Insights

Atlanticus Holdings 's Q2 2024 results show resilience in a challenging economic environment. The 8.6% increase in total operating revenue and 11.1% growth in managed receivables demonstrate the company's ability to expand its customer base and maintain growth momentum. However, the increased interest expense ($37.9 million vs $24.2 million in Q2 2023) due to higher borrowing costs is a concern.

The partnership with Synchrony is a significant strategic move, potentially opening up access to millions of declined applications annually. This could drive substantial long-term growth, especially as prime providers pull back from the market. The company's proactive approach to mitigating the impact of potential changes in late fee regulations is prudent, although the full effects remain to be seen.

While net income attributable to common shareholders decreased by 4.4%, the return on average equity of 17.0% remains strong. Investors should monitor the company's ability to maintain profitability as it navigates rising interest rates and regulatory changes.

Atlanticus's Q2 results reflect broader trends in the consumer credit market. The continued growth in managed receivables suggests resilient consumer spending, despite economic headwinds. However, the company's mention of tightened credit and moderated consumer spending aligns with overall market caution.

The record purchase volume in retail credit is particularly noteworthy, indicating potential market share gains as competitors retreat. This could position Atlanticus favorably in the 'second look' point of sale market. The company's ability to serve 3.6 million accounts, up 8.4% year-over-year, demonstrates strong customer acquisition and retention.

Investors should pay attention to the shift towards higher FICO receivables in the private label segment. While this may result in lower yields, it could also lead to improved credit quality and lower charge-offs, potentially enhancing long-term stability. The company's proactive stance on potential regulatory changes shows adaptability, a important trait in the evolving financial services landscape.

Second Quarter 2024 Total operating revenue growth of 8.6% over prior year, with 3.6 million accounts served (1), allowing for continued strong results

ATLANTA, Aug. 08, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Atlanticus Holdings Corporation (NASDAQ: ATLC) (Atlanticus, the Company, we, our or us), a financial technology company that enables its bank, retail and healthcare partners to offer more inclusive financial services to millions of everyday Americans, today announced its financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2024.

Management Commentary

Jeff Howard, President and Chief Executive Officer at Atlanticus stated, “We continue to be pleased with over fifty consecutive quarters of year over year growth in revenue, managed receivables and serviced accounts. Even as consumer spending has moderated and we have prudently tightened credit, we have been able to achieve double digit receivables growth, record quarterly purchase volume, and attractive returns on our shareholders' capital.

“A highlight of the quarter was the announcement of our partnership with Synchrony. This partnership aligns us with the largest provider of credit at point of sale. Through this deeper partnership and technology integration, our platform will be available to the thousands of merchant partners served by Synchrony and access, over time, to millions of declined applications annually. This partnership was the result of an extensive diligence process and served to highlight our best-in-class technology, collaborative approach to partnership, and analytics-led flexibility upon which we have built our Fortiva brand. This is but one indication of the opportunities we see in the second look point of sale market. As prime providers continue to pull back and newer entrants vacate this market, we see meaningful opportunities for continued long term growth. One illustration of that opportunity is the record purchase volume we experienced during the second quarter in our retail credit business and expectation for continued substantial purchase volume increases for the remainder of year.

“We also continued to execute on our mitigation strategies in anticipation of a potential change in the allowable late fee. While the new rule issued by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau continues to be litigated, we are positioning our portfolio and receivables originations for that eventuality. These product, policy and pricing changes are realized over time and we have undertaken changes on the majority of our back book and new originations. We believe that these actions will fully offset the economic impact of the new late fee rule if implemented.

“We continue to be pleased with the stability the consumers we serve are exhibiting. Performance within our various product lines has shown resiliency as everyday Americans have benefited from increases in wages in excess of inflation for several quarters.”

Managed Receivables

Managed receivables increased 11.1% to $2.4 billion with over $241.1 million in net receivables growth from June 30, 2023, driven by growth both in the private label credit and general purpose credit card products offered by our bank partners. Total accounts served increased 8.4% to 3.6 million. New large private label credit retail partners and ongoing purchases by customers of our existing retail partners helped grow our private label credit receivables by $121.1 million in the twelve months ended June 30, 2024. Our general purpose credit card receivables grew by $120.2 million during the twelve months ended June 30, 2024. While some of our merchant partners continue to face year-over-year growth challenges, others are benefiting from continued consumer spending and a growing economy. Our general purpose credit card portfolio continues to grow in terms of total customers served and therefore we continue to experience growth in total managed receivables. We expect continued growth in our managed receivables when compared to prior periods in 2023.

Total Operating Revenue

Total operating revenue 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) ancillary, interchange and servicing income on loan portfolios. 

We are currently experiencing continued period-over-period growth in private label credit and general purpose credit card receivables and to a lesser extent in our CAR receivables—growth that we expect to result in net period-over-period growth in our total interest income and related fees for these operations for 2024. Future periods’ growth is also 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 June 30, 2024, total operating revenue increased 8.6% to $315.6 million. General purpose credit card receivables tend to have higher total yields than private label credit receivables (and corresponding higher charge off rates). As a result, in periods where we have declines in rates of growth of these receivables, as was noted in the first quarter of 2024, we expect to have slightly lower total managed yield ratios. We expect increases in the acquisition of receivables, and correspondingly higher period-over-period operating revenue for the remainder of 2024. This growth includes an expected shift in our mix of acquired private label receivables to higher FICO receivables that have lower gross yields (and correspondingly lower charge-off expectations) which may result in marginally lower managed yield ratios when compared to the corresponding periods in 2023.

Interest Expense

Interest expense was $37.9 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2024, compared to $24.2 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2023. The higher expenses were primarily driven by the increases in outstanding debt in proportion to growth in our receivables coupled with increases in the cost of borrowing.

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 $1,816.8 million as of June 30, 2024 from $1,595.8 million as of June 30, 2023. The majority of this increase in outstanding debt relates to the addition of multiple revolving credit facilities during 2023. Recent increases in the effective interest rates on debt have increased our interest expense as we have raised additional capital (or replaced existing facilities) over the last two years. We anticipate additional debt financing over the next few quarters as we continue to grow coupled with increased effective interest rates. As such, we expect our quarterly interest expense for these operations to increase compared to prior periods.

Changes in Fair Value of Loans

Changes in fair value of loans, interest and fees receivable recorded at fair value increased to $186.3 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2024, respectively, compared to $177.8 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2023, respectively. This increase was largely driven by growth in underlying receivables as well as changes in assumptions due to recent rules enacted by the CFPB, which, if implemented, would limit the late fee charged to consumers in most instances.

We include asset performance degradation in our forecasts to reflect 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, some expected degradation has been removed in recent periods. Additionally, as receivables associated with both 1) assets acquired prior to our tightened underwriting standards (mentioned above) and 2) those assets negatively impacted by inflation, gradually become a smaller percentage of the 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 8.9% in the quarter when compared to the same period in 2023, driven primarily by increases in variable servicing costs associated with growth in our receivables and costs associated with the implementation of product, policy and pricing changes discussed above. In addition, we experienced growth in both the number of employees and inflationary compensation pressure.

We expect some continued increase in both servicing costs and salaries and benefits in 2024 compared to corresponding periods in 2023 as we expect our receivables to continue to grow.

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.

In addition, as we continue to adjust our underwriting standards to reflect changes in fee and finance assumptions on new receivables, we expect period over period marketing costs for 2024 to increase relative to those experienced in 2023, particularly towards the third and fourth quarters of 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.

Net Income Attributable to Common Shareholders

Net income attributable to common shareholders decreased 4.4% to $18.0 million, or $0.99 per diluted share for the quarter ended June 30, 2024.

Share Repurchases

We repurchased and retired 49,203 shares of our common stock at an aggregate cost of $1.3 million, in the quarter ended June 30, 2024.

We will continue to evaluate the best use of our capital to increase shareholder value over time.

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:

(1) The fair value mark against receivables reflects the difference between the face value of a receivable and the net present value of the expected cash flows associated with that receivable.

(2) Total managed receivables is equal to the aggregate unpaid gross balance of loans at fair value.

(3) The Fair value to Total managed receivables ratio is calculated using Loans at fair value as the numerator, and Total managed receivables as the denominator.
