Overview

We are a leading global provider of online auctions and vehicle remarketing services with operations in the United States (“U.S.”), the United Kingdom (“U.K.”), Germany, Brazil, Canada, the United Arab Emirates (“U.A.E.”), Spain, Finland, Oman, the Republic of Ireland, and Bahrain.

Our goals are to generate sustainable profits for our stockholders, while also providing environmental and social benefits for the world around us. With respect to our environmental stewardship, we believe our business is a critical enabler for the global re-use and recycling of vehicles, parts, and raw materials. 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 already exists, with whatever fuel technology and efficiency it was designed and built to have, and the substantial carbon emissions associated with the vehicle’s manufacture have already occurred. However, upon our receipt of an existing vehicle, we help facilitate the decrease of 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. 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 reducing new and aftermarket parts manufacturing. Finally, some of our vehicles are returned to their raw material inputs through scrapping, thereby reducing the need for further new resource extraction. In each of these cases, our business facilitates the reduction of the carbon and other environmental footprint of the global transportation industry.

Beyond our environmental stewardship, we also support the world’s communities in two important ways. First, we believe that we contribute to economic development and well-being by enabling more affordable access to mobility around the world. For example, many of the automobiles sold through our auction platform are purchased for use in developing countries where affordable transportation is a critical enabler of education, health care, and well-being. Secondly, we believe we play an important role in the communities we serve through our response to and management of catastrophic weather events. This includes our investments in equipment and infrastructure which support our overall disaster recovery efforts. For example, we mobilized our people, and engaged with a multitude of service providers to timely retrieve, store, and remarket tens of thousands of flood-damaged vehicles in South Florida in the wake of Hurricanes Helene and Milton in the fall of 2024.

We provide vehicle sellers with a full range of services to process and sell vehicles primarily over the internet through our Virtual Bidding Third Generation internet auction-style sales technology, which we refer to as VB3. Vehicle sellers consist primarily of insurance companies, but also include dealers, individuals, charities, rental car companies, banks, finance companies, and fleet operators. We obtained 79%, 81%, and 81% of the total number of vehicles processed during fiscal 2026, 2025, and 2024, respectively, from insurance company sellers. We sell the vehicles principally to licensed vehicle dismantlers, rebuilders, repair licensees, used vehicle dealers, exporters, and to the general public. The majority of the vehicles sold on behalf of insurance companies are either damaged vehicles deemed a total loss; not economically repairable by the insurance companies; or are recovered stolen vehicles for which an insurance settlement with the vehicle owner has already been made. We offer vehicle sellers a full range of services that help expedite each stage of the vehicle sales process, minimize administrative and processing costs, and maximize the ultimate sales price through the online auction process.

Table of Contents

In the U.S., Canada, Brazil, the Republic of Ireland, Finland, the U.A.E., Oman, and 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 U.K., Germany, 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. In the U.K., we recognize revenue on a principal basis from selling dismantled parts through Green Parts Specialist (“GPS”). In Germany we also derive revenue from listing vehicles on behalf of insurance companies and insurance experts to determine the vehicle’s residual value and/or to facilitate a sale for the insured.

Through our VB3 auction platform, our sales process is open to registered buyers (whom we refer to as “members”) anywhere in the world with access to the internet. This technology and model employ a two-step bidding process. The first step is an open preliminary bidding feature that allows members to enter bids over the internet during the preview period. To improve the effectiveness of bidding, the VB3 system lets members see the current high bids on the vehicles they want to purchase. The preliminary bidding step is an open bid format similar to eBay®. Members enter the maximum price they are willing to pay for a vehicle and VB3’s BID4U feature incrementally bids on the vehicle on their behalf during all phases of the auction. Preliminary bidding ends at a specified time prior to the start of a second bidding step, an internet-only virtual auction. This second step allows bidders the opportunity to bid against each other and the high preliminary bidder. The bidders enter bids via the internet in real time while BID4U submits bids for the high preliminary bidder up to their maximum bid. When bidding stops, a countdown is initiated. If no bids are received during the countdown, the vehicle sells to the highest bidder.

We believe our virtual auction platform increases the pool of available buyers for each sale, which brings added competition and an increase in the amount that buyers are willing to pay for vehicles. We also believe that it improves the efficiency of our operations by eliminating the expense and capital requirements which would be associated with holding live auctions.

For fiscal 2026, sales of U.S. vehicles, on a unit basis, to International members was 38.2% which represents 45.8% of overall gross transaction per vehicle.

We believe that we offer the highest level of service in the auction and vehicle remarketing industry and have established our leading market position by:

providing a virtual platform that facilitates seller access to buyers around the world, reducing towing and third-party storage expenses, offering a local presence for vehicle inspection stations, and providing prompt response to catastrophes and natural disasters by specially trained teams;

providing a comprehensive range of services that includes merchandising, efficient title processing, timely pick-up and delivery of vehicles, and internet sales;

establishing and efficiently integrating new facilities and acquisitions;

increasing the number of bidders that can participate at each sale through the ease and convenience of internet bidding; and

applying technology to enhance operating efficiency through internet bidding, web-based order processing, salvage value quotes, electronic communication with members and sellers, and vehicle imaging.

Historically, we believe our business has grown as a result of (i) acquisitions, (ii) increases in overall volume in the salvage car market, (iii) growth in market share, (iv) increases in the amount of revenue generated per sales transaction resulting from increases in the gross selling price and the addition of value-added services for both members and sellers, and (v) growth in non-insurance company sellers. For fiscal 2026, our revenues were $4.7 billion, and our operating income was $1.7 billion.

In fiscal 2024, we opened three new operational facilities in the U.K., two new operational facility in Spain, one new operational facility in Canada, and four new operational facilities in the U.S.

In fiscal 2025, we opened one new operational facility in the U.K., two new operational facilities in Spain, and three new operational facilities in the U.S.

In fiscal 2026, we opened two new operational facilities in Brazil, and seven new operational facilities in the U.S.

Table of Contents

Our service revenues consist of auction and auction-related sales transaction fees charged for vehicle remarketing services. These auction and auction-related services may include a combination of the following: vehicle purchasing fees: vehicle listing fees; vehicle selling fees that can be based on a predetermined percentage of the vehicle sales price, tiered vehicle sales price fees, or at a fixed fee based on the sale of each vehicle regardless of the selling price of the vehicle; transportation fees for the cost of transporting the vehicle to our facility; title processing and preparation fees; vehicle storage fees; bidding fees; and vehicle loading fees. These fees are recognized as net revenue (not gross vehicle selling price) at the time of auction in the amount of such fees charged. Purchased vehicle revenue includes the gross sales price of the vehicles which we have purchased or are otherwise considered to own. We have certain contracts with insurance companies, primarily in the U.K., in which we act as a principal, purchasing vehicles and reselling them for our own account. We also purchase vehicles in the open market, primarily from individuals, and resell them for our own account.

Operating costs consist primarily of: (i) labor (operating personnel at facilities); (ii) transportation (miles traveled and fuel rates); (iii) facilities (maintenance, property-related taxes, rent, and insurance); (iv) other (marketing and auction-related costs); and (v) costs of vehicles sold. General and administrative expenses consist primarily of executive management, accounting, data processing, sales personnel, professional services, marketing expenses, and technology enhancements and maintenance.

Ind****ustry Overview

The auction and vehicle remarketing services industry provides a venue for sellers to dispose of or liquidate vehicles to a broad domestic and international buyer pool. Sellers generally auction or sell their vehicles on a consignment basis either for a fixed fee or a percentage of the sales price. Occasionally, companies in our industry purchase vehicles from the largest segment of sellers, insurance companies, and resell the vehicles for their own account. The vehicles are usually purchased at a price based on the vehicles’ estimated pre-accident value (“PAV”) and the extent of damage. Vehicle remarketers typically operate from multiple facilities where vehicles are processed, viewed, stored and released to the buyer. While 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 virtual marketplace 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 dealers, individuals, charities, rental car companies, banks, finance companies, and fleet operators, 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 the general public. Vehicle dismantlers, which we believe are the largest group of vehicle buyers, based on volume of vehicles purchased, either dismantle a salvage vehicle and sell parts individually or sell the entire vehicle to rebuilders, used vehicle dealers, or the general public. Vehicle rebuilders and vehicle repair licensees generally purchase salvage vehicles to repair and resell. Used vehicle dealers generally purchase recovered stolen or slightly damaged vehicles for resale.

Most of our vehicles are sold on behalf of insurance companies and are usually vehicles involved in an accident or a natural disaster. Typically, the damaged vehicle is towed to a storage facility or a vehicle repair facility for temporary storage pending insurance company examination. 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 PAV. The adjuster determines whether to pay for repairs or to classify the vehicle as a total loss based upon the adjuster’s estimate of repair costs, vehicle’s salvage value, and the PAV, as well as customer service considerations. If the cost of repair is greater than the PAV less the estimated salvage value, the insurance company generally will classify the vehicle as a total loss. The insurance company will thereafter assign the vehicle to a vehicle auction and remarketing services company, settle with the insured and receive title to the vehicle.

Automobile manufacturers continuously incorporate new standard features, including: unibody construction utilizing exotic metals; passenger safety cages with surrounding crumple zones to absorb impacts; plastic and ceramic components; airbags; adaptive headlights; computer and navigation systems; advanced cameras, including backup camera systems; collision warning systems; dynamic cruise control; lane departure warning systems; automatic braking; blind spot detection systems; and electrification of drivetrains. We believe that one effect of these additional features is that newer vehicles involved in accidents are more costly to repair and, accordingly, more likely to be deemed a total loss for insurance purposes.

