Live Oak Bancshares reported a mixed fourth quarter in 2022. While loan originations remained strong at over $1 billion, net income decreased significantly compared to the previous quarter and the same period last year. Total revenue also saw a decrease, while noninterest expenses increased, impacting overall profitability.
Net income decreased to $1.8 million, or $0.04 per diluted share, a significant drop from both the previous quarter and Q4 2021.
Loan and lease originations totaled $1.18 billion, marking a 17% increase from the third quarter of 2022.
Total deposits increased to $8.88 billion, reflecting growth of $480.0 million compared to the previous quarter.
Noninterest income decreased due to lower equity method investment income and reduced gains on sales of loans.
Live Oak will host a conference call tomorrow, January 26, 2023, at 9:00 a.m. ET to discuss the company’s financial results and business outlook.
