Book Value

The Company’s book value per share of common stock was $16.02 at September 30, 2019 as compared to book value per share of common stock of $16.20 at December 31, 2018. The decrease is primarily driven by provisions for loan losses and the unrealized loss on our interest rate swap in connection with our senior secured term loan, partially offset by our common equity issuance during the first quarter.

Subsequent Events

The following events occurred subsequent to quarter end:

New Investments - ARI committed $548.3 million ($464.3 million of which was funded at closing) to first mortgage loans.

Funding of Previously Closed Loans - ARI funded $26.7 million for previously closed loans.

Loan Repayments - ARI received $60.2 million from loan repayments, including $11.8 million from first mortgage loans and $48.4 million from subordinate loans.

Operating Earnings

Operating Earnings is a non-GAAP financial measure that the Company defines as net income available to common stockholders, computed in accordance with GAAP, adjusted for (i) equity-based compensation expense (a portion of which may become cash-based upon final vesting and settlement of awards should the holder elect net share settlement to satisfy income tax withholding), (ii) any unrealized gains or losses or other non-cash items included in net income available to common stockholders, (iii) unrealized income from unconsolidated joint ventures, (iv) foreign currency gains (losses), other than (a) realized gains/(losses) related to interest income, and (b) forward point gains/(losses) realized on the Company’s foreign currency hedges, (v) the non-cash amortization expense related to the reclassification of a portion of the Company’s convertible senior notes to stockholders’ equity in accordance with GAAP, and (vi) provision for loan losses and impairments. Beginning with the quarter ended September 30, 2016, ARI slightly modified its definition of Operating Earnings to include realized gains (losses) on currency swaps related to interest income on investments denominated in a currency other than U.S. dollars. In addition, beginning with the quarter ended December 31, 2018, ARI further modified its definition of Operating Earnings to include the impact from forward points on its foreign currency hedges, which reflect the interest rate differentials between the applicable base rate for the Company’s foreign currency investments and USD LIBOR. These forward contracts effectively convert the rate exposure to USD LIBOR, resulting in additional interest income earned in U.S. dollar terms. These amounts are not included in GAAP net income. In order to conform to the 2018 year end presentation, which incorporates this modification, prior year Operating Earnings results presented below have been modified accordingly. Operating Earnings may also be adjusted to exclude certain other non-cash items, as determined by the Manager and approved by a majority of the Company’s independent directors.

In order to evaluate the effective yield of the portfolio, the Company uses Operating Earnings to reflect the net investment income of its portfolio as adjusted to include the net interest expense related to its derivative instruments. Operating Earnings allows the Company to isolate the net interest expense associated with its swaps in order to monitor and project its full cost of borrowings. The Company also believes that its investors use Operating Earnings, or a comparable supplemental performance measure, to evaluate and compare the performance of the Company and its peers and, as such, the Company believes that the disclosure of Operating Earnings is useful to its investors. In addition, during 2018, the Company recorded a loss on early extinguishment of debt associated with exchanges and conversions of the 2019 Notes. The Company believes it is non-recurring and not reflective of its ongoing operations. For further discussion on the exchanges and conversions of the 2019 Notes, refer to “Note 9 - Convertible Senior Notes, Net” of the Company’s 10-Q. Forward points effectively convert the Company’s foreign rate exposure to USD LIBOR, which the Company believes is a better reflection of its operating results and ARI believes the inclusion of the resulting gain or loss in Operating Earnings is useful to its investors. The Company believes it is useful to its investors to present Operating Earnings excluding realized loss on investments and loss on early extinguishment of debt to reflect its operating results. The Company’s operating results are primarily comprised of earning interest income on its investments net of borrowing and administrative costs.

A significant limitation associated with Operating Earnings as a measure of the Company’s financial performance over any period is that it excludes unrealized gains (losses) from investments. In addition, the Company’s presentation of Operating Earnings may not be comparable to similarly-titled measures of other companies, who may use different calculations. As a result, Operating Earnings should not be considered as a substitute for ARI’s GAAP net income as a measure of the Company’s financial performance or any measure of the Company’s liquidity under GAAP.

Reconciliation of Operating Earnings to Net Income Available to Common Stockholders

The table below reconciles Operating Earnings, Operating Earnings per share of common stock, Operating Earnings excluding realized loss on investments and loss on investments per share of common stock with net income available to common stockholders and net income available to common stockholders per share of common stock for the three and nine ended September 30, 2019 and September 30, 2018, respectively ($ amounts in thousands, except per share data):

