Computed values are grepcent-computed from the verified facts above and may differ from ratios the company itself reports. Free cash flow = operating cash flow − capital expenditures. Net margin = net income ÷ revenue. Revenue YoY = FY2025 revenue ÷ FY2024 revenue − 1 (consecutive fiscal years only). ROE = net income ÷ period-end stockholders' equity.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

Forward-Looking Statements

The matters discussed in this report, as well as in future oral and written statements by Company management that are forward-looking statements, are based on current management expectations that involve substantial risks and uncertainties which could cause actual results to differ materially from the results expressed in, or implied by, these forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are not historical facts, but rather are based on current expectations, estimates and projections about us, our industry, our beliefs, and our assumptions. Words such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “expects,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “could,” “intends,” “target,” “projects,” “contemplates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “predicts,” “potential” or “continue” or the negative of these terms or variations of these words and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Important assumptions include our ability to originate new investments, achieve certain margins and levels of profitability, the availability of additional capital, and the ability to maintain certain debt to asset ratios. In light of these and other uncertainties, including recent economic and market events and declines in depositor confidence in certain types of depository institutions, the inclusion of a projection or forward-looking statement in this report should not be regarded as a representation by us that our plans or objectives will be achieved. The forward-looking statements contained in this report, including the documents we incorporate by reference, involve risks and uncertainties, including statements as to:

•our future operating results;

•our business prospects and the prospects of our subsidiaries;

•our contractual arrangements and relationships with third parties;

•the dependence of our future success on the general economy and its impact on the industries in which we and our borrowers operate;

•the ability of our business to achieve its objectives;

•the impact of a protracted decline in the liquidity of credit markets on our business;

•the adequacy of our cash resources and working capital;

•our ability to operate as a financial holding company and our ability to operate our subsidiary Newtek Bank, a national bank regulated and supervised by the OCC, and the increased compliance and other costs associated with such operations;

•our ability to adequately manage liquidity, deposits, capital levels and interest rate risk;

•our current intent to re-evaluate our business model, which will includes holding larger amounts of guaranteed portions of SBA 7(a) loans on our balance sheet and relying less on the income earned from the sale of guaranteed portions of SBA 7(a) loans in the secondary market, could negatively impact our revenues and business;

•the timing of cash flows, if any, from the operations of our subsidiaries;

These statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to risks, uncertainties, and other factors, some of which are beyond our control and difficult to predict and could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or forecasted in any and all of the forward-looking statements, including without limitation:

•an economic downturn, which could impair our subsidiaries’ ability to continue to operate or repay their borrowings, which could adversely affect our results;

•a contraction of available credit and/or an inability to access the equity markets could impair our lending and business activities;

•impacts to financial markets and the global macroeconomic and geopolitical environment, including higher inflation, tariffs and their impacts;

•higher interest rates and the impacts on macroeconomic conditions and our funding costs;

•changes to the SBA 7(a) loan program, including revisions to SBA Standard Operating Procedure (“SOP”), could materially and adversely affect Newtek Bank’s participation in the SBA 7(a) loan program and could negatively impact our revenues; and

•the risks, uncertainties and other factors we identify in “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this report and in our filings with the SEC, including the documents we incorporate by reference.

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and related notes and other financial information appearing elsewhere in this report. In addition to historical information, the following discussion and other parts of this report contain forward-looking information that involves risks and uncertainties. Although we believe that the assumptions on which these forward-looking statements are based are reasonable, any of those assumptions could prove to be inaccurate, and as a result, the forward-looking statements based on those assumptions also could be inaccurate. Important assumptions include the ability of Newtek Bank to originate loans under the SBA 7(a) program, maintain PLP status, sell SBA guaranteed portions of SBA 7(a) loans at premiums and grow deposits; our ability to originate new loans; our subsidiaries’ ability to generate revenue and obtain and maintain certain margins and levels of profitability; and the availability of additional capital. In light of these and other uncertainties, the inclusion of a projection or forward-looking statement in this report, including the documents that we incorporate by reference herein, should not be regarded as a representation by us that our plans and objectives will be achieved. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated by such forward-looking information due to the factors discussed under Part II “Item 1A. Risk Factors” of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q and “Item 1A. Risk Factors” of our 2025 Form 10-K, and in any subsequent filings we have made with the SEC that are incorporated by reference into this report.

