This Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), which reflect our current views with respect to, among other things, our operations and financial performance. You can identify these forward-looking statements by the use of words such as “outlook,” “believe,” “expect,” “potential,” “continue,” “may,” “should,” “seek,” “approximately,” “predict,” “intend,” “will,” “plan,” “estimate,” “anticipate,” the negative version of these words, other comparable words or other statements that do not relate strictly to historical or factual matters. By their nature, forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made, are not statements of historical fact or guarantees of future performance and are subject to risks, uncertainties, assumptions or changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict or quantify. Our expectations, beliefs and projections are expressed in good faith, and we believe there is a reasonable basis for them. However, there can be no assurance that management’s expectations, beliefs and projections will occur or be achieved, and actual results may vary materially from what is expressed in or indicated by the forward-looking statements.

There are a number of risks, uncertainties and other important factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements contained in this Form 10-Q. Such risks, uncertainties and other important factors include, among others, the risks, uncertainties and factors set forth under the heading Item 1A – “Risk Factors” in our Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on February 26, 2018, as such risk factors may be updated from time to time in our periodic filings with the SEC, which are accessible on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. Such risks, uncertainties and other factors include, but are not limited to, the following:

•

the general political, economic and competitive conditions in the markets in which we invest;

•

the level and volatility of prevailing interest rates and credit spreads;

•

adverse changes in the real estate and real estate capital markets;

•

general volatility of the securities markets in which we participate;

•

changes in our business, investment strategies or target assets;

•

difficulty in obtaining financing or raising capital;

•

reductions in the yield on our investments and increases in the cost of our financing;

•

adverse legislative or regulatory developments, including with respect to tax laws;

•

acts of God such as hurricanes, floods, earthquakes, wildfires, mudslides, volcanic eruptions, and other natural disasters, acts of war and/or terrorism and other events that may cause unanticipated and uninsured performance declines and/or losses to us or the owners and operators of the real estate securing our investments;

•

changes in the availability of attractive loan and other investment opportunities, whether they are due to competition, regulation or otherwise;

•

deterioration in the performance of properties securing our investments that may cause deterioration in the performance of our investments and potentially principal losses to us;

•

defaults by borrowers in paying debt service on outstanding indebtedness;

•

the adequacy of collateral securing our investments and declines in the fair value of our investments;

•

adverse developments in the availability of desirable investment opportunities;

•

difficulty in successfully managing our growth, including integrating new assets into our existing systems;

•

the cost of operating our platform, including, but not limited to, the cost of operating a real estate investment platform and the cost of operating as a publicly traded company;

•

the availability of qualified personnel and our relationship with TPG RE Finance Trust Management, L.P. (our “Manager”);

•

conflicts with TPG Global, LLC and its affiliates (“TPG”), including our Manager, the personnel of TPG providing services to us, including our officers, and certain funds managed by TPG;

•

our qualification as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) for U.S. federal income tax purposes and our exclusion from registration under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”); and

•

authoritative U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (or “GAAP”) or policy changes from standard-setting bodies such as the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”), the SEC, the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”), the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) and other authorities that we are subject to, as well as their counterparts in any foreign jurisdictions where we might do business.

There may be other risks, uncertainties or factors that may cause our actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements, including risks, uncertainties, and factors disclosed under the sections entitled “Risk Factors” in our Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 26, 2018 and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in this Form 10-Q. You should evaluate all forward-looking statements made in this Form 10-Q in the context of these risks, uncertainties and other factors.

Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance, or achievements. We caution you that the risks, uncertainties and other factors referenced above may not contain all of the risks, uncertainties and other factors that are important to you. In addition, we cannot assure you that we will realize the results, benefits or developments that we expect or anticipate or, even if substantially realized, that they will result in the consequences or affect us or our business in the way expected. All forward-looking statements in this Form 10-Q apply only as of the date made and are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements included in this Form 10-Q and in other filings we make with the SEC. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements to reflect subsequent events or circumstances, except as required by law.

Except where the context requires otherwise, the terms “Company,” “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to TPG RE Finance Trust, Inc., a Maryland corporation, and its subsidiaries; the term “Manager” refers to our external manager, TPG RE Finance Trust Management, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership; and the term “TPG” refers to TPG Global, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, and its affiliates.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

(1) Business and Organization

TPG RE Finance Trust, Inc. (together with its consolidated subsidiaries, “we”, “us”, “our”, or the “Company”) is a Maryland corporation that was incorporated on October 24, 2014 and commenced operations on December 18, 2014 (“Inception”). We are organized as a holding company and conduct our operations primarily through our various subsidiaries. We conduct our operations as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) for U.S. federal income tax purposes. We generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income taxes on our REIT taxable income to the extent that we annually distribute all of our REIT taxable income to stockholders and maintain our qualification as a REIT. We also operate our business in a manner that permits us to maintain an exclusion from registration under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

The Company’s principal business activity is to directly originate and acquire a diversified portfolio of commercial real estate related assets, consisting primarily of first mortgage loans and senior participation interests in first mortgage loans secured by institutional-quality properties in primary and select secondary markets in the United States, and commercial mortgage-backed securities (“CMBS”). As of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the Company conducted substantially all of its operations through a Delaware limited liability company, TPG RE Finance Trust Holdco, LLC (“Holdco”), and the Company’s other wholly-owned subsidiaries.

(2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The interim consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). The interim consolidated financial statements include the Company’s accounts, consolidated variable interest entities for which the Company is the primary beneficiary, and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires estimates of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements. Actual results could differ from management’s estimates, and such differences could be material. Significant estimates made in the consolidated financial statements include, but are not limited to: impairment; adequacy of provisions for loan losses; and valuation of financial instruments.

Principles of Consolidation

Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 810—Consolidation (“ASC 810”) provides guidance on the identification of a VIE (a variable interest entity for which control is achieved through means other than voting rights) and the determination of which business enterprise, if any, should consolidate the VIE. An entity is considered a VIE if any of the following applies: (1) the equity investors (if any) lack one or more of the essential characteristics of a controlling financial interest; (2) the equity investment at risk is insufficient to finance that entity’s activities without additional subordinated financial support; or (3) the equity investors have voting rights that are not proportionate to their economic interests and the activities of the entity involve or are conducted on behalf of an investor with a disproportionately small voting interest. The Company consolidates VIEs in which it is considered to be the primary beneficiary. The primary beneficiary is defined as the entity having both of the following characteristics: (1) the power to direct the activities that, when taken together, most significantly impact the VIE’s performance; and (2) the obligation to absorb losses and right to receive the returns from the VIE that would be significant to the VIE.

At each reporting date, the Company reconsiders its primary beneficiary conclusion to determine if its obligation to absorb losses of, or its rights to receive benefits from, the VIE could potentially be more than insignificant, and will consolidate or not consolidate accordingly (see Note 5 for details).

Revenue Recognition

Interest income on loans is accrued using the interest method based on the contractual terms of the loan, adjusted for credit impairment, if any. The objective of the interest method is to arrive at periodic interest income including recognition of fees and costs at a constant effective yield. Premiums, discounts, and origination fees are amortized or accreted into interest income over the lives of the loans using the interest method, or on a straight line basis when it approximates the interest method. Extension and modification fees are accreted into income on a straight line basis, when it approximates the interest method, over the related extension or modification period. Exit fees are accreted into income on a straight line basis, when it approximates the interest method, over the lives of the loans to which they relate unless they can be waived by the Company or a co-lender in connection with a loan refinancing. Prepayment penalties from borrowers are recognized as interest income when received. Certain of the Company’s loan investments have in the past and may in the future provide for additional interest based on the borrower’s operating cash flow or appreciation of the underlying collateral. Such amounts are considered contingent interest and are reflected as interest income only upon certainty of collection.

The Company considers a loan to be non-performing and places the loan on non-accrual status when: (1) management determines the borrower is incapable of, or has ceased efforts toward, curing the cause of a default; (2) the loan becomes 90 days delinquent; or (3) the loan experiences a maturity default. Based on the Company’s judgment as to the collectability of principal, a loan on non-accrual status is either accounted for on a cash basis, where interest income is recognized only upon receipt of cash for principal and interest payments, or on a cost-recovery basis, where all cash receipts reduce the loan’s carrying value, and interest income is only recorded when such carrying value has been fully recovered. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, no loans were placed on non-accrual status and no losses or impairments were recorded to our loan portfolio.

Loans Held for Investment

Loans that the Company has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future, or until maturity or repayment, are reported at their outstanding principal balances net of any premiums, discounts, loan origination fees and an allowance for loan losses. Loan origination fees and direct loan origination costs are deferred and recognized in interest income over the estimated life of the loans using the interest method, or on a straight line basis when it approximates the interest method, adjusted for actual prepayments.

The Company evaluates each loan classified as a loan held for investment for impairment on a quarterly basis. Impairment occurs when it is deemed probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan. If the loan is considered to be impaired, an allowance is recorded to reduce the carrying value of the loan to the present value of the expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s contractual effective rate, or the fair value of the collateral securing the impaired loan, less estimated costs to sell such collateral, if recovery of the Company’s investment is expected solely from the sale of such collateral. As part of the quarterly impairment review, we evaluate the risk of each loan and assign a risk rating based on a variety of factors, grouped as follows to include, among other factors: (i) loan and credit structure, including the as-is loan-to-value (“LTV”) and structural features; (ii) quality and stability of real estate value and operating cash flow, including debt yield, property type, dynamics of the geographic, property-type and local market, physical condition, stability of cash flow, leasing velocity and quality and diversity of tenancy; (iii) performance against underwritten business plan; and (iv) quality, experience and financial condition of sponsor, borrower and guarantor(s). Based on a 5-point scale, our loans are rated “1” through “5,” from least risk to greatest risk, respectively, which ratings are defined as follows:

Outperform—Exceeds performance metrics (for example, technical milestones, occupancy, rents, net operating income) included in original or current credit underwriting and business plan;

Meets or Exceeds Expectations—Collateral performance meets or exceeds substantially all performance metrics included in original or current underwriting / business plan;

Satisfactory—Collateral performance meets or is on track to meet underwriting; business plan is met or can reasonably be achieved;

Underperformance—Collateral performance falls short of original underwriting, material differences exist from business plan, or both; technical milestones have been missed; defaults may exist, or may soon occur absent material improvement; and

Risk of Impairment/Default—Collateral performance is significantly worse than underwriting; major variance from business plan; loan covenants or technical milestones have been breached; timely exit from loan via sale or refinancing is questionable.

Since Inception, the Company has not recorded asset-specific loan loss reserves, nor has it recognized any impairments on its loan portfolio. Our determination of asset-specific loan loss reserves, should any such reserves be necessary, relies on material estimates regarding the fair value of loan collateral. Such losses could be caused by various factors, including, but not limited to, unanticipated adverse changes in the economy or events adversely affecting specific assets, borrowers, industries in which our borrowers operate or markets in which our borrowers or their properties are located. Significant judgment is required when evaluating loans for impairment.

The Company’s loans are typically collateralized by real estate, or in the case of mezzanine loans, by a partnership or similar equity interest in an entity that owns real estate. As a result, the Company regularly evaluates on a loan-by-loan basis the extent and impact of any credit deterioration associated with the performance and/or value of the underlying collateral property as well as the financial and operating capability of the borrower/sponsor. The Company also evaluates the financial strength of loan guarantors, if any, and the borrower’s competency in managing and operating the property or properties. In addition, the Company considers the overall economic environment, real estate sector, and geographic sub-market in which the borrower operates. Such impairment analyses are completed and reviewed by asset management personnel and evaluated by senior management, who utilize various data sources, including (i) periodic financial data such as property occupancy, tenant profile, rental rates, operating expenses, the borrower’s exit plan, and capitalization and discount rates, (ii) site inspections, (iii) sales and financing comparables, (iv) current credit spreads for refinancing and (v) other market data.

Commercial Mortgage-Backed Securities

The Company acquires CMBS investments primarily for cash management purposes, and also for investment purposes. The Company designates CMBS investments as available-for-sale on the acquisition date. CMBS investments that are classified as available-for-sale are recorded at fair value in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Additionally, CMBS investments that are not classified as held-to-maturity and which the Company does not hold for the purpose of selling in the near-term, but may dispose of prior to maturity, are also designated as available-for-sale and are carried at fair value. The Company’s recognition of interest income from its CMBS, including its amortization of premium and discount, follows the Company’s revenue recognition policy as described under “Revenue Recognition” above. The Company uses a specific identification method when determining the cost of a security sold and the amount of unrealized gain or loss reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) into earnings. Unrealized losses on securities that, in the judgment of management, are other than temporary are charged against earnings as a loss in the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income. Significant valuation inputs are Level II in the fair value hierarchy as described below under “Fair Value Measurements”.

Portfolio Financing Arrangements

The Company finances certain loan and CMBS investments using secured revolving repurchase agreements, asset-specific financing arrangements (notes payable on the consolidated balance sheets), senior secured credit facilities, and collateralized loan obligations. The related borrowings are recorded as separate liabilities on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. Interest income earned on the investments and interest expense incurred on the related borrowings are reported separately on the Company’s consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income.

In certain instances, the Company creates structural leverage through the co-origination or non-recourse syndication of a senior loan interest to a third party. For all such syndications the Company has completed through September 30, 2018, the Company has transferred 100% of the senior mortgage loan that the Company originated on a non-recourse basis to a third-party lender and has retained as a loan investment a separate mezzanine loan investment secured by a pledge of the equity in the mortgage borrower. With respect to the senior mortgage loan transferred, the Company retains: no control over the mortgage loan; no economic interest in the mortgage loan; and no recourse to the purchaser or the borrower. Consequently, based on these circumstances and because the Company does not have any continuing involvement with the transferred senior mortgage loan, these syndications are accounted for as sales under GAAP and are removed from the Company’s consolidated financial statements at the time of transfer. The Company’s consolidated balance sheets only include the separate mezzanine loan remaining after the transfer, and not the non-consolidated senior loan interest sold or co-originated that the Company transferred.

Fair Value Measurements

The Company follows ASC 820-10, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820-10”), for its holdings of financial instruments. ASC 820-10 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with GAAP and expands disclosure of fair value measurements. ASC 820-10 determines fair value to be the price that would be received for a financial instrument in a current sale, which assumes an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The Company determines the estimated fair value of financial assets and liabilities using the three-tier fair value hierarchy established by GAAP, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. GAAP establishes market-based or observable inputs as the preferred source of values followed by valuation models using management assumptions in the absence of market inputs. The financial instruments recorded at fair value on a recurring basis in the Company’s consolidated financial statements are cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and available-for-sale CMBS investments. The three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value are as follows:

Level I—Valuations based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access.

Level II—Valuations based on quoted prices in markets that are not active or for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly.

Level III—Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement.

For certain financial instruments, the various inputs that management uses to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, the determination of which category within the fair value hierarchy is appropriate for such financial instrument is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the financial instrument. The Company may use valuation techniques consistent with the market and income approaches to measure the fair value of its assets and liabilities. The market approach uses third-party valuations and information obtained from market transactions involving identical or similar assets or liabilities. The income approach uses projections of the future economic benefits of an instrument to determine its fair value, such as in the discounted cash flow methodology. The inputs or methodology used for valuing financial instruments are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in these financial instruments. Transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy are assumed to occur at the end of the reporting period.

Income Taxes

The Company qualifies and has elected to be taxed as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, commencing with its initial taxable year ended December 31, 2014. To the extent that it annually distributes at least 90% of its REIT taxable income to stockholders and complies with various other requirements as a REIT, the Company generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income taxes on its distributed REIT taxable income. If the Company fails to continue to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year and does not qualify for certain statutory relief provisions, the Company will be subject to U.S. federal and state income taxes at regular corporate rates beginning with the year in which it fails to qualify and may be precluded from being able to elect to be treated as a REIT for the Company’s four subsequent taxable years. Even though the Company currently qualifies for taxation as a REIT, the Company may be subject to certain U.S. federal, state, local and foreign taxes on the Company’s income and property and to U.S. federal income and excise taxes on the Company’s undistributed REIT taxable income.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the periods in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the period in which the enactment date occurs. Under ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes (“ASC 740”), a valuation allowance is established when management believes it is more likely than not that a deferred tax asset will not be realized. The Company intends to continue to operate in a manner consistent with, and to continue to meet the requirements to be treated as, a REIT for tax purposes and to distribute all of its REIT taxable income. Accordingly, the Company does not expect to pay corporate level taxes.

Earnings per Common Share

The Company utilizes the two-class method when assessing participating securities to calculate earnings per common share. Basic and diluted earnings per common share is computed by dividing net income attributable to common stockholders (i.e., holders of common stock and Class A common stock), by the weighted-average number of common shares (both common stock and Class A common stock) outstanding during the period. The preferences, rights, voting powers, restrictions, limitations as to dividends and other distributions, qualifications and terms and conditions of redemption of the Class A common stock are identical to the common

stock, except (1) the Class A common stock is not a “margin security” as defined in Regulation U of the Board of Governors of the U.S. Federal Reserve System (and rulings and interpretations thereunder) and may not be listed on a national securities exchange or a national market system and (2) each share of Class A common stock is convertible at any time or from time to time, at the option of the holder, for one fully paid and non-assessable share of common stock. The Class A common stock votes together with the common stock as a single class. Shares of Class A common stock have been issued to, and are owned by, TPG RE Finance Trust Management, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the “Manager”), and certain individuals or entities affiliated with the Manager, and the sale or conversion to common stock by investors of such shares of Class A common stock is subject to certain restrictions.

Diluted earnings per common share is calculated by including the effect of dilutive securities. The Company accounts for unvested share-based payment awards that contain non-forfeitable dividend rights or dividend equivalents (whether paid or unpaid) as participating securities, which are included in the computation of earnings per share pursuant to the two-class method.

Share-Based Compensation

Share-based compensation consists of awards issued by the Company to certain employees of affiliates of our Manager and certain members of our Board of Directors. These share-based awards generally vest in installments over a fixed period of time. Compensation expense is recognized in net income on a straight-line basis over the applicable award vesting period. Forfeitures of share-based awards are recognized as they occur.

Deferred Financing Costs

Deferred financing costs are reflected net of the collateralized loan obligation and secured financing agreements on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. These costs are amortized in interest expense using the interest method or on a straight line basis when it approximates the interest method over the life of the related obligations.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash held in banks or invested in money market funds with original maturities of less than 90 days. The Company deposits its cash and cash equivalents with high credit quality institutions to minimize credit risk exposure. The Company maintains cash accounts at several financial institutions, which are insured up to a maximum of $250,000 per account as of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017. The balances in these accounts may exceed the insured limits.

Restricted Cash

Restricted cash primarily represents deposit proceeds from potential borrowers which may be returned to borrowers, after deducting transaction costs paid by the Company for the benefit of the borrowers, upon the closing of a loan transaction.

Accounts Receivable from Servicer/Trustee

Accounts receivable from Servicer/Trustee represents cash proceeds from loan and CMBS investment activities that have not been remitted to the Company based on contractual procedures previously agreed upon. Amounts are generally held by the Servicer/Trustee for less than 60 days before being remitted to the Company.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASU 2016-13”). ASU 2016-13 significantly changes how entities will measure credit losses for most financial assets and certain other instruments that are not measured at fair value through net income. ASU 2016-13 will replace the “incurred loss” model under existing guidance with an “expected loss” model for instruments measured at amortized cost, and require entities to record allowances for available-for-sale debt securities rather than reduce the carrying amount, as they do today under the other-than-temporary impairment model. Upon adoption, and resulting from this change, the 10 Company expects that it will be required to record a loan loss reserve at origination or acquisition of an individual loan or a loan portfolio. ASU 2016-13 also simplifies the accounting model for purchased credit-impaired debt securities and loans. ASU 2016-13 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 and is to be adopted through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is effective. The Company is currently evaluating the impact ASU 2016-13 will have on its consolidated financial statements.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-07, Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting (“ASU 2018-07”). ASU 2018-07 expands the scope of Topic 718 to include share-based payment transactions for acquiring goods and services from nonemployees. The amendments state that Topic 718 applies to all share-based payment awards. ASU 2018-07 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within that fiscal year. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than an entity’s adoption of ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. On July 1, 2018, the Company adopted these updates for share-based compensation payments made to certain individuals employed by an affiliate of the Manager. The Company’s adoption of the share-based compensation ASU on July 1, 2018 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

(3) Loans Held for Investment

The Company currently originates and acquires first mortgage and mezzanine loans secured by commercial properties. These loans can potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk as measured by various attributes, including the property type collateralizing the loan, loan size, loans to a single sponsor and loans in a single geographic area, among others. The Company’s loans held for investment are accounted for at amortized cost.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, the Company originated 21 loans with a total commitment of approximately $1.9 billion, an initial unpaid principal balance of $1.6 billion, and unfunded commitments at closing of $264.5 million. To fund these loan originations, the Company used cash on hand, its secured revolving repurchase facilities and senior secured credit facilities.

The following tables present an overview of the loan investment portfolio as of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 (dollars in thousands):

	September 30, 2018
Loans Receivable	Outstanding Principal		Unamortized Premium (Discount), Loan Origination Fees, net			Carrying Amount

Allowance for loan losses		—		—			—
Total	$	3,198,116	$	(22,444	)	$	3,175,672

For the nine months ended September 30, 2018, loan portfolio activity was as follows (dollars in thousands):

	Carrying Value
Balance at December 31, 2017	$	3,175,672
Additions during the period:
Loans originated		1,622,084
Additional fundings		207,657

Deductions during the period:
Collection of principal		(860,618	)
Balance at September 30, 2018	$	4,157,653

At September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, there was $0.0 million and $2.0 million of unamortized discount included in loans held for investment at amortized cost on the consolidated balance sheets.

On July 16, 2018, the Company sold its participation interest in a non-core, fixed rate performing loan purchased in December 2014 to a third party for total cash consideration of $2.7 million, including sale costs and fees, recognizing a loss on sale of $0.4 million which is recorded in Other (Loss) Income, net.

The table below summarizes the carrying values and results of the Company’s internal risk rating review performed as of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 (dollars in thousands):

	Carrying Value
Rating	September 30, 2018		December 31, 2017

Totals	$	4,157,653	$	3,175,672
Weighted Average Risk Rating⁽¹⁾		2.8		2.6

(1)	Weighted Average Risk Rating calculated based on unpaid principal balance at period end.

The weighted average risk rating at September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 was 2.8 and 2.6, respectively. During the three months ended September 30, 2018, one loan was moved from the Company’s Category 2 risk rating into its Category 1 risk rating, resulting from asset-level occupancy increases and rents that have exceeded the Company’s underwriting. The Company also moved one loan that was classified in its Category 2 risk rating into its Category 3 risk rating due to slower than anticipated leasing activity. Additionally, the Company moved two loans from its Category 3 risk rating into its Category 2 risk rating as a result of an improvement in the operating performance of the underlying collateral.

At September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, there were no loans on non-accrual status or that were impaired; thus, the Company did not record a reserve for loan loss.

(4) Commercial Mortgage-Backed Securities

During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, the Company purchased for short-term cash management and investment purposes 17 CMBS investments for $138.0 million. The purchased CMBS investments consist of floating rate instruments which, in the aggregate, had a weighted average coupon of 2.9%. No CMBS investments were purchased during the three months ended September 30, 2018. In July 2018, the Company sold 17 CMBS investments for total cash consideration of $133.3 million, including selling costs and fees, recognizing a loss on the sale of $0.1 million, which is recorded in Other (Loss) Income, net.

As of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the Company had four and five CMBS, respectively, designated as available-for-sale securities. Details of the carrying and fair values of the Company’s CMBS portfolio are as follows (dollars in thousands):

	September 30, 2018
	Face Amount		Unamortized Premium (Discount), net			Gross Unrealized Loss			Estimated Fair Value
Investments, at Fair Value
Commercial mortgage-backed securities	$	76,603	$	(40	)	$	(1,149	)	$	75,414

	December 31, 2017
	Face Amount		Unamortized Premium (Discount), net		Gross Unrealized Loss			Estimated Fair Value
Investments, at Fair Value
Commercial mortgage-backed securities	$	85,661	$	268	$	(34	)	$	85,895

CMBS fair values are considered Level II fair value measurements within the fair value hierarchy of ASC 820-10. The CMBS fair values are based upon market, broker, and counterparty or pricing services quotations, which provide valuation estimates, based upon reasonable market order indications. The Company reviews the fair value quotations, which are subject to significant variability based on market conditions, such as interest rates, credit spreads and market liquidity, for reasonableness and consistency.

The Company’s CMBS have a weighted average contractual maturity, based on estimated fair value, of 15.0 years. The amortized cost and estimated fair value of the Company’s available-for-sale CMBS by contractual maturity are shown in the following table (dollars in thousands):

	September 30, 2018
	Amortized Cost		Estimated Fair Value
Maturity Date
After one, within five years	$	37,937	$	38,072
After five years		38,627		37,342
Total investment in commercial mortgage-backed securities, at amortized cost and estimated fair value	$	76,564	$	75,414

	December 31, 2017
	Amortized Cost		Estimated Fair Value
Maturity Date
After one, within five years	$	36,700	$	36,872
After five years		49,229		49,023
Total investment in commercial mortgage-backed securities, at amortized cost and estimated fair value	$	85,929	$	85,895

Certain of the Company’s CMBS investments were in an unrealized loss position as of September 30, 2018. During the preceding 12 months these CMBS investments traded at, or near, their respective carrying values, and interest and principal payments are current. Additionally, as of September 30, 2018, substantially all of the unrealized loss position relates to CMBS investments issued by a government sponsored enterprise. Currently, all of the underlying mortgage loans are performing. No other-than-temporary impairments were recognized through income during the three or nine months ended September 30, 2018 or the year ended December 31, 2017.

(5) Variable Interest Entities and Collateralized Loan Obligations

On February 14, 2018 (the “Closing Date”), the Company entered into a collateralized loan obligation (“TRTX 2018-FL1”) through its wholly-owned subsidiaries TPG Real Estate Finance 2018-FL1 Issuer, Ltd., an exempted company incorporated in the Cayman Islands with limited liability, as issuer (the “Issuer”), and TPG RE Finance Trust 2018-FL1 Co-Issuer, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, as co-issuer (the “Co-Issuer” and together with the Issuer, the “Issuers”). On the Closing Date, the Issuer issued $820.5 million principal amount of notes (the “Notes”). The Co-Issuer co-issued $745.9 million principal amount of investment grade-rated notes which were purchased by third party investors. Concurrently with the issuance of the Notes, the Issuer also issued preferred shares, par value $0.001 per share and with an aggregate liquidation preference and notional amount equal to $1,000 per share (the “Preferred Shares” and, together with the Notes, the “Securities”), to TPG RE Finance Trust 2018-FL1 Retention Holder, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. The Company retained ownership of $186.5 million of the Notes sold and Preferred Shares. Additionally, the Company holds as an investment $5.0 million (principal amount) of TRTX 2018-FL1 Class A Notes.

