BOCA RATON, Fla., April 01, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Today NewtekOne, Inc. ("NewtekOne") timely filed its annual report on Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2023. The purpose of this press release is to update and replace NewtekOne's press release dated March 5, 2024, which announced NewtekOne's unaudited fourth quarter and full year 2023 financial results.

NewtekOne, Inc. Reports Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2023 Financial Results

Full Year 2023 Basic Earnings per Share of $1.89 and Diluted Earnings per Share of $1.88

NewtekOne, Inc. (NASDAQ:NEWT), announced today its audited financial and operating results for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2023.

This is NewtekOne's fourth quarter reporting, and third full quarter reporting, as a financial holding company following the Company's January 6, 2023 completion of the acquisition of National Bank of New York City ("NBNYC") (renamed Newtek Bank, N.A.) and the withdrawal of NewtekOne's BDC election. NewtekOne now consolidates the balance sheets and results of operations of its former portfolio companies (now consolidated subsidiaries) and no longer applies investment company accounting.

Barry Sloane, CEO, President and Chairman commented, "We are pleased to report our first full year as a financial holding company owning Newtek Bank, a nationally chartered bank. We achieved basic earnings per share (EPS) of $1.89 and diluted EPS of $1.88. We believe that we can achieve EPS growth in today's environment, given the majority of our net revenue is non-interest-bearing, making our business model unique and valuable. For the full year 2023, Newtek Bank realized return on average assets ("ROAA") of 5.7%, return on tangible common equity ("ROTCE") of 35.7%, and an efficiency ratio of 49.9%. NewtekOne, Newtek Bank's financial holding company, realized ROAA of 3.6%, and ROTCE of 27.6%¹. We believe these metrics clearly depict a thriving business; one that serves independent business owners in all 50 states and that is well positioned for financial and operational growth in future quarters, demonstrated by our expanding net interest margin. Our operating structure does not use branches, traditional bankers, brokers, or business development officers to source business opportunities, and instead, relies upon the patented NewTracker^(R) system which generates approximately 1,000 unique business referrals each day. Unlike other financial holding companies, we have been able to expand our business during these difficult times in the banking sector, which we attribute to our unique and time-tested business model that utilizes technology to minimize or eliminate the concept of traditional bankers, brokers, branches and business development officers. With NewtekOne's common equity Tier 1 capital (CET1) ratio of 16.2%, total capital ratio of 19.1%, and 13.6% leverage ratio, we believe we have the equity to continue to grow our business, pay an attractive market dividend and grow retaining earnings."

Mr. Sloane continued, "With 2023 behind us, we can look back with pride over the year's multiple accomplishments and building a strong foundation for our future. The conversion from a BDC to a financial holding company resulted in the Company no longer qualifying as a regulated investment company (RIC) for federal income tax purposes and no longer qualifying for accounting treatment as an investment company. Accordingly, we believe prior year and year-over-year comparisons are difficult and it is important to analyze many of our financial metrics on a quarter-over-quarter sequential basis. Additionally, when analyzing NewtekOne, we also believe it is important to consider our time-tested, differentiated business model which has provided multiple streams of income from its lines of business. These changes came with many operational and accounting challenges. We are on a path to realizing our goal of being recognized as the premier business and financial solutions provider for independent business owners in the U.S. By purchasing a nationally chartered bank, we were able to add depository services to our already-robust menu of high-quality business and financial solutions that we believe can enable our clients to operate at a higher level. Most of our clients go to their depository institutions multiple times per week or month. Extremely important to note is that our conversion to a bank holding company in no way implies that NewtekOne and Newtek Bank will look like or operate like the universe of traditional bank holding companies or banks. As a result, we do not think we should be valued like a traditional bank, as our business model offers our investors more than net interest income, and therefore, we believe should garner distinct valuation compared to the universe of traditional banks. We also value this non-interest income as reoccurring income. We firmly believe that our business model can be executed with prudent risk management practices while servicing our clients with multiple solutions that can enhance their business and commercial endeavors. Our operating metrics are built on growth objectives with respect to ROA, ROE, and efficiency ratios, which we believe is distinct from the asset-growth strategies of the traditional banking industry."

NewtekOne Fourth Quarter 2023 Financial Highlight

As noted above, we believe it is important to analyze many of our financial metrics on a quarter-over-quarter sequential basis:

Total SBA 7(a) loan fundings of $260.7 million for the three months ended December 31, 2023; an increase of 24.2% over $209.9 million of SBA 7(a) loans funded for the three months ended September 30, 2023.

Total SBA 504 loan closings of $142.9 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2023.
Newtek Bank and the Company's non-bank subsidiaries closed a record$1.1 billion of loans, across all loan products, for the twelve months ended December 31, 2023, compared to $923.8 million of loans closed by NewtekOne, its subsidiaries and portfolio companies for the same period in 2022.

