Insights
Atlanticus's Q4 and full-year 2024 results demonstrate robust financial performance across key metrics. The 28.0% net margin growth and 31.7% increase in net income to
Particularly impressive is the company's 22.3% return on average equity, demonstrating capital-efficient growth in an industry where double-digit ROE is considered strong. The acquisition of 368,000 new accounts in Q4 alone indicates continued market share gains and effective customer acquisition strategies despite acknowledged competitive pressures.
The five-year performance metrics are exceptional - compound annual growth rates of

Atlanticus's strategy execution in 2024 demonstrates remarkable agility in navigating multiple market disruptions. Most financial services companies would struggle to maintain growth amid what management describes as "a pandemic, credit score inflation, rapid increases in inflation, recessionary pressure, unforeseen regulatory changes, and an irrational competitive environment." Yet Atlanticus not only survived but thrived, suggesting their risk management frameworks and adaptable business model provide sustainable competitive advantages.
The company's private label credit business shows particular strength with
Management's forward-looking statements indicate confidence in continued above-market growth while maintaining their disciplined return targets. The focus on technological investment, automation, and risk underwriting capabilities suggests they're building infrastructure to scale efficiently. Their mention of "significant reductions in servicing costs per account" from scale economies and automation indicates a clear path to improving unit economics as they grow.
Planned increases in marketing expenditures for 2025, coupled with tightened underwriting standards targeting higher FICO consumers, signals a strategic pivot toward slightly lower-risk, lower-yield customers. This balanced approach to growth preserves profitability while potentially reducing volatility in their credit performance.

Management Commentary
Jeff Howard, President and Chief Executive Officer at Atlanticus stated, “We are pleased to have once again achieved our return on capital targets while prudently growing our business. The past few years have had numerous disruptions – a pandemic, credit score inflation resulting from trillions of dollars of government stimulus, rapid increases in inflation, recessionary pressure on everyday Americans, an unforeseen potential regulatory change and an irrational competitive environment brought on by numerous new entrants into our lines of business. I am incredibly proud of the way the Atlanticus team has managed through this tumultuous period. Despite these challenges, over the last 5 years we have grown managed receivables on a compounded annual growth rate of
“Although we continue to manage through lingering effects from these challenges, we are excited about what lies ahead. While our primary focus is on achieving at or above targeted returns on our capital, we see opportunity to continue achieving above market rates of growth across our business.”

Managed Receivables
Managed receivables increased
Total Operating Revenue and Other Income
Total operating revenue and other income consists of: 1) interest income, finance charges and late fees on consumer loans, 2) other fees on credit products including annual and merchant fees and 3) interchange and servicing income on loan portfolios and other customer related fees.
We are currently experiencing continued period-over-period growth in private label credit and general purpose credit card receivables — growth that we expect to result in net period-over-period growth in our total interest income and related fees for these operations throughout 2025. Future periods’ growth is dependent on the addition of new retail partners to expand the reach of private label credit operations as well as growth within existing partnerships and the level of marketing investment for the general purpose credit card operations.
During the quarter ended December 31, 2024, total operating revenue and other income increased
Interest Expense
Interest expense was
Outstanding notes payable, net of unamortized debt issuance costs and discounts, associated with our private label credit and general purpose credit card platform increased to
Changes in Fair Value of Loans
Changes in fair value of loans increased to
We include asset performance degradation in our forecasts to reflect both changes in assumed asset level economics and the possibility of delinquency rates increasing in the near term (and the corresponding increase in charge-offs and decrease in payments) above the level that current trends would suggest. Based on observed asset performance, implementation of mitigants to a potential change in late fee billings and general improvements in U.S. economic expectations due to the improved inflation environment, some expected degradation has been removed in recent periods. Tightened underwriting standards shifted new receivable acquisitions to consumers at the higher end of the FICO bands in which our bank partners participate, presumably resulting in improved overall credit performance of our acquired receivables. When coupled with those existing assets negatively impacted by inflation gradually becoming a smaller percentage of the outstanding portfolio, we expect to see overall improvements in the measured fair value of our portfolios of acquired receivables.
Total Operating Expenses
Total operating expenses increased
We expect some continued increase in salaries and benefits in 2025 compared to corresponding periods in 2024 as we continue to invest in technology, risk underwriting and compliance and as a result we expect to increase our number of employees.
We expect increased levels of expenditures associated with anticipated growth in private label credit and general purpose credit card operations. These expenses will primarily relate to the variable costs of marketing efforts and card and loan servicing expenses associated with new receivable acquisitions. Offsetting a portion of this increase are significant reductions in our servicing costs per account, resulting from the realization of greater economies of scale and increased use of automation as our receivables have grown.
In addition, as we continue to adjust our underwriting standards to reflect changes in fee and finance assumptions on new receivables, and allow for overall increases in the cost to successfully market to consumers, we expect period over period marketing costs for 2025 to increase relative to those experienced in 2024, although the frequency and timing of increased marketing efforts could vary and are dependent on macroeconomic factors such as national unemployment rates and federal funds rates.

Additional trends and data with respect to our private label credit and general purpose credit card receivables can be found in our latest Form 10-K filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission under Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
Calculation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release presents information about managed receivables, which is a non-GAAP financial measure provided as a supplement to the results provided in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP). In addition to financial measures presented in accordance with GAAP, we present managed receivables, total managed yield, combined principal net charge-offs, and fair value to total managed receivables ratio, all of which are non-GAAP financial measures. These non-GAAP financial measures aid in the evaluation of the performance of our credit portfolios, including our risk management, servicing and collection activities and our valuation of purchased receivables. The credit performance of our managed receivables provides information concerning the quality of loan originations and the related credit risks inherent with the portfolios. Management relies heavily upon financial data and results prepared on the managed basis in order to manage our business, make planning decisions, evaluate our performance and allocate resources.
These non-GAAP financial measures are presented for supplemental informational purposes only. These non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, GAAP financial measures. These non-GAAP financial measures may differ from the non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. A reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures or the calculation of the non-GAAP financial measures are provided below for each of the fiscal periods indicated.
These non-GAAP financial measures include only the performance of those receivables underlying consolidated subsidiaries (for receivables carried at amortized cost basis and fair value) and exclude the performance of receivables held by our former equity method investee. As the receivables underlying our former equity method investee reflect a small and diminishing portion of our overall receivables base, we do not believe their inclusion or exclusion in the overall results is material. Additionally, we calculate average managed receivables based on the quarter-end balances.
The comparison of non-GAAP managed receivables to our GAAP financial statements requires an understanding that managed receivables reflect the face value of loans, interest and fees receivable without any consideration for potential loan losses or other adjustments to reflect fair value.
A reconciliation of Loans at fair value to Total managed receivables is as follows:
