Founded in 2008 by James S. (Chip) Mahan III, Live Oak initially focused on lending to niche industries such as veterinarians and dentists. Today, the bank lends to more than 35 specialized industries in all 50 states and has more than a dozen general lenders in markets across the country that directly serve small business owners. The bank specializes in SBA and USDA loans and offers business and personal deposit products on its branchless, digital platform.

In 2017, Live Oak Bank established an office in Washington, D.C. to handle the company’s loans in the fields of renewable energy and government contracting. Live Oak also announced a joint venture with the payment technology company First Data in October 2017, which became the joint company Apiture.

  • Risks Related to Our Business
  • Risks Related to Our Regulatory Environment
  • Risks Related to Our Securities
  • General Risk Factors
  • We may experience increased delinquencies and credit losses, which could have a material adverse effect on our capital, financial condition, and results of operations.
  • SBA lending and other government guaranteed lending is an important part of our business. These lending programs are dependent upon the federal government, and we face specific risks associated with originating SBA and other government guaranteed loans.
  • A prolonged U.S. government shutdown or default by the U.S. on government obligations would harm our results of operations.
  • Pandemics, natural disasters (including hurricanes), global climate change, acts of terrorism, social unrest, and global conflicts may have a negative impact on our business and operations.
  • The deployment and use of artificial intelligence presents risks and challenges that may adversely impact our business.
  • We are dependent upon the use of intellectual property owned by third parties, and any change in our ability to use, or the terms upon which we may use, this intellectual property could have a material adverse effect on our business.
  • A failure in or breach of our operational or security systems, or those of our third-party service providers, including as a result of cyber-attacks, could disrupt our business, result in unintentional disclosure or misuse of confidential or proprietary information, damage our reputation, increase our costs and cause losses.
  • We have identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting which, if not remediated appropriately or in a timely manner, could result in a loss of investor confidence and adversely impact the trading price of our securities.
The other 42 risks
  • We face risks related to the restatement of our financial statements.
  • The fair value of our investment securities can fluctuate due to factors outside of our control.
  • Our ACL may prove to be insufficient to absorb lifetime losses on loans, leases and off-balance sheet credit exposures.
  • The valuation of our loans measured at fair value is based on estimates and subject to fluctuation based on market conditions and other factors that are beyond our control.
  • The valuation of our servicing rights is based on estimates and subject to fluctuation based on market conditions and other factors that are beyond our control.
  • The recognition of gains on the sale of loans reflects certain assumptions.
  • Our rental equipment is subject to residual value risk upon disposition, and may not sell at the prices or in the quantities we expect.
  • We are subject to liquidity risk in our operations.
  • Changes in the interest rate environment could reduce our net interest income, which could reduce our profitability.
  • The amount of other real estate owned, or OREO, may increase significantly, resulting in additional losses, costs and expenses that will negatively affect our operations.
  • We are subject to environmental liability risk associated with our lending activities.
  • Our use of appraisals in deciding whether to make a loan secured by real property or how to value the loan in the future may not accurately reflect the net value of the collateral that we can realize.
  • We could be subject to losses, regulatory action or reputational harm due to fraudulent and negligent acts on the part of loan applicants, our borrowers, our employees and vendors.
  • New lines of business or new products and services may subject us to additional risks.
  • We are subject to risk in connection with our strategic activities, including acquisitions, joint ventures, partnerships, and investments.
  • Our investments in financial technology companies and initiatives subject us to material financial, reputational and strategic risks.
  • Our investments in other companies may be illiquid.
  • Our investments and/or financings in certain tax-advantaged projects may not generate returns as anticipated and may have an adverse impact on our financial results.
  • Our loan portfolio may be affected by deterioration in real estate markets, including declines in the performance of loans.
  • Deterioration in the commercial soundness of our counterparties could adversely affect us.
  • We have different lending risks than larger, more diversified banks.
  • Insiders have substantial control over us, and this control may limit our shareholders’ ability to influence corporate matters and may delay or prevent a third party from acquiring control over us.
  • We are subject to extensive regulation that could limit or restrict our activities.
  • We are required to maintain capital to meet regulatory requirements, and, if we fail to maintain sufficient capital, whether due to growth opportunities, losses or an inability to raise additional capital or otherwise, our financial condition, liquidity and results of operations, as well as our compliance with regulatory requirements, would be adversely affected.
  • Because our total assets exceed $10 billion, we are subject to heightened regulatory requirements, which could have an adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations.
  • Our deposit operations are subject to extensive regulation, and we expect additional regulatory requirements to be implemented in the future.
  • Our FDIC deposit insurance premiums and assessments may increase.
  • Adverse developments or concerns affecting the financial services industry or specific financial institutions could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.
  • We may incur increased costs to comply with privacy and data security laws and regulations and, to the extent we fail to comply, we could be subject to government enforcement actions, private claims and litigation, adverse publicity, loss of customers, and other negative outcomes.
  • The low trading volume in our common stock may adversely affect your ability to resell shares at prices that you find attractive or at all.
  • Future sales of shares of our common stock by existing shareholders could depress the market price of our common stock.
  • There can be no assurance that we will continue to pay cash dividends on our common stock.
  • The Company’s common stock is subordinate to the Company’s existing and future preferred stock.
