PATHWARD FINANCIAL, INC. ANNOUNCES RESULTS FOR 2023 FISCAL SECOND QUARTER
- Net Income of $54.8 million, or $1.99 Per Diluted Share -
- Reaffirms Fiscal Year 2023 EPS Guidance -
Sioux Falls, S.D., April 26, 2023 - Pathward Financial, Inc. (“Pathward Financial” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: CASH) reported net income of $54.8 million, or $1.99 per share, for the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to net income of $49.3 million, or $1.66 per share, for the three months ended March 31, 2022.
During the quarter, when adjusting for the adverse financial impacts related to legacy mobile solar transactions and a venture capital investment impairment expense, the Company recognized adjusted net income of $60.3 million, or $2.18 per share. For the same period of the prior year, the Company recognized adjusted net income of $52.0 million, or $1.75 per share when excluding the impact of rebranding and separation expenses. See non-GAAP reconciliation table below.
CEO Brett Pharr said, “Pathward generated solid results during the second quarter driven by the continued expansion of our net interest margin and higher non-interest income. We continue to benefit from servicing fee income on our off-balance deposits and see increases in the average yield on our interest-earnings assets as they reprice. We are very pleased that this year's tax season has performed above our initial expectations through the end of March. Based on these results, we are reaffirming our fiscal year 2023 GAAP earnings per diluted share guidance of $5.55 to $5.95, despite the $7.3 million adverse pre-tax impacts during the quarter.”
Company Highlights
•On April 5, 2023, Pathward®, N.A. announced it became Certified™ by Great Place to Work® for the first time. Great Place to Work holds itself out as the global authority on workplace culture, employee experience, and the leadership behaviors proven to deliver market-leading revenue, employee retention and increased innovation.
•On February 28, 2023, the Board of Directors (the "Board") of Pathward Financial appointed Christopher Perretta as a member of the Board.
Financial Highlights for the 2023 Fiscal Second Quarter
•Total revenue for the second quarter was $228.4 million, an increase of $34.9 million, or 18%, compared to the same quarter in fiscal 2022, driven by an increase in both noninterest income and net interest income.
•Net interest margin ("NIM") increased 132 basis points to 6.12% for the second quarter from 4.80% during the same period of last year primarily driven by an increase in loan and lease and investment securities yields.
•Total gross loans and leases at March 31, 2023 decreased $4.6 million to $3.73 billion, compared to March 31, 2022 and increased $215.9 million, or 6%, when compared to December 31, 2022. The decrease compared to the prior year quarter was primarily due to a reduction in consumer finance loans driven by the sale of the $81.5 million student loan portfolio during the fiscal 2022 fourth quarter and a reduction in warehouse finance loans, partially offset by growth in the commercial finance portfolio. The primary drivers for the increase on a linked quarter basis was growth in commercial finance and warehouse finance loans.

