PATHWARD FINANCIAL, INC. ANNOUNCES RESULTS FOR 2023 FISCAL THIRD QUARTER

Sioux Falls, S.D., July 26, 2023 - Pathward Financial, Inc. (“Pathward Financial” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: CASH) reported net income of $45.1 million, or $1.68 per share, for the three months ended June 30, 2023, compared to net income of $22.4 million, or $0.76 per share, for the three months ended June 30, 2022. For the same period of the prior year, the Company recognized adjusted net income of $27.3 million, or $0.93 per share when excluding the impact of rebranding and separation expenses. See non-GAAP reconciliation table below.
CEO Brett Pharr said, “This quarter, Pathward once again produced solid results, consistent with our performance thus far in fiscal year 2023. Our results were driven by growth in net interest income and noninterest income compared to the same quarter in fiscal year 2022, with our net interest margin increasing to 6.18%. Our differentiated business model continues to deliver due to our stable deposit base and healthy commercial finance portfolio. Based on this performance, we are increasing our fiscal year 2023 GAAP earnings per diluted share guidance to $5.60 to $6.00 and introducing fiscal year 2024 GAAP earnings per diluted share guidance of $6.10 to $6.60.”

Company Highlights
•The Company launched a new line of credit for consumers with Propel Holdings Inc. and paired with Clair to offer spending and savings accounts as well as earned wage advances. Additionally, the Company announced a new partnership where it has become the banking partner to Finix to support their launch as a payments processor.
•On July 24, 2023, the Company published its third annual ESG report, which can be found on its website. The report documents the Company's progress over fiscal year 2022 showing the implementation plans, programs and policies that built on its culture as well as the Company's purpose to power Financial Inclusion for All.
Financial Highlights for the 2023 Fiscal Third Quarter
•Total revenue for the third quarter was $165.2 million, an increase of $39.1 million, or 31%, compared to the same quarter in fiscal 2022, driven by an increase in both net interest income and noninterest income.
•Net interest margin ("NIM") increased 142 basis points to 6.18% for the third quarter from 4.76% during the same period of last year primarily driven by increased yields and an improved earnings asset mix from the continued optimization of the portfolio.
•Total gross loans and leases at June 30, 2023 increased $384.3 million to $4.07 billion, compared to June 30, 2022 and increased $347.3 million, or 9%, when compared to March 31, 2023. The increase compared to the prior year quarter was primarily due to growth in the commercial finance portfolio, partially offset by 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. The primary drivers for the increase on a linked quarter basis was growth in both commercial finance and consumer finance loans.
•During the 2023 fiscal third quarter, the Company repurchased 490,120 shares of common stock at an average share price of $43.83. An additional 248,550 shares of common stock at an average price of $50.23 were repurchased in July 2023 through July 21, 2023. As of July 21, 2023, there are 1,729,613 shares available for repurchase under the common stock share repurchase program announced during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2021.

•The Company is raising fiscal year 2023 GAAP earnings per diluted share guidance to a range of $5.60 to $6.00. The Company is also introducing fiscal year 2024 GAAP earnings per diluted share guidance in the range of $6.10 to $6.60. See Outlook section below.
Tax Season Recap
For the nine months ended June 30, 2023, total tax services product revenue was $79.7 million, a decrease of 3% compared to the same period of the prior year. This was driven by a decrease in refund advance fee income partially offset by an increase in refund transfer fee income. Provision expense for refund advances increased 17% compared to the prior year. This increase was due to a mix shift from partnership channels to independent tax providers, which was expected.
Total tax services product income, net of losses and direct product expenses, decreased 19% to $35.3 million from $43.5 million, when comparing the first nine months of fiscal 2023 to the same period of the prior fiscal year. The overall decrease in tax services product income was primarily due to higher provision expense and the two tax partners that the Company did not renew heading into the 2023 tax season, as previously disclosed.
Net Interest Income
Net interest income for the third quarter of fiscal 2023 was $97.5 million, an increase of 35% from the same quarter in fiscal 2022. The increase was mainly attributable to increased yields, higher interest-earning asset balances and an improved earning asset mix.
The Company’s average interest-earning assets for the third fiscal quarter increased by $244.4 million to $6.33 billion compared with the same quarter in fiscal 2022, primarily due to growth in loans and leases and an increase in total investment balances, partially offset by a decrease in cash balances. The third quarter average outstanding balance of loans and leases increased $171.6 million compared to the same quarter of the prior fiscal year, primarily due to an increase in commercial finance loans, partially offset by decreases in consumer finance loans, warehouse finance loans, and tax services loans.
Fiscal 2023 third quarter NIM increased to 6.18% from 4.76% in the third fiscal quarter of last year. When including contractual card processing expense, NIM would have been 4.88% in the fiscal 2023 third quarter compared to 4.62% during the fiscal 2022 third quarter. The overall reported tax-equivalent yield (“TEY”) on average earning asset yields increased 142 basis points to 6.31% compared to the prior year quarter, driven by an increase in loan and lease, investment securities and cash yields. The yield on the loan and lease portfolio was 8.31% compared to 6.69% for the comparable period last year and the TEY on the securities portfolio was 2.96% compared to 2.14% over that same period.
The Company's cost of funds for all deposits and borrowings averaged 0.13% during the fiscal 2023 third quarter, as compared to 0.12% during the prior year quarter. The Company's overall cost of deposits was 0.01% in the fiscal third quarter of 2023, as compared to 0.01% during the prior year quarter. When including contractual card processing expense, the Company's overall cost of deposits was 1.41% in the fiscal 2023 third quarter, as compared to 0.16% during the prior year quarter.
Noninterest Income
Fiscal 2023 third quarter noninterest income increased to $67.7 million, compared to $54.0 million for the same period of the prior year. The increase was primarily attributable to increases in card and deposit fees, rental income and other income. The period-over-period increase was partially offset by a reduction in tax services fee income.
The increase in card and deposit fee income was primarily from servicing fee income on off-balance sheet deposits, which totaled $14.6 million during the 2023 fiscal third quarter, as compared to $18.2 million for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2023 and $0.5 million for the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2022.