Proceeds from the issuance of the Securities were used by the Issuers to purchase one commercial real estate whole loan (the “Whole Loan”) and 25 fully-funded pari passu participations (the “Pari Passu Participations,” and, together with the Whole Loan and the Contributed Companion Participation Interests (as defined below), the “Mortgage Assets”) in certain commercial real estate mortgage loans. The Mortgage Assets were purchased by the Issuer from TPG RE Finance Trust CLO Loan Seller, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and an affiliate of the Issuers (the “Seller”). TRTX 2018-FL1 contains a replenishment feature that, subject to certain limitations, allows the Company to contribute companion participation interests (“Contributed Companion Participation Interests”) in loans in which TRTX 2018-FL1 already owns an interest in exchange for cash, which provides additional liquidity to the Company to originate new loan investments as underlying loans repay. For the three months ended September 30, 2018, the Company utilized the replenishment feature once, contributing Contributed Companion Participation Interests of $35.9 million, and receiving net cash proceeds of $10.0 million, after the repayment of $25.9 million of existing borrowings, including accrued interest, secured by the Contributed Companion Participation Interests. For the nine months ended September 30, 2018, the Company utilized the replenishment feature three times, contributing Contributed Companion Participation Interests of $92.8 million, and receiving net cash proceeds of $23.9 million, after the repayment of $68.9 million of existing borrowings, including accrued interest, secured by the Contributed Companion Participation Interests.

The Mortgage Assets represented 22.3% of the aggregate unpaid principal balance of the Company’s loan investment portfolio, and had an aggregate principal balance of approximately $932.4 million, as of September 30, 2018.

In accordance with ASC 810, the Company evaluated the key attributes of the Issuers to determine if they were VIEs and, if so, whether the Company was the primary beneficiary of the Issuers’ operating activities. This analysis caused the Company to conclude that the Issuers were VIEs and that the Company was the primary beneficiary. The Company is the primary beneficiary of the VIEs because it has the ability to control the most significant activities of the Issuers, the obligation to absorb losses, and the right to receive benefits, that could potentially be significant to these entities.

On December 18, 2014, the Company entered into a collateralized loan obligation (“2014-CLO”) through TPG RE Finance Trust CLO Issuer, L.P., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“CLO Issuer”) and on December 29, 2014, the Company acquired from German American Capital Corporation (“GACC”) a portfolio of 75% participation interests in certain loans secured primarily by first mortgages on commercial properties, with a face value of approximately $2.4 billion. To partially fund the investment, on December 18, 2014, the CLO Issuer issued a Class A Note secured by the Company’s 75% participation interests in the portfolio of loans acquired. In accordance with ASC 810, the Company evaluated the key attributes of the CLO Issuer to determine if it was a VIE and, if so, whether the Company was the primary beneficiary of the CLO Issuer’s operating activities. This analysis resulted in the Company concluding that the CLO Issuer was a VIE, that the Company was the primary beneficiary, and that it would consolidate the entity.

On August 16, 2017, the outstanding principal balance of the Class A Note issued by the CLO Issuer was approximately $118.0 million. On August 16, 2017, the CLO Issuer sold to GACC two first mortgage loan participation interests with an aggregate unpaid principal balance of $12.8 million that collateralized the Class A Note in part and recognized in Other income, net a $0.2 million loss on sale. The sales price of the two first mortgage loans was approximately par value. These loans were sold because they were determined to no longer be consistent with the Company’s current investment strategy.

On August 18, 2017, one of the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries purchased from the CLO Issuer seven first mortgage loan participation interests with an aggregate unpaid principal balance of $138.5 million that collateralized the remainder of the Class A Note issued by the CLO Issuer. The first mortgage loan participation interests were sold by the CLO Issuer for approximately par value. On August 23, 2017, proceeds from both transactions were used in combination with approximately $3.0 million of Company cash to retire all amounts outstanding under the Class A Note issued by the CLO Issuer, which totaled $118.0 million, and the 2014-CLO was subsequently terminated.

For the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, $7.7 million and $1.9 million, respectively, is included in the Company’s consolidated statements of income as interest expense related to TRTX 2018-FL1 and 2014-CLO (including amortization of deferred financing costs). For the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, $18.4 million and $11.9 million, respectively, is included in the Company’s consolidated statements of income as interest expense related to TRTX 2018-FL1 and 2014-CLO, respectively (including amortization of deferred financing costs). As of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the Company’s unamortized deferred financing costs related to TRTX 2018-FL1 and 2014-CLO were $5.5 million and $0.0 million, respectively.

Notes Payable

The Company uses note-on-note financing agreements to finance certain of its lending activities. The Company designates these asset-specific financings as notes payable on the consolidated balance sheets. Our ability to draw the undrawn capacity is conditioned upon satisfaction by our borrower of conditions precedent to a funding on the underlying loan pledged as collateral, and by our pro rata funding with equity of the remaining future funding obligation. Amounts designated as undrawn capacity under our asset-specific financings may only be used to satisfy our future funding obligations on the respective underlying pledged loan.

As of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the Company had two and seven note-on-note financing agreements, respectively. These asset-specific financing arrangements allow for additional advances up to a specified cap. As of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the note-on-note financing agreements were secured by two and seven particular loans held for investment, respectively. During the three months ended September 30, 2018, the outstanding borrowings under the asset-specific financing arrangement with Deutsche Bank was repaid. The Company’s notes payable have the following guarantees:

(1)

Deutsche Bank and Bank of the Ozarks: Holdco has provided funding guarantees under which Holdco guarantees the funding obligations of the special purpose lending entity in limited circumstances. In addition, under the Deutsche Bank and Bank of the Ozarks asset-specific financings, Holdco has delivered limited non-recourse carve-out guarantees in favor of the lenders as additional credit support for the financings. These guarantees trigger recourse to Holdco as a result of certain “bad boy” defaults for actual losses incurred by such party, or the entire outstanding obligations of the financing borrower, depending on the nature of the “bad boy” default in question; and

(2)

BMO Harris: Holdco has delivered a payment guarantee in favor of the lender as additional credit support for the financing. The liability of Holdco under this guarantee is generally capped at 25% of the outstanding obligations of the special purpose subsidiary which is the primary obligor under the financing. In addition, Holdco has delivered a non-recourse carveout guarantee, which can trigger recourse to Holdco as a result of certain “bad boy” defaults for losses incurred by BMO Harris or the entire outstanding obligations of the financing borrower, depending on the nature of the “bad boy” default in question.

All notes payable at September 30, 2018 are guaranteed by Holdco, and the agreements include guarantor covenants regarding liquid assets and net worth requirements. One of these loans at September 30, 2018 is 25% recourse to Holdco. The Company believes it was in compliance with all covenants as of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017.

Secured Revolving Repurchase Agreements

The Company utilizes secured revolving repurchase agreements to finance the direct origination or acquisition of commercial real estate mortgage loans and CMBS. Under these secured revolving repurchase agreements, the Company transfers all of its rights, title and interest in the loans or CMBS to the repurchase counterparty in exchange for cash, and simultaneously agrees to reacquire the asset at a future date for an amount equal to the cash exchanged plus an interest factor. The repurchase counterparty collects all principal and interest on related loans or CMBS and remits to the Company only the net after collecting its interest and other fees. The loan and CMBS investment related secured revolving repurchase agreements are 25% and 100% recourse to Holdco, respectively.

At September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the Company had five secured revolving repurchase agreements to finance its loan investing activities. Credit spreads vary depending upon the collateral type and advance rate. Assets pledged at September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 consisted of 54 and 48 mortgage loans, respectively. During the three months ended September 30, 2018, the Company amended its Goldman Sachs Bank USA and JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association secured revolving repurchase facilities, extending the maturity dates to August 19, 2019 and August 20, 2021, respectively.

Senior Secured Credit Facilities

On July 12, 2018, the Company entered into a credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”), as borrower, with Citibank, N.A. as administrative agent and lender, and Citigroup Global Markets Inc. as sole lead arranger and sole lead book running manager. The Credit Agreement governs a secured revolving credit facility with aggregate secured borrowing capacity of up to $160.0 million, subject to borrowing base availability and certain other conditions, which the Company occasionally uses to finance originations or acquisitions of eligible loans on an interim basis until permanent financing is arranged. The Credit Agreement has an initial maturity date of July 12, 2020, and borrowings bear interest at an interest rate per annum equal to one-month LIBOR or the applicable base rate plus a margin of 2.25%. The initial advance rate on borrowings under the Credit Agreement with respect to individual pledged assets is 70%, and declines over a 90-day period, after which borrowings against that respective asset must be repaid.

On September 29, 2017, the Company and Bank of America N.A. entered into a senior secured credit facility agreement that had a maximum facility amount of $250 million, which could increase from time to time, up to $500 million, at the Company’s request and agreement by the lender. The Company previously exercised its accordion feature to increase the maximum facility amount to $500 million. The current extended maturity of this facility is September 29, 2022. The following table details the senior secured credit facilities as of September 30, 2018 (dollars in thousands):

(8) Fair Value Measurements

The Company’s consolidated balance sheet includes Level I fair value measurements related to cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, and accrued liabilities. At September 30, 2018, the Company had $42.5 million invested in money market funds with original maturities of less than 90 days. The carrying values of these financial assets and liabilities are reasonable estimates of fair value because of the short-term maturities of these instruments. The consolidated balance sheet also includes Loans Held for Investment, the assets and liabilities of TRTX 2018-FL1 (collateralized loan obligation (as of September 30, 2018)), and secured financing arrangements that are considered Level III fair value measurements that are not measured at fair value on a recurring basis, but are subject to fair value adjustments utilizing the fair value of the underlying collateral when there is evidence of impairment. The Company did not have any non-recurring fair value items as of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017.

The following tables provide information about financial assets and liabilities not carried at fair value on a recurring basis in our consolidated balance sheet (dollars in thousands):

	September 30, 2018
	Carrying Value		Level I		Level II		Level III
Financial Assets
Loans Held for Investment	$	4,157,653	$	—	$	—	$	4,187,202
Financial Liabilities
CLO (TRTX 2018-FL1)		735,415		—		—		735,415
Secured Financing Arrangements		2,187,950		—		—		2,187,950

	December 31, 2017
	Carrying Value		Level I		Level II		Level III

Loans Held for Investment	$	3,175,672	$	—	$	—	$	3,202,150
Financial Liabilities
Secured Financing Arrangements		2,114,990		—		—		2,114,990

Level III fair values were determined based on standardized valuation models and significant unobservable market inputs, including holding period, discount rates based on loan to value, property type and loan pricing expectations developed by the Manager that were corroborated with other institutional lenders to determine a market spread that was added to the one-month LIBOR forward curve. There were no transfers of financial assets or liabilities within the fair value hierarchy during the three months ended September 30, 2018 or year ended December 31, 2017.

At September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the estimated fair value of Loans Held for Investment was $4.2 billion and $3.2 billion, respectively. The weighted average gross spread at September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 was 4.2% and 4.8%, respectively. The weighted average years to maturity at September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 was 3.8 years and 3.6 years, respectively, assuming full extension of all loans.

At September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the carrying value of the secured financing agreements approximates fair value as current borrowing spreads reflect market terms. At September 30, 2018, the carrying value of the assets and liabilities of TRTX 2018-FL1 approximates fair value as current borrowing spreads reflect market terms.

(9) Income Taxes

As of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the Company indirectly owned 100% of the equity of multiple taxable REIT subsidiaries, including certain of its TRTX 2018-FL1 subsidiaries (the “TRSs”). As a result, the TRSs had operating activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2018.

The TRSs are subject to applicable U.S. federal, state, local and foreign income tax on their taxable income. In addition, as a REIT, the Company also may be subject to a 100% excise tax on certain transactions between it and its TRSs that are not conducted on an arm’s-length basis. The Company files income tax returns in the United States as well as various state and local jurisdictions. The filings are subject to normal reviews by regulatory agencies until the related statute of limitations expires, with open tax years for all years since the Company’s initial capitalization in 2014. The years open to examination range from 2014 to present.

ASC 740 also prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. ASC 740 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. The Company has analyzed its various federal and state filing positions and believes that its income tax filing positions and deductions are well documented and supported. As of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, based on the Company’s evaluation, there is no reserve for any uncertain income tax positions.

The Company’s policy is to classify interest and penalties associated with underpayment of U.S. federal and state income taxes, if any, as a component of general and administrative expense on its consolidated statements of income. For the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and September 30, 2017, the Company did not have interest or penalties associated with the underpayment of any income taxes.

For the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, the Company incurred no federal, state and local tax expense relating to its TRSs. For the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, the Company incurred $0.2 million and $0.1 million, respectively, of federal, state and local tax expense relating to its TRSs. At September 30, 2018 and 2017, the Company’s effective tax rate was 0.26% and 0.20%, respectively.

At September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the Company had no deferred tax assets or liabilities.

