PATHWARD FINANCIAL, INC. ANNOUNCES PRELIMINARY RESULTS FOR 2025 FISCAL THIRD QUARTER

Sioux Falls, S.D., July 28, 2025 - Pathward Financial, Inc. (“Pathward Financial” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: CASH) reported net income of $42.1 million, or $1.81 per share, for the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to net income of $44.9 million, or $1.78 per share, for the three months ended June 30, 2024.
CEO Brett Pharr said, “We are encouraged by the results achieved in the third quarter, as they represent another quarter where we have successfully executed on our strategy and generated shareholder value. We have made progress on many fronts, and I am incredibly proud of what our team has been able to accomplish over the past nine months. Being the trusted platform that enables our partners to thrive remains our main focus, and we are working to deliver solutions for our clients."
As previously disclosed, the Company plans to amend its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2024 to restate certain financial statements included therein and its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended December 31, 2024 to reflect restatement adjustments, after which the Company expects to file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2025. The restatements are due to errors related to the Company’s gross vs. net basis presentation and derivative accounting, and financial reporting, of certain third-party lending and servicing relationships within the Credit Solutions business, within held-for-investment loan balances. While the Company works diligently to complete the restatement process, the Company is providing the preliminary results for the 2025 fiscal third quarter contained in this release. These results, for all periods presented, reflect the updated gross basis accounting methodology for the affected third-party lending and servicing arrangements. The Company’s actual results may differ materially from these preliminary financial results.
Financial Highlights for the 2025 Fiscal Third Quarter
•Total revenue for the third quarter was $195.8 million, an increase of $7.1 million, or 4%, compared to the same quarter in fiscal 2024, driven by an increase in noninterest income.
•Net interest margin ("NIM") increased 17 basis points to 7.43% for the third quarter from 7.26% during the same period last year, primarily driven by an improved earning asset mix from the continued balance sheet optimization. When including contractual, rate-related processing expenses associated with deposits on the Company's balance sheet, NIM would have been 5.98% in the fiscal 2025 third quarter compared to 5.76% during the fiscal 2024 third quarter. See non-GAAP reconciliation table below.
•Total gross loans and leases at June 30, 2025 increased $127.7 million to $4.74 billion compared to June 30, 2024 and increased $278.5 million when compared to March 31, 2025. When excluding the insurance premium finance loans, which were sold during the first quarter of fiscal 2025, of $620.1 million at June 30, 2024, total gross loans and leases at June 30, 2025 increased $747.8 million, or 19%, when compared to June 30, 2024.
•During the 2025 fiscal third quarter, the Company repurchased 603,780 shares of common stock at an average share price of $74.49. As of June 30, 2025, there were 5,118,556 shares available for repurchase under the current common stock share repurchase program.

Tax Season
For the nine months ended June 30, 2025, total tax services product revenue was $95.2 million, an increase of 16% compared to the same period of the prior year. The increase in revenue was driven by increases in tax product fee income, refund advance fee income, and tax services net interest income.
Provision for credit losses for the tax services portfolio decreased $0.5 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2025 when compared to the same period of the prior year, due to improvements in data analytics, underwriting and monitoring.
Total tax services product income, net of losses and direct product expenses, increased 27% to $59.8 million from $47.1 million, when comparing the first nine months of fiscal 2025 to the same period of the prior fiscal year.
Net Interest Income
Net interest income for the third quarter of fiscal 2025 was $122.3 million, as compared to $122.8 million for the same quarter in fiscal 2024.
The Company’s average interest-earning assets for the third quarter of fiscal 2025 decreased by $199.6 million to $6.60 billion compared to the same quarter in fiscal 2024, due to decreases in average outstanding balances in total investment securities balances, partially offset by increases in total loan and lease balances and interest earning cash balances. The third quarter average outstanding balance of loans and leases increased $169.6 million compared to the same quarter of the prior fiscal year, due to an increase in the warehouse finance portfolio, partially offset by decreases in the commercial finance, consumer finance, and tax services portfolios. The decrease in the average outstanding balance of commercial finance loans and leases was primarily driven by the sale of the insurance premium finance loans during the first quarter of fiscal year 2025.
Fiscal 2025 third quarter NIM increased to 7.43% from 7.26% in the third fiscal quarter of 2024. When including contractual, rate-related processing expenses associated with deposits on the Company's balance sheet, NIM would have been 5.98% in the third quarter compared to 5.76% during the fiscal 2024 third quarter. See non-GAAP reconciliation table below. The overall reported tax-equivalent yield (“TEY”) on average interest-earning assets increased 7 basis points to 7.52% compared to the prior year quarter, driven by an improved earning asset mix. The yield on the loan and lease portfolio was 9.33% compared to 9.62% for the comparable period last year and the TEY on the securities portfolio was 3.10% compared to 3.16% over that same period.
The Company's cost of funds for all deposits and borrowings averaged 0.08% during the fiscal 2025 third quarter, as compared to 0.20% during the prior year quarter. The Company's overall cost of deposits was 0.02% in the fiscal third quarter of 2025, as compared to 0.11% during the prior year quarter. When including contractual, rate-related processing expenses associated with deposits on the Company's balance sheet, the Company's overall cost of deposits was 1.61% in the fiscal 2025 third quarter, as compared to 1.74% during the prior year quarter. See non-GAAP reconciliation table below.
Noninterest Income
Fiscal 2025 third quarter noninterest income increased 11% to $73.4 million, compared to $65.9 million for the same period of the prior year. The increase in noninterest income when comparing the current period to the same period of the prior year was primarily driven by secondary market revenue, card and deposit fees, and total tax services product fee income, partially offset by reductions in gain on sale of other and rental income.
Included in card and deposit fees is servicing fee income on custodial deposits, which totaled $7.9 million during the 2025 fiscal third quarter, compared to $8.6 million for the same period of the prior year. For the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2025, servicing fee income on custodial deposits totaled $6.5 million. The period-over-period decrease in servicing fee income on deposit balances held at partner banks was primarily due to a reduction in rates following reductions in the Effective Federal Funds Rate ("EFFR"). The sequential quarter increase in servicing fee income was due to an increase in custodial deposits.

2

Noninterest Expense
Noninterest expense increased 11% to $139.3 million for the fiscal 2025 third quarter, from $125.5 million for the same quarter last year. The increase was primarily attributable to increases in legal and consulting expense, other expense, card processing expense, occupancy and equipment expense, and operating lease equipment depreciation expense.
Card processing expense is primarily driven by rate-related agreements with Partner Solutions relationships. The amount of expense paid under those agreements is based on an agreed upon rate index that varies depending on the deposit levels, floor rates, market conditions, and other performance conditions. Generally, this rate index is based on a percentage of the EFFR and reprices immediately upon a change in the EFFR. Approximately 62% of the deposit portfolio was subject to these rate-related processing expenses during the fiscal 2025 third quarter. For the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2025, contractual, rate-related processing expenses were $25.1 million, as compared to $28.4 million for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2025, and $27.6 million for the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2024.
Income Tax Expense
The Company recorded an income tax expense of $4.8 million, representing an effective tax rate of 10.2%, for the fiscal 2025 third quarter, compared to an income tax expense of $6.1 million, representing an effective tax rate of 11.9%, for the third quarter last fiscal year. The current quarter decrease in income tax expense compared to the prior year quarter was primarily due to a decrease in income.
The Company originated $2.1 million in renewable energy leases during the fiscal 2025 third quarter, resulting in $0.2 million in total net investment tax credits. During the third quarter of fiscal 2024, the Company originated $4.3 million in renewable energy leases resulting in $1.2 million in total net investment tax credits. For the nine months ended June 30, 2025, the Company originated $13.3 million in renewable energy leases, compared to $42.1 million for the comparable prior year period. Investment tax credits related to renewable energy leases are recognized ratably based on income throughout each fiscal year.

The Company's investment security balances at June 30, 2025 totaled $1.40 billion, as compared to $1.44 billion at March 31, 2025 and $1.76 billion at June 30, 2024. The year-over-year decrease was primarily related to the sale of investment securities available for sale during both the first and second quarters of fiscal 2025.
Total gross loans and leases totaled $4.74 billion at June 30, 2025, as compared to $4.46 billion at March 31, 2025 and $4.62 billion at June 30, 2024. The drivers for the sequential increase were increases in the commercial finance and warehouse finance portfolios, partially offset by decreases in the consumer finance and the seasonal tax services portfolios. The year-over-year increase was due to an increase in the warehouse finance portfolio, partially offset by decreases in the commercial finance, consumer finance, and seasonal tax services portfolios. When excluding the insurance premium finance loans, which were sold during the first quarter of fiscal 2025, of $620.1 million at June 30, 2024, total gross loans and leases at June 30, 2025 increased $747.8 million, or 19%, when compared to June 30, 2024.
Commercial finance loans, which comprised 80% of the Company's loan and lease portfolio, totaled $3.82 billion at June 30, 2025, reflecting an increase of $293.3 million, or 8%, from March 31, 2025 and a decrease of $45.2 million, or 1%, from June 30, 2024. The sequential increase was primarily driven by increases of $237.3 million in term lending loans and $68.3 million in asset-based lending, partially offset by a decrease of $26.8 million in SBA/USDA. The year-over-year decrease was primarily related to the sale of insurance premium finance loans during the first quarter of fiscal 2025 and a decrease of $109.7 million in factoring loans, partially offset by increases of $470.0 million in term lending, $137.6 million in asset-based lending, and $111.2 million in SBA/USDA. When excluding the insurance premium finance loans of $620.1 million at June 30, 2024, commercial finance loans at June 30, 2025 increased by $574.9 million when compared to June 30, 2024.

