What are Atlanticus Holdings's Business Segments?



Credit and Other Investments Segment. Our Credit and Other Investments segment includes our point-of-sale and direct-to-consumer finance operations, investments in and servicing of our various credit card receivables portfolios and other product development and limited investment in consumer finance technology platforms that generally capitalize on our credit infrastructure.


As previously discussed, through our Fortiva brand (Fortiva Retail Credit, Fortiva Personal Loan, and Fortiva Credit Card) we offer a broad array of products over multiple channels. We leverage proprietary analytics and a robust technology platform to offer loan products to consumers overlooked by other providers of consumer credit. Through Fortiva Retail Credit (our "point-of-sale" operations), we leverage our flexible technology platform to allow retail partners and service providers to offer loan options to their customers who have typically been declined by a primary lender. Our paperless process, instant decision-making and analytical capabilities enable a streamlined customer experience and increased sales for our retail partners. We leverage the same proprietary analytics and infrastructure to offer general purpose loan products directly to consumers through Fortiva Personal Loans and Fortiva Credit Cards (our "direct-to-consumer" products). We reach these consumers through a diverse origination platform that includes direct mail, Internet-based marketing and partnerships.


Our growing portfolio of finance assets are generating and we believe will continue to generate attractive returns on assets, thereby allowing us to secure debt financing under terms and conditions (including advance rates and pricing) that will allow us to achieve our desired returns on equity, and we continue to pursue growth in this area.
Substantially all of the credit card accounts underlying our credit card receivables and portfolios have been closed to new cardholder purchases since 2009. We continue to service our credit card portfolios as they continue to liquidate.


Our credit and other operations are heavily regulated, which may cause us to change how we conduct our operations either in response to regulation or in keeping with our goal of leading the industry in adherence to consumer-friendly practices. We have made several significant changes to our practices over the past several years, and because our account management practices are evolutionary and dynamic, it is possible that we may make further changes to these practices, some of which may produce positive, and others of which may produce adverse, effects on our operating results and financial position. Customers at the lower end of the credit score range intrinsically have higher loss rates than do customers at the higher end of the credit score range. As a result, we price our products to reflect this higher loss rate. As such, our products are subject to greater regulatory scrutiny than the products of prime lenders who are able to price their credit products at much lower levels than we can.

Auto Finance Segment. The operations of our Auto Finance segment are principally conducted through our CAR platform, which we acquired in April 2005. CAR primarily purchases and/or services loans secured by automobiles from or for a pre-qualified network of independent automotive dealers and automotive finance companies in the buy-here, pay-here used car business. In 2010, we started offering floor-plan financing to this same group of dealers and finance companies. In 2013 we also started offering certain installment lending products in addition to our traditional loans secured by automobiles.

Through our CAR operations, we generate revenues on purchased loans through interest earned on the face value of the installment agreements combined with the accretion of discounts on loans purchased. We generally earn discount income over the life of the applicable loan. Additionally, we generate revenues from servicing loans on behalf of dealers for a portion of actual collections and by providing back-up servicing for similar quality assets owned by unrelated third parties. We offer a number of other products to our network of buy-here, pay-here dealers (including our floor-plan financing offering), but the majority of our activities are represented by our purchases of auto loans at discounts and our servicing of auto loans for a fee.
