Westlake Village, CA – May 13, 2020 – Velocity Financial, Inc. (NYSE:VEL) (“Velocity” or the “Company”) reported net income of $2.6 million, a decrease from $5.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2019. Core net income for the first quarter of 2020 was $5.8 million, or $0.29 per share. “Core” earnings per share reflect adjustments for unique 1Q20 impacts, including one-time debt amortization cost in addition to COVID-19 impacts on the Company’s loan loss reserve. Book value of stockholders’ equity was $250.4 million at March 31, 2020, reflecting growth from new IPO capital and retained earnings as the Company did not engage in distressed loan sales or have significant impairments in its loans portfolio.

President and CEO, Chris Farrar commented, “Our first quarter results reflect one-time costs from our corporate debt paydown with IPO proceeds and an increase to our loan loss reserve due to COVID-19. While the last two months have presented near-term challenges for Velocity’s business, we remained profitable in the first quarter and have undertaken a number of steps to strengthen business continuity, improve the Company’s liquidity position and prioritize the safety and productivity of our employees. While it is still too early to accurately predict the ultimate impact of this health crisis on the economy and Velocity’s short term operations, we are positioning the business to thrive in the long term.”

Please see footnotes at the end of this release.

First Quarter 2020 Earnings

Velocity’s Response to COVID-19

As a result of the severe market volatility due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Velocity temporarily suspended loan origination activities until markets stabilize. Many of the Company’s loan production staff have been placed on 60-day temporary furlough, effective May 1, 2020. In addition, our special servicing team implemented a forbearance program to help small investors and business owners manage through these unprecedented times.

The Company also entered into an agreement with our original sponsors, Snow Phipps and TOBI to issue $45 million of convertible preferred stock and warrants and entered into amendments with the lenders on our existing warehouse repurchase agreements. The amended agreements provide the Company with a more flexible and stable financing solution for its recently originated whole loans.

These initiatives have stabilized the company’s liquidity and financing. For additional information, please refer to Velocity’s first quarter 2020 earnings presentation.

Non-GAAP FinancialMeasures

To supplement our financial statements presented in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), the Company uses operating income and operating margin, which are non-GAAP financial measures. The presentation of operating income and operating margin is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. When analyzing our operating performance, readers should use operating income and operating margin in addition to, and not as an alternative for, net income. Operating income represents net income before income taxes, interest expense on our corporate debt, and the amortization of deal costs related to corporate debt issuance. Additionally, operating margin is the ratio of operating income total revenues. Because not all companies use identical calculations, our presentation of net operating income and net operating margin may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. Furthermore, net operating income is not intended to be a measure of free cash flow for our management’s discretionary use, as it does not reflect certain cash requirements such as tax and portfolio-related debt service payments. The amounts shown for Operating income may also differ from the amounts calculated under similarly titled definitions in our debt instruments, which are further adjusted to reflect certain other cash and non-cash charges that are used to determine compliance with financial covenants.

First Quarter 2020 Earnings
---

We use operating income to evaluate the operating performance of our business, for comparison with forecasts and strategic plans and for benchmarking performance externally against competitors. We believe that this non-GAAP measure, when read in conjunction with the Company’s GAAP financials, provides useful information to investors by offering:

The ability to make more meaningful<br>period-to-period comparisons of the Company’s on-going operating results.
The ability to better identify trends in the Company’s underlying business and perform related trend<br>analyses; and
--- ---
A better understanding of how management plans and measures the Company’s underlying business.<br>
--- ---

We believe that operating income has limitations in that it does not reflect all of the amounts associated with the Company’s results of operations as determined in accordance with GAAP and that operating income should only be used to evaluate the Company’s results of operations in conjunction with net income. For more information on operating income, refer to the section of this press release below titled “Adjusted Financial Metric Reconciliation to GAAP.”
