NOTE 1 — ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS
CIM Real Estate Finance Trust, Inc. (the “Company”) is a non-exchange traded real estate investment trust (“REIT”) formed as a Maryland corporation on July 27, 2010, that elected to be taxed, and operates its business to qualify, as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes beginning with its taxable year ended December 31, 2012. The Company seeks to attain attractive risk-adjusted returns and create long term value for its investors by investing in a diversified portfolio of senior secured mortgage loans, creditworthy long-term net-leased property investments and other senior loan and liquid credit investments. As of June 30, 2025, the Company’s loan portfolio consisted of 73 loans with a net book value of $3.2 billion, and investments in real estate-related securities and other of $295.2 million. The Company conducts its commercial real estate lending business through CIM Commercial Lending REIT (“CLR”), a Maryland statutory trust and subsidiary of the Company which the Company expects to be taxed as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes. As of June 30, 2025, CLR holds a diversified portfolio of approximately $1.5 billion which includes first mortgage loans with a net book value of $1.1 billion, commercial mortgage-backed securities (“CMBS”) with an estimated fair value of $195.3 million, and an investment in the Unconsolidated Joint Venture (as defined in Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies) with a carrying value of $155.4 million. As of June 30, 2025, the Company owned 185 commercial real estate properties, comprising approximately 6.6 million rentable square feet of commercial space located in 36 states. As of June 30, 2025, the rentable square feet at these properties was 94.9 % leased, including month-to-month agreements, if any. As of June 30, 2025, the Company owned condominium developments with a net book value of $33.3 million.
A majority of the Company’s business is conducted through CIM Real Estate Finance Operating Partnership, LP, a Delaware limited partnership, of which the Company is the sole general partner and owns, directly or indirectly, 100 % of the partnership interests.
The Company is externally managed by CIM Real Estate Finance Management, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“CMFT Management”), which is an affiliate of CIM Group, LLC (“CIM Group”). CIM Group is a vertically-integrated community-focused real estate and infrastructure owner, operator, lender and developer. CIM Group is headquartered in Los Angeles, California and has offices in Atlanta, Georgia, Chicago, Illinois, Dallas, Texas, New York, New York, Orlando, Florida, Phoenix, Arizona, London, UK and Tokyo, Japan. CIM Group also maintains additional offices with distribution staff and joint venture partnerships.
The Company relies upon CIM Capital IC Management, LLC, the Company’s investment advisor (the “Investment Advisor”), to provide substantially all of the day-to-day management of its subsidiary, CMFT Securities Investments, LLC (“CMFT Securities”), with respect to investments in securities and certain other investments held by CMFT Securities and its subsidiaries. Collectively, CMFT Management, the Company’s manager, and the Investment Advisor, together with certain other affiliates of CIM Group, serve as the Company’s sponsor, which is referred to as the Company’s “sponsor” or “CIM”.
On January 26, 2012, the Company commenced its initial public offering on a “best efforts” basis of up to a maximum of $2.975 billion in shares of common stock (the “Initial Offering”). The Company ceased issuing shares in the Initial Offering on April 4, 2014. At the completion of the Initial Offering, a total of approximately 297.4 million shares of common stock had been issued, including approximately 292.3 million shares of common stock sold to the public pursuant to the primary portion of the Initial Offering and approximately 5.1 million shares of common stock issued pursuant to the distribution reinvestment plan (“DRIP”) portion of the Initial Offering. The remaining approximately 404,000 unsold shares from the Initial Offering were deregistered.
The Company registered $247.0 million of shares of common stock under the DRIP (the “Initial DRIP Offering”) pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-3 (Registration No. 333-192958), which was filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on December 19, 2013 and automatically became effective with the SEC upon filing. The Company ceased issuing shares under the Initial DRIP Offering effective as of June 30, 2016. At the completion of the Initial DRIP Offering, a total of approximately $241.7 million of shares of common stock had been issued. The remaining $5.3 million of unsold shares from the Initial DRIP Offering were deregistered.
The Company registered an additional $600.0 million of shares of common stock under the DRIP (the “Secondary DRIP Offering,” and together with the Initial DRIP Offering, the “DRIP Offerings,” and the DRIP Offerings collectively with the Initial Offering, the “Offerings”) pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-3 (Registration No. 333-212832), which was

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2025 (Unaudited) – (Continued)
filed with the SEC on August 2, 2016 and automatically became effective with the SEC upon filing. The Company began to issue shares under the Secondary DRIP Offering on August 2, 2016 and continues to issue shares under the Secondary DRIP Offering.
The Company’s board of directors (the “Board”) establishes an updated estimated per share net asset value (“NAV”) of the Company’s common stock on at least an annual basis for purposes of assisting broker-dealers that participated in the Initial Offering in meeting their customer account reporting obligations under Financial Industry Regulatory Authority Rule 2231. Distributions are reinvested in shares of the Company’s common stock for participants in the DRIP at the estimated per share NAV as determined by the Board. Additionally, the estimated per share NAV as determined by the Board serves as the per share NAV for purposes of the share redemption program. As of June 30, 2025, the most recent estimated per share NAV of the Company’s common stock was $5.22 5.22 5.22
NOTE 2 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The summary of significant accounting policies presented below is designed to assist in understanding the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. These accounting policies conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) in all material respects, and have been consistently applied in preparing the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.
Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation
The condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC regarding interim financial reporting, including the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X, and do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, the statements for the interim periods presented include all adjustments, which are of a normal and recurring nature, necessary for a fair presentation of the results for such periods. Results for these interim periods are not necessarily indicative of full year results. The information included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2024, and related notes thereto, set forth in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. The condensed consolidated financial statements should also be read in conjunction with Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
In determining whether the Company has controlling interests in an entity and is required to consolidate the accounts in that entity, the Company analyzes its credit and real estate investments in accordance with standards set forth in GAAP to determine whether the entities are variable interest entities (“VIEs”), and if so, whether the Company is the primary beneficiary. The Company’s judgment with respect to its level of influence or control over an entity and whether the Company is the primary beneficiary of a VIE involves consideration of various factors, including the form of the Company’s ownership interest, the Company’s voting interest, the size of the Company’s investment (including loans), and the Company’s ability to participate in major policy-making decisions. The Company will reassess its initial evaluation of whether an entity is a VIE when certain reconsideration events occur. The Company’s ability to correctly assess its influence or control over an entity affects the presentation of these credit and real estate investments on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.
As of June 30, 2025, CLR is a VIE that is consolidated by the Company as the primary beneficiary, as the Company has the ability to direct the activities of CLR and the obligation to absorb CLR’s losses through its guarantee of CLR’s indebtedness, which is significant to CLR. The non-controlling interest on the condensed consolidated balance sheets represents the equity interests in CLR owned by outside investors. As of June 30, 2025, CLR’s loan portfolio consisted of senior secured mortgage loans with a net book value of $1.1 billion and investments in real estate-related securities of $195.3 million. In addition, as of June 30, 2025, the carrying value of CLR’s investment in CIM NP JV Holdings, LLC (“NP JV Holdings”) was $155.4 million. CLR had $934.3 million of debt outstanding, as of June 30, 2025.

CIM REAL ESTATE FINANCE TRUST, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2025 (Unaudited) – (Continued)
During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company sold a portion of the Company’s portfolio of liquid corporate senior loans with an aggregate principal balance of $265.4 million to OFSI BSL XIV CLO, Ltd., an exempted company incorporated with limited liability under the laws of the Cayman Islands, resulting in net proceeds of $259.7 million after closing costs and a loss of $2.9 million. The collateral manager for OFSI BSL XIV CLO, Ltd. is OFS CLO Management II, LLC, an affiliate of the Sub-Advisor (as defined in Note 11 — Related-Party Transactions and Arrangements). The Company does not maintain effective control over the liquid corporate senior loans and the Company does not have the ability, nor the requirement, to repurchase the liquid corporate senior loans. The liquid corporate senior loans served as the initial positions for the formation of a collateralized loan obligation (“CLO”), in which the Company subsequently invested $27.6 million in a subordinated note (the “CLO subordinated note”). The CLO is a VIE, given the insufficient equity at risk, evidenced by the tranched capital structure and multiple series of debt instruments issued. However, the Company, through its investment in the CLO subordinated note, lacks the ability to direct the activities that most significantly affect the entity’s economic performance. Additionally, the collateral manager, which does direct the activities that most significantly affect the entity’s economic performance, was deemed to not be under common control with the Company. As such, the Company was determined to not be the primary beneficiary and the CLO is not consolidated on the Company’s financial statements. As of June 30, 2025, the fair value of the CLO subordinated note is $23.1 million and is included in real estate-related securities and other on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets.
For more information, refer to Note 7 — Real Estate-Related Securities and Other.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Real Estate Assets
Real estate assets are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization. The Company considers the period of future benefit of each respective asset to determine the appropriate useful life. The estimated useful lives of the Company’s real estate assets by class are generally as follows:
| Buildings | |||||
| Site improvements | |||||
| Tenant improvements | Lesser of useful life or lease term | ||||
| Intangible lease assets | Lease term | ||||
The Company may assume legal title or physical possession of the collateral underlying a loan through a foreclosure or the execution of a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure. The acquired property is initially recognized at fair value in accordance with the asset acquisition provisions under the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”), Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 805, Business Combinations (“ASC 805”) within total real estate assets, net on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet when the Company assumes legal title or physical possession. The value of acquired property is allocated based on the relative fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, including, but not limited to, land, building, furniture and fixtures, and intangibles. For additional information, refer to Note 4 — Real Estate Assets.
Recoverability of Real Estate Assets
The Company continually monitors events and changes in circumstances that could indicate that the carrying amounts of its real estate assets may not be recoverable. Impairment indicators that the Company considers include, but are not limited to: bankruptcy or other credit concerns of a property’s major tenant, such as a history of late payments, lease concessions and other factors; a significant decrease in a property’s revenues due to lease terminations; vacancies; co-tenancy clauses; reduced lease rates; changes in anticipated holding periods; significant increases to budgeted costs for units under development; and a reduction in prevailing market values for assets being considered for disposition. When indicators of potential impairment are present, the Company assesses the recoverability of the assets by determining whether the carrying amount of the assets will be recovered through the undiscounted future cash flows expected from the use of the assets and their eventual disposition. In the event that such expected undiscounted future cash flows do not exceed the carrying amount, the Company will adjust the real estate assets to their respective fair values and recognize an impairment loss. Generally, fair value is determined using a

Assets Held for Sale
When a real estate asset is identified by the Company as held for sale, the Company will cease recording depreciation and amortization of the assets related to the property and estimate its fair value, net of selling costs. If, based on management’s best estimate, the fair value, net of selling costs, of the asset is less than the carrying amount of the asset, an adjustment to the carrying amount is then recorded to reflect the estimated fair value of the property, net of selling costs.
Dispositions of Real Estate Assets
Allocation of Purchase Price of Real Estate Assets
Upon the acquisition of real properties or after taking control of real assets through deeds-in-lieu of foreclosure as described above, the Company allocates the purchase price to acquired tangible assets, consisting of land, buildings and improvements, and to identified intangible assets and liabilities, consisting of the value of above- and below-market leases and the value of in-place leases and other intangibles, based in each case on their relative fair values. The Company utilizes independent appraisals to assist in the determination of the fair values of the tangible assets of an acquired property (which includes land and buildings). The information in the appraisal, along with any additional information available to the Company’s management, is used in estimating the amount of the purchase price that is allocated to land. Other information in the appraisal, such as building value and market rents, may be used by the Company’s management in estimating the allocation of purchase price to the building and to intangible lease assets and liabilities. The appraisal firm has no involvement in management’s allocation decisions other than providing this market information.
The determination of the fair values of the real estate assets and liabilities acquired requires the use of significant assumptions with regard to the current market rental rates, rental growth rates, capitalization and discount rates, interest rates and other variables. The use of alternative estimates may result in a different allocation of the Company’s purchase price, which could materially impact the Company’s results of operations.
Investment in Unconsolidated Entities
The Company is engaged in an unconsolidated joint venture arrangement through NP JV Holdings (the “Unconsolidated Joint Venture”), of which it owns, indirectly through CMFT MT JV Holdings, LLC and CLR NP Holdings, LLC, a subsidiary of CLR, approximately 50 % of the outstanding equity. Through the Unconsolidated Joint Venture, which holds approximately 93 % of the membership interest in NewPoint JV, LLC (the “NewPoint JV”) pursuant to the terms of the Operating Agreement entered into between the Unconsolidated Joint Venture and NewPoint Bridge Lending, LLC, the Company indirectly owns approximately 46 % of the outstanding equity of the NewPoint JV on a fully diluted basis. The Company accounts for its investment under the equity method. The equity method of accounting requires the investment to be initially recorded at cost, including transaction costs incurred to finalize the investment, and is subsequently adjusted for the Company’s share of equity

in NP JV Holdings’ earnings and distributions, including unrealized gains and losses as a result of changes in fair value of the NewPoint JV. The Company records its share of NP JV Holdings’ profits or losses on a quarterly basis as an adjustment to the carrying value of the investment on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet and such share is recognized as a profit or loss on the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
For more information, refer to Note 6 — Investment in Unconsolidated Entities.
Restricted Cash
The Company had $3.4 million and $3.9 million in restricted cash as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. Included in restricted cash was $1.4 million and $1.9 million held by lenders in lockbox accounts, as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. As part of certain of the Company’s debt agreements, rents from certain encumbered properties and interest income from certain first mortgage loans are deposited directly into a lockbox account, from which the monthly debt service payment is disbursed to the lender and the excess is disbursed to the Company. Also included in restricted cash was $2.0
Real Estate-Related Securities and Other
Real estate-related securities and other consists primarily of the Company’s investments in CMBS, CLOs and equity securities. The Company determines the appropriate classification for real estate-related securities at the time of purchase and reevaluates such designation as of each balance sheet date.
As of June 30, 2025, the Company classified its investments in CMBS and CLO as available-for-sale as the Company is not actively trading the securities; however, the Company may sell them prior to their maturity. These investments are carried at their estimated fair value with unrealized gains and losses reported in other comprehensive (loss) income. The amortized cost of the Company’s CMBS is adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts to maturity computed under the effective interest method. The amortized cost of the Company’s CLO subordinated note reflects accretion of interest income based on the effective yield method less any cash distributions received or entitled to be received. CLO subordinated note positions are entitled to recurring distributions, which are generally equal to the residual cash flows of payments received on underlying securities less contractual payments to debt holders and fund expenses.
The Company monitors its CMBS and CLO for changes in fair value. A loss is recognized when the Company determines that a decline in the estimated fair value of a security below its amortized cost has resulted from a credit loss or other factors, such as market conditions. Such losses that are credit related are recorded as a current expected credit loss in increase in provision for credit losses on the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations. Subsequent cumulative adverse changes in expected cash flows on the Company’s CMBS and CLO are recognized as an increase to current expected credit losses. However, the allowance is limited to the amount by which the CMBS and CLO’s amortized cost exceeds its fair value. Favorable changes in expected cash flows are recognized as a decrease to current expected credit losses. For additional information regarding the Company’s process for estimating current expected credit losses for its real estate-related securities, see the Current Expected Credit Losses section below.
Interest earned is either received in cash or capitalized to CMBS in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets. Interest is capitalized when certain conditions are met as specified in each security agreement.
Loans Held-for-Investment
The Company’s loans held-for-investment include loans related to real estate assets, as well as credit investments, including commercial mortgage loans and other loans and securities related to commercial real estate assets, as well as corporate loan opportunities that are consistent with the Company’s investment strategy and objectives. The Company intends to hold the loans held-for-investment for the foreseeable future or until maturity. Loans held-for-investment are carried on the
14
CIM REAL ESTATE FINANCE TRUST, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2025 (Unaudited) – (Continued)
Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets at amortized cost, net of any current expected credit losses and are adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts to maturity.
Interest earned is either received in cash or capitalized to loans held-for-investment and related receivables, net in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets. Interest is capitalized when certain conditions are met as specified in each loan agreement.
Loans that are past due 90 days or more as to principal or interest, or where reasonable doubt exists as to timely collection, are generally considered nonperforming and placed on nonaccrual status. See the Revenue Recognition section below for additional information regarding the Company’s revenue from lending activities.
Current Expected Credit Losses
Current expected credit losses (“CECL”) required under the FASB, ASC Topic 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (“ASC 326”), reflects the Company’s current estimate of potential credit losses related to the Company’s loans held-for-investment, CMBS and CLO included in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Changes to current expected credit losses are recognized through net income on the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations. While ASC 326 does not require any particular method for determining current expected credit losses, it does specify current expected credit losses should be based on relevant information about past events, including historical loss experience, current portfolio and market conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts for the duration of each respective loan. In addition, other than a few narrow exceptions, ASC 326 requires that all financial instruments subject to the credit loss model should have some amount of loss reserve to reflect the GAAP framework underlying the credit loss model that all loans, debt securities, and similar assets have some inherent risk of loss, regardless of credit quality, subordinate capital, or other mitigating factors.
The Company estimates the current expected credit loss for its first mortgage loans primarily using the Weighted Average Remaining Maturity method, which has been identified as an acceptable method for estimating CECL reserves in the FASB Staff Q&A Topic 326, No. 1. This method requires the Company to reference historic loan loss data across a comparable data set and apply such loss rate to each loan investment over its expected remaining term, taking into consideration expected economic conditions over the relevant timeframe. The Company considers loan investments that are both (i) expected to be substantially repaid through the operation or sale of the underlying collateral, and (ii) for which the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty, to be “collateral-dependent” loans. For such loans that the Company determines that foreclosure of the collateral is probable, the Company measures the expected losses based on the difference between the fair value of the collateral less costs to sell and the amortized cost basis of the loan as of the measurement date. For collateral-dependent loans that the Company determines foreclosure is not probable, the Company applies a practical expedient to estimate expected losses using the difference between the collateral’s fair value and the amortized cost basis of the loan. For the Company’s liquid corporate senior loans and corporate senior loans, the Company uses a probability of default and loss given default method using a comparable data set. The Company may use other acceptable alternative approaches in the future depending on, among other factors, the type of loan, underlying collateral, and availability of relevant historical market loan loss data. The Company only expects to charge-off impairment losses as a reduction to current expected credit losses and as a reduction to the respective loan balance if and when such amounts are deemed non-recoverable. This is generally at the time a loan is repaid or foreclosed. However, non-recoverability may also be concluded if, in the Company’s determination, it is nearly certain that all amounts due will not be collected.
Quarterly, the Company evaluates the risk of all loans held-for-investment and assigns a risk rating based on a variety of factors, grouped as follows: (i) loan and credit structure, including the as-is loan-to-value (“LTV”) ratio and structural features; (ii) quality and stability of real estate value and operating cash flow, including debt yield, 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, the Company’s loans are rated “1” through “5,” from least risk to greatest risk, respectively, which ratings are defined as follows:
1-Outperform — Most satisfactory asset quality and liquidity, good leverage capacity. A “1” rating maintains predictable and strong cash flows from operations. The trends and outlook for the credit’s operations, balance sheet, and industry are neutral to favorable. Collateral, if appropriate, exceeds performance metrics;
2-Meets or Exceeds Expectations — Acceptable asset quality, moderate excess liquidity, modest leverage capacity. A “2” rating could have some financial/non-financial weaknesses which are offset by strengths; however, the
15
CIM REAL ESTATE FINANCE TRUST, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2025 (Unaudited) – (Continued)
credit demonstrates an ample current cash flow from operations. The trends and outlook for the credit’s operations, balance sheet, and industry are generally positive or neutral. Collateral performance, if appropriate, meets or exceeds substantially all performance metrics included in original or current underwriting / business plan;
3-Satisfactory — Acceptable asset quality, somewhat strained liquidity, minimal leverage capacity. A “3” rating is at times characterized by acceptable cash flows from operations. The trends and conditions of the credit’s operations and balance sheet are neutral. Collateral performance, if appropriate, meets or is on track to meet underwriting; business plan can reasonably be achieved;
4-Underperformance — The debt investment possesses credit deficiencies or potential weaknesses which deserve management’s close and continued attention. The obligor’s operations and/or balance sheet have demonstrated an adverse trend or deterioration which, while serious, has not reached the point where the liquidation of debt is jeopardized. These weaknesses are generally considered correctable by the borrower in the normal course of business but may weaken the asset or inadequately protect the Company’s credit position if not checked or corrected. Collateral performance, if appropriate, falls short of original underwriting, material differences exist from business plan, or both; technical milestones have been missed; defaults may exist, or may soon occur absent material improvement; and
5-Default/Possibility of Loss — The debt investment is protected inadequately by the current enterprise value or paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral, if any. The underlying company’s operations have well-defined weaknesses based upon objective evidence, such as recurring or significant decreases in revenues and cash flows. Major variance from business plan; loan covenants or technical milestones have been breached; timely exit from loan via sale or refinancing is questionable; risk of principal loss. Collateral performance, if appropriate, is significantly worse than underwriting.
The Company generally assigns a risk rating of “3” to all newly originated or acquired loans held-for-investment during a most recent quarter, except in the case of specific circumstances warranting an exception.
In estimating credit losses related to real estate-related securities, management considers a variety of factors, including, but not limited to, the extent to which the fair value is less than the amortized cost basis, recent events specific to the security, industry or geographic area, the payment structure of the security, the failure of the issuer of the security to make scheduled interest or principal payments, and external credit ratings and recent changes in such ratings. Credit losses, if any, are estimated by calculating the difference between (i) the present value of estimated cash flows expected to be collected from the security discounted at the yield determined as of the initial acquisition date or, if since revised, as of the last date previously revised, and (ii) the net amortized cost basis of the security. Significant judgment is used in estimating future cash flows for the Company’s real estate-related securities.
Leases
The Company has lease agreements with lease and non-lease components. The Company has elected to not separate non-lease components from lease components for all classes of underlying assets (primarily real estate assets) and will account for the combined components as rental and other property income. Non-lease components included in rental and other property income include certain tenant reimbursements for maintenance services (including common-area maintenance services or “CAM”), real estate taxes, insurance and utilities paid for by the lessor but consumed by the lessee. As a lessor, the Company has further determined that this policy will be effective only on a lease that has been classified as an operating lease and the revenue recognition pattern and timing is the same for both types of components. The Company is not a party to any material leases where it is the lessee.
Significant judgments and assumptions are inherent in not only determining if a contract contains a lease, but also the lease classification, terms, payments, and, if needed, discount rates. Judgments include the nature of any options, including if they will be exercised, evaluation of implicit discount rates and the assessment and consideration of “fixed” payments for straight-line rent revenue calculations.

Development Activities
Project costs and expenses, including interest incurred, associated with the development, construction and lease-up of a real estate project are capitalized as construction in progress. For additional information, refer to Note 4 — Real Estate Assets.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue from leasing activities
Rental and other property income is primarily derived from fixed contractual payments from operating leases and, therefore, is generally recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease, which typically begins the date the tenant takes control of the space. When the Company acquires a property, the terms of existing leases are considered to commence as of the acquisition date for the purpose of this calculation. Variable rental and other property income consists primarily of tenant reimbursements for recoverable real estate taxes and operating expenses which are included in rental and other property income in the period when such costs are incurred, with offsetting expenses in real estate taxes and property operating expenses, respectively, within the condensed consolidated statements of operations. The Company defers the recognition of variable rental and other property income, such as percentage rents, until the specific target that triggers the contingent rental income is achieved.
The Company continually reviews whether collection of future lease payments and current and future operating expense reimbursements from tenants are probable. The determination of whether collectability is probable takes into consideration the tenant’s payment history, the financial condition of the tenant, business conditions in the industry in which the tenant operates and economic conditions in the area in which the property is located. Upon the determination that the collectability of future lease payments is not probable, the Company will record a reduction to rental and other property income for amounts previously recorded and a decrease in the outstanding receivable. Revenue from leases where collection is deemed to be not probable is recorded on a cash basis until collectability becomes probable. Management’s estimate of the collectability of lease-related receivables is based on the best information available at the time of estimate. The Company does not use a general reserve approach and lease-related receivables are adjusted and taken against rental and other property income only when collectability becomes not probable.
Revenue from lending activities
Interest income from the Company’s loans held-for-investment and CMBS is recognized using the effective interest method (or the modified straight-line method when it is materially consistent with the effective interest method). Interest income is comprised of interest earned on credit investments and the accretion and amortization of net loan origination fees, other fees and discounts recognized through the life of each investment. Interest income on loans is accrued as earned, with the accrual of interest suspended when the related loan becomes a nonaccrual loan. Interest income on the Company’s liquid corporate senior loans and corporate senior loans is accrued as earned beginning on the settlement date. Upon the sale of a security, the realized net gain or loss is computed on the specific identification method.
The Company recognizes interest income on its CLO subordinated note using the effective yield method utilizing expected cash flows from the underlying positions. The accretable yield is initially measured as the excess of all cash flows expected to be collected attributable to the beneficial interest, estimated at the transaction date over the initial investment, and will be re-evaluated upon the receipt of each quarterly distribution. Expected cash flows inherent in the estimate of accretable yields are based on expectations of default, as well as other loan-performance assumptions that impact the loans underlying the CLO portfolio. Upon the sale of a security, the realized net gain or loss is computed on the specific identification method.
Accrual of interest income is suspended on nonaccrual loans. Loans that are past due 90 days or more as to principal or interest, or where reasonable doubt exists as to timely collection, are generally considered nonperforming and placed on nonaccrual status. Interest collected is recognized on a cash basis when received as investment income or as a reduction in the amortized cost basis, based on specific facts and circumstances, until accrual is resumed when the loan becomes contractually current and the Company believes all future principal and interest will be received according to the contractual loan terms.
Reportable Segments
The Company’s segment information reflects how the chief operating decision makers review information for operational decision-making purposes. The Company has two reportable segments:
17
CIM REAL ESTATE FINANCE TRUST, INC.

Credit — engages primarily in acquiring and originating primarily floating rate first and second lien mortgage loans, either directly or through co-investments in joint ventures, related to real estate assets. This segment also includes investments in real estate-related and other securities, equity securities, liquid corporate senior loans and corporate senior loans. The Company’s credit segment derives its revenues from the lending activities described above under “Revenue Recognition”.
Real estate — engages primarily in acquiring and managing geographically diversified income-producing retail, industrial and office properties that are primarily single-tenant properties, which are leased to creditworthy tenants under long-term net leases. The Company’s real estate segment derives its revenues from the leasing activities described above under “Revenue Recognition”.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by various standard setting bodies that may have an impact on the Company’s accounting and reporting. Except as otherwise stated below, the Company is currently evaluating the effect that certain new accounting requirements may have on the Company’s accounting and related reporting and disclosures in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.
In August 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2023-05, Business Combinations-Joint Venture Formations (Subtopic 805-60): Recognition and Initial Measurement (“ASU 2023-05”). ASU 2023-05 applies to the formation of a joint venture and requires a joint venture to initially measure all contributions received upon its formation at fair value. The guidance is intended to reduce diversity in practice and provide users of joint venture financial statements with more decision-useful information. The amendments are effective prospectively for all joint venture formations with a formation date on or after January 1, 2025. ASU 2023-05 became effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2025 and did not have a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements and disclosures.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40) (“ASU 2024-03”). ASU 2024-03 requires that public business entities disclose additional information about specific expense categories in the notes to financial statements at interim and annual reporting periods. ASU 2024-03 is effective on either a prospective basis, with the option for retrospective application, for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027, and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating whether the adoption of ASU 2024-03 will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures.
NOTE 3 — FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
GAAP defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and requires disclosures about fair value measurements. GAAP emphasizes that fair value is intended to be a market-based measurement, as opposed to a transaction-specific measurement.
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions. Depending on the nature of the asset or liability, various techniques and assumptions can be used to estimate the fair value. Assets and liabilities are measured using inputs from three levels of the fair value hierarchy, as follows:
Level 1 — Inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date. An active market is defined as a market in which transactions for the assets or liabilities occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.
Level 2 — Inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active (markets with few transactions), inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (i.e., interest rates, yield curves, etc.), and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data correlation or other means (market corroborated inputs).
Level 3 — Unobservable inputs, which are only used to the extent that observable inputs are not available, reflect the Company’s assumptions about the pricing of an asset or liability.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The following describes the methods the Company uses to estimate the fair value of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities:
Real estate-related securities and other — The Company generally determines the fair value of its CMBS by utilizing broker-dealer quotations, reported trades or valuation estimates from pricing models to determine the reported price. Pricing models for CMBS are generally discounted cash flow models that usually consider the attributes applicable to a particular class of security (e.g., credit rating, seniority), current market data, and estimated cash flows for each class and incorporate deal collateral performance such as prepayment speeds and default rates, as available. Depending upon the significance of the fair value inputs used in determining these fair values, these securities are valued using Level 1, Level 2 or Level 3 inputs.
The Company’s CLO subordinated note is valued using Level 3 inputs. The Company determines the fair value of its CLO subordinated note through consideration of the underlying investment portfolio metrics, including prepayment rates, default and recovery rates, and estimated market yields, supplemented by actual trades executed in the market and indicative prices provided by broker-dealers. Operating metrics related to the specific CLO subordinated note are also considered in determining the fair value of the investment.
The Company’s equity securities are valued using Level 1, Level 2 or Level 3 inputs depending upon the availability of the fair value inputs used in determining the respective fair values. The estimated fair value of the Company’s equity securities is based on quoted market prices when readily and regularly available in an active market.
A breakout of the Company’s CMBS, CLO subordinated note, and equity securities’ levels of the fair value hierarchy as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 can be found in the tables under Items Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis below.
Repurchase facilities, notes payable and credit facilities — The fair value is estimated by discounting the expected cash flows based on estimated borrowing rates available to the Company as of the measurement date. Current and prior period liabilities’ carrying and fair values exclude net deferred financing costs. These financial instruments are valued using Level 2 inputs.
Derivative instruments — In the normal course of business, the Company may use certain types of derivative instruments, such as interest rate swaps and interest rate caps, for the purpose of managing or hedging its interest rate risk. All derivative instruments are carried at fair value and are generally valued using Level 2 inputs. The fair value of these instruments is determined using interest rate market pricing models. In addition, credit valuation adjustments are incorporated into the fair values to account for the Company’s potential nonperformance risk and the performance risk of the respective counterparties.
Although the Company has determined that the majority of the inputs used to value its derivatives has generally fallen within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, certain credit valuation adjustments associated with such derivatives may utilize Level 3 inputs, such as estimates of current credit spreads, to evaluate the likelihood of default by the Company and its counterparties.
Loans held-for-investment — The Company’s loans held-for-investment are recorded at cost upon origination, net of loan origination fees and discounts. The Company estimates the fair value of its loans held-for-investment by performing a present value analysis for the anticipated future cash flows using an appropriate market discount rate taking into consideration the credit risk. The Company has determined that its commercial real estate (“CRE”) loans held-for-investment and corporate senior loans are classified in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. The Company’s liquid corporate senior loans are classified as Level 2 or Level 3 depending on the number of market quotations or indicative prices from pricing services that are available, and whether the depth of the market is sufficient to transact at those prices in amounts approximating the Company’s investment position at the measurement date.

As of December 31, 2024, $26.0 million and $6.1 million of the Company’s liquid corporate senior loans were classified in Level 2 and Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy, respectively.
Other financial instruments — The Company considers the carrying values of its cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, tenant receivables, accounts payable and accrued expenses, other liabilities, due to affiliates and distributions payable to approximate their fair values because of the short period of time between their origination and their expected realization as well as their highly-liquid nature. Due to the short-term maturities of these instruments, Level 1 inputs are utilized to estimate the fair value of these financial instruments.
Considerable judgment is necessary to develop estimated fair values of financial assets and liabilities. Accordingly, the estimates presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts the Company could realize, or be liable for, upon disposition of the financial assets and liabilities. The Company evaluates its hierarchy disclosures each quarter and depending on various factors, it is possible that an asset or liability may be classified differently from quarter to quarter. The Company does not expect that changes in classifications between levels will be frequent.

Items Measured at Fair Value on a Non-Recurring Basis (Including Impairment Charges)
Certain financial and nonfinancial assets and liabilities are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis and are subject to fair value adjustments in certain circumstances, such as when there is evidence of impairment. The Company’s process for identifying and recording impairment related to credit investments, real estate assets and intangible assets is discussed in Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.
Properties acquired through deeds-in-lieu of foreclosure are recognized at fair value and included in total real estate assets, net on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets upon foreclosure in accordance with the asset acquisition provisions of ASC 805. The Company is required to disclose real estate owned, a nonfinancial asset, at fair value on a non-recurring basis, in accordance with ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement and Disclosures (“ASC 820”). Under ASC 820, the Company may utilize the income, market or cost approach (or combination thereof) to determine the fair value of real estate owned. During the six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company took control of the assets securing two of its risk-rated 5 first mortgage loans, which are comprised of two office buildings, through deeds-in-lieu of foreclosure. At the time of acquisition, the Company determined the aggregate fair value of the net real estate assets to be $151.0 million. For the two properties, the Company utilized discount rates of 10.8 % and 10.0 %, respectively and capitalization rates of 9.0 % and 8.5 %, respectively. Subsequent to June 30, 2025, one of the properties acquired via deed-in-lieu of foreclosure met the criteria to be classified as held for sale. The Company expects the sale to be completed in August 2025.
As of June 30, 2025, the Company had an aggregate $238.4 million asset-specific credit loss reserve on funded and unfunded commitments related to six of the Company’s first mortgage loans with an aggregate carrying value of $822.1 million. The asset-specific credit loss reserve was recorded based on the Company’s estimation of the fair value of the first mortgage loans’ aggregate underlying collateral, less costs to sell the underlying collateral, as of June 30, 2025. These loans are therefore measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis using significant unobservable inputs, and are classified as Level 3 assets in the fair value hierarchy. The Company considered a variety of inputs including property performance, market data and comparable sales, as applicable. The significant unobservable inputs used include the terminal capitalization rate, which ranged from 8.0 % to 9.0 %, and the discount rate, which ranged from 10.0 % to 14.0 %. For additional information regarding the first mortgage loans, refer to Note 8 — Loans Held-For-Investment.

June 30, 2025 (Unaudited) – (Continued)
As discussed in Note 4 — Real Estate Assets, during the six months ended June 30, 2025, three properties were deemed to be impaired due to sales prices or revised cash flow estimates that were less than their respective carrying values, and their carrying values were reduced to an estimated fair value of $105.0 million, resulting in impairment charges of $7.7 million. The revised cash flow estimate was a result of continued deterioration of fundamentals at certain office properties, including weakened leasing activity and increased capitalization rates, and a revision in assumed holding periods at certain properties. Additionally, during the six months ended June 30, 2025, no condominium units were deemed to be impaired. During the six months ended June 30, 2024, seven properties were deemed to be impaired due to sales prices or revised cash flow estimates that were less than their respective carrying values, and their carrying values were reduced to an estimated fair value of $115.3 million, resulting in impairment charges of $51.5 million. Additionally, during the six months ended June 30, 2024, certain condominium units were deemed to be impaired, primarily due to a decrease in expected sales prices for certain units, and their carrying values were reduced to their estimated fair value, resulting in impairment charges of $5.5 million. The Company estimates fair values using Level 3 inputs and a combined income and market approach, specifically using discounted cash flow analysis and recent comparable sales transactions. The evaluation of real estate assets for potential impairment requires the Company’s management to exercise significant judgment and to make certain key assumptions, including, but not limited to, the following: (1) terminal capitalization rates; (2) discount rates; (3) the number of years the property will be held; (4) property operating expenses; and (5) re-leasing assumptions, including the number of months to re-lease, market rental income and required tenant improvements. There are inherent uncertainties in making these estimates such as market conditions and the future performance and sustainability of the Company’s tenants. The Company determined that the selling prices used to determine the fair values were Level 2 inputs.
The following summarizes the ranges of discount rates and terminal capitalization rates used for the Company’s impairment test for the real estate assets during the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024:

During the year ended December 31, 2023, the loan collateralizing one of the Company’s CMBS positions went into payment default and was appraised by a special servicer, resulting in an appraisal reduction that reduced cash flows received from the respective CMBS position during the year ended December 31, 2023. During the year ended December 31, 2024, the CMBS was modified to provide for an extended maturity date of July 2025 plus a six-month extension option, and to reduce the interest rate to a fixed 0.019 % per annum. Additionally, during the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company received notice of preliminary sales transaction activity in relation to the underlying collateral of this CMBS position, as well as an additional position in a separate tranche of this instrument, indicative of a bid below the carrying value of the investment. The Company considered various factors, including the factors noted above, in determining whether a credit loss existed. The present value of cash flows expected to be collected from the CMBS positions did not exceed their amortized cost basis. As such, the Company determined both tranches of the security the Company is invested in had incurred a credit loss. During the six months ended June 30, 2025, the property collateralizing the CMBS positions was re-appraised by the special servicer resulting in a further reduction to the appraisal value. As a result, the Company concluded it is considered more likely than not that the Company will not be able to recover the amortized cost prior to disposal, resulting in a reclassification of unrealized

losses previously determined to be driven by non-credit specific factors, as further discussed below. Subsequent to June 30, 2025, the CMBS was in maturity default as it was not repaid as anticipated during July 2025 and the extension option was not exercised.
As a result of the credit loss incurred, the Company recorded a $2.2 million increase to the provision for credit losses on the condensed consolidated statements of operations during the six months ended June 30, 2025 and reclassified $71.0 million of unrealized loss previously recorded in other comprehensive (loss) income in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss) to increase in provision for credit losses on the condensed consolidated statements of operations. During the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company recorded a $4.3 million increase to the provision for credit losses on the condensed consolidated statements of operations. As of June 30, 2025, the amortized cost basis of the CMBS positions identified as having incurred a credit loss was $192.8 million prior to any credit loss provisions. The Company will continue to monitor for changes in expected cash flows in order to continue to measure the credit loss.
As of June 30, 2025, there were five CMBS positions and one CLO subordinated note with an aggregate fair value of $80.0 million and $23.1 million, respectively, with unrealized losses reflected in other comprehensive (loss) income in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss). Upon evaluating these securities at the individual security level, the Company concluded that the unrealized losses included in other comprehensive (loss) income as of June 30, 2025 were noncredit-related and would be recovered from the securities’ estimated future cash flows. The Company considered various factors in reaching this conclusion, including that the Company did not intend to sell the securities, it was not considered more likely than not that the Company would be forced to sell the securities prior to recovering the amortized cost, and there were no material credit events that would have caused the Company to conclude that the amortized cost would not be recovered.

(1)Current expected losses for unfunded or unsettled loan commitments are included in accrued expenses and accounts payable on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
Changes to current expected credit losses are recognized through net income (loss) on the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations.
During the three months ended June 30, 2025, the Company recorded a net increase of $4.2 million in the current expected credit loss reserve against the loans held-for-investment portfolio, bringing the total current expected credit loss reserve on funded and unfunded commitments to $313.9 million. The current expected credit loss reserve reflects certain loans assessed for impairment as well as macroeconomic and current portfolio conditions.
As of June 30, 2025, the Company did not have any first mortgage loan investments on nonaccrual status. As of June 30, 2025, the Company’s asset-specific credit loss reserve totaled $240.5 million on funded and unfunded commitments, which related to the Company’s risk-rated 5 first mortgage loans and liquid corporate senior loans. The asset-specific credit loss reserve is recorded based on the Company’s estimation of the fair value of each loan’s underlying collateral, less costs to sell the underlying collateral where applicable, as of June 30, 2025.
Risk Ratings
As further described in Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, the Company evaluates its loans held-for-investment portfolio on a quarterly basis. Each quarter, the Company assesses the risk factors of each loan, and assigns a risk rating based on several factors. Factors considered in the assessment include, but are not limited to, loan and credit structure, current LTV ratio, debt yield, collateral performance, and the quality and condition of the sponsor, borrower, and guarantor(s).

Loan Modifications
The Company may amend or modify a loan depending on the loan’s specific facts and circumstances, which are disclosable under ASU No. 2022-02, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures (“ASU 2022-02”). Such modifications generally provide borrowers with additional time to refinance or sell the collateral property, interest payment adjustments, deferral of scheduled principal repayments, and/or adjustments or waivers of performance tests that are prerequisite to the extension of a loan maturity. Loan modifications that allow for the option to pay interest in-kind (“PIK”) result in the interest being capitalized and added to the outstanding principal balance of the respective loan. During the six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company entered into three loan modifications that require disclosure pursuant to ASC 326.
During the six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company modified a first mortgage loan collateralized by an office property into two distinct mortgage loans with a principal balance of $78.0 million (“Note A”) and $52.3 million (“Note B”). As of June 30, 2025, the loans had an aggregate carrying value of $129.9 million, representing approximately 4.1 % of the Company’s first mortgage loans and were risk-rated 5. The loan modification extended the initial maturity date from January 7, 2025 to February 7, 2029, with two one-year extension options and allows for future funding advances up to an aggregate amount of $14.5 million. In addition, the variable interest rate on Note A was modified from 2.90 % plus Term SOFR (as defined in the applicable loan documents) to a fixed interest rate of 5.0 % through February 7, 2026, then 6.0 % through the initial maturity date and allows for the accrual of PIK interest for any portion of the interest unable to be paid on a monthly basis due to insufficient cash flow. Note B is not subject to any interest payments, provided no event of default occurs as defined in the loan agreement. The Company received a $12.0 million repayment in connection with the loan modification. During the six months ended June 30, 2025, interest accrual was resumed on Note A, after previously being on nonaccrual status. The borrower elected to PIK $897,000 of interest during the six months ended June 30, 2025.
The Company modified a first mortgage loan collateralized by an office property during the six months ended June 30, 2025. As of June 30, 2025, the loan had a carrying value of $166.5 million, representing approximately 5.3 % of the Company’s first mortgage loans and was risk-rated 4. The loan modification extended the initial maturity date from February 7, 2025, with two one-year extension options, to February 7, 2028, with one one-year extension option. The Company received a $10.0 million repayment in connection with the loan modification.
The Company modified a first mortgage loan and a contiguous mezzanine loan with principal balances of $57.2 million and $19.1 million, respectively, collateralized by two multifamily properties during the six months ended June 30, 2025. As of June 30, 2025, the loans had a combined carrying value of $76.0 million, representing approximately 2.4 % of the Company’s first mortgage loans and were risk-rated 4. The loan modifications increased the minimum strike rate for the interest rate protection from 3.0 % to 4.5 % for each respective loan. In addition, during the year ended December 31, 2024, the borrower exercised a one-year extension option with a new maturity date of December 16, 2025 and paid down $4.7 million.
Other Modifications
While not required to be disclosed pursuant to ASU 2022-02 because the financial difficulty criteria was not met, the Company modified and restructured a first mortgage loan collateralized by a multifamily property during the six months ended June 30, 2025. As of June 30, 2025, the loan had a carrying value of $54.6 million, representing approximately 1.7 % of the Company’s first mortgage loans and was risk rated 3. The loan modification restructured the loan amount from $72.0 million to $55.0 million, extended the initial maturity date from February 6, 2026 with one one-year extension option to March 6, 2028 with two one-year extension options, and modified the variable interest rate from 3.20 % plus Term SOFR to 2.85 % plus Term SOFR. The Company received a $15.9 million repayment in connection with the loan modification. The loan modification was accounted for as a new loan for GAAP purposes.
NOTE 9 — REPURCHASE FACILITIES, NOTES PAYABLE AND CREDIT FACILITIES
As of June 30, 2025, the Company had $3.0 billion of debt outstanding, including net deferred financing costs, with a weighted average years to maturity of 1.8 years and a weighted average interest rate of 5.4 %. The weighted average years to maturity is computed using the scheduled repayment date as specified in each loan agreement where applicable. The weighted average interest rate is computed using the interest rate in effect until the scheduled repayment date.

Credit Facilities
As of June 30, 2025, CMFT CL Lending Sub AB, LLC (the “Borrower”), an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, had a revolving loan and security agreement (the “Loan and Security Agreement”) with each of the lenders from time to time party thereto (the “Lenders”), Ally Bank as administrative agent and arranger (“Ally Bank”), U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, as the collateral custodian, and U.S. Bank National Association as the document custodian, which provides for borrowings in an aggregate principal amount up to $300.0 million (the “Loan Facility”), which may be increased during the revolving period (as defined below) to an aggregate principal amount up to $500.0 million as agreed to by the Borrower, any applicable Lender and Ally Bank.
Borrowings under the Loan and Security Agreement will bear interest equal to SOFR for the relevant interest period, plus an applicable rate. The applicable rate is 2.875 % per annum (and an additional 2.00 % per annum following an event of default under the Loan and Security Agreement). The revolving period began on February 10, 2023 and concludes on the day preceding the earlier to occur of (i) the scheduled revolving period end date of February 10, 2026, (ii) the date of the declaration of the revolving period end date upon the occurrence and continuation of an event of default, and (iii) the termination date. The termination date is the earlier to occur of (i) February 10, 2028 (two years after the revolving period end date) and (ii) the date of the declaration of the termination date or the date of the automatic occurrence of the termination date upon the occurrence and continuation of an event of default.

The Repurchase Agreements provide for agreements by each of Citibank, Barclays, Wells Fargo, Deutsche Bank and J.P. Morgan to re-sell such purchased CRE mortgage loans and CMBS back to Lending Subs at a certain future date or upon demand.
In connection with certain of the Repurchase Agreements, the Company (as the guarantor) entered into guaranties with Citibank, Barclays, Wells Fargo, and Deutsche Bank (the “Initial Guaranties”), under which the Company agreed to guarantee up to 25 % of the obligations of the applicable Lending Sub under certain Repurchase Agreements. In addition, in connection with certain of the Repurchase Agreements, the Company (as the “Initial Guarantor”) and CLR (as a “Replacement Guarantor” and together with the Initial Guarantor, the “Guarantors”) entered into or amended guaranties with Citibank, Barclays and Deutsche Bank during the year ended December 31, 2023 (the “2023 Guaranties”, and together with the Initial Guaranties, the “Guaranties”), on a joint and several basis until the satisfaction of certain conditions as set forth in the guaranties, at which point the Replacement Guarantor will become the sole guarantor under the guaranty (the “Guarantor Replacement Event”). Under the 2023 Guaranties, the Initial Guarantor and the Replacement Guarantors agreed to guarantee the respective Lending Subs’ obligations under the applicable Repurchase Agreements. Additionally, during the six months ended June 30, 2025, in connection with the J.P. Morgan Repurchase Facility, the Company and CLR (as the guarantors) entered into a guaranty with J.P. Morgan, under which the Company and CLR agreed to guarantee the obligations of the Lending Sub under the Repurchase Agreement with J.P. Morgan on a joint and several basis until the Company is permitted to be removed as a guarantor upon the satisfaction of certain conditions set forth in the guaranty, leaving CLR as the sole guarantor under the guaranty with J.P. Morgan.
The Repurchase Agreements and the Guaranties contain representations, warranties, covenants, conditions precedent to funding, events of default and indemnities that are customary for agreements of these types. In addition, the Guaranties contain financial covenants that require the Company to maintain: (i) minimum liquidity of not less than the lower of (a) $50.0 million and (b) the greater of (A) $10.0 million and (B) 5 % of the then-current Guarantors’ recourse indebtedness, as defined in the Guaranties; (ii) minimum consolidated net worth greater than or equal to $1.0 billion plus (a) prior to the Guarantor Replacement Event, as applicable, 75 % of the equity issued by the Guarantors following the respective closing dates of the Repurchase Agreements (the “Repurchase Closing Dates”) or, from and after the Guarantor Replacement Event, as applicable, 75 % of the equity issued by the Replacement Guarantor following the Guarantor Replacement Event, as applicable, minus (b) prior to the Guarantor Replacement Event, as applicable, the aggregate amount of any redemptions or similar transaction by the Guarantors from the Repurchase Closing Dates or, from and after the Guarantor Replacement Event, as applicable, the aggregate amount of any redemptions or similar transaction by the Replacement Guarantor following the Guarantor Replacement Event, as applicable; (iii) maximum leverage ratio of total indebtedness to total equity less than or equal to 80 %; and (iv) minimum interest coverage ratio of EBITDA (as defined in the Guaranties) to interest expense equal to or greater than 1.40 .
The Company believes it was in compliance with the financial covenants under the Repurchase Agreements as of June 30, 2025.
Maturities
Liquidity and Financial Condition — The Company has $1.7 billion of debt maturing within the next 12 months following the date these financial statements are issued. The Company is in active communication with its lenders to exercise the extension options under its Repurchase Facilities and notes payable that are maturing within the next 12 months, which management believes is probable given its history of meeting all compliance metrics with these Repurchase Facilities. The Company also has the ability to enter into new financing arrangements or refinance existing arrangements to meet its obligations as they become due, which management believes is probable based on the current loan-to-value ratios and assessment of the current lending environment.

