Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On February 9, 2021, Regional Management Corp. (the “Company”) and certain of its subsidiaries entered into the Second Amendment to Seventh Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement (the “Second Amendment”), among the Company and its subsidiaries named as borrowers therein (collectively with the Company, the “Revolving Borrowers”), the financial institutions named as lenders therein (the “Revolving Lenders”), and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as agent (the “Revolving Agent”). The Second Amendment amends the Seventh Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement, dated as of September 20, 2019 (the “Loan Agreement”), among the Revolving Borrowers, the Revolving Lenders, and the Revolving Agent. The Loan Agreement was previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) by the Company on September 20, 2019 as Exhibit 10.1 on Form 8-K.

The Second Amendment amends the Loan Agreement to permit up to $20,000,000 in additional distributions through July 31, 2022 and make certain clarifying changes to the existing distributions covenant in the Loan Agreement.

For a complete description of the terms of the Second Amendment, see Exhibit 10.1 hereto. The foregoing description is only a summary, does not purport to be complete, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Second Amendment, which is incorporated by reference herein.

Item 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

On February 10, 2021, the Company issued a press release announcing financial results for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2020. A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference. On February 10, 2021, the Company will host a conference call to discuss financial results for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2020. A copy of the presentation to be used during the conference call is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.2 and is incorporated herein by reference.

All information in the press release and the presentation is furnished under Item 2.02 of Form 8-K, “Results of Operations and Financial Condition,” and shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.

Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

On February 4, 2021 (the “Grant Date”), following consultation with its independent compensation consultant, the Compensation Committee (the “Committee”) of the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of the Company approved certain compensation arrangements with respect to the Company’s named executive officers and Ms. Rana (together, the “Officers”), as described below.

The Committee granted the following awards to certain of the Officers under the Regional Management Corp. 2015 Long-Term Incentive Plan (As Amended and Restated Effective April 27, 2017) (the “2015 Plan”): (i) nonqualified stock options, (ii) performance-contingent restricted stock units (“RSUs”), (iii) cash-settled performance units (“performance units”), and (iv) restricted stock, in each case subject to the terms of the 2015 Plan and the applicable award agreement.

The Officers, other than Ms. Rana, were each granted a nonqualified stock option, subject to a Nonqualified Stock Option Agreement (the “NQSO Agreement”), to purchase such number of shares of the Company’s common stock as may be determined by dividing the value of the grant (as described below) by the fair value of each option share (calculated on or as close in time as practicable to the Grant Date in accordance with GAAP using the Black-Scholes option pricing model) as follows: Mr. Beck: $560,000; Mr. Schachtel: $160,500; and Mr. Fisher: $150,000. The option price of each option is equal to the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the Grant Date, and each option has a 10-year term, with one-third of the shares subject to each option vesting on each of December 31, 2021, December 31, 2022, and December 31, 2023, subject to the executive’s continued employment from the Grant Date through the respective vesting date or as otherwise provided in the 2015 Plan or the NQSO Agreement, the form of which was previously filed with the SEC.

The Officers were each granted RSUs with the target number of units calculated by dividing the value of the grant by the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the Grant Date, based upon grants of the following values: Mr. Beck: $560,000; Ms. Rana: $166,250; Mr. Schachtel: $160,500; and Mr. Fisher: $150,000. The actual number of RSUs, if any, that may be earned may range from 0% to 150% of the target number of units and will be based on achievement of (i) the Company’s compound annual growth rate of net income compared to the compound annual growth rate of net income for the Company’s peer group and (ii) each such executive’s and the Company’s overall performance, in each case over the performance period, January 1, 2021 through December 31, 2023, and the continued employment of each such executive through December 31, 2023, or as otherwise provided in the 2015 Plan or the Performance-Contingent Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement, the form of which was previously filed with

2


the SEC.

The Officers were each granted the following number of performance units with a target value of $1.00 per performance unit: Mr. Beck: 560,000; Ms. Rana: 166,250; Mr. Schachtel: 160,500; and Mr. Fisher: 150,000. The actual value of the performance units, if any, that may be earned may range from 0% to 150% of the target value and will be based on achievement of (i) the Company’s compound annual growth rate of basic earnings per share compared to the compound annual growth rate of basic earnings per share for the Company’s peer group and (ii) each such executive’s and the Company’s overall performance, in each case over the performance period, January 1, 2021 through December 31, 2023, and the continued employment of each such executive through December 31, 2023, or as otherwise provided in the 2015 Plan or the Cash-Settled Performance Unit Award Agreement, the form of which was previously filed with the SEC.

The Officers, other than Ms. Rana, were each granted restricted stock, subject to a Restricted Stock Award Agreement (“RSA Agreement”), with the number of shares calculated by dividing the value of the grant by the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the Grant Date, based upon grants of the following values: Mr. Beck: $560,000; Mr. Schachtel: $160,500; and Mr. Fisher: $150,000. One-third of the shares subject to each award shall vest on each of December 31, 2021, December 31, 2022, and December 31, 2023, subject to the executive’s continued employment from the Grant Date through the respective vesting date or as otherwise provided in the 2015 Plan or the RSA Agreement, the form of which was previously filed with the SEC.

Item 8.01. Other Events.

On February 10, 2021, the Company also announced that the Board has declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.20 per share of outstanding common stock, payable on March 12, 2021 to stockholders of record as of the close of business on February 23, 2021.

“We delivered outstanding portfolio growth and profitability in the fourth quarter, further validating the sustainability of our omni-channel operating model and our team’s ability to execute across the board,” said Robert W. Beck, President and Chief Executive Officer of Regional Management Corp. “Our new initiatives and customer service offerings enabled us to grow our core loan portfolio by $80 million in the quarter and by $19 million in 2020, a notable achievement in a challenging environment. At the same time, we kept 30+ day delinquencies stable, indicative of the resiliency of our customer base and our strong underwriting capabilities.”  

 

“Looking ahead, we remain focused on expanding our market share, maintaining the credit quality of our loan portfolio, and extending our competitive advantages,” added Mr. Beck. “Over the next 18 months, we will acquire new customers through innovation and geographic expansion. We are investing in digital initiatives that will improve the online prequalification experience for our applicants, enable online closing and electronic funding of loans to new and existing customers, and evolve our customer engagement with the introduction of a mobile app and an upgraded online portal. In parallel, we will expand our operations into four to five new states, making our valuable product set available to millions of new consumers.”

-

Interest and fee income decreased $0.9 million, or 1.1%, primarily due to the intended product mix shift toward large loans and the portfolio composition shift toward higher credit quality customers with slightly lower interest rates due to enhanced credit standards during the pandemic.

 

 

-

Insurance income, net increased $1.3 million, or 20.4%, driven by an increase in premium revenue and a decrease in non-file insurance claims expense.

 

 

-

Other income decreased $0.9 million, or 25.7%, driven by lower late fees on low delinquency levels.

 

 

Provision for credit losses for the fourth quarter of 2020 was $24.7 million, a decrease of $1.3 million, or 5.1%, from the prior-year period. The provision for credit losses included a release in the allowance for credit losses of $1.5 million related to the expected economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and a $7.5 million incremental build in reserves related to portfolio growth.

-

Allowance for credit losses was $150.0 million as of December 31, 2020, including a $30.4 million allowance for credit losses associated with COVID-19. The company’s macroeconomic model assumes an unemployment rate of 9% at the end of 2021.

In December 2020, 2.2% of customer accounts were renewed or deferred under internal borrower assistance programs, which is comparable to the average over the 12 months preceding the pandemic.

 

General and administrative expenses for the fourth quarter of 2020 were $44.8 million, an increase of $3.9 million, or 9.5%, from the prior-year period, primarily driven by investment in digital capabilities and increased marketing to support the company’s growth initiatives.

 

The operating expense ratio (annualized general and administrative expenses as a percentage of average net finance receivables) for the fourth quarter of 2020 was 16.4%, an increase of 150 basis points compared to the prior-year period.

