Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(unaudited)

Note 1. Organization

Claros Mortgage Trust, Inc. (referred to throughout this report as the “Company,” “we,” “us” and “our”) is a Maryland Corporation formed on April 29, 2015 for the purpose of creating a diversified portfolio of income-producing loans collateralized by institutional quality commercial real estate. We commenced operations on August 25, 2015 (“Commencement of Operations”) and generally conduct our business through wholly-owned subsidiaries. Unless the context requires otherwise, any references to the Company refers to the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries. The Company is traded on the New York Stock Exchange, or NYSE, under the symbol “CMTG”.

We elected and intend to maintain our qualification to be taxed as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) under the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Internal Revenue Code”), for U.S. federal income tax purposes. As such, we generally are not subject to U.S. federal income tax on that portion of our income that we distribute to stockholders. See Note 13 – Income Taxes for further detail.

We are externally managed by Claros REIT Management LP (the “Manager”), our affiliate, through a management agreement (the “Management Agreement”) pursuant to which our Manager provides a management team and other professionals who are responsible for implementing our business strategy, subject to the supervision of our board of directors (the “Board”). In exchange for its services, our Manager is entitled to management fees and, upon the achievement of required performance hurdles, incentive fees. See Note 11 – Related Party Transactions for further detail.

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).

These unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, as filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair statement of our financial position, results of operations and cash flows have been included. Our results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year or any other future period.

We consolidate all entities that are controlled either through majority ownership or voting rights. We also identify entities for which control is achieved through means other than through voting rights (a variable interest entity or “VIE”) using the analysis as set forth in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 810, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, and determine when and which variable interest holder, if any, should consolidate the VIE. We do not have any consolidated variable interest entities as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 . All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Estimates that are particularly susceptible to our judgment include, but are not limited to, the adequacy of our current expected credit loss reserve, the determination of the fair value of real estate assets acquired and liabilities assumed, and the impairment of certain assets.

Risks and Uncertainties

In the normal course of business, we primarily encounter two significant types of economic risk: credit and market. Credit risk is the risk of default on our loans receivable that results from a borrower’s or counterparty’s inability or unwillingness to make contractually required payments. Market risk reflects changes in the value of the loans receivable due to changes in interest rates, spreads or other market factors, including risks that impact the value of the collateral underlying our loans receivable. We believe that the carrying values of our loans receivable are reasonable taking into consideration these risks.

Current Expected Credit Losses

The current expected credit loss (“CECL”) reserve required under ASC 326, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses, reflects our current estimate of potential credit losses related to our loan portfolio. Changes to the CECL reserve are recognized through a provision for or reversal of current expected credit loss reserve on our consolidated statements of operations. ASC 326 specifies the reserve should be based on relevant information about past events, including historical loss experience, current loan portfolio, market conditions and reasonable and supportable macroeconomic forecasts through our loan portfolio’s expected remaining duration.

General CECL Reserve

Our loans are typically collateralized by real estate, or in the case of mezzanine loans, by an equity interest in an entity that owns real estate. We consider key credit quality indicators in underwriting loans and estimating credit losses, including: the capitalization of borrowers and sponsors; the expertise of the borrowers and sponsors in a particular real estate sector and geographic market; collateral type; geographic region; use and occupancy of the property; property market value; loan-to-value (“LTV”) ratio; loan amount and lien position; our risk ratings; and prior experience with the borrower/sponsor. This information is used to assess the financial and operating capability, experience and profitability of the borrower/sponsor. Ultimate repayment of our loans is sensitive to interest rate changes, general economic conditions, performance of the collateral asset, liquidity, LTV ratio, existence of a liquid investment sales market for commercial properties, and availability of replacement financing.

We regularly evaluate on a loan-by-loan basis, the extent and impact of any credit deterioration associated with the performance and/or value of the underlying collateral property, the financial and operating capability of the borrower/sponsor, the financial strength of loan guarantors, if any, and the overall economic environment, real estate sector, and geographic sub-market in which the borrower operates. Such analyses are completed and reviewed by asset management personnel and evaluated by senior management on at least a quarterly basis, utilizing various data sources, including, to the extent available, (i) periodic financial data such as property occupancy, tenant profile, rental rates, operating expenses, the borrower’s exit plan, and capitalization and discount rates, (ii) site inspections, (iii) sales and financing comparables, (iv) current credit spreads for refinancing and (v) other relevant market data.

We primarily arrive at our general CECL reserve using the Weighted Average Remaining Maturity, or WARM method, which is considered an acceptable loss-rate method for estimating CECL reserves by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”). The application of the WARM method to estimate a general CECL reserve requires judgment, including the appropriate historical loan loss reference data, the expected timing and amount of future loan fundings and repayments, the current credit quality of our portfolio, and our expectations of performance and market conditions over the relevant time period.

The WARM method requires us to reference historical loan loss data from a comparable data set and apply such loss rate to each of our loans over their expected remaining duration, taking into consideration expected economic conditions over the forecasted timeframe. Our general CECL reserve reflects our forecast of the current and future macroeconomic conditions that may impact the performance of the commercial real estate assets securing our loans and each borrower’s ultimate ability to repay. These estimates include unemployment rates, price indices for commercial properties, and market liquidity, all of which may influence the likelihood and magnitude of potential credit losses for our loans during their expected remaining duration. Additionally, further adjustments may be made based upon loan positions senior to ours, the risk rating of a loan, whether a loan is a construction loan, whether the loan’s initial maturity is near-term, or the economic conditions specific to the property type of a loan’s underlying collateral.

To estimate an annual historical loss rate, we obtained historical loss rate data for loans most comparable to our loan portfolio from a commercial mortgage-backed securities database licensed by a third party, Trepp, LLC, which contains historical loss data from January 1, 1999 through September 30, 2025. We believe this CMBS data is the most relevant, available, and comparable dataset to our portfolio.

When evaluating the current and future macroeconomic environment, we consider the aforementioned macroeconomic factors. Historical data for each metric is compared to historical commercial real estate credit losses in order to determine the relationship between the two variables. We use projections of each macroeconomic factor, obtained from a third party, to approximate the impact the macroeconomic outlook may have on our loss rate. Selections of these economic forecasts require judgment about future events that, while based on the information available to us as of the balance sheet date, are ultimately subjective and uncertain, and the actual economic conditions could vary significantly from the estimates we made. Following a reasonable and supportable forecast period, we use a straight-line method of reverting to the historical loss rate. Additionally, we assess the obligation to extend credit through our unfunded loan commitments through their expected remaining duration, adjusted for projected fundings from interest reserves, if applicable, which is considered in the estimate of the general CECL reserve. For both the funded and unfunded portions of our loans, we consider our internal risk rating of each loan as the primary credit quality indicator underlying our assessment.

estate. Grading criteria include, but are not limited to, as-is or as-stabilized debt yield, term of loan, property type, property or collateral location, loan type, structure, collateral cash flow volatility and other more subjective variables that include, but are not limited to, as-is or as-stabilized collateral value, market conditions, industry conditions, borrower/sponsor financial stability, and borrower/sponsor exit plan. While evaluating the credit quality of each loan within our portfolio, we assess these quantitative and qualitative factors as a whole and with no pre-prescribed weight on their impact to our determination of a loan’s risk rating. However, based upon the facts and circumstances for each loan and the overall market conditions, we may consider certain previously mentioned factors more or less relevant than others. We utilize the grading system to determine each loan’s risk of loss and to provide a determination as to whether an individual loan is impaired and whether a specific CECL reserve is necessary. Based on a 5-point scale, the loans are graded “1” through “5,” from less risk to greater risk, which gradings are defined as follows:

Very Low Risk

Low Risk

Medium Risk

High Risk/Potential for Loss: A loan that has a risk of realizing a principal loss

Impaired/Loss Likely: A loan that has a very high risk of realizing a principal loss or has otherwise incurred a principal loss

Specific CECL Reserve

In certain circumstances, we may determine that a loan is no longer suited for the WARM method because (i) it has unique risk characteristics, (ii) we have deemed the borrower/sponsor to be experiencing financial difficulty and the repayment of the loan’s principal is collateral-dependent, (iii) we anticipate assuming legal title and/or physical possession of the underlying collateral property and the fair value of the collateral asset is determined to be below the carrying value of our loan, and/or (iv) recovery of our loan may occur at an amount below our loan’s carrying value. We may instead elect to employ different methods to estimate credit losses that also conform to ASC 326 and related guidance. For such loans, we would separately measure the specific reserve for each loan by using the estimated fair value of the loan’s collateral. In certain circumstances, we may recognize a specific reserve based upon anticipated proceeds from the disposition of our loan. If the estimated fair value of the collateral or anticipated proceeds from the disposition of our loan is less than the carrying value of the loan, an asset-specific reserve is created as a component of our overall current expected credit loss reserve. Specific reserves are equal to the excess of a loan’s carrying value to the estimated fair value of the collateral or anticipated proceeds from the disposition of our loan. If recovery of our loan is expected from the sale of the collateral and such costs will reduce amounts recovered by us, specific reserves are equal to the excess of a loan’s carrying value to the estimated fair value of the collateral less estimated costs to sell.

If we have determined that a loan or a portion of a loan is uncollectible, we will write off the amount deemed uncollectible through an adjustment to our CECL reserve. If we have determined that accrued interest receivable previously recognized under our revenue recognition policy is uncollectible, we will either reverse such amount against interest income or reserve for such amount through an adjustment to our CECL reserve. Significant judgment is required in determining impairment and in estimating the resulting credit loss reserve, and actual losses, if any, could materially differ from those estimates.

Balance at December 31, 2024 does not include general CECL reserve .

In March 2025, we agreed to a loan repayment of a land loan with a then unpaid principal balance of $ 183.0 million and deferred interest of $ 6.4 million, which resulted in (i) a discounted loan payoff of $ 164.7 million, (ii) a discounted repayment of deferred interest of $ 2.9 million, and (iii) a waiver of a $ 0.5 million exit fee. As a result of this repayment, we recognized a $ 22.3 million charge-off through our provision for current expected credit loss reserve.

In April 2025, we agreed to a loan repayment of a subordinate loan secured by an equity interest in a retail property in Brooklyn, NY with a then unpaid principal balance of $ 886,000 and a carrying value prior to a specific CECL reserve of $ 884,000 , which resulted in a discounted loan payoff of $ 775,000 . Prior to this repayment, the loan was risk rated 5, on non-accrual status, and fully reserved for as part of our specific CECL reserves. As a result of this repayment, we reversed the specific CECL reserve and recognized a $ 109,000 charge-off through our provision for current expected credit loss reserve.

In September 2025, through a mortgage foreclosure auction of the underlying collateral asset, we entered into an agreement with an unaffiliated purchaser to sell our right, title, and interest in the collateral asset for a gross sales price of $ 28.1 million. The sale was completed in October 2025 and, as a result, this loan was classified as held-for-sale and a principal charge-off was recognized as of September 30, 2025.

(4)

Principal charge-offs and valuation allowance attributable to the delinquency of the loan and its $ 23.8 million of remaining unfunded commitments. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and through the sale of this loan in May 2025, we recognized a further adjustment to reduce the held-for-sale carrying value of this loan by $ 41.8 million as a result of additional protective advances made and a reduction in anticipated proceeds from the sale, which is reflected as a valuation adjustment for loan receivable held-for-sale on our consolidated statement of operations. Effective October 1, 2024, this loan was placed on non-accrual status.

(5)

Loan classified as held-for-sale as of December 31, 2024 and sold in January 2025. Principal charge-off recognized upon reclassification to held-for-sale as of December 31, 2024 .

In June 2025, this loan was sold . Principal charge-off attributable to the diminution in value of the collateral asset, and prorations and transaction costs related to the sale.

Modifications of Loans Receivable Held-for-Investment

Retroactive to its initial maturity date of November 2024, we agreed to a modification of a multifamily loan receivable with an unpaid principal balance of $ 390.0 million which primarily provided for (i) a discounted loan payoff of $ 350.0 million, contingent on the borrower meeting prescribed conditions within a certain timeframe, (ii) an extension of the maturity date from November 1, 2024 to August 1, 2025, (iii) a curtailment of existing maturity extension options, and (iv) partial deferral of monthly debt service payments until maturity. In anticipation of the borrower meeting the prescribed conditions within the specified timeframe shortly thereafter, we previously reflected this loan as risk rated 5 and recognized a specific CECL reserve equal to the agreed upon discount. In July 2025, this loan was repaid in accordance with the terms of the modified loan agreement, and we concurrently recognized a reversal of the specific CECL reserve prior to recognizing a principal charge-off equal to the agreed upon discount. This loan remained on accrual status through repayment as the borrower continued to perform in accordance with the terms of the modified loan agreement.

During the year ended December 31, 2023, we modified a hospitality loan with a borrower that was experiencing financial difficulties, resulting in a maturity extension to June 10, 2024. In June 2025, we sold this loan for a gross sales price of $ 59.25 million. After prorations and transaction costs, we recognized a $ 23.8 million principal charge-off through our provision for current expected credit loss reserve as a result of this loan sale. Prior to this loan sale, the loan had total commitments and an amortized cost basis of $ 80.4 million , was in maturity default, and was risk rated 4. Concurrent with this loan sale, we entered into an agreement with the guarantor of the loan receivable which provides for a partial repayment of such individual’s loan guarantee. As of September 30, 2025, we have not recognized any value to this agreement on our consolidated financial statements.

During the year ended December 31, 2022, we modified an office loan with a borrower that was experiencing financial difficulties, resulting in a decrease in the index rate floor from 1.57 % to 1.00 % and modified extension requirements. In March 2025, we agreed to a discounted loan payoff of our loan with a then unpaid principal balance of $ 87.8 million prior to a principal charge-off following the borrower’s sale of the collateral asset which occurred in April 2025. After prorations and transaction costs, we recognized a $ 23.7 million charge-off through our provision for current expected credit loss reserve as a result of this discounted repayment. Prior to this loan repayment, the loan was in maturity default and risk rated 4. Effective March 31, 2025, this loan was placed on non-accrual status.

Loan Risk Ratings

As further described in Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, we evaluate the credit quality of our loan portfolio on a quarterly basis. In conjunction with our quarterly loan portfolio review, we assess the risk factors of each loan and assign a risk rating based on several factors including, but not limited to, as-is or as-stabilized debt yield, term of loan, property type, property or collateral location, loan type, structure, collateral cash flow volatility and other more subjective variables that include, but are not limited to, as-is or as-stabilized collateral value, market conditions, industry conditions, borrower/sponsor financial stability, and borrower/sponsor exit plan. While evaluating the credit quality of each loan within our portfolio, we assess these quantitative and qualitative factors as a whole and with no pre-prescribed weight on their impact to our determination of a loan’s risk rating. However, based upon the facts and circumstances for each loan and the current market conditions, we may consider certain previously mentioned factors more or less relevant than others. Loans are rated “1” (less risk) through “5” (greater risk), which ratings are defined in Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.

The following tables allocate the principal balance and carrying value of our loans receivable held-for-investment based on our internal risk ratings as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 ($ in thousands):

in our specific CECL reserves was primarily attributable to specific reserves determined on loans now classified as risk rated 5, changes to collateral values, and protective advances made, offset in part by principal charge-offs recognized. The increase in our CECL reserves on accrued interest receivable is attributable to reserving against interest income previously recognized on loans placed on non-accrual status during the nine months ended September 30, 2025, offset in part by a reduction in reserves upon the receipt of past due interest. As of September 30, 2025, our total current expected credit loss reserve was $ 360.4 million .

During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we recorded a provision for current expected credit losses of $ 182.6 million , which consisted of a $ 45.5 million increase in our general CECL reserve, a $ 113.9 million increase in our specific CECL reserve prior to principal charge-offs, and a $ 23.2 million increase in CECL reserves on accrued interest receivable prior to charge-offs. The increase in our general CECL reserve was primarily attributable to changes in the historical loss rate of the analogous dataset and changes in risk ratings, non-accrual status, and expected remaining duration within our loan portfolio, offset in part by the reduction in the size of our loan portfolio subject to determination of the general CECL reserve. The increase in our specific CECL reserves was primarily attributable to changes to collateral values and additional protective advances made, and the reclassification of a loan receivable to held-for-sale. The increase in our CECL reserves on accrued interest receivable was attributable to reserving against interest income previously recognized on a loan placed on non-accrual status during the nine months ended September 30, 2024. As of September 30, 2024, our total current expected credit loss reserve was $ 237.1 million .

Specific CECL Reserves

In certain circumstances, we may determine that a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty, and, if the repayment of the loan’s principal is collateral dependent, the loan is no longer suited for the WARM model. In these instances, there have been diminutions in the fair value and performance of the underlying collateral asset primarily as a result of reduced tenant and/or capital markets demand for such property types in the markets in which these assets and borrowers operate in. Furthermore, we may recognize a specific CECL reserve if we anticipate assuming legal title and/or physical possession of the underlying collateral property and the fair value of the collateral asset is determined to be below the carrying value of our loan. Additionally, in certain circumstances, we may recognize a specific CECL reserve based upon anticipated proceeds from the disposition of our loan. The following table presents a summary of our risk rated 5 loans receivable held-for-investment as of September 30, 2025 ($ in thousands):

Fair values of collateral assets used to determine specific CECL reserves are calculated using a discounted cash flow model, a sales comparison approach, or a market capitalization approach. Estimates of fair values used to determine specific CECL reserves as of September 30, 2025 include assumptions of property specific cash flows over estimated holding periods, assumptions of property redevelopment costs, assumptions of leasing activities, discount rates ranging from 6.0 % to 9.5 % , and market and terminal capitalization rates ranging from 4.66 % to 8.25 % . These assumptions are based upon the nature of the properties, recent sales and lease comparables, recent and projected property cash flows, and anticipated real estate and capital market conditions.

Our primary credit quality indicator is our internal risk rating, which is further discussed above.

Hotel Portfolio

On February 8, 2021, we acquired legal title to a portfolio of seven limited service hotels located in New York, NY through a foreclosure and assumed the securitized senior mortgage. As of December 31, 2024 , we determined that our hotel portfolio had met the held-for-sale criteria and, accordingly, we reflected this asset as real estate owned held-for-sale on our consolidated balance sheet. We determined the anticipated sale did not reflect a strategic shift and therefore did not qualify for presentation as a discontinued operation. Concurrent with this classification, we recognized an $ 80.5 million loss based upon the anticipated sales price, less estimated costs to sell. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025 , we continued to pursue the sale of this asset. During such period, we incurred $ 362,000 of capital expenditures at our hotel portfolio, which is included within valuation adjustment for real estate owned held-for-sale on our consolidated statement of operations. As of September 30, 2025 , we determined that a sale was no longer advisable given current market conditions. Accordingly, we ceased the sale process, determined the hotel portfolio no longer met the held-for-sale criteria, and reclassified the hotel portfolio to real estate owned, held-for-investment on our consolidated balance sheet. As we determined the fair value of the hotel portfolio to be $ 320.0 million as of September 30, 2025, we did no t recognize depreciation expense during the nine months ended September 30, 2025. Concurrent with the reclassification to held-for-investment, we recognized a $ 13.0 million reversal of a previously recognized valuation adjustment for real estate owned held-for-sale, representing previously estimated costs to sell.

floors of primarily office space to unaffiliated purchasers for an aggregate gross sales price of $ 42.6 million, resulting in (i) an aggregate gain on partial sales, net of $ 0.4 million and (ii) proceeds, net of transaction costs and prorations, of $ 38.7 million. In October 2025, we (i) sold the signage component to an unaffiliated purchaser for a gross sales price of $ 12.2 million and (ii) entered into a binding agreement to sell one additional floor of office space to an unaffiliated purchaser for a gross sales price of $ 5.9 million.

Multifamily Properties

On May 28, 2025, we acquired legal title to a multifamily property located in Phoenix, AZ through a mortgage foreclosure. Prior to such date, the multifamily property represented the underlying collateral for a senior loan with an unpaid principal balance of $ 50.2 million. During the year ended December 31, 2024 , the borrower defaulted on the loan and, in anticipation of the mortgage foreclosure, we recognized a specific CECL reserve of $ 7.2 million, resulting in a carrying value of $ 42.8 million. Upon the mortgage foreclosure, we recognized a reversal of the specific CECL reserve of $ 0.3 million prior to recognizing a principal charge-off of $ 6.9 million based upon the multifamily property’s $ 42.8 million estimated fair value as determined by a third-party appraisal and assumption of $ 0.3 million of net working capital. In connection with the mortgage foreclosure, we incurred $ 0.1 million of transaction costs. As of September 30, 2025, the multifamily property appears as part of real estate owned, net and related lease intangibles appear within other assets on our consolidated balance sheet.

During the year ended December 31, 2024 , the borrower defaulted on the loan and, in anticipation of the mortgage foreclosure, we recognized a specific CECL reserve of $ 10.9 million, resulting in a carrying value of $ 28.2 million, and a CECL reserve of $ 0.3 million on accrued interest receivable recognized prior to placing the loan on non-accrual status. Subsequently, we recognized an additional $ 2.9 million specific CECL reserve prior to recognizing principal and accrued interest receivable charge-offs of $ 13.8 million and $ 0.3 million, respectively, based upon the multifamily property’s $ 25.3 million estimated fair value as determined by a third-party appraisal. During the three months ended September 30, 2025, we recognized a $ 0.5 million reversal of the previously recognized principal charge-off, representing assumed net working capital.

During the year ended December 31, 2024 , the borrower defaulted on the loan and, in anticipation of the mortgage foreclosure, we recognized a specific CECL reserve of $ 0.6 million, resulting in a carrying value of $ 118.1 million, and a CECL reserve of $ 2.6 million on accrued interest receivable recognized prior to placing the loan on non-accrual status. Subsequently, we recognized an additional $ 8.6 million specific CECL reserve prior to recognizing principal and accrued interest receivable charge-offs of $ 7.9 million and $ 2.6 million, respectively, based upon the multifamily properties’ aggregate $ 110.2 million estimated fair value as determined by a third-party appraisal. During the three months ended September 30, 2025, we recognized an additional principal charge-off of $ 0.9 million, representing $ 0.7 million of assumed net working capital and $ 0.2 million of an additional protective advance made prior to foreclosure. In connection with the mortgage foreclosure, we incurred $ 0.5 million of transaction costs. As of September 30, 2025, the multifamily property appears as part of real estate owned, net, related lease intangibles appear within other assets, and below-market lease values related to a nominal retail component appear within other liabilities on our consolidated balance sheet.

Fair values of multifamily assets we acquired legal title to during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 as determined by third-party appraisers utilized market capitalization rates ranging from 4.75 % to 5.50 %.

(1)

For the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, interest expense on debt related to real estate owned hotel portfolio includes $ 0.7 million and $ 1.1 million , respectively, of amortization of deferred financing costs. For the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, interest expense on debt related to real estate owned hotel portfolio includes $ 1.6 million and $ 2.5 million , respectively, of amortization of deferred financing costs.

(2)

Our multifamily real estate owned assets are pledged to certain of our repurchase agreements. Thus, amount excludes any allocation of amortization of deferred financing costs related to such repurchase agreement.

Financial Covenants

Our financing agreements generally contain certain financial covenants. For example, our ratio of earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization to interest charges (“Interest Coverage Ratio”), as calculated in accordance with our repurchase agreements and term participation facility, shall not be less than 1.1 to 1.0, whereas our ratio of earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization to interest charges as calculated in accordance with our secured term loan agreement shall not be less than 1.5 to 1.0. Further, our tangible net worth, as calculated in accordance with our repurchase agreements, shall not be less than $ 1.7 billion, whereas our tangible net worth, as calculated in accordance with our secured term loan agreement, which permits us to make certain adjustments for our current expected credit loss reserve, shall not be less than $ 1.86 billion as of each measurement date. Additionally, (i) cash liquidity shall not be less than the greater of (x) $ 20 million or (y) 5 % of our recourse indebtedness (which includes our secured term loan); and (ii) our indebtedness shall not exceed 77.8 % of our total assets, which is the most restrictive indebtedness covenant as of the reporting date. As of September 30, 2025 , we are in compliance with all financial covenants under our financing agreements. Commencing with the quarter ending December 31, 2025, our Interest Coverage Ratio shall not be less than 1.3 to 1.0.

Future compliance with our financial covenants is dependent upon the results of our operating activities, our financial condition, and the overall market conditions in which we and our borrowers operate. The impact of macroeconomic conditions on the commercial real estate and capital markets, including high benchmark interest rates compared to recent historical standards and the effects thereof on our and our borrowers’ operating performance, may make it more difficult for us to satisfy these financial covenants in the future. Non-compliance with financial covenants may result in our lenders exercising their rights and remedies as provided for in the respective agreements. As the results of our operating activities, our financial condition, and the overall market conditions in which we and our borrowers operate evolve, we may continue to work with our counterparties on modifying financial covenants as needed; however, there is no assurance that our counterparties will agree to such modifications.

Note 7. Derivatives

On June 2, 2021 and in connection with our debt related to real estate owned hotel portfolio, we acquired an interest rate cap with a notional amount of $ 290.0 million, a strike rate of 3.00 %, and a maturity date of February 15, 2024 . Such interest rate cap effectively limited the maximum interest rate of our debt related to real estate owned hotel portfolio to 5.83 % through its then maturity. Subsequent thereto and in connection with modifications of our debt related to real estate owned hotel portfolio, we acquired interest rate caps with maturity dates and notional amounts equal to that of the then maturity dates and outstanding principal balance of our debt related to real estate owned hotel portfolio, respectively, and strike rates of 5.00 %. Through the contractual maturity of our debt related to real estate owned hotel portfolio, the interest rate caps effectively limited the maximum interest rate of our debt related to real estate owned hotel portfolio to 7.94 %. Concurrent with refinancing our debt related to real estate owned hotel portfolio in June 2025, we acquired an interest rate cap for a price of $ 71,000 with a notiona l amount of $ 235.0 million, a strike rate of 6.79 % , and a maturity date of June 2027 , which effectively limits the maximum interest rate of our debt related to real estate owned hotel portfolio to 9.97 % .

Changes in the fair value of our interest rate cap are recorded as an unrealized gain or loss on interest rate cap on our consolidated statements of operations and the fair value is recorded in other assets on our consolidated balance sheets. Proceeds received from our counterparty related to the interest rate cap are recorded as proceeds from interest rate cap on our consolidated statements of operations. As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the fair values of our interest rate caps were de minimis. During the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, we recognized $ 0.0 million and $ 0.2 million , respectively, of proceeds from interest rate cap. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, we recognized $ 0.0 million and $ 1.3 million , respectively, of proceeds from interest rate cap.

Note 8. Fair Value Measurements

ASC 820, “ Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures ” establishes a framework for measuring fair value as well as disclosures about fair value measurements. It emphasizes that fair value is a market-based measurement, not an entity-specific measurement. Therefore, a fair value measurement should be determined based on the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing an asset or liability. As a basis for considering market participant assumptions in fair value measurements, the standards establish a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between market participant assumptions based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity (observable inputs that are classified within Levels 1 and 2 of the hierarchy) and the reporting entity’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions (unobservable inputs classified within Level 3 of the hierarchy).

Level 1 inputs utilize unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that we have the ability to access. Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs may include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, as well as inputs that are observable for the asset or liability other than quoted prices, such as interest rates, foreign exchange rates, and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability which are typically based on an entity’s own assumptions, as there is little, if any, related market activity. In instances where the determination of the fair value measurement is based on inputs from different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the entire fair value measurement fall is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. Our assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the asset or liability.

Financial Instruments Reported at Fair Value

The fair value of our interest rate caps are determined by using the market standard methodology of discounting the future expected cash receipts that would occur if variable interest rates rise above the strike rate of the interest rate caps. The variable interest rates used in the calculation of projected receipts on the interest rate caps are based on a third-party expert’s expectation of future interest rates derived from observable market interest rate curves and volatilities. Our interest rate caps are classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the fair values of our interest rate caps were de minimis.

At the Market Stock Offering Program

On May 10, 2024, we entered into an equity distribution agreement with certain sales agents, pursuant to which we may sell, from time to time, up to an aggregate sales price of $ 150.0 million of our common stock pursuant to a continuous offering program (the “ATM Agreement”) under our in place effective shelf registration. Sales of our common stock made pursuant to the ATM Agreement may be made in negotiated transactions or transactions that are deemed to be “at the market” offerings as defined in Rule 415 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The timing and amount of actual sales will depend on a variety of factors, including market conditions, the trading price of our common stock, our capital needs, and our determination of the appropriate sources of funding to meet such needs. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025 , we did no t issue any shares of our common stock pursuant to the

ATM Agreement. As of September 30, 2025 , the ATM Agreement has not been utilized, and $ 150.0 million remained available for issuance of our common stock pursuant to the ATM Agreement.

Note 10. Earnings Per Share

We calculate basic earnings per share (“EPS”) using the two-class method, which defines unvested share-based payment awards that contain nonforfeitable rights to dividends as participating securities. Under the two-class method, both distributed and undistributed earnings are allocated to common stock and participating securities based on their respective rights. Basic EPS is calculated by dividing our net income (loss) less participating securities’ share in earnings by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during each period.

