“We were pleased with our third quarter performance, led by a third consecutive quarter of double-digit growth in net finance receivables, revenue, same-store sales and net income,” said Thomas Fortin, Chief Executive Officer of Regional Management Corp. “In particular, we are excited by the significant quarterly growth in our furniture and appliance purchase loan unit, where we have already more than doubled our total receivables from the end of 2011, providing us with additional cross-selling opportunities. We furthered our branch expansion, opening an additional 7 de novo branches in the quarter, bringing our total for the year to 24 as of September 30. At the same time, we did see an increase in our net chargeoffs as a percentage of average finance receivables, as well as in our efficiency ratio. We are keeping a close eye on both figures to ensure our cost structure is aligned properly with our growth plans.”

Third Quarter 2012 Results

For the third quarter ended September 30, 2012, Regional Management reported total revenue of $35.5 million, a 32.8% increase from $26.7 million in the prior-year period. Interest and fee income revenue for the third quarter of 2012 was $31.1 million, a 32.8% increase from $23.4 million in the prior-year period, primarily due to a 40.0% year-over-year increase in finance receivables.

Finance receivables outstanding at September 30, 2012 were $396.9 million, a 40.0% increase from $283.4 million in the prior-year period.
