Key results include a net income of $4.5 million, a significant increase from $0.5 million in the prior-year quarter. Total assets slightly decreased to $331.3 million, while total liabilities decreased to $38.6 million. The company also entered into a definitive agreement to sell the majority of its finance receivables royalty portfolio for approximately $34.0 million, a transaction that closed after the quarter-end [Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets](index=4&type=section&id=Unaudited%20Condensed%20Consolidated%20Balance%20Sheets%E2%80%94March%2031%2C%202025%20and%20December%2031%2C%202024) As of March 31, 2025, total assets were $331.3 million, a slight decrease from $332.2 million at year-end 2024. The change was driven by a decrease in finance receivables to $223.1 million, partially offset by a significant increase in cash and cash equivalents to $29.8 million. Total liabilities decreased to $38.6 million from $43.5 million, primarily due to the full repayment of the revolving credit facility.

The improvement was primarily driven by a $1.5 million benefit for credit losses (compared to a $5.3 million provision in Q1 2024) and a $1.7 million realized gain on early payment of a finance receivable. This was partially offset by a $3.7 million loss on the revaluation of finance receivables held for sale Q1 2025 vs Q1 2024 Income Statement (in thousands, except per share data) | Metric | Q1 2025 | Q1 2024 | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | Total Revenues | $11,832 | $11,360 | | Provision (benefit) for credit losses | $(1,465) | $5,297 | | Income from operations | $8,113 | $1,079 | | Loss on revaluation of finance receivables held for sale | $(3,727) | $— | | Realized gain on early payment of finance receivable | $1,729 | $— | | **Net Income** | **$4,539** | **$468** | | **Diluted EPS** | **$0.37** | **$0.04** | [Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Stockholders' Equity](index=6&type=section&id=Unaudited%20Condensed%20Consolidated%20Statements%20of%20Stockholders%27%20Equity%E2%80%94Three%20Months%20Ended%20March%2031%2C%202025%20and%202024) Total stockholders' equity increased from $288.7 million at the end of 2024 to $292.7 million as of March 31, 2025. The increase was primarily due to the $4.5 million net income for the quarter, partially offset by $0.9 million in common stock repurchases - Key changes in stockholders' equity for Q1 2025 included a **$4.5 million** increase from net income and a **$0.9 million** decrease from stock repurchases[14](index=14&type=chunk) [Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows](index=7&type=section&id=Unaudited%20Condensed%20Consolidated%20Statements%20of%20Cash%20Flows%E2%80%94Three%20Months%20Ended%20March%2031%2C%202025%20and%202024) The company generated $8.3 million in cash from operating activities in Q1 2025, up from $4.4 million in Q1 2024. Investing activities provided $22.7 million, largely from $32.7 million in repayments of finance receivables.

Key disclosures include the company's two reportable segments (Finance Receivables and Pharmaceutical Development), the sale of its royalty portfolio for ~$34.0 million which resulted in a $3.7 million loss, and an exclusive option granted to a partner to acquire assets of its MOD3 (Pharmaceutical Development) business.

The company's liquidity position strengthened considerably, with cash increasing to $29.8 million and the full repayment of its revolving credit facility. The finance receivables portfolio stood at $223.1 million at quarter-end [Finance Receivables Portfolio Overview](index=27&type=section&id=Finance%20Receivables%20Portfolio%20Overview) As of March 31, 2025, the company's total finance receivables portfolio, including assets held for sale, marketable investments, and warrant assets, had a GAAP balance of $270.6 million.

This was primarily due to a $6.8 million decrease in the provision for credit losses (from a $5.3M provision to a $1.5M benefit). Total revenues saw a modest increase of $0.4 million. Other expenses increased by $1.9 million, mainly from the loss on revaluation of finance receivables held for sale Comparison of Q1 2025 vs Q1 2024 (in millions) | Item | Q1 2025 | Q1 2024 | Change $ | | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | | Revenues | $11.8 | $11.4 | $0.4 | | Provision (benefit) for credit losses | $(1.5) | $5.3 | $(6.8) | | General and administrative expense | $3.3 | $2.7 | $0.6 | | Other income (expense), net | $(2.3) | $(0.4) | $(1.9) | | **Net income** | **$4.5** | **$0.5** | **$4.0** | - The **$0.4 million** revenue increase was driven by a **$0.7 million** increase in Pharmaceutical Development revenue, partially offset by a **$0.3 million** decrease in Finance Receivables revenue[117](index=117&type=chunk) [Liquidity and Capital Resources](index=31&type=section&id=Liquidity%20and%20Capital%20Resources) The company's liquidity significantly improved, with cash and cash equivalents increasing by $23.9 million to $29.8 million at quarter-end.

The company does not currently use hedging instruments. Inflation poses a risk to its partner companies' financial health, which could in turn affect their ability to meet debt obligations - The company is subject to interest rate risk, as its income depends on the spread between the rates earned on its assets and the cost of its borrowings.
