“Our robust financial results for the quarter once again demonstrate the resilience and strength of OneMain’s business model,” said Doug Shulman, Chairman and CEO of OneMain. “While our core lending business is experiencing strong demand, we remain highly focused on investing in our future, driving our growth initiatives and continuously improving the financial well-being of our customers.”

The following segment results are reported on a non-GAAP basis. Refer to the required reconciliations of non-GAAP to comparable GAAP measures at the end of this press release.

Consumer and Insurance Segment (“C&I”)

C&I generated adjusted pretax income of $477 million and adjusted net income of $358 million for the second quarter of 2021, compared to $143 million and $107 million, respectively, in the prior year quarter. Adjusted earnings per diluted share were $2.66 for the second quarter of 2021, compared to $0.80 in the prior year quarter.

Management runs the business based on C&I capital generation, which it defines as C&I adjusted net income excluding the after-tax change in C&I allowance for finance receivable losses while still considering the current period C&I net charge-offs. C&I capital generation was $310 million for the second quarter of 2021, representing a 46% increase versus the prior year period.

Originations totaled $3.8 billion in the second quarter of 2021, up 87% from $2.0 billion in the prior year quarter.

Sales of gross finance receivables totaled $120 million in the quarter, and the recognized gain on sales, recorded in other revenue, were $11 million. The Company continues to service these loans.

Managed receivables, which include loans serviced for our whole loan sale partners, were $18.3 billion at June 30, 2021. Ending net finance receivables reached $18.2 billion at June 30, 2021, up 2% from $17.7 billion at June 30, 2020. Secured receivables were 52% of ending net finance receivables at June 30, 2021, down from 53% at June 30, 2020.

Average net finance receivables were $17.7 billion in the second quarter of 2021, down 1% from $17.9 billion in the prior year quarter.

Yield was 24.18% in the second quarter of 2021, up from 24.09% in the prior year quarter. The increase generally reflected improvement in late stage delinquencies.

Interest income in the second quarter of 2021 was $1.1 billion, approximately flat to the prior year quarter, reflecting modestly lower average net finance receivables, offset by the modest improvement in yield in the second quarter of 2021 compared to the prior year period.

The provision for finance receivable losses was $130 million in the second quarter of 2021, down from $422 million in the prior year quarter, primarily due to the decrease in our charge-offs and an improved outlook for unemployment and macroeconomic conditions.

The 30-89 day delinquency ratio was 1.76% at June 30, 2021, up from 1.57% at March 31, 2021, and 1.63% at June 30, 2020.

The 90+ day delinquency ratio was 1.36% at June 30, 2021, down from 1.82% at March 31, 2021, and 1.89% at June 30, 2020.

The net charge-off ratio was 4.41% in the second quarter of 2021, down from 4.67% in the first quarter of 2021 and 6.33% in the prior year quarter.

Operating expense for the second quarter of 2021 was $332 million, up 12% from $297 million in the prior year quarter reflecting our strategic investments in the business and growth in our receivables, as well as the prior year benefit of cost actions we took in response to the emergence of the pandemic.

Funding and Liquidity

As of June 30, 2021, the Company had principal debt balances outstanding of $17.9 billion, 42% of which was secured. The Company had $1.8 billion of cash and cash equivalents, which included $158 million of cash and cash equivalents held at their regulated insurance subsidiaries or for other operating activities that are unavailable for general corporate purposes.

Cash and cash equivalents, together with the Company’s potential borrowings of $7.3 billion of undrawn committed capacity under their 13 revolving conduit facilities and $9.7 billion of unencumbered gross finance receivables, provides a liquidity runway in excess of 24 months under numerous stress scenarios and assuming no access to the capital markets. This liquidity runway calculation contemplates all the cash needs of the Company.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We report the operating results of Consumer and Insurance and Other using the Segment Accounting Basis, which (i) reflects our allocation methodologies for interest expense and operating costs, to reflect the manner in which we assess our business results and (ii) excludes the impact of applying purchase accounting (eliminates premiums/discounts on our finance receivables and long-term debt at acquisition, as well as the amortization/accretion in future periods). Consumer and Insurance adjusted pretax income (loss), Consumer and Insurance adjusted net income (loss), Consumer and Insurance adjusted earnings (loss) per diluted share and Other adjusted pretax income (loss) are key performance measures used to evaluate the performance of our business. Consumer and Insurance adjusted pretax income (loss) and Other adjusted pretax income (loss) represent income (loss) before income taxes on a Segment Accounting Basis and excludes direct costs associated with COVID-19, net loss resulting from repurchases and repayments of debt, acquisition-related transaction and integration expenses, restructuring charges, and lower of cost and fair value adjustment on loans held for sale. We believe these non-GAAP financial measures are useful in assessing the profitability of our segment.

