Timbercreek Financial Announces 2025 First Quarter Results
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."

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.

Exclusive: Crypto security startup Hypernative raises $40M
Hypernative, a provider of real-time threat prevention for crypto companies, raised $40 million in Series B funding, its founders tell Axios exclusively. Why it matters: Security remains a major barrier to mass adoption of crypto, which is plagued by increasingly sophisticated hacks and exploits. How it works: Hypernative's technology monitors blockchain transactions to detect and respond to potential threats before they happen. "We know how to classify that preparation and then essentially front-run their attacks before they're actually triggering it," Hypernative CTO Dan Caspi explains. Its platform identifies patterns of on-chain preparations that attackers typically make before launching an exploit. Using AI and machine learning models, it tracks and analyzes on-chain and off-chain data sources, simulating transaction outcomes to protect users and assets in real time. State of play: The crypto security market is becoming increasingly competitive, with numerous startups offering solutions to prevent hacks, fraud and exploits. By the numbers: Israel-based Hypernative serves more than 200 customers, protecting assets totaling over $100 billion. In 2024, the platform detected over $2.2 billion in potential losses from hacks and exploits, a 22% increase from the previous year, the company says. "We've already saved huge amounts of money in real time for customers and non-customers," Hypernative CEO Gal Sagie says. Case in point:"Just yesterday, there was a protocol that was not a customer of ours, and we managed to reach out to them and saved around $10 million," he adds. Zoom out: Traditional financial institutions are increasingly becoming interested in blockchain technology, driven by regulatory clarity and institutional demand for digital assets. "With the new regulation and the new administration, we see a lot of demand from more traditional financial institutions," Sagie says. Zoom in: Ten Eleven Ventures and Ballistic Ventures led the round, which included participation from StepStone Group, Boldstart Ventures and the IBI Tech Fund.
