ATLANTA, May 09, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Atlanticus Holdings Corporation (NASDAQ: ATLC) (“Atlanticus,” “the Company”, “we,” “our” or “us”), a financial technology company which enables its bank, retail and healthcare partners to offer more inclusive financial services to millions of everyday Americans, today announced its financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2023. An accompanying earnings presentation is available in the “Investors” section of the Company’s website at www.atlanticus.com or by clicking here.
Financial and Operating Highlights
First Quarter 2023 Highlights (all comparisons to the First Quarter 2022)
- Total operating revenue increased 13.6% to $261.0 million.
- Purchase volume of $581.5 million.
- Over 220,000 new accounts served during the quarter, over 3.2 million total accounts serviced¹
- Net income attributable to common shareholders of $20.0 million, or $1.08 per diluted common share
- Managed receivables² increased 22.5% to $2.1 billion
¹In our calculation of total accounts serviced, we include all accounts with account activity and accounts that have open lines of credit at the end of the referenced period.
²Managed receivables is a non-GAAP financial measure and excludes the results of our Auto Finance receivables. See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” for important additional information.Management Commentary
Jeff Howard, President and Chief Executive Officer at Atlanticus stated, “We continue to be pleased with our overall performance, which is consistent with our expectations following our decision to tighten underwriting last year as Everyday Americans adjusted to rapid inflation. All lines of our business experienced growth in revenue, managed receivables, and accounts serviced over the same period last year, with operating revenue and managed receivables increasing approximately 13% and 23%, respectively. In addition to growth in our retail partnerships and direct-to-consumer efforts, we continue to make progress on new initiatives such as healthcare payments and co-brand offerings which should open new avenues for our credit-as-a-service platform to support and grow our partner brands.
“Consistent with our purpose of Empowering Better Financial Outcomes For Everyday Americans, we facilitated over 220,000 new accounts in the first quarter, bringing the total number of accounts we serve to over 3.2 million. We have been diligent in balancing the needs of our customers, who have been adjusting to higher cost of living, with our focus on asset level profitability from the receivables in which we invest. During the quarter, lower levels of inflation and increasing wages appear to have allowed the customers we serve to regain stability in terms of credit activity. This stabilization in consumer behavior, combined with the underwriting and account management strategies we have undertaken, have resulted in improved asset performance.
“We remain excited about our long-term growth prospects given the markets we serve and our position within those markets. However, there is an elevated degree of economic uncertainty near term. Our growth plans are predicated on our confidence, based on over 25 years of experience and data aggregation, in achieving appropriate returns on our shareholders' capital.”

Managed Receivables
Managed receivables increased 22.5% to $2.1 billion from March 31, 2022 largely driven by growth in the private label credit and general purpose credit card products offered by our bank partners. Total accounts served increased 9.2% to 3.2 million. Recent recoveries in consumer spending behavior have helped increase the overall combined managed receivables levels and we currently expect this trend to continue further into 2023, although we expect the pace of growth to slow when compared to earlier periods due to tightened underwriting standards adopted beginning in the second quarter of 2022.
Total Operating Revenue
Total operating revenue consists of: 1) interest income, finance charges and late fees on consumer loans, 2) other fees on credit products including annual and merchant fees and 3) ancillary, interchange and servicing income on loan portfolios.
During the quarter ended March 31, 2023, total operating revenue increased 13.6% to $261.0 million when compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2022. We have higher growth in our acquisitions of general purpose credit card receivables (which tend to have higher yields and corresponding charge-offs) than in our acquisitions of private label credit receivables. This relative mix of receivable acquisitions led to an increase in our corresponding revenue.
We continue to experience period-over-period growth in all segments of our business including private label credit and general purpose credit card receivables and to a lesser extent in our Auto Finance receivables. We expect net period-over-period growth in our total interest income and related fees for these operations for the majority of 2023, albeit at a decreased growth rate to that experienced in 2022. Growth in future periods is also dependent on the addition of new retail partners and the expansion of existing relationships to expand the reach of private label credit operations and effective marketing for the general purpose credit card operations.
Interest Expense
Interest expense was $24.2 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2023, compared to $17.4 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2022. The elevated expenses were primarily driven by the planned increases in outstanding debt in proportion to growth in our receivables.
