Second Quarter 2023
Highlights
- On May 2, 2023, and then
subsequent to quarter-end on July 5, 2023, completed two-step
transaction with Ovation Partners LP (“Ovation”) for the management
of Ovation’s Alternative Income platform. The Alternative
Income platform is focused on investments in commercial lending,
real estate lending, consumer finance and litigation finance.
Concurrent with the initial closing on May 2, 2023, a wholly owned
subsidiary of Mount Logan upsized its existing credit facility by
$4.5 million. Mount Logan Management LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary
of Mount Logan (“ML Management”) began earning revenues from this
acquisition immediately following the initial close. Upon final
closing on July 5, 2023 ML Management became the adviser of the
Ovation’s alternative income platform.
- Purchased a minority stake
in a large, Canadian alternative asset manager on June 30,
2023, which specializes in global fixed-income and
alternative credit strategies. Through its investment, Mount Logan
gains access to the team’s expertise in investment grade credit and
high yield investing.
- Total net investment income
for the insurance segment of the Company was $21.3
million, an increase of $1.1 million as compared to the first
quarter of 2023 and an increase of $9.5 million as compared to
$11.8 million for the second quarter of 2022. The increase is
primarily due to the increase in interest rates and the increase in
Ability's investment portfolio as additional multi-year guaranteed
annuity (“MYGA”) policies were reinsured.
- Investment contract
liabilities, including MYGA products, had a carrying
value1 of $158.7 million as of quarter ended June 30, 2023, an
increase of $46.1 million when compared to a carrying value1 of
$112.6 million as of the quarter ended March 31, 2023. The increase
of investment contract liabilities primarily through premium growth
through the reinsurance of MYGA helps increase the Company’s total
working capital and contributes to higher total assets in the
insurance segment.
- Fee Related Earnings
(“FRE”) for the asset management segment of the Company
was $1.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023, an
increase of $0.1 million as compared to $1.4 million in the
corresponding period in the prior year.
- The Company announced the
appointment of David Allen and Buckley Ratchford as directors of
the Company. Mr. Allen is a Senior Advisor to Grant
Thornton, a global tax, audit, accounting and advisory firm and a
Senior Advisor and Board member of CBRE Investment Management, a
real estate investment management firm. Mr. Allen has over 25 years
of experience in deal origination, financings, mergers and
acquisitions, valuations and restructurings. Mr. Ratchford has over
two decades of experience as a private investor and is currently
the Principal at Jackson Square LLC, an active investment vehicle
for investments in private credit, private equity, venture capital
and distressed investments. Mr. Ratchford is also a former business
partner at Goldman, Sachs & Co. and the founder and former
Managing Partner of Wingspan Management Investment.
Subsequent Events
- Announced the completion of
the previously announced transaction with Ovation on July
5, 2023 the Company completed the transactions under its membership
interest and asset purchase agreement (the “Ovation Purchase
Agreement”) with Ovation Partners , LP (the “Ovation Advisor”), a
Texas-based specialty-finance focused asset manager, pursuant to
which the Company acquired (collectively, the “Ovation
Acquisition”) all of the membership interests of Ovation and
certain assets from the Ovation Advisor, pursuant to which ML
Management has become the investment advisor to the platform.
Ovation's platform is focused on investments in commercial lending,
real estate lending, consumer finance and litigation finance. As
partial consideration for the acquisition, MLC issued an aggregate
of 3,186,398 common shares at a deemed price of C$2.8314 per share.
In connection with the acquisition of Ovation, a subsidiary of ML
Management assumed the line of credit of Ovation, having an
outstanding balance of $1.8 million as of July 5 ,2023.
- Declared a shareholder
distribution in the amount of C$0.02 per common share for
the third quarter of 2023, payable on August 31, 2023, to
shareholders of record at the close of business on August 22, 2023.
This cash dividend marks the sixteenth 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.
Management Commentary
- Ted
Goldthorpe, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of Mount
Logan stated, “As we close out the first half of 2023, we
are beginning to see strong earnings momentum across both the asset
management and insurance solutions segments of the Company. Both
revenue for the asset management segment and net investment income
for the insurance solutions segment grew quarter-over-quarter and
year-over-year. Ability further progressed on its reinsurance
activities of fixed annuities, helping grow total assets of the
platform. As we discuss each quarter, we remain active in
evaluating strategic investments for the platform and we closed a
minority investment in a large private fixed income asset manager
prior to quarter-end as well as completed the final closing of the
Ovation transaction shortly after quarter-end, both of which will
drive incremental fee-related earnings for the business in the
future and add further depth and diversification of our specialized
credit investment strategies. I am grateful to our team for their
tireless work and commitment to the platform and am excited for the
opportunity to update our shareholders on additional progress on
increasing fee-related earnings, growing assets at the insurance
company and integrating our recent acquisitions.”

Highlights
- Total
revenue for the asset management segment of the Company
was $3.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023, an
increase of $1.1 million as compared with $1.9 million for the
three months ended March 31, 2023, and an increase of $0.8 million
as compared with $2.2 million for the three months ended
June 30, 2022. The increase in revenue was largely driven by
increased management and servicing fees, and equity investment
earnings. Management fees increased $0.91 million for the three
months ended June 30, 2023, from the corresponding period in
the prior year, resulting from the first phase of the completion of
the Ovation acquisition in the second quarter of 2023, which
entitled the Company to receive the associated management and
incentive fees.
- Total revenue for the
insurance segment of the Company for the three months
ended June 30, 2023, of $9.7 million, a decrease of $0.5 million as
compared to $10.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023
and an increase of $30.7 million as compared to $(21.0) million for
the three months ended June 30, 2022. The increase year-over-year
is primarily due to the increase in risk-adjusted yields and the
increase in Ability's investment portfolio.
- Reported net (loss)
income available to holders of common shares for the three
months ended June 30, 2023, was $(0.7) million. This compares to
reported net income (loss) of $(29.5) million for the three months
ended March 31, 2023. This increase resulted primarily from an
increase in net insurance finance income due to risk-adjusted
interest rate changes.
- Adjusted net (loss)
income available to holders of common shares for the three
months ended June 30, 2023, was $1.1 million. This compares to
reported adjusted net income of $(28.8) million for the three
months ended March 31, 2023. Adjusted net income (loss) in the
current and prior year periods excludes transaction costs,
acquisition-related costs (including integration costs), and
amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets for the asset
management segment and certain market-related impacts and
experience-related items for the insurance segment. This increase
resulted primarily from an increase in net insurance finance income
due to interest rate changes.
- Total Capital as
of June 30, 2023, was $91.9 million, a decrease of $25.7
million from December 31, 2022. Total capital consists of debt
obligations and total shareholders’ equity.
- Basic Earnings per share
(“EPS”) was $(0.03) for the three months ended June 30,
2023, an increase of $1.30 from $(1.33) for the three months ended
March 31, 2023. The increase in EPS across basic and adjusted
presentation, as discussed below, resulted primarily from a change
in net insurance finance expense driven by an increase in market
interest rates in the quarter.
- Adjusted basic EPS
was $0.05 for the quarter ended June 30, 2023, an increase of $1.35
from $(1.30) for the three months ended March 31, 2023.

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 of June 30, 2023, the Company has working
capital of $235.3 million, reflecting current assets of $248.3
million, offset by current liabilities of $13.0 million, as
compared with working capital of $179.6 million as at March 31,
2023, reflecting current assets of $199.7 million, offset by
current liabilities of $20.1 million. The increase in working
capital is primarily driven by increased cash in the insurance
segment as a result of premium growth through the reinsurance of
MYGA.
