(October 25, 2005) - World Acceptance Corporation (NASDAQ/NM: WRLD) today reported higher revenue, net income and loans for its second fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2005. Net income for the second quarter rose 7.6% to $7.4 million, or $0.39 per diluted share, compared with $6.9 million, or $0.36 per diluted share, for the same quarter of the prior year. Total revenues for the quarter increased 14.0% to $56.7 million from $49.8 million for the prior year quarter. Gross loans outstanding increased to $395.6 million at September 30, 2005, a 13.2% increase over the $349.4 million in balances outstanding at September 30, 2004, and a 12.5% increase since the beginning of the fiscal year. "We recorded solid loan growth in the second quarter from existing operations," stated Douglas R. Jones, President and CEO. "Our internal growth rate improved from the second quarter of last year due to new offices opened, including our first two offices in Mexico opened this quarter. In addition, we benefited from the enactment of a new law in Texas, effective September 1, 2005, that increased the maximum dollar amount of a loan that may be made in that state." "We believe the excellent growth from existing operations highlights the success of our business model and the smooth integration into our operations of accounts and offices that we have acquired over the years. Our growth from acquisitions slowed this year due to fewer candidates in target markets that met our criteria. We acquired approximately 6,300 accounts for $3.0 million in gross loans receivable during the first six months of the current fiscal year compared with approximately 22,000 accounts for $19.0 million in gross loans during the first six months of fiscal 2005. We continue to review potential acquisition candidates in existing and contiguous markets for future growth opportunities," concluded Mr. Jones. Key return ratios for the second quarter included an annualized return on average assets of 9.5% and an annualized return on average equity of 15.8%. Total general and administrative expenses as a percent of total revenues were 53.1%, a slight decrease from the 53.3% during the second quarter of the prior fiscal year. Net charge-offs as a percent of average net loans increased to 16.1% during the quarter from 15.4% during the prior year quarter on an annualized basis. Six-Month Results For the first six months of the fiscal year, net income was $14.7 million, or $0.76 per diluted share representing a 4.0% increase over the $14.2 million, or $0.73 per diluted share for the prior year six-month period. Total revenues for the first six months of fiscal 2006 were $108.5 million, an 11.6% increase over the $97.2 million during the corresponding period of the previous year. Net charge-offs as a percent of average net loans were 15.0% compared to 14.0% during the prior year six month period. During the first six months of the fiscal year, the Company opened 37 offices, acquired one office and closed or sold six non-performing offices, leaving a total of 611 offices at September 30, 2005.
