Item 1A. Risk Factors
107 rewritten, 27 added, 19 removed, 262 unchanged
[removed: No] [added: Although no] single customer accounted for more than 10% of our consolidated revenues for fiscal [removed: 2019.][added: 2020, a limited number of vehicle sellers historically have collectively accounted for a substantial portion of our revenues.]
Subsequently, in fiscal [added: 2007 and fiscal] 2008 we made [removed: a] significant [removed: acquisition] [added: acquisitions] in the U.K., followed by acquisitions in the U.A.E., Brazil, Germany, and Spain in fiscal 2013, expansions into Bahrain and Oman in fiscal 2015, expansion into the Republic of Ireland and India in fiscal 2016, and an acquisition in Finland in fiscal 2018.
[added: In addition, we continue to evaluate acquisitions and other opportunities outside of the] U.S. Acquisitions or other strategies to expand our operations outside of the U.S. pose substantial risks and uncertainties that could have an adverse effect on our future operating results.
[removed: | • |] [added: -] the difficulty of managing and staffing foreign offices; [removed: |]
[removed: | • |] [added: -] the increased travel, [removed: infrastructure] [added: infrastructure,] and legal compliance costs associated with multiple international locations; [removed: |]
[removed: | • |] [added: -] the need to localize our product offerings, particularly the need to implement our online auction platform in foreign countries; [removed: |]
[removed: | • |] [added: -] the need to comply with complex foreign and U.S. laws and regulations that apply to our international operations; [removed: |]
[removed: | • | tariffs and] [added: - tariffs,] trade [removed: barriers] [added: barriers, trade disputes,] and other regulatory or contractual limitations on our ability to operate in certain foreign markets; [removed: |]
[removed: | • |] [added: -] exposure to foreign currency exchange rate risk, which may have an adverse impact on our revenues and revenue growth rates; [removed: |]
[removed: | • |] [added: -] adapting to different business [removed: cultures] [added: cultures, languages,] and market structures, particularly where we seek to implement our auction model in markets where insurers have historically not played a substantial role in the disposition of salvage vehicles; [removed: and |]
[removed: | • |] [added: -] repatriation of funds currently held in foreign jurisdictions to the U.S. may result in higher effective tax [removed: rates. |][added: rates;]
Although we believe we generally enjoy positive community relationships and political support in our range of operations, shifting public opinion sentiments and [removed: socio-political] [added: sociopolitical] dynamics could have an adverse effect on our business and reputation.
Our operations and acquisitions in certain foreign areas expose us to [added: political,] regulatory, economic, and reputational risks.
Although we have implemented policies, [removed: procedures] [added: procedures,] and training designed to ensure compliance with anti-bribery laws, trade controls and economic sanctions, and similar regulations, our employees or agents may take actions in violation of our policies.
In many countries outside of the United States, particularly in those with developing economies, it may be common for persons to engage in business practices prohibited by laws and regulations applicable to us, such as the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act [removed: (FCPA),] [added: (“FCPA”),] U.K. Bribery Act, Brazil Clean Companies Act, India’s Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988 or similar local anti-bribery laws.
Some of our target markets outside the U.S. operate in a manner substantially different than our historic market in the U.S. For example, new markets may operate either wholly or partially on the principal model, in which the vehicle is purchased [added: and] then resold for our own account, rather than the agency model employed in the U.S., in which we generally act as a sales agent for the legal owner of vehicles.
We have developed a [added: new] proprietary enterprise operating system, and we may experience difficulties operating our business as we continue to design and develop this system.
We have developed a [added: new] proprietary enterprise operating system to address our international expansion needs.
The ongoing design, development, and implementation of our enterprise operating systems [removed: carry] [added: carries] certain risks, including the risk of significant design or deployment errors causing disruptions, delays or deficiencies, which may make our website and services unavailable.
In addition, the transition to our internally developed proprietary system will continue to require us to commit substantial financial, operational and technical resources before the volume of business increases, without assurance [removed: that the volume of business will increase.]
If we are unable to successfully implement the information systems enhancements as planned, our financial position, results of [removed: operations] [added: operations,] and cash flows could be negatively impacted.
Any failure to maintain the integrity of our systems and infrastructure may result in loss of customers [removed: due to] [added: due,] among other things, [added: to] slow delivery times, unreliable service [removed: levels] [added: levels,] or insufficient capacity, [added: any of] which could have a material adverse effect on our business, consolidated financial [removed: position] [added: position,] and results of operations.
Disruptions to our information technology systems, including failure to prevent outages, maintain security, [added: and] prevent unauthorized access to our information technology systems and other confidential information, could disrupt our business and materially and adversely affect our reputation, consolidated results of [removed: operations] [added: operations,] and financial condition.
[added: In addition, human error or accidental technological failure could make us vulnerable to information] technology system disruptions and/or cyber-attacks, including the introduction of malicious computer viruses or code into our system, phishing attacks, or other information technology data security incidents.
Our operations rely on the secure processing, [removed: transmission] [added: transmission,] and storage of confidential, proprietary and other information in our computer systems and networks.
Our customers and other parties in the payments value chain rely on our digital technologies, computer and email systems, [removed: software] [added: software,] and networks to conduct their operations.
