CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (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 “Risk Factors” in our Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on February 21, 2023, 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, regulatory, competitive and other 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;
an inability to borrow incremental amounts or an obligation to repay amounts under our financing arrangements;
reductions in the yield on our investments and increases in the cost of our financing;
events giving rise to increases in our current expected credit loss reserve;
adverse legislative or regulatory developments, including with respect to tax laws, securities laws and the laws governing financing and lending institutions;
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;
global economic trends and economic conditions, including heightened inflation, slower growth or recession, changes to fiscal and monetary policy, higher interest rates, stress to the commercial banking systems of the U.S. and Western Europe, labor shortages, currency fluctuations and challenges in global supply chains;
the failure of any banks with which we and/or our borrowers have a commercial relationship could adversely affect, among other things, our borrower's ability to access deposits or obtaining financing on favorable terms or at all;
higher interest rates imposed by the Federal Reserve may lead to a decrease in prepayment speeds and an increase in the number of borrowers who exercise extension options, which could extend beyond the term of certain secured financing agreements we use to finance our loan investments;
reduced demand for office space, including as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and/or hybrid work schedules which allow work from remote locations other than the employer's office premises;
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, adversely impact certain of our financing arrangements and our liquidity, and potentially expose us to principal losses on our investments;
defaults by borrowers in paying debt service or principal on outstanding indebtedness;
the adequacy of collateral securing our investments and declines in the fair value of our investments;


Table of Contents
adverse developments in the availability of desirable investment opportunities, whether due to competition, regulation or otherwise;
difficulty or delays in redeploying the proceeds from repayments of our existing investments;
increased competition from entities engaged in mortgage lending and/or investing in our target assets;
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 our Manager;
conflicts with TPG and its affiliates, 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 ability to maintain our exemption or 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 (“FASB”), the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”), the New York Stock Exchange (“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 section entitled “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.

The Company is generally not subject to U.S. federal income taxes on its REIT taxable income to the extent that it annually distributes all of its REIT taxable income to stockholders and maintains its qualification as a REIT. The Company also operates its business in a manner that permits it 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 credit investments, 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.
(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. The Company believes it has made all necessary adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring items, so that the consolidated financial statements are presented fairly and that estimates made in preparing the consolidated financial statements are reasonable and prudent. The operating results presented for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the entire year. These interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 21, 2023.
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, the adequacy of our allowance for credit losses and the valuation inputs related thereto and the valuation of financial instruments. Actual amounts and values as of the balance sheet dates may be materially different from the amounts and values reported due to the inherent uncertainty in the estimation process and the limited availability of observable pricing inputs due to the nature of transitional mortgage loans. Also, future amounts and values could differ materially from those estimates due to changes in values and circumstances after the balance sheet date and the limited availability of observable prices.
Principles of Consolidation
Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 810—Consolidation (“ASC 810”) provides guidance on the identification of a variable interest entity (“VIE”), 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 the Company 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 conclusions for all its VIEs 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 in accordance with GAAP. 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 expected or realized credit losses, 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 interest income on a straight-line basis, when it approximates the interest method, over the related extension or modification period. Exit fees are accreted into interest 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, or if timely collection of principal and interest is doubtful. 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 in the value of the underlying collateral. Such amounts are considered contingent interest and are reflected as interest income only upon certainty of collection. Certain of the Company’s loan investments have in the past, and may in the future, provide for the accrual of interest (in part, or in whole) instead of its current payment in cash, with the accrued interest (“PIK interest”) added to the unpaid principal balance of the loan. Such PIK interest is recognized currently as interest income unless the Company concludes eventual collection is unlikely, in which case the PIK interest is written off.
All interest accrued but not received for loans placed on non-accrual status is subtracted from interest income at the time the loan is placed on non-accrual status. 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 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.
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 cumulative write-offs, interest applied to principal (for loans accounted for using the cost-recovery method), unamortized premiums, discounts, loan origination fees and costs. 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. Interest accrued but not yet collected is separately reported as accrued interest and fees receivable on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.
Non-Accrual Loans
Loans are placed on non-accrual status when the full and timely collection of principal or interest is doubtful, generally when: management determines that the borrower is incapable of, or has ceased efforts toward, curing the cause of a default; the loan becomes 90 days or more past due for principal or interest; or the loan experiences a maturity default. The Company considers an account past due when an obligor fails to pay substantially all (defined as 90%) of the scheduled contractual payments by the due date. In each case, the period of delinquency is based on the number of days payments are contractually past due. A loan may be returned to accrual status if all delinquent principal and interest payments are brought current, and collectability of the remaining principal and interest payments in accordance with the loan agreement is reasonably assured. Loans that in the judgment of the Company’s external manager, TPG RE Finance Trust Management, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the “Manager”), are adequately secured and in the process of collection are maintained on accrual status, even if they are 90 days or more past due.
Loans Held for Sale
The Company may change its intent, or its assessment of its ability, to hold for the foreseeable future loans held for investment based on changes in the real estate market, capital markets, or when a shift occurs in the Company's approach to loan portfolio construction. Once a determination is made to sell a loan, or the Company determines it no longer has the intent and ability to hold a loan held for investment for the foreseeable future, the loan is transferred to loans held for sale. In accordance with GAAP, loans classified as held for sale are recorded at the lower of cost or fair value, net of estimated selling costs, and the loan is excluded from the determination of the current expected credit loss ("CECL") reserve.

Credit Losses
Allowance for Credit Losses for Loans Held for Investment
The Company accounts for its allowance for credit losses on loans held for investment using the Current Expected Credit Loss model of ASC Topic 326, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (“ASC 326”). Periodic changes to the CECL reserve are recognized through net income on the Company’s consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income. The allowance for credit losses measured under the CECL accounting framework represents an estimate of current expected losses for the Company’s existing portfolio of loans held for investment, and is presented as a valuation reserve on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. Expected credit losses related to non-cancelable unfunded loan commitments are accounted for as separate liabilities included in accrued expenses and other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets. The allowance for credit losses for loans held for investment, as reported in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets, is adjusted by a credit loss (expense) benefit, which is reported in earnings in the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income and reduced by the write-off of loan amounts, net of recoveries and additions related to purchased credit-deteriorated (“PCD”) assets, if relevant. The Company has elected to not measure an allowance for credit losses on accrued interest receivables related to all of its loans held for investment because it writes off uncollectible accrued interest receivable in a timely manner pursuant to its non-accrual policy, described above.
The Company considers key credit quality indicators in underwriting loans and estimating credit losses, including but not limited to: the capitalization of borrowers and sponsors; the expertise of the borrowers and sponsors in a particular real estate sector and geographic market; collateral type; geographic region; use and occupancy of the property; property market value; loan-to-value (“LTV”) ratio; loan amount and lien position; debt service coverage ratio; the Company’s risk rating for the same and similar loans; and prior experience with the borrower and sponsor. This information is used to assess the financial and operating capability, experience and profitability of the sponsor/borrower. Ultimate repayment of the Company’s loans is sensitive to interest rate changes, general economic conditions, liquidity, LTV ratio, existence of a liquid investment sales market for commercial properties, and availability of replacement short-term or long-term financing. The loans in the Company’s commercial mortgage loan portfolio are secured by collateral of the following property types: office; life science; multifamily; hotel; industrial; mixed-use; land for industrial and office use; and self storage.
The Company’s loans are typically collateralized by real estate, or in the case of mezzanine loans, by a partnership interest or similar equity interest in the entity that owns the real estate securing the Company's first mortgage loan. The Company regularly evaluates on a loan-by-loan basis, typically no less frequently than quarterly, the extent and impact of any credit deterioration associated with the performance and/or value of the underlying collateral property, and 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 analyses are completed and reviewed by asset management personnel and evaluated by senior management, who utilize various data sources, including, to the extent available (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 availability of, and credit spreads for, refinancing and (v) other market data.
Quarterly, the Company evaluates the risk of all loans and assigns a risk rating based on a variety of factors, grouped as follows: (i) loan and credit structure, including the as-is LTV; (ii) quality and stability of real estate value and operating cash flow, including debt yield, property type, dynamics of the geography, local market, physical condition, stability of cash flow, leasing velocity and quality and diversity of tenancy; (iii) performance against underwritten business plan; (iv) the frequency and materiality of loan modifications or waivers occasioned by unfavorable variances between the underwritten business plan and actual performance; (v) changes in the capital markets that may impact the repayment of the loan via a refinancing or sale of the loan collateral; and (vi) quality, experience and financial condition of sponsor, borrower and guarantor(s). Based on a 5-point scale, the Company’s loans are rated “1” through “5,” from least risk to greatest risk, respectively:
1 -Very Low Risk
2 -Low Risk
3 -Medium Risk
4 -High Risk/Potential for Loss—A loan that has a high risk of realizing a principal loss; and
5 -Default/Loss Likely—A loan that has a very high risk of realizing a principal loss or has otherwise incurred a principal loss.
The Company generally assigns a risk rating of “3” to all loan investments upon origination or acquisition, except when specific circumstances warrant an exception. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company simplified its risk rating definitions. The Company re-evaluated its risk ratings based on the simplified definitions and concluded that there was no impact to prior period risk ratings.

Table of Contents
The Company’s CECL reserve also reflects estimates of the current and future economic conditions that impact the performance of the commercial real estate assets securing the Company’s loans. These estimates include unemployment rates, inflation rates, interest rates, price indices for commercial property, current and expected future availability of liquidity in the commercial property debt and equity capital markets, and other macroeconomic factors that may influence the likelihood and magnitude of potential credit losses for the Company’s loans during their anticipated term. The Company licenses certain macroeconomic financial forecasts to inform its view of the potential future impact that broader economic conditions may have on its loan portfolio’s performance. Selection of the economic forecast or forecasts used, in conjunction with loan level inputs, to determine the CECL reserve requires significant judgment about future events that, while based on the information available to the Company as of the balance sheet date, are ultimately unknowable with certainty. The actual economic conditions impacting the Company’s portfolio could vary significantly from the estimates the Company made for the periods presented.
The key inputs to the Company's estimation of its allowance for credit losses as of September 30, 2023 were impacted by dislocations in the capital markets, declining property values, increased interest rates, uncertain inflationary trends, a heightened risk of recession, distress in the banking sector, and geopolitical conflicts. Inherent uncertainty in the estimation process and the limited availability of observable pricing inputs due to the nature of transitional mortgage loans also constrain the Company's ability to estimate key inputs utilized to calculate its allowance for credit losses. Key inputs to the estimate include, but are not limited to: LTV; debt service coverage ratio; current and future operating cash flow and performance of collateral properties; the financial strength and liquidity of borrowers and sponsors; capitalization rates and discount rates used to value commercial real estate properties; and market liquidity based on market indices or observable transactions involving the sale or financing of commercial properties. Estimates made by the Company are subject to change. Actual results could differ from management’s estimates, and such differences could be material.
Credit Loss Measurement
The amount of allowance for credit losses is influenced by the size of the Company’s loan portfolio, loan quality and duration, collateral operating performance, risk rating, delinquency status, historic loss experience and other characteristics influencing loss expectations, such as reasonable and supportable forecasts of economic conditions. The Company employs two methods to estimate credit losses in its loan portfolio: (1) a model-based approach; and (2) an individually-assessed approach for loans considered to be "collateral-dependent" since the repayment of the loan is expected to be provided substantially through the operation or sale of the underlying collateral, and the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty or foreclosure is probable.
Once the expected credit loss amount is determined, an allowance for credit losses is established. A loan will be written off through credit loss (expense) benefit, net in the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income when it is deemed non-recoverable or upon a realization event. This is generally at the time the loan is settled, transferred or exchanged. Non-recoverability may also be concluded by the Company if, in its determination, it is nearly certain that all amounts due will not be collected. This loss is equal to the difference between the cash received, or expected to be received, and the carrying value of the asset. Factors considered by the Company in determining whether the expected credit loss is not recoverable include whether the Company determines that the loan is uncollectible, which means repayment is deemed to be delayed beyond a reasonable time, a loss becomes evident due to a borrower’s lack of assets and liquidity, or a borrower’s sponsor is unwilling or unable to support the loan.
Allowance for Credit Losses for Loans Held for Investment – Model-Based Approach
The Company uses a model-based approach used to measure the expected lifetime allowance for credit losses related to loans which are not individually-assessed. The model-based approach considers the underlying loan level cash flows and relevant historical market loan loss data. The Company licenses from Trepp, LLC historical loss information, incorporating loan performance data for over 120,000 commercial real estate loans dating back to 1998, and an analytical model to compute statistical credit loss factors (i.e., probability-of-default, loss severity, and loss-given-default). These credit loss factors are utilized by the Company together with loan specific inputs such as property-level operating performance information, delinquency status, indicators of credit quality, and other credit trends and risk characteristics. Additionally, the Company considers relevant loan and borrower specific qualitative factors, incorporates its expectations about the impact of current macroeconomic and local market conditions and reasonable and supportable operating forecasts on expected future credit losses in deriving its estimate. For the period beyond which the Company is able to make reasonable and supportable forecasts, the Company reverts to unadjusted historical loan loss information.

The Company may use other acceptable alternative approaches depending on, among other factors, the type of loan, underlying collateral and availability of relevant historical market loan loss data.

