SALT LAKE CITY, April 29, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- PROG Holdings, Inc. (NYSE:PRG), the fintech holding company for Progressive Leasing, a leading provider of in-store and e-commerce lease-to-own solutions, and Vive Financial, a provider of omnichannel second-look revolving credit solutions,  announces financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2021.

"Our first quarter results reflect the exceptional execution of our team and our point-of-sale retail partners in a challenging environment as we continue to add and scale partner relationships while increasing our e-commerce penetration," said Steve Michaels, President and Chief Executive Officer of PROG Holdings. "The Progressive Leasing segment delivered record first quarter results in revenue, gross merchandise volume (GMV), earnings before taxes, and adjusted EBITDA. Our portfolio performance exceeded our expectations as the continued financial strength of our consumer resulted in increased revenues and low write-offs in the period. We anticipate strong results for the remainder of 2021, building on Progressive's 10.4% GMV growth in the first quarter." 

Financial Highlights

Consolidated revenues for the first quarter of 2021 were $721.0 million, an increase of 7.9% from the same period in 2020. The increase was primarily driven by continued strong customer payment performance across both the Progressive Leasing and Vive Financial business segments, as well as elevated buyout activity in the period. Progressive Leasing's GMV increased 10.4% to $510 million compared with the same period in 2020, with 14.3% of the quarter's GMV generated from the Company's e-commerce channel, up from 1.9% in Q1 2020. GMV in the first quarter primarily benefited from the continued scale of national partners, increased penetration in e-commerce, and federal stimulus, and was partially offset by a delayed tax refund season and smaller average refunds.

The provision for lease merchandise write-offs was 2.6% of lease revenues in the first quarter of 2021 compared with 8.5% in the same period of 2020. Low levels of delinquencies and a more favorable outlook of consumer payment performance benefited our provision for write-offs reported in the period. Provisions for write-offs in the first quarter of 2020 reflect the recording of $16.1 million in Progressive Leasing reserves relating to the COVID-19 pandemic. The first quarter of 2021 results benefited by a $2.5 million release of COVID-19-related reserves.  

The Company reported net earnings from continuing operations for the first quarter of 2021 of $79.5 million compared with $57.7 million in the prior year period.

Adjusted EBITDA for the first quarter of 2021 was $118.1 million, compared with $62.6 million for the same period in 2020, an increase of $55.5 million, or 88.7%. As a percentage of revenues, adjusted EBITDA was 16.4% in the first quarter of 2021 compared with 9.4% for the same period in 2020. The increases in net earnings from continuing operations and adjusted EBITDA were primarily driven by the Company's increased revenues and improvements in our provision for write-offs.

Diluted earnings per share from continuing operations for the first quarter of 2021 were $1.16 compared with $0.85 in the year ago period. On a non-GAAP basis, diluted earnings per share from continuing operations were $1.22 in the first quarter of 2021 compared with $0.41 for the same quarter in 2020.

Liquidity and Capital Allocation

PROG Holdings ended the first quarter of 2021 with a cash position of $151.2 million and a balance of $50 million on its $350 million revolving credit facility. The Company repurchased $28.1 million of its stock in the period at an average price per share of $47.70,  leaving $271.9 million available through its $300 million repurchase authorization.

The Company expects to repurchase additional shares under its $300 million program from time to time, subject to its capital plan, market conditions and other factors. The timing and amount of any further repurchases under the program will be determined by management. The Company is not obligated to acquire any specific number of shares, and the program may be suspended or discontinued at any time.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information:

Non-GAAP net earnings from continuing operations, non-GAAP diluted earnings from continuing operations per share, EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are supplemental measures of our performance that are not calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP"). Non-GAAP net earnings from continuing operations and non-GAAP diluted earnings from continuing operations per share for the three months ended March 31, 2021, exclude intangible amortization expense. Non-GAAP net earnings from continuing operations and non-GAAP diluted earnings from continuing operations per share for the three months ended March 31, 2020 exclude intangible amortization expense and income tax benefits from our revaluation of net operating loss carrybacks resulting from the CARES Act. The amounts for these after-tax non-GAAP adjustments, which are tax effected using our statutory tax rate, can be found in the reconciliation of net earnings from continuing operations and earnings from continuing operations per share assuming dilution to non-GAAP net earnings from continuing operations and earnings from continuing operations per share assuming dilution table in this press release.

The EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA figures presented in this press release are calculated as the Company's earnings before interest expense, net, depreciation on property, plant and equipment, amortization of intangible assets and income taxes. Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 also excludes stock-based compensation expense. The amounts for these pre-tax non-GAAP adjustments can be found in the quarterly segment EBITDA tables in this press release. Adjusted EBITDA for the Company's full year 2021 outlook is calculated as projected earnings before interest expense, interest income, depreciation on property, plant and equipment, amortization of intangible assets and income taxes. Adjusted EBITDA for the Company's full year 2021 outlook also excludes stock-based compensation expense.

In addition to the adjusted EBITDA reconciliations for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and March 31, 2020 set forth in this discussion about use of non-GAAP financial information, we have included the earnings (loss) from continuing operations before tax and adjusted EBITDA for the Company and each segment for the three months ended June 30, 2020, September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2020, along with the related GAAP to Non-GAAP reconciliations. The earnings (loss) from continuing operations before tax and adjusted EBITDA results for each quarter in 2020 exclude the discontinued operations resulting from our spin-off of the Aaron's Business segment effective November 30, 2020. We believe investors may find that information helpful in evaluating our earnings from continuing operations and adjusted EBITDA performance in future periods.

Adjusted EBITDA for three months ended June 30, 2020, September 30, 2020, and December 31, 2020 also excludes: (i) stock-based compensation expense, (ii) insurance reimbursements for certain legal costs associated with our FTC regulatory charge; (iii) stock-based compensation modification expense and other executive retirement charges resulting from our separation and distribution of Aaron's Business; (iv) income tax benefits from our revaluation of net operating loss carrybacks resulting from the CARES Act; (v) income tax expense for the recognition of a revaluation allowance on foreign tax credits resulting from our separation and distribution of Aaron's Business; and (vi) certain corporate restructuring charges.

Management believes that non-GAAP net earnings from continuing operations, non-GAAP diluted earnings from continuing operations per share, EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA provide relevant and useful information, and are widely used by analysts, investors and competitors in our industry as well as by our management in assessing both consolidated and business unit performance.

EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP net earnings from continuing operations and non-GAAP diluted earnings from continuing operations provide management and investors with an understanding of the results from the primary operations of our business by excluding the effects of certain items that generally arose from larger, one-time transactions that are not reflective of the ordinary earnings activity of our operations or transactions that have variability and volatility of the amount. We believe the exclusion of stock-based compensation expense provides for a better comparison of our operating results with our peer companies as the calculations of stock-based compensation vary from period to period and company to company due to different valuation methodologies, subjective assumptions and the variety of award types. This measure may be useful to an investor in evaluating the underlying operating performance of our business.

EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA also provide management and investors with an understanding of one aspect of earnings before the impact of investing and financing charges and income taxes. These measures may be useful to an investor in evaluating our operating performance because the measures:

• Are widely used by investors to measure a company's operating performance without regard to items excluded from the calculation of such measure, which can vary substantially from company to company depending upon accounting methods, book value of assets, capital structure and the method by which assets were acquired, among other factors.
• Are a financial measurement that is used by rating agencies, lenders and other parties to evaluate our creditworthiness.
• Are used by our management for various purposes, including as a measure of performance of our operating entities and as a basis for strategic planning and forecasting.

Non-GAAP financial measures, however, should not be used as a substitute for, or considered superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP, such as the Company's GAAP basis net earnings from continuing operations and diluted earnings from continuing operations per share and the GAAP revenues and earnings from continuing operations before income taxes of the Company's segments, which are also presented in the press release. Further, we caution investors that amounts presented in accordance with our definitions of non-GAAP net earnings from continuing operations, non-GAAP diluted earnings from continuing operations per share, EBITDA, and adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similar measures disclosed by other companies, because not all companies and analysts calculate these measures in the same manner.
