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 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.

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 provides the majority of our customers with multiple options to interact with us throughout their car-buying journeys, including our mobile apps; carmax.com; over the phone or online with a centralized customer experience consultant; or, in-person at one of our attractive, modern sales facilities. 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, 2020 (the “2020 Annual Report”), with the exception of those related to recent accounting pronouncements adopted in the current fiscal year. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and footnotes included in our 2020 Annual 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 resulting adverse impacts to global economic conditions, as well as our operations, may impact future estimates including, but not limited to, our allowance for loan losses, inventory valuations, fair value measurements, downward adjustments to investments in equity securities, asset impairment charges, the effectiveness of the company’s hedging instruments, deferred tax valuation allowances, cancellation reserves, actuarial losses on our retirement benefit plans and discount rate assumptions. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year’s presentation.  Amounts and percentages may not total due to rounding.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements.

Adopted in the Current Period.

In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued an accounting pronouncement (ASU 2016-13 or “CECL”) related to the measurement of credit losses on financial instruments. This pronouncement, along with subsequent ASUs issued to clarify certain provisions of ASU 2016-13, changes the impairment model for most financial assets and requires the use of an “expected loss” model for instruments measured at amortized cost. Under this model, entities are required to estimate the lifetime expected credit loss on such instruments and record an allowance to offset the amortized cost basis of the financial asset, resulting in a net presentation of the amount expected to be collected on the financial asset. In developing the estimate for lifetime expected credit loss, entities must incorporate historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. This pronouncement is effective for fiscal years, and for interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019.

Page 8

We have designed an allowance for loan loss methodology to comply with these new requirements, which has been adopted for our fiscal year beginning March 1, 2020 using the modified retrospective approach. The adoption of this pronouncement resulted in the recognition of a $202.0 million increase in the allowance for loan losses on our opening consolidated balance sheet as of March 1, 2020, with a corresponding net-of-tax $153.3 million reduction in retained earnings. The increase in the allowance for loan losses on the opening balance sheet is primarily the result of extending the loan loss forecast period from 12 months to the entire lifetime of the loan portfolio. We expect this new methodology could increase volatility in our quarterly provision for loan losses. This volatility is driven by estimating loan losses over a longer forecast period and the incorporation of economic adjustment factors, including changes in U.S. unemployment rates and the National Automobile Dealers Association ("NADA") used vehicle price index, and such volatility could be significant. We have implemented testing of the effectiveness of our new allowance for loan loss methodology, as well as relevant controls and governance structure.

In August 2018, the FASB issued an accounting pronouncement (FASB ASU 2018-14) related to disclosure requirements for defined benefit plans. The pronouncement eliminates, modifies and adds disclosure requirements for defined benefit plans. We adopted this pronouncement for our fiscal year beginning March 1, 2020, and it did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

In October 2018, the FASB issued an accounting pronouncement (FASB ASU 2018-17) related to related party guidance for variable interest entities. We adopted this pronouncement for our fiscal year beginning March 1, 2020, and it did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

In March 2020, the FASB issued an accounting pronouncement (FASB ASU 2020-04) related to reference rate reform. The pronouncement provides optional guidance for a limited period of time to ease the potential burden of accounting for reference rate reform. This guidance is effective for all entities as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. We expect to utilize this optional guidance but do not expect it to have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

2.    Revenue

We recognize revenue when control of the good or service has been transferred to the customer, generally either at the time of sale or upon delivery to a customer.  Our contracts have a fixed contract price and revenue is measured as the amount of consideration we expect to receive in exchange for transferring goods or providing services. We collect sales taxes and other taxes from customers on behalf of governmental authorities at the time of sale.  These taxes are accounted for on a net basis and are not included in net sales and operating revenues or cost of sales. We generally expense sales commissions when incurred because the amortization period would have been less than one year. These costs are recorded within selling, general and administrative expenses. We do not have any significant payment terms as payment is received at or shortly after the point of sale.

Disaggregation of Revenue

	Three Months Ended May 31
(In millions)	2020			2019
Used vehicle sales	$	2,786.2		$	4,540.7
Wholesale vehicle sales	342.9			662.4
Other sales and revenues:
Extended protection plan revenues	73.4			111.3
Third-party finance fees, net	(10.7		)	(15.5		)
Service revenues	19.5			34.0
Other	17.5			33.4
Total other sales and revenues	99.7			163.2
Total net sales and operating revenues	$	3,228.8		$	5,366.3

Used Vehicle Sales. Revenue from the sale of used vehicles is recognized upon transfer of control of the vehicle to the customer. As part of our customer service strategy, we guarantee the retail vehicles we sell with a 7-day, money-back guarantee.  We record a reserve for estimated returns based on historical experience and trends. The reserve for estimated returns is presented gross on the consolidated balance sheets, with a return asset recorded in other current assets and a refund liability recorded in accrued expenses and other current liabilities. We also guarantee the used vehicles we sell with a 90-day/4,000 mile limited warranty.

Page 9

These warranties are deemed assurance-type warranties and accounted for as warranty obligations. See Note 15 for additional information on this warranty and its related obligation.

Wholesale Vehicle Sales. Wholesale vehicles are sold at our auctions, and revenue from the sale of these vehicles is recognized upon transfer of control of the vehicle to the customer. Dealers also pay a fee to us based on the sale price of the vehicles they purchase. This fee is recognized as revenue at the time of sale. While we provide condition disclosures on each wholesale vehicle sold, the vehicles are subject to a limited right of return. We record a reserve for estimated returns based on historical experience and trends. The reserve for estimated returns is presented gross on the consolidated balance sheets, with a return asset recorded in other current assets and a refund liability recorded in accrued expenses and other current liabilities.

EPP Revenues. We also sell ESP and GAP products on behalf of unrelated third parties, who are primarily responsible for fulfilling the contract, to customers who purchase a retail vehicle.  The ESPs we currently offer on all used vehicles provide coverage up to 60 months (subject to mileage limitations), while GAP covers the customer for the term of their finance contract. We recognize revenue, on a net basis, at the time of sale. We also record a reserve, or refund liability, for estimated contract cancellations. The reserve for cancellations is evaluated for each product and is based on forecasted forward cancellation curves utilizing historical experience, recent trends and credit mix of the customer base.  Our risk related to contract cancellations is limited to the revenue that we receive.  Cancellations fluctuate depending on the volume of EPP sales, customer financing default or prepayment rates, and shifts in customer behavior, including those related to changes in the coverage or term of the product.  The current portion of estimated cancellation reserves is recognized as a component of accrued expenses and other current liabilities with the remaining amount recognized in other liabilities.  See Note 7 for additional information on cancellation reserves.

We are contractually entitled to receive profit-sharing revenues based on the performance of the ESPs administered by third parties. These revenues are a form of variable consideration included in EPP revenues to the extent that it is probable that it will not result in a significant revenue reversal. An estimate of the amount to which we expect to be entitled, subject to various constraints, is recognized upon satisfying the performance obligation of selling the ESP. These constraints include factors that 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 May 31, 2020 and February 29, 2020, no 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.

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

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

3.    CarMax Auto Finance

CAF provides financing to qualified retail customers purchasing vehicles from CarMax.  CAF provides us the opportunity to capture additional profits, cash flows and sales while managing our reliance on third-party finance sources.  Management regularly analyzes CAF’s operating results by assessing profitability, the performance of the auto 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, CAF assets are not separately reported nor do we allocate assets to CAF because such allocation would not be useful to management in making operating decisions.

4.    Auto 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.  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 $13.17 billion as of May 31, 2020 and $13.61 billion as of February 29, 2020. See Note 9 for additional information on non-recourse notes payable.

Interest income and expenses related to auto loans are included in CAF income.  Interest income on auto loans receivable is recognized when earned based on contractual loan terms.  All loans continue to accrue interest until repayment or charge-off.  When a charge-off occurs, accrued interest is written off by reversing interest income. Direct costs associated with loan originations are not considered material, and thus, are expensed as incurred.  See Note 3 for additional information on CAF income.

Credit Quality.  When customers apply for financing, CAF’s proprietary scoring models rely on the customers’ credit history and certain application information to evaluate and rank their risk.  We obtain credit histories and other credit data that includes information such as number, age, type of and payment history for prior or existing credit accounts.  The application information that is used includes income, collateral value and down payment.  The scoring models yield credit grades that represent the relative likelihood of repayment.  Customers 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 May 31, 2020 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. For receivables that have less than 18 months of performance history, the net loss estimate takes into account the credit grades of the receivables and historical losses by credit grade to supplement actual loss data in estimating future performance. Once the receivables have 18 months of performance history, the net loss estimate reflects actual loss experience of those receivables to date, along with forward loss curves, to predict future performance. The forward loss curves are constructed using historical performance data and show the average timing of losses over the course of a receivable’s life.

The output of the net loss timing curve is adjusted to take into account reasonable and supportable forecasts about the future. Specifically, the change in U.S. unemployment rates and the NADA used vehicle price index are used to predict changes in gross loss and recovery rate, respectively. An economic adjustment factor is developed to capture the relationship between changes in these forecasts and changes in gross loss and recovery rates. This factor is applied to the output of the net loss timing curve for the reasonable and supportable forecast period of two years. After the end of this two year period, the impact of the economic factor is phased out of the allowance for loan loss calculation on a straight-line basis over a period of 12 months. We periodically consider whether the use of alternative metrics would result in improved model performance and revise the models when appropriate.  The provision for loan losses is the periodic expense of maintaining an adequate allowance.

As discussed in Note 1, we adopted CECL during the first quarter of fiscal 2021. The adoption of this pronouncement resulted in the recognition of a $202.0 million increase in the allowance for loan losses as of March 1, 2020, with a corresponding net-of-tax decrease of $153.3 million in retained earnings. During the first quarter of fiscal 2021, we recorded a provision for loan losses of $122.0 million. The provision included an $84.0 million increase in our estimate of lifetime losses on existing loans, largely resulting from worsening economic factors in response to COVID-19. In particular, the U.S. unemployment rate rose significantly during the quarter. This rate is used in loss prediction to incorporate how current and forecasted economic conditions impact customer hardship, or ability to pay.  Changes in the NADA used vehicle price index were not significant. The remaining $38.0 million of provision recorded in the first quarter of fiscal 2021 largely reflected our estimate of lifetime losses on originations made during the current quarter.

Past Due Receivables. An account is considered delinquent when the related customer fails to make a substantial portion of a scheduled payment on or before the due date.  In general, accounts are charged-off on the last business day of the month during which the earliest of the following occurs:  the receivable is 120 days or more delinquent as of the last business day of the month, the related vehicle is repossessed and liquidated, or the receivable is otherwise deemed uncollectible.  For purposes of determining impairment, auto loans are evaluated collectively, as they represent a large group of smaller-balance homogeneous loans, and therefore, are not individually evaluated for impairment.

5.    Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

We use derivatives to manage certain risks arising from both our business operations and economic conditions, particularly with regard to issuances of debt.  Primary exposures include LIBOR and other rates used as benchmarks in our securitizations and other debt financing.  We enter into derivative instruments to manage exposures related to the future known receipt or payment of uncertain cash amounts, the values of which are impacted by interest rates, and generally designate these derivative instruments as cash flow hedges for accounting purposes.  In certain cases, we may choose not to designate a derivative instrument as a cash flow hedge for accounting purposes due to uncertainty around the probability that future hedged transactions will occur. Our derivative instruments are used to manage (i) differences in the amount of our known or expected cash receipts and our known or expected cash payments principally related to the funding of our auto 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 $22.8 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 months ended May 31, 2020, we recognized a loss of $1.9 million in CAF income representing these changes in fair value.

As of May 31, 2020 and February 29, 2020, we had interest rate swaps outstanding with a combined notional amount of $1.96 billion and $2.62 billion, respectively, that were designated as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk. As of May 31, 2020, we had an interest rate swap outstanding with a notional amount of $0.40 billion that was not designated as a cash flow hedge.

See Note 6 for discussion of fair values of financial instruments and Note 12 for the effect on comprehensive income.

6.    Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants in the principal market or, if none exists, the most advantageous market, for the specific asset or liability at the measurement date (referred to as the “exit price”).  The fair value should be based on assumptions that market participants would use, including a consideration of nonperformance risk.

We assess the inputs used to measure fair value using the three-tier hierarchy.  The hierarchy indicates the extent to which inputs used in measuring fair value are observable in the market.

Level 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 May 31, 2020 and February 29, 2020, respectively, are as follows:

(In thousands)	As of May 31, 2020		As of February 29, 2020

7.    Cancellation Reserves

We recognize revenue for EPP products, on a net basis, at the time of sale. We also record a reserve, or refund liability, for estimated contract cancellations.  Cancellations of these services may result from early termination by the customer, or default or prepayment on the finance contract.  The reserve for cancellations is evaluated for each product and is based on forecasted forward cancellation curves utilizing historical experience, recent trends and credit mix of the customer base. 

Cancellation Reserves

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. As of May 31, 2020 and February 29, 2020, the current portion of cancellation reserves was $62.9 million and $63.5 million, respectively.

8.    Income Taxes

We had $29.1 million of gross unrecognized tax benefits as of May 31, 2020, and $30.9 million as of February 29, 2020.  There were no significant changes to the gross unrecognized tax benefits as reported for the year ended February 29, 2020.

 ⁽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), 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 no repayments are expected to be made within the next 12 months.  As of May 31, 2020, the unused capacity of $1.08 billion was fully available to us.

Term Loan.    Borrowings under our $300 million term loan are available for working capital and general corporate purposes. The term loan was classified as long-term debt, as no repayments are scheduled to be made within the next 12 months.    

Page 17

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 May 2027, 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 May 31, 2020, are as follows:

(In billions)	Capacity
Warehouse facilities:
August 2020 expiration	$	1.40
September 2020 expiration	0.15
February 2021 expiration	1.95
Combined warehouse facility limit	$	3.50
Unused capacity	$	1.55
Non-recourse notes payable outstanding:
Warehouse facilities	$	1.95
Asset-backed term funding transactions	11.22
Non-recourse notes payable	$	13.17

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 4 for additional information on the related auto loans receivable.

Capitalized Interest.    We capitalize interest in connection with the construction of certain facilities.  For the three months ended May 31, 2020 and 2019, we capitalized interest of $0.9 million and $1.6 million, respectively.

Financial Covenants.  The credit facility, term loan 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 May 31, 2020, we were in compliance with all financial covenants and our non-recourse funding vehicles were in compliance with the related performance triggers.

(A) Share Repurchase Program

As of May 31, 2020, a total of $2.0 billion of board authorizations for repurchases of our common stock was outstanding, with no expiration date, of which $1.51 billion remained available for repurchase. Subsequent to the end of the fiscal year, our current stock repurchase program was suspended, although the repurchase authorization remains effective.

(B) Stock Incentive Plans

We maintain long-term incentive plans for management, certain employees and the nonemployee members of our board of directors ("board").  The plans allow for the granting of equity-based compensation awards, including nonqualified stock options, incentive stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards, stock- and cash-settled restricted stock units, stock grants or a combination of awards.  To date, we have not awarded any incentive stock options.

The majority of associates who receive share-based compensation awards primarily receive cash-settled restricted stock units.  Senior management and other key associates receive awards of nonqualified stock options, stock-settled restricted stock units and/or restricted stock awards.  Nonemployee directors receive awards of nonqualified stock options, stock grants, stock-settled restricted stock units and/or restricted stock awards.  Excluding stock grants and stock-settled deferred stock units, all share-based compensation awards, including any associated dividend rights, are subject to forfeiture.

Nonqualified Stock Options.  Nonqualified stock options are awards that allow the recipient to purchase shares of our common stock at a fixed price.  Stock options are granted at an exercise price equal to the fair market value of our common stock on the grant date.  The stock options generally vest annually in equal amounts over four years.  These options expire seven years after the date of the grant.

Cash-Settled Restricted Stock Units.  Also referred to as restricted stock units, or RSUs, these are awards that entitle the holder to a cash payment equal to the fair market value of a share of our common stock for each unit granted.  For grants prior to fiscal 2021, conversion generally occurs at the end of a three-year vesting period.  RSUs granted in fiscal 2021 vest annually in equal amounts over three years. However, the cash payment per RSU will not be greater than 200% or less than 75% of the fair market value of a share of our common stock on the grant date.  The initial grant date fair values are based on the volume-weighted average price or closing price of our common stock on the grant dates. RSUs are liability-classified awards and do not have voting rights.

Stock-Settled Market Stock Units.  Also referred to as market stock units, or MSUs, these are restricted stock unit awards with market conditions granted to eligible key associates that are converted into between zero and two shares of common stock for each unit granted.  Conversion generally occurs at the end of a three-year vesting period.  The conversion ratio is calculated by dividing the average closing price of our stock during the final 40 trading days of the three-year vesting period by our stock price on the grant date, with the resulting quotient capped at two.  This quotient is then multiplied by the number of MSUs granted to yield the number of shares awarded.  The grant date fair values are determined using a Monte-Carlo simulation and are based on the expected market price of our common stock on the vesting date and the expected number of converted common shares. MSUs do not have voting rights.

Other Share-Based Incentives

Stock-Settled Performance Stock Units.  Also referred to as performance stock units, or PSUs, these are restricted stock unit awards with performance conditions granted to eligible key associates that are converted into between zero and two shares of common stock for each unit granted. Conversion generally occurs at the end of a three-year vesting period. For the fiscal 2018 grants, the conversion ratio is based on the company reaching certain target levels set by the board for cumulative three-year pretax diluted earnings per share at the end of the three-year period, with the resulting quotient subject to meeting a minimum 25% threshold and capped at 200%; based on the company's results for the three-year period, the board certified a performance adjustment factor of 119%. For the fiscal 2020 grants, the conversion ratio is based on the company reaching certain performance target levels set by the board of directors at the beginning of each one-year period, with the resulting quotients subject to meeting a minimum 25% threshold and capped at 200%. These quotients are then multiplied by the number of PSUs granted to yield the number of shares awarded. For the first-year period, these targets were based on annual pretax diluted earnings per share excluding any unrealized gains or losses on equity investments in private companies. The board certified a performance adjustment factor of 117% for the first-year period. For the second- and third-year periods, the remaining awarded 42,099 PSUs do not qualify as grants under ASC 718 as mutual understanding of the target performance levels are either not fully set or have not been set. The grant date fair values are based on the volume-weighted average prices of our common stock on the grant dates. PSUs do not have voting rights. No PSUs were awarded in fiscal 2021. As of May 31, 2020, 21,053 granted units were outstanding at a weighted average grant date fair value per share of $78.61.

Stock-Settled Deferred Stock Units.  Also referred to as deferred stock units, or DSUs, these are restricted stock unit awards granted to non-employee members of our board of directors that are converted into one share of common stock for each unit granted. Conversion occurs at the end of the one-year vesting period unless the director has exercised the option to defer conversion until separation of service to the company. The grant date fair values are based on the volume-weighted average prices of our common stock on the grant dates. DSUs have no voting rights. As of May 31, 2020, 38,730 units were outstanding at a weighted average grant date fair value of $80.19.

Restricted Stock Awards.  Restricted stock awards, or RSAs, are awards of our common stock that are subject to specified restrictions that generally lapse after a one- to three-year period from the date of the grant.  The grant date fair values are based on the volume-weighted average prices of our common stock on the grant dates. Participants holding restricted stock are entitled to vote on matters submitted to holders of our common stock for a vote. As of May 31, 2020, there were 4,517 shares outstanding at a grant date value of $88.54.

We recognize compensation expense for stock options, MSUs, PSUs, DSUs and RSAs on a straight-line basis (net of estimated forfeitures) over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period of the award.  The PSU expense is adjusted for any change in management’s assessment of the performance target level that is probable of being achieved. The variable expense associated with RSUs is recognized over their vesting period (net of estimated forfeitures) and is calculated based on the volume-weighted average price or closing price of our common stock on the last trading day of each reporting period. 

The total costs for matching contributions for our employee stock purchase plan are included in share-based compensation expense.  There were no capitalized share-based compensation costs as of or for the three months ended May 31, 2020 or 2019.

For stock options, the fair value of each award is estimated as of the date of grant using a binomial valuation model.  In computing the value of the option, the binomial model considers characteristics of fair-value option pricing that are not available for consideration under a closed-form valuation model (for example, the Black-Scholes model), such as the contractual term of the option, the probability that the option will be exercised prior to the end of its contractual life and the probability of termination or retirement of the option holder.  For this reason, we believe that the binomial model provides a fair value that is more representative of actual experience and future expected experience than the value calculated using a closed-form model.  Estimates of fair value are not intended to predict actual future events or the value ultimately realized by the recipients of share-based awards.