We believe the primary factors that insurance companies consider when selecting an auction and vehicle remarketing services company include:

the anticipated percentage return on salvage (i.e., gross salvage proceeds, minus vehicle handling and selling expenses, divided by the PAV);

Table of Contents

the services provided by the company and the degree to which such services reduce their administrative costs and expenses;

the price the company charges for its services;

the ability to respond to natural disasters;

geographic coverage;

the ability to provide analytical data to the seller; and

in the U.K., in certain situations, the actual amount paid for the vehicle.

In the U.K., some insurance companies tender periodic contracts for the purchase of salvaged vehicles. Under these circumstances, insurance companies will generally award the contract to the company that is willing to pay the highest price for the vehicles.

Generally, upon receipt of the pickup order or the assignment, we arrange for the transportation of a vehicle to our nearest facility. As a service to the vehicle seller, we will customarily pay advance charges (reimbursable charges paid on behalf of vehicle sellers) to obtain the vehicle’s release from a towing company, vehicle repair facility, or impound facility. Advance charges paid on behalf of the vehicle seller are either recovered upon sale of the vehicle, invoiced separately to the seller, or deducted from the net proceeds due to the seller.

The salvage vehicle is stored at one of our facilities until ownership documents are transferred from the insured vehicle owner and the title to the vehicle is cleared through the appropriate state’s motor vehicle regulatory agency (“DMV”). In the U.S., total loss vehicles may be sold in most states only after obtaining a salvage title from the DMV. Upon receipt of the appropriate documentation from the DMV, which is generally received within 45 to 60 days of vehicle pick-up, the vehicle is sold either on behalf of the insurance company or for our own account, depending on the terms of the contract. In the U.K., upon release of interest by the vehicle owner, the insurance company notifies us that the vehicle is available for sale.

Generally, sellers of non-salvage vehicles will arrange to deliver the vehicle to one of our locations, although we may offer transportation services to obtain the vehicle. At that time, the vehicle information will be uploaded to our system and made available for buyers to review online. The vehicle is then sold at auction on VB3 typically within seven days. Proceeds are then collected from the member, typically seller fees are subtracted, and the remainder is remitted to the seller.

Ope****rating and Growth Strategy

Our growth strategy is to increase revenues and profitability by, among other things, (i) expanding our insurance vehicle remarketing business internationally; (ii) increasing our whole-car vehicle volumes and related services; (iii) developing and providing technology-enabled services to our vehicle sellers, buyers, and other customers. We intend to pursue these strategies through both organic growth, primarily within our core insurance business, and inorganically through the development or acquisition of complementary businesses and facilities. To implement these strategies, we intend to continue to do the following:

Expand Our International Insurance Business

Our strategy is to grow our insurance vehicle remarketing business internationally by leveraging our existing operating capabilities, technology platforms, global buyer network, and relationships with insurance companies. We may pursue this growth through the development or acquisition of facilities, entry into new markets, expansion of existing operations, and the establishment of additional relationships with global, national, and regional insurance companies.

Table of Contents

Increase Whole-Car Volumes and Services in the United States

Our strategy is to grow our whole-car business by expanding relationships with vehicle sellers and developing services that support the remarketing of vehicles through wholesale channels. We seek to use our national operating footprint, marketplace technology, transportation capabilities, global buyer network, and vehicle-processing expertise to provide sellers with efficient and transparent disposition alternatives. To accomplish this strategy, it may include expanding services available to dealers, manufacturers, financial institutions, rental and fleet companies, and other vehicle sellers, and using technology to improve vehicle information, bidding, transaction processing, transportation coordination, and post-sale services. We also expect to evaluate opportunities to leverage our existing facilities and infrastructure to support additional whole-car volumes and related services. For example, we entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with ACV Auctions Inc., a Delaware corporation (“ACV”), and Apple Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and our wholly owned subsidiary (“Merger Sub”) to acquire all of ACV’s outstanding shares of common stock for $10.50 per share, net to the seller in cash, without interest, subject to any required withholding of taxes, and we expect to complete such acquisition by the end of the calendar year .

Develop Technology Services for Our Customers

Our strategy is to grow our technology services that improve the vehicle remarketing process for sellers, buyers, and other customers. These may include tools that provide real-time access to inventory, vehicle condition and sales data; facilitate digital vehicle assignment and claims processing; support transportation and title-related workflows; integrate seller systems with our platforms; improve pricing and valuation information; and provide reporting and analytics to assist customers in managing their vehicle portfolios.

O****ur Competitive Advantages

We believe that the following attributes and the services that we offer position us to take advantage of many opportunities in the online vehicle auction and services industry:

Geographic Coverage and Ability to Respond on a Global Scale

Since our inception in 1982, we have expanded from a single facility in Vallejo, California to an integrated network of 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. In Germany, we also derive revenue from listing vehicles on behalf of insurance companies and insurance experts to determine the vehicle’s residual value and/or to facilitate a sale for the insured. We offer integrated services to our vehicle sellers, which allow us to respond to the needs of our sellers and members with maximum efficiency. Our coverage provides our sellers with key advantages, including:

attractiveness and efficiency to buyers, leading to enhanced selling prices for vehicles;

a reduction in administrative time and effort;

a reduction in overall vehicle transportation costs;

convenient local facilities;

improved access to buyers throughout the world;

a prompt response in the event of a natural disaster or other catastrophe; and

consistency in products and services.

Value-Added Services

We believe that we offer the most comprehensive range of services in our industry, including:

internet bidding, internet proxy bidding, and virtual sales powered by VB3, which enhance the competitive bidding process;

mobile applications, which allow members to search, bid, create watch lists, join auctions, and bid in numerous languages from anywhere;

interactive online counter-bidding, which allows sellers who have placed a minimum bid or a bid to be approved on a vehicle to directly counter-bid the current high bidder; and

Night Cap sales, which provides an additional opportunity for bidding on vehicles that have not previously achieved their minimum bid.

Proven Ability to Acquire and Integrate Acquisitions

We have a proven track record of successfully acquiring and integrating facilities and companies. Since becoming a public company in 1994, we have completed acquisitions of facilities in the U.S., Canada, the U.K., Brazil, the U.A.E., Germany, Finland, and Spain. As part of our acquisition and integration strategy, we seek to:

expand our global presence;

strengthen our networks and access new markets;

utilize our existing corporate and technology infrastructure over a larger base of operations; and

introduce our comprehensive services and operational expertise.

We strive to integrate all new facilities and companies, when appropriate, into our existing network without disruption of service to vehicle sellers. We typically retain existing employees at acquired facilities in order to retain knowledge about, and respond to, the local market.

Technology to Enhance and Expand Our Business

We have developed management information and proprietary software systems that allow us to deliver a fully integrated service offering. Our proprietary software programs provide vehicle sellers with online access to data and reports regarding their vehicles being processed at any of our facilities. This technology allows vehicle sellers to monitor each stage of our vehicle sales process, from pick up to sale and settlement by the buyer. Our full range of internet services allows us to expedite each stage of the vehicle sales process and helps to minimize the administrative and processing costs for us, as well as our sellers. We believe that our integrated technology systems generate improved capacity and financial returns for our clients, resulting in high client retention, and allow us to expand our national supply contracts.

Ou****r Business Segments

Our U.S. and International regions are considered two separate operating segments and are disclosed as two reportable segments. The segments represent geographic areas and reflect how the chief operating decision maker, or "CODM", the

Table of Contents

Company's Chief Executive Officer, allocates resources and measures results. The Company's CODM evaluates the performance of its reportable segments and allocates resources based on segment Operating Income. This measure is used to assess profitability, guide decisions regarding capital investment, and evaluate the performance of segment leadership. For the year ended July 31, 2026, we generated 81.6 % of our revenue in our U.S. segment and 18.4 % in our international segment. Geographic information as well as comparative segment revenues and related financial information pertaining to the U.S. and International segments for the years ended July 31, 2026, 2025 and 2024 are presented in the tables in NOTE 14 — Segments and Other Geographic Reporting, to the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, which are included elsewhere in this Form 10-K.

Ou****r Service Offerings

We offer vehicle sellers a full range of vehicle services, which expedite each stage of the vehicle sales process, helping to maximize proceeds and minimize costs. Not all service offerings are available in all markets. Additionally, in some cases a service offering may be applicable only to a particular subsidiary or operating segment. Our service offerings include the following:

Online Seller Access

Copart Access, our proprietary internet-based service for vehicle sellers, provides a comprehensive suite of tools designed to maximize efficiency and transparency throughout the sales process. This platform empowers sellers to seamlessly manage their inventory by assigning vehicles for sale, monitoring sales calendars, and accessing detailed vehicle information, including high-resolution images and historical data. Furthermore, Copart Access streamlines critical administrative functions such as viewing and reprinting body shop invoices and towing receipts, proactively managing the title procurement process, and optimizing total loss determination and management and the handling of unrelated/undisclosed damage. The platform also provides sellers with valuable insights into the historical performance of vehicles sold through our auctions, enabling data-driven decision-making and improved returns.

Salvage Estimation Services

We offer Co.ai, a proprietary suite of total loss determination and valuation tools that leverage machine learning and computer vision to assist sellers in the vehicle claims evaluation process by providing online salvage value estimates, which helps sellers determine whether to repair a vehicle or deem it a total loss.

IntelliSeller

We offer IntelliSeller, an automated tool leveraging our vast and detailed vehicle and sales data to assist our sellers in making vital auction decisions. Using machine learning, IntelliSeller optimizes the utilization of our vehicle and sales data to determine when to establish minimum bid values and suggest when to re-auction a unit to ensure optimal returns while minimizing cycle time.

Estimating Services

We offer vehicle sellers in the U.K. estimating services for vehicles taken to our facilities. Estimating services provide our insurance company sellers repair estimates, which allow the insurance company to determine if the vehicle is a total loss vehicle. If the vehicle is determined to be a total loss, it is generally assigned to us to sell.

