Atrium Mortgage Investment Corporation Achieves Record Revenues and Net Income in Second Quarter of 2019

Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - August 1, 2019) - Atrium Mortgage Investment Corporation (TSX: AI) (TSX: AI.DB) (TSX: AI.DB.B) (TSX: AI.DB.C) (TSX: AI.DB.D) (TSX: AI.DB.E) today released its unaudited financial results for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2019.

Highlights

  • Record revenues of $16.7 million, up 14.0% from the second quarter of the prior year

  • Record net income of $9.7 million, up 12.3% from the second quarter of the prior year

  • $0.25 basic and $0.24 diluted earnings per share for the quarter

  • Record $0.49 basic and $0.48 diluted earnings per share year-to-date

  • Mortgage portfolio increased to $736.0 million, 7.5% increase from December 31, 2018

  • High quality mortgage portfolio

    • 85.0% of portfolio in first mortgages

    • 89.4% of portfolio is less than 75% loan to value

    • average loan-to-value is 60.3%

"We are very pleased with our results for the first half of 2019. Our portfolio grew to $736.0 million, up from $684.4 million at December 31, 2018, despite slowing real estate market conditions. We are lending defensively to ensure that our loan quality is preserved. For example, the average loan to value in the mortgage portfolio continued to trend downwards and first mortgages now represent 85% of our portfolio. We strengthened our balance sheet during the first half of 2019 with the completion of two successful public offerings; a $34.5 million common share issuance and a $28.8 million convertible debenture issuance, both of which had strong demand," said Rob Goodall, CEO of Atrium.

About Atrium

Canada's Premier Non-Bank Lender™

Atrium is a non-bank provider of residential and commercial mortgages that lends in major urban centres in Canada where the stability and liquidity of real estate are high. Atrium's objectives are to provide its shareholders with stable and secure dividends and preserve shareholders' equity by lending within conservative risk parameters. Atrium is a Mortgage Investment Corporation (MIC) as defined in the Canada Income Tax Act, so is not taxed on income provided that its taxable income is paid to its shareholders in the form of dividends within 90 days after December 31 each year.
