Key Takeaways
Credit Acceptance Corporation announced a consolidated net income of $96.4 million, or $5.40 per diluted share, for the three months ended June 30, 2020, compared to $164.4 million, or $8.68 per diluted share, for the same period in 2019.

Net income decreased due to increased provision for credit losses, primarily from adopting the CECL accounting standard and changes in forecasted future cash flows.
Consumer loan assignment volumes increased by 5.7% in unit volume and 5.2% in dollar volume, driven by growth in average unit volume per active dealer.
COVID-19 pandemic impacted the business, leading to a reduction in demand and cash flows in mid-March through mid-April, followed by significant improvements.
Forecasted collection rates improved for Consumer Loans assigned in 2019 and 2020, but changes in collection rates impacted net cash flows.
