MLC Mount Logan Capital Inc

Mount Logan Capital Inc. (Cboe Canada: MLC) (“Mount Logan” or the “Company”) announced today its financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2024. All amounts are stated in United States dollars, unless otherwise indicated.

Third Quarter 2024 Highlights

• Total revenue for the asset management segment of the Company of $3.8 million, an increase of $0.6 million, or 20%, as compared to the third quarter of 2023. The increase is primarily due to growth in fees attributable to the increase in Opportunistic Credit Interval Fund ("SOFIX"), CLOs and sub-advisory fees. Third quarter asset management revenues exclude $1.5 million of management fees associated with Mount Logan’s management of the assets of Ability Insurance Company (“Ability”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, during the third quarter of 2024. These Ability management fees represent an increase of $0.4 million, or 35% as compared to third quarter 2023 of $1.1 million.
• Total net investment income for the insurance segment was $23.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, a decrease of $2.5 million, or 10%, as compared to the third quarter of 2023, driven primarily by the write-off of $1.1 million of accrued investment income. Excluding the funds withheld under reinsurance contracts and Modco, insurance segment’s net investment income was $13.5 million, a decrease of $1.7 million, or 11%, as compared to the third quarter of 2023.
• 8.3%1 yield on the insurance investment portfolio as of September 30, 2024, due to ongoing portfolio and capital optimization across the insurance solutions portfolio alongside the benefit of higher base rates. Excluding the funds withheld under reinsurance contracts and Modco, the yield was 8.7%.
• Ability’s total assets managed by Mount Logan increased to $628.5 million as of September 30, 2024, up $218.9 million from third quarter 2023 of $409.6 million. As of September 30, 2024, the insurance segment included $1.1 billion in total investment assets, up $93.8 million or 10% from third quarter 2023 investment assets of $1.0 billion.
• Book value of the insurance segment as of September 30, 2024 was $73.7 million, an increase of $8.6 million as compared to $65.1 million for third quarter 2023, driven by higher insurance net income.
• SRE for the insurance segment increased to $10.7 million for the trailing twelve months ended September 30, 2024, up $9.7 million from trailing twelve months ended September 30, 2023 of $1.0 million primarily driven by an increase in net investment income, lower cost of funds and lower operating expenses. SRE is a non-IFRS financial measure used to assess the insurance segment’s generation of profits excluding the impact of certain market volatility and other one-time, non-core components of insurance segment income (loss). The Company believes this measure is useful to shareholders as it provides additional insight into the underlying economics of the insurance segment.
• FRE for the asset management segment was $1.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, an increase of 126% compared to third quarter 2023. FRE was $7.5 million for the trailing twelve months ended September 30, 2024, an increase of $2.0 million, or 37%, compared to the trailing twelve months ended September 30, 2023 of $5.5 million primarily driven by growth in fees across Ability, CLOs, Ovation, SOFIX and sub-advisory fees.
• Mount Logan announced the hiring of Scott Chan, previously a Managing Director at Canaccord Genuity, to expand its Canadian and Investor Relations presence.

Subsequent Events

• Declared a shareholder distribution in the amount of C$0.02 per common share for the quarter ended September 30, 2024, payable on November 29, 2024 to shareholders of record at the close of business on November 22, 2024. This cash dividend marks the twenty-first consecutive quarter of the Company issuing a C$0.02 distribution to its shareholders. This dividend is designated by the Company as an eligible dividend for the purpose of the Income Tax Act (Canada) and any similar provincial or territorial legislation. An enhanced dividend tax credit applies to eligible dividends paid to Canadian residents.
• Announced Mount Logan has agreed to purchase a minority stake in Runway Growth Capital LLC (“Runway”), an SEC registered investment adviser, managing approximately $1.4 billion in private credit assets. Mount Logan is acquiring the minority stake alongside BC Partners Credit, who is acquiring the majority stake in the platform. There will be no change to Runway’s management team or day-to-day operations following close of the transaction. The closing of the transaction, which is expected to occur in the fourth quarter of 2024, is subject to customary closing conditions, including approval of the new investment advisory agreement with Runway by Runway Growth Finance’s stockholders and the approval of the Cboe for the issuance of common shares of the Company to the selling members of Runway.

Management Commentary

• Ted Goldthorpe, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of Mount Logan stated, “We are excited to announce our third quarter 2024 results, which demonstrate the earnings power of both our asset management and insurance segments. Fee Related Earnings, or FRE, of the asset management segment was up significantly year-over-year and highlights the growing profitability of our asset management business. Additionally, our Spread Related Earnings, or SRE, highlights the continued profitability of our insurance segment. The integration of our businesses and focus on profitability are driving consistent improvements in operating performance, while we focus on creating scale through organic and inorganic growth initiatives, which includes the recent Runway announcement.”

