  • Efficiency ratio was 52.5%, compared to 45.6% for the quarter ended December 31, 2022, and 36.7% for the first quarter of the prior year

“We continued to leverage our resilient, differentiated and diverse business model to effectively navigate the challenging macroeconomic backdrop,” said Kent Landvatter, Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President of FinWise. “We remain laser focused on balancing the trade-off between loan growth and credit quality while managing capital prudently. As we look ahead, we anticipate industry-wide slowdown in loan originations to persist as we move through 2023. We will also continue to source new business opportunities, and invest for future growth while striving to maintain a strong capital and liquidity position. While this approach is expected to have an impact on our results in the current year, we believe it will enable us to emerge even stronger when the economy improves. We also believe these efforts will result in the creation of shareholder value over time.”

(1) This measure is not a measure recognized under United States generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, and is therefore considered to be a non-GAAP financial measure. See “Reconciliation of Non-GAAP to GAAP Financial Measures” for a reconciliation of this measure to its most comparable GAAP measure. The efficiency ratio is defined as total noninterest expense divided by the sum of net interest income and noninterest income. We believe this measure is important as an indicator of productivity because it shows the amount of revenue generated for each dollar spent.
(2) This measure is not a measure recognized under GAAP and is therefore considered to be a non-GAAP financial measure. See “Reconciliation of Non-GAAP to GAAP Financial Measures” for a reconciliation of this measure to its most comparable GAAP measure. Tangible shareholders’ equity is defined as total shareholders’ equity less goodwill and other intangible assets. The most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is total shareholder’s equity. We had no goodwill or other intangible assets as of any of the dates indicated. We have not considered loan servicing rights or loan trailing fee asset as intangible assets for purposes of this calculation. As a result, tangible shareholders’ equity is the same as total shareholders’ equity as of each of the dates indicated.

Net Income
Net income was $3.9 million for the first quarter of 2023, compared to $6.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2022, and $9.4 million for the first quarter of 2022. The decrease from the prior quarter and prior year period was primarily due to lower gain on sale, lower strategic program fees, and increased interest expense on deposits, partially offset by a reduction in non-interest expense and lower provision for income taxes.

Net Interest Income
Net interest income was $12.1 million for the first quarter of 2023 compared to $12.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2022, and $13.0 million for the first quarter of 2022. The decrease from the prior quarter and prior year period was primarily due to an increase in the Bank’s deposit rates being paid to customers and lower average loans held for sale balances, partially offset by a shift in the Company’s mix of loans held for sale to those yielding higher rates, an increase in rates on our variable rate loans, and a continued rise in interest rates being paid on the Company’s cash balances at the Federal Reserve.

Loan originations totaled $0.9 billion for the first quarter of 2023, down from $1.2 billion for the prior quarter and $2.5 billion for the prior year period.

Net interest margin for the first quarter of 2023 was 12.51% compared to 14.27% for the prior quarter and 13.37% for the prior year period. The decrease from the prior quarter and prior year period was primarily due to a reduction in average balances in the Company’s loans held for sale portfolio along with a shift in the Company’s deposit portfolio mix from lower costing deposits to higher costing deposits, partially offset by an increase in average balances in the Company’s loans held for investment portfolio.

Provision for Credit Losses

The Company’s provision for credit losses was $2.7 million for the first quarter of 2023, compared to $3.2 million for the prior quarter and $2.9 million for the prior year period. The decrease from the prior quarter and prior year period was primarily due to a decrease in strategic program loans held for investment and lower net charge-offs.

Non-interest Income

 For the Three Months Ended
($ in thousands)3/31/2023 12/31/2022 3/31/2022
Noninterest income:     
Strategic Program fees$3,685  $4,487 $6,623 
Gain on sale of loans 187   4,163  5,052 
SBA loan servicing fees 591   547  387 
Change in fair value on investment in BFG (85)  430  (398)
Other miscellaneous income 149   148  18 
Total noninterest income$4,527  $9,775 $11,682 


Non-interest income was $4.5 million for the first quarter of 2023, compared to $9.8 million for the prior quarter and $11.7 million for the prior year period. The decrease from the prior quarter and prior year period was partly due to a reduction in gain on sale of loans primarily attributable to the Company’s decision to focus on interest income from the guaranteed portion of SBA loans the Company originates rather than on gain on sale income and lower strategic program fees resulting from a decline in loan origination volumes as well as a decrease in fair value of the Company’s investment in Business Funding Group, LLC (“BFG”). The prior quarter gain on sale of loans also included a one time adjustment of $2.3 million for the establishment of a Loan Trailing Fee asset.

Non-interest Expense

 For the Three Months Ended
($ in thousands)3/31/2023 12/31/2022 3/31/2022
Non-interest expense     
Salaries and employee benefits$5,257  $5,805 $6,953 
Professional services 1,474   1,609  633 
Occupancy and equipment expenses 712   843  352 
(Recovery) impairment of SBA servicing asset (253)  779  (59)
Other operating expenses 1,550   1,184  1,169 
Total noninterest expense$8,740  $10,220 $9,048 


Non-interest expense was $8.7 million for the first quarter of 2023, compared to $10.2 million for the prior quarter and $9.0 million for the prior year period. The decrease from the prior quarter was primarily due to a recovery on the Company’s SBA servicing asset in the first quarter of 2023 which did not occur in the prior quarter as well as a decrease in salaries and employee benefits related to lower accruals for performance bonuses. The decrease from the prior year period was primarily due to the cessation in June 2022 of commission accruals related to the Company’s strategic lending program and reduced accruals for performance bonuses, partially offset by an increase in professional services primarily from consulting fees.

