Timbercreek Financial Announces 2025 First Quarter Results

Yahoo05-05-2025

TORONTO, May 05, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Timbercreek Financial (TSX: TF) (the 'Company') announced today its financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2025 ('Q1 2025').
Q1 2025 Highlights1
Strong top-line income and distributable income:
Net investment income of $28.6 million compared to $24.6 million in Q1 2024.
Net income and comprehensive income of $14.8 million (Q1 2024 – $14.4 million) or basic earnings per share of $0.18 (Q1 2024 – $0.17).
Distributable income of $15.4 million ($0.19 per share) compared with $15.8 million ($0.19 per share) in Q1 2024.
Declared a total of $14.3 million in dividends to shareholders, or $0.17 per share, reflecting a distributable income payout ratio of 92.8% (Q1 2024 – 90.6%).
The dividend remains well-covered and at the current trading price of $7.00 represent a 9.9% yield – a 7.3% premium over the 2-year Canadian bond yield (2.6% as at May 2, 2025).
The net mortgage investment portfolio increased by $101.6 million or 10.4% over the prior year and decreased modestly by $10.6 million to $1,079.2 million in Q1 2025.
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% relative to a 2.3% drop in the Bank of Canada prime rate over the same period. At the end of Q1 2025, variable rate loans with rate floors represented 84.8% of the portfolio (Q1 2024 – 88.6%) and 87.8% 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.
In March, the Company completed the sale of a Quebec-based retirement asset. This transaction resulted in full recovery of real estate held for sale and a repayment of the Company's real estate collateral liability.
'It was a solid first quarter, with healthy income levels allowing us to build on our long-term track record of stable monthly dividends that deliver a premium yield to shareholders,' said Blair Tamblyn, CEO of Timbercreek Financial. 'The transaction pipeline remains robust, with some expected delays due to broader volatility in financial markets. Periods such as this underscore the resiliency of our strategy and our core asset classes, led by multi-residential. During the quarter, our team also continued to advance the remaining staged loans and expects material progress during 2025."

Malaysian Tycoon Lim Han Weng In Talks For A Potential Yinson Deal

A floating production, storage and offloading vessel built by Yinson. Yinson Holdings said its chairman Lim Han Weng is in talks with several parties for a potential deal involving his shareholding in the Kuala Lumpur-listed energy giant. 'Given that the discussions are still at an exploratory stage, there is currently no conclusive indication that the discussions would give rise to a corporate proposal involving Yinson,' the company said in a statement to Bursa Malaysia. While the statement didn't identify the parties Lim is in talks with, Bloomberg reported last week that the Lim family was in exclusive talks with New York-based Stonepeak Partners to take Yinson private in a deal valuing the company at 9 billion ringgit ($2.1 billion). That's at a 38% premium to Yinson's market capitalization of 6.5 billion ringgit. Yinson was founded in 1984 by Lim and his wife, Bah Kim Lian, as a transport and trading company. It has since diversified into energy infrastructure and is now one the world's largest operators of floating production, storage and offloading (FPSO) vessels that it leases to oil and gas companies in Angola, Brazil, Ghana and Vietnam. Its FPSO vessel operating unit raised $1 billion in January from the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority, British Columbia Investment Management and Singapore-based private equity firm RRJ Capital. In 2020, Yinson diversified into renewable energy and now has solar plants in India and Peru. With a net worth of $480 million, the Lim family ranked no. 41 in Forbes Asia's list of Malaysia's richest that was published in April this year.
