Richard Byrne, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of FBRT, said, “We are very pleased with the Company's distributable earnings growth versus last quarter. Importantly, our multifamily-focused portfolio continues to demonstrate stability which positions us to deliver consistent performance over the long term."

Further commenting on the Company's results, Michael Comparato, President of FBRT, added, “We have been actively originating loans, and have committed to $756 million of originations year-to-date. This has fueled net growth in our portfolio. With our robust pipeline and ample liquidity, we are well-positioned to further grow our portfolio and capitalize on market opportunities, all while keeping an active eye on the existing legacy portfolio and working through issues as needed."

Core Portfolio

The Company's core portfolio at the end of the quarter consisted of 145 loans with an aggregate principal balance of approximately $5.2 billion. The average loan size was approximately $36 million.

The Company's exposure to office loans is only 6%. As of March 31, 2024, the Company had six loans on its watch list, all of which are risk rated a four.

1 Fully converted per share information in this press release assumes applicable conversion of our series of outstanding convertible preferred stock into common stock and the vesting of our outstanding equity compensation awards.

Conduit

For the quarter ended March 31, 2024, the Company closed $131 million of fixed rate loans that were sold or will be sold through FBRT's conduit program. During the same period, the Company sold $101 million of conduit loans for a gain of $5.5 million, gross of related derivatives.

Allowance for Credit Losses

During the quarter, the Company recognized an additional incremental provision for credit losses of approximately $2.9 million, with $0.7 million of the increase related to an asset-specific provision.

Book Value

As of March 31, 2024, book value was $15.68 per diluted common share on a fully converted basis(1).

Share Repurchase Program

During the quarter, the Company repurchased 151,123 shares of the Company's common stock under the Company's $65 million share repurchase program. These shares were repurchased at an average price of $12.42 per share, inclusive of any broker's fees or commissions, for an aggregate of $1.9 million. As of April 19, 2024, $32.1 million remains available under the $65 million share repurchase plan.

Distributable Earnings and Distributable Earnings to Common

Distributable Earnings is a non-GAAP measure, which the Company defines as GAAP net income (loss), adjusted for (i) non-cash CLO amortization acceleration and amortization over the expected useful life of the Company's CLOs, (ii) unrealized gains and losses on loans, derivatives and ARMs, including CECL reserves and impairments, (iii) non-cash equity compensation expense, (iv) depreciation and amortization, (v) subordinated performance fee accruals/(reversal), (vi) realized gains and losses on debt extinguishment and CLO calls, and (vii) certain other non-cash items. Further, Distributable Earnings to Common, a non-GAAP measure, presents Distributable Earnings net of (i) perpetual preferred stock dividend payments and (ii) non-controlling interests in joint ventures.

The Company believes that Distributable Earnings and Distributable Earnings to Common provide meaningful information to consider in addition to the disclosed GAAP results. The Company believes Distributable Earnings and Distributable Earnings to Common are useful financial metrics for existing and potential future holders of its common stock as historically, over time, Distributable Earnings to Common has been an indicator of common dividends per share. As a REIT, the Company generally must distribute annually at least 90% of its taxable income, subject to certain adjustments, and therefore believes dividends are one of the principal reasons stockholders may invest in its common stock. Further, Distributable Earnings to Common helps investors evaluate performance excluding the effects of certain transactions and GAAP adjustments that the Company does not believe are necessarily indicative of current loan portfolio performance and the Company's operations and is one of the performance metrics the Company's board of directors considers when dividends are declared.

Distributable Earnings and Distributable Earnings to Common do not represent net income (loss) and should not be considered as an alternative to GAAP net income (loss). The methodology for calculating Distributable Earnings and Distributable Earnings to Common may differ from the methodologies employed by other companies and thus may not be comparable to the Distributable Earnings reported by other companies.

Please refer to the financial statements and reconciliation of GAAP Net Income to Distributable Earnings and Distributable Earnings to Common included at the end of this release for further information.

1 Fully converted per share information in this press release assumes applicable conversion of our series of outstanding convertible preferred stock into common stock and the vesting of our outstanding equity compensation awards.

________________________

(1) Before Q1 2024, we adjusted GAAP income for non-cash CLO amortization acceleration to effectively amortize the issuance costs of our CLOs over the expected lifetime of the CLOs. We assume our CLOs will be outstanding for approximately four years and amortized the financing costs over approximately four years in our distributable earnings as compared to effective yield methodology in our GAAP earnings. Starting in Q1 2024, we amortized the issuance costs incurred on our CLOs over the expected lifetime of the CLOs in our GAAP presentation, making our previous adjustment no longer necessary.

(2) Represents unrealized gains and losses on (i) commercial mortgage loans, held for sale, measured at fair value, (ii) other real estate investments, measured at fair value and (iii) derivatives.

(3) Represents accrued and unpaid subordinated performance fee. In addition, reversal of subordinated performance fee represents cash payment obligations in the quarter.

(4) Represents the average of all classes of equity except the Series E Preferred Stock.

(5) Fully Converted assumes conversion of our series of convertible preferred stock and full vesting of our outstanding equity compensation awards.

Total commitment for 1Q 2024 totaled $591m 2. Includes full paydowns, dispositions, partial paydowns and amortization 3. In February 2024, the Company, through deed-in-lieu of foreclosure, acquired a multifamily property located in San Antonio, TX, and assumed the senior mortgage note which the Company originated in November 2021. At the time of the deed-in-lieu of foreclosure, the amortized cost of the loan was $42.2 million and contractual interest was satisfied. Subsequently thereafter, the property was sold to a third party. In connection with the sale, the senior mortgage note which the Company originated in November 2021 was assumed by the buyer and immediately modified, resulting in a $5.9 million principal paydown. As a result, the modification was accounted for as a new loan for GAAP purposes and the sale of the real estate owned transaction resulted in a net gain of $6.0 thousand recorded in Gain/(loss) on other real estate investments in the consolidated statement of operations.

Before Q1 2024, we adjusted GAAP income for non-cash CLO amortization acceleration to effectively amortize the issuance costs of our CLOs over the expected lifetime of the CLOs. We assume our CLOs will be outstanding for approximately four years and amortized the financing costs over approximately four years in our distributable earnings as compared to effective yield methodology in our GAAP earnings. Starting in Q1 2024, we amortized the issuance cost incurred on our CLOs over the expected lifetime of the CLOs in our GAAP presentation, making our previous adjustments no longer necessary. 2. Represents unrealized gains and losses on (i) commercial mortgage loans, held for sale, measured at fair value, (ii) other real estate investments, measured at fair value, (iii) derivatives, and (iv) ARMs. 3. Represents accrued and unpaid subordinated performance fee. In addition, reversal of subordinated performance fee represents cash payment obligations in the quarter. 4. Represents loan workout charges the Company incurred, which the Company deemed likely to be recovered. Reversal of loan workout charges represent recoveries received. During the second quarter of 2023, the Company recovered $5.1 million of loan workout charges, in aggregate, related to the loan workout charges incurred in the first, second, and third quarters of 2022 amounting to $1.9 million, $3.0 million, and $0.2 million, respectively. 5. Represents the actual realized cash loss on REO investments, which may be different than the GAAP basis. 6. Represents the average of all classes of equity except the Series E Preferred Stock. 7. Fully converted per share information assumes applicable conversion of our outstanding series of convertible preferred stock into common stock and the full vesting of our outstanding equity compensation awards.

B E N E F I T S T R E E T P A R T N E R S | A L C E N T R A 27 Definitions Distributable Earnings and Distributable Earnings to Common Distributable Earnings is a non-GAAP measure, which the Company defines as GAAP net income (loss), adjusted for (i) non-cash CLO amortization acceleration and amortization over the expected useful life of the Company's CLOs, (ii) unrealized gains and losses on loans, derivatives and ARMs, including CECL reserves and impairments, (iii) non-cash equity compensation expense, (iv) depreciation and amortization, (v) subordinated performance fee accruals/(reversal), (vi) loan workout charges, (vii) realized gains and losses on debt extinguishment and CLO calls, (viii) realized cash loss on a specific real estate owned ("REO") investment and (ix) certain other non-cash items. Further, Distributable Earnings to Common, a non-GAAP measure, presents Distributable Earnings net of (i) perpetual preferred stock dividend payments and (ii) non-controlling interests in joint ventures. The Company believes that Distributable Earnings and Distributable Earnings to Common provide meaningful information to consider in addition to the disclosed GAAP results. The Company believes Distributable Earnings and Distributable Earnings to Common are a useful financial metrics for existing and potential future holders of its common stock as historically, over time, Distributable Earnings to Common has been an indicator of common dividends per share. As a REIT, the Company generally must distribute annually at least 90% of its taxable income, subject to certain adjustments, and therefore believes dividends are one of the principal reasons stockholders may invest in its common stock. Further, Distributable Earnings to Common helps investors evaluate performance excluding the effects of certain transactions and GAAP adjustments that the Company does not believe are necessarily indicative of current loan portfolio performance and the Company's operations and is one of the performance metrics the Company's board of directors considers when dividends are declared. Distributable Earnings and Distributable Earnings to Common do not represent net income (loss) and should not be considered as an alternative to GAAP net income (loss). The methodology for calculating Distributable Earnings and Distributable Earnings to Common may differ from the methodologies employed by other companies and thus may not be comparable to the Distributable Earnings reported by other companies.
