WESTLAKE VILLAGE, Calif., August 03, 2023--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Velocity Financial, Inc. (NYSE: VEL) (Velocity or the Company), a leader in business purpose loans, reported net income of $12.2 million and core net income of $12.9 million for 2Q23, compared to net income of $10.6 million and core net income of $10.6 million in 2Q22. Earnings and core earnings per diluted share were $0.36 and $0.38, respectively, for 2Q23, compared to $0.31 and $0.31, for 2Q22.
"Velocity once again delivered strong quarterly earnings driven by 20% year-over-year portfolio growth," said Chris Farrar, President and CEO. "Our second quarter results included solid portfolio net interest income and strong growth in other operating income driven by fair value gains and fees from loan production activity. Production volumes rebounded in the second quarter as forecast, increasing 19% quarter-over-quarter, with a weighted average coupon of 11%. We have been successful in mitigating much of the impact of higher rates by increasing loan coupons and volume simultaneously this quarter, which is a testament to the strong demand for investor properties and the skill of our loan origination team."

(2) Liquidity includes unrestricted cash reserves of $34.0 million and available liquidity in unfinanced loans of $38.0 million.

Discussion of results:

Driven by continued strong portfolio growth, NPL resolution activity and higher other operating income, partially offset by securitization costs and higher operating expenses
Core net income(1) was $12.9 million, compared to $10.6 million for 2Q22
Core adjustments included equity incentive compensation expenses and costs related to the Company’s employee stock purchase plan (ESPP)
Portfolio NIM in 2Q23 was 3.24%, compared to 4.10% for 2Q22, resulting from increased funding costs, partially offset by rising portfolio yields from higher loan coupons on recent loan production

Velocity’s total loan portfolio was $3.7 billion in UPB as of June 30, 2023, an increase of 20.4% from $3.1 billion in UPB as of June 30, 2022
Primarily driven by 32.9% Y/Y growth in loans collateralized by Investor 1-4 Rental properties and secondarily 10.4% Y/Y growth in Mixed Use properties
Approximately 75% of the loans in Velocity’s HFI portfolio are collateralized by properties that have a housing component (Investor 1-4 Rental, Multifamily and Mixed Use)
Loan prepayments totaled $105.8 million, a 21.6% Q/Q increase, and a 26.1% Y/Y decrease
The UPB of Fair Value (FVO) loans was $688.1 million in UPB, or 18.5% of total HFI loans, as of June 30, 2023, an increase from $1.3 million in UPB, or 0.05% as of June 30, 2022
The company elected fair value accounting treatment for new HFI loan originations effective October 1, 2022
The weighted average portfolio loan-to-value ratio was 68.2% as of June 30, 2023, unchanged from 68.2% as of June 30, 2022, and consistent with the five-quarter trailing average of 68.3%
The weighted average total portfolio yield was 8.24% for 2Q23, an increase of 27 bps from 2Q22, driven by higher loan coupons on YTD 2023 loan production
Portfolio-related debt cost for 2Q23 was 5.58%, an increase of 124 bps from 2Q22, driven by higher interest rates on securitization and warehouse financing

Loan production in 2Q23 totaled $258.6 million in UPB, a 41.9% decrease from $445.4 million in UPB in 2Q22
Management’s decision to reduce production, along with higher interest rates, decreased volume from year-ago levels. On a Q/Q basis, production volume rose 19.2% from 1Q23.
The weighted average coupon (WAC) on 2Q23 HFI loan production was 11.0%, an increase of 325 bps from 2Q22

Discussion of results:
Nonperforming loans (NPL) totaled $371.2 million in UPB as of June 30, 2023, or 10.0% of loans HFI, compared to $252.3 million and 8.2%, respectively, as of June 30, 2022
NPL growth is driven by portfolio seasoning of prior year’s originations and an aggressive collection philosophy that places loans in foreclosure quickly for early delinquencies
Charge-offs in 2Q23 totaled $716.6 thousand, compared to $37.8 thousand in 2Q22
The trailing five-quarter charge-off average was $279.6 thousand
The loan loss reserve totaled $4.6 million as of June 30, 2023, a 5.7% decrease from $4.9 million as of June 30, 2022
Resulting from the run-off of the amortized cost HFI loan portfolio and a modestly improved macroeconomic outlook.
Loans carried at fair value are not subject to a CECL reserve

Discussion of results:
Operating expenses totaled $22.2 million for 2Q23, an increase of 49.8% from 2Q22. The variance to prior year results is primarily attributable to our fair value accounting election in 4Q22.
Compensation expense totaled $10.7 million, compared to $6.6 million for 2Q22. In 2Q23, compensation expense related to loan originations was expensed as incurred under fair value accounting rather than deferred over the life of the loan under amortized cost accounting for 2Q22.
Origination (income)/expenses totaled $0.1 million, a $1.4 million improvement from 2Q22, resulting from successful initiatives to increase operational efficiencies
Securitization expenses totaled $2.7 million. Securitization issuance costs are now expensed under fair value accounting and were deferred in 2Q22.
Loan servicing expense totaled $4.3 million, an increase of $1.0 million from 2Q22, driven primarily by the increase in securitization debt outstanding to $3.1 billion as of June 30, 2023, from $2.5 billion as of June 30, 2022

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.

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," "position," 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, including the risk of recession (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 future securitizations, and (6) the continued conflict in Ukraine and (7) 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-Q filed with the SEC on May 14, 2020, as well as other cautionary statements we make in our current and periodic filings with the SEC.