The Company's 2023 prior-period comparative financial statements have been adjusted to correct errors made in the Company's condensed financial statements previously issued in the first, second, and third quarters of 2023. Amounts referenced in this press release refer to results on an "As Adjusted" basis unless otherwise noted. Specifically, as set forth in the "Summary of Revisions to Prior Period Financial Statements," annexed hereto, which revises certain line items in the Company's condensed financial information for the first, second, and third quarters of 2023 as previously reported, the Company's: (i) year-to-date EPS (basic and diluted) reflects an increase of $0.36 per share and $0.36 per share, respectively; (ii) year-to-date Net Income reflects an increase of $7.9 million; and (iii) Total Assets reflects an increase of $15.3 million. The increases in Total Assets was primarily driven by the recognition of net deferred tax assets and income tax receivables as well as intangible assets. The increases in Net Income resulted principally from the after-tax impact of the recognition of servicing assets at Newtek Bank, and the recognition of deferred loan origination costs, net, in connection with accounting for loans originated by Newtek Bank. The revised calculations of EPS are attributed to application of the treasury stock and if-converted methods, as well as revisions to the allocation of undistributed earnings to preferred stock under the two class method, in conjunction with other adjustments to net income. The Company's management continues to assess the effectiveness of the Company's internal controls over financial reporting ("ICFR"), including any deficiencies in ICFR which led to these accounting errors.

Continuing, Mr. Sloane said, "The goal of owning a nationally chartered bank was driven by recognizing that our client base communicates with their bank digitally with high frequency, so the opportunity and our ability to communicate with our clients through our Newtek Advantage® platform, and assist them on a daily basis to become part of their operating ecosystem, has been our goal and is now closer to reality. We have witnessed the customer traffic to Newtekone.com and Newtekbank.com increase to approximately 18,000 unique digital visitors per month, providing our customers with the opportunity to access the Newtek Advantage®, communicate with us, and see all we have to offer. We seek to employ the most cutting-edge technology and AI in order to enhance the client experience, improve work flow processes, and acquire clients in an environment that has less friction and higher levels of business satisfaction."

Mr. Sloane concluded, "We spent a good part of 2023 building out our bank infrastructure, continuing to hire top-quality executives and establishing additional policies and procedures, all at a great expense, an investment we believe will provide a great return in the future. Obviously, the investment and upfront expense is to better enable us to safely and soundly grow our business, and develop a lasting infrastructure. Also important to note, is that we have been able to grow our loan-loss reserves dramatically during our first twelve months of operations ending December 31, 2023. We ended 2023 with a 3.7% loan loss reserve to loans held for investment, and we expect to prudently manage credit risk and related reserves as the future conditions of the economy take shape."

This earnings release should be read in conjunction with NewtekOne's annual report on Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2023, filed with the SEC on April 1, 2024.

Summary of Revisions to Prior Period Consolidated Financial Statements

As of January 6, 2023, the Company is no longer subject to Financial Accounting Standard Board Accounting Standards Codification (FASB) Topic (ASC) 946 Financial Services – Investment Companies, which resulted in a significant change in the Company's accounting and financial reporting requirements for the year ended December 31, 2023. For example, the Company is required to consolidate the financial statements of what was previously referred to as our controlled or majority-owned investments together with those already consolidated by the Company. In accordance with ASC 946, prior to January 6, 2023, the Company was required to account for investments, loans and other receivables at fair value. For fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, the Company is now required to account for debt securities under ASC 320, loans and other receivables, including modifications and restructurings under ASC 310, and must apply the current expected credit loss model to each of these financial instruments under ASC 326. Additionally, management continues to elect the fair value option of accounting under ASC 825 for certain financial instruments. Finally, as a result of the conversion, the Company no longer qualifies as a RIC for federal income tax purposes, and no longer qualifies for accounting treatment as an investment company, therefore management has been required to expend significant efforts in order to implement these changes in accounting and financial reporting requirements.

The Company's condensed comparative financial statements have been adjusted to correct errors made in the Company's financial statements previously issued for the first, second, and third quarters of 2023. These adjustments include the following adjustments for the year-to-date period ended September 30, 2023:

Accounting for deferred loan origination fees and costs, net, under ASC 310 resulting for the year-to-date period ended September 30, 2023, in (a) a $5.1 million and $5.7 million decrease in non-interest income and non-interest expense, respectively, and (b) net increases to pretax income of $0.6 million (the Company was not applying the standard to its SBA 7(a) HFI at amortized cost or to its SBA 504 HFS at LCM portfolios);
Calculating EPS under ASC 260 (a) exclude stock compensation awards from average basic shares outstanding and (b) adjust average diluted shares to reflect the (i) treasury stock method for stock compensation awards and warrants and (ii) the if-converted method for preferred stock and (c) adjusting the allocation under the two-class method to align with the contractual limitations for preferred stock, all of which result in quarterly increases per share for both basic and diluted EPS for the first three quarters of 2023;
Establishing net deferred net tax assets and income taxes receivable under ASC 740 in conjunction with the common control transaction, as of January 6, 2023, specifically to recognize (a) the book tax differences on the inside basis of the assets and liabilities that were consolidated as of that date (b) net amounts receivable from tax authorities and (c) deferred tax assets arising from a change in taxpayer filing status in conjunction with the Reorganization, all of which resulted in increased net deferred tax assets and income taxes receivable of $10.0 million and an increase to additional paid in capital of $2.9 million and an income tax benefit of $7.1 million. The results of these adjustments impacted period end balances on the statements of financial condition and year-to-date amounts on the statements of income for each period presented;
Establishing certain servicing assets under ASC 860 in conjunction with the common control transaction and servicing assets that stemmed from loan originations that occurred following January 6, 2023, resulting in a $1.0 million increase in non-interest income and a $1.5 million increase in servicing assets; and
An adjusting opening balance sheet entry in conjunction with common control transaction to correct (a) net understatements of goodwill and intangibles and stockholders' equity resulting in respective increases of $3.9 million and (b) amortization of intangible assets.

The year-to-date and quarterly impact of these adjustments for the periods presented are outlined in the unaudited tables below.
