1. ORGANIZATION

References herein to “Blackstone Mortgage Trust,” “Company,” “we,” “us” or “our” refer to Blackstone Mortgage Trust,

Inc., a Maryland corporation, and its subsidiaries unless the context specifically requires otherwise.

Blackstone Mortgage Trust is a real estate finance company that originates, acquires, and manages senior loans and other

debt or credit-oriented investments collateralized by or relating to commercial real estate in North America, Europe, and

Australia. Our portfolio is composed primarily of senior loans secured by high-quality, institutional assets located in major

markets, and sponsored by experienced, well-capitalized real estate investment owners and operators. We finance our

investments in a variety of ways, including borrowing under our credit facilities, issuing collateralized loan obligations, or

CLOs, or single-asset securitizations, asset-specific financings, syndicating senior loan participations, and corporate

financing, depending on our view of the most prudent financing option available for each of our investments. We are

externally managed by BXMT Advisors L.L.C., or our Manager, a subsidiary of Blackstone Inc., or Blackstone, and are a

real estate investment trust, or REIT, traded on the New York Stock Exchange, or NYSE, under the symbol “BXMT.” Our

principal executive offices are located at 345 Park Avenue, 24th Floor, New York, New York 10154.

We conduct our operations as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes. We generally will not be subject to U.S. federal

income taxes on our taxable income to the extent that we annually distribute all of our net taxable income to stockholders

and maintain our qualification as a REIT. We also operate our business in a manner that permits us to maintain an

exclusion from registration under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. We are organized as a holding

company and conduct our business primarily through our various subsidiaries.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting

principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or GAAP, for interim financial information and the

instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. The consolidated financial statements, including the notes

thereto, are unaudited and exclude some of the disclosures required in audited financial statements. We believe we have

made all necessary adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring items, so that the consolidated financial statements are

presented fairly and that estimates made in preparing our consolidated financial statements are reasonable and prudent. The

operating results presented for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any

other interim period or for the entire year. The accompanying unaudited consolidated interim financial statements should

be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for

the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include, on a consolidated basis, our accounts, the accounts of our

wholly-owned subsidiaries, majority-owned subsidiaries, and variable interest entities, or VIEs, of which we are the

primary beneficiary. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Principles of Consolidation

We consolidate all entities that we control through either majority ownership or voting rights. In addition, we consolidate

all VIEs of which we are considered the primary beneficiary. VIEs are defined as entities in which equity investors (i) do

not have an interest with the characteristics of a controlling financial interest and/or (ii) do not have sufficient equity at risk

for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties. The entity that

consolidates a VIE is known as its primary beneficiary and is generally the entity with (i) the power to direct the activities

that most significantly affect the VIE’s economic performance and (ii) the right to receive benefits from the VIE or the

obligation to absorb losses of the VIE that could be significant to the VIE. Entities that do not qualify as VIEs are generally

considered voting interest entities, or VOEs, and are evaluated for consolidation under the voting interest model. VOEs are

consolidated when we control the entity through a majority voting interest or other means.

For consolidated joint ventures, the non-controlling partner’s share of the assets, liabilities, and operations of each joint

venture is included in non-controlling interests as a component of total equity. The non-controlling partner’s interest is

generally computed as the joint venture partner’s ownership percentage.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued) (Unaudited)

When the requirements for consolidation are not met and we have significant influence over the operations of the entity, the

investment is accounted for under the equity method of accounting. Investments in unconsolidated entities are initially

recorded at cost and subsequently adjusted for our pro-rata share of net income, contributions and distributions.

We review our investments in unconsolidated entities for impairment each quarter or when there is an event or change in

circumstances that indicates a decrease in value. If there is a decrease in value due to a series of operating losses or other

factors, the investment is evaluated to determine if the loss in value is considered other than temporary. Although a current

fair value below the carrying value of the investment is an indicator of impairment, we will only recognize an impairment

if the loss in value is determined to be an other than temporary impairment. If an impairment is determined to be other than

temporary, we will record an impairment charge sufficient to reduce the investment’s carrying value to its fair value, which

would result in a new cost basis. This new cost basis will be used for future periods when recording subsequent income or

loss and cannot be written up to a higher value as a result of increases in fair value.

In 2017, we entered into a joint venture, or our Multifamily Joint Venture, with Walker & Dunlop Inc. to originate, hold,

and finance multifamily bridge loans. Pursuant to the terms of the agreements governing the joint venture, Walker &

Dunlop contributed 15% of the venture’s equity capital and we contributed 85%. We consolidate the Multifamily Joint

Venture as we have a controlling financial interest. The non-controlling interests included on our consolidated balance

sheets represent the equity interests in our Multifamily Joint Venture that are owned by Walker & Dunlop. A portion of our

Multifamily Joint Venture’s consolidated equity and results of operations are allocated to these non-controlling interests

based on Walker & Dunlop’s pro rata ownership of our Multifamily Joint Venture.

In 2024, we entered into a joint venture, which we refer to as our Net Lease Joint Venture, with a Blackstone-advised

investment vehicle to invest in triple net lease properties. We do not consolidate the Net Lease Joint Venture as we do not

have a controlling financial interest. Our investment in the Net Lease Joint Venture is accounted for under the equity

method, and is recorded in investment in unconsolidated entities on our consolidated balance sheets, and our pro-rata share

of income (loss) is recorded in income (loss) from unconsolidated entities on our consolidated statements of operations.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make estimates and

assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of

the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting

period. Actual results may ultimately differ materially from those estimates.

Revenue Recognition

Interest income from our loans receivable portfolio is recognized over the life of each loan using the effective interest

method and is recorded on the accrual basis. Recognition of fees, premiums, and discounts associated with these

investments is deferred and recorded over the term of the loan as an adjustment to yield. Income accrual is generally

suspended for loans at the earlier of the date at which payments become 90 days past due or when, in our opinion, recovery

of income and principal becomes doubtful. Interest received is then recorded as income or as a reduction in the amortized

cost basis, based on the specific facts and circumstances, until accrual is resumed when the loan becomes contractually

current and performance is demonstrated to be resumed. In addition, for loans we originate, the related origination expenses

are deferred and recognized as a reduction to interest income, however expenses related to loans we acquire are included in

general and administrative expenses as incurred.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents represent cash held in banks and liquid investments with original maturities of three months or

less. We may have bank balances in excess of federally insured amounts; however, we deposit our cash and cash

equivalents with high credit-quality institutions to minimize credit risk exposure. We have not experienced, and do not

expect, any losses on our cash or cash equivalents. As of both March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we had no

restricted cash on our consolidated balance sheets.

Loans Receivable

We originate and purchase commercial real estate debt and related instruments generally to be held as long-term

investments at amortized cost.

Current Expected Credit Losses Reserve

The current expected credit loss, or CECL, reserve required under the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB,

Accounting Standards Codification, or ASC, Topic 326 “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses,” or ASC 326, reflects our

current estimate of potential credit losses related to our loans and notes receivable included in our consolidated balance

sheets. Changes to the CECL reserves are recognized through net income on our consolidated statements of operations.

While ASC 326 does not require any particular method for determining the CECL reserves, it does specify the reserves

should be based on relevant information about past events, including historical loss experience, current portfolio and

market conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts for the duration of each respective loan. In addition, other than

a few narrow exceptions, ASC 326 requires that all financial instruments subject to the CECL model have some amount of

loss reserve to reflect the principle underlying the CECL model that all loans and similar assets have some inherent risk of

loss, regardless of credit quality, subordinate capital, or other mitigating factors.

We estimate our CECL reserves primarily using the Weighted-Average Remaining Maturity, or WARM method, which

has been identified as an acceptable loss-rate method for estimating CECL reserves in FASB Staff Q&A Topic 326, No. 1.

The WARM method requires us to reference historic loan loss data across a comparable data set and apply such loss rate to

each of our loans over their expected remaining term, taking into consideration expected economic conditions over the

relevant timeframe. We apply the WARM method for the majority of our loan portfolio, which consists of loans that share

similar risk characteristics. In certain instances, for loans with unique risk characteristics, we may instead use a probability-

weighted model that considers the likelihood of default and expected loss given default for each such individual loan.

Application of the WARM method to estimate CECL reserves requires judgment, including (i) the appropriate historical

loan loss reference data, (ii) the expected timing and amount of future loan fundings and repayments, and (iii) the current

credit quality of our portfolio and our expectations of performance and market conditions over the relevant time period. To

estimate the historic loan losses relevant to our portfolio, we have augmented our historical loan performance, with market

loan loss data licensed from Trepp LLC. This database includes commercial mortgage-backed securities, or CMBS, issued

since January 1, 1999 through February 28, 2025. Within this database, we focused our historical loss reference

calculations on the most relevant subset of available CMBS data, which we determined based on loan metrics that are most

comparable to our loan portfolio including asset type, geography, and origination loan-to-value, or LTV. We believe this

CMBS data, which includes month-over-month loan and property performance, is the most relevant, available, and

comparable dataset to our portfolio.

Our loans typically include commitments to fund incremental proceeds to our borrowers over the life of the loan. These

future funding commitments are also subject to the CECL model. The CECL reserve related to future loan fundings is

recorded as a component of other liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets. This CECL reserve is estimated using the

same process outlined above for our outstanding loan balances, and changes in this component of the CECL reserve will

similarly impact our consolidated net income. For both the funded and unfunded portions of our loans, we consider our

internal risk rating of each loan as the primary credit quality indicator underlying our assessment.

The CECL reserves are measured on a collective basis wherever similar risk characteristics exist within a pool of similar

assets. We have identified the following pools and measure the reserve for credit losses using the following methods:

• U.S. Loans: WARM method that incorporates a subset of historical loss data, expected weighted-average

remaining maturity of our loan pool, and an economic view.

• Non-U.S. Loans: WARM method that incorporates a subset of historical loss data, expected weighted-average

remaining maturity of our loan pool, and an economic view.

• Unique Loans: a probability of default and loss given default model, assessed on an individual basis.
• Impaired Loans: impairment is indicated when it is deemed probable that we will not be able to collect all

amounts due to us pursuant to the contractual terms of the loan. Determining that a loan is impaired requires

significant judgment from management and is based on several factors including (i) the underlying collateral

performance, (ii) discussions with the borrower, (iii) borrower events of default, and (iv) other facts that impact

the borrower’s ability to pay the contractual amounts due under the terms of the loan. If a loan is determined to be

impaired, we record the impairment as a component of our CECL reserves by applying the practical expedient for

collateral dependent loans. The CECL reserves are assessed on an individual basis for these loans by comparing

the estimated fair value of the underlying collateral, less costs to sell, to the book value of the respective loan.

These valuations require significant judgments, which include assumptions regarding capitalization rates, discount

rates, leasing, creditworthiness of major tenants, occupancy rates, availability and cost of financing, exit plan, loan

sponsorship, actions of other lenders, and other factors deemed relevant by us. Actual losses, if any, could

12

Blackstone Mortgage Trust, Inc.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued) (Unaudited)

ultimately differ materially from these estimates. We only expect to charge-off the impairment losses in our

consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP if and when such amounts are deemed non-

recoverable. This is generally at the time a loan is repaid or foreclosed. However, non-recoverability may also be

concluded if, in our determination, it is nearly certain that all amounts due will not be collected.

Contractual Term and Unfunded Loan Commitments

Expected credit losses are estimated over the contractual term of each loan, adjusted for expected repayments. As part of

our quarterly review of our loan portfolio, we assess the expected repayment date of each loan, which is used to determine

the contractual term for purposes of computing our CECL reserves.

Additionally, the expected credit losses over the contractual period of our loans are subject to the obligation to extend

credit through our unfunded loan commitments. The CECL reserve for unfunded loan commitments is adjusted quarterly,

as we consider the expected timing of future funding obligations over the estimated life of the loan. The considerations in

estimating our CECL reserve for unfunded loan commitments are similar to those used for the related outstanding loans

receivable.

Credit Quality Indicator

Our risk rating is our primary credit quality indicator in assessing our current expected credit loss reserve. We perform a

quarterly risk review of our portfolio of loans, and assign each loan a risk rating based on a variety of factors, including,

without limitation, origination LTV, debt yield, property type, geographic and local market dynamics, physical condition,

cash flow volatility, leasing and tenant profile, loan structure and exit plan, and project sponsorship. Based on a 5-point

scale, our loans are rated “l” through “5,” from less risk to greater risk, relative to our loan portfolio in the aggregate, which

ratings are defined as follows:

1 -Very Low Risk

2 -Low Risk

3 -Medium Risk

4 -High Risk/Potential for Loss: A loan that has a risk of realizing a principal loss.

5 -Impaired/Loss Likely: A loan that has a very high risk of realizing a principal loss or has otherwise incurred a

principal loss.

Estimation of Economic Conditions

In addition to the WARM method computations and probability-weighted models described above, our CECL reserves are

also adjusted to reflect our estimation of the current and future economic conditions that impact the performance of the

commercial real estate assets securing our loans. These estimations include unemployment rates, interest rates, expectations

of inflation and/or recession, and other macroeconomic factors impacting the likelihood and magnitude of potential credit

losses for our loans during their anticipated term. In addition to the CMBS data we have licensed from Trepp LLC, we

have also licensed certain macroeconomic financial forecasts to inform our view of the potential future impact that broader

economic conditions may have on our loan portfolio’s performance. We generally also incorporate information from other

sources, including information and opinions available to our Manager, to further inform these estimations. This process

requires significant judgments about future events that, while based on the information available to us as of the balance

sheet date, are ultimately indeterminate and the actual economic condition impacting our portfolio could vary significantly

from the estimates we made as of March 31, 2025.

Real Estate Owned

We may assume legal title or physical possession of the collateral underlying a loan through a foreclosure, a deed-in-lieu of

foreclosure transaction, or a loan modification in which we receive an equity interest in and/or control over decision-

making at the property, resulting in us consolidating the real estate assets as VIEs. These real estate acquisitions are

classified as real estate owned, or REO, on our consolidated balance sheet and are initially recognized at fair value on the

acquisition date in accordance with the ASC Topic 805, “Business Combinations.”

Upon acquisition of REO, we assess the fair value of acquired tangible and intangible assets, which may include land,

buildings, tenant improvements, “above-market” and “below-market” leases, acquired in-place leases, other identified

13

Blackstone Mortgage Trust, Inc.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued) (Unaudited)

intangible assets and assumed liabilities, as applicable, and allocate the fair value to the acquired assets and assumed

liabilities. We assess and consider fair value based on estimated cash flow projections that utilize discount and/or

capitalization rates that we deem appropriate, as well as other available market information. Estimates of future cash flows

are based on a number of factors including the historical operating results, known and anticipated trends, and market and

economic conditions. We capitalize acquisition-related costs associated with asset acquisitions.

Real estate assets held for investment, except for land, are depreciated using the straight-line method over the assets’

estimated useful lives of up to 40 years for buildings and 10 years for tenant improvements. Renovations and/or

replacements that improve or extend the life of the asset are capitalized and depreciated over their estimated useful lives.

Lease intangibles are amortized over the remaining term of applicable leases on a straight-line basis. The cost of ordinary

repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred.