Allowance for Credit Losses for Loans Held for Investment – Individually-Assessed Approach
In instances where the Company concludes a loan repayment is entirely dependent on the operation or sale of the underlying collateral and the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty or foreclosure is probable, the Company individually assesses the allowance for credit loss for the underlying loan. The amount of expected credit loss is determined using broadly accepted and standard real estate valuation techniques (most commonly, a discounted cash flow model and real estate sales comparables), and considers substantially the same credit factors as utilized in the model-based method. In instances where the Company determines foreclosure of the underlying collateral is probable, the expected credit loss is measured as the difference between the amortized cost basis of the loan and the fair value of the underlying collateral as of the measurement date. The fair value of the underlying collateral is adjusted for the estimated costs to sell if repayment or satisfaction of a loan is dependent on the sale (rather than the operation) of the underlying collateral in instances where foreclosure is not probable.
Determining the appropriateness of the allowance is complex and requires judgment by management about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. Evaluations of the loan portfolio in future periods, given the prevailing forecasts and credit loss factors, may result in significant changes to the Company's allowance for credit losses and credit loss expense.
Unfunded Loan Commitments
The Company’s first mortgage loans often contain provisions for future funding of a pre-determined portion of capital and other costs incurred by the borrower in executing its business plan. These deferred fundings are conditioned upon the borrower’s execution of its business plan with respect to the underlying collateral property securing the loan. These deferred fundings are typically for base building work, tenant improvement costs and leasing commissions, interest reserves, and occasionally to fund forecasted operating deficits during lease-up. These deferred funding commitments may be for specific periods, often require satisfaction by the borrower of conditions precedent, and may contain termination clauses at the option of the borrower or, more rarely, at the Company’s option. The total amount of unfunded commitments does not necessarily represent actual amounts that may be funded in cash in the future, since commitments may expire without being drawn, may be cancelled if certain conditions are not satisfied by the borrower, or borrowers may elect not to borrow some or all of the unused commitment. The Company does not recognize these unfunded loan commitments in its consolidated financial statements.
The Company applies its expected credit loss estimates to all future funding commitments that cannot be contractually terminated at the Company’s option. The Company maintains a separate allowance for expected credit losses from unfunded loan commitments, which is included in accrued expenses and other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets. The Company estimates the amount of expected losses by calculating a commitment usage factor over the contractual period for exposures that are not unconditionally cancellable by the Company and applies the loss factors used in the allowance for credit loss methodology described above to the results of the usage calculation to estimate the liability for credit losses related to unfunded commitments for each loan.
Real Estate Owned
Real estate acquired through a foreclosure or by deed-in-lieu of foreclosure is classified as real estate owned (“REO”) and held for investment on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet until a pending sales transaction meets the criteria of ASC 360-10-45-9 after which the real estate is considered to be held for sale, or is sold. The Company's basis in REO is equal to the fair value of the collateral's net assets. The estimated fair value of REO is determined using generally accepted valuation techniques, including a discounted cash flow model and inputs that include the highest and best use for each asset, estimated future values based on extensive discussions with local brokers, investors and other market participants, the estimated holding period for the asset, and capitalization and discount rates that reflect estimated investor return requirements for the risks associated with the expected use of each asset. If the estimated fair value of REO is lower than the carrying value of the related loan upon its conversion to REO, the difference, along with any previously recorded specific CECL reserve, is recorded through credit loss (expense) benefit in the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income. Upon acquisition, the Company allocates the fair value of REO to assets and liabilities acquired, as applicable.
As of September 30, 2023, REO depreciable assets, are depreciated using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives as follows:
DescriptionDepreciable Life
Building22 years
Building improvements6 years
Lease intangiblesOver lease term
Renovations and/or replacements that improve or extend the life of the REO are capitalized and depreciated over their estimated useful lives. The cost of ordinary repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. The Company capitalizes costs directly related to the pre-development, development or improvement of its REO, referred to as capital projects. Costs associated with the Company's capital projects are capitalized as incurred. Costs considered for capitalization include, but are not limited to, construction costs, interest (if applicable), real estate taxes, insurance and utilities, if appropriate. The Company capitalizes indirect costs such as personnel, office,
9

Table of Contents
and administrative expenses that are directly related to its development project based on an estimate of the time spent on the construction and development activities. These costs are capitalized only during the period in which activities necessary to ready an asset for its intended use are in progress and such costs are incremental and identifiable to a specific activity to get the asset ready for its intended use. The Company determines when the capitalization period begins and ends through communication with project and other managers responsible for the tracking and oversight of individual projects. In the event that the activities to ready the asset for its intended use are suspended, the capitalization period will cease until such activities are resumed.
REO is initially measured at fair value and is thereafter subject to an ongoing impairment analysis. Subsequent to an REO acquisition, events or circumstances may occur that result in a material and sustained decrease in the cash flows generated, or expected to be generated, from the property. REO is evaluated for recoverability when impairment indicators are identified. Any impairment loss and gains or losses on sale are included in the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income. Revenue and expenses from REO operations are included in the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income within Revenue from real estate owned operations and Expenses from real estate owned operations, as applicable.
Investment Portfolio Financing Arrangements
The Company finances its portfolio of loans, or participation interests therein, and REO using secured financing agreements, including secured credit agreements, secured revolving credit facilities, asset-specific financing arrangements, mortgage loans payable, 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, 2023, the Company transferred, on a non-recourse basis, 100% of the senior mortgage loan that the Company originated to a third-party lender, and 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 loans 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.
For more information regarding the Company’s investment portfolio financing arrangements, see Note 6.
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, cash equivalents, and restricted cash. 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 inputs used by management 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
10

Table of Contents
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.
The following methods and assumptions are used by our Manager to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate that value:
Cash and cash equivalents: the carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents approximates fair value.
Loans held for investment, net: using a discounted cash flow methodology employing a discount rate for loans of comparable credit quality, structure, and LTV based upon appraisal information and current estimates of the value of collateral property performed by the Manager, and credit spreads for loans of comparable risk (as determined by the Manager based on the factors previously described) as corroborated by inquiry of other market participants.
Loans held for sale: estimated fair market value based on sale comparables as corroborated by inquiry of other market participants or independent market data providers.
Secured revolving credit facilities, asset-specific financings, and mortgage loan payable: based on the rate at which a similar secured revolving credit facility, asset-specific financing, or mortgage loan payable would currently be priced, as corroborated by inquiry of other market participants.
CRE Collateralized Loan Obligations, net: indications of value from dealers active in trading similar or substantially similar securities, observable quotes from market data services, reported prices and spreads for recent new issues, and Manager estimates of the credit spread at which similar bonds would be issued, or traded, in the new issue and secondary markets.
Other assets and liabilities subject to fair value measurement, including receivables, payables and accrued liabilities have carrying values that approximate fair value due to their short-term nature.
As discussed above, market-based or observable inputs are generally the preferred source of values for purposes of measuring the fair value of the Company’s assets under GAAP. The commercial property investment sales and commercial mortgage loan markets have experienced uneven liquidity due to global macroeconomic conditions, including heightened inflation, slower growth or recession, changes to fiscal and monetary policy, increased interest rates, currency fluctuations, labor shortages and distress in the banking sector, which has made it more difficult to rely on market-based inputs in connection with the valuation of the Company’s assets under GAAP. Key valuation inputs include, but are not limited to, future operating cash flow and performance of collateral properties, the financial strength and liquidity of borrowers and sponsors, credit spreads for secured real estate borrowings, capitalization rates and discount rates used to value commercial real estate properties, and observable transactions involving the sale or financing of commercial properties.
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 (the “Internal Revenue Code”), 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. In 2017, the Internal Revenue Service issued a revenue procedure permitting “publicly offered” REITs to make elective stock dividends (i.e., dividends paid in a mixture of stock and cash), with at least 20% of the total distribution being paid in cash, to satisfy their REIT distribution requirements. Pursuant to this revenue procedure, the Company may elect to make future distributions of its taxable income in a mixture of stock and cash. 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.
In certain instances, the Company may generate excess inclusion income (“EII”) within the Sub-REIT structure it established for the purpose of issuing collateralized loan obligations (“CRE CLOs”). EII has in the past occurred in certain of the Company’s CRE CLOs due to sharp declines in LIBOR or compounded SOFR since the issuance of a CRE CLO’s liabilities, loans contributed to the CRE CLOs with interest rate floors materially higher than the current applicable benchmark rates, and liabilities whose benchmark rates are unfloored. EII, which is treated as unrelated business taxable income (“UBTI”), is an obligation of the Company and is allocated only to a taxable REIT subsidiary (“TRS”) and not to its common stockholders.
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
11

Table of Contents
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. Currently, the Company has no taxable temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis.
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.
Earnings per Common Share
The Company calculates basic earnings per share using the two-class method. The two-class method is an allocation formula that determines earnings per share for each share of common stock and participating securities according to dividends declared and participation rights in undistributed earnings. Under this method, all earnings (distributed and undistributed) are allocated to common shares and participating securities based on their respective rights to receive dividends. Basic earnings per common share is calculated by dividing earnings allocated to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period.
Diluted earnings per share is computed under the more dilutive of the treasury stock method or the two-class method. The computation of diluted earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of participating securities outstanding plus the incremental shares that would be outstanding assuming exercise of warrants to purchase common stock (the “Warrants”, see Note 12) issued in connection with the Company’s no-longer-outstanding Series B Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock (the “Series B Preferred Stock”), which are exercisable on a net-share settlement basis. The number of incremental shares is calculated utilizing the treasury stock method.
The Company accounts for unvested stock-based compensation 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. The Company excludes participating securities and Warrants from the calculation of diluted weighted average shares outstanding in periods of net losses since their effect would be anti-dilutive.

Stock-based compensation consists of awards issued by the Company to certain employees of affiliates of the Manager and certain members of the Company’s Board of Directors. The stock-based compensation awards to certain employees of affiliates of the Manager generally vest in installments over a fixed period. Deferred stock units granted to the Company’s Board of Directors prior to December 2021 fully vested on the grant date and accrued, and will continue to accrue, common stock dividends that are paid-in kind through additional deferred stock units on a quarterly basis. Deferred stock units granted in December 2021 and subsequent periods will fully vest on the grant date and will continue to accrue and be paid cash common stock dividends on a quarterly basis. Stock-based compensation expense is recognized in net income on a straight-line basis over the applicable award’s vesting period. Forfeitures of stock-based compensation awards are recognized as they occur.
Deferred Financing Costs
Deferred financing costs are reflected net of the liabilities to which they relate, currently collateralized loan obligations, secured financing agreements, which include secured credit agreements and a secured revolving credit facility, and asset-specific financing arrangements 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, as follows: (i) for secured financing agreements other than CRE CLOs, the initial term of the financing agreement, or in the case of costs directly associated with the loan, over the life of the financing agreement or the loan, whichever is shorter; and (ii) for CRE CLOs, over the estimated life of the liabilities issued based on the underlying loans’ initial maturity dates, considering the expected repayment behavior of the loans collateralizing the notes and the impact of any reinvestment periods, as of the closing date.
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, 2023 and December 31, 2022. The balances in these accounts may exceed the insured limits.
Pursuant to financial covenants applicable to Holdco, which is the guarantor of the Company’s recourse indebtedness, the Company is required to maintain minimum cash equal to the greater of (i) $15 million or (ii) the product of 5% and the aggregate recourse indebtedness of the Company. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company held as part of its total cash balances $15.6 million and $22.4 million to comply with this covenant, respectively.

Table of Contents
Restricted Cash
Restricted cash primarily represents deposits paid by potential borrowers to cover certain costs incurred by the Company in connection with loan originations. These deposits may be returned to borrowers, after deducting eligible transaction costs paid by the Company for the benefit of the borrowers, upon the closing of a loan transaction, or if a loan transaction does not close and deposit proceeds remain. As of September 30, 2023, $0.1 million of restricted cash was combined with cash and cash equivalents of $302.3 million in the consolidated statement of cash flows. As of December 31, 2022, $0.3 million of restricted cash was combined with cash and cash equivalents of $254.1 million in the consolidated statement of cash flows.
Collateralized Loan Obligation Proceeds Held at Trustee
Collateralized Loan Obligation Proceeds Held at Trustee represent cash held by the Company’s collateralized loan obligations pending reinvestment in eligible collateral. See Note 5 for additional details.
Accounts Receivable from Servicer/Trustee
Accounts receivable from Servicer/Trustee represents cash proceeds from loan activities that have not been remitted to the Company based on established servicing and borrowing procedures. Such amounts are generally held by the Servicer/Trustee for less than 30 days before being remitted to the Company.
Stockholders’ Equity
Total Stockholders’ Equity may include preferred stock, common stock, and derivative instruments indexed to the Company's common stock such as warrants or other embedded options within financing arrangements that may be classified as temporary or permanent equity. Common shares generally represent a basic ownership interest in an entity and a residual corporate interest in liquidation, bearing the ultimate risk of loss and receiving the benefit of success. Common shares are usually perpetual in nature with voting rights and dividend rights. Preferred shares are usually characterized by the life of the instrument (i.e., perpetual or redeemable) and the ability of a holder to convert the equity instrument into cash, common shares, or a combination thereof. The terms of preferred shares can vary significantly, including but not limited to, an equity instrument’s dividend rate, term (e.g., existence of a stated redemption date), conversion features, voting rights, and liquidation preferences. Derivative instruments indexed to the Company's common stock such as warrants or other embedded options within financing arrangements are generally classified based on which party controls the contract settlement mechanism and the nature of the settlement terms that may require, or allow, the Company to make a cash payment, issue common shares, or a combination thereof to satisfy its obligation of the underlying contract.
Temporary Equity
Equity instruments that are redeemable for cash or other assets are classified as temporary equity if the instrument is redeemable, at the option of the holder, at a fixed or determinable price on a fixed or determinable date or upon the occurrence of an event that is not solely within the control of the issuer.
Redeemable equity instruments are initially carried at the relative fair value of the equity instrument at the issuance date, which is subsequently adjusted at each balance sheet date if the instrument is currently redeemable or probable of becoming redeemable. The Series B Preferred Stock issued in connection with the Investment Agreement described in Note 12 were classified as temporary equity in the accompanying financial statements.
Permanent Equity
The Company has preferred stock, common stock, and Warrants issued in connection with the Series B Preferred Stock transaction that are outstanding and classified as permanent equity. The Warrants are exercisable on a net-settlement basis and expire on May 28, 2025. None of the Warrants have been exercised as of September 30, 2023. The Company’s common stock is perpetual with voting rights and dividend rights. On June 14, 2021, the Company issued 8,050,000 shares of Series C Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock (the “Series C Preferred Stock”) that is classified as permanent equity. The outstanding shares of Series C Preferred Stock have a 6.25% dividend rate and may be redeemed by the Company at its option on and after June 14, 2026. The Series C Preferred Stock issuance and Warrants related to the Series B Preferred Stock are described in Note 12.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting ("ASU 2020-04"). ASU 2020-04 provides optional expedients and exceptions to GAAP requirements for modifications to debt agreements, leases, derivatives, and other contracts, related to the market transition from LIBOR, and certain other floating rate benchmark indices, or collectively, IBORs, to alternative reference rates. ASU 2020-04 generally considers contract modifications related to reference rate reform to be an event that does not require contract remeasurement at the modification date nor a reassessment of a previous accounting determination. In January 2021, the FASB clarified the scope of that guidance with the issuance of ASU 2021-01, “Reference Rate Reform: Scope.” This ASU provides optional guidance for a limited period to ease the burden in accounting for (or recognizing the effects of) reference rate reform on financial reporting. This would apply to companies meeting certain criteria that have contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. In December 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-06, “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) - Deferral of the Sunset Date of Topic 848”, which defers the expiration of ASC 848 from December 31, 2022, to December 31, 2024. This standard is effective for the Company immediately and generally may be elected over time through December 31, 2024.
The Company has successfully completed the transition of its loans held for investment and its liabilities from LIBOR to Term SOFR, an alternative rate endorsed by the Alternative Reference Rates Committee of the Federal Reserve System. The Company elected to apply the temporary optional expedients and determined that the contractual modifications made in connection with the transition referred to in the immediately preceding sentence did not require contract remeasurement at the respective modification dates.

