Management Comments
Lakhbir S. Lamba
We delivered strong second quarter revenue of $168 million and improved our operating expense ratio by 80 basis points year-over-year to 12.4%, while growing our higher-quality auto-secured portfolio and returning capital to shareholders. Year-to-date, net income and diluted earnings per share are up 14% and 17%, respectively. At the same time, portfolio growth fell short of our expectations, and our net credit loss rate was modestly above our forecast, driven in part by slower portfolio growth. These results reflect a more competitive environment for customer acquisition and deliberate decisions to tighten underwriting in segments that did not meet our risk-adjusted return hurdles, which weighed on our near-term origination volumes. We are accelerating execution against our strategic priorities, foremost among them our bank partnership. We have implemented the partnership in Texas, our largest market, and its early results are very promising. We believe this partnership will be transformative to the reach, economics, and returns of our business and can materially change the trajectory of our net income and returns as we move into 2027. We are building from an even stronger foundation, and I am confident that the disciplined decisions we are making today will drive sustainable and profitable growth over the longer term.