End-of-Life Vehicle Processing

In the U.K., we are an authorized treatment facility for the disposal of end-of-life vehicles.

Transportation Services

In the U.S. segment, we perform transportation services through a combination of third-party vehicle transport companies and our fleet. We maintain contracts with third-party vehicle transport companies, which enable us to pick up most of our sellers’ vehicles within 24 hours. Our national network and transportation capabilities provide cost and time savings to our vehicle sellers and offer timely vehicle pick up and prompt response to catastrophes and natural disasters in the U.S. In the International segment, we perform transportation services through a combination of our fleet and third-party vehicle transport companies. Our international network and transportation capabilities provide cost and time savings to our vehicle sellers throughout the U.K., Europe, Canada, Brazil and Middle East market.

Table of Contents

Vehicle Inspection Stations

We offer some of our major insurance company sellers office and facility space to house vehicle inspection stations on-site at our facilities. We have over 100 vehicle inspection stations at our facilities. An on-site vehicle inspection station provides our insurance company sellers with a central location to inspect potential total loss vehicles, which reduces storage charges that otherwise may be incurred at the initial storage or repair facility.

On-Demand Reporting

We provide vehicle sellers with real time data for vehicles that we process for the seller. This includes vehicle sellers’ gross and net returns on each vehicle, service charges, and other data that enable our vehicle sellers to more easily administer and monitor the vehicle disposition process. In addition, we have developed a database containing over 300 fields of real-time and historical information accessible by our sellers allowing for their generation of custom ad hoc reports and customer specific analysis.

Title Processing

We have extensive expertise in DMV document and title processing. We have developed a computer system which provides a direct link to the DMV computer systems of multiple states, allowing us to expedite the processing of vehicle title paperwork.

Title Express

We also facilitate the title transfer from the original owner or financial institutions on behalf of some of our sellers to streamline the documentation and vehicle auction process.

Loan Payoff

We can obtain up-to-date loan payoff information electronically from hundreds of automotive lenders, including the remaining balance due and per diem on a vehicle loan, to expedite the loan payoff and title transfer process. We also coordinate loan payoff remittances on behalf of our sellers.

Flexible Vehicle Processing Programs

At the election of the seller, we sell vehicles pursuant to our Consignment Program, Percentage Incentive Program (“PIP”), or Purchase Program. Under each program we may provide merchandising services such as covering or taping openings to protect vehicle interiors from weather, washing vehicle exteriors, vacuuming vehicle interiors, cleaning and polishing dashboards and tires, making keys for drivable vehicles, and identifying drivable vehicles. We believe our merchandising efforts increase the sales prices of the vehicles, thereby increasing the return on vehicles to both vehicle sellers and us.

Consignment Program. Under our Consignment Program, we sell vehicles for a fixed consignment fee. Although sometimes included in the consignment fee, we may also charge additional fees for the cost of transporting the vehicle to our nearest facility, storage of the vehicle, and other incidental costs.

Percentage Incentive Program. Under PIP, we agree to sell all of the vehicles of a seller in a specified market, usually for a predetermined percentage of the vehicle sales price. Because our revenues under PIP are directly linked to the vehicle’s sale price, we have an incentive to actively merchandise those vehicles to maximize the net return. We provide the vehicle seller, at our expense, with transportation of the vehicle to our nearest facility.

Purchase Program. Under the Purchase Program, we purchase vehicles from a vehicle seller at a formula price, based on a percentage of the vehicles’ estimated PAV, and sell the vehicles for our own account. Currently, the purchase program is offered primarily in the U.K.

Buy It Now, Make An Offer

We offer an option to our members to purchase specific pre-qualified vehicles immediately at a set price before the live auction process. This enables us to provide a fast, easy, transparent and comprehensive buying option on these pre-qualified vehicles. Additionally, members have the option of submitting an offer amount on certain selected vehicles. If an offer is accepted, the member can purchase the vehicle before the live auction process.

Sales Process

We offer a flexible and unique sales process designed to maximize the sale prices of the vehicles utilizing VB3. VB3 opens our sales process to members and the general public to view auctions via our website and our mobile application anywhere in the world where internet access is available. The VB3 technology and model employs a two-step bidding process. The first step is an open preliminary bidding feature that allows a member to enter bids over the internet during the preview days. To improve the effectiveness of bidding, the VB3 system lets a member see the current high bid on the vehicle they want to purchase. The preliminary bidding step is an open bid format similar to eBay®. Members enter the maximum price they are willing to pay for a vehicle and VB3’s BID4U feature will incrementally bid the vehicle on their behalf during all steps of the auction. Preliminary bidding ends at a specified time prior to the start of a second bidding step, an internet-only virtual auction. This second step allows bidders the opportunity to bid against each other and the highest preliminary bidder. The bidders enter bids via the internet in real time, and then BID4U submits bids for the highest preliminary bidder, up to their maximum bid. When bidding stops, a countdown is initiated. If no bids are received during the countdown or any extensions, the vehicle sells to the highest bidder.

BluCar

We provide financial institutions, fleet and rental car companies with an efficient method to sell their vehicles. We have a dedicated team of employees that support the processing of BluCar vehicles which includes market specific services such as asset recovery, comprehensive condition reports and arbitration.

Copart Dealer Services

We provide franchise and independent dealers with a convenient method to sell their trade-ins through any of our facilities. We have a dedicated team of employees in the U.S. that target these dealers and work with them throughout the sales process.

Cash For Cars

We provide the general public with a fast and convenient method to sell their vehicles. Anyone can go to CashForCars.com; CashForCars.ca; CashForCars.de, CashForCars.co.uk, or Cash-for-cars.ie and arrange to obtain a valid offer to purchase their vehicle. Upon acceptance of our offer to purchase their vehicle, we provide them payment for their vehicle and then sell the vehicle on our own behalf.

National Powersport Auctions

In the U.S., we provide wholesale powersport vehicle remarketing services through live and online auction platforms to dealers, financial institutions and Original Equipment Manufacturers through our subsidiary National Powersport Auctions (“NPA”). Powersports include for example motorcycles, recreational vehicles, boats and RVs. NPA also offers comprehensive data services including the NPA Value GuideTM, which we believe is the industry’s most accurate wholesale valuation tool. NPA corporate offices are located in San Diego, California; and they operate from locations throughout the United States.

Purple Wave Inc.

In the U.S., through our majority ownership of Purple Wave Inc. (“Purple Wave”) we provide wholesale construction, agriculture, and fleet remarketing services through no-reserve online auctions at www.purplewave.com, selling such items directly from the sellers location. Purple Wave Inc. offers a range of services including appraisals, listings, marketing, and post auction shipping. The Purple Wave corporate office is located in Manhattan, Kansas.

Copart Recycling

In the U.K., we have two facilities for U-Pull It from which the public can purchase parts from salvaged and end-of-life vehicles. In general, the buyer is responsible for detaching the parts from the vehicle and any associated hauling or transportation of the parts after detachment. After the valuable parts have been removed by the buyer, the remaining parts and car body are sold for their scrap value. We also operate GPS which dismantles vehicles and sells used parts.

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. This capability was expanded to the U.K. in fiscal 2021. Interested buyers can view everything from the

Sal****es

We process vehicles from hundreds of different vehicle sellers. No single customer accounted for more than 10% of our consolidated revenues for fiscal 2026, 2025, or 2024 and our business does not depend on any particular customer to remain profitable. We obtained 79%, 81%, and 81% of the total number of vehicles processed during fiscal 2026, 2025, or 2024, respectively, from insurance company sellers.

We typically contract with the national, regional or branch office of an insurance company, fleet, financial institutions, and rental car companies and other vehicle sellers. The agreements are customized to each vehicle seller’s needs and often provide for the disposition of different types of vehicles by differing methods. Our arrangements generally provide that we will sell vehicles generated by the vehicle seller in a designated geographic area.

We market our services to vehicle sellers through an in-house sales force that utilizes a variety of sales techniques, including personal sales calls, internet search engines, employee referrals, tow shop referrals, and participation in trade shows and vehicle and insurance industry conventions, targeted mailing of our sales literature, and telemarketing. We market our services to franchise and independent dealerships, as well as the general public. We may, when appropriate, provide vehicle sellers with detailed analysis of the net return on vehicles and a proposal setting forth ways in which we believe that we can improve net returns on vehicles and reduce administrative costs and expenses.

During our last three fiscal years, most of our revenue was generated within the U.S. and a majority of our long-lived assets are located within the U.S. Please see NOTE 14 — Segments and Other Geographic Reporting in our Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for information regarding the geographic location of our sales and our long-lived assets.

Table of Contents

Me****mbers

We maintain a database of approximately 1 million registered members (“buyers”) in the vehicle dismantling and recycling, rebuilding, used vehicle dealer and export industries, as well as members that are a part of the general public, where applicable. We believe that we have established a broad international and domestic buyer base by providing members with a variety of programs and services. To become a registered member, a person or business must complete a basic application either online or through our mobile application. Before any member may purchase a vehicle, they must provide copies of current government issued photo identification. Additionally, business members must provide current business information, including copies of licenses, which may include vehicle dismantler, dealer, resale, repair or export licenses, and as needed, completed sales tax exemption certificates. Registration entitles a member to transact business at any of our auctions, subject to local licensing and permitting requirements. We may sell to the general public either directly or members may purchase a vehicle offered at Copart through a registered broker who meets local licensing and permitting requirements. Strict admission procedures are intended to prevent frivolous bids that will not result in a completed sale. We market to members online and via email notifications, sales notices, telemarketing, direct mail, in-location marketing, search engines, social media, radio, television, trade publications, and participation in trade show events.

Co****mpetition

We face significant competition from other remarketers of both salvage and non-salvage vehicles. Against these other vehicle remarketers, we face competition for long-term contractual commitments and various supply agreements with sellers, in addition to competition for the acquisition of vehicle storage facilities. We believe our principal competitors include vehicle auction and sales companies and vehicle dismantlers. These national, regional, and local competitors may have established relationships with vehicle sellers and buyers and may have financial resources that are greater than ours. The largest national or regional vehicle auctioneers in the U.S. include RB Global (including its subsidiary Insurance Auto Auctions, Inc.), Carvana, Openlane, Manheim, Inc. and ACV Auctions Inc. The largest national dismantler in the U.S. is LKQ Corporation (“LKQ”). LKQ, in addition to trade groups of dismantlers such as the American Recycling Association, United Recyclers Group LLC and other regional and local dismantlers, may purchase salvage vehicles directly from insurance companies, thereby bypassing vehicle remarketing companies like Copart entirely. In our International markets, our principal competitors are vehicle auction and sales companies, vehicle dismantlers, and privately-held independent remarketers.

Mana****gement Information Systems

Our primary management information system runs on a platform called G2, an integrated mesh of proprietary, distributed systems that is based on services architecture and open standards. A portion of the functionality still resides in the legacy system called CAS.

Employees from various facilities, support centers and offices around the world access the G2 platform to perform various activities like taking pictures, receiving of inventory vehicles, processing titles, accepting payments, etc. Members access the G2 Platform to search for, view, bid and pay for the vehicles. Sellers integrate their systems with Copart’s G2 Platform via B2B Application Programming Interface “APIs”. They also access G2 to assign vehicles, monitor the progression of a vehicle through the lot processing lifecycle, approve charges or bids and make and receive payments.

We have invested in multiple co-located data centers around the world and multiple cloud platforms to create a hybrid infrastructure that provides redundancy and is designed to run continuously, even in the event of an emergency. All our facilities, offices and employees connect to our servers through the internet using publicly available multiple networks, designed to provide redundancy.

Emp****loyees and Human Capital

Our ability to build long-term value depends on our ability to attract, retain, develop, and motivate talented personnel at all levels within our global enterprise. Our employees are our greatest asset. Our goal is to create a strong culture built upon our foundational core values: act with integrity; be an owner; challenge the norm; get results; and celebrate our people. We have a diverse, multi-cultural workforce and we celebrate our diversity by promoting inclusion across our global organization.

As of July 31, 2026, we had approximately 11,900 full and part-time employees, of which approximately 62% were located in the U.S. and 38% were located within our International segment.

Table of Contents

Of the approximately 7,400 full and part-time employees based in the U.S, approximately 53% of them identify as male, 46% as female, and 1% are undisclosed. We also believe our U.S. workforce is ethnically diverse. As of July 31, 2026, our U.S. workforce consisted of approximately 46% individuals identifying as White, 6% as Hispanic or Latino, 14% as Black or African American, 6% as Asian, 3% as two or more races and 25% as other or as not disclosed.

Additionally, of the approximately 1,300 employees serving in the U.S. in management roles and above, up to and including executives, 62% identify as male and 38% identify as female.

Of the approximately 4,600 employees based within the International segment, approximately 63% of them identify as male and 37% as female. We also believe our International workforce is ethnically diverse. As of July 31, 2026, our International workforce consisted of approximately 43% individuals identifying as White, 41% as Asian, 2% as Black or African, 3% as Hispanic or Latino, 3% as two or more races, 8% as other or as not disclosed.

Additionally, of the approximately 400 employees serving Internationally in management roles and above, up to and including executives, 70% identify as male and 30% identify as female.

Our executive leadership team reflects our commitment to inclusion. As of July 31, 2026, among our three named executive officers (NEOs), our chief financial officer is a woman. Within our broader executive management team, comprised of 11 executives with “chief” designations, two c-level executives were women and four were ethnically diverse.

At Copart, our human resources function known as Human Resources, plays a vital role in creating a supportive and productive work environment for all employees. Our Human Resources department is dedicated to fostering a culture of growth, collaboration, and employee well-being with a “people first” mindset. We understand that our people are our most valuable asset, and our Human Resources team is committed to providing comprehensive support across various aspects of the employee employment.

We identify and attract top talent that aligns with our values and objectives. We carefully manage the recruitment process, from drafting job descriptions and posting vacancies to conducting interviews and making hiring decisions. We leverage online search tools, recruiting firms, employee referral programs and university recruiting. We offer a combination of competitive salaries, equity incentives, and bonus plans.

Through a blend of in-person sessions and virtual learning opportunities, the Training Department supports and promotes a culture of excellence, innovation, and career progression across the organization.

Our executive compensation structure aligns incentives with our company’s strategic growth objectives, including long-term share price appreciation. In that regard, our executive compensation programs place greater weighting on equity compensation than other forms of compensation offered to all employees. For more details regarding our executive compensation, refer to information incorporated by reference from the information set forth under the captions “Executive Compensation” and “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” in our proxy statement.

Once a new team member joins us, our Human Resources department works to provide for a seamless onboarding process, helping them integrate into our culture and hit the ground running.

The Human Resources team oversees performance management processes that help employees understand their goals and expectations. We facilitate regular performance discussions, feedback sessions, and goal setting to ensure alignment with our corporate objectives, driving a clear path to advancement.

We prioritize the well-being and satisfaction of our employees. We organize various engagement initiatives, including team-building events, wellness programs, and recognition efforts to celebrate achievements and milestones. We are dedicated to maintaining a positive and inclusive work environment where every employee feels valued and supported.

We provide comprehensive, benefits and compensation packages, ensuring that they remain competitive within the industry. We address inquiries about benefits, such as healthcare, retirement plans, and other rewards, to guarantee that our employees have access to the resources they need for a fulfilling work-life balance. Copart pays a sizable portion of the benefit premiums related to healthcare. Copart’s benefit plans are designed around health, financial security, life and education. These include a variety of medical plans, dental and vision coverage, and wellness programs in addition to external support networks.

Enviro****nmental Matters

Our operations are subject to international, federal, provincial, state and local laws and regulations regarding the protection of the environment in the countries in which we have storage facilities. In some cases, we may acquire land with existing environmental issues, including landfills as an example. 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. In the U.K., we provide vehicle de-pollution and crushing services for end-of-life vehicles. We could incur substantial expenditures for preventative, investigative, or remedial action and could be exposed to liability arising from our operations, contamination by previous users of certain of our acquired facilities or facilities which we may acquire in the future, or the disposal of our waste at off-site locations. In addition to conducting environmental diligence on new site acquisitions, we also take such appropriate actions as may be necessary to avoid liability for activities of prior owners, and we have from time to time acquired insurance with respect to acquired facilities with known environmental risks. There can be no assurances, however, that these efforts to mitigate environmental risk will prove sufficient if we were to face material liabilities. We have incurred expenses for environmental remediation in the past, and environmental laws and regulations could become more stringent over time. There can be no assurance that we or our operations will not be subject to significant costs in the future or that environmental enforcement agencies at the state and federal level will not pursue enforcement actions against us. In addition to acquiring insurance in connection with certain acquisitions, we have also obtained indemnification for pre-existing environmental liabilities from many of the persons and entities from whom we have acquired facilities, but there can be no assurance that such indemnifications will be available or sufficient. In addition, increased focus by the U.S. and other governmental authorities on climate change and other environmental matters may lead to enhanced regulation in these areas, which could also result in increased compliance costs and subject us to additional potential liabilities. The extent of these costs and risks is difficult to predict and will depend in large part on the extent of new regulations and the ways in which those regulations are enforced. Any such expenditures or liabilities could have a material adverse effect on our consolidated results of operations, financial position, or cash flows.

Go****vernmental Regulations

Our operations are subject to regulation, supervision and licensing under various international, federal, provincial, state, and local statutes, ordinances and regulations that may impact our capital expenditures, earnings, and competitive position. The acquisition and sale of vehicles is regulated by various state, provincial and foreign motor vehicle departments, and the steps required to process vehicle titles is a significant cost of our business. Our know-how in the area of title processing is a competitive advantage. In addition to the regulation of sales and acquisitions of vehicles, we are also subject to various local zoning requirements with regard to the location of our storage facilities, which generally make it more challenging and expensive to identify, acquire and develop new facilities. These zoning requirements vary from location to location. At various times, we may be involved in disputes with governmental officials regarding the development and/or operation of our business facilities. We may be subject to similar types of regulations by international, federal, provincial, state, and local governmental agencies in new markets.

Intel****lectual Property and Proprietary Rights

In 2008, we obtained a patent issued by the United States Patent and Trademark Office that covers certain aspects of our virtual bidding auction platform, VB3. Generally, patents issued in the U.S. are effective for 20 years from the earliest asserted filing date of the patent application. The duration of foreign patents varies in accordance with the provisions of applicable local law.

We also rely on a combination of trade secret, copyright, and trademark laws, as well as contractual agreements to safeguard our proprietary rights in technology and products. In seeking to limit access to sensitive information to the greatest practical extent, we routinely enter into confidentiality and assignment of invention agreements with certain of our employees and consultants and nondisclosure agreements with our key customers and vendors.

Sea****sonality

Historically, our consolidated results of operations have been subject to quarterly variations based on a variety of factors, of which the primary influence is the seasonal change in weather patterns. During the winter months, we tend to have higher demand for our services because there are more weather-related accidents. Severe weather events, including but not limited to tornadoes, floods, hurricanes, and hailstorms, can also impact our volumes.

Investing in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. You should consider carefully the risks and uncertainties described below before making an investment decision. Our business could be harmed if any of these risks, as well as other risks not currently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial, materialize. The trading price of our common stock could decline due to the occurrence of any of these risks, and you may lose all or part of your investment. In assessing the risks described below, you should also refer to the other information contained in this Form 10-K, including our consolidated financial statements and the related notes and schedules, and other filings with the SEC.

