NOTE REGARDING THE CHANGE IN NAME OF "RECEIVABLE PURCHASE PROGRAM" ("RPP") TO "STRUCTURED RECEIVEABLE PROGRAM" ("SRP")
As part of its previously announced Reorganization (see note below), VersaBank has changed the name of its Receivable Purchase Program ("RPP") to Structured Receivable Program ("SRP"). The underlying business model of the SRP has not changed in any way.
MANAGEMENT COMMENTARY
"The first quarter of 2026 saw the acceleration of our Structured Receivable Program, or SRP (previously known as our Receivable Purchase Program) in the United States, which, combined with steady growth in Canada and a strengthened net interest margin, contributed to 31% year-over-year growth in revenue," said David Taylor, Founder and President, VersaBank. "Per our strategy, we are increasingly benefitting from the operating leverage in our business model. Our investment over the past several years in establishing and ramping up our U.S. business is yielding results in terms of improved operating leverage, with net income up 36% and adjusted net income up 49%, year-over-year. Notably, adjusted net income grew 15% sequentially."
"After surpassing our fiscal 2025 target, during the first quarter of fiscal 2026 we grew our U.S. SRP 55% sequentially. Our pace of funding has us firmly on track to achieve our target of growing our US SRP fundings by at least $1 billion in fiscal 2026. Notably, the efficiency of our U.S. banking operations has already surpassed that of our Canadian banking operations and, with substantially all of our U.S. cost structure in place, will expand meaningfully as we grow our U.S. portfolio."
"In addition to the expected continued strong growth in our core Digital Banking business, we are increasingly encouraged by the opportunity for our Real Bank Tokenized Deposits™ (RBTD™s) as digital assets gain adoption by the mainstream financial industry amidst a favourable regulatory environment. During the quarter, we continued to advance our RBTD™s towards commercialization, with a specific focus on ensuring we position ourselves to fully capitalize on their specific advantage in the marketplace."
"The first quarter was also highlighted by our extension of our custody services to the stablecoin market and, subsequent to quarter end, we announced our first customer, Stablecorp Digital Currencies, for which the Bank will serve as the custodian for Stablecorp's QCAD stablecoin -- Canada's first regulatory compliant Canadian-dollar stablecoin. Stablecorp has an impressive list of investors including Coinbase, Circle, DeFi Technologies and FTP Ventures."
"We continue to make steady progress on our reorganization with the goal of including our shareholder vote on the matter as apart of our annual shareholders meeting in early April, subject to the timing of review of the required filings and approval by the requisite regulators. We continue to expect the benefits of the reorganization to meaningfully outweigh the investment in the process and allow the Bank to fully capitalize on its US SRP opportunity, as well as our Tokenized Deposit and Stablecoin Custody Services opportunities."
KEY OPERATIONAL DEVELOPMENTS
- The Bank continued to realize rapid expansion of its credit asset portfolio in the US through the successful ramp up of its SRP. Following the achievement of its first-year target for SRP credit assets and the signing of an agreement with its largest US SRP partner to date at the end of the Q4 2025, the Bank grew its total US SRP credit assets to US$472.0 million at the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2026 and is on pace to achieve its target for additional US SRP fundings in fiscal 2026 of US$1 billion;
- The Bank enhanced its Canadian Mortgage and Housing Corporation ("CMHC") insured lending program such that the Bank will begin utilizing its Canadian Mortgage Bond ("CMB") Program allocation capacity to invest in CMHC-insured multi-unit residential ("MUR") term mortgages originated by partners who are well-established leaders in the Canadian MUR mortgage industry (the "Mortgage Originator") (the "Enhanced CMHC Program");
- Following the Canadian federal government's announcement of planned regulation of stablecoins in the 2025 Federal Budget, the Bank initiated collaborations with third-party stablecoin issuers on national bank-based, SOC2 Type 1-certified custody solutions that are consistent with the government's planned regulation for stablecoins in Canada. Subsequent to the end of the first quarter, the Bank announced its first stablecoin custody customer, signing a definitive agreement with Stablecorp Digital Currencies Inc. ("Stablecorp"), a pioneering Canadian digital asset infrastructure company and servicer of the QCAD Digital Trust and whose investors include Coinbase, Circle, DeFi Technologies and FTP Ventures, under which the Bank will serve as the custodian for Stablecorp's QCAD stablecoin. QCAD recently became Canada's first regulatory compliant Canadian-dollar stablecoin; and,
- The Bank continued to steadily progress on its Reorganization (see note below) and in support of that Reorganization appointed Nicolas Ospina to the newly created role of Global Chief Financial Officer with responsibility for oversight of the Bank's finance function at the corporate level and John Asma, previously Chief Financial Officer of the Bank, to Executive Vice President with responsibilities for operation and execution of strategy for Canadian Digital Banking operations.
