WESTLAKE VILLAGE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--August 4, 2022--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

- Portfolio-related debt cost in 2Q22 was 4.34%, a decrease of 47 bps from 2Q21, driven by the collapse of older, higher-cost securitizations and lower rates on the securitizations issued in the second half of 2021

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.
Forward-Looking Statements
Some of the statements contained in this press release may constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws. Forward-looking statements relate to anticipated results, expectations, projections, plans and strategies, anticipated events or trends, and similar expressions concerning matters that are not historical facts. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by the use of forward-looking terminology such as “may,” “will,” “expects,” “intends,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “predicts,” “goal,” or “potential” or the negative of these words and phrases or similar words or phrases that are predictions of or indicate future events or trends and which do not relate solely to historical matters. You can also identify forward-looking statements by discussions of strategy, plans, or intentions.
The forward-looking statements contained in this press release reflect our current views about future events and are subject to numerous known and unknown risks, uncertainties, assumptions, and changes in circumstances that may cause actual results to differ significantly from those expressed or contemplated in any forward-looking statement. While forward-looking statements reflect our good faith projections, assumptions, and expectations, they are not guarantees of future results. Furthermore, we disclaim any obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement to reflect changes in underlying assumptions or factors, new information, data or methods, future events, or other changes, except as required by applicable law. Factors that could cause our results to differ materially include, but are not limited to, (1) the continued course and severity of the COVID-19 pandemic and its direct and indirect impacts, (2) general economic and real estate market conditions, (3) regulatory and/or legislative changes, (4) our customers' continued interest in loans and doing business with us, (5) market conditions and investor interest in our contemplated securitization and (6) changes in federal government fiscal and monetary policies.
Additional information relating to these and other factors that could cause future results to differ materially from those expressed or contemplated in any forward-looking statements can be found in the section titled ‘‘Risk Factors” in our Form 10-K filed with the SEC on May 10, 2021, as well as other cautionary statements we make in our current and periodic filings with the SEC. Such filings are available publicly on our Investor Relations web page at www.velfinance.com.
