MMAC MMA Capital Holdings Inc

BALTIMORE, May 17, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- MMA Capital Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq: MMAC) ("MMA Capital" or the "Company") today reported financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2021, including common shareholders' equity ("Book Value") of $280.3 million, or $48.12 per share.  The Company filed its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2021 (the "Quarterly Report"), with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") today.

Key results from the quarter include:

• Book Value decreased $9.6 million to $280.3 million
• Book Value per share decreased $1.69, or 3.4%, to $48.12 per share
• Adjusted Book Value* decreased $13.4 million to $217.5 million
• Adjusted Book Value* per share decreased $2.32, or 5.8%, to $37.34
• Comprehensive loss of $9.7 million was recognized, which consisted of $8.1 million of net loss and $1.6 million of other comprehensive loss
• Net loss before income taxes of $11.2 million, or $1.92 per share, was recognized, which was driven by $9.9 million of equity in losses from the Company's renewable energy joint ventures (the "Solar Ventures"), which includes the impact of the Company's share of net fair value losses related to, as well as the nonaccrual treatment of, loans made by the Solar Ventures to renewable energy projects located in the Electric Reliability Council of Texas ("ERCOT") service area.

Gary Mentesana, MMA Capital's Chief Executive Officer stated, "As previously discussed with our year-end filing, the first quarter was challenging for the Company due to the impact of the Texas winter storms on three solar projects located in the ERCOT service area.  As further described in the Company's filing, the Company's share of net fair value losses recognized by the Solar Ventures in the first quarter related to loans made to such projects was $2.43 per share while the Company's share of interest income not recognized by the Solar Ventures in connection with such loans was $1.20 per share.  However, the total impact of these items was less than the up to $4.00 per share estimate that we disclosed on March 31^st while only the Company's share of net fair value losses caused a decrease to Adjusted Book Value per share reported at December 31, 2020.  Although we believe these loan values have stabilized and may improve with time, the ERCOT market remains volatile and uncertain. In this regard, additional loan-related losses that are material could be recognized in the foreseeable future though whether we recognize such losses, and their exact timing and amount, cannot be predicted.  Nonetheless, we are actively working with our capital partner to mitigate our risks and reduce our exposure to the ERCOT service area while continuing to meet the capital needs in the performing loans in the portfolio.   To this end, one of the ERCOT projects was sold to a third-party in April, which reduced our exposure in the ERCOT service area, and we continue to explore options associated with the balance of projects in the ERCOT service area that we believe will maximize returns on the underlying loan investments.  In spite of the headwinds resulting from the winter storm, we believe the renewable energy portfolio has the ability to perform well for the balance of the year and look forward to keeping the momentum going that is apparent elsewhere in the portfolio."

The Company expects to host an investor call to be held the week of May 24th.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In this press release, the Company presents its financial condition and results of operations in the way it believes will be most meaningful and representative of its business results. Some of the measurements the Company uses are "non-GAAP financial measures" under Securities and Exchange Commission rules and regulations. We present certain non-GAAP financial measures that supplement the financial measures we disclose that are calculated under GAAP. Non-GAAP financial measures are those that include or exclude certain items that are otherwise excluded or included, respectively, from the most directly comparable measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. The non-GAAP financial measures that we disclose are not intended as a substitute for GAAP financial measures and may not be defined or calculated the same way as similar non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies.  The reconciliations of such measures to the most comparable GAAP measures in accordance with Regulation G are included in Table 1 below.

Adjusted Book Value represents Book Value reduced by the carrying value of the Company's DTAs. We believe this measure is useful to investors in assessing the Company's underlying fundamental performance and trends in our business because it eliminates potential volatility in results brought on by tax considerations in a given year. As a result, reporting upon, and measuring changes in, Adjusted Book Value enables for a better comparison of period-to-period operating performance.

Adjusted Book Value per common share represents Adjusted Book Value at the period end divided by the common shares outstanding at the period end.

Management intends to continually evaluate the usefulness, relevance, limitations and calculations of our reported non-GAAP performance measures to determine how best to provide relevant information to the public.

Table 1 provides reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures that are included in this press release to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.
