- Adjusted net income of $5.0 million and adjusted diluted earnings per share of $0.54 -

GREENVILLE, S.C.--()--Regional Management Corp. (NYSE: RM), a diversified consumer finance company, today announced results for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2022.

“We closed 2022 with a solid fourth quarter, including financial results that were better than our expectations,” said Robert W. Beck, President and Chief Executive Officer of Regional Management Corp. “While net income was $2.4 million and diluted EPS was $0.25 in the quarter, we produced adjusted net income of $5.0 million and adjusted diluted EPS of $0.54. We grew our portfolio by $92 million to $1.7 billion, but continued strong demand has allowed us to be selective about the borrowers to whom we make loans, particularly as we have tightened credit since fourth quarter 2021 and intentionally slowed our growth rate throughout 2022. We finished the quarter with a 30+ day delinquency rate of 7.1%, just 10 basis points higher than 2019 pre-pandemic levels, and our first payment default rate improved to 7.1% in December, 240 basis points better than September 2022 and 170 basis points better than December 2019.”

“We also took several meaningful steps in the quarter to prepare us for the new year,” added Mr. Beck. “Late in the quarter, we disposed of a portfolio of non-performing loans at an attractive price. The sale enabled us to put some of our stressed segments behind us and re-focus more of our efforts on earlier-stage delinquent accounts, where we experienced improvements in roll rates and delinquency. We also continued to tighten credit in the quarter, particularly to new borrowers, completed the rollout of our next generation custom credit scorecard, expanded our collections capabilities, released an enhanced customer portal, and increased pricing in certain states and segments.”

“Looking ahead, we believe that the actions we took in 2022 position us to address the challenging economic environment and will enable us to respond quickly when conditions improve,” continued Mr. Beck. “In 2023, we will continue our focus on our highest confidence originations, emphasizing quality over quantity. A greater percentage of our originations will be to present and former borrowers, with new borrower lending disproportionately skewed to our newer states. As a result, we expect receivables growth to slow in 2023. As always, we will tightly manage our expenses, and we will monitor our credit performance and the macroeconomic environment closely, making further adjustments to underwriting as necessary. Our business and our customers remain resilient, and we are well-positioned to drive controlled, sustainable growth and profitability on behalf of our shareholders.”

Adjusted net income and adjusted diluted earnings per share are non-GAAP measures. Please refer to the reconciliations of non-GAAP measures to comparable GAAP measures included at the end of this press release.

Fourth Quarter 2022 Highlights

  • Net income for the fourth quarter of 2022 was $2.4 million and diluted earnings per share was $0.25, inclusive of a $2.7 million impact to net income from the sale of $27.1 million of non-performing loans. Excluding the impact of this loan sale, adjusted net income was $5.0 million and adjusted diluted earnings per share was $0.54.
  • Net finance receivables as of December 31, 2022 were $1.70 billion, an increase of $273.1 million, or 19.2%, from the prior-year period.
    • Large loan net finance receivables of $1.2 billion increased $237.5 million, or 24.5%, from the prior-year period and represented 71.1% of the total loan portfolio, compared to 68.1% in the prior-year period.
    • Small loan net finance receivables were $481.6 million, an increase of 8.2% from the prior-year period.

    • Interest and fee income increased $10.3 million, or 9.6%, primarily due to higher average net finance receivables.
    • Insurance income, net increased $1.3 million, or 14.1%, driven by portfolio growth.
    • Non-performing loan sale negatively impacted total revenue by $2.2 million.
  • Provision for credit losses for the fourth quarter of 2022 was $60.8 million, an increase of $29.8 million, or 96.0%, from the prior-year period. The provision for credit losses for the fourth quarter of 2022 included a reserve reduction of $11.8 million related to the sale of late-stage, non-performing loans, partially offset by incremental reserves of $9.1 million related to $91.8 million in sequential portfolio growth and $1.7 million based on the macroeconomic model.
    • Allowance for credit losses was $178.8 million as of December 31, 2022, including a $20.7 million allowance for credit losses reserve associated with estimated future macroeconomic impacts on credit losses.
  • Annualized net credit losses as a percentage of average net finance receivables for the fourth quarter of 2022 were 15.0%, compared to 6.4% in the prior-year period. Approximately 320 basis points of the fourth quarter 2022 net credit loss rate was attributable to the sale of non-performing loans.

The 30+ day contractual delinquency compares favorably to the company’s $178.8 million allowance for credit losses as of December 31, 2022.
  • General and administrative expenses for the fourth quarter of 2022 were $55.1 million, a decrease of $0.4 million, or 0.7%, from the prior-year period.
  • The operating expense ratio (annualized general and administrative expenses as a percentage of average net finance receivables) for the fourth quarter of 2022 was 13.4%, a 290 basis point improvement compared to the prior-year period.
  • The company expanded its operations to the state of Idaho in December. The company expects to expand into one additional state in the first quarter of 2023.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to financial measures presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), this press release contains certain non-GAAP financial measures. The company’s management utilizes non-GAAP measures as additional metrics to aid in, and enhance, its understanding of the company’s financial results. Tangible equity and the funded debt-to-tangible equity ratio are non-GAAP measures that adjust GAAP measures to exclude intangible assets. Management uses these equity measures to evaluate and manage the company’s capital and leverage position. The company also believes that these equity measures are commonly used in the financial services industry and provide useful information to users of the company’s financial statements in the evaluation of its capital and leverage position. Adjusted net income and adjusted diluted net income per common share are non-GAAP measures that adjust GAAP measures to exclude the impacts of the non-performing loan sale. Management uses these adjusted measures to evaluate and manage the company's performance by excluding certain material items that may not be representative of the company’s financial results. As a result, the company also believes that these adjusted measures will aid users of its financial statements in the evaluation of its operating performance.

This 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, the company’s non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to similarly titled non-GAAP measures of other companies. The following tables provide a reconciliation of GAAP measures to non-GAAP measures.
