Management Overview Jason Serrano, Chief Executive Officer, commented: "During 2024, the Company’s approach to earnings growth focused on strategically deploying excess liquidity to expand the balance sheet, with a goal of enhancing recurring income. Accordingly, the Company’s portfolio grew by $2.2 billion, or 44%, driven primarily by acquisitions in liquid agency bond markets and higher-spread bridge loan markets. As a result, adjusted interest income rose 11% for the fourth quarter, contributing to year-over-year growth in adjusted interest income of 60%. The significant portfolio restructuring that began in 2022 and continued through this past year has provided us with an exciting opportunity to optimize returns and produce durable earnings in the years ahead."

A reconciliation of the Company's non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP measure is included below in "Reconciliation of Financial Information." Reconciliation of Financial Information Non-GAAP Financial Measures In addition to the results presented in accordance with GAAP, this press release includes certain non-GAAP financial measures, including adjusted interest income, adjusted interest expense, adjusted net interest income (loss), yield on average interest earning assets, average financing cost, net interest spread, undepreciated (loss) earnings and adjusted book value per common share. Our management team believes that these non-GAAP financial measures, when considered with our GAAP financial statements, provide supplemental information useful for investors as it enables them to evaluate our current performance and trends using the metrics that management uses to operate our business. Our presentation of non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similarly-titled measures of other companies, who may use different calculations. 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. Our GAAP financial results and the reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures included in this press release to the most directly comparable financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP should be carefully evaluated. Adjusted Net Interest Income (Loss) and Net Interest Spread Financial results for the Company during a given period include the net interest income earned on our investment portfolio of residential loans, investment securities and preferred equity investments and mezzanine loans, where the risks and payment characteristics are equivalent to and accounted for as loans (collectively, our “interest earning assets”). Adjusted net interest income (loss) and net interest spread (both supplemental non-GAAP financial measures) are impacted by factors such as our cost of financing, including our hedging costs, and the interest rate that our investments bear. Furthermore, the amount of premium or discount paid on purchased investments and the prepayment rates on investments will impact adjusted net interest income (loss) as such factors will be amortized over the expected term of such investments. We provide the following non-GAAP financial measures, in total and by investment category, for the respective periods: adjusted interest income – calculated as our GAAP interest income reduced by the interest expense recognized on Consolidated SLST CDOs,adjusted interest expense – calculated as our GAAP interest expense reduced by the interest expense recognized on Consolidated SLST CDOs and adjusted to include the net interest component of interest rate swaps,adjusted net interest income (loss) – calculated by subtracting adjusted interest expense from adjusted interest income,yield on average interest earning assets – calculated as the quotient of our adjusted interest income and our average interest earning assets and excludes all Consolidated SLST assets other than those securities owned by the Company,average financing cost – calculated as the quotient of our adjusted interest expense and the average outstanding balance of our interest bearing liabilities, excluding Consolidated SLST CDOs and mortgages payable on real estate, andnet interest spread – calculated as the difference between our yield on average interest earning assets and our average financing cost. These measures remove the impact of Consolidated SLST that we consolidate in accordance with GAAP and include the net interest component of interest rate swaps utilized to hedge the variable cash flows associated with our variable-rate borrowings, which is included in gains (losses) on derivative instruments, net in the Company's consolidated statements of operations. With respect to Consolidated SLST, we only include the interest income earned by the Consolidated SLST securities that are actually owned by the Company as the Company only receives income or absorbs losses related to the Consolidated SLST securities actually owned by the Company. We include the net interest component of interest rate swaps in these measures to more fully represent the cost of our financing strategy. We provide the non-GAAP financial measures listed above because we believe these non-GAAP financial measures provide investors and management with additional detail and enhance their understanding of our interest earning asset yields, in total and by investment category, relative to the cost of our financing and the underlying trends within our portfolio of interest earning assets. In addition to the foregoing, our management team uses these measures to assess, among other things, the performance of our interest earning assets in total and by asset, possible cash flows from our interest earning assets in total and by asset, our ability to finance or borrow against the asset and the terms of such financing and the composition of our portfolio of interest earning assets, including acquisition and disposition determinations.

