PLANO, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Rent-A-Center, Inc. (the "Company" or "Rent-A-Center") (NASDAQ:RCII) today announced results for the quarter ended June 30, 2022.
"Second quarter results were at or above the high end of the guidance ranges we provided in May, and we met our key objectives for the first half of the year, which were to optimize Acima’s underwriting approach for the current environment, maintain year-over-year portfolio growth for the Rent-A-Center Segment, and manage costs to support profitability in this challenging environment," said Mitch Fadel, Chief Executive Officer.
“While we have executed well in areas of the business that we control, external factors like inflation, economic growth, and discretionary income worsened during the first half of the year and into the third quarter. Assuming the current external environment continues for the remainder of the year, we believe the negative effect on consumer demand, merchant partner traffic, and customer payment behavior would cause us to fall short of the full year 2022 financial targets that we introduced in February. Consequently, we are lowering our full-year 2022 financial targets, as provided in today's earnings release."
"Despite these external headwinds, we still expect a sequential increase in profits for the second half of the year, and with our adjustments to our underwriting approach, we believe the Company is well positioned to address the growing need for alternative payment solutions in the quarters ahead,” continued Mr. Fadel.
"Longer-term, we remain very optimistic about our business, strategy, and the compelling shareholder value creation opportunities we see in our platform of solutions designed to help financially underserved consumers access products that enhance their quality of life," concluded Mr. Fadel.
Second Quarter Consolidated Results
- Second quarter 2022 consolidated revenues of $1.1 billion decreased 10.3% year-over-year, primarily due to lower merchandise sales revenue and rental revenues compared to the prior year period. Merchandise sales revenue decreased year-over-year primarily due to reduced utilization of early payout options, likely due to pressure on discretionary income from the high rates of inflation in the current year and the wind down of government stimulus programs in the second half of 2021. The Acima Segment was the primary contributor to the decrease in rental and fees revenues, resulting from lower GMV in recent quarters and higher reserves on receivables compared to the prior year period.
- GAAP operating profit for the second quarter of 2022 was $58.1 million compared to $106.5 million in the prior year period. GAAP net income for the second quarter of 2022 was $19.7 million and included $49.0 million of costs, net of tax, relating to special items described below, compared to $61.3 million of GAAP net income and $49.3 million of costs, net of tax, relating to special items in the prior year period.
- Adjusted EBITDA in the second quarter of 2022 was $128.9 million and decreased 31.1% year-over-year primarily due to lower revenues, higher loss rates on lease vintages underwritten in late 2021, and higher operating costs stemming from increases in wages and delivery expenses. Adjusted EBITDA margin was 12.0% in the second quarter of 2022 compared to 15.7% in the prior year period, and margin contraction resulted from the same factors that negatively impacted Adjusted EBITDA.
- GAAP diluted earnings per share for the second quarter of 2022 was $0.33 compared to diluted earnings per share of $0.90 in the prior year period. Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share, which excludes the impact of special items described below, for the second quarter of 2022 was $1.15 compared to $1.63 in the prior year period.
- For the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company generated $287.1 million of cash from operations and ended the second quarter with $112.2 million of cash and cash equivalents, $1.4 billion of debt outstanding, $500 million of liquidity that included $388 million of undrawn revolving credit availability, and a net debt to Adjusted EBITDA ratio of 2.4 times. During the second quarter, the Company returned $18.4 million of cash to shareholders through dividends, and paid down $30.0 million on its revolving credit facility.
Second Quarter Segment Highlights
Acima Segment: Second quarter 2022 revenues of $530.2 million decreased 16.5% year-over-year, driven by lower rental and fees revenues and reduced merchandise sales. The decrease in rental and fees revenues was primarily due to decreases in Gross Merchandise Volume (GMV) in the first and second quarters of 2022 and higher provisions on delinquencies compared to the prior year period, which benefited from government stimulus programs driving favorable customer payment trends. The decrease in merchandise sales revenues was primarily attributable to a lower proportion of customers utilizing early payout options in the current year compared to the prior year, which was likely the result of pressure on customers' discretionary income from higher rates of inflation in the current year and the wind down of government stimulus programs in the second half of 2021. Second quarter GMV decreased 24.2% year-over-year due to changes in underwriting that occurred during the first half of the current year, designed to better manage lease performance, as well as tough comparisons from the second quarter of last year when demand for consumer durables benefited from the effects of government stimulus programs. These reductions were partially offset by growth in total active locations from the prior year period. However, on a two-year stacked basis, GMV increased 19%. Skip/stolen losses were 11.6% of revenue in the second quarter of 2022 compared to 12.6% in the first quarter of 2022 and 8.7% in the prior year period. On a GAAP basis, segment operating profit was $35.8 million with an operating profit margin of 6.8% in the second quarter of 2022, compared to $68.1 million and 10.7% in the prior year period. Adjusted EBITDA was $53.0 million with an Adjusted EBITDA margin of 10.0% in the second quarter of 2022, compared to $29.0 million and 4.8% in the first quarter of 2022 and $87.3 million and 13.7% in the prior year period. The year-over-year decrease in Adjusted EBITDA was primarily attributable to lower revenues, including the effect of higher delinquency rates, and higher loss rates caused by a lag in adjustments to underwriting as customer payment behavior worsened towards the end of 2021.
