Published

on

Reading Time: 10 minutes

  • Reported EPS of $(2.05) per share driven by $(293) million
    mark-to-market
  • Grew servicing portfolio to $632 billion, up 15% quarter-over-quarter
  • Boarded 444,000 new customers or 13% of the servicing portfolio in 35
    days
  • Originations pretax income increased quarter-over-quarter from $11
    million to $45 million
  • Pacific Union and Assurant Mortgage Solutions (AMS) integrations on
    track

DALLAS–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Mr. Cooper Group Inc. (NASDAQ: COOP) (the “Company”), which principally
operates under the Mr. Cooper® and Xome® brands, reported a first
quarter net loss of $(186) million, $(2.05) per diluted share driven
principally by a net fair value mark-to-market on the MSR portfolio of
$(293) million. Excluding the mark-to-market and other items, the
Company reported pretax operating income of $48 million and after-tax
operating income of $36 million equivalent to an after-tax ROTCE of
8.7%. Items excluded from operating income were $(293) million in
mark-to-market net of $25 million in fair value amortization that is
included in the full mark-to-market, $20 million in merger related
costs, $20 million in accounting items and $13 million in intangible
amortization.

Jay Bray, chairman and CEO, commented, “2019 is a year of integration
and investment for Mr. Cooper, designed to set the stage for sustained
growth and higher returns in the years to come. Notable achievements in
the quarter included boarding 440,000 new servicing customers from our
Pacific Union and Seterus acquisitions and making important progress in
the integration of Assurant Mortgage Solutions into Xome.”

Vice chairman and CFO Chris Marshall added, “The first quarter included
a mark-to-market that was in line with our expectations, while the
underlying profitability of the servicing segment was strong, and
originations enjoyed a strong rebound in profitability thanks to
improved capital markets conditions and two months’ contribution from
Pacific Union.”

Servicing

The Servicing segment is focused on providing a best-in-class home loan
experience for our 3.8 million customers while also strengthening asset
performance for investors. In the first quarter, Servicing recorded a
pretax loss of $(186) million principally driven by a net fair value
mark-to-market on the MSR portfolio of $(293) million. The change in
fair value mark-to-market revenue compared to the prior period was
primarily due to a lower interest rate environment. At the end of the
quarter, the carrying value of the MSR was approximately $3.5 billion,
equivalent to 115 bps of MSR UPB, and the original cost basis was 83
bps. Servicing earned pretax operating income excluding the full mark of
$98 million, equivalent to a servicing margin of 6.8 bps. Pretax
operating income improved 11% quarter-over-quarter driven by $20 million
benefit from a collapse of a securitization trust, lower amortization,
net of accretion due to a lower CPR, and lower income contribution from
the reverse portfolio in this quarter relative to the prior quarter.

Mr. Cooper ended the quarter with a servicing portfolio of $632 billion
UPB, achieving 15% growth quarter-over-quarter. The growth was primarily
driven by the Pacific Union and Seterus acquisitions.

Originations

The Originations segment focuses on creating servicing assets at
attractive margins through existing customer relationships and
correspondent originations. Originations earned pretax income of $45
million in the first quarter, up from $11 million in the prior quarter.
The strong results were driven by the lower interest rate environment,
resulting in higher locked volumes and favorable capital markets
conditions which led to recovery in gain-on-sale margins.

Mr. Cooper funded 27,294 loans in the first quarter, totaling
approximately $5.7 billion UPB with $2.2 billion from the
direct-to-consumer channel, $3.1 billion from the correspondent channel,
and $0.4 billion from the Wholesale channel. Funded volume improved 5%
quarter-over-quarter driven by two months of Pacific Union funded volume.

