  • Total finance receivables as of June 30, 2015 were $572.5 million, an increase of 10.5% from the prior-year period.
  • Total second quarter of 2015 revenue was $53.0 million, an 11.7% increase from the prior-year period.
  • Total delinquencies as a percentage of total finance receivables as of June 30, 2015 were 20.6%, compared to 23.6% as of June 30, 2014 and 19.2% as of March 31, 2015.
  • Net charge-offs were $12.9 million for the second quarter of 2015, or 9.4% of average finance receivables, improving from 10.5% in the prior-year period. The related provision for credit losses for the second quarter of 2015 was $12.1 million, or 22.8% of revenue, a decline from 28.7% in the prior-year period.
  • Regional Management opened 10 new branches in the second quarter of 2015. As of June 30, 2015, Regional Management's branch network consisted of 316 locations.

"We are gratified that all of our efforts toward improving the operational performance of the business helped produce improved results in the second quarter," said Michael R. Dunn, Chief Executive Officer of Regional Management Corp. "We had a strong quarter in receivable growth driven by improved marketing initiatives and in-branch activity. Large loans, which we continue to believe will be a strong driver of our future growth, increased 47% on a sequential basis and 117% from the prior-year period. Branch small loans and convenience checks, which have always been important to the company, also generated solid double-digit growth from the prior-year period. The strong receivable performance led to revenue growth of 11.7% compared to the prior-year period and 1.0% compared to the first quarter of 2015."

"Total delinquency at the end of the quarter was 20.6%, down from 23.6% in the prior-year period, and up 1.4% from our record low first quarter of 2015," continued Mr. Dunn. "This level of delinquency is a return to a more normalized profile for the business. We also continued to make progress on achieving operational efficiencies. Total expenses in our branches were $17.1 million, up $1.6 million compared to the prior-year period, but importantly down $2.3 million from the first quarter of 2015, driven primarily by a reduction in our existing branch staffing of 130 people since the end of 2014. Moving forward, our focus remains on growing our core small and large loan portfolios, while maintaining more normalized levels of delinquencies and continuing to focus on our expense structure. Overall, we believe we have solidly positioned ourselves for future consistent top and bottom line growth, and I am proud of the entire Regional Management team for their hard work and dedication in getting us back on track in a short period of time."

Second Quarter 2015 Results

Finance receivables outstanding at June 30, 2015 were $572.5 million, a 10.5% increase from $518.0 million in the prior-year period. Finance receivables increased primarily due to enhanced efforts to increase originations of both small and large installment loans and the addition of 23 de novo branches since June 30, 2014.

For the second quarter ended June 30, 2015, Regional Management reported total revenue of $53.0 million, an 11.7% increase from $47.4 million in the prior-year period. Interest and fee income for the second quarter of 2015 was $47.7 million, an 11.0% increase from $43.0 million in the prior-year period, primarily due to a significant increase in the portfolios of both small and large installment loans compared to the prior-year period. Insurance income for the second quarter of 2015 was $3.1 million, a 25.8% increase from the prior-year period.

Provision for credit losses in the second quarter of 2015 was $12.1 million versus $13.6 million in the prior-year period. Net charge-offs of $12.9 million in the second quarter of 2015 exceeded the provision by $0.8 million as the Company released a portion of the allowance recorded in 2014 for convenience checks. Annualized net charge-offs as a percentage of average finance receivables for the second quarter of 2015 were 9.4%, an improvement from 10.5% in the prior-year period.

On a sequential basis, provision for credit losses increased 24.6%, reflecting the significant increase in small and large loan originations during the second quarter of 2015.

General and administrative expenses for the second quarter of 2015 were $28.2 million, an increase of $5.0 million, or 21.7%, from $23.2 million in the prior-year period. The increase was driven primarily by $1.6 million of additional branch expenses and $3.2 million of additional home office expenses. Branch expenses include changes in staffing and incentive plans for all branches, as well as the expenses associated with 23 branches added since June 30, 2014. The increase in home office expenses includes additional personnel, incentive plan changes and consulting fees.

Net income for the second quarter of 2015 was $5.4 million, a 22.5% increase compared to net income of $4.4 million in the prior-year period. Diluted earnings per share for the second quarter of 2015 were $0.41, an increase from $0.34 in the prior-year period.

Interest and fee income for the six months ended June 30, 2015 was $94.7 million, an 8.8% increase from $87.0 million in the prior-year period, primarily due to a significant increase in the portfolios of both small and large installment loans compared to the prior-year period.

Provision for credit losses for the six months ended June 30, 2015 was $21.8 million versus $30.6 million in the prior-year period.

The balance of the expense increase of $13.7 million was driven primarily by $6.5 million of additional branch expenses, $5.5 million of additional home office expenses and $1.7 million of additional marketing costs. Branch expenses include changes in staffing and incentive plans for all branches as well as the expenses associated with 52 branches added since December 31, 2013. The increase in home office expenses includes additional personnel, incentive plan changes, the write-off of GoldPoint software costs and legal and consulting fees.
