TORONTO, Aug. 07, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Mount Logan Capital Inc. (Cboe Canada: MLC) (“Mount Logan” or the “Company”) announced today its financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2025.
Second Quarter 2025 Highlights
- FRE for the asset management segment was $1.9 million for the quarter, an increase of 19% compared to the second quarter of 2024, due to stability in management fee revenues, as well as reduction in expenses within the asset management expense. FRE for the trailing twelve months was $8.4 million, an increase of 28% from the comparative trailing twelve-month period, primarily attributable to the increase in fee revenue, equity investment earnings and other income, combined with the decrease in general, administrative and other expenses.
- Total revenue for the asset management segment of the Company was $4.5 million, an increase of $1.2 million, or 34%, as compared to the second quarter of 2024. Asset management revenues exclude $1.6 million of management fees associated with Mount Logan’s management of the assets of Ability Insurance Company (“Ability”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, which increased by $0.1 million, or approximately 6% as compared to the second quarter 2024 of $1.5 million.
- Total net investment income for the insurance segment was $20.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, a decrease of $2.9 million, or 12%, as compared to the second quarter of 2024, owing to a decrease in bond yields, reduced investment balance, interest expense related to interest rate swaps and reduction in previously accrued income on legacy mortgage loan portfolio assets within Ability’s sub-managed portfolio.
- Achieved 7.2%1 yield on the insurance investment portfolio for the quarter ended June 30, 2025. Excluding the funds withheld under reinsurance contracts and modified coinsurance, the yield was 7.4%.
- Ability’s total assets managed by Mount Logan increased to $680 million as of June 30, 2025, an increase of $43 million from the second quarter of 2024 of $636 million. As of June 30, 2025, the insurance segment included approximately $1.1billion in total investment assets, flat from the second quarter of 2024 investment assets of $1.1 billion.
- Book value of the insurance segment as of June 30, 2025 was $88.5 million, a decrease of $0.3 million as compared to $88.8 million for the second quarter of 2024. SRE for the insurance segment was $4.6 million for the trailing twelve months ended June 30, 2025, down $7.0 million from the trailing twelve months ended June 30, 2024 of $11.6 million, primarily driven by an increase in cost of funds, partially offset by lower other operating expenses. The increase in cost of funds was primarily driven by an unfavorable in-force update, as claims were higher than anticipated, to the Long Term Care (“LTC”) business (Guardian block) of $1.8 million for the trailing twelve months ended June 30, 2025, while there was a favorable in-force update to the LTC business (Medico block) of $4.8 million for the twelve months ended June 30, 2024. Additionally, higher interest accretion on LTC liabilities further contributed to the increase in cost of funds. Other operating expenses decreased as we continue to optimize and streamline operations and reduce overall expenses.
Subsequent Events
- Declared a shareholder distribution in the amount of C$0.02 per common share for the quarter ended June 30, 2025, payable on August 25, 2025 to shareholders of record at the close of business on August 19, 2025. This cash dividend marks the twenty-fourth 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.
- A definitive joint proxy statement/prospectus was filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for the previously announced merger of Mount Logan with 180 Degree Capital Corp. (Nasdaq: TURN) (“180 Degree Capital”), in an all-stock transaction (the “Business Combination”). The surviving entity is expected to be a Delaware corporation operating as New Mount Logan listed on Nasdaq under the symbol “MLCI”. As required under U.S. federal securities laws and related rules and regulations, the joint proxy statement/prospectus included Mount Logan’s audited financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 and quarters ended March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2024 prepared in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. In connection with the Business Combination, shareholders of Mount Logan will receive proportionate ownership of New Mount Logan determined by reference to Mount Logan’s transaction equity value at signing, subject to certain pre-closing adjustments, relative to 180 Degree Capital's Net Asset Value ("NAV") at closing. Shareholders holding approximately 26% of the outstanding shares of Mount Logan and approximately 20% of the outstanding shares of 180 Degree Capital signed voting agreements supporting the Business Combination, and an additional 8% of Mount Logan and 7% of 180 Degree Capital shareholders, respectively, have provided written non-binding indications of support for the Business Combination. Mount Logan’s special meeting of shareholders is currently scheduled for August 22, 2025 to consider and, if deemed advisable, approve, various resolutions related to the Business Combination. Shareholders are encouraged to vote FOR all resolutions to be considered at the special meeting of shareholders.
- Portman Ridge Finance Corporation (Nasdaq: PTMN) and Logan Ridge Finance Corporation (Nasdaq: LRFC) merger closed. Mount Logan currently earns management fees from LRFC and has a minority stake in PTMN’s manager, Sierra Crest Investment Management.

