NEW YORK, May 8, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Ready Capital Corporation ("Ready Capital" or the "Company") (NYSE: RC), a multi-strategy real estate finance company that originates, acquires, finances, and services small- to medium-sized balance commercial loans, today reported financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2019. A summary of Ready Capital's operating results for the quarter ended March 31, 2019 is presented below. Ready Capital reported U.S. GAAP Net Income for the three months ended March 31, 2019 of $30.5 million, or $0.90 per share of common stock, and Core Earnings (a non-GAAP financial measure) of $11.3 million, or $0.34 per share of common stock.
First Quarter Highlights:
- U.S. GAAP Net Income of $30.5 million, or $0.90 per diluted share of common stock
- Core Earnings of $11.3 million, or $0.34 per diluted share of common stock
- Adjusted net book value of $16.65 per share of common stock as of March 31, 2019
- Originated $292.0 million and acquired $128.7 million of small balance commercial ("SBC") loans
- Originated $44.1 million of loans guaranteed by the U.S. Small Business Administration (the "SBA") under its Section 7(a) loan program
- Originated $344.4 million of residential mortgage loans
- Declared and paid dividend of $0.40 per share
- Completed the merger with Owens Realty Mortgage, Inc., increasing the capital base to approximately $760 million
- Subsequent to quarter end, completed the securitization of $320.8 million of transitional loans and issued $267.9 million of senior bonds at a weighted average pass-through rate of LIBOR plus 1.33%
"We are proud to have completed our transformational merger with Owens Realty. This combination creates a company with greater scale and additional capital that is well positioned to continue to execute our strategic vision of building a full-service platform with scale," commented Ready Capital's Chairman and chief executive officer Thomas Capasse. "With the market volatility we experienced at year end followed immediately by an unprecedented government shutdown that closed the SBA for an extended period of time, we are even more convinced our long-term strategic objectives will yield strong and growing cash flow over-time. As we look ahead we remain focused on the accretive expansion of our platform to drive loan growth that ultimately enhances earnings and increases shareholder value."
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 gains and losses related to certain mortgage backed securities, realized gains and losses on sales of certain MBS, unrealized gains and 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.
In calculating Core Earnings, Net Income (in accordance with GAAP) is adjusted to exclude unrealized gains and losses on MBS acquired by the Company in the secondary market, but is not adjusted to exclude unrealized gains and losses on MBS retained by Ready Capital as part of its loan origination businesses, where the Company transfers originated loans into an MBS securitization and the Company retains an interest in the securitization. In calculating Core Earnings, the Company does not adjust Net Income (in accordance with GAAP) to take into account unrealized gains and losses on MBS retained by us as part of the loan origination businesses because the unrealized gains and losses that are generated in the loan origination and securitization process are considered to be a fundamental part of this business and an indicator of the ongoing performance and credit quality of the Company's historical loan originations. In calculating Core Earnings, Net Income (in accordance with GAAP) is adjusted to exclude realized gains and losses on certain MBS securities considered to be non-core. Certain MBS positions are considered to be non-core due to a variety of reasons which may include collateral type, duration, and size.
In addition, in calculating Core Earnings, Net Income (in accordance with GAAP) is adjusted to exclude unrealized gains or losses on residential MSRs, held at fair value. The Company treats its commercial MSRs and residential MSRs as two separate classes based on the nature of the underlying mortgages and the treatment of these assets as two separate pools for risk management purposes. Servicing rights relating to the Company's small business commercial business are accounted for under ASC 860, Transfer and Servicing, while the Company's residential MSRs are accounted for under the fair value option under ASC 825, Financial Instruments. In calculating Core Earnings, the Company does not exclude realized gains or losses on either commercial MSRs or Residential MSRs, held at fair value, as servicing income is a fundamental part of Ready Capital's business and as an indicator of the ongoing performance.
The following table reconciles net income computed in accordance with U.S. GAAP to Core Earnings for the three months ended March 31, 2019:
