Reconciliation of Net income (loss) to non-GAAP EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA

(Unaudited)

 

Safe Harbor Financial discloses EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, both of which are non-GAAP financial measures and are calculated as net income before taxes and depreciation and amortization expense in the case of EBITDA and further adjusted to exclude non-cash, unusual and/or infrequent costs in the case of Adjusted EBITDA. Management of the Company uses this information in evaluating period over period performance because it believes that EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA present important metrics regarding the Company’s ongoing operating performance. Investors should consider non-GAAP financial measures only as a supplement to, not as a substitute for or as superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP.

 

A reconciliation of net income to non-GAAP EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA is as follows:

 

  

Three Months Ended June 30,

  

Six Months Ended June 30,

 
   2024   2023   2024   2023 
Net (loss)/income  $941,527   $(17,604,567)  $2,991,203   $(19,018,014)
Interest expense   168,830    160,671    323,002    803,931 
Depreciation and amortization   194,790    401,350    390,499    797,664 
Taxes   487,627    (652,147)   48,742    (1,261,424)
EBITDA  $1,792,774   $(17,694,693)  $3,753,446   $(18,677,843)
                     
Other adjustments –                    
(Benefit)/ Provision for credit losses   (97,248)   511,880    (166,035)   578,546 
Change in the fair value of warrants   (1,086,286)   (9,789)   (2,341,773)   (442,937)
Change in the fair value of deferred consideration   (211,535)   193,065    (396,070)   384,008 
Stock based compensation   552,137    958,260    1,164,261    2,529,042 
Impairment of goodwill and finite-lived intangible assets   -    16,888,739    -    16,888,739 
Loan origination fees and costs   23,800    2,922    47,173    747 
Adjusted EBITDA  $973,642   $850,384   $2,061,002   $1,260,302 

 

For the period six months and three months ended June 30, 2024, our EBITDA income improved primarily as a result of decrease in General and Administrative expenses. This reduction was driven by lower investment hosting fees, decreased amortization and depreciation expenses, and reduced business insurance costs. Additionally, there were decreases in compensation, employee benefits, marketing expenses, and other insurance costs. These factors contributing to our financial performance are further discussed in the “Discussion of our Results of Operations” section below. Other adjustments include estimated future credit losses not yet realized, including amounts indemnified to PCCU for loans funded by them. The Company has entered into a Commercial Alliance Agreement with PCCU, pursuant to which the Company agreed to indemnify PCCU for claims associated with CRB activities including any loan default related losses for loans funded by PCCU. Deferred loan origination fees and costs represent the change in net deferred loan origination fees and costs. When included with a new loan origination, we receive an upfront loan origination fee in conjunction with new loans funded by our financial institution partners and incur costs associated with originating a specific loan. For accounting purposes, the cash received for loan origination fees and costs is initially deferred and recognized as interest income utilizing the interest method.
