    World Acceptance Corporation (NASDAQ:WRLD) today reported financial results for its first quarter of fiscal 2025.

    First fiscal quarter highlights

    During its first fiscal quarter, World Acceptance Corporation continued to focus on credit quality and a conservative approach to its lending operations. Management believes that continuing to carefully invest in our best customers and closely monitoring performance has strengthened the Company's financial position and positioned us well for the remainder of the fiscal year.

    Highlights from the first quarter include:

    • Net income of $9.9 million
    • Diluted net income per share of $1.79
    • Recency delinquency on accounts 90+ days past due improved to 3.4% at June 30, 2024, from 3.5% at June 30, 2023
    • Total revenues of $129.5 million, including a 28 basis point yield increase compared to the same quarter in the prior year

    Portfolio results

    Gross loans outstanding were $1.275 billion as of June 30, 2024, an 8.8% decrease from the $1.398 billion of gross loans outstanding as of June 30, 2023. During the most recent quarter, gross loans outstanding decreased sequentially 0.2% from $1.277 billion as of March 31, 2024, compared to an increase of 0.6%, or $8.0 million, in the comparable quarter of the prior year.

    During the most recent quarter, we did not see a significant change in borrowing from new and former customers compared to the same quarter of fiscal year 2024. Our customer base decreased by 2.6% during the twelve-month period ended June 30, 2024, compared to a decrease of 14.8% for the comparable period ended June 30, 2023. During the quarter ended June 30, 2024, the number of unique borrowers in the portfolio increased by 0.5% compared to an increase of 1.5% during the quarter ended June 30, 2023. We continued to improve the gross yield to expected loss ratio for all new, former and refinance customer originations and will continue to monitor performance indicators and intend to adjust underwriting accordingly.

    The following table includes the volume of gross loan origination balances, excluding tax advance loans, by customer type for the following comparative quarterly periods:

     

    Q1 FY 2025

    Q1 FY 2024

    Q1 FY 2023

    New Customers

    $31,834,005

    $34,647,578

    $68,465,774

    Former Customers

    $90,318,862

    $97,806,668

    Refinance Customers

    $559,874,646

    $588,767,136

    $746,740,124

    As of June 30, 2024, the Company had 1,047 open branches. For branches open at least twelve months, same store gross loans decreased 8.3% in the twelve-month period ended June 30, 2024, compared to a decrease of 10.0% for the twelve-month period ended June 30, 2023. For branches open throughout both periods, the customer base over the twelve-month period ended June 30, 2024, decreased 2.1% compared to a decrease of 10.3% for the twelve-month period ended June 30, 2023.

    Three-month financial results

    Net income for the first quarter of fiscal 2025 increased to $9.9 million compared to $9.5 million for the same quarter of the prior year. Net income per diluted share increased to $1.79 per share in the first quarter of fiscal 2025 compared to $1.62 per share for the same quarter of the prior year.

    Total revenues for the first quarter of fiscal 2025 decreased to $129.5 million, a 7.0% decrease from $139.3 million for the same quarter of the prior year. Interest and fee income declined 4.7%, from $116.6 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2024 to $111.2 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2025. Insurance income decreased by 19.4% to $12.9 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2025 compared to $16.0 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2024. The large loan portfolio decreased from 57.4% of the overall portfolio as of June 30, 2023, to 54.5% as of June 30, 2024. Interest and insurance yields for the quarter ended June 30, 2024 increased 137 and 28 basis points compared to the quarters ended March 31, 2024 and June 30, 2023, respectively. Other income decreased by 18.5% to $5.4 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2025 compared to $6.7 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2024.

    The Company accrues for expected losses with a current expected credit loss ("CECL") methodology, which requires us to create a provision for credit losses on the day we originate the loan. The provision for credit losses decreased $1.2 million to $45.4 million from $46.6 million when comparing the first quarter of fiscal 2025 to the first quarter of fiscal 2024. The table below itemizes the key components of the CECL allowance and provision impact during the quarter.

    $(1.2)

    Note: The change in allowance for the quarter plus net charge-offs for the quarter equals the provision for the quarter (see above reconciliation).

    The provision benefited from lower charge-offs during the quarter. This was partially offset by a seasonally driven increase of expected loss rates.

    Net charge-offs for the quarter decreased $4.1 million, from $42.8 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2024 to $38.7 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2025. Net charge-offs as a percentage of average net loan receivables on an annualized basis decreased to 16.4% in the first quarter of fiscal 2025 from 16.9% in the first quarter of fiscal 2024.

    Accounts 61 days or more past due remained flat at 5.6% on a recency basis at June 30, 2024 and June 30, 2023. Our allowance for credit losses as a percent of net loans receivable was 11.6% at June 30, 2024, compared to 12.7% at June 30, 2023. We experienced slight improvement in recency delinquency on accounts at least 90 days past due, improving from 3.5% at June 30, 2023, to 3.4% at June 30, 2024.

    The table below is updated to use the customer tenure-based methodology that aligns with our CECL methodology. After experiencing rapid portfolio growth during fiscal years 2019 and 2020, primarily in new customers, our gross loan balance experienced pandemic related declines in fiscal 2021 before rebounding during fiscal 2022. Over the last two years we have tightened our lending to new customers substantially. The tables below illustrate the changes in the portfolio weighting.