(3) Loans Held for Investment and the Allowance for Credit Losses
The Company originates and acquires first mortgage and mezzanine loans secured by commercial properties. The Company considers these loans to comprise a single portfolio of mortgage loans, and the Company has developed its systematic methodology to determine the allowance for credit losses based on a single portfolio. For purposes of certain disclosures herein, the Company disaggregates this portfolio segment into the following classes of finance receivables: senior loans; and subordinated and mezzanine loans. These loans can potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk, including, without limitation: property type collateralizing the loan; loan category; loan size; loans to a single sponsor; and loans in a single geographic area. The Company’s loans held for investment are accounted for at amortized cost. Interest accrued but not yet collected is separately reported within accrued interest and fees receivable on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. Amounts within that caption relating to loans held for investment were $23.2 million and $26.4 million as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company originated three mortgage loans with a total commitment of $167.4 million, an initial unpaid principal balance of $148.4 million, and unfunded commitments at closing of $19.0 million. Additionally, the Company received nine full loan repayments of $641.6 million, and partial principal payments including accrued PIK interest payments and cost-recovery proceeds of $162.3 million across fourteen loans, for total loan repayments of $803.9 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The Company also received proceeds of $221.8 million from the sale of three of its loans with an aggregate unpaid principal balance of $352.9 million, and converted to REO two loans with an unpaid principal balance of $132.1 million.

_______________________
(1)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. In either case, the senior mortgage loan (i.e., the non-consolidated senior interest) is not included on the Company’s balance sheet. When the Company creates structural leverage through the co-origination or non-recourse syndication of a senior loan interest to a third-party, the Company retains on its balance sheet a mezzanine loan. Total loan exposure encompasses the entire loan portfolio the Company originated, acquired and financed. The Company had no non-consolidated senior interests as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.
(2)Unpaid principal balance includes PIK interest of $1.2 million and $1.7 million as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.
(3)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 property improvements or lease-related expenditures by the Company’s borrowers and to finance operating deficits during renovation and lease-up.
(4)As of September 30, 2023, all of the Company's loans were indexed to Term SOFR. In addition to credit spread, all-in yield includes the amortization of deferred origination fees, purchase price premium and discount if any, and accrual of both extension and exit fees. All-in yield for the total portfolio assumes Term SOFR as of September 30, 2023 for weighted average calculations.
(5)Extended maturity assumes all extension options are exercised by the borrower; provided, however, that the Company’s loans may be repaid prior to such date. As of September 30, 2023, based on the unpaid principal balance of the Company’s total loan exposure, 11.2% of the Company’s loans were subject to yield maintenance or other prepayment restrictions and 88.8% were open to repayment by the borrower without penalty.

The Company’s allowance for credit losses is influenced by the size and maturity dates of its loans, loan quality, credit indicators including risk ratings, delinquency status, historical loss experience and other conditions influencing loss expectations, such as property valuation and reasonable and supportable forecasts of economic conditions.
During the three months ended September 30, 2023, the Company recorded a decrease of $41.7 million to its allowance for credit losses. The decrease to the Company's allowance for credit losses was due primarily to (1) a decrease of $92.8 million resulting from loan sales and an REO conversion and (2) a decrease of $0.2 million resulting from full loan repayments, partially offset by (1) an increase of $31.5 million related to individually assessed loans as a result of continuing deterioration in office and local market fundamentals and (2) an increase of $19.9 million related to macroeconomic assumptions employed in determining the general CECL reserve and continued deterioration of the office sector.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company recorded an increase of $22.0 million to its allowance for credit losses, increasing its CECL reserve to $236.6 million as of September 30, 2023. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the increase to the Company's allowance for credit losses was due primarily to (1) an increase of $79.1 million related to individually assessed loans resulting from local market fundamentals and deterioration in the office sector, (2) an increase of $72.3 million related to macroeconomic assumptions employed in determining the general CECL reserve and the deterioration of local market fundamentals in the office sector, and (3) an increase of $0.8 million resulting from the Company's loan origination activity during 2023, partially offset by (1) a decrease of $126.0 million resulting from loan sales and REO conversions and (2) a decrease of $4.3 million resulting from full loan repayments.
As of September 30, 2023, five first mortgage loans satisfied the CECL framework's criteria for individual assessment. The total amortized cost of the individually assessed loans as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, was $380.0 million and $385.2 million, respectively. Accordingly, the Company utilized the estimated fair value of the loan collateral to estimate a total allowance for credit losses of $175.3 million as of September 30, 2023. The Company’s fair market value estimates were determined primarily using discounted cash flow models and Level 3 inputs, which include estimates of property-specific cash flows over a specific holding period, a discount rate range of 9.0% – 14.0%, and terminal capitalization rates ranging between 7.8% – 9.5%. These inputs are based on the location, type and nature of the property, current sales and lease comparables, anticipated real estate and capital market conditions, and management’s knowledge, experience and judgment. Additionally, the Company may use broker-prepared estimates of fair values based on discounted cash flows and sales comparables to corroborate the estimated value of a loan's collateral. As of September 30, 2023, four of the five loans with an amortized cost of $318.1 million were on non-accrual status, of which four loans with an aggregate amortized cost of $318.1 million are on cost-recovery due to a significant risk of principal loss. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, $4.6 million and $7.1 million of contractual interest payments were received and applied as a reduction to the loans' amortized cost under the cost-recovery method of accounting. The fifth loan, which had an amortized cost of $61.9 million, was not on non-accrual status because the borrower was not in default of the loan agreement and all amounts of interest due were collected by the Company.

During the three months ended September 30, 2022, the Company recorded an increase of $132.3 million to its allowance for credit losses. The increase to the Company's allowance for credit losses was due to weakening credit indicators, inflationary expectations, reduced liquidity in the capital markets, increased capitalization rates for properties, especially office, an uncertain macroeconomic outlook, and new loan investments offset by eight loan repayments in-full and nine partial repayments. The uncertain macroeconomic outlook is caused by surging inflationary pressures, rising short term interest rates, continuing supply chain disruptions, widening credit spreads in the fixed income markets, a material decline in U.S. stock market indices, and unsettled geopolitical conditions. These factors, and slowing business plan execution for certain of our loans, contributed to the increase in the Company’s allowance for credit losses during the three months ended September 30, 2022.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company recorded an increase of $179.4 million, increasing its allowance for credit losses to $225.6 million as of September 30, 2022. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company's estimate of expected credit losses was impacted by loan originations and repayments of $1,461.9 million and $1,171.1 million, respectively, an increase to four from one in the number of loans bearing a risk rating of "5", and recessionary macroeconomic assumptions employed in determining the model-based general CECL reserve.
As of September 30, 2023, the Company had four first mortgage loans with an amortized cost of $318.1 million on non-accrual status. As of December 31, 2022, the Company had two first mortgage loans with an amortized cost of $190.4 million on non-accrual status. In accordance with the Company’s revenue recognition and allowance for credit losses accounting policies, the Company suspended its accrual of interest income when each loan was placed on non-accrual status. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, none of the Company's performing loans (full accrual status) had accrued interest income receivable 90 days or more past due.

Loan Modifications
The Company may amend or modify a loan depending on the loan’s specific facts and circumstances. These loan modifications typically include additional time for the borrower to refinance or sell the collateral property, adjustment or waiver of performance tests that are prerequisite to the extension of a loan maturity, modification of terms of interest rate cap agreements, and/or deferral of scheduled principal payments. In exchange for a modification, the Company often receives a partial repayment of principal, a short-term accrual of PIK interest for a portion of interest due, a cash infusion to replenish interest or capital improvement reserves, termination of all or a portion of the remaining unfunded loan commitment, additional call protection, and/or an increase in the loan coupon. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, none of the Company’s loan modifications resulted in significant modifications.
As of September 30, 2023, the total amount of accrued PIK interest in the Company's loans held for investment portfolio was $1.2 million related to one first mortgage loan. No accrued PIK interest was recorded and deferred during the nine months ended September 30, 2023.

On February 16, 2022, TPG RE Finance Trust CLO Sub-REIT (“Sub-REIT”), a subsidiary of the Company, issued a collateralized loan obligation (“TRTX 2022-FL5” or “FL5”). TRTX 2022-FL5 permits the Company, during the 24 months after closing, to contribute eligible new loans or participation interests in loans to TRTX 2022-FL5 in exchange for cash, which provides additional liquidity to the Company to originate new loan investments as underlying loans repay. The Company utilized the reinvestment feature during the nine months ended September 30, 2023, but did not utilize the reinvestment feature during the three months ended September 30, 2023. The Company utilized the reinvestment feature during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022.

On March 31, 2021, Sub-REIT issued a collateralized loan obligation (“TRTX 2021-FL4” or “FL4”). TRTX 2021-FL4 permits the Company, during the 24 months after closing, to contribute eligible new loans or participation interests in loans to TRTX 2021-FL4 in exchange for cash, which provides additional liquidity to the Company to originate new loan investments as underlying loans repay. The reinvestment period for TRTX 2021-FL4 ended on March 11, 2023. In accordance with the TRTX 2021-FL4 indenture, prior to the end of the reinvestment period on March 11, 2023, the Company committed to contribute certain loan assets and completed the contribution process by mid-May 2023. The Company utilized the reinvestment feature during the nine months ended September 30, 2023, but did not utilize the reinvestment feature during the three months ended September 30, 2023. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company utilized the reinvestment feature in TRTX 2021-FL4. In connection with TRTX 2021-FL4, the Company incurred $8.3 million of deferred financing costs, including issuance, legal, and accounting related costs.
On October 25, 2019, Sub-REIT issued a collateralized loan obligation (“TRTX 2019-FL3” or “FL3”). TRTX 2019-FL3 permits the Company, during the 24 months after closing, to contribute eligible new loans or participation interests in loans to TRTX 2019-FL3 in exchange for cash, which provides additional liquidity to the Company to originate new loan investments as underlying loans repay. The reinvestment period for TRTX 2019-FL3 ended on October 11, 2021. In connection with TRTX 2019-FL3, the Company incurred $7.8 million of deferred financing costs, including issuance, legal, and accounting related costs.
On November 29, 2018, Sub-REIT issued a collateralized loan obligation (“TRTX 2018-FL2” or “FL2”). TRTX 2018-FL2 permitted the Company, during the 24 months after closing, to contribute eligible new loans or participation interests in loans to TRTX 2018-FL2 in exchange for cash, which provides additional liquidity to the Company to originate new loan investments as underlying loans repay.

In connection with TRTX 2018-FL2, the Company incurred $8.7 million of deferred financing costs, including issuance, legal, and accounting related costs.
On February 17, 2022, the Company redeemed TRTX 2018-FL2, which at its redemption had $600.0 million of investment-grade bonds outstanding. The 17 loans or participation interests therein with an aggregate unpaid principal balance of $805.7 million held by the trust were refinanced in part by the issuance of TRTX 2022-FL5 and in part with the expansion of an existing secured credit agreement. In connection with the redemption of TRTX 2018-FL2, the Company exercised an option under an existing secured credit agreement to increase the commitment amount by $250.0 million, pledge additional collateral with an aggregate unpaid principal balance of $463.8 million and borrow an additional $359.1 million.
The Company evaluated the key attributes of the issuers of the CRE CLOs ("CRE CLO Issuers"), which are wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company, to determine if they were VIEs and, if so, whether the Company was the primary beneficiary of their operating activities and therefore consolidate the CRE CLOs. The Company concluded that the CRE CLO Issuers are VIEs and the Company is the primary beneficiary because it has the ability to control the most significant activities of the CRE CLO Issuers, the obligation to absorb losses to the extent of its equity investments, and the right to receive benefits that could potentially be significant to these entities. Accordingly, as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 the Company consolidated the CRE CLO Issuers.

(3)Loan term represents weighted-average final maturity, assuming extension options are exercised by the borrower. Repayments of CRE CLO notes are dependent on timing of related loan repayments post-reinvestment period. The term of the CRE CLO notes represents the rated final distribution date.
(4)On October 1, 2021, the benchmark index interest rate for borrowings under TRTX 2019-FL3 was converted from Compounded SOFR to Term SOFR by the designated transaction representative under the FL3 indenture. The Company has the right to convert the mortgage assets' benchmark interest rate from LIBOR to Term SOFR to eliminate the difference between benchmark rates used for the assets and liabilities of the CRE CLO.
(5)As of December 31, 2022, the TRTX 2021-FL4 mortgage assets are indexed to LIBOR, with the exception of four participation interests totaling $118.9 million which are indexed to Term SOFR. The Company has the right to convert the mortgage assets' benchmark interest rate from LIBOR to Term SOFR to eliminate the difference between benchmark rates used for the assets and liabilities of the CRE CLO.
(6)As of December 31, 2022, the TRTX 2022-FL5 mortgage assets are indexed to LIBOR, with the exception of two participation interests totaling $178.5 million which are indexed to Term SOFR. The Company has the right to convert the mortgage assets benchmark interest rate from LIBOR to Term SOFR. This conversion will initiate the transition of the liabilities to Term SOFR once 50% of the underlying mortgage loans are converted to Term SOFR to eliminate the difference between benchmark rates used for the assets and liabilities of the CRE CLO.
(7)Collateral loan investment assets of FL3, FL4, and FL5 represent 14.1%, 25.0%, and 21.5% of the aggregate unpaid principal balance of the Company's loans held for investment portfolio as of December 31, 2022.
(8)During the three months ended September 30, 2022, the Company recognized interest expense of $26.4 million, which includes $1.9 million of deferred financing cost amortization and is reflected within the Company's consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company recognized interest expense of $58.8 million, which includes $6.0 million of deferred financing cost amortization and is reflected within the Company's consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income.

Secured Credit Agreements
As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had secured credit agreements used to finance certain of the Company’s loan investments. These financing arrangements bear interest at rates equal to Term SOFR plus a credit spread negotiated between the Company and each lender, often a separate credit spread for each pledge of collateral, which is primarily based on property type and advance rate against the unpaid principal balance of the pledged loan. These borrowing arrangements contain defined mark-to-market provisions that permit our lenders to issue margin calls to the Company only in the event that the collateral properties underlying the Company’s loans pledged to the Company’s lenders experience a non-temporary decline in value (“credit marks”) due to reasons other than capital markets events that result in changing credit spreads for similar borrowing obligations. In connection with one of these borrowing arrangements, the lender is also permitted to issue margin calls to the Company in the event the lender determines capital markets events have caused credit spreads to change for similar borrowing obligations (“spread marks”). Furthermore, in connection with one of these borrowing arrangements, the lender has the right to re-margin the secured credit agreement based solely on appraised loan-to-values.
The following table presents certain information regarding the Company’s secured credit agreements. Except as otherwise noted, all agreements are on a partial (25%) recourse basis (dollars in thousands):

Secured Credit Agreement Terms
As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had six secured credit agreements to finance its loan investing activities. Credit spreads vary depending upon the collateral type, advance rate and other factors. Assets pledged as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 consisted of 36 and 45 mortgage loans, or participation interests therein, respectively. Under five of the six secured credit agreements, the Company transfers all of its rights, title and interest in the loans to the secured credit agreement 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 secured credit agreement lender collects all principal and interest on related loans and remits to the Company the net amount after the lender collects its interest and other fees. For the sixth secured credit agreement, which until June 6, 2023 was a mortgage warehouse facility, the lender received a security interest (pledge) in the loans financed under the arrangement. Effective June 6, 2023, this credit facility was extended for three years and converted from a mortgage warehouse facility to a secured credit facility similar to the Company's five other secured credit facilities. The secured credit agreements used to finance loan investments are 25% recourse to Holdco.
Under each of the Company’s secured credit agreements, the Company is required to post margin for changes in conditions to specific loans that serve as collateral for those secured credit agreements. The lender’s margin amount is in all but one instance limited to collateral-specific credit marks based on non-temporary declines in the value of the properties securing the underlying loan collateral. Market value determinations and redeterminations may be made by the repurchase lender in its sole discretion subject to certain specified parameters. These considerations only include credit-based factors unrelated to the capital markets. In only one instance do the considerations include changes in observable credit spreads for such liabilities.

Secured Revolving Credit Facility
On February 22, 2022, the Company closed a $250.0 million secured revolving credit facility with a syndicate of 5 lenders. During the fourth quarter of 2022, an additional lender was added to the facility, increasing the borrowing capacity to $290.0 million. This facility has an initial term of 3 years, an interest rate of Term SOFR plus 2.00% that is payable monthly in arrears, and an unused fee of 15 or 20 basis points, depending upon whether utilization exceeds 50.0%. During the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, the weighted average unused fee was 20 and 16 basis points, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, the weighted average unused fee was 20 and 19 basis points, respectively. The facility generally provides the Company with interim financing of eligible loans for up to 180 days at an initial advance rate of 75.0%, which declines to 65.0%, 45.0%, and 0.0% after 90, 135, and 180 days from initial borrowing, respectively, depending on the likely source of refinancing. This facility is 100% recourse to Holdco. For the quarters ending September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2023, the Company received an Interest Coverage ratio covenant waiver and in doing so, the facility's advance rate declined by five points for each advance rate described above. See additional information on the Interest Coverage ratio covenant waiver in Financial Covenant Compliance.
As of September 30, 2023, the Company pledged one loan investment with a collateral principal balance of $37.2 million and outstanding Term SOFR-based borrowings of $27.9 million. As of December 31, 2022, the Company pledged one loan investment with an aggregate collateral principal balance of $59.8 million and outstanding Term SOFR-based borrowings of $44.3 million.

Mortgage Loan Payable
The Company, through a wholly-owned special purpose subsidiary, is the borrower under a $31.2 million, non-recourse mortgage loan secured by a deed of trust against an REO asset. The first mortgage loan was provided by an institutional lender, has an interest-only term of five years and bears interest at a rate of 7.7%. As of September 30, 2023, the carrying value of the loan was $30.5 million.
Financial Covenant Compliance
Our financial covenants and guarantees for outstanding borrowings related to our secured financing agreements require Holdco to maintain compliance with the following financial covenants (among others):
Financial CovenantCurrent
Cash Liquidity
Minimum cash liquidity of no less than the greater of: $15.0 million; and 5.0% of Holdco’s recourse indebtedness
Tangible Net Worth
$1.0 billion, plus 75% of all subsequent equity issuances (net of discounts, commissions, expense), minus 75% of the redeemed or repurchased preferred or redeemable equity or stock
Debt-to-Equity
Debt-to-Equity ratio not to exceed 4.25 to 1.0
Interest Coverage
Minimum interest coverage ratio of no less than 1.4 to 1.0, effective June 30, 2023. Previously, 1.5 to 1.0.
The financial covenants and guarantees for outstanding borrowings related to the Company’s secured credit agreements and secured revolving credit facility require Holdco to maintain compliance with certain financial covenants. The uncertain long-term impact of global macroeconomic conditions, including heightened inflation, slower growth or recession, changes to fiscal and monetary policy, increased interest rates, currency fluctuations, labor shortages and distress in the banking sector, on the commercial real estate markets and global capital markets may make it more difficult to meet or satisfy these covenants, and there can be no assurance that the Company will remain in compliance with these covenants in the future.
Financial Covenant Compliance
The Company was in compliance with all financial covenants for its secured credit agreements and secured revolving credit facility to the extent of outstanding balances. Effective September 30, 2023, the Company obtained from its lenders a waiver with respect to the Interest Coverage ratio covenant, reducing the minimum interest coverage ratio to 1.30 to 1.0 from 1.40 to 1.0 for the quarters ending September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2023. Absent any further waivers from the lenders, after December 31, 2023, the interest coverage ratio threshold will revert to 1.40 to 1.0 for the quarter ending March 31, 2024 and thereafter. The Company was in compliance with all financial covenants for its secured credit agreements and secured revolving credit facility to the extent of outstanding balances as of December 31, 2022.

As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had $229.2 million and $145.1 million, respectively, 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 its CLOs, secured credit agreements, and asset-specific financing arrangements that are considered Level III fair value measurements. Level III items 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 and when the loan is dependent solely on the collateral for payment of principal and interest.
The following tables provide information about the fair value of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets (dollars in thousands):

As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the estimated fair value of the Company’s loans held for investment portfolio was $3.9 billion and $4.9 billion, respectively, which approximated carrying value. The weighted average gross credit spread for the Company’s loans held for investment portfolio as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 was 3.71% and 3.44%, respectively. The weighted average years to maturity as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 was 2.6 years and 2.8 years, respectively, assuming full extension of all loans held for investment.
As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the estimated fair value of the collateralized loan obligation liabilities and secured credit agreements approximated fair value since current borrowing spreads reflect current market terms.
Level III fair values are determined based on standardized valuation models and significant unobservable market inputs, including holding period, discount rates based on LTV, property type and loan pricing expectations developed by the Manager that were corroborated with other institutional lenders to determine market spreads that are added to the forward curve of the underlying benchmark interest rate. There were no transfers of financial assets or liabilities within the levels of the fair value hierarchy during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023.

(9) Income Taxes
The Company indirectly owns 100% of the equity of TRSs. 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 federal jurisdiction as well as various state and local jurisdictions. The filings are subject to normal reviews by tax authorities until the related statute of limitations expires. The years open to examination generally range from 2020 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, 2023 and December 31, 2022, based on the Company’s evaluation, the Company did not have any material 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 and comprehensive income. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company did not have interest or penalties associated with the underpayment of any income taxes.
The Company owns, through an entity classified as a partnership for U.S. federal tax purposes (“Parent LLC”), 100% of the common equity in Sub-REIT, which qualifies as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes and is a separate taxpayer from both the Company and Parent LLC. Parent LLC is owned by the Company both directly and indirectly through a TRS. The Company, through Sub-REIT, issues CRE CLOs to finance on a non-recourse, non-mark-to-market basis a large proportion of its loan investment portfolio. Due to unusually low LIBOR rates between March 2020 and September 2022, coupled with high interest rate floors relating to many loans and participation interests pledged to Sub-REIT’s CLOs, certain of Sub-REIT’s CRE CLOs have in the past generated EII, which may be treated as UBTI. Published IRS guidance requires that Sub-REIT allocate its EII among its shareholders in proportion to its dividends paid. Accordingly, EII generated by Sub-REIT’s CRE CLOs is allocated to Parent LLC. Pursuant to the Parent LLC operating agreement, any EII allocated from Sub-REIT to Parent LLC is allocated further to the TRS. Consequently, no EII is allocated to the Company and, as a result, the Company’s shareholders will not be allocated any EII (or UBTI attributable to such EII) by the Company. The tax liability borne by the TRS on the EII is approximately 21%. This tax liability is included in the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income and balance sheets of the Company.
For the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company recognized $0.0 million and $0.1 million, respectively, of federal, state, and local tax expense. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company recognized $0.2 million and $0.3 million, respectively, of federal, state, and local tax expense. As of September 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company’s effective tax rate was 0.4% and 0.6%, respectively.
As of September 30, 2023, the Company had no income tax assets and a $0.2 million income tax liability recorded for the operating activities of the Company’s TRSs. As of December 31, 2022, the Company had no income tax assets and a $0.1 million income tax liability recorded for the operating activities of the Company’s TRSs.
As of December 31, 2021, the Company had $187.6 million of remaining capital losses that it can carry forward into future years. During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company utilized $13.3 million of the $187.6 million of available remaining capital loss carryforwards to offset the capital gain generated from the partial sale of a REO in April 2022. The Company has $174.3 million of capital losses that it can carry forward into future years as of September 30, 2023.
The Company does not expect these losses to reduce the amount that the Company will be required to distribute in accordance with the requirement that the Company distribute to its stockholders at least 90% of the Company’s REIT taxable income (computed without regard to the deduction for dividends paid and excluding net capital gain) each year to continue to qualify as a REIT.

Management Agreement
The Company is externally managed and advised by the Manager pursuant to the terms of a management agreement between the Company and the Manager (as amended, 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) or 1.50% per annum (0.375% per quarter) of the Company’s “Equity” as defined in the Management Agreement. Net proceeds from the issuance of Series B and Series C Preferred Stock are included in the Company’s Equity for purposes of determining the base management fee using the same daily weighted average method as is utilized for common equity. The base management fee is payable in cash, quarterly in arrears. The Manager is also entitled to incentive compensation which is calculated and payable in cash with respect to each calendar quarter 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, 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, 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. 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 is greater than zero. For purposes of calculating the Manager’s incentive compensation, the Management Agreement 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.
Core Earnings, as defined in the Management Agreement, means the net income (loss) attributable to the holders of the Company’s common stock and Class A common stock (in those periods in which such Class A shares were outstanding) 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, including an allowance for credit 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.

