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 $607 million and adjusted net income of $455 million for the first quarter of 2021, compared to $60 million and $45 million, respectively, in the prior year quarter. Adjusted earnings per diluted share were $3.37 for the first quarter of 2021, compared to $0.33 in the prior year quarter.

Management runs the business based on C&I adjusted net income excluding the change in allowance for finance receivable losses net of tax while still considering the current period net charge-offs. Management believes this reflects the capital generation of the business, which was $299 million for the first quarter of 2021, representing a 35% increase versus the prior year period.

Originations totaled $2.3 billion in the first quarter of 2021, down 12% from $2.6 billion in the prior year quarter. The percentage of secured originations was 50% in the first quarter of 2021, down from 53% in the prior year quarter.

Ending net finance receivables reached $17.6 billion at March 31, 2021, down 4% from $18.3 billion at March 31, 2020. Secured receivables were 52% of ending net finance receivables at March 31, 2021, flat with 52% at March 31, 2020.

Average net finance receivables were $17.8 billion in the first quarter of 2021, down 3% from $18.4 billion in the prior year quarter.

Yield was 24.04% in the first quarter of 2021, relatively flat from 24.07% in the prior year quarter.

Interest income in the first quarter of 2021 was $1.1 billion, reflecting a $44 million decrease compared to the prior year quarter due to lower average net finance receivables.

The provision for finance receivable losses was ($3) million in the first quarter of 2021, down from $530 million in the prior year quarter, primarily due to the decrease in our charge-offs and the expectation of improved unemployment and anticipated economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic.

The 30-89 day delinquency ratio was 1.57% at March 31, 2021, down from 2.28% at December 31, 2020 and down from 2.26% at March 31, 2020.

The 90+ day delinquency ratio was 1.82% at March 31, 2021, up from 1.75% at December 31, 2020 and down from 2.16% at March 31, 2020.

The net charge-off ratio was 4.67% in the first quarter of 2021, up from 4.18% in the fourth quarter of 2020 and down from 6.46% in the prior year quarter.

Operating expense for the first quarter of 2021 was $323 million, down 2% from $330 million in the prior year quarter reflecting our efforts to manage costs through the pandemic, offset by our strategic investments in the business.

Other

During the first quarter of 2021, Other generated an adjusted pretax loss of $2 million, compared to an adjusted pretax loss of $1 million in the prior year quarter. Other consists of our liquidating servicing activity from the SpringCastle Portfolio and our non-originating legacy operations, which primarily include our liquidating real estate loans.

Funding and Liquidity

As of March 31, 2021, the company had principal debt balances outstanding of $17.1 billion, 43% of which was secured and 57% of which was unsecured. The company had $1.3 billion of cash and cash equivalents, which included $119 million of cash and cash equivalents held at our regulated insurance subsidiaries or for other operating activities that are unavailable for general corporate purposes.

Our cash and cash equivalents, together with our potential borrowings of $7.2 billion of undrawn committed capacity under our 13 revolving conduit facilities and $9.2 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, 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 adjusted pretax income, as discussed above, and excludes the change in our allowance for finance receivable losses in the period while still considering the 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.

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;

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 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.
