BASIS OF REPORTING
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This Quarterly Financial Supplement includes financial information which is
presented on a non-GAAP basis as discussed below. Information included in this
Quarterly Financial Supplement is intended to supplement and should not be
considered a substitute for owned basis reporting. This Quarterly Financial
Supplement should be read in conjunction with the owned basis information
reported in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
See "Reconciliations to GAAP Financial Measures" for quantitative
reconciliations of non-GAAP financial information to the equivalent owned basis
GAAP financial information.
MANAGED BASIS REPORTING We monitor our operations and evaluate trends on a
managed basis (a non-GAAP financial measure), which assumes that securitized
receivables have not been sold and are still on our balance sheet. We manage and
evaluate our operations on a managed basis because the receivables that we
securitize are subjected to underwriting standards comparable to our owned
portfolio, are serviced by operating personnel without regard to ownership and
result in a similar credit loss exposure for us. In addition, we fund our
operations, review our operating results, and make decisions about allocating
resources such as employees and capital on a managed basis.
When reporting on a managed basis, net interest income, provision for credit
losses and fee income related to receivables securitized are reclassified from
securitization revenue in our owned statement of income into the appropriate
caption. Additionally, charge-off and delinquency associated with these
receivables are included in our managed basis credit quality statistics.
Debt analysts, rating agencies and others also evaluate our operations on a
managed basis for the reasons discussed above and have historically requested
managed basis information from us. We believe that managed basis information
enables investors and other interested parties to better understand the
performance and quality of our entire managed loan portfolio and is important to
understanding the quality of originations and the related credit risk inherent
in our owned and securitized portfolios. As the level of our securitized
receivables falls over time, managed basis and owned basis results will
eventually converge, and we will only report owned basis results.
OPERATING RESULTS, PERCENTAGES AND RATIOS Certain percentages and ratios have
been presented on an operating basis and have been calculated using "operating
net income", a non-GAAP financial measure. "Operating net income" is net income
excluding certain nonrecurring items shown in the table below. These
nonrecurring items are also excluded in calculating our operating basis
efficiency ratios. We believe that excluding these nonrecurring items helps
readers of our financial statements to better understand the results and trends
of our underlying business. See our Annual Report for 2004 on Form 10-K for
further discussion of these items.
A reconciliation of net income to operating net income follows:
