--- ---

Richard Byrne, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of FBRT, said “FBRT’s merger with Capstead Mortgage Corporation closed on October 19, 2021 and our results represent the combination of both companies. We look forward to continuing to redirect Capstead’s residential ARM portfolio into our higher yielding commercial real estate lending opportunities, consistent with our post-merger strategy. We have further reduced the ARM portfolio to $2.4 billion as of February 18, 2022. This represents a 66% reduction from $7.1 billion at September 30, 2021^(2)^. As we conclude a year of milestones at FBRT, we are well positioned to continue to produce attractive risk-adjusted returns for our stockholders.”

Further commenting on our results, Michael Comparato, Head of Commercial Real Estate of BSP added “Our commercial real estate platform had a record quarter further validating our strength in the middle-market lending category. Looking into 2022, our pipeline remains robust with strong deal flow. We are excited to build on our momentum from 2021.”

Portfolio and Investment Activity

Core portfolio: For the quarter ended December 31, 2021, we closed $1.6 billion of loan commitments, funded $1.5 billion of principal balance and received loan repayments of $532 million. This activity resulted in net core portfolio growth of $970 million. Our core portfolio at the end of the quarter had 165 loans with an aggregate principal balance of approximately $4.2 billion. The average loan size was $26 million. Over 99% of our aggregate principal balance is in senior mortgage loans with approximately 97% in floating rate loans. When looking at the sector composition of our portfolio, approximately 70% is collateralized by multifamily properties. As of December 31, 2021, we had one non-performing loan.

^1^ Fully converted per share information in this press release assumes conversion of our RSUs and Series A, Series C, Series D and Series F preferred shares to common shares.

^2^ September 30, 2021 was the date the equity exchange ratio was determined for the merger.

Residential ARM portfolio: As of December 31, 2021, the value of the Company’s ARM Agency Securities portfolio was $4.6 billion. The reduction in the value of the ARM Agency Securities portfolio from October 19, 2021 to December 31, 2021 is due in part to (i) $359 million of principal paydowns and (ii) $1.9 billion of sales. During that period, the Company experienced trading losses of $34.8 million related to these assets. Merger transaction costs and mark to market adjustments on the ARM portfolio were the principal difference between GAAP net income and Distributable Earnings.

Conduit: For the quarter ended December 31, 2021, we closed $99 million of fixed rate loans that we sold or plan to sell through our conduit program. For the same period, we sold $65 million of conduit loans for a gain of $2 million gross of derivatives.

Financing: On December 21, 2021, the Company closed a $900 million dollar managed Commercial Real Estate Collateralized Loan Obligation (“FL7 CRE CLO”). The FL7 CRE CLO featured a two-year reinvestment period with an initial advance rate of 80.25% and a weighted average interest rate of L+1.64% before accounting for transaction costs.

Book Value

As of December 31, 2021, book value was $17.25 per fully converted common share^(1)^.

First Quarter 2022 ARM Portfolio Update

As of February 18, 2022, the value of the Company’s ARM Agency Securities portfolio was $2.4 billion. The reduction in the value of the ARM Agency Securities portfolio from January 1, 2022 to February 18, 2022 is due in part to (i) $265 million of principal paydowns and (ii) $1.8 billion of sales. From January 1, 2022 to February 18, 2022, the Company experienced losses of $38.1 million related to the ARM Agency Securities portfolio.

First Quarter 2022 Common and Preferred Dividends

FBRT’s Board of Directors declared a first quarter 2022 common dividend of $0.355 per common share. The dividend is payable on April 11, 2022 to common stockholders of record as of March 31, 2022. The Board of Directors also declared first quarter 2022 dividends on its convertible Series C, D and F Preferred Stock in amounts equal to the as-converted common dividend amounts.

FBRT’s Board of Directors also declared a first quarter 2022 dividend of $0.46875 per share on its 7.50% Series E Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock (NYSE: FBRTPRE). This dividend is payable on April 18, 2022 to Series E preferred stockholders of record as of March 31, 2022.

Distributable Earnings

Distributable Earnings is a non-GAAP measure, which we define as GAAP net income (loss), adjusted for (i) non-cash CLO amortization acceleration and amortization over our expected useful life of our 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) non-cash incentive fee accruals, (vi) certain other non-cash items, and (vii) impairments of non-financial assets related to the Capstead merger.

We believe that Distributable Earnings provides meaningful information to consider in addition to our GAAP results. We believe Distributable Earnings is a useful financial metric for existing and potential future holders of our common stock as historically, overtime, Distributable Earnings has been an indicator of our dividends per share. As a REIT, we generally must distribute annually at least 90% of our net taxable income, subject to certain adjustments, and therefore we believe our dividends are one of the principal reasons stockholders may invest in our common stock. Further, Distributable Earnings helps us to evaluate our performance excluding the effects of certain transactions and GAAP adjustments that we believe are not necessarily indicative of our current loan portfolio and operations and is one of the performance metrics we consider when declaring our dividends.

Distributable Earnings does not represent net income (loss) and should not be considered as an alternative to GAAP net income (loss). Our methodology for calculating Distributable Earnings 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 included at the end of this release for further information.

^1^ Fully converted per share information in this press release assumes conversion of our RSUs and Series A, Series C, Series D and Series F preferred shares to common shares.

^2^ September 30, 2021 was the date the equity exchange ratio was determined for the merger.
