Copart, Inc. (NASDAQ: CPRT) today reported financial results for the quarter ended April 30, 2020.

For the three months ended April 30, 2020, revenue, gross profit, and net income were $550.4 million, $242.6 million, and $147.5 million, respectively. These represent a decrease in revenue of $2.8 million, or 0.5%; a decrease in gross profit of $9.0 million, or 3.6%; and a decrease in net income of $45.3 million, or 23.5%, respectively, from the same period last year. Fully diluted earnings per share for the three months were $0.62 compared to $0.81 last year, a decrease of 23.5%.

For the nine months ended April 30, 2020, revenue, gross profit, and net income were $1.7 billion, $757.4 million, and $534.4 million, respectively. These represent an increase in revenue of $180.5 million, or 12.0%; an increase in gross profit of $101.6 million, or 15.5%; and an increase in net income of $96.2 million, or 21.9%, respectively, from the same period last year. Fully diluted earnings per share for the nine months were $2.24 compared to $1.82 last year, an increase of 23.1%.

Excluding the impact of discrete income tax items, disposal of non-operating assets, foreign currency-related gains and losses, certain income tax benefits and payroll taxes related to accounting for stock option exercises, and the effect on common equivalent shares from ASU 2016-09, non-GAAP fully diluted earnings per share for the three and nine months ended April 30, 2020 and 2019, were $0.58, $0.66, $1.88 and $1.64, respectively. A reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable financial measures computed in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) can be found in the tables attached to this press release.
