Copart Reports First Quarter Fiscal 2011 Financial Results

Fairfield, Calif. (November 30, 2010) – Copart, Inc. (NASDAQ: CPRT) today reported the results for its first quarter ended October 31, 2010.

For the three months ended October 31, 2010, revenue, operating income and net income were $212.7 million, $59.6 million and $37.8 million, respectively. These represent increases in revenue of $27.2 million, or 14.7%; in operating income of $3.1 million, or 5.5%; and in net income of $2.6 million, or 7.2%, from the same quarter last year. Fully diluted earnings per share for the three months ended October 31, 2010 were $0.45 compared to $0.42 for the same period last year, an increase of 7.1%.

On August 1, 2010, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update 2009-13, Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables. Consequently, the Company now recognizes in the period earned, certain revenues, primarily towing fees, titling fees and seller storage fees, which were previously deferred until the period the car associated with those revenues was sold. As a result of this change, the Company recognized approximately $9.1 million in revenue and $8.8 million in expenses associated with that revenue which would have otherwise been recognized in future periods.

During the first quarter of fiscal 2011, the Company repurchased 2,249,826 shares of its common stock at a weighted average price of $33.65 per share under its share repurchase program. At the end of the quarter, Copart had 12,979,454 shares available for repurchase under its share repurchase program.
