Timbercreek Financial Announces 2025 Second Quarter Results

TORONTO, July 30, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Timbercreek Financial (TSX: TF) (the “Company”) announced today its financial results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 (“Q2 2025”).

Q2 2025 Highlights1

  • Steady top-line income and distributable income:
    • Net investment income of $25.2 million compared to $26.4 million in Q2 2024.
    • Net income and comprehensive income of $12.4 million (Q2 2024 – $15.4 million) or basic earnings per share of $0.15 (Q2 2024 – $0.19).
    • Distributable income of $14.6 million ($0.18 per share) compared with $16.3 million ($0.20 per share) in Q2 2024.
    • Declared a total of $14.3 million in dividends to shareholders, or $0.17 per share, reflecting a distributable income payout ratio of 97.8% (Q2 2024 – 87.8%).
    • At the current trading price of $7.79, the dividend continues to represent an attractive 8.9% yield – a 6.1% premium over the 2-year Canadian bond yield (2.8% as at July 29, 2025).
  • The net mortgage investment portfolio increased by $34.8 million from Q1 2025 to $1,114.0 million in Q2 2025, and increased by $110.6 million or 11.0% over the prior year. New loan originations in the quarter were more heavily weighted toward the end of the period.
  • The Company continues to demonstrate strong progress in resolving its remaining staged loans, with over $80.0 million of Stage 2 and 3 loans addressed in Q2 2025 and to date in Q3 2025 – $64.5 million in the second quarter and an additional $18.2 million in July 2025, consistent with the expectations outlined in our Q1 2025 disclosure.
  • The weighted average interest rate (“WAIR”) on the portfolio remains resilient due to a high percentage of variable rate loans with protection of interest rate floors – as indicated by the Company’s WAIR decreasing by 1.2% versus 2.3% drop in the Bank of Canada prime rate over the same period. At the end of Q2 2025, variable rate loans with rate floors represented 87.4% of the portfolio (Q2 2024 – 78.3%) and 90.3% of these variable rate loans with floors are currently at their floor rates.
  • While the Company continues to monitor developments closely with respect to tariffs and the potential impact to certain borrowers, its core asset class multi-family residential is expected to be well protected from any near-term implications and tends to perform well in periods of economic uncertainty.

“The second quarter delivered solid performance across most key metrics,” said Blair Tamblyn, CEO of Timbercreek Financial. “Despite ongoing tariff-related macro volatility, commercial real estate conditions are positive in our key segments, and this is reflected in our growing portfolio and pipeline. Rates have stabilized in a more typical range, creating a positive backdrop as we look to further portfolio expansion. We’re also pleased with the progress on our remaining staged loans, which is freeing up capital for new, higher-yielding investments.”

Non-IFRS Measures

The Company prepares and releases financial statements in accordance with IFRS. As a complement to results provided in accordance with IFRS, the Company discloses certain financial measures not recognized under IFRS and that do not have standard meanings prescribed by IFRS (collectively the “non-IFRS measures”). These non-IFRS measures are further described in Management’s Discussion and Analysis (“MD&A”) available on SEDAR+. Certain non-IFRS measures relating to net mortgages have been shown below. The Company has presented such non-IFRS measures because the Manager believes they are relevant measures of the Company’s ability to earn and distribute cash dividends to shareholders and to evaluate its performance. The following non-IFRS financial measures should not be construed as alternatives to total net income and comprehensive income or cash flows from operating activities as determined in accordance with IFRS as indicators of the Company’s performance.

Certain statements contained in this news release may contain projections and “forward looking statements” within the meaning of that phrase under Canadian securities laws. When used in this news release, the words “may”, “would”, “should”, “could”, “will”, “intend”, “plan”, “anticipate”, “believe”, “estimate”, “expect”, “objective” and similar expressions may be used to identify forward looking statements. By their nature, forward looking statements reflect the Company’s current views, beliefs, assumptions and intentions and are subject to certain risks and uncertainties, known and unknown, including, without limitation, those risks disclosed in the Company’s public filings. Many factors could cause actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements that may be expressed or implied by these forward looking statements. The Company does not intend to nor assumes any obligation to update these forward looking statements whether as a result of new information, plans, events or otherwise, unless required by law.
