Terra Firma Capital Corporation Reports Third Quarter 2020 Financial Results
All amounts are stated in United States dollars unless otherwise indicated.TORONTO, Nov. 18, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Terra Firma Capital Corporation (TSX-V: TII) ("Terra Firma" or the "Company"), a real estate finance company, today released its financial results for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2020.Q3 2020 Financial Highlights: * Total Investments(1) of $123.7 million * Book Value(2) per share of $7.28 (CDN$9.70(4)) * Paid CDN$0.05 in quarterly dividend * Revenues decreased by 1.3% to $4.1 million * Adjusted net income and comprehensive income(3) decreased 2.6% to $884,000 * Adjusted basic and diluted earnings per share(3) remained the same at $0.16 (CDN$0.21(4))Update on COVID-19 Response: * Started to open its office on a limited-scale and voluntary basis * Commenced origination activities beginning of Q3 2020 * Conducts the current origination activities through virtual meetings, limited employee travel to the U.S., adhering to the quarantining protocols * Preserved strong balance sheet and ample liquidity with $3.8 million of cash and $18.0 million of the available line of credit"While the U.S. housing sector continues to be one of the few shining stars during the COVID-19 crisis, the benefit to the Company will have a delayed effect given the faster repayments from borrowers experiencing higher sales volumes and the halt in new originations in the first half of the year for precautionary measures. These higher sales volumes are, however, leading to a significant increase in the demand for new housing lots and in turn, financing for new land developments. Consequently, the Company's pipeline of new transactions has increased significantly since the end of Q2 2020, as evidenced by the $36 million of new originations closed in Q3 2020, of which $28 million has been funded. However, the total investments is lower due to the net repayments of loan investments and finance leases," commented Glenn Watchorn, Chief Executive Officer of Terra Firma Capital Corporation. "We continue to follow strong protocols to safeguard our employees and capital during this pandemic and are proceeding with originations using a defensive approach given the inherent economic uncertainty in short to medium term in both the U.S. and Canada. Overall, however, I am very pleased with our Q3 2020 adjusted net income result and am very optimistic that we will be able to grow our assets under management and net income significantly over the next year."For the three-month period ended September 30, 2020, revenues decreased 1.3% to $4.1 million, compared to $4.2 million during the same period in 2019. Interest and fee income decreased by 4.3% to $3.4 million compared to $3.6 million in 2019, primarily due to $1.5 million of loss of interest and fees revenue from loan and mortgage investments repaid after September 30, 2019. The decrease was partially offset by an increase in interest and fees of $1.2 million from new loans funded subsequent to September 30, 2019, and $103,000 of additional interest earned from loans existed at September 30, 2019. Finance income increased by 18.2% to $635,000 from $537,000, due to an increase in investment in finance leases.For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2020, revenues decreased 1.3% to $11.9 million, compared to $12.0 million during the same period in 2019. Interest and fee income decreased by 10.9% to $9.8 million compared to $11.0 million in 2019, primarily due to $4.8 million of loss of interest and fees revenue from loan and mortgage investments repaid after September 30, 2019. The decrease was partially offset by an increase in interest and fees of $3.1 million from new loans funded subsequent to June 30, 2019, and $481,000 of additional interest earned from loans existed at September 30, 2019. Finance income increased by 109.6% to $2.0 million from $956,000, due to an increase in investment in finance leases.Interest and financing expense for the three-month period ended September 30, 2020, decreased by 16.5% to $2.0 million compared to $2.4 million in the same period last year.Interest and financing expense for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2020, decreased by 5.7% to $6.4 million compared to $6.7 million in the same period last year.General and administrative expenses for the three-month period ended September 30, 2020, was $618,000 compared to $671,000 for the same period last year. General and administrative expenses for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2020, was $2.1 million compared to $2.2 million for the same period last year. The decrease in general and administrative expenses was primarily due to the Company not incurring legal fees relating to a loan that was in arrears.During the three-month period ended September 30, 2020, the Company provided a recovery of loan and mortgage investment loss of $18,000 compared to an allowance of nil in the same period last year.During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2020, the Company provided an allowance for uncollectible receivable of $161,000 compared to nil in the same period last year and an allowance for loan and mortgage investment loss of $899,000 compared to a recovery of $152,000 in the same period last year.The net income and comprehensive income for the three-month period ended September 30, 2020, was $1.1 million or $0.20 per basic and diluted share compared to net income and comprehensive income of $1.0 million or $0.18 per basic and diluted share for the same period last year. The net income and comprehensive income for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2020, was $1.3 million or $0.24 per basic and diluted share compared to net income and comprehensive income of $2.2 million or $0.38 per basic and diluted share for the same period last year. The net income for the three and nine months period was impacted primarily by an additional provision for loan investment and other receivable losses, the share of loss from investment in associates, along with the unrealized foreign exchange losses from the devaluation of the Canadian dollar and resulting increase in provision for income for the purposes of Canadian taxes.The Company's Total Investments(2) at September 30, 2020, was $123.7 million, compared to $141.5 million at September 30, 2019, a decrease of 12.6% or $17.8 million, primarily due to net repayments in loan and mortgage investments, which was partially offset by net fundings in investment in finance leases. The Company ceased all origination activities during the first half of the year due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The Company commenced origination activities beginning of Q3 2020. During the three-month period ended September 30, 2020, the Company's Total Investments(2) increased by $6.8 million, primarily due to fundings of loan and mortgage investments and investment in finance leases of $35.0 million, which was partially offset by repayments of loan and mortgage investments and investment in finance leases of $28.3 million.The principal balance of the Company's loan and mortgage syndications from $82.9 million at September 30, 2019 to $69.5 million at September 30, 2020, decreased by $13.4 million or 16.2%.With the presence of COVID-19, the Company foresees an opportunity to finance distressed assets. The Company intends to create a debt fund to take advantage of this opportunity. The Company expects the debt fund to be operational in Q4 2020.The Company's Management’s Discussion & Analysis and Financial Statements as at, and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 have been filed and are available under the Company’s profile on SEDAR (www.sedar.com).About Terra FirmaTerra Firma is a full service, publicly traded real estate finance company that provides real estate financings secured by investment properties and real estate developments in Canada and throughout the United States.
