MISSISSAUGA, ON, May 7, 2025 /CNW/ – goeasy Ltd. (TSX: GSY), (“goeasy” or the “Company”), one of Canada’s leading consumer lenders focused on delivering a full suite of financial services to Canadians with non-prime credit, today reported results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2025.

First Quarter Results

During the quarter, the Company generated $677 million in loan originations, down 1% compared to $686 million produced in the first quarter of 2024. The loan originations were driven by continued strength in the volume of applications for credit, which were up 10% over the prior year. The Company experienced strong performance across several product and acquisition channels, including home equity lending, point-of-sale and automotive financing.

Loan originations during the quarter led to growth in the loan portfolio of $190 million, above the Company’s forecasted range of between $160 million and $185 million. At quarter end, the consumer loan portfolio was $4.79 billion, up 24% from $3.85 billion in the first quarter of 2024. The growth in consumer loans led to an increase in revenue to $392 million, up 10% from $357 million in the first quarter of last year. Interest income increased year over year by $36 million or 14%. 

During the quarter, the Company continued to experience stable credit and payment performance. The annualized net charge off rate was 8.9%, down 20 bps from 9.1% in the first quarter of 2024, and within the Company’s forecasted range of between 8.75% and 9.75% for the quarter. The Company’s allowance for future credit losses increased to 7.86%, compared to 7.61% in the fourth quarter of 2024, due to weaker macroeconomic performance and unfavourable changes in forward looking macroeconomic indicators produced by Moody’s Analytics.

Operating income for the first quarter of 2025 was $145 million, up 5% from $138 million in the first quarter of 2024. Operating margin for the first quarter was 37.0%, down slightly from 38.6% in the same period last year. After adjusting for unusual and non-recurring items, the Company reported adjusted operating income2 of $148 million, an increase of 3% compared to $144 million in the first quarter of 2024. Adjusted operating margin1 for the first quarter was 37.9%, down from 40.2% in the same period in 2024. The efficiency ratio1 for the first quarter of 2025 was 26.1%, an improvement of 130 bps from 27.4% in the first quarter of 2024, reflecting an increase in operating leverage.

Net income in the first quarter was $39.4 million, down from $58.9 million in the same period of 2024, which resulted in diluted earnings per share of $2.32, down from the $3.40 reported in the first quarter of 2024. After adjustments related primarily to the non-cash fair value change on prepayment options related to notes payable, adjusted net income2 was $60.0 million, down 9% from $66.3 million in the first quarter of 2024, primarily due to a decline in total yield on consumer loans (including ancillary products) as well as the increase in allowance for future credit losses as a result of weaker macroeconomic performance and unfavourable changes in forward looking macroeconomic indicators. Adjusted diluted earnings per share1 was $3.53, down 8% from $3.83 in the first quarter of 2024. Return on equity during the quarter was 13.4%, compared to 21.9% in the first quarter of 2024. Adjusted return on equity1 was 20.4% in the quarter, compared to 24.6% in the same period of 2024.

“During the quarter we were proud to serve 43,500 new customers, while producing $190 million in portfolio growth, highlighting the critical role we play in providing everyday Canadians access to credit,” said David Ingram, goeasy’s Executive Chairman, “Our results continued to demonstrate the resilience of our business model during periods of macroeconomic uncertainty. We also bolstered our balance sheet and liquidity, with $565 million of new capital, lifting our funding capacity to $2.0 billion to support our organic growth plans. With the increased level of liquidity and conservative leverage profile, we also repurchased approximately $96 million in shares during and subsequent to quarter-end,” Mr. Ingram continued, “While the total yield in the quarter was at the lower end of our forecasted range, we are addressing through product, pricing and collections optimization efforts and remain on track to achieving all of our forecasted metrics for 2025.”

Balance Sheet and Liquidity

Total assets were $5.33 billion as of March 31, 2025, an increase of 21% from $4.42 billion as of March 31, 2024, primarily driven by growth in the consumer loan portfolio.

