$FFWM First Foundation reports Q3 adjusted EPS 4c, consensus (54c) Reports Q3 revenue $61.06M, consensus $60.67M. Q3 net interest margin was 1.50% from 1.36% in Q2 and 1.66% a year ago. Tangible book value per common share was $15.71 from $16.43 at previous quarter end. CEO Scott Kavanaugh said, "I am proud to share the tremendous work and success of our team throughout Q3 2024. We continue to make progress executing our strategic plan while taking advantage of the recent capital raise to pivot to an offensive approach as optimism builds in the current rate environment. Our recent decision to reclassify $1.9B of multifamily loans to loans held for sale underscores our commitment to fortify our balance sheet and embrace a more proactive stance. Despite the impact on our third-quarter earnings, we remain optimistic as the fair-value pricing for the multifamily portfolio surpassed initial estimates. Our focus remains on the continued trajectory of improvement to earnings and performance, positioning us for sustained growth and profitability."

$FFWM First Foundation announces reclassification of $1.9B of multifamily portfolio First Foundation announced the reclassification of a portion of its multifamily portfolio totaling $1.9B principal balance from loans held to maturity to loans held for sale. "Our decision to transfer these multifamily loans to held for sale marks an important next step in the Company's strategic roadmap to fortify the balance sheet and embrace a more offensive-minded posture," said Scott Kavanaugh, CEO. "We believe this move will position the Company for a return to its historical profitability and performance levels. Based on recent Southern California-focused multifamily transactions and renewed optimism for lower rates, we expect third quarter-end fair-value pricing to surpass 92% of the $1.9 billion principal balance. While the resulting write-down to fair value will meaningfully impact third-quarter earnings and will reduce our 'as converted' tangible book value per share, we expect the move to provide the flexibility needed to work with credit-minded counterparties in exploring a variety of options for securitizing or selling the loans and maximizing final execution pricing. Given the relatively short time to repricing for this pool of loans, which is between two and a half and three years, we expect final pricing to exceed currently estimated fair values." The Company also announced that, following its Special Meeting of Stockholders held on September 30, 2024, all of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company's Series B Noncumulative Convertible Preferred Stock issued by the Company on July 8, 2024 in connection with its previously announced capital raise automatically converted into an aggregate of 14,490,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Company as of the close of business on October 2, 2024.
