GREENVILLE, S.C., Feb. 07 /BusinessWire/ --
Regional Management Corp. (NYSE:RM), a diversified consumer finance company, today announced results for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2023.
"We took a series of actions in the fourth quarter to put the business back on a more normalized earnings trajectory for 2024, including strong first quarter profits," said Robert W. Beck, President and Chief Executive Officer of Regional Management Corp. "While the fourth quarter actions resulted in a net loss of $7.6 million, our results came in better than our outlook when excluding the impact of these actions. Our quarterly revenue once again reached record levels from a combination of high-quality loan growth and strong total revenue yields that have been supported by our repricing actions and growth in our higher-margin, small loan portfolio. We also continue to tightly control our G&A expenses and cost of funds, with the latter benefiting from our portfolio of fixed-rate debt."
"Our after-tax earnings were reduced by $12.6 million, or $1.34 per share, due to three discrete actions in the quarter," added Mr. Beck. "These actions included restructuring charges from branch consolidations and a roughly 10% corporate headcount reduction, a special loan sale that accelerated net credit losses and interest accrual reversals from first quarter 2024 to fourth quarter 2023, and a reserve build for the incremental stress in our back-book portfolio, which we expect to release against realized losses in 2024. While these actions were difficult, they were necessary to position the business for stronger results."
"As we kick off 2024, I am optimistic about our future for several reasons," continued Mr. Beck. "First, the economic outlook is improving, inflation continues to fall, real wages are growing for our customers, unemployment is below 4%, and there is an increasing likelihood of lower funding costs in the near future. Second, we have put the higher losses in our back-book portfolio behind us, and our front book continues to perform in line with our expectations. Third, we have positioned the business to lean into receivable growth as the economic environment normalizes. Having completed the fourth quarter actions, we are positioned for improved earnings in 2024 and a strong 2025 and beyond."
Fourth Quarter 2023 Highlights
Net loss for the fourth quarter of 2023 was $7.6 million and diluted loss per share was $0.80. The company took the following actions in the fourth quarter (collectively, "fourth quarter actions"), producing net loss of $12.6 million, or $1.34 per share.
Consolidated branches and reduced corporate headcount by approximately 10%, resulting in a $2.0 million restructuring charge.
Sold certain non-performing loans prior to normal charge-off at 180 days past due, which accelerated $13.9 million of net credit losses and $1.9 million of accrued interest reversals from first quarter 2024 to fourth quarter 2023, partially offset by a $10.8 million release from the allowance for credit losses associated with the sold loans.
Built $9.3 million of allowance for credit losses for additional stress on non-performing loans associated with the back-book portfolio.
Net finance receivables as of December 31, 2023 were $1.8 billion, an increase of $72.0 million, or 4.2%, from the prior-year period. Fourth quarter portfolio growth was impacted by the non-performing loan sale described above, which accelerated a total of $15.9 million of net credit losses and interest accrual reversals from the first quarter to the fourth quarter.
Large loan net finance receivables of $1.3 billion increased $66.0 million, or 5.5%, from the prior-year period and represented 71.9% of the total loan portfolio, compared to 71.1% in the prior-year period.
Small loan net finance receivables were $493.5 million, an increase of 2.5% from the prior-year period.
Total loan originations were $407.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2023, a decrease of $62.5 million, or 13.3%, from the prior-year period, due to controlled growth from credit-tightening actions.
Total revenue for the fourth quarter of 2023 was a record $141.7 million, an increase of $9.6 million, or 7.3%, from the prior-year period, primarily due to an increase in interest and fee income of $8.8 million related to higher average net finance receivables and 30 basis points of higher interest and fee yield compared to the prior-year period. The fourth quarter actions reduced total revenue by $1.9 million due to interest accrual reversals associated with loans sold in the non-performing loan sale described above. The fourth quarter of 2022 included a $2.2 million reduction to total revenue from the sale of non-performing loans.
Provision for credit losses for the fourth quarter of 2023 was $68.9 million, an increase of $8.1 million, or 13.3%, from the prior-year period.
Annualized net credit losses as a percentage of average net finance receivables for the fourth quarter of 2023 were 15.1%, compared to 15.0% in the prior-year period, inclusive of a 3.2% impact from the loan sale described above. The fourth quarter of 2022 also included a 3.2% impact from the sale of non-performing loans.
The provision for credit losses for the fourth quarter of 2023 included a reserve increase of $2.5 million primarily due to portfolio growth during the quarter and changes in estimated future macroeconomic impacts on credit losses.
Allowance for credit losses was $187.4 million as of December 31, 2023, or 10.6% of net finance receivables.
As of December 31, 2023, 30+ day contractual delinquencies totaled $122.9 million, or 6.9% of net finance receivables, an improvement of 20 basis points compared to December 31, 2022.
General and administrative expenses for the fourth quarter of 2023 were $64.8 million, an increase of $9.7 million from the prior-year period. Fourth quarter 2023 general and administrative expenses include a $2.0 million charge associated with the restructuring described above, while fourth quarter 2022 general and administrative expenses include a reduction to incentive compensation of $3.1 million and an insurance settlement of $0.8 million.
The operating expense ratio (annualized general and administrative expenses as a percentage of average net finance receivables) for the fourth quarter of 2023 was 14.8%, inclusive of a 50-basis point impact from the fourth-quarter restructuring described above.
First Quarter 2024 Dividend

The dividend will be paid on March 14, 2024 to shareholders of record as of the close of business on February 22, 2024.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to financial measures presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), this press release contains certain non-GAAP financial measures. The company's management utilizes non-GAAP measures as additional metrics to aid in, and enhance, its understanding of the company's financial results. Tangible equity and the funded debt-to-tangible equity ratio are non-GAAP measures that adjust GAAP measures to exclude intangible assets. Management uses these equity measures to evaluate and manage the company's capital and leverage position. The company also believes that these equity measures are commonly used in the financial services industry and provide useful information to users of the company's financial statements in the evaluation of its capital and leverage position.
This non-GAAP financial information should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. In addition, the company's non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to similarly titled non-GAAP measures of other companies. The following tables provide a reconciliation of GAAP measures to non-GAAP measures.