Diluted EPS is calculated under the more dilutive of the treasury stock or the two-class method. Under the treasury stock method, diluted EPS is calculated by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding plus the incremental potential shares of common stock assumed issued during the period if they are dilutive.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, we ha d no dilutive securities. As a r esult, basic and diluted EPS are the same. The calculation of basic and diluted EPS is as follows ($ in thousands, except for share and per share data):


	Three Months Ended						Nine Months Ended
	September 30, 2025			September 30, 2024			September 30, 2025			September 30, 2024

(1)

For the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 , dividends on participating securities excludes $ 0 and $ 9,000 of dividends on fully vested RSUs, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, dividends on participating securities excludes $ 0 and $ 42,000 of dividends on fully vested RSUs, respectively.

(2)

Amounts as of September 30, 2025 and 2024 include 205,150 and 95,380 fully vested RSUs, respectively.

For the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 , 2,519,608 and 2,459,978 of weighted average unvested RSUs, respectively, were excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS because the effect was anti-dilutive. For the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, 2,683,845 and 2,755,785 of weighted average unvested RSUs, respectively, were excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS because the effect was anti-dilutive.

Note 11. Related Party Transactions

Our activities are managed by our Manager. Pursuant to the terms of the Management Agreement, our Manager is responsible for originating investment opportunities, providing asset management services and administering our day-to-day operations. Our Manager is entitled to receive a management fee, an incentive fee, and a termination fee as defined below.

The following table summarizes our management fees ($ in thousands):


	Three Months Ended				Nine Months Ended

Management fees	$	7,733	$	9,079	$	24,327	$	27,300

Management Fees

Effective October 1, 2015, our Manager earns a base management fee in an amount equal to 1.50 % per annum of Stockholders’ Equity, as defined in the Management Agreement. Management fees are reduced by our pro rata share of any management fees and incentive fees (if incentive fees are not incurred by us) incurred to our Manager by CMTG/TT. Management fees are generally paid quarterly, in arrears, and $ 7.7 million and $ 27.0 million were accrued and were included in management fee payable – affiliate, on our consolidated balance sheets at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 , respectively.

Incentive Fees

Our Manager is entitled to an incentive fee equal to 20 % of the excess of our Core Earnings on a rolling four-quarter basis, as defined in the Management Agreement, over a 7.00 % return on Stockholders’ Equity.

Reimbursable Expenses

Our Manager or its affiliates are entitled to reimbursement for certain documented costs and expenses incurred by them on our behalf, as set forth in the Management Agreement, excluding any expenses specifically required to be borne by our Manager under the Management Agreement. For the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, we incurred $ 1.1 million and $ 1.0 million , respectively, of reimbursable expenses incurred on our behalf by our Manager which are included in general and administrative expenses on our consolidated statements of operations. For the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, we incurred $ 3.2 million and $ 3.2 million , respectively, of reimbursable expenses incurred on our behalf by our Manager.

Note 12. Stock-Based Compensation

Incentive Award Plan

We are externally managed and do not currently have any employees. On March 30, 2016, we adopted the 2016 Incentive Award Plan (the “Plan”) to promote the success and enhance the value of the Company by linking the individual interests of employees of our Manager and its affiliates to those of our stockholders. As of September 30, 2025, the maximum remaining number of shares that may be issued under the Plan is 2,425,048 shares. Awards granted under the Plan may be granted with the right to receive dividend equivalents and generally vest in equal installments on the specified anniversaries of the grant.

Deferred Compensation Plan

On May 24, 2022, we adopted the Deferred Compensation Plan to provide our directors and certain executives with an opportunity to defer payment of their stock-based compensation or RSUs and director cash fees, if applicable, pursuant to the terms of the Deferred Compensation Plan.

Under our Deferred Compensation Plan, certain of our Board members elected to receive the annual fees and/or time-based RSUs to which they are entitled under our Non-Employee Director Compensation Program in the form of deferred RSUs. Accordingly, during the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 , we issued 18,008 and 6,098 , respectively, of deferred RSUs in lieu of cash fees to such directors, and recognized an expense of approximately $ 53,000 and $ 47,000 , respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, we issued 43,611 and 14,576 , respectively, of deferred RSUs in lieu of cash fees to such directors, and recognized an expense of approximately $ 159,000 and $ 144,000 , respectively. Such expense is included in general and administrative expenses on our consolidated statements of operations.

Non-Employee Director Compensation Program

Our Board awards time-based RSUs to eligible non-employee Board members on an annual basis as part of such Board members’ annual compensation in accordance with the Non-Employee Director Compensation Program. The time-based awards are generally issued in the second quarter on the date of the annual meeting of our stockholders, in conjunction with the director’s election to our Board, and the awards vest on the earlier of (x) the one-year anniversary of the grant date and (y) the date of the next annual meeting of our stockholders following the grant date, subject to the applicable participants’ continued service through such vesting date. Effective January 1, 2025, to maintain competitiveness in our recruitment and retention of directors, our Non-Employee Director Compensation Program was amended to increase the value of the annual director grants and increase the annual retainer fees payable to the chairs and members of the Audit, Compensation and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committees, and the Lead Independent Director, as set forth in the amended Non-Employee Director Compensation Program.

Eligible non-executive members of our Board were granted the time-based RSUs under the Plan. Each RSU was granted with the right to receive dividend equivalents. Additionally, certain directors elected to defer their RSUs pursuant to the terms of the Deferred Compensation Plan. Such deferred awards will become payable on the earliest to occur of the participant’s separation from service or a change in control. On June 1, 2025, we granted 276,750 RSUs to non-executive board members with a grant date fair value per share of $ 2.71 .

Stock-Based Compensation Expense

For the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, we recognized $ 2.1 million and $ 5.0 million , respectively, of stock-based compensation expense related to the RSUs. For the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, we recognized $ 11.9 million and $ 13.3 million , respectively, of stock-based compensation expense related to the RSUs. As of September 30, 2025, total unrecognized compensation expense was $ 10.3 million based on the grant date fair value of RSUs granted. This expense is expected to be recognized over a remaining period of 1.6 years from September 30, 2025.

Certain participants of the Plan are required to settle their tax liabilities through a reduction of their vested RSU delivery. Such amount will result in a corresponding adjustment to additional paid-in capital and a cash payment to our Manager or its affiliates in order to remit the required statutory tax withholding to each respective taxing authority. The following table details the deliveries of shares of our common stock for vested RSUs and corresponding payments for withholding taxes upon delivery of such vested RSUs, which are reflected as adjustments to additional paid-in capital on our consolidated statement of changes in equity during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 ($ in thousands).

Note 13. Income Taxes

We have elected to be taxed as a REIT under Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code commencing with our taxable year ended December 31, 2015 and expect to continue to operate so as to qualify as a REIT. As a result, we will generally not be subject to federal and state income tax on that portion of our income that we distribute to stockholders if we (i) distribute at least 90 % of our taxable income, determined without regard to the deduction for dividends paid and excluding any net capital gains, and (ii) comply with certain other requirements to qualify as a REIT. Since Commencement of Operations, we have been in compliance with all REIT requirements and we plan to continue to operate so that we meet the requirements for taxation as a REIT. Therefore, other than amounts

relating to our taxable REIT subsidiary (“TRS”), as described below, we have not provided for current income tax expense related to our REIT taxable income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Additionally, no provision has been made for federal or state income taxes in the accompanying financial statements, as we believe we have met the prescribed requisite requirements.

In December 2024, our Board paused our quarterly dividend on our common stock commencing with the fourth quarter 2024 dividend that would have otherwise been paid in January 2025. The timing and amount of any future dividends declared by our Board depend on a variety of factors, including cash generated by operating activities, our financial condition, capital requirements, annual distribution requirements under the REIT provisions of the Internal Revenue Code, and such other factors as our Board deems relevant.

Our real estate owned hotel portfolio is held in a TRS. A TRS is a corporation that is owned directly or indirectly by a REIT and has jointly elected with the REIT to be treated as a TRS for tax purposes. Given the TRS’s history of generating taxable losses, we are not able to conclude that it is more likely than not that we will realize the future benefit of the TRS’s deferred tax assets and therefore recorded a full valuation allowance. Given the full valuation allowance, we did not record a provision or benefit for income taxes for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 , and we did no t have any deferred tax assets or deferred tax liabilities as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024. Our deferred tax asset and valuation allowance at September 30, 2025 were $ 55.6 million, respectively . As of December 31, 2024 , our deferred tax asset and valuation allowance were $ 56.6 million, respectively.

We recognize tax benefits for uncertain tax positions only if it is more likely than not that the position is sustainable based on its technical merits. Interest and penalties on uncertain tax positions, if applicable, are included as a component of the provision for income taxes in our consolidated statements of operations. As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 , we have no t recorded any amounts for uncertain tax positions.

Our tax returns are subject to audit by taxing authorities. As of the date of this filing, tax years 2022 and onward remain open to examination by major taxing jurisdictions in which we are subject to taxes.

On July 4, 2025, a budget reconciliation bill (the “Bill”) was signed into law in the United States. The Bill includes several significant provisions, such as the permanent extension of certain expiring provisions of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 and other changes to the Internal Revenue Code, that affect REITs and their investors. For instance, for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2025, the Bill modifies the REIT asset test requirement with respect to TRSs, providing that not more than 25 % (previously 20 %) of the gross value of a REIT’s assets may be represented by securities of one or more TRSs. Additionally, the Bill permanently extends the Internal Revenue Code Section 199A pass-through qualified business income deduction. This allows certain individuals, trusts, and estates to continue deducting 20 % of their qualified business income, including qualified REIT dividends. This deduction was set to expire for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2025. The Bill is not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Note 14. Commitments and Contingencies

We hold a 51 % interest in CMTG/TT as a result of committing to invest $ 124.9 million in CMTG/TT. As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we have contributed $ 163.1 million to CMTG/TT and have received return of capital distributions of $ 123.3 million, of which $ 111.1 million were recallable. As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, our remaining capital commitment to CMTG/TT was $ 72.9 million.

As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we had aggregate unfunded loan commitments of $ 347.8 million and $ 498.3 million , respectively, which amounts will generally be funded to finance construction or leasing related expenditures by our borrowers, subject to them achieving certain conditions precedent to such funding. These future commitments will expire over the remaining term of the loans, none of which exceed five years .

To the extent a financing is expected to reach final maturity, we may seek replacement financings, extension of existing financings, or other capital solutions as deemed appropriate by management. Our contractual payments due under all financings were as follows as of September 30, 2025 ($ in thousands):


Year	Initial Maturity (1)		Fully Extended Maturity (2)
2025 (3)(4)	$	1,378,707	$	1,057,161
2026		1,761,525		1,285,746
2027		317,279		599,687
2028		-		279,917
2029		-		-
Thereafter		198,286		433,286
Total	$	3,655,797	$	3,655,797

(1)

Initial maturity is based on the earlier of the initial maturity date of each individual corresponding loan receivable or the maximum maturity date under the respective financing agreement, assuming conditions to extend are met.

(2)

Fully extended maturity is based on the earlier of the fully extended maturity date of each individual corresponding loan receivable or the maximum maturity date under the respective financing agreement, assuming conditions to extend are met.

(3)

Includes financings outstanding of $ 946.1 million related to eleven loans in maturity default with aggregate unpaid principal balance of $ 1.7 billion .

(4)

In October 2025, we repaid $ 109.2 million of our secured financings due during the remainder of 2025 using a portion of the proceeds received from the repayment of a loan receivable.

In the normal course of business, we may enter into contracts that contain a variety of representations and provide for general indemnifications. Our maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against us that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, we expect the risk of loss to be remote.

Note 15. Segment Reporting

We have determined that we have two operating segments and two reporting segments, with activities related to investing in income-producing loans collateralized by institutional quality commercial real estate and activities related to the operations of our real estate owned assets. Our Chief Operating Decision Maker is J. Michael McGillis, our Chief Financial Officer, President, and Director, who primarily utilizes Distributable Earnings (Loss) as described below.

Distributable Earnings (Loss) is a non-GAAP measure used to evaluate our performance excluding the effects of certain transactions, non-cash items and GAAP adjustments. Distributable Earnings (Loss) is a non-GAAP measure, which we define as net income (loss) in accordance with GAAP, excluding (i) non-cash stock-based compensation expense, (ii) real estate owned held-for-investment depreciation and amortization, (iii) any unrealized gains or losses from mark-to-market valuation changes (other than permanent impairments) that are included in net income (loss) for the applicable period, (iv) one-time events pursuant to changes in GAAP and (v) certain non-cash items, which in the judgment of our Manager, should not be included in Distributable Earnings (Loss).

The following table provides a calculation of Distributable (Loss) Earnings for our loan and REO portfolios, as well as a reconciliation to net loss, for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 ($ in thousands):

Introduction

We are a CRE finance company focused primarily on originating senior and subordinate loans on transitional CRE assets located in major U.S. markets, including mortgage loans secured by a first priority or subordinate mortgage on transitional CRE assets, and subordinate loans including mezzanine loans secured by a pledge of equity ownership interests in the direct or indirect property owner rather than directly in the underlying commercial properties. These loans are subordinate to a mortgage loan but senior to the property owner’s equity ownership interests. Transitional CRE assets are properties that require repositioning, renovation, rehabilitation, leasing, development or redevelopment or other value-added elements in order to maximize value. We believe our Sponsor’s real estate development, ownership and operations experience, and infrastructure differentiates us in lending on these transitional CRE assets. Our objective is to be a premier provider of debt capital for transitional CRE assets and, in doing so, to generate attractive risk-adjusted returns for our stockholders over time, primarily through dividends. We strive to create a diversified investment portfolio of CRE loans that we generally intend to hold to maturity. We focus primarily on originating loans ranging from $50 million to $300 million on transitional CRE assets located in U.S. markets with attractive fundamental characteristics supported by macroeconomic tailwinds.

Our loan origination and repayment volume may fluctuate based on market conditions or other conditions inherent in our portfolio. As such, we may modify our investment strategy from time to time by shifting focus to optimizing outcomes within our existing portfolio, which may include actions such as selling a loan or syndicating a portion of a loan, working with our borrowers to enhance the value of underlying properties that constitute our collateral, and in certain circumstances assuming legal title and/or physical possession of the underlying collateral property of a defaulted loan.

We were organized as a Maryland corporation on April 29, 2015 and commenced operations on August 25, 2015, and our common stock is traded on the New York Stock Exchange, or NYSE, under the symbol “CMTG.” We have elected and believe we have qualified to be taxed as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes commencing with our taxable year ended December 31, 2015. We are externally managed and advised by our Manager, an investment adviser registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) pursuant to the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended (the “Advisers Act”). We operate our business in a manner that permits us to maintain our exclusion from registration under the 1940 Act.

I. Key Financial Measures and Indicators

As a CRE finance company, we believe the key financial measures and indicators for our business are net income (loss) per share, Distributable Earnings (Loss) per share, Distributable Earnings per share prior to realized gains and losses, which includes charge-offs of principal, accrued interest receivable, and/or exit fees, dividends declared per share, book value per share, adjusted book value per share, Net Debt-to-Equity Ratio and Total Leverage Ratio. During the three months ended September 30, 2025, we had net loss per share of $0.07, Diluted Distributable Loss per share of $0.15, Diluted Distributable Earnings per share prior to realized gains and losses of $0.04, and our Board did not declare any dividends. As of September 30, 2025, our book value per share was $12.24, our adjusted book value per share was $13.28, our Net Debt-to-Equity Ratio was 1.9x, and our Total Leverage Ratio was 2.4x. We use Net Debt-to-Equity Ratio and Total Leverage Ratio, financial measures which are not prepared in accordance with GAAP, to evaluate our financial leverage, which in the case of our Total Leverage Ratio, makes certain adjustments that we believe provide a more conservative measure of our financial condition.

Net Loss Per Share and Dividends Declared Per Share

The following table sets forth the calculation of basic and diluted net loss per share and dividends declared per share ($ in thousands, except share and per share data):


	Three Months Ended
	September 30, 2025			June 30, 2025
Net loss	$	(9,528	)	$	(181,707	)
Weighted average shares of common stock outstanding, basic and diluted		140,563,026			140,105,546
Basic and diluted net loss per share of common stock	$	(0.07	)	$	(1.30	)
Dividends declared per share of common stock	$	-		$	-

Distributable Earnings (Loss)

Distributable Earnings (Loss) is a non-GAAP measure used to evaluate our performance excluding the effects of certain transactions, non-cash items and GAAP adjustments, as determined by our Manager. Distributable Earnings (Loss) is a non-GAAP measure, which we define as net income (loss) in accordance with GAAP, excluding (i) non-cash stock-based compensation expense, (ii) real estate owned held-for-investment depreciation and amortization, (iii) any unrealized gains or losses from mark-to-market valuation changes (other than permanent impairments) that are included in net income (loss) for the applicable period, (iv) one-time events pursuant to changes in GAAP and (v) certain non-cash items, which in the judgment of our Manager, should not be included in Distributable Earnings (Loss). Furthermore, we present Distributable Earnings prior to realized gains and losses, which such gains and

losses include charge-offs of principal, accrued interest receivable, and/or exit fees as we believe this more easily allows our Board, Manager, and investors to compare our operating performance to our peers, to assess our ability to declare and pay dividends, and to determine our compliance with certain financial covenants. Pursuant to the Management Agreement, we use Core Earnings, which is substantially the same as Distributable Earnings (Loss) excluding incentive fees, to determine the incentive fees we pay our Manager.

We believe that Distributable Earnings (Loss) and Distributable Earnings prior to realized gains and losses provide meaningful information to consider in addition to our net income (loss) and cash flows from operating activities in accordance with GAAP. Distributable Earnings (Loss) and Distributable Earnings prior to realized gains and losses do not represent net income (loss) or cash flows from operating activities in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to GAAP net income (loss), an indication of our cash flows from operating activities, a measure of our liquidity or an indication of funds available for our cash needs. In addition, our methodology for calculating these non-GAAP measures may differ from the methodologies employed by other companies to calculate the same or similar supplemental performance measures and, accordingly, our reported Distributable Earnings (Loss) and Distributable Earnings prior to realized gains and losses may not be comparable to the Distributable Earnings (Loss) and Distributable Earnings prior to realized gains and losses reported by other companies.

In order to maintain our status as a REIT, we are required to distribute at least 90% of our REIT taxable income, determined without regard to the deduction for dividends paid and excluding net capital gain, as dividends. Distributable Earnings (Loss), Distributable Earnings prior to realized gains and losses, and other similar measures, have historically been a useful indicator over time of a mortgage REIT’s ability to cover its dividends, and to mortgage REITs themselves in determining the amount of any dividends to declare. Distributable Earnings (Loss) and Distributable Earnings prior to realized gains and losses are key factors, among others, considered by our Board in determining the dividend each quarter and as such we believe Distributable Earnings (Loss) and Distributable Earnings prior to realized gains and losses are also useful to investors.

While Distributable Earnings (Loss) excludes the impact of our provision for or reversal of current expected credit loss reserve, charge-offs of principal, accrued interest receivable, and/or exit fees are recognized through Distributable Earnings (Loss) when deemed non-recoverable. Non-recoverability is determined (i) upon the resolution of a loan (i.e., when the loan is repaid, fully or partially, when we acquire title in the case of foreclosure, deed-in-lieu of foreclosure, or assignment-in-lieu of foreclosure, or when the loan is sold or anticipated to be sold for an amount less than its carrying value), or (ii) with respect to any amount due under any loan, when such amount is determined to be uncollectible.

In determining Distributable Earnings (Loss) per share and Distributable Earnings per share prior to realized gains and losses, the dilutive effect of unvested RSUs is considered. The weighted average diluted shares outstanding used for Distributable Earnings (Loss) and Distributable Earnings per share prior to realized gains and losses have been adjusted from weighted average diluted shares under GAAP to include weighted average unvested RSUs.

The table below summarizes the reconciliation from weighted average diluted shares under GAAP to the weighted average diluted shares used for Distributable Loss and Distributable Earnings prior to realized gains and losses for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and June 30, 2025:


	Three Months Ended
Weighted Averages	September 30, 2025		June 30, 2025
Diluted Shares - GAAP		140,563,026		140,105,546
Unvested RSUs		2,519,608		2,817,086
Diluted Shares - Distributable Loss		143,082,634		142,922,632

Book Value Per Share

We believe that presenting book value per share adjusted for our general current expected credit loss reserve and accumulated depreciation and amortization on our real estate owned held-for-investment is useful for investors as it enhances the comparability to our peers who may not hold real estate investments. Further, we believe that our investors and lenders consider book value excluding these items as an important metric related to our overall capitalization.

The following table sets forth the calculation of our book value and our adjusted book value per share, a non-GAAP financial measure, as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 ($ in thousands, except share and per share data):


	September 30, 2025		December 31, 2024
Total Equity	$	1,748,811	$	2,008,086
Number of shares of common stock outstanding and RSUs		142,933,527		142,187,015
Book Value per share (1)	$	12.24	$	14.12
Add back: accumulated depreciation and amortization on real estate owned and related lease intangibles		0.06		0.03
Add back: general CECL reserve		0.98		1.02
Adjusted Book Value per share	$	13.28	$	15.17

Calculated as (i) total equity divided by (ii) number of shares of common stock outstanding and RSUs at period end.

II. Our Portfolio

The below table summarizes our loans receivable held-for-investment as of September 30, 2025 ($ in thousands):


									Weighted Average (3)
	Number of Loans		Loan Commitment (1)		Unpaid Principal Balance		Carrying Value (2)		Yield to Maturity (4)			Term to Initial Maturity	Term to Fully Extended Maturity (5)	Weighted Average Origination LTV (6)			Weighted Average Adjusted LTV (7)
Senior and subordinate loans		37	$	4,866,018	$	4,518,241	$	4,347,298		6.7	%	0.4 years	1.2 years		70.5	%		74.6	%

(1)

Loan commitment represents principal outstanding plus remaining unfunded loan commitments.

(2)

Net of specific CECL reserve of $167.9 million.

(3)

Weighted averages are based on unpaid principal balance.

(4)

Represents the weighted average annualized yield to initial maturity of each loan, inclusive of coupon, and fees received, based on the applicable floating benchmark rate/floors (if applicable), in place as of September 30, 2025. For loans placed on non-accrual, the annualized yield to initial maturity used in calculating the weighted average annualized yield to initial maturity is 0%.

(5)

Fully extended maturity assumes all extension options are exercised by the borrower upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions.

(6)

Origination LTV represents “loan-to-value” or “loan-to-cost,” which is calculated as our total loan commitment upon origination, as if fully funded, plus any financings that are pari passu with or senior to our loan, divided by our estimate of either (1) the value of the underlying real estate, determined in accordance with our underwriting process (typically consistent with, if not less than, the value set forth in a third-party appraisal) or (2) the borrower’s projected, fully funded cost basis in the asset, in each case as we deem appropriate for the relevant loan and other loans with similar characteristics. Underwritten values and projected costs should not be assumed to reflect our judgment of current market values or project costs, which may have changed materially since the date of origination. Weighted average origination LTV is based on loan commitment, including non-consolidated senior interests and pari passu interests, and excludes risk rated 5 loans.

(7)

Adjusted LTV represents origination LTV updated only in connection with a partial loan paydown and/or release of collateral, material changes to expected project costs, the receipt of a new appraisal (typically in connection with financing or refinancing activity) or a change in our loan commitment. Adjusted LTV should not be assumed to reflect our judgment of current market values or project costs, which may have changed materially since the date of the most recent determination of LTV. Weighted average adjusted LTV is based on loan commitment, including non-consolidated senior interests, pari passu interests, and risk rated 5 loans. Loans with specific CECL reserves are reflected as 100% LTV.

(2)

Reflects risk rating of the loan receivable prior to the loan sale or reclassification to held-for-sale.

(3)

In September 2025, through a mortgage foreclosure auction of the underlying collateral asset, we entered into an agreement with an unaffiliated purchaser to sell our right, title, and interest in the collateral asset for a gross sales price of $28.1 million. The sale was completed in October 2025 and, as a result, this loan was classified as held-for-sale and a principal charge-off was recognized as of September 30, 2025.

(4)

Principal charge-offs and valuation allowance attributable to the delinquency of the loan and its $23.8 million of remaining unfunded commitments. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and through the sale of this loan in May 2025, we recognized a further adjustment to reduce the held-for-sale carrying value of this loan by $41.8 million as a result of additional protective advances made and a reduction in anticipated proceeds from the sale, which is reflected as a valuation adjustment for loan receivable held-for-sale on our consolidated statement of operations. Effective October 1, 2024, this loan was placed on non-accrual status.

(5)

Loan classified as held-for-sale as of December 31, 2024 and sold in January 2025. Principal charge-off recognized upon reclassification to held-for-sale as of December 31, 2024.

(6)

In June 2025, this loan was sold. Principal charge-off attributable to the diminution in value of the collateral asset, and prorations and transaction costs related to the sale.

Real Estate Owned

determined the anticipated sale did not reflect a strategic shift and therefore did not qualify for presentation as a discontinued operation. Concurrent with this classification, we recognized an $80.5 million loss based upon the anticipated sales price, less estimated costs to sell. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, we continued to pursue the sale of this asset. During such period, we incurred $362,000 of capital expenditures at our hotel portfolio, which is included within valuation adjustment for real estate owned held-for-sale on our consolidated statement of operations. As of September 30, 2025, we determined that a sale was no longer advisable given current market conditions. Accordingly, we ceased the sale process, determined the hotel portfolio no longer met the held-for-sale criteria, and reclassified the hotel portfolio to real estate owned, held-for-investment on our consolidated balance sheet. As we determined the fair value of the hotel portfolio to be $320.0 million as of September 30, 2025, we did not recognize depreciation expense during the nine months ended September 30, 2025. Concurrent with the reclassification to held-for-investment, we recognized a $13.0 million reversal of a previously recognized valuation adjustment for real estate owned held-for-sale, representing previously estimated costs to sell.

On June 30, 2023, we acquired legal title to a mixed-use property located in New York, NY and the equity interests in the borrower through an assignment-in-lieu of foreclosure and is comprised of office, retail, and signage components. As of September 30, 2025, the mixed-use property appears as part of real estate owned, net and related lease intangibles appear within other assets and other liabilities on our consolidated balance sheet. During the three months ended September 30, 2025, we sold two floors of office space to unaffiliated purchasers for an aggregate gross sales price $13.8 million, resulting in (i) an aggregate gain on partial sales of $2.0 million and (ii) proceeds, net of transaction costs and prorations, of $12.1 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, we sold seven floors of primarily office space to unaffiliated purchasers for an aggregate gross sales price of $42.6 million, resulting in (i) an aggregate gain on partial sales, net of $0.4 million and (ii) proceeds, net of transaction costs and prorations, of $38.7 million. In October 2025, we (i) sold the signage component to an unaffiliated purchaser for a gross sales price of $12.2 million and (ii) entered into a binding agreement to sell one additional floor of office space to an unaffiliated purchaser for a gross sales price of $5.9 million.

On May 28, 2025, we acquired legal title to a multifamily property located in Phoenix, AZ through a mortgage foreclosure. Prior to such date, the multifamily property represented the underlying collateral for a senior loan with an unpaid principal balance of $50.2 million. During the year ended December 31, 2024, the borrower defaulted on the loan and, in anticipation of the mortgage foreclosure, we recognized a specific CECL reserve of $7.2 million, resulting in a carrying value of $42.8 million. Upon the mortgage foreclosure, we recognized a reversal of the specific CECL reserve of $0.3 million prior to recognizing a principal charge-off of $6.9 million based upon the multifamily property’s $42.8 million estimated fair value as determined by a third-party appraisal and assumption of $0.3 million of net working capital. In connection with the mortgage foreclosure, we incurred $0.1 million of transaction costs. As of September 30, 2025, the multifamily property appears as part of real estate owned, net and related lease intangibles appear within other assets on our consolidated balance sheet.

On June 12, 2025, we acquired legal title to a multifamily property located in Henderson, NV through a mortgage foreclosure. Prior to such date, the multifamily property represented the underlying collateral for a senior loan with an unpaid principal balance of $96.5 million. During the year ended December 31, 2024, the borrower defaulted on the loan and, in anticipation of the mortgage foreclosure, we recognized a specific CECL reserve of $16.7 million, resulting in a carrying value of $79.4 million. Upon the mortgage foreclosure, we recognized a reversal of the specific CECL reserve of $0.1 million prior to recognizing a principal charge-off of $16.5 million based upon the multifamily property’s $79.4 million estimated fair value as determined by a third-party appraisal and assumption of $0.1 million of net working capital. In connection with the mortgage foreclosure, we incurred $0.4 million of transaction costs. As of September 30, 2025, the multifamily property appears as part of real estate owned, net and related lease intangibles appear within other assets on our consolidated balance sheet.