HIGHLIGHTS FOR THE FIRST QUARTER OF FISCAL 2026
Consolidated (Canadian and US Digital Banking Operations, Digital Meteor and DRTC)
- Total assets increased 24% year-over-year and 6% sequentially to a record $6.1 billion, with the increase driven primarily by growth of the Digital Banking operations' credit asset portfolios, in particular, the Structured Receivable Program ("SRP") portfolio, in both the US and Canada;
- Consolidated total revenue increased 31% year-over-year and increased 4% sequentially to a record $36.5 million, with the year-over-year and sequential increases primarily due to the continued growth in credit assets, which were up 23% year-over-year and 5% sequentially;
- Consolidated net income was $11.1 million compared with $8.1 million for the first quarter of last year and $5.2 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025. Consolidated net income for the first quarter of fiscal 2026 included $1.5 million of non-interest expenses related primarily to the costs associated with the Reorganization (see note below), compared to $5.4 million in the sequential quarter, which also had higher than typical tax provision attributable to various one-time tax expense adjustments;
- Consolidated adjusted net income was $12.2 million, an increase of 49% year-over-year and an increase of 15% sequentially;
- Consolidated income per common share was $0.35 compared with $0.28 for the first quarter of last year and $0.16 for the fourth quarter of 2025. In addition to the impact of the items noted above, the variance to prior year reflects the impact of the 25% higher number of shares outstanding following the treasury common share offering in December 2024;
- Consolidated adjusted income per common share was $0.38 compared with $0.28 for the first quarter of 2025 and $0.33 for the fourth quarter of 2025; and,
- As at January 31, 2026, the Bank has purchased and cancelled 573,251 common shares under its Normal Course Issuer Bid (NCIB), under which the Bank may purchase for cancellation up to 2,000,000 of its common shares representing approximately 8.99% of its public float (as of April 28, 2025).
Digital Banking (Combined Canada and US)
- Total Digital Banking operations (combined Canada and US) credit assets increased 23% year-over-year and 5% sequentially to a record $5.33 billion, driven primarily by strong growth in each of the US and Canadian SRP portfolios, which, combined, increased 29% year-over-year and 9% sequentially;
- Total Digital Banking operations revenue increased 33% year-over-year and 5% sequentially to a record $34.4 million, with the year-over-year and sequential increases primarily due to the continued growth in credit assets;
- Total Digital Banking operations net interest margin on credit assets increased 28 bps, or 12%, year-over-year, and decreased 1 bps sequentially, to 2.64%. The year-over-year increase was primarily due to the lower cost of funds, attributable to the renewal of maturing deposits at lower interest rates and the diminished impact of the atypically inverted yield curve that existed in the early part of fiscal 2025 and which is no longer inverted. The sequential decrease reflects the planned transition of some higher yielding, higher risk-weighted Multi-Family Residential Loans ("MROL") to lower yielding, lower risk-weighted MROL as part of the Bank's strategy to capitalize on opportunities for lower-risk weighted credit assets with a higher return on capital and the continued growth in the SRP portfolio, which is also composed of lower risk-weighted, lower yielding assets, offset partially by lower cost of funds;
- Total Digital Banking operations overall net interest margin increased 17 bps, or 8%, year-over-year and decreased 4 bps, or 2%, sequentially to 2.25%. The Bank's net interest margin remained among the highest of the publicly traded Canadian Schedule I (federally licensed) banks;
- Total Digital Banking operations provision for credit losses as a percentage of average credit assets remained negligible at 0.05%, compared with a 12-quarter average of 0.04%, which remains among the lowest of the publicly traded Canadian Schedule I (federally licensed) banks;
