Organization Consolidation And Presentation Of Financial Statements [Abstract] |
Nature of Business | Note 1. Nature of Business Regional Management Corp. (the “Company”) was incorporated and began operations in 1987. The Company is engaged in the consumer finance business, offering small loans, large loans, retail loans, and related payment and collateral protection insurance products. The Company previously offered automobile purchase loans, but ceased such originations in November 2017. As of September 30, 2021, the Company operated 372 branch locations under the name “Regional Finance” in 13 states across the United States. The Company’s loan volume and contractual delinquency follow seasonal trends. Demand for the Company’s small and large loans is typically highest during the second, third, and fourth quarters, which the Company believes is largely due to customers borrowing money for vacation, back-to-school, and holiday spending. Loan demand has generally been the lowest during the first quarter, which the Company believes is largely due to the timing of income tax refunds. Delinquencies generally reach their lowest point in the first half of the year and rise in the second half of the year. The current expected credit loss (“CECL”) accounting model requires earlier recognition of credit losses compared to the prior incurred loss approach. This could result in larger allowance for credit loss releases in periods of portfolio liquidation, and larger provisions for credit losses in periods of portfolio growth, compared to prior years. Consequently, the Company experiences seasonal fluctuations in its operating results. However, changes in borrower assistance programs and customer access to external economic stimulus measures related to the novel strain of coronavirus (“COVID-19”) have impacted the Company’s typical seasonal trends for loan volume and delinquency.
