Timbercreek Financial Announces 2020 Second Quarter Results


TORONTO, Aug. 07, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Timbercreek Financial (TSX: TF) (the “Company”) announced today its financial results for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2020 (“Q2 2020”).

Q2 2020 Highlights

  • Lower new investment volume was offset by lower repayments and higher renewals resulting in quarterly growth of the mortgage portfolio to $1,210.3 million in Q2 compared to $1,191.1 million in Q1
     
  • Maintained conservative portfolio risk position focused on income-producing commercial real estate
    • 92.1% of mortgage investment portfolio are first mortgages
    • 85.8% of mortgage investment portfolio is invested in cash-flowing properties
    • 68.7% weighted average loan-to-value
    • 7.1% quarterly weighted average interest rate on net mortgage investment
       
  • Delivered adjusted net income and comprehensive income of $11.5 million and distributable income of $14.8 million
  • Generated $0.18 in distributable income per share
  • Paid $14.2 million in dividends to shareholders

“More than four months into the COVID-19 pandemic, our mortgage portfolio continues to perform well, demonstrating resilience and reinforcing the value of our conservative approach of focusing on income-producing assets in urban markets,” said Cameron Goodnough, CEO of Timbercreek Financial. “While there has been no material impact on interest and principal payments to date, we continue to monitor the loan portfolio very closely. As we have said previously, the longer and deeper the economic impact of COVID-19, the greater the implications for our borrowers and their tenants. One consequence of the current environment was a slowdown in transaction activity across the industry, resulting in lower turnover and more renewals in our portfolio during Q2. We continue to meet our distributable income targets and have a strong capital position to take advantage of improved transaction volumes in the coming quarters.”
