Manhattan Bridge Capital, Inc.
GREAT NECK, N.Y., April 16, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) —
Manhattan Bridge Capital, Inc. (Nasdaq: LOAN) (the “Company”) announced today that its net income for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was approximately $1,274,000, or $0.11 per share (based on approximately 11.4 million weighted-average outstanding common shares), compared to approximately $1,373,000, or $0.12 per share (based on approximately 11.4 million weighted-average outstanding common shares) for the same period in 2025, representing a decrease of $99,000, or 7.2%. The decrease was primarily attributable to lower revenue, partially offset by reduced interest expense, reflecting lower average borrowings under the Company’s credit facility and decreased prevailing SOFR rates.
Total revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2026 were approximately $2,068,000, compared to approximately $2,274,000 for the same period in 2025, representing a decrease of $206,000, or 9.1%. The decrease was primarily attributable to lower interest income, driven by a period-over-period decline in loans receivable, as well as lower origination fees reflecting reduced loan origination activity. For the three months ended March 31, 2026, approximately $1,699,000 of the Company’s revenue represents interest income on secured commercial loans that the Company offers to real estate investors, compared to approximately $1,834,000 for the same period in 2025, and approximately $368,000 and $440,000, respectively, represent origination fees on such loans. The loans are principally secured by collateral consisting of real estate and accompanied by personal guarantees from the principals of the borrowers.
As of March 31, 2026, total stockholders’ equity was approximately $43,106,000.
On November 20, 2025, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program authorizing the repurchase of up to 100,000 shares of its common stock over the following 12 months. As of March 31, 2026, the Company had repurchased an aggregate of 9,300 shares under the program at a total cost of approximately $42,000. This includes 3,100 shares repurchased during the first quarter of 2026 at an aggregate cost of approximately $14,000.
Assaf Ran, Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, stated, “During the first quarter of 2026, the real estate markets in our geographical areas felt a little stronger. Whether property values are trying to catch up with inflation, the lower interest rates (although many believe that they are still too high), or a shortage of inventory, we experienced an encouraging level of loan pay-offs and new deployments. However, it’s too early to determine what the impact of the war with Iran, if any, will be.”

The risk factors contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission identify important factors that could cause such differences.
