WESTLAKE VILLAGE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 6, 2021--Velocity Financial, Inc. (NYSE: VEL) (“Velocity” or the “Company”) reported net income of $3.40 million and core income of $6.72 million for 1Q21, compared to $2.58 million and $5.80 million, respectively, in 1Q20. Earnings and core earnings per diluted share were $0.10 and $0.20, respectively, in 1Q21, compared to $0.13 and $0.29, respectively, in 1Q20. Book value per common share was $11.12 as of March 31, 2021, compared to $12.47 as of March 31, 2020.

“As we mark the one-year anniversary of the COVID-19 pandemic, I am increasingly optimistic about the durability of the emerging economic recovery we are seeing as businesses reopen and growth opportunities for Velocity increase,” said Chris Farrar, President and CEO. “First quarter production volumes grew 30 percent quarter-over-quarter, and we continue to build momentum with the introduction of new products and re-launching existing products suspended during the pandemic. These initiatives provide our broker network with an expanded menu of options to satisfy their client’s financing needs, which drives higher production volume and accelerated growth of our loan portfolio. Velocity’s business model and integrated operational platform have shown continued resiliency and the ability to emerge from market dislocations stronger and more profitable than before. I am confident that this will be the case for Velocity going forward.”
