Note 1 - Organization and Business Operations

Franklin BSP Realty Trust, Inc., (the "Company") is a real estate finance company that primarily originates, acquires and manages a diversified portfolio of commercial real estate debt investments secured by properties located within and outside the United States. The Company is a Maryland corporation and has made tax elections to be treated as a real estate investment trust (a "REIT") for U.S. federal income tax purposes since 2013.

The Company believes that it has qualified as a REIT and intends to continue to meet the requirements for qualification and taxation as a REIT. As of June 30, 2025, substantially all of the Company's business is conducted through Benefit Street Partners Realty Operating Partnership, L.P. (the “OP”), a Delaware limited partnership. As of June 30, 2025, the Company is the sole general partner and directly or indirectly holds all of the units of limited partner interests in the OP. In addition, the Company, through one or more subsidiaries which are treated as a taxable REIT subsidiary (a “TRS”), is indirectly subject to U.S. federal, state and local income taxes.

As of June 30, 2025, the Company hasno employees. Benefit Street Partners L.L.C. serves as the Company's advisor (the "Advisor") pursuant to an advisory agreement, as amended on August 18, 2021 (the "Advisory Agreement"). The Advisor, an investment adviser registered with the SEC, is a credit-focused alternative asset management firm.

Established in 2008, the Advisor's credit platform manages funds for institutions and high-net-worth investors across various credit funds and complementary strategies including high yield, levered loans, private/opportunistic debt, liquid credit, structured credit and commercial real estate debt. These strategies complement each other as they all leverage the sourcing, analytical, compliance, and operational capabilities that encompass the platform. The Advisor manages the Company's affairs on a day-to-day basis. The Advisor receives compensation fees and reimbursements for services related to the investment and management of the Company's assets and the operations of the Company. The Advisor is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Franklin Resources, Inc., which together with its various subsidiaries operates as "Franklin Templeton.”

The Company primarily focuses on originating, acquiring and asset managing commercial real estate debt investments, including first mortgage loans, subordinated mortgage loans, mezzanine loans and participations in such loans. Secondarily, the Company's real estate securities business focuses on investing in and asset managing real estate securities. Historically this business has focused primarily on commercial mortgage-backed securities ("CMBS"), commercial real estate collateralized loan obligation bonds and single asset single borrower bonds (collectively "CMBS bonds"), collateralized debt obligations ("CDOs") and other securities. The Company also originates conduit loans which the Company intends to sell through its TRS into CMBS securitization transactions. The Company also owns real estate that was either acquired by the Company through foreclosure, deed-in-lieu of foreclosure or that was purchased for investment.

Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Accounting

The Company's unaudited consolidated financial statements and related footnotes have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") for interim financial statements and pursuant to the requirements for reporting on Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X, as appropriate.

These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto as of, and for the year ended December 31, 2024, which are included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on February 26, 2025, as certain disclosures that would substantially duplicate those contained in the audited consolidated financial statements have not been included in this report.

Reclassifications

Certain prior year balances have been reclassified in order to conform to the current period presentation.

For the six months ended June 30, 2024, $115.7 million of Borrowings on repurchase agreements - real estate securitiesand $46.1 million of Repayments of repurchase agreements - real estate securities were combined to be presented as a net result in Net borrowings (paydowns) on repurchase agreements - real estate securities, less than 90 days maturity in the consolidated statements of cash flows.

Use of Estimates

GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reported periods. Changes in the economic environment, financial markets and any other parameters used in determining these estimates could cause actual results to differ materially. In the opinion of management, the interim data includes all adjustments, of a normal and recurring nature, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the periods presented. The current period’s results of operations will not necessarily be indicative of results that ultimately may be achieved for the entire year or any subsequent interim periods.

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, the OP and its subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. In determining whether the Company has a controlling financial interest in a joint venture and the requirement to consolidate the accounts of that entity, management considers factors such as ownership interest, authority to make decisions and contractual and substantive participating rights of the other partners or members, as well as whether the entity is a variable interest entity ("VIE") for which the Company is the primary beneficiary.

The Company has determined the OP is a VIE of which the Company is the primary beneficiary. Substantially all of the Company's assets and liabilities are held by the OP.