Undepreciated (Loss) Earnings Undepreciated (loss) earnings is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure defined as GAAP net (loss) income attributable to Company's common stockholders excluding the Company's share in depreciation expense and lease intangible amortization expense, if any, related to operating real estate, net for which an impairment has not been recognized. By excluding these non-cash adjustments from our operating results, we believe that the presentation of undepreciated (loss) earnings provides a consistent measure of our operating performance and useful information to investors to evaluate the effective net return on our portfolio. In addition, we believe that presenting undepreciated (loss) earnings enables our investors to measure, evaluate, and compare our operating performance to that of our peers. A reconciliation of net (loss) income attributable to Company's common stockholders to undepreciated (loss) earnings for the respective periods ended is presented below (amounts in thousands, except per share data): For the Three Months Ended December 31, 2024 September 30, 2024 June 30, 2024 March 31, 2024 December 31, 2023Net (loss) income attributable to Company's common stockholders$(41,828) $32,410 $(26,028) $(68,340) $31,465Add: Depreciation expense on operating real estate 2,028 2,531 3,698 6,326 2,232Undepreciated (loss) earnings$(39,800) $34,941 $(22,330) $(62,014) $33,697 Weighted average shares outstanding - basic 90,579 90,582 90,989 91,117 90,683Undepreciated (loss) earnings per common share$(0.44) $0.39 $(0.25) $(0.68) $0.37 Adjusted Book Value Per Common Share Adjusted book value per common share is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure calculated by making the following adjustments to GAAP book value: (i) exclude the Company's share of cumulative depreciation and lease intangible amortization expenses related to real estate held at the end of the period for which an impairment has not been recognized, (ii) exclude the cumulative adjustment of redeemable non-controlling interests to estimated redemption value and (iii) adjust our amortized cost liabilities that finance our investment portfolio to fair value. Our rental property portfolio includes fee simple interests in single-family rental homes and joint venture equity interests in multi-family properties owned by Consolidated Real Estate VIEs. By excluding our share of cumulative non-cash depreciation and amortization expenses related to real estate held at the end of the period for which an impairment has not been recognized, adjusted book value reflects the value, at their undepreciated basis, of our single-family rental properties and joint venture equity investments that the Company has determined to be recoverable at the end of the period. Additionally, in connection with third party ownership of certain of the non-controlling interests in certain of the Consolidated Real Estate VIEs, we record redeemable non-controlling interests as mezzanine equity on our consolidated balance sheets. The holders of the redeemable non-controlling interests may elect to sell their ownership interests to us at fair value once a year, subject to annual minimum and maximum amount limitations, resulting in an adjustment of the redeemable non-controlling interests to fair value that is accounted for by us as an equity transaction in accordance with GAAP. A key component of the estimation of fair value of the redeemable non-controlling interests is the estimated fair value of the multi-family apartment properties held by the applicable Consolidated Real Estate VIEs. However, because the corresponding real estate assets are not reported at fair value and thus not adjusted to reflect unrealized gains or losses in our consolidated financial statements, the cumulative adjustment of the redeemable non-controlling interests to fair value directly affects our GAAP book value. By excluding the cumulative adjustment of redeemable non-controlling interests to estimated redemption value, adjusted book value more closely aligns the accounting treatment applied to these real estate assets and reflects our joint venture equity investment at its undepreciated basis. The substantial majority of our remaining assets are financial or similar instruments that are carried at fair value in accordance with the fair value option in our consolidated financial statements. However, unlike our use of the fair value option for the assets in our investment portfolio, certain CDOs issued by our residential loan securitizations, certain senior unsecured notes and subordinated debentures that finance our investment portfolio assets are carried at amortized cost in our consolidated financial statements. By adjusting these financing instruments to fair value, adjusted book value reflects the Company's net equity in investments on a comparable fair value basis. We believe that the presentation of adjusted book value per common share provides a useful measure for investors and us as it provides a consistent measure of our value, allows management to effectively consider our financial position and facilitates the comparison of our financial performance to that of our peers. A reconciliation of GAAP book value to adjusted book value and calculation of adjusted book value per common share as of the dates indicated is presented below (amounts in thousands, except per share data): December 31, 2024 September 30, 2024 June 30, 2024 March 31, 2024 December 31, 2023Company's stockholders' equity$1,394,720 $1,444,147 $1,431,910 $1,485,256 $1,579,612 Preferred stock liquidation preference (554,110) (554,110) (554,110) (554,110) (554,110)GAAP book value 840,610 890,037 877,800 931,146 1,025,502 Add: Cumulative depreciation expense on real estate(1) 20,837 19,180 21,692 24,451 21,801 Cumulative amortization of lease intangibles related to real estate(1) 4,620 4,903 11,078 13,000 14,897 Cumulative adjustment of redeemable non-controlling interest to estimated redemption value 40,675 48,282 44,053 36,489 30,062 Adjustment of amortized cost liabilities to fair value 30,619 21,961 43,475 44,590 55,271 Adjusted book value$937,361 $984,363 $998,098 $1,049,676 $1,147,533 Common shares outstanding 90,575 90,579 90,592 91,231 90,675 GAAP book value per common share(2)$9.28 $9.83 $9.69 $10.21 $11.31 Adjusted book value per common share(3)$10.35 $10.87 $11.02 $11.51 $12.66 (1)Represents cumulative adjustments for the Company's share of depreciation expense and amortization of lease intangibles related to real estate held as of the end of the period presented for which an impairment has not been recognized.(2)GAAP book value per common share is calculated using the GAAP book value and the common shares outstanding for the periods indicated.(3)Adjusted book value per common share is calculated using the adjusted book value and the common shares outstanding for the periods indicated. Equity Investments in Multi-Family Entities We own joint venture equity investments in entities that own multi-family properties. We determined that these joint venture entities are VIEs and that we are the primary beneficiary of all but two of these VIEs, resulting in consolidation of the VIEs where we are the primary beneficiary, including their assets, liabilities, income and expenses, in our consolidated financial statements with non-controlling interests for the third-party ownership of the joint ventures' membership interests. With respect to the two additional joint venture equity investments for which we determined that we are not the primary beneficiary, we record our equity investments at fair value. In September 2022, the Company announced a repositioning of its business through the opportunistic disposition over time of the Company's joint venture equity investments in multi-family properties and reallocation of its capital away from such assets to its targeted assets. Accordingly, as of December 31, 2024, the Company determined that certain joint venture equity investments meet the criteria to be classified as held for sale and the assets and liabilities of the respective Consolidated VIEs are reported in assets and liabilities of disposal group held for sale. We also own a preferred equity investment in a VIE that owns a multi-family property and for which, as of December 31, 2024, the Company is the primary beneficiary, resulting in consolidation of the assets, liabilities, income and expenses of the VIE in our consolidated financial statements with a non-controlling interest for the third-party ownership of the VIE's membership interests. A reconciliation of our net equity investments in consolidated multi-family properties and disposal group held for sale to our consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2024 is shown below (dollar amounts in thousands): Cash and cash equivalents $4,151 Real estate, net 481,161 Assets of disposal group held for sale 118,613 Other assets 16,696 Total assets $620,621 Mortgages payable on real estate, net $366,606 Liabilities of disposal group held for sale 97,065 Other liabilities 10,621 Total liabilities $474,292 Redeemable non-controlling interest in Consolidated VIEs $12,359 Less: Cumulative adjustment of redeemable non-controlling interest to estimated redemption value (40,675)Non-controlling interest in Consolidated VIEs 1,887 Non-controlling interest in disposal group held for sale 2,044 Net equity investment(1) $170,714 (1)The Company's net equity investment as of December 31, 2024 consists of $151.2 million of net equity investments in consolidated multi-family properties and $19.5 million of net equity investments in disposal group held for sale.
