February, 12 2019 07:00 AM On Deck Capital Inc.

NEW YORK, Feb. 12, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- OnDeckÂ® (NYSE:ONDK), the leader in online lending for small business, today announced fourth quarter 2018 Net income of $14.0 million, Adjusted Net income of $15.9 million and Gross revenue of $109.5 million, and full year 2018 Net income of $27.7 million, Adjusted Net income of $45.4 million and Gross revenue of $398.4 million.

"Our record fourth quarter earnings cap a year of significant progress at OnDeck, highlighted by strong growth and improved profitability," said Noah Breslow, chief executive officer. "We solidified our position as the leading online lender to small businesses in the US, launched ODX, our platform-as-a-service business, and announced plans to scale our international operations and enter the equipment finance market. We advanced these initiatives while strengthening our balance sheet, improving our funding profile and increasing profitability. OnDeck enters 2019 with considerable momentum fueled by our US lending franchise and is well-positioned to drive additional shareholder value through our high-growth strategic initiatives in 2019 and beyond."

Review of Financial Results for the Fourth Quarter of 2018

Net income was $14.0 million, or $0.18 per diluted share, and increased from $9.8 million, $0.12 per diluted share, in the prior quarter and $5.1 million, $0.07 per diluted share, in the year-ago period.

Adjusted Net income was $15.9 million, or $0.20 per diluted share, and increased from $13.2 million, $0.17 per diluted share, in the prior quarter and $8.1 million, $0.10 per diluted share, in the year-ago period.

Loans grew 5% sequentially and 23% from a year ago to $1,169 million. We had record origination volume of $658 million, a 2% increase from the third quarter and 21% increase from the year-ago quarter, the latter of which reflected growth across all channels. Compared to the prior quarter, term loan unit volume increased 4% to 9,677 while the average term loan size decreased slightly to $53 thousand.

Gross revenue increased to $109.5 million, up 6% from the prior quarter and 25% from the year-ago quarter, driven by higher Interest income that resulted from portfolio growth and higher yields. Loan Yield of 36.6% was essentially flat with the prior quarter and up from 34.8% the year-ago quarter reflecting improved pricing and portfolio performance.

Interest expense decreased from the prior quarter to $11.2 million despite a higher debt balance and higher market interest rates. The Cost of Funds Rate of 5.6%, improved from 6.1% the prior quarter and 6.5% in the year-ago quarter. The sequential improvement in funding costs and the cost of funds rate reflects the full period impact of debt refinancing completed in August. We also achieved an approximate 100 basis point savings on an approximately $120 million debt facility extension completed in December.

Net Interest Margin increased to 30.0% from 29.3% in the prior quarter and 27.2% in the year-ago quarter reflecting the improvements in Loan Yield and Cost of Funds Rate.

Provision for loan losses was $39.9 million, up slightly sequentially and $5.4 million from a year ago primarily reflecting increased origination volume. The Provision Rate of 6.0% remained at the low end of our annual guidance range. The 15+ Day Delinquency Ratio increased to 7.5% from 6.4% the prior quarter and 6.7% a year ago reflecting our decision to retain and collect on more 90-day plus delinquent loans and impacts from credit testing. The Net Charge-off Rate increased sequentially to 12.0% but remained below the prior year's rate of 12.9% and was at the low end of our target range of 12-14%. The Reserve Ratio was 12.2% at year-end 2018, flat sequentially and up approximately 60 basis points from a year ago reflecting the portfolio quality trends.

Operating expenses of $45.0 million, which included a $1.1 million sales tax refund, increased from the comparable periods to support growth in the business and investments in our strategic initiatives. Our Efficiency Ratio of 41.1% was essentially flat sequentially and improved from 42.9% in the year ago quarter, while our Adjusted Efficiency Ratio rose to 39.4% from 38.1% the prior quarter and was essentially flat with the year-ago quarter.

Total assets increased 2% sequentially and 17% from a year ago to $1,162 million driven by loan growth. Cash and cash equivalents were $60 million compared to $71 million in the prior and year-ago quarters. Debt of $816 million was up slightly from September 30, 2018 as sequential loan growth was largely funded with available liquidity and increased at a rate commensurate with total asset growth from a year ago.

Total OnDeck stockholders' equity of $300 million increased $15 million, or 5%, from the prior quarter and $38 million, or 14%, from a year ago. Book value per diluted common share outstanding of $3.77 increased from $3.58 the prior quarter and $3.39 a year ago.

Review of Financial Results for Full Year 2018

Net income of $27.7 million, or $0.35 per diluted share, improved from the Net loss of $11.5 million, $0.16 per diluted share, in 2017. Adjusted Net income was $45.4 million, or $0.58 per diluted share, improved from $4.2 million, $0.06 per diluted share, in 2017.

Gross revenue increased 14% to $398.4 million, driven by higher Interest income reflecting loan growth and higher yields. Loans grew 23% from a year ago driven by an 17% increase in origination volume to nearly $2.5 billion. Net Interest Margin increased from 26.1% a year ago to 29.0% as Loan Yield increased from 33.8% to 36.2% and the Cost of Funds Rate was essentially unchanged at 6.3%.

Credit costs decreased in 2018 with the Provision for loan losses declining $4.4 million to $148.5 million despite increased originations and a larger portfolio. The Net Charge-off Ratio improved to 11.3% from 15.8% during 2017 reflecting tightened underwriting standards and improved portfolio performance. The Reserve Ratio increased from 11.6% at year-end 2017 to 12.2% as we increased reserves to accommodate for the increase in late-stage delinquency that resulted from our decision to retain more past due loans for collection.

Operating expenses increased 7% to $177.5 million as efficiency initiatives in the U.S. lending operation were offset by investments in strategic growth initiatives. Our Efficiency Ratio improved from 47.3% in 2017 to 44.6% in 2018, while our Adjusted Efficiency Ratio improved from 42.9% to 40.1%, as the revenue growth rate outpaced the expense growth rate.

We had no provision for income taxes in 2017 or 2018.

2019 Full-Year and First Quarter Guidance

OnDeck provided following financial guidance for full-year 2019:

Gross revenue of $445 million to $465 million,
Net income of $20 million to $30 million and
Adjusted Net income of $30 million to $40 million.

The full-year 2019 financial guidance assumes the following trends relative to full-year 2018:

Low double-digit percentage growth in Loans,
A slight increase in Net Interest Margin driven by a lower cost of funds,
A slight increase in the Efficiency Ratio reflecting a $15 million incremental investment in growth initiatives,
A Provision Rate near the mid-point of our 6-7% target range, and
An effective tax rate of approximately 20% as the company expects to fully utilize its remaining net operating loss carry forwards in 2019.

Additionally, OnDeck provided the following financial guidance for the first quarter of 2019:

Gross revenue of $108 million to $112 million,
Net income of $2 million to $6 million, and
Adjusted Net income of $5 million to $9 million.

This guidance excludes any impact from our anticipated business combination with Evolocity Financial Group in Canada and assumes the macro-economic, small business lending and capital market environments remain steady.

About Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release and its attachments include historical and projected "Adjusted" metrics including Adjusted Net income (loss), Adjusted Net income (loss) per share, Adjusted Efficiency Ratio, Adjusted Return on Assets and Adjusted Return on Equity. These financial measures are not calculated or presented in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, because they all exclude items required to be included in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted metrics exclude items management deems to be non-representative of operating results or trends ("noteworthy items") and expenses related to stock-based compensation, which are non-cash expenses. We believe these non-GAAP measures provide useful supplemental information for period-to-period comparisons of our business and can assist investors and others in understanding and evaluating our operating results. However, these non-GAAP measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for or superior to any measures of financial performance calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. Other companies may calculate these or similarly titled non-GAAP measures differently than we do. See "Non-GAAP Reconciliation" and "Non-GAAP Guidance Reconciliation" later in this press release for a description of these non-GAAP measures and a reconciliation to the most directly comparable financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Forward-looking statements can be identified by words such as "will," "enables," "targets," "expects," "intends," "may," "allows," "plans," "continues," "believes," "anticipates," "estimates" or similar expressions. These include statements regarding guidance on Gross revenue and Net income for 2019, the assumed Loan growth rate, Net Interest Margin, Net Charge-off Ratio, Loan Loss Reserve Ratio, Efficiency Ratio and effective tax rate, and macro-economic and other external factors. They are based only on our current beliefs, expectations and assumptions regarding the future of our business, anticipated events and trends, the economy and other future conditions. As such, they are subject to inherent uncertainties, risks and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict and in many cases outside our control. Therefore, you should not rely on any of these forward-looking statements. Our expected results may not be achieved, and actual results may differ materially from our expectations. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ from our forward-looking statements include risks relating to: (1) our ability to achieve consistent profitability in the future in light of our prior loss history; (2) worsening economic conditions that may result in decreased demand for our loans or services and increase our customers' default rates; (3) the effectiveness of our risk management efforts; (4) our ability to accurately assess creditworthiness and forecast and reserve for losses; (5) disruptions in credit markets and the availability and cost of our key funding sources; (6) our growth strategies, including the introduction of new products or features, expanding ODX, our platform-as-a-service business, to other lenders, expansion into international markets, and our ability to effectively manage that growth; (7) changes in federal or state laws or regulations, or judicial decisions, if and when issued or enacted, involving licensing or supervision of commercial lenders, interest rate limitations, the enforceability of choice of law provisions in loan agreements, the validity of bank sponsor partnerships, the use of brokers or other significant changes; (8) our ability to prevent or discover security breaches, disruption in service and comparable events that could compromise confidential information held in our data systems or adversely impact our ability to service our loans; (9) our ability to hire and retain necessary qualified employees in a competitive labor market; and (10) the impact of competition in our industry and innovation by our competitors; and other risks, including those described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017 and in other documents that we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission from time to time which are or will be available on the Commission's website at www.sec.gov.

