Hunt Companies Finance Trust Reports Third Quarter 2018 Financial Results
NEW YORK, Nov. 14, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Hunt Companies Finance Trust, Inc. (NYSE: HCFT) ("we", "HCFT" or "the Company") today announced its financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2018. For the third quarter, the Company reported GAAP net income attributable to common shareholders of $3.5 million, or $0.15 per share, a comprehensive gain of $3.5 million, or $0.15 per share, and core earnings (1) of $2.5 million, or $0.10 per share. The Company also reported a net book value of $4.85 per share at September 30, 2018.
"The third quarter of 2018 reflects positively on the execution of our new strategic direction of focusing on floating-rate commercial loans. During the quarter, the Company closed Hunt CRE 2018-FL2, Ltd., a $285 million commercial real estate Collateralized Loan Obligation, which financed 20 first lien floating-rate commercial real estate mortgage assets acquired from Hunt Finance Company, LLC, an affiliate of the Company's Manager. With this transaction completed, as of September 30, 2018 our portfolio was 98% comprised of floating-rate commercial real estate mortgage loans," noted CEO James Flynn. Mr. Flynn continued, "While the Company continues to evaluate opportunities to monetize the 2% of our portfolio comprised of legacy Multi-family MBS and Residential MSRs, we have already significantly simplified the balance sheet and have reduced our total leverage to 3.5x as of September 30, 2018, from 16.9x as of December 31, 2017. Our operating performance is responding positively, as comprehensive income per share has improved every quarter since Hunt took over as manager in the first quarter of 2018."
(1) | Core Earnings is a non-GAAP measure. Please refer to the reconciliation of the most comparable GAAP measure below. |

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
For financial statement reporting purposes, GAAP requires us to consolidate the assets and liabilities of the FREMF 2012-KF01 Trust. However, our maximum exposure to loss from consolidation of the trusts is limited to the fair value of our net investment therein. We therefore have also presented certain information as of September 30, 2018, and June 30, 2018, that includes our net investments in the consolidated trust. This information as well as core earnings, economic return and comparative expenses constitute non-GAAP financial measures within the meaning of Item 10(e) of Regulation S-K, as promulgated by the SEC. While we believe the non-GAAP information included in this press release provides supplemental information to assist investors in analyzing our remaining agency multifamily MBS position and Non-Agency RMBS, and to assist investors in comparing our results with other peer issuers, these measures are not in accordance with GAAP, and they should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, our financial information calculated in accordance with GAAP. Our GAAP financial results and the reconciliations from these results should be carefully evaluated.

Additional Information
As of September 30, 2018, we have determined that we were the primary beneficiary of one Multi-Family MBS securitization trust, FREMF 2012-KF01 Trust. As a result, we are required to consolidate the trusts' underlying multi-family loans together with their liabilities, income and expenses in our consolidated financial statements. We have elected the fair value option on the assets and liabilities held within the trust, which requires that changes in valuation in the assets and liabilities of this trust be reflected in our consolidated statements of operations.
A reconciliation of our net capital investment in multi-family investments to our financial statements as of September 30, 2018, is set forth below:
Multi-Family Loans held in Securitization Trusts, at fair value(1) | $ | 24,898,204 |
