INTRODUCTION

In this report, the Department of Business Oversight (DBO) has compiled data submitted by finance lender and broker licensees under the California Financing Law (CFL). The licensees submitted the data pursuant to Financial Code sections 22159(a) and 22160.

Financial Code section 22159(a) states:

22159. (a) Each finance lender and broker licensee shall file an annual report with the commissioner, on or before the 15th day of March, giving the relevant information that the commissioner reasonably requires concerning the business and operations conducted by the licensee within the state during the preceding calendar year for each licensed place of business. The individual annual reports filed pursuant to this section shall be made available to the public for inspection except, upon request in the annual report to the commissioner, the balance sheet contained in the annual report of a sole proprietor or any other nonpublicly traded persons. "Nonpublicly traded person" for purposes of this section means persons with securities owned by 35 or fewer individuals. The report shall be made under oath and in the form prescribed by the commissioner.

Financial Code section 22160 states:

22160. The commissioner shall make and file annually with the Department of Business Oversight as a public record a composite of the annual reports and any comments on the reports that he or she deems to be in the public interest.

This report contains unaudited data provided by licensees for the calendar year ending December 31, 2018. The numbers are statistical in nature.

As of December 31, 2018, the DBO licensed 3,493 lenders and brokers. Of the 3,493 licensees, 3,211 filed their required annual reports. The DBO notified the non-filers of its intent to revoke their licenses.

Data obtained from a small number of licensees who filed annual reports after the aggregate report was compiled is not included. This omission does not materially affect the data in this composite report.

This report and prior years' reports can be found on the DBO' s website at dbo..

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

The number of all consumer loans originated in 2018 increased 9.05 percent, to 1,618,634 from 1,484,257 in 2017. However, the aggregate principal amount of those consumer loans decreased 8.79 percent over the same period, to $33.9 billion from $37.2 billion.

Note that the CFL limits interest rates on consumer loans under $2,500 but does not cap interest rates on consumer loans of $2,500 or higher.

Here are the highlights from the data:

?

The largest category of consumer loans by number was the $2,500-$4,999 range,

which totaled 583,379. Of those loans, 55.51 percent, or 323,818, carried annual

percentage rates (APR) of 100 percent or higher. The principal amount of the triple-digit

APR loans totaled $944 million, which represented 52.15 percent of the aggregate principal

amount in the$2,500-$4,999 range.

The total number and total principal amount of consumer loans in the $2,500-$4,999 range increased by 6.65 percent and 6.54 percent, respectively, from 2017. The total number of triple-digit APR loans in this category increased by 0.75% while the principal amount of triple-digit APR loans increased by 2.37%

?

The number of unsecured consumer loans under $2,500 increased 13.13 percent, to

558,062 from 493,273 in 2017, while the principal amount of such loans increased 19.46

percent over the same period, to $438 million from $367 million. The number of consumer

loans under $2,500 charged-off increased 27.13 percent, to 66,515 from 52,320 in 2017.

?

The total number of Automobiles and Other Motor Vehicles secured consumer loans

charged-off decreased 16.69 percent, to 44,984 from 53,997 in 2017, while the total

principal amount of such loans charged-off decreased 19.26 percent over the same period,

to $527 million from $653 million.

?

Both the total number and total principal amount of Real Property secured consumer

loans in 2018 fell significantly from 2017. The total number of loans decreased 19.44

percent, to 65,872 from 81,765, and the total principal amount decreased 14.42 percent, to

$23.9 billion from $27.9 billion.

?

The total number of consumer loans made online increased 3.07 percent, to 392,906

from 381,197 in 2017. The total principal amount of such loans increased 8.94 percent, to

$4.96 billion from $4.55 billion. The category of unsecured consumer loans of $2,500 or

higher -- which does not have a cap on interest rates ? accounted for 61.98 percent of the

total number and 54.42 percent of the total principal amount of consumer loans made

online.
