Granite Point Mortgage Trust Inc. Reports Second Quarter 2023 Financial Results and Post Quarter-End Update

Granite Point Mortgage Trust Inc. (NYSE: GPMT) ("GPMT," "Granite Point" or the "Company") today announced its financial results for the quarter ending June 30, 2023, and provided an update on its activities subsequent to quarter-end. A presentation containing second quarter 2023 financial results can be viewed at www.gpmtreit.com.

"GPMT had another strong operating quarter as our Pre-loss Distributable Earnings of $0.20 per share again covered our common stock dividend, despite our maintaining leverage levels considerably below our longer-term targets. We remain focused on protecting both sides of the balance sheet and emphasizing liquidity as we navigate this continuing uncertain environment," said Jack Taylor, President, CEO and Director of Granite Point Mortgage Trust Inc.

Second Quarter 2023 Activity

  • GAAP net income(1) of $1.4 million, or $0.03 per basic share, inclusive of a $(5.8) million, or $(0.11) per basic share, provision for credit losses.
  • Distributable Earnings(2) of $6.0 million, or $0.12 per basic share, inclusive of a write-off of $(4.2) million, or $(0.08) per basic share, related to REO transfer. Pre-loss Distributable Earnings of $10.2 million, or $0.20 per basic share.
  • Book value of $13.93 per common share, inclusive of $(2.61) per common share total CECL reserve.
  • Declared and paid a cash dividend of $0.20 per common share and a cash dividend of $0.4375 per share of its Series A preferred stock.
  • Funded $17.5 million in prior loan commitments and $0.5 million in protective advances.
  • Realized $206.2 million of total UPB in loan repayments, principal paydowns and amortization.
  • Portfolio of $3.3 billion in total commitments comprised of over 99% senior loans and 98% floating rate with a weighted average stabilized LTV of 62.9%(3) and a realized loan portfolio yield of 8.2%(4).
  • Weighted average portfolio risk rating of 2.7 at June 30, 2023.
  • Total CECL reserve of approx. $134.6 million, or 4.1% of total portfolio commitments, inclusive of $62.3 million of specific CECL reserves allocated to four collateral-dependent loans.
  • Acquired 100% ownership in an approx. 256,000 sq.ft. office property in Phoenix, AZ pursuant to a negotiated deed-in-lieu of foreclosure and recognized a write-off of approx. $(4.2) million, which had been previously reserved for through the allowance for credit losses. The $28.2 million loan previously collateralized by the property was on nonaccrual status and had a risk rating of "5".
  • Extended the maturities of the Morgan Stanley and the Goldman Sachs financing facilities to June 2024 and July 2024, respectively.
  • Ended the quarter with over $235 million in cash on hand and a total leverage ratio of 2.3x.

Post Quarter-End Update

  • So far in Q3 2023, funded $9.7 million on existing loan commitments and received $22.6 million in loan payoffs.
  • Extended the maturity of the J.P. Morgan financing facility to July 2025.

Represents Net Income Attributable to Common Stockholders.

(2)

Please see page 5 for Distributable Earnings definition and a reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP financial information.

(3)

Stabilized loan-to-value ratio (LTV) is calculated as the fully funded loan amount (plus any financing that is pari passu with or senior to such loan), including all contractually provided for future fundings, divided by the as stabilized value (as determined in conformance with USPAP) set forth in the original appraisal. As stabilized value may be based on certain assumptions, such as future construction completion, projected re-tenanting, payment of tenant improvement or leasing commissions allowances or free or abated rent periods, or increased tenant occupancy.