 

As of December 31, 2020, the company had total unused capacity on its revolving credit facilities of $438 million, subject to the borrowing base, and available liquidity of $194 million, including unrestricted cash on hand and immediate availability to draw down cash from its revolving credit facilities.

 

For the fourth quarter of 2020, the company repurchased 435,116 shares of its common stock at a weighted-average price of $27.58 per share under the company’s $30 million stock repurchase program.

 

 

Subsequent to the fourth quarter of 2020, the company priced an approximate $250 million securitization at a record-low weighted-average coupon of 2.08%. Proceeds from the securitization will be used to retire the company’s RMIT 2018-2 securitization, which had a weighted average coupon of 4.87%, thus reducing the company’s cost of capital. The securitization is expected to close on or around February 18, 2021, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions.

Subsequent to the fourth quarter of 2020, the company also amended its ABL facility to provide an additional $20 million of flexibility to return capital to shareholders in the future, whether through dividends or share repurchases.

The declaration and payment of any future dividend is subject to the discretion of Regional’s Board of Directors and will depend on a variety of factors, including the company’s financial condition and results of operations.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

As of December 31, 2020, the company had net finance receivables of $1.1 billion and outstanding long-term debt of $768.9 million ($767.0 million of outstanding debt and $1.9 million of interest payable), consisting of:

 

$286.1 million on its $640.0 million senior revolving credit facility,

$42.1 million on its $125.0 million revolving warehouse credit facility, and

$440.7 million through its asset-backed securitizations.

 

The company’s unused capacity on its revolving credit facilities (subject to the borrowing base) was $438 million, or 57.3%, as of December 31, 2020.

Forward-Looking Statements

 

This press release may contain various “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements are not statements of historical fact but instead represent Regional Management Corp.’s expectations or beliefs concerning future events. Forward-looking statements include, without limitation, statements concerning future plans, objectives, goals, projections, strategies, events, or performance, and underlying assumptions and other statements related thereto. Words such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “likely,” “anticipates,” “expects,” “intends,” “plans,” “projects,” “believes,” “estimates,” “outlook,” and similar expressions may be used to identify these forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements speak only as of the date on which they were made and are about matters that are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties, many of which are outside of the control of Regional Management. As a result, actual performance and results may differ materially from those contemplated by these forward-looking statements. Therefore, investors should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements.

 

Factors that could cause actual results or performance to differ from the expectations expressed or implied in forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, the following: changes

5


 

in general economic conditions, including levels of unemployment and bankruptcies; the impact of the recent outbreak of a novel coronavirus (COVID-19), including on Regional Management’s access to liquidity and the credit risk of Regional Management’s finance receivable portfolio; risks associated with Regional Management’s ability to timely and effectively implement, transition to, and maintain the necessary information technology systems, infrastructure, processes, and controls to support its operations and initiatives; risks associated with Regional Management’s loan origination and servicing software system, including the risk of prolonged system outages; risks related to opening new branches, including the ability or inability to open new branches as planned; risks inherent in making loans, including credit risk, repayment risk, and value of collateral, which risks may increase in light of adverse or recessionary economic conditions; risks associated with the implementation of new underwriting models and processes, including as to the effectiveness of new custom scorecards; risks relating to Regional Management’s asset-backed securitization transactions; changes in interest rates; the risk that Regional Management’s existing sources of liquidity become insufficient to satisfy its needs or that its access to these sources becomes unexpectedly restricted; changes in federal, state, or local laws, regulations, or regulatory policies and practices, and risks associated with the manner in which laws and regulations are interpreted, implemented, and enforced; changes in accounting standards, rules, and interpretations, and the failure of related assumptions and estimates, including those associated with the implementation of current expected credit loss (CECL) accounting; the impact of changes in tax laws, guidance, and interpretations; the timing and amount of revenues that may be recognized by Regional Management; changes in current revenue and expense trends (including trends affecting delinquencies and credit losses); changes in Regional Management’s markets and general changes in the economy (particularly in the markets served by Regional Management); changes in the competitive environment in which Regional Management operates or a decrease in the demand for its products; the timing and amount of future cash dividend payments; risks related to acquisitions; changes in operating and administrative expenses; and the departure, transition, or replacement of key personnel. The COVID-19 pandemic may also magnify many of these risks and uncertainties.

