Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - August 3, 2023) - Atrium Mortgage Investment Corporation (TSX: AI) today released its financial results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023.

Highlights

  • Record quarterly net income of $14.4 million, up 35.2% from the comparative period

  • Quarterly basic and diluted earnings per share of $0.33 and $0.32 respectively

  • High quality mortgage portfolio of $824.6 million

    • 96.2% of portfolio in first mortgages

    • 98.0% of portfolio is less than 75% loan to value

    • average loan-to-value is 59.8%

"Atrium continued to produce outstanding results for shareholders in the second quarter. We posted record net income of $14.4 million, and our EPS of $0.33 matched the record set in the first quarter. Our mortgage portfolio was down marginally over the quarter to $824.6 million due to slower market conditions, and delayed closings. But revenues grew on the heels of higher interest rates because 84.6% of our loans are now structured on a floating rate basis. Our main focus continues to be maintaining a low risk and resilient mortgage portfolio that can withstand the stresses of the current real estate downturn. For example, the average loan to value in the portfolio is only 59.8%, and 96.2% of our mortgage portfolio are first mortgages which is the highest percentage in our history as a public company. We also have no impaired loans to report, but we still have a healthy 150 basis point loan loss provision in place. We continue to evaluate new loan opportunities within our tight risk parameters and remain cautiously optimistic that we can increase the size of our portfolio over the balance of the year," said Rob Goodall, CEO of Atrium.
