Forward guidance

Tailwinds
- Loan delinquency rate to increase in FQ4'23 in line with normal seasonality.
- Allowance for credit losses as a percentage of loans held for investment to increase modestly.
- Savings from the February restructuring will be greater in FQ4 than in FQ3 due to the timing of implementation.
- The current forward interest rate curve and negative consumer sentiment will persist through the remainder of the fiscal year ending June 30, 2023.
- No improvement in macroeconomic conditions is expected.
Headwinds
- Credit performance: in line with normal seasonality, we expect our loan delinquency rate to increase in FQ4’23.
- We also expect our allowance for credit losses as a percentage of loans held for investment to increase modestly.
- Workforce and operating expense reductions: because the cost restructuring measures announced in February were not implemented until mid-FQ3’23, the savings from the February restructuring will be greater in FQ4 than in FQ3.
- Interest rates and macroeconomic environment: the current forward interest rate curve and negative consumer sentiment will persist through the remainder of the fiscal year ending June 30, 2023, with no improvement in macroeconomic conditions.
- These factors are reflected in our RLTC outlook.
