Velocity Financial, Inc. (NYSE: VEL) (Velocity or the Company) reported net income of $3.1 million and core net income of $12.4 million for 1Q22, compared to net income of $8.4 million and core net income of $10.1 million in 4Q21. Earnings and core earnings per diluted share were $0.09 and $0.36, respectively, in 1Q22, compared to $0.24 and $0.29, respectively, in 4Q21.

“The first quarter’s performance demonstrated strong momentum in our business with record production volumes and strong financial results across the organization,” said Chris Farrar, President and CEO. “This quarter’s strong financial performance was driven by our investment loan portfolio of nearly $3 billion in UPB, which has grown at a compounded annual growth rate of 20% over the last four years from loan production sourced through our nationwide origination platform.”

Mr. Farrar continued, “While macroeconomic and geopolitical uncertainties have increased, our resilient business model has performed impressively through a variety of market environments. Going forward, we believe that Velocity’s opportunities for growth are robust. Our record production volume this quarter underscores the existence of significant investor demand for investor real estate loans, in addition to growing interest from mortgage brokers to offer commercial investor loan products to their clients. We are well-positioned to execute on these market opportunities as a result of our strong capital position, which was further improved this quarter by the advantageous refinancing of our corporate debt and continued strong investor demand for our securitizations. This capital will help us achieve our growth objectives and continue delivering strong returns for shareholders in the future.”

(b) Net interest expense - corporate debt includes in 1Q22 includes $12.8 million of nonrecurring costs related to the refinance of Velocity's senior corporate debt.

Discussion of results:

  • Total net interest income, including corporate debt interest expense, decreased by $9.9 million, or 46.5% from 4Q21, driven by nonrecurring costs from the refinancing of our corporate debt

‒ Nonrecurring costs included debt issuance cost write-off of $7.7 million and prepayment fees of $5.1 million associated with the payoff of higher-cost floating-rate corporate debt with a principal balance totaling $170.8 million

‒ Excluding these costs, net interest income was $24.2 million

  • Portfolio-related net interest income (excluding corporate debt interest expense) totaled $28.5 million, an increase of 10.9% from 4Q21, resulting from portfolio growth and continued strong realization of default interest from NPL resolutions
  • Gain on the disposition of loans grew 92.6% quarter-over-quarter, resulting from the sale of loans in 1Q22 totaling $144.1 million in UPB
  • Other operating income growth from 4Q21 was primarily driven by a valuation gain in our servicing portfolio resulting from expected slower prepayment speeds in a rising interest-rate environment.

Discussion of results:

  • The weighted average rate on Velocity’s outstanding securitizations decreased 8bps from 4Q21, driven mainly by the collapse of higher-cost securitization in 4Q21 and issuance of $970 million of securitizations in 2021 at a weighted average rate of 2.42%

‒ Issued the VCC 2022-1 securitization in February 2022 with a balance of $273.6 million and a weighted average rate of 3.94% as of March 31, 2022. The higher rate reflects the rising interest-rate environment.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement our financial statements presented in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), the Company uses non-GAAP core net income and core diluted EPS, which are non-GAAP financial measures.

Non-GAAP core net income and non-GAAP core diluted EPS are non-GAAP financial measures that represent our net income (loss) and net income (loss) per diluted share, adjusted to eliminate the effect of certain costs incurred from activities that are not normal recurring operating expenses, such as COVID-stressed charges and recoveries of loan loss provision, nonrecurring debt amortization, the impact of operational measures taken to address the COVID-19 pandemic and workforce reduction costs, and costs associated with acquisitions. To calculate non-GAAP core diluted EPS, we use the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding that is used to calculate net income per diluted share under GAAP.

We have included non-GAAP core net income and non-GAAP core diluted EPS because they are key measures used by our management to evaluate our operating performance, generate future operating plans, and make strategic decisions, including those relating to operating expenses and the allocation of internal resources. Accordingly, we believe that non-GAAP core net income and non-GAAP core diluted EPS provide useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our operating results in the same manner as our management and board of directors. In addition, they provide useful measures for period-to-period comparisons of our business, as they remove the effect of certain items that we expect to be nonrecurring.

These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures are not based on any standardized methodology prescribed by GAAP and are not necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies.

For more information on Core Income, please refer to the section of this press release below titled “Adjusted Financial Metric Reconciliation to GAAP Net Income” at the end of this press release.

Forward-Looking Statements

Some of the statements contained in this press release may constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws. Forward-looking statements relate to anticipated results, expectations, projections, plans and strategies, anticipated events or trends, and similar expressions concerning matters that are not historical facts. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by the use of forward-looking terminology such as “may,” “will,” “expects,” “intends,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “predicts,” “goal,” or “potential” or the negative of these words and phrases or similar words or phrases that are predictions of or indicate future events or trends and which do not relate solely to historical matters. You can also identify forward-looking statements by discussions of strategy, plans, or intentions.

The forward-looking statements contained in this press release reflect our current views about future events and are subject to numerous known and unknown risks, uncertainties, assumptions, and changes in circumstances that may cause actual results to differ significantly from those expressed or contemplated in any forward-looking statement. While forward-looking statements reflect our good faith projections, assumptions, and expectations, they are not guarantees of future results. Furthermore, we disclaim any obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement to reflect changes in underlying assumptions or factors, new information, data or methods, future events, or other changes, except as required by applicable law. Factors that could cause our results to differ materially include, but are not limited to, (1) the continued course and severity of the COVID-19 pandemic and its direct and indirect impacts, (2) general economic and real estate market conditions, (3) regulatory and/or legislative changes, (4) our customers' continued interest in loans and doing business with us, (5) market conditions and investor interest in our contemplated securitization and (6) changes in federal government fiscal and monetary policies.

Additional information relating to these and other factors that could cause future results to differ materially from those expressed or contemplated in any forward-looking statements can be found in the section titled ‘‘Risk Factors” in our Form 10-K filed with the SEC on May 10, 2021, as well as other cautionary statements we make in our current and periodic filings with the SEC. Such filings are available publicly on our Investor Relations web page at www.velfinance.com.

Net interest spread — portfolio related is the difference between the rate earned on our loan portfolio and the interest rates paid on our portfolio-related debt.

Net interest spread — total company is the difference between the rate earned on our loan portfolio and the interest rates paid on our total debt.

Excluding the one-time debt issuance cost write-off of $7.7 million and prepayment penalties of $5.1 million associated with the $170.8 million payoff of our corporate debt in March 2022, the corporate debt average rate would have been 9.70%; net interest spread — total company would have been 3.36%; and net interest margin — total company would have been 3.60% for the three months ended March 31, 2022.

(5)

 

The debt issuance cost amortization was higher for the three months ended March 31, 2021, as a result of a lower average outstanding borrowing balance from a new financing facility.

(6)

 

Excluding the one-time debt issuance cost write-off of $2.9 million and prepayment penalties of $1.6 million associated with the $78.0 million payoff of our corporate debt in February 2021, the corporate debt average rate would have been 10.49%; net interest spread — total company would have been 3.06%; and net interest margin — total company would have been 3.52% for the three months ended March 31, 2021.
