About
Copart, Inc. is a Dallas, Texas-based online vehicle auction marketplace — publicly traded on NASDAQ (NASDAQ: CPRT) as an S&P 500 Industrials component — operating the world's largest online salvage vehicle auction platform with 250+ locations in 11 countries, processing and selling total-loss and salvage vehicles on behalf of insurance companies, banks, charities, auto dealers, and fleet operators to licensed dismantlers, dealers, rebuilders, and exporters globally through approximately 11,000 employees. In fiscal year 2025 (ending July 2025), Copart reported record revenue of $4.6 billion (+9.7% year-over-year), net income of $1.6 billion (+13.9%), and diluted EPS of $1.59 (+13.6%), with a record total loss frequency of 22.2% — meaning insurance companies declared 22.2% of all accident-damaged vehicles as total losses rather than repairing them. The company processed and sold over 4 million vehicles globally through its online auction platform in FY2025. Founded in 1982 in Vallejo, California by Willis Johnson, Copart pioneered the transition of salvage vehicle auctions from physical auction lanes to online-only bidding, creating a global bidding pool that maximizes each vehicle's realized auction price by matching it with the highest-value buyer worldwide rather than only local buyers attending a physical auction. CEO Jeffrey Liaw and Chairman A. Jayson Adair lead the company.
