Auto Finance Market Profits from Pricing and Profitability Management Suite from Nomis Solutions

Posted on by


San Bruno, CA (PRWEB) December 2, 2008

Nomis Solutions, a leader in best-in-class Pricing and Profitability Management for financial services companies, today announced the immediate availability of its suite of solutions and services specifically tailored for auto finance companies. The Nomis Pricing and Profitability Management SuiteTM for Auto Finance capitalizes on Nomis Solutions’ domain expertise within auto finance and includes pricing, offer and portfolio optimization capabilities. Through a combination of advanced analytics, innovative technology, and tailored business practices and processes, the Suite for Auto Finance improves financial and operational performance.

A number of the world’s leading auto finance and bank executives were granted an exclusive preview of the Nomis Solutions Pricing and Profitability Management Suite at the Global Pricing Optimization Forum in New York. John William Snow, chairman of Cerberus Capital Management and former Secretary of the Treasury, delivered the keynote address and said, “Mis-pricing leads to misallocation of resources and waste in the system. In the current situation, mis-pricing has lead to cataclysmic results. But, businesses that are going to make it and break through to the other side are going to have to use analytics to really understand their customers in a way that’s beyond what they are doing today. We are doing it at Cerberus because we know it’s critical to success.”

Burdened by a combination of decreasing auto sales, declining margins, increasing losses, and a scarcity and higher cost of capital, auto finance executives need to be proactive and look for new approaches to pricing and profitability management. With the ability to quantify consumer response to pricing, executives can align pricing goals and a pricing strategy with business objectives and financial performance targets. This approach also supports an intelligent debate on the inevitable tradeoffs such as profit, volume and risk goals, tier/term mix, credit score distribution, and loan-to-value (LTV). Once performance goals are set, prices can be optimized to achieve profit, volume and credit mix targets from the portfolio level down to the micro-segment level.

Auto loans are the second largest subsector of asset-backed securities (ABS). Auto finance companies that are reliant on the ABS market are finding capital scarce and investors are demanding to know more about the underlying assets. This combination has resulted in an extremely selective secondary market that is requiring loan portfolios that are “originated-to-order” – meaning investors want transparent loan portfolios that offer only certain types of financing products to certain types of borrowers. However, most executives don’t have visibility into the makeup of the portfolio they would build based on the prices they are planning to put into the market. With Nomis Solutions Pricing and Profitability Management Suite, auto finance executives are able to forecast what they can expect to acquire as a result of a pricing action before putting prices into the market. The ability to predict the impact of price on consumer response enables them to optimize their credit and term mix within the context of their risk and ABS conduit tolerances.

The Pricing and Profitability Management Suite for Auto Finance includes:


Nomis Offer Optimizer: The Nomis Offer Optimizer is built for credit analysts that engage in deal-by-deal negotiations and want to customize offers to meet the needs of the auto finance company, the Finance & Insurance Manager, and end-consumer. This solution centralizes all the key data inputs required to make an informed decision, such as the characteristics of the borrower, vehicle and dealer, dealer history and the proposed deal terms. It also provides simulation and optimization capabilities for deal structuring and pricing so that credit analysts understand the impact of various options on key performance indicators (KPIs) such as profits and deal conversion before responding to the dealer.
Nomis Navigator: Designed specifically for senior management responsible for one product, a line of business with multiple products, or multiple lines of business, the Nomis Navigator is an executive dashboard that provides enhanced visibility into critical banking metrics for auto finance companies. This includes capturing actual and forecasted performance over time and highlighting areas of exposure in new originations by providing cautionary guidance and profit opportunities in the existing portfolio. It can be configured to meet the needs of a bank executive that is interested in better tracking KPIs such as volume, profit, credit mix, by product, geography and customer segment. In addition, alerts can be set up to quickly identify, diagnose and respond to emerging problems.
Nomis Price Optimizer: Created for executives responsible for pricing loan and deposit products who want to capitalize on strategic pricing to drive financial performance from the portfolio down to the micro-segment level. The award-winning Nomis Price Optimizer is the backbone of the Pricing and Profitability Suite and delivers a clear understanding of consumer response and how price impacts performance. By leveraging this information, pricing teams can quickly pinpoint which segments are incorrectly priced and better tailor pricing decisions to meet performance targets. Nomis Price Optimizer also helps build a more attractive portfolio mix to meet the “originations to order” requirements of the securitizations market.

“Nomis Solutions’ continued focus on the Auto Finance market in the U.S. and Canada is changing the way in which traditional and non-traditional lending institutions compete and service their customers,” said Frank Rohde, chief marketing officer at Nomis Solutions. “Auto Finance has always been astute at creating pricing models that account for the depreciation of the asset, incorporating customer response data and market and attitudinal changes. Nomis Solutions’ Pricing and Profitability Management for Auto Finance provides an integrated platform allowing executives to make decisions to better manage and optimize lending practices for profit improvements.”

Today’s announcement of Pricing and Profitability Management Suite for Auto Finance is complemented by the release of the Pricing and Profitability Management Suite for Retail Banks. Both solutions were unveiled to more than 75 bank and finance executives at the Pricing and Profitability Executive Forum in New York, and at the Pricing & Profitability Executive Summit in Europe that was co-hosted by TowerGroup and Nomis Solutions.

Capmark Finance Inc. Originates $2.1 Million to Refinance Griffin Auto Park in Dallas CBD

Posted on by


Dallas, TX (Vocus) December 11, 2008

Capmark Finance, Inc. has originated a $ 2,100,000 loan to refinance Griffin Auto Park for a local ownership group. The six-story, 539-space parking garage is located in the southeast section of downtown Dallas known as the Government District. The loan has a 10-year term, 20-year amortization and a fixed interest rate below 7 percent.

