Advanta Reports Third Quarter 2008 Results

Advanta Corp. (NASDAQ:ADVNB; ADVNA) today reported a third quarter 2008 net loss of $17.6 million dollars or $0.43 per diluted share for Class A and Class B shares combined. The loss per share includes $0.33 per share of balance sheet charges and reserve build related to recent credit trends and wider market credit spreads. The Company also had a non-recurring $0.18 per share rewards charge, and extra costs during the ramp-up period of its offshoring initiative which is expected to reap substantial on-going cost benefits in the future. Partially offsetting these items was a $0.07 per share gain related to the sale of the remaining portion of the Companys MasterCard shares.

Other noteworthy items for the quarter include:

  • Cash and liquid investments totaling $1.8 billion at quarter end or 32% of aggregate owned and securitized receivables.
  • Advanta Bank Corp. total risk-based and Tier 1 capital ratios of 24.5% and 22.3%, respectively.
  • Advanta Corp. equity together with subordinated debt for trust preferred securities to managed receivables of 12.0% and to owned receivables of 92.3%.
  • Business Cards ending managed receivables of $5.6 billion and owned receivables of $0.7 billion.
  • Business Cards managed net interest yield of 11.46% and owned net interest yield of 8.24%.
  • Customer transaction volume of $3.3 billion, 89% of which was merchandise sales volume.
  • Business Cards managed net credit loss rate of 10.0% and owned net credit loss rate of 10.6%.
  • The reported results do not include an estimated $1.6 million pretax charge for its portion of the recent settlement between Visa and Discover.

"This economy has dealt small business owners a tough hand, said Dennis Alter, Chairman and CEO. "Not only are consumers spending less money with them, but their options for funding business inventories and obligations have shrunk. Although this has flowed through to us in the form of rising credit losses, our balance sheet is strong and we continue to manage through this uncertain economy.

The most significant of these risks and uncertainties are: (1) the impact of litigation, including judgments, settlements and actual or anticipated insurance recoveries for costs or judgments, as well as the impact of indemnification or other obligations for losses associated with litigation due to the Companys status as a member of Visa USA; (2) the impact of the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act or other related legislative and regulatory developments, including heightened regulatory scrutiny, practices, requirements or expectations; (3) difficulties achieving expected operating cost reductions due to, among other things, operational delays associated with new systems and processes, changes in personnel, changes in timing for our plans for implementation of our outsourcing initiatives and changes in the estimated timing for completion of a reduction in workforce; and (4) the effect of legal and regulatory developments relating to the legality of certain business methods, practices and policies of credit card issuers, including restrictions and limitations imposed by banking laws, regulators and examinations.

(B) Managed statistics are non-GAAP financial measures and represent the sum of owned (GAAP) business credit card statistics and securitized business credit card statistics. We believe that performance on a managed basis provides useful supplemental information to investors because we retain interests in the securitized receivables and, therefore, we have a financial interest in and exposure to the performance of the securitized receivables.
(C) Operating expense ratio is annualized and calculated as a percentage of average owned and securitized receivables.

RECONCILIATION OF MANAGED FINANCIAL MEASURES AND RATIOS
(in thousands)
 

In addition to evaluating the financial performance of the Advanta Business Cards segment under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), we evaluate Advanta Business Cards' performance on a managed basis. Our managed business credit card receivable portfolio is comprised of both owned and securitized business credit card receivables. We believe that performance on a managed basis provides useful supplemental information to investors because we retain interests in the securitized receivables and, therefore, we have a financial interest in and exposure to the performance of the securitized receivables. Revenue and credit data on the managed portfolio provides additional information useful in understanding the performance of the retained interests in securitizations. Risk-adjusted revenues represent net interest income and noninterest revenues, less provision for credit losses. Management uses risk-adjusted revenues as a basis for monitoring the risk-based return on the portfolio and components of our portfolio. Generally, based on risk-based pricing strategies, customers with higher credit losses should have higher revenues. We believe the measure is useful to investors as a measure of our ability to appropriately price for the risk of the portfolio by demonstrating the relationship between revenues and credit losses in one concise measure.
