Positive Points SLM Corp (NASDAQ:SLM) delivered solid results in the second quarter of 2025, with GAAP diluted EPS of $0.32 per share. The credit quality of originations improved, with a cosigner rate increase to 84% and average FICO at approval rising to 754. SLM Corp (NASDAQ:SLM) repurchased 2.4 million shares, continuing its capital return strategy and reducing shares outstanding by over 53% since 2020. The company agreed on indicative pricing for the sale of $1.8 billion of private education loans, aligning with expectations. SLM Corp (NASDAQ:SLM) is optimistic about the long-term outlook for private student lending due to recent federal student loan reforms, potentially increasing annual private education loan origination volume by $4.5 billion to $5 billion. Negative Points Loan originations for the second quarter were $686 million, slightly below expectations. Provision for credit losses increased to $149 million, attributed to a cautious macroeconomic outlook and an increase in the weighted average life of the portfolio. Net private education loan charge-offs rose to $94 million, primarily due to disaster forbearance related to California wildfires. Noninterest expenses increased to $167 million, up from $155 million in the prior quarter. There is uncertainty regarding the impact of federal lending reforms and reductions in grant funding on future loan originations. Q & A Highlights Q: Can you provide details on the $1.8 billion loan sale in the third quarter and its gain on sale margin? A: Peter Graham, CFO, stated that the transaction is in line with expectations set for the year. The rates environment has changed since the first-quarter loan sale, leading to modest adjustments in pricing, but the execution of the transaction was satisfactory. Q: Should we expect another loan sale in the fourth quarter, or is the $3.8 billion total for the year? A: Peter Graham, CFO, mentioned that they will monitor the situation as they approach the latter part of the year, considering peak season performance and capital stress testing results before deciding on additional sales. Q: The net charge-off rate for loans in repayment increased in the second quarter. Can you explain the impact of the California wildfires on this? A: Jonathan Witter, CEO, explained that the wildfires led to a larger impact than typical natural disasters due to the wide and densely populated area affected. The disaster forbearance offered shifted some charge-offs from the first to the second quarter. Q: With changes to federal lending, can we expect an increase in growth projections for Sallie Mae? A: Peter Graham, CFO, indicated that while the framework for growth remains relevant, the new federal lending changes present a significant opportunity, potentially leading to higher growth rates in the mid- to high single-digit range. Q: How does Sallie Mae plan to handle the $4.5 billion to $5 billion opportunity from federal loan reforms? A: Jonathan Witter, CEO, stated that the company plans to leverage its current risk appetite and credit buy box, with expectations to realize the volume impacts over several years, particularly from 2027 onwards.

Positive Points McGrath RentCorp (NASDAQ:MGRC) delivered solid second-quarter results with rental operations growing by 5% and adjusted EBITDA increasing by 3%. The Mobile Modular division saw total revenues increase by 8%, with strong performance in both commercial and education sectors. TRS-RenTelco experienced a 7% growth in rental revenues, with improved utilization and a stronger rental pipeline. The company completed two tuck-in acquisitions, enhancing its modular growth strategy and expanding its geographic footprint. McGrath RentCorp (NASDAQ:MGRC) has upwardly revised its full-year financial outlook, expecting total revenue between $925 million and $960 million, and adjusted EBITDA between $347 million and $356 million. Negative Points Portable Storage rental revenues decreased by 5% year-over-year, although there was a sequential improvement. The company faced higher inventory center expenses and SG&A costs, impacting adjusted EBITDA despite revenue growth. Average fleet utilization for Mobile Modular decreased to 73.7% from 78.4% a year earlier, reflecting softer demand conditions. The demand environment remains uncertain, with potential delays and uncertainties affecting sales and rental activities. Interest expense, although reduced, remains a factor, with the company managing debt levels and interest rates. Q & A Highlights Q: Could you provide more details on the expected balance of sales timing in the third and fourth quarters? A: Keith Pratt, CFO, explained that last year saw a significant third quarter due to high sales gross profit, which then dropped in the fourth quarter. This year, the contribution of sales gross profit is expected to be more balanced between the third and fourth quarters. The company has already seen strong sales contributions in the first half of the year, and adjusted EBITDA is expected to be similar in both the third and fourth quarters. Q: How far out do you have visibility on the Mobile Modular segment, and is it fluid? A: Keith Pratt, CFO, noted that visibility is somewhat fluid due to the current demand environment, which can cause delays and uncertainty. The company spends considerable time assessing the pipeline and what is likely to be realized by year-end as part of their normal forecasting process. Q: Can you provide an update on the pricing gap between current spot rates for new modular rentals versus the average rate on existing contracts? A: Keith Pratt, CFO, stated that modular spot rates are generally stable, with the gap between the average rate on existing contracts and new shipments being about 39%, slightly down from 41% a quarter ago. The average monthly revenue per unit on rent increased 6% year-over-year. Q: Are you seeing meaningful signs of improvement in Portable Storage demand? A: Joseph Hanna, CEO, confirmed that there are definite signs of improvement. Although rental revenues were down 5% year-over-year, they improved sequentially, and quote volumes are up. The company shipped the most units in June since January 2024, indicating an upward trajectory. Q: Could you discuss the impact of new federal tax legislation on your free cash flow? A: Keith Pratt, CFO, mentioned that the benefit to free cash flow from the new tax treatment on rental equipment depreciation is estimated to be in the range of $10 million to $15 million for this year. However, this benefit is less pronounced due to lower capital spending on new rental equipment. For the complete transcript of the earnings call, please refer to the full earnings call transcript.
