Forward-Looking Statements

The information contained in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q is not a complete description of our business or the risks associated with an investment in Arbor Realty Trust, Inc. We urge you to carefully review and consider the various disclosures in this report, as well as information in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2022~~2023 (the ~~“2022~~“2023 Annual Report”) filed with the ~~SEC~~Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on February ~~17, 2023~~20, 2024 and in our other reports and filings with the SEC.

This report contains certain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such forward-looking statements relate to, among other things, the operating performance of our investments and financing needs. We use words such as “anticipate,” “expect,” “believe,” “intend,” “should,” “could,” “will,” “may” and similar expressions to identify forward-looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements include these words. Forward-looking statements are based on certain assumptions, discuss future expectations, describe future plans and strategies, contain projections of results of operations or of financial condition or state other forward-looking information. Our ability to predict results or the actual effect of future plans or strategies is inherently uncertain. These forward-looking statements involve risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results in future periods to differ materially from forecasted results. Factors that could have a material adverse effect on our operations and future prospects include, but are not limited to, changes in economic, macroeconomic and geopolitical conditions generally, and the real estate market specifically, in particular, due to the severity and duration of the novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic; the potential impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business, results of operations and financial condition;specifically; adverse changes in our status with government-sponsored enterprises affecting our ability to originate loans through such programs; changes in interest rates; the quality and size of the investment pipeline and the rate at which we can invest our cash; impairments in the value of the collateral underlying our loans and investments; inflation; changes in federal and state laws and regulations, including changes in tax laws; the availability and cost of capital for future investments; and competition. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on any of these forward-looking statements, which reflect our views as of the date of this report. The factors noted above could cause our actual results to differ significantly from those contained in any forward-looking statement.

Although we believe the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements. We are under no duty to update any of the forward-looking statements after the date of this report to conform these statements to actual results.

ARBOR REALTY TRUST, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

Note 1 — Description of Business

Arbor Realty Trust, Inc. (“we,” “us,” or “our”) is a Maryland corporation formed in 2003. We are a nationwide real estate investment trust (“REIT”) and direct lender, providing loan origination and servicing for commercial real estate assets. We operate through two business segments: our Structured Loan Origination and Investment Business, or “Structured Business,” and our Agency Loan Origination and Servicing Business, or “Agency Business.”

Through our Structured Business, we invest in a diversified portfolio of structured finance assets in the multifamily, single-family rental (“SFR”) and commercial real estate markets, primarily consisting of bridge loans, in addition to mezzanine loans, junior participating interests in first mortgages and preferred and direct equity. We also invest in real estate-related joint ventures and may directly acquire real property and invest in real estate-related notes and certain mortgage-related securities.

Through our Agency Business, we originate, sell and service a range of multifamily finance products through the Federal National Mortgage Association (“Fannie Mae”) and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“Freddie Mac,” and together with Fannie Mae, the government-sponsored enterprises, or “GSEs”), the Government National Mortgage Association (“Ginnie Mae”), Federal Housing Authority (“FHA”) and the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (together with Ginnie Mae and FHA, “HUD”). We retain the servicing rights and asset management responsibilities on substantially all loans we originate and sell under the GSE and HUD programs. We are an approved Fannie Mae Delegated Underwriting and Servicing (“DUS”) lender nationally, a Freddie Mac Multifamily Conventional Loan lender, seller/servicer in New York, New Jersey and Connecticut, a Freddie Mac affordable, manufactured housing, senior housing and small balance loan (“SBL”) lender, seller/servicer nationally and a HUD MAP and LEAN senior housing/healthcare lender nationally. We also originate and ~~service~~retain the servicing rights on permanent financing loans underwritten using the guidelines of our existing agency loans sold to the GSEs, which we refer to as “Private Label” loans and originate and sell finance products through ~~conduit/commercial mortgage-backed securities (“CMBS”)~~CMBS programs. We either sell the Private Label loans instantaneously or pool and securitize ~~the Private Label loans~~them and sell certificates in the securitizations to ~~third-party~~third party investors, while retaining ~~the servicing rights and~~ the highest risk bottom tranche certificate of the ~~securitization (“APL certificates”).~~

securitization.

Substantially all of our operations are conducted through our operating partnership, Arbor Realty Limited Partnership (“ARLP”), for which we serve as the indirect general partner, and ARLP’s subsidiaries. We are organized to qualify as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes. A REIT is generally not subject to federal income tax on that portion of its REIT-taxable income that is distributed to its stockholders, provided that at least 90% of taxable income is distributed and provided that certain other requirements are met. Certain of our assets that produce non-qualifying REIT income, primarily within the Agency Business, are operated through taxable REIT subsidiaries (“TRS”), which are part of our TRS consolidated group (the “TRS Consolidated Group”) and are subject to U.S. federal, state and local income taxes. In general, our TRS entities may hold assets that the REIT cannot hold directly and may engage in real estate or non-real estate-related business.

Note 2 — Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”), for interim financial statements and the instructions to Form 10-Q. Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the consolidated financial statements prepared under GAAP have been condensed or omitted. In our opinion, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of our financial position, results of operations and cash flows have been included and are of a normal and recurring nature. The operating results presented for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the entire year. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and notes thereto included in our ~~2022~~2023 Annual Report.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include our financial statements and the financial statements of our wholly owned subsidiaries, partnerships and other entities in which we own a controlling interest, including variable interest entities (“VIEs”) of which we are the primary beneficiary. Entities in which we have a significant influence are accounted for under the equity method. Our VIEs are described in Note 14. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

~~NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)~~

Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that could materially affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The ongoing effects of the COVID-19 pandemic have caused significant disruptions to the U.S. and global economies. Although vaccine availability and usage have continued to increase, which has led to less negative short-term effects, such as travel bans, quarantines, layoffs and shutdowns, the ongoing longer-term macroeconomic effects on inflation, interest rates, capital markets, labor shortages, property values and global supply chains continue to negatively impact many industries, including the U.S. commercial real estate market. In addition, new strains of COVID-19 continue to emerge, which may cause governments and businesses to re-impose aggressive measures to help slow its spread, making the future impact difficult to predict. The ultimate impact of ~~COVID-19 on the economy, including rising~~ inflation, increasing interest rates, bank failures, tightening of capital markets and reduced property values, both globally and to our business, makes any estimate or assumption at March 31, ~~2023~~2024 inherently less certain.

~~Reclassification~~

~~Certain amounts in the prior period financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the presentation~~Table of ~~the current period financial statements.~~

~~Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements~~

~~Description~~		~~Adoption Date~~		~~Effect on Financial Statements~~
In March 2022, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2022-02, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures. This guidance eliminates the accounting guidance on troubled debt restructurings and amends existing disclosures, including the requirment to disclose current period gross write-offs by year of origination. The guidance also updates the requirements related to accounting for credit losses and adds enhanced disclosures for creditors with respect to loan refinancings and restructurings for borrowers experiencing financial difficulty.		~~First quarter of 2023~~		~~The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.~~

(3)The “First Dollar Loan-to-Value (“LTV”) Ratio” is calculated by comparing the total of our senior most dollar and all senior lien positions within the capital stack to the fair value of the underlying collateral to determine the point at which we will absorb a total loss of our position.

(4)The “Last Dollar LTV Ratio” is calculated by comparing the total of the carrying value of our loan and all senior lien positions within the capital stack to the fair value of the underlying collateral to determine the point at which we will initially absorb a loss.

(5)At March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, bridge loans included 389 and 354, respectively, of SFR loans with a total gross loan commitment of $3.21 billion and $2.86 billion, respectively, of which $1.45 billion and $1.32 billion, respectively, was funded.

Concentration of Credit Risk

We are subject to concentration risk in that, at both March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the UPB related to ~~84 loans with five different borrowers represented 11% of total assets. At December~~ 31 ~~2022, the UPB related to 38~~ loans with five different borrowers represented 11% of total assets. During ~~both~~ the three months ended March 31, ~~2023~~2024 and the year ended December 31, ~~2022,~~2023, no single loan or investment represented more than 10% of our total assets and no single investor group generated over 10% of our revenue. See Note 17 for details on our concentration of related party loans and investments.

~~Table of Contents~~

~~ARBOR REALTY TRUST, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES~~

~~NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)~~

We assign a credit risk rating of pass, pass/watch, special mention, substandard or doubtful to each loan and investment, with a pass rating being the lowest risk and a doubtful rating being the highest risk. Each credit risk rating has benchmark guidelines that pertain to debt-service coverage ratios, LTV ratios, borrower strength, asset quality, and funded cash reserves. Other factors such as guarantees, market strength, and remaining loan term and borrower equity are also reviewed and factored into determining the credit risk rating assigned to each loan. This metric provides a helpful snapshot of portfolio quality and credit risk. All portfolio assets are subject to, at a minimum, a thorough quarterly financial evaluation in which historical operating performance and forward-looking projections are reviewed, however, we maintain a higher level of scrutiny and focus on loans that we consider “high risk” and that possess deteriorating credit quality.

Generally speaking, given our typical loan profile, risk ratings of pass, pass/watch and special mention suggest that we expect the loan to make both principal and interest payments according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. A risk rating of substandard indicates we anticipate the loan may require a modification of some kind. A risk rating of doubtful indicates we expect the loan to underperform over its term, and there could be loss of interest and/or principal. Further, while the above are the primary guidelines used in determining a certain risk rating, subjective items such as borrower strength, market strength or asset quality may result in a rating that is higher or lower than might be indicated by any risk rating matrix.

During the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, we recorded a $17.8 million and a $20.5 million provision for credit losses on our structured portfolio, respectively. The ~~increase in the~~additional provision for credit losses during the three months ended March 31, ~~2023 of $20.5 million~~2024 was primarily attributable to specifically impaired multifamily loans and the impact from the macroeconomic outlook of the commercial real estate market. Our estimate of allowance for credit losses on our structured ~~loans and investments,~~portfolio, including related unfunded loan commitments, was based on a reasonable and supportable forecast period that reflects recent observable data, including an increase in interest rates, higher unemployment forecasts, and ~~rising inflation,~~continuing inflationary pressures, including an estimated continual decline in real estate values and other market factors.

The expected credit losses over the contractual period of our loans also include the obligation to extend credit through our unfunded loan commitments. Our current expected credit loss (“CECL”) allowance for unfunded loan commitments is adjusted quarterly and corresponds with the associated outstanding loans. At March 31, ~~2023~~2024 and December 31, ~~2022,~~2023, we had outstanding unfunded commitments of ~~$1.05~~$1.59 billion and ~~$1.15~~$1.31 billion, respectively, that we are obligated to fund as borrowers meet certain requirements.

At March 31, ~~2023~~2024 and December 31, ~~2022,~~2023, accrued interest receivable related to our loans totaling ~~$112.8~~$131.0 million and ~~$108.5~~$124.2 million, respectively, was excluded from the estimate of credit losses and is included in other assets on the consolidated balance sheets.

All of our structured loans and investments are secured by real estate assets or by interests in real estate assets, and, as such, the measurement of credit losses may be based on the difference between the fair value of the underlying collateral and the carrying value of the assets as of the period end.

~~(1)~~

~~Represents the UPB of eight and seven impaired loans (less unearned revenue and other holdbacks and adjustments) by asset class at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.~~

There were no loans for which the fair value of the collateral securing the loan was less than the carrying value of the loan for which we had not recorded a provision for credit loss at March 31, ~~2023~~2024 and December 31, ~~2022.~~

~~At both March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, four loans with an aggregate net carrying value of $2.6 million, net of related loan loss reserves of $5.1 million, were~~2023.

Non-performing Loans

Loans are classified as ~~non-performing.~~non-performing once the contractual payments exceed 60 days past due. Income from non-performing loans is generally recognized on a cash basis when it is received. Full income recognition will resume when the loan becomes contractually current, and performance has recommenced.

At March 31, 2024, twenty-one loans with an aggregate net carrying value of $406.1 million, net of loan loss reserves of $32.9 million, were classified as non-performing and, at December 31, 2023, sixteen loans with an aggregate net carrying value of $235.6 million, net of related loan loss reserves of $27.1 million, were classified as non-performing.

A summary of our non-performing loans by asset class is as follows (in thousands):

Other Non-accrued Loans

In this challenging economic environment, we have recently experienced late and partial payments on certain loans in our structured portfolio. At March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, these loans included twelve and twenty-four multifamily bridge loans with a total UPB of $489.4 million and $956.9 million, respectively, that were 60 days or less past due. We are recognizing income on these loans only to the extent cash is received. This decrease was due to $174.9 million of loans progressing to greater than 60 days past due and $712.9 million of loans that were modified and are now performing in accordance with the terms of their modifications, including bringing the loans current by paying past due interest owed (see Loan Modifications section below), partially offset by an additional $420.3 million of loans in the first quarter of 2024 that are now less than 60 days past due and are recently experiencing late and partial payments.

ARBOR REALTY TRUST, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

At both March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we had no loans contractually past due 90 days or more that are still accruing interest. During the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, we recorded $8.7 million and $0.6 million, respectively, of interest income on non-accrual loans.

In addition, we have six loans with a carrying value totaling $121.4 million at March 31, ~~2023,~~2024, that are collateralized by a land development project. The loans do not carry a current pay rate of interest, however, five of the loans with a carrying value totaling ~~$112.0~~$112.1 million entitle us to a weighted average accrual rate of interest of 7.91%. In 2008, we suspended the recording of the accrual rate of interest on these loans, as they were impaired and we deemed the collection of this interest to be doubtful. At both March 31, ~~2023~~2024 and December 31, ~~2022,~~2023, we had a cumulative allowance for credit losses of $71.4 million related to these loans. The loans are subject to certain risks associated with a development project including, but not limited to, availability of construction financing, increases in projected construction costs, demand for the development’s outputs upon completion of the project, and litigation risk. Additionally, these loans were not classified as non-performing as the borrower is compliant with all of the terms and conditions of the loans.

Loan Modifications

We may amend or modify loans that involve other-than-insignificant payment delays and provide interest rate reductions and/or extend the maturity dates for borrowers experiencing financial difficulty based on specific facts and circumstances. All of the below modified loans were performing pursuant to their contractual terms at March 31, 2024.

During the first quarter of 2024, we modified twenty-three multifamily bridge loans with a total UPB of $1.07 billion. These loans contained interest rates with pricing over SOFR ranging from 3.25% to 4.25% and maturities between April 2024 to August 2025. As part of the modification of these loans, borrowers invested additional capital to recapitalize their projects in exchange for temporary rate relief, which we provided through a pay and accrual feature. The capital invested by the borrowers was in the form of either, or a combination of: (1) additional deposits into interest and/or renovation reserves; (2) the purchase of a new rate cap; (3) a principal paydown of the loan and (4) bringing any delinquent loans current by paying past due interest owed. In each case, we reduced the pay rate and deferred the remaining portion of the foregoing interest until payoff. The pay rates were amended to either SOFR, a spread over SOFR or a fixed rate, with the balance of the interest due under the original loan terms being deferred. At March 31, 2024, these modified loans had a weighted average pay rate of 6.95% and a weighted average accrual rate of 1.86%. These modified loans included: (1) loans totaling $712.9 million that were less than 60 days past due at December 31, 2023; (2) two specifically impaired loans with a total loan loss reserve of $7.0 million and a total UPB of $49.6 million; and (3) fifteen loans with a total UPB of $671.0 million that were extended between twelve and thirty months.

During the first quarter of 2024, we also modified sixteen multifamily bridge loans with a total UPB of $692.8 million. The modification terms required the borrowers to invest additional capital in the form of either, or a combination of: (1) additional deposits into interest and/or renovation reserves; (2) the purchase of a new rate cap; (3) a principal paydown of the loan; and (4) bringing any delinquent loans current by paying past due interest owed. The modifications on eleven of these loans with a total UPB of $456.5 million included extensions between two and nineteen months.

As of March 31, 2024, we had future funding commitments on modified loans with borrowers experiencing financial difficulty of $28.0 million, which are generally subject to performance covenants that must be met by the borrower to receive funding.

In the fourth quarter of 2023, we modified an $86.9 million multifamily bridge loan with an interest rate of SOFR plus 4.25% and a maturity in November 2023 to: (1) change the pay rate of interest to SOFR plus available cash flow which has approximated $0.5 million per month, and (2) extend the maturity oneyear. The remaining interest will be deferred to payoff.

In the fourth quarter of 2023, we modified three multifamily bridge loans with a total UPB of $241.0 million, interest rates over SOFR ranging from 4.00% to 4.30% and maturities between October 2024 to January 2025 to: (1) defer a portion of the foregoing interest ranging from 2.00% to 2.15% to payoff; and (2) extend the maturity of each loan by one year. We also agreed to waive 25% of the deferred interest if the loans are paid off by the extended maturity dates.

In the fourth quarter of 2023, we converted a first mortgage loan and a preferred equity investment in an office building to a common equity investment, which is included in other assets in our consolidated balance sheets. On the date of the conversion, the investment had a net carrying value of $37.1 million, net of an $8.0 million reserve. Upon conversion, we recognized a $2.3 million loan loss recovery as a result of the fair value of the property exceeding the carrying value of our loan and preferred equity investment. We intend to convert the building to residential condominiums.

In the second quarter of 2023, a borrower of a $70.5 million multifamily bridge loan, with an interest rate of SOFR plus 3.40% and a maturity date of September 2024, defaulted on its interest payments and, as a result, this loan was classified as a non-performing loan. In September 2023, the borrower sold the underlying property to a third party who assumed our loan. At the time of the property sale, we entered into a loan modification agreement with the new borrower to extend the maturity to September 2025 and reduce the interest rate to

The new borrower was also required to fund $10.5 million over time: $2.5 million in interest reserves, which was funded at the closing of the loan assumption, and ~~2022, we received $0.6~~$8.0 million in capital improvements within fifteen months.

Given the transitional nature of some of our real estate loans, we may require funds to be placed into an interest reserve, based on contractual requirements, to cover debt service costs. At March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, we had total interest reserves of $118.0 million and $123.7 million, respectively, on 479 loans and 480 loans, respectively, with an aggregate UPB of $7.48 billion and $7.70 billion, respectively.

~~Subsequent Event~~

Loan Sales

In April 2023, we exercised our right to foreclose on a group of properties in Houston, Texas that are the underlying collateral for four bridge loans with a total UPB of $217.4 ~~million at March 31, 2023.~~million. We simultaneously sold these properties to a significant equity investor in the original bridge loans and provided new bridge loan financing as part of the sale. We did not record a loss on the original bridge loans and recovered all the outstanding interest owed to us as part of this restructuring.

Interest Reserves

Given the transitional nature of some of our real estate loans, we may require funds to be placed into an interest reserve, based on contractual requirements, to cover debt service costs. At March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we had total interest reserves of $167.6 million and $156.1 million, respectively, on 572 loans and 537 loans, respectively, with a total UPB of $8.47 billion and $8.44 billion, respectively.

Note 4 — Loans Held-for-Sale, Net

Included in the total loans sold in the first quarters of 2023 and 2022 were $159.9 million and $489.3 million, respectively, of Private Label loans that were sold to unconsolidated affiliates. In connection with the Private Label loans sold in the first quarter of 2022, which were securitized by the purchaser, we retained the most subordinate class of certificates in this securitization totaling $43.4 million in satisfaction of credit risk retention requirements (see Note 7 for details), and we are also the primary servicer of the mortgage loans.

During 2022, we recorded a net impairment loss of $5.2 million ~~(net of corresponding swap gains associated with these loans)~~ on seven Private Label loans with a UPB of $129.9 million and a net carrying value of $116.4 million. During the first quarter of 2023, we sold these impaired loans above the net carrying value and recorded a gain of $0.9 million.

At March 31, ~~2023~~2024 and December 31, ~~2022,~~2023, there were no loans held-for-sale that were 90 days or more past due, and there were no loans held-for-sale that were placed on a non-accrual status.

Note 7 — Securities Held-to-Maturity

Agency Private Label Certificates (“APL certificates”). In connection with our Private Label securitizations, we retain the most subordinate class of the APL certificates in satisfaction of credit risk retention requirements. At March 31, ~~2023,~~2024, we ~~retained~~held APL certificates with an initial face value of $192.8 million, which were purchased at a discount for $119.0 million. These certificates are collateralized by 5-year to 10-year fixed rate first mortgage loans on multifamily properties, bear interest at an initial weighted average variable rate of 3.94% and have an estimated weighted average remaining maturity of ~~7.30~~7.1 years. The weighted average effective interest rate was ~~8.85%~~8.84% at ~~both~~ March 31, ~~2023~~2024 and 8.85% atDecember 31, ~~2022,~~2023, including the accretion of a portion of the discount deemed collectible. ~~Approximately $6.7~~At March 31, 2024, $192.8 million is ~~estimated to mature after one year through five years and $186.1 million is estimated to mature after~~maturing within five years through ~~ten~~10 years.