Xome

Xome provides real estate solutions including property disposition,

Cooper and third-party clients. The Xome segment recorded pretax income
of $8 million or $0 million after excluding intangible amortization and
an $11 million change in fair value of the contingent consideration for
the acquisition of AMS. Excluding the contingent consideration,
profitability reflected the impact of the AMS acquisition, which is
moving forward according to plan.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company utilizes non-GAAP financial measures as the measures provide
additional information to assist investors in understanding and
assessing the Company’s and our business segments’ ongoing performance
and financial results, as well as assessing our prospects for future
performance. The adjusted operating financial measures facilitate a
meaningful analysis and allow more accurate comparisons of our ongoing
business operations because they exclude items that may not be
indicative of or are unrelated to the Company’s and our business
segments’ core operating performance, and are better measures for
assessing trends in our underlying businesses. These notable items are
consistent with how management views our businesses. Management uses
these non-GAAP financial measures in making financial, operational and
planning decisions and evaluating the Company’s and our business
segment’s ongoing performance. Pretax operating income (loss) in the
servicing segment eliminates the effects of mark-to-market adjustments
which primarily reflects unrealized gains or losses based on the changes
in fair value measurements of MSRs and their related financing
liabilities for which a fair value accounting election was made. These
adjustments, which can be highly volatile and material due to changes in
credit markets, are not necessarily reflective of the gains and losses
that will ultimately be realized by the Company. Pretax operating income
(loss) in each segment also eliminates, as applicable, transition and
integration costs, gains (losses) on sales of fixed assets, certain
settlement costs that are not considered normal operational matters,
intangible amortization, and other adjustments based on the facts and
circumstances that would provide investors a supplemental means for
evaluating the Company’s core operating performance.

Innocan Pharma Reports Breakthrough in a Pre-Clinical Trial: Liposomal-CBD Injection Restores Mobility to an Amputee Female Donkey

Published

on

innocan-pharma-reports-breakthrough-in-a-pre-clinical-trial:-liposomal-cbd-injection-restores-mobility-to-an-amputee-female-donkey

HERZLIYA, Israel and ALGARY, AB, May 9, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Innocan Pharma Corporation (CSE: INNO) (FSE: IP4) (OTCQB: INNPF) (“Innocan” or the “Company”), a pioneer in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries, is pleased to announce the successful pre-clinical treatment with a liposomal-CBD injection in a female donkey. Innocan’s innovative therapy provided immediate noticeable pain relief and improved mobility.

Miri, a 7-year-old female donkey, underwent amputation of her right front limb at a young age, resulting in a weight burden primarily borne by her left front limb. Consequently, she developed laminitis in her left front limb, an inflammatory disease affecting the soft tissue that connects the foot bone to the hoof, seemingly causing extreme pain and limited mobility. Over time, Miri’s condition worsened, culminating in the formation of a abscess in the affected hoof, which appeared to have intensified her pain. Despite receiving pain relief medications, Miri found no respite, was unable to move, and her caregivers were advised to euthanize her.

As an act of compassionate therapy, the female donkey was administered a liposomal-CBD injection. The effect was immediate, with Miri becoming active and roaming the farm. Following the liposomal-CBD injection, the abscess in her affected foot healed, and Miri regained her ability to walk and move as she did before her laminitis developed.

“Thanks to our innovative liposomal-CBD injection, we are thrilled to have brought relief to Miri, eliminating the need for euthanasia,” commented Iris Bincovich, CEO of Innocan. “Once again, Innocan has shown liposomal-CBD to be effectively active for pain relief and well-being. We see this pre-clinical treatment as strong evidence of liposomal-CBD’s potential to improve the lives of animal patients and potentially human patients.”

“Laminitis is a crippling condition well familiar and common in horses,” said Prof Chezy Barenholz, the Chief Scientific Officer of Innocan. “The disease results in severe pain condition, representing another big market for liposomal-CBD with great potential to treat horses. Innocan is dedicated to advancing the development of CBD-based therapeutics for various indications in both humans and animals.”

IMC prepares for accelerated growth after legalization in Germany and recovers from the impact of the Israel-Hamas war.

TORONTO and GLIL YAM, Israel, May 8, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — IM Cannabis Corp. (the “Company” or “IMC“) (NASDAQ: IMCC) (CSE: IMCC), an international medical cannabis company, announced its financial results today for the first quarter ended March 31, 2024. All amounts are reported in Canadian dollars and compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2023, unless otherwise stated.

