CAUTIONARY STATEMENTS

 

The information contained in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q is not a complete description of our business or the risks associated with an investment in Arbor Realty Trust, Inc.  We urge you to carefully review and consider the various disclosures made by us in this report.

 

This report contains certain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such forward-looking statements relate to, among other things, the operating performance of our investments and financing needs. Forward-looking statements are generally identifiable by use of forward-looking terminology such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “potential,” “intend,” “expect,” “seek,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “believe,” “could,” “project,” “predict,” “continue” or other similar words or expressions.  Forward-looking statements are based on certain assumptions, discuss future expectations, describe future plans and strategies, contain projections of results of operations or of financial condition or state other forward-looking information.  Our ability to predict results or the actual effect of future plans or strategies is inherently uncertain.  Although we believe that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, our actual results and performance could differ materially from those set forth in the forward-looking statements.  These forward-looking statements involve risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results in future periods to differ materially from forecasted results.  Factors that could have a material adverse effect on our operations and future prospects include, but are not limited to, changes in economic conditions generally and the real estate market specifically; adverse changes in the financing markets we access affecting our ability to finance our loan and investment portfolio; changes in interest rates; the quality and size of the investment pipeline and the rate at which we can invest our cash; impairments in the value of the collateral underlying our loans and investments; legislative/regulatory changes; the availability and cost of capital for future investments; competition; and other risks detailed from time to time in our SEC reports. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on any of these forward-looking statements, which reflect management’s views as of the date of this report.  The factors noted above could cause our actual results to differ significantly from those contained in any forward-looking statement.  For a discussion of our critical accounting policies, see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of Arbor Realty Trust, Inc. and Subsidiaries — Significant Accounting Estimates and Critical Accounting Policies” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.

 

Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements.  We are under no duty to update any of the forward-looking statements after the date of this report to conform these statements to actual results.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

March 31, 2014

 

Note 1 —Description of Business

 

Arbor Realty Trust, Inc. (the “Company”) is a Maryland corporation that was formed in June 2003 to invest in a diversified portfolio of multi-family and commercial real estate related assets, primarily consisting of bridge loans, mezzanine loans, junior participating interests in first mortgage loans, and preferred and direct equity.  The Company may also directly acquire real property and invest in real estate-related notes and certain mortgage-related securities.  The Company conducts substantially all of its operations through its operating partnership, Arbor Realty Limited Partnership (“ARLP”), and ARLP’s wholly-owned subsidiaries.  The Company is externally managed and advised by Arbor Commercial Mortgage, LLC (“ACM”).

 

The Company organizes and conducts its operations to qualify as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) for federal income tax purposes.  A REIT is generally not subject to federal income tax on its REIT-taxable income distributed to its stockholders, provided that it distributes at least 90% of its REIT-taxable income and meets certain other requirements.  Certain assets of the Company that produce non-qualifying income are owned by its taxable REIT subsidiaries, the income of which is subject to federal and state income taxes.

 

The Company’s charter provides for the issuance of up to 500 million shares of common stock, with a par value of $0.01 per share, and 100 million shares of preferred stock, with a par value of $0.01 per share.

 

Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

 

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”), for interim financial statements and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X.  Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the consolidated financial statements prepared under GAAP have been condensed or omitted.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows have been included and are of a normal and recurring nature. The operating results presented for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the entire year. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).

 

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company, its wholly owned subsidiaries, partnerships or other joint ventures in which the Company owns a voting interest of greater than 50 percent, and Variable Interest Entities (“VIEs”) of which the Company is the primary beneficiary.  VIEs are defined as entities in which equity investors do not have the characteristics of a controlling financial interest or do not have sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties.  A VIE is required to be consolidated by its primary beneficiary, which is the party that (i) has the power to control the activities that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance and (ii) has the obligation to absorb losses of the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE.  Current accounting guidance requires the Company to present a) assets of a consolidated VIE that can be used only to settle obligations of the consolidated VIE, and b) liabilities of a consolidated VIE for which creditors (or beneficial interest holders) do not have recourse to the general credit of the primary beneficiary.  As a result of this guidance, the Company has separately disclosed parenthetically the assets and liabilities of its three collateralized debt obligation (“CDO”) and two collateralized loan obligation (“CLO”) subsidiaries on its Consolidated Balance Sheets.  Entities in which the Company has significant influence are accounted for primarily under the equity method.