Real estate assets held for investment are assessed for impairment on a quarterly basis. If the depreciated cost basis of the

asset exceeds the undiscounted cash flows over the remaining holding period, the asset is considered for impairment. The

impairment loss is recognized when the carrying value of the real estate assets exceed their fair value. The evaluation of

anticipated future cash flows is highly subjective and is based in part on assumptions regarding future occupancy, rental

rates, capital requirements and anticipated holding periods that could differ materially from actual results.

Real estate assets are classified as held for sale in the period when they meet the criteria under ASC Topic 360 “Property,

Plant, and Equipment.” Once a real estate asset is classified as held for sale, depreciation is suspended and the asset is

reported at the lower of its carrying value or fair value less cost to sell. If circumstances arise and we decide not to sell a

real estate asset previously classified as held for sale, the real estate asset is reclassified as held for investment. Upon

reclassification, the real estate asset is measured at the lower of (i) its carrying amount prior to classification as held for

sale, adjusted for depreciation expense that would have been recognized had the real estate been classified as held for

investment, and (ii) its estimated fair value at the time of reclassification.

As of March 31, 2025, we had eight REO assets which were all classified as held for investment.

Agency Multifamily Lending Partnership

In the second quarter of 2024, we entered into an agreement with M&T Realty Capital Corporation, or MTRCC, a

subsidiary of M&T Bank, that allows our borrowers to access multifamily agency financing through MTRCC’s Fannie

Mae DUS and Freddie Mac Optigo lending platforms, or the Agency Multifamily Lending Partnership. We will receive a

portion of origination, servicing, and other fees for loans that we refer to MTRCC for origination under both the Fannie

Mae and Freddie Mac programs. Additionally, we will share in losses with MTRCC and Fannie Mae on loans that we refer

to MTRCC for origination under the Fannie Mae program.

Revenue Recognition

For loans that we refer to MTRCC for origination under both the Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac programs, we recognize our

allocable portion of origination, servicing, and other fees in other income when we have satisfied our performance

obligations in accordance with the "Revenue from Contracts with Customers" Topic of the FASB, or ASC 606. Our

performance obligations are generally satisfied when the loan is referred by us to MTRCC and subsequently originated and

sold under the Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac programs. A portion of the fees recognized, such as servicing fees, are variable

and will be reevaluated for collectability on a recurring basis.

Loss-sharing Obligation

Pursuant to our agreement with MTRCC, we are subject to a loss-sharing obligation with respect to MTRCC’s obligation

to partially guarantee the performance of loans that they originate and sell under the Fannie Mae program. This loss-

sharing agreement requires us to fund a fixed amount of cash into a segregated account based on the amount MTRCC is

required to fund under the Fannie Mae program, with respect to loans we referred to MTRCC.

In addition, we will recognize a liability for these loss-sharing obligations. This liability will be initially recognized at fair

value with a corresponding expense at inception, and it will subsequently be amortized on a straight-line basis over the life

of the loss-sharing obligation. This liability is included within other liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets. As of

both March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, our maximum loss-sharing obligation associated with the loans referred by

us to MTRCC under the Fannie Mae program was $3.5 million, and we have recorded a related liability of $20,000. There

have been no losses incurred as a result of the loss-sharing obligations.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued) (Unaudited)

Derivative Financial Instruments

We classify all derivative financial instruments as either other assets or other liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets

at fair value.

On the date we enter into a derivative contract, we designate each contract as (i) a hedge of a net investment in a foreign

operation, or net investment hedge, (ii) a hedge of a forecasted transaction or of the variability of cash flows to be received

or paid related to a recognized asset or liability, or cash flow hedge, (iii) a hedge of a recognized asset or liability, or fair

value hedge, or (iv) a derivative instrument not to be designated as a hedging derivative, or non-designated hedge. For all

derivatives other than those designated as non-designated hedges, we formally document our hedge relationships and

designation at the contract’s inception. This documentation includes the identification of the hedging instruments and the

hedged items, its risk management objectives, strategy for undertaking the hedge transaction and our evaluation of the

effectiveness of its hedged transaction.

On a quarterly basis, we also formally assess whether the derivative we designated in each hedging relationship is expected

to be, and has been, highly effective in offsetting changes in the value or cash flows of the hedged items. If it is determined

that a derivative is not highly effective at hedging the designated exposure, hedge accounting is discontinued and the

changes in fair value of the instrument are included in net income prospectively. Our net investment hedges are assessed

using a method based on changes in spot exchange rates. Gains and losses, representing hedge components excluded from

the assessment of effectiveness, are recognized in interest income on our consolidated statements of operations over the

contractual term of our net investment hedges on a systematic and rational basis, as documented at hedge inception in

accordance with our accounting policy election. All other changes in the fair value of our derivative instruments that

qualify as hedges are reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) on our consolidated

financial statements. Deferred gains and losses are reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and

into net income in the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings, and are presented in the

same line item as the earnings effect of the hedged item. For cash flow hedges, this is typically when the periodic swap

settlements are made, while for net investment hedges, this occurs when the hedged item is sold or substantially liquidated.

To the extent a derivative does not qualify for hedge accounting and is deemed a non-designated hedge, the changes in its

fair value are included in net income concurrently.

Proceeds or payments from periodic settlements of derivative instruments are classified on our consolidated statement of

cash flows in the same section as the underlying hedged item.

Secured Debt and Asset-Specific Debt

We record investments financed with secured debt or asset-specific debt as separate assets and the related borrowings

under any secured debt or asset-specific debt are recorded as separate liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets. Interest

income earned on the investments and interest expense incurred on the secured debt or asset-specific debt are reported

separately on our consolidated statements of operations.

Loan Participations Sold

In certain instances, we have executed a syndication of a non-recourse loan interest to a third-party. Depending on the

particular structure of the syndication, the loan interest may remain on our GAAP balance sheet or, in other cases, the sale

will be recognized and the loan interest will no longer be included in our consolidated financial statements. When these

sales are not recognized under GAAP we reflect the transaction by recording a loan participation sold liability on our

consolidated balance sheet, however this gross presentation does not impact stockholders’ equity or net income. When the

sales are recognized, our balance sheet only includes our remaining loan interest, and excludes the interest in the loan that

we sold.

15

Blackstone Mortgage Trust, Inc.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued) (Unaudited)

Term Loans

We record our term loans as liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets. Where applicable, any issue discount or

transaction expenses are deferred and amortized through the maturity date of the term loans as additional non-cash interest

expense.

Senior Secured Notes

We record our senior secured notes as liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets. Where applicable, any issue discount

or transaction expenses are deferred and amortized through the maturity date of the senior secured notes as additional non-

cash interest expense.

Convertible Notes

Convertible note proceeds, unless issued with a substantial premium or an embedded conversion feature, are classified as

debt. Additionally, shares issuable under our convertible notes are included in diluted earnings per share in our

consolidated financial statements, if the effect is dilutive, using the if-converted method, regardless of settlement intent.

Where applicable, any issue discount or transaction expenses are deferred and amortized through the maturity date of the

convertible notes as additional non-cash interest expense.

Deferred Financing Costs

The deferred financing costs that are included as a reduction in the net book value of the related liability on our

consolidated balance sheets include issuance and other costs related to our debt obligations. These costs are amortized as

interest expense using the effective interest method over the life of the related obligations.

Underwriting Commissions and Offering Costs

Underwriting commissions and offering costs incurred in connection with common stock offerings are reflected as a

reduction of additional paid-in capital. Costs incurred that are not directly associated with the completion of a common

stock offering are expensed when incurred.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” Topic of the FASB, or ASC 820, defines fair value, establishes a

framework for measuring fair value, and requires certain disclosures about fair value measurements under GAAP.

Specifically, this guidance defines fair value based on exit price, or the price that would be received upon the sale of an

asset or the transfer of a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

ASC 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes and ranks the level of market price observability used in

measuring financial instruments. Market price observability is affected by a number of factors, including the type of

financial instrument, the characteristics specific to the financial instrument, and the state of the marketplace, including the

existence and transparency of transactions between market participants. Financial instruments with readily available quoted

prices in active markets generally will have a higher degree of market price observability and a lesser degree of judgment

used in measuring fair value.

Financial instruments measured and reported at fair value are classified and disclosed based on the observability of inputs

used in the determination, as follows:

• Level 1: Generally includes only unadjusted quoted prices that are available in active markets for identical

financial instruments as of the reporting date.

• Level 2: Pricing inputs include quoted prices in active markets for similar instruments, quoted prices in less active

or inactive markets for identical or similar instruments where multiple price quotes can be obtained, and other

observable inputs, such as interest rates, yield curves, credit risks, and default rates.

• Level 3: Pricing inputs are unobservable for the financial instruments and include situations where there is little, if

any, market activity for the financial instrument. These inputs require significant judgment or estimation by

management of third-parties when determining fair value and generally represent anything that does not meet the

criteria of Levels 1 and 2.

16

Blackstone Mortgage Trust, Inc.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued) (Unaudited)

Certain of our other assets are reported at fair value, as of quarter-end, either (i) on a recurring basis or (ii) on a

nonrecurring basis, as a result of impairment or other events. Our assets that are recorded at fair value are discussed further

in Note 19. We generally value our assets recorded at fair value by either (i) discounting expected cash flows based on

assumptions regarding the collection of principal and interest and estimated market rates, or (ii) obtaining assessments from

third-parties. For collateral-dependent loans that are identified as impaired, we measure impairment by comparing our

estimation of the fair value of the underlying collateral, less costs to sell, to the book value of the respective loan. These

valuations require significant judgments, which include assumptions regarding capitalization rates, discount rates, leasing,

creditworthiness of major tenants, occupancy rates, availability and cost of financing, exit plan, loan sponsorship, actions

of other lenders, and other factors.

As of March 31, 2025, we had an aggregate $555.4 million asset-specific CECL reserve related to 13 of our loans

receivable with an aggregate amortized cost basis of $1.5 billion, net of cost-recovery proceeds. The CECL reserve was

recorded based on our estimation of the fair value of the loans' aggregate underlying collateral as of March 31, 2025. These

loans receivable are therefore measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis using significant unobservable inputs, and are

classified as Level 3 assets in the fair value hierarchy. We estimated the fair value of the collateral underlying the loans

receivable by considering a variety of inputs including property performance, market data, and comparable sales, as

applicable. The significant unobservable inputs employed include the exit capitalization rate assumption used to forecast

the future sale price of the underlying real estate collateral, which ranged from 6.00% to 8.00%, and the unlevered discount

rate assumption, which ranged from 7.00% to 15.00%.

In the three months ended March 31, 2025, we acquired legal title to one REO asset through a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure

transaction. At the time of acquisition, we determined the fair value of the real estate asset based on a variety of inputs

including, but not limited to, estimated cash flow projections, leasing assumptions, required capital expenditures, market

data, and comparable sales. The REO asset was measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis using significant

unobservable inputs and is classified as a Level 3 asset in the fair value hierarchy. The significant unobservable inputs

employed include (i) the exit capitalization rate assumption of 8.55% used to forecast the future sale price of the asset, and

(ii) the unlevered discount rate assumption of 10.55%. Refer to Note 4 and Note 19 for additional information.

We are also required by GAAP to disclose fair value information about financial instruments, which are not otherwise

reported at fair value in our consolidated balance sheet, to the extent it is practicable to estimate a fair value for those

instruments. These disclosure requirements exclude certain financial instruments and all non-financial instruments.

The following methods and assumptions are used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments, for which

it is practicable to estimate that value:

• Cash and cash equivalents: The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents approximates fair value.
• Loans receivable, net: The fair values of these loans were estimated using a discounted cash flow methodology,

taking into consideration various factors including capitalization rates, discount rates, leasing, credit worthiness of

major tenants, occupancy rates, availability and cost of financing, exit plan, loan sponsorship, actions of other

lenders, and other factors.

• Derivative financial instruments: The fair value of our foreign currency and interest rate contracts was estimated

using advice from a third-party derivative specialist, based on contractual cash flows and observable inputs

comprising foreign currency rates and credit spreads.

• Secured debt, net: The fair value of these instruments was estimated based on the rate at which a similar credit

facility would currently be priced.

• Securitized debt obligations, net: The fair value of these instruments was estimated by utilizing third-party pricing

service providers. In determining the value of a particular investment, pricing service providers may use broker-

dealer quotations, reported trades, or valuation estimates from their internal pricing models to determine the

reported price.

• Asset-specific debt, net: The fair value of these instruments was estimated based on the rate at which a similar

agreement would currently be priced.

• Loan participations sold, net: The fair value of these instruments was estimated based on the value of the related

loan receivable asset.

• Term loans, net: The fair value of these instruments was estimated by utilizing third-party pricing service

providers. In determining the value of a particular investment, pricing service providers may use broker-dealer

17

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued) (Unaudited)

quotations, reported trades, or valuation estimates from their internal pricing models to determine the reported

price.

• Senior secured notes, net: The fair value of these instruments was estimated by utilizing third-party pricing service

providers. In determining the value of a particular investment, pricing service providers may use broker-dealer

quotations, reported trades, or valuation estimates from their internal pricing models to determine the reported

price.

• Convertible notes, net: Each series of the convertible notes is actively traded and their fair values were obtained

using quoted market prices.

Income Taxes

Our financial results generally do not reflect provisions for current or deferred income taxes on our REIT taxable income.

We believe that we operate in a manner that will continue to allow us to be taxed as a REIT and, as a result, we generally

do not expect to pay substantial corporate level taxes other than those payable by our taxable REIT subsidiaries. If we were

to fail to meet these requirements, we may be subject to federal, state, and local income tax on current and past income, and

penalties. Refer to Note 17 for additional information.

Stock-Based Compensation

Our stock-based compensation consists of awards issued to our Manager, certain individuals employed by an affiliate of

our Manager, and certain members of our board of directors that vest over the life of the awards, as well as deferred stock

units issued to certain members of our board of directors. Stock-based compensation expense is recognized for these

awards in net income on a variable basis over the applicable vesting period of the awards, based on the value of our class A

common stock. Refer to Note 18 for additional information.

Earnings per Share

Basic earnings per share, or Basic EPS, is computed in accordance with the two-class method and is based on (i) the net

earnings allocable to our class A common stock, including restricted class A common stock and deferred stock units,

divided by (ii) the weighted-average number of shares of our class A common stock, including restricted class A common

stock and deferred stock units outstanding during the period. Our restricted class A common stock is considered a

participating security, as defined by GAAP, and has been included in our Basic EPS under the two-class method as these

restricted shares have the same rights as our other shares of class A common stock, including participating in any gains or

losses.

Diluted earnings per share, or Diluted EPS, is determined using the if-converted method, and is based on (i) the net

earnings, adjusted for interest expense incurred on our convertible notes during the relevant period, net of incentive fees,

allocable to our class A common stock, including restricted class A common stock and deferred stock units, divided by (ii)

the weighted-average number of shares of our class A common stock, including restricted class A common stock, deferred

stock units, and shares of class A common stock issuable under our convertible notes. Refer to Note 15 for additional

discussion of earnings per share.

Foreign Currency

In the normal course of business, we enter into transactions not denominated in United States, or U.S., dollars. Foreign

exchange gains and losses arising on such transactions are recorded as a gain or loss in our consolidated statements of

operations. In addition, we consolidate entities that have a non-U.S. dollar functional currency. Non-U.S. dollar

denominated assets and liabilities are translated to U.S. dollars at the exchange rate prevailing at the reporting date and

income, expenses, gains, and losses are translated at the average exchange rate over the applicable period. Cumulative

translation adjustments arising from the translation of non-U.S. dollar denominated subsidiaries are recorded in other

comprehensive income (loss).

3. LOANS RECEIVABLE, NET

The following table details overall statistics for our loans receivable portfolio ($ in thousands):

(1) Unfunded commitments will primarily be funded to finance our borrowers’ construction or development of real

estate-related assets, capital improvements of existing assets, or lease-related expenditures. These commitments will

generally be funded over the term of each loan, subject in certain cases to an expiration date.

(2) The weighted-average cash coupon and all-in yield are expressed as a spread over the relevant floating benchmark

rates, which include SOFR, SONIA, EURIBOR, and other indices, as applicable to each loan. As of March 31, 2025

and December 31, 2024, substantially all of our loans by principal balance earned a floating rate of interest,

primarily indexed to SOFR. In addition to cash coupon, all-in yield includes the amortization of deferred origination

and extension fees, loan origination costs, and purchase discounts, as well as the accrual of exit fees. Excludes loans

accounted for under the cost-recovery and nonaccrual methods, if any.

(3) Maximum maturity assumes all extension options are exercised by the borrower, however our loans may be repaid

prior to such date. Excludes loans accounted for under the cost-recovery and nonaccrual methods, if any. As of

March 31, 2025, 17% of our loans by principal balance were subject to yield maintenance or other prepayment

restrictions and 83% were open to repayment by the borrower without penalty. As of December 31, 2024, 10% of

our loans by principal balance were subject to yield maintenance or other prepayment restrictions and 90% were

open to repayment by the borrower without penalty.

Loan Risk Ratings

As further described in Note 2, we evaluate our loan portfolio on a quarterly basis. In conjunction with our quarterly loan

portfolio review, we assess the risk factors of each loan, and assign a risk rating based on several factors. Factors

considered in the assessment include, but are not limited to, risk of loss, origination LTV, debt yield, collateral

performance, structure, exit plan, and sponsorship. Loans are rated “1” (less risk) through “5” (greater risk), which ratings

are defined in Note 2.

The following table allocates the net book value and net loan exposure balances based on our internal risk ratings ($ in

thousands):

(1) Net loan exposure reflects the amount of each loan that is subject to risk of credit loss to us as of March 31, 2025,

which is our principal balance net of (i) $494.1 million of asset-specific debt, (ii) $117.1 million of cost-recovery

proceeds, (iii) our total loans receivable CECL reserve of $741.5 million, and (iv) $101.7 million of junior loan

interests that we have sold, but that remain included in our consolidated financial statements. Our asset-specific debt

and loan participations sold are structurally non-recourse and term-matched to the corresponding collateral loans.

Our loan portfolio had a weighted-average risk rating of 3.0 as of both March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024,

respectively.

Current Expected Credit Loss Reserve

The CECL reserves required under GAAP reflect our current estimate of potential credit losses related to the loans included

in our consolidated balance sheets. Refer to Note 2 for further discussion of our CECL reserves. The following table

presents the activity in our loans receivable CECL reserve by investment pool for the three months ended March 31, 2025

and 2024 ($ in thousands):

(1) Includes one U.S. dollar-denominated loan that is located in Bermuda.

During the three months ended March 31, 2025, we recorded a net increase of $49.4 million in the CECL reserves against

our loans receivable portfolio, primarily due to a $32.9 million increase in our general CECL reserves, offset by charge-

offs of our CECL reserves of $41.8 million, bringing our total loans receivable CECL reserve to $741.5 million as of

March 31, 2025. This increase in our general CECL reserves was primarily as a result of a change in the portfolio mix, as

loan repayments were offset by new originations, as well as changes in the historical loss rate. Additionally, we recorded an

increase in our asset-specific CECL reserves, primarily as a result of one additional loan that was impaired during the three

months ended March 31, 2025, which was secured by an office asset. The office sector is generally facing reduced tenant

and capital markets demand in recent years. Impairments are each determined individually as a result of changes in the

specific credit quality factors for such loans. These factors included, among others, (i) the underlying collateral

performance, (ii) discussions with the borrower, (iii) borrower events of default, and (iv) other facts that impact the

borrower’s ability to pay the contractual amounts due under the terms of the loan. The income accrual was suspended on

the one loan that was impaired during the three months ended March 31, 2025, as the recovery of income and principal was

doubtful. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, we recorded $2.8 million of interest income on this loan. This

increase in the CECL reserves was partially offset by a resolution and a $41.8 million charge-off of the CECL reserve on

one previously impaired loan. The resolution was the result of an acquisition of title through a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure

transaction related to an office property located in Chicago, IL, which is now included on our consolidated balance sheet as

an REO asset.

As of March 31, 2025, we had an aggregate $555.4 million asset-specific CECL reserve related to 13 of our loans

receivable, with an aggregate amortized cost basis of $1.5 billion, net of cost-recovery proceeds. This CECL reserve was

recorded based on our estimation of the fair value of each of the loan's underlying collateral as of March 31, 2025. No

income was recorded on our impaired loans subsequent to determining that they were impaired. During the three months

ended March 31, 2025, we received an aggregate $18.9 million of cash proceeds from such loans that were applied as a

reduction to the amortized cost basis of each respective loan.

As of March 31, 2025, one of our performing loans with an amortized cost basis of $195.0 million, inclusive of a

$50.0 million junior loan participation sold, was past its current maturity date, was greater than 90 days past due on its

interest payment, and had a risk rating of “3.” This loan was not impaired as of March 31, 2025 as the estimated fair value

of the underlying collateral exceeded our basis in the loan. As of March 31, 2025, all other borrowers under performing

loans were in compliance with the applicable contractual terms of each respective loan, including any required payment of

interest. Refer to Note 2 for further discussion of our policies on revenue recognition and our CECL reserves.

Loan Modifications Pursuant to ASC 326

During the twelve months ended March 31, 2025, we entered into six loan modifications that require disclosure pursuant to

ASC 326. Five of these loans were collateralized by office assets and one was collateralized by a mixed-use asset.

Loans with a risk rating of “3” and “4” are included in the determination of our general CECL reserve and loans with a risk

rating of “5” have an asset-specific CECL reserve. Loan modifications that allow the option to pay interest in-kind increase

our potential economics and the size of our secured claim, as interest is capitalized and added to the outstanding principal

balance for applicable loans. As of March 31, 2025, no income was recorded on our loans subsequent to determining that

they were impaired and risk rated “5.”

One of the loan modifications included a term extension of 14 months. As of March 31, 2025, the amortized cost basis of

this loan was $108.7 million, or 0.6% of our aggregate loans receivable portfolio, with an aggregate $23.9 million of

unfunded commitments. This loan was in compliance with its modified contractual terms as of March 31, 2025.

The other five loan modifications included term extensions combined with other-than-insignificant payment delays and/or

interest rate reductions. The first loan modification included a term extension of two years, a $34.5 million increase in our

total loan commitment, and was converted to a fixed coupon rate of 15.00% with interest paid in-kind, inclusive of a senior

portion of our loan that accrues interest at a floating rate of SOFR + 2.50%. We are accruing interest on the senior portion

of the loan, and deferring interest income recognition on the remaining portion. The second loan modification included a

term extension of five years, the borrower repaid $6.0 million of principal, and the loan was bifurcated into a separate

senior loan and mezzanine loan. We are accruing interest on the senior loan, which is paying interest current, and deferring

interest on the mezzanine loan that is paying interest in-kind. The third loan modification had a term extension of 4.8 years,

the interest rate decreased by 0.10%, and the loan was bifurcated into a separate senior loan and mezzanine loan. The

senior loan is paying interest partially current, and partially in-kind, while the mezzanine loan is paying interest in-kind.

We are accruing interest on the portion of the senior loan that is paying current and a portion that is paid in-kind, and

deferring interest income recognition on the remaining portion, including the entire mezzanine loan. The fourth loan

modification had a term extension of 3.8 years, the loan was bifurcated into a separate senior loan and mezzanine loan, and

the borrower paid a $1.7 million fee upon closing of the modification. We are accruing interest on the senior loan, which is

paying interest current, and deferring interest on the mezzanine loan that is paying interest in-kind. The fifth loan

modification had a term extension of one year, the interest rate on the senior loan decreased by 2.43%, the borrower repaid

$25.0 million upon closing of the modification, and the loan was bifurcated into a separate senior loan and mezzanine loan.

The senior loan is paying interest partially current, and partially in-kind, while the mezzanine loan is paying interest in-

kind. We are accruing all of the interest on the senior loan that is paying partially current and partially in-kind, and

deferring interest on the mezzanine loan that is paying interest in-kind. As of March 31, 2025, the aggregate amortized cost

basis of these loans was $837.3 million, or 4.4% of our aggregate loans receivable portfolio, with an aggregate

$53.8 million of unfunded commitments. The loans were in compliance with their contractual terms as of March 31, 2025.

As of March 31, 2025, five of these modified loans had a risk rating of “5,” and one loan had a risk rating of “4.” In

aggregate, these modifications resulted in the bifurcation of four loans into separate senior and mezzanine loans. Of the

four newly bifurcated senior loans, three loans had a risk rating of “4,” and one loan had a risk rating of “3.” The four

newly bifurcated mezzanine loans all had a risk rating of “5.”

Multifamily Joint Venture

As discussed in Note 2, we entered into a Multifamily Joint Venture in April 2017. As of both March 31, 2025 and

December 31, 2024, our Multifamily Joint Venture held a $43.3 million loan, which is included in the loan disclosures

above. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, our Multifamily Joint Venture also held a $32.3 million and

$32.4 million REO asset, respectively, which is included in the REO disclosures in Note 4. Refer to Note 2 for additional

discussion of our Multifamily Joint Venture.

4. REAL ESTATE OWNED, NET

As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we had eight and seven REO assets, respectively. During the three months

ended March 31, 2025, we acquired one REO asset through a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure transaction, with an acquisition

price of $45.0 million. We allocated $19.7 million to building and building improvements, $15.0 million to land and land

improvements, $14.5 million to acquired intangible assets, and $(4.2) million to other components of the purchase price.

We charged off $41.8 million of CECL reserves relating to this loan, as the loan’s carrying value of $86.9 million at the

time of acquisition exceeded the acquisition date fair value noted above. See Note 2 for additional discussion of REO.

March 31, 2025, the Net Lease Joint Venture held six investments. Refer to Note 2 for additional discussion of our Net

Lease Joint Venture.

During the three months ended March 31, 2025 we contributed $25.6 million to the joint venture, did not receive any

distributions, and recorded an $874,000 loss from unconsolidated entities in our consolidated statements of operations. As

of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, our investment in unconsolidated entities totaled $29.0 million and

$4.5 million, respectively. There was no income or loss from unconsolidated entities for the three months ended March 31,

In the first quarter of 2025, the Net Lease Joint Venture entered into a derivative agreement where we would be required to

make payment for periodic or final settlement of derivative contracts if the Net Lease Joint Venture is unable to fulfill its

obligations.

Current Expected Credit Loss Reserves for Unfunded Loan Commitments

As of March 31, 2025, we had aggregate unfunded commitments of $1.0 billion related to 57 loans receivable. The

expected credit losses over the contractual period of our loans are impacted by our obligation to extend further credit

through our unfunded loan commitments. See Note 2 for further discussion of the CECL reserves related to our unfunded

loan commitments, and Note 22 for further discussion of our unfunded loan commitments. During the three months ended

March 31, 2025, we recorded an increase in the CECL reserves related to our unfunded loan commitments of $75,000,

bringing our total unfunded loan commitments CECL reserve to $10.5 million as of March 31, 2025. During the three

months ended March 31, 2024, we recorded a decrease in the CECL reserves related to our unfunded loan commitments of

$2.7 million, bringing our total unfunded loan commitments CECL reserve to $12.6 million as of March 31, 2024.

7. SECURED DEBT, NET

Our secured debt represents borrowings under our secured credit facilities. During the three months ended March 31, 2025,

we closed $732.4 million of new borrowings against $908.0 million of collateral assets.

The following table details our secured debt ($ in thousands):

(1) Costs incurred in connection with our secured debt are recorded on our consolidated balance sheets when incurred

and recognized as a component of interest expense over the life of each related facility.

Secured Credit Facilities

Our secured credit facilities are bilateral agreements we use to finance diversified pools of senior loan collateral with

sufficient flexibility to accommodate our investment and asset management strategy. The facilities are uniformly structured

to provide currency, index, and term-matched financing without capital markets based mark-to-market provisions. Our

credit facilities are diversified across 14 counterparties, primarily consisting of top global financial institutions to minimize

our counterparty risk exposure.

The following table details our secured credit facilities as of March 31, 2025 ($ in thousands):

(1) Represents the number of lenders with fundings advanced in each respective currency, as well as the total number of

facility lenders.

(2) Our secured debt agreements are generally term-matched to their underlying collateral. Therefore, the weighted-

average maturity is generally allocated based on the maximum maturity date of the collateral loans, assuming all

extension options are exercised by the borrower. In limited instances, the maturity date of the respective secured

credit facility is used.

(3) Represents the principal balance of the collateral loan assets and the book value of the collateral REO assets.

(4) Maximum maturity assumes all extension options are exercised by the borrower, however our loans may be repaid

prior to such date.

(5) Includes Australian Dollar, Canadian Dollar, Swedish Krona, and Swiss Franc currencies.

The availability of funding under our secured credit facilities is based on the amount of approved collateral, which

collateral is proposed by us in our discretion and approved by the respective counterparty in its discretion, resulting in a

mutually agreed collateral portfolio construction. Certain structural elements of our secured credit facilities, including the

limitation on recourse to us and facility economics, are influenced by the specific collateral portfolio construction of each

facility, and therefore vary within and among the facilities.

SOFR, SONIA, EURIBOR, CORRA, and other indices as applicable.

(2) Represents the amount of new borrowings we closed during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and year ended

December 31, 2024, respectively.

(3) In addition to spread, the cost includes the associated deferred fees and expenses related to the respective

borrowings. In addition to cash coupon, all-in yield includes the amortization of deferred origination and extension

fees, loan origination costs, and purchase discounts, as well as the accrual of exit fees. All-in yield excludes loans

accounted for under the cost-recovery and nonaccrual methods, if any, and REO assets.

(4) Represents the weighted-average all-in cost as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, and is not

necessarily indicative of the spread applicable to recent or future borrowings.

(5) Represents the principal balance of the collateral loan assets and the book value of the collateral REO assets.

(6) Represents the difference between the weighted-average all-in yield and weighted-average all-in cost.

Our secured credit facilities generally permit us to increase or decrease the amount advanced against the pledged collateral

in our discretion within certain maximum/minimum amounts and frequency limitations. As of March 31, 2025, there was

an aggregate $915.7 million available to be drawn at our discretion under our credit facilities.

Financial Covenants

As of March 31, 2025, we are subject to the following financial covenants related to our secured debt: (i) our ratio of

earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization, or EBITDA, to fixed charges, as defined in the agreements,

shall be not less than 1.25 to 1.0; (ii) our tangible net worth, as defined in the agreements, shall not be less than $3.6 billion

as of each measurement date plus 75% to 85% of the net cash proceeds of future equity issuances subsequent to March 31,

indebtedness; and (iv) our indebtedness shall not exceed 83.33% of our total assets. As of March 31, 2025 and

December 31, 2024, we were in compliance with these covenants.

During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the financial covenant under each applicable secured debt agreement

related to the ratio of our EBITDA to fixed charges, as noted above, was amended so that the ratio shall be not less than

1.25 to 1.0 with respect to each of the four fiscal quarters beginning with the quarter ended September 30, 2024, and shall

be not less than 1.3 to 1.0 thereafter.

8. SECURITIZED DEBT OBLIGATIONS, NET

We have financed certain pools of our loans through collateralized loan obligations, or CLOs. The CLOs are consolidated

in our financial statements and have issued securitized debt obligations that are non-recourse to us. Refer to Note 20 for

further discussion of our CLOs. The following tables detail our securitized debt obligations and the underlying collateral

assets that are financed by our CLOs ($ in thousands):

(1) The book value of underlying collateral assets excludes any applicable CECL reserves.

accounted for under the cost-recovery and nonaccrual methods, if any, and REO assets.

(4) Underlying Collateral Assets term represents the weighted-average final maturity of such loans, assuming all

extension options are exercised by the borrower, and excludes REO assets. Repayments of securitized debt

obligations are tied to timing of the related collateral loan asset repayments. The term of these obligations represents

the rated final distribution date of the securitizations.

(5) During the three months ended March 31, 2025, we recorded $27.6 million of interest expense related to our

securitized debt obligations.

10. LOAN PARTICIPATIONS SOLD, NET

The sale of a non-recourse interest in a loan through a participation agreement generally does not qualify for sale

accounting under GAAP. For such transactions, we therefore present the whole loan as an asset and the loan participation

sold as a liability on our consolidated balance sheet until the loan is repaid. We generally have no obligation to pay

principal and interest under these liabilities, and the gross presentation of loan participations sold does not impact our

stockholders’ equity or net income.

The following table details our loan participations sold ($ in thousands):

(1) The book value of underlying collateral assets excludes any applicable CECL reserves.

(2) The weighted-average all-in yield and cost are expressed over the relevant floating benchmark rates, which include

SOFR and SONIA, as applicable. This non-debt participation sold structure is inherently matched in terms of

currency and interest rate. In addition to cash coupon, yield/cost includes the amortization of deferred fees and

financing costs.

(3) The term is determined based on the maximum maturity of the loan, assuming all extension options are exercised by

the borrower. Our loan participations sold are inherently non-recourse and term-matched to the corresponding loan.

(4) During the three months ended March 31, 2025, we recorded $3.0 million of interest expense related to our loan

participations sold. During the year ended December 31, 2024, we recorded $22.6 million of interest expense related

to our loan participations sold.

11. TERM LOANS, NET

As of March 31, 2025, the following senior term loan facilities, or Term Loans, were outstanding ($ in thousands):

Term Loans.

The Term Loans are partially amortizing, with an amount equal to 1.0% per annum of the aggregate initial principal

balance due in quarterly installments. The issue discount and transaction expenses on the B-1 Term Loan were $3.1 million

and $12.6 million, respectively. The issue discount and transaction expenses of the B-4 Term Loan were $17.3 million and

$10.3 million, respectively. The issue discount and transaction expenses of the B-5 Term loan were $3.3 million and

$5.9 million, respectively. These discounts and expenses are amortized into interest expense over the life of each Term

our fixed rate exposure to a SOFR + 3.95% floating rate exposure.

The transaction expenses on the senior secured notes due 2027, or the October 2021 senior secured notes, were

$6.3 million, which are amortized into interest expense over the life of the October 2021 senior secured notes. The

transaction expenses on the senior secured notes due 2029, or the December 2024 senior secured notes, were $7.9 million,

which are amortized into interest expense over the life of the December 2024 senior secured notes. During the three months

ended March 31, 2025, we recorded $12.6 million of interest expense related to our Senior Secured Notes, including

$697,000 of amortization of deferred fees and expenses.

There was no repurchase activity or gain on debt extinguishment during the three months ended March 31, 2025. During

the three months ended March 31, 2024, we repurchased an aggregate principal amount of $26.2 million of the October

2021 senior secured notes at a weighted-average price of 88%. This resulted in a gain on extinguishment of debt of

$3.0 million during the three months ended March 31, 2024.

The following table details the net book value of our Senior Secured Notes on our consolidated balance sheets ($ in

thousands):

(1) Represents the fair value of an interest rate swap that we entered into to convert the fixed rate exposure of the

December 2024 senior secured notes into floating rate. Refer to Note 14 for additional discussion.

The Senior Secured Notes contain the financial covenant that our indebtedness shall not exceed 83.33% of our total assets.

As of March 31, 2025 and 2024, we were in compliance with this covenant. Under certain circumstances, we may, at our

option, release all of the collateral securing our Senior Secured Notes, in which case we would also be required to maintain

a total unencumbered assets to total unsecured indebtedness ratio of 1.20 or greater. This covenant is not currently in effect

as the collateral securing our Senior Secured Notes has not been released.

13. CONVERTIBLE NOTES, NET

As of March 31, 2025, the following convertible senior notes, or Convertible Notes, were outstanding ($ in thousands):

(1) Includes issuance costs that are amortized through interest expense over the life of the Convertible Notes using the

effective interest method.

(2) Represents the price of class A common stock per share based on a conversion rate of 27.5702 for the Convertible

Notes. The conversion rate represents the number of shares of class A common stock issuable per $1,000 principal

amount of Convertible Notes. The cumulative dividend threshold has not been exceeded as of March 31, 2025.

Other than as provided by the optional redemption provisions with respect to our Convertible Notes, we may not redeem

the Convertible Notes prior to maturity. The Convertible Notes are convertible at the holders’ option into shares of our

class A common stock, only under specific circumstances, prior to the close of business on December 14, 2026 at the

applicable conversion rate in effect on the conversion date. Thereafter, the Convertible Notes are convertible at the option

of the holder at any time until the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date. The last reported

sale price of our class A common stock of $20.00 on March 31, 2025, the last trading day in the three months ended

March 31, 2025, was less than the per share conversion price of the Convertible Notes.

Accrued interest payable for the Convertible Notes was $649,000 and $4.3 million as of March 31, 2025 and December 31,

2024, respectively. Refer to Note 2 for additional discussion of our accounting policies for the Convertible Notes.

14. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The objective of our use of derivative financial instruments is to minimize the risks and/or costs associated with our

investments and/or financing transactions. These derivatives may or may not qualify as net investment, cash flow, or fair

value hedges under the hedge accounting requirements of ASC 815 – “Derivatives and Hedging.” Derivatives not

designated as hedges are not speculative and are used to manage our exposure to interest rate movements and other

identified risks. Refer to Note 2 for additional discussion of the accounting for designated and non-designated hedges.

The use of derivative financial instruments involves certain risks, including the risk that the counterparties to these

contractual arrangements do not perform as agreed. To mitigate this risk, we only enter into derivative financial

instruments with counterparties that have appropriate credit ratings and are major financial institutions with which we and

our affiliates also have other financial relationships.

Net Investment Hedges of Foreign Currency Risk

Certain of our international investments expose us to fluctuations in foreign interest rates and currency exchange rates.

These fluctuations may impact the value of our cash receipts and payments in terms of our functional currency, the U.S.

dollar. We use foreign currency forward contracts to protect the value or fix the amount of certain investments or cash

flows in terms of the U.S. dollar.

Designated Hedges of Foreign Currency Risk

Fair Value Hedges of Interest Rate Risk

Certain of our corporate financings expose us to fluctuations in the fair value of our outstanding fixed rate debt. We use

derivative financial instruments, which include interest rate swaps, to hedge interest rate risk associated with changes in the

fair value of our fixed rate debt. The changes in the value of the interest rate swap is recognized in earnings and offset the

corresponding changes in the fair value of the debt.

paid net cash settlements of $67.3 million on our foreign currency forward contracts, respectively. Those amounts

are included as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income on our consolidated balance sheets.

(2) During the three months ended March 31, 2025, we recorded total interest and related expenses of $242.2 million

which was reduced by $0 related to income generated by our cash flow hedges. During the three months ended

March 31, 2024, we recorded total interest and related expenses of $343.7 million which was reduced by $425,000

related to income generated by our cash flow hedges.

Credit-Risk Related Contingent Features

We have entered into agreements with certain of our derivative counterparties that contain provisions where if we were to

default on any of our indebtedness, including default where repayment of the indebtedness has not been accelerated by the

lender, we may also be declared in default on our derivative obligations. In addition, certain of our agreements with our

derivative counterparties require that we post collateral to secure net liability positions. As of March 31, 2025, we were in a

net liability position with our counterparties related to our foreign exchange hedges, and had $69.6 million of collateral

posted with two counterparties. As of December 31, 2024, we were in a net asset position with our counterparties related to

our foreign exchange hedges, and had $4.8 million of collateral posted with one counterparty related to our interest rate

swap.

class A common stock and 100,000,000 shares of preferred stock. Subject to applicable NYSE listing requirements, our

board of directors is authorized to cause us to issue additional shares of authorized stock without stockholder approval. In

addition, to the extent not issued, currently authorized stock may be reclassified between class A common stock and

preferred stock. We did not have any shares of preferred stock issued and outstanding as of March 31, 2025 and

December 31, 2024.

Share Repurchase Program

In July 2024, our board of directors authorized the repurchase of up to $150.0 million of our class A common stock. Under

the repurchase program, repurchases may be made from time to time in open market transactions, in privately negotiated

transactions, in agreements and arrangements structured in a manner consistent with Rules 10b-18 and 10b5-1 under the

Exchange Act or otherwise. The timing and the actual amounts repurchased will depend on a variety of factors, including

legal requirements, price and economic and market conditions. The repurchase program may be changed, suspended or

discontinued at any time and does not have a specified expiration date.

During the three months ended March 31, 2025, we repurchased 1,792,836 shares of class A common stock at a weighted-

average price per share of $17.63, for a total cost of $31.6 million. We did not have any repurchases of class A common

stock during the three months ended March 31, 2024. As of March 31, 2025, the amount remaining available for

repurchases under the program was $89.2 million.

Class A Common Stock and Deferred Stock Units

Holders of shares of our class A common stock are entitled to vote on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders and

are entitled to receive dividends authorized by our board of directors and declared by us, in all cases subject to the rights of

the holders of shares of outstanding preferred stock, if any.

We also issue restricted class A common stock under our stock-based incentive plans. Refer to Note 18 for additional

discussion of these long-term incentive plans. In addition to our class A common stock, we also issue deferred stock units

to certain members of our board of directors for services rendered. These deferred stock units are non-voting, but carry the

right to receive dividends in the form of additional deferred stock units in an amount equivalent to the cash dividends paid

to holders of shares of class A common stock.

The following table details the movement in our outstanding shares of class A common stock, including restricted class A

common stock and deferred stock units:

Dividend Reinvestment and Direct Stock Purchase Plan

We have adopted a dividend reinvestment and direct stock purchase plan under which we registered and reserved for

issuance, in the aggregate, 10,000,000 shares of class A common stock. Under the dividend reinvestment component of this

plan, our class A common stockholders can designate all or a portion of their cash dividends to be reinvested in additional

shares of class A common stock. The direct stock purchase component allows stockholders and new investors, subject to

our approval, to purchase shares of class A common stock directly from us. During the three months ended March 31, 2025

and 2024, we issued 1,080 shares and 1,436 shares, respectively, of class A common stock under the dividend reinvestment

component of the plan. As of March 31, 2025, a total of 9,968,032 shares of class A common stock remained available for

At the Market Stock Offering Program

As of March 31, 2025, we are party to seven equity distribution agreements, or ATM Agreements, pursuant to which we

may sell, from time to time, up to an aggregate sales price of $699.1 million of our class A common stock. Sales of class A

common stock made pursuant to our ATM Agreements may be made in negotiated transactions or transactions that are

deemed to be “at the market” offerings as defined in Rule 415 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Actual sales

depend on a variety of factors including market conditions, the trading price of our class A common stock, our capital

needs, and our determination of the appropriate sources of funding to meet such needs. During the three months ended

March 31, 2025 or March 31, 2024, we did not issue any shares of our class A common stock under ATM Agreements. As

of March 31, 2025, sales of our class A common stock with an aggregate sales price of $480.9 million remained available

Dividends

We generally intend to distribute substantially all of our taxable income, which does not necessarily equal net income as

calculated in accordance with GAAP, to our stockholders each year to comply with the REIT provisions of the Internal

Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the Internal Revenue Code. Our dividend policy remains subject to revision at the

discretion of our board of directors. All distributions will be made at the discretion of our board of directors and will

depend upon our taxable income, our financial condition, our maintenance of REIT status, applicable law, and other factors

as our board of directors deems relevant.

On March 14, 2025, we declared a dividend of $0.47 per share, or $80.6 million in aggregate, that was paid on April 15,

2025 to stockholders of record as of March 31, 2025.

The following table details our dividend activity ($ in thousands, except per share data):

Earnings Per Share

We calculate our basic and diluted earnings per share using the two-class method for all periods presented as the unvested

shares of our restricted class A common stock qualify as participating securities, as defined by GAAP. These restricted

shares have the same rights as our other shares of class A common stock, including participating in any dividends, and

therefore have been included in our basic and diluted net income per share calculation. The shares issuable under our

Convertible Notes are included in dilutive earnings per share using the if-converted method when the effect is not

antidilutive.

(2) For both the three months ended March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2024, our Convertible Notes were not included in

the calculation of diluted earnings per share, as the impact is antidilutive. Refer to Note 13 for further discussion of

our convertible notes.

Other Balance Sheet Items

Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income

As of March 31, 2025, total accumulated other comprehensive income was $8.6 million, primarily representing

$211.6 million of net realized and unrealized gains related to changes in the fair value of derivative instruments offset by

$203.0 million of cumulative unrealized currency translation adjustments on assets and liabilities denominated in foreign

currencies. As of December 31, 2024, total accumulated other comprehensive income was $8.3 million, primarily

representing $272.1 million of net realized and unrealized gains related to changes in the fair value of derivative

instruments offset by $263.9 million of cumulative unrealized currency translation adjustments on assets and liabilities

denominated in foreign currencies.

Non-Controlling Interests

The non-controlling interests included on our consolidated balance sheets represent the equity interests in our Multifamily

Joint Venture that are not owned by us. A portion of our Multifamily Joint Venture’s consolidated equity and results of

operations are allocated to these non-controlling interests based on their pro rata ownership of our Multifamily Joint

Venture. As of March 31, 2025, our Multifamily Joint Venture’s total equity was $45.0 million, of which $38.3 million was

owned by us, and $6.8 million was allocated to non-controlling interests. As of December 31, 2024, our Multifamily Joint

Venture’s total equity was $45.9 million, of which $39.0 million was owned by us, and $6.9 million was allocated to non-

16. OTHER EXPENSES

Our other expenses consist of the management and incentive fees we pay to our Manager and our general and

administrative expenses.

Management and Incentive Fees

Pursuant to a management agreement between our Manager and us, or our Management Agreement, our Manager earns a

base management fee in an amount equal to 1.50% per annum multiplied by our Equity, as defined in the Management

Agreement. In addition, our Manager is entitled to an incentive fee in an amount equal to the product of (i) 20% and (ii) the

excess of (a) our Core Earnings (as defined in our Management Agreement) for the previous 12-month period over (b) an

amount equal to 7.00% per annum multiplied by our Equity, provided that our Core Earnings over the prior three-year

period is greater than zero. Core Earnings, as defined in our Management Agreement, is generally equal to our GAAP net

income (loss), including realized gains and losses not otherwise recognized in current period GAAP net income (loss), and

excluding (i) non-cash equity compensation expense, (ii) depreciation and amortization, (iii) unrealized gains (losses), (iv)

net income (loss) attributable to our legacy portfolio, (v) certain non-cash items, and (vi) incentive management fees.

During the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, we incurred $17.2 million and $18.9 million, respectively, of

management fees payable to our Manager. During the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, we did not incur any

respectively, of expenses related to our Multifamily Joint Venture.

17. INCOME TAXES

We have elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code for U.S. federal income tax purposes. We

generally must distribute annually at least 90% of our net taxable income, subject to certain adjustments and excluding any

net capital gain, in order for U.S. federal income tax not to apply to our earnings. To the extent that we satisfy this

distribution requirement, but distribute less than 100% of our net taxable income, we will be subject to U.S. federal income

tax on our undistributed taxable income. In addition, we will be subject to a 4% nondeductible excise tax if the actual

amount that we pay out to our stockholders in a calendar year is less than a minimum amount specified under U.S. federal

tax laws.

Our qualification as a REIT also depends on our ability to meet various other requirements imposed by the Internal

Revenue Code, which relate to organizational structure, diversity of stock ownership, and certain restrictions with regard to

the nature of our assets and the sources of our income. Even if we qualify as a REIT, we may be subject to certain U.S.

federal income and excise taxes and state and local taxes on our income and assets. If we fail to maintain our qualification

as a REIT for any taxable year, we may be subject to material penalties as well as federal, state, and local income tax on

our taxable income at regular corporate rates and we would not be able to qualify as a REIT for the subsequent four full

taxable years. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we were in compliance with all REIT requirements.

Securitization transactions could result in the creation of taxable mortgage pools for federal income tax purposes. As a

REIT, so long as we own 100% of the equity interests in a taxable mortgage pool, we generally would not be adversely

affected by the characterization of the securitization as a taxable mortgage pool. Certain categories of stockholders,

however, such as foreign stockholders eligible for treaty or other benefits, stockholders with net operating losses, and

certain tax-exempt stockholders that are subject to unrelated business income tax, or UBTI, could be subject to increased

taxes on a portion of their dividend income from us that is attributable to the taxable mortgage pool. We have not made

UBTI distributions to our common stockholders and do not intend to make such UBTI distributions in the future.

During the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, we recorded a current income tax provision of $718,000 and

$1.0 million, respectively, primarily related to activities of our U.S. and foreign taxable subsidiaries and various state and

local taxes. We did not have any deferred tax assets or liabilities as of March 31, 2025 or December 31, 2024.

We have net operating losses, or NOLs, generated by our predecessor business that may be carried forward and utilized in

current or future periods. As a result of our issuance of 25,875,000 shares of class A common stock in May 2013, the

availability of our NOLs is generally limited to $2.0 million per annum by change of control provisions promulgated by the

Internal Revenue Service with respect to the ownership of Blackstone Mortgage Trust. As of March 31, 2025, we had

estimated NOLs of $159.0 million that will expire in 2029, unless they are utilized by us prior to expiration. Previously, we

recorded a full valuation allowance against such NOLs as we expected that they would expire unutilized. However,

45

Blackstone Mortgage Trust, Inc.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued) (Unaudited)

although uncertain, we may utilize a portion of NOLs prior to expiration. We do not expect the utilization of NOLs to have

a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. We have recorded a full valuation allowance against such NOLs

as it is probable that they will expire unutilized.

As of March 31, 2025, tax years 2021 through 2024 remain subject to examination by taxing authorities.

18. STOCK-BASED INCENTIVE PLANS

We are externally managed by our Manager and do not currently have any employees. However, as of March 31, 2025, our

Manager, certain individuals employed by an affiliate of our Manager, and certain members of our board of directors were

compensated, in part, through our issuance of stock-based instruments.

Under our two current stock incentive plans, a maximum of 10,400,000 shares of our class A common stock may be issued

to our Manager, our directors and officers, and certain employees of affiliates of our Manager. As of March 31, 2025, there

were 5,999,544 shares available under our current stock incentive plans.

The following table details the movement in our outstanding shares of restricted class A common stock and the weighted-

average grant date fair value per share:

These shares generally vest in installments over a period of three years, pursuant to the terms of the respective award

agreements and the terms of our current benefit plans. The 2,395,727 shares of restricted class A common stock

outstanding as of March 31, 2025 will vest as follows: 1,093,893 shares will vest in 2025; 870,242 shares will vest in 2026;

and 431,592 shares will vest in 2027. As of March 31, 2025, total unrecognized compensation cost relating to unvested

share-based compensation arrangements was $44.8 million based on the grant date fair value of shares granted. This cost is

expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.1 years from March 31, 2025.

19. FAIR VALUES

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value

The following table summarizes our assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis ($ in thousands):

Refer to Note 2 for further discussion regarding fair value measurement.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

As discussed in Note 2, GAAP requires disclosure of fair value information about financial instruments, whether or not

recognized at fair value in the statement of financial position, for which it is practicable to estimate that value.

46

Blackstone Mortgage Trust, Inc.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued) (Unaudited)

The following table details the book value, face amount, and fair value of the financial instruments described in Note 2 ($

in thousands):

Estimates of fair value for cash and cash equivalents and convertible notes are measured using observable, quoted market

prices, or Level 1 inputs. Estimates of fair value for securitized debt obligations, the Term Loans, and the Senior Secured

notes are measured using observable, quoted market prices, in inactive markets, or Level 2 inputs. All other fair value

significant estimates are measured using unobservable inputs, or Level 3 inputs. See Note 2 for further discussion regarding

fair value measurement of certain of our assets and liabilities.

20. VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES

We have financed a portion of our loans through the CLOs, all of which are VIEs. We are the primary beneficiary of, and

therefore consolidate, the CLOs on our balance sheet as we (i) control the relevant interests of the CLOs that give us power

to direct the activities that most significantly affect the CLOs, and (ii) have the right to receive benefits and obligation to

absorb losses of the CLOs through the subordinate interests we own.

During 2024, we modified two loans that included, among other changes, an equity interest in and/or control over decision-

making at the property. As a result of the modification, our investments in these loans are VIEs. As of March 31, 2025, we

are the primary beneficiary of, and therefore consolidated the assets of these VIEs on our balance sheet as we (i) have the

power to direct the activities that most significantly affect the property, and (ii) have the right to receive excess sale

proceeds upon exit.

47

Blackstone Mortgage Trust, Inc.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued) (Unaudited)

The following table details the assets and liabilities of our consolidated VIEs ($ in thousands):

Assets held by these VIEs are restricted and can be used only to settle obligations of the VIEs, including the subordinate

interests owned by us. The liabilities of these VIEs are non-recourse to us and can only be satisfied from the assets of the

VIEs. The consolidation of these VIEs results in an increase in our gross assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, however

it does not affect our stockholders’ equity or net income. We are not obligated to provide, have not provided, and do not

intend to provide material financial support to these consolidated VIEs.

21. TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PARTIES

Our Manager

We are managed by our Manager pursuant to the Management Agreement. The current term of the Management

Agreement expires on December 19, 2025, and will be automatically renewed for a one-year term upon such date and each

anniversary thereafter unless earlier terminated.

As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, our consolidated balance sheet included $17.2 million and $18.5 million,

respectively, of accrued management fees payable to our Manager. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, we

paid our Manager management fees of $18.5 million, compared to $26.3 million of aggregate management and incentive

fees during the same period of 2024. In addition, during the three months ended March 31, 2025, we incurred expenses of

$264,000 that were paid by our Manager and have been or will be reimbursed by us compared to $221,000 of such

expenses during the same period of 2024.

As of March 31, 2025, our Manager held 1,211,048 shares of unvested restricted class A common stock, which had an

aggregate grant date fair value of $25.4 million. These shares vest in installments over three years from the date of

issuance. During the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, we recorded non-cash expenses related to shares held

by our Manager of $3.6 million and $4.3 million, respectively. Refer to Note 18 for further details on our restricted class A

common stock.

As of March 31, 2025, our Manager, its affiliates (including Blackstone), Blackstone employees, and our directors held an

aggregate 13,593,458 shares, or 7.9%, of our class A common stock, of which 8,234,581 shares, or 4.8%, were held by

Blackstone and its subsidiaries. Additionally, our directors held 310,108 of deferred stock units as of March 31, 2025.

Certain of the parties listed above have in the past purchased or sold shares of our class A common stock in open market

transactions, and such parties may in the future purchase or sell additional shares of our class A common stock. Any such

transactions would be made in the sole discretion of the relevant party based on market conditions and other considerations

relevant to such parties.

Affiliate Services

We have engaged certain portfolio companies owned by Blackstone-advised investment vehicles, to provide management,

operational and corporate support services. The following table details the costs incurred (refunded) for these services ($ in

thousands):

(1) As applicable, provides management, operational, and corporate support services to certain of our investments

directly.

(2) As applicable, provides management, operational, and corporate support services to certain of our REO assets

directly.

49

Blackstone Mortgage Trust, Inc.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued) (Unaudited)

We have engaged affiliates of our Manager to provide various services noted below. The following table details the costs

incurred for these services ($ in thousands):

(1) Affiliates of our Manager own an interest in the controlling entity of BTIG, LLC, or BTIG. BTIG has been engaged

as a broker for repurchases of our Senior Secured Notes and Convertible Notes. During the three months ended

March 31, 2025, there was no repurchase activity. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, we repurchased

$26.2 million of our October 2021 senior secured notes utilizing BTIG as a broker. Additionally, we have engaged

BTIG as a sales agent to sell shares of our class A common stock under one of our ATM Agreements. During the

three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, we did not sell any shares under our ATM Agreements. Our

engagements of BTIG are on terms equivalent to those of third parties under similar arrangements.

(2) In the first quarter of 2024, in order to provide insurance for our REO assets, we became a member of Gryphon

Mutual Property Americas IC, or Gryphon, a captive insurance company owned by us and other Blackstone-advised

investment vehicles. A Blackstone affiliate provides oversight and advisory services to Gryphon and receives fees

based on a percentage of premiums paid for such policies. The fees and expenses of Gryphon, including insurance

premiums and fees paid to its manager, are paid annually and borne by us and the other Blackstone-advised

investment vehicles that are members of Gryphon pro rata based on insurance premiums paid for each party’s

respective properties. During the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, we paid $248,000 and $109,000,

respectively, to Gryphon for insurance costs, inclusive of premiums, capital surplus contributions, taxes, and our pro

rata share of other expenses. Of these amounts, $29,000 and $2,000, respectively, was attributable to the fee paid to

a Blackstone affiliate to provide oversight and management services to Gryphon. The amounts included in the table

above reflect the amortization of the insurance expense over the relevant period of the respective policies.

CT Investment Management Co., LLC, or CTIMCO, serves as the special servicer of all of our CLOs, and the Manager

serves as the collateral manager and benchmark agent for our FL5 CLO issued in the first quarter of 2025. As of March 31,

2025, two of our assets were in special servicing under the CLOs. CTIMCO and our Manager have waived any fees that

would be payable to a third party serving in such roles pursuant to the applicable agreements, and no such fees have been

paid or will become payable to CTIMCO or our Manager.

Other Transactions

In the first quarter of 2025, we invested $439.1 million in one senior loan and $60.0 million in one mezzanine loan to

unaffiliated third parties in which Blackstone-advised investment vehicles also invested at the same level of the capital

structure on a pari passu basis.

In the first quarter of 2025, as part of a broad syndication led by third-party banks, Blackstone-advised investment vehicles

acquired an aggregate $75.0 million of notes in our $1.0 billion FL5 CLO offering. All of these transactions were on terms

equivalent to those of unaffiliated parties.

In the fourth quarter of 2024, we entered into our Net Lease Joint Venture with a Blackstone-advised investment vehicle to

invest in triple net lease properties. As of March 31, 2025, the aggregate value of our equity investment in the Net Lease

Joint Venture was $29.0 million and our ownership interest was 75%. As part of these arrangements, we, our Net Lease

Joint Venture and the Blackstone-advised investment vehicle, together, have engaged and may in the future engage in

certain financing, derivative and/or hedging arrangements.

In the fourth quarter of 2024, pursuant to our Agency Multifamily Lending Partnership, we referred three loans to MTRCC

for origination, where the borrower was a Blackstone-advised investment vehicle. The loan terms and pricing were on

market terms negotiated by MTRCC. Pursuant to our Agency Multifamily Lending Partnership, we received $217,000 of

origination, servicing, and other fees for referring these loans during the fourth quarter of 2024.

50

Blackstone Mortgage Trust, Inc.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued) (Unaudited)

In the fourth quarter of 2024, as part of broad syndications led by third-party banks, Blackstone-advised investment

vehicles acquired (i) an aggregate $62.5 million participation in our $650.0 million B-5 Term Loan, and (ii) an aggregate

$80.0 million of our $450.0 million December 2024 senior secured notes. All of these transactions were on terms

equivalent to those of unaffiliated parties. Blackstone Securities Partners L.P., or BSP, an affiliate of our Manager, was

engaged as a member of the syndicate for both transactions. Our engagements of BSP are on terms equivalent to those of

unaffiliated parties.

In the fourth quarter of 2024, in connection with the modification of one of our senior loans, a Blackstone-advised

investment vehicle purchased a pari passu participation in the loan from a third party at a discount to par.

In the fourth quarter of 2024, the senior lenders negotiated a discounted payoff of a senior loan in which we held an

interest. As part of the discounted payoff, a Blackstone-advised investment vehicle’s mezzanine loan, which had been part

of the total financing, received a small repayment.

In the third quarter of 2024, we acquired $94.4 million of a total $560.0 million senior loan to an unaffiliated third party.

One Blackstone-advised investment vehicle holds a portion of the senior loan and another holds a mezzanine loan. We will

forgo all non-economic rights under our loan, including voting rights, so long as any Blackstone-advised investment

vehicle controls the mezzanine loan. The intercreditor agreement between the senior loan lender and the mezzanine lender

was negotiated on market terms by a third party without our involvement, and our 17% interest in the senior loan was made

on such market terms.

In 2019 and 2021, we acquired an aggregate participation of €350.0 million in a senior loan to a borrower that is partially

owned by a Blackstone-advised investment vehicle. We forgo all non-economic rights under the loan, including voting

rights, so long as the Blackstone-advised investment vehicle controls the borrower. The loan was negotiated by third parties

on market terms without our involvement, and our interest in the senior loan was subject to such market terms. In the third

quarter of 2024, the borrower completed a refinancing transaction involving new lenders and the existing lenders. We

elected to sell €232.0 million of our then remaining €347.0 million loan position to the new lenders at par and extend the

remainder on modified terms. The terms of the modification (which included, among other changes, an extension of the

maturity date, and increase in the interest rate, and additional guarantees) were negotiated by our third-party co-lender.

In the fourth quarter of 2018, we originated £148.7 million of a total £303.5 million senior loan to a borrower that is wholly

owned by a Blackstone-advised investment vehicle. The loan terms were negotiated by our third-party co-lender, and we

will forgo all non-economic rights under the loan, including voting rights, so long as a Blackstone-advised investment

vehicle controls the borrower. In the third quarter of 2024, we agreed to a refinancing transaction pursuant to which

£46.4 million of our £148.7 million participation in an existing £303.5 million loan to a borrower that is wholly owned by a

Blackstone-advised investment vehicle was repaid, and we received a £100.0 million participation in a new loan made to

the same borrower that continues to be controlled by a Blackstone-advised investment vehicle, and the terms of the loan

were modified to include, among other changes, an expanded collateral pool, an extension of the maturity date and an

increase in the interest rate. The transaction, including the terms of the modification, was negotiated by our third-party co-

lender.

In the second quarter of 2024, a Blackstone-advised investment vehicle acquired a portfolio of assets from an unaffiliated

third-party borrower. The proceeds of this transaction repaid a £46.5 million performing junior loan owned by us, and a

£186.0 million performing senior loan owned by an unaffiliated third-party, both of which were included in our

consolidated balance sheets, with the senior loan also recorded as a loan participation sold liability. The transaction was

initiated by the third-party borrower with the sale pricing on market terms and the repayment completed in accordance with

the loan agreements between the lenders and the unaffiliated third-party borrower.

In the first quarter of 2024, a Blackstone-advised investment vehicle originated a loan to one of our unaffiliated third-party

borrowers, the proceeds of which repaid a $98.6 million performing senior loan owned by us. The transaction was initiated

by the third-party borrower with the loan terms and pricing on market terms.

22. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Unfunded Commitments Under Loans Receivable

As of March 31, 2025, we had aggregate unfunded commitments of $1.0 billion across 57 loans receivable, and

$520.2 million of committed or identified financings for those commitments, resulting in net unfunded commitments of

$513.0 million. The unfunded loan commitments comprise funding for capital expenditures and construction, leasing costs,

51

Blackstone Mortgage Trust, Inc.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued) (Unaudited)

and interest and carry costs. Loan funding commitments are generally subject to certain conditions, including, without

limitation, the progress of capital projects, leasing, and cash flows at the properties securing our loans. Therefore, the exact

timing and amounts of such future loan fundings are uncertain and will depend on the current and future performance of

the underlying collateral assets. We expect to fund our loan commitments over the remaining term of the related loans,

which have a weighted-average future funding period of 2.3 years.

Principal Debt Repayments

Our contractual principal debt repayments as of March 31, 2025 were as follows ($ in thousands):

(1) Our secured debt and asset-specific debt agreements are generally term-matched to their underlying collateral.

Therefore, the allocation of payments under such agreements is generally allocated based on the maximum maturity

date of the collateral loans, assuming all extension options are exercised by the borrower. In limited instances, the

maturity date of the respective debt agreement is used.

(2) The Term Loans are partially amortizing, with an amount equal to 1.0% per annum of the initial principal balance

due in quarterly installments. Refer to Note 11 for further details on our Term Loans.

(3) Reflects the outstanding principal balance of Convertible Notes, excluding any potential conversion premium. Refer

to Note 13 for further details on our Convertible Notes.

(4) Total does not include $2.6 billion of consolidated securitized debt obligations, $845.8 million of non-consolidated

senior interests, and $101.7 million of loan participations sold, as the satisfaction of these liabilities will not require

cash outlays from us.

Board of Directors’ Compensation

As of March 31, 2025, of the eight members of our board of directors, our six non-employee directors are entitled to annual

compensation of $210,000 each, of which $95,000 is paid in cash and $115,000 is paid in the form of deferred stock units

or, at their election, shares of restricted common stock. As of March 31, 2025, the other two board members, the

chairperson of the board and our chief executive officer, are not compensated by us for their service as directors. In

addition, (i) the lead independent director receives additional annual cash compensation of $30,000, (ii) the chairs of our

audit, compensation, and corporate governance committees receive additional annual cash compensation of $20,000,

$15,000, and $10,000, respectively, and (ii) the members of our audit and investment risk management committees receive

additional annual cash compensation of $10,000 and $7,500, respectively.

Litigation

From time to time, we may be involved in various claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. As of

March 31, 2025, we were not involved in any material legal proceedings.

23. SEGMENT REPORTING

Operating segments are defined as components of a business that can earn revenues and incur expenses for which discrete

financial information is available that is evaluated on a regular basis by the chief operating decision maker, or CODM. Our

CODM is, collectively, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, who decide how to allocate resources and

assess performance. A single management team reports to the CODM, who manages the entire business.

52

Blackstone Mortgage Trust, Inc.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued) (Unaudited)

We have determined that we have one reportable segment based on how the CODM reviews and manages the business,

which originates and acquires commercial mortgage loans and related investments.

Our CODM reviews, among other things, consolidated net income (loss) that is reported on the Consolidated Statements of

Operations to make decisions, allocate resources and assess performance and does not evaluate the net income (loss) from

any separate geography or product line. The measure of segment assets is reported on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as

total consolidated assets.

Introduction

Blackstone Mortgage Trust is a real estate finance company that originates, acquires, and manages senior loans and other

debt or credit-oriented investments collateralized by or relating to commercial real estate in North America, Europe, and

Australia. Our portfolio is composed primarily of senior loans secured by high-quality, institutional assets located in major

markets, and sponsored by experienced, well-capitalized real estate investment owners and operators. We finance our

investments in a variety of ways, including borrowing under our credit facilities, issuing collateralized loan obligations, or

CLOs, or single-asset securitizations, asset-specific financings, syndicating senior loan participations, and corporate

financing, depending on our view of the most prudent financing option available for each of our investments. We are

externally managed by BXMT Advisors L.L.C., or our Manager, a subsidiary of Blackstone Inc., or Blackstone, and are a

real estate investment trust, or REIT, traded on the New York Stock Exchange, or NYSE, under the symbol “BXMT.”

We benefit from the deep knowledge, experience and information advantages of our Manager, which is a part of

Blackstone’s real estate platform. Blackstone’s real estate group is the largest owner of commercial real estate globally

with over 12,500 commercial assets and a proven track record of successfully navigating market cycles and emerging

stronger through periods of volatility. The market-leading real estate expertise derived from the strength of the Blackstone

platform deeply informs our credit and underwriting process, and we believe gives us the tools to expertly manage the

assets in our portfolio and work with our borrowers throughout periods of economic stress and uncertainty.

We conduct our operations as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes. We generally will not be subject to U.S. federal

income taxes on our taxable income to the extent that we annually distribute all of our net taxable income to stockholders

and maintain our qualification as a REIT. We also operate our business in a manner that permits us to maintain an

exclusion from registration under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. We are organized as a holding

company and conduct our business primarily through our various subsidiaries.

Macroeconomic Environment

Recently announced tariffs in the U.S. have contributed to significant and ongoing uncertainty and volatility of debt and

equity markets. There is significant uncertainty as to the outcome of ongoing global trade negotiations, the extent of

retaliatory measures taken by other countries and the ultimate impact on the U.S. and global economies. A prolonged

period of policy-driven uncertainty and continued market volatility increases the likelihood of a slowdown in the U.S. and

global economies and could impact the ongoing recovery in the commercial real estate market, which could adversely

affect us, our borrowers, their tenants and the value of the real estate assets related to our investments.

At the same time, the announced tariffs are likely to increase construction costs and further reduce already constrained new

supply starts, including in certain sectors in which our portfolio is concentrated, such as multifamily and industrial. This

should be supportive of real estate values over time, subject to inflation continuing to subside and absent recessionary

condition.

54

I. Key Financial Measures and Indicators

As a real estate finance company, we believe the key financial measures and indicators for our business are earnings per

share, dividends declared, Distributable Earnings, Distributable Earnings prior to charge-offs, and book value per share.

For the three months ended March 31, 2025, we recorded basic net loss per share of $0.00, declared a dividend of $0.47 per

share, reported $0.17 per share of Distributable Earnings, and reported $0.42 per share of Distributable Earnings prior to

charge-offs. In addition, our book value as of March 31, 2025 was $21.42 per share, which is net of cumulative CECL

reserves of $4.39 per share.

As further described below, Distributable Earnings and Distributable Earnings prior to charge-offs are measures that are

not prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or GAAP.

Distributable Earnings and Distributable Earnings prior to charge-offs helps us to evaluate our performance excluding the

effects of certain transactions and GAAP adjustments that we believe are not necessarily indicative of our current loan

portfolio and operations. In addition, Distributable Earnings and Distributable Earnings prior to charge-offs are

performance metrics we consider when declaring our dividends.

Earnings Per Share and Dividends Declared

The following table sets forth the calculation of basic net income (loss) per share and dividends declared per share ($ in

thousands, except per share data):

(1) Represents net (loss) income attributable to Blackstone Mortgage Trust. Refer to Note 15 to our consolidated

financial statements for the calculation of diluted net (loss) income per share.

Distributable Earnings and Distributable Earnings Prior to Charge-Offs

Distributable Earnings and Distributable Earnings prior to charge-offs of CECL reserves are non-GAAP measures. We

define Distributable Earnings as GAAP net income (loss), including realized gains and losses not otherwise recognized in

current period GAAP net income (loss), and excluding (i) non-cash equity compensation expense, (ii) depreciation and

amortization, (iii) unrealized gains (losses), and (iv) certain non-cash items. Distributable Earnings may also be adjusted

from time to time to exclude one-time events pursuant to changes in GAAP and certain other non-cash charges as

determined by our Manager, subject to approval by a majority of our independent directors. Distributable Earnings mirrors

the terms of our management agreement between our Manager and us, or our Management Agreement, for purposes of

calculating our incentive fee expense. Therefore, Distributable Earnings prior to charge-offs of CECL reserves is calculated

net of the incentive fee expense that would have been recognized if such charge-offs had not occurred.

Our CECL reserves have been excluded from Distributable Earnings consistent with other unrealized gains (losses)

pursuant to our existing policy for reporting Distributable Earnings. We expect to only recognize such potential credit

losses in Distributable Earnings if and when such amounts are realized and deemed non-recoverable upon a realization

event. This is generally at the time a loan is repaid, or in the case of foreclosure, when the underlying asset is sold, but

realization and non-recoverability may also be concluded if, in our determination, it is nearly certain that all amounts due

will not be collected. The timing of any such credit loss realization in our Distributable Earnings may differ materially from

the timing of CECL reserves or charge-offs in our consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP.

The realized loss amount reflected in Distributable Earnings will equal the difference between the cash received, or

expected to be received, and the book value of the asset, and is reflective of our economic experience as it relates to the

ultimate realization of the loan.

We believe that Distributable Earnings provides meaningful information to consider in addition to our net income (loss)

and cash flow from operating activities determined in accordance with GAAP. We believe Distributable Earnings is a

useful financial metric for existing and potential future holders of our class A common stock as historically, over time,

Distributable Earnings has been a strong indicator of our dividends per share. As a REIT, we generally must distribute

55

annually at least 90% of our net taxable income, subject to certain adjustments, and therefore we believe our dividends are

one of the principal reasons stockholders may invest in our class A common stock. Refer to Note 17 to our consolidated

financial statements for further discussion of our distribution requirements as a REIT. Further, Distributable Earnings helps

us to evaluate our performance excluding the effects of certain transactions and GAAP adjustments that we believe are not

necessarily indicative of our current loan portfolio and operations, and is a performance metric we consider when declaring

our dividends.

Furthermore, we believe it is useful to present Distributable Earnings prior to charge-offs of CECL reserves to reflect our

direct operating results and help existing and potential future holders of our class A common stock assess the performance

of our business excluding such charge-offs. We utilize Distributable Earnings prior to charge-offs of CECL reserves as an

additional performance metric to consider when declaring our dividends. Distributable Earnings mirrors the terms of our

Management Agreement for purposes of calculating our incentive fee expense. Therefore, Distributable Earnings prior to

charge-offs of CECL reserves is calculated net of the incentive fee expense that would have been recognized if such

charge-offs had not occurred.

Distributable Earnings and Distributable Earnings prior to charge-offs of CECL reserves do not represent net income (loss)

or cash generated from operating activities and should not be considered as alternatives to GAAP net income (loss), or

indicators of our GAAP cash flows from operations, measures of our liquidity, or indicators of funds available for our cash

needs. In addition, our methodology for calculating Distributable Earnings and Distributable Earnings prior to charge-offs

of CECL reserves may differ from the methodologies employed by other companies to calculate the same or similar

supplemental performance measures, and accordingly, our reported Distributable Earnings and Distributable Earnings prior

to charge-offs of CECL reserves may not be comparable to similar metrics reported by other companies.

56

The following table provides a reconciliation of Distributable Earnings and Distributable Earnings prior to charge-offs of

CECL reserves to GAAP net income (loss) ($ in thousands, except per share data):

(1) Represents net (loss) income attributable to Blackstone Mortgage Trust.

(2) Represents realized losses related to loan principal amounts deemed non-recoverable.

(3) Represents realized losses on the repatriation of unhedged foreign currency. These amounts were not included in

GAAP net income (loss), but rather as a component of other comprehensive income in our consolidated financial

statements.

(4) Allocable share of adjustments related to unconsolidated entities reflects our share of (i) non-cash items such as

depreciation and amortization, (ii) unrealized gains and losses recorded by such unconsolidated entities, if any, and

(iii) related adjustments for realized gains, if any.

(5) Represents (i) the non-cash income recognized under GAAP related to our Agency Multifamily Lending

Partnership, in which we receive a portion of origination, servicing, and other fees for loans we refer to MTRCC for

origination, offset by the related loss-sharing obligation accruals and (ii) the cash received related to such income

previously recognized under GAAP. Refer to Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements for additional

information on our Agency Multifamily Lending Partnership.

(6) Represents a contingent liability related to a sale of a loan.

(7) The weighted-average shares outstanding, basic, exclude shares issuable from a potential conversion of our

Convertible Notes then outstanding. Consistent with the treatment of other unrealized adjustments to Distributable

Earnings, these potentially issuable shares are excluded until a conversion occurs. Refer to Note 15 to our

consolidated financial statements for the calculation of diluted net income per share.

II. Investment Portfolio

Loan Portfolio

During the three months ended March 31, 2025, we originated or acquired $1.6 billion of loans. Loan fundings during the

three months ended March 31, 2025 totaled $1.7 billion and loan repayments and sales totaled $1.8 billion. We generated

interest income of $332.1 million and incurred interest expense of $242.2 million during the three months ended March 31,

2025, which resulted in $89.8 million of net interest income during the three months ended March 31, 2025.

Loan Portfolio Overview

The following table details our loan origination activity ($ in thousands):

(1) Includes new loan originations and acquisitions, and additional commitments made under existing loans.

58

The following table details overall statistics for our loans receivable portfolio as of March 31, 2025 ($ in thousands):

(1) Unfunded commitments will primarily be funded to finance our borrowers’ construction or development of real

estate-related assets, capital improvements of existing assets, or lease-related expenditures. These commitments will

generally be funded over the term of each loan, subject in certain cases to an expiration date.

(2) The weighted-average cash coupon and all-in yield are expressed as a spread over the relevant floating benchmark

rates, which include SOFR, SONIA, EURIBOR, CORRA, and other indices as applicable to each investment. As of

March 31, 2025, substantially all of our loans by principal balance earned a floating rate of interest, primarily

indexed to SOFR. In addition to cash coupon, all-in yield includes the amortization of deferred origination and

extension fees, loan origination costs, and purchase discounts, as well as the accrual of exit fees. Excludes loans

accounted for under the cost-recovery and nonaccrual methods, if any.

(3) Maximum maturity assumes all extension options are exercised by the borrower, however our loans and other

investments may be repaid prior to such date. Excludes loans accounted for under the cost-recovery and nonaccrual

methods, if any. As of March 31, 2025, 17% of our loans by principal balance were subject to yield maintenance or

other prepayment restrictions and 83% were open to repayment by the borrower without penalty.

(4) Based on LTV as of the dates loans were originated or acquired by us, excluding any loans that are impaired and any

junior participations sold.

The following table details the index rate floors for our loan portfolio as of March 31, 2025 ($ in thousands):

(1) Includes Euro, British Pound Sterling, Swedish Krona, Australian Dollar, Canadian Dollar, and Swiss Franc

currencies.

(2) Includes all impaired loans.

(3) As of March 31, 2025, the weighted-average index rate floor of our floating-rate loans receivable principal balance

was 1.13%. Excluding 0.0% index rate floors and loans with no floor, the weighted-average index rate floor was

1.74%.

59

The following table details the floating benchmark rates for our loan portfolio as of March 31, 2025 (loans receivable

principal balance amounts in thousands):

(1) We use foreign currency forward contracts to protect the value or fix the amount of certain investments or cash

flows in terms of the U.S. dollar. We earn forward points on our forward contracts that reflect the interest rate

differentials between the applicable base rate for our foreign currency investments and prevailing U.S. interest rates.

These forward contracts effectively convert the foreign currency rate exposure for such investments to USD-

equivalent interest rates.

(2) In addition to cash coupon, all-in yield includes the amortization of deferred origination and extension fees, loan

origination costs, and purchase discounts, as well as the accrual of exit fees. Excludes loans accounted for under the

cost-recovery and nonaccrual methods, if any.

(3) Includes floating rate loans indexed to STIBOR, CORRA, BBSY, and SARON indices.

The charts below detail the geographic distribution and types of properties securing our loan portfolio, as of March 31,

2025:

Geographic Diversification

(Net Loan Exposure)(1)

Collateral Diversification

(Net Loan Exposure)(1)(2)

(1) Net loan exposure reflects the amount of each loan that is subject to risk of credit loss to us as of March 31, 2025,

which is our principal balance net of (i) $494.1 million of asset-specific debt, (ii) $117.1 million of cost-recovery

proceeds, (iii) our total loans receivable CECL reserve of $741.5 million, and (iv) $101.7 million of junior loan

interests that we have sold, but that remain included in our consolidated financial statements. Our asset-specific debt

and loan participations sold are structurally non-recourse and term-matched to the corresponding collateral loans.

Geographic locations that represent less than 1% of net loan exposure are excluded from the chart.

(2) Assets with multiple components are proportioned into the relevant collateral types based on the allocated value of

each collateral type.

Refer to section VI of this Item 2 for details of our loan portfolio, on a loan-by-loan basis.

Portfolio Management

As of March 31, 2025, 95% of our loans were performing with risk ratings of “1” through “4,” and the remaining 5% were

impaired with a risk rating of “5.” Of the performing loans, 99.2%, based on net loan exposure, were in compliance with

the applicable contractual terms. We believe this demonstrates the overall strength of our loan portfolio and the

commitment and financial wherewithal of our borrowers generally, which are primarily affiliated with large real estate

private equity funds and other strong, well-capitalized, and experienced sponsors.

We maintain a robust asset management relationship with our borrowers and utilize these relationships to maximize the

performance of our portfolio, including during periods of volatility. We believe that we benefit from these relationships and

from our long-standing core business model of originating senior loans collateralized by large assets in major markets with

experienced, well-capitalized institutional sponsors. While we believe the principal amounts of our loans are generally

adequately protected by underlying collateral value, there is a risk that we will not realize the entire principal value of

certain investments. As of March 31, 2025, we had an aggregate $555.4 million asset-specific CECL reserve related to 13

61

of our loans receivable, with an aggregate amortized cost basis of $1.5 billion, net of cost-recovery proceeds. This CECL

reserve was recorded based on our estimation of the fair value of each of the loan's underlying collateral as of March 31,

Our portfolio monitoring and asset management operations benefit from the deep knowledge, experience, and information

advantages derived from our position as part of Blackstone’s real estate platform. Blackstone’s real estate group is the

largest owner of commercial real estate globally with over 12,500 commercial assets and a proven track record of

successfully navigating market cycles and emerging stronger through periods of volatility. The market-leading real estate

expertise derived from the strength of the Blackstone platform deeply informs our credit and underwriting process, and

gives us the tools to expertly asset manage our portfolio and work with our borrowers throughout periods of economic

stress and uncertainty.

As discussed in Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements, we perform a quarterly review of our loan portfolio,

assesses the performance of each loan, and assigns it a risk rating between “1” and “5”, from less risk to greater risk. Our

loan portfolio had a weighted-average risk rating of 3.0 as of both March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.

The following table allocates the net book value and net loan exposure balances based on our internal risk ratings ($ in

thousands):

(1) Net loan exposure reflects the amount of each loan that is subject to risk of credit loss to us as of March 31, 2025,

which is our principal balance net of (i) $494.1 million of asset-specific debt, (ii) $117.1 million of cost-recovery

proceeds, (iii) our total loans receivable CECL reserve of $741.5 million, and (iv) $101.7 million of junior loan

interests that we have sold, but that remain included in our consolidated financial statements. Our asset-specific debt

and loan participations sold are structurally non-recourse and term-matched to the corresponding collateral loans.

Current Expected Credit Loss Reserve

The CECL reserves required by GAAP reflect our current estimate of potential credit losses related to our loans and notes

receivable included in our consolidated balance sheets. Other than a few narrow exceptions, GAAP requires that all

financial instruments subject to the CECL model have some amount of loss reserve to reflect the principle underlying the

CECL model that all loans and similar assets have some inherent risk of loss, regardless of credit quality, subordinate

capital, or other mitigating factors.

During the three months ended March 31, 2025, we recorded a net increase of $49.4 million in the CECL reserves against

our loans receivable portfolio, primarily due to a $32.9 million increase in our general CECL reserves, offset by charge-

offs of our CECL reserves of $41.8 million, bringing our total loans receivable CECL reserve to $741.5 million as of

March 31, 2025. This increase in our general CECL reserves was primarily as a result of a change in the portfolio mix, as

loan repayments were offset by new originations, as well as changes in the historical loss rate. Additionally, we recorded an

increase in our asset-specific CECL reserves, primarily as a result of one additional loan that was impaired during the three

months ended March 31, 2025, which was secured by an office asset. The office sector is generally facing reduced tenant

and capital markets demand in recent years. Impairments are each determined individually as a result of changes in the

specific credit quality factors for such loans. These factors included, among others, (i) the underlying collateral

performance, (ii) discussions with the borrower, (iii) borrower events of default, and (iv) other facts that impact the

borrower’s ability to pay the contractual amounts due under the terms of the loan. The income accrual was suspended on

the one loan that was impaired during the three months ended March 31, 2025, as the recovery of income and principal was

62

doubtful. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, we recorded $2.8 million of interest income on this loan. This

increase in the CECL reserves was partially offset by a resolution and a $41.8 million charge-off of the CECL reserve on

one previously impaired loan. The resolution was the result of an acquisition of title through a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure

transaction related to an office property located in Chicago, IL, which is now included on our consolidated balance sheet as

an REO asset.

As of March 31, 2025, we had an aggregate $555.4 million asset-specific CECL reserve related to 13 of our loans

receivable, with an aggregate amortized cost basis of $1.5 billion, net of cost-recovery proceeds. This CECL reserve was

recorded based on our estimation of the fair value of each of the loan's underlying collateral as of March 31, 2025. No

income was recorded on our impaired loans subsequent to determining that they were impaired. During the three months

ended March 31, 2025, we received an aggregate $18.9 million of cash proceeds from such loans that were applied as a

reduction to the amortized cost basis of each respective loan.

As of March 31, 2025, one of our performing loans with an amortized cost basis of $195.0 million, inclusive of a

$50.0 million junior loan participation sold, was past its current maturity date, was greater than 90 days past due on its

interest payment, and had a risk rating of “3.” This loan was not impaired as of March 31, 2025 as the estimated fair value

of the underlying collateral exceeded our basis in the loan. As of March 31, 2025, all other borrowers under performing

loans were in compliance with the applicable contractual terms of each respective loan, including any required payment of

interest. Refer to Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements for further discussion of our policies on revenue

recognition and our CECL reserves.

Real Estate Owned

As part of our portfolio management strategy to maximize economic outcomes, we may hold certain real estate owned, or

REO, investments resulting from us acquiring title to or taking control of a loan’s underlying real estate collateral. As of

March 31, 2025, we had eight REO assets with an aggregate carrying value of $640.4 million.

Multifamily Joint Venture

As of March 31, 2025, our multifamily joint venture held a $43.3 million loan, which is included in the loan disclosures

above. As of March 31, 2025, our Multifamily Joint Venture also held a $32.3 million REO asset. Refer to Note 2 to our

consolidated financial statements for additional discussion of our multifamily joint venture.

Agency Multifamily Lending Partnership

In the second quarter of 2024, we entered into our Agency Multifamily Lending Partnership that allows our borrowers to

access multifamily agency financing through MTRCC’s Fannie Mae DUS and Freddie Mac Optigo lending platforms. We

will receive a portion of origination, servicing, and other fees for loans that we refer to MTRCC for origination under both

the Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac programs. Additionally, we will share in losses with MTRCC and Fannie Mae on loans

that we refer to MTRCC for origination under the Fannie Mae program. During the three months ended March 31, 2025,

we did not refer any loans to MTRCC.

Net Lease Joint Venture

In the fourth quarter of 2024, we entered into our Net Lease Joint Venture with another Blackstone-advised investment

vehicle to invest in triple net lease properties, which is recorded on our consolidated balance sheets as an investment in

unconsolidated entities. As of March 31, 2025, our investment in unconsolidated entities totaled $29.0 million. During the

three months ended March 31, 2025 we contributed $25.6 million to the joint venture, did not receive any distributions, and

recorded an $874,000 loss from unconsolidated entities in our consolidated statements of operations.

Portfolio Financing

Our portfolio financing consists of secured debt, securitizations, and asset-specific debt. The following table details our

portfolio financing ($ in thousands):

Secured Debt

The following table details our secured credit facilities by spread over the applicable base rates as of March 31, 2025 ($ in

thousands):

(1) The spread, all-in cost, and all-in yield are expressed over the relevant floating benchmark rates, which include

SOFR, SONIA, EURIBOR, CORRA, and other indices as applicable.

(2) Represents the amount of new borrowings we closed during the three months ended March 31, 2025.

(3) In addition to spread, the cost includes the associated deferred fees and expenses related to the respective

borrowings. In addition to cash coupon, all-in yield includes the amortization of deferred origination and extension

fees, loan origination costs, and purchase discounts, as well as the accrual of exit fees. All-in yield excludes loans

accounted for under the cost-recovery and nonaccrual methods, if any, and REO assets.

applicable to recent or future borrowings.

(5) Represents the principal balance of the collateral loan assets and the book value of the collateral REO assets.

(6) Represents the difference between the weighted-average all-in yield and weighted-average all-in cost.

64

Securitizations

We have financed certain pools of our loans through collateralized loan obligations, or CLOs. The following table details

our securitized debt obligations and the underlying collateral assets that are financed by our CLOs ($ in thousands):

(1) The book value of underlying collateral assets excludes any applicable CECL reserves.

(2) In addition to cash coupon, all-in yield includes the amortization of deferred origination and extension fees, loan

origination costs, purchase discounts, and accrual of exit fees.

(3) The weighted-average all-in yield and cost are expressed as a spread over SOFR. All-in yield excludes loans

accounted for under the cost-recovery and nonaccrual methods, if any, and REO assets.

(4) Underlying Collateral Assets term represents the weighted-average final maturity of such loans, assuming all

extension options are exercised by the borrower, and excludes REO assets. Repayments of securitized debt

obligations are tied to timing of the related collateral loan asset repayments. The term of these obligations represents

the rated final distribution date of the securitizations.

(5) During the three months ended March 31, 2025, we recorded $27.6 million of interest expense related to our

securitized debt obligations.

Refer to Note 8 and Note 20 to our consolidated financial statements for additional details of our securitized debt

obligations.

65

Asset-Specific Debt

The following table details our asset-specific debt ($ in thousands):

(1) The book value of underlying collateral assets excludes any applicable CECL reserves.

(2) The weighted-average all-in yield and cost are expressed as a spread over the relevant floating benchmark rates,

which include SOFR and CORRA, as applicable. These floating rate loans and related liabilities are currency and

index-matched to the applicable benchmark rate relevant in each arrangement. In addition to cash coupon, yield/cost

includes the amortization of deferred origination fees and financing costs.

(3) The weighted-average term is determined based on the maximum maturity of the corresponding loans, assuming all

extension options are exercised by the borrower. Our non-recourse, asset-specific debt is term-matched in each case

to the corresponding collateral loans.

Corporate Financing

The following table details our outstanding corporate financing ($ in thousands):

66

The following table details our outstanding senior term loan facilities, or Term Loans, our outstanding senior secured notes,

or Senior Secured Notes, and convertible senior notes, or Convertible Notes, as of March 31, 2025 ($ in thousands):

(1) The B-4 Term Loan and the B-5 Term Loan borrowings are subject to a floor of 0.50%. The Term Loans are

indexed to one-month SOFR.

(2) Includes issue discounts, transaction expenses, and/or issuance costs, as applicable, that are amortized through

interest expense over the life of each respective financing.

(3) Represents the stated coupon rate of the notes. We have entered into an interest rate swap that effectively converts

our fixed rate exposure to a SOFR + 3.95% floating rate exposure. Refer to Note 12 to our consolidated financial

statements for additional information.

(4) The conversion price of the Convertible Notes is $36.27, which represents the price of class A common stock per

share based on a conversion rate of 27.5702. The conversion rate represents the number of shares of class A

common stock issuable per $1,000 principal amount of Convertible Notes. The cumulative dividend threshold has

not been exceeded as of March 31, 2025.

Refer to Note 2, Note 11, Note 12, and Note 13 to our consolidated financial statements for additional discussion of our

Term Loans, Senior Secured Notes, and Convertible Notes.

Floating Rate Portfolio

Generally, our business model is such that rising interest rates will increase our net income, while declining interest rates

will decrease net income. As of March 31, 2025, substantially all of our loans by principal balance earned a floating rate of

interest and were financed with liabilities that pay interest at floating rates, which resulted in an amount of net equity that is

positively correlated to rising interest rates, subject to the impact of interest rate floors on certain of our floating rate loans.

Our liabilities are generally currency and index-matched to each collateral asset, resulting in a net exposure to movements

in benchmark rates that varies by currency silo based on the relative proportion of floating rate assets and liabilities.

