America's Car-Mart Explores Asset Sales or Bankruptcy
America's Car-Mart, which is struggling to write new loans to customers or buy more cars to sell to them, has been exploring potential asset sales that could see the company wind down altogether, either in or out of bankruptcy court protection, people familiar with the matter told Bloomberg's Eliza Ronalds-Hannon, Reshmi Basu and Scott Carpenter. While reporting a 52% plunge in inventory and a 27% drop in car sales in its fiscal Q4 last week, CEO Doug Campbell reiterated that the company is hunting for new financing to jump-start operations, the report noted.
America's Car-Mart reports Q4 adjusted EPS ($3.56) vs. $1.26 last year
Reports Q4 revenue $302.83M, consensus $339.99M. President and CEO Doug Campbell said: "Our fourth quarter results reflect the actions we took to preserve liquidity, reduce risk, and operate within our capital structure - and you can see that in our financial performance. The year did not meet our expectations, but this is a liquidity and capital-structure story, not a credit-quality one. On credit, our charge-off ratio ticked up to 7.5% in the fourth quarter, from 6.9% a year ago. Part of that is simply a smaller book - with fewer new loans, our finance receivables are about 6.4% smaller than a year ago, and a smaller balance raises the percentage. The rest reflects our customers paying more at the pump for much of the year, along with some disruption from our dealership consolidations - and we're watching both closely. Underlying credit behavior has been relatively stable, even against those pressures."

Q3 Revenue at $286.792M, Below Consensus
Reports Q3 revenue $286.792M, consensus $329.26M. President and CEO Doug Campbell commentary: "Our third quarter results reflect the impact of our ongoing capital structure transition on origination volumes. The sales volume decline this quarter is a direct result of the moderation of capital deployed on inventory purchases and not a reflection of demand. Sales for the quarter were further challenged by severe weather in the South-Central U.S., which affected our entire footprint and resulted in significant store closures in the last week of January, as well as the impact of operating with a 12% smaller store footprint year-over-year. Our top-of-funnel metrics remained strong throughout the quarter as the need for affordable, quality used vehicles among credit-challenged customers remains robust."
America's Car-Mart Completes Phase Two of Cost Control Strategy
America's Car-Mart announced the completion of phase two of its previously announced SG&A cost control strategy through footprint optimization, which includes the consolidation of 13 locations into higher-performing nearby dealerships. This realignment follows five store consolidations that were completed in November 2025 as part of Phase 1, for a total of 18 locations across both phases. "Our footprint optimization strategy reflects our commitment to operational excellence and disciplined capital allocation," said Doug Campbell, president and CEO. "By concentrating resources in our highest-performing markets, we are positioning Car-Mart to deliver improved returns while maintaining the exceptional customer experience that defines our brand. The flexibility provided by our new capital structure enables us to make these strategic decisions with confidence."
