Onyx Acceptance Reports First Quarter Earnings
FOOTHILL RANCH, Calif., April 26 Onyx Acceptance
Corporation announced today its financial and operational
results for the quarter ended March 31, 2001. Net income and earnings per
diluted share for the quarter were $884.8 thousand and $0.17 respectively,
compared to $1.7 million and $0.26 for the first quarter of 2000.
During the first quarter, the Company recorded a gain on sale of contracts
of $9.3 million, or 37.2% of total revenues, compared to $12.8 million or
50.0% of first quarter 2000 revenues. The reduction of the gain was
principally due to management's decision to target higher credit-worthy
customers and reduce its reliance on initial gain on sale accounting for its
reported financial results. As a result, the gain on sale as a percentage of
contracts securitized declined to 2.3% for the first quarter of 2001, compared
to 3.0% for the same period in 2000. Total revenues remained relatively
stable at $25.0 million as higher service fee income offset the reduction in
gain on sale revenue. Service fee income, which includes late fees, document
fees and net excess cash flows generated from the sold portion of the
portfolio, increased significantly to $14.2 million compared to $8.7 million
for the same period of 2000, an increase of 63.2%. Management expects that
fee revenue will continue to increase with the growth of the portfolio.
Contract purchases for the quarter ended March 31, 2001 were
$430.5 million, compared to $468.7 million for the same period in 2000. The
reduction in volume for the first quarter reflects management's ongoing focus
on credit quality.
Net interest income for the quarter was $1.5 million compared to
$4.0 million for the same period in 2000. The reduction in net interest
income was principally due to the combined effect of a lower weighted average
annual percentage rate on contracts held during the warehouse period and the
prefunded structure of the securitization executed during the quarter.
Operating expenses totaled $21.6 million or 3.14% of the average serviced
portfolio of $2.8 billion for the first quarter of 2001, compared to
$20.7 million or 3.69% of the $2.2 billion average serviced portfolio for the
same period in 2000. "Our continuing improvement in operating efficiencies
demonstrates the success of our servicing technology and the results of
renegotiated contracts with our major service providers," said John W. Hall,
President and Chief Executive Officer of Onyx Acceptance Corporation.
Total delinquencies as a percentage of the period-end serviced portfolio
decreased to 2.29% from 4.14% at year-end 2000. Annualized net charge-offs as
a percent of the average servicing portfolio increased to 2.68% during the
first quarter of 2001, from 2.33% for the same period in 2000. "Our
improvement in delinquency clearly demonstrates that our focus on credit
quality and underwriting standards is paying off. We are gratified to realize
such a material improvement of $47.7 million or a 185 basis point reduction in
total delinquency from the previous quarter and are confident that our loss
ratios will also decline in the forthcoming quarters," said Mr. Hall.

based in Foothill Ranch, CA. Onyx provides financing to franchised and select

This news release contains forward-looking statements that are subject to
certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ
materially from those projected. The most significant among these risks and
uncertainties are (a) the Company's level of delinquencies, gross charge-offs
and net losses, (b) the Company's ability to achieve adequate interest rate
spreads, (c) the effects of economic factors on consumer debt, and (d) the
continued availability of liquidity sources. Other important factors are
detailed in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2000.