 

The Company is organized and conducts its operations to qualify as a REIT for federal income tax purposes.  As a REIT, the Company is generally not subject to federal income tax on its REIT—taxable income that it distributes to its stockholders, provided that it distributes at least 90% of its REIT—taxable income and meets certain other requirements.  Also, under current federal tax law, the income and the tax on such income attributable to

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

certain debt extinguishment transactions realized in 2009 or 2010 have been deferred to future periods at the Company’s election.  As of March 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company was in compliance with all REIT requirements and, therefore, has not provided for income tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013.  Certain of the Company’s assets that produce non-qualifying income are owned by its taxable REIT subsidiaries, the income of which is subject to federal and state income taxes.  During the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company did not record any provision for income taxes for these taxable REIT subsidiaries.

 

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that could materially affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to current period presentation.  During the third quarter of 2013, the Company classified a real estate investment that was part of a portfolio of multifamily properties as held-for-sale, resulting in reclassifications of property operating activity and related depreciation to discontinued operations for all prior periods presented.

 

Significant Accounting Policies

 

As of March 31, 2014, the Company’s significant accounting policies, which are detailed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013, have not changed materially.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

In April 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued updated guidance that changes the criteria for determining which disposals can be presented as discontinued operations and modifies related disclosure requirements.  Under the new guidance, a discontinued operation is defined as a disposal of a component or group of components that is disposed of or is classified as held for sale and represents a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on an entity’s operations and financial results.  The guidance is effective prospectively as of the first quarter of 2015, with early adoption permitted for new disposals or new classifications as held-for-sale.  The Company early adopted this new guidance in the first quarter of 2014 and it did not have a material effect on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

 

In July 2013, the FASB issued updated guidance that resolves the diversity in practice for the presentation of an unrecognized tax benefit when a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward exists.  This new accounting guidance requires the netting of unrecognized tax benefits against a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward that would apply in settlement of an uncertain tax position.  The guidance was effective as of the first quarter of 2014 and its adoption did not have a material effect on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

(1)          “Weighted Average Pay Rate” is a weighted average, based on the unpaid principal balances of each loan in the Company’s portfolio, of the interest rate that is required to be paid monthly as stated in the individual loan agreements.  Certain loans and investments that require an additional rate of interest “Accrual Rate” to be paid at the maturity are not included in the weighted average pay rate as shown in the table.

(2)          The “First Dollar LTV Ratio” is calculated by comparing the total of the Company’s senior most dollar and all senior lien positions within the capital stack to the fair value of the underlying collateral to determine the point at which the Company will absorb a total loss of its position.

(3)          The “Last Dollar LTV Ratio” is calculated by comparing the total of the carrying value of the Company’s loan and all senior lien positions within the capital stack to the fair value of the underlying collateral to determine the point at which the Company will initially absorb a loss.

 

Concentration of Credit Risk

 

The Company operates in one portfolio segment, commercial mortgage loans and investments.  Commercial mortgage loans and investments can potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk.  The Company is subject to concentration risk in that, as of March 31, 2014, the unpaid principal balance related to 29 loans with five different borrowers represented approximately 26% of total assets.  At December 31, 2013, the unpaid principal balance related to 28 loans with five different borrowers represented approximately 30% of total assets.  The Company measures its relative loss position for its mezzanine loans, junior participation loans, and preferred equity investments by determining the point where the Company will be exposed to losses based on its position in the capital stack as compared to the fair value of the underlying collateral.  The Company determines its loss position on both a first dollar loan-to-value (“LTV”) and a last dollar LTV basis.  First dollar LTV is calculated by comparing the total of the Company’s senior most dollar and all senior lien positions within the capital stack to the fair value of the underlying collateral to determine the point at which the Company will absorb a total loss of its

position.  Last dollar LTV is calculated by comparing the total of the carrying value of the Company’s loan and all senior lien positions within the capital stack to the fair value of the underlying collateral to determine the point at which the Company will initially absorb a loss.

