-   Net income of $8.7 million and diluted earnings per share of $0.90   -

-   30+ day contractual delinquencies of 7.2% as of March 31, 2023   -

-   Continued early indications of improved credit performance in the first quarter   -

GREENVILLE, S.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Regional Management Corp. (NYSE: RM), a diversified consumer finance company, today announced results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2023.

“We had a strong start to 2023, as our team skillfully navigated a challenging economic environment,” said Robert W. Beck, President and Chief Executive Officer of Regional Management Corp. “We earned $8.7 million of net income and $0.90 of diluted EPS in the first quarter by maintaining our focus on portfolio quality, expense management, and strong execution of our core business. Due to our conservative underwriting and first quarter seasonality, we liquidated our portfolio by $23 million in the quarter, intentionally slowing our year-over-year portfolio growth rate to 16%. In this macroeconomic environment, we continue to be comfortable trading loan growth for credit quality, but we are well-positioned to lean back into growth when warranted by the economic conditions and overall performance of our portfolio.”

“Our tightening actions over the past several quarters have improved our credit profile, which has benefited early-stage delinquencies,” added Mr. Beck. “We continued to see significant improvements in first payment default rates in the first quarter compared to the same period in 2019. In addition, the delinquency rate of accounts 1 to 59 days past due was 8.6% at the end of the first quarter, a 230 basis point improvement from year-end and 270 basis points better than the first quarter of 2019. Our 30+ day delinquency rate at the end of the first quarter was 7.2%, up 10 basis points from the end of the year and only 30 basis points, or 4%, higher than the first quarter of 2019. After adjusting for our fourth quarter non-performing loan sale, our first quarter 30+ day delinquency rate was 80 basis points better compared to year-end. We are encouraged by the green shoots that we are observing in our early delinquency buckets and the performance of our more recent loan vintages.”

“Looking ahead, we are optimistic that tightened underwriting, a declining inflation rate, and continued strength in the labor market, particularly for our customer base, will drive further credit improvement in our portfolio,” continued Mr. Beck. “We remain focused on strong execution of our core business, including originating high-quality loans within our tightened credit box, closely managing expenses, and maintaining a strong balance sheet. This straightforward approach allows us to concentrate our efforts on the key drivers of our results. At the same time, we are continuing to advance our long-term strategies of geographic expansion and key investments in technology, digital initiatives, and data and analytics. We expect to emerge from this economic cycle as a stronger company with a larger, higher-quality portfolio and improved operating efficiencies, well-positioned to deliver attractive returns to our shareholders.”

Adjusted 30+ day delinquency is a non-GAAP measure. Please refer to the reconciliations of non-GAAP measures to comparable GAAP measures included at the end of this press release.

• The company expanded its operations to the state of Arizona in March.

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 delinquency and adjusted delinquency rate 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.
