RPC has committed growing time and resources to our staff, operations and to loan customers in this area. Such activities focus on daily, weekly, and monthly detailed internal operations and high-touch activities with loan customers in managing problem loans and delinquencies. As a result, in FY 2024, RPC continued its great loan portfolio performance of helping enhance customer credit, reducing late fees and mitigating losses in monthly loan payments and/or principal. With only one charge-off/default for FY 2024, RPC also experienced Q1, Q2 and Q3 loan portfolio performance due to the aforementioned outputs with a notation that denotes problem loan or delinquencies being positively below our own desired thresholds:
