Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
This "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" should be read in conjunction with the information included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 (our "Form 10-K"). This discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Actual results could differ significantly from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements. See "Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements" at the beginning of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Overview
Starwood Property Trust, Inc. ("STWD" and, together with its subsidiaries, "we" or the "Company") is a Maryland corporation that commenced operations in August 2009, upon the completion of our initial public offering. We are focused primarily on originating, acquiring, financing and managing mortgage loans and other real estate investments in the United States ("U.S."), Europe and Australia. As market conditions change over time, we may adjust our strategy to take advantage of changes in interest rates and credit spreads as well as economic and credit conditions.
We have four reportable business segments as of September 30, 2025 and we refer to the investments within these segments as our target assets:
•Real estate commercial and residential lending (the "Commercial and Residential Lending Segment")-engages primarily in originating, acquiring, financing and managing commercial first mortgages, non-agency residential mortgages ("residential loans"), subordinated mortgages, mezzanine loans, preferred equity, commercial mortgage-backed securities ("CMBS"), residential mortgage-backed securities ("RMBS") and other real estate and real estate-related debt investments in the U.S., Europe and Australia (including distressed or non-performing loans). Our residential loans are secured by a first mortgage lien on residential property and primarily consist of non-agency residential loans that are not guaranteed by any U.S. Government agency or federally chartered corporation.
•Infrastructure lending (the "Infrastructure Lending Segment")-engages primarily in originating, acquiring, financing and managing infrastructure debt investments.
•Real estate property (the "Property Segment")-engages primarily in acquiring and managing equity interests in stabilized and to be stabilized commercial real estate. This includes multifamily properties, multi-tenant medical office net lease properties and diversified single-tenant triple net lease properties, all of which are held for investment.
•Real estate investing and servicing (the "Investing and Servicing Segment")-includes (i) a servicing business in the U.S. that manages and works out problem assets, (ii) an investment business that selectively acquires and manages unrated, investment grade and non-investment grade rated CMBS, including subordinated interests of securitization and resecuritization transactions, (iii) a mortgage loan business which originates conduit loans for the primary purpose of selling these loans into securitization transactions and (iv) an investment business that selectively acquires commercial real estate assets, including properties acquired from CMBS trusts.
Our segments exclude the consolidation of securitization variable interest entities ("VIEs"), principally representing CMBS trust vehicles that we consolidate by virtue of our role as special servicer. However, they include securitized financing VIEs such as collateralized loan obligations ("CLOs"), single asset securitizations ("SASBs") and asset-backed securitizations ("ABSs").
Refer to Note 1 of our condensed consolidated financial statements included herein (the "Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements") for further discussion of our business and organization.
Economic Environment
Although the Federal Reserve began to lower interest rates in September 2025, after having held rates steady for a year, it is not clear what actions it may take going forward given the uncertain economic effects of tariffs which increase the possibility of an economic slowdown as well as inflationary pressures in the U.S. Elevated interest rates and tariffs over time may adversely affect our borrowers and our tenants. Higher costs may dampen consumer spending and slow income growth, which may negatively impact the collateral underlying certain of our loans and certain of our commercial assets subject to net lease whose customer base could be adversely impacted. Rates can also impact the value of real estate, including the real estate
we own as well as the real estate collateralizing our loans. It remains difficult to predict the full impact of recent events and any future changes in tariffs, interest rates, inflation and overall economic activity.
In addition, following the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, the U.S. office sector has been adversely affected by the increase in remote working arrangements and, over the past several years, the retail sector has been adversely affected by electronic commerce and the multifamily sector has been strained by sustained higher interest rates. These negative factors have been considered in the determination of our current expected credit loss ("CECL") allowance as discussed in Note 4 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. We may be required to record further increases to our CECL reserves in the future, depending on the performance of our portfolio and broader market conditions, and there may be volatility in the level of our CECL reserves, particularly if market conditions relevant to the office sector do not improve. Any such reserve increases are difficult to predict.

Results of Operations
The discussion below is based on accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") and therefore reflects the elimination of certain key financial statement line items related to the consolidation of securitization variable interest entities ("VIEs"), particularly within revenues and other income, as discussed in Note 2 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. For a discussion of our results of operations excluding the impact of Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 810 as it relates to the consolidation of securitization VIEs, refer to the section captioned "Non-GAAP Financial Measures."
The following table compares our summarized results of operations for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and June 30, 2025 and for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 by business segment (amounts in thousands):

For the three months ended September 30, 2025, revenues of our Commercial and Residential Lending Segment decreased $0.8 million to $343.1 million, compared to $343.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025. This was primarily due to a decrease of $2.9 million in interest income from investment securities, reflecting lower balances due to payoffs, partially offset by an increase in interest income from loans of $2.3 million. The increase in interest income from loans was comprised of a $2.7 million increase from commercial loans primarily reflecting higher average balances, partially offset by a $0.4 million decrease from residential loans.
Costs and Expenses
For the three months ended September 30, 2025, costs and expenses of our Commercial and Residential Lending Segment increased $24.1 million to $231.4 million, compared to $207.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025. This increase was primarily due to increases of $23.1 million in the credit loss provision and $1.1 million in interest expense associated with the various secured financing facilities used to fund a portion of this segment's investment portfolio. The increase in the credit loss provision primarily reflects a $27.2 million specific allowance provided on a mezzanine loan deemed credit deteriorated in the 2025 third quarter. The increase in interest expense was primarily due to higher average borrowings outstanding.

For the three months ended September 30, 2025, net interest income of our Commercial and Residential Lending Segment decreased $1.7 million to $152.7 million, compared to $154.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025. This decrease reflects the net decrease in interest income and the increase in interest expense on our secured financing facilities, both as discussed in the sections above.
During the three months ended September 30, 2025 and June 30, 2025, the weighted average unlevered yields on the Commercial and Residential Lending Segment's loans and investment securities, excluding retained RMBS and loans for which interest income is not recognized, were as follows:

For the three months ended September 30, 2025, the weighted average unlevered yields on our commercial and residential loans were relatively consistent with the three months ended June 30, 2025.
During the three months ended September 30, 2025 and June 30, 2025, the Commercial and Residential Lending Segment's weighted average secured borrowing rates, inclusive of the amortization of deferred financing fees, were 6.3% and 6.5%, respectively. Interest rate hedges had the effect of reducing these weighted average borrowing costs to 5.9% and 6.0% during the three months ended September 30, 2025 and June 30, 2025, respectively.
Other Income
For the three months ended September 30, 2025, other income of our Commercial and Residential Lending Segment increased $16.0 million to $42.6 million compared to $26.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025. This increase was primarily due to (i) a $130.4 million favorable change in gain (loss) on derivatives and (ii) a $32.1 million greater increase in fair value of residential loans, partially offset by (iii) a $95.3 million unfavorable change in foreign currency gain (loss), (iv) a $30.6 million lesser gain on sale of investments and other assets and (v) the nonrecurrence of a $20.8 million gain on extinguishment of debt primarily related to the sale of a foreclosed property in the second quarter of 2025. The favorable change in gain (loss) on derivatives in the third quarter of 2025 reflects (i) a $113.6 million favorable change in gain (loss) on foreign currency hedges and (ii) a $16.8 million lower loss on interest rate swaps principally related to residential loans. The interest rate swaps are used primarily to hedge our interest rate risk on residential loans held-for-sale and to fix our interest rate payments on certain variable rate borrowings which fund fixed rate investments. The foreign currency hedges are used to fix the U.S. dollar amounts of cash flows (both interest and principal payments) we expect to receive from our foreign currency denominated loans and investments. The unfavorable change in foreign currency gain (loss) and the favorable change in gain (loss) on foreign currency hedges reflect the strengthening of the U.S. dollar against the pound sterling ("GBP") and Euro ("EUR"), partially offset by a weakening against the Australian dollar ("AUD"), in the third quarter of 2025, compared to a weakening of the U.S. dollar against each of those currencies in the second quarter of 2025.
Infrastructure Lending Segment
Revenues
For the three months ended September 30, 2025, revenues of our Infrastructure Lending Segment increased $10.5 million to $77.7 million, compared to $67.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025. This was primarily due to a $10.8 million increase in interest income from loans reflecting higher prepayment related income and average loan balances.
Costs and Expenses
For the three months ended September 30, 2025 and June 30, 2025, costs and expenses of our Infrastructure Lending Segment remained relatively unchanged at $48.3 million. A $2.3 million increase in interest expense, primarily reflecting higher average borrowings outstanding, was offset by decreases in other costs and expenses.

For the three months ended September 30, 2025, net interest income of our Infrastructure Lending Segment increased $8.5 million to $35.5 million, compared to $27.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025. The increase reflects the increase in interest income from loans, partially offset by the increase in interest expense on the secured financing facilities used to fund this segment's investment portfolio, both as discussed above.
During the three months ended September 30, 2025 and June 30, 2025, the weighted average unlevered yield on the Infrastructure Lending Segment's loans and investment securities, excluding those for which interest income is not recognized, was 9.3% and 9.1%, respectively, primarily reflecting higher prepayment related income in the third quarter of 2025.
During both the three months ended September 30, 2025 and June 30, 2025, the Infrastructure Lending Segment's weighted average secured borrowing rate, inclusive of the amortization of deferred financing fees, was 6.9%.
Other Income (Loss)
For the three months ended September 30, 2025, other income (loss) of our Infrastructure Lending Segment decreased $1.5 million to a loss of $0.5 million, compared to income of $1.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, primarily due to an unfavorable change in earnings (loss) from unconsolidated entities.

See Notes 6 and 7 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for a description of the above-referenced Property Segment assets.
Revenues
For the three months ended September 30, 2025, revenues of our Property Segment increased $29.7 million to $46.2 million, compared to $16.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, primarily due to Fundamental, which contributed rental income for the period from July 23, 2025 to September 30, 2025.
Costs and Expenses
For the three months ended September 30, 2025, costs and expenses of our Property Segment increased $36.2 million to $58.3 million, compared to $22.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, primarily due to Fundamental, which introduced (i) higher interest expense from the liabilities assumed and higher general and administrative expenses totaling $20.2 million and (ii) higher depreciation and amortization of $15.4 million from the assets acquired.
Other Income (Loss)
For the three months ended September 30, 2025, other income (loss) of our Property Segment decreased $12.6 million to a loss of $8.3 million compared to income of $4.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025. The decrease is primarily due to (i) an $8.0 million loss on derivatives which hedge the pending securitization of Fundamental collateral currently on a warehouse line and the pending refinance of an existing ABS facility, as well as (ii) a $4.8 million decrease in income attributable to investments of the Woodstar Fund, primarily related to unrealized fair value changes.
Investing and Servicing Segment
Revenues
For the three months ended September 30, 2025, revenues of our Investing and Servicing Segment increased $7.1 million to $60.9 million, compared to $53.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025. The increase in revenues is primarily due to (i) a $9.7 million increase in servicing fees principally related to default interest and consent fees, partially offset by (ii) a $3.1 million decrease in interest income from conduit loans primarily reflecting lower average balances held during the third quarter.
Costs and Expenses
For the three months ended September 30, 2025, costs and expenses of our Investing and Servicing Segment decreased $3.8 million to $33.9 million, compared to $37.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025. The decrease is primarily due to a $2.5 million decrease in general and administrative expenses, principally related to decreased loan securitization activity, and a $1.0 million decrease in interest expense primarily related to the financing of conduit loan balances.
Other Income
For the three months ended September 30, 2025, other income of our Investing and Servicing Segment decreased $13.9 million to $22.2 million, compared to $36.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025. The decrease is primarily due to a $9.6 million lower gain in fair value of conduit loans and a $2.8 million decrease in earnings from unconsolidated entities.
Corporate and Other Items
Corporate Costs and Expenses
For the three months ended September 30, 2025, corporate expenses increased $2.5 million to $117.7 million, compared to $115.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025. This was primarily due to increases of $1.4 million in management fees and $1.0 million in interest expense.
Corporate Other Income (Loss)
For the three months ended September 30, 2025, corporate other income (loss) decreased $18.0 million to a loss of $1.8 million, compared to income of $16.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025. This was due to a an unfavorable change in gain (loss) on our fixed-to-floating interest rate swaps which hedge a portion of our unsecured senior notes.
Securitization VIE Eliminations
Securitization VIE eliminations primarily reclassify interest income and servicing fee revenues to other income (loss) for the CMBS and RMBS VIEs that we consolidate as primary beneficiary. Such eliminations have no overall effect on net income (loss) attributable to Starwood Property Trust. The reclassified revenues, along with applicable changes in fair value of investment securities and servicing rights, comprise the other income (loss) caption "Change in net assets related to consolidated VIEs," which represents our beneficial interest in those consolidated VIEs. The magnitude of the securitization VIE eliminations is merely a function of the number of CMBS and RMBS trusts consolidated in any given period, and as such, is not a meaningful indicator of operating results. The eliminations primarily relate to CMBS trusts for which the Investing and Servicing Segment is deemed the primary beneficiary and, to a much lesser extent, some CMBS and RMBS trusts for which the Commercial and Residential Lending Segment is deemed the primary beneficiary.
Income Tax Provision
Our consolidated income taxes principally relate to the taxable nature of our loan servicing and loan securitization businesses which are housed in taxable REIT subsidiaries ("TRSs"). For the three months ended September 30, 2025, our income tax provision increased $12.6 million to $13.3 million compared to $0.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025. This increase was due to higher taxable income of our TRSs in the third quarter of 2025 compared to the second quarter of 2025.
Net Income Attributable to Non-controlling Interests
During the three months ended September 30, 2025, net income attributable to non-controlling interests increased $2.5 million to $7.4 million, compared to $4.9 million during the three months ended June 30, 2025. The increase was primarily due to non-controlling interests in a favorable change in unrealized gains (losses) of a consolidated CMBS joint venture in the third quarter of 2025.
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2025 Compared to the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2024
Commercial and Residential Lending Segment
Revenues
For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, revenues of our Commercial and Residential Lending Segment decreased $197.1 million to $1.0 billion, compared to $1.2 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. This decrease was primarily due to decreases in interest income from loans of $183.0 million and investment securities of $26.5 million, partially offset by a $9.1 million increase in rental income from foreclosed properties. The decrease in interest income from loans reflects (i) a $176.2 million decrease from commercial loans, reflecting lower average index rates and spreads, additional loans placed on nonaccrual, lower prepayment related income and lower average balances, and (ii) a $6.8 million decrease from residential loans principally due to lower average balances. The decrease in interest income from investment securities was primarily due to lower average commercial investment balances due to repayments.
Costs and Expenses
For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, costs and expenses of our Commercial and Residential Lending Segment decreased $268.0 million to $602.4 million, compared to $870.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. This decrease was primarily due to decreases of $138.3 million in credit loss provision and $134.4 million in interest expense associated with the various secured financing facilities used to fund a portion of this segment's investment portfolio. The credit loss provision decreased primarily due to improvement in the macroeconomic outlook. The decrease in interest expense was primarily due to lower average borrowings outstanding due to paydowns from net loan repayments and excess cash balances and the effect of lower average index rates.

This decrease reflects the decrease in interest income, partially offset by the decrease in interest expense on our secured financing facilities, both as discussed in the sections above.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, the weighted average unlevered yields on the Commercial and Residential Lending Segment's loans and investment securities, excluding retained RMBS and loans for which interest income is not recognized, were as follows:

The weighted average unlevered yield on our commercial loans decreased primarily due to lower average index rates and spreads and lower prepayment related income. The unlevered yield on our residential loans was relatively unchanged.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, the Commercial and Residential Lending Segment's weighted average secured borrowing rates, inclusive of the amortization of deferred financing fees, were 6.5% and 7.6%, respectively. The decrease in borrowing rates primarily reflects lower average index rates. Interest rate hedges had the effect of adjusting these weighted average borrowing costs to 5.9% and 6.7% during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Other Income
For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, other income of our Commercial and Residential Lending Segment decreased $48.3 million to $88.8 million, compared to $137.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. This decrease primarily reflects (i) a $179.3 million unfavorable change in gain (loss) on derivatives, partially offset by (ii) an $81.9 million increase in foreign currency gain, (iii) a $32.7 million net gain on sale of investments and other assets and (iv) a $20.6 million increased gain on extinguishment of debt primarily related to the sale of a foreclosed property in the nine months of 2025. The unfavorable change in gain (loss) on derivatives during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 reflects (i) a $100.5 million increased loss on foreign currency hedges and (ii) a $78.8 million unfavorable change in gain (loss) on interest rate swaps principally related to residential loans. The interest rate swaps are used primarily to hedge our interest rate risk on residential loans held-for-sale and to fix our interest rate payments on certain variable rate borrowings which fund fixed rate investments. The foreign currency hedges are used to fix the U.S. dollar amounts of cash flows (both interest and principal payments) we expect to receive from our foreign currency denominated loans and investments. The increased foreign currency gain and the increased loss on foreign currency hedges reflect the weakening of the U.S. dollar against the GBP, EUR and AUD during the nine months of 2025, compared to a lesser weakening of the U.S. dollar against each of those currencies in the nine months of 2024.
Infrastructure Lending Segment
Revenues
For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, revenues of our Infrastructure Lending Segment increased $8.9 million to $206.5 million, compared to $197.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. This increase was primarily due to an $8.6 million increase in interest income from loans, reflecting higher average balances and prepayment related income, partially offset by the effects of lower average index rates and spreads.
Costs and Expenses
For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, costs and expenses of our Infrastructure Lending Segment increased $7.4 million to $139.5 million, compared to $132.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The increase was primarily due to increases of $4.7 million in general, administrative and other expenses, $2.3 million in credit loss provision and $0.4 million in interest expense, reflecting higher average borrowings outstanding, partially offset by lower average index rates.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, net interest income of our Infrastructure Lending Segment increased $8.2 million to $87.9 million, compared to $79.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The increase reflects the increase in interest income from loans, partially offset by the increase in interest expense on the secured financing facilities, both as discussed in the sections above.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, the weighted average unlevered yields on the Infrastructure Lending Segment's loans and investment securities, excluding those for which interest income is not recognized, were 9.7% and 10.6%, respectively, reflecting lower average index rates and spreads, partially offset by higher prepayment related income, in the nine months of 2025.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, the Infrastructure Lending Segment's weighted average secured borrowing rates, inclusive of the amortization of deferred financing fees, were 6.9% and 8.0%, respectively, reflecting lower average index rates in the nine months of 2025.
Other Income (Loss)
For the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, other income (loss) of our Infrastructure Lending Segment improved $0.8 million to income of $0.1 million, compared to a loss of $0.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, primarily due to an improvement in earnings (loss) of unconsolidated entities.

Revenues
For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, revenues of our Property Segment increased $25.8 million to $79.2 million, compared to $53.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The increase was primarily due to Fundamental, which contributed rental income for the period from July 23, 2025 to September 30, 2025, the effect of which was partially offset by the sale of our Master Lease Portfolio on February 29, 2024.
Costs and Expenses
For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, costs and expenses of our Property Segment increased $28.5 million to $102.6 million, compared to $74.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The increase is primarily due to Fundamental, which introduced (i) higher interest expense from the liabilities assumed and higher general and administrative expenses totaling $20.2 million and (ii) higher depreciation and amortization of $15.4 million from the assets acquired, the effect of which was partially offset by (iii) a $6.7 million decrease in interest expense on variable rate borrowings of the Medical Office Portfolio, reflecting lower refinanced balances and index rates, and (iv) the sale of our Master Lease Portfolio on February 29, 2024.
Other Income (Loss)
For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, other income of our Property Segment decreased $101.3 million to a loss of $1.0 million, compared to income of $100.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The decrease is primarily due to (i) the nonrecurrence of a $90.8 million net gain on sale of the Master Lease Portfolio in the first quarter of 2024 and (ii) an $8.0 million loss on derivatives which hedge the pending securitization of Fundamental collateral currently on a warehouse line and the pending refinance of an existing ABS facility.
Investing and Servicing Segment
Revenues
For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, revenues of our Investing and Servicing Segment increased $23.5 million to $173.5 million, compared to $150.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The increase in revenues is primarily due to (i) a $20.3 million increase in servicing fees principally related to default interest and (ii) a $2.6 million increase in interest income from CMBS investments primarily due to higher interest recoveries.
Costs and Expenses
For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, costs and expenses of our Investing and Servicing Segment decreased $5.5 million to $107.3 million, compared to $112.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The decrease is primarily due to decreases of (i) $4.2 million in interest expense principally related to the financing of conduit loan balances and (ii) $2.7 million in general and administrative expenses.
Other Income (Loss)
For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, other income (loss) of our Investing and Servicing Segment improved $64.5 million to income of $50.5 million, compared to a loss of $14.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The improvement was primarily due to (i) a $55.1 million lesser decrease in fair value of CMBS investments, (ii) a $7.6 million increase in earnings from unconsolidated entities and (iii) a $7.3 million favorable change in fair value of servicing rights, partially offset by (iv) the nonrecurrence of an $8.3 million gain on sale of an operating property in the nine months of 2024.
Corporate and Other Items
Corporate Costs and Expenses
For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, corporate expenses increased $38.4 million to $352.8 million, compared to $314.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. This increase was primarily due to (i) a $36.1 million increase in interest expense reflecting higher average balances of unsecured senior notes and secured term loans outstanding, partially offset by lower spreads and index rates on the secured term loans, and (ii) a $2.4 million increase in general and administrative expenses.
Corporate Other Income
For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, corporate other income increased $36.0 million to $41.7 million, compared to $5.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. This was due to an increased gain on fixed-to-floating interest rate swaps which hedge a portion of our unsecured senior notes.
Securitization VIE Eliminations
Refer to the preceding comparison of the three months ended September 30, 2025 to the three months ended June 30, 2025 for a discussion of the effect of securitization VIE eliminations.
Income Tax Provision
Our consolidated income taxes principally relate to the taxable nature of our loan servicing and loan securitization businesses which are housed in TRSs. For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, our income tax provision decreased $9.7 million to $17.8 million, compared to $27.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. This decrease was due to lower taxable income of our TRSs in the nine months of 2025 compared to the nine months of 2024.
Net Income Attributable to Non-controlling Interests
For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, net income attributable to non-controlling interests increased $14.6 million to $16.1 million, compared to $1.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The increase was primarily due to non-controlling interests in lower unrealized losses of a consolidated CMBS joint venture.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Distributable Earnings is a non-GAAP financial measure. We calculate Distributable Earnings as GAAP net income (loss) excluding the following: (i) non-cash equity compensation expense; (ii) the incentive fee due under our management agreement; (iii) acquisition and investment pursuit costs associated with successful acquisitions; (iv) depreciation and amortization of real estate and associated intangibles; (v) unrealized gains (losses), net of realized gains (losses), as described further below; (vi) other non-cash items; and (vii) to the extent deducted from net income (loss), distributions payable with respect to equity securities of subsidiaries issued in exchange for properties or interests therein (i.e. the Woodstar II Class A units), with each of the above adjusted for any related non-controlling interest. Distributable Earnings may be adjusted to exclude one-time events pursuant to changes in GAAP and certain other non-cash adjustments as determined by our Manager and approved by a majority of our independent directors.
As noted in (v) above, we exclude unrealized gains and losses from our calculation of Distributable Earnings and include realized gains and losses. The nature of these adjustments is described more fully in the footnotes to our reconciliation tables. In order to present each of these items within our Distributable Earnings reconciliation tables in a manner which can be agreed more easily to our GAAP financial statements, we reverse the entirety of those items within our GAAP financial statements which contain unrealized and realized components (i.e. those assets and liabilities carried at fair value, including loans or securities for which the fair value option has been elected, investment company assets and liabilities, derivatives, foreign currency conversions, and accumulated depreciation related to sold properties). The realized portion of these items is then separately included in the reconciliation table, along with a description as to how the amount was determined.
The CECL reserve and any property impairment losses have been excluded from Distributable Earnings consistent with other unrealized losses pursuant to our existing policy for reporting Distributable Earnings. We expect to only recognize such potential credit or property impairment losses in Distributable Earnings if and when such amounts are deemed nonrecoverable upon a realization event. This is generally at the time a loan is repaid, or in the case of a foreclosure or other property, when the underlying asset is sold. Non-recoverability may also be determined if, in our determination, it is nearly certain the carrying amounts will not be collected or realized upon sale. The realized loss amount reflected in Distributable Earnings will equal the difference between the cash received, or expected to be received, and the Distributable Earnings basis of the asset, and is reflective of our economic experience as it relates to the ultimate realization of the asset. The timing of any such loss realization in our Distributable Earnings may differ materially from the timing of the corresponding CECL reserves, charge-offs or impairments in our consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP.
We believe that Distributable Earnings provides meaningful information to consider in addition to our net income (loss) and cash flows from operating activities determined in accordance with GAAP. We believe Distributable Earnings is a useful financial metric for existing and potential future holders of our common stock as historically, over time, Distributable Earnings has been a strong indicator of our dividends per share. As a REIT, we generally must distribute annually at least 90% of our REIT taxable income, subject to certain adjustments, and therefore we believe our dividends are one of the principal reasons stockholders may invest in our common stock. Further, Distributable Earnings helps us to evaluate our performance excluding the effects of certain transactions and GAAP adjustments that we believe are not necessarily indicative of our current loan portfolio and operations, and is a performance metric we consider when declaring our dividends. We also use Distributable Earnings (previously defined as "Core Earnings") to compute the incentive fee due under our management agreement.
Distributable Earnings does not represent net income (loss) or cash generated from operating activities and should not be considered as an alternative to GAAP net income (loss), or an indication of our GAAP cash flows from operations, a measure of our liquidity, taxable income, or an indication of funds available for our cash needs. In addition, our methodology for calculating Distributable Earnings may differ from the methodologies employed by other companies to calculate the same or similar supplemental performance measures, and accordingly, our reported Distributable Earnings may not be comparable to the Distributable Earnings reported by other companies.
As discussed in Note 2 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, consolidation of securitization variable interest entities ("VIEs") results in the elimination of certain key financial statement line items, particularly within revenues and other income, including unrealized changes in fair value of loans and investment securities. These line items are essential to understanding the true financial performance of our business segments and the Company as a whole. For this reason, as referenced in Note 2 to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, we present business segment data in Note 23 without consolidation of these VIEs. This is how we manage our business and is the basis for all data reviewed with our board of directors, investors and analysts. This presentation also allows for a more transparent reconciliation of the unrealized gain (loss) adjustments below to the segment data presented in Note 23.
The weighted average diluted share count applied to Distributable Earnings for purposes of determining Distributable Earnings per share ("EPS") is computed using the GAAP diluted share count, adjusted for the following:
(i)Unvested stock awards - Currently, unvested stock awards are excluded from the denominator of GAAP EPS. The related compensation expense is also excluded from Distributable Earnings. In order to effectuate dilution from these awards in the Distributable Earnings computation, we adjust the GAAP diluted share count to include these shares.
(ii)Convertible Notes - Conversion of our Convertible Notes is an event that is contingent upon numerous factors, none of which are in our control, and is an event that may or may not occur. Consistent with the treatment of other unrealized adjustments to Distributable Earnings, we adjust the GAAP diluted share count to exclude the potential shares issuable upon conversion until a conversion occurs.
(iii)Subsidiary equity - The intent of a February 2018 amendment to our management agreement (the "Amendment") is to treat subsidiary equity in the same manner as if parent equity had been issued. The Class A Units issued in connection with the acquisition of assets in our Woodstar II Portfolio are currently excluded from our GAAP diluted share count, with the subsidiary equity represented as non-controlling interests in consolidated subsidiaries on our GAAP balance sheet. Consistent with the Amendment, we adjust GAAP diluted share count to include these subsidiary units.
The following table presents our diluted weighted average shares used in our GAAP EPS calculation reconciled to our diluted weighted average shares used in our Distributable EPS calculation (amounts in thousands):

