Atrium Mortgage Investment Corporation (TSX: AI) is proud to report strong Q3 2024 results, continuing to deliver solid growth and returns for our shareholders. With earnings per share of $0.26 - up from $0.25 last year - we are pleased to announce an increase in our monthly dividend by 3.3%, from an annual rate of $0.90 to $0.93 per share, effective December 2024.
Atrium’s lending strategy remains robust and prudent. Our mortgage portfolio reached a record high of $926.3 million and is anchored by first mortgages, which account for 97.3% of our portfolio, and at an average loan-to-value ratio of 64.1%. Despite market challenges, our year-to-date earnings per share of $0.79 marks our second-best nine-month result, highlighting the resilience of our portfolio.
Our recent common share offering, which raised $28.8 million, reinforces Atrium’s liquidity and positions us for continued growth. “We were gratified by the overwhelming investor demand for this offering,” said CEO Rob Goodall. “Our conservative 85% dividend payout ratio bodes well for the prospect of another sizable special dividend at year-end.”
Thank you to our investors and our borrowers for their trust and continued support.
