"Our sales results improved sequentially but fell short of our internal expectations for the quarter...We are also thrilled about our most recent acquisition and welcome our new associates from Texas Auto Center to the Car-Mart family. This transaction closed June 3, 2024, and is the largest acquisition to date for our company. Despite these positives, the persistent inflationary environment driven by macro trends disproportionately impacted our customer base," said President and CEO Doug Campbell.