Subsequent to quarter-end, the Company issued US$400 million aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured notes due 2030 (the “Notes”). In connection with the offering, the Company entered into a currency swap agreement (the “Currency Swap”) to reduce the Canadian dollar equivalent cost of borrowing on the Notes to 6.03% per annum. Before giving effect to the Currency Swap, the coupon on the Notes is 7.375% per annum. The Company used the net proceeds from the sale of the Notes to partially repay indebtedness under its secured facilities and for general corporate purposes.

Free cash flow from operations before net growth in gross consumer loans receivable2 in the quarter was $31 million compared to $77 million in the first quarter of 2024. Based on the cash on hand at the end of the quarter and the borrowing capacity under the Company’s existing revolving credit facilities, including the aforementioned Notes offering completed following the quarter, the Company has approximately $2.0 billion in total funding capacity as of May 1, 2025 and a debt to adjusted tangible equity ratio of 3.53x as of March 31, 2025. The Company remains confident that the capacity available under its existing funding facilities, and its ability to raise additional debt financing, is sufficient to fund its organic growth forecast.  

At quarter-end, the Company’s weighted average cost of borrowing was 6.8%, and the fully drawn weighted average cost of borrowing was 6.3%. The Company estimates that it could currently grow the consumer loan portfolio by approximately $300 million per year solely from internal cash flows, without utilizing external debt. The Company also estimates that once its existing and available sources of debt are fully utilized, it could continue to grow the loan portfolio by approximately $500 million per year solely from internal cash flows.

Dividend

The Board of Directors has approved a quarterly dividend of $1.46 per share payable on July 11, 2025 to the holders of common shares of record as at the close of business on June 27, 2025.

The Company’s actual business, financial condition or results of operations may differ materially from those suggested by forward-looking statements as a result of risks and uncertainties which include, among others: failure to attract new customers, retain existing customers or sell additional services to customers; failure to meet growth and productivity objectives; competition; impacts of relationships with critical suppliers and partners; failure to address and adapt to technological developments and trends; inability to attract and retain key personnel and other skilled employees; impact of economic, political, public health and other conditions; damage to the Company’s reputation; inability to accurately estimate the cost of services and the timeline for completion of contracts; service delivery issues; the Company’s ability to successfully manage acquisitions and dispositions, including integration challenges, failure to achieve objectives, the assumption of liabilities and higher debt levels; failure of the Company’s intellectual property rights to prevent competitive offerings and the failure of the Company to obtain, retain and extend necessary licenses; the impairment of our goodwill or long-lived assets; risks relating to cybersecurity, data governance and privacy; risks relating to non-compliance with legal and regulatory requirements; adverse effects from tax matters; legal proceedings and investigatory risks; the impact of changes in market liquidity conditions and customer credit risk on receivables; the Company’s pension plans; the impact of currency fluctuations; and risks related to the Company’s common stock and the securities market.

Additional risks and uncertainties include, among others, those risks and uncertainties described in the “Risk Factors” section of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2024, and may be further updated from time to time in the Company’s subsequent filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.  Any forward-looking statement in this press release speaks only as of the date on which it is made.  Except as required by law, the Company assumes no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. In this release, certain amounts may not add due to the use of rounded numbers; percentages presented are calculated based on the underlying amounts.  Forecasted amounts are based on currency exchange rates as of April 2025.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In an effort to provide investors with additional information regarding its results, the Company has provided certain metrics that are not calculated based on generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), such as constant-currency results, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted pretax income, adjusted net income, adjusted EPS, adjusted EBITDA margin, adjusted pretax margin, adjusted net margin, net debt, adjusted operating cash flow and adjusted free cash flow.  Such non-GAAP metrics are intended to supplement GAAP metrics, but not to replace them.  The Company’s non-GAAP metrics may not be comparable to similarly titled metrics used by other companies.  Definitions of non-GAAP metrics and reconciliations of non-GAAP metrics for historical periods to GAAP metrics are included in the tables in this release.

A reconciliation of forward-looking non-GAAP financial information is not included in this release because the Company is unable to predict with reasonable certainty some individual components of such reconciliation without unreasonable effort.  These items are uncertain, depend on various factors and could have a material impact on future results computed in accordance with GAAP.