On July 1, 2025, we acquired legal title to a multifamily property located in Dallas, TX through a mortgage foreclosure. Prior to such date, the multifamily property represented the underlying collateral for a senior loan with an unpaid principal balance of $39.3 million prior to principal charge-offs. During the year ended December 31, 2024, the borrower defaulted on the loan and, in anticipation of the mortgage foreclosure, we recognized a specific CECL reserve of $10.9 million, resulting in a carrying value of $28.2 million, and a CECL reserve of $0.3 million on accrued interest receivable recognized prior to placing the loan on non-accrual status. Subsequently, we recognized an additional $2.9 million specific CECL reserve prior to recognizing principal and accrued interest receivable charge-offs of $13.8 million and $0.3 million, respectively, based upon the multifamily property’s $25.3 million estimated fair value as determined by a third-party appraisal. During the three months ended September 30, 2025, we recognized a $0.5 million reversal of the previously recognized principal charge-off, representing assumed net working capital. In connection with the mortgage foreclosure, we incurred $0.3 million of transaction costs. As of September 30, 2025, the multifamily property appears as part of real estate owned, net and related lease intangibles appear within other assets on our consolidated balance sheet.

as determined by a third-party appraisal. During the three months ended September 30, 2025, we recognized an additional principal charge-off of $0.9 million, representing $0.7 million of assumed net working capital and $0.2 million of an additional protective advance made prior to foreclosure. In connection with the mortgage foreclosure, we incurred $0.5 million of transaction costs. As of September 30, 2025, the multifamily property appears as part of real estate owned, net, related lease intangibles appear within other assets, and below-market lease values related to a nominal retail component appear within other liabilities on our consolidated balance sheet.

Fair values of multifamily assets we acquired legal title to during the nine months ended September 30, 2025, as determined by third-party appraisers, utilized market capitalization rates ranging from 4.75% to 5.50%. Such assumptions are based upon the nature of the properties and recent sales comparables.

Asset Management

Our Manager proactively manages the loans in our portfolio from closing to final repayment or resolution of our investment and our Sponsor has dedicated asset management employees who perform asset management services. Following the closing of an investment, the asset management team rigorously monitors the loan, with an emphasis on ongoing analyses of both quantitative and qualitative matters, including financial, legal, and market conditions. Through the final repayment of a loan or resolution of our investment, the asset management team maintains regular contact with borrowers, servicers, property managers, and local market experts monitoring performance of the collateral, anticipating borrower, property and market issues, and enforcing our rights and remedies when appropriate.

Some of our borrowers may experience delays in the execution of their business plans, changes in their capital position and available liquidity and/or changes in market conditions which may impact the performance of the underlying collateral asset, borrower, or sponsor. As a transitional lender, we may from time to time execute loan modifications with borrowers when and if appropriate, which may include additional equity contributions from them, repurposing of reserves, pledges of additional collateral or other forms of credit support, additional guarantees, temporary deferrals of interest or principal, partial deferral of coupon interest as payment-in-kind interest, and/or a discounted loan payoff. To the extent warranted by ongoing conditions specific to our borrowers or overall market conditions, we may make additional modifications when and if appropriate, depending on the business plans, financial condition, liquidity and results of operations of our borrowers, among other factors.

Our Manager evaluates the credit quality of each of our loans receivable on an individual basis and assigns a risk rating at least quarterly. We have developed a loan grading system for all of our outstanding loans receivable that are collateralized directly or indirectly by real estate. Grading criteria include, but are not limited to, as-is or as-stabilized debt yield, term of loan, property type, property or collateral location, loan type, structure, collateral cash flow volatility and other more subjective variables that include, but are not limited to, as-is or as-stabilized collateral value, market conditions, industry conditions, borrower/sponsor financial stability, and borrower/sponsor exit plan. While evaluating the credit quality of each loan within our portfolio, we assess these quantitative and qualitative factors as a whole and with no pre-prescribed weight on their impact to our determination of a loan’s risk rating. However, based upon the facts and circumstances for each loan and the overall market conditions, we may consider certain previously mentioned factors more or less relevant than others. We utilize the grading system to determine each loan’s risk of loss and to provide a determination as to whether an individual loan is impaired and whether a specific CECL reserve is necessary. Based on a 5-point scale, the loans are graded “1” through “5,” from less risk to greater risk, respectively. The weighted average risk rating of our loans receivable held-for-investment portfolio was 3.6 as of September 30, 2025, weighted by carrying value net of specific CECL reserves

Current Expected Credit Losses

The current expected credit loss reserve required under GAAP reflects our current estimate of potential credit losses related to our loan portfolio, which may fluctuate depending on market conditions and changes in our loan portfolio. See Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements for further detail of our current expected credit loss reserve methodology.

status during the nine months ended September 30, 2025, offset in part by a reduction in reserves upon the receipt of past due interest. As of September 30, 2025, our total current expected credit loss reserve was $360.4 million.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we recorded a provision for current expected credit losses of $182.6 million, which consisted of a $45.5 million increase in our general CECL reserve, a $113.9 million increase in our specific CECL reserve prior to principal charge-offs, and a $23.2 million increase in CECL reserves on accrued interest receivable prior to charge-offs. The increase in our general CECL reserve was primarily attributable to changes in the historical loss rate of the analogous dataset and changes in risk ratings, non-accrual status, and expected remaining duration within our loan portfolio, offset in part by the reduction in the size of our loan portfolio subject to determination of the general CECL reserve. The increase in our specific CECL reserves was primarily attributable to changes to collateral values and additional protective advances made, and the reclassification of a loan receivable to held-for-sale. The increase in our CECL reserves on accrued interest receivable was attributable to reserving against interest income previously recognized on a loan placed on non-accrual status during the nine months ended September 30, 2024. As of September 30, 2024, our total current expected credit loss reserve was $237.1 million.

Amounts deemed uncollectible have been charged-off as of September 30, 2025.

Fair values of collateral assets used to determine specific CECL reserves are calculated using a discounted cash flow model, a sales comparison approach, or a market capitalization approach. Estimates of fair values used to determine specific CECL reserves as of September 30, 2025 include assumptions of property specific cash flows over estimated holding periods, assumptions of property redevelopment costs, assumptions of leasing activities, discount rates ranging from 6.0% to 9.5%, and market and terminal capitalization rates ranging from 4.66% to 8.25%. These assumptions are based upon the nature of the properties, recent sales and lease comparables, recent and projected property cash flows, and anticipated real estate and capital market conditions.

Portfolio Financing

Our financing arrangements include repurchase arrangements, a term participation facility, asset-specific financings, debt related to real estate owned hotel portfolio, and secured term loan borrowings.

The following table summarizes our loans portfolio financing ($ in thousands):

Weighted average spread over the applicable benchmark rate is based on unpaid principal balance. SOFR as of September 30, 2025 was 4.13%.

See Note 6 to our consolidated financial statements for additional details.

Repurchase Agreements and Term Participation Facility

We finance certain of our loans and multifamily real estate owned properties using repurchase agreements and a term participation facility. As of September 30, 2025, aggregate borrowings outstanding under our repurchase agreements and term participation facility totaled $2.5 billion, with a weighted average spread of SOFR plus 2.88% per annum based on unpaid principal balance. As of September 30, 2025, the loans receivable securing the outstanding borrowings under these facilities had a weighted average term to initial maturity and fully extended maturity of 0.6 years and 1.5 years, respectively, assuming all conditions to extend are met. Further, we have a repurchase agreement that specifically provides for the ability to finance (i) loans receivable, including those which may be delinquent or in default, and (ii) real estate owned assets subsequent to assuming legal title and/or physical possession of the underlying collateral property. As of September 30, 2025, $198.3 million of borrowings outstanding relate to our multifamily real estate owned assets.

Each repurchase agreement contains “margin maintenance” provisions, which are designed to allow the counterparty to require the delivery of cash or other assets to de-lever financings on assets that are determined to have experienced a diminution in value. Since inception through September 30, 2025, we have not received any margin calls under any of our repurchase agreements.

Loan Participations Sold

We may finance certain of our loans via the sale of a participation in such loans, and we present the loan participations sold as a liability on our consolidated balance sheet when such arrangements do not qualify as sales under GAAP. As of September 30, 2025, we had no loan participations sold.

Notes Payable

We finance certain of our loans via secured financings that are term matched to the underlying loan, some of which are partially recourse to us. We refer to such financings as notes payable and they are secured by the related loans receivable. As of September 30, 2025, two of our loans were financed with notes payable.

Secured Term Loan

We have a secured term loan which we originally entered into on August 9, 2019. Our secured term loan is presented net of any original issue discount and transaction expenses which are deferred and recognized as interest expense over the life of the loan using the effective interest method. The secured term loan matures on August 9, 2026 and as of September 30, 2025 has an unpaid principal balance of $712.1 million and a carrying value of $707.7 million.

Debt Related to Real Estate Owned Hotel Portfolio

On February 8, 2021 we assumed a $300.0 million securitized senior mortgage in connection with a foreclosure on a hotel portfolio. Subsequently, we entered into modifications of our debt related to real estate owned hotel portfolio to provide for, among other things, total principal payments of $25.0 million, an extension of the contractual maturity date to February 9, 2025, and the designation of a portion of the loan becoming partial recourse to us. Concurrent with each modification, we acquired interest rate caps with notional amounts equal to the borrowing outstanding, strike rates ranging from 3.0% to 5.0%, and maturity dates matching the associated financing. Upon maturity in February 2025 and subsequent thereto, we entered into forbearance agreements with our lender through September 9, 2025 and concurrently repaid $5.0 million of the principal balance. During the forbearance period, interest accrued at additional rates ranging from 3.0% to 5.0% per annum. On June 9, 2025, we refinanced our debt related to real estate owned hotel portfolio with a non-recourse senior mortgage in the amount of $235.0 million. Such financing matures on June 9, 2027, and we may extend the maturity to June 9, 2030 pursuant to three one-year extension options, subject to meeting prescribed conditions. As of September 30, 2025, our debt related to real estate owned hotel portfolio has an unpaid principal balance of $235.0 million, a carrying value of $230.3 million and a stated rate of SOFR plus 3.18%. See Derivatives below for further detail of our interest rate cap.

Derivatives

On June 2, 2021 and in connection with our debt related to real estate owned hotel portfolio, we acquired an interest rate cap with a notional amount of $290.0 million, a strike rate of 3.00%, and a maturity date of February 15, 2024. Such interest rate cap effectively limited the maximum interest rate of our debt related to real estate owned hotel portfolio to 5.83% through its then maturity. Subsequent thereto and in connection with modifications of our debt related to real estate owned hotel portfolio, we acquired interest rate caps with maturity dates and notional amounts equal to that of the then maturity dates and outstanding principal balance of our debt related to real estate owned hotel portfolio, respectively, and strike rates of 5.00%. Through the contractual maturity of our debt related to real estate owned hotel portfolio, the interest rate caps effectively limited the maximum interest rate of our debt related to real estate owned hotel portfolio to 7.94%. Concurrent with refinancing our debt related to real estate owned hotel portfolio in June 2025, we acquired an interest rate cap for a price of $71,000 with a notional amount of $235.0 million, a strike rate of 6.79%, and a maturity date of June 2027, which effectively limits the maximum interest rate of our debt related to real estate owned hotel portfolio to 9.97%.

Changes in the fair value of our interest rate cap are recorded as an unrealized gain or loss on interest rate cap on our consolidated statements of operations and the fair value is recorded in other assets on our consolidated balance sheets. Proceeds received from our counterparty related to the interest rate cap are recorded as proceeds from interest rate cap on our consolidated statements of operations. As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the fair values of our interest rate caps were de minimis. During the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, we recognized $0.0 million and $0.2 million, respectively, of proceeds from interest rate cap. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, we recognized $0.0 million and $1.3 million, respectively, of proceeds from interest rate cap.

Financial Covenants

agreements and term participation facility, shall not be less than 1.1 to 1.0, whereas our ratio of earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization to interest charges as calculated in accordance with our secured term loan agreement shall not be less than 1.5 to 1.0. Further, our tangible net worth, as calculated in accordance with our repurchase agreements, shall not be less than $1.7 billion, whereas our tangible net worth, as calculated in accordance with our secured term loan agreement, which permits us to make certain adjustments for our current expected credit loss reserve, shall not be less than $1.86 billion as of each measurement date. Additionally, (i) cash liquidity shall not be less than the greater of (x) $20 million or (y) 5% of our recourse indebtedness (which includes our secured term loan); and (ii) our indebtedness shall not exceed 77.8% of our total assets, which is the most restrictive indebtedness covenant as of the reporting date. As of September 30, 2025, we are in compliance with all financial covenants under our financing agreements. Commencing with the quarter ending December 31, 2025, our Interest Coverage Ratio shall not be less than 1.3 to 1.0.

Non-Consolidated Senior Interests Sold and Non-Consolidated Senior Interests Held by Third Parties

In certain instances, we use structural leverage through the non-recourse syndication of a match-term senior loan interest to a third party which qualifies for sale accounting under GAAP, or through the acquisition of a subordinate loan for which a non-recourse senior interest is retained by a third party. In such instances, the senior loan is not included on our consolidated balance sheet.

The following table summarizes our non-consolidated senior interest and related retained subordinate interest as of September 30, 2025 ($ in thousands):


	Loan Count	Loan Commitment		Unpaid Principal Balance		Carrying Value		Weighted Average Interest Rate (1)	Term to Initial Maturity (in years)		Term to Fully Extended Maturity (in years) (2)
Fixed rate non-consolidated senior loans	1	$	830,000	$	830,000	N/A		3.47%		1.3		1.3
Retained fixed rate subordinate loans	1	$	125,000	$	125,000	$	124,924	8.50%		1.3		1.3

Floating and Fixed Rate Portfolio

Our business model seeks to minimize our exposure to changing interest rates by originating floating rate loans and financing them with floating rate liabilities. Further, we seek to match the benchmark index in the floating rate loans we originate with the benchmark index used in the related floating rate financings. Generally, we use SOFR as the benchmark index in both our floating rate loans and floating rate financings. As of September 30, 2025, 97.2% of our loans receivable held-for-investment based on unpaid principal balance were floating rate and indexed to SOFR. All of our financing is floating rate and indexed to SOFR, which resulted in approximately $735.8 million of net floating rate exposure.

The following table details our net floating rate exposure as of September 30, 2025 ($ in thousands):


	Net Floating Rate Exposure
Floating rate loans receivable	$	4,391,634
Floating rate liabilities secured by loans receivable		(2,510,407	)
Net floating rate exposure - loan portfolio		1,881,227
Floating rate liabilities secured by real estate owned		(433,286	)
Secured term loan		(712,104	)
Net floating rate exposure - total portfolio	$	735,837

As of September 30, 2025 and aside from our interest rate cap on our debt related to real estate owned hotel portfolio, we do not employ interest rate derivatives (interest rate swaps, caps, collars or floors) to hedge our asset or liability portfolio, but we may do so in the future.

Results of Operations – Three Months Ended September 30, 2025 and June 30, 2025

As previously disclosed, beginning with our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2021, and for all subsequent reporting periods, we have elected to present results of operations by comparing to the immediately preceding period, as well as the same year to date period in the prior year. Given the dynamic nature of our business and the sensitivity to the real estate and capital markets, we believe providing analysis of results of operations by comparing to the immediately preceding period is more meaningful to our stockholders in assessing the overall performance of our current business.