As noted above, the definition of Distributable Earnings provides flexibility for management to make additional adjustments, subject to the approval of a majority of our independent directors, when appropriate in order for Distributable Earnings to be calculated in a manner consistent with its definition and objective. As a result of the Fundamental acquisition, we expect that straight-line rent will become a more significant component of our GAAP net income. Given that straight-line rent does not reflect the timing of cash received pursuant to the applicable leases and is not consistent with the determination of taxable income, we are adding an adjustment for straight line rents in the computation of Distributable Earnings. This adjustment was unanimously approved by our independent directors.

Three Months Ended September 30, 2025 Compared to the Three Months Ended June 30, 2025
Commercial and Residential Lending Segment
The Commercial and Residential Lending Segment's Distributable Earnings decreased by $15.2 million, from $174.2 million during the second quarter of 2025 to $159.0 million in the third quarter of 2025. After making adjustments for the calculation of Distributable Earnings, revenues were $349.0 million, costs and expenses were $199.0 million, other income was $9.0 million and there was no income tax provision or benefit.
Revenues, consisting principally of interest income on loans, decreased by $0.8 million in the third quarter of 2025, primarily due to a decrease of $3.2 million in interest income from investment securities, reflecting lower balances due to payoffs, partially offset by an increase in interest income from loans of $2.5 million. The increase in interest income from loans was comprised of a $2.9 million increase from commercial loans, primarily reflecting higher average balances, partially offset by a $0.4 million decrease from residential loans.
Costs and expenses increased by $0.6 million in the third quarter of 2025, primarily due to a $1.1 million increase in interest expense associated with the various secured financing facilities used to fund a portion of this segment's investment portfolio, reflecting higher average borrowings outstanding.
Other income decreased by $13.8 million in the third quarter of 2025, primarily due to (i) the nonrecurrence of a $20.8 million gain on extinguishment of debt in the second quarter of 2025 primarily related to the sale of a foreclosed property and (ii) a $7.9 million decrease in realized gains on derivatives and foreign currency, partially offset by (iii) a $17.9 million favorable change in gain (loss) on sale of investments and other assets
Infrastructure Lending Segment
The Infrastructure Lending Segment's Distributable Earnings increased by $10.8 million, from $20.8 million during the second quarter of 2025 to $31.6 million in the third quarter of 2025. After making adjustments for the calculation of Distributable Earnings, revenues were $77.7 million, costs and expenses were $46.1 million and other loss was nominal.
Revenues increased by $10.5 million in the third quarter of 2025, primarily due to a $10.8 million increase in interest income from loans, reflecting higher prepayment related income and average loan balances.
Costs and expenses increased by $0.4 million in the third quarter of 2025, primarily due to a $2.3 million increase in interest expense, reflecting higher average borrowings outstanding, partially offset by a $1.9 million decrease in other costs and expenses.
Other loss decreased by $0.7 million in the third quarter of 2025, primarily due to the nonrecurrence of a loss on extinguishment of debt in the second quarter of 2025.

The Property Segment's Distributable Earnings increased by $10.3 million, from $17.4 million during the second quarter of 2025 to $27.7 million in the third quarter of 2025. After making adjustments for the calculation of Distributable Earnings, revenues were $46.1 million, costs and expenses were $35.7 million, other income was $21.4 million and the deduction of income attributable to non-controlling interests in the Woodstar Fund was $4.1 million.
Revenues increased by $29.1 million in the third quarter of 2025, primarily due to the acquisition of Fundamental on July 23, 2025.
Costs and expenses increased by $19.4 million in the third quarter of 2025, primarily due to the acquisition of Fundamental.
Other income increased by $0.6 million in the third quarter of 2025, primarily due to the acquisition of Fundamental.
Income attributable to non-controlling interests in the Woodstar Fund was relatively unchanged in the third quarter of 2025.
Investing and Servicing Segment
The Investing and Servicing Segment's Distributable Earnings decreased by $5.0 million, from $51.6 million during the second quarter of 2025 to $46.6 million in the third quarter of 2025. After making adjustments for the calculation of Distributable Earnings, revenues were $70.2 million, costs and expenses were $31.2 million, other income was $9.7 million, there was no income tax provision or benefit, and the deduction of income attributable to non-controlling interests was $2.1 million.
Revenues increased by $9.0 million in the third quarter of 2025, primarily due to a $9.7 million increase in servicing fees principally related to default interest and consent fees.
Costs and expenses decreased by $3.8 million in the third quarter of 2025, primarily due to a $2.5 million decrease in general and administrative expenses, principally related to decreased loan securitization activity, and a $1.0 million decrease in interest expense primarily related to the financing of conduit loan balances.
Other income includes profit realized upon securitization of loans by our conduit business, gains on sales of CMBS and operating properties, gains and losses on derivatives that were either effectively terminated or novated, and earnings from unconsolidated entities. These items are typically offset by a decrease in the fair value of our domestic servicing rights intangible which reflects the expected amortization of this deteriorating asset, net of increases in fair value due to the attainment of new servicing contracts. Derivatives include instruments which hedge interest rate risk and credit risk on our conduit loans and CMBS investments. For GAAP purposes, the loans, CMBS and derivatives are accounted for at fair value, with all changes in fair value (realized or unrealized) recognized in earnings. The adjustments to Distributable Earnings outlined above are also applied to the GAAP earnings of our unconsolidated entities. Other income decreased by $17.9 million in the third quarter of 2025, primarily due to (i) a $5.0 million decrease in realized gains on conduit loans, (ii) a $4.0 million increase in recognized credit losses on CMBS investments, (iii) a $3.5 million unfavorable change in other income (loss), (iv) a $2.5 million decrease in earnings from unconsolidated entities and (v) a $1.5 million unfavorable change in realized gain (loss) on derivatives which primarily hedge our interest rate risk on conduit loans and CMBS investments.
Income attributable to non-controlling interests decreased $0.1 million in the third quarter of 2025.
Corporate
Corporate loss increased by $3.2 million, from $113.0 million during the second quarter of 2025 to $116.2 million in the third quarter of 2025, primarily due to increases of $1.6 million in management fees and $1.0 million in interest expense.

______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
(1)The reconciling items in this section are exactly equivalent to the amounts recognized within GAAP net income (before the consolidation of VIEs), each of which can be agreed back to the respective lines within Note 23 to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. They reflect both unrealized and realized (gains) and losses and, in the case of property sales, include the related gain or loss on extinguishment of debt associated with such sale, if any. For added transparency and consistency of presentation, the entire amount recognized in GAAP income is reversed in this section, and the realized components of these amounts are reflected in the next section entitled "Recognition of Distributable realized gains / (losses)."
(2)Represents the realized portion of GAAP gains (losses) on residential and commercial conduit loans carried under the fair value option that were sold during the period or expected to be sold in the near term subject to a binding agreement. The amount is calculated as the difference between (i) the net proceeds received or expected to be received in connection with a securitization or sale of loans and (ii) such loans' historical cost basis.
(3)Represents loan losses that are deemed nonrecoverable, which is generally upon a realization event, such as when a loan is repaid, or in the case of foreclosure, when the underlying asset is sold. Non-recoverability may also be determined if, in our determination, it is nearly certain that the carrying amounts will not be collected or realized upon sale. The loss amount is calculated as the difference between the cash received or expected to be received and the Distributable Earnings basis of the asset.
(4)Represents the realized portion of GAAP gains (losses) on CMBS and RMBS carried under the fair value option that are sold or impaired during the period. Upon sale, the difference between the cash proceeds received and the historical cost basis of the security is treated as a realized gain or loss for Distributable Earnings purposes. We consider a CMBS or an RMBS credit loss to be realized when such amounts are deemed nonrecoverable. Non-recoverability is generally at the time the underlying assets within the securitization are liquidated, but non-recoverability may also be determined if, in our determination, it is nearly certain that all amounts due will not be collected. The amount is calculated as the difference between the cash received and the historical cost basis of the security.
(5)Represents GAAP income from the Woodstar Fund investments excluding unrealized changes in the fair value of its underlying assets and liabilities. The amount is calculated as the difference between the Woodstar Fund's GAAP net income and its unrealized gains (losses), which represents changes in working capital and actual cash distributions received.
(6)Represents the realized portion of GAAP gains or losses on the termination or settlement of derivatives that are accounted for at fair value. Derivatives are only treated as realized for Distributable Earnings when they are terminated or settled, and cash is exchanged. The amount of cash received or paid to terminate or settle the derivative is the amount treated as realized for Distributable Earnings purposes at the time of such termination or settlement.
(7)Represents the realized portion of foreign currency gains (losses) related to assets and liabilities denominated in a foreign currency. Realization occurs when the foreign currency is converted back to USD. The amount is calculated as the difference between the foreign exchange rate at the time the asset was placed on the balance sheet and the foreign exchange rate at the time cash is received and is offset by any gains or losses on the related foreign currency derivative at settlement.
(8)Represents GAAP earnings (loss) from unconsolidated entities excluding non-cash items and unrealized changes in fair value recorded on the books and records of the unconsolidated entities. The difference between GAAP and Distributable Earnings for these entities principally relates to depreciation and unrealized changes in the fair value of mortgage loans and securities.
(9)Represents the realized gain (loss) on sales of properties held at depreciated cost. Because depreciation is a non-cash expense that is excluded from Distributable Earnings, GAAP gains upon sale of a property are higher, and GAAP losses are lower, than the respective realized amounts reflected in Distributable Earnings. The amount is calculated as net sales proceeds less undepreciated cost, adjusted for any noncontrolling interest and any realized gain or loss on extinguishment of debt.
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2025 Compared to the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2024
Commercial and Residential Lending Segment
The Commercial and Residential Lending Segment's Distributable Earnings decreased by $72.0 million, from $584.0 million during the nine months of 2024 to $512.0 million in the nine months of 2025. After making adjustments for the calculation of Distributable Earnings, revenues were $1.0 billion, costs and expenses were $580.4 million, other income was $61.7 million and there was no income tax provision or benefit.
Revenues, consisting principally of interest income on loans, decreased by $195.4 million in the nine months of 2025, primarily due to decreases in interest income from loans of $178.2 million and investment securities of $29.4 million, partially offset by an $8.9 million increase in rental income from foreclosed properties. The decrease in interest income from loans reflects (i) a $171.4 million decrease from commercial loans, reflecting lower average index rates and spreads, additional loans placed on nonaccrual, lower prepayment related income and lower average balances, and (ii) a $6.8 million decrease from residential loans principally due to lower average balances. The decrease in interest income from investment securities was primarily due to lower average commercial investment balances due to repayments.
Costs and expenses decreased by $133.4 million in the nine months of 2025, primarily due to a $134.4 million decrease in interest expense associated with the various secured financing facilities used to fund a portion of this segment's investment portfolio, reflecting lower average borrowings outstanding due to paydowns from net loan repayments and excess cash balances and the effect of lower average index rates.
Other income decreased by $10.0 million in the nine months of 2025, primarily due to (i) a $29.0 million decrease in realized gains on derivative financial instruments, net of related foreign currency gains (losses) and (ii) a $15.9 million net loss on sale of investments and other assets, partially offset by (iii) a $20.6 million increased gain on extinguishment of debt primarily related to the sale of a foreclosed property in the nine months of 2025, (iv) a $12.2 million decrease in recognized credit losses on RMBS investments and residential loans and (v) a $3.8 million decrease in other loss.
Infrastructure Lending Segment
The Infrastructure Lending Segment's Distributable Earnings increased by $5.6 million, from $66.9 million during the nine months of 2024 to $72.5 million in the nine months of 2025. After making adjustments for the calculation of Distributable Earnings, revenues were $206.5 million, costs and expenses were $133.1 million and other loss was $0.9 million.
Revenues increased by $8.9 million in the nine months of 2025, primarily due to an $8.6 million increase in interest income from loans, reflecting higher average balances and prepayment related income, partially offset by the effects of lower average index rates and spreads.
Costs and expenses increased by $3.0 million in the nine months of 2025, primarily due to (i) a $4.1 million increase in general, administrative and other expenses and (ii) a $0.4 million increase in interest expense, reflecting higher average borrowings outstanding, partially offset by lower average index rates, partially offset by (ii) the nonrecurrence of a $1.5 million recognized credit loss in the nine months of 2024.
Other loss increased by $0.3 million in the nine months of 2025.

The Property Segment's Distributable Earnings decreased by $25.7 million, from $87.1 million during the nine months of 2024 to $61.4 million in the nine months of 2025. After making adjustments for the calculation of Distributable Earnings, revenues were $80.1 million, costs and expenses were $68.4 million, other income was $61.6 million and the deduction of income attributable to non-controlling interests in the Woodstar Fund was $11.9 million.
Revenues increased by $25.4 million in the nine months of 2025, primarily due to the acquisition of Fundamental on July 23, 2025, the effect of which was partially offset by the sale of our Master Lease Portfolio on February 29, 2024.
Costs and expenses increased by $6.6 million in the nine months of 2025, primarily due to (i) the acquisition of Fundamental on July 23, 2025, the effect of which was partially offset by (ii) an $11.4 million decrease in interest expense on variable rate borrowings of the Medical Office Portfolio, reflecting lower refinanced balances and index rates, and (iii) the sale of our Master Lease Portfolio on February 29, 2024.
Other income decreased by $42.6 million in the nine months of 2025, primarily due to the nonrecurrence of a $37.4 million net gain on sale of our Master Lease Portfolio and $14.2 million of realized gains on derivatives which primarily hedged our interest rate risk on borrowings secured by our Medical Office Portfolio, both of which were in the nine months of 2024, partially offset by a $9.0 million increase in distributable income from the Woodstar Fund.
Income attributable to non-controlling interests in the Woodstar Fund increased $1.9 million in the second half of 2025.
Investing and Servicing Segment
The Investing and Servicing Segment's Distributable Earnings increased by $73.5 million from $74.3 million during the nine months of 2024 to $147.8 million in the nine months of 2025. After making adjustments for the calculation of Distributable Earnings, revenues were $205.6 million, costs and expenses were $99.1 million, other income was $49.0 million, there was no income tax provision or benefit, and the deduction of income attributable to non-controlling interests was $7.7 million.
Revenues increased by $29.8 million in the nine months of 2025, primarily due to a $20.3 million increase in servicing fees principally related to default interest and an $8.7 million increase in interest income from CMBS investments, primarily due to higher interest recoveries. The treatment of CMBS interest income on a GAAP basis is complicated by our application of the ASC 810 consolidation rules. In an attempt to treat these securities similar to our other investment securities, we compute distributable interest income pursuant to an effective yield methodology. In doing so, we segregate the portfolio into various categories based on the components of the bonds' cash flows and the volatility related to each of these components. We then accrete interest income on an effective yield basis using the components of cash flows that are reliably estimable. Other minor adjustments are made to reflect management's expectations for other components of the projected cash flow stream.
Costs and expenses decreased by $4.4 million in the nine months of 2025, primarily due to a $4.2 million decrease in interest expense principally related to the financing of conduit loan balances .
Other income increased by $35.1 million in the nine months of 2025, primarily due to (i) a $23.4 million decrease in recognized credit losses on CMBS, (ii) an $8.6 million increase in earnings from unconsolidated entities and (iii) a $7.3 million favorable change in fair value of servicing rights, partially offset by (iv) the nonrecurrence of $4.6 million of gains on sale of an operating property and certain CMBS investments in the nine months of 2024.
Income attributable to non-controlling interests decreased $4.2 million in the nine months of 2025, primarily due to the nonrecurrence of $2.9 million of non-controlling interests in the gain on sale of an operating property in the nine months of 2024.
Corporate
Corporate loss increased by $33.6 million, from $304.0 million during the nine months of 2024 to $337.6 million in the nine months of 2025, primarily due to (i) a $36.1 million increase in interest expense reflecting higher average balances of unsecured senior notes and secured term loans outstanding, partially offset by lower spreads and index rates on the secured term loans, and (ii) a $5.5 million increase in management fees, partially offset by (iii) a $10.3 million lower realized loss on fixed-to-floating interest rate swaps which hedge a portion of our unsecured senior notes.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Liquidity is a measure of our ability to meet our cash requirements, including ongoing commitments to repay borrowings, fund and maintain our assets and operations, make new investments where appropriate, pay dividends to our stockholders, and other general business needs. We closely monitor our liquidity position and believe that we have sufficient current liquidity and access to additional liquidity to meet our financial obligations for at least the next 12 months. Our strategy for managing liquidity and capital resources has not changed since December 31, 2024. Refer to our Form 10-K for a description of these strategies.
Sources of Liquidity
Our primary sources of liquidity are as follows:

The discussion below is on a non-GAAP basis, after removing adjustments principally resulting from the consolidation of the securitization VIEs under ASC 810. These adjustments principally relate to (i) the purchase of CMBS, RMBS, loans and real estate from consolidated VIEs, which are reflected as repayments of VIE debt on a GAAP basis and (ii) sales, principal collections and redemptions of CMBS and RMBS related to consolidated VIEs, which are reflected as VIE distributions on a GAAP basis. There is no net impact to overall cash resulting from these consolidations. Refer to Note 2 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion.
Cash and cash equivalents decreased by $15.1 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2025, reflecting net cash used in investing activities of $3.0 billion, offset by net cash provided by financing activities of $2.5 billion and net cash provided by operating activities of $489.1 million.
Net cash provided by operating activities of $489.1 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 related primarily to cash interest income of $1.0 billion from our loans and $118.6 million from our investment securities. Other cash inflows included distributions from our affordable housing fund investments of $221.0 million (including $178.0 million of excess proceeds from mortgage debt refinancing), sales and principal collections, net of originations and purchases of loans held-for-sale of $83.6 million, net rental income of $70.6 million, servicing fees of $69.5 million and receipts from our interest rate derivatives of $21.8 million. Offsetting these cash inflows was cash interest expense of $870.6 million and general and administrative expenses of $236.5 million.
Net cash used in investing activities of $3.0 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 related primarily to the origination and acquisition of loans held-for-investment of $6.1 billion, net cash paid in Fundamental merger of $878.5 million, purchase and funding of investment securities of $91.6 million and purchases and additions to properties and other assets of $63.4 million. Offsetting these cash outflows was proceeds received from principal collections and sale of loans held-for-investment of $3.5 billion and investment securities of $412.8 million, proceeds from the sale of an interest in an unconsolidated entity of $69.8 million and proceeds from the sale of real estate of $60.5 million.
Net cash provided by financing activities of $2.5 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 related primarily to borrowings on our debt, net of repayments and deferred loan costs, of $2.5 billion and proceeds from issuances of common stock of $567.3 million. Offsetting these cash inflows was dividend distributions of $490.6 million.

__________________________________________
(1)First mortgages include first mortgage loans and any contiguous mezzanine loan components because as a whole, the expected credit quality of these loans is more similar to that of a first mortgage loan. The application of this methodology resulted in mezzanine loans with carrying values of $1.3 billion and $0.9 billion being classified as first mortgages as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.
(2)Subordinated mortgages include B-Notes and junior participation in first mortgages where we do not own the senior A-Note or senior participation. If we own both the A-Note and B-Note, we categorize the loan as a first mortgage loan.
(3)Eliminated in consolidation against VIE liabilities pursuant to ASC 810.
(4)CMBS held-to-maturity ("HTM") and mandatorily redeemable preferred equity interests in commercial real estate entities.
(5)Represents the weighted average coupon of residential mortgage loans.
(6)Calculated using applicable index rates for variable rate investments as of the respective period end and excludes loans for which interest income is not recognized. In addition to cash coupon, unlevered return includes the amortization of deferred origination and extension fees, loan origination costs, and purchase discounts, as well as the accrual of exit fees.
As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, our Commercial and Residential Lending Segment's investment portfolio, excluding residential loans, RMBS, properties and other investments, had the following characteristics based on carrying values:

(1)Shortfall primarily relates to (i) $521.8 million of repayments under a Residential Loans repurchase facility which we have historically extended and intend to extend with lender's consent and (ii) $400.0 million of our unsecured senior notes that mature in July 2026 that we intend to repay with funds generated in the normal course of business.
In the normal course of business, the Company is in discussions with its lenders to extend, amend or replace any financing facilities which contain near term expirations.
Issuances of Equity Securities
We may raise funds through capital market transactions by issuing capital stock. There can be no assurance, however, that we will be able to access the capital markets at any particular time or on any particular terms. We have authorized 100,000,000 shares of preferred stock and 500,000,000 shares of common stock. At September 30, 2025, we had 100,000,000 shares of preferred stock available for issuance and 129,683,551 shares of common stock available for issuance.
Other Potential Sources of Financing
In the future, we may also use other sources of financing to fund the acquisition of our target assets and maturities of our unsecured senior notes, including other secured as well as unsecured forms of borrowing and sale of senior loan interests and other assets.
Leverage Policies
Our strategies with regards to use of leverage have not changed significantly since December 31, 2024. Refer to our Form 10-K for a description of our strategies regarding use of leverage.
Cash Requirements
Dividends
U.S. federal income tax law generally requires that a REIT distribute annually at least 90% of its REIT taxable income, without regard to the deduction for dividends paid and excluding net capital gains, and that it pay tax at regular corporate rates to the extent that it annually distributes less than 100% of its net taxable income. We generally intend to distribute substantially all of our taxable income (which does not necessarily equal our GAAP net income) to our stockholders each year, if and to the extent authorized by our board of directors. Before we pay any dividend, whether for U.S. federal income tax purposes or otherwise, we must first meet both our operating and debt service requirements. If our cash available for distribution is less than our net taxable income, we could be required to sell assets or borrow funds to make cash distributions or we may make a portion of the required distribution in the form of a taxable stock distribution or distribution of debt securities. Refer to Note 17 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and our Form 10-K for a detailed dividend history.

(a)Represents the contractual maturity of the respective credit facility, inclusive of available extension options. If investments that have been pledged as collateral repay earlier than the contractual maturity of the debt, the related portion of the debt would likewise require earlier repayment. Refer to Note 10 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the expected maturities by year.
(b)Represents the fully extended maturity of the underlying collateral.
(c)Excludes $199.7 million of loan funding commitments in which management projects the Company will not be obligated to fund in the future due to repayments made by the borrower earlier than, or in excess of, expectations.
(d)Represents contractual commitments of $231.0 million under revolvers and letters of credit, $167.9 million under delayed draw term loans and $50.5 million of outstanding infrastructure loan purchase commitments.
(e)Represents future construction funding commitments in our Property Segment related to development projects which have estimated rental revenue commencement dates between October 2025 and August 2027.
The table above does not include interest payable, amounts due under our management agreement, amounts due under our derivative agreements or amounts due under guarantees as those contracts do not have fixed and determinable payments.
Our secured financings and the CLO and SASB portions of our securitized financing consist primarily of matched-term funding for our loans and investment securities and long-term mortgages on our owned properties. Repayments of such facilities are generally made from proceeds from maturities, prepayments or sales of such investments and operating cash flows from owned properties. In the normal course of business, we are in discussions with our lenders to extend, amend or replace any financing facilities which contain near term expirations. The ABS securitized financing of Fundamental's properties is expected to be refinanced with similar ABS financing at or prior to its respective maturity.
Our unsecured senior notes are expected to be repaid from a combination of available cash on hand, approved but undrawn capacity under our secured financing agreements, and/or equity issuances or other potential sources of financing, as discussed above, including issuances of new unsecured senior notes.
Our future loan commitments are expected to be primarily matched-term funded under secured financing agreements with any difference funded from available cash on hand or other potential sources of financing discussed above.
Critical Accounting Estimates
Refer to the section of our Form 10-K entitled "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations-Critical Accounting Estimates" for a full discussion of our critical accounting estimates. Our critical accounting estimates have not materially changed since December 31, 2024.
Recent Accounting Developments
Refer to Note 2 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for a discussion of recent accounting developments and the expected impact to the Company.
