Analysis · RM · Finance
The credit picture is the real story here. Third-quarter net income of $15.1 million, or $1.61 per diluted share, rose 5.3% and 13.4% year-over-year on record revenue of $178.8 million, but the net credit loss rate climbed to 10.9% from 10.2% a year ago and 30+ day delinquency reached 7.5%. Management attributes the damage to 2025-originated loans, mainly in the digital affiliate channel, and has tightened underwriting and added fraud controls. Against that backdrop, the company replaced its Chief Credit Risk Officer: Manish Parmar is out without cause today, and Citi and PNC veteran Elizabeth Canini takes over effective November 2, putting a new hand on the credit levers just as the new origination scorecard rolls out in the fourth quarter. The $0.30 quarterly dividend is unchanged, signaling the board does not see the credit trend as a capital threat.
