Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains certain forward-looking statements, including without limitation, statements concerning our operations, economic performance and financial condition. These forward-looking statements are made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements are developed by combining currently available information with our beliefs and assumptions and are generally identified by the words “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate” and other similar expressions. Forward-looking statements do not guarantee future performance, which may be materially different from that expressed in, or implied by, any such statements. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of their respective dates.
These forward-looking statements are based largely on our current beliefs, assumptions and expectations of our future performance taking into account all information currently available to us. These beliefs, assumptions and expectations can change as a result of many possible events or factors, not all of which are known to us or within our control, and which could materially affect actual results, performance or achievements. Factors that may cause actual results to vary from our forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to:
•
factors described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 and this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including those set forth under the captions “Risk Factors”, “Business” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations”;
•
the severity and duration of the pandemic of the novel strain of coronavirus (“COVID-19”), actions that may be taken by governmental authorities, businesses and others to contain the COVID-19 pandemic, including variants and resurgences, or to treat its impact and the adverse impacts that the COVID-19 pandemic has had, and will likely continue to have, on the global economy, on the borrowers underlying our real estate-related assets and infrastructure loans and tenants of our owned properties, including their ability to make payments on their loans or to pay rent, as the case may be, and on our operations and financial performance;
•
defaults by borrowers in paying debt service on outstanding indebtedness;
•
impairment in the value of real estate property securing our loans or in which we invest;
•
availability of mortgage origination and acquisition opportunities acceptable to us;
•
potential mismatches in the timing of asset repayments and the maturity of the associated financing agreements;
•
our ability to achieve the benefits that we anticipate from the prior acquisition of the project finance origination, underwriting and capital markets business of GE Capital Global Holdings, LLC;
•
national and local economic and business conditions, including continued disruption from the COVID-19 pandemic;
•
the occurrence of certain geo-political events (such as wars, terrorist attacks and tensions between states) that affect the normal and peaceful course of international relations (such as the Russian invasion of Ukraine);
•
general and local commercial and residential real estate property conditions;
•
changes in federal government policies;
•
changes in federal, state and local governmental laws and regulations;
•
increased competition from entities engaged in mortgage lending and securities investing activities;
•
changes in interest rates; and
•
the availability of, and costs associated with, sources of liquidity.
In light of these risks and uncertainties, there can be no assurances that the results referred to in the forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q will in fact occur. Except to the extent required by applicable law or regulation, we undertake no obligation to, and expressly disclaim any such obligation to, update or revise any forward-looking statements to reflect changed assumptions, the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events, changes to future results over time or otherwise.

Starwood Property Trust, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
As of September 30, 2022
(Unaudited)
1.
Business and Organization
Starwood Property Trust, Inc. (“STWD” and, together with its subsidiaries, “we” or the “Company”) is a Maryland corporation that commenced operations in August 2009, upon the completion of our initial public offering. We are focused primarily on originating, acquiring, financing and managing mortgage loans and other real estate investments in the United States (“U.S.”), Europe and Australia. As market conditions change over time, we may adjust our strategy to take advantage of changes in interest rates and credit spreads as well as economic and credit conditions.
We have
four
reportable business segments as of September 30, 2022 and we refer to the investments within these segments as our target assets:
•
Real estate commercial and residential lending (the “Commercial and Residential Lending Segment”)—engages primarily in originating, acquiring, financing and managing commercial first mortgages, non-agency residential mortgages (“residential loans”), subordinated mortgages, mezzanine loans, preferred equity, commercial mortgage-backed securities (“CMBS”), residential mortgage-backed securities (“RMBS”) and other real estate and real estate-related debt investments in the U.S., Europe and Australia (including distressed or non-performing loans). Our residential loans are secured by a first mortgage lien on residential property and primarily consist of non-agency residential loans that are not guaranteed by any U.S. Government agency or federally chartered corporation.
•
Infrastructure lending (the “Infrastructure Lending Segment”)—engages primarily in originating, acquiring, financing and managing infrastructure debt investments.
•
Real estate property (the “Property Segment”)—engages primarily in acquiring and managing equity interests in stabilized commercial real estate properties, including multifamily properties and commercial properties subject to net leases, that are held for investment.
•
Real estate investing and servicing (the “Investing and Servicing Segment”)—includes (i) a servicing business in the U.S. that manages and works out problem assets, (ii) an investment business that selectively acquires and manages unrated, investment grade and non-investment grade rated CMBS, including subordinated interests of securitization and resecuritization transactions, (iii) a mortgage loan business which originates conduit loans for the primary purpose of selling these loans into securitization transactions and (iv) an investment business that selectively acquires commercial real estate assets, including properties acquired from CMBS trusts.
Our segments exclude the consolidation of securitization variable interest entities (“VIEs”).
We are organized and conduct our operations to qualify as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). As such, we will generally not be subject to U.S. federal corporate income tax on that portion of our net income that is distributed to stockholders if we distribute at least
90
% of our taxable income to our stockholders by prescribed dates and comply with various other requirements.
We are organized as a holding company and conduct our business primarily through our various wholly-owned subsidiaries. We are externally managed and advised by SPT Management, LLC (our “Manager”) pursuant to the terms of a management agreement. Our Manager is controlled by Barry Sternlicht, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. Our Manager is an affiliate of Starwood Capital Group Global L.P., a privately-held private equity firm founded by Mr. Sternlicht.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Balance Sheet Presentation of Securitization Variable Interest Entities
We operate investment businesses that acquire unrated, investment grade and non-investment grade rated CMBS and RMBS. These securities represent interests in securitization structures (commonly referred to as special purpose entities, or “SPEs”). These SPEs are structured as pass through entities that receive principal and interest on the underlying collateral and distribute those payments to the certificate holders. Under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), SPEs typically qualify as VIEs. These are entities that, by design, either (1) lack sufficient equity to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties, or (2) have equity investors that do not have the ability to make significant decisions relating to the entity’s operations through voting rights, or do not have the obligation to absorb the expected losses, or do not have the right to receive the residual returns of the entity.
Because we often serve as the special servicer or servicing administrator of the trusts in which we invest, or we have the ability to remove and replace the special servicer without cause, consolidation of these structures is required pursuant to GAAP as outlined in detail below. This results in a consolidated balance sheet which presents the gross assets and liabilities of the VIEs. The assets and other instruments held by these VIEs are restricted and can only be used to fulfill the obligations of the entity. Additionally, the obligations of the VIEs do not have any recourse to the general credit of any other consolidated entities, nor to us as the consolidator of these VIEs.
The VIE liabilities initially represent investment securities on our balance sheet (pre-consolidation). Upon consolidation of these VIEs, our associated investment securities are eliminated, as is the interest income related to those securities. Similarly, the fees we earn in our roles as special servicer of the bonds issued by the consolidated VIEs or as collateral administrator of the consolidated VIEs are also eliminated. Finally, a portion of the identified servicing intangible associated with the eliminated fee streams is eliminated in consolidation.
Refer to the segment data in Note 23 for a presentation of our business segments without consolidation of these VIEs.
Basis of Accounting and Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include our accounts and those of our consolidated subsidiaries and VIEs. Intercompany amounts have been eliminated in consolidation. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows have been included.
These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 (our “Form 10-K”), as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year.
Refer to our Form 10-K for a description of our recurring accounting policies. We have included disclosure in this Note 2 regarding principles of consolidation and other accounting policies that (i) are required to be disclosed quarterly, (ii) we view as critical, (iii) became significant since December 31, 2021 due to a corporate action or increase in the significance of the underlying business activity or (iv) changed upon adoption of an Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”).
Variable Interest Entities
In addition to the securitization VIEs, we have financed pools of our loans through collateralized loan obligations (“CLOs”) and a single asset securitization (“SASB”), which are considered VIEs. We also hold interests in certain other entities which are considered VIEs as the limited partners of those entities with equity at risk do not collectively possess (i) the right to remove the general partner or dissolve the partnership without cause or (ii) the right to participate in significant decisions made by the partnership.
We evaluate all of our interests in VIEs for consolidation. When our interests are determined to be variable interests, we assess whether we are deemed to be the primary beneficiary of the VIE. The primary beneficiary of a VIE is required to consolidate the VIE. Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 810,
Consolidation
, defines the primary beneficiary as the party that has both (i) the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact its economic performance, and (ii) the obligation to absorb losses and the right to receive benefits from the VIE which could be potentially significant. We
12
Tab
le of Co
ntents
consider our variable interests as well as any variable interests of our related parties in making this determination. Where both of these factors are present, we are deemed to be the primary beneficiary and we consolidate the VIE. Where either one of these factors is not present, we are not the primary beneficiary and do not consolidate the VIE.
To assess whether we have the power to direct the activities of a VIE that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance, we consider all facts and circumstances, including our role in establishing the VIE and our ongoing rights and responsibilities. This assessment includes: (i) identifying the activities that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance; and (ii) identifying which party, if any, has power over those activities. In general, the parties that make the most significant decisions affecting the VIE or have the right to unilaterally remove those decision makers are deemed to have the power to direct the activities of a VIE. The right to remove the decision maker in a VIE must be exercisable without cause for the decision maker to not be deemed the party that has the power to direct the activities of a VIE.
To assess whether we have the obligation to absorb losses of the VIE or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE, we consider all of our economic interests, including debt and equity investments, servicing fees and other arrangements deemed to be variable interests in the VIE. This assessment requires that we apply judgment in determining whether these interests, in the aggregate, are considered potentially significant to the VIE. Factors considered in assessing significance include: the design of the VIE, including its capitalization structure; subordination of interests; payment priority; relative share of interests held across various classes within the VIE’s capital structure; and the reasons why the interests are held by us.
Our purchased investment securities include unrated and non-investment grade rated securities issued by securitization trusts. In certain cases, we may contract to provide special servicing activities for these trusts, or, as holder of the controlling class, we may have the right to name and remove the special servicer for these trusts. In our role as special servicer, we provide services on defaulted loans within the trusts, such as foreclosure or work-out procedures, as permitted by the underlying contractual agreements. In exchange for these services, we receive a fee. These rights give us the ability to direct activities that could significantly impact the trust’s economic performance. However, in those instances where an unrelated third party has the right to unilaterally remove us as special servicer without cause, we do not have the power to direct activities that most significantly impact the trust’s economic performance. We evaluated all of our positions in such investments for consolidation.
For securitization VIEs in which we are determined to be the primary beneficiary, all of the underlying assets, liabilities and equity of the structures are recorded on our books, and the initial investment, along with any associated unrealized holding gains and losses, are eliminated in consolidation. Similarly, the interest income earned from these structures, as well as the fees paid by these trusts to us in our capacity as special servicer, are eliminated in consolidation. Further, a portion of the identified servicing intangible asset associated with the servicing fee streams, and the corresponding amortization or change in fair value of the servicing intangible asset, are also eliminated in consolidation.
We perform ongoing reassessments of: (i) whether any entities previously evaluated under the majority voting interest framework have become VIEs, based on certain events, and therefore subject to the VIE consolidation framework, and (ii) whether changes in the facts and circumstances regarding our involvement with a VIE causes our consolidation conclusion regarding the VIE to change.
We elect the fair value option for initial and subsequent recognition of the assets and liabilities of our consolidated securitization VIEs. Interest income and interest expense associated with these VIEs are no longer relevant on a standalone basis because these amounts are already reflected in the fair value changes. We have elected to present these items in a single line on our condensed consolidated statements of operations. The residual difference shown on our condensed consolidated statements of operations in the line item “Change in net assets related to consolidated VIEs” represents our beneficial interest in the VIEs.
We separately present the assets and liabilities of our consolidated securitization VIEs as individual line items on our condensed consolidated balance sheets. The liabilities of our consolidated securitization VIEs consist solely of obligations to the bondholders of the related trusts, and are thus presented as a single line item entitled “VIE liabilities.” The assets of our consolidated securitization VIEs consist principally of loans, but at times, also include foreclosed loans which have been temporarily converted into real estate owned (“REO”). These assets in the aggregate are likewise presented as a single line item entitled “VIE assets.”
Loans comprise the vast majority of our securitization VIE assets and are carried at fair value due to the election of the fair value option. When an asset becomes REO, it is due to non-performance of the loan. Because the loan is already at fair value, the carrying value of an REO asset is also initially at fair value. Furthermore, when we consolidate a trust, any existing
13
Tab
le of Co
ntents
REO would be consolidated at fair value. Once an asset becomes REO, its disposition time is relatively short. As a result, the carrying value of an REO generally approximates fair value under GAAP.
In addition to sharing a similar measurement method as the loans in a trust, the securitization VIE assets as a whole can only be used to settle the obligations of the consolidated VIE. The assets of our securitization VIEs are not individually accessible by the bondholders, which creates inherent limitations from a valuation perspective. Also creating limitations from a valuation perspective is our role as special servicer, which provides us very limited visibility, if any, into the performing loans of a trust.
REO assets generally represent a very small percentage of the overall asset pool of a trust. In new issue trusts there are no REO assets. We estimate that REO assets constitute approximately
1
% of our consolidated securitization VIE assets, with the remaining
99
% representing loans. However, it is important to note that the fair value of our securitization VIE assets is determined by reference to our securitization VIE liabilities as permitted under ASU 2014-13,
Consolidation (Topic 810): Measuring the Financial Assets and the Financial Liabilities of a Consolidated Collateralized Financing Entity
. In other words, our VIE liabilities are more reliably measurable than the VIE assets, resulting in our current measurement methodology which utilizes this value to determine the fair value of our securitization VIE assets as a whole. As a result, these percentages are not necessarily indicative of the relative fair values of each of these asset categories if the assets were to be valued individually.
Due to our accounting policy election under ASU 2014-13, separately presenting two different asset categories would result in an arbitrary assignment of value to each, with one asset category representing a residual amount, as opposed to its fair value. However, as a pool, the fair value of the assets in total is equal to the fair value of the liabilities.
For these reasons, the assets of our securitization VIEs are presented in the aggregate.
Fair Value Option
The guidance in ASC 825,
Financial Instruments
, provides a fair value option election that allows entities to make an irrevocable election of fair value as the initial and subsequent measurement attribute for certain eligible financial assets and liabilities. Unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected are reported in earnings. The decision to elect the fair value option is determined on an instrument by instrument basis and must be applied to an entire instrument and is irrevocable once elected. Assets and liabilities measured at fair value pursuant to this guidance are required to be reported separately in our consolidated balance sheets from those instruments using another accounting method.
We have elected the fair value option for certain eligible financial assets and liabilities of our consolidated securitization VIEs, residential loans held-for-investment, loans held-for-sale originated or acquired for future securitization and purchased CMBS issued by VIEs we could consolidate in the future. The fair value elections for VIE and securitization related items were made in order to mitigate accounting mismatches between the carrying value of the instruments and the related assets and liabilities that we consolidate at fair value. The fair value elections for residential loans held-for-investment were made in order to maintain consistency across all our residential loans. The fair value elections for mortgage loans held-for-sale were made due to the expected short-term holding period of these instruments.
Fair Value Measurements
We measure our mortgage-backed securities, investments of consolidated affordable housing fund, derivative assets and liabilities, domestic servicing rights intangible asset and any assets or liabilities where we have elected the fair value option at fair value. When actively quoted observable prices are not available, we either use implied pricing from similar assets and liabilities or valuation models based on net present values of estimated future cash flows, adjusted as appropriate for liquidity, credit, market and/or other risk factors.
As discussed above, we measure the assets and liabilities of consolidated securitization VIEs at fair value pursuant to our election of the fair value option. The securitization VIEs in which we invest are “static”; that is,
no
reinvestment is permitted, and there is no active management of the underlying assets. In determining the fair value of the assets and liabilities of the securitization VIEs, we maximize the use of observable inputs over unobservable inputs. Refer to Note 20 for further discussion regarding our fair value measurements.

