“We had a very strong third quarter and our performance drivers continue to be robust,” said Peter R. Knitzer, President and Chief Executive Officer of Regional Management. “We generated another quarter of year-over-year double-digit growth on our top and bottom lines as well as in our finance receivables. Credit performance remains stable, with the slight uptick in September 30 delinquencies on a year-over-year basis returning to year-ago levels as of the end of October.”

“In addition to another quarter of strong growth and stable credit, we continued to keep a firm control on our overall expenses, which should lead to additional margin expansion over time,” continued Mr. Knitzer. “We also began implementing custom scorecards in our branches, which we believe will further improve our credit profile in the mid- to long-term. Moving forward, we remain squarely focused on our hybrid growth strategy of increasing our receivables per branch within our existing network, coupled with de novo expansion in the Midwest. Overall, we remain well-positioned to generate long-term shareholder value.”

Third Quarter 2018 Results

Finance receivables outstanding at September 30, 2018 were $888.1 million, a 14.6% increase from $774.9 million in the prior year. Finance receivables increased from continued strong growth in both the core small and large loan portfolios.

For the third quarter ended September 30, 2018, the Company reported total revenue of $77.9 million, a 12.6% increase from $69.2 million in the prior-year period. Interest and fee income for the third quarter of 2018 was $72.1 million, a 13.4% increase from $63.6 million in the prior-year period, primarily due to increases in the small and large loan portfolios compared to the prior-year period.

The provision for credit losses in the third quarter of 2018 was $23.6 million, a 17.3% increase compared to $20.2 million in the prior-year period. The provision for credit losses for the third quarter of 2018 included $3.9 million of incremental hurricane allowance, while the provision for credit losses for the third quarter of 2017 included $3.0 million of incremental hurricane allowance and a $1.0 million benefit resulting from the bulk sale.

Net credit losses were $16.8 million in the third quarter of 2018, an increase of $2.0 million over the prior-year period. The increase over the prior-year period was primarily due to portfolio growth. Annualized net credit losses as a percentage of average finance receivables in the third quarter of 2018 were 7.7%, a 10 basis point improvement from 7.8% in the prior-year period.

General and administrative expenses for the third quarter of 2018 were $35.9 million, an increase of $2.0 million, or 6.0%, from the prior-year period. Annualized general and administrative expenses as a percentage of average finance receivables improved 150 basis points from the prior-year period to 16.5% for the third quarter of 2018. General and administrative expenses for the third quarter of 2018 included higher personnel costs related to staffing increases in information technology, centralized collections, and branches to support ongoing loan portfolio growth.

Interest expense was $8.7 million in the third quarter of 2018, compared to $6.7 million in the prior-year period. The increase in interest expense was due to larger long-term debt amounts outstanding from growth in finance receivables, federal funds rate increases, larger unused lines of credit, incremental debt issuance costs associated with upsizing the senior revolving credit facility and entering into the warehouse credit facility, and the Company’s recently completed asset-based securitization. The Company’s diversified sources of funding continue to position it for long-term growth.

Net income for the third quarter of 2018 was $7.4 million, an increase from $5.3 million in the prior-year period. Excluding the aforementioned non-operating items, non-GAAP net income for the third quarter of 2018 was $10.3 million, up from non-GAAP net income of $6.9 million for the prior-year period. Diluted earnings per share for the third quarter of 2018 was $0.61, an increase from $0.45 in the prior-year period. Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share for the third quarter of 2018 was $0.85, an increase from $0.58 in the prior-year period. For a reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to the comparable GAAP financial measure, please refer to the reconciliation table accompanying this release.

We utilize certain non-GAAP measures as additional metrics to aid in, and enhance, the understanding of our financial results and related measures. We believe that these non-GAAP measures provide useful information by excluding certain material items that may not be indicative of our core operating results. We have presented non-GAAP measures that adjust for the impact of the bulk sale of previously charged-off bankrupt accounts (2017) and natural disasters (2017 and 2018) because these types of events rarely occurred prior to 2017 and, we believe, will occur infrequently in the future. As a result, we believe that the non-GAAP measures that we have presented will allow for a better evaluation of the operating performance of the business and facilitate a meaningful comparison of our results in the current period to those in prior and future periods. The non-GAAP financial information should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. In addition, our non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to similarly titled non-GAAP measures of other companies. The following table provides a reconciliation of GAAP measures to non-GAAP measures for the periods which include non-GAAP adjustments.
