Road congestion Between 1982-2002, miles traveled increased 79% while highway lane miles increased 3% Congested roads grew from 34% to 58% during same period Current situation 2000 Federal Highway Administration report states “the average annual Cost to Maintain Highways and Bridges projected for the 2001-2020 period is $11.3 billion (17.5%) higher than 2000 expenditures, while the Cost to Improve Highways and Bridges exceeds current spending by $42.2 billion (65.3%)” “Comparison of Spending and Investment Requirements”, 2002 Status of the Nation’s Highways, Bridges and Transit: Conditions and Performance. Market Overview
Market Overview • Automobile design • Manufacturers are incorporating certain design features that increase passenger safety • Unibody construction, passenger safety cages with crumble zones, plastic components, airbags, and computer systems • Safety features will make it more likely for vehicles to be deemed total losses if involved in accident • Gasoline prices • Shrink margins under PIP program • Significant increases could lead to reduction in miles driven per car and a reduction in accident rates
Firm Strategy and development • Acquire and develop new salvage vehicle facilities in key markets • Opened 11 facilities is FY 2006 and 10 in FY 2005 • Pursue national and regional vehicle supply agreements • Primarily with insurance companies • Expand service offerings to suppliers and buyers • Expand offerings to include offering software that can assist suppliers in expediting claims and salvage management tools that integrate databases • Refine VB2 and continue to integrate into acquired facilities
Stock performance • Stock price: $29.80 • 52 week range: $21.14 - $30.39 • CPRT vs. NASDAQ and S&P for 1 year and 5 year intervals
Stock performance • CPRT vs. KAR (ADESA) for 1 year and 5 year intervals • Only pure player competitor
Portfolio fit Correlation Matrix
Firm performance • ROE driven by increasing profit margin in recent periods. • Profit margins hurt in FY 2006 by Hurricanes Rita and Katrina
Firm performance • Decrease to operating and net profit margins in FY 2003 caused by “increase in yard and fleet expenses due to handling increased volume at existing operations and the costs of new facilities” CPRT FY 2003 10-k pg. 24 • “The increases in yard expenses were primarily attributable to the cost of handling increased volume, a general increase in subhauling costs and the incremental abnormal costs incurred as a result of hurricanes Kartina Rita.” CPRT 10-k pg. 33
Discounted Cash Flow • Basic assumptions • Revenues continue to show steady increase as CPRT continues to purchase and integrate new facilities • G&A decreases slightly over time as installation of VB2 becomes complete • Must still maintain staff to service/upgrade • Vehicle pooling costs increase due to increases in gas prices and towing costs • Under Percentage Incentive Program, can not pass these costs onto customer resulting in smaller margins
Discounted Cash Flow • Step 1: Forecast FCF • Step 2: Find WACC
Discounted Cash Flow • Step 3: Calculate PV of FCF • Step 4: Subtract L-T debt and divide by shares outstanding
Discounted Cash Flow • Sensitivity analysis
Discounted Cash Flow • Downside scenario • Gas prices rise significantly • Worst case scenario • CPRT loses big insurance companies as vehicle suppliers • Remember, 83% from insurance companies and 14% from State Farm alone!
Recommendation • HOLD all 1000 shares of CPRT • CPRT has shown continued ability to purchase and integrate new facilities into current system without debt • CPRT continues to develop its service offerings setting the curve in the industry