Footnotes 1. Operating Earnings is a non-GAAP financial measure that we define as net income available to common stockholders, computed in accordance with GAAP, adjusted for (i) equity-based compensation expense (a portion of which may become cash-based upon final vesting and settlement of awards should the holder elect net share settlement to satisfy income tax withholding), (ii) any unrealized gains or losses or other non-cash items included in net income available to common stockholders, (iii) unrealized income from unconsolidated joint ventures, (iv) foreign currency gains (losses), other than (a) realized gains/(losses) related to interest income, and (b) forward point gains/(losses) realized on our foreign currency hedges, (v) the non-cash amortization expense related to the reclassification of a portion of the convertible senior notes to stockholders’ equity in accordance with GAAP, and (vi) provision for loan losses and impairments. Please see slide 18 for a reconciliation of GAAP net income to Operating Earnings and Operating Earnings excluding realized loss on investments and loss on early extinguishment of debt. Beginning with the quarter ended December 31, 2018, we modified our definition of Operating Earnings to include the impact from forward points on our foreign currency hedges, which reflect the interest rate differentials between the applicable base rate for our foreign currency investments and USD LIBOR. In order to conform to the 2018 year end presentation, which incorporates this modification, prior-year Operating Earnings results presented in this presentation have been modified accordingly. Operating Earnings may also be adjusted to exclude certain other non-cash items, as determined by ACREFI Management, LLC, the Company’s external manager (the “Manager”) and approved by a majority of the Company’s independent directors. 2. Assumes exercise of all extension options. 3. Weighted Average Unlevered All-in Yield on the loan portfolio is based on the applicable benchmark rates as of September 30, 2019 on the floating rate loans and includes accrual of origination, extension, and exit fees. For non-US deals, yield excludes incremental forward points impact from currency hedging. 4. Common equity market capitalization represents shares of common stock outstanding times the closing stock price on September 30, 2019. 5. Refer to our 10-Q financials for the calculation of our net income per diluted share of common stock. 6. Invested Net Equity at Cost is the amortized cost of loans less principal balance of secured debt arrangements; does not include debt secured by proceeds held by servicer. 7. Total secured term loan balance less $7,452 at September 30, 2019 in deferred financing costs. 8. Total debt balance less $18,031 and $17,555 at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively, in deferred financing costs. 9. Represents total debt, less cash and loan proceeds held by servicer divided by total stockholders’ equity. 10. Fixed charge coverage is EBITDA divided by interest expense and preferred stock dividends. 11. Book value per share of common stock is total stockholders’ equity divided by shares of common stock outstanding. 12. Includes two subordinate risk retention interests in securitization vehicles classified as Subordinate Loans. 13. Reflects LTV as of date loans were originated or acquired. 14. For loans closed prior to Q3 2019. 15. Unfunded loan commitments are primarily funded to finance property improvements or lease-related expenditures by the borrowers. These future commitments are funded over the term of each loan, subject in certain cases to an expiration date. 16. Includes foreign currency appreciation/depreciation, PIK interest, loan loss reserves, and the accretion of loan costs and fees. 17. For loans closed prior to 2019. 18. Conversion to USD on date of funding. 19. Other includes water park resorts. 20. Amounts and percentages may not foot due to rounding. 21. Weighted-average construction loan % is based on the amortized cost of the loans. 22. Both loans are secured by the same property. 23. Amortized cost for these loans is net of the recorded provisions for loan losses and impairments. 24. Both loans are secured by the same property. 25. Based upon face amount of loans. 26. Maturities reflect the fully funded amounts of the loans. 27. Future funding dates are based upon the Manager’s estimates based upon the best information available to the Manager at the time. There is no assurance that the payments will occur in accordance with these estimates or at all, which could affect the Company’s operating results. 28. Unless otherwise noted, represents outstanding principal balance or liquidation preference. 29. Debt balance includes GBP converted to USD using applicable September 30, 2019 spot rate. 30. In connection with the Term Loan B, we entered into a swap to fix LIBOR at 2.12% effectively fixing our all-in coupon at 4.87%. 31. Cash includes loan proceeds held by servicer. 32. Represents amounts approved and undrawn under repurchase facilities. While these amounts were previously contractually approval and/or drawn, in certain cases, the lender’s consent is required for us to (re)borrow these amounts. 33. Subject to availability of qualifying collateral assets and approval of lenders. 34. Any such hypothetical impact on interest rates on the Company’s variable rate borrowings does not consider the effect of any change in overall economic activity that could occur in a rising interest rate environment. Further, in the event of a change in interest rates of that magnitude, the Company may take actions to further mitigate the Company’s exposure to such a change. However, due to the uncertainty of the specific actions that would be taken and their possible effects, this analysis assumes no changes in the Company’s financial structure. The analysis incorporates movements in USD LIBOR only. 35. In order to conform to the 2019 presentation of the reconciliation from net income available to common stockholders to Operating Earnings, $0.4 million and ($0.1 million) was reclassified from Foreign currency loss, net for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively. 36. This reconciliation only applies to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 because in the reporting period for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, we used the treasury stock method when determining the potential share dilution from the Notes in the computation of earnings per share. 19Footnotes 1.