_______________________________

1The yield is calculated based on the net investment income excluding reinsured portfolio income less management fees paid to Mount Logan divided by the average of investments in financial assets for the current and prior period, and then is annualized.

Selected Financial Highlights

• Total Capital of the Company was $132 million as at September 30, 2024, an increase of $2.1 million as compared to December 31, 2023. Total capital consists of debt obligations and total shareholders’ equity.
• Consolidated net income (loss) before taxes was $(17.4 million) for the three months ended September 30, 2024, a decrease of $33.6 million from $16.2 million for third quarter 2023. The decrease was primarily attributable to the increase in net insurance finance expenses resulting from significant decreases in risk-adjusted market interest rates. This decrease was partially offset by revenue growth in both asset management and insurance segments. Asset management revenue increased due to higher management fees, and improvement in insurance segment revenue resulting from better insurance service results and higher net gains from investment activities. Additionally, the decrease was also offset by reduced administrative expenses under the Insurance segment.
• Basic Earnings per share (“EPS”) was $(0.68) for the three months ended September 30, 2024, a decrease of $1.30 from $0.62 for the third quarter 2023.
• Adjusted basic EPS was $(0.67) for the third quarter 2024, a decrease of $1.35 from $0.68 for the third quarter 2023.

Spread Related Earnings (“SRE”)

Effective March 31, 2024, the Company has introduced a new non-IFRS measure, SRE. The Company uses SRE to assess the performance of the insurance segment, excluding the impact of certain market volatility and other one-time, non-core components of insurance segment income (loss). Excluded items under SRE are investment gains (losses), effects of discount rates and other financial variables on the value of insurance obligations (which is a component of “net insurance finance income/(expense)”), other income and certain general, administrative & other expenses. The Company believes this measure is useful to securityholders as it provides additional insight into the underlying economics of the insurance segment, as further discussed below.

For the insurance segment, SRE equals the sum of (i) the net investment income on the insurance segment’s net invested assets (excluding investment income earned on funds held under reinsurance contracts) less (ii) cost of funds (as described below) and (iii) certain operating expenses.

Cost of funds includes the impact of interest accretion on insurance and investment contract liabilities and amortization of losses recognized for new insurance contracts that are deemed onerous at initial recognition. It also includes experience adjustments which represents the difference between actual and expected cashflows and includes the impact of certain changes to non-financial assumptions.

The Company reconciles SRE to net income (loss) before tax from its insurance segment activities, as follows:

Future interest accretion and ceded commissions are amortized over the average duration of MYGA contracts reinsured which aligns with the recognition of insurance service revenue. Loss on onerous contracts are part of Insurance service expense.(7) Represents certain costs incurred by the insurance segment for purposes of IFRS reporting but not the day to day operations of the insurance company.

The following table presents SRE, the performance measure of the insurance segment:

(1) Excludes net investment income from investment activities on assets retained by the Company under funds withheld arrangement with Front Street Re and Vista Life and Casualty Reinsurance Company (“Vista”).

Spread related earnings ("SRE") was $10.7 million for the trailing twelve months ended September 30, 2024 compared with $1.0 million for the trailing twelve months ended September 30, 2023, an increase of $9.7 million. SRE increased year over year due to increased investment income, lower cost of funds, and lower other operating expenses. Investment income increased primarily due to an increase in total insurance investment assets as a result of new MYGA business and improvements in yield across the investment portfolio. Cost of funds decreased primarily because of a decrease in the amortization of reinsurance CSM in the current period due to change in the CSM amortization methodology, as well as the one-time benefit of $4.8 million in the first quarter of 2024 as a result of an in-force update to Long Term Care business. Other operating expenses decreased as a result of efforts to reduce overall operating costs.

