GREENVILLE, S.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 7, 2017-- Regional Management Corp. (NYSE:RM), a diversified consumer finance company, today announced results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2016.

Fourth Quarter 2016 Highlights

  • Net income for the fourth quarter of 2016 was $6.5 million, a decline of 12.2% from the prior-year period, while non-GAAP net income was $6.6 million, an increase of 4.8% from the prior-year period. Non-GAAP net income excludes $0.1 million of after-tax non-operating system implementation costs in the fourth quarters of 2016 and 2015, as well as $1.2 million in after-tax proceeds from the bulk sale of charged-off loans (“bulk sale”) in the fourth quarter of 2015. Diluted earnings per share for the fourth quarter of 2016 were $0.55, and on a non-GAAP basis, diluted earnings per share were $0.56.
  • Total finance receivables as of December 31, 2016 were $717.8 million, an increase of 14.2%, or $89.3 million, from the prior year and up 3.1%, or $21.6 million, sequentially:
    • Seventh consecutive quarter that total finance receivables have increased at least 10% over the prior-year period.
    • Large loan finance receivables of $235.3 million increased $88.8 million, or 60.6%, from the prior-year period and now represent nearly 33% of the total loan portfolio.
  • Total revenue for the fourth quarter of 2016 was $64.0 million, a $7.3 million, or 12.9%, increase from the prior-year period, and a $1.5 million, or 2.5%, increase sequentially.
    • Strong interest and fee income increase of 16.2% driven by 14.2% increase in receivables.
    • Overall yield declined 70 basis points on a year-over-year basis and 80 basis points sequentially. The yield declines are primarily due to higher insurance claims, partially from the impact of Hurricane Matthew.
  • Net credit losses for the fourth quarter of 2016 were $17.3 million, an increase of $5.5 million versus the prior-year period (an increase of $3.5 million excluding the bulk sale in the fourth quarter of 2015). Annualized net credit losses as a percentage of finance receivables were 9.8%, up 210 basis points compared to the prior-year period (up 80 basis points excluding the bulk sale).
  • Total delinquencies as a percentage of total finance receivables as of December 31, 2016 were 18.1%, a slight decline from 18.2% as of September 30, 2016 and an improvement from 20.3% as of December 31, 2015.
    • 30+ day contractual delinquencies were 7.4%, an increase sequentially from 7.1% as of September 30, 2016 – consistent with the seasonality of Regional Management’s business – and up from 7.2% as of December 31, 2015.

“We completed 2016 with another strong quarterly performance from our core small and large loan portfolios,” said Peter R. Knitzer, Chief Executive Officer of Regional Management Corp. “Total finance receivables increased 14% from the prior year, helping us to generate 16% year-over-year growth in our interest and fee income. We also were successful in the quarter keeping our overall operating expenses stable with the prior-year period.”

“The combination of strong growth, a corresponding build of allowance, and high late stage delinquencies at the end of the third quarter resulted in an increased provision in the fourth quarter versus the prior-year period,” added Mr. Knitzer. “While early stage delinquencies were stable at the end of the fourth quarter, our late stage delinquencies remained elevated, and as a result, we expect net credit losses in the first quarter of 2017 to be slightly higher sequentially compared to the fourth quarter of 2016. To address this, we are eliminating lending to specific segments that roll to losses at higher rates.”

“We continue to make progress in converting to our new operating platform,” continued Mr. Knitzer. “The NLS system is already providing richer, more actionable information on our customers, as well as improved workflows in our sales and servicing processes. After successfully completing three states, we assessed our plans and determined to build enhanced functionality into the system prior to converting additional states. As a result, we will spend the first quarter completing this build and plan to resume conversions in the second quarter. While this will cause us to move back our timeline to complete the conversion to the end of the year, we believe that it is important to build these better capabilities earlier on to improve the customer experience and contribute to our long-term success.”

“Finally, we continue to see the opportunity in the new year to further grow our receivables and bottom line through our current branch network, as we did in 2016. After successful testing in the fourth quarter, we are ready to roll out improved targeting and segmentation in our direct mail campaigns to drive traffic to our existing branches. We also expect to expand our branch network in 2017 in Virginia. We believe this hybrid approach of de novo expansion, coupled with a focus on growth within our existing footprint, will help to drive long-term value for the Company,” concluded Mr. Knitzer.

Fourth Quarter 2016 Results

Finance receivables outstanding at December 31, 2016 were $717.8 million, a 14.2% increase from $628.4 million in the prior year. Finance receivables increased primarily due to an increase in both the small and large loan portfolios resulting from Regional Management’s marketing efforts and the net addition of 8 branches since December 31, 2015. On a sequential basis, finance receivables increased by $21.6 million from the third quarter.

For the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2016, the Company reported total revenue of $64.0 million, a 12.9% increase from $56.7 million in the prior-year period. Interest and fee income for the fourth quarter of 2016 was $59.7 million, a 16.2% increase from $51.3 million in the prior-year period, primarily due to an increase in the portfolios of both small and large loans compared to the prior-year period. Insurance income, net for the fourth quarter of 2016 was $1.6 million, a decline of $1.3 million from the prior-year period due primarily to increased claims expense (non-filing claims, life claims, and property claims were all elevated in the quarter, with most property claims stemming from Hurricane Matthew). Other income for the fourth quarter of 2016 was $2.8 million, a 10.7% increase from the prior-year period and consistent with portfolio growth.

The provision for credit losses in the fourth quarter of 2016 was $19.4 million versus $11.4 million in the prior-year period. Excluding the gain on bulk sale, the provision for credit losses in the fourth quarter of 2015 was $13.4 million. The $6.0 million increase in the provision for credit losses, excluding the bulk sale, was due to an increase in net credit losses of $3.5 million and an increase in the estimated allowance for credit losses of $2.5 million.

Net credit losses were $17.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2016 versus $11.8 million in the prior-year period ($13.7 million excluding the bulk sale). Annualized net credit losses as a percentage of average finance receivables in the fourth quarter of 2016 were 9.8%, an increase from 7.7% in the prior-year period (9.0% excluding the bulk sale). In the fourth quarter of 2015, the Company released $0.3 million of allowance for credit losses compared to building allowance of $2.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2016.

General and administrative expenses for the fourth quarter of 2016 were $28.8 million, an increase of 1.0%, or $0.3 million, from the prior-year period. Home office expenses increased $0.9 million from the prior-year period, while operations expenses in the fourth quarter of 2016 improved $0.7 million from the prior-year period. Sequentially, general and administrative expenses declined $1.6 million, or 5.3%, from the third quarter of 2016. Loan system conversion costs in both the fourth quarters of 2016 and 2015 were $0.2 million.

GAAP net income for the fourth quarter of 2016 was $6.5 million, a decrease from $7.4 million in the prior-year period. Excluding the aforementioned non-operating expenses in the fourth quarters of 2016 and 2015, as well as the bulk sale in the fourth quarter of 2015, non-GAAP net income in the fourth quarter of 2016 would have been $6.6 million versus non-GAAP net income of $6.3 million in the prior-year period. GAAP diluted earnings per share for the fourth quarter of 2016 were $0.55, a slight reduction from $0.56 in the prior-year period. Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share for the fourth quarter of 2016 were $0.56, an increase from $0.48 in the prior-year period. For a reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to the comparable GAAP financial measure, please refer to the reconciliation tables accompanying this release.

Full Year 2016 Results

For the full year ended December 31, 2016, the Company reported total revenue of $240.5 million, a 10.7% increase from $217.3 million in the prior year. Interest and fee income for the full year ended December 31, 2016 was $221.0 million, a 12.9% increase from $195.8 million in the prior-year period, primarily due to a significant increase in the portfolios of both small and large loans compared to the prior year. Insurance income, net for the full year ended December 31, 2016 was $9.5 million, an 18.9% decrease from the prior year, primarily attributable to increased claims expense. Other income for the full year ended December 31, 2016 was $10.1 million, an increase of 2.4% from the prior year.

The provision for credit losses for the full year ended December 31, 2016 was $63.0 million versus $47.3 million in the prior year. Excluding the gain on bulk sale, the provision for credit losses for 2015 was $49.3 million. The $13.7 million increase in the provision for credit losses, excluding the bulk sale, was due to an increase in net credit losses of $6.8 million and an increase in the estimate allowance of $6.9 million, primarily due to portfolio growth.

Net credit losses for the full year ended December 31, 2016 were $59.2 million compared to $50.4 million in the prior year ($52.4 million excluding the bulk sale). Net credit losses as a percentage of average finance receivables for the full year ended December 31, 2016 was 9.0%, a slight increase from 8.8% in the prior year (and a slight decrease from 9.1% excluding the bulk sale).
