CRMT
In default with severe liquidity crisis
Snapshot
America's Car-Mart is a used-car retailer in acute financial distress. While the core business remains operationally profitable with $1.39B in FY 2024 revenue and a healthy 47.8% gross margin, the company is drowning in debt. It carries $845.1M in total debt against only $9.8M in cash, a ratio that has triggered a formal default under its credit agreement.
What's Happening Right Now
- : The company extended its lender forbearance agreement through June 19, 2026, acknowledging it is in actual or anticipated default under its credit agreement.
- : A special board committee is evaluating strategic alternatives, including potential financing, recapitalization, and mergers, with financial advisors Houlihan Lokey and FTI Consulting assisting.
- : The company filed a prospectus to register the resale of nearly 1 million shares underlying warrants, which may create downward pressure on the stock price.
