• Net interest income increased approximately 13% sequentially as the company began realizing earnings from $2.3 billion in originations made since September 2025.

• Management has successfully transitioned the portfolio to a more resilient vintage, with nearly 45% of the current loan book originated within the last year under higher interest rate and lower valuation assumptions.

• The company utilizes TPG's integrated debt and equity platform to gain real-time insights into property values and capital flows, enabling proactive risk identification and disciplined underwriting.

• Liability management is largely complete following the FL8 CRE CLO issuance, which increased non-mark-to-market financing to over 85% and extended liability duration.

• Strategic focus remains on high-quality multifamily and industrial assets, which comprise approximately 75% of the portfolio, while maintaining a 'sharpshooter' approach to other sectors like office.

• The company is prioritizing capital allocation toward opportunities with compelling risk-adjusted returns rather than pursuing growth for its own sake in a complex macro environment.

Earnings Capacity and Capital Recycling Strategy

• Management expects the earnings capacity of the platform to become increasingly evident as third-quarter originations contribute over full reporting periods.

• The closing of FL8 established a new 30-month reinvestment period, providing significant flexibility to recycle capital and capitalize on potential loan spread widening.

• The company is transitioning to a 'one in, one out' portfolio strategy as it reaches target leverage, which is expected to provide greater stability for distributable earnings.

• A new $50 million share repurchase plan was authorized to create long-term value, as management believes current share prices significantly discount the platform's earnings potential.

• Future earnings power is expected to be buoyed by high demand in the multifamily sector, driven by the elevated cost of homeownership relative to renting.

Credit Adjustments and Capital Returns

• The company recorded a $13 million realized loss from the conversion of one multifamily loan to real estate owned (REO), though the move had no impact on book value as it was fully reserved.

• The existing $25 million share repurchase program was fully exhausted during the quarter, with 1.2 million shares repurchased at a weighted average price of $8.00.

• Total leverage increased to 4.03x from 3.32x in the prior quarter, reflecting significant investment activity and the intentional growth of the loan portfolio.
