Crossroads Impact Corp 2022 Fiscal 4th Quarter

DALLAS, Dec. 15, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Crossroads Impact Corp (OTCQX: CRSS) ("Crossroads" or the "Company"), a holding company focused on investing in businesses that promote economic vitality and community development, reported financial results for its fiscal fourth quarter ended Oct. 31, 2022.

The close of Crossroads Impact Corp's fourth quarter reflects consistent, sustained execution on its strategy and steady revenues. During the fourth quarter, the company closed on $100 million of new impact-based loans. The company's equity has made a staggering year-over-year jump from $6.7 million in the fiscal fourth quarter of 2021 to $198.1 million in its fiscal fourth quarter of 2022.

As the economy feels the strains of inflation and uncertainty, Crossroads remains confident in its borrowers and underwriting and has not experienced nor does it anticipate a meaningful uptick in delinquencies. The company is fortunate to have a seasoned executive team that has been through many economic cycles and is well versed in credit risk management alongside Enhanced Capital's team, which has 20-plus years of stellar asset performance. For the quarter, Crossroads had two foreclosures and a total of eight for the year compared to 14 during fiscal 2021. Crossroads also saw a year-over-year decrease in liabilities, with a total of $278.3 million on Oct. 31, 2022, compared with $368 million for the same period that ended Oct. 31, 2021.

Management Commentary
As Crossroads marks the end of fiscal fourth quarter in 2022, we reflect on the enormous year we've had in expanding our footprint in environmental, social and governance loans. We have expanded our participation in more ESG programs and fostered more relationships based on a shared goal of boosting ESG initiatives. During fiscal 2022, Crossroads was able to deploy over $200 million in ESG loans, which equate to real, measurable change for those making the greatest difference in our communities. Of note is Crossroads' investment in a solar tax credit fund, which increased to $13.7 million from $9.4 million year over year.

As we continue our mission of impact, we are notably excited about the $125 million bond guarantee from the U.S. Treasury Department's CDFI Bond Guarantee Program to Crossroads Impact subsidiary Capital Plus Financial. The prestige of this bond for CPF, a first for the company, is a huge win for the institution and will enable further investment into minority-owned small businesses and underrepresented populations. The bond closed on December 14.

The quarter also saw Rise Line Business Credit, a portfolio company of Crossroads, receive $30 million in financing from Texas Capital Bank, increasing financing access to those businesses for which it was otherwise unavailable.
