Dear Fellow Stockholder:
InPoint Commercial Real Estate Income, Inc. (we or InPoint) declared a distribution in a gross amount equal to $0.1042 per share for stockholders of record as of March 31, 2024.1 This distribution, which will be paid on or about April 17, 2024, represents an approximate 7.43 percent annualized distribution rate based on InPoint’s aggregate net asset value (NAV) per share as of February 29, 20242.
Our team remains focused on safeguarding investor capital through prudent management of our portfolio of loans. As of December 31, 2023, we had 36 loans in our portfolio with an outstanding principal balance of approximately $743 million. Our credit process includes ongoing monitoring of property performance and borrower financial health. The majority of the loans in InPoint’s portfolio are performing as initially projected, with borrowers meeting their monthly debt service obligations.
Eight of InPoint’s loans paid off in full between January 1, 2023 and February 29, 2024, for a total of approximately $127 million. After repayment of related portfolio financing, we employ our disciplined approach to managing excess cash, ensuring adequate portfolio liquidity to address future funding commitments to our borrowers, which total $31 million as of December 31, 2023, and any line of credit borrowings that InPoint may be required to repay due to any future distressed loans.
It is noteworthy that our portfolio’s largest sector allocation, at 62 percent, is secured by multifamily properties. The multifamily sector normalized in 2023, with increasing cost of homeownership and strong demographics supporting demand. While the sector has performed well, as of December 31, 2023, InPoint has recorded a specific loan loss reserve of approximately $7 million on one loan secured by a multifamily property.
The office sector has been negatively impacted even more than other real estate sectors, primarily due to ongoing remote work trends3. InPoint’s portfolio as of December 31, 2023 had nine loans secured by office properties totaling $107 million, net of loan participations sold. InPoint has recorded a specific loan loss reserve of approximately $9 million on three of these loans. Our proactive measures, including approximately $16 million in specific loan loss reserves, demonstrate our commitment to prudently managing risk while maintaining the flexibility to pursue strategic alternatives.
As previously disclosed, InPoint’s Board engaged Robert A. Stanger & Co., Inc., an investment banking firm, to assist in evaluating strategic alternatives, including, but not limited to, status quo, merger, listing, or liquidation of InPoint’s assets. Management and the Board intend to continue to analyze various strategic alternatives as market conditions evolve.
Despite challenges posed by the rise in interest rates impacting property valuations and commercial real estate transaction volumes, we remain optimistic about the stability of InPoint’s assets. While market conditions may continue to be difficult for commercial real estate borrowers and lenders in the near future, we believe that the market is poised for improvement later in 2024. In the meantime, our focus is on retaining the liquidity that may be necessary to address any portfolio challenges, and continuing to assess our strategic options.
I look forward to keeping you apprised of updates related to our operational and strategic efforts. And, as always, we will continue to communicate with you through our regular public filings and as conditions warrant. If you have questions about anything discussed here or regarding your InPoint investment, please contact your financial professional or Inland Investor
Services at our new customer service phone line: 866-My-Inland (866-694-6526). Our hope is that this new phone line will improve your experience with us and streamline communication.
Sincerely,
InPoint Commercial Real Estate Income, Inc.
Mitchell Sabshon
Chief Executive Officer
