Integration and Growth of Consumer Finance Business
The Company is pleased to announce that the integration of EcoHome into Dealnet's existing consumer finance business is progressing well. Our collective sales team is focused on growing originations in the HVAC and home improvement sector. The physical operations of EcoHome have now moved to the offices of Dealnet's consumer finance business. The Company also continues to invest in innovative technology around its mobile lending platform to enhance the consumer and dealer experience.
Dealnet's consolidated loan portfolio as of the end of February 2016 now stands at approximately $80 million and the Company continues to originate a significant volume of high quality leases and loans weekly.
Dealer Additions
The Company continues to attract high quality dealers and has dozens in various stages of on-boarding. Earlier in March, the Company signed a five-year exclusivity agreement with a large HVAC dealer in Ontario who is incented to originate in excess of $15 million per year over the term of the agreement. The Company is also in discussions with a number of strategic partners, including industry associations and equipment manufacturers that have the potential to drive significant originations of finance products. The Company expects to close additional large volume wins throughout 2016.
Underwriting Capacity
As part of the EcoHome acquisition, existing EcoHome facilities were migrated with the transaction providing EcoHome and Dealnet with an attractive cost of capital, reducing Dealnet's overall cost of underwriting. The Company is currently in advanced discussions with a number of additional lenders and is negotiating underwriting capacity to support the expected growth in our consumer finance business. The Company expects to bring these additional facilities online over the coming months and will provide further updates in due course.
