FOOTHILL RANCH, Calif., July 26 -- Onyx Acceptance Corporation announced today its financial and operational results for the quarter ended June 30, 2004, and declared a $0.25 dividend.
Net income and earnings per diluted share for the quarter were $3.7 million and $0.60 respectively, compared to $921 thousand and $0.17 for the quarter ended June 30, 2003. Financial highlights for the quarter were:
* Net Income increased $2.8 million, or $0.43 per diluted share. * Total Revenues increased 12% over the second quarter of 2003. * Operating expense ratio declined to 2.6% and 2.8% for the quarter and six-month periods ended June 30. * Net Charge-offs decreased by 39% to 1.33% annualized versus the second quarter of 2003. * 30+ day delinquency decreased to 0.90% versus 1.37% as of December 31, 2003. * A $0.25 dividend was declared.
"We are extremely pleased with the financial and operational results of the quarter. The excellent performance of our portfolio has produced a steady rise in our quarterly cash flows and a reduction in collection related expenses. We look forward to continued improvement in all facets of the Company during the second half of 2004," said John Hall, President and Chief Executive Officer.
Revenues:
Total revenues for the second quarter 2004 increased to $28.7 million compared to $25.6 million for the second quarter of 2003. For the six-month period ended June 30, 2004, total revenues were $56.7 million, compared to $50.1 million for the same period in 2003. Total revenues are comprised of net interest income, service fee income and securitization gains. Net interest income was $6.9 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2004, compared to $7.2 million for the same period in 2003. For the six-month period ended June 30, 2004, net interest income was $12.7 million, versus $14.3 million for the same period in 2003. The decrease in net interest income is principally due to the increase in the balance of the Company's renewable unsecured subordinated notes outstanding. Service fee income was $14.3 million for the second quarter of 2004, compared to $13.2 million for the second quarter of 2003. For the six-month period ended June 30, 2004, service fee income increased to $27.4 million, versus $26.4 million for the same period in 2003. Service fee income is principally comprised of contractual servicing fees earned on Managed Receivables. Managed Receivables include contracts held for sale and investment, contracts sold on a whole loan basis and outstanding securitized contracts. Managed Receivables were approximately $3.5 billion as of June 2004, versus $2.9 billion as of June 2003. Service fee income also includes investment interest, late fees, extension fees, document fees and other fees charged to the customer. The gain on the second quarter securitization decreased to $7.5 million compared to a gross gain of $8.3 million for the same period in 2003. The decrease in gain was principally due to a reduction in the interest rate spread on the 2004-B securitization. For the six-month period ended June 30, 2004, total gains were $16.6 million, versus a net gain of $9.3 million for the same period in 2003.
Operating Expenses:
Operating expenses were $22.0 million, or 2.6% of managed receivables for the second quarter of 2004, versus $23.6 million, or 3.3% of managed receivables for the same period in 2003. For the six-month period ended June 30, 2004, total operating expenses were $45.8 million, compared to $46.0 million for the same period in 2003. The decrease in total operating expenses stems from a reduction in collection related charges resulting from improvements in the Company's delinquency and loss rates.
Portfolio Performance:
Total 30+ day delinquency as a percentage of the serviced portfolio decreased to 0.90% at June 30, 2004, versus 1.37% as of December 31, 2003. Annualized net charge-offs as a percent of the average serviced portfolio decreased to 1.33% for the second quarter of 2004, from 2.19% for the same period in 2003. The Company's serviced repossessed inventory decreased to $11.9 million or 0.42% of the serviced portfolio at the end of June 2004, from $16.0 million or 0.55% of the serviced portfolio at June 30, 2003. The Company's allowance for estimated credit losses on securitized assets was 3.6% at June 30, 2004, and 4.1% at December 31, 2003.
Contract Purchases:
Contract purchases, including Onyx Gold volume, for the quarter ended June 30, 2004 were $687.6 million, compared to $425.5 million for the second quarter of 2003.
Dividend:
The Company's Board of Directors voted to approve a cash dividend of $0.25 per share for the second quarter of 2004. The dividend will be paid on August 27, 2004 for shareholders of record as of August 13, 2004.
Stock Repurchases:
During the second quarter, the Company purchased 166,000 shares of its Common Stock as part of its stock repurchase program authorized by its Board of Directors in April 2004. Repurchases may continue from time to time at prevailing market prices, through open market or unsolicited negotiated transactions, depending upon market conditions. The Company may discontinue purchases at any time that management determines additional purchases are not warranted.
