The SBA's live-entertainment bailout was supposed to end two years ago. We still don't know how $1.5 billion was spent.
The Small Business Administration is still tracking down $1.5 billion in federal funds that it spent to keep the live entertainment industry afloat during the pandemic — two years after it was supposed to close out the program. The SBA inspector-general said in a new report that by June 2023 the agency was supposed to have made "every effort" to close out the Shuttered Venue Operators Grant, which doled out money to thousands of music venues, movie theaters, and other entertainment businesses. As of May 2025, however, 1,080 grants were still open, meaning the agency hadn't accounted for how those funds were used. About two-thirds of those grantees hadn't submitted audits or responded to questions about the use of funds, the report said. Business Insider revealed last year that at least $200 million from the program went to successful musicians, some of whom used the money for high-end hotels, private jets, and self-enrichment. By fall 2024, the SBA had identified $544 million in "potentially improper" payments that were supposed to be clawed back from hundreds of recipients, some of whom it determined were never supposed to get a grant in the first place. The SBA began moving earlier this summer to claw back hundreds of grants. Meredith Lynsey Schade, a theatrical producer who advocated for grantees, said the program has generally been a success, but some grantees were being pursued for clawbacks over issues with paperwork. "These recoupment letters are not necessarily about fraud," she said in an email. It's not clear whether any celebrities are among those whose grants are being clawed back. SBA emails that Business Insider received via a public information request last year said that about 70% of the grants spotlighted in BI reporting had already been closed out. Michael Strickland, who runs a lighting company and advocated for the program, said he's been contacted by "hundreds" of people who received clawback letters in recent months. "I've had managers, I've had agents, I've had venue owners, I've had production people, producers of shows," he said. "There's no single continuity to the rules they're being accused of tripping." The SBA has struggled to find a way to recover the money, the agency's internal watchdog said in its report. "As a result of not referring improper payments to the Treasury and not sending demand letters, there is an increased risk that the government will not be able to collect improperly paid SVOG funds." Sen. Joni Ernst, an Iowa Republican who leads the Senate's small business committee, said people who misused funds from the program should be held accountable. She is backing a bill that would give prosecutors an extra five years to bring charges in cases of SVOG fraud. "The Biden administration made almost no effort to recover more than $500 million in improper payments dispersed through the Shuttered Venue Operators Grant program," she said in a statement.

Bankwell Financial Group Reports Operating Results for the Second Quarter, Declares Third Quarter Dividend
NEW CANAAN, Conn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Bankwell Financial Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: BWFG) reported GAAP net income of $9.1 million, or $1.15 per share for the second quarter of 2025, versus $6.9 million, or $0.87 per share, for the first quarter of 2025. The Company's Board of Directors declared a $0.20 per share cash dividend, payable August 22, 2025 to shareholders of record on August 11, 2025. Discussion of Outlook; Bankwell Financial Group Chief Executive Officer, Christopher R. Gruseke: "Our strong second quarter reflects an acceleration of positive trends which have been building over the past year. Notably, our net interest margin increased to 3.10% as a result of our improved funding costs. Loan originations accelerated in the quarter, resulting in $24 million net loan growth, which includes another robust quarter of SBA originations. Having already made the appropriate investments in risk, operations, and technology, the SBA business is on a path to achieve further scale and profitability. Year to date, it has contributed $1.5 million in non-interest income. The combined results of our efforts have increased the Company's return on average assets to 1.14% this quarter and we expect continued improvement in profitability as the year progresses. As we continue to improve the Company's funding with higher quality deposits, we have now welcomed a total of five new deposit-focused private banking teams the year, and we anticipate their contributions will boost deposit growth later this year, with greater impact in 2026. In light of this positive momentum, we are updating our 2025 guidance, to grow net interest income to $97 – $98 million. We reiterate our guidance of $7 - $8 million in noninterest income. We are increasing our noninterest expense guidance to $58 - $59 million, primarily a result of our investments in people. Despite the modestly higher run rate in operating expenses, we expect to see continued improvement to the Company's efficiency ratio in the quarters ahead." Key Points for Second Quarter and Bankwell's Outlook NIM Expansion on Improved Deposit Costs. Reported net interest margin was 3.10%, up 29 basis points from the first quarter of 2025, with reduced deposit costs on both time and non-maturity deposits contributing meaningfully to the linked-quarter expansion. Second quarter cost of deposits of 3.40% improved 20 basis points to linked quarter, with a June 2025 "exit" rate of 3.28%. During the first half of 2025, approximately $745 million of time deposits repriced approximately 80 basis points lower. Furthermore, rate cuts on approximately $1.0 billion of non-maturity interest-bearing deposits yielded a 23 basis point reduction in the same time period. Advancing Key Strategic Priorities. SBA loan sale gains increased to $1.1 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2025, compared to $0.4 million in the first quarter of 2025. The SBA lending vertical delivered $11.8 million in originations during the quarter ended June 30, 2025, with continued growth expected for the remainder of 2025. The Company continues to invest in its deposit gathering capabilities, with the addition of five deposit teams in the New York Metro area; two teams added in April were previously disclosed, one team added after June 30, 2025. For the quarter ended June 30, 2025, the Company realized an efficiency ratio of 56.1%, down from 59.9% for the quarter ended March 31, 2025. Investments in strategic priorities continue to be balanced with revenue generation and improved efficiency. Improving Credit. As of June 30, 2025, nonperforming assets as a percentage of total assets improved to 0.78%, compared to 0.83% as of March 31, 2025. Of the 0.78%, 0.17% is guaranteed by the SBA. ACL-loans as a % of nonperforming loans increased to 122.5%, compared to 111.8% as of March 31, 2025.

(3) Efficiency ratio is defined as noninterest expense, less other real estate owned expenses and amortization of intangible assets, divided by our operating revenue, which is equal to net interest income plus noninterest income excluding gains and losses on sales of securities and gains and losses on other real estate owned. In our judgment, the adjustments made to operating revenue allow investors and analysts to better assess our operating expenses in relation to our core operating revenue by removing the volatility that is associated with certain one-time items and other discrete items that are unrelated to our core business. (4) The dividend payout ratio is calculated by dividing dividends per share by earnings per share. (5) Represents Bank ratios. Current period capital ratios are preliminary subject to finalization of the FDIC Call Report. (6) Return on average assets is calculated by dividing annualized net income by average assets. Pre-tax, pre-provision net revenue return on average is calculated by dividing PPNR (using the "Pre-Tax, Pre-Provision Net Revenue (PPNR) section of this document by average assets.

Net interest margin is calculated by dividing average annualized net interest income by average total earning assets. Noninterest expense to average assets is calculated by dividing annualized noninterest expense by average total assets.

Expand Pre-Tax, Pre-Provision Net Revenue (1) ("PPNR") PPNR for the second quarter ended June 30, 2025 was $11.4 million, an increase of 20.9% from $9.4 million recognized for the first quarter ended March 31, 2025.

The increase in revenues for the quarter ended June 30, 2025 was mainly attributable to reduced funding costs. Additional favorability for the quarter ended June 30, 2025 is attributed to growth in gains on sale of SBA loans. The net interest margin (fully taxable equivalent basis) for the quarters ended June 30, 2025 and March 31, 2025 was 3.10% and 2.81%, respectively. The increase in the net interest margin was mainly due to reduced funding costs. Total non-interest expense of $14.5 million increased 2.9% compared to the first quarter, which was mainly driven by increase in salaries and employee benefits.

Sacchetti, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of Bankwell Financial Group at (203) 652-0166 or at ir@ For more information, visit This press release may contain certain forward-looking statements about the Company. Forward-looking statements include statements regarding anticipated future events and can be identified by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. They often include words such as 'believe,' 'expect,' 'anticipate,' 'estimate,' and 'intend' or future or conditional verbs such as 'will,' 'would,' 'should,' 'could,' or 'may.' Forward-looking statements, by their nature, are subject to risks and uncertainties. Certain factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from expected results include increased competitive pressures, changes in the interest rate environment, general economic conditions or conditions within the banking industry or securities markets, and legislative and regulatory changes that could adversely affect the business in which the Company and its subsidiaries are engaged. Non-GAAP Financial Measures In addition to evaluating the Company's financial performance in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), management may evaluate certain non-GAAP financial measures, such as the efficiency ratio. A computation and reconciliation of certain non-GAAP financial measures used for these purposes is contained in the accompanying Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Measures tables. We believe that providing certain non-GAAP financial measures provides investors with information useful in understanding our financial performance, our performance trends and financial position. For example, the Company believes that the efficiency ratio is useful in the assessment of financial performance, including noninterest expense control. The Company believes that tangible common equity, tangible assets, tangible common equity to tangible assets, tangible common shareholders' equity, fully diluted tangible book value per common share, operating revenue, efficiency ratio, noninterest expense to average assets, average tangible common equity, annualized return on average tangible common equity, return on average assets, return on average shareholders' equity, pre-tax, pre-provision net revenue, net interest margin, net loan charge-offs as a percentage of average loans, pre-tax, pre-provision net revenue on average assets, and the dividend payout ratio are useful to evaluate the relative strength of the Company's performance and capital position. We utilize these measures for internal planning and forecasting purposes.
