Basis of Consolidation

 

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of WCR, its wholly owned subsidiaries and other entities in which the Company owns a controlling financial interest. For financial interests in which the Company owns a controlling financial interest, the Company applies the provisions of ASC 810 applicable to reporting the equity and net income or loss attributable to noncontrolling interests. All significant intercompany balances and transactions of the Company have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that may affect certain reported amounts and disclosures in the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant management estimates relate to the notes and loans receivable allowance, carrying value and impairment of long-lived goodwill and intangible assets, inventory valuation and obsolescence, estimated useful lives of property and equipment, gift certificate and customer credits liability and deferred taxes and tax uncertainties.

 

Reclassifications

 

Certain Statements of Income reclassifications have been made in the presentation of our prior financial statements and accompanying notes to conform to the presentation as of and for the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2016.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued a comprehensive new revenue recognition standard that will supersede nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance under US GAAP. This standard, including subsequent updates, is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company is currently assessing the potential effects on our financial condition, results of operations and consolidated financial statements.

 

In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-17, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes” (“ASU 2015-17”). The standard requires that deferred tax assets and liabilities be classified as noncurrent on the balance sheet rather than being separated into current and noncurrent. ASU 2015-17 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted and the standard may be applied either retrospectively or on a prospective basis to all deferred tax assets and liabilities. The Company early adopted ASU 2015-17 during our first quarter of fiscal year 2016 on a retrospective basis. Accordingly, we reclassified the current deferred taxes to noncurrent on our December 31, 2015 Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet, which decreased current deferred tax assets by $0.56 million and decreased noncurrent deferred tax liabilities by $0.56 million.

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842)” (“ASU 2016-02”). The standard requires recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. ASU 2016-02 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted and the standard is to be applied using a modified retrospectively approach. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that ASU 2016-02 will have on our financial condition, results of operations and consolidated financial statements.

 

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments” (“ASU 2016-13”). The standard requires a financial asset (or a group of financial assets) measured at amortized cost basis to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected. ASU 2016-13 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted earlier as of the fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years and the standard is to be applied using a modified retrospectively approach. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that ASU 2016-13 will have on our financial condition, results of operations and consolidated financial statements.

 

No other accounting pronouncements issued or effective during the fiscal quarter have had or are expected to have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

2.Risks Inherent in the Operating Environment –

 

Regulatory

 

The Company’s Consumer Finance segment activities are highly regulated under numerous local, state, and federal laws, regulations and rules, which are subject to change. New laws, regulations or rules could be enacted or issued, interpretations of existing laws, regulations or rules may change and enforcement action by regulatory agencies may intensify. Over the past several years, consumer advocacy groups and certain media reports have advocated governmental and regulatory action to prohibit or severely restrict sub-prime lending activities of the kind conducted by the Company. The federal Consumer Financial Protection Bureau has indicated that it will use its authority to further regulate the payday industry and has been actively enforcing existing regulations within its jurisdiction.

8

Any adverse change in present local, state, and federal laws or regulations that govern or otherwise affect lending could result in the Consumer Finance segment’s curtailment or cessation of operations in certain or all jurisdictions or locations. Furthermore, any failure to comply with any applicable local, state or federal laws or regulations could result in fines, litigation, closure of one or more store locations or negative publicity. Any such change or failure would have a corresponding impact on the Company’s and segment’s results of operations and financial condition, and could also negatively affect the Company’s general business prospects due to lost or decreased operating income or if negative publicity effects its ability to obtain additional financing as needed.

 

In addition, the passage of federal or state laws and regulations or changes in interpretations of them could, at any point, essentially prohibit the Consumer Finance segment from conducting its lending business in its current form. Any such legal or regulatory change would certainly have a material and adverse effect on the Company, its operating results, financial condition and prospects, and perhaps even the viability of the Consumer Finance segment.

Credit Facility

 

On April 22, 2016, WCR entered into a Credit Agreement with a financial institution. Certain company subsidiaries are guarantors of the borrowings and obligations under the Credit Agreement. All borrowings under the Credit Agreement are secured by substantially all assets of WCR and the guarantor subsidiaries.

