  1. Common and Preferred Stock Investments

Common Stock Investments, at fair value

The Company owns approximately 25.7% of the total outstanding shares of common stock of NexPoint Storage Partners, Inc. ("NSP") and thus can exercise significant influence over NSP. The Company elected the fair value option in accordance with ASC 825-10-10 for NSP.

The investment in NSP is a Level 3 asset in the fair value hierarchy and was initially measured using the entry price of the asset. The Company's valuation policy for common stock is to use readily available market prices on the relevant valuation date to the extent they are available. On a quarterly basis, the Company determines the value using widely accepted valuation techniques. A bottoms-up approach was used by valuing the wholly-owned self-storage assets in aggregate and development loans individually. In this bottoms-up approach, the discounted cash flow methodology is applied to the self-storage assets owned by NSP. Additionally, the income approach is used to determine the fair value of the development loans owned by NSP whereby contractual cash flows are discounted at observable market discount rates. In addition, as a secondary check for reasonableness, a top-down approach was applied whereby observable market terminal capitalization rates and discount rates are applied to the consolidated NSP cash flows. The valuation relies primarily on the bottoms-up approach but uses the top-down approach to corroborate the bottoms-up conclusion with a reasonable precision.

The Company owns approximately 6.4% of the total outstanding shares of common stock of a private ground lease REIT (the "Private REIT") as of September 30, 2024. The Company elected the fair value option in accordance with ASC 825-10-10 for the Private REIT.

The investment in the Private REIT is a Level 3 asset in the fair value hierarchy. As of September 30, 2024, the Company valued this investment based on the Private REIT's market approach price of $19.72 per share.

The following table presents "Common stock investments, at fair value" as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively (in thousands, except share amounts):

Equity Method Investments

The Company owns approximately 98.0% of the total outstanding common equity of each of Resmark Forney Gateway Holdings, LLC ("RFGH") and Resmark The Brook Holdings, LLC ("RTB"). These investments are held in entities that are considered VIEs as the power to direct activities is not proportional to ownership interests. The investments are accounted for under the equity method and classified as Equity method investments.

The Company owns approximately 12.3% of the total outstanding common equity of Slater Apartments ("SK Apartments"). The investment is held in an entity that is considered a VIE as the power to direct activities is not proportional to ownership interests. The investments are accounted for under the equity method and classified as Equity method investments.

The Company owns approximately 79.1% of total outstanding membership interests of Capital Acquisitions Partners, LLC ("CAP"). The investment is held in an entity that is considered a VIE as the power to direct activities is not proportional to ownership interests. The investment is accounted for under the equity method and classified as Equity method investments.

Preferred Stock Investments, at fair value

On November 9, 2023, the Company invested in the Series D-1 preferred stock (“Series D-1”) of IQHQ, Inc. (“IQHQ”), a privately held life sciences real estate investment trust. The preferred stock dividend accumulates quarterly at a 10.5% dividend rate per annum. The Series D-1 are not deemed to be in-substance common stock and are accounted for as investments in equity securities measured at fair value. The securities do not have a readily determinable fair value, and the Company does not elect the measurement alternative. The Company owns approximately 11.8% of the total outstanding shares of preferred stock of the Series D-1 as of September 30, 2024.

The investment in the Series D-1 is a Level 3 asset in the fair value hierarchy and was initially measured using the entry price of the asset. As of September 30, 2024, the Company valued this investment using the discounted cash flow method based on the present value of the expected future cash flows of the underlying investment. The weighted average discount rate of 11.5% considered the implied yield of both the payment in kind and cash interest margins.

Prior to the Formation Transaction, two of our subsidiaries entered into a loan and security agreement dated July 12, 2019 with Freddie Mac (the “Credit Facility”). Under the Credit Facility, these entities borrowed approximately $788.8 million in connection with their acquisition of senior pooled mortgage loans backed by SFR properties (the “Underlying Loans”). No additional borrowings can be made under the Credit Facility, and our obligations will be secured by the Underlying Loans. The Credit Facility is guaranteed by certain members of the Contribution Group and the OP. The guarantors are subject to minimum net worth and liquidity covenants. The Credit Facility continues to be guaranteed by members of the Contribution Group and the OP as of September 30, 2024. The Credit Facility was assumed by the Company as part of the Formation Transaction at carrying value which approximated fair value. As such, the remaining outstanding balance of $788.8 million was contributed to the Company on February 11, 2020. Our borrowings under the Credit Facility will mature on July 12, 2029. However, if an Underlying Loan matures or is paid off prior to July 12, 2029, the Company will be required to repay the portion of the Credit Facility that is allocated to that loan. As of September 30, 2024, the outstanding balance on the Credit Facility was $113.3 million.

