QC Holdings, Inc. Reports Fourth Quarter 2017 Results

OVERLAND PARK, Kan., April 23, 2018 -- QC Holdings, Inc. (OTC PINK:QCCO) reported a net loss of $3.5 million and revenues of $98.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2017. Net loss totaled $16.8 million and revenues totaled $117.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2016.

The year ended December 31, 2017 includes severance and corporate relocation charges of approximately $569,000. The year ended December 31, 2016 includes charges of $1.6 million related to recording additional loan loss reserve, severance and lease liability costs as part of the closure of the company’s branches in Washington, South Carolina and Virginia, a $2.7 million loan loss reserve for a business-to-business receivable and approximately $800,000 in severance and other costs.

The decline in revenues during 2017 compared to 2016 was primarily attributable to the third quarter 2016 store swap transaction, whereby the company acquired 33 branches operated in Illinois, Kansas, Missouri and Utah and sold its 98 branches operated in Alabama, Arizona, California, Mississippi and Ohio. For the 229 company branches not a part of the store swap, revenues improved 2% year-to-year due to an increase in new customers.

Loan loss rates dropped to 26.1% during 2017 from 35.7% in the prior year.  This decline is attributable to $3.5 million in 2016 loan loss reserves as noted above, improvements in installment loan underwriting and product offerings, and 2017 recoveries in the business factoring portfolio.

During 2016, the company determined that due to the net operating losses incurred for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2016, the company did not meet the accounting requirements that would indicate that available domestic loss carry-forwards and deferred tax assets will be recognized in the future. Accordingly, a valuation allowance of $8.5 million was established at December 31, 2016, which resulted in a net tax charge for 2016. During 2017, the company established a valuation allowance related to the net operating loss carry-forwards associated with its Canadian operations, which resulted in a net tax charge for 2017.
