MCAN FINANCIAL GROUP REPORTS ANNUAL RESULTS AND DECLARES 5% INCREASE IN NEXT QUARTER'S CASH DIVIDEND

Net income steady despite interest rates dropping from prior year highs

TORONTO, Feb. 23, 2026 /CNW/ - MCAN Mortgage Corporation d/b/a MCAN Financial Group ("MCAN", the "Company" or "we") (TSX: MKP), a leading Canadian mortgage investment corporation, today announced its financial results for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2025. The results compared to the prior year periods mainly reflected significant growth in our assets under management slightly offset by the impact of lower net interest margin from a decline in interest rates. We also had higher income from our investment in MCAP and higher fair value on our securities partially offset by provisions for credit losses due to uncertainty in the forecasted economic and geopolitical environment.
