SLM Corporation provides an investor presentation outlining private education loan growth, credit quality trends, and impacts from recent federal student loan reforms. The company reports that its private education market share rose from 52% in 2020 to 63% at year-end 2025, with a +1.7% market share increase in Q1 2026 while the rest of the market saw minimal growth.
Credit quality metrics remain strong, with an average FICO at approval of 754 and 95% of loans cosigned in Q1 2026, both slightly above the prior-year quarter. Despite underwriting tightening that the company estimates affected about 10% of annual originations, private education loan originations grew +16% from 2023 to 2025.
The presentation discusses federal reforms in H.R.1, effective for new borrowers beginning July 1, 2026. Over several years, the company expects these reforms to increase originations by up to 70% and ultimately add an estimated $4.5–$5 billion in annual originations once the shift is complete. SLM also highlights new graduate and professional loan products launched in 2026, which have driven application growth of +117% for medical and dental loans and +34% for graduate and law loans versus the prior-year period.
Loss performance is described as broadly stable overall, with 30+ day delinquencies between about 3.54%–3.78% and net charge-offs between 2.15%–2.55% of average loans in repayment from 2022–2025. However, a small “impacted segment” of high-ability-to-pay borrowers linked to misaligned third‑party debt resolution practices has seen outsized gross charge-offs. This segment represented only 0.08% of the portfolio as of 2026 but about 6.40% of total on-balance sheet gross charge-offs as of April 30, 2026.
In response, SLM is pausing recovery loan sales and certain settlement strategies and shifting to internally controlled recovery approaches. The company states that if it does not resume third-party recovery strategies in 2026, full-year 2026 net charge-offs could increase by approximately $25 million, with an expectation of recovery over time through internal strategies. Management emphasizes that, excluding the impacted segment, recent repayment-wave losses have remained broadly stable and only modestly above expectations.
SLM Corporation completed an offering of $500,000,000 of 6.495% Fixed-to-Floating Rate Senior Notes due 2032. The notes pay a fixed 6.495% annual interest rate until May 15, 2031, then switch to a floating rate equal to a benchmark plus 271 basis points until maturity.
Interest is paid semi-annually during the fixed period and quarterly during the floating period. The company may redeem the notes at specified prices and must offer to repurchase them at 101% of principal plus interest upon certain change of control events.
SLM intends to use the net proceeds primarily to fund a tender offer for its 3.125% senior notes due 2026, including accrued interest and related fees, and to repay any remaining 2026 notes at maturity.
