Rhea-AI Filing Summary
Sachem Capital Corp. reported a weak first quarter of 2026 while outlining a transformative merger strategy. For the quarter ended March 31, 2026, the company posted a net loss attributable to common shareholders of $7.2 million, or $0.15 per share, versus a loss of $0.2 million, or $0.00 per share, a year earlier.
Net interest income was $3.6 million compared with $3.7 million in 2025, with an effective loan yield of 13.5% and net interest margin of 3.9%. Results were heavily affected by a $5.4 million provision for credit losses, including a non‑cash $3.9 million charge tied to a Naples, Florida loan restructuring, and $1.6 million of transaction expenses.
Total assets reached $473.3 million and shareholders’ equity was $165.6 million. Book value per common share declined to $2.25 from $2.46, driven by the loss and $3.5 million of dividends. The company also highlighted a definitive contribution agreement with Industrial Realty Group, under which 98 industrial properties with gross real estate asset value of $2.9 billion plus Sachem’s approximately $470 million of assets are expected to form IRG Realty Trust, Inc. with an implied enterprise value of about $3.4 billion as a large industrial REIT.
Positive
- Transformational IRG contribution agreement: Industrial Realty Group will contribute 98 industrial properties with gross real estate asset value of $2.9 billion plus Sachem’s approximately $470 million of assets, creating IRG Realty Trust with an implied enterprise value of about $3.4 billion and positioning it among top industrial REITs by size.
Negative
- Large credit provisioning and non‑cash loss: Provision for credit losses rose to $5.4 million from $1.1 million, including a $3.9 million non‑cash discounted cash flow adjustment on a Naples, Florida loan restructuring, materially pressuring quarterly results.
- Meaningful net loss and book value decline: Net loss attributable to common shareholders reached $7.2 million, or $0.15 per share, and book value per common share fell to $2.25 from $2.46, reflecting credit charges, transaction expenses and dividends.
Insights
Quarter shows credit and deal costs pressure while a large IRG transaction reshapes the strategy.
Sachem’s quarter swung to a deeper loss, with $7.2 million attributable to common shareholders versus a small loss last year. The key driver was a sharply higher provision for credit losses of $5.4 million, including a $3.9 million non‑cash charge from a Naples loan restructuring treated like a deed in lieu.
Operating expenses also jumped to $5.7 million, reflecting $1.6 million of transaction costs tied to the Industrial Realty Group deal, plus higher compensation and general and administrative expenses. Book value per share fell from $2.46 to $2.25, highlighting the near‑term impact of credit and deal charges on equity.
Strategically, the contribution agreement with IRG is sizable: 98 industrial properties with gross real estate asset value of $2.9 billion plus Sachem’s approximately $470 million of assets are expected to create IRG Realty Trust with implied enterprise value of about $3.4 billion. Future disclosures around shareholder approval and closing conditions will clarify timing and execution of this repositioning.

6 terms
net interest margin financial
"The Company’s net interest margin was 3.9% for the first quarter, compared to 4.0% for the first quarter 2025."
Net interest margin measures how much a bank earns from lending and investing compared with what it pays for funding, expressed as a percentage of its interest-earning assets. Think of it like a grocery store’s markup: it shows the gap between buying cost and selling price per dollar of goods — here, the cost is interest paid and the sale is interest received. Investors watch it because a higher margin usually means a bank is more profitable and better at managing interest rate and credit conditions.
provision for credit losses financial
"Provision for credit losses related to loans held for investment was $5.4 million compared to $1.1 million in the first quarter of 2025."
Provision for credit losses is an amount set aside by a financial institution to cover potential future losses from borrowers who may not repay their loans. It acts like a safety net, helping the institution manage risks and stay financially healthy. For investors, it signals how cautious a lender is about potential loan defaults and can impact the company's profitability and financial stability.
Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT) financial
"The Company currently operates and qualifies as a Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT) for federal income tax purposes and intends to continue to qualify and operate as a REIT."
A real estate investment trust (REIT) is a company that owns, operates, or finances income-generating real estate like shopping malls, apartments, or office buildings. Investors buy shares of the REIT, making it easy for people to invest in real estate without buying property themselves, and it often pays regular dividends from the rent it collects.
enterprise value financial
"IRGT is expected to have an implied enterprise value of approximately $3.4 billion, positioning IRGT as a top‑10 publicly listed industrial REIT based on enterprise value."