Loans Held-for-Investment
Loans that are held for investment (“HFI”) are carried at cost, net of unamortized acquisition premiums or discounts, loan fees and origination costs, as applicable, and net of credit loss allowances as discussed below, unless the loans are credit deteriorated or we have elected to apply the fair value option at purchase.
Loans Held-For-Sale
Our loans that we intend to sell or liquidate in the short-term are classified as held-for-sale and are carried at the lower of amortized cost or fair value, unless we have elected to apply the fair value option at origination or purchase.
Investment Securities
We designate our debt investment securities as held-to-maturity (“HTM”), available-for-sale (“AFS”), or trading depending on our investment strategy and ability to hold such securities to maturity. HTM debt securities where we have not elected to apply the fair value option are stated at cost plus any premiums or discounts, which are amortized or accreted through the condensed consolidated statements of operations using the effective interest method. Debt securities we (i) do not hold for the purpose of selling in the near-term, or (ii) may dispose of prior to maturity, are classified as AFS and are carried at fair value in the accompanying financial statements. Unrealized gains or losses on AFS debt securities where we have not elected the fair value option are reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”) in stockholders’ equity. Our HTM and AFS debt securities are also subject to credit loss allowances as discussed below.
Our only equity investment security is carried at fair value, with unrealized holding gains and losses recorded in earnings.
Credit Losses
Loans and Debt Securities Measured at Amortized Cost
ASC 326,
Financial Instruments – Credit Losses
, became effective for the Company on January 1, 2020. ASC 326 mandates the use of a current expected credit loss model (“CECL”) for estimating future credit losses of certain financial instruments measured at amortized cost, instead of the “incurred loss” credit model previously required under GAAP. The CECL model requires the consideration of possible credit losses over the life of an instrument as opposed to only estimating credit losses upon the occurrence of a discrete loss event under the previous “incurred loss” methodology. The CECL model applies to our HFI loans and our HTM debt securities which are carried at amortized cost, including future funding commitments and accrued interest receivable related to those loans and securities. However, as permitted by ASC 326, we have elected not to measure an allowance for credit losses on accrued interest receivable (which is classified separately on our condensed consolidated balance sheets), but rather write off in a timely manner by reversing interest income and/or cease accruing interest that would likely be uncollectible.
As we do not have a history of realized credit losses on our HFI loans and HTM securities, we have subscribed to third party database services to provide us with historical industry losses for both commercial real estate and infrastructure loans. Using these losses as a benchmark, we determine expected credit losses for our loans and securities on a collective basis within our commercial real estate and infrastructure portfolios. See Note 4 for further discussion of our methodologies.
We also evaluate each loan and security measured at amortized cost for credit deterioration at least quarterly. Credit deterioration occurs when it is deemed probable that we will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan or security. If a loan or security is considered to be credit deteriorated, we depart from the industry loss rate approach described above and determine the credit loss allowance as any excess of the amortized cost basis of the loan or security over (i) the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the contractual effective interest rate or (ii) the fair value of the collateral, if repayment is expected solely from the collateral.
Available-for-Sale Debt Securities
Separate provisions of ASC 326 apply to our AFS debt securities, which are carried at fair value with unrealized gains and losses reported as a component of AOCI. We are required to establish an initial credit loss allowance for those securities that are purchased with credit deterioration (“PCD”) by grossing up the amortized cost basis of each security and providing an offsetting credit loss allowance for the difference between expected cash flows and contractual cash flows, both on a present value basis.
15
Tab
le of Co
ntents
Subsequently, cumulative adverse changes in expected cash flows on our AFS debt securities are recognized currently as an increase to the allowance for credit losses. However, the allowance is limited to the amount by which the AFS debt security’s amortized cost exceeds its fair value. Favorable changes in expected cash flows are first recognized as a decrease to the allowance for credit losses (recognized currently in earnings). Such changes would be recognized as a prospective yield adjustment only when the allowance for credit losses is reduced to zero. A change in expected cash flows that is attributable solely to a change in a variable interest reference rate does not result in a credit loss and is accounted for as a prospective yield adjustment.
Investments of Consolidated Affordable Housing Fund
On November 5, 2021, we established Woodstar Portfolio Holdings, LLC (the “Woodstar Fund”), an investment fund which holds our Woodstar multifamily affordable housing portfolios consisting of
59
properties with
15,057
units located in Central and South Florida. As managing member of the Woodstar Fund, we manage interests purchased by third party investors seeking capital appreciation and an ongoing return, for which we earn (i) a management fee based on each investor’s share of total Woodstar Fund equity; and (ii) an incentive distribution if the Woodstar Fund’s returns exceed an established threshold. In connection with the establishment of the Woodstar Fund, we entered into subscription and other related agreements with certain third party institutional investors to sell, through a feeder fund structure, an aggregate
20.6
% interest in the Woodstar Fund for an initial aggregate subscription price of $
216.0
million, which was adjusted to $
214.2
million post-closing. The Woodstar Fund has an initial term of
eight years
.
Effective with the third party interest sale, the Woodstar Fund has the characteristics of an investment company under ASC 946,
Financial Services – Investment Companies.
Accordingly, the Woodstar Fund is required to carry the investments in its properties at fair value, with a cumulative effect adjustment between the fair value and previous carrying value of its investments recognized in stockholders’ equity as of November 5, 2021, the date of the Woodstar Fund’s change in status to an investment company. Because we are the primary beneficiary of the Woodstar Fund, which is a VIE (as discussed in Note 15), we consolidate the accounts of the Woodstar Fund into our consolidated financial statements, retaining the fair value basis of accounting for its investments. Realized and unrealized changes in the fair value of the Woodstar Fund’s property investments, and distributions thereon, are recognized in the “Income from affordable housing fund investments” caption within the other income (loss) section of our condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022. See Note 7 for further details regarding the Woodstar Fund’s investments and related income and Note 17 with respect to its contingently redeemable non-controlling interests which are classified as “Temporary Equity” in our condensed consolidated balance sheets.
Revenue Recognition
Interest Income
Interest income on performing loans and financial instruments is accrued based on the outstanding principal amount and contractual terms of the instrument. For loans where we do not elect the fair value option, origination fees and direct loan origination costs are also recognized in interest income over the loan term as a yield adjustment using the effective interest method. When we elect the fair value option, origination fees and direct loan costs are recorded directly in income and are not deferred. Discounts or premiums associated with the purchase of non-performing loans and investment securities are amortized or accreted into interest income as a yield adjustment on the effective interest method, based on expected cash flows through the expected maturity date of the investment. On at least a quarterly basis, we review and, if appropriate, make adjustments to our cash flow projections.
We cease accruing interest on non-performing loans at the earlier of (i) the loan becoming significantly past due or (ii) management concluding that a full recovery of all interest and principal is doubtful. Interest income on non-accrual loans in which management expects a full recovery of the loan’s outstanding principal balance is only recognized when received in cash. If a full recovery of principal is doubtful, the cost recovery method is applied whereby any cash received is applied to the outstanding principal balance of the loan. A non-accrual loan is returned to accrual status at such time as the loan becomes contractually current and management believes all future principal and interest will be received according to the contractual loan terms.
For loans acquired with deteriorated credit quality, interest income is only recognized to the extent that our estimate of undiscounted expected principal and interest exceeds our investment in the loan. Such excess, if any, is recognized as interest income on a level-yield basis over the life of the loan.

Tab
le of Co
ntents
Upon the sale of loans or securities which are not accounted for pursuant to the fair value option, the excess (or deficiency) of net proceeds over the net carrying value of such loans or securities is recognized as a realized gain (loss).
Servicing Fees
We typically seek to be the special servicer on CMBS transactions in which we invest. When we are appointed to serve in this capacity, we earn special servicing fees from the related activities performed, which consist primarily of overseeing the workout of under-performing and non-performing loans underlying the CMBS transactions. These fees are recognized in income in the period in which the services are performed and the revenue recognition criteria have been met.
Rental Income
Rental income is recognized when earned from tenants. For leases that provide rent concessions or fixed escalations over the lease term, rental income is recognized on a straight-line basis over the noncancelable term of the lease. In net lease arrangements, costs reimbursable from tenants are recognized in rental income in the period in which the related expenses are incurred as we are generally the primary obligor with respect to purchasing goods and services for property operations. In instances where the tenant is responsible for property maintenance and repairs and contracts and settles such costs directly with third party service providers, we do not reflect those expenses in our consolidated statement of operations as the tenant is the primary obligor.
Foreign Currency Translation
Our assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars using foreign currency exchange rates at the end of the reporting period. Income and expenses are translated at the average exchange rates for each reporting period. The effects of translating the assets, liabilities and income of our foreign investments held by entities with a U.S. dollar functional currency are included in foreign currency gain (loss) in the consolidated statements of operations or other comprehensive income (“OCI”) for debt securities available-for-sale for which the fair value option has not been elected. The effects of translating the assets, liabilities and income of our foreign investments held by entities with functional currencies other than the U.S. dollar are included in OCI. Realized foreign currency gains and losses and changes in the value of foreign currency denominated monetary assets and liabilities are included in the determination of net income and are reported as foreign currency gain (loss) in our condensed consolidated statements of operations.
Earnings Per Share
We present both basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) amounts in our financial statements. Basic EPS excludes dilution and is computed by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS reflects the maximum potential dilution that could occur from (i) our share-based compensation, consisting of unvested restricted stock awards (“RSAs”) and restricted stock units (“RSUs”), (ii) shares contingently issuable to our Manager, (iii) the conversion options associated with our senior convertible notes (the “Convertible Notes”) (see Notes 11 and 18) and (iv) non-controlling interests that are redeemable with our common stock (see Note 17). Potential dilutive shares are excluded from the calculation if they have an anti-dilutive effect in the period.
Nearly all of the Company’s unvested RSUs and RSAs contain rights to receive non-forfeitable dividends and thus are participating securities. In addition, the non-controlling interests that are redeemable with our common stock are considered participating securities because they earn a preferred return indexed to the dividend rate on our common stock (see Note 17). Due to the existence of these participating securities, the two-class method of computing EPS is required, unless another method is determined to be more dilutive. Under the two-class method, undistributed earnings are reallocated between shares of common stock and participating securities. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, the two-class method resulted in the most dilutive EPS calculation.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. The most significant and subjective estimate that we make is the projection of cash flows we expect to receive on our investments, which has a significant impact on the amount of income that we record and/or disclose. The fair value of assets and liabilities that are estimated using a discounted cash flows method is significantly impacted by the rates at which we estimate market participants
17
Tab
le of Co
ntents
would discount the expected cash flows. Amounts ultimately realized from our investments may vary significantly from the fair values presented.
We believe the estimates and assumptions underlying our consolidated financial statements are reasonable and supportable based on the information available as of September 30, 2022.
Actual results may ultimately differ from those estimates.
Recent Accounting Developments
On March 12, 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04,
Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) – Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting,
and on January 11, 2021, issued ASU 2021-01,
Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) – Scope,
both of which provide optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions that reference LIBOR or other reference rates expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. These ASUs are effective through December 31, 2022. The Company has not adopted any of the optional expedients or exceptions through September 30, 2022, but will continue to evaluate the possible adoption of any such expedients or exceptions during the effective period as circumstances evolve.
On March 31, 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-2,
Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures (Topic 326)
. ASU 2022-2 eliminates the recognition and measurement guidance for troubled debt restructurings (“TDRs”) and, instead, requires that an entity evaluate (consistent with the accounting for other loan modifications) whether the modification represents a new loan or a continuation of an existing loan. The ASU also enhances existing disclosure requirements and introduces new requirements related to certain modifications of receivables made to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty. The ASU is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2023 and is generally to be applied prospectively. Early adoption is permitted. We do not expect the application of this ASU to materially impact our consolidated financial statements as our operating practice is generally not to enter into TDRs for troubled loans.

Credit Loss Allowances
As discussed in Note 2, we do not have a history of realized credit losses on our HFI loans and HTM securities, so we have subscribed to third party database services to provide us with industry losses for both commercial real estate and infrastructure loans. Using these losses as a benchmark, we determine expected credit losses for our loans and securities on a collective basis within our commercial real estate and infrastructure portfolios.
For our commercial loans, we utilize a loan loss model that is widely used among banks and commercial mortgage REITs and is marketed by a leading CMBS data analytics provider. It employs logistic regression to forecast expected losses at the loan level based on a commercial real estate loan securitization database that contains activity dating back to 1998. We provide specific loan-level inputs which include loan-to-stabilized-value (“LTV”) and debt service coverage ratio (DSCR) metrics, as well as principal balances, property type, location, coupon, origination year, term, subordination, expected repayment dates and future fundings. We also select from a group of independent five-year macroeconomic forecasts included in the model that are updated regularly based on current economic trends. We categorize the results by LTV range, which we consider the most significant indicator of credit quality for our commercial loans, as set forth in the credit quality indicator table below. A lower LTV ratio typically indicates a lower credit loss risk.
The macroeconomic forecasts do not differentiate among property types or asset classes. Instead, these forecasts reference general macroeconomic growth factors which apply broadly across all assets. For instance, although the office sector has been adversely affected by the increase in remote working arrangements, the broad macroeconomic forecasts do not account for such differentiation. Accordingly, we have selected a more adverse macroeconomic recovery forecast related to office properties in determining our credit loss allowance.
For our infrastructure loans, we utilize a database of historical infrastructure loan performance that is shared among a consortium of banks and other lenders and compiled by a major bond credit rating agency. The database is representative of industry-wide project finance activity dating back to 1983. We derive historical loss rates from the database filtered by industry, sub-industry, term and construction status for each of our infrastructure loans. Those historical loss rates reflect global
20
Tab
le of Co
ntents
economic cycles over a long period of time as well as average recovery rates. We categorize the results between the power and oil and gas industries, which we consider the most significant indicator of credit quality for our infrastructure loans, as set forth in the credit quality indicator table below.
As discussed in Note 2, we use a discounted cash flow or collateral value approach, rather than the industry loan loss approach described above, to determine credit loss allowances for any credit deteriorated loans.
We regularly evaluate the extent and impact of any credit deterioration associated with the performance and/or value of the underlying collateral, as well as the financial and operating capability of the borrower. Specifically, the collateral’s operating results and any cash reserves are analyzed and used to assess (i) whether cash flow from operations is sufficient to cover the debt service requirements currently and into the future, (ii) the ability of the borrower to refinance the loan and/or (iii) the collateral’s liquidation value. We also evaluate the financial wherewithal of any loan guarantors as well as the borrower’s competency in managing and operating the collateral. In addition, we consider the overall economic environment, real estate or industry sector, and geographic sub-market in which the borrower operates. Such analyses are completed and reviewed by asset management and finance personnel who utilize various data sources, including (i) periodic financial data such as property operating statements, occupancy, tenant profile, rental rates, operating expenses, the borrower’s exit plan, and capitalization and discount rates, (ii) site inspections and (iii) current credit spreads and discussions with market participants.

