First Quarter 2012 Results

For the first quarter ended March 31, 2012, Regional Management reported total revenue of $31.5 million, a 27.7% increase from $24.7 million in the prior-year period. Interest and fee income revenue for the first quarter of 2012 was $26.9 million, a 27.6% increase from $21.0 million in the prior-year period, primarily due to a 33.3% year-over-year increase in finance receivables. Insurance and other income for the first quarter of 2012 was $4.7 million, a 28.4% increase from the prior-year period. Same-store revenue growth for the first quarter of 2012 was 11.2%.

Finance receivables outstanding at March 31, 2012 were $317.5 million, a 33.3% increase from $238.1 million in the prior-year period. Finance receivables increased primarily due to the addition of 48 branches – including the 19 net new branches acquired in January 2012 in Alabama – since March 31, 2011, through both de novo openings and acquisitions. Same-store loans receivable (stores open at least one year) grew 13.0%.

Provision for loan losses in the first quarter of 2012 was $5.6 million versus $3.8 million in the prior-year period, primarily due to the increase in loan volume. Net charge-offs as a percentage of average finance receivables for the first quarter of 2012 was 6.4%, consistent with the prior-year period.

General and administrative expenses for the first quarter of 2012 were $12.8 million, an increase of 25.3% from $10.2 million in the prior-year period, primarily due to increased personnel costs from opening and acquiring an additional 48 branches since March 31, 2011. During the first quarter of 2012, Regional Management opened and acquired a net 24 new branches. Regional Management’s efficiency ratio – the percentage of general and administrative expenses compared to total revenue – in the first quarter of 2012 was 40.6%, a decline of 80 basis points from 41.4% in the prior-year period.

GAAP net income for the first quarter of 2012 was $5.1 million, a 3.8% increase compared to net income of $4.9 million in the prior-year period, and diluted earnings per share for the first quarter of 2012 was $0.53 based on a diluted share count of 9.6 million. On a pro forma basis, excluding one-time IPO expenses and applying the proceeds from the IPO to reduce outstanding debt, net income for the first quarter of 2012 was $6.8 million, a 37.1% increase from the prior-year period, and diluted earnings per share was $0.53 based on a diluted share count of 12.7 million.