Q1 2024 Financial Highlights

  • 13% Revenue increase vs. Q4 2023 of $12.1M vs. $10.7M and 4% decrease vs. Q1 2023 of $12.5M

 

  • 125% Gross profit increase vs. Q4 2023 of $1.8M vs. $0.8 and 39% Gross profit decrease vs. Q1 2023 of $2.9M

 

  • 29% decrease in operating expenses vs. Q1 2023 excluding the one-time Oranim revoke related losses of $4.6M vs. $6.5M and 14% increase including Oranim

 

  • 12% increase of Non-IFRS Adjusted EBITDA loss to $2.1M

Operational Highlights

The Company intends to complete a non-brokered private placement (the “Offering“) of secured convertible debentures of the Company (each, a “Debenture“) for aggregate proceeds of up to C$2,500,000. The Debentures will mature on the date that is 12 months from the date of issuance and will not incur interest except in the event of default. The Debentures are being issued to holders of short term loans and obligations owed by the Company or its wholly owned subsidiaries. The principal of the Debenture may be converted into common shares in the Company (each, a “Share“) at a conversion price of $1.08 per Share.

Management Commentary 

“With the April 1st cannabis legalization in Germany, we are augmenting our focus and resources on the German market, where we expect to see the biggest growth potential, and the best return on investment. While it is still too early to make any predictions, our sales in Germany almost doubled during the month of April,” said Oren Shuster, Chief Executive Officer of IMC. “Looking back on the first month post legalization in Germany, I see that we have the infrastructure and the supply agreements in place to continue delivering the accelerated growth we have already seen in April. We will also ensure that we have the necessary resources in place for success.”   

“In 2023 we completely restructured, becoming a very lean and agile company, leaning into active cost management. This process is reflected in the numbers, our G&A decreased 27% vs Q1 2023” said Uri Birenberg, Chief Financial Officer of IMC. “While our results have recovered from the impact of the Israel-Hamas war, our revenue was still effected by both an unfavorable exchange rate, as well as price reductions to sell off inventory.”

Q1 2024 Conference Call 

The Company will host a Zoom web conference call today at 9:00 a.m. ET to discuss the results, followed by a question-and-answer session for the investment community. Investors are invited to register by clicking here. All relevant information will be sent upon registration.

If you are unable to join us live, a recording of the call will be available on our website at https://investors.imcannabis.com/ within 24 hours after the call.

Q1 2024 Financial Results

  • Revenues for the first quarter of 2024 were $12.1 million compared to $12.5 million in the first quarter of 2023, a decrease of 3%. The decrease is mainly due an exchange rate effect of about $0.2 million and decrease in avg. price per sale due to increased competition.

 

  • Gross profit for the first quarter of 2024 was $1.8 million, compared to $2.9 million in Q1 2024, a decrease of 39%. The downside is attributed mainly to the slow-moving stock that was moved out at a lower price and an exchange rate difference totaling $0.4 million and $0.64 million cost of sales loss due to an inventory erase of the slow-moving stock. Company fair value adjustment was $0 and $0.4 million for the Q1 2024 and Q1 2023 respectively.

 

  • Total Dried Flower sold in Q1 2024 was approximately 1,873 kg with an average selling price of $5.68 per gram, compared to approximately 1,842kg in Q1 2023, with an average selling price of $6.59 per gram. This difference is mainly due to increased competition within the retail segment, and mid-range stock discounts to move out slow moving stock.

Non-IFRS Measures

This press release makes reference to “Gross Margin” and “Adjusted EBITDA”, which are financial measures that are not recognized measures under IFRS and do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and are therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. These measures are provided as complementary information to the Company’s IFRS measures by providing further understanding of our results of operations from management’s perspective. Accordingly, these measures should neither be considered in isolation nor as a substitute for analysis of our financial information reported under IFRS.

For an explanation of how management defines Gross Margin and Adjusted EBITDA, see the Company’s management’s discussion and analysis for the period ended March 31, 2024, available under the Company’s SEDAR+ profile at www.sedarplus.ca on EDGAR at www.sec.gov/edgar.
We reconcile these non-IFRS financial measures to the most comparable IFRS measures as set out below.