As of September 30, 2022, approximately $
102.6
million, or
88
%, of RMBS were variable rate. We purchased all of the RMBS at a discount, a portion of which is accreted into income over the expected remaining life of the security. The majority of the income from this strategy is earned from the accretion of this accretable discount.
We have engaged a third party manager who specializes in RMBS to execute the trading of RMBS, the cost of which was $
0.2
million and $
0.3
million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, and $
0.8

As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, there were
nine
securities and
one
security, respectively, with unrealized losses reflected in the table above. After evaluating the securities, we concluded that the unrealized losses reflected above were noncredit-related and would be recovered from the securities’ estimated future cash flows. We considered a number of factors in reaching this conclusion, including that we did not intend to sell the securities, it was not considered more likely than not that we would be forced to sell the securities prior to recovering our amortized cost, and there were no material credit events that would have caused us to otherwise conclude that we would not recover our cost. Credit losses, if any, are calculated by comparing (i) the estimated future cash flows of each security discounted at the yield determined as of the initial acquisition date or, if since revised, as of the last date previously revised, to (ii) our net amortized cost basis. Significant judgment is used in projecting cash flows for our non-agency RMBS. As a result, actual income and/or credit losses could be materially different from what is currently projected and/or reported.

CMBS and RMBS, Fair Value Option
As discussed in the “Fair Value Option” section of Note 2 herein, we elect the fair value option for certain CMBS and RMBS in an effort to eliminate accounting mismatches resulting from the current or potential consolidation of securitization VIEs. As of September 30, 2022, the fair value and unpaid principal balance of CMBS where we have elected the fair value option, excluding the notional value of interest-only securities and before consolidation of securitization VIEs, were $
1.3
billion and $
2.9
billion, respectively. As of September 30, 2022, the fair value and unpaid principal balance of RMBS where we have elected the fair value option, excluding the notional value of interest-only securities and before consolidation of securitization VIEs, were $
418.5
million and $
326.3
million, respectively. The $
1.7
billion total fair value balance of CMBS and RMBS represents our economic interests in these assets. However, as a result of our consolidation of securitization VIEs, the vast majority of this fair value (all except $
20.7
million at September 30, 2022) is eliminated against VIE liabilities before arriving at our GAAP balance for fair value option investment securities.
As of September 30, 2022, $
97.1
million of our CMBS were variable rate and
none
of our RMBS were variable rate.

7.3
million principal amount of the loan plus interest. See further discussion in Note 4.

Goodwill and Intangibles
Goodwill
Goodwill is tested for impairment annually in the fourth quarter, or more frequently if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount.
Infrastructure Lending Segment
The Infrastructure Lending Segment’s goodwill of $
119.4
million at both September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 represents the excess of consideration transferred over the fair value of net assets acquired on September 19, 2018 and October 15, 2018. The goodwill recognized is attributable to value embedded in the acquired Infrastructure Lending Segment’s lending platform.
LNR Property LLC (“LNR”)
The Investing and Servicing Segment’s goodwill of $
140.4
million at both September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 represents the excess of consideration transferred over the fair value of net assets of LNR acquired on April 19, 2013. The goodwill recognized is attributable to value embedded in LNR’s existing platform, which includes a network of commercial real estate asset managers, work-out specialists, underwriters and administrative support professionals as well as proprietary historical performance data on commercial real estate assets.
Intangible Assets
Servicing Rights Intangibles
In connection with the LNR acquisition, we identified domestic servicing rights that existed at the purchase date, based upon the expected future cash flows of the associated servicing contracts. As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the balance of the domestic servicing intangible was net of $
41.6
million and $
42.1
million, respectively, which was eliminated in consolidation pursuant to ASC 810 against VIE assets in connection with our consolidation of securitization VIEs. Before VIE consolidation, as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the domestic servicing intangible had a balance of $
59.6
million and $
58.9
million, respectively, which represents our economic interest in this asset.
Lease Intangibles
In connection with our acquisitions of commercial real estate, we recognized in-place lease intangible assets and favorable lease intangible assets associated with certain non-cancelable operating leases of the acquired properties.
The following table summarizes our intangible assets, which are comprised of servicing rights intangibles and lease intangibles, as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 (amounts in thousands):

The above table no longer reflects property mortgages of the Woodstar Portfolios which, as discussed in Notes 2 and 7, are now reflected within “Investments of consolidated affordable housing fund” on our condensed consolidated balance sheets.
In the normal course of business, the Company is in discussions with its lenders to extend, amend or replace any financing facilities which contain near term expirations.
In March 2022, we amended a Residential Loans credit facility to increase the available borrowings to $
500.0
million from $
250.0
million and extend the initial maturity for
18
months to March 2024 with a
three-year
extension option. The margin call provisions under this facility do not permit valuation adjustments based on capital market events and are limited to collateral-specific credit marks.
In June 2022, we entered into a credit facility to finance loans within the Infrastructure Lending Segment. The maximum facility size is $
500.0
million and carries a
three-year
revolving period with
two
one-year
extension options. The margin call provisions under this facility do not permit valuation adjustments based on capital market events and are limited to collateral-specific credit marks.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, we entered into commercial credit facilities of $
1.4
billion. In addition, we amended several commercial credit facilities resulting in an aggregate net upsize of $
974.7
million.
Our secured financing agreements contain certain financial tests and covenants. As of September 30, 2022, we were in compliance with all such covenants.
We seek to mitigate risks associated with our repurchase agreements by managing risk related to the credit quality of our assets, interest rates, liquidity, prepayment speeds and market value. The margin call provisions under the majority of our repurchase facilities, consisting of
71
% of these agreements, do not permit valuation adjustments based on capital market events and are limited to collateral-specific credit marks generally determined on a commercially reasonable basis. To monitor credit risk associated with the performance and value of our loans and investments, our asset management team regularly reviews our investment portfolios and is in regular contact with our borrowers, monitoring performance of the collateral and enforcing our rights as necessary. For the
29
% of repurchase agreements which do permit valuation adjustments based on capital market events, approximately
7
% of these pertain to our loans held-for-sale, for which we manage credit risk through the purchase of credit instruments. We further seek to manage risks associated with our repurchase agreements by matching the maturities and interest rate characteristics of our loans with the related repurchase agreement.
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, approximately $
9.5
million and $
28.3
million, respectively, of amortization of deferred financing costs from secured financing agreements was included in interest expense on our condensed consolidated statements of operations. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, approximately $
8.6
million and $
26.9
million, respectively, of amortization of deferred financing costs from secured financing agreements was included in interest expense on our condensed consolidated statements of operations.
As of September 30, 2022, Morgan Stanley Bank, N.A. held collateral sold under certain of our repurchase agreements with carrying values that exceeded the respective repurchase obligations by $
694.6
million. The weighted average extended maturity of those repurchase agreements is
3.8

Loan Securitization/Sale Activities
As described below, we regularly sell loans and notes under various strategies. We evaluate such sales as to whether they meet the criteria for treatment as a sale—legal isolation, ability of transferee to pledge or exchange the transferred assets without constraint and transfer of control.
Loan Securitizations
Within the Investing and Servicing Segment, we originate commercial mortgage loans with the intent to sell these mortgage loans to VIEs for the purposes of securitization. These VIEs then issue CMBS that are collateralized in part by these assets, as well as other assets transferred to the VIE by third parties. Within the Commercial and Residential Lending Segment, we acquire residential loans with the intent to sell these mortgage loans to VIEs for the purpose of securitization. These VIEs then issue RMBS that are collateralized by these assets.
In certain instances, we retain an interest in the CMBS or RMBS VIE and serve as special servicer or servicing administrator for the VIE. In these circumstances, we generally consolidate the VIE into which the loans were sold. The securitizations are subject to optional redemption after a certain period of time or when the pool balance falls below a specified threshold.
The following summarizes the face amount and proceeds of commercial and residential loans securitized for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 (amounts in thousands):

The securitization of these commercial and residential loans does not result in a discrete gain or loss since they are carried under the fair value option.
Our securitizations have each been structured as bankruptcy-remote entities whose assets are not intended to be available to the creditors of any other party.
Commercial and Residential Loan Sales
Within the Commercial and Residential Lending Segment, we originate or acquire commercial mortgage loans, subsequently selling all or a portion thereof. Typically, our motivation for entering into these transactions is to effectively create leverage on the subordinated position that we will retain and hold for investment. We also may sell certain of our previously-acquired residential loans to third parties outside a securitization.

In February 2022, we sold $
745.0
million of agency-eligible residential loans at face amount which was subject to a post-closing contingent sales price adjustment based on the gain or loss to the purchaser/securitization underwriter, less underwriting costs, if those loans were sold into a future securitization. Given spread widening which occurred in the residential markets since the initial sale, in lieu of the buyer executing a securitization or sale of the loans, we entered into a forward settlement agreement to acquire the remaining balance of these loans at par in June 2022. The loan purchase was subject to a financing contingency, whereby the seller was to provide us financing under a mutually agreed repurchase agreement within
120
days. If such mutually agreed financing was not completed, we would not be obligated to complete the forward settlement, and the previous post-closing contingency referenced above would have been reinstated. In October 2022, the seller provided us financing under a mutually agreed repurchase agreement and the forward settlement was completed. As of September 30, 2022, we estimated the amount of the future securitization contingency to be $
88.4
million based on the fair market value of the loans at this date. As a result, we recorded a contingency loss of $
55.7
million and $
88.4
million within other loss, net in the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively.
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, losses recognized by the Commercial and Residential Lending Segment on sales of commercial loans were $

Derivatives and Hedging Activity
Risk Management Objective of Using Derivatives
We are exposed to certain risks arising from both our business operations and economic conditions. Refer to Note 14 to the consolidated financial statements included in our Form 10-K for further discussion of our risk management objectives and policies.
Designated Hedges
The Company does not generally elect to apply the hedge accounting designation to its hedging instruments. As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company did not have any designated hedges.
Non-designated Hedges and Derivatives
We have entered into the following types of non-designated hedges and derivatives:
•
Foreign exchange (“Fx”) forwards whereby we agree to buy or sell a specified amount of foreign currency for a specified amount of USD at a future date, economically fixing the USD amounts of foreign denominated cash flows we expect to receive or pay related to certain foreign denominated loan investments;
•
Interest rate contracts which hedge a portion of our exposure to changes in interest rates;
•
Credit instruments which hedge a portion of our exposure to the credit risk of our commercial loans held-for-sale; and
•
Interest rate swap guarantees whereby we guarantee the interest rate swap obligations of certain Infrastructure Lending borrowers. Our interest rate swap guarantees were assumed in connection with the acquisition of the Infrastructure Lending Segment.

Variable Interest Entities
Investment Securities
As discussed in Note 2, we evaluate all of our investments and other interests in entities for consolidation, including our investments in CMBS, RMBS and our retained interests in securitization transactions we initiated, all of which are generally considered to be variable interests in VIEs.
Securitization VIEs consolidated in accordance with ASC 810 are structured as pass through entities that receive principal and interest on the underlying collateral and distribute those payments to the certificate holders. The assets and other instruments held by these securitization entities are restricted and can only be used to fulfill the obligations of the entity. Additionally, the obligations of the securitization entities do not have any recourse to the general credit of any other consolidated entities, nor to us as the primary beneficiary. The VIE liabilities initially represent investment securities on our balance sheet (pre-consolidation). Upon consolidation of these VIEs, our associated investment securities are eliminated, as is the interest income related to those securities. Similarly, the fees we earn in our roles as special servicer of the bonds issued by the consolidated VIEs or as collateral administrator of the consolidated VIEs are also eliminated. Finally, a portion of the identified servicing intangible associated with the eliminated fee streams is eliminated in consolidation.
VIEs in which we are the Primary Beneficiary
The inclusion of the assets and liabilities of securitization VIEs in which we are deemed the primary beneficiary has no economic effect on us. Our exposure to the obligations of securitization VIEs is generally limited to our investment in these entities. We are not obligated to provide, nor have we provided, any financial support for any of these consolidated structures.
As discussed in Note 10, we have refinanced various pools of our commercial and infrastructure loans held-for-investment through
five
CLOs and
one
SASB, which are considered to be VIEs. We are the primary beneficiary of, and therefore consolidate, the CLOs and SASB in our financial statements as we have both (i) the power to direct the activities in our role as collateral manager, collateral advisor, or controlling class representative that most significantly impact the CLOs’ and SASB's economic performance, and (ii) the obligation to absorb losses and the right to receive benefits from the CLOs and SASB that could be potentially significant through the subordinate interests we own.

