“Our 3rd Quarter results highlight the continued success of our core funding strategies and our commitment to delivering results for our shareholders,” said Yoel Damas, Chairman and President. “We believe these numbers would have been even stronger if not for Hurricane Helene, which impacted Florida—our largest funding market—in the last week of September, affecting our deal flow as the state dealt with the storm’s devastating effects. Despite these challenges, we are proud to announce that we met all our goals for the quarter and remain committed to supporting Floridians as they rebuild. Our thoughts and prayers are with all those affected by this horrific storm. We look forward to a strong finish to the year and continued growth as we move into the fourth quarter.”
