MMA Capital Management Announces First Quarter 2016 Financial Results and Investor Conference Call

BALTIMORE, May 10, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- MMA Capital Management, LLC (NASDAQ: MMAC) ("MMA Capital" or "the Company") today reported financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2016, including common shareholders' equity of $121.5 million, or $18.62 per diluted common share.  The Company filed its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2016 (the "First Quarter 2016 Report") with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") earlier today and will hold an investor call on Wednesday, May 11, 2016 at 5:00 p.m. ET.

Common shareholders' equity increased $5.3 million for the quarter to $121.5 million at March 31, 2016 from $116.2 million at December 31, 2015.  The Company reported a 6.8% increase in diluted common shareholders' equity per share representing an increase of $1.19 to $18.62 at March 31, 2016 from $17.43 at December 31, 2015.  The majority of the Company's reported growth per share, or $1.14 per share, in the quarter resulted from equity in income from unconsolidated funds and ventures, net gains on assets and derivatives and a net increase in the fair value of the bond portfolio.  The balance of such growth, $0.05 per share, was due to common share repurchases completed during the quarter at prices below book value per share.

Michael Falcone, MMA Capital's Chief Executive Officer stated, "So far, 2016 is off to a good start. We continue to see opportunities for growth in our solar lending business and good market conditions and strong asset management continue to allow us to realize value in our affordable housing portfolio. To that end, we were able to underwrite and close over $83 million of additional loans through our energy lending joint venture during the first quarter and we have underwritten an additional construction loan for just under $24 million which we plan to hold directly on our books.  As part of our efforts to maximize asset values, we sold an apartment community held through a joint venture resulting in a gain of $2.7 million in the quarter, increasing both our cash balance and creating additional equity value for shareholders.   In addition, we continued to execute on our stock buyback plan during the quarter, buying back approximately 121,000 shares at a discount to book value per share and resulting in immediate accretion for our shareholders.  Lastly, the Board has authorized us to amend our repurchase plan to increase the maximum price at which we may buy back stock to our newly reported GAAP diluted common equity per share of $18.62."
