GOLDEN, Colo., March 30, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- SHF Holdings, Inc., d/b/a/ Safe Harbor Financial (“Safe Harbor” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: SHFS), a leader in facilitating banking, payments, and financial services to the regulated cannabis industry, today announced certain preliminary (unaudited) financial results for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2022. All financial information is provided in U.S. dollars unless otherwise indicated and is prepared under U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”).

Full Year 2022 Financial Highlights1

  • Revenue increased 34% to $9.4 million, compared to $7.0 million in 2021
  • Increased the number of active accounts by 82% to 1040, compared to 572 at the end of 2021
  • The Company originated $15.8 million in loans, compared to $4.3 million in 2021
  • Ended 2022 with $8.4 million in cash

“Safe Harbor had a pivotal year: we completed our go-public transaction to list on the Nasdaq exchange, executed on the strategic acquisition of Abaca, and significantly grew our client base to establish a solid foundation for success in 2023 and beyond,” said Sundie Seefried, Chief Executive Officer at Safe Harbor. “During the year, we expanded topline revenue by 34% and increased our client base by approximately 82%, demonstrating the considerable industry need for the services we provide. We are committed to providing essential banking services to cannabis-related businesses, or CRBs, using the most sophisticated fintech to optimize our customers’ experience. Our recent acquisition of Abaca is perfectly aligned with this goal as it meaningfully enhanced and added key elements to our fintech platform to expedite transactions with our banking partners.

“This momentum has continued in 2023, and we are pleased to have reached an agreement with Partner Colorado Credit Union to resolve our payment obligations to them, which removes a considerable financial constraint and further enhances our ability to execute on our growth strategy. The cannabis industry is maturing, and the fully complaint cannabis banking infrastructure we provide is vital to CRBs as they navigate this complex and dynamic industry. We are excited about the opportunities ahead and look forward to continuing to expand our services to meet the needs of CRBs across the country, while enhancing value for our shareholders.”

2022 Operational Highlights

  • On September 29, 2022, Safe Harbor completed its business combination transaction with Northern Lights Acquisition Corp. (the “Business Combination”) and began trading on the Nasdaq Capital Markets.
  • On November 16, 2022, the Company acquired Abaca, an industry-leading cannabis fintech platform, for $30 million in cash and common stock. The acquisition increased Safe Harbor’s lending capacity; and added a sophisticated fintech platform and more than 300 cannabis-related business accounts.

Subsequent Operational Highlights

  • On February 8, 2023, Safe Harbor announced that Karl A. Racine commenced active participation on the Company’s Board of Directors following his January 2023 departure from the Washington, D.C. Attorney General’s office.
  • On March 30, 2023, the Company entered into agreements with Partner Colorado Credit Union (“PCCU”), the Company’s largest stockholder, resulting in the settlement of the approximately $64.7 million deferred payable owed to PCCU (the “Agreement”). Under the terms of the Agreement, the Company has agreed to resolve approximately $64.7 million of total payment obligations owed from the September 28, 2022 business combination in exchange for a 5-year, $14.5 million senior secured note bearing a 4.25% annual interest rate and issuance of 11.2 million shares of Class A common stock in the Company.

Originations and Loan Activity

  • For the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2022, Safe Harbor originated loans totaling $15.8 million, compared to $4.3 million for the 2021 full year.

Fourth Quarter 2022 Financial Results

For the quarter ended December 31, 2022, total revenue increased to $3.6 million, compared to $1.7 million in the prior year period, primarily due to higher investment and loan interest income.

Fourth quarter 2022 operating expense increased to $7.4 million, compared to $1.0 million in the prior year period, primarily driven by significantly higher compensation and employee expenses, professional service expenses, and amortization expense.

Net loss for the quarter ended December 31, 2022 was $37.0 million, compared to net income of $718,000 million in the prior year period, primarily due to the loss in value of several of the financial instruments placed in connection with the Business Combination.

Full Year 2022 Financial Results1

For the year ended December 31, 2022, total revenue increased 34% to $9.4 million, compared to $7.0 million in 2021. The increase is due to higher investment and loan interest income, partially offset by lower Safe Harbor program and miscellaneous fee income.

For the full year ended December 31, 2022, total operating expense increased to $11.6 million compared to $3.7 million in 2021, due to the same drivers of expense in the fourth quarter of 2022.

Net loss for the year ended December 31, 2022 was $35.1 million, compared to net income of $3.2 million in 2021, primarily due to the loss in value of several of the financial instruments placed in connection with the Business Combination.

As at December 31, 2022, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $8.4 million, compared to $5.5 million at December 31, 2021.
