Franklin BSP Realty Trust, Inc. Announces First Quarter 2022 Results

New York City, NY – May 4, 2022 – Franklin BSP Realty Trust, Inc. (NYSE: FBRT) (“FBRT” or the “Company”) today announced financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2022.

Reported GAAP net income (loss) of $(22.5) million or $(0.99) per diluted share for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to $(72.9) million or $(2.31) per diluted share for the three months ended December 31, 2021. Fully converted(1) GAAP net income (loss) of $(22.5) million or $(0.30) per diluted share for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to $(72.9) million or $(0.93) per diluted share for the three months ended December 31, 2021.

Reported Distributable Earnings before trading and derivative gain/loss on residential adjustable-rate mortgage securities (“Run-Rate Distributable Earnings”) (a non-GAAP financial measure) of $40.1 million or $0.39 per fully converted share(1) for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to $48.2 million or $0.52 per fully converted share(1) for the three months ended December 31, 2021.

First Quarter 2022 Summary

·Produced a first quarter GAAP ROE of (7.2)% and a Run-Rate Distributable Earnings ROE of 9.3%

·Book value of $16.50 per fully converted share(1)

·Declared first quarter common stock cash dividend of $0.355 representing an 8.6% yield on book value

·Core portfolio ended the quarter at $4.6 billion of principal balance

·Fair market value of the residential adjustable-rate mortgage (“ARM”) portfolio was $1.9 billion compared to $4.6 billion at December 31, 2021 and was further reduced to $649 million as of May 3, 2022

·Closed a $1.2 billion managed Commercial Real Estate Collateralized Loan Obligation (“FL8 CRE CLO”) with a two-year re-investment period, initial advance rate of 80% and a weighted average interest rate of SOFR+1.72% before transaction costs

Richard Byrne, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of FBRT, said, “Our core commercial real estate strategy performed well during the quarter producing a Run-Rate Distributable Earnings ROE of 9.3%. However, market conditions created a challenging backdrop during the first quarter for our residential ARM assets. We made significant progress in decreasing the ARM portfolio with a $2.6 billion principal reduction, bringing the portfolio to $1.9 billion at quarter-end. It was further reduced to approximately $649 million as of May 3, 2022, representing a 91% decline since we took over the portfolio. We are excited that the transition of Capstead’s residential ARM assets into our higher yielding commercial real estate lending opportunities is nearly complete and that our future results will be more indicative of our core strategy.”

Further commenting on our results, Michael Comparato, Head of Commercial Real Estate of BSP, added, “Our originations grew at a healthy rate during the first quarter, which is supportive of our outlook for the year. Additionally, our pipeline remains robust heading into the second quarter. We will continue to operate with flexibility to take advantage of attractive investment opportunities as they arise.”

Portfolio and Investment Activity

Core portfolio: For the quarter ended March 31, 2022, we closed $603 million of loan commitments, funded $640 million of principal balance on new and existing loans and received loan repayments of $321 million. This activity resulted in net core portfolio growth of $319 million. Our core portfolio at the end of the quarter had 166 loans with an aggregate principal balance of approximately $4.6 billion. The average loan size was $27 million. Over 99% of our aggregate principal balance is in senior mortgage loans with approximately 98% in floating rate loans. When looking at the sector composition of our portfolio, approximately 72% is collateralized by multifamily properties. As of March 31, 2022, we had one non-performing loan.

(1) Fully converted per share information in this press release assumes applicable conversion of our RSUs and Series C, Series D and Series F preferred shares to common shares.

Residential ARM portfolio: As of March 31, 2022, the value of the Company’s residential ARM Agency Securities portfolio was $1.9 billion. The reduction in the value of this portfolio in the first quarter is due in part to (i) $339 million of principal paydowns and (ii) $2.2 billion of sales. During that period, the Company experienced trading losses of $88.4 million related to these assets. Mark to market adjustments on the ARM portfolio were the principal difference between GAAP net income and distributable earnings.

Conduit: For the quarter ended March 31, 2022, we closed $150 million of fixed rate loans that we sold or plan to sell through our conduit program. For the same period, we sold $76 million of conduit loans fo

Distributable Earnings

Distributable Earnings is a non-GAAP measure, which we define as GAAP

net income (loss), adjusted for (i) non-cash CLO amortization acceleration and amortization over our expected useful life of our CLOs, (ii) unrealized gains and losses on loans and derivatives, including CECL reserves and impairments, (iii) non-cash equity compensation expense, (iv) depreciation and amortization, (v) non-cash incentive fee accruals, and (vi) certain other non-cash items.

We believe that Distributable Earnings provides meaningful information to consider in addition to our GAAP results. We believe Distributable Earnings is a useful financial metric for existing and potential future holders of our common stock as historically, over time, Distributable Earnings has been an indicator of our dividends per share. As a REIT, we generally must distribute annually at least 90% of our net taxable income, subject to certain adjustments, and therefore we believe our dividends are one of the principal reasons stockholders may invest in our common stock. Further, Distributable Earnings helps us to evaluate our performance excluding the effects of certain transactions and GAAP adjustments that we believe are not necessarily indicative of our current loan portfolio and operations and is one of the performance metrics we consider when declaring our dividends.

Distributable Earnings does not represent net income (loss) and should not be considered as an alternative to GAAP net income (loss). Our methodology for calculating Distributable Earni
