Dallas, TX, November 6, 2025 – SWK Holdings Corporation (Nasdaq: SWKH) (“SWK” or the “Company”), a life science-focused specialty finance company catering to small- and mid-sized commercial-stage companies, today provided a business update and announced its financial and operating results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2025.

SWK CEO Jody Staggs said "We reported strong third quarter results highlighted by $8.1 million of finance receivables segment adjusted non-GAAP net income and $8.8 million of GAAP net income. Our finance receivables portfolio totaled $245.4 million with a 16.9% effective yield, a multi-year high. During the quarter we also closed the sale of the majority of assets at MOD3 Pharma and repurchased approximately 88,000 shares for $1.3 million. Our non-GAAP tangible financing book value totaled $19.42, a 12.4% year-over-year increase after considering the $4.00 per share special dividend paid during the second quarter.”

Mr. Staggs concluded, “On October 9, 2025, SWK entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger with Runway Growth Finance Corp. The transaction is expected to close in late fourth quarter 2025 or first quarter 2026. Investors should consult SWK’s SEC filings, including the presentation on SWK’s website that details the transaction value, for additional information.”

For the third quarter 2025, SWK reported total revenue of $10.9 million, a 4.8% increase compared to $10.4 million for the third quarter 2024. The $0.5 million increase in revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2025 consisted of a $1.1 million increase in Finance Receivables segment revenue, driven mostly by the acceleration of exit fees earned on early payoff of the loan with Elutia, Inc. offset by a $0.6 million decrease in Pharmaceutical Development segment revenue.

Income before income tax expense for the quarter was $10.7 million and $4.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Third quarter 2025 income before income tax expense benefited from an increase in unrealized gains on warrants, primarily the Eton warrant, a gain on sale the MOD3 business, and a benefit from the change in provision for credit losses.

GAAP net income for the quarter ended September 30, 2025, increased to $8.8 million, or $0.72 per diluted share, from $3.5 million, or $0.28 per diluted share, for the third quarter 2024.

For the third quarter 2025, non-GAAP adjusted net income was $7.2 million, or $0.60 per share. Non-GAAP adjusted net income for the Finance Receivables segment was $8.1 million, an increase from $5.0 million for the third quarter 2024.

Total investment assets (defined as finance receivables, net of allowance for credit losses, marketable investments, and warrant assets) were $253.3 million as of September 30, 2025, a 2.1% decrease compared with total investment assets of $258.7 million as of September 30, 2024. The decline was primarily due to the monetization of the majority of the company’s royalty assets during the first and second quarters for total proceeds of approximately $51.3 million, partially offset by loan fundings, interest capitalization, and fee accretion of $48.7 million.

The allowance for credit losses at quarter’s end totaled $7.7 million, a decrease of $6.6 million from the third quarter of 2024.

During the third quarter SWK repurchased 87,927 shares for a total purchase price of $1.3 million. Year-to-date through October 28, 2025 SWK repurchased 199,218 shares for a total purchase price of $3.1 million.

GAAP book value per share was $21.02 as of September 30, 2025, a 9.1% decrease compared to $23.11 as of September 30, 2024 and a 8.5% increase after considering the $4.00 per share special dividend. Non-GAAP tangible financing book value per share totaled $19.42, a 7.0% decrease compared to $20.89 at September 30, 2024 and a 12.4% increase after considering the $4.00 per share special dividend. Management views non-GAAP tangible financing book value per share as a relevant metric to value the Company’s core finance receivable business. Non-GAAP tangible financing book value per share removes the value of the deferred tax assets.

During the third quarter, SWK funded an additional $5.0 million to performing borrower ImpediMed Limited (“ImpediMed”) upon achievement of a performance milestone.

The third quarter 2025 effective yield was 16.9%, a 230 basis points increase from 14.6% in the third quarter 2024. The effective yield is the rate at which income is expected to be recognized if payments are received pursuant to the terms of the finance receivables. The third quarter 2025 realized yield of the finance receivable portfolio was 17.3%, a 350 basis point increase from 13.8% in third quarter 2024. The realized yield is inclusive of all fees, including all realized unamortized fees, amendment fees, and prepayment fees, and is calculated based on the simple average of finance receivables at the beginning and end of the period. The realized yield may differ from the effective yield due to actual cash collections being greater or lesser than modeled.

As of September 30, 2025, the Company had three finance receivables in nonaccrual status: (1) the Flowonix Medical, Inc. (“Flowonix”) royalty, with a carrying value of $6.6 million; (2) the Best ABT, Inc. (“Best”) royalty, with a carrying value of $2.3 million; and (3) the Ideal Implant, Inc. (“Ideal”) royalty, with a carrying value of $2.5 million. SWK impaired the carrying value of the Ideal royalty by $0.3 million during the quarter. During the quarter SWK received a $0.5 million payment from the Flowonix estate, which was applied against the carrying value.

As of September 30, 2025, the Company had $2.5 million of unfunded commitments.

The following table provides a reconciliation of SWK’s reported (GAAP) consolidated net income to SWK’s adjusted consolidated net income (Non-GAAP):

In the table above, management has deducted the impact of the following items: (i) change in the fair-market value of equities and warrants, (ii) income taxes, as the Company has substantial net operating losses to offset against future income, (iii) amortization expense associated with MOD3 intangible assets, (iv) loss on disposal of inventory, (v) intangible asset impairment, and (vi) foreign currency (gains) losses.

 

The following table provides a reconciliation of SWK’s consolidated adjusted non-GAAP net income before provision for income tax expense, listed in the table above, to the finance receivables non-GAAP adjusted net income. The table eliminates MOD3 operating loss. The adjusted net income before income tax expense is derived in the table above and eliminates MOD3 operating income (loss), excluding MOD3 amortization expenses.

The following table provides a reconciliation of SWK's GAAP book value per share to its non-GAAP tangible finance book value per share. The table eliminates the deferred tax assets, intangible assets, MOD3 property and equipment and acquisition-related contingent consideration (in thousands, except per share data):

This release includes non-GAAP adjusted net income, non-GAAP finance receivable segment net income, and non-GAAP tangible financing book value per share, which are metrics that are not compliant with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP).

Non-GAAP adjusted net income is adjusted for certain items including (i) change in the fair-market value of equities and warrants, (ii) income taxes, as the Company has substantial net operating losses to offset against future income, (iii) amortization expense associated with MOD3 intangible assets, (iv) loss on disposal of inventory, (v) intangible asset impairment, and (vi) foreign currency (gains) losses.

In addition to the adjustments noted above, non-GAAP finance receivable segment net income also excludes MOD3 operating gains or losses.

Non-GAAP tangible financing book value per share excludes the deferred tax asset and intangible assets associated with the Company’s acquisition of MOD3 in 2019.

These non-GAAP measures may not be directly comparable to similar measures used by other companies in the Company's industry, as other companies may define such measures differently. Management believes that these measures are useful to investors and management in understanding our ongoing operations and in analysis of ongoing operating trends and provides useful additional information relating to our operations and financial condition. The Company encourages investors to carefully consider its results under GAAP, as well as its supplemental non-GAAP information and the reconciliation between these presentations, to better understand its business. Non-GAAP financial results are reported in addition to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. Further, non-GAAP financial measures, even if similarly titled, may not be calculated in the same manner by all companies, and therefore should not be compared.
