NEWARK, Del.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sallie Mae (NASDAQ: SLM), formally SLM Corporation, today released fourth-quarter 2015 and full-year 2015 financial results. In 2015, the company increased diluted earnings per share 40 percent year-over-year to $.59 (including $.20 attributable to gains on sales of loans), grew private education loan originations 6 percent to $4.3 billion, and expanded its private education loan portfolio size 28 percent to $10.5 billion, all compared to 2014.
“We met or exceeded all of our goals in 2015, our first full year of operation. Even more gratifying, we helped 333,000 students make college happen. With infrastructure investments and service enhancements in place to improve our customers’ experience, we are better positioned than ever to serve families as they save, plan, and pay for college, and remain on an upward growth trajectory,” said Raymond Quinlan, chairman and CEO. “Concerns about capital market conditions and regulatory issues continue to weigh on our market valuation. We strongly believe those concerns are exaggerated and will clear up over the course of 2016.”
For the fourth-quarter 2015, GAAP net income was $90 million, up from $20 million in the year-ago quarter. GAAP net income attributable to the company's common stock was $85 million ($.20 diluted earnings per share) in the fourth-quarter 2015, up from $15 million ($.03 diluted earnings per share) in the year-ago quarter. The year-over-year increase was primarily attributable to a $37-million increase in net interest income, a $58-million increase in gains on sales of loans, and a $4-million decrease in total expenses, which were offset by a $30-million increase in income tax expense.
For 2015, GAAP net income was $274 million, up from $194 million in 2014. GAAP net income attributable to the company's common stock was $255 million ($.59 diluted earnings per share) in 2015, up from $181 million ($.42 diluted earnings per share) in 2014.
Fourth-quarter 2015 results vs. fourth-quarter 2014 included:
- Private education loan originations of $575 million, up 3 percent.
- Net interest income of $188 million, up 25 percent.
- Net interest margin of 5.48 percent, up 47 basis points.
- Average private education loans outstanding of $10.6 billion, up 31 percent.
- Average yield on the private education loan portfolio was 7.84 percent, down 23 basis points.
- Private education loan provision for loan losses was $29 million, down from $30 million.
- Loans in forbearance were 3.4 percent of private education loans in repayment and forbearance.
- Delinquencies as a percentage of private education loans in repayment were 2.2 percent.
In connection with the Navient Corporation spin-off, the company changed its policy to charge off loans after 120 days of delinquency and changed its loss emergence period from two years to one year to reflect both the shorter charge-off policy and its related servicing practices. Consequently, many of the pre-spin-off, historical credit indicators and period-over-period trends are not comparable and may not be indicative of future performance.
Core earnings for the fourth-quarter 2015 were $90 million, up from $20 million in the year-ago quarter. Core earnings attributable to the company's common stock were $85 million ($.20 diluted earnings per share) in the fourth-quarter 2015, up from $15 million ($.03 diluted earnings per share) in the year-ago quarter.
Core earnings for 2015 were $273 million, up from $195 million for 2014. Core earnings attributable to the company's common stock were $254 million ($.59 diluted earnings per share) for 2015, up from $182 million ($.42 diluted earnings per share) for 2014.
Sallie Mae provides core earnings because it is one of several measures used to evaluate management performance and allocate corporate resources. The difference between core earnings and GAAP net income is driven by mark-to-market unrealized gains and losses on derivative contracts recognized in GAAP, but not in core earnings results. Management believes its derivatives are effective economic hedges, and, as such, they are a critical element of the company's interest rate risk management strategy. Fourth-quarter 2015 and full-year 2015 GAAP results included $348 thousand and $1.8 million, respectively, of pre-tax gains from derivative accounting treatment that are excluded from core earnings results, vs. pre-tax losses of $62 thousand and $1.7 million, respectively, in the year-ago periods.
Total Expenses
Total expenses were $85 million in fourth-quarter 2015 (reflecting a $1 million credit to reorganization expenses), compared with $88 million in the year-ago quarter (which included $10 million of reorganization expenses).
Total expenses were $356 million for the full-year 2015 (including $5 million of reorganization expenses), compared with $316 million in 2014 (which included $38 million of reorganization expenses). The year-over-year increase in total expenses was primarily the result of increased personnel costs related to being a stand-alone company and an increase in loans serviced for the company and third parties. In addition, the company made investments in its servicing operation to improve customer service, such as expanding weekend service hours and improving response times.
Income Tax Expense
The effective income tax rate decreased to 37.9 percent in fourth-quarter 2015 from 55.4 percent in the year-ago quarter. In fourth-quarter 2014, the company recorded a net reserve of $7 million for uncertain historical tax positions, which contributed to an increase in the effective tax rate to 55.4 percent. Absent these adjustments, the company’s effective tax rate would have been approximately 39 percent in fourth-quarter 2014. The additional decline in the effective tax rate for the fourth-quarter 2015 was the result of lower effective state tax rates in fourth-quarter 2015.
The company’s effective tax rate decreased to 37.5 percent in 2015 from 41.9 percent in 2014. The decrease in the effective tax rate for 2015 was primarily the result of the additional reserves recorded in fourth-quarter 2014 related to uncertain historical tax positions and lower effective state tax rates in fourth-quarter 2015.
