GREENVILLE, S.C.--()--Regional Management Corp. (NYSE:RM), a diversified consumer finance company, today announced results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2016.

Third Quarter 2016 Highlights

  • Net income for the third quarter of 2016 was $6.5 million, comparable with the prior-year period; non-GAAP net income was $6.7 million, an increase of 3.4% from the prior-year period. Diluted earnings per share were $0.56, and on a non-GAAP basis, diluted earnings per share were $0.58. Non-GAAP net income excludes $0.4 million of non-operating system implementation costs.
  • Total finance receivables as of September 30, 2016 were $696 million, an increase of 15.7%, or $95 million, from the prior year and up 7.8%, or $50 million, sequentially:
    • Sixth consecutive quarter that total finance receivables have increased at least 10% over the prior-year period.
    • Large loan finance receivables of $217 million increased $97 million, or 81.3%, from the prior-year period and now represent over 31% of the total loan portfolio.
  • Total revenue for the third quarter of 2016 was $62.5 million, a $7.4 million, or 13.4%, increase from the prior-year period, and a $5.2 million, or 9.0%, increase sequentially. Revenue growth over the prior-year period was driven by a 15.7% increase in receivables, partially offset by an overall yield decline of 40 basis points. On a sequential basis, overall yield increased by 30 basis points.
  • Net charge-offs for the third quarter of 2016 were $13.5 million, an increase of $1.0 million versus the prior-year period. Annualized net charge-offs of 8.0% of average finance receivables were down 50 basis points compared to the prior-year period.
  • Total delinquencies as a percentage of total finance receivables as of September 30, 2016 were 18.2%, a slight decline from 18.3% as of June 30, 2016 and an improvement from 22.4% as of September 30, 2015.
    • 30+ day contractual delinquencies were 7.1%, an increase sequentially from 6.8% as of June 30, 2016 – consistent with the seasonality of Regional Management’s business – but reduced from 7.3% as of September 30, 2015.
  • In August, Regional Management amended its senior revolving credit facility agreement, increasing the committed line to $585 million and extending the maturity date to August 2019. The upper limit of the accordion feature of the credit facility was also increased to $650 million.

“Our third quarter was marked by strong growth in our core small and large loan portfolios,” said Peter R. Knitzer, Chief Executive Officer of Regional Management Corp. “Total finance receivables increased nearly 16% from the prior year and grew almost 8% from June 30th of this year alone. Our interest and fee income increased over 15%, which tracks closely with our portfolio growth. As a result of strong portfolio growth, our provision for credit losses in the quarter increased $2.3 million over the prior-year period, but our net charge-offs as a percentage of average finance receivables improved from the prior-year period, once again showing the stability of our credit performance. While our personnel expense held mostly in line with previous quarters in 2016, it was elevated from the prior-year period due to lower incentive expense in the third quarter of 2015.”

“In addition to solid operating results for the quarter, the transition to our new operating platform continues to progress,” continued Mr. Knitzer. “We recently converted our third state, North Carolina, to the new system, and as we’ve continued the implementation process, we’ve learned that the most prudent course of action is to successfully convert one state at a time. As a result, we expect the system to be fully adopted in all of our states in the first half of 2017. We are pleased with the system’s performance thus far, and we continue to focus our efforts on converting our remaining states, which will allow us to enhance our opportunities for the long-term success of the Company.”

Third Quarter 2016 Results

Finance receivables outstanding at September 30, 2016 were $696.1 million, a 15.7% increase from $601.6 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 16 de novo branches since September 30, 2015. On a sequential basis, finance receivables increased by $50.4 million from the second quarter.

For the third quarter ended September 30, 2016, the Company reported total revenue of $62.5 million, a 13.4% increase from $55.1 million in the prior-year period. Interest and fee income for the third quarter of 2016 was $57.4 million, a 15.4% increase from $49.7 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 third quarter of 2016 was $2.3 million, a decline of $0.4 million from the prior-year period due primarily to increased claims expense. Other income for the third quarter of 2016 was $2.7 million, a 4.7% increase from the prior-year period.

The provision for credit losses in the third quarter of 2016 was $16.4 million versus $14.1 million in the prior-year period, primarily due to the growth of finance receivables in the quarter. In addition, the allowance for credit losses increased sequentially at the same rate as loan growth, resulting in the provision for credit losses increasing by approximately $3.0 million from the second quarter.

Net charge-offs were $13.5 million in the third quarter of 2016 versus $12.5 million in the prior-year period. On a sequential basis, net charge-offs in the third quarter of 2016 increased slightly from the second quarter of 2016. Annualized net charge-offs as a percentage of average finance receivables in the third quarter of 2016 were 8.0%, an improvement from 8.5% in the prior-year period and 8.6% in the second quarter of 2016.

General and administrative expenses for the third quarter of 2016 were $30.5 million, an increase of 16.3%, or $4.3 million, from the prior-year period. Home office expenses increased $3.7 million from the prior-year period primarily due to $2.2 million in increased incentive expense and $0.8 million in increased salary expense. Incentive expense increased due to reduced short- and long-term incentive plan accruals in the prior-year period that did not recur in the third quarter of 2016. Salaries increased primarily due to the addition of 13 employees in the home office. Branch expenses in the third quarter of 2016 improved $0.1 million from the prior-year period, despite the addition of 16 net new branches since September 30, 2015, as branch headcount decreased due to the 2015 phase-out of field calling as a collection activity. Sequentially, general and administrative expenses rose $0.9 million, or 3.1%, from the second quarter of 2016. Excluding $0.4 million in loan system conversion costs in the third quarter of 2016, general and administrative expenses for the third quarter of 2016 would have been $30.0 million versus $26.2 million in the prior-year period.

GAAP net income for the third quarter of 2016 was $6.5 million, comparable with the prior-year period. Diluted earnings per share for the third quarter of 2016 were $0.56, an increase from $0.50 in the prior-year period. Excluding the aforementioned non-operating expense in the third quarter of 2016, non-GAAP net income in the third quarter of 2016 would have been $6.7 million and diluted earnings per share would have been $0.58. For a reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to the comparable GAAP financial measure, please refer to the reconciliation table accompanying this release.

Nine Months 2016 Results

For the nine months ended September 30, 2016, the Company reported total revenue of $176.5 million, a 9.9% increase from $160.6 million in the prior-year period. Interest and fee income for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 was $161.3 million, an 11.7% increase from $144.5 million in the prior-year period, primarily due to a significant 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, 2016 was $7.9 million, a 10.5% decrease from the prior-year period, primarily attributable to increased claims expense. Other income for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 was $7.3 million, comparable with the prior-year period.

The provision for credit losses for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 was $43.6 million versus $35.9 million in the prior-year period.
