiscal 2026, we expect an increase in marketing spend on a per total unit basis, particularly in the third quarter, as we support our new brand positioning launch. We expect that marketing spend on a per total unit basis for the full year of fiscal 2026 will be in line with, or slightly above, fiscal 2025.
Interest Expense.  Interest expense includes the interest related to short- and long-term debt, financing obligations and finance lease obligations.  It does not include interest on the non-recourse notes payable, which is reflected within CAF income.
Interest expense of $28.5 million and $55.5 million in the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2026, respectively, was relatively consistent with $27.0 million and $58.4 million in the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2025, respectively.
Other Income. Other income of $3.6 million and $3.9 million in the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2026, respectively, was relatively consistent with $3.3 million and $2.9 million in the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2025, respectively.
Income Taxes.  The effective income tax rate was 25.0% in the second quarter of fiscal 2026 and 25.5% in the first six months of fiscal 2026 versus 25.3% in the second quarter of fiscal 2025 and 25.8% in the first six months of fiscal 2025.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS – CARMAX AUTO FINANCE
CAF income primarily reflects interest and fee income generated by auto loans held for investment and auto loans held for sale less the interest expense associated with the debt issued to fund these loans, a provision for estimated loan losses on loans held for investment and direct CAF expenses. Total interest margin reflects the spread between interest and fees charged to consumers and our funding costs. Changes in the interest margin on new originations generally affect CAF income over time. Increases in interest rates, which affect CAF’s funding costs, competitive pressures on rates charged to customers or reducing higher risk accounts in our origination strategy, could result in compression in the interest margin on new originations.
The provision for loan losses reflects changes in the allowance for loan losses. Changes to the allowance are primarily driven by loss and delinquency experience, economic factors on our outlook for net losses expected to occur over the remaining contractual life of the loans held for investment as well as changes in the mix of credit quality of originations.
CAF’s portfolio is composed primarily of auto loans originated over the past several years.  Trends in auto loan growth and interest margins primarily reflect the cumulative effect of changes in the business over a multi-year period. Current period originations reflect current trends in both our retail sales and the CAF business, including the volume and credit mix of loans originated, current interest rates charged to consumers and loan terms.  Loans originated in a given fiscal period generally impact CAF income over time, as we recognize income over the life of the underlying auto loan or upon sale of the loan.
We typically use securitizations or other funding arrangements to fund loans originated by CAF.  Certain pools of loans may be sold in such a way that CAF relinquishes all, or nearly all, of its continuing financial interests in the loans. These loans are classified as held for sale on our consolidated balance sheet. As of August 31, 2025, we have identified $921.9 million of auto loans from our non-prime portfolio as held for sale, a portion of which were originated prior to fiscal 2026. This loan pool is intended to be fully sold off our balance sheet as a part of a non-prime securitization transaction. In the period in which the securitization transaction closes, CAF will record any gain realized by selling the residual interest in the loans. In addition, the risk of any financial impact from this loan pool due to future deterioration is removed once sold. We expect this additional funding lever, as well as other off-balance sheet funding vehicles under consideration, will provide us with significant flexibility and allow us to mitigate risk while focusing on our growth plan.
On September 24, 2025, we executed the non-prime securitization transaction, as discussed above. This was upsized to $900 million in total notes and for the first time included the sale of most of the residual financial interest in the transaction to third party investors, thus resulting in off-balance sheet treatment. We expect to recognize a gain on sale of approximately $25 million to $30 million from the transaction, net of transaction expenses, in the third quarter of fiscal 2026. We also expect to receive approximately $40 million to $45 million in additional CAF income related to servicing fees and the retained beneficial interest over the life of the transaction. There will be no loss allowance or provision for this pool of loans.
During fiscal 2025, CAF began testing its new full-spectrum credit scoring models and corresponding strategies across the Tier 1, Tier 2 and Tier 3 spaces. During the first half of fiscal 2026, CAF began a measured expansion by recapturing profitable portions of Tier 1 originations that we had shifted to our Tier 2 lenders as we tightened lending standards as well as testing expanded lending in the top half of the Tier 2 space. We expect this expansion will grow our penetration by 100 to 200 basis points in the near-term, which is enabled by our non-prime securitization program, allowing us to efficiently fund these non-prime loans. The full realization of this growth may be impacted by non-controllable factors such as customer credit mix and
Page 36