You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which apply only as of the date of this report. And while we believe such information forms, or will form, a reasonable basis for such statements, such information may be limited or incomplete, and our statements should not be read to indicate that we have conducted an exhaustive inquiry into, or review of, all potentially available relevant information. These statements are inherently uncertain and investors are cautioned not to unduly rely on these statements. Any forward-looking statements made by or on behalf of the Company speak only as to the date they are made, and the Company does not undertake to update forward-looking statements to reflect the impact of circumstances or events that arise after the date the forward-looking statements were made, except as required by applicable law.

Executive Overview

NewtekOne, Inc. is a financial holding company owning Newtek Bank - a branchless nationally chartered bank. Our common shares are currently listed on the Nasdaq Global Market under the symbol “NEWT”. We are subject to the regulation and supervision of the Federal Reserve and the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta. In addition Newtek Bank is regulated by the OCC and we are required to follow SBA rules and guidelines in the origination, servicing and sale of our SBA loans. Complying with this level of regulation requires investments in technology and process and personnel costs.

Our target market is owners and prospective owners of SMBs and our services are offered online and in some cases delivered and fulfilled by our staff via video and voice calls. We source our business through our NewtekOne.com and NewtekBank.com web sites, our alliance partner network and our marketing database, which is facilitated through our patented NewTracker® platform. Our value proposition centers on delivering a comprehensive suite of integrated business and financial solutions — including business deposits and banking, business lending, electronic payment processing, insurance services, and payroll and benefits solutions — to independent business owners through a single relationship, unified by the Newtek Advantage® platform. We believe this breadth differentiates us from single-product competitors, deepens client relationships, supports deposit retention, and diversifies our revenue.

We support the operations of our subsidiaries by providing access to our proprietary and patented technology platform, including NewTracker®. In addition, we now offer the Newtek Advantage®, the One Dashboard for All of Your Business Needs®, which provides independent business owners with instant access to a team of NewtekOne business and financial solutions experts.

Our loan products include SBA 7(a), SBA 504, traditional C&I loans, C&I LA loans, CRE loans and ABL loans. Newtek Bank is a national bank and, as a nationally licensed SBA lender under the SBA 7(a) Program, originates, sells and services SBA 7(a) loans. Newtek Bank has been granted PLP status and is authorized to place SBA guarantees on loans without seeking prior SBA review and approval. Being a national SBA 7(a) lender with PLP status allows Newtek Bank to expedite the origination of SBA 7(a) loans since Newtek Bank is not required to present applications to the SBA for concurrent review and approval. A government failure to fund the SBA or the loss of the SBA 7(a) lending license or PLP status would adversely impact our marketing efforts and ultimately our loan origination volume, which would negatively impact our results of operations. See “ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS - Risks Related to SBA Lending.

Our process to extend credit to borrowers begins with technology but finishes with credit committee approval. For SBA7(a) loans, we hold the unguaranteed portion and we both sell portions guaranteed by the SBA for premiums and also hold guaranteed portions on our balance sheet to earn interest income. Unlike traditional financial and bank holding companies, the majority of our income has been historically driven and influenced by noninterest income, specifically gains on sales and market value adjustments on loans. Going forward, we intend to rely less on gain on sales and more on interest income. There can be no guarantee that we will continue to earn revenue from the sales of guaranteed portions of SBA 7(a) loans at the historic levels we have in the past. We sell certain loans servicing retained, in which case we record a servicing asset that could increase our gain on sale and provides a stream of future income to the extent the loan balance continues to be outstanding.

From 2012 through December 31, 2022, NSBF was consistently the largest non-bank SBA 7(a) lender in the U.S. based on dollar volume of loan approvals, and, as of December 31, 2022, was the third largest SBA 7(a) lender in the United States. Historically, NSBF structured its loans so that it could sell the government guaranteed portions of SBA 7(a) loans originated and securitize the unguaranteed portions. This structure generally allowed NSBF to recover its capital and earn excess capital on each loan, typically within a year. In connection with our April 2023 acquisition of Newtek Bank, we entered into a Wind-down Agreement with the SBA under which NSBF transitioned its SBA 7(a) loan originations to Newtek Bank. NSBF is winding down its operations and will continue to hold the 7(a) loans in its portfolio until maturity, liquidation, charge-off or — subject to the SBA's prior written approval — sale or transfer. Currently, Newtek Bank is ranked as the second largest SBA 7(a) lender based on dollar volume of loans approved.

