Onyx Acceptance Reports Second Quarter Earnings
28 July 2000
Onyx Acceptance Reports Second Quarter EarningsFOOTHILL RANCH, Calif. - Onyx Acceptance Corporation announced today its financial and operational results for the quarter ended June 30, 2000. Net income and earnings per diluted share were $1.6 million and $0.25 respectively, compared to $2.4 million and $0.37 for the same period in 1999. Total revenues increased by 7.0% to $24.3 million from $22.7 million in the second quarter of 1999. The reduction in net income and earnings per share was the result of an increase in the loss reserve rate coupled with interest rate spread compression on contracts securitized in the second quarter. During the second quarter, the company issued $12 million in unsecured, subordinated notes. The notes pay interest quarterly at a coupon rate of 12 1/2% and were issued at a 4% discount to par without warrants. Principal on the notes is due at maturity in June 2006. Net proceeds from the issuance are being used for general corporate purposes and were used to pay down an existing line of credit that Onyx used to finance residual interests from its securitizations. The increase in revenues was principally due to the growth of the Company's servicing portfolio and volume of contracts purchased resulting from the continued development of business with its dealer relationships in new and existing markets. Service fee income increased 77% to $10.3 million for the second quarter 2000 compared to $5.8 million for the same period in 1999. Service fee income comprised 42.3% of total second quarter revenues, up from 25.6% during the second quarter of 1999. The increase is due primarily to higher amounts of contractual service fees, late fees and document fees related to the growth in the servicing portfolio. Contract purchases increased by 16% to $434.1 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2000, compared to $374.1 million for the same quarter in 1999. The reduction in net interest income was primarily due to the prefunded structure of the securitization executed during the second quarter. A prefunded securitization reduces the time period that the contracts are held for sale, and as a result, reduces the interest income earned on the related contracts. A prefunded structure allows the Company to mitigate its interest rate risk in a rising rate environment by locking in the rate for future fixed rate contract acquisitions. Additionally, it permits the Company to time its securitizations earlier in the quarter when transaction volumes are lower, thus enabling the Company to take advantage of market conditions. Higher market interest rates and an increase in the loss reserve rate resulted in lower net margins on the sale of contracts. Management believes that the increase in the loss reserve rate on its securitized contracts was warranted given the inherent risk a rising interest rate environment has on credit quality. Onyx recorded a gain on sale of $14.0 million (3.1% of the issue amount) on its second quarter securitization of $450 million, compared to a gain of $14.5 million (4.1% of the issue amount) on $350 million of contracts securitized during the same period of 1999. Total operating expenses as a percentage of average servicing portfolio declined to 3.5% for the second quarter 2000, compared to 4.5% for the quarter ended June 30, 1999. Total delinquencies as a percentage of the period-end servicing portfolio declined to 2.57% from 3.24% at year-end 1999, while annualized net charge-offs as a percent of the average servicing portfolio increased to 2.23% during the second quarter of 2000, from 1.71% for the same period in 1999. Off balance sheet reserves as a percentage of securitized assets were 4.3% as of June 30, 2000. During the second quarter, the Company purchased approximately 891,000 shares of its Common Stock as a part of its stock repurchase program authorized by its Board of Directors in May. The Company has expended approximately $4.1 million of the authorized $7.5 million in connection with this program. 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.
