MICROFINANCIAL INCORPORATED ANNOUNCES
FIRST QUARTER 2011 RESULTS
FIRST QUARTER 2011 RESULTS
Burlington, MA April 20, 2011 MicroFinancial Incorporated (NASDAQ:MFI) a financial
intermediary specializing in vendor based leasing and finance programs for microticket
transactions, today announced financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2011.
Quarterly Highlights:
| Increased cash received from customers by 18.0% to $25.8 million representing $1.77 per diluted share as compared to the first quarter of 2010; | ||
| Increased net income to $2.0 million as compared to $0.6 million for the same period last year; | ||
| Increased total revenues by 8.4% to $13.3 million as compared to the same period last year; | ||
| Reduced total expenses by 11.9% as compared to the same period in last year; | ||
| Improved net charge-offs by 29% from $7.0 million to $5.0 million; and | ||
| Approved 452 new vendors during the quarter. |
First Quarter Results:
Net income for the first quarter of 2011 was $2.0 million, or $0.14 per diluted share on 14,533,102
shares, compared with results in the first quarter of 2010, which included net income of $0.6
million or $0.04 per diluted share based upon 14,409,175 shares.
Revenue for the quarter ended March 31, 2011 increased to $13.3 million compared to $12.3 million
in the first quarter of 2010 due primarily to the increase in leasing revenues associated with our
new lease originations. Income on leases was $9.1 million, up $1.0 million from the same period
last year, and rental income was $2.0 million, which is consistent with the same period last year.
Other revenue components contributed $2.2 million for the quarter which is also consistent with the
same period last year.
Total operating expenses for the quarter decreased 11.9% to $10.0 million from $11.4 million in the
first quarter of 2010. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $0.8 million to $4.0
million from $3.2 million for the same period last year related primarily to increases in personnel
related expenses, rent expense, and bank service charges. The first quarter 2011 provision for
credit losses decreased $2.2 million to $4.8 million as compared to the first quarter of 2010.
This decrease was due primarily to lower delinquency levels and lower charge off levels. First
quarter 2011 net charge-offs decreased to $5.0 million from $7.0 million in the comparable period
of 2010 while recoveries increased slightly to $1.3 million from $0.9 million. Interest expense
for the first quarter of 2011 decreased $0.1 million to $0.7 million as compared
to the first quarter of 2010 due to lower interest rates being offset by higher average outstanding
debt balances on our revolving line of credit.
Cash received from customers in the first quarter of 2011 increased 18.0% to $25.8 million versus
$21.9 million for the same period last year. New originations for the quarter increased 1.7% to
$18.4 million as compared to $18.1 million in the first quarter of 2010. Headcount at March 31,
2011 was 119 as compared to 114 for the same period last year.
Richard Latour, President and Chief Executive Officer said, We are very pleased with the continued
improvement in our financial performance in the first quarter of 2011. We had very strong earnings
of slightly more than $2.0 million representing $0.14 per diluted share and we had our
17th consecutive quarterly increase in cash received from customers. Our net investment
in leases at the end of the first quarter was approximately $140 million, an increase of
approximately 11% over the same period in 2010. We have continued to maintain a conservative
leverage ratio at less than 1.1 times debt to shareholder equity. We are also pleased to see that
our delinquency levels and net charge offs dropped considerably for the quarter. From an
operational standpoint we had a very good quarter in signing up new vendors in that we approved
slightly over 450 new vendors.
