TORONTO, July 30, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Hampton Financial Corporation (“Hampton” or the “Company”, TSXV:HFC) today announced its financial results for the 3rd quarter ended May 31st, 2024.
Third Quarter fiscal highlights:

-

Summary of Corporate Developments:
The Company’s 3rd quarter results reflect the challenging environment that continues to weigh on issuer’s ability to finance growth which in turn still hampers corporate finance revenues.
While 2024 is showing some signs of improvement, the year ahead for Hampton’s core business remains unclear.
“The third quarter results continue to demonstrate the industry-wide slowdown that has extended into the first half of Calendar 2024. Capital Markets activities have started to improve as interest rates have stabilized, so we are hopeful for a stronger second half of the year. As we now see a direction in interest rates, we remain optimistic for the balance of the fiscal year.
After two post-consolidation months of business, we are very pleased with the Oxygen Working Capital acquisition and the culture they’ve created is very much in line with Hampton.
The integration of this new commercial lending unit into the broader Hampton group is complete and we look forward to a positive contribution to financial results moving forward. We also see this as an excellent opportunity to enhance our Capital Markets offerings with an additional funding offering for early and mid-stage companies”, said Hampton Executive Chairman & CEO Peter Deeb.
