Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

October 31, 2025

NOTE 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Description of Business

Copart, Inc. (“the Company”) provides vehicle sellers with a full range of services to process and sell vehicles over the internet through the Company’s Virtual Bidding Third Generation (“VB3”) internet auction-style sales technology. Vehicle sellers consist primarily of insurance companies, but also include dealers, individuals, charities, rental car companies, banks, finance companies, and fleet operators. The Company sells principally to licensed vehicle dismantlers, rebuilders, repair licensees, used vehicle dealers, exporters, and directly to the general public.

Basis of Presentation

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments of a normal recurring nature considered necessary for fair presentation of the Company’s financial position as of October 31, 2025 and July 31, 2025, its consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, changes in redeemable noncontrolling interests and stockholders’ equity for the three months ended October 31, 2025 and 2024, and its cash flows for the three months ended October 31, 2025 and 2024. These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. The interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2025. The consolidated financial statements of the Company include the accounts of the parent company, its wholly-owned subsidiaries and affiliates in which the Company holds a controlling financial interest as of financial statement date.

Use of Estimates

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with GAAP. Those principles require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amountsof assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company records its financial assets and liabilities at fair value in accordance with the framework for measuring fair value in U.S. GAAP. In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, the Company considers fair value as an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants under current market conditions. This framework establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value:

Level IObservable inputs that reflect unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities traded in active markets.
Level IIInputs other than quoted prices included within Level I that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.
Level IIIInputs that are generally unobservable. These inputs may be used with internally developed methodologies that result in management’s best estimate.

The amounts recorded for financial instruments in the Company’s consolidated financial statements, which included cash, restricted cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities approximated their fair values as of October 31, 2025 and July 31, 2025, due to the short-term nature of those instruments and are classified within Level II of the fair value hierarchy. Cash equivalents are classified within Level II of the fair value hierarchy because they are valued using quoted market prices of the underlying investments. Held to maturity investments are classified within Level I of the fair value hierarchy because they are valued at quoted prices for identical assets that are traded in active markets. See NOTE 3 – Fair Value Measurements.

Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest

Redeemable noncontrolling interests represent a 20% noncontrolling ownership in Purple Wave, Inc., a consolidated subsidiary of the Company. Redeemable noncontrolling interests are presented outside of permanent equity on the consolidated balance sheet as they are redeemable by the holders of the noncontrolling interest and the redemption is outside the control of the Company. The redeemable noncontrolling interests were initially recorded at their issuance date fair value of $25.2 million. We record the carrying amount of the redeemable noncontrolling interests at the greater of (i) the initial carrying amount, increased or decreased for the noncontrolling interest’s share of net income or loss and its share of other comprehensive income or loss, and dividends or (ii) the redemption value. For interests that are redeemable in the future, we recognize changes in the redemption value immediately as they occur. Shares are redeemable at adjusted fair value from the third anniversary of the acquistion through the 10th anniversary of the acquisition, and are redeemable at fair value thereafter.

Cash, Cash Equivalents, and Restricted Cash

The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with original maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents. Cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash include cash held in checking, U.S. Treasury Bills, and money market accounts. The Company periodically invests its excess cash in money market funds and U.S. Treasury Bills. The Company’s cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash are placed with high credit quality financial institutions.

The Company had held to maturity securities comprised of U.S. Treasury Bills as of October 31, 2025 and July 31, 2025. These investments were classified as held to maturity as the Company had the intent and ability to hold these investments until they matured. The table below shows the amortized cost, associated gross unrealized gains and associated fair value of held to maturity securities.

NOTE 2 – Long-Term Debt

Credit Agreement

On December 21, 2021, the Company entered into a Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement by and among the Company, certain subsidiaries of the Company party thereto, the lenders party thereto, and Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent (the “Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement”). The Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement amends and restates certain terms of the First Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of July 21, 2020, by and among the Company, the lenders party thereto, and Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent (as successor in interest to Wells Fargo Bank, National Association) (the “Existing Credit Agreement”). The Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement provides for, among other things, (a) an increase in the secured revolving credit commitments by $200.0 million, bringing the aggregate principal amount of the revolving credit commitments under the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Revolving Loan Facility”) to $1,250.0 million, (b) an increase in the letter of credit sublimit from $60.0 million to $100.0 million, (c) addition of Copart UK Limited, CPRT GmbH and Copart Autos España, S.L.U., each a wholly-owned direct or indirect foreign subsidiary of the Company, as borrowers, (d) addition of the ability to borrow under the Second and Amended and Restated Credit Agreement in certain foreign currencies including Pounds Sterling, Euro and Canadian Dollars, (e) extension of the maturity date of the revolving credit facility under the Existing Credit Agreement from July 21, 2023 to December 21, 2026, (f) replacing the LIBOR interest rate applicable to U.S. Dollar denominated borrowings with a SOFR-based interest rate, and (g) changing the pricing levels with respect to the revolving loans as further described below.

The Second and Amended and Restated Credit Agreement provides for the Revolving Loan Facility of $1,250.0 million maturing on December 21, 2026 (including up to $550.0 million equivalent of borrowings in Pounds Sterling, Euro and Canadian Dollars) with a $150.0 million equivalent sub-facility available to CPRT GmbH, a $150.0 million equivalent sub-facility available to Copart Autos España, S.L.U. and a $250.0 million equivalent sub-facility available to Copart UK Limited. The proceeds may be used for general corporate purposes, including working capital and capital expenditures, potential share repurchases, acquisitions, or other investments relating to the Company’s expansion strategies in domestic and international markets.

Borrowings under the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement bear interest based on, at our option, either (1) the applicable fixed rate plus 1.00% to 1.75% or (2) the daily rate plus 0.0% to 0.75%, in each case, depending on the Company’s consolidated total net leverage ratio. Additionally, the unused revolving commitments under the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement are subject to the payment of a customary commitment fee at a range of 0.175% to 0.275%, depending on the Company’s consolidated total net leverage ratio. The applicable fixed rates described above with respect to borrowings denominated in (1) U.S. Dollars is SOFR plus certain “spread adjustments” described in the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, (2) Pounds Sterling is SONIA plus certain “spread adjustments” described in the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, (3) Euro is EURIBOR, and (4) Canadian Dollars is CDOR. The Company hadno outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Loan Facility as of October 31, 2025 and July 31, 2025.

The Company’s obligations under the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement are guaranteed by certain of the Company’s domestic subsidiaries meeting materiality thresholds set forth in the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. Such obligations, including the guaranties, are secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company and the assets of the subsidiary guarantors pursuant to a Security Documents Confirmation Agreement as part of the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement.

The Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants, including covenants that limit or restrict the Company and its subsidiaries’ ability to, among other things, incur indebtedness, grant liens, merge or consolidate, dispose of assets, make investments, make acquisitions, enter into transactions with affiliates, pay dividends, or make distributions on and repurchase stock, in each case subject to certain exceptions. The Company is also required to maintain compliance, measured at the end of each fiscal quarter, with a consolidated total net leverage ratio and a consolidated interest coverage ratio. The Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement contains no restrictions on the payment of dividends and other restricted payments, as defined, as long as (1) the consolidated total net leverage ratio, as defined, both before and after giving effect to any such dividend or restricted payment on a pro forma basis, is less than 3.25:1, in an unlimited amount, (2) if clause (1) is not available, so long as the consolidated total net leverage ratio both before and after giving effect to any such dividend on a pro forma basis is less than 3.50:1, in an aggregate amount not to exceed the available amount, as defined, and (3) if clauses (1) and (2) are not available, in an aggregate amount not to exceed $50.0 million; provided, that, minimum liquidity, as defined, shall be not less than $75.0 million both before and after giving effect to any such dividend or restricted payment. As of October 31, 2025, the consolidated total net leverage ratio was(2.55):1. Minimum liquidity available as of October 31, 2025 was $6.4 billion. Accordingly, the Company does not believe that the provisions of the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement represent a significant restriction to its ability to pay dividends or to the successful future operations of the business. The Company has not paid a cash dividend since becoming a public company in 1994. The Company was in compliance with all covenants related to the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement as of October 31, 2025.

Related to execution of the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, the Company incurred $2.7 million in costs, which were capitalized as debt issuance fees. The debt issuance cost is amortized to interest expense over the term of the respective debt instruments and is included in other assets on the consolidated balance sheet.

NOTE 3 – Fair Value Measurements

The following table summarizes the carrying values and fair values of the Company’s financial instruments that were not carried at fair value in the consolidated balance sheets:

Total Assets$4,906,698$4,915,952$4,205,132$4,228,626

The Company has investments in U.S. Treasury Bills some of which mature over a period greater than 90 days and are classified as short-term investments. The U.S. Treasury Bills are carried at amortized cost and classified as held to maturity as the Company has the intent and the ability to hold them until they mature. The carrying value of the U.S. Treasury Bills are adjusted for accretion of discounts over the remaining life of the investment. Income related to the Treasury Bills is recognized in interest income in the Company’s consolidated statement of income. The U.S. Treasury Bills are classified within Level I of the fair value hierarchy.

During the three months ended October 31, 2025, no transfers were made between any levels within the fair value hierarchy.

NOTE 4 – Net Income Per Share

The table below reconciles basic weighted average shares outstanding to diluted weighted average shares outstanding:

Three Months Ended October 31,
(In thousands)20252024
Weighted average common shares outstanding967,650963,176
Effect of dilutive securities9,45013,330
Weighted average common and dilutive potential common shares outstanding977,100976,506

There were no material adjustments to net income required in calculating diluted net income per share. Excluded from the dilutive net income per share calculation were 2,078,513 and 1,105,573 options to purchase the Company’s common stock and restricted stock for thethree months ended October 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.

