“We are pleased with the second quarter results which exceeded our quarterly dividend, even after taking another $1.0 million loan loss provision. Atrium now has an aggregate loan loss provision exceeding 1.0% of our mortgage portfolio which will help protect our balance sheet from the impact of COVID 19. The increase in our loan loss provision is consistent with the actions of the major Canadian and US banks.
In Q2, we also executed on our strategy to scale back lending in order to increase our liquidity and be in a position to cautiously resume lending as the real estate market emerges from the downturn. As a result, we expect that Q3 will be a more active quarter for new mortgages,” said Rob Goodall, CEO of Atrium.