In addition, the Company may own or acquire certain properties that are subject to environmental remediation. Generally, the seller of the property, the tenant of the property and/or another third party is responsible for environmental remediation costs related to a property. Additionally, in connection with the purchase of certain properties, the respective sellers and/or tenants may agree to indemnify the Company against future remediation costs. The Company also carries environmental liability insurance on its properties that provides limited coverage for any remediation liability and/or pollution liability for third-party bodily injury and/or property damage claims for which the Company may be liable. The Company is not aware of any environmental matters which it believes are reasonably likely to have a material effect on its results of operations, financial condition or liquidity.
NOTE 11 — RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS AND ARRANGEMENTS
Management, investment advisory fees and incentive compensation
The Company has incurred fees and expenses payable to CMFT Management and certain of its affiliates in connection with the acquisition, management and disposition of its assets. On March 24, 2023, the Company and CMFT Management entered into the second amended and restated management agreement (the “Management Agreement”), which amended and restated the amended and restated management agreement between the parties dated August 20, 2019.
The Company pays CMFT Management a management fee, payable quarterly in arrears, equal to the greater of (a) $250,000 per annum ($62,500 per quarter) and (b) 1.50 % per annum (0.375 % per quarter) of the Company’s Equity (as defined in the Management Agreement).
CMFT Securities has an investment advisory and management agreement dated May 12, 2025 (the “Investment Advisory and Management Agreement”) with the Investment Advisor. CMFT Securities was formed for the purpose of holding any securities investments and certain other investments made by the Company. The Investment Advisor, a wholly-owned subsidiary of CIM Group, is registered as an investment advisor under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended (the

“Advisers Act”). Pursuant to the Investment Advisory and Management Agreement, the Investment Advisor manages the day-to-day business affairs of CMFT Securities and its investments in corporate credit and real estate-related securities (collectively, the “Managed Assets”), subject to the supervision of the Board. In connection with the services provided by the Investment Advisor, CMFT Securities pays the Investment Advisor an investment advisory fee (the “Investment Advisory Fee”), payable quarterly in arrears, equal to 1.50 % per annum (0.375 % per quarter) of CMFT Securities’ Equity (as defined in the Investment Advisory and Management Agreement). Because the Managed Assets are excluded from the calculation of management fees payable by the Company to CMFT Management pursuant to the Management Agreement, the total management and advisory fees payable by the Company to its external advisors are not increased as a result of the Investment Advisory and Management Agreement.
In addition, the Investment Advisor has a sub-advisory agreement dated December 6, 2019 (the “Sub-Advisory Agreement”) with OFS Capital Management, LLC (the “Sub-Advisor”) to act as an investment sub-advisor to CMFT Securities. The Sub-Advisor is registered as an investment adviser under the Advisers Act and is an affiliate of the Investment Advisor. The Sub-Advisor principally provides investment management services with respect to the corporate credit-related securities held by CMFT Securities and its subsidiaries. The Sub-Advisor may allocate a portion of these corporate credit-related securities to its other clients, including affiliates of CIM Group. On a quarterly basis, the Investment Advisor designates 50 % (or 25 % if related to CMBS) of the sum of the Investment Advisory Fee and incentive compensation attributable to the assets for which the Sub-Advisor has provided investment management services payable to the Investment Advisor as sub-advisory fees.
CMFT Management is entitled to receive incentive compensation, payable with respect to each quarter, which is generally equal to the excess of (a) the product of (i) 20 % and (ii) the excess of (A) Core Earnings (as defined in the Management Agreement) of the Company for the previous 12-month period, over (B) the product of (1) the Company’s Consolidated Equity (as defined in the Management Agreement) in the previous 12-month period, and (2) 7 % per annum, over (b) the sum of any incentive compensation paid to CMFT Management with respect to the first three calendar quarters of such previous 12-month period (or such lesser number of completed calendar quarters preceding the applicable period, if applicable). During the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, no
In addition, the Investment Advisor is eligible to receive a portion of the incentive compensation payable to CMFT Management pursuant to the Management Agreement. In the event that the incentive compensation is earned and payable with respect to any quarter, CMFT Management calculates the portion of the incentive compensation that was attributable to the Managed Assets and payable to the Investment Advisor.
The Company’s subsidiary, CLR, entered into a separate management agreement (“CLR Management Agreement”) with CMFT Management on February 29, 2024 (“CLR Effective Date”) for the day-to-day management of CLR and its non-securities assets, pursuant to which CLR will pay CMFT Management a base management fee, payable in arrears, equal to 1.25 % of CLR’s net asset value per share (or 0.90 % of its net asset value per share for its founder share classes), plus a performance fee that is, subject to certain adjustment in the calculation for the measurement periods applicable to CLR’s Core Earnings (as defined in the CLR Management Agreement) during the first four calendar quarters, generally equal to the excess of (A) the product of (I) 10 % and (II) the excess of (y) CLR’s Core Earnings for the previous 12-month period, over (z) the product of (i) CLR’s average adjusted capital, and (ii) a hurdle rate of 6.5 % (7.25 % for its founder share classes), each considered on an annualized basis, over (B) the sum of any performance fee paid to CMFT Management or the Investment Advisor with respect to the first three calendar quarters of such previous 12-month period (or such lesser number of completed calendar quarters preceding the applicable period, if applicable). No performance fee shall be payable by CLR to CMFT Management or the Investment Advisor with respect to any calendar quarter unless CLR’s Core Earnings for the 12 most recently completed calendar months (or such lesser number of completed calendar quarters following the CLR Effective Date) in the aggregate are greater than zero. Once CLR’s Core Earnings exceed the hurdle rate, CMFT Management is entitled to a “catch-up” fee equal to the amount of CLR’s Core Earnings in excess of the hurdle rate, until CLR’s Core Earnings for the applicable period equal 7.224 % (8.0576 % for CLR’s founder share classes), each considered on an annualized basis of CLR’s average adjusted capital. Thereafter, CMFT Management is entitled to receive 10 % of CLR’s Core Earnings.
CLR Securities Investments, LLC (“CLR Securities”), a subsidiary of CLR, has an investment advisory and management agreement dated February 29, 2024 (the “CLR Investment Advisory and Management Agreement”) with the Investment Advisor pursuant to which the Investment Advisor manages the day-to-day business affairs of CLR Securities and its investments in real estate-related securities (collectively, the “CLR Managed Assets”), subject to the supervision of the CLR board of trustees. In connection with the services provided by the Investment Advisor, CLR Securities pays the Investment Advisor an investment advisory fee (the “CLR Investment Advisory Fee”), payable quarterly in arrears, equal to the proportion of the base management fee and performance fee calculated pursuant to the CLR Management Agreement that is attributable to
39
CIM REAL ESTATE FINANCE TRUST, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2025 (Unaudited) – (Continued)
the CLR Managed Assets. Because the CLR Managed Assets are excluded from the calculation of management fees payable by CLR to CMFT Management pursuant to the Management Agreement, the total management and advisory fees payable by CLR to its external advisors are not increased as a result of the CLR Investment Advisory and Management Agreement.
The CLR Management Agreement and CLR Investment Advisory and Management Agreement (together, the “CLR Advisory Agreements”) each have an initial three-year term and shall be deemed renewed automatically each year thereafter for an additional one-year period unless CLR provides 180 days’ written notice of termination of a CLR Advisory Agreement after the affirmative vote of CLR’s independent trustees. If either CLR Advisory Agreement is terminated without cause, CMFT Management and/or the Investment Advisor, as applicable, shall receive a termination fee pursuant to the terminated CLR Advisory Agreement equal to three times the sum of (a) the average annual management fee and (b) the average annual incentive compensation incurred under the terminated CLR Advisory Agreement during the 24-month period prior to the termination.
The Company and CMFT Management have entered into an agreement (the “Offset Agreement”) whereby, (i) for so long as CMFT Management is the external manager of the Company and an affiliate of CIM Group, the Company’s management fee payable to CMFT Management will be reduced by the Company’s proportional share, based on its ownership of CLR, of the base management fee and performance fee payable to CMFT Management by CLR, and (ii) if the Management Agreement and either or both of the CLR Advisory Agreements are simultaneously terminated without cause, the termination fee payable by the Company to CMFT Management or the Investment Advisor, as applicable, under the applicable CLR Advisory Agreement shall be reduced by the Company’s proportional share, based on its ownership of CLR, of the termination fee payable to CMFT Management or the Investment Advisor by CLR under the applicable CLR Advisory Agreement, such that, in each case, the Company will not pay more fees than would otherwise be payable under its Management Agreement or Investment Advisory and Management Agreement, as applicable. The Offset Agreement also provides that CMFT Management will reimburse to the Company 50 % of the organization and offering expenses paid by the Company for CLR, which reimbursement may be paid as a reduction in the management fee payable to CMFT Management under the Management Agreement. Organization and offering expenses is defined in the CLR Management Agreement as any and all costs and expenses incurred by or on behalf of CLR in connection with the formation of CLR and the marketing and distribution of its common shares of beneficial interest. During the six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company did not receive any reimbursements from CMFT Management for organization and offering expenses paid by the Company for CLR.
The Investment Advisor has engaged the Sub-Advisor to act as an investment sub-advisor with respect to the assets held by CLR Securities. The Sub-Advisor principally provides investment management services with respect to the real estate related securities held by CLR Securities and its subsidiaries. On a quarterly basis, the Investment Advisor designates 50 % of the sum of the CLR Investment Advisory Fee and incentive compensation attributable to the assets for which the Sub-Advisor has provided investment management services payable to the Investment Advisor as sub-advisory fees. The Sub-Advisory Agreement may be terminated by either party with 30 days’ advance written notice to the other party.
Pursuant to the Offset Agreement, fees payable by the Company to CMFT Management or the Investment Advisor will be offset by the Company’s proportional share, based on its ownership of CLR, of the fees payable by CLR or its affiliates under the CLR Management Agreement or CLR Investment Advisory Agreement to CMFT Management or the Investment Advisor.
Guaranties
From time to time, the Company guarantees certain of CLR’s indebtedness, as discussed further in Note 9 — Repurchase Facilities, Notes Payable and Credit Facilities.
Expense reimbursements to related parties
The Company reimburses CMFT Management, the Investment Advisor or their affiliates for certain expenses paid or incurred in connection with the services provided to the Company. The Company will reimburse CMFT Management, the Investment Advisor, or their affiliates for salaries and benefits paid to personnel who provide services to the Company, excluding the Company’s executive officers (other than the chief financial officer) and any portfolio management, acquisitions or investment professionals.

NOTE 14 — LEASES
The Company’s real estate assets are leased to tenants under operating leases for which the terms, expirations and extension options vary. The Company’s operating leases do not convey to the lessee the right to purchase the underlying asset upon expiration of the lease period. To determine whether a contract contains a lease, the Company reviews contracts to determine if the agreement conveys the right to control the use of an asset. The Company accounts for lease and non-lease components as a single, combined operating lease component. Non-lease components primarily consist of maintenance services, including CAM, real estate taxes, insurance and utilities paid for by the lessor but consumed by the lessee. Non-lease components are considered to be variable rental and other property income and are recognized in the period incurred.
As of June 30, 2025, the Company’s leases had a weighted-average remaining term of 9.1 years. Certain leases include provisions to extend the lease agreements, options for early termination after paying a specified penalty, rights of first refusal to purchase the property at competitive market rates, and other negotiated terms and conditions. The Company retains substantially all of the risks and benefits of ownership of the real estate assets leased to tenants. The Company’s lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants.
As of June 30, 2025, the future minimum rental income from the Company’s real estate assets under non-cancelable operating leases, assuming no exercise of renewal options for the succeeding five fiscal years and thereafter, was as follows (in thousands):

A certain amount of the Company’s rental and other property income is from tenants with leases which are subject to contingent rent provisions.

The Company has one property subject to a non-cancelable operating ground lease with a remaining term of 8.2 years, with a lease liability (in ) and a related right-of-use (“ROU”) asset (in ) of $1.7 million in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The lease liability and ROU asset were initially measured at the present value of the future minimum lease payments using a discount rate of 4.3 %. This reflects the Company’s incremental borrowing rate, which was calculated based on the interest rate the Company would incur to borrow on a fully collateralized basis over a term similar to the lease.
The Company recognized $63,000 and $125,000 of ground lease expense during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively, of which $61,000 and $121,000 , respectively, was paid in cash during the period it was recognized. As of June 30, 2025, the Company’s scheduled future minimum rental payments related to its operating ground lease is approximately $125,000 for the remainder of 2025, $250,000 667,000 thereafter through the maturity date of the lease in August 2033.
NOTE 15 — SEGMENT REPORTING

The Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) is the Company’s executive management team, which includes the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer.
The CODM evaluates performance and allocates resources based on segment net income (loss). All expense categories on the statement of operations are significant and there are no other significant segment expenses that would require disclosure.

