Madison One. On June 5, 2024, the Company acquired Madison One Capital, M1 CUSO and Madison One Lender Services (together, “Madison One”), a leading originator and servicer of USDA and SBA guaranteed loan products, for an initial purchase price of approximately $32.9 million paid in cash (the “Madison One Acquisition”). Approximately $3.6 million of the initial purchase price was paid as bonuses to certain key Madison One personnel in cash. Additional purchase price payments, including cash payments and the issuance of shares of common stock of the Company, may be made over the four years following the acquisition date contingent upon the Madison One business achieving certain performance metrics. Part of the Company’s strategy in acquiring Madison One included the value of the anticipated synergies arising from the acquisition and the value of the acquired assembled workforce, neither of which qualify for recognition as an intangible asset. Refer to Notes 1 and 5, included in Part I, Item 1, “Financial Statements,” of this Form 10-Q, for more information about the Madison One Acquisition and the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as a result of the Madison One Acquisition.

YTD 2024 versus YTD 2023. Interest income of $63.7 million represented an increase of $27.0 million, primarily due to increases in interest rates and increased loan balances. Interest expense of $49.7 million represented an increase of $30.7 million, driven by increases in interest rates and increased debt balances. Recovery of loan losses of $0.2 million represented an increase of $3.7 million, due to changes in the forecasted macroeconomic inputs for reserve modeling and a decrease in specific loan reserves.

Ready Term Holdings, LLC (“Ready Term Holdings”) term loan due 2029. On April 12, 2024, Ready Term Holdings, an indirect subsidiary of the Company, entered into a credit agreement which provides for a delayed draw term loan to the Company in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $115.25 million (the “Term Loan”). The Term Loan is fully and unconditionally guaranteed by the Company and other direct or indirect subsidiaries of the Company from time to time that pledge collateral to secure the Term Loan (collectively, the “Term Loan Guarantors”).
Current report
The Term Loan matures on April 12, 2029, and may be drawn at any time on or prior to January 12, 2025, subject to the satisfaction of customary conditions.

The Term Loan bears interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof at a rate equal to (a) SOFR plus 5.50% per annum or (b) base rate plus 4.50% per annum; provided that if at any time the Term Loan is rated below investment grade, the interest rate shall increase to (x) SOFR plus 6.50% per annum or (y) base rate plus 5.50% per annum until the rating is no longer below investment grade. In connection with the entry into the credit agreement, the Company also agreed to pay certain upfront fees on the initial borrowing date. The Company will also pay, with respect to any unused portion of the Term Loan, a commitment fee of 1.00% per annum.
Current report
The Term Loan was issued pursuant to a credit agreement, which contains certain customary representations and warranties and affirmative and negative covenants and requirements relating to the collateral and our Company, Ready Term Holdings, and the Term Loan Guarantors, including maintenance of a minimum asset coverage ratio.

With respect to our business operations, increases in interest rates may generally over time cause the interest expense associated with our variable-rate borrowings to increase, the value of fixed-rate loans, MBS and other real estate-related

assets to decline, coupons on variable-rate loans and MBS to reset to higher interest rates, and prepayments on loans and MBS to slowdown. Conversely, decreases in interest rates generally tend to have the opposite effect.
Previous report
Non-performing loans are not as interest rate sensitive as performing loans, as earnings on non-performing loans are often generated from restructuring the assets through loss mitigation strategies and opportunistically disposing of them. Because non-performing loans are short-term assets, the discount rates used for valuation are based on short-term market interest rates, which may not move in tandem with long-term market interest rates.
Previous report
Changes in Fair Value of Our Assets**.** Certain originated loans, MBS, and servicing rights are carried at fair value, while future assets may also be carried at fair value. Accordingly, changes in the fair value of our assets may impact the results of our operations in the period such changes occur. The expectation of changes in real estate prices is a key determinant for the value of loans and ABS.
Previous report
Prepayment Speeds.* *Prepayment speeds on loans vary according to interest rates, the type of investment, conditions in the financial markets, competition, foreclosures and other factors that cannot be predicted with any certainty. In general, when interest rates rise, it is relatively less attractive for borrowers to refinance their mortgage loans and, as a result, prepayment speeds tend to decrease. This can extend the period over which we earn interest income and servicing fee income. When interest rates fall, prepayment speeds increase on loans, thereby decreasing the period over which we earn interest income or servicing fee income. Additionally, other factors such as the credit rating of the borrower, the rate of property value appreciation or depreciation, financial market conditions, foreclosures and lender competition, none of which can be predicted with any certainty, may affect prepayment speeds on loans.
Previous report
Credit Spreads.* *Our investment portfolio may be subject to changes in credit spreads. Credit spreads measure the yield demanded on loans and securities by the market based on their credit relative to a specific benchmark and is a measure of the perceived risk of the investment. Fixed rate loans and securities are valued based on a market credit spread over the rate payable on fixed rate swaps or fixed rate U.S. Treasuries of similar maturity. Floating rate securities are typically valued based on a market credit spread over SOFR (or another floating rate index) and are affected similarly by changes in SOFR spreads. Excessive supply of these loans and securities, or reduced demand, may cause the market to require a higher yield on these securities, resulting in the use of a higher, or “wider,” spread over the benchmark rate to value such assets. Under such conditions, the value of our portfolios would tend to decline. Conversely, if the spread used to value such assets were to decrease, or “tighten,” the value of our loans and securities would tend to increase. Such changes in the market value of these assets may affect our net equity, net income or cash flow directly through their impact on unrealized gains or losses.
Previous report
The spread between the yield on our assets and our funding costs is an important factor in the performance of this aspect of our business. Wider spreads imply greater income on new asset purchases but may have a negative impact on our stated book value. Wider spreads generally negatively impact asset prices. In an environment where spreads are widening, counterparties may require additional collateral to secure borrowings which may require us to reduce leverage by selling assets. Conversely, tighter spreads imply lower income on new asset purchases but may have a positive impact on our stated book value. Tighter spreads generally have a positive impact on asset prices. In this case, we may be able to reduce the amount of collateral required to secure borrowings.
Previous report
Loan and ABS Extension Risk.* *The Company estimates the projected weighted-average life of our investments based on assumptions regarding the rate at which the borrowers will prepay the underlying mortgages and/or the speed at which we are able to liquidate an asset. If the timeline to resolve non-performing assets extends, this could have a negative impact on our results of operations, as carrying costs may therefore be higher than initially anticipated. This situation may also cause the fair market value of our investment to decline if real estate values decline over the extended period. In extreme situations, we may be forced to sell assets to maintain adequate liquidity, which could cause us to incur losses.
Previous report
Credit Risk.* *We are subject to credit risk in connection with our investments in loans and ABS and other target assets we may acquire in the future. Increases in defaults and delinquencies will adversely impact our operating results, while declines in rates of default and delinquencies will improve our operating results from this aspect of our business. Default rates are influenced by a wide variety of factors, including, property performance, property management, supply and demand factors, construction trends, consumer behavior, regional economics, interest rates, the strength of the United States economy and other factors beyond our control. All loans are subject to the possibility of default. We seek to mitigate this inherent risk by seeking to acquire assets at appropriate prices given anticipated and unanticipated losses and by deploying a value-driven approach to underwriting and diligence, consistent with our historical investment strategy, with
Previous report
a focus on projected cash flows and potential risks to cash flow. We further mitigate our risk of potential losses while managing and servicing our loans by performing various workout and loss mitigation strategies with delinquent borrowers. Nevertheless, unanticipated credit losses could occur which could adversely impact operating results.

We expect that our results of operations will be affected by a number of factors and will primarily depend on the level of interest income from our assets, the market value of our assets and the supply of, and demand for, LMM loans, SBA loans, construction loans, MBS and other assets we may acquire in the future, demand for housing, population trends, construction costs, the availability of alternative real estate financing from other lenders and the financing and other costs associated with our business. These factors may have an impact on our ability to originate new loans or the performance of our existing loan portfolio. Our net investment income, which includes the amortization of purchase premiums and accretion of purchase discounts, varies primarily as a result of changes in market interest rates, the rate at which our distressed assets are liquidated and the prepayment speed of our performing assets. Interest rates and prepayment speeds vary according to the type of investment, conditions in the financial markets, competition and other factors, none of which can be predicted with any certainty. Our operating results may also be impacted by our available borrowing capacity, conditions in the financial markets, credit losses in excess of initial estimates or unanticipated credit events experienced by borrowers whose loans are held directly by us or are included in our MBS. Difficult market conditions as well as inflation, energy costs, geopolitical issues, health epidemics and outbreaks of contagious diseases, unemployment and the availability and cost of credit are factors which could also impact our operating results.

Changes in Market Interest Rates.* *We own and expect to acquire or originate fixed rate mortgages and floating rate mortgages with maturities ranging from two to 30 years. Our loans typically have amortization periods of 15 to 30 years or balloon payments due in two to 10 years. Fixed rate mortgage loans bear interest that is fixed for the term of the loan and we typically utilize derivative financial and hedging instruments in an effort to hedge the interest rate risk associated with such fixed rate mortgages. As of March 31, 2024, 73% of fixed rate loans are match funded in securitization. Floating rate mortgage loans generally have an adjustable interest rate equal to the sum of a fixed spread plus an index rate, such as the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”), which typically resets monthly. As of March 31, 2024, approximately 82% of the loans in our portfolio were floating rate mortgages, and 18% were fixed rate mortgages, based on UPB.

Non-interest income of $19.9 million represented a decrease of $1.3 million, primarily due to a decrease in employee tax credit consulting income and servicing income, partially offset by net realized gains on financial instruments. Non-interest expense of $17.3 million represented a decrease of $1.9 million, due to decreases in employee compensation and benefits.

We believe that providing investors with distributable earnings, formerly referred to as core earnings, gives investors greater transparency into the information used by management in our financial and operational decision-making, including the determination of dividends. Distributable earnings is a non-U.S. GAAP financial measure and because distributable earnings is an incomplete measure of our financial performance and involves differences from net income computed in accordance with U.S. GAAP, it should be considered along with, but not as an alternative to, our net income as a measure of our financial performance. In addition, because not all companies use identical calculations, our presentation of distributable earnings may not be comparable to other similarly-titled measures of other companies.
Current wording
Furthermore, we believe it is useful to present distributable earnings before realized losses on certain investments, such as charge-offs and losses realized on sales of real estate owned assets and LMM loans, to reflect our direct operating results. We utilize distributable earnings before realized losses as an additional performance metric to consider when assessing our ability to declare and pay dividends. Distributable earnings and distributable earnings before realized losses are non-U.S. GAAP financial measures and because these non-U.S. GAAP measures are incomplete measures of our financial performance and involve differences from net income computed in accordance with U.S. GAAP, they should be considered along with, but not as alternatives to, our net income as measures of our financial performance. In addition, because not all companies use identical calculations, our presentations of distributable earnings and distributable earnings before realized losses may not be comparable to other similarly-titled measures of other companies.

Consolidated distributable earnings of $54.0 million for the first quarter of 2024 represented an increase of $15.8 million from the first quarter of 2024.

If the estimated fair values of the assets increase due to changes in market interest rates or other market factors, lenders may release collateral back to us. Margin calls may result from a decline in the value of the investments securing the loan repurchase facilities and securities repurchase agreements, prepayments on the loans securing such investments and from changes in the estimated fair value of such investments generally due to principal reduction of such investments from scheduled amortization and resulting from changes in market interest rates and other market factors. Counterparties also may choose to increase haircuts based on credit evaluations of our Company and/or the performance of the assets in question. Historically, disruptions in the financial and credit markets have resulted in increased volatility in these levels, and this volatility could persist as market conditions continue to change. Should prepayment speeds on the mortgages underlying our investments or market interest rates suddenly increase, margin calls on the loan repurchase facilities and securities repurchase agreements could result, causing an adverse change in our liquidity position. To date, we have satisfied all of our margin calls and have never sold assets in response to any margin call under these borrowings.