2


Noninterest Expense
Noninterest expense increased 19% to $114.6 million for the fiscal 2023 third quarter, from $96.7 million for the same quarter last year. The increase was primarily attributable to increases in card processing expense, compensation expense, other expense, impairment expense, and operating lease equipment depreciation. The period-over-period increase was partially offset by a decrease in legal and consulting expense and tax services expense. During the third quarter of fiscal year 2023, the Company recognized $2.7 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 48% of the deposit portfolio was subject to these higher card processing expenses during the 2023 fiscal third quarter. For the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2023, card processing expenses related to these structured agreements were $20.5 million, as compared to $20.4 million for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2023 and $2.2 million for the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2022.
Income Tax Expense
The Company recorded an income tax expense of $3.2 million, representing an effective tax rate of 6.6%, for the fiscal 2023 third quarter, compared to income tax expense of $7.0 million, representing an effective tax rate of 22.6%, for the third quarter last fiscal year. The current quarter decrease in income tax expense was primarily due to an increase in investment tax credits recognized ratably when compared to the prior year quarter.
The Company originated $21.4 million in renewable energy leases during the fiscal 2023 third quarter, resulting in $5.8 million in total net investment tax credits. During the third quarter of fiscal 2022, the Company originated $4.4 million in renewable energy leases resulting in $1.0 million in total net investment tax credits. Investment tax credits related to renewable energy leases are recognized ratably based on income throughout each fiscal year. For the nine months ended June 30, 2023, the Company originated $50.9 million in renewable energy leases, compared to $26.9 million for the comparable prior year period. The timing and impact of future renewable energy 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, competition, 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 for fiscal year 2023. The Company is not currently aware of any such income or expense items expected to impact fiscal year 2024.
The Company is raising its fiscal year 2023 GAAP earnings per diluted share guidance and expects it to be in the range of $5.60 to $6.00. The Company expects its effective tax rate to range between 10% and 14% for fiscal year 2023. 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 $5.45 to $5.85. See non-GAAP reconciliation table below.
The Company is also introducing fiscal year 2024 GAAP earnings per diluted share guidance in the range of $6.10 to $6.60. As part of this guidance, the Company expects that its annual effective tax rate in fiscal year 2024 will range between 16% and 20%.

The Company's investment security balances at June 30, 2023 totaled $1.95 billion, as compared to $1.86 billion at March 31, 2023 and $2.00 billion at June 30, 2022.
Total gross loans and leases totaled $4.07 billion at June 30, 2023, as compared to $3.73 billion at March 31, 2023 and $3.69 billion at June 30, 2022. The primary driver for the increase on a linked quarter basis was due to increases in commercial finance, consumer finance, and warehouse finance, partially offset by a decrease in seasonal tax services loans. The year-over-year increase was primarily due to an increase in commercial finance loans and tax services loans, partially offset by a reduction in consumer finance loans driven by the sale of the student loan portfolio during the fiscal 2022 fourth quarter and a reduction in warehouse finance loans.
Commercial finance loans, which comprised 85% of the Company's loan and lease portfolio, totaled $3.44 billion at June 30, 2023, reflecting an increase of $308.1 million, or 10%, from March 31, 2023 and an increase of $492.8 million, or 17%, from June 30, 2022. The increase in commercial finance loans on linked quarter basis was primarily driven by a $228.6 million increase in the insurance premium finance portfolio. The increase in commercial finance loans when comparing the current period to the same period of the prior year was primarily driven by increases in the SBA/USDA, insurance premium finance, and term lending portfolios, partially offset by reductions in the factoring, asset-based lending, and lease financing portfolios.

Asset Quality
The Company’s allowance for credit losses ("ACL") totaled $81.9 million at June 30, 2023, a decrease compared to $84.3 million at March 31, 2023 and an increase compared to $75.2 million at June 30, 2022. The decrease in the ACL at June 30, 2023, when compared to March 31, 2023, was primarily due to a $1.3 million decrease in the allowance related to the commercial finance portfolio and a $1.1 million decrease in the allowance related to the consumer finance portfolio.
The $6.7 million year-over-year increase in the ACL was primarily driven by a $10.5 million increase in the allowance related to the seasonal tax services portfolio and a $0.7 million increase in the allowance related to the commercial finance portfolio, partially offset by a decrease of $4.5 million in the allowance related to the consumer finance portfolio. The year-over-year increase in the allowance related to the seasonal tax services portfolio was primarily attributable to prior year charge-off activity related to a partner the Company did not renew after the 2022 tax season. 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.

The Company's ACL as a percentage of total loans and leases decreased to 2.01% at June 30, 2023 from 2.27% at March 31, 2023. The decrease in the total loans and leases coverage ratio was primarily driven by the commercial finance and consumer finance portfolios, partially offset by an increase in the seasonal tax services portfolio. The decrease in the consumer finance portfolio 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.

Activity in the allowance for credit losses for the periods presented was as follows.

The Company recognized a provision for credit losses of $1.8 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2023, compared to a reversal of provision for credit losses expense of $1.3 million 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. Net charge-offs were $4.2 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2023, compared to $12.2 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2022. Net charge-offs attributable to the commercial finance and consumer finance portfolios for the current quarter were $2.6 million and $1.9 million, respectively, while a recovery of $0.3 million was recognized in the tax services portfolio.

The increase in the nonperforming assets as a percentage of total assets at June 30, 2023 compared to March 31, 2023, was driven by an increase in nonperforming loans in the commercial finance portfolio, primarily due to one sizable relationship moving to nonaccrual during the current quarter. The increase was partially offset by a decrease in nonperforming loans in the consumer finance portfolio. When comparing the current period to the same period of the prior year, the increase in nonperforming assets was due to an increase in nonperforming loans in the commercial finance portfolio, partially offset by a decrease in nonperforming loans in the consumer finance portfolio.
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 third quarter increased by $154.2 million to $5.90 billion compared to the same period in fiscal 2022. The increase in average deposits was primarily due to increases in noninterest bearing deposits and money market deposits, partially offset by a decrease in savings deposits, wholesale deposits, and time deposits.
The average balance of total deposits and interest-bearing liabilities was $6.01 billion for the three-month period ended June 30, 2023, compared to $5.81 billion for the same period in the prior fiscal year, representing an increase of 3%.
Total end-of-period deposits increased 10% to $6.31 billion at June 30, 2023, compared to $5.71 billion at June 30, 2022. The increase in end-of-period deposits was primarily driven by increases in noninterest-bearing deposits of $562.3 million and money market deposits of $45.1 million, partially offset by decreases in savings deposits of $7.8 million, certificate of deposits of $2.7 million, and wholesale deposits of $0.9 million.
As of June 30, 2023, the Company had $966.6 billion in deposits related to government stimulus programs. Of the total amount of government stimulus program deposits, $349.4 million are on activated cards while $617.2 million are on inactivated cards. Between July 2023 and the end of fiscal year 2024, these card balances are expected to decrease by approximately $450 million as the Company actively returns unclaimed balances to the U.S. Treasury.

7


As of June 30, 2023, the Company managed $781 million 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 48% of the deposit balances at June 30, 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 June 30, 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. 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.

Basel III revised the definition of capital, increased minimum capital ratios, and introduced a minimum CET1 ratio; those changes were fully phased in through the end of calendar year 2021.

The following table provides a reconciliation of tangible common equity and tangible common equity excluding AOCI, each of which is used in calculating tangible book value data, to Total Stockholders' Equity. Each of tangible common equity and tangible common equity excluding AOCI is a non-GAAP financial measure that is commonly used within the banking industry.

(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 Presentation18 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 pre-tax net income for the nine months ended June 30, 2023, was down compared to the prior year, which was primarily due to the nonrenewal of two tax partnerships and higher provision expense. • Provision for tax services products increased from the prior year’s tax season primarily due to a shift in mix in RAs from partnership channels to independent tax providers, which was expected. • RA originations of $1.46 billion compared to $1.83 billion in the 2022 tax season. When excluding the two partners not renewed, loan originations increased $116.2 million compared to the previous year. 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 nine months ended June 30 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 stable deposits leading to high levels of noninterest- bearing deposits (96% of total deposits). The BaaS business’s ability to attract and maintain these 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 3Q23. $781 million of off-balance sheet deposits held in custody at program banks as of June 30, 2023.

Pathward is benefiting from the deposit optimization strategy that included transitioning away from higher cost interest- bearing wholesale deposits in favor of growing BaaS deposits. As of June 30, 2023, approximately 48% 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 a lag in repricing. As of June 30, 2023, Pathward also managed $781 million in off-balance sheet deposits that earned $14.6 million of fee income during the fiscal third quarter. That income is also reflective of the Effective Fed Funds Rate. Pathward Financial, Inc.
