Key Q&A
Q:Can you provide details on the new partnership with Block and Cash App?
A:The partnership involves card issuance for Block's Cash App Card. The company already handles rapid funds transfer for Block. This is a significant program as Block is a major fintech player with over 50 million customers. The mandate is to replace Sutton Bank's volume over time.
Q:What caused the lower deposits this quarter?
A:The lower deposits were due to tax receipts, taking some savings deposits off balance sheet, $500 million of insurance deposits for California wildfires running off, and excess liquidity being taken off balance sheet. It was all balance sheet management driven.
Q:Can you provide color on borrowers' ability to make balloon payments in the REBL book?
A:The company has visibility into borrowers' business plans and works with them proactively. Extensions are granted for performing properties. Issues with loans are identified early, and the company does not expect another spike in substandard assets. They aim to reduce substandard loans meaningfully over the next two quarters.
Q:Are renovations continuing at the Aubrey property, and are you funding them?
A:Yes, renovations are continuing. Occupancy has increased from mid-30s to mid-60s. 20 units are ready to lease, and additional work is planned. If a buyer is not found in the next 6 weeks, the company will fund the remaining renovations, aiming to lease up to 90% occupancy and potentially gain on the property.
Q:Are there associated expenses for the new card program with Block?
A:Yes, there will be incremental hires and some additional resources required. However, the base infrastructure is leverageable, and productivity enhancements like machine learning and AI are expected to offset costs over time.
Q:Where do you see the benefits of AI impacting your business?
A:AI is expected to impact areas like legal contracts, SARs filing, and productivity tools. The company is studying use cases and plans to lean into AI in 2026, aiming for significant productivity gains and efficient resource allocation as GDV grows.
Q:What is the outlook for the $1.4 billion of REBL loans maturing within the next 12 months?
A:The company expects most loans to be extended or refinanced by third parties. They have visibility into borrowers' plans and are working proactively. Substandard loans have been identified, and the company does not expect significant increases in substandard assets.
Q:Why did the appraisal value of the Aubrey property increase despite not finding a buyer?
A:The appraisal value increased due to substantial improvements, including increased occupancy from 35% to mid-60% and realized rents. The appraisal was conducted by a third party based on market conditions and property improvements.
Q:How is the $3 million earnest money deposit from the Aubrey property accounted for?
A:The deposit has not been recognized as income yet due to a dispute. The company expects to resolve the issue and realize the deposit as income in the next quarter.
Q:What caused the increase in NPAs in the SBL book?
A:The increase was minimal and attributed to one significant case. The company is not seeing a deterioration in the portfolio and believes the SBA program provides backstops. The focus remains on reducing substandard loans in the REBL portfolio.
Q:How much capacity do you have for new partners or programs?
A:The company has built an ecosystem capable of handling 5x the current volume. They have been preparing for this growth since 2018, focusing on infrastructure and tech stack improvements. The addition of major partners like Block positions them well for future opportunities.
Q:Review of Unclear Management Responses
A:Management avoided providing a direct answer on the timeline and specifics of resolving the $3 million earnest money deposit dispute, stating only that they hope to resolve it in the next quarter.