 

The foregoing factors and others are discussed in greater detail in Regional Management’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Regional Management will not update or revise forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this press release or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events or the non-occurrence of anticipated events, whether as a result of new information, future developments, or otherwise, except as required by law. Regional Management is not responsible for changes made to this document by wire services or Internet services.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to financial measures presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), this press release contains certain non-GAAP financial measures. The company’s management utilizes non-GAAP measures as additional metrics to aid in, and enhance, its understanding of the company’s financial results. Tangible equity and funded debt-to-tangible equity ratio are non-GAAP measures that adjust GAAP measures to exclude intangible assets. Management uses these equity measures to evaluate and manage the company’s capital and leverage position. The company also believes that these equity measures are commonly used in the financial services industry and provide useful information to users of the company’s financial statements in the evaluation of its capital and leverage position.

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.

Factors that could cause actual results or performance to differ from the expectations expressed or implied in forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, the following: changes in general economic conditions, including levels of unemployment and bankruptcies; the impact of the recent outbreak of a novel coronavirus (COVID-19), including on the Company’s access to liquidity and the credit risk of the Company’s finance receivable portfolio; risks associated with the Company’s ability to timely and effectively implement, transition to, and maintain the necessary information technology systems, infrastructure, processes, and controls to support its operations and initiatives; risks associated with the Company’s loan origination and servicing software system, including the risk of prolonged system outages; risks related to opening new branches, including the ability or inability to open new branches as planned; risks inherent in making loans, including credit risk, repayment risk, and value of collateral, which risks may increase in light of adverse or recessionary economic conditions; risks associated with the implementation of new underwriting models and processes, including as to the effectiveness of new custom scorecards; risks relating to the Company’s asset-backed securitization transactions; changes in interest rates; the risk that the Company’s existing sources of liquidity become insufficient to satisfy its needs or that its access to these sources becomes unexpectedly restricted; changes in federal, state, or local laws, regulations, or regulatory policies and practices, and risks associated with the manner in which laws and regulations are interpreted, implemented, and enforced; changes in accounting standards, rules, and interpretations, and the failure of related assumptions and estimates, including those associated with the implementation of current expected credit loss (CECL) accounting; the impact of changes in tax laws, guidance, and interpretations; the timing and amount of revenues that may be recognized by the Company; changes in current revenue and expense trends (including trends affecting delinquencies and credit losses); changes in the Company’s markets and general changes in the economy (particularly in the markets served by the Company); changes in the competitive environment in which the Company operates or a decrease in the demand for its products; the timing and amount of future cash dividend payments; risks related to acquisitions; changes in operating and administrative expenses; and the departure, transition, or replacement of key personnel. The foregoing factors and others are discussed in greater detail in the Company’s filings with the SEC. The COVID-19 pandemic may also magnify many of these risks and uncertainties. The Company cannot guarantee future events, results, actions, levels of activity, performance, or achievements. The Company will not update or revise forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this presentation or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events or the non-occurrence of anticipated events, whether as a result of new information, future developments, or otherwise, except as required by law.

Tangible equity and funded debt-to-tangible equity ratio are non-GAAP measures that adjust GAAP measures to exclude intangible assets.

The company also believes that these equity measures are commonly used in the financial services industry and provide useful information to users of the company’s financial statements in the evaluation of its capital and leverage position. In addition, the company has presented non-GAAP measures that adjust for the executive transition, the loan management system outage, and the workforce actions taken. The company believes that these non-GAAP measures provide useful information by excluding certain material items that may not be indicative of our core operating results. As a result, the company believes that the non-GAAP measures that it has presented will allow for a better evaluation of the operating performance of the business. 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.