11.    Net Earnings Per Share

Basic net earnings per share is computed by dividing net earnings available for basic common shares by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding.  Diluted net earnings per share is computed by dividing net earnings available for diluted common shares by the sum of weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding and dilutive potential common stock.   Diluted net earnings per share is calculated using the “if-converted” treasury stock method.

Certain options to purchase shares of common stock were outstanding and not included in the calculation of diluted net earnings per share because their inclusion would have been antidilutive.  On a weighted average basis, for the three months ended May 31, 2020 and 2019, options to purchase 4,258,269 shares and 3,083,172 shares of common stock, respectively, were not included.

13.    Leases

Our leases primarily consist of operating and finance leases related to retail stores, office space, land and equipment. We also have stores subject to sale-leaseback transactions that did not qualify for sale accounting and are accounted for as financing obligations. For more information on these financing obligations see Note 9.

The initial term for real property leases is typically 5 to 20 years. For equipment leases, the initial term generally ranges from 3 to 8 years. Most leases include one or more options to renew, with renewal terms that can extend the lease term from 1 to 20 years or more. We include options to renew (or terminate) in our lease term, and as part of our right-of-use ("ROU") assets and lease liabilities, when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option.

ROU assets and the related lease liabilities are initially measured at the present value of future lease payments over the lease term. As most of our leases do not provide an implicit rate, we use our collateralized incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the commencement date in determining the present value of future payments. We include variable lease payments in the initial measurement of ROU assets and lease liabilities only to the extent they depend on an index or rate. Changes in such indices or rates are accounted for in the period the change occurs, and do not result in the remeasurement of the ROU asset or liability. We are also responsible for payment of certain real estate taxes, insurance and other expenses on our leases. These amounts are generally considered to be variable and are not included in the measurement of the ROU asset and lease liability. We generally account for non-lease components, such as maintenance, separately from lease components. For certain equipment leases, we apply a portfolio approach to account for the lease assets and liabilities.

Our lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restricted covenants. Leases with a term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet; we recognize lease expense for these leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

15.    Contingent Liabilities

Litigation.  CarMax entities are defendants in four proceedings asserting wage and hour claims with respect to CarMax sales consultants and non-exempt employees in California. The asserted claims include failure to pay minimum wage, provide meal periods and rest breaks, pay statutory/contractual wages, reimburse for work-related expenses and provide accurate itemized wage statements; unfair competition; and Private Attorney General Act claims. On September 4, 2015, Craig Weiss et al., v. CarMax Auto Superstores California, LLC, and CarMax Auto Superstores West Coast, Inc., a putative class action, was filed in the Superior Court of California, County of Placer. The Weiss lawsuit seeks civil penalties, fines, cost of suit, and the recovery of attorneys’ fees. On June 29, 2016, Ryan Gomez et al. v. CarMax Auto Superstores California, LLC, and CarMax Auto Superstores West Coast, Inc., a putative class action, was filed in the Superior Court of the State of California, Los Angeles. The Gomez lawsuit seeks declaratory relief, unspecified damages, restitution, statutory penalties, interest, cost and attorneys’ fees. On October 31, 2017, Joshua Sabanovich v. CarMax Superstores California, LLC et. al., a putative class action, was filed in the Superior Court

Page 27

of California, County of Stanislaus. The Sabanovich lawsuit seeks unspecified damages, restitution, statutory penalties, interest, cost and attorneys’ fees.  On November 21, 2018, Derek McElhannon et al v. CarMax Auto Superstores California, LLC and CarMax Auto Superstores West Coast, Inc., a putative class action, was filed in Superior Court of California, County of Alameda. On February 1, 2019, the McElhannon lawsuit was removed to the U.S. District Court, Northern District of California, San Francisco Division. The lawsuit was remanded back to the Superior Court of California, County of Alameda on June 4, 2019. The McElhannon lawsuit seeks unspecified damages, restitution, statutory and/or civil penalties, interest, cost and attorneys’ fees. 

CarMax has reached a memorandum of understanding and expects to finalize a global agreement settling the Weiss, Gomez and McElhannon lawsuits on a class basis. Once final, the settlement agreement will be submitted for approval to the Superior Court of California, County of Placer as part of the Weiss lawsuit. In anticipation of the consolidation of claims under the global settlement agreement, on March 11, 2020, the Gomez and McElhannon lawsuits were dismissed, as the claims of the plaintiffs will be addressed in the global settlement. The monetary settlement under this agreement is for an immaterial amount that has been fully accrued.

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

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. The settlement includes an immaterial monetary payment covering penalties, costs, and supplemental environmental projects as well as certain injunctive relief.

The company is a class member in a consolidated and settled class action lawsuit (In re: Takata Airbag Product Liability Litigation (U.S. District Court, Southern District of Florida)) against Toyota, Mazda, Subaru, BMW, Honda, Nissan and Ford related to the economic loss associated with defective Takata airbags installed as original equipment in certain model vehicles from model years 2000-2018.  On April 10, 2020, we were informed that CarMax would receive $40.3 million in net recoveries from the Toyota, Mazda, Subaru, BMW, Honda and Nissan settlement funds. On April 15, 2020, we received that amount in settlement of this matter and recorded the gain. CarMax remains a class member for the Ford settlement fund. We are unable to make a reasonable estimate of the amount or range of gain that could result from CarMax’s participation in the Ford settlement fund.

We are involved in various other legal proceedings in the normal course of business. Based upon our evaluation of information currently available, we believe that the ultimate resolution of any such proceedings will not have a material adverse effect, either individually or in the aggregate, on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

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 $14.9 million as of May 31, 2020, and $10.5 million as of February 29, 2020, and is included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities.

CarMax is the nation’s largest retailer of used vehicles.  We operate in two reportable segments:  CarMax Sales Operations and CarMax Auto Finance (“CAF”).  Our CarMax Sales Operations segment consists of all aspects of our auto merchandising and service operations, excluding financing provided by CAF.  Our CAF segment consists solely of our own finance operation that provides financing to customers buying retail vehicles from CarMax.

CarMax Sales Operations

Our sales operations segment consists of retail sales of used vehicles and related products and services, such as wholesale vehicle sales; the sale of extended protection plan (“EPP”) products, which include extended service plans (“ESPs”) and guaranteed asset protection (“GAP”); and vehicle repair service. We offer competitive, no-haggle prices; a broad selection of CarMax Quality Certified used vehicles; value-added EPP products; and superior customer service. Our website and related mobile apps serve as sales channels for customers who prefer to conduct all or part of the shopping and sales process on-line. In addition, they serve as tools for communicating the CarMax consumer offer in detail and as sophisticated search engines for finding the right vehicle.

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 May 31, 2020, we operated 220 used car stores in 106 U.S. television markets, as well as 2 new car franchises.  As of that date, wholesale auctions previously held at 74 of our used car stores were being conducted virtually.

CarMax Auto Finance

In addition to third-party finance providers, we provide vehicle financing through CAF, which offers financing solely to customers buying retail vehicles from CarMax.  CAF allows us to manage our reliance on third-party finance providers and to leverage knowledge of our business to provide qualifying customers a competitive financing option.  As a result, we believe CAF enables us to capture additional profits, cash flows and sales.  CAF income primarily reflects the interest and fee income generated by the auto 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 36.1% of our retail used vehicle unit sales in the first three months of fiscal 2021.  As of May 31, 2020, CAF serviced approximately 1,014,000 customer accounts in its $13.17 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. During the first quarter of fiscal 2021, we spent approximately $30 million supporting associates impacted by COVID-19, store closures and furloughs. This included providing associates with at least 14 days of pay continuity upon store closure or quarantine, along with continuing medical benefits for associates who were furloughed. To date, we have called back approximately 90% of associates placed on furlough.

Page 29

As shelter-in-place orders are being phased out and we have begun to reopen stores and auctions, 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 are adhering to occupancy restrictions at our stores where required. We also launched contactless curbside pickup 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 where possible for customers who want or need to sell their cars.

These developments have caused significant disruption to our business and had a significant impact on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows in the first quarter of fiscal 2021. Sales performance in the first quarter of fiscal 2021 was significantly impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. At the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic to date, 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.

Since hitting a trough in early April, we have seen our sales progressively improve as stores reopen, occupancy restrictions start to ease and customers begin to re-engage in car buying. As of May 31, 2020, all of our stores were open, but we still had more than 50% of our stores running under occupancy restrictions or limited operations. As previously disclosed, through the first two weeks of June, our comparable unit sales were within 10% of last year’s sales, and many stores, though not a majority, were exceeding last year's sales, even with more than 50% of our stores running under occupancy restrictions or limited operations. While web traffic declined 11% during the first quarter of fiscal 2021, during the first two weeks of June web traffic was up year-over-year. Also, leads to our Customer Experience Centers (“CECs”) have returned to pre-COVID-19 levels.

As a result of the improvement in sales in May and June, we have begun increasing production to raise our inventory levels. We expect there to be service inefficiencies in the second quarter as it takes time to return production to a normalized operating state.

The impact of COVID-19 on CAF loan origination volume has been consistent with our retail and wholesale sales performance noted above. As the pandemic escalated, we saw an increase in delinquencies and greater demand for payment extensions. In response, we implemented a variety of measures to support our customers through this difficult time and to maximize the long-term collectability of the portfolio. This included 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 our high-quality portfolio and tested certain loan routing to our third-party providers.

Payment extensions spiked in April and have declined significantly in recent weeks as customers have exhibited the ability and willingness to pay. During the first quarter of fiscal 2021, delinquency rates were lower year-over-year. However, this was largely due to payment extensions that were granted during the quarter. We plan to continue supporting our customers with a focus on providing appropriate relief while at the same time protecting our portfolio.

In response to COVID-19, we took several measures in the first quarter of fiscal 2021 to enhance our liquidity position and provide additional financial flexibility. This included drawing down additional funds on our revolving credit facility, pausing our stock repurchase program, pausing our store expansion strategy and remodels, reducing inventory levels and aligning other operating expenses to the lower sales volume. In addition to the temporary furlough mentioned above, we also implemented a hiring freeze, reduced advertising spending and reduced labor hours.

At the same time, we took advantage of our financial strength to continue making investments in our omni-channel experience and other digital initiatives that provide us with a competitive advantage. We implemented the most pertinent parts of the omni-channel experience in the first quarter, including launching a new initiative, contactless curbside pickup, to 200 stores nationwide. We expect to complete the rollout of our omni-channel experience in the second quarter of fiscal 2021.

