Vehicle Auction Global Location Count measures the scale of Copart's physical network supporting vehicle intake, storage, inspection, and auction processing.

Copart reported over 250 locations across its network.

Six new facilities were less than 2.4% of the disclosed location base

Copart reported Vehicle Auction New Facility Openings of 6 in fiscal 2025.

Using 250 as the disclosed lower-bound denominator, 6 divided by 250 is 2.4%. Because the actual location count was over 250, the six openings were less than 2.4% of that location count as a simple scale comparison.

That is not a net-location-growth rate because closures, acquisitions, timing, and denominator dates can differ.

The network spans 11 countries but is not evenly distributed

Vehicle Auction Country Footprint was 11 countries. More than 250 locations therefore implies more than 22.7 locations per country on a simple average, but the real footprint is concentrated unevenly.

Location count is not processing capacity

Facilities vary in acreage, storage capacity, catastrophe readiness, inspection capability, labor, and throughput.

A larger network can support growth and service density without every new site contributing equal volume or revenue.