partner lender behavior. This is a first step on the path towards our initial goal of increasing CAF penetration to 50%. We continue to learn from our new underwriting models and corresponding tests currently in place and anticipate capturing additional volume beyond Tier 1 during the back half of fiscal 2026. We will continue to monitor consumer behavior and the broader economy and will adjust our origination strategy as needed. We would expect each additional percentage point of CAF penetration to generate $10 million to $12 million in lifetime pre-tax income per year of origination, net of the impact to finance partner participation fees. Our pre-tax income expectations will be impacted by the volume of loans originated, interest rates charged to customers, loan terms, loss rates, average credit scores, funding strategy, loan sales and the broader macroeconomic and lending environments. We believe our unique finance platform with a full-spectrum in-house lending operation, coupled with a robust network of partner lenders, will strengthen our competitive advantage.
Historically, CAF has originated a small portion of auto loans to customers who typically would be financed by our Tier 2 and Tier 3 finance providers, in order to better understand the performance of these loans, mitigate risk and add incremental profits. The targeted percentage of Tier 2 and Tier 3 originations has fluctuated over the past several years. With the testing of the new full-spectrum credit scoring models, we intend to continue our investment in this space, but remain within the target of originating less than 15% and 5% of the total Tier 2 and Tier 3 loan volume, respectively. Any future adjustments in Tier 2 and Tier 3 will consider the broader lending environment, which includes funding availability, along with the long-term sustainability of the change. These loans have higher loss and delinquency rates than the remainder of the CAF portfolio, as well as higher contract rates.
CAF income does not include any allocation of indirect costs.  Although CAF benefits from certain indirect overhead expenditures, we have not allocated indirect costs to CAF to avoid making subjective allocation decisions.  Examples of indirect costs not allocated to CAF include retail store expenses and corporate expenses.
See Note 3 for additional information on CAF income and Note 4 for information on auto loans held for investment, including credit quality.

CAF Income (Decreases of $12.9 million, or 11.2%, and $18.3 million, or 7.0%, in the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2026, respectively)
The decrease in CAF income for both the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2026 reflects an increase in the provision for loan losses, partially offset by an increase in the interest margin percentage.
For fiscal 2026, we expect CAF income to be down slightly year-over-year.
Total Interest Margin (Increased to 6.6% and 6.5% in the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2026, respectively, from 6.1% in both the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2025)
The increase in total interest margin for both the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2026 was driven by higher customer rates, partially offset by higher funding costs.

Page 38


Provision for Loan Losses
The provision for loan losses resulted in expense of $142.2 million and $243.9 million in the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2026, respectively, compared with expense of $112.6 million and $193.8 million in the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2025, respectively.
The provision for loan losses for the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2026 consisted of $70.9 million and $135.0 million, respectively, representing our estimate of lifetime losses on new originations for the respective period, while the remaining $71.3 million and $108.9 million, respectively, represented the adjustment to our loss expectations on existing originations.
The increase in the provision for loan losses for both periods was primarily driven by unfavorable loss performance, primarily within loans originated in 2022 and 2023, when average selling prices were elevated and these customers were later challenged by the inflationary environment. As a result of the previously disclosed tightening of CAF's underwriting standards, loans originated after April 2024 are performing in line with expectations.
There was also a reduction in the provision in the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2026 due to the release of $15.7 million and $42.2 million, respectively, for the allowance previously recorded for loans that are now classified as held for sale.
For the third quarter of fiscal 2026, we expect the provision for loan losses to be less than $100 million. This estimate could be impacted by the volume of loans originated, the credit mix of originations and the broader macroeconomic and lending environments.
The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of auto loans held for investment was 3.02% as of August 31, 2025, compared with 2.82% as of August 31, 2024 and 2.61% as of February 28, 2025. The allowance percentage increased from February primarily due to unfavorable loss performance, partially offset by the release of a portion of the allowance previously recognized on auto loans held for sale.
Loan Performance
The decrease in net loan originations in the second quarter of fiscal 2026 primarily resulted from a decrease in used unit sales. The decrease in net loan originations in the first six months of fiscal 2026 resulted from decreases in the average amount financed and net penetration rate, partially offset by an increase in used unit sales.
CAF net penetration increased 60 basis points in the second quarter of fiscal 2026 and decreased 50 basis points in the first six months of fiscal 2026. During the first half of fiscal 2026, we made underwriting adjustments that translated to approximately 100 to 200 basis points of growth, but the full realization of this growth was impacted by non-controllable factors such as customer credit mix and partner lender behavior. We believe the pull forward of sales into the first quarter in response to speculation about tariffs negatively impacted CAF's share during the early part of the second quarter of fiscal 2026, resulting in a more modest increase in penetration.

