Peer Group Issuers, Footnote The Peer Group TSR set forth in this table utilizes the S&P 500 Retailing Index, which we also utilize in the stock performance graph required by Item 201(e) of Regulation S-K included in our Annual Report for the year ended February 28, 2026. The comparison assumes $100 was invested for the period starting February 26, 2021 (the last trading day of fiscal 2021), through the end of the listed year in the Company and in the S&P 500 Retailing Index, respectively. Historical stock performance is not necessarily indicative of future stock performance.        
Adjustment To PEO Compensation, Footnote Compensation Actually Paid reflects the exclusions and inclusions of certain amounts for the PEOs and the Non-PEO NEOs as set forth below. Equity values are calculated in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718. Amounts in the Exclusion of Stock Awards and Option Awards column are the totals (or, in the case of the Non-PEO NEOs, the average of the totals) from the Stock Awards and Option Awards columns set forth in the Summary Compensation Table. Amounts in the Exclusion of
Change in Pension Value column reflect the amounts attributable to the Change in Pension Value reported in the Summary Compensation Table. There were no adjustments for inclusion of pension service cost or prior service cost because the Company’s defined benefit pension plans were frozen as of December 31, 2008, as described in the narrative to the “Pension Benefits in Fiscal 2026” table.

Additional 402(v) Disclosure The amounts shown for Compensation Actually Paid have been calculated in accordance with Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K and do not reflect compensation actually earned, realized, or received by the Company’s NEOs. These amounts reflect the Summary Compensation Table Total with certain adjustments as described in footnote (c) below.        
Measure:: 1          
Pay vs Performance Disclosure          
Name Adjusted EBIT        
Non-GAAP Measure Description We determined Adjusted EBIT to be the most important financial performance measure used to link Company performance to Compensation Actually Paid to our PEO and Non-PEO NEOs for fiscal year 2026, fiscal year 2025, fiscal year 2024 and fiscal year 2023. EBIT is earnings before interest and taxes, and the Committee defined “Adjusted EBIT” as EBIT that excludes the impact of any unrealized gains or losses on equity investments in private companies (or companies in which CarMax initially invested while that company was private but had subsequently gone public) as well as other significant non-cash gains or losses that are non-recurring in nature; however, including in EBIT for the relevant fiscal year the realized gains and losses in those investments to the extent that such gains or losses were realized in the applicable fiscal year. Adjusted EBIT may not have been the most important financial performance measure for fiscal year 2022 and we may determine a different financial performance measure to be the most important financial performance measure in future years.
