“We have made significant progress over the last few months in terms of improving the credit quality of our portfolio – from solicitation and origination through delinquency and collection,” said Michael R. Dunn, Chief Executive Officer of Regional Management Corp. “Our early-stage and overall delinquency levels declined significantly compared to September 30, 2014, as the lower credit quality convenience check loans we originated in the second and third quarters were either charged off or replaced by higher quality loans originated in the fourth quarter. We also strengthened our leadership team in January with the hiring of Dan Taggart as our Chief Risk Officer, and he has already implemented initiatives that will help us to continue to improve the credit quality of our portfolio as we move forward.”

“In terms of our revenue and portfolio growth, we made solid progress in the quarter by growing our small and large loan portfolios, which are our most important loan categories and which we expect to be core drivers of our future strategy,” continued Mr. Dunn. “While we expect some lingering effects from 2014 will continue to impact the first quarter of 2015, we believe we have incorporated the risk of our prior issues into our 2014 financials.”

Fourth Quarter 2014 Results

For the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2014, Regional Management reported total revenue of $53.8 million, a 10.8% increase from $48.5 million in the prior-year period. Interest and fee income for the fourth quarter of 2014 was $49.0 million, a 12.1% increase from $43.7 million in the prior-year period, primarily due to a shift in product mix toward higher-yielding small installment loans. Insurance income for the fourth quarter of 2014 was $2.3 million, a 21.9% decrease from the prior-year period. Same-store revenue growth for the fourth quarter of 2014 was 4.8%.

Finance receivables outstanding at December 31, 2014 were $546.2 million, a 0.3% increase from $544.7 million in the prior-year period. Finance receivables increased primarily due to the addition of 36 de novo branches since December 31, 2013.

Provision for credit losses in the fourth quarter of 2014 was $16.0 million versus $11.6 million in the prior-year period. On a sequential basis, provision for credit losses declined 29.2%, reflecting

improvements in credit quality during the fourth quarter of 2014. Annualized net charge-offs as a percentage of average finance receivables for the fourth quarter of 2014 were 13.9%, an increase from 7.8% in the prior-year period. Net charge-offs of $18.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2014 exceeded the provision as the Company utilized a portion of the additional allowance recorded at September 30, 2014.

General and administrative expenses for the fourth quarter of 2014 were $28.4 million, an increase of 45.8% from $19.5 million in the prior-year period, primarily related to increased personnel costs from opening an additional 36 branches since December 31, 2013. Regional Management’s efficiency ratio — the percentage of general and administrative expenses compared to total revenue — was 52.8% in the fourth quarter of 2014, an increase from 40.1% in the prior-year period. Excluding one-time CEO separation costs of $1.2 million and one-time loan system implementation costs of $0.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2014, Regional Management’s efficiency ratio would have been 50.0%.

Net income for the fourth quarter of 2014 was $3.4 million, a 59.7% decrease compared to net income of $8.4 million in the prior-year period. Diluted earnings per share for the fourth quarter of 2014 were $0.26, a decrease from $0.65 in the prior-year period.

Interest and fee income for the full year ended December 31, 2014 was $184.8 million, a 21.3% increase from $152.3 million in the prior year, primarily due to a shift in product mix toward higher-yielding small installment loans and an increase in average finance receivables. Insurance income for the full year ended December 31, 2014 was $10.7 million, a 6.9% decrease from the prior year.

Provision for credit losses in the full year ended December 31, 2014 was $69.1 million versus $39.2 million in the prior year, primarily due to branch personnel issues in the first half of 2014 combined with issues related to the Company’s summer convenience check campaigns. GAAP net charge-offs as a percentage of average finance receivables for the full year ended December 31, 2014 was 11.1%, an increase from 6.9% in the prior year. Excluding $2.1 million of one-time charge-offs for the full year ended December 31, 2014 caused by a change in the Company’s charge-off policy for 180 day and over delinquent loans, non-GAAP net charge-offs as a percentage of finance receivables for the full year ended December 31, 2014 was 10.7%.

General and administrative expenses for the full year ended December 31, 2014 were $96.8 million, an increase of 36.2% from $71.0 million in the prior year, primarily due to increased personnel costs associated with the 36 de novo branches opened during 2014.