SRE as a percentage of average net invested assets was 1.8% for the trailing twelve months ended September 30, 2024 compared with 0.2% for the trailing twelve months ended September 30, 2023.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of September 30, 2024, the asset management segment had $71.8 million (par value) of borrowings outstanding, of which $33.8 million had a fixed rate and $38 million had a floating rate. As of September 30, 2024, the insurance segment had $14.3 million (par value) of borrowings outstanding. Liquid assets, including high-quality assets that are marketable, can be pledged as security for borrowings, and can be converted to cash in a time frame that meets liquidity and funding requirements. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the total liquid assets of the Company were as follows:

($ in Thousands)

As at	September 30, 2024			December 31, 2023
Cash and cash equivalents	$	106,309		$	90,220

Accrued interest and dividend receivable		20,013			19,340
Total liquid assets	$	797,856		$	762,248

The Company defines working capital as the sum of cash, restricted cash, investments that mature within one year of the reporting date, management fees receivable, receivables for investments sold, accrued interest and dividend receivables, and premium receivables, less the sum of debt obligations, payables for investments purchased, amounts due to affiliates, reinsurance liabilities, and other liabilities that are payable within one year of the reporting date.

As at September 30, 2024, the Company had working capital of $227 million, reflecting current assets of $244 million, offset by current liabilities of $17.2 million, as compared with working capital of $183 million as at December 31, 2023, reflecting current assets of $231 million, offset by current liabilities of $47.4 million. The increase in working capital was attributed to an increase in cash and cash equivalents from new MYGA business in the first half of 2024, as well as the settlement of payables related to MYGA against the new MYGA policies assumed. Additionally, there was an increase in cash within the asset management segment from increased management and incentive fee receipts, the redemption of SOFIX shares, and net proceeds from the issuance of debenture units, as well as a decrease in due to affiliates and accrued expenses. The decrease in due to affiliates is due to a reclassification of the maturity of these balances from current to unspecified, and the decrease in accrued expenses was driven by lower transaction costs, transition services agreement costs, and legal fee accruals.

Interest Rate Risk

The Company has obligations to policyholders and other debt obligations that expose it to interest rate risk. The Company also owns debt assets and interest rate swaps that are exposed to interest rate risk. The fair value of these obligations and assets may change if base rate changes in interest rates occur.

The following table summarizes the potential impact on net assets of hypothetical base rate changes in interest rates assuming a parallel shift in the yield curve, with all other variables remaining constant.

Ability is unique in the insurance industry in that its long-term care portfolio’s morbidity risk has been largely re-insured to third parties, and Ability is no longer insuring or re-insuring new long-term care risk.

Non-IFRS Financial Measures

This press release makes reference to certain non-IFRS financial measures. These measures are not recognized measures under IFRS, do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. Rather, these measures are provided as additional information to complement IFRS financial measures by providing further understanding of the Company’s results of operations from management’s perspective. The Company’s definitions of non-IFRS measures used in this press release may not be the same as the definitions for such measures used by other companies in their reporting. Non-IFRS measures have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation nor as a substitute for analysis of the Company’s financial information reported under IFRS. The Company believes that securities analysts, investors and other interested parties frequently use non-IFRS financial measures in the evaluation of issuers. The Company’s management also uses non-IFRS financial measures in order to facilitate operating performance comparisons from period to period.

Opportunistic Credit Interval Fund Important Disclosures

An investor should consider the investment objectives, risks, charges, and expenses of SOFIX carefully before investing. To obtain a copy of the prospectus containing this and other information, please call (833) 404-4103 or download the file from www.opportunisticcreditintervalfund.com. Read the prospectus carefully before you invest.

Investing involves risk. Investment return and the principal value of an investment will fluctuate, and an Investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. SOFIX is subject to the general risks associated with investing in debt and loan instruments, including market, credit, liquidity, and interest rate risk. The Fund is subject to management and other expenses, which will be paid by SOFIX. Because of the risks associated with SOFIX’s ability to use leverage, an investment in SOFIX should be considered speculative and involving a high degree of risk, including the risk of a substantial loss of investment.

There currently is no secondary market for SOFIX 's shares and SOFIX expects that no secondary market will develop. Shares of SOFIX will not be listed on any securities exchange, which makes them inherently illiquid. An investment in SOFIX 's shares is not suitable for investors who cannot tolerate risk of loss or who require liquidity, other than the liquidity provided through the SOFIX 's repurchase policy. Limited liquidity is provided to shareholders only through SOFIX's quarterly repurchase offers, regardless of how SOFIX performs. SOFIX 's distributions policy may, under certain circumstances, have certain adverse consequences to SOFIX and its shareholders because it may result in a return of capital, resulting in less of a shareholder's assets being invested in SOFIX, and, over time, increase SOFIX 's expense ratio. Any invested capital that is returned to the shareholder will be reduced by the SOFIX's fees and expenses, as well as the applicable sales load. Investments in lesser-known, small and medium capitalization companies may be more vulnerable than larger, more established organizations. The sales of securities to fund repurchases could reduce the market price of those securities, which in turn would reduce the SOFIX's NAV.
