Part iv: Fairness opinion & Conclusion • Copart was a very healthy company but the overseas expansion has not been troublesome. • The fair value of Copart Common stock should be $21.49-$27.74 per share. • Today’s trading price is $41.45. The big difference is due to high speculative estimation about revenue increase rate, the company new aggressive stock repurchase program and uncertainty about oversea operations. Our recommendation: SELL 300 Shares at Market
Q & A: • Any Questions ?
Appendix: MACROECONOMIC EFFECTS- Oil • The increased oil price would negatively influence Copart profits: • Increased operating related costs(transportation, utility, etc.) • In the long run changes people driving habits (driving slow or using Bus)
Appendix: Currency Effects • The decreased value of USD to Euro would increase Copart value : • Domestically, Copart as a exporter, foreign customers would feel cars relatively cheap and increase the volume of VB2. • In UK, since Copart as a principle, the currency effect is not material. (both buy side and sell side deal business using the same currency. )
Notice: Gross Profit Margin Decrease • the cost of purchased cars of $48.3 million • a charge of $0.6 million for the acceptance of fraudulent buyer credit card payments for cars sold on behalf of our suppliers,
