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 and most profitable retailer of used vehicles in the United States.vehicles. We operate in 2 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.
 
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 processprocess.  Our omni-channel experience, which gives us the largest addressable market in an attractive, modern sales facility, as well asthe used car industry, empowers customers to buy a car on their terms – online, in-store or a seamless integration of both. Customers can choose to complete the car-buying experience in-person at one of our stores; or buy the car online and receive delivery through carmax.com and our mobile apps.contactless curbside pickup, available nationwide, or home delivery, available to most customers. We provideoffer customers with a range of related products and services, including the appraisal and purchase of vehicles directly from consumers; 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”); 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 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, 201929, 2020 (the “2019“2020 Annual Report”), with the exception of those related to recent accounting pronouncements adopted in the current fiscal year.year as disclosed in the company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended May 31, 2020 (the "first quarter 2021 10-Q"). These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and footnotes included in our 20192020 Annual Report.Report and the unaudited consolidated financial statements and footnotes included in our first quarter 2021 10-Q.
 
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.  In particular, the novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic and the resulting adverse impacts to global economic conditions, as well as our operations, may impact future estimates including, but not limited to, our allowance for loan losses, inventory valuations, fair value measurements, downward adjustments to investments in equity securities, asset impairment charges, the effectiveness of the company’s hedging instruments, deferred tax valuation allowances, cancellation reserves, actuarial losses on our retirement benefit plans and discount rate assumptions. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year’s presentation.  Amounts and percentages may not total due to rounding.

In connection with our adoption of Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-02, Leases (“ASC 842”) during the current fiscal year, certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period’s presentation. In the consolidated balance sheets, financing obligations have been reclassified to current portion of long-term debt and long-term debt, excluding current portion. Also, capital lease obligations have been reclassified to accrued expenses and other current liabilities and other liabilities. In the consolidated statements of cash flows, payments on financing obligations have been reclassified to payments on long-term debt. See Notes 9 and 13 for additional information on financing obligations and leases, respectively.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements.
Effective in Future Periods.
In June 2016,August 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued an accounting pronouncement (FASB ASU 2016-13)(ASU 2020-06) related to the measurement of credit losses on financial instruments. This pronouncement, along with subsequent ASUs issued to clarify certain provisions of ASU 2016-13, changes the impairment modeland disclosure requirements for most financial assets and will require the use of an “expected loss” model for instruments measured at amortized cost. Under this model, entities will be required to estimate the lifetime expected credit loss on suchconvertible instruments and recordcontracts in an allowance to offsetentity's own equity. The pronouncement simplifies and adds disclosure requirements for the amortized cost basisaccounting and measurement of convertible instruments and the financial asset, resultingsettlement assessment for contracts in a net presentation of the amount expected to be collected on the financial asset. In developing the estimate for lifetime expected credit loss, entities must incorporate historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts.an entity's own equity. This pronouncement is effective for fiscal years, and for interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019.



2021. We have designed an allowance for loan loss methodologyplan to comply with these new requirements, which will be adoptedadopt this pronouncement for our fiscal year beginning March 1, 2020. Based on information as of November 30, 2019,2022, and we do not expect it to recordhave a $200-250 million increase in the allowance for loan losses on our opening consolidated balance sheet as of March 1, 2020, with a corresponding net-of-tax adjustment to retained earnings. The expected increase in the allowance for loan losses is primarily the result of extending the loan loss forecast period from 12 months to the entire lifetime of the loan portfolio. The final adoption impact may vary depending on the company’s portfolio at the adoption date, as well as macroeconomic conditions and forecasts at that time. We expect this new methodology could increase volatility in our quarterly provision for loan losses, as we will be estimating loan losses over a longer forecast period. We are finalizing testing of the effectiveness of our new allowance for loan loss methodology, as well as designing the relevant controls and governance structure.

In December 2019, the FASB issued an accounting pronouncement (FASB ASU 2019-12) related to simplifying the accounting for income taxes. The pronouncement is effective for fiscal years, and for interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020, with early adoption permitted. We are currently in the process of evaluating the effects of this pronouncementmaterial effect on our consolidated financial statements, including potential early adoption.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.

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 7-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 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 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, subject to various constraints, is recognized upon satisfying the performance obligation of selling the ESP. These constraints include factors that
Page 10


are outside of the company’s influence or control and the length of time until settlement. We apply the expected value method, utilizing historical claims and cancellation data from CarMax customers, as well as external data and other qualitative assumptions. This estimate is reassessed each reporting period with changes reflected in other sales and revenues on our consolidated statements of earnings and other assets on our consolidated balance sheets. As of November 30, 2019August 31, 2020 and February 28, 2019, we recognized a29, 2020, 0 long-term contract asset of $32.2 million and $25.7 million, respectively,was recognized related to cumulative profit-sharing payments to which we expect to be entitled. During the second quarter of fiscal 2020, this amount was reclassified from other assets to other current assets on our consolidated balance sheets, as we expect to begin receiving ESP profit-sharing payments in the first calendar quarter of 2020. While the initial payment could be up to $50 million, the revenue recognized to-date represents the amount for which we have determined it is probable it will not result in a significant revenue reversal. The first payment reflects the accumulation of profit-sharing for four years under our current contracts with the providers, while any subsequent profit-sharing payments we receive will only reflect one year of incremental earnings.

Third-Party Finance Fees. 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.

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 consist primarily of new vehicle sales at our two new car franchise locations and sales of accessories. Revenue in this category is recognized upon transfer of control to the customer.

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 the auto loan receivables,loans receivable, including trends in credit losses and delinquencies, and CAF direct expenses.  This information is used to assess CAF’s performance and make operating decisions, including resource allocation.

We typically use securitizations or other funding arrangements to fund loans originated by CAF.  CAF income primarily reflects the interest and fee income generated by the auto loan receivablesloans receivable less the interest expense associated with the debt issued to fund these receivables, a provision for estimated loan losses 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 expenses.  In addition, except for auto loan receivables,loans receivable, which are disclosed in Note 4, 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 Loan ReceivablesLoans Receivable
 
Auto loan receivablesloans receivable include amounts due from customers related to retail vehicle sales financed through CAF and are presented net of an allowance for estimated loan losses.  We generally use warehouse facilities to fund auto loan receivablesloans receivable 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 loan receivablesloans receivable into the warehouse facilities and asset-backed term funding transactions (together, “non-recourse funding vehicles”) as secured borrowings, which result in recording the auto loan receivablesloans receivable and the related non-recourse notes payable on our consolidated balance sheets. The majority of the auto loan receivablesloans receivable serve as collateral for the related non-recourse notes payable of $13.32$13.38 billion as of November 30, 2019August 31, 2020 and $12.54$13.61 billion as of February 28, 2019.29, 2020. See Note 9 for additional information on non-recourse notes payable.

