NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1—DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION:

The Company is a financial holding company that is a leading provider of business and financial solutions to independent business owners (SMBs) and provides SMBs with the following Newtek® branded business and financial solutions: Newtek Banking, Newtek Alternative Lending, Newtek Payments, Newtek Insurance and Newtek Payroll.

NewtekOne reports on a consolidated basis the financial condition and results of operations for the following consolidated subsidiaries: Newtek Bank; NSBF; NMS (and its subsidiary Mobil Money); NBC; PMT; NIA; TAM; POS; and NALH.

Except as otherwise noted, all financial information included in the tables in the following footnotes is stated in thousands, except per share data.

The accompanying notes to the consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, filed on March 17, 2025 (the “2024 Form 10-K”). The unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and pursuant to the requirements for reporting on Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X and, therefore, do not include all information and footnotes necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP. In the opinion of management, the consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments and reclassifications that are necessary for the fair presentation of financial results as of and for the periods presented. The annualized results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that may be expected for the entire fiscal year. The December 31, 2024 consolidated statement of assets and liabilities has been derived from the audited financial statements as of that date. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of NewtekOne, its subsidiaries and certain VIEs. Significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. The Company consolidates a subsidiary if the Company has a controlling financial interest in the entity as a result of holding a majority of the voting rights. VIEs are consolidated if NewtekOne has the power to direct the activities of the VIE that significantly impact financial performance and has the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits that could potentially be significant to the VIE (i.e., NewtekOne is the primary beneficiary). The determination of whether the Company is the primary beneficiary of a VIE is reassessed on an ongoing basis. Investments in companies which are not VIEs, but in which the Company has more than minor influence over the operating and financial policies, are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. Investments in VIEs where NewtekOne is not the primary beneficiary of a VIE are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. The maximum potential exposure to losses relative to investments in VIEs is generally limited to the investment balance. Refer to NOTE 3—SECURITIZATIONS AND VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES

Reclassifications

Certain items in the prior financial statements have been reclassified to conform to current presentation.

The previous net presentation of cash flows from investing and financing activities within the consolidated statements of cash flows has been revised to reflect a gross presentation of repayments and borrowings, principal received on and repurchases of loans held for investment, purchases and redemptions of Federal Home Loan Bank stock and Federal Reserve Bank stock, contributions and return of capital on joint venture investments, as well as purchases, sales and maturities of available-for-sale securities for all comparative periods.

These reclassifications did not result in any changes to previously reported net income, shareholder’s equity or net cash used in investing or financing activities.

NOTE 2—SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

A more detailed description of our accounting policies is included in the Company’s 2024 Form 10-K, which accounting policies remain significantly unchanged. There have been no other significant changes to our accounting policies, or the estimates made pursuant to those policies as described in our 2024 Form 10-K.

Cash and due from banks

The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with maturities of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. Invested cash is held exclusively at financial institutions of high credit quality. As of September 30, 2025, cash deposits in excess of insured amounts totaled $ 29.0 million. The Company has not experienced any losses with respect to cash balances in excess of insured amounts and management does not believe there was a significant concentration of risk with respect to cash balances as of September 30, 2025.

Restricted cash

Restricted cash includes amounts due on SBA loan-related remittances to third parties, cash reserves established as part of agreements with the SBA, cash reserves associated with consolidated securitization transactions, and cash margin as collateral for derivative instruments.

Interest bearing deposits in banks

The Company’s interest bearing deposits in banks reflects cash held at other financial institutions that earn interest.

The following table provides a reconciliation of cash, restricted cash, and interest bearing deposits in banks as of September 30, 2025 and 2024 and December 31, 2024:

Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets

For a transfer of financial assets to be considered a sale, the transfer must meet the sale criteria of ASC 860, which, at the time of the transfer, requires that the transferred assets qualify as recognized financial assets and the Company surrender control over the assets. Such surrender requires that the assets be isolated from the Company, even in bankruptcy or other receivership, the purchaser have the right to pledge or sell the assets transferred and the Company not have an option or obligation to reacquire the assets.

Assets related to transactions that do not meet ASC Topic 860 — Transfers and Servicing (“ASC Topic 860”) requirements for accounting sale treatment are reflected in the Company’s consolidated statements of financial condition as investments and the sale proceeds are recognized as a liability.

F-19

Table of Contents

The Company accounts for servicing assets in accordance with ASC Topic 860-50 - Transfers and Servicing - Servicing Assets and Liabilities. The Company and Newtek Bank earn servicing fees from the guaranteed portions of SBA 7(a) loans they originate and sell. The Company has also recorded servicing assets/liabilities on loans sold where the Company retained an obligation to service the loan sold. Servicing assets for loans originated by the Company’s nonbank subsidiaries are measured at FV at each reporting date and the Company reports changes in the FV of servicing assets in earnings in the period in which the changes occur. The valuation model for servicing assets incorporates assumptions including, but not limited to, servicing costs, discount rate, prepayment rate, and default rate. Considerable judgment is required to estimate the fair value of servicing assets and as such these assets are classified as Level 3 in our fair value hierarchy. Servicing assets for loans originated by Newtek Bank are initially measured at FV and subsequently measured at LCM and amortized based on their estimated life and impairment is recorded to the extent the amortized cost exceeds the asset’s FV.

Variable Interest Entities

A variable interest entity (“VIE”) is an entity in which equity investors lack the characteristics of a controlling financial interest, do not have sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support, or substantially all of the activities of the entity are conducted on behalf of an investor with disproportionally few voting rights. VIEs are consolidated by the primary beneficiary, which is the party who has the power to direct the activities of a VIE that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance and who has an obligation to absorb losses of the VIE or a right to receive benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. The Company determines whether it is the primary beneficiary of a VIE upon initial involvement with a VIE and reassesses whether it is the primary beneficiary of a VIE on an ongoing basis. The determination of whether an entity is a VIE and whether the Company is the primary beneficiary of a VIE is based upon the facts and circumstances for the VIE and requires significant judgments such as whether the Company’s interest in a VIE is a variable interest, whether the Company controls the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the VIE, and whether the Company has the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits of the VIE that could be significant to the VIE. A VIE is consolidated if management determines the Company, is the primary beneficiary.

Allowance for Credit Losses – Loans

Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“CECL”) approach requires an estimate of the credit losses expected over the life of a loan (or pool of loans). The allowance for credit losses is a valuation account that is deducted from the loans’ amortized cost basis to present the net, lifetime amount expected to be collected on the loans. Loan losses are charged off against the allowance when management believes a loan balance is uncollectible. Expected recoveries do not exceed the aggregate of amounts previously charged-off and expected to be charged-off.

The allowance is comprised of reserves measured on a collective (pool) basis based on a lifetime loss-rate model when similar risk characteristics exist. Loans that do not share risk characteristics are evaluated on an individual basis, which generally includes larger non-accruing commercial loans.

The discounted cash flow (“DCF”) method is used to estimate expected credit losses for all loan portfolio segments measured on a collective (pool) basis. For each loan segment, cash flow projections are generated at the instrument level wherein payment expectations are adjusted for estimated prepayment speeds, probability of default, and loss given default. The modeling of prepayment speeds is based on a combination of historical internal data and peer data.

Regression analysis of historical internal and peer data is used to determine suitable loss drivers to utilize when modeling lifetime probability of default. This analysis also determines how expected probability of default and loss given default will react to forecasted levels of the loss drivers. For all loan pools utilizing the DCF method, management utilizes various economic indicators such as changes in unemployment rates, gross domestic product, real estate values, and other relevant factors as loss drivers. For all DCF models, management has determined that due to historic volatility in economic data, four quarters currently represents a reasonable and supportable forecast period, followed by a four-quarter reversion to historical mean levels for each of the various economic indicators.

The combination of adjustments for credit expectations (default and loss) and timing expectations (prepayment, curtailment, and time to recovery) produces an expected cash flow stream at the instrument level. Specific instrument effective yields are calculated, net of the impacts of prepayment assumptions, and the instrument expected cash flows are then discounted at that effective yield to produce an instrument-level Net Present Value (“NPV”). An allowance is established for the difference between the instrument’s NPV and amortized cost basis.

Table of Contents

The allowance evaluation also considers various qualitative factors, such as: (i) changes to lending policies, underwriting standards and/or management personnel performing such functions, (ii) delinquency and other credit quality trends, (iii) credit risk concentrations, if any, (iv) changes to the nature of the Company's business impacting the loan portfolio, and (v) other external factors, that may include, but are not limited to, results of internal loan reviews, stress testing, examinations by bank regulatory agencies, or other events such as a natural disaster. Significant management judgment is required at each point in the measurement process.

Arriving at an appropriate level of allowance involves a high degree of judgment. The determination of the adequacy of the allowance and provisioning for estimated losses is evaluated regularly based on review of loans, with particular emphasis on non-performing and other loans that management believes warrant special consideration. While management uses available information to recognize losses on loans, changing economic conditions and the economic prospects of the borrowers may necessitate future additions or reductions to the allowance. Management estimates the allowance balance using relevant available information, from internal and external sources, related to past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. The Company’s historical credit loss experience provides the basis for the estimation of expected credit losses, supplemented with peer loss information, and results in expected probabilities of default and expected losses given default. Adjustments to historical loss information are made for differences in current loan-specific risk characteristics such as differences in underwriting standards, portfolio mix, delinquency level, or term as well as changes in environmental conditions, such as changes in unemployment rates, production metrics, property values, or other relevant factors.

Expected losses are applied to loans grouped in portfolio segments, which are pools of loans aggregated based on type of borrower and collateral, generally based upon federal call report segmentation. Portfolio segments have been combined or sub-segmented as needed to ensure loans of similar risk profiles are appropriately pooled. These portfolio segments are as follows:

CRE: The CRE portfolio is comprised of loans to borrowers on small offices, owner-occupied commercial buildings, industrial/warehouse properties, income producing/investor real estate properties, and multi-family loans secured by first mortgages. The Company’s underwriting standards generally target a loan-to-value ratio of 75 %, depending on the type of collateral, and requires debt service coverage of a minimum of 1.2 times.

C&I: The C&I portfolio consists of loans made for general business purposes consisting of short-term working capital loans, equipment loans and unsecured business lines.

SBA 7(a): The SBA 7(a) portfolio includes loans originated under the federal Section 7(a) loan program (the “SBA 7(a) Program”), i.e., SBA 7(a) loans. The SBA is an independent government agency that facilitates one of the nation’s largest sources of SMB financing by providing credit guarantees for its loan programs. SBA 7(a) loans are partially guaranteed by the SBA, with SBA guarantees typically ranging between 50% and 90% of the principal and interest due. Under the SBA’s 7(a) Program, a bank or other lender licensed by the SBA may underwrite loans between $5.0 thousand and $5.0 million for a variety of general business purposes based on the SBA’s loan program requirements. The Company applies the zero loss expectation exemption under CECL to the guaranteed portion of the loans. The unguaranteed portion of the loans that are held on balance sheet at amortized cost are subject to an ACL. In the context of CECL, these SBA 7(a) loans are held at Newtek Bank.

Individually Evaluated Loans. Loans that do not share risk characteristics with existing pools are evaluated on an individual basis. Management defines these loans as nonaccrual loans with exposure above $100 thousand. In the first quarter of 2025, management began evaluating the remaining PCD loans individually, regardless of accrual status. For loans that are individually evaluated and collateral dependent, financial loans where management has determined that foreclosure of the collateral is probable, or where the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty and management expects repayment of the financial asset to be provided substantially through the sale of the collateral, the ACL is measured based on the difference between the fair value of the collateral and the amortized cost basis of the asset as of the measurement date. When repayment is expected to be from the operation of the collateral or going concern, the specific credit loss reserve is calculated as the amount by which the amortized cost basis of the financial asset exceeds the NPV from the operation of the collateral. When repayment is expected to be from the sale of the collateral, the specific credit loss reserve is calculated as the amount by which the amortized costs basis of the financial asset exceeds the fair value of the underlying collateral less estimated cost to sell. The allowance may be zero if the fair value of the collateral at the measurement date exceeds the amortized cost basis of the financial asset.

Accrued Interest. Upon the Acquisition and adoption of CECL, the Company made the following elections regarding accrued interest receivable: (1) presented accrued interest receivable balances separately within other assets balance sheet line item; (2) excluded interest receivable that is included in amortized cost of financing receivables from related disclosures requirements and (3) continued our policy to write off accrued interest receivable by reversing interest income. For loans, write off typically occurs upon becoming over 90 to 120 days past due. Generally, accrued interest is reversed when a loan is placed on non-accrual or is written-off. Current year accrued interest is reversed through interest income while accrued interest from prior years is written-off through the ACL. Historically, the Company has not experienced uncollectible accrued interest receivable on investment securities.

