Distributable Earnings and Distributable Earnings Prior to Charge-Offs
Current report
Furthermore, we believe it is useful to present Distributable Earnings prior to charge-offs of CECL reserves to reflect our direct operating results and help existing and potential future holders of our class A common stock assess the performance of our business excluding such charge-offs. We utilize Distributable Earnings prior to charge-offs of CECL reserves as an additional performance metric to consider when declaring our dividends. Distributable Earnings mirrors the terms of our Management Agreement for purposes of calculating our incentive fee expense. Therefore, Distributable Earnings prior to charge-offs of CECL reserves is calculated net of the incentive fee expense that would have been recognized if such charge-offs had not occurred.

Current report
The $541.6 million increase in CECL reserves primarily relates to six additional loans that were impaired but not resolved during the year ended December 31, 2024, all of which were secured by office buildings. The office sector is generally facing reduced tenant and capital markets demand in recent years. These impairments are each determined individually as a result of changes in the specific credit quality factors for such loans. These factors included, among others, (i) the underlying collateral performance, (ii) discussions with the borrower, (iii) borrower events of default, and (iv) other facts that impact the borrower’s ability to pay the contractual amounts due under the terms of the loan. In addition, our general CECL reserves decreased primarily as a result of net loan repayments reducing the size of our portfolio during the year ended December 31, 2024.
Current report
Agency Multifamily Lending Partnership
Current report
In the second quarter of 2024, we entered into our Agency Multifamily Lending Partnership that allows our borrowers to access multifamily agency financing through MTRCC’s Fannie Mae DUS and Freddie Mac Optigo lending platforms. We will receive a portion of origination, servicing, and other fees for loans that we refer to MTRCC for origination under both the Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac programs. Additionally, we will share in losses with MTRCC and Fannie Mae on loans that we refer to MTRCC for origination under the Fannie Mae program. During the year ended December 31, 2024, we referred four loans to MTRCC that were originated and sold under the Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac programs, resulting in $1.1 million of revenue during the year ended December 31, 2024.

Current report
(7)Includes amounts outstanding under Term Loans and the senior secured notes due 2029. In connection with the issuance of the senior secured notes due 2029, we entered into an interest rate swap with a notional amount of $450.0 million to effectively convert our fixed rate exposure to floating rate exposure for such notes.
Current report
December 31, 2024 compared to the year ended December 31, 2023. This was offset by a decrease in the weighted-average principal balance of our outstanding financing arrangements by $2.0 billion for the year ended December 31, 2024 compared to the year ended December 31, 2023.
Current report
Revenue from real estate owned
Current report
Revenue from REO increased by $13.0 million during the year ended December 31, 2024 compared to the year ended December 31, 2023 due to seven REO assets being acquired during the year. There was no revenue from REO during the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022.

Gain on extinguishment of debt increased by $736,000 during the year ended December 31, 2024 compared to the year ended December 31, 2023. During the year ended December 31, 2024, we recognized an aggregate gain on extinguishment of debt of $5.4 million related to the repurchase of an aggregate principal amount of $33.8 million, $30.8 million, and $2.3 million, of our Convertible Notes, senior secured notes due 2027, or the October 2021 senior secured notes, and B-1 Term Loan, respectively.

Expenses
Current report
Expenses include management and incentive fees payable to our Manager, general and administrative expenses, expenses from real estate owned, and other expenses. Expenses decreased by $13.8 million during the year ended December 31, 2024 compared to the year ended December 31, 2023 primarily due to a decrease of $44.3 million of incentive fees payable to our Manager, driven primarily by charge-offs of CECL reserves. This was offset by $22.1 million of expenses of real estate owned, which relates to REO operations. We did not incur any expenses from REO during the year ended December 31, 2023. Additionally, other expenses increased by $5.7 million, which represents a contingent liability related to the sale of a loan. Lastly, general and administrative expenses increased by $2.8 million primarily due to (i) a $1.9 million increase in professional expenses, and (ii) a $1.2 million increase in non-cash restricted stock amortization related to shares awarded under our long-term incentive plans.
Current report
During the year ended December 31, 2024, we recorded a $538.8 million increase in our CECL reserves, as compared to a $249.8 million increase during the year ended December 31, 2023. These incremental CECL reserves primarily reflect a
Current report
$163.0 million increase in the specific reserves related to certain impaired loans in our portfolio, most of which were secured by office buildings. The office sector is generally facing reduced tenant and capital markets demand in recent years. These impairments are each determined individually as a result of changes in the specific credit quality factors for such loans. These factors included, among others, (i) the underlying collateral performance, (ii) discussions with the borrower, (iii) borrower events of default, and (iv) other facts that impact the borrower’s ability to pay the contractual amounts due under the terms of the loan. In addition, our general CECL reserves decreased primarily as a result of loan repayments reducing the size of our portfolio during the year ended December 31, 2024.
Current report
We may be required to record further increases to our CECL reserves in the future, depending on the performance of our portfolio and broader market conditions, and there may be volatility in the level of our CECL reserves. In particular, our loans secured by office buildings have experienced higher levels of CECL reserves and may continue to do so if market conditions relevant to office buildings do not improve. Any such reserve increases are difficult to predict, but are expected to be primarily the result of incremental loan impairments resulting from changes in the specific credit quality factors of such loans and to be concentrated in our loans receivable with a risk rating of “4” as of December 31, 2024.
Current report
Loss from unconsolidated entities
Current report
Loss from unconsolidated entities of $2.7 million represents our share of the start-up costs that were incurred related to our Net Lease Joint Venture. There was no income or loss from unconsolidated entities during the years ended December 31, 2023 or 2022.
Current report
The income tax provision decreased by $3.0 million during the year ended December 31, 2024 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2023, due to a decrease in the income tax provisions related to our taxable REIT subsidiaries.
Current report
Income from loans and other investments, net decreased $6.8 million during the three months ended December 31, 2024 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2024. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in the weighted-average principal balance of our loan portfolio by $1.6 billion during the three months ended December 31, 2024, as well as a decline in interest income related to two additional loans accounted for under the cost-recovery method effective September 30, 2024. This was offset by a decrease in the weighted-average principal balance of our outstanding financing arrangements by $1.1 billion for the three months ended December 31, 2024 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2024.

Recent Developments
Previous report
Macroeconomic Environment
Previous report
The year ended December 31, 2023 has been characterized by continued volatility in global markets, driven by investor concerns over inflation, rising interest rates, slowing economic growth, political and regulatory uncertainty and geopolitical conditions. Events affecting financial institutions during the year also contributed to volatility in global markets and diminished liquidity and credit availability.
Previous report
During 2023, inflation began to moderate as a result of the monetary policy tightening actions taken by central banks, including raising interest rates. While it is anticipated that central banks may begin to lower interest rates in 2024, interest rates may remain at or near recent highs, which creates further uncertainty for the economy and for our borrowers. Although our business model is such that higher interest rates will, all else equal, correlate to higher net income, interest rates remaining elevated for an extended period of time may adversely affect our existing borrowers and lead to non-performance, as higher costs may dampen consumer spending and slow corporate profit growth, which may negatively impact the collateral underlying certain of our loans. Additionally, higher interest rates could adversely affect commercial real estate property values. It remains difficult to predict the full impact of recent events and any future changes in interest rates or inflation.

Reference Rate Reform
Previous report
LIBOR and certain other floating rate benchmark indices have been the subject of national, international and regulatory guidance and proposals for reform or replacement. The Federal Reserve, in conjunction with the Alternative Reference
Previous report
Rates Committee, a steering committee composed of large U.S. financial institutions, identified SOFR, an index calculated using short-term repurchase agreements backed by U.S. Treasury securities, as its preferred alternative rate for USD LIBOR. As of December 31, 2023, all of our floating rate loans and related financings have transitioned to the applicable replacement benchmark rate, or reference a benchmark rate that is not expected to be replaced.
Previous report
Refer to “Part I. Item 1A. Risk Factors—Risks Related to Our Lending and Investment Activities—The transition away from reference rates and the use of alternative replacement reference rates may adversely affect net interest income related to our loans and investments or otherwise adversely affect our results of operations, cash flows and the market value of our investments.” of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Distributable Earnings is a non-GAAP measure, which we define as GAAP net income (loss), including realized gains and losses not otherwise recognized in current period GAAP net income (loss), and excluding (i) non-cash equity compensation expense, (ii) depreciation and amortization, (iii) unrealized gains (losses), and (iv) certain non-cash items. Distributable Earnings may also be adjusted from time to time to exclude one-time events pursuant to changes in GAAP and certain other non-cash charges as determined by our Manager, subject to approval by a majority of our independent directors. Distributable Earnings mirrors the terms of our management agreement between our Manager and us, or our Management Agreement, for purposes of calculating our incentive fee expense.
Current wording
Distributable Earnings and Distributable Earnings prior to charge-offs of CECL reserves are non-GAAP measures. We define Distributable Earnings as GAAP net income (loss), including realized gains and losses not otherwise recognized in current period GAAP net income (loss), and excluding (i) non-cash equity compensation expense, (ii) depreciation and amortization, (iii) unrealized gains (losses), and (iv) certain non-cash items. Distributable Earnings may also be adjusted from time to time to exclude one-time events pursuant to changes in GAAP and certain other non-cash charges as determined by our Manager, subject to approval by a majority of our independent directors. Distributable Earnings mirrors the terms of our management agreement between our Manager and us, or our Management Agreement, for purposes of calculating our incentive fee expense. Therefore, Distributable Earnings prior to charge-offs of CECL reserves is calculated net of the incentive fee expense that would have been recognized if such charge-offs had not occurred.

Distributable Earnings does not represent net income (loss) or cash generated from operating activities and should not be considered as an alternative to GAAP net income (loss), or an indication of our GAAP cash flows from operations, a measure of our liquidity, or an indication of funds available for our cash needs. In addition, our methodology for calculating Distributable Earnings may differ from the methodologies employed by other companies to calculate the same or similar supplemental performance measures, and accordingly, our reported Distributable Earnings may not be comparable to the Distributable Earnings reported by other companies.

As of December 31, 2023, 99.5% 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 December 31, 2023, we had one loan with an amortized cost basis of $140.0 million past its current maturity date.

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. We believe that we benefit from these relationships and from our long-standing core business model of originating senior loans collateralized by large assets in major markets with experienced, well-capitalized institutional sponsors. Our loan portfolio’s low weighted-average origination LTV of 63.6%, excluding any junior participations sold, as of December 31, 2023 reflects significant equity value that we expect our sponsors will be motivated to protect through periods of cyclical disruption. 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 December 31, 2023, we had an aggregate $417.7 million asset-specific CECL reserve related to 13 of our loans receivable, with an aggregate amortized cost basis of $1.9 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 December 31, 2023.