Capital
The regulatory capital ratios of the company’s Sallie Mae Bank subsidiary continue to exceed guidelines for institutions considered “well capitalized.” At Dec. 31, 2015, Sallie Mae Bank’s regulatory capital ratios were as follows:
|
Dec. 31, 2015 |
Well Capitalized Regulatory Requirements |
|||
| Tier 1 leverage | 12.3 percent | 5.0 percent | ||
| Tier 1 risk-based capital | 14.4 percent | 8.0 percent | ||
| Total risk-based capital | 15.4 percent | 10.0 percent | ||
| Common equity Tier 1 risk-based capital | 14.4 percent | 6.5 percent | ||
Deposits
Deposits at the company totaled $11.5 billion ($7.3 billion in brokered deposits and $4.2 billion in retail and other deposits) at Dec. 31, 2015, compared to $10.5 billion ($6.7 billion in brokered deposits and $3.8 billion in retail and other deposits) at Dec. 31, 2014. The increase was primarily driven by growth in brokered and other money market deposits and brokered CDs.
Guidance
The company expects 2016 results to be as follows:
- Full-year diluted core earnings per share between $.49 and $.51.
- Full-year private education loan originations of $4.6 billion.
- Full-year operating efficiency ratio improvement of 8-10 percent.

This press release contains “forward-looking statements” and information based on management’s current expectations as of the date of this release. Statements that are not historical facts, including statements about the company’s beliefs, opinions or expectations and statements that assume or are dependent upon future events, are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other factors that may cause actual results to be materially different from those reflected in such forward-looking statements. These factors include, among others, the risks and uncertainties set forth in Item 1A “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in the company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended Dec. 31, 2014 (filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on Feb. 26, 2015) and subsequent filings with the SEC; increases in financing costs; limits on liquidity; increases in costs associated with compliance with laws and regulations; changes in accounting standards and the impact of related changes in significant accounting estimates; any adverse outcomes in any significant litigation to which the company is a party; credit risk associated with the company’s exposure to third parties, including counterparties to the company’s derivative transactions; and changes in the terms of education loans and the educational credit marketplace (including changes resulting from new laws and the implementation of existing laws). The company could also be affected by, among other things: changes in its funding costs and availability; reductions to its credit ratings; failures or breaches of its operating systems or infrastructure, including those of third-party vendors; damage to its reputation; failures to successfully implement cost-cutting and restructuring initiatives and adverse effects of such initiatives on the company's business; risks associated with restructuring initiatives; changes in the demand for educational financing or in financing preferences of lenders, educational institutions, students and their families; changes in law and regulations with respect to the student lending business and financial institutions generally; changes in banking rules and regulations, including increased capital requirements; increased competition from banks and other consumer lenders; the creditworthiness of its customers; changes in the general interest rate environment, including the rate relationships among relevant money-market instruments and those of its earning assets versus its funding arrangements; rates of prepayments on the loans made by the company and its subsidiaries; changes in general economic conditions and the company's ability to successfully effectuate any acquisitions; and other strategic initiatives. The preparation of the company’s consolidated financial statements also requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions, including estimates and assumptions about future events. These estimates or assumptions may prove to be incorrect. All forward-looking statements contained in this release are qualified by these cautionary statements and are made only as of the date of this release. The company does not undertake any obligation to update or revise these forward-looking statements to conform such statements to actual results or changes in its expectations.
The company reports financial results on a GAAP basis and also provides certain “Core Earnings” performance measures. The difference between the company’s “Core Earnings” and GAAP results for the periods presented were the unrealized, mark-to-market gains/losses on derivative contracts. These are recognized in GAAP, but not in “Core Earnings” results. The company provides “Core Earnings” measures because this is what management uses when making management decisions regarding the company’s performance and the allocation of corporate resources. The company’s “Core Earnings” are not defined terms within GAAP and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.
For additional information, see “Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — GAAP Consolidated Earnings Summary -‘Core Earnings’” in the company’s Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2015 for a further discussion and the “‘Core Earnings’ to GAAP Reconciliation” table in this press release for a complete reconciliation between GAAP net income and “Core Earnings.”
Year-over-year private education loan portfolio performance continues to be affected by changes in the company’s business practices undertaken in connection with the Navient Corporation spin-off. Most notably, the company changed its policy to charge off loans after 120 days of delinquency and changed its loss emergence period from two years to one year to reflect both the shorter charge-off policy and its related servicing practices. A loss emergence period represents the expected period between the first occurrence of an event likely to cause a loss on a loan and the date the loan is expected to be charged off, taking into consideration account management practices that affect the timing of a loss, such as the usage of forbearance. Prior to the spin-off, Sallie Mae Bank also sold all loans past 90 days delinquent to an entity that is now a subsidiary of Navient Corporation. Consequently, many of the pre-spin-off, historical credit indicators and period-over-period trends are not comparable and may not be indicative of future performance.

Under GAAP, for our derivatives held to maturity, the cumulative net unrealized gain or loss over the life of the contract will equal $0. | |
| (2) | “Core Earnings” tax rate is based on the effective tax rate at the Bank where the derivative instruments are held. | |