Risks Related to Our Business and Industry

We depend on a limited number of major vehicle sellers for a substantial portion of our revenues. The loss of one or more of these major sellers could adversely affect our consolidated results of operations and financial position, and an inability to increase our sources of vehicle supply could adversely affect our growth rates.

Although no single customer accounted for more than 10% of our consolidated revenues for fiscal 2026, 2025, or 2024, a limited number of vehicle sellers historically have collectively accounted for a substantial portion of our revenues. Certain of our arrangements with vehicle sellers are non-exclusive and may be terminated or modified by the seller on limited notice or without cause, in each case subject to the terms of the applicable agreement. Vehicle sellers have terminated agreements with us in the past in particular markets, which has affected revenues in those markets. There can be no assurance that our existing agreements will not be canceled. Furthermore, there can be no assurance that we will be able to enter into future agreements with vehicle sellers or that we will be able to retain our existing supply of salvage vehicles. A reduction in vehicles from a significant vehicle seller or any material changes in the terms of an arrangement with a significant vehicle seller could have a material adverse effect on our consolidated results of operations and financial position. In addition, a failure to increase our sources of vehicle supply could adversely affect our earnings and revenue growth rates.

Our expansion into markets outside the U.S., including expansions in the U.K., Canada, Europe, Brazil, and the Middle East expose us to risks arising from operating in international markets. Any failure to successfully integrate businesses acquired or operational capabilities established outside the U.S. could have an adverse effect on our consolidated results of operations, financial position, or cash flows.

We first expanded our operations outside the U.S. in fiscal 2003 with an acquisition in Canada. Subsequently, in fiscal 2007 and fiscal 2008 we made significant 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, an acquisition in Finland in fiscal 2018, and an acquisition of a parts recycler in the U.K. in fiscal 2022. 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. In particular, we may not be successful in realizing anticipated synergies from these acquisitions, or we may experience unanticipated costs or expenses integrating the acquired operations into our existing business. We have and may continue to incur substantial expenses establishing new facilities and operations, acquiring buyers and sellers, and implementing shared services capabilities in international markets. Among other things, we plan to ultimately deploy our proprietary auction technologies at all of our foreign operations, and we cannot predict whether this deployment will be successful or will result in increases in the revenues or operating efficiencies of any acquired companies relative to their historic operating performance. Integration of our respective operations, including information technology and financial and administrative functions, may not proceed as anticipated and could result in unanticipated costs or expenses such as capital expenditures that could have an adverse effect on our future operating results. We cannot provide any assurance that we will achieve our business and financial objectives in connection with these acquisitions or our strategic decision to expand our operations internationally.

As we continue to expand our business internationally, we will need to develop policies and procedures to manage our business on a global scale. Operationally, acquired businesses typically depend on key seller relationships, and our failure to maintain those relationships would have an adverse effect on our consolidated results of operations and could have an adverse effect on our future operating results. Moreover, success in opening and operating facilities in new markets can be dependent upon establishing new relationships with buyers and sellers, and our failure to establish those relationships could have an adverse effect on our consolidated results of operations and future operating results.

In addition, we anticipate our international operations will continue to subject us to a variety of risks associated with operating on an international basis, including:

the difficulty of managing and staffing foreign offices;

the increased travel, infrastructure, and legal compliance costs associated with multiple international locations;

Table of Contents

the need to localize our mix of product and service offerings in response to customer requirements, particularly the need to implement our online auction platform in foreign countries;

the need to comply with complex foreign and U.S. laws and regulations that apply to our international operations, including changes in laws that may have an adverse effect on our ability to operate our preferred business model in foreign jurisdictions;

tariffs, trade barriers, trade disputes, and other regulatory or contractual limitations on our ability to operate in certain foreign markets;

exposure to foreign currency exchange rate risk, which may have an adverse impact on our revenues and revenue growth rates;

adapting to different business 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;

repatriation of funds currently held in foreign jurisdictions to the U.S., which may result in higher effective tax rates;

military conflicts, including those in Eastern Europe and the Middle East;

public health issues, such as epidemics, pandemics, and other public health emergencies;

environmental issues;

natural and man-made disasters; and

political issues.

As we continue to expand our business globally, our success will depend, in large part, on our ability to anticipate and effectively manage these and other risks associated with our international operations. Our failure to manage any of these risks successfully could harm our international operations and have an adverse effect on our operating results.

Our business is exposed to risks associated with online commerce security and credit card fraud.

Risk Management and Strategy

Table of Contents

We work proactively to identify, evaluate, and manage cybersecurity threats to our business. These threats include disruption and denial of critical systems and infrastructure, intellectual property theft, fraud, extortion, harm to customers and employees, legal and litigation risks, reputational risks, and the breach of confidential business data, which could include personally identifiable information. We employ both holistic and focused processes for identifying, assessing, managing, and disclosing material cybersecurity risks to our business. Our holistic review is part of our general risk management process, and involves our executive leadership team, team members from our finance, legal, tech, and operations teams, and external legal, financial, and risk advisors who are subject matter experts in identifying, assessing, mitigating and reporting material risks. Our focused review involves internal assessment by our cybersecurity team, as well as external review by a cybersecurity consulting services firm, to evaluate our cybersecurity program and our capacity to defend against and respond to potential cybersecurity threats.

Through strategic investments over several years, we have established and enhanced a comprehensive cybersecurity program consisting of security toolsets, people, policies, and contracted third-party service providers that provide technical, organizational, and administrative safeguards to protect against and timely respond to cybersecurity threats and incidents. Our cybersecurity strategy is based foremost on defense in depth, and secondarily on resilience. Defense in depth is a strategy of layered security, in which we employ a variety of overlapping controls, tools, and processes to defend against threat actors. Resilience is a strategy focused on business continuity and disaster recovery, with the goal of rapidly restoring, rebuilding, and recovering from any adverse cyber impacts to our business. These controls, tools and processes include technologies designed to detect and defend against unauthorized access to our systems and infrastructure, relevant corporate policies, periodic cybersecurity and privacy training programs, and incident response protocols for preventing, detecting, responding to and recovering from cybersecurity incidents. We use the National Institute for Standards in Technology security framework to evaluate our cybersecurity controls, which we work to continuously enhance.

We face a number of cybersecurity risks in connection with our business. Although such risks have not materially affected us, including our business strategy, results of operations or financial condition, we have experienced threats to our data and systems in the past, including malware and viruses. For a description of the risks we face from cybersecurity threats that may affect us and how, see our risk factors under Part 1. Item 1A in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, including under the heading “Disruptions to our information technology systems, including failure to prevent outages, maintain security, 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 operations, and financial condition.”

Governance

Our Board of Directors has delegated oversight of our cybersecurity program to our Audit Committee, and this oversight responsibility is reflected in our Audit Committee charter. Our Audit Committee receives quarterly updates from our chief information security officer on the status of these programs. Our Audit Committee also receives a detailed presentation from our chief information security officer on our cybersecurity program annually, which includes the results of an external third-party assessment. Our Audit Committee is comprised solely of independent directors, with one member who is a subject matter expert in technology and cybersecurity.

Our management team is responsible for assessing and managing our material risks from cybersecurity threats, and has appointed a chief information security officer to lead our global cybersecurity organization for this purpose. Our executive management team and key members of our broader finance, legal, tech and operations organizations receive detailed monthly briefings from our chief information security officer on the status of our cybersecurity program and our readiness to prevent, detect, mitigate and recover from cybersecurity incidents.

Our chief information security officer leads our incident response team for addressing and recovering from identified cybersecurity incidents. Our incident response team includes key members of our tech, legal and executive management teams to manage our response efforts, which includes timely compliance with applicable contractual and regulatory notification obligations.

The Company did not repurchase any common stock under the program for fiscal years 2025 and 2024. As of July 31, 2026, the total number of shares repurchased under the program was 502 million, and subject to applicable limitations under Delaware law, 282 million shares were available for repurchase under the program.

In fiscal year 2026, certain employees held stock option awards that could be exercised through a cashless exercise. For the years ended July 31, 2026, 2025 and 2024, no employee exercised stock options through a cashless exercise. If exercised a portion of the options exercised will be net settled in satisfaction of the exercise price and employees’ statutory withholding requirements. Any shares withheld for taxes are treated as a repurchase of shares for accounting purposes, but do not count against our stock repurchase program.

Dividend Policies

We have not paid a cash dividend since becoming a public company in 1994. We currently intend to retain any earnings for use in our business.

Issuances of Unregistered Securities

There were no issuances of unregistered securities in the year ended July 31, 2026.

The following is a discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations as of, and for, the periods presented and should be read in conjunction with our audited Consolidated Financial Statements and the related Notes thereto included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. This discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements, including statements regarding industry outlook, our expectations for the future of our business, and our liquidity and capital resources as well as other non-historical statements. These statements are based on current expectations and are subject to numerous risks and uncertainties, including but not limited to the risks and uncertainties described in “Risk Factors” and “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.” Our actual results may differ materially from those contained in or implied by these forward-looking statements.

All references to numbered Notes are to specific Notes to our Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K and which descriptions are incorporated by reference. Capitalized terms used, but not defined, in this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation (“MD&A”) have the same meanings as in such Notes.

Overview

We are a leading global provider of online auctions and vehicle remarketing services with operations in the United States (“U.S.”), the United Kingdom (“U.K.”), Germany, Canada, Brazil, Spain, the United Arab Emirates (“U.A.E.”), Finland, the Republic of Ireland, Oman, and Bahrain.