In addition, to access our products and services, our customers increasingly use personal smartphones, tablet [removed: PCs] [added: PCs,] and other mobile devices that may be beyond our control.
Information technology system disruptions, [removed: cyber-attacks] [added: cyber-attacks,] or other cyber security incidents could materially and adversely affect our reputation, operating results, or financial condition by, among other things, making our auction platform inoperable for a period of time, damaging our reputation with buyers, sellers, and insurance companies as a result of the unauthorized disclosure of confidential information (including account data information), or resulting in governmental investigations, litigation, liability, fines, or penalties against us.
We are [removed: constantly] [added: regularly] evaluating and implementing new technologies and processes to manage risks relating to cyber-attacks and system and network disruptions, including but not limited to usage errors by our employees, power [removed: outages] [added: outages,] and catastrophic events such as fires, tornadoes, floods, [removed: hurricanes] [added: hurricanes,] and earthquakes.
[added: Any such breach or unauthorized access could] result in significant legal and financial exposure, damage to our reputation, and a loss of confidence in the security of our products and services that could have an adverse effect on our consolidated financial position and results of operations.
We are subject to federal, state and international laws, directives, and regulations relating to the collection, use, retention, disclosure, [removed: security] [added: security,] and transfer of personal data.
For example, the General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”), which went into effect in the European Union [removed: (“EU”)] on May 25, 2018, applies to all of our activities conducted from an establishment in the [removed: EU] [added: European Union] and may also apply to related products and services that we offer to [removed: EU] [added: European Union] users.
Similarly, the California Consumer Privacy Act, or AB375 (“CCPA”) and the Brazilian General Data Protection Law (“LGPD”), were also recently enacted and [added: became effective in 2020 and] these laws create new data privacy rights for [removed: individuals, both of which become effective in 2020.][added: individuals.]
For example, Hurricanes Katrina, Rita, Sandy, and Harvey had, in certain quarters, an adverse effect on our operating results, in part because of yard capacity constraints in the impacted areas of the [removed: United States.][added: U.S. We regularly evaluate our capacity in all our markets and where appropriate, and seek to increase capacity through the acquisition of additional land and yards.]
[removed: NPA currently operates facilities] [added: For example,] in [removed: nine locations across the U.S. In] fiscal 2018, we opened three new operational facilities in the U.S., a new operational facility in the U.K., a new operational facility in Germany, and acquired [added: four] locations in [removed: the municipalities of Espoo; Pirkkala; Oulu; and Turku,] Finland.
[added: In fiscal 2019, we opened one new operational] facility in Brazil; seven new operational facilities in Germany; and eleven new operational facilities in the U.S., and acquired an operational facility in Greenville, Kentucky.
[added: In fiscal 2020, we opened two new operational facilities in Germany, one new operational facility in Brazil, and three new operational facilities in the U.S.] Acquisitions are difficult to identify and complete for a number of reasons, including competition among prospective buyers, the availability of affordable financing in the capital markets and the need to satisfy applicable closing conditions and obtain antitrust and other regulatory approvals on acceptable terms.
[removed: | • |] [added: -] continue to acquire additional facilities on favorable terms; [removed: |]
[removed: | • |] [added: -] expand existing facilities in no-growth regulatory environments; [removed: |]
[removed: | • |] [added: -] obtain or retain buyers, sellers, and sales volumes in new markets or facilities; [removed: |]
We expect the worldwide COVID-19 pandemic to have an adverse impact on our near-term revenues principally as a result of lower auction inventories.
The geographic extent, length, and economic impact of the pandemic is unknown, but we expect it will adversely affect our business and operating results.
We saw substantial declines in vehicle assignments, which we attribute principally to reduced accident volume as miles driven dramatically declined in response to shelter-in-place orders across the globe.
As we do not recognize the majority of our transactional revenues until the completion of our auctions, a substantial portion of the declines in assignments we experienced in the most recent quarter will be reflected in future quarters.
We cannot predict how the pandemic will continue to develop, whether and to what extent new shelter-in-place orders will be issued, or to what extent the pandemic may have longer term unanticipated impacts on our markets, including, for example, the risk of long-term reductions in miles driven.
To the extent that the pandemic results in temporary or longer-term declines in the number of vehicles we process, our business and operating results could be adversely affected.
Although we have been deemed an “essential business” in the jurisdictions in which we operate and have largely been able to continue our yard operations, we have been required to make adjustments in our business processes that may reduce efficiency or increase operating expenses, particularly if the pandemic continues over a long period of time.
To date, we have not made modifications that materially affect our operating expenses, and while we regularly monitor them, we may not be able to respond with sufficient speed to align revenues and operating expenses when necessary, which could result in a drop in our stock price as a result of our operating or net income for one or more fiscal periods being less than market expectations.
Additional, non-exclusive examples of pandemic-related factors that could adversely affect our future business or operating results include the potential adverse operational impacts from outbreaks of COVID-19 at any of our locations; “second wave” outbreaks of COVID-19 in one or more of our geographic markets; a reduction in miles driven due to one or more factors
relating to the COVID-19 pandemic; any further government actions in response to COVID-19 outbreaks that restrict business activity or travel; disruptions of governmental administrative operations due to COVID-19 outbreaks that adversely impact our core business activities, such as vehicle title processing; and deteriorating economic conditions generally.

