Prior to September 30, 2016, the general component reflected estimated credit losses for groups of finance receivables on a collective basis and was primarily based on historical loss rates (adjusted for qualitative factors). Effective September 30, 2016, the general component is primarily based on delinquency roll rates. Delinquency roll rate modeling is forward-looking and common practice in the consumer finance industry. As a result of this change, the Company decreased the provision for credit losses for the year ended December 31, 2016 by $0.5 million, which increased net income by $0.3 million, or $0.03 diluted earnings per share. Changes in the allowance for credit losses for the periods indicated are as follows: Year Ended December 31, In thousands 2017 2016 2015 Balance at beginning of period $ 41,250 $ 37,452 $ 40,511 Provision for credit losses 77,339 63,014 47,348 Credit losses (75,880 ) (64,064 ) (55,043 ) Recoveries 6,201 4,848 4,636 Balance at end of period $ 48,910 $ 41,250 $ 37,452 In September 2017, the Company recorded a $3.0 million increase to the allowance for credit losses related to estimated incremental credit losses on customer accounts impacted by the hurricanes. The incremental hurricane allowance resulted in a decrease to net income of $1.9 million, or $0.16 diluted earnings per share, for the three months ended September 30, 2017. On an annual basis, the Company updates the estimated loss emergence period for each finance receivable type. During 2015, the loss emergence period of large loan finance receivables increased from ten to twelve months as the Company originated longer term loans. As a result, the Company increased the allowance for credit losses by $0.5 million, which decreased net income for the year ended December 31, 2015 by $0.3 million, or $0.02 diluted earnings per share. The increase in the allowance for credit losses due to the change in the loss emergence period was offset by a decrease in the Company’s normal allowance for credit losses on qualitative factors surrounding finance receivables growth and credit quality. The overall large loan allowance for credit losses as a percentage of loans declined from 4.3% to 3.8% as of December 31, 2014 and 2015, respectively. During 2017, the loss emergence period for each finance receivable type changed as follows: small loan finance receivables increased from six to seven months; large loan finance receivables decreased from twelve to ten months; and retail loan finance receivables increased from ten to eleven months. These net changes in the loss emergence periods increased the Company’s total allowance for credit losses by $0.1 million, which decreased net income for the year ended December 31, 2017 by $0.1 million, or $0.01 diluted earnings per share. In December 2015, the Company began selling previously charged-off charged-off charged-off charged-off charged-off The following is a reconciliation of the allowance for credit losses by product for the periods indicated: In thousands Balance Provision Credit Losses Recoveries Balance Finance Allowance as Small loans $ 21,770 $ 45,104 $ (45,612 ) $ 3,487 $ 24,749 $ 375,772 6.6 % Large loans 11,460 25,024 (20,088 ) 1,152 17,548 347,218 5.1 % Automobile loans 5,910 4,210 (7,424 ) 1,329 4,025 61,423 6.6 % Retail loans 2,110 3,001 (2,756 ) 233 2,588 33,050 7.8 % Total $ 41,250 $ 77,339 $ (75,880 ) $ 6,201 $ 48,910 $ 817,463 6.0 % In thousands Balance Provision Credit Losses Recoveries Balance Finance Allowance as Small loans $ 21,535 $ 41,119 $ (43,797 ) $ 2,913 $ 21,770 $ 358,471 6.1 % Large loans 5,593 14,261 (8,946 ) 552 11,460 235,349 4.9 % Automobile loans 8,828 4,785 (8,886 ) 1,183 5,910 90,432 6.5 % Retail loans 1,496 2,849 (2,435 ) 200 2,110 33,523 6.3 % Total $ 37,452 $ 63,014 $ (64,064 ) $ 4,848 $ 41,250 $ 717,775 5.7 % In thousands Balance Provision Credit Losses Recoveries Balance Finance Allowance as Small loans $ 25,280 $ 33,428 $ (40,059 ) $ 2,886 $ 21,535 $ 338,157 6.4 % Large loans 1,980 6,032 (2,762 ) 343 5,593 146,553 3.8 % Automobile loans 11,776 6,285 (10,466 ) 1,233 8,828 116,109 7.6 % Retail loans 1,475 1,603 (1,756 ) 174 1,496 27,625 5.4 % Total $ 40,511 $ 47,348 $ (55,043 ) $ 4,636 $ 37,452 $ 628,444 6.0 % Impaired finance receivables as a percentage of total finance receivables were 2.1% and 1.6% for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.
