To keep this article on the manageable side, we suggest reviewing our August 29 writeup onNewtek (NEWT).
That piece describes the company’s longer-term history – including how it converted to a business development company (BDC) in 2014 – and its more recent plans to convert again, this time to a bank. It’s conclusion was:
“The stock isn’t terribly inexpensive, but the recent selloff was a blessing for those looking to initiate a position in the stock. Investors expecting the company to remain a BDC are best suited to look for an entry point closer to $25.”
As you can see below, the actual company’s news from that summer day hasn’t been well-received.
Yahoo Finance
Yet, over the last two years, NEWT is up 10{ac23b82de22bd478cde2a3afa9e55fd5f696f5668b46466ac4c8be2ee1b69550} over the S&P 500 index. And it’s up nearly 35{ac23b82de22bd478cde2a3afa9e55fd5f696f5668b46466ac4c8be2ee1b69550} against benchmarks like the VanEck BDC Income ETF (BIZD).
Not including dividends.
So let’s factor in Newtek’s $2.60 dividend and 9.7{ac23b82de22bd478cde2a3afa9e55fd5f696f5668b46466ac4c8be2ee1b69550} current yield for the past two years. When we do, we find this small-cap BDC has actually beaten the S&P 500 by well over 25{ac23b82de22bd478cde2a3afa9e55fd5f696f5668b46466ac4c8be2ee1b69550}.
That’s including the drop from about $35 per share to current levels around $27.
NEWT Q3-21 Earnings Presentation
So…
NEWT has recovered from its unarguably steep fall after announcing it was switching from a BDC to a bank. Yet it’s also outperformed the broader equity markets significantly… and BDC benchmarks by an even greater degree.
As it stands now, we have an opportunity to once again take advantage of confusion and uncertainty. Let’s explore how and why…
Newtek Business Service’s Cash Flow and Dividend
Right now, Newtek is priced as a growth company. So let’s ensure that story makes sense.
The company is scheduled to release its Q4 earnings on February 24. Since we’re not there yet, we need to use data from the rest of 2021 – that and anticipations about future quarters – to base our valuation on.
We also have to acknowledge that it spent Q3 refocusing on SBA loans and away from the temporary – albeit profitable – PPP loans. The same was likely true in Q4 as well.
Plus, we know NEWT’s core business is loaning money to small businesses via Small Business Administration (SBA) program loans. So let’s start there.
The for-now BDC funded $163.9 million in SBA 7(A) loans in Q3. This represents extraordinary 1,160.8{ac23b82de22bd478cde2a3afa9e55fd5f696f5668b46466ac4c8be2ee1b69550} growth year-over-year and 43.4{ac23b82de22bd478cde2a3afa9e55fd5f696f5668b46466ac4c8be2ee1b69550} over Q3-19’s $114.3 million.
Of course, we want to eliminate the chance of cherry-picking, so let’s consider longer timeframes as well.
NEWT funded $326.6 million in SBA 7(A) loans in the first three quarters of 2021 – a 336.3{ac23b82de22bd478cde2a3afa9e55fd5f696f5668b46466ac4c8be2ee1b69550} increase over the same period in 2020. It’s also an 8.3{ac23b82de22bd478cde2a3afa9e55fd5f696f5668b46466ac4c8be2ee1b69550} jump from the same period in 2019.
Obviously, those numbers aren’t quite as dramatic. But they still paint a similarly positive picture. Which means NEWT is generating near double-digit growth compared to any previous period.
Next up, let’s consider expectations for what the fourth quarter produced.
As of October 2021, NEWT’s division responsible for these lending activities – Newtek Small Business Finance, LLC (NSBF) – had $102 million in SBA 7(A) loans approved pending closing.
That’s a record for a single month. If it maintained that pace through December, it would fund as many loans in Q4 as the rest of 2021 combined.
Admittedly, that’s a little beyond our expectations. But October’s number does provide strong support for the growth story nonetheless.
So does the company’s own Q3 earnings release. That’s where we learned it increased its full-year loan funding forecast to between $560 million and $600 million.
Cash Flow and Dividend Continued…
Now that we have a foundation to work from, let’s see the combined numbers:
NEWT Q3-1 Investor Presentation
As we highlighted above in green, 2020 was unsurprisingly mixed versus 2019. But 2021 demonstrated very strong growth in all three loan types.
As equity analysts, it can be far too easy to lose sight of how companies work on a day-to-day basis. In NEWT’s case, many of its loans are driven by simple referrals.
The firm keeps track of this data, which is worth paying attention to. In Q3-21, for example, NEWT received 72,747 loan referrals compared to 12,883 in the same quarter of pre-pandemic 2019.
Again, this begs the question of whether Q3 2021 was an anomaly. Yet we know it wasn’t because NEWT received 367,502 loan referrals for the first three quarters of 2021 compared to 42,609 in the same period of 2019.
Better yet, this should continue with the right management considering the larger industry’s trend. The SBA funded $44.8 billion in loans in fiscal-year 2021 – in addition to the $1 trillion in Covid-related programs.
2021 was far and away a record year for the SBA.
NEWT Q3 Earnings Presentation
It’s a trend that NEWT has embraced by rapidly expanding its lending staff in recent quarters. Which seems to be working for it.
Now, NEWT did generate $12.4 million in Q3-21, which was a 16.7{ac23b82de22bd478cde2a3afa9e55fd5f696f5668b46466ac4c8be2ee1b69550} year-over-year decrease. But adjusted net investment income (ANII) – an imperfect metric but still the best to measure NEWT’s dividend-paying capacity in our view – was $0.56 per share.
That’s a 1,300{ac23b82de22bd478cde2a3afa9e55fd5f696f5668b46466ac4c8be2ee1b69550} jump over Q3-20.
Since that’s another huge number, let’s look at a few other quarters of comparable data. Like how Q2 ANII was $27 million, or $1.20 per share.
Significant though that quarter’s cash flow generation was, it was down by 12.4{ac23b82de22bd478cde2a3afa9e55fd5f696f5668b46466ac4c8be2ee1b69550} compared to Q2-20’s $1.37.
One of the most common mistakes WER sees in general – and particularly with NEWT – is that investors focus on a single quarter’s financials without proper context. That’s why we want to recognize how volatile quarterly data can be.
That and stress the importance of focusing on underlying business drivers over the longer term.
Moving on to Newtek’s Balance Sheet and Risk
NEWT’s leverage at the end of Q2 was 1.16x, or 1.24x before accounting for certain transactions. Compare that to Q3-21’s 1.24x pro forma… while also recognizing its 11.7{ac23b82de22bd478cde2a3afa9e55fd5f696f5668b46466ac4c8be2ee1b69550} year-over-year portfolio expansion to $712.5 million.
NEWT’s net asset value (‘NAV’) per share has not been overly volatile. It finished Q3 at $16.23 compared to $15.45 as of the end of 2020. Given how it’s historically traded at about a 2x multiple, that kind of 5{ac23b82de22bd478cde2a3afa9e55fd5f696f5668b46466ac4c8be2ee1b69550} growth typically translates into 10{ac23b82de22bd478cde2a3afa9e55fd5f696f5668b46466ac4c8be2ee1b69550} gains in the stock price.
BDCs in general handled 2020’s challenges well. And the higher-quality firms – which includes NEWT – handled them exceptionally well.
That was in part because the whole industry entered 2020 with extremely favorable diversifications and low leverage. Those are factors we’ve discussed many times in our BDC articles on iREIT on Alpha.
NEWT in particular was increasing dividends throughout the pandemic. The same goes for the current uncertainty surrounding its business model.
For the record, that uncertainty is warranted. But it should be evaluated in the context of a management team that’s been growing the business while managing risk for nearly 20 years.
NEWT was in position to – and in fact did – benefit from one of the toughest economic climates for small businesses in U.S. history. That doesn’t guarantee anything about the future, of course, but it is worth keeping in mind.
Then again, speaking of the future, investors should probably expect continued share price volatility until its bank conversion later this year.
The Question of Newtek’s Valuation
ANII grew 74.5{ac23b82de22bd478cde2a3afa9e55fd5f696f5668b46466ac4c8be2ee1b69550} to $2.81 per share in the first three quarters of 2021 compared to the same period in 2020. Looking back to the first three quarters of 2019, that figure was $31.5 million, or $1.65 per share.
So, no matter how you slice it, NEWT has been growing its portfolio, cash flow, and dividends by double-digit rates for multiple years.
Based on the latest information – much of which is derived from an excellent interview Brad himself conducted with NEWT’s CEO, Barry Sloane – NEWT’s desired conversion to a bank holding company is likely to land at the far end of its initial 6-12 month projected timeline.
That means we should expect at least another two quarters of NEWT functioning as a BDC, including with its distribution policy. Q1’s anticipated distribution is $0.65 and $2.60 for the year.
Confusion in the marketplace has, in our opinion, caused NEWT to trade unfairly down.