Other Related Party Transactions
The Manager or its affiliates is responsible for the expenses related to the personnel of the Manager and its affiliates who provide services to the Company. However, the Company does reimburse the Manager for agreed-upon amounts based upon 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. During the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company reimbursed to the Manager $0.3 million and $0.3 million, respectively, of expenses for services rendered on its behalf by the Manager and its affiliates. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company reimbursed to the Manager $0.8 million and $0.8 million, respectively, of expenses for services rendered on its behalf by the Manager and its affiliates.

(11) Earnings per Share
The Company calculates its basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share using the two-class method for all periods presented, which defines unvested stock-based compensation awards that contain nonforfeitable rights to dividends as participating securities. The two-class method is an allocation formula that determines earnings per share for each share of common stock and participating securities according to dividends declared and participation rights in undistributed earnings. Under this method, all earnings (distributed and undistributed) are allocated to common shares and participating securities based on their respective rights to receive dividends. The unvested restricted shares of its common stock granted to certain current and former 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, including participating in any dividends, and therefore are included in the Company’s basic and diluted earnings per share calculation. For the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, $0.3 million and $0.2 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. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, $1.1 million and $0.6 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 12 for details.
The computation of diluted earnings per common share is based on the weighted average number of participating securities outstanding plus the incremental shares that would be outstanding assuming exercise of the Warrants. The number of incremental common shares is calculated utilizing the treasury stock method. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, and 2022, the Warrants are excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per common since their effect would be anti-dilutive.
The following table sets forth the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per common share based on the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding (dollars in thousands, except share and per share data):

The Company used the net proceeds from the offering to partially fund the redemption of all of the outstanding shares of the Company’s Series B Preferred Stock. The Series C Preferred Stock is currently listed on the NYSE under the symbol “TRTX PRC.” In connection with the Series C Preferred Stock issuance the Company paid TPG Capital BD, LLC a $0.7 million underwriting discount and commission for its services as joint bookrunner. The underwriting discount and commission was settled net of the preferred stock issuance proceeds and recorded as a reduction to additional paid-in-capital in the Company’s consolidated statement of changes in equity at closing.
The Company’s Series C Preferred Stock has a liquidation preference of $25.00 per share. When, as, and if authorized by the Company’s board of directors and declared by the Company, dividends on Series C Preferred Stock will be payable quarterly in arrears on or about March 30, June 30, September 30, and December 30 of each year at a rate per annum equal to 6.25% per annum of the $25.00 per share liquidation preference ($1.5624 per share annually or $0.3906 per share quarterly). Dividends on the Series C Preferred Stock are cumulative. The first dividend on the Series C Preferred Stock was payable on September 30, 2021, and covered the period from, and including, June 14, 2021 to, but not including, September 30, 2021 and was in the amount of $0.4601 per share.

Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control event, the holders of Series C Preferred Stock have the right to convert their shares solely into common stock at their request and do not have the right to request that their shares convert into cash or a combination of cash and common stock. The Company, upon the occurrence of a Change of Control event, at its option, upon not fewer than 30 days’ nor more than 60 days’ written notice, may redeem the shares of Series C Preferred Stock, in whole or in part, within 120 days after the first date on which such Change of Control occurred, for cash at a redemption price equal to $25.00 per share, plus any accrued and unpaid dividends (whether or not declared) to, but not including, the redemption date (other than any dividend with a record date before the applicable redemption date and a payment date after the applicable redemption date, which will be paid on the payment date notwithstanding prior redemption of such shares).
Holders of Series C Preferred Stock have no voting rights except as set forth in the Articles Supplementary for the Series C Preferred Stock.
Series B Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock and Warrants to Purchase Shares of Common Stock
On May 28, 2020, the Company entered into an Investment Agreement (the “Investment Agreement”) with PE Holder L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company (the “Purchaser”), an affiliate of Starwood Capital Group Global II, L.P., under which the Company agreed to issue and sell to the Purchaser up to 13,000,000 shares of 11.0% Series B Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (plus any additional such shares paid as dividends pursuant to the Articles Supplementary for the Series B Preferred Stock), and Warrants to purchase, in the aggregate, up to 15,000,000 shares (subject to adjustment) of the Company’s Common Stock, for an aggregate cash purchase price of up to $325,000,000. Such purchases could occur in up to three tranches prior to December 31, 2020. The Investment Agreement contains market standard provisions regarding board representation, voting agreements, rights to information, and a standstill agreement and registration rights agreement regarding common stock acquired via exercise of Warrants. At closing, the Purchaser acquired the initial tranche consisting of 9,000,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock and Warrants to purchase up to 12,000,000 shares of Common Stock, for an aggregate price of $225.0 million.

Warrants to Purchase Common Stock
The Warrants had an initial exercise price of $7.50 per share. The exercise price of the Warrants and shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants are subject to customary adjustments. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, pursuant to the warrant agreement between the Company and the Purchaser and due to the Company's declaration of non-qualifying dividends, the exercise price of the Warrants was reduced twice and is now $7.02 per share. The Warrants are exercisable on a net-settlement basis and expire on May 28, 2025. The Warrants are classified as equity and were initially recorded at their estimated fair value of $14.4 million with no subsequent remeasurement. None of the Warrants have been exercised as of September 30, 2023.

The Company does not have any employees. As of September 30, 2023, 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 stock-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”).

(14) Commitments and Contingencies
Impact of Global Macroeconomic Conditions
Global economic trends and economic conditions, including heightened inflation, slower growth or recession, changes to fiscal and monetary policy, increased interest rates, currency fluctuations and challenges in the supply chain, political unrest and economic uncertainty due to terrorism or war, stress to the commercial banking systems of the U.S. and Western Europe, and the lingering aftereffects of the COVID-19 pandemic have had, and may in the future have, an adverse impact on the Company's business, the U.S. and global economies, the real estate industry and the Company's borrowers, and the performance of the properties securing the Company's loans. As of September 30, 2023, no contingencies have been recorded on the Company's consolidated balance sheet as a result of such trends and conditions; however, if market conditions worsen or extend, it may have long-term impacts on the Company's financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.
Unfunded Commitments
As part of its lending activities, the Company commits to certain funding obligations which are not advanced at loan closing and that have not been recognized in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. These commitments to extend credit are made as part of the Company’s loans held for investment portfolio and are generally utilized for base building work, tenant improvement costs and leasing commissions, and interest reserves. The aggregate amount of unrecognized unfunded loan commitments existing as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 was $247.6 million and $426.1 million, respectively.
The Company recorded an allowance for credit losses on loan commitments that are not unconditionally cancellable by the Company of $23.4 million and $17.3 million as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 which is included in accrued expenses and other liabilities on the Company’s 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, 2023 and December 31, 2022, 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
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 21, 2023. 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 any results expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including but not limited to those discussed under the heading “Risk Factors” in our Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 21, 2023.
Overview
We are a commercial real estate finance company externally managed by TPG RE Finance Trust Management, L.P., an affiliate of our sponsor TPG. We directly originate, acquire and manage commercial mortgage loans and other commercial real estate-related debt instruments 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. We operate our business as one segment.
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 believe we have been organized and have operated in conformity with the requirements for qualification and taxation as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code 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.
We continue to evaluate the effects of macroeconomic concerns, including, without limitation, rising interest rates, which may be followed up by a period of sustained high interest rates, inflation, stress to the commercial banking systems of the U.S. and Western Europe, geopolitical tensions, concerns of an economic recession in the near term, and changes to the way commercial tenants use real estate. Rising interest rates, stress to the commercial banking systems of the U.S. and Western Europe, increased volatility in debt and equity markets, declining commercial property values, and elevated geopolitical risk led us to continue to curtail our loan origination volume and increase our liquidity during the first three quarters of 2023. From January 1, 2023 through September 30, 2023, we originated three first mortgage transitional loans, with total commitments of $167.4 million, an initial unpaid principal balance of $148.4 million, and unfunded commitments at closing of $19.0 million.
For more information regarding the impact that current macroeconomic concerns have had and may have on our business, see the risk factors set forth in our Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 21, 2023.
Our Manager
We are externally managed by our Manager, TPG RE Finance Trust Management, L.P., an affiliate of TPG. TPG is a global, diversified alternative asset management firm consisting of five multi-product private equity investment platforms, including capital, growth, impact, real estate, and market solutions. 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, the selection, origination or purchase and sale of our portfolio investments, our financing activities and 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 senior investment professionals of TPG's real estate investment group and TPG’s executive committee.
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.

Investment Portfolio Financing Activity:
Extended by one year the maturity of the Goldman Sachs secured credit agreement to August 19, 2024.
Liquidity:
Available liquidity as of September 30, 2023 of $570.6 million was comprised of:
$302.3 million of cash-on-hand, of which $286.7 million was available for investment, net of $15.6 million held to satisfy liquidity covenants under our secured financing agreements.
$237.5 million of cash in our CRE CLOs available for investment in eligible collateral.
Undrawn capacity (liquidity available to us without the need to pledge additional collateral to our lenders) of $30.5 million under secured credit agreements with six lenders, and $0.3 million under asset-specific financing arrangements.
We have financed our loan investments as of September 30, 2023 utilizing three CRE CLOs totaling $2.0 billion, one of which is open for reinvestment of eligible loan collateral at quarter end, $1.0 billion under secured credit agreements with total commitments of $2.8 billion provided by six lenders, $214.3 million under asset-specific financing arrangements, and $27.9 million under our $290.0 million secured revolving credit facility. As of September 30, 2023, 61.4% of our borrowings were pursuant to our CRE CLO vehicles, 32.0% were pursuant to our secured credit agreements and secured revolving credit facility and 6.6% were pursuant to our asset-specific financing arrangements. Non-mark-to-market financing comprised 68.9% of total loan portfolio borrowings as of September 30, 2023.
Our ability to draw on our secured credit agreements and secured revolving credit facility is dependent upon our lenders’ willingness to accept as collateral loan investments we pledge to them to secure additional borrowings. These financing arrangements have credit spreads based upon the LTV and other risk characteristics of collateral pledged, and provide financing with mark-to-market provisions generally limited to collateral-specific events (i.e., "credit" marks) and, in only one instance, to capital markets-driven events (i.e., "spread" marks). Borrowings under our secured revolving credit agreement are permitted with respect to collateral that satisfies pre-determined eligibility standards, and have a pre-determined advance rate (generally, 75% of the unpaid principal balance pledged) and credit spread (Term SOFR plus 2.00%). As of September 30, 2023, borrowings under these secured credit agreements and secured revolving credit facility had a weighted average credit spread of 2.05% (2.05% for arrangements with mark-to-market provisions and 2.00% for one arrangement with no mark-to-market provisions), and a weighted average term to extended maturity assuming exercise of all extension options and term-out provisions of 1.5 years. These financing arrangements are generally 25% recourse to Holdco, with the exception of the secured revolving credit facility that is 100% recourse to Holdco.

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 common share, Distributable Earnings, and book value per common share. As further described below, Distributable Earnings is a measure that is not prepared in accordance with GAAP. We use Distributable 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.
For the three months ended September 30, 2023, we recorded net (loss) attributable to common stockholders of ($0.83) per diluted common share, an increase of $0.11 per diluted common share from the three months ended June 30, 2023, of which $0.18 per diluted common share relates primarily to a decrease in our credit loss expense during the third quarter of 2023, which totaled $75.8 million as compared to $89.1 million during the second quarter of 2023.
Distributable Earnings (loss) per diluted common share was ($1.33) for three months ended September 30, 2023, a decrease of $1.15 per diluted common share from the three months ended June 30, 2023. The decrease in Distributable Earnings per diluted common share was primarily due to an increase in realized losses on loan sales and REO conversion of $1.08 per diluted common share during the third quarter of 2023 and a decrease in net interest income of $0.08 per diluted common share during the third quarter of 2023, partially offset by an increase in other income, net of expenses of $0.01 per diluted common share.
For the three months ended September 30, 2023, we declared a cash dividend of $0.24 per common share which was paid on October 25, 2023.
Our book value per common share as of September 30, 2023 was $12.04, a decrease of $2.44 per common share from our book value per common share as of December 31, 2022 of $14.48, primarily due to an increase in credit loss expense during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 of $172.7 million, or $2.22 per common share.
The following table sets forth the calculation of basic and diluted net (loss) income attributable to common stockholders per share and dividends declared per share (dollars in thousands, except share and per share data):

(2)Basic and diluted earnings per common share are computed independently based on the weighted-average shares of common stock outstanding. Diluted earnings per common share also includes the impact of participating securities outstanding plus any incremental shares that would be outstanding assuming the exercise of the Warrants.
Distributable Earnings
Distributable Earnings is a non-GAAP measure, which we define as GAAP net income (loss) attributable to our common stockholders, including realized gains and losses from loan sales and other loan resolutions (including conversions to REO), regardless of whether such items are included in other comprehensive income or loss, or in GAAP net income (loss), and excluding (i) non-cash stock compensation expense, (ii) depreciation and amortization expense, (iii) unrealized gains (losses) (including credit loss expense (benefit), net), and (iv) certain non-cash or income and expense items. The exclusion of depreciation and amortization expense from the calculation of Distributable Earnings only applies to debt investments related to real estate to the extent we foreclose upon the property or properties underlying such debt investments.
50

Table of Contents
We believe that Distributable Earnings provides meaningful information to consider in addition to our net income (loss) and cash flow from operating activities determined in accordance with GAAP. We generally must distribute at least 90% of our net taxable income annually, subject to certain adjustments and excluding any net capital gains, for us to continue to qualify as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes. We believe that one of the primary reasons investors purchase our common stock is to receive our dividends. Because of our investors’ continued focus on our ability to pay dividends, Distributable Earnings is an important measure for us to consider when determining our distribution policy and dividends per common share. Further, Distributable Earnings helps us to evaluate our performance excluding the effects of certain transactions and GAAP adjustments that we believe are not necessarily indicative of our current loan investment and operating activities.
Distributable Earnings excludes the impact of our credit loss provision or reversals of our credit loss provision, but only to the extent that our credit loss provision exceeds any realized credit losses during the applicable reporting period.
A loan will be written off as a realized loss when it is deemed non-recoverable or upon a realization event. Such a realized loss would generally be recognized at the time the loan receivable is settled, transferred or exchanged, or in the case of foreclosure, when the underlying property is foreclosed upon or sold. Non-recoverability may also be concluded by us if, in our determination, it is nearly certain that all amounts due will not be collected. A realized loss may equal the difference between the cash or consideration received or expected to be received, and the net book value of the loan, reflecting our economics as it relates to the ultimate realization of the asset.
Distributable Earnings does not represent net income (loss) or cash generated from operating activities and should not be considered as an alternative to GAAP net income (loss), 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 Distributable Earnings may differ from the methodologies employed by other companies to calculate the same or similar supplemental performance measures, and accordingly, our reported Distributable Earnings may not be comparable to the Distributable Earnings reported by other companies.

