Manhattan Bridge Capital, Inc. Reports Third Quarter 2023 Results

GREAT NECK, N.Y., Oct. 24, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Manhattan Bridge Capital, Inc. (Nasdaq: LOAN) (the “Company”) announced today that its net income for the three months ended September 30, 2023 was approximately $1,446,000, or $0.13 per basic and diluted share (based on approximately 11.5 million weighted-average outstanding common shares), as compared to approximately $1,237,000, or $0.11 per basic and diluted share (based on approximately 11.5 million weighted-average outstanding common shares), for the three months ended September 30, 2022, an increase of $209,000, or 16.9%. This increase is primarily attributable to an increase in interest income from loans, partially offset by an increase in interest expense.

Total revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2023 were approximately $2,434,000 compared to approximately $2,107,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2022, an increase of $327,000, or 15.5%. The increase in revenues was due to higher interest rates charged on the Company’s commercial loans. For the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, approximately $1,992,000 and $1,678,000, respectively, of the Company’s revenues were attributable to interest income on secured commercial loans that the Company offers to real estate investors, and approximately $441,000 and $429,000, 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, 2023 was approximately $4,128,000, or $0.36 per basic and diluted share (based on approximately 11.5 million weighted-average outstanding common shares), as compared to approximately $4,018,000, or $0.35 per basic and diluted share (based on approximately 11.5 million weighted-average outstanding common shares) for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, an increase of $110,000, or 2.7%. This increase is primarily attributable to an increase in interest income from loans, partially offset by an increase in interest expense.

Total revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 were approximately $7,231,000 compared to approximately $6,339,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, an increase of $892,000, or 14.1%. The increase in revenues was due to higher interest rates charged on the Company’s commercial loans. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, revenues of approximately $5,889,000 and $4,934,000, respectively, were attributable to interest income on the secured commercial loans that the Company offers to real estate investors, and approximately $1,342,000 and $1,405,000, 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, 2023, total stockholders' equity was approximately $42,944,000.

On April 11, 2023, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized a share buy back program, pursuant to which the Company may, from time to time, purchase up to 100,000 of its common shares. This program does not obligate the Company to purchase any shares and expires on April 10, 2024. The authorization for the program may be terminated, increased or decreased by the Company’s Board of Directors in its discretion at any time. As of September 30, 2023, the Company has purchased an aggregate of 37,860 common shares under this repurchase program, at an aggregate cost of approximately $186,000.

Assaf Ran, Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, stated, “In the current real estate market condition, we are reaping the fruits of our disciplined and conservative underwriting practices as well as our extraordinary low leverage versus our peers. Due to the high interest rates environment, real estate markets are slower and heavier. Yet, we face less competition, so we have managed to remain active.”

“I’d like to offer my sincere condolences to the families of the victims of the evil massacre of innocent Israeli citizens, including babies, children and women by the terror organization Hamas, and I pray for fast recovery of the wounded and the return of the over 200 hostages,” added Mr. Ran.