The Company consolidates all entities that it controls through either majority ownership or voting rights. In addition, the Company consolidates all VIEs of which the Company is considered the primary beneficiary. VIEs are entities in which equity investors (i) do not have the characteristics of a controlling financial interest and/or (ii) do not have sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties. The entity that consolidates a VIE is its primary beneficiary and is generally the entity with (i) the power to direct the activities that most significantly affect the VIE’s economic performance and (ii) the right to receive benefits from the VIE or the obligation to absorb losses of the VIE that could be significant to the VIE. Non-controlling interest represents the equity of consolidated joint ventures that are not owned by the Company.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of collateralized loan obligations ("CLOs") issued and securitized by wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company. The Company has determined the CLOs are VIEs of which the Company's subsidiary is the primary beneficiary. The assets and liabilities of the CLOs are consolidated in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 810, Consolidation.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash consists of amounts deposited with high quality financial institutions. These deposits are guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Company up to an insurance limit. Cash equivalents include short-term, liquid investments in money market funds with original maturities of 90 days or less when purchased. Cash and cash equivalent balances may, at a limited number of banks and financial institutions, exceed insurable amounts. The Company believes it mitigates risk by investing in or through major financial institutions and primarily in funds that are currently U.S. federal government insured up to applicable account limits.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09 “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures,” or ASU 2023-09. ASU 2023-09 requires additional disaggregated disclosures on the entity’s effective tax rate reconciliation and additional details on income taxes paid. ASU 2023-09 is effective on a prospective basis, with the option for retrospective application, for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024 and early adoption is permitted. We do not expect the adoption of ASU 2023-09 to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In March 2024, the FASB issued ASU, 2024-01 “Compensation — Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope Application of Profits Interest and Similar Awards,” or ASU 2024-01. ASU 2024-01 improves clarity and operability without changing the guidance. ASU 2024-01 is effective on a prospective basis, with the option for retrospective application, for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024 and early adoption is permitted. We do not expect the adoption of ASU 2024-01 to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In March 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-02 “Codification Improvements — Amendments to Remove References to the Concepts Statements,” or ASU 2024-02. ASU 2024-02 amended certain definitions in the FASB guidance. ASU 2024-02 is effective on a prospective basis, with the option for retrospective application, for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024 and early adoption is permitted. We do not expect the adoption of ASU 2024-02 to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Specific Allowance for Credit Losses

The Company has elected to apply a practical expedient for collateral dependent assets in which the allowance for credit losses is calculated as the difference between the estimated fair value of the underlying collateral, less estimated cost to sell, and the amortized cost basis of the loan. As such, these loans receivable are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis using significant unobservable inputs and are classified as Level 3 assets in the fair value hierarchy. The fair value of the underlying collateral is determined using the market approach, the income approach, or a combination thereof. The significant unobservable input used for the income approach is the exit capitalization rate assumptions, which was 9.00%. The significant unobservable input used for the market approach is the estimated fair value less cost to sell based on a negotiated price from an anticipated buyer.

In November 2021, the Company originated a first mortgage loan with a commitment of $66.7 million secured by a multifamily property in Texas. The loan was identified by management as non-performing and placed on cost recovery status, with an amortized cost of $66.7 million as of December 31, 2024. The Company recorded a specific allowance for credit losses of $3.2 million on this loan for the year ended December 31, 2024.

General Allowance for Credit Losses

The Company recorded a total decrease in its general allowance for credit losses during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 of $2.6 million and $4.2 million, respectively.

Note 12 - Fair Value of Financial Instruments

GAAP establishes a hierarchy of valuation techniques based on the observability of inputs used in measuring financial instruments at fair values. GAAP establishes market-based or observable inputs as the preferred source of values, followed by valuation models using management assumptions in the absence of market inputs. The three levels of the hierarchy are described below:

Level I - Inputs are unadjusted, quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date.

Level II - Inputs (other than quoted prices included in Level I) are either directly or indirectly observable for the asset or liability through correlation with market data at the measurement date and for the duration of the instrument’s anticipated life.

Level III - Unobservable inputs that reflect the entity's own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in the pricing of the asset or liability and are consequently not based on market activity, but rather through particular valuation techniques.

The determination of where an asset or liability falls in the above hierarchy requires significant judgment and factors specific to the asset or liability. In instances where the determination of the fair value measurement is based on inputs from different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the entire fair value measurement falls is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The Company evaluates its hierarchy disclosures each quarter and depending on various factors, it is possible that an asset or liability may be classified differently from quarter to quarter.

The Company has implemented valuation control processes to validate the fair value of the Company's financial instruments measured at fair value including those derived from pricing models. These control processes are designed to assure that the values used for financial reporting are based on observable inputs wherever possible. In the event that observable inputs are not available, the control processes are designed to assure that the valuation approach utilized is appropriate and consistently applied and the assumptions are reasonable.

