AFC Gamma, Inc. AFCG released its results for the quarter ended March 31, 2023, revealing net income of $10.0 million, a decrease of 1.3% compared to $10.2 million in Q1 2022, and distributable earnings of $11.6 million or $0.57 per basic weighted average common share, a decrease of 2.5% compared to $11.9 million or $0.62 per basic weighted average common share in Q1 2022.
“Since mid-2022, given the market and interest rate volatility, AFC Gamma has taken a conservative view to deploying and managing our capital. During the first quarter of 2023 we maintained an ample level of liquidity, which we believe will prove valuable in this environment as we look to capitalize on investment opportunities as they arise,” stated the company’s chairman and CEO, Leonard M. Tannenbaum.
