GREENWICH, Conn., May 6, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Starwood Property Trust, Inc. STWD today announced operating results for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2021. The Company's first quarter 2021 GAAP net income was $111.4 million, or $0.38 per diluted share, and Distributable Earnings (a non-GAAP financial measure) was $150.8 million, or $0.50 per diluted share.
"We benefited from a strong start to the year with $2.7 billion of capital deployed in the first quarter across our business cylinders, including $2.2 billion in Commercial Lending, bringing our post-COVID capital deployment to $5.7 billion. The credit performance of our diversified business lines coupled with our robust liquidity position gave us the confidence to continue our strong pace of investment activity. Eleven years into our journey, the LTV of our loan book remains low at 60.1%, and we continue to provide an attractive yield in a low rate world," commented Barry Sternlicht, Chairman and CEO of Starwood Property Trust.
"After quarter end, we closed two CLOs totaling $1.8 billion: our inaugural Infrastructure CLO for $500 million and our second CRE CLO for $1.3 billion. These financings allowed us to further de-risk our balance sheet and diversify our funding sources.
"After a year of unprecedented distress which led to record volume in our special servicer, LNR was upgraded by Fitch to its highest servicer rating and is the only CMBS special servicer at this level globally. We are extremely proud of this achievement which recognizes the strength and tenure of our team, years of operating at the highest level, our commitment to technology and our exemplary performance," commented Jeff DiModica, President of Starwood Property Trust.

Definition of Distributable Earnings
Distributable Earnings, a non-GAAP financial measure, is used to compute the Company's incentive fees to its external manager and is an appropriate supplemental disclosure for a mortgage REIT. For the Company's purposes, Distributable Earnings is defined as GAAP net income (loss) excluding non-cash equity compensation expense, the incentive fee due to the Company's external manager, acquisition costs 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.
