- Net income of $15.2 million and diluted earnings per share of $1.56, up from $0.90 in the prior-year period -
- 30+ day contractual delinquency rate of 7.1% as of March 31, 2024 -
- Continued expense discipline with operating expense ratio of 13.7% -
Regional Management Corp. (NYSE: RM), a diversified consumer finance company, today announced results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2024.
“We had a very strong start to 2024, as we outperformed our outlook on both the top and bottom lines,” said Robert W. Beck, President and Chief Executive Officer of Regional Management Corp. “We generated net income of $15.2 million and diluted earnings per share of $1.56 in the first quarter. Our portfolio liquidated by $27 million, in line with our expectations and consistent with normal seasonal trends. The increased pricing that we have implemented over the past several quarters, along with some modest growth in our higher-margin, small loan portfolio, drove total revenue yield to 32.8%, which was 80 basis points better than the prior year and contributed to record quarterly revenue of $144 million.”
“We are very pleased with our first quarter results, and I continue to be very proud of the way that our team members are navigating through the current environment,” added Mr. Beck. “We remain cautiously optimistic about the direction of the economy and the credit performance of our portfolio, though we continue to maintain tight underwriting guidelines while thoughtfully growing our higher-margin, small loan book where appropriate. We ended the first quarter with a 30+ day delinquency rate of 7.1%, a 10 basis point improvement from the first quarter of last year, and our front book continues to perform in line with our expectations.”
“Against the current economic backdrop, we will continue to operate based on a few key guiding principles,” continued Mr. Beck. “First, we are committed to our core business of small and large loan installment lending, and we have a long runway of controlled, profitable growth ahead of us with these products. We will continue to originate loans where we have a high degree of confidence in meeting our return hurdles. Second, we will continue to tightly manage expenses while also investing in our core business in a way that improves our operating efficiency over time and ensures our long-term success and profitability. Finally, we will maintain a strong balance sheet, with ample liquidity and borrowing capacity, diversified and staggered funding sources, and a sensible interest rate management strategy.
By making fundamentally sound business decisions in line with these key principles, we expect to deliver sustainable returns and long-term value to our shareholders.”
First Quarter 2024 Highlights
- Large loan net finance receivables of $1.3 billion increased $38.8 million, or 3.2%, from the prior-year period and represented 71.7% of the total loan portfolio, compared to 72.3% in the prior-year period.
- Small loan net finance receivables were $490.8 million, an increase of 7.6% from the prior-year period.
- Total loan originations were $326.4 million in the first quarter of 2024, an increase of $23.2 million, or 7.6%, from the prior-year period, due to controlled growth from credit-tightening actions.
- Annualized net credit losses as a percentage of average net finance receivables for the first quarter of 2024 were 10.6%, compared to 10.1% in the prior-year period.
- The provision for credit losses for the first quarter of 2024 included a reserve decrease of $0.3 million primarily due to portfolio liquidation as compared to the fourth quarter of 2023, which included our non-performing loan sale.
- Allowance for credit losses was $187.1 million as of March 31, 2024, or 10.7% of net finance receivables.

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.