As a result of these measures, we had $658.0 million in cash and cash equivalents on hand and $1.08 billion of unused capacity on our revolving credit facility as of May 31, 2020, compared with $58.2 million and $997.3 million, respectively, as of February 29, 2020. Total long-term debt, excluding non-recourse notes payable, declined to $1.71 billion as of May 31, 2020, compared with $1.79 billion as of February 29, 2020.

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.

Page 30

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, or potential subsequent outbreaks, will 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.

Revenues and Profitability

The sources of revenue and gross profit from the CarMax Sales Operations segment for the first three months of fiscal 2021 are as follows:

Net Sales and Operating Revenues Gross Profit

A high-level summary of our financial results for the first quarter of fiscal 2021 as compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2020 is as follows:

Page 31

Revenues and profitability for the first quarter of fiscal 2021 were significantly impacted by COVID-19, as previously discussed. The results for the first quarter of fiscal 2021 included $122.0 million in the CAF provision for loan losses, which included an increase of $84.0 million, or $0.38 per diluted share, in our estimate of lifetime losses on existing loans resulting from COVID-19 turmoil and worsening economic factors. Net earnings per diluted share during the first quarter of fiscal 2021 also included a one-time benefit of $0.18 in connection with our receipt of settlement proceeds in a previously disclosed class action lawsuit.

Refer to “Results of Operations” for further details on our revenues and profitability.

Liquidity

Our primary ongoing sources of liquidity include funds provided by operations, proceeds from non-recourse funding vehicles, and borrowings under our revolving credit facility or through other financing sources.  During the first three months of fiscal 2021, net cash provided by operations totaled $1.25 billion. This amount, combined with $438.3 million of net payments on non-recourse notes payable, resulted in $811.3 million of adjusted net cash provided by operating activities (a non-GAAP measure). Our current capital allocation strategy is to prioritize navigating the near-term challenges the COVID-19 situation presents and continuing to fund operating activities. Historically, this liquidity was primarily used to fund the repurchase of common stock under our share repurchase program and our store growth.

When considering cash from operating activities, management does not include changes in auto loans receivable that have been funded with non-recourse notes payable, which are separately reflected as cash (used in) provided by financing activities.  For a reconciliation of adjusted net cash provided by operating activities to net cash provided by (used in) operating activities, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, see “Reconciliation of Adjusted Net Cash from Operating Activities” included in “FINANCIAL CONDITION – Liquidity and Capital Resources.”

As noted above, in response to the COVID-19 situation, we took certain measures to enhance our liquidity position and provide additional financial flexibility, including drawing down additional funds on our revolving credit facility, pausing our stock repurchase program, pausing our store expansion strategy and remodels and actively aligning operating expenses to the current state of the business, including the previously discussed furlough. As a result of these measures, we strengthened our overall financial position by selling through inventory and quickly aligning costs to lower sales volumes. We exited the first quarter of fiscal 2021 in a stronger liquidity position than we entered. We believe we have sufficient liquidity and financial strength to support our operations and continue investing in our omni and digital initiatives for the foreseeable future.

Future Outlook

The COVID-19 situation has created an unprecedented and challenging time. Our current focus is on positioning the company for a strong recovery as we emerge from this crisis. As discussed above, we have taken several steps to ensure a strong liquidity position and enable our stores to operate amidst the current health and safety concerns. We will continue to monitor the COVID-19 situation and make any further decisions around preserving cash and reducing our operating expenses as appropriate.

We recognize the current environment has accelerated a shift in consumer buying behavior. Customers are seeking safety, personalization and convenience more than ever in how they shop for and buy a vehicle. Our omni-channel experience empowers customers to buy a car on their own terms, whether completely from home, in-store or through a seamlessly integrated combination of online and in-store experiences. The current environment creates a unique opportunity for us to accelerate our omni-channel experience and other digitally driven investments, which are significant competitive advantages for us. We expect to complete our omni-channel rollout in the second quarter of fiscal 2021 and are focusing our efforts on optimizing this customer experience with new enhancements.

In the near term, our strategic investments will focus on our customer experience, vehicle acquisition and our wholesale business. This includes a continued focus on driving effectiveness through our centralized CECs, improving our core buying channels and opening new buying channels and modernizing our wholesale auction platforms. As we complete the roll out of our omni-channel experience, we do not expect to realize the full extent of efficiencies gained from the CECs during this fiscal year. We will continue to assess opportunities to become leaner, more agile and a more cost-effective organization over the long term.

Our long-term strategy continues to be focused on completing the rollout of our retail concept, including our omni-channel experience, and increasing our share of used vehicle unit sales in each of the markets in which we operate. 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.

Page 32

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

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

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

As of May 31, 2020, we had used car stores located in 106 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 three months of fiscal 2021, we opened four stores.  Prior to the recent COVID-19 situation in the U.S., it was our intent to open 13 stores during fiscal 2021 and a similar number of stores in fiscal 2022.  Given the current environment, we have paused our store expansion strategy. We plan to revisit this decision later in the fiscal year.

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. For additional information about risks and uncertainties facing our company, see “Risk Factors,” included in Part I. Item 1A of the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 29, 2020.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

As a result of our adoption of the new accounting standard related to the measurement of credit losses on financial instruments (“CECL”) on March 1, 2020, we are updating the Critical Accounting Policy disclosure in MD&A included in Item 7 of the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 29, 2020 as follows:

Allowance for Loan Losses. The allowance for loan losses represents the net credit losses expected over the remaining contractual life of our managed receivables.  Because net loss performance can vary substantially over time, estimating net losses requires assumptions about matters that are uncertain.

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. For receivables that have less than 18 months of performance history, the net loss estimate takes into account the credit grades of the receivables and historical losses by credit grade to supplement actual loss data in estimating future performance. Once the receivables have 18 months of performance history, the net loss estimate reflects actual loss experience of those receivables to date along with forward loss curves to predict future performance. The forward loss curves are constructed using historical performance data and show the average timing of losses over the course of a receivable’s life.

The output of the net loss timing curve is adjusted to take into account 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 is developed to capture the relationship between changes in these indices and changes in gross loss and recovery rates. This factor is applied to the output of the net loss timing curve for the reasonable and supportable forecast period of two years. After the end of this two year period, the impact of the economic factor is phased out of the allowance for loan loss calculation on a straight-line basis over a period of 12 months. We periodically consider whether the use of alternative metrics would result in improved model performance and revise the model when appropriate.  

Page 33

Determining the appropriateness of the allowance for loan losses requires management to exercise judgment about matters that are inherently uncertain, including the timing and distribution of net losses that could materially affect the allowance for loan losses and, therefore, net earnings. To the extent that actual performance differs from our estimates, additional provision for credit losses may be required that would reduce net earnings. A 10% change in the estimated loss rates would have changed the allowance for loan losses by approximately $43.7 million as of May 31, 2020.

See Note 4 for additional information on the allowance for loan losses.

There have been no additional changes to our critical accounting policies during the three months ended May 31, 2020.

During the first three months of fiscal 2021, we opened four stores, all in existing television markets (Tampa, FL; Philadelphia, PA; New Orleans, LA; and Los Angeles, CA). 

Used Vehicle Sales.  The 38.6% decrease in used vehicle revenues in the first quarter of fiscal 2021 was primarily due to a 39.8% decline in used unit sales. The decrease in used units included a 41.8% decrease in comparable store used unit sales. The comparable store used unit sales performance 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. More than 80% of the days in the first quarter of fiscal 2021 were negatively impacted by a mix of store closures, limited operations and occupancy restrictions.

The increase in average retail selling price in the first quarter of fiscal 2021 reflected higher vehicle acquisition costs, primarily related to inventory acquired prior to the steep depreciation environment experienced during the quarter, as well as shifts in the mix of our sales by both vehicle age and class.

Wholesale Vehicle Sales. Vehicles sold at our wholesale auctions are, on average, approximately 10 years old with more than 100,000 miles and are primarily vehicles purchased through our appraisal process that do not meet our retail standards. Our wholesale auction prices usually reflect trends in the general wholesale market for the types of vehicles we sell, although they can also be affected by changes in vehicle mix or the average age, mileage or condition of the vehicles being sold.

The 48.2% decrease in wholesale vehicle revenues in the first quarter of fiscal 2021 was primarily due to a 47.6% decrease in unit sales as well as a 2.0% decline in average selling price. The wholesale unit decline reflected both lower appraisal traffic and a reduction in our appraisal buy rate, partially offset by the shift in our wholesale business from in-person to online auctions. Our

Page 35

buy rate typically declines during periods of weaker wholesale industry pricing as we adjust our appraisal offers in response to the wholesale pricing environment. Our auction sales rate for the first quarter of fiscal 2021 was consistent with our historical rate of approximately 95%.

Other Sales and Revenues.  Other sales and revenues include revenue from the sale of ESPs and GAP (collectively reported in EPP revenues, net of a reserve for estimated contract cancellations), net third-party finance fees, and other revenues, which are predominantly comprised of service department and new vehicle sales. The fees we pay to the Tier 3 providers are reflected as an offset to finance fee revenues received from the Tier 2 providers. The mix of our retail vehicles financed by CAF, Tier 2 and Tier 3 providers, or customers that arrange their own financing, may vary from quarter to quarter depending on several factors, including the credit quality of applicants, changes in providers’ credit decisioning and external market conditions. Changes in originations by one tier of credit providers may also affect the originations made by providers in other tiers.

Other sales and revenues declined 38.9% in the first quarter of fiscal 2021, reflecting decreases in EPP revenues, new car sales and service department sales. EPP revenues declined 34.1%, largely reflecting the reduction in our used unit sales. EPP revenue for the first quarter of fiscal 2021 included a year-over-year benefit of $6.7 million related to the receipt of profit-sharing revenue and a favorable change in cancellation reserves. The new car and service department sales declines reflected both store closures and reduced customer traffic.

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.

Other gross profit	$	228	30.8	$	533	73.3
Total gross profit	$	2,623	11.0	$	3,310	13.8

⁽¹⁾   Calculated as category gross profit divided by its respective units sold, except the other and total categories, which are divided by total used units sold.

⁽²⁾   Calculated as a percentage of its respective sales or revenue.

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. 

We systematically adjust individual vehicle prices based on proprietary pricing algorithms in order to appropriately balance sales trends, inventory turns and gross profit achievement.  Other factors that may influence gross profit include the wholesale and retail vehicle pricing environments, vehicle reconditioning and logistics costs, and the percentage of vehicles sourced directly from consumers through our appraisal process.  Vehicles purchased directly from consumers typically generate more gross profit per unit compared with vehicles purchased at auction or through other channels.

Page 36

Used vehicle gross profit declined 47.4% in the first quarter of fiscal 2021, reflecting the 39.8% decline in total used unit sales as well as the $278 decline in used vehicle gross profit per unit. Our used vehicle gross profit per unit was pressured by pricing adjustments made to better align inventory levels with sales. We believe we can manage to a targeted gross profit per unit dollar range, subject to future changes to our business or pricing strategy. With regard to the COVID-19 pandemic, we believe significant pressures on gross profit per unit are behind us; however, gross profit per unit performance is largely dependent on sales trends and ongoing economic recovery.

Wholesale Vehicle Gross Profit.    Our wholesale gross profit per unit reflects the demand for older, higher mileage vehicles, which are the mainstay of our auctions, as well as strong dealer attendance and resulting high dealer-to-car ratios at our auctions.  The frequency of our auctions, which are generally held weekly or bi-weekly, minimizes the depreciation risk on these vehicles.  Our ability to adjust appraisal offers in response to the wholesale pricing environment is a key factor that influences wholesale gross profit. 

Wholesale vehicle gross profit decreased 50.8% in the first quarter of fiscal 2021, driven by both the 47.6% reduction in wholesale unit sales and a $65 decrease in wholesale gross profit per unit. Wholesale gross profit per unit was under significant pressure early in the current year’s first quarter, reflecting sharp declines in industry wholesale valuations. However, wholesale gross profit per unit had fully recovered by the end of the quarter, aided by the shift in our wholesale business from in-person to online auctions.

Other Gross Profit.  Other gross profit includes profits related to EPP revenues, net third-party finance fees 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 declined 74.3% in the first quarter of fiscal 2021 due to a $55.1 million decline in service department profits and a $37.9 million decline in EPP revenues. The current quarter’s service results reflected the overhead deleverage resulting from our decline in used car sales, as well as pay continuity for our technicians and other service personnel during periods of reduced vehicle reconditioning activity, as we reduced our inventory. Service results 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 and gross profit dollars per vehicle rather than by changes in average retail prices.  However, we believe higher vehicle acquisition prices have adversely impacted, and could impact in the future, our comparable store used unit sales growth. Changes in average vehicle selling prices can also impact CAF income, to the extent the average amount financed also changes.

⁽²⁾   Includes IT expenses, preopening and relocation costs, insurance, non-CAF bad debt, travel, charitable contributions and other administrative expenses.

⁽³⁾   Calculated as total SG&A expenses divided by total used vehicle units.

SG&A expenses decreased 23.7% in the first quarter of fiscal 2021. This decrease reflected a reduction in costs associated with our decline in sales volume, the furlough of associates and the alignment of other costs to the state of the business, partially offset by an increase in costs as a result of the 8% growth in our store base since the beginning of fiscal 2020 (representing the addition of 17 stores). The net decrease also included the following:

• $40.3 million one-time benefit, representing our receipt of settlement proceeds in a class action lawsuit related to the economic loss associated with vehicles containing Takata airbags.

• $17.2 million decrease in share-based compensation expense. The decrease in share-based compensation expense was primarily related to cash-settled restricted stock units, as the expense associated with these units was primarily driven by the change in the company's stock price during the relevant periods.

• $7.4 million decrease in advertising expense in response to COVID-19. We expect that our advertising expense for the remainder of the year, on a per unit basis, will be comparable to the per unit expense in fiscal 2020, dependent on sales performance.

Page 38

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 increased to $24.0 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2021 from $17.8 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2020. The increase primarily reflected increased expense for our financing obligations as well as a higher outstanding average revolver balance in the first quarter of fiscal 2021, partially offset by lower interest rates.

Income Taxes.  The effective income tax rate was (19.5)% in the first quarter of fiscal 2021 versus 24.1% in the first quarter of fiscal 2020. During the first quarter of fiscal 2021, our provision for income taxes and effective tax rate were positively impacted by $1.9 million related to the release of tax reserves and the impact of settlements of share-based awards.

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 strived to originate loans with an underlying risk profile that we believe will, in the aggregate and excluding CAF’s Tier 3 originations, result in cumulative net losses in the 2% to 2.5% range over the life of the loans.  Actual loss performance of the loans may fall outside of this range based on various factors, including intentional changes in the risk profile of originations, economic conditions (including the possible effects of the COVID-19 outbreak) and wholesale recovery rates.  Based on underwriting adjustments made during the first quarter of fiscal 2021, in response to higher anticipated losses related to COVID-19, we are currently targeting new loans toward the higher end of 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 3 for additional information on CAF income and Note 4 for information on auto loans receivable, including credit quality.

⁽¹⁾  The allowance for loan losses as of May 31, 2020, includes a $202.0 million increase as a result of our adoption of CECL during the first quarter of fiscal 2021.

⁽²⁾  The average recovery rate represents the average percentage of the outstanding principal balance we receive when a vehicle is repossessed and liquidated, generally at our wholesale auctions.  While in any individual period conditions may vary, over the past 10 fiscal years, the annual recovery rate has ranged from a low of 46% to a high of 60%, and it is primarily affected by the wholesale market environment.

• CAF Income (Decrease of $65.0 million, or 56.1%)

◦ The decrease in CAF income for the first quarter of fiscal 2021 reflects an increase in the provision for loan losses, partially offset by improvement in the total interest margin percentage.

◦ The decline in net loan originations in the first quarter of fiscal 2021 resulted from our used vehicle sales decline as well as a decline in CAF’s penetration rate.

◦ The decrease in CAF's penetration rate reflected the combined effects of a shift in customer credit mix, adjustments to CAF's credit policies made in response to COVID-19 and testing of loan routing to our third-party providers.

Page 40

• Provision for Loan Losses (Increased to $122.0 million from $38.2 million)

◦ The increase in the provision for loan losses included an increase of $84.0 million in our estimate of lifetime losses on existing loans, which was an approximately 25% increase in our loss expectations, largely resulting from COVID-19 turmoil and worsening economic factors.

◦ The remaining $38.0 million largely reflected our estimate of lifetime losses on originations in the first quarter of fiscal 2021.

◦ In connection with our adoption of CECL during the first quarter of fiscal 2021, we recorded a $202.0 million increase in the allowance for loan losses on the first quarter opening balance sheet, with a corresponding decrease of $153.3 million, net of tax, in retained earnings.

• Total interest margin (Increased to 5.9% of average managed receivables from 5.6%)

◦ The increase in the total interest margin percentage was the result of lower funding costs.

Tier 3 Loan Originations.  CAF also originates a small portion of auto loans to customers who typically would be financed by our Tier 3 finance providers, in order to better understand the performance of these loans, mitigate risk and add incremental profits. Historically, CAF has targeted originating approximately 5% of the total Tier 3 loan volume; however, this rate may vary over time based on market conditions. During the first quarter of fiscal 2021, we paused our CAF Tier 3 lending given the current economic outlook and uncertainty surrounding the COVID-19 outbreak. A total of $160.2 million and $167.5 million in CAF Tier 3 receivables were outstanding as of May 31, 2020 and February 29, 2020, respectively.  These loans have higher loss and delinquency rates than the remainder of the CAF portfolio, as well as higher contract rates.  As of May 31, 2020 and February 29, 2020, approximately 10% of the total allowance for loan losses related to the outstanding CAF Tier 3 loan balances.

PLANNED FUTURE ACTIVITIES

During the first quarter of fiscal 2021, we opened four stores, all in an existing markets (Tampa, FL; Philadelphia, PA; New Orleans, LA; and Los Angeles, CA). Previously, it was our intent to open 13 stores in fiscal 2021 and a similar number of stores in fiscal 2022. While we remain committed to executing our store growth plan for the long-term benefit of customers and shareholders, we have decided to pause our store expansion and remodel strategy in response to the COVID-19 situation. We plan to revisit this decision later in the fiscal year.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Historically, our primary ongoing cash requirements have been to fund our existing operations, store expansion and improvement and CAF. Since fiscal 2013, we have also elected to use cash for our share repurchase program.  Our primary ongoing sources of liquidity include funds provided by operations, proceeds from non-recourse funding vehicles and borrowings under our revolving credit facility or through other financing sources.

During the first quarter of fiscal 2021, in response to the COVID-19 crisis, we took immediate and proactive measures to bolster our liquidity position and provide additional financial flexibility to improve our ability to meet our short-term liquidity needs. Those measures included drawing down additional funds on our revolving credit facility, pausing our stock repurchase program, pausing our store expansion strategy and actively aligning operating expenses to the current state of the business, including the temporary furlough of over 15,000 associates in April 2020. As a result of these measures, we strengthened our overall financial position by selling through inventory and quickly aligning costs to lower sales volumes. We exited the first quarter of fiscal 2021 in a stronger liquidity position than we entered. Our current capital allocation strategy is to prioritize navigating the near-term challenges that COVID-19 presents and continuing to fund operating activities. We believe we have sufficient liquidity and financial strength to support our operations and continue investing in our omni and digital initiatives for the foreseeable future.

We currently target an adjusted debt-to-total capital ratio in a range of 35% to 45%. Our adjusted debt to capital ratio was modestly below our targeted range for the first quarter of fiscal 2021, when netting out our accumulated cash of approximately $660 million. In calculating this ratio, we utilize total debt excluding non-recourse notes payable, finance lease liabilities, a multiple of eight times rent expense and total shareholders’ equity. 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 three months of fiscal 2021, net cash provided by operating activities totaled $1.25 billion, compared with $43.2 million in the prior year period, which included a decrease in auto loans receivable of $433.0 million in the current year period compared with an increase of $386.9 million in the prior year period.  The majority of the changes in auto

Page 41

loans receivable are accompanied by changes in non-recourse notes payable, which are separately reflected as cash from financing activities. 

As of May 31, 2020, total inventory was $1.90 billion, representing a decrease of $947.0 million, or 33.3%, compared with the balance as of the start of the fiscal year.  The decrease primarily reflected 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 was also due to a decline in the average carrying cost of inventory as a result of lower acquisition costs and changes in our vehicle mix.

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

RECONCILIATION OF ADJUSTED NET CASH FROM OPERATING ACTIVITIES

	Three Months Ended May 31
(In millions)	2020			2019
Net cash provided by operating activities	$	1,249.6		$	43.2
Add: Net (payments on) issuances of non-recourse notes payable (1)	(438.3		)	358.2
Adjusted net cash provided by operating activities	$	811.3		$	401.4

⁽¹⁾  Calculated using the gross issuances less payments on non-recourse notes payable as disclosed on the consolidated statements of cash flows.

