Earnings Call Sentiment|Neutral
The earnings call highlighted positive developments such as customer base growth, improved gross yields, and increased non-refinance loan volume. However, it also pointed out challenges like a decrease in the outstanding ledger and sticky delinquency rates. The company's efforts to shift towards smaller loans and the introduction of a credit card pilot suggest strategic initiatives to address these challenges.Company Guidance
During the World Acceptance Corporation's Fourth Quarter 2025 Earnings Conference Call, several key metrics and guidance details were provided by CEO Chad Prashad. The company concluded the fiscal year with a $1.22 billion outstanding ledger, marking a 4% decrease year-over-year, while the customer base grew by 3.5%. The average balance per customer decreased by 7.3% as part of ongoing efforts to improve gross yields, which saw an increase of over 100 basis points. The annualized charge-off rate was noted at 17.5%, with an anticipated natural reduction of 125 to 150 basis points with normal portfolio growth. The newest customer bucket saw a 36% increase, impacting delinquency rates, though improvements were noted in early-stage delinquency buckets. A 25% increase in tax return revenue contributed nearly $7 million, and a $2.8 million after-tax accrual release boosted EPS by $0.38 to $8.13 for the quarter. Non-refinance loan volume rose 12.6% year-over-year, and refinance volume improved slightly by 3% despite a temporary demand dip in March. The portfolio's composition shifted towards small loans, with large loans reduced to 48%. Approval rates for new customers improved by around 50% in the latter quarters compared to fiscal 2024. The company also initiated a pilot for its new World finance credit card, aiming to align yield with risk and expand market reach prudently.Customer Base Growth