Allowance for off-balance sheet credit exposures. The exposure is a component of other liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet and represents the estimate for probable credit losses inherent in unfunded commitments to extend credit. Unfunded commitments to extend credit include unused portions of lines of credit and standby and commercial letters of credit. The process used to determine the allowance for these exposures is consistent with the process for determining the allowance for loans, as adjusted for estimated funding probabilities or loan equivalency factors. A charge (credit) to provision for credit losses on the consolidated statements of income is made to account for the change in the allowance on off-balance sheet exposures between reporting periods.

Allowance for Credit Losses – Available-fo r Sale (“AFS”) Debt Securities

The impairment model for AFS debt securities differs from the CECL approach utilized for financial instruments measured at amortized cost because AFS debt securities are measured at fair value. For AFS debt securities in an unrealized loss position, Newtek Bank first assesses whether it intends to sell, or it is more likely than not that it will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis. If either of the criteria regarding intent or requirement to sell is met, the security’s amortized cost basis is written down to fair value through income. For debt securities AFS that do not meet the aforementioned criteria, in making this assessment, management considers the extent to which fair value is less than amortized cost, any changes to the rating of the security by a rating agency, adverse conditions specifically related to the security, failure of the issuer of the debt security to make scheduled interest or principal payments, among other factors. If this assessment indicates that a credit loss exists, the present value of cash flows expected to be collected from the security are compared to the amortized cost basis of the security. The cash flows should be estimated using information relevant to the collectability of the security, including information about past events, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts. If the present value of cash flows expected to be collected is less than the amortized cost basis, a credit loss exists and an allowance for credit losses is recorded for the credit loss, limited by the amount that the fair value is less than the amortized cost basis. Any impairment that has not been recorded through an allowance for credit losses is recognized in other comprehensive income.

Changes in the allowance for credit losses are recorded as provision for (or reversal of) credit loss expense. Losses are charged against the allowance when management believes the AFS security is uncollectible or when either of the criteria regarding intent or requirement to sell is met. As of September 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company det ermined that the unrealized loss positions in the AFS securities were not the result of credit losses, and therefore, an allowance for credit losses was not recorded.

Accrued Interest Receivable

Upon the Acquisition and adoption of CECL, the Company made the following elections regarding accrued interest receivable: (1) presented accrued interest receivable balances separately within other assets balance sheet line item; (2) excluded interest receivable that is included in amortized cost of financing receivables from related disclosures requirements and (3) continued our policy to write-off accrued interest receivable by reversing interest income. For loans, write-off typically occurs upon becoming over 90 to 120 days past due. Historically, the Company has not experienced uncollectible accrued interest receivable on investment securities.

Settlement Receivable

Settlement receivable represents amounts due from third parties for guaranteed portions of SBA 7(a) loans which have been sold at period-end but have not yet settled. The guaranteed portion of SBA 7(a) loan principal balances that have been sold but not yet settled as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 was $ 0.4 million and $ 47.4 million, respectively. The settlement receivable also includes $ 43.0 thousand and $ 5.0 million of premiums, which have been recognized in Net Gains on Sales of Loans as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.

Income Taxes

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are computed based upon the differences between the financial statement and income tax basis of assets and liabilities using the enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which those temporary differences are expected to be realized or settled. If available evidence suggests that it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized, a valuation allowance is required to reduce the deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. See NOTE 17—INCOME TAXES .

Our income tax expense, deferred tax assets and liabilities, and reserves for unrecognized tax benefits reflect management’s best assessment of estimated current and future taxes to be paid. We are subject to income taxes in the United States and its political subdivisions. Significant judgments and estimates are required in determining the consolidated income tax expense.

The Company’s U.S. federal and state income tax returns prior to fiscal year 2021 are generally closed, and management continually evaluates expiring statutes of limitations, audits, proposed settlements, changes in tax law and new authoritative rulings. Interest and penalties assessed by tax jurisdictions for income tax matters are presented as income tax expense on the consolidated statement of income.

NOTE 3—SECURITIZATIONS AND VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES:

In a securitization, the unguaranteed portions of SBA 7(a) loans are transferred to a special purpose vehicle (a “Trust”), which in turn issues notes against the Trust’s assets in private placements. The Trust’s primary source of income for repaying the securitization notes is the cash flows generated from the unguaranteed portion of SBA 7(a) loans owned by the Trust. A Trust is considered to be a VIE.

Assets owned by securitization Trusts, which are VIEs, are included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements when the Company has concluded that it is the primary beneficiary of the Trust. The Company therefore consolidates the entities using the carrying amounts of the Trusts’ assets and liabilities and reflects the assets in Restricted cash and Loans held for investment, at fair value and reflects the associated financing in Borrowings on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. The creditors or other beneficial interest holders of Trusts for which the Company is the primary beneficiary generally have recourse only to the assets and cash flows of the Trust and do not have recourse to the Company.

From 2010 through June 2023, NSBF engaged in thirteen ( 13 ) securitizations of the unguaranteed portions of its SBA 7(a) loans where management determined the Company was the primary beneficiary and thus consolidated the Trusts. Three ( 3 ) of these securitizations remain consolidated as of September 30, 2025. Risks associated with the Company’s involvement with the consolidated Trusts includes potential losses of residual interests in the Trusts.

The following table presents the total assets and total liabilities associated with the Company’s variable interests in consolidated Trusts, as classified in the consolidated statements of financial condition:


	September 30, 2025		December 31, 2024

Restricted cash	$	6,303	$	6,303
Loans held for investment, at fair value	213,814		257,179
Total assets	$	220,117	$	263,482

Borrowings	$	140,596	$	186,635
Total liabilities	$	140,596	$	186,635

Assets owned by securitization Trusts, which are VIEs, are not included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements financial statements when the Company has concluded that it is not the primary beneficiary of the Trust and the transfer of the financial assets meet the sale criteria of ASC 860. As the beneficial interests in these securitizations meet the definition of a debt security, pertain to securitized financial assets and based on other criteria met, it falls under the scope of ASC 325-40. This guidance also permits an entity to elect to account for the beneficial interests under the fair value option. The Company has made the irrevocable decision to measure the beneficial interests using the fair value option under ASC 825 with changes in fair value recognized in earnings each reporting period.

On April 23, 2025, the Company’s subsidiary Newtek ALP Holdings closed a securitization pursuant to which it sold $ 155,930,000 of Class A Notes, $ 23,820,000 of Class B Notes, and $ 4,330,000 of a Class C Note (collectively, the “2025-1 Notes”) issued by NALP Business Loan Trust 2025-1 (the “Securitization Trust”). The 2025-1 Notes were backed by $ 216,564,700 of collateral, consisting of Newtek ALP Holdings originated ALP loans. The Class A Notes received a Morningstar DBRS rating of “A (low) (sf)” and were priced at a yield of 6.338 %; the Class B Notes received a Morningstar DBRS rating of “BBB (sf)” and were priced at a yield of 7.838 %; and the Class C Note received a Morningstar DBRS rating of “BB (sf)” and was priced at a yield of 10.338 %. The 2025-1 Notes had a weighted average yield of 6.62 % and an 85 % advance rate.

The 2025-1 Trust meets the definition of a VIE and the Company holds a variable interest in the 2025-1 Trust, however, the Company is not considered the primary beneficiary of the 2025-1 Trust, because the power over the activities that have the most significant impact on the economic performance of the Securitization Trust is held by a single noteholder who has the ability to remove the Company as decision maker over the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the 2025-1 Trust. Consequently the Company is not required to consolidate the 2025-1 Trust. The Company’s beneficial interest in the 2025-1 Trust is evidenced by sole ownership of the Ownership Certificate and its beneficial interest in the credit risk of the securitized ALP Loans. Newtek ALP Holdings, the sponsor of the Securitization Trust, is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, therefore the Company effectively owns 100% of the equity interest in the 2025-1 Trust.

The Company’s continuing involvement with and exposure to loss from the VIEs includes the carrying value of the retained interest, and obligations under representations and warranties contained in the loan sale agreements. Creditors of the 2025-1 Trust have no recourse to the Company’s assets or general credit. The underlying performance of the ALP loans transferred to the Trust has a direct impact on the fair values and cash flows of the beneficial interests held and the servicing asset recognized.

The Company’s investments in the unconsolidated 2025-1 Trust is accounted for using the fair value option under ASC 825, with changes in fair value recognized in earnings each reporting period, and is classified in Residuals in securitizations, at fair value in the Company’s consolidated statements of financial condition, and consisted of the following:


	September 30, 2025
	Carrying Value				Maximum Exposure to Loss		Total Assets in VIE

The Company’s Investments in Joint Ventures (JV) and Other Non-Control Investments

NCL JV: On May 20, 2019, the Company and its joint venture partner launched NCL JV to provide ALP loans (formerly referred to as non-conforming conventional commercial and industrial term loans) to U.S. middle-market companies and small businesses. NCL JV is a 50 / 50 joint venture between NCL, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, and Conventional Lending TCP Holding, LLC (“TCP”), a wholly-owned, indirect subsidiary of BlackRock TCP Capital Corp. (Nasdaq: TCPC). NCL JV ceased funding new ALP loans during 2020. On January 28, 2022, NCL JV closed a securitization with the sale of $ 56.3 million of Class A Notes, NCL Business Loan Trust 2022-1, Business Loan-Backed Notes, Series 2022-1, secured by a segregated asset pool consisting primarily of NCL JV’s portfolio of ALP loans secured by liens on commercial or residential mortgaged properties, originated by NCL JV and NBL. The Notes were rated “A” (sf) by DBRS Morningstar. The Notes were priced at a yield of 3.209 %. The proceeds of the securitization were used, in part, to repay NCL JV’s credit facility and return capital to the NCL JV partners. On August 25, 2025, the Class A Noteholders were re-paid in full, the assets owned by the NCL Business Loan Trust 2022-1 were distributed to NCL JV and the NCL Business Loan Trust 2022-1 was subsequently terminated. On August 27, 2025, NALH entered into an interest purchase agreement with TCP to acquire TCP’s 50 % ownership interest in NCL JV for $ 15.75 million, resulting in NALH owning 100% of NCL JV. Since the assets acquired did not meet the definition of a business under ASC 805-10-55, the transaction was accounted for as an asset acquisition under ASC 805-50. On September 30, 2025, NALH caused the dissolution of NCL JV.

Intelligent Protection Management Corp.

On January 2, 2025, the Company completed the sale of its wholly owned subsidiary Newtek Technology Solutions, Inc. (“NTS”) to Paltalk, Inc. (subsequently renamed Intelligent Protection Management Corp. (“IPM”)) (Nasdaq: IPM) (the “NTS Sale”). In connection with the NTS Sale , the Company received the Closing Consideration consisting of $ 4.0 million Cash Consideration and 4.0 million shares of IPM Preferred Stock. Upon the occurrence of certain specified transfers of the IPM Preferred Stock, each share of IPM Preferred Stock will automatically convert into one share of common stock of IPM, subject to certain anti-dilution adjustments.

As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, there was none and $ 30.4 thousand of accrued interest receivable on available-for-sale securities, respectively, included in Other assets in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, securities sold or settled were as follows:

Unrealized Losses

The following tables summarize the gross unrealized losses and fair value of debt securities available-for-sale by length of time each major security type has been in a continuous unrealized loss position:


	September 30, 2025
	Less Than 12 Months				12 Months or More				Total
	Fair Value		Unrealized Losses		Fair Value		Unrealized Losses		Number of Holdings	Fair Value		Unrealized Losses

U.S. Treasury notes	$	12,061	$	29	$	—	$	—	2	$	12,061	$	29

Management evaluates debt securities available-for-sale debt to determine whether the unrealized loss is due to credit-related factors or non-credit-related factors. The evaluation considers the extent to which the security’s fair value is less than cost, the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, and intent and ability of the Company to retain its investment in the security for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value. These unrealized losses are primarily the result of non-credit-related volatility in the market and market interest rates. Since none of the unrealized losses relate to marketability of the securities or the issuers' ability to honor redemption obligations and the Company has the intent and ability to hold the securities for a sufficient period of time to recover unrealized losses, none of the losses have been recognized in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income.

Contractual Maturities

The following table summarizes the amortized cost and fair value of debt securities available-for-sale by contractual maturity:

Credit Quality Indicators

The Company uses internal loan reviews to assess the performance of individual loans. In addition, an independent review of the loan portfolio is performed annually by an external firm. The goal of the Company’s annual review of each borrower’s financial performance is to validate the adequacy of the risk grade assigned.

The Company uses a grading system to rank the quality of each loan. The grade is periodically evaluated and adjusted as performance dictates. Loan grades 1 through 4 are passing grades and grade 5 is special mention. Collectively, grades 6 through 7 represent classified loans in Newtek Bank’s portfolio. The following guidelines govern the assignment of these risk grades:

Exceptional (1 Rated): These loans are of the highest quality, with strong, well-documented sources of repayment. These loans will typically have multiple demonstrated sources of repayment with no significant identifiable risk to collection, exhibit well-qualified management, and have liquid financial statements relative to both direct and indirect obligations.

Quality (2 Rated): These loans are of very high credit quality, with strong, well-documented sources of repayment. These loans exhibit very strong, well defined primary and secondary sources of repayment, with no significant identifiable risk of collection and have internally generated cash flow that more than adequately covers current maturities of long-term debt.

Satisfactory (3 Rated): These loans exhibit satisfactory credit risk and have excellent sources of repayment, with no significant identifiable risk of collection. These loans have documented historical cash flow that meets or exceeds required minimum Bank guidelines, or that can be supplemented with verifiable cash flow from other sources. They have adequate secondary sources to liquidate the debt, including combinations of liquidity, liquidation of collateral, or liquidation value to the net worth of the borrower or guarantor.

Acceptable (4 Rated): These loans show signs of weakness in either adequate sources of repayment or collateral but have demonstrated mitigating factors that minimize the risk of delinquency or loss. These loans may have unproved, insufficient or marginal primary sources of repayment that appear sufficient to service the debt at this time. These loans also include loans underwritten using projected and/or proforma financial information provided by the borrower. Repayment weaknesses may be due to minor operational issues, financial trends, or reliance on projected performance. They may also contain marginal or unproven secondary sources to liquidate the debt, including combinations of liquidation of collateral and

liquidation value to the net worth of the borrower or guarantor.

Special mention (5 Rated): These loans show signs of weaknesses in either adequate sources of repayment or collateral. These loans may contain underwriting guideline tolerances and/or exceptions with no mitigating factors; and/or instances where adverse economic conditions develop subsequent to origination that do not jeopardize liquidation of the debt but substantially increase the level of risk.

Substandard (6 Rated): Loans graded Substandard are inadequately protected by current sound net worth, paying capacity of the obligor, or pledged collateral. Loans classified as Substandard must have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt; are characterized by the distinct possibility that the Bank will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. These loans are consistently not meeting the repayment schedule.

Doubtful (7 Rated): Loans graded Doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified as Substandard, plus the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values highly questionable and improbable. The ability of the borrower to service the debt is extremely weak, overdue status is constant, the debt has been placed on non-accrual status, and no definite repayment schedule exists. Once the loss position is determined, the amount is charged off.

Loss (8 Rated): Loss rated loans are considered uncollectible and of such little value that their continuance as assets is not warranted. This classification does not mean that the asset has absolutely no recovery or salvage value, but rather that it is not practical or desirable to defer writing off this credit even though partial recovery may be affected in the future.

Loan Modifications Made to Borrowers Experiencing Financial Difficulty

During the three months ended September 30, 2025, the Company executed one loan modification involving a borrower experiencing financial difficulty, with an amortized cost basis of $ 0.25 million. The modification resulted in an other-than-insignificant delay in payments; however, the Company expects to receive all contractual principal and interest. The terms of the modification did not include principal forgiveness, term extension, or interest rate reductions.

No other loan modifications to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty were executed during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024.

NOTE 7—SERVICING ASSETS:

Servicing assets held by NSBF are measured at fair value and the Company performs valuations on a quarterly basis. Servicing assets held by Newtek Bank, including Newtek Bank’s subsidiary SBL, are measured at lower of cost or market where the assets are initially recorded at fair value, then subsequently amortized, and assessed for impairment each reporting period.

The Company earns servicing fees from the guaranteed portions of SBA 7(a) loans it originates and sells, for the unguaranteed portions of SBA 7(a) loans in the NSBF sponsored securitizations, and for the portfolios of ALP loans SBL services for the NCL JV (dissolved in September 2025), TSO JV sponsored securitization and Newtek ALP Holdings and its sponsored securitization.

Core Deposits Intangible. CDI is a measure of the value of non-interest-bearing and interest-bearing checking accounts, savings accounts, and money market accounts that are acquired in a business combination. The fair value of the CDI stemming from any given business combination is based on the present value of the expected cost savings attributable to the core deposit funding, relative to an alternative source of funding. The CDI relating to the NBNYC Acquisition will be amortized over an estimated useful life of 10 years using the sum of years digits depreciation method. The Company evaluates such identifiable intangibles for impairment when an indication of impairment exists.

Amortization expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 is as follows, and is included in Depreciation and amortization on the Consolidated Statements of Income:

On September 26, 2025, NMS and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Mobil Money, LLC (collectively, the “Borrowers”), together with NBSH Holdings, LLC, the direct sole member of NMS, as guarantor, entered into a Credit and Guaranty Agreement (the “Goldman Credit Agreement”), with Private Credit at Goldman Sachs Alternatives ("Goldman") as Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent thereunder and the lenders party thereto from time to time (the “Lenders”). Pursuant to the terms of the Goldman Credit Agreement, the Lenders made available to the Borrowers term loans up to an aggregate principal amount of $ 90.0 million (the “Term Loans”) and a revolving facility up to an aggregate principal amount of $ 5.0 million (together with the Term Loans, collectively the “Goldman Facility”). The Goldman Facility will mature on September 26, 2030. The Company incurred approximately $ 1.4 million of deferred financing costs in connection with the Goldman Facility.

On September 26, 2025, the Borrowers drew down the full $ 90.0 million in Term Loans and used the proceeds to repay in full the outstanding amounts under the Webster Facility and pay transaction expenses related to the closing of the Goldman Facility. In addition, the Borrowers used the proceeds to fund $ 58.5 million of loans to the Company. The Company intends to use the proceeds of such loans to repay and reduce the Company’s outstanding unsecured debt, repurchase Company common shares (subject to market conditions and the terms of existing or any future share repurchase authorizations by the Company’s board of directors) and for other general corporate purposes.

Pursuant to the terms of the guaranty under the Goldman Credit Agreement, NBSH has unconditionally guaranteed the prompt and unconditional payment of all of the Borrowers’ obligations under the Goldman Credit Agreement.

Collateral posted with our futures counterparty is segregated in the Company’s books and records. Historically, the Company’s counterparty has held cash margin as collateral for derivatives, which is included in restricted cash in the consolidated balance sheets. Interest rate futures are centrally cleared by the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (“CME”) through a futures commission merchant. The Company is required to post initial margin and daily variation margin for interest rate futures that are centrally cleared by CME. CME determines the fair value of our centrally cleared futures, including daily variation margin. Variation margin pledged on the Company’s centrally cleared interest rate futures is settled against the realized results of these futures.

Legal Matters

The Company and its subsidiaries are routinely subject to actual or threatened legal proceedings, including litigation and regulatory matters, arising in the ordinary course of business. Litigation matters range from individual actions involving a single plaintiff to class action lawsuits and can involve claims for substantial or indeterminate alleged damages or for injunctive or other relief. Regulatory investigations and enforcement matters may involve formal or informal proceedings and other inquiries initiated by various governmental agencies, law enforcement authorities, and self-regulatory organizations, and can result in fines, penalties, restitution, changes to the Company’s business practices, and other related costs, including reputational damage. At any given time, these legal proceedings are at varying stages of adjudication, arbitration, or investigation, and may relate to a variety of topics.

Assessment of exposure that could result from legal proceedings is complex because these proceedings often involve inherently unpredictable factors, including, but not limited to, the following: whether the proceeding is in early stages; whether damages or the amount of potential fines, penalties, and restitution are unspecified, unsupported, or uncertain; whether there is a potential for punitive or other pecuniary damages; whether the matter involves legal uncertainties, including novel issues of law; whether the matter involves multiple parties and/or jurisdictions; whether discovery or other investigation has begun or is not complete; whether material facts may be disputed or unsubstantiated; whether meaningful settlement discussions have commenced; and whether the matter involves class allegations. As a result of these complexities, the Company may be unable to develop an estimate or range of loss.

The Company evaluates legal proceedings based on information currently available, including advice of counsel. The Company establishes accruals for those matters, pursuant to ASC 450, when a loss is considered probable and the related amount is reasonably estimable. While the final outcomes of legal proceedings are inherently unpredictable, management is currently of the opinion that the outcomes of pending and threatened matters will not have a material effect on the Company’s business, consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows as a whole.

As available information changes, the matters for which the Company is able to estimate, as well as the estimates themselves, will be adjusted accordingly. The Company’s estimates are subject to significant judgment and uncertainties, and the matters underlying the estimates will change from time to time. In the event of unexpected future developments, it is possible that an adverse outcome in any such matter could be material to the Company’s business, consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows as a whole for any particular reporting period of occurrence.

In addition. as a result of a litigation brought by the Federal Trade Commission (the “FTC”) in October 2012, NMS voluntarily entered into, and continues to operate under, a permanent injunction with respect to certain of its business practices.

Unfunded Commitments

At September 30, 2025, the Company had $ 106.4 million of unfunded commitments consisting of $ 29.1 million in connection with its SBA 7(a) loans, $ 69.8 million in connection with its SBA 504 loans, and $ 7.5 million relating to commercial and industrial loans. The Company funds these commitments from the same sources it uses to fund its other loan commitments.

Preferred Stock

Series A Preferred Stock

On February 3, 2023, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”) with Patriot Financial Partners IV, L.P., and Patriot Financial Partners Parallel IV, L.P. (collectively, “Patriot”) in respect of 20 thousand shares of the Company’s Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $ 0.02 per share (the “Series A Preferred Stock”), in a private placement transaction. The aggregate purchase price was $ 20.0 million. Each share of Series A Preferred Stock was issued at a price of $ 1.0 thousand per share and was convertible at Patriot’s option into 47.54 shares of the Company’s Common Stock. The Company had not issued preferred stock prior to February 3, 2023.

On September 16, 2025, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase and Exchange Agreement (the “Purchase and Exchange Agreement”) with Patriot, pursuant to which Patriot exchanged (i) the 20 thousand outstanding shares of the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock originally issued to Patriot for an aggregate purchase price of $ 20.0 million and (ii) $ 10 million in cash, for 2,307,692 shares of the Company’s Common Stock (the “Shares”). Patriot is subject to restrictions on transferring the Shares for two years following the date of the Purchase and Exchange Agreement without the Company’s consent, subject to certain customary exceptions.

Series B Preferred Stock

On August 20, 2025, the Company closed an offering of 2,000,000 depository shares (the “Depository Shares”), each representing a 1/40th interest in a share of the Company’s 8.500 % Fixed-Rate Reset Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series B (the “Series B Preferred Stock”), with a liquidation preference of $ 1,000 per share (equivalent to $ 25.00 per Depositary Share). The offering generated approximately $ 48.357 million in net proceeds to the Company. The newly issued Series B Preferred Stock will pay (and the holders of the Depository Shares will correspondingly receive) a non-cumulative 8.500 % per annum cash dividend (payable quarterly when, as and if declared by the Company’s Board, on January 1, April 1, July 1 and October 1 of each year, beginning on October 1, 2025) through October 1, 2030, at which time the dividend rate will reset based on the five-year US treasury rate on the relevant determination date plus a fixed spread and thereafter will reset on the fifth anniversary of the preceding reset date, with the dividend rate determined in the same manner. The Depository Shares are listed on the Nasdaq Global Market ® under the ticker symbol “NEWTP.” The Company has not subsequently issued any preferred stock.

Warrants for Common Stock

On February 3, 2023, pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company issued warrants to Patriot to purchase, in the aggregate, 47.54 thousand shares of Common Stock for $ 21.03 per share. The Warrants are exercisable in whole or in part until the ten year anniversary of the entry into the Securities Purchase Agreement and may be exercised for cash or on a “net share” basis, with the number of shares withheld determined based on the closing price of the Common Stock on the date of such exercise. Warrants are included in Accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition.

NOTE 15—EARNINGS PER SHARE:

Basic and diluted earnings per share are computed based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during each period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur upon the exercise of stock options, to the extent outstanding, or upon the vesting of restricted stock grants, any of which would result in the issuance of Common Stock that would then share in the net income of the Company.


	Three Months Ended September 30,				Nine Months Ended September 30,

1 For periods presented other than the three months ended September 30, 2024, the Series A convertible preferred stock was anti-dilutive and, therefore, the preferred dividends have not been added back to the numerator of Net income, for diluted earnings per share.

2 Incremental diluted shares from restricted stock awards under the treasury stock method.

3 Incremental diluted shares from Series A convertible preferred stock under the treasury stock method. The dilutive effect on common shares under the if-converted method of the Series A convertible preferred stock have been added back to the denominator in calculating diluted earnings per share for the three months ended September 30, 2024.

4 For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and September 30, 2024, the warrants were not included in the diluted share count because the results would have been anti-dilutive under the if-converted method.

NOTE 16—BENEFIT PLANS:

Defined Contribution Plan

The Company’s employees participate in a defined contribution 401(k) plan (the “Plan”) adopted in 2004 which covers substantially all employees based on eligibility. The Plan is designed to encourage savings on the part of eligible employees and qualifies under Section 401(k) of the Code. Under the Plan, eligible employees may elect to have a portion of their pay, including overtime and bonuses, reduced each pay period, as pre-tax contributions up to the maximum allowed by law. The Company may elect to make a matching contribution equal to a specified percentage of the participant’s contribution, on their behalf as a pre-tax contribution.

