SWK Holdings Corporation Announces Financial Results for Third Quarter 2020

Conference Call and Live Audio Webcast Scheduled for Monday, November 16, 2020, at 10:00 a.m. ET

PR Newswire

DALLAS, Nov. 13, 2020 /PRNewswire/ —

Corporate Highlights

  • Enteris BioPharma, Inc., (“Enteris”) a wholly-owned subsidiary of SWK Holdings, recognized $2.5 million in milestone revenue under the license agreement with Cara Therapeutics, Inc. (“Cara”)
    • Under the Enteris acquisition agreement, SWK is required to pay the sellers of Enteris $1.0 million in consideration for achieving the milestone
  • Closed $4.4 million purchase of portfolio of royalties from PDL BioPharma, Inc. (“PDL”)
  • Post quarter closed $3.9 million purchase of royalty on portfolio of Ostomy products
  • Repurchased 70,176 shares during the third quarter 2020; Share repurchase program expired September 30, 2020. Since initiation of authorization, SWK has repurchased approximately 3% of its outstanding shares.

Third Quarter 2020 Financial Highlights

  • Core specialty finance segment generated a 11.9% adjusted ROIC with yielding assets increasing 4.6% year over year to $183.5 million
  • Total revenue for the quarter ended September 30, 2020 was $10.6 million, a 68% increase from $6.3 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2019
  • Quarterly GAAP net income of $4.3 million, or $0.34 per diluted share, and non-GAAP adjusted net income of $6.7 million
  • Non-GAAP specialty finance net income of $6.2 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2020, as compared to $6.5 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2019
  • Tangible financing book value per share1 of $15.52 as of September 30, 2020
  • Deployed $4.4 million during the quarter, with an additional $3.9 million deployed post quarter close. As of November 10, 2020, SWK had approximately $11.6 million in cash and equivalents and an additional $20.0 million availability remaining on a revolving credit facility.

SWK Holdings Corporation (Nasdaq: SWKH), a life sciences 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, 2020.

“The third quarter and recent weeks continued what has been a strong 2020 for SWK, highlighted by additions to our royalty portfolio as well as solid results in our specialty finance segment, with an adjusted return on invested capital of 11.9 percent for the past 12 months,” stated Winston Black, Chairman and CEO of SWK. “The credit quality of our specialty finance portfolio remains strong. The progress reported by our portfolio partners, particularly amid the challenges presented by the Covid-19 pandemic, illustrates the merit of building an investment portfolio focused on small and mid-sized life sciences companies with differentiated commercial products. This remains the foundation of SWK Holdings, and, we believe, the engine that will drive consistent growth.”

Mr. Black continued, “Characteristic of this strategy was a recent pair of opportunistic royalty transactions. The $4.4 million acquisition in October of a royalty on a portfolio of Ostomy products, preceded in August by the purchase of the royalties for Coflex®, Kybella® and Zalviso® from PDL, were very much in keeping with our approach to targeting off-the-run opportunities. We continue to source attractive financing opportunities and believe the current market environment remains favorable for SWK’s specialty finance strategy.”

_______________________________


1 Excludes the deferred tax asset, intangible assets, goodwill, property and equipment and contingent consideration payable

Mr. Black concluded, “We are also pleased with the progress at our subsidiary, Enteris, as it advances its mission to be the industry leader in the development of orally delivered peptides and small molecules. Under CEO Rajiv Khosla, Enteris remains focused on maximizing the potential of the Company’s Peptelligence® platform through external partnerships and its own internal development pipeline. Enteris’s partnership with Cara continues to advance as evidenced by receipt of a $2.5 million milestone payment from Cara in October for the ongoing development of Oral KORSUVA™. Additional payments are expected from Cara in coming quarters, subject to the achievement of certain development milestones for Oral KORSUVA™. Importantly, for future potential partners, we believe the successful advancement of the Cara partnership validates the breadth and depth of Enteris’s comprehensive pharmaceutical capabilities.”