On January 29, 2020, the European Parliament approved the U.K.’s withdrawal from the European Union, commonly referred to as “Brexit.” The U.K. officially left the European Union on January 31, 2020 and entered into a transition period that is scheduled to expire on December 31, 2020 during which the U.K.’s trading relationship with the European Union is expected to remain largely the same while the two parties negotiate a trade agreement as well as other aspects of the U.K.’s relationship with the European Union.

These programs could also create additional risks including heightened regulation and litigation risk related to vehicle sales to the general public, and heightened branding, reputational, and intellectual property risk associated with allowing Copart registered members to establish Copart-branded storefronts in foreign jurisdictions.

In the salvage vehicle remarketing industry, large numbers of wrecked vehicles are stored at storage facilities, requiring us to actively monitor and manage potential environmental impacts.
Any subsequent repeal of the Tax Act could adversely affect our financial condition or results of operations.

On June 23, 2016, the U.K. held a referendum in which voters approved an exit from the European Union, commonly referred to as “Brexit.” In February 2017, the British Parliament voted in favor of allowing the British government to begin negotiating the terms of the U.K.’s withdrawal from the European Union and discussions with the European Union began in March 2017.
For example, during fiscal 2017, we recognized a $19.4 million charge primarily related to fully impairing costs previously capitalized in connection with the development of business operating software.

Recent regulatory changes in Europe have created compliance uncertainty regarding certain transfers of personal data from Europe to the United States.
We regularly evaluate our capacity in all our markets and where appropriate, seek to increase capacity through the acquisition of additional land and yards.
For example, in fiscal 2017, we opened a new operational facility in Germany, a new operational facility in Brazil, nine new operational facilities in the U.S. and acquired Cycle Express, LLC, which conducts business primarily as National Powersport Auctions (NPA), a leading non-salvage auction platform for motorcycles, snowmobiles, watercraft and other powersports vehicles.

Among other laws and regulations, we are subject at the state level to land use ordinances, business licensure requirements and procedures, vehicle registration rules and procedures, and regulations relating to zoning and land use.
We believe that we are in compliance in all material respects with applicable regulatory requirements.
In the salvage vehicle remarketing industry, large numbers of wrecked vehicles are stored at storage facilities and during that time, spills of fuel, motor oil and other fluids may occur, resulting in soil, surface water or groundwater contamination.
In addition, certain of our facilities generate and/or store petroleum products and other hazardous materials, including waste solvents and used oil.

The repeal of the $1.0 million deduction limit for performance-based compensation, the new U.S. taxes on accumulated and future foreign earnings and other adverse changes resulting from the Tax Act, or a change in the mix of domestic and foreign earnings, might offset the benefit from the reduced tax rate, and our future effective tax rates and/or cash taxes may increase, even significantly, or not decrease much, compared to recent or historical trends.

