| Statement |
|---|
| This year's tax season has performed above our initial expectations through the end of March and we're pleased with the results |
| Continued expansion in Pathward's net interest margin enabled net interest income to grow 21% year-over-year |
| We've taken advantage of the recent attention focus on our industry to assess our strengths, focus on the potential for new opportunities and more about these in a few minutes, and better communicate to you and others, why Pathward is uniquely positioned for a strong and stable future |
| The second quarter's results were driven by the expansion of the net interest margin and increases in noninterest income, generating 11% GAAP net income growth and 16% adjusted net income growth |
| And more importantly, why we think that differentiation matters and how it offers our investors and customers a better value proposition |
| We are extremely pleased with Pathward's recognition as a Great Place To Work |
| We remain dedicated to Pathward's culture and improving our employees' work experience |
| Finally, some news of which we are particularly proud |
| And three, we believe it offers valuable and meaningful career opportunities for our employees |
| Sitting at this intersection gives Pathward and you our investors multiple advantages and opportunities |
| First off, provides us with strength, provides us with stability and it provides us with the ability to produce stronger capital returns |
| It also gives us the ability to innovate and disrupt creating more opportunities for growth |
| We remain confident in our collateral management and the quality of our portfolio |
| We expect our net interest margin to continue to expand through the ongoing remix of our balance sheet and the repricing of our earning assets in today's higher rate environment |
| The ability to deliver a diversified revenue base that provides recurring stable fee income and a high net interest margin |
| In addition to creating a strong deposit base, these businesses have the added benefit of generating recurring non-interest or fee income |
| As Brett mentioned, we are pleased with the performance year-to-date |
| We and others see the benefit of our strength as a stable established partner |
| Our balance sheet is strong and the company holds $2 billion in deposits off balance sheet |
| Pathward continues to be in a strong liquidity position |
| The company remains well capitalized by continuing to return value to shareholders |
| These two business entities form a particularly strong combination |
| The active management of our highly collateralized loan book puts us in a strong position to recover a significant portion, if not all the value of the loan even of a customer defaults |
| On our balance sheet, our deposit base remains strong at $5.9 billion |
| Second, we believe our approach to inclusion generates a unique value for our shareholders |
| Notwithstanding that unique situation, credit quality across the portfolio remains strong |
| If we're in a thriving economy, we expect to see increased originations in the equipment and insurance lines of businesses as our customers grow and expand |
| So we are just now starting to see that and that gives us an opportunity to get a higher yield on the kinds of transactions we're comfortable with |
| From a liquidity perspective, Pathward continues to remain in a robust position |
| We can offer better pricing |

| And therefore have lost access to their original funding source |
| First, during a downturn, some of the additional volumes we underwrite are good credit companies have had a bad moment |
| The unreserved gap that's in the marketplace for both consumers and commercial small business customers is significant |
| As we move through the rest of 2023 and into 2024, we anticipate that our off balance sheet deposit balances and associated revenue seen in the card and deposit fee lines of noninterest income will likely decrease due to the continued rundown of our EIP balances |
| In fiscal year 2019, we incurred a large impairment expense associated with one company with which we had three legacy solar transactions that turned out to be fraudulent |
| The recent financial industry issues have actually produced some new potential for Pathward |
| You've talked about pricing may be being impacted a bit by all the liquidity in the system |
| This may cause peaks and valleys in our short-term net charge-off rates since the default may occur in one quarter and recover in another |
| Should the client default for payment from their customer comes directly to us |
| Why? Three reasons |
| However, as you can see on this slide, our annual net charge-off rates even throughout the global financial crisis are not significantly higher than those of larger banks |
| Total deposits both on and off balance sheet decreased $534 million or 6% from the prior year quarter to $7.9 billion |
| The drivers of this are continued decrease in EIP balances and the volume and timing of tax deposits at quarter end |
| From the end of last quarter, we saw a decrease in total deposits of $152 million or 2%, primarily due to run-off of seasonal gift card balances, partially offset by tax season deposits |
