GREENVILLE, S.C., October 25, 2024--(BUSINESS WIRE)--World Acceptance Corporation (NASDAQ: WRLD) today reported financial results for its second quarter of fiscal 2025.
Second fiscal quarter highlights
During its second fiscal quarter, World Acceptance Corporation achieved improved loan growth while continuing to focus on credit quality. 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 second quarter include:
-
Net income of $22.1 million
-
Diluted net income per share of $3.99
-
Recency delinquency on accounts 90+ days past due improved to 3.4% at September 30, 2024, from 3.7% at September 30, 2023
-
Total revenues of $131.4 million, including a 113 basis point yield increase compared to the same quarter in the prior year
Portfolio results
Gross loans outstanding were $1.30 billion as of September 30, 2024, a 6.1% decrease from the $1.38 billion of gross loans outstanding as of September 30, 2023. During the most recent quarter, gross loans outstanding increased sequentially 1.7%, or $21.1 million, from $1.28 billion as of June 30, 2024, compared to a decrease of 1.3%, or $18.5 million, in the comparable quarter of the prior year.
During the most recent quarter, we saw improvement in borrowing from new, former and existing customers compared to the same quarter of fiscal year 2024. Specifically, new, former and refinance loan customer volume during the quarter increased 20.8%, 11.5% and 2.9%, respectively, compared to the same quarter of fiscal year 2024. Our customer base decreased by 0.1% during the twelve-month period ended September 30, 2024, compared to a decrease of 9.4% for the comparable period ended September 30, 2023. During the quarter ended September 30, 2024, the number of unique borrowers in the portfolio increased by 3.6% compared to an increase of 1.0% during the quarter ended September 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 by customer type for the following comparative quarterly periods:
| Q2 FY 2025 | Q2 FY 2024 | Q2 FY 2023 |
New Customers | $44,479,349 | $36,822,744 | $36,638,094 |
Former Customers | $100,630,514 | $90,227,607 | $98,701,899 |
Refinance Customers | $557,020,707 | $541,181,690 | $621,138,738 |
As of September 30, 2024, the Company had 1,045 open branches. For branches open at least twelve months, same store gross loans decreased 5.6% in the twelve-month period ended September 30, 2024, compared to a decrease of 10.9% for the twelve-month period ended September 30, 2023. For branches open throughout both periods, the customer base over the twelve-month period ended September 30, 2024, increased 0.3% compared to a decrease of 6.7% for the twelve-month period ended September 30, 2023.
Three-month financial results
Net income for the second quarter of fiscal 2025 increased to $22.1 million compared to $16.1 million for the same quarter of the prior year. Net income per diluted share increased to $3.99 per share in the second quarter of fiscal 2025 compared to $2.71 per share for the same quarter of the prior year. Net income in the current and prior year quarter benefited from lower incentive expense as a result of the reversal of the expense associated with our performance-based share plan.
Total revenues for the second quarter of fiscal 2025 decreased to $131.4 million, a 4.0% decrease from $136.9 million for the same quarter of the prior year. Interest and fee income declined 2.6%, from $117.0 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2024 to $113.9 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2025. Insurance income decreased by 20.5% to $12.3 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2025 compared to $15.5 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2024. The large loan portfolio decreased from 56.7% of the overall portfolio as of September 30, 2023, to 52.1% as of September 30, 2024. Interest and insurance yields for the quarter ended September 30, 2024 increased 191 and 113 basis points compared to the quarters ended March 31, 2024 and September 30, 2023, respectively. Other income increased by 17.5% to $5.2 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2025 compared to $4.4 million in the second 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 increased $6.2 million to $46.7 million from $40.5 million when comparing the second quarter of fiscal 2025 to the second quarter of fiscal 2024. The table below itemizes the key components of the CECL allowance and provision impact during the quarter.

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 was negatively impacted by growth and an increase in expected loss rates during the quarter. Specifically, expected loss rates were negatively impacted by an increase in our 0-5 month customers, our riskiest customers, during the current quarter.
Net charge-offs for the quarter increased $1.0 million, from $40.9 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2024 to $41.9 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2025. Net charge-offs as a percentage of average net loan receivables on an annualized basis increased to 17.6% in the second quarter of fiscal 2025 from 16.1% in the second quarter of fiscal 2024. The prior year quarter's net charge-offs benefited from a $4.9 million bulk sale of charge-offs from prior periods.
