DALLAS, TX / ACCESSWIRE / November 14, 2024 / 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, 2024.

"For the third quarter 2024, SWK's core Finance Receivables segment reported a 10.3% increase in revenue to $9.5 million compared to the same period in the prior year. SWK's finance segment generated $5.2 million of pre-tax GAAP net income and $5.0 million of adjusted non-GAAP net income.

SWK CEO Jody Staggs said "During the quarter, we closed an up to $11.0 million royalty financing with Relief Therapeutics and signed an amendment with existing borrower Eton Pharmaceuticals to provide $25.7 million of additional capital to support Eton's acquisition of a rare disease therapeutic. Eton has publicly stated the acquisition is expected to close by year-end. We also anticipate closing an $8.0 million term loan to a core life science borrower in the next few weeks and are in discussions to advance additional capital to a performing borrower."

Mr. Staggs added, "In conjunction with our borrower partners we have made progress working through three non-accrual loans and anticipate resolution by year end. We believe the resolution of these non-accrual loans combined with the new financings and reduction in our diluted share count positions SWK for a strong 2025."

Third Quarter 2024 Financial Results

For the third quarter 2024, SWK reported total revenue of $10.4 million, a 15.6% increase compared to $9.0 million for the third quarter 2023. The $1.4 million increase in revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2024 mainly consisted of a $0.9 million increase in Finance Receivables segment revenue and a $0.3 million increase in Pharmaceutical Development segment revenue.

Income before income tax expense for the quarter was $4.4 million and $4.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Third quarter 2024 income before income tax expense benefited from a $1.4 million increase in consolidated revenue from interest and fees earned due to funding new loans and loan payoffs, an increase in other income of $0.5 million, and a reduction of depreciation and amortization expense of $0.5 million. These benefits were offset by an increase in the provision for credit losses of $1.2 million and an increase in interest expense of $0.9 million due to issuance of bonds in October of 2023.

GAAP net income for the quarter ended September 30, 2024, decreased to $3.5 million, or $0.28 per diluted share, from $4.5 million, or $0.36 per diluted share, for the third quarter 2023.

For the third quarter 2024, non-GAAP adjusted net income was $4.1 million, or $0.33 per share. Non-GAAP adjusted net income for the Finance Receivables segment was $5.0 million, a decrease from $5.8 million for the third quarter 2023.

Total investment assets (defined as finance receivables, marketable investments, and warrant assets less the allowance for credit losses) totaled $258.7 million as of September 30, 2024, a 15.0% increase compared with total investment assets of $225.0 million as of September 30, 2023. The allowance for credit losses at quarter's end totaled $14.3 million, an increase from $11.3 million in the third quarter of 2023.

GAAP book value per share was $22.94 as of September 30, 2024, a 3.7% increase compared to $22.11 as of September 30, 2023. Non-GAAP tangible financing book value per share totaled $20.42, a 5.9% increase compared to $19.28 at September 30, 2023. 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.

Portfolio Status

During the third quarter, SWK closed a royalty monetization with Relief Therapeutics totaling $11.0 million, with $7.7 million advanced as of November 14, 2024. During the third quarter SWK advanced $2.5 million to Biolase to fund the Chapter 11 bankruptcy process with an additional $1.4 million funded to Biolase in October.

During the third quarter Epica made an $11.6 million payment to fully repay the loan. SWK continues to hold equity in Epica.

The third quarter 2024 realized yield was 13.8%, versus 14.7% for the same period of 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, 2024, non-accrual finance receivables totaled $38.2 million. Of the $38.2 million, $15.8 million consisted of non-accrual financing to Biolase, Inc, $10.4 million consisted of non-accrual financing to Flowonix Medical, $4.5 million consisted of a loan to Exeevo, $3.6 million consisted of a royalty purchase to Ideal Implant, $2.4 million consisted of a royalty to Best ABT, Inc, and $1.5 million consisted of a loan to Trio Healthcare. SWK anticipates receiving partial or full repayment on the Biolase, Exeevo, and Trio loans over the next 90 days.

As of September 30, 2024, SWK had $39.0 million of unfunded commitments, including the $25.7 million unfunded commitment to Eton Pharmaceuticals. The $5.0 million unfunded commitment to Journey Medical became eligible to be drawn with the November 4^th announcement of FDA approval of Emrosi.

Total portfolio investment activity for the three months ended September 30, 2024, and 2023 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-month periods ended September 30, 2024 and 2023. The table eliminates provisions for income taxes, non-cash mark-to-market changes on warrant assets and equity securities, amortization of Enteris intangible assets, and foreign currency transaction gains and losses.

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, (iv) (gain) loss on remeasurement of contingent considerable, and (v) foreign currency (gains) losses

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-month periods ended September 30, 2024 and 2023. 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 equity securities, amortization of Enteris intangible assets, foreign currency transaction (gains) losses and any non-cash impact on the remeasurement of contingent consideration.

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, 2024 and 2023. The table eliminates the deferred tax assets, intangible assets, goodwill, Enteris property and equipment and acquisition-related contingent consideration (in thousands, except per share data):

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.

Non-GAAP 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 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.