Agency B Piece Bonds. Freddie Mac may choose to hold, sell or securitize loans we sell to them under the Freddie Mac SBL program. As part of the securitizations under the SBL program, we have the ability to purchase the B Piece bond through a bidding process, which represents the bottom 10%, or highest risk, of the securitization. At March 31, ~~2023,~~2024, we ~~retained~~held 49%, or $106.2 million initial face value, of seven B Piece bonds, which were previously purchased at a discount for $74.7 million, and sold the remaining 51% to a third party. These securities are collateralized by a pool of multifamily mortgage loans, bear interest at an initial weighted average variable rate of 3.74% and have an estimated weighted average remaining maturity of ~~6.0~~13.9 years. The weighted average effective interest rate was ~~11.43%~~11.26% and ~~12.20%~~11.28% at March 31, ~~2023~~2024 and December 31, ~~2022,~~2023, respectively, including the accretion of a portion of the discount deemed collectible. ~~Approximately $7.3~~At March 31, 2024, $37.7 million is estimated to mature within one year, $15.8 million is estimated to mature after one year through five years, $0.4 million is estimated to mature after five years through ten years and $16.3 million is estimated to maturematuring after ten years.

Debt Covenants

Credit and Repurchase Facilities and Unsecured Debt. The credit and repurchase facilities and unsecured debt (senior and convertible notes) contain various financial covenants, including, but not limited to, minimum liquidity requirements, minimum net worth requirements, minimum unencumbered asset requirements, as well as certain other debt service coverage ratios, debt to equity ratios and minimum servicing portfolio tests. We were in compliance with all financial covenants and restrictions at March 31, ~~2023.~~

2024.

CLOs. Our CLO vehicles contain interest coverage and asset overcollateralization covenants that must be met as of the waterfall distribution date in order for us to receive such payments. If we fail these covenants in any of our CLOs, all cash flows from the applicable CLO would be diverted to repay principal and interest on the outstanding CLO bonds and we would not receive any residual payments until that CLO regained compliance with such tests. Our CLOs were in compliance with all such covenants at March 31, ~~2023,~~2024, as well as on the most recent determination dates in April ~~2023.~~2024. In the event of a breach of the CLO covenants that could not be cured in the near-term, we would be required to fund our non-CLO expenses, including employee costs, distributions required to maintain our REIT status, debt costs, and other expenses with (1) cash on hand, (2) income from any CLO not in breach of a covenant test, (3) income from real property and loan assets, (4) sale of assets, or (5) accessing the equity or debt capital markets, if available. We have the right to cure covenant breaches which would resume normal residual payments to us by purchasing non-performing loans out of the CLOs. However, we may not have sufficient liquidity available to do so at such time.

The overcollateralization ratio divides the total principal balance of all collateral in the CLO by the total principal balance of the bonds associated with the applicable ratio. To the extent an asset is considered a defaulted security, the asset’s principal balance for purposes of the overcollateralization test is the lesser of the asset’s market value or the principal balance of the defaulted asset multiplied by the asset’s recovery rate which is determined by the rating agencies. Rating downgrades of CLO collateral will generally not have a direct impact on the principal balance of a CLO asset for purposes of calculating the CLO

~~Table~~(1)The overcollateralization ratio divides the total principal balance of ~~Contents~~all collateral in the CLO by the total principal balance of the bonds associated with the applicable ratio. To the extent an asset is considered a defaulted security, the asset’s principal balance for purposes of the overcollateralization test is the lesser of the asset’s market value or the principal balance of the defaulted asset multiplied by the asset’s recovery rate which is determined by the rating agencies. Rating downgrades of CLO collateral will generally not have a direct impact on the principal balance of a CLO asset for purposes of calculating the CLO overcollateralization test unless the rating downgrade is below a significantly low threshold (e.g. CCC-) as defined in each CLO vehicle.

~~This table represents the quarterly trend of our overcollateralization ratio, however, the CLO determination dates are monthly and we were in compliance with this test for all periods presented.~~

The ratio will fluctuate based on the performance of the underlying assets, transfers of assets into the CLOs prior to the expiration of their respective replenishment dates, purchase or disposal of other investments, and loan payoffs. No payment due under the junior subordinated indentures may be paid if there is a default under any senior debt and the senior lender has sent notice to the trustee. The junior subordinated indentures are also cross-defaulted with each other.

When a loan is sold under the Fannie Mae DUS program, we undertake an obligation to partially guarantee the performance of the loan. A liability is recognized for the fair value of the guarantee obligation undertaken for the non-contingent aspect of the guarantee and is

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

removed only upon either the expiration or settlement of the guarantee. At March 31, ~~2023~~2024 and ~~2022,~~December 31, 2023, we had ~~$34.5~~$34.7 million and ~~$34.4~~$34.6 million, respectively, of guarantee obligations included in the allowance for loss-sharing obligations.

In addition to and separately from the fair value of the guarantee, we estimate our allowance for loss-sharing under CECL over the contractual period in which we are exposed to credit risk. The current expected loss related to loss-sharing was based on a collective pooling basis with similar risk characteristics, a reasonable and supportable forecast and a reversion period based on our average historical losses through the remaining contractual term of the portfolio.

When we settle a loss under the DUS loss-sharing model, the net loss is charged-off against the previously recorded loss-sharing obligation. The settled loss is often net of any previously advanced principal and interest payments in accordance with the DUS program, which are reflected as reductions to the proceeds needed to settle losses. At March 31, ~~2023~~2024 and December 31, ~~2022,~~2023, we had outstanding advances of ~~$0.4~~$1.0 million and ~~$0.8~~$1.1 million, respectively, which were netted against the allowance for loss-sharing obligations.

At March 31, ~~2023~~2024 and December 31, ~~2022,~~2023, our allowance for loss-sharing obligations, associated with expected losses under CECL, was ~~$25.3~~$38.1 million and ~~$22.7~~$37.0 million, respectively, and represented ~~0.13%~~0.18% and ~~0.12%~~0.17%, respectively, of our Fannie Mae servicing portfolio. During the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, we recorded ~~a $2.6 million~~an increase in CECL ~~reserves.~~

reserves of $1.1 million and $2.6 million, respectively.

At March 31, ~~2023~~2024 and December 31, ~~2022,~~2023, the maximum quantifiable liability associated with our guarantees under the Fannie Mae DUS agreement was ~~$3.58~~$4.02 billion and ~~$3.49~~$3.95 billion, respectively. The maximum quantifiable liability is not representative of the actual loss we would incur. We would be liable for this amount only if all of the loans we service for Fannie Mae, for which we retain some risk of loss, were to default and all of the collateral underlying these loans was determined to be without value at the time of settlement.

Note 11 — Derivative Financial Instruments

We enter into derivative financial instruments to manage exposures that arise from business activities resulting in the receipt or payment of future known and uncertain cash amounts, the value of which are determined by interest rates and credit risk. We do not use these derivatives for speculative purposes, but are instead using them to manage our interest rate and credit risk exposure.

Agency Rate Lock and Forward Sale Commitments. We enter into contractual commitments to originate and sell mortgage loans at fixed prices with fixed expiration dates. The commitments become effective when the borrower “rate locks” a specified interest rate within time frames established by us. All potential borrowers are evaluated for creditworthiness prior to the extension of the commitment. Market risk arises if interest rates move adversely between the time of the rate lock by the borrower and the sale date of the loan to an investor. To mitigate the effect of the interest rate risk inherent in providing rate lock commitments to borrowers under the GSE programs, we enter into a forward sale commitment with the investor simultaneously with the rate lock commitment with the borrower. The forward sale contract locks in an interest rate and price for the sale of the loan. The terms of the contract with the investor and the rate lock with the borrower are matched in substantially all respects, with the objective of eliminating interest rate risk to the extent practical. Sale commitments with the investors have an expiration date that is longer than our related commitments to the borrower to allow, among other things, for closing of the loan and processing of paperwork to deliver the loan into the sale commitment.

These commitments meet the definition of a derivative and are recorded at fair value, including the effects of interest rate movements which are reflected as a component of gain (loss) on derivative instruments, net in the consolidated statements of income. The estimated fair value of rate lock commitments also includes the fair value of the expected net cash flows associated with the servicing of the loan which is recorded as income from MSRs in the consolidated statements of income. During the three months ended March 31, ~~2023~~2024 and ~~2022,~~2023, we recorded ~~a gain~~gains of ~~$7.1~~less than $0.1 million and ~~a loss of $2.5~~$7.1 million, respectively, from changes in the fair value of these derivatives and income from MSRs of $10.2 million and $18.5 million, ~~and $15.3 million, respectively, of income from MSRs.~~respectively. See Note 12 for details.

~~Interest Rate~~Treasury Futures and Credit Default ~~Swaps (“Swaps”).~~Swaps. We enter into over-the-counter treasury futures and credit default swaps to hedge our interest rate and credit risk exposure inherent in (1) our held-for-sale Agency Business Private Label loans from the time the loans are rate locked until sale or securitization, and (2) our Agency Business SFR – fixed rate loans from the time the loans are originated until the time they can be financed with match term fixed rate securitized debt. Our ~~interest rate swaps~~treasury futures typically have a three-month maturity and are tied to the five-year and ten-year ~~swap~~treasury rates. Our credit default swaps typically have a five-year maturity, are tied to the credit spreads of the underlying bond issuers and we typically hold our position until we price our Private Label loan securitizations. ~~The Swaps~~These instruments do not meet the criteria for hedge accounting, are cleared by a central clearing house and variation margin payments made in cash are treated as a legal settlement of the derivative ~~itself~~itself. Our agreements with the counterparties provide for bilateral collateral pledging based on the counterparties' market value. The counterparties have the right to re-pledge the collateral posted, but have the obligation to return the pledged collateral as ~~opposed~~the market value of the treasury futures change. Our policy is to record the asset and liability positions on a ~~pledge~~net basis. At March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we had $1.8 million and $1.5 million, respectively included in others assets, which was

During the three months ended March 31, 2024, we recorded realized losses of $0.1 million and unrealized gains of $0.4 million to our Agency Business related to our Swaps. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, we recorded realized gains of $1.6 million and unrealized losses of $4.4 million ~~and during the three months ended March 31, 2022, we recorded realized and unrealized gains of $18.0 million and $2.0 million, respectively,~~ to our Agency Business related to our Swaps.