 

The Company assigns a credit risk rating to each loan and investment.  Individual ratings range from one to five, with one being the lowest risk and five being the highest.  Each credit risk rating has benchmark guidelines that pertain to debt-service coverage ratios, LTV ratios, borrower strength, asset quality, and funded cash reserves.  Other factors such as guarantees, market strength, remaining loan term, and borrower equity are also reviewed and factored into determining the credit risk rating assigned to each loan.  This metric provides a helpful snapshot of portfolio quality and credit risk.  Given the Company’s asset management approach, however, the risk rating process does not result in differing levels of diligence contingent upon credit rating.  That is because all portfolio assets are subject to the level of scrutiny and ongoing analysis consistent with that of a ‘high-risk” loan.  All assets are subject to, at minimum, a thorough quarterly financial evaluation in which historical operating performance is reviewed, and forward-looking projections are created.  Generally speaking, given the Company’s typical loan and investment profile, a risk rating of three suggests that the Company expects the loan to make both principal and interest payments according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement, and is not considered impaired.  A risk rating of four indicates the Company anticipates that the loan will require a modification of some kind.  A risk rating of five indicates the Company expects the loan to underperform over its term, and that there could be loss of interest and/or principal.  Ratings of 3.5 and 4.5 generally indicate loans that have characteristics of both the immediately higher and lower classifications.  Further, while the above are the primary guidelines used in determining a certain risk rating, subjective items such as borrower strength, condition of the market of the underlying collateral, additional collateral or other credit enhancements, or loan terms, may result in a rating that is higher or lower than might be indicated by any risk rating matrix.

 

As a result of the loan review process at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company identified loans and investments that it considers higher-risk loans that had a carrying value, before loan loss reserves, of approximately $188.1 million and $187.5 million, respectively, and a weighted average last dollar LTV ratio of 92% and 93%, respectively.

 

A summary of the loan portfolio’s weighted average internal risk ratings and LTV ratios by asset class as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 is as follows:

Geographic Concentration Risk

 

As of March 31, 2014, 31% of the outstanding balance of the Company’s loans and investments portfolio had underlying properties in New York.  As of December 31, 2013, 36% and 10% of the outstanding balance of the Company’s loans and investments portfolio had underlying properties in New York and Texas, respectively.

 

Impaired Loans and Allowance for Loan Losses

 

The Company performs an evaluation of the loan portfolio quarterly to assess the performance of its loans and whether a reserve for impairment should be recorded.  The Company considers a loan impaired when, based upon current information and events, it is probable that it will be unable to collect all amounts due for both principal and interest according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement.

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2014, the Company determined that the fair value of the underlying collateral securing an impaired loan with a carrying value of $4.8 million was less than the net carrying value of the loan, resulting in a $1.0 million provision for loan loss.  In addition, during the three months ended March 31, 2014, the Company recorded $0.9 million of net recoveries of previously recorded loan loss reserves resulting in a provision for loan losses, net of recoveries, of $0.1 million.  The $1.0 million of loan loss reserve recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2014 was attributable to a loan on which the Company had previously recorded reserves and is now fully reserved.

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2013, the Company determined that the fair value of the underlying collateral securing two impaired loans with an aggregate carrying value of $13.5 million was less than the net carrying value of the loans, resulting in a $2.5 million provision for loan losses.  In addition, during the three months ended March 31, 2013, the Company recorded less than $0.1 million of net recoveries of previously recorded loan loss reserves resulting in a provision for loan losses, net of recoveries, of $2.5 million.  The $2.5 million of loan loss reserves recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2013 was attributable to two loans on which the Company had not previously recorded reserves.