Adjusted net cash provided by operating activities for the first three months of the current fiscal year increased compared with the prior year period primarily due to the changes in inventory discussed above, partially offset by timing-related changes to accounts receivable and accounts payable as well as a decrease in net earnings when excluding non-cash expenses, which include depreciation and amortization, share-based compensation expense and the provisions for loan losses and cancellation reserves.

Investing Activities. During the first three months of the fiscal year, net cash used in investing activities totaled $65.1 million in fiscal 2021 compared with $86.1 million in fiscal 2020.  Capital expenditures were $62.9 million in the current year period versus $79.0 million in the prior year period.  Capital expenditures primarily included store construction costs and store remodeling expenses.  We maintain a multi-year pipeline of sites to support our store growth, so portions of capital spending in one year may relate to stores that we open in subsequent fiscal years. In response to COVID-19, we have paused our store expansion and remodel strategy until the situation stabilizes.

As of May 31, 2020, 141 of our 220 used car stores were located on owned sites and 79 were located on leased sites, including 23 land-only leases and 56 land and building leases.

Financing Activities.  During the first three months of fiscal 2021, net cash used in financing activities totaled $579.7 million compared with net cash provided by financing activities of $80.9 million in the prior year period.  Included in these amounts were net payments on non-recourse notes payable of $438.3 million compared with net issuances of non-recourse notes payable of $358.2 million in the prior year period. Changes in non-recourse notes payable are typically used to fund changes in auto loans receivable (see “Operating Activities”).

During the first three months of fiscal 2021, cash used in financing activities was impacted by stock repurchases of $54.1 million as well as net repayments on our long-term debt of $85.1 million. During the first three months of fiscal 2020, cash provided by financing activities was impacted by stock repurchases of $212.0 million as well as net repayments on our long-term debt of $94.0 million.

 ⁽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), the federal funds rate, or the prime rate, depending on the type of borrowing.

⁽³⁾  Total debt excludes unamortized debt issuance costs. See Note 9 for additional information.

Borrowings under our $1.45 billion unsecured revolving credit facility are available for working capital and general corporate purposes, and the unused portion is fully available to us.  The credit facility, term loan and senior note agreements contain representations and warranties, conditions and covenants.  If these requirements are not met, all amounts outstanding or otherwise owed could become due and payable immediately and other limitations could be placed on our ability to use any available borrowing capacity.  As of May 31, 2020, we were in compliance with these financial covenants.

See Note 9 for additional information on our revolving credit facility, term loan, senior notes and financing obligations.

CAF auto 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 May 31, 2020, $11.22 billion and $1.95 billion of non-recourse notes payable were outstanding related to asset-backed term funding transactions and our warehouse facilities, respectively.  During the first three months of fiscal 2021, we funded a total of $1.15 billion in asset-backed term funding transactions.  As of May 31, 2020, we had $1.55 billion of unused capacity in our warehouse facilities.

We have periodically increased our warehouse facility limit over time, as our store base, sales and CAF loan originations have grown. See Note 9 for additional information on the warehouse facilities. 

We generally repurchase the receivables funded through our warehouse facilities when we enter into an asset-backed term funding transaction. If our counterparties were to refuse to permit these repurchases it could impact our ability to execute on our funding program. Additionally, the agreements related to the warehouse facilities include various representations and warranties, covenants and performance triggers.  If these requirements are not met, we could be unable to continue to fund receivables through the warehouse facilities.  In addition, warehouse facility investors could charge us a higher rate of interest and could have us replaced as servicer.  Further, we could be required to deposit collections on the related receivables with the warehouse facility agents on a daily basis and deliver executed lockbox agreements to the warehouse facility agents. 

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 May 31, 2020, a total of $2 billion of board authorizations for repurchases was outstanding, with no expiration date, of which $1.51 billion remained available for repurchase. During the first quarter of fiscal 2021, in response to the COVID-19 crisis, we paused our stock repurchase program, although the repurchase authorization remains effective. See Note 10 for more information on share repurchase activity.

PART II.  OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.    Legal Proceedings

In May 2020, we received a pre-filing negotiation request from the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) with respect to alleged violations of the Clean Water Act related to the discharge of petroleum from a storage tank at a CarMax retail store location. The discharge was accidental and is being remediated. The EPA is seeking a return to compliance and a monetary civil penalty. We are cooperating with the EPA and are engaged in settlement discussions. Based upon our evaluation of information currently available, we believe that the ultimate resolution of this matter will not have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]

Business Description and Accounting Policies [Text Block]

Background

Business. CarMax, Inc. (“we,” “our,” “us,” “CarMax” and “the company”), including its wholly owned subsidiaries, is the nation’s largest 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.

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 provides the majority of our customers with multiple options to interact with us throughout their car-buying journeys, including our mobile apps; carmax.com; over the phone or online with a centralized customer experience consultant; or, in-person at one of our attractive, modern sales facilities. 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, 2020 (the “2020 Annual Report”), with the exception of those related to recent accounting pronouncements adopted in the current fiscal year. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and footnotes included in our 2020 Annual 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 resulting adverse impacts to global economic conditions, as well as our operations, may impact future estimates including, but not limited to, our allowance for loan losses, inventory valuations, fair value measurements, downward adjustments to investments in equity securities, asset impairment charges, the effectiveness of the company’s hedging instruments, deferred tax valuation allowances, cancellation reserves, actuarial losses on our retirement benefit plans and discount rate assumptions. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year’s presentation.  Amounts and percentages may not total due to rounding.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements.

Adopted in the Current Period.

In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued an accounting pronouncement (ASU 2016-13 or “CECL”) related to the measurement of credit losses on financial instruments. This pronouncement, along with subsequent ASUs issued to clarify certain provisions of ASU 2016-13, changes the impairment model for most financial assets and requires the use of an “expected loss” model for instruments measured at amortized cost. Under this model, entities are required to estimate the lifetime expected credit loss on such instruments and record an allowance to offset the amortized cost basis of the financial asset, resulting in a net presentation of the amount expected to be collected on the financial asset. In developing the estimate for lifetime expected credit loss, entities must incorporate historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. This pronouncement is effective for fiscal years, and for interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019.

We have designed an allowance for loan loss methodology to comply with these new requirements, which has been adopted for our fiscal year beginning March 1, 2020 using the modified retrospective approach. The adoption of this pronouncement resulted in the recognition of a $202.0 million increase in the allowance for loan losses on our opening consolidated balance sheet as of March 1, 2020, with a corresponding net-of-tax $153.3 million reduction in retained earnings. The increase in the allowance for loan losses on the opening balance sheet is primarily the result of extending the loan loss forecast period from 12 months to the entire lifetime of the loan portfolio. We expect this new methodology could increase volatility in our quarterly provision for loan losses. This volatility is driven by estimating loan losses over a longer forecast period and the incorporation of economic adjustment factors, including changes in U.S. unemployment rates and the National Automobile Dealers Association ("NADA") used vehicle price index, and such volatility could be significant. We have implemented testing of the effectiveness of our new allowance for loan loss methodology, as well as relevant controls and governance structure.

In August 2018, the FASB issued an accounting pronouncement (FASB ASU 2018-14) related to disclosure requirements for defined benefit plans. The pronouncement eliminates, modifies and adds disclosure requirements for defined benefit plans. We adopted this pronouncement for our fiscal year beginning March 1, 2020, and it did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

In October 2018, the FASB issued an accounting pronouncement (FASB ASU 2018-17) related to related party guidance for variable interest entities. We adopted this pronouncement for our fiscal year beginning March 1, 2020, and it did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

In March 2020, the FASB issued an accounting pronouncement (FASB ASU 2020-04) related to reference rate reform. The pronouncement provides optional guidance for a limited period of time to ease the potential burden of accounting for reference rate reform. This guidance is effective for all entities as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. We expect to utilize this optional guidance but do not expect it to have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

Revenue from Contract with Customer [Abstract]

Revenue from Contract with Customer [Text Block]

Revenue

We recognize revenue when control of the good or service has been transferred to the customer, generally either at the time of sale or upon delivery to a customer.  Our contracts have a fixed contract price and revenue is measured as the amount of consideration we expect to receive in exchange for transferring goods or providing services. We collect sales taxes and other taxes from customers on behalf of governmental authorities at the time of sale.  These taxes are accounted for on a net basis and are not included in net sales and operating revenues or cost of sales. We generally expense sales commissions when incurred because the amortization period would have been less than one year. These costs are recorded within selling, general and administrative expenses. We do not have any significant payment terms as payment is received at or shortly after the point of sale.

Used Vehicle Sales. Revenue from the sale of used vehicles is recognized upon transfer of control of the vehicle to the customer. As part of our customer service strategy, we guarantee the retail vehicles we sell with a 7-day, money-back guarantee.  We record a reserve for estimated returns based on historical experience and trends. The reserve for estimated returns is presented gross on the consolidated balance sheets, with a return asset recorded in other current assets and a refund liability recorded in accrued expenses and other current liabilities. We also guarantee the used vehicles we sell with a 90-day/4,000 mile limited warranty.

These warranties are deemed assurance-type warranties and accounted for as warranty obligations. See Note 15 for additional information on this warranty and its related obligation.

Wholesale Vehicle Sales. Wholesale vehicles are sold at our auctions, and revenue from the sale of these vehicles is recognized upon transfer of control of the vehicle to the customer. Dealers also pay a fee to us based on the sale price of the vehicles they purchase. This fee is recognized as revenue at the time of sale. While we provide condition disclosures on each wholesale vehicle sold, the vehicles are subject to a limited right of return. We record a reserve for estimated returns based on historical experience and trends. The reserve for estimated returns is presented gross on the consolidated balance sheets, with a return asset recorded in other current assets and a refund liability recorded in accrued expenses and other current liabilities.

EPP Revenues. We also sell ESP and GAP products on behalf of unrelated third parties, who are primarily responsible for fulfilling the contract, to customers who purchase a retail vehicle.  The ESPs we currently offer on all used vehicles provide coverage up to 60 months (subject to mileage limitations), while GAP covers the customer for the term of their finance contract. We recognize revenue, on a net basis, at the time of sale. We also record a reserve, or refund liability, for estimated contract cancellations. The reserve for cancellations is evaluated for each product and is based on forecasted forward cancellation curves utilizing historical experience, recent trends and credit mix of the customer base.  Our risk related to contract cancellations is limited to the revenue that we receive.  Cancellations fluctuate depending on the volume of EPP sales, customer financing default or prepayment rates, and shifts in customer behavior, including those related to changes in the coverage or term of the product.  The current portion of estimated cancellation reserves is recognized as a component of accrued expenses and other current liabilities with the remaining amount recognized in other liabilities.  See Note 7 for additional information on cancellation reserves.