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 accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. We make statements in this section that are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws. Certain risks may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to differ materially from those expressed or implied by the following discussion. For a complete discussion of such risk factors, see Item 1A — Risk Factors of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. Capitalized terms used herein, but not otherwise defined, shall have the meaning ascribed to those terms in “Part I — Financial Information” of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements contained therein, and the terms “we,” “us,” “our” and the “Company” refer to CIM Real Estate Finance Trust, Inc.
Forward-Looking Statements
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q includes “forward-looking statements” (within the meaning of the federal securities laws, Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) that reflect our expectations and projections about our future results, performance, prospects and opportunities. We have attempted to identify these forward-looking statements by the use of words such as “may,” “will,” “seek,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “targets,” “intends,” “should,” “estimates,” “could,” “continue,” “assume,” “projects,” “plans” or similar expressions. These forward-looking statements are based on information currently available to us and are subject to a number of known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. These factors include, among other things, those discussed below. In addition, these risks and uncertainties include those associated with general economic, market and other conditions. We intend for all such forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe harbor provisions for forward-looking statements contained in Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act, as applicable by law. We do not undertake to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of changes in underlying assumptions or new information, future events or otherwise, except as may be required to satisfy our obligations under federal securities law. The forward-looking statements should be read in light of the risk factors identified in Item 1A — Risk Factors of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.
The following are some, but not all, of the assumptions, risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those presented in our forward-looking statements:
•We are subject to risks associated with bankruptcies or insolvencies of our borrowers and tenants and from borrower or tenant defaults generally.
•Our credit and real estate investments subject us to domestic and international political, economic, capital markets and other conditions and events.
•We are subject to fluctuations in interest rates which could reduce our ability to generate income on our credit investments.
•We are subject to risks associated with global trade disruption, significant introduction of trade barriers and bilateral trade frictions, including due to tariffs and other changes to trade policy in the U.S. and other jurisdictions, together with any downturns in the global economy resulting therefrom.
•We are subject to an increase in inflation that could increase our credit and real estate portfolio related costs at a higher rate than our rental income and other revenue and adversely impact demand for rental space and future extensions of our tenants’ leases.
•We face risks associated with security breaches through cyber attacks, cyber intrusions or otherwise, as well as significant disruptions of CIM Group’s information technology (“IT”) networks and related systems.
•We are subject to competition from entities engaged in lending which may impact the availability of origination and acquisition opportunities acceptable to us.
•We may be unable to renew leases, lease vacant space or re-lease space as leases expire on favorable terms or at all.
•We are subject to risks associated with tenant, geographic and industry concentrations with respect to our investments and properties.
•Our properties, intangible assets and other assets, as well as the property securing our loans or other investments, may be subject to impairment charges.
•We could be subject to unexpected costs or unexpected liabilities that may arise from dispositions.
•We are subject to competition in the acquisition and disposition of properties and in the leasing of our properties and we may suffer delays or be unable to acquire, dispose of, or lease properties on advantageous terms.
51
•We have substantial indebtedness, which may affect our ability to pay distributions and expose us to interest rate fluctuation risk and the risk of default under our debt obligations.
•We are subject to risks associated with the incurrence of additional secured or unsecured debt.
•We may not be able to maintain profitability.
•We may not generate cash flows sufficient to pay our distributions to stockholders or meet our debt service obligations.
•Our continued compliance with debt covenants depends on many factors and could be impacted by current or future economic conditions.
•We may be affected by risks resulting from losses in excess of insured limits.
•We may fail to remain qualified as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes or revoke our REIT election.
•We could be subject to a material tax liability if our sales of properties are treated as prohibited transactions.
•We may be subject to adverse legislative or regulatory tax changes that could increase our tax liability or reduce our operating flexibility.
•We may be unable to list our shares on a national securities exchange in a particular timeframe or at all.
•If we, our operating partnership and any other subsidiaries do not maintain exemptions from registration under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, we will be subject to significant regulation and restrictions on our business and investments, which could materially and adversely impact us.
Definitions
We use certain defined terms throughout this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that have the following meanings:
The phrase “annualized rental income” refers to the straight-line rental revenue under our leases on operating properties owned as of the respective reporting date, which includes the effect of rent escalations and any tenant concessions, such as free rent, and excludes any contingent rent, such as percentage rent. Management uses annualized rental income as a basis for tenant, industry and geographic concentrations and other metrics within the portfolio. Annualized rental income is not indicative of future performance.
Under a “net lease,” the tenant occupying the leased property (usually as a single tenant) does so in much the same manner as if the tenant were the owner of the property. The tenant generally agrees that it will either have no ability or only limited ability to terminate the lease or abate rent prior to the expiration of the term of the lease as a result of real estate driven events such as casualty, condemnation or failure by the landlord to fulfill its obligations under the lease. There are various forms of net leases, most typically classified as either triple-net or double-net. Triple-net leases typically require the tenant to pay all expenses associated with the property (e.g., real estate taxes, insurance, maintenance and repairs, including roof, structure and parking lot). Double-net leases typically hold the landlord responsible for the capital expenditures for the roof and structure, while the tenant is responsible for all lease payments and remaining operating expenses associated with the property (e.g., real estate taxes, insurance and maintenance).
Overview
We are a non-traded REIT that seeks to attain attractive risk-adjusted returns and create long term value for our stockholders by investing in a diversified portfolio of senior secured mortgage loans, creditworthy long-term net-leased property investments and other senior loan and liquid credit investments. Our investment strategy allows us to adapt over time in order to respond to evolving market conditions and to capitalize on investment opportunities that may arise at different points in the economic and real estate investment cycle. Subject to market conditions, we expect to pursue a listing of our common stock on a national securities exchange at such time as our Board determines that such a listing would be in the best interests of our stockholders, though we can provide no assurance that a listing will happen in a particular timeframe or at all.
We were formed on July 27, 2010, and we elected to be taxed, and conduct our operations to qualify, as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes. We are externally managed by CMFT Management and, with respect to investments in securities and certain other investments of ours, our Investment Advisor, each of which is an affiliate of CIM Group, a vertically-integrated community-focused real estate and infrastructure owner, operator, lender and developer.
As of June 30, 2025, our loan portfolio consisted of 73 loans with a net book value of $3.2 billion, and 20 investments in real estate-related securities and other of $295.2 million. The Company conducts and expects to continue to conduct its commercial real estate lending business through CLR, a Maryland statutory trust and subsidiary of the Company which we expect to be taxed as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes. As of June 30, 2025, CLR holds a diversified portfolio of
52
approximately $1.5 billion which includes first mortgage loans with a net book value of $1.1 billion, CMBS with an estimated fair value of $195.3 million, and an investment in the Unconsolidated Joint Venture with a carrying value of $155.4 million.
As of June 30, 2025, we owned 185 properties, which consisted of 172 retail properties, nine office properties, and four industrial properties, representing 25 industry sectors and comprising approximately 6.6 million rentable square feet of commercial space located in 36 states, with a net book value of $1.1 billion. As of June 30, 2025, we owned condominium developments with a net book value of $33.3 million.
During the six months ended June 30, 2025, we disposed of four properties encompassing approximately 59,000 gross rentable square feet and 11 condominium units for a total consideration of $66.0 million, as further discussed in Note 4 — Real Estate Assets to the condensed consolidated financial statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Our operating results and cash flows are primarily influenced by interest income from our credit investments, rental and other property income from our commercial properties, interest expense on our indebtedness and credit investments and other operating expenses. In general, our business model is such that rising interest rates will correlate to increases in our net income, while declining interest rates will correlate to decreases in our net income. As of June 30, 2025, 91.1% of our CMBS and loans held-for-investment by carrying value earned a floating rate of interest, indexed to SOFR, and were financed with liabilities that pay interest at floating rates, which resulted in an amount of net equity that is positively correlated to rising interest rates, subject to the impact of interest rate floors on certain of our floating rate loans. CMFT Management reviews our investment portfolio and is in regular contact with our borrowers, monitoring performance of the collateral and enforcing our rights as necessary. In addition, as 94.9% of our rentable square feet was under lease, including any month-to-month agreements, as of June 30, 2025, with a weighted average remaining lease term of 9.1 years, we believe our exposure to changes in commercial rental rates on our portfolio is substantially mitigated, except for vacancies caused by tenant bankruptcies or other factors. Our manager regularly monitors the creditworthiness of our tenants by reviewing each tenant’s financial results, any available credit rating agency reports on the tenant or guarantor, the operating history of the property with such tenant, the tenant’s market share and track record within its industry segment, the general health and outlook of the tenant’s industry segment and other information for changes and possible trends. If our manager identifies significant changes or trends that may adversely affect the creditworthiness of a tenant, it will gather a more in-depth knowledge of the tenant’s financial condition and, if necessary, attempt to mitigate the tenant credit risk by evaluating the possible sale of the property or identifying a possible replacement tenant should the current tenant fail to perform on the lease.
Macroeconomic Environment
The six months ended June 30, 2025 have been characterized by a mix of positive and challenging developments leading to continued volatility in global markets. Investor concerns over inflation, higher interest rates, slowing economic growth, uncertainty around the impacts of imposed tariffs, political and regulatory uncertainty and geopolitical conditions have persisted.
Heightened inflation caused the Federal Reserve to raise interest rates in 2022 and 2023. Although the majority of our business model is such that elevated interest rates will, all else being equal, correlate to increases in our net income, increases in interest rates may adversely affect the ability of our existing borrowers to pay debt service, tenants and property values of our own portfolio and the assets that serve as collateral for our loans. The Federal Reserve began to decrease interest rates in the second half of 2024 and has indicated that it may continue to decrease interest rates in 2025, though rates have been held steady so far this year. In a period of declining interest rates, our interest income on floating-rate investments may generally decrease, subject to the impact of interest rate floors in our investment portfolio.
In addition, the U.S. office sector has been adversely affected by the increase in remote working arrangements and, over the past several years, the retail sector has been adversely affected by electronic commerce. These negative factors have been considered in the determination of our CECL allowance. We may be required to record further increases to our current expected credit loss reserves in the future, depending on the performance of our portfolio and broader market conditions, and there may be volatility in the level of our CECL reserves, particularly if market conditions relevant to the office sector do not improve. Any such reserve increases are difficult to predict.
For a complete discussion of risk factors related to the economy that could impact our lending and our business, see the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.

