Strong Q4 Originations and Gross Activity
Closed Q4 with nearly $334M of new net mortgage investments (23 transactions) and $425M of gross originations, driving a turnover ratio of 12% and supporting a larger pipeline into 2026.
Portfolio Growth and Size
Portfolio balance of $1.24B at quarter-end, up $185M from Q3 (18% growth QoQ) and roughly $150M year-over-year, reflecting meaningful expansion of the lending book.
Stable Net Investment Income and Distributable Income
Q4 net investment income of $25.7M (consistent with Q3). Distributable income (DI) was $15.0M ($0.18/share), up from $14.1M ($0.17/share) in Q3, with a payout ratio of ~95% supporting the monthly dividend.
Portfolio Quality and Structure
84% of investments are cash-flowing assets, ~62% of the portfolio is multi-residential, 95% are first mortgages, and weighted average LTV at 67.4% (slightly below Q3), indicating conservative underwriting and collateral mix.
Interest-Rate Dynamics and Margin Opportunity
Weighted average interest rate was 8.1% in Q4 (down from 8.3% in Q3 and 8.9% a year ago), while 89% of the portfolio is floating-rate (97% of floored loans currently at floors). Management is capturing incremental spreads as policy rates fall and funding costs decline.
Progress on Problem Assets and Capital Redeployment
Resolved $6.5M of Stage 3 loans in Dec 2025 and reported progress on zoning/milestones for remaining stage files. Management expects to reduce stage loan balances to traditional levels through 2026 and redeploy capital into accretive loans.
Favorable Market Backdrop and Strong Pipeline
Management highlighted improving CRE transaction activity (C$47B transacted last year with a projection near C$56B in 2026) and a healthy new-business pipeline, supporting expectations for continued portfolio growth in 2026.
