BRANFORD, Conn., Aug. 05, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Sachem Capital Corp. (NYSE American: SACH) (the 鈥淐ompany鈥�), a real estate lender specializing in originating, underwriting, funding, servicing, and managing a portfolio of loans secured by first mortgages on real property, today announced its financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2025.

John Villano, CPA, Sachem Capital鈥檚 Chief Executive Officer commented, 鈥淚n the second quarter, we remained focused on portfolio management and capital preservation with additional decisive steps to strengthen our financial position. Total assets increased from year-end, as liquidity remained strong, supported by a stable cash position and the successful execution of a Senior Secured Notes private placement offering. While elevated nonperforming loans have impacted year-over-year revenue, we are encouraged by signs of stable credit reserves, net new loan deployment and continuing income from LLC investments. We remain committed to prudent capital allocation and disciplined portfolio management as we navigate the current environment, positioning us to capitalize on high-quality lending opportunities as markets stabilize enabling us to drive long-term shareholder value.鈥�

Results of operations for the quarter ended June 30, 2025

Total revenue was $10.8 million compared to $15.1 million in the second quarter of 2024. The change in revenue was primarily due to the cumulative effect of materially lower net new origination over the last twelve months, resulting in a reduction in the unpaid principal balance of loans held for investment, in addition to a currently elevated amount of nonperforming loans and real estate owned. As of June 30, 2025, the Company鈥檚 net loans held for investment totaled $364.5 million, compared to $485.7 million as of June 30, 2024, representing a decline of $121.2 million in the net principal balance. On the other hand, other income increased by $0.5 million. This was driven by the recognition of rental income from one project in 2025, which contributed $0.5 million during the quarter. No such rental income was recorded in the prior year.

Total operating costs and expenses for the second quarter of 2025 were $9.7 million compared to $18.3 million in the same quarter last year. The primary contributor to this decrease was the reduction in the provision for credit losses related to loans held for investment, which declined by $7.6 million or 89.1%. This change was driven by a decrease in direct allowances related to foreclosures and non-performing loans.听听 Additionally, the change was due to reductions in interest and amortization expense of $0.8 million and change in valuation allowance related to loans held for sale of $1.1 million. Such reductions were partially offset by an increase in compensation and employee benefits of $0.5 million and other expenses of $0.3 million.

Net income attributable to common shareholders for the second quarter of 2025 was $0.8 million, or $0.02 per common share, compared to net loss attributable to common shareholders of $4.1 million, or $0.09 per common share for the second quarter of 2024.

Balance Sheet

At quarter end total assets were $501.8 million compared to $492.0 million as of December 31, 2024 and total liabilities were $323.9 million compared to $310.3 million as of December 31, 2024.

Total indebtedness at quarter-end was $315.5 million. This includes: $227.5 million of unsecured notes payable (net of $2.7 million of deferred financing costs), $46.4 million of senior secured notes payable (net of $3.6 million of deferred financing costs), $14.4 million of repurchase agreements, $26.2 million outstanding on a $50.0 million revolving credit facility and $1.0 million of outstanding principal on mortgage loan on the Company鈥檚 office building.

Total shareholders鈥� equity at June 30, 2025 was $177.9 million compared to $181.7 million at year-end 2024.听听

Book value per common share

Book value per common share as of June 30, 2025, was $2.54, a change of $0.10 from book value per common share as of December 31, 2024 of $2.64. Such reduction is primarily due to cash dividends declared and paid for the six months ended June 30, 2025 on issued and outstanding common shares and Series A Preferred Stock totaling $7.0 million, or $0.15 per common share, partially offset by net income for the six months ended June 30, 2025 of $2.8 million, or $0.06 per common share.
