Revenues

 

SWK generated revenues of $5.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015, driven primarily by $4.2 million in interest and fees earned on finance receivables and marketable securities and $1.6 million in income related to the Company's investment in an unconsolidated partnership. SWK generated revenues of $3.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014, driven primarily by $2.1 million in interest and fees earned on finance receivables and marketable securities and $1.5 million in income related to the Company's investment in an unconsolidated partnership. The increase in SWK's portfolio from 9 investments in the first quarter of 2014 compared to 14 investments in the first quarter of 2015 was the primary driver for the significant increase in revenues.

 

Costs and Expenses

 

General and administrative expenses consist primarily of compensation, stock-based compensation and related costs for management, staff, Board of Directors, legal and audit expenses, and corporate governance. General and administrative expenses increased to $1.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015 from $0.7 million for the comparable period in 2014, due to increased income-based bonus expense and stock-based compensation expenses.

 

Interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2015 was $0.4 million, which consists of debt issuance cost amortization, $0.2 million of which was related to the warrant issued to Carlson Capital at the closing of the credit facility and $0.2 million for legal and other expenses related to the credit facility. These debt issuance costs were accelerated during the quarter after the expiration of the draw period of the credit facility. Interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2014, was $0.2 million.

 

Other Income

 

Other income for the three months ended March 31, 2015 was $0.4 million of fair market value gains on the warrant derivatives. Other income for the three months ended March 31, 2014, was $0.2 million of fair market value gains on the warrant derivatives.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

As of March 31, 2015, SWK had $59.5 million in cash and cash equivalents compared to $58.7 million in cash and cash equivalents as of December 31, 2014.

The Company reports its financial results in accordance with GAAP (sometimes referred to herein as "reported"). However, management believes that certain non-GAAP financial measures provide users with additional meaningful financial information that should be considered when assessing the Company’s ongoing performance. In the presentation above, management has eliminated the following non-cash items: (i) fair-market value of warrants as mark to market changes are non-cash, (ii) warrant-related debt issuance costs as the expense is non-cash, and (iii) income taxes as the Company has substantial net operating losses to offset against future income. Management also uses these non-GAAP financial measures in making financial, operating and planning decisions and in evaluating the Company's performance. Non-GAAP financial measures should be viewed in addition to, and not as an alternative for, the Company's reported results prepared in accordance with GAAP. The Company’s non-GAAP financial information does not represent a comprehensive basis of accounting.