We are contractually entitled to receive profit-sharing revenues based on the performance of the ESPs administered by third parties. These revenues are a form of variable consideration included in EPP revenues to the extent that it is probable that it will not result in a significant revenue reversal. An estimate of the amount to which we expect to be entitled, subject to various constraints, is recognized upon satisfying the performance obligation of selling the ESP. These constraints include factors that 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 May 31, 2020 and February 29, 2020, no 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.

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.

CarMax Auto Finance Income [Abstract]

CarMax Auto Finance

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, 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.

Loans and Leases Receivable, Net Amount [Abstract]

Auto Loan Receivables

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.  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 $13.17 billion as of May 31, 2020 and $13.61 billion as of February 29, 2020. See Note 9 for additional information on non-recourse notes payable.

Interest income and expenses related to auto loans are included in CAF income.  Interest income on auto loans receivable is recognized when earned based on contractual loan terms.  All loans continue to accrue interest until repayment or charge-off.  When a charge-off occurs, accrued interest is written off by reversing interest income. Direct costs associated with loan originations are not considered material, and thus, are expensed as incurred.  See Note 3 for additional information on CAF income.

⁽²⁾ Other managed receivables includes receivables not funded through the non-recourse funding vehicles.

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.

⁽²⁾   Percent of total ending managed receivables.

Allowance for Loan Losses.  The allowance for loan losses at May 31, 2020 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. For receivables that have less than 18 months of performance history, the net loss estimate takes into account the credit grades of the receivables and historical losses by credit grade to supplement actual loss data in estimating future performance. Once the receivables have 18 months of performance history, the net loss estimate reflects actual loss experience of those receivables to date, along with forward loss curves, to predict future performance. The forward loss curves are constructed using historical performance data and show the average timing of losses over the course of a receivable’s life.

The output of the net loss timing curve is adjusted to take into account reasonable and supportable forecasts about the future. Specifically, the change in U.S. unemployment rates and the NADA used vehicle price index are used to predict changes in gross loss and recovery rate, respectively. An economic adjustment factor is developed to capture the relationship between changes in these forecasts and changes in gross loss and recovery rates. This factor is applied to the output of the net loss timing curve for the reasonable and supportable forecast period of two years. After the end of this two year period, the impact of the economic factor is phased out of the allowance for loan loss calculation on a straight-line basis over a period of 12 months. We periodically consider whether the use of alternative metrics would result in improved model performance and revise the models when appropriate.  The provision for loan losses is the periodic expense of maintaining an adequate allowance.

As discussed in Note 1, we adopted CECL during the first quarter of fiscal 2021. The adoption of this pronouncement resulted in the recognition of a $202.0 million increase in the allowance for loan losses as of March 1, 2020, with a corresponding net-of-tax decrease of $153.3 million in retained earnings. During the first quarter of fiscal 2021, we recorded a provision for loan losses of $122.0 million. The provision included an $84.0 million increase in our estimate of lifetime losses on existing loans, largely resulting from worsening economic factors in response to COVID-19. In particular, the U.S. unemployment rate rose significantly during the quarter. This rate is used in loss prediction to incorporate how current and forecasted economic conditions impact customer hardship, or ability to pay.  Changes in the NADA used vehicle price index were not significant. The remaining $38.0 million of provision recorded in the first quarter of fiscal 2021 largely reflected our estimate of lifetime losses on originations made during the current quarter.

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.

Derivative Instruments And Hedging Activities

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]

Derivative Instruments And Hedging Activities

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 $22.8 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 months ended May 31, 2020, we recognized a loss of $1.9 million in CAF income representing these changes in fair value.

As of May 31, 2020 and February 29, 2020, we had interest rate swaps outstanding with a combined notional amount of $1.96 billion and $2.62 billion, respectively, that were designated as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk. As of May 31, 2020, we had an interest rate swap outstanding with a notional amount of $0.40 billion that was not designated as a cash flow hedge.

See Note 6 for discussion of fair values of financial instruments and Note 12 for the effect on comprehensive income.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]

Fair Value Measurements

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 May 31, 2020 and February 29, 2020, respectively, are as follows:

Cancellation Reserves

We recognize revenue for EPP products, on a net basis, at the time of sale. We also record a reserve, or refund liability, for estimated contract cancellations.  Cancellations of these services may result from early termination by the customer, or default or prepayment on the finance contract.  The reserve for cancellations is evaluated for each product and is based on forecasted forward cancellation curves utilizing historical experience, recent trends and credit mix of the customer base.

 ⁽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), 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 no repayments are expected to be made within the next 12 months.  As of May 31, 2020, the unused capacity of $1.08 billion was fully available to us.

Term Loan.    Borrowings under our $300 million term loan are available for working capital and general corporate purposes. The term loan was classified as long-term debt, as no repayments are scheduled to be made within the next 12 months.    

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 May 2027, 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 May 31, 2020, are as follows:

(In billions)	Capacity
Warehouse facilities:
August 2020 expiration	$	1.40
September 2020 expiration	0.15
February 2021 expiration	1.95
Combined warehouse facility limit	$	3.50
Unused capacity	$	1.55
Non-recourse notes payable outstanding:
Warehouse facilities	$	1.95
Asset-backed term funding transactions	11.22
Non-recourse notes payable	$	13.17

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 4 for additional information on the related auto loans receivable.

Capitalized Interest.    We capitalize interest in connection with the construction of certain facilities.  For the three months ended May 31, 2020 and 2019, we capitalized interest of $0.9 million and $1.6 million, respectively.

Financial Covenants.  The credit facility, term loan 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 May 31, 2020, we were in compliance with all financial covenants and our non-recourse funding vehicles were in compliance with the related performance triggers.

Stock and Stock-Based Incentive Plans

(A) Share Repurchase Program

As of May 31, 2020, a total of $2.0 billion of board authorizations for repurchases of our common stock was outstanding, with no expiration date, of which $1.51 billion remained available for repurchase. Subsequent to the end of the fiscal year, our current stock repurchase program was suspended, although the repurchase authorization remains effective.

(B) Stock Incentive Plans

We maintain long-term incentive plans for management, certain employees and the nonemployee members of our board of directors ("board").  The plans allow for the granting of equity-based compensation awards, including nonqualified stock options, incentive stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards, stock- and cash-settled restricted stock units, stock grants or a combination of awards.  To date, we have not awarded any incentive stock options.

The majority of associates who receive share-based compensation awards primarily receive cash-settled restricted stock units.  Senior management and other key associates receive awards of nonqualified stock options, stock-settled restricted stock units and/or restricted stock awards.  Nonemployee directors receive awards of nonqualified stock options, stock grants, stock-settled restricted stock units and/or restricted stock awards.  Excluding stock grants and stock-settled deferred stock units, all share-based compensation awards, including any associated dividend rights, are subject to forfeiture.

Nonqualified Stock Options.  Nonqualified stock options are awards that allow the recipient to purchase shares of our common stock at a fixed price.  Stock options are granted at an exercise price equal to the fair market value of our common stock on the grant date.  The stock options generally vest annually in equal amounts over four years.  These options expire seven years after the date of the grant.

Cash-Settled Restricted Stock Units.  Also referred to as restricted stock units, or RSUs, these are awards that entitle the holder to a cash payment equal to the fair market value of a share of our common stock for each unit granted.  For grants prior to fiscal 2021, conversion generally occurs at the end of a three-year vesting period.  RSUs granted in fiscal 2021 vest annually in equal amounts over three years. However, the cash payment per RSU will not be greater than 200% or less than 75% of the fair market value of a share of our common stock on the grant date.  The initial grant date fair values are based on the volume-weighted average price or closing price of our common stock on the grant dates. RSUs are liability-classified awards and do not have voting rights.

Stock-Settled Market Stock Units.  Also referred to as market stock units, or MSUs, these are restricted stock unit awards with market conditions granted to eligible key associates that are converted into between zero and two shares of common stock for each unit granted.  Conversion generally occurs at the end of a three-year vesting period.  The conversion ratio is calculated by dividing the average closing price of our stock during the final 40 trading days of the three-year vesting period by our stock price on the grant date, with the resulting quotient capped at two.  This quotient is then multiplied by the number of MSUs granted to yield the number of shares awarded.  The grant date fair values are determined using a Monte-Carlo simulation and are based on the expected market price of our common stock on the vesting date and the expected number of converted common shares. MSUs do not have voting rights.

Other Share-Based Incentives

Stock-Settled Performance Stock Units.  Also referred to as performance stock units, or PSUs, these are restricted stock unit awards with performance conditions granted to eligible key associates that are converted into between zero and two shares of common stock for each unit granted. Conversion generally occurs at the end of a three-year vesting period. For the fiscal 2018 grants, the conversion ratio is based on the company reaching certain target levels set by the board for cumulative three-year pretax diluted earnings per share at the end of the three-year period, with the resulting quotient subject to meeting a minimum 25% threshold and capped at 200%; based on the company's results for the three-year period, the board certified a performance adjustment factor of 119%. For the fiscal 2020 grants, the conversion ratio is based on the company reaching certain performance target levels set by the board of directors at the beginning of each one-year period, with the resulting quotients subject to meeting a minimum 25% threshold and capped at 200%. These quotients are then multiplied by the number of PSUs granted to yield the number of shares awarded. For the first-year period, these targets were based on annual pretax diluted earnings per share excluding any unrealized gains or losses on equity investments in private companies. The board certified a performance adjustment factor of 117% for the first-year period. For the second- and third-year periods, the remaining awarded 42,099 PSUs do not qualify as grants under ASC 718 as mutual understanding of the target performance levels are either not fully set or have not been set. The grant date fair values are based on the volume-weighted average prices of our common stock on the grant dates. PSUs do not have voting rights. No PSUs were awarded in fiscal 2021. As of May 31, 2020, 21,053 granted units were outstanding at a weighted average grant date fair value per share of $78.61.

Stock-Settled Deferred Stock Units.  Also referred to as deferred stock units, or DSUs, these are restricted stock unit awards granted to non-employee members of our board of directors that are converted into one share of common stock for each unit granted. Conversion occurs at the end of the one-year vesting period unless the director has exercised the option to defer conversion until separation of service to the company. The grant date fair values are based on the volume-weighted average prices of our common stock on the grant dates. DSUs have no voting rights. As of May 31, 2020, 38,730 units were outstanding at a weighted average grant date fair value of $80.19.

Restricted Stock Awards.  Restricted stock awards, or RSAs, are awards of our common stock that are subject to specified restrictions that generally lapse after a one- to three-year period from the date of the grant.  The grant date fair values are based on the volume-weighted average prices of our common stock on the grant dates. Participants holding restricted stock are entitled to vote on matters submitted to holders of our common stock for a vote. As of May 31, 2020, there were 4,517 shares outstanding at a grant date value of $88.54.

We recognize compensation expense for stock options, MSUs, PSUs, DSUs and RSAs on a straight-line basis (net of estimated forfeitures) over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period of the award.  The PSU expense is adjusted for any change in management’s assessment of the performance target level that is probable of being achieved. The variable expense associated with RSUs is recognized over their vesting period (net of estimated forfeitures) and is calculated based on the volume-weighted average price or closing price of our common stock on the last trading day of each reporting period. 

The total costs for matching contributions for our employee stock purchase plan are included in share-based compensation expense.  There were no capitalized share-based compensation costs as of or for the three months ended May 31, 2020 or 2019.

Realized tax benefits (in millions)	$	0.2	$	5.3

For stock options, the fair value of each award is estimated as of the date of grant using a binomial valuation model.  In computing the value of the option, the binomial model considers characteristics of fair-value option pricing that are not available for consideration under a closed-form valuation model (for example, the Black-Scholes model), such as the contractual term of the option, the probability that the option will be exercised prior to the end of its contractual life and the probability of termination or retirement of the option holder.  For this reason, we believe that the binomial model provides a fair value that is more representative of actual experience and future expected experience than the value calculated using a closed-form model.  Estimates of fair value are not intended to predict actual future events or the value ultimately realized by the recipients of share-based awards.

Net Earnings Per Share

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.

Leases [Abstract]

Leases of Lessee Disclosure [Text Block]

Leases

Our leases primarily consist of operating and finance leases related to retail stores, office space, land and equipment. We also have stores subject to sale-leaseback transactions that did not qualify for sale accounting and are accounted for as financing obligations. For more information on these financing obligations see Note 9.

The initial term for real property leases is typically 5 to 20 years. For equipment leases, the initial term generally ranges from 3 to 8 years. Most leases include one or more options to renew, with renewal terms that can extend the lease term from 1 to 20 years or more. We include options to renew (or terminate) in our lease term, and as part of our right-of-use ("ROU") assets and lease liabilities, when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option.

ROU assets and the related lease liabilities are initially measured at the present value of future lease payments over the lease term. As most of our leases do not provide an implicit rate, we use our collateralized incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the commencement date in determining the present value of future payments. We include variable lease payments in the initial measurement of ROU assets and lease liabilities only to the extent they depend on an index or rate. Changes in such indices or rates are accounted for in the period the change occurs, and do not result in the remeasurement of the ROU asset or liability. We are also responsible for payment of certain real estate taxes, insurance and other expenses on our leases. These amounts are generally considered to be variable and are not included in the measurement of the ROU asset and lease liability. We generally account for non-lease components, such as maintenance, separately from lease components. For certain equipment leases, we apply a portfolio approach to account for the lease assets and liabilities.

Our lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restricted covenants. Leases with a term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet; we recognize lease expense for these leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

The components of lease expense were as follows:

Contingent Liabilities

Contingent Liabilities

Litigation.  CarMax entities are defendants in four proceedings asserting wage and hour claims with respect to CarMax sales consultants and non-exempt employees in California. The asserted claims include failure to pay minimum wage, provide meal periods and rest breaks, pay statutory/contractual wages, reimburse for work-related expenses and provide accurate itemized wage statements; unfair competition; and Private Attorney General Act claims. On September 4, 2015, Craig Weiss et al., v. CarMax Auto Superstores California, LLC, and CarMax Auto Superstores West Coast, Inc., a putative class action, was filed in the Superior Court of California, County of Placer. The Weiss lawsuit seeks civil penalties, fines, cost of suit, and the recovery of attorneys’ fees. On June 29, 2016, Ryan Gomez et al. v. CarMax Auto Superstores California, LLC, and CarMax Auto Superstores West Coast, Inc., a putative class action, was filed in the Superior Court of the State of California, Los Angeles. The Gomez lawsuit seeks declaratory relief, unspecified damages, restitution, statutory penalties, interest, cost and attorneys’ fees. On October 31, 2017, Joshua Sabanovich v. CarMax Superstores California, LLC et. al., a putative class action, was filed in the Superior Court

of California, County of Stanislaus. The Sabanovich lawsuit seeks unspecified damages, restitution, statutory penalties, interest, cost and attorneys’ fees.  On November 21, 2018, Derek McElhannon et al v. CarMax Auto Superstores California, LLC and CarMax Auto Superstores West Coast, Inc., a putative class action, was filed in Superior Court of California, County of Alameda. On February 1, 2019, the McElhannon lawsuit was removed to the U.S. District Court, Northern District of California, San Francisco Division. The lawsuit was remanded back to the Superior Court of California, County of Alameda on June 4, 2019. The McElhannon lawsuit seeks unspecified damages, restitution, statutory and/or civil penalties, interest, cost and attorneys’ fees. 

CarMax has reached a memorandum of understanding and expects to finalize a global agreement settling the Weiss, Gomez and McElhannon lawsuits on a class basis. Once final, the settlement agreement will be submitted for approval to the Superior Court of California, County of Placer as part of the Weiss lawsuit. In anticipation of the consolidation of claims under the global settlement agreement, on March 11, 2020, the Gomez and McElhannon lawsuits were dismissed, as the claims of the plaintiffs will be addressed in the global settlement. The monetary settlement under this agreement is for an immaterial amount that has been fully accrued.

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

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. The settlement includes an immaterial monetary payment covering penalties, costs, and supplemental environmental projects as well as certain injunctive relief.

The company is a class member in a consolidated and settled class action lawsuit (In re: Takata Airbag Product Liability Litigation (U.S. District Court, Southern District of Florida)) against Toyota, Mazda, Subaru, BMW, Honda, Nissan and Ford related to the economic loss associated with defective Takata airbags installed as original equipment in certain model vehicles from model years 2000-2018.  On April 10, 2020, we were informed that CarMax would receive $40.3 million in net recoveries from the Toyota, Mazda, Subaru, BMW, Honda and Nissan settlement funds. On April 15, 2020, we received that amount in settlement of this matter and recorded the gain. CarMax remains a class member for the Ford settlement fund. We are unable to make a reasonable estimate of the amount or range of gain that could result from CarMax’s participation in the Ford settlement fund.

We are involved in various other legal proceedings in the normal course of business. Based upon our evaluation of information currently available, we believe that the ultimate resolution of any such proceedings will not have a material adverse effect, either individually or in the aggregate, on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

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 $14.9 million as of May 31, 2020, and $10.5 million as of February 29, 2020, and is included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities.

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]

Background

Business. CarMax, Inc. (“we,” “our,” “us,” “CarMax” and “the company”), including its wholly owned subsidiaries, is the nation’s largest 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.

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 provides the majority of our customers with multiple options to interact with us throughout their car-buying journeys, including our mobile apps; carmax.com; over the phone or online with a centralized customer experience consultant; or, in-person at one of our attractive, modern sales facilities. 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

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, 2020 (the “2020 Annual Report”), with the exception of those related to recent accounting pronouncements adopted in the current fiscal year. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and footnotes included in our 2020 Annual Report.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.  In particular, the novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic and the resulting adverse impacts to global economic conditions, as well as our operations, may impact future estimates including, but not limited to, our allowance for loan losses, inventory valuations, fair value measurements, downward adjustments to investments in equity securities, asset impairment charges, the effectiveness of the company’s hedging instruments, deferred tax valuation allowances, cancellation reserves, actuarial losses on our retirement benefit plans and discount rate assumptions. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year’s presentation.  Amounts and percentages may not total due to rounding.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Recent Accounting Pronouncements.

Adopted in the Current Period.

In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued an accounting pronouncement (ASU 2016-13 or “CECL”) related to the measurement of credit losses on financial instruments. This pronouncement, along with subsequent ASUs issued to clarify certain provisions of ASU 2016-13, changes the impairment model for most financial assets and requires the use of an “expected loss” model for instruments measured at amortized cost. Under this model, entities are required to estimate the lifetime expected credit loss on such instruments and record an allowance to offset the amortized cost basis of the financial asset, resulting in a net presentation of the amount expected to be collected on the financial asset. In developing the estimate for lifetime expected credit loss, entities must incorporate historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. This pronouncement is effective for fiscal years, and for interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019.

We have designed an allowance for loan loss methodology to comply with these new requirements, which has been adopted for our fiscal year beginning March 1, 2020 using the modified retrospective approach. The adoption of this pronouncement resulted in the recognition of a $202.0 million increase in the allowance for loan losses on our opening consolidated balance sheet as of March 1, 2020, with a corresponding net-of-tax $153.3 million reduction in retained earnings. The increase in the allowance for loan losses on the opening balance sheet is primarily the result of extending the loan loss forecast period from 12 months to the entire lifetime of the loan portfolio. We expect this new methodology could increase volatility in our quarterly provision for loan losses. This volatility is driven by estimating loan losses over a longer forecast period and the incorporation of economic adjustment factors, including changes in U.S. unemployment rates and the National Automobile Dealers Association ("NADA") used vehicle price index, and such volatility could be significant. We have implemented testing of the effectiveness of our new allowance for loan loss methodology, as well as relevant controls and governance structure.

In August 2018, the FASB issued an accounting pronouncement (FASB ASU 2018-14) related to disclosure requirements for defined benefit plans. The pronouncement eliminates, modifies and adds disclosure requirements for defined benefit plans. We adopted this pronouncement for our fiscal year beginning March 1, 2020, and it did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

In October 2018, the FASB issued an accounting pronouncement (FASB ASU 2018-17) related to related party guidance for variable interest entities. We adopted this pronouncement for our fiscal year beginning March 1, 2020, and it did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

In March 2020, the FASB issued an accounting pronouncement (FASB ASU 2020-04) related to reference rate reform. The pronouncement provides optional guidance for a limited period of time to ease the potential burden of accounting for reference rate reform. This guidance is effective for all entities as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. We expect to utilize this optional guidance but do not expect it to have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.