•During the 2023 fiscal second quarter, the Company recognized a total of $6.8 million in pre-tax adverse financial impacts attributable to the disposal or change in depreciable life of several mobile solar generators related to a single relationship. In fiscal year 2019, the business incurred a large impairment expense associated with one company with which it had legacy transactions that turned out to be fraudulent. At that time, the assets were written down to their market value and redeployed under an equipment lease agreement to new participants. Upon the return of the leased assets, the Company performed a due diligence assessment, which led to the determination to dispose certain generators based on their condition and adjust the depreciable life for the remaining generators to better reflect the service period based on market conditions and advancements in technology. This was an isolated event limited to this equipment and is not indicative of the remaining Rental Equipment portfolio. The remaining value of the generators on the balance sheet is $1.3 million.
•During the 2023 fiscal second quarter, the Company repurchased 1,172,700 shares of common stock at an average share price of $46.60. As of April 21, 2023, there are 2,468,283 shares available for repurchase under the common stock share repurchase program announced during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2021.
•The Company reaffirms fiscal year 2023 GAAP earnings per share guidance and continues to expect it to be in the range of $5.55 to $5.95. See Outlook section and non-GAAP reconciliation table below.
Tax Season
For the six months ended March 31, 2023, total tax services product revenue was $72.4 million, an increase of 2% compared to the same period of the prior year. Total tax services product fee income, total tax services product expense, and net interest income on tax services loans all increased slightly compared to the prior year period.
Total tax services product income, net of losses and direct product expenses, decreased 14% to $29.7 million from $34.4 million, when comparing the first six months of fiscal 2023 to the same period of the prior fiscal year.
For the 2023 tax season, Pathward originated $1.46 billion in refund advance loans compared to $1.83 billion during the 2022 tax season. When excluding the two partners the Company did not renew after the 2022 tax season, loan originations increased $116.2 million this tax season compared to the previous year.
Net Interest Income
Net interest income for the second quarter of fiscal 2023 was $101.4 million, an increase of 21% from the same quarter in fiscal 2022. The increase was mainly attributable to increased yields and an improved earning asset mix.
The second quarter average outstanding balance of loans and leases decreased $230.5 million compared to the same quarter of the prior fiscal year, primarily due to a reduction in tax services loans, warehouse finance loans, and consumer finance loans, partially offset by an increase in commercial finance loans. The Company’s average interest-earning assets for the second fiscal quarter decreased by $364.5 million to $6.72 billion compared with the same quarter in fiscal 2022, primarily due to a reduction in cash balances as a result of elevated cash levels during the prior year period related to the Company's participation in government stimulus programs and a decrease in total investment balances. The decrease in cash and investment balances was partially offset by growth in commercial finance loans and leases.
Fiscal 2023 second quarter NIM increased to 6.12% from 4.80% in the second fiscal quarter of last year. The overall reported tax-equivalent yield (“TEY”) on average earning asset yields increased 145 basis points to 6.34% compared to the prior year quarter, primarily driven by an increase in loan and lease and investment securities yields, along with a decrease in cash balances. The yield on the loan and lease portfolio was 8.47% compared to 7.22% for the comparable period last year and the TEY on the securities portfolio was 2.89% compared to 1.83% over that same period.

The Company's cost of funds for all deposits and borrowings averaged 0.21% during the fiscal 2023 second quarter, as compared to 0.08% during the prior year quarter. The Company's overall cost of deposits was 0.13% in the fiscal second quarter of 2023, as compared to 0.01% during the prior year quarter.
Noninterest Income
Fiscal 2023 second quarter noninterest income increased to $127.0 million, compared to $109.8 million for the same period of the prior year. The increase was primarily attributable to increases in card and deposit fees, rental income, tax product fee income, and other income. The period-over-period increase was partially offset by reductions in gain (loss) on sale of other and gain on sale of investments.
Included in gain (loss) on sale of other during the quarter, was a $2.0 million loss on the disposal of mobile solar generators in connection with the aforementioned legacy solar transactions.
The increase in card and deposit fee income was primarily from servicing fee income on off-balance sheet deposits, which totaled $18.2 million during the 2023 fiscal second quarter, as compared to $12.9 million for the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2022 and an insignificant amount for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2022.
Noninterest Expense
Noninterest expense increased 23% to $127.1 million for the fiscal 2023 second quarter, from $103.2 million for the same quarter last year. The increase was primarily attributable to increases in card processing expense, operating lease equipment depreciation, compensation expense, total tax services expense, and impairment expense. The period over period increase was partially offset by decreases in legal and consulting expense, amortization expense, and other expense. The increase in operating lease equipment depreciation was due to $4.8 million of accelerated depreciation on mobile solar generators in connection with the aforementioned legacy mobile solar transactions. During the second quarter of fiscal year 2023, the Company recognized $0.5 million of impairment expense related to an investment in its Pathward Venture Capital business.
The card processing expense increase was due to structured agreements with banking as a service ("BaaS") partners. The amount of expense paid under those agreements is based on an agreed upon rate index that varies depending on the deposit levels, floor rates, market conditions, and other performance conditions. Generally this rate index averages between 50% to 85% of the Effective Federal Funds Rate ("EFFR") and reprices immediately upon a change in the EFFR. Approximately 47% of the deposit portfolio was subject to these higher card processing expenses. For the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2023, card processing expenses related to these structured agreements were $20.4 million, as compared to $14.0 million for the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2022 and $0.2 million for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2022.
Income Tax Expense
The Company recorded an income tax expense of $9.2 million, representing an effective tax rate of 14.2%, for the fiscal 2023 second quarter, compared to income tax expense of $8.0 million, representing an effective tax rate of 13.8%, for the second quarter last fiscal year. The current quarter increase in income tax expense was primarily due to increased earnings.
The Company originated $18.1 million in solar leases during the fiscal 2023 second quarter, resulting in $4.9 million in total net investment tax credits. During the second quarter of fiscal 2022, the Company originated $1.3 million in solar leases resulting in $0.3 million in total net investment tax credits. Investment tax credits related to solar leases are recognized ratably based on income throughout each fiscal year. For the six months ended March 31, 2023, the Company originated $29.5 million in solar leases, compared to $22.5 million for the comparable prior year period. The timing and impact of future solar tax credits are expected to vary from period to period, and the Company intends to undertake only those tax credit opportunities that meet the Company's underwriting and return criteria.