Accounts 61 days or more past due decreased to 5.6% on a recency basis at September 30, 2024, compared to 5.9% at September 30, 2023. Our allowance for credit losses as a percent of net loans receivable was 12.0% at September 30, 2024, compared to 12.8% at September 30, 2023. We also experienced improvement in recency delinquency on accounts at least 90 days past due, improving from 3.7% at September 30, 2023, to 3.4% at September 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 and a half years we have tightened our lending to new customers substantially. The tables below illustrate the changes in the portfolio weighting.

General and administrative ("G&A") expenses decreased $16.6 million, or 26.4%, to $46.4 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2025 compared to $62.9 million in the same quarter of the prior fiscal year. As a percentage of revenues, G&A expenses decreased from 46.0% during the second quarter of fiscal 2024 to 35.3% during the second quarter of fiscal 2025. G&A expenses per average open branch decreased by 25.9% when comparing the second quarter of fiscal 2025 to the second quarter of fiscal 2024.
Personnel expense decreased $16.7 million, or 43.4%, during the second quarter of fiscal 2025 as compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2024. Salary expense decreased approximately $0.5 million, or 1.7%, during the quarter ended September 30, 2024, compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2023. Our headcount as of September 30, 2024, decreased 6.7% compared to September 30, 2023. Benefit expense decreased approximately $1.1 million, or 12.2%, when comparing the quarterly periods ended September 30, 2024 and 2023. Incentive expense decreased $14.6 million, in the second quarter of fiscal 2025 compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2024. The decrease in incentive expense is mostly due to a decrease in share-based compensation as a result of an $18.5 million reversal of the expense associated with the second tranche of our performance-based share plan since the Company is no longer expected to achieve the target required for the second tranche to vest. The target was set at earnings per share of $20.45 over four consecutive quarters, and the final measurement date for this target is March 31, 2025.
Occupancy and equipment expense decreased $0.1 million, or 0.7%, when comparing the quarterly periods ended September 30, 2024 and 2023.
Advertising expense increased $0.6 million, or 25.9%, in the second quarter of fiscal 2025 compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2024 due to increased spending on customer acquisition programs.
Interest expense for the quarter ended September 30, 2024, decreased by $2.1 million, or 16.6%, from the corresponding quarter of the previous year. Interest expense decreased due to a 14.5% decrease in average debt outstanding for the quarter and a 0.6% decrease in the effective interest rate from 8.71% to 8.66%. The average debt outstanding decreased from $580.4 million to $496.0 million when comparing the quarters ended September 30, 2024 and 2023. The Company’s debt to equity ratio decreased to 1.2:1 at September 30, 2024, compared to 1.4:1 at September 30, 2023. As of September 30, 2024, the Company had $504.9 million of debt outstanding, net of unamortized debt issuance costs related to the unsecured senior notes payable. The Company repurchased and canceled $12.0 million of its previously issued bonds for a purchase price of $11.5 million during the second quarter of fiscal 2025.
Other key return ratios for the second quarter of fiscal 2025 included a 7.8% return on average assets and a return on average equity of 20.1% (both on a trailing twelve-month basis).
The Company repurchased 85,843 shares of its common stock on the open market at an aggregate purchase price of approximately $10.0 million during the second quarter of fiscal 2025. This is in addition to repurchases of 79,324 shares during the first quarter of fiscal 2025 at an aggregate purchase price of approximately $11.1 million. As of September 30, 2024, the Company had $10.0 million in aggregate remaining repurchase capacity under its current share repurchase program and approximately $24.7 million under the terms of our debt facilities. The Company repurchased 295,201 shares during fiscal 2024 at an aggregate purchase price of approximately $36.2 million. The Company had approximately 5.4 million common shares outstanding, excluding approximately 367,500 unvested restricted shares, as of September 30, 2024.
Six-Month Results
Net income for the six-months ended September 30, 2024, increased $6.5 million to $32.1 million compared to $25.6 million for the same period of the prior year. This resulted in a net income of $5.77 per diluted share for the six months ended September 30, 2024, compared to $4.33 per diluted share in the prior-year period. Total revenues for the first six-months of fiscal 2025 decreased 5.5% to $260.9 million, compared to $276.2 million during the corresponding period of the previous year due to a decrease in loans outstanding. Annualized net charge-offs as a percent of average net loans increased from 16.5% during the first six-months of fiscal 2024 to 17.0% for the first six-months of fiscal 2025.
