Credit Acceptance (CACC) Down 4.3% Since Last Earnings Report: Can It Rebound?
Read MoreHide Full Article
A month has gone by since the last earnings report for Credit Acceptance (CACC - Free Report) . Shares have lost about 4.3% in that time frame, underperforming the S&P 500.
Will the recent negative trend continue leading up to its next earnings release, or is Credit Acceptance due for a breakout? Before we dive into how investors and analysts have reacted as of late, let's take a quick look at its most recent earnings report in order to get a better handle on the important catalysts.
Credit Acceptance’s first-quarter 2022 earnings of $14.94 per share comfortably surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $13.13. The bottom line reflects a 26.4% increase from the prior-year quarter. These figures include certain non-recurring items.
Results were primarily aided by an increase in revenues and lower expenses. However, higher provisions hurt results to some extent.
Excluding non-recurring items, net income (non-GAAP basis) was $197.6 million or $13.76 per share, up from $164.8 million or $9.64 per share in the prior-year quarter.
GAAP Revenues Improve, Expenses Down
Total revenues were $455.7 million, up 1% year over year. The increase was mainly driven by a rise in other income. The top line also beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $443.6 million.
In the reported quarter, provision for credit losses was $23.3 million, up 9.4% from the year-ago quarter.
Operating expenses of $102.5 million declined 9%. Lower general and administrative expenses more than offset an increase in salaries and wages and sales and marketing costs.
As of Mar 31, 2022, net loans receivable were $6.33 billion, down marginally from the December-2021 level. Total assets were $7.04 billion as of the same date, down from $7.05 billion as of Dec 31, 2021. Total stockholders’ equity was $1.63 billion, down 11.7%.
Share Repurchase Update
During the quarter, Credit Acceptance repurchased 0.8 million shares.
How Have Estimates Been Moving Since Then?
