PR Newswire

GREENWICH, Conn., Aug. 8, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Starwood Property Trust, Inc. STWD today announced operating results for the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2018.  The Company's second quarter 2018 GAAP net income was $109.2 million, or $0.40 per diluted share, and Core Earnings (a non-GAAP financial measure) was $148.4 million, or $0.54 per diluted share.

"I am very pleased with the performance of our Company this quarter, with every business line continuing to perform at or above our expectations. The majority of our earnings are still derived from our primary line of business, real estate lending, where the $2.0 billion of loan originations this quarter were the largest in our Company's history.  Our property investments, residential lending platform, CMBS and conduit operations continue to enhance our enterprise, along with our special servicer, where we added 13 new special servicing assignments, the highest since we acquired LNR in 2013. With the acquisition of GE Capital's Energy Project Finance platform, we have further diversified our lending opportunity set outside of traditional real estate and have never been more excited about our Company's future," commented Barry Sternlicht, Chairman and CEO of Starwood Property Trust.

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.
