As of September 30, 2021, the floating benchmark rate for the financing provided on the 2020 FL3 and 2020 FL2 CLOs is the 30-day average compounded SOFR, plus a credit spread adjustment of 0.11%. As of September 30, 2021, the 30-day average compounded SOFR was 0.05% and one-month USD LIBOR was 0.08%.During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, we recorded $10.7 million and $35.2 million, respectively, of interest expense related to our securitized debt obligations.The collateral assets for the 2017 Single Asset Securitization include the total loan amount, of which we securitized $500.0 million.During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, we recorded $9.1 million and $31.8 million, respectively, of interest expense related to our securitized debt obligations.In addition to cash coupon, all-in yield includes the amortization of deferred origination and extension fees, loan origination costs, purchase discounts, and accrual of exit fees.The weighted-average all-in yield and cost are expressed as a spread over USD LIBOR.Loan term represents weighted-average final maturity, assuming all extension options are exercised by the borrower. Repayments of securitized debt obligations are tied to timing of the related collateral loan asset repayments. The term of these obligations represents the rated final distribution date of the securitizations.Net proceeds represents proceeds received from the underwriters less applicable transaction costs.The amounts are net of 29,580 and 249 shares of restricted class A common stock forfeited under our stock-based incentive plans during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. See Note 14 for further discussion of our stock-based incentive plans. 0001061630 2021-01-01 2021-09-30 0001061630 2021-09-30 0001061630 2020-12-31 0001061630 2021-07-01 2021-09-30 0001061630

1. ORGANIZATION
References herein to “Blackstone Mortgage Trust,” “Company,” “we,” “us” or “our” refer to Blackstone Mortgage Trust, Inc. and its subsidiaries unless the context specifically requires otherwise.
Blackstone Mortgage Trust is a real estate finance company that originates senior loans collateralized by commercial real estate in North America, Europe, and Australia. Our portfolio is composed primarily of loans secured by high-quality, institutional assets in major markets, sponsored by experienced, well-capitalized real estate investment owners and operators. These senior loans are capitalized by accessing a variety of financing options, including borrowing under our credit facilities, issuing CLOs or single-asset securitizations, and syndicating senior loan participations, depending on our view of the most prudent financing option available for each of our investments. We are not in the business of buying or trading securities, and the only securities we own are the retained interests from our securitization financing transactions, which we have not financed. We are externally managed by BXMT Advisors L.L.C., or our Manager, a subsidiary of Blackstone Inc., or Blackstone, and are a real estate investment trust, or REIT, traded on the New York Stock Exchange, or NYSE, under the symbol “BXMT.” Our principal executive offices are located at 345 Park Avenue, 24th Floor, New York, New York 10154. We were incorporated in Maryland in 1998, when we reorganized from a California common law business trust into a Maryland corporation.
We conduct our operations as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes. We generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income taxes on our taxable income to the extent that we annually distribute all of our net taxable income to stockholders and maintain our qualification as a REIT. We also operate our business in a manner that permits us to maintain an exclusion from registration under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. We are organized as a holding company and conduct our business primarily through our various subsidiaries.     
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or GAAP, for interim financial information and the instructions to Form
10-Q
and Rule
10-01
of Regulation
S-X.
The consolidated financial statements, including the notes thereto, are unaudited and exclude some of the disclosures required in audited financial statements. We believe we have made all necessary adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring items, so that the consolidated financial statements are presented fairly and that estimates made in preparing our consolidated financial statements are reasonable and prudent. The operating results presented for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the entire year. The accompanying unaudited consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form
10-K
for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include, on a consolidated basis, our accounts, the accounts of our wholly-owned subsidiaries, majority-owned subsidiaries, and variable interest entities, or VIEs, of which we are the primary beneficiary. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Certain reclassifications have been made in the presentation of the prior period statements of changes in equity, statements of cash flows, and loans receivable in Note 3 to conform to the current period presentation.
Principles of Consolidation
We consolidate all entities that we control through either majority ownership or voting rights. In addition, we consolidate all VIEs of which we are considered the primary beneficiary. VIEs are defined as entities in which equity investors (i) do not have the characteristics of a controlling financial interest and/or (ii) do not have sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties. The entity that consolidates a VIE is known as its primary beneficiary and is generally the entity with (i) the power to direct the activities that most significantly affect the VIE’s economic performance and (ii) the right to receive benefits from the VIE or the obligation to absorb losses of the VIE that could be significant to the VIE.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
(Unaudited)
 
In the third quarter of 2018, we contributed a loan to a single asset securitization vehicle, or the 2018 Single Asset Securitization, which is a VIE, and invested in the related subordinate position. We are not the primary beneficiary of the VIE because we do not have the power to direct the activities that most significantly affect the VIE’s economic performance and, therefore, do not consolidate the 2018 Single Asset Securitization on our balance sheet. We have classified the subordinate position we own as a
held-to-maturity
debt security that is included in other assets on our consolidated balance sheets. Refer to Note 16 for additional discussion of our VIEs.
In April 2017, we entered into a joint venture, or our Multifamily Joint Venture, with Walker & Dunlop Inc. to originate, hold, and finance multifamily bridge loans. Pursuant to the terms of the agreements governing the joint venture, Walker & Dunlop contributed 15% of the venture’s equity capital and we contributed 85%. We consolidate the Multifamily Joint Venture as we have a controlling financial interest. The
non-controlling
interests included on our consolidated balance sheets represent the equity interests in our Multifamily Joint Venture that are owned by Walker & Dunlop. A portion of our Multifamily Joint Venture’s consolidated equity and results of operations are allocated to these
non-controlling
interests based on Walker & Dunlop’s pro rata ownership of our Multifamily Joint Venture.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated 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 as of the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The novel coronavirus, or
COVID-19
has significantly impacted the global economy since the beginning of 2020 and has, among other things, created disruption in global supply chains, increased rates of unemployment and adversely impacted many industries, including industries related to the collateral underlying certain of our loans. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the global economy has, with certain setbacks, begun reopening and wider distribution of vaccines and easing of travel and other restrictions appear to be encouraging greater economic activity. Nonetheless, the recovery could remain uneven, particularly given uncertainty with respect to the distribution and acceptance of the vaccines and their effectiveness with respect to new variants of the virus. As a result, we are still unable to predict when normal economic activity and business operations will fully resume. We believe the estimates and assumptions underlying our consolidated financial statements are reasonable and supportable based on the information available as of September 30, 2021, however uncertainty over the ultimate impact
COVID-19
will have on the global economy generally, and our business in particular, makes any estimates and assumptions as of September 30, 2021 inherently less certain than they would be absent the current and potential impacts of
COVID-19.
Actual results may ultimately differ materially from those estimates.    
Revenue Recognition
Interest income from our loans receivable portfolio and debt securities is recognized over the life of each investment using the effective interest method and is recorded on the accrual basis. Recognition of fees, premiums, and discounts associated with these investments is deferred and recorded over the term of the loan or debt security as an adjustment to yield. Income accrual is generally suspended for loans at the earlier of the date at which payments become 90 days past due or when, in the opinion of our Manager, recovery of income and principal becomes doubtful. Interest received is then recorded as a reduction in the outstanding principal balance until accrual is resumed when the loan becomes contractually current and performance is demonstrated to be resumed. In addition, for loans we originate, the related origination expenses are deferred and recognized as a component of interest income, however expenses related to loans we acquire are included in general and administrative expenses as incurred.
Cash, Cash Equivalents, and Restricted Cash
Cash and cash equivalents represent cash held in banks and liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less. We may have bank balances in excess of federally insured amounts; however, we deposit our cash and cash equivalents with high credit-quality institutions to minimize credit risk exposure. We have not experienced, and do not expect, any losses on our cash or cash equivalents.
Restricted cash represents cash collateral held within our 2021 FL4 collateralized loan obligation and is included in Other Assets on our consolidated balance sheets. See Note 6 for further discussion of the 2021 FL4 collateralized loan obligation.

Through our subsidiaries, we have oversight of certain servicing accounts held with third-party servicers, or Servicing Accounts, which relate to borrower escrows and other cash balances aggregating $426.6 million and $384.6 million as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. This cash is maintained in segregated bank accounts, and these amounts are not included in the assets and liabilities presented in our consolidated balance sheets. Cash in these Servicing Accounts will be transferred by the respective third-party servicer to the borrower or us under the terms of the applicable loan agreement upon occurrence of certain future events. We do not generate any revenue or incur any expenses as a result of these Servicing Accounts.
Loans Receivable
We originate and purchase commercial real estate debt and related instruments generally to be held as long-term investments at amortized cost.
Debt Securities
Held-to-Maturity
We classify our debt securities as
held-to-maturity,
as we have the intent and ability to hold these securities until maturity. We include our debt securities in other assets on our consolidated balance sheets at amortized cost.
Current Expected Credit Losses Reserve
The current expected credit loss, or CECL, reserve required under Accounting Standard Update, or ASU,
2016-13
“Financial Instruments – Credit Losses – Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (Topic 326),” or ASU
2016-13,
reflects our current estimate of potential credit losses related to our loans and debt securities included in our consolidated balance sheets. The initial CECL reserve recorded on January 1, 2020 is reflected as a direct charge to retained earnings on our consolidated statements of changes in equity; however subsequent changes to the CECL reserve are recognized through net income on our consolidated statements of operations. While ASU
2016-13
does not require any particular method for determining the CECL reserve, it does specify the reserve should be based on relevant information about past events, including historical loss experience, current portfolio and market conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts for the duration of each respective loan. In addition, other than a few narrow exceptions, ASU
2016-13
requires that all financial instruments subject to the CECL model have some amount of loss reserve to reflect the GAAP principal underlying the CECL model that all loans, debt securities, and similar assets have some inherent risk of loss, regardless of credit quality, subordinate capital, or other mitigating factors.    
We estimate our CECL reserve primarily using the Weighted Average Remaining Maturity, or WARM, method which has been identified as an acceptable loss-rate method for estimating CECL reserves in the Financial Accounting Standards Board Staff Q&A Topic 326, No. 1. The WARM method requires us to reference historic loan loss data across a comparable data set and apply such loss rate to each of our loans over their expected remaining term, taking into consideration expected economic conditions over the relevant timeframe. We apply the WARM method for the majority of our loan portfolio, which loans share similar risk characteristics. In certain instances, for loans with unique risk characteristics, we may instead use a probability-weighted model that considers the likelihood of default and expected loss given default for each such individual loan.    
Application of the WARM method to estimate a CECL reserve requires judgment, including (i) the appropriate historical loan loss reference data, (ii) the expected timing and amount of future loan fundings and repayments, and (iii) the current credit quality of our portfolio and our expectations of performance, and (iv) market conditions over the relevant time period. To estimate the historic loan losses relevant to our portfolio, we have augmented our historical loan performance, which includes zero realized loan losses since the launch of our senior loan origination business in 2013, with market loan loss data licensed from Trepp LLC. This database includes commercial mortgage-backed securities, or CMBS, issued since January 1, 1999 through August 31, 2021. Within this database, we focused our
 
12
Table of Contents
Blackstone Mortgage Trust, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
(Unaudited)
 
historical loss reference calculations on the most relevant subset of available CMBS data, which we determined based on loan metrics that are most comparable to our loan portfolio including asset type, geography, and origination
loan-to-value,
or LTV. We believe this CMBS data, which includes month-over-month loan and property performance, is the most relevant, available, and comparable dataset to our portfolio.    
Our loans typically include commitments to fund incremental proceeds to our borrowers over the life of the loan, which future funding commitments are also subject to the CECL model. The CECL reserve related to future loan fundings is recorded as a component of Other Liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets. This CECL reserve is estimated using the same process outlined above for our outstanding loan balances, and changes in this component of the CECL reserve will similarly impact our consolidated net income. For both the funded and unfunded portions of our loans, we consider our internal risk rating of each loan as the primary credit quality indicator underlying our assessment.    
The CECL reserve is measured on a collective basis wherever similar risk characteristics exist within a pool of similar assets. We have identified the following pools and measure the reserve for credit losses using the following methods:    
 
 • 
U.S. Loans
: WARM method that incorporates a subset of historical loss data, expected weighted-average remaining maturity of our loan pool, and an economic view.
 
 • 
Non-U.S.
Loans
: WARM method that incorporates a subset of historical loss data, expected weighted average remaining maturity of our loan pool, and an economic view.
 
 • 
Unique Loans
: a probability of default and loss given default model, assessed on an individual basis.
 
 • 
Impaired Loans
:
impairment is indicated when it is deemed probable that we will not be able to collect all amounts due to us pursuant to the contractual terms of the loan. Determining that a loan is impaired requires significant judgment from management and is based on several factors including (i) the underlying collateral performance, (ii) discussions with the borrower, (iii) borrower events of default, and (iv) other facts that impact the borrower’s ability to pay the contractual amounts due under the terms of the loan. If a loan is determined to be impaired, we record the impairment as a component of our CECL reserve by applying the practical expedient for collateral dependent loans. The CECL reserve is assessed on an individual basis for these loans by comparing the estimated fair value of the underlying collateral, less costs to sell, to the book value of the respective loan. These valuations require significant judgments, which include assumptions regarding capitalization rates, discount rates, leasing, creditworthiness of major tenants, occupancy rates, availability and cost of financing, exit plan, loan sponsorship, actions of other lenders, and other factors deemed relevant by our Manager. Actual losses, if any, could ultimately differ materially from these estimates. We only expect to realize the impairment losses 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 concluded if, in our determination, it is nearly certain that all amounts due will not be collected.

