Financial and operating results
| Metric | Q2 2023 | Q2 2022 | Six months 2023 | Six months 2022 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Total income | $12.0 | $9.4 | $21.5 | $17.0 |
| Net interest income | $6.6 | $5.4 | $13.2 | $11.2 |
| Net income (loss) | $(15.3) | $3.3 | $(10.7) | $5.6 |

- Q2 interest income rose to $17.3 million from $9.0 million, but interest expense also increased to $10.7 million from $3.6 million. The reported net interest spread narrowed to 1.1% from 2.0%; average asset yield was 8.6% and average financing cost 7.5%.
- Results included a $13.4 million provision for credit losses and a $6.9 million impairment charge on the Renaissance O’Hare hotel. Excluding these items, reported net income would have been materially different; the filing does not provide an adjusted GAAP earnings figure.
- Six-month operating cash flow was $6.3 million, versus $7.8 million a year earlier. Investing activities provided $53.4 million, principally reflecting loan repayments; financing activities used $44.5 million. Cash increased $15.2 million to $44.6 million.
Balance sheet, portfolio and liquidity
- At June 30, total assets were $854.4 million, total liabilities $600.7 million and stockholders’ equity $253.6 million. Cash was $44.6 million.
- Commercial mortgage loans had $792.0 million principal balance across 40 loans and a $772.2 million carrying value, net of a $21.3 million loan-loss allowance. The portfolio’s weighted-average interest rate was 8.7%, with 1.1 years to contractual maturity excluding extensions; all-in yield was reported as 8.6%.
- Credit-loss allowances increased substantially following adoption of the CECL standard and updated estimates. The company recorded $12.965 million of credit-loss provision in the first half; the allowance for funded loans and unfunded commitments totaled $21.675 million at period-end. Management cited collateral-value declines, particularly for office loans and one multifamily loan, despite the affected loans being current on debt service.
- Borrowings included $475.3 million under repurchase agreements and $18.4 million under a credit facility; loan participations sold were a further $78.4 million liability. Weighted-average borrowing cost for the first half was 7.2%, compared with 2.4% in 2022.
- Management reported $447 million of available borrowing-facility capacity and up to $20 million under revolving liquidity letters with the sponsor and sub-advisor, subject to their terms. The JPM repo facility was amended to a $526.1 million maximum and extended to May 2026, with two optional one-year extensions. The company reported covenant compliance at June 30.
- The hotel was classified as held for sale: assets of $32.4 million and associated liabilities of $21.5 million. A $12 million sale contract was signed, and the company expected closing in Q3 2023.
Material changes, distributions and outlook
- Compared with Q2 2022, total income and net interest income increased, but the company moved from profit to a substantial net loss, driven principally by credit-loss provisioning and the hotel impairment. For the first half, it likewise moved from net income to net loss.
- Loan principal declined from $844.5 million at year-end 2022 to $792.0 million at June 30, 2023, as repayments exceeded originations. The company originated no loans in Q2 and reported $66.1 million of first-half repayments versus $13.6 million of originations.
- The board suspended the common-stock repurchase program, primary share offering and distribution reinvestment plan in January/February 2023; they remain suspended unless reinstated. The company is evaluating strategic alternatives, with a potential institutional recapitalization among its current areas of focus; there is no assurance of a transaction.
- Common-stock distributions remained at a gross annualized rate of $1.25 per share, or $0.1042 monthly, through June 2023. The filing reports first-half common distributions of $6.294 million and operating cash flow of $6.344 million; preferred distributions were an additional $2.991 million. Series A preferred stock carries a 6.75% annual dividend rate.
- Management said higher rates raised both loan income and funding costs, and warned that the increase in income may not fully offset higher expense. Higher rates may also slow repayments or lead borrowers to seek extensions. No formal earnings or portfolio guidance was provided.
- Key risks include commercial real estate credit and collateral-value deterioration, interest-rate and refinancing exposure, reliance on secured financing and collateral availability, suspended share repurchases and the absence of a public trading market for common stock. The filing reports no known material legal proceedings and no material off-balance-sheet arrangements.
Important facts for investors to verify
- Track the CECL allowance, collateral valuations and performance of loans with higher risk ratings; the filing’s disclosures differ on the count of loans linked to certain specific reserves.
- Monitor the matured-in-default Hawaii office loan, its refinancing progress and any changes to its risk rating or reserve.
- Confirm whether the Renaissance O’Hare sale closed, the final proceeds and liabilities settled, and whether additional costs or impairments arose.
- Assess available liquidity and borrowing capacity alongside funding costs, collateral requirements, facility covenants and suspended fundraising and repurchase activity.
- Review the sustainability and source of distributions, especially given the GAAP loss and the distinction between common and preferred distributions and operating cash flow.
- Reconcile the JPM covenant ratio: the notes report 157% at June 30, while MD&A reports 155%; both state the company was in compliance.