Investment Portfolio Overview
Our interest-earning assets are comprised entirely of a portfolio of floating rate, first mortgage loans, or in limited instances, mezzanine loans. As of September 30, 2023, our loans held for investment portfolio consisted of 59 first mortgage loans (or interests therein) totaling $4.2 billion of commitments with an unpaid principal balance of $4.0 billion. As of September 30, 2023, 100% of the loan commitments in our portfolio consisted of floating rate loans, of which 100.0% were first mortgage loans or, in one instance, a first mortgage loan and contiguous mezzanine loan both owned by us. As of September 30, 2023, we had $247.6 million of unfunded loan commitments, our funding of which is subject to borrower satisfaction of certain milestones.
We may hold REO as a result of taking title to a loan's collateral. As of September 30, 2023, we owned one multifamily property and one office property with an aggregate carrying value of $117.8 million acquired through a foreclosure and a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure, respectively.
Loan Portfolio
During the three months ended September 30, 2023, we funded $21.4 million of deferred future fundings related to previously originated loans. We received proceeds from two loan repayments in-full of $261.3 million, and principal amortization of $25.9 million across four loans, for total loan repayments of $287.2 million during the period. We received cost-recovery proceeds from five non-accrual loans of $9.8 million.

(1)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. Total loan exposure encompasses the entire loan portfolio we originated, acquired and financed. We did not have any non-consolidated senior interests as of September 30, 2023.
(2)Unpaid principal balance includes PIK interest of $1.2 million as of September 30, 2023.
(3)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 property improvements or lease-related expenditures by our borrowers and to finance operating deficits during renovation and lease-up.
(4)As of September 30, 2023, all of our loans were indexed to Term SOFR. In addition to credit spread, all-in yield includes the amortization of deferred origination fees, purchase price premium and discount, and accrual of both extension and exit fees. All-in yield for the total portfolio assumes Term SOFR as of September 30, 2023 for weighted average calculations.
(5)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, 2023, based on the unpaid principal balance of our total loan exposure, 11.2% of our loans were subject to yield maintenance or other prepayment restrictions and 88.8% were open to repayment without penalty.
(6)Except for construction loans, LTV is calculated for loan originations and existing loans 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, 2023, divided by the as-is appraised value of our collateral at the time of origination or acquisition of such loan or participation interest. For construction loans only, LTV is calculated as the total commitment amount of the loan divided by the as-stabilized value of the real estate securing the loan. The as-is or as-stabilized (as applicable) value reflects our Manager’s estimates, at the time of origination or acquisition of the 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.

Real Estate Owned
In August 2023, we acquired a multifamily property under development in Los Angeles, CA pursuant to a foreclosure. The property previously served as collateral for a first mortgage loan receivable held for investment, which had a risk rating of "4", was on non-accrual status and had an amortized cost and carrying value of $77.1 million and $71.1 million, respectively, as of June 30, 2023. During the third quarter of 2023, we recognized the property as REO with a carrying value of $71.1 million, which included the estimated fair value of the property and capitalized transaction costs. As of September 30, 2023, the REO is reflected on our consolidated balance sheets with a carrying value of $71.3 million.
In April 2023, we acquired an office property in Houston, TX pursuant to a negotiated deed-in-lieu of foreclosure. The property previously served as collateral for a first mortgage loan receivable held for investment, which had a risk rating of "5", was on non-accrual status, was accounted for under cost-recovery and had an amortized cost and carrying value of $55.0 million and $46.0 million, respectively, as of March 31, 2023. During the second quarter of 2023, we recognized the property as REO with a carrying value of $46.0 million, which included the estimated fair value of the property and capitalized transaction costs. As of September 30, 2023, the REO is reflected on our consolidated balance sheets with a carrying value of $46.5 million. During June 2023, we obtained from a third party a $31.2 million first mortgage loan secured by the office property.
Asset Management
We actively manage the assets in our portfolio from closing to final repayment or resolution. We are party to an agreement with Situs Asset Management, LLC (“SitusAMC”), one of the largest commercial mortgage loan servicers, pursuant to which SitusAMC provides us with dedicated asset management employees to provide 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.
Loan Portfolio Review
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 Note 2 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 loan portfolio.

The weighted average risk rating of our loan portfolio was 3.2 as of September 30, 2023, unchanged from December 31, 2022.
During the three months ended September 30, 2023, as part of our quarterly risk rating process, we assigned an initial risk rating of "3" to a newly-originated loan secured by two hotel properties. We downgraded one multifamily loan from risk category "4" to "5" due to deteriorating operating results, and one office loan from risk category "4" to "5" due to weak operating results due to tenant departures. We received repayment in full of two loans with a total unpaid principal balance of $261.3 million and a weighted average risk rating of 2.0 as of June 30, 2023. The two loan repayments were included within our hotel and multifamily property categories. We converted to REO one multifamily loan with a risk rating of "4". We sold a mixed-use loan and an office loan with an aggregate unpaid principal balance of $281.6 million, both with risk ratings of "5" as of June 30, 2023.
During the three months ended June 30, 2023, as part of our quarterly risk rating process, we downgraded three loans from risk category "4" to "5". We downgraded two office loans and one mixed-use loan from risk category "4" to "5" due to the continued deterioration of the office sector and property specific operating trends. During the three months ended June 30, 2023, we received repayment in full of four loans with a total unpaid principal balance of $236.0 million and a weighted average risk rating of 2.8 as of March 31, 2023. The four loan repayments were included within our office and multifamily property categories. Additionally, during the three months ended June 30, 2023, we sold one office loan with an unpaid principal balance of $71.3 million with a risk rating of "5" as of March 31, 2023.
During the three months ended March 31, 2023, as part of our quarterly risk rating process, we upgraded one loan and did not downgrade any of our loans. We upgraded one hotel loan from risk category "4" to "3" due to continued improvement in property-level operating performance. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, we received repayment in full of three loans with a total unpaid principal balance of $144.4 million and a weighted average risk rating of 3.1 as of December 31, 2022. The three loan repayments were included within our office, multifamily, and industrial property categories and had risk ratings of 4, 3, and 2, respectively, as of December 31, 2022. The two new loan investments made during the three months ended March 31, 2023 were assigned an initial risk rating of "3".
Loan Modification Activity
Loan modifications and amendments are commonplace in the transitional lending business. We may amend or modify a loan depending on the loan’s specific facts and circumstances. These loan modifications typically include additional time for the borrower to refinance or sell the collateral property, adjustment or waiver of performance tests that are prerequisite to the extension of a loan maturity, modification of terms of interest rate cap agreements, and/or deferral of scheduled principal payments. In exchange for a modification, we often receive a partial repayment of principal, a short-term accrual of PIK interest for a portion of interest due, a cash infusion to replenish interest or capital improvement reserves, termination of all or a portion of the remaining unfunded loan commitment, additional call protection, and/or an increase in the loan coupon or additional loan fees. None of our loan modifications resulted in a significant modification.
We continue to work with our borrowers to address issues as they arise, while seeking to protect the credit attributes of our loans. However, we cannot assure you that these efforts will be successful, and we may experience payment delinquencies, defaults, foreclosures, or losses.

Allowance for Credit Losses
Our allowance for credit losses is influenced by the size and weighted average maturity date of our loans, loan quality, risk rating, delinquency status, loan-to-value ratio, historical loss experience and other conditions influencing loss expectations, such as reasonable and supportable forecasts of economic conditions. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, we recorded a decrease and an increase of $41.7 million and $22.0 million, respectively, in our allowance for credit losses resulting in an aggregate CECL reserve of $236.6 million at quarter-end. The increase in our allowance for credit losses reflects ongoing concerns about growing geopolitical tensions, the potential impact of market volatility, the possibility of an economic recession, limited liquidity in the capital markets, distress in the banking sector and a slowdown in investment sales, and loan specific property-level performance trends such as shifting office market fundamentals and inflationary pressures that may cause operating margins to narrow.
While the ultimate impact of the macroeconomic outlook and property performance trends remain uncertain, we selected our macroeconomic outlook to address this uncertainty, and made specific forward-looking adjustments to the inputs of our loan-level calculations to reflect collateral operating performance, credit structure features of loan agreements, variability in an economic climate marked by rising rates, and other impacts to the broader economy.

Investment Portfolio Financing
We finance our investment portfolio using secured financing agreements, including secured credit agreements, secured revolving credit facilities, mortgage loans payable, asset-specific financing arrangements, and collateralized loan obligations. In certain instances, we may create structural leverage and obtain matched-term financing through the co-origination or non-recourse syndication of a senior loan interest to a third party (a “non-consolidated senior interest”). We generally seek to match-fund and match-index our investments by minimizing the differences between the durations and indices of our investments and those of our liabilities, while minimizing our exposure to mark-to-market risk involving either credit or spread (capital markets) considerations.

The remaining 31.1% of our loan portfolio borrowings, comprised primarily of our six secured credit agreements, are subject to credit marks, and in only one instance to credit and spread marks. As of September 30, 2023, we did not have any non-consolidated senior interests.

________________________________
(1)Commitment amount represents the maximum amount of borrowings available under a given agreement once sufficient collateral assets have been approved by the lender and pledged by us.
(2)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. The funding of such amounts is generally subject to the sole and absolute discretion of each lender.
(3)Represents the commitment amount less the approved borrowings, which amount is available to be borrowed provided we pledge, and the lender approves, additional collateral assets.
(4)Each secured credit agreement interest rate is subject to Term SOFR as its benchmark interest rate. The credit spread for each arrangement is added to Term SOFR to calculate the interest rate charged for each borrowing.
(5)Our ability to extend our secured credit agreements to the dates shown above is subject to satisfaction of certain conditions. Even if extended, our lenders retain sole discretion to determine whether to accept pledged collateral, and the advance rate and credit spread applicable to each borrowing thereunder.
Once we identify an asset and the asset is approved by the secured credit agreement 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 loan asset, which is referred to as the “advance rate.” In the case of borrowings under our secured credit agreements that are repurchase arrangements, this advance serves as the purchase price at which the lender acquires the loan asset from us 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. Advance rates are subject to negotiation between us and our secured credit agreement lenders.
For each transaction, we and the lender agree to a trade confirmation which sets forth, among other things, the asset purchase price, the maximum advance rate, the interest rate and the market value of the asset. For transactions under our secured credit agreements, the trade confirmation may also set forth any future funding obligations which are contemplated with respect to the specific transaction and/or the underlying loan asset and loan-specific margin maintenance provisions, described below.
Generally, our secured credit agreements allow for revolving balances, which allow us to voluntarily repay balances and draw again on existing available credit. The primary obligor on each secured credit agreement is a separate special purpose subsidiary of ours which is restricted from conducting activity other than activity related to the utilization of its secured credit agreement and the loans or loan interests that are originated or acquired by such subsidiary. As additional credit support, our holding company subsidiary, Holdco, provides certain guarantees of the obligations of its subsidiaries. Holdco’s liability is generally capped at 25% of the outstanding obligations of the special purpose subsidiary which is the primary obligor under the related agreement. However, this liability cap 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 credit agreements has “margin maintenance” provisions, which are designed to allow the lender to maintain a certain margin of credit enhancement against the assets which serve as collateral. The lender’s margin amount is typically based on a
58

Table of Contents
percentage of the market value of the asset and/or mortgaged property collateral; however, certain secured credit agreements 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. In certain cases, margin maintenance provisions can relate to minimum debt yields for pledged collateral considered as a whole, or limits on concentration of loan exposure measured by property type or loan type.
Our secured credit agreements contain defined mark-to-market provisions that permit the lenders to issue margin calls to us in the event that the collateral properties underlying our loans pledged to our lenders experience a non-temporary decline in value or net cash flow (“credit marks”). In connection with one of these borrowing arrangements, the lender is also permitted to issue margin calls to us in the event the lender determines capital markets events have caused credit spreads to change for similar borrowing obligations (“spread marks”). Furthermore, in connection with one of these borrowing arrangements, the lender has the right to re-margin the secured credit agreement based solely on appraised loan-to-values in the third year of the facility. In the event that we experience market turbulence, we may be exposed to margin calls in connection with our secured credit agreements.
The maturity dates for each of our secured credit agreements are set forth in tables that appear earlier in this section. Our secured credit agreements generally have terms of between one and three years, but may be extended if we satisfy certain performance-based conditions. In the normal course of business, we maintain discussions with our lenders to extend, amend or otherwise optimize any financing agreements related to our loans.
As of September 30, 2023, the weighted average haircut (which is equal to one minus the advance rate percentage against collateral for our secured credit agreements taken as a whole) was 23.2% compared to 21.9% as of December 31, 2022.
The secured credit agreements also include cash management features which generally require that income from collateral loan assets be deposited in a lender-controlled account for distribution 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 under our borrowing arrangement remains outstanding. Furthermore, some secured credit agreements may require an accelerated principal amortization schedule if the secured credit agreement 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 credit agreement, we 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 credit agreement, 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 lender’s prior consent.

