OMF’s NII Rises, Expenses Up

NII was up 11.2% from the prior-year quarter to $96 million. The increase was primarily driven by higher net finance receivables and improved yield.

Total other revenues were $188 million, up 4.4% from the prior-year quarter. The rise was driven by an increase in gains on sales of finance receivables and other revenues.

Total other expenses rose 2.7% to $453 million on account of higher operating expenses.

Our View on OneMain Holdings

OneMain Holdings’ efforts to grow credit card and auto finance loans alongside relatively lower interest rates and strategic acquisitions are expected to support its financials. A decent balance sheet and liquidity position are other positives. However, rising expenses and deteriorating asset quality are woes.
