Key Financial Metrics

Material Changes vs. Prior Period

• Net Income Decline: Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2026, decreased by 51.2% to $3.52 million compared to $7.21 million in the prior year period. The Q2 2026 quarter specifically resulted in a net loss of $0.87 million, a reversal from the $4.39 million net income in Q1 2026.
• Provision for Credit Losses: The most significant driver of the income decline was a sharp increase in the provision for credit losses. The provision rose to $5.53 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to $0.76 million in the same period in 2025. This increase is primarily attributed to higher allowances for "4" rated office loans with near-term maturities due to lower estimated collateral values.
• Portfolio Growth: Despite the earnings pressure, the loan portfolio principal balance grew to $722.33 million (27 loans) from $632.83 million (24 loans) in the prior year period, reflecting active origination of $128.44 million net of repayments.
• Liquidity Position: Cash and cash equivalents decreased by $53.5 million to $69.98 million, driven by net cash used in investing activities ($32.3 million) and financing activities ($30.7 million), partially offset by operating cash flow of $9.5 million.

Outlook, Risks, and Management Commentary

• Market Conditions: Management notes that CRE capital markets improved in Q2 2026, though geopolitical uncertainty and inflationary pressures are causing volatility in Treasury yields. Financing activity remains robust but is weighted toward refinancings rather than acquisitions.
• Interest Rate Environment: The Federal Reserve held rates steady in Q2 2026. The company benefits from floating-rate assets and liabilities, with a weighted average floor of 2.96% on loans. As of June 30, 2026, SOFR was 3.65%, and six loans had active interest rate floors.
• Debt Maturities: Significant debt maturities are concentrated in the near term. Approximately $249.1 million of secured financing facilities are due in 2026. Management believes it is probable they will extend these facilities prior to maturity based on historical performance.
• Risk Factors: Key risks include borrower credit risk, specifically in the office sector; prepayment risk; and the ability to refinance debt. The company has no past due or nonaccrual loans as of June 30, 2026.
• Distributions: The company declared a quarterly distribution of $0.28 per share on July 9, 2026, payable in August 2026. Distributable Earnings for the six months ended June 30, 2026, were $10.36 million ($0.46 per share).

Investor Verification Checklist

• Credit Loss Drivers: Verify the specific collateral valuations and risk ratings of the "4" rated office loans driving the $5.5 million increase in the allowance for credit losses.
• Debt Extension Strategy: Confirm the status of refinancing or extension negotiations for the $249 million in debt maturing in 2026, particularly the Citibank facility maturing in September 2026.
• Office Sector Exposure: Review the concentration of office loans (19% of portfolio) and the impact of the recent Plano, TX loan extension on future cash flows.
• Liquidity Runway: Assess whether the $70 million cash balance and $393 million in unused borrowing capacity are sufficient to fund unfunded loan commitments ($43 million) and upcoming debt maturities without further equity raises.
• Non-GAAP Measures: Compare GAAP net loss in Q2 2026 against Distributable Earnings ($5.05 million) to understand the impact of non-cash credit provisions on reported earnings.