Management Agreements

Post-IPO Management Agreement

The Company is externally managed and advised by the Manager. During the year ended December 31, 2017, upon the completion of the Company’s initial public offering on July 25, 2017, the pre-IPO Management Agreement (as defined below) terminated without payment of any termination fee to the Manager, and the Company entered into a new management agreement with the Manager (the “Management Agreement”). On May 2, 2018, the Company and the Manager amended the Management Agreement solely for the purpose of amending the definitions of “Equity,” “Core Earnings” and “Incentive Compensation” in the Management Agreement. The changes were effected to include equity issued by subsidiaries of the Company in the definition of Equity, and to exclude distributions on equity issued by subsidiaries from the calculation of the Manager’s Incentive Compensation. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, the management fee and incentive management fee were calculated under the Management Agreement.

Pursuant to the Management Agreement, the Company pays the Manager a base management fee equal to the greater of $250,000 per annum ($62,500 per quarter) and 1.50% per annum (0.375% per quarter) of the Company’s “Equity.” The base management fee is payable in cash, quarterly in arrears. As amended, “Equity” means (a) the sum of (1) the net proceeds received by the Company and, without duplication, the Company’s subsidiaries, from all issuances of the Company’s and the subsidiaries’ equity securities, including for the avoidance of doubt issuances of common stock and Class A common stock by the Company prior to the completion of the Company’s initial public offering (for purposes of calculating this amount, the net proceeds received by the Company from all issuances of the Company’s outstanding common stock and Class A common stock prior to the completion of the Company’s initial public offering equals approximately $1.0 billion), plus (2) the value of contributions, including, without limitation, contributions of assets or interests in assets in exchange for equity securities, made by persons other than the Company or a subsidiary of the Company, from time to time, to the capital of the Company or another subsidiary of the Company plus (3) the Company’s cumulative Core Earnings for the period commencing on the completion of the Company’s initial public offering to the end of the most recently completed calendar quarter, and (b) less (1) any distributions made by the Company to the holders of the Company’s equity securities and any distributions made by the Company’s subsidiaries to the holders of the subsidiaries’ equity securities (other than to the Company or another subsidiary of the Company) following the completion of the Company’s initial public offering, (2) any amount that the Company or any of the Company’s subsidiaries has paid to repurchase for cash the Company’s common stock or Class A common stock following the completion of the Company’s initial public offering and (3) any Incentive Compensation earned by the Manager following the completion of the Company’s initial public offering. With respect to that portion of the period from and after the completion of the Company’s initial public offering that is used in the calculation of Incentive Compensation or the base management fee, all items in the foregoing sentence (other than the Company’s cumulative Core Earnings) will be calculated on a daily weighted average basis.

The Manager is entitled to incentive compensation which is calculated and payable in cash with respect to each calendar quarter following the completion of the Company’s initial public offering (or part thereof that the Management Agreement is in effect) in arrears in an amount, not less than zero, equal to the difference between: (1) the product of (a) 20% and (b) the difference between (i) the Company’s Core Earnings for the most recent 12-month period (or such lesser number of completed calendar quarters, if applicable), including the calendar quarter (or part thereof) for which the calculation of incentive compensation is being made (the “applicable period”), and (ii) the product of (A) the Company’s Equity in the most recent 12-month period (or such lesser number of completed calendar quarters, if applicable), including the applicable period, and (B) 7% per annum; and (2) the sum of any incentive compensation paid to the Manager with respect to the first three calendar quarters of the most recent 12-month period (or such lesser number of completed calendar quarters preceding the applicable period, if applicable). No incentive compensation is payable to the Manager with respect to any calendar quarter unless Core Earnings for the 12 most recently completed calendar quarters (or such lesser number of completed calendar quarters following the completion of the Company’s initial public offering) is greater than zero. For purposes of calculating the Manager’s incentive compensation, the Management Agreement, as amended, specifies that equity securities of the Company or any of the Company’s subsidiaries that are entitled to a specified periodic distribution or have other debt characteristics will not constitute equity securities and will not be included in “Equity” for the purpose of calculating incentive compensation. Instead, the aggregate distribution amount that accrues to such equity securities during the calendar quarter of such calculation will be subtracted from Core Earnings, before incentive compensation for purposes of calculating incentive compensation, unless such distribution is otherwise excluded from Core Earnings.

As amended, “Core Earnings” means the net income (loss) attributable to the holders of the Company’s common stock and Class A common stock and, without duplication, the holders of the Company’s subsidiaries’ equity securities (other than the Company or any of the Company’s subsidiaries), computed in accordance with GAAP, including realized gains and losses not otherwise included in net income (loss), and excluding (i) non-cash equity compensation expense, (ii) the Incentive Compensation, (iii) depreciation and amortization, (iv) any unrealized gains or losses or other similar non-cash items that are included in net income for the applicable period, regardless of whether such items are included in other comprehensive income or loss or in net income and (v) one-time events pursuant to changes in GAAP and certain material non-cash income or expense items, in each case after discussions between the Manager and the Company’s independent directors and approved by a majority of the Company’s independent directors.

The Company is required to reimburse the Manager or its affiliates for documented costs and expenses incurred by it and its affiliates on the Company’s behalf except those specifically required to be borne by the Manager or its affiliates under the Management Agreement. The Company’s reimbursement obligation is not subject to any dollar limitation. The Manager or its affiliates is responsible for, and the Company will not reimburse the Manager or its affiliates for, the expenses related to the personnel of the Manager and its affiliates who provide services to the Company. However, the Company will reimburse the Manager for the Company’s allocable share of the compensation (including, without limitation, annual base salary, bonus, any related withholding taxes and employee benefits) paid to (1) the Manager’s personnel serving as the Company’s chief financial officer based on the percentage of his or her time spent managing the Company’s affairs and (2) other corporate finance, tax, accounting, internal audit, legal risk management, operations, compliance and other non-investment personnel of the Manager or its affiliates who spend all or a portion of their time managing the Company’s affairs, based on the percentage of time devoted by such personnel to the Company’s and the Company’s subsidiaries’ affairs.

Pre-IPO Management Agreement

Through July 24, 2017, the Company paid the Manager a management fee in accordance with the management agreement which was executed on December 15, 2014 (the “pre-IPO Management Agreement”). For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, the management fee and incentive management fee were calculated under both the pre-IPO and post-IPO Management Agreements. Under the pre-IPO Management Agreement, the management fee was equal to 1.25% of the Company’s stockholders’ equity per annum, and was calculated and payable quarterly in arrears. For purposes of calculating the management fee under the pre-IPO Management Agreement, stockholders’ equity meant: (i) the sum of (A) the net proceeds received by the Company from all issuances of the Company’s common stock, plus (B) the Company’s cumulative Core Earnings from and after the date of the pre-IPO Management Agreement to the end of the most recently completed calendar quarter, (ii) less (A) any distributions to the Company’s stockholders from and after the date of the pre-IPO Management Agreement, (B) any amount that the Company or any of its subsidiaries had paid to repurchase the Company’s common stock since the date of the pre-IPO Management Agreement, and (C) any incentive management fee paid from and after the date of the pre-IPO Management Agreement. With respect to that portion of the period from and after the date of the pre-IPO Management Agreement that was used in any calculation of the incentive management fee or the management fee, all items in the foregoing sentence (other than clause (i) (B)) were calculated on a daily weighted average basis.

In addition, pursuant to the pre-IPO Management Agreement, the Manager was entitled to an incentive management fee each calendar quarter in arrears in an amount, not less than zero, equal to (I) the product of (i) 16% and (ii) the positive sum, if any, remaining after (A) Core Earnings of the Company for the previous 12 month period were reduced by (B) the product of (1) the average of the Company’s stockholders’ equity as of the end of each calendar quarter during such previous 12 month period, and (2) 7% per annum, minus (II) the sum of any incentive management fee paid to the Manager with respect to the first three calendar quarters of such previous 12 month period; provided, however, that no incentive management fee was payable with respect to any calendar quarter unless Core Earnings for the 12 most recently completed calendar quarters in the aggregate was greater than zero.

2014-CLO Collateral Management Fee

The Manager also served as Collateral Manager for the 2014-CLO under a collateral management agreement (the “Collateral Management Agreement”). The collateral management fee was equal to 0.075% per annum of the aggregate par amount of the loans in the 2014-CLO, and was calculated and payable monthly in arrears in cash. Pursuant to an arrangement that the Company had with the Manager prior to the Company’s initial public offering, the Company was entitled to reduce the base management fee payable to the Manager under the pre-IPO Management Agreement by an amount equal to the collateral management fee the Manager was entitled to receive for acting as the collateral manager for the 2014-CLO. After the completion of the initial public offering and prior to the termination of the 2014-CLO, the Manager was entitled to earn a collateral management fee for acting as the collateral manager for the 2014-CLO without any reduction or offset right to the base management fee payable to the Manager under the Management Agreement. As of September 30, 2017, the aggregate par amount of the loans in the 2014-CLO was $181.1 million.

Management Fees Incurred and Paid for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 and September 30, 2017

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, the Company incurred and paid the following management fees, incentive management fees, and collateral management fees related to its pre-IPO and Post-IPO Management Agreements and the 2014-CLO Collateral Management Agreement (dollars in thousands):

Management fees, incentive management fees, and collateral management fees included in payable to affiliates on the consolidated balance sheets at September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 are $6.0 million and $5.2 million, respectively.

The Company is responsible for reimbursing the Manager for certain expenses paid by the Manager on behalf of the Company or for certain services provided by the Manager to the Company. Expenses incurred by the Manager and reimbursed by the Company are reflected in the respective consolidated statements of income expense category or the consolidated balance sheets based on the nature of the item. For the three months ended September 30, 2018, the Manager incurred $0.3 million of expenses that were reimbursable by the Company. During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, the Manager incurred a total of $0.9 million of expenses that were reimbursable by the Company. As of September 30, 2018, $0.6 million remained outstanding and was reimbursable by the Company to the Manager. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, $1.0 million was incurred by the Manager and reimbursable by the Company.

Termination Fee

A termination fee will be payable to the Manager upon termination of the Management Agreement by the Company absent a cause event. The termination fee would also be payable to the Manager upon termination of the Management Agreement by the Manager if the Company materially breaches the Management Agreement. The termination fee is equal to three times the sum of (x) the average annual base management fee and (y) the average annual incentive compensation earned by the Manager, in each case during the 24-month period immediately preceding the most recently completed calendar quarter prior to the date of termination or, if such termination occurs prior to July 25, 2019, and such termination fee is payable, the base management fees and the incentive compensation will be annualized for the period from July 25, 2017 to July 25, 2019 based on such fees actually received by the Manager during such period.

(11) Earnings per Share

The Company calculates its basic and diluted earnings per share using the two-class method for all periods presented, as the unvested restricted shares of its common stock granted to certain employees and affiliates of the Manager, qualify as participating securities. These restricted shares have the same rights as the Company’s other shares of common stock and Class A common stock, including participating in any dividends, and therefore have been included in the Company’s basic and diluted earnings per share calculation. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, $0.0 million and $0.1 million, respectively of common stock dividends declared and undistributed net income attributable to common stockholders were allocated to unvested shares of our common stock pursuant to stock grants made under the Company’s Incentive Plan (see Note 13 for details). For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, there were no common stock dividends declared or undistributed net income attributable to common stockholders were allocated to unvested shares of our common stock.

At September 30, 2018, all share and per share data reflect the impact of the common stock and Class A common stock dividend which was paid upon completion of the Company’s initial public offering on July 25, 2017 to holders of record as of July 3, 2017. The following table sets forth the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per common share (common stock and Class A common stock) based on the weighted-average number of shares of common stock and Class A common stock outstanding (in thousands, except share and per share data):

(12) Stockholders’ Equity

Common Stock Issuance

On August 10, 2018, the Company completed a common stock offering of 7 million shares at a price of $19.82 per share generating gross proceeds of $138.7 million. The Company intends to use the proceeds from the offering to originate or acquire commercial mortgage loans consistent with its investment strategy and investment guidelines. The Manager reimbursed offering costs of $0.7 million.

The shares were sold pursuant to the Company’s effective shelf registration statement on Form S-3ASR (File No. 333-226642) and the related prospectus dated August 7, 2018, as supplemented by a prospectus supplement dated August 7, 2018.

Stock Dividend

On July 3, 2017, we declared a stock dividend that resulted in the issuance of 9,224,268 shares of our common stock and 230,815 shares of our Class A common stock upon the completion of our initial public offering. The stock dividend was paid on July 25, 2017 to holders of record of our common stock and Class A common stock as of July 3, 2017. All prior periods have been restated to give effect to the impact of these transactions on our common and Class A common stock issued, shares outstanding, per share calculations, and basic and diluted weighted average number of common shares outstanding.

10b5-1 Purchase Plan

The Company entered into an agreement and related amendments (the “10b5-1 Purchase Plan”) with Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC, as our agent, to buy in the open market up to $35.0 million in shares of our common stock in the aggregate during the period beginning on or about August 21, 2017 and ending 12 months thereafter or, if sooner, the date on which all the capital committed has been exhausted. On August 1, 2018, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized the Company to extend the repurchase period for the remaining capital committed to the 10b5-1 Purchase Plan. No other changes to the terms of the 10b5-1 Purchase Plan were authorized. Under the amended 10b5-1 Purchase Plan, the repurchase period was extended to February 28, 2019 or, if sooner, the date on which all the capital committed to the 10b5-1 Purchase Plan has been exhausted.

The 10b5-1 Purchase Plan requires Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC to purchase for us shares of our common stock when the market price per share is below the threshold price specified in the 10b5-1 Purchase Plan which is based on our book value per common share. No shares were repurchased by the Company during the three months ended September 30, 2018. During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, the Company repurchased 0.4 million shares of common stock, at a weighted average price of $18.83 per share, for total consideration (including commissions and related fees) of $8.4 million.

Through September 30, 2018, the Company has purchased 1.2 million shares of common stock, at a weighted average price of $19.28 per share, for total consideration (including commissions and related fees) of $22.5 million. At September 30, 2018, the Company’s remaining commitment under the 10b5-1 Purchase Plan is $12.5 million.

Dividends

Prior to the completion of the Company’s initial public offering, dividends were accrued at the time of approval by the Special Actions Committee (the “Committee”), a standing committee comprised of directors who are employed by TPG Global, LLC or an affiliate thereof. Subsequent to the completion of the Company’s initial public offering, dividends are accrued at the time of approval by the Company’s Board of Directors. Upon the approval of the Committee, or the Company’s Board of Directors, as applicable, dividends are paid first to the holders of the Company’s Series A preferred stock at the rate of 12.5% of the total $0.001 million liquidation preference per annum plus all accumulated and unpaid dividends thereon, and second to the holders of the Company’s common stock and Class A common stock. The Company’s Series A preferred stock was redeemed on February 28, 2018 for $0.1 million. The Company intends to distribute each year substantially all of its taxable income to its stockholders to comply with the REIT provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

On September 18, 2018, the Company’s Board of Directors declared a dividend for the third quarter of 2018 in the amount of $0.43 per share of common stock and Class A common stock, or $28.9 million in the aggregate, which dividend was payable on October 25, 2018 to holders of record of our common stock and Class A common stock as of September 28, 2018. On September 26, 2017, the Company declared a dividend associated with the third quarter of 2017 in the amount of $0.33 per share of common stock and Class A common stock, or $20.1 million in the aggregate, which was paid on October 26, 2017.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, common stock and Class A common stock dividends in the amount of $80.1 million and $61.9 million were declared and approved, respectively. As of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, $28.9 million and $23.1 million, respectively, remain unpaid and are reflected in dividends payable on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.

Other Comprehensive (Loss) Income

For the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, other comprehensive (loss) income was $0.5 million and $(2.6) million, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, other comprehensive (loss) income was $(1.1) million and $(1.3) million, respectively. Other comprehensive (loss) income is a result of unrealized (losses) gains on CMBS available-for-sale.

(13) Share-based Incentive Plan

The Company does not have any employees as it is externally managed by the Manager. However, as of September 30, 2018, certain individuals employed by an affiliate of the Manager and certain members of the Company’s Board of Directors were compensated, in part, through the issuance of share-based instruments.

The Company’s Board of Directors has adopted, and the Company’s stockholders have approved, the TPG RE Finance Trust, Inc. 2017 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Incentive Plan”). The Incentive Plan provides for the grant of equity-based awards to the Company’s, and its affiliates’, directors, officers, employees (if any) and consultants, and the members, officers, directors, employees and consultants of the Manager or its affiliates, as well as to the Manager and other entities that provide services to the Company and its affiliates and the employees of such entities. The total number of shares of common stock or long term incentive plan (“LTIP”) units that may be awarded under the Incentive Plan is 4,600,463, or 7.5% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock after completion of the Company’s common and Class A common stock dividend, initial public offering and the issuance of shares in connection with the partial exercise of the option to purchase additional shares related to the initial public offering. The Incentive Plan will automatically expire on the tenth anniversary of its effective date, unless terminated earlier by the Company’s Board of Directors. No equity grants were awarded in conjunction with the Company’s initial public offering.

The shares generally vest in installments over a three-year period, pursuant to the terms of the award and the Incentive Plan. As of September 30, 2018, there were 63,919 shares of common stock outstanding and total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested share-based compensation arrangements of $1.1 million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.6 years from September 30, 2018. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, the Company recognized $0.1 million and $0.5 million, respectively, of share-based compensation expense as general and administrative expense in the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income.

(14) Commitments and Contingencies

Unfunded Commitments

As of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the Company had $527.1 million and $529.0 million, respectively, of unfunded commitments related to loans held for investment. These commitments are not reflected on the consolidated balance sheets.

Litigation

From time to time, the Company may be involved in various claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. The Company establishes an accrued liability for loss contingencies when a settlement arising from a legal proceeding is both probable and reasonably estimable. If a legal matter is not probable and reasonably estimable, no such liability is recorded. Examples of this include (i) early stages of a legal proceeding, (ii) damages that are unspecified or cannot be determined, (iii) discovery has not started or is incomplete or (iv) there is uncertainty as to the outcome of pending appeals or motions. If these items exist, an estimated range of potential loss cannot be determined and as such the Company does not record an accrued liability.

As of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the Company was not involved in any material legal proceedings and has not recorded an accrued liability for loss contingencies.

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

References herein to “TPG RE Finance Trust,” “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our” refer to TPG RE Finance Trust, Inc. and its subsidiaries unless the context specially requires otherwise.

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the unaudited and audited consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q and in our Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 26, 2018. In addition to historical data, this discussion contains forward-looking statements about our business, results of operations, cash flows, and financial condition based on current expectations that involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. See “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements”. Our actual results may differ materially from those in this discussion as a result of various factors, including but not limited to those discussed under the heading Item 1A – “Risk Factors” in our Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 26, 2018.

Overview

We are a commercial real estate finance company externally managed by TPG RE Finance Trust Management, L.P. and sponsored by TPG. We directly originate, acquire and manage commercial mortgage loans and other commercial real estate-related investments in North America for our balance sheet. Our objective is to provide attractive risk-adjusted returns to our stockholders over time through cash distributions and capital appreciation. To meet our objective, we focus primarily on directly originating and selectively acquiring floating rate first mortgage loans that are secured by high quality commercial real estate properties undergoing some form of transition and value creation, such as retenanting, refurbishment or other form of repositioning. The collateral underlying our loans is located in primary and select secondary markets in the U.S. that we believe have attractive economic conditions and commercial real estate fundamentals.

As of September 30, 2018, our portfolio consisted of 62 first mortgage loans (or interests therein) with an aggregate unpaid principal balance of $4.2 billion, a weighted average credit spread of 4.2%, a weighted average all-in yield of 6.6%, a weighted average term to extended maturity (assuming all extension options have been exercised by borrowers) of 3.8 years, and a weighted average LTV of 63.4%. As of September 30, 2018, 100.0% of the loan commitments in our portfolio consisted of floating rate, first mortgage loans. We also had $527.1 million of unfunded loan commitments as of September 30, 2018, our funding of which is subject to borrower satisfaction of certain milestones. In addition, as of September 30, 2018, we held for cash management and short-term investment purposes four CMBS investments, with an aggregate face amount of $76.6 million and a weighted average coupon of 3.4%.

We currently operate our business as one segment which directly originates and acquires commercial mortgage loans and other commercial real estate-related debt instruments. We have made an election to be taxed as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes, commencing with our initial taxable year ended December 31, 2014. We have been organized and have operated in conformity with the requirements for qualification and taxation as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and we believe that our organization and current and intended manner of operation will enable us to continue to meet the requirements for qualification and taxation as a REIT. As a REIT, we generally are not subject to U.S. federal income tax on our REIT taxable income that we distribute currently to our stockholders. We operate our business in a manner that permits us to maintain an exclusion or exemption from registration under the Investment Company Act.

Our Manager

We are externally managed by our Manager, TPG RE Finance Trust Management, L.P., an affiliate of TPG. TPG manages investments across multiple asset classes, including private equity, real estate, energy, infrastructure, credit and hedge funds. Our Manager manages our investments and our day-to-day business and affairs in conformity with our investment guidelines and other policies that are approved and monitored by our board of directors. Our Manager is responsible for, among other matters, (A) the selection, origination or purchase and sale of our portfolio investments, (B) our financing activities and (C) providing us with investment advisory services. Our Manager is also responsible for our day-to-day operations and performs (or causes to be performed) such services and activities relating to our investments and business and affairs as may be appropriate. Our investment decisions are approved by an investment committee of our Manager that is comprised of senior investment professionals of TPG, including a senior investment professional of TPG's real estate equity group. For a summary of certain terms of the management agreement between us and our Manager (the “Management Agreement”), see Note 10 to our Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Form 10-Q.

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, dividends declared per share, Core Earnings, and book value per share. For the three months ended September 30, 2018, we recorded earnings and Core Earnings per diluted common share of $0.42, a decrease of $0.02 from the quarter ended June 30, 2018, primarily due to the issuance of 7 million common shares completed on August 10, 2018. Our book value per common share as of September 30, 2018 was $19.78, a $0.02 decline from June 30, 2018. For the three months ended September 30, 2018, we declared a cash dividend of $0.43 per share. As further described below, Core Earnings is a measure that is not prepared in accordance with GAAP. We use Core 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 activity and operations.

Earnings Per Common Share and Dividends Declared Per Common Share

The following table sets forth the calculation of basic and diluted net income per share and dividends declared per share (in thousands, except share and per share data):

	Three Months Ended

Dividends Declared per Common Share	$	0.43	$	0.43

(1)	Represents net income attributable to holders of our common stock and Class A common stock.

(2)	Weighted average number of shares outstanding includes common stock and Class A common stock.

Core Earnings

We use Core Earnings to evaluate our performance excluding the effects of certain transactions and GAAP adjustments we believe are not necessarily indicative of our current loan activity and operations. Core Earnings is a non-GAAP measure, which we define as GAAP net income (loss) attributable to our stockholders, including realized gains and losses not otherwise included in GAAP net income (loss), and excluding (i) non-cash equity compensation expense, (ii) depreciation and amortization, (iii) unrealized gains (losses), and (iv) certain non-cash items. Core Earnings may also be adjusted from time to time to exclude one-time events pursuant to changes in GAAP and certain other non-cash charges as determined by our Manager, subject to approval by a majority of our independent directors. The exclusion of depreciation and amortization from the calculation of Core Earnings only applies to debt investments related to real estate to the extent we foreclose upon the property or properties underlying such debt investments.

We believe that Core Earnings provides meaningful information to consider in addition to our net income and cash flow from operating activities determined in accordance with GAAP. Although pursuant to the Management Agreement we calculate the incentive and base management fees due to our Manager using Core Earnings before incentive fee expense, we report Core Earnings after incentive fee expense, because we believe this is a more meaningful presentation of the economic performance of our common and Class A common stock.

Core Earnings does not represent net income or cash generated from operating activities and should not be considered as an alternative to GAAP net income, 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 Core Earnings may differ from the methodologies employed by other companies to calculate the same or similar supplemental performance measures, and accordingly, our reported Core Earnings may not be comparable to the Core Earnings reported by other companies.

For additional information on the fees we pay our Manager, see Note 10 to our Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Form 10-Q.

•

Net income attributable to common stockholders and Core Earnings of $0.42 per share, a 5.5% decrease from the three months ended June 30, 2018, primarily due to an increase in weighted average number of common shares outstanding resulting from our issuance of 7 million shares of common stock in an underwritten public offering completed on August 10, 2018.

•

Reported Core Earnings of $26.9 million, a 1.1% increase from the three months ended June 30, 2018, primarily due to loan origination growth.

•

Declared dividends of $28.9 million, or $0.43 per share, representing an annualized dividend yield of 8.7% on a book value per common share of $19.78 as of September 30, 2018.

Investment Activity:

•

Originated seven loans with a total commitment of $709.5 million, an initial unpaid principal balance of $585.9 million, unfunded commitments at closing of $123.6 million, and a weighted average interest rate of LIBOR plus 4.03%.

•

Received total cash proceeds of $289.8 million from loan principal repayments, consisting of $258.0 million and $31.8 million of full and partial principal repayments, respectively.

Liquidity and Portfolio Financing:

•

At September 30, 2018, we had unrestricted cash of $46.2 million, a portion of which is subject to certain liquidity covenants, and CMBS investments with an aggregate face amount of $76.6 million available for sale.

•

At September 30, 2018, we had undrawn capacity (liquidity available to us without the need to pledge more collateral to our lenders) of $265.5 million under secured revolving repurchase and senior secured credit facilities with eight lenders and two asset-specific financings for mortgage loan investments:

•

$258.2 million of undrawn capacity in connection with our secured revolving repurchase and senior secured credit facilities with a maximum facility commitment of $3.3 billion and a weighted average interest rate of LIBOR plus 2.0%, with mark-to-market provisions limited to asset and market specific events, and a weighted average term to extended maturity of 3.2 years (assuming we have exercised all extension options and term out provisions).

•

$7.3 million of undrawn capacity in connection with asset-specific financings with a maximum commitment amount of $108.7 million at a weighted average interest rate of LIBOR plus 3.9% and a weighted average term to extended maturity of 3.1 years (assuming we have exercised all extension options and term-out provisions).

•

At September 30, 2018, we had $1.4 billion of financing capacity under secured revolving repurchase and senior secured credit facilities provided by eight lenders for loan and CMBS investments. Our ability to draw on this capacity is dependent upon our lenders’ willingness to accept as collateral loans or CMBS we pledge to them to secure additional borrowings.

•

$1.2 billion of financing capacity is available under our secured revolving repurchase and senior secured credit facilities for loan originations and acquisitions, with a maximum facility commitment of $3.3 billion and credit spreads based upon the LTV and other risk characteristics of collateral pledged, which together provide stable financing with mark-to-market provisions generally limited to asset and market specific events, and a weighted average term to extended maturity of 3.2 years (assuming we have exercised all extension options and term-out provisions and have obtained the consent of our lenders).

•

$165.2 million of financing capacity is available for CMBS investments, with a maximum facility commitment of $200.0 million, credit spreads based upon the haircut and other risk characteristics of the collateral pledged and a weighted average term to maturity of 0.2 years. These facilities are 100% recourse to Holdco.

