Barry Sloane, CEO, President and Chairman said, “Having completed two full years since our January 6, 2023 acquisition of Newtek Bank (formerly known as the National Bank of New York City) and transitioning from a Business Development Company to a financial holding company owning a nationally chartered bank, we could not be more pleased with our ability to achieve our key metrics and milestones. We are a technology-based organization that is innovative and blanketed in a bank holding company wrapper. Since the acquisition, we have faced and successfully overcome many hurdles, including: demonstrating that we can raise deposits; transitioning loan originations and growth into Newtek Bank; and successfully operating as a financial holding company. For example, deposits on December 31, 2022, when we acquired Newtek Bank, were $142 million, and we have grown Newtek Bank’s deposits3 by more than 600% to $1.04 billion on December 31, 2024, representing phenomenal growth in just two years. Additionally, Newtek Bank’s loan portfolio grew by more than 360% from $167 million on December 31, 2022, to $774 million on December 31, 2024. During this two-year period, our business plan and model remained centered on our strategy of deposit growth, loan growth, and the development of the Newtek Advantage®. As an example of this development, we announced last week that the Newtek Advantage now integrates with Intuit QuickBooks®, providing independent business owners with a real-time snapshot into their finances. Specifically, this integration allows business owners using the Newtek Advantage and QuickBooks to access and display essential financial data from QuickBooks, including revenue, gross profits, net profits, account balances, invoices (with aging), and bills. This financial data is viewable in real time, with filtering options by day, month, or year, enabling customers to stay informed and make timely decisions with confidence. This feature complements the existing components of the Newtek Advantage, which includes real-time credit card payment tracking for batches and settlements, access to Newtek Bank, Newtek payroll services, free unlimited document storage, and free website analytics. Together, these tools provide a comprehensive 360-degree financial solution that gives independent business owners unparalleled control and visibility into their operations. Furthermore, our management team has done an excellent job of growing Newtek Bank’s assets, liabilities, and profits while maintaining what we believe are appropriate levels of capital and loan loss reserves, and achieving strong profitability. We believe that as we strive to continue to achieve our performance metrics and demonstrate our ability to earn outsized returns on equity and assets, market opportunities will continue to come our way. For the full year 2024, NewtekOne’s ROTCE, and ROAA were 24.1% and 3.2%, respectively, which we believe are leading metrics in the bank and bank holding company space. Achieving these results while simultaneously being able to manage a portfolio of loans with a higher risk and reward profile, is something that we, as an organization, are familiar with, as this has been our business model for over two decades.”
Mr. Sloane added, “During our conference call tomorrow morning, we will focus on metrics such as pre-provision net revenue, as well as our percentage of non-interest income as a percentage of total income, which we believe can demonstrate how we are one of the top performers in the market regarding these metrics. We will also provide a more in-depth explanation regarding the loss default curves, both at the holding company and in Newtek Bank, which we believe are unique to our SBA 7(a) portfolio. This data will illustrate that we have an appropriate amount of loss reserves in our provisions, and that our returns can be less sensitive to credit deterioration compared to the banks and bank holding companies in our space. Slide 12 in our earnings conference call presentation will demonstrate the net increase in non accruals before charge offs peaked in the second quarter of 2024 and the subsequent decline of almost 50% in the fourth quarter of 2024. It is also important to highlight that we made progress in the fourth quarter of 2024 to diversify our Newtek Bank loan portfolio with lower margin, less risky, conforming, commercial, and industrial business loans as well as current vintage multi-tenanted commercial real estate loans. We believe we can continue to diversify the loan portfolio at Newtek Bank and can do this going forward without sacrificing our ability to generate what we view as industry leading ROTCE and ROAA. We will also discuss how we intend to grow Newtek Bank’s conforming CRE and C&I loans, and SBA 504 loans at a faster rate than our SBA 7(a) loans in 2025. NewtekOne’s full year 2025 EPS forecast incorporates an expectation of generating $500 million of new originations in the ALP loan portfolio, another important and growing segment of our business model. We anticipate our third ALP securitization will occur during the first half of 2025.”
Mr. Sloane further commented, “We believe that an investor in NewtekOne should look beyond the typical bank and bank holding company narrow focus on credit, provisions for credit losses, charge offs, and deposit rates of interest. Indeed, for over two decades, we have chosen not to avoid credit risk, but rather to seek to effectively manage a portfolio of loans and the risk associated with them and earn outsized returns. We believe we have demonstrated over the two years of owning Newtek Bank that our higher levels of provisions and charge offs are in our business plan and are included in our 2025 expectations, and further, should be measured against the high rewards we believe we can achieve as a result of having developed an expertise in the area of providing financing to independent business owners. After two full years of operations and financial results, including metrics such as our credit loss reserves, charge offs, well-capitalized balance sheet, and returns on equity and assets, we continue to believe in our ability to generate profits. We believe that our business model, with higher margins and lower operating expenses, has the ability to generate an attractive risk and reward scenario for all of our stakeholders with the capability to continue to grow our earnings on a go-forward basis.”
Mr. Sloane concluded, “During our conference call tomorrow, we look forward to further elaborating on our unique and attractive business model, which we believe can address the bank holding company and bank industry issues of high-quality asset originations with razor-thin margins, as well as expensive infrastructure to acquire customers, using traditional bankers, branches, brokers, and business development officers. Newtek Bank is a true technology-enabled bank. During our two-decade history of using our patented NewTracker® system and alliance partner model, through which we receive an average of 600 to 900 unique business referrals daily, we have been able to operate below industry-level efficiency ratios of 43.6% for Newtek Bank, and 63.2% for NewtekOne in 2024. Moreover, the industry’s business model is predicated on raising deposits at 2% to 3% below the risk-free treasury rate without offering depositors anything special for the inexpensive liabilities, or non-interest-bearing accounts, especially given today’s market where deposits can be moved with the click of a mouse or the finger movement on a smartphone. We believe our business model can overcome obstacles in a compliant and frictionless manner that is highly attractive to our independent business owner client base due to, among other things, the Newtek Advantage. The Newtek Advantage can give independent business owner clientele true value by offering things like free document storage, free updated web tracking, analytics, payment processing in the business portal, data in the business portal, ability to make payroll in the business portal, integration with QuickBooks, and other benefits which can enable us to acquire and grow our business deposit clientele, particularly with the integration of payment processing and payroll with our Bank’s checking accounts. We are pleased we were able to grow our business accounts significantly in 2024 and anticipate further growth in 2025 due to, among other things, the capabilities of the Newtek Advantage. We are raising our full year 2025 EPS forecast range to $2.10 to $2.50 per basic and diluted common share, from our previous full year 2025 EPS forecast range of $2.00 to $2.25 per basic and diluted common share, which we believe represents attractive, measurable growth over our full year 2024 EPS of $1.97 per basic and $1.96 per diluted common share for the twelve months ended December 31, 2024. In addition, our objective is to maintain the current dividend payout. Our current dividend yield has been tracking between 5% and 6%, which we believe represents an attractive opportunity for a company that is growing its earnings and has a unique and, in many metrics, industry-leading performance model.”