 

The Credit Agreement requires WCR to meet certain financial tests, including a leverage ratio and a fixed charge coverage ratio, as defined in the Credit Agreement. Subject to certain exceptions, the Credit Agreement contains covenants limiting the company’s ability to (or to permit the guarantor subsidiaries to) merge or consolidate with, or engage in a sale of substantially all assets to, any party, but WCR or any guarantor subsidiary generally may nonetheless merge with another party if (i) WCR or guarantor subsidiary is the entity surviving such merger, and (ii) immediately after giving effect to such merger, no default shall have occurred and be continuing under the Credit Agreement. Subject to certain exceptions, the Credit Agreement also contains covenants limiting WCR’s ability to (or to permit the guarantor subsidiaries to) create liens on assets, incur additional indebtedness, make certain types of investments, and pay dividends or make certain other types of restricted payments, but WCR may nonetheless pay dividends to its shareholders if (a) there are no outstanding loans or unpaid interest under the revolving credit facility, (see Note 7), and (b) no default shall have occurred and be continuing under the Credit Agreement. Some covenant waivers were granted by the financial institution during the three months ended September 30, 2016.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

Forward-Looking Statements

 

Some of the statements made in this report are “forward-looking statements,” as that term is defined under Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. These forward-looking statements are based upon our current expectations and projections about future events. Whenever used in this report, the words “believe,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “estimate,” “expect” and similar expressions, or the negative of such words and expressions, are intended to identify forward-looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements contain such words or expressions. The forward-looking statements in this report are primarily located in the material set forth under the heading “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” (Part I, Item 2), but may be found in other parts of this report as well. These forward-looking statements generally relate to our plans, objectives and expectations for future operations and are based upon management’s current estimates and projections of future results or trends. Although we believe that our plans and objectives reflected in or suggested by these forward-looking statements are reasonable, we may not achieve these plans or objectives. You should read this report completely and with the understanding that actual future results may be materially different from what we expect. We will not necessarily update forward-looking statements even though our situation may change in the future.

 

Specific factors that might cause actual results to differ from our expectations embodied in our forward-looking statements, or that might affect the value of the common stock, include but are not limited to:

 

·the seasonal nature of the products sold in our Direct to Consumer segment - a significant portion of pre-tax net income contributed by the segment is earned during the months of March through May and December, consequently the third quarter of each year typically results in a net loss;

 

·the success of new stores related to our expansion plans in the Retail Wireless segment;

 

·changes in local, state or federal laws and regulations governing lending practices, or changes in the interpretation of such laws and regulations;

 

·litigation and regulatory actions directed toward us or the industries in which we operate, particularly in certain key states or nationally;

 

·our need for additional financing;

 

·unpredictability or uncertainty in financing markets which could impair our ability to grow our business through acquisitions;

 

·changes in Cricket dealer compensation;

 

·the impact on us, as a Cricket dealer, of the AT&T acquisition of the Cricket Wireless business;

 

·failure of or disruption caused by a significant vendor;

 

·outside factors that affect our ability to obtain product and fulfill orders; and

 

·our ability to successfully operate or integrate recent or future business acquisitions.

 

Other factors that could cause actual results to differ from those implied by the forward-looking statements in this report are more fully described in the “Risk Factors” section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015.

 

Industry data and other statistical information used in this report are based on independent publications, government publications, reports by market research firms or other published independent sources.  Some data are also based on our good faith estimates, derived from our review of internal surveys and the independent sources listed above.  Although we believe these sources are reliable, we have not independently verified the information.

Discussion of Critical Accounting Policies

 

Our condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America applied on a consistent basis.  The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make a number of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods.  We evaluate these estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis.  We base these estimates on the information currently available to us and on various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances.  Actual results could vary materially from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

 

Our significant accounting policies are discussed in Note 1, “Basis of Presentation, Nature of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” of the notes to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report.  We believe that the following critical accounting policies affect the more significant estimates and assumptions used in the preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

Loan Loss Allowance

 

Included in loans receivable are unpaid principal, interest and fee balances of payday, installment, pawn and title loans that have not reached their maturity date, and “late” payday loans that have reached maturity within the last 180 days and have remaining outstanding balances.  Late payday loans generally are unpaid loans where a customer’s personal check has been deposited and the check has been returned due to non-sufficient funds in the customer’s account, a closed account, or other reasons. All returned items are charged-off after 180 days, as collections after that date have not been significant. Loans are carried at cost plus accrued interest or fees through maturity date, less payments made and a loans receivable allowance.