We, through the Subsidiary OPs, have borrowed approximately $239.0 million under our repurchase agreements and posted $1.0 billion par value of our CMBS B-Piece, CMBS I/O Strips and mortgage backed security investments as collateral as of September 30, 2024. The CMBS B-Pieces, CMBS I/O Strips and mortgage backed securities held as collateral are illiquid and irreplaceable in nature. These assets are restricted solely to satisfy the interest and principal balances owed to the lender.

On November 15, 2023, the Company issued an additional $15.0 million aggregate principal amount of its 5.75% Senior Unsecured Notes ("5.75% Notes") at a price equal to 92.0% par value, including accrued interest, for proceeds of approximately $13.6 million after original issue discount and underwriting fees. As of September 30, 2024 the principal outstanding is $180.0 million.

As of September 30, 2024, the outstanding principal balances related to the levered SFR Loans and mezzanine loans consisted of the following (dollars in thousands):

  1. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair-value measurements are determined based on the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. As a basis for considering market-participant assumptions in fair-value measurements, ASC 820 establishes a fair-value hierarchy that distinguishes between market-participant assumptions based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity (observable inputs that are classified within Levels 1 and 2 of the hierarchy) and the reporting entity’s own assumptions about market-participant assumptions (unobservable inputs classified within Level 3 of the hierarchy):

Level 1 inputs are adjusted, quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date.

Level 2 inputs are other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs may include quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability (other than quoted prices), such as interest rates and yield curves, that are observable at commonly quoted intervals.

Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, and include situations where there is little, if any, related market activity for the asset or liability.

The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair-value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the asset or liability.

Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities

In the normal course of business, our operations are exposed to market risks, including the effect of changes in interest rates. We may enter into derivative financial instruments to offset this underlying market risk. There have been no significant changes in our policy and strategy from what was disclosed in the financial statements included in our Annual Report.

Financial Instruments Carried at Fair Value

See Note 2 and Notes 4 through 7 for additional information.

Financial Instruments Not Carried at Fair Value

The fair values of cash and cash equivalents, accrued interest and dividends, accounts payable and other accrued liabilities and accrued interest payable approximated their carrying values because of the short-term nature of these instruments. The estimated fair values of other financial instruments were determined by the Company using available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies. Considerable judgment is necessary to interpret market data and develop estimated fair values. Accordingly, the estimates presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts the Company would realize on the disposition of the financial instruments. The use of different market assumptions or estimation methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts.

In calculating the fair value of its long-term indebtedness, the Company used interest rate and spread assumptions that reflect current creditworthiness and market conditions available for the issuance of long-term debt with similar terms and remaining maturities. These financial instruments utilize Level 2 inputs.

Amounts borrowed under master repurchase agreements are based on the contractual amounts that reasonably approximate their fair value given the short to moderate term and floating rate nature.

Other Financial Instruments Carried at Fair Value

Redeemable noncontrolling interests in the OP and the 9.00% Series B Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock (the "Series B Preferred Stock") have redemption features and are marked to their redemption value if such value exceeds the carrying value. The redemption values are based on the fair value of the Company’s common stock at the redemption date, and therefore, are calculated based on the fair value of the Company’s common stock at the balance sheet date. Since the valuation is based on observable inputs such as quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, the redeemable noncontrolling interests in the OP and the Series B Preferred Stock are classified as Level 2 if they are adjusted to their redemption value. At September 30, 2024, the redeemable noncontrolling interests in the OP and the Series B Preferred Stock are valued at their carrying value on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

  1. Stockholders’ Equity

Common Stock

During the nine months September 30, 2024, the Company issued 229,216 shares of common stock, par value of $0.01 per share pursuant to the Amended and Restated NexPoint Real Estate Finance, Inc. 2020 Long Term Incentive Plan (the "Amended and Restated LTIP").

As of September 30, 2024, the Company had 17,461,129 shares of common stock issued and outstanding.