Third Quarter 2020 Financial Results

For the third quarter 2020, SWK reported total revenue of $10.6 million compared to $6.3 million for the third quarter 2019. Revenue primarily consisted of interest and fees earned on our finance receivables and royalty payments, as well as pharmaceutical development revenue generated by Enteris, including a milestone from Cara. The $4.3 million increase in total revenues during the 2020 period included $2.5 million of milestone revenue related to Enteris’s license agreement with Cara, a $0.9 million net increase in royalty income and a $0.7 million net increase in fees and interest earned on our finance receivables due to additional funding on existing loans.

Income before taxes for the third quarter 2020 totaled $3.9 million compared to $3.5 million for the same period of the previous year. The year over year increase is primarily driven by the increase in revenue noted above and partially offset by a $2.3 million increase in expense for the amortization of Enteris-related intangibles, a $1.0 million increase in overall operating expenses (excluding amortization of Enteris-related intangibles), and a $0.1 million net loss in changes in the fair value of our derivatives and equity positions.

The GAAP net income for the third quarter ended September 30, 2020 totaled $4.3 million, or $0.34 per diluted share, compared to $4.2 million, or $0.32 per diluted share for the third quarter 2019. For the third quarter 2020, non-GAAP adjusted net income was $6.7 million, and non-GAAP adjusted net income for the specialty finance segment was $6.2 million. These figures for the third quarter of 2019 were $5.0 million of adjusted net income and $6.5 million adjusted net income for the specialty finance segment.

Income producing assets (defined as finance receivables and corporate debt securities) totaled $183.5 million as of September 30, 2020. This is a 4.6% increase compared with the income producing assets of $175.5 million as of September 30, 2019.

Book value per share was $18.44 as of September 30, 2020, which was negatively impacted during the quarter by a $0.20 per share expense related to the amortization of Enteris-related intangible assets, a $0.01 per share loss due to the increase in the fair value of the Enteris acquisition-related contingent consideration liability. Book value per share was $18.31 as of December 31, 2019 and $17.63 as of September 30, 2019. The increase in the Enteris acquisition-related contingent liability resulted from increased expectations regarding achievement of certain milestones associated with Enteris’s existing license agreements. Tangible financing book value per share totaled $15.52 as of September 30, 2020, which excludes the deferred tax asset, intangible assets, goodwill, property and equipment and contingent consideration payable. Management views tangible financing book value per share as a relevant metric to value the company’s core specialty finance business.

Tables detailing SWK’s financial performance for the third quarter 2020 are below.

Portfolio Status

During the third quarter 2020, SWK deployed $4.4 million to purchase from PDL royalty interest for Coflex®, Kybella®, and Zalviso®. At the end of the third quarter 2020, the weighted average projected effective yield of the finance receivables portfolio was 13.4%, including non-accrual positions, versus 13.9% as of the end of the third quarter in the previous year. The projected effective yield is the rate at which income is expected to be recognized pursuant to SWK’s revenue recognition policies, if all payments are received pursuant to the terms of the finance receivables and excludes non-interest earning assets such as warrants and equity investments.

Total portfolio investment activity for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 was as follows (in thousands):

Update on Share Repurchase Program

On March 26, 2020, the SWK Board of Directors authorized a new program for the repurchase of up to an aggregate of $2.0 million of SWK’s common shares from time to time through a “10b5-1 trading plan” in compliance with Rule 10b-18 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.  This program, which expired on September 30, 2020, replaced the previous share repurchase program that expired on February 29, 2020.  In the aggregate, SWK repurchased 70,176 shares during the quarter ended September 30, 2020 and 384,368 shares since the commencing of the repurchase program through November 10, 2020, deploying $4.2 million into SWK’s equity, all executed at a material discount to the SWK’s book value per share.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This release includes non-GAAP adjusted net income and non-GAAP specialty finance net income, which are not metrics that are 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 SWK has substantial net operating losses to offset against future income, and (iii) depreciation and amortization expenses, primarily associated with the Enteris acquisition).
  • In addition to the adjustments noted above, non-GAAP specialty finance net income also excludes Enteris operating losses (adjusted for intangibles amortization) and one-time expenses related to the acquisition of Enteris.
  • Tangible financing book value per share excludes the deferred tax asset, intangible assets, goodwill, Enteris PP&E, and contingent consideration associated with the Enteris transaction.

These non-GAAP measures may not be directly comparable to similar measures used by other companies in our 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. These metrics should be considered in addition to, and not as a replacement for, the most comparable GAAP measure.

Farmers & Merchants Bancorp, Inc. Announces Office Realignment

Consolidation Part of Strategic Plan and Continued Investments in Remote and Electronic banking to Enhance Customer Banking Experience

ARCHBOLD, Ohio, Nov. 13, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Farmers & Merchants Bancorp, Inc. (Nasdaq: FMAO) today announced plans to consolidate four of its offices as part of the Company’s strategic plan to improve operating efficiencies, reinvest in new remote and electronic banking initiatives, and better serve customers.

Lars B. Eller, President and Chief Executive Officer, stated: “Our customers have come to expect the best and easiest banking experience from us, and we continue to work hard to deliver on that expectation. Over the years, we have continued to allocate resources into developing ways to bank with us electronically and remotely. Our customers are using these products and services more and more every day, including during the limited access of in-lobby banking that occurred earlier this year as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.”

F&M’s office realignment plans include:

  • 1313 S. Defiance St., Archbold,
    OH office will consolidate into our Archbold Main Office at 307 N. Defiance Street effective March 1, 2021 and reopen drive-up services at our Archbold Operations Center at 620 S. Clyde’s Way.
  • 119 N. Fulton St., Wauseon,
    OH office will consolidate into our Wauseon Shoop Office, 1130 N. Shoop Avenue effective March 1, 2021.
  • 929 E. High St., Bryan,
    OH office will consolidate into our Bryan South Towne Office, 1000 S. Main St effective March 1, 2021. The Bryan East High Office will temporarily provide limited access to drive-up services and appointment only services as F&M expands its Bryan South Towne Office.
  • 103 Main St., Monroeville, IN will consolidate into our Decatur Office, 1118 S. 13th St. effective March 1, 2021. F&M also has two additional full-service locations in Allen County, our NEW Fort Wayne Illinois Road Office, 7370 Illinois Rd. and our Huntertown Office, 12106 Lima Rd.
  • F&M will continue to operate ATMs at all impacted locations

Additional information relating to the closures will be sent to the customers that bank at these offices in the next few days. In addition, customers with safe deposit boxes at the effected offices will receive detailed information on how to transfer the contents within the next 30 days. Customers with any questions or concerns, please call F&M at 419-446-2501. Employees impacted by F&M’s office consolidation program will have opportunities to transition to other roles within F&M over the course of the next few months.

Mr. Eller continued: “Consolidating offices is a challenging but necessary decision and follows a thorough review of our operations. Having a physical presence in our markets remains an important component of our community-oriented values and the locations we are closing are all conveniently located near other F&M offices. In addition, the added ease of being able to bank with F&M in various ways has reduced the usage of some of our office locations. As a result, we want to continue to meet our goal of delivering the best products, services, and customer experience to our communities and will redirect resources to support our remote and electronic banking platform.”

“We are working closely with affected employees to help them transition to other roles within F&M. Over the past 12 months, we have added new loan production offices in Muncie, IN and Oxford, OH. In addition, a new loan production office in West Bloomfield, MI and a new full-service branch in Fort Wayne are expected to open in the coming weeks. Our expansion strategy is adding high-quality jobs within our communities and I am encouraged with our ability to attract experienced, motivated, and dedicated associates to the F&M team. For offices impacted by our consolidation plans, we are working on opportunities that we believe will enable continued contributions to our communities,” concluded Mr. Eller.

About Farmers & Merchants State Bank:

The Farmers & Merchants State Bank is a local independent community bank that has been serving Northwest Ohio and Northeast Indiana since 1897. The Farmers & Merchants State Bank provides commercial banking, retail banking and other financial services through its offices. Our locations are in Fulton, Defiance, Hancock, Henry, Lucas, Williams, and Wood counties in Northwest Ohio.