Outlook
The following forward-looking statements reflect the Company’s expectations as of the date of this release and are subject to substantial uncertainty. The Company's results may be materially affected by many factors, such as changes in economic conditions and customer demand, changes in interest rates, adverse developments in the financial services industry generally, inflation, uncertainty regarding the COVID-19 pandemic, and other factors detailed below under “Forward-looking Statements.” Because the Company’s reported GAAP results include certain income and expense items that are not expected to continue indefinitely and may include additional elements that the Company cannot currently predict, the Company is also providing guidance on a non-GAAP or “adjusted” basis.
The Company reaffirms fiscal year 2023 GAAP earnings per share guidance and continues to expect it to be in the range of $5.55 to $5.95. When adjusting for gain on sale of trademarks and rebrand related expenses, the Company expects fiscal year 2023 adjusted earnings per share to be in the range of $5.40 to $5.80. See non-GAAP reconciliation table below.

Total gross loans and leases totaled $3.73 billion at March 31, 2023, as compared to $3.51 billion at December 31, 2022 and $3.73 billion at March 31, 2022. The primary driver for the increase on a linked quarter basis was due to increases in commercial finance, warehouse finance, and the seasonal tax services portfolio, partially offset by a decrease in the consumer finance portfolio. The year-over-year decrease was primarily due a reduction in consumer finance loans driven by the sale of the student loan portfolio during the fiscal 2022 fourth quarter, a reduction in warehouse finance loans, and a reduction in seasonal tax services loans, partially offset by growth in our commercial finance portfolio.
Commercial finance loans, which comprised 84% of the Company's gross loan and lease portfolio, totaled $3.13 billion at March 31, 2023, reflecting an increase of $125.8 million, or 4%, from December 31, 2022 and an increase of $217.8 million, or 7%, from March 31, 2022.
Asset Quality
The Company’s allowance for credit losses ("ACL") totaled $84.3 million at March 31, 2023, an increase compared to $52.6 million at December 31, 2022 and a decrease from $88.6 million at March 31, 2022. The increase in the ACL at March 31, 2023, when compared to December 31, 2022, was primarily due to a $32.5 million increase in the allowance related to the seasonal tax services portfolio, partially offset by a $0.9 million decrease in the allowance related to the commercial finance portfolio.
The $4.2 million year-over-year decrease in the ACL was primarily driven by a $6.0 million decrease in the allowance related to the consumer finance portfolio and a $0.5 million decrease in the allowance related to the commercial finance portfolio, partially offset by a $2.3 million increase in the allowance related to the seasonal tax services portfolio. The year-over-year decrease in the allowance related to the consumer finance portfolio was primarily attributable to the sale of the student loan portfolio during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022.
The following table presents the Company's ACL as a percentage of its total loans and leases.

