NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES AND RECONCILIATION TO GAAP NET INCOME

The Company has four primary variables that impact its performance: (i) net interest margin on assets held within the investment portfolio; (ii) realized and unrealized gains or losses on assets held within the investment portfolio and operating companies, including any impairment or reserve for expected credit losses; (iii) income from the Company’s operating company investments; and (iv) the Company’s operating expenses and taxes.

“Earnings available for distribution” is a non-GAAP financial measure of the Company’s operating performance, which is used by management to evaluate the Company’s performance, excluding:

• Certain realized and unrealized gains and losses on (i) investments other than those that are acquired with the intent to sell or loans that are originated or acquired with the intent to sell, (ii) changes in valuation inputs and assumptions of MSRs, (iii) MSR economic hedges, other than any interest income associated with such instruments and (iv) extinguishment of debt;
• Certain other income and losses, primarily consisting of equity-based or non-recurring compensation expense, straight-line rental revenue, amortization of debt acquired below or above market prices, and certain net income or losses attributable to non-controlling and redeemable non-controlling interests;
• Depreciation and amortization on real estate investment properties and intangible assets;
• Non-capitalized transaction-related expenses, primarily consisting of legal, valuation and other professional service fees incurred in connection with certain investment acquisitions, as well as costs associated with the acquisition and integration of acquired businesses; and
• Deferred taxes.

In computing earnings available for distribution, the Company excludes the items listed above because management does not consider them representative of the Company's core operating performance or of cash available for distribution to stockholders. These adjustments generally fall into three categories: items that are non-cash in nature; items that, while a part of the Company's recurring operations, are subject to significant variability and are therefore generally limited to a potential indicator of future economic performance; and items that relate to the acquisition or integration of investments and businesses rather than to ongoing operations.

Management believes that the adjustments to compute “earnings available for distribution” specified above allow investors and analysts to readily identify and track the operating performance of the assets that form the core of the Company’s activity, assist in comparing the core operating results between periods and enable investors to evaluate the Company’s current core performance using the same financial measure that management uses to operate the business. Management also utilizes earnings available for distribution as a financial measure in its decision-making process relating to improvements to the underlying fundamental operations of the Company’s investments, as well as the allocation of resources between those investments, and management also relies on earnings available for distribution as an indicator of the results of such decisions. As such, earnings available for distribution is not intended to reflect all of the Company’s activity and should be considered as only one of the factors used by management in assessing the Company’s performance, along with GAAP net income which is inclusive of all of the Company’s activities.

The Company views earnings available for distribution as a consistent financial measure of its portfolio’s ability to generate income for distribution to common stockholders. Earnings available for distribution does not represent and should not be considered as a substitute for, or superior to, net income or as a substitute for, or superior to, cash flows from operating activities, each as determined in accordance with GAAP, and the Company’s calculation of this financial measure may not be comparable to similarly entitled financial measures reported by other companies. Furthermore, to maintain qualification as a REIT, U.S. federal income tax law generally requires that the Company distribute at least 90% of its REIT taxable income annually, determined without regard to the deduction for dividends paid and excluding net capital gains. Because the Company views earnings available for distribution as a consistent financial measure of its ability to generate income for distribution to common stockholders, earnings available for distribution is one metric, but not the exclusive metric, that the Company’s board of directors uses to determine the amount, if any, and the payment date of dividends on common stock. However, earnings available for distribution should not be considered as an indication of the Company’s taxable income, a guaranty of its ability to pay dividends or as a proxy for the amount of dividends it may pay, as earnings available for distribution excludes certain items that impact its cash needs.
