OneMain Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: OMF) today reported pretax income of $121 million and net income of $69 million for the third quarter of 2017, compared to $33 million and $25 million, respectively, in the prior year quarter. Pretax income for the third quarter of 2017 included approximately $27 million of estimated hurricane-related charges. Earnings per diluted share were $0.51 in the third quarter of 2017, including estimated hurricane-related charges of $0.12 per diluted share, compared to $0.19 in the prior year quarter.

Jay Levine, President and CEO of OneMain Holdings, Inc. said, “We delivered another strong financial performance during the third quarter of 2017, highlighted by solid customer demand. We continued to generate strong originations growth and manage credit, and we further strengthened our liquidity and balance sheet. I couldn’t be more pleased with the results we are seeing as we continue to execute on our objectives.”

Consumer and Insurance Segment ⁽¹⁾

Consumer and Insurance segment adjusted pretax income was $194 million and adjusted net income was $123 million for the third quarter of 2017, compared to $196 million and $122 million, respectively, in the prior year quarter. Adjusted pretax income for the third quarter of 2017 included approximately $22 million of estimated hurricane-related charges. Consumer and Insurance segment adjusted earnings per diluted share were $0.91 for the third quarter of 2017, including estimated hurricane-related charges of $0.10 per diluted share, compared to $0.90 in the prior year quarter.

Ending net finance receivables reached $14.3 billion at September 30, 2017, up 6% from $13.5 billion in the prior year. Average net finance receivables reached $14.1 billion in the third quarter of 2017, up 5% from $13.4 billion in the prior year quarter. Secured receivables represented 41% of ending net finance receivables at September 30, 2017, up from 34% in the prior year. Net finance receivables per branch totaled $8.7 million at September 30, 2017, up from $7.2 million in the prior year, primarily reflecting the benefit of our branch integration efforts.

Originations totaled $2.6 billion in the third quarter of 2017, up 19% from $2.2 billion in the prior year quarter. The percentage of secured originations was 47% in the third quarter of 2017, up from 45% in the prior year, reflecting our objective to grow the portfolio mix of secured loans.

Interest income in the third quarter of 2017 was $831 million, slightly up from $827 million in the prior year quarter, as the impact of higher average receivables was partially offset by lower portfolio yields. Interest income was up 4% from $801 million in the second quarter of 2017, largely due to higher average receivables.

Yield was 23.4% in the third quarter of 2017, down from 24.5% in the prior year quarter and down from 23.9% in the second quarter of 2017. The year-over-year and sequential declines largely reflected the impact of a larger proportion of Direct Auto loans in the portfolio, which have lower average interest rates but higher expected unit profitability. Yield for the third quarter of 2017 was impacted by approximately 20 basis points from our hurricane-related borrower assistance programs.

Provision for loan losses at September 30, 2017 was $245 million, up from $224 million in the prior year quarter and up from $234 million at June 30, 2017. The year-over-year and sequential increases primarily reflected the growth of the portfolio as well as the estimated impact of recent hurricanes on portfolio loan losses in future periods.

The 30-89 day delinquency ratio was 2.4% at September 30, 2017, up seasonally from 2.1% at June 30, 2017. The 30-89 day delinquency ratio was down from 2.6% at September 30, 2016.

The 90+ day delinquency ratio was 2.1% at September 30, 2017, roughly flat sequentially and counter to seasonal trends. The 90+ day delinquency ratio was down from 2.3% in the prior year quarter.

The net charge-off ratio was 6.4% in the third quarter of 2017, seasonally down from 6.9% in the prior quarter, and up from 6.2% in the prior year quarter due to the impact of integration-related activities that occurred during the first quarter of 2017.

Operating expense for the third quarter of 2017 was $295 million, down 11% from $330 million in the prior year quarter and down 2% from $300 million in the second quarter of 2017. The year-over-year decline largely reflected synergies from our integration efforts and completion of our cost savings plan. The sequential decline generally reflected lower variable expenses in the third quarter of 2017.

Acquisitions and Servicing Segment ⁽¹⁾

The Acquisitions and Servicing segment broke even in the third quarter of 2017 on an adjusted pretax income basis, compared to $2 million in adjusted pretax income in the prior year quarter.

Other ⁽¹⁾

Beginning in 2017, management no longer views or manages our real estate assets as a separate operating segment. Therefore, we now include Real Estate, which was previously presented as a distinct reporting segment, in “Other.” During the third quarter of 2017, Other generated an adjusted pretax loss of $13 million, compared to an adjusted pretax loss of $8 million in the prior year quarter.

Other adjusted pretax income for the third quarter of 2017 included approximately $5 million of estimated hurricane related loan loss reserve provisioning.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of September 30, 2017, we had $916 million of cash and cash equivalents, which included $365 million of cash and cash equivalents held at our regulated insurance subsidiaries or for other operating activities that is unavailable for general corporate purposes. We had undrawn revolving conduit facilities of $5.1 billion and long-term debt of $14.6 billion at September 30, 2017.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We report the operating results of Consumer and Insurance, Acquisitions and Servicing, and Other using the Segment Accounting Basis, which (i) reflects our allocation methodologies for certain costs, primarily interest expense, loan loss reserves, and acquisition costs, to reflect the manner in which we assess our business results and (ii) excludes the impact of applying purchase accounting (eliminates premiums/discounts on our finance receivables and long-term debt at acquisition, as well as the amortization/accretion in future periods). Consumer and Insurance adjusted pretax income (loss), Consumer and Insurance adjusted net income (loss), Consumer and Insurance adjusted earnings (loss) per diluted share, Acquisitions and Servicing adjusted pretax income (loss), and Other adjusted pretax income (loss) are key performance measures used by management in evaluating the performance of our business. Consumer and Insurance adjusted pretax income (loss), Acquisitions and Servicing adjusted pretax income (loss), and Other adjusted pretax income (loss) represents income (loss) before income taxes on a Segment Accounting Basis and excludes acquisition-related transaction and integration expenses, net loss on sale of real estate loans, losses resulting from repurchases and repayments of debt, and net loss on liquidation of our United Kingdom subsidiary. Management believes these non-GAAP financial measures are useful in assessing the profitability of our segments and uses these non-GAAP financial measures in evaluating our operating performance and as a performance goal under the company’s executive compensation programs. These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered supplemental to, but not as a substitute for or superior to, income (loss) before income taxes, net income, or other measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP.
