Jay Levine, president and CEO of Springleaf said, “Springleaf’s core consumer operations generated solid profits in the quarter, driven by strong organic growth in branch consumer receivables and expansion in risk adjusted yield, both reflecting the strength of the Springleaf franchise.  The SpringCastle portfolio, which we purchased earlier in the year from HSBC, added to our earnings in the quarter, and in September we successfully on-boarded the servicing of over 400,000 loans in the SpringCastle portfolio, which will add a meaningful level of fee-based revenue going forward.”

Levine added, “We continue to place great emphasis on our funding profile, and we’re very pleased with the successful execution on recent capital markets activity, which has driven our funding costs lower.  We believe Springleaf is well-positioned to continue to achieve profitable growth in our consumer finance business and to take advantage of portfolio acquisition opportunities over time, both of which we expect will drive long-term value for our shareholders.”

Core Operating Results: (Reported on a historical accounting basis, which is a non-GAAP measure.  Refer to the reconciliation of non-GAAP to comparable GAAP measures, below.)

Branch Operations

Consumer and Insurance pre-tax income of $42 million in the quarter was up $5 million, or 14%, from the prior year quarter, but down from $78 million from the prior quarter, primarily from a gain on sale of charged off accounts in June 2013.

Net finance receivables reached $3.0 billion at September 30, 2013, an increase of 19% from September 30, 2012 and 6% from June 30, 2013, driven by the company’s heightened focus on increasing personal loan originations through its branch network.

Net interest income for the quarter of $150 million increased 32% from the prior year quarter, driven by 18% growth in average net finance receivables and yield expansion of 171 basis points to 25.92% in the current quarter.  Net interest income increased 12% as compared to the prior quarter.  Yield benefited from the change in the state-by-state mix of loan originations, in addition to greater focus on risk-based pricing.

Other revenue, including investment income earned by our insurance companies, was $47 million, up 11% from the prior year quarter, due to increased origination volumes.  Other revenue was down modestly from the prior quarter principally due to a decline in investment income as a result of dividends paid to the parent company.

Operating expenses were $100 million in the quarter, up $14 million, or 16%, from the prior year quarter, reflecting a $14.5 million reversal of legal accruals in the prior year’s quarter as

the company achieved a favorable resolution of a long-standing legal action.  Segment operating expenses were up modestly from the prior quarter.

The delinquency ratio was 2.32% at September 30, 2013, a decrease of 43 basis points from September 30, 2012, and an increase of 40 basis points from June 30, 2013.  The annualized net charge-off ratio was 4.03% in the quarter, an increase of 115 basis points from the prior year quarter and 86 basis points from the prior quarter.  The net charge-off ratio in the quarter was adversely affected by lower recoveries as the company sold a significant portion of previously charged-off accounts in June 2013.

Acquisitions and Servicing (Results reflect the acquisition of the $3.9 billion SpringCastle portfolio in April 2013, and the initiation of servicing activities in September 2013.)

After elimination of earnings attributable to the non-controlling interests, our portion of the SpringCastle portfolio and related servicing contributed $28 million to our consolidated pretax income in the quarter.

Our Acquisitions and Servicing segment generated pre-tax income of $58 million in the quarter, with net interest income of $141 million driven by average receivables of $2.7 billion and yield of 23.78%.  Actual net finance receivables at September 30, 2013 were also $2.7 billion, down from $2.8 billion at June 30, 2013.  Unpaid principal balance of the portfolio was $3.5 billion at September 30, 2013 versus $3.6 billion at June 30 2013.

The delinquency ratio for the SpringCastle portfolio was 7.45% at September 30, 2013 while the annualized net charge-off ratio was 8.59% for the quarter.

Legacy Real Estate and Other Non-Core

The Legacy Real Estate and Other Non-Core activities generated a pretax loss of $179 million in the quarter.  Of the $179 million, $44 million was attributable to the legacy real estate portfolio and $135 million to the other non-core portfolio, which includes $131 million of non-cash compensation expenses associated with our IPO.

Net finance receivables in the Legacy Real Estate portfolio were $9.6 billion at September 30, 2013, a reduction of $1.2 billion from September 30, 2012 and $307 million from June 30, 2013, reflecting continued liquidation of the portfolio.

The delinquency ratio of the Legacy Real Estate Portfolio was 7.74% at September 30, 2013, an increase of 9 basis points from September 30, 2012, and up 27 basis points from June 30, 2013, while the loss ratio of 2.07% in the quarter improved 29 basis points from the prior year quarter and 26 basis points from the prior quarter.

Net finance receivables in the Other Non-Core component were $198 million at September 30, 2013, a reduction of $207 million from $405 million at September 30, 2012 and a reduction of $46 million from June 30, 2013.

Total other revenues for the Legacy Real Estate Portfolio declined by $13 million from the prior year quarter with favorable variances in write-downs and gain (loss) on sales of real estate owned more than offset by a higher net loss on debt repurchase/repayment activity.

Segment operating expenses of $22 million for the Legacy Real Estate Portfolio were essentially unchanged from the prior year quarter and the prior quarter.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of September 30, 2013, the company had $1.2 billion of cash and cash equivalents, in addition to $650 million available undrawn revolving loan capacity.  The company had total outstanding debt of $14.0 billion at September 30, 2013, in a variety of debt instruments principally including $5.2 billion unsecured debt, $4.0 billion in mortgage securitizations,  $3.6 billion in consumer loan securitizations and $1.3 billion of secured term loan.