- Total Digital Banking operations net income was $11.5 million compared with $8.9 million for the first quarter of last year and $5.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2025. Net income for the first quarter of fiscal 2026 included $1.5 million (before tax) of non-interest expenses primarily related to the Reorganization, compared to the sequential quarter of $5.4 million, which also had one-time tax expense adjustments;
- Total Digital Banking operations income per common share was $0.36 compared with $0.30 for the first quarter of last year and $0.16 for the fourth quarter of 2025. In addition to the impact of the items noted above, the variance to prior year reflects the impact of the 25% higher number of shares outstanding following the treasury common share offering in December 2024.
Digital Banking Canada
Note: The financial results for Digital Banking Canada contain certain non-interest expenses for general corporate administrative costs.
- Canadian Digital Banking operations net income was $8.7 million compared with $8.8 million for the first quarter of last year and $3.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2025; and,
- Canadian Digital Banking operations net income per common share was $0.28 compared with $0.30 for the first quarter of last year and $0.10 for the fourth quarter of 2025. In addition to the impact of the items noted above, the variance to prior year reflects the impact of the 25% higher number of shares outstanding following the treasury common share offering in December 2024;
Digital Banking US
- US Digital Banking operations net income was $2.8 million compared with $103,000 for the first quarter of last year and $2.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2025. The sequential increase was primarily attributable to the strong growth in the SRP portfolio. US Digital Banking operations include expenses that are being incurred ahead of asset growth and revenue generated by the ramp up of the US SRP portfolio.
Digital Meteor
- Digital Meteor's net income was $179,000 compared with net income of $33,000 for the first quarter of last year and a net income of $94,000 for the fourth quarter of 2025;
- The Bank started an internal pilot program in the United States for its USDVBs, the US-dollar version of its proprietary Real Bank Tokenized Deposits™ ("RBTDs"™); and,
- The Bank commenced a refresh of its previously completed pilot program for its CADVBs, the Canadian-dollar version of its proprietary RBTDs™.
DRTC's Cybersecurity Services Operations
- DRTC's net loss was $630,000 compared with a net loss of $757,000 for the first quarter of last year and a net loss of $17,000 for the fourth quarter of 2025.
Reorganization (previously referred to as the Proposed Corporate Realignment)
In May 2025, the Bank announced its intention, subject to the approval of VersaBank's shareholders, the U.S. Federal Reserve, the Office of the Superintendent of Financial Institutions (Canada) ("OSFI"), the Minister of Finance (Canada), the Toronto Stock Exchange ("TSX"), the Nasdaq Global Select Market ("Nasdaq"), and other applicable approvals, to implement a series of transactions that would result in, among other things, a new entity (the "Parent"), a newly incorporated Delaware corporation, succeeding VersaBank as the publicly traded entity in which existing shareholders hold their equity interests, thereby domesticating that public company as a U.S. reporting issuer incorporated in Delaware (the "Reorganization"). Under the proposed terms of the Reorganization, among other things, VersaBank will adopt an amendment to its by-laws and effect certain transactions to exchange all of its outstanding common shares for shares of the Parent (the "Share Exchange"). Following the Share Exchange, VersaBank will sell all of its shares of VersaHoldings US Corp. to the Parent in exchange for a promissory note equal to the aggregate fair market value of those shares (the "Parent Note"), which will subsequently be distributed to the Parent as a return of capital.
