BROADMARK REALTY CAPITAL ANNOUNCES THIRD QUARTER 2020 RESULTS

– Originated $153.4 Million of Loans –

– Industry Leading Balance Sheet with No Debt and $173.6 Million of Cash –

Seattle, WA – November 9, 2020 – Broadmark Realty Capital Inc. (NYSE: BRMK) (the “Company”), an internally managed real estate secured finance company, today announced operating results for the quarter ended September 30, 2020.

“We are very happy to have regained momentum as our third quarter origination volumes have returned to pre-COVID levels, reflecting the resiliency of housing fundamentals in our high-growth target markets,” said Jeff Pyatt, President and Chief Executive Officer of Broadmark. “We continue to experience sustained demand for construction loans supported by the current low interest rate environment as well as continued new household formation. Furthermore, we are gaining incremental share in all of our regions, particularly in our newer Southeast and Mid-Atlantic markets as we demonstrate our unparalleled speed and certainty of execution relative to other lenders.”

Mr. Pyatt continued, “We believe that we are incredibly well positioned with our portfolio of primarily residential loans and a continued focus on supporting the effort to meet the housing shortage. The demand for new housing construction has persisted through the pandemic, while other real estate assets remain under pressure. Our lending expertise and no debt balance sheet position us to capitalize on these near and long-term drivers as we focus on the creation of shareholder value in the process.”

RECONCILIATION OF NET INCOME TO CORE EARNINGS

(in thousands, except for per share amounts)

Definition of Core Earnings

Core earnings is a non-GAAP financial measure used by management as a supplemental measure to evaluate the Company’s performance. The Company defines core earnings as net income attributable to common stockholders adjusted for: (i) impairment recorded on its investments in mortgage notes receivable; (ii) realized and unrealized gains or losses on both investments and optional subscription liabilities; (iii) non-capitalized transaction-related expenses and first year public company transition expenses; (iv) non-cash stock-based compensation; (v) amortization of intangible assets; and (vi) deferred taxes, which are subject to variability and generally not indicative of future economic performance or representative of current operations.

Management believes that the adjustments to compute “core earnings” specified above allow investors and analysts to readily identify and track the operating performance of the assets that form the core of the Company’s activity, assist in comparing the core operating results between periods, and enable investors to evaluate the Company’s current core performance using the same measure that management uses to operate the business. Core earnings excludes certain recurring items, such as gains and losses (including provision for loan losses) and non-capitalized transaction-related expenses, because they are not considered by management to be part of the Company’s core operations for the reasons described herein. As such, core earnings is not intended to reflect all of the Company’s activity and should be considered as only one of the factors used by management in assessing the Company’s performance, along with GAAP net income which is inclusive of all of its activities.

Core earnings does not represent, and should not be considered as a substitute, for net income or as a substitute for cash flows from operating activities, each as determined in accordance with GAAP, and the Company’s calculation of this measure may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. Set forth below is a reconciliation of core earnings to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure:
