For the nine months ended March 31, 2024, net income was $345.1
million, an increase of 57.0% from net income of $219.8 million for
the nine months ended March 31, 2023. Diluted earnings per share
were $5.88 for the nine months ended March 31, 2024, an increase of
$2.25, or 62.0%, as compared to diluted earnings per share of $3.63
for the nine months ended March 31, 2023.
“We delivered strong earnings per share and book value per share
growth, driven by a 14% sequential increase in net interest income
and a 5% sequential increase in non-interest income, ex-last
quarter’s one-time gain on the FDIC Loan Purchase,” stated Greg
Garrabrants, President and Chief Executive Officer of Axos. “We
generated double-digit deposit growth year-over-year and
linked-quarter annualized as a result of our diversified channels
across consumer and commercial banking. Despite continued cash
sorting declines in our custody business, average non-interest
bearing deposit balances increased 2.6% linked quarter, driven by a
7% sequential increase in the number of non-interest bearing
deposit accounts.”
“Our asset-based lending at low loan-to-values credit philosophy
continues to serve us well, with non-performing assets remaining
relatively stable,” stated Derrick Walsh, Executive Vice President
and Chief Financial Officer of Axos. “We continue to generate
excess capital due to our strong returns and net interest margin,
with a return on average common stockholders’ equity of 20.71% and
a return on average assets of 1.98% in the three months ended March
31, 2024. Our strong capital position allows us to balance organic
growth and opportunistic asset, business and talent acquisition
with common share repurchases.”
Other Highlights
- Net interest margin was 4.87% for the quarter ended March 31,
2024 compared to 4.42% for the quarter ended March 31, 2023
- Net loans for investment totaled $18.7 billion at March 31,
2024, an increase of $0.5 billion, or 10.3% annualized, from $18.3
billion at December 31, 2023
- Total deposits were $19.1 billion at March 31, 2024, an
increase of $2.0 billion, or 15.4% annualized, from $17.1 billion
at June 30, 2023; total savings, checking and other demand deposits

Third Quarter Fiscal 2024 Income Statement Summary
Net income was $110.7 million and earnings per diluted common
share was $1.91 for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared
to net income of $79.9 million and earnings per diluted common
share of $1.32 for the three months ended March 31, 2023. Net
interest income increased $62.6 million or 31.5% for the three
months ended March 31, 2024 compared to the three months ended
March 31, 2023, primarily due to an increase in interest income
from loans attributable to higher rates earned and higher average
balances, partially offset by higher rates paid and higher average
interest-bearing deposit balances.
The provision for credit losses was $6.0 million for the three
months ended March 31, 2024, compared to $5.5 million for the three
months ended March 31, 2023. The provision for credit losses for
the three months ended March 31, 2024, was primarily due to loan
growth in the Commercial & Industrial - Non-RE portfolio and an
increase in the Commercial Real Estate portfolio reflecting changes
in the underlying macroeconomic variables.
Non-interest income increased to $33.2 million for the three
months ended March 31, 2024, compared to $32.2 million for the
three months ended March 31, 2023. The increase was primarily due
to higher advisory fee income and higher mortgage banking and
servicing rights income, partially offset by a decrease in
broker-dealer fee income.
Non-interest expense, comprised of various operating expenses,
increased $22.2 million to $133.2 million for the three months
ended March 31, 2024 from $111.0 million for the three months ended
March 31, 2023. The increase was primarily due to higher salaries
and related costs, higher data and operational processing expenses
and increased professional services expense, partially offset by a
decrease in advertising and promotional expenses.
Balance Sheet Summary
Axos’ total assets increased by $2.3 billion, or 11.3%, to $22.6
billion, at March 31, 2024, from $20.3 billion at June 30, 2023,
primarily due to an increase in loans. Total liabilities increased
by $2.0 billion, or 10.9%, to $20.4 billion at March 31, 2024, from
$18.4 billion at June 30, 2023, primarily due to an increase in
deposits. Stockholders’ equity increased by $279.1 million, or
14.6%, to $2.2 billion at March 31, 2024 from $1.9 billion at June
30, 2023, primarily due to net income of $345.1 million, partially
offset by purchases of common stock of $83.8 million under the
share repurchase program.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to the results presented in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America (“GAAP”), this release includes non-GAAP financial measures
such as adjusted earnings, adjusted earnings per diluted common
share, and tangible book value per common share. Non-GAAP financial
measures have inherent limitations, may not be comparable to
similarly titled measures used by other companies and are not
audited. Readers should be aware of these limitations and should be
cautious as to their reliance on such measures. Although we believe
the non-GAAP financial measures disclosed in this release enhance
investors’ understanding of our business and performance, these
non-GAAP measures should not be considered in isolation, or as a
substitute for GAAP basis financial measures.
We define “adjusted earnings”, a non-GAAP financial measure, as
net income without the after-tax impact of non-recurring
acquisition-related items (including amortization of intangible
assets related to acquisitions and certain gains and provisions
resulting from the Company’s FDIC Loan Purchase) and other costs
(unusual or non-recurring charges). Adjusted EPS, a non-GAAP
financial measure, is calculated by dividing non-GAAP adjusted
earnings by the average number of diluted common shares outstanding
during the period. We believe the non-GAAP measures of adjusted
earnings and Adjusted EPS provide useful information about Axos’
operating performance. We believe excluding the non-recurring
acquisition-related costs, and other costs provides investors with
an alternative understanding of Axos’ core business.
Below is a reconciliation of net income, the nearest compatible
GAAP measure, to adjusted earnings and adjusted EPS (Non-GAAP) for
the periods shown:

1 During the nine months ended March 31,
2024, the Company completed the purchase from the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) of two performing commercial real
estate and multi-family loan pools with a combined unpaid principal
balance of approximately $1.25 billion at 63% of par value (the
“FDIC Loan Purchase”).
2 Other costs for the nine months ended
March 31, 2023 reflect an accrual recorded in the first quarter of
fiscal year 2024 as a result of an adverse legal judgement that has
not been finalized.
We define “tangible book value”, a non-GAAP financial measure,
as book value adjusted for goodwill and other intangible assets.
Tangible book value is calculated using common stockholders’ equity
minus servicing rights, goodwill and other intangible assets.
Tangible book value per common share, a non-GAAP financial measure,
is calculated by dividing tangible book value by the common shares
outstanding at the end of the period. We believe tangible book
value per common share is useful in evaluating the Company’s
capital strength, financial condition, and ability to manage
potential losses.
Below is a reconciliation of total stockholders’ equity, the
nearest compatible GAAP measure, to tangible book value per common
share (non-GAAP) as of the dates indicated:
