We also made meaningful progress this quarter, including completing the transition of all BSP CRE loans to be serviced internally by NewPoint, a significant step in our integration. With a growing portfolio, strong liquidity, and multiple avenues for deployment, we believe the Company is increasingly well positioned to drive more durable earnings and long-term value."

    Core portfolio: For the quarter ended March 31, 2026, the Company closed $467.9 million of new loan commitments, funded $496.3 million of principal balance on new and existing loans, and received loan repayments of $322.5 million.

    Book Value

    As of March 31, 2026, book value was $14.18 per diluted common share on a fully converted basis(1).

    Share Repurchase Program

    During the quarter ended March 31, 2026, the Company repurchased 4,361,596 shares of common stock at an average price of $9.13 per share for an aggregate of $39.8 million, which represents a $0.24 per share increase to book value. Subsequent to quarter end, the Board of Directors reauthorized the Company's share repurchase program, again providing $50.0 million available for future share repurchases through December 31, 2026.

    Subsequent Events

    On April 1, 2026, the Company sold a real estate owned, held for sale property located in Raleigh, NC for a sale price of $76.6 million, excluding transaction costs. The Company's carrying value in the property immediately prior to the sale was $75.7 million. The sale was financed with a loan originated by the Company.

    On April 15, 2026, a consolidated subsidiary of the Company, BSPRT 2026-FL13 Issuer, LLC, closed an approximately $880.4 million commercial real estate mortgage securitization transaction, and sold approximately $778.1 million of the securitization's notes in a private placement.

    Distributable Earnings and Distributable Earnings to Common

    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 and derivatives, including CECL reserves and impairments, net of realized gains and losses, as described further below, (iii) non-cash equity compensation expense, (iv) depreciation and amortization, (v) subordinated performance fee accruals/(reversal), (vi) realized gains and losses on debt extinguishment and CLO calls, (vii) non-cash income from mortgage servicing rights, and (viii) certain other non-cash items. Distributable Earnings before realized losses, a non-GAAP measure, presents Distributable Earnings gross of realized gain (loss) on debt extinguishment and realized gain (loss) on loans and real estate owned. Further, Distributable Earnings to Common, a non-GAAP measure, presents Distributable Earnings net of (x) perpetual preferred stock dividend payments and (y) non-controlling interests in joint ventures.

    As noted above, we exclude unrealized gains and losses on loans and other investments, including CECL reserves and impairments, from our calculation of Distributable Earnings and include realized gains and losses. The nature of these adjustments is described more fully in the footnotes to our reconciliation tables. GAAP loan loss reserves and any property impairment losses have been excluded from Distributable Earnings consistent with other unrealized losses pursuant to our existing definition of Distributable Earnings. We expect to only recognize such potential credit or property impairment losses in Distributable Earnings if and when such amounts are deemed nonrecoverable upon a realization event. This is generally at the time a loan is repaid, or in the case of a foreclosure or other property, when the underlying asset is sold. Amounts may also be deemed non-recoverable if, in our determination, it is nearly certain the carrying amounts will not be collected or realized. The realized loss amount reflected in Distributable Earnings will generally equal the difference between the cash received and the Distributable Earnings basis of the asset. The timing of any such loss realization in our Distributable Earnings may differ materially from the timing of the corresponding loss reserves, charge-offs or impairments in our consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP.

    The Company believes that Distributable Earnings, Distributable Earnings before realized losses and Distributable Earnings to Common provide meaningful information to consider in addition to the disclosed GAAP results. The Company believes Distributable Earnings, Distributable Earnings before realized losses and Distributable Earnings to Common are useful financial metrics for existing and potential future holders of its common stock as historically, over time, Distributable Earnings to Common has been an indicator of common 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 to Common 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.

    Distributable Earnings, Distributable Earnings before realized losses and Distributable Earnings to Common 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, Distributable Earnings before realized losses and Distributable Earnings to Common 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 Distributable Earnings to Common included at the end of this release for further information.
