In North America North America, third largest continent (1990 est. pop. 365,000,000), c.9,400,000 sq mi (24,346,000 sq km), the northern of the two continents of the Western Hemisphere. , the Company has experienced reduced loan originations The examples and perspective in this article or section may not represent a worldwide view of the subject. Please [ improve this article] or discuss the issue on the talk page. due to a reduction in the number of active dealer-partners, partially offset by an increase in the number of loans per active dealer-partner. The reduction in active dealer-partners was primarily due to the Company exiting dealer-partner relationships that did not meet its return on capital goals. This occurred most dramatically in the first quarter of 2002. The number of active dealer-partners remained relatively constant during the second half of 2002. While origination Origination The process through which a mortgage lender creates a mortgage secured by some amount of the mortgagor's real property. Notes: Also known as loan origination, everyone must go through the origination process when securing a mortgage for a piece of real levels continued to be lower in the fourth quarter compared to the same period in 2001, the rate of decline slowed during the quarter. The percentage change in unit volumes compared to the prior year same period were -20%, -13% and 2% for October October: see month. , November November: see month. , and December, respectively. The reduction in loan origination volume in the United Kingdom was a result of the Company's increased focus on improving the return on capital. To improve the United Kingdom's return on capital the Company has increased the spread between the advance rate and the forecasted collection rate and stopped accepting business from a large dealer group whose business did not meet the Company's return on capital objectives. In order for these changes to result in improved returns on capital, increased unit volume will be required in order to absorb absorb To offset sell orders or a new security offering with buy orders. fixed operating expenses Operating expenses The amount paid for asset maintenance or the cost of doing business, excluding depreciation. Earnings are distributed after operating expenses are deducted. .