*This Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year [removed: ended* *July] [added: ended July] 31, [removed: 2019,] [added: 2020,] or this Form 10-K, including the information incorporated by reference herein, contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Securities Act), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange [removed: Act).][added: Act), including forward-looking statements concerning the potential impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business, operations, and operating results.]
Unless the context otherwise requires, references in this Form 10-K to “Copart,” the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our” refer to Copart, Inc. We encourage investors to review these factors carefully together with the other matters referred to herein, as well as in the other documents we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission [removed: (the SEC).][added: (“the SEC”).]
We are a leading provider of online auctions and vehicle remarketing services with operations in the United States [removed: (U.S.),] [added: (“U.S.”),] Canada, the United Kingdom [removed: (U.K.),] [added: (“U.K.”),] Brazil, the Republic of Ireland, Germany, Finland, the United Arab Emirates [removed: (U.A.E.),] [added: (“U.A.E.”),] Oman, Bahrain, and Spain.
[removed: Many] [added: For example, many] of the cars we process and remarket are subsequently restored to drivable condition, reducing the new vehicle manufacturing burden the world would otherwise face.
And finally, some of our vehicles are returned to their raw material inputs through scrapping, reducing the need for further [removed: de novo] [added: new] resource extraction.
In each [removed: case,] [added: of these cases,] our business [removed: has reduced] [added: reduces] the carbon and other environmental footprint of the global transportation industry.
[removed: In addition,] [added: Secondly,] because of the special role we play in responding to catastrophic weather events, we believe we contribute to disaster recovery and resilience in the communities we serve.
Vehicle sellers consist primarily of insurance companies, but also include banks, finance companies, charities, fleet operators, dealers and [removed: vehicles sourced directly] from [removed: individual owners.][added: individuals.]
We sell the vehicles principally to licensed vehicle dismantlers, rebuilders, repair licensees, used vehicle [removed: dealers] [added: dealers, exporters,] and [removed: exporters and, at certain locations,] [added: in some jurisdictions,] to the general public.
In the U.S., Canada, Brazil, the Republic of Ireland, Finland, the U.A.E., Oman, [removed: Bahrain,] and [removed: Spain,] [added: Bahrain,] we sell vehicles primarily as an agent and derive revenue primarily from auction and auction related sales transaction fees charged for vehicle remarketing services as well as fees for services subsequent to the auction, such as delivery and storage.
In the [removed: U.K. and] [added: U.K.,] Germany, [added: and Spain] we operate both as an agent and on a principal basis, in some cases purchasing salvage vehicles outright and reselling the vehicles for our own account.
Vehicle auction selling prices are driven primarily by: (i) [removed: changes in commodity prices, particularly the per ton price for crushed car bodies, as we believe this has an impact on the ultimate selling price of vehicles sold for scrap and vehicles sold] [added: market demand] for [removed: dismantling;] [added: rebuildable, drivable vehicles;] (ii) used car pricing, which we also believe has an impact on total loss frequency; (iii) [added: end market demand for recycled and refurbished parts as reflected in demand from dismantlers; (iv)] the mix of cars sold; [removed: and (iv)] [added: (v)] changes in the U.S. dollar exchange rate to foreign currencies, which we believe has an impact on auction participation by international [removed: buyers.][added: buyers, and; (vi) changes in commodity prices, particularly the per ton price for crushed car bodies, as we believe this has an impact on the ultimate selling price of vehicles sold for scrap and vehicles sold for dismantling.]
We cannot specifically quantify the financial impact that commodity pricing, used car pricing, and product sales mix has on the selling price of vehicles, our service [removed: revenues] [added: revenues,] or financial results.
The increase in total loss frequency may have been driven by the [removed: decline] [added: change] in used car values [removed: relative to] [added: and] repair costs, which we believe are generally trending upward.
[removed: Conversely, increases] [added: Changes] in used car [removed: prices, such as occurred during the most recent recession,] [added: prices and repair costs,] may [removed: decrease] [added: impact] total loss frequency and [removed: adversely] affect our growth rate.
The average age of cars on the road continued to increase, growing from 9.6 years in 2002 to [removed: 11.8] [added: 11.9] years in [removed: 2019.][added: 2020.]
*Operating Costs and Expenses:* Yard operations expenses consist primarily of operating personnel (which includes yard management, [removed: clerical] [added: clerical,] and yard [removed: employees), rent, contract] [added: employees); rent;] vehicle [removed: transportation, insurance, fuel,] [added: transportation; insurance; property related taxes; fuel;] equipment maintenance and [removed: repair,] [added: repair; marketing costs directly related to the auction process;] and costs of vehicles sold under the purchase contracts.
General and administrative expenses consist primarily of executive [removed: management, accounting,] [added: management; accounting;] data [removed: processing,] [added: processing;] sales [removed: personnel, human resources,] [added: personnel;] professional [removed: fees, information technology, and] [added: services;] marketing [removed: expenses.][added: expenses; and system maintenance and enhancements.]
*Other Income and Expense:* Other income primarily includes [removed: income from the rental of certain real property,] foreign exchange rate gains and losses, and gains and losses from the disposal of assets, which will fluctuate based on the nature of these activities each period.
See Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, [removed: *Note* *7] [added: *Note 8] — Long-Term [removed: Debt.*][added: Debt.*]
The primary factors affecting cash operating results are: (i) seasonality; (ii) market wins and losses; (iii) supplier mix; (iv) accident frequency; (v) total loss frequency; (vi) [removed: increased] volume from our existing suppliers; (vii) commodity pricing; (viii) used car pricing; (ix) foreign currency exchange rates; (x) product mix; (xi) contract mix to the extent applicable; [removed: and] (xii) our capital [removed: expenditures.][added: expenditures; and other macroeconomic factors such as COVID-19.]
Potential internal sources of additional working capital [added: and liquidity] are the sale of assets or the issuance of shares through option exercises and shares issued under our Employee Stock Purchase Plan.
A potential external source of additional working capital [added: and liquidity] is the issuance of additional debt with new lenders and equity.
We believe that these acquisitions and openings will strengthen our coverage, as we have facilities located in the U.S., Canada, the U.K., Brazil, the Republic of Ireland, Germany, Finland, the U.A.E., Oman, Bahrain, and Spain with the intention of providing [removed: national] [added: global] coverage for our sellers.

We are not responsible for the carbon emissions resulting from new vehicle manufacturing, governmental fuel emissions standards or vehicle use by consumers.
Each vehicle that enters our business operations is an existing fact, with whatever fuel technology and efficiency it was designed and built to have, and the substantial carbon emissions associated with the vehicle’s manufacture are already sunk costs.
However, upon our receipt of an existing vehicle, we help decrease its total environmental impact by extending its useful life and thereby avoiding the carbon emissions associated with the alternative of new vehicle and auto parts manufacturing.
Repair costs are generally based on damage severity, vehicle complexity, repair parts availability, repair parts costs, labor costs, and repair shop lead times.
Beginning in March 2020, our business and operations began to experience the impact of the worldwide COVID-19 pandemic, first within our European operations and as the month progressed throughout the balance of our global operations.
In materially all of our jurisdictions, we have been deemed by local authorities an essential business because our operations ensure the removal of vehicles from repair shops, impound yards, and streets and highways, enabling the critical function of road infrastructure.
As a result, we have continued to operate our facilities as well as our online-only auctions, while following appropriate health and safety protocols to ensure safe working conditions for our employees as well as for our sellers, buyers, and other business partners with whom we come in contact.
From a financial perspective, our operating results were adversely affected by lower processed vehicle volume during the last five months of the year ended July 31, 2020.
We saw substantial declines in vehicle assignments, which we attribute principally to reduced accident volume as miles driven dramatically declined in response to shelter-in-place orders across the globe.
As we do not recognize the majority of our transactional revenues until the completion of our auctions, a substantial portion of the declines in assignments we experienced in the most recent quarter will be reflected in future quarters.
We cannot predict how the pandemic will continue to develop, whether and to what extent new shelter-in-place orders will be issued, or to what extent the pandemic may have longer term unanticipated impacts on our markets, including, for example, the risk of long-term reductions in miles driven.
To the extent that the pandemic results in temporary or longer-term declines in the number of vehicles we process, our business and operating results could be adversely affected.
Although we have been deemed an “essential business” in the jurisdictions in which we operate and have largely been able to continue our yard operations, we have been required to make adjustments in our business processes that may reduce efficiency or increase operating expenses, particularly if the pandemic continues over a long period of time.
We adjusted, but did not make material modifications to, our operating expenses to be able to continue providing employment for our employees, service to our sellers, and process incoming vehicles for sale in future quarters.
We expect the pandemic to have an adverse effect on our quarterly revenues in future quarters, with the magnitude and timing of these effects dependent upon the extent and duration of suspended economic activity across our markets.
The longer-term impact on our business will depend on potential adverse operational impacts from outbreaks of COVID-19 at any of our locations; “second wave” outbreaks of COVID-19 in one or more of our geographic markets; a reduction in miles driven due to one or more factors relating to the COVID-19 pandemic; any further government actions in response to COVID-19 outbreaks that restrict business activity or travel; disruptions of governmental administrative operations due to COVID-19 outbreaks that adversely impact our core business activities, such as vehicle title processing; and deteriorating economic conditions generally, and the potential availability, among other things, of vaccines or treatments, none of which we can predict.
For a further discussion of risks to our business and operating results arising from the pandemic, please see the section of this Annual Report on Form 10-K captioned “Risk Factors.”
On March 20, 2020, we filed a Current Report on Form 8-K to announce our draw down of funds under our available credit facilities in order to ensure financial flexibility given current uncertainties; we subsequently repaid all outstanding borrowings under these facilities.
As of July 31, 2020, we had cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash of $477.7 million, an increase of $384.2 million over January 31, 2020, and had $1.5 billion of liquidity.
These incremental available cash equivalents may be used for investments in land, technology, acquisitions, working capital, share repurchases, or general corporate purposes as permitted by the applicable credit agreements.

