"Against a backdrop of financial market volatility and economic uncertainty, it was another solid quarter for the company, highlighted by the continued resilience and performance of our underlying mortgage portfolio,” said Blair Tamblyn, CEO of Timbercreek Financial. “As we expected, we are seeing the benefit of recent interest rate hikes on our primarily floating rate portfolio, translating into higher interest income. Our long history in this space has shown us that periods of rapid rate increases, while they may impact short-term transaction volume, generally create opportunity for flexible alternative lenders, and we have the capital and team to take advantage of these conditions.”

Non-IFRS Measures

The Company prepares and releases financial statements in accordance with IFRS.

Certain non-IFRS measures relating to net mortgages, adjusted net income and comprehensive income and adjusted distributable income 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.
