OneMain Holdings, Inc. Reports First Quarter 2016 Results

OneMain Holdings, Inc. (NYSE:OMF) today reported GAAP basis net income of $153 million, or $1.13 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2016. Net Income includes a $229 million pretax net gain on the previously announced sale of the company’s interests in SpringCastle.

After tax Core Earnings (a non-GAAP measure) for the first quarter of 2016 was $141 million, and after tax Core Earnings per Diluted Share (a non-GAAP measure) was $1.05. Weighted average diluted shares outstanding increased to 134.9 million for the first quarter of 2016 from 115.0 million for the prior year quarter as a result of the company’s issuance of 19.4 million common shares on May 4, 2015.

Jay Levine, President and CEO of OneMain Holdings, Inc. said, “This quarter represents the first full quarter since we completed the acquisition of OneMain, and we could not be more pleased with the results we have achieved thus far. The combination of Springleaf and OneMain has had an immediate, and very positive impact on our core earnings which, excluding SpringCastle, grew from $0.35 per share in last year’s first quarter to $0.94 in this year’s first quarter. We also made significant progress on driving incremental growth at the former OneMain, with higher levels of originations, particularly in the strategically key area of secured lending. Integration activities are on schedule, resulting in greater operational efficiencies, even as we continue to provide our customary high level of personalized service.”

Levine added, “We also made material progress on strengthening our capital base, enhancing our liquidity and extending our debt maturities, all of which simplify our financial picture and help position us for sustained earnings growth and strong returns.”

Legacy Real Estate and Other Non-Core

The Real Estate segment generated a pretax operating loss of $18 million in the first quarter of 2016. The loss resulted primarily from the reduction in interest earning assets attributable to real estate sales completed in 2014. Upon closing of the acquisition of OneMain, the majority of the debt allocated to the Real Estate segment and other non-core activities was re-allocated to the Consumer and Insurance segment. The real estate loan portfolio was $712 million at March 31, 2016, down from $840 million at the prior year quarter-end.³

Our other non-core activities generated a pretax operating loss of $4 million in the first quarter of 2016.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of March 31, 2016, the company had $716 million of cash and cash equivalents, which included $450 million of available cash and highly liquid investment securities. The company had total outstanding debt of $14.9 billion at March 31, 2016, in a variety of debt instruments. As previously disclosed, the company completed the sale of 127 Springleaf Financial branches and certain related assets for proceeds of $624 million on May 2, 2016. In addition, on April 11, 2016, the company’s subsidiary, Springleaf Finance Corporation (“SFC”), issued $1 billion of 8.25% senior notes due 2020 and used approximately $600M to repurchase certain of SFC’s outstanding notes, primarily consisting of its 6.90% senior notes due December 2017.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We report the operating results of our Core Consumer Operations (consisting of the results of our Consumer and Insurance and our Acquisitions and Servicing segments), Non-Core Portfolio (consisting of our Real Estate segment), and our other non-core activities using the Segment Accounting Basis, which differs from the “historical accounting basis” disclosed in our SEC filings prior to the company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015 filed with the SEC on February 29, 2016 (“2015 Form 10-K”), which (i) reflects our allocation methodologies for certain costs, primarily interest expense, loan loss reserves and acquisition costs to reflect the manner in which we assess our business results and (ii) excludes the impact of applying purchase accounting. These allocations and adjustments have a material effect on our reported segment basis income as compared to GAAP. We believe the Segment Accounting Basis (a basis other than U.S. GAAP) provides investors the basis for which management evaluates segment performance. For more information, please see Note 23 - Segment Information of the notes to our consolidated financial statements included in our 2015 Form 10-K.

Pretax Core Earnings, Core Earnings (which equals Pretax Core Earnings adjusted for estimated taxes), and Core Earnings per Diluted Share are key performance measures used by management in evaluating the performance of our business. Pretax Core Earnings represents our income before provision for income taxes on a Segment Accounting Basis and excludes results of operations from our Non-Core Portfolio (Real Estate segment) and other non-core, non-originating legacy operations, net gain on sale of SpringCastle interests related to Core Consumer Operations, acquisition-related transaction and integration expenses, losses resulting from accelerated long-term repayment and repurchases of long-term debt related to Core Consumer Operations, SpringCastle transaction costs, and results of operations attributable to non-controlling interests. Pretax Core Earnings, Core Earnings, and Core Earnings per Diluted Share assist us in comparing our business performance on a consistent basis. Management believes these non-GAAP financial measures are useful in assessing the profitability of our core business operations and our management uses these non-GAAP financial measures in evaluating our operating performance. These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered supplemental to, but not as a substitute for or superior to, operating income, segment profit or loss, net income, or other measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
