Santander Consumer USA Holdings Inc. Reports First Quarter 2018 Net Income of $242 million

Net finance and other interest income decreased 8 percent to $1.0 billion in Q1 2018 from $1.1 billion in Q1 2017, primarily driven by lower average RIC balances and an increase in benchmark rates.

Servicing fee income decreased 17 percent to $26 million in Q1 2018, from $32 million in Q1 2017, driven by lower prime originations and lower prime asset sales. SC's serviced for others portfolio of $8.7 billion as of Q1 2018 is down 21 percent from $11.0 billion the prior year quarter.

RIC delinquency ratio² of 3.8 percent in Q1 2018 was stable compared to 3.9 percent in Q1 2017.

Recorded net investment losses of $87 million in Q1 2018, compared to net investment losses of $76 million in Q1 2017.

During Q1 2018 SC incurred $288 million of operating expenses, down 6 percent from $305 million in Q1 2017. SC's expense ratio of 2.4 percent for the quarter, was flat compared to 2.4 percent during the same period last year.

⁴ Ratio for allowance for credit losses excludes end of period balances on purchased receivables portfolio of $39 million and finance receivables and personal loans held for sale of $1.6 billion.
⁵The current period losses were primarily driven by $59 million of lower of cost or market adjustments related to the held for sale personal lending portfolio, comprised of $106 million in customer default activity, partially offset by a $47 million decrease in market discount, consistent with typical seasonal patterns.