Secured Revolving Credit Facility
On February 22, 2022, we closed a $250.0 million, secured revolving credit facility with a syndicate of 5 banks to provide interim funding of up to 180 days for newly-originated and existing loans. During the fourth quarter of 2022, an additional lender was added to the facility, increasing the borrowing capacity to $290.0 million. This facility has an initial term of 3 years, an interest rate of Term SOFR plus 2.00% that is payable monthly in arrears, and an unused fee of 15 or 20 basis points, depending upon whether utilization exceeds 50.0%. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, the weighted average unused fee was 20 and 20 basis points, respectively. This facility is 100% recourse to Holdco. As of September 30, 2023, we pledged one loan investment with a collateral principal balance of $37.2 million and had outstanding Term SOFR-based borrowings of $27.9 million.
Asset-Specific Financing Arrangements
As of September 30, 2023, we had four separate asset-specific financing arrangements with four third-party lenders. On November 17, 2022, we closed a $23.3 million asset-specific financing arrangement with Customers Bank. The arrangement provides non-mark-to-market matched term, non-recourse financing. On September 1, 2022, we closed a $397.9 million asset-specific financing arrangement with an Institutional Lender ("Institutional Lender 2"). The arrangement provides non-mark-to-market matched term, non-recourse financing. On July 5, 2022, we closed one asset-specific financing arrangement with Axos Bank secured by one mortgage loan. The arrangement provides non-mark-to-market financing, a term of up to 2 years, and is 15% recourse to Holdco. On June 30, 2022, we closed a $200.0 million loan financing facility (the "BMO Facility"). The BMO Facility provides asset-specific financing on a non-mark-to-market basis with matched term. This facility is 25% recourse to Holdco.

Collateralized Loan Obligations
As of September 30, 2023, we had three collateralized loan obligations, TRTX 2022-FL5, TRTX 2021-FL4, and TRTX 2019-FL3, totaling $2.0 billion, financing $2.6 billion, or 64.3%, of our loans held for investment portfolio, and holding $237.5 million of cash for investment in eligible loan collateral. As of September 30, 2023, our CRE CLOs provide low cost, non-mark-to-market, non-recourse financing for 61.4% of our loan portfolio borrowings. The collateralized loan obligations bear a weighted average interest rate of Term SOFR or Compounded SOFR plus 1.94%, have a weighted average advance rate of 79.4%, and include a reinvestment feature that allows us to contribute existing or new loan investments in exchange for proceeds from loan repayments held by the CRE CLOs.

(4)On October 1, 2021, the benchmark index interest rate for borrowings under TRTX 2019-FL3 was converted from Compounded SOFR to Term SOFR by the designated transaction representative under the FL3 indenture. We exercised our right to convert the mortgage assets' benchmark interest rate from LIBOR to Term SOFR to eliminate the difference between benchmark rates used for the assets and liabilities of the CRE CLO. As of September 30, 2023, the TRTX 2019-FL3 mortgage assets are indexed to Term SOFR.
(5)On May 15, 2023, the benchmark index interest rate for borrowings under TRTX 2021-FL4 was converted from LIBOR to Term SOFR by the designated transaction representative under the FL4 indenture. We exercised our right to convert the mortgage assets' benchmark interest rate from LIBOR to Term SOFR to eliminate the difference between benchmark rates used for the assets and liabilities of the CRE CLO.
(6)We had the ability to convert the interest rate benchmark from Compounded SOFR to Term SOFR once 50% of the underlying mortgage loans were converted to Term SOFR. On September 12, 2023, the benchmark interest rate for borrowings under TRTX 2022-FL5 was converted from Compounded SOFR to Term SOFR. As of September 30, 2023, all of the TRTX 2022-FL5 mortgage assets are indexed to Term SOFR.
(7)Collateral loan investment assets of FL3, FL4 and FL5 represent 9.6%, 27.6% and 27.1% of the aggregate unpaid principal balance of our loans held for investment portfolio as of September 30, 2023.
(8)During the three months ended September 30, 2023, we recognized interest expense of $38.3 million, which includes $1.2 million of deferred financing cost amortization. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we recognized interest expense of $115.1 million, which includes $3.6 million of deferred financing cost amortization.

Table of Contents
During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we utilized our eligible reinvestment feature related to TRTX 2021-FL4 sixteen times, recycling repayment of loan principal received of $384.4 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we utilized our eligible reinvestment feature related to TRTX 2022-FL5 two times, recycling $31.8 million of principal repayments received. We did not use the reinvestment feature related to TRTX 2021-FL4 or TRTX 2022-FL5 during the three months ended September 30, 2023. The reinvestment period for TRTX 2019-FL3 ended on October 11, 2021. The reinvestment period for TRTX 2021-FL4 ended on March 11, 2023. In accordance with the TRTX 2021-FL4 indenture, prior to the end of the reinvestment period on March 11, 2023, we committed to contribute certain assets and completed the contribution process by mid-May 2023.
See Note 5 to our Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Form 10-Q for details about our CRE CLO reinvestment feature.
Mortgage Loan Payable
Through a wholly-owned, special purpose subsidiary, we are the borrower under a $31.2 million mortgage loan secured by a deed of trust against an REO asset. The first mortgage loan was provided by an institutional lender, has an interest-only five year term and bears interest at a rate of 7.7%. As of September 30, 2023, the carrying value of the loan was $30.5 million.
Non-Consolidated Senior Interests and Retained Mezzanine Loans
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, 2023, there are no non-consolidated senior interests or retained mezzanine loans outstanding.
Financial Covenants for Outstanding Borrowings
For a description of our financial covenants and guarantees for outstanding borrowings related to our secured financing agreements, see Note 6 to our Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Form 10-Q.
We were in compliance with all financial covenants for our secured credit agreements and secured revolving credit facility to the extent of outstanding balances. Effective September 30, 2023, we obtained from our lenders a waiver with respect to the Interest Coverage ratio covenant, reducing the minimum interest coverage ratio to 1.30 to 1.0 from 1.40 to 1.0 for the quarters ending September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2023. Absent any further waivers from the lenders, after December 31, 2023, the interest coverage ratio threshold will revert to 1.40 to 1.0 for the quarter ending March 31, 2024 and thereafter. We were in compliance with all financial covenants for our secured credit agreements and secured revolving credit facility to the extent of outstanding balances as of December 31, 2022.
If we fail to satisfy any of the covenants in our financing arrangements and are unable to obtain a waiver or other suitable relief from the lenders, we would be in default under these agreements, which could result in a cross-default or cross-acceleration under other financing arrangements, and our lenders could elect to declare outstanding amounts due and payable (or such amounts may automatically become due and payable), terminate their commitments, require the posting of additional collateral and enforce their respective interests against existing collateral. A default also could significantly limit our financing alternatives, which could cause us to curtail our investment activities or dispose of assets when we otherwise would not choose to do so. Further, this could make it difficult for us to satisfy the requirements necessary to maintain our qualification as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

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. Accordingly, rising interest rates will generally increase our net interest income, while declining interest rates will generally decrease our net interest income, subject to the impact of interest rate floors in our mortgage loan investment portfolio. As of September 30, 2023, 100.0% of our loan investments 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 $0.7 billion of net floating rate exposure, subject to the impact of interest rate floors on all our floating rate loans and less than 1.8% of our liabilities. Subject to the specific footnote disclosures in the preceding tables describing our revolving credit facilities, secured financing arrangements, asset-specific financing arrangements and CRE CLOs, and the table that follows, our liabilities are generally index-matched to each loan investment asset, resulting in a net exposure to movements in floating benchmark interest rates that varies based on the relative proportion of floating rate assets and liabilities.
The following table details the net floating rate exposure of our loan portfolio by unpaid principal balance as of September 30, 2023 (dollars in thousands):

Net Interest Income
Net interest income decreased by $6.6 million to $19.5 million during the three months ended September 30, 2023 compared to $26.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023. The decrease was primarily due to full loan repayments during the second and third quarters of 2023.
Other Revenue
Other revenue increased $1.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2023 primarily due to an entire quarter of revenue earned from real estate owned operations from an office property acquired through a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure during the second quarter of 2023, compared to two months of ownership in the previous quarter, and an increase in interest rates earned on higher cash balances during the period.
66

Table of Contents
Other Expenses
Other expenses decreased $0.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2023, primarily due to a decrease in stock compensation expense and management fee offset by an increase in expenses from real estate owned operations from an entire quarter's ownership of an office property acquired through a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure during the second quarter of 2023.
Credit Loss Expense
Credit loss expense decreased by $13.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2023. The decrease to our credit loss expense was primarily due to the realized losses on loan sales and an REO conversion of $117.5 million during the period as compared to $33.2 million during the prior quarter, which includes the reversal of previously recorded credit loss expense. This decrease was partially offset by an increase in our allowance for credit losses due to weakening credit indicators, rising interest rates, and an uncertain macroeconomic outlook. See Notes 3 and 15 to our Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Form 10-Q for additional details regarding our allowance for credit losses, risk ratings, and property type concentration risk.
Preferred Stock Dividends and Participating Securities Share in Earnings
During each of the three month periods ended September 30, 2023 and June 30, 2023, we declared and paid a cash dividend of $3.1 million related to our Series C Preferred Stock.
Dividends Declared Per Common Share
During the three months ended September 30, 2023, we declared cash dividends of $0.24 per common share, or $18.9 million. During the three months ended June 30, 2023, we declared cash dividends of $0.24 per common share, or $19.0 million.

Net Interest Income
Net interest income decreased $39.5 million to $67.4 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to $107.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The decrease was primarily due to an increase in the number of loans placed on non-accrual, including those on cost-recovery, which totaled eight throughout the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to none during the comparable period. Our weighted average interest rate floors increased from 0.85% as of September 30, 2022 to 1.06% as of September 30, 2023.
Other Revenue
Other revenue increased $15.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2022 primarily due to an increase in interest rates earned on our cash balances as well as revenue earned from real estate owned operations from an office property acquired through a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure during the second quarter of 2023.

Other expenses increased $0.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2022, primarily due to an increase in expenses from real estate owned operations of $4.9 million from an office property acquired through a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure during the second quarter of 2023 and an increase in stock compensation of $1.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the same period in 2022. This increase was partially offset by a decrease in incentive management fee expense of $5.2 million earned during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to no incentive management fee expense for the same period in 2023.
Gain on Sale of Real Estate Owned, net
During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, we sold a 10-acre parcel of REO property for net cash proceeds of $73.9 million and recognized a gain on sale of real estate owned, net of $13.3 million. We did not sell any real estate owned during the nine months ended September 30, 2023.
Credit Loss Expense
Credit loss expense decreased by $11.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2022, primarily due to a $172.7 million increase to our allowance for credit losses during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to a $183.8 million increase recognized during the comparable period. Additionally, during the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we recognized $150.6 million of realized losses from loan sales in addition to loan conversions to real estate owned. We increased our allowance for credit losses due to weakening credit indicators, rising interest rates, inflationary expectations, an uncertain macroeconomic outlook that informed a more conservative macroeconomic forecast used to estimate our potential future credit losses, weakening conditions in the capital markets and a decline in investment sales, and new loan investments offset by loan repayments in-full. See Notes 3 and 15 to our Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Form 10-Q for additional details regarding our allowance for credit losses, risk ratings, and property type concentration risk.
Preferred Stock Dividends and Participating Securities Share in Earnings
During each of the nine month periods ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, we declared and paid cash dividends of $9.4 million related to our Series C Preferred Stock.
Dividends Declared Per Common Share
During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we declared cash dividends of $0.72 per common share, or $56.9 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, we declared cash dividends of $0.72 per common share, or $56.1 million.

(1)The allocation of our unfunded loan commitments for our loans held for investment portfolio is based on the earlier of the commitment expiration date and the loan maturity date.
(2)Collateralized loan obligation liabilities are based on the fully extended maturity of mortgage loan collateral, considering the reinvestment window of our collateralized loan obligation.
(3)The allocation of secured credit agreements and secured revolving credit facility is based on the extended maturity date for those secured financing agreements where extensions are at our option, subject to no default, or the current maturity date of those facilities where extension options are subject to counterparty approval.
(4)The allocation of asset-specific financing arrangements are based on the extended maturity date for the specific arrangement or, in the case of the BMO Facility and the Institutional Lender 2 arrangement, the fully extended maturity date of the underlying mortgage loan collateral.
(5)Amounts include the related future interest payment obligations, which are estimated by assuming the amounts outstanding under our secured debt agreements, asset-specific financing arrangements and collateralized loan obligations and the interest rates in effect as of September 30, 2023 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 our related liabilities are indexed to Term SOFR.
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) exercising maturity date extension options that exist in our current financing arrangements; (ii) negotiating extensions of terms with our providers of credit; (iii) periodically accessing the private and public equity and debt capital markets to raise cash to fund new investments or the repayment of indebtedness; (iv) the issuance of additional structured finance vehicles, such as collateralized loan obligations similar to TRTX 2022-FL5, TRTX 2021-FL4, or TRTX 2019-FL3 as a method of financing; (v) term loans with private lenders; (vi) selling loans to generate cash to repay our debt obligations; and/or (vii) applying repayments from underlying loans to satisfy the debt obligations which they secure. Although these avenues have been available to us in the past, we cannot offer any assurance that we will be able to access any or all of these alternatives in the future.
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. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, our Manager did not earn an incentive management fee. 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. In 2017, the IRS issued a revenue procedure permitting “publicly offered” REITs to make elective stock dividends (i.e. dividends paid in a mixture of stock and cash), with at least 20% of the total distribution being paid in cash, to satisfy their REIT distribution requirements. Pursuant to this revenue procedure, we may elect to make future distributions of our taxable income in a mixture of stock and cash.
Our REIT taxable income does not necessarily equal our net income as calculated in accordance with GAAP or our Distributable Earnings as described above. See Note 9 to our Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Form 10-Q for additional details.

