NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--August 5, 2014--Ladder Capital Corp (NYSE:LADR) (“we,” “Ladder,” or the “Company”) today announced operating results for the quarter ended June 30, 2014. Core Earnings, a non-GAAP financial measure, were $62.3 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2014, compared to $40.9 million earned in the second quarter of 2013, an increase of 52.2%. For the six months ended June 30, 2014, Core Earnings were $119.1 million compared to $135.3 million for the comparable period in 2013. We believe Core Earnings, which adjusts GAAP income before taxes for certain non-cash expenses and unrecognized derivative results, is useful in evaluating our earnings from operations. Net income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 was $30.2 million and $48.6 million, respectively, compared to $59.8 million and $147.8 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively.
Core EPS, a non-GAAP measure, was $0.38 per share for the second quarter of 2014, and $0.75 per share for the six months ended June 30, 2014. Basic EPS on a GAAP basis was $0.26 per share and $0.51 per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively.
As of June 30, 2014, we had total assets of $3.8 billion, including $1.1 billion of commercial real estate loans, $1.8 billion of commercial real estate-related securities, $561.2 million of real estate, $123.0 million of total cash and $175.6 million of other assets. At the end of the second quarter of 2014, 77.8% of our total assets were comprised of senior secured assets, including first mortgage loans, real estate-related securities secured by first mortgage loans, and cash. Senior secured assets comprised 98.5% of the total $1.6 billion investment activity during the second quarter of 2014.
During the three months ended June 30, 2014, we originated $1.3 billion of loans, comprised of $827.9 million of commercial mortgage loans held for sale and $427.8 million of commercial mortgage loans held for investment. The additional liquidity resulting from the Company’s initial public offering in the first quarter of 2014 allowed us to originate larger loans, including a $350.0 million first mortgage loan secured by an office building in New York City, which was sold into a single-asset securitization transaction during the quarter. We also participated in two other securitization transactions during the second quarter of 2014, contributing a total of $886.0 million in face amount of commercial mortgage loans. The sale of loans into these three securitization transactions, as well as other whole loan sales, resulted in income from the sale of loans, net, of $45.4 million in the second quarter of 2014. After factoring in related hedging results and other related adjustments, the net result from loans sold into securitizations during the quarter was $39.9 million. We also received $66.3 million in proceeds from the repayment of mortgage loans held for investment during the second quarter of 2014.
Our portfolio of CMBS and U.S. Agency securities increased by $84.4 million during the second quarter of 2014 to $1.8 billion. We purchased $326.0 million and sold $171.6 million of securities during the three months ended June 30, 2014. We also received $76.1 million of proceeds from the repayment of securities during the quarter.
During the second quarter of 2014, we sold one net lease retail property and one building from a portfolio of office buildings that we own through a consolidated joint venture resulting in total income of $2.8 million. We also sold 43 condominium units during the three months ended June 30, 2014, which generated income of $6.2 million. We did not acquire any new real estate properties during the quarter, and our total real estate portfolio as of June 30, 2014 decreased to $561.2 million.

We originate conduit first mortgage loans eligible for securitization that are secured by cash-flowing commercial real estate properties. These first mortgage loans are structured with fixed rates and five- to ten-year terms. During the second quarter of 2014, we participated in three commercial mortgage loan securitization transactions, selling and contributing $886.0 million in principal value of loans. As of June 30, 2014, we held seven first mortgage loans that were substantially available for sale into future securitizations with an aggregate book value of $103.7 million. Based on the outstanding loan principal balances at June 30, 2014 and the “as-is” third-party FIRREA appraised values at origination, the weighted average loan-to-value ratio of this portfolio was 59.9%.
We also originate balance sheet first mortgage loans secured by commercial real estate properties that are undergoing lease-up, sell-out, renovation, or repositioning. These mortgage loans are generally structured with floating rates and terms (including extension options) ranging from one to five years. As of June 30, 2014, we held a portfolio of 35 balance sheet first mortgage loans with an aggregate book value of $912.2 million. Based on the outstanding loan principal balances at June 30, 2014 and the “as-is” third-party FIRREA appraised values at origination, the weighted average loan-to-value ratio of this portfolio was 69.9%.
We selectively invest in other commercial real estate loans in the form of note purchase financings, subordinated debt, mezzanine debt, and other structured finance products related to commercial real estate. We held $113.9 million of other commercial real estate-related loans as of June 30, 2014. Based on the outstanding loan principal balances through the mezzanine or subordinated debt level at June 30, 2014 and the “as-is” third-party FIRREA appraised values at origination, the weighted average loan-to-value ratio of this portfolio was 71.8%.
As of June 30, 2014, our portfolio of CMBS investments had an estimated fair value of $1.6 billion and was comprised of investments in 137 CUSIPs ($11.8 million average investment per CUSIP), with a weighted average duration of 4.3 years.
As of June 30, 2014, our portfolio of U.S. Agency Securities had an estimated fair value of $216.5 million and was comprised of investments in 59 CUSIPs ($3.7 million average investment per CUSIP), with a weighted average duration of 4.2 years.
As of June 30, 2014, we owned 33 single tenant retail properties, two individual office buildings, a portfolio of office buildings, 258 condominium units at Veer Towers in Las Vegas, and 308 apartment/condominium units at Terrazas River Park Village in Miami. Our total real estate portfolio had an aggregate book value of $561.2 million. We typically originate internal non-recourse mortgage loan financing secured by an individual property or a group of properties in our real estate portfolio and subsequently seek to securitize these loans. Once the loans have been securitized, they are included on our balance sheet as non-recourse long-term financing. As of June 30, 2014, we had $314.6 million of such non-recourse financing, secured by certain of our real estate properties.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We held unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of $85.0 million at June 30, 2014. We had total debt outstanding of $2.2 billion as of June 30, 2014, and we had an additional $1.7 billion of committed financing available for additional investment through our FHLB membership, our revolving credit agreements, and our committed repurchase facilities. During the second quarter, we requested and were granted an increase in the total funds available to us through our FHLB membership. The sales of loans during the latter part of June allowed us to significantly reduce debt used to finance loans as of June 30, 2014.

