— Derek Sutherland, President and Chief Executive Officer

Mortgage & Lending Performance

Residential mortgages totaled $4.7 billion (+2% YTD), including:

  • Uninsured residential mortgages: $1.3 billion (+4% YTD)
  • Insured residential mortgages: $3.4 billion (+1% YTD)

Compared to Q1 2025, uninsured residential mortgage originations increased 36% and insured residential mortgage originations increased 136%, supported by strong renewal volumes.

Construction and commercial mortgages grew to $1.2 billion (+3% YTD), supported by loan advances of $84.8 million during the quarter.

MCAP Performance

MCAP income year-to-date was $7.9 million (+43%) compared to Q1 2025, driven primarily by higher securitization income from increased average portfolio balances.

Credit Quality

Provision for credit losses totaled $1.5 million, reflecting interest provisioning on impaired residential construction loans, growth in uninsured residential mortgages and uncertainty in economic forecasts.

The impaired total mortgage ratio1 was 0.99% at March 31, 2026 compared to 0.70% at December 31, 2025.

Dividend Declaration

The Board of Directors declared a second quarter regular cash dividend of $0.43 per share, payable June 30, 2026 to shareholders of record on June 15, 2026.

Under MCAN’s Dividend Reinvestment Plan (DRIP), dividends are automatically reinvested in common shares issued from treasury at the weighted average trading price for the five days preceding issuance, less a 2% discount.
