LOAN - Manhattan Bridge Capital Inc. Reports Third Quarter 2022 Results
GREAT NECK, N.Y., Oct. 21, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Manhattan Bridge Capital, Inc. (Nasdaq: LOAN ) announced today that its net income for the three months ended September 30, 2022 was approximately $1,237,000, or $0.11 per basic and diluted share (based on approximately 11.5 million weighted-average outstanding common shares), as compared to approximately $1,110,000, or $0.10 per basic and diluted share (based on approximately 11.3 million weighted-average outstanding common shares), for the three months ended September 30, 2021, an increase of $127,000, or 11.4%. This increase is primarily attributable to an increase in revenue, partially offset by an increase in interest expense.
Total revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2022 were approximately $2,107,000 compared to approximately $1,627,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2021, an increase of $480,000 or 29.5%. The increase in revenue was due to an increase in lending operations. For the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, approximately $1,678,000 and $1,323,000, respectively, of the Company’s revenues were attributable to interest income on secured commercial loans that it offers to real estate investors, and approximately $429,000 and $304,000, respectively, of the Company’s revenues were attributable to origination fees on such loans. The loans are principally secured by collateral consisting of real estate and accompanied by personal guarantees from the principals of the borrowers.
Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was approximately $4,018,000, or $0.35 per basic and diluted share (based on approximately 11.5 million weighted-average outstanding common shares), as compared to approximately $3,274,000, or $0.32 per basic and diluted share (based on approximately 10.2 million weighted-average outstanding common shares) for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, an increase of $744,000, or 22.7%. This increase is primarily attributable to an increase in revenue, partially offset by increases in interest expense and in general and administrative expenses.
Total revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 were approximately $6,339,000 compared to approximately $5,070,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, an increase of $1,269,000, or 25.0%. The increase in revenue was due to an increase in lending operations. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, revenues of approximately $4,934,000 and $4,190,000, respectively, were attributable to interest income on the secured commercial loans that the Company offers to real estate investors, and approximately $1,405,000 and $880,000, respectively, of the Company’s revenues were attributable to origination fees on such loans. The loans are principally secured by collateral consisting of real estate and accompanied by personal guarantees from the principals of the borrowers.
As of September 30, 2022, total stockholders' equity was approximately $43,100,000.
Assaf Ran, Chairman of the Board and CEO, stated, “As we are adjusting our portfolio to the new environment, we have presented another quarter of strong profitability and no loan defaults. We have paid higher interest on our line of credit, but we are increasing the rates we charge our borrowers. At these times, we believe that our low equity to debt ratio is a major strength.”