Stock-based Compensation Plans

Restricted Stock Awards

The Company accounts for its stock-based compensation plan using the fair value method, as prescribed by ASC 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation. Accordingly, for restricted stock awards, the Company measures the grant date fair value based upon the market price of its Common Stock on the date of the grant and amortizes the fair value of the awards as stock-based compensation expense over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting term.

The Compensation, Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee of the Board approves the issuance of awards of restricted stock to employees and directors pursuant to the 2023 Stock Incentive Plan, which was approved by the Board in April 2023 and the Company’s shareholders on June 14, 2023. No new awards may be granted under the 2015 Stock Incentive Plan, which was terminated by the Board in April 2023. The following table summarizes the restricted stock issuances under the 2015 and 2023 Stock Incentive Plans, net of shares forfeited, if any:


	2023 Plan 1	2015 Plan

Total net restricted stock (granted)/forfeited	( 546 )	( 661 )

1 The 2023 Stock Incentive Plan provides for an initial share reserve of up to 3.0 million shares of Common Stock.

2 No stock options were granted under the 2015 or 2023 Stock Incentive Plans.

Awards of restricted stock granted under the 2015 and 2023 Stock Incentive Plans generally vest over a one - to three-year periods from the grant date; awards of restricted stock granted under the 2023 Stock Incentive Plan to non-employee directors generally vest over a one -year period. The grant date fair value is expensed over the service period, starting on the grant date.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP)

On June 14, 2023, the Company's stockholders approved the ESPP. The initial aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that may be purchased under the ESPP will not exceed 0.2 million shares. Under the terms of the ESPP, employees may authorize the withholding of up to 15 % of their eligible compensation to purchase our shares of Common Stock, not to exceed $ 25 thousand of Common Stock for any calendar year. The purchase price per shares acquired under the ESPP will never be less than 85 % of the fair market value of the lesser of our Common Stock on the offering date or purchase date. The Compensation, Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee of our Board, in its discretion, may terminate the ESPP at any time with respect to any shares for which options have not been granted and has the right to amend the ESPP with stockholder approval within 12 months before or after the adoption of the amendment. The difference between the Common Stock’s fair value and the employee’s discounted purchase price is expensed at the time of purchase.

NOTE 18—SEGMENTS:

The Company's management reporting process measures the performance of its operating segments based on internal operating structure, which is subject to change from time to time. The Company's segment reporting process begins with the assignment of all loans directly to the segments where these products are originated and/or serviced. All deposit accounts are allocated to the Banking segment as our wholly owned FDIC insured depository is included within the Banking segment. Equity capital is assigned to each segment based on the risk profile of their assets and liabilities. With the exception of goodwill, which is assigned a 100 % weighting, equity capital allocations ranged from 0 % to 25 % during the year. Any excess or deficient equity not allocated to segments based on risk is assigned to the Corporate & Other segment.

Net interest income, provision for credit losses, and non-interest expense amounts are recorded in their respective segments to the extent the amounts are directly attributable to those segments. The net income amount for each reportable segment is further derived by the use of expense allocations. Certain expenses not directly attributable to a specific segment are allocated across all segments based on key metrics, such as number of employees. These types of expenses include information technology, operations, human resources, finance, risk management, credit administration, legal, and marketing.

The assignment and allocation methodologies used in the segment reporting process discussed above change from time to time as systems are enhanced, methods for evaluating segment performance or product lines change or as business segments are realigned.

The Company operates four reportable segments for management reporting purposes with their operating and financial results reviewed by the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), which is the Chief Executive Officer of the Company. The CODM assesses overall segment performance based on pre-tax income and uses this metric to allocate resources for each segment, focusing on budgeting and forecasting. The Company has four segments, as discussed below:

Banking

Newtek Bank originates, services and sells SBA 7(a) loans in a similar manner to NSBF’s historic business model (see Non-Bank Lending below) and originates and services SBA 504 loans, C&I loans, CRE loans and ABL loans. In addition, Newtek Bank offers depository services.

Alternative Lending

Alternative Lending includes NALH (Newtek ALP Holdings) and its subsidiaries. The Company has originated loans under its Alternative Lending Program (ALP) since 2019. Prior to July 1, 2024, the Company originated ALP loans with the intent to sell to a JV. While the Company may continue to source JV partners to participate in the ALP, the Company’s subsidiary Newtek ALP Holdings (NALH) currently originates ALP loans designated as HFI. The Company does not expect any significant changes to the underwriting or terms of loans in its ALP.

NSBF

NSBF relates to NSBF’s legacy portfolio of SBA 7(a) loans held outside Newtek Bank; no new loan origination activity takes place. A material portion of NSBF’s legacy portfolio of SBA 7(a) loans reside in three securitization trusts.

Payments

Payments includes NMS, POS and Mobil Money. NMS markets credit and debit card processing services, check approval services, processing equipment, and software and:

– Assist merchants with initial installation of equipment and on-going service, as well as any other special processing needs that they may have.

– Handles payment processing for Mobil Money’s merchant portfolio of taxi cabs and related licensed payment processing software.

– POS is a provider of a cloud based Point of Sale (POS) system for a variety of restaurant, retail, assisted living, parks and golf course businesses, which provides not only payments and purchase technology solutions, but also inventory, customer management, reporting, employee time clock, table and menu layouts, and ecommerce solutions as the central operating system for an SMB.

Technology

NTS provided website hosting, web design and development, dedicated server hosting, cloud hosting, internet marketing, ecommerce, data storage, backup and disaster recovery, and other related services for commercial clients. As a result of commitments made to the Federal Reserve in connection with the Acquisition, the Company divested of NTS on January 2, 2025. As a result of the Company’s completion of the NTS Sale, Technology is no longer be reported as a reportable segment. See NOTE 4—INVESTMENTS: Intelligent Protection Management Corp .

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

Forward-Looking Statements

The matters discussed in this report, as well as in future oral and written statements by Company management that are forward-looking statements, are based on current management expectations that involve substantial risks and uncertainties which could cause actual results to differ materially from the results expressed in, or implied by, these forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are not historical facts, but rather are based on current expectations, estimates and projections about us, our industry, our beliefs, and our assumptions. Words such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “expects,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “could,” “intends,” “target,” “projects,” “contemplates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “predicts,” “potential” or “continue” or the negative of these terms or variations of these words and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Important assumptions include our ability to originate new investments, achieve certain margins and levels of profitability, the availability of additional capital, and the ability to maintain certain debt to asset ratios. In light of these and other uncertainties, including recent economic and market events and unrelated bank failures and declines in depositor confidence in certain types of depository institutions, the inclusion of a projection or forward-looking statement in this report should not be regarded as a representation by us that our plans or objectives will be achieved. The forward-looking statements contained in this report, including the documents we incorporate by reference, involve risks and uncertainties, including statements as to:

• our future operating results;

• our business prospects and the prospects of our subsidiaries;

• our contractual arrangements and relationships with third parties;

• the dependence of our future success on the general economy and its impact on the industries in which we and our borrowers operate;

• the ability of our business to achieve its objectives;

• the impact of a protracted decline in the liquidity of credit markets on our business;

• the adequacy of our cash resources and working capital;

• our ability to operate as a financial holding company and our ability to operate our subsidiary Newtek Bank, a national bank regulated and supervised by the OCC, and the increased compliance and other costs associated with such operations;

• our ability to adequately manage liquidity, deposits, capital levels and interest rate risk;

• the timing of cash flows, if any, from the operations of our subsidiaries;

These statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to risks, uncertainties, and other factors, some of which are beyond our control and difficult to predict and could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or forecasted in any and all of the forward-looking statements, including without limitation:

• an economic downturn, which could impair our subsidiaries’ ability to continue to operate or repay their borrowings, which could adversely affect our results;

• a contraction of available credit and/or an inability to access the equity markets could impair our lending and business activities;

• impacts to financial markets and the global macroeconomic and geopolitical environment, including higher inflation, tariffs and their impacts;

• higher interest rates and the impacts on macroeconomic conditions and our funding costs;

• changes to the SBA 7(a) loan program, including recent revisions to SBA Standard Operating Procedure (“SOP”) as well as the impact of the current Federal government shutdown on the SBA, including the SBA 7(a) Program and SBA 504 program, each of which are currently frozen as a result of the current Federal government shutdown and could materially and adversely affect Newtek Bank’s lending business; and

• the risks, uncertainties and other factors we identify in “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this report and in our filings with the SEC, including the documents we incorporate by reference.

Table of Contents

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and related notes and other financial information appearing elsewhere in this report. In addition to historical information, the following discussion and other parts of this report contain forward-looking information that involves risks and uncertainties. Although we believe that the assumptions on which these forward-looking statements are based are reasonable, any of those assumptions could prove to be inaccurate, and as a result, the forward-looking statements based on those assumptions also could be inaccurate. Important assumptions include the ability of Newtek Bank to originate loans under the SBA 7(a) program, maintain PLP status, sell SBA guaranteed portions of SBA 7(a) loans at premiums and grow deposits; our ability to originate new loans; our subsidiaries’ ability to generate revenue and obtain and maintain certain margins and levels of profitability; and the availability of additional capital. In light of these and other uncertainties, the inclusion of a projection or forward-looking statement in this report, including the documents that we incorporate by reference herein, should not be regarded as a representation by us that our plans and objectives will be achieved. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated by such forward-looking information due to the factors discussed under Part II “Item 1A. Risk Factors” of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q and “Item 1A. Risk Factors” of our 2024 Form 10-K, and in any subsequent filings we have made with the SEC that are incorporated by reference into this report.

You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which apply only as of the date of this report. And while we believe such information forms, or will form, a reasonable basis for such statements, such information may be limited or incomplete, and our statements should not be read to indicate that we have conducted an exhaustive inquiry into, or review of, all potentially available relevant information. These statements are inherently uncertain and investors are cautioned not to unduly rely on these statements. Any forward-looking statements made by or on behalf of the Company speak only as to the date they are made, and the Company does not undertake to update forward-looking statements to reflect the impact of circumstances or events that arise after the date the forward-looking statements were made, except as required by applicable law.

Executive Overview

We are a financial holding company owning Newtek Bank - a branchless OCC nationally chartered bank. In 2023, we converted to a financial holding company from a BDC and a non-bank lender (see below). Our target market is owners and prospective owners of SMBs and our services are offered online and in some cases delivered and fulfilled by our staff via video and voice calls. We offer lending products, FDIC insured deposit products and services, payments processing, payroll services and insurance brokerage services. We source our business through our NewtekOne.com web site, our alliance partner network and our marketing database, which is facilitated through our patented NewTracker® platform. Our loan products include SBA 7(a), ALP, SBA 504, and traditional C&I and CRE bank loans. Our deposit products primarily include consumer high yield savings accounts, high yield certificates of deposit, zero-fee business checking, and business money market accounts. We offer business and financial solutions under the Newtek ® and NewtekOne ® brands to the independent business owner (SMB) market.

Our process to extend credit to borrowers begins with technology, but finishes with credit committee approval. We record CECL reserves on loans held for investment at amortized cost, which for unguaranteed SBA 7(a) loans exceeds 6%. For SBA7(a) loans, we hold the unguaranteed portion and sell portions guaranteed by the SBA, within approximately ninety days of origination (or we may hold guaranteed portions for longer periods), for premiums that have historically exceeded 10%, depending on loan characteristics and market conditions. Unlike traditional financial and bank holding companies, the majority of our income is driven and influenced by noninterest income, specifically gains on sales and market value adjustments on loans. We sell certain loans servicing retained, in which case we record a servicing asset that increases our gain on sale and provides a stream of future income to the extent the loan balance continues to be outstanding.

We fund our activities at Newtek Bank primarily through the aforementioned deposit products. We also offer loans outside of our bank (primarily ALP loans that have been funded by our JVs and our non-bank subsidiary Newtek ALP Holdings) that are initially funded with capital and lines of credit and hedged until a sufficient volume is attained at which time the loans are securitized. We are required by law to hold risk retention in securitization transactions, and the majority of our interests in securitizations are designed to absorb first loss on the loans held in the securitization trusts. Historically, we have participated in joint ventures as additional sources of funding and risk diversification for our ALP loans, and these joint ventures have also securitized their loans. We have also continued to actively issue bonds in the public and private capital markets.

We are subject to the regulation and supervision of the Federal Reserve and the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta. In addition Newtek Bank is regulated by the OCC and we are required to follow SBA rules and guidelines in the origination, servicing and sale of our SBA loans. Complying with this level of regulation requires investments in technology and process and personnel costs.

