American Express Says Card Write-Offs... Bloomberg

06.08.09

By Peter Eichenbaum

Aug. 5 (Bloomberg) -- American Express Co. said make up-offs tied to uncollectible credit-card debts fell to 9.2 percent in July, and the financial slump may be easing.

The decline from 9.9 percent in June on managed holdings may represent real rehabilitation, since seasonal boosts have worn off, Chief Executive Officer Kenneth Chenault said during an investor presenting today. American Express had also reported fewer write-offs in the two previous months. The company said fourth-locality defaults will probably stay below 10 percent.

Analysts had questioned whether soured loans at New York- based AmEx for June were suppressed by tax refunds and federal efforts to arouse the economy. Credit-card defaults for the industry broke 10 percent this year, setting new highs as the jobless classification rose to 9.5 percent in June, the most since 1983.

While the company isn’t ready to “declare victory,” the profitable environment is “stabilizing,” Chenault said. Bankruptcies are rising more slowly than forecast, and the r of the federal stimulus is unclear, the company said.
