Net Income of $2.1 Million for the Third Quarter of 2019

Conference Call and Webcast to be Held at 11:00 AM EST on November 15, 2019

Branford, Connecticut, November 14, 2019 -- Sachem Capital Corp. (NYSE American: SACH) today announced its financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2019. In addition, the company announced that it will host a conference call on November 15, 2019 at 11:00 a.m. Eastern Standard Time to discuss its financial condition and operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019.

John Villano, CPA, co-chief executive officer and chief financial officer of Sachem Capital Corp., stated, “I am pleased to report that revenue for the third quarter of 2019 increased 10.7% to $3.4 million and net income increased 4.7% to $2.1 million, compared to the same period last year. In addition, our earnings per share for the third quarter improved sequentially to $0.10 compared to $0.06 for the second quarter of 2019. We believe these improved results validate our strategy to restructure our balance sheet as we have started to deploy the capital we raised during the first six months of the year. While we continue to be highly selective as we review lending opportunities, the demand for our products and services is robust and we are well capitalized with a much stronger balance sheet, which gives us greater flexibility to execute our growth strategy. With approximately $40 million of available capital, including the net proceeds from our recent note offering, we believe we are well positioned heading into the fourth quarter and 2020, in terms of both revenue growth and profitability. Overall, we believe we have built a highly scalable business model to drive both cash flow and value for our shareholders.”

Results of operations – three months ended September 30, 2019

Total revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2019 was approximately $3.4 million compared to approximately $3.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018, an increase of approximately 10.7%. Compared to the 2018 period, for the 2019 period, interest income was higher by approximately $171,000, origination fees were higher by approximately $114,000 and other income was higher by approximately $150,000. These increases were offset by reductions of approximately $107,000 in gain on sale of real estate and approximately $42,000 in late fee income.

Total operating costs and expenses for three months ended September 30, 2019 were approximately $1.3 million compared to $1.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018, an increase of approximately 21.6%. The increase in operating costs and expenses is primarily attributable to increases in interest and amortization of deferred financing costs of approximately $44,000 reflecting the increase in the mortgage loan portfolio, professional fees approximately $51,000 and compensation, fees and taxes of approximately $132,000 offset by stock-based compensation of approximately $25,000 and general and administrative expenses of approximately $11,000.

Net income for the three months ended September 30, 2019 was approximately $2.1 million, or $0.10 per share, compared to $2.0 million, or $0.13 per share for the three months ended September 30, 2018.

Results of operations – nine months ended September 30, 2019

Total revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 was approximately $9.8 million compared to approximately $8.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, an increase of approximately $980,000, or 11.1%. The increase in revenue resulted from an increase in lending operations. For the 2019 period, interest income was approximately $7.5 million, net origination fees were approximately $1.2 million and other income was approximately $650,000. In comparison, for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, interest income was approximately $6.6 million, net origination fees were approximately $1.1 million and other income was approximately $675,000. Fee income increased by approximately $61,000. These increases were offset, in part, by a reduction in gain on the sale of real estate of approximately $100,000.

Total operating costs and expenses for nine months ended September 30, 2019 were approximately $4.5 million compared to $2.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, an increase of approximately 70.0%. The increase in operating costs and expenses is primarily attributable to $780,000 of expense incurred in connection with the termination of the Webster Credit Facility. In addition to that expense being a non-recurring charge, $439,446 represents a write-off of unamortized deferred financing costs, a non-cash item. Interest and amortization of deferred financing costs increased approximately $512,000 reflecting the increase in the mortgage loan portfolio, as well as an increase in the interest rate on the Webster Facility and the slightly higher cost of capital on our unsecured bonds, a $423,000 increase in compensation expense (including stock-based compensation) and an $86,000 increase in general and administrative expenses.

Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 was approximately $5.3 million, or $0.30 per share. In comparison, net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 was $6.1 million, or $0.40 per share.