Total loans and leases excluding tax services 1.40  % 1.50  % 1.30  % 1.44  % 1.59  %

The Company's ACL as a percentage of total loans and leases increased to 2.27% at March 31, 2023 from 1.50% at December 31, 2022. The increase in the total loans and leases coverage ratio was primarily driven by the seasonal tax services portfolio, and to a lesser extent the consumer finance portfolio. The increase in the consumer finance was related to seasonal activity. The Company expects to continue to diligently monitor the ACL and adjust as necessary in future periods to maintain an appropriate and supportable level.

The Company recognized a provision for credit losses of $36.8 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2023, compared to $32.3 million of provision for credit losses expense for the comparable period in the prior fiscal year. The increase in provision for credit losses during the current quarter compared to the prior year period was primarily driven by increases in the commercial finance portfolio and the seasonal tax services portfolio. Net charge-offs were $5.0 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2023, compared to $11.2 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2022. Net charge-offs attributable to the commercial finance and consumer finance portfolios for the current quarter were $5.9 million and $0.2 million, respectively, while a recovery of $1.1 million was recognized in the tax services portfolio.

The Company's nonperforming assets at March 31, 2023 were $30.1 million, representing 0.44% of total assets, compared to $45.0 million, or 0.68% of total assets at December 31, 2022 and $38.3 million, or 0.56% of total assets at March 31, 2022.
The Company's nonperforming loans and leases at March 31, 2023, were $28.5 million, representing 0.76% of total gross loans and leases, compared to $40.9 million, or 1.16% of total gross loans and leases at December 31, 2022 and $35.8 million, or 0.95% of total gross loans and leases at March 31, 2022.
The decrease in the nonperforming assets as a percentage of total assets at March 31, 2023 compared to December 31, 2022, was driven by a decrease in nonperforming loans in the commercial finance portfolio, primarily due to one sizable relationship becoming current and a partial charge-off and pay down of another lending relationship during the period. The decrease was partially offset by an increase in nonperforming loans in the consumer finance portfolio. When comparing the current period to the same period of the prior year, the decrease in nonperforming assets was due to a decrease in nonperforming loans in the commercial finance and consumer finance portfolios.
The Company has various portfolios of consumer lending and tax services loans that present unique risks that are statistically managed. Due to the unique risks associated with these portfolios, the Company monitors other credit quality indicators in their evaluation of the appropriateness of the allowance for credit losses on these portfolios, and as such, these loans are not included in the asset classification table below. The Company's loans and leases held for investment by asset classification were as follows for the periods presented.

Deposits, Borrowings and Other Liabilities
Total average deposits for the fiscal 2023 second quarter decreased by $292.8 million to $6.39 billion compared to the same period in fiscal 2022. The decrease in average deposits was primarily due to decreases in noninterest bearing deposits and savings deposits, partially offset by an increase in money market deposits and wholesale deposits. Prior period deposit balances were elevated due to the Company's participation in government stimulus programs.
The average balance of total deposits and interest-bearing liabilities was $6.47 billion for the three-month period ended March 31, 2023, compared to $6.87 billion for the same period in the prior fiscal year, representing a decrease of 6%.
Total end-of-period deposits increased 1% to $5.90 billion at March 31, 2023, compared to $5.83 billion at March 31, 2022. The increase in end-of-period deposits was primarily driven by increases in noninterest-bearing deposits of $72.3 million and money market deposits of $25.0 million, partially offset by decreases in savings deposits of $18.4 million, wholesale deposits of $3.5 million, and savings deposits of $2.6 million.
As of March 31, 2023, the Company had $1.0 billion in deposits related to government stimulus programs. Of the total amount of government stimulus program deposits, $359.2 million are on activated cards while $645.1 million are on inactivated cards. These card balances are expected to decrease by approximately $500 million over the next 18 months as recipients continue to spend them and the Company begins to return unclaimed balances to the U.S. Treasury.
As of March 31, 2023, the Company managed $1.96 billion of customer deposits at other banks in its capacity as custodian. These deposits provide the Company with excess deposits that can earn record keeping service fee income, typically reflective of the EFFR.
Approximately 47% of the deposit balances at March 31, 2023 are subject to variable card processing expenses that are derived from the terms of contractual agreements with certain BaaS partners. These agreements are tied to a portion of a rate index, typically the EFFR.
Regulatory Capital
The Company and its subsidiary Pathward®, N.A. (the "Bank") remained above the federal regulatory minimum capital requirements at March 31, 2023, and continued to be classified as well-capitalized, and in good standing with the regulatory agencies. Regulatory capital ratios of the Company and the Bank are stated in the table below. The decrease in Tier 1 leverage capital ratio for the period is the result of higher quarterly average assets related to its seasonal tax business. The Bank Tier 1 leverage capital ratio using end of period assets of 8.32% better reflects the expected capital position post tax season. See non-GAAP reconciliation table below. Regulatory Capital is not affected by the unrealized loss on accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”). The securities portfolio is primarily comprised of amortizing securities that should provide consistent cash flow. The Company does not intend to sell these securities, or recognize the unrealized losses on its income statement, to fund future loan growth.
The tables below include certain non-GAAP financial measures that are used by investors, analysts and bank regulatory agencies to assess the capital position of financial services companies. Management reviews these measures along with other measures of capital as part of its financial analysis.

