Third Quarter Business Performance Review

Sales. Total used vehicle unit sales grew 9.1% and comparable store used unit sales rose 5.4% versus the prior year’s third quarter. The comparable store sales performance resulted from increases in both conversion and store traffic. Our sales performance included a reduction in the Tier 3 sales mix to 10.2% of used unit sales from 13.8% in the prior year’s third quarter. Tier 3 sales represent those financed by our Tier 3 third-party finance providers to whom we pay a fee and those in CAF’s Tier 3 loan origination activity. For the non-Tier 3 customer base, comparable store used unit sales rose 9.8%.

Wholesale vehicle unit sales declined 2.2% versus the third quarter of fiscal 2016, as contributions from the growth in our store base and an improved appraisal buy rate were more than offset by a reduction in appraisal traffic.

Other sales and revenues increased 1.0% compared with the third quarter of fiscal 2016. Improvements in extended protection plan (EPP) revenues and third-party finance fees were largely offset by a decrease in new vehicle sales that resulted from the disposal of two of our four new car franchises during the third quarter of fiscal 2016. EPP revenues increased 14.0%, largely reflecting the growth in our used unit sales and pricing changes. Net third-party finance fees improved by 32.9%, primarily due to the reduced proportion of our sales attributable to Tier 3 finance providers.