Three Months Ended June 30, 2025 Compared to the Three Months Ended June 30, 2024
Credit Segment
Revenues
Our Credit segment revenues decreased $20.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to the same period in 2024. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in the overall size of our investment portfolio during the three months ended June 30, 2025 as compared to the same period in 2024. As of June 30, 2025, we held credit investments with an outstanding principal balance of $4.1 billion compared to credit investments with an outstanding principal balance of $4.8 billion as of June 30, 2024.
Expenses
Expenses for our Credit segment consist primarily of interest expense, management fees, increases (decreases) to our provision for credit losses, and general and administrative expenses. The decrease in our Credit segment expenses of $232.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to the same period in 2024, was primarily due to a $211.7 million decrease in provision for credit losses during the three months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to the same period in 2024 due to a decrease in incremental asset-specific credit loss provisions on funded and unfunded commitments related to the Company’s first mortgage loans. The decrease was further driven by a $19.2 million decrease in interest expense, primarily due to decreased outstanding borrowings used to fund credit investments during the three months ended June 30, 2025 as compared to the same period in 2024.
Other Income
Other income for our Credit segment consists of gain on investment in unconsolidated entities, unrealized (loss) gain on equity securities, and dividend income from our equity securities. The increase in our Credit segment other income of $882,000 during the three months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to the same period in 2024, was primarily due to a $2.1 million decrease in unrealized loss on equity securities during the three months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to the same period in 2024. Furthermore, there was a $169,000 increase in gain on investment in unconsolidated entities during the three months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to the same period in 2024. The increase was partially offset by a $1.4 million decrease in other income, net during the three months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to the same period in 2024, primarily related to a
57
$2.0 million decrease in interest income generated by short-term liquid investments in cash and cash equivalents on the condensed consolidated balance sheets, which was partially offset by a $942,000 decrease in the loss on sale of liquid corporate senior loans during the three months ended June 30, 2025 as compared to the same period in 2024.
Real Estate Segment
Revenues
The increase in our Real Estate segment revenues of $5.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to the same period in 2024, was primarily due to the addition of four properties subsequent to June 30, 2024. Refer to “Same Store Analysis” below for a further discussion of net operating income at our “same store properties”.
Expenses
The decrease in our Real Estate segment expenses of $46.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to the same period in 2024, was primarily due to a decrease in impairment charges of $50.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to the same period in 2024, as two properties were deemed to be impaired during the three months ended June 30, 2025, resulting in impairment charges of $648,000, as compared to seven properties impaired during the three months ended June 30, 2024, resulting in impairment charges of $51.5 million. The decrease in Real Estate segment expenses was partially offset by an increase in property operating expenses of $2.1 million driven by the acquisition of four properties subsequent to June 30, 2024. Refer to “Same Store Analysis” below for a further discussion of net operating income at our “same store properties”.
Other Income
Other income for our Real Estate segment, which primarily consists of gain on disposition of real estate, net, and other income, did not meaningfully change during the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to the same period in 2024.
Corporate and Other
Revenues
During the three months ended June 30, 2025, we did not generate any corporate revenues, which primarily consists of rental income from our condominium and rental units acquired via foreclosure. There was no revenue generated as the Company has disposed of all rent stabilized condominium units as of June 30, 2025. The units that remained during the three months ended June 30, 2025 are under development.
Expenses
Our corporate expenses consist primarily of general and administrative expenses, expense reimbursements to related parties, interest expense, net related to our credit facilities, and property operating expenses related to our condominium and rental units acquired via foreclosure. The decrease in corporate expenses of $4.6 million during the three months ended June 30, 2025 was primarily due to no condominium-related impairment expense being recorded for the three months ended June 30, 2025 as compared to $5.5 million during the same period in 2024.
Other Income
The increase in corporate other income of $1.3 million during the three months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to the same period in 2024, was primarily due to a $1.6 million increase in gain on disposition of real estate and condominium developments, net, as a result of the disposition of six condominium units resulting in a net gain of $4.0 million during the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to the disposition of four condominium units resulting in a net gain of $2.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024.
Six Months Ended June 30, 2025 Compared to the Six Months Ended June 30, 2024
Credit Segment
Revenues
Our Credit segment revenues decreased $52.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to the same period in 2024. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in the overall size of our investment portfolio during the six months ended June 30, 2025 as compared to the same period in 2024. As of June 30, 2025, we held credit investments with an
58
outstanding principal balance of $4.1 billion compared to credit investments with an outstanding principal balance of $4.8 billion as of June 30, 2024.
Expenses
Expenses for our Credit segment consist primarily of interest expense, management fees, increases (decreases) to our provision for credit losses, and general and administrative expenses. The decrease in our Credit segment expenses of $259.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to the same period in 2024, was primarily due to a $217.0 million decrease in provision for credit losses during the six months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to the same period in 2024 due to six first mortgage loans that were moved to a risk rating of 5 during the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to no downgrades to a risk rating of 5 during the six months ended June 30, 2025. The decrease was further driven by a $39.5 million decrease in interest expense, primarily due to decreased outstanding borrowings used to fund credit investments during the six months ended June 30, 2025 as compared to the same period in 2024.
Other Income (Expense)
Other income for our Credit segment consists of gain on investment in unconsolidated entities, unrealized (loss) gain on equity securities, loss on debt extinguishment, along with dividend income from our equity securities. The increase in our Credit segment other income (expense) of $12.6 million during the six months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to the same period in 2024, was primarily due to a $1.2 million unrealized gain on equity securities during the six months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to a $15.6 million unrealized loss on equity securities for the same period in 2024. The increase was partially offset by a $2.9 million decrease in other income, net during the six months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to the same period in 2024, primarily related to a $2.9 million decrease in interest income generated by short-term liquid investments in cash and cash equivalents on the condensed consolidated balance sheets, during the six months ended June 30, 2025 as compared to the same period in 2024. The increase was further offset by a $1.3 million decrease in gain on investment in unconsolidated entities during the six months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to the same period in 2024.
Real Estate Segment
Revenues
The increase in our Real Estate segment revenues of $10.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to the same period in 2024, was primarily due to the addition of four properties subsequent to June 30, 2024. Refer to “Same Store Analysis” below for a further discussion of net operating income at our “same store properties”.
Expenses
The decrease in our Real Estate segment expenses of $38.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to the same period in 2024, was primarily due to a decrease in impairment charges of $43.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to the same period in 2024, as three properties were deemed to be impaired during the six months ended June 30, 2025, resulting in impairment charges of $7.7 million, as compared to seven properties that were deemed to be impaired during the six months ended June 30, 2024, resulting in impairment charges of $51.5 million. The decrease in Real Estate segment expenses were partially offset by an increase in property operating expenses of $2.6 million driven by the acquisition of four properties subsequent to June 30, 2024. Refer to “Same Store Analysis” below for a further discussion of net operating income at our “same store properties”.
Other Income
Other income for our Real Estate segment primarily consists of gain on disposition of real estate, net, and other income. The increase in our Real Estate segment other income of $322,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to the same period in 2024, was primarily due to the disposition of four properties resulting in a net gain of $411,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to the disposition of two properties resulting in no gain or loss during the six months ended June 30, 2024.
59
Corporate and Other
Revenues
Our corporate revenues, which consist primarily of rental income from our condominium and rental units acquired via foreclosure, decreased $119,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2025 as compared to the same period in 2024, due to the disposition of all condominium units not under development during the six months ended June 30, 2025.
Expenses
Our corporate expenses consist primarily of general and administrative expenses, expense reimbursements to related parties, interest expense, net related to our credit facilities, and property operating expenses related to our condominium and rental units acquired via foreclosure. The decrease in corporate expenses of $7.0 million during the six months ended June 30, 2025 as compared to the same period in 2024, was primarily due to no condominium-related impairment expense recorded during the six months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to $5.5 million during the same period in 2024. The decrease in corporate expenses was further driven by a decrease in property operating expenses of $2.1 million, due to decreased condominium-related legal expenses and miscellaneous condominium repairs and maintenance expense during the six months ended June 30, 2025 as compared to the same period in 2024.
Other Income
The increase in corporate other income of $1.3 million during the six months ended June 30, 2025 as compared to the same period in 2024, was primarily due to the disposition of 11 condominium units resulting in a net gain of $5.2 million during the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to the disposition of eight condominium units resulting in a net gain of $3.3 million during the six months ended June 30, 2024.
Same Store Analysis
Our results of operations are influenced by the timing of acquisitions and the operating performance of our real estate assets. We review our stabilized operating results, measured by net operating income, from properties that we owned for the entirety of both the current and prior year reporting periods, referred to as “same store” properties, and we believe that the presentation of operating results for same store properties provides useful information to stockholders. Net operating income is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure of a real estate company’s operating performance. Net operating income is considered by management to be a helpful supplemental performance measure, as it enables management to evaluate the impact of occupancy, rents, leasing activity and other controllable property operating results at our real estate properties, and it provides a consistent method for the comparison of our properties. We define net operating income as operating revenues less operating expenses, which exclude (i) depreciation and amortization, (ii) interest expense and other non-property related revenue and expense items such as (a) general and administrative expenses, (b) expense reimbursements to related parties, (c) management fees, (d) transaction-related expenses, (e) real estate impairment, (f) increase in provision for credit losses, (g) gain on disposition of real estate and condominium developments, net, (h) merger-related expenses, net and (i) interest income. Our calculation of net operating income may not be comparable to that of other REITs and should not be considered to be more relevant or accurate in evaluating our operating performance than the current GAAP methodology used in calculating net income (loss). In determining the same store property pool, we include all properties that were owned for the entirety of both the current and prior reporting periods, except for properties during the current or prior year that were under development or redevelopment.

Distributions at any point in time may not reflect the current performance of our assets or our current operating cash flows.
Share Redemptions
Our share redemption program permits our stockholders to sell their shares of common stock back to us, subject to certain conditions and limitations. We will limit the number of shares redeemed pursuant to our share redemption program as follows: (1) we will not redeem in excess of 5% of the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the trailing 12 months prior to the end of the fiscal quarter for which the redemptions are being paid; and (2) funding for the redemption of shares will be limited, among other things, to the net proceeds we receive from the sale of shares under our DRIP, net of shares redeemed to date. In an effort to accommodate redemption requests throughout the calendar year, we will generally limit quarterly redemptions to approximately 1.25% of the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the trailing 12-month period ending on the last day of the fiscal quarter for which the redemptions are being paid, and to the net proceeds we receive from the sale of shares in the respective quarter under the Secondary DRIP Offering. Any of the foregoing limits might prevent us from accommodating all redemption requests made in any fiscal quarter or in any 12-month period. We will determine whether we have sufficient funds and/or shares available as soon as practicable after the end of each fiscal quarter, but in any event prior to the applicable payment date. If we cannot purchase all shares presented for redemption in any fiscal quarter, based upon insufficient cash available from the sale of shares under our DRIP and/or the limit on the number of shares we may redeem during any quarter or year, we will give priority to the redemption of deceased stockholders’ shares and stockholders with exigent circumstances, as determined in our sole discretion and accompanied by such evidentiary documentation as we may request. While the shares of deceased stockholders and stockholders determined to have exigent circumstances will be included in calculating the maximum number of shares that may be redeemed in any annual or quarterly period, they will not be subject to the annual or quarterly percentage caps; therefore, if the volume of requests to redeem deceased stockholders’ shares and stockholders determined to have exigent circumstances in a particular quarter were large enough to cause the annual or quarterly percentage caps to be exceeded, even if no other redemption requests were processed, the redemptions of deceased

stockholders’ shares and stockholders determined to have exigent circumstances would be completed in full, assuming sufficient proceeds from the sale of shares under our DRIP, net of shares redeemed to date, were available. If sufficient proceeds from the sale of shares under our DRIP, net of shares redeemed to date, were not available to pay all such redemptions in full, the requests to redeem deceased stockholders’ shares and shareholders determined to have exigent circumstances would be honored on a pro rata basis. We next will give priority to requests for full redemption of accounts with a balance of 250 shares or less at the time we receive the request, in order to reduce the expense of maintaining small accounts. Thereafter, we will honor the remaining redemption requests on a pro rata basis. Following such quarterly redemption period, if a stockholder would like to resubmit the unsatisfied portion of the prior request for redemption, such stockholder must submit a new request for redemption of such shares prior to the last day of the new quarter. Unfulfilled requests for redemption will not be carried over automatically to subsequent redemption periods. In addition, our management reserves the right, in its sole discretion at any time, and from time to time, to reject any request for redemption for any reason. Our Board may choose to amend the terms of, suspend or terminate our share redemption program at any time in its sole discretion if it believes that such action is in the best interest of us and our stockholders. Any material modifications or suspension of the share redemption program will be disclosed to our stockholders as promptly as practicable in our reports filed with the SEC and via our website. During the six months ended June 30, 2025, we received valid redemption requests under our share redemption program totaling approximately 87.9 million shares, of which we redeemed approximately 1.8 million shares as of June 30, 2025 for $9.2 million (at an average redemption price of $5.24 per share) and approximately 1.4 million shares subsequent to June 30, 2025 for $7.7 million (at an average redemption price of $5.24 per share). The remaining redemption requests relating to 84.7 million shares went unfulfilled. A valid redemption request is one that complies with the applicable requirements and guidelines of the share redemption program then in effect. The share redemptions were funded with proceeds from the Secondary DRIP Offering.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
General
We expect to utilize proceeds from net cash provided by operations, cash proceeds from the sale of credit investments, principal payments received on credit investments, cash proceeds from real estate asset dispositions, proceeds from the Secondary DRIP Offering, proceeds from the sale of subsidiary equity, distributions from certain investments, as well as secured or unsecured borrowings from banks and other lenders to finance our future acquisitions and loan originations, repayment of certain indebtedness, distributions, redemptions and for general corporate uses. The sources of our operating cash flows will primarily be provided by interest income from our portfolio of credit investments and the rental and other property income received from current and future leased properties.

(1)Variance driven by late quarter timing of CMBS sales and debt pay downs, primarily in connection with the Master Repurchase agreement with Wells Fargo and the amended and restated Master Repurchase Agreement with Barclays Bank (as described in further detail in Note 9 — Repurchase Facilities, Notes Payable and Credit Facilities to our consolidated financial statements in this Annual Report on Form 10-K).
Capital Resources
Our principal demands for funds will be for the acquisition or origination of credit investments and real estate, and the payment of tenant improvements, acquisition-related expenses, operating expenses, distributions, redemptions and interest and principal on current and any future debt financings, including principal repayments of $1.7 billion within the next 12 months, $111.1 million of which has a rolling term that resets monthly, as further discussed in Note 9 — Repurchase Facilities, Notes Payable and Credit Facilities to our condensed consolidated financial statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
As of June 30, 2025, we had unfunded commitments of $191.0 million related to 30 loans and unfunded commitments of $47.6 million related to the NewPoint JV. Loan funding commitments are generally subject to certain conditions and the satisfaction of borrower milestones. Therefore, the exact timing and amounts of such future loan fundings are uncertain and will depend on the current and future performance of the underlying collateral assets. We expect to fund our loan commitments over the remaining term of the related loans, which have a weighted-average future funding period of 2.9 years.
Generally, we expect to meet our liquidity requirements through net cash provided by operations, cash proceeds from the sale of credit investments, principal payments received on credit investments, cash proceeds from real estate asset dispositions, proceeds from the Secondary DRIP Offering, proceeds from the sale of subsidiary equity, distributions, as well as secured or unsecured borrowings from banks and other lenders to finance our future acquisitions and loan originations, repayment of certain indebtedness and for general corporate uses. We expect that substantially all net cash flows from operations will be used to pay distributions to our stockholders after certain capital expenditures, including tenant improvements and leasing commissions, are paid; however, we have used, and may continue to use, other sources to fund distributions, as necessary, including borrowings on our unencumbered assets. To the extent that cash flows from operations are lower, distributions paid to our stockholders may be lower. We expect that substantially all net cash flows from the Secondary DRIP Offering or debt financings will be used to fund acquisitions, loan originations, certain capital expenditures, repayments of outstanding debt or distributions and redemptions to our stockholders. We believe that the resources stated above will be sufficient to satisfy our operating requirements for the foreseeable future, and we do not anticipate a need to raise funds from sources other than those described above within the next 12 months.
Contractual Obligations
As of June 30, 2025, we had debt outstanding with a carrying value of $3.0 billion and a weighted average interest rate of 5.4%. See Note 9 — Repurchase Facilities, Notes Payable and Credit Facilities to our condensed consolidated financial statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for certain terms of our debt outstanding, including extension options.