Many banks that could be potential peers to its upcoming bank version trade at 3x-6x book value. SoFi (SOFI) and Lending Club (LC), for example, aren’t identical but could still pass for competitors. They trade at the lower end of that despite paying no dividends and generating far less consistent earnings.
If we apply that range to NEWT, it should be trading at $48.12 per share. And the higher end equates to $96.24.
Or we could compare it to other high-quality internally managed BDC peers. If we assume $2.60 per share in annual dividends, NEWT trades with a sky-high 9.9{ac23b82de22bd478cde2a3afa9e55fd5f696f5668b46466ac4c8be2ee1b69550} yield at today’s stock price around $26.15.
Main Street Capital, meanwhile, has a base dividend yield of 5.9{ac23b82de22bd478cde2a3afa9e55fd5f696f5668b46466ac4c8be2ee1b69550}. (MAIN often pays special dividends that close some of the gap to NEWT.) And Capital Southwest Corporation (CSWC), another internally managed BDC, trades with a 7.5{ac23b82de22bd478cde2a3afa9e55fd5f696f5668b46466ac4c8be2ee1b69550} yield today.
But NEWT is clearly the standout value in this category.
In Conclusion…
What about premium or discount to the net portfolio value?
MAIN’s estimated end-of-2021 book value per share of $22.37 means it currently trades at a 92.5{ac23b82de22bd478cde2a3afa9e55fd5f696f5668b46466ac4c8be2ee1b69550} premium. And Capital Southwest’s current metric is 59.3{ac23b82de22bd478cde2a3afa9e55fd5f696f5668b46466ac4c8be2ee1b69550}.
NEWT’s premium, for its part, is roughly the same at 62{ac23b82de22bd478cde2a3afa9e55fd5f696f5668b46466ac4c8be2ee1b69550}. But it generates considerably more cash flow on one dollar of assets compared to Capital Southwest.
That’s demonstrated by how NEWT’s dividend with similar coverage ratios is over 30{ac23b82de22bd478cde2a3afa9e55fd5f696f5668b46466ac4c8be2ee1b69550} higher than Capital Southwest’s despite it trading at a slightly lower premium.
In our view, NEWT easily earns its 60{ac23b82de22bd478cde2a3afa9e55fd5f696f5668b46466ac4c8be2ee1b69550} premium. We believe 75{ac23b82de22bd478cde2a3afa9e55fd5f696f5668b46466ac4c8be2ee1b69550}-85{ac23b82de22bd478cde2a3afa9e55fd5f696f5668b46466ac4c8be2ee1b69550} is more appropriate based on its fundamentals – if classified as a BDC. That equates to a BDC share price of $28.20 to $29.70 using today’s financials… and closer to $29-$30.50 based on where NEWT’s book value is anticipated to land in the first half of this year.
Those are the minimum share values that make sense to us.
As we did in mid-2021,we’d start to trim around $35 per share using BDC fundamentals. Unless NEWT delivers better-than-expected results in the interim, that is.
Once NEWT converts to a bank, however, its shares’ marketability changes dramatically.
It’s safe to assume some high-yield income retail investors have already abandoned ship. But it’s equally reasonable to expect a wide swath of institutional investors previously uninterested in NEWT to consider making an investment.
It’s hard to tell at this point. But there isn’t a situation we can come up with where the company trades at a lower premium to book value than it does today.
Even banks with no cash earnings and total dependence on share issuance trade at far greater multiples right now.
FAST Graphs
In short, NEWT’s near double-digit yield and at least reasonable valuation bring us to the conclusion that shares are currently attractively priced….
My oh My, yet another Strong Buy!

Illinois — Taxes are elaborate, and for little-organization entrepreneurs, freelancers and people with aspect gigs, they are even far more complicated – specifically now, as filers reckon with the tax consequences of smaller-enterprise aid packages and rule changes.
The video clip showcased is from a previous report.
But all those new twists and turns can create some tax-preserving alternatives, according to three tax execs. Listed here are 7 matters they say business owners and independent personnel can do to lower their tax charges and their stress this submitting season and in the calendar year ahead.
1. You should not SWEAT THAT PPP Money
If your organization gained a mortgage through the Paycheck Defense Software, or PPP, and you experienced for forgiveness, the IRS typically isn’t going to contemplate the funds aspect of your gross profits. In addition, on your federal tax return, it can be normally Ok to deduct the organization expenses that you paid with the personal loan cash.

“The IRS has been crystal clear,” claims Meredith Tucker, who qualified prospects the Entrepreneurial Expert services Group at accounting agency Kaufman Rossin in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
Condition-level tax policies may have a different stance on PPP taxability, even so, so be absolutely sure to seek the advice of with a qualified tax professional.
2. Consume UP
For 2021 and 2022, the company foods deduction is up from 50{ac23b82de22bd478cde2a3afa9e55fd5f696f5668b46466ac4c8be2ee1b69550} to 100{ac23b82de22bd478cde2a3afa9e55fd5f696f5668b46466ac4c8be2ee1b69550} if the food and drinks are from a restaurant .”That can include takeout and supply. It isn’t going to have to be eaten on the premises,” suggests Mark Luscombe, who is a federal tax analyst for Wolters Kluwer Tax & Accounting.
But make positive you are having your business enterprise meals from a restaurant. “You can not get a deli tray from a grocery shop and have it qualify,” he adds.
3. Check out THAT ODOMETER
If you’re self-employed, you can get a tax deduction for each individual mile you push for company applications. In 2021, the price was 56 cents per mile, and in 2022, the level rose to 58.5 cents for every mile. That suggests a 20-mile vacation to satisfy a customer might rating a deduction of about $12 this tax year.
But you should not guess in this article the IRS might inquire you to substantiate your mileage. “The crucial thing, in particular if you really don’t have an distinctive car or truck employed just for firms, is to retain a log,” Luscombe suggests.
4. CAPITALIZE ON Distinctive RETIREMENT Alternatives
There are unique tax breaks for retirement financial savings if you get the job done for on your own. Solo 401(k)s, also called one-participant 401(k)s , are a person example of IRS-blessed retirement accounts built for self-utilized persons. They mimic quite a few of the characteristics of an employer-sponsored 401(k), which includes being able to sock income away pretax.
SEP IRAs are a further choice, and you have far more time to contribute – primarily if you get a tax extension, Tucker states. “You can choose the deduction on your 2021 taxes and not truly have to fund the retirement account right until the extended thanks day of the return, which could be in September, Oct,” she claims.
5. Appear AT What is Sitting IN YOUR Property Business office
The house office environment deduction is a popular way to get a tax crack on rent, utilities and other home-related expenses , but a property office environment can make other tax breaks, much too. If you commandeered an aged desk, laptop or computer or chair in 2021 for your property office and you haven’t previously claimed it as a business price, you may be in a position to deduct its present-day current market worth, suggests Sean DiMercurio, a licensed community accountant at DiMercurio Advisors in Orlando, Florida.
For case in point, if you purchased a laptop for $3,000 two several years back and now it’s worthy of $1,250, you may well be equipped to assert a $1,250 deduction if you begun using that laptop computer for your business this 12 months, he says. “This is some thing that is usually missed by this team of taxpayers and is totally authorized,” DiMercurio states. Be positive you have the receipts or proof of the original order, he provides.
6. GET Completely ready NOW FOR NEW PAPERWORK IN 2022
Self-utilized men and women previously get a Form 1099-NEC from customers who pay them at the very least $600 a year, but if these shoppers are utilizing Venmo, PayPal or comparable payment system to send out the revenue, yet another tax variety might get started showing up for 2022.
Similar: Tax guidelines: In-human being tax assistance session to be held at downtown Chicago IRS place of work
“They’re likely to get a 1099-NEC from the individual they did impartial contractor do the job for , and then from the payment processor – if it was paid out by credit rating card or some digital usually means – they are also going to get a 1099-K for the identical transaction ,” Luscombe states.
That means small-business enterprise house owners will have to have to be added arranged in 2022. “It’s likely to be a lot a lot more paper and sorting out – creating sure you happen to be not double-reporting revenue, too,” he suggests.
7. BE Really serious ABOUT BOOKKEEPING
“If you’re eating, sleeping, consuming or wondering about your business, chances are what you happen to be accomplishing is tax-deductible,” DiMercurio suggests. Even a couple of cups of espresso can be tax-deductible below the ideal conditions, and it can add up to significant cash in tax savings, he states.
But be absolutely sure to hold receipts and use accounting software so you have superior data. Also, don’t extend the reality. Tax evasion is a felony. “If you won’t be able to make the argument for a deduction or a credit score without the need of laughing … odds are it truly is not actually a superior just one,” Tucker claims.

Starting off a residence-based organization seemed relatively foreign for business owners in the several years just before the pandemic. As millions ended up forced into lockdown, entrepreneurs equally younger and previous identified that setting up a company from their house can be a lot more functional, and economically useful.
