CHICAGO (July 27, 2017) — Enova International (NYSE: ENVA), a leading financial technology company offering consumer and small business loans and financing, today announced financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2017.

“We are pleased with the progress we are seeing in each of our six growth businesses, which was driven this quarter by continued healthy demand and good credit performance,” said David Fisher, Enova’s CEO. “We believe our leading competitive position, built on our world class analytics and technology platform, positions us well to execute our focused growth strategy and maintain strong profitability.”

Second Quarter 2017 Summary

  • Total revenue of $189.9 million in the second quarter of 2017 increased 10.1% from $172.5 million in the second quarter of 2016.
  • Gross profit margin was 57.9% in the second quarter of 2017 compared to 62.1% in the second quarter of 2016, driven by stronger growth in the U.S. installment loan and receivables purchase agreements and a higher mix of new customers, which requires higher loan loss provisions.
  • Net income of $11.9 million, or $0.35 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2017 increased from $8.2 million, or $0.25 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2016. Second quarter 2017 adjusted EBITDA of $41.6 million, a non-GAAP measure, increased from $35.2 million in the second quarter of 2016.
  • Second quarter 2017 adjusted earnings per share of $0.41, a non-GAAP measure, increased 46.4% from $0.28 in the second quarter of 2016.

“Our financial results demonstrate the strong operating leverage in our online business model and solid credit performance,” said Steve Cunningham, CFO of Enova. “Diluted earnings per share and adjusted EBITDA came in at the high end of our guidance range, driven by efficient marketing and effective operating expense management.”

Enova ended the second quarter of 2017 with unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of $46.2 million. As of June 30, 2017, the company had total debt outstanding of $638.7 million, which included $152.0 million outstanding under Enova’s $295 million securitization facilities. During the second quarter, Enova generated $66.2 million of cash flow from operations.

Outlook

For the third quarter of 2017, Enova expects total revenue of $200 million to $220 million, GAAP diluted earnings per share of $0.02 to $0.21, adjusted EBITDA of $25 million to $35 million, and adjusted earnings per share of $0.07 to $0.25. For the full year 2017, Enova expects total revenue of $810 million to $860 million, GAAP diluted earnings per share of $0.88 to $1.24, adjusted EBITDA of $145 million to $165 million, and adjusted earnings per share of $1.07 to $1.43.

Cautionary Statement Concerning Forward Looking Statements
This release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 about the business, financial condition and prospects of Enova. These forward-looking statements give current expectations or forecasts of future events and reflect the views and assumptions of Enova’s senior management with respect to the business, financial condition and prospects of Enova as of the date of this release and are not guarantees of future performance. The actual results of Enova could differ materially from those indicated by such forward-looking statements because of various risks and uncertainties applicable to Enova’s business, including, without limitation, those risks and uncertainties indicated in Enova’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), including our annual report on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Forms 10-Q and current reports on Forms 8-K. These risks and uncertainties are beyond the ability of Enova to control, and, in many cases, Enova cannot predict all of the risks and uncertainties that could cause its actual results to differ materially from those indicated by the forward-looking statements. When used in this release, the words “believes,” “estimates,” “plans,” “expects,” “anticipates” and similar expressions or variations as they relate to Enova or its management are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Enova cautions you not to put undue reliance on these statements. Enova disclaims any intention or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements after the date of this release.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to the financial information prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, Enova provides historical non-GAAP financial information. Management believes that presentation of non-GAAP financial information is meaningful and useful in understanding the activities and business metrics of Enova’s operations. Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures reflect an additional way of viewing aspects of Enova’s business that, when viewed with its GAAP results, provide a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting its business.

Management provides non-GAAP financial information for informational purposes and to enhance understanding of Enova’s GAAP consolidated financial statements. Readers should consider the information in addition to, but not instead of or superior to, Enova’s financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. This non-GAAP financial information may be determined or calculated differently by other companies, limiting the usefulness of those measures for comparative purposes.

Combined Loans and Finance Receivables
Enova has provided combined loans and finance receivables, which is a non-GAAP measure. Enova also reports allowances and liabilities for estimated losses on loans and finance receivables individually and on a combined basis, which are GAAP measures that are included in Enova’s financial statements. Management believes these measures provide investors with important information needed to evaluate the magnitude of potential cost of revenue and the opportunity for revenue performance of the loan and finance receivables portfolio on an aggregate basis. Management believes that the comparison of the aggregate amounts from period to period is more meaningful than comparing only the residual amount on Enova’s balance sheet since both revenue and the cost of revenue for loans and finance receivables are impacted by the aggregate amount of loans and finance receivables owned by Enova and those guaranteed by Enova as reflected in its financial statements.

Adjusted Earnings and Adjusted Earnings Per Share
In addition to reporting financial results in accordance with GAAP, Enova has provided adjusted earnings and adjusted earnings per share, or, collectively, the Adjusted Earnings Measures, which are non-GAAP measures. Management believes that the presentation of these measures provides investors with greater transparency and facilitates comparison of operating results across a broad spectrum of companies with varying capital structures, compensation strategies, derivative instruments and amortization methods, which provides a more complete understanding of Enova’s financial performance, competitive position and prospects for the future. Management also believes that investors regularly rely on non-GAAP financial measures, such as the Adjusted Earnings Measures, to assess operating performance and that such measures may highlight trends in Enova’s business that may not otherwise be apparent when relying on financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. In addition, management believes that the adjustments shown below are useful to investors in order to allow them to compare Enova’s financial results during the periods shown without the effect of certain expense items.

Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure that Enova defines as earnings excluding depreciation, amortization, interest, foreign currency transaction gains or losses, taxes, and stock-based compensation, and Adjusted EBITDA margin is a non-GAAP measure that Enova defines as Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of total revenue. Management believes Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin are used by investors to analyze operating performance and evaluate Enova’s ability to incur and service debt and Enova’s capacity for making capital expenditures. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin are also useful to investors to help assess Enova’s estimated enterprise value. The computation of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin as presented below may differ from the computation of similarly-titled measures provided by other companies.
