Portfolio Growth: Timbercreek's portfolio grew by about $50 million year-to-date, with expectations for further growth by year-end, despite Q3 activity being slightly below plan due to transaction delays.
Q3 Financials: Net investment income was steady at $25.4 million, but distributable income dipped to $0.17 per share, leading to a temporarily higher payout ratio.
Loan Quality: Revaluations of two challenged loans, particularly in Calgary and Vancouver, triggered a $5.9 million increase in expected credit losses, impacting reported earnings.
Outlook: Management expects strong Q4 activity (over $200 million already funded or committed) and portfolio growth, with confidence that full-year payout ratios will settle within the target range.
Credit Facility Upsize: Timbercreek increased its credit facility (now up to $600 million), improved loan spread by 25 basis points, and added two banks to the syndicate.
Yield and Rates: Weighted average interest rate on the portfolio declined to 8.3% in Q3, reflecting Bank of Canada rate cuts, but management feels well-positioned due to high floating rate loan exposure with rate floors.
