Westcorp Reports Record Year-end and Fourth Quarter Results
Irvine, CA: Westcorp (NYSE:WES) reported that net income for 2004 rose 68% to a record $208 million compared with $124 million last year. Earnings per share rose 39% to a record $3.96 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2004 compared with $2.85 for 2003. Fourth quarter net income increased 42% to a record $55.5 million for the three months ended December 31, 2004 compared with $39.1 million for the same period a year ago. Earnings per diluted share increased 33% to a record $1.06 for the three months ended December 31, 2004 compared with $0.80 per diluted share for the same period a year earlier.
“Our record net income was primarily the result of a significant improvement in credit performance,” said Tom Wolfe, President of Westcorp. “Our emphasis on risk-focused underwriting, our effective auto lending servicing platform and an improving economy all contributed to the improvement in our credit performance even as we achieved 11% year over year origination growth.”
Annualized credit loss experience improved 63 basis points to 2.01% of average managed automobile contracts for the fourth quarter compared with 2.64% for the same period a year earlier. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2004, credit loss experience improved 61 basis points to 1.99% compared with 2.60% last year. The percentage of outstanding automobile contracts 30 days or more delinquent improved 66 basis points to 2.24% at December 31, 2004 compared with 2.90% a year ago.
Provision for credit losses declined to $61.1 million for the three months ended December 31, 2004, compared with $72.9 million for the same period a year earlier as a result of lower chargeoff experience and stronger portfolio characteristics. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2004, the provision for credit losses declined to $235 million compared with $294 million last year. At December 31, 2004, the allowance for credit losses totaled $315 million or 2.6% of loans receivable compared with $302 million or 2.7% at December 31, 2003.
Automobile contract purchases totaled $1.6 billion for the fourth quarter of 2004, a 17% increase from the same period a year earlier. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2004, automobile contract purchases totaled $6.6 billion, an 11% increase over 2003. The Company’s portfolio of managed automobile contracts grew to $11.6 billion at December 31, 2004, up from $10.6 billion a year earlier.
Net interest income grew 9% to $210 million for the fourth quarter compared with $193 million for the same period a year earlier as total average interest earning assets increased $1.1 billion to $15.4 billion and net interest margin widened 7 basis points to 5.07% on the total portfolio for the fourth quarter compared with the same period a year ago. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2004, net interest income grew 13% to $808 million compared with $714 million for the same period a year earlier as total average interest earning assets increased $1.4 billion to $15.0 billion and net interest margin widened 10 basis points to 5.05% on the total portfolio for the year compared with the same period a year ago.
The Company continued to improve its overall deposit mix in 2004 from certificates of deposit to lower cost demand deposit and money market accounts. Total demand deposit and money market accounts increased $378 million or 36% to $1.4 billion at December 31, 2004 compared with a year ago and now represents 65% of total deposits. The weighted average interest cost of deposits (excluding the effects of hedging) increased to 1.59% for the fourth quarter compared with 1.35% for the same period a year earlier. For the year, the weighted average interest cost of deposits (excluding the effects of hedging) declined to 1.82% compared with 2.31% for the same period a year earlier.
The Company issued $1.4 billion of automobile receivable asset-backed securities during the quarter with a weighted average cost of funds of 3.1%. The Company continues to be the largest non-captive issuer of automobile asset-backed securities in the U.S. having issued a total of $41 billion of such securities in 65 transactions to date.
Noninterest income was $29.9 million for the three months ended December 31, 2004 compared with $26.8 million for the same period a year earlier. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2004, noninterest income was $116 million compared with $110 million for the same period a year ago.
Noninterest expense totaled $75.6 million or 32% of total revenues for the fourth quarter compared with $74.1 million or 34% of total revenues for the same period a year earlier. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2004, noninterest expense totaled $296 million or 32% of total revenues compared with $282 million or 34% of total revenues a year ago.
