Manhattan Bridge Capital (LOAN) Reports 1Q EPS/Revenue Results In-Line with Estimates

April 16, 2018 7:11 AM EDT

Manhattan Bridge Capital, Inc. (NASDAQ: LOAN) announced today that total revenue for the three month period ended March 31, 2018 was approximately $1,664,000 compared to approximately $1,330,000 for the three month period ended March 31, 2017, an increase of $334,000, or 25.1%. The increase in revenue represents an increase in lending operations. In 2018, approximately $1,429,000 of the Company’s revenue represents interest income on secured, commercial loans that it offers to small businesses compared to approximately $1,106,000 for the same period in 2017, and approximately $235,000 represents origination fees on such loans compared to approximately $223,000 for the same period in 2017. The loans are principally secured by collateral consisting of real estate and, generally, accompanied by personal guarantees from the principals of the businesses.

Net income for the three month period ended March 31, 2018 was approximately $981,000, or $0.12 per basic and diluted share (based on approximately 8.1 million weighted-average outstanding common shares), versus approximately $791,000, or $0.10 per basic and diluted share (based on approximately 8.1 million and 8.2 million weighted-average outstanding common shares, respectively), an increase of $190,000, or 24.0%. This increase is primarily attributable to the increase in revenue, offset by an increase in interest expense.

As of March 31, 2018, total assets were approximately $46,856,000 compared to approximately $45,897,000 as of December 31, 2017, an increase of $959,000, or 2.1%.

Assaf Ran, Chairman of the Board and CEO, stated, “We’ve had another successful quarter. During the first quarter the amount of paid loans was higher than usual. We believe that this is another indication of our portfolio’s strength and liquidity. Thanks to our robust sales and marketing network, we managed to redeploy the funds promptly. As with prior quarters, we had yet another quarter of no defaults,” added Mr. Ran.