We adopted ASU
2016-13
using the modified-retrospective method for all financial assets measured at amortized cost. Prior to our adoption, we had no loan loss provisions on our consolidated balance sheets. We recorded a cumulative-effective adjustment to the opening retained earnings in our consolidated statement of equity as of January 1, 2020.

Contractual Term and Unfunded Loan Commitments    
Expected credit losses are estimated over the contractual term of each loan, adjusted for expected prepayments. As part of our quarterly review of our loan portfolio, we assess the expected repayment date of each loan, which is used to determine the contractual term for purposes of computing our CECL reserve.    
Additionally, the expected credit losses over the contractual period of our loans are subject to the obligation to extend credit through our unfunded loan commitments. The CECL reserve for unfunded loan commitments is adjusted quarterly, as we consider the expected timing of future funding obligations over the estimated life of the loan. The considerations in estimating our CECL reserve for unfunded loan commitments are similar to those used for the related outstanding loan receivables.    
Credit Quality Indicator
Our risk rating is our primary credit quality indicator in assessing our current expected credit loss reserve. Our Manager performs a quarterly risk review of our portfolio of loans, and assigns each loan a risk rating based on a variety of factors, including, without limitation, LTV, debt yield, property type, geographic and local market dynamics, physical condition, cash flow volatility, leasing and tenant profile, loan structure and exit plan, and project sponsorship. Based on a
5-point
scale, our loans are rated “l” through “5,” from less risk to greater risk, relative to our loan portfolio in the aggregate, which ratings are defined as follows:    
 
  
1 -
 
Very Low Risk
   
  
2 -
 
Low Risk
   
  
3 -
 
Medium Risk
   
  
4 -
 
High Risk/Potential for Loss:
A loan that has a risk of realizing a principal loss.
   
  
5 -
 
Impaired/Loss Likely:
A loan that has a very high risk of realizing a principal loss or has otherwise incurred a principal loss.

Estimation of Economic Conditions
In addition to the WARM method computations and probability-weighted models described above, our CECL reserve is also adjusted to reflect our estimation of the current and future economic conditions that impact the performance of the commercial real estate assets securing our loans. These estimations include unemployment rates, interest rates, and other macroeconomic factors impacting the likelihood and magnitude of potential credit losses for our loans during their anticipated term. In addition to the CMBS data we have licensed from Trepp LLC, we have also licensed certain macroeconomic financial forecasts to inform our view of the potential future impact that broader economic conditions may have on our loan portfolio’s performance. These estimations require significant judgments about future events that, while based on the information available to us as of the balance sheet date, are ultimately indeterminate and the actual economic condition impacting our portfolio could vary significantly from the estimates we made as of September 30, 2021.    
Derivative Financial Instruments
We classify all derivative financial instruments as either other assets or other liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets at fair value.
On the date we enter into a derivative contract, we designate each contract as (i) a hedge of a net investment in a foreign operation, or net investment hedge, (ii) a hedge of a forecasted transaction or of the variability of cash flows to be received or paid related to a recognized asset or liability, or cash flow hedge, (iii) a hedge of a recognized asset or liability, or fair value hedge, or (iv) a derivative instrument not to be designated as a hedging derivative, or
non-designated
hedge. For all derivatives other than those designated as
non-designated
hedges, we formally document our hedge relationships and designation at the contract’s inception. This documentation includes the identification of the hedging instruments and the hedged items, its risk management objectives, strategy for undertaking the hedge transaction and our evaluation of the effectiveness of its hedged transaction.
On a quarterly basis, we also formally assess whether the derivative we designated in each hedging relationship is expected to be, and has been, highly effective in offsetting changes in the value or cash flows of the hedged items. If it is determined that a derivative is not highly effective at hedging the designated exposure, hedge accounting is discontinued and the changes in fair value of the instrument are included in net income prospectively. Effective April 1, 2020, our net investment hedges are assessed using a method based on changes in spot exchange rates. Gains and losses, representing hedge components excluded from the assessment of effectiveness, are recognized in interest income on our consolidated statements of operations over the contractual term of our net investment hedges on a systematic and rational basis, as documented at hedge inception in accordance with our accounting policy election. All other changes in the fair value of our derivative instruments that qualify as hedges are reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) on our consolidated financial statements. Deferred gains and losses are reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and into net income in the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings, and are presented in the same line item as the earnings effect of the hedged item. For cash flow hedges, this is typically when the periodic swap settlements are made, while for net investment hedges, this occurs when the hedged item is sold or substantially liquidated. To the extent a derivative does not qualify for hedge accounting and is deemed a
non-designated
hedge, the changes in its fair value are included in net income concurrently.    
Secured Debt and Asset-Specific Debt
We record investments financed with secured debt or asset-specific debt as separate assets and the related borrowings under any secured debt or asset-specific debt are recorded as separate liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets. Interest income earned on the investments and interest expense incurred on the secured debt or asset-specific debt are reported separately on our consolidated statements of operations.    
Senior Loan Participations
In certain instances, we finance our loans through
the non-recourse syndication
of a senior loan interest to a third-party. Depending on the particular structure of the syndication, the senior loan interest may remain on our GAAP balance sheet or, in other cases, the sale will be recognized and the senior loan interest will no longer be included in our consolidated financial statements. When these sales are not recognized under GAAP we reflect the transaction by recording a loan participations sold liability on our consolidated balance sheet, however this gross presentation does not impact stockholders’ equity or net income. When the sales are recognized, our balance sheet only includes our remaining subordinate loan and not
the non-consolidated senior
interest we sold.

Term Loans
We record our term loans as liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets. Where applicable, any issue discount or transaction expenses are deferred and amortized through the maturity date of the term loans as additional
non-cash
interest expense.    
Convertible Notes
The “Debt with Conversion and Other Options” Topic of the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, Accounting Standards Codification, or ASC, requires the liability and equity components of convertible debt instruments that may be settled in cash upon conversion, including partial cash settlement, to be separately accounted for in a manner that reflects the issuer’s nonconvertible debt borrowing rate. The initial proceeds from the sale of convertible notes are allocated between a liability component and an equity component in a manner that reflects interest expense at the rate of similar nonconvertible debt that could have been issued at such time. The equity component represents the excess initial proceeds received over the fair value of the liability component of the notes as of the date of issuance. We measured the estimated fair value of the debt component of our convertible notes as of the respective issuance dates based on our nonconvertible debt borrowing rate. The equity component of each series of our convertible notes is reflected within additional
paid-in
capital on our consolidated balance sheet, and the resulting issue discount is amortized over the period during which such convertible notes are expected to be outstanding (through the maturity date) as additional
non-cash
interest expense. The additional
non-cash
interest expense attributable to such convertible notes will increase in subsequent periods through the maturity date as the notes accrete to their par value over the same period.
Deferred Financing Costs
The deferred financing costs that are included as a reduction in the net book value of the related liability on our consolidated balance sheets include issuance and other costs related to our debt obligations. These costs are amortized as interest expense using the effective interest method over the life of the related obligations.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” Topic of the FASB, or ASC 820, defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and requires certain disclosures about fair value measurements under GAAP. Specifically, this guidance defines fair value based on exit price, or the price that would be received upon the sale of an asset or the transfer of a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.
ASC 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes and ranks the level of market price observability used in measuring financial instruments. Market price observability is affected by a number of factors, including the type of financial instrument, the characteristics specific to the financial instrument, and the state of the marketplace, including the existence and transparency of transactions between market participants. Financial instruments with readily available quoted prices in active markets generally will have a higher degree of market price observability and a lesser degree of judgment used in measuring fair value.
Financial instruments measured and reported at fair value are classified and disclosed based on the observability of inputs used in the determination, as follows:
 
 • 
Level 1: Generally includes only unadjusted quoted prices that are available in active markets for identical financial instruments as of the reporting date.
 
 • 
Level 2: Pricing inputs include quoted prices in active markets for similar instruments, quoted prices in less active or inactive markets for identical or similar instruments where multiple price quotes can be obtained, and other observable inputs, such as interest rates, yield curves, credit risks, and default rates.
 
 • 
Level 3: Pricing inputs are unobservable for the financial instruments and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the financial instrument. These inputs require significant judgment or estimation by management of third-parties when determining fair value and generally represent anything that does not meet the criteria of Levels 1 and 2.
 
16
Table of Contents
Blackstone Mortgage Trust, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
(Unaudited)
 
The estimated value of each asset reported at fair value using Level 3 inputs is determined by an internal committee composed of members of senior management of our Manager, including our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, and other senior officers.
Certain of our other assets are reported at fair value, as of
quarter-end,
either (i) on a recurring basis or (ii) on a nonrecurring basis, as a result of impairment or other events. Our assets that are recorded at fair value are discussed further in Note 15. We generally value our assets recorded at fair value by either (i) discounting expected cash flows based on assumptions regarding the collection of principal and interest and estimated market rates, or (ii) obtaining assessments from third-party dealers. For collateral-dependent loans that are identified as impaired, we measure impairment by comparing our Manager’s estimation of the fair value of the underlying collateral, less costs to sell, to the book value of the respective loan. These valuations require significant judgments, which include assumptions regarding capitalization rates, discount rates, leasing, creditworthiness of major tenants, occupancy rates, availability and cost of financing, exit plan, loan sponsorship, actions of other lenders, and other factors deemed relevant by our Manager.    
During the three months ended June 30, 2020, we recorded an aggregate $69.7 million CECL reserve specifically related to two of our loans receivable, which was unchanged as of September 30, 2021. These two loans have an aggregate outstanding principal balance of $338.7 million, net of cost-recovery proceeds, as of September 30, 2021. The CECL reserve was recorded based on our Manager’s estimation of the fair value of the loan’s underlying collateral as of September 30, 2021. These loans receivable are therefore measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis using significant unobservable inputs, and are classified as Level 3 assets in the fair value hierarchy. The significant unobservable inputs used to estimate the fair value of these loans receivable include the exit capitalization rate assumption used to forecast the future sale price of the underlying real estate collateral, which ranged from 4.25% to 4.80%.    
We are also required by GAAP to disclose fair value information about financial instruments, which are not otherwise reported at fair value in our consolidated balance sheet, to the extent it is practicable to estimate a fair value for those instruments. These disclosure requirements exclude certain financial instruments and all
non-financial
instruments.
The following methods and assumptions are used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments, for which it is practicable to estimate that value:
 
 • 
Cash and cash equivalents: The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents approximates fair value.
 
 • 
Loans receivable, net: The fair values of these loans were estimated by our Manager based on a discounted cash flow methodology, taking into consideration various factors including capitalization rates, discount rates, leasing, credit worthiness of major tenants, occupancy rates, availability and cost of financing, exit plan, loan sponsorship, actions of other lenders, and other factors deemed relevant by our Manager.
 
 • 
Debt securities
held-to-maturity:
The fair value of these instruments was estimated by utilizing third-party pricing service providers assuming the securities are not sold prior to maturity. In determining the value of a particular investment, pricing service providers may use broker-dealer quotations, reported trades, or valuation estimates from their internal pricing models to determine the reported price.
 
 • 
Derivative financial instruments: The fair value of our foreign currency and interest rate contracts was estimated using advice from a third-party derivative specialist, based on contractual cash flows and observable inputs comprising foreign currency rates and credit spreads.
 
 • 
Secured debt, net: The fair value of these instruments was estimated based on the rate at which a similar credit facility would currently be priced.

Income Taxes
Our financial results generally do not reflect provisions for current or deferred income taxes on our REIT taxable income. We believe that we operate in a manner that will continue to allow us to be taxed as a REIT and, as a result, we generally do not expect to pay substantial corporate level taxes other than those payable by our taxable REIT subsidiaries. If we were to fail to meet these requirements, we may be subject to federal, state, and local income tax on current and past income, and penalties. Refer to Note 13 for additional information.
Stock-Based Compensation
Our stock-based compensation consists of awards issued to our Manager and certain individuals employed by an affiliate of our Manager that vest over the life of the awards, as well as deferred stock units issued to certain members of our board of directors. Stock-based compensation expense is recognized for these awards in net income on a variable basis over the applicable vesting period of the awards, based on the value of our class A common stock. Refer to Note 14 for
 
additional information.
Earnings per Share
Basic earnings per share, or Basic EPS, is computed in accordance with the
two-class
method and is based on the net earnings allocable to our class A common stock, including restricted class A common stock and deferred stock units, divided by the weighted-average number of shares of our class A common stock, including restricted class A common stock and deferred stock units outstanding during the period. Our restricted class A common stock is considered a participating security, as defined by GAAP, and has been included in our Basic EPS under the
two-class
method as these restricted shares have the same rights as our other shares of class A common stock, including participating in any gains or losses.
Diluted earnings per share, or Diluted EPS, is determined using the treasury stock method, and is based on the net earnings allocable to our class A common stock, including restricted class A common stock and deferred stock units, divided by the weighted-average number of shares of our class A common stock, including restricted class A common stock and deferred stock units. Refer to Note 11 for additional discussion of earnings per share.
Foreign Currency
In the normal course of business, we enter into transactions not denominated in United States, or U.S., dollars. Foreign exchange gains and losses arising on such transactions are recorded as a gain or loss in our consolidated statements of operations. In addition, we consolidate entities that have a
non-U.S.
dollar functional currency.
Non-U.S.
dollar denominated assets and liabilities are translated to U.S. dollars at the exchange rate prevailing at the reporting date and income, expenses, gains, and losses are translated at the average exchange rate over the applicable period. Cumulative translation adjustments arising from the translation of
non-U.S.
dollar denominated subsidiaries are recorded in other comprehensive income (loss).
Underwriting Commissions and Offering Costs
Underwriting commissions and offering costs incurred in connection with common stock offerings are reflected as a reduction of additional
paid-in
capital. Costs incurred that are not directly associated with the completion of a common stock offering are expensed when incurred.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU
2020-04
“Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting,” or ASU
2020-04.
ASU
2020-04
provides optional expedients and exceptions to GAAP requirements for modifications on debt instruments, leases, derivatives, and other contracts, related to the expected market transition from LIBOR, and certain other floating rate benchmark indices, or
 
