America's Car-Mart logged higher-than-expected revenue in its latest quarter though the metric declined from the prior year.
The auto dealership operator swung to net income of $5.1 million, or 61 cents a share, for the second quarter ended Oct. 31, from a loss of $27.5 million, or $4.30 a share, a year earlier.
Stripping out one-time items, the company recorded a loss of 24 cents a share. Analysts polled by FactSet had expected a loss of 23 cents a share.
Revenue declined 3.5% to $347.3 million from $359.8 million. Analysts polled by FactSet had expected $338.3 million.
America's Car-Mart said the decline in revenue was primarily driven by a decrease in retail units sold, though that was partially offset by an increase in interest income and a $13.2 million benefit in service contract revenue.
"We improved deal structures, generated higher down payments, and benefited from higher collections and gross margins," said Chief Executive Doug Campbell.
