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. 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. On June 1, 2021, we completed the acquisition of Edmunds Holding Company (“Edmunds”), which does not meet the quantitative thresholds to be considered a reportable segment.See Note 17 for additional information on our reportable segments and Note 2 for additional information regarding our acquisition of Edmunds.

We deliver an unrivaled customer experience by offering a broad selection of quality used vehicles and related products and services at competitive, no-haggle prices using a customer-friendly sales process.  Our omni-channel experience,platform, which gives us the largest addressable market in the used car industry, empowers our retail customers to buy a car on their terms – online, in-store or a seamless combination 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 contactless curbsideexpress pickup, available nationwide, or home delivery, available to most customers. We offer customers 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 29, 202028, 2021 (the “2020“2021 Annual Report”), with the exception of those related to recent accounting pronouncements adopted in the current fiscal 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”).year. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and footnotes included in the 2020our 2021 Annual Report and the unaudited consolidated financial statements and footnotes included in the first quarter 2021 10-Q.Report.
 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.  In particular, the novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic and the resultingcontinues to have an adverse impacts toimpact on global economic conditions as well as our operations,and 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.

Depreciation and amortization previously included in selling, general, and administrative expenses is now separately presented on the consolidated statements of earnings. Prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period’s presentation. Depreciation and amortization related to other areas of our business, including cost of sales and CAF, is included in its respective line item on the consolidated statements of earnings. Certain other prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year’s presentation.  Amounts and percentages may not total due to rounding.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements.

Effective in Future Periods
In October 2021, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued an accounting pronouncement (ASU 2021-08) related to accounting for acquired revenue contracts with customers in a business combination. The amendments in this update address diversity in practice and inconsistency related to recognition of an acquired contract liability and the effect of payment terms on subsequent revenue recognition for the acquirer. This update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. We plan to adopt this pronouncement for our fiscal year beginning March 1, 2023, and we do not expect it to have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

In November 2021, the FASB issued an accounting pronouncement (ASU 2021-10) related to government assistance disclosures. The amendments in this update increase the transparency surrounding government assistance by requiring disclosure of 1) the types of assistance received, 2) an entity’s accounting for the assistance, and 3) the effect of the assistance on the entity’s financial statements. The update is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2021. We plan to adopt this pronouncement for our fiscal year beginning March 1, 2022, and we do not expect it to have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

2. Acquisition of Edmunds

On June 1, 2021, we completed the acquisition of Edmunds Holding Company, one of the most well established and trusted online guides for automotive information and a recognized leader in digital car shopping innovations. With this acquisition, CarMax has enhanced its digital capabilities and further strengthened its role and reach across the used auto ecosystem while adding exceptional technology and creative talent. Edmunds continues to operate independently and remains focused on delivering confidence to consumers and excellent value to its dealer and OEM clients. Additionally, this acquisition allows both businesses to accelerate their respective capabilities to deliver an enhanced digital experience to their customers by leveraging Edmunds’ compelling content and technology, CarMax’s unparalleled national scale and infrastructure, and the combined talent of both businesses.

The acquisition was accounted for in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 805, Business Combinations, and, accordingly, Edmunds’ results of operations have been consolidated in our financial statements since the date of acquisition. We recorded a preliminary allocation of the purchase price to assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values as of June 1, 2021. The transaction costs associated with the acquisition were approximately $8.0 million and were expensed as incurred within selling, general and administrative expenses.

The following table summarizes the total purchase consideration:

(In thousands)
Total cash consideration for outstanding shares$251,047 
Fair value of common stock (1)
90,571 
Fair value of preexisting relationship60,200 
Total$401,818 

(1)     Represents the issuance of 776,097 shares of CarMax common stock to Edmunds equity holders, the fair value of which was based on the market value of CarMax common stock as of market close on the acquisition date (June 1, 2021).

In January 2020, we acquired a minority stake in Edmunds for $50 million. The noncontrolling equity investment in Edmunds was remeasured at a fair value of $60.2 million prior to the acquisition of the remaining ownership stake on June 1, 2021, which resulted in the recognition of a gain of $8.7 million. The gain is included in other income in the consolidated statements of earnings.

Page 910


The following table summarizes the estimated preliminary fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of the acquisition and is subject to final fair value determination:

(In thousands)Fair Value
Cash$9,484 
Accounts receivable, net33,719 
Other current assets2,397 
Property and equipment, net20,741 
Goodwill (1)

Other assets191 
Total assets acquired523,040 
Accounts payable5,063 
Accrued expenses and other current liabilities11,277 
Current portion of operating lease liabilities12,795 
Deferred income taxes (1)
3,823 
Operating lease liabilities, excluding current portion88,264 
Total liabilities assumed121,222 
Net assets acquired$401,818 

(1)     During the third quarter of fiscal 2022, we obtained new information about facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date, which resulted in a change in the fair value of assets and liabilities recognized. The adjustments were primarily related to research and development tax credits, which resulted in a decrease in goodwill and a decrease in deferred income taxes of $8.4 million.

The excess of purchase consideration over the fair value of net identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed was recorded as goodwill, which is primarily attributed to expected synergies and the assembled workforce of the acquired business and is not deductible for tax purposes. The fair values assigned to the net identifiable assets and liabilities assumed are based on management’s estimates and assumptions and may be subject to change as additional information is received. The primary areas that remain preliminary relate to the fair values of intangible assets acquired, certain identifiable assets and liabilities acquired, and income and non-income based taxes and residual goodwill. We expect to finalize the valuation as soon as practicable, but not later than one year from the acquisition date.

Identifiable intangible assets were recognized at their estimated acquisition date fair values. The preliminary fair value of identifiable intangible assets was determined by using certain estimates and assumptions that are not observable in the market. The preliminary fair values of the trade name asset and the internally developed software asset were determined using the relief-from-royalty method, and the preliminary fair value of the customer relationships asset was determined using the excess earnings method. These income-based approaches included significant assumptions such as the amount and timing of projected cash flows, growth rates, customer attrition rates, discount rates, and the assessment of the asset’s life cycle. The preliminary estimated fair value and estimated remaining useful lives of identifiable intangible assets are as follows:

Preliminary
(In thousands)Useful Life (Years)Fair Value
Trade nameIndefinite$31,900 
Internally developed software752,900 
Customer relationships17133,200 
Identifiable intangible assets$218,000 

The operating results of Edmunds have been included in our consolidated financial statements since the date of the acquisition. Net sales and operating revenues and net earnings attributable to Edmunds were not material for the reporting periods presented. Our pro forma results as if the acquisition had taken place on the first day of fiscal 2021 would not be materially different from the amounts reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, and therefore are not presented.

2.3. 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,30-day/1,500 mile, money-back guarantee.  We record a reserve for estimated returns based on historical experience and trends. The reserve for estimated returns is presented gross on the consolidated balance sheets, with a return asset recorded in other current assets and a refund liability recorded in accrued expenses and other current liabilities. We also guarantee the used vehicles we sell with a 90-day/4,000 mile limited warranty. These warranties are deemed assurance-type warranties and are accounted for as warranty obligations. See Note 1516 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 78 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
Page 12


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, 20202021 and February 29, 2020, 028, 2021, no current or long-term contract asset was recognized related to cumulative profit-sharing payments to which we expect to be entitled.

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.

Advertising and Subscription Revenues. Advertising and subscription revenues consist of revenues earned by our Edmunds business. Advertising revenues are derived from advertising contracts with automotive manufacturers based on fixed fees per impression and fees for certain activities completed by customers on the manufacturers' websites. These fees are recognized in the period the impressions are delivered or certain activities occurred. Subscription revenues are derived from packages sold to automotive dealers that include car leads, inventory listings and enhanced placement in Edmunds' dealer locator and are recognized over the period that the services are made available to the dealers. Subscription revenues also include a digital marketing subscription service, which allows dealers to gain exposure on third party partner websites. Revenues for this service are recognized on a net basis.

Service Revenues. Service revenue consists of labor and parts income related to vehicle repair service, including repairs of vehicles covered under an ESP we sell or warranty program. Service revenue is recognized at the time the work is completed.

Other Revenues. Other revenues 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.

3.4. 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 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 loans 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 loans receivable, which are disclosed in Note 4,5, 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.

4.5. Auto Loans Receivable
 
Auto loans 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.  These auto loans represent a large group of smaller-balance homogeneous loans, which we consider to be part of one class of financing receivable and one portfolio segment for purposes of determining our allowance for loan losses. We generally use warehouse facilities to fund auto loans 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 loans 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 loans receivable and the related non-recourse notes payable on our consolidated balance sheets. The majority of the auto loans receivable serve as collateral for the related non-recourse notes payable of $13.62$15.42 billion as of November 30, 20202021 and $13.61$13.76 billion as of February 29, 2020.28, 2021. See Note 910 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 34 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 with the highest probability of repayment are A-grade customers. Customers assigned a lower grade are determined to have a lower probability of repayment.  For loans that are approved, the credit grade influences the terms of the agreement, such as the required loan-to-value ratio and interest rate. After origination, credit grades are generally not updated.

CAF uses a combination of the initial credit grades and historical performance to monitor the credit quality of the auto loans 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.

Allowance for Loan Losses.  The allowance for loan losses at November 30, 20202021 represents the net credit losses expected over the remaining contractual life of our managed 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 and recovery trends. ForDue to the fact that losses for receivables that havewith less than 18 months of performance history thecan be volatile, our net loss estimate takes into account the credit grades of the receivables andweights both historical losses by credit grade to supplementat origination and actual loss data on the receivables to-date, along with forward loss curves, 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, 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 net loss estimate is calculated by applying the loss rates developed using the methods described above to the amortized cost basis of the managed receivables.

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

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”). (3)    The adoption of this pronouncement resulted in the recognition of a $202.0 million increase in the allowance for loan losses primarily relates to estimated losses on CAF’s core receivables; $40.8 million and $31.8 million of the total allowance relates to the outstanding CAF Tier 3 loan balances as of March 1, 2020, with a corresponding net-of-tax decrease of $153.3 million in retained earnings. November 30, 2021 and February 28, 2021, respectively.
During the first nine months of fiscal 2021, we recorded a provision2022, the allowance for loan losses of $156.1 million. The first quarter provision of $122.0increased $15.4 million, included an increaseprimarily reflecting growth 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 significantlyreceivables, partially offset by favorable loan loss performance during the year. Although net charge-offs remained low in the first quarter. This rate is used innine months of fiscal 2022, the future impact of the COVID-19 environment on credit losses remains uncertain. As a result, we determined that the quantitative loss predictionrates should be qualitatively adjusted to incorporate how current and forecasted economic conditions impactreflect future loss performance from potential customer hardship or abilityand to pay.  Changes inmitigate the NADA used vehicle price index were not significant. During the second and third quartersquantitative impact of fiscal 2021, we experiencedrecent favorable loss performance, in comparison toas we do not believe the favorable loss performance this fiscal year is consistent with our loss expectations set at the end of the then previous quarter, resulting in favorable adjustments of $29.6 million and $55.8 million, respectively, for receivables then outstanding. These adjustments were more than offset by increases to the provision related to ourbest estimate of lifetime losses on originations of $55.6 million in the second quarter and $64.0 million in the third quarter. While we experienced some loss favorability during the second and third quarter of fiscal 2021, this favorability was tempered by economic adjustment factors and other qualitative considerations applied to the provision, particularly the uncertainty surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic.expected future losses. The allowance for loan losses as of November 30, 20202021 reflects both the positive customer payment behavior compared to historical experience recently observed as well as the unpredictability of the current environment and the uncertain consumer situation.macroeconomic environment.

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.

5.6. 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 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 $19.8$9.0 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 nine months ended November 30, 2020,2021, we recognized income of $0.1$3.4 million and a loss of $2.1$3.2 million, respectively, in CAF income representing these changes in fair value.
 
As of November 30, 20202021 and February 29, 2020,28, 2021, we had interest rate swaps outstanding with a combined notional amount of $2.41$4.03 billion and $2.62$2.43 billion, respectively, that were designated as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk. As of November 30, 2020,2021 and February 28, 2021, we had an interest rate swapswaps outstanding with a notional amountamounts of $0.17 billion outstanding$644.2 million and $255.2 million, respectively, that waswere not designated as a cash flow hedge.hedges.

6.7. Fair Value Measurements
 
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants in the principal market or, if none exists, the most advantageous market, for the specific asset or liability at the measurement date (referred to as the “exit price”).  The fair value should be based on assumptions that market participants would use, including a consideration of nonperformance risk.
 
We assess the inputs used to measure fair value using the three-tier hierarchy.  The hierarchy indicates the extent to which inputs used in measuring fair value are observable in the market.
 
Level 1     Inputs include unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that we can access at the measurement date.
 
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 3     Inputs that are significant to the measurement that are not observable in the market and include management’s judgments about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability (including assumptions about risk).

Our fair value processes include controls that are designed to ensure that fair values are appropriate.  Such controls include model validation, review of key model inputs, analysis of period-over-period fluctuations and reviews by senior management.

Valuation Methodologies
 
Money Market Securities.  Money market securities are cash equivalents, which are included in cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash from collections on auto loans 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 loans 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, 20202021 and February 29, 2020,28, 2021, respectively, are as follows:

7.8. 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 the credit mix of the customer base.

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

Revolving Credit Facility. Borrowings under our $1.45 billion unsecured revolving credit facility (the “credit facility”) are available for working capital and general corporate purposes. We pay a commitment fee on unused portions of the available funds. Borrowings under the credit facility are either due “on demand” or at maturity depending on the type of borrowing.  Borrowings with “on demand” repayment terms are presented as short-term debt, while amounts due at maturity are presented as long-term debt.  As of November 30, 2020,2021, the unused capacity of $1.45 billion$861.9 million was fully available to us. In December 2021, we exercised the accordion feature to increase the credit limit of this facility to $2.00 billion with no other material changes to the terms of the agreement.

Page 20


Term Loan.Loans. On October 15, 2021, we entered into a term loan agreement for an aggregate principal amount of $700 million, which will mature on October 15, 2026. Borrowings under both our $300 million and $700 million term loanloans are available for working capital and general corporate purposes. TheBoth term loan wasloans were classified as long-term debt, as no repayments are scheduled to be made within the next 12 months.   
Page 18


Senior Notes. Borrowings under our unsecured senior notes totaling $500 million are available for working capital and general corporate purposes. These notes were classified as long-term debt as no repayments are scheduled to be made within the next 12 months.
 
Financing Obligations.  Financing obligations relate to stores subject to sale-leaseback transactions that did not qualify for sale accounting.  The financing obligations were structured at varying interest rates and generally have initial lease terms ranging from 15 to 20 years with payments made monthly.  We have not entered into any new sale-leaseback transactions since fiscal 2009. In the event the agreements are modified or extended beyond their original term, the related obligation is adjusted based on the present value of the revised future payments, with a corresponding change to the assets subject to these transactions. Upon modification, the amortization of the obligation is reset, resulting in more of the payments being applied to interest expense in the initial years following the modification.
 
Non-Recourse Notes Payable.  The non-recourse notes payable relate to auto loans receivable funded through non-recourse funding vehicles.  The timing of principal payments on the non-recourse notes payable is based on the timing of principal collections and defaults on the related auto loans receivable. The current portion of non-recourse notes payable represents principal payments that are due to be distributed in the following period.
 
Notes payable related to our asset-backed term funding transactions accrue interest predominantly at fixed rates and have scheduled maturities through September 2027,August 2028, but may mature earlier, depending upon the repayment rate of the underlying auto loans receivable. 

Information on our funding vehicles for non-recourse notes payable as of November 30, 2020,2021, are as follows:

We generally enter into warehouse facility agreements for one-year terms and typically renew the agreements annually. The return requirements of warehouse facility investors could fluctuate significantly depending on market conditions.  At renewal, the cost, structure and capacity of the facilities could change.  These changes could have a significant impact on our funding costs.
 
See Note 45 for additional information on the related auto loans receivable.
 
Capitalized Interest.    We capitalize interest in connection with the construction of certain facilities.  For the nine months ended November 30, 20202021 and 2019,2020, we capitalized interest of $2.1$5.0 million and $5.0$2.1 million, respectively.
 
Financial Covenants.  The credit facility, term loanloans and senior note agreements contain representations and warranties, conditions and covenants.  We must also meet financial covenants in conjunction with certain financing obligations.  The agreements governing our non-recourse funding vehicles contain representations and warranties, financial covenants and performance triggers.  As of November 30, 2020,2021, we were in compliance with all financial covenants and our non-recourse funding vehicles were in compliance with the related performance triggers.

11.12. 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.

13.14. 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 9.10.
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.
The components of lease expense were as follows:

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.

As previously reported, the company has cooperated with representatives from multiple California municipality district attorney offices in an inquiry by those offices into the handling, storage and disposal of certain types of hazardous waste at our store locations in those municipalities. CarMax and the district attorney offices have reached a settlement agreement, which was entered and approved by the Superior Court of California, County of Orange on June 8, 2020.

Other Matters. In accordance with the terms of real estate lease agreements, we generally agree to indemnify the lessor from certain liabilities arising as a result of the use of the leased premises, including environmental liabilities and repairs to leased property upon termination of the lease.  Additionally, in accordance with the terms of agreements entered into for the sale of properties, we generally agree to indemnify the buyer from certain liabilities and costs arising subsequent to the date of the sale, including environmental liabilities and liabilities resulting from the breach of representations or warranties made in accordance with the agreements.  We do not have any known material environmental commitments, contingencies or other indemnification issues arising from these arrangements.

As part of our customer service strategy, we guarantee the used vehicles we retail with a 90-day/4,000 mile limited warranty.  A vehicle in need of repair within this period will be repaired free of charge.  As a result, each vehicle sold has an implied liability associated with it.  Accordingly, based on historical trends, we record a provision for estimated future repairs during the guarantee period for each vehicle sold.  The liability for this guarantee was $13.6$19.3 million as of November 30, 2020,2021, and $10.5$15.2 million as of February 29, 2020,28, 2021, and is included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities.

17. Segment Information

We operate in two reportable segments: CarMax Sales Operations and 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 also have a non-reportable operating segment related to our recently acquired Edmunds business, which is reflected as “Other” in the segment tables below. Revenue generated by Edmunds primarily represents advertising and subscription revenues as discussed in Note 3. Edmunds also generates intersegment revenue as a result of transactions between Edmunds and CarMax Sales Operations, which represent arm’s length transactions at prevailing market prices. Such amounts are eliminated in consolidation.

The performance of our CarMax Sales Operations segment is reviewed by our chief operating decision maker at the gross profit level, the components of which are presented in the tables below. Required segment information related to our CAF segment is presented in Note 4. Additionally, asset information by segment is not utilized for purposes of assessing performance or allocating resources and, as a result, such information has not been presented.

ITEM 2.
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (“MD&A”) is provided as a supplement to, and should be read in conjunction with, our audited consolidated financial statements, the accompanying notes and the MD&A included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 29, 202028, 2021 (“fiscal 2020”2021”), 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. Our consolidated financial statements include the financial results related to our Edmunds Holding Company (“Edmunds”) business, which does not meet the definition of a reportable segment. For purposes of our MD&A discussion, amounts related to that business are discussed in combination with our CarMax Sales Operations segment. Separate discussion of these amounts is not considered meaningful for the purpose of gaining an understanding of our business, as the significant drivers of these operations in total are consistent with those of our CarMax Sales Operations segment. Where appropriate, specific amounts related to non-reportable segments have been disclosed for informational purposes.
 
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 omni-channel experience,platform, which gives us the largest addressable market in the used car industry, empowers our retail customers to buy a car on their terms – online, in-store or a seamless combination 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 contactless curbsideexpress pickup, available nationwide, or home delivery, available to 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, 2020,2021, we operated 220226 used car stores in 106107 U.S. television markets, as well as 2 new car franchises.markets. As of that date, wholesale auctions previously held at 74 of our used car stores were being conducted virtually. During the third quarter of fiscal 2022, we sold our remaining new car franchise.
 
CarMax Auto Finance
In addition to third-party finance providers, we provide vehicle financing through CAF, which offers financing solely to customers buying retail vehicles from CarMax.  CAF allows us to manage our reliance on third-party finance providers and to leverage knowledge of our business to provide qualifying customers a competitive financing option.  As a result, we believe CAF enables us to capture additional profits, cash flows and sales.  CAF income primarily reflects the interest and fee income generated by the auto loans 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 42.1%43.0% of our retail used vehicle unit sales in the first nine months of fiscal 2021.2022.  As of November 30, 2020,2021, CAF serviced approximately 1,041,0001,090,000 customer accounts in its $13.64$15.52 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 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. We provided associates with at least 14 days of pay continuity upon store
Page 2730


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. During the first half of fiscal 2021, we spent approximately $30 million supporting associates impacted by COVID-19, store closures and furloughs.

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.

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.

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 into September. However, as the election approached and there was another surge in COVID-19 cases, which resulted in tightened occupancy restrictions and shelter-in-place orders from state and local governments, we saw demand soften. As a result, sales trended down in the latter part of the third quarter. This trend continued into the first two weeks of December, with same store sales down approximately 4% versus the prior year. We believe the trends experienced in the latter part of the quarter and into December are shorter-term in nature.

As of the end of December 2020, approximately half of our stores have occupancy restrictions in place due to state and local government mandates. Of these, more than 40 stores had mandates limiting capacity to 25% or less. Despite the challenges associated with the COVID-19 pandemic, our omni-channel experience is allowing customers to connect and transact with us in more ways than ever. We have seen a favorable response to our omni-channel experience with the majority of customers progressing more of their transactions online.

The impact of COVID-19 on CAF loan origination volume has been consistent with our retail sales performance noted above. Beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2021, 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 nine 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.

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 outbreak are uncertain, and we are unable to determine the full impact that social distancing protocols, the availability and efficacy of vaccines, 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.

As noted on the December 22, 2021 earnings call, we were pleased with our performance during the third quarter of fiscal 2022 and into the fourth quarter through that date. Refer to “Results of Operations” for further details on our revenues and profitability.

In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of the novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) as a global pandemic. Throughout fiscal 2021, many U.S. states and localities had shelter-in-place orders and occupancy restrictions, impacting the operations of our stores and consumer demand. As a result, our fiscal 2021 results were significantly impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, primarily during the first quarter.

Although the immediate impact of COVID-19 has subsided, uncertainty continues. During the first nine months of fiscal 2022, states and localities were in the midst of a vaccine distribution program and easing certain state-mandated restrictions; however, the continued spread and impact of COVID-19 persists, particularly as it relates to the emergence of new variants of the virus. 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, communities and shareholders.
Liquidity
Our primary ongoing sources of liquidity include funds provided by operations, proceeds from non-recourse funding vehicles, and borrowings under our revolving credit facility or through other financing sources.  In addition to funding our operations,

this liquidity was used to fund the repurchase of common stock under our share repurchase program, and our store growth. growth and the Edmunds acquisition, which was completed during the second quarter of fiscal 2022.

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.

As previously disclosed, in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, 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 fundsfocus on our revolving credit facility, pausing our stock repurchase program, pausingcore business, including investing in digital capabilities and the strategic expansion of our store expansion strategyfootprint, pursue new growth opportunities through investments, partnerships and remodelsacquisitions and actively aligning operating expensesreturn excess capital 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. We have continued to adjust inventory levels throughout the pandemic to align with sales trends. During the third quarter, we fully paid down the outstanding balance on our revolving credit facility and resumed our store expansion strategy and share repurchase program.shareholders. Given the turnaroundyear-over-year improvement in our business and overall macroeconomic conditions, 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 digitalstrategic initiatives for the foreseeable future.
 
Strategic Update and Future Outlook
The COVID-19 pandemic has created an unprecedentedSince completing our omni-channel rollout in the second quarter of fiscal 2021, we now have a common platform across all of CarMax that leverages our scale, nationwide footprint and challenging time. As discussed above, we have taken several stepsinfrastructure and empowers our customers to ensurebuy a strong liquidity position and enable our stores to operate amidst the current health and safety concerns. We will continue to monitor the ongoing effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and make any further decisions necessary to position the company for a strong recovery as we emerge from this crisis.

Customers are seeking safety, personalization and convenience in how they shop for and buy a vehicle more than ever. Our omni-channel experienceplatform 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.

We completed

With the completion of our omni-channel platform rollout, in the second quarter of fiscal 2021. We now have a common platform across all of CarMax that leverages our scale, nationwide footprint and infrastructure and empowers our customers to buy a vehicle on their terms. Wewe are now focusing our efforts on optimizing and enhancing the customer experience. In particular, we are focused on completing the roll out of our self-service for all components of the sale and plan to deliver significant improvements over the next two quarters. We are on track for mostexperience. Currently, more than two-thirds of our customers are eligible to have the ability to buy a vehiclecomplete an online retail sale independently if they choose, byup from slightly more than 50% in the middleprevious quarter. In the third quarter of next fiscal year.

We first launched2022, online retail sales accounted for 9% of retail unit sales, consistent with the previous quarter and up from 5% in the prior year quarter. An online retail sale is defined as a sale where the customer completes all four of the following activities remotely: reserving the vehicle; financing the vehicle, if needed; trading-in or opting out of a trade-in; and creating an online sales order. Omni sales, defined as sales where customers complete at least one of the four activities listed above online, represented approximately 57% of retail sales, up from 55% in the previous quarter and 49% in the prior year quarter. The growing rate of customer adoption versus the prior year reinforces our belief in our omni-channel experience instrategy.
Revenue from online transactions, defined as revenue from retail sales that qualify as an online retail sale, as well as any related EPP and third-party finance contribution, wholesale sales where the Atlanta market in December 2018. Now, two years later after continued testing on pricingwinning bid was taken from an online bid and advertising, our omni-channel experience is delivering sustained growth in this competitive market. The Atlanta market has outperformed the company with high single-digit comparable used unit salesall revenue earned by Edmunds, was $2.5 billion, or approximately 30% of net revenues in the third quarter of fiscal 2021 and two-year stacked comparable used unit sales of approximately 20%. In addition, the number of alternative deliveries2022, up from 28% in the Atlanta market, including curbside pickupprevious quarter and home delivery, has increased by 45% when compared with20% in the prior year quarter.
We continue to see success from our online instant appraisal offer, which quickly provides customers an offer on their vehicle. This innovative experience allowed us to purchase approximately 194,000 vehicles online from consumers during the third quarter although this remains a small portionof fiscal 2022, representing approximately half of our overall sales.total buys from consumers. The buy rate for customers who engage with us after first receiving an online instant appraisal offer is typically higher than through our traditional appraisal

lane. This offering supports our belief that we have become and are further expanding our position as the largest online buyer of used vehicles from consumers in the US.

BuildingHistorically, our annual self-sufficiency rate has been between 36% and 41%. For the first quarter of fiscal 2022, our self-sufficiency rate was between 45% and 50%, and for both the second and third quarter of fiscal 2022 we achieved record self-sufficiency rates above 70%. In the third quarter of fiscal 2022, total vehicles purchased from consumers was approximately 383,000, a 5% increase versus the prior quarter and a 91% increase versus the prior year quarter, strengthening our leadership position as the largest used vehicle buyer from consumers.

At the end of the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021, we also launched a financing offer product in our online checkout process. With this enhancement, eligible customers can apply and accept finance offers without needing the assistance of an associate to submit a credit application over the phone or in store; we continue to enhance and further expand this product. Nearly 65% of our finance customers start their loan process online with a pre-approval application. In the third quarter, we expanded our finance based shopping capability, which enables our customers to see personalized finance terms from multiple lenders across the full inventory of vehicles on our experiences inwebsite. This experience is currently available to approximately 75% of our customers and we are working towards adding the Atlanta market, ourremaining customers and integrating additional lenders to this experience.

Our strategic investments in the near term will focus on our customer experience, vehicle acquisition and marketing. As we continue enhancing our online experience and offerings, we believe it is important to educate customers onabout our omni-channel experienceplatform and to differentiate and elevate our brand. We haveDuring the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021, we introduced the next phase of our national multi-media marketing campaign that began last year, and we plancampaign. As a result, marketing spend increased year-over-year in the first nine months of fiscal 2022. We expect our marketing spend to increase our year-over-year marketing spendremain elevated for the remainder of fiscal 2022 with per unit expenses similar to those experienced in the second half of fiscal 2021. ForWe believe we are well positioned to gain market share through the promotion of our omni-channel platform and new product offerings such as our Love Your Car Guarantee.
Our strategic investments include the acquisition of Edmunds, which we completed on June 1, 2021. The acquisition was the first in CarMax history, and added one of the most well established and trusted online guides for automotive information and a recognized industry leader in digital car shopping innovations to the CarMax family. With this acquisition, CarMax has enhanced its digital capabilities and further strengthened its role and reach across the used auto ecosystem while adding exceptional technology and creative talent. Edmunds continues to operate independently and remains focused on delivering confidence to consumers and excellent value to its dealer and OEM clients. Additionally, this acquisition allows both businesses to accelerate their respective capabilities to deliver an enhanced digital experience to their customers by leveraging Edmunds’ compelling content and technology, CarMax's unparalleled national scale and infrastructure, and the combined talent of both businesses. Edmunds has been slightly accretive to our profitability since the acquisition. We expect Edmunds’ financial results to have an immaterial impact to CarMax’s earnings per share in fiscal 2021,2022, with potential for significant shareholder value creation over the longer term.
In order to execute our long-term strategy, we anticipate advertisingplan to continue to invest in various strategic initiatives to increase innovation, specifically with regards to customer-facing and customer-enabling technologies, as well as marketing. We are also focused on ensuring we are efficient in our spend, willtargeting specific areas where we expect to achieve more efficiencies and leverage, such as our CECs. 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 approximately $25 million compared with fiscal 2020.

Our long-term strategy continues to be focused on completingOver the rolloutnext five years, we expect our diversified model, the scale of our retail conceptoperations, our investments and improving and enhancing our omni-channel experience, withstrategy to provide a solid foundation for further growth. As such, we have set the goal of increasing ourfollowing long-term targets, which we are currently on track to achieve:
Grow national market share of 0- to 10-year old vehicles to more than 5% by the end of calendar year 2025.
Sell two million used vehicle unit salesvehicles per year by fiscal 2026 through our retail and wholesale channels combined.
Generate net revenue of approximately $33 billion 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, over the long term, used vehicle unit sales are the primary driver for earnings growth. We also believe increased used vehicle unit sales will drive increased sales of wholesale vehicles and ancillary products and, over time, increased CAF income.fiscal 2026.

In calendar 2019,2020, we estimate we sold approximately 4.7%4.3% of the age 0- to 10-year old vehicles sold in the comparable store markets in which we were operating and approximately 3.5% of the age 0- to 10-year old vehicles sold on a nationwide basis. Our strategy to increase our market share and achieve our other long-term targets includes focusing on:

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 outreduce waste.
Leveraging data and advanced analytics to continuously improve the customer experience as well as our processes and systems.

In orderUtilizing advertising to executeeducate customers about our long-term strategy, we have invested in various strategic initiativesomni-channel platform and to increase innovation, specifically with regards to customer-facingdifferentiate and customer-enabling technologies. We are also developing and implementing tools that helpelevate our associates be more efficient and effective. Additionally, we have centralized customer support in our CECs, which we believe provides a more seamless combination 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. While in any individual period conditions may vary, 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 range of 5% to 8% on an annual basis. While we continue to invest in our growth initiatives, we will continue to act on opportunities to become leaner, more agile and a more cost-effective organization over the long term.brand.

As of November 30, 2020,2021, we had used car stores located in 106107 U.S. television markets, which covered approximately 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 nine months of fiscal 2021,2022, we opened six stores, and during the remainder of the fiscal year we plan to open 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 in fiscal 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 nine months of fiscal 2021,2022, we opened foursix stores all in existing television markets (Tampa,(Miami, FL; Philadelphia, PA; New Orleans, LA; andTampa, FL; Gainesville, FL; Los Angeles, CA)CA; Greenville, NC; and Springfield, MO)

Used Vehicle Sales.  The 4.5%52.9% increase in used vehicle revenues in the third quarter of fiscal 20212022 was primarily driven by a 3.3%16.9% increase in used unit sales and a 30.8% increase in average retail selling price. This increase largely reflected higher vehicle acquisition costs resulting from strong wholesale industry valuations. The increase in used units included a 15.8% increase in comparable store used unit sales. For the first nine months of fiscal 2022, used vehicle revenues was also due toincreased 64.2%, driven by a 1.0%33.5% increase in used unit sales driven by sales from newer stores not yetand a 23.3% increase in average selling price. The increase in used units included a 32.5% increase in the comparable store base. Comparableused unit sales. Online retail sales, as defined previously, accounted for 9% of used unit sales for both the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2022, compared with 5% and 4% for the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2021, respectively.

We believe our strong comparable store used unit sales declined 0.8% ingrowth for both the third quarter. During thequarter and first partnine months of the quarter, we achieved mid-single digit comparable store sales growth, continuing the positive momentum from the second quarter. However,fiscal 2022 was driven by solid execution, growing demand softenedfor our online offerings and sales trended down in the latter part of the quarter. We believe the surge in COVID-19 cases, which constrained demandmacroeconomic factors. Ramping inventory and tightened occupancy restrictions and shelter-in-place orders from state and local governments,staffing levels during fiscal 2022 as well as the uncertainty around the election and future stimulus programs,continued success of vehicle sourcing directly from consumers were some of the factors that impacted sales during this time.

The 11.9% decrease in used vehicle revenues inalso contributing factors. Our results for the first nine months of fiscal 2021 was primarily due to a 12.6% decrease in used unit sales, drivenwere significantly impacted by the decline in the first quarter. The decrease in used units included a 14.8% decrease in comparable store used unit sales. This reflected the combined effects of COVID-19, related store closures and restrictions on operations, as well as reduced customer traffic resulting from the economic impact of the pandemic and nationwide shelter-in-place orders, primarily during the first quarter as well as the latter part of the third quarter of fiscal 2021. quarter.

The increase in average retail selling price in both the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 20212022 reflected higher vehicle acquisition costs driven by market appreciation, partially offset by shifts in the mix of our sales by vehicle age.appreciation.

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 comprised of vehicles purchased through our appraisal process that do not meet our retail standards. Our wholesale auction prices usually reflect trends in the general wholesale market for the types of vehicles we sell, although they can also be affected by changes in vehicle mix or the average age, mileage or condition of the vehicles being sold. During fiscal 2021, oOurur wholesale auctions were moved to an online format in response to the COVID-19 pandemic and continue to operate completely online.

The 35.6%132.1% increase in wholesale vehicle revenues in the third quarter of fiscal 20212022 was primarily due to a 23.0%48.5% increase in unit sales as well as a 58.4% increase in average selling priceprice. For the first nine months of fiscal 2022, wholesale vehicle revenues increased 151.1%, driven by a 72.7% increase in unit sales as well as a 10.8%46.9% increase in average selling price. The wholesale unit sales.growth for both the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2022 was largely driven by increased appraisal volume from online offerings and an increased appraisal buy rate aided by macroeconomic factors. The increase in average selling price was primarily due to increased acquisition costs. The wholesale unit growth was largely driven by a record third quarter appraisal buy rate, partially offset by lower appraisal traffic.

The 2.0% increaseselling price in wholesale vehicle revenues inboth the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2021 was primarily due to a 14.6% increase in average selling price, partially offset by a 10.7% decline in unit sales, driven by the first quarter decline. The increase in average selling price2022 was primarily due to increased acquisition costs driven by market appreciation. The decline in wholesale units was largely driven by lower appraisal traffic, partially offset by an increase in our appraisal buy rate.

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, advertising and subscription revenues earned by our Edmunds business, 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.

EPP revenues increased 4.8%, largely reflectingnew vehicles sales.

The decline in new car sales was driven by the divestiture of our remaining new car franchises since the third quarter of fiscal 2021.

Seasonality.  Historically, our business has been seasonal.  Our stores typically experience their strongest traffic and sales in the spring and summer, with an increase in traffic and sales in February and March, coinciding with federal income tax refund season. Sales are typically slowest in the fall.  In fiscal 2021, traffic and sales were impacted by COVID-19 during periods of the year when we have historically experienced strong traffic and sales, and it remains unclear how the continuing impact of COVID-19, including the emergence of new variants, will affect the seasonality of our business.

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. Gross profit per used unit is consistent across our omni-channel platform.

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 profitgenerally have a lower cost per unit compared with vehicles purchased at auction or through other channels.channels, which may generate more gross profit per unit. We monitor macroeconomic factors and pricing elasticity and adjust our pricing accordingly to optimize unit sales and profitability while also maintaining a competitively priced inventory.

DuringWith used car prices at all time highs, we chose to pass along the first quartermajority of fiscal 2021, our used vehicle gross profit per unit was pressuredself-sufficiency driven acquisition cost savings to consumers by pricing adjustments madeway of lower prices to better align inventory levels with sales in response to COVID-19.

We believe we can manage to amake our vehicles more accessible, while balancing targeted gross profit per unit dollar range, subject to future changes to our business or pricing strategy. In combination with the improvements and enhancements we are making to our omni-channel experience, we are also implementing pricing and marketing tests in select markets during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021. While we expect gross profit per used unit for the fourth quarter to continue to be above $2,000, we anticipate the year over year change in this metric will be larger than what we have experienced in recent years.margin increases.

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 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 second quarter, depreciation had returned to the wholesale market, and steep depreciation continued during the third quarter.

Other Gross Profit.  Other gross profit includes profits related to EPP revenues, net third-party finance fees, advertising and subscription profits earned by our Edmunds business, and other revenues. Other revenues are predominantly comprised of service department operations, including used vehicle reconditioning, 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 increased 5.0%17.9% in the third quarter of fiscal 2021,2022, reflecting the addition of Edmunds' gross profit, favorability in net third-party finance fees, as discussed above, and an increase in EPP revenues, partially offset by a decline in service department profits. The increase in EPP revenues reflected the increase in EPP revenues. our retail unit volume, largely offset by an unfavorable year-over-year change in cancellation reserves. The decline in service department profits was the result of our efforts to support our higher level of retail sales, including growing technician staffing and shifting retail service capacity to support vehicle reconditioning. Service department profits versus the prior year improved in each month during the quarter, and we anticipate that results will continue to improve into the fourth quarter.

Other gross profit decreased 23.2%increased 47.7% in the first nine months of fiscal 2021,2022, reflecting a declinethe growth in service department profitsEPP revenues and EPP revenues. Service resultsreduction in the first nine months of fiscal 2021 reflected the overhead deleverage resulting from our decline in used car sales, driven by the decline in the first quarter,net third-party finance fees, as discussed above, as well as pay continuity for our technicians and other service personnel during periodsthe addition of reduced vehicle reconditioning activity in the first quarter. Service results for the nine-month period also continued to be adversely affected by the increase in our post-sale warranty period from 30 to 90 days implemented in 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 andEdmunds' 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.profit.

Our intention is to lever SG&A as a percentage of gross profit for both the full year and fourth quarter of fiscal 2022.

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 decreased to $19.5of $24.3 million and $67.2 million in the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2021 compared2022, respectively, was relatively consistent with $21.8$19.5 million and $65.9 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2020. The decrease primarily reflected a lower outstanding revolver balance in the current quarter as well as lower interest rates. Interest expense increased to $65.9 million in theand first nine months of fiscal 2021, from $60.7respectively.

Other (Income) Expense. Other income was $8.1 million and $35.5 million in the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2020.2022, respectively, compared with $0.9 million and expense of $0.7 million in the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2021, respectively. The increase for the nine-month period was primarily reflected increased expense for our financing obligations and finance leases as well as a higher outstanding average revolver balance in the current year period, partially offset by lower interest rates.due to net gains on an equity investment recorded during fiscal 2022.

Income Taxes.  The effective income tax rate was 24.3% in the third quarter of fiscal 2022 and 23.2% in the first nine months of fiscal 2022 versus 24.2% in the third quarter of fiscal 2021 and 23.6% in the first nine months of fiscal 2021 versus 23.9% in the third quarter of fiscal 2020 and 23.8% in the first nine months of fiscal 2020.2021.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS – CARMAX AUTO FINANCE
 
CAF income primarily reflects interest and fee income generated by CAF’s portfolio of auto loans 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. Increases 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 changes in loss and delinquency experience and economic factors on our outlook for net losses expected to occur over the 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. Historically, we have strivedsought to originate loans with an underlying risk profile that we believe will, in the aggregate and excluding CAF’s Tier 2 and 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)COVID-19) 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 continue 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.   Loans originated in a given fiscal period impact CAF income over time, as we recognize income over the life of the underlying auto 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 34 for additional information on CAF income and Note 45 for information on auto loans receivable, including credit quality.

The2022 reflects an increase in CAF income reflects a decrease in the provision for loan losses, as well aspartially offset by increases in the total interest margin percentage and average managed receivables.
The increase in net loan originations largely resulted from the increase in CAF’s net penetration rate.

The increase in CAF income2022 reflects increases in the total interest margin percentage and average managed receivables partially offset by an increaseas well as a decrease in the provision for loan losses.
During the third quarter of fiscal 2022, CAF completed the conversion of its auto-loan servicing system, resulting in approximately $5 million of conversion-related costs incurred during the quarter.
The decreaseincrease in net loan originations largelyin both the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2022 resulted from an increase in the average amount financed as well as our used vehicleunit sales decline, driven by the decline in the first quarter.growth.

Provision for Loan Losses (Decrease of $40.8($76.2 million and $87.3 million in the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2021)2022, respectively, compared with $8.2 million and $156.1 million in the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2021, respectively)    
The decrease incurrent quarter provision primarily reflected the expected lifetime losses on loans originated during the quarter, while the prior year quarter provision for loan lossesreflected the continued reduction of the reserve that was primarily due to favorable loss experience in comparison to our loss expectations setestablished at the endstart of the COVID-19 pandemic. This reduction continued into the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021 as well as the first quarter and, to a lesser extent, the second quarter resulting in a $55.8 million favorable adjustment for receivables then outstanding.of fiscal 2022.
This adjustment was more than offset by a $64.0 million increase to the provision related to our estimate of lifetime losses on originations during the third quarter.
While we experienced some loss favorability during the third quarter, this favorability was tempered by economic adjustment factors applied to the provision. The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of ending managed receivables was 2.75% as of November 30, 2021, compared with 3.17% as of November 30, 2020 reflects the unpredictabilityand 2.66% as of the current environment and the highly uncertain consumer situation.

The current quarter provision largely reflectedalso included a     six basis point adjustment for added Tier 2 and Tier 3 originations. The adjustment was primarily driven by the implementation of our initial estimate of lifetime losses on loans originated in each quarter of the current fiscal year.Tier 2 origination test described below.
The change in the provision also included an increase in our estimate of lifetime losses madefor the nine-month period was primarily driven by reserve increases during the first quarter of fiscal 2021 largelyassociated with deterioration in the macroeconomic environment resulting from the COVID-19 turmoil and worsened economic factors, which was largely offset by favorable loss experience in comparison to our expectations during the second and third quarters.pandemic.

The increase in the total interest margin percentage for both the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2021 was primarily the result of lower funding costs.
The increase in the weighted average contract rate for the third quarter of fiscal 2021 was primarily driven by changes in customer mix.costs as well as higher interest and fees from consumers.

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 has targeted originating approximately 5% of the total Tier 3 loan volume; however, this rate may vary over time based on market conditions.volume. During the first quarter of fiscal 2021,2022, we paused our CAF Tier 3 lending given the current economic outlook and uncertainty surrounding the COVID-19 outbreak. Early in the third quarter, we resumedbegan to increase our Tier 3 loan volume beyond our target of 5% of total Tier 3 loan volume to 10% by the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2022. Additionally, in the second quarter of fiscal 2022 CAF began to test loan originations in the Tier 2 space. Any future adjustments in Tier 2 and Tier 3 will consider the broader lending program.environment along with the long-term sustainability of the change. A total of $145.7$177.4 million and $167.5$147.7 million in CAF Tier 3 receivables were outstanding as of November 30, 20202021 and February 29, 2020,28, 2021, 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, 20202021 and February 29, 2020,28, 2021, 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 are resuming new store growth and anticipate opening between eight anda total of ten stores in fiscal 2022.
These stores will predominantly be cross functional stores that have a smaller footprint and can leverage our scale and the presence of our larger format stores in nearby markets. We currently estimate capital expenditures will total approximately $350 million in fiscal 2022. We expect nearly $100 million of this spend will be focused on investments in technology.

FINANCIAL CONDITION
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our primary ongoing cash requirements are to fund our existing operations, store expansion and improvement, CAF and strategic growth initiatives. 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. We have continued to adjust inventory levels throughout the pandemic to align with sales trends. During the third quarter, we fully paid down the outstanding balance on our revolving credit facility and resumed our store expansion strategy and share repurchase program.
Page 43


Our current capital allocation strategy is to continuefocus on our core business, including investing in digital capabilities and the strategic expansion of our store footprint, pursue new growth opportunities through investments, partnerships and acquisitions and return excess capital to fund our growth initiatives while maintaining an appropriate amount of caution given the uncertainty that remains in the economic environment.shareholders. Given the turnaroundyear-over-year improvement in our business and overall macroeconomic conditions, 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 strategic initiatives for the foreseeable future. We continue to monitor the COVID-19 situation and will make any further decisions necessary to position the company
On June 1, 2021, we completed our acquisition of Edmunds for a strong recovery as we emerge from this crisis.total purchase price of $401.8 million, inclusive of our initial investment. The consideration paid at closing included a combination of cash and shares of CarMax common stock. See Note 2 for additional information.
We currently target an adjusted debt-to-total capital ratio in a range of 35% to 45%. Our adjusted debt to capital ratio, net of cash on hand, was modestly belowat the middle of our targeted range for the third quarter of fiscal 2021.2022. 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. Generally, 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 nine months of fiscal 2021,2022, net cash used in operating activities totaled $2.08 billion, compared with cash provided by operating activities totaledof $868.4 million, compared with cash used in operating activities of $117.9 million in the prior year period. Our operating cash flows are significantly impacted by changes in auto loans receivable, which increased $73.8 million$1.76 billion in the current year period compared with $980.8$73.8 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 issuances of non-recourse notes payable were $7.1 million$1.65 billion in the current year period compared with $785.0 million$7 thousand in the prior year period and 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, 2020,2021, total inventory was $2.78$4.66 billion, representing a decreasean increase of $66.2 million$1.50 billion compared with the balance as of the start of the fiscal year.  The decreaseincrease was primarily due to a decline in vehicle units in response to the impact of COVID-19 on customer demand and our effort to align inventory levels with sales. The decrease in units was largely offset by an increase in the average carrying cost of inventory as a result of higher acquisition costs, driven by market appreciation.appreciation, as well as an increase in vehicle units. Saleable inventory levels have been below our targets throughout the current fiscal year as a result of temporary production slowdowns experienced in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021 and strong demand experienced during the first nine months of fiscal 2022. We made substantial progress in building our inventory position during the second quarter of fiscal 2022, and we achieved sequential growth in saleable inventory each month during the third quarter, which continued early into the fourth quarter. Although retail demand will determine the pace of our inventory build, we believe we have the resources we need to build inventory ahead of the tax refund season.

The change in net cash (used in) provided by (used in) operating activities for the first nine months of the current fiscal year compared with the prior year period reflected the changes in auto loans receivable and inventory, as discussed above, and timing-related changes to other current assets, partially offset by a decreasean increase 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,reserves. Our results for the first nine months of fiscal 2021 were significantly impacted by COVID-19, primarily during the first quarter. In response, we took proactive measures to strengthen our liquidity position, including reducing our inventory levels and timing-related changesaligning our costs to accounts payable.lower sales volumes.

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.  In December 2021, we exercised the accordion feature to increase the credit limit of this facility to $2.00 billion with no other material changes to the terms of the agreement. The credit facility, term loanloans 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 November 30, 2020,2021, we were in compliance with these financial covenants.

See Note 910 for additional information on our revolving credit facility, term loan,loans, senior notes and financing obligations.

CAF auto loans 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 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 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, 2020, $11.312021, $12.26 billion and $2.31$3.16 billion of non-recourse notes payable were outstanding related to asset-backed term funding transactions and our warehouse facilities, respectively.  During the first nine months of fiscal 2021,2022, we funded a total of $4.17$5.72 billion in asset-backed term funding transactions.  As of November 30, 2020,2021, we had $1.22$1.67 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 910 for additional information on the warehouse facilities. 
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
Page 4145


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. 

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, 2020,2021, a total of $2 billion of board authorizations for repurchases was outstanding, with no expiration date, of which $1.40 billion$876.2 million 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 1011 for more information on share repurchase activity.