18

collectively, IBORs, to alternative reference rates. ASU
2020-04
generally considers contract modifications related to reference rate reform to be an event that does not require contract remeasurement at the modification date nor a reassessment of a previous accounting determination. In January 2021, the FASB issued ASU
2021-01
“Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Scope,” or ASU
2021-01.
ASU
2021-01
clarifies that the practical expedients in ASU
2020-04
apply to derivatives impacted by changes in the interest rate used for margining, discounting, or contract price alignment.
The guidance in ASU
2020-04
is optional and may be elected over time, through December 31, 2022, as reference rate reform activities occur. Once ASU
2020-04
is elected, the guidance must be applied prospectively for all eligible contract modifications. In the first quarter of 2020, we have elected to apply the hedge accounting expedients, related to probability and the assessments of effectiveness, for future IBOR-indexed cash flows, to assume that the index upon which future hedged transactions will be based matches the index on the corresponding derivatives. Application of these expedients preserves the presentation of derivatives consistent with our past presentation. We continue to evaluate the impact of ASU
2020-04
and may apply other elections, as applicable, as the expected market transition from IBORs to alternative reference rates continues to develop.    
In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU
2020-06
“Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic
470-20)
and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic
815-40):
Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity,” or ASU
2020-06.
ASU
2020-06
simplifies the accounting for convertible debt by eliminating the beneficial conversion and cash conversion accounting models. ASU
2020-06
also updates the earnings per share calculation and requires entities to assume share settlement when the convertible debt can be settled in cash or shares. ASU
2020-06
is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021 and is to be adopted through a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings either at the date of adoption or in the first comparative period presented. Upon adoption of ASU
2020-06,
convertible debt proceeds, unless issued with a substantial premium or an embedded conversion feature, will no longer be allocated between debt and equity components. This will reduce the issue discount and result in less
non-cash
interest expense in our consolidated financial statements. Additionally, ASU
2020-06
will result in the reporting of a diluted earnings per share, if the effect is dilutive, in our consolidated financial statements, regardless of our settlement intent. We expect to adopt ASU
2020-06
using the modified retrospective method of transition, which we expect will result in an aggregate decrease to our additional
paid-in
capital of $2.4 million and an aggregate decrease to our accumulated deficit of $2.0 million, as of January 1, 2022.
Reference Rate Reform
LIBOR and certain other floating rate benchmark indices to which our floating rate loans and other loan agreements are tied, including, without limitation, the Euro Interbank Offered Rate, or EURIBOR, the Stockholm Interbank Offered Rate, or STIBOR, the Canadian Dollar Offered Rate, or CDOR, and the Australian Bank Bill Swap Reference Rate, or BBSY, or collectively, IBORs, are the subject of recent national, international and regulatory guidance and proposals for reform. On March 5, 2021, the Financial Conduct Authority of the U.K., or FCA, which has statutory powers to require panel banks to contribute to LIBOR where necessary, announced it would cease publication of certain IBORs, including
one-week
and
two-month
USD LIBOR and all tenors of GBP LIBOR, immediately after December 31, 2021 and cease the publication of the remaining tenors of USD LIBOR immediately after June 30, 2023. Additionally, the Federal Reserve Board, Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, Office of the Comptroller of Currency, and other interagency regulatory bodies have advised U.S. banks to stop entering into new USD LIBOR based contracts by December 31, 2021.
The U.S. Federal Reserve, in conjunction with the Alternative Reference Rates Committee, a steering committee comprised of large U.S. financial institutions, has identified the Secured Overnight Financing Rate, or SOFR, a new index calculated using short-term repurchase agreements backed by Treasury securities, as its preferred alternative rate for USD LIBOR. In the U.K., the Bank of England’s working group on Sterling risk free rates set March 31, 2021 as the target date under which GBP LIBOR may no longer be used as the reference rate for new loan products with maturities after December 31, 2021. Market participants have started to transition to the Sterling Overnight Index Average, or SONIA, in line with guidance from the U.K. regulators. As of September 30, 2021, the floating benchmark rate for the financing provided on the 2020 FL3 and 2020 FL2 CLOs is the
30-day
average compounded SOFR, plus a credit spread adjustment of 0.11%. As of September 30, 2021, the
30-day
average compounded SOFR was 0.05% and
one-month
USD LIBOR was 0.08%. Additionally, as of September 30, 2021, daily compounded SONIA is utilized as the floating benchmark rate on f
ive
 of our loans and two of our credit facilities. As of September 30, 2021, SONIA was 0.05% and three-month GBP LIBOR was 0.08%.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)

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. Despite the LIBOR transition in other markets, benchmark rate methodologies in Europe, Canada, and Australia have been reformed and rates such as EURIBOR, STIBOR, CDOR, and BBSY may persist as International Organization of Securities Commissions, or IOSCO, compliant reference rates moving forward. However, multi-rate environments may persist in these markets as regulators and working groups have suggested market participants adopt alternative reference rates.
Refer to “Part I. Item 1A. Risk Factors—Risks Related to Our Lending and Investment Activities—The expected discontinuation of currently used financial reference rates and use of alternative replacement reference rates may adversely affect net interest income related to our loans and investments or otherwise adversely affect our results of operations, cash flows and the market value of our investments.” of our Annual Report on Form
10-K
filed with the SEC on February 10, 2021.

(1)  
  
Unfunded commitments will primarily be funded to finance our borrowers’ construction or development of real estate-related assets, capital improvements of existing assets, or lease-related expenditures. These commitments will generally be funded over the term of each loan, subject in certain cases to an expiration date.
(2)  
  
The weighted-average spread and
all-in
yield are expressed as a spread over the relevant floating benchmark rates, which include USD LIBOR, GBP LIBOR, SONIA, EURIBOR, STIBOR, BBSY, and CDOR, as applicable to each loan. As of September 30, 2021, 99.6% of our loans by principal balance earned a floating rate of interest, primarily indexed to USD LIBOR. The other 0.4% of our loans earned a fixed rate of interest. We reflect our fixed rate loans as a spread over the relevant floating benchmark rates, as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, for purposes of the weighted-averages. As of December 31, 2020, 99.4% of our loans by principal balance earned a floating rate of interest, primarily indexed to USD LIBOR. In addition to spread,
all-in
yield includes the amortization of deferred origination and extension fees, loan origination costs and purchase discounts, as well as the accrual of exit fees. Excludes loans accounted for under the cost-recovery method.
(3)  
  
Maximum maturity assumes all extension options are exercised by the borrower, however our loans may be repaid prior to such date. As of September 30, 2021, 44% of our loans by principal balance were subject to yield maintenance or other prepayment restrictions and 56% were open to repayment by the borrower without penalty. As of December 31, 2020, 31% of our loans by principal balance were subject to yield maintenance or other prepayment restrictions and 69% were open to repayment by the borrower without penalty.

Loan Risk Ratings
As further described in Note 2, our Manager evaluates our loan portfolio on a quarterly basis. In conjunction with our quarterly loan portfolio review, our Manager assesses the risk factors of each loan, and assigns a risk rating based on several factors. Factors considered in the assessment include, but are not limited to, risk of loss, current LTV, debt yield, collateral performance, structure, exit plan, and sponsorship. Loans are rated “1” (less risk) through “5” (greater risk), which ratings are defined in Note 2.

(1)
In certain instances, we finance our loans through the
non-recourse
sale of a senior loan interest that is not included in our consolidated financial statements. See Note 2 for further discussion. Total loan exposure encompasses the entire loan we originated and financed, including $997.6 million and $801.8 million of such
non-consolidated
senior interests as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.
(2)
Excludes investment exposure to the 2018 Single Asset Securitization of $493.3 million and $735.5 million as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. See Note 4 for details of the subordinate position we own in the 2018 Single Asset Securitization.
The weighted-average risk rating of our total loan exposure was 2.8 and 3.0 as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. The decrease in risk rating reflects the ongoing market recovery from
COVID-19
and the resulting improvement in the performance of the collateral assets underlying our portfolio, which resulted in several risk rating upgrades in our portfolio during the nine months ended September 30, 2021.
Current Expected Credit Loss Reserve
The CECL reserve required under GAAP reflects our current estimate of potential credit losses related to the loans and debt securities included in our consolidated balance sheets. Refer to Note 2 for further discussion of our CECL reserve.

Our initial CECL reserve of $13.9 million against our loans receivable portfolio, recorded on January 1, 2020, is reflected as a direct charge to retained earnings on our consolidated statements of changes in equity; however subsequent changes to the CECL reserve are recognized through net income on our consolidated statements of operations. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, we recorded an increase of $1.4 million and a decrease of $43.2 million, respectively, in the CECL reserve against our loans receivable portfolio, bringing our total reserve to $130.4 million as of September 30, 2021. The increase in the CECL reserve during the three months

ended September 30, 2021 is primarily due to an increase in the size of our loans receivable portfolio during the three months ended September 30, 2021. The decrease in the CECL reserve during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 reflects the ongoing market recovery from
COVID-19
and the resulting improvement in the performance of the collateral assets underlying our portfolio. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, we recorded a decrease of $1.0 million and an increase of $163.1 million, respectively, in the CECL reserve against our loans receivable portfolio, bringing our total reserve to $177.0 million as of September 30, 2020. See Note 2 for further discussion of
COVID-19.    
During 2020 and 2021, we entered into loan modifications related to a multifamily asset in New York City, which are classified as troubled debt restructurings under GAAP. These modifications included, among other changes, a reduction in the loan’s contractual interest payments and an extension of the loan’s maturity date. During the three months ended June 30, 2020, we recorded a $14.8 million
CECL reserve on this loan, which was unchanged as of September 30, 2021. This loan has an outstanding principal balance of $52.4 million, net of cost-recovery proceeds, as of September 30, 2021. The CECL reserve was recorded based on our Manager’s estimation of the fair value of the loan’s underlying collateral as of September 30, 2021.
During 2020, we entered into a loan modification related to a hospitality asset in New York City, which is classified as a troubled debt restructuring under GAAP. This modification included, among other changes, a reduction in the loan’s contractual interest payments and an extension of the loan’s maturity date. During the three months ended June 30, 2020, we recorded a $54.9 million CECL reserve on this loan, which was unchanged as of September 30, 2021. This loan has an outstanding principal balance of $286.3 million, net of cost-recovery proceeds, as of September 30, 2021. The CECL reserve was recorded based on our Manager’s estimation of the fair value of the loan’s underlying collateral as of September 30, 2021.
As of July 1, 2020, the income accrual was suspended on the two loans detailed above, which had an aggregate outstanding principal balance of $338.7 million, as of September 30, 2021. No income was recorded on these loans subsequent to July 1, 2020.

Our initial CECL reserve of $3.3 million against our unfunded loan commitments, recorded on January 1, 2020, is reflected as a direct charge to retained earnings on our consolidated statements of changes in equity; however subsequent changes to the CECL reserve are recognized through net income on our consolidated statements of operations. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, we recorded an increase of $1.2 million and a decrease of $4.8 million, respectively, in the CECL reserve against our unfunded loan commitments, bringing our total reserve to $5.2 million as of September 30, 2021. The increase in the CECL reserve against our unfunded loan commitments during the three months ended September 30, 2021 is primarily due to an increase in the size of our loans receivable portfolio during the three months ended September 30, 2021. The decrease in the CECL reserve during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 reflects the ongoing market recovery from
COVID-19
and the resulting improvement in the performance of the collateral assets underlying our portfolio. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, we recorded a decrease of $2.9 million and an increase of $8.8 million, respectively, in the CECL reserve against our unfunded loan commitments, bringing our total reserve to $12.1 million as of September 30, 2020.

COVID-19.

Secured Credit Facilities
Our secured credit facilities are bilateral agreements we use to finance diversified pools of senior loan collateral with sufficient flexibility to accommodate our investment and asset management strategy. The facilities are uniformly structured to provide currency, index, and term-matched financing without capital markets based
mark-to-market
provisions.

The availability of funding under our secured credit facilities is based on the amount of approved collateral, which collateral is proposed by us in our discretion and approved by the respective counterparty in its discretion, resulting in a mutually agreed collateral portfolio construction. Certain structural elements of our secured credit facilities, including the limitation on recourse to us and facility economics are influenced by the specific collateral portfolio construction of each facility, and therefore vary within and among the facilities.

Our secured credit facilities generally permit us to increase or decrease the amount advanced against the pledged collateral in our discretion within certain maximum/minimum amount and frequency limitations. As of September 30, 2021, there was an aggregate $306.2 million available to be drawn at our discretion under our credit facilities.
Acquisition Facility
We have a $250.0 million full recourse secured credit facility that is designed to finance eligible first mortgage originations for up to nine months as a bridge to term financing without obtaining discretionary lender approval. The cost of borrowing under the facility is variable, dependent on the type of loan collateral, and its maturity date is April 4, 2023.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, we had no borrowings under the acquisition facility and we recorded interest expense of $925,000, including $262,000 of amortization of deferred fees and expenses. As of September 30, 2021, we had one asset pledged to our acquisition facility and there was an aggregate $146.3 million available to be drawn at our discretion.

