Positive
  • Achieved $100 million new originations target for 2024
  • Distributable Earnings of $7.2 million ($0.35 per share)
  • Maintained strong dividend payment of $0.33 per share
Negative
  • GAAP net income decreased to $1.4 million from $8.0 million in Q3 2023
  • Distributable Earnings per share declined to $0.35 from $0.49 year-over-year
  • Increase in provision for current expected credit losses of $181,370

Insights

The Q3 2024 results show mixed performance. While AFC achieved $1.4 million in GAAP net income ($0.06 per share), this represents a significant decline from $8.0 million in Q3 2023. However, Distributable Earnings of $7.2 million ($0.35 per share) demonstrate stronger underlying performance, though still down from $0.49 per share year-over-year.

Notable positives include surpassing the $100 million new originations target and maintaining a $0.33 dividend. The dividend payout ratio of 94% against Distributable Earnings indicates sustainable distribution levels. However, increased unrealized losses of $4.6 million and rising credit loss provisions signal potential portfolio stress.

The credit quality metrics warrant attention. The increase in provision for expected credit losses to $181,370 in Q3 2024, coupled with significant unrealized losses of $4.6 million, suggests deteriorating portfolio quality. This contrasts with a gain of $787,799 in the same quarter last year. The TRS loss of $840,556 further indicates challenges in the lending portfolio.

While the company maintains strong origination momentum, the growing credit provisions and unrealized losses could signal increasing risk in the cannabis lending market, potentially impacting future earnings stability.

Non-GAAP Metrics

In addition to using certain financial metrics prepared in accordance with GAAP to evaluate our performance, we also use Distributable Earnings to evaluate our performance excluding the effects of certain transactions and GAAP adjustments we believe are not necessarily indicative of our current loan activity and operations. Distributable Earnings is a measure that is not prepared in accordance with GAAP. Distributable Earnings and the other capitalized terms not defined in this section have the meanings ascribed to such terms in our most-recently filed Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. We use this non-GAAP financial measure both to explain our results to shareholders and the investment community and in the internal evaluation and management of our businesses. Our management believes that this non-GAAP financial measure and the information it provides is useful to investors since this measure permits investors and shareholders to assess the overall performance of our business using the same tools that our management uses to evaluate our past performance and prospects for future performance.

The determination of Distributable Earnings is substantially similar to the determination of Core Earnings under our Management Agreement, provided that Core Earnings is a component of the calculation of any Incentive Compensation earned under the Management Agreement for the applicable time period, and thus Core Earnings is calculated without giving effect to Incentive Compensation expense, while the calculation of Distributable Earnings accounts for any Incentive Compensation earned for such time period.

We define Distributable Earnings as, for a specified period, the net income (loss) computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding (i) stock-based compensation expense, (ii) depreciation and amortization, (iii) any unrealized gains, losses or other non-cash items recorded in net income (loss) for the period, regardless of whether such items are included in other comprehensive income or loss, or in net income (loss); provided that Distributable Earnings does not exclude, in the case of investments with a deferred interest feature (such as original issue discount, debt instruments with PIK interest and zero coupon securities), accrued income that we have not yet received in cash, (iv) (decrease) increase in provision for current expected credit losses, (v) taxable REIT (as defined below) subsidiary (“TRS”) (income) loss, net of any dividends received from TRS and (vi) one-time events pursuant to changes in GAAP and certain non-cash charges, in each case after discussions between our Manager and our independent directors and after approval by a majority of such independent directors.

We believe providing Distributable Earnings on a supplemental basis to our net income as determined in accordance with GAAP is helpful to shareholders in assessing the overall performance of our business. As a real estate investment trust (“REIT”), we are required to distribute at least 90% of our annual REIT taxable income, subject to certain adjustments, and to pay tax at regular corporate rates to the extent that we annually distribute less than 100% of such taxable income. Given these requirements and our belief that dividends are generally one of the principal reasons that shareholders invest in our common stock, we generally intend to attempt to pay dividends to our shareholders in an amount at least equal to such REIT taxable income, if and to the extent authorized by our Board of Directors. Distributable Earnings is one of many factors considered by our Board of Directors in authorizing dividends and, while not a direct measure of net taxable income, over time, the measure can be considered a useful indicator of our dividends.

Distributable Earnings is a non-GAAP financial measure and should not be considered as a substitute for GAAP net income. We caution readers that our methodology for calculating Distributable Earnings may differ from the methodologies employed by other REITs to calculate the same or similar supplemental performance measures, and as a result, our reported Distributable Earnings may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other REITs.