PLANNED FUTURE ACTIVITIES
During the first six months of fiscal 2026, we opened three new stores and three stand-alone reconditioning/auction centers. For the remainder of fiscal 2026, we anticipate opening three additional store locations and one additional stand-alone reconditioning/auction center. We currently estimate capital expenditures will total approximately $575 million in fiscal 2026. Capital expenditures were $467.9 million in fiscal 2025. Planned capital spending in fiscal 2026 largely consists of spending to support our future long-term growth in offsite reconditioning and auction facilities, as well as our new stores.
FINANCIAL CONDITION 
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our primary ongoing cash requirements are to fund our existing operations, store and capacity expansion, store improvement, CAF, strategic growth initiatives and our share repurchase program. Our primary ongoing sources of liquidity include funds provided by operations, proceeds from non-recourse funding vehicles and borrowings under our revolving credit facility or through other financing sources.
Our current capital allocation strategy is to focus on our core business including investing in digital capabilities and the strategic expansion of our store and capacity footprint, pursue CAF’s expansion into the full credit spectrum, pursue new growth opportunities through investments, partnerships and acquisitions and return excess capital to shareholders. For fiscal 2026, we have and intend to continue to accelerate the pace of our share repurchases as compared to the prior year. We may increase this pace based on valuation and cash flow dynamics, as well as macroeconomic conditions, as we did in the first half of fiscal 2026. We believe we have the appropriate liquidity, access to capital and financial strength to support our operations and continue investing in our business for the next 12 months and thereafter for the foreseeable future.
Page 39


We have historically managed leverage based on a number of factors, including internal financial forecasts, consideration of CAF’s operational and capital needs, external peer benchmarking, requirements of our debt agreements and macroeconomic conditions. Generally, we expect to use our revolving credit facility and other financing sources, together with stock repurchases, to maintain a leverage profile that ensures operating flexibility while supporting continued investment in the business.
Operating Activities.  During the first six months of fiscal 2026, net cash provided by operating activities totaled $1.09 billion compared with $501.4 million in the prior year period.
As of August 31, 2025, total inventory was $3.15 billion, representing a decrease of $785.1 million compared with the balance as of the start of the fiscal year.  The decrease was primarily driven by a decrease in volume due to a strategic reduction of inventory in response to lower consumer demand. Given the acceleration in sales we experienced in the first quarter of fiscal 2026, we ramped up our inventory ahead of the second quarter in support of growth. During the back half of May and through the end of June, we saw approximately $1,000 in depreciation across our inventory. In response, during the second quarter, we lowered retail margin and intentionally slowed buys to balance our inventory with sales.
Our operating cash flows are significantly impacted by the net change in auto loans held for investment and auto loans held for sale, which increased $309.3 million in the current year period compared with $595.5 million in the prior year period.  A significant portion of the changes in auto loans held for investment and auto loans held for sale are accompanied by changes in non-recourse notes payable, which are issued to fund auto loans originated by CAF. Net payments on non-recourse notes payable were $62.8 million in the current year period compared with net issuances of $228.3 million in the prior year period and are separately reflected as cash from financing activities. Due to the presentation differences between auto loans held for investment, auto loans held for sale and non-recourse notes payable on the consolidated statements of cash flows, fluctuations in these amounts can impact our operating and financing cash flows without affecting our overall liquidity, working capital or cash flows.
The increase in net cash provided by operating activities for the first six months of the current fiscal year compared with the prior year period primarily reflected the change in inventory and net change in auto loans held for investment and auto loans held for sale, as discussed above, partially offset by the impact of volume and timing-related changes in accounts payable.
Investing Activities. During the first six months of fiscal 2026, net cash used in investing activities totaled $272.5 million compared with $215.5 million in fiscal 2025.  Capital expenditures were $268.2 million in the current year period versus $213.1 million in the prior year period.  Capital expenditures primarily included construction costs to support our growth capacity initiatives and new store openings as well as investments in technology.  We maintain a multi-year pipeline of sites to support our store and capacity growth, so portions of capital spending in one year may relate to locations that we open in subsequent fiscal years.
As of August 31, 2025, 169 of our 253 used car stores were located on owned sites and 84 were located on leased sites, including 28 land-only leases and 56 land and building leases.
Financing Activities.  During the first six months of fiscal 2026, net cash used in financing activities totaled $467.7 million compared with $283.1 million in the prior year period.  Included in these amounts were net payments on non-recourse notes payable of $62.8 million compared with net issuances of $228.3 million in the prior year period. Non-recourse notes payable are typically used to fund changes in auto loans held for investment and auto loans held for sale (see “Operating Activities”).
During the first six months of fiscal 2026, cash used in financing activities was impacted by net payments on our long-term debt of $8.0 million as well as stock repurchases of $384.9 million. During the first six months of fiscal 2025, cash used in financing activities was impacted by net payments on our long-term debt of $306.3 million as well as stock repurchases of $213.3 million.

