About America's Car-Mart

America's Car-Mart helps people buy used cars when banks say no. It sells older vehicles and offers in-house financing for buyers with limited credit. This makes car ownership possible for many who might otherwise be left out.

What’s on the Lot? (Products and Services)

  • Used Vehicle Sales: Sells older model cars, making up 85.1% of sales; targets buyers with limited credit.
  • In-House Financing: Offers installment loans with interest rates from 12.99% to 23.00% for car buyers.
  • Service Contracts: Provides vehicle service plans, 7.9% of sales, covering repairs for a set period.
  • Accident Protection Plans: Sells plans (3.1% of sales) that cancel loan balances if a car is totaled or stolen.
  • Wholesale Vehicle Sales: Sells repossessed vehicles to other dealers, representing 3.9% of sales.

Growth and Expansion: The Road So Far

  • Acquired Texas Auto Center in June 2024, adding two Texas locations.
  • Expanded dealership count to 154 as of July 2025, mainly in the South-Central US.
  • Rolled out a new loan origination system in 2025 to improve credit risk assessment.
  • Upgraded payments platform in 2025 to support more online transactions.
  • Broadened vehicle sourcing and reconditioning partnerships since 2024 to improve inventory quality.

What Makes Car-Mart Stand Out?

Car-Mart combines car sales and financing under one roof, serving buyers who lack access to traditional loans. Its proprietary credit scoring and flexible payment options help manage risk and customer retention. Technology upgrades support better underwriting and collections, giving it an operational edge in a challenging market.

Five Things You Need to Know

  • Revenue was $341.3 million in Q1 FY2026, down 1.9% year-over-year.
  • Gross margin rose to 36.6% in Q1 FY2026, up from 35.0% a year earlier.
  • Retail units sold fell 5.7% to 13,568 in Q1 FY2026.
  • Net loss was $5.75 million in Q1 FY2026, compared to $0.97 million loss last year.

Bottom Line

Car-Mart has grown by focusing on used car buyers with limited credit options. Its integrated sales and financing model adapts to changing market and customer needs.
