CARMAX REPORTS FOURTH QUARTER
AND FISCAL YEAR 2008 RESULTS

Provides Fiscal 2009 Expectations

Richmond, Va., April 2, 2008 – CarMax, Inc. (NYSE:KMX) today reported results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended February 29, 2008.

§  
Total sales increased 9% to $2.04 billion from $1.88 billion in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2007.  For the fiscal year, total sales increased 10% to $8.20 billion from $7.47 billion.

§  
Comparable store used unit sales increased 3% for both the fourth quarter and the fiscal year.

§  
Total used unit sales grew 13% in the fourth quarter and 12% for the fiscal year.

§  
For the fourth quarter, net earnings declined 48% to $21.8 million, or $0.10 per share, compared with $42.1 million, or $0.19 per share, in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2007.  For the fiscal year, net earnings declined 8% to $182.0 million, or $0.83 per share, compared with $198.6 million, or $0.92 per share, in fiscal 2007.

§  
In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008, CarMax Auto Finance (CAF) income was reduced by $34.6 million before taxes, or $0.10 per share, for retained interest adjustments and the effect of higher funding costs.

Fourth Quarter Business Performance Review

Sales.  “While business conditions in the automotive retail market remained challenging, our used car sales were stronger than we anticipated at the start of the quarter,” said Tom Folliard, president and chief executive officer.  We continued to experience healthy consumer traffic, which we believe reflects the strength of our consumer offer, as well as improvements made to carmax.com over the last several quarters.  Fourth quarter sales were supported by the continued consistent availability of credit from CAF and third-party financing providers.  Leap year added one extra selling day to the fourth quarter, and, as expected, this benefited our comparable store used unit sales by approximately 1%.

Given the continuation of the more difficult economic environment, we moderately reduced our margin targets in order to create additional value for our customers and drive sales.  Execution by our store teams improved and conversion rates increased modestly compared with the prior year’s quarter.  In addition, our data indicates that we continued to gain market share in the late-model used vehicle market.

Fourth quarter wholesale sales were similar to the prior year level.  Wholesale unit sales grew at a slower pace than our used retail unit sales, reflecting a decrease in our appraisal buy rate (defined as appraisal purchases as a percent of vehicles appraised).

New vehicle sales declined by 20%, reflecting the combination of the soft new car sales environment and the sale of our Orlando Chrysler Jeep Dodge franchise in the second quarter of fiscal 2008.  Other sales and revenues increased 13%, similar to the increase in our used vehicle sales.

Gross Profit.  Our total gross profit per unit declined by $120 to $2,531 compared with $2,651 in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2007.  The majority of the decline resulted from a $111 per unit decrease in gross profit per used vehicle.  In the more challenging consumer environment, we were willing to sacrifice some margin when we felt doing so could benefit sales, consistent with our long-term strategy to deliver a superior customer experience and grow market share.

Wholesale gross profit per unit increased slightly to $809 per unit compared with $805 per unit in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2007.  We continued to experience strong dealer attendance at our auctions, despite the challenging economic environment.

CarMax Auto Finance.  CAF generated a pre-tax loss of $1.0 million compared with income of $31.7 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2007.  Primarily as a result of the continuing turmoil and illiquidity in the global asset-backed credit markets, we incurred unfavorable adjustments and higher funding costs at CAF totaling $34.6 million before taxes, or $0.10 per share.  “It is disappointing to have incurred these significant and largely external, market-driven expenses, which adversely affected CAF income,” said Folliard.  “However, we remain committed to our finance operation.  We are confident CAF provides a competitive advantage for CarMax, and it allows us to maximize market share gains in all economic environments.  Even including the effects of the unfavorable CAF income adjustments and high funding costs in fiscal 2008, CAF provided greater profitability and greater business stability compared with being entirely reliant on third-party financing sources.”

The CAF adjustments and higher funding costs for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008 included the following items:

§  
We increased the discount rate used to value our retained interest in securitized receivables from 12% to 17%, resulting in a non-cash adjustment that reduced CAF income by $14.7 million, for current and prior quarter originations.  The change in the discount rate was largely driven by external financial market conditions, which resulted in an increase in the risk premium included within the discount rate assumption.  Changes in the discount rate primarily affect the timing of income recognition, and this adjustment should result in higher levels of CAF interest income in future periods.

§  
We increased our loss assumptions on the outstanding receivables in the 2007-1, 2007-2, 2007-3 and 2008-1 pools of receivables to a range of 2.9% to 3.0% from the previous range of 2.3% to 2.8%.  We also increased the loss assumption on receivables in the warehouse facility.  These adjustments reduced CAF income by $8.7 million.

§  
As previously disclosed, we incurred increased funding costs for the 2008-1 public securitization completed in January 2008, which reduced CAF income by $6.1 million.  This adjustment had been factored into our guidance for fiscal 2008 earnings that we provided when we released third quarter results in December 2007.

§  
Other adjustments of $5.1 million included a $2.7 million mark-to-market reduction in the carrying value of the subordinated bonds we continue to hold that were part of the 2008-1 public securitization, and $2.0 million related to increased funding costs for receivables in the warehouse facility that had been originated in previous quarters.

Excluding the effect of adjustments related to loans originated in prior quarters, CAF’s gain on loans originated and sold as a percentage of loans originated and sold (the gain percentage) was 3.6% in this year’s fourth quarter compared with 4.0% in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2007.

SG&A.  Selling, general and administrative expenses were 10.8% of total revenues in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008 compared with 10.7% in the prior year’s fourth quarter.  The increase largely resulted from the modest level of comparable store sales increases and our commitment to our ongoing growth plans, as well as our decision to continue spending on strategic, operational and Internet initiatives in fiscal 2008.  In addition, the SG&A ratio in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2007 was adversely affected by a high level of pre-opening costs and a $4.9 million impairment charge associated with a subsequently divested new car franchise.

Earnings and Earnings per Share. Fourth quarter net earnings declined to $21.8 million, or $0.10 per share, from $42.1 million, or $0.19 per share, in fiscal 2007.  “While the decline in the economy had a dampening effect on our sales and profits, the unprecedented turbulence in the capital markets and its effect on CAF income represented the majority of the decrease in our earnings,” said Folliard.

Store Openings.  During the fourth quarter, we opened two production superstores, in Omaha, Nebraska, and Jackson, Mississippi, and a non-production superstore in Baltimore, Maryland.

For the fiscal year, we opened a total of 12 superstores, expanding our store base by 16%.  We entered five new markets and expanded our presence in five existing markets.  These openings included four production superstores and eight non-production superstores.

During fiscal 2008, we also expanded our car-buying center test with the opening of buying centers in the Raleigh, North Carolina, and Tampa, Florida, markets.  At these locations, we conduct appraisals and purchase, but do not sell, vehicles.  These test centers are part of our long-term plan to increase both appraisal traffic and retail vehicle sourcing self-sufficiency.

Expectations for Fiscal Year Ending February 28, 2009

Fiscal 2009 Superstore Openings and Capital Expenditures.  In fiscal 2009, we plan to expand our used car superstore base by approximately 16%, opening 14 used car superstores, including 7 production and 7 non-production stores.  We plan to enter nine new markets and expand our presence in four existing markets.  Details of the planned store openings and other material construction projects are included in the following table.  Normal construction, permitting or other scheduling delays could shift the opening dates of any stores into a later period.

Opened in March 2008.

In fiscal 2009, we plan to open a central reconditioning facility in the Washington, D.C. / Baltimore market, where we currently have six superstores.  We have experienced strong sales growth in this market, and this facility will support additional expected market share gains.  In addition, we are converting our non-production store in Ontario, California, to a production store with the addition of reconditioning facilities, which will support our continued growth in the Los Angeles market.
 
In fiscal 2009, we also plan to expand our car-buying center test with the opening of our fourth and fifth centers, in Dallas, Texas, (opened in April 2008) and in Baltimore, Maryland.  We will continue to evaluate the performance of these five test centers before deciding whether to open additional car-buying centers in future years.
 
We currently estimate gross capital expenditures will total approximately $350 million in fiscal 2009.  Planned expenditures primarily relate to new store construction and land purchases associated with future year store openings.
 
We have revised our long-term store opening expectations to better reflect the actual pace of store openings in recent years and our current assessment of the optimal growth speed in future years.  We now expect to open used car superstores at a rate of approximately 15% of our used car superstore base each year.  Previously, we expected annual store openings in the range of 15% to 20% of our superstore base.
 
Fiscal 2009 Sales.  “We currently anticipate comparable store used unit sales in the range of (2)% to 5% in fiscal 2009,” said Folliard.  The wide range reflects an expectation of continued volatility in the market for late-model used cars.  We expect total revenues to increase between 7% and 14%, reflecting our planned new store openings, the comparable store sales performance and anticipated declines in both used vehicle average selling prices and new car revenues.

We are not anticipating any material change in credit availability for our customers in fiscal 2009, despite the fact that AmeriCredit Corp. is no longer one of our third-party financing providers effective April 1, 2008.  We anticipate the majority of loans previously financed by AmeriCredit will be financed by other third-party providers.

Fiscal 2009 Earnings Per Share.  “We currently expect fiscal 2009 earnings per share in the range of $0.78 to $0.94,” continued Folliard.  The width of this range reflects the uncertainty of current market conditions, especially in the capital markets.  We expect to maintain our used and wholesale vehicle gross profits per unit at levels similar to those in fiscal 2008.

We are anticipating that the disruption in the capital markets will continue to adversely affect CAF income throughout fiscal 2009 relative to historical norms.  We expect that funding costs for CAF will remain volatile in fiscal 2009.  Based on the spreads achieved in recent comparable auto ABS transactions, we estimate that CAF will have to absorb approximately $14 million of incremental funding costs upon the refinancing of the $855 million that was outstanding in the warehouse facility at the end of fiscal 2008.  In addition, we continue to explore alternate funding structures to the ABS markets.  We currently believe that the CAF gain percentage in fiscal 2009 will be well below the normalized range of 3.5% to 4.5%.  We expect that cumulative net loss rates on fiscal 2009 originations will be consistent with losses currently anticipated on loans originated in fiscal 2008, primarily due to the stresses of the current economy.

Our fiscal 2009 earnings estimates also reflect an expected increase in our SG&A ratio.  The combination of the anticipated comparable store sales performance and the decline in average selling price, together with our continued investments supporting our growth plan will likely cause the SG&A ratio to increase in fiscal 2009.  Interest expense is also expected to increase as we contemplate higher debt levels.

“While fiscal 2009 will clearly be another challenging year for us, our confidence in the strength of the CarMax model remains as high as ever,” said Folliard.  “We still have a huge growth opportunity ahead of us, and we continue to believe our long-term opportunity to increase earnings and grow market share remains enormous.”