We also use pretax capital generation and capital generation, non-GAAP financial measures, as a key performance measure of our segment. Pretax capital generation represents Consumer and Insurance adjusted pretax income, as discussed above, and excludes the change in our Consumer and Insurance allowance for finance receivable losses in the period while still considering the Consumer and Insurance net charge-offs during the period. Capital generation represents the after-tax effect of pretax capital generation. We believe that these non-GAAP measures are useful in assessing the capital created in the period impacting the overall capital adequacy of the Company. We believe that the Company’s reserves, combined with its equity, represent the Company's loss absorption capacity.

We utilize these non-GAAP measures in evaluating our performance. Additionally, these non-GAAP measures are consistent with the performance goals established in OMH’s executive compensation program. These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered supplemental to, but not as a substitute for or superior to, income (loss) before income taxes, net income, or other measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP.

our estimates of the allowance for finance receivable losses may not be adequate to absorb actual losses, causing our provision for finance receivable losses to increase, which would adversely affect our results of operations; increased levels of unemployment and personal bankruptcies; adverse changes in the rate at which we can collect or potentially sell our finance receivables portfolio; natural or accidental events such as earthquakes, hurricanes, tornadoes, fires, or floods affecting our customers, collateral, or our branches or other operating facilities;

a failure in or breach of our operational or security systems or infrastructure or those of third parties, including as a result of cyber-attacks, or other cyber-related incidents involving the loss, theft or unauthorized disclosure of personally identifiable information (“PII”) of our present or former customers; our credit risk scoring models may be inadequate to properly assess the risk of customer unwillingness or lack of capacity to repay; adverse changes in our ability to attract and retain employees or key executives to support our businesses; increased competition, or changes in customer responsiveness to our distribution channels, an inability to make technological improvements, and the ability of our competitors to offer a more attractive range of personal loan products than we offer;

a change in the proportion of secured loans may affect our finance receivables and portfolio yield; declines in collateral values or increases in actual or projected delinquencies or net charge-offs; potential liability relating to finance receivables which we have sold or securitized or may sell or securitize in the future if it is determined that there was a non-curable breach of a representation or warranty made in connection with such transactions; the costs and effects of any actual or alleged violations of any federal, state or local laws, rules or regulations, including any associated litigation and damage to our reputation; the costs and effects of any fines, penalties, judgments, decrees, orders, inquiries, investigations, subpoenas, or enforcement or other proceedings of any governmental or quasi-governmental agency or authority and any associated litigation and damage to our reputation; our continued ability to access the capital markets and maintain adequate current sources of funds to satisfy our cash flow requirements; our ability to comply with our debt covenants; our ability to generate sufficient cash to service all of our indebtedness; any material impairment or write-down of the value of our assets; the ownership of OMH's common stock continues to be highly concentrated, which may prevent other minority stockholders from influencing significant corporate decisions and may result in conflicts of interest; the effects of any downgrade of our debt ratings by credit rating agencies, which could have a negative impact on our cost of and/or access to capital; our substantial indebtedness, which could prevent us from meeting our obligations under our debt instruments and limit our ability to react to changes in the economy or our industry or limit our ability to incur additional borrowings; our ability to maintain sufficient capital levels in our regulated and unregulated subsidiaries; changes in accounting standards or tax policies and practices and the application of such new standards, policies and practices; management estimates and assumptions, including estimates and assumptions about future events, may prove to be incorrect; and other risks and uncertainties described in the “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis” sections of the Company’s most recent Form 10-K and Form 10-Qs filed with the SEC and in the Company’s other filings with the SEC from time to time.

If one or more of these or other risks or uncertainties materialize, or if our underlying assumptions prove to be incorrect, our actual results may vary materially from what we may have expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. You should specifically consider the factors identified in this document that could cause actual results to differ before making an investment decision to purchase our securities and should not place undue reliance on any of our forward-looking statements. Furthermore, new risks and uncertainties arise from time to time, and it is impossible for us to predict those events or how they may affect us.
