NEW YORK, Aug. 6, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Ready Capital Corporation ("Ready Capital" or the "Company") (NYSE: RC), a multi-strategy real estate finance company that originates, acquires, finances, and services small to medium balance commercial loans, today reported financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2020. Ready Capital reported U.S. GAAP Net income for the three months ended June 30, 2020 of $34.7 million, or $0.62 per share of common stock, and Core Earnings (a non-GAAP financial measure) of $39.2 million, or $0.70 per share of common stock. The Company's record results benefitted from its gain on sale businesses, including significant participation the U.S Government's Paycheck Protection Program.
Second Quarter Results:
"We are proud of the record results we produced, despite the unprecedented and challenging times due to the COVID-19 pandemic," commented Thomas Capasse, Ready Capital's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "The Company successfully responded to this new economic environment by effectively reducing risk by increasing liquidity, preserving book value and reducing mark-to-market liabilities, while expanding our government sponsored lending segments. We are pleased we were able to do our small part in helping over 40,000 small businesses across the country through our participation in the PPP program."
Increase in Size of Existing Stock Repurchase Program
On August 4, 2020, the Board of Directors authorized an increase in the size of the Company's existing stock repurchase program by an additional $5.0 million, bringing the total amount authorized and available under the program to $25.0 million. The stock repurchase program authorizes, but does not obligate, the repurchase of the Company's common stock from time to time. The Company expects to acquire shares through open market or privately negotiated transactions. The timing and amount of repurchase transactions will be determined by the Company's management based on its evaluation of market conditions, share price, legal requirements and other factors. Repurchases are expected to be made from available cash on hand.
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information
In addition to the results presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP, this press release includes Core Earnings, which is a non-U.S. GAAP financial measure. The Company defines Core Earnings as net income adjusted for unrealized gains and losses related to certain mortgage backed securities ("MBS"), realized gains and losses on sales of certain MBS, unrealized gains and losses related to residential mortgage servicing rights, unrealized gains or losses resulting from changes in CECL impairment reserves on accrual loans, and one-time non-recurring gains or losses, such as gains or losses on discontinued operations, bargain purchase gains, merger related expenses, or other one-time items.
The Company believes that this non-U.S. GAAP financial information, in addition to the related U.S. GAAP measures, provides investors greater transparency into the information used by management in its financial and operational decision-making. However, because Core Earnings is an incomplete measure of the Company's financial performance and involves differences from net income computed in accordance with U.S. GAAP, it should be considered along with, but not as an alternative to, the Company's net income computed in accordance with U.S. GAAP as a measure of the Company's financial performance. In addition, because not all companies use identical calculations, the Company's presentation of Core Earnings may not be comparable to other similarly-titled measures of other companies.
In calculating Core Earnings, Net Income (in accordance with U.S. GAAP) is adjusted to exclude unrealized gains and losses on MBS acquired by the Company in the secondary market, but is not adjusted to exclude unrealized gains and losses on MBS retained by Ready Capital as part of its loan origination businesses, where the Company transfers originated loans into an MBS securitization and the Company retains an interest in the securitization. In calculating Core Earnings, the Company does not adjust Net Income (in accordance with U.S. GAAP) to take into account unrealized gains and losses on MBS retained by us as part of the loan origination businesses because the unrealized gains and losses that are generated in the loan origination and securitization process are considered to be a fundamental part of this business and an indicator of the ongoing performance and credit quality of the Company's historical loan originations. In calculating Core Earnings, Net Income (in accordance with U.S. GAAP) is adjusted to exclude realized gains and losses on certain MBS securities considered to be non-core. Certain MBS positions are considered to be non-core due to a variety of reasons which may include collateral type, duration, and size.
In addition, in calculating Core Earnings, Net Income (in accordance with U.S. GAAP) is adjusted to exclude unrealized gains or losses on residential MSRs, held at fair value. The Company treats its commercial MSRs and residential MSRs as two separate classes based on the nature of the underlying mortgages and the treatment of these assets as two separate pools for risk management purposes. Servicing rights relating to the Company's small business commercial business are accounted for under ASC 860, Transfer and Servicing, while the Company's residential MSRs are accounted for under the fair value option under ASC 825, Financial Instruments. In calculating Core Earnings, the Company does not exclude realized gains or losses on either commercial MSRs or residential MSRs, held at fair value, as servicing income is a fundamental part of Ready Capital's business and is an indicator of the ongoing performance.
The following table reconciles net income computed in accordance with U.S. GAAP to Core Earnings for the three months ended June 30, 2020:
