Wilmington Announces 2022 Third Quarter Results

Wilmington Capital Management Inc. (“Wilmington” or the “Corporation”) (TSX: WCM.A WCM.B) reported net income for the three months ended September 30, 2022 of $322,000 or $0.03 per share compared to net loss of $501,000 or $0.04 per share for the same period in 2021. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Corporation reported a net income of $2,330,000 or $0.19 per share compared to a net loss of $505,000 or ($0.04) per share for the same period in 2021.

OPERATIONS REVIEW – For the Period Ended September 30, 2022As at September 30, 2022, Wilmington’s assets under management in its operating platforms totaled approximately $373.3 million ($90.3 million representing Wilmington’s share). A summary of the Corporation and the operations of its investee entities is set out below.

MarinasMaple Leaf PartnershipsDuring the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Maple Leaf Partnerships acquired two marinas in Ontario having approximately 804 boat slips (including dry rack slips). The Maple Leaf Partnerships now own and operate 16 marinas in Ontario, having approximately 5,737 slips, which represents an increase of 26% in the number of slips owned a year ago.

Slip occupancies for the 2022 boating season was strong averaging 91% and we are anticipating strong customer retention for the 2023 boating season. The Maple Leaf Partnerships have historically distributed 10% on capital contributed to income producing properties.

Real EstateBow City PartnershipThe Bow City Self Storage facility continues to lease up ahead of expectations with strong year to date move-ins and rental rates. Net move-ins have lagged recently in part due to typical seasonality and in part due to a slowing housing market.

Sunchaser PartnershipThe Sunchaser Partnership experienced strong demand during the 2022 camping season. Customer retention remains high for the 2023 camping season and the transition of overnight sites to seasonal continues.

Private EquityNorthbridge, Northbridge Fund 2016, Northbridge Fund 2021 and Northbridge Fund 2022The fair value of Northbridge Fund 2016 decreased 2%, reflecting a distribution of capital during the three months ended September 30, 2022. Northbridge Fund 2021 and Northbridge Fund 2022 had no change in value, however, the outlook remains positive given continued strength in energy prices and a strategy of investing in “best in class” energy companies.

OutlookDuring the third quarter, the Corporation continued to make progress in advancing its goal of investing in alternative asset classes having advanced follow-on opportunities for each business. The Maple Leaf Partnerships’ negotiations are in the formative stages on a number of new marina acquisitions. The 84-unit waterfront residential development continues to progress, strong pre-sales are in hand, however, labor shortages have slowed the anticipated construction pace. Demand for boating remains strong and the marinas are enjoying high occupancies.

Lease up of Bow City Storage continues to exceed expectations and is a reflection in part of its unique location and management’s experience in the self-storage business. Long term parking was recently added as an additional service offering.

The Sunchaser Partnership continues to benefit from pent up demand for camping showing an increase in year over year seasonal rentals and supports upcoming expansion plans. Final approval for the over 100 site expansion is expected to be received in the fall.

Northbridge and the various funds they manage continue to perform well and Northbridge is focused on seeking out new opportunities given the strong outlook for the energy sector.

The Corporation is well positioned to continue to grow organically and seek out new opportunities in each of its operating platforms.
