Atrium Mortgage Investment Corporation Announces First Quarter Results

By: Newsfile

Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - May 12, 2021) - Atrium Mortgage Investment Corporation (TSX: AI) today released its financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2021.

Highlights

  • Mortgage portfolio of $765.2 million, 2.7% increase from December 31, 2020

  • High quality mortgage portfolio

    • 82.7% of portfolio in first mortgages

    • 92.1% of portfolio is less than 75% loan to value

    • average loan-to-value is 60.7%

  • Quarterly net income of $9.9 million, consistent with the first quarter of the prior year

  • $0.23 basic and diluted earnings per share for the quarter

"Atrium had a solid start to 2021 with $0.23 earnings per share. Our mortgage portfolio grew by $20 million in Q1 with strong originations of $93.2 million. Looking forward, we are cautiously optimistic that the commercial and multi-residential real estate markets, and the economy overall, will gradually strengthen as the vaccination roll out accelerates in Canada. Accordingly, the underwriting team has been expanded by three people since the beginning of the year, giving us more depth in the Toronto and Vancouver offices. The mortgage portfolio remains conservatively positioned with an average loan to value of 60.7%. Notwithstanding this defensive orientation, we continued to increase our aggregate loan loss provision to $10.0 million, which will protect the balance sheet from the effects of pandemic, even if it lingers longer than expected," said Rob Goodall, CEO of Atrium.

Results of operations

For the three months ended March 31, 2021, Atrium reported assets of $774.7 million, up from $755.3 million at the end of 2020. Revenues were $16.5 million, a decrease of 3.6% from the first quarter of the prior year. Net income for the first quarter of 2021 was $9.9 million, consistent with the first quarter of the prior year. Revenues fell slightly as a result of a lower weighted average interest rate in the first quarter of 2021 and timing differences of mortgage advances made during the comparable quarters. This was offset by lower interest expenses during the current quarter due to a lower weighted average cost of borrowing on our credit facility. Atrium's allowance for mortgage losses at March 31, 2021 totaled $10.0 million, or 1.31% of the mortgage portfolio.

Basic and diluted earnings per common share were $0.23 for the three months ended March 31, 2021, compared with $0.23 basic and diluted earnings per common share in the comparable period.

Mortgages receivable as at March 31, 2021 were $758.2 million, an increase of 2.6% from December 31, 2020. During the three months ended March 31, 2021, $93.2 million of mortgage principal was advanced and $72.2 million was repaid. The weighted average interest rate on the mortgage portfolio at March 31, 2021 was 8.58%, compared to 8.65% at December 31, 2020.

Atrium collected 95% of the mortgage interest due in the quarter, which is in line with historical collection rates.