Prior to the first quarter of 2026 when we began originating C&I LA loans (formerly referred to as ALP loans) out of Newtek Bank, we offered ALP loans and SBA 504 loans originated by our non-bank subsidiary NALH; and our JVs offered ALP loans. These loans have terms between 1

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

Introduction and Certain Cautionary Statements

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is intended to assist in the understanding and assessment of significant changes and trends related to the results of operations and financial position of the Company together with its subsidiaries. This discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes as well as Item 1 - Business.

The statements in this Annual Report may contain forward-looking statements relating to such matters as anticipated future financial performance, business prospects, legislative developments and similar matters. We note that a variety of factors could cause our actual results to differ materially from the anticipated results expressed in the forward-looking statements such as intensified competition and/or operating problems in our operating business projects and their impact on revenues and profit margins or additional factors as described under “Risk Factors” above.

Executive Overview

We are a financial holding company owning Newtek Bank - a branchless OCC nationally chartered bank. In 2023, we converted to a financial holding company from a BDC and a non-bank lender (see below). Our target market is owners and prospective owners of SMBs and our services are offered online and in some cases delivered and fulfilled by our staff via video and voice calls. We offer lending products, FDIC insured deposit products and services, payments processing, payroll services and insurance brokerage services. We source our business through our NewtekOne.com and NewtekBank.com web sites, our alliance partner network and our marketing database, which is facilitated through our patented NewTracker® platform. Our loan products include SBA 7(a), ALP, SBA 504, and traditional C&I and CRE bank loans. Our deposit products primarily include consumer high yield savings accounts, high yield certificates of deposit, zero-fee business checking, and business money market accounts. We offer business and financial solutions under the Newtek® and NewtekOne® brands to the independent business owner (SMB) market.

Our process to extend credit to borrowers begins with technology, but finishes with credit committee approval. We record CECL reserves on loans held for investment at amortized cost, which for unguaranteed SBA 7(a) loans exceeds 6%. For SBA7(a) loans, we hold the unguaranteed portion and sell portions guaranteed by the SBA, within approximately 180 days of origination (or we may hold guaranteed portions for longer periods), for premiums that have historically exceeded 10%, depending on loan characteristics and market conditions. Unlike traditional financial and bank holding companies, the majority of our income is driven and influenced by noninterest income, specifically gains on sales and market value adjustments on loans. We sell certain loans servicing retained, in which case we record a servicing asset that increases our gain on sale and provides a stream of future income to the extent the loan balance continues to be outstanding.

We fund our activities at Newtek Bank primarily through the aforementioned deposit products. We have also offered loans outside of our bank (primarily ALP loans that have been funded by our JVs and our non-bank subsidiary Newtek ALP Holdings) that have been initially funded with capital and lines of credit and hedged until a sufficient volume is attained at which time the loans are securitized. We are required by law to hold risk retention in securitization transactions, and the majority of our interests in securitizations are designed to absorb first loss on the loans held in the securitization trusts. Prior to July 1, 2024, the Company originated ALP loans with the intent to sell the loans to a JV. While the Company may continue to source JV partners to participate in the ALP, during the third quarter of 2024, we made the decision to originate with the intent to securitize ALP loans with our subsidiary Newtek ALP Holdings as the originator and sponsor. The Company could also originate ALP loans (i.e., long amortizing C&I loans) designated as HFI. We have also continued to actively issue bonds in the public and private capital markets.

We are subject to the regulation and supervision of the Federal Reserve and the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta. In addition Newtek Bank is regulated by the OCC and we are required to follow SBA rules and guidelines in the origination, servicing and sale of our SBA loans. Complying with this level of regulation requires investments in technology and process and personnel costs.