Recent Developments
On August 1, 2014, we issued $300.0 million in aggregate principal of unsecured 5.875% senior notes due 2021 (the “Offering”) in a private offering to qualified institutional buyers. The Offering, Ladder’s second issuance of senior notes, lengthens the maturity profile of our indebtedness and increases the total amount of senior unsecured notes to $625.0 million, with an additional $75.0 million of unsecured borrowings available to us under our revolving credit facility. We intend to use the proceeds from the Offering to repay certain of our funding debt and for general corporate purposes.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We present Core Earnings, which is a non-GAAP measure, as a supplemental measure of our performance. We define Core Earnings as income before taxes adjusted to exclude (i) net (income) loss attributable to noncontrolling interests in our consolidated joint ventures, (ii) real estate depreciation and amortization, (iii) the impact of derivative gains and losses related to the hedging of assets on our balance sheet as of the end of the specified accounting period, (iv) unrealized gains/(losses) related to our investments in agency interest-only securities, (v) the premium (discount) on long-term financing and the related amortization of premium on long-term financing, (vi) non-cash stock-based compensation and (vii) certain one-time items. We do not designate derivatives as hedges to qualify for hedge accounting and therefore any net payments under, or fluctuations in the fair value of, our derivatives are recognized currently in our income statement. However, fluctuations in the fair value of the related assets are not included in our income statement. We consider the gain or loss on our hedging positions related to assets that we still own as of the reporting date to be “open hedging positions.” We exclude the results on the hedges from Core Earnings until the related asset is sold, and the hedge position is considered “closed.” We believe that excluding these specifically identified gains and losses associated with the open hedging positions adjusts for timing differences between when we recognize changes in the fair values of our assets and derivatives which we use to hedge asset values.

The Company’s effective tax rate on a GAAP basis for the six months and the three months ended June 30, 2014 was 21.8% and 21.4%, respectively.
Core EPS information is not applicable for reporting periods prior to the first quarter of 2014 and our IPO.
We present Core Earnings and Core EPS because we believe they assist investors in comparing our performance across reporting periods on a consistent basis by excluding non-cash expenses and unrecognized results from derivatives and Agency interest-only securities, which we believe makes comparisons across reporting periods more relevant by eliminating timing differences related to changes in the values of assets and derivatives. In addition, we use Core Earnings and Core EPS: (i) to evaluate our earnings from operations and (ii) because management believes that it may be a useful performance measure for us.
Core Earnings and Core EPS have limitations as an analytical tool. Some of these limitations are:
- Core Earnings and Core EPS do not reflect the impact of certain cash charges resulting from matters we consider not to be indicative of our ongoing operations and is not necessarily indicative of cash necessary to fund cash needs;
- Core EPS is based on a non-GAAP estimate of Ladder’s effective tax rate, including the impact of UBT, assuming the conversion of all shares of Class B common stock into shares of Class A common stock. Ladder’s actual tax rate may differ materially from this estimate; and
- Other companies in our industry may calculate Core Earnings and Core EPS differently than we do, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure.
Because of these limitations, Core Earnings and Core EPS should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net income or earnings per share as an alternative to cash flow as a measure of our liquidity or any other performance measures calculated in accordance with GAAP.
In the future we may incur gains and losses that are the same as or similar to some of the adjustments in this presentation. Our presentation of Core Earnings and Core EPS should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items.
For additional information about our non-GAAP financial measures, please refer to our Form 10-Q.
