In a filing with the Bermuda Stock Exchange [BSX], LOM Financial Limited released their 2021 results.
The full filing stated:
LOM Financial Limited ["the Company"; ticker: LOM.BH] today announced the financial results for the fiscal year ending 31 December 2021. In a letter to shareholders, the Company’s CEO stated:
2021 Financial Results
LOM Financial is pleased to report full year 2021 profits of $9,510,119 or $1.84 per share. This increase over the $4,795,662 profits declared in 2020 is a result of an extraordinary $7.1 million realized gain on securities that the company owned. Pleasingly, our underlying profits before the extraordinary gains in 2020 and 2021 rose 19% year-on-year, from just shy of $2 million to $2.36 million. This is the important metric, as it is extremely unlikely that the extraordinary profits recorded in 2021 will reoccur this year.
Below are the highlights of LOM’s financial performance during 2021.
Revenues had the following year-on-year changes:
- Management and advisory fee revenues rose 29% to $7.164 million [29% of revenues].
- Broking fees rose 17 % to $7.506 million [31% of revenues].
- Net interest earnings fell 33% to $553,135 [2.2% of revenues].
- Foreign Exchange revenues rose 30% to $752,874 [3% of revenues].
