EXHIBIT 99.1
BENTONVILLE, Ark., Nov. 19, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- America's Car-Mart, Inc. (NASDAQ:CRMT) today announced its operating results for the second quarter of fiscal 2016.
Highlights of second quarter operating results:
Highlights of six month operating results:
"The quarter started out relatively solid as we had a decent August even though credit losses were continuing to be higher than expected, based on the lower delinquency levels, and we were working through some inventory issues. Sales softened in September and October, which can be attributed in part to the fact that we instituted some additional underwriting reviews and made adjustments and improvements to inventory that we believed were necessary for the longer term. Operational inconsistencies among dealerships continue to negatively affect results, as significant time, effort and expense during the quarter were directed at improving inventory management. Some of that effort, unfortunately, was at the expense of sales volumes," said William H. ("Hank") Henderson, President and Chief Executive Office of America's Car-Mart, Inc. (the "Company"). "The competitive landscape remains intense, and we have to get much better and more consistent operationally. If we are to earn the repeat business of our customers, we have to ensure we are putting them in the very best vehicles at the very best price. Credit losses for the quarter were certainly higher than anticipated and relate in part to the quality of our inventory as well as the competitive environment. We believe that we can positively affect losses by improving the quality of our vehicles and also continue to be proactive with our customers in working with them when they encounter challenges financially."
"While the quarter was not where we would have liked for it to be, we are committed to our mission of earning the repeat business of our customers by providing quality vehicles, affordable payment terms, and excellent service," added Mr. Henderson. "We believe that communities benefit when they have a Car-Mart, and we will continue to look to grow our footprint. Our first order of business at this time, however, is to address our current operational challenges. Our inventory continues to improve, and we expect sales volumes to pick back up as we move forward."
"As we have discussed in recent quarters, we have spent several years now investing heavily in creating an infrastructure that will support a larger customer base and give us an advantage over the competition in providing a superior service to our customers. We are at a point where these investments are in place and functioning well," said Jeff Williams, Chief Financial Officer of America's Car-Mart, Inc. "The infrastructure investments we have made will pay off as we buy good vehicles at good prices, sell them to good hard-working people who have the desire and the ability to pay, and then provide outstanding service after the sale, which is so important to our customer base. Our cash on cash returns are attractive, and we must ensure that we improve sales productivity and lot level execution consistently across our dealerships. We are committed to making that happen."
"Our debt to equity ratio is 45.3% and our debt to receivable ratio is 24.4%, down from 24.6% at the two previous quarter ends. We re-purchased 43,658 shares for $1.7 million for an average cost of $38.43 during the quarter, and since February 10, 2010, we have repurchased 3.8 million shares, or 32% of our Company, for $125 million at an average cost of $33.24," added Mr. Williams. "As always, we are focused on cash flows and growing value over the long-term. Since April 30, 2015, we have repurchased $4 million in common stock, incurred $2.9 million in capital expenditures and grown finance receivables by $10.3 million with only a $1.7 million increase in debt. We actually paid down $1 million in debt during the second quarter."
