Franklin BSP Realty Trust, Inc. Announces Second Quarter 2023 Results

Richard Byrne, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of FBRT, said, “FBRT posted strong earnings producing a 16.5% distributable earnings return on equity and comfortably covering our common stock dividend. The credit quality of our portfolio and our liquidity cushion positions us well as we move into the second half of 2023."
Further commenting on the Company's results, Michael Comparato, President of FBRT, added, “Our portfolio is conservatively positioned and is further enhanced by a strong balance sheet with low leverage. Given the turbulence of the market, we continue to aggressively monitor our portfolio and remain disciplined in our asset selection. In addition, we are actively exploring generative artificial intelligence (“AI”) to assess how AI can incrementally enhance our processes.”
Core portfolio: For the quarter ended June 30, 2023, the Company closed $230 million of loan commitments and funded $281 million of principal balance on new and existing loans. FBRT received loan repayments of $232 million. The Company's core portfolio at the end of the quarter consisted of 156 loans with an aggregate principal balance of approximately $5.1 billion. The average loan size was approximately $33 million. Over 99% of the aggregate principal balance of FBRT's portfolio is in senior mortgage loans, with approximately 98% in floating rate loans. Approximately 77% of the portfolio is collateralized by multifamily properties. The Company's exposure to office loans is 6%. As of June 30, 2023, the Company had five loans on its watch list (risk rating of four or five).
On April 18, 2023, the Company announced the successful completion of the sale of the Williamsburg Hotel, FBRT’s Brooklyn hotel loan. The sale closed for a total sale price of $96 million, comprising cash and new indebtedness. As a result of the sale, the Company received the full principal amount of the loan and approximately $20 million of additional proceeds after payment of all related closing expenses. As such, the loan has been removed from watch list.
Conduit: For the quarter ended June 30, 2023, the Company closed $76 million of fixed rate loans that were sold or will be sold through FBRT's conduit program. For the same period, the Company sold $58 million of conduit loans for a gain of $2.1 million, gross of related derivatives.

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



Allowance for credit losses: During the quarter, FBRT recognized an incremental provision for credit losses of approximately $21.6 million, with $11.9 million of the increase related to an asset-specific provision.
Book Value
As of June 30, 2023, book value was $15.85 per diluted common share on a fully converted basis(1).
Share Repurchase Program
The Company has a $65 million share repurchase program. During the quarter, the Company repurchased 444,726 shares of FBRT's common stock at an average gross price of $12.36 per share, inclusive of any broker's fees or commissions, for an aggregate of $5.5 million. The Company did not repurchase any additional shares subsequent to the quarter ended. As of July 26, 2023, $39.3 million remains available under the $65 million share repurchase program.
Subsequent Event
On July 17, 2023, the Company called all of the outstanding notes issued by BSPRT 2019-FL5 Issuer, Ltd., a wholly owned indirect subsidiary of the Company. The outstanding principal of the notes on the date of the call was $122.0 million. The Company will recognize all the remaining unamortized deferred financing costs of $2.9 million as Interest expense in the Company's consolidated statements of operations in the third quarter of 2023, which will be a non-cash charge.
Distributable Earnings and Run-Rate Distributable Earnings
Distributable Earnings is a non-GAAP measure, which the Company defines as GAAP net income (loss), adjusted for (i) non-cash CLO amortization acceleration and amortization over the expected useful life of the Company's CLOs, (ii) unrealized gains and losses on loans, derivatives and residential adjustable-rate mortgage pass-through securities ("ARM Agency Securities" or "ARMS"), including CECL reserves and impairments, (iii) non-cash equity compensation expense, (iv) depreciation and amortization, (v) subordinated performance fee accruals/(reversal), (vi) loan workout charges, (vii) realized gains and losses on debt extinguishment, (viii) certain other non-cash items, and (ix) impairments of acquisition assets related to the Capstead merger. Further, Run-Rate Distributable Earnings, a non-GAAP measure, presents Distributable Earnings before trading and derivative gain/loss on ARMs.
The Company believes that Distributable Earnings and Run-Rate Distributable Earnings provide meaningful information to consider in addition to the disclosed GAAP results. The Company believes Distributable Earnings is a useful financial metric for existing and potential future holders of its common stock as historically, over time, Distributable Earnings has been an indicator of dividends per share. As a REIT, the Company generally must distribute annually at least 90% of its taxable income, subject to certain adjustments, and therefore believes dividends are one of the principal reasons stockholders may invest in its common stock. Further, Distributable Earnings helps investors evaluate performance excluding the effects of certain transactions and GAAP adjustments that the Company does not believe are necessarily indicative of current loan portfolio performance and the Company's operations and is one of the performance metrics the Company's board of directors considers when dividends are declared. The Company believes Run-Rate Distributable Earnings is a useful financial metric because it presents the Distributable Earnings of its core businesses, net of the impacts of the realized trading and derivative gain/loss on the residential adjustable-rate mortgage securities acquired from Capstead, which the Company is actively in the process of liquidating from its portfolio.
Distributable Earnings and Run-Rate Distributable Earnings do not represent net income (loss) and should not be considered as an alternative to GAAP net income (loss). The methodology for calculating Distributable Earnings and Run-Rate Distributable Earnings may differ from the methodologies employed by other companies and thus may not be comparable to the Distributable Earnings reported by other companies.
Please refer to the financial statements and reconciliation of GAAP Net Income to Distributable Earnings and Run-Rate Distributable Earnings included at the end of this release for further information.

