Timbercreek Financial Announces 2024 Second Quarter Results

Timbercreek Financial (TSX: TF) (the “Company”) announced today its financial results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 (“Q2 2024”).

Q2 2024 Highlights1

• The net mortgage investment portfolio increased by $25.8 million to $1,003.4 million at the end of Q2 2024 from $977.5 million at the end of Q1 2024 (Q2 2023 – $1,123.7 million).
• Net investment income of $26.4 million compared to $31.5 million in Q2 2023.
• Net income and comprehensive income of $15.4 million (Q2 2023 – $16.9 million) or basic earnings per share of $0.19 (Q2 2023 – $0.20).
• Distributable income of $16.3 million (Q2 2023 – $17.8 million) or distributable income per share of $0.20 (Q2 2023 – $0.21 per share).
• Declared a total of $14.3 million in dividends to shareholders, or $0.17 per share, reflecting a distributable income payout ratio of 87.8% (Q2 2023 - 81.1%).
• The quarterly weighted average interest rate on net mortgage investments was 9.8% in Q2 2024, compared to 9.9% in Q1 2024 (Q2 2023 – 9.8%). Interest rate exposure in the net mortgage investment portfolio was well protected at the end of Q2 2024, floating rate loans with rate floors representing 78.3% (Q2 2023 – 88.3%) of net mortgage investment portfolio.
• Maintained conservative portfolio risk composition focused on income-producing commercial real estate:
  • 62.3% weighted average loan-to-value;  
  • 85.6% first mortgages in mortgage investment portfolio; and
  • 83.4% of mortgage investment portfolio is invested in cash-flowing properties.
• The Company continues to focus on the resolution of its staged loans, utilizing active asset management strategies and continues to make significant progress. The Company's management team is very experienced in navigating these situations and is well positioned to strategically work through these loans to ensure the best outcomes in light of the current economic environment.

“The overall portfolio performed solidly in the second quarter, as we reported improved sequential results and demonstrated our ability to generate consistent healthy cash flows and dividends with a conservative payout ratio, despite a transitioning commercial real estate backdrop,” said Blair Tamblyn, CEO of Timbercreek Financial. “We continue to have success redeploying capital into high-quality loans as we expand the portfolio back to historical levels. The positive macro backdrop from recent Bank of Canada rate cuts is further enhancing the deal flow pipeline, and we expect to see increased financing opportunities as transaction activity in most asset classes grows. We believe these conditions are key factors to support a recovery in commercial real estate fundamentals, and the company is well positioned to deploy capital in this environment and grow the portfolio through the balance of the year.”

Mr. Tamblyn added: “During the quarter, our team also continued to focus on resolving the remaining staged loans through highly active asset management efforts. We are making good progress on these select situations and remain confident both in the underlying value of the assets and our ability to navigate these situations to ensure the best outcomes for our shareholders.”

Non-IFRS Measures

The Company prepares and releases financial statements in accordance with IFRS. As a complement to results provided in accordance with IFRS, the Company discloses certain financial measures not recognized under IFRS and that do not have standard meanings prescribed by IFRS (collectively the "non-IFRS measures"). These non-IFRS measures are further described in Management's Discussion and Analysis ("MD&A") available on SEDAR+. Certain non-IFRS measures relating to net mortgages, adjusted net income and comprehensive income and adjusted distributable income have been shown below. The Company has presented such non-IFRS measures because the Manager believes they are relevant measures of the Company’s ability to earn and distribute cash dividends to shareholders and to evaluate its performance. The following non-IFRS financial measures should not be construed as alternatives to total net income and comprehensive income or cash flows from operating activities as determined in accordance with IFRS as indicators of the Company’s performance.

When used in this news release, the words "may", "would", "should", "could", "will", "intend", "plan", "anticipate", "believe", "estimate", "expect", "objective" and similar expressions may be used to identify forward looking statements. By their nature, forward looking statements reflect the Company's current views, beliefs, assumptions and intentions and are subject to certain risks and uncertainties, known and unknown, including, without limitation, those risks disclosed in the Company's public filings. Many factors could cause actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements that may be expressed or implied by these forward looking statements. The Company does not intend to nor assumes any obligation to update these forward looking statements whether as a result of new information, plans, events or otherwise, unless required by law.
