Carsales.com firing on all cylinders as profit accelerates to $161m
Australia’s dominant online vehicle marketplace Carsales.com (ASX: CAR) is firing on all cylinders with buoyant conditions in its domestic and international operations leading to a 23 per cent increase in FY22 profit to $160.8 million.
The result has been bolstered by a bigger contribution from US vehicle marketplace Trader Interactive after Carsales.com earlier this year bought out the remaining 51 per cent it didn’t already own for about $1.17 billion. Trader Interactive is expected to deliver low double-digit earnings per share growth in the first full year of ownership, with higher upside in the following years.
Carsales.com posted a 19 per cent increase in revenue to $509.1 million in FY22, while underlying EBITA rose 12 per cent to $269.9 million.
