DALLAS–(BUSINESS WIRE)–#CopartEarnings–Copart, Inc. (NASDAQ: CPRT) today reported financial results for the quarter ended April 30, 2021.

For the three months ended April 30, 2021, revenue, gross profit, and net income were $733.9 million, $381.3 million, and $286.8 million, respectively. These represent an increase in revenue of $183.6 million, or 33.4%; an increase in gross profit of $138.7 million, or 57.2%; and an increase in net income of $139.3 million, or 94.5%, respectively, from the same period last year. Fully diluted earnings per share for the three months were $1.19 compared to $0.62 last year, an increase of 91.9%.

For the nine months ended April 30, 2021, revenue, gross profit, and net income were $1.9 billion, $985.6 million, and $680.5 million, respectively. These represent an increase in revenue of $264.0 million, or 15.7%; an increase in gross profit of $228.2 million, or 30.1%; and an increase in net income of $146.1 million, or 27.3%, respectively, from the same period last year.

Excluding the impact of certain discrete income tax items, foreign currency-related gains and losses, certain income tax benefits and payroll taxes related to stock-based compensation, non-GAAP fully diluted earnings per share for the three months ended April 30, 2021 and 2020, were $1.09, and $0.58, respectively, which was an increase of 87.9%. Excluding the impact of certain discrete income tax items, foreign currency-related gains and losses, certain income tax benefits and payroll taxes related to stock-based compensation, non-GAAP fully diluted earnings per share for the nine months ended April 30, 2021 and 2020, were $2.67, and $1.87, respectively, which was an increase of 42.8%.
