World Acceptance Corporation announced strong fourth-quarter fiscal 2025 results, with net income rising to $44.3 million and total revenues increasing to $165.3 million. The company's diluted EPS reached $8.13, benefiting from a significant increase in tax preparation revenue and a one-time gain from share forfeiture. Despite a decrease in gross loans outstanding, the customer base expanded, and key financial ratios improved.
Net income for Q4 FY25 increased to $44.3 million, up from $35.1 million in Q4 FY24.
Total revenues for Q4 FY25 rose to $165.3 million, a 3.8% increase from $159.3 million in Q4 FY24.
Diluted net income per share for Q4 FY25 was $8.13, compared to $6.09 in Q4 FY24.
The customer base increased by 3.5% during the quarter, contributing to overall growth.
The company anticipates continued improvement in portfolio gross and net yield by increasing new and former customer small loan volume and maintaining tighter underwriting of large loans. They expect solid returns on fiscal 2025 originations due to early payment performance and yield, despite an increase in provision for credit losses related to new growth.
