Terra Firma Capital Corporation Reports Fourth Quarter & Full Year 2020 Financial Results
All amounts are stated in United States dollars unless otherwise indicated. TORONTO, April 15, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Terra Firma Capital Corporation (TSX-V: TII) ("Terra Firma" or the "Company"), a real estate finance company, today announced its financial results for the three months and year ended December 31, 2020. Full Year 2020 Financial Highlights: Total Assets of $133.1 millionTotal Investments (a non-IFRS financial measure)(1) of $122.6 millionTotal Assets under management ("AUM," a non-IFRS financial measure) (4) of $145.1 millionBook Value per share increased by 3.9% to $7.40 (CA$9.41(3)) per shareCA$0.20 per share paid in dividendsRevenues decreased by 7.2% to $15.5 millionNet income and comprehensive income decreased by 29.5% to $2.2 millionAdjusted net income and comprehensive income (a non-IFRS financial measure)(2) decreased by 13.9% to $2.9 millionBasic and diluted earnings per share decreased by 27.8% to $0.39 (CA$0.52(3))Adjusted basic and diluted earnings per share (a non-IFRS financial measure)(2) decreased by 13.6% to $0.51 (CA$0.68(3)) Q4 2020 Financial Highlights: Revenues decreased by 22.5% to $3.6 millionCA$0.05 per share paid in quarterly dividendsNet income and comprehensive income decreased by 4.3% to $846,000Adjusted net income and comprehensive income(2) decreased by 48.1% to $532,000Basic and diluted earnings per share decreased by 6.3% to $0.15 (CA$0.20(3))Adjusted basic and diluted earnings per share(2) decreased by 44.4% to $0.10 (CA$0.13(3)) "Despite the challenges that faced Terra Firma over 2020 from the COVID-19 crisis, the Company made great strides in implementing systems and protocols to manage and safeguard its operations and capital effectively. The Company remained profitable throughout the pandemic. However, there was an overall decrease in net income for the fiscal year 2020. Two factors contributed to this decline. First, the tremendous strength of the U.S. housing market resulted in faster repayments of loan investments. Second, we deliberately decreased our loan originations in the second and third quarters due to the uncertainties related to the pandemic. Nevertheless, we generated loan originations totaling over $39 million in the fourth quarter of 2020, which along with the loan originations expected in 2021, should have a delayed effect on the overall increase in AUM in 2021 as unfunded commitments are deployed over time," commented Glenn Watchorn, Chief Executive Officer of Terra Firma Capital Corporation. "The good news is that Terra Firma is emerging from the pandemic as a stronger company. Terra Firma has not only successfully kept its key management personnel but has also put in place significant groundwork to excel once the pandemic is over. Since the beginning of the pandemic, the Company started planning the creation of several new investment funds. In January this year, it closed its first fund totaling $37.5 million, which offers the Company the flexibility to originate land banking transactions without having to deal with the sourcing of capital for these investments. Terra Firma also managed to strengthen the relationship with some of its builders and developers, including two large homebuilders, which combined have already provided the Company with over $50 million of loan originations since August 2020. With the expected increase in loan and investment originations in 2021, Terra Firma is poised for significant growth both in AUM and net income in 2021 and beyond." For the year ended December 31, 2020, revenues decreased 7.2% to $15.5 million, compared to $16.7 million during the same period in 2019. The decrease in revenues is primarily due to interest and fee income decreasing by 15.6% to $12.7 million compared to $15.0 million in 2019. The repayments of loans and mortgage investments after December 31, 2019, resulted in a decrease in interest fees earned by $6.7 million. The decrease is partially offset by interest and fees earned of $1.5 million on loan and mortgage investments funded after December 31, 2019, and an increase in interest and fees of $2.9 million earned on loan and mortgage investments and convertible note receivable existed December 31, 2019. Finance income in 2020 was $2.6 million, compared to $1.5 million in the previous year, due to an increase in investment in finance leases. For the three months ended December 31, 2020, revenues decreased 22.5% to $3.6 million, compared to $4.6 million during the same period in 2019, primarily due to a decrease of interest and fee income by 28.2% to $2.9 million compared to $4.0 million in 2019. The decrease in interest fees earned of $2.2 million is attributable to loan repayments and mortgage investments in 2020. This was partially offset by interest and fees earned of $989,000 on loan and mortgage investments funded after December 31, 2019, and an increase in interest and fees earned of $35,000 on loan and mortgage investments and convertible note receivable existed December 31, 2019. Finance income in 2020 was $643,000, compared to $541,000 in the previous year, due to an increase in investment in finance leases. Interest and financing expense for the year ended December 31, 2020, decreased by 10.8% to $8.2 million, compared to $9.2 million in the same period last year. Interest and financing expense for the three months ended December 31, 2020, decreased by 24.8% to $1.8 million, compared to $2.4 million in the same period last year. General and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2020, was $3.3 million compared to $3.4 million for the same period last year. General and administrative expenses for the three months ended December 31, 2020, was $1.2 million compared to $1.1 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 in arrears. The net income and comprehensive income attributable to common shareholders for the year ended December 31, 2020, was $2.2 million or $0.39 per basic and diluted share compared to $3.1 million or $0.54 per basic share and diluted share for the year ended December 31, 2019. The net income and comprehensive income attributable to common shareholders for the three months ended December 31, 2020, was $846,000 or $0.15 per basic and diluted share compared to $884,000 million or $0.16 per basic and diluted share for the same period last year. The Company's Total Investments(1) at December 31, 2020, was $122.6 million, compared to $142.4 million at December 31, 2020, a decrease of 13.9% or $19.9 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. The principal balance of the Company's loan and mortgage syndications decreased to $71.4 million at December 31, 2020, as compared to $88.2 million at December 31, 2019, representing a decrease of 19.1%.
