DALLAS, Nov. 9, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- 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, 2023.
"SWK generated healthy financial returns, improved our balance sheet through the issuance of approximately $33.0 million of senior unsecured notes and a $15.0 million upsizing of our credit facility, and our Enteris subsidiary made progress to achieving profitability. The finance segment generated $5.6 million of pre-tax net income and $5.8 million of adjusted non-GAAP net income. The portfolio generated a 14.0% effective yield, and gross finance receivables increased slightly sequentially to $234.9 million, as a new $5.0 million loan to a privately held CDMO was partially offset by principal repayments. After quarter end, we closed two additional term loans, deploying $26.0 million of shareholder capital," stated Jody Staggs, President and CEO of SWK.
Mr. Staggs continued: "In 2023 Enteris has booked $2.7 million of CDMO projects and has proposals outstanding on an additional $5.0 million of work. Enteris' third quarter revenue increased 72% to $0.3 million sequentially, and we anticipate strong revenue growth in the fourth quarter driven by referrals from our strategic partner. The increase in sequential revenue and reduced cost structure led to a sequential improvement in the third quarter operating loss. We continue to work with the Enteris team to achieve profitability and maximize subsidiary value."
"During the fourth quarter, we are focused on diligently deploying our balance sheet capital, which currently totals more than $60.0 million. We are also in regular contact with our borrowers to ensure they acknowledge the challenging economic and capital markets environment and are taking appropriate steps to ensure their business can operate through a more difficult period."
Third Quarter 2023 Financial Results
For the third quarter 2023, SWK reported total revenue of $9.0 million, a 34.2% decrease compared to $13.6 million for the third quarter 2022. The $4.6 million decrease in revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2023, consisted of a $4.7 million decrease in Pharmaceutical Development segment revenue and a $0.1 million increase in Finance Receivables segment revenue. The $4.7 million decrease in Pharmaceutical Development segment revenue was primarily due to $5.0 million of milestone revenue related to Enteris' License Agreement with Cara received during the three months ended September 30, 2022, and no similar milestone revenue was recognized during the three months ended September 30, 2023. The $0.1 million increase in Finance Receivables segment revenue was primarily the result of an increase in reference rates.
Pre-tax net income for the three months ended September 30, 2023, was $4.1 million, compared to $8.6 million for the same period of the previous year. The year-over-year decrease is primarily due to a $4.6 million decrease in consolidated revenue and a $2.0 million decrease in unrealized losses on our warrant assets, equity securities and foreign currency transactions, partially offset by a $2.4 million decrease in operating expenses in both segments.
GAAP net income for the quarter ended September 30, 2023, decreased 32.4% to $4.5 million, or $0.36 per diluted share, from $6.6 million, or $0.51 per diluted share, for the third quarter 2022.
For the third quarter 2023, non-GAAP adjusted net income was $4.8 million, a 42.6% decrease from $8.3 million for the third quarter 2022. Non-GAAP adjusted net income for the Finance Receivables segment was $5.8 million, a 3.2% decrease from $6.0 million for the third quarter 2022.
During the twelve months ended September 30, 2023, there were $29.4 million of loan repayments and royalty paydowns, which were partially offset by $41.1 million of new and existing investment funding. As a result, income-producing assets (defined as finance receivables and corporate debt securities) totaled $235.0 million as of September 30, 2023. This is a 10.3% increase compared with income-producing assets of $213.1 million as of September 30, 2022. Total investment assets, which include income-producing assets plus equity-linked securities, totaled $236.3 million as of September 30, 2023, compared to September 30, 2022, total investment assets of $222.2 million.
Book value per share was $22.19 as of September 30, 2023, compared to $21.62 as of September 30, 2022. Book value per share increased 6.2% compared to September 30, 2022, after adjusting for the effect of adopting the current expected credit losses methodology ("CECL"). Non-GAAP tangible financing book value per share totaled $19.35. Non-GAAP tangible financing book value per share increased 6.2% compared to $19.14 September 30, 2022, after adjusting for the effect of CECL adoption. 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 and Enteris net asset value.
Tables detailing SWK's financial performance for the third quarter of 2023 are below.
Portfolio Status
For the third quarter of 2023, the realized yield of the finance receivables portfolio was 14.7%, versus 17.5% for the same period in the previous year. 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, 2023, non-accrual finance receivables totaled $26.5 million. Of the total $26.5 million, $6.9 million consisted of royalty purchases, $10.4 million consisted of a non-accrual financing to Flowonix Medical, which has now been reclassified as a royalty, and $9.1 million consisted of a loan to Trio Healthcare, which was placed on non-accrual during the quarter. SWK is working with Trio to achieve a resolution.
As of September 30, 2023, SWK had $7.4 million of unfunded commitments.
Total portfolio investment activity for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 was as follows (in thousands):
Adjusted Non-GAAP Net Income
The following table provides a reconciliation of SWK's reported (GAAP) consolidated net income to SWK's adjusted consolidated net income (Non-GAAP) for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022. The table eliminates provisions for (benefits from) income taxes, non-cash mark-to-market changes on warrant assets, equity securities, foreign currency gains and losses, amortization of Enteris' intangible assets and any non-cash impact on the remeasurement of contingent consideration.
In the table above, management has deducted the following non-cash items: (i) change in the fair-market value of equities and warrants, as mark-to-market changes are non-cash, (ii) income taxes, as the Company has substantial net operating losses to offset against future income, (iii) amortization expense associated with Enteris' intangible assets, and (iv) (gain) loss on remeasurement of contingent consideration.
Finance Receivables Adjusted Non-GAAP Net Income
The following table provides a reconciliation of SWK's consolidated adjusted income before provision for income tax expense, listed in the table above, to the non-GAAP adjusted net income for the Finance Receivable segment for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022. The table eliminates Enteris' operating loss. The adjusted income before income tax expense is derived in the table above and eliminates income tax expense, non-cash mark-to-market changes on warrant assets and equity securities.
Non-GAAP Tangible Finance Book Value Per Share
The following table provides a reconciliation of SWK's GAAP book value per share to its non-GAAP tangible finance book value per share as of September 30, 2023 and 2022. The table eliminates the deferred tax assets, intangible assets, goodwill, Enteris' property and equipment and acquisition-related contingent consideration.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
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) changes in the fair-market value of public equity-related assets and SWK's warrant assets as mark-to-market changes are non-cash, (ii) income taxes as the Company has substantial net operating losses to offset against future income, (iii) changes in the fair-market value of contingent consideration associated with the Enteris acquisition as these changes are non-cash, and (iv) depreciation and amortization expenses, primarily associated with the Enteris acquisition.
In addition to the adjustments noted above, non-GAAP finance receivable segment net income also excludes Enteris' operating losses.
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 more fully 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.
