Strong Loan Origination Growth
Navient originated $443 million in refinance loans this quarter, double the volume from the same period last year. Total loan originations for the first half of the year have more than doubled.
Legislation Expands Opportunities
Recent legislation removing the Grad PLUS loan program is expected to expand opportunities in private in-school graduate loans, with a significant increase in demand anticipated.
Successful ABS Issuance
Navient's inaugural in-school ABS deal in June was nearly 6x oversubscribed, raising gross cash proceeds of roughly 98% of loan principal.
Expense Reductions and Efficiency
Navient achieved milestones in reducing operating expenses, meeting ambitious $400 million expense reduction targets, and completing transition service agreements on schedule.
Increased Full-Year Loan Origination Forecast
Full-year origination forecast revised from $1.8 billion to $2.2 billion due to strong growth in refinance originations.
