Crossroads Systems Reports Fiscal Second Quarter 2021 Financial Results
Record Issuance of PPP Loans Drives Record Operating Income of $150.4 Million, or $25.16 Per Share
4th Largest PPP Lender by Net Dollars; 2nd Largest by Loans Approved

DALLAS, June 14, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Crossroads Systems, Inc. (OTCQX: CRSS) ("Crossroads" or the "Company"), a holding company focused on investing in businesses that promote economic vitality and community development, reported financial results for its fiscal second quarter 2021 ended April 30, 2021.

Fiscal Second Quarter 2021 Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)

  • Gross origination fees associated with PPP loans totaled $464.1 million for the quarter. Net of cost of fees and margin split with loan service providers, the Company recorded $150.2 million in operating income from origination fees during the second fiscal quarter.
  • Capital Plus Financial, a designated CDFI, issued and approved 364,079 PPP loans to small business owners and independent contractors during the quarter. As of the culmination of the program on May 31, 2021, the Company has approved 472,036 loans at an average amount of $16,062. 80% of loans issued and approved went to minority small business owners and individuals.
  • Expects to accrue a total of $1.1 billion in deferred gross origination fees from the program, which will be recognized when expenses are incurred in a later period.
  • Added $4.9 million in new single-family mortgages during the fiscal second quarter.
  • The Company's mortgage portfolio grew to $132 million from $121.4 million for the comparative period in 2020.
  • The serious delinquency rate as of the period ended April 30, 2021 was 1.1%, compared to 1.4% at the end of the same period in 2020. The Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (Freddie Mac) reported a single-family serious delinquency rate of 2.15% as of the period ended April 30, 2021. The serious delinquency rate is based on the number of mortgage loans that are three monthly payments or more past due or in the process of foreclosure.
  • Held 113 properties in inventory compared to 119 at the same time in 2020. As of April 30, 2021, gross inventory was $11.6 million compared to $11.5 million as of April 30, 2020. The housing boom in Texas is providing very stable employment and growth for CPF's customers. This is, however, providing, supply constraints for housing stock but inventory is selling as fast as it comes to market.

Fiscal Second Quarter 2021 Financial Highlights

  • Total property sales income was $6.6 million for the quarter, up from $6.4 million for the same period in 2020. The increase in property sales income for the quarter was primarily due to slightly increased pricing on homes sold.
  • Total interest income increased 76% to $5.6 million, up from $3.2 million in the comparative 2020 period. The increase in interest income was the result of interest income earned from the growth in the mortgage loan portfolio and the interest from the PPP loans.
  • Operating income increased to $150.4 million, up from $1.3 million in the same period in 2020. The substantial increase in operating income was primarily due to origination fees associated with the Company's participation in the PPP loan program.
  • Cash EPS (operating income less income to non-controlling interests) was $25.16 compared to $0.16 for the comparative period in 2020. The Company utilized its tax losses of $103 million and its deferred tax asset of $21 million and booked a cash tax expense of $9.6 million for the quarter.
  • Book value as reported was $173.5 million, or $29.05 per share. Adjusted book value including $1.2 million of subordinated debt totaled $174.8 million, or $29.26 per share.
  • As of April 30, 2021, the Company held a cash balance of $213.1 million compared to $2.6 million as of October 31, 2020.

Management Commentary
"In the last several months, Capital Plus has transformed from a regional single-family mortgage-based lending institution into one of the country's largest providers of small business loans," said Eric A. Donnelly, Chief Executive Officer of Crossroads Systems. "When the SBA announced its reopening of the program in January, we immediately identified strong synergies between the program's focus on small businesses and Capital Plus' core mission as a CDFI. Together with our loan service providers, we established early incumbency as the go-to institution for small business owners, independent contractors, and sole proprietors. Financially, our success in the program has put us into the best position we have ever been in, netting us more than $150 million in operating income for the quarter. At a record cash position, we are well-capitalized to support the future growth initiatives that will drive our double-bottom line.  We will provide a more detailed review of the quarter and these growth initiatives in the near future upon the completion of PPP.