6. SECURITIZED DEBT OBLIGATIONS, NET
We have financed certain pools of our loans through collateralized loan obligations, which include the 2021 FL4 CLO, 2020 FL3 CLO, 2020 FL2 CLO, and 2017 FL1 CLO or collectively, the CLOs. We have also financed one of our loans through a single asset securitization vehicle, or the 2017 Single Asset Securitization. The CLOs and the 2017 Single Asset Securitization are consolidated in our financial statements and have issued securitized debt obligations that are
non-recourse
to us. Refer to Note 16 for further discussion of our CLOs and 2017 Single Asset Securitization.

The weighted-average
all-in
yield and cost are expressed as a spread over the relevant floating benchmark rates, which include USD LIBOR and SOFR, as applicable to each securitized debt obligation. As of September 30, 2021, the floating benchmark rate for the financing provided on the 2020 FL3 and 2020 FL2 CLOs is the
30-day
average compounded SOFR, plus a credit spread adjustment of 0.11%. As of September 30, 2021, the
30-day
average compounded SOFR was 0.05% and
one-month
USD LIBOR was 0.08%.
(3)
 
Loan term represents weighted-average final maturity, assuming all extension options are exercised by the borrower. Repayments of securitized debt obligations are tied to timing of the related collateral loan asset repayments. The term of these obligations represents the rated final distribution date of the securitizations.
(4)
 
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, we recorded $10.7 million and $35.2 million, respectively, of interest expense related to our securitized debt obligations.

These floating rate loans and related liabilities are indexed to the various benchmark rates relevant in each arrangement in terms of currency and payment frequency. Therefore the net exposure to each benchmark rate is in direct proportion to our net assets indexed to that rate. In addition to cash coupon, yield/cost includes the amortization of deferred origination fees / financing costs.

The weighted-average term is determined based on the maximum maturity of the corresponding loans, assuming all extension options are exercised by the borrower. Each of our asset-specific debt is term-matched to the corresponding collateral loans.

Represents the shares of class A common stock per $1,000 principal amount of Convertible Notes, which is equivalent to a conversion price of $35.67 and $36.23 per share of class A common stock, respectively, for the May 2017 and March 2018 convertible notes. The cumulative dividend threshold as defined in the respective May 2017 and March 2018 convertible notes supplemental indentures have not been exceeded as of September 30, 2021.
The Convertible Notes are convertible at the holders’ option into shares of our class A common stock, only under specific circumstances, prior to the close of business on January 31, 2022 and December 14, 2022 for the May 2017 and March 2018 convertible notes, respectively, at the applicable conversion rate in effect on the conversion date.​​​​​​​ Thereafter, the Convertible Notes are convertible at the option of the holder at any time until the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date. We may not redeem the Convertible Notes prior to maturity. The last reported sale price of our class A common stock of $30.32 on September 30, 2021 was less than the per share conversion price of the May 2017 and March 2018 convertible notes. We have the intent and ability to settle each series of the Convertible Notes in cash and, as a result, the potential conversion of the Convertible Notes did not have any impact on our diluted earnings per share.
Upon our issuance of the May 2017 convertible notes, we recorded a $979,000 discount based on the implied value of the conversion option and an assumed effective interest rate of 4.57%, as well as $8.4 million of issue discount and issuance costs. Including the amortization of the discount and issuance costs, our total cost of the May 2017 convertible notes issuance is 4.91% per annum.
Upon our issuance of the March 2018 convertible notes, we recorded a $1.5 million discount based on the implied value of the conversion option and an assumed effective interest rate of 5.25%, as well as $5.2 million of issue discount and issuance costs. Including the amortization of the discount and issuance costs, our total cost of the March 2018 convertible notes issuance is 5.49% per annum.

10. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The sole objective of our use of derivative financial instruments is to minimize the risks and/or costs associated with our investments and/or financing transactions. These derivatives may or may not qualify as net investment, cash flow, or fair value hedges under the hedge accounting requirements of ASC 815 – “Derivatives and Hedging.” Derivatives not designated as hedges are not speculative and are used to manage our exposure to interest rate movements and other identified risks. Refer to Note 2 for additional discussion of the accounting for designated and
non-designated
hedges.
The use of derivative financial instruments involves certain risks, including the risk that the counterparties to these contractual arrangements do not perform as agreed. To mitigate this risk, we only enter into derivative financial instruments with counterparties that have appropriate credit ratings and are major financial institutions with which we and our affiliates may also have other financial relationships.
Cash Flow Hedges of Interest Rate Risk
Certain of our transactions expose us to interest rate risks, which include a fixed versus floating rate mismatch between our assets and liabilities. We use derivative financial instruments, which includes interest rate caps, and may also include interest rate swaps, options, floors, and other interest rate derivative contracts, to hedge interest rate risk.
The following tables detail our outstanding interest rate derivatives that were designated as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk (notional amount in thousands):

Amounts reported in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) related to derivatives will be reclassified to interest expense as interest payments are made on our floating rate debt. During the twelve months following September 30, 2021, we estimate that an additional $3,000 will be reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) as an increase to interest expense.
Net Investment Hedges of Foreign Currency Risk
Certain of our international investments expose us to fluctuations in foreign interest rates and currency exchange rates. These fluctuations may impact the value of our cash receipts and payments in terms of our functional currency, the U.S. dollar. We use foreign currency forward contracts to protect the value or fix the amount of certain investments or cash flows in terms of the U.S. dollar.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, we received net cash settlements of $18.3 million and paid net cash settlements of $31.0 million, respectively, on our foreign currency forward contracts. Those amounts are included as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) on our consolidated balance sheets.

During the three months ended September 30, 2021, we recorded total interest and related expenses of $82.7 million, which included interest expense of $5,000 related to our cash flow hedges. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, we recorded total interest and related expenses of $243.4 million, which included interest expense of $7,000.
Credit-Risk Related Contingent Features
We have entered into agreements with certain of our derivative counterparties that contain provisions where if we were to default on any of our indebtedness, including default where repayment of the indebtedness has not been accelerated by the lender, we may also be declared in default on our derivative obligations. In addition, certain of our agreements with our derivative counterparties require that we post collateral to secure net liability positions. As of September 30, 2021, we were in a net asset position with both of our derivative counterparties and did not have any collateral posted under these derivative contracts. As of December 31, 2020, we were in a net liability position with each such derivative counterparty and posted collateral of $51.1 million under these derivative contracts.

Stock and Stock Equivalents
Authorized Capital
As of September 30, 2021, we had the authority to issue up to 500,000,000 shares of stock, consisting of 400,000,000 shares of class A common stock and 100,000,000 shares of preferred stock. Subject to applicable NYSE listing requirements, our board of directors is authorized to cause us to issue additional shares of authorized stock without stockholder approval. In addition, to the extent not issued, currently authorized stock may be reclassified between class A common stock and preferred stock. We did not have any shares of preferred stock issued and outstanding as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020.
Class A Common Stock and Deferred Stock Units
Holders of shares of our class A common stock are entitled to vote on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders and are entitled to receive such dividends as may be authorized by our board of directors and declared by us, in all cases subject to the rights of the holders of shares of outstanding preferred stock, if any.

We also issue restricted class A common stock under our stock-based incentive plans. Refer to Note 14 for additional discussion of these long-term incentive plans. In addition to our class A common stock, we also issue deferred stock units to certain members of our board of directors in lieu of cash compensation for services rendered. These deferred stock units are
non-voting,
but carry the right to receive dividends in the form of additional deferred stock units in an amount equivalent to the cash dividends paid to holders of shares of class A common stock.

Dividend Reinvestment and Direct Stock Purchase Plan
On March 25, 2014, we adopted a dividend reinvestment and direct stock purchase plan, under which we registered and reserved for issuance, in the aggregate, 10,000,000 shares of class A common stock. Under the dividend reinvestment component of this plan, our class A common stockholders can designate all or a portion of their cash dividends to be reinvested in additional shares of class A common stock. The direct stock purchase component allows stockholders and new investors, subject to our approval, to purchase shares of class A common stock directly from us. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, we issued 480 shares and 1,429 shares, respectively, of class A common stock under the dividend reinvestment component of the plan compared to 628 shares and 1,599 shares, respectively, for the same periods in 2020. As of September 30, 2021, a total of 9,990,545 shares of class A common stock remained available for issuance under the dividend reinvestment and direct stock purchase plan.
At the Market Stock Offering Program
On November 14, 2018, we entered into six equity distribution agreements, or ATM Agreements, pursuant to which we may sell, from time to time, up to an aggregate sales price of $500.0 million of our class A common stock. On July 26, 2019, we amended our existing ATM Agreements and entered into one additional ATM Agreement. Sales of class A common stock made pursuant to our ATM Agreements may be made in negotiated transactions or transactions that are deemed to be “at the market” offerings as defined in Rule 415 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Actual sales depend on a variety of factors including market conditions, the trading price of our class A common stock, our capital needs, and our determination of the appropriate sources of funding to meet such needs. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, we did not sell any shares of our class A common stock under ATM Agreements. As of September 30, 2021, sales of our class A common stock with an aggregate sales price of $363.8 million remained available for issuance under our ATM Agreements.
Dividends
We generally intend to distribute substantially all of our taxable income, which does not necessarily equal net income as calculated in accordance with GAAP, to our stockholders each year to comply with the REIT provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the Internal Revenue Code. Our
dividend policy remains subject to revision at the discretion of our board of directors. All distributions will be made at the discretion of our board of directors and will depend upon our taxable income, our financial condition, our maintenance of REIT status, applicable law, and other factors as our board of directors deems relevant.

Earnings Per Share
We calculate our basic and diluted earnings per share using the
two-class
method for all periods presented as the unvested shares of our restricted class A common stock qualify as participating securities, as defined by GAAP. These restricted shares have the same rights as our other shares of class A common stock, including participating in any dividends, and therefore have been included in our basic and diluted net income (loss) per share calculation. Our Convertible Notes are excluded from dilutive earnings per share as we have the intent and ability to settle these instruments in cash.
The following table sets forth the calculation of basic and diluted net income (loss) per share of class A common stock based on the weighted-average of both restricted and unrestricted class A common stock outstanding ($ in thousands, except per share data):

As of September 30, 2021, total accumulated other comprehensive income was $9.9 million, primarily including $69.9 million of net realized and unrealized gains related to changes in the fair value of derivative instruments, offset by $60.0 million of cumulative unrealized currency translation adjustments on assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies. As of December 31, 2020, total accumulated other comprehensive income was $11.2 million, primarily representing (i) $6.4 million of cumulative unrealized currency translation adjustments on assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies, and (ii) $4.8 million of net realized and unrealized gains related to changes in the fair value of derivative instruments.
Non-Controlling
Interests
The
non-controlling
interests included on our consolidated balance sheets represent the equity interests in our Multifamily Joint Venture that are not owned by us. A portion of our Multifamily Joint Venture’s consolidated equity and results of operations are allocated to these
non-controlling
interests based on their pro rata ownership of our Multifamily Joint Venture. As of September 30, 2021, our Multifamily Joint Venture’s total equity was $226.7 million, of which $192.7 million was owned by us, and $34.0 million was allocated to
non-controlling
interests. As of December 31, 2020, our Multifamily Joint Venture’s total equity was $121.1 million, of which $102.9 million was owned by us, and $18.2 million was allocated to

12. OTHER EXPENSES
Our other expenses consist of the management and incentive fees we pay to our Manager and our general and administrative expenses.
Management and Incentive Fees
Pursuant to a management agreement between our Manager and us, or our Management Agreement, our Manager earns a base management fee in an amount equal to 1.50% per annum multiplied by our outstanding equity balance, as defined in the Management Agreement. In addition, our Manager is entitled to an incentive fee in an amount equal to the product of (i) 20% and (ii) the excess of (a) our Core Earnings (as defined in our Management Agreement) for the previous
12-month
period over (b) an amount equal to 7.00% per annum multiplied by our outstanding Equity, provided that our Core Earnings over the prior three-year period is greater than zero. Core Earnings, as defined in our Management Agreement, is generally equal to our GAAP net income (loss), including realized gains and losses not otherwise recognized in current period GAAP net income (loss), and excluding
(i) non-cash
equity compensation expense, (ii) depreciation and amortization, (iii) unrealized gains (losses), (iv) certain
non-cash
items, and (v) incentive management fees.
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, we incurred $15.8 million and $46.9 million, respectively, of management fees payable to our Manager, compared to $15.6 million and $44.8 million during the same period in 2020. In addition, during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, we incurred $3.6 million and $13.2 million, respectively, of incentive fees payable to our Manager, compared to $3.4 million and $13.9 million during the same period in 2020. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, we paid $59.9 million of aggregate management and incentive fees in cash. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, we issued 840,696 shares of class A common stock to our Manager in satisfaction of our aggregate $19.3 million of management and incentive fees accrued in the first quarter of 2020, and paid the remaining $40.7 million in cash.
As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 we had accrued management and incentive fees payable to our Manager of $19.3 million and $19.2 million, respectively, which are included in Other Liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, we recognized an aggregate $293,000 and $869,000, respectively, of expenses related to our Multifamily Joint Venture.
13. INCOME TAXES
We have elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code for U.S. federal income tax purposes. We generally must distribute annually at least 90% of our net taxable income, subject to certain adjustments and excluding any net capital gain, in order for U.S. federal income tax not to apply to our earnings that we distribute. To the extent that we satisfy this distribution requirement, but distribute less than 100% of our net taxable income, we will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on our undistributed taxable income. In addition, we will be subject to a 4% nondeductible excise tax if the actual amount that we pay out to our stockholders in a calendar year is less than a minimum amount specified under U.S. federal tax laws.
 
