Company Announcements

TORONTO , June 11, 2025 /CNW/ -Montfort Capital Corp. ("Montfort" or the "Company") (TSXV: MONT), today announced financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2025. All figures are reported in Canadian dollars unless otherwise noted.

Financial Highlights

For the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company delivered the following results:

• Loans receivable - net of allowance as at March 31, 2025 was flat compared to the balance at December 31, 2024, as loan growth in the Langhaus and Nuvo businesses was offset by a decline in the Pivot loan book.
• Total revenue decreased by $0.3 million or 31% compared to Q1 2024, primarily reflecting lower transaction fee income generated by the Pivot business.
• Total expenses decreased by $0.6 million or 25% compared to Q1 2024, as management's effort to improve operating efficiency has resulted in reduced staffing and other overhead costs.
• The net loss from continuing operations for the quarter was $1.1 million compared to a net loss of $1.5 million in Q1 2024, mainly reflecting the savings in operating expenses.
• The net loss from discontinued operations increased $3.1 million or 442% to $3.8 million compared to Q1 2024, driven by expected credit loss provisions in the Brightpath mortgage business that was sold subsequent to period end.

"Our efforts to streamline operating expenses were evident this quarter as we saw a 25% reduction on a year over year basis" said Ken Thomson, CEO of Montfort.  "As our core business units continue to grow and we make ongoing refinements to our cost structure, we are positioning our platform for sustainable future growth."

CFO Transition

Montfort also announced the upcoming departure of Mr. Josh Reusing, Chief Financial Officer for the Company.  Mr. Reusing will be replaced by Mr. Sam Hall, effective June 20, 2025.

"We'd like to thank Josh for his efforts in the CFO role during a challenging transition period for the Company and wish him well in his future endeavours" said Ken Thomson, CEO of Montfort.  "We are also pleased to welcome Sam to the CFO position.  Already a trusted senior leader at Montfort, Sam will now play an increased role in guiding the overall growth of the Company."
