Management Commentary

Jeff Howard, President and Chief Executive Officer at Atlanticus stated, “We are pleased to once again deliver strong profitability and return on capital, even as we navigate elevated charge-offs following consumer stress caused by rapid inflation in the second half of last year. As we have observed the consumers we serve benefit from higher wages and adjust to higher cost of living, we have returned to quarter over quarter increases in new accounts served leading to our continued trend of year over year managed receivables and revenue growth.

“We are seeing growth across each of our product offerings. Our retail credit offering grew through new client roll outs as well as period over period growth from existing clients. Our general purpose managed receivables also grew year-over-year, even as the total number of customers served by that business line declined due to our tightened underwriting beginning in the second quarter of last year. General purpose receivables growth was due to higher credit line utilization as the portfolio matures, as well as an increase in the number of new customers on a quarter over quarter basis. In total, we added over 350,000 new accounts on behalf of our bank partners in the quarter, up from aproximately 220,000 in the first quarter of 2023.

“As has been our focus historically, our future growth will be dependent on our confidence in achieving attractive returns on our shareholders’ capital. As the consumers we serve have regained stable performance, and with ample liquidity available to us, we are well positioned for long term sustained growth through each of our retail credit, general purpose credit card, healthcare payments and auto finance lines of business.”

Managed Receivables

Managed receivables increased 13.9% to $2.2 billion from June 30, 2022 largely driven by growth in the private label credit and general purpose credit card products offered by our bank partners. Total accounts served increased 2.0% to 3.3 million. We have continued to experience overall period-over-period quarterly receivables growth with over $264.5 million in net receivables growth associated with the private label credit and general purpose credit card products offered by our bank partners from June 30, 2022 to June 30, 2023. The addition of large private label credit retail partners and ongoing purchases of receivables arising in accounts issued by our bank partners to customers of our existing retail partners helped grow our private label credit receivables by $130.1 million in the twelve months ended June 30, 2023. Our general purpose credit card receivables grew by $134.3 million during the twelve months ended June 30, 2023. We have noted recent recoveries in consumer spending behavior that have helped to increase the overall combined managed receivables levels and we currently expect this trend to continue further into 2023, although we expect the pace of growth to slow when compared to earlier periods due to tightened underwriting standards adopted during the second quarter 2022 (and subsequent quarters).

Total Operating Revenue

Total operating revenue consists of: 1) interest income, finance charges and late fees on consumer loans, 2) other fees on credit products including annual and merchant fees and 3) ancillary, interchange and servicing income on loan portfolios.

During the quarter ended June 30, 2023, total operating revenue increased 7.8% to $290.8 million when compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2022.

We continue to experience period-over-period growth in all segments of our business including private label credit and general purpose credit card receivables and to a lesser extent in our Auto Finance receivables. We expect net period-over-period growth in our total interest income and related fees for these operations for the majority of 2023, albeit at a decreased growth rate to that experienced in 2022. Growth in future periods is also dependent on the addition of new retail partners and the expansion of existing relationships to expand the reach of private label credit operations and effective marketing for the general purpose credit card operations.

Interest Expense

Interest expense was $24.2 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2023, compared to $18.9 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2022. The elevated expenses were primarily driven by the planned increases in outstanding debt in proportion to growth in our receivables coupled with some increases in the cost of capital.

Outstanding notes payable, net of unamortized debt issuance costs and discounts, associated with our private label credit and general purpose credit card platform increased from $1,359.7 million as of June 30, 2022 to $1,595.8 million as of June 30, 2023. Recent increases in the federal funds rate have thus far had a modest impact on our interest expense as over 85% of interest rates on our outstanding debt are fixed.

We anticipate additional debt financing over the next few quarters as we continue to grow coupled with increased effective interest rates resulting from recent federal funds rate increases. As such, we expect our quarterly interest expense for these operations to increase compared to prior periods.