44
Table of Contents
Blackstone Mortgage Trust, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
(Unaudited)
 
Our qualification as a REIT also depends on our ability to meet various other requirements imposed by the Internal Revenue Code, which relate to organizational structure, diversity of stock ownership, and certain restrictions with regard to the nature of our assets and the sources of our income. Even if we qualify as a REIT, we may be subject to certain U.S. federal income and excise taxes and state and local taxes on our income and assets. If we fail to maintain our qualification as a REIT for any taxable year, we may be subject to material penalties as well as federal, state, and local income tax on our taxable income at regular corporate rates and we would not be able to qualify as a REIT for the subsequent four full taxable years. As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, we were in compliance with all REIT requirements.
Securitization transactions could result in the creation of taxable mortgage pools for federal income tax purposes. As a REIT, so long as we own 100% of the equity interests in a taxable mortgage pool, we generally would not be adversely affected by the characterization of the securitization as a taxable mortgage pool. Certain categories of stockholders, however, such as foreign stockholders eligible for treaty or other benefits, stockholders with net operating losses, and certain
tax-exempt
stockholders that are subject to unrelated business income tax, or UBTI, could be subject to increased taxes on a portion of their dividend income from us that is attributable to the taxable mortgage pool. We have not made UBTI distributions to our common stockholders and do not intend to make such UBTI distributions in the future.
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, we recorded a current income tax provision of $70,000 and $346,000, respectively, primarily related to activities of our taxable REIT subsidiaries and various state and local taxes. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, we recorded a current income tax provision of $20,000 and $192,000, respectively. We did not have any deferred tax assets or liabilities as of September 30, 2021 or December 31, 2020.
We have net operating losses, or NOLs, generated by our predecessor business that may be carried forward and utilized in current or future periods. As a result of our issuance of 25,875,000 shares of class A common stock in May 2013, the availability of our NOLs is generally limited to $2.0 million per annum by change of control provisions promulgated by the Internal Revenue Service with respect to the ownership of Blackstone Mortgage Trust. As of December 31, 2020, we had estimated NOLs of $159.0 million that will expire in 2029, unless they are utilized by us prior to expiration.
As of September 30, 2021, tax years 2017 through 2020 remain subject to examination by taxing authorities.
14. STOCK-BASED INCENTIVE PLANS
We are externally managed by our Manager and do not currently have any employees. However, as of September 30, 2021, our Manager, certain individuals employed by an affiliate of our Manager, and certain members of our board of directors were compensated, in part, through our issuance of stock-based instruments.
We had stock-based incentive awards outstanding under nine benefit plans as of September 30, 2021. Seven of such benefit plans have expired and no new awards may be issued under them. Under our two current benefit plans, a maximum of 5,000,000 shares of our class A common stock may be issued to our Manager, our directors and officers, and certain employees of affiliates of our Manager. As of September 30, 2021, there were 1,978,860 shares available under our current benefit plans.

16. VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES
Consolidated Variable Interest Entities
We have financed a portion of our loans through the CLOs and the 2017 Single Asset Securitization, all of which are VIEs. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the 2017 Single Asset Securitization was liquidated upon full repayment of its collateral assets and all senior securities outstanding. Previously, the 2017 Single Asset Securitization was consolidated by us. We are the primary beneficiary of, and therefore consolidate, the CLOs on our balance sheet as we (i) control the relevant interests of the CLOs that give us power to direct the activities that most significantly affect the CLOs, and (ii) have the right to receive benefits and obligation to absorb losses of the CLOs through the subordinate interests we own.

Assets held by these VIEs are restricted and can be used only to settle obligations of the VIEs, including the subordinate interests owned by us. The liabilities of these VIEs are
non-recourse
to us and can only be satisfied from the assets of the VIEs. The consolidation of these VIEs results in an increase in our gross assets, liabilities, interest income and interest expense, however it does not affect our stockholders’ equity or net income (loss).
Non-Consolidated
Variable Interest Entities
In the third quarter of 2018, we contributed a $517.5 million loan to the $1.0 billion 2018 Single Asset Securitization, which is a VIE, and invested in the related $99.0 million subordinate position. We are not the primary beneficiary of the VIE because we do not have the power to direct the activities that most significantly affect the VIE’s economic performance and, therefore, do not consolidate the 2018 Single Asset Securitization on our balance sheet. We have classified the subordinate position we own as a
held-to-maturity
debt security that is included in other assets on our consolidated balance sheets. Our maximum exposure to loss from the 2018 Single Asset Securitization is limited to our book value of $77.6 million as of September 30, 2021.
We are not obligated to provide, have not provided, and do not intend to provide financial support to these consolidated and
non-consolidated
VIEs.
17. TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PARTIES
We are managed by our Manager pursuant to the Management Agreement, the current term of which expires on December 19, 2021, and will be automatically renewed for a
one-year
term upon such date and each anniversary thereafter unless earlier terminated.
As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, our consolidated balance sheets included $19.3 million and $19.2 million of accrued management and incentive fees payable to our Manager, respectively. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, we paid aggregate management and incentive fees of $21.5 million and $59.9 million, respectively, to our Manager, compared to $20.5 million and $59.9 million during the same periods of 2020. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, we issued 840,696 shares of class A common stock to our Manager in satisfaction of our aggregate $19.3 million of management and incentive fees accrued in the first quarter of 2020. The per share price with respect to such issuance was calculated based on the volume-weighted average price on the NYSE of our class A common stock over the five trading days following our April 29, 2020 first quarter 2020 earnings conference call. In addition, during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, we reimbursed our Manager for expenses incurred on our behalf of $141,000 and $325,000, respectively, compared to $416,000 and $839,000 during the same periods of 2020.
As of September 30, 2021, our Manager held 578,914 shares of unvested restricted class A common stock, which had an aggregate grant date fair value of $18.5 million, and vest in installments over three years from the date of issuance. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, we recorded
non-cash
expenses related to shares held by our Manager of $4.1 million and $12.2 million, respectively, compared to $4.3 million and $12.8 million during the same period of 2020. Refer to Note 14 for further details on our restricted class A common stock.
An affiliate of our Manager is the special servicer of the CLOs. This affiliate did not earn any special servicing fees related to the CLOs during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 or 2020.
During the nine month periods ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, we originated three loans and two loans, respectively, whereby the respective borrowers engaged an affiliate of our Manager to act as title insurance agent in connection with these transactions. We did not incur any expenses or receive any revenues as a result of these transactions.
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, we incurred $100,000 and $291,000, respectively, of expenses for various administrative, compliance, and capital market data services to third-party service providers that are affiliates of our Manager, compared to $98,000 and $369,000 during the same periods of 2020.
In the third quarter of 2021, we originated $246.6 million of a total $503.3 million senior loan to an unaffiliated third-party, which was part of a total financing that included a mezzanine loan originated by a Blackstone-advised investment vehicle. We will forgo all
non-economic
rights under our loan, including voting rights, so long as any Blackstone-advised investment vehicle controls the mezzanine loan. The senior loan terms, with respect to the mezzanine lender, were negotiated by a third party without our involvement and our 49% interest in the senior loan was made on such market terms.

In the third quarter of 2021, we acquired an aggregate £186.0 million of a total £379.6 million senior loan to a borrower that is majority owned by a Blackstone-advised investment vehicle. We will forgo all
non-economic
rights under the loan, including voting rights, so long as the Blackstone-advised investment vehicle controls the borrower. The senior loan terms were negotiated by the original lender prior to our acquisition of the loan without our involvement, and we acquired the loan on such market terms.
In the third quarter of 2021, we
co-originated
$243.6 million of an aggregate $974.5 million senior loan as part of a broadly marketed process. A Blackstone-advised investment vehicle
co-originated
an additional $243.6 million of the loan and unaffiliated third-parties
co-originated
the remaining $487.3 million of the loan. The loan proceeds were used by the borrower to repay an existing loan previously owned by us.
In the third and fourth quarter of 2019, we acquired an aggregate €250.0 million of a total €1.6 billion senior loan to a borrower that is partially owned by a Blackstone-advised investment vehicle. We will forgo all
non-economic
rights under the loan, including voting rights, so long as the Blackstone-advised investment vehicle controls the borrower. The senior loan terms were negotiated by third parties without our involvement and our 16% interest in the senior loan was made on such market terms. In the second quarter of 2021, we acquired an additional €100.0 million interest in the senior loan from an unaffiliated lender, bringing our total interest to 22% of the aggregate senior loan.
In the second quarter of 2021, we acquired an aggregate €50.0 million of a total €491.0 million senior loan to a borrower that is majority owned by a Blackstone-advised investment vehicle. We will forgo all
non-economic
rights under the loan, including voting rights, so long as the Blackstone-advised investment vehicle controls the borrower. The senior loan terms were negotiated by the original lenders prior to our acquisition of the loan without our involvement and our 10% interest in the senior loan was made on such market terms.
In the second quarter of 2021 and 2020, certain Blackstone-advised investment vehicles acquired an aggregate $20.0 million participation, or 5%, of the initial aggregate
B-2
Term Loan as a part of a broad syndication lead-arranged by JP Morgan. Blackstone Securities Partners L.P., an affiliate of our Manager, was engaged as a book-runner for the transaction and received aggregate fees of $350,000 in such capacity. Both of these transactions were on terms equivalent to those of unaffiliated parties.
In the first quarter of 2021 and second quarter and fourth quarter of 2019, certain Blackstone-advised investment vehicles acquired an aggregate $65.5 million participation, or 7%, of the initial aggregate
B-1
Term Loan as a part of a broad syndication lead-arranged by JP Morgan. Blackstone Securities Partners L.P., an affiliate of our Manager, was engaged as a book-runner for the transactions and received aggregate fees of $950,000 in such capacity. Both of these transactions were on terms equivalent to those of unaffiliated parties.
In the first quarter of 2021, we acquired an SEK 5.0 billion interest in a total SEK 10.2 billion senior loan to a borrower that is wholly owned by a Blackstone-advised investment vehicle. We will forgo all
non-economic
rights under the loan, including voting rights, so long as we are an affiliate of the borrower. The senior loan terms were negotiated by a third party without our involvement and our 49% interest in the senior loan was made on such market terms.
In the first quarter of 2020, we acquired a $140.0 million interest in a total $421.5 million senior loan to a borrower that is partially owned by a Blackstone-advised investment vehicle. We will forgo all
non-economic
rights under the loan, including voting rights, so long as we are an affiliate of the borrower. The senior loan terms were negotiated by third parties without our involvement and our 33% interest in the senior loan was made on such market terms.
18. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Impact of
COVID-19
As further discussed in Note 2, the full extent of the impact of
COVID-19
on the global economy generally, and our business in particular, is uncertain. As of September 30, 2021, no contingencies have been recorded on our consolidated balance sheet as a result of
COVID-19,
however as the global pandemic continues and if the economic implications worsen, it may have long-term impacts on our financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows. Refer to Note 2 for further discussion of
COVID-19.

Unfunded Commitments Under Loans Receivable
As of September 30, 2021, we had aggregate unfunded loan commitments of $4.2 billion across 108
loans receivable, and
$2.6 
billion of committed or identified financings for those commitments, resulting in net unfunded commitments of
$1.6 
billion. The unfunded loan commitments comprise funding for capital expenditures and construction, leasing costs, and interest and carry costs, and their funding will vary depending on the progress of capital projects, leasing, and cash flows at the properties securing our loans. Therefore, the exact timing and amounts of such future loan fundings are uncertain and will depend on the current and future performance of the underlying collateral assets. We expect to fund our loan commitments over the remaining term of the related loans, which have a weighted-average future funding period of
3.2 years.

Board of Directors’ Compensation
As of September 30, 2021, of the nine members of our board of directors, our six independent directors are entitled to annual compensation of $210,000 each, of which $95,000 will be paid in the form of cash and $115,000 will be paid in the form of deferred stock units or, beginning in 2022, at their election, shares of restricted common stock. The other three board members, including our chairman and our chief executive officer, are not compensated by us for their service as directors. In addition, (i) the chairs of our audit, compensation, and corporate governance committees receive additional annual cash compensation of $20,000, $15,000, and $10,000, respectively and (ii) the members of our audit and investment risk management committees receive additional annual cash compensation of $10,000 and $7,500, respectively.
Litigation
From time to time, we may be involved in various claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. As of September 30, 2021, we were not involved in any material legal proceedings.
19. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On October 5, 2021, we issued $400.0 million aggregate principal amount of 3.75%
senior secured notes due 2027,
or Secured Notes. The Secured Notes were issued at par and have a maturity date of January 15, 2027. Blackstone Securities Partners L.P., an affiliate of our Manager, served as an initial purchaser for the Secured Notes offering and received compensation of $400,000 in connection therewith.

