Management Commentary
Jeff Howard, President and Chief Executive Officer at Atlanticus stated, “We are pleased with our results this quarter as we continue to produce both good profitability and reasonable growth. Our focus, as always, is on achieving target returns on assets, which leads to an adequate return for our shareholders. Although the consumers we serve seem to have found greater financial stability, it is at a somewhat higher rate of delinquency than existed prior to the pandemic. As such, we have maintained a more conservative credit posture which has led to slower, but respectable, double-digit growth in both managed receivables and revenue. We are also seeing increased opportunities for our credit as a service platform in the retail credit channel, largely driven by the pullback from “prime”, or “first-look” providers.
“A major focus of this quarter has been planning for the late fee safe-harbor rule change. While an injunction has been granted which stays the implementation, and litigation may ultimately reverse the rule, we, along with our bank partners, have been planning for the potential change for months. These plans include increasing APR’s, increasing certain fees including annual and monthly fees, shifting offers, introducing paper statement fees, and offering new features for the customers we serve. We believe our plans provide for the complete recovery over time of the estimated impact from the new rule, if implemented.
“As we look ahead, we are excited about the long-term opportunities for our platform. Our ongoing investments in technology, growing breadth of product offerings, data driven decision making, and extensive experience position us well to expand our capabilities and provide a truly best in class experience to the consumers we serve.”

Managed Receivables
Managed receivables increased 12.8% to $2.3 billion with over $262.4 million in net receivables growth from March 31, 2023, largely driven by growth both in the private label credit and general purpose credit card products offered by our bank partners. Total accounts served increased 10.2% to 3.5 million. While some of our merchant partners continue to face year-over-year growth challenges, others are still benefiting from continued consumer spending and a growing economy. Our general purpose credit card portfolio continues to grow in terms of total customers served and therefore we continue to experience growth in total managed receivables. We expect continued growth in our managed receivables when compared to prior periods in 2023 which were restricted due to tightened underwriting standards adopted during the second quarter 2022 (and continued in subsequent quarters).
Total Operating Revenue
Total operating revenue consists of: 1) interest income, finance charges and late fees on consumer loans, 2) other fees on credit products including annual and merchant fees and 3) ancillary, interchange and servicing income on loan portfolios.
We are currently experiencing continued period-over-period growth in private label credit and general purpose credit card receivables and to a lesser extent in our CAR receivables—growth that we expect to result in net period-over-period growth in our total interest income and related fees for these operations for 2024. Future periods’ growth is also dependent on the addition of new retail partners to expand the reach of private label credit operations as well as growth within existing partnerships and the level of marketing investment for the general purpose credit card operations.
During the quarter ended March 31, 2024, total operating revenue increased 11.2% to $290.2 million. We experienced higher growth in our acquisitions of general purpose credit card receivables (which tend to have higher yields and corresponding charge-offs) than in our acquisitions of private label credit receivables. This relative mix of receivables led to an increase in our corresponding yield.
Recent rules enacted by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ("CFPB"), which, if implemented, will limit the late fees charged to consumers in most instances, is expected to significantly impact the revenue recognized on our receivables. In order to mitigate these changes, our bank partners have taken a number of steps, from modifying products and policies (such as further tightening the criteria used to evaluate new loans) to changing prices (including increasing interest rates and fees charged to consumers). While we believe these product, policy and pricing changes will offset the negative impact of a reduced late fee, the changes will take time to be fully incorporated into our existing portfolios of receivables.
Interest Expense
Interest expense was $35.1 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2024, compared to $24.2 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2023. The higher expenses were primarily driven by the planned increases in outstanding debt in proportion to growth in our receivables coupled with increases in the cost of borrowing.
Outstanding notes payable, net of unamortized debt issuance costs and discounts, associated with our private label credit and general purpose credit card platform increased to $1,795.4 million as of March 31, 2024 from $1,543.8 million as of March 31, 2023. The majority of this increase in outstanding debt relates to the addition of multiple revolving credit facilities during 2023. Recent increases in the effective interest rates on debt have started to increase our interest expense as we have raised additional capital (or replaced existing facilities) over the last two years. We anticipate additional debt financing over the next few quarters as we continue to grow coupled with increased effective interest rates. As such, we expect our quarterly interest expense for these operations to increase compared to prior periods. However, we do not expect our interest expense to increase significantly in the short term (absent raising additional capital) because over 90% of interest rates on our outstanding debt are fixed. Adding to interest expense in 2024, in January and February, 2024, we sold a combined $57.2 million aggregate principal amount of 9.25% Senior Notes due 2029.
