    • Interest and fee income decreased $0.9 million, or 1.1%, primarily due to the intended product mix shift toward large loans and the portfolio composition shift toward higher credit quality customers with slightly lower interest rates due to enhanced credit standards during the pandemic.
    • Insurance income, net increased $1.3 million, or 20.4%, driven by an increase in premium revenue and a decrease in non-file insurance claims expense.
    • Other income decreased $0.9 million, or 25.7%, driven by lower late fees on low delinquency levels.
  • Provision for credit losses for the fourth quarter of 2020 was $24.7 million, a decrease of $1.3 million, or 5.1%, from the prior-year period. The provision for credit losses included a release in the allowance for credit losses of $1.5 million related to the expected economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and a $7.5 million incremental build in reserves related to portfolio growth.
    • Allowance for credit losses was $150.0 million as of December 31, 2020, including a $30.4 million allowance for credit losses associated with COVID-19. The company’s macroeconomic model assumes an unemployment rate of 9% at the end of 2021.

  • In December 2020, 2.2% of customer accounts were renewed or deferred under internal borrower assistance programs, which is comparable to the average over the 12 months preceding the pandemic.
  • General and administrative expenses for the fourth quarter of 2020 were $44.8 million, an increase of $3.9 million, or 9.5%, from the prior-year period, primarily driven by investment in digital capabilities and increased marketing to support the company’s growth initiatives.
  • The operating expense ratio (annualized general and administrative expenses as a percentage of average net finance receivables) for the fourth quarter of 2020 was 16.4%, an increase of 150 basis points compared to the prior-year period.
  • As of December 31, 2020, the company had total unused capacity on its revolving credit facilities of $438 million, subject to the borrowing base, and available liquidity of $194 million, including unrestricted cash on hand and immediate availability to draw down cash from its revolving credit facilities.
  • For the fourth quarter of 2020, the company repurchased 435,116 shares of its common stock at a weighted-average price of $27.58 per share under the company’s $30 million stock repurchase program.
  • Subsequent to the fourth quarter of 2020, the company priced an approximate $250 million securitization at a record-low weighted-average coupon of 2.08%. Proceeds from the securitization will be used to retire the company’s RMIT 2018-2 securitization, which had a weighted average coupon of 4.87%, thus reducing the company’s cost of capital. The securitization is expected to close on or around February 18, 2021, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions.
  • Subsequent to the fourth quarter of 2020, the company also amended its ABL facility to provide an additional $20 million of flexibility to return capital to shareholders in the future, whether through dividends or share repurchases.

Forward-Looking Statements

This press release may contain various “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements are not statements of historical fact but instead represent Regional Management Corp.’s expectations or beliefs concerning future events. Forward-looking statements include, without limitation, statements concerning future plans, objectives, goals, projections, strategies, events, or performance, and underlying assumptions and other statements related thereto. Words such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “likely,” “anticipates,” “expects,” “intends,” “plans,” “projects,” “believes,” “estimates,” “outlook,” and similar expressions may be used to identify these forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements speak only as of the date on which they were made and are about matters that are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties, many of which are outside of the control of Regional Management. As a result, actual performance and results may differ materially from those contemplated by these forward-looking statements. Therefore, investors should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements.

Factors that could cause actual results or performance to differ from the expectations expressed or implied in forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, the following: changes in general economic conditions, including levels of unemployment and bankruptcies; the impact of the recent outbreak of a novel coronavirus (COVID-19), including on Regional Management’s access to liquidity and the credit risk of Regional Management’s finance receivable portfolio; risks associated with Regional Management’s ability to timely and effectively implement, transition to, and maintain the necessary information technology systems, infrastructure, processes, and controls to support its operations and initiatives; risks associated with Regional Management’s loan origination and servicing software system, including the risk of prolonged system outages; risks related to opening new branches, including the ability or inability to open new branches as planned; risks inherent in making loans, including credit risk, repayment risk, and value of collateral, which risks may increase in light of adverse or recessionary economic conditions; risks associated with the implementation of new underwriting models and processes, including as to the effectiveness of new custom scorecards; risks relating to Regional Management’s asset-backed securitization transactions; changes in interest rates; the risk that Regional Management’s existing sources of liquidity become insufficient to satisfy its needs or that its access to these sources becomes unexpectedly restricted; changes in federal, state, or local laws, regulations, or regulatory policies and practices, and risks associated with the manner in which laws and regulations are interpreted, implemented, and enforced; changes in accounting standards, rules, and interpretations, and the failure of related assumptions and estimates, including those associated with the implementation of current expected credit loss (CECL) accounting; the impact of changes in tax laws, guidance, and interpretations; the timing and amount of revenues that may be recognized by Regional Management; changes in current revenue and expense trends (including trends affecting delinquencies and credit losses); changes in Regional Management’s markets and general changes in the economy (particularly in the markets served by Regional Management); changes in the competitive environment in which Regional Management operates or a decrease in the demand for its products; the timing and amount of future cash dividend payments; risks related to acquisitions; changes in operating and administrative expenses; and the departure, transition, or replacement of key personnel. The COVID-19 pandemic may also magnify many of these risks and uncertainties.

The foregoing factors and others are discussed in greater detail in Regional Management’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Regional Management will not update or revise forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this press release or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events or the non-occurrence of anticipated events, whether as a result of new information, future developments, or otherwise, except as required by law.

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 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.

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.