Rent-A-Center Business Segment: Second quarter 2022 revenues of $490.2 million decreased 3.1% year-over-year on a 3.3% decrease in same-store sales primarily attributable to a decline in merchandise sales and reduced utilization of early payout options in the quarter, which had benefited from government stimulus programs in the prior year period. Rental and fee revenues also decreased year-over-year, mainly due to a decrease in the percent of lease payments collected. E-commerce accounted for 22.7% of revenue in the quarter, compared to 20.4% in the prior year period. The segment lease portfolio value increased 2.0% compared to the prior year period, and same-store sales were up 13.3% on a two-year stacked basis. Skip/stolen losses were 4.2% of revenue in the second quarter of 2022 compared to 2.3% in the prior year period. On a GAAP basis, segment operating profit in the quarter was $99.1 million with operating profit margin of 20.2%, compared to $126.5 million and 25.0% in the prior year period. Adjusted EBITDA in the quarter was $104.1 million with Adjusted EBITDA margin of 21.2%, compared to $131.1 million and 25.9% in the prior year period. The decline in segment operating profit and Adjusted EBITDA was primarily attributable to normalized loss rates compared to the prior year period that benefited from government stimulus programs, and increases in wages and delivery expenses in the current year period. On June 30, 2022, the Rent-A-Center Business segment had 1,850 company-operated locations.
Franchising Segment: Second quarter 2022 revenues of $34.2 million decreased 9.1% year-over-year due to lower inventory purchases per store. Segment operating profit, on a GAAP basis, and Adjusted EBITDA were $5.3 million in the second quarter and decreased $0.4 million year-over-year. On June 30, 2022, there were 457 franchise-operated locations.
Mexico Segment: Second quarter 2022 revenues of $16.7 million increased 9.4% year-over-year on a constant currency basis. Segment operating profit, on a GAAP basis, and Adjusted EBITDA were $1.9 million and $2.1 million, respectively. In the second quarter, GAAP operating profit decreased by $0.4 million year-over-year. On June 30, 2022, the Mexico business had 123 company-operated locations.
Corporate Segment: Second quarter 2022 non-GAAP basis expenses decreased $5.8 million year-over-year or 10.8%, reflecting lower incentive compensation versus the prior year period. Sequentially, non-GAAP expenses decreased $10.5 million, driven by cost management actions.

Because of the inherent uncertainty related to the special items identified in the tables below, management does not believe it is able to provide a meaningful forecast of the comparable GAAP measures or reconciliation to any forecasted GAAP measure without unreasonable effort. Adjusted EBITDA figures exclude stock based compensation beginning with the first quarter of 2022. |
(3) Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share excludes the impact of incremental depreciation and amortization related to the estimated fair value of acquired Acima assets, stock compensation expense associated with the Acima Acquisition equity consideration subject to vesting conditions, and one-time transaction and integration costs related to the Acima Acquisition. Guidance excludes the impact of future share repurchases. |
Additional Commentary on the 2022 Outlook
- 2022 guidance assumes the macro headwinds that affected the business in the second quarter of 2022, including high rates of inflation, pressures on discretionary income, and the effect of lower levels of government stimulus relief for our core consumers, will continue at current levels throughout the year.
- The Company has modified its definition of Adjusted EBITDA beginning with first quarter 2022 results to exclude stock-based compensation. Therefore, 2022 Adjusted EBITDA guidance excludes the impact of stock-based compensation, whereas prior period Adjusted EBITDA within the remainder of this press release has been adjusted to exclude the impact of stock-based compensation.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This release and the Company's related conference call contain certain financial information determined by methods other than in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), including (1) Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share (net earnings, as adjusted for special items (as defined below), net of taxes, divided by the number of shares of our common stock on a fully diluted basis), (2) Adjusted EBITDA (net earnings before interest, taxes, stock-based compensation, depreciation and amortization, as adjusted for special items) on a consolidated and segment basis and (3) Free Cash Flow (net cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures). “Special items” refers to certain gains and charges we view as extraordinary, unusual or non-recurring in nature and which we believe do not reflect our core business activities. For the periods presented herein, these special items are described in the quantitative reconciliation tables included below in this release. Because of the inherent uncertainty related to the special items, management does not believe it is able to provide a meaningful forecast of the comparable GAAP measures or reconciliation to any forecasted GAAP measure without unreasonable effort.
These non-GAAP measures are additional tools intended to assist our management in comparing our performance on a more consistent basis for purposes of business decision-making by removing the impact of certain items management believes do not directly reflect our core operations. These measures are intended to assist management in evaluating operating performance and liquidity, comparing performance and liquidity across periods, planning and forecasting future business operations, helping determine levels of operating and capital investments and identifying and assessing additional trends potentially impacting our Company that may not be shown solely by comparisons of GAAP measures. Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA is also used as part of our incentive compensation program for our executive officers and others.
We believe these non-GAAP financial measures also provide supplemental information that is useful to investors, analysts and other external users of our consolidated financial statements in understanding our financial results and evaluating our performance and liquidity from period to period. However, non-GAAP financial measures have inherent limitations and are not substitutes for or superior to, and they should be read together with, our consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. Further, because non-GAAP financial measures are not standardized, it may not be possible to compare such measures to the non-GAAP financial measures presented by other companies, even if they have the same or similar names.
