Navient reports Q1 core EPS 47c, consensus 58c

“We have made substantial progress on the three strategic actions launched earlier this year to outsource student loan servicing, explore strategic options for our business processing division, and streamline our shared service infrastructure and corporate footprint,” said David Yowan, president and CEO, Navient. “We are nearing completion of a final outsourcing agreement – which will pave the way for the transition of nearly 900 employees to support seamless service for our customers. Further, we expect to be in a position to decide on the options to divest our business processing division. We are beginning to execute our plans for a leaner company. When completed, we believe these actions will simplify our business, reduce our expense base, and increase our financial and operating flexibility.”