(4)

Yield includes net origination fees and exit fees, but does not include future fundings, and is expressed as a monthly equivalent yield. Portfolio yield includes nonaccrual loans.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to disclosing financial results calculated in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), this press release and the accompanying earnings presentation present non-GAAP financial measures, such as Distributable Earnings and Distributable Earnings per basic common share, that exclude certain items. Granite Point management believes that these non-GAAP measures enable it to perform meaningful comparisons of past, present and future results of the Company’s core business operations, and uses these measures to gain a comparative understanding of the Company’s operating performance and business trends. The non-GAAP financial measures presented by the Company represent supplemental information to assist investors in analyzing the results of its operations. However, because these measures are not calculated in accordance with GAAP, they should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, the financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. The Company’s GAAP financial results and the reconciliations from these results should be carefully evaluated. See the GAAP to non-GAAP reconciliation table on page 5 of this release.

(1) Beginning with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, and for all subsequent reporting periods ending on or after December 31, 2022, we have elected to present Distributable Earnings, a measure that is not prepared in accordance with GAAP, as a supplemental method of evaluating our operating performance. Distributable Earnings replaces our prior presentation of Core Earnings with no changes to the definition. In order to maintain our status as a REIT, we are required to distribute at least 90% of our taxable income as dividends. Distributable Earnings is intended to overtime serve as a general, though imperfect, proxy for our taxable income. As such, Distributable Earnings is considered a key indicator of our ability to generate sufficient income to pay our common dividends, which is the primary focus of income-oriented investors who comprise a meaningful segment of our stockholder base. We believe providing Distributable Earnings on a supplemental basis to our net income and cash flow from operating activities, as determined in accordance with GAAP, is helpful to stockholders in assessing the overall run-rate operating performance of our business.

We use Distributable Earnings to evaluate our performance, excluding the effects of certain transactions and GAAP adjustments we believe are not necessarily indicative of our current loan portfolio and operations. For reporting purposes, we define Distributable Earnings as net income attributable to our stockholders, computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding: (i) non-cash equity compensation expenses; (ii) depreciation and amortization; (iii) any unrealized gains (losses) or other similar non-cash items that are included in net income for the applicable reporting period (regardless of whether such items are included in other comprehensive income or in net income for such period); and (iv) certain non-cash items and one-time expenses. Distributable Earnings may also be adjusted from time to time for reporting purposes to exclude one-time events pursuant to changes in GAAP and certain other material non-cash income or expense items approved by a majority of our independent directors. The exclusion of depreciation and amortization from the calculation of Distributable Earnings only applies to debt investments related to real estate to the extent we foreclose upon the property or properties underlying such debt investments.

 

While Distributable Earnings excludes the impact of the unrealized non-cash current provision for credit losses, we expect to only recognize such potential credit losses in Distributable Earnings if and when such amounts are deemed non-recoverable. This is generally at the time a loan is repaid, or in the case of foreclosure, when the underlying asset is sold, but non-recoverability may also be concluded if, in our determination, it is nearly certain that all amounts due will not be collected. The realized loss amount reflected in Distributable Earnings will equal the difference between the cash received, or expected to be received, and the carrying value of the asset, and is reflective of our economic experience as it relates to the ultimate realization of the loan. During the three months ended June 30, 2023, we recorded provision for credit losses of $(5.8) million, which has been excluded from Distributable Earnings, consistent with other unrealized gains (losses) and other non-cash items pursuant to our existing policy for reporting Distributable Earnings referenced above. During the three months ended June 30, 2023, we recorded $0.6 million in depreciation and amortization on real estate owned and related intangibles, which has been excluded from Distributable Earnings consistent with other unrealized gains (losses) and other non-cash items pursuant to our existing policy for reporting Distributable Earnings referenced above.

 

Distributable Earnings does not represent net income or cash flow from operating activities and should not be considered as an alternative to GAAP net income, or an indication of our GAAP cash flows from operations, a measure of our liquidity, or an indication of funds available for our cash needs. In addition, our methodology for calculating Distributable Earnings may differ from the methodologies employed by other companies to calculate the same or similar supplemental performance measures, and, accordingly, our reported Distributable Earnings may not be comparable to the Distributable Earnings reported by other companies.
