The following segment results are reported on a non-GAAP basis. Refer to the required reconciliations of non-GAAP to comparable GAAP measures at the end of this press release.

Consumer and Insurance Segment (“C&I”)

C&I generated adjusted pretax income of $413 million and adjusted net income of $310 million for the fourth quarter of 2021, compared to $498 million and $373 million, respectively, in the prior year quarter. Adjusted earnings per diluted share were $2.38 for the fourth quarter of 2021, compared to $2.77 in the prior year quarter.

C&I generated adjusted net income of $1.4 billion for the full year of 2021, compared to $819 million in the prior year. Adjusted earnings per diluted share were $10.81 for the full year of 2021, compared to $6.07 in the prior year.

Management runs the business based on C&I capital generation, which it defines as C&I adjusted net income excluding the after-tax change in C&I allowance for finance receivable losses while still considering the current period C&I net charge-offs. C&I capital generation was $334 million for the fourth quarter of 2021, representing a 2% increase versus the prior year period.

Originations totaled $3.8 billion in the fourth quarter of 2021, up 20% from $3.2 billion in the prior year quarter. The percentage of secured originations was 52% in the fourth quarter of 2021, consistent with the prior year quarter.

Managed receivables, which include loans serviced for our whole loan sale partners, were $19.6 billion at December 31, 2021. Sales of finance receivables totaled $180 million in the quarter, and the recognized gain on sales, recorded in Other revenue, was $17 million. The Company continues to service these loans.

Ending net finance receivables reached $19.2 billion at December 31, 2021, up 6% from $18.1 billion at December 31, 2020.

Secured receivables were 52% of ending net finance receivables at December 31, 2021, down from 53% at December 31, 2020.

Average net finance receivables were $19.0 billion in the fourth quarter of 2021, up 6% from $18.0 billion in the prior year quarter.

Interest income in the fourth quarter of 2021 was $1.1 billion, consistent with the prior year quarter, reflecting higher average net finance receivables, offset by a lower portfolio yield.

Yield was 23.3% in the fourth quarter of 2021, down from 24.2% in the prior year quarter. The decrease generally reflected the impact of higher credit quality originations with attractive returns that are contributing to our portfolio growth, and higher 90+ day delinquent receivables.

The provision for finance receivable losses was $236 million in the fourth quarter of 2021, up from $130 million in the prior year quarter, primarily driven by the prior year period release in the allowance associated with an improved credit environment.

The 30-89 day delinquency ratio was 2.43% at December 31, 2021, up from 2.20% at September 30, 2021, and 2.28% at December 31, 2020.

The 90+ day delinquency ratio was 1.99% at December 31, 2021, up from 1.57% at September 30, 2021, and 1.75% at December 31, 2020.

The net charge-off ratio was 4.24% in the fourth quarter of 2021, up from 3.52% in the third quarter of 2021 and 4.18% in the prior year quarter.

Operating expense for the fourth quarter of 2021 was $348 million, up 9% from $319 million in the prior year quarter reflecting receivables growth and strategic investments in the business compared to COVID-19 cost cutting measures taken in the prior year period.

Funding and Liquidity

As of December 31, 2021, the Company had principal debt balances outstanding of $18.0 billion, 45% of which was secured. The Company had $541 million of cash and cash equivalents, which included $158 million of cash and cash equivalents held at their regulated insurance subsidiaries or for other operating activities that are unavailable for general corporate purposes.

Cash and cash equivalents, together with the Company’s potential borrowings of $1.0 billion of undrawn committed capacity from a corporate revolver, $5.4 billion of undrawn committed capacity under the revolving conduit facilities, and $10.2 billion of unencumbered gross finance receivables, provide a liquidity runway in excess of 24 months under numerous stress scenarios and assuming no access to the capital markets. This liquidity runway calculation contemplates all the cash needs of the Company.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We report the operating results of Consumer and Insurance using the Segment Accounting Basis, which (i) reflects our allocation methodologies for interest expense and operating costs, to reflect the manner in which we assess our business results and (ii) excludes the impact of applying purchase accounting (eliminates premiums/discounts on our finance receivables and long-term debt at acquisition, as well as the amortization/accretion in future periods). Consumer and Insurance adjusted pretax income (loss), Consumer and Insurance adjusted net income (loss), and Consumer and Insurance adjusted earnings (loss) per diluted share are key performance measures used to evaluate the performance of our business. Consumer and Insurance adjusted pretax income (loss) represents income (loss) before income taxes on a Segment Accounting Basis and excludes the expense associated with the cash-settled stock-based awards, direct costs associated with COVID-19, net loss resulting from repurchases and repayments of debt, acquisition-related transaction and integration expenses, and restructuring charges. We believe these non-GAAP financial measures are useful in assessing the profitability of our segment.

We also use Consumer and Insurance pretax capital generation and Consumer and Insurance capital generation, non-GAAP financial measures, as a key performance measure of our segment. Consumer and insurance pretax capital generation represents Consumer and Insurance adjusted pretax income, as discussed above, and excludes the change in our Consumer and Insurance allowance for finance receivable losses in the period while still considering the Consumer and Insurance net charge-offs during the period. Consumer and Insurance capital generation represents the after-tax effect of Consumer and Insurance pretax capital generation. We believe that these non-GAAP measures are useful in assessing the capital created in the period impacting the overall capital adequacy of the Company. We believe that the Company’s reserves, combined with its equity, represent the Company's loss absorption capacity.

We utilize these non-GAAP measures in evaluating our performance. Additionally, these non-GAAP measures are consistent with the performance goals established in OMH’s executive compensation program. These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered supplemental to, but not as a substitute for or superior to, income (loss) before income taxes, net income, or other measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP.
