We Think HIFS Is the B. Riley of Regional Banks. We Believe HIFS Has Undisclosed Foreclosures, Over a Hundred Million in Failing Property Loans, And Is Highly Levered.

HIFS (short): Regional bank transformed into highly levered, concentrated DC CRE play. Undisclosed Jan foreclosures on $5.2M loans ($52M total borrower exposure) not marked non-performing in Q4. $125M+ high-risk loans identified, minimal reserves vs $480M capital. $833M 2021-22 DC CRE loans at 75% reported LTV now ~120%+ implied LTV. Office prices -40% since 2023, multifamily -25% through Jan'24. Trades 1.38x P/B vs KRE 1.20x. See 58%+ downside risk.
