Regional Management Corp. Announces Third Quarter 2015 Results

Regional Management Corp. (NYSE: RM), a diversified specialty consumer finance company, today announced results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2015.

Third Quarter 2015 Highlights and Subsequent Events

  • Net income for the third quarter of 2015 was $6.5 million, a $1.1 million increase sequentially and an increase of $5.1 million from the prior-year period, which included the impact of poor credit quality convenience check solicitations. Diluted earnings per share were $0.50 based on a diluted share count of 13.1 million.
  • Total finance receivables as of September 30, 2015 were $601.6 million, an increase of 10.7% from the prior-year period. Core loan categories continue to grow:
    • Large loan finance receivables as of September 30, 2015 were $119.7 million, an increase of 28.5% sequentially and 183.9% compared to the prior-year period.
    • Branch small loan and convenience check finance receivables, collectively, as of September 30, 2015 were $328.2 million, an increase of 4.2% sequentially and 5.7% over the prior-year period.
  • Total revenue for the third quarter of 2015 was $55.1 million, an increase of $2.1 million sequentially and a $1.2 million increase from the prior-year period. Revenue growth over the prior-year period was driven by a 10.7% increase in receivables, mostly offset by an overall yield decline of 270 basis points.
    • Branch small loan yield declined 450 basis points primarily due to the origination of higher balance loans that carry lower rates.
    • Convenience check yield declined 620 basis points, also primarily due to the origination of higher balance loans that carry lower rates. The yield decline from the prior-year period was also due to the absence of higher rate, poorer credit quality loans originated last year and which have now rolled out of the portfolio.
  • Net charge-offs were $12.5 million for the third quarter of 2015, or 8.5% of average finance receivables (annualized), improving from 8.7% in the prior-year period. The related provision for credit losses for the third quarter of 2015 was $14.1 million, a decline from $22.5 million in the prior-year period, and an increase from $12.1 million in the second quarter of 2015. The $2.0 million increase compared to the second quarter of 2015 primarily relates to the growth in the total portfolio.
  • Total delinquencies as a percentage of total finance receivables as of September 30, 2015 were 22.4%, down from 25.5% as of September 30, 2014 and up from 20.6% as of June 30, 2015, primarily reflecting seasonal industry trends.
  • Regional Management opened 6 new branches in the third quarter of 2015. As of September 30, 2015, Regional Management’s branch network consisted of 322 locations.
  • Regional Management renewed its senior revolving credit facility agreement in September, receiving an increase in the committed line under the credit facility to $538 million from the previous amount of $500 million, and a maturity extension from May 2016 to September 2018.
  • Earlier today, Regional Management initiated the marketing of $100 million of its existing charged-off accounts as well as the forward flow of its charge-offs and intends to complete the transaction in the fourth quarter of 2015, with the possibility that the transaction may be completed in the first quarter of 2016.

“The third quarter results continued the sequential quarter-over-quarter trend of reporting increased profits that began in the fourth quarter of 2014,” said Michael R. Dunn, Chief Executive Officer of Regional Management Corp. “Our core products of branch small loans, convenience checks and large loans saw strong receivables growth, up 27.0% compared to the prior-year period, and as a result, our combined loan portfolio grew to over $600 million for the first time. Large loan receivables at the end of the quarter stood at $120 million, up 28% on a sequential basis and nearly triple the amount in our portfolio at the end of the third quarter of 2014. Notably, large loan receivables now comprise 20% of our total portfolio compared to 8% at the end of the prior-year quarter, and we believe there remain opportunities for continued growth.”

“Our net charge-off rate of 8.5% for the third quarter of 2015 was down from 8.7% in the third quarter of 2014 and 9.4% in the second quarter of 2015, and demonstrates the improving quality of our portfolio,” continued Mr. Dunn. “Our delinquencies at the end of the third quarter were up from the second quarter, mainly due to seasonality. General and administrative expenses increased $900,000 over the prior-year period, primarily due to higher branch expenses. Importantly, last month we announced the renewal of our senior revolving credit facility. In addition to seeing an increase in the size of our committed line, we gained approval to complete an auto loan securitization of up to $100 million, which will provide available funding as we continue to focus on growing our core loan portfolios. We were pleased with the continued support from our group of lenders, and with that now behind us, we are fully focused on further building a profitable and well-managed business.”

Third Quarter 2015 Results

Finance receivables outstanding at September 30, 2015 were $601.6 million, a 10.7% increase from $543.4 million in the prior-year period. Finance receivables increased primarily due to an increase in both Regional Management’s small and large loan portfolios and the addition of 26 de novo branches since September 30, 2014.

For the third quarter ended September 30, 2015, Regional Management reported total revenue of $55.1 million, a 2.2% increase from $53.9 million in the prior-year period. Interest and fee income for the third quarter of 2015 was $49.7 million, a 1.9% increase from $48.8 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 and partially offset by lower interest and fee yield, primarily in the convenience check and branch small loan portfolios. Insurance income for the third quarter of 2015 was $2.8 million, a 5.0% increase from the prior-year period.

Provision for credit losses in the third quarter of 2015 was $14.1 million versus $22.5 million in the prior-year period. Net charge-offs were $12.5 million in the third quarter of 2015. Annualized net charge-offs as a percentage of average finance receivables for the third quarter of 2015 were 8.5%, an improvement from 8.7% in the prior-year period.

On a sequential basis, provision for credit losses of $14.1 million was $2.0 million higher than the second quarter of 2015, predominantly due to loan growth.

General and administrative expenses for the third quarter of 2015 were $26.2 million, an increase of 3.6% from $25.3 million in the prior-year period. The increase was driven primarily by $2.0 million of additional branch expenses, offset by a $0.5 million decline in home office expenses and a $0.6 million decline in marketing costs. Branch expenses include changes in staffing and incentive plans for all branches, as well as the expenses associated with 26 branches added since September 30, 2014.

Net income for the third quarter of 2015 was $6.5 million, a 365.8% increase compared to net income of $1.4 million in the prior-year period. Diluted earnings per share for the third quarter of 2015 were $0.50, an increase from $0.11 in the prior-year period.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2015, Regional Management reported total revenue of $160.6 million, a 6.4% increase from $150.9 million in the prior-year period. Interest and fee income for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 was $144.5 million, a 6.4% increase from $135.8 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 for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 was $8.8 million, a 4.8% increase from the prior-year period.

Provision for credit losses for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 was $35.9 million versus $53.1 million in the prior-year period. Net charge-offs of $38.6 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2015 exceeded the provision by $2.7 million as Regional Management released a portion of the allowance recorded in 2014 for convenience checks. Annualized net charge-offs as a percentage of average finance receivables for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 was 9.2%, a decline from 9.6% in the prior-year period.

General and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 were $87.0 million, an increase of $18.7 million, or 27.3%, from $68.4 million in the prior-year period. Included in the nine months 2015 results were $2.7 million in non-operating expenses. The balance of the expense increase of $16.0 million was driven primarily by $8.5 million of additional branch expenses, $6.5 million of additional home office expenses and $1.1 million of additional marketing costs. Branch expenses include changes in staffing and incentive plans for all branches, as well as the expenses associated with 58 branches added since December 31, 2013. The increase in home office expenses includes additional personnel, incentive plan changes and legal and consulting fees.