Conversion to a Financial Holding Company

As of January 6, 2023, we became a financial holding company that, together with our consolidated subsidiaries, provide a wide range of business and financial solutions under the Newtek® and NewtekOne® brands to the independent business owner (SMB) market. Effective January 6, 2023, following authorization by our shareholders, we withdrew our previous election to be regulated as a BDC under the 1940 Act. Contemporaneously with withdrawing our election to be regulated as a BDC, on January 6, 2023, we completed the Acquisition of NBNYC, a national bank regulated and supervised by the OCC, pursuant to which we acquired from NBNYC’s shareholders all of the issued and outstanding stock of NBNYC. NBNYC was renamed Newtek Bank and became our wholly owned bank subsidiary. As a result of the Acquisition, we became a financial holding company subject to the regulation and supervision of the Federal Reserve and the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta. We no longer qualified as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code for federal income tax purposes and no longer qualified for accounting treatment as an investment company. As a result, in addition to Newtek Bank and its consolidated subsidiary SBL, the following former portfolio companies and subsidiaries are consolidated non-bank subsidiaries in our financial statements: NSBF; NMS; Mobil Money; NBC; PMT; NIA; TAM; NALH; and POS. In addition, as a result of commitments made to the Federal Reserve, we divested of NTS on January 2, 2025. Refer to NOTE 4—INVESTMENTS: Intelligent Protection Management Corp.

Effective January 13, 2023, we filed Articles of Amendment amending our Charter to change the name of the Company to “NewtekOne, Inc.”

On April 13, 2023, the Company, NSBF and the SBA entered into the Wind-down Agreement, pursuant to which NSBF is winding-down its operations and NSBF’s SBA 7(a) pipeline of new loans was transitioned to Newtek Bank. During this wind-down process, NSBF continues to own the SBA 7(a) loans in its loan portfolio to maturity, liquidation, charge-off or (subject to SBA’s prior written approval) sale or transfer. SBL is servicing and liquidating NSBF’s SBA loan portfolio pursuant to an SBA approved lender service provider agreement. In addition, during the wind-down process, NSBF is subject to minimum capital requirements established by the SBA, required to continue to maintain certain amounts of restricted cash available to meet any obligations to the SBA, has restrictions on its ability to make dividends and distributions to the Company, and remains liable to the SBA for post-purchase denials and repairs on the guaranteed portions of SBA 7(a) loans originated and sold by NSBF, from the proceeds generated by NSBF’s SBA loan portfolio. The Company has guaranteed certain of NSBF’s obligations to the SBA and has funded a $10.0 million account to secure these potential obligations.

Historical Business Regulation and Taxation

Prior to January 6, 2023, we operated as an internally managed non-diversified closed-end management investment company that elected to be regulated as a BDC under the 1940 Act. Additionally, prior to January 6, 2023, due to our status as a BDC, we elected to be treated as a RIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes, beginning with our 2015 tax year. As an entity electing to be treated as a RIC, we generally did not have to pay U.S. federal income taxes at corporate rates on any ordinary income or capital gains that we distributed to our shareholders as dividends. The Company and its subsidiaries no longer qualify as a RIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes and files a consolidated U.S. federal income tax return beginning with the 2023 fiscal year. Financial holding companies are subject to federal and state income taxes in essentially the same manner as other corporations. Taxable income is generally calculated under applicable sections of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), including Sections 581 through 597 that apply specifically to financial institutions. Some modifications are required by state law and the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”) that was enacted in the U.S on July 4, 2025. The OBBBA includes significant tax related provisions, such as the permanent extension of certain expiring provisions of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, modifications to the international tax framework and the restoration of favorable tax treatment for certain business provisions. The legislation has multiple effective dates, with certain provisions effective in the Company's fiscal year 2025 and others to be implemented through 2027. There can be no assurance as to the actual effective income tax rates impacting the amounts and timing of cash flows and the amounts of income tax expense recorded by the Company, because such rates will be dependent upon the nature and amount of future income and expenses as well as actual investments generating investment tax credits and transactions with discrete tax effects.

From 2012 through December 31, 2022, NSBF was consistently the largest non-bank SBA 7(a) lender in the U.S. based on dollar volume of loan approvals, and, as of December 31, 2022, was the third largest SBA 7(a) lender in the United States. Currently, Newtek Bank is ranked as the third largest SBA 7(a) lender based on dollar volume of loans approved. Historically, NSBF structured its loans so that it could both sell the government guaranteed portions of SBA 7(a) loans and securitize the unguaranteed portions.
