Financial Analyst

Regional Management Corp.'s Q2 2024 results demonstrate solid financial performance and strategic growth. The company reported $8.4 million in net income, translating to a diluted EPS of $0.86, a 37% increase year-over-year. This growth is primarily driven by a 5% increase in net receivables and an 80 basis point improvement in total revenue yield.

Key highlights include:

• Net finance receivables grew to $1.8 billion, up 5.0% year-over-year
• Total revenue increased by 7.1% to $143.0 million
• Interest and fee yield improved by 110 basis points
• 30+ day contractual delinquency rate remained stable at 6.9%
• Operating expense ratio was contained at 13.8%

The company's strategic focus on small loans and higher APR products is paying off, with small loan net finance receivables growing by 13.7% year-over-year. This shift in portfolio composition, along with improved pricing and credit performance, has contributed to the yield improvement.

While the provision for credit losses increased slightly, the net credit loss rate improved by 40 basis points year-over-year, indicating better overall credit quality. The company's liquidity position remains strong, with $564 million in unused capacity on its revolving credit facilities.

Overall, Regional Management Corp. appears well-positioned to navigate the current economic environment, with a focus on controlled growth and credit quality management. The declared dividend of $0.30 per share for Q3 2024 further underscores the company's financial stability and commitment to shareholder returns.

Credit Risk Analyst

From a credit risk perspective, Regional Management Corp.'s Q2 2024 results present a mixed but generally positive picture. The 6.9% 30+ day contractual delinquency rate, while stable year-over-year, shows a 20 basis point improvement sequentially. This suggests that the company's credit risk management strategies are effective in the face of ongoing inflationary pressures.

The 40 basis point improvement in the annualized net credit loss rate (now at 12.7%) is particularly noteworthy. This improvement comes despite the expansion of the higher-risk small loan portfolio, which typically carries higher delinquency and loss rates. The company's ability to reduce overall credit losses while growing this segment indicates strong underwriting and collection practices.

However, investors should note that the allowance for credit losses, at 10.5% of net finance receivables, has decreased by 20 basis points sequentially. While this reflects improved portfolio quality and expectations of better macroeconomic conditions, it also slightly reduces the buffer against potential future losses.

The growth in loans with APRs above 36% (now 17.2% of the portfolio, up from 13.9%) warrants attention. While these higher-rate loans can boost profitability, they also typically come with increased credit risk. The company's ability to manage this risk will be important for maintaining credit quality as this segment grows.

Overall, the credit risk profile appears manageable, with the company demonstrating its ability to balance growth in higher-margin products with prudent risk management. However, continued vigilance will be necessary, particularly if economic conditions deteriorate.

Market Research Analyst

Regional Management Corp.'s Q2 2024 results reflect a strategic positioning that's paying off in the current market environment. The company's focus on small loans and higher APR products is a savvy move, capitalizing on a segment of the market that larger lenders often overlook.

The 13.7% year-over-year growth in small loan net finance receivables, now comprising 28.5% of the total portfolio, indicates strong demand in this segment. This shift towards smaller, higher-yield loans is likely driven by consumers seeking alternatives to traditional bank loans in a tight credit environment.

The increase in loans with APRs above 36%, now at 17.2% of the portfolio, suggests that Regional Management is successfully targeting a higher-risk, higher-reward market segment. This strategy appears to be working, as evidenced by the 110 basis point improvement in interest and fee yield.

The company's controlled growth approach, with total loan originations up 6.8% year-over-year, demonstrates a balance between expansion and risk management. This cautious stance is prudent given the uncertain economic outlook and ongoing inflationary pressures.

Regional Management's performance relative to the broader consumer finance sector is strong. The 7.1% revenue growth and 37% increase in diluted EPS outpace many competitors, indicating effective execution of its niche strategy.

Looking ahead, the company's plans to open ten new branch locations and expand its auto-secured loan portfolio suggest confidence in its growth trajectory. However, the success of this expansion will depend on maintaining credit quality while penetrating new markets.

GREENVILLE, S.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Regional Management Corp. (NYSE: RM), a diversified consumer finance company, today announced results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2024.

“We are very pleased with our quarterly and year-to-date results,” said Robert W. Beck, President and Chief Executive Officer of Regional Management Corp. “We delivered $8.4 million of net income in the second quarter, or $0.86 of diluted EPS. We grew our portfolio by $29 million sequentially to $1.8 billion in the quarter, up 5.0% from the prior year. Our interest and fee yield increased 110 basis points year-over-year from a combination of increased pricing, growth of our higher-margin small loan portfolio, and improved credit performance. Our larger portfolio and stronger yield combined to drive total revenue to $143 million in the second quarter, up 7% from last year. At the same time, we have maintained a tight grip on G&A expense while still investing in our growth and strategic initiatives. Together, these strong line item outcomes drove net income up 40% compared to the second quarter of last year.”

“Along with our strong first half results, we continue to carefully manage our portfolio’s credit quality and performance,” added Mr. Beck. “Our 30+ day delinquency rate remained stable at 6.9% at the end of the quarter, 20 basis points better sequentially. Our net credit loss rate improved 40 basis points from the prior year, as the front book continues to perform in line with our expectations and makes up a larger portion of our total portfolio. We grew our small loan portfolio by $61 million, or 14%, year-over-year, representing more than 70% of our total portfolio growth over the past year. Our portfolio of loans with greater than 36% APR grew from 14% to 17% of the total portfolio over that same time period. While these portfolios naturally come with higher delinquencies and credit losses, it is an excellent trade given the stronger margins and bottom-line returns that the portfolios generate.”

“We had a very successful first half of 2024, posting strong top- and bottom-line results despite the continued impacts of inflation on credit performance,” continued Mr. Beck. “We remain well-positioned to operate effectively through the current economic cycle. As we expect credit losses to improve in the second half of the year, we are excited to begin increasing our investment in our strategic initiatives and portfolio growth, including through the opening of ten new branch locations before year-end and continued expansion of our higher-margin and auto-secured loan portfolios. We look forward to continuing to deliver strong returns to our shareholders while also investing in the business in a way that will enable us to achieve additional, sustainable growth, improved credit performance, and greater productivity, operating efficiency, and leverage over the long-term.”

• Total revenue for the second quarter of 2024 was $143.0 million, an increase of $9.5 million, or 7.1%, from the prior-year period, primarily due to an increase in interest and fee income of $9.8 million related to higher average net finance receivables and 110 basis points of higher interest and fee yield compared to the prior-year period.
  • The increase in interest and fee yield is attributable to increased pricing, growth of the higher-margin small loan portfolio, and improved credit performance.
  • Total revenue yield increased 80 basis points year-over-year, 30 basis points lower than the increase in interest and fee yield due to lower insurance revenues.

• Provision for credit losses for the second quarter of 2024 was $53.8 million, an increase of $1.3 million, or 2.4%, from the prior-year period, due to higher net credit losses from higher average net receivables ($0.6 million) and a lower provision release compared to the prior-year period ($0.7 million).

  • Allowance for credit losses was $185.4 million as of June 30, 2024, or 10.5% of net finance receivables, a 20 basis point decrease sequentially from 10.7% due to improved portfolio credit quality and expectations for improving future macroeconomic conditions.

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.

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.
