Current report
The last several quarters have been marked by significant volatility in global markets, driven by inflation, elevated interest rates, slowing economic growth, trade tensions, geopolitical conditions, and political and regulatory uncertainty. These conditions have adversely impacted, and may continue to adversely impact, the U.S. and global economies, the real estate industry and our borrowers, and the performance of the properties securing our loans. Collectively, these market dynamics pose challenges to commercial real estate values and transaction activity, which have resulted in lower demand for office space and elevated levels of vacancy and default rates.
Current report
(B) Including deferred financing costs and applicable index in effect as of September 30, 2024. Average weighted by the outstanding principal of the facility.
Current report
Total other income increased by $2.8 million during the three months ended September 30, 2024, as compared to the preceding period. This increase was primarily due to a $2.8 million increase in revenue from REO operations, resulting from $5.3 million of insurance proceeds received in July 2024, partially offset by a decrease in rental income after a property sale in June 2024.
Current report
Total operating expenses decreased by $43.7 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2024, as compared to the prior year period. This decrease was primarily due to a $49.6 million change in the provision for credit losses. The provision for credit losses during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was due primarily to additional reserves for risk-rated 5 loans, primarily in the office and life science sectors.

Previous report
With respect to the COVID-19 pandemic, while the global economy has re-opened, the longer-term macro-economic effects of the pandemic continue to impact many industries, including those of certain of our borrowers. In particular, the increase in remote working arrangements in response to the pandemic has contributed to a decline in commercial real estate values and reduced demand for commercial real estate compared to pre-pandemic levels, which have adversely impacted and may continue to adversely impact certain of our borrowers and has persisted even as the pandemic continues to subside.

Reworded paragraphs (70)
Previous wording
The year ended December 31, 2023 and period ended June 30, 2024 were impacted by significant volatility in global markets, largely driven by rising inflation, rising interest rates, slowing economic growth, geopolitical uncertainty and instability in the banking sector following multiple bank failures. Central banks have responded to rapidly rising inflation with monetary policy tightening actions that are likely to create headwinds to economic growth. The Federal Reserve has raised interest rates eleven times since January 2022. Although our business model is such that rising interest rates will generally correlate to increases in our net income, increases in interest rates may adversely affect our existing borrowers. Higher interest rates imposed by the Federal Reserve to address inflation may adversely impact real estate asset values and increase our interest expense, which expense may not be fully offset by any resulting increase in interest income, and may lead to decreased prepayments from our borrowers and an increase in the number of our borrowers who exercise extension options.
Current wording
Although the Federal Reserve lowered interest rates by 50 basis points on September 18, 2024, interest rates remain elevated and the timing, direction and extent of any future interest rate changes remain uncertain. Although higher interest rates will generally correlate to increases in our net income, increases in interest rates may adversely affect our existing borrowers and the cost of financing their properties and lead to nonperformance. Higher interest rates may also adversely impact real estate asset values and increase our interest expense, which expense may not be fully offset by any resulting increase in interest income.

Each of our existing master repurchase facilities includes "credit mark-to-market" features. "Credit mark-to-market" provisions in repurchase facilities are designed to keep the lenders' credit exposure generally constant as a percentage of the underlying collateral value of the assets pledged as security to them. If the credit underlying collateral value decreases, the gross amount of leverage available to us will be reduced as our assets are marked-to-market, which would reduce our liquidity. The lender under the applicable repurchase facility sets the valuation and any revaluation of the collateral assets in its sole, good faith discretion. As a contractual matter, the lender has the right to reset the value of the assets at any time based on then-current market conditions, but the market convention is to reassess valuations on a monthly, quarterly and annual basis using the financial information delivered pursuant to the facility documentation regarding the real property, borrower and guarantor under such underlying loans. Generally, if the lender determines (subject to certain conditions) that the market value of the collateral in a repurchase transaction has decreased by more than a defined minimum amount, the lender may require us to provide additional collateral or lead to margin calls that may require us to repay all or a portion of the funds advanced. We closely monitor our liquidity and intend to maintain sufficient liquidity on our balance sheet in order to meet any margin calls in the event of any significant decreases in asset values. As of June 30, 2024, the weighted average haircut under our repurchase agreements was 30.9% (or 28.5%, if we had borrowed the maximum amount approved by its repurchase agreement counterparties as of such dates). In addition, our existing master repurchase facilities are not entirely term-matched financings and may mature before our CRE debt investments that represent underlying collateral to those financings. As we negotiate renewals and extensions of these liabilities, we may experience lower advance rates and higher pricing under the renewed or extended agreements.
