Safe Harbor Financial Announces First Quarter 2024 Results

--Net Income increased 245% year-over-year to approximately $2.0 million in the first quarter of 2024

--Adjusted EBITDA increased 165.3% to approximately $1.1 million(1)

--Operating Expenses decreased 35.8% versus the same period in 2023

GOLDEN, Colo., May 13, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- SHF Holdings, Inc., d/b/a/ Safe Harbor Financial (“Safe Harbor” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: SHFS), a leader in facilitating financial services and credit facilities to the regulated cannabis industry, announced today its financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2024.

First Quarter 2024 Financial & Operational Summary

  • Net Income increased 245% to approximately $2.0 million, compared to a net loss of approximately $1.4 million in the same period of 2023;
  • Revenue was approximately $4.1 million, compared to approximately $4.2 million for the first quarter of 2023;
  • Gross profit was approximately $325,000, versus a gross loss of approximately $1.6 million in the first quarter of 2024;
  • Operating Expenses decreased 35.8% to $3.7 million, compared to $5.8 million in the first quarter of 2023;
  • Adjusted EBITDA increased 165.3% to approximately $1.1 million, compared to $410,000 for the first quarter of 2023(1).

(1) Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial metric. A reconciliation of non-GAAP to GAAP measures is included below in this earnings release.

“We continued to expand the breadth of our service offering in the first quarter, advancing several strategic initiatives and establishing a more diversified income base,” said Sundie Seefried, Chief Executive Officer of Safe Harbor Financial. “We have been very successful with this effort, specifically within our lending program, nearly tripling our loan book year-over-year and driving a 251% increase in our loan income to $1.64 million in the first quarter of 2024 compared to $466,293 in the comparable period of 2023.”

“These results speak directly to our unique ability to support the unmet financial needs of the cannabis industry, and the continued growth opportunity for Safe Harbor to address the evolving financial requirements of cannabis related businesses (CRB’s) through our streamlined platform. With the increasing likelihood that cannabis will be reclassified from a Schedule I drug to a Schedule III drug, we believe there will be a material increase of capital from these businesses moved into financial institutions, thereby creating stronger demand for our services,” concluded Seefried.

First Quarter 2024 Operational Highlights

  • On January 4, 2024, the Company announced it originated a $9 Million first lien secured loan for a major, MSO-operated cultivation facility in Denver, Colorado.
  • On March 12, 2024, Safe Harbor announced it originated a $4.6 Million secured credit facility for a Michigan cannabis operator.

Other Significant Events

  • On April 15th, 2024, the Company appointed CEO, Sundie Seefried to its Board of Directors.

First Quarter 2024 Financial Results

For the first quarter ended March 31, 2024, total revenue decreased 3% to $4.1 million, compared to $4.2 million in the prior year period, due to fewer accounts and lower balances on deposit versus the prior year period.

First quarter 2024 net income was approximately $2.0 million, compared to a net loss of $1.4 million in the prior year period. The driver of the net income produced in the first quarter 2024 was due to lower expenses across the Company. Overall, operating expenses in the period decreased approximately 35.8% to $3.7 million, compared to $5.8 million in the prior year period.

As of March 31, 2024, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $5.6 million, compared to $4.9 million at December 31, 2023.

For more information on the Company’s first quarter 2024 financial results, please refer to our Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2024 filed with the U.S. Securities & Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and accessible at www.sec.gov.

Reconciliation of Net income (loss) to non-GAAP EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA
(Unaudited)

Safe Harbor Financial discloses EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, both of which are non-GAAP financial measures and are calculated as net income before taxes and depreciation and amortization expense in the case of EBITDA and further adjusted to exclude non-cash, unusual and/or infrequent costs in the case of Adjusted EBITDA. Management of the Company uses this information in evaluating period over period performance because it believes that EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA present important metrics regarding the Company’s ongoing operating performance. Investors should consider non-GAAP financial measures only as a supplement to, not as a substitute for or as superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP.

A reconciliation of Net income (loss) to non-GAAP EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA is as follows:

  Three Months Ended March 31, 
  2024  2023 
Net income/(loss) $2,049,676  $(1,413,447)
Interest expense  154,172   643,260 
Depreciation and amortization  195,709   396,314 
Taxes  (438,885)  (609,277)
EBITDA $1,960,672  $(983,150)
         
Other adjustments –        
(Benefit)/ Provision for credit losses  (68,787)  66,666 
Change in the fair value of warrants  (1,255,487)  (433,148)
Change in the fair value of deferred consideration  (184,535)  190,943 
Stock based compensation  612,124   1,570,782 
Loan origination fees and costs  23,373   (2,175)
Adjusted EBITDA $1,087,360  $409,918 
         

For the quarter ending March 31, 2024, our EBITDA income improved primarily as a result of lower General and Administrative expenses and reduced stock-based compensation. Additionally, the increase in adjusted EBITDA income during this period was mainly attributed to the decrease in General and Administrative expenses. This reduction was driven by lower investment hosting fees, decreased amortization and depreciation expenses, and reduced business insurance costs. Additionally, there were decreases in compensation, employee benefits, marketing expenses, and other insurance costs. These factors contributing to our financial performance are further discussed in the “Discussion of our Results of Operations” section below. Other adjustments include estimated future credit losses not yet realized, including amounts indemnified to PCCU for loans funded by them. The Company had entered into a Commercial alliance agreement with PCCU, pursuant to which the Company agreed to indemnify PCCU for claims associated with CRB activities including any loan default related losses for loans funded by PCCU. Deferred loan origination fees and costs represent the change in net deferred loan origination fees and costs. When included with a new loan origination, we receive an upfront loan origination fee in conjunction with new loans funded by our financial institution partners and incur costs associated with originating a specific loan. For accounting purposes, the cash received for loan origination fees and costs is initially deferred and recognized as interest income utilizing the interest method.
