DALLAS, May 11, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- SWK Holdings Corporation (Nasdaq: SWKH) ("SWK" or the "Company"), a life science focused specialty finance company catering to small- and mid-sized commercial-stage companies, today provided a business update and announced its financial and operating results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2022.

"SWK's core specialty finance business performed well during the quarter highlighted by a 22.5% realized yield as solid loan performance was buttressed by the successful B&D Dental loan resolution, Acerus loan repayment, and upside in the royalty portfolio," stated Winston Black, Chairman and CEO of SWK. "SWK originated two loans during the quarter and our pipeline exceeds historical levels. We are carefully pursuing opportunities with an eye towards selectively funding high quality assets positioned to weather a capital market drought.  We are also in regular contact with our existing borrowers discussing business trends and capital markets conditions."

Mr. Black concluded, "The team at our Enteris BioPharma subsidiary is pursuing multiple business development opportunities for its Peptelligence^® and ProPerma^® oral drug formulation technologies. Enteris is currently advancing four feasibility programs targeting therapeutic indications with others anticipated near-term. Additionally, Enteris' internal development pipeline continues to advance, and we are pleased to report that research involving oral formulations of leuprolide developed utilizing Peptelligence are scheduled to be featured in two poster presentations at the 104^th annual meeting of The Endocrine Society (ENDO 2022) in June."

First Quarter 2022 Financial Results

For the first quarter 2022, SWK reported total revenue of $11.1 million, a 18% increase compared to $9.4 million for the first quarter 2021. Finance Receivables segment revenue increased $1.7 million year-over-year to $10.4 million, with the increase consisting of a $2.6 million increase in fees and interest due to the early payoff of two term loans during the quarter, as well as a $1.9 million increase in revenue from new and existing loans. The increase in revenue was partially offset by a $2.0 million decrease in interest and fees earned on finance receivables that were paid off in 2021 and a $1.0 million net decrease in royalty revenue when compared to the same period of the previous year.

Income before taxes for the quarter was $4.6 million compared to $4.3 million for the same period the previous year, an increase of 7%. The year-over-year increase is due to a $1.7 million increase in income from our Finance Receivables segment and a $0.4 million decrease in expenses. The decrease in expenses included a $1.0 million decrease in depreciation and amortization expense related to the Enteris fixed and intangible assets. The decrease was offset by a $0.3 million increase in general and administrative expense, a $0.4 million increase in our research and development expenses related to internal pipeline programs, and a $1.9 million decrease in the change in fair value of our warrant assets and marketable investments.

For the first quarter 2022, non-GAAP adjusted net income was $6.0 million, an increase from $4.7 million for the first quarter 2021. Non-GAAP adjusted net income for the Finance Receivables segment was $8.4 million, an increase from $6.8 million for the first quarter 2021. First quarter 2022 non-GAAP adjusted net income includes $0.2 million in non-recurring expenses from the Company's strategic review process. 

GAAP net income for the quarter ended March 31, 2022, increased 2.6% to $3.5 million, or $0.27 per diluted share, from $3.4 million, or $0.26 per diluted share for the first quarter 2021.

Income-producing assets (defined as finance receivables and corporate debt securities) totaled $188.4 million as of March 31, 2022. This is a 10.4% decrease compared with income-producing assets of $210.2 million as of March 31, 2021. Total investment assets, which include income-producing assets plus equity-linked securities, totaled $195.8 million as of March 31, 2022, compared to the March 31, 2021, total investment assets of $219.1 million.

Tangible financing book value per share totaled $18.39 as of March 31, 2022, a 12.7% increase from $16.31 as of March 31, 2021. Management views tangible financing book value per share as a relevant metric to value the Company's core finance receivable business. Book value per share was $21.10 as of March 31, 2022, compared to $17.00 as of March 31, 2021.

Tables detailing SWK's financial performance for the first quarter 2022 are below.

Portfolio Status

At the end of the first quarter 2022, the weighted average projected effective yield of 13.9% for the finance receivables portfolio, including non-accrual positions, increased slightly from 13.8% for the same period of the previous year. The projected effective yield is the rate at which income is expected to be recognized pursuant to the Company's revenue recognition policies, if all payments are received pursuant to the terms of the finance receivables and excludes non-interest earning assets such as warrants and equity investments.

