Builders Capital Mortgage Corp. Reports Third Quarter Results

Calgary, Alberta--(Newsfile Corp. - November 29, 2021) - Builders Capital Mortgage Corp. (TSXV: BCF) ("Builders Capital" or "the Company") announces that it has released its third quarter financial results for the period ending September 30, 2021.

Highlights include:

• Increase of earnings per share to $0.20 in the third quarter of 2021, up 18% over Q3 2020.
• Q3 total comprehensive income of $1.7 million and earnings per share of $0.58 or an increase of 5% from $1.6 million and $0.55, respectively, over the comparable period of 2020.
• Consistent with targeted distribution program, quarterly dividends paid to Class A shareholders were $0.2016 per share, representing an 8% annual return on the original $10.00 issue price for the 31st consecutive quarter since inception.
• Mortgage assets have increased by 56% from their low point in April 2021.
• Current mortgage portfolio has achieved a weighted average loan-to-value ratio of 72%, a full three percentage points below our 75% target level.
• Portfolio has strengthened such that the provision required for loan losses was the lowest it has been for any nine-month period since inception in 2013.

In commenting on these results, Sandy Loutitt, President of Builders Capital, stated:

"During the first 9 months of 2021, Builders Capital has been able to substantially strengthen our mortgage portfolio on a number of fronts. We have redeployed unproductive assets into new loans, growing the portfolio, reduced the weighted average loan-to-value ratio of the portfolio, and successfully resolved issues with a couple of older, problem loans. The upshot of these efforts is that interest and lender fee revenues are growing, and the required provision for mortgage losses for the nine-month period has dropped to the lowest it's been in any nine-month period since the formation of the Company.

"Real estate markets and housing starts remain strong in the markets that we serve, resulting in continuing strong demand for our construction finance product. As well, we are continuing to pursue additional geographic diversity where we predict demand for our service will be strong. Our business model and our management team were successful in navigating recent difficulties and now, with improving conditions, that model is proving to be very robust and is achieving the potential results we had anticipated. We remain very optimistic that this business strategy is sound and will result in additional improvements both to our balance sheet and to our bottom line."

About Builders Capital

Builders Capital is a mortgage lender providing short-term course-of-construction financing to builders of residential, wood-frame properties in Western Canada. The Company commenced active operations on December 12, 2013 on the closing of its initial public offering, whereupon it acquired a portfolio of mortgages from two predecessor companies.

Builders Capital's investment objective is to generate attractive returns, relative to risk, in order to provide stable and consistent distributions to shareholders while remaining focused on capital preservation and satisfying the criteria mandated for mortgage investment corporations ("MIC") as defined in the Income Tax Act.

As an MIC, Builders Capital is not subject to income tax provided that it distributes all of its taxable income as dividends to shareholders within 90 days of its December 31^st year-end. Such dividends are generally treated by shareholders as interest income, so that each shareholder is in the same tax position as if their proportionate share of mortgage investments made by the company had been made directly by the shareholder.
