origination

Adjusted Book Value
(1)
(1)
Management views adjusted book value as a useful and appropriate
supplement to shareholders’
equity and book value per share. The measure serves as an additional measure of our
value because it facilitates evaluation of us without the effects of various items that we are required to record in accordance with GAAP but which have limited economic impact on our
business.
Those adjustments primarily reflect the effect of consolidated securitizations where we do not currently receive cash flows on our retained interests, accumulated depreciation and
amortization, the valuation of long-term derivative instruments and a valuation of our recurring collateral and property management fees.  Adjusted book value is a non-GAAP financial
measurement,
and
does
not
purport
to
be
an
alternative
to
reported
shareholders’
equity,
determined
in
accordance
with
GAAP,
as
a
measure
of
book
value.
Adjusted
book
value
should
be
reviewed
in
connection
with
shareholders’
equity
as
set
forth
in
our
consolidated
balance
sheets,
to
help
analyze
our
value
to
investors.
Adjusted
book
value
may
be
defined
in
various
ways
throughout
the
REIT
industry.
Investors
should
consider
these
differences
when
comparing
our
adjusted
book
value
to
that
of
other
REITs.