Financial Instruments Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

CMBS bonds, recorded in Real estate securities, available for sale, measured at fair value in the consolidated balance sheets are valued utilizing both observable and unobservable market inputs. These factors include projected future cash flows, ratings, subordination levels, vintage, remaining lives, credit issues, and recent trades of similar real estate securities. Depending upon the significance of the fair value inputs used in determining these fair values, these real estate securities are classified in either Level II or Level III of the fair value hierarchy. The Company obtains third party pricing for determining the fair value of each CMBS investment, resulting in a Level II classification.

Commercial mortgage loans, held for sale, measured at fair value in the Company's TRS are initially recorded at transaction price, which are considered to be the best initial estimate of fair value. The Company engages the services of a third party independent valuation firm to determine fair value of certain investments held by the Company. Fair value is determined using a discounted cash flow model that primarily considers changes in interest rates and credit spreads, weighted average life and current performance of the underlying collateral. Commercial mortgage loans held for sale, measured at fair value that are originated in the last month of the reporting period are held and marked to the transaction price. The Company classified the commercial mortgage, loans held for sale, measured at fair value as Level III.

Other real estate investments, measured at fair value on the consolidated balance sheets are valued using unobservable inputs. The Company engaged the services of a third party independent valuation firm to determine fair value of certain investments, including preferred equity investments, held by the Company. Fair value is determined using a discounted cash flow model that primarily considers changes in interest rates and credit spreads, weighted average life and current performance of the underlying collateral. The Company generally classifies its other real estate investments, measured at fair value as Level III.

Derivative instruments, measured at fair value

Treasury note futures trade on the Chicago Board of Trade (“CBOT”) and are made up of contracts of a variety of recently issued 5-year and 10-year U.S. Treasury notes. The future contracts are liquid and are centrally cleared through the CBOT and are valued using market prices. Treasury note futures are categorized as Level I.

Credit default swaps, interest rate swaps and options can be traded over the counter (“OTC”) or on an exchange. Exchange-traded derivatives are generally valued using market prices while OTC derivative transaction valuations are derived using pricing models that are widely accepted by marketplace participants. The pricing models take into account multiple inputs including specific contract terms, interest rate yield curves, interest rates, credit curves, recovery rates, and/or current credit spreads obtained from counterparties and other market participants. Most inputs into the models are not subjective as they are observable in the marketplace or set per the contract. The valuation is primarily determined by the difference between the contract spread and the current market spread. The contract spread (or rate) is generally fixed and the market spread is determined by the credit risk of the underlying debt or reference entity. If the underlying indices are liquid and the OTC market for the current spread is active, the derivatives are categorized in Level II of the fair value hierarchy. If the underlying indices are illiquid and the OTC market for the current spread is not active, the derivatives are categorized in Level III of the fair value hierarchy. The Company's option contracts are exchange-traded, and therefore categorized as Level I. The Company classified its credit default swaps as Level II.

A review of the fair value hierarchy classification is conducted on a quarterly basis. Changes in the type of inputs may result in a reclassification for certain assets or liabilities. The Company's policy with respect to transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy is to recognize transfers into and out of each level as of the beginning of the reporting period. There were no material transfers between levels within the fair value hierarchy during the periods ended June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

The following table presents the Company's financial instruments carried at fair value on a recurring basis in the consolidated balance sheets by its level in the fair value hierarchy as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 (dollars in thousands).

(1) In determining certain inputs, the Company evaluates a variety of factors including economic conditions, industry and market developments, market valuations of comparable companies and company specific developments including exit strategies and realization opportunities. The Company has determined that market participants would take these inputs into account when valuing the investments.

Increases or decreases in any of the above unobservable inputs in isolation would result in a lower or higher fair value measurement for such assets. The following table presents additional information about the Company’s financial instruments which are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 for which the Company has used Level III inputs to determine fair value (dollars in thousands):

The fair value of cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash are measured using observable quoted market prices, or Level I inputs and their carrying value approximate their fair value. The fair value of borrowings under repurchase agreements approximate their carrying value on the consolidated balance sheets due to their short-term nature and are measured using Level III inputs.

Financial Instruments Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis

Real Estate Owned, held for sale, on the consolidated balance sheets are valued at fair value on a non-recurring basis in accordance with ASC 820 and are classified as Level III investments. At the time of acquisition, we determined the fair value of the net real estate assets, using either the market approach, the income approach, or a combination thereof.

The Company determined the fair value of itssix multifamily properties, one office property and the remaining three retail properties in the Walgreens Portfolio, obtained through foreclosure or deed-in-lieu of foreclosure, based on a combination of the market approach and the income approach.

