Mendez continued, "Subsequent to the quarter end, the Company surpassed $25 billion in processed cannabis-related funds through our trusted network of partner banks. This is a significant milestone that we achieved on our 10th anniversary and is another proven point that Safe Harbor continues to be a leader in offering compliant banking services to cannabis related businesses. We also originated a $1.5 million secured credit facility with a cannabis operator out of Missouri, further cementing our position as a trusted financial partner to cannabis businesses.
"Finally, in a redefining transaction for the Company, we successfully modified our debt obligation with Partner Colorado Credit Union. This modification greatly improves our financial stability as we are able to unlock over $6 million in cashflow over the next two years and push the term of the debt obligation out to October 2030. This updated debt deal provides Safe Harbor with the financial flexibility needed to enhance and expand our overall business services as we execute on our business strategy throughout 2025 and beyond.
"One of the major reasons I joined Safe Harbor is the tremendous opportunity I see to build upon our strong foundation, to evolve from a single compliance solution into a provider of a broad array of services focused on addressing the needs of our clients. I believe that Safe Harbor is well positioned to offer competitive solutions designed to protect, lend, connect and enable the success of our customers and our clients,” concluded Mendez.
Full Year 2024 Financial Results
For the year ended December 31, 2024, total revenue was $15.2 million, compared to approximately $17.6 million in the prior year. The decrease in revenue was due to a reduction in deposit activity and onboarding income and was primarily attributable to the decrease in the number of accounts related to the Abaca acquisition, offset by a 123% year-over-year increase in loan interest income. In the full-year ended December 31, 2024, PCCU accounted for $4.6 million of the revenue generated from deposits, activities, and client onboarding. Related to this revenue, the Company recognized $452,371 in account hosting expenses.
Full-year 2024 operating expenses decreased over 42% to $22.3 million, compared to $38.3 million in the prior year period, which was comprised of the following:
● | Compensation and employee benefits expenses decreased 25% due to decrease in stock-based compensation and a lower headcount as compared to previous year. Restructuring efforts will continue as we optimize our talent portfolio. | |
● | General and administrative expenses decreased 39% across various categories including: i) $988,412 in investment hosting fees as a result of the decrease in investment income, ii) $900,034 in decreased bank sharing fees due to the decrease in the number of accounts, and iii) $661,776 in decreased amortization and depreciation. | |
● | For the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company fully impaired goodwill and finite-lived intangible assets. Goodwill and intangible assets are now fully written down to $0 on the balance sheet. | |
● | The professional services expense increased primarily due to higher legal fees related to ongoing litigation. | |
● | Credit Loss Expense benefitted from the elimination of the indemnity liability from the Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2024, due to the Amended CAA. | |
As of December 31, 2024, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $2.3 million, compared to $4.9 million at December 31, 2023.
