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.

We are a multi-strategy real estate finance company that originates, acquires, finances, and services LMM loans, SBA loans, construction loans and, to a lesser extent, MBS collateralized primarily by LMM loans, or other real estate-related investments. Our loans generally range in original principal amounts up to $40 million and are used by businesses to purchase real estate used in their operations or by investors seeking to acquire multi-family, office, retail, mixed use or warehouse properties. Our objective is to provide attractive risk-adjusted returns to our stockholders primarily through dividends, as well as through capital appreciation. In order to achieve this objective, we continue to grow our investment portfolio and believe that the breadth of our full-service real estate finance platform will allow us to adapt to market conditions and deploy capital in our asset classes and segments with the most attractive risk-adjusted returns.

Broadmark. On May 31, 2023, the Company, Broadmark Realty Capital Inc., a Maryland corporation (“Broadmark”), and RCC Merger Sub, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a wholly owned subsidiary of the operating partnership (“RCC Merger Sub”), completed a merger (such transaction, the “Broadmark Merger”) in which Broadmark merged with and into RCC Merger Sub, with RCC Merger Sub remaining as a wholly owned subsidiary of the operating partnership. As a result of the Broadmark Merger, the number of directors on the Company's board of directors (the “Board”) increased by three members, from nine to twelve, with the three additional directors each having served on the board of directors of Broadmark immediately prior to the effective time of the Broadmark Merger. The Broadmark Merger further diversified our business by expanding on our residential and commercial construction lending platforms.

Previous wording

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 and fair value of our assets and the supply of, and demand for, LMM loans, SBA loans, USDA 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, changes in credit spreads, 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

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 June 30, 2024, all 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 June 30, 2024, approximately 82% of the loans in our portfolio were floating rate mortgages, and 18% were fixed rate mortgages, based on UPB.

As a real estate finance company, we believe the key financial measures and indicators for our business are earnings per share, dividends declared per share, distributable earnings, return on equity, and net book value per share. As further described below, distributable earnings is a measure that is not prepared in accordance with GAAP. We use distributable earnings to evaluate our performance and determine dividends, excluding the effects of certain transactions and GAAP adjustments that we believe are not necessarily indicative of our current loan activity and operations.

In addition, in calculating distributable earnings, net income (in accordance with GAAP) is adjusted to exclude unrealized gains or losses on residential MSRs, held at fair value from discontinued operations.

In calculating distributable earnings, we do not adjust net income (in accordance with GAAP) to take into account unrealized gains and losses on MBS retained by us as part of our loan origination businesses because we consider the unrealized gains and losses that are generated in the loan origination and securitization process to be a fundamental part of this business and an indicator of the ongoing performance and credit quality of our historical loan originations.

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.

To qualify as a REIT, we must distribute to our stockholders each calendar year dividends equal to at least 90% of our REIT taxable income (including certain items of non-cash income), determined without regard to the deduction for dividends paid and excluding net capital gain.

These differences may result in certain items that are recognized in the current period’s calculation of distributable earnings not being included in taxable income, and thus not subject to the REIT dividend distribution requirement, until future years.
