Home Capital Group Reports Strong Q1 2021 Results Due to Higher NIM and PCL Release

Home Capital Group Inc. reported Q1 2021 net income of $64.5 million, a 17% quarter-over-quarter increase as growth in net interest income, lower non-interest expenses, and a release of provisions for credit losses were partly offset by lower securitization income. On balance sheet loans retracted 1% compared with the linked quarter as securitized loans were moved off balance sheet. Despite the decline in balances during the quarter, the net interest margin increased by six basis points, driven largely by margin improvements on non-securitized assets, reflecting the decrease in the average interest rate paid on deposits. Meanwhile, the efficiency ratio improved to 46% in Q1 2021 because of lower technology and Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) pandemic-related expenses.
