Broadmark Realty Capital Announces Second Quarter 2022 Results

SEATTLE–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Broadmark Realty Capital Inc. (NYSE: BRMK) (the “Company”), an internally managed secured real estate finance company, today announced operating results for the quarter ended June 30, 2022.

“We closed on over $196 million of investments in the second quarter, at a weighted average yield greater than 10.0%. We accomplished this while remaining selective and disciplined with our underwriting to ensure we effectively navigate the rapidly changing and challenging capital markets and macro-economic environment,” stated Brian Ward, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer. “While we would prefer the pace of originations to accelerate, and see our capital as well positioned for further disruptions in the markets, we understand the importance in this rising rate and inflationary period to stay focused on solid credit, and smaller- to middle-market investments that align risk with return. Importantly, we have a low-levered, fortress balance sheet, with an enterprise leverage ratio of roughly 8%, which provides us with material resources to take advantage of future opportunities to capture long-term value for our shareholders.”

Second Quarter 2022 Financial and Loan Portfolio Highlights

• Total revenue of $28.5 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2022, comprised of interest income of $22.1 million and fee income of $6.4 million.
• Net income attributable to common stockholders of $15.9 million, or $0.12 per diluted common share.
• Distributable earnings prior to realized loss on investments, a non-GAAP financial measure, of $20.7 million, or $0.16 per diluted common share.

• New originations and amendments of $196.7 million, at a weighted average loan-to-value of 62.0%.
• As of June 30, 2022, the principal outstanding on loans in contractual default placed on non-accrual status was $91.7 million.

RECONCILIATION OF NET INCOME TO DISTRIBUTABLE EARNINGS

(in thousands, except for per share amounts, unaudited)

Definition of Distributable Earnings

The Company has elected to present “distributable earnings” and “distributable earnings prior to realized loss on investments”, supplemental non-GAAP financial measures used by management to evaluate the Company’s operating performance. The Company defines distributable earnings as net income attributable to common stockholders adjusted for: (i) impairment recorded on the Company’s investments; (ii) unrealized gains or losses on the Company’s investments (including provision for credit losses) and warrant liabilities; (iii) new public company transition expenses; (iv) non-capitalized transaction-related and other one-time expenses; (v) non-cash stock-based compensation; (vi) depreciation and amortization including amortization of the Company’s intangible assets; and (vii) deferred taxes, which are subject to variability and generally not indicative of future economic performance or representative of current operations.

During the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, provision for credit losses, net was $4.4 and $2.8 million, respectively, which has been excluded from distributable earnings consistent with other unrealized gains (losses) pursuant to the Company’s policy for reporting distributable earnings. The Company expects to recognize such potential credit losses in distributable earnings if and when such amounts are deemed nonrecoverable upon a realization event. This is generally upon charge-off of principal at the time of loan repayment or upon sale of real property owned by the Company and the amount of proceeds is less than the principal outstanding at the time of foreclosure.

Management believes that the adjustments to compute “distributable earnings” specified above allow investors and analysts to readily identify and track the operating performance of the Company’s assets, assist in comparing the operating results between periods, and enable investors to evaluate the Company’s current performance using the same measure that management uses to operate the business. Distributable earnings excludes certain recurring items, such as unrealized gains and losses (including provision for credit losses) and non-capitalized transaction-related expenses, because they are not considered by management to be part of the Company’s primary operations for the reasons described herein. However, management has elected to also present distributable earnings prior to realized loss on investments because it believes the Company’s investors use such measure to evaluate and compare the performance of the Company and its peers. As such, distributable earnings and distributable earnings prior to realized loss on investments are not intended to reflect all of the Company’s activity and should be considered as only one of the factors used by management in assessing the Company’s performance, along with GAAP net income which is inclusive of all of the Company’s activities.

As a REIT, the Company is required to distribute at least 90% of its annual REIT taxable income and to pay tax at regular corporate rates to the extent that it annually distributes less than 100% of such taxable income. Given these requirements and its belief that dividends are generally one of the principal reasons stockholders invest in its common stock, the Company generally intends to attempt to pay dividends to its stockholders in an amount equal to its net taxable income, if and to the extent authorized by the Company’s board of directors. Distributable earnings and distributable earnings prior to realized loss on investments are one of many factors considered by the Company’s board of directors in declaring dividends and, while not direct measures of taxable income, over time, the measures can be considered useful indicators of the Company’s dividends.

Distributable earnings and distributable earnings prior to realized loss on investments do not represent, and should not be considered as a substitute for, or superior to, net income or as a substitute for, or superior to, cash flows from operating activities, each as determined in accordance with GAAP, and the Company’s calculation of these measures may not be comparable to similarly entitled measures reported by other companies.