Interest income and expenses related to auto loans are included in CAF income.  Interest income on auto loans receivable 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. 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 rely on 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 that is used includes income, collateral value and down payment.  The scoring models yield credit grades that represent the relative


likelihood of repayment.  Customers assigned a grade of “A” are determined to havewith the highest probability of repayment and customersare 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 loan receivablesloans receivable 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.

PercentLosses.  of total ending managed receivables.
The allowance for loan losses at August 31, 2020 represents an estimatethe net credit losses expected over the remaining contractual life of the amount of net losses inherent in our portfolio of managed receivables as of the applicable reporting date and expected to become evident during the following 12 months.receivables.  The allowance for loan losses is determined using a net loss timing curve, primarily based on the composition of the portfolio of managed receivables and historical gross loss trends and forecastedrecovery trends. For receivables that have less than 18 months of performance history, the net loss estimate takes into account the credit grades of the receivables and historical losses by credit grade to supplement actual loss data in estimating future performance. Once the receivables have 18 months of performance history, the net loss estimate reflects actual loss experience of those receivables to date, along with forward loss curves.  We alsocurves, 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 receivable’s life.

The output of the net loss timing curve is adjusted to take into account recent trendsreasonable and supportable forecasts about the future. Specifically, the change in delinquencies and defaults, recoveryU.S. unemployment rates and the NADA used vehicle price index are used to predict changes in gross loss and recovery rate, respectively. An economic environment.adjustment factor 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 net loss timing curve for the reasonable and supportable forecast period of two years. After the end of this two-year period, the impact of the economic factor is phased out of the allowance for loan loss calculation 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.  The provision for loan losses is the periodic expense of maintaining an adequate allowance.

During the first quarter of fiscal 2021, we adopted a new accounting pronouncement related to the measurement of credit losses on financial instruments (ASU 2016-13 or “CECL”). The adoption of this pronouncement resulted in the recognition of a $202.0 million increase in the allowance for loan losses as of March 1, 2020, with a corresponding net-of-tax decrease of $153.3 million in retained earnings. During the first six months of fiscal 2021, we recorded a provision for loan losses of $148.0 million. The first quarter provision of $122.0 million included an increase in our estimate of lifetime losses on existing loans, largely resulting from worsening economic factors in response to COVID-19. In particular, the U.S. unemployment rate rose significantly during the first quarter. This rate is used in loss prediction to incorporate how current and forecasted economic conditions impact customer hardship, or ability to pay.  Changes in the NADA used vehicle price index were not significant. During the second quarter of fiscal 2021, we experienced favorable loss performance in comparison to our loss expectations set at the end of the first quarter, resulting in a $29.6 million favorable adjustment for receivables then outstanding. This adjustment was more than offset by a $55.6 million increase to the provision related to our estimate of lifetime losses on originations during the second quarter. While we experienced some loss favorability during the second quarter of fiscal 2021, this favorability was tempered by economic adjustment factors applied to the provision. The allowance for loan losses as of August 31, 2020 reflects the unpredictability of the current environment and the highly uncertain consumer situation.

Past Due Receivables. 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 receivable is 120 days or more delinquent as of the last business day of the month, the related vehicle is repossessed and liquidated, or the receivable is otherwise deemed uncollectible.  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 LIBOR 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 loan receivables,loans receivable, 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 (“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 $7.1$22.4 million will be reclassified in AOCL as a decrease 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 and six months ended August 31, 2020, we recognized a loss of $0.3 million and $2.2 million, respectively, in CAF income representing these changes in fair value.
 
As of November 30, 2019August 31, 2020 and February 28, 2019,29, 2020, we had interest rate swaps outstanding with a combined notional amount of $2.59$2.52 billion and $2.23$2.62 billion, respectively, that were designated as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk. As of August 31, 2020, we had 0 interest rate swaps outstanding that were not designated as cash flow hedges.

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 1Inputs include unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that we can access at the measurement date.
Level 1     Inputs include unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that we can access at the measurement date.
 
Level 2Inputs 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 and observable inputs such as interest rates and yield curves.
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 and observable inputs such as interest rates and yield curves.
 
Level 3Inputs 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).
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 loan receivablesloans receivable 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 loan receivablesloans receivable are presented net of an allowance for estimated loan losses. 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 senior unsecured notes, which are not carried at fair value on our consolidated balance sheets, was determined using Level 2 inputs based on quoted market prices. The carrying value and fair value of the senior unsecured notes as of November 30, 2019August 31, 2020 and February 28, 2019,29, 2020, 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.

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 did not qualify for sale accounting and are accounted for as financing obligations. For more information on these financing obligations see Note 9.
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 restricted 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.

CarMax Auto Superstores California, LLC, and CarMax Auto Superstores West Coast, Inc., a putative class action, was filed in the Superior Court of the State of California, Los Angeles. The Gomez lawsuit seeks declaratory relief, unspecified damages, restitution, statutory penalties, interest, cost and attorneys’ fees. On October 31, 2017, Joshua Sabanovich v. CarMax Superstores California, LLC et. al., a putative class action, was filed in the Superior Court of California, County of Stanislaus. The Sabanovich lawsuit seeks unspecified damages, restitution, statutory penalties, interest, cost and attorneys’ fees.  On November 21, 2018, Derek McelhannonMcElhannon et al v. CarMax Auto Superstores California, LLC and CarMax Auto Superstores West Coast, Inc., a putative class action, was filed in Superior Court of California, County of Alameda.

The lawsuit was remanded back to the Superior Court of California, County of Alameda on June 4, 2019. The McelhannonMcElhannon lawsuit seeks unspecified damages, restitution, statutory and/or civil penalties, interest, cost and attorneys’ fees.

CarMax has reached a global agreement settling the Weiss, Gomez and McElhannon lawsuits on a class basis. The settlement agreement was submitted for pre-approval to the Superior Court of California, County of Placer on August 14, 2020 as part of the Weiss lawsuit and the settlement is expected to be submitted for final approval following the completion of required class procedures. In anticipation of the consolidation of claims under the global settlement agreement, on March 11, 2020, the Gomez and McElhannon lawsuits were dismissed, as the claims of the plaintiffs will be addressed in the global settlement. The monetary settlement under this agreement is for an immaterial amount that has been fully accrued.

The Sabanovich lawsuit is not included in the global settlement agreement. Based upon our evaluation of information currently available, we believe that the ultimate resolution of the foregoing proceedings will not have a material adverse effect, either individually or in the aggregate, on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

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, 201929, 2020 (“fiscal 2019”2020”), as well as our consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes included in Item 1 of this Form 10-Q.  Note references are to the notes to 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 and most profitable 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”); 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 websiteomni-channel experience, which gives us the largest addressable market in the used car industry, empowers customers to buy a car on their terms – online, in-store or a seamless integration of both. Customers can choose to complete the car-buying experience in-person at one of our stores; or buy the car online and related mobile apps are tools for communicating the CarMax consumer offer in detail; sophisticated search engines for finding the right vehicle; and sales channels for customers who preferreceive delivery through contactless curbside pickup, available nationwide, or home delivery, available to shop online. most customers.
 
