Pathward Financial reports preliminary Q3 EPS $1.81, consensus $1.67

Reports preliminary Q3 revenue $195.8M, consensus $185.05M. CEO Brett Pharr said, “We are encouraged by the results achieved in the third quarter, as they represent another quarter where we have successfully executed on our strategy and generated shareholder value. We have made progress on many fronts, and I am incredibly proud of what our team has been able to accomplish over the past nine months. Being the trusted platform that enables our partners to thrive remains our main focus, and we are working to deliver solutions for our clients.” As previously disclosed, the Company plans to amend its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2024 to restate certain financial statements included therein and its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended December 31, 2024 to reflect restatement adjustments, after which the Company expects to file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2025. The restatements are due to errors related to the Company’s gross vs. net basis presentation and derivative accounting, and financial reporting, of certain third-party lending and servicing relationships within the Credit Solutions business, within held-for-investment loan balances. While the Company works diligently to complete the restatement process, the Company is providing the preliminary results for the 2025 fiscal third quarter contained in this release. These results, for all periods presented, reflect the updated gross basis accounting methodology for the affected third-party lending and servicing arrangements. The Company’s actual results may differ materially from these preliminary financial results.
