  • Total finance receivables as of September 30, 2017 were $774.9 million, an increase of 11.3%, or $78.7 million, from the prior year, and up 6.6%, or $48.1 million, sequentially.
    • Tenth consecutive quarter that total finance receivables have grown at least 10% over the prior-year period.
    • Total core small and large loan receivables increased $105.4 million, or 18.6%, compared to the prior-year period, and $55.2 million, or 9.0%, sequentially.
    • Large loan finance receivables of $308.6 million increased $91.5 million, or 42.2%, from the prior-year period and now represent 39.8% of the total loan portfolio. Small loan finance receivables as of September 30, 2017 were $363.3 million, an increase of 4.0% over the prior-year period.
  • Total revenue for the third quarter of 2017 was $69.2 million, a $6.7 million, or 10.8%, increase from the prior-year period.
    • Interest and fee income increase of 10.8%, driven by an 11.3% increase in receivables compared to the prior-year period.
    • Overall yield decrease of 30 basis points on a year-over-year basis.
  • Provision for credit losses for the third quarter of 2017 was $20.2 million, an increase of $3.7 million compared to the prior-year period. The provision for credit losses for the third quarter of 2017 included $3.0 million of incremental hurricane allowance, $1.2 million of higher net credit losses, and $0.6 million due to a temporary shift of insurance claims expense (which had no impact on net income), partially offset by a $1.0 million reduction resulting from the bulk sale.
    • Annualized net credit losses as a percentage of finance receivables were 7.8% (inclusive of 0.5% attributable to the shift in insurance claims expense noted above and a 0.5% reduction due to the bulk sale), a decrease from 8.0% in the prior-year period.
  • Total delinquencies as a percentage of total finance receivables as of September 30, 2017 were 17.5%, an improvement from 18.2% as of September 30, 2016, and flat sequentially.
    • 30+ day contractual delinquencies were 6.8%, an improvement from 7.1% as of September 30, 2016 and up from 6.5% sequentially.
  • Effective this month, the Company will discontinue originating auto loans, while it will continue to own and service the remaining loans in its auto portfolio. The Company expects minimal impact to net income, as reductions in revenue will be offset by expense savings and growth in the Company’s core business.

“Despite the impact of the hurricanes, our third quarter performance drivers remained strong,” said Peter R. Knitzer, President and Chief Executive Officer of Regional Management. “We continued to generate year-over-year double-digit growth on our top line and in our finance receivables, with our credit performance, excluding the impact from the hurricanes, also improving. While our bottom line was clearly affected by the impact of the hurricanes, the additional $3.0 million allowance we took in the quarter should encompass any future net credit loss impact. Most importantly, we took great care to assist our customers in need and the hurricanes should have no impact on our overall business results and strategic plans for 2018 and beyond.”

“In addition, we announced today that we are discontinuing auto loan originations, further prioritizing our focus on the growth of our core small and large loan portfolios,” added Mr. Knitzer. “Finally, we successfully converted our branches in Texas to our new operating platform and now have 80% of our accounts on the new system. Overall, we continue to steadily progress in terms of our core loan strategy and infrastructure build, and we remain well positioned to deliver long-term shareholder value.”

Third Quarter 2017 Results

Finance receivables outstanding at September 30, 2017 were $774.9 million, an 11.3% increase from $696.1 million in the prior year. Finance receivables increased primarily due to an increase in both the core small and large loan portfolios.

For the third quarter ended September 30, 2017, the Company reported total revenue of $69.2 million, a 10.8% increase from $62.5 million in the prior-year period. Interest and fee income for the third quarter of 2017 was $63.6 million, a 10.8% increase from $57.4 million in the prior-year period, primarily due to an increase in the small and large loan portfolios compared to the prior-year period. Insurance income, net for the third quarter of 2017 was $3.1 million, a 31.9% increase from the prior-year period, primarily attributable to a transition in insurance carriers, causing some of the Company’s insurance claims to impact net credit losses instead of insurance income. This line swing had no impact on net income. Other income for the third quarter of 2017 was $2.5 million, an 8.3% decrease from the prior-year period, primarily the result of waiving extension and late fees for customers in hurricane-affected areas.

The provision for credit losses in the third quarter of 2017 was $20.2 million, compared to $16.4 million in the prior-year period. The increase was primarily due to an incremental $3.0 million of provision for credit losses associated with the impact of the hurricanes, higher net credit losses, and the temporary shift of $0.6 million in insurance claims expense, partially offset by proceeds of $1.0 million from the bulk sale.

Net credit losses were $14.8 million in the third quarter of 2017, an increase of $1.2 million over the prior-year period, consistent with portfolio growth. Net credit losses for the third quarter of 2017 included $1.0 million of losses attributable to the temporary shift of certain insurance claims expense into net credit losses during a transition in the Company’s insurance provider. Annualized net credit losses as a percentage of average finance receivables in the third quarter of 2017 were 7.8% (inclusive of 0.5% attributable to the shift in insurance claims expense noted above and a 0.5% reduction due to the bulk sale), an improvement from 8.0% in the prior-year period.

General and administrative expenses for the third quarter of 2017 were $33.8 million, an increase of 11.1%, or $3.4 million, from the prior-year period. General and administrative expenses for both the third quarters of 2017 and 2016 included $0.4 million of loan system conversion costs. Sequentially, general and administrative expenses increased $2.2 million, or 6.9%, from the second quarter of 2017, primarily from personnel cost increases due to seasonal increases in bonuses, increases in average wages, staffing related to growth, accelerated implementation of centralized collections, and a $0.5 million increase in marketing spend.

Interest expense was $6.7 million in the third quarter of 2017, compared to $5.1 million in the prior-year period. The increase in interest expense was due to higher long-term debt amounts outstanding from finance receivable growth, a federal funds rate increase, larger unused lines of credit, and incremental debt issuance costs associated with upsizing the senior revolving credit facility and entering into the new warehouse credit facility. The Company’s diversified sources of funding continue to position it for long-term growth.

Net income for the third quarter of 2017 was $5.3 million, a decrease from $6.5 million in the prior-year period. Diluted earnings per share for the third quarter of 2017 were $0.45, a decrease from $0.56 in the prior-year period.

Nine Months 2017 Results

For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Company reported total revenue of $200.4 million, a 13.5% increase from $176.5 million in the prior-year period. Interest and fee income for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 was $182.7 million, a 13.2% increase from $161.3 million in the prior-year period, primarily due to an increase in the portfolios of both small and large installment loans compared to the prior-year period. Insurance income, net for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 was $10.0 million, a 26.6% increase from the prior-year period, in part attributable to the temporary shift of certain claims expense into provision for credit losses during the Company’s transition to a new insurance provider. Other income for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 was $7.7 million, a 5.6% increase from the prior-year period.

The provision for credit losses for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 was $57.9 million, compared to $43.6 million in the prior-year period. Net credit losses for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 were $51.7 million, compared to $41.9 million in the prior-year period. Net credit losses for the current-year period included $3.6 million of losses attributable to a temporary shift of certain insurance claims expense into net credit losses during a transition in the Company’s insurance provider. Annualized net credit losses as a percentage of average finance receivables for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 were 9.5% (inclusive of 0.7% attributable to the shift in insurance claims expense noted above and a 0.2% reduction due to the bulk sale), an increase from 8.7% in the prior-year period.

General and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 were $96.9 million, an increase of $7.1 million, or 7.9%, from $89.8 million in the prior-year period. Included in the nine months 2017 and 2016 results were $1.2 million and $1.4 million in loan system conversion costs, respectively.

Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 was $19.1 million, an 8.6% increase compared to net income of $17.6 million in the prior-year period. Diluted earnings per share for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 was $1.62 compared to $1.44 in the prior-year period.