Comparison of the three months ended September 30, 2025 and June 30, 2025

Net Revenue

Total net revenue decreased $5.6 million during the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2025. The decrease is primarily due to a decrease in net interest income of $9.1 million, which was driven by a decrease in interest income of $19.2 million as a result of decreased average loans receivable balances and additional loans on non-accrual status, partially offset by a decrease in interest expense of $10.2 million as a result of lower average borrowing levels during the three months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2025 as a result of loan repayments and foreclosures during the quarter in addition to incremental deleveraging. The decrease in total net revenue was partially offset by an increase in revenue from real estate owned of $3.5 million attributable to revenue from the multifamily properties we foreclosed on in July 2025 and the second quarter of 2025, partially offset by a decrease in revenue at the hotel portfolio compared to the three months ended June 30, 2025 due to lower overall average daily rate (“ADR”) and revenue per available room (“RevPAR”) levels while occupancy levels remained static.

Expenses

management fees incurred to third-parties, insurance, marketing, and general and administrative expenses specific to our real estate owned properties. Expenses increased by $3.6 million during the three months ended September 30, 2025, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2025, primarily due to:

(i)

an increase in depreciation and amortization from real estate owned of $2.9 million due to depreciation expense and amortization of in-place lease intangible values recognized at the multifamily properties we foreclosed on in July 2025 and the second quarter of 2025;

(ii)

an increase in operating expenses from real estate owned of $2.8 million during the comparative period, due to operating expenses such as real estate taxes, utilities, and repairs and maintenance expenses incurred from the multifamily properties we foreclosed on in July 2025 and the second quarter of 2025;

(iii)

an increase in interest expense on real estate owned of $1.3 million due to interest expense recognized on debt related to the multifamily properties we foreclosed on in July 2025 and the second quarter of 2025, partially offset by a decrease in interest expense on the debt related to the hotel portfolio due to the average outstanding balance on such debt being significantly lower and no additional interest being incurred pursuant to the forbearance agreement subsequent to its refinancing on June 9, 2025;

(iv)

partially offset by a decrease in stock-based compensation expense of $2.7 million during the comparative period due to the vesting period of previously issued restricted stock units ending on July 1, 2025 and the remaining unvested restricted stock unit grants having a grant date fair value less than that of the grant which vested;

(v)

further offset by a decrease in management fees of $0.5 million as a result of lower stockholder’s equity compared to the comparative period.

Unrealized Loss on Interest Rate Cap

During the three months ended September 30, 2025, we recognized a $0.1 million unrealized loss on the interest rate cap as the value of the interest rate cap was determined as de minimis due to prevailing interest rates falling well below the cap’s strike rate. There was no unrealized loss recognized during the three months ended June 30, 2025

Gain (Loss) on Partial Sales of Real Estate Owned

During the three months ended September 30, 2025, we sold two floors of office space in our mixed-use real estate owned asset to an unaffiliated purchaser for a gross sales price of $13.8 million, which resulted in a gain on partial sales of $2.0 million. During the three months ended June 30, 2025 we sold five floors of primarily office space in our mixed-use real estate owned asset to an unaffiliated purchaser for a gross sales price of $28.8 million, which resulted in a loss on partial sale of $1.6 million.

Loss from Equity Method Investment

During the three months ended September 30, 2025 and the three months ended June 30, 2025, we recognized de minimis losses from our equity method investment as a result of the net losses recognized by our investee during each respective period.

Valuation Adjustment for Real Estate Owned Held-for-Sale

As of September 30, 2025, we determined that a sale of the hotel portfolio was no longer advisable and thus determined that the hotel portfolio no longer met the held-for-sale criteria and reclassified it to held-for-investment on our consolidated balance sheet, resulting in a $13.0 million reversal of a previously recognized valuation adjustment for real estate owned held-for-sale, representing previously estimated costs to sell. During the three months ended June 30, 2025, we recognized a $0.3 million adjustment for real estate owned held-for-sale, as a result of capital expenditures incurred written off.

Provision for Current Expected Credit Loss Reserve

During the three months ended September 30, 2025, we recorded a provision for current expected credit losses of $24.2 million, which consisted of a $0.6 million increase in our general CECL reserve, a $16.7 million increase in our specific CECL reserve prior to principal charge-offs, and a $6.9 million increase in CECL reserves on accrued interest receivable. The increase in our general CECL reserve was primarily attributable to changes in the historical loss rate of the analogous data set, non-accrual status, and expected remaining duration within our loan portfolio, offset in part by the seasoning of our loan portfolio and a reduction in the size of our loan portfolio subject to determination of the general CECL reserve. The increase of our specific CECL reserves was primarily attributable to changes to collateral values, protective advances made, and specific reserves determined on loans reclassified as held-for-sale, offset in part by principal charge-offs recognized. The increase in our CECL reserves on accrued interest receivable is attributable to reserving against interest income previously recognized on loans placed on non-accrual status during the three months ended September 30, 2025, offset in part by a reduction in reserves upon the receipt of past due interest. During the three months ended June 30, 2025, we recorded a provision for current expected credit losses of $189.5 million, which consisted of a $15.4 million increase in our general CECL reserve, a $143.1 million increase in our specific CECL reserve prior to principal charge-offs, and a $31.0 million increase in CECL reserves on accrued interest receivable prior to charge-offs. The increase in our general CECL reserve was primarily attributable to changes in the

historical loss rate of the analogous data set and changes in risk ratings, non-accrual status, and expected remaining duration within our loan portfolio, offset in part by the seasoning of our loan portfolio and a reduction in the size of our loan portfolio subject to determination of the general CECL reserve. The increase of our specific CECL reserves was primarily attributable to specific reserves determined on loans now classified as risk rated 5, changes to collateral values, and protective advances made, offset in part by principal charge-offs recognized. The increase in our CECL reserves on accrued interest receivable is attributable to reserving against interest income previously recognized on loans placed on non-accrual status during the three months ended June 30, 2025.

Valuation Adjustment for Loan Receivable Held-for-Sale

During the three months ended June 30, 2025, we recognized a valuation adjustment of $0.8 million for our loan receivable held-for-sale as a result of an increase in anticipated net proceeds from the sale of such loan, primarily due to lower transaction costs than previously estimated. There was no such adjustment recognized during the three months ended September 30, 2025.

Comparison of the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and September 30, 2024

Net Revenue

Total net revenue decreased $47.1 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The decrease is primarily due to a decrease in net interest income of $56.6 million, which was driven by a decrease in interest income of $153.8 million as a result of a reduction in the size of our loan portfolio and an increase in the portion of loans on non-accrual status during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2024, partially offset by a decrease in interest expense of $97.2 million primarily as a result of lower average borrowing levels. The decrease in total net revenue was partially offset by an increase in revenue from real estate owned of $9.5 million attributable to revenue recognized from the multifamily properties we foreclosed on during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and higher overall average occupancy, ADR, and RevPAR levels at our hotel portfolio compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2024.

Expenses

Expenses are primarily comprised of base management fees payable to our Manager, general and administrative expenses, stock-based compensation expense, operating expenses from real estate owned, interest expense from real estate owned, and depreciation and amortization on real estate owned and related in-place and other lease intangible values. Operating expenses from real estate owned primarily include real estate taxes, utilities, repairs and maintenance, personnel costs of third-party property managers, property management fees incurred to third-parties, insurance, marketing, and general and administrative expenses specific to our real estate owned properties. Expenses increased by $4.2 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2025, as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2024, primarily due to:

(i)

an increase in operating expenses from real estate owned of $5.6 million during the comparative period, due to operating expenses such as real estate taxes, utilities, and repairs and maintenance expenses incurred from the multifamily properties

we foreclosed on during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and higher variable operating expenses such as labor costs and franchise fees in connection with higher occupancy levels at the hotel portfolio;

(ii)

an increase in interest expense on real estate owned of $4.0 million during the comparative period, due to interest expense recognized on debt related to the multifamily properties we foreclosed on during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and additional interest being incurred on our debt related hotel portfolio pursuant to the forbearance agreement prior to its refinancing on June 9, 2025;

(iii)

an increase in general and administrative expenses of $1.8 million primarily as a result of an increase in non-recurring costs incurred over the comparative period, generally related to legal and professional fees related to loan enforcement and financing related matters;

(iv)

partially offset by a decrease in management fees of $3.0 million as a result of lower stockholders’ equity compared to the comparative period;

(v)

further offset by a decrease in depreciation and amortization from real estate owned of $2.8 million primarily due to depreciation expense not being recognized on the hotel portfolio during the nine months ended September 30, 2025, as we determined the fair value of the hotel portfolio as of September 30, 2025 to be less than the carrying value prior to classification to held-for-sale, partially offset by depreciation expense and amortization of in-place lease intangible values recognized at the multifamily properties we foreclosed on during the nine months ended September 30, 2025;

(vi)

further offset by a decrease in stock-based compensation of $1.4 million due to the vesting period of previously issued restricted stock units ending on July 1, 2025 and the remaining unvested restricted stock unit grants having a grant date fair value less than that of the grant which vested.

Proceeds from Interest Rate Cap

Proceeds from interest rate cap decreased $1.3 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2025. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the strike rate on our interest rate cap was 6.79% as compared to the strike rate on our interest rate cap during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 which was 5.0%.

Unrealized Loss on Interest Rate Cap

During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, we recognized a $0.1 million unrealized loss on the interest rate cap as the value of the interest rate cap was determined as de minimis due to prevailing interest rates falling well below the cap’s strike rate. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we recognized a $1.4 million unrealized loss on the interest rate cap due to the remaining duration of the interest rate cap decreasing as well as prevailing interest rates declining.

Gain on Partial Sales of Real Estate Owned, Net

During the nine months ended September 30, 2025 we sold seven floors of primarily office space in our mixed-use property to an unaffiliated purchaser for a gross sales price of $42.6 million, resulting in an aggregate gain on partial sales, net of $0.4 million. We did not sell any of our real estate owned during the nine months ended September 30, 2024.

Loss from Equity Method Investment

During the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we recognized de minimis losses from our equity method investment as a result of the net losses recognized by our investee during each respective period.

Loss on Extinguishment of Debt

During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, we recognized a loss on extinguishment of debt of $0.5 million due to the recognition of unamortized deferred financing costs resulting from the repayment of financing balances prior to maturity. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we recognized a loss on extinguishment of debt of $3.5 million, inclusive of a $1.6 million spread maintenance payment, $2.1 million of unamortized deferred financing costs resulting from the repayment of financing balances prior to maturity, partially offset by the $0.2 million reversal of previously recognized financing costs that were ultimately not owed upon the payoff of a loan participation.

Valuation Adjustment for Real Estate Owned Held-for-Sale

As of September 30, 2025, we determined that a sale of the hotel portfolio was no longer advisable and thus determined that the hotel portfolio no longer met the held-for-sale criteria and reclassified it to held-for-investment on our consolidated balance sheet, resulting in a $13.0 million reversal of a previously recognized valuation adjustment for real estate owned held-for-sale, representing previously estimated costs to sell. There was no such adjustment recognized during the nine months ended September 30, 2024.

Provision for Current Expected Credit Loss Reserve

During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, we recorded a provision for current expected credit losses of $254.8 million, which consisted of a $12.1 million increase of our general CECL reserve, a $201.3 million increase in our specific CECL reserve prior to principal and exit fee charge-offs, and a $41.4 million increase in CECL reserves on accrued interest receivable prior to charge-offs. The increase in our general CECL reserves was primarily attributable to changes in the historical loss rate of the analogous data set and changes in risk ratings, non-accrual status, and expected remaining duration within our loan portfolio, offset in part by the seasoning of our loan portfolio and a reduction in the size of our loan portfolio subject to determination of the general CECL reserve. The increase in our specific CECL reserves was primarily attributable to specific reserves determined on loans now classified as risk rated 5, changes to collateral values, and protective advances made, offset in part by principal charge-offs recognized. The increase in our CECL reserves on accrued interest receivable is attributable to reserving against interest income previously recognized on loans placed on non-accrual status during the nine months ended September 30, 2025, offset in part by a reduction in reserves upon the receipt of past due interest. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we recorded a provision for current expected credit losses of $182.6 million, which consisted of a $45.5 million increase in our general CECL reserve, a $113.9 million increase in our specific CECL reserve prior to principal charge-offs, and a $23.2 million increase in CECL reserves on accrued interest receivable prior to charge-offs. The increase in our general CECL reserve was primarily attributable to changes in the historical loss rate of the analogous dataset and changes in risk ratings, non-accrual status, and expected remaining duration within our loan portfolio, offset in part by the reduction in the size of our loan portfolio subject to determination of the general CECL reserve. The increase in our specific CECL reserves was primarily attributable to changes to collateral values and additional protective advances made, and the reclassification of a loan receivable to held-for-sale. The increase in our CECL reserves on accrued interest receivable was attributable to reserving against interest income previously recognized on a loan placed on non-accrual status during the nine months ended September 30, 2024.

Valuation Adjustment for Loan Receivable Held-for-Sale

During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, we recognized a valuation adjustment of $41.8 million for our loan receivable held-for-sale as a result of additional protective advances made and a decrease in anticipated proceeds from the sale of such loan.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Capitalization

We have capitalized our business to date primarily through the issuance of shares of our common stock and borrowings under our secured financings and our secured term loan. As of September 30, 2025, we had 140,218,764 shares of our common stock outstanding, representing $1.7 billion of equity, and also had $3.7 billion of outstanding borrowings under our secured financings, our secured term loan, and our debt related to real estate owned hotel portfolio. As of September 30, 2025, our secured financings consisted of five repurchase agreements with capacity of $4.5 billion and a combined outstanding balance of $2.2 billion, a term participation facility with a capacity of $381.2 million and an outstanding balance of $347.3 million, and two asset-specific financings with capacity of $195.8 million and an outstanding balance of $176.5 million. As of September 30, 2025, our secured term loan had an outstanding balance of $712.1 million and our debt related to real estate owned hotel portfolio had an outstanding balance of $235.0 million.

Net Debt-to-Equity Ratio and Total Leverage Ratio

Net Debt-to-Equity Ratio and Total Leverage Ratio are non-GAAP measures that we use to evaluate our financial leverage, which in the case of our Total Leverage Ratio, makes certain adjustments that we believe provide a more conservative measure of our financial condition.

Net Debt-to-Equity Ratio is calculated as the ratio of asset-specific debt (repurchase agreements, term participation facility, loan participations sold, net, notes payable, net, and debt related to real estate owned hotel portfolio, net) and secured term loan, less cash and cash equivalents to total equity.

Total Leverage Ratio is similar to Net Debt-to-Equity Ratio; however, it includes non-consolidated senior interests sold and non-consolidated senior interests held by third parties. Non-consolidated senior interests sold and non-consolidated senior interests held by third parties, as applicable, are secured by the same collateral as our loan and are structurally senior in repayment priority relative to our loan. We believe the inclusion of non-consolidated senior interests sold and non-consolidated senior interests held by third parties provides a meaningful measure of our financial leverage.

The following table presents our Net Debt-to-Equity Ratios and Total Leverage Ratios as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 ($ in thousands):

Sources of Liquidity

Our primary sources of liquidity include cash and cash equivalents, interest income from our loans, proceeds from loan repayments, available borrowings under our repurchase agreements based on existing collateral, available borrowing capacity related to our asset-specific financings based on existing collateral, proceeds from the issuance of incremental secured term loan or other corporate debt issuances, and proceeds from the issuance of our common stock. As circumstances warrant, we and our subsidiaries may also issue common equity, preferred equity and/or debt, incur other debt, including term loans, or explore sales of certain of our loans receivable or real estate owned assets from time to time, dependent upon market conditions and available pricing.

Although we generally intend to hold our loans to maturity, sales of loans receivable, which may result in realized losses, discounted loan payoffs, and/or sales of real estate owned assets may occur in order to redeploy capital to more accretive opportunities, meet operating objectives, adapt to market conditions, and/or manage liquidity needs. Furthermore, we cannot predict the timing or impact of future asset sales or loan repayments, and, since many of our loans are financed, a portion or in some cases all of the net proceeds from the sales or repayments of our loans are expected to be used to de-lever our secured financings.

The following table sets forth, as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, our sources of available liquidity ($ in thousands):

Amounts based on existing collateral.

Under the terms of our loan agreements with certain of our borrowers, we require and have oversight of borrower funds held in reserve accounts with third-party loan servicers for our benefit which provide additional collateral support for our loans. Upon the occurrence of certain events or the borrower meeting prescribed conditions in accordance with the terms of the loan agreement, these funds may be transferred by the third-party loan servicers to the borrower or to other third parties, subject to our approval, to satisfy certain obligations. In instances where the borrower is in monetary default under the terms of the loan agreement, we have the ability to direct the third-party loan servicers to release such reserve funds to us to satisfy past due amounts. As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, funds held in such reserve accounts are not reflected on our consolidated balance sheets.

The following table presents a summary of our unencumbered loans receivable held-for-investment as of September 30, 2025 ($ in thousands):

In October 2025, we repaid in full the associated financing of a senior loan receivable secured by a parcel of land in New York, NY. As of September 30, 2025, the loan had a carrying value and unpaid principal balance of $88.2 million and $87.7 million, respectively, and was risk rated 4.

(5)

In September 2025, through a mortgage foreclosure auction of the underlying collateral asset, we entered into an agreement with an unaffiliated purchaser to sell our right, title, and interest in the collateral asset for a gross sales price of $28.1 million. This sale was completed in October 2025 and, accordingly, we reflected this loan as held-for-sale and recognized a principal charge-off as of September 30, 2025.

As of September 30, 2025, our mixed-use real estate owned asset with a carrying value of $104.2 million (including related net lease intangible assets) was unencumbered. In October 2025, we (i) sold the signage component of this asset to an unaffiliated purchaser for a gross sales price of $12.2 million and (ii) entered into a binding agreement to sell one additional floor of office space at this asset to an unaffiliated purchaser for a gross sales price of $5.9 million.

The ability to finance or sell certain of these unencumbered assets is subject to one or more counterparties’ willingness to finance or purchase such loans or real estate owned assets.

To facilitate future offerings of equity, debt and other securities, we have in place an effective shelf registration statement (the “Shelf”) with the SEC. The securities covered by this Shelf include up to $250,000,000 in the aggregate of: (i) common stock, (ii) preferred stock, (iii) debt securities, (iv) depositary shares, (v) warrants, (vi) purchase contracts, and (vii) units, and up to 16,058,983 shares of common stock offered by the selling securityholders. The specifics of any future offerings, along with the use of proceeds of any securities offered, will be described in detail in a prospectus supplement, or other offering material, at the time of any offering.

On May 10, 2024, we entered into an equity distribution agreement with certain sales agents, pursuant to which we may sell, from time to time, up to an aggregate sales price of $150.0 million of our common stock pursuant to a continuous offering program (the “ATM Agreement”) under our Shelf. Sales of our common stock made pursuant to the ATM Agreement may be made in negotiated transactions or transactions that are deemed to be “at the market” offerings as defined in Rule 415 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The timing and amount of actual sales will depend on a variety of factors, including market conditions, the trading price of our common stock, our capital needs, and our determination of the appropriate sources of funding to meet such needs. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, we did not issue any shares of our common stock pursuant to the ATM Agreement. As of September 30, 2025, the ATM Agreement has not been utilized, and $150.0 million remained available for issuance of our common stock pursuant to the ATM Agreement.

Liquidity Needs

Our primary liquidity needs include loan origination and acquisitions, future fundings to our borrowers on our unfunded loan commitments, interest payment and principal repayment obligations on outstanding borrowings under our financings, operating expenses, management fees, and dividend payments to our stockholders necessary to satisfy REIT dividend requirements. We currently maintain, and seek to maintain, cash and liquidity to i) comply with minimum liquidity covenants under certain of our financing agreements and ii) meet our above mentioned primary liquidity needs. Our Secured Term Loan has a contractual maturity date of August 9, 2026. We may extend the contractual maturity date of our Secured Term Loan, obtain replacement financing, or execute another capital solution deemed appropriate by management.

During the two-year period ended December 31, 2024, we made deleveraging payments to certain of our financing counterparties in the amounts of $643.1 million. Further, during the nine months ended September 30, 2025, we made deleveraging payments to certain of our financing counterparties in the amount of $275.1 million and expect to continue to do so as agreed with our lenders or on an

as-needed basis. Our ability to make any future deleveraging payments or required principal repayments will depend upon the results of our operating activities, our total sources of liquidity, our financial condition, and the overall market conditions in which we operate, among other factors. In addition, as market conditions evolve, we expect to continue to work with our secured financing counterparties as needed to seek adjustments to the timing and amount of any required principal repayment obligations; however, there is no assurance that such counterparties will agree to modify the required amount or timing of such repayments.

As of September 30, 2025, we had aggregate unfunded loan commitments of $347.8 million which is comprised of funding for capital expenditures and construction, leasing costs, and carry costs. The timing of these fundings will vary depending on the progress of capital projects, leasing, and cash flows at the properties securing our loans and equity contributions from our borrowers, if required. 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, but are expected to occur over the remaining loan term. In certain circumstances, conditions to funding may not be met by our borrowers and portions of our unfunded loan commitments may never become eligible to be drawn on.

We may from time to time use capital to retire, redeem, or repurchase our equity or debt securities, term loans or other debt instruments through open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. The execution of such retirements, redemptions or repurchases, if any, will depend on prevailing market conditions, our liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions and/or other factors deemed relevant.

(1)

The estimated allocation of our unfunded loan commitments for loans receivable held-for-investment is based on the earlier of our expected funding date and the commitment expiration date. As of September 30, 2025, we have $191.3 million of in-place financings to fund our remaining commitments, excluding $13.7 million of approved and undrawn credit capacity based on existing collateral.

(2)

The allocation of our secured financings and secured term loan is based on the earlier of the fully extended maturity date (assuming conditions to extend are met) of each individual corresponding loan receivable or the maximum maturity date under the respective financing agreement, and assumes eleven loans with an aggregate unpaid principal balance of $1.7 billion that are in maturity default that represent collateral for aggregate borrowings outstanding of $946.1 million have a contractual obligation to pay in less than one year.

(3)

Amounts include the related future interest payment obligations, which are estimated by assuming the amounts outstanding under our secured financing agreements and SOFR in effect as of September 30, 2025, will remain constant into the future. Actual amounts borrowed and rates will vary over time. Our floating rate loans and related liabilities are indexed to SOFR. Totals exclude non-consolidated senior interests.

(4)

In October 2025, we repaid $109.2 million of our secured financings due in less than one year using a portion of the proceeds received from the repayment of a loan receivable.

In certain circumstances, conditions to funding may not be met by our borrowers and portions of our unfunded loan commitments may not become eligible to be drawn on. Of the $347.8 million of unfunded loan commitments for our loans receivable held-for-investment as of September 30, 2025, the following table details the portion of unfunded loan commitments and in-place financings to fund our remaining commitments for loans receivable held-for-investment whereby conditions to funding are not currently being met, including loans on non-accrual status, in maturity default, risk rated 5, and/or which are delinquent in accordance with our revenue recognition policy ($ in thousands):


	Unfunded Loan Commitments			In-place Financing Commitments			Net Loan Commitment
Gross total commitment	$	347,777		$	191,270		$	156,507
Non-accrual, maturity default, risk rated 5 and/or delinquent loans		(113,038	)		(61,827	)		(51,211	)
Net loan commitment	$	234,739		$	129,443		$	105,296

Subject to borrowers meeting future funding conditions provided for in our loan agreements, we expect to fund our $105.3 million of net loan commitments over the remaining maximum term of the related loans, which have a weighted average future funding period of 0.7 years.

We incur to our Manager, payable in cash, a base management fee and incentive fee (to the extent earned), which are generally paid quarterly, in arrears. The tables above do not include the amounts payable to our Manager under the Management Agreement which are reflected as management fee payable - affiliate on our consolidated balance sheet.

Cash Flows

The following table provides a breakdown of the net change in our cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively ($ in thousands):


	Nine Months Ended
	September 30, 2025			September 30, 2024
Net cash flows (used in) provided by operating activities	$	(32,858	)	$	66,188
Net cash flows provided by investing activities		1,529,082			546,779
Net cash flows used in financing activities		(1,273,463	)		(683,470	)
Net increase (decrease) in cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash	$	222,761		$	(70,503	)

We experienced a net increase in cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash of $222.8 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to a net decrease of $70.5 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2024.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, we received $1.3 billion from loan repayments, received $304.0 million of loan sale proceeds, received $38.6 million from partial sales of our mixed-use real estate owned property, and received $903.7 million of proceeds from borrowings under our financing arrangements, net of payments for deferred financing costs and exit fees. Additionally, we made $96.8 million of advances on loans and made repayments on financings arrangements of $2.2 billion (inclusive of $275.1 million of deleveraging repayments).

Income Taxes

We have elected and believe we have qualified to be taxed as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes, commencing with our initial taxable year ended December 31, 2015. We generally must distribute annually at least 90% of our REIT taxable income, determined without regard to the deduction for dividends paid and excluding net capital gain, to maintain our REIT status. To the extent that we satisfy this distribution requirement but distribute less than 100% of our REIT taxable income, we will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on our undistributed REIT taxable income. In addition, we will be subject to a 4% nondeductible excise tax if the actual amount that we pay (or are treated as paying) out to our stockholders in a calendar year is less than a minimum amount specified under U.S. federal tax laws. Our real estate owned hotel portfolio is held in a TRS. Our TRS is not consolidated for U.S. federal income tax purposes and is taxed separately as a corporation. For financial reporting purposes, a provision or benefit for current and deferred taxes is established for the portion of earnings or expense recognized by us with respect to our TRS.

Our qualification as a REIT also depends on our ability to meet various other requirements imposed by the Internal Revenue Code, which relate to organizational structure, diversity of stock ownership and certain restrictions with regard to the nature of our assets and the sources of our income. Even if we qualify as a REIT, we may be subject to certain U.S. federal income and excise taxes and state and local taxes on our income and assets. If we fail to maintain our qualification as a REIT for any taxable year, we may be subject to material penalties as well as federal, state and local income tax on our REIT taxable income at regular corporate rates and we would not be able to qualify as a REIT for the subsequent four full taxable years. As of September 30, 2025, we were in compliance with all REIT requirements.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of September 30, 2025, we had no off-balance sheet arrangements aside from those discussed in Note 3 - Loan Portfolio, Note 4 - Equity Method Investment, and Note 14 - Commitments and Contingencies.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires our Manager to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. We believe that all of the decisions and estimates are reasonable, based upon the information available to us. We believe that the following accounting policies are those most critical to the judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our financial statements. The assumptions within our accounting policies may vary from quarter to quarter as our portfolio changes and market and economic conditions evolve.

See Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements for a description of our significant accounting policies.

Current Expected Credit Losses

The CECL reserve required under ASC 326, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses , reflects our current estimate of potential credit losses related to our loan portfolio. Changes to the CECL reserve are recognized through a provision for or reversal of current expected credit loss reserve on our consolidated statements of operations. ASC 326 specifies the reserve should be based on relevant information about past events, including historical loss experience, current loan portfolio, market conditions and reasonable and supportable macroeconomic forecasts through our loan portfolio’s expected remaining duration.

For our loan portfolio, we perform a quantitative assessment of the impact of CECL primarily using the Weighted Average Remaining Maturity, or WARM, method. The application of the WARM method to estimate a general CECL reserve requires judgment, including the appropriate historical loan loss reference data, the expected timing and amount of future loan fundings and repayments, the current credit quality of our portfolio, and our expectations of performance and market conditions over the relevant time period.

use a straight-line method of reverting to the historical loss rate. Additionally, we assess the obligation to extend credit through our unfunded loan commitments through their expected remaining duration, adjusted for projected fundings from interest reserves, if applicable, which is considered in the estimate of the general CECL reserve. For both the funded and unfunded portions of our loans, we consider our internal risk rating of each loan as the primary credit quality indicator underlying our assessment.

We evaluate the credit quality of each of our loans receivable on an individual basis and assign a risk rating at least quarterly. We have developed a loan grading system for all of our outstanding loans receivable that are collateralized directly or indirectly by real estate. Grading criteria include, but are not limited to, as-is or as-stabilized debt yield, term of loan, property type, property or collateral location, loan type, structure, collateral cash flow volatility and other more subjective variables that include, but are not limited to, as-is or as-stabilized collateral value, market conditions, industry conditions, borrower/sponsor financial stability, and borrower/sponsor exit plan. While evaluating the credit quality of each loan within our portfolio, we assess these quantitative and qualitative factors as a whole and with no pre-prescribed weight on their impact to our determination of a loan’s risk rating. However, based upon the facts and circumstances for each loan and the overall market conditions, we may consider certain previously mentioned factors more or less relevant than others. We utilize the grading system to determine each loan’s risk of loss and to provide a determination as to whether an individual loan is impaired and whether a specific CECL reserve is necessary.

Fair values of collateral assets used to determine specific CECL reserves are calculated using a discounted cash flow model, a sales comparison approach, or a market capitalization approach. Estimates of fair values used to determine specific CECL reserves as of September 30, 2025 include assumptions of property specific cash flows over estimated holding periods, assumptions of property redevelopment costs, assumptions of leasing activities, discount rates ranging from 6.0% to 9.5%, and market and terminal capitalization rates ranging from 4.66% to 8.25%. These assumptions are based upon the nature of the properties, recent sales and lease comparables, recent and projected property cash flows, and anticipated real estate and capital market conditions.

