Discussion of results:

 

The weighted average total portfolio yield was 7.59 percent in the second quarter, a decrease of 98 basis points from the first quarter of 2020, primarily driven by an increase nonaccrual loans

 

The 105 basis point decrease in portfolio related debt cost was primarily attributable to the lower corporate debt expense resulting from the paydown of corporate debt upon completion of our IPO

 

Velocity’s total loan portfolio (comprised of loans held for sale and loans held for investment) was $2.059 billion as of June 30, 2020, a 3 percent quarter-over-quarter decrease from the first quarter of 2020

 

The weighted average loan-to-value ratio of the total portfolio was 66 percent as of June 30, 2020, essentially unchanged from the prior quarter

Second Quarter 2020 Earnings

 

Discussion of results:

 

In late March, Velocity temporarily suspended loan origination activities, which resulted in origination volume lower than originally forecast in the first quarter of 2020 and no loan production in the second quarter of 2020.

 

The completion of the VCC 2020-2 and the VCC 2020-MC1 securitizations in June and July, respectively, marks the culmination of our strategy to find permanent financing solutions for our assets previously financed with warehouse facilities. With this objective achieved, the Company can now devote its full attention to restarting loan production operations in early September 2020.

2Q20 Earnings Presentation August 12, 2020 Exhibit 99.2

Slide 2

Forward-looking statements Some of the statements contained in this presentation may constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws. Forward-looking statements relate to 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," "should," "expects," "intends," "plans," "anticipates," "believes," "estimates," "predicts," or "potential" or the negative of these words and phrases. You can also identify forward-looking statements by discussions of strategy, plans, or intentions. The forward-looking statements contained in this presentation 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 course and severity of the COVID-19 pandemic, and its direct and indirect impacts (2) general economic conditions and real estate market conditions, (3) regulatory and/or legislative changes, (4) our ability to retain and attract loan originators and other professionals, and (5) changes in federal government fiscal and monetary policies.
