Second Quarter 2017 Highlights

1

“We were pleased with our second quarter performance, driven once again by double-digit top-line and finance receivables growth and further improving credit trends,” said Peter R. Knitzer, President and Chief Executive Officer of Regional Management. “Our ongoing focus on our core small and large loan categories led us to generate a 14% year-over-year increase in interest and fee income. In addition, we continued to concentrate on stabilizing credit, and as a result, we managed to reduce our net credit losses a full 100 basis points from the first quarter and keep our 30+ day delinquency level flat.”

“In addition to our strong results, in June we announced that we had entered into a $125 million warehouse credit facility, expandable to $150 million, and further increased our committed line under our revolving credit facility to $638 million,” added Mr. Knitzer. “Finally, we successfully converted our branches in Oklahoma and South Carolina to our new operating platform, and we remain on schedule to have all states converted to the new platform by the end of 2017. Overall, we continue to make good progress with our growth strategy and the buildout of our infrastructure in order to deliver long-term shareholder value.”

Second Quarter 2017 Results

Finance receivables outstanding at June 30, 2017 were $726.8 million, a 12.5% increase from $645.7 million in the prior year. Finance receivables increased primarily due to an increase in both the core small and large loan portfolios and the addition of eight net new branches.

For the second quarter ended June 30, 2017, the Company reported total revenue of $65.3 million, a 14.0% increase from $57.3 million in the prior-year period. Interest and fee income for the second quarter of 2017 was $59.8 million, a 13.7% increase from $52.6 million in the prior-year period, primarily due to an increase in the portfolios of both small and large loans compared to the prior-year period. Insurance income, net for the second quarter of 2017 was $3.1 million, an increase of $0.5 million from the prior-year period primarily due to a transition in insurance carriers, causing some of the Company’s insurance claims to impact net credit losses instead of insurance income. Other income for the second quarter of 2017 was $2.5 million, a 15.5% increase from the prior-year period and consistent with portfolio growth.

The provision for credit losses in the second quarter of 2017 was $18.6 million, compared to $13.4 million in the prior-year period. The increase was primarily due to the $81.0 million increase in finance receivables, the temporary shift of $1.0 million in insurance claims expense, and a $1.0 million build in allowance for credit losses compared to a slight release in the second quarter of 2016.

Net credit losses were $17.6 million in the second quarter of 2017, compared to $13.4 million in the prior-year period, consistent with portfolio growth. Net credit losses for the second quarter of 2017 included $1.6 million of losses attributable to a temporary shift of certain insurance claims expense into net credit losses during a transition in the Company’s insurance provider. Annualized net credit losses as a percentage of average finance receivables in the second quarter of 2017 were 9.9% (inclusive of 0.9% attributable to the shift in insurance claims expense noted above), an increase from 8.6% in the prior-year period, but an improvement from 10.9% in the first quarter of 2017.

General and administrative expenses for the second quarter of 2017 were $31.6 million, an increase of 7.1%, or $2.1 million, from the prior-year period. General and administrative expenses for the second quarters of 2017 and 2016 included $0.3 million and $0.6 million of loan system conversion costs, respectively. Sequentially, general and administrative expenses increased $0.2 million, or 0.6%, from the first quarter of 2017 as increased marketing and personnel costs were mostly offset by a decrease in other expenses.

Net income for the second quarter of 2017 was $6.1 million, an increase from $5.9 million in the prior-year period. Diluted earnings per share for the second quarter of 2017 were $0.52, an increase from $0.49 in the prior-year period.

First Half 2017 Results

For the six months ended June 30, 2017, the Company reported total revenue of $131.2 million, a 15.0% increase from $114.0 million in the prior-year period. Interest and fee income for the six months ended June 30, 2017 was $119.0 million, a 14.6% increase from $103.9 million in the prior-year period, primarily due to an increase in the portfolios of both small and large installment loans compared to the prior-year period. Insurance income, net for the six months ended June 30, 2017 was $6.9 million, a 24.4% increase from the prior-year period, in part due to the temporary shift of certain claims expense into provision for credit losses during the Company’s transition to a new insurance provider. Other income for the six months ended June 30, 2017 was $5.2 million, a 13.8% increase from the prior-year period.

Net credit losses for the six months ended June 30, 2017 were $37.0 million, which includes $2.6 million of losses attributable to a temporary shift of certain insurance claims expense into net credit losses during a transition in the Company’s insurance provider, compared to $28.4 million in the prior-year period. Annualized net credit losses as a percentage of average finance receivables for the six months ended June 30, 2017 were 10.4% (inclusive of 0.7% attributable to the shift in insurance claims expense noted above), an increase from 9.1% in the prior-year period.

General and administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2017 were $63.1 million, an increase of $3.7 million, or 6.3%, from $59.4 million in the prior-year period.

Diluted earnings per share for the six months ended June 30, 2017 was $1.17 compared to $0.89 in the prior-year period.
