Insights

Strong Q3 2024 results showcase robust growth with $351.0 million in total operating revenue, up 19.0% year-over-year. The company's managed receivables grew 14.6% to $2.7 billion, demonstrating solid market penetration. Notable is the 22.9% increase in net income attributable to common shareholders to $23.2 million, with diluted EPS of $1.27.

Key concerns include rising interest expenses, up 50.3% to $42.5 million, reflecting higher borrowing costs and increased debt levels. The $203.7 million change in fair value of loans indicates potential headwinds from CFPB regulations on late fees. However, the 21.0% return on equity demonstrates strong operational efficiency despite these challenges.

Portfolio quality metrics reveal strategic positioning in the consumer credit space. The expansion to 3.7 million accounts with 380,000 new additions shows strong market penetration while maintaining credit discipline. The $261.5 million growth in private label credit receivables, combined with $77.6 million in general purpose credit card growth, indicates a balanced approach to risk management.

The company's conservative credit posture and focus on everyday Americans experiencing real wage gains positions it well for sustainable growth. However, slightly elevated delinquency rates compared to pre-pandemic levels warrant monitoring, especially given the current economic environment.

Management Commentary

Jeff Howard, President and Chief Executive Officer at Atlanticus stated, “Consistent with prior quarters, we are pleased with our continued growth in revenue, managed receivables, and serviced accounts. Following several quarters of maintaining a conservative credit posture, we are proud of our consistent profitability with another quarter exceeding 20% return on equity.

“For several quarters, the everyday Americans we serve have experienced real wage gains as incomes have risen more than inflation. This has resulted in relatively stable consumer performance, albeit at slightly higher levels of delinquency than existed prior to the pandemic. This consistency allows us to pursue prudent growth across our platform.

“As we look forward, we are excited about the ongoing growth opportunities across our three primary product lines within our Credit as a Service segment. Each product line – general purpose credit card, point of sale of finance, and healthcare payments – represents substantial market opportunities. Our pipeline of new partners, new channels, and new offerings for each of these product lines positions us for an above-market rate of long-term growth.”

Managed Receivables

Managed receivables increased 14.6% to $2.7 billion with over $338.9 million in net receivables growth from September 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 5.9% to 3.7 million. Ongoing purchases by customers of our existing retail partners and new private label credit retail partners helped grow our private label credit receivables by $261.5 million in the twelve months ended September 30, 2024. Our general purpose credit card receivables grew by $77.6 million during the twelve months ended September 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 — 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 September 30, 2024, total operating revenue increased 19.0% to $351.0 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 general purpose credit card receivables, as was noted in 2024 (relative to growth in private label credit card receivables), we expect to have slightly lower total managed yield ratios. We currently 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 seasonal shift in our mix of acquired private label receivables to higher FICO receivables that have lower gross yields (and correspondingly lower charge-off expectations) in the third quarter each year, which may result in marginally lower managed yield ratios when compared to the corresponding periods in 2023.

Interest Expense

Interest expense was $42.5 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2024, compared to $28.3 million for the quarter ended September 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 $1,976.8 million as of September 30, 2024 from $1,719.7 million as of September 30, 2023. The majority of this increase in outstanding debt relates to the addition of multiple credit facilities in 2023 and 2024. 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 higher effective interest rates on new debt compared to rates on maturing debt. 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 $203.7 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2024, respectively, compared to $177.9 million for the quarter ended September 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 further limit the late fee charged to consumers in most instances.

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. Additionally, as receivables associated with both 1) assets acquired prior to our tightened underwriting standards 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 11.7% 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. In addition, we experienced growth in both the number of employees and inflationary compensation pressure. Certain other nonrecurring accounting and legal expenditures also contributed to increases for the quarter.

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, 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 increased 22.9% to $23.2 million, or $1.27 per diluted share for the quarter ended September 30, 2024.

Share Repurchases

We repurchased and retired 11,193 shares of our common stock at an aggregate cost of $0.3 million, in the quarter ended September 30, 2024.

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

Additional Information

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:

(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 are 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.
