Exhibit 99.1
Copart, Inc.
For Immediate Release
Copart Reports First Quarter Fiscal 2019 Financial Results
Dallas, Texas. (November 20, 2018) — Copart, Inc. (NASDAQ: CPRT) today reported financial results for the quarter ended October 31, 2018.
For the three months ended October 31, 2018, revenue, gross profit, and net income were $461.4 million, $195.9 million, and $114.1 million, respectively. These represent an increase in revenue of $42.2 million, or 10.1%; an increase in gross profit of $32.7 million, or 20.0%; and an increase in net income of $36.6 million, or 47.2%, respectively, from the same period last year. Fully diluted earnings per share for the three months were $0.47 compared to $0.32 last year, an increase of 46.9%.
The operating results for the three months ended October 31, 2017 were adversely affected by abnormal costs of $35.8 million, incurred as a result of Hurricane Harvey. These costs included temporary storage facilities; premiums for subhaulers; labor costs incurred from overtime; travel and lodging due to the reassignment of employees to the affected region; and equipment lease expenses to handle the increased volume, as well as cost of vehicle sales. These costs, net of the associated revenues of $18.6 million, generated pre-tax loss for the three months ended October 31, 2017 of $17.2 million.
Excluding the impact of disposals of non-operating assets, foreign currency-related gains and losses, and certain income tax benefits related to accounting for stock option exercises, non-GAAP fully diluted earnings per share for the three months ended October 31, 2018 and 2017, were $0.47 and $0.33, respectively. 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 Wednesday, November 21, 2018, 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 at http://stream.conferenceamerica.com/copart112118. A replay of the call will be available through January 20, 2019 by calling (877) 919-4059.