One of only a few private parking garages in downtown Dallas, Griffin Auto Park has the added advantage of being located within walking distance of Dallas City Hall, the Dallas Convention Center, the Earle Cabell Federal Courthouse Building and a number of other downtown office buildings.

Vice President Ashley Harkness, a mortgage banker in Capmark’s Dallas office, originated the loan, which was funded by Aviva Investors North America. The borrower was Griffin Street Auto Park, Ltd.

“Capmark Finance helped the borrower refinance a maturing securitized loan by arranging the debt through one of our correspondent life insurance companies,” said Mr. Harkness. “It is noteworthy that we were able to secure financing with a favorable interest rate for a parking garage despite one of the most difficult credit environments in recent memory,” he continued.

myAutoloan.com Experiences Dramatic Increase in Auto Loan Demand for 2nd Quarter 2009

Posted on by

Irving, Texas (PRWEB) July 12, 2009

myAutoloan.com, an online direct to customer auto finance company, has seen a 113.4% percent increase in applications for the second quarter 2009 compared to second quarter 2008. Just as dramatic, comparatively, the second quarter of 2009 to the first quarter 2009 has shown an increase of 77.6%. The demand for direct to consumer auto finance has jumped significantly during the first six months of 2009.

Finance applications for the purchase of new and used cars as well as refinance loans, has risen sharply due much in part to the increase demand for the limited indirect financing that is available through traditional channels at dealerships. These traditional channels have left consumers without options thereby leaving consumers to apply online in search of alternative financing. They have been driven to expand their search options and through the internet, the consumer is finding alternative financing solutions. This is clearly resulting in the large increase of auto loan application volume.

“We are absolutely delighted to be in a position to help so many people with solutions to their auto finance needs,” said Dale L. Peterson, President of myAutoloan.com “and once again, this continues to signal that demand for direct to consumer lending for the purchase of new and used autos and auto refinance loans is much bigger than the supply of financing. We experienced the same strong demand in the first quarter as we see lenders tighten credit and leave the direct market because of a lack of available ABS securitization.”

Peterson also stated that, “As we monitor the month to month activity, the strength of the demand from direct consumer financing customers continues to search for a relaxation of some of the overly cautious parameters they are evaluating applicants by. We’ve seen interest rates increase, and credit qualifications become so narrowly defined that all anyone can do is wait for lenders to increase their activity. We seriously believe that it’s a matter of time before visionary companies enter and capture market share in this direct to consumer market.

“It is still a very challenging marketplace,” Peterson said, “with all that has happened, the Big three automakers, the bailouts, the reorganizations and restructurings in just the last 90 days. However, we continue to be excited about the future and are pleased with the positive growth that we have been able to achieve. Although uncertainty remains as to when credit will loosen up, the industry will emerge stronger and more prepared to meet the changing needs of the consumer market. Our overall long term outlook of our industry remains positive.”

myAutoloan.com Continues to Lead Industry with Newest Innovation – Direct to Indirect Auto Financing

Posted on by

Irving, Texas (PRWEB) August 3, 2009

myAutoloan.com, an online auto finance company, is launching its newest innovative product expansion to their marketplace lending platform to include, direct-to-indirect lending. This expanded lending product enhances the company’s marketplace lending platform leveraging its patent pending Preferred Placement℠ technology. Preferred Placement℠ matches consumers to direct lenders through a sophisticated scoring process resulting in a high approval rate and funded loans.

The marketplace lending platform that now includes, ‘Direct-to-Indirect’ leverages current economic conditions, and provides an innovative hybrid model that matches consumers to indirect lenders. This process utilizes established technologies and processes but allows for the addition of indirect lenders and their dealer networks. Typically direct lending customers receive a check-in-hand and can shop with any franchised dealer they choose. The expanded platform will match indirect approved customers, as well as, matched to the approving lender’s dealer network to close the loan.

Online customers will continue to benefit from the additional lenders available to approve and fund their auto loan. Lenders benefit from the additional quality customer base that myAutoloan.com presents, translateing into additional funded loans. Dealerships will benefit from the additional finance approved customer traffic directed to their businesses, thereby selling more cars.

The demand for both direct and indirect online auto financing has jumped significantly during the first six months of 2009. Finance applications for the purchase of new and used cars, as well as refinance loans, has risen sharply due much in part to the increase demand for the auto loan financing that diminished due to lending institution restrictions or exits from the auto lending marketplace.

These channels left consumers without options, and consequently, consumers have begun to apply online in search of alternative financing. They eagerly expanded their options searching for alternative financing solutions. This resulted in a large increase of auto loan application volume.

“We are absolutely delighted to be in a position to launch this latest marketplace platform lending product, and we’re confident it will delight our customers, lenders, and their dealers,” said Gregory Thibodeau, CEO of myAutoloan.com “Challenging markets lead the way for new product opportunities, and the direct-to indirect expansion, as presented by myAutoloan.com, is innovative and in strong demand.”

We believe that this continues to signal that demand for direct to consumer lending for the purchase of new and used autos, and that auto refinance loans are much bigger than the supply of financing. We experienced the same strong demand in the first quarter as we see lenders tighten credit and leave the direct market because of a lack of available ABS securitization.”

Thibodeau also stated that, “As we monitor the month to month activity, the strength of the demand that we see from our marketplace lending platform shows that customers continue to search for a less hostile lending alternatives. This is because of the overly cautious parameters that lenders are using to evaluate financing applicants.