Management Commentary
- Ted Goldthorpe, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of Mount Logan stated, “We are pleased to report our second quarter 2025 results, which reflect the durability of Mount Logan’s fee-based business model. Our managed funds performance remains strong with low volatility, underpinned by our focus on investing in high quality, private credit assets that exhibit strong risk-adjusted returns. We remain excited about the opportunities we are seeing to deploy capital and increase our assets under management, while we remain focused on enacting operational improvements to increase profitability across our business. We are also nearing the conclusion of our proposed, transformative business combination with 180 Degree Capital. This transaction is expected to position us to accelerate growth across fee and spread-related earnings. A U.S. NASDAQ listing is also expected to broaden our investor base and improve trading liquidity.”
Selected Financial Highlights
- Total Capital of the Company was $142.0 million at June 30, 2025, a decrease of $8.3 million as compared to December 31, 2024. Total capital consists of debt obligations and total shareholders’ equity.
- Consolidated net income (loss) before taxes for the second quarter of 2025 was $(3.3) million, representing a $7.2 million decrease from $3.8 million in the second quarter of 2024. This decrease was primarily driven by higher net insurance finance expenses, due to increased interest accretion on LTC liabilities and lower treasury yields, lower insurance service result, due to higher loss recognition on the newly assumed MYGA business, and lower net investment income, owing to decrease in bond yields, interest expense related to interest rate swaps and write-off of accrued income on a mortgage loan. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in net gains from investment activities mainly from unrealized gains on assets and interest rate swaps resulting from lower treasury yields within the insurance segment. Additionally, higher corporate transaction costs related to the Business Combination and amortization expense on intangible assets under the asset management segment further contributed to the loss compared to the second quarter of 2024.
- Basic Earnings (loss) per share (“EPS”) was ($0.12) for the second quarter of 2025, a decrease of $0.26 from $0.14 for the second quarter of 2024.
- Adjusted basic EPS was $0.03 for the second quarter of 2025, a decrease of $0.12 from $0.15 for the second quarter of 2024.

Spread Related Earnings (“SRE”)
The Company uses SRE to assess the performance of the insurance segment, excluding the impact of certain market volatility and other one-time, non-core components of insurance segment income (loss). Excluded items under SRE are investment gains (losses), effects of discount rates and other financial variables on the value of insurance obligations (which is a component of “net insurance finance income/(expense)”), other income and certain general, administrative & other expenses. The Company believes this measure is useful to securityholders as it provides additional insight into the underlying economics of the insurance segment, as further discussed below.
For the insurance segment, SRE equals the sum of (i) the net investment income on the insurance segment’s net invested assets (excluding investment income earned on funds held under reinsurance contracts) less (ii) cost of funds (as described below) and (iii) certain operating expenses.
Cost of funds includes the impact of interest accretion on insurance and investment contract liabilities and amortization of losses recognized for new insurance contracts that are deemed onerous at initial recognition. It also includes experience adjustments, which represent the difference between actual and expected cashflows and includes the impact of certain changes to non-financial assumptions.
The Company reconciles SRE to net income (loss) before tax from its insurance segment activities, as follows:

Spread related earnings ("SRE") was $4.6 million for the trailing twelve months ended June 30, 2025 compared with $11.6 million for the trailing twelve months ended June 30, 2024, a decrease of $7.0 million. SRE decreased year over year due to higher cost of funds, partially offset by lower other operating expenses. Cost of funds increased primarily due to an unfavorable impact of in-force update of $1.8 million related to the LTC business (Guardian block) whereas the trailing twelve months ended June 2024 had a favorable in-force impact of $4.8 million from the LTC business (Medico block). Additionally, higher interest accretion on LTC liabilities further contributed to the increase in cost of funds. Other operating expenses decreased driven by ongoing efforts to streamline operations and reduce overall expenses.
SRE as a percentage of average net invested assets was 0.7% for the trailing twelve months ended June 30, 2025 compared with 2.1% for the trailing twelve months ended June 30, 2024.

| Total liquid assets | $ | 786,774 | $ | 782,438 | |
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 at June 30, 2025, the Company had working capital of $238.2 million, reflecting current assets of $260.5 million, offset by current liabilities of $22.3 million, as compared with working capital of $231.2 million as at December 31, 2024, reflecting current assets of $245.3 million, offset by current liabilities of $14.1 million. The increase in working capital was primarily attributable to the increase in cash within the insurance business, partially offset by the decrease in cash within the asset management business, the decrease in investments and receivables for investments sold in the insurance business, and the increase in accrued expenses across both asset management and insurance.
Interest Rate Risk
The Company has obligations to policyholders and other debt obligations that expose it to interest rate risk. The Company also owns debt assets and interest rate swaps that are exposed to interest rate risk. The fair value of these obligations and assets may change if base rate changes in interest rates occur.
The following table summarizes the potential impact on net assets of hypothetical base rate changes in interest rates assuming a parallel shift in the yield curve, with all other variables remaining constant.