Dividends
Upon the approval of our Board of Directors, we accrue dividends. Dividends are paid first to the holders of our 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, then to the holder of our Series B Preferred Stock (which was redeemed in-full on June 16, 2021) at the rate of 11.0% per annum of the $25.00 per share liquidation preference, then to the holders of our Series C Preferred Stock at the rate of 6.25% per annum of the $25.00 per share liquidation preference, and then to the holders of our common stock, in each case, to the extent outstanding. We intend to distribute each year not less than 90% of our taxable income to our stockholders to comply with the REIT provisions of the Internal Revenue Code. The Board of Directors will determine whether to pay future dividends, entirely in cash, or in a combination of stock and cash based on facts and circumstances at the time such decisions are made.

Critical Accounting Policies and Use of Estimates
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 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 estimates could potentially produce materially different results if we were to change underlying estimates, judgments or assumptions. Except as discussed below, there have been no material changes to our Critical Accounting Policies and Use of Estimates as described within "Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" in our Form 10-K Filed with the SEC on February 21, 2023.
Allowance for Credit Losses
As discussed in Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 21, 2023, on January 1, 2020, we adopted Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses, and subsequent amendments, which replaced the incurred loss methodology with an expected loss model known as the Current Expected Credit Loss ("CECL") model. The initial CECL reserve recorded on January 1, 2020 is reflected as a direct charge to our retained earnings on the consolidated statements of changes in equity. Subsequent changes to the CECL reserve are recognized through net income on our consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income. The allowance for credit losses measured under the CECL accounting framework represents an estimate of current expected losses for our existing portfolio of loans held for investment and is presented as a valuation reserve on our consolidated balance sheets. Expected credit losses related to non-cancelable unfunded loan commitments are accounted for as separate liabilities included in accrued expenses and other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets. The allowance for credit losses for loans held for investment, as reported in our consolidated balance sheets, is adjusted by a credit loss (expense) benefit , which is reported in earnings in the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income and reduced by the write-off of loan amounts, net of recoveries and additions related to purchased credit-deteriorated (“PCD”) assets, if relevant. The allowance for credit losses includes a modeled component and an individually-assessed component. We have elected to not measure an allowance for credit losses on accrued interest receivables related to all of our loans held for investment because we write off uncollectible accrued interest receivable in a timely manner pursuant to our non-accrual policy.
We consider key credit quality indicators in underwriting loans and estimating credit losses, including but not limited to: the capitalization of borrowers and sponsors; the expertise of the borrowers and sponsors in a particular real estate sector and geographic market; collateral type; geographic region; use and occupancy of the property; property market value; loan-to-value (“LTV”) ratio; loan amount and lien position; debt service and coverage ratio; our risk rating for the same and similar loans; and prior experience with the borrower and sponsor. This information is used to assess the financial and operating capability, experience and profitability of the sponsor/borrower. Ultimate repayment of our loans is sensitive to interest rate changes, general economic conditions, liquidity, LTV ratio, existence of a liquid investment sales market for commercial properties, and availability of replacement short-term or long-term financing. The loans in our commercial mortgage loan portfolio are secured by collateral of the following property types: office; life science; multifamily; hotel; industrial; mixed-use; land for industrial and office use; and self storage.
Our loans are typically collateralized by real estate, or in the case of mezzanine loans, by a partnership interest or similar equity interest in the entity that owns the real estate securing our first mortgage loan. We regularly evaluate on a loan-by-loan basis, typically no less frequently than quarterly, the extent and impact of any credit deterioration associated with the performance and/or value of the underlying collateral property, and the financial and operating capability of the borrower/sponsor. We also evaluate the financial strength of loan guarantors, if any, and the borrower’s competency in managing and operating the property or properties. In addition, we consider the overall economic environment, real estate sector, and geographic sub-market in which the borrower operates. Such analyses are completed and reviewed by asset management personnel and evaluated by senior management, who utilize various data sources, including, to the extent available (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.

Table of Contents
Quarterly, we evaluate the risk of all loans and assign a risk rating based on a variety of factors, grouped as follows: (i) loan and credit structure, including the as-is LTV and structural features; (ii) quality and stability of real estate value and operating cash flow, including debt yield, property type, dynamics of the geography, 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:
1 -Very Low Risk
2 -Low Risk
3 -Medium Risk
4 -High Risk/Potential for Loss—A loan that has a risk of realizing a principal loss; and
5 -Default/Loss Likely—A loan that has a very high risk of realizing a principal loss or has otherwise incurred a principal loss.
We generally assign a risk rating of “3” to all loans originated or acquired during the most recent quarter, except when specific circumstances warrant an exception. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company simplified its risk rating definitions. The Company re-evaluated its risk ratings based on the simplified definitions and concluded that there was no impact to prior period risk ratings.
Our CECL reserve also reflects estimates of the current and future economic conditions that impact the performance of the commercial real estate assets securing the loans. These estimates include unemployment rates, inflation rates, interest rates, price indices for commercial property, current and expected future availability of liquidity in the commercial property debt and equity capital markets, and other macroeconomic factors that may influence the likelihood and magnitude of potential credit losses for our loans during their anticipated term. We license certain macroeconomic financial forecasts to inform our view of the potential future impact that broader economic conditions may have on our loan portfolio’s performance. Selection of the economic forecast or forecasts used, in conjunction with loan level inputs, to determine the CECL reserve requires significant judgment about future events that, while based on the information available to us as of the balance sheet date, are ultimately unknowable with certainty. The actual economic conditions impacting our loan portfolio could vary significantly from the estimates made for the periods presented.
The commercial property investment sales and commercial mortgage loan markets have experienced uneven liquidity due to global macroeconomic conditions, including heightened inflation, changes to fiscal and monetary policy, increased interest rates, currency fluctuations, labor shortages and recent distress in the banking sector, which continue to make it more difficult to estimate key inputs for estimating the allowance for credit losses. The amount of allowance for credit losses is influenced by the size of our loan portfolio, loan asset quality, risk rating, delinquency status, historic loss experience and other conditions influencing loss expectations, such as reasonable and supportable forecasts of economic conditions. We employ two methods to estimate credit losses in our loan portfolio: (1) a model-based approach and (2) an individually-assessed approach for loans considered to be "collateral-dependent" as the repayment of the loan is expected to be provided substantially through the operation or sale of the underlying collateral and the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty or foreclosure is probable. Estimates made by us are necessarily subject to change due to the limited number of observable inputs and uncertainty regarding the global macroeconomic conditions described above. See Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in this Form 10-Q for further discussion of our methodologies.
Significant judgment is required when estimating future credit losses and as a result actual losses over time could be materially different. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, we recognized a decrease and an increase of $41.7 million and $22.0 million, respectively, to our allowance for credit losses. The credit loss allowance was $236.6 million as of September 30, 2023.
See Note 2 to our Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Form 10-Q for a listing and description of our significant accounting policies.

(1)First mortgage loans are whole mortgage loans unless otherwise noted.
(2)Date loan was originated or acquired by us. The origination or acquisition date is not updated for subsequent loan modifications.
(3)Represents unpaid principal balance net of unamortized costs.
(4)In addition to the interest rate, all-in yield includes the amortization of deferred origination fees, purchase price premium and discount, and accrual of both extension and exit fees. All-in yield for our loan assets and total loan portfolio excludes the applicable floating benchmark interest rate as of September 30, 2023 and excludes the impact of our interest rate floors and borrower interest rate caps.
(5)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, 2023, based on unpaid principal balance, 11.2% of our loans were subject to yield maintenance or other prepayment restrictions and 88.8% were open to repayment by the borrower without penalty.
(6)Except for construction loans, LTV is calculated for loan originations and existing loans 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) divided by the as-is appraised value of our collateral at the time of origination or acquisition of such loan or participation interest. For construction loans only, LTV is calculated as the total commitment amount of the loan divided by the as-stabilized value of the real estate securing the loan. The as-is or as-stabilized (as applicable) value reflects our Manager’s estimates, at the time of origination or acquisition of the 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.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Investment Portfolio Risks
Interest Rate Risk
Our business model seeks to minimize our exposure to changing interest rates by matching duration of our assets and liabilities and match-indexing our assets using the same, or similar, benchmark indices. Accordingly, rising interest rates will generally increase our net interest income, while declining interest rates will generally decrease our net interest income, subject to the impact of interest rate floors embedded in substantially all of our loans. As of September 30, 2023, the weighted average interest rate floor for our loan portfolio was 1.06%. As of September 30, 2023, all of our loans by unpaid principal balance earned a floating rate of interest, subject to the impact of embedded interest rate floors, and were financed with liabilities that require interest payments based on floating rates. As of September 30, 2023, less than 1.8% of our liabilities do not contain interest rate floors greater than zero.
The following table illustrates the impact on our interest income and interest expense, for the twelve-month period following September 30, 2023, of an immediate increase or decrease in the underlying benchmark interest rate of 25, 50 and 75 basis points on our existing floating rate loans held for investment portfolio and related liabilities (dollars in thousands):

__________________________
(1)As of September 30, 2023, all of our floating rate mortgage loan assets and all of our floating rate mortgage loan liabilities were subject to Term SOFR as the benchmark interest rate.
(2)Floating rate liabilities include secured credit agreements, a secured revolving credit facility, asset-specific financing arrangements, and collateralized loan obligations.
Credit Risk
Our loans 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.

Table of Contents
Extension Risk
Our Manager computes the projected weighted average life of our assets based on assumptions regarding the pace at which individual borrowers will prepay the mortgages or extend. If prepayment speeds decrease in a rising interest rate environment or extension options are exercised, the life of our loan investments could extend beyond the term of the secured debt agreements we use to finance our loan investments, except for our CRE CLOs for which the obligation to repay liabilities is tied to the repayment of underlying loans held by the CRE CLO trust. We expect that higher interest rates imposed by the Federal Reserve to rein in inflation may lead to a decrease in prepayment speeds and an increase in the number of our borrowers who exercise extension options, especially for loans involving office and hotel properties. 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.
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, establishing interest reserves in our loans and requiring substantially all of our borrowers to purchase an interest rate cap contract for all, or substantially all, of the initial 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.
Operating and Capital Market Risks
Liquidity Risk
Liquidity is a measure of our ability to meet potential cash requirements, including ongoing commitments to repay borrowings including margin calls, fund and maintain investments, pay dividends to our stockholders and other general business needs. Our liquidity risk is principally associated with our financing of longer-maturity investments with shorter-term borrowings in the form of secured credit agreements. We are subject to “margin call” risk under our secured credit agreements. In the event that the value of our assets pledged as collateral decreases as a result of changes in credit spreads or interest rates, or due to an other-than-temporary decline in the value of the collateral securing our pledged loan, margin calls relating to our secured credit agreements could increase, causing an adverse change in our liquidity position. Additionally, if one or more of our secured credit agreement counterparties chooses not to provide ongoing funding, we may be unable to replace the financing through other lenders on favorable terms or at all. As such, we provide no assurance that we will be able to roll over or replace our secured credit agreements as they mature from time to time in the future. We maintain frequent dialogue with the lenders under our secured credit agreements regarding our management of their collateral assets.
In some situations, we have in the past, and may in the future, decide to sell assets to adjust our portfolio construction or maintain adequate liquidity. Market disruptions may lead to a significant decline in transaction activity in all or a significant portion of the asset classes in which we invest and may at the same time lead to a significant contraction in short-term and long-term debt and equity funding sources. A decline in market liquidity of real estate-related investments, as well as a lack of availability of observable transaction data and inputs, may make it more difficult to sell assets or determine their fair values. As a result, we may be unable to sell investments, or only be able to sell investments at a price that may be materially different from the fair values presented. Also, in such conditions, there is no guarantee that our borrowing arrangements or other arrangements for obtaining leverage will continue to be available or, if available, will be available on terms and conditions acceptable to us.

Capital Markets Risk
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 credit agreements, secured revolving credit facilities, collateralized loan obligations, mortgage loans, term loans, or other debt instruments or arrangements. 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.
Global macroeconomic conditions, including, without limitation, heightened inflation, changes to fiscal and monetary policy, increased interest rates, stress to the commercial banking systems of the U.S. and Western Europe, currency fluctuations, and labor shortages, have contributed to increased volatility in public debt and equity markets, increased cost of funds and reduced availability of efficient debt capital, factors which caused us to reduce our investment activity in the first half of 2023, and may cause us to restrain our investment activity in the future.
Counterparty Risk
The nature of our business requires us to hold our cash and cash equivalents with, 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 seek to mitigate this exposure by depositing our cash and cash equivalents and entering into financing agreements with what we believe to be 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.
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.