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. 
 
As of November 30, 2019,August 31, 2020, we operated 213220 used car stores in 105106 U.S. television markets, as well as 2 new car franchises.  As of that date, we also conducted wholesale auctions previously held at 74 of our used car stores down from 76 stores in the prior quarter as we moved auction activity to other locations to unlock additional retail and production capacity. were being conducted virtually.
 
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 loan receivablesloans receivable less the interest expense associated with the debt issued to fund these receivables, a provision for estimated loan losses 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 42.3%40.1% of our retail used vehicle unit sales in the first ninesix months of fiscal 2020.2021.  As of November 30, 2019,August 31, 2020, CAF serviced approximately 1,019,0001,027,000 customer accounts in its $13.35$13.38 billion portfolio of managed receivables. 
 
Management regularly analyzes CAF’s operating results by assessing the competitiveness of our consumer offer, profitability, the performance of the auto loan receivables,loans receivable, including trends in credit losses and delinquencies, and CAF direct expenses.

Impact of COVID-19
In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of the novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) as a global pandemic. In the following weeks, many U.S. states and localities issued shelter-in-place orders impacting the operations of our stores and consumer demand. We followed mandates from public health officials and government agencies, including implementation of enhanced cleaning measures and social distancing guidelines and, in many localities, the closing of stores and wholesale auctions. As a result of these store closures and lower consumer demand, we announced in April 2020 that more than 15,000 associates had been placed on furlough. During the first six months of fiscal 2021, we spent approximately
Page 27


$30 million supporting associates impacted by COVID-19, store closures and furloughs. This included providing associates with at least 14 days of pay continuity upon store closure or quarantine, along with continuing medical benefits for associates who were furloughed. During the second quarter of fiscal 2021, we began to call back associates from furlough and by the end of July 2020, we no longer had any associates on furlough.

We have implemented robust plans to reduce the risk of exposure and further spread of the virus in our stores and continue to follow the mandates of public health officials and government agencies. We also launched contactless curbside pickup nationwide to better serve our customers in alignment with enhanced safety practices. In addition, we quickly shifted our wholesale business from in-person to online auctions, and we continue to keep our appraisal lanes open for customers who want or need to sell their cars. During the second quarter of fiscal 2021, we completed the rollout of our omni-channel experience, which gives us the largest addressable market in the used car industry. This offering gives customers the option to seamlessly do as much, or as little, online and in-person as they prefer.

At the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic in early April, due to the mandates of public health officials and government agencies, approximately half of our stores were closed or under limited operations. Limited operations means the stores could sell cars but were limited to appointment-only, curbside pickup, home delivery or some combination of all three. As a result, used vehicle sales were down more than 75% during that period. Further, pricing and margin was pressured by sharp declines in industry wholesale valuations due to a steep depreciation environment. During this period, we reduced inventory levels to align with sales.

Since hitting a trough in early April, we have seen our sales improve as stores reopened, occupancy restrictions eased and customers re-engaged in car buying. As of August 31, 2020, all of our stores were open, but many continue to run under occupancy restrictions. We experienced negative comparable used unit sales in the first quarter of fiscal 2021, which continued into June when we experienced high single digit negative comparable used unit sales. The June results were more than offset by mid single digit positive comparable used unit sales in both July and August, a trend that continued through September. As demand increased during the second quarter, we were able to build our saleable inventory by more than 50% and successfully ramped up to target levels in September.

The impact of COVID-19 on CAF loan origination volume has been consistent with our retail and wholesale sales performance noted above. As the pandemic escalated, we saw an increase in delinquencies and greater demand for payment extensions. In response, we implemented a variety of measures to support our customers through this difficult time and to maximize the long-term collectability of the portfolio. This included temporarily suspending repossessions, waiving late fees, and providing loan payment extensions where appropriate. In addition to pausing our in-house Tier 3 lending, we also made temporary underwriting adjustments focused on preserving CAF's high-quality portfolio and tested certain loan routing to our third-party providers.

Payment extensions spiked in April and have declined significantly since then as customers have exhibited the ability and willingness to pay. During the first six months of fiscal 2021, delinquency rates were lower year-over-year. During the back half of the second quarter of fiscal 2021, we ceased CAF's underwriting adjustments noted above, and in September we resumed our in-house Tier 3 lending.

In response to COVID-19, we took several measures in the first quarter of fiscal 2021 to enhance our liquidity position and provide additional financial flexibility. This included drawing down additional funds on our revolving credit facility, pausing our stock repurchase program, pausing our store expansion strategy and remodels, reducing inventory levels and aligning other operating expenses to the lower sales volume. In addition to the temporary furlough mentioned above, we also implemented a hiring freeze, reduced advertising spending and reduced labor hours. As of the end of the second quarter, we are actively hiring nationwide and have resumed our store expansion strategy with plans to open between eight and ten stores in fiscal 2022. Subsequent to the end of the second quarter, we used our cash on hand to fully pay down the outstanding balance on our revolving credit facility and resumed our share repurchase program.

During the first quarter of fiscal 2021, new legislation was enacted, and new IRS guidance was issued to provide relief to businesses in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. We have evaluated the tax provisions included in legislation such as the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act), as well as recent IRS guidance. While the most significant impacts to the company include the employee retention tax credit and payroll tax deferral provisions of the CARES Act, we do not expect recent IRS guidance or the CARES Act to have a material impact on our results of operations.

The COVID-19 pandemic remains a rapidly evolving situation. We continue to actively monitor developments that may cause us to take further actions that alter our business operations as may be required by federal, state or local authorities or that we determine are in the best interests of our associates, customers and shareholders. The duration and severity of the COVID-19
Page 28


outbreak are uncertain, and we are unable to determine the full impact that social distancing protocols, or potential subsequent outbreaks, will ultimately have on our operations or consumer demand. As such, the full impact on our revenues, profitability, financial position and liquidity remains uncertain at this time.

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.  During the first nine months of fiscal 2020, net cash used inIn addition to funding our operations, totaled $117.9 million. This amount, combined with $785.0 million of net issuances of non-recourse notes payable, resulted in $667.1 million of adjusted net cash provided by operating activities (a non-GAAP measure). Thisthis liquidity was primarilyhistorically used to fund the repurchase of 5.7 million common sharesstock under our share repurchase program and our store growth. Our current capital allocation strategy is to remain focused on growing the business while maintaining the appropriate amount of caution given the uncertainty that remains in the economic environment.

