Q3 2023 Three Month Financial Results
For the quarter ended September 30, 2023, total revenue increased to $4.3 million, compared to $2.4 million in the prior year period, primarily due to higher investment and loan interest income and higher deposit, activity and onboarding income.

Third quarter 2023 operating expenses increased to $3.8 million, compared to $1.6 million in the prior year period. The increase in operating expense is due to increased compensation and employee benefits increased on account of stock-based compensation and also the increase in the head count in anticipation of growth. General and administrative expenses increased across various categories including: i) approximately $134,699 in investment hosting fees as a result of the reorganization, ii) approximately $92,123 in increased marketing expense as we focus on growth, iii) approximately $287,246 in amortization and depreciation, and iv) approximately $100,023 in business insurance. There was an increase in professional services expense primarily due to the increase in the legal fees, audit fees, and consulting fees towards SEC filing and other regulatory reporting. The provision for credit losses has decreased due to decrease in the loss rate and an increase in the absolute value of the loans. Impairment of goodwill and finite lived intangible assets has increased on account of termination of the Master Services and Revenue Sharing Agreement with Central Bank under which the Company provided expertise and intellectual property to cannabis related businesses primarily located in Arkansas.

Net loss for Q3 2023 was $748,067, compared to net income of $1,056,235 in the prior year period, primarily due to an increase in compensation and employee benefits as well as an increase in general and administrative expenses. The net loss also includes an increase in professional fees on account of an increase in compliance expenses as well as increases in compensation, employee benefits, marketing, and insurance.

Q3 2023 Nine Month Financial Results

For the nine month period ended September 30, 2023, total revenue increased to $13.1 million, compared to $5.9 million in the prior year period, primarily due to higher investment and loan interest income and higher deposit, activity and onboarding income.

First nine month 2023 operating expenses increased to $32.1 million, compared to $4.2 million in the prior year period. The increase in operating expenses is due to increased compensation and employee benefits on account of stock-based compensation and also the increase in the head count in anticipation of growth. General and administrative expenses increased across various categories including: i) approximately $746,080 in investment hosting fees as a result of the reorganization, ii) approximately $93,393 in increased marketing expense as we focus on growth, iii) approximately $1,082,959 in amortization and depreciation, and iv) approximately $533,630 in business insurance. Professional services expense increased primarily due to the increase in the legal fees, audit fees, and consulting fees towards SEC filing and other ancillary reporting. There was a $13.2 million impairment of goodwill and a $3.7 million finite-lived intangible assets on account of the termination of the Master Services and Revenue Sharing Agreement with Central Bank under which the Company provided expertise and intellectual property to cannabis related businesses primarily located in Arkansas. The provision for credit losses increased due to an increase in the loss rate and with an increase in the absolute value of the loans.

Net loss for the first nine months of 2023 was $19.8 million, compared to net income of $1.9 million in the prior year period, primarily due to an increase in compensation and employee benefits as well as an increase in general and administrative expenses. The net loss also includes an increase in professional fees on account of increases in compliances expenses as well as increases in compensation, employee benefits, marketing, and insurance.

Safe Harbor Financial discloses EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, both of which are non-GAAP financial measures and are calculated as net income before taxes and depreciation and amortization expense in the case of EBITDA and further adjusted to exclude non-cash, unusual and/or infrequent costs in the case of Adjusted EBITDA. Management of the Company uses this information in evaluating period over period performance because it believes it presents an important metric regarding the Company’s ongoing operating performance.   Investors should consider non-GAAP financial measures only as a supplement to, not as a substitute for or as superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Forward-Looking Statements
Certain statements contained in this press release constitute "forward-looking statements'' within the meaning of federal securities laws. Forward-looking statements may include, but are not limited to, statements with respect to trends in the cannabis industry, including proposed changes in U.S and state laws, rules, regulations and guidance relating to Safe Harbor's services; Safe Harbor's growth prospects and Safe Harbor's market size; Safe Harbor's projected financial and operational performance, including relative to its competitors; new product and service offerings Safe Harbor may introduce in the future; the impact of recent volatility in the capital markets, which may adversely affect the price of the Company's securities; the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against Safe Harbor; other statements regarding Safe Harbor's expectations, hopes, beliefs, intentions or strategies regarding the future; and the other risk factors discussed in Safe Harbor's filings from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission. In addition, any statements that refer to projections, forecasts or other characterizations of future events or circumstances, including any underlying assumptions, are forward-looking statements. The words "anticipate," "believe," "continue," "could," "estimate," "expect," "intends," "outlook," "may," "might," "plan," "possible," "potential," "predict," "project," "should," "would," and similar expressions may identify forward-looking statements, but the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking. Forward-looking statements are predictions, projections and other statements about future events that are based on current expectations and assumptions and, as a result, are subject, are subject to risks and uncertainties. These forward-looking statements involve a number of risks and uncertainties (some of which are beyond the control of Safe Harbor), and other assumptions, that may cause the actual results or performance to be materially different from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements.   . We discuss these risks in greater detail in the sections entitled “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K and, as applicable, in our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q filed with the SEC. Given these uncertainties, you should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements.   Except as required by law, we assume no obligation to update these forward-looking statements, or to update the reasons actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements, even if new information becomes available in the future.