The significant unobservable input used for the income approach is the exit capitalization rate assumptions, which ranged from 5.00% -9.50%. The significant unobservable input used for the market approach is the estimated fair value less cost to sell based on a negotiated price from an anticipated buyer.

As of June 30, 2025, the Company's Real estate owned, held for sale assets and liabilities, had a fair value of $219.5 million, net, that represented the remaining three retail properties in the Walgreens Portfolio, six multifamily properties andone office property. As of December 31, 2024, the Company's real estate owned, held for sale assets and liabilities, had a fair value of $221.6 million, net, representing the remaining four retail properties in the Walgreens Portfolio and eight multifamily properties.

Financial Instruments Not Measured at Fair Value

The Company's financial assets and liabilities that are not reported at fair value in the consolidated balance sheets are reported below as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 (dollars in thousands):

(1) The carrying value is gross of $43.2 million and $78.1 million of allowance for credit losses as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.

(2) Depending upon the significance of the fair value inputs utilized in determining these fair values, our collateralized loan obligations are classified as either Level II or Level III of the fair value hierarchy.

Repurchase agreements - commercial mortgage loans of $573.1 million and $329.8 million as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, and repurchase agreements - real estate securities of $128.9 million and $236.6 million as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, are not carried at fair value and do not include accrued interest expense, which are presented in Note 7 – Debt. For these instruments, carrying value generally approximates fair value and are classified as Level III.

The fair value of the commercial mortgage loans, held for investment is estimated using a discounted cash flow analysis, based on the Advisor's experience with similar types of investments. The Company estimates the fair value of the collateralized loan obligations using external broker quotes. The mortgage note payable was recorded at transaction proceeds, which are considered to be the best initial estimate of fair value. The fair value of the other financings is generally estimated using a discounted cash flow analysis. The fair value of the unsecured debt is based on discounted cash flows using Company estimates for market yields on similarly structured debt instruments.

Note 13 - Derivative Instruments

The Company uses derivative instruments primarily to manage the fair value variability of fixed rate assets caused by interest rate fluctuations and overall portfolio market risk. The following derivative instruments were outstanding as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 (dollars in thousands):

Interest rate swap agreements are measured at fair value on a recurring basis primarily using Level II Inputs in accordance with ASU 2010-06, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820). In determining fair value estimates for swaps, the Company utilizes the standard methodology of netting the discounted future fixed cash payments and the discounted future variable cash receipts which are based on expected future interest rates derived from observable market interest rate curves. The Company also incorporates both its own nonperformance risk and its counterparties’ nonperformance risk in determining fair value. In considering the effect of nonperformance risk, the Company considered the impact of netting and credit enhancements, such as collateral postings and guarantees, and has concluded that counterparty risk is not significant to the overall valuation.

Note 14 - Offsetting Assets and Liabilities

The Company's consolidated balance sheets used a gross presentation of repurchase agreements and collateral pledged. The table below provides a gross presentation, the effects of offsetting, and a net presentation of the Company's derivative instruments and repurchase agreements as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 (dollars in thousands):

Note 15 - Segment Reporting

The Company conducts its business through the following segments:

The real estate debt business focuses on originating, acquiring and asset managing commercial real estate debt investments, including first mortgages, subordinate mortgages, mezzanine loans and participations in such loans.

The real estate securities business focuses on investing in and asset managing real estate securities. Historically this business has focused primarily on CMBS, CMBS bonds, CDO notes, and other securities.

The commercial real estate conduit business, operated through the Company's TRS, is focused on generating risk-adjusted returns by originating and subsequently selling fixed-rate commercial real estate loans into the CMBS securitization market at a profit. The TRS may also hold certain mezzanine loans that don't qualify as good REIT assets due to any potential loss from foreclosure.

The real estate owned business represents real estate acquired by the Company through foreclosure, deed-in-lieu of foreclosure, or purchase.

The segments are based on financial information presented to the President of Commercial Real Estate and the Chief Financial Officer / Chief Operating Officer of the Company, who are determined to jointly be the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”). The CODM oversees activities and operations of the business, which includes assessing performance, liquidity, and profit or loss on each operating segment. Profit or loss on segment operations is measured by net income/(loss) included in the consolidated statements of operations. The CODM uses net income/(loss) to measure return on equity to assess the liquidity associated with equity that is allocated to each business based on the Company’s investment objectives and strategies.

The following table represents the Company's operations by segment for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 (dollars in thousands):