Assets held by the CLOs and SASB are restricted and can be used only to settle obligations of the CLOs and SASB, including the subordinate interests owned by us. The liabilities of the CLOs and SASB are non-recourse to us and can only be satisfied from the assets of the CLOs and SASB.
We also hold controlling interests in other non-securitization entities that are considered VIEs. The Woodstar Fund, Woodstar Feeder Fund, L.P. and one of the Woodstar Fund’s indirect investees, SPT Dolphin Intermediate LLC (“SPT Dolphin”), the entity which holds the Woodstar II Portfolio, are each VIEs because the third party interest holders do not carry kick-out rights or substantive participating rights. We were deemed to be the primary beneficiary of those VIEs because we possess both the power to direct the activities of the VIEs that most significantly impact their economic performance and a significant economic interest in each entity. The Woodstar Fund had total assets of $
1.7
billion, including its indirect investment in SPT Dolphin, and
no
significant liabilities as of September 30, 2022. As of September 30, 2022, Woodstar Feeder Fund, L.P. and its consolidated subsidiary which is also considered a VIE, Woodstar Feeder REIT, LLC, had a $
0.5
billion investment in the Woodstar Fund, had
no
significant liabilities and had temporary equity of $
0.3
billion consisting of the contingently redeemable non-controlling interests of the third party investors (see Note 17).
We also hold a
51
% controlling interest in a joint venture (the “CMBS JV”) within our Investing and Servicing Segment, which is considered a VIE because the third party interest holder does not carry kick-out rights or substantive participating rights. We are deemed the primary beneficiary of the CMBS JV. This VIE had total assets of $
369.5
million and liabilities of $
89.0
million as of September 30, 2022. Refer to Note 17 for further discussion.
In addition to the above non-securitization entities, we have smaller VIEs with total assets of $
76.6
million and liabilities of $
34.4
million as of September 30, 2022.
VIEs in which we are not the Primary Beneficiary
In certain instances, we hold a variable interest in a VIE in the form of CMBS, but either (i) we are not appointed, or do not serve as, special servicer or servicing administrator or (ii) an unrelated third party has the rights to unilaterally remove us as special servicer without cause. In these instances, we do not have the power to direct activities that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance. In other cases, the variable interest we hold does not obligate us to absorb losses or provide us with the right to receive benefits from the VIE which could potentially be significant. For these structures, we are not deemed to be the primary beneficiary of the VIE, and we do not consolidate these VIEs.
As noted above, we are not obligated to provide, nor have we provided, any financial support for any of our securitization VIEs, whether or not we are deemed to be the primary beneficiary. As such, the risk associated with our involvement in these VIEs is limited to the carrying value of our investment in the entity. As of September 30, 2022, our maximum risk of loss related to securitization VIEs in which we were not the primary beneficiary was $
20.7
million on a fair value basis.
As of September 30, 2022, the securitization VIEs which we do not consolidate had debt obligations to beneficial interest holders with unpaid principal balances, excluding the notional value of interest-only securities, of $
4.7
billion. The
43
Tab
le of Co
ntents
corresponding assets are comprised primarily of commercial mortgage loans with unpaid principal balances corresponding to the amounts of the outstanding debt obligations.
We also hold passive non-controlling interests in certain unconsolidated entities that are considered VIEs. We are not the primary beneficiaries of these VIEs as we do not possess the power to direct the activities of the VIEs that most significantly impact their economic performance and therefore report our interests, which totaled $
11.9
million as of September 30, 2022, within investments in unconsolidated entities on our consolidated balance sheet. Our maximum risk of loss is limited to our carrying value of the investments.

We are party to a management agreement (the “Management Agreement”) with our Manager. Under the Management Agreement, our Manager, subject to the oversight of our board of directors, is required to manage our day to day activities, for which our Manager receives a base management fee and is eligible for an incentive fee and stock awards. Our Manager’s personnel perform certain due diligence, legal, management and other services that outside professionals or consultants would otherwise perform. As such, in accordance with the terms of our Management Agreement, our Manager is paid or reimbursed for the documented costs of performing such tasks, provided that such costs and reimbursements are in amounts no greater than those which would be payable to outside professionals or consultants engaged to perform such services pursuant to agreements negotiated on an arm’s-length basis. Refer to Note 17 to the consolidated financial statements included in our Form 10-K for further discussion of this agreement.

Manager Equity Plan
In April 2022, the Company’s shareholders approved the Starwood Property Trust, Inc. 2022 Manager Equity Plan (the “2022 Manager Equity Plan”) which replaces the Starwood Property Trust, Inc. 2017 Manager Equity Plan (the “2017 Manager Equity Plan”). In November 2020, we granted
1,800,000
RSUs to our Manager under the 2017 Manager Equity Plan. In September 2019, we granted
1,200,000
RSUs to our Manager under the 2017 Manager Equity Plan. In April 2018, we granted
775,000
RSUs to our Manager under the 2017 Manager Equity Plan. In connection with these grants and prior similar grants, we recognized share-based compensation expense of $
4.5
million within management fees in our condensed consolidated statements of operations for both the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, we recognized $
13.5
million and $
14.9
million, respectively, related to these awards. Refer to Note 17 for further discussion.
Investments in Loans and Securities
In March 2022, we originated a new loan on the development and recapitalization of luxury rental cabins with a total commitment of $
200.0
million, of which $
120.4
million was outstanding as of September 30, 2022. The loan bears interest at SOFR +
6.50
% plus fees and has a term of
24
months with
three
one-year
extension options. The proceeds were partially used to repay an existing $
99.0
million first mortgage loan that we originated in February 2020. Certain members of our executive team and board of directors own equity interests in the borrower.
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company acquired $
118.9
million and $
1.1
billion, respectively, of loans from a residential mortgage originator in which it holds an equity interest. Additionally, as of September 30, 2022, the Company had outstanding residential mortgage loan purchase commitments of $
51.6
million to this residential mortgage originator. Refer to Note 8 for further discussion.

4.4
million from the sale of loans to the residential mortgage originator.
No
proceeds were received from the sale of loans to the residential mortgage originator during the three months ended September 30, 2022.
Lease Arrangements
In March 2020, we entered into an office lease agreement with an entity which is controlled by our Chairman and CEO through majority equity ownership of the entity. The leased premises serve as our new Miami Beach office following the expiration of our former lease in Miami Beach. The lease, as amended in September 2022, is for
64,424
square feet of office space, commenced July 1, 2022 and has an initial term of
15
years from the monthly lease payment commencement date of November 1, 2022. The lease payments are based on an annual base rate of $
52.00
per square foot that increases by
3
% each anniversary following commencement, plus our pro rata share of building operating expenses. Prior to the execution of this lease, we engaged an independent third party leasing firm and external counsel to advise the independent directors of our board of directors on market terms for the lease. The terms of the lease and subsequent amendment were approved by our independent directors. In April 2020, we provided a $
1.9
million cash security deposit to the landlord. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, we made payments to the landlord of $
1.0
million and $
2.9
million, respectively, for reimbursements relating to tenant improvements under the terms of the lease. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, we recognized $
1.0
million of rent expense with respect to this lease within general and administrative expenses in our condensed consolidated statements of operations. Upon the July 1, 2022 commencement of the lease, we recorded a $
29.8
million right-of-use asset and corresponding lease liability within “Other assets” and “Accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities,” respectively, on our condensed consolidated balance sheet representing the present value of the minimum required lease payments over the term of the lease.

Sales of shares under the ATM Agreement are made by means of ordinary brokers’ transactions on the New York Stock Exchange or otherwise at market prices prevailing at the time of sale or at negotiated prices. The ATM Agreement replaces a similar agreement previously entered into in May 2014 with Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner and Smith Incorporated.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, shares issued under the Starwood Property Trust, Inc. Dividend Reinvestment and Direct Stock Purchase Plan (the “DRIP Plan”) were not material.
Employee Stock Purchase Plan
In April 2022, the Company’s shareholders approved the Starwood Property Trust, Inc. Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “ESPP”) which allows eligible employees to purchase common stock of the Company at a discounted purchase price. The discounted purchase price of a share of the Company's common stock is
85
% of the fair market value (closing market price) at the lower of the beginning or the end of the quarterly offering period. Participants may purchase shares not exceeding an aggregate fair market value of $
25,000
in any calendar year. The maximum aggregate number of shares subject to issuance in accordance with the ESPP is
2,000,000
shares.
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022,
34,625
shares of common stock were purchased by participants at a discounted purchase price of $
18.04
per share. The Company recognized $
0.1
million of compensation expense related to its ESPP during such periods based on the estimated fair value of the discounted purchase options granted to the participants as of the beginning of the quarterly offering period determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.
As of September 30, 2022, there were
2.0
million shares of common stock available for future issuance through the ESPP.
Equity Plans
In April 2022, the Company’s shareholders approved the 2022 Manager Equity Plan and the Starwood Property Trust, Inc. 2022 Equity Plan (the “2022 Equity Plan”), which allow for the issuance of up to
18,700,000
stock options, stock appreciation rights, RSAs, RSUs or other equity-based awards or any combination thereof to the Manager, directors, employees, consultants or any other party providing services to the Company. The 2022 Manager Equity Plan succeeds and replaces the 2017 Manager Equity Plan and the 2022 Equity Plan succeeds and replaces the Starwood Property Trust, Inc. 2017 Equity Plan (the “2017 Equity Plan”).

Non-Controlling Interests in Consolidated Subsidiaries
As discussed in Note 2, on November 5, 2021 we sold a
20.6
% non-controlling interest in the Woodstar Fund to third party investors for net cash proceeds of $
214.2
million. Under the Woodstar Fund operating agreement, such interests are contingently redeemable by us, at the option of the interest holder, for cash at liquidation fair value if any assets remain upon termination of the Woodstar Fund. The Woodstar Fund operating agreement specifies an
eight-year
term with
two
one-year
extension options, the first at our option and the second subject to consent of an advisory committee representing the non-controlling interest holders. Accordingly, these contingently redeemable non-controlling interests have been classified as “Temporary Equity” in our condensed consolidated balance sheets and represent the fair value of the Woodstar Fund’s net assets allocable to those interests. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, net income attributable to these non-controlling interests was $
23.8
million and $
134.3
million, respectively.
In connection with our Woodstar II Portfolio acquisitions, we issued
10.2
million Class A Units in our subsidiary, SPT Dolphin, and rights to receive an additional
1.9
million Class A Units if certain contingent events occur. As of September 30, 2022, all of the
1.9
million contingent Class A Units were issued. The Class A Units are redeemable for consideration equal to the current share price of the Company’s common stock on a
one
-for-one basis, with the consideration paid in either cash or the Company’s common stock, at the determination of the Company. There were
9.8
million Class A Units outstanding as of September 30, 2022. The outstanding Class A Units are reflected as non-controlling interests in consolidated subsidiaries on our consolidated balance sheets, the balance of which was $
208.5
million as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.
To the extent SPT Dolphin has sufficient cash available, the Class A Units earn a preferred return indexed to the dividend rate of the Company’s common stock. Any distributions made pursuant to this waterfall are recognized within net income attributable to non-controlling interests in our condensed consolidated statements of operations. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, we recognized net income attributable to non-controlling interests of $
4.7
million and $
14.1
million, respectively, associated with these Class A Units. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, we recognized net income attributable to non-controlling interests of $
4.7
million and $
14.7
million, respectively, associated with these Class A Units.
As discussed in Note 15, we hold a
51
% controlling interest in the CMBS JV within our Investing and Servicing Segment. Because the CMBS JV is deemed a VIE for which we are the primary beneficiary, the
49
% interest of our joint venture partner is reflected as a non-controlling interest in consolidated subsidiaries on our condensed consolidated balance sheets, and any net income attributable to this
49
% joint venture interest is reflected within net income attributable to non-
47

controlling interests in our condensed consolidated statement of operations. The non-controlling interests in the CMBS JV were $
146.6
million and $
131.9
million as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, net (loss) income attributable to these non-controlling interests was $(
0.4

4.5
million, respectively. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, net income attributable to these non-controlling interests was $

