NEW YORK, Aug. 7, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Sutherland Asset
Management Corporation ("Sutherland" or the "Company") (NYSE: SLD)
today reported financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2018.
Second Quarter Highlights:
- Net income of $15.9 million, or
$0.48 per share of common stock
- Core earnings of $15.8 million,
or $0.47 per share of common
stock
- Return on Equity of 11.2%
- Adjusted net book value of $16.95
per share of common stock as of June 30,
2018
- Originated $352.4 million of
small balance commercial ("SBC") loans
- Originated $48.3 million of loans
guaranteed by the U.S. Small Business Administration (the "SBA")
under its Section 7(a) loan program
- Originated $498.6 million of
residential mortgage loans
- Acquired $131.5 million of SBC
loans and $11.3 million of SBA
loans
- Completed CLO issuance of $278.3
million of originated transitional loans and sold
$217.1 million of senior bonds at a
floating rate of LIBOR + 121 basis points
A summary of Sutherland's operating results for the quarter
ended June 30, 2018 is presented
below. Sutherland reported U.S. GAAP net income for the three
months ended June 30, 2018 of
$15.9 million, or $0.48 per share of common stock, and Core
Earnings (a non-GAAP financial measure) of $15.8 million, or $0.47 per share of common stock.
Thomas Capasse, Chairman and
Chief Executive Officer commented, "We are pleased with our
financial results. For the second quarter in a row, we achieved our
stated goal of an ROE of at least 10%. This reflects continued
progress in steadily growing our earnings from our stable small
balance commercial origination franchise, combined with alpha from
our acquisition business. The results this quarter, in particular,
begin to demonstrate the earnings potential of our diversified
platform. Strong loan origination volumes, portfolio
performance and favorable pricing on certain investments helped to
offset the decline in the joint venture earnings that drove
outperformance last quarter. We believe these results support
our strategy of having a multi-pronged platform which provides
greater earning diversity compared to single-strategy lenders."
The Company issued a full detailed presentation of its second
quarter 2018 results, which can be viewed in the investor relations
section at www.sutherlandam.com.
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information
In addition to the results presented in accordance with U.S.
GAAP, this press release includes Core Earnings which is a non-U.S.
GAAP financial measure. The Company defines Core Earnings as net
income adjusted for unrealized or realized gains (losses) related
to certain mortgage backed securities, unrealized gains (losses)
related to residential mortgage servicing rights, and one-time
non-recurring gains or losses, such as gains or losses on
discontinued operations, bargain purchase gains or merger related
expenses.
The Company believes that providing investors with this non-U.S.
GAAP financial information, in addition to the related U.S. GAAP
measures, gives investors greater transparency into the information
used by management in its financial and operational
decision-making. However, because Core Earnings is an incomplete
measure of the Company's financial performance and involves
differences from net income computed in accordance with U.S. GAAP,
it should be considered along with, but not as an alternative to,
the Company's net income computed in accordance with U.S. GAAP as a
measure of the Company's financial performance. In addition,
because not all companies use identical calculations, the Company's
presentation of Core Earnings may not be comparable to other
similarly-titled measures of other companies.
The following table reconciles net income computed in accordance
with U.S. GAAP to Core Earnings for the three months ended
June 30, 2018:
