Accordingly, we believe that non-GAAP core net income and non-GAAP core diluted EPS provide useful information to
investors and others in understanding and evaluating our operating results in the same manner as our management and board of directors. In addition, they provide useful measures for
period-to-period comparisons of our business, as they remove the effect of certain items that we expect to be nonrecurring.
These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial
information prepared in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures are not based on any standardized methodology prescribed by GAAP and are not necessarily comparable to similarly titled
measures presented by other companies.
For more information on Core Income, please refer to the section of this press release below titled Adjusted
Financial Metric Reconciliation to GAAP Net Income at the end of this press release.

Some of the statements contained in this press release may constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws.
Forward-looking statements relate to anticipated results, expectations, projections, plans and strategies, anticipated events or trends, and similar expressions concerning matters that are not historical facts. In some cases, you can identify
forward-looking statements by the use of forward-looking terminology such as may, will, expects, intends, plans, anticipates, believes, estimates,
predicts, goal, position, or potential or the negative of these words and phrases or similar words or phrases that are predictions of or indicate future events or trends and which do not relate solely
to historical matters. You can also identify forward-looking statements by discussions of strategy, plans, or intentions.
The forward-looking statements
contained in this press release reflect our current views about future events and are subject to numerous known and unknown risks, uncertainties, assumptions, and changes in circumstances that may cause actual results to differ significantly from
those expressed or contemplated in any forward-looking statement. While forward-looking statements reflect our good faith projections, assumptions, and expectations, they are not guarantees of future results. Furthermore, we disclaim any
obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement to reflect changes in underlying assumptions or factors, new information, data or methods, future events, or other changes, except as required by applicable law. Factors that
could cause our results to differ materially include, but are not limited to, (1) changes in federal government fiscal and monetary policies, (2) general economic and real estate market conditions, including the risk of recession,
(3) regulatory and/or legislative changes, (4) our customers continued interest in loans and doing business with us, (5) market conditions and investor interest in our future securitizations, and (6) geopolitical conflicts.
Additional information relating to these and other factors that could cause future results to differ materially from those expressed or contemplated in
any forward-looking statements can be found in other cautionary statements we make in our current and periodic filings with the SEC. Such filings are available publicly on our Investor Relations web page at www.velfinance.com.
