Core business performing in current environment
Toronto, Ontario – August 6, 2025. MCAN Mortgage Corporation d/b/a MCAN Financial Group (“MCAN”, the “Company” or “we”) (TSX: “MKP“) reported net income of $20.2 million ($0.51 earnings per share) for the second quarter of 2025, an increase from net income of $19.7 million ($0.52 earnings per share) in the second quarter of 2024.
Second quarter 2025 return on average shareholders’ equity1 was 13.19% compared to 13.63% for the same period in the prior year.
Our Q2 results were mainly impacted by higher mortgage spread income and higher income from MCAP partially offset by higher provisions for credit losses compared to the same prior year period.
For YTD 2025, we reported net income of $36.8 million ($0.94 earnings per share), a decrease from net income of $43.0 million ($1.17 earnings per share) for the same prior year period.
Return on average shareholders’ equity1 was 12.10% for YTD 2025 compared to 15.31% for the same prior year period.
We reported lower total net income for YTD mainly as a result of higher provisions for credit losses due to the forecasted economic and geopolitical environment.
We are committed to a strategy of managing controllable factors to protect our bottom line and capital. We expect to take advantage of opportunities that arise in the current market environment. We believe that we have a quality loan portfolio with conservative loan to value ratios supporting our loans.
The Board of Directors declared a third quarter regular cash dividend of $0.41 per share to be paid on September 29, 2025 to shareholders of record as of September 15, 2025. As a mortgage investment corporation, we pay out all of our taxable income to shareholders through dividends.
“We recorded quality results for the second quarter of 2025 up 22% from Q1 2025 and 2% from Q2 2024. We continue to leverage our brand and exceptional customer service to take advantage in the marketplace, with record originations in our insured residential lending business while maintaining our spreads. Although we recorded higher provisions for credit losses than the prior year, our credit quality remains resilient as it has since our founding,” said Derek Sutherland, CEO of MCAN. “In July 2025, we launched a new uninsured residential mortgage third-party securitization program with one of the major Canadian banks which will add to our securitization income and allow us to grow our uninsured originations. Looking ahead, we are focused on tapping new growth opportunities to drive value for all our stakeholders.”
