Fourth Quarter Fiscal 2024 Income Statement Summary
Net income was $104.9 million and earnings per diluted common
share was $1.80 for the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared
to net income of $87.4 million and earnings per diluted common
share of $1.46 for the three months ended June 30, 2023. Net
interest income increased $56.3 million or 27.6% for the three
months ended June 30, 2024, compared to the three months ended June
30, 2023, primarily due to an increase in interest income from
loans attributable to higher average balances and higher rates
earned, including the impact of discount accretion on loans
obtained in the FDIC Loan Purchase, partially offset by higher
average interest-bearing deposit balances and higher rates
paid.
The provision for credit losses was $6.0 million for the three
months ended June 30, 2024, compared to $7.0 million for the three
months ended June 30, 2023. The provision for credit losses for the
three months ended June 30, 2024, was primarily due to loan growth
in the Commercial & Industrial - Non-Real Estate portfolio as
well as increases across loan portfolios reflecting changes in the
underlying macroeconomic variables.
Non-interest income decreased to $30.9 million for the three
months ended June 30, 2024, compared to $32.7 million for the three
months ended June 30, 2023. The decrease was primarily due to lower
broker-dealer fee income and lower prepayment penalty fee income,
partially offset by higher mortgage banking and servicing rights
income.
Non-interest expense, comprised of various operating expenses,
increased $28.0 million to $140.5 million for the three months
ended June 30, 2024 from $112.5 million for the three months ended
June 30, 2023. The increase was primarily due to higher salaries
and related costs, higher professional services expense and higher
advertising and promotional expense.
Full Year Fiscal 2024 Highlights
- Net income reached a record $450.0 million, an increase of
46.5% compared to fiscal year ended June 30, 2023

Axos’ total assets increased by $2.6 billion, or 12.3%, to $22.9
billion, at June 30, 2024, from $20.3 billion at June 30, 2023,
primarily due to an increase in loans. Total liabilities increased
by $2.2 billion, or 11.6%, to $20.6 billion at June 30, 2024, from
$18.4 billion at June 30, 2023, primarily due to an increase in

30, 2023, primarily due to net income of $450.0 million, partially

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 comparable
GAAP measure, to adjusted earnings and adjusted EPS (Non-GAAP) for
the periods shown:

1 During the fiscal year ended June 30,
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 fiscal year ended
June 30, 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 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.

nearest comparable GAAP measure, to tangible book value per common