When considering cash fromAs noted above, in response to the COVID-19 situation, we took certain measures in the first quarter of fiscal 2021 to enhance our liquidity position and provide additional financial flexibility, including drawing down additional funds on our revolving credit facility, pausing our stock repurchase program, pausing our store expansion strategy and remodels and actively aligning operating activities, management does not include increasesexpenses to the current state of the business, including the previously discussed furlough. We strengthened our overall financial position by selling through inventory and quickly aligning costs to lower sales volumes. As demand increased during the second quarter, we were able to build our saleable inventory by more than 50% and successfully ramped up to target levels in auto loan receivables thatSeptember. Subsequent to the end of the second quarter, we fully paid down the outstanding balance on our revolving credit facility and resumed our store expansion strategy and share repurchase program. Given the turnaround in our business, the strength of the credit markets and our solid balance sheet, we believe we have been funded with non-recourse notes payable, which are separately reflected as cash provided by (used in) financing activities.  For a reconciliation of adjusted net cash provided by operating activitiesthe appropriate liquidity, access to net cash (used in) provided by operating activities,capital and financial strength to support our operations and continue investing in our omni and digital initiatives for the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, see “Reconciliation of Adjusted Net Cash from Operating Activities” included in “FINANCIAL CONDITION – Liquidity and Capital Resources.”foreseeable future.
 
Future Outlook
Our long-term strategy isThe COVID-19 situation has created an unprecedented and challenging time. As discussed above, we have taken several steps to completeensure a strong liquidity position and enable our stores to operate amidst the rollout of our retail concept, including our new omni-channel experience,current health and safety concerns. We will continue to increase our share of used vehicle unit salesmonitor the COVID-19 situation and make any further decisions necessary to position the company for a strong recovery as we emerge from this crisis.

We recognize the current environment has accelerated a shift in each of the marketsconsumer buying behavior. Customers are seeking safety, personalization and convenience more than ever in which we operate.how they shop for and buy a vehicle. Our omni-channel experience empowers customers to buy a car on their own terms, whether completely from home, in-store or through a seamlessly integrated combination of online and in-store experiences. The current environment creates an opportunity for us to use our unique consumer offering to capitalize on our current position and grow market share. We completed our omni-channel rollout in the second quarter of fiscal 2021 and are now focusing our efforts on optimizing this customer experience with new enhancements.

In the near term, our strategic investments will focus on our customer experience, vehicle acquisition and marketing. As we go forward, we plan to focus on clearly differentiating our brand from digital-only and traditional dealer brands by demonstrating the benefits of our omni-channel offering. As a result, we plan to increase our year-over-year marketing spend in the second half of fiscal 2021. We also continue to focus on driving effectiveness through our centralized CECs, improving our core buying channels and opening new buying channels and modernizing our wholesale auction platforms. While it is still a relatively new capability for us and still maturing, our CECs are quickly becoming more effective than our previous model. Approximately 70% of our customers interacted with our CECs during the second quarter. Additionally, approximately 50% of our customers chose to progress their sale remotely, which is up from 42% prior to COVID-19. We have taken decisive actions since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic that have supported our ability to appropriately manage costs. We will continue to act on opportunities to become leaner, more agile and a more cost-effective organization over the long term.

Our long-term strategy continues to be focused on completing the rollout of our retail concept and optimizing our omni-channel experience, with the goal of increasing our share of used vehicle unit sales in each of the markets in which we operate. At the same time, we are identifying and investing in new initiatives that we believe will also be solid contributors to our earnings growth. We believe, that, over the long term, used vehicle unit sales are the primary driver for earnings growth. We also believe that increased used vehicle unit sales will drive increased sales of wholesale vehicles and ancillary products and, over time, increased CAF income.

In calendar 2018,2019, we estimate we sold approximately 4.4%4.7% of the age 0- to 10-year old vehicles sold in the comparable store markets in which we were operating and approximately 3.3%3.5% of the age 0- to 10-year old vehicles sold on a nationwide basis. Our strategy to increase our market share includes continuing to focusfocusing on:

Opening stores in new markets and expanding our presence in existing markets.
Delivering a customer-driven, omni-channel buying and selling experience that is a unique and powerful integration of our in-store and online capabilities.
Opening stores in new markets and expanding our presence in existing markets.
Hiring and developing an engaged and skilled workforce.
Improving efficiency in our stores and our logistics operations to drive out waste.
Leveraging data and advanced analytics to continuously improve the customer experience as well as our processes and systems.

In order to execute our long-term strategy, we are investinghave invested in various strategic initiatives to increase innovation, specifically with regards to customer facingcustomer-facing and customer-enabling technologies. We continue to make improvements to our website and enhance customer experiences, such as finance pre-approval, online appraisal, home delivery online appraisal and expresscurbside pick-up. We are also developing and implementing tools that help our associates be more efficient and effective. Additionally, we are centralizinghave centralized customer support in our customer experience centers (“CEC”),CECs, which we expect to providebelieve provides a more seamless integration between the online and in-store experience for our customers. Our use of data is a core component of these initiatives and continues to be a strategic asset for us as we leverage data to enhance the customer experience and increase operational efficiencies.

In December 2018, we launched our omni-channel car buying experience in the Atlanta market. During the first nine months of fiscal 2020, we continued this roll-out to additional markets, making the omni-channel experience available to approximately 40% of our customer base. While we expect performance in each new omni-channel market will vary, during the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2020, markets offering an omni-channel experience had slightly stronger comparable store used unit sales than our non-omni markets. We previously opened CECs in Raleigh, Atlanta and Kansas City, and in December 2019 we opened another CEC in Phoenix. We anticipate staffing more than 1,000 associates across all of our CECs, and we expect to reduce store-level staffing by a commensurate level through normal attrition. We remain on track to make the omni-channel experience available to the majority of our customers by the end of fiscal 2020, and we plan to complete the roll-out in fiscal 2021.

While there are incremental costs and inefficiencies in the near term related to strategic initiatives, we have also identified potential cost savings through process changes and other improvements that can help offset these expenses over time. While in any individual period conditions may vary, over the long term,in periods of elevated investment in our strategic initiatives, we would expect to leverage our SG&A expenses when comparable store used unit sales growth is in the mid-single digit range. With increased spending expected for fiscal 2020, we believe our comparable store used unit sales growth on an annual basis will need to be in the range of 5% to 8% to leverage SG&A. We expect the rate of growth in spending on omni-related initiatives to slow in fiscal year 2021 and taper thereafter. We will continue to look for opportunities to reduce waste and re-prioritize spend.an annual basis.


As of November 30, 2019,August 31, 2020, we had used car stores located in 105106 U.S. television markets, which covered approximately 77%78% 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 ninesix months of fiscal 2020,2021, we opened four stores. In response to COVID-19, we paused our store expansion strategy in the first quarter of fiscal 2021. We are resuming new store growth and anticipate opening between eight and ten stores and during the remainder of the fiscal year, we plan to open three stores.  In fiscal 2021, we plan to open a similar number of stores as we expect to open in fiscal 2020.  For a detailed list of stores we plan to open in the 12 months following November 30, 2019, see the table included in “PLANNED FUTURE ACTIVITIES.”2022.

While we execute both our short- and long-term strategy, there are trends and factors that could impact our strategic approach or our results in the short and medium term.

During the first ninesix months of fiscal 2020,2021, we opened tenfour stores, including five stores in new television markets (Waco, TX; McAllen, TX; Lubbock, TX; Palm Springs, CA; and Gulfport, MS) and five storesall in existing television markets (Memphis, TN; San Francisco, CA; Phoenix, AZ; Dallas, TX;(Tampa, FL; Philadelphia, PA; New Orleans, LA; and Atlanta, GA)Los Angeles, CA)

Used Vehicle Sales.  The 13.6%1.0% increase in used vehicle revenues in the thirdsecond quarter of fiscal 20202021 was primarily due to an 11.0%a 3.9% increase in used unit sales. The increase in used units included a 7.5%1.2% increase in comparable store used unit sales and sales from newer stores not yet included in the comparable store base. The comparable store used unit sales performance reflected strong conversion, continued support from financing, growth in web initiated selling opportunities, and solid execution by our associates in our stores and our customer experience centers. A strengthening used car environment also benefited the quarter, and though inventory availability was a headwind to sales, we returned to targeted inventory levels in September.

The 11.9% increase19.3% decrease in used vehicle revenues in the first ninesix months of fiscal 20202021 was primarily due to a 10.1% increasean 18.7% decrease in used unit sales. The increasedecrease in used units included a 6.7% increase21.0% decrease in comparable store used unit salessales. This reflected the combined effects of COVID-19 related store closures and salesrestrictions on operations, as well as reduced customer traffic resulting from newer stores not yet included in the economic impact of the pandemic and nationwide shelter-in-place orders, primarily during the first quarter of fiscal 2021. We experienced negative comparable store base.

The comparable store used unit sales performance in both the thirdfirst quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2020 reflected strong conversion,2021, which continued through June. This was aidedpartially offset by continued support from our third-party lending partners; 15% growth in web traffic; and a favorable response to our consumer initiatives. We believe that solid execution in operations, finance, customer progression and marketing, in addition to an overall favorable used car sales environment, also contributed to our sales growth for both the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2020.

This increase inpositive comparable used unit comparable sales in both the third quarterJuly and first nine months of fiscal 2020 was slightly stronger in markets offering a full omni-channel experience. Additionally, many of our omni-channel related digital initiatives, including improved customer lead management tools, finance self-service tools and digital merchandising, have been rolled out nationwide. We believe these initiatives supported our strong used unit comparable sales performance in markets both with and without the full omni-channel experience. We also believe all stores benefited from our national marketing campaign launched in October.August.

The increasedecrease in average retail selling price in both the thirdsecond quarter and first nine months of fiscal 20202021 reflected higher vehicle acquisition costs as well as shifts in the mix of our sales by both vehicle age and class. The decrease in average retail selling price in the first six months of fiscal 2021 reflected shifts in the mix of our sales by both vehicle age and class, partially offset by higher vehicle acquisition costs.



Wholesale Vehicle Sales. Vehicles sold at our wholesale auctions are, on average, approximately 10 years old with more than 100,000 miles and are primarily 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 1.2%20.8% increase in wholesale vehicle revenues in the thirdsecond quarter of fiscal 20202021 was primarily due to a 3.3%5.1% increase in unit sales partially offset byas well as a 2.6% decline15.7% increase in average selling price. The wholesale unit growth was largely driven by the growth in our store base,a record appraisal buy rate, partially offset by lower appraisal traffic. Additionally, wholesale unit sales benefited from an extra auction day in the quarter.

The 5.5% increase13.3% decrease in wholesale vehicle revenues in the first ninesix months of fiscal 20202021 was primarily due to a 4.8%20.6% decline in unit sales, partially offset by a 9.5% increase in unit sales.average selling price. The wholesale unit growthdecrease was largely driven by lower appraisal traffic, partially offset by an increase in our appraisal buy raterate.

The increase in average selling price in both the second quarter and the growth in our store base, partially offsetfirst six months of fiscal 2021 was primarily due to increased acquisition costs driven by lower appraisal traffic.market appreciation.

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, and other revenues, which are predominantly comprised of service department and new vehicle 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 increased 4.1%declined 7.2% in the thirdsecond quarter of fiscal 20202021, reflecting a decrease in other revenues, including new car and 6.3%service department sales, and an increase in net third-party finance fees, partially offset by growth in EPP revenues. EPP revenues increased 5.4%, largely reflecting the growth in our used unit sales as well as a year-over-year increase of $1.7 million related to profit-sharing revenue.

Other sales and revenues declined 22.4% in the first ninesix months of fiscal 2020, driven by the 13.3%2021, reflecting decreases in other revenues, including new car and 13.2% increase inservice department sales, and EPP revenues. EPP revenues respectively. The increasedeclined 14.2%, largely reflecting the reduction in EPP revenues for both periods reflected the combined effects of our used unit growthsales, partially offset by a year-over-year increase of $5.1 million related to profit-sharing revenue. The new car and increased margins.service department sales declines reflected both store closures and reduced customer traffic.

We expect to begin receiving ESP profit-sharing payments in the first calendar quarter of 2020. While the initial payment could be up to $50 million, through November 30, 2019, we have recognized revenue of $32.2 million, which represents the cumulative amount for which we have determined it is probable it will not result in a significant revenue reversal. The first payment reflects the accumulation of profit-sharing for four years under our current contracts with the providers, while any subsequent profit-sharing payments we receive will only reflect one year of incremental earnings.

Seasonality.  Historically, our business has been seasonal.  Our stores typically experience their strongest traffic and sales in the spring and summer, quarters.  Sales are typically slowest in the fall quarter.  We typically experiencewith an increase in traffic and sales in February and March, coinciding with federal income tax refund season. Sales are typically slowest in the fall.

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 the broader market trade-in trends 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. 
Page 34


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 through our appraisal process.  Vehicles purchased directly from consumers typically generate more gross profit per unit compared with vehicles purchased at auction or through other channels.
 
Used vehicle gross profit rose 11.7%increased 5.4% in the thirdsecond quarter of fiscal 2020 and 10.3% in2021, reflecting the first nine months of fiscal 2020, driven by the 11.0% and 10.1% growth3.9% increase in total used unit sales respectively. Ourand strong execution, which contributed to the $31 increase in used vehicle gross profit per unit. Used vehicle gross profit declined 22.1% in the first six months of fiscal 2021, reflecting the 18.7% decline in total used unit sales as well as the $92 decline in used vehicle gross profit per unit. During the first quarter of fiscal 2021, our used vehicle gross profit per unit remained relatively flatwas pressured by pricing adjustments made to better align inventory levels with the corresponding prior year quarter and period.sales in response to COVID-19. We believe we can manage to a targeted gross profit per unit dollar range, subject to future changes to our business or pricing strategy. With regard to the COVID-19 pandemic, we believe significant pressures on gross profit per unit are behind us; however, gross profit per unit performance is largely dependent on sales trends and ongoing economic recovery.

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 increased 2.0%23.0% in the thirdsecond quarter of fiscal 2020,2021, reflecting the 5.1% increase in wholesale unit sales, robust appreciation in the market and strong execution, which contributed to the $158 increase in wholesale gross profit per unit. Wholesale vehicle gross profit decreased 15.2% in the first six months of fiscal 2021, driven by the 3.3% increase20.6% decrease in wholesale unit sales, partially offset by a modest decrease in wholesale gross profit per unit as a result of increased depreciation at auctions during the third quarter. In the first nine months of fiscal 2020, wholesale vehicle gross profit increased 5.9%, driven by the 4.8% increase in wholesale unit sales and a modest$67 increase in wholesale gross profit per unit. Wholesale gross profit per unit was under significant pressure early in the current year’s first quarter, reflecting sharp declines in industry wholesale valuations; however, wholesale gross profit per unit had fully recovered by the end of the first quarter. During the second quarter of fiscal 2021, performance was supported by strong appreciation in the market. By the end of the quarter, depreciation had returned to the wholesale market.

Other Gross Profit.  Other gross profit includes profits related to EPP revenues, net third-party finance fees and other revenues. Other revenues which are predominantly comprised of service department operations, including used vehicle reconditioning, and new vehicle sales.  We have no cost of sales related to EPP revenues or net third-party finance fees, as these represent revenues paid to us by certain third-party providers.  Third-party finance fees are 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 declined 0.8%increased 5.8% in the thirdsecond quarter of fiscal 2020 and increased 6.6%2021, reflecting the increase in EPP revenues, partially offset by the increase in net third-party finance fees. The increase was also due to an increase in service department profits, reflecting improved overhead leverage resulting from our growth in used unit sales as well as the employee retention tax credit enacted as part of the CARES Act. Other gross profit decreased 34.2% in the first ninesix months of fiscal 2020, primarily2021, reflecting the growth in EPP profits discussed above, offset by a decline in service department profits and EPP revenues. Service results in the first six months of $11.0 millionfiscal 2021 reflected the overhead deleverage resulting from our decline in used car sales, as well as pay continuity for our technicians and $13.9 million, respectively.other service personnel during periods of reduced vehicle reconditioning activity in the first quarter. Service profits wereresults for the six-month period also continued to be adversely affected by a recentthe increase in our post-sale warranty period from 30 to 90 days near-term inefficiencies resulting from our recent rampimplemented in technician hiring to support future sales growth, and higher share-based compensation expense for service department associates due to an increase in our stock price.May 2019.

Impact of Inflation.  Historically, inflation has not had a significant impact on results.  Profitability is primarily affected by our ability to achieve targeted unit sales and gross profit dollars per vehicle rather than by changes in average retail prices.  However, we believe higher vehicle acquisition prices have adversely impacted, and could impact in the future, our comparable store used unit sales growth. Changes in average vehicle selling prices can also impact CAF income, to the extent the average amount financed also changes.

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 rose to $21.8 million and $60.7remained relatively flat at $22.5 million in the thirdsecond quarter andof fiscal 2021 compared with $21.1 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2020.

Other income was $6.6 million and $6.8 million in the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2020, respectively, compared with expense of $2.8 million and $3.1 million in the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2019. The increase for both periods was primarily due to an unrealized gain on an investment recorded during fiscal 2020.

Income Taxes.  The effective income tax rate was 23.9%23.6% in the thirdsecond quarter of fiscal 2021 and 23.1% in the first six months of fiscal 2021 versus 23.5% in the second quarter of fiscal 2020 and 23.8% in the first ninesix months of fiscal 2020 versus 23.2% in the third quarter of fiscal 2019 and 24.2% in the first nine months of fiscal 2019.2020.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS – CARMAX AUTO FINANCE
 
CAF income primarily reflects interest and fee income generated by CAF’s portfolio of auto loan receivablesloans receivable less the interest expense associated with the debt issued to fund these receivables, a provision for estimated loan losses 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 affect CAF income over time. Continued increasesIncreases in interest rates, which affect CAF’s funding costs, or other competitive pressures on consumer rates, could result in compression in the interest margin on new originations. Changes in the allowance for loan losses as a percentage of ending managed receivables reflect the effect of the changechanges in loss and delinquency experience and economic factors on our outlook for net losses expected to occur over the next 12 months.remaining contractual life of the loans receivable.

CAF’s managed portfolio is composed primarily of loans originated over the past several years.  Trends in receivable growth and interest margins primarily reflect the cumulative effect of changes in the business over a multi-year period. We striveHistorically, we have strived to originate loans with an underlying risk profile that we believe will, in the aggregate and excluding CAF’s Tier 3 originations, result in cumulative net losses in the 2% to 2.5% range over the life of the loans.  Actual loss performance of the loans may fall outside of this range based on various factors, including intentional changes in the risk profile of originations, economic conditions (including the effects of the COVID-19 outbreak) and wholesale recovery rates.  Based on underwriting adjustments made during the first quarter of fiscal 2021, in response to higher anticipated losses related to COVID-19, we targeted new loans toward the higher end of this range. In the second quarter of fiscal 2021, we ceased the underwriting adjustments made during the previous quarter and loans originated continued to be targeted at the higher end, or slightly above, this range. Current period originations reflect current trends in both our retail sales and the CAF business, including the volume of loans originated, current interest rates charged to consumers, loan terms and average credit scores.   BecauseLoans originated in a given fiscal period impact CAF income over time, as we recognize CAF income over the life of the underlying auto loan, loans originated in a given fiscal period generally do not have a significant effect on that period’s financial results.loan. 

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 loan receivables,loans receivable, including credit quality.

CAF Income (Increase of $4.3$33.1 million, or 3.9%,29.0% in the second quarter of fiscal 2021)
The increase in CAF income reflects a decrease in the provision for loan losses, as well as increases in the total interest margin percentage and $9.1average managed receivables.
The increase in net loan originations resulted from our used vehicle sales growth as well as an increase in CAF’s net penetration rate, partially offset by a decrease in the average amount financed.

CAF Income (Decrease of $31.9 million or 2.7%,13.9% in the third quarter and first ninesix months of fiscal 2020, respectively)
The increase in CAF income for the third quarter of fiscal 2020 reflects an increase in average managed receivables and a modest improvement in the total interest margin percentage, partially offset by an increase in the provision for loan losses.
The increase in CAF income for the first nine months of fiscal 2020 reflects an increase in average managed receivables, partially offset by an increase in the provision for loan losses.
Average managed receivables grew 7.5% to $13.24 billion in the third quarter of fiscal 2020 and 7.7% to $12.99 billion in the first nine months of fiscal 2020 driven primarily by the rise in CAF loan originations in recent years.
The growth in net loan originations in both the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2020 resulted from our used vehicle sales growth and an increase in the average amount financed, partially offset by a decline in CAF’s penetration rate.

The decrease in CAF income reflects an increase in the provision for loan losses, partially offset by improvement in the total interest margin percentage.
The decrease in net loan originations resulted from our used vehicle sales decline as well as a decline in CAF's net penetration rate.

The decrease in the provision for loan losses was primarily due to favorable loss experience in comparison to our loss expectations set at the end of the first quarter, resulting in a $29.6 million favorable adjustment for receivables then outstanding.
This adjustment was more than offset by a $55.6 million increase to the provision related to our estimate of lifetime losses on originations during the second quarter.
While we experienced some loss favorability during the second quarter, this favorability was tempered by economic adjustment factors applied to the provision. The allowance for loan losses as of August 31, 2020 reflects the unpredictability of the current environment and the highly uncertain consumer situation.

Provision for Loan Losses (Increase of $64.3 million in the first ninesix months of fiscal 2020, respectively, from $40.82021)
The provision included $93.7 million, and $111.7which largely reflected our initial estimate of lifetime losses on loans originated in each quarter of the current fiscal year.
The provision also included a net increase of $54.3 million in our estimate of lifetime losses on loans existing at the thirdbeginning of each quarter during the current fiscal year, largely resulting from COVID-19 turmoil and worsened economic factors.
In connection with our adoption of CECL during the first nine monthsquarter of fiscal 2019)
The increase in the provision for loan losses was primarily due to the growth in average managed receivables as well as a slight increase in the allowance as a percentage of managed receivables.
The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of ending managed receivables was 1.15% as of November 30, 2019, compared with 1.12% as of November 30, 2018, and 1.10% as of February 28, 2019.
Net losses for both the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2020 remained well within our long-term targeted performance range.

2021, we recorded a $202.0 million increase in the allowance for loan losses on the first quarter opening balance sheet, with a corresponding decrease of $153.3 million, net of tax, in retained earnings.

Total interest margin increased slightly as a percentage(Increased to 6.0% of average managed receivables to 5.7% infor both the thirdsecond quarter of fiscal 2020 from 5.6% in the prior year quarter. Total interest margin remained flat at 5.7% of average managed receivables in theand first ninesix months of fiscal 2020.2021 from 5.7% for both the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2020)
The increase in the total interest margin percentage for both the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2021 was the result of lower funding costs.

Tier 3 Loan Originations.  CAF also originates a small portion of auto loans to customers who typically would be financed by our Tier 3 finance providers, in order to better understand the performance of these loans, mitigate risk and add incremental profits. Historically, CAF currently targetshas targeted originating approximately 5% of the total Tier 3 loan volume; however, this rate may vary over time based on market conditions. During the first quarter of fiscal 2021, we paused our CAF Tier 3 lending given the current economic outlook and uncertainty surrounding the COVID-19 outbreak. Subsequent to the end of the second quarter, we resumed our Tier 3 lending program. A total of $167.6$146.1 million and $162.4$167.5 million in CAF Tier 3 receivables were outstanding as of November 30, 2019August 31, 2020 and February 28, 2019,29, 2020, respectively.  These loans have higher loss and delinquency rates than the remainder of the CAF portfolio, as well as higher contract rates.  As of November 30, 2019August 31, 2020 and February 28, 2019,29, 2020, approximately 10% of the total allowance for loan losses related to the outstanding CAF Tier 3 loan balances.



PLANNED FUTURE ACTIVITIES
 
In the first quarter of fiscal 2021, we paused our store expansion strategy in response to the COVID-19 situation. We currently plan to open 13are resuming new store growth and anticipate opening between eight and ten stores in fiscal 2020 and a similar number of stores in fiscal 2021. In December 2019, we opened our Phoenix CEC. We currently estimate capital expenditures will total approximately $350 million in fiscal 2020.2022.

We currently plan to open the following stores within 12 months from November 30, 2019. During this period, we will be entering one new television market and expanding our presence in eight existing television markets. Of the 11 stores we plan to open during the 12 months ending November 30, 2020, 3 will be in Metropolitan Statistical Areas having populations of 600,000 or less, which we define as small markets. Normal construction, permitting or other scheduling delays could shift the opening dates of any of these stores into a later period.

FINANCIAL CONDITION
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources
OurHistorically, our primary ongoing cash requirements arehave been to fund our existing operations, store expansion and improvement and CAF. Since fiscal 2013, we have also elected to use cash for 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.

During the first quarter of fiscal 2021, in response to the COVID-19 crisis, we took immediate and proactive measures to bolster our liquidity position and provide additional financial flexibility to improve our ability to meet our short-term liquidity needs. Those measures included drawing down additional funds on our revolving credit facility, pausing our stock repurchase program, pausing our store expansion strategy and actively aligning operating expenses to the current state of the business. We strengthened our overall financial position by selling through inventory and quickly aligning costs to lower sales volumes. As demand increased during the second quarter, we were able to build our saleable inventory by more than 50% and successfully ramped up to target levels in September. Subsequent to the end of the second quarter, we fully paid down the outstanding balance on our revolving credit facility and resumed our store expansion strategy and share repurchase program. Our current capital allocation strategy is to remain focused on growing the business while maintaining an appropriate amount of caution given the uncertainty that remains in the economic environment. Given the turnaround in our business, the strength of the credit markets and our solid balance sheet, we believe we have the appropriate liquidity, access to capital and financial strength to support our operations and continue investing in our omni and digital initiatives for the foreseeable future.
We currently target an adjusted debt-to-total capital ratio in a range of 35% to 45%. Our adjusted debt to capital ratio was modestly below our targeted range for the second quarter of fiscal 2021, when netting out our accumulated cash of approximately $712 million. In calculating this ratio, we utilize total debt excluding non-recourse notes payable, finance lease liabilities, a multiple of eight times rent expense and total shareholders’ equity. WeGenerally, we expect to use our revolving credit facility and other financing sources, together with stock repurchases, to maintain this targeted ratio; however, in any period, we may be outside this range due to seasonal, market, strategic or other factors.

Operating Activities.  During the first ninesix months of fiscal 2020, net cash used in operating activities totaled $117.9 million, compared with2021, net cash provided by operating activities totaled $889.8 million, compared with cash used in operating activities of $114.6$125.5 million in the prior year period. Our operating cash flows are significantly impacted by changes in auto loans receivable, which decreased $188.6 million in the current year period compared with an increase of $721.2 million in the prior year period. 

The majority of the changes in auto loans receivable 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 $230.9 million in the current year period compared with net issuances of $606.1 million in the prior year period which included increases in auto loan receivables of $980.8 million in the current year period and $875.3 million in the prior year period.  The majority of the increases in auto loan receivables are accompanied by increases in non-recourse notes payable, which are separately reflected as cash from financing activities. Due to the presentation differences between auto loans receivable and non-recourse notes payable on the consolidated statements of cash flows, fluctuations in these amounts can have a significant impact on our operating and financing cash flows without affecting our overall liquidity, working capital or cash flows.

As of November 30, 2019,August 31, 2020, total inventory was $2.68$2.82 billion, representing an increasea decrease of $163.1$21.5 million or 6.5%, compared with the balance as of the start of the fiscal year.  The decrease was primarily due to a decline in vehicle units reflecting the seasonal pattern in inventory levels. The decrease in units was partially offset by an increase primarily reflected a higherin the average carrying cost of inventory due to an increase inas a result of higher acquisition costs, and changesdriven by market appreciation.

The change in our vehicle mix, as well as increased inventory to support store openings and our comparable store sales growth in fiscal 2020. In addition, we typically build inventories in the late fall in order to take advantage of seasonal sales opportunities.

When considering cash from operating activities, management uses an adjusted measure of net cash from operating activities that offsets the changes in auto loan receivables with the corresponding changes in non-recourse notes payable.  This is achieved by adding back the cash provided from the net issuances of non-recourse notes payable, which represents the increase in auto loan receivables that were funded through the issuance of non-recourse notes payable during the period.  The resulting financial measure, adjusted net cash from operating activities, is a non-GAAP financial measure.  We believe adjusted net cash from operating activities is a meaningful metric for investors because it provides better visibility into the cash generated from operations.  Including the increases in non-recourse notes payable, net cash provided by operating activities would have been as follows:

Adjusted net cash provided by(used in) operating activities for the first ninesix months of the current fiscal year decreased compared with the prior year period primarily due toreflected the changes in auto loans receivable and inventory, as discussed above, timing and use of non-recourse funding vehicles in relation to originations of auto loan receivables, and timing-related changes to accounts receivable and other current assets and accounts payable, partially offset by an increasea decrease in net earnings when excluding non-cash expenses, which include depreciation and amortization, share-based compensation expense and the provisions for loan losses and cancellation reserves.

Investing Activities. During the first ninesix months of the fiscal year, net cash used in investing activities totaled $256.6$92.4 million in fiscal 20202021 compared with $247.0$178.9 million in fiscal 2019.2020.  Capital expenditures were $249.2$92.0 million in the current year period versus $243.3$171.3 million in the prior year period.  Capital expenditures primarily included store construction costs real estate acquisitions for planned future store openings, and store remodeling expenses.  We maintain a multi-year pipeline of sites to support our store growth, so portions of capital spending in one year may relate to stores that we open in subsequent fiscal years. In response to COVID-19, we paused our store expansion and remodel strategy during the first quarter of fiscal 2021.

As of November 30, 2019, 135August 31, 2020, 141 of our 213220 used car stores were located on owned sites and 7879 were located on leased sites, including 2223 land-only leases and 56 land and building leases.


 
Financing Activities.  During the first ninesix months of fiscal 2020,2021, net cash used in financing activities totaled $86.0 million compared with net cash provided by financing activities totaled $409.1 million compared with $146.8of $346.6 million in the prior year period.  Included in these amounts were net increases in totalpayments on non-recourse notes payable of $785.0$230.9 million and $748.4compared with net issuances of non-recourse notes payable of $606.1 million respectively, which werein the prior year period. Non-recourse notes payable are typically used to provide the financing for the majority of the increases of $980.8 million and $875.3 million, respectively,fund changes in auto loan receivablesloans receivable (see “Operating Activities”).

During the first ninesix months of fiscal 2021, cash used in financing activities was impacted by stock repurchases of $54.2 million as well as net borrowings on our long-term debt of $117.4 million. During the first six months of fiscal 2020, cash provided by financing activities was impacted by stock repurchases of $458.6$341.9 million as well as net borrowings on our long-term debt of $4.7 million. During the first nine months of fiscal 2019, cash provided by financing activities was impacted by stock repurchases of $633.2 million as well as net repayments on our long-term debt of $10.4$8.6 million.

Borrowings under our $1.45 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, 2020, 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 loan receivablesloans receivable 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 loan receivables,loans receivable, 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 receivables, the amounts on deposit in reserve accounts and the restricted cash from collections on auto loan receivables.loans receivable.  We do, however, continue to have the rights associated with the interest we retain in these non-recourse funding vehicles. 
 
As of November 30, 2019, $11.01August 31, 2020, $11.13 billion and $2.31$2.25 billion of non-recourse notes payable were outstanding related to asset-backed term funding transactions and our warehouse facilities, respectively.  During the first ninesix months of fiscal 2020,2021, we funded a total of $4.37$2.50 billion in asset-backed term funding transactions.  As of August 31, 2020, we had $1.25 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. 
Page 41


We generally repurchase the receivables 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, covenants and performance triggers.  If these requirements are not met, we could be unable to continue to fund receivables 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 receivables with the warehouse facility agents on a daily basis and deliver executed lockbox agreements to the warehouse facility agents. 
We expect that adjusted net cash provided by operations, borrowings under existing, new or expanded credit facilities and other funding arrangements will be sufficient to fund CAF, capital expenditures, repurchases of stock and working capital for the foreseeable future.  We anticipate that we will be able to enter into new, or renew or expand existing, funding arrangements to meet our future funding needs.  However, based on conditions in the credit markets, the cost for these arrangements could be materially higher than historical levels and the timing and capacity of these transactions could be dictated by market availability rather than our requirements.

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 November 30, 2019,August 31, 2020, a total of $2 billion of board authorizations for repurchases werewas outstanding, with no expiration date, of which $1.67$1.51 billion remained available for repurchase. In March 2020, our current stock repurchase program was suspended. The repurchase authorization remained effective and the program resumed in September 2020. See Note 10 for more information on share repurchase activity.

We recognize money market securities, mutual fund investments and derivative instruments at fair value.  See Note 6 for more information on fair value measurements.
