Appendix


 
Third Quarter 2017 Earnings Summary • Loan closings weighted towards the end of the third quarter • Dividend of $0.32 per share driven by core earnings but also taxable income recognized in the quarter • Taxable income was $14.3 million, or $0.33 per share, and included $2.6 million of amortization of gain related to the formation transaction that occurred concurrent with our IPO – Estimate approximately $15 million of taxable accretion to be recognized through the end of 2019(2) • Expect taxable income over the next 2-3 years, on a declining basis, to be higher than core earnings as a result of the taxable accretion • Expect fourth quarter 2017 dividend in range of $0.38-$0.40 per share(3) 24 SUMMARY INCOME STATEMENT ($ IN MILLIONS, EXCEPT PER SHARE DATA) Interest Income $30.9 Interest Expense ($12.5) Net Interest Income $18.4 Operating Expenses $6.9 Net Income $11.5 Weighted Average Common Shares Outstanding 43,234,254 Net Income Per Share $0.27 GAAP NET INCOME TO CORE EARNINGS RECONCILIATION ($ IN MILLIONS, EXCEPT PER SHARE DATA) GAAP Net Income $11.5 Adjustments: Non-Cash Equity Compensation $0.4 Core Earnings(1) $11.9 Weighted Average Common Shares Outstanding 43,234,254 Core Earnings Per Share $0.28 1) Core Earnings is a non-U.S. GAAP measure that we define as comprehensive income attributable to common stockholders, excluding “realized and unrealized gains and losses” (impairment losses, realized and unrealized gains or losses on the aggregate portfolio and non-cash compensation expense related to restricted common stock). We believe the presentation of Core Earnings provides investors greater transparency into our period-over-period financial performance and facilitates comparisons to peer REITs. 2) The timing of the tax accretion may change depending on prepayments, future fundings, loan extensions, credit defaults, and other factors. 3) Anticipated dividend is subject to the discretion and approval of our Board of Directors. Going forward, we do not expect to provide guidance on dividends or other financial results.


 
Overview: GAAP–to–Tax Difference • During our formation transaction, the contribution by Two Harbors of its commercial real estate lending business was treated as a sale for tax purposes – As a result, we recognized a lower tax basis than GAAP basis of approximately $22 million at the time of the transaction – This GAAP-to-tax difference will result in higher tax accretion versus GAAP accretion over the life of the commercial real estate investment portfolio we acquired from Two Harbors • In the third quarter, we recognized approximately $2.6 million of additional accretion in taxable income versus GAAP income • We estimate, that through the end of 2019, we will recognize approximately $15 million of additional taxable accretion resulting in our taxable income being higher than core earnings – The amount and timing of this recognition may change depending on factors such as additional fundings, prepayments, and any potential credit losses, among other things 25
