NewtekOne (NASDAQ:NEWT – Get Free Report) announced its quarterly earnings data on Thursday. The business services provider reported $0.47 earnings per share for the quarter, hitting analysts’ consensus estimates of $0.47, FiscalAI reports. NewtekOne had a net margin of 16.15% and a return on equity of 19.00%. The business had revenue of $90.05 million for the quarter, compared to analysts’ expectations of $75.00 million.
Here are the key takeaways from NewtekOne’s conference call:
- Second-quarter EPS was $0.48 basic and $0.47 diluted, while tangible book value continued to grow; management highlighted 75.3% tangible book value per-share growth over the 12 quarters since the bank-holding-company conversion.
- Deposits reached approximately $2.2 billion, with core consumer deposits increasing by $297 million during the quarter and 81% of deposit accounts insured below the $250,000 threshold. Management cited low-cost digital account acquisition and sticky deposits as key advantages.
- Newtek plans to hold more SBA-guaranteed and C&I loans on the bank’s balance sheet, shifting revenue from gain-on-sale income toward net interest income. Executives acknowledged this could pressure headline EPS over the next several quarters, and guidance is being reevaluated over the next 45 to 60 days.
- Credit metrics were mixed: net charge-offs improved, but 30-day delinquencies and guaranteed-loan nonperforming assets increased. Management said reserves remain appropriate, with 89% of the allowance for credit losses allocated to unguaranteed SBA 7(a) loans, and expects full recovery on the $15 million Simad Holdings exposure despite its bankruptcy.
- Management emphasized its technology platform—including digital onboarding, automated loan processing, real-time payments and the Newtek Advantage portal—as a potential competitive and licensing opportunity. The company said it is pursuing white-label or infrastructure relationships with other financial institutions, although adoption may take time.