Assets and liabilities disclosed at fair value are categorized based upon the level of judgment associated with the inputs used to measure their fair value. Determining which category an asset or liability falls within the hierarchy requires judgment and we evaluate our hierarchy disclosures each quarter. Hierarchical levels directly related to the amount of subjectivity associated with the inputs to fair valuation of these assets and liabilities are as follows:

Table of Contents

ARBOR REALTY TRUST, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

Level 1—Inputs are unadjusted and quoted prices exist in active markets for identical assets or liabilities, such as government, agency and equity securities.

Level 2—Inputs (other than quoted prices included in Level 1) are observable for the asset or liability through correlation with market data. Level 2 inputs may include quoted market prices for a similar asset or liability, interest rates and credit risk. Examples include non-government securities, certain mortgage and asset-backed securities, certain corporate debt and certain derivative instruments.

~~Table of Contents~~

~~ARBOR REALTY TRUST, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES~~

~~NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)~~

Level 3—Inputs reflect our best estimate of what market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability and are based on significant unobservable inputs that require a considerable amount of judgment and assumptions. Examples include certain mortgage and asset-backed securities, certain corporate debt and certain derivative instruments.

The following is a description of the valuation techniques used to measure fair value and the general classification of these instruments pursuant to the fair value hierarchy.

Loans and investments, net. Fair values of loans and investments that are not impaired are estimated using inputs based on direct capitalization rate and discounted cash flow ~~methodologies~~methodology using discount rates, which, in our opinion, best reflect current market interest rates that would be offered for loans with similar characteristics and credit quality (Level 3). Fair values of impaired loans and investments are estimated using inputs that require significant judgments, which include assumptions regarding discount rates, capitalization rates, creditworthiness of major tenants, occupancy rates, availability of financing, exit plans and other factors (Level 3).

Loans held-for-sale, net. Consists of originated loans that are generally expected to be transferred or sold within 60 days to 180 days of loan funding, and are valued using pricing models that incorporate observable inputs from current market assumptions or a hypothetical securitization model utilizing observable market data from recent securitization spreads and observable pricing of loans with similar characteristics (Level 2). Fair value includes the fair value allocated to the associated future MSRs and is calculated pursuant to the valuation techniques described below for capitalized mortgage servicing rights, net (Level 3).

Capitalized mortgage servicing rights, net. Fair values are estimated using inputs based on discounted future net cash flow methodology (Level 3). MSRs are initially recorded at fair value and are carried at amortized cost. The fair value of MSRs is estimated using a process that involves the use of independent third-party valuation experts, supported by commercially available discounted cash flow models and analysis of current market data. The key inputs used in estimating fair value include the contractually specified servicing fees, prepayment speed of the underlying loans, discount rate, annual per loan cost to service loans, delinquency rates, late charges and other economic factors.

Securities held-to-maturity, net. Fair values are approximated using inputs based on current market quotes received from financial sources that trade such securities and are based on prevailing market data and, in some cases, are derived from third-party proprietary models based on well recognized financial principles and reasonable estimates about relevant future market conditions (Level 3).

Derivative financial instruments. Fair values of rate lock and forward sale commitments are estimated using valuation techniques, which include internally-developed models ~~developed~~ based on changes in the U.S. Treasury rate and other observable market data (Level 2). The fair value of rate lock commitments includes the fair value of the expected net cash flows associated with the servicing of the loans, see capitalized mortgage servicing rights, net above for details on the applicable valuation technique (Level 3). We also consider the impact of counterparty non-performance risk when measuring the fair value of these derivatives. Given the credit quality of our counterparties, the short duration of interest rate lock commitments and forward sale contracts, and our historical experience, the risk of nonperformance by our counterparties is not significant.

Credit and repurchase facilities. Fair values for credit and repurchase facilities of the Structured Business are estimated using discounted cash flow methodology, using discount rates, which, in our opinion, best reflect current market interest rates for financing with similar characteristics and credit quality (Level 3). The majority of our credit and repurchase facilities for the Agency Business bear interest at rates that are similar to those available in the market currently and fair values are estimated using Level 2 inputs. For these facilities, the fair values approximate their carrying values.

Securitized debt and junior subordinated notes.Fair values are estimated based on broker quotations, representing the discounted expected future cash flows at a yield that reflects current market interest rates and credit spreads (Level 3).

Senior unsecured notes. Fair values are estimated at current market quotes received from active markets when available (Level 1). If quotes from active markets are unavailable, then the fair values are estimated utilizing current market quotes received from inactive markets (Level 2).

Convertible senior unsecured ~~notes.~~notes, net. Fair values are estimated using current market quotes received from inactive markets (Level 2).

~~We had an allowance for credit losses of $93.3 million relating to eight impaired loans with an aggregate carrying value, before loan loss reserves, of $191.8 million at March 31, 2023.~~

~~We had unrealized impairment losses of $1.6 million related to ten held-for-sale loans with an aggregate carrying value, before unrealized impairment losses, of $42.6 million.~~

Loan impairment assessments. Loans held-for-investment are intended to be held to maturity and, accordingly, are carried at cost, net of unamortized loan origination costs and fees, loan purchase discounts, and net of the allowance for credit losses, when such loan or investment is deemed to be impaired. We consider a loan impaired when, based upon current information, it is probable that all amounts due for both principal and interest will not be collected according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. We evaluate our loans to determine if the value of the underlying collateral securing the impaired loan is less than the net carrying value of the loan, which may result in an allowance, and corresponding charge to the provision for credit losses, or an impairment loss. These valuations require significant judgments, which include assumptions regarding capitalization and discount rates, revenue growth rates, creditworthiness of major tenants, occupancy rates, availability of financing, exit plan and other factors.

Loans held-for-sale are generally expected to be transferred ~~and~~or sold within 60~~-180~~ days to 180 days of loan origination and are reported at lower of cost or market. We consider a loan classified as held-for-sale impaired if, based on current information, it is probable that we will sell the loan below par, or not be able to collect all principal and interest in accordance with the contractual terms of the loan agreement. These loans are valued using pricing models that incorporate observable inputs from current market assumptions or a hypothetical securitization model utilizing observable market data from recent securitization spreads and observable pricing of loans with similar characteristics.

The tables above and below include all impaired loans, regardless of the period in which the impairment was recognized.

Note 13 — Commitments and Contingencies

Agency Business Commitments.Our Agency Business is subject to supervision by certain regulatory agencies. Among other things, these agencies require us to meet certain minimum net worth, operational liquidity and restricted liquidity collateral requirements, and compliance with reporting requirements. Our adjusted net worth and liquidity required by the agencies for all periods presented exceeded these requirements.

At March 31, ~~2023,~~2024, we were required to maintain at least ~~$18.8~~$21.1 million of liquid assets in one of our subsidiaries to meet our operational liquidity requirements for Fannie Mae and we had operational liquidity in excess of this requirement.

We are generally required to share the risk of any losses associated with loans sold under the Fannie Mae DUS program and are required to secure this obligation by assigning restricted cash balances and/or a letter of credit to Fannie Mae. The amount of collateral required by Fannie Mae is a formulaic calculation at the loan level by a Fannie Mae assigned tier, which considers the loan balance, risk level of the loan, age of the loan and level of risk-sharing. Fannie Mae requires restricted liquidity for Tier 2 loans of 75 basis points, 15 basis points for Tier 3 loans and 5 basis points for Tier 4 loans, which is funded over a 48-month period that begins upon delivery of the loan to Fannie Mae. A significant portion of our Fannie Mae DUS serviced loans for which we have risk sharing are Tier 2 loans. At March 31, ~~2023,~~2024, the restricted liquidity requirement totaled ~~$67.3~~$79.7 million and was satisfied with a $64.0 million letter of credit and ~~$2.5 million of~~ cash issued to Fannie Mae.

At March 31, ~~2023,~~2024, reserve requirements for the Fannie Mae DUS loan portfolio will require us to fund ~~$35.7~~$38.9 million in additional restricted liquidity over the next 48 months, assuming no further principal paydowns, prepayments, or defaults within our at-risk portfolio. Fannie Mae periodically reassesses these collateral requirements and may make changes to these requirements in the future. We generate sufficient cash flow from our operations to meet these capital standards and do not expect any changes to have a material impact on our future operations; however, future changes to collateral requirements may adversely impact our available cash.

We are subject to various capital requirements in connection with seller/servicer agreements that we have entered into with secondary market investors. Failure to maintain minimum capital requirements could result in our inability to originate and service loans for the respective investor and, therefore, could have a direct material effect on our consolidated financial statements. At March 31, ~~2023,~~2024, we met all of Fannie Mae’s quarterly capital requirements and our Fannie Mae adjusted net worth was in excess of the required net worth. We are not subject to capital requirements on a quarterly basis for Ginnie Mae and FHA, as requirements for these investors are only required on an annual basis.

As an approved designated seller/servicer under Freddie Mac’s SBL program, we are required to post collateral to ensure that we are able to meet certain purchase and loss obligations required by this program. Under the SBL program, we are required to post collateral equal to $5.0 million, which is satisfied with a $5.0 million letter of credit.

Unfunded Commitments.In accordance with certain structured loans and investments, we have outstanding unfunded commitments of ~~$1.05~~$1.59 billion at March 31, ~~2023~~2024 that we are obligated to fund as borrowers meet certain requirements. Specific requirements include, but are not limited to, property renovations, building construction and conversions based on criteria met by the borrower in accordance with the loan agreements.

Litigation. We are ~~currently neither~~ subject to ~~any material litigation nor,~~a variety of claims and suits that arise from time to time in the ~~best~~ordinary course of our ~~knowledge, threatened by any~~business. Although management currently believes that resolving claims against us, individually or in aggregate, will not have a material ~~litigation other than the following:~~

~~In June 2011, three related lawsuits were filed by the Extended Stay Litigation Trust (the “Trust”), a post-bankruptcy litigation trust alleged~~adverse impact in our consolidated financial statements, these matters are subject to ~~have standing to pursue claims that previously had been held by Extended Stay, Inc.~~inherent uncertainties and ~~the Homestead Village L.L.C. family~~management’s view of ~~companies that had emerged from bankruptcy. There were 73 defendants~~these matters may change in the three lawsuits, including 55 corporate and partnership entities and 18 individuals. A subsidiary of ours and certain individuals and other entities that are affiliates of ours were included as defendants.

future.

In June 2013, the Trust amended the lawsuits, to, among other things, (1) consolidate the lawsuits into one lawsuit, (2) remove 47 defendants from the lawsuits, none of whom were related to us, so that there were 26 remaining defendants, including 16 corporate and partnership entities and 10 individuals, and (3) reduce the counts within the lawsuits from over 100 down to 17 (as consolidated, the "Action"). For more detailed information regarding the Action, please refer to Note 14 of our 2022 Annual Report filed with the SEC on February 17, 2023.

After extensive motion practice and discovery, in early December 2022, the plaintiff and certain co-defendants, including our affiliates, commenced discussions regarding a possible settlement of the Action, and in late December 2022, those parties reached an agreement in principle to settle the Action for a total of $38 million. We agreed to pay up to $7.4 million of the settlement amount, which amount was accrued in our December 31, 2022 financial statements. We maintain certain claims against a co-defendant on which we may recover amounts in the future, reducing our contribution to the settlement, but we can give no assurances that we will be successful in any such recovery.

In early March 2023, the parties to the settlement finalized the settlement documents and on April 25, 2023, the Bankruptcy Court approved the settlement in open court. Pursuant to the settlement agreement, the parties to the settlement are expected to make the agreed upon payments and the broad mutual releases will become effective during the second quarter, upon which the Action will be discontinued, with prejudice.

Due to Borrowers. Due to borrowers represents borrowers’ funds held by us to fund certain expenditures or to be released at our discretion upon the occurrence of certain pre-specified events, and to serve as additional collateral for borrowers’ loans. While retained, these balances earn interest in accordance with the specific loan terms they are associated with.

Note 14 — Variable Interest Entities

Our involvement with VIEs primarily affects our financial performance and cash flows through amounts recorded in interest income, interest expense, provision for loan losses and through activity associated with our derivative instruments.

Consolidated VIEs. We have determined that our operating partnership, ARLP, and our CLO and Q Series securitization entities (“Securitization Entities”) are VIEs, which we consolidate. ~~ARLP was already consolidated in our financial statements, therefore, the identification of this entity as a VIE had no impact on our consolidated financial statements.~~

Our Securitization Entities invest in real estate and real estate-related securities and are financed by the issuance of debt securities. We believe we hold the power necessary to direct the most significant economic activities of those entities. We also have exposure to losses to the extent of our equity interests and rights to waterfall payments in excess of required payments to bond investors. As a result of consolidation, equity interests have been eliminated, and the consolidated balance sheets reflect both the assets held and debt issued to third parties by the Securitization Entities, prior to the unwind. Our operating results and cash flows include the gross asset and liability amounts related to the Securitization Entities as opposed to our net economic interests in those entities.

Note 15 — Equity

Common Stock. During the first quarter of 2023, we sold 5,635,800 shares of our common stock at an average price of $14.68 per share for net proceeds of $82.7 million through an “At-The-Market” equity offering sales agreement. The proceeds were used to make investments related to our business and for general corporate purposes.

~~In March~~ 2023, the Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program providing for the repurchase of up to ~~$50.0~~$150.0 million of our outstanding common stock. The repurchase of our common stock may be made from time to time in the open market, through privately negotiated transactions, or otherwise in compliance with Rule 10b-18 and Rule 10b5-1 under the ~~Securities~~ Exchange Act, ~~of 1934,~~ based on our stock price, general market conditions, applicable legal requirements and other factors. The program may be discontinued or modified at any time. ~~As of~~At March 31, 2024, there was $150.0 million available for repurchase under this program.

Subsequent Event. During April ~~30, 2023,~~2024, we repurchased ~~3,545,604~~935,739 shares of our common stock under ~~this~~the share repurchase program at a total cost of ~~$37.4~~$11.4 million and an average cost of ~~$10.56~~$12.19 per share.

Noncontrolling Interest. Noncontrolling interest relates to the operating partnership units (“OP Units”) issued to satisfy a portion of the purchase price in connection with the acquisition of the agency platform of Arbor Commercial Mortgage, LLC (“ACM”) in 2016. Each of these OP Units are paired with one share of our special voting preferred shares having a par value of $0.01 per share and is entitled to one vote each on any matter submitted for stockholder approval. The OP Units are entitled to receive distributions if and when our Board of

Note 16 — Income Taxes

As a REIT, we are generally not subject to U.S. federal income tax to the extent of our distributions to stockholders and as long as certain asset, income, distribution, ownership and administrative tests are met. To maintain our qualification as a REIT, we must annually distribute at least 90% of our REIT-taxable income to our stockholders and meet certain other requirements. We may also be subject to certain state, local and franchise taxes. Under certain circumstances, federal income and excise taxes may be due on our undistributed taxable income. If we were to fail to meet these requirements, we would be subject to U.S. federal income tax, which could have a material adverse impact on our results of operations and amounts available for distributions to our stockholders. We believe that all of the criteria to maintain our REIT qualification have been met for the applicable periods, but there can be no assurance that these criteria will continue to be met in subsequent periods.

The Agency Business is operated through our TRS Consolidated Group and is subject to U.S. federal, state and local income taxes. In general, our TRS entities may hold assets that the REIT cannot hold directly and may engage in real estate or non-real estate-related business.

In the three months ended March 31, ~~2023~~2024 and ~~2022,~~2023, we recorded a tax provision of $3.6 million and $8.0 million, respectively. The tax provision recorded in the three months ended March 31, 2024 consisted of a current tax provision of $7.6 million and ~~$8.2 million, respectively.~~a deferred tax benefit of $4.0 million. The tax provision recorded in the three months ended March 31, 2023 consisted of a current and deferred tax provision of $4.8 million and $3.2 million, respectively. ~~The tax provision recorded in the three months ended March 31, 2022 consisted of a current tax provision of $9.9 million and a deferred tax benefit of $1.7 million.~~ Current and deferred taxes are primarily recorded on the portion of earnings (losses) recognized by us with respect to our interest in the TRS’s. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are calculated based on temporary differences between our U.S. GAAP consolidated financial statements and the federal, state, local tax basis of assets and liabilities as of the consolidated balance sheets.

Note 17 — Agreements and Transactions with Related Parties

Support Agreement and Employee Secondment Agreement. We have a support agreement and a secondment agreement with ACM and certain of its affiliates and certain affiliates of a relative of our chief executive officer (“Service Recipients”) where we provide support services and seconded employees to the Service Recipients. The Service Recipients reimburse us for the costs of performing such services and the cost of the seconded employees.

of a sale or restructuring of the debt. In 2018, the owners of Lexford restructured part of its debt and we originated 12 bridge loans totaling $280.5 million, which were used to repay in full certain existing mortgage debt and to renovate 72 multifamily properties included in the portfolio. The loans were originated in 2018, had interest rates of LIBOR plus ~~4.0%~~4.00% and were scheduled to mature in June 2021. During 2019, the borrower made payoffs and partial paydowns of principal totaling $250.0 million and in 2020, the remaining balance of the loans were refinanced with a $34.6 million Private Label loan, which bears interest at a fixed rate of ~~3.3%~~3.30% and matures in March 2030. In 2020, we sold the Private Label loan to an unconsolidated affiliate of ours. Further, as part of this 2018 restructuring, $50.0 million in unsecured financing was provided by an unsecured lender to certain parent entities of the property owners. ACM owns slightly less than half of the unsecured lender entity and, therefore, provided slightly less than half of the unsecured lender financing. In addition, in connection with our equity investment, we received distributions totaling $4.7 million during the three months ended March 31, 2023, which were recorded as income from equity affiliates. Separate from the loans we originated in 2018, we provide limited (“bad boy”) guarantees for certain other debt controlled by Lexford. The bad boy guarantees may become a liability for us upon standard “bad” acts such as fraud or a material misrepresentation by Lexford or us. At March 31, ~~2023,~~2024, this debt had an aggregate outstanding balance of approximately ~~$600.0~~$500.0 million and is scheduled to mature through 2029.

Several of our executives, including our chief financial officer, ~~senior counsel~~corporate secretary and our chairman, chief executive officer and president, hold similar positions for ACM.

Item 2.Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

You should read the following discussion in conjunction with the unaudited consolidated interim financial statements, and related notes and the section entitled “Forward-Looking Statements” included herein.

Overview

Through our Structured Business, we invest in a diversified portfolio of structured finance assets in the multifamily, SFR and commercial real estate markets, primarily consisting of bridge loans, in addition to mezzanine loans, junior participating interests in first mortgages and preferred and direct equity. We also invest in real estate-related joint ventures and may directly acquire real property and invest in real estate-related notes and certain mortgage-related securities.

Through our Agency Business, we originate, sell and service a range of multifamily finance products through Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, Ginnie Mae, FHA and HUD. We retain the servicing rights and asset management responsibilities on substantially all loans we originate and sell under the GSE and HUD programs. We are an approved Fannie Mae DUS lender nationally, a Freddie Mac Multifamily Conventional Loan lender, seller/servicer, in New York, New Jersey and Connecticut, a Freddie Mac affordable, manufactured housing, senior housing and SBL lender, seller/servicer, nationally and a HUD MAP and LEAN senior housing/healthcare lender nationally. We also originate and ~~service~~retain the servicing rights on permanent financing loans underwritten using the guidelines of our existing agency loans sold to the GSEs, which we refer to as “Private Label” loans and originate and sell finance products through CMBS programs. We ~~pool and securitize~~either sell the Private Label loans instantaneously or pool and securitize them and sell certificates in the securitizations to third-party investors, while retaining the ~~servicing rights and APL certificates~~highest risk bottom tranche certificate of the securitization.

We conduct our operations to qualify as a REIT. A REIT is generally not subject to federal income tax on its REIT—taxable income that is distributed to its stockholders, provided that at least 90% of its REIT—taxable income is distributed and provided that certain other requirements are met.

Our operating performance is primarily driven by the following factors:

Net interest income earned on our investments.Net interest income represents the amount by which the interest income earned on our assets exceeds the interest expense incurred on our borrowings. If the yield on our assets increases or the cost of borrowings decreases, this will have a positive impact on earnings. However, if the yield earned on our assets decreases or the cost of borrowings increases, this will have a negative impact on earnings. Net interest income is also directly impacted by the size and performance of our asset portfolio. We recognize the bulk of our net interest income from our Structured Business. Additionally, we recognize net interest income from loans originated through our Agency Business, which are generally sold within 60 days of origination.

Fees and other revenues recognized from originating, selling and servicing mortgage loans through the GSE and HUD programs. Revenue recognized from the origination and sale of mortgage loans consists of gains on sale of loans (net of any direct loan origination costs incurred), commitment fees, broker fees, loan assumption fees and loan origination fees. These gains and fees are collectively referred to as gain on sales, including fee-based services, net. We record income from MSRs at the time of commitment to the borrower, which represents the fair value of the expected net future cash flows associated with the rights to service mortgage loans that we originate, with the recognition of a corresponding asset upon sale. We also record servicing revenue which consists of fees received for servicing mortgage loans, net of amortization on the MSR assets recorded. Although we have long-established relationships with the GSE and HUD agencies, our operating performance would be negatively impacted if our business relationships with these agencies deteriorate. Additionally, we also recognize revenue from originating, selling and servicing our Private Label loans.

One of our core business strategies is to generate additional agency lending opportunities by refinancing our multifamily balance sheet bridge loan portfolio when it is practical and appropriate to do so. We execute this strategy by underwriting the multifamily bridge loans we originate to a potential future agency financing. We then continue to work with our borrowers on this execution through the life cycle of the multifamily bridge loan. When effective, this strategy allows us to recapture refinancing opportunities, delever our balance sheet, and generate additional income streams through our capital-light Agency Business.

Income earned from our structured transactions.Our structured transactions are primarily comprised of investments in equity affiliates, which represent unconsolidated joint venture investments formed to acquire, develop and/or sell real estate-related assets. Operating results from these investments can be difficult to predict and can vary significantly period-to-period. When interest rates rise, the income from these investments can be significantly and negatively impacted, particularly from our investment in a residential mortgage banking business, since rising interest rates generally decrease the demand for residential real estate loans. In addition, we periodically receive distributions from our equity investments. It is difficult to forecast the timing of such payments, which can be substantial in any given quarter. We account for structured transactions within our Structured Business.

Credit quality of our loans and investments, including our servicing portfolio.Effective portfolio management is essential to maximize the performance and value of our loan and investment and servicing portfolios. Maintaining the credit quality of the loans in our portfolios is of critical importance. Loans that do not perform in accordance with their terms may have a negative impact on earnings and liquidity.

~~COVID-19 Impact.~~ ~~The ongoing effects~~Table of COVID-19 created significant disruptions to the U.S. and global economies, which could continue a period of global economic slowdown. Although vaccine availability and usage have continued to increase, which has led to less negative short-term effects, such as travel bans, quarantines, layoffs and shutdowns, the ongoing longer-term macroeconomic effects on inflation, interest rates, capital markets, labor shortages, property values and global supply chains continue to negatively impact many industries, including the U.S. commercial real estate market. Although we have not been significantly impacted by COVID-19 to-date, the impact of COVID-19 on companies continues to evolve, and the extent and duration of the economic fallout from this pandemic to our business, particularly rising inflation, increasing interest rates and dislocation in capital markets, remains unclear and present risk with respect to our financial condition, results of operations, liquidity, and ability to pay distributions.

Current Market Conditions, Risks and Recent Trends

~~As discussed throughout this report,~~

We are currently in a high interest rate environment, as the ~~ongoing COVID-19 pandemic continues~~Federal Reserve has raised interest rates several times over the past two years to ~~impact~~combat inflation and restore price stability. Based on the ~~global economy~~latest comments from the Federal Reserve in ~~unprecedented ways, causing~~March 2024, we expect they may begin to lower interest rates at some point during 2024. Interest rates could remain higher for longer than expected if inflation and other economic indicators do not meet the Federal Reserve’s expectations.

Inflation, rising interest rates, bank failures, and geopolitical uncertainty has caused significant disruptions ~~and liquidity constraints~~ in many market segments, including the financial services, real estate and credit ~~markets. Although vaccine availability and usage have continued to increase,~~markets, which has, led to less negative short-term effects, such as travel bans, quarantines, layoffs and shutdowns, the ongoing longer-term macroeconomic effects on inflation, interest rates, capital markets, labor shortages, property values and global supply chains continue to negatively impact many industries, including the U.S. commercial real estate market. Although we have not been significantly impacted by COVID-19 to-date, adverse economic conditions have resulted, and may continue, to result in ~~rising interest rates,~~a further dislocation in capital markets and a continual reduction of available liquidity. Despite these periodic disruptions, we have been successful in raising capital through various vehicles, when needed, to grow our business.

Recent instability in the banking sector, such as the multiple regional bank failures and consolidations, further contributed to the tightening liquidity conditions in the equity and capital markets and has affected the availability and increased the cost of capital. The increased cost of credit, or degradation in debt financing terms, may impact our ability to identify and execute investments on attractive terms, or at all. Additionally, although the majority of our cash is currently on deposit with major financial institutions, our balances often exceed insured limits. We limit the exposure relating to these balances by diversifying them among various counterparties. Generally, deposits may be redeemed upon demand and are maintained at financial institutions with reputable credit and therefore we believe bear minimal credit risk.

These current market conditions may continue to limit our ability to grow our Structured Business since this business is more reliant on the capital markets to grow, but can also present us with options to build on existing relationships or create new relationships with lenders. Runoff in our Structured Business also provides an opportunity to refinance these loans with new Agency loans, when practical and appropriate to do so. Since our Agency Business requires limited capital to grow, as originations are financed through warehouse facilities for generally up to 60 days before the loans are sold, tightening liquidity conditions in equity and capital markets should not have a substantial impact on our ability to sustain this business.

These adverse economic conditions have resulted in, and may continue to result in, a dislocation in capital markets, declining real estate values of certain asset classes, increased payment delinquencies and defaults and increased loan modifications and foreclosures, all of which could have a significant impact on our future results of operations, financial condition, business prospects and our ability to make distributions to our stockholders.

As a result of the current high interest rate environment, some of our borrowers have experienced, and may continue to experience, financial stress that has resulted in an increase in payment delinquencies, loan loss reserves and realized losses on certain loans within our portfolio. We employ rigorous risk management and underwriting practices to proactively maintain the quality of our loan portfolio and

We have recently witnessed significant volatility in the banking sector as a result of disruptions to the banking system and financial markets resulting from multiple bank failures. Although the majority of our cash is currently on deposit with major financial institutions, our balances often exceed insured limits. We limit the exposure relating to these balances by diversifying them among various counterparties. Generally, deposits may be redeemed upon demand and are maintained with financial institutions with reputable credit and therefore we believe bear minimal credit risk.

We have been very successful in raising capital through various vehicles to grow our businesses. The anticipated continual rise in interest rates, inflation, recent bank failures and unpredictable geopolitical landscape have caused a dislocation and additional volatility in the capital markets, which may result in a continual reduction of available liquidity. Instability in the banking sector, such as the recent bank failures and consolidations, have further contributed to the tightening liquidity conditions in equity and capital markets and has affected the availability and cost of capital. The increased cost of credit, or degradation in debt financing terms, may impact our ability to identify and execute investments on attractive terms, or at all. Periods of volatility and dislocation in the capital markets, as observed recently, could limit our ability to grow our Structured Business since this business is more reliant on the capital markets to grow, but can also present us with unique avenues to participate in other lower cost financing options and build on existing relationships, or, create new relationships with lenders. Since our Agency Business requires limited capital to grow, as originations are financed through warehouse facilities for generally up to 60 days before the loans are sold, tightening liquidity conditions in equity and capital markets should not have a substantial impact on our ability to grow this business.

We are a national originator with Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, and the GSEs remain the most significant providers of capital to the multifamily market. In November ~~2022, the Federal Housing Finance Agency (“FHFA”) announced that~~2023, FHFA set its ~~2023~~2024 Caps for Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac ~~will be $75~~at $70 billion for each enterprise for a total opportunity of ~~$150~~$140 billion, ~~(the “2023 Caps”),~~ which ~~has decreased~~is a decrease from its ~~2022 loan origination caps~~2023 Caps of ~~$78~~$75 billion for each enterprise. ~~The~~ FHFA ~~has~~ stated ~~that~~ they will continue to monitor the market and reserves the right to increase the ~~2023~~2024 Caps if warranted, however, they will not reduce the ~~2023~~2024 Caps if the market is smaller than initially projected. To promote affordable housing preservation, loans classified as supporting workforce housing properties will be exempt from the 2024 Caps. Workforce housing loans preserve rents at affordable levels in multifamily properties, typically without the use of public subsidies. The ~~2023~~2024 Caps will continue to ~~apply to all multifamily business, have no exclusions, and~~ mandate that at least 50% be directed towards mission driven, affordable ~~housing. The FHFA has removed the requirement that at least 25% be affordable~~housing, with affordability levels corresponding to ~~residents at or below 60%~~80%-120% of area median income, ~~(“AMI”) to reduce inconsistencies with their Housing Goals regulation. Further,~~depending on the FHFA has changed certain definitions of mission driven affordable housing and also allows loans to finance energy or water efficiency improvements with units affordable at or below 80% of AMI to be classified as mission-driven, up from 60% AMI in 2022. This increase will allow the GSEs to expand their effort on energy and water conservation measures at workforce housing properties.market. Our originations with the GSEs are highly profitable executions as they provide significant gains from the sale of our loans, non-cash gains related to MSRs, and servicing revenues. ~~Therefore,~~The current high interest rate environment could lead to a decline in our GSE originations, which could negatively impact our financial results. We are unsure whether ~~the~~ FHFA will impose stricter limitations on GSE multifamily production volume in the future.

At March 31, 2023, there were two loans totaling $3.3 million in bankruptcy and a $1.0 million loan in foreclosure. There were no loans in the foreclosure process or in bankruptcy at December 31, 2022.

Our Agency Business servicing portfolio represents commercial real estate loans, which are generally transferred or sold within 60 days from the date the loan is funded. Primarily all loans in our servicing portfolio are collateralized by multifamily properties. In addition, we are generally required to share in the risk of any losses associated with loans sold under the Fannie Mae DUS program, see Note 10.

~~Weighted average yield calculated based on annualized interest income or expense divided by average carrying value.~~

Net Interest Income

The ~~increase~~decrease in interest income was mainly due to a ~~$161.1~~$9.5 million decrease from our Structured Business, partially offset by a $2.8 million increase from our Agency Business. The decrease from the Structured Business was primarily due to a ~~significant increase~~decrease in the ~~average yield on core interest-earning assets, as a result of increases in benchmark interest rates, and an increase in our~~ average balance of our core interest-earning assets, mainly from loan ~~originations~~runoff exceeding loan ~~runoff during 2022.~~

originations, partially offset by an increase in the average yield on core interest-earning assets, mainly from increases in SOFR. The increase from the Agency Business was primarily due to increases in both the average loans held-for-sale balance and SOFR.

The decrease in interest expense was mainly due to a ~~$136.7~~$2.3 million ~~increase~~decrease from our Structured Business, primarily due to a ~~significant increase in the average cost of our interest-bearing liabilities, mainly from increases in benchmark index rates, and an increase~~decrease in the average balance of our interest-bearing liabilities, primarily due to ~~the growth~~loan runoff and note paydowns in our ~~loan portfolio during 2022 and~~securitizations, substantially offset by an increase in the ~~issuance~~average cost of ~~additional unsecured debt.~~

interest-bearing liabilities, mainly from increases in SOFR.

Agency Business Revenue

The increase in gain on sales, including fee-based services, net was primarily due to a ~~32%~~16% increase ~~in the sales margin from 1.18% (which includes gains recognized on Swaps) to 1.56%, partially offset by a 41% decrease ($654.0 million)~~ in loan sales ~~volume.~~ volume ($152.7 million).

The ~~increase in the sales margin was primarily driven by higher margins received on Fannie Mae and Private Label loan sales.~~

~~The increase~~decrease in income from MSRs was primarily due to a ~~54% increase ($525.0 million)~~38% decrease in loan commitment volume ~~partially offset by a 22%~~($565.9 million) and an 11% decrease in the MSR rate from ~~1.57%~~1.23% to ~~1.23%~~1.09%. The decrease in the MSR rate was primarily due to a ~~reduction~~higher percentage of Fannie Mae loan commitments in the prior year period, which contain higher servicing ~~rates on newer loans.~~

fees.

~~Table of Contents~~

The increase in servicing revenue, net was primarily due to an increase in earnings on escrow balances as a result of increases in ~~benchmark index rates and higher escrow balances,~~SOFR, partially offset by less prepayment penalties received.

Table of Contents

Other Income

(Loss)

The ~~gain~~loss on derivative instruments in ~~both~~2024 and gain in 2023 ~~and 2022~~ were related to changes in the fair values of our forward sale commitments and Swaps held by our Agency Business as a result of changes in market interest rates as well as from the timing of GSE Agency loan sales.

Other income, net in 2024 primarily reflects loan origination and modification fees from our Structured Business, while 2023 primarily reflects a $2.9 million mark-to-market recovery on Private Label and SFR loans in our Agency Business and loan origination fees from our Structured Business.

Other Expenses

The ~~decrease~~increase in ~~selling~~employee compensation and ~~administrative expenses~~benefits expense was primarily due to ~~lower legal fees due to the settlement of the Extended Stay litigation.~~

increases in incentive compensation, including commissions, from increases in headcount, annual merit increases and higher GSE/Agency loan sales volume.

The ~~increase in our provisions~~provision for loss sharing ~~and credit losses (“~~(net of recoveries) reflects a net recovery in 2024 compared to a net CECL ~~provisions”) were~~provision recorded in 2023 primarily due to the ~~impact~~recovery of ~~an increase~~a Fannie Mae DUS loan in ~~interest rates, higher unemployment rates~~2024 that exceeded the CECL reserve recorded in the current quarter.

The provision for credit losses (net of recoveries) in 2024 primarily reflects specifically identified CECL reserves, whereas the CECL reserves in 2023 primarily reflected a greater decline in economic and ~~rising inflation, along with changes in property values, in our CECL forecast models.~~

~~Loss on Extinguishment of Debt~~

~~The loss on extinguishment of debt in 2022 represents deferred financing fees recognized in connection with the unwind of CLOs.~~

market conditions at that time, and to a lesser extent, specific reserves.

Income from Equity Affiliates

Income from equity affiliates in ~~the first quarter~~2024 primarily reflects $1.6 million of income from our investment in a residential mortgage banking business, while income in 2023 primarily reflects $11.0 million received from an equity participation interest on a property that was sold and a $4.7 million distribution received from our Lexford joint ~~venture, while income in~~venture.

Provision for Income Taxes

In the ~~first quarter~~three months ended March 31, 2024, we recorded a tax provision of ~~2022 primarily reflects income from our investment in~~$3.6 million, which consisted of a ~~residential mortgage banking business~~current tax provision of ~~$5.0~~$7.6 million and a ~~$2.6 million equity participation interest on a property that was sold.~~

~~Provision for Income Taxes~~

deferred tax benefit of $4.0 million. In the three months ended March 31, 2023, we recorded a tax provision of $8.0 million, which consisted of a current and deferred tax provision of $4.8 million and $3.2 million, respectively. In the three months ended March 31, 2022, we recorded a tax provision of $8.2 million, which consisted of a current tax provision of $9.9 million and a deferred tax benefit of $1.7 million. The decrease in the tax provision was primarily due to lower income generated from our investment in a residential banking business.

~~Preferred Stock Dividends~~

~~The increase in preferred stock dividends was due to the issuance of an additional 3,292,000 shares of our Series F preferred stock during the first quarter of 2022.~~

Net Income Attributable to Noncontrolling Interest

The noncontrolling interest relates to the outstanding OP Units (see Note 15). There were 16,293,589 OP Units ~~and 16,325,095 OP Units~~ outstanding at both March 31, ~~2023~~2024 and ~~2022, respectively,~~2023, which represented ~~8.1%~~7.9% and ~~9.2%~~8.1% of our outstanding stock at March 31, 2024 and 2023, ~~and 2022,~~ respectively.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Sources of Liquidity. Liquidity is a measure of our ability to meet our potential cash requirements, including ongoing commitments to repay borrowings, satisfaction of collateral requirements under the Fannie Mae DUS risk-sharing agreement and, as an approved designated seller/servicer of Freddie Mac’s SBL program, operational liquidity requirements of the GSE agencies, fund new loans and investments, fund operating costs and distributions to our stockholders, as well as other general business needs. Our primary sources of funds for liquidity consist of proceeds from equity and debt offerings, proceeds from CLOs and securitizations, debt facilities and cash flows from operations. We closely monitor our liquidity position and believe our existing sources of funds and access to additional liquidity will be adequate to meet our liquidity needs.

~~Table of Contents~~

The ongoing ~~COVID-19 pandemic has contributed to~~ adverse economic and market conditions, ~~causing~~including inflation, rising interest rates, bank failures and geopolitical uncertainty, continues to cause significant disruptions and liquidity constraints in many market segments, including the financial services, real estate and credit markets. These conditions have created, and may continue to create, a dislocation in capital markets ~~while adding to ongoing longer-term macroeconomic effects on inflation, interest rates~~ and ~~capital markets. In addition,~~a continual reduction of available liquidity. Instability in the banking sector, such as the recent bank failures and consolidations, ~~have~~ further contributed to a dislocation in capital markets and tightening liquidity conditions affecting the availability and cost of capital. We are monitoring its impact on our financing sources, borrowers and their tenants, as well as the economy as a whole, including the tightening liquidity conditions in the equity and capital ~~markets. To~~markets and has affected the ~~extent that~~availability and increased the cost of capital. The increased cost of credit, or degradation in debt financing terms, may impact our ability to identify and execute investments on attractive terms, or at all. If our financing sources, borrowers and their tenants continue to be impacted by ~~the pandemic,~~these adverse economic and market conditions, or by the other risks disclosed in our filings with the SEC, it would have a material adverse effect on our liquidity and capital resources.

As described in Note 9, certain of our repurchase facilities include margin call provisions associated with changes in interest spreads which are designed to limit the lenders credit exposure. If we experience significant decreases in the value of the properties serving as collateral under these repurchase agreements, which is set by the lenders based on current market conditions, the lenders have the right to require us to repay all, or a portion, of the funds advanced, or provide additional collateral.

We had $12.65 billion in total structured debt outstanding at March 31, 2023. Of this total, $9.41 billion, or 74%, does not contain mark-to-market provisions and is comprised of non-recourse securitized debt, senior unsecured debt and junior subordinated notes, the majority of which have maturity dates in 2024, or later. The remaining $3.24 billion of debt is in credit and repurchase facilities with several different banks that we have long-standing relationships with. At March 31, 2023, we had $2.12 billion of debt from credit and repurchase facilities that were subject to margin calls related to changes in interest spreads. While we expect to extend or renew all of our facilities as they mature, we cannot provide assurance that they will be extended or renewed on as favorable terms.

Table of Contents

We had $11.11 billion in total structured debt outstanding at March 31, 2024. Of this total, $8.50 billion, or 77%, does not contain mark-to-market provisions and is comprised of non-recourse securitized debt, senior unsecured debt and junior subordinated notes. The remaining $2.61 billion of debt is in credit and repurchase facilities with several different banks that we have long-standing relationships with. At ~~May 4, 2023,~~March 31, 2024, we had $1.56 billion of debt from credit and repurchase facilities that were subject to margin calls related to changes in interest spreads.

At April 30, 2024, we had approximately ~~$785.0~~$800 million in cash and approximately ~~$560.0~~$600 million of ~~replenishable~~ cash available under our CLO vehicles, as well as other liquidity sources. In addition to our ability to extend our credit and repurchase facilities and raise funds from equity and debt offerings, we also have a ~~$28.91~~$31.38 billion agency servicing portfolio at March 31, ~~2023,~~2024, which is mostly prepayment protected and generates approximately ~~$117.0~~$122 million per year in recurring gross cash flow.

To maintain our status as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code, we must distribute annually at least 90% of our REIT-taxable income. These distribution requirements limit our ability to retain earnings and thereby replenish or increase capital for operations. However, we believe that our capital resources and access to financing will provide us with financial flexibility and market responsiveness at levels sufficient to meet current and anticipated capital and liquidity requirements.

Cash Flows. Cash flows ~~used in~~provided by operating activities totaled ~~$56.8~~$260.0 million during the three months ended March 31, ~~2023~~2024 and consisted primarily of net cash ~~outflows~~inflows of ~~$111.9~~$227.6 million ~~due to~~from loan ~~originations~~sales exceeding loan ~~sales~~originations in our Agency Business and net income (adjusted for the increase in CECL reserves of $19.4 million) of $92.6 million, partially offset by a ~~$30.2 million decrease in other liabilities, primarily due to payments made for commissions, incentive compensation and the settlement of the Extended Stay litigation and a $35.7~~$39.9 million increase in funds from payoffs due from ~~related party, partially offset by net income of $102.2 million.~~

our affiliated servicing operations.

Cash flows provided by investing activities totaled ~~$828.0~~$331.6 million during the three months ended March 31, ~~2023.~~2024. Loan and investment activity (originations and payoffs/paydowns) comprise the majority of our investing activities. Loan payoffs and paydowns from our Structured Business totaling ~~$1.19 billion,~~$670.4 million, net of originations of ~~$380.6~~$313.6 million, resulted in net cash inflows of ~~$810.4~~$356.8 million.

Cash flows used in financing activities totaled ~~$540.0~~$674.1 million during the three months ended March 31, ~~2023~~2024 and consisted primarily of ~~$344.5 million of paydowns on CLO 12 and CLO 13 (replacement period ended),~~ net cash outflows of ~~$193.3~~$321.8 million from debt facility activities (facility paydowns were greater than loan originations), $246.1 million of pay downs on existing securitizations and ~~$90.5~~$98.7 million of distributions to our stockholders and OP Unit ~~holders, partially offset by $82.7 million of proceeds from the issuance of common stock.~~

holders.

Agency Business Requirements. The Agency Business is subject to supervision by certain regulatory agencies. Among other things, these agencies require us to meet certain minimum net worth, operational liquidity and restricted liquidity collateral requirements, purchase and loss obligations and compliance with reporting requirements. Our adjusted net worth and operational liquidity exceeded the agencies’ requirements at March 31, ~~2023.~~2024. Our restricted liquidity and purchase and loss obligations were satisfied with letters of credit totaling $69.0 million and ~~$2.5 million of~~ cash.

We also enter into contractual commitments with borrowers providing rate lock commitments while simultaneously entering into forward sale commitments with investors. These commitments are outstanding for short periods of time (generally less than 60 days) and are described in Note 11.

Debt Facilities. We maintain various forms of short-term and long-term financing arrangements. Borrowings underlying these arrangements are primarily secured by a significant amount of our loans and investments and substantially all our loans held-for-sale.

We utilize our credit and repurchase facilities primarily to finance our loan originations on a short-term basis prior to loan securitizations, including through CLOs. The timing, size and frequency of our securitizations impact the balances of these borrowings and produce some fluctuations.

Our debt facilities, including their restrictive covenants, are described in Note 9.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements. At March 31, ~~2023,~~2024, we had no off-balance sheet arrangements.

Inflation. ~~The~~ We are currently in a high interest rate environment, as the Federal Reserve has raised interest rates ~~throughout 2022~~several times over the past two years to combat inflation and restore price ~~stability~~stability. Based on the latest comments from the Federal Reserve in March 2024, we expect they may begin to lower interest rates at some point during 2024. Interest rates could remain higher for longer than expected if inflation and ~~it is expected that rates will continue to rise throughout~~other economic indicators do not meet the ~~first half of 2023, potentially even longer.~~Federal Reserve's expectations. Currently, rising interest rates will positively impact our net interest income since our structured loan portfolio exceeds our corresponding debt balances and the vast majority of our loan portfolio is floating-rate based on ~~SOFR or LIBOR.~~SOFR. In addition, a greater portion of our debt is fixed-rate (convertible and senior unsecured notes), as compared to our structured loan portfolio, and will not reset as interest rates rise. Therefore, increases in interest income due to rising interest rates is likely to be greater than the corresponding increase in interest expense on our variable rate debt. See “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk” below for additional details.

Conversely, such rising interest rates have negatively impacted real estate values and have limited certain borrowers abilities to make debt service payments, which may limit new mortgage loan originations and increase the likelihood of additional delinquencies and losses incurred on defaulted loans if the reduction in the collateral value is insufficient to repay their loans in full.

~~Table of Contents~~

Contractual Obligations. During the three months ended March 31, ~~2023,~~2024, the following significant changes were made to our contractual obligations disclosed in our ~~2022~~2023 Annual Report:

●

~~issued $95.0 million of 7.75% senior unsecured notes due in 2026, and used $70.8 million of the proceeds to repurchase our 8.00% senior unsecured notes; and~~

●

~~modified existing debt facilities.~~

•

Modified existing debt facilities, resulting in a net $700.0 million decrease in the committed amount of these facilities;

•Entered into a new $250.0 million debt facility; and

•Paid down outstanding notes of CLOs 14 and 15 and Q Series securitization totaling $246.1 million.

Refer to Note 13 for a description of our debt maturities by year and unfunded commitments at March 31, ~~2023.~~

2024.

Derivative Financial Instruments

We enter into derivative financial instruments in the normal course of business to manage the potential loss exposure caused by fluctuations of interest rates. See Note 11 for details.

Critical Accounting Policies

Please refer to Note 2 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our ~~2022~~2023 Annual Report for a discussion of our critical accounting policies. During the three months ended March 31, ~~2023,~~2024, there were no material changes to these policies.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Distributable Earnings. We are presenting distributable earnings because we believe it is an important supplemental measure of our operating performance and is useful to investors, analysts and other parties in the evaluation of REITs and their ability to provide dividends to stockholders. Dividends are one of the principal reasons investors invest in REITs. To maintain REIT status, REITs are required to distribute at least 90% of their REIT-taxable income. We consider distributable earnings in determining our quarterly dividend and believe that, over time, distributable earnings is a useful indicator of our dividends per share.

We define distributable earnings as net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders computed in accordance with GAAP, adjusted for accounting items such as depreciation and amortization (adjusted for unconsolidated joint ventures), non-cash stock-based compensation expense, income from MSRs, amortization and write-offs of MSRs, gains/losses on derivative instruments primarily associated with Private Label loans not yet sold and securitized, changes in fair value of GSE-related derivatives that temporarily flow

Table of Contents

through earnings, ~~(net of any tax impact),~~ deferred tax provision (benefit), CECL provisions for credit losses (adjusted for realized losses as described below), and gains/losses on the receipt of real estate from the settlement of loans (prior to the sale of the real estate). We also add back one-time charges such as acquisition costs and one-time gains/losses on the early extinguishment of debt and redemption of preferred stock.

We reduce distributable earnings for realized losses in the period we determine that a loan is deemed nonrecoverable in whole or in part. Loans are deemed nonrecoverable upon the earlier of: (1) when the loan receivable is settled (i.e., when the loan is repaid, or in the case of foreclosure, when the underlying asset is sold); or (2) when we determine that it is nearly certain that all amounts due will not be collected. The realized loss amount is equal to the difference between the cash received, or expected to be received, and the book value of the asset.

Distributable earnings is not intended to be an indication of our cash flows from operating activities (determined in accordance with GAAP) or a measure of our liquidity, nor is it entirely indicative of funding our cash needs, including our ability to make cash distributions. Our calculation of distributable earnings may be different from the calculations used by other companies and, therefore, comparability may be limited.

Interest income earned on escrows is included as a component of servicing revenue, net and interest income earned on our cash and restricted cash is included as a component of interest income in the consolidated statements of income. The interest earned on our cash, restricted cash and escrows is based on an average daily balance and may be different from the end of period balance. Additionally, the interest rates on these balances are not indexed to an Index Rate and are negotiated periodically with each

(1)Represents the UPB of our structured loan portfolio, the principal balance of our debt and the account balances of our cash, restricted cash and escrows at March 31, 2024.

(2)Our cash, restricted cash and escrows are currently earning interest at a weighted average blended rate of approximately 5.0%, or approximately $140.0 million annually. Interest income earned on our cash and restricted cash is included as a component of interest income and interest income earned on escrows is included as a component of servicing revenue, net in the consolidated statements of income. The interest earned on our cash, restricted cash and escrows is based on an average daily balance and may be different from the end of period balance.

We entered into treasury futures to hedge our exposure to changes in interest rates inherent in (1) our held-for-sale Agency Business Private Label loans from the time the loans are rate locked until sale and securitization, and (2) our Agency Business SFR – fixed rate loans from the time the loans are originated until the time they can be financed with match term fixed rate securitized debt. Our ~~interest rate swaps~~treasury futures are tied to the five-year and ten-year ~~swap~~treasury rates and hedge our exposure to Private Label loans, until the time they are securitized, and changes in the fair value of our held-for-sale Agency Business SFR – fixed rate loans. A 50 basis point and a 100 basis point increase to the five-year and ten-year ~~swap~~treasury rates on our ~~interest rate swaps~~treasury futures held at March 31, ~~2023~~2024 would have resulted in a gain of ~~$1.0~~$0.3 million and ~~$2.0~~$0.7 million, respectively, in the three months ended March 31, ~~2023,~~2024, while a 50 basis point and a 100 basis point decrease in the rates would have resulted in a loss of ~~$1.1~~$0.4 million and ~~$2.2~~$0.7 million, respectively.

Our Agency Business originates, sells and services a range of multifamily finance products with Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and HUD. Our loans held-for-sale to these agencies are not currently exposed to interest rate risk during the loan commitment, closing and delivery process. The sale or placement of each loan to an investor is negotiated prior to closing on the loan with the borrower, and the sale or placement is generally effectuated within 60 days of closing. The coupon rate for the loan is set after we establish the interest rate with the investor.

In addition, the fair value of our MSRs is subject to market risk since a significant driver of the fair value of these assets is the discount rates. A 100 basis point increase in the weighted average discount rate would decrease the fair value of our MSRs by ~~$16.7~~$16.2 million at March 31, ~~2023,~~2024, while a 100 basis point decrease would increase the fair value by ~~$17.6~~$17.1 million.

Item 4.Controls and Procedures

Management, with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures at March 31, ~~2023.~~2024. Based on this evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at March 31, ~~2023.~~

In March 2023, the Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program providing for the repurchase of up to $50.0 million of our outstanding common stock. The repurchase of our common stock may be made from time to time in the open market, through privately negotiated transactions, or otherwise in compliance with Rule 10b-18 and Rule 10b5-1 under the ~~Securities~~ Exchange Act, ~~of 1934,~~ based on our stock price, general market conditions, applicable legal requirements and other factors. In December 2023, the Board of Directors authorized an increase to the remaining availability under the share repurchase program to $150.0 million. At March 31, 2024, there was $150.0 million available for repurchase under this program. The program may be discontinued or modified at any time.
