DALLAS, Aug. 10, 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 second quarter ended June 30, 2022.

"Over the past several quarters, SWK has had several successful payoffs in the portfolio, which we believe provide a strong endorsement of the innovation we support through our investments. While this, combined with our disciplined underwriting philosophy, led to a material decline in the size of our aggregate portfolio and a corresponding decrease in revenues year over year, we believe our focused stewardship of our shareholders' capital has provided an important benefit going forward – well positioning our balance sheet for the current environment," stated Winston Black, Chairman and CEO of SWK. "During the second quarter, SWK evaluated numerous life science financing opportunities with a focus on high quality assets that, we believe, are positioned to weather the current market volatility and challenging capital market environment. We believe these efforts will lead to additional closed financings in the second half of 2022."

Mr. Black continued, "Our capital position is strong with $55.1 million in cash and an untapped $22.0 million credit facility as of June 30, 2022. Our current liquidity and anticipated debt capital raise efforts will give us greater capacity to execute on new investment opportunities where our creative, non-dilutive financing can accelerate the growth of small and mid-sized life sciences companies and fuel the development and commercialization of lifesaving and life-enhancing technologies. The stock repurchase program SWK re-instituted during the quarter also reflects the Board of Director's confidence in our strategy and financial position and illustrates our ongoing commitment to accretive capital deployment."

Mr. Black concluded, "At the close of the second quarter, SWK was added to the Russell 2000, 3000 and Microcap Indexes, a catalyst that should expand awareness of our company within the investment community, increase liquidity of our stock, and broaden our shareholder base. Further, we recently celebrated our 10^th anniversary under our current business strategy. Reflecting on the past 10 years, I am pleased to note that since the fourth quarter of 2012 we have produced consistent returns on our investments and to our shareholders with our book value per share increasing at a 10% compound annual growth rate. Looking ahead, our strategy will continue to focus on identifying companies, technologies and intellectual property to which our investment vehicles are well-suited and where strong risk-adjusted returns are likeliest to be achieved, while working with the team at Enteris BioPharma to unlock additional opportunities for growth."

Second Quarter 2022 Financial Results

During the last twelve month period, there were $78.7 million of loan repayments and royalty paydowns, which were partially offset by $45.0 million of new investments. As a result, income-producing assets (defined as finance receivables and corporate debt securities) totaled $175.0 million as of June 30, 2022. This is a 13.9% decrease compared with income-producing assets of $203.2 million as of June 30, 2021. Total investment assets, which include income-producing assets plus equity-linked securities, totaled $181.4 million as of June 30, 2022, compared to the June 30, 2021 total investment assets of $213.0 million.

For the second quarter 2022, SWK reported total revenue of $6.9 million, a 68.8% decrease compared to $22.3 million for the second quarter 2021. The $15.4 million decrease in revenue consisted of a $10.3 million decrease in Pharmaceutical Development segment revenue, which included $10.0 million of milestone revenue related to Enteris' License Agreement with Cara Therapeutics, Inc. received during the three months ended June 30, 2021, which did not recur during the three months ended June 30, 2022. Finance Receivables segment revenue decreased $5.0 million year-over-year to $6.8 million, with the decrease consisting of a $3.1 million decrease in interest and fees earned on finance receivables that were either paid off or paid down since the second quarter of 2021 and a $4.0 million decrease in net royalty income primarily due to the achievement of return premiums that caused a step down in royalty rates. The decrease in revenue was partially offset by a $2.1 million increase in interest and fees earned due to funding new and existing loans.

Income before taxes for the quarter was $0.7 million compared to $17.5 million for the same period the previous year, a decrease of 96%. The year-over-year decrease is due to a $10.3 million decrease in income from our Pharmaceutical Development segment and a $5.0 million decrease in income from our Finance Receivables segment. The decrease in income before income taxes was also due to a $1.0 million net loss on the change in fair value of our warrant assets and marketable investments. The decrease was partially offset by a $0.5 million decrease in expenses.

GAAP net income for the quarter ended June 30, 2022, decreased 96% to $0.6 million, or $0.04 per diluted share, from $14.0 million, or $1.09 per diluted share for the second quarter 2021.

For the second quarter 2022, non-GAAP adjusted net income was $2.2 million, a decrease from $17.2 million for the second quarter 2021. Non-GAAP adjusted net income for the Finance Receivables segment was $4.6 million, a decrease from $9.3 million for the second quarter 2021.

Book value per share was $21.15 as of June 30, 2022, compared to $20.18 as of June 30, 2021. Tangible financing book value per share totaled $18.48 as of June 30, 2022, a 7.2% increase from $17.23 as of June 30, 2021. Management views tangible financing book value per share as a relevant metric to value the Company's core finance receivable business. Tangible book value per share removes the value of the deferred tax asset from the book value.

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

Portfolio Status

At the end of the second quarter 2022, the weighted average projected effective yield of 14.2% for the finance receivables portfolio, including non-accrual positions, increased from 13.9% 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 second quarter 2022, the realized yield of the finance receivables portfolio was 15.0%, versus 22.9% 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 $3.1 million.  The $9.8 million loan to Flowonix Medical Inc. remains on non-accrual, and SWK continues to work with the company to achieve a resolution. 

Subsequent to quarter end, SWK deployed $5.0 million in a structured debt transaction to Exeevo, Inc., while SWK royalties Beleodaq® and Trio were fully satisfied by achieving their respective multiple of invested capital caps. As of August 9, 2022, SWK had $3.9 million of unfunded commitments.

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.

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.
