Quarter Ended June 30, 2016
– Quarterly GAAP Earnings of $0.47 and Core Earnings of $0.50 per Diluted Common Share –

– Declares Dividend of $0.48 per Share for the Third Quarter of 2016 –
GREENWICH, Conn., August 4, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Starwood Property Trust, Inc. (NYSE: STWD) today announced operating results for the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2016. The Company’s second quarter 2016 GAAP net income was $111.5 million, or $0.47 per diluted share, and Core Earnings (a non-GAAP financial measure) was $119.9 million, or $0.50 per diluted share.
“We are pleased with our strong performance this quarter, driven by significant contributions from each of our business segments. Despite a volatile market backdrop in the first half of the year, including an uncertain domestic economic and geopolitical environment, we deployed $2.5 billion of capital and continued to source investments with attractive returns and a risk profile consistent with our historical standards. In our seven years as a public company, we have not realized a single credit loss in the $19.0 billion of loans we have originated or acquired. As a testament to our conservative underwriting, our loan portfolio continues to maintain a conservative weighted average LTV of 61.9%, which is down from a peak of 67.8% in 2011 when our loan book was one-third the size it is today. We are particularly pleased with the progress of our equity investments, including those embedded in our loan book, where we continue to expect meaningful appreciation over time,” stated Barry Sternlicht, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Starwood Property Trust.
Mr. Sternlicht continued, “We believe opportunities will remain abundant as recent structural changes in the U.S. and European lending markets are coinciding with increasing levels of commercial real estate debt maturities. Our servicing platform should provide a front row seat to any distress that may occur as those pre-2008 borrowers refinance. Our conservative balance sheet and access to liquidity should allow us to capitalize on these opportunities and any future dislocations in the credit markets. As we have done in the past, we will leverage our global operating platforms across Starwood Property Trust and Starwood Capital Group to source the best risk-adjusted investments for our shareholders in order to generate exceptional returns over the long term.”

Statements in this press release which are not historical fact may be deemed forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Although Starwood Property Trust, Inc. believes the expectations reflected in any forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, it can give no assurance that its expectations will be attained.

Footnotes
| (1) | | The difference between the Carry Value and Face Amount of the loans held for investment consists of unamortized purchase discount, deferred loan fees and loan origination costs. The difference between the Carry Value and Face Amount of the RMBS available-for-sale securities consists of the unrealized gains/(losses) on the fair value of the securities and unamortized purchase discount. |
| (2) | | Current financings are either floating rate or swapped to fixed rate to match the interest rate characteristics of the underlying asset. |
| (3) | | The current leveraged return represents the compounded effective rate of return earned over the life of the investment based on existing leverage levels as of June 30, 2016, and calculated on a weighted average basis. Leveraged returns include the loan coupon, amortization of premium or discount, and the effects of costs and fees, all recognized on the effective interest method. Leveraged returns are presented solely for informational purposes and will not equal income recognized in prior or future periods due mainly to the fact that (i) interest earned on the Company’s floating rate loans will change in the future when interest rates change, and these leveraged returns assume interest rates remain at current levels and (ii) the leveraged returns assume that the leverage levels existing at June 30, 2016 will be maintained either throughout the remaining term of the applicable credit facilities or the remaining term of the investment, if shorter. However, leverage levels in future periods will likely fluctuate as the Company manages its day-to-day liquidity. |
| (4) | | The optimal asset-level return assumes (i) maximum available leverage in place or in negotiation for each asset, notwithstanding the amount actually borrowed, and (ii) full syndication of the first mortgage when syndication is deemed probable. |
| (5) | | First mortgages include first mortgage loans and any contiguous subordinated mortgage and/or mezzanine loan components because as a whole, the expected credit quality of these loans is more similar to that of a first mortgage loan. The application of this methodology resulted in mezzanine loans with carrying values of $949.2 million being classified as first mortgages as of June 30, 2016. |
| (6) | | Underlying property values are determined by the Company’s management based on its ongoing asset assessments, and loan balances that are the face value of a loan regardless of whether the Company has purchased the loan at a discount or premium to par. Assets characterized as first mortgages include all loan components where the Company owns the senior most interest in the loan, which may include subordinated mortgages and/or mezzanine loans. Assets characterized as subordinated mortgages are the subordinated components of first mortgages where the Company does not own the senior most interest in the loan. Assets characterized as mezzanine loans are mezzanine loans where the Company does not own the senior most interest in the loan. For any loans collateralized by ground-up construction projects without significant leasing or units with executed sales contracts, the fully funded loan balance is included in the numerator and the fully budgeted construction cost, including costs of acquisition of the property, is included in the denominator. For ground up construction loans which have significant leasing or units under contract for sale, the fully funded loan balance is included in the numerator with an estimate of the stabilized value upon completion of construction included in the denominator. Includes loans held for investment and preferred equity. |
| (7) | | Represents the Company’s entire investment, which includes all components of the capital stack that it owns (i.e., first mortgages, subordinated mortgages, mezzanine loans and preferred equity). |
| (8) | | Face amount is $4.7 billion. Differences between face amount and carry value are principally attributable to purchase discounts and changes in fair value. |
| (9) | | Carrying value includes all components of the related asset, including properties and intangibles. |
| (10) | | Excludes income of $0.8 million associated with the forgiveness of certain government-sponsored financing. |
| (11) | | Adjusted for accumulated depreciation and amortization associated with commercial real estate properties. |

Definition of Core Earnings
Core Earnings, a non-GAAP financial measure, is used to compute the Company’s incentive fees to its external manager and is an appropriate supplemental disclosure for a mortgage REIT. For the Company’s purposes, Core Earnings is defined as GAAP net income (loss) excluding non-cash equity compensation expense, the incentive fee due to the Company’s external manager, acquisition costs from successful acquisitions, depreciation and amortization of real estate and associated intangibles, losses on debt extinguishment and any unrealized gains, losses or other non-cash items recorded in net income for the period, regardless of whether such items are included in other comprehensive income or loss, or in net income. The amount is adjusted to exclude one-time events pursuant to changes in GAAP and certain other non-cash adjustments as determined by the Company’s external manager and approved by a majority of the Company’s independent directors.
