Builders Capital Mortgage Corp. Reports First Quarter Results

By: Newsfile

Builders Capital Takes Advantage of Market Positioning to Improve Results

Calgary, Alberta--(Newsfile Corp. - May 25, 2021) - Builders Capital Mortgage Corp. (TSXV: BCF) ("Builders Capital" or "the Company") announces that it has released its first quarter financial results for the period ending March 31, 2021.

Highlights include:

  • Current mortgage portfolio grew by 8.7%
  • Total comprehensive income increased by 18.6% over Q1 2020 and 7.8% over the prior quarter
  • Assets held for sale were reduced by 18.7% year-over-year
  • Consistent with our targeted distribution, dividends paid to Class A public shareholders in the quarter were $0.1972 per share, representing an 8% annual return on the original $10.00 issue price
  • Builders Capital has achieved its 8% distribution target for the 29th consecutive quarter since inception
  • In line with targets, a weighted average loan-to-value ratio of approximately 75% was achieved in the mortgage portfolio

In commenting on these results, Sandy Loutitt, President of Builders Capital, stated:

"At Builders Capital, we have just experienced the highest rate of mortgage payouts for any six-month period in our history. This is due in no small measure to the rapidly improving real estate markets seen through late 2020 and early 2021. These market conditions have permitted our borrowing clients to sell their completed projects much faster than they have been able to over the past several years. Coupled with the improving prices in these markets, we have also been able to focus on reducing our inventory of foreclosed properties. The resulting influx of cash has allowed us to pursue additional mortgage loans through the past couple of months and we will once again be fully invested very shortly. In addition, we continue to evaluate and pursue lending activity outside of Alberta as we drive for additional geographic diversification. Overall, and thanks to the execution of a business plan designed to both defend against certain market risks while allowing the Company to be well-positioned to take advantage of improving conditions, we continue to provide a solid base for investor confidence and positive returns."

About Builders Capital

Builders Capital is a mortgage lender providing short-term course-of-construction financing to builders of residential, wood-frame properties in Western Canada. The Company commenced active operations on December 12, 2013 on the closing of its initial public offering, whereupon it acquired a portfolio of mortgages from two predecessor companies.

Builders Capital's investment objective is to generate attractive returns, relative to risk, in order to provide stable and consistent distributions to shareholders while remaining focused on capital preservation and satisfying the criteria mandated for mortgage investment corporations ("MIC") as defined in the Income Tax Act.

As an MIC, Builders Capital is not subject to income tax provided that it distributes all of its taxable income as dividends to shareholders within 90 days of its December 31st year-end. Such dividends are generally treated by shareholders as interest income, so that each shareholder is in the same tax position as if their proportionate share of mortgage investments made by the company had been made directly by the shareholder.
