"We are pleased to deliver another quarter of robust growth. We continued to see strong demand and stable credit across our six growth businesses," said David Fisher, Enova's CEO. "Our focused growth strategy, scalable online model, diversified product offering and efficient marketing position us well to achieve sustainable and profitable growth. Based on the strong tailwinds in our business, we are raising our full year guidance and anticipate the considerable momentum we are seeing will continue in 2019."

Third Quarter 2018 Summary

  • Total revenue of $294 million in the third quarter of 2018 increased 35% from $218 million in the third quarter of 2017.
  • Gross profit margin was 44.3% in the third quarter of 2018, compared to 50.7% in the third quarter of 2017.
  • Net income was $15 million, or $0.43 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2018, compared to a net loss of $3 million, or a loss of $0.10 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2017.
  • Third quarter 2018 adjusted EBITDA of $44 million, a non-GAAP measure, increased from $34 million in the third quarter of 2017.
  • Adjusted earnings of $16 million, or $0.46 per diluted share, a non-GAAP measure, in the third quarter of 2018 increased from adjusted earnings of $9 million, or $0.25 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2017.

"Our business model and execution allow us to continue to meet demand that exceeds our expectations while delivering strong top and bottom line results that are within or exceed our guidance ranges," said Steve Cunningham, CFO of Enova. "Our results were further enhanced by the strengthening of our balance sheet during the third quarter. This year we have raised $885 million in funding from diverse sources at competitive costs, resulting in our lowest public company quarterly cost of funds ever, despite increases in market rates. Our solid balance sheet gives us the financial flexibility to execute on our strategic growth plans and further support our competitive position."

Enova ended the third quarter of 2018 with unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of $164 million. As of September 30, 2018, the company had total debt outstanding of $951 million, which included $226 million outstanding under Enova's $445 million securitization facilities. During the third quarter, Enova generated $172 million of cash flow from operations.

Outlook

For the fourth quarter of 2018, Enova expects total revenue of $290 million to $310 million, GAAP results of $0.17 diluted earnings per share to $0.38 diluted earnings per share, adjusted EBITDA of $43 million to $53 million, and adjusted earnings per share of $0.40 to $0.61. For the full year 2018, Enova now expects total revenue of $1.091 billion to $1.111 billion, GAAP diluted earnings per share of $1.92 to $2.13, adjusted EBITDA of $205 million to $215 million, and adjusted earnings per share of $2.46 to $2.67.

Cautionary Statement Concerning Forward Looking Statements

This release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 about the business, financial condition and prospects of Enova. These forward-looking statements give current expectations or forecasts of future events and reflect the views and assumptions of Enova's senior management with respect to the business, financial condition and prospects of Enova as of the date of this release and are not guarantees of future performance. The actual results of Enova could differ materially from those indicated by such forward-looking statements because of various risks and uncertainties applicable to Enova's business, including, without limitation, those risks and uncertainties indicated in Enova's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), including our annual report on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Forms 10-Q and current reports on Forms 8-K. These risks and uncertainties are beyond the ability of Enova to control, and, in many cases, Enova cannot predict all of the risks and uncertainties that could cause its actual results to differ materially from those indicated by the forward-looking statements. When used in this release, the words "believes," "estimates," "plans," "expects," "anticipates" and similar expressions or variations as they relate to Enova or its management are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Enova cautions you not to put undue reliance on these statements. Enova disclaims any intention or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements after the date of this release.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to the financial information prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, Enova provides historical non-GAAP financial information. Management believes that presentation of non-GAAP financial information is meaningful and useful in understanding the activities and business metrics of Enova's operations. Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures reflect an additional way of viewing aspects of Enova's business that, when viewed with its GAAP results, provide a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting its business.

Management provides non-GAAP financial information for informational purposes and to enhance understanding of Enova's GAAP consolidated financial statements. Readers should consider the information in addition to, but not instead of or superior to, Enova's financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. This non-GAAP financial information may be determined or calculated differently by other companies, limiting the usefulness of those measures for comparative purposes.

Combined Loans and Finance Receivables

Enova has provided combined loans and finance receivables, which is a non-GAAP measure. Enova also reports allowances and liabilities for estimated losses on loans and finance receivables individually and on a combined basis, which are GAAP measures that are included in Enova's financial statements. Management believes these measures provide investors with important information needed to evaluate the magnitude of potential cost of revenue and the opportunity for revenue performance of the loan and finance receivables portfolio on an aggregate basis. Management believes that the comparison of the aggregate amounts from period to period is more meaningful than comparing only the residual amount on Enova's balance sheet since both revenue and the cost of revenue for loans and finance receivables are impacted by the aggregate amount of loans and finance receivables owned by Enova and those guaranteed by Enova as reflected in its financial statements.

Adjusted Earnings and Adjusted Earnings Per Share

In addition to reporting financial results in accordance with GAAP, Enova has provided adjusted earnings and adjusted earnings per share, or, collectively, the Adjusted Earnings Measures, which are non-GAAP measures. Management believes that the presentation of these measures provides investors with greater transparency and facilitates comparison of operating results across a broad spectrum of companies with varying capital structures, compensation strategies, derivative instruments and amortization methods, which provides a more complete understanding of Enova's financial performance, competitive position and prospects for the future. Management also believes that investors regularly rely on non-GAAP financial measures, such as the Adjusted Earnings Measures, to assess operating performance and that such measures may highlight trends in Enova's business that may not otherwise be apparent when relying on financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. In addition, management believes that the adjustments shown below are useful to investors in order to allow them to compare Enova's financial results during the periods shown without the effect of certain expense items.

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure that Enova defines as earnings excluding depreciation, amortization, interest, foreign currency transaction gains or losses, taxes, stock-based compensation, loss on early extinguishment of debt and acquisition related costs, and Adjusted EBITDA margin is a non-GAAP measure that Enova defines as Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of total revenue. Management believes Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin are used by investors to analyze operating performance and evaluate Enova's ability to incur and service debt and Enova's capacity for making capital expenditures. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin are also useful to investors to help assess Enova's estimated enterprise value. The computation of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin as presented below may differ from the computation of similarly-titled measures provided by other companies.
