(NASDAQ: NEWT) (the \u201cCompany\u201d) reported that it originated a record 961 loans in the first quarter of 2026, marking a 40% increase compared to the first quarter of 2025. Dollar volume of 1Q26 loan originations approximated $391 million, up from $366 million in 1Q25.

In March alone, we originated 500 loan units, a 74% increase over the 287 units originated in March 2025; dollar volume in March was roughly $230 million, up 34% over the $172 million of originations for March 2025.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Mr. Sloane added, &#8220;Further incorporating AI into the loan origination process has helped us support deposit gathering and the lending function simultaneously. We believe that we have not only reduced the time and cost to close a loan, but borrowers will benefit from faster access to capital and lower closing costs, while we gain efficiency and the ability to attract higher-quality credits. These technological advances, which are now fully incorporated into our loan origination process, can position us to capture incremental market share, increase volume, and further diversify our loan portfolio. In our lending demographic, the highest quality loans gravitate toward the lender that can commit, fund, and close fastest.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur Newtek Seven Day Business Loan\u2122, which is funded within seven days of a completed loan application, has proven to be a great success in its early stages. After a slow January and early February, we are optimistic about our full-year origination projections and credit quality metrics. We remain comfortable with the first quarter and full year EPS guidance ranges of $0.37\u2013$0.47 and $2.15\u2013$2.55, respectively.
