Projections • Valuation is extremely dependent on growth rate • Copart will see higher volume • Revenues will depend on the price of steel • 50% of UK revenues have been related to the value of the selling price • Selling price is dependent on the price of steel • Margins will decline due to a higher % of business in the UK • Copart, Inc. acts as a principal in the UK
Projections • Growth depends on: • Acquisitions • Entered UK market in June 2007 • Volume changes in the salvage car market • Growth in market share • Fees dependent car selling prices • Growth in non-insurance company sellers
Projections • Higher Volume = More Fee Revenue • More cars are declared totaled because difference between value before accident and value after accident widens • Lower used-car pricing • Auto manufacturers providing more features in cars
