Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.
Santander Consumer USA Holdings Inc. (the “Company”) is furnishing the transcript of the Company’s presentation at a June 11, 2014 conference and the information below. The transcript of the conference is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated herein.
| (1) | The Company currently expects its results through the course of 2014 to be in line with expectations previously communicated during its first quarter 2014 earnings call; however, if the current regulatory circumstances in the United States, and in particular, of Grupo Santander in the United States, and current competitive environment persist, our earnings growth beginning in 2015 could be reduced to approximately 2-3% as the Company lowers the growth of owned assets and shifts the mix toward more capital efficient higher ROE servicing income. In such a scenario, the Company would continue to explore all options for retaining additional assets and exceeding such growth in earnings per share estimates as the regulatory and competitive landscape improves. |
| (2) | Over time, the Company expects a reduction of reserve coverage from an estimated 17 months to 15 months. Consistent with the Company’s expectations leading up to the IPO and as previously disclosed in connection with the Company’s first quarter 2014 results, over time the Company expects its reserve coverage to moderate as asset performance continues to evolve and stabilize and as the currently expected levels of recoveries are achieved. |
| (3) | As previously disclosed by the Company, the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston (the “Federal Reserve”) informed SCUSA’s parent company, Santander Holdings USA, Inc. (“SHUSA”), that the Federal Reserve objected to SHUSA’s capital plan (the “capital plan”) pursuant to the Comprehensive Capital Analysis and Review (“CCAR”) previously submitted to the Federal Reserve by SHUSA. As a result and as the Company also previously disclosed, the Company expects to incur additional compliance costs. The Company’s incremental costs related to regulatory compliance, including CCAR, are currently expected to include an incremental staffing requirement of approximately 100 full time employees at approximately $125,000 average annual cost per person. The Company expects that these incremental employees will represent one component of costs the Company will incur in developing a best-in-class compliance capability. Other costs of the process will include, but may not be limited to, IT systems, consultants and advisors, and legal costs. The Company is in the process of evaluating and estimating the overall impact of these costs on its expected results. |