Preferred Stock

On July 24, 2020, the Company issued 2,000,000 shares of its 8.50% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock (the “Series A Preferred Stock”) at a price to the public of $24.00 per share, for gross proceeds of $48.0 million before deducting underwriting discounts and commissions of approximately $1.2 million and other offering expenses of approximately $0.8 million. The Series A Preferred Stock has a $25.00 per share liquidation preference.

On November 2, 2023, the Company announced the launch of a continuous public offering (the “Series B Preferred Offering”) of up to 16,000,000 shares of its Series B Preferred Stock at a price to the public of $25.00 per share. As of September 30, 2024, the Company has issued 4,970,885 shares of Series B Preferred Stock for gross proceeds of $121.5 million before deducting selling commissions and dealer manager fees of approximately $9.7 million. The Series B Preferred Stock has a $25.00 per share liquidation preference. The Company expects that the Series B Preferred Offering will terminate on the earlier of the date the Company sells all 16,000,000 shares of the Series B Preferred Stock in the Series B Preferred Offering or March 14, 2025 (which is the third anniversary of the effective date of the Company’s registration statement), which may be extended by the Board in its sole discretion. The Board may elect to terminate the Series B Preferred Offering at any time.

Share Repurchase Program

On March 9, 2020, the Board authorized a share repurchase program (the "Prior Share Repurchase Program") through which the Company could repurchase an indeterminate number of shares of our common stock at an aggregate market value of up to $10.0 million in shares of its common stock during atwo-year period that expired on March 9, 2022. On September 28, 2020, the Board authorized the expansion of the Prior Share Repurchase Program to include the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock with the same period and repurchase limit. The Company was able to utilize various methods to affect the repurchases, and the timing and extent of the repurchases will depend upon several factors, including market and business conditions, regulatory requirements and other corporate considerations, including whether the Company’s common stock is trading at a significant discount to net asset value ("NAV") per share. From inception through expiration, the Company repurchased 327,422 shares of its common stock, par value $0.01 per share, at a total cost of approximately $4.8 million, or $14.61 per share. These repurchased shares of common stock are classified as treasury stock and reduce the number of shares of the Company’s common stock outstanding and, accordingly, are considered in the weighted-average number of shares outstanding during the period. On March 3, 2021, the Company cancelled 40,435 shares of common stock, and on May 29, 2024, the Company cancelled 286,987 shares of common stock, eliminating the remaining treasury shares.

On February 22, 2023, the Board authorized a share repurchase program (the “Share Repurchase Program”) through which the Company may repurchase an indeterminate number of shares of our common stock and Series A Preferred Stock at an aggregate market value of up to $20.0 million in shares of its common stock, during atwo-year period set to expire on February 22, 2025. The Company may utilize various methods to affect the repurchases, and the timing and extent of the repurchases will depend upon several factors, including market and business conditions, regulatory requirements and other corporate considerations, including whether the Company’s common stock is trading at a significant discount to NAV per share. Repurchases under this program may be discontinued at any time. The Company has not made any purchases under the Share Repurchase Program as of September 30, 2024.

Long Term Incentive Plan

On January 31, 2020, the NexPoint Real Estate Finance, Inc. 2020 Long Term Incentive Plan (the “Original LTIP” as amended and restated by the Amended and Restated LTIP, the “LTIP”) was approved and on May 7, 2020, the Company filed a registration statement on Form S-8 registering 1,319,734 shares of common stock, which the Company may issue pursuant to the Original LTIP.

On January 26, 2024, the Amended and Restated LTIP was approved and on January 30, 2024, the Company filed a registration statement on Form S-8 registering an additional 2,308,000 shares of common stock, which the Company may issue pursuant to the Amended and Restated LTIP. The LTIP authorizes the compensation committee of the Board to provide equity-based compensation in the form of stock options, appreciation rights, restricted shares, restricted stock units, performance shares, performance units and certain other awards denominated or payable in, or otherwise based on, the Company’s common stock or factors that may influence the value of the Company’s common stock, plus cash incentive awards, for the purpose of providing the Company’s directors, officers and other key employees (and those of the Manager and the Company’s subsidiaries), the Company’s non-employee directors, and potentially certain non-employees who perform employee-type functions, incentives and rewards for performance.

Restricted Stock Units.