Significant judgment is required in determining impairment and in estimating the resulting credit loss reserve, and actual losses, if any, could materially differ from those estimates.

Real Estate Owned

We may assume legal title and/or physical possession of the underlying collateral property of a defaulted loan through foreclosure, a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure, or an assignment-in-lieu of foreclosure.

We account for acquisitions of real estate, including foreclosures, deed-in-lieu of foreclosures, or assignment-in-lieu of foreclosures, in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations , which first requires that we determine if the real estate investment is the acquisition of an asset or a business combination. Under this model, we identify and determine the estimated fair value of any assets acquired and liabilities assumed. This generally results in the allocation of the purchase price to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on the relative estimated fair values of each respective asset and liability. Debt related to real estate owned hotel portfolio is initially recorded at its estimated fair value at the time of foreclosure, deed-in-lieu of foreclosure, or assignment-in-lieu of foreclosure.

Assets acquired and liabilities assumed generally include land, building, building improvements, tenant improvements, furniture, fixtures and equipment, mortgages payable, and identified intangible assets and liabilities, which generally include above or below market lease values, in-place lease values, and other lease-related values. In estimating fair values for allocating the purchase price of our real estate owned, we may utilize various methods, including a market approach, which considers recent sales of similar properties, adjusted for differences in location and state of the physical asset, or a replacement cost approach, which considers the composition of physical assets acquired, adjusted based on industry standard information and the remaining useful life of the acquired property. In estimating fair values of intangible assets acquired or liabilities assumed, we consider the estimated cost of leasing our real estate owned

assuming the property was vacant, the value of the current lease agreements relative to market-rate leases, and the estimation of total lease-up time including lost rents.

Real estate assets held-for-investment are evaluated for indicators of impairment on a quarterly basis. Factors that we may consider in our impairment analysis include, among others: (1) significant underperformance relative to historical or anticipated operating results; (2) significant negative industry or economic trends; (3) costs necessary to extend the life or improve the real estate asset; (4) significant increase in competition; and (5) ability to hold and dispose of the real estate asset in the ordinary course of business. A real estate asset is considered impaired when the sum of estimated future undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the real estate asset over the estimated remaining holding period is less than the carrying amount of such real estate asset. Cash flows include operating cash flows and anticipated capital proceeds generated by the sale of the real estate asset. If the sum of such estimated undiscounted cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the real estate asset, an impairment charge is recorded equal to the excess of the carrying value of the real estate asset over its estimated fair value.

When determining the estimated fair value of a real estate asset, we make certain assumptions including consideration of projected operating cash flows, comparable selling prices and projected cash flows from the eventual disposition of the real estate asset based upon our estimate of a capitalization rate and discount rate.

There were no impairments of our real estate owned held-for-investment assets through September 30, 2025.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitati ve Disclosures About Market Risk.

Interest Rate Risk

In early 2022, the U.S. Federal Reserve began a campaign to combat inflationary pressures by increasing interest rates, ultimately resulting in benchmark interest rates increasing by 5.25% by the end of 2023. Although the U.S. Federal Reserve has reduced benchmark interest rates between September 2024 and September 2025, and again in October 2025, such benchmark rates remain high relative to recent historical standards. Additionally, the U.S. Federal Reserve has indicated that further changes in benchmark interest rates are dependent upon changes in prices and employment markets. The timing, direction, and extent of any future adjustment to benchmark interest rates by the U.S. Federal Reserve is uncertain. High benchmark interest rates imposed by the U.S. Federal Reserve may continue to increase our interest expense, negatively impact the ability of our borrowers to service their debt, and reduce the value of the CRE collateral underlying our loans. Conversely, in a period of declining interest rates, the interest income on floating rate investments would decline, while any decline in the interest we are charged on our floating rate debt may not equal or exceed the decrease in interest income and the interest expense we incur. Exclusive of the impact of non-accrual loans, rising interest rates will generally increase our net interest income, while declining interest rates will generally decrease our net interest income.

The following table illustrates as of September 30, 2025 the impact on our net interest income and net interest income per share for loans receivable held-for-investment for the twelve-month period following September 30, 2025, assuming a decrease in SOFR of 50 and 100 basis points and an increase in SOFR of 50 and 100 basis points in the applicable interest rate benchmark (based on SOFR of 4.13% as of September 30, 2025) ($ in thousands, except per share data):


Net Floating			Decrease				Increase
Rate Exposure		Change in	100 Basis Points		50 Basis Points		50 Basis Points			100 Basis Points
$	735,837	Net interest income	$	7,044	$	3,302	$	(3,302	)	$	(6,605	)
		Net interest income per share	$	0.05	$	0.02	$	(0.02	)	$	(0.05	)

Risks related to fluctuations in cash flows and asset values associated with movements in interest rates may also contribute to the risk of nonperformance on floating rate assets. In the case of a significant increase in interest rates, the cash flows of the collateral real estate assets to our loans may be insufficient to pay debt service due, which may contribute to nonperformance of our loans. We seek to manage this risk by, among other things, generally requiring our borrowers to acquire interest rate caps from an unaffiliated third-party.

Credit Risk

Our loans and other investments are also subject to credit risk, including the risk of default. In particular, changes in general economic conditions, including interest rates, will affect the creditworthiness of borrowers and/or the value of underlying real estate collateral relating to our investments. By its nature, our investment strategy emphasizes prudent risk management and capital preservation by primarily originating senior loans utilizing underwriting techniques requiring relatively conservative loan-to-value ratio levels to insulate us from credit losses absent a significant diminution in collateral value. In addition, we seek to manage credit risk by performing extensive due diligence on our collateral, borrower and guarantors, as applicable, evaluating, among other things, title, environmental and physical condition of collateral, comparable sales and leasing analysis of similar collateral, the quality of and alternative uses for the real estate collateral being underwritten, submarket trends, our borrower’s track record and the reasonableness of the borrower’s projections prior to originating a loan. Subsequent to origination, we also manage credit risk by proactively monitoring our investments and, whenever possible, limiting our own leverage to partial recourse or non-recourse, match-funding financing. Notwithstanding these efforts, there can be no assurance that we will be able to avoid losses in all circumstances. The performance and value of our loans and investments depend upon, among other things, the borrower’s ability to improve and 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 Sponsor’s asset management team monitors the performance of our loan portfolio and our Sponsor’s asset management and origination teams maintain regular contact with borrowers, co-lenders and local market experts to monitor the performance of the underlying loan collateral, anticipate borrower, property and market issues and, to the extent necessary or appropriate, enforce our rights as the lender.

In addition, we are exposed to the risks generally associated with the CRE market, including variances in occupancy rates, capitalization rates, absorption rates and other macroeconomic factors beyond our control, including changes in benchmark interest rates, cost increases associated with construction materials, employment conditions, and supply chain and labor market disruptions. We seek to manage these risks through our underwriting, loan structuring, financing structuring, and asset management processes.

In the event that we are forced to foreclose, our broader Sponsor platform includes professionals experienced in CRE development, ownership, property management, and asset management which enables us to execute the workout of a troubled loan and protect investors’ capital in a way that we believe many non-traditional lenders cannot.

Capital Markets Risk

We are exposed to risks related to the equity and debt capital markets which impact our related ability to raise capital through the issuance of our common stock or other debt or equity-related instruments. As a REIT, we are required to distribute a significant portion of our REIT taxable income annually, which constrains our ability to retain and accumulate operating earnings and therefore requires us to utilize debt or equity capital to finance the growth of our business. We seek to mitigate these risks by constantly monitoring the debt and equity capital markets, the maturity profile of our in-place loan portfolio and financings, and future funding requirements on our loan portfolio to inform our decisions on the amount, timing, and terms of any capital we may raise.

Each of our repurchase agreements contain “margin maintenance” provisions, which allow the lender to require the delivery of cash or other assets to reduce the financing amount against loans that have been deemed to have experienced a diminution in value. A substantial deterioration in the commercial real estate capital markets, among other things, may negatively impact the value of assets financed with lenders that have margin maintenance provisions in their facilities. Certain of our repurchase agreements permit valuation adjustments solely as a result of collateral-specific credit events, while other repurchase agreements contain provisions also allowing our lenders to make margin calls upon the occurrence of adverse changes in the capital markets or as a result of interest rate or spread fluctuations, subject to minimum thresholds, among other factors. As of September 30, 2025, we have not received any margin calls under any of our repurchase agreements.

Financing Risk

We finance our business through a variety of means, including the syndication of non-consolidated senior interests, notes payable, borrowings under our repurchase and participation facilities, the syndication of senior participations in our originated senior loans, and our secured term loan. Over time, as market conditions change, we may use other forms of financing in addition to these methods of financing. Weakness or volatility in the debt capital markets, the CRE and mortgage markets, changes in regulatory requirements, geopolitical volatility, global trade tensions, and fluctuation in interest rates and the resulting market disruptions therefrom, among other things, could adversely affect one or more of our lenders or potential lenders and could cause one or more of our lenders or potential lenders to be unwilling or unable to provide us with financing, increase the costs of or reduce the advance rate on existing financing or otherwise offer unattractive terms for that financing. In addition, we may seek to finance our business through the issuance of our common stock or other equity or equity-related instruments, though there is no assurance that such financing will be available on a timely basis with attractive terms, or at all.

Counterparty Risk

The nature of our business requires us to hold cash and cash equivalents with various financial institutions, as well as obtain financing from various financial institutions. This exposes us to the risk that these financial institutions may not fulfill their obligations to us under various contractual arrangements. We mitigate this exposure by depositing our cash and cash equivalents and entering into financing agreements with high credit-quality institutions.

Our relationships with our lenders subject us to counterparty risks including the risk that a counterparty is unable to fund undrawn credit capacity, particularly if such counterparty enters bankruptcy, among other detrimental effects. We seek to manage this risk by diversifying our financing sources across counterparties and financing types and generally obtaining financing from high credit quality institutions.

The nature of our loans and other investments also exposes us to the risk that our borrowers are unable to execute their business plans, and as a result do not make required interest and principal payments on scheduled due dates, as well as the impact of our borrowers’ tenants not making scheduled rent payments when contractually due. We seek to manage this risk through a comprehensive credit analysis prior to making an investment and rigorous monitoring of our borrowers’ progress in executing their business plans as well as market conditions that may affect the underlying collateral, through our asset management process. Each loan is structured with various lender protections that are designed to discourage and deter fraudulent behavior and other bad acts by borrowers, as well as require borrowers to adhere to their stated business plans while the loan is outstanding. Such protections may include, without limitation: cash management accounts, “bad boy” carveout guarantees, completion guarantees, guarantor minimum net worth and liquidity requirements, partial or full recourse to sponsors and/or guarantors, approval rights over major decisions, and performance tests throughout the loan term.

Prepayment Risk

Prepayment risk is the risk that principal will be repaid prior to initial maturity, which may require us to identify new investment opportunities to deploy such capital at a similar rate of return in order to avoid an overall reduction in our net interest income. We may structure our loans with spread maintenance, minimum multiples and make-whole provisions to protect against early repayment. Typically, investments are structured with the equivalent of 12 to 24 months’ spread maintenance or a minimum level of income that an investment is contractually obligated to return. In general, an increase in prepayment rates accelerates the accretion of deferred income,

including origination fees and exit fees, which increases interest income earned on the asset during the period of repayment. Conversely, if capital that is repaid is not subsequently redeployed into investment opportunities generating a similar return, future periods may experience reduced net interest income.

Repayment / Extension Risk

Loans are generally expected to be repaid at maturity, unless the borrower repays early or meets contractual conditions to qualify for a maturity extension. The granting of these extensions may cause a loan’s term to extend beyond the term of its related secured financing. Higher interest rates recently imposed by the U.S. Federal Reserve relative to recent historical standards may lead to an increase in the number of our borrowers who exercise or request additional extension options, or who may become unwilling or unable to make contractual payments when due. Some of our borrowers may experience delays in the execution of their business plans, changes in their capital position and available liquidity, and/or changes in market conditions which may impact the performance of the underlying collateral asset, borrower, or sponsor. Accordingly, this may result in the borrower not meeting certain extension conditions such as minimum debt yield, maximum LTV, and/or the ability of the borrower to purchase replacement interest rate caps. Higher interest rates may also increase the number of our borrowers who may default because, among other things, they may not be able to find replacement financing for our loan. Furthermore, there may be certain instances where, for loans which have been modified, we may not be able to maintain the associated financing on its existing terms. This could have a negative impact on our results of operations, and in some situations, we may be forced to sell assets to maintain adequate liquidity, which could cause us to incur losses.

Currency Risk

To date, we have made no loans and hold no assets or liabilities denominated or payable in foreign currencies, although we may do so in the future.

We may in the future hold assets denominated or payable in foreign currencies, which would expose us to foreign currency risk. As a result, a change in foreign currency exchange rates may have a positive or an adverse impact on the valuation of our assets, as well as our income and dividends. Any such changes in foreign currency exchange rates may impact the measurement of such assets or income for the purposes of our REIT tests and may affect the amounts available for payment of dividends to our stockholders.

Although not required, if applicable, we may hedge any currency exposures. However, such currency hedging strategies may not eliminate all of our currency risk due to, among other things, uncertainties in the timing and/or amount of payments received on the related investments and/or unequal, inaccurate or unavailability of hedges to perfectly offset changes in future exchange rates. Additionally, we may be required under certain circumstances to collateralize our currency hedges for the benefit of the hedge counterparty, which could adversely affect our liquidity.

Real Estate Risk

The market values of loans secured directly or indirectly by CRE assets and CRE assets themselves are subject to volatility and may be adversely affected by a number of factors, including the interest rate environment; persistent inflation; increases in remote work trends; natural disasters or pandemics; national, regional, local and foreign economic conditions (which may be adversely affected by industry slowdowns, global trade tensions, and other factors); regulatory and legislative uncertainty; supply chain and labor market disruptions; changes in social conditions; changes in employment conditions; regional or local real estate conditions; geopolitical volatility; changes or continued weakness in specific industry segments; construction quality, age and design; changes to construction costs; demographic factors; changes to building or similar codes and government regulatory requirements (such as rent control and zoning laws); and changes in real property tax rates. In addition, decreases in property values reduce the value of the loan collateral and the potential proceeds available and to a borrower to repay the underlying loans, which could also cause us to suffer losses. We may realize losses related to foreclosures, the restructuring of the loans in our investment portfolio on terms that may be more favorable to borrowers than those underwritten at origination, or the sale of real estate owned assets. We seek to manage these risks through our underwriting, loan structuring, financing structuring and asset management processes.

Item 4. Control s and Procedures.

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 filed or submitted with the SEC is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act of 1934) during the three months ended September 30, 2025 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

As of September 30, 2025, an evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934). Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level as of September 30, 2025.
