Frequently asked questions
What is Credit Acceptance Corporation's revenue?
Credit Acceptance Corporation's trailing twelve-month revenue is $1.28B. Revenue is the top line the whole model builds on, and at this scale the question shifts from how fast it grows to whether margins hold as it compounds.
How profitable is CACC?
In its most recent fiscal year, CACC ran a gross margin of 98.75%, an operating margin of 47.63%, and a net margin of 18.29%. Margins this high mean most of each extra dollar of revenue drops through to profit, which is the signature of real pricing power.
How much free cash flow does CACC generate?
CACC produced $1.05B in free cash flow in its most recent fiscal year. Free cash flow is what is left after running and reinvesting in the business, and it is the cash that actually funds buybacks, dividends, and a stronger balance sheet.
Is CACC's balance sheet healthy?
CACC holds $500.70M in cash and equivalents against $6.35B in long-term debt, on $1.52B of shareholder equity. That debt is best read against the cash flow the business throws off each year.
