Credit Acceptance Q3 2025 Earnings Report
Credit Acceptance reported a significant increase in GAAP net income and diluted EPS for Q3 2025, driven by decreased credit loss provisions and higher finance charges, despite declines in consumer loan assignment volumes.
Key Takeaways
Credit Acceptance Corporation announced a net income of $108.2 million, or $9.43 per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2025. This represents a substantial increase compared to the same period last year, primarily due to a decrease in the provision for credit losses and an increase in finance charges. However, the company experienced declines in both unit and dollar volumes of consumer loan assignments and a decrease in economic profit.
GAAP net income increased by 37.3% to $108.2 million, and diluted EPS rose by 48.5% to $9.43 compared to Q3 2024.
Adjusted net income grew by 2.7% to $117.9 million, with adjusted diluted EPS increasing by 11.1% to $10.28.
Consumer loan assignment unit volume declined by 16.5% and dollar volume by 19.4% year-over-year, attributed to fewer active dealers and lower average volume per dealer.
The average balance of the loan portfolio increased by 3.9% from Q3 2024 to $8.0 billion, contributing to a 6.3% increase in finance charges.
