Credit Acceptance Corporation (CACC) Investigation:

The investigation concerns Credit Acceptance’s repeated assurances, as recently as Feb. 11, 2020, that the company maintained in all material respects effective internal controls over financial reporting.

On Mar. 25, 2020, Citron Research published a report (1) highlighting the steep upward trend in subprime auto loan delinquencies, (2) observing “[o]ver the years CACC has been taking on riskier and lower return loans and hiding the true volatility of its earnings through aggressive accounting,” and (3) questioning the accuracy of the reported book value of the company’s loans.

Then, on Apr. 20, 2020, the company announced it would not timely file its quarterly report for the period ended Mar. 31, 2020. 

On May 27, 2020, the company filed its belated quarterly report disclosing, among other things, an allowance for credit losses of approximately $3.24 billion, or a whopping 33% of its approximately $9.86 billion loans receivable.

These matters have driven the price of Credit Acceptance shares sharply lower.

“We’re focused on whether Credit Acceptance may have misled investors about the credit quality of its loan portfolio,” said Reed Kathrein, the Hagens Berman partner leading the investigation.
