Second Quarter 2015 Highlights

1

“We are gratified that all of our efforts toward improving the operational performance of the business helped produce improved results in the second quarter,” said Michael R. Dunn, Chief Executive Officer of Regional Management Corp. “We had a strong quarter in receivable growth driven by improved marketing initiatives and in-branch activity. Large loans, which we continue to believe will be a strong driver of our future growth, increased 47% on a sequential basis and 117% from the prior-year period. Branch small loans and convenience checks, which have always been important to the company, also generated solid double-digit growth from the prior-year period. The strong receivable performance led to revenue growth of 11.7% compared to the prior-year period and 1.0% compared to the first quarter of 2015.”

“Total delinquency at the end of the quarter was 20.6%, down from 23.6% in the prior-year period, and up 1.4% from our record low first quarter of 2015,” continued Mr. Dunn. “This level of delinquency is a return to a more normalized profile for the business. We also continued to make progress on achieving operational efficiencies. Total expenses in our branches were $17.1 million, up $1.6 million compared to the prior-year period, but importantly down $2.3 million from the first quarter of 2015, driven primarily by a reduction in our existing branch staffing of 130 people since the end of 2014. Moving forward, our focus remains on growing our core small and large loan portfolios, while maintaining more normalized levels of delinquencies and continuing to focus on our expense structure. Overall, we believe we have solidly positioned ourselves for future consistent top and bottom line growth, and I am proud of the entire Regional Management team for their hard work and dedication in getting us back on track in a short period of time.”

Finance receivables outstanding at June 30, 2015 were $572.5 million, a 10.5% increase from $518.0 million in the prior-year period.