Outstanding notes payable, net of unamortized debt issuance costs and discounts, associated with our private label credit and general purpose credit card platform increased from $1,206.6 million as of March 31, 2022 to $1,543.8 million as of March 31, 2023. Recent increases in the federal funds rate have thus far had a modest impact on our interest expense as over 90% of interest rates on our outstanding debt are fixed.
We anticipate additional debt financing over the next few quarters as we continue to grow coupled with increased effective interest rates resulting from recent federal funds rate increases. As such, we expect our quarterly interest expense for these operations to increase compared to prior periods.
Provision for Losses on Loans, Interest and Fees Receivable Recorded at Net Realizable Value
Provision for losses on loans, interest and fees receivable recorded at net realizable value decreased to $0.7 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2023, compared to $0.1 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2022. This reduction primarily reflects the effects of our adoption of the fair value option, which has resulted in a significant decline in the outstanding receivables subject to this provision.
We expect that our provision for losses on loans will increase modestly in 2023 (when compared to comparable periods in 2022) in relation to growth in the underlying Auto Finance receivables and increases in delinquencies, reflective of delinquencies returning to historically normalized levels (i.e., those periods prior to COVID-19 and the
related government stimulus programs).
Changes in Fair Value of Loans, Interest and Fees Receivable Recorded at Fair Value
Changes in fair value of loans, interest and fees receivable recorded at fair value increased to $149.8 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2023, compared to $104.7 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2022. Offsetting this was a reduction in the discount rate applied to the net cash flows associated with these investments during the second quarter of 2022.
This increase was largely driven by growth in underlying receivables coupled with increased fee billings on those receivables.
Fee billings on our fair value receivables increased from $194.6 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2022 to $219.7 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2023. We include expected market degradation in our forecasts to reflect the possibility of delinquency rates increasing in the near term (and the corresponding increase in charge-offs and decrease in payments) above the level that historical and current trends would suggest.
We expect our change in fair value of credit card receivables recorded at fair value to increase throughout 2023 consistent with growth in these receivables.
Total Operating Expenses
Total operating expenses decreased 25.4% in the quarter when compared to the same period in 2022.
For the quarter, operating expenses decreased, primarily driven by reductions in marketing, corresponding to strategic underwriting, tightening and selectively slowing our growth in receivables and new customers on behalf of our bank partners.
We expect some continued increase in portions of this cost for 2023 as we hire talent to meet our expected growing needs to manage increased levels of marketing, origination, and receivables.
Net Income Attributable to Common Shareholders
Net income attributable to common shareholders decreased 48.5% to $20.0 million, or $1.08 per diluted share for the quarter ended March 31, 2023.
Share Repurchases
We repurchased and retired 72,354 shares of our common stock at an aggregate cost of $1.9 million, in the quarter ended March 31, 2022.
We will continue to evaluate the best use of our capital to increase shareholder value over time.

Calculation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release presents information about managed receivables, which is a non-GAAP financial measure provided as a supplement to the results provided in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). In addition to financial measures presented in accordance with GAAP, we present managed receivables, total managed yield, combined principal net charge-offs, and fair value to face value ratio, all of which are non-GAAP financial measures. These non-GAAP financial measures aid in the evaluation of the performance of our credit portfolios, including our risk management, servicing and collection activities and our valuation of purchased receivables. The credit performance of our managed receivables provides information concerning the quality of loan originations and the related credit risks inherent with the portfolios. Management relies heavily upon financial data and results prepared on the “managed basis” in order to manage our business, make planning decisions, evaluate our performance and allocate resources.
These non-GAAP financial measures are presented for supplemental informational purposes only. These non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, GAAP financial measures. These non-GAAP financial measures may differ from the non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. A reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures or the calculation of the non-GAAP financial measures are provided below for each of the fiscal periods indicated.
These non-GAAP financial measures include only the performance of those receivables underlying consolidated subsidiaries (for receivables carried at amortized cost basis and fair value) and exclude the performance of receivables held by our former equity method investee. As the receivables underlying our former equity method investee reflect a small and diminishing portion of our overall receivables base, we do not believe their inclusion or exclusion in the overall results is material. Additionally, we calculate average managed receivables based on the quarter-end balances.
The comparison of non-GAAP managed receivables to our GAAP financial statements requires an understanding that managed receivables reflect the face value of loans, interest and fees receivable without any consideration for potential loan losses or other adjustments to reflect fair value.
A reconciliation of Loans, interest and fees receivable, at fair value to Loans, interest and fees receivable, at face value is as follows:
