Advanced Flower Capital secures $40 million credit facility

Advanced Flower Capital Inc. (NASDAQ:AFCG), a Maryland-based real estate company with a market capitalization of $203 million, has entered into an unsecured revolving credit agreement, securing a $40 million credit facility. The agreement, effective as of Tuesday, was announced in a recent 8-K filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission. According to InvestingPro analysis, the company currently trades near its Fair Value and offers investors a substantial 14.2% dividend yield.

This new credit facility, arranged with AFC Finance, LLC, allows Advanced Flower Capital to borrow, repay, and redraw funds under the terms outlined in the agreement. AFC Finance, LLC is a wholly owned entity of Leonard M. Tannenbaum, who is the Chairman of Advanced Flower Capital's Board of Directors.

Under the terms of the credit agreement, the credit facility carries an interest rate of 8.00% per annum. The facility is set to mature on December 31, 2025, or upon the closing of any refinancing indebtedness that equals or exceeds $40 million, whichever occurs first.

The credit agreement stipulates that the facility is unsecured, which implies that it is not backed by any collateral. This type of financing can be indicative of lenders' confidence in the company's creditworthiness and financial stability.

InvestingPro data supports this confidence, showing the company maintains a healthy current ratio of 5.09, meaning its liquid assets significantly exceed short-term obligations. Two additional InvestingPro Tips highlight the company's financial strength.

In other recent news, Advanced Flower Capital reported robust third-quarter financial results, surpassing its annual target with $116 million in loan originations and reporting distributable earnings of $0.35 per share. The company completed the spin-off of its commercial real estate portfolio and continued its financial activities by funding a $41 million senior secured credit facility to a new borrower. Compass Point adjusted their outlook on AFC's shares, increasing the price target to $10.00, reflecting the company's potential for earnings growth.

TD Cowen reaffirmed its Buy rating on AFC, maintaining a $14.00 price target for the stock, despite lower-than-expected revenue and operating profit. The firm's stance reflects a belief in the company's strategic position and potential for growth.

Advanced Flower Capital's management has expressed cautious optimism about the cannabis market, focusing on quality investments and maintaining growth. The company raised $12.2 million through an ATM stock offering and announced a post-spin dividend of $0.33 per share, aligning with its policy to distribute 85% to 100% of distributable earnings. AFC's active pipeline of potential deals exceeds $400 million, indicating robust future prospects.
