GREENWICH, Conn., Nov. 8, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Starwood Property Trust, Inc. STWD today announced operating results for the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2019.  The Company's third quarter 2019 GAAP net income was $140.4 million, or $0.49 per diluted share, and Core Earnings (a non-GAAP financial measure) was $152.6 million, or $0.52 per diluted share.

"We had another strong quarter, with over $2.5 billion of capital deployed across all our segments, including $1.2 billion in Commercial Lending.  Notably, our non-agency residential lending business continued to expand with purchases of over $600 million of loans and the completion of our fourth and largest securitization for $546 million. We also continue to experience growing, double-digit yields in our Property segment.  We expect that these yields will increase over 200 basis points as a result of the $180 million partial cash out refinance of our medical office portfolio and first multifamily portfolio, which have appreciated meaningfully since acquisition.  Our pipeline remains robust, and we expect to invest this capital accretively as we continue to utilize our global organization to find the best opportunities across our cylinders," commented Barry Sternlicht, Chairman and CEO of Starwood Property Trust.

Added Jeffrey DiModica, President of Starwood Property Trust, "During the quarter, we continued to reduce our reliance on warehouse financing, completing our first $1.1 billion CRE CLO.  The transaction was structurally superior, reducing balance sheet exposure, and with a higher advance rate and lower cost of funds than the repurchase facilities it replaced.  We also executed on a $400 million term loan, which allowed us to increase our unencumbered asset base, providing us with additional capacity to issue attractive corporate debt in the future.  We ended the quarter with a record high of over $8.0 billion of available capacity across our financing facilities, giving us tremendous flexibility as investment opportunities arise."

Dividend

On November 8, 2019, the Company's Board of Directors declared a dividend of $0.48 per share of common stock for the quarter ending December 31, 2019. The dividend is payable on January 15, 2020 to common stockholders of record as of December 31, 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.