Conversion to a Financial Holding Company

As of January 6, 2023, we became a financial holding company that, together with our consolidated subsidiaries, provide a wide range of business and financial solutions under the Newtek ® and NewtekOne ® brands to the independent business owner (SMB) market. Effective January 6, 2023, following authorization by our shareholders, we withdrew our previous election to be regulated as a BDC under the 1940 Act. Contemporaneously with withdrawing our election to be regulated as a BDC, on January 6, 2023, we completed the Acquisition of NBNYC, a national bank regulated and supervised by the OCC, pursuant to which we acquired from NBNYC’s shareholders all of the issued and outstanding stock of NBNYC. NBNYC was renamed Newtek Bank and became our wholly owned bank subsidiary. As a result of the Acquisition, we became a financial holding company subject to the regulation and supervision of the Federal Reserve and the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta. We no longer qualified as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code for federal income tax purposes and no longer qualified for accounting treatment as an investment company. As a result, in addition to Newtek Bank and its consolidated subsidiary SBL, the following former portfolio companies and subsidiaries are consolidated non-bank subsidiaries in our financial statements: NSBF; NMS; Mobil Money; NBC; PMT; NIA; TAM; NALH; and POS. In addition, as a result of commitments made to the Federal Reserve, we divested of NTS on January 2, 2025. Refer to NOTE 4—INVESTMENTS: Intelligent Protection Management Corp.

Effective January 13, 2023, we filed Articles of Amendment amending our Charter to change the name of the Company to “NewtekOne, Inc.”

On April 13, 2023, the Company, NSBF and the SBA entered into the Wind-down Agreement, pursuant to which NSBF is winding-down its operations and NSBF’s SBA 7(a) pipeline of new loans was transitioned to Newtek Bank. During this wind-down process, NSBF continues to own the SBA 7(a) loans and PPP Loans currently in its SBA loan portfolio to maturity, liquidation, charge-off or (subject to SBA’s prior written approval) sale or transfer. SBL is servicing and liquidating NSBF’s SBA loan portfolio pursuant to an SBA approved lender service provider agreement. In addition, during the wind-down process, NSBF is subject to minimum capital requirements established by the SBA, required to continue to maintain certain amounts of restricted cash available to meet any obligations to the SBA, has restrictions on its ability to make dividends and distributions to the Company, and remains liable to the SBA for post-purchase denials and repairs on the guaranteed portions of SBA 7(a) loans originated and sold by NSBF, from the proceeds generated by NSBF’s SBA loan portfolio. The Company has guaranteed certain of NSBF’s obligations to the SBA and has funded a $10.0 million account to secure these potential obligations.

Historical Business Regulation and Taxation

Prior to January 6, 2023, we operated as an internally managed non-diversified closed-end management investment company that elected to be regulated as a BDC under the 1940 Act. As a BDC under the 1940 Act we were not permitted to acquire any asset other than assets of the type listed in Section 55(a) of the 1940 Act, which are referred to as qualifying assets, unless, at the time the acquisition is made, qualifying assets represent at least 70% of the company’s total assets, and we were not permitted to issue senior securities unless the ratio of our total assets (less total liabilities other than indebtedness represented by senior securities) to our total indebtedness represented by senior securities plus preferred stock, if any, was at least 150%. As of December 31 2022, our asset coverage was 169%. Although we are no longer regulated as a BDC, certain covenants in our outstanding 2026 Notes require us to maintain an asset coverage of at least 150% as long as the 2026 Notes are outstanding. See 2024 Form 10-K, “ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS – Risks Related to our Outstanding Indebtedness – We are subject to 150% asset coverage requirements due to covenants contained in certain of our outstanding debt.”

Additionally, prior to January 6, 2023, due to our status as a BDC, we elected to be treated as a RIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes, beginning with our 2015 tax year. As an entity electing to be treated as a RIC, we generally did not have to pay U.S. federal income taxes at corporate rates on any ordinary income or capital gains that we distributed to our shareholders as dividends. The Company and its subsidiaries no longer qualify as a RIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes and filed a consolidated U.S. federal income tax return beginning with the 2023 fiscal year. Financial holding companies are subject to federal and state income taxes in essentially the same manner as other corporations. Taxable income is generally calculated under applicable sections of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), including Sections 581 through 597 that apply specifically to financial institutions. Some modifications are required by state law and the 2017 tax legislation commonly referred to as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the "Tax Act"). Among other things, the Tax Act (i) established a new, flat corporate federal statutory income tax rate of 21%, (ii) eliminates the corporate alternative minimum tax and allowed the use of any such carryforwards to offset regular tax liability for any taxable year, (iii) limited the deduction for net interest expense incurred by U.S. corporations, (iv) allowed businesses to immediately expense, for tax purposes, the cost of new investments in certain qualified depreciable assets, (v) eliminated or reduced certain deductions related to meals and entertainment expenses, (vi) modified the limitation on excessive employee remuneration to eliminate the exception for performance-based compensation and clarified the definition of a covered employee and (vii) limited the deductibility of deposit insurance premiums. There can be no assurance as to the actual effective rate because it will be dependent upon the nature and amount of future income and expenses as well as actual investments generating investment tax credits and transactions with discrete tax effects.

From 2012 through December 31, 2022, NSBF was consistently the largest non-bank SBA 7(a) lender in the U.S. based on dollar volume of loan approvals, and, as of December 31, 2022, was the third largest SBA 7(a) lender in the United States. Currently, Newtek Bank is ranked as the second largest SBA 7(a) lender based on dollar volume of loans approved. Historically, NSBF structured its loans so that it could both sell the government guaranteed portions of SBA 7(a) loans and securitize the unguaranteed portions. This structure generally allowed NSBF to recover its capital and earn excess capital on each loan, typically within a year. Pursuant to the Wind-down Agreement described above, in April 2023 NSBF transitioned its SBA 7(a) loan originations to Newtek Bank and is in the process of winding down its operations and will continue to own the 7(a) Loans and PPP Loans in its SBA loan portfolio to maturity, liquidation, charge-off or (subject to SBA’s prior written approval) sale or transfer.

Additionally, we and our subsidiaries provide a wide range of business and financial solutions to independent business owner relationships, including Business Lending, which includes SBA 7(a) loans, SBA 504 loans, ALP loans, C&I loans, CRE loans and ABL loans; Electronic Payment Processing, personal and commercial lines Insurance Services, and Payroll and Benefits Solutions to independent business owner relationships nationwide across all industries. With the divestiture of NTS, we no longer provide Managed Technology Solutions to our clients, however, we are currently referring our clients to IPM for its offering of Managed Technology Solutions and can earn a finder’s fee pursuant to a referral promotion agreement. We support the operations of our subsidiaries by providing access to our proprietary and patented technology platform, including NewTracker ® , our patented prospect management software. We have historically defined independent business owners (SMBs) as companies having revenues of $1 million to $100 million, and we have generally estimated the SMB market to be over 34 million businesses in the United States. We make loans and provide business and financial solutions to the SMB market through our bank and non-bank subsidiaries. In addition, we now offer the Newtek Advantage ® , the One Dashboard for All of Your Business Needs ® , which provides independent business owners with instant access to a team of NewtekOne business and financial solutions experts in the areas of Business Lending, Electronic Payment Processing, personal and commercial lines Insurance Services and Payroll and Benefits Solutions. Moreover, the Newtek Advantage provides our independent business owner clients with analytics on their businesses, as well as transactional capabilities, including free unlimited document storage, free real-time updated traffic analytics, free real-time credit card processing and chargeback batch information for merchant solutions clients and the ability for PMT clients to make payroll directly from the Newtek Advantage business portal.

The Company has originated loans under its ALP since 2019. These loans have terms between 10 and 25 years, bear fixed interest rates that reset every five years, and have prepayment penalties. The criteria evaluated in underwriting ALP loans and the terms of these loans have been generally consistent over the ALP’s existence. Prior to July 1, 2024, the Company originated ALP loans with the intent to sell the loans to a JV. While the Company may continue to source JV partners to participate in the ALP, during the third quarter of 2024, we made the decision to originate with the intent to securitize ALP loans with our subsidiary Newtek ALP Holdings as the originator and sponsor. For example, during the second quarter of 2025, Newtek ALP Holdings closed a securitization backed by $216,564,700 of ALP loans. The Company could also originate ALP loans designated as HFI.

Following the Acquisition, there can be no assurance regarding our continued lending prospects or operations as a financial holding company. See 2024 Form 10-K, “ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS – Risks Related to Operation as a Financial Holding Company – We are subject to extensive regulation and supervision as a financial holding company, which may adversely affect our business.”

Our common shares are currently listed on the Nasdaq Global Market under the symbol “NEWT”.

Newtek Bank is a national bank and nationally licensed SBA lender under the SBA 7(a) Program, and originates, sells and services SBA 7(a) loans. Newtek Bank has been granted PLP status and is authorized to place SBA guarantees on loans without seeking prior SBA review and approval. Being a national lender with PLP status allows Newtek Bank to expedite the origination of SBA 7(a) loans since Newtek Bank is not required to present applications to the SBA for concurrent review and approval. The loss of PLP status would adversely impact our marketing efforts and ultimately our loan origination volume, which would negatively impact our results of operations. See 2024 Form 10-K, “ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS - Risks Related to SBA Lending - There can be no guarantee that Newtek Bank will be able to maintain its SBA 7(a) lending license and PLP status.” and “ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS - Risks Related to SBA Lending - A governmental failure to fund the SBA could adversely affect Newtek Bank’s SBA 7(a) loan originations and our results of operations.”

Economic Developments

We have observed and continue to observe commodity inflation, rising interest rates, unrelated bank failures and declines in depositor confidence in certain types of depository institutions. In addition, the conflicts in the Middle East and the war between Russia and Ukraine, and resulting market volatility, could adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations. The ongoing conflicts have negatively affected the global economy and business activity and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, cash flows and results of operations. The severity and duration of conflicts and their impact on global economic and market conditions are impossible to predict. In 2024, numerous elections were held globally, including the recent U.S. presidential election. The outcomes of the elections are expected to result in changes in policy, which could also have adverse effects on us or the business environment in which we operate more generally. For example, the new U.S. presidential administration has imposed or increased tariffs, including on imports from China, and proposed imposing or increasing tariffs on U.S. trading partners, which could adversely affect markets, the business environment and our business. On July 4, 2025, federal legislation generally referred to as H.R. 1 - One Big Beautiful Bill Act (the “Act”) was signed into law. The Act includes a variety of tax provisions including permanently extending and modifying certain key aspects of existing federal tax law. U.S. GAAP requires the effects of changes in tax laws and rates to be recognized in its financial statements in the period in which legislation is enacted. Any of the above factors, including sanctions, export controls, tariffs, trade wars and other governmental actions, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, cash flows and results of operations and could cause the market value of our common shares and/or debt securities to decline. We monitor developments and seek to manage our investments in a manner consistent with achieving our investment objective, but there can be no assurance that we will be successful in doing so.

Income

For the quarterly period ended September 30, 2025, we generated income in the form of interest, net gains on the sales of loans originated (which primarily include sales of SBA 7(a) and ALP loans) and related servicing assets on such sales, dividends, electronic payment processing income, servicing income, and other fee income generated by loan originations and by our subsidiaries. We originated loans that typically have terms of 10 to 25 years and bear interest at prime plus a margin. In some instances, we received payments on our loans based on scheduled amortization of the outstanding balances. In addition, we received repayments of some of our loans prior to their scheduled maturity date. The frequency or volume of these repayments fluctuated significantly from period to period. Our portfolio activity for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2025, also reflects the proceeds of sales of guaranteed portions of SBA 7(a) loans we originated. In addition, we received servicing income related to the guaranteed portions of SBA 7(a) loans which we originated and sold into the secondary market as well as on the portfolios of ALP loans owned and then securitized by NCL JV (dissolved in September 2025 ), TSO JV and Newtek ALP Holdings . These recurring fees are outlined in servicing agreements and were recorded when earned. In addition, we generated revenue in the form of loan origination fees (packaging and legal fees) as well as loan prepayment and late fees. We recorded such fees related to loans held for sale as other income. Distributions of earnings from our joint ventures were evaluated to determine if the distribution was income, return of capital or realized gain.

Table of Contents

We recognized realized gains or losses on loans based on the difference between (1) the net proceeds from the disposition and any servicing assets recognized and (2) the cost basis of the loan without regard to unrealized gains or losses previously recognized. We recorded current period changes in fair value of loans and assets that were measured at fair value as a component of the net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on the loans or se rvicing assets, as appropriate, as well as amortization and impairment, if any, of LCM servicing rights in the consolidated statements of operations.

Expenses

For the quarterly period ended September 30, 2025, our primary operating expenses were salaries and benefits, interest expense including interest on deposits, electronic payment processing expense, loan origination and servicing expenses, and other general and administrative costs, such as professional fees, marketing, referral fees, servicing costs and rent.

Loans HFS, at fair value increased $384.7 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2025. The overall increase was primarily the result of holding guaranteed portions of SBA 7(a) loans for longer periods of time as well as new loan originations during 2025, in the amount of $310.6 million in SBA loans and an increase of $74.1 million for ALP loans.

