Volume leverage targets lower unit costs

For delivery-enabled marketplace models, the quote underscores operating leverage as a route to better unit economics: reduce costs directly while spreading them across higher volumes. Copart’s expectation is explicitly tied to bringing more units through its network.

Yeah. I mean, we're on it. That's really all I can tell you. We're aware of it, we've identified it, and we are on it. We are going to be focusing on reducing cost and getting that cost down. In just focusing on the cost, that's going to be one piece of it. The other side is as we bring more units through, we're going to leverage those costs through more units. So the per car, I fully anticipate per-car cost to go down.
