“Third quarter results reflect outstanding execution by our loan origination team which delivered 33% quarter-over-quarter production growth, in addition to strong earnings and improved credit performance from our held for investment portfolio,” said Chris Farrar, President and CEO. “Demand for small balance business purposed loans accelerated in the third quarter with solid growth in rental demand driven by consumer preference for single family homes. Our strong originations trends continued in October as we originated $138.5 million of new loans, an all-time record for Velocity.”

Discussion of results:

  • Net income for 3Q21 totaled $8.02 million, a decrease from $9.45 million in 2Q21, mainly as a result of a $2.2MM gain from the sale of loans during 2Q21 and only a $0.3 million gain from loans sold in 3Q21, as we decided to retain all new production for securitization
  • GAAP Net income and Core income were the same in 3Q21
  • Portfolio NIM in 3Q21 was 4.97%, a 14 bps increase from 4.83% in 2Q21, driven by a quarter-over-quarter increase in portfolio-related interest income and a decrease in portfolio-related interest expense
  • The pretax return on equity was 18.23% in 3Q21, a decrease from 22.57% for 2Q21, mainly as a result our decision to reduce whole loan sales in 3Q21.