Our goals are to generate sustainable profits for our stockholders, while also providing environmental and social benefits for the world around us. With respect to our environmental stewardship, we believe our business is a critical enabler for the global re-use and recycling of vehicles, parts, and raw materials. 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 already exists, with whatever fuel technology and efficiency it was designed and built to have, and the substantial carbon emissions associated with the vehicle’s manufacture have already occurred. However, upon our receipt of an existing vehicle, we help facilitate the decrease of 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. 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 reducing new and aftermarket parts manufacturing. Finally, some of our vehicles are returned to their raw material inputs through scrapping, thereby reducing the need for further new resource extraction. In each of these cases, our business facilitates the reduction of the carbon and other environmental footprint of the global transportation industry.

Beyond our environmental stewardship, we also support the world’s communities in two important ways. First, we believe that we contribute to economic development and well-being by enabling more affordable access to mobility around the world. For example, many of the automobiles sold through our auction platform are purchased for use in developing countries where affordable transportation is a critical enabler of education, health care, and well-being. Secondly, we believe we play an important role in the communities we serve through our response to and management of catastrophic weather events. This includes our investments in equipment and infrastructure which support our overall disaster recovery efforts. For example, we mobilized our people, and engaged with a multitude of service providers to timely retrieve, store, and remarket tens of thousands of flood-damaged vehicles in South Florida in the wake of Hurricanes Helene and Milton in the fall of 2024.

We provide vehicle sellers with a full range of services to process and sell vehicles primarily over the internet through our Virtual Bidding Third Generation internet auction-style sales technology, which we refer to as VB3. Vehicle sellers consist primarily of insurance companies, but also include dealers, individuals, charities, rental car companies, banks, finance companies, and fleet operators. We obtained 79%, 81%, and 81% of the total number of vehicles processed during fiscal 2026, 2025, and 2024, respectively, from insurance company sellers. We sell the vehicles principally to licensed vehicle dismantlers, rebuilders, repair licensees, used vehicle dealers, exporters, and to the general public. The majority of the vehicles sold on behalf of insurance companies are either damaged vehicles deemed a total loss; not economically repairable by the insurance companies; or are recovered stolen vehicles for which an insurance settlement with the vehicle owner has already been made. We offer vehicle sellers a full range of services that help expedite each stage of the vehicle sales process, minimize administrative and processing costs, and maximize the ultimate sales price through the online auction process.

In the U.S., Canada, Brazil, the Republic of Ireland, Finland, the U.A.E., Oman, and 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 U.K., Germany, and Spain, we operate both as an agent and on a principal basis, in some cases purchasing salvage vehicles outright and reselling the

Table of Contents

vehicles for our own account. In the U.K., we recognize revenue on a principal basis from selling dismantled parts through GPS. In Germany and Spain, we also derive revenue from listing vehicles on behalf of insurance companies and insurance experts to determine the vehicle’s residual value and/or to facilitate a sale for the insured.

Key Financial Performance Measures

We monitor and analyze a number of key financial performance indicators in order to manage our business and evaluate our financial and operating performance. Such indicators include:

Service and Vehicle Sales Revenue: Our service revenues consist of auction and auction-related sales transaction fees charged for vehicle remarketing services. These auction and auction-related services may include a combination of the following: vehicle purchasing fees: vehicle listing fees; vehicle selling fees that can be based on a predetermined percentage of the vehicle sales price, tiered vehicle sales price fees, or at a fixed fee based on the sale of each vehicle regardless of the selling price of the vehicle; transportation fees for the cost of transporting the vehicle to or from our facility; title processing and preparation fees; vehicle storage fees; bidding fees; and vehicle loading fees. These fees are recognized as net revenue (not gross vehicle selling price) at the time of auction in the amount of such fees charged. Purchased vehicle revenue includes the gross sales price of the vehicles which we have purchased or are otherwise considered to own. We have certain contracts with insurance companies, primarily in the U.K., in which we act as a principal, purchasing vehicles and reselling them for our own account. We also purchase vehicles in the open market, primarily from individuals, and resell them for our own account.

Our revenue is impacted by several factors, including total loss frequency and the average vehicle auction selling price, as a significant amount of our service revenue is associated in some manner with the ultimate selling price of the vehicle. Vehicle auction selling prices are driven primarily by: (i) market demand for rebuildable, drivable vehicles; (ii) used car pricing, which we also believe has an impact on total loss frequency; (iii) end market demand for recycled and refurbished parts as reflected in demand from dismantlers; (iv) the mix of cars sold; (v) changes in the U.S. dollar exchange rate to foreign currencies, which we believe has an impact on auction participation by international 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 revenues, or financial results. Total loss frequency is the percentage of cars involved in accidents that insurance companies salvage rather than repair and is driven by the relationship between repair costs, used car values, and auction returns. Over the past 30 years, we believe there has been an increase in overall growth in the salvage market driven by an increase in total loss frequency. This increase in total loss frequency may have been driven by changes in used car values and repair costs over the same long-term horizon, which we believe are generally trending upward. We believe the long-term trend of increases in total loss frequency will continue. In the near term changes in used car prices and repair cost are inversely related, but may impact total loss frequency and thereby affect our growth rate. Used car values are determined by many factors, including used car supply, which is tied directly to new car sales, and the average age of cars on the road. The average age of cars on the road has continued to increase, growing from 11.4 years in 2013 to 13.0 years in 2026. Repair costs are generally based on damage severity, vehicle complexity, repair parts availability, repair parts costs, labor costs, and repair shop lead times. The factors that can influence repair costs, used car pricing, and auction returns are many and varied, and we cannot predict their movements with precision.

Operating Costs and Expenses: Facility operations expenses consist primarily of: (i) labor (operating personnel at facilities); (ii) transportation (miles traveled and fuel rates); (iii) facilities (maintenance, property-related taxes, rent, and insurance); (iv) other (marketing and auction-related costs); and (v) costs of vehicles sold. General and administrative expenses consist primarily of executive management, accounting, data processing, sales personnel, professional services, marketing expenses, and technology enhancements and maintenance.

Other Income and Expense: Other income consists primarily of interest income on U.S. Treasury Bills, foreign exchange rate gains and losses; gains and losses from the disposal of assets, which will fluctuate based on the nature of these activities each period; fees and interest expense on the credit facility; and earnings from unconsolidated affiliates.

Liquidity and Cash Flows: Our primary source of working capital is cash flow from operations. The primary source of our liquidity is our cash and cash equivalents and our revolving credit commitments under our Senior Revolving Credit Agreement (the "2026 Credit Agreement"). The primary factors affecting cash flows from operations are: (i) seasonality; (ii) market wins and losses; (iii) supplier mix; (iv) accident frequency; (v) total loss frequency; (vi) 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

Table of Contents

applicable; (xii) our capital expenditures; and (xiii) other macroeconomic factors. These factors are further discussed in the “Results of Operations” and “Risk Factors” sections of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

We also generate additional working capital and liquidity from the sale of assets and the issuance of shares through option exercises and shares issued under our Employee Stock Purchase Plan. In addition, we believe we have access to additional liquidity from the sale of equity or debt securities, if needed.

Acquisitions and New Operations

As part of our overall expansion strategy of offering integrated services to vehicle sellers, we anticipate acquiring and developing facilities in new regions, as well as the regions currently served by our facilities. We believe that these acquisitions and openings will strengthen our coverage, as we have facilities located in the United States (“U.S.”), the United Kingdom (“U.K.”), Germany, Brazil, Canada, the United Arab Emirates (“U.A.E.”), Spain, Finland, Oman, the Republic of Ireland, and Bahrain with the intention of providing global coverage for our sellers.

The following tables set forth operational facilities that we have opened and are now operational from August 1, 2023 through July 31, 2026:

Table of Contents

The period-to-period comparability of our consolidated operating results and financial position is affected by business acquisitions, new openings, weather, and product introductions during such periods.

In addition to growth through business acquisitions, we seek to increase revenues and profitability by, among other things, (i) acquiring and developing additional vehicle storage facilities in key markets, including foreign markets; (ii) pursuing global, national, and regional vehicle seller agreements; (iii) increasing our service offerings; and (iv) expanding the application of VB3 into new markets. In addition, we implement our pricing structure and auction procedures, and attempt to introduce cost efficiencies at each of our acquired facilities by implementing our operational procedures, integrating our management information systems, and redeploying personnel, when necessary.

Recent Developments

On September 10, 2026, the Company entered into a definitive merger agreement to acquire ACV for $10.50 per share, net to the seller in cash, without interest, subject to any required withholding of taxes, representing an implied equity value of approximately $1.9 billion. The transaction is expected to close by the end of calendar year 2026. The consummation of such transaction is subject to the tender of a majority of the outstanding shares of ACV common stock, the expiration or termination of the waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, and other customary conditions.

Results of Operations

The following table shows certain data from our consolidated statements of income expressed as a percentage of total service revenues and vehicle sales for fiscal 2026, 2025, and 2024:

Comparison of Fiscal Years ended July 31, 2026, 2025 and 2024

The following table presents a comparison of service revenues for fiscal 2026, 2025, and 2024:

Service Revenues. The increase in service revenues for fiscal 2026 of $0.9 million, or 0.0 % as compared to fiscal 2025 came from (i) a decrease in the U.S. of $(63.3) million, and (ii) an increase in International of $64.1 million. The decrease in service revenue in the U.S. was primarily related to the one-time revenue associated with hurricanes Helene and Milton recognized in fiscal year 2025 and a decrease in volume offset by an increase in revenue per car. The growth in International, after excluding positive fluctuations in currency exchange rates of $21.9 million, was driven primarily by an increase in revenue per car and increase in volume.

Table of Contents

The following table presents a comparison of vehicle sales for fiscal 2026, 2025, and 2024:

Vehicle Sales. The increase in vehicle sales for fiscal 2026 of $18.4 million, or 2.7% as compared to fiscal 2025 came from (i) an increase in the U.S. of $15.6 million and (ii) an increase in International of $2.8 million. The increase in the U.S. was primarily driven by an increase in revenue per car, which was due to a change in mix of vehicles sold, which was offset by a decrease in volume. The increase in International, after excluding positive fluctuations in currency exchange rates of $12.1 million was primarily driven by an increase in revenue per car, which was due to a change in mix of vehicles sold, which was offset by a decrease in volume related to sellers switching to a consignment model.