•

At September 30, 2018, we had a $932.4 million collateralized loan obligation, related to 22.3% of our mortgage loan portfolio, which bears interest at LIBOR plus 1.08%, and contains a replenishment feature that, subject to certain limitations, allows us to contribute to the collateralized loan obligation companion participation interests in loans in which TRTX 2018-FL1 already owns an interest in exchange for cash, which provides us with additional liquidity to originate new loan investments as underlying loans repay. For the nine months ended September 30, 2018, the Company utilized the replenishment feature three times, contributing Contributed Companion Participation Interests of $92.8 million, and receiving net cash proceeds of $23.9 million, after the repayment of $68.9 million of existing borrowings, including accrued interest, secured by the Contributed Companion Participation Interests.

Weighted average all-in yield⁽²⁾		6.6	%
Weighted average term to extended maturity (in years)⁽³⁾		3.8
Weighted average LTV⁽⁴⁾		63.4	%

(1)

Unfunded loan commitments may be funded over the term of each loan, subject in certain cases to an expiration date or a force-funding date, primarily to finance development, property improvements or lease-related expenditures by our borrowers, and in some instances to finance operating deficits during renovation and lease-up.

(2)

As of September 30, 2018, our floating rate loans were indexed to LIBOR. In addition to credit spread, all-in yield includes the amortization of deferred origination fees, purchase price premium and discount, loan origination costs and accrual of both extension and exit fees. Credit spread and all-in yield for the total portfolio assumes the applicable floating benchmark rate as of September 30, 2018 for weighted average calculations.

(3)

Extended maturity assumes all extension options are exercised by the borrower; provided, however, that our loans may be repaid prior to such date. As of September 30, 2018, based on the unpaid principal balance of our total loan exposure, 74.3% of our loans were subject to yield maintenance or other prepayment restrictions and 25.7% were open to repayment by the borrower without penalty.

(4)

LTV is calculated as the total outstanding principal balance of the loan or participation interest in a loan plus any financing that is pari passu with or senior to such loan or participation interest as of September 30, 2018, divided by the applicable as-is real estate value at the time of origination or acquisition of such loan or participation interest in a loan. The as-is real estate value reflects our Manager’s estimates, at the time of origination or acquisition of a loan or participation interest in a loan, of the real estate value underlying such loan or participation interest, determined in accordance with our Manager’s underwriting standards and consistent with third-party appraisals obtained by our Manager.

See Note 16 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Form 10-Q for details about our mortgage loan originations subsequent to September 30, 2018.

CMBS Portfolio

We may from time to time invest in CMBS or CMBS-related assets as part of our investment strategy, often as a short-term cash management tool. Our CMBS portfolio as of September 30, 2018 consisted of four fixed rate securities whose underlying collateral is primarily first mortgage loans secured by commercial real estate properties, or for certain loans that have been defeased, United States Treasury bonds. The underlying real estate collateral is located across the United States, primarily in California and Texas with no state representing more than 17.5% of an investment’s current face amount. Additionally, all of our CMBS portfolio relates to US Government guaranteed securities or securities issued by a government sponsored enterprise (“GSE”).

The following table details overall statistics for our CMBS portfolio as of September 30, 2018 (dollars in thousands):

(4)

The largest structured finance investment is 100% collateralized by multifamily mortgage loans underwritten by the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“FHLMC”), which loans are slated for near term securitization by FHLMC. Upon the contractual maturity of the structured finance investment, FHLMC is required to purchase all of the performing mortgage loans at par. Currently, all of the underlying mortgage loans are performing. The other CMBS investments are structured finance investments issued by Fannie Mae and Ginnie Mae which are backed primarily by mortgage loans on multifamily properties that satisfy GSE program requirements. These bonds are unrated but carry a government guaranty.

Asset Management

We proactively manage the assets in our portfolio from closing to final repayment. We are party to an agreement with Situs Asset Management, LLC (“Situs”), one of the largest commercial mortgage loan servicers, pursuant to which Situs provides us with dedicated asset management employees for performing asset management services pursuant to our proprietary guidelines. Following the closing of an investment, this dedicated asset management team rigorously monitors the investment under our Manager’s oversight, with an emphasis on ongoing financial, legal and quantitative analyses. Through the final repayment of an investment, the asset management team maintains regular contact with borrowers, servicers and local market experts monitoring performance of the collateral, anticipating borrower, property and market issues, and enforcing our rights and remedies when appropriate.

Our Manager reviews our entire loan portfolio quarterly, undertakes an assessment of the performance of each loan, and assigns it a risk rating between “1” and “5,” from least risk to greatest risk, respectively. See Notes 2 and 3 to our Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Form 10-Q for a discussion regarding the risk rating system that we use in connection with our portfolio. The following table allocates the carrying value of our loan portfolio as of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 based on our internal risk ratings (dollars in thousands):

Secured Revolving Repurchase Facilities

As of September 30, 2018, aggregate borrowings outstanding under our secured revolving repurchase facilities totaled $1.6 billion, with a weighted average interest rate of LIBOR plus 2.0% per annum, a weighted average all-in cost of credit, including associated fees and expenses, of LIBOR plus 2.6% per annum, and a weighted average advance rate of 76.3%. As of September 30, 2018, outstanding borrowings under these facilities had a weighted average term to extended maturity of 2.2 years (assuming we have exercised all extension options and term out provisions). The Morgan Stanley secured revolving repurchase facility has an initial maturity date of May 4, 2019 and can be extended for additional successive one year periods, subject to approval by the lender. The number of extension options is not limited by the terms of this facility. During the three months ended September 30, 2018, the Company amended its Goldman Sachs Bank USA and JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association secured revolving repurchase facilities, extending the maturity dates to August 19, 2019 and August 20, 2021, respectively. These secured revolving repurchase facilities are 25% recourse to Holdco.

As of September 30, 2018, the Company had two secured revolving repurchase facilities to finance its CMBS investing activities. Credit spreads vary depending upon the CMBS and advance rate. These secured revolving repurchase facilities are 100% recourse to Holdco.

We use secured revolving repurchase facilities to finance certain of our originations or acquisitions of our target assets, which may be accepted by a respective secured revolving repurchase facility lender as collateral. Once we identify an asset and the asset is approved by the secured revolving repurchase facility lender to serve as collateral (which lender’s approval is in its sole discretion), we and the lender may enter into a transaction whereby the lender advances to us a percentage of the value of the asset, which is referred to as the “advance rate,” as the purchase price for such transaction with an obligation of ours to repurchase the asset from the lender for an amount equal to the purchase price for the transaction plus a price differential, which is calculated based on an interest rate. For each transaction, we and the lender agree to a trade confirmation which sets forth, among other things, the purchase price, the maximum advance rate, the interest rate, the market value of the loan asset and any future funding obligations which are contemplated with respect to the specific transaction and/or the underlying loan asset. For loan assets which involve future funding obligations of ours, the repurchase transaction may provide for the repurchase lender to fund portions (for example, pro rata per the maximum advance rate of the related repurchase transaction) of such future funding obligations. Generally, our secured revolving repurchase facilities allow for revolving balances, which allow us to voluntarily repay balances and draw again on existing available credit. The primary obligor on each secured revolving repurchase facility is a separate special purpose subsidiary of ours which is restricted from conducting activity other than activity related to the utilization of its secured revolving repurchase facility. As additional credit support, our holding company subsidiary, Holdco, provides certain guarantees of the obligations of its subsidiaries. The liability of Holdco under the guarantees related to our secured revolving repurchase facilities secured by CMBS is in an amount equal to 100% of the outstanding obligations of the special purpose subsidiary which is the primary obligor under the related facility. The liability of Holdco under the guarantees related to our secured revolving repurchase facilities secured by loans is generally capped at 25% of the outstanding obligations of the special purpose subsidiary which is the primary obligor under the related facility. However, such liability cap under the guarantees related to our secured revolving repurchase facilities secured by loans does not apply in the event of certain “bad boy” defaults which can trigger recourse to Holdco for losses or the entire outstanding obligations of the borrower depending on the nature of the “bad boy” default in question. Examples of such “bad boy” defaults include, without limitation, fraud, intentional misrepresentation, willful misconduct, incurrence of additional debt in violation of financing documents, and the filing of a voluntary or collusive involuntary bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding of the special purpose entity subsidiary or the guarantor entity.

Each of the secured revolving repurchase facilities involves “margin maintenance” provisions, which are designed to allow the repurchase lender to maintain a certain margin of credit enhancement against the loan assets which serve as collateral. The lender’s margin amount is typically based on a percentage of the market value of the loan asset and/or mortgaged property collateral; however, certain secured revolving repurchase facilities may also involve margin maintenance based on maintenance of a minimum debt yield with respect to the cash flow from the underlying real estate collateral. Market value determinations and redeterminations may be made by the repurchase lender in its sole discretion subject to any specified parameters regarding the repurchase lender’s determination, which may involve the limitation or enumeration of factors which the repurchase lender may consider when determining market value.

As of September 30, 2018, the weighted average haircut (which is equal to one minus the advance rate percentage against collateral for our secured revolving repurchase facilities taken as a whole) was 23.7%, as compared to 25.9% at December 31, 2017.

Generally, when the repurchase lender’s margin amount has fallen below the outstanding purchase price for a transaction, a margin deficit exists and the repurchase lender may require that we prepay outstanding amounts on the secured revolving repurchase facility to eliminate such margin deficit. In certain secured revolving repurchase facilities, the repurchase lender’s ability to make a margin call is further limited by certain prerequisites, such as the existence of enumerated “credit events” or that the margin deficit exceed a specified minimum threshold.

The secured revolving repurchase facilities also include cash management features which generally require that income from collateral loan assets be deposited in a lender-controlled account and be disbursed in accordance with a specified waterfall of payments designed to keep facility-related obligations current before such income is disbursed for our own account. The cash management features generally require the trapping of cash in such controlled account if an uncured default remains outstanding. Furthermore, some secured revolving repurchase facilities may require an accelerated principal amortization schedule if the secured revolving repurchase facility is in its final extended term.

Notwithstanding that a loan asset may be subject to a financing arrangement and serve as collateral under a secured revolving repurchase facility, we generally retain the right to administer and service the loan and interact directly with the underlying obligors and sponsors of our loan assets so long as there is no default under the secured revolving repurchase facility and so long as we do not engage in certain material modifications (including amendments, waivers, exercises of remedies, or releases of obligors and collateral, among other things) of the loan assets without the repurchase lender’s prior consent.

The secured revolving repurchase facilities guaranties include various covenants covering net worth, liquidity, recourse limitations, and debt coverage. The Company believes it was in compliance with all covenants as of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017.

Collateralized Loan Obligation

On February 14, 2018 (the “Closing Date”), the Company closed TRTX 2018-FL1, a $932.4 million collateralized loan obligation through its wholly-owned subsidiaries TPG Real Estate Finance 2018-FL1 Issuer, Ltd., an exempted company incorporated in the Cayman Islands with limited liability, as issuer (the “Issuer”), and TPG RE Finance Trust 2018-FL1 Co-Issuer, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, as co-issuer (the “Co-Issuer” and together with the Issuer, the “Issuers”). On the Closing Date, the Issuer issued $820.5 million principal amount of notes (the “Notes”). The Co-Issuer co-issued $745.9 million principal amount of investment grade-rated notes which were purchased by third party investors. Concurrently with the issuance of the Notes, the Issuer also issued preferred shares, par value $0.001 per share and with an aggregate liquidation preference and notional amount equal to $1,000 per share (the “Preferred Shares” and, together with the Notes, the “Securities”), to TPG RE Finance Trust 2018-FL1 Retention Holder, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. The Issuers used proceeds from the issuance of the Securities to purchase one first mortgage whole loan and 25 pari passu first mortgage loan investment participation interests at a current advance rate of 80.0% and a weighted average coupon of LIBOR plus 1.08%. This financing transaction provides non-recourse financing that reduces our cost of funds, eliminates mark-to-mark risk, improves our matched-term funding profile, and increases our portfolio financing advance rate. We retained ownership of $186.5 million of the Notes and Preferred Shares. Additionally, at September 30, 2018, we held as an investment $5.0 million of TRTX 2018-FL1 Class A Notes purchased in the open market.

At September 30, 2018, the mortgage assets represented 22.3% of the aggregate unpaid principal balance of $932.4 million of the Company’s loan investment portfolio. TRTX 2018-FL1 contains a replenishment feature that, subject to certain limitations, provides additional liquidity for existing loan investments as underlying loans repay. For the three months ended September 30, 2018, we utilized the replenishment feature, contributing participation interests of $35.9 million, and receiving net cash proceeds of $10.0 million, after the repayment of $25.9 million of existing borrowings, including accrued interest, secured by the participation interests.

Asset-Specific Financings

At September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, we had outstanding two and seven investments financed with two and three separate counterparties as asset-specific financings, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, we repaid five of the outstanding asset-specific financings at December 31, 2017 with the net proceeds from the related loan repayments of $364.8 million. In instances where we have multiple asset-specific financings with the same lender, the financings are not cross-collateralized by the additional loans pledged as collateral.

The following tables detail our asset-specific financings at September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 (dollars in thousands):

(1)

Undrawn capacity represents the positive difference between the borrowing amount approved by the lender against collateral assets pledged by us and the amount actually drawn against those collateral assets. In the case of asset-specific financings, our ability to draw the undrawn capacity is conditioned upon satisfaction by our borrower of conditions precedent to a funding on the underlying loan pledged as collateral, and by our pro rata funding with equity of the remaining future funding obligation. Amounts designated as undrawn capacity under our asset specific financings may only be used to satisfy our future funding obligations on the respective underlying pledged loan.