(2) Net interest margin expressed on a fully-taxable-equivalent basis ("net interest margin, tax-equivalent") is a non-GAAP financial measure. The tax-equivalent adjustment to net interest income recognizes the estimated income tax savings when comparing taxable and tax-exempt assets and adjusting for federal and state exemption of interest income. The Company believes that it is a standard practice in the banking industry to present net interest margin expressed on a fully taxable equivalent basis and, accordingly, believes the presentation of this non-GAAP financial measure may be useful for peer comparison purposes.

Pathward Financial, Inc. (Nasdaq: CASH) | Quarterly Investor Presentation20 2023 Tax Season Update Refund advances (“RAs”) and refund transfers (“RTs”) leverage Banking as a Service (“BaaS”) infrastructure and are core to Pathward’s purpose, allowing consumers quicker access to their money. • Total tax product revenue is up slightly through the six months ended March 31, 2023. • RA originations of $1.46 billion compared to $1.83 billion in the 2022 tax season. – Customer appetite for refund advances returned in 2023 after having been tempered in the 2022 tax season by remaining government stimulus funds. – Approximate average loan size of $1,382 compared to $1,263 in 2022. • Provision for tax services products increased from the prior year’s tax season primarily due to a shift in mix in Refund Advances from partnership channels to independent tax providers. Tax season at Pathward ramps up during the first fiscal quarter, peaks during the second fiscal quarter, and wraps up during the third fiscal quarter. As a result, performance for the six months ended March 31 is a better reflection on the overall performance for tax season as it alleviates timing differences between quarters.

Deposits held on Balance Sheet Pathward’s BaaS business generates fee income and low-cost deposits leading to high levels of noninterest- bearing deposits (96% of total deposits). The BaaS business’ ability to attract and maintain these low-cost deposits provides a powerful competitive advantage. Noninterest-bearing deposits as a percentage of total deposits has increased every year since 2018, from 54% in 4Q18 to 96% as of 2Q23. $1.96 billion of off-balance sheet customer deposits currently held in custody at program banks. These off- balance sheet deposits earn recordkeeping service fee income, typically reflective of the Effective Fed Funds Rate. 2Q23 deposits elevated due to seasonal tax activity.

Pathward is benefitting from the deposit optimization strategy that included transitioning away from higher cost interest-bearing wholesale deposits in favor of growing BaaS deposits. As of March 31, 2023, approximately 47% of the deposit balances were subject to variable card processing expenses, derived from contractual agreements with certain BaaS partners tied to a rate index, typically the Effective Fed Funds Rate. These costs reprice immediately upon a change in the applicable rate index, leading to an instant cost increase as compared to the earning-asset yields that will generally experience more of a lag in repricing. As of March 31, 2023, Pathward also managed $1.96 billion in off-balance sheet deposits that earned $18.2 million of fee income during the fiscal second quarter. That income is also reflective of the Effective Fed Funds Rate. Pathward Financial, Inc.
