WESTLAKE VILLAGE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Velocity Financial, Inc. (NYSE: VEL) (Velocity or the Company) reported net income and core net income of $10.6 million for 2Q22, compared to net income of $9.5 million and core net income of $8.5 million for 2Q21. Earnings and core earnings per diluted share were $0.31 for 2Q22, compared to $0.28 and $0.25 per share, respectively, for 2Q21.

“Velocity’s second quarter results reflect our unique portfolio model, solid market position and operational expertise,” said Chris Farrar, President and CEO. “Our investment loan portfolio has grown more than 49% over the past twelve months, driven by robust origination volumes that contributed to solid earnings growth.”

Mr. Farrar continued, “During the second quarter we issued three new securitizations totaling $622.7 million, demonstrating Velocity’s differentiation in today’s market resulting from our extensive securitization track record and reputation for high-quality loan collateral. These securitizations allowed us to further optimize non-recourse leverage and enhance our liquidity position. While financing costs have increased along with market volatility, we have been able to successfully increase rates on new production while maintaining solid volume levels.”

Discussion of results:

• Net income in 2Q22 was $10.6 million, compared to $9.5 million in 2Q21.

‒ 2Q22 net income was driven by an increase in interest income from our loan portfolio, in addition to default interest and fees realized from the resolution of nonperforming loans

• Core net income⁽¹⁾ was $10.6 million, an increase of 25.9% from $8.5 million in 2Q21
• Portfolio NIM in 2Q22 was 4.10%, compared to 4.83% from 2Q21, resulting from a decrease in the weighted average portfolio yield from lower interest rates on loan production in recent prior quarters, partially offset by a decrease in the weighted average cost of funds from lower securitization and warehouse financing rates
• The GAAP pretax return on equity was 16.42% in 2Q22, compared to 22.57% in 2Q21

‒ Driven by higher equity balance in 2Q22

• Gain on the disposition of loans totaled $1.8 million in 2Q22, compared to $2.4 million in 2Q21
• Other operating income growth in 2Q22 was driven by valuation gains in our mortgage servicing right (MSR) asset, driven by the rise in interest rates during the quarter

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.