(2)	All of the floating rate loans and related liabilities are indexed to LIBOR.

(3)	For each of the Collateral Assets, extended maturity is determined based on the maximum maturity of each of the corresponding loans, assuming all extension options are exercised by the borrower; provided, however, that our loans may be repaid prior to such date.

In connection with the Deutsche Bank and Bank of the Ozarks asset-specific financings, Holdco has provided funding guarantees under which Holdco guarantees in limited circumstances the funding obligations of the special purpose lending entity. In addition, under the Deutsche Bank and Bank of the Ozarks asset-specific financings, Holdco has delivered limited non-recourse carve-out guarantees in favor of the lenders as additional credit support for the financings. These guarantees trigger recourse to Holdco as a result of certain “bad boy” defaults for actual losses incurred by such party, or the entire outstanding obligations of the financing borrower, depending on the nature of the “bad boy” default.

In connection with the BMO Harris asset-specific financing, Holdco has delivered a payment guarantee in favor of the lender as additional credit support for the financing. The liability of Holdco under this guarantee is generally capped at 25% of the outstanding obligations of the special purpose subsidiary which is the primary obligor under the financing. In addition, Holdco has delivered a non-recourse carveout guarantee, which can trigger recourse to Holdco as a result of certain “bad boy” defaults for losses incurred by BMO Harris or the entire outstanding obligations of the financing borrower, depending on the nature of the “bad boy” default.

Examples of “bad boy” defaults under the Deutsche Bank, Bank of the Ozarks and BMO Harris asset-specific financings include, without limitation: fraud; intentional misrepresentation; willful misconduct; incurrence of additional debt in violation of financing documents; and the filing of a voluntary or collusive involuntary bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding of the special purpose entity subsidiary or the guarantor entity. The guarantee agreements for each of the asset-specific financings also contain financial covenants covering liquid assets and net worth requirements. The Company believes it was in compliance with all covenants as of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017.

Senior Secured Credit Facilities

We are a party to a senior secured credit facility agreement with Bank of America N.A. The current interest rate is 4.1% and the initial maturity date is September 29, 2020.

The following table details the senior secured credit facilities as of September 30, 2018 (dollars in thousands):

	September 30, 2018
Senior Secured Credit Facilities	Maturity Date	Index Rate	Weighted Average Spread			Interest Rate			Commitment Amount		Maximum Current Availability		Balance Outstanding
Bank of America	9/29/2020	1 Month Libor		1.9	%		4.1	%	$	500,000	$	112,560	$	387,440
Citibank	7/12/2020	1 Month Libor		2.3	%		4.5	%	$	160,000	$	95,856	$	64,144

The Bank of America N.A. facility is 25% recourse to Holdco, while the Citibank N.A. facility is 100% recourse to Holdco, and the related guarantees include various covenants covering net worth, liquidity, recourse limitations and debt coverage. The Company believes it was in compliance with all covenants as of September 30, 2018 for both facilities and at December 31, 2017 for the Bank of America N.A. facility.

Non-Consolidated Senior Interests

In certain instances, we create structural leverage through the co-origination or non-recourse syndication of a senior loan interest to a third party. In either case, the senior mortgage loan (i.e., the non-consolidated senior interest) is not included on our balance sheet. When we create structural leverage through the co-origination or non-recourse syndication of a senior loan interest to a third party, we retain on our balance sheet a mezzanine loan. As of September 30, 2018, there were no outstanding loans that we financed through the use of non-consolidated senior interests sold or co-originated in prior periods.

Financial Covenants for Outstanding Borrowings

On May 4, 2018, we amended and restated our financial covenants to align and simplify the financial covenants across the guarantees related to our secured revolving repurchase facilities, senior secured credit facility, and note-on-note financings and to provide for additional leverage. The amended and restated agreements require Holdco to maintain compliance with the following financial covenants (among others):

•

Cash Liquidity: maintenance of minimum cash liquidity of no less than the greater of $10.0 million and 5.0% of Holdco’s recourse indebtedness;

•

Tangible Net Worth: maintenance of minimum tangible net worth of at least 75% of the net cash proceeds of all prior equity issuances made by Holdco or the Company plus 75% of the net cash proceeds of all subsequent equity issuances made by Holdco or the Company;

•

Debt to Equity: maintenance of a debt to equity ratio not to exceed 3.5 to 1.0; and

•

Interest Coverage: maintenance of a minimum interest coverage ratio (EBITDA to interest expense) of no less than 1.5 to 1.0.

The Company believes it was in compliance with all covenants as of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017.

Debt-to-Equity Ratio and Total Leverage Ratio

Our Debt-to-Equity and Total Leverage ratios increased from December 31, 2017 as a result of closing TRTX 2018-FL1, our $932.4 million collateral loan obligation which has an 80% advance rate, and the utilization of increased advance rates on borrowings related to mortgage loans originated during the nine months ended September 30, 2018. This increase was offset by repayments of certain secured revolving repurchase agreements using proceeds from our August 2018 common stock offering. The following table presents our Debt-to-Equity ratio and Total Leverage ratio as of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017:

	September 30, 2018	December 31, 2017
Debt-to-equity ratio⁽¹⁾	2.18x		1.71	x
Total leverage ratio⁽²⁾	2.18x		1.82	x

(1)	Represents (i) total outstanding borrowings under secured debt agreements (collateralized loan obligation, net), secured financing/repurchase agreements (net) and notes payable (net), less cash, to (ii) total stockholders’ equity, at period end.

(2)

Represents (i) total outstanding borrowings under secured debt agreements (collateralized loan obligation, net), secured financing/repurchase agreements (net) and notes payable (net) plus non-consolidated senior interests sold or co-originated (if any), less cash, to (ii) total stockholders’ equity, at period end.

Floating Rate Portfolio

Our business model seeks to minimize our exposure to changing interest rates by match-indexing our assets using the same, or similar, benchmark indices, typically LIBOR, as well as durations. Accordingly, rising interest rates will generally increase our net interest income, while declining interest rates will generally decrease our net interest income. As of September 30, 2018, 100.0% of our loans by unpaid principal balance earned a floating rate of interest and were financed with liabilities that require interest payments based on floating rates, which resulted in approximately $1.3 billion of net floating rate exposure that is positively correlated to rising interest rates, subject to the impact of interest rate floors on certain of our floating rate loans. We had no fixed rate loans outstanding as of September 30, 2018.

Our liabilities are generally index-matched to each collateral asset, resulting in a net exposure to movements in benchmark rates that vary based on the relative proportion of floating rate assets and liabilities. The following table details our mortgage loan portfolio’s net floating rate exposure as of September 30, 2018 (dollars in thousands):

	Net Exposure
Floating rate assets⁽¹⁾	$	4,178,729

Comparison of the Three Months Ended September 30, 2018 and September 30, 2017

Net Interest Income

Net interest income increased $8.0 million, to $35.6 million, during the three months ended September 30, 2018 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2017. The increase was due primarily to loan portfolio growth of $1.3 billion and a higher average LIBOR on the underlying loans offset by a decline in the weighted average credit spread to 415 basis points from 488 basis points. The increase in interest income was partially offset by an increase in interest expense due to increased borrowings of $1.1 billion to fund loan portfolio growth and a higher average borrowing rate, due to an increase in LIBOR, offset in part by a decrease in the weighted average credit spread of our borrowings to 185 basis points from 247 basis points, during the three months ended September 30, 2018 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2017.

Other Revenue

Other revenue is comprised of net gain/loss on the sale of certain loans and CMBS investments, interest income earned on certain cash collection accounts, and miscellaneous fee income. Other revenue decreased by $0.7 million during the three months ended September 30, 2018 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2017. The change in other revenue was primarily due to loss on sale of one loan and 17 CMBS investments during the three months ended September 30, 2018.

Other Expenses

Other expenses are comprised of professional fees, general and administrative expenses, servicing and asset management fees, management fees payable to our Manager, and collateral management fees. Other expenses increased by $0.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2017. The increase in other expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2018 was primarily due to: (i) an increase in management fees payable to our Manager of $0.7 million due to growth in the Company’s quarterly common stockholder’s equity base of $138.7 million due to our equity issuance in August 2018, and growth in Core Earnings and (ii) a decrease of general and administrative expenses, professional fees, servicing and asset management fees, and collateral management fees of $0.4 million primarily as a result of a decline in legal expenses and the termination of our private collateralized loan obligation in August 2017.

See Note 10 to our Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Form 10-Q for details regarding our Management Agreement and the revisions made in connection with the initial public offering.

Incentive Compensation

The incentive compensation earned by our Manager increased by $0.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2017. The change in incentive compensation to our Manager was due to growth in net income subject to an incentive fee and our post-IPO Management Agreement.

See Note 10 to our Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Form 10-Q for details regarding our Management Agreement and the revisions made in connection with the initial public offering.

Dividends Declared Per Share

During the three months ended September 30, 2018, we declared cash dividends of $0.43 per share, or $28.9 million. During the three months ended September 30, 2017, we declared cash dividends of $0.33 per share, or $20.1 million. The increase in cash dividends per share and cash dividends declared was primarily due to continued loan portfolio and net income growth.

Unrealized (Loss) Gain on CMBS

Other comprehensive (loss) income increased $3.1 million during the three months ended September 30, 2018 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2017. The increase is primarily related to fair value fluctuations of certain CMBS investments and changes in the size and composition of our CMBS investment portfolio, from the three months ended September 30, 2017.

Comparison of the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2018 and September 30, 2017

Net Interest Income

Net interest income increased $13.6 million, to $103.5 million, during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2017. The increase was due primarily to loan portfolio growth of $1.3 billion and a higher average LIBOR on the underlying loans, offset by a decline in the weighted average credit spread to 415 basis points from 488 basis points. The increase in interest income was partially offset by an increase in interest expense due to increased borrowings of $1.1 billion to fund loan portfolio growth and a higher average borrowing rate, due to an increase in LIBOR, offset in part by a decrease in the weighted average credit spread of our borrowings to 185 basis points from 247 basis points, during the three months ended September 30, 2018 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2017.

Other Revenue

Other revenue is comprised of net gain/loss on the sale of certain loans and CMBS investments, interest income earned on certain cash collection accounts, and miscellaneous fee income. Other revenue decreased by $0.2 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2017. The change in other revenue was primarily due to the loss on sale of one loan, and secondarily to a loss on sale of 17 CMBS investments during the three months ended September 30, 2018.

Other Expenses

Other expenses are comprised of professional fees, general and administrative expenses, servicing and asset management fees, management fees payable to our Manager, and collateral management fees. Other expenses increased by $5.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2017. The increase in other expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 was primarily due to: (i) an increase in management fees payable to our Manager of $4.9 million due to growth in the Company’s quarterly common stockholder’s equity base of $211.6 million due to our initial public offering in July 2017 and of $138.7 million due to our equity issuance in August 2018, and growth in Core Earnings and (ii) an increase of general and administrative expenses and professional fees of $1.2 million as a result of our continued growth in size and the complexities of being a public company. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in servicing and asset management fees and collateral management fees of $1.0 million due primarily to the termination of our private collateralized loan obligation in August 2017.

Our operating expenses have increased as a public company, due primarily to: increased fees payable to our Manager as a result of our Management Agreement; and increased general and administrative expenses as a public company than when private due to SEC reporting costs, legal and compliance costs, investor relations costs, increased audit and tax accounting fees, NYSE costs, regulatory compliance, and other items required of a public company.

See Note 10 to our Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Form 10-Q for details regarding our Management Agreement and the revisions made in connection with the initial public offering.

Incentive Compensation

The incentive compensation earned by our Manager decreased by $0.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2017. The change in incentive compensation to our Manager was primarily a result of our post-IPO Management Agreement.

See Note 10 to our Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Form 10-Q for details regarding our Management Agreement and the revisions made in connection with the initial public offering.

Dividends Declared Per Share

During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, we declared cash dividends of $1.28 per share, or $80.1 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, we declared cash dividends of $1.18 per share, or $61.9 million. The cash dividends declared increase was primarily due to continued growth in our loan portfolio and net income.

Unrealized (Loss) Gain on CMBS

Other comprehensive (loss) income increased $0.2 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2017. The decrease is primarily related to fair value fluctuations of certain CMBS investments and changes in the size and composition of our CMBS investment portfolio, from the nine months ended September 30, 2017.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Capitalization

We have capitalized our business to date through, among other things, the issuance and sale of shares of our common stock, secured revolving repurchase agreements, senior secured credit facilities, two CLOs, borrowings under asset-specific financings, and the sale of non-consolidated senior interests. As of September 30, 2018, we had outstanding 67.2 million shares of our common stock and Class A common stock representing $1.3 billion of stockholders’ equity, and $2.9 billion of outstanding borrowings used to finance our operations.

See Notes 5 and 6 to our Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Form 10-Q for additional details regarding our borrowings under asset-specific financings, secured revolving repurchase agreements, senior secured credit facilities, and CLO.

Sources of Liquidity

Our primary sources of liquidity include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable from our servicers from loan repayments of our loans held for investment, and available borrowings under secured revolving repurchase facilities, senior secured credit facilities, and asset-specific financings which are set forth in the following table (dollars in thousands):

	September 30, 2018		December 31, 2017
Cash and cash equivalents	$	46,203	$	75,037
Secured revolving repurchase facilities (undrawn capacity)		227,359		194,596
Senior secured credit facilities (undrawn capacity)		30,849		—
Asset-specific financing		7,323		109,728
Total	$	311,734	$	379,361

Our existing loan portfolio also provides us with liquidity as loans are repaid or sold, in whole or in part, and the proceeds from such repayments become available for us to reinvest. Additionally, our CMBS investments, which are primarily used for cash management purposes, are available for sale and may be sold to provide additional liquidity. The future sale of non-consolidated senior interests would also provide incremental liquidity upon loan origination.

Liquidity Needs

In addition to our ongoing loan activity, our primary liquidity needs include interest and principal payments under our $2.9 billion of outstanding borrowings, $527.1 million of unfunded loan commitments, dividend distributions to our stockholders, and operating expenses.

Contractual Obligations and Commitments

Our contractual obligations and commitments as of September 30, 2018 were as follows (dollars in thousands):

			Payment Timing
	Total Obligation		Less than 1 Year		1 to 3 Years		3 to 5 Years		More than 5 Years
Unfunded loan commitments⁽¹⁾	$	527,102	$	84,972	$	362,650	$	79,480	$	—
Secured debt agreements—principal⁽²⁾		2,942,284		1,543,894		1,398,390		—		—
Secured debt agreements—interest⁽²⁾		147,622		99,449		48,133		40		—
Total⁽³⁾	$	3,617,008	$	1,728,315	$	1,809,173	$	79,520	$	—

(1)	The allocation of our loan commitments is based on the earlier of the commitment expiration date and the loan maturity date.

(2)

The allocation of our secured debt agreements is based on the current maturity date of each individual borrowing under the respective agreement. Amounts include the related future interest payment obligations, which are estimated by assuming the amounts outstanding under our secured debt agreements and the interest rates in effect as of September 30, 2018 will remain constant into the future. This is only an estimate, as actual amounts borrowed and rates will vary over time. Our floating rate loans and related liabilities are indexed to LIBOR.

With respect to our debt obligations that are contractually due within the next five years, we plan to employ several strategies to meet these obligations, including: (i) applying repayments from underlying loans to satisfy the debt obligations which they secure; (ii) exercising maturity date extension options that exist in our current financing arrangements; (iii) negotiating extensions of terms with our providers of credit; (iv) periodically accessing the capital markets to raise cash to fund new investments or the repayment of indebtedness; (v) the issuance of additional structured finance vehicles, such as a CLO similar to TRTX 2018-FL1, as a method of financing; and/or (vi) selling loan or CMBS investments to generate cash to repay our debt obligations.

We are required to pay our Manager a base management fee, an incentive fee, and reimbursements for certain expenses pursuant to our Management Agreement. The table above does not include the amounts payable to our Manager under our Management Agreement as they are not fixed and determinable. See Note 10 to our Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Form 10-Q for additional terms and details of the fees payable under our Management Agreement.

As a REIT, we generally must distribute substantially all of our net taxable income to stockholders in the form of dividends to comply with the REIT provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Our REIT taxable income does not necessarily equal our net income as calculated in accordance with GAAP or our Core Earnings as described above.

Cash Flows

The following table provides a breakdown of the net change in our cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash balances for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 (dollars in thousands):

Cash flows provided by operating activities	$	78,188		$	67,240
Cash flows (used in) investing activities		(967,064	)		(401,890	)
Cash flows provided by financing activities		859,592			295,975

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Stock Dividend

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of our consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires our management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, interest income and other revenue recognition, allowance for loan losses, expense recognition, tax liability, future impairment of our investments, valuation of our investment portfolio and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, among other items. Our management bases these estimates and judgments about current, and for some estimates, future economic and market conditions and their effects on available information, historical experience and other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. However, these estimates, judgments and assumptions are often subjective and may be impacted negatively based on changing circumstances or changes in our analyses.

If conditions change from those expected, it is possible that our judgments, estimates and assumptions described below could change, which may result in a change in our interest income and other revenue recognition, allowance for loan losses, expense recognition, tax liability, future impairment of our investments, and valuation of our investment portfolio, among other effects. If actual amounts are ultimately different from those estimated, judged or assumed, revisions are included in the consolidated financial statements in the period in which the actual amounts become known. We believe our critical accounting policies could potentially produce materially different results if we were to change underlying estimates, judgments or assumptions.

For a discussion of our critical accounting policies, see Note 2 to our Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Form 10-Q.

Cash Dividend

On October 25, 2018, we paid a cash dividend on our common stock and Class A common stock of $0.43 per share, or $28.9 million, to stockholders of record as of September 28, 2018.

(1)	First mortgage loans are whole mortgage loans unless otherwise noted. Loans numbered 50, 59, and 62 represent 75% pari passu participation interests in whole mortgage loans. Loans numbered 57, 58, 60, and 61 represent 24% pari passu participation interests in whole mortgage loans.

(2)	Date loan was originated or acquired by us, which date has not been updated for subsequent loan modifications.

(3)	Represents unpaid principal balance net of unamortized costs.

(4)	Represents the formula pursuant to which our right to receive a cash coupon on a loan is determined.

(5)

In addition to credit spread, all-in yield includes the amortization of deferred origination fees, purchase price premium and discount, loan origination costs and accrual of both extension and exit fees. All-in yield for the total portfolio assumes the applicable floating benchmark rate as of September 30, 2018 for weighted average calculations.

(6)

Extended maturity assumes all extension options are exercised by the borrower; provided, however, that our loans may be repaid prior to such date. As of September 30, 2018, based on unpaid principal balance, 74.3% of our loans were subject to yield maintenance or other prepayment restrictions and 25.7% were open to repayment by the borrower without penalty.

(7)

LTV is calculated as the total outstanding principal balance of the loan or participation interest in a loan plus any financing that is pari passu with or senior to such loan or participation interest at the time of origination or acquisition divided by the applicable as-is real estate value at the time of origination or acquisition of such loan or participation interest in a loan. The as-is real estate value reflects our Manager’s estimates, at the time of origination or acquisition of a loan or participation interest in a loan, of the real estate value underlying such loan or participation interest, determined in accordance with our Manager’s underwriting standards and consistent with third-party appraisals obtained by our Manager.

(8)	For a discussion of risk ratings, please see Notes 2 and 3 to our Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Form 10-Q.

(9)	Represents the weighted average of the credit spread as of September 30, 2018 loans, all of which are floating rate.

(10)

LTV is calculated using an as-complete real estate value at the time of origination. The as-complete real estate value reflects our Manager’s estimate, at the time of origination of the underlying real estate value, determined in accordance with our Manager’s underwriting standards and consistent with third-party appraisals obtained by our Manager.

(11)

LTV is calculated using an as-is real estate value updated subsequent to the loan origination or acquisition date prepared pursuant to a third party appraisal obtained by our Manager. This as-is real estate value reflects our Manager’s estimate, as of the appraisal date of the underlying real estate value, pursuant to the third-party appraisal obtained by our Manager and is consistent with our Manager’s underwriting standards.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Interest Rate Risk

Our business model is such that rising interest rates will generally increase our net interest income, while declining interest rates will generally decrease our net interest income. As of September 30, 2018, 100.0% of our loans by unpaid principal balance earned a floating rate of interest and were financed with liabilities that require interest payments based on floating rates, which resulted in an amount of net equity that is positively correlated to rising interest rates. As of September 30, 2018, we had no loans that earned a fixed rate of interest.

The following table illustrates the impact, assuming our existing floating rate mortgage loan portfolio and related liabilities, on our interest income and interest expense for the twelve-month period following September 30, 2018, assuming an immediate increase or decrease of 25 and 50 basis points in the underlying benchmark interest rate (dollars in thousands):

Assets (Liabilities) Subject to Interest Rate Sensitivity⁽¹⁾					25 Basis Point Increase			25 Basis Point Decrease			50 Basis Point Increase			50 Basis Point Decrease
$	4,178,729			Interest income	$	10,447		$	(9,594	)	$	20,894		$	(18,460	)
	(2,907,509	)	⁽²⁾	Interest expense		(7,269	)		7,269			(14,538	)		14,538
$	1,271,220			Total change in net interest income	$	3,178		$	(2,325	)	$	6,356		$	(3,922	)

(1)	Floating rate mortgage loan assets and liabilities are indexed to LIBOR. Excludes CMBS investments and related liabilities.

(2)	Floating rate liabilities include secured revolving repurchase facilities, senior secured credit facilities, CLO, and asset-specific financings.

Credit Risk

Our loans and other investments are also subject to credit risk. The performance and value of our loans and other 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. To monitor this risk, the asset management team reviews our portfolio and maintains regular contact with borrowers, co-lenders and local market experts to monitor the performance of the underlying collateral, anticipate borrower, property and market issues and, to the extent necessary or appropriate, enforce our rights as the lender.

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 seek to manage these risks through our underwriting and asset management processes.

Prepayment Risk

Prepayment risk is the risk that principal will be repaid at a different rate than anticipated, causing the return on certain investments to be less than expected. As we receive prepayments of principal on our assets, any premiums paid on such assets are amortized against interest income. In general, an increase in prepayment rates accelerates the amortization of purchase premiums, thereby reducing the interest income earned on the assets. Conversely, discounts on such assets are accreted into interest income. In general, an increase in prepayment rates accelerates the accretion of purchase discounts, thereby increasing the interest income earned on the assets.

Extension Risk

Our Manager computes the projected weighted average life of our assets based on assumptions regarding the rate at which the borrowers will prepay the mortgages or extend. If prepayment rates decrease in a rising interest rate environment or extension options are exercised, the life of the fixed rate assets could extend beyond the term of the secured debt agreements. 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.

Capital Market Risks

We are exposed to risks related to the equity capital markets and our related ability to raise capital through the issuance of our 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 secured revolving repurchase facilities or other debt instruments or facilities. As a REIT, we are required to distribute a significant portion of our taxable income annually, which constrains our ability to accumulate operating cash flow and therefore requires us to utilize debt or equity capital to finance our business. 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.

Counterparty Risk

The nature of our business requires us to hold our cash and cash equivalents and obtain financing from various financial institutions. This exposes us to the risk that these financial institutions may not fulfill their obligations to us under these various contractual arrangements. We mitigate this exposure by depositing our cash and cash equivalents and entering into financing agreements with high credit-quality institutions.

The nature of our loans and other investments also exposes us to the risk that our counterparties do not make required interest and principal payments on scheduled due dates. We seek to manage this risk through a comprehensive credit analysis prior to making an investment and rigorous monitoring of the underlying collateral during the term of our investments.

Non-Performance Risk

In addition to the risks related to fluctuations in cash flows and asset values associated with movements in interest rates, there is also the risk of non-performance on floating rate assets. In the case of a significant increase in interest rates, the additional debt service payments due from our borrowers may strain the operating cash flows of the collateral real estate assets and, potentially, contribute to non-performance or, in severe cases, default. This risk is partially mitigated by various factors we consider during our underwriting and loan structuring process, including but not limited to, requiring substantially all of our borrowers, to purchase an interest rate cap contract for the term of our loan.

Loan Portfolio Value

We may in the future originate loans that earn a fixed rate of interest on unpaid principal balance. The value of fixed rate loans is sensitive to changes in interest rates. We generally hold all of our loans to maturity, and do not expect to realize gains or losses on any fixed rate loan we may hold in the future, as a result of movements in market interest rates during future periods.

Real Estate Risk

The market values of commercial mortgage assets are subject to volatility and may be adversely affected by a number of factors, including, but not limited to, national, regional and local economic conditions (which may be adversely affected by industry slowdowns and other factors); local real estate conditions; changes or continued weakness in specific industry segments; construction quality, age and design; demographic factors; and retroactive changes to building or similar codes. In addition, decreases in property values reduce the value of the collateral and the potential proceeds available to a borrower to repay the underlying loans, which could also cause us to suffer losses.

Currency Risk

We may in the future hold assets denominated in foreign currencies, which would expose us to foreign currency risk. As a result, a change in foreign currency exchange rates may have an adverse impact on the valuation of our assets, as well as our income and distributions. Any such changes in foreign currency exchange rates may impact the measurement of such assets or income for the purposes of our REIT tests and may affect the amounts available for payment of dividends on our common stock.

We intend to hedge any currency exposures in a prudent manner. However, our currency hedging strategies may not eliminate all of our currency risk due to, among other things, uncertainties in the timing and/or amount of payments received on the related investments and/or unequal, inaccurate or unavailability of hedges to perfectly offset changes in future exchange rates. Additionally, we may be required under certain circumstances to collateralize our currency hedges for the benefit of the hedge counterparty, which could adversely affect our liquidity.

We may hedge foreign currency exposure on certain investments in the future by entering into a series of forwards to fix the U.S. dollar amount of foreign currency denominated cash flows (interest income, rental income and principal payments) we expect to receive from any foreign currency denominated investments. Accordingly, the notional values and expiration dates of our foreign currency hedges would approximate the amounts and timing of future payments we expect to receive on the related investments.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Disclosure Controls and Procedures. We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (Principal Executive Officer) and Chief Financial Officer (Principal Financial Officer), to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

As required by Rules 13a-15(b) and 15d-15(b) under the Exchange Act, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (Principal Executive Officer) and Chief Financial Officer (Principal Financial Officer), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2018. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer (Principal Executive Officer) and Chief Financial Officer (Principal Financial Officer) concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level as of September 30, 2018.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the fiscal quarter to which this report relates that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
