Second Quarter Results:

Revenue for the second quarter increased 6.7% to $15.7 million compared to $14.7 million for the same period in 2012, driven primarily by growth in lease revenue and rental income during the quarter. Revenue from leases was $10.4 million, up $0.4 million from the same period last year and rental income was $2.7 million, up $0.3 million as compared to the second quarter in 2012. Other revenue components contributed $2.6 million for the current quarter, up $0.3 million from the same period last year.

Total operating expenses for the current quarter increased 12.2% to $11.6 million from $10.3 million in the second quarter of 2012. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $0.8 million to $4.8 million due to increases in compensation related expenses due to increased headcount, increases in bank servicing fees and legal expenses. Headcount at June 30, 2013 was 156 as compared to 139 at the same date last year. The second quarter 2013 provision for credit

losses increased to $4.7 million from $4.5 million for the same period in 2012 primarily to cover an increase in accounts greater than 90 days delinquent. During the second quarter, net charge-offs decreased to $3.9 million from $4.4 million in the same period in 2012. Depreciation and amortization expense increased $0.2 million to $1.3 million for the quarter due to an increase in the number of rental and service contracts currently being depreciated.

Cash received from customers in the second quarter increased 9.0% to $32.8 million compared to $30.1 million during the same period in 2012. New lease originations in the quarter remained flat at $23.9 million as compared to the same period last year.

Richard Latour, President and Chief Executive Officer said, “We are pleased with our continued improvement in our overall financial performance. Although originations in the second quarter were flat year over year, we did see an increase of 19% quarter over quarter. We also had increases of 7.0% and 13.1% in the number of applications and leases over the same period last year. The primary reason for the flat originations year over year was due to our continued focus on micro-ticket products which resulted in a decline in our average funded amount from approximately $5,500 in the second quarter of 2012 to $4,900 in the second quarter of 2013. In addition, we realized increases in revenues and cash receipts over the same period last year along with lower net charge-offs. Lastly, we signed up 289 new vendors for the quarter.”

Year to Date Highlights:

 

   

Net income was $4.7 million or $0.32 per diluted share, unchanged from last year;

 

   

Cash received from customers was $63.9 million or $4.32 per diluted share which represents an increase of 7.8% as compared to the same period last year;

 

   

Revenue increased by 7.0% to $31.0 million as compared to the same period last year; and

 

   

Net charge-offs declined 15.7% to $8.1 million as compared to $9.6 million in the same period last year.