The following table presents a comparison of facility operations expense for fiscal 2026, 2025, and 2024:

Facility Operations Expenses. The increase in facility operations expenses for fiscal 2026 of $21.6 million, or 1.1% as compared to fiscal 2025 resulted from (i) a decrease in the U.S. of $(11.8) million, and (ii) an increase in International of $33.3 million. The decrease in the U.S. compared to the same period last year was related to one-time costs associated with hurricanes Helene and Milton recognized in fiscal year 2025 offset by increases in subhaul, freight and postage. The increase in International, after excluding negative fluctuations in currency exchange rates of $(12.5) million, was the result of an increase in the cost to process a car. Included in facility operations expenses were depreciation and amortization expenses. The increase in facility operations depreciation and amortization expenses as compared to the same period last year resulted primarily from depreciating new and expanded facilities placed into service in the U.S. and International.

The following table presents a comparison of cost of vehicle sales for fiscal 2026, 2025, and 2024:

Cost of Vehicle Sales. The increase in cost of vehicle sales for fiscal 2026 of $13.5 million, or 2.2% as compared to fiscal 2025, was the result of (i) an increase in the U.S. of $12.9 million and (ii) an increase in International of $0.5 million. The increase in the U.S. was primarily the result of a change in the mix of vehicles sold, offset by a decrease in volume. The increase in International, after excluding the negative fluctuations of currency exchange rates of $(10.6) million, was primarily due to an increase in average purchase price due to change in the mix of vehicles sold offset by a decrease in volume related to sellers switching to a consignment model.

The following table presents a comparison of general and administrative expenses for fiscal 2026, 2025, and 2024:

Table of Contents

General and Administrative Expenses. The increase in general and administrative expenses for fiscal 2026 of $28.3 million, or 7.0% as compared to fiscal 2025 came primarily from (i) an increase in the U.S. of $13.0 million, and (ii) an increase in International of $15.3 million. Excluding depreciation and amortization, the increase in the U.S. of $9.5 million resulted primarily from an increase in labor (as a result of investment in the business and the expansion of our sales force), travel, insurance, and third party outside services offset by decreases in legal, compliance, and stock-based compensation. The increase in International of $15.2 million, after excluding the negative fluctuations in currency exchange rates of $(2.9) million, resulted primarily from an increase in labor, stock-based compensation, and third party outside services (including consulting and legal). The increase in depreciation and amortization expenses was the result of the addition of technology assets being placed in service in the U.S. and International.

The following table summarizes total other expenses and income taxes for fiscal 2026, 2025, and 2024:

Other Income (Expenses). The decrease in total other income for fiscal 2026 of $(16.5) million, or (8.3)% as compared to fiscal 2025 was primarily due to a decrease in gain on sale of fixed assets, and realized and unrealized foreign currency gains offset by increase in interest income earned from U.S. Treasury Bills.

Income Taxes. Our effective income tax rates were 19.3% and 18.3%, for fiscal 2026 and 2025, respectively. The current and prior year’s effective tax rate was computed based on the U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 21.0%. The effective tax rate for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2026 was favorably impacted by a $46.7 million tax benefit related to the Foreign Derived Intangible Income “FDII” deduction and $6.6 million in excess tax benefits from the exercise of employee stock options and negatively impacted by $21.5 million related to state income taxes. The effective tax rate for the fiscal year ending July 31, 2025 was favorably impacted by a $55.0 million tax benefit related to the FDII deduction and $36.7 million in excess tax benefits from the exercise of employee stock options and negatively impacted by $38.6 million related to state income taxes.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The following table presents a comparison of key components of our liquidity and capital resources for fiscal 2026, 2025, and 2024, excluding additional funds available to us under our 2026 Credit Agreement:

Cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash decreased $872.6 million and working capital decreased $206.9 million at July 31, 2026, as compared to July 31, 2025. Cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash decreased primarily as result of the repurchase of common stock as part of our stock repurchase program and investment in held to maturity securities offset by decrease in capital expenditures. Cash equivalents consisted of bank deposits, certificates of deposit, U.S. Treasury Bills, and funds invested in money market accounts, which bear interest at variable rates.

Historically, we have financed our growth through cash generated from operations, public offerings of common stock, equity issued in conjunction with certain acquisitions, and debt financing. Our primary source of cash generated by operations is from the collection of service fees and reimbursable advances from the proceeds of vehicle sales. We expect to continue to use cash flows from operations to finance our working capital needs and to develop and grow our business, including through the payment of the expected $1.9 billion aggregate cash purchase price for ACV under the Merger Agreement. In addition to our stock repurchase program, we are considering a variety of alternative potential uses for our remaining cash balances and our cash flows from operations. For further detail, see Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, NOTE 9 – Long-Term Debt and NOTE 12 — Stockholders’ Equity and under the subheading “Credit Agreement” below.

Our business is seasonal as inclement weather during the winter months increases the frequency of accidents and consequently, the number of cars involved in accidents which the insurance companies salvage rather than repair. During the winter months, most of our facilities process 5% to 20% more vehicles than at other times of the year. Severe weather events, including but not limited to tornadoes, floods, hurricanes, and hailstorms, can also impact our volumes. These increased volumes require the increased use of our cash to pay out advances and handling costs of the additional business.

We believe that our currently available cash and cash equivalents and cash generated from operations will be sufficient to satisfy our operating and working capital requirements in the foreseeable future. We expect to acquire or develop additional locations and expand some of our current facilities in the foreseeable future. We may raise additional cash through drawdowns on our 2026 Credit Agreement or issuance of additional equity to fund this expansion. Although the timing and magnitude of growth through expansion and acquisitions are not predictable, the opening of new greenfield facilities is contingent upon our ability to locate property that (i) is in an area in which we have a need for more capacity; (ii) has adequate size given the capacity needs; (iii) has the appropriate shape and topography for our operations; (iv) is reasonably close to a major road or highway; and (v) most importantly, has the appropriate zoning for our business.

As of July 31, 2026, $598.3 million of the $1.9 billion of cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash was held by our foreign subsidiaries. If these funds are needed for our operations in the U.S., the repatriation of these funds could still be subject to the foreign withholding tax following the U.S. Tax Reform. However, our intent is to permanently reinvest these funds outside of the U.S. and our current plans do not require repatriation to fund our U.S. operations.

Net cash provided by operating activities decreased for fiscal 2026 as compared to fiscal 2025 due to reduction in net income primarily from an increase in facility operations and general and administrative expenses, and changes in operating assets and liabilities. The change in operating assets and liabilities was primarily the result of an increase in accounts receivable of $46.8 million, income tax receivable of $48.7 million, vehicle pooling costs of $23.1 million, and inventory of $16.1 million, partially offset by an decrease in accounts payable of $37.1 million.

Table of Contents

Net cash used in investing activities increased for fiscal 2026 as compared to fiscal 2025 due primarily to an increase in investments in held to maturity securities, offset by a decrease in capital expenditures. Our capital expenditures are primarily related to acquiring land, opening and improving facilities, capitalized software development costs for new software for internal use and major software enhancements, acquiring facility equipment, and lease buyouts of certain facilities. We continue to develop, expand, and invest in new and existing facilities and standardize the appearance of existing locations. As of July 31, 2026, we had no material non-cancelable commitments for future capital expenditures.

Net cash used in financing activities increased in fiscal 2026 as compared to fiscal 2025 due primarily to repurchases of common stock as part of our stock repurchase program.

For a discussion of fiscal 2025 as compared to fiscal 2024, please refer to Part II, Item 7, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2025, filed with the SEC on September 26, 2025.

Credit Agreement

On January 23, 2026, we entered into the 2026 Credit Agreement by and among Copart, certain subsidiaries of Copart party thereto, the lenders party thereto, and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as administrative agent. The 2026 Credit Agreement provides for an unsecured revolving credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of up to $1,250 million, including subfacilities for standby letters of credit and swingline loans. The 2026 Credit Agreement matures on January 23, 2031. The 2026 Credit Agreement replaced the previous secured credit facility under the credit agreement dated December 21, 2021 by and among Copart, certain subsidiaries of Copart party thereto, the lenders party thereto, and Bank of America, N.A., as the administrative agent (the “Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement”), which was scheduled to mature on December 21, 2026.

Borrowings under the 2026 Credit Agreement bear interest based on Copart’s option, either (1) the applicable fixed rate plus 0.75% to 1.125% or (2) the daily rate plus 0.0% to 0.125%, in each case, depending on Copart’s consolidated total net leverage ratio. Additionally, the unused revolving commitments under the 2026 Credit Agreement are subject to the payment of a customary commitment fee at a range of 0.05% to 0.125%, depending on Copart’s consolidated total net leverage ratio. As of July 31, 2026, the Company had outstanding letters of credit of $22.5 million and the unused capacity of $1,227.5 million was available to us.

The 2026 Credit Agreement contains representations and warranties, conditions, and covenants. As of July 31, 2026, we were in compliance with these financial covenants.

In connection with entering into the 2026 Credit Agreement, we incurred $1.5 million in costs, which were capitalized as debt issuance fees. The debt issuance cost is amortized to interest expense over the term of the debt instrument and is included in other assets on the consolidated balance sheet.

For further detail on the 2026 Credit Agreement, see Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, NOTE 9 – Long-Term Debt.

Stock Repurchases

On September 22, 2011, our Board of Directors approved a 320 million share increase in our stock repurchase program, bringing the total current authorization to 784 million shares. The repurchases may be effected through solicited or unsolicited transactions in the open market, including under plans complying with Rule 10b5-1, or in privately negotiated transactions. No time limit has been placed on the duration of the stock repurchase program. Subject to applicable securities laws, such repurchases will be made at such times and in such amounts as we deem appropriate and may be discontinued at any time. For fiscal year 2026, we repurchased 43,433,164 shares of our common stock under the program at a weighted average price of $37.63 per share totaling $1.6 billion. As of July 31, 2026, the total number of shares repurchased under the program was 502 million, and subject to applicable limitations under Delaware law, 282 million shares were available for repurchase under the program.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities,

Table of Contents

revenues, expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

We consider the following policies to be the most critical to understanding the judgments that are involved and the uncertainties that could impact our results of operations, financial condition, and cash flows. For additional information, see NOTE 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our Consolidated Financial Statements and related Notes.

Revenue Recognition

Our primary performance obligation is the auctioning of consigned vehicles through an online auction process. Service revenue and vehicle sales revenue are recognized at the date the vehicles are sold at auction, excluding annual registration fees. Costs to prepare the vehicles for auction, including inbound transportation costs and titling fees, are deferred and recognized at the time of revenue recognition at auction.

Our disaggregation between service revenues and vehicle sales at the segment level reflects how the nature, timing, amount, and uncertainty of our revenues and cash flows are impacted by economic factors. We report sales taxes on relevant transactions on a net basis in our consolidated results of operations, and therefore do not include sales taxes in revenues or costs.

Service revenues

Our service revenues consist of auction and auction-related sales transaction fees charged for vehicle remarketing services. Within this revenue category, our primary performance obligation is the auctioning of consigned vehicles through an online auction process. These auction and auction-related services may include a combination of vehicle purchasing fees, vehicle listing fees, and vehicle selling fees that can be based on a predetermined percentage of the vehicle sales price, tiered vehicle sales price driven fees, or at a fixed fee based on the sale of each vehicle regardless of the selling price of the vehicle; transportation fees for the cost of transporting the vehicle to our facility; title processing and preparation fees; vehicle storage fees; bidding fees; and vehicle loading fees. These services are not distinct within the context of the contract. Accordingly, revenue for these services is recognized when the single performance obligation is satisfied at the completion of the auction process. We do not take ownership of these consigned vehicles which are stored at our facilities located throughout the U.S. and international locations. These fees are recognized as net revenue (not gross vehicle selling price) at the time of auction in the amount of such fees charged.

We have a separate performance obligation related to providing access to our online auction platform. We charge members an annual registration fee for the right to participate in our online auctions and access our bidding platform. This fee is recognized ratably over the term of the arrangement, generally one year, as each day of access to the online auction platform represents the best depiction of the transfer of the service.

No provision for returns has been established, as all sales are final with no right of return or warranty, except for separately identified vehicles subject to an arbitration policy, although we provide for expected credit losses in the case of non-performance by our buyers or sellers.

Table of Contents

Vehicle sales

Certain vehicles are purchased and remarketed on our own behalf. We have a single performance obligation related to the sale of these vehicles, which is the completion of the online auction process. Vehicle sales revenue is recognized on the auction date. As we act as a principal in vehicle sales transactions, the gross sales price at auction is recorded as revenue.

Contract assets

We capitalize certain contract assets related to obtaining a contract, where the amortization period for the related asset is greater than one year. These assets are amortized over the expected life of the customer agreement. Contract assets are classified as current or long-term other assets, based on the timing of when we expect to recognize the related revenues and are amortized as an offset to the associated revenues on a straight-line basis. We assess these costs for impairment at least quarterly and as “triggering” events occur that indicate it is more likely than not that an impairment exists. The contract asset costs where the amortization period for the related asset is one year or less are expensed as incurred and recorded within general and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of income.

Income Taxes

In determining net income for financial statement purposes, we must make certain estimates and judgments in the calculation of tax provisions and the resultant tax liabilities.

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized based on differences between the financial reporting and income tax basis of assets and liabilities and are measured using the tax rates and laws enacted at the time of such determination. We regularly review our deferred tax assets for recoverability, and a valuation allowance is provided when it is more likely than not that some portion of a deferred tax asset will not be realized. In assessing the need for a valuation allowance, we make estimates and assumptions regarding projected future taxable income, the reversal of deferred tax liabilities and implementation of tax planning strategies. Changes in our assumptions could cause an increase or decrease to the valuation allowance resulting in an increase or decrease in our effective tax rate.

We recognize liabilities when we determine a tax position is not more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by the tax authorities. We use judgment in determining whether a tax position's technical merits are more likely than not to be sustained and in measuring the amount of tax benefit that qualifies for recognition. We recognize penalties and interest accrued related to income taxes as a component of the provision for income taxes. Although we believe the estimates are reasonable, no assurance can be given that the final outcome of these matters will not be different from what is reflected in the historical income tax provisions and accruals.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

For a description of the new accounting standards that affect us, refer to the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, NOTE 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.

Table of Contents

Our principal exposures to financial market risk are interest rate risk and foreign currency exchange rate and translation risk. We do not hold or issue financial instruments for trading purposes.

Interest Income Risk

The primary objective of our investment activities is to preserve principal while secondarily maximizing yields without significantly increasing risk. To achieve this objective in the current uncertain global financial markets, all cash and cash equivalents were held in bank deposits, U.S. Treasury Bills, and money market funds as of July 31, 2026. As the interest rates on a material portion of our cash and cash equivalents are variable, a change in interest rates earned on our investment portfolio would impact interest income along with cash flows, but would not materially impact the fair market value of the related underlying instruments. Based on the average cash balance held for fiscal 2026, a hypothetical 10% adverse change in our interest yield would not have materially affected our operating results.

Interest Expense Risk

The 2026 Credit Agreement bears interest, at our election, at either (1) the applicable fixed rate plus 0.75% to 1.125% or (2) the daily rate plus 0.0% to 0.125%, in each case, depending on the Company’s consolidated total net leverage ratio. Additionally, the unused revolving commitments under the 2026 Credit Agreement are subject to the payment of a customary commitment fee at a range of 0.05% to 0.125%, depending on the Company’s consolidated total net leverage ratio. If interest rates were to increase by 10% it would not materially affect our operating results.

Foreign Currency and Translation Exposure

Fluctuations in foreign currencies create volatility in our reported results of operations because we are required to consolidate the results of operations of our foreign currency denominated subsidiaries. International net revenues are typically denominated in the local currency of each country and result from transactions by our operations in Canada, the U.K., Brazil, the Republic of Ireland, Germany, Finland, the U.A.E., Oman, Bahrain, and Spain. These operations also incur a majority of their expenses in the following local currencies, the Pounds Sterling, Canadian dollar, Brazilian real, European Union euro, U.A.E. dirham, Omani rial, and Bahraini dinar. Our international operations are subject to risks associated with foreign exchange rate volatility, which could have a material and adverse impact on our future results of operations. A hypothetical 10% adverse change in the value of the U.S. dollar relative to Pounds Sterling, Canadian dollar, Brazilian real, European Union euro, U.A.E. dirham, Omani rial, and Bahraini dinar would not materially affect our operating results for fiscal 2026.

Fluctuations in foreign currencies also create volatility in our consolidated financial position because we are required to remeasure substantially all assets and liabilities held by our foreign subsidiaries at the current exchange rate at the close of the accounting period. At July 31, 2026, the cumulative effect of foreign exchange rate fluctuations on our consolidated financial position was a net translation loss of $109.8 million. This loss was recognized as an adjustment to stockholders’ equity through accumulated other comprehensive income. A hypothetical 10% adverse change in the value of the U.S. dollar relative to Pounds Sterling, Canadian dollar, Brazilian real, European Union euro, U.A.E. dirham, Omani rial, and Bahraini dinar. would not have materially affected our consolidated financial position. We do not hedge our exposure to translation risks arising from fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates.

None.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our “disclosure controls and procedures” (“Disclosure Controls”), as defined by Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act as of July 31, 2026, the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K. The Disclosure Controls evaluation was done under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our CEO and CFO. There are inherent limitations to the effectiveness of any system of disclosure controls and procedures. Accordingly, even effective disclosure controls and procedures can only provide reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives.

Based upon this evaluation, our CEO and CFO have concluded that, our Disclosure Controls were effective at the reasonable assurance level as of July 31, 2026.

Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of the consolidated financial statements for external reporting purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or that the degree of compliance with policies or procedures may deteriorate over time.

Management, including our CEO and CFO, assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of July 31, 2026. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in Internal Control—Integrated Framework (2013). Based on its assessment and those criteria, management has concluded that the Company maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of July 31, 2026. Ernst & Young LLP, the independent registered public accounting firm that audited our Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, has issued an attestation report on our internal control over financial reporting, which is included herein.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

In the ordinary course of business, we make changes to our systems and processes to improve controls and increase efficiency, while ensuring that we maintain an effective internal control environment. Changes may include such activities as implementing new, more efficient systems and automating manual processes. In the first quarter of fiscal 2025, we began implementing a new financial system, which will be completed in stages. The first stage of the system implementation included our member billing in the United States which is now complete. The second stage consists of seller billing in the United States and is in the development stage. This new financial system is a significant component of our internal control over financial reporting. We will continue to implement our new financial system, in stages, and each implementation will become a significant component of our internal control over financial reporting.

Except for the new financial system implementation noted above, there have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the most recent fiscal quarter that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Opinion on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

We have audited Copart, Inc.’s internal control over financial reporting as of July 31, 2026, 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. (the Company) maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of July 31, 2026, 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 2026 consolidated financial statements of the Company, and our report dated September 28, 2026, expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

Basis for Opinion

The Company's management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects.

Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Definition and Limitations of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
