TPG RE Finance Trust, Inc. (NYSE: TRTX) (“TRTX” or the “Company”) reported its operating results for the quarter and full year ended December 31, 2024.

Regarding fourth quarter and year ended 2024 results, Doug Bouquard, Chief Executive Officer of TRTX, said: “During 2024 we out earned our annual common stock dividend rate of $0.96 per share. We ended the year with $321 million of cash and near-term available liquidity, a 100% performing loan portfolio, unchanged risk ratings, and a $5 million quarter-over-quarter decline in our CECL reserve. In the fourth quarter, we originated $242 million of new loan investments, received $110 million of loan repayments, and registered our second consecutive quarter of net growth in earning assets. For the year, we originated $562 million of loan investments, and continue to focus on opportunistic capital deployment to build long-term shareholder value. We believe that the Company’s active pipeline reflects the many new investment opportunities we see in an increasingly attractive real estate credit landscape in 2025.”

Non-GAAP Financial Measures Reconciliation

Distributable Earnings

Distributable Earnings is a non-GAAP measure, which we define as GAAP net income (loss) attributable to our common stockholders, including realized gains and losses from loan write-offs, loan sales and other loan resolutions (including conversions to real estate owned (“REO”)), regardless of whether such items are included in other comprehensive income or loss, or in GAAP net income (loss), and excluding (i) non-cash stock compensation expense, (ii) depreciation and amortization expense (which only applies to debt investments related to real estate to the extent we foreclose upon the property or properties underlying such debt investments), (iii) unrealized gains (losses) (including credit loss expense (benefit), net), and (iv) certain non-cash or income and expense items.

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 generally must distribute at least 90% of our net taxable income annually, subject to certain adjustments and excluding any net capital gains, for us to continue to qualify as a real estate investment trust for U.S. federal income tax purposes. We believe that one of the primary reasons investors purchase our common stock is to receive our dividends. Because of our investors’ continued focus on our ability to pay dividends, Distributable Earnings is an important measure for us to consider when determining our distribution policy and dividends per common share. Further, Distributable Earnings helps us to evaluate our performance excluding the effects of certain transactions and GAAP adjustments that we believe are not necessarily indicative of our current loan investment and operating activities.

Distributable Earnings excludes the impact of our credit loss provision or reversals of our credit loss provision, but only to the extent that our credit loss provision exceeds any realized credit losses during the applicable reporting period. See Note 2 to our Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Form 10-K for additional details regarding our accounting policies and estimation of our allowance for credit losses.

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), 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.