Borrowings under our $2.00 billion unsecured revolving credit facility are available for working capital and general corporate purposes, and the unused portion is fully available to us. The credit facility, term loan and senior note agreements contain representations and warranties, conditions and covenants.  If these requirements are not met, all amounts outstanding or otherwise owed could become due and payable immediately and other limitations could be placed on our ability to use any available borrowing capacity.  As of August 31, 2025, we were in compliance with these financial covenants.
See Note 9 for additional information on our revolving credit facility, term loan, senior notes and financing obligations.
CAF auto loans held for investment and auto loans held for sale are primarily funded through our warehouse facilities and asset-backed term funding transactions.  These non-recourse funding vehicles are structured to legally isolate the auto loans, and we would not expect to be able to access the assets of our non-recourse funding vehicles, even in insolvency, receivership or conservatorship proceedings.  Similarly, the investors in the non-recourse notes payable have no recourse to our assets beyond the related loans, the amounts on deposit in reserve accounts and the restricted cash from collections on auto loans held for investment.  We do, however, continue to have the rights associated with the interest we retain in these non-recourse funding vehicles.
As of August 31, 2025, $13.49 billion and $3.57 billion of non-recourse notes payable were outstanding related to asset-backed term funding transactions and our warehouse facilities, respectively.  During the first six months of fiscal 2026, we funded a total of $3.93 billion in asset-backed term funding transactions.  As of August 31, 2025, we had $2.53 billion of unused capacity in our warehouse facilities.
We have periodically increased our warehouse facility limit over time, as our store base, sales and CAF loan originations have grown. See Note 9 for additional information on the warehouse facilities.
We generally repurchase the loans funded through our warehouse facilities when we enter into an asset-backed term funding transaction. If our counterparties were to refuse to permit these repurchases it could impact our ability to execute on our funding program. Additionally, the agreements related to the warehouse facilities include various representations and warranties, as well as covenants and performance triggers related to events of default.  If these requirements are not met, we could be unable to continue to fund loans through the warehouse facilities.  In addition, warehouse facility investors could charge us a higher rate of interest and could have us replaced as servicer.  Further, we could be required to deposit collections on the related loans with the warehouse facility agents on a daily basis and deliver executed lockbox agreements to the warehouse facility agents.
The timing and amount of stock repurchases are determined based on stock price, market conditions, legal requirements and other factors.  Shares repurchased are deemed authorized but unissued shares of common stock.  As of August 31, 2025, a total of $2 billion of board authorizations for repurchases was outstanding, with no expiration date, of which $1.56 billion remained available for repurchase. See Note 10 for more information on share repurchase activity.

Item 4.    Controls and Procedures
Disclosure.  We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”)) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.  Our disclosure controls and procedures are also designed to ensure that this information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the chief executive officer (“CEO”) and the chief financial officer (“CFO”), as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
As of the end of the period covered by this report, with the participation of the CEO and CFO, we evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures.  Based upon that evaluation, the CEO and CFO concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period.
Internal Control over Financial Reporting. There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the quarter ended August 31, 2025, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
