Regional Management Corp. (NYSE:RM), a diversified consumer finance company, today announced results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2021.

"We are proud of our performance during the second quarter, having generated $20.2 million of net income, strong returns of 7.1% ROA and 28.7% ROE, and double-digit year-over-year receivables and revenue growth," said Robert W. Beck, President and Chief Executive Officer of Regional Management Corp. "We took advantage of the improving economy and robust loan demand to expand our market share, originating a record $373 million of loans in the quarter and driving our ending net receivables to an all-time high of $1.2 billion. The second quarter loan production and growth contributed to record quarterly revenue and is a validation of our recent strategic investments in our omni-channel model, including our digital initiatives, geographic expansion, and new product and channel development."

"Along with our exceptional top-line results, we continue to maintain a superior credit profile," added Mr. Beck. "Our 30+ day delinquency rate improved to a historical low of 3.6%, enabling us to maintain our allowance for credit losses at prior levels despite record sequential quarterly portfolio growth. Robust growth, stable credit, well-managed expenses, and low funding costs combined for another quarter of significant, year-over-year earnings growth. Looking to the second half of 2021, we remain focused on executing on our current strategies to grow our portfolio and to maintain our strong credit profile. With ample unused capacity and available liquidity, we remain well-positioned to continue grabbing market share and delivering attractive returns and long-term value to our shareholders."

The declaration and payment of any future dividend is subject to the discretion of the Board of Directors and will depend on a variety of factors, including the company's financial condition and results of operations.

In addition, the company's Board of Directors has approved a $20 million increase in the amount authorized under the stock repurchase program announced in May 2021, from $30 million to $50 million.

Share repurchases under the stock repurchase program may be made in the open market at prevailing market prices, through privately negotiated transactions, or through other structures in accordance with applicable federal securities laws, at times and in amounts as management deems appropriate. The timing and the amount of any common stock repurchases will be determined by the company's management based on its evaluation of market conditions, the company's liquidity needs, legal and contractual requirements and restrictions (including covenants in the company's credit agreements), share price, and other factors. Repurchases of common stock may be made under a Rule 10b5-1 plan, which would permit common stock to be repurchased when the company might otherwise be precluded from doing so under insider trading laws. The repurchase program does not obligate the company to repurchase any particular number of shares and may be suspended, modified, or discontinued at any time without prior notice.

Full Year 2021 Outlook

Current economic conditions remain steady,
The full year 2021 net credit loss rate will be approximately 7.0%,
The company will build its allowance for credit losses in the second half of the year due to net finance receivables growth,
The allowance for credit losses rate will normalize to pre-pandemic levels of approximately 10.8% by the end of the year, and
General and administrative expenses will increase in the second half of the year as the company continues to invest in its growth initiatives, including increased marketing expenses associated with digital lending efforts.

Branch Network

As of June 30, 2021, the company's branch network consisted of 368 locations, and in April 2021, the company opened its first branch in Illinois. The company expects to open 15 to 20 new branches during the full year 2021, subject to the economic environment.

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 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.