The Company’s efficiency ratio was 52.5% for the first quarter of 2023, compared to 45.6% for the prior quarter and 36.7% for the prior year period.

Tax Rate

The Company’s effective tax rate was 26.1% for the first quarter of 2023, compared to 27.3% for the prior quarter and 25.4% for the prior year period.

Balance Sheet

The Company’s total assets were $442.3 million as of March 31, 2023, an increase from $400.8 million as of December 31, 2022 and $424.5 million as of March 31, 2022. The increase from December 31, 2022 was primarily due to an increase in certificates of deposits utilized to fund the Company’s loan portfolio and cash. The increase in total assets compared to March 31, 2022 was primarily due to an increase in deposits utilized to fund the Company’s held for investment loan portfolio, partially offset by a decrease in deposits and cash utilized to fund the Company’s held for sale loan portfolio.

The following table shows the loan portfolio as of the dates indicated:

 3/31/2023 12/31/2022 3/31/2022

Note: SBA loans as of March 31, 2023, December 31, 2022 and March 31, 2022 include $0.6 million, $0.6 million and $1.0 million in PPP loans, respectively. SBA loans as of March 31, 2023, December 31, 2022 and March 31, 2022 include $75.9 million, $49.5 million and $53.2 million, respectively, of SBA 7(a) loan balances that are guaranteed by the SBA. The held for investment balance on Strategic Programs with annual interest rates below 36% as of March 31, 2023, December 31, 2022 and March 31, 2022 was $6.9 million, $8.5 million and $13.8 million, respectively.

Total loans receivable as of March 31, 2023 was $297.7 million, an increase from $260.2 million and $272.6 million as of December 31, 2022 and March 31, 2022, respectively. The increase compared to December 31, 2022 and March 31, 2022 was primarily due to increases in SBA 7(a) loan balances, commercial loan balances and commercial real estate loan balances, partially offset by decreases in Strategic Program loan balances.

The following table shows the Company’s deposit composition as of the dates indicated:

 As of
3/31/2023 12/31/2022 3/31/2022
($s in thousands)Amount Percent Amount Percent Amount Percent

Total deposits as of March 31, 2023 increased to $283.2 million from $243.0 million and $277.5 million as of December 31, 2022 and March 31, 2022, respectively. The increase is primarily due to increases in brokered CDs which were primarily utilized for short term funding needs of the Company. The increase in interest-bearing demand deposits as of March 31, 2023 compared to March 31, 2022 is primarily due to HSA deposits from Lively, Inc., a technology focused Health Savings Account provider. The decrease in noninterest-bearing demand deposits and money markets as of March 31, 2023 compared to March 31, 2022 is primarily due to decreases in deposit reserve account balances related to the Company’s strategic programs.

Total shareholders’ equity as of March 31, 2023 increased $3.9 million to $144.4 million from $140.5 million at December 31, 2022. Compared to March 31, 2022, total shareholders’ equity as of March 31, 2023 increased $19.4 million from $125.0 million. The increase from December 31, 2022 and March 31, 2022 was primarily due to the Company’s net income, partially offset by the repurchase of common stock under the Company’s share repurchase program.

Asset Quality

The Company adopted FASB's Topic 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses ("CECL") effective January 1, 2023. The impact of adoption as required by the standard was a one-time reduction to retained earnings of $0.2 million, net of the deferred tax impact. The Allowance for Credit Losses (“ACL”), formerly referred to as the Allowance for Loan Losses, increased on the effective date by $0.3 million and the reserve for unfunded commitments, included in other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets, increased by a de minimis amount, as a result of the adoption of CECL. Subsequent to adoption, the Company records adjustments to its ACL and reserve for unfunded commitments through the provision for credit losses in the consolidated statements of income. For the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company recorded a provision for credit losses of $2.7 million.

Nonperforming loans were $0.7 million or 0.2% of total loans receivable, as of March 31, 2023, compared to $0.4 million or 0.1% of total loans receivable, as of December 31, 2022 and $0.7 million, or 0.2% of total loans receivable, as of March 31, 2022. As noted above, the provision for credit losses was $2.7 million for the first quarter of 2023, compared to the provision for loan losses of $3.2 million for the prior quarter and $2.9 million for the prior year period. The Company’s allowance for credit losses to total loans was 4.0% as of March 31, 2023 compared to the Company’s allowance for loan losses to total loans of 4.6% as of December 31, 2022 and 3.7% as of March 31, 2022.

For the first quarter of 2023, the Company’s net charge-offs were $2.9 million, compared to $3.2 million for the prior quarter and $2.8 million for the prior year period. The decrease in net charge-offs compared to the prior quarter was primarily due to lower net charge-offs related to retained strategic programs. The change in net charge-offs compared to the first quarter of 2022 was primarily due to higher net charge-offs related to SBA loans.

The following table presents a summary of changes in the allowance for loan losses and asset quality ratios for the periods indicated:

(1) This measure is not a measure recognized under United States generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, and is therefore considered to be a non-GAAP financial measure. See “Reconciliation of Non-GAAP to GAAP Financial Measures” for a reconciliation of this measure to its most comparable GAAP measure. Tangible shareholders’ equity is defined as total shareholders’ equity less goodwill and other intangible assets. The most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is total shareholder’s equity. We had no goodwill or other intangible assets as of any of the dates indicated. We have not considered loan servicing rights or loan trailing fee asset as intangible assets for purposes of this calculation. As a result, tangible shareholders’ equity is the same as total shareholders’ equity as of each of the dates indicated.
