âOur operating results for the quarter were sound. We have maintained our overall high quality portfolio and delivered a 9.4% growth in quarterly net income over last year,â said Cameron Goodnough, CEO of Timbercreek Financial. âThat said, the commercial mortgage sector continues to experience elevated capital inflows from both regulated and non-traditional mortgage providers, which impacted our gross mortgage balance (including syndications) and lender fee income. Despite these competitive pressures, our primary focus remains portfolio quality rather than simply the deployment of assets, given our view of the relative risk-adjusted returns.â

Non-IFRS Measures
The Company prepares and releases financial statements in accordance with IFRS. As a complement to results provided in accordance with IFRS, the Company discloses certain financial measures not recognized under IFRS and that do not have standard meanings prescribed by IFRS (collectively the ânon-IFRS measuresâ). These non-IFRS measures are further described in Management’s Discussion and Analysis (“MD&A”) available on SEDAR. The Company has presented such non-IFRS measures because the Manager believes they are relevant measures of the Companyâs ability to earn and distribute cash dividends to shareholders and to evaluate its performance. These non-IFRS measures should not be construed as alternatives to total net income and comprehensive income or cash flows from operating activities as determined in accordance with IFRS as indicators of the Companyâs performance.

When used in this news release, the words “may”, “would”, “should”, “could”, “will”, “intend”, “plan”, “anticipate”, “believe”, “estimate”, “expect”, “objective” and similar expressions may be used to identify forward looking statements. By their nature, forward looking statements reflect the Company’s current views, beliefs, assumptions and intentions and are subject to certain risks and uncertainties, known and unknown, including, without limitation, those risks disclosed in the Company’s public filings. Many factors could cause actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements that may be expressed or implied by these forward looking statements.
