17. Segment Reporting

  1. Segment Reporting

During the fourth quarter of 2023, the Company realigned its business and reportable segment information to reflect how the Chief Operating Decision Makers now regularly review and manage the business. As a result, the Company presents its business as one portfolio through the following business segments:

Senior and Mezzanine Loans and Preferred Equity—CRE debt investments including senior loans, mezzanine loans, and preferred equity interests as well as participations in such loans.

Net Leased and Other Real Estate—direct investments in CRE with long-term leases to tenants on a net lease basis, where such tenants generally will be responsible for property operating expenses such as insurance, utilities, maintenance, capital expenditures and real estate taxes. It also includes other real estate, currently consisting of two investments with direct ownership in commercial real estate, with an emphasis on properties with stable cash flow andfive additional properties that the Company acquired through foreclosure or deed-in-lieu of foreclosure.

Corporate and Other—includes corporate-level asset management and other fees including expenses related to our secured revolving credit facility (the “Bank Credit Facility”) and compensation and benefits. It also includes a sub-portfolio of private equity funds.

There were no changes in the structure of the Company’s internal organization that prompted the change in reportable segments. Prior year amounts have been recast to conform to the current year presentation. Accordingly, the Company realigned the discussion and analysis of our portfolio and results of operations to reflect these reportable segments.

The Company primarily generates revenue from net interest income on the loan and preferred equity portfolio and rental and other income from its net leased and multi-tenant office assets. The Company’s income is primarily derived through the difference between revenue and the cost at which the Company is able to finance its investments. The Company may also acquire investments which generate attractive returns without any leverage.
