  • The quarterly weighted average interest rate on net mortgage investments was 9.8% in Q2 2024, compared to 9.9% in Q1 2024 (Q2 2023 – 9.8%). Interest rate exposure in the net mortgage investment portfolio was well protected at the end of Q2 2024, floating rate loans with rate floors representing 78.3% (Q2 2023 – 88.3%) of net mortgage investment portfolio.

  • Maintained conservative portfolio risk composition focused on income-producing commercial real estate:

    • 62.3% weighted average loan-to-value;

    • 85.6% first mortgages in mortgage investment portfolio; and

    • 83.4% of mortgage investment portfolio is invested in cash-flowing properties.

  • The Company continues to focus on the resolution of its staged loans, utilizing active asset management strategies and continues to make significant progress. The Company's management team is very experienced in navigating these situations and is well positioned to strategically work through these loans to ensure the best outcomes in light of the current economic environment.

“The overall portfolio performed solidly in the second quarter, as we reported improved sequential results and demonstrated our ability to generate consistent healthy cash flows and dividends with a conservative payout ratio, despite a transitioning commercial real estate backdrop,” said Blair Tamblyn, CEO of Timbercreek Financial. “We continue to have success redeploying capital into high-quality loans as we expand the portfolio back to historical levels. The positive macro backdrop from recent Bank of Canada rate cuts is further enhancing the deal flow pipeline, and we expect to see increased financing opportunities as transaction activity in most asset classes grows. We believe these conditions are key factors to support a recovery in commercial real estate fundamentals, and the company is well positioned to deploy capital in this environment and grow the portfolio through the balance of the year.”
