ELA recently released the results of the Monthly Leasing Index (MLI) for July 2005. The key metrics highlighted in the July MLI indicate a slight downturn beginning the third quarter. In July, new business volume decreased from June's $4.96 billion to $4.34 billion, representing a 12.4% decrease. Delinquencies (net of unearned income billed but not yet received) fell 0.3% in July to 97.7%. Although small, this indicates a trend over the last four months where delinquencies of 30 days or less have steadily declined from March's high of 98.46%. Credit approval ratios decreased very slightly to 81.9% over June's 82.5%. Average charge-offs, however, decreased, coming in at 0.35%, down from June's 0.48%. The total number of employees also decreased very slightly, dropping 0.3% in July to 9,201 compared to 9,225 in June. This is the third straight month that saw total FTEs drop. This may reflect the slight downturn in new business volume. Because the same companies participate in the study each month, the MLI provides a fairly reliable and consistent trend analysis of current industry activity. Results of each MLI are posted on the ELA website and Equipment Leasing Today magazine. This MLI is conducted monthly by the ELA, which provides a variety of studies, reports, and market analyses covering the $220 billion equipment leasing and finance industry.
