More expansion coming for Dolla Financial

Dolla Financial reported record profit for the 2023 first quarter that jumped 90 percent to $125 million before tax, from just $66 million last year, with aftertax profit coming in at $123 million, 128 percent higher than the $59 million reported for 2022, but the company is not satisfied, with that and plans increased borrowing to on lend and acquisition while having eyes on branch expansion.
The company borrowed $1.17 million in 2022 but used most of the available funds on hand at the start of the year, with loans granted to borrowers absorbing $550 million in the March quarter, leaving the company with just $117 million in cash funds. In order to maintain the current profit momentum the company will need to add new loans from lenders to keep funding the expansion.
In an investor briefing, the CEO Kadeem Mairs indicated that they are in the process of negotiating a US$7 million loan that will be used to fund loan expansion and acquisition that they are currently looking at. Such acquisitions will be subject to regulatory approval before they will be able to complete such transactions.
The company is also seeking to establish an 800 square foot branch in May Pen in the complex that houses the supermarket operated by Derrimon Trading.
Importantly, Mairs pointed out that 80 percent of loans granted are secured and therefore result in a low credit default.
IC Insider.com forecast is for the 2023 earnings per share to be 40 cents and is partially predicated on timely loan funding.

Profit surges at Dolla

Profit at Dolla Financial for the 2023 first quarter jumped 90 percent to $125 million before tax of $1.9 million from just $66 million last year, with aftertax profit coming in at $123 million, 128 percent higher than the $59 million in 2022, the robust outcome flowed from total income of $310 million up 110 percent over $141 million in 2022.
The revenue grew from a 161 percent increase in loans to customers of $2.3 billion from $870 million at the end of March 2022. The company lent out nearly $550 million in the March 2023 quarter.
Administrative expenses jumped by 110 percent to $124 million from $59 million in 2022, while Interest expense surged 285 percent to $50 million from just $13 million in 2022 following increased loan funding of $1.6 billion by 232 percent from $481 million at the end of March last year.
Profit for 2023 equates to 6 cents in earnings per share. ICInsider.com is forecasting 40 cents per share for the year, partially on the assumption that there will be an increase in loan funding to facilitate increased lending to customers and maintain the rapid loan expansion. This is likely to push the stock into the $8 region. However, the PE ratio is 7 times current year’s earnings, with the stock price at $2.79 that it traded at on the Junior Market on Wednesday. With no additional loan funding, profits should end the year at 35 cents per share or just under $900 million.
Profit for the quarter pushed shareholders’ equity to $794 million.
