Mount Logan Capital Inc. (NEO: MLC) (“Mount Logan,” “our,” “we,” or the “Company”) announces its financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2022. All amounts are stated in United States dollars, unless otherwise indicated.

First quarter highlights:

  • Total revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2022 was $2.6 million in the asset management segment, an increase from $1.7 million or 57% for the three months ended March 31, 2021.
  • Total revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2022 was $(12.0) million in the insurance segment, primarily driven by mark-to-market movement as a result of increases in market interest rates offset by the projected timing of reinvestment of cash flows.
  • Shareholders' equity as at March 31, 2022 of $68.6 million.
  • Basic earnings per share for the three months ended March 31, 2022 was $(0.72)(1), a decrease from $0.02 for the three months ended March 31, 2021.
  • Dividend of CAD$0.02 per common share declared to be paid on April 8, 2022 to shareholders of record on March 31, 2022.

(1) Reflects the non-cash change in insurance contract liabilities and reinsurance assets.

Ted Goldthorpe, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of Mount Logan, noted, "We continue to build on our operating momentum and delivered another quarter of strong earnings in the asset management segment, driven by growth in our attributable assets under management. The insurance segment experienced a negative quarter primarily due to the impact of rising market interest rates and its implied impact on the valuation of the investment portfolio. We remain focused on the growth of our asset management and insurance segments and the ramping of the reinsurance of fixed annuities that was initiated after quarter end. We look forward to making continued progress in 2022 as we continue to assess strategic transactions that will grow our asset management and insurance business."

Result of Operations by Segment The Company considers its business within two operating segments: asset management and insurance.

Asset management Total revenue of $2.6 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2022 represents an increase of $0.1 million quarter-over-quarter. Year-to-date total revenue of $2.6 million represents an increase of $1.0 million year-over-year primarily related to the increase in management and servicing fees. Total expenses of $2.8 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2022 represents a decrease of $2.4 million quarter-over-quarter primarily related to decrease in professional fees incurred during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021 in connection with the expansion of the Company's business into an asset management and insurance platform. Year-to-date total expenses of $2.8 million represents an increase of $1.5 million year-over-year primarily related to increases in professional fees, interest and credit facility expenses, amortization of intangible assets and administration fees. Net loss of $0.2 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2022 was primarily driven by amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets. Adjusted net (loss) income would have been $nil, or breakeven, in the first quarter of fiscal 2022, excluding amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets.

Insurance Analysis of the insurance segment to the same period in the prior year is not relevant given the acquisition of Ability closed in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021.

Total revenue of $(12.0) million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 was primarily due to realized and unrealized investment losses during the period driven by increasing market interest rates, partially offset by investment income generated on assets supporting insurance contract liabilities, net of investment activity attributable to collateral under funds withheld reinsurance. Total expenses of $4.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 was primarily driven by administration fees and insurance expenses.

Our interim consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and related management’s discussion and analysis will be available on the Company’s website at www.mountlogancapital.ca and on SEDAR (www.sedar.com).

Dividend Declaration The Board of Directors of the Company (the "Board") declared a cash dividend in the amount of CAD$0.02 per common share to be paid on June 24, 2022 to shareholders of record on May 27, 2022. This is the fourteenth consecutive dividend Mount Logan has paid to its shareholders since closing its plan of arrangement in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2018. This dividend is designated by the Company as an eligible dividend for the purpose of the Income Tax Act (Canada) and any similar provincial or territorial legislation. An enhanced dividend tax credit applies to eligible dividends paid to Canadian residents.

The declaration and payment by the Company of any future cash dividends, including the amount thereof, will be at the discretion of the Board and will depend on, among other things, the financial condition, capital requirements and earnings of the Company.

Officer Appointment On May 10, 2022, the Board appointed David Held as the Company's Chief Compliance Officer.

Outlook for 2022 The Company's financial results in the second-half of 2022 are expected to benefit from the addition of new investment advisory agreements, which increase our assets under management, and the launch of reinsurance of multi-year guaranteed annuity policies in the insurance segment. We continue to assess strategic transactions that will grow our asset management and insurance business.
