Copart Reports First Quarter Fiscal 2023 Financial Results

By: Copart, Inc. via Business Wire

November 16, 2022 at 18:22 PM EST

Copart, Inc. (NASDAQ: CPRT) today reported financial results for the quarter ended October 31, 2022.

For the three months ended October 31, 2022, revenue, gross profit, and net income were $893.4 million, $369.5 million, and $245.8 million, respectively. These represent an increase in revenue of $83.2 million, or 10.3%; a decrease in gross profit of $15.5 million, or 4.0%; and a decrease in net income of $14.5 million, or 5.6%, respectively, from the same period last year. Fully diluted earnings per share for the three months were $0.51 compared to $0.54 last year, a decrease of 5.6%.

On September 28th, 2022, Hurricane Ian, a Category 4 hurricane, came ashore in Florida, with sustained winds of 150mph, the first such Category 4 storm to impact Southwest Florida since Hurricane Charley in 2004. Hurricane Ian adversely impacted the operating results for the three months ended October 31, 2022 resulting in additional costs of approximately $25 million. These costs included premiums for subhaulers, labor costs incurred from overtime, and travel and lodging due to the reassignment of employees to the affected region.

Excluding the impact of certain income tax benefits related to stock-based compensation, non-GAAP fully diluted earnings per share for the three months ended October 31, 2022 and 2021 were $0.51, and $0.53, respectively, which was a decrease of 3.8%. A reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable financial measures computed in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) can be found in the tables attached to this press release.

On Thursday, November 17, 2022, at 11 a.m. Eastern Time, Copart will conduct a conference call to discuss the results for the quarter. The call will be webcast live and can be accessed via hyperlink at www.copart.com/investorrelations. A replay of the call will be available through February 2023 by visiting www.copart.com/investorrelations.
