FORT WORTH, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- AMERICREDIT CORP. (NYSE: ACF) today announced net income of $26 million, or $0.19 per share, for its fiscal first quarter ended September 30, 2009. The Company reported a net loss of $5 million, or $0.05 per share, for the same period a year earlier. Net loss for the quarter ended September 30, 2008, was revised, from a net loss of $2 million, or $0.01 per share, to reflect the retrospective adoption, on July 1, 2009, of a new accounting standard that changes the accounting for convertible bonds.
Originations were $229 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2009, compared to $579 million for the same quarter last fiscal year. Finance receivables totaled $10.0 billion at September 30, 2009, compared to $14.1 billion at September 30, 2008.
Annualized net charge-offs totaled 8.4% of average finance receivables for the quarter ended September 30, 2009, compared to 7.3% for the quarter ended September 30, 2008.
Finance receivables 31-to-60 days delinquent were 7.6% of the portfolio at September 30, 2009, compared to 7.4% at September 30, 2008. Accounts more than 60 days delinquent were 3.8% of the portfolio at September 30, 2009, compared to 3.6% a year ago.
The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of finance receivables was 8.2% at September 30, 2009, compared to 8.2% at June 30, 2009 and 6.8% at September 30, 2008.
The Company had total available liquidity of $704 million at September 30, 2009, consisting of $462 million of unrestricted cash and approximately $242 million of borrowing capacity on unpledged eligible receivables. During the September quarter, the Company received a $113 million income tax refund. Subsequent to September 30, 2009, the Company received an additional income tax refund of $85 million, for a total refund of $198 million resulting from federal net loss carrybacks.
"We had a solid September quarter. Credit metrics reflected typical seasonal decline and the impact of a decreasing portfolio balance. However, we are seeing a moderation in the rate of deterioration in our credit performance," said President and Chief Executive Officer Dan Berce. "With ample liquidity, sufficient warehouse capacity and an improving capital markets environment, we are well-positioned to rebuild loan origination levels."
