Manhattan Bridge Capital Reports 46.0% Increase in Net Income

2016-05-02 07:30 ET - News Release

GREAT NECK, N.Y., May 02, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Manhattan Bridge Capital, Inc. (NASDAQ:LOAN) announced today that net income for the three month period ended March 31, 2016 was approximately $695,000 or $0.10 per share, versus approximately $476,000 or $0.08 per share for the three month period ended March 31, 2015, an increase in net income of 46.0% or in earnings per share of 25%. This increase is primarily attributable to the increase in revenue and the decrease in operating expenses.

Total revenues for the three month period ended March 31, 2016 were approximately $1,105,000 compared to approximately $912,000 for the three month period ended March 31, 2015, an increase of $193,000 or 21.2%. The increase in revenue represents an increase in lending operations. In 2016, approximately $914,000 of our revenue represents interest income on secured, commercial loans that we offer to small businesses compared to approximately $757,000 for the same period in 2015, and approximately $190,000 represents origination fees on such loans compared to approximately $155,000 for the same period in 2015. The loans are principally secured by collateral consisting of real estate and, generally, accompanied by personal guarantees from the principals of the businesses.

As of March 31, 2016 total stockholders' equity was approximately $18,442,000 compared to approximately $17,743,000 as of December 31, 2015, an increase of $699,000.

On April 25, 2016, MBC Funding II Corp (“Funding”), our wholly owned subsidiary, completed an underwritten public offering of 6% senior notes due April 22, 2026. We guaranteed Funding’s obligations under the Notes, which is secured by our pledge of 100% of the outstanding common shares of Funding owned by us. The gross proceeds to Funding from this offering were approximately $6.0 million, and the net proceeds were approximately $5.3 million, after deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions and other offering expenses. Funding utilized the proceeds to purchase a pool of mortgage loans from us, which we in turn used to pay down the Webster Credit Line.

Assaf Ran, Chairman of the Board and CEO stated, “As we started 2016 we experienced an unusual number of loan pay-offs. We see that as a good indicator of the quality of our portfolio, but it also created a challenge to redeploy the proceeds in order to maintain our growth. We took the necessary steps in order to build a pipe line of qualified loans and as reflected in the financial results we successfully managed to face the challenge," added Mr. Ran.
