GREENWICH, Conn., May 9, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Starwood Property Trust, Inc. (NYSE: STWD) today announced operating results for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2016.  The Company’s first quarter 2016 Core Earnings (a non-GAAP financial measure) were $118.9 million, or $0.50 per diluted share.    GAAP net income for the first quarter of 2016, which was impacted by unrealized changes in fair value of securities and foreign currency hedges, as well as depreciation on the Company’s property portfolio, was $26.7 million, or $0.11 per diluted share.

 

“I am very pleased with our performance this quarter. Last quarter, we suggested that we would take a step back and exercise great caution, faced with a volatile credit market that was experiencing significant credit spread deterioration. We said that we would be cautious with our capital deployment. Patience was a costly but prudent strategy as we waited for the volatility to subside, enabling us to reevaluate the playing field,” stated Barry Sternlicht, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Starwood Property Trust.

 

“Despite the conscious slowdown of our lending activities and the consequent drag of having excess cash, our diversified businesses were able to deliver solid quarterly results. We have not realized a single credit loss in the $17.9 billion of loans that we have originated or acquired since our inception in 2009.  Our weighted average LTV of 61.2% is our lowest ever as a public company and speaks to the strong credit culture engrained in our organization. Just as exciting, we can now suggest that several of our equity investments are exceeding our projected returns and should increase our book value per share as they are harvested,” added Mr. Sternlicht.

 

Mr. Sternlicht continued, “Looking forward, with a world awash in liquidity, we are now seeing the contraction of credit spreads.  This, along with the structural changes taking place in the domestic and European lending markets, is leading to a robust pipeline of attractive opportunities in what appears to be a compelling investing environment for commercial real estate.  Our dedicated group of nearly 500 Starwood Property Trust professionals coupled with Starwood Capital Group’s over 1,500 employees across 10 global offices, is superbly and uniquely positioned to find, underwrite and execute on excellent investment opportunities across our various businesses in a focused effort to continue to generate exceptional risk adjusted total returns for our shareholders.”

Forward-Looking Statements

 

Statements in this press release which are not historical fact may be deemed forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.  Although Starwood Property Trust, Inc. believes the expectations reflected in any forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, it can give no assurance that its expectations will be attained.   Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the Company’s expectations include completion of pending investments, continued ability to acquire additional investments, competition within the finance and real estate industries, economic conditions, availability of financing and other risks detailed from time to time in the Company's reports filed with the SEC.

Footnotes

 

(1)

The difference between the Carry Value and Face Amount of the loans held for investment consists of unamortized purchase discount, deferred loan fees and loan origination costs. The difference between the Carry Value and Face Amount of the RMBS available-for-sale securities consists of the unrealized gains/(losses) on the fair value of the securities and unamortized purchase discount.

(2)

Current financings are either floating rate or swapped to fixed rate to match the interest rate characteristics of the underlying asset.

(3)

The current leveraged return represents the compounded effective rate of return earned over the life of the investment based on existing leverage levels as of March 31, 2016, and calculated on a weighted average basis.  Leveraged returns include the loan coupon, amortization of premium or discount, and the effects of costs and fees, all recognized on the effective interest method. Leveraged returns are presented solely for informational purposes and will not equal income recognized in prior or future periods due mainly to the fact that (i) interest earned on the Company’s floating rate loans will change in the future when interest rates change, and these leveraged returns assume interest rates remain at current levels and (ii) the leveraged returns assume that the leverage levels existing at March 31, 2016 will be maintained either throughout the remaining term of the applicable credit facilities or the remaining term of the investment, if shorter.  However, leverage levels in future periods will likely fluctuate as the Company manages its day-to-day liquidity.

(4)

The optimal asset-level return assumes (i) maximum available leverage in place or in negotiation for each asset, notwithstanding the amount actually borrowed, and (ii) full syndication of the first mortgage when syndication is deemed probable.

(5)

First mortgages include first mortgage loans and any contiguous subordinated mortgage and/or mezzanine loan components because as a whole, the expected credit quality of these loans is more similar to that of a first mortgage loan.  The application of this methodology resulted in mezzanine loans with carrying values of $1.0 billion being classified as first mortgages as of March 31, 2016.

(6)

Underlying property values are determined by the Company’s management based on its ongoing asset assessments, and loan balances that are the face value of a loan regardless of whether the Company has purchased the loan at a discount or premium to par. Assets characterized as first mortgages include all loan components where the Company owns the senior most interest in the loan, which may include subordinated mortgages and/or mezzanine loans.  Assets characterized as subordinated mortgages are the subordinated components of first mortgages where the Company does not own the senior most interest in the loan. Assets characterized as mezzanine loans are mezzanine loans where the Company does not own the senior most interest in the loan. For any loans collateralized by ground-up construction projects without significant leasing or units with executed sales contracts, the fully funded loan balance is included in the numerator and the fully budgeted construction cost, including costs of acquisition of the property, is included in the denominator. For ground up construction loans which have significant leasing or units under contract for sale, the fully funded loan balance is included in the numerator with an estimate of the stabilized value upon completion of construction included in the denominator.  Includes loans held for investment and preferred equity.

(7)

Represents the Company’s entire investment, which includes all components of the capital stack that it owns (i.e., first mortgages, subordinated mortgages, mezzanine loans and preferred equity).

(8)

Face amount is $4.6 billion. Differences between face amount and carry value are principally attributable to purchase discounts and changes in fair value.

(9)

Net carrying value includes all components of the related asset, including properties and intangibles.

(10)

Excludes income of $1.6 million associated with the forgiveness of certain government-sponsored financing.

(11)

Adjusted for accumulated depreciation and amortization associated with commercial real estate properties.

Definition of Core Earnings

 

Core Earnings, a non-GAAP financial measure, is used to compute the Company’s incentive fees to its external manager and is an appropriate supplemental disclosure for a mortgage REIT.  For the Company’s purposes, Core Earnings is defined as GAAP net income (loss) excluding non-cash equity compensation expense, the incentive fee due to the Company’s external manager, acquisition costs from successful acquisitions, depreciation and amortization of real estate and associated intangibles,  losses on debt extinguishment and any unrealized gains, losses or other non-cash items recorded in net income for the period, regardless of whether such items are included in other comprehensive income or loss, or in net income. The amount is adjusted to exclude one-time events pursuant to changes in GAAP and certain other non-cash adjustments as determined by the Company’s external manager and approved by a majority of the Company’s independent directors.
