What the filing says
World Acceptance reported Q1 FY2027 net income of $6.1M ($1.33/diluted share), up from $1.6M year-ago, with revenues of $139.2M (+4.8% YoY). Adjusted net income was $9.7M ($2.12/share) excluding $4.6M CEO transition costs. Gross loans outstanding rose 2.3% to $1.29B; however, new customer originations fell 40.1% to $24.9M (vs. $41.6M prior year) due to tightened underwriting, while refinance volume increased 4.3%. Delinquency improved: 61+ days past due fell to 5.2% from 5.4% YoY. Average debt increased 27.6% to $582.3M; debt-to-equity rose to 1.6:1 from 1.1:1. Share repurchases totaled 15,858 shares at $2.2M in Q1.
Why this rating
Earnings beat modest baseline but new customer decline signals contraction pressure; debt leverage jump material relative to $437M market cap; strategic shift toward refinance-heavy mix is defensible but constrains growth.