Loans held for investment

At Fair value: Loans HFI, at fair value were $305.7 million at September 30, 2025 compared to $369.7 million at December 31, 2024. The balance consists primarily of SBA 7(a) loans as well as $5.8 million of loans that the Company owns 100% as a result of originating the loan and subsequently repurchasing the guaranteed portion from the SBA. As previously discussed, NSBF ceased originating loans during 2023, resulting in the decrease in the balance of loans held for investment from December 31, 2024 to September 30, 2025, primarily due to the principal payments of existing loans held by NSBF.

At Amortized Cost: Loans HFI, at amortized cost consist of loans originated at or purchased by Newtek Bank. The $212.4 million increase in loans HFI, at amortized cost is the result of an increase in originations for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 over 2024.

CRE exposure

The Company’s loan portfolio consists of loans to independent business owners (SMBs). The Company’s Loans HFI at amortized cost and Loans HFS at LCM include a total of $342.7 million of loans, including unfunded commitments, backed by CRE and considered non-owner occupied as of September 30, 2025. The average loan-to-value for this CRE portfolio was 58.3%.

Goodwill and Intangibles

The table below presents detail of the Company’s Goodwill and intangibles:

A sensitivity analysis of the loan servicing assets at fair value to adverse changes in significant assumptions as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 is as follows:


	September 30, 2025		December 31, 2024
Discount factor
Effect on fair value of a 100 basis point adverse change	$	(649)	$	(831)
Effect on fair value of a 200 basis point adverse change	(1,252)		(1,604)

Cumulative prepayment rate
Effect on fair value of a 100 basis point adverse change	$	(53)	$	(85)
Effect on fair value of a 500 basis point adverse change	(265)		(423)

Average cumulative default rate
Effect on fair value of a 100 basis point adverse change	$	(36)	$	(72)
Effect on fair value of a 500 basis point adverse change	(182)		(358)

The sensitivity analysis presents the hypothetical effect on fair value of the servicing assets due to the change in significant assumptions. Changes in fair value based on adverse changes in assumptions generally cannot be extrapolated because the relationship of the change in assumption to the change in fair value is not linear. Additionally, the sensitivity analysis shocks each significant assumption individually, while keeping all other assumptions unchanged. In practice, changes in one assumption generally impact other assumptions, which could increase or lessen the effect of the change.

Residuals in Securitizations, at Fair Value

The residuals in securitizations, at fair value arise from the NALP Business Loan Trust 2025-1 ALP securitization that the Company closed on April 23, 2025. Residuals in securitizations were $76.7 million as of September 30, 2025. The Securitization Trust meets the definition of a VIE. The Company holds a variable interest in the VIE, however, the Company is not considered the primary beneficiary of the VIE, because the power over the activities that have the most significant impact on the economic performance of the Securitization Trust is held by the Class C Noteholder, and therefore, the Company is not required to consolidate the Securitization Trust. The Company’s beneficial interest in the Securitization Trust is evidenced by sole ownership of the Ownership Certificate and its beneficial interest in the credit risk of the securitized ALP Loans. As the Sponsor is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, the Company effectively owns 100% of the equity interest in the Trust. Refer to NOTE 3—SECURITIZATIONS AND VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES in the accompanying notes to the consolidated financial statements for additional information.

Settlement Receivable

Settlement receivables were $0.5 million as of September 30, 2025, a decrease of $52.0 million compared to December 31, 2024. The settlement receivable arises from the guaranteed portions of SBA 7(a) loans that were traded in the period but did not settle during the current period end and the cash was not received from the purchasing broker during the current period; the amount varies depending on loan origination volume and timing of sales at quarter end. The reduction in the settlement receivable was primarily the result of our holding guaranteed portions of SBA 7(a) loans for longer periods of time.

LIABILITIES

Total liabilities at September 30, 2025, were $2.0 billion, an increase of $248.8 million, or 14.1%, compared to total liabilities of $1.8 billion at December 31, 2024.

Deposits

Total deposits were $1.2 billion at September 30, 2025, consisting of $21.8 million in non-interest bearing deposits and $1.2 billion in interest bearing deposits, a $0.2 billion increase from the balance as of December 31, 2024. As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, insured deposits represent 78.3% and 80.3%, respectively, of deposits.

Borrowings were $748.5 million at September 30, 2025, compared to $708.0 million at December 31, 2024. This increase was primarily due to $88.6 million of new borrowings under the NMS Goldman Facility, additional borrowings of $49.9 million on the SPV II facility as well as $29.4 million issuance of the 2030 Notes. These increases were partially offset by $32.7 million repayment in full of the NMS Webster Note, the maturity of $29.9 million of the 2025 5.00% Notes, $46.0 million reduction in the notes payable on securitization trusts, and $14.7 million repayments of borrowings on the SPV III facility, and $7.5 million in maturities of FHLB advances.

Interest Income

Loans and fees on loans: The $23.9 million increase in interest income on the Company’s loan portfolio was attributable to increases in the average balances of loans HFI and HFS, which increased $200.5 million and $175.2 million, respectively, as well as the average outstanding accrual portfolio of loans held for investment increasing to $1.5 billion from $1.1 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The increase in the average balance of loans HFS was attributable to originations of SBA 504 and ALP loans, and the increase in the average outstanding accrual loan portfolio resulted from the origination of new SBA 7(a) loans period over period.

Other interest earning assets: The $2.4 million increase in interest income from other interest earnings assets was attributable to higher interest rates on cash and due from banks, as well as interest bearing deposits in banks, including Newtek Bank earning interest on Federal Reserve Bank cash deposits.

Provision for Credit Losses

The provision for loan and lease credit losses represents the amount necessary to be charged against the current period’s earnings to maintain the ACL on loans at a level that the Company believes is appropriate in relation to the estimated losses inherent in the loan portfolio.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, there was a provision for credit losses of $30.3 million and $16.7 million, respectively. The increase was due to increases in net charge-offs, specific reserves on individually evaluated loans, and balances of loans held for investment at amortized cost, across all products but specifically SBA 7(a) loans.

Net Loss on Loan Servicing Assets

The Company accounts for servicing assets in accordance with ASC Topic 860-50 - Transfers and Servicing - Servicing Assets and Liabilities. The Company earns servicing fees from the guaranteed portions of SBA 7(a) loans it originates and sells, from the SBA 7(a) loan securitizations sponsored by NSBF, and from servicing the ALP portfolios in securitizations sponsored by NCL JV (terminated in August 2025) , TSO JV and Newtek ALP Holdings. Servicing assets for loans originated by the Company’s nonbank subsidiaries are measured at FV at each reporting date and the Company reports changes in the FV of servicing assets in earnings in the period in which the changes occur. The valuation model for servicing assets incorporates assumptions including, but not limited to, servicing costs, discount rate, prepayment rate, and default rate. Considerable judgment is required to estimate the fair value of servicing assets and, as such, these assets are classified as Level 3 in our fair value hierarchy. Servicing assets for loans originated by Newtek Bank are measured at LCM and amortized based on their estimated life, and impairment is recorded to the extent the amortized cost exceeds the asset’s FV. Net loss on loan servicing assets is shown net of amortization expense.

The larger loss in Net loss on loan servicing assets is due to the decrease in NSBF’s total portfolio of loans during the wind-down.

Servicing Income

The increase in servicing income was related to an increase of $127.2 million in the average total loan portfolio for which we earn servicing income period over period.

Net Gains on Sales of Loans

For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the average sale price on SBA 7(a) loans as a percent of principal balance was 110.67% compared to 111.00% for the prior period. The decrease in sales prices in 2025 resulted from lower demand. The decrease in overall net gains on sales of loans resulted from lower volumes of sales compared to the prior year at lower market premiums than the prior year. Additionally, the decrease in SBA 7(a) guaranteed loans sold is primarily due to management holding the loans for a longer period of time.

During the wind-down of NSBF’s operations, NSBF is required to continue to own its SBA 7(a) loans and PPP Loans in its SBA loan portfolio to maturity, liquidation, charge-off, or (subject to SBA’s prior written approval) sale or transfer. In addition, SBL will service and liquidate NSBF’s SBA Loan Portfolio, including processing forgiveness and loan reviews for PPP Loans pursuant to an SBA approved lender service provider agreement with SBL. The Company will continue to measure NSBF’s SBA 7(a) loan portfolio at fair value until the portfolio is completely runoff. The Company will report both realized and unrealized gains and losses relating to the fair value adjustments on the legacy NSBF SBA 7(a) portfolio.

Net Gain on Residuals in Securitizations

Net gains on residuals in securitizations for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 were $30.0 million. There were no net gains on residuals in securitizations for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. This resulted from the Company’s equity interest in the 2025-1 Securitization Trust which closed on April 23, 2025. To consummate the transaction, $216.6 million of ALP loans held for sale at fair value were sold into the securitization trust at par. This resulted in $35.4 million of previously recorded gains on ALP loans under the fair value option to be reversed, which was a large driver of the change described in the section below. The residual in the securitization (represented by the ownership certificate) was then valued resulting in a gain that was netted against the transaction costs. Refer to NOTE 3—SECURITIZATIONS AND VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES in the accompanying notes to the consolidated financial statements for additional information.

Net Gain (Loss) on Loans under the Fair Value Option

Net gain (loss) on loans accounted for under the fair value option for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 were as follows:


	For the nine months ended
	September 30, 2025		September 30, 2024		Change
SBA 7(a) Unguaranteed Loans	$	(10,665)	$	(17,216)	$	6,551
SBA 7(a) Guaranteed Loans	30,080		326		29,754
SBA 504 and Non-SBA Loans	16,151		12,709		3,442
Net Gain (Loss) on Loans Accounted for Under the Fair Value Option	$	35,566	$	(4,181)	$	39,747

Net unrealized gain (loss) on loans accounted for under the fair value option relates to the guaranteed portions of SBA loans made which the Company sells into a secondary market, the unguaranteed portions of SBA loans made which the Company holds, SBA 504 loans that are held for sale, and ALP loans that are held for sale. This unrealized gain (loss) represents the fair value adjustment of loans . The amount of the unrealized gain (loss) is determined by the quantity of loans held for sale at quarter end, the change in secondary market pricing conditions, and the valuation of the loans that are not held for sale.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company recorded unrealized gains on SBA 7(a) unguaranteed loans accounted for under the fair value option as the portfolio paid down. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company recorded unrealized gains on SBA 7(a) guaranteed loans accounted for under the fair value option primarily due to holding guaranteed portions of SBA 7(a) loans for longer periods of time.

The $3.4 million increase in unrealized gain (loss) on loans accounted for under the fair value option from SBA 504 and Non-SBA loans is primarily volume driven from the reversal of the previous gains on ALP loans to consummate the NALP 2025-1 transaction as noted above.

Technology Services Expense

The $8.6 million decrease in technology services expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 corresponded with the NTS Sale. Refer to NOTE 4—INVESTMENTS: Intelligent Protection Management Corp .

Other Loan Origination and Maintenance Expense

Other loan origination and maintenance expenses during the nine months ended September 30, 2025, was $14.5 million compared to $9.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 due to a larger dollar volume and count of loan originations in 2025 compared to 2024.

The increase in other general and administrative costs of $6.9 million is primarily driven by higher technology-related costs following the sale of NTS in 2025. These costs were previously eliminated in consolidation but are now recognized as standalone expenses post-divestiture.

1 As a result of commitments made to the Federal Reserve, the Company divested of NTS on January 2, 2025, and is no longer a reportable segment. See NOTE 4—INVESTMENTS: Intelligent Protection Management Corp .

Banking

The banking segment includes Newtek Bank as well as its consolidated subsidiary SBL. The financial results include the origination, sale, and servicing of SBA 7(a) loans, SBA 504 loans, C&I loans, CRE loans and ABL loans. In addition, Newtek Bank offers depository services. The results include $43.9 million of net interest income during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to $28.2 million of net interest income during the nine months ended September 30, 2024. During 2025, the Company increased the average balances of loans HFI and HFS as well as the average outstanding accrual portfolio of loans HFI, which was partially offset by an increase in the provision for credit losses, resulting in higher net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2024.

Alternative Lending

Alternative Lending includes Newtek ALP Holdings (NALH) and its subsidiaries. The Company has originated loans under its Alternative Lending Program since 2019. Prior to July 1, 2024, the Company originated ALP loans with the intent to sell to a JV. While the Company continues to source JV partners to participate in this program, during the third quarter of 2024, the Company made the decision to originate with the intent to securitize ALP loans with our subsidiary Newtek ALP Holdings as the originator and sponsor without a joint venture partner; the Company’s first such securitization transaction was consummated during the second quarter of 2025. The Company could also originate ALP loans designated as HFI. On August 27, 2025, NALH entered into an interest purchase agreement with TCP to acquire TCP’s 50 % ownership interest in NCL JV for $ 15.75 million, resulting in NALH owning 100% of NCL JV. Compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2024, there were more loans originations that drove higher income for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, as well as larger gains on loans at fair value.