 

The Company does not specifically reserve for any individual payday, installment or title loan.  The Company aggregates loan types for purposes of estimating the loss allowance using a methodology that analyzes historical portfolio statistics and management’s judgment regarding recent trends noted in the portfolio. This methodology takes into account several factors, including (1) the amount of loan principal, interest and fee outstanding, (2) historical charge offs from loans that originated during the last 24 months, (3) current and expected collection patterns and (4) current economic trends. The Company utilizes a software program to assist with the tracking of its historical portfolio statistics. A loan loss allowance is maintained for anticipated losses for payday and installment loans based primarily on our historical percentages by loan type of net charge offs, applied against the applicable balance of loan principal, interest and fees outstanding. The Company also periodically performs a look-back analysis on its loan loss allowance to verify the historical allowance established tracks with the actual subsequent loan write-offs and recoveries. The Company is aware that as conditions change, it may also need to make additional allowances in future periods. Loan losses or charge-offs of pawn or title loans are not recorded because the value of the collateral exceeds the loan amount. See Note 4 to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report for a rollforward of our loans receivable allowance.

 

Valuation of Long-lived and Intangible Assets

 

We assess the possibility of impairment of long-lived and intangible assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. Factors that could trigger an impairment review include significant underperformance relative to expected historical or projected future cash flows, significant changes in the manner of use of acquired assets or the strategy for the overall business, and significant negative industry events or trends. In addition, we conduct an annual goodwill impairment test as of October 1 each year. We assess our goodwill for impairment at the reporting unit level by applying a fair value test. This fair value test involves a two-step process. The first step is to compare the carrying value of our net assets to our fair value. If the fair value is determined to be less than the carrying value, a second step is performed to measure the amount of the impairment, if any.

 

Results of Operations – Three Months Ended JuneSeptember 30, 2016 Compared to Three Months Ended JuneSeptember 30, 2015

 

Net income attributable to our common shareholders was $1.78$0.78 million, or $0.19$0.08 per share (basic and diluted), for the quarter ended JuneSeptember 30, 2016, compared to $0.43$0.87 million, or $0.07$0.09 per share (basic and diluted), for the quarter ended JuneSeptember 30, 2015. Pro forma net income attributable to our common shareholders for the three months ended June 30, 2015 was $1.82 million, or $0.19 per share (basic and diluted). See Note 12 of the notes to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report for additional pro forma information.

 

We expect segment operating results and earnings per share to change throughout 2016 due, at least in part, to the seasonality of the Direct to Consumer and Cellular Retail segments, growth in the Cellular Retail segment and potential mergers and acquisitions activity.

 

Following is a discussion of operating results by segment.

These discounts also reduce cost of phones and do not impact gross profit or net income. While phone sales revenue decreased period over period, dealer compensation and customer fees increased 17.9%. Other factors contributing to the decline in net income are growth related and dealer compensation revenue not related to phone activations on a per store basis bothinclude increased quarter over quarter.

Results of Operations – SixNine Months Ended JuneSeptember 30, 2016 Compared to SixNine Months Ended JuneSeptember 30, 2015

 

Net income attributable to our common shareholders was $3.76$4.54 million, or $0.40$0.48 per share (basic and diluted), for the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2016, compared to $1.26$2.14 million, or $0.21$0.30 per share (basic and diluted), for the comparable period in 2015 and compared to pro forma net income for the prior comparable period of $3.56$4.43 million or $0.37$0.47 per share (basic and diluted). As further discussed below, The Franchise, Direct to Consumer and Consumer Finance operating segments each contributed to the increase in net income for the year over year period, while the Retail Wireless segment decreased.

 

As previously noted, we expect segment operating results and earnings per share to change throughout 2016 due, at least in part, to the seasonality of the Direct to Consumer and Cellular Retail segments, growth in the Cellular Retail segment and potential mergers and acquisitions activity.

 

Following is a discussion of operating results by segment.
