Macroeconomic Environment
Previous report
The three months ended March 31, 2024 have shown a mix of positive and challenging developments leading to continued volatility in global markets. Investor concerns over inflation, interest rates, slowing economic growth, political and regulatory uncertainty and geopolitical conditions have persisted. If inflation and other economic indicators do not meet central banks’ relevant expectations, interest rates could remain higher for longer than expected by market participants and observers, which could create further uncertainty for the economy and our borrowers.

As of March 31, 2024, 99.0% of borrowers, based on net loan exposure, were compliant with the contractual terms of each respective loan. We believe this demonstrates the overall strength of our loan portfolio and the commitment and financial wherewithal of our borrowers generally, which are primarily affiliated with large real estate private equity funds and other strong, well-capitalized, and experienced sponsors. As of March 31, 2024, one of our impaired loans with an amortized cost basis of $138.8 million was past its current maturity date. This loan was also more than 90 days past due on its interest payment and had a risk rating of “5.” Additionally, as of March 31, 2024, one other impaired loan with an amortized cost basis of $223.4 million was less than 30 days past due on its interest payment and had a risk rating of “5.”

We maintain a robust asset management relationship with our borrowers and utilize these relationships to maximize the performance of our portfolio, including during periods of volatility.

Our loan portfolio’s low weighted-average origination LTV is 63.4%, excluding any loans that are impaired and any junior participations sold, as of March 31, 2024. While we believe the principal amounts of our loans are generally adequately protected by underlying collateral value, there is a risk that we will not realize the entire principal value of certain investments. As of March 31, 2024, we had an aggregate $602.6 million asset-specific CECL reserve related to 17 of our loans receivable, with an aggregate amortized cost basis of $2.4 billion, net of cost-recovery proceeds. This CECL reserve was recorded based on our estimation of the fair value of each of the loan's underlying collateral as of March 31, 2024.

In addition to the risks related to fluctuations in cash flows and asset values associated with movements in interest rates, there is also the risk of non-performance on floating rate assets. In the case of a significant increase in interest rates, the cash flows of the collateral real estate assets may not be sufficient to pay debt service due under our loans, which may contribute to non-performance or, in severe cases, default. This risk is partially mitigated by our consideration of rising rate stress-testing during our underwriting process, which generally includes a requirement for our borrower to purchase an interest rate cap contract with an unaffiliated third party, provide an interest reserve deposit, and/or provide interest guarantees or other structural protections. As of March 31, 2024, 95% of our performing loans have interest rate caps, with a weighted-average strike price of 3.4%, or interest guarantees. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, interest rate caps on $4.2 billion of loans, with a 3.3% weighted-average strike price, expired and 95% were replaced with new interest rate caps, with a weighted-average strike price of 4.2%, or interest guarantees.