NSBF

NSBF includes NSBF’s legacy portfolio of SBA 7(a) loans held outside Newtek Bank. The change in net income is due to the wind-down of NSBF’s operations.

Payments

Payments includes NMS, POS and Mobil Money. Within the segment’s results are $35.9 million of noninterest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 resulting from marketing credit and debit card processing services, check approval services, processing equipment, and software, compared to $39.1 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The net income also included $23.1 million and $24.4 million of noninterest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Table of Contents

Corporate and Other

Corporate and Other represents operations not considered to be reportable segments and/or general operating expenses of the Company, and includes the parent company, other non-bank subsidiaries including NIA, PMT, and elimination adjustments to reconcile the results of the operating segments to the consolidated financial statements prepared in conformity with GAAP.

Interest Income

Loans and fees on loans: The $7.8 million increase in interest income on the Company’s loan portfolio was attributable to an increase in the average outstanding accrual portfolio of loans held for investment increasing to $1.6 billion from $1.2 billion for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The increase in the average outstanding accrual loan portfolio resulted from the origination of new SBA 7(a) loans period over period.

Provision for Credit Losses

For the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, there was a provision for loan credit losses of $7.7 million and $6.9 million, respectively. The increase was due to an increase in loans held for investment at amortized cost, specifically SBA 7(a) loans, as well as a sequential build of the provision year over year.

Table of Contents

Net Loss on Loan Servicing Assets

The Company accounts for servicing assets in accordance with ASC Topic 860-50 - Transfers and Servicing - Servicing Assets and Liabilities. The Company earns servicing fees from the guaranteed portions of SBA 7(a) loans it originates and sells, from the SBA 7(a) loan securitizations sponsored by NSBF, and from servicing the ALP portfolios in securitizations sponsored by NCL JV (dissolved in September 2025 ) , TSO JV and Newtek ALP Holdings. Servicing assets for loans originated by the Company’s nonbank subsidiaries are measured at FV at each reporting date and the Company reports changes in the FV of servicing assets in earnings in the period in which the changes occur. The valuation model for servicing assets incorporates assumptions including, but not limited to, servicing costs, discount rate, prepayment rate, and default rate. Considerable judgment is required to estimate the fair value of servicing assets and, as such, these assets are classified as Level 3 in our fair value hierarchy. Servicing assets for loans originated by Newtek Bank are measured at LCM and amortized based on their estimated life, and impairment is recorded to the extent the amortized cost exceeds the asset’s FV. Net loss on loan servicing assets is shown net of amortization expense.

The larger loss in Net loss on loan servicing assets is due to the decrease in NSBF’s total portfolio of loans during the wind-down.

Servicing Income

The increase in servicing income was related to an increase of $159.2 million in the average total loan portfolio for which we earn servicing income period over period.

Net Gains on Sales of Loans

Net gains on sales of loans for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 were as follows:


	Three Months Ended

1 Realized gains greater than 110.00% must be split 50/50 with the SBA in accordance with SBA regulations. The realized gains recognized above reflect amounts net of split with the SBA.

For the three months ended September 30, 2025, the average sale price on SBA 7(a) loans as a percent of principal balance was 110.12% compared to 110.78% for the prior period. The decrease in sales prices in 2025 resulted from lower demand. The decrease in overall net gains on sales of loans resulted from lower volumes of sales compared to the prior year at lower market premiums than the prior year. Additionally, the decrease in SBA 7(a) guaranteed loans sold is primarily due to management holding the loans for a longer period of time.

Net (Loss) Gain on Residuals in Securitizations

Net (loss) gain on residuals in securitizations for the three months ended September 30, 2025 were $(1.5) million. There were no net gains on residuals in securitizations for the three months ended September 30, 2024. This resulted from the Company’s equity interest in the 2025-1 Securitization Trust which closed on April 23, 2025. To consummate the transaction, $216.6 million of ALP loans held for sale at fair value were sold into the securitization trust at par. This resulted in $35.4 million of previously recorded gains on ALP loans under the fair value option to be reversed, which was a large driver of the change described in the section below. The residual in the securitization (represented by the ownership certificate) was then valued resulting in a gain that was netted against the transaction costs. Refer to NOTE 3—SECURITIZATIONS AND VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES in the accompanying notes to the consolidated financial statements for additional information.

Net Gain (Loss) on Loans Accounted for Under the Fair Value Option

Net gain (loss) on loans accounted for under the fair value option for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 were as follows:


	For the three months ended
	September 30, 2025		September 30, 2024		Change
SBA 7(a) Unguaranteed Loans	$	(3,319)	$	(11,538)	$	8,219
SBA 7(a) Guaranteed Loans	11,484		300		11,184
SBA 504 and Non-SBA Loans	21,085		7,153		13,932
Net Gain (Loss) on Loans Accounted for Under the Fair Value Option	$	29,250	$	(4,085)	$	33,335

Net unrealized gain (loss) on loans accounted for under the fair value option relates to the guaranteed portions of SBA loans made which the Company sells into a secondary market, the unguaranteed portions of SBA loans made which the Company holds, SBA 504 loans that are HFS, and ALP loans that are held for sale. This unrealized gain (loss) represents the fair value adjustment of loans . The amount of the unrealized gain (loss) is determined by the quantity of loans held for sale at quarter end, the change in secondary market pricing conditions, and the valuation of the loans that are not held for sale.

During the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company recorded unrealized losses on SBA 7(a) unguaranteed loans accounted for under the fair value option as the portfolio paid down. During the three months ended September 30, 2024, the Company recorded unrealized gains on SBA 7(a) guaranteed loans accounted for under the fair value option primarily due to holding guaranteed portions of SBA 7(a) loans for longer periods of time.

The $13.9 million increase in unrealized gain on loans accounted for under the fair value option from SBA 504 and Non-SBA loans is primarily volume driven from the reversal of the previous gains on ALP loans to consummate the NALP 2025-1 transaction as noted above.

Technology and IT Support Income

Technology and IT support income was $3.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024. There was no Technology and IT support income for the three months ended September 30, 2025, due to the sale of NTS. Refer to NOTE 4—INVESTMENTS: Intelligent Protection Management Corp .

Table of Contents

Other Noninterest Income

For the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, other noninterest income related primarily to loan origination fees (legal and packaging) on loans sold or carried at fair value. Other items that contributed to the $1.7 million decrease included a decrease on prepayment and late fees earned from SBA 7(a) loans. The Company originated 547 of SBA 7(a) loans compared to 639 loans for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Adding to the decrease was $0.6 million of net unrealized losses on joint ventures and other non-control investments for the three months ended September 30, 2025 compared to none in the prior period.

Technology Services Expenses

The $1.8 million decrease in technology services expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2025 corresponded with the NTS Sale. Refer to NOTE 4—INVESTMENTS: Intelligent Protection Management Corp .

Other Loan Origination and Maintenance Expense

Other loan origination and maintenance expenses during the three months ended September 30, 2025, was $6.8 million compared to $4.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024. The increase was due to the increase in loans originated during the period.

Depreciation and Amortization

The decrease in depreciation and amortization period over period is primarily attributable to the full amortization of intangible assets during the second half of 2024, which results in less amortization in 2025 as compared to the prior year.

Loss on Extinguishment of Debt

The increase in loss on extinguishment of debt period over period is attributable to the repayment in full of the NMS Webster Note on September 26, 2025.

Other General and Administrative Costs

The increase in other general and administrative costs of $2.0 million is primarily driven by higher technology-related costs following the sale of NTS in 2025. These costs were previously eliminated in consolidation but are now recognized as standalone expenses post-divestiture.

Alternative Lending

Alternative Lending includes Newtek ALP Holdings (NALH) and its subsidiaries. The Company has originated loans under its Alternative Lending Program since 2019. Prior to July 1, 2024, the Company originated ALP loans with the intent to sell to a JV. While the Company continues to source JV partners to participate in this program, during the third quarter of 2024, the Company made the decision to originate with the intent to securitize ALP loans with our subsidiary Newtek ALP Holdings as the originator and sponsor without a joint venture partner; the Company’s first such securitization transaction was consummated during the second quarter of 2025. The Company could also originate ALP loans designated as HFI. On August 27, 2025, NALH entered into an interest purchase agreement with TCP to acquire TCP’s 50% ownership interest in NCL JV for $15.75 million, resulting in NALH owning 100% of NCL JV. Compared to the three months ended September 30, 2024, there were more loans originations that drove higher income for the three months ended September 30, 2025, as well as larger gains on loans at fair value.

NSBF

NSBF relates to NSBF’s legacy portfolio of SBA 7(a) loans held outside Newtek Bank. The change in net income is due to the wind-down of NSBF’s operations.

Payments

Payments includes NMS, POS and Mobil Money. Within the segment’s results are $11.9 million of noninterest income for the three months ended September 30, 2025, resulting from marketing credit and debit card processing services, check approval services, processing equipment, and software, compared to $12.5 million during the three months ended September 30, 2024. The net income also included $7.6 million and $7.3 million of noninterest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

From 2010 through June 2023, NSBF engaged in thirteen (13) securitizations of the unguaranteed portions of its SBA 7(a) loans. In the securitizations, NSBF used a special purpose entity (the “Trust”) which is considered a variable interest entity. Applying the consolidation requirements for VIEs under the accounting rules in ASC Topic 860, Transfers and Servicing, and ASC Topic 810, Consolidation, which became effective January 1, 2010, the Company determined that as the primary beneficiary of the securitization vehicle, based on its power to direct activities through its role as servicer for the Trust and its obligation to absorb losses and right to receive benefits, it needed to consolidate the Trusts. NSBF therefore consolidated the entity using the carrying amounts of the Trust’s assets and liabilities.

The Company has restricted cash of $24.7 million as of September 30, 2025. NSBF holds $7.6 million of the Company’s restricted cash, which includes reserves in the event payments are insufficient to cover interest and/or principal with respect to securitizations and loan principal and interest collected which are due to loan participants. In addition, the Company has funded a $10.0 million account at Newtek Bank to fund certain of NSBF’s potential obligations to the SBA pursuant to the Wind-down Agreement. of which the Company is a guarantor. The majority of the Company’s remaining restricted cash is held by the parent company.

The Company generated and used cash as follows:

Guarantees

The Company is a guarantor on several warehouse lines of credit as noted in the above table under Contractual Obligations. Refer to NOTE 11—BORROWINGS to the consolidated financial statements for the amounts outstanding, line availability, and term. The Company is also a guarantor on an NMS term loan facility. At September 30, 2025, the Company determined that it is not probable that payments would be required to be made under the guarantees. The Company is also a guarantor on certain of NSBF’s potential obligations to the SBA pursuant to the Wind-down Agreement. Specifically, pursuant to the Wind-down Agreement, the Company has guaranteed NSBF’s obligations to the SBA for post-purchase repairs or denials on the guaranteed portion of 7(a) Loans sold by NSBF on the secondary market or servicing/liquidation post-purchase repairs or denial, and has funded a $10.0 million account to secure these potential obligations.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and revenues and expenses during the periods reported. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates. We have identified the following items as critical accounting policies for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2025.

101

Table of Contents

Valuation of Loans at Fair Value

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (i.e., the “exit price”) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In determining fair value, management used various valuation approaches. ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three levels for disclosure purposes. We consider our loans HFI, at fair value and HFS, at fair value to be Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy as described in Note 10. Determining the fair value of the Level 3 loans held for sale and loans held for investment, which are measured at fair value requires management to make significant judgments about the valuation methodologies and inputs and assumptions used in the fair value calculation, including, but not limited to, historical credit losses, discounts for lack of marketability, underlying cash flows, and the impact of economic conditions.

On a quarterly basis, management determines the fair values of the retained unguaranteed portions of SBA 7(a) loans HFI, and unrealized changes in FV are recognized in the income statement. The loans within this portfolio were originated by NSBF. NSBF ceased originating new loans in April 2023 when all new SBA 7(a) loan originations were transitioned to Newtek Bank. (See Historical Business Regulation and Taxation, for a discussion of the wind-down of NSBF’s operations.)

The Company originated SBA 504 loans HFS prior to the Acquisition through its nonbank subsidiaries. SBA 504 loans HFS held at NALH are accounted for under the FV option. Additionally, the existing government guaranteed portion of SBA 7(a) loans held at NSBF and certain SBA 504 loans held at Newtek Bank are also HFS at FV.

The Company also originates ALP loans (formerly referred to as our nonconforming conventional loans), which are either HFS or HFI, via its nonbank subsidiary. ALP loans are carried at FV. ALP loans are held at NALH and TSO JV and are also accounted for under the FV option.

Allowance for Credit Losses

The allowance for credit losses consists of the allowance for credit losses and the reserve for unfunded commitments. As a result of the Company’s Acquisition the adoption of ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“CECL”) and its related amendments, we developed a methodology for estimating the reserve for credit losses. The standard replaced the “incurred loss” approach with an “expected loss” approach known as current expected credit loss. The CECL approach requires an estimate of the credit losses expected over the life of an exposure (or pool of exposures). It removes the incurred loss approach’s threshold that delayed the recognition of a credit loss until it was “probable” a loss event was “incurred.” The estimate of expected credit losses under the CECL approach is based on relevant information about past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the reported amounts. Historical loss experience is generally the starting point for estimating expected credit losses. The Company then considers whether the historical loss experience should be adjusted for asset-specific risk characteristics or current conditions at the reporting date that did not exist over the period from which historical experience was used. Finally, the Company considers forecasts about future economic conditions that are reasonable and supportable. The reserve for unfunded commitments represents the expected credit losses on off-balance sheet commitments such as unfunded commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit. However, a liability is not recognized for commitments unconditionally cancellable by the Company. The reserve for unfunded commitments is determined by estimating future draws and applying the expected loss rates on those draws.

Management of the Company considers the accounting policy relating to the allowance for credit losses to be a critical accounting policy given the uncertainty in evaluating the level of the allowance required to cover management’s estimate of all expected credit losses over the expected contractual life of our loan portfolio. Determining the appropriateness of the allowance is complex and requires judgment by management about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. Subsequent evaluations of the then-existing loan portfolio and other financial assets to which CECL applies, in light of the factors then prevailing, may result in significant changes in the allowance for credit losses in those future periods. While management’s current evaluation of the allowance for credit losses indicates that the allowance is appropriate, the allowance may need to be increased under adversely different conditions or assumptions. Going forward, the impact of utilizing the CECL approach to calculate the reserve for credit losses will be significantly influenced by the composition, characteristics, and quality of our loan portfolio, as well as the prevailing economic conditions and forecasts utilized. Material changes to these and other relevant factors may result in greater volatility in the reserve for credit losses, and therefore, greater volatility to our reported earnings.

Consideration of losses occurs when serious doubt regarding the repayment of the loan is present. For real estate loans, current appraisals will aid in determining the amount to be charged off. For commercial loans, collateral valuations and borrower guarantees should be considered; however, weight to these two sources should be limited. Once a deficiency in collateral is determined, a reserve equal to the deficiency should be made immediately to the Allowance for Credit Losses (ACL). A charge

102

off should be made within 90 days if a full analysis confirms the deficiency cannot be covered via additional collateral or resources of the borrower or guarantors.

Valuation of Servicing Assets

For the quarterly period ended September 30, 2025, the Company accounted for servicing assets in accordance with ASC Topic 860-50 - Transfers and Servicing - Servicing Assets and Liabilities. The Company and Newtek Bank earn servicing fees primarily from the guaranteed portions of SBA 7(a) loans and to a lesser extent ALP and SBA 504 loans they originate and sell. Servicing assets for loans originated by the Company’s nonbank subsidiaries are measured at FV at each reporting date and the Company reports changes in the FV of servicing assets in earnings in the period in which the changes occur. The valuation model for servicing assets incorporates assumptions including, but not limited to, servicing costs, discount rate, prepayment rate, and default rate. Considerable judgment is required to estimate the fair value of servicing assets and as such these assets are classified as Level 3 in our fair value hierarchy. Servicing assets for loans originated by Newtek Bank are measured at LCM and amortized based on their estimated life and impairment is recorded to the extent the amortized cost exceeds the asset’s FV.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements and New Accounting Standards

Refer to NOTE 2—SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES for information on recently adopted accounting pronouncements and new accounting standards.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

In the normal course of business, the Company enters into various transactions to meet the financing needs of clients, which, in accordance with GAAP, are not included in the consolidated balance sheets. These transactions may include commitments to extend credit, standby letters of credit, and the construction phase of SBA 504 loans, which involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit risk and interest rate risk in excess of the amounts recognized in the consolidated balance sheets. The SBA 504 loans are expected to partially draw, if not fully draw. All off-balance sheet commitments are included in the determination of the amount of risk-based capital that the Company and Newtek Bank are required to hold.

The Company’s exposure to credit loss in the event of non-performance by the other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit, standby letters of credit, and commercial letters of credit is represented by the contractual or notional amount of those instruments. The Company manages risk of exposure to credit losses under these commitments by subjecting them to credit approval and monitoring procedures. The Company assesses the credit risk associated with certain commitments to extend credit and establishes a liability for credit losses.

Further information related to financial instruments can be found in NOTE 13—COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES.

Residuals in Securitizations, at Fair Value

On April 23, 2025, the Company’s subsidiary Newtek ALP Holdings closed a securitization pursuant to which it sold $155.9 million of Class A Notes, $23.8 million of Class B Notes, and $4.3 million of a Class C Note (collectively, the “2025-1 Notes”) issued by NALP Business Loan Trust 2025-1 (the “Securitization Trust”). The 2025-1 Notes were backed by $216.6 million of collateral, consisting of Newtek ALP Holdings originated ALP loans. The Class A Notes received a Morningstar DBRS rating of “A (low) (sf)” and were priced at a yield of 6.338%; the Class B Notes received a Morningstar DBRS rating of “BBB (sf)” and were priced at a yield of 7.838%; and the Class C Note received a Morningstar DBRS rating of “BB (sf)” and was priced at a yield of 10.338%. The 2025-1 Notes had a weighted average yield of 6.62% and an 85% advance rate.

Note Purchase and Exchange

On October 21, 2025, the Company entered into agreements with two institutional investors that were existing holders of the Company’s 2026 Notes to exchange the $20.0 million in total principal amount of the Company’s 2026 Notes held by such investors for an equal principal amount of the Company’s 2030 Notes. One of the investors also agreed to purchase $2.0 million in newly issued additional principal amount of the Company’s 2030 Notes. The transactions were conducted pursuant to exemptions from the registration requirements of the Securities Act.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

We consider the principal types of risk in our business activities to be fluctuations in interest rates, the ability to raise funds (deposits, debt, and or equity) to fund our operations, and the availability of the secondary market for our SBA loans. Risk management systems and procedures are designed to identify and analyze our risks, to set appropriate policies and limits and to continually monitor these risks and limits by means of reliable administrative and information systems and other policies and programs.

The Company’s interest rate profile on loans is based on a mix of fixed and variable rates. The same is true for its sources of funding (deposits, warehouse lines of credit, securitization trust notes, public notes, etc.). Some of our assets and liabilities are match funded, meaning that the interest rate and duration profiles are closely linked. Managing interest rate risk with matched funding means that movements in interest rates are expected to largely offset between income from assets and expenses on liabilities. For the remainder of our balance sheet, we largely take a portfolio approach to managing interest rate and liquidity risk that is inherently imprecise.

The Company depends on the availability of secondary market purchasers of our loans held for sale, but primarily for the guaranteed portions of SBA loans and the premium received on such sales to support its lending operations. Sale prices for guaranteed portions of SBA 7(a) loans could be negatively impacted by market conditions, in particular a higher interest rate environment, which typically lead to higher prepayments during the period, resulting in lower sale prices in the secondary market. A reduction in the price of guaranteed portions of SBA 7(a) loans or disruptions in the markets to which we sell could negatively impact our business.

The Company has cash and cash equivalents, which includes cash and due from banks, restricted cash, and interest bearing deposits in banks, of $216.9 million. We do not purchase or hold derivative financial instruments for trading purposes. All of our transactions are conducted in U.S. dollars and we do not have any foreign currency or foreign exchange risk. We do not trade commodities or have any commodity price risk.

We believe that we have placed our cash investments and their equivalents, which include deposits at other institutions, with high credit-quality financial institutions. As of September 30, 2025, cash deposits in excess of insured amounts totaled approximately $29.0 million. The Company and its non-bank subsidiaries have deposit accounts at Newtek Bank that total $105.9 million, of which $105.5 million is uninsured.

Interest rate risk is a significant market risk and can result from timing and volume differences in the repricing of rate-sensitive assets and liabilities, widening or tightening of credit spreads, changes in the general level of market interest rates and changes in the shape and level of market yield curves. The Company manages the interest rate sensitivity of interest-bearing liabilities and interest-earning assets in an effort to minimize the adverse effects of changes in the interest rate environment balanced against maximizing profit. Management of interest rate risk is carried out primarily through strategies involving cash, loan portfolio, and available funding sources.

The Newtek Bank board of directors has established an Asset/Liability Committee (the “ALCO Committee”) to oversee the implementation of an effective process for managing the risk profile inherent in Newtek Bank’s balance sheet and related business activities as well as the ongoing monitoring and reporting thereon. Risks inherent in Newtek Bank’s balance sheet include interest rate risk (i.e., the risk to liquidity and capital resulting from changes in interest rates), liquidity risk (the risk to the availability of funds to execute its business strategy and meet its obligations), and similar risks. The ALCO Committee, subject to Newtek Bank board approval, is responsible for establishing policies, risk limits and capital levels (collectively “ALM Policies”) as well overseeing and monitoring compliance therewith. Newtek Bank’s ALM Policies set forth a risk management framework relating to managing liquidity, managing fluctuations in interest rates, capital management, investments, and hedging and the use of derivatives. The ALCO Committee and Newtek Bank’s board may implement additional policies and procedures relating to these areas in order to manage risk to an appropriate level.

The matching of assets and liabilities may be analyzed by examining the extent to which such assets and liabilities are “interest rate sensitive.” An asset or liability is said to be interest rate sensitive within a specific time period if it will mature or reprice within that time period. The Company analyzes interest rate sensitivity position to manage the risk associated with interest rate movements through the use of two simulation models: economic value of equity (“EVE”) and net interest income (“NII”) simulations. These simulations project both short-term and long-term interest rate risk under a variety of instantaneous parallel rate shocks applied to a static balance sheet. The EVE simulation provides a long-term view of interest rate risk because it analyzes all of the Company’s future cash flows. EVE is defined as the present value of the Company’s assets, less the present value of its liabilities, adjusted for any off-balance sheet items. The results show a theoretical change in the economic value of shareholders’ equity as interest rates change.

105

Table of Contents

EVE and NII simulations are completed routinely on Newtek Bank’s balance sheet and presented to the ALCO Committee. Other positions outside of Newtek Bank are typically match funded or hedged with instruments that have similar terms and/or interest rate features. The simulations provide an estimate of the impact of changes in interest rates on equity and net interest income under a range of assumptions. The numerous assumptions used in the simulation process are provided to the ALCO Committee on at least an annual basis. Changes to these assumptions can significantly affect the results of the simulation. The simulation incorporates assumptions regarding the potential timing in the repricing of certain assets and liabilities when market rates change and the changes in spreads between different market rates. The simulation analysis incorporates management’s current assessment of the risk that pricing margins will change adversely over time due to competition or other factors. Simulation analysis is only an estimate of interest rate risk exposure at a particular point in time. The Company regularly models various forecasted rate projections with non-parallel shifts that are reflective of potential current rate environment outcomes. Under these scenarios, the Company’s interest rate risk profile may increase in asset sensitivity, decrease in asset sensitivity, or depending on the scenario and timing of anticipated rate changes, may transition to a liability sensitive interest rate risk profile. Regular, robust modeling of various interest rate outcomes allows the Company to properly assess and manage potential risks from various rate shifts.

Estimated Changes in EVE and NII. The table below sets forth, as of September 30, 2025, the estimated changes in our (i) EVE that would result from the designated instantaneous changes in the forward rate curves; and (ii) NII that would result from the designated instantaneous changes in the U.S. Treasury yield curve, Prime Rate and the Secured Overnight Finance Rate. Computations of prospective effects of hypothetical interest rate changes are based on numerous assumptions including relative levels of market interest rates, loan prepayments and deposit decay, and should not be relied on as indicative of actual results.


Basis Point ("bp") Change in	Estimated Increase/Decrease in Net Interest Income		Estimated Percentage Change in EVE
Interest Rates	12 Months Beginning September 30, 2025	12 Months Beginning September 30, 2026	As of September 30, 2025
+200	13.8%	15.4%	(0.4)%
+100	6.8	7.6	(0.2)
-100	(8.0)	(8.6)	0.4
-200	(15.8)	(17.0)	1.0

Rates are increased instantaneously at the beginning of the projection. The Company is asset sensitive, as the Company’s variable rate loan portfolio reprices the full amount of the assumed change in interest rates, while fixed-rate Company notes will reprice on maturity and the retail savings and short-term retail certificates of deposits portfolio will reprice with an assumed beta. Interest rates do not normally move all at once or evenly over time, but management believes that the analysis is useful to understanding the potential direction and magnitude of net interest income changes due to changing interest rates.

The EVE analysis shows that the Company would theoretically modestly increase market value in a rising rate environment. The EVE asset sensitivity results from the combination of fixed-rate debt and variable-rate debt which funds the variable-rate loan portfolio outside of Newtek Bank.
