PMC Commercial Trust Announces Second Quarter Results
PMC Commercial Trust
AMEX (Symbol PCC)
Dallas, TX | August 12, 2003 |
PMC Commercial Trust (AMEX: PCC) announced second quarter and year-to-date results today. For the three months ended June 30, 2003, net income was $1,839,000, or $0.29 per share, compared to $3,164,000, or $0.49 per share, for the three months ended June 30, 2002. For the six months ended June 30, 2003, net income was $3,651,000, or $0.57 per share, compared to $5,812,000, or $0.90 per share, for the six months ended June 30, 2002. The decreases were primarily a result of (i) decreased interest rates on our variable-rate loans and continued emphasis on variable-rate lending, (ii) reductions in prepayment fee income and (iii) no asset sales during 2003 (during the three and six months ended June 30, 2002 we recognized gains of $854,000 and $1,225,000, respectively).
During the three months ended June 30, 2003, PMC Commercial Trust funded $12.1 million in loans to small businesses compared to $6.5 million during the second quarter of 2002. At June 30, 2003, we had commitments to fund an additional $21.4 million in loans.
Andrew S. Rosemore, Chairman of the Board stated, Our portfolio continues to perform well in this economic environment. Since the majority of our loans have a variable rate of interest, the continuation of the low interest rate environment has had a negative impact on our net income. We are currently in the process of finalizing a loan pool for a structured loan sale transaction and are hopeful that it will be completed by the end of the third quarter.
Andrew S. Rosemore further stated, We announced our plans to merge with PMC Capital on March 27, 2003 and we look forward to the completion of the merger.
Completion of the merger, now expected to occur on January 1, 2004 but not later than February 29, 2004, is subject to approval by the shareholders of PMC Commercial Trust and PMC Capital, Inc., certain governmental consents and customary closing conditions.

FUNDS FROM OPERATIONS (FFO)
RECONCILIATION
FFO (i) does not represent cash flows from operations as defined by generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), (ii) is not indicative of cash available to fund all cash flow needs and liquidity, including our ability to make distributions, and (iii) should not be considered as an alternative to net income (as determined in accordance with GAAP) for purposes of evaluating our operating performance. We believe FFO is helpful to investors as a supplemental measure of operating performance since, along with net income and cash flows, it provides a useful measure of actual operating results. In addition, FFO is one of the measures utilized by the Board in its determination of dividends. FFO, as defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (NAREIT), means net income or loss determined in accordance with GAAP, excluding gains or losses from sales of property, plus real estate depreciation and amortization and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. We calculate FFO based on the NAREIT definition. Our method of calculating FFO may be different from the methods used by other real estate investment trusts (REITs) and, accordingly, may not be directly comparable to such other REITs. Our formulation of FFO set forth below is consistent with the NAREIT White Paper definition of FFO.
A reconciliation of our FFO for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2003 and 2002 was as follows:
