Regional Management Corp. (NYSE: RM), a diversified consumer finance company, today announced results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2025.

“Building on our strong second-quarter momentum, we delivered another outstanding performance in the third quarter,” said Robert W. Beck, President and Chief Executive Officer of Regional Management Corp. “We achieved net income of $14.4 million and diluted EPS of $1.42 — an 87% year-over-year improvement — and crossed the $2 billion milestone in ending net receivables for the first time in our company’s history. Total revenue reached a record $165 million, while our operating expense ratio improved to an all-time best 12.8%.”

“Our success reflects disciplined execution of our growth strategies, strong credit management, and continued investment in technology and analytics,” added Mr. Beck. “Total originations hit another record, up 23% from prior year, and our auto-secured portfolio grew 41% year-over-year, demonstrating healthy consumer demand. We are also seeing notable improvements in credit performance across our portfolio, as our net credit loss rate improved 40 basis points year-over-year.”

“At the same time, we have maintained expense discipline, with revenue growth outpacing G&A expense growth by 12 times, even as we invest in innovation and new branches,” continued Mr. Beck. “Our consistent capital generation has supported $26 million in shareholder returns through dividends and share repurchases year-to-date. Based on the strength of our balance sheet, excess capital, and ability to generate income, our Board of Directors increased our authorization under our stock repurchase program from $30 million to $60 million.”

“Looking ahead, we are confident in our position and strategy,” added Mr. Beck. “We plan to open additional branches in Louisiana and California before year-end and to enter one to two new states in 2026. We remain focused on expanding our high-quality, auto-secured and higher-margin small-loan portfolios, enhancing our data and analytic capabilities, and delivering consistent value to shareholders. With a healthy balance sheet and a larger $60 million share repurchase authorization, we are well-positioned to sustain strong performance and long-term growth.”

• Net finance receivables as of September 30, 2025 were a record $2.1 billion, an improvement of $233.3 million, or 12.8%, from the prior-year period, driven by strong performance from the digital channel, receivables growth in 16 new branches opened since the third quarter of 2024, and strong execution of the company’s barbell strategy, which balances growth in higher-quality, auto-secured products with growth in the higher-margin small loan portfolio.

• Record total originations of $522.3 million, up 22.5% from the prior-year period, while maintaining conservative underwriting criteria.

• Large loan net finance receivables of $1.5 billion increased $218.7 million, or 16.9%, from the prior-year period and represented 73.7% of the total loan portfolio, compared to 71.1% in the prior-year period.

• The net credit loss rate (annualized net credit losses as a percentage of average net finance receivables) for the third quarter of 2025 was 10.2%, a 40 basis point improvement compared to 10.6% in the prior-year period, due to credit tightening, effective portfolio management, and product mix.

Fourth Quarter 2025 Dividend and Increase in Stock Repurchase Program Authorization

The company’s Board of Directors has declared a dividend of $0.30 per common share for the fourth quarter of 2025. The dividend will be paid on December 16, 2025 to shareholders of record as of the close of business on November 25, 2025. The declaration and payment of any future dividend is subject to the discretion of the Board of Directors and will depend on a variety of factors, including the company’s financial condition and results of operations.

In addition, the company’s Board of Directors has approved a $30 million increase in the amount authorized under the stock repurchase program announced in December 2024, from $30 million to $60 million. The authorization is effective immediately and will continue through June 30, 2027. As of the end of October 2025, the company had repurchased $23.5 million of stock under the $60 million stock repurchase program.

Share repurchases under the stock repurchase program may be made in the open market at prevailing market prices, through privately negotiated transactions, or through other structures in accordance with applicable federal securities laws, at times and in amounts as management deems appropriate. The timing and the amount of any common stock repurchases will be determined by the company’s management based on its evaluation of market conditions, the company’s liquidity needs, legal and contractual requirements and restrictions (including covenants in the company’s credit agreements), share price, and other factors. Repurchases of common stock may be made under a Rule 10b5-1 plan, which would permit common stock to be repurchased when the company might otherwise be precluded from doing so under insider trading laws. The repurchase program does not obligate the company to purchase any particular number of shares and may be suspended, modified, or discontinued at any time without prior notice.

This non-GAAP financial information should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. In addition, the company’s non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to similarly titled non-GAAP measures of other companies. The following tables provide a reconciliation of GAAP measures to non-GAAP measures.
