The earnings call presented a mixed picture with strong growth in funding and MUA but faced challenges in profitability, NIM compression, and increased expenses. The outlook for Q2 remains positive with expectations for continued growth in originations.
Company Guidance
In their first quarter earnings call for fiscal year 2025, First National reported a pre-fair market value income of $52.6 million, marking a 16% decrease from the previous year, despite a 7% year-over-year increase in Mortgage Under Administration (MUA) to $10.3 billion. Single-family funding surged by 34% year-over-year, and commercial mortgage originations rose 18%, supported by seven Bank of Canada rate reductions and government incentives like increased purchase price caps and 30-year amortizations for insured mortgages. However, challenges included a 7 basis point compression in net interest margin (NIM) and a 2% decline in net interest revenue on securitized mortgages. The Alt A arrears remained elevated compared to prime mortgages but showed improvement month-over-month. First National anticipates continued year-over-year growth in originations into Q2, driven by strong single-family mortgage commitments, while maintaining credit quality without adjusting pricing strategies.
Increase in Single Family Funding
Single family funding increased 34% year-over-year, showing substantial growth in this segment.
Commercial Mortgage Growth
Commercial mortgage originations rose 18% due to focus on insured multi-unit residential housing market.
Record MUA Growth
MUA increased 7% year-over-year, amounting to a $10.3 billion increase, showing resilience despite market challenges.
Positive Outlook for Q2
Expectations for ongoing growth in originations and strong funding volumes into Q2, supported by a robust commitment pipeline.
