Manhattan Bridge Capital, Inc. Reports Results for 2023

GREAT NECK, N.Y., March 11, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Manhattan Bridge Capital, Inc. (Nasdaq: LOAN) (the “Company”) announced today that net income for the year ended December 31, 2023 was approximately $5,476,000, or $0.48 per share (based on approximately 11.5 million weighted-average outstanding common shares), versus approximately $5,212,000, or $0.45 per share (based on approximately 11.5 million weighted-average outstanding common shares) for the year ended December 31, 2022, an increase of $264,000, or 5.1%. This increase is primarily attributable to an increase in interest income from loans, partially offset by increases in interest expense and in general and administrative expenses.

Total revenue for the year ended December 31, 2023 was approximately $9,796,000, compared to approximately $8,571,000 for the year ended December 31, 2022, an increase of $1,225,000, or 14.3%. The increase in revenue was due to higher interest rates charged on the Company’s commercial loans. In 2023, approximately $7,976,000 of its revenue represents interest income on secured, real estate loans that the Company offers to real estate investors, compared to approximately $6,773,000 in 2022, and approximately $1,820,000 represents origination fees on such loans, compared to approximately $1,798,000 in 2022. The loans are principally secured by collateral consisting of real estate and accompanied by personal guarantees from the principals of the borrowers.

Total operating costs and expenses for the year ended December 31, 2023 were approximately $4,353,000, compared to approximately $3,377,000 for the year ended December 31, 2022, an increase of $976,000, or 28.9%. The increase in operating costs and expenses was primarily attributable to an increase in interest expense due to higher interest rates and increases in amounts borrowed relating to the use of the Company’s credit line in order to support its ability to increase loan originations, and a special bonus as well as an annual bonus totaling $195,000 to its officers in 2023.

As of December 31, 2023, total shareholders' equity was approximately $42,933,000, compared to approximately $42,864,000 as of December 31, 2022.

On April 11, 2023, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized a share buyback program for the repurchase of up to 100,000 of its common shares in the next twelve months. This program does not obligate the Company to purchase any shares and expires on April 10, 2024. As of December 31, 2023, the Company had purchased an aggregate of 54,294 common shares under this repurchase program, at an aggregate cost of approximately $262,000.

Assaf Ran, Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, stated, “As real estate investors are adjusting to a high-interest rate environment, liquidity crunches are more frequent. Thus, our challenge for 2023 was to avoid problematic loans and interest collection issues. I can proudly state that I believe we succeeded in meeting the challenge.”

“The size of our loan portfolio was approximately the same as the prior year; however, due to the fact that we’re low-leveraged, we benefited from the higher interest rates and broke our records of both revenue and net earnings,” added Mr. Ran.
