Key Takeaways
- Regional Management Corp. reported Q3 2026 net income of $15.1 million and diluted EPS of $1.61, up 5% and 13% year over year, respectively.
- Record quarterly revenue reached $178.8 million, an 8% increase, supported by portfolio growth and fee income from the Column bank partnership.
- Net finance receivables ended the quarter at $2.2 billion, up 7.6% year over year. The auto-secured portfolio grew 25% and represented nearly 16% of the total portfolio.
- Credit remained a key pressure point. The net credit loss rate was 10.9%, up 70 basis points year over year, while the 30-plus-day delinquency rate rose 50 basis points to 7.5%.
- Management maintained its full-year outlook but now expects Q4 net income to be lower than Q3 due to seasonally higher credit losses, accelerated bank partnership costs, higher funding costs and the timing of G&A expenses.
- The company is targeting an annual return on equity above 18% over time, supported by bank partnership economics, lower credit losses and greater operating scale.
