REPORTS FIRST QUARTER 2025 RESULTS
New York, NY, April 24, 2025 – Apollo Commercial Real Estate Finance, Inc. (the “Company” or “ARI”) (NYSE:ARI) today reported results for the quarter ended March 31, 2025.
Net income attributable to common stockholders per diluted share of common stock was $0.16 for the quarter ended March 31, 2025. Distributable Earnings per diluted share of common stock (a non-GAAP financial measure defined below) was $0.24 for the quarter ended March 31, 2025.
Commenting on first quarter 2025 performance, Stuart Rothstein, Chief Executive Officer and President of the Company, said:
“ARI’s first quarter earnings reflect the impact of elevated repayments at the end of fourth quarter of 2024 and the timing of our first quarter capital deployment, which totaled $650 million,” said Stuart Rothstein, Chief Executive Officer and President of ARI. “We continue to make progress with our focus assets and remain focused on redeploying the capital into newly originated loans.”
ARI issued a detailed presentation of the Company’s quarter ended March 31, 2025 results, which can be viewed at www.apollocref.com.

Distributable Earnings
“Distributable Earnings,” a non-GAAP financial measure, is defined as net income available to common stockholders, computed in accordance with GAAP, adjusted for (i) equity-based compensation expense (a portion of which may become cash-based upon final vesting and settlement of awards should the holder elect net share settlement to satisfy income tax withholding), (ii) any unrealized gains or losses or other non-cash items (including depreciation and amortization related to real estate owned) included in net income available to common stockholders, (iii) unrealized income from unconsolidated joint ventures, (iv) foreign currency gains (losses), other than (a) realized gains/(losses) related to interest income, and (b) forward point gains/(losses) realized on the Company’s foreign currency hedges, and (v) provision for current expected credit losses.
As a REIT, U.S. federal income tax law generally requires the Company to distribute annually at least 90% of its REIT taxable income, without regard to the deduction for dividends paid and excluding net capital gains, and that the Company pay tax at regular corporate rates to the extent that it annually distributes less than 100% of its net taxable income. Given these requirements and the Company’s belief that dividends are generally one of the principal reasons shareholders invest in a REIT, the Company generally intends over time to pay dividends to its stockholders in an amount equal to its net taxable income, if and to the extent authorized by the Company’s board of directors. Distributable Earnings is a key factor considered by the Company’s board of directors in setting the dividend and as such the Company believes Distributable Earnings is useful to investors.
The Company believes it is useful to its investors to also present Distributable Earnings prior to net realized loss on investments, in applicable periods, to reflect its operating results because (i) the Company’s operating results are primarily comprised of earning interest income on its investments net of borrowing and administrative costs, which comprise the Company’s ongoing operations and (ii) it has been a useful factor related to the Company’s dividend per share because it is one of the considerations when a dividend is determined. The Company believes that its investors use Distributable Earnings and Distributable Earnings prior to net realized loss on investments or a comparable supplemental performance measure, to evaluate and compare the performance of the Company and its peers.
During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company recorded no realized losses in the consolidated statement of operations.
A significant limitation associated with Distributable Earnings as a measure of the Company’s financial performance over any period is that it excludes unrealized gains (losses) from investments. In addition, the Company’s presentation of Distributable Earnings may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies, that use different calculations. As a result, Distributable Earnings should not be considered as a substitute for the Company’s GAAP net income as a measure of its financial performance or any measure of its liquidity under GAAP. Distributable Earnings are reduced for realized losses on loans which include losses that management believes are near certain to be realized.
A reconciliation of Distributable Earnings to GAAP net income (loss) available to common stockholders is included in the detailed presentation of the Company’s quarter ended March 31, 2025 results, which can be viewed at www.apollocref.com.

Footnotes 1. Distributable Earnings is a non-GAAP financial measure that we define as net income available to common stockholders, computed in accordance with GAAP, adjusted for (i) equity-based compensation expense (a portion of which may become cash-based upon final vesting and settlement of awards should the holder elect net share settlement to satisfy income tax withholding), (ii) any unrealized gains or losses or other non-cash items (including depreciation and amortization on real estate owned) included in net income available to common stockholders, (iii) unrealized income from unconsolidated joint ventures, (iv) foreign currency gains (losses), other than (a) realized gains/(losses) related to interest income, and (b) forward point gains/(losses) realized on our foreign currency hedges, and (v) provision for current expected credit losses. Please see page 21 for a reconciliation of GAAP net income to Distributable Earnings. 2. Reflects closing share price on April 23, 2025. 3. Weighted Average Unlevered All-in Yield on the loan portfolio is based on the applicable benchmark rates as of period end on the floating rate loans and includes accrual of origination, extension, and exit fees. For non-US deals, yield excludes incremental forward points impact from currency hedging. 4. Includes a $41 million held-for-sale corporate note. 5. Add-on fundings represent fundings subsequent to loan closing. 6. We believe it is useful to our investors to present Distributable Earnings prior to net realized losses on investments to reflect our operating results because (i) our operating results are primarily comprised of earning interest income on our investments net of borrowing and administrative costs, which comprise our ongoing operations and (ii) it has been a useful factor related to our dividend per share because it is one of the considerations when a dividend is determined. We believe that our investors use Distributable Earnings and Distributable Earnings prior to net realized loss on investments, or a comparable supplemental performance measure, to evaluate and compare the performance of our company and our peers. 7. Book value per share, or “BVPS”, of common stock is common stockholders’ equity divided by shares of common stock outstanding. 8. Amounts and percentages may not foot due to rounding. 9. Other includes changes in General CECL Allowance, cost recovery interest, and the accretion of loan costs and fees. 10. Based on loan amortized cost, net of Specific CECL Allowance. 11. Assumes exercise of all extension options. There is no assurance that all or any extension options will be exercised. 12. Gross of $35 million of General CECL Allowance. 13. Amortized cost for these loans is net of the recorded Specific CECL Allowances. 14. Loans are secured by the same property. 15. Represents total debt, less cash and net loan proceeds held by servicer, divided by total stockholders' equity, adjusted to add back the General CECL Allowance in line with our covenants. 16. Future funding dates and amounts are based upon the Manager’s estimates, which are derived from the best information available to the Manager at the time. There is no assurance that the payments will occur in accordance with these estimates or at all, which could affect our operating results. 17. Excludes risk-rated 5 loans. 18. Any such hypothetical impact on interest rates on our variable rate borrowings does not consider the effect of any change in overall economic activity that could occur in a rising interest rate environment. Further, in the event of a change in interest rates of that magnitude, we may take actions to further mitigate our exposure to such a change. However, due to the uncertainty of the specific actions that would be taken and their possible effects, this analysis assumes no changes in our financial structure. There is no assurance that there will be no changes in our financial structure. The analysis incorporates movements in USD, GBP and EUR benchmark rates only. 19. Unvested RSUs are net of incremental shares assumed repurchased under the treasury stock method, if dilutive. For the three months ended March 31, 2025, 352,814 incremental shares were included in the calculation of diluted net income per share because the effect was dilutive. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, 423,784 incremental shares were excluded in the calculation of diluted net income per share because the effect was anti-dilutive. 22