Enterprise value is the total worth of a company, reflecting what it would cost to buy the entire business. It includes the company's market value plus any debts, minus its cash holdings, offering a comprehensive picture of its true value. Investors use it to compare companies regardless of their capital structures, helping them assess how much they would need to pay to acquire the business.
deed in lieu of foreclosure financial
"which is treated as a deed in lieu of foreclosure for accounting purposes."
A deed in lieu of foreclosure is a legal agreement where a borrower voluntarily transfers ownership of a property to the lender to avoid a formal foreclosure process. Think of it as handing over the keys instead of going to court; it can be quicker and cheaper for both sides but still means the lender absorbs the property and any loss in value, which matters to investors because it affects a lender’s asset quality, potential recovery rates and future cash flows.
contribution agreement financial
"entered into a definitive contribution agreement under which IRG will contribute 98 industrial assets"

Earnings Release - First Quarter 2026SACHEM CAPITAL REPORTS FIRST QUARTER 2026 RESULTS
BRANFORD, Conn., May 20, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Sachem Capital Corp. (NYSE American: SACH) (“Sachem” or the “Company”), a real estate lender specializing in originating, underwriting, funding, servicing, and managing a portfolio of loans secured by first mortgages on real property, today announced its financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2026.
John Villano, CPA, Sachem’s Chief Executive Officer, commented, “During the first quarter, we remained focused on disciplined capital and liquidity management, continuing the strategic priorities established last year. We made meaningful progress resolving legacy loan issues and protecting invested capital, positioning the Company for improved operating performance and future growth. Subsequent to quarter end, we announced a transformational combination transaction with Industrial Realty Group, which will add significant industrial property lease-driven revenue while enhancing our ability to deliver creative capital solutions to real estate investors. We believe this combination will add meaningful scale and diversification to our asset base, positioning the Company to generate consistent and attractive risk-adjusted returns for shareholders over time.”
Recent Development
Contribution Agreement with Industrial Realty Group Global, LLC
As previously announced, the Company and Industrial Realty Group (“IRG”), a private real estate development and investment firm specializing in the acquisition, development and management of commercial and industrial real estate throughout the United States, entered into a definitive contribution agreement under which IRG will contribute 98 industrial assets from its 200-asset portfolio owned by IRG and/or its partners to Sachem, and once completed, the combined company will operate as IRG Realty Trust, Inc. (“IRGT”).
Upon closing, IRGT is expected to own 98 industrial properties with gross real estate asset value of $2.9 billion plus Sachem’s approximately $470 million of total assets (as of March 31, 2026) in direct and indirect mortgage loans, investments in developmental and owned real estate, and other assets. IRGT is expected to have an implied enterprise value of approximately $3.4 billion,

Earnings Release - First Quarter 2026positioning IRGT as a top‑10 publicly listed industrial REIT based on enterprise value. IRGT will focus on mission‑critical industrial infrastructure supporting manufacturing and distribution users, and the assets not being contributed will continue to be owned and operated by IRG’s existing private business, Industrial Realty Group, LLC.
The transaction is designed to deliver an immediate and durable strategic reset for Sachem shareholders. This will be achieved by combining IRG’s high‑quality income-producing industrial real estate portfolio that is diversified geographically, by tenant and by industry, with sizable near‑term mark to-market opportunities, with Sachem’s established real estate capital solutions platform. The combination will result in a large industrial REIT with meaningful scale and multiple pathways for long-term growth.
For additional information on the Contribution Agreement, see the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on May 18, 2026.
Results of operations for the quarter ended March 31, 2026
Net interest income was $3.6 million compared to $3.7 million in the first quarter of 2025. The decrease compared to the first quarter 2025 was primarily due to $0.9 million increase in interest income from loans as the Company reduced nonperforming loans during the period offset by a $1.1 million reduction in interest income from limited liability investments as the Company continued to reduce its limited liability company investments. Utilizing the average performing loans held for investment balance for the quarter end of $270.9 million, the effective interest rate on loans held for investment was 13.5%. Comparatively, using the average performing loans held for investment balance for the prior year quarter of $275.1 million, the effective interest rate on loans held for investment was 11.5%.