Fair Value
GAAP establishes a hierarchy of valuation techniques based on the observability of inputs utilized in measuring financial assets and liabilities at fair value. GAAP establishes market-based or observable inputs as the preferred source of values, followed by valuation models using management assumptions in the absence of market inputs. The three levels of the hierarchy are described below:
Level I
—Inputs are unadjusted, quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date.
Level II
—Inputs (other than quoted prices included in Level I) are either directly or indirectly observable for the asset or liability through correlation with market data at the measurement date and for the duration of the instrument’s anticipated life.
Level III
—Inputs reflect management’s best estimate of what market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date. Consideration is given to the risk inherent in the valuation technique and the risk inherent in the inputs to the model.
Valuation Process
We have valuation control processes in place to validate the fair value of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value including those derived from pricing models. These control processes are designed to assure that the values used for financial reporting are based on observable inputs wherever possible. In the event that observable inputs are not available, the control processes are designed to assure that the valuation approach utilized is appropriate and consistently applied and the assumptions are reasonable.
Pricing Verification
—We use recently executed transactions, other observable market data such as exchange data, broker/dealer quotes, third party pricing vendors and aggregation services for validating the fair values generated using valuation models. Pricing data provided by approved external sources is evaluated using a number of approaches; for example, by corroborating the external sources’ prices to executed trades, analyzing the methodology and assumptions used by the external source to generate a price and/or by evaluating how active the third party pricing source (or originating sources used by the third party pricing source) is in the market.
Unobservable Inputs
—Where inputs are not observable, we review the appropriateness of the proposed valuation methodology to ensure it is consistent with how a market participant would arrive at the unobservable input. The valuation methodologies utilized in the absence of observable inputs may include extrapolation techniques and the use of comparable observable inputs.
Any changes to the valuation methodology will be reviewed by our management to ensure the changes are appropriate. The methods used may produce a fair value calculation that is not indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values. Furthermore, while we anticipate that our valuation methods are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, the use of different methodologies, or assumptions, to determine the fair value could result in a different estimate of fair value at the reporting date.
Fair Value on a Recurring Basis
We determine the fair value of our financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as follows:
Loans held-for-sale, commercial
We measure the fair value of our commercial mortgage loans held-for-sale using a discounted cash flow analysis unless observable market data (i.e., securitized pricing) is available. A discounted cash flow analysis requires management to make estimates regarding future interest rates and credit spreads. The most significant of these inputs relates to credit spreads and is unobservable. Thus, we have determined that the fair values of mortgage loans valued using a discounted cash flow analysis should be classified in Level III of the fair value hierarchy, while mortgage loans valued using securitized pricing should be classified in Level II of the fair value hierarchy. Mortgage loans classified in Level III are transferred to Level II if securitized pricing becomes available.
50
Tab
le of Co
ntents
Loans held-for-sale and loans held-for-investment, residential
We measure the fair value of our residential loans held-for-sale and held-for-investment based on the net present value of expected future cash flows using a combination of observable and unobservable inputs. Observable market participant assumptions include pricing related to trades of residential loans with similar characteristics. Unobservable inputs include the expectation of future cash flows, which involves judgments about the underlying collateral, the creditworthiness of the borrower, estimated prepayment speeds, estimated future credit losses, forward interest rates, investor yield requirements and certain other factors. At each measurement date, we consider both the observable and unobservable valuation inputs in the determination of fair value. However, given the significance of the unobservable inputs, these loans have been classified within Level III.
RMBS
RMBS are valued utilizing observable and unobservable market inputs. The observable market inputs include recent transactions, broker quotes and vendor prices (“market data”). However, given the implied price dispersion amongst the market data, the fair value determination for RMBS has also utilized significant unobservable inputs in discounted cash flow models including prepayments, default and severity estimates based on the recent performance of the collateral, the underlying collateral characteristics, industry trends, as well as expectations of macroeconomic events (e.g., housing price curves, interest rate curves, etc.). At each measurement date, we consider both the observable and unobservable valuation inputs in the determination of fair value. However, given the significance of the unobservable inputs these securities have been classified within Level III.
CMBS
CMBS are valued utilizing both observable and unobservable market inputs. These factors include projected future cash flows, ratings, subordination levels, vintage, remaining lives, credit issues, recent trades of similar securities and the spreads used in the prior valuation. We obtain current market spread information where available and use this information in evaluating and validating the market price of all CMBS. Depending upon the significance of the fair value inputs used in determining these fair values, these securities are classified in either Level II or Level III of the fair value hierarchy. CMBS may shift between Level II and Level III of the fair value hierarchy if the significant fair value inputs used to price the CMBS become or cease to be observable.
Equity security
The equity security is publicly registered and traded in the U.S. and its market price is listed on the London Stock Exchange. The security has been classified within Level I.
Woodstar Fund Investments
The fair value of investments held by the Woodstar Fund is determined based on observable and unobservable market inputs. The initial fair value of the Woodstar Fund's investments at its November 5, 2021 establishment date was determined by reference to the purchase price paid by third party investors, which was consistent with both a recent external appraisal as well as our extensive marketing efforts to sell interests in the Woodstar Fund, plus working capital.
For the properties, the third party appraisal applied the income capitalization approach with corroborative support from the sales comparison approach. The cost approach was not employed, as it is typically not emphasized by potential investors in the multifamily affordable housing sector. The income capitalization approach estimates an income stream for a property over a
10-year
period and discounts this income plus a reversion (presumed sale) into a present value at a risk adjusted discount rate. Terminal capitalization rates and discount rates utilized in this approach are derived from market transactions as well as other financial and industry data.
For secured financing, the third party appraisal discounted the contractual cash flows at the interest rate at which such arrangements would bear if executed in the current market. The fair value of investment level working capital is assumed to approximate carrying value due to its primarily short-term monetary nature. The fair value of interest rate derivatives is determined using the methodology described in the
Derivatives
discussion below.
Internal valuations at interim quarter ends are prepared by management. The valuation of properties is based on a direct income capitalization approach, whereby a direct capitalization market rate is applied to annualized in-place net operating income at the portfolio level. The direct capitalization rate is initially calibrated to the implied rate from the latest appraisal and
51
Tab
le of Co
ntents
adjusted for subsequent changes in current market capitalization rates for sales of comparable multifamily properties. The valuations of secured financing agreements, working capital and interest rate derivatives are consistent with the methodologies described in the paragraph above.
Given the significance of the unobservable inputs used in the respective valuations, the Woodstar Fund’s investments have been classified within Level III of the fair value hierarchy.
Domestic servicing rights
The fair value of this intangible is determined using discounted cash flow modeling techniques which require management to make estimates regarding future net servicing cash flows, including forecasted loan defeasance, control migration, delinquency and anticipated maturity defaults which are calculated assuming a debt yield at which default occurs. Since the most significant of these inputs are unobservable, we have determined that the fair values of this intangible in its entirety should be classified in Level III of the fair value hierarchy.
Derivatives
The valuation of derivative contracts are determined using widely accepted valuation techniques including discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of each derivative. This analysis reflects the contractual terms of the derivatives, including the period to maturity, and uses observable market based inputs, including interest rate curves, spot and market forward points and implied volatilities. The fair values of interest rate swaps are determined using the market standard methodology of netting the discounted future fixed cash payments and the discounted expected variable cash receipts. The variable cash receipts are based on an expectation of future interest rates (forward curves) derived from observable market interest rate curves.
We incorporate credit valuation adjustments to appropriately reflect both our own non-performance risk and the respective counterparty’s non-performance risk in the fair value measurements. In adjusting the fair value of our derivative contracts for the effect of non-performance risk, we have considered the impact of netting and any applicable credit enhancements, such as collateral postings, thresholds, mutual puts, and guarantees.
The valuation of over the counter derivatives are determined using discounted cash flows based on Overnight Index Swap (“OIS”) rates. Fully collateralized trades are discounted using OIS with no additional economic adjustments to arrive at fair value. Uncollateralized or partially collateralized trades are also discounted at OIS, but include appropriate economic adjustments for funding costs (i.e., a LIBOR OIS basis adjustment to approximate uncollateralized cost of funds) and credit risk. For credit instruments, fair value is determined based on changes in the relevant indices from the date of initiation of the instrument to the reporting date, as these changes determine the amount of any future cash settlement between us and the counterparty. These indices are considered Level II inputs as they are directly observable.
Although we have determined that the majority of the inputs used to value our derivatives fall within Level II of the fair value hierarchy, the credit valuation adjustments associated with our derivatives utilize Level III inputs, such as estimates of current credit spreads to evaluate the likelihood of default by us and our counterparties. However, as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we have assessed the significance of the impact of the credit valuation adjustments on the overall valuation of our derivative positions and have determined that the credit valuation adjustments are not significant to the overall valuation of our derivatives. As a result, we have determined that our derivative valuations in their entirety are classified in Level II of the fair value hierarchy.
Liabilities of consolidated VIEs
Our consolidated VIE liabilities generally represent bonds that are not owned by us. The majority of these are either traded in the marketplace or can be analogized to similar securities that are traded in the marketplace. For these liabilities, pricing is considered to be Level II, where the valuation is based upon quoted prices for similar instruments traded in active markets. We generally utilize third party pricing service providers for valuing these liabilities. In order to determine whether to utilize the valuations provided by third parties, we conduct an ongoing evaluation of their valuation methodologies and processes, as well as a review of the individual valuations themselves. In evaluating third party pricing for reasonableness, we consider a variety of factors, including market transaction information for the particular bond, market transaction information for bonds within the same trust, market transaction information for similar bonds, the bond’s ratings and the bond’s subordination levels.
52
Tab
le of Co
ntents
For the minority portion of our consolidated VIE liabilities which consist of unrated or non-investment grade bonds that are not owned by us, pricing may be either Level II or Level III. If independent third party pricing similar to that noted above is available, we consider the valuation to be Level II. If such third party pricing is not available, the valuation is generated from model-based techniques that use significant unobservable assumptions, and we consider the valuation to be Level III. For VIE liabilities classified as Level III, valuation is determined based on discounted expected future cash flows which take into consideration expected duration and yields based on market transaction information, ratings, subordination levels, vintage and current market spread. VIE liabilities may shift between Level II and Level III of the fair value hierarchy if the significant fair value inputs used to price the VIE liabilities become or cease to be observable.
Assets of consolidated VIEs
The securitization VIEs in which we invest are “static”; that is, no reinvestment is permitted, and there is no active management of the underlying assets. In determining the fair value of the assets of the VIE, we maximize the use of observable inputs over unobservable inputs. The individual assets of a VIE are inherently incapable of precise measurement given their illiquid nature and the limitations on available information related to these assets. Because our methodology for valuing these assets does not value the individual assets of a VIE, but rather uses the value of the VIE liabilities as an indicator of the fair value of VIE assets as a whole, we have determined that our valuations of VIE assets in their entirety should be classified in Level III of the fair value hierarchy.
Fair Value Only Disclosed
We determine the fair value of our financial instruments and assets where fair value is disclosed as follows:
Loans held-for-investment
We estimate the fair values of our loans not carried at fair value on a recurring basis by discounting their expected cash flows at a rate we estimate would be demanded by the market participants that are most likely to buy our loans. The expected cash flows used are generally the same as those used to calculate our level yield income in the financial statements. Since these inputs are unobservable, we have determined that the fair value of these loans in their entirety would be classified in Level III of the fair value hierarchy.
HTM debt securities
We estimate the fair value of our mandatorily redeemable preferred equity interests in commercial real estate companies and infrastructure bonds using the same methodology described for our loans held-for-investment. We estimate the fair value of our HTM CMBS using the same methodology described for our CMBS carried at fair value on a recurring basis.
Secured financing agreements, CLOs and SASB
The fair value of the secured financing agreements, CLOs and SASB are determined by discounting the contractual cash flows at the interest rate we estimate such arrangements would bear if executed in the current market. We have determined that our valuation of these instruments should be classified in Level III of the fair value hierarchy.
Unsecured senior notes
The fair value of our unsecured senior notes is determined based on the last available bid price for the respective notes in the current market. As these prices represent observable market data, we have determined that the fair value of these instruments would be classified in Level II of the fair value hierarchy.

Income Taxes
Certain of our domestic subsidiaries have elected to be treated as taxable REIT subsidiaries (“TRSs”). TRSs permit us to participate in certain activities from which REITs are generally precluded, as long as these activities meet specific criteria, are conducted within the parameters of certain limitations established by the Code and are conducted in entities which elect to be treated as taxable subsidiaries under the Code. To the extent these criteria are met, we will continue to maintain our qualification as a REIT.
Our TRSs engage in various real estate-related operations, including special servicing of commercial real estate, originating and securitizing mortgage loans, and investing in entities which engage in real estate-related operations. As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, approximately $
2.7
billion and $
3.2
billion, respectively, of assets were owned by TRS entities. Our TRSs are not consolidated for U.S. federal income tax purposes, but are instead taxed as corporations. For financial reporting purposes, a provision for current and deferred taxes is established for the portion of earnings recognized by us with respect to our interest in TRSs.
The following table is a reconciliation of our U.S. federal income tax provision determined using our statutory federal tax rate to our reported income tax provision (benefit) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 (dollars in thousands):

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, we have utilized the discrete effective tax rate method, as allowed by ASC 740-270-30-18, “Income Taxes—Interim Reporting,” to calculate our interim income tax provision. The discrete method is applied when the application of the estimated annual effective tax rate is impractical because it is not possible to reliably estimate the annual effective tax rate. The discrete method treats the year to date period as if it was the annual period and determines the income tax expense or benefit on that basis. We believe that due to market dislocation and volatility, particularly with respect to the Company's residential assets that are housed in TRSs, the use of the discrete method is more appropriate at this time than the annual effective tax rate method due to the high degree of uncertainty in estimating annual pretax earnings.

Commitments and Contingencies
As of September 30, 2022, our Commercial and Residential Lending Segment had future commercial loan funding commitments totaling $
2.8
billion, of which we expect to fund $
2.5
billion. These future funding commitments primarily relate to construction projects, capital improvements, tenant improvements and leasing commissions. Additionally, as of September 30, 2022, our Commercial and Residential Lending Segment had outstanding residential loan purchase commitments of $
51.6
million.
As discussed in Note 12, in February 2022, our Commercial and Residential Lending Segment sold $
745.0
million of agency-eligible residential loans at face amount which was subject to a post-closing contingent sales price adjustment based on the gain or loss to the purchaser/securitization underwriter, less underwriting costs, if those loans were sold into a future securitization. Given spread widening which occurred in the residential markets since the initial sale, in lieu of the buyer executing a securitization or sale of the loans, we entered into a forward settlement agreement to acquire the remaining balance of these loans at par in June 2022. The loan purchase was subject to a financing contingency, whereby the seller was to provide us financing under a mutually agreed repurchase agreement within
120
days. If such mutually agreed financing was not completed, we would not be obligated to complete the forward settlement, and the previous post-closing contingency referenced above would have been reinstated. In October 2022, the seller provided us financing under a mutually agreed repurchase agreement and the forward settlement was completed. As of September 30, 2022, we estimated the amount of the future securitization contingency to be $
88.4
million based on the fair market value of the loans at this date. As a result, we recorded a contingency loss of $
55.7
million and $
88.4
million within other loss, net in the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively.
As of September 30, 2022, our Infrastructure Lending Segment had future infrastructure loan funding commitments totaling $
138.6
million under revolvers and letters of credit (“LCs”). As of September 30, 2022, $
8.8
million of revolvers and LCs were outstanding. Additionally, as of September 30, 2022, our Infrastructure Lending Segment had outstanding loan purchase commitments of $
18.2
million.
In connection with the Infrastructure Lending Segment acquisition, we assumed guarantees of certain borrowers’ performance under existing interest rate swaps. As of September 30, 2022, we had
four
outstanding guarantees on interest rate swaps maturing between October 2022 and June 2025. Refer to Note 13 for further discussion.
Generally, funding commitments are subject to certain conditions that must be met, such as customary construction draw certifications, minimum debt service coverage ratios or executions of new leases before advances are made to the borrower.
Management is not aware of any other contractual obligations, legal proceedings, or any other contingent obligations incurred in the normal course of business that would have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial statements.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
This “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” should be read in conjunction with the information included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 (our “Form 10-K”). This discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Actual results could differ significantly from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements. See “Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” at the beginning of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Overview
Starwood Property Trust, Inc. (“STWD” and, together with its subsidiaries, “we” or the “Company”) is a Maryland corporation that commenced operations in August 2009, upon the completion of our initial public offering. We are focused primarily on originating, acquiring, financing and managing mortgage loans and other real estate investments in the United States (“U.S.”), Europe and Australia. As market conditions change over time, we may adjust our strategy to take advantage of changes in interest rates and credit spreads as well as economic and credit conditions.
We have four reportable business segments as of September 30, 2022 and we refer to the investments within these segments as our target assets:
•
Real estate commercial and residential lending (the “Commercial and Residential Lending Segment”)—engages primarily in originating, acquiring, financing and managing commercial first mortgages, non-agency residential mortgages (“residential loans”), subordinated mortgages, mezzanine loans, preferred equity, commercial mortgage-backed securities (“CMBS”), residential mortgage-backed securities (“RMBS”) and other real estate and real estate-related debt investments in the U.S., Europe and Australia (including distressed or non-performing loans). Our residential loans are secured by a first mortgage lien on residential property and primarily consist of non-agency residential loans that are not guaranteed by any U.S. Government agency or federally chartered corporation.
•
Infrastructure lending (the “Infrastructure Lending Segment”)—engages primarily in originating, acquiring, financing and managing infrastructure debt investments.
•
Real estate property (the “Property Segment”)—engages primarily in acquiring and managing equity interests in stabilized commercial real estate properties, including multifamily properties and commercial properties subject to net leases, that are held for investment.
•
Real estate investing and servicing (the “Investing and Servicing Segment”)—includes (i) a servicing business in the U.S. that manages and works out problem assets, (ii) an investment business that selectively acquires and manages unrated, investment grade and non-investment grade rated CMBS, including subordinated interests of securitization and resecuritization transactions, (iii) a mortgage loan business which originates conduit loans for the primary purpose of selling these loans into securitization transactions and (iv) an investment business that selectively acquires commercial real estate assets, including properties acquired from CMBS trusts.
Our segments exclude the consolidation of securitization variable interest entities (“VIEs”).
Refer to Note 1 of our condensed consolidated financial statements included herein (the “Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements”) for further discussion of our business and organization.

Results of Operations
The discussion below is based on accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and therefore reflects the elimination of certain key financial statement line items related to the consolidation of securitization variable interest entities (“VIEs”), particularly within revenues and other income, as discussed in Note 2 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. For a discussion of our results of operations excluding the impact of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 810 as it relates to the consolidation of securitization VIEs, refer to the section captioned “Non-GAAP Financial Measures.”
The following table compares our summarized results of operations for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and June 30, 2022 and for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 by business segment (amounts in thousands):

Three Months Ended September 30, 2022 Compared to the Three Months Ended June 30, 2022
Commercial and Residential Lending Segment
Revenues
For the three months September 30, 2022, revenues of our Commercial and Residential Lending Segment increased $63.6 million to $315.0 million, compared to $251.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022. This increase was primarily due to an increase in interest income from loans of $56.6 million and investment securities of $6.0 million. The increase in interest income from loans reflects (i) a $58.3 million increase from commercial loans reflecting higher average index rates and loan balances partially offset by lower prepayment related income and (ii) a $1.7 million decrease from residential loans principally due to lower average loan balances partially offset by higher average coupon rates. The increase in interest income from investment securities was primarily due to higher average index rates on commercial investments and higher RMBS investment balances and yields.
Costs and Expenses
For the three months ended September 30, 2022, costs and expenses of our Commercial and Residential Lending Segment increased $62.4 million to $175.6 million, compared to $113.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022. This increase was primarily due to a $56.9 million increase in interest expense associated with the various secured financing facilities used to fund a portion of this segment’s investment portfolio. The increase in interest expense was primarily due to higher average index rates and borrowings outstanding.

This increase reflects the increase in interest income, partially offset by the increase in interest expense on our secured financing facilities, both as discussed in the sections above.
During the three months ended September 30, 2022 and June 30, 2022, the weighted average unlevered yields on the Commercial and Residential Lending Segment’s loans and investment securities, excluding retained RMBS and loans for which interest income is not recognized, were as follows:

The weighted average unlevered yield on our commercial loans increased primarily due to higher average index rates partially offset by lower prepayment related income. The weighted average unlevered yield on our residential loans increased slightly primarily due to higher average coupon rates.
During the three months ended September 30, 2022 and June 30, 2022, the Commercial and Residential Lending Segment’s weighted average secured borrowing rates, inclusive of interest rate hedging costs and the amortization of deferred financing fees, were 4.3% and 2.9%, respectively. The increase in borrowing rates primarily reflects higher index rates.
Other Loss
For the three months ended September 30, 2022, other loss of our Commercial and Residential Lending Segment decreased $101.4 million to $21.3 million compared to $122.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022. This decrease was primarily due to (i) a $93.1 million increase in net gains on derivatives, (ii) a $35.7 million favorable change in fair value of investment securities, principally related to RMBS, and (iii) a $31.2 million lesser decrease in fair value of residential loans,

ntents
partially offset by (iv) a $28.8 million increase in foreign currency loss and (v) a $23.0 million higher loss contingency provision related to residential loans sold in February 2022 (refer to Note 22 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements). The increase in net gains on derivatives in the third quarter of 2022 reflects a $56.3 million increased gain on interest rate swaps principally related to residential loans and a $36.8 million increased gain on foreign currency hedges. The interest rate swaps are used primarily to hedge our interest rate risk on residential loans held-for-sale and to fix our interest rate payments on certain variable rate borrowings which fund fixed rate investments. The foreign currency hedges are used to fix the U.S. dollar amounts of cash flows (both interest and principal payments) we expect to receive from our foreign currency denominated loans and investments. The increased gain on foreign currency hedges and the increase in foreign currency loss reflect the strengthening of the U.S. dollar against the pound sterling (“GBP”), Euro (“EUR”) and Australian dollar (“AUD”) in the third quarter of 2022 compared to a lesser strengthening of the U.S. dollar against those currencies in the second quarter of 2022.
Infrastructure Lending Segment
Revenues
For the three months ended September 30, 2022, revenues of our Infrastructure Lending Segment increased $13.0 million to $44.4 million, compared to $31.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022. This was primarily due to an increase in interest income from loans of $12.9 million reflecting higher average index rates and loan balances.
Costs and Expense
s
For the three months ended September 30, 2022, costs and expenses of our Infrastructure Lending Segment increased $13.9 million to $33.1 million, compared to $19.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022. The increase was primarily due to a $7.5 million increase in interest expense associated with the various secured financing facilities used to fund this segment’s investment portfolio and a $6.4 million increase in credit loss provision. The increase in interest expense was primarily due to higher average index rates and borrowings outstanding. The increase in the credit loss provision was primarily due to an increase in the specific reserve for a credit-deteriorated loan.

During the three months ended September 30, 2022 and June 30, 2022, the weighted average unlevered yields on the Infrastructure Lending Segment’s loans and investment securities held-for-investment were 7.0% and 5.5%, respectively.

See Notes 6 and 7 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for a description of the above-referenced Property Segment portfolios and fund.
Revenues
For the three months ended September 30, 2022, revenues of our Property Segment increased $0.2 million to $22.9 million, compared to $22.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022.
Costs and Expenses
For the three months ended September 30, 2022, costs and expenses of our Property Segment increased $2.7 million to $24.1 million, compared to $21.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022. The increase is primarily due to an increase of $2.2 million in interest expense reflecting higher index rates on variable rate borrowings.
Other Income
For the three months ended September 30, 2022, other income of our Property Segment decreased $184.7 million to $127.8 million compared to $312.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022. The decrease is primarily due to (i) a $189.6 million decrease in income attributable to investments of the Woodstar Fund, reflecting lower unrealized increases in fair value during the third quarter of 2022, partially offset by (ii) a $4.9 million increased gain on derivatives which primarily hedge our interest rate risk on borrowings secured by our Medical Office Portfolio.
Investing and Servicing Segment
Revenues
For the three months ended September 30, 2022, revenues of our Investing and Servicing Segment decreased $2.7 million to $50.1 million, compared to $52.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022. The decrease primarily reflects a $7.2 million decrease in servicing and other fees, partially offset by a $4.2 million net increase in interest income reflecting higher recoveries on CMBS investments but reduced interest on lower average balances of conduit loans.
Costs and Expenses
For the three months ended September 30, 2022, costs and expenses of our Investing and Servicing Segment decreased $2.4 million to $33.2 million, compared to $35.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022. The decrease primarily reflects lower incentive compensation due to lower securitization volume in the third quarter of 2022.
Other Income
For the three months ended September 30, 2022, other income of our Investing and Servicing Segment decreased $8.4 million to $2.6 million, compared to $11.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022. The decrease in other income was primarily due to (i) a $13.3 million greater decrease in fair value of CMBS investments, (ii) a $5.2 million lesser increase in fair
74
Tab
le of Co
ntents
value of conduit loans and (iii) a $2.2 million decrease in net gains on derivatives which primarily hedge our interest rate risk on conduit loans and CMBS investments, all partially offset by (iv) a $13.7 million gain on sale of an operating property in the third quarter of 2022.
Corporate and Other Items
Corporate Costs and Expenses
For the three months ended September 30, 2022, corporate expenses decreased $2.2 million to $70.7 million, compared to $72.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022. This decrease was primarily due to (i) a decrease of $4.2 million in management fees principally due to lower incentive fees and (ii) a $1.0 million decrease in general and administrative expenses reflecting lower project related professional fees, partially offset by (iii) a $3.0 million increase in interest expense attributable to higher index rates on our term loan.
Corporate Other Loss
For the three months ended September 30, 2022, corporate other loss increased $18.5 million to $31.7 million, compared to $13.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022. This increase was due to a greater loss on our fixed-to-floating interest rate swaps which hedge a portion of our unsecured senior notes.
Securitization VIE Eliminations
Securitization VIE eliminations primarily reclassify interest income and servicing fee revenues to other income (loss) for the CMBS and RMBS VIEs that we consolidate as primary beneficiary. Such eliminations have no overall effect on net income (loss) attributable to Starwood Property Trust. The reclassified revenues, along with applicable changes in fair value of investment securities and servicing rights, comprise the other income (loss) caption “Change in net assets related to consolidated VIEs,” which represents our beneficial interest in those consolidated VIEs. The magnitude of the securitization VIE eliminations is merely a function of the number of CMBS and RMBS trusts consolidated in any given period, and as such, is not a meaningful indicator of operating results. The eliminations primarily relate to CMBS trusts for which the Investing and Servicing Segment is deemed the primary beneficiary and, to a much lesser extent, some CMBS and RMBS trusts for which the Commercial and Residential Lending Segment is deemed the primary beneficiary.
Income Tax
Benefit (Provision)
Our consolidated income taxes principally relate to the taxable nature of our loan servicing and loan securitization businesses which are housed in taxable REIT subsidiaries (“TRSs”). For the three months ended September 30, 2022, our income tax provision decreased $51.0 million to a benefit of $48.8 million compared to a provision of $2.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 due to tax losses of our TRSs in the third quarter of 2022 and use of the discrete method compared to taxable income of our TRSs in the second quarter of 2022 and use of the annual effective tax rate method. The tax losses in the third quarter of 2022 were primarily attributable to net unrealized losses on our residential loans.
Net Income Attributable to Non-controlling Interests
During the three months ended September 30, 2022, net income attributable to non-controlling interests decreased $40.1 million to $29.3 million, compared to $69.4 million during the three months ended June 30, 2022. The decrease was primarily due to non-controlling interests in lower income of the Woodstar Fund in the third quarter of 2022.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2022 Compared to the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2021
Commercial and Residential Lending Segment
Revenues
For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, revenues of our Commercial and Residential Lending Segment increased $219.5 million to $791.6 million, compared to $572.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. This increase was primarily due to increases in interest income from loans of $198.4 million and investment securities of $20.4 million. The increase in interest income from loans reflects (i) a $155.8 million increase from commercial loans, reflecting higher average balances and index rates, partially offset by the timing effect of certain loans being placed on nonaccrual, and (ii) a $42.6 million increase from residential loans principally due to higher average balances reflecting the timing of purchases and securitizations, partially offset by lower average coupon rates. The increase in interest income from investment securities was primarily due to higher commercial and RMBS average investment balances and the effect of higher index rates on certain commercial investments.
Costs and Expenses
For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, costs and expenses of our Commercial and Residential Lending Segment increased $201.0 million to $367.4 million, compared to $166.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. This increase was primarily due to (i) a $157.2 million increase in interest expense associated with the various secured financing facilities used to fund a portion of this segment’s investment portfolio, (ii) a $26.0 million increase in credit loss provision from a reversal of $13.0 million in the nine months of 2021 to a provision of $13.0 million in nine months of 2022 and (iii) a $9.0 million increase in primarily legal related general and administrative expenses. The increase in interest expense was primarily due to higher average borrowings outstanding and higher average index rates. The credit loss provision in the nine months of 2022 was primarily due to rising index rates and its potential effect on borrower cash flows in our estimate of current expected credit losses (“CECL”).

This increase reflects the increase in interest income, partially offset by the increase in interest expense on our secured financing facilities, both as discussed in the sections above.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, the weighted average unlevered yields on the Commercial and Residential Lending Segment’s loans and investment securities, excluding retained RMBS and loans for which interest income is not recognized, were as follows:

The weighted average unlevered yield on our commercial loans remained unchanged despite higher index rates primarily due to repayment of loans with higher LIBOR floors being replaced by newer loans with lower floating rate floors. The unlevered yield on our residential loans decreased due to lower weighted average coupons which resulted from market spread tightening as well as a change in the composition of our residential loan portfolio to include agency loans which generally carry a lower coupon than non-agency loans.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, the Commercial and Residential Lending Segment’s weighted average secured borrowing rates, inclusive of interest rate hedging costs and the amortization of deferred financing fees, were 3.3% and 2.5%, respectively. The increase in borrowing rates primarily reflects higher index rates, partially offset by decreases in weighted average spreads particularly due to increased use of lower cost CLO financing.
Other Income (Loss)
For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, other income of our Commercial and Residential Lending Segment decreased $129.6 million to a loss of $86.9 million, compared to income of $42.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. This decrease primarily reflects (i) a $351.8 million unfavorable change in fair value of residential loans, (ii) a $177.0 million increase in foreign currency loss and (iii) an $88.4 million estimated loss contingency related to residential loans sold in February 2022 (refer to Note 22 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements), all partially offset by (iv) a $406.6 million increase in net gains on derivatives and (v) a $69.8 million increased gain on sale of foreclosed properties. The unfavorable change in fair value of residential loans was principally related to a rapid rise in interest rates and widening of credit spreads in the nine months of 2022, which resulted in mark-to-market losses on our fixed coupon residential loans. The increased gains on derivatives during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 reflect a $209.2 million increased gain on interest rate swaps principally related to residential loans, which partially offsets the unfavorable change in fair value of those loans, and a $197.4 million increased gain on foreign currency hedges. The interest rate swaps are used primarily to hedge our interest rate risk on residential loans held-for-sale and to fix our interest rate payments on certain variable rate borrowings which fund fixed rate investments. The foreign currency hedges are used to fix the U.S. dollar amounts of cash flows (both interest and principal payments) we expect to receive from our foreign currency denominated loans and investments. The increased gain on foreign currency hedges and the increase in foreign currency loss reflect the strengthening of the U.S. dollar against the GBP, EUR and AUD during the nine months of 2022 compared to a lesser overall strengthening of the U.S. dollar against those currencies during the nine months of 2021.
Infrastructure Lending Segment
Revenues
For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, revenues of our Infrastructure Lending Segment increased $40.1 million to $103.5 million, compared to $63.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. This increase was primarily due to an increase in interest income from loans of $38.6 million, principally due to higher average loan balances and index rates.
Costs and Expense
s
For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, costs and expenses of our Infrastructure Lending Segment increased $28.3 million to $67.6 million, compared to $39.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The increase was primarily due to (i) a $21.5 million increase in interest expense associated with the various secured financing facilities used to fund this segment’s investment portfolio and (ii) a $6.5 million increase in credit loss provision. The increase in interest expense was primarily due to higher average borrowings outstanding and higher average index rates. The increase in the credit loss provision was primarily due to an increase in the specific reserve for a credit-deteriorated loan.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, the weighted average unlevered yields on the Infrastructure Lending Segment’s loans and investment securities held-for-investment were 5.9% and 4.9%, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the weighted average unlevered yield on the Infrastructure Lending Segment’s loans held-for-sale was 2.8%. There were no loans held-for-sale during the nine months ended September 30, 2022.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, the Infrastructure Lending Segment’s weighted average secured borrowing rates, inclusive of the amortization of deferred financing fees, were 3.6% and 2.8%, respectively.
Other Income (Loss)
For the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, other income of our Infrastructure Lending Segment increased $3.3 million to income of $2.8 million, compared to a loss of $0.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The increase primarily reflects a $2.6 million increase in earnings from an unconsolidated entity and a $0.8 million lower loss on extinguishment of debt.

Revenues
For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, revenues of our Property Segment decreased $129.3 million to $68.0 million, compared to $197.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The decrease is primarily due to the conversion of the Woodstar Portfolios to the Woodstar Fund on November 5, 2021.
Costs and Expenses
For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, costs and expenses of our Property Segment decreased $117.6 million to $66.0 million, compared to $183.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, primarily due to the Woodstar Fund conversion referred to above.
Other Income
For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, other income of our Property Segment increased $688.0 million to $691.9 million, compared to $3.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The increase is primarily due to (i) $658.7 million of income attributable to investments of the Woodstar Fund, including $613.0 million of unrealized increases in fair value, during the nine months of 2022 and (ii) a $29.1 million increased gain on derivatives which primarily hedge our interest rate risk on borrowings secured by our Medical Office Portfolio
Investing and Servicing Segment
Revenues
For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, revenues of our Investing and Servicing Segment increased $6.3 million to $160.8 million, compared to $154.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The increase in revenues was primarily due to (i) a $7.2 million increase in interest income from CMBS investments and conduit loans and (ii) a $7.9 million increase in other fee income related to the origination of certain loans contributed into CMBS transactions, partially

offset by (iii) a $6.2 million decrease in rental income principally reflecting fewer properties held and (iv) a $2.7 million decrease in servicing fees.
Costs and Expenses
For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, costs and expenses of our Investing and Servicing Segment decreased $1.2 million to $105.2 million, compared to $106.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021.
Other Income
For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, other income of our Investing and Servicing Segment decreased $25.4 million to $34.3 million, compared to $59.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The decrease in other income was primarily due to (i) a $43.0 million lesser increase in fair value of conduit loans and (ii) a $36.3 million greater decrease in fair value of CMBS investments, partially offset by (iii) a $36.2 million increased gain on derivatives which primarily hedge our interest rate risk on conduit loans and CMBS investments and (iv) a $15.9 million increased gain on sales of operating properties.
Corporate and Other Items
Corporate Costs and Expenses
For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, corporate expenses increased $42.3 million to $237.0 million, compared to $194.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. This increase was primarily due to increases of (i) $21.9 million in management fees, primarily reflecting higher incentive fees principally related to operating property sales, and (ii) $19.2 million in interest expense on higher average outstanding term loan and unsecured senior note balances, as well as higher index rates on our term loan.
Corporate Other Loss
For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, corporate other loss increased $75.6 million to $82.0 million, compared to $6.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. This increase was primarily due to a greater loss on fixed-to-floating interest rate swaps which hedge a portion of our unsecured senior notes.
Securitization VIE Eliminations
Refer to the preceding comparison of the three months ended September 30, 2022 to the three months ended June 30, 2022 for a discussion of the effect of securitization VIE eliminations.
Income Tax Benefit (Provision)
Our consolidated income taxes principally relate to the taxable nature of our loan servicing and loan securitization businesses which are housed in TRSs. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, our income taxes decreased $55.4 million to a benefit of $49.0 million, compared to a provision of $6.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 due to tax losses of our TRSs in the nine months of 2022 compared to taxable income of our TRSs in the nine months of 2021. The tax losses in the nine months of 2022 were primarily attributable to net unrealized losses on our residential loans.
Net Income Attributable to Non-controlling Interests
For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, net income attributable to non-controlling interests increased $125.3 million to $158.4 million, compared to $33.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The increase was primarily due to non-controlling interests in earnings of the Woodstar Fund during the nine months of 2022.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Distributable Earnings is a non-GAAP financial measure. We calculate Distributable Earnings as GAAP net income (loss) excluding the following:
(i)
non-cash equity compensation expense;
(ii)
incentive fees due under our management agreement;
(iii)
depreciation and amortization of real estate and associated intangibles;
(iv)
acquisition costs associated with successful acquisitions;
(v)
any unrealized gains, losses or other non-cash items recorded in net income (loss) for the period; and
(vi)
any deductions for distributions payable with respect to equity securities of subsidiaries issued in exchange for properties or interests therein.
The CECL reserve has been excluded from Distributable Earnings consistent with other unrealized gains (losses) pursuant to our existing policy for reporting Distributable Earnings. We expect to only recognize such potential credit losses in Distributable Earnings if and when such amounts are deemed nonrecoverable upon a realization event. This is generally at the time a loan is repaid, or in the case of foreclosure, when the underlying asset is sold, but non-recoverability may also be determined if, in our determination, it is nearly certain that all amounts due will not be collected. The realized loss amount reflected in Distributable Earnings will equal the difference between the cash received, or expected to be received, and the book value of the asset, and is reflective of our economic experience as it relates to the ultimate realization of the loan.
We believe that Distributable Earnings provides meaningful information to consider in addition to our net income (loss) and cash flow from operating activities determined in accordance with GAAP. As a REIT, we generally must distribute annually at least 90% of our REIT taxable income, subject to certain adjustments, and therefore we believe our dividends are one of the principal reasons stockholders may invest in our common stock. We believe Distributable Earnings is a useful financial metric for existing and potential future holders of our common stock as historically, over time, Distributable Earnings has been a strong indicator of our dividends per share. Further, Distributable Earnings helps us to evaluate our performance excluding the effects of certain transactions and GAAP adjustments that we believe are not necessarily indicative of our current loan portfolio and operations, and is a performance metric we consider when declaring our dividends. We also use Distributable Earnings (previously defined as “Core Earnings”) to compute the incentive fee due under our management agreement.
Distributable Earnings does not represent net income (loss) or cash generated from operating activities and should not be considered as an alternative to GAAP net income (loss), or an indication of our GAAP cash flows from operations, a measure of our liquidity, taxable income, or an indication of funds available for our cash needs. In addition, our methodology for calculating Distributable Earnings may differ from the methodologies employed by other companies to calculate the same or similar supplemental performance measures, and accordingly, our reported Distributable Earnings may not be comparable to the Distributable Earnings reported by other companies.
As discussed in Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, consolidation of securitization variable interest entities (“VIEs”) results in the elimination of certain key financial statement line items, particularly within revenues and other income, including unrealized changes in fair value of loans and investment securities. These line items are essential to understanding the true financial performance of our business segments and the Company as a whole. For this reason, as referenced in Note 2 to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, we present business segment data in Note 23 without consolidation of these VIEs. This is how we manage our business and is the basis for all data reviewed with our board of directors, investors and analysts. This presentation also allows for a more transparent reconciliation of the unrealized gain (loss) adjustments below to the segment data presented in Note 23.
The weighted average diluted share count applied to Distributable Earnings for purposes of determining Distributable Earnings per share (“EPS”) is computed using the GAAP diluted share count, adjusted for the following:
(i)
Unvested stock awards – Currently, unvested stock awards are excluded from the denominator of GAAP EPS. The related compensation expense is also excluded from Distributable Earnings. In order to effectuate dilution from these awards in the Distributable Earnings computation, we adjust the GAAP diluted share count to include these shares.
80
Tab
le of Co
ntents
(ii)
Convertible Notes – Conversion of our Convertible Notes is an event that is contingent upon numerous factors, none of which are in our control, and is an event that may or may not occur. Consistent with the treatment of other unrealized adjustments to Distributable Earnings, we adjust the GAAP diluted share count to exclude the potential shares issuable upon conversion until a conversion occurs.
(iii)
Subsidiary equity – The intent of a February 2018 amendment to our management agreement (the “Amendment”) is to treat subsidiary equity in the same manner as if parent equity had been issued. The Class A Units issued in connection with the acquisition of assets in our Woodstar II Portfolio are currently excluded from our GAAP diluted share count, with the subsidiary equity represented as non-controlling interests in consolidated subsidiaries on our GAAP balance sheet. Consistent with the Amendment, we adjust GAAP diluted share count to include these subsidiary units.

The definition of Distributable Earnings allows management to make adjustments, subject to the approval of a majority of our independent directors, in situations where such adjustments are considered appropriate in order for Distributable Earnings to be calculated in a manner consistent with its definition and objective. No adjustments to the definition of Distributable Earnings became effective during the nine months ended September 30, 2022.

The Commercial and Residential Lending Segment’s Distributable Earnings increased by $0.2 million, from $153.3 million during the second quarter of 2022 to $153.5 million in the third quarter of 2022. After making adjustments for the calculation of Distributable Earnings, revenues were $316.4 million, costs and expenses were $164.0 million, other income was $1.1 million and there was no income tax provision.
Revenues, consisting principally of interest income on loans, increased by $62.3 million in the third quarter of 2022, primarily due to an increase in interest income from loans of $56.6 million and investment securities of $4.7 million. The increase in interest income from loans reflects (i) a $58.3 million increase from commercial loans, reflecting higher average index rates and loan balances partially offset by lower prepayment related income and (ii) a $1.7 million decrease from residential loans principally due to lower average loan balances partially offset by higher average coupon rates. The increase in interest income from investment securities was primarily due to higher average index rates on commercial investments and higher RMBS investment balances and yields.
Costs and expenses increased by $61.8 million in the third quarter of 2022, primarily due to a $56.9 million increase in interest expense associated with the various secured financing facilities used to fund a portion of this segment’s investment portfolio reflecting higher average index rates and borrowings outstanding.
Other income decreased by $0.9 million in the third quarter of 2022.
Income taxes, which principally relate to the taxable nature of this segment’s residential loan securitization activities which are housed in TRSs, decreased $0.6 million in the third quarter of 2022.
Infrastructure Lending Segment
The Infrastructure Lending Segment’s Distributable Earnings increased by $7.0 million, from $13.4 million during the second quarter of 2022 to $20.4 million in the third quarter of 2022. After making adjustments for the calculation of Distributable Earnings, revenues were $44.3 million, costs and expenses were $25.8 million and other income was $1.9 million.
Revenues, consisting principally of interest income on loans, increased by $13.0 million in the third quarter of 2022, primarily due to an increase in interest income from loans of $12.9 million reflecting higher average index rates and loan balances.
Costs and expenses increased by $7.5 million in the third quarter of 2022, primarily due to an increase in interest expense reflecting higher average index rates and borrowings outstanding.
Other income increased by $1.5 million in the third quarter of 2022, primarily due to an increase in earnings from an unconsolidated entity.

Revenues increased by $0.2 million in the third quarter of 2022.
Costs and expenses increased by $2.7 million in the third quarter of 2022, primarily due to a $2.2 million increase in interest expense reflecting higher index rates on variable rate borrowings.
Other income increased by $1.8 million in the third quarter of 2022 primarily due to a $2.1 million favorable change in realized gain (loss) on derivatives which primarily hedge our interest rate risk on borrowings secured by our Medical Office Portfolio.
Income attributable to non-controlling interests in the Woodstar Fund decreased $0.1 million in the third quarter of 2022.
Investing and Servicing Segment
The Investing and Servicing Segment’s Distributable Earnings decreased by $0.2 million, from $33.6 million during the second quarter of 2022 to $33.4 million in the third quarter of 2022. After making adjustments for the calculation of Distributable Earnings, revenues were $53.0 million, costs and expenses were $28.9 million, other income was $14.1 million, there was no income tax provision and the deduction of income attributable to non-controlling interests was $4.8 million.
Revenues decreased by $3.6 million in the third quarter of 2022, primarily due to a $7.2 million decrease in servicing and other fees, partially offset by a $3.3 million net increase in interest income reflecting higher recoveries on CMBS investments but reduced interest on lower average balances of conduit loans. The treatment of CMBS interest income on a GAAP basis is complicated by our application of the ASC 810 consolidation rules. In an attempt to treat these securities similar to the trust’s other investment securities, we compute distributable interest income pursuant to an effective yield methodology. In doing so, we segregate the portfolio into various categories based on the components of the bonds’ cash flows and the volatility related to each of these components. We then accrete interest income on an effective yield basis using the components of cash flows that are reliably estimable. Other minor adjustments are made to reflect management’s expectations for other components of the projected cash flow stream.
Costs and expenses decreased by $2.4 million in the third quarter of 2022, primarily reflecting lower incentive compensation due to lower securitization volume in the third quarter of 2022.
Other income includes profit realized upon securitization of loans by our conduit business, gains on sales of CMBS and operating properties, gains and losses on derivatives that were either effectively terminated or novated, and earnings from unconsolidated entities. These items are typically offset by a decrease in the fair value of our domestic servicing rights intangible which reflects the expected amortization of this deteriorating asset, net of increases in fair value due to the attainment of new servicing contracts. Derivatives include instruments which hedge interest rate risk and credit risk on our conduit loans and CMBS investments. For GAAP purposes, the loans, CMBS and derivatives are accounted for at fair value, with all changes in fair value (realized or unrealized) recognized in earnings. The adjustments to Distributable Earnings outlined above are also applied to the GAAP earnings of our unconsolidated entities. Other income increased by $0.4 million in the third quarter of 2022.
Income taxes, which principally relate to the taxable nature of this segment’s loan servicing and loan securitization businesses which are housed in TRSs, decreased $1.6 million in the third quarter of 2022.
Income attributable to non-controlling interests increased $1.0 million, primarily due to non-controlling interests related to the sale of an operating property in the third quarter of 2022.
Corporate
Corporate loss increased by $5.7 million, from $59.3 million during the second quarter of 2022 to $65.0 million in the third quarter of 2022, primarily due to (i) a $3.0 million increase in interest expense attributable to higher index rates on our term loan and (ii) a $3.6 million decrease in realized gains on fixed-to-floating interest rate swaps which hedge a portion of our unsecured senior notes.

The reconciling items in this section are exactly equivalent to the amounts recognized within GAAP net income (before the consolidation of VIEs), each of which can be agreed back to the respective lines within Note 23 to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. They reflect both unrealized and realized (gains) and losses. For added transparency and consistency of presentation, the entire amount recognized in GAAP income is reversed in this section, and the realized components of these amounts are reflected in the next section entitled “Recognition of Distributable realized gains / (losses).”
87
Tab

(2)
Represents the realized portion of GAAP gains (losses) on residential and commercial conduit loans carried under the fair value option that were sold during the period. The amount is calculated as the difference between (i) the net proceeds received in connection with a securitization or sale of loans and (ii) such loans’ historical cost basis.
(3)
Represents loan losses that are deemed nonrecoverable, which is generally upon a realization event, such as when a loan is repaid, or in the case of foreclosure, when the underlying asset is sold. Non-recoverability may also be determined if, in our determination, it is nearly certain that amounts due will not be collected. The amount is calculated as the difference between the cash received and the book value of the asset.
(4)
Represents the realized portion of GAAP gains (losses) on CMBS and RMBS carried under the fair value option that are sold or impaired during the period. Upon sale, the difference between the cash proceeds received and the historical cost basis of the security is treated as a realized gain or loss for Distributable Earnings purposes. We consider a CMBS or an RMBS credit loss to be realized when such amounts are deemed nonrecoverable. Non-recoverability is generally at the time the underlying assets within the securitization are liquidated, but non-recoverability may also be determined if, in our determination, it is nearly certain that all amounts due will not be collected. The amount is calculated as the difference between the cash received and the historical cost basis of the security.
(5)
Represents GAAP income from the Woodstar Fund investments excluding unrealized changes in the fair value of its underlying assets and liabilities. The amount is calculated as the difference between the Woodstar Fund’s GAAP net income and its unrealized gains (losses), which represents changes in working capital and actual cash distributions received.
(6)
Represents the realized portion of GAAP gains or losses on the termination or settlement of derivatives that are accounted for at fair value. Derivatives are only treated as realized for Distributable Earnings when they are terminated or settled, and cash is exchanged. The amount of cash received or paid to terminate or settle the derivative is the amount treated as realized for Distributable Earnings purposes at the time of such termination or settlement.
(7)
Represents the realized portion of foreign currency gains (losses) related to assets and liabilities denominated in a foreign currency. Realization occurs when the foreign currency is converted back to USD. The amount is calculated as the difference between the foreign exchange rate at the time the asset was placed on the balance sheet and the foreign exchange rate at the time cash is received and is offset by any gains or losses on the related foreign currency derivative at settlement.
(8)
Represents GAAP earnings (loss) from unconsolidated entities excluding non-cash items and unrealized changes in fair value recorded on the books and records of the unconsolidated entities. The difference between GAAP and Distributable Earnings for these entities principally relates to depreciation and unrealized changes in the fair value of mortgage loans and securities.
(9)
Represents the realized gain (loss) on sales of properties held at depreciated cost. Because depreciation is a non-cash expense that is excluded from Distributable Earnings, GAAP gains upon sale of a property are higher, and GAAP losses are lower, than the respective realized amounts reflected in Distributable Earnings. The amount is calculated as net sales proceeds less undepreciated cost, adjusted for any noncontrolling interest.
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2022 Compared to the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2021
Commercial and Residential Lending Segment
The Commercial and Residential Lending Segment’s Distributable Earnings increased by $121.6 million, from $416.1 million during the nine months of 2021 to $537.7 million in the nine months of 2022. After making adjustments for the calculation of Distributable Earnings, revenues were $798.2 million, costs and expenses were $345.7 million, other income was $80.6 million and income tax benefit was $4.6 million.
Revenues, consisting principally of interest income on loans, increased by $228.4 million in the nine months of 2022, primarily due to increases in interest income from loans of $198.4 million and investment securities of $29.0 million. The increase in interest income from loans reflects (i) a $155.8 million increase from commercial loans, reflecting higher average balances and index rates, partially offset by the timing effect of certain loans being placed on nonaccrual, and (ii) a $42.6 million increase from residential loans principally due to higher average balances reflecting the timing of purchases and securitizations, partially offset by lower average coupon rates. The increase in interest income from investment securities was primarily due to higher commercial and RMBS average investment balances and the effect of higher index rates on certain commercial investments.
Costs and expenses increased by $164.2 million in the nine months of 2022, primarily due to a $157.2 million increase in interest expense associated with the various secured financing facilities used to fund a portion of this segment’s investment portfolio. The increase in interest expense was primarily due to higher average borrowings outstanding and higher average index rates.
88
Tab
le of Co
ntents
Other income increased by $47.2 million in the nine months of 2022, primarily due to (i) a $76.4 million increased gain on sale of foreclosed properties and (ii) a $28.9 million decrease in recognized losses on RMBS investments, partially offset by (iii) a $46.0 million unfavorable change in gain (loss) on residential loan sales and securitizations, net of related interest rate derivatives, and (iv) a $15.0 million unfavorable change in Distributable Earnings (Loss) from an unconsolidated residential mortgage originator.
Income taxes principally relate to the taxable nature of this segment’s residential loan securitization activities which are housed in TRSs. Income taxes decreased $10.2 million to a benefit of $4.6 million in the nine months of 2022 compared to a provision of $5.6 million in the nine months of 2021. This decrease was primarily due to a significant reduction in securitization activity during the nine months of 2022 resulting from elevated market volatility during the period, as compared to a more normalized securitization environment in 2021. This market dislocation resulted in our holding more residential loans and recording net unrealized losses on those loans during the nine months of 2022, which led to a corresponding income tax benefit in the period.
Infrastructure Lending Segment
The Infrastructure Lending Segment’s Distributable Earnings increased by $21.3 million, from $25.1 million during the nine months of 2021 to $46.4 million in the nine months of 2022. After making adjustments for the calculation of Distributable Earnings, revenues were $103.5 million, costs and expenses were $59.2 million and other income was $2.1 million.
Revenues, consisting principally of interest income on loans, increased by $40.1 million in the nine months of 2022, primarily due to an increase in interest income from loans of $38.6 million, principally due to higher average loan balances and index rates.
Costs and expenses increased by $21.9 million in the nine months of 2022, primarily due to an increase in interest expense reflecting higher average borrowings outstanding and higher average index rates.
Other income increased by $3.5 million from a loss in the nine months of 2021 to income in the nine months of 2022, primarily due to a $2.6 million increase in earnings from an unconsolidated entity and a $0.8 million lower loss on extinguishment of debt.

The Investing and Servicing Segment’s Distributable Earnings decreased by $9.6 million from $106.4 million during the nine months of 2021 to $96.8 million in the nine months of 2022. After making adjustments for the calculation of Distributable Earnings, revenues were $166.0 million, costs and expenses were $92.5 million, other income was $41.0 million, income tax provision was $4.3 million and the deduction of income attributable to non-controlling interests was $13.4 million.
Revenues decreased by $0.8 million in the nine months of 2022.
Costs and expenses increased by $0.2 million in the nine months of 2022.
Other income decreased by $11.9 million in the nine months of 2022, primarily due to (i) a $44.2 million decrease in realized gains on conduit loans, partially offset by (ii) a $30.6 million increase in realized gains on derivatives, principally related to conduit loans.
Income taxes, which principally relate to the taxable nature of this segment’s loan servicing and loan securitization businesses which are housed in TRSs, decreased $2.9 million due to lower taxable income of those TRSs during the nine months of 2022.
Income attributable to non-controlling interests decreased $0.4 million.
Corporate
Corporate loss increased by $29.8 million, from $149.6 million during the nine months of 2021 to $179.4 million in the nine months of 2022, primarily due to (i) a $19.6 million increase in interest expense on higher average outstanding term loan and unsecured senior note balances, (ii) a $7.3 million increase in base management fees and (iii) a $2.4 million decrease in realized gains on fixed-to-floating interest rate swaps which hedge a portion of our unsecured senior notes.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Liquidity is a measure of our ability to meet our cash requirements, including ongoing commitments to repay borrowings, fund and maintain our assets and operations, make new investments where appropriate, pay dividends to our stockholders, and other general business needs. We closely monitor our liquidity position and believe that we have sufficient current liquidity and access to additional liquidity to meet our financial obligations for at least the next 12 months. Our strategy for managing liquidity and capital resources has not changed since December 31, 2021. Refer to our Form 10-K for a description of these strategies.

The discussion below is on a non-GAAP basis, after removing adjustments principally resulting from the consolidation of the securitization VIEs under ASC 810. These adjustments principally relate to (i) the purchase of CMBS, RMBS, loans and real estate from consolidated VIEs, which are reflected as repayments of VIE debt on a GAAP basis and (ii) sales, principal collections and redemptions of CMBS and RMBS related to consolidated VIEs, which are reflected as VIE distributions on a GAAP basis. There is no significant net impact to overall cash resulting from these consolidations. Refer to Note 2 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion.
Cash and cash equivalents increased by $139.0 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2022, reflecting net cash provided by financing activities of $2.4 billion and operating activities of $842.8 million, partially offset by net cash used in investing activities of $3.1 billion.
Net cash provided by operating activities of $842.8 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 related primarily to cash interest income of $641.3 million from our loans and $139.5 million from our investment securities, sales and principal collections, net of purchases and originations, of loans held-for-sale of $351.8 million and net change in operating assets and liabilities of $269.9 million. Net rental income provided cash of $61.4 million and servicing fees provided cash of $41.8 million. Offsetting these cash inflows was cash interest expense of $424.0 million, management fees of $107.0 million and general and administrative expenses of $90.6 million.
Net cash used in investing activities of $3.1 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 related primarily to the origination and acquisition of loans held-for-investment of $5.0 billion and the purchase and funding of investment

securities of $375.9 million, partially offset by proceeds received from principal collections and sales of loans of $1.9 billion and investment securities of $84.0 million and sales of operating properties for $166.4 million.
Net cash provided by financing activities of $2.4 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 related primarily to borrowings on our debt, net of repayments and deferred loan costs, of $2.8 billion, partially offset by dividend distributions of $442.8 million.

Shortfall primarily relates to $850.0 million of repayments under a Residential Loans repurchase facility that carries a one-year term which we can extend every three months with the lender’s consent.
(2)
Shortfall primarily relates to $355.8 million of repayments under a securities facility which carries a rolling 12-month term that we have historically extended, and intend to continue to extend with the lender’s consent.
In the normal course of business, the Company is in discussions with its lenders to extend, amend or replace any financing facilities which contain near term expirations.
Issuances of Equity Securities
We may raise funds through capital market transactions by issuing capital stock. There can be no assurance, however, that we will be able to access the capital markets at any particular time or on any particular terms. We have authorized 100,000,000 shares of preferred stock and 500,000,000 shares of common stock. At September 30, 2022, we had 100,000,000 shares of preferred stock available for issuance and 190,416,377 shares of common stock available for issuance.
Other Potential Sources of Financing
In the future, we may also use other sources of financing to fund the acquisition of our target assets and maturities of our unsecured senior notes, including other secured as well as unsecured forms of borrowing and sale of senior loan interests and other assets.
Leverage Policies
Our strategies with regards to use of leverage have not changed significantly since December 31, 2021. Refer to our Form 10-K for a description of our strategies regarding use of leverage.
Cash Requirements
Dividends
U.S. federal income tax law generally requires that a REIT distribute annually at least 90% of its REIT taxable income, without regard to the deduction for dividends paid and excluding net capital gains, and that it pay tax at regular corporate rates to the extent that it annually distributes less than 100% of its net taxable income. We generally intend to distribute substantially all of our taxable income (which does not necessarily equal our GAAP net income) to our stockholders each year, if and to the extent authorized by our board of directors. Before we pay any dividend, whether for U.S. federal income tax purposes or otherwise, we must first meet both our operating and debt service requirements. If our cash available for distribution is less than our net taxable income, we could be required to sell assets or borrow funds to make cash distributions or we may make a portion of the required distribution in the form of a taxable stock distribution or distribution of debt securities. Refer to our Form 10-K for a detailed dividend history.

The table above does not include interest payable, amounts due under our management agreement, amounts due under our derivative agreements or amounts due under guarantees as those contracts do not have fixed and determinable payments.
Our secured financings, CLOs and SASB consist primarily of matched-term funding for our loans and investment securities and long-term mortgages on our owned properties. Repayments of such facilities are generally made from proceeds from maturities, prepayments or sales of such investments and operating cash flows from owned properties. In the normal course of business, we are in discussions with our lenders to extend, amend or replace any financing facilities which contain near term expirations.
Our unsecured senior notes are expected to be repaid from a combination of available cash on hand, approved but undrawn capacity under our secured financing agreements, and/or equity issuances or other potential sources of financing, as discussed above, including issuances of new unsecured senior notes.
Our future loan commitments are expected to be primarily matched-term funded under secured financing agreements with any difference funded from available cash on hand or other potential sources of financing discussed above.

Item 3.
Quantitative and Qualitative
Disclosures About Market Risk
We seek to manage our risks related to the credit quality of our assets, interest rates, liquidity, prepayment speeds and market value while, at the same time, seeking to provide an opportunity to stockholders to realize attractive risk-adjusted returns through ownership of our capital stock. While we do not seek to avoid risk completely, we believe the risk can be quantified from historical experience and seek to actively manage that risk, to earn sufficient compensation to justify taking those risks and to maintain capital levels consistent with the risks we undertake. Our strategies for managing risk and our exposure to such risks, as described in Item 7A of our Form 10-K, have not changed materially since December 31, 2021 except as described below.
Credit Risk
Our loans and investments are subject to credit risk. The performance and value of our loans and investments depend upon the owners’ ability to operate the properties that serve as our collateral so that they produce cash flows adequate to pay interest and principal due to us. To monitor this risk, our asset management team reviews our investment portfolios and is in regular contact with our borrowers, monitoring performance of the collateral and enforcing our rights as necessary.
We seek to further manage credit risk associated with our Investing and Servicing Segment loans held-for-sale through the purchase of credit instruments. The following table presents our credit instruments as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 (dollars in thousands):

Interest Rate Risk
Interest rates are highly sensitive to many factors, including fiscal and monetary policies and domestic and international economic and political considerations, as well as other factors beyond our control. We are subject to interest rate risk in connection with our investments and the related financing obligations. In general, we seek to match the interest rate characteristics of our investments with the interest rate characteristics of any related financing obligations such as repurchase agreements, bank credit facilities, term loans, revolving facilities and securitizations. In instances where the interest rate characteristics of an investment and the related financing obligation are not matched, we mitigate such interest rate risk through the utilization of interest rate derivatives of the same duration. The following table presents financial instruments where we have utilized interest rate derivatives to hedge interest rate risk and the related interest rate derivatives as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 (dollars in thousands):

LIBOR Transition Risk
The United Kingdom’s Financial Conduct Authority (the authority that regulates LIBOR) stopped compelling banks to submit rates for the calculation of LIBOR and the LIBOR administrator ceased publication of non-U.S. dollar LIBOR after December 31, 2021. However, for U.S. dollar LIBOR, the relevant date has been deferred to June 30, 2023. Regulators emphasized that, despite any continued publication of U.S. dollar LIBOR through June 30, 2023, no new contracts using U.S. dollar LIBOR should be entered into after December 31, 2021. As indicated in the
Interest Rate Risk
section above, a substantial portion of our loans, investment securities, borrowings and interest rate derivatives are indexed to LIBOR or similar reference rates. Our U.S. dollar LIBOR-based loan agreements and borrowing arrangements generally specify alternative reference rates such as the prime rate, federal funds rate or secured overnight financing rate (“SOFR”). Our foreign denominated loan agreements and borrowing arrangements now generally specify the sterling overnight index average (“SONIA”) instead of GBP LIBOR and the bank bill swap rate (“BBSW” or “BBSY”) instead of AUD LIBOR.
As of September 30, 2022, daily compounded SONIA is utilized as the floating benchmark rate on $2.1 billion of our loans and $1.6 billion of our debt outstanding, while SOFR is utilized as the floating benchmark rate on $4.6 billion of our loans and $7.3 billion of our debt outstanding.
At this time, it is not possible to predict how markets will respond to SOFR, SONIA, or other alternative reference rates as the transition away from USD LIBOR and GBP LIBOR proceeds. The resulting changes to benchmark interest rates could increase our financing costs and/or result in mismatches between the interest rates of our investments and the corresponding financings.
103
Tab
le of Co
ntents
Foreign Currency Risk
Our loans and investments that are denominated in a foreign currency are also subject to risks related to fluctuations in exchange rates. We generally mitigate this exposure by matching the currency of our foreign currency assets to the currency of the borrowings that finance those assets. As a result, we substantially reduce our exposure to changes in portfolio value related to changes in foreign exchange rates.
We intend to hedge our net currency exposures in a prudent manner. However, our currency hedging strategies may not eliminate all of our currency risk due to, among other things, uncertainties in the timing and/or amount of payments received on the related investments, and/or unequal, inaccurate, or unavailable hedges to perfectly offset changes in future exchange rates. Additionally, we may be required under certain circumstances to collateralize our currency hedges for the benefit of the hedge counterparty, which could adversely affect our liquidity.
Consistent with our strategy of hedging foreign currency exposure on certain investments, we typically enter into a series of forwards to fix the U.S. dollar amount of foreign currency denominated cash flows (interest income and principal payments) we expect to receive from our foreign currency denominated investments. Accordingly, the notional values and expiration dates of our foreign currency hedges approximate the amounts and timing of future payments we expect to receive on the related investments.