Changes in Fair Value of Loans, Interest and Fees Receivable Recorded at Fair Value

Changes in fair value of loans, interest and fees receivable recorded at fair value increased to $177.8 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2023, compared to $146.6 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2022.

This increase was largely driven by growth in underlying receivables coupled with increased fee billings on those receivables.

Fee billings on our fair value receivables increased from $217.9 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2022 to $234.1 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2023. We include expected market degradation in our forecasts to reflect the possibility of delinquency rates increasing in the near term (and the corresponding increase in charge-offs and decrease in payments) above the level that historical and current trends would suggest.

We expect our change in fair value of credit card receivables recorded at fair value to increase throughout 2023 consistent with growth in these receivables.

Total Operating Expenses

Total operating expenses decreased 8.7% in the quarter when compared to the same period in 2022.

For the quarter, operating expenses decreased, primarily driven by reductions in marketing, corresponding to strategic underwriting, tightening and selectively slowing our growth in receivables and new customers on behalf of our bank partners.

We expect increases in portions of this cost for 2023 as we continue to grow the number of consumers served and hire additional talent to meet our anticipated levels of marketing, origination, and receivables.

Net Income Attributable to Common Shareholders

Net income attributable to common shareholders decreased 32.3% to $18.8 million, or $1.02 per diluted share for the quarter ended June 30, 2023.

Share Repurchases

We repurchased and retired 105,447 shares of our common stock at an aggregate cost of $3.0 million, in the quarter ended June 30, 2023.

We will continue to evaluate the best use of our capital to increase shareholder value over time.

Additional Information

Additional trends and data with respect to our private label credit and general purpose credit card receivables can be found in our latest Form 10-Q filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission under Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

Calculation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release presents information about managed receivables, which is a non-GAAP financial measure provided as a supplement to the results provided in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP). In addition to financial measures presented in accordance with GAAP, we present managed receivables, total managed yield, combined principal net charge-offs, and fair value to face value ratio, all of which are non-GAAP financial measures. These non-GAAP financial measures aid in the evaluation of the performance of our credit portfolios, including our risk management, servicing and collection activities and our valuation of purchased receivables. The credit performance of our managed receivables provides information concerning the quality of loan originations and the related credit risks inherent with the portfolios. Management relies heavily upon financial data and results prepared on the managed basis in order to manage our business, make planning decisions, evaluate our performance and allocate resources.

These non-GAAP financial measures are presented for supplemental informational purposes only. These non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, GAAP financial measures. These non-GAAP financial measures may differ from the non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. A reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures or the calculation of the non-GAAP financial measures are provided below for each of the fiscal periods indicated.

These non-GAAP financial measures include only the performance of those receivables underlying consolidated subsidiaries (for receivables carried at amortized cost basis and fair value) and exclude the performance of receivables held by our former equity method investee. As the receivables underlying our former equity method investee reflect a small and diminishing portion of our overall receivables base, we do not believe their inclusion or exclusion in the overall results is material. Additionally, we calculate average managed receivables based on the quarter-end balances.

The comparison of non-GAAP managed receivables to our GAAP financial statements requires an understanding that managed receivables reflect the face value of loans, interest and fees receivable without any consideration for potential loan losses or other adjustments to reflect fair value.

A reconciliation of Loans, interest and fees receivable, at fair value to Loans, interest and fees receivable, at face value is as follows:

⁽¹⁾		We elected the fair value option to account for certain loans receivable associated with our private label credit and general purpose credit card platform that were acquired on or after January 1, 2020, and, as discussed in more detail in the Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2023, on January 1, 2022, we elected the fair value option under ASU 2016-13 for those private label credit and general purpose credit card receivables that were previously accounted for under the amortized cost method.
⁽²⁾		The fair value mark against receivables reflects the difference between the face value of a receivable and the net present value of the expected cash flows associated with that receivable.
⁽³⁾		The Fair value to face value ratio is calculated using Loans, interest and fees receivable, at fair value as the numerator, and Loans, interest and fees receivable, at face value, as the denominator.