For the first quarter 2022, the realized yield of the finance receivables portfolio was 22.5%, versus 16.7% for the same period the previous year. The realized yield is inclusive of all fees, including all realized unamortized fees, amendment fees, and prepayment fees, and is calculated based on the simple average of finance receivables at the beginning and end of the period. The realized yield is greater than the effective yield due to actual cash collections being greater than modeled.

Non-accrual loans totaled $9.8 million, while non-accrual royalty purchases, net of credit loss allowances, totaled $3.2 million.  The $9.8 million loan to Flowonix Medical Inc. remains on non-accrual, and SWK continues to work with Flowonix to achieve a resolution. 

During the quarter SWK deployed $18.5 million in two structured debt transactions to AOTI and Acer Therapeutics, while SWK borrowers B&D Dental and Acerus Pharmaceuticals fully repaid their credit obligations. SWK funded $4.2 million to existing borrowers with an additional $1.3 million funded after quarter close. As of May 9, 2022, SWK had $1.4 million of unfunded commitments.   

Total portfolio investment activity for the three months ended March 31, 2022, and 2021 was as follows (in thousands):

Adjusted Non-GAAP Net Income

The following table provides a reconciliation of SWK's reported (GAAP) consolidated net income to SWK's adjusted consolidated net income (Non-GAAP) for the three-month period ended March 31, 2022 and 2021. The table eliminates provisions for income taxes, non-cash mark-to-market changes on warrant assets and equity securities, amortization of Enteris intangible assets, legal and board expenses incurred in connection with the Company's strategic review, and any non-cash impact on the remeasurement of contingent consideration.

		Three Months Ended March 31,
		2022		2021
Net income		$                         3,478		$                         3,389
Add: income tax expense		1,087		939
Add: Enteris amortization expense		497		1,601
Add (subtract): unrealized net loss (gain) on derivatives		693		(283)
Add (subtract): unrealized net loss (gain) on equity securities		28		(932)
Add: strategic review expenses		227		—
Adjusted income before income tax expense		$                         6,010		$                         4,714
Adjusted income tax expense		—		—
Non-GAAP net income		$                         6,010		$                         4,714

In the table above, management has deducted the following non-cash items: (i) change in the fair-market value of equities and warrants, as mark-to-market changes are non-cash, (ii) income taxes, as the Company has substantial net operating losses to offset against future income, (iii) amortization expense associated with Enteris intangible assets, and (iv) (gain) loss on remeasurement of contingent consideration. Management has also deducted legal and board expenses associated with the Company's strategic review process because management believes these expenses are not reflective of operational execution.

Finance Receivables Adjusted Non-GAAP Net Income

The following table provides a reconciliation of SWK's consolidated adjusted income before income tax expense, listed in the table above, to the non-GAAP adjusted net income for the Finance Receivable segment for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2022 and 2021. The table eliminates Enteris operating (income) and loss. The adjusted income before income taxes is derived in the table above and eliminates income tax expense, non-cash mark-to-market changes on warrant assets and equity securities.

		Three Months Ended March 31,
		2022		2021
Non-GAAP net income		$                         6,010		$                         4,714
Subtract: Enteris operating loss, excluding amortization expense		2,427		2,040

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This release includes non-GAAP adjusted net income and non-GAAP finance receivable segment net income, which are metrics that are not compliant with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP).

Non-GAAP adjusted net income is adjusted for certain items (including (i) changes in the fair-market value of public equity-related assets and SWK's warrant assets as mark-to-market changes are non-cash, (ii) income taxes as the Company has substantial net operating losses to offset against future income, (iii) changes in the fair-market value of contingent consideration associated with the Enteris acquisition as these changes are non-cash, and (iv) depreciation and amortization expenses, primarily associated with the Enteris acquisition). Management has also deducted legal and board expenses associated with the Company's strategic review process because management believes these expenses are not reflective of operational execution.

In addition to the adjustments noted above, non-GAAP finance receivable segment net income also excludes Enteris operating losses.

Tangible financing book value per share excludes the deferred tax asset, intangible assets, goodwill, Enteris PP&E, and contingent consideration associated with the Enteris transaction. Adjusted return on tangible financing book value is calculated by dividing finance receivables segment adjusted non-GAAP net income by Tangible financing book value.

These non-GAAP measures may not be directly comparable to similar measures used by other companies in our industry, as other companies may define such measures differently. Management believes that these measures are useful to investors and management in understanding our ongoing operations and in analysis of ongoing operating trends and provides useful additional information relating to our operations and financial condition. These metrics should be considered in addition to, and not as a replacement for, the most comparable GAAP measure.