Changes in Fair Value of Loans
Changes in fair value of loans, interest and fees receivable recorded at fair value increased to $159.2 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2024, respectively, compared to $149.8 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2023, respectively. This increase was largely driven by growth in underlying receivables as well as changes in assumptions due to recent rules enacted by the CFPB, which will limit the late fee charged to consumers in most instances.
We include asset performance degradation in our forecasts to reflect the possibility of delinquency rates increasing in the near term (and the corresponding increase in charge-offs and decrease in payments) above the level that current trends would suggest. Based on observed asset performance and improvement in U.S. economic expectations, some expected degradation has been removed in recent periods. Additionally, as receivables associated with both 1) assets acquired prior to our tightened underwriting standards (mentioned above) and 2) those assets negatively impacted by inflation, gradually become a smaller percentage of the portfolio, we expect to see overall improvements in the measured fair value of our portfolios of acquired receivables.
Total Operating Expenses
Total operating expenses increased 16.3% in the quarter when compared to the same period in 2023.
For the quarter, operating expenses increased, driven primarily by increases in variable servicing costs associated with growth in our receivables as well as growth in both the number of employees and inflationary compensation pressure. Certain other nonrecurring accounting and legal expenditures also contributed to increases for the quarter.
We expect increased levels of expenditures associated with anticipated growth in private label credit and general purpose credit card operations. These expenses will primarily relate to the variable costs of marketing efforts and card and loan servicing expenses associated with new receivable acquisitions.
In addition, as we continue to adjust our underwriting standards to reflect changes in fee and finance assumptions on new receivables, we expect period over period marketing costs for 2024 to increase relative to those experienced in 2023, particularly towards the third and fourth quarters of 2024 , although the frequency and timing of increased marketing efforts could vary and are dependent on macroeconomic factors such as national unemployment rates and federal funds rates.
Net Income Attributable to Common Shareholders
Net income attributable to common shareholders decreased 0.5% to $19.9 million, or $1.09 per diluted share for the quarter ended March 31, 2024.
Share Repurchases
We repurchased and retired 18,033 shares of our common stock at an aggregate cost of $0.5 million, in the quarter ended March 31, 2024.
We will continue to evaluate the best use of our capital to increase shareholder value over time.

Additional Information
Additional trends and data with respect to our private label credit and general purpose credit card receivables can be found in our latest Form 10-K filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission under Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
Calculation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release presents information about managed receivables, which is a non-GAAP financial measure provided as a supplement to the results provided in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP). In addition to financial measures presented in accordance with GAAP, we present managed receivables, total managed yield, combined principal net charge-offs, and fair value to face value ratio, all of which are non-GAAP financial measures. These non-GAAP financial measures aid in the evaluation of the performance of our credit portfolios, including our risk management, servicing and collection activities and our valuation of purchased receivables. The credit performance of our managed receivables provides information concerning the quality of loan originations and the related credit risks inherent with the portfolios. Management relies heavily upon financial data and results prepared on the managed basis in order to manage our business, make planning decisions, evaluate our performance and allocate resources.
These non-GAAP financial measures are presented for supplemental informational purposes only. These non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, GAAP financial measures. These non-GAAP financial measures may differ from the non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. A reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures or the calculation of the non-GAAP financial measures are provided below for each of the fiscal periods indicated.
These non-GAAP financial measures include only the performance of those receivables underlying consolidated subsidiaries (for receivables carried at amortized cost basis and fair value) and exclude the performance of receivables held by our former equity method investee. As the receivables underlying our former equity method investee reflect a small and diminishing portion of our overall receivables base, we do not believe their inclusion or exclusion in the overall results is material. Additionally, we calculate average managed receivables based on the quarter-end balances.
The comparison of non-GAAP managed receivables to our GAAP financial statements requires an understanding that managed receivables reflect the face value of loans, interest and fees receivable without any consideration for potential loan losses or other adjustments to reflect fair value.
A reconciliation of Loans at fair value to Total managed receivables is as follows:
