Barry Sloane, Chairman, President, and Chief Executive Officer commented, “We are more than pleased to report our first quarter 2024 financial results. We broke several records this quarter and continue to perform exceptionally well as a financial holding company. We achieved EPS of $0.38, basic and diluted, in the first quarter 2024. as compared to first quarter 2023 EPS basic and diluted of $0.76 and $0.74, respectively, as previously restated, which was positively impacted by an income tax benefit. However, on a core EPS basis, we outperformed first quarter 2023 EPS of $0.17 and $0.16 per basic and diluted share, as well as exceeded the high end of our first quarter 2024 EPS forecast of $0.19 to $0.25 per basic and diluted common share.¹ We are modestly increasing our 2024 annual earnings guidance to $1.85 to $2.05 per basic and diluted common share from our previous forecast of $1.80 to $2.00 per basic and diluted common share. Our out performance for the first quarter of 2024 was led by Newtek Bank's SBA 7(a) loan fundings of $207.1 million, a 35.9% increase over $152.5 million SBA 7(a) fundings for the same period last year. Our alternative loan program, through NewtekOne's non-bank subsidiary, generated record closings of $53.8 million during the first quarter 2024, compared to $12.2 million closed in the first quarter 2023. It is important to note that we continue to increase our loan loss reserves and our coverage ratio at Newtek Bank, and as of March 31, 2024, we had approximately 406 basis points of loan loss reserves, which is an increase from 374 basis points at December 31, 2023. We believe this reserve will normalize at approximately 350 basis points as more traditional bank loan products come onto our balance sheet. Having been in the SBA lending business since 2003, we are confident that we fully understand the risk versus reward of being an SBA lender. We weathered the 2008/2009 credit crisis, the COVID-19 pandemic, and have experienced both high and low interest-rate environments. With this history in mind, we continue to give careful consideration to the current economic conditions, and believe that we are maintaining an appropriate level of reserves for our book of loans. We feel good about our practices and where we are, predicated on over two decades of lending history, experience and management, and would expect to be analyzed within this framework.”

Mr. Sloane continued, “In addition to Newtek Bank's strong performance in lending, Newtek Bank continued to raise deposits, growing deposits by approximately 8.9% from the $519.1 million at December 31, 2023 to $565.3 million at March 31, 2024. Our ability to gather deposits against an industry backdrop of U.S commercial banks that only grew deposits by approximately 1.2% from December 27, 2023 to March 27, 2024, according to an April 11, 2024 report by S&P Global Market Intelligence, demonstrates that our strategy of utilizing digital account opening together with our thousands of prospects of independent business owners can enable us to generate this deposit growth at Newtek Bank. Key financial metrics at Newtek Bank also saw sequential growth over the fourth quarter 2023. Newtek Bank's net interest margin expanded from 4.43% during the fourth quarter 2023 to 4.80% during the first quarter 2024; and net interest income increased by 16.7% sequentially to $7.7 million during the first quarter 2024 from $6.6 million during the fourth quarter 2023. Newtek Bank experienced a ROAA of 5.8% and a ROTCE of 37.9%, which was accomplished with an efficiency ratio of 50.1% for Q1 2024. Furthermore, we also continued to deliver strong metrics in key areas on a consolidated basis in the first quarter 2024 with a ROAA of 2.8% and ROTCE of 20.6%. Based on the confidence in our business model, during the first quarter 2024 the board declared a quarterly dividend of $0.19 per share, an increase of 5.6% over the prior quarter's dividend of $0.18 per share.”

Mr. Sloane further stated, “We can't underscore enough the transformative change from a 1940’s Act business development company (BDC) to a 1934 Act financial holding company. This transformation, however, makes it very difficult in many aspects for accurate year-over-year comparisons. Moreover, when looking at a comparison of our EPS for the first quarter 2024 versus the first quarter 2023, we noted that our first quarter 2023 EPS included an income tax benefit of approximately $14.2 million, or $0.59 per basic share and $0.58 per diluted share, respectively. On a core EPS basis, we outperformed in the first quarter of 2024 versus 2023. Additionally, during the first quarter of 2023 our SBA 7(a) loans were originated out of our non-bank lender using fair value accounting with no CECL reserve, which, among other things, reduces current income for the benefit of future income. Therefore, when looking at our first quarter 2024 performance with sharp focus, we clearly had strong quarterly performance on a comparative basis.”

Mr. Sloane added, “We still have room for our returns to improve as we complete our fourth full quarter after transitioning our SBA 7(a) loan production to Newtek Bank in April 2023. Our funding costs continue to be lower at Newtek Bank, versus our funding costs for the first quarter of 2023, when we were still originating our SBA 7(a) loans out of our non-bank lender (NSBF). Our 20- plus-year track record of originating quality loans for sale into the secondary market have demonstrated generous returns for our shareholders. We look forward to continuing to drive funding costs down as we expect to fully roll out our lower-cost business checking accounts to our large client database in our marketing plan. Our business plan requires us to ensure that we have the proper staff, software, policies and procedures, and compliance measures in place to raise deposits in a regulatory-compliant manner, which, in 2023, limited our growth in commercial deposits. We slowly rolled out this product in the first quarter of 2024 to a pilot group of lending clients and firmly believe that we will see growth in this depository area for the remainder of the year. Our commercial demand deposit account pays a 1.0% annual percentage yield (“APY”) and our commercial money market account pays a 3.5% APY while providing our independent business owner customers added benefits, through the Newtek Advantage™. We believe the Newtek Advantage, especially when bundled with our bank and non-bank service offerings, provides a tremendous competitive advantage in comparison to our competitors who offer lower deposit rates, charge higher fees, and do not offer the benefits that we offer through the Newtek Advantage. These benefits include, but are not limited to, free document storage, free web-traffic analytics, merchant services data and payroll execution directly from the client’s business portal. By growing this portion of our deposit base, it will give us additional stability and diversification of core deposits at Newtek Bank as well as lower our cost of funds. It is important to note that our deposits, on a consolidated basis, are made up of approximately 76% insured deposits. This metric is extremely important as it demonstrates our ability to attract smaller balances on a diversified basis versus the more volatile higher-balance deposits that upon which our competitor banks rely.”

Mr. Sloane concluded, “We are very proud of what our management team has been able to accomplish, creating the foundation for a business that leverages technology, manages risk and is scalable and compliant. We continue to be pleased with what we have accomplished as a financial holding company. We expect the capital markets to gain confidence in our business model’s earnings, growth and consistently high returns on equity and assets. Our success is predicated on our unique, progressive state-of-the-art business model, one that does not depend upon branches, traditional bankers, brokers, or expensive business development officers, which has been tested and has succeeded over the last 25 years. Our experience has taught us that the equity markets appreciate growth of earnings and returns no matter what the business model, and we expect to consistently deliver on our expectations."