Asset Quality
The Company’s allowance for credit losses ("ACL") totaled $106.0 million at June 30, 2025, an increase compared to $102.9 million at March 31, 2025 and a decrease compared to $106.8 million at June 30, 2024. The increase in the ACL at June 30, 2025, when compared to March 31, 2025, was primarily due to a $9.6 million increase in the allowance related to the commercial finance portfolio, partially offset by a $3.1 million decrease in the allowance related to the consumer finance portfolio and a $3.3 million decrease in the allowance related to the seasonal tax services portfolio.
The $0.8 million year-over-year decrease in the ACL was primarily driven by a $6.1 million decrease in the allowance related to the consumer finance portfolio, partially offset by a $3.3 million increase in the commercial finance portfolio and a $1.8 million increase in the allowance related to the seasonal tax services portfolio.
The following table presents the Company's ACL as a percentage of its total loans and leases.

The Company recognized a provision for credit losses of $9.3 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2025, compared to $11.9 million for the comparable period in the prior fiscal year. The period-over-period decrease in provision for credit losses was primarily due to a $4.5 million decrease in provision for credit losses in the consumer finance portfolio and a $1.4 million decrease in the provision for credit losses in the seasonal tax services portfolio, partially offset by an increase in provision for credit losses in the commercial finance portfolio of $3.6 million. The Company recognized net charge-offs of $6.1 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2025, compared to net charge-offs of $16.2 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2024. Net charge-offs attributable to the consumer finance and commercial finance portfolios for the quarter ended June 30, 2025 were $5.8 million and $1.7 million, respectively, while net recoveries of $1.4 million were recognized in the seasonal tax services portfolio.

The Company's nonperforming assets at June 30, 2025 were $74.7 million, representing 1.03% of total assets, compared to $41.6 million, or 0.60% of total assets at March 31, 2025 and $46.3 million, or 0.62% of total assets at June 30, 2024.
The increase in the nonperforming assets as a percentage of total assets at June 30, 2025 compared to March 31, 2025, was driven by an increase in nonperforming loans in the commercial and consumer finance portfolios. When comparing the current period to the same period of the prior year, the increase was driven by an increase in nonperforming loans in the commercial finance portfolio, partially offset by a decrease in nonperforming loans in the consumer finance and seasonal tax services portfolio.
The Company's nonperforming loans and leases at June 30, 2025, were $71.3 million, representing 1.49% of total gross loans and leases, compared to $39.8 million, or 0.88% of total gross loans and leases at March 31, 2025 and $44.6 million, or 0.96% of total gross loans and leases at June 30, 2024.

Deposits, Borrowings and Other Liabilities
The average balance of total deposits and interest-bearing liabilities was $6.07 billion for the three-month period ended June 30, 2025, compared to $6.35 billion for the same period in the prior fiscal year. Total average deposits for the fiscal 2025 third quarter decreased by $258.4 million to $6.00 billion compared to the same period in fiscal 2024. The decrease in average deposits was primarily due to decreases in noninterest bearing and wholesale deposits.
Total end-of-period deposits decreased 7% to $6.01 billion at June 30, 2025, compared to $6.43 billion at June 30, 2024. The decrease in end-of-period deposits was primarily driven by decreases in noninterest-bearing deposits of $386.9 million, and wholesale deposits of $42.3 million, partially offset by an increase in interest bearing checking deposits of $8.6 million.
As of June 30, 2025, the Company managed $430.7 million of customer deposits at other banks in its capacity as custodian. These deposits provide the Company with the ability to earn servicing fee income, typically reflective of the EFFR. The sequential quarter decrease in these customer deposits held at other banks reflects normal seasonal patterns during the third quarter of the fiscal year.
Regulatory Capital
The Company and its subsidiary Pathward®, N.A. (the "Bank") remained above the federal regulatory minimum capital requirements at June 30, 2025, and continued to be classified as well-capitalized, and in good standing with its regulatory agencies.

(1) Tax rate used to arrive at the TEY for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 was 21%.
(2) Net interest margin expressed on a fully-taxable-equivalent basis ("net interest margin, tax-equivalent") is a non-GAAP financial measure. The tax-equivalent adjustment to net interest income recognizes the estimated income tax savings when comparing taxable and tax-exempt assets and adjusting for federal and state exemption of interest income. The Company believes that it is a standard practice in the banking industry to present net interest margin expressed on a fully taxable equivalent basis and, accordingly, believes the presentation of this non-GAAP financial measure may be useful for peer comparison purposes.
