Dallas, TX, March 19, 2025 – SWK Holdings Corporation (Nasdaq: SWKH) (“SWK” or the “Company”), a life science-focused specialty finance company catering to small- and mid-sized commercial-stage companies, today provided a business update and announced its financial and operating results for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2024.
"For the fourth quarter 2024, SWK’s core Finance Receivables segment reported an 11.6% increase in revenue to $10.3 million compared to the same period in the prior year. SWK’s finance segment generated $8.2 million of pre-tax GAAP net income and $6.2 million of adjusted non-GAAP net income.
SWK CEO Jody Staggs said "During the fourth quarter, we closed an up to $8.0 million term loan with Triple Ring and expanded our credit facility with Eton to $30.0 million. In February 2025, we closed a $15.0 million financing commitment with Impedimed.
Mr. Staggs added, “Improved operating results and capital raises at multiple borrowers combined with the conclusion of three workouts has led to our highest loan portfolio risk scoring since we have tracked the metric. The strength of our loan portfolio coupled with the monetization of our performing royalty portfolio at a slight premium to book value underpin the $21.15 of non-GAAP tangible financing book value per share, which excludes any value from our Enteris subsidiary. During the fourth quarter and year-to-date we have returned value to shareholders through our ongoing stock buyback program and anticipate declaring a dividend upon the closing of the final royalty monetization transaction, which is expected over the next two weeks”


Fourth Quarter 2024 Financial Results
For the fourth quarter 2024, SWK reported total revenue of $12.4 million, a 25.0% increase compared to $9.9 million for the fourth quarter 2023. The $2.5 million increase in revenue for the three months ended December 31, 2024 mainly consisted of a $1.1 million increase in Finance Receivables segment revenue and a $1.4 million increase in Pharmaceutical Development segment revenue.
Income before income tax expense for the quarter was $8.6 million and $0.6 million for the three months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Fourth quarter 2024 income before income tax expense benefited from a $2.5 million increase in consolidated revenue from interest and fees earned due to funding new loans and early loan payoffs, $2.2 million of unrealized gains on warrants, a $1.1 million gain on the extinguishment of the FC2 royalty, a $0.4 million decrease in the provision for credit losses, and a reduction of depreciation and amortization expense of $0.4 million.


GAAP net income for the quarter ended December 31, 2024, increased to $5.9 million, or $0.48 per diluted share, from $2.8 million, or $0.23 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter 2023.
For the fourth quarter 2024, non-GAAP adjusted net income was $6.6 million, or $0.54 per share. Non-GAAP adjusted net income for the Finance Receivables segment was $6.2 million, an increase from $3.7 million for the fourth quarter 2023.
Total investment assets (defined as finance receivables, marketable investments, and warrant assets less the allowance for credit losses) were $282.7 million as of December 31, 2024, a 2.3% increase compared with total investment assets of $276.3 million as of December 31, 2023. The allowance for credit losses at quarter’s end totaled $11.2 million, a decrease of $2.7 million from the fourth quarter of 2023 driven by the conclusion of three workouts as well as the repayment of financing receivables partially offset by the origination of new finance receivables.
GAAP book value per share was $23.45 as of December 31, 2024, a 5.0% increase compared to $22.33 as of December 31, 2023. Non-GAAP tangible financing book value per share totaled $21.15, an 8.3% increase compared to $19.53 at December 31, 2023. Management views non-GAAP tangible financing book value per share as a relevant metric to value the Company’s core finance receivable business. Non-GAAP tangible financing book value per share removes the value of the deferred tax assets and Enteris net asset value.
Portfolio Status
During the fourth quarter, SWK closed a term loan with Triple Ring totaling $8.0 million, expanded the credit facility with Eton to $30.0 million, advanced $5.0 million to existing borrower Journey Medical, $2.5 million to existing borrower SKNV, $2.5 million to existing borrower MedMinder, and $0.6 million to existing borrower Biotricity. During the first quarter of 2025, SWK closed a $15.0 million financing agreement with Impedimed.
During the fourth quarter, Veru made a $4.2 million payment to extinguish the FC2 residual royalty and in January 2025 Moleculight made a final payment to SWK totaling $12.2 million, fully satisfying its outstanding obligation. In March 2025, ANI Pharmaceuticals exercised a buyout option on the Iluvien royalty by making a $17.25 million payment to SWK.
During the fourth quarter, SWK received a $13.0 million payment from the Biolase bankruptcy estate and in February 2025 SWK received an additional $1.0 million. SWK may receive a final distribution from the Biolase bankruptcy estate, however, given uncertainty of the likelihood and amount of any distribution, as of December 31, 2024 SWK wrote-off the remaining Biolase finance receivable. In the fourth quarter SWK received a $3.4 million net payment from Exeevo and in the first quarter of 2025 SWK received additional net payments towards the Exeevo loan totaling $1.2 million. During the fourth quarter SWK received a $1.9 million payment from Trio Healthcare. SWK has no remaining balance sheet exposure to Biolase, Exeevo, or Trio Healthcare.
The fourth quarter 2024 effective yield was 15.5%, a 150 basis points increase from 14.0% in fourth quarter 2023. The effective yield is the rate at which income is expected to be recognized if payments are received pursuant to the terms of the finance receivables. The fourth quarter 2024 realized yield was 14.7%, a 60 basis point increase from 14.1% in fourth quarter 2023. The realized yield is inclusive of all fees, including all realized unamortized fees, amendment fees, and prepayment fees, and is calculated based on the simple average of finance receivables at the beginning and end of the period. The realized yield may differ from the effective yield due to actual cash collections being greater or lesser than modeled.
As of December 31, 2024, the Company had three finance receivables in nonaccrual status: (1) the Flowonix Medical, Inc. (“Flowonix”) royalty, with a carrying value of $8.4 million; (2) the Ideal Implant, Inc. (“Ideal”) royalty, with a carrying value of $3.1 million; and (3) the Best ABT, Inc. (“Best”) royalty, with a carrying value of $2.3 million.
As of December 31, 2024, the Company had $5.8 million of unfunded commitments.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This release includes non-GAAP adjusted net income, non-GAAP finance receivable segment net income, and non-GAAP tangible financing book value per share, which are metrics that are not compliant with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP).
Non-GAAP adjusted net income is adjusted for certain items (including (i) changes in the fair-market value of public equity-related assets and SWK’s warrant assets as mark-to-market changes are non-cash, (ii) income taxes as the Company has substantial net operating losses to offset against future income, (iii) changes in the fair-market value of contingent consideration associated with the Enteris acquisition as these changes are non-cash, and (iv) depreciation and amortization expenses, primarily associated with the Enteris acquisition.
In addition to the adjustments noted above, non-GAAP finance receivable segment net income also excludes Enteris operating losses.
Non-GAAP tangible financing book value per share excludes the deferred tax asset, intangible assets, goodwill, Enteris PP&E, and contingent consideration associated with the Enteris transaction. 
These non-GAAP measures may not be directly comparable to similar measures used by other companies in the Company's industry, as other companies may define such measures differently. Management believes that these measures are useful to investors and management in understanding our ongoing operations and in analysis of ongoing operating trends and provides useful additional information relating to our operations and financial condition. The Company encourages investors to carefully consider its results under GAAP, as well as its supplemental non-GAAP information and the reconciliation between these presentations, to better understand its business. Non-GAAP financial results are reported in addition to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. Further, non-GAAP financial measures, even if similarly titled, may not be calculated in the same manner by all companies, and therefore should not be compared.