 

There were no loans for which the value of the collateral securing the loan was less than the carrying value of the loan for which the Company had not recorded a provision for loan loss as of March 31, 2014 and 2013.

 

At March 31, 2014, the Company had a total of 14 loans with an aggregate carrying value, before loan loss reserves, of $201.4 million for which impairment reserves have been recorded.  At December 31, 2013, the Company had a total of 15 loans with an aggregate carrying value, before loan loss reserves, of $207.5 million for which impairment reserves have been recorded.  Additionally, the Company has seven loans with an unpaid principal balance totaling approximately $111.6 million at March 31, 2014, which mature in September 2014, that are collateralized by a land development project.  The loans do not carry a pay rate of interest, but four of the loans with an unpaid principal balance totaling approximately $101.9 million entitle the Company to a weighted average accrual rate of interest of approximately 9.60%.  During the fourth quarter of 2010, the Company suspended the recording of the accrual rate of interest on these loans, as these loans were impaired and management deemed the collection of this interest to be doubtful.  The Company has recorded cumulative allowances for loan losses of $43.7 million related to these loans as of March 31, 2014.  The loans are subject to certain risks associated with a development project including, but not limited to, availability of construction financing, increases in projected construction costs, demand for the development’s outputs upon completion of the project, and litigation risk.  Additionally, these loans were not classified as non-performing as the borrower is in compliance with all of the terms and conditions of the loans.

 

During the quarter ended March 31, 2014, the Company wrote off a mezzanine loan with a carrying value of $6.5 million and recorded a charge-off to previously recorded reserves of $5.7 million, and recorded a cash recovery of $0.8 million.

 

During the quarter ended March 31, 2013, the Company wrote off a bridge loan, two mezzanine loans and a junior participation loan with a total carrying value of $18.5 million and recorded a charge-off to previously recorded reserves of $18.5 million as well as a cash recovery of less than $0.1 million.

The Company owns a CMBS investment, purchased at a premium in 2010 for $2.1 million, which is collateralized by a portfolio of hotel properties.  The CMBS investment bears interest at a spread of 89 basis points over LIBOR, has a stated maturity of 6.2 years, but has an estimated life of 0.2 years based on the extended maturity of the underlying asset and a fair value of $2.1 million at both March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013.

 

The Company owns 2,939,465 shares of common stock of CV Holdings, Inc., formerly Realty Finance Corporation, a commercial real estate specialty finance company, which had a fair value of approximately $0.7 million at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013.

 

Available-for-sale securities are carried at their estimated fair value with unrealized gains and losses reported in accumulated other comprehensive loss.  The Company evaluates these securities periodically to determine whether a decline in their value is other-than-temporary, though such a determination is not intended to indicate a permanent decline in value.  The Company’s evaluation is based on its assessment of cash flows, which is supplemented by third-party research reports, internal review of the underlying assets securing the investments, levels of subordination and the ratings of the securities and the underlying collateral.  The Company’s estimation of cash flows expected to be generated by the securities portfolio is based upon an internal review of the underlying mortgage loans securing the investments both on an absolute basis and compared to the Company’s initial underwriting for each investment and efforts are supplemented by third party research reports, third party market assessments and dialogue with market participants.  Management closely monitors market conditions on which it bases such decisions.  No impairment was recorded on the Company’s available-for-sale securities for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013.

 

At December 31, 2013, the Company owned two RMBS investments with deteriorated credit quality that had a total aggregate carrying value of $25.8 million. These investments were sold in the first quarter of 2014 for $25.9 million.

 

The weighted average yield on the Company’s CMBS and RMBS investments based on their face values was 2.25% and 4.49%, including the amortization of premium and the accretion of discount, for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
