GREENWICH, Conn., Aug. 7, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Starwood Property Trust, Inc. STWD today announced operating results for the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2019.  The Company's second quarter 2019 GAAP net income was $127.0 million, or $0.45 per diluted share, and Core Earnings (a non-GAAP financial measure) was $153.9 million, or $0.52 per diluted share.

"Our strong second quarter results included positive contributions from across our business segments, led by commercial lending with $1.1 billion of capital deployed. The performance of our Property Segment continues to strengthen as we realized over 6% rent increases across our affordable multifamily portfolio, well above our underwriting. We are also pleased with the growth of our non-agency residential lending business. We remain disciplined and focused and are well positioned to continue to deploy capital across our various cylinders with a robust pipeline of global opportunities," commented Barry Sternlicht, Chairman and CEO of Starwood Property Trust.

"This year has been the year of balance sheet restructuring.  Subsequent to quarter end, we diversified and strengthened our liability structure, executing over $2.1 billion of capital transactions and dramatically reducing our reliance on on-balance sheet bank financing. We priced the largest post-crisis CRE CLO, which we expect to close in mid-August and will provide us with a highly flexible structure and competitive expected cost of funds. We also closed a $400 million Term Loan B facility which was attractively priced, unprecedented in structure and significantly grew our unencumbered asset base. Finally, we successfully increased financing capacity for our Infrastructure Lending platform.  With this meaningful expansion of our financial capacity, we have further improved our competitive positioning as we seek to continue creating shareholder value over the long term."

Dividend

On August 7, 2019, the Company's Board of Directors declared a dividend of $0.48 per share of common stock for the quarter ending September 30, 2019. The dividend is payable on October 15, 2019 to common stockholders of record as of September 30, 2019.

Definition of Core Earnings

Core Earnings, a non-GAAP financial measure, is used to compute the Company's incentive fees to its external manager and is an appropriate supplemental disclosure for a mortgage REIT.  For the Company's purposes, Core Earnings is defined as GAAP net income (loss) excluding non-cash equity compensation expense, the incentive fee due to the Company's external manager, acquisition costs from successful acquisitions, depreciation and amortization of real estate and associated intangibles and any unrealized gains, losses or other non-cash items recorded in net income for the period, regardless of whether such items are included in other comprehensive income or loss, or in net income and, to the extent deducted from net income (loss), distributions payable with respect to equity securities of subsidiaries issued in exchange for properties or interests therein. The amount is adjusted to exclude one-time events pursuant to changes in GAAP and certain other non-cash adjustments as determined by the Company's external manager and approved by a majority of the Company's independent directors.
