GREENWICH, Conn., May 8, 2024
/PRNewswire/ -- Starwood Property Trust, Inc. (NYSE: STWD) today
announced operating results for the fiscal quarter ended
March 31, 2024. The Company's
first quarter 2024 GAAP net income was $154.3 million, and Distributable Earnings (a
non-GAAP financial measure) was $191.6
million. These amounts include net gains of
$90.8 million and $37.4 million, respectively, on the sale of our
Master Lease Portfolio.
"We continue to navigate this dynamic market landscape with our
low leverage multi-cylinder business. This quarter, we monetized
our Master Lease Portfolio, highlighting the success we have had in
creating value from our owned property assets. Along with our
infrastructure lending, residential lending, special servicing,
CMBS and conduit businesses, the properties have been a strong
complement to our core commercial lending business. We will
continue to pursue opportunities to deploy capital into the best
risk-adjusted investments across all of our business lines as
opportunities arise," commented Barry
Sternlicht, Chairman and CEO of Starwood Property Trust.
"We have maintained our strong access to liquidity, as
demonstrated by our $600 million five-year unsecured debt
issuance this quarter. We were the first in our industry to issue
unsecured debt in over two years with a transaction that was 7x
oversubscribed from more than 150 institutional credit investors,"
added Jeffrey DiModica, President of
Starwood Property Trust.

Definition of Distributable Earnings
Distributable 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, Distributable 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 for successful acquisitions, depreciation and
amortization of real estate and associated intangibles, any
unrealized gains, losses or other non-cash items recorded in net
income (loss) for the period and, to the extent deducted from net
income (loss), distributions payable with respect to equity
securities of subsidiaries issued in exchange for properties or
interests therein. 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. Refer to the Company's Quarterly Report on Form
10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2024 for additional
information regarding Distributable Earnings.