Introduction
Blackstone Mortgage Trust is a real estate finance company that originates senior loans collateralized by commercial real estate in North America, Europe, and Australia. Our portfolio is composed primarily of loans secured by high-quality, institutional assets in major markets, sponsored by experienced, well-capitalized real estate investment owners and operators. These senior loans are capitalized by accessing a variety of financing options, including borrowing under our credit facilities, issuing CLOs or single-asset securitizations, and syndicating senior loan participations, depending on our view of the most prudent financing option available for each of our investments. We are not in the business of buying or trading securities, and the only securities we own are the retained interests from our securitization financing transactions, which we have not financed. We are externally managed by BXMT Advisors L.L.C., or our Manager, a subsidiary of Blackstone Inc., or Blackstone, and are a real estate investment trust, or REIT, traded on the New York Stock Exchange, or NYSE, under the symbol “BXMT.”
We benefit from the deep knowledge, experience and information advantages of our Manager, which is a part of Blackstone’s real estate platform. Blackstone Real Estate is one of the largest owners and operators of real estate in the world, with a proven track record of successfully navigating market cycles and emerging stronger through periods of volatility. The market-leading real estate expertise derived from the strength of the Blackstone platform deeply informs our credit and underwriting process, and we believe gives us the tools to expertly manage the assets in our portfolio and work with our borrowers throughout periods of economic stress and uncertainty.
We conduct our operations as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes. We generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income taxes on our taxable income to the extent that we annually distribute all of our net taxable income to stockholders and maintain our qualification as a REIT. We also operate our business in a manner that permits us to maintain an exclusion from registration under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. We are organized as a holding company and conduct our business primarily through our various subsidiaries.
Recent Developments
 
COVID-19
The novel coronavirus, or
COVID-19
has significantly impacted the global economy since the beginning of 2020 and has, among other things, created disruption in global supply chains, impacted the job market and adversely impacted many industries, including industries related to the collateral underlying certain of our loans. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the global economy has, with certain setbacks, begun reopening and wider distribution of vaccines and easing of travel and other restrictions appear to be encouraging greater economic activity. Nonetheless, the recovery could remain uneven, particularly given uncertainty with respect to the distribution and acceptance of the vaccines and their effectiveness with respect to new variants of the virus. As a result, we are still unable to predict when normal economic activity and business operations will fully resume.
The outbreak of
COVID-19
and its impact on the current financial, economic and capital markets environment, and future developments in these and other areas present uncertainty and risk with respect to our financial condition, results of operations, liquidity, and ability to pay distributions. Countries around the world continue to grapple with the
51
Table of Contents
economic impacts of the
COVID-19
pandemic and its aftereffects. Although a recovery is partially underway, it continues to be gradual, uneven and characterized by meaningful dispersion across sectors and regions, and could be hindered by persistent or resurgent infection rates and by related travel and other restrictions. The most recent round of U.S. fiscal stimulus could provide meaningful support, along with continued accommodative monetary policy and wider distribution of vaccines. Issues with respect to the distribution and acceptance of vaccines or the spread of new variants of the virus could adversely impact the recovery. Overall, there remains significant uncertainty regarding the timing and duration of the economic recovery, which precludes any prediction as to the ultimate adverse impact of
COVID-19
on economic and market conditions.
Reference Rate Reform
LIBOR and certain other floating rate benchmark indices to which our floating rate loans and other loan agreements are tied, including, without limitation, the Euro Interbank Offered Rate, or EURIBOR, the Stockholm Interbank Offered Rate, or STIBOR, the Canadian Dollar Offered Rate, or CDOR, and the Australian Bank Bill Swap Reference Rate, or BBSY, or collectively, IBORs, are the subject of recent national, international and regulatory guidance and proposals for reform. On March 5, 2021, the Financial Conduct Authority of the U.K., or FCA, which has statutory powers to require panel banks to contribute to LIBOR where necessary, announced it would cease publication of certain IBORs, including
one-week
and
two-month
USD LIBOR and all tenors of GBP LIBOR, immediately after December 31, 2021 and cease the publication of the remaining tenors of USD LIBOR immediately after June 30, 2023. Additionally, the Federal Reserve Board, Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, Office of the Comptroller of Currency, and other interagency regulatory bodies have advised U.S. banks to stop entering into new USD LIBOR based contracts by December 31, 2021.
The U.S. Federal Reserve, in conjunction with the Alternative Reference Rates Committee, a steering committee comprised of large U.S. financial institutions, has identified the Secured Overnight Financing Rate, or SOFR, a new index calculated using short-term repurchase agreements backed by Treasury securities, as its preferred alternative rate for USD LIBOR. In the U.K., the Bank of England’s working group on Sterling risk free rates set March 31, 2021 as the target date under which GBP LIBOR may no longer be used as the reference rate for new loan products with maturities after December 31, 2021. Market participants have started to transition to the Sterling Overnight Index Average, or SONIA, in line with guidance from the U.K. regulators. As of September 30, 2021, the floating benchmark rate for the financing provided on the 2020 FL3 and 2020 FL2 CLOs is the
30-day
average compounded SOFR, plus a credit spread adjustment. Additionally, as of September 30, 2021, daily compounded SONIA is utilized as the floating benchmark rate on five of our loans and two of our credit facilities.
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. Despite the LIBOR transition in other markets, benchmark rate methodologies in Europe, Canada, and Australia have been reformed and rates such as EURIBOR, STIBOR, CDOR, and BBSY may persist as International Organization of Securities Commissions, or IOSCO, compliant reference rates moving forward. However, multi-rate environments may persist in these markets as regulators and working groups have suggested market participants adopt alternative reference rates.
Refer to “Part I. Item 1A. Risk Factors—Risks Related to Our Lending and Investment Activities—The expected discontinuation of currently used financial reference rates and use of alternative replacement reference rates may adversely affect net interest income related to our loans and investments or otherwise adversely affect our results of operations, cash flows and the market value of our investments.” of our Annual Report on Form
10-K
filed with the SEC on February 10, 2021.

I. Key Financial Measures and Indicators
 
As a real estate finance company, we believe the key financial measures and indicators for our business are earnings per share, dividends declared, Distributable Earnings, and book value per share. For the three months ended September 30, 2021 we recorded earnings per share of $0.56, declared a dividend of $0.62 per share, and reported $0.63 per share of Distributable Earnings. In addition, our book value as of September 30, 2021 was $26.92 per share, which is net of a $0.86 cumulative CECL reserve.
As further described below, Distributable Earnings is a measure that is not prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or GAAP, which helps us to evaluate our performance excluding the effects of certain transactions and GAAP adjustments that we believe are not necessarily indicative of our current loan portfolio and operations. In addition, Distributable Earnings is a performance metric we consider when declaring our dividends.    
Earnings Per Share and Dividends Declared
The following table sets forth the calculation of basic and diluted net income per share and dividends declared per share ($ in thousands, except per share data):

Represents net income attributable to Blackstone Mortgage Trust.
Distributable Earnings
Distributable Earnings is a
non-GAAP
measure, which we define as GAAP net income (loss), including realized gains and losses not otherwise recognized in current period GAAP net income (loss), and excluding
(i) non-cash
equity compensation expense, (ii) depreciation and amortization, (iii) unrealized gains (losses), and (iv) certain
non-cash
items. Distributable Earnings may also be adjusted from time to time to exclude
one-time
events pursuant to changes in GAAP and certain other
non-cash
charges as determined by our Manager, subject to approval by a majority of our independent directors. Distributable Earnings mirrors the terms of our management agreement between our Manager and us, or our Management Agreement, for purposes of calculating our incentive fee expense.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, we recorded a $49.4 million decrease in the CECL reserve, which 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 concluded 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. We believe Distributable Earnings is a useful financial metric for existing and potential future holders of our class A common stock as historically, over time, Distributable Earnings has been a strong indicator of our dividends per share. As a REIT, we generally must distribute annually at least 90% of our net taxable income, subject to certain adjustments, and therefore we believe our dividends are one of the principal reasons stockholders may invest in our class A common stock. Refer to Note 13 to our consolidated financial statements for further discussion of our distribution requirements as a REIT. 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.
 
53
Table of Contents
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, 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.

In certain instances, we finance our loans through the
non-recourse
sale of a senior loan interest that is not included in our consolidated financial statements. Total loan exposure encompasses the entire loan we originated and financed, including $997.6 million of such
non-consolidated
senior interests that are not included in our balance sheet portfolio.

Includes investment exposure to the $493.3 million 2018 Single Asset Securitization. We do not consolidate the 2018 Single Asset Securitization on our consolidated financial statements, and instead reflect our $79.2 million subordinate position as a component of other assets on our consolidated balance sheet. Refer to Notes 4 and 16 to our consolidated financial statements for further discussion of the 2018 Single Asset Securitization.
(4) 
 
Unfunded commitments will primarily be funded to finance our borrowers’ construction or development of real estate-related assets, capital improvements of existing assets, or lease-related expenditures. These commitments will generally be funded over the term of each loan, subject in certain cases to an expiration date.
(5)  
 
The weighted-average spread and
all-in
yield are expressed as a spread over the relevant floating benchmark rates, which include USD LIBOR, GBP LIBOR, SONIA, EURIBOR, STIBOR, BBSY, and CDOR, as applicable to each investment. As of September 30, 2021, 98% of our investments by total investment exposure earned a floating rate of interest, primarily indexed to USD LIBOR. The other 2% of our investments earned a fixed rate of interest, which we reflect as a spread over the relevant floating benchmark rates, as of September 30, 2021, for purposes of the weighted-averages. In addition to spread,
all-in
yield includes the amortization of deferred origination and extension fees, loan origination costs, and purchase discounts, as well as the accrual of exit fees. Excludes loans accounted for under the cost-recovery method.
(6)  
 
Maximum maturity assumes all extension options are exercised by the borrower, however our loans and other investments may be repaid prior to such date. As of September 30, 2021, 45% of our loans and other investments by total investment exposure were subject to yield maintenance or other prepayment restrictions and 55% were open to repayment by the borrower without penalty.

We use foreign currency forward contracts to protect the value or fix the amount of certain investments or cash flows in terms of the U.S. dollar. We earn forward points on our forward contracts that reflect the interest rate differentials between the applicable base rate for our foreign currency investments and USD LIBOR. These forward contracts effectively convert the foreign currency rate exposure for such investments to USD LIBOR.
(2)
The cash coupon and
all-in
yield of our fixed rate loans are reflected as a spread over USD LIBOR for purposes of the weighted-averages. In addition to cash coupon,
all-in

Portfolio Management
During the three months ended September 30, 2021, we collected 100% of the contractual interest payments that were due under our loans, with virtually no interest deferrals, including with respect to loans collateralized by hospitality assets, which we believe demonstrates the overall strength of our loan portfolio and the commitment and financial wherewithal of our borrowers generally, which are primarily affiliated with large real estate private equity funds and other strong, well-capitalized, experienced sponsors.
We maintain a robust asset management relationship with our borrowers and have utilized these relationships to address the potential impacts of the
COVID-19
pandemic on our loans secured by properties experiencing cash flow pressure, most significantly hospitality assets. We are generally encouraged by our borrowers’ response to the
COVID-19
pandemic’s impacts on their properties. With limited exceptions, we believe our loan sponsors are committed to supporting assets collateralizing our loans through additional equity investments, and that we will benefit from our long-standing core business model of originating senior loans collateralized by large assets in major markets with experienced, well-capitalized institutional sponsors. Our investment portfolio’s low origination weighted-average LTV of 65.1% as of September 30, 2021 reflects significant equity value that our sponsors are motivated to protect through periods of cyclical disruption. While we believe the principal amounts of our loans are generally adequately protected by underlying collateral value, there is a risk that we will not realize the entire principal value of certain investments.
Our Manager’s portfolio monitoring and asset management operations benefit from the deep knowledge, experience, and information advantages derived from its position as part of Blackstone’s real estate platform. Blackstone Real Estate is one of the largest owners and operators of real estate in the world, with a proven track record of successfully navigating market cycles and emerging stronger through periods of volatility. The market-leading real estate expertise derived from the strength of the Blackstone platform deeply informs our credit and underwriting process, and gives us the tools to expertly asset manage our portfolio and work with our borrowers throughout periods of economic stress and uncertainty.
As discussed in Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements, our Manager performs a quarterly review of our loan portfolio, assesses the performance of each loan, and assigns it a risk rating between “1” and “5,” from less risk to greater risk. The weighted-average risk rating of our total loan exposure was 2.8 and 3.0 as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. The decrease in risk rating reflects the ongoing recovery from
COVID-19
and the improvement of our portfolio’s credit.

In certain instances, we finance our loans through the
non-recourse
sale of a senior loan interest that is not included in our consolidated financial statements. See Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements for further discussion. Total loan exposure encompasses the entire loan we originated and financed, including $997.6 million of such
non-consolidated
senior interests as of September 30, 2021.
 
 (2)
Excludes investment exposure to the $493.3 million 2018 Single Asset Securitization. Refer to Notes 4 and 16 to our consolidated financial statements for details of the subordinate position we own in the 2018 Single Asset Securitization.
 
Current Expected Credit Loss Reserve
The CECL reserve required by GAAP reflects our current estimate of potential credit losses related to our loans and debt securities included in our consolidated balance sheets. Other than a few narrow exceptions, GAAP requires that all financial instruments subject to the CECL model have some amount of loss reserve to reflect the GAAP principal underlying the CECL model that all loans, debt securities, and similar assets have some inherent risk of loss, regardless of credit quality, subordinate capital, or other mitigating factors.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, we recorded an aggregate $49.4 million decrease in the CECL reserve related to loans receivable, debt securities, and unfunded loan commitments, bringing our total reserve to $135.9 million as of September 30, 2021. This CECL reserve reflects the macroeconomic impact of the
COVID-19
pandemic on commercial real estate markets generally, as well as certain loans assessed for impairment in our portfolio. The decrease in the CECL reserve during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 reflects the ongoing market recovery from
COVID-19
and the resulting improvement in the performance of the collateral assets underlying our portfolio. Further, this reserve is not reflective of what we expect our CECL reserve would be absent the current and potential future impacts of the
COVID-19
pandemic. See Notes 2 and 3 to our consolidated financial statements for further discussion of our CECL reserve.
During 2020 and 2021, we entered into loan modifications related to a multifamily asset in New York City, which are classified as troubled debt restructurings under GAAP. During the three months ended June 30, 2020, we recorded a $14.8 million CECL reserve on this loan, which was unchanged as of September 30, 2021. This loan has an outstanding principal balance of $52.4 million, net of cost-recovery proceeds, as of September 30, 2021. The CECL reserve was recorded based on our estimation of the fair value of the loan’s underlying collateral as of September 30, 2021.
During 2020, we entered into a loan modification related to a hospitality asset in New York City, which is classified as a troubled debt restructuring under GAAP. During the three months ended June 30, 2020, we recorded a $54.9 million CECL reserve on this loan, which was unchanged as of September 30, 2021. This loan has an outstanding principal balance of $286.3 million, net of cost-recovery proceeds, as of September 30, 2021. The CECL reserve was recorded based on our estimation of the fair value of the loan’s underlying collateral as of September 30, 2021.

Floating Rate Portfolio
Generally, our business model is such that rising interest rates will increase our net income, while declining interest rates will decrease net income. As of September 30, 2021, 98% of our investments by total investment exposure earned a floating rate of interest and were financed with liabilities that pay interest at floating rates, which resulted in an amount of net equity that is positively correlated to rising interest rates, subject to the impact of interest rate floors on certain of our floating rate investments. As of September 30, 2021, the remaining 2% of our investments by total investment exposure earned a fixed rate of interest, but are financed with liabilities that pay interest at floating rates, which resulted in a negative correlation to rising interest rates to the extent of our financing. In certain instances where we have financed fixed rate assets with floating rate liabilities, we have purchased interest rate caps to limit our exposure to increases in interest rates on such liabilities.
Our liabilities are generally currency and index-matched to each collateral asset, resulting in a net exposure to movements in benchmark rates that varies by currency silo based on the relative proportion of floating rate assets and liabilities.

Income from loans and other investments, net
Income from loans and other investments, net increased $3.5 million during the three months ended September 30, 2021 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2021. The increase was primarily due to (i) an increase in the weighted-average principal balance of our loan portfolio by $957.3 million during the three months ended September 30, 2021, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2021 and (ii) one additional day of net interest income accrued during the three months ended September 30, 2021, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2021. This was offset by an increase in the
weighted-average
principal balance of our outstanding financing arrangements by $864.7 million during the three months ended September 30, 2021, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2021.
Other expenses
Other expenses include management and incentive fees payable to our Manager and general and administrative expenses. Other expenses decreased by $2.0 million during the three months ended September 30, 2021 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2021 primarily due to a $2.4 million decrease of incentive fees payable to our Manager. This was offset by (i) a $213,000 increase in management fees payable to our Manager, primarily as a result of net proceeds received from the sale of shares of our class A common stock during the three months ended September 30, 2021 and (ii) an increase of $111,000 of general operating expenses.
Changes in current expected credit loss reserve
During the three months ended September 30, 2021, we recorded a $2.8 million increase in the current expected credit loss reserve, as compared to a $50.9 million decrease during the three months ended June 30, 2021. The increase in the CECL reserve during the three months ended September 30, 2021 is primarily due to an increase in our loans receivable portfolio during the three months ended September 30, 2021. This CECL reserve reflects the macroeconomic impact of the
COVID-19
pandemic on commercial real estate markets generally, as well as certain loans assessed for impairment in our portfolio. This reserve is not reflective of what we expect our CECL reserve would be absent the current and potential future impacts of the
COVID-19
pandemic. See Notes 2 and 3 to our consolidated financial statements for further discussion of our CECL reserve.

Income from loans and other investments, net
Income from loans and other investments, net increased $17.8 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 as compared to the corresponding period in 2020. The increase was primarily due to (i) the impact of declining LIBOR and other floating rate indices, which had a larger impact on interest expense than interest income as a result of certain of our loans earning interest based on floors that were above the applicable floating rate index during the period, and (ii) an increase in the weighted-average principal balance of our loan portfolio by $1.1 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, as compared to the corresponding period in 2020. This was offset by an increase in the weighted-average principal balance of our outstanding financing arrangements by $936.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, as compared to the corresponding period in 2020.    
Other expenses
Other expenses include management and incentive fees payable to our Manager and general and administrative expenses. Other expenses decreased by $877,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 compared to the corresponding period in 2020 due to a decrease of (i) $1.8 million in
non-cash
restricted stock amortization, due to a decrease in the weighted-average grant date share price of the awards, (ii) $761,000 of incentive fees payable to our Manager, and (iii) $419,000 of general operating expenses. This was offset by an increase of $2.1 million of management fees payable to our Manager, primarily as a result of net proceeds received from the sale of shares of our class A common stock during 2020 and 2021.

Changes in current expected credit loss reserve
During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, we recorded a $49.4 million decrease in the current expected credit loss reserve as compared to a $173.5 million increase during the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The decrease in the CECL reserve during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 reflects the ongoing market recovery from
COVID-19
and the resulting improvement in the performance of the collateral assets underlying our portfolio. This CECL reserve reflects the macroeconomic impact of the
COVID-19
pandemic on commercial real estate markets generally, as well as certain loans assessed for impairment in our portfolio. This reserve is not reflective of what we expect our CECL reserve would be absent the current and potential future impacts of the
COVID-19

We have capitalized our business to date primarily through the issuance and sale of shares of our class A common stock, corporate debt, and asset-level financing. As of September 30, 2021, our capitalization structure included $4.2 billion of common equity, $2.0 billion of corporate debt, and $15.8 billion of asset-level financing. Our $2.0 billion of corporate debt includes $1.4 billion of term loan borrowings and $622.5 million of convertible notes, of which $402.5 million matures prior to September 30, 2022. Our $15.8 billion of asset-level financing includes $11.2 billion of secured debt, $3.3 billion of securitizations, and $1.3 billion of asset-specific financings all of which are structured to produce term, currency and index matched funding with no margin call provisions based upon capital markets events. Additionally, on September 24, 2021 we priced $400.0 million aggregate principal amount of 3.75% senior secured notes due 2027, which were issued on October 5, 2021.
As of September 30, 2021, we have $1.1 billion of liquidity that can be used to satisfy our short-term cash requirements and as working capital for our business.
See Notes 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9 to our consolidated financial statements for additional details regarding our secured debt, securitized debt obligations, asset-specific debt, Term Loans, and Convertible Notes, respectively.

On September 24, 2021 we priced $400.0 million aggregate principal amount of 3.75% senior secured notes due 2027, which were issued on October 5, 2021.
(2)  
 
Represents loan principal payments held by our third-party servicer as of the balance sheet date which were remitted to us during the subsequent remittance cycle, net of the related secured debt balance.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, we generated cash flow from operating activities of $255.0 million, received repayments of $3.4 billion, received $312.0 million of net proceeds from the issuance of shares of class A common stock, and received $298.5 million of net proceeds from borrowings under term loans. Furthermore, we are able to generate incremental liquidity through the replenishment provisions of our 2021 FL4, 2020 FL3, and 2020 FL2 CLOs, which allow us to replace a repaid loan in the CLO by increasing the principal amount of existing CLO collateral assets to maintain the aggregate amount of collateral assets in the CLO, and the related financing outstanding.    
We have access to liquidity through public offerings of debt and equity securities. To facilitate such offerings, in July 2019, we filed a shelf registration statement with the SEC that is effective for a term of three years and expires at the end of July 2022. The amount of securities to be issued pursuant to this shelf registration statement was not specified when it was filed and there is no specific dollar limit on the amount of securities we may issue. The securities covered by this registration statement include: (i) class A common stock; (ii) preferred stock; (iii) debt securities; (iv) depositary shares representing preferred stock; (v) warrants; (vi) subscription rights; (vii) purchase contracts; and (viii) units consisting of one or more of such securities or any combination of these securities. The specifics of any future offerings, along with the use of proceeds of any securities offered, will be described in detail in a prospectus supplement, or other offering materials, at the time of any offering.    
We may also access liquidity through a dividend reinvestment plan and direct stock purchase plan, under which 9,990,545 shares of class A common stock were available for issuance as of September 30, 2021, and our
at-the-market
stock offering program, pursuant to which we may sell, from time to time, up to $363.8 million of additional shares of our class A common stock as of September 30, 2021. Refer to Note 11 to our consolidated financial statements for additional details.    
Liquidity Needs
In addition to our loan origination activity and general operating expenses, our primary liquidity needs include interest and principal payments under our $11.2 billion of outstanding borrowings under secured debt facilities, our asset-specific debt facilities, our Term Loans, and our Convertible Notes.
As of September 30, 2021, we had aggregate unfunded loan commitments of $4.2 billion across 108 loans receivable, and $2.6 billion of committed or identified financings for those commitments, resulting in net unfunded commitments of $1.6 billion. The unfunded loan commitments comprise funding for capital expenditures and construction, leasing costs, and interest and carry costs, and their funding will vary depending on the progress of capital projects, leasing, and cash flows at the properties securing our loans. Therefore, the exact timing and amounts of such future loan fundings are uncertain and will depend on the current and future performance of the underlying collateral assets. We expect to fund our loan commitments over the remaining term of the related loans, which have a weighted-average future funding period of 3.2 years.

V. Other Items
 
Income Taxes
We have elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code for U.S. federal income tax purposes. We generally must distribute annually at least 90% of our net taxable income, subject to certain adjustments and excluding any net capital gain, in order for U.S. federal income tax not to apply to our earnings that we distribute. To the extent that we satisfy this distribution requirement, but distribute less than 100% of our net taxable income, we will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on our undistributed taxable income. In addition, we will be subject to a 4% nondeductible excise tax if the actual amount that we pay out to our stockholders in a calendar year is less than a minimum amount specified under U.S. federal tax laws.
Our qualification as a REIT also depends on our ability to meet various other requirements imposed by the Internal Revenue Code, which relate to organizational structure, diversity of stock ownership, and certain restrictions with regard to the nature of our assets and the sources of our income. Even if we qualify as a REIT, we may be subject to certain U.S. federal income and excise taxes and state and local taxes on our income and assets. If we fail to maintain our qualification as a REIT for any taxable year, we may be subject to material penalties as well as federal, state and local income tax on our taxable income at regular corporate rates and we would not be able to qualify as a REIT for the subsequent four full taxable years. As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, we were in compliance with all REIT requirements.
Refer to Note 13 to our consolidated financial statements for additional discussion of our income taxes.
Critical Accounting Policies
Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. There have been no material changes to our Critical Accounting Policies described in our annual report on Form
10-K
filed with the SEC on February 10, 2021.
Refer to Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements for the description of our significant accounting policies.
Critical Accounting Estimates
The preparation of these financial statements requires our Manager to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates.

Current Expected Credit Losses
The current expected credit loss, or CECL, reserve required under Accounting Standard Update, or ASU,
2016-13
“Financial Instruments – Credit Losses – Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (Topic 326),” or ASU
2016-13,
reflects our current estimate of potential credit losses related to our loans and debt securities included in our consolidated balance sheets. We estimate our CECL reserve primarily using the Weighted Average Remaining Maturity, or WARM method, which has been identified as an acceptable loss-rate method for estimating CECL reserves in the Financial Accounting Standards Board Staff Q&A Topic 326, No. 1. Estimating the CECL reserve requires judgment, including the following assumptions:
 
 • 
Historical loan loss reference data
: To estimate the historic loan losses relevant to our portfolio, we have augmented our historical loan performance, which includes zero realized loan losses since the launch of our senior loan origination business in 2013, with market loan loss data licensed from Trepp LLC. This database includes commercial mortgage-backed securities, or CMBS, issued since January 1, 1999 through August 31, 2021. Within this database, we focused our historical loss reference calculations on the most relevant subset of available CMBS data, which we determined based on loan metrics that are most comparable to our loan portfolio including asset type, geography, and origination
loan-to-value,
or LTV. We believe this CMBS data, which includes month-over-month loan and property performance, is the most relevant, available, and comparable dataset to our portfolio.
 
 • 
Expected timing and amount of future loan fundings and repayments:
Expected credit losses are estimated over the contractual term of each loan, adjusted for expected prepayments. As part of our quarterly review of our loan portfolio, we assess the expected repayment date of each loan, which is used to determine the contractual term for purposes of computing our CECL reserve. Additionally, the expected credit losses over the contractual period of our loans are subject to the obligation to extend credit through our unfunded loan commitments. The CECL reserve for unfunded loan commitments is adjusted quarterly, as we consider the expected timing of future funding obligations over the estimated life of the loan. The considerations in estimating our CECL reserve for unfunded loan commitments are similar to those used for the related outstanding loan receivables.
 
 • 
Current credit quality of our portfolio:
Our risk rating is our primary credit quality indicator in assessing our current expected credit loss reserve. Our Manager performs a quarterly risk review of our portfolio of loans, and assigns each loan a risk rating based on a variety of factors, including, without limitation, LTV, debt yield, property type, geographic and local market dynamics, physical condition, cash flow volatility, leasing and tenant profile, loan structure and exit plan, and project sponsorship.
 
 • 
Expectations of performance and market conditions:
Our CECL reserve is adjusted to reflect our estimation of the current and future economic conditions that impact the performance of the commercial real estate assets securing our loans. These estimations include unemployment rates, interest rates, and other macroeconomic factors impacting the likelihood and magnitude of potential credit losses for our loans during their anticipated term. In addition to the CMBS data we have licensed from Trepp LLC, we have also licensed certain macroeconomic financial forecasts to inform our view of the potential future impact that broader economic conditions may have on our loan portfolio’s performance. These estimations require significant judgments about future events that, while based on the information available to us as of the balance sheet date, are ultimately indeterminate and the actual economic condition impacting our portfolio could vary significantly from the estimates we made as of September 30, 2021.
 
 • 
Impairment:
impairment is indicated when it is deemed probable that we will not be able to collect all amounts due to us pursuant to the contractual terms of the loan. Determining that a loan is impaired requires significant judgment from management and is based on several factors including (i) the underlying collateral performance, (ii) discussions with the borrower, (iii) borrower events of default, and (iv) other facts that impact the borrower’s ability to pay the contractual amounts due under the terms of the loan. If a loan is determined to be impaired, we record the impairment as a component of our CECL reserve by applying the practical expedient for collateral dependent loans. The CECL reserve is assessed on an individual basis for these loans by comparing the estimated fair value of the underlying collateral, less costs to sell, to the book value of the respective loan. These valuations require significant judgments, which include assumptions regarding capitalization rates, discount rates, leasing, creditworthiness of major tenants, occupancy rates, availability and cost of financing, exit plan, loan sponsorship, actions of other lenders, and other factors

Table of Contents
 
deemed relevant by our Manager. Actual losses, if any, could ultimately differ materially from these estimates. We only expect to realize the impairment losses 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 concluded if, in our determination, it is nearly certain that all amounts due will not be collected.
These assumptions vary from quarter to quarter as our loan portfolio changes and market and economic conditions evolve. The sensitivity of each assumption and its impact on the CECL reserve may change over time and from period to period. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, we recorded an aggregate $49.4 million decrease in the CECL reserve related to loans receivable, debt securities, and unfunded loan commitments, bringing our total reserve to $135.9 million as of September 30, 2021. The decrease in the CECL reserve during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 reflects the ongoing market recovery from
COVID-19
and the improvement in the performance of the collateral assets underlying our portfolio. This CECL reserve reflects the macroeconomic impact of the
COVID-19
pandemic on commercial real estate markets generally, as well as certain loans assessed for impairment in our portfolio. Further, this reserve is not reflective of what we expect our CECL reserve would be absent the current and potential future impacts of the
COVID-19
pandemic. See Notes 2 and 3 to our consolidated financial statements for further discussion of our CECL reserve.

(1)
Senior loans include senior mortgages and similar credit quality loans, including related contiguous subordinate loans and pari passu participations in senior mortgage loans.
(2)
Date loan was originated or acquired by us, and the LTV as of such date. Origination dates are subsequently updated to reflect material loan modifications.
(3)
Total loan amount reflects outstanding principal balance as well as any related unfunded loan commitment.
(4)
In certain instances, we finance our loans through the
non-recourse
sale of a senior loan interest that is not included in our consolidated financial statements. As of September 30, 2021, four loans in our portfolio have been financed with an aggregate $997.6 million of
non-consolidated
senior interest, which are included in the table above. Portfolio excludes our $79.2 million subordinate position in the $493.3 million 2018 Single Asset Securitization. Refer to Notes 4 and 16 to our consolidated financial statements for details of the 2018 Single Asset Securitization.
(5)
The weighted-average spread and
all-in
yield are expressed as a spread over the relevant floating benchmark rates, which include USD LIBOR, GBP LIBOR, SONIA, EURIBOR, STIBOR, BBSY, and CDOR, as applicable to each loan. As of September 30, 2021, 98% of our loans by total loan exposure earned a floating rate of interest, primarily indexed to USD LIBOR. The other 2% of our loans earned a fixed rate of interest, which we reflect as a spread over the relevant floating benchmark rates, as of September 30, 2021, for purposes of the weighted-averages. In addition to spread,
all-in
yield includes the amortization of deferred origination and extension fees, loan origination costs, and purchase discounts, as well as the accrual of exit fees. Excludes loans accounted for under the cost-recovery method.
(6)
Maximum maturity assumes all extension options are exercised, however our loans may be repaid prior to such date.
(7)
Loans are accounted for under the cost-recovery method.
(8)
Loan consists of one or more floating and fixed rate tranches. Coupon and
all-in
yield assume applicable floating benchmark rates for weighted-average calculation.

ITEM 3.
QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Interest Rate Risk
Investment Portfolio Net Interest Income
Generally, our business model is such that rising interest rates will increase our net income, while declining interest rates will decrease net income. As of September 30, 2021, 98% of our investments by total investment exposure earned a floating rate of interest and were financed with liabilities that pay interest at floating rates, which resulted in an amount of net equity that is positively correlated to rising interest rates, subject to the impact of interest rate floors on certain of our floating rate loans. As of September 30, 2021, the remaining 2% of our investments by total investment exposure earned a fixed rate of interest, but are financed with liabilities that pay interest at floating rates, which resulted in a negative correlation to rising interest rates to the extent of our financing. In certain instances where we have financed fixed rate assets with floating rate liabilities, we have purchased interest rate caps to limit our exposure to increases in interest rates on such liabilities.
LIBOR and certain other floating rate benchmark indices to which our floating rate loans and other loan agreements are tied, including, without limitation, the Euro Interbank Offered Rate, or EURIBOR, the Stockholm Interbank Offered Rate, or STIBOR, the Canadian Dollar Offered Rate, or CDOR, and the Australian Bank Bill Swap Reference Rate, or BBSY, or collectively, IBORs, are the subject of recent national, international and regulatory guidance and proposals for reform. On March 5, 2021, the Financial Conduct Authority of the U.K., or FCA, which has statutory powers to require panel banks to contribute to LIBOR where necessary, announced it would cease publication of certain IBORs, including
one-week
and
two-month
USD LIBOR and all tenors of GBP LIBOR, immediately after December 31, 2021 and cease the publication of the remaining tenors of USD LIBOR immediately after June 30, 2023. Additionally, the Federal Reserve Board, Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, Office of the Comptroller of Currency, and other interagency regulatory bodies have advised U.S. banks to stop entering into new USD LIBOR based contracts by December 31, 2021.
The U.S. Federal Reserve, in conjunction with the Alternative Reference Rates Committee, a steering committee comprised of large U.S. financial institutions, has identified the Secured Overnight Financing Rate, or SOFR, a new index calculated using short-term repurchase agreements backed by Treasury securities, as its preferred alternative rate for USD LIBOR. In the U.K., the Bank of England’s working group on Sterling risk free rates set March 31, 2021 as the target date under which GBP LIBOR may no longer be used as the reference rate for new loan products with maturities after December 31, 2021. Market participants have started to transition to the Sterling Overnight Index Average, or SONIA, in line with guidance from the U.K. regulators. As of September 30, 2021, the floating benchmark rate for the financing provided on the 2020 FL3 and 2020 FL2 CLOs is the
30-day
average compounded SOFR, plus a credit spread adjustment. Additionally, as of September 30, 2021, daily compounded SONIA is utilized as the floating benchmark rate on five of our loans and two of our credit facilities.
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. Despite the LIBOR transition in other markets, benchmark rate methodologies in Europe, Canada, and Australia have been reformed and rates such as EURIBOR, STIBOR, CDOR, and BBSY may persist as International Organization of Securities Commissions, or IOSCO, compliant reference rates moving forward. However, multi-rate environments may persist in these markets as regulators and working groups have suggested market participants adopt alternative reference rates.
Refer to “Part I. Item 1A. Risk Factors—Risks Related to Our Lending and Investment Activities—The expected discontinuation of currently used financial reference rates and use of alternative replacement reference rates may adversely affect net interest income related to our loans and investments or otherwise adversely affect our results of operations, cash flows and the market value of our investments.” of our Annual Report on Form
10-K
filed with the SEC on February 10, 2021.

(1)
Our floating rate loans and related liabilities are indexed to the various benchmark rates relevant in each case in terms of currency and payment frequency. Therefore the net exposure to each benchmark rate is in direct proportion to our net assets indexed to that rate. Increases (decreases) in interest income and expense are presented net of incentive fees. Refer to Note 12 to our consolidated financial statements for additional details of our incentive fee calculation.
(2)
Includes investment exposure to the 2018 Single Asset Securitization. Refer to Notes 4 and 16 to our consolidated financial statements for details of the subordinate position we own in the 2018 Single Asset Securitization.
(3)
Includes amounts outstanding under secured debt, securitizations, asset-specific financings, and term loans.
(4)
Decrease in rates assumes the applicable benchmark rate for each currency does not decrease below 0%.
Investment Portfolio Value
As of September 30, 2021, 2% of our investments by total investment exposure earned a fixed rate of interest and as such, the values of such investments are sensitive to changes in interest rates. We generally hold all of our investments to maturity and so do not expect to realize gains or losses on our fixed rate investment portfolio as a result of movements in market interest rates.
Risk of
Non-Performance
In addition to the risks related to fluctuations in cash flows and asset values associated with movements in interest rates, there is also the risk of
non-performance
on floating rate assets. In the case of a significant increase in interest rates, the additional debt service payments due from our borrowers may strain the operating cash flows of the collateral real estate assets and, potentially, contribute to
non-performance
or, in severe cases, default. This risk is partially mitigated by various facts we consider during our underwriting process, which in certain cases include a requirement for our borrower to purchase an interest rate cap contract.

Table of Contents
Credit Risks
Our loans and investments are also subject to credit risk. The performance and value of our loans and investments depend upon the sponsors’ 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 Manager’s asset management team reviews our investment portfolios and in certain instances is in regular contact with our borrowers, monitoring performance of the collateral and enforcing our rights as necessary.
In addition, we are exposed to the risks generally associated with the commercial real estate market, including variances in occupancy rates, capitalization rates, absorption rates, and other macroeconomic factors beyond our control. We seek to manage these risks through our underwriting and asset management processes.

COVID-19
pandemic significantly impacted the commercial real estate markets, causing reduced occupancy, requests from tenants for rent deferral or abatement, and delays in construction and development projects currently planned or underway. While the economy has improved significantly, negative conditions from
COVID-19
could continue to persist and impair our borrowers’ ability to pay principal and interest due to us under our loan agreements. We maintain a robust asset management relationship with our borrowers and have utilized these relationships to address the potential impacts of the
COVID-19
pandemic on our loans secured by properties experiencing cash flow pressure, most significantly hospitality assets.
We are generally encouraged by our borrowers’ response to the
COVID-19
pandemic’s impacts on their properties. With limited exceptions, we believe our loan sponsors are committed to supporting assets collateralizing our loans through additional equity investments, and that we will benefit from our long-standing core business model of originating senior loans collateralized by large assets in major markets with experienced, well-capitalized institutional sponsors. Our investment portfolio’s low origination weighted-average LTV of 65.1% as of September 30, 2021, reflects significant equity value that our sponsors are motivated to protect through periods of cyclical disruption. While we believe the principal amounts of our loans are generally adequately protected by underlying collateral value, there is a risk that we will not realize the entire principal value of certain investments.
Our Manager’s portfolio monitoring and asset management operations benefit from the deep knowledge, experience, and information advantages derived from its position as part of Blackstone’s real estate platform. Blackstone Real Estate is one of the largest owners and operators of real estate in the world, with a proven track record of successfully navigating market cycles and emerging stronger through periods of volatility. The market-leading real estate expertise derived from the strength of the Blackstone platform deeply informs our credit and underwriting process, and we believe gives us the tools to expertly manage our asset portfolio and work with our borrowers throughout periods of economic stress and uncertainty.
Capital Market Risks
We are exposed to risks related to the equity capital markets, and our related ability to raise capital through the issuance of our class A common stock or other equity instruments. We are also exposed to risks related to the debt capital markets, and our related ability to finance our business through borrowings under credit facilities or other debt instruments. As a REIT, we are required to distribute a significant portion of our taxable income annually, which constrains our ability to accumulate operating cash flow and therefore requires us to utilize debt or equity capital to finance our business. We seek to mitigate these risks by monitoring the debt and equity capital markets to inform our decisions on the amount, timing, and terms of capital we raise.
Margin call provisions under our credit facilities do not permit valuation adjustments based on capital markets events, and are limited to collateral-specific credit marks generally determined on a commercially reasonable basis.
Counterparty Risk
The nature of our business requires us to hold our cash and cash equivalents and obtain financing from various financial institutions. This exposes us to the risk that these financial institutions may not fulfill their obligations to us under these various contractual arrangements. We mitigate this exposure by depositing our cash and cash equivalents and entering into financing agreements with high credit-quality institutions.

The nature of our loans and investments also exposes us to the risk that our counterparties do not make required interest and principal payments on scheduled due dates. We seek to manage this risk through a comprehensive credit analysis prior to making an investment and active monitoring of the asset portfolios that serve as our collateral.
Currency Risk
Our loans and investments that are denominated in a foreign currency are also subject to risks related to fluctuations in currency 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 currency rates.
The following table outlines our assets and liabilities that are denominated in a foreign currency (amounts in thousands):