NOTE 5 – Stock-based Compensation

Refer to Note 12 - Stockholders’ Equityof the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Form 10-K for further description of the various types of stock-based compensation awards, their valuations and their award terms. Thetable below sets forth the stock-based compensation recognized by the Company for stock options, restricted stock awards ("RSA"), restricted stock unit awards ("RSU"), and performance stock units ("PSU"):

Three Months Ended October 31,
(In thousands)20252024
General and administrative$7,384$8,591
Facility operations1,9351,824
Total stock-based compensation$9,319$10,415

The Company grants stock option awards that vest based on time or time and market conditions. For stock option awards that vest based on time the Company recognizes compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of five years. For stock option awards that vest based on time and market conditions, the Company recognizes compensation expense using the accelerated attribution method over each vesting tranche of the award. These options will become exercisable over five years, subject to continued service by the executive. Separate and apart from the time-based vesting schedule, the options are also subject to a market condition requiring the trading price of the Company's common stock on the Nasdaq Global Select Market to be greater than or equal to 125% of the exercise price of the options, determined both (i) at the time of any exercise, and (ii) based on the closing price on each of thetwenty consecutive trading days preceding the date of any exercise. The exercise price of the options is equivalent to the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the grant date. The fair value of the awards is determined at the grant date using either a Lattice or Monte Carlo model, risk-free interest rates ranging from 0.71% to 4.37%, estimated volatility ranging from 25.2% to 29.8%, andno expected dividends. The Company recognized $0.6 million and $1.3 million in compensation expense related to these awards in the three months ended October 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

The following is a summary of activity for the Company’s stock options for thethree months ended October 31, 2025:

The Company’s RSA, RSU, and PSU awards have been issued with vesting periods ranging from two years tofive years. RSA and RSU awards vest solely on service conditions while PSU awards will vest over five years, when and if certain financial performance targets are met. Accordingly, the Company recognizes compensation expense for RSA and RSU awards on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the award. Compensation expense for PSU awards is recognized on an accelerated attribution method when the achievement of certain financial performance targets appear probable and is recognized over the remaining requisite service period.

NOTE 7 –Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Pending

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09 "Income Taxes (Topics 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures" to expand the disclosure requirements for income taxes, primarily related to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. ASU 2023-09 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. Management is currently evaluating this ASU to determine its impact on the Company's disclosures.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement–Reporting Comprehensive Income–Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40). ASU 2024-03 requires disclosure of specified information about certain costs and expenses. ASU 2024-03 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted, and the amendments may be applied either prospectively or retrospectively. Management is currently evaluating this ASU to determine its impact on the Company's disclosures.

In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-05, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets, which allows entities to elect a practical expedient permitting an entity to assume that conditions at the balance sheet date remain unchanged over the life of the asset when estimating expected credit losses for current classified accounts receivable and contract assets. ASU 2025-05 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2025, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. Early adoption is permitted in both interim and annual reporting periods in which financial statements have not yet been issued or made available for issuance. Management is currently evaluating this ASU to determine its impact on the Company's consolidated results of operations and financial position.

In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06 Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software, which remove all references to prescriptive and sequential software development stages (referred to as “project stages”) throughout Subtopic 350-40. ASU 2025-06 is effective for all entities for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. Early adoption is permitted and may be applied prospectively, retrospectively, or modified transition approach that is based on the status of the project and whether software costs were capitalized before the date of adoption. Management is currently evaluating this ASU to determine its impact on the Company's consolidated results of operations and financial position.

NOTE 8 – Legal Proceedings

The Company is subject to threats of litigation and is involved in actual litigation and damage claims arising in the ordinary course of business, such as actions related to injuries, property damage, contract disputes, and handling or disposal of vehicles. In addition, from time to time, the Company receives communications from government or regulatory agencies concerning investigations or allegations of noncompliance with laws or regulations in jurisdictions in which the Company operates. Except as otherwise noted in this Note 8, there are no material pending legal proceedings to which the Company is a party, or with respect to which any of the Company’s property is subject.

The Company provides accruals for matters when a loss is probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated. The effect of the outcome of any such matters on the Company’s future consolidated results of operations and cash flows cannot be predicted because any such effect depends on future results of operations and the amount and timing of the resolution of any such matters. The Company believes that any ultimate liability regarding existing litigation and claims would not have a material effect on its consolidated results of operations, financial position, or cash flows. However, legal and regulatory proceedings are inherently unpredictable, and the amount of the liabilities associated with claims, if any, cannot be determined with certainty. If one or more matters were resolved against us for amounts in excess of the Company’s expectations, the impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations, financial position, or cash flow could be material. The Company maintains insurance which may or may not provide coverage for claims made against the Company. There is no assurance that there will be insurance coverage available when and if needed. Additionally, the insurance that the Company carries requires that the Company pay for costs and/or claims exposure up to the amount of the insurance deductibles.

The U.S. Department of Justice, Consumer Protection Branch (DOJ) is conducting an ongoing investigation into potential violations by the Company of certain money laundering laws related to its practices and procedures for preventing and detecting money-laundering activity by its auction platform members. In connection with this investigation, the Company received a letter from the DOJ in October 2023 in which the DOJ indicated the Company may have exposure as a result of potential violations of such money laundering statutes and regulations. The Company is cooperating with the DOJ’s investigation. At this time, we are unable to predict the duration, scope, or result of any potential governmental, criminal, or civil proceeding that may result, the imposition of fines and penalties, and/or other remedies, and as a result, are unable to predict the range of possible loss.