Table 4
NON-GAAP METRIC DEFINITIONS AND RECONCILIATIONS
(dollars in millions, except signings)

We report our financial results in accordance with GAAP.  We also present certain non-GAAP financial measures to provide useful supplemental information to investors.  We provide these non-GAAP financial measures as we believe it enhances investors’ visibility to management decisions and their impacts on operational performance; enables better comparison to peer companies; and allows us to provide a long-term strategic view of the business going forward. Moreover, we use certain of these non-GAAP financial metrics in measuring performance under our executive compensation plans.

Constant-currency information compares results between periods as if exchange rates had remained constant period over period.  We define constant-currency revenues as total revenues excluding the impact of foreign exchange rate movements and use it to determine the constant-currency revenue growth on a year-over-year basis.  Constant-currency revenues are calculated by translating current period revenues using corresponding prior-period exchange rates.

Adjusted pretax income is defined as pretax income excluding transaction-related costs and benefits, charges related to ceasing to use leased / fixed assets, charges related to lease terminations, pension costs other than pension servicing costs and multi-employer plan costs, stock-based compensation expense, amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets, workforce rebalancing charges incurred prior to March 31, 2024, impairment expense, significant litigation costs and benefits, and currency impacts of highly inflationary countries.  Adjusted pretax margin is calculated by dividing adjusted pretax income by revenue.

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) excluding net interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization (excluding depreciation of right-of-use assets and amortization of capitalized contract costs), charges related to ceasing to use leased / fixed assets, charges related to lease terminations, transaction-related costs and benefits, pension costs other than pension servicing costs and multi-employer plan costs, stock-based compensation expense, workforce rebalancing charges incurred prior to March 31, 2024, impairment expense, significant litigation costs and benefits, and currency impacts of highly inflationary countries.  Adjusted EBITDA margin is calculated by dividing adjusted EBITDA by revenue.

Adjusted net income is defined as adjusted pretax income less the reported provision for income taxes, minus or plus the tax effect of the non-GAAP adjustments made to calculate adjusted pretax income, and excluding exceptional items impacting the reported provision for income taxes.  Adjusted net margin is calculated by dividing adjusted net income by revenue.

Adjusted earnings per share (EPS) is defined as adjusted net income divided by diluted weighted average shares outstanding to reflect shares that are dilutive or anti-dilutive based on the amount of adjusted net income.  The weighted average common shares outstanding used to calculate adjusted earnings (loss) per share will differ from such shares used to calculate diluted earnings (loss) per share (GAAP) when the inclusion of dilutive shares has an anti-dilutive effect for one calculation but not for the other.

Adjusted free cash flow is defined as cash flows from operating activities (GAAP) after adding back transaction-related payments, charges related to lease terminations, payments related to workforce rebalancing charges incurred prior to March 31, 2024, and significant litigation payments (collectively referred to as adjusted operating cash flow), less net capital expenditures.  Management uses adjusted operating cash flow and adjusted free cash flow as measures to evaluate our operating results, plan strategic investments and assess our ability and need to incur and service debt.  We believe adjusted operating cash flow and adjusted free cash flow are useful supplemental financial measures to aid investors in assessing our ability to pursue business opportunities and investments and to service our debt.  Adjusted operating cash flow and adjusted free cash flow are financial measures that are not recognized under U.S. GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to cash flows from operations or liquidity derived in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

Signings are defined by Kyndryl as an initial estimate of the value of a customer’s commitment under a contract.  The calculation involves estimates and judgments to gauge the extent of a customer’s commitment. We calculate this based on various considerations including the type and duration of the agreement as well as the presence of termination charges or wind-down costs.  Contract extensions and increases in scope are treated as signings only to the extent of the incremental new value.  Signings can vary over time due to a variety of factors including, but not limited to, the timing of signing a small number of larger outsourcing contracts, as well as the length of those contracts.  The conversion of signings into revenue may vary based on the types of services and solutions, customer decisions and other factors, which may include, but are not limited to, macroeconomic environment or external events.  Management uses signings as a tool to monitor the performance of the business including the business’ ability to attract new customers and sell additional scope into our existing customer base.