The increase in the cost to process each car in fiscal 2018 in the U.S. relates to the negative impact of abnormal costs of $68.6 million for temporary storage facilities; abnormally high costs for subhaulers; increased labor costs due to overtime; travel and lodging due to the reassignment of employees; and equipment lease expenses to handle the increased volume associated with Hurricane Harvey, as the storm produced extraordinary volumes of flood damaged vehicles.
These costs did not include normal expenses associated with the increased unit volume created by the hurricane, which are deferred until the sale of the units and are recognized as vehicle pooling costs on the balance sheet.
Included in yard operations expenses were depreciation and amortization expenses.

Impairment. During fiscal 2018, we recognized a $1.1 million charge primarily related to fully impairing a supply contract in the International segment.
During fiscal 2017, we recognized a $19.4 million charge primarily related to fully impairing costs previously capitalized in connection with the development of business operating software.
The prior year’s effective tax rate was computed based on the reduced blended U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 26.9% for the fiscal year ending July 31, 2018 and included the effects of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Act”).
See *Note* *10 — Income Taxes* for a detailed discussion of the Act.
The change in operating assets and liabilities was primarily the result of an increase in income taxes payable of $13.8 million offset by a decrease in funds used to pay accounts payable of $42.2 million, decrease in funds received on accounts receivable of $20.5 million and an increase in vehicle pooling costs deferred of $13.1 million, primarily from the adoption of ASC 606, as we began deferring the inbound transportation costs and titling fees directly associated with the vehicles during fiscal 2019.
Included in capital expenditures were capitalized software development costs for new software for internal use and major software enhancements to existing software.
Additionally, during fiscal 2017, we recognized a $19.4 million charge primarily related to fully impairing costs previously capitalized in connection with the development of business operating software.

To achieve this objective in the current uncertain global financial markets, all cash and cash equivalents were held in bank deposits and money market funds as of July 31, [removed: 2019.][added: 2020.]
As of July 31, [removed: 2019,] [added: 2020,] we held no direct investments in auction rate securities, collateralized debt obligations, structured investment vehicles or mortgaged-backed securities.
Based on the average cash balance held for fiscal [removed: 2019,] [added: 2020,] a hypothetical 10% adverse change in our interest yield would not have materially affected our operating results.
Our total borrowings under the Revolving Loan Facility under the Credit Agreement were zero as of July 31, [removed: 2019.][added: 2020.]
The Revolving Loan Facility under the Credit Agreement bears interest, at our election, at either (a) the Base Rate, which is defined as a fluctuating rate per annum equal to the greatest of (i) the Prime Rate in effect on such day; (ii) the Federal Funds Rate in effect on such date plus 0.50%; or (iii) the [removed: LIBOR rate] [added: Eurodollar Rate] plus 1.0%, [added: subject to an interest rate floor of 0.75%,] in each case plus an applicable margin ranging from [removed: 0.0%] [added: 0.50%] to [removed: 0.75%] [added: 1.25%] based on our consolidated total net leverage ratio during the preceding fiscal quarter; or (b) the [removed: LIBOR rate] [added: Eurodollar Rate] plus an applicable margin ranging from [removed: 1.00%] [added: 1.50%] to [removed: 1.75%] [added: 2.25%] depending on our consolidated total net leverage ratio during the preceding fiscal quarter.
Interest is due and [removed: payable quarterly,] [added: payable,] in arrears, [added: at the end of each calendar quarter] for loans bearing interest at the Base Rate, and at the end of an interest period (or at each three month interval in the case of loans with interest periods greater than three months) in the case of [removed: loans bearing interest at the adjusted LIBOR rate.][added: Eurodollar Rate Loans.]
These operations also incur a majority of their expenses in the local currency, the [removed: Canadian dollar,] British pound, [added: Canadian dollar,] Brazilian real, European Union euro, U.A.E. dirham, Omani rial, and Bahraini dinar.
A hypothetical 10% adverse change in the value of the U.S. dollar relative to the [removed: Canadian dollar,] British pound, [added: Canadian dollar,] Brazilian real, European Union euro, U.A.E. dirham, Omani rial, and Bahraini dinar would have resulted in a decrease in operating income of [removed: $7.9] [added: $7.0] million for fiscal [removed: 2019.][added: 2020.]
At July 31, [removed: 2019,] [added: 2020,] the cumulative effect of foreign exchange rate fluctuations on our consolidated financial position was a net translation loss of [removed: $132.5] [added: $121.1] million.
A hypothetical 10% adverse change in the value of the U.S. dollar relative to the [removed: Canadian dollar,] British pound, [added: Canadian dollar,] Brazilian real, European Union euro, U.A.E. dirham, Omani rial, [removed: Bahraini dinar,] and [removed: Indian rupee] [added: Bahraini dinar] would not have materially affected our consolidated financial position.
On January 29, 2020, the European Parliament approved the U.K.’s withdrawal from the European Union, commonly referred to as “Brexit.” The U.K. officially left the European Union on January 31, 2020 and entered into a transition period that is scheduled to expire on December 31, 2020 during which the U.K.’s trading relationship with the European Union is expected to remain largely the same while the two parties negotiate a trade agreement as well as other aspects of the U.K.’s relationship with the European Union.
On June 23, 2016, the U.K. held a referendum in which voters approved an exit from the European Union, commonly referred to as “Brexit.” In February 2017, the British Parliament voted in favor of allowing the British government to begin negotiating the terms of the U.K.’s withdrawal from the European Union and discussions with the European Union began in March 2017.

[removed: Many] [added: For example, many] of the cars we process and remarket are subsequently restored to drivable condition, reducing the new vehicle manufacturing burden the world would otherwise face.
Many of our cars are purchased by dismantlers, who recycle and refurbish parts for vehicle repairs, again [removed: reducing new and aftermarket parts manufacturing.]
And finally, some of our vehicles are returned to their raw material inputs through scrapping, reducing the need for further [removed: de novo] [added: new] resource extraction.
In each [removed: case,] [added: of these cases,] our business [removed: has reduced] [added: reduces] the carbon and other environmental footprint of the global transportation industry.
[removed: In addition,] [added: Secondly,] because of the special role we play in responding to catastrophic weather events, we believe we contribute to disaster recovery and resilience in the communities we serve.

In the U.S., Canada, Brazil, the Republic of Ireland, Finland, the U.A.E., Oman, [removed: Bahrain,] and [removed: Spain,] [added: Bahrain,] we sell vehicles primarily as an agent and derive revenue primarily from auction and auction related sales transaction fees charged for vehicle remarketing services as well as fees for services subsequent to the auction, such as delivery and storage.
In the [removed: U.K. and] [added: U.K.,] Germany, [added: and Spain,] we operate both as an agent and on a principal basis, in some cases purchasing salvage vehicles outright and reselling the vehicles for our own account.
Through our Virtual Bidding Third Generation (VB3) auction [removed: platform] [added: platform,] our sales process is open to registered buyers (whom we refer to as “members”) anywhere in the world with access to the internet.
For fiscal [removed: 2019,] [added: 2020,] sales of U.S. vehicles, on a unit basis, to members registered outside the state where the vehicle was located accounted for [removed: 55.2%] [added: 60.5%] of total vehicles sold; of which [removed: 32.0%] [added: 24.8%] of vehicles were sold to out of state members within the U.S. and [removed: 23.2%] [added: 35.7%] were sold to International members, based on the [added: IP] address [removed: submitted] [added: utilized] during [removed: registration.][added: the auction process.]

For fiscal [removed: 2019,] [added: 2020,] our revenues were [removed: $2.0] [added: $2.2] billion and our operating income was [removed: $716.5] [added: $816.1] million.
In fiscal 2018, we opened three new operational facilities in the U.S., a new operational facility in the U.K., a new operational facility in Germany, and acquired [added: four] locations in [removed: the municipalities of Espoo; Pirkkala; Oulu; and Turku,] Finland.
Operating costs consist primarily of operating personnel (which includes yard management, [removed: clerical] [added: clerical,] and yard [removed: employees), rent, contract] [added: employees); rent;] vehicle [removed: transportation, insurance, fuel,] [added: transportation; insurance; property related taxes; fuel;] equipment maintenance and [removed: repair,] [added: repair; marketing costs directly related to the auction process;] and costs of vehicles sold under the purchase contracts.

The vehicles are usually purchased at a price based on the vehicles’ estimated pre-accident [removed: cash] value [added: (“PAV”)] and the extent of damage.
Vehicle remarketers typically operate from multiple facilities where vehicles are processed, viewed, stored and [removed: delivered] [added: released] to the buyer.
While [removed: most] companies in this industry remarket vehicles through a physical auction or a hybrid internet and physical auction, we sell virtually all our vehicles on our internet selling platform VB3, thus eliminating the requirement for buyers to travel to an auction location to participate in the sales process.
Although there are other sellers of vehicles, such as banks, finance companies, charities, fleet operators, dealers and [removed: vehicles sourced directly] from [removed: individual owners,] [added: individuals,] our primary sellers of vehicles are insurance companies.
The primary buyers of vehicles at our auctions are vehicle dismantlers, rebuilders, repair licensees, used vehicle dealers, exporters, and in some [removed: states,] [added: jurisdictions,] the general public.
Vehicle rebuilders and vehicle repair licensees generally purchase [added: salvage vehicles to repair and resell.]
The vehicle is inspected by the insurance company’s adjuster, who estimates the costs of repairing the vehicle and gathers information regarding the damaged vehicle’s mileage, options and condition in order to estimate its [removed: pre-accident value (PAV),] [added: PAV,] otherwise known as actual cash value [removed: (ACV).][added: (“ACV”).]

We actively seek to establish [removed: national] [added: global, national,] and regional supply agreements with insurance companies by promoting our ability to achieve high net returns and broader access to buyers through our national coverage and electronic commerce capabilities.
This includes, for our sellers, real-time access to sales data over the internet, [removed: national coverage,] the ability to respond on a national scale and, for our members, the implementation of VB3 real-time bidding at substantially all of our facilities, permitting members at any location worldwide to participate in the sales at our yards.
We are not responsible for the carbon emissions resulting from new vehicle manufacturing, governmental fuel emissions standards or vehicle use by consumers.
Each vehicle that enters our business operations is an existing fact, with whatever fuel technology and efficiency it was designed and built to have, and the substantial carbon emissions associated with the vehicle’s manufacture are already sunk costs.
However, upon our receipt of an existing vehicle, we help decrease its total environmental impact by extending its useful life and thereby avoiding the carbon emissions associated with the alternative of new vehicle and auto parts manufacturing.

Copart 360
We pioneered posting vehicle images online for buyers in 2001, and, we have been improving the technology to provide top quality photos since then.
In July 2020, we enhanced online images and videos by launching Copart 360 (“C360”), our proprietary technology that captures clear 360-degree views of interiors and exteriors of cars, trucks, and vans across U.S. Copart locations.
Interested buyers can view everything from the backseat to the dashboard to the tires.
Buyers can also zoom in and out or expand to full screen on computers or mobile devices.
Buyers can access this feature by clicking the 360° icon under vehicle images on select lot details pages on Copart.com.

We always strive to maintain the highest safety guidelines to protect the health and well-being of our members and employees.
As soon as COVID-19 began impacting businesses globally, we rolled out the Virtual Queue at all locations to reinforce safety measures.
The Virtual Queue, available in multiple languages, is a safe way to secure a place in line while visiting one of our locations.
Whether a visitor is at a location to make a payment or preview a vehicle, the Virtual Queue lets them conveniently maintain social distancing practices.
Rather than wait in line inside a location, our visitors can save their place and receive an estimated wait time, using our mobile app, in the comfort of their own vehicle.
We notify them via text message when it is their turn to speak to a customer service agent.

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures
9 rewritten, 3 added, 4 removed, 42 unchanged
This evaluation, or Controls Evaluation, was performed under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our Chief Executive Officer [removed: (CEO)] [added: (“CEO”)] and our Chief Financial Officer [removed: (CFO).][added: (“CFO”).]
Based upon the Controls Evaluation, our CEO and CFO have concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K, our Disclosure Controls were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is accumulated and communicated to management, including the CEO and CFO, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure, and that such information is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the [removed: Securities and Exchange Commission.][added: SEC.]
Management assessed our internal control over financial reporting for the fiscal year ended July 31, [removed: 2019.][added: 2020.]
[removed: Further, based] [added: Based] on our assessment, management has concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of the end of the fiscal year to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of consolidated financial statements for external reporting purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
Our independent registered public accounting firm, Ernst & Young LLP, independently assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of July 31, [removed: 2019.][added: 2020.]
We have audited the internal control over financial reporting of Copart, Inc. (the Company) as of July 31, [removed: 2019,] [added: 2020,] based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework) (the COSO criteria).
In our opinion, Copart, Inc. maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of July 31, [removed: 2019,] [added: 2020,] based on the COSO criteria.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the [removed: 2019] [added: 2020] consolidated financial statements of the Company, and our report dated September [removed: 30, 2019] [added: 28, 2020] expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.
[removed: Except for the remediated material weakness discussed above, there] [added: There] have not been any changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.
We have investments in unconsolidated affiliates.
Since we do not control or manage those affiliates, our controls and procedures with respect to those affiliates are substantially more limited than those we maintain with respect to our consolidated subsidiaries.
September 28, 2020
This assessment is supported by testing and monitoring performed by our Finance department.
During our most recent fiscal quarter, management identified and remediated a material weakness related to ineffective information technology general controls (ITGCs) in the area of change-management over certain information technology (IT) systems that support our financial reporting processes.
The material weakness did not result in any identified misstatements to the financial statements, and there were no changes to previously released financial results.