Interest Rate Risk
The Company holds certain debt investments with
fixed interest rates that exposes it to fair value interest rate
risk. The Company also holds debt investments with variable
interest rates that exposes it to cash flow interest rate risk and
is partially mitigated with those debt investments subject to an
interest rate floor. The Company also holds a debt obligation
subject to variable interest rates, which partially mitigates it to
cash flow interest rate risk.
The following table summarizes the potential
annualized impact on net income of hypothetical base rate changes
in interest rates on our debt investments and debt obligations
assuming a parallel shift in the yield curve, with all other
variables remaining constant.

About Mount Logan Capital Inc.
Mount Logan Capital Inc. is an alternative asset
management and insurance solutions company that is focused on
public and private debt securities in the North American market and
the reinsurance of annuity products, primarily through its wholly
owned subsidiaries Mount Logan Management LLC (“ML Management”) and
Ability Insurance Company (“Ability”), respectively. The Company
also actively sources, evaluates, underwrites, manages, monitors
and primarily invests in loans, debt securities, and other
credit-oriented instruments that present attractive risk-adjusted
returns and present low risk of principal impairment through the
credit cycle.
Ability Insurance is a Nebraska domiciled
insurer and reinsurer of long-term care policies acquired by Mount
Logan in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2021. 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.
Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking
Statements
This press release contains forward-looking
statements and information within the meaning of applicable
securities legislation. Forward-looking statements can be
identified by the expressions "seeks", "expects", "believes",
"estimates", "will", "target" and similar expressions. The
forward-looking statements are not historical facts but reflect the
current expectations of the Company regarding future results or
events and are based on information currently available to it.
Certain material factors and assumptions were applied in providing
these forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements
discussed in this release include, but are not limited to,
statements relating to the Company’s continued transition to an
asset management and insurance platform business and the entering
into of further strategic transactions to diversify the Company’s
business and further grow recurring management fee and other income
and increasing Ability’s assets; the Company’s plans to focus
Ability's business on the reinsurance of annuity products; the
potential benefits of combining Mount Logan’s and Ovation’s
platform including an increase in fee-related earnings as a result
of the acquisition; the transition of Ovation personnel to Mount
Logan; the Company’s business strategy, model, approach and future
activities; portfolio composition and size, asset management
activities and related income, capital raising activities, future
credit opportunities of the Company including through the Company’s
minority investments, portfolio realizations, the protection of
stakeholder value; the expansion of the Company’s loan portfolio;
the risk that changes to IFRS, including the adoption of IFRS 17,
could have a material impact on the Company’s financial results and
access to capital; and the expansion of Mount Logan’s capabilities.
All forward-looking statements in this press release are qualified
by these cautionary statements. The Company believes that the
expectations reflected in forward-looking statements are based upon
reasonable assumptions; however, the Company can give no assurance
that the actual results or developments will be realized by certain
specified dates or at all. These forward-looking statements are
subject to a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause
actual results or events to differ materially from current
expectations, including that the Company has a limited operating
history with respect to an asset management oriented business
model; Ability may not generate recurring asset management fees,
increase its assets or strategically benefit the Company as
expected; the expected synergies by combining the business of Mount
Logan with the business of Ability may not be realized as expected;
the risk that the Company may not be successful in continuing to
integrate the business of Ability without significant use of the
Company’s resources and management’s attention; the risk that
Ability may require a significant investment of capital and other
resources in order to expand and grow the business; the Company
does not have a record of operating an insurance solutions business
and is subject to all the risks and uncertainties associated with a
broadening of the Company’s business; the risk that the expected
synergies of the acquisition of Ovation may not be realized as
expected; the risk that the Company may not be successful in
integrating the business of Ovation without significant use of the
Company’s resources and management’s attention and the matters
discussed under "Risks Factors" in the most recently filed annual
information form and management discussion and analysis for the
Company. Readers, therefore, should not place undue reliance on any
such forward-looking statements. Further, a forward-looking
statement speaks only as of the date on which such statement is
made. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update any
such statement or to reflect new information or the occurrence of
future events or circumstances except as required by securities
laws. These forward-looking statements are made as of the date of
