Copart Reports First Quarter Fiscal 2021 Financial Results
Dallas, Texas. (November 18, 2020) — Copart, Inc. (NASDAQ: CPRT) today reported financial results for the quarter ended October 31, 2020.
For the three months ended October 31, 2020, revenue, gross profit, and net income were $592.9 million, $296.8 million, and $200.3 million, respectively. These represent an increase in revenue of $38.5 million, or 6.9%; an increase in gross profit of $41.9 million, or 16.4%; and a decrease in net income of $17.9 million, or 8.2%, respectively, from the same period last year.
