Lendway, Inc. Announces Third Quarter 2023 Financial Results

MINNEAPOLIS, MN / ACCESSWIRE / November 13, 2023 / Lendway, Inc. (NASDAQ:LDWY) ("Lendway") today reported financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2023 ("Q3").

Non-Bank Lending Business

We are building a scalable non-bank lending business to purchase existing loans or originate and fund new loans, all of which will be secured by collateral. Initially, we intend to focus on loans secured by real estate, primarily for agricultural purposes. We expect to expand our product offerings over time as we identify needs and opportunities in the marketplace for loans generally. Our plan, therefore, is to build a portfolio of well-secured loans, with a portion of the credit risk being participated to third parties in most cases, to maintain a low net loss experience and to charge fully compensatory rates and fees.

Lendway is seeking to establish channels for loan origination in Minnesota and nearby states. Mr. Uglem, commented. "We have successfully built the structure for our new business focus. The strong ag economy continues to support demand for farm real estate and values remain strong. Elevated interest rates are limiting term loan refinance activity in the industry; however, we see opportunities to deploy capital to purchase participations in existing bank loans and to provide loans for customer land acquisitions."

Q3 2023 Results

The operations of the in-store marketing business is presented as a discontinued operation beginning with this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended September 30, 2023, the quarter in which the sale first met the criteria as a discontinued operation. As we seek to grow our non-bank lending business, we anticipate minimal revenue and to have losses from continuing operations for the remainder of the year. General and administrative expenses were $1,564,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2023, this included $926,000 of severance and other separation benefits for our previous CEO. We expect general and administrative expense to be substantially less in future quarters. At September 30, 2023, the company had cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash of $15,039,000.

Other

As previously announced, Lendway continues to explore other strategic options to maximize stockholder value. Potential strategic alternatives that may be evaluated include, but are not limited to, an acquisition, merger, business combination, in-licensing, start-up of other new businesses, or other strategic initiatives. There can be no assurance that this process will result in any transaction or other initiatives, and the Company has no further updates at this stage.