The allocation of our unfunded loan commitments is based on the earlier of the commitment expiration date or the final maturity date; however, we may be obligated to fund these commitments earlier than such date. This table does not include $47.6 million of unfunded commitments related to the NewPoint JV.
(3)Interest payments on the variable rate debt, credit facilities and repurchase facilities have been calculated based on outstanding balances as of June 30, 2025 through their respective maturity dates. This is only an estimate as actual amounts borrowed and interest rates could vary over time.
We expect to incur additional borrowings in the future to acquire additional properties and credit investments. There is no limitation on the amount we may borrow against any single improved property. As of June 30, 2025, our ratio of debt to total gross assets net of gross intangible lease liabilities was 61.2%.
Cash Flow Analysis
Operating Activities. Net cash provided by operating activities decreased by $18.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to the same period in 2024. The change was primarily due to a decrease in interest income of $52.6 million, primarily driven by a net decrease in credit investments of $732.6 million. The decrease in credit investments was primarily a result of a net decrease of $317.1 million in liquid corporate senior loans subsequent to June 30, 2024, $265.4 million of which related to the sale of liquid corporate senior loans associated with the Master Participation Agreement, a net decrease of $487.8 million in first mortgage loans subsequent to June 30, 2024, primarily related to the Company taking possession of the underlying assets of two first mortgage loans through deeds-in-lieu of foreclosure, and a net decrease of real estate-related securities and other of $37.9 million. The decrease was further driven by a decline in interest rates during the period ending June 30, 2025 as compared to the same period in 2024. The decrease was also due to the disposition of nine properties for an aggregate gross sales price of $52.5 million subsequent to June 30, 2024. The decrease was partially offset by the acquisition of four properties, including two properties acquired through deeds-in-lieu of foreclosure, for an aggregate fair value at the time of acquisition of $195.2 million subsequent to June 30, 2024. See “— Results of Operations” for a more complete discussion of the factors impacting our operating performance.
Investing Activities. For the six months ended June 30, 2025, net cash provided by investing activities decreased $190.6 million during the six months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to the same period in 2024. The change was primarily due to a $164.4 million decrease in net proceeds from loans held-for-investment during the six months ended June 30, 2025 as well as a decrease in principal payments received on real estate-related securities of $49.8 million. The change was further driven by a decrease in net proceeds from the disposition of real estate assets and condominium units of $24.6 million, as the Company disposed of four properties and 11 condominium units during the six months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to two properties and eight condominium units disposed of during the same period in 2024. The decrease was partially offset by $17.1 million in net proceeds on unconsolidated entities during the six months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to $25.6 million in net investment in unconsolidated entities during the same period in 2024.
Financing Activities. For the six months ended June 30, 2025, net cash used in financing activities decreased by $19.9 million, as compared to the same period in 2024. The change was primarily due to a decrease in distributions to shareholders of $14.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024.

Election as a REIT
We elected to be taxed, and operate our business to qualify, as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes commencing with our taxable year ended December 31, 2012. To maintain our qualification as a REIT, we must continue to meet certain requirements relating to our organization, sources of income, nature of assets, distributions of income to our stockholders and recordkeeping. As a REIT, we generally are not subject to federal income tax on taxable income that we distribute to our stockholders so long as we distribute at least 90% of our annual taxable income (computed without regard to the dividends paid deduction and excluding net capital gains).
If we fail to maintain our qualification as a REIT for any reason in a taxable year and applicable relief provisions do not apply, we will be subject to tax on our taxable income at regular corporate rates. We will not be able to deduct distributions paid to our stockholders in any year in which we fail to maintain our qualification as a REIT. We also will be disqualified for the four taxable years following the year during which qualification was lost, unless we are entitled to relief under specific statutory provisions. Such an event could materially adversely affect our net income and net cash available for distribution to stockholders. However, we believe that we are organized and operate in such a manner as to maintain our qualification as a REIT for federal income tax purposes. No provision for federal income taxes has been made in our accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements. We are subject to certain state and local taxes related to the operations of properties in certain locations, which have been provided for in our accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.
Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Accounting Estimates
Our accounting policies have been established to conform with GAAP. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to use judgment in the application of accounting policies, including making estimates and assumptions. These judgments affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Management believes that we have made these estimates and assumptions in an appropriate manner and in a way that accurately reflects our financial condition. We continually test and evaluate these estimates and assumptions using our historical knowledge of the business, as well as other factors, to ensure that they are reasonable for reporting purposes. However, actual results may differ from these estimates and assumptions. If our judgment or interpretation of the facts and circumstances relating to various transactions had been different, it is possible that different accounting policies would have been applied, thus resulting in a different presentation of the financial statements. Additionally, other companies may utilize different estimates that may impact comparability of our results of operations to those of companies in similar businesses. We believe the following critical accounting policies govern the significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our financial statements, which should be read in conjunction with the more complete discussion of our accounting policies and procedures included in Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies to our audited consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. We consider our critical accounting policies to be the following:
•Current Expected Credit Losses;
•Recoverability of Real Estate Assets; and
•Allocation of Purchase Price of Real Estate Assets.
A complete description of such policies and our considerations is contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. The information included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2024 and related notes thereto.
Related-Party Transactions and Agreements
We have entered into agreements with CMFT Management and our Investment Advisor whereby we agree to pay certain fees to, or reimburse certain expenses of, CMFT Management, the Investment Advisor or their affiliates. In addition, we have invested in, and may continue to invest in, certain co-investments with funds that are advised by an affiliate of CMFT Management. We may also originate loans to third parties that use the proceeds to finance the acquisition of real estate from funds that are advised by an affiliate of CMFT Management. See Note 11 — Related-Party Transactions and Arrangements to our condensed consolidated financial statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for a discussion of the various related-party transactions, agreements and fees.
Conflicts of Interest
Richard S. Ressler, the chairman of our Board, chief executive officer and president, who is also a founder and principal of CIM Group and is an officer/director of certain of its affiliates, is the vice president of our manager. Through his affiliation with
67
Orchard Capital Corporation, Mr. Ressler chairs the executive committee of Orchard First Source Asset Management Holdings, LLC, the holding Company of our Investment Advisor. Additionally, one of our directors, Jason Schreiber, is an employee of CIM Group. Nathan D. DeBacker, our chief financial officer, principal accounting officer and treasurer, is an employee of CIM Group, the vice president of our manager, and is an officer of certain of its affiliates. As such, there may be conflicts of interest where CMFT Management or its affiliates, while serving in the capacity as sponsor, general partner, officer, director, key personnel and/or advisor for CIM Group or another program sponsored or operated by affiliates of our manager, may be in conflict with us in connection with providing services to other real estate-related programs related to property acquisitions, property dispositions, and property management, among others. The compensation arrangements between affiliates of CMFT Management and these other real estate programs sponsored or operated by affiliates of our manager could influence the advice provided to us. See Part I, Item 1. Business — Conflicts of Interest in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.
Item 3.Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Market Risk
The market risk associated with financial instruments and derivative financial instruments is the risk of loss from adverse changes in market prices or interest rates. Our market risk arises primarily from interest rate risk relating to variable rate borrowings. To meet our short and long-term liquidity requirements, we borrow funds at a combination of fixed and variable rates. Our interest rate risk management objectives are to limit the impact of interest rate changes on earnings and cash flows and to manage our overall borrowing costs. To achieve these objectives, from time to time, we may enter into interest rate hedge contracts such as swaps, collars and treasury lock agreements in order to mitigate our interest rate risk with respect to various debt instruments. We do not intend to hold or issue these derivative contracts for trading or speculative purposes. We do not have any foreign operations and thus we are not exposed to foreign currency fluctuations.
Interest Rate Risk
Interest rates are highly sensitive to many factors, including fiscal and monetary policies and domestic and international economic and political considerations, as well as other factors beyond our control. We are subject to interest rate risk in connection with our investments and the related financing obligations. In general, we seek to match the interest rate characteristics of our investments with the interest rate characteristics of any related financing obligations such as repurchase agreements, bank credit facilities, term loans, revolving facilities and securitizations.
As of June 30, 2025, we had an aggregate of $2.3 billion of variable rate debt, excluding any debt subject to interest rate swap agreements and interest rate cap agreements, if any, and therefore, we are exposed to interest rate changes in SOFR. As of June 30, 2025, an increase or decrease of 50 basis points in interest rates would result in an increase or decrease in interest expense of $11.4 million per year.
As the information presented above includes only those exposures that existed as of June 30, 2025, it does not consider exposures or positions arising after that date. The information presented herein has limited predictive value. Future actual realized gains or losses with respect to interest rate fluctuations will depend on cumulative exposures, hedging strategies employed and the magnitude of the fluctuations.
These amounts were determined by considering the impact of hypothetical interest rate changes on our borrowing costs and assume no other changes in our capital structure.
Credit Risk
Concentrations of credit risk arise when a number of tenants are engaged in similar business activities, or activities in the same geographic region, or have similar economic features that would cause their ability to meet contractual obligations, including those to us, to be similarly affected by changes in economic conditions. We are subject to tenant, geographic and industry concentrations. Any downturn of the economic conditions in one or more of these tenants, states or industries could result in a material reduction of our cash flows or material losses to us.
The factors considered in determining the credit risk of our tenants include, but are not limited to: payment history; credit status and change in status (credit ratings for public companies are used as a primary metric); change in tenant space needs (i.e., expansion/downsize); tenant financial performance; economic conditions in a specific geographic region; and industry specific credit considerations. We believe that the credit risk of our portfolio is reduced by the high quality of our existing tenant base, reviews of prospective tenants’ risk profiles prior to lease execution and consistent monitoring of our portfolio to identify potential problem tenants and mitigation options.
68
Our loans and investments are also subject to credit risk. The performance and value of our loans and investments depend upon the owners’ 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, our manager reviews our investment portfolios and in certain instances is in regular contact with our borrowers, monitoring performance of the collateral and enforcing our rights as necessary.
Item 4.Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our reports under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to us, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, we recognize that no controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide absolute assurance of achieving the desired control objectives.
As required by Rules 13a-15(b) and 15d-15(b) of the Exchange Act, an evaluation as of June 30, 2025 was conducted under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act). Based on this evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures, as of June 30, 2025, were effective at a reasonable assurance level.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
No change occurred in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) during the three months ended June 30, 2025 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
69
PART II — OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1.Legal Proceedings
In the ordinary course of business, we may become subject to litigation or claims. We are not aware of any material pending legal proceedings, other than ordinary routine litigation incidental to our business, to which we or our subsidiaries are a party or to which our properties are the subject.
Item 1A.Risk Factors
There have been no material changes from the risk factors set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.
Item 2.Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
Our share redemption program permits our stockholders to sell their shares of common stock back to us, subject to certain conditions and limitations. We will limit the number of shares redeemed pursuant to our share redemption program as follows: (1) we will not redeem in excess of 5% of the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the trailing 12 months prior to the end of the fiscal quarter for which the redemptions are being paid; and (2) funding for the redemption of shares will be limited, among other things, to the net proceeds we receive from the sale of shares under our DRIP, net of shares redeemed to date. In an effort to accommodate redemption requests throughout the calendar year, we will generally limit quarterly redemptions to approximately 1.25% of the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the trailing 12-month period ending on the last day of the fiscal quarter for which the redemptions are being paid, and to the net proceeds we receive from the sale of shares in the respective quarter under the Secondary DRIP Offering. Any of the foregoing limits might prevent us from accommodating all redemption requests made in any fiscal quarter or in any 12-month period. As of June 30, 2025, the most recent estimated per share NAV was $5.22, which was determined by the Board on March 20, 2025 using a valuation date of December 31, 2024.
In general, we redeem shares on a quarterly basis. Shares are redeemed with a trade date no later than the end of the month following the end of each fiscal quarter. Any redemption capacity that is not used as a result of the withdrawal or rejection of redemption requests may be used to satisfy the redemption requests of other stockholders received for that fiscal quarter, and such redemption payments may be made at a later time than when that quarter’s redemption payments are made. During the three months ended June 30, 2025, we redeemed shares, including those redeemable due to death, as follows:
