Discussion of results:

  • 4Q20 net income totaled $9.6 million, an increase from $3.5 million in 3Q20, and reflects improved portfolio income and gain on the sale of newly originated loans

‒ Gain on loan sales in 4Q20 totaled $4.7 million (105% of UPB). There were no loan sales in 3Q20

  • Net interest margin increased 30 bps from 3Q20, driven by growth in realization of delinquent/default interest on nonperforming loans and prepayment fees, along with lower portfolio related debt costs

Discussion of results:

  • Velocity’s total loan portfolio was $1.9 billion as of December 31, 2020, a 2% quarter-over-quarter decrease from September 30, 2020

‒ Driven by loan sales of $96.3 million in UPB and higher prepayment activity

  • The weighted average total portfolio yield was 8.40% in 4Q20, an increase of 19 bps from 3Q20, primarily driven by the increased realization of nonperforming/default interest and prepayment fees
  • The 10 bps decrease in portfolio related debt cost was attributable to the relatively faster paydown of 2020-2-MC1 securitization, which is the Company’s only outstanding securitization collateralized primarily by short-term loans

(2) $788 thousand of 3Q 2020 is related to an unusual and nonrecurring event.

 

Discussion of results:

  • Nonperforming loans as a percent of total HFI loans as of December 31, 2020, increased to 17.23% from 15.84% as of September 30, 2020, mainly driven by modified COVID forbearance loans that became delinquent
  • Charge-offs in 4Q20 totaled $308.4 thousand, in-line with our historical average

‒ The prior quarter’s charge-offs included $787.3 thousand resulting from an unusual circumstance on a single loan

  • The reserve for loan losses as of December 31, 2020, was $5.8 million, a 2% increase from September 30, 2020, reflecting continued low actual credit losses despite higher levels of nonperforming loans

‒ Low LTVs and considerable expertise in loan resolutions through Velocity’s in-house special servicing team helps minimize losses

Full Year 2020 Results

  • Net income totaled $17.8 million, a 3% year-over-year increase from $17.3 million in the prior year
  • Loss per common share of $(1.55), resulting from a non-cash deemed dividend on preferred stock issued in 2Q20

‒ The preferred stock deemed dividend reduced common stockholders’ equity and correspondingly increased preferred stock under mezzanine equity, resulting in a non-cash loss per common share for the 12-months ended December 31, 2020

  • Pretax income of $23.1 million, a 9% decrease from $25.4 million in the prior year primarily driven by a $10.5 million increase in operating expenses resulting primarily from higher compensation and employee benefits related to the suspension of loan production activities. The increase in expenses was partially offset by an $8.4 million increase in net interest income.
  • Total net interest income was $67.4 million, a 14% increase from $59.0 million in the prior year, driven by a 15% increase in average loans outstanding that was partially offset by a 24 bps decrease in net interest margin.
  • Total loan production of $435.0 million in UPB, down from $1.0 billion in UPB in the prior year

‒ Loan production activities in 2020 were adversely impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, resulting in the suspension of loan production operations from March 2020 to September 2020

‒ Loan production since the resumption of operations is comprised of long-term Investor 1-4 Rental and Traditional Commercial loans

  • Charge-offs for the year totaled $1.6 million, a 176% increase from $579.1 thousand in 2019

‒ Charge-offs in 2020 included a single loan charge-off of $788.3 thousand, resulting from an unusual and nonrecurring event. Adjusted charge-offs for the year ended December 31, 2020, totaled $812.7 thousand.

  • Total operating expenses were $45.6 million, a 30% increase from $35.1 million in the prior year. The increase was primarily driven by higher compensation and employee benefits related to the suspension of loan production activities.
  • Pretax return on equity was 11%, and decreased from 17% in the prior year, and reflects the resilience of Velocity’s business model in the face of extreme and unprecedented impacts from the pandemic
