Loans sold under the Fannie Mae program contain an obligation to partially guarantee the performance of the loan (“loss-sharing obligations”). At June 30, 2018, the Company’s allowance for loss-sharing obligations was $31.4 million which consists of general loss sharing guaranty obligations of $30.4 million, representing 0.24% of the Fannie Mae servicing portfolio, and $1.0 million of loss-sharing obligations on specifically identified loans with losses determined to be probable and estimable.

Portfolio and Investment Activity

 

·                 32 new loan originations totaling $606.9 million, of which 31 were bridge loans for $590.9 million

·                 Payoffs and pay downs on 22 loans totaling $238.0 million

·                 Significant portfolio growth of 13% from 1Q18

 

At June 30, 2018, the loan and investment portfolio’s unpaid principal balance, excluding loan loss reserves, was $3.14 billion, with a weighted average current interest pay rate of 6.76%, compared to $2.78 billion and 6.57% at March 31, 2018.  Including certain fees earned and costs associated with the loan and investment portfolio, the weighted average current interest pay rate was 7.40% at June 30, 2018, compared to 7.28% at March 31, 2018.

 

The average balance of the Company’s loan and investment portfolio during the second quarter of 2018, excluding loan loss reserves, was $2.91 billion with a weighted average yield on these assets of 7.40%, compared to $2.68 billion and 7.08% for the first quarter of 2018. The increase in average yield was primarily due to an increase in LIBOR.

 

At June 30, 2018, the Company’s total loan loss reserves were $58.7 million on four loans with an aggregate carrying value before loan loss reserves of $129.7 million. The Company also had two non-performing loans with a carrying value of $2.5 million, net of related loan loss reserves of $1.7 million.

 

In July 2018, we received approximately $11 million from the settlement of a litigation related to a prior investment, which we expect to record as a gain in the third quarter of 2018.

Financing Activity

 

The Company completed its tenth collateralized securitization vehicle (“CLO X”) totaling $560.0 million of real estate related assets and cash. Investment grade-rated notes totaling $441.0 million were issued, and the Company retained subordinate interests in the issuing vehicle of $119.0 million. The facility has a four-year asset replenishment period and an initial weighted average interest rate of 1.45% over LIBOR, excluding fees and transaction costs.

 

The Company completed the unwind of CLO V, redeeming $267.8 million of outstanding notes which were repaid with proceeds received from the refinancing of CLO V’s outstanding assets within the Company’s existing financing facilities including CLO X. As a result of this transaction, the Company recognized an expense of $1.3 million from the acceleration of deferred fees.

 

The balance of debt that finances the Company’s loan and investment portfolio at June 30, 2018 was $2.81 billion with a weighted average interest rate including fees of 4.93% as compared to $2.45 billion and a rate of 5.09% at March 31, 2018. The average balance of debt that finances the Company’s loan and investment portfolio for the second quarter of 2018 was $2.54 billion, as compared to $2.30 billion for the first quarter of 2018. The average cost of borrowings for the second quarter was 5.46%, compared to 5.33% for the first quarter of 2018. The increase in average costs was primarily due to an increase in LIBOR as well as the acceleration of fees related to the early repayment of debt.

 

The Company is subject to various financial covenants and restrictions under the terms of its collateralized securitization vehicles and financing facilities. The Company believes it was in compliance with all financial covenants and restrictions as of June 30, 2018 and as of the most recent collateralized securitization vehicle determination dates in July 2018.

 

Capital Markets

 

The Company issued 6.1 million shares of common stock receiving net proceeds of $52.9 million and used the net proceeds to make investments and for general corporate purposes.

 

The Company reopened its 5.625% convertible senior notes due May 2023 and issued an additional $25.0 million for a total outstanding principal amount of $125.0 million, including the initial $100.0 million from March 2018.

The initial purchasers of the Notes have the option to purchase up to an additional $19.5 million of Notes solely to cover over-allotments. The Company received proceeds totaling $237.2 million, net of the underwriter’s discount and fees from these offerings. The Company used the net proceeds to exchange $99.8 million in aggregate principal amount of its 6.50% convertible senior notes due 2019 and $127.6 million in aggregate principal amount of its 5.375% convertible senior notes due 2020 for a combination of $219.8 million in cash and 6.8 million shares of the Company’s common stock to settle such exchanges.

(1) Amounts are attributable to common stockholders and OP Unit holders. The OP Units are redeemable for cash, or at the Company’s option for shares of the Company’s common stock on a one-for-one basis.

 

(2) Excluding the impact of $1.5 million of one-time, non-cash accelerated costs related to the exchange of our 6.50% convertible senior notes due 2019, AFFO for the second quarter of 2018 was $28.0 million, or $0.31 per diluted common share.

 

The Company is presenting FFO and AFFO because management believes they are important supplemental measures of the Company’s operating performance in that they are frequently used by analysts, investors and other parties in the evaluation of REITs. The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, or NAREIT, defines FFO as net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains (losses) from sales of depreciated real properties, plus impairments of depreciated real properties and real estate related depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated ventures.

 

The Company defines AFFO as funds from operations adjusted for accounting items such as non-cash stock-based compensation expense, income from mortgage servicing rights (“MSRs”), changes in fair value of certain derivatives that temporarily flow through earnings, amortization and write-offs of MSRs, deferred tax (benefit) provision and the amortization of the convertible senior notes conversion option. The Company also adds back one-time charges such as acquisition costs and impairment losses on real estate and gains (losses) on sales of real estate. The Company is generally not in the business of operating real estate property and has obtained real estate by foreclosure or through partial or full settlement of mortgage debt related to the Company’s loans to maximize the value of the collateral and minimize the Company’s exposure. Therefore, the Company deems such impairment and gains (losses) on real estate as an extension of the asset management of its loans, thus a recovery of principal or additional loss on the Company’s initial investment.

 

FFO and AFFO are not intended to be an indication of the Company’s cash flow from operating activities (determined in accordance with GAAP) or a measure of its liquidity, nor is it entirely indicative of funding the Company’s cash needs, including its ability to make cash distributions. The Company’s calculation of FFO and AFFO may be different from the calculations used by other companies and, therefore, comparability may be limited.
