Return of Capital to Shareholders

On January 15, 2020, the Company repurchased for cancellation 4,392,386 common shares at a purchase price of $34.15 per share totaling $150 million under its substantial issuer bid (“SIB”).  Effective February 25, 2020, Home Capital commenced a normal course issuer bid (“NCIB”) to permit the repurchase of common shares of Home Capital (“Common Shares”) through the facilities of the Toronto Stock Exchange, designated exchanges and alternative trading systems.  As of March 31, 2020, Home Capital had completed the repurchase of 655,547 Common Shares, at a cost of $17.0 million.  During the first quarter of 2020, the Company commenced the purchase of treasury shares for future settlement of obligations for share-based compensation. During the quarter, the Company purchased 517,880 Common Shares as treasury shares for $14.1 million.  Effective March 13, 2020, the Company has suspended the repurchase of Common Shares under the NCIB.

Outlook

Home Capital believes that the impact of COVID-19 on its operations will depend on the duration of lockdown conditions, the effectiveness of relief programs at mitigating the economic effects on our customers and the resulting impact on the markets for real estate and consumer credit. The allowance for expected credit losses (“ECL”) is sensitive to the inputs used in models, including macroeconomic variables in the forward-looking scenarios and their respective probability weightings as at the reporting date, among other factors. The Company’s ECL was determined as of March 31, 2020 based on forecasts and other information available at that date, as IFRS 9 does not permit the use of hindsight in measuring ECL. Since that date, forecasts around the impact of COVID-19 on the economy and the timing of recovery have continued to evolve. Any changes in forward-looking information subsequent to March 31, 2020 will be reflected in the measurement of ECL in future quarters as appropriate. This may add significant volatility to ECL.

“At Home Capital, our strength lies in our values and our sustainable risk culture,” said Mr. Bissada. “We will continue to be there for all our stakeholders, and we are confident that we have the resources and talent to meet this challenge.”

Caution Regarding Forward-looking Statements

From time to time Home Capital Group Inc. makes written and verbal forward-looking statements. These are included in the Annual Report, periodic reports to shareholders, regulatory filings, press releases, Company presentations and other Company communications. Forward-looking statements are made in connection with business objectives and targets, Company strategies, operations, anticipated financial results and the outlook for the Company, its industry, and the Canadian economy. These statements regarding expected future performance are “financial outlooks” within the meaning of National Instrument 51-102. Please see the risk factors, which are set forth in detail in the Risk Management section of the 2020 First Quarter Report, as well as the Company’s other publicly filed information, which is available on the System for Electronic Document Analysis and Retrieval (SEDAR) at www.sedar.com, for the material factors that could cause the Company’s actual results to differ materially from these statements. These risk factors are material risk factors a reader should consider, and include credit risk, liquidity and funding risk, structural interest rate risk, operational risk, investment risk, strategic risk, reputational risk, compliance risk and capital adequacy risk along with additional risk factors that may affect future results. Forward-looking statements can be found in the Report to the Shareholders and the Outlook section in the 2020 First Quarter Report. Forward-looking statements are typically identified by words such as “will,” “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “should,” “estimate,” “plan,” “forecast,” “may,” and “could” or other similar expressions.

By their very nature, these statements require the Company to make assumptions and are subject to inherent risks and uncertainty, general and specific, which may cause actual results to differ materially from the expectations expressed in the forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to the impacts of the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic and government responses to it, global capital market activity, changes in government monetary and economic policies, changes in interest rates, inflation levels and general economic conditions, legislative and regulatory developments, climate change, competition and technological change. The preceding list is not exhaustive of possible factors.

These and other factors should be considered carefully and readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. The Company presents forward-looking statements to assist shareholders in understanding the Company’s assumptions and expectations about the future that are relevant in management’s setting of performance goals, strategic priorities and outlook. The Company presents its outlook to assist shareholders in understanding management’s expectations on how the future will impact the financial performance of the Company. These forward-looking statements may not be appropriate for other purposes. The Company does not undertake to update any forward-looking statements, whether written or verbal, that may be made from time to time by it or on its behalf, except as required by securities laws.

Assumptions about the performance of the Canadian economy in 2020 and its effect on Home Capital’s business are material factors the Company considers when setting strategic priorities and outlook. In determining expectations for economic growth, both broadly and in the financial services sector, the Company primarily considers historical and forecasted economic data provided by the Canadian government and its agencies and other third-party providers. In setting and reviewing its strategic priorities and outlook for 2020, management made certain assumptions about the Canadian economy, employment conditions, interest rates, levels of housing activity, household debt service levels and the Company’s continued access to broker mortgage and deposit markets. These assumptions are discussed in greater detail in the Company’s 2019 Annual Report.

The global pandemic related to an outbreak of COVID-19 has cast uncertainty on each of these assumptions. There can be no assurance that they continue to be valid. Given the rapid pace of change, it is premature to make further assumptions about these matters. The full extent of the impact that COVID-19, including government and/or regulatory responses to the outbreak, will have on the Canadian economy and the Company’s business is highly uncertain and difficult to predict at this time. Please see the Risk Management section of the Company’s 2020 First Quarter Report for more information.

The Company expects, however, that the disruption in financial markets due to COVID-19 will likely result in an adverse impact on its business. The extent of such an impact will depend on the duration of the conditions related to the COVID-19 outbreak and related government actions adopted in response, including restrictions imposed to limit the spread of COVID-19 and policies adopted to mitigate the economic impact of COVID-19.

The Company recognizes that COVID-19 is creating unprecedented challenging circumstances. The Company also understands that as a community, everyone must work together to do everything possible to minimize the spread of COVID-19. As a result, the Company has taken measures to ensure that nearly all employees are able to work remotely and maintain normal business functions. The Company’s teams are fully operational and prepared to support borrower and depositor needs. The Company’s retail stores and satellite offices are temporarily closed and access to the Company’s head office in Toronto has been restricted. As of this date there have been no changes to the Company’s access to broker mortgage and deposit markets and the Company is continuing to originate and fund new mortgages as well as renew existing mortgages.

Non-GAAP Measures

The Company has adopted IFRS as its accounting framework. IFRS are the generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) for Canadian publicly accountable enterprises for years beginning on or after January 1, 2011. The Company uses a number of financial measures to assess its performance. Some of these measures are not calculated in accordance with GAAP, are not defined by GAAP, and do not have standardized meanings that would ensure consistency and comparability between companies using these measures. Definitions of non-GAAP measures can be found under Non-GAAP Measures in the Management’s Discussion and Analysis included in the Company’s 2020 First Quarter Report.

Regulatory Filings

The Company’s continuous disclosure materials, including interim filings, annual Management’s Discussion and Analysis and audited consolidated financial statements, Annual Information Form, Notice of Annual Meeting of Shareholders, and Proxy Circular are available on the Company’s website at www.homecapital.com and on the Canadian Securities Administrators’ website at www.sedar.com.