Under the LTIP, restricted stock units may be granted to the Company’s directors, officers and other key employees (and those of the Manager and the Company’s subsidiaries) and typically vest over athree tofive-year period for officers, employees and certain key employees of the Manager and annually for directors. The most recent grant of restricted stock units to officers, employees and certain key employees of the Manager will vest over afour-year period. Beginning on the date of grant, restricted stock units earn dividends that are payable in cash on the vesting date. On November 2, 2020, pursuant to the LTIP, the Company granted 1,838 restricted stock units to the sole member of the general partner of one of the Company's subsidiaries, on February 22, 2021, the Company granted 220,352 restricted stock units to its officers and other employees of the Manager and 11,832 restricted stock units to its directors, on November 8, 2021, the Company granted 1,201 restricted stock units to the sole member of the general partner of one of the Company’s subsidiaries, on February 21, 2022, the Company granted 264,476 restricted stock units to its officers and other employees of the Manager and 12,464 restricted stock units to its directors, on April 4, 2023, the Company granted 418,685 restricted stock units to its officers and other employees of the Manager and 21,370 restricted stock units to its directors, and on March 13, 2024 the Company granted 442,666 restricted stock units to its officers and other employees of the Manager and 22,650 restricted stock units to its directors. Compensation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the total requisite service period for the entire award. Forfeitures are recognized as they occur.

The following table includes the number of restricted stock units granted, vested, forfeited and outstanding as of September 30, 2024:

As of September 30, 2024, total unrecognized compensation expense on restricted stock unit awards was approximately $11.2 million, and the expense is expected to be recognized over a weighted average vesting period of 1.4 years.

At-The-Market-Offering

On March 15, 2022, the Company, the OP and the Manager entered into separate equity distribution agreements (the “2022 Equity Distribution Agreements”) with each of Raymond James, Keefe, Bruyette & Woods, Inc., Robert W. Baird & Co. Incorporated and Virtu Americas LLC (collectively, the “2022 Sales Agents”), pursuant to which the Company could issue and sell from time to time shares of the Company's common stock and Series A Preferred Stock having an aggregate sales price of up to $100.0 million (the “2022 ATM Program”). The 2022 Equity Distribution Agreements provided for the issuance and sale of common stock or Series A Preferred Stock by the Company through a sales agent acting as a sales agent or directly to the sales agent acting as principal for its own account at a price agreed upon at the time of sale.

Sales of shares of common stock or Series A Preferred Stock under the 2022 ATM Program, if any, may be made in transactions that are deemed to be “at the market” offerings, as defined in Rule 415 under the Securities Act of 1933 (the

"Securities Act") including, without limitation, sales made by means of ordinary brokers' transactions on the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE"), to or through a market maker at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to prevailing market prices or at negotiated prices based on prevailing market prices.

The following table contains summary information of the 2022 ATM Program for sales from inception through September 30, 2024:

  1. Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of the Company’s common stock outstanding and excludes any unvested restricted stock units issued pursuant to the LTIP.

Diluted earnings per share is computed by adjusting basic earnings per share for the dilutive effect of the assumed vesting of restricted stock units. Additionally, the Company includes the dilutive effect of the potential redemption of OP Units for common shares in accordance with the second amended and restated limited partnership agreement of the OP (as amended, the "OP LPA"). The Company also includes the assumed conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock using the if-converted method. During periods of net loss, the assumed vesting of restricted stock units is anti-dilutive and is not included in the calculation of earnings (loss) per share.

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share for the periods presented (in thousands, except per share amounts):

Effective January 1, 2023, the Company restructured this investment such that it does not meet the requirements for consolidation under ASC 810 – Consolidation and has been deconsolidated herein as of January 1, 2023 and presented as a preferred equity investment. As of December 31, 2022, the Company owned a preferred equity investment and indirect common equity interests in Elysian at Hughes Center, which resulted in the consolidation at year end. However, the common equity interests have been transferred to the Asset Manager in exchange for $54,000 and a guarantee of payments due to the Company in respect of its preferred equity investment if the investment is not redeemed prior to the close of the ongoing private offering of Class I Beneficial Interests in the Trust, which will continue until the maximum offering amount of $115.3 million has been reached.

Management determined the fair value of the preferred equity investment using a market approach and performing a benchmarking analysis to comparable transactions. As of September 30, 2024, $54.0 million of the Company's preferred investment in Elysian at Hughes Center had been redeemed, resulting in a remaining principal balance of $11.3 million.