Adjusted for non-cash CLO amortization acceleration to effectively amortize issuance costs of our CLOs over the expected lifetime of the CLOs. We assume our CLOs will be outstanding for four years and amortized the financing costs over four years in our distributable earnings as compared to effective yield methodology in our GAAP earnings. 2. Represents unrealized gains and losses on (i) commercial mortgage loans, held for sale, measured at fair value, (ii) other real estate investments, measured at fair value, (iii) derivatives, and (iv) ARMs. 3. Represents accrued and unpaid subordinated performance fee. In addition, reversal of subordinated performance fee represents cash payments of the subordinated performance fee made during the period. 4. Represents loan workout charges the Company incurred, which the Company deemed likely to be recovered. Reversal of loan workout charges represent recoveries received. During the second quarter of 2023, the Company recovered $5.1 million of loan workout charges, in aggregate, related to the loan workout charges incurred in the first, second, and third quarters of 2022 amounting to $1.9 million, $3.0 million, and $0.2 million, respectively. 5. Equal to Distributable Earnings excluding the realized trading and derivatives gain/loss on ARMs. 6. Distributable Earnings to common is net of preferred equity E class dividend payment and non-controlling interests in joint ventures. 7. Represents the average of all equity except the preferred equity E class. 8. Fully converted per share information assumes applicable conversion of our outstanding series of convertible preferred stock into common stock and the full vesting of our outstanding equity compensation awards. 9.

28 Definitions Distributable Earnings and Run-Rate Distributable Earnings Distributable Earnings is a non-GAAP measure, which the Company defines as GAAP net income (loss), adjusted for (i) non-cash CLO amortization acceleration and amortization over the expected useful life of the Company's CLOs, (ii) unrealized gains and losses on loans, derivatives and residential adjustable-rate mortgage pass-through securities ("ARM Agency Securities" or "ARMS"), including CECL reserves and impairments, (iii) non-cash equity compensation expense, (iv) depreciation and amortization, (v) subordinated performance fee accruals/(reversal), (vi) loan workout charges, (vii) realized gains and losses on debt extinguishment, (viii) certain other non-cash items, and (ix) impairments of acquisition assets related to the Capstead merger. Further, Run-Rate Distributable Earnings, a non-GAAP measure, presents Distributable Earnings before trading and derivative gain/loss on ARMs. The Company believes that Distributable Earnings and Run-Rate Distributable Earnings provide meaningful information to consider in addition to the disclosed GAAP results. The Company believes Distributable Earnings is a useful financial metric for existing and potential future holders of its common stock as historically, over time, Distributable Earnings has been an indicator of dividends per share. As a REIT, the Company generally must distribute annually at least 90% of its taxable income, subject to certain adjustments, and therefore believes dividends are one of the principal reasons stockholders may invest in its common stock. Further, Distributable Earnings helps investors evaluate performance excluding the effects of certain transactions and GAAP adjustments that the Company does not believe are necessarily indicative of current loan portfolio performance and the Company's operations and is one of the performance metrics the Company's board of directors considers when dividends are declared. The Company believes Run-Rate Distributable Earnings is a useful financial metric because it presents the Distributable Earnings of its core businesses, net of the impacts of the realized trading and derivative gain/loss on the residential adjustable-rate mortgage securities acquired from Capstead, which the Company is actively in the process of liquidating from its portfolio. Distributable Earnings and Run-Rate Distributable Earnings do not represent net income (loss) and should not be considered as an alternative to GAAP net income (loss). The methodology for calculating Distributable Earnings and Run-Rate Distributable Earnings may differ from the methodologies employed by other companies and thus may not be comparable to the Distributable Earnings reported by other companies.