The Company’s net interest margin was 3.9% for the first quarter, compared to 4.0% for the first quarter 2025. Net interest margin represents net interest income, calculated as interest income less interest expense, expressed as a percentage of average loans held for investment outstanding for the applicable period. The change in net interest margin reflects both structural and cyclical factors. Structurally, refinancing activity during 2025 increased the weighted average cost of capital. Cyclically, lower average earning assets reduced interest-earning balances.
Provision for credit losses related to loans held for investment was $5.4 million compared to $1.1 million in the first quarter of 2025. The change from the corresponding period in the prior year primarily relates to lower collateral valuations for loans previously reserved and a non-cash
2
Earnings Release - First Quarter 2026credit loss of $3.9 million related to a loan restructuring. This non-cash loss relates to the Naples, Florida loan restructuring where the Company took control of the three completed condominium units and entitled land for development of four additional condominium units which is treated as a deed in lieu of foreclosure for accounting purposes. The loan restructuring was executed with the intent to recover the full carrying value of the mortgage note receivable on an undiscounted cash flow basis. Due to the length of time between taking over the project and receipt of the final cash flows from sales of the units under construction, Sachem was required to record the assets received on a discounted cash flow basis. As a result, a $3.9 million charge was incurred in first quarter 2026. It is believed that the sales of the condominium units provides an opportunity to recover the fair value adjustment over time; however, actual recovery will depend on sales prices, timing, completion costs and market conditions.
Total other income was $1.4 million compared to $1.5 million in the same quarter last year, with underlying components shifting in composition rather than magnitude.
Total operating costs and expenses for the first quarter of 2026 were $5.7 million compared to $3.3 million in the same quarter last year. The primary change was related to a one time rise in expenses.
•Compensation and employee benefits were $2.1 million, compared to $1.8 million in the same quarter last year, reflecting strategic additions to personnel during 2025 and performance-based compensation including stock-based compensation as management continues to align staffing levels with portfolio scale and operational complexity.
•General and administrative expenses were $2.0 million, versus $1.4 million from the same quarter last year, primarily due to additional costs associated with investments in developmental real estate, real estate owned, increased external audit fees and increased director fees.
•Transaction expenses in the current year are associated with the contribution transaction with IRG mentioned above and as more particularly described in our recent SEC filings.
•Recovery of non-cash impairment loss on real estate totaled $0.1 million related to specific property-level valuation adjustments based on updated market data and revised liquidation timelines.
•Gain on sale of investments in developmental real estate, real estate owned and property and equipment, net was $0.2 million, reflecting gains realized on the disposition of select real estate assets and developmental projects driven by improved value creation execution relative to carrying value and successful asset repositioning, whereas the same quarter last year included more limited disposition activity.

Earnings Release - First Quarter 2026Net loss attributable to common shareholders for the first quarter of 2026 was $7.2 million, or $0.15 per common share, compared to net loss attributable to common shareholders of $0.2 million, or $0.00 per common share for the first quarter of 2025.
Balance Sheet
At quarter end, total assets were $473.3 million compared to $460.0 million as of December 31, 2025 and total liabilities were $307.7 million compared to $285.1 million as of December 31, 2025.
Total indebtedness at quarter end was $298.3 million. This includes $171.7 million of unsecured notes payable (net of $1.6 million of deferred financing costs), $96.7 million of senior secured notes payable (net of $3.3 million of deferred financing costs), $29.0 million outstanding on a $50.0 million revolving credit facility and $0.9 million of outstanding principal on a loan secured by a mortgage on the Company’s office building.
Total shareholders’ equity as of March 31, 2026 was $165.6 million compared to $174.9 million as of December 31, 2025.
Book value per common share
Book value per common share as of March 31, 2026, was $2.25, a decrease of $0.21 from book value per common share as of December 31, 2025 of $2.46. This change was primarily due to cash dividends declared and paid for the three months ended March 31, 2026 on issued and outstanding common shares and Series A Preferred Stock totaling $3.5 million, or $0.07 per common share, and net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2026 of $7.2 million, or $0.15 per common share.
This quarter's net loss impacting the book value per common share was materially driven by 1) the non-cash discounted cash flow fair value adjustment on loan restructuring recorded in provision for credit losses related to loans held for investment of $3.9 million, or $0.08 per common share, and 2) contribution transactional expenses of $1.6 million or $0.03 per common share. The aggregate impact of both events is $5.5 million, or $0.11 per common share of book value decline from year end.