Notes:

⁽¹⁾Unpaid Principal Balance represents the total amount of principal outstanding of term loans held for investment, amounts outstanding under lines of credit and the amortized cost of loans purchased from other than issuing bank partners at the end of the period. It excludes net deferred origination costs, allowance for loan losses and any loans sold or held for sale at the end of the period.

⁽²⁾Loans represents the sum of Loans held for investment and Loans held for sale at end of the period.

⁽³⁾Interest Earning Assets represents the sum of Loans plus Cash and Cash Equivalents plus Restricted Cash. Average Interest Earnings Assets is calculated as the average of Interest Earnings Assets at the beginning of the period and the end of each month in the period.

⁽⁴⁾Average Balance Sheet items for the period represent the average as of the beginning of the first month of the period and as of the end of each month of the period.

⁽⁵⁾Originations represent the total principal amount of the term loans we made during the period, plus the total amount drawn on lines of credit during the period. Many of our repeat term loan customers renew their term loans before their existing term loan is fully repaid. In accordance with industry practice, originations of such repeat term loans are presented as the full renewal loan principal, rather than the net funded amount, which would be the renewal term loan's principal net of the unpaid principal balance on the existing term loan. Loans referred to, and funded by, our issuing bank partners and later purchased by us are included as part of our originations.

⁽⁶⁾Loan Yield is the rate of return we achieve on loans outstanding during a period. It is calculated as annualized Net Interest income on Loans including Amortization of net deferred origination costs divided by average Loans. Annualization is based on 365 days per year and is calendar day-adjusted.

⁽⁷⁾Cost of Funds Rate is calculated as Interest expense divided by average Debt outstanding for the period. For periods of less than one year, the metric is annualized based on four quarters per year and is not business day or calendar day-adjusted.

⁽⁸⁾Net Interest Margin is calculated as annualized Net Interest income divided by average Interest Earning Assets. Net Interest income represents Interest income less Interest expense during the period. Annualization is based on 365 days per year and is calendar day-adjusted.

⁽⁹⁾Provision Rate equals the Provision for loan losses for the period divided by Originations of Loans held for investment for the period. Because we reserve for probable credit losses inherent in the portfolio upon origination, this rate is significantly impacted by the expectation of credit losses for the period's originations volume. This rate may also be impacted by changes in loss expectations for loans originated prior to the commencement of the period.

⁽¹⁰⁾Reserve Ratio is our Allowance for loan losses as of the end of the period divided by the Unpaid Principal Balance as of the end of the period.

⁽¹¹⁾15+ Day Delinquency Ratio equals the aggregate Unpaid Principal Balance for our loans that are 15 or more calendar days past due as of the end of the period as a percentage of the Unpaid Principal Balance at the end of the period. The Unpaid Principal Balance for our loans that are 15 or more calendar days past due includes loans that are paying and non-paying. Because our loans require daily and weekly repayments, excluding weekends and holidays, they may be deemed delinquent more quickly than loans from traditional lenders that require only monthly payments.

⁽¹²⁾Net Charge-off Rate is calculated as our annualized net charge-offs for the period divided by the average Unpaid Principal Balance outstanding during the period. Net charge-offs are charged-off loans in the period, net of recoveries of prior charged-off loans in the period. For periods of less than one year, the metric is annualized based on four quarters per year and is not business day or calendar day-adjusted.

⁽¹³⁾Efficiency Ratio is a measure of operating efficiency and is calculated as Total operating expense for the period divided by Gross revenue for the period.

⁽¹⁴⁾Adjusted Efficiency Ratio is non-GAAP measure calculated as Total operating expense divided by Gross revenue for the period, adjusted to exclude (a) stock-based compensation expense and (b) items management deems to be non-representative of operating results or trends, all as shown in the non-GAAP reconciliation presentation of this metric. We believe Adjusted Efficiency Ratio is a useful because it provides investors and others with a supplemental operating efficiency metric to present our operating efficiency across multiple periods without the effects of stock-based compensation, which is a non-cash expense based on equity grants made to participants in our equity plans at specified prices and times but which does not necessarily reflect how our business is performing, and items which may only affect our operating results periodically. Our use of Adjusted Efficiency Ratio has limitations as an analytical tool and you should not consider it in isolation, as a substitute for or superior to our Efficiency Ratio, which is which is the most comparable GAAP metric.

⁽¹⁵⁾Return on Assets is calculated as annualized Net income (loss) attributable to On Deck Capital, Inc. common stockholders for the period divided by average Total assets for the period. For periods of less than one year, the metric is annualized based on four quarters per year and is not business day or calendar day-adjusted.

⁽¹⁶⁾Adjusted Return on Assets is a non-GAAP measure calculated as Adjusted Net income (loss) for the period divided by average Total Assets for the period. For periods of less than one year, the metric is annualized based on four quarters per year and is not business day or calendar day-adjusted. We believe Adjusted Return on Assets is useful because it provides investors and others with a supplemental metric to assess our performance across multiple periods without the effects of stock-based compensation, which is a non-cash expense based on equity grants made to participants in our equity plans at specified prices and times but which does not necessarily reflect how our business is performing, and items which may only affect our operating results periodically, all as shown in the non-GAAP reconciliation presentation of this metric. Our use of Adjusted Return on Assets has limitations as an analytical tool and you should not consider it in isolation, as a substitute for or superior to Return on Assets, which is the most comparable GAAP metric.

⁽¹⁷⁾Return on Equity is calculated as annualized Net income (loss) attributable to On Deck Capital, Inc. common stockholders for the period divided by average Total On Deck Capital, Inc. stockholders' equity for the period. For periods of less than one year, the metric is annualized based on four quarters per year and is not business day or calendar day-adjusted.

⁽¹⁸⁾Adjusted Return on Equity is a non-GAAP measure calculated as Adjusted Net Income (Loss) attributable to On Deck Capital, Inc. common stockholders for the period divided by average Total On Deck Capital, Inc. stockholders' equity for the period. For periods of less than one year, the metric is annualized based on four quarters per year and is not business day or calendar day-adjusted. We believe Adjusted Return on Equity is a useful because it provides investors with a supplemental metric to assess our performance across multiple periods without the effects of stock-based compensation, which is a non-cash expense based on equity grants made to participants in our equity plans at specified prices and times but which does not necessarily reflect how our business is performing, and items which may only affect our operating results periodically, all as shown in the non-GAAP reconciliation presentation of this metric. Our use of Adjusted Return on Equity has limitations as an analytical tool and you should not consider it in isolation, as a substitute or superior to Return on Equity, which is the most comparable GAAP metric.

⁽¹⁹⁾Adjusted Net income (loss) is a non-GAAP measure calculated as Net income (loss) attributable to On Deck Capital, Inc. common stockholders adjusted to exclude from Net income (loss) attributable to On Deck Capital, Inc. common stockholders (a) stock-based compensation expense and (b) items management deems to be non-representative of operating results or trends, all as shown in the non-GAAP reconciliation presentation of this metric. We believe Adjusted Net income (loss) is useful because it provides investors and others with a supplemental profitability metric to present our performance across multiple periods without the effects of stock-based compensation, which is a non-cash expense based on equity grants made to participants in our equity plans at specified prices and times but which does not necessarily reflect how our business is performing, and items which may only affect our operating results periodically. Our use of Adjusted Net income (loss) has limitations as an analytical tool and you should not consider it in isolation, as a substitute for or superior to Net income (loss) attributable to On Deck Capital, Inc. common stockholders, which is the most comparable GAAP metric.

⁽²⁰⁾Adjusted Net income (loss) per share is a non-GAAP measure calculated as Adjusted Net income (loss) divided by the weighted average common shares outstanding during the period. We believe Adjusted Net income (loss) per share is useful because it provides investors and others with a supplemental profitability metric to present our performance across multiple periods without the effects of stock-based compensation, which is a non-cash expense based on equity grants made to participants in our equity plans at specified prices and times but which does not necessarily reflect how our business is performing, and items which may only affect our operating results periodically. Our use of Adjusted Net income (loss) per share has limitations as an analytical tool and you should not consider it in isolation, as a substitute for or superior to Net income (loss) attributable to On Deck Capital, Inc. common stockholders per share, which is the most comparable GAAP metric.
