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:
