Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements ~~(unaudited)~~

Note 1. Organization and Operations

Granite Point Mortgage Trust Inc., or the Company, is an internally managed real estate finance company that focuses primarily on directly originating, investing in and managing senior floating-rate commercial mortgage loans and other debt and debt-like commercial real estate investments. These investments are capitalized by accessing a variety of funding ~~options,~~sources, including borrowing under ~~our~~the Company’s bank credit facilities or other asset-specific financings, issuing commercial real estate collateralized loan obligations, or CRE CLOs, ~~entering into term financing agreements,~~ and issuing other forms of secured and unsecured debt and equity securities, depending on market conditions and ~~our~~the Company’s view of the most appropriate funding option available for ~~our~~the Company’s investments. ~~Our~~The Company is not in the business of buying or trading securities, and the only securities it owns are the retained interests from its CRE CLOs. The Company’s investment objective is to preserve ~~our~~the Company’s stockholders’ capital while generating attractive risk-adjusted returns over the long term, primarily through dividends derived from current income produced by ~~our~~the Company’s investment portfolio. ~~Our~~The Company’s common stock is listed on the New York Stock Exchange, or NYSE, under the symbol “GPMT”. ~~We operate our~~The Company operates its business in a manner that ~~will~~is intended to permit usit to maintain ~~our~~its exclusion from registration under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, or the Investment Company Act. ~~We operate our~~The Company operates its business as 1 segment. ~~We were~~The Company was incorporated in Maryland on April 7, 2017, and commenced operations as a publicly traded company on June ~~28.~~28, 2017.

The Company has elected to be treated as a real estate investment trust, or REIT, as defined under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the Code, for U.S. federal income tax purposes. As long as the Company continues to comply with a number of requirements under federal tax law and maintains its qualification as a REIT, the Company generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income taxes to the extent that the Company distributes its taxable income to its stockholders on an annual basis and does not engage in prohibited transactions. However, certain activities that the Company may perform may cause it to earn income which will not be qualifying income for REIT purposes. The Company has designated one of its subsidiaries as a taxable REIT subsidiary, or TRS, as defined in the Code, to engage in such activities.

Through December 31, 2020, the Company was externally managed by Pine River Capital Management L.P., or the Former Manager, at which time the Company internalized its management function, or the Internalization.

Note 2. Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies

Consolidation and Basis of Presentation

The interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, or ~~the~~ SEC. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, have been condensed or omitted according to such SEC rules and regulations. However, management believes that the disclosures included in these interim condensed consolidated financial statements are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2020.~~2021. In the opinion of management, all normal and recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial condition of the Company at June 30, ~~2021~~2022, and results of operations for all periods presented, have been made. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, ~~2021~~2022, should not be construed as indicative of the results to be expected for future periods or the full year.

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company include the accounts of all subsidiaries; inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.

All entities in which the Company holds investments that are considered VIEs for financial reporting purposes were reviewed for consolidation under the applicable consolidation guidance. Whenever the Company has both the power to direct the activities of an entity that most significantly impact the entity’s performance, and the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits of the entity that could be significant, the Company consolidates the entity.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make a number of significant estimates. These include estimates of amount and timing of allowances for credit losses, fair value of certain assets and liabilities, and other estimates that affect the reported amounts of certain assets and liabilities as of the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of certain revenues and expenses during the reported period. It is likely that changes in these estimates (e.g., valuation changes to the underlying collateral of loans due to changes in market interest and capitalization rates, leasing, credit worthiness of major tenants, occupancy rates, availability of financing, exit plan, loan sponsorship, actions of other lenders, overall economic and capital markets conditions, the broader commercial real estate market, local geographic sub-markets or other factors) will occur in the near term. ~~As of June 30, 2021, the COVID-19~~

The longer-term macroeconomic ~~disruptions, increased rates of unemployment and has adversely impacted~~effects continue to impact many industries, including those related to the ~~real estate~~ collateral underlying certain of ~~our~~the Company’s loans. ~~So far~~Moreover, with the potential for new strains of COVID-19 to emerge, governments and businesses may re-impose aggressive measures to help slow its spread in ~~2021,~~ the ~~global and U.S. economic activity has, to varying degrees, begun to improve,~~future. For this reason, among others, as wider distribution of the COVID-19 vaccines has continued. As a result, macroeconomic forecasts have improved over the last few quarters, including expectations for unemployment rates and overall economic output. Nonetheless, the ongoing pandemic may continue to adversely impact macroeconomic recovery, particularly with respect to the emergence of new variants of the COVID-19 virus, the continued distribution and acceptance of vaccines and the effectiveness of such vaccines against new variants of the COVID-19 virus. Even though the overall market conditions have been improving, the fluid nature of this situation precludes any prediction as to the ultimate adverse impact of the COVID-19 pandemic ~~on economic~~continues, the potential global impacts are uncertain and ~~real estate markets. Accordingly, given~~difficult to assess. In addition, the ~~ongoing nature~~pandemic continues to disrupt global supply chains and cause labor shortages and has added to broad inflationary pressures, all of which could negatively impact the ~~outbreak, at this time the Company cannot reasonably estimate the magnitude of the long-term impact that COVID-19 may have~~Company’s borrowers’ ability to execute on the business plans on their properties and potentially affect their ability to perform under the terms of their loan agreements. In response to the inflationary pressures, the Federal Reserve has begun raising interest rates and has indicated it anticipates further interest rate increases. Such increases in interest rates may increase the Company’s ~~business, financial performance~~interest expense, which may not be fully offset by any increases in interest income, and ~~operating results.~~ may also slow the pace of loan repayments and increase the number of borrowers who seek extension of term on their loans.

The Company believes the estimates and assumptions underlying its condensed consolidated financial statements are reasonable and supportable based on the information available as of June 30, ~~2021.~~2022. However, uncertainty over the ultimate impact ~~the~~ COVID-19, ~~pandemic~~Federal Reserve actions and geopolitical uncertainty will have on the global ~~economy~~and U.S. economies generally, and the Company’s business in particular, makes any estimates and assumptions as of June 30, ~~2021~~2022, inherently less certain than they would be absent the current and potential impacts of ~~the COVID-19 pandemic.~~these factors. The Company’s actual results could ultimately differ from its estimates and such differences may be material.

Significant Accounting Policies

Included in Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2020~~2021, is a summary of the Company’s significant accounting policies. Provided below is a summary of additional accounting policies that are significant to the Company’s condensed consolidated financial condition and results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, ~~2021.~~

~~Term Financing Facility~~

The Company finances certain of its loans held-for-investment through the use of a term financing facility. Borrowings under the term financing facility bear an interest rate of a specified margin over the one-month London Interbank Offered Rate, or LIBOR. The term financing facility financings are treated as collateralized financing transactions and are carried at their contractual amounts, as specified in the respective agreements.2022.

Recently Issued and/or Adopted Accounting Standards

Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures

In March 2022, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, issued ASU 2022-02, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures, or ASU 2022-02. The intention of ASU 2022-02 is to simplify the guidance surrounding loan modifications and restructurings and to eliminate the accounting guidance related to troubled debt restructurings, or TDR. The new guidance deviates from TDR guidance as disclosures are now based on whether a modification or restructuring with a borrower experiencing financial difficulty results in principal forgiveness, an interest rate reduction, a significant payment delay or term extension as opposed to simply a concession. The new guidance requires disclosure by class of financing receivables, of the types of modifications, the financial effects of those modifications and the performance of those modified receivables in the last twelve months. As it relates to ASC 326-20 the Company is now allowed to use any acceptable method to determine credit losses as a result of modification or restructuring with a borrower experiencing financial difficulty. ASU 2022-02 also requires disclosure of gross write-offs recorded in the current period, on a year-to-date basis, by year of origination in the vintage disclosures. ASU 2022-02 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022. Entities are able to early adopt these amendments and have the ability to early adopt the TDR enhancements separately from the vintage disclosures. The Company has not yet adopted this ASU and will continue to evaluate the effects of adoption.

Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting

In March 2020, FASB issued ASU No. 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting, or ASU No. 2020-04, which provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to debt instruments, derivatives, and other contracts that reference the London Interbank Offered Rate, or LIBOR, or other reference rates expected to be discontinued as a result of reference rate reform. This guidance is optional and may be elected through December 31, 2022, using a prospective application on all eligible contract modifications. The Company has loan agreements and debt agreements that incorporate LIBOR as a referenced interest rate. It is difficult to predict what effect, if any, the phase-out of LIBOR and the use of alternative benchmarks may have on the Company’s business or on the overall financial markets. The Company has not adopted any of the optional expedients or exceptions through June 30, ~~2021,~~2022, but will continue to evaluate the possible adoption of any such expedients or exceptions.

~~Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity~~

~~In August 2020,~~

GRANITE POINT MORTGAGE TRUST INC.

Notes to the ~~FASB issued ASU No. 2020-06,~~ Debt – Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity, or ASU No. 2020-06. The intention of ASU No. 2020-06 is to address the complexities in accounting for certain financial instruments with a debt and equity component. Under ASU No. 2020-06, the number of accounting models for convertible notes will be reduced and entities that issue convertible debt will be required to use the if-converted method for the computation of diluted "Earnings per share" under ASC 260. ASC 2020-06 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021 and may be adopted through either a modified retrospective method of transition or a fully retrospective method of transition. The Company is currently assessing the impact this guidance will have on its condensed consolidated financial statements.Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 3. Loans Held-for-Investment, Net of Allowance for Credit Losses

The Company originates and acquires commercial real estate debt and related instruments generally to be held as long-term investments. These assets are classified as “loans held-for-investment” on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Loans held-for-investment are reported at cost, net of any unamortized acquisition premiums or discounts, loan fees, origination costs and allowance for credit losses, as applicable.

Allowance for Credit Losses

Subsequent to the adoption of ASU 2016-13 on January 1, 2020, to estimate and recognize an allowance for credit losses on loans held-for-investment and ~~their~~the related unfunded commitments, the Company continues to use a third-party licensed probability-weighted analytical model. The Company employs quarterly updated macroeconomic forecasts, which reflect expectations for overall economic output, interest rates, values of real estate properties and other factors, including the ongoing ~~impact~~impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, geopolitical instability and the Federal Reserve monetary policy on the overall U.S. economy and commercial real estate markets generally. Driven by the general progress around the development and distribution of the COVID-19 vaccines over the last few quarters, those macroeconomic forecasts have been improving, including expectations for unemployment rates, overall economic output and values of real estate properties. Significant inputs to the Company’s estimate of the allowance for credit

losses include loan specific factors such as debt service coverage ratio, or DSCR, loan to value ratio, or LTV, remaining contractual loan term, property type and others. As part of the quarterly review of the portfolio, the Company assesses the expected repayment date of each loan, which is used to determine the contractual term for purposes of computing the current expected credit loss, or CECL, reserve. In certain instances, for loans with unique risk and credit characteristics, the Company may instead elect to employ different methods to estimate an allowance for credit losses that also conform to ASU 2016-13 and related guidance.

As of June 30, ~~2021,~~2022, the Company recognized an allowance for credit losses related to its loans held-for-investment of ~~$57.7~~$47.3 million, which ~~reflected~~reflects a ~~benefit from~~total increase in the provision for credit losses of ~~$1.8~~$13.1 million for the three months ended June 30, ~~2021.~~2022. The ~~benefit from provision for credit losses related to expectations for further improvement in macroeconomic conditions and the $423.0~~increase of $13.1 million ~~of loan repayments and principal amortization, was mostly offset by establishing an allowance for credit losses related to $163.4~~includes a $4.0 million ~~of new loan originations and an~~ increase in the allowance for credit ~~loss~~losses related to an office loan with an unpaid ~~principal~~ balance of ~~$54.9~~$93.8 million that was individually assessed in accordance with ASU 2016-13 during the three months ended June 30, ~~2021,~~2022, as further discussed below.

portfolio mix and implementing in its analysis a more conservative macroeconomic forecast driven by an elevated uncertainty for the macroeconomic outlook due to inflationary pressures, continuing supply chain disruptions, interest rate volatility and other factors, moderately offset by a recovery of $0.5 million on amounts previously written off.

The allowance for credit losses related to the Company’s loans held-for-investment is deducted from the amortized cost basis of related loans, while the allowance for credit losses related to off-balance sheet unfunded commitments on existing loans is recorded as a component of other liabilities on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets.

During the three months ended June 30, 2022, a first mortgage loan with a principal balance of $93.8 million was downgraded to a risk rating of “5” as a result of the continued adverse impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on leasing for the collateral property, an office building in downtown San Diego, CA (see “Loan Risk Ratings” below). The Company determined that the recovery of its loan principal is collateral-dependent. Accordingly, this loan was assessed individually, and the Company has elected to apply a practical expedient in accordance with ASU 2016-13. At June 30, 2022, the Company recorded an allowance for credit loss of $4.5 million on the unpaid principal balance of this loan based on the Company’s estimate of fair value using the estimated proceeds available from the sale of the collateral property less the estimated cost to sell the property. Additionally, as of June 30, 2022, the Company placed this loan on nonaccrual status.

During the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company resolved a senior loan that had an outstanding unpaid principal balance of $54.0 million. The loan had been previously placed on nonaccrual status. The Company recognized a write-off of $10.1 million on the sale of the loan.

Generally, loans held-for-investment are placed on nonaccrual status when delinquent for more than 90 days or earlier when determined not to be probable of full collection. Interest income recognition is suspended when loans are placed on nonaccrual status. ~~During the three months ended June 30, 2021, the Company placed three loans on nonaccrual status and reversed $2.1 million of accrued interest related to these loans.~~ As of June 30, ~~2021,~~2022, the Company ~~had four~~has 2 senior loans with a total unpaid principal balance of ~~$259.6~~$207.9 million and carrying value of ~~$225.1~~$188.8 million that are held on nonaccrual status. ~~Any reversal of accrued interest income is recorded in interest income on the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss).~~ No other loans were considered past due, and no other loans were held on nonaccrual status as of June 30, ~~2021.~~2022.

Loan Risk Ratings

The Company’s primary credit quality indicators are its risk ratings. The Company evaluates the credit quality of each loan at least quarterly by assessing the risk factors of each loan and assigning a risk rating based on a variety of factors. Risk factors include property type, geographic and local market dynamics, physical condition, leasing and tenant profile, projected cash flow, loan structure and exit plan, LTV, project sponsorship and other factors deemed necessary. Risk ratings are defined as follows:

1 –Lower Risk

2 –Average Risk

3 –Acceptable Risk

4 –Higher Risk: A loan that has exhibited material deterioration in cash flows and/or other credit factors, which, if negative trends continue, could be indicative of probability of principal loss.

5 –Loss Likely: A loan that has a significantly increased probability of principal loss.

The following table presents the number of loans, unpaid principal balance and carrying value by risk rating for loans held-for-investment as of June 30, ~~2021~~2022, and December 31, ~~2020:~~2021:

During the three months ended June 30, 2021, the Company downgraded two loans with an aggregate principal balance of $169.0 million and a total carrying value of $145.4 million to a risk rating of “5”. These risk rating downgrades are due to new information available during the three months ended June 30, 2021 related to the operating performance of the collateral properties securing these loans, which have been adversely affected by market conditions driven by the COVID-19 pandemic. The Company determined that both of these loans met the criteria for individual assessment under the CECL framework, as further discussed below.

During the three months ended June 30, 2021, the Company entered into a loan modification related to a retail asset located in Pasadena, CA, which is classified as troubled debt restructuring under GAAP. This modification included, among other changes, a partial deferral of the loan’s contractual interest payments due to the collateral property’s cash flows and operating performance being adversely affected by the ongoing effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. This loan had also been previously modified. At June 30, 2021, this first mortgage loan had an outstanding principal balance of $114.1 million, a maturity date of July 9, 2021 and was assigned a risk rating of “5”. The Company determined that the recovery of its loan principal is collateral-dependent. Accordingly, this loan was assessed individually and the Company has elected to apply a practical expedient in accordance with ASU 2016-13. At June 30, 2021, the Company recorded an allowance for credit loss of $14.1 million on this loan based on the Company’s estimate of fair value of the loan’s underlying collateral using the discounted cash flow method of valuation less the estimated cost to foreclose and sell the property. The estimation of the fair value of the collateral property also involved using various Level 3 inputs, which were in part developed based on discussions with various market participants and management’s best estimates as of the valuation date, and required significant judgment. Additionally, as of June 30, 2021, the Company placed this loan on nonaccrual status and reversed $0.3 million of interest income. Subsequent to June 30, 2021, this loan’s maturity date passed without the loan being paid off. The Company is evaluating a variety of potential options with respect2022, as compared to the ~~resolution~~period ended December 31, 2021, reflects originations of ~~this loan, which, among others, may include a foreclosure, negotiated deed-in-lieu of foreclosure, a sale~~new loans and improvement in the performance of the ~~underlying collateral property or a sale of~~properties securing select loans within the ~~loan.~~

Note 5. Secured Financing Agreements

To finance its loans held-for-investment, the Company has entered into a variety of secured financing arrangements with several counterparties, including repurchase facilities, an asset-specific financing facility and a term financing facility. The Company’s repurchase facilities are collateralized by loans held-for-investment and certain cash balances. Although the transactions under repurchase facilities represent committed borrowings until maturity, the respective lender retains the right to mark the underlying collateral to fair value. A reduction in the value of pledged assets due to collateral-specific credit events, or, with respect to a limited number of the Company’s repurchase facilities, capital market events, would require the Company to fund margin calls. The Company does not typically retain similar rights for the Company to make margin calls on its underlying borrowers as a result of a determination by the Company and/or its financing counterparty that there has been a decrease in the market value of the underlying pledged collateral.

The Company’s asset-specific financing facility ~~and term financing facility are~~is also collateralized by loans held-for-investment. ~~Neither~~The facility ~~contains~~does not contain mark-to-market provisions and ~~both are~~is generally term-matched to the underlying ~~assets, not to exceed February 9, 2025 in the case of the term financing facility.~~assets.

Note 7. Senior Secured Term Loan Facilities and Warrants to Purchase Shares of Common Stock

Senior Secured Term Loan Facilities

On September 25, 2020, the Company, as a guarantor, and certain ~~subsidiaries~~ of ~~the Company,~~its subsidiaries, as borrowers, entered into a five-year senior secured term loan credit agreement with certain investment vehicles managed by Pacific Investment Management Company LLC, or PIMCO, providing for up to $300.0 million of ~~new~~senior secured term loan facilities. On September 28, 2020, the Company borrowed $225.0 million under the initial term loan facility. The senior secured term loan facilities had a maturity date of September 25, 2025.

On December 9, 2021, the Company prepaid $75.0 million of borrowings under the senior secured term loan facilities, resulting in a total payment of approximately $79.9 million, inclusive of the principal amount, prepayment penalty and accrued interest. As a result of this repayment, the Company realized a charge on early extinguishment of debt of approximately $(8.9) million, or $(0.17) per share, comprised of the prepayment penalty and a pro-rata charge-off of unamortized discount including transaction costs.

On February 16, 2022, the Company prepaid an additional $50.0 million of borrowings under the senior secured term loan facilities, resulting in a total payment of approximately $53.0 million, inclusive of the principal amount, prepayment penalty and accrued interest. As a result of this repayment, the Company realized a charge on early extinguishment of debt of approximately $(5.8) million, or $(0.11) per basic share, comprised of the prepayment penalty and a pro-rata charge-off of unamortized discount including transaction costs.

During the three months ended June 30, 2022, the Company fully prepaid the remaining $100.0 million of borrowings under the senior secured term loan facilities, resulting in a total payment of approximately $105.7 million, inclusive of the principal amount, prepayment penalty and accrued interest. As a result of this repayment, the Company realized a charge on early extinguishment of debt of approximately $(11.3) million, or $(0.21) per basic share, comprised of the prepayment penalty and a charge-off of unamortized discount including transaction costs.

Warrants to Purchase Shares of Common Stock

In connection with the senior secured term loan facilities, on September 25, 2020, the Company issued warrants to purchase ~~in the aggregate,~~ up to ~~6,065,820~~6.066 million shares of the Company’s common stock, $0.01 par value per ~~share. The senior secured term loan credit agreement is guaranteed~~share, to certain investment vehicles managed by PIMCO.

On September 25, 2021, the warrantholders forfeited unvested warrants exercisable for 1,516,455 shares of common stock because the Company ~~and certain~~chose not to borrow the $75.0 million of ~~its subsidiaries and secured by certain of their unencumbered assets and pledges of certain equity interests held by the Company and its subsidiaries. The loans outstanding~~delayed draw commitments available under the senior secured term loan ~~facilities are non-amortizing and may be voluntarily repaid, in whole or in part,~~facilities.

On September 28, 2020, the Company borrowed $225.0 million under the initial senior secured term loan facility. The remaining $75.0 million of commitments under the senior secured term loan facilities are available to the Company on a delayed draw basis during the period ending September 25, 2021, which became effective on March 25, 2021, upon the Company exercising its option to extend the delayed draw period for six months and paying an extension fee of approximately $0.8 million. A portion of the warrants exercisable for 1,516,455 shares of common stock are subject to (i) vesting on a pro rata basis as draws occur under the delayed draw senior secured term loan facility or (ii) forfeiture on a pro rata basis to the extent of commitments under the delayed draw senior secured term loan facility that are ultimately terminated or undrawn. The net proceeds from the initial senior secured term loan facility were approximately $210.2 million after deducting discounts and expenses, which were capitalized as debt issuance costs. Interest on the outstanding loans under the senior secured term loan facilities is payable quarterly in arrears and accrues at the rate of (i) 8.00% per annum for any period for which accrued interest is paid in cash or (ii) 9.00% per annum for any period for which the borrowers elect to pay up to 50% of accrued interest in kind by adding such interest to the principal amount of the loans.~~The senior secured term loan facilities will mature on September 25, 2025.~~

The warrants issued in conjunction with entering into the senior secured term loan credit agreement are exercisable at the holder’s option at any time, and from time to time, on or after September 25, 2021, in whole or in part at an initial exercise price of $6.47 per share of common stock, subject to certain antidilution adjustments. The warrants will expire on September 25, 2026. The Company may settle the exercise of the warrants in cash or by issuing net shares of common stock, at its option.

The Company recorded the value of the senior secured term loan facilities and the warrants on a relative fair value basis. The estimated fair value of the warrants at the date of issuance was approximately $4.5 million and was recognized as a discount to the senior secured term loan facilities. See Note 12 - ~~Stockholders’ Equity~~ ~~and Note 16 -~~ ~~Earnings Per Share~~ ~~for further details.~~

The table below summarizes the net carrying amount of the senior secured term loan facilities:

Less: Unamortized debt discount and issuance costs (17,119) (18,552)
Net carrying value $ 207,881 $ 206,448

The senior secured term loan credit agreement contains various affirmative and negative covenants, which are applicable to the Company, the borrowers and their respective subsidiaries, including limitations (subject to exceptions) on their ability to: (i) incur indebtedness; (ii) incur liens on their assets; (iii) consummate certain fundamental changes; (iv) dispose of all or any part of their assets; (v) pay dividends or other distributions with respect to their equity interests; (vi) make investments; (vii) enter into transactions with their affiliates; (viii) modify the terms of the Company’s existing convertible notes, any refinancings thereof or any subordinated or junior lien indebtedness, or prepay any such indebtedness; and (ix) enter into certain burdensome agreements.

The senior secured term loan credit agreement also contains financial covenants that are substantially similar to the financial covenants under the Company’s repurchase facilities and asset-specific financing facility. If the Company fails to meet or satisfy any of the covenants in accordance with the senior secured term loan credit agreement and is unable to obtain a waiver or other suitable relief from the lenders, the Company would be in default and the Company’s lenders could elect to declare outstanding amounts due and payable. The Company was in compliance with all of its financial covenants as of June 30, 2021.

Note 9. Fair Value

Fair Value Measurements

ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements, or ASC 820, defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. ASC 820 clarifies that fair value should be based on the assumptions market participants would use when pricing an asset or liability and establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the information used to develop those assumptions. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices available in active markets (i.e., market-based or observable inputs) and the lowest priority to data lacking transparency (i.e., unobservable inputs) resulting in the use of management assumptions. Additionally, ASC 820 requires an entity to consider all aspects of nonperformance risk, including the entity’s own credit standing, when measuring fair value of a liability.

ASC 820 establishes a three-level hierarchy to be used when measuring and disclosing fair value. An instrument’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of significant input to its valuation. Following is a description of the three levels:

Level 1Inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the measurement date under current market conditions. Additionally, the entity must have the ability to access the active market and the quoted prices cannot be adjusted by the entity.

Level 2Inputs include quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in inactive markets for identical or similar assets or liabilities; or inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means for substantially the full-term of the assets or liabilities.

Level 3Unobservable inputs are supported by little or no market activity. The unobservable inputs represent the assumptions that market participants would use to price the assets and liabilities, including risk. Generally, Level 3 assets and liabilities are valued using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies or similar techniques that require significant judgment or estimation.

Recurring Fair Value

As of ~~June��~~June 30, ~~2021~~2022, and December 31, ~~2020,~~2021, the Company held no assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis.

Nonrecurring Fair Value

The Company may be required to measure certain assets or liabilities at fair value from time to time. These periodic fair value measures typically result from ~~the application of certain impairment measures~~establishing allowances for collateral-dependent assets under GAAP. These items would constitute nonrecurring fair value measures under ASC 820. For collateral-dependent loans that are identified as impaired, the Company measures ~~impairment~~allowance for credit losses by comparing its estimation of the fair value of the underlying collateral, less costs to sell, to the carrying value of the respective loan. To estimate the fair value of the underlying collateral the Company may (i) use certain valuation techniques which, among others, may include a discounted cash flow method of valuation, or (ii) by obtaining a third-party independent assessment of value such as an appraisal or other opinion of value. These valuations require significant judgments, which include assumptions regarding capitalization rates, discount rates, leasing, creditworthiness of major tenants, occupancy rates, availability and cost of financing, exit plan, loan sponsorship, actions of other lenders, and other factors deemed relevant.

During the three months ended June 30, ~~2021,~~2022, the Company maintained its risk rating of “5” on one, and assigned a risk rating of “5” to ~~three~~another, of its loans held-for-investment during the quarterly risk rating process. As of June 30, ~~2021, these three loans have~~2022, the first loan had an aggregate outstanding principal balance of ~~$237.1~~$114.1 million and an aggregate carrying value of ~~$204.3~~$99.5 million, and the second loan had an aggregate outstanding principal balance of $93.8 million and an aggregate carrying value of $89.3 million. The Company recorded a CECL reserve on ~~these three assets~~the second loan based on its estimation of the fair value of the ~~each~~ loan’s underlying property collateral, less costs to sell, as of June 30, ~~2021.~~2022. These loans held-for-investment are therefore measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis using significant unobservable inputs and are classified as Level 3 assets in the fair value hierarchy. The significant unobservable inputs used to estimate the fair value on the loan with an aggregate outstanding principal balance of ~~these loans held-for-investment~~$114.1 million and an aggregate carrying value of $99.5 million include the exit capitalization rate and discount rate assumptions used to forecast the future sale price of the underlying real estate collateral, which ranged from ~~5.50%~~6.50% to ~~7.50%~~7.00%, and from ~~7.00%~~9.00% to ~~10.00%~~9.50%, respectively. Refer to Note 3 - Loans Held-for-Investment, Net of Allowance for Credit Losses for further detail.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

In accordance with ASC 820, the Company is required to disclose the fair value of financial instruments, both assets and liabilities recognized and not recognized in the condensed consolidated balance sheets, for which fair value can be estimated.

The following describes the Company’s methods for estimating the fair value for financial instruments:

•Loans held-for-investment are carried at cost, net of any unamortized acquisition premiums or discounts, loan fees, origination costs and allowance for credit losses, as applicable. The Company estimates the fair value of its loans held-for-investment by assessing any changes in market interest rates, credit spreads for loans of comparable risk as corroborated by inquiry of other market participants, shifts in credit profiles and actual operating results, ~~for mezzanine loans and senior loans,~~ taking into consideration such factors as underlying property type, property competitive position within its market, market and submarket fundamentals, tenant mix, nature of business plan, sponsorship, extent of leverage and other loan terms. The Company categorizes the fair value measurement of these assets as Level 3.

•Cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash have a carrying value which approximates fair value because of the short maturities of these instruments. The Company categorizes the fair value measurement of these assets as Level 1.

•The carrying value of the underlying loans in the repurchase facilities, the asset-specific financing facility and the term financing facility that mature in less than one year generally approximates fair value due to the short maturities. The Company’s long-term repurchase facilities, asset-specific financing facility and term financing facility have floating rates based on an index plus a credit spread and the credit spread is typically consistent with those demanded in the market. Accordingly, the interest rates on these borrowings are at market and, thus, carrying value approximates fair value. The Company categorizes the fair value measurement of these liabilities as Level 2.

•Securitized debt obligations are recorded at outstanding principal, net of any unamortized deferred debt issuance costs. In determining the fair value of its securitized debt obligations, management’s judgment may be used to arrive at fair value that considers prices obtained from third-party pricing providers, broker quotes received and other applicable market data. If observable market prices are not available or insufficient to determine fair value due principally to illiquidity in the marketplace, then fair value is based upon internally developed models that are primarily based on observable market-based inputs but also include unobservable market data inputs (including prepayment speeds, delinquency levels and credit losses). The Company categorizes the fair value measurement of these liabilities as Level 2.

The Company estimates the fair value of its convertible senior notes using the market transaction price nearest to June 30, ~~2021.~~2022. The Company categorizes the fair value measurement of these assets as Level 2.

•Senior secured term loan facilities are carried at their unpaid principal balance, net of any unamortized deferred issuance costs.

Note 10. Commitments and Contingencies

The following represent the material commitments and contingencies of the Company as of June 30, ~~2021:~~2022:

Legal and Regulatory

From time to time, the Company may be subject to liability under laws and government regulations and various claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. Liabilities are established for legal claims when payments associated with the claims become probable and the costs can be reasonably estimated. The actual costs of resolving legal claims may be substantially higher or lower than the amounts established for those claims. Based on information currently available, management is not aware of any legal or regulatory claims that would have a material effect on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements and, therefore, no accrual is required as of June 30, ~~2021.~~

~~Unfunded Commitments on Loans Held-for-Investment~~2022.

Unfunded Commitments on Loans Held-for-Investment

Certain of the Company’s commercial real estate loan agreements contain provisions and obligations to extend credit to its borrowers through its unfunded loan commitments over the contractual period of its loans. As of June 30, ~~2021~~2022, and December 31, ~~2020,~~2021, the Company had unfunded loan commitments of ~~$441.1~~$358.7 million and ~~$503.7~~$403.6 million, respectively, on loans held-for-investment, which it expects to fund, subject to the satisfaction of any conditions precedent to such commitments, over the tenure of these ~~loans, which have a weighted average future funding period of approximately two years.~~loans. These commitments generally provide funding for lease-related or capital improvement expenditures, as well as interest and carry costs, all of which will vary depending on the progress of capital improvement projects, leasing and cash flows at the properties that serve as collateral for the Company’s loans. Therefore, the exact timing and amounts of such loan balance future fundings are generally uncertain and will depend on the current and future performance of the collateral properties. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on the global and U.S. economies, generally, and the U.S. commercial real estate market, specifically, the pace of lease-related or capital improvement expenditures may be slower than otherwise expected, and the pace of associated future fundings relating to these capital needs accordingly may be similarly slower; however, the exact timing and amounts are uncertain. The Company typically finances the funding of its loan commitments on terms generally consistent with its overall financing facilities; however, most of its financing agreement counterparties are not obligated to fund their ratable portion of these loan commitments over time and have varying degrees of discretion over future loan funding obligations, including the advance rates on their fundings. The Company may be obligated to fund loan commitments with respect to a pledged asset even if the applicable financing counterparty will not fund their ratable portion of the loan commitment and/or has made margin calls with respect to such pledged asset. As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and the increased degree of uncertainty it has created, the Company’s financing agreement counterparties may be less likely to finance its future loan funding commitments than they were prior to the COVID-19 pandemic.

As of June 30, ~~2021,~~2022, the Company recognized ~~$5.2~~$2.8 million in other liabilities related to the allowance for credit losses on unfunded loan commitments. ~~During the six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company recognized a benefit from provision~~See Note 3 - Loans Held-for-Investment, Net of Allowance for ~~credit losses of $0.3 million on unfunded commitments. During the three months ended June 30, 2021, the Company recognized an increase to the provision~~Credit Losses for credit losses of $1.6 million on unfunded commitments. Changes in the provision for credit losses for unfunded commitments are recognized through net income on the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss).further detail.

The Company accounts for equity-based awards under ASC 718 - Compensation - Stock Compensation, which requires the Company to expense the cost of services received in exchange for equity-based awards based on the grant-date fair value of the awards. This expense is recognized ratably over the requisite service period following the date of grant. The fair value of awards of the ~~Company's~~Company’s restricted ~~common~~ stock and RSUs is typically equivalent to the closing stock price on the grant date. The unrecognized compensation cost relating to such awards is recognized as an expense over the awards’ remaining vesting periods.

As of June 30, 2022, there was $0.3 million of total unrecognized compensation cost for awards of restricted stock that will be recognized over the grants’ remaining weighted average vesting period of 1.1 years. For the three and six months ended June 30, ~~2021,~~2022, the Company recognized ~~$1.6~~$0.1 million and ~~$3.5~~$0.4 million ~~respectively,~~ of compensation expense associated with ~~all of the~~these awards, ~~under the Plan,~~respectively, compared to ~~$1.3~~$0.5 million and ~~$2.7~~$1.4 million ~~respectively, recognized~~ for the three and six months ended June 30, ~~2020,~~2021, respectively, within ~~other operating~~compensation and benefits expense on the condensed consolidated statements of income.

As of June 30, 2022, there was $8.8 million of total unrecognized compensation cost for awards of RSUs that will be recognized over the grants’ remaining weighted average vesting period of 2.0 years. For three and six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company recognized $1.5 million and $2.8 million of compensation expense associated with these awards, respectively, compared to $1.1 million and $1.9 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, repectively, within compensation and benefits expense on the condensed consolidated statements of income.

Awards of PSUs have a three-year cliff vesting with the number of performance-based stock units vesting at the end of the three-year period based upon the Company’s absolute and relative “core” return on average equity, or Core ROAE, performance, as set in the applicable award agreements. More specifically, between 0% and 200% of the target number of units may vest at the end of the performance period based (i) 50% against the predetermined internal Company performance goal for Core ROAE and (ii) 50% against the Company’s performance ranking for Core ROAE among a group of commercial mortgage REIT peer companies. The commercial mortgage REIT peer group includes publicly traded commercial mortgage REITs, which the Company believes derive the majority of their revenues from commercial real estate balance sheet lending activities and meet certain market capitalization criteria.

As of June 30, 2022, there was $5.3 million of total unrecognized compensation cost for awards of PSUs that will be recognized over the grants’ remaining weighted average vesting period of 2.0 years. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company recognized $0.2 million and $0.9 million of compensation expense associated with these awards, respectively, compared to $0.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021, within compensation and benefits expenses on the condensed consolidated statements of ~~comprehensive income (loss).~~income.

Note 14. Income Taxes

The Company has elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Code for U.S. federal income tax purposes. As long as the Company qualifies as a REIT, the Company generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income taxes on that portion of its income that it distributes to its stockholders if it annually distributes at least 90% of its REIT taxable income, without regard to the deduction for dividends paid and excluding net capital gains, and does not engage in prohibited transactions. For the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company did not distribute the required minimum amount of taxable income pursuant to federal excise tax requirements and, consequently, the Company accrued an excise tax of $0.6 million. As of June 30, ~~2021,~~2022, the Company distributed 100% of its REIT taxable income for the taxable ~~year~~years ended December 31, 2021, and 2020, in part with dividends paid in ~~2021,~~the subsequent year, and has complied with all requirements to continue to qualify as a REIT. The majority of states also recognize the Company’s REIT status. The Company’s TRS files a separate federal tax return and is fully taxed as a standalone U.S. C-

For the three and six months ended June 30, ~~2020,~~2022, and three months ended June 30, 2021, excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share is the effect of adding back ~~$4.5~~$4.6 million, $9.1 million and ~~$9.1~~$4.5 million, respectively, of interest expense and 14,065,946 of weighted average common share equivalents related to the assumed conversion of the Company’s convertible senior notes, as their inclusion would be antidilutive.

The computation of diluted earnings per share is also based on the incremental shares that would be outstanding assuming the conversion of RSUs. The number of incremental shares is calculated by applying the treasury stock method. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, an additional 1,101,306 and 1,009,704 weighted-average unvested RSUs, respectively, were included in the dilutive earnings per share denominator. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share is 280,682 and 293,707 weighted-average unvested RSUs, respectively, as their inclusion would be antidilutive.

The computation of diluted earnings per share is also based on the incremental shares that would be outstanding assuming the conversion of PSUs. The number of incremental shares is calculated by applying the treasury stock method. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, no additional weighted-average unvested PSUs were included in the dilutive earnings per share denominator, as their inclusion would be antidilutive. The Company did not have any PSUs outstanding as of June 30, 2021.

Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

In conjunction with entering into the senior secured term loan credit agreement and the warrants described in Note 127 - Senior Secured Term Loan Facilities and Warrants to Purchase Shares of Common Stock, the Company elected the accreted redemption value method whereby the discount created based on the fair value of the warrants relative to the fair value of the senior secured term loan facilities and the related issuance costs will be accreted over five years using the effective interest method. Such adjustments are included in amortization of deferred debt issuance costs on the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, these adjustments totaled $0.3 million and $0.5 million, respectively. Additionally, the computation of diluted earnings per share is based on the incremental shares that would be outstanding assuming the exercise of warrants issued in conjunction with entering into the senior secured term loan credit agreement. The number of incremental shares is calculated by applying the treasury stock method. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, the additional 2.4 million shares attributable to the warrants were included in the computation of diluted earnings per share.

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

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, as well as our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2020.~~2021.

Our Company

Granite Point Mortgage Trust Inc. is an internally managed real estate finance company that focuses primarily on directly originating, investing in and managing senior floating-rate commercial mortgage loans and other debt and debt-like commercial real estate investments. Our investment objective is to preserve our stockholders’ capital while generating attractive risk-adjusted returns over the long term, primarily through dividends derived from current income produced by our investment portfolio. We operate as a real estate investment trust, or REIT, as defined under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the Code. We also operate our business in a manner ~~that will permit us~~intended to maintain our exclusion from registration under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, or the Investment Company Act. We operate our business as one segment.

~~Through December 31, 2020, we were externally managed by Pine River Capital Management L.P., or the Former Manager, at which time we internalized our management function, or the Internalization.~~Recent Developments

COVID-19 Pandemic

As the novel coronavirus, or COVID-19, pandemic has evolved from its emergence in early 2020, so has its global impact, including contributing to significant volatility in financial markets. The longer-term macroeconomic effects of ~~June 30, 2021,~~ the COVID-19 pandemic ~~remains ongoing. During 2020, the pandemic created significant macroeconomic disruptions, increased rates of unemployment~~on global supply chains, inflation, labor shortages and ~~adversely impacted~~wage increases, as well as any potential fiscal and monetary policy responses, may continue to impact many industries, including those related to the ~~real estate~~ collateral underlying certain of our loans. ~~So far~~Moreover, with the potential for new strains of COVID-19 to emerge, governments and businesses may re-impose aggressive measures to help slow its spread in ~~2021,~~ the ~~global and U.S. economic activity has, to varying degrees, begun to improve,~~future. For this reason, among others, as wider distribution of the COVID-19 vaccines has continued. As a result, macroeconomic forecasts have improved over the last few quarters, including expectations for unemployment rates and overall economic output. Nonetheless, the ongoing pandemic may continue to adversely impact the macroeconomic recovery, particularly with respect to the emergence of new variants of the COVID-19 virus, the continued distribution and acceptance of the vaccines and the effectiveness of such vaccines against new variants of the COVID-19 virus. The fluid nature of this situation precludes any prediction as to the ultimate adverse impact of the COVID-19 pandemic continues, the potential global impacts are uncertain and difficult to assess. In addition, the pandemic continues to disrupt global supply chains and cause labor shortages and has added to broad inflationary pressures, all of which could negatively impact our borrowers’ ability to execute on ~~economic~~the business plans on their properties and potentially affect their ability to perform under the terms of their loan agreements. In response to the inflationary pressures, the Federal Reserve has begun raising interest rates and has indicated it anticipates further interest rate increases. Such increases in interest rates may increase our interest expense, which may not be fully offset by any increases in interest income, and may also slow the pace of loan repayments and increase the number of borrowers who seek extension of term on their loans.

Interest Rates

Until recently, interest rates have remained at relatively low levels and the Federal Reserve maintained the federal funds rate target range at 0.00% to 0.25% for much of 2020 and 2021. However, in response to the inflationary pressures, earlier in 2022 the Federal Reserve has begun raising its federal funds rate target range and indicated that, due to the persistent high rate of inflation, it anticipates further increases in interest rates throughout 2022 and into 2023. Additionally, driven by the shift in Federal Reserve interest rate policy, the general level of interest rates in the market ~~conditions,~~has increased. Such increases in interest rates may increase our interest expense, which may not be fully offset by any increases in interest income, and may also slow the pace of loan repayments and increase the number of our borrowers who seek extension of term on their loans. The potential ultimate impact of higher market interest rates on the economy, real estate fundamentals in general and our business is uncertain and difficult to predict.

LIBOR Transition

On March 5, 2021, the Financial Conduct Authority of the U.K., or the FCA, which regulates LIBOR, announced that all LIBOR tenors relevant to us will cease to be published or will no longer be representative after June 30, 2023. The FCA announcement coincides with the March 5, 2021, announcement of LIBOR’s administrator, the ICE Benchmark Administration Limited, or the IBA, indicating that, as a result ~~present material uncertainty and risk with respect~~of not having access to input data necessary to calculate LIBOR tenors relevant to us ~~and~~on a representative basis after June 30, 2023, the ~~performance~~IBA would have to cease publication of ~~our investments.~~

~~We continue~~such LIBOR tenors immediately after the last publication on June 30, 2023. The United States Federal Reserve has also advised banks to ~~monitor the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on our operating partners, financing sources, borrowers and their tenants and the economy~~cease entering into new contracts that use U.S. dollar LIBOR as a ~~whole.~~reference rate. The ~~magnitude and duration of~~Federal Reserve, in conjunction with the ~~COVID-19 pandemic, and its impact on our operations, liquidity and availability of financing, are uncertain and continue to evolve. To~~Alternative Reference Rate Committee, or the ~~extent that our borrowers and their tenants, property sponsors and financing sources continue to be impacted~~ARRC, a committee convened by the ~~COVID-19 pandemic, it~~Federal Reserve that includes major market participants, has identified the Secured Overnight Financing Rate, or SOFR, a new index calculated by short-term repurchase agreements, backed by Treasury securities, as its preferred alternative rate for LIBOR. There are significant differences between LIBOR and SOFR, such as LIBOR being an unsecured lending rate while SOFR is a secured lending rate, and SOFR is an overnight rate while LIBOR reflects term rates at different maturities. If our LIBOR-based borrowings are converted to SOFR, the differences between LIBOR and SOFR, and potential margin adjustments in connection with the transition, could result in higher interest costs for us, which could have a material adverse effect on our ~~liquidity and capital resources.~~

~~The full extent~~operating results. Although SOFR is the ARRC’s recommended replacement rate, it is also possible that lenders may instead choose alternative replacement rates that may differ from LIBOR in ways similar to SOFR or in other ways that would result in higher interest costs for us. We cannot predict the effect of the ~~impact~~decision not to sustain LIBOR, or the potential transition to SOFR or another alternative reference rate as LIBOR’s replacement.

Table of Contents

As of June 30, 2022, 87.8% of our loans by carrying value earned a floating rate of interest indexed to LIBOR, and ~~effects~~11.0% to SOFR. As of ~~COVID-19~~June 30, 2022, 57.3% of our outstanding financing arrangements (excluding our convertible notes) bear interest indexed to LIBOR, and 42.7% to SOFR. All of these arrangements provide procedures for determining an alternative base rate when LIBOR is discontinued. As of June 30, 2022, the one-month SOFR was 1.69% and one-month US LIBOR was 1.79%. Regardless, there can be no assurances as to what alternative base rates may be and whether such base rate will ~~depend on future developments, including, among~~be more or less favorable than LIBOR and any other ~~factors, the duration, severity and spread~~unforeseen impacts of the ~~outbreak, along with~~discontinuation of LIBOR.

Key Financial Measures and Indicators

As a commercial real estate finance company, we believe the key financial measures and indicators for our business are earnings per share presented on a U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, basis, dividends declared on common stock, Distributable Earnings and book value per ~~share.~~share of common stock. For the three months ended June 30, ~~2021,~~ 2022,

Table of Contents

we recorded ~~earnings~~GAAP loss per basic share of ~~$0.25,~~$(0.32), declared a ~~regular quarterly~~ cash dividend of $0.25 per share of common stock and reported Distributable Earnings of ~~$0.29~~$0.22 per basic share. Our book value as of June 30, ~~2021~~2022, was ~~$17.27~~$16.01 per share of common stock, inclusive of ~~$(1.15)~~$(0.96) of total Current Expected Credit Loss, or CECL, reserve.

As further described below, Distributable Earnings is a measure that is not prepared in accordance with GAAP. We use Distributable Earnings to evaluate our performance, excluding the effects of certain transactions and GAAP adjustments that we believe are not necessarily indicative of our current loan portfolio and operations. In addition, Distributable Earnings is a performance metric we consider, along with other measures, when declaring our common stock dividends.

Beginning with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, and for all subsequent reporting periods ending on or after December 31, 2020, we have elected to present Distributable Earnings, a measure that is not prepared in accordance with GAAP, as a supplemental method of evaluating our operating performance. Distributable Earnings replaces our prior presentation of Core Earnings with no changes to the definition. In order to maintain our status as a REIT, we are required to distribute at least 90% of our taxable income as dividends. Distributable Earnings is intended to over time serve as a general, though imperfect, proxy for our taxable ~~income, though it is not a perfect substitute for it, and, as~~income. As such, Distributable Earnings is considered a key indicator of our ability to generate sufficient income to pay our common ~~dividends and in determining the amount of such~~ dividends, which is the primary focus of income-oriented investors who comprise a meaningful segment of our stockholder base. We believe providing Distributable Earnings on a supplemental basis to our net income ~~(loss)~~ and cash flow from operating activities, as determined in accordance with GAAP, is helpful to stockholders in assessing the overall run-rate operating performance of our business.

We use Distributable Earnings to evaluate our performance, excluding the effects of certain transactions and GAAP adjustments we believe are not necessarily indicative of our current loan portfolio and operations. For reporting purposes, we define Distributable Earnings as net income ~~(loss)~~ attributable to our stockholders, computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding: (i) non-cash equity compensation expenses; (ii) depreciation and amortization; (iii) any unrealized gains (losses) or other similar non-cash items that are included in net income for the applicable reporting period (regardless of whether such

~~Table of Contents~~

items are included in other comprehensive income ~~(loss)~~ or in net income for such period); and (iv) certain non-cash items and one-time expenses. Distributable Earnings may also be adjusted from time to time for reporting purposes to exclude one-time events pursuant to changes in GAAP and certain other material non-cash income or expense items approved by a majority of our independent directors. The exclusion of depreciation and amortization from the calculation of Distributable Earnings only applies to debt investments related to real estate to the extent we foreclose upon the property or properties underlying such debt investments.

While Distributable Earnings excludes the impact of the unrealized non-cash current provision for credit losses, we expect to only recognize such potential credit losses in Distributable Earnings if and when such amounts are deemed non-recoverable. This is generally at the time a loan is repaid, or in the case of foreclosure, when the underlying asset is sold, but non-recoverability may also be concluded if, in our determination, it is nearly certain that all amounts due will not be collected. The realized loss amount reflected in Distributable Earnings will equal the difference between the cash received, or expected to be received, and the carrying value of the asset, and is reflective of our economic experience as it relates to the ultimate realization of the loan. During the three and six months ended June 30, ~~2021,~~2022, we recorded ~~a $9.3 million benefit from~~ provision for credit losses of $(13.6) million and $(17.3) million, respectively, which has been excluded from Distributable Earnings consistent with other unrealized gains (losses) and other non-cash items pursuant to our existing policy for reporting Distributable Earnings referenced above. Pursuant to our existing policy for reporting Distributable Earnings referenced above, during the three months ended June 30, 2022, we recorded a $0.5 million recovery of amounts previously written off in a prior period on a discounted payoff. Additionally, during the six months ended June 30, 2022, we recorded a $(10.1) million write-off on a loan sale, which we included in Distributable Earnings because we did not collect all amounts due at the time the loan was sold. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, we recorded a $(13.0) million and $(18.8) million, respectively, loss on early extinguishment of debt, which has been excluded from Distributable Earnings consistent with certain one-time expenses pursuant to our existing policy for reporting Distributable Earnings as a helpful indicator in assessing the overall run-rate operating performance of our business.

Distributable Earnings does not represent net income ~~(loss)~~ or cash flow from operating activities and should not be considered as an alternative to GAAP net income, ~~(loss),~~ or an indication of our GAAP cash flows from operations, a measure of our liquidity, or an indication of funds available for our cash needs. In addition, our methodology for calculating Distributable Earnings may differ from the methodologies employed by other companies to calculate the same or similar supplemental performance measures, and, accordingly, our reported Distributable Earnings may not be comparable to the Distributable Earnings reported by other companies.

Portfolio Overview

Our business model is mainly focused on directly originating, investing in and managing senior floating-rate commercial mortgage loans and other debt and debt-like commercial real estate investments. As a result of this strategy, our operating performance is subject to overall market demand for commercial real estate loan products and other debt and debt-like commercial real estate investments. We place emphasis on diversifying our investment portfolio across geographical regions and local markets, property types, borrowers and loan structures. We do not limit our loan originations by geographical area or property type, so that we may develop a well-diversified investment portfolio.

~~The Company’s interest-earning~~Interest-earning assets include ~~its~~our 100% loan investment portfolio.At June 30, ~~2021,~~2022, our portfolio was comprised of 99104 loans, of which 97102 were senior first mortgage loans totaling ~~$4.1~~$4.2 billion of commitments with an unpaid principal balance of ~~$3.6~~$3.9 billion, and two were subordinated loans totaling ~~$15.8~~$14.2 million in commitments and unpaid principal balance. During the three months ended June 30, ~~2021,~~2022, we collected 100% of the contractual interest payments that were due under our loan agreements, after taking into consideration certain loans that have been modified mainly due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and ~~four~~two loans on nonaccrual status.In connection with the loan modifications, the total amount of interest income that was deferred and added to the principal during the three months ended June 30, 2021 was $4.0 million, or 8.1% of our interest income recognized during the period.At June 30, ~~2021,~~2022, the weighted average risk rating of our loan portfolio was ~~2.8,~~2.5, weighted by total unpaid principal balance, as compared to ~~2.7~~2.5 at March 31, 2022, and 2.6 at December 31, 2021.

During the three months ended June 30, ~~2021,~~2022, we originated ~~seven~~five loans with a total ~~unpaid principal balance~~loan commitment amount of ~~$163.4~~$202.1 million, ~~and total loan commitments~~ of ~~$203.8 million.~~which $168.7 million was funded at origination. Other loan fundings included ~~$30.4~~$43.0 million of additional fundings made under existing loan commitments. Proceeds from loan repayments and principal amortization ~~during the three months ended June 30, 2021~~ totaled ~~$423.0~~$120.1 million. We generated interest income of ~~$49.5~~$49.3 million ~~inclusive of a reversal of $2.1 million related to three loans placed on nonaccrual status during the period,~~ and incurred interest expense of ~~$26.7~~$27.3 million, which resulted in net interest income of ~~$22.8~~$21.9 million. See Note 43 - ~~Variable Interest Entities and Securitized Debt Obligations~~Loans Held-for-Investment, Net of Allowance for Credit Losses to our ~~condensed consolidated financial statements~~Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for details.

Most of our loans are structured with an initial maturity term, typically three years, and one or more (typically two) one-year extension options, which can be exercised by the borrower subject to meeting various extension conditions in accordance with the terms of the loan agreement. As part of our overall asset management strategy, we have in the past entered into, and may in the future enter into, loan modifications with some of our borrowers. These amendments may include, among other things, modifying or waiving certain performance or extension conditions as part of the overall agreement.

The ~~following~~map and charts below illustrate the ~~diversification~~geographic distribution and ~~composition of our portfolio based on~~ types of properties securing our ~~loan investments, geographic distribution, interest rate and investment type,~~portfolio as of June 30, ~~2021:~~2022:

Portfolio Management and Credit Quality

We actively manage each loan investment from closing and initial funding through final repayment and assess the risk of credit deterioration by quarterly evaluating the performance of the underlying collateral properties. We also evaluate the macroeconomic environment, prevailing real estate fundamentals and local property market dynamics. Typically, our loan documents allow us, among other things, to receive regular property, borrower and guarantor financial statements; approve

annual budgets and major tenant leases; and enforce loan covenants and remedies. In addition, we work with Trimont Real Estate Advisors LLC, one of the leading commercial real estate loan servicers, ~~who~~which provides us with a fully-dedicated and experienced team to increase efficiency and leverage our internal resources in servicing and asset managing our loan investments. Our internal team retains authority on all asset management decisions.

We maintain strong relationships and an active asset management dialogue with our borrowers. We have ~~utilized these~~leveraged those strong relationships to ~~address~~minimize the negative impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on our portfolio, particularly in respect of the properties securing loans ~~secured by properties~~in our portfolio experiencing COVID-19-related business interruptions and pressure on operating cash ~~flows, most significantly hotel and retail properties. As a result of the ongoing negative effects the pandemic has had on the economy,~~flows. While we generally ~~the real estate market as a whole and specific properties, some of our borrowers have indicated to us~~believe that they will be unable to execute their business plans on the original timeline, have had to temporarily close their properties by order of local authorities, have had tenants whose businesses were closed, or have experienced adverse business consequences, and have requested temporary interest forbearance (mainly deferrals and, to a lesser extent, waivers), or other modifications of their loans including extensions of term and modifications or waivers of certain extension conditions. We have been working closely with our borrowers to provide them with short-term relief to help manage through these market dislocations and business interruptions at their properties. During the three months ended June 30, 2021, we entered into modifications on eight loans with an aggregate principal balance of approximately $409.1 million.

Our loan modifications typically include temporary reductions in the amount of cash interest collected, permit accrual of a portion of the interest due during the modification period to be repaid at a later date, permit the use of existing cash loan reserves to pay debt service due on our loans and other property-level expenses and/or modify or waive term extensions and certain performance tests or covenants. Our loan modifications are often coupled with additional equity or other forms of credit

~~support from the sponsors. The total amount of interest income that was deferred and added to~~ the principal ~~during the three months ended June 30, 2021 was $4.0 million.~~

We are generally encouraged by our borrowers’ overall response to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on their properties. We continue to work with them to address the circumstances caused by the pandemic while seeking to protect the credit attributes of our portfolio. However, these efforts may not be successful in all cases, and we may experience payment delinquencies, defaults, foreclosures or losses. While we believe the principal amountsamount of our loans ~~are generally adequately~~is sufficiently protected by the underlying ~~value of the~~ collateral ~~properties,~~value, there is a risk that we will not realize the entire principal amount of certain of our loan investments.

In addition to ongoing asset management, we review our entire portfolio quarterly, assess the performance of each loan and assign it a risk rating on a scale between “1” and “5,” from least risk to greatest risk, respectively.See Note 3 - Loans Held-for-Investment, Net of Allowance for Credit Losses to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for a discussion regarding ~~our~~the risk rating methodology we use for our portfolio.

Other Portfolio Developments

During the three months ended June 30, ~~2021, we recorded~~2022, a decrease of $0.2 million in the allowance for credit losses, which resulted in the overall CECL reserve of $62.9 million at June 30, 2021. The relatively stable estimate of allowance for credit losses reflects an increase in the estimated allowance on three collateral-dependent assets, which was offset by the changes in the composition of our investment portfolio due to loan repayments realized during the period, new originations and moderately improved expectations of macroeconomic conditions.

During 2020, we entered into a loan modification related to a hospitality asset located in Minneapolis, MN, which was classified as troubled debt restructuring under GAAP. This modification included, among other changes, a partial deferral of the loan’s contractual interest payments. At June 30, 2021, this first mortgage loan ~~had an outstanding~~with a principal balance of ~~$68.1~~$93.8 million ~~and~~collateralized by an office property located in San Diego, CA, was ~~assigned~~downgraded to a risk rating of “5”. as a result of the collateral property’s operating performance being adversely affected by the ongoing office leasing market challenges related to the COVID-19 pandemic. We have determined that the recovery of the loan principal is collateral-dependent. Accordingly, this loan was assessed individually, and we have elected to apply a practical expedient in accordance with “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses - Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (Topic 326),” or ASU 2016-13. At June 30, ~~2021,~~2022, we recorded an allowance for credit loss of ~~$9.1~~$4.5 million on the unpaid principal balance of this ~~loan. The allowance for credit loss was recorded~~loan based on our ~~estimation~~estimate of fair value using the estimated proceeds available from the borrower’s sale of the ~~loan’s underlying~~ collateral ~~as of June 30, 2021.~~property less the estimated cost to sell the property. Additionally, as of June 30, ~~2021,~~2022, we placed this loan on nonaccrual status and recorded a reversal of interest income of $1.0 million.

During ~~the three months ended June 30,~~ 2021, we entered into a loan modification related to a retail asset located in Pasadena, CA, which iswas classified as troubled debt restructuring under GAAP. This modification included, among other changes, a partial deferral of the loan’s contractual interest payments due to the collateral property’s cash flows and operating performance being adversely affected by the ongoing effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. This loan had also been previously modified. At June 30, ~~2021,~~2022, this first mortgage loan had an outstanding principal balance of $114.1 million, ~~a maturity date of July 9, 2021~~ and during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, was ~~assigned~~maintained at a risk rating of ~~“5.” During~~“5”.

During the three months ended June 30, 2021, a first mortgage loan with a principal balance of $54.9 million collateralized by an office property located in Washington D.C. was downgraded to a risk rating of “5” as a result of the collateral property’s operating performance being adversely affected by the ongoing office leasing market challenges related to the COVID-19 pandemic. During the three months ended June 30, 2021, we entered into a loan modification related to this asset, which

included, among other changes, a reallocation of certain reserves. This loan had also been previously modified. At June 30, 2021, we recorded an allowance for credit loss of $8.9 million on this loan. The allowance for credit loss was recorded based on our estimation of fair value of the loan’s underlying collateral as of June 30, 2021. Additionally, as of June 30, 2021, we placed this loan on nonaccrual status and recorded a reversal of interest income of $0.8 million. We are evaluating a variety of potential options with respect to the resolution of this loan, which, among other things, may include a foreclosure, a negotiated deed-in-lieu of foreclosure, a sale of the underlying collateral property or a sale of the loan.

Portfolio Financing

As of June 30, ~~2021,~~2022, our portfolio financing consisted of repurchase facilities collateralized by loans held-for-investment, securitized debt obligations collateralized by pools of loans held-for-investment issued in ~~commercial real estate collateralized loan obligations transactions, or~~ CRE CLOs and an asset-specific ~~financing facility collateralized by loans held-for-investment and a term~~ financing facility collateralized by loans held-for-investment.

Under our repurchase facilities, our counterparties may make margin calls because of a perceived decline in the value of our assets collateralizing the given secured financing arrangement due to a credit event or, under a limited number of our repurchase facilities, due to market events. To cover a margin call, we may transfer cash to such counterparty. At maturity, any cash on deposit as collateral is generally applied against the repurchase facility balance, thereby reducing the amount borrowed. Should the value of our assets suddenly decrease, significant margin calls on our repurchase facilities could result, causing an adverse change in our liquidity position.

Commercial Real Estate Collateralized Loan Obligations

We have financed certain pools of our loans through CRE CLOs. At June 30, ~~2021,~~2022, we had three CRE CLOs ~~outstanding,~~outstanding: GPMT 2021-FL4, GPMT 2021-FL3 and GPMT 2019-FL2, ~~and GPMT 2018-FL1,~~ totaling ~~$1.5~~$1.4 billion of outstanding borrowings, financing 5955 of our existing first mortgage loan investments with an aggregate principal balance of $1.9 billion. On April 22, 2022, the Company redeemed the GPMT 2018-FL1 CRE CLO, which at its redemption had $103.6 million of outstanding borrowings. The CRE CLOs provide us with an attractive cost of funds and, ~~finance 52.9%~~as of June 30, 2022, financed 46.0% of our total loan portfolio principal balance on a term-matched, non-recourse and non-mark-to-market basis.

~~In February 2021, we entered into a term financing facility with Goldman Sachs Bank USA providing us with $349~~Includes $29.6 million of term-matched and non-mark-to-market financing to fund certain loans that were previously financed under the repurchase facility with Goldman Sachs Bank USA. The facility is non-amortizing and may be voluntarily repaid, in whole, on any payment date, subject to a prepayment premium with certain exceptions if repaid prior to February 10, 2022. The facility’s term is matched to that of the underlying commercial mortgage loans, not to exceed February 9, 2025. During the three months ended June 30, 2021, we repaid, without prepayment premiums, approximately $204.6 million of borrowings under this facility with a portion of our proceeds from the closing in May 2021 of our third CRE CLO, GPMT 2021-FL3. As of June 30, 2021, we had outstanding $142.4 million on the term financing facility with a weighted average borrowing rate of 3.68%.

Floating Rate Portfolio

Our business strategy seeks to minimize our exposure to changes in interest rates by matching benchmark indices ~~typically LIBOR or similar index,~~ on our assets with those on our asset level borrowings. Accordingly, our business model is such that, in general, rising interest rates will increase our net interest income, while declining interest rates will decrease our net interest income, subject to the impact of interest rate floors on our floating rate assets and certain liabilities. As of June 30, ~~2021, 98%~~2022, 98.2% of our loan investments by carrying value earned a floating rate of interest and were financed with liabilities that pay interest on a floating rate basis, and 0.8% of our loan investments by carrying value earned a floating rate of interest and were unencumbered, which resulted in an amount of net equity that is positively correlated to rising interest rates, subject to the impact of interest rate floors on certain of our floating rate loan investments. As of June 30, ~~2021, the remaining 2%~~2022, 1.2% of our loan investments ~~that~~by carrying value earned a fixed rate of interest and were financed with liabilities that pay interest on a floating rate basis, which resulted in a negative correlation to rising interest rates on that amount of our financing.

Factors Affecting Our Operating Results

The results of our operations are affected by a number of factors and primarily depend on, among other things, the level of our net interest income, the availability and cost of financing for us, the market value of our assets, the credit performance of our assets and the supply of, and demand for, commercial real estate loans, other commercial real estate debt instruments and other financial assets available for investment in the market and available as a source of refinancing of our assets. Our net interest income, which reflects the amortization of origination fees and direct costs, is recognized based on the contractual rate and the outstanding principal balance of the loans we originate. The objective of the interest method is to arrive at periodic interest income that yields a level rate of return over the loan term. Interest rates vary according to the type of loan or security, conditions in the financial markets, credit worthiness of our borrowers, competition and other factors, none of which can be predicted with any certainty. Our operating results may also be impacted by credit losses in excess of initial anticipations or unanticipated credit events experienced by our borrowers. We continue to monitor the effects on each of these factors in light of the COVID-19 pandemic and rising interest rates, and how they will affect the results of our operations.

~~Summary of Results of Operations and Financial Condition~~Loan Originations

Our GAAP net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders was $14.2 million (or $0.26 per basic weighted average share) for the three months ended June 30, 2021, as compared to GAAP net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders of $(1.8) million (or $(0.03) per basic weighted average share) for the three months ended June 30, 2020. The GAAP net income for the six months ended June 30, 2021 benefited from a partial reversal of the provision for credit losses, which was related to loan prepayments, somewhat improved macroeconomic forecastbusiness model is mainly focused on directly originating, investing in and ~~overall market conditions~~managing senior floating-rate commercial mortgage loans and ~~a decrease in~~ other ~~operating expenses. The GAAP net (loss) for the six months ended June 30, 2020 was primarily~~debt and debt-like commercial real estate investments. As a result of ~~an increase~~this strategy, our operating performance is subject to overall market demand for commercial real estate loan products and other debt and debt-like commercial real estate investments. We manage originations and acquisitions of our target investments by diversifying our investment portfolio across geographical regions, local markets, property types, borrower types and loan structures. We do not limit our investments to any number of geographical areas or property types for our originations so that we develop a well-diversified investment portfolio. Additionally, our team has extensive experience originating and acquiring commercial real estate loans and other debt and debt-like commercial real estate investments, through a network of long-standing relationships with borrowers, sponsors and industry brokers. The COVID-19 pandemic and rising market interest rates have resulted in significant disruptions in financial markets, uncertainty about the overall macroeconomic outlook and a dislocation in the ~~provision for~~commercial real estate sector, including reduced borrower demand, wider credit ~~losses related to the significant deterioration~~spreads, higher lending rates, increased capitalization rates on properties and significantly lower transaction volume. The dislocation in ~~the forecasts of macroeconomic conditions~~capital markets and ~~overall market dislocation~~decline in real estate sale transaction and refinancing activities caused by the ~~onset~~pandemic and higher interest rates have negatively impacted, and will likely continue to negatively impact, the volume of loan repayments and prepayments on select property types, which are a significant source of our overall liquidity and could make it more difficult for us to originate new loan investments.

Financing Availability

We are subject to availability and cost of financing to successfully execute on our business strategy and generate attractive risk-adjusted returns to our stockholders. Much of our financing is in the form of repurchase agreements or other types of credit facilities provided to us by our lender counterparties. We mitigate this counterparty risk by seeking to diversify our lending partners, focusing on establishing borrowing relationships with strong counterparties and continuously monitoring them through a thoughtful approach to counterparty risk oversight. Additionally, as part of our broader risk management strategy, and to the extent available in the market, we finance our business through other means which may include, but not be limited to, securitizations, note sales and issuance of unsecured debt and equity instruments. We continue to actively explore additional types of funding facilities in order to further diversify our financing sources. The COVID-19 pandemic and rising interest rates have resulted in significant disruptions in financial markets and uncertainty about the overall macroeconomic outlook. Declines in economic conditions could negatively impact real estate and real estate capital markets, which could make it more difficult for us to obtain or maintain financing.

We finance pools of our commercial real estate loans through collateralized loan obligations, or CRE CLOs, retaining subordinate securities in our investment portfolio. Our CRE CLOs are accounted for as financings with the non-retained securitized debt obligations recognized on our condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Credit Risk

We are subject to varying degrees of credit risk in connection with our target investments. The performance and value of our investments depend upon sponsors’ ability to operate the properties that serve as our collateral so that they produce cash flows adequate to pay interest and principal due to us. In addition, we are exposed to the risks generally associated with the commercial real estate market, including variances in occupancy rates, capitalization rates, absorption rates and other macroeconomic factors beyond our control. We try to mitigate this risk by seeking to originate or acquire assets of higher quality at appropriate rates of return given anticipated and unanticipated losses, by employing a comprehensive review and selection process and by proactively monitoring originated or acquired investments. Nevertheless, unanticipated credit losses, including as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, rising interest rates and ~~realized loss~~capital markets volatility, could occur that could adversely impact our operating results.

The Environmental, Social and Governance, or ESG, risks associated with our potential collateral and borrowers also pose credit risks to us. We try to mitigate these risks by incorporating diligence practices into our investment process to identify material ESG matters related to a given investment. The nature and scope of our ESG diligence will vary based on the ~~sale~~investment but may include a review of, ~~select securities offset by a decrease in net interest income for the three months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the same period in 2020 as a result of a decrease in the portfolio.~~

Our GAAP net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders was $42.2 million (or $0.77 per basic weighted average share) for the six months ended June 30, 2021, as compared to GAAP net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders of $(39.0) million (or $(0.71) per basic weighted average share) for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The GAAP net income for the six months ended June 30, 2021 benefited from a partial reversal of the provision for credit losses, which was related to loan prepayments, somewhat improved macroeconomic forecastamong other things, energy management, pollution and overall market conditions and a decrease in other operating expenses. The GAAP net (loss) for the six months ended June 30, 2020 was primarily a result of an increase in the provision for credit losses related to the significant deterioration in the forecasts of macroeconomic conditions and overall market dislocation caused by the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic.

We employ a long-term, fundamental value-oriented investment strategy and we aim to, on a loan-by-loan basis, construct an investment portfolio that is well-diversified across property types, geographies and sponsors.

The COVID-19 pandemic significantly impacted the commercial real estate markets, causing reduced occupancy, requests from tenants for rent deferral or abatement and delays in construction and development projects currently planned or underway. While the economy has improved significantly, macroeconomic trends associated with the COVID-19 pandemic have persisted and could continue to persist and impair our borrowers’ ability to pay principal and interest due to us under our loan agreements.

Operating Expenses

Our operating expenses, such as compensation costs and expenses related to managing our investment portfolio, may vary over time and are subject to a variety of factors, including overall economic and market environment, competitive market forces driving employee-related costs, and other related factors.

Allowance for Credit Losses

Our operating results are also impacted by the allowance for credit loss we record for loans held-for-investment using the Current Expected Credit Loss, or CECL, model pursuant to ASU 2016-13.

Changes in the Fair Value of Our Investments

We intend to hold our target investments for the long-term and, as such, they are carried at an amortized cost on our condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Although we intend to hold our target investments for the long-term, we may occasionally classify some of our debt securities as AFS. Investments classified as AFS are carried at their fair value, with changes in fair value recorded through accumulated other comprehensive income, a component of stockholders’ equity, rather than through earnings. We do not intend to hold any of our investments for trading purposes.

Changes in Market Interest Rates

Our primary interest rate exposures relate to the yield on our loans and other investments and the financing cost of our borrowings. Changes in interest rates may affect our net interest income from loans and other investments. Interest rate fluctuations resulting in our interest and related expense exceeding interest and related income would result in operating losses for us. To the extent that our financing costs are determined by reference to floating rates, such as LIBOR, SOFR or a Treasury index, the amount of such costs will depend on the level and movement of interest rates. Until recently, interest rates remained at relatively low levels and the Federal Reserve maintained the federal funds rate target range at 0.00% to 0.25% for much of 2020 and 2021. However, in response to the inflationary pressures, earlier in 2022 the Federal Reserve began raising its federal funds rate target range and indicated that, due to the persistent high rate of inflation, it anticipates further increases in interest rates throughout 2022 and into 2023. Any such increases could adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition. In a period of rising interest rates, our interest expense on floating rate borrowings would increase, while any additional interest income we earn on our floating rate investments may be subject to caps and/or in-the-money floors that may limit the growth of our interest income until interest rates rise above such floors, or loans with such floors are repaid or refinanced, and may not compensate for such increase in interest expense. Any such scenario could adversely affect our results of operations, interest coverage ratio and financial condition.

Although our strategy is to primarily originate, invest in and manage senior floating-rate commercial mortgage loans, from time-to-time we may acquire fixed-rate investments, which exposes our operating results to the risks posed by fluctuations in interest rates. To the extent that this applies to us, we may choose to actively manage this risk through the use of hedging strategies.

Summary of Results of Operations and Financial Condition

Our GAAP net loss attributable to common stockholders was $(17.4) million (or $(0.32) per basic weighted average share) for the three months ended June 30, 2022, as compared to GAAP net income attributable to common stockholders of $1.0 million (or $0.02 per basic weighted average share) for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The decrease in GAAP results was primarily due to provision for credit losses of $(13.6) million and charge on early extinguishment of debt of $(13.0) million incurred during the three months ended June 30, 2022.

~~Results of Operations~~

Beginning with this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and for all subsequent reporting periods, in connection with our adoption of the amendment to Item 303 of Regulation S-K, we have elected to present results of operationswell as changes in the current period to the immediately preceding period, rather than the same period in the previous year. As this is the first filing in which this change is made, we are providing both comparisons. Given the dynamic naturemix of our ~~business, our target investments~~investment portfolio credit spreads due to new originations, loan amendments, additional fundings, upsizings and our financial results’ sensitivity to the real estate and capital markets, we believe providing analysis of results of operations by comparing them to the immediately preceding period is more meaningful to our stockholders in evaluating the overall performance of our current business.repayments.

~~Net~~ Interest Income

Interest income for the three months ended June 30, 2022, increased to $49.3 million from $47.3 million mainly due to a higher average balance of our interest-earning assets and an increase in interest rates.

Interest Expense

Interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2022, increased to $27.3 million from $23.8 million mainly due to higher average borrowings on repurchase facilities and higher short-term interest rates, partially offset by a lower average balance on higher-cost senior secured term loan facilities and the term financing facility.

Provision for Credit Losses

Consistent with the methodology used during the adoption of ASU 2016-13 on January 1, 2020, we continue to use a probability-weighted analytical model to estimate and recognize an allowance for credit losses on loans held-for-investment and their related unfunded commitments. Additionally, in determining the allowance for credit losses estimate through June 30, 2022, we employed third party licensed macroeconomic forecasts, over the reasonable projection period. Significant inputs to our estimate of the allowance for credit losses include loan specific factors such as DSCR, LTV, remaining loan term, property type and others. As part of our quarterly review of our loan portfolio, we assess the repayment date of each loan, which is used to determine the contractual term for purposes of computing our CECL reserve. In certain instances, for loans with unique risk characteristics, we may instead elect to employ different methods to estimate loan losses that also conform to ASU 2016-13 and related guidance.

Allowance for credit losses related to off-balance sheet future funding commitments is recorded as a component of other liabilities. Changes in the provision for credit losses for both the assets and their related unfunded commitments are recognized through net (loss) income on the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive (loss) income.

During the three months ended June 30, 2022, we recorded a provision for credit losses of $(13.6) million, which included a recovery of amounts previously written off of $0.5 million. The increase in our estimate of allowance for credit losses was primarily driven by implementing in our analysis a more conservative macroeconomic forecast due to an elevated uncertainty for macroeconomic outlook due to inflationary pressures, continuing supply chain disruptions, interest rate volatility and other factors and an increase of $(4.0) million in the provision on a collateral-dependent loan.

Loss on Extinguishment of Debt

Loss on extinguishment of debt for the three months ended June 30, 2022, increased to $(13.0) million from $(5.8) million mainly due to the payoff of the remaining $100.0 million of senior secured term loan facilities and full repayment of the term financing facility, compared to a partial repayment of $50.0 million of the senior secured term loan facilities during the three months ended March 31, 2022.

We incur compensation and benefits expenses, servicing expenses related to the servicing of commercial real estate loans and other operating expenses. Compensation and benefits and servicing expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2022, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2022, were relatively stable quarter over quarter. The decrease in other operating expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2022, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2022, was primarily due to decrease in certain professional service fees. Our operating expense ratio, during the three months ended June 30, 2022, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2022, decreased modestly primarily due to lower other operating expenses.

The majority of our interest-earning assets and liabilities have floating rates based on an index (e.g., ~~1-month LIBOR)~~one-month LIBOR/SOFR) plus a credit spread. As a result, our asset yields and cost of funds are impacted by changes in market interest rates and credit spreads on investments and borrowings, as well as changes in the mix of our investment portfolio credit spreads due to new originations, amendments of existing investments, additional fundings, upsizings and repayments.

Interest Income

Interest income decreased from $54.1 million to $49.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and June 30, 2021, respectively. This decrease is due to repayments and principal amortization of loans held-for-investment of $423.0 million and a reversal of $2.1 million of interest income related to three loans placed on nonaccrual status, partially offset by the new loan originations and additional fundings of $197.8 million since March 31, 2021.

Interest income decreased from $60.9 million and $125.1 million to $49.5 million and $103.6 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2021, respectively. This decrease is due to repayments of loans held-for-investment of $929.4 million, a significant decline in short-term interest rates and a write-off of $2.1 million of interest income related to three loans placed on nonaccrual status, partially offset by the in-the-money LIBOR floors on the majority of our loans, new loan originations of $163.4 million and additional fundings of $173.2 million provided on existing loan commitments since June 30, 2020.

~~Interest Expense~~

Interest expense moderately increased from $26.4 million to $26.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and June 30, 2021, respectively. There was no material change in interest expense between these two comparable periods.

Prior to the Internalization, we paid the Former Manager a base management fee and, when applicable, an incentive fee. The base management fee was calculated based on our equity with certain adjustments outlined in the management agreement with the Former Manager, or the Former Management Agreement. The incentive fee was calculated based on historical “core earnings,” as defined in the Former Management Agreement, as well as our equity with certain adjustments outlined in the Former Management Agreement. Following the Internalization, we no longer incur management or incentive fees, but we incur expenses associated with being an internally managed REIT, including certain compensation expenses, which were previously borne by the Former Manager.

In connection with the Internalization, the Company extended offers of employment and hired 31 employees. The three months ended March 31, 2020 was the first period in which the Company began reporting expenses related to compensation and benefits related to its employees. For comparison purposes, the Company reallocated compensation related expenses, including amortization of non-cash equity compensation, from other operating expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2021. The compensation and benefits expense line item on the Company’s income statement is comprised primarily of base salaries, cash bonuses, non-cash equity-based compensation and other employee benefits and employer payroll taxes. The amortization of non-cash equity compensation included in the compensation and benefits expenses was $2.1 million and $1.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.2021:

Table of Contents

During the six months ended June 30, 2022, we recorded a provision for credit losses of $(17.3) million. The increase in our estimate of allowance for credit losses was primarily driven by a write-off of $(10.1) million on the sale of a loan and an increase of $(4.0) million in the provision on a collateral-dependent loan. The remaining increase in our provision for credit losses was related to changes in the portfolio mix and implementing in our analysis a more conservative macroeconomic forecast due to an elevated uncertainty for macroeconomic outlook due to inflationary pressures, continuing supply chain disruptions, interest rate volatility and other factors, partially offset by a recovery of amounts previously written off of $0.5 million.

Loss on Extinguishment of Debt

During the six months ended June 30, 2022, we recorded a loss on extinguishment of debt of $(18.8) million, compared to no repayments during the six months ended June 30, 2021. The increase is due to the payoff of the remaining $150.0 million of senior secured term financing facilities and the full repayment of the term financing facility during the six months ended June 30, 2022.

Expenses

The following table presents the components of expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2022, and June 30, 2021:

We incur compensation and benefits expenses, servicing expenses ~~generally~~ related to the servicing of commercial real estate loans ~~by third-party servicers. The increase in servicing~~and other operating expenses. Compensation and benefits expenses ~~during~~for the ~~three and~~six months ended June 30, 2022, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2021, increased primarily due to an increase in compensation agreements in early 2022. Servicing expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2022, as compared to the same periods in 2020, was driven by increased costs related to our third-party servicers. We also incur other operating expenses, which include costs related to our information technology infrastructure, rent, expenses associated with being a public company and other advisory and professional fees. The decrease in our operating expenses during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, ~~as compared to the same periods in 2020, was~~increased primarily due to a decrease in certain advisory and other professional fees. For the three months ended June 30, 2021, the decline in our annualized operating expense ratio was primarily driven by the cost savings related to the Internalization.

Expenses decreased from $8.9 million to $8.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and June 30, 2021, respectively. The decrease was primarily driven by lower compensation expenses and lower servicing expenses, offset by an increase in ~~professional services fees.~~

~~Expenses decreased from $15.0 million and $28.6 million to $8.7 million and $17.6 million~~billings under our servicing agreements. The increase in other operating expenses for the ~~three and~~ six months ended June 30, 2020 and June 30, 2021, respectively. The decrease was primarily driven by higher advisory and legal fees recorded in 2020, partially offset by an increase in non-cash equity compensation amortization related2022, as compared to ~~RSUs awarded under~~ the ~~Plan.~~

~~Benefit from (Provision for) Credit Losses~~

During the three months ended June 30, 2021, our provision for credit losses moderately decreased by $0.2 million, which resulted in the overall allowance for credit losses of $62.9 million at June 30, 2021. The relatively stable estimate of allowance for credit losses mainly reflects an increase in the estimated allowance on one collateral-dependent loan, which was largely offset by the changes in the composition of our investment portfolio due to loan repayments realized during the period, new originations and moderately improved expectations of macroeconomic conditions. Our provision for credit losses decreased $14.4 million and $76.9 million, respectively for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, ~~compared~~was primarily due to increased professional service fees. Our operating expense ratio during the ~~three and~~ six months ended June 30, ~~2020.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity is a measure of our ability to meet potential cash requirements, including ongoing commitments to repay borrowings, fund and maintain our target investments and operations, make distributions to our stockholders and meet other general business needs. We use cash to acquire our target investments, satisfy our obligations under our unfunded loan commitments on existing assets, repay principal and interest on our borrowings, make distributions to our stockholders and fund our operations.

In light of the COVID-19 pandemic and its severe impact on the economy, real estate and financial markets, we have taken several steps to increase our cash balances, such as opportunistically selling certain loans and entering into the $300 million financing commitment in the form of the five-year senior secured term loan facilities, in order to maintain an adequate level of liquidity to meet future outflows. As the duration and severity of COVID-19 remain unknown, we will continue to closely monitor the pandemic and its impact on us, our borrowers, our sponsors and their properties serving as collateral on our loans, our financing sources and the overall economy. Because the severity, magnitude and duration of the COVID-19 pandemic and its economic consequences continue to be highly uncertain, changing and challenging to predict, the pandemic’s impact on our operations and liquidity remains uncertain and difficult to predict.

Capitalization

To date we have capitalized our business primarily through the issuance and sale of shares of our common and preferred stock, borrowings under our secured financing facilities, issuance of CRE CLOs, borrowings under our senior secured term loan facilities and the issuance and sale of convertible notes. As of June 30, ~~2021,~~2022, our capitalization included ~~$0.5~~$0.3 billion of corporate debt and ~~$2.4~~$2.7 billion of ~~asset-level~~loan-level financing. No portion of our corporate debt as of June 30, 2022, matures before December 2022, and our loan-level financing as of June 30, 2022, is generally term-matched or matures in 2022 or later. Our ~~$2.4~~$2.7 billion of loan-level financing as of June 30, 2022, includes ~~$717.2 million~~$1.3 billion of secured repurchase agreements, $1.4 billion of CRE CLO securitizations, which are term-matched to the underlying assets, non-recourse and non-mark-to-market ~~$142.4 million of term financing facility~~ and ~~$82.8~~$43.6 million of asset-specific financing facility.

Leverage

From March 31, 2022, to June 30, 2022, our debt-to-equity ratio, defined as total debt, net of cash, divided by total equity, increased from 2.5:1.0 to 2.7:1.0, mainly driven by a modest increase in loan-level financing and common share repurchases. As part of our investment strategy, we plan to finance our target assets with a moderate amount of leverage, the level of which may vary based upon the particular characteristics of our portfolio and market conditions. ~~From March 31, 2021 to June 30, 2021, our debt-to-equity ratio, defined as total debt, net of cash, divided by equity, decreased from 3.0:1.0 to 2.8:1.0.~~ To that end, subject to maintaining our qualification as a REIT and our exclusion from registration under the Investment Company Act, we intend to use borrowings to fund the origination or acquisition of our target investments. Given our focus on senior floating-rate mortgage loans, we currently expect that such leverage will be, on a total debt-to-equity ratio basis, within a range of 3.0:1.0 and 3.5:1.0; however, our leverage may vary and differ from our expectations depending on market conditions and any steps we may take to strengthen our balance sheet and enhance our liquidity position. The amount of leverage we deploy for our target investments

depends upon our assessment of a variety of factors, which may include the anticipated liquidity and ~~price volatility~~any changes in value of the investments in our portfolio, the potential for losses in our portfolio, the gap between the ~~duration~~maturities of our assets and liabilities, the availability and cost of financing ~~the~~our investments, our opinion of the creditworthiness of our financing counterparties, the health of the U.S. economy and commercial real estate financing markets, our outlook for the level and volatility of interest rates, the slope of the yield curve, the credit quality of our investments, the collateral underlying our investments and our outlook for investment credit spreads relative to ~~LIBOR.~~LIBOR and/or SOFR.

Sources of Liquidity

Our primary sources of liquidity include cash and cash equivalents on our condensed consolidated balance sheets, any approved but unused borrowing capacity under our financing facilities, the net proceeds of future public and private equity and debt offerings, payments of principal, including loan repayments and prepayments, loan sales, interest we receive on our portfolio of assets and cash generated from our operating results. ~~We also have an option to draw up to an additional $75.0 million of proceeds on a delayed draw basis under the senior secured term loan facilities during the period ending September 25, 2021.~~

The following table sets forth our sources of liquidity as of June 30, ~~2021:~~2022:


	~~Three~~Six Months Ended

~~Unused~~Approved but unused borrowing capacity on financing facilities	—
~~Delayed draw on senior secured term loan facilities~~	~~75,000~~
Total	$	~~311,953~~150,192

Unused borrowing capacity on our uncommitted financing facilities may be a potential source of liquidity to finance unpledged commercial real estate loans held-for-investment and unpledged funded loan commitments on our existing loans held-for-investment that are pledged on such facilities. Given the uncommitted nature of such financing facilities, obtaining liquidity on such unpledged loans and unpledged funded loan commitments is at varying degrees at the discretion of our lending counterparties and may not be available to us when desired.

Other than capital markets activities, investment repayments and prepayments typically comprise our largest source of incremental liquidity. For the six months ended June 30, 2021, investment repayments and principal amortization totaled $524.6 million.

During the three months ended June 30, 2021, we generated cash flow from operating activities of $14.1 million. Additionally, we were able to generate incremental liquidity through the closing of our third CRE CLO, an $824 million transaction, which refinanced certain of our loans-held-for-investment at higher advance rates as compared to our secured repurchase facilities. We expect that the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic may continue to decrease our cash flow from operations as we seek to enter into loan modifications on certain of our loans permitting interest payments to be deferred and/or capitalized, and as we repay borrowings under our secured financing facilities.

~~Depending on capital markets conditions, we~~ have access to liquidity through public offerings of debt and equity ~~securities. We intend~~securities, subject to ~~maintain~~market conditions. To facilitate such offerings, in August 2021, we filed a shelf registration statement ~~which will permit us~~with the SEC that is effective for a term of three years and expires in August 2024. The amount of securities to ~~sell debt~~be issued pursuant to this shelf registration statement was not specified when it was filed and ~~equity securities.~~

Inthere is no specific dollar limit on the ~~future,~~amount of securities we may issue. The securities covered by this registration statement include: (i) common stock, (ii) preferred stock, (iii) depositary shares representing preferred stock and (iv) debt securities. The specifics of any future offerings, along with the use of proceeds of any securities offered, will be described in detail in a prospectus supplement, or other offering materials, at the time of any offering.

We may also ~~use other~~access liquidity through our at-the-market stock offering program, pursuant to which we may sell, from time to time, up to 4,757,636 additional ~~sources~~shares of ~~financing~~our common stock as of June 30, 2022. See Note 12 – Stockholders’ Equity to ~~fund the origination or acquisition of~~our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional details.

Although we generally intend to hold our target investments ~~including~~as long-term investments, we have opportunistically sold, and may again in the future sell, certain of our assets in order to manage our liquidity needs, to meet other operating objectives and to adapt to market conditions. We cannot predict the timing and impact of future sales of our assets, if any. Since many of our assets are financed with secured financing facilities ~~and other secured and unsecured forms of borrowing. These financings may be collateralized~~ and/or non-collateralized and may involve one or more lenders. We expect that these facilities will typically have maturities ranging from two to five years and may accrue interest at either fixed or floating rates. We may also finance our business through the nonrecourse sale of senior loan interests. We may also increase our proportion of credit non-mark-to-market financing on our commercial real estate loan portfolio through additional CRE CLOs, ~~or other securitizations, if available. There can~~a significant portion of the proceeds from sales of our assets, prepayments and scheduled amortization would be ~~no assurance that we will be able~~used to ~~consummate any such~~repay balances under these financing ~~on a timely basis, or at all, or that the financing will be on commercially reasonable terms.~~

arrangements.

We remain focused on actively managing our balance sheet and enhancing our liquidity position to best position us for the market environment, satisfy our loan future funding and financing obligations and to make new investments, which we expect will cause us to take, and in some instances has already caused us to take, some or all of the following actions: raise capital from offerings of equity and/or debt securities, on a public or private basis; borrow additional capital; post additional collateral; sell assets; and/or change our dividend policy, which we will continue to evaluate in respect of future quarters based upon customary considerations, including market conditions and distribution requirements to maintain our REIT status.

~~Although~~ At any given time and from time to time we ~~generally intend~~may be evaluating or pursuing one or more transactions, including loan sales, capital markets activities and other sources of funding, to ~~hold our target investments as long-term investments, we have opportunistically sold, and may again in the future sell, certain of our assets in order to manage~~improve our liquidity ~~needs,~~or to ~~meet other operating objectives~~refinance our debt or may otherwise seek transactions to reduce our interest expense or leverage and ~~to adapt to market conditions. Commercial real estate loan sales are subject to longer timelines than securities~~extend our debt maturities, which transactions, ~~and, as a result,~~depending on market conditions could significantly and adversely affect the liquidity of our assets. Any illiquidity of our assets may make it difficult for us to sell such assets if the need or desire arises. Our ability to quickly sell certain assets may be limited by delays due to the time period needed for negotiating transaction documents and conducting diligence. Consequently, even if we identify buyers for our commercial real estate loans, there is no assurance that we would be able to quickly sell such assets, if the need or desire arises. Additionally, we cannot provide any assurance that the economic and market impact of the COVID-19 pandemic would not make it more difficult to sell certain of our assets or that it would not have a material impact on the value of our assets.

In addition, if we are required to liquidate all or a portion of our portfolio quickly, we may realize significantly less than the value at which we previously recorded our assets. Assets that are illiquid are more difficult to finance, and to the extent that we use leverage to finance assets that become illiquid, we may lose that leverage or have it reduced. Assets tend to become less liquid during times of financial stress, which is often the time that liquidity is most needed. As a result, our ability to sell assets or vary our portfolio in response to changes in economic and other ~~market conditions may be limited by liquidity constraints, which~~factors, could ~~adversely affect~~result in actual losses and/or otherwise negatively impact our results of operations ~~and financial condition.~~

~~We cannot predict the timing and impact of future sales of our assets, if any.

Liquidity Needs

In addition to our loan origination activities and general operating expenses, our primary liquidity needs include interest and principal payments under our ~~$2.9~~$3.0 billion of outstanding borrowings under our repurchase facilities, ~~our~~ collateralized loan obligations, ~~our term financing facility, our~~ asset-specific financing facility ~~our senior secured term loan facilities, our~~and convertible senior ~~notes, $441.0~~notes; $358.7 million of unfunded loan ~~commitments~~commitments; and dividend distributions to our preferred and common stockholders.

Financing Availability

We are subject to the availability and cost of financing to successfully execute on our business strategy and generate attractive risk-adjusted returns to our stockholders. Much of our financing is in the form of repurchase facilities or other types of credit facilities provided to us by our lender counterparties. We mitigate this counterparty risk by seeking to diversify our lending partners, focusing on establishing borrowing relationships with strong counterparties and continuously monitoring them through a thoughtful approach to counterparty risk oversight. Additionally, as part of our broader risk management strategy, and to the extent available in the market, we finance our business through other means which may include, but not be limited to, CRE CLOs, note sales and the issuance of unsecured debt and equity instruments. We continue to actively explore additional

The COVID-19 pandemic ~~has~~and sharp increases in interest rates have resulted in significant disruptions in financial markets and uncertainty about the overall macroeconomic outlook.

~~Recent Market Conditions~~

~~Prior to~~three months ended June 30, 2022, we prepaid the COVID-19 pandemic, the commercial real estate debt markets offered compelling investment opportunities, especially when approached fundamentally, with a focus on strong credit and cash flow characteristics and high-quality properties and sponsors. These investment opportunities were supported by active real estate transaction volumes, the continuous need for refinancing of legacy loans and borrower and sponsor demand for debt capital to renovate, reposition or redevelop their properties. Additionally, the stricter regulatory environment after the financial crisis from 2007 to 2009 for traditional providers of financing in this market, such as banks and insurance companies, limited the capacity of available funding for certain types of commercial real estate loans that comprise a large part of our target investments. Although, the COVID-19 pandemic continues to generate an elevated degree of uncertainty with respect to the overall economic environment and many segmentsremaining $100.0 million of the ~~commercial real estate market,~~$225.0 million we believe that, over time, as the market activity continues to normalize, U.S. commercial real estate will continue to be viewed as an attractive asset class and will provide us with the opportunities consistent withborrowed under our ~~investment strategy to invest our capital and generate attractive, risk-adjusted returns for our stockholders over the long-term. Certain segments~~senior secured term loan facilities, resulting in a total payment of approximately $105.7 million, inclusive of the ~~commercial real estate market, such as lodging~~principal amount, prepayment penalty and retail, have been affected more significantly than others, resulting in multiple retail sector bankruptcies, for example, as more consumer demand has shifted to internet related purchases. This retail property stress has benefited the industrial sector, which has seen increased demand for “last-mile” distribution sites in certain markets. The lodging sector has also experienced significant dislocation and the general market expectation is that it will takeaccrued interest. As a ~~while for it to completely recover; however, given the nature~~result of ~~lodging, certain sub-sectors may experience recovery at~~this repayment, we realized a ~~quicker pace~~charge on early extinguishment of recovery than others. The multifamily sector has performed relatively well through this crisis, though the future path may be dependent to a degree on interest rate levels and additional federal government stimulus. Office properties have performed well, though there has been a noticeable slowdown in leasing activity, but the longer-term impactdebt of approximately $(11.3) million, or $(0.21) per basic share, comprised of the ~~COVID-19 pandemic remains uncertain considering remote working and other potential operational changes by the tenants.~~

~~The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in significant disruptions in financial markets, uncertainty about the overall macroeconomic outlook~~prepayment penalty and a ~~dislocation in the commercial real estate sector,~~charge-off of unamortized discount including ~~reduced borrower demand, higher lending rates, increased capitalization rates on properties and lower~~ transaction volume. The dislocation in capital markets and decline in real estate sale transaction and refinancing activities have negatively impacted, and will likely continue to negatively impact, the volume of loan repayments and prepayments, which are a significant source of our liquidity and could make it more difficult for us to originate new loan investments.

Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic in the United States and globally, most of our borrowers, sponsors, their tenants, the properties serving as collateral on our loan investments and the economy as a whole have been, and will continue to be, adversely affected. The magnitude and duration of the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on our borrowers and their tenants, cash flows and future results of operations could be significant and will largely depend on future developments, including with respect to the distribution and acceptance of vaccines and their effectiveness with respect to new variants of the COVID-19 virus, which remain uncertain and cannot be predicted. Accordingly, given the ongoing nature of the outbreak, at this time we cannot reasonably estimate the magnitude of the ultimate impact that the COVID-19 pandemic will have on our business, financial performance and operating results. Given the current highly uncertain environment, we may incur additional operating expenses for a period of time, which may be material, related to actively managing our investment portfolio, our funding sources and exploring additional financing and capital sources to help us to continue to manage through this period of economic uncertainty and market dislocation. The prolonged duration and impact of the COVID-19 pandemic could materially disrupt our business operations and impact our financial condition and performance, liquidity and ability to pay dividends, including the dividend on our common stock, which was temporarily suspended in the first quarter of 2020 and reinstated in the third quarter of 2020.

~~Critical Accounting Policies and Use of Estimates~~

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based upon our condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

~~Allowance for Credit Losses~~

We directly originate and acquire primarily senior floating-rate commercial mortgage loans and other debt and debt-like commercial real estate investments, generally to be held as long-term investments at amortized cost. We adopted ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, or ASU 2016-13, which significantly changed how entities measure credit losses for most financial assets and replaced the incurred loss model with a CECL model for instruments measured at amortized cost. In addition, the new model applies to off-balance sheet credit exposures, such as our unfunded loan commitments. CECL amends the previous credit loss model to reflect our current estimate of our portfolio’s expected credit losses by incorporating reasonable and supportable forecasts including forward-looking information, in addition to historical experience and current market conditions.

ASU 2016-13 was adopted on January 1, 2020 and the initial allowance for credit losses was reflected as a direct charge to cumulative earnings. Subsequent changes to the allowance for credit losses have been and will continue to be recognized through net income (loss) on our condensed consolidated statements of operations. ASU 2016-13 specifies that the allowance should be based on relevant information about past events, including historical loss experience, current portfolio, market conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts for the duration of each respective loan.

Considering the limited historical Company data related to any realized loan losses since our inception, to estimate our allowance for credit losses we use a probability-weighted analytical model that considers the likelihood of default and loss-given-default for each individual loan. The analytical model incorporates a third-party licensed database with historical loan losses from 1998 to 2020 for over 100,000 commercial real estate loans. Our allowance for credit losses reflects our estimates of the current and future economic conditions that impact the performance of the commercial real estate properties serving as collateral for our loan investments. These estimates include unemployment rates, interest rates, price indices for commercial property and other macroeconomic factors impacting the likelihood and magnitude of potential credit losses for our loans during their anticipated term. We license certain macroeconomic forecasts from a third-party to inform our view of the potential future impact that broader macroeconomic conditions may have on the performance of our loan portfolio. These forecasts are embedded in the licensed analytical model that we use to estimate our allowance for credit losses. We may use one or more of these forecasts in the process of estimating our allowance for credit losses. Selection of these economic forecasts requires significant judgment about future events that, while based on the information available to us as of the balance sheet date, are ultimately unknowable with certainty, and the actual economic conditions impacting our portfolio could vary significantly from the estimates we made for the periods presented. Significant inputs to our estimate of the allowance for credit losses include loan specific factors such as debt service coverage ratio, or DSCR, LTV, remaining loan term, property type and others.

~~In certain instances where we determine that a loan~~ is no longer suited for our model-based approach due to its unique risk characteristics, or because we conclude that repayment of the loan’s principal is entirely collateral-dependent, we may instead elect to employ different methods to estimate loan losses that also conform to ASU 2016-13 and related guidance. If we determine that the recovery of that loan’s principal is entirely collateral-dependent, we may assess such an asset individually and elect to apply a practical expedient in accordance with ASU 2016-13. In such cases, the estimate of expected credit loss is measured as the difference between the loan’s amortized cost basis and the estimated fair value of the loan’s collateral. In order to estimate the allowance for credit loss associated with such a loan to reduce its carrying value, we may estimate the fair value of the collateral property, by using certain acceptable valuation techniques, which, among others, may include a discounted cash flow method of valuation less the estimated cost to foreclose and sell the property. The estimation of the fair value of the collateral property is also likely to involve using various Level 3 inputs, which may be in part developed based on discussions with various market participants and management’s best estimates as of the valuation date, and require significant judgement. Such inputs may include, among others, projections of property rents and cash flows over an assumed holding period; property operating expenses including real estate and income taxes; estimates of costs to acquire and sell the collateral property; assumed capitalization and discount rates; and overall market conditions.

The allowance for credit losses is estimated on a quarterly basis and represents management’s estimates of current expected credit losses in our investment portfolio, including unfunded loan commitments. Pools of loans with similar risk characteristics are collectively evaluated while loans that no longer share risk characteristics with loan pools are evaluated individually. Estimating an allowance for credit losses is inherently subjective, as it requires management to exercise significant judgment in establishing appropriate factors used to determine the allowance and a variety of subjective assumptions, including (i) determination of relevant historical loan loss data sets, (ii) projecting the expected timing and amount of future loan fundings and repayments, (iii) assessing the current credit quality of loans and operating performance of loan collateral, (iv) selecting the forecast for macroeconomic conditions and (v) determining the reasonable and supportable forecast period.

~~Table of Contents~~

The allowance for loan losses also includes qualitative adjustments to bring the allowance to the level management believes is appropriate based on factors that have not otherwise been fully accounted for, including adjustments for foresight risk, input imprecisions and model imperfections. Foresight risk reflects the inherent imprecision in forecasting economic variables, including determining the depth and duration of economic cycles and their impact on relevant economic variables. Input imperfection factors address the risk that certain model inputs may not reflect all available information such as changes in the level and quality of experience held by certain borrowers or limitations in data available for certain loan portfolios. Model imprecision considers known model limitations not yet fully reflected in the quantitative estimate. The determination of the appropriate qualitative adjustment is based on management’s analysis of current and expected economic conditions and their impact on the portfolio, as well as a qualitative assessment of the lending environment, including underwriting standards. Management recognizes the sensitivity of various assumptions made in the quantitative modeling of expected losses and may adjust reserves depending upon the level of uncertainty that currently exists in one or more assumptions.

~~Changes in the Fair Value of Our Investments~~

~~We intend to hold our target investments for the long-term and, as such, they are carried at an amortized cost on our condensed consolidated balance sheets.~~

Although we intend to hold our target investments for the long-term, we may occasionally classify some of our debt securities as available-for-sale, or AFS. Investments classified as AFS are carried at their fair value, with changes in fair value recorded through accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), a component of stockholders’ equity, rather than through earnings. We do not intend to hold any of our investments for trading purposes.

~~Changes in Market Interest Rates~~

~~Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements~~

We have not participated in transactions that create relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements. Further, we have not guaranteed any obligations of unconsolidated entities or entered into any commitment or intent to provide funding to any such entities. However, as of June 30, 2021, we had unfunded commitments on commercial real estate loans held-for-investment of $441.1 million to be used for future fundings to borrowers, generally to finance lease-related or capital expenditures.costs.

Dividends

We generally intend to distribute substantially all of our taxable income each year (which does not necessarily equal net income as calculated in accordance with GAAP) to our stockholders to comply with the REIT provisions of the Code. In addition, our dividend policy remains subject to revision at the discretion of our board of directors. All distributions will be made at the discretion of our board of directors and will depend upon, among other things, our actual results of operations and liquidity. These results, and our ability to pay distributions, will be affected by various factors, including our taxable income, our financial condition, our maintenance of REIT status, restrictions related to our financing facilities, applicable law and other factors as our board of directors deems relevant.

Inflation

Virtually all of our assets and liabilities are interest rate sensitive in nature. As a result, interest rates and other factors typically influence our performance ~~far~~ more than inflation does. ~~Changes~~However, changes in interest rates ~~do not necessarily~~may correlate with inflation rates or changes in inflation rates. Recently, the Federal Reserve approved increases to its federal funds rate target range and has indicated that, in light of the high rate of inflation, it foresees further increases in interest rates throughout the year and into 2023 and 2024. Our condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP and our distributions will be determined by our board of directors consistent with our obligation to distribute to our stockholders at least 90% of our REIT taxable income on an annual basis in order to maintain our REIT qualification; in each case, our activities and balance sheet are measured with reference to historical cost and/or fair market value without considering inflation.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

We seek to manage our risks related to the credit quality of our investments, interest rates, liquidity and market value while, at the same time, seeking to generate attractive risk-adjusted returns to our stockholders. While we are exposed to certain types of market risk in our business, we seek to actively manage them using our risk management infrastructure and philosophy centered around quantifying and measuring various market risks on a continuous basis. We seek to be fairly compensated through the returns we earn on our investments for taking those risks and focus on maintaining liquidity and capital levels consistent with the risks to which we are exposed. However, many of those risks have been magnified by the continuing economic disruption and capital markets volatility resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic.

50Recent Market Conditions

~~Table~~Due to the current COVID-19 pandemic and its ongoing impacts, most of ~~Contents~~our borrowers, sponsors, their tenants, the properties serving as collateral for our loan investments and the economy as a whole have been, and will likely continue to be, adversely affected. See

“COVID-19 Pandemic”

in Part II, Item 2 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for further discussion of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on market conditions.

Credit Risk

We are subject to varying degrees of credit risk in connection with holding a portfolio of our target investments. The performance and value of our investments depend upon the sponsors’ ability to operate the properties that serve as our collateral so that they produce cash flows adequate to pay interest and principal due to us. We seek to manage credit risk by performing deep fundamental credit analysis of our potential investments, as well as seeking to originate or acquire assets of higher quality at appropriate rates of return given anticipated and unanticipated losses, by employing a comprehensive review and selection process and by proactively monitoring our investments. Credit risk is also addressed through our ongoing review, and our investment portfolio is monitored for variance from underwritten and expected results on a monthly basis, with more intense analysis and oversight done on a quarterly basis. Nevertheless, unanticipated credit losses, including as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, could occur that could adversely impact our operating results.

We employ a long-term, fundamental value-oriented investment strategy and we aim to, on a loan-by-loan basis, construct an investment portfolio that is well-diversified across property types, geographies and sponsors. However, any potential negative impacts on our business as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic may be heightened by the fact that we are not required to observe specific diversification criteria, which means that our investments may be relatively concentrated in certain property types, geographical areas or loan categories that may be more adversely affected by the pandemic than others. For example, certain of our loans are secured by office, industrial, multifamily, hotel and retail properties. Federal and state mandates implemented to control the spread of the virus, including restrictions on freedom of movement and business operations such as travel bans, border closings, business closures, quarantines and shelter-in-place orders, have negatively impacted, and are expected to continue to negatively impact, the hotel and retail industries, which could adversely affect our assets secured by such properties. Also, changesChanges in how certain types of commercial properties are operated to facilitate social distancing and other measures intended to control the impact of the pandemic have impacted, and are likely to continue to impact, our investments secured by these properties.

The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly impacted the commercial real estate markets, causing reduced occupancy, requests from tenants for rent deferrals or abatement and delays in capital improvements on projects currently planned or underway. These negative conditions may persist into the future and impair our borrowers’ ability to pay principal and interest due to us under our loan agreements. We maintain an active dialogue and strong relationships with our borrowers as part of our overall asset management strategy. Through our asset management process, we focus on addressing potential impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on our loans secured by properties experiencing cash flow strains. Certain of our borrowers have indicated that due to the impact of COVID-19 pandemic they will be unable to timely execute their business plans, have had to temporarily close their businesses or have experienced other business challenges. As a result, they have requested, and in certain instances we have granted, temporary deferrals of interest payments or forbearance, or other modifications of their loans. Discussions we have had with our borrowers have addressed potential near-term loan modifications including repurposing of funds in certain reserve accounts, temporary deferrals of interest or performance tests and certain covenant waivers on loans collateralized by properties impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. While we generally believe that the principal amount of our loans is typically sufficiently protected by the underlying collateral value, there is a risk that we will not realize the entire principal amount of certain of our loan investments.

Interest Rate Risk

Our strategy is to primarily originate, invest in and manage a portfolio of senior floating-rate commercial mortgage loans. As a result, the composition of our investments in general is such that rising interest rates increase our net income, while declining interest rates will decrease our net income, subject to the impact of contractual interest rate floors. From time to time, we may originate or acquire fixed-rate investments, which may expose our operating results to the risks posed by fluctuations in interest rates, which we may choose to hedge, if we deem it prudent.

Table of Contents

Until recently, interest rates have remained at relatively low levels and the Federal Reserve maintained the federal funds target range at 0.00% to 0.25% for much of 2021. However, in response to the inflationary pressures, earlier in 2022, the Federal Reserve has begun raising its federal funds target range and has indicated that, in light of the persistent high rate of inflation, it anticipates further increases in interest rates throughout 2022 and into 2023. Such increases in interest rates may increase our interest expense, which may not be fully offset by any increases in interest income, and may also slow the pace of loan repayments and increase the number of our borrowers who seek extension of term on their loans. The potential ultimate impact of higher market interest rates on the economy, real estate fundamentals in general and our business is uncertain and difficult to predict.

As of June 30, ~~2021,~~2022, approximately ~~98.2%~~98.8% of our portfolio by carrying value earned a floating rate of interest. The remaining approximately ~~1.8%~~1.2% of our portfolio earned a fixed rate of interest. If interest rates were to decline, the value of these fixed-rate investments may increase, and if interest rates were to increase, the value of these fixed-rate investments may fall; however, the interest income generated by these investments would not be affected by fluctuations in market interest rates. The interest rates we pay under our current repurchase facilities, asset-specific financing facility ~~term financing facility~~ and CRE CLOs are primarily floating rate, which generally, and with limited exceptions, are not subject to contractual interest rate floors. Accordingly, our interest expense generally increases as interest rates increase and decreases as interest rates decrease.

Our analysis of risks is based on our experience, estimates ~~models~~ and assumptions. These analyses rely on models which utilize estimates of fair value and interest rate sensitivity. Actual economic conditions or our implementation of decisions may produce results that differ significantly from the estimates and assumptions used in our models.

~~Table of Contents~~

The information presented in the following interest rate sensitivity table projects the potential impact of sudden parallel changes in interest rates on our financial results and financial condition over the next 12 months, based on our interest sensitive financial instruments at June 30, ~~2021.~~2022. All changes in value are measured as the change from our June 30, ~~2021~~2022, financial position. All projected changes in annualized net interest income are measured as the change from our projected annualized net interest income based off current performance returns. Actual results of changes in annualized net interest income may differ from the information presented in the sensitivity table below due to differences between the dates of actual interest rate resets in our loan investments and our floating rate interest-bearing liabilities, and the dates as of which the analysis was performed.

(1)Changes in interest rates were limited to a decrease in rate to zero percent.

The interest rate sensitivity table quantifies the potential changes in annualized net interest income and portfolio value, should interest rates immediately change. The interest rate sensitivity table presents the estimated impact of interest rates instantaneously rising 50 and 100 basis points, and falling 50 and 100 basis points. The cash flows associated with the portfolio for each rate change are calculated based on assumptions, including yield on future originations and acquisitions, slope of the yield curve and size of the portfolio. Assumptions made on the interest rate sensitive liabilities include anticipated interest rates, collateral requirements as a percentage of borrowings and amount and term of borrowing.

Certain assumptions have been made in connection with the calculation of the information set forth in the foregoing interest rate sensitivity table and, as such, there can be no assurance that assumed events will occur or that other events will not occur that would affect the outcomes. The base interest rate scenario assumes interest rates at June 30, ~~2021.~~2022. The analysis utilizes assumptions and estimates based on management’s judgment and experience. Furthermore, while we generally expect to retain such assets and the associated interest rate risk to maturity, future originations, acquisitions and sales of assets could materially change our interest rate risk profile.

Table of Contents

The information set forth in the interest rate sensitivity table above and all related disclosures constitutes forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimated in the foregoing interest rate sensitivity table.

~~LIBOR Transition~~

It appears highly likely that LIBOR will be discontinued after December 31, 2021 or June 30, 2023, depending on the tenor. For example, on March 5, 2021, the ICE Benchmark Administration confirmed its intention to cease publication of (i) one week and two month U.S. Dollar LIBOR settings after December 31, 2021 and (ii) the remaining U.S. Dollar LIBOR settings after June 30, 2023. The United States Federal Reserve has also advised banks to cease entering into new contracts that use LIBOR as a reference rate. The Federal Reserve, in conjunction with the Alternative Reference Rate Committee, a committee convened by the Federal Reserve that includes major market participants, has identified the Secured Overnight Financing Rate, or SOFR, a new index calculated by short-term repurchase agreements, backed by United States Treasury securities, as its preferred alternative rate for LIBOR. At this time, it is not possible to predict how markets will respond to SOFR or other alternative reference rates as the transition away from the LIBOR benchmarks is anticipated in coming years. Accordingly, the outcome of these reforms is uncertain and any changes in the methods by which LIBOR is determined or regulatory activity related to LIBOR’s phaseout could cause LIBOR to perform differently than in the past.

~~Table of Contents~~

As of June 30, 2021, approximately 98.1% of our loans by principal balance earned a floating rate of interest indexed to LIBOR, and 100.0% of our outstanding borrowings (excluding convertible notes and senior secured financing facilities) bear interest indexed to LIBOR. Some of these arrangements may not include robust fallback language that would facilitate replacing LIBOR with a clearly defined alternative reference rate after LIBOR’s discontinuation, and we may need to amend these before LIBOR is discontinued. Regardless, there can be no assurances as to what alternative base rates may be and whether such base rate will be more or less favorable than LIBOR and any other unforeseen impacts of the potential discontinuation of LIBOR. We intend to monitor the developments with respect to the potential phasing out of LIBOR and work with our lenders and borrowers to minimize the impact of any LIBOR transition on our financial condition and results of operations, but can provide no assurances regarding the impact of the discontinuation of LIBOR.

Market Value Risk

We intend to hold our target investments for the long-term and, as such, they are carried at an amortized cost on our condensed consolidated balance sheets. However, we may occasionally classify some of our investments as AFS. Investments classified as AFS are carried at their fair value, with changes in fair value recorded through accumulated other comprehensive income, ~~(loss),~~ a component of stockholders’ equity, rather than through earnings. The estimated fair value of such investments may fluctuate primarily due to changes in interest rates, overall market environment and liquidity and other factors. As market volatility increases or liquidity decreases, the market value of the investments may be adversely impacted. We do not intend to hold any of our investments for trading purposes.

Borrower Performance

In addition to the risks related to fluctuations in cash flows and investment values associated with movements in interest rates, there is also the risk of borrower non-performance on our floating-rate investments. If interest rates were to significantly rise, it is possible that the increased debt service costs may negatively impact operating cash flows on properties securing our commercial real estate loan investments, resulting in potential non-performance of our borrowers or, in severe cases, default. This risk is partially mitigated by various ~~facts~~factors we consider during our rigorous underwriting and loan structuring process, which in certain cases include a requirement for our borrower to purchase an interest rate cap contract.

Capital Markets Risk

As a REIT, we are required to distribute a significant portion of our taxable income annually, which constrains our ability to accumulate significant operating cash flow and therefore requires us to utilize capital markets, both debt and equity, to finance our business. As a result, we are exposed to risks related to the equity capital markets and our related ability to raise capital through the issuance of our common stock or other equity instruments. We are also exposed to risks related to the debt capital markets, and our related ability to finance our business through borrowings under credit facilities or other debt instruments, such as securitizations or unsecured debt. We seek to mitigate these risks by monitoring the debt and equity capital markets to inform our decisions on the amount, timing and terms of capital we raise.

The COVID-19 pandemic and its ongoing impacts continue to cause disruptions in the U.S and global economies, and capital markets resulting in volatility, widening credit spreads and liquidity availability. Other factors, such as rising interest rates, high inflation, supply chain disruptions, growing geopolitical tensions and increased volatility in public equity and fixed income markets have led to increased cost and availability of capital, which may adversely impact the ability of commercial property owners to service their debt obligations and refinance their loans as they mature.

Real Estate Risk

Our business strategy focuses on commercial real estate related debt investments. As a result, we will be exposed to the risks generally associated with the commercial real estate market, including occupancy rates, capitalization rates, absorption rates and other macroeconomic factors beyond our control, including, but not limited to, the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic discussed above.

Additionally, commercial real estate debt investments may be affected by a number of factors, including national, regional and local economic and real estate conditions, changes in business trends of specific industry segments, property construction characteristics, demographic factors and changes to ~~building codes.~~laws and regulations, including additional restrictions or requirements on the development of commercial real estate intended to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and climate change. Any combination of these factors may affect the value of real estate collateral for investments within our investment portfolio and the potential proceeds available to a borrower to repay the underlying loans, which could cause us to suffer losses. We seek to manage these risks through our rigorous and fundamentally driven underwriting and investment management processes.

Liquidity Risk

Our liquidity risk is principally associated with our financing of longer-maturity investments with shorter-term borrowings, such as repurchase ~~facilities and an asset-specific financing facility.~~facilities. Should the value of our investments serving as collateral for our repurchase facilities significantly decrease, including, but not limited to, as a result of the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic discussed above, our lenders may exercise their margin call rights, causing an adverse change in our liquidity position. If we fail to resolve such margin calls when due, the lenders may exercise their rights under such repurchase facilities, including requiring payment by us of our aggregate outstanding financing obligations and/or taking ownership of the loans securing such obligations, potentially on an unfinanced basis, thereby reducing our available liquidity. Additionally, if one or more of our ~~repurchase facilities or asset-specific~~ financing ~~facility~~ counterparties should choose not to provide ongoing funding, including with respect to future funding obligations on existing loans financed with such counterparties, which such risks are increased as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and its effects on the global and U.S. economies and commercial real estate markets, our ability to finance our investments and related future funding obligations would decline or exist at possibly less advantageous terms.

Extension Risk

Table of Contents

~~Extension Risk~~

We manage our assets based on a variety of assumptions and estimates, including among others, assumptions regarding the rate at which the borrowers will prepay our loans or extend. If prepayment rates decrease in a rising interest rate environment or extension options are exercised, the life of our loan investments could extend beyond the term of the secured financing agreements. The macroeconomic, commercial real estate and capital markets disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic have resulted in, and will likely continue to result in, a decrease in prepayment rates and an increase in the number of our borrowers who exercise loan extension options. In addition, higher interest rates imposed by the Federal Reserve to address the high rate of inflation have led to, and may continue to lead to, a decrease in prepayment speeds and an increase in the number of our borrowers who exercise loan extension options. This could have a negative impact on our results of operations. In some situations, we may be forced to sell assets to maintain adequate liquidity, which could cause us to incur losses.

As part of our overall asset management strategy, we have in the past entered into, and may in the future enter into, loan modifications with some of our borrowers. These amendments may include, among other things, modifying or waiving certain performance or extension conditions as part of the overall agreement, which are often coupled with additional equity or other forms of credit support from the sponsor. We work closely with our lending counterparties when negotiating and entering into loan modifications with our borrowers to ensure we maintain financing on modified assets. There can be no assurance that going forward we will be able to maintain financing on modified loans.

Risk Management

To the extent consistent with maintaining our REIT qualification, we seek to manage risk exposure by closely monitoring our portfolio and actively managing the financing, interest rate, credit and other risks associated with holding a portfolio of our target investments. Generally, we:

•manage our portfolio with focus on diligent, investment-specific market review, enforcement of loan and security rights and timely execution of disposition strategies;

•actively employ portfolio-wide and investment-specific risk measurement and management processes in our daily operations, including utilizing risk management tools; and

•seek to manage credit risk through our rigorous underwriting due diligence process prior to origination or acquisition of our target investments, and through the use of nonrecourse financing when and where available and appropriate.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

A review and evaluation was performed by our management, including our Chief Executive Officer, or CEO, and Chief Financial Officer, or CFO, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on that review and evaluation, the CEO and CFO have concluded that our current disclosure controls and procedures, as designed and implemented, were effective as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Although our CEO and CFO have determined our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, a control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that it will detect or uncover failures within the Company to disclose material information otherwise required to be set forth in the reports we submit under the Exchange Act.

There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended June 30, ~~2021~~2022, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