67

The following table details our investment portfolio’s exposure to interest rates by currency as of March 31, 2025 (amounts

in thousands):

(1) Includes Australian Dollar, Canadian Dollar, Swedish Krona, and Swiss Franc currencies.

(2) Our floating rate loans and related liabilities are currency and index-matched to the applicable benchmark rate

relevant in each arrangement.

(3) Excludes $1.5 billion of floating rate impaired loans.

(4) Excludes $101.7 million of loan participations sold, as of March 31, 2025. Our loan participations sold are

structurally non-recourse and term-matched to the corresponding loans, and have no impact on our net floating rate

exposure.

(5) Our loan agreements generally require our borrowers to purchase interest rate caps, which mitigates our borrowers’

exposure to an increase in interest rates.

(6) Includes amounts outstanding under secured debt, securitizations, and asset-specific debt.

(7) Includes amounts outstanding under Term Loans and the senior secured notes due 2029. In connection with the

issuance of the senior secured notes due 2029, we entered into an interest rate swap with a notional amount of

$450.0 million to effectively convert our fixed rate exposure to floating rate exposure for such notes.

(8) Represents the U.S. dollar equivalent as of March 31, 2025.

In addition to the risks related to fluctuations in cash flows and asset values associated with movements in interest rates,

there is also the risk of non-performance on floating rate assets. In the case of a significant increase in interest rates, the

cash flows of the collateral real estate assets may not be sufficient to pay debt service due under our loans, which may

contribute to non-performance or, in severe cases, default. This risk is partially mitigated by our consideration of rising rate

stress-testing during our underwriting process, which generally includes a requirement for our borrower to purchase an

interest rate cap contract with an unaffiliated third party, provide an interest reserve deposit, and/or provide interest

guarantees or other structural protections. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, interest rate caps on $2.6 billion

of performing loans, with a 3.7% weighted-average strike price, expired and 100% were replaced with new interest rate

caps, with a weighted-average strike price of 3.8%, or interest guarantees

68

III. Our Results of Operations

Operating Results

The following table sets forth information regarding our consolidated results of operations for the three months ended

March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 ($ in thousands, except per share data):

Income from loans and other investments, net

Income from loans and other investments, net decreased $11.7 million during the three months ended March 31, 2025

compared to the three months ended December 31, 2024. The decrease was primarily due to (i) a decrease in the weighted-

average principal balance of our loan portfolio by $2.2 billion during the three months ended March 31, 2025, and (ii) a

decrease in average floating rate indices quarter-over-quarter. This was partially offset by a decrease in the weighted-

average principal balance of our outstanding financing arrangements by $1.5 billion for the three months ended March 31,

2025 compared to the three months ended December 31, 2024.

Revenue from real estate owned

Revenue from REO increased by $25.2 million during the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to the three

months ended December 31, 2024. The increase was primarily due to the acquisition of four additional REO assets during

the three months ended December 31, 2024, with the three months ended March 31, 2025 reflecting the first full quarter of

activity for these assets, as well as one additional REO asset acquired during the three months ended March 31, 2025.

69

Other income

Other income relates to origination, servicing, and other fees recognized in connection with our Agency Multifamily

Lending Partnership. Other income decreased by $974,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to the

three months ended December 31, 2024, as a result of the referral of four loans pursuant to the Agency Multifamily

Lending Partnership during the three months ended December 31, 2024 that were originated and sold by MTRCC, with no

corresponding loan referrals during the three months ended March 31, 2025.

Expenses

Expenses include management and incentive fees payable to our Manager, general and administrative expenses, expenses

from real estate owned, and other expenses. Expenses increased by $20.5 million during the three months ended March 31,

2025 compared to the three months ended December 31, 2024 primarily due to a $27.9 million increase in expenses from

real estate owned as a result of the acquisition of four additional REO assets during the three months ended December 31,

2024, with the three months ended March 31, 2025 representing the first full quarter of activity for these assets, as well as

the acquisition of one additional REO asset during the three months ended March 31, 2025. This was partially offset by (i)

a $5.7 million decrease in other expenses, which represents a contingent liability related to the sale of a loan that was

recorded during the three months ended December 31, 2024, and (ii) a $1.3 million decrease in management fees due to a

decrease in Distributable Earnings.

Changes in current expected credit loss reserve

During the three months ended March 31, 2025, we recorded a $49.5 million increase in our CECL reserves, as compared

to a $19.1 million increase during the three months ended December 31, 2024. The increase during the three months ended

March 31, 2025 is primarily due to: (i) an increase in our general CECL reserves as a result of a change in the portfolio

mix, as loan repayments were offset by new originations, as well as changes in the historical loss rate, and (ii) one

additional loan that was impaired during the three months ended March 31, 2025, which was secured by an office asset.

The office sector is generally facing reduced tenant and capital markets demand in recent years. These impairments are

each determined individually as a result of changes in the specific credit quality factors for such loans. These factors

included, among others, (i) the underlying collateral performance, (ii) discussions with the borrower, (iii) borrower events

of default, and (iv) other facts that impact the borrower’s ability to pay the contractual amounts due under the terms of the

loan. These increases were partially offset by a reversal of the asset-specific CECL reserve as a result of the resolution of

one impaired loan above our carrying value, as well as a net decrease in asset-specific CECL reserves on existing impaired

loans.

We may be required to record further increases to our CECL reserves in the future, depending on the performance of our

portfolio and broader market conditions, and there may be volatility in the level of our CECL reserves. In particular, our

loans secured by office buildings have experienced higher levels of CECL reserves and may continue to do so if market

conditions relevant to office buildings do not improve. Any such reserve increases are difficult to predict, but are expected

to be primarily the result of incremental loan impairments resulting from changes in the specific credit quality factors of

such loans and to be concentrated in our loans receivable with a risk rating of “4” as of March 31, 2025.

Loss from unconsolidated entities

During the three months ended March 31, 2025, we recorded an $874,000 loss from unconsolidated entities compared to a

$2.7 million loss during the three months ended December 31, 2024. This decrease was primarily due to start-up costs

incurred during the during the three months ended December 31, 2024, as well as income generated from new investments

during the three months ended March 31, 2025.

Income tax provision

The income tax provision increased by $1.2 million during the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to the three

months ended December 31, 2024 primarily due to a tax refund received in the prior period.

Dividends per share

During the three months ended March 31, 2025, we declared dividends of $0.47 per share, or $80.6 million in aggregate.

During the three months ended December 31, 2024, we declared dividends of $0.47 per share, or $81.2 million in

aggregate.

70

The following table sets forth information regarding our consolidated results of operations for the three months ended

March 31, 2025 and 2024 ($ in thousands, except per share data):

Income from loans and other investments, net

Income from loans and other investments, net decreased $52.6 million during the three months ended March 31, 2025

compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024. The decrease was primarily due to (i) a decrease in the weighted-

average principal balance of our loan portfolio by $5.4 billion during the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to

the three months ended March 31, 2024, (ii) a decline in interest income related to additional loans accounted for under the

cost-recovery method during the three months ended March 31, 2025, and (iii) a decrease in average floating rate indices

during the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024. This was offset by a

decrease in the weighted-average principal balance of our outstanding financing arrangements by $3.9 billion during the

three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024.

Revenue from real estate owned

Revenue from REO increased by $37.0 million during the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to the three

months ended March 31, 2024 due to the acquisition of seven additional REO assets.

Gain on extinguishment of debt

Gain on extinguishment of debt decreased by $3.0 million during the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to the

three months ended March 31, 2024. There was no debt repurchase activity during the three months ended March 31, 2025.

During the three months ended March 31, 2024 we recognized a gain on extinguishment of debt of $3.0 million related to

71

the repurchase of an aggregate principal amount of $26.2 million of our senior secured notes due 2027 at a weighted-

average price of 88%.

Expenses

Expenses include management and incentive fees payable to our Manager, general and administrative expenses, expenses

from real estate owned, and other expenses. Expenses increased by $43.5 million during the three months ended March 31,

2025 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024, primarily due to $46.3 million of expenses from real estate

owned, which relates to REO operating expenses and amortization and depreciation of REO assets. The increase was due to

the acquisition of seven additional REO assets. We did not incur any expenses from REO during the three months ended

March 31, 2024. This was partially offset by a $1.7 million decrease in management fees payable to our Manager, driven

primarily by lower Distributable Earnings, as well as a $1.1 million decrease in general and administrative expenses

primarily due to a $1.1 million decrease in non-cash restricted stock amortization related to shares awarded under our long-

term incentive plans.

Changes in current expected credit loss reserve

During the three months ended March 31, 2025, we recorded a $49.5 million increase in our CECL reserves, as compared

to a $234.9 million increase during the three months ended March 31, 2024. The increase during the three months ended

March 31, 2025 is primarily due to: (i) an increase in our general CECL reserves as a result of a change in the portfolio

mix, as loan repayments were offset by new originations, as well as changes in the historical loss rate, and (ii) one

additional loan that was impaired during the three months ended March 31, 2025, which was secured by an office asset.

The office sector is generally facing reduced tenant and capital markets demand in recent years. These impairments are

each determined individually as a result of changes in the specific credit quality factors for such loans. These factors

included, among others, (i) the underlying collateral performance, (ii) discussions with the borrower, (iii) borrower events

of default, and (iv) other facts that impact the borrower’s ability to pay the contractual amounts due under the terms of the

loan. These increases were partially offset by a reversal of the asset-specific CECL reserve as a result of the resolution of

one impaired loan above our carrying value, as well as a net decrease in asset-specific CECL reserves on existing impaired

loans.

We may be required to record further increases to our CECL reserves in the future, depending on the performance of our

portfolio and broader market conditions, and there may be volatility in the level of our CECL reserves. In particular, our

loans secured by office buildings have experienced higher levels of CECL reserves and may continue to do so if market

conditions relevant to office buildings do not improve. Any such reserve increases are difficult to predict, but are expected

to be primarily the result of incremental loan impairments resulting from changes in the specific credit quality factors of

such loans and to be concentrated in our loans receivable with a risk rating of “4” as of March 31, 2025.

Loss from unconsolidated entities

Loss from unconsolidated entities of $874,000 represents our share of the loss incurred by our Net Lease Joint Venture.

There was no income or loss from unconsolidated entities during the three months ended March 31, 2024.

Income tax provision

The income tax provision decreased by $284,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2025 as compared to the three

months ended March 31, 2024, due to a decrease in the income tax provisions related to our taxable REIT subsidiaries.

Dividends per share

During the three months ended March 31, 2025, we declared dividends of $0.47 per share, or $80.6 million in aggregate.

During the three months ended March 31, 2024, we declared dividends of $0.62 per share, or $107.7 million in aggregate.

IV. Liquidity and Capital Resources

Capitalization

We have capitalized our business to date primarily through the issuance and sale of shares of our class A common stock,

corporate debt, and asset-level financings. As of March 31, 2025, our capitalization structure included $3.7 billion of

common equity, $2.8 billion of corporate debt, and $13.1 billion of asset-level financings. Our $2.8 billion of corporate

72

debt includes $1.8 billion of Term Loan borrowings, $785.3 million of Senior Secured Notes, and $266.2 million of

Convertible Notes. Our $13.1 billion of asset-level financings includes $10.0 billion of secured debt, $2.6 billion of

securitizations, and $494.1 million of asset-specific debt, all of which are structured to produce term, currency, and index

matched funding with no margin call provisions based upon capital markets events.

As of March 31, 2025, we had $1.6 billion of liquidity that can be used to satisfy our short-term cash requirements and as

working capital for our business.

See Notes 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, and 13 to our consolidated financial statements for additional details regarding our secured

debt, securitized debt obligations, asset-specific debt, loan participations sold, Term Loans, Senior Secured Notes, and

Convertible Notes, respectively.

Debt-to-Equity Ratio and Total Leverage Ratio

The following table presents our debt-to-equity ratio and total leverage ratio:

(1) The debt and leverage amounts included in the calculations above use gross outstanding principal balances,

excluding any unamortized deferred financing costs and discounts.

(2) Represents, in each case at period end, (i) total outstanding secured debt, asset-specific debt, Term Loans, Senior

Secured Notes, and convertible notes, less cash, to (ii) total equity.

(3) Represents, in each case at period end, (i) total outstanding secured debt, asset-specific debt, Term Loans, Senior

Secured Notes, and convertible notes, less cash, to (ii) Adjusted Equity. Adjusted Equity is a non-GAAP financial

measure. Refer to “Adjusted Debt-to-Equity Ratio and Adjusted Total Leverage Ratio” below for the definition of

Adjusted Equity and a reconciliation to total equity.

(4) Represents, in each case at period end, (i) total outstanding secured debt, securitizations, asset-specific debt, Term

Loans, Senior Secured Notes, and convertible notes, less cash, to (ii) total equity.

(5) Represents, in each case at period end, (i) total outstanding secured debt, securitizations, asset-specific debt, Term

Loans, Senior Secured Notes, and convertible notes, less cash, to (ii) Adjusted Equity. Adjusted Equity is a non-

GAAP financial measure. Refer to “Adjusted Debt-to-Equity Ratio and Adjusted Total Leverage Ratio” below for

the definition of Adjusted Equity and a reconciliation to total equity.

Adjusted Debt-to-Equity Ratio and Adjusted Total Leverage Ratio

Our adjusted debt-to-equity and total leverage ratios are measures that are not prepared in accordance with GAAP, as they

are calculated using Adjusted Equity, which we define as our total equity, excluding the aggregate CECL reserves on our

loans receivable and unfunded loan commitments.

We believe that Adjusted Equity provides meaningful information to consider in addition to our total equity determined in

accordance with GAAP in the context of assessing our debt-to-equity and total leverage ratios. The adjusted debt-to-equity

and total leverage ratios are metrics we use, in addition to our unadjusted debt-to-equity and total leverage ratios, when

evaluating our capitalization structure, as Adjusted Equity excludes the unrealized impact of our CECL reserves, which

may vary from quarter-to-quarter as our loan portfolio changes and market and economic conditions evolve. We believe

these ratios, and therefore our Adjusted Equity, are useful financial metrics for existing and potential future holders of our

class A common stock to consider when evaluating how our business is capitalized and the relative amount of leverage in

our business.

73

Adjusted Equity does not represent our total equity and should not be considered as an alternate to GAAP total equity. In

addition, our methodology for calculating Adjusted Equity may differ from methodologies employed by other companies

to calculate the same or similar supplemental measures, and accordingly, our reported Adjusted Equity may not be

comparable to the Adjusted Equity reported by other companies.

The following table provides a reconciliation of Adjusted Equity to our GAAP total equity ($ in thousands):

Sources of Liquidity

Our primary sources of liquidity include cash and cash equivalents, available borrowings under our secured debt facilities,

and net receivables from servicers related to loan repayments, which are set forth in the following table ($ in thousands):

(1) Represents loan principal payments held by our third-party servicer as of the balance sheet date which were remitted

to us during the subsequent remittance cycle, net of the related secured debt balance.

During the three months ended March 31, 2025, we generated cash flow from operating activities of $100.5 million and

received $1.8 billion from loan principal collections, sales proceeds, and cost-recovery proceeds. Furthermore, we are able

to generate incremental liquidity through the replenishment provisions of certain of our CLOs, which allow us to replace a

repaid loan in the CLO by increasing the principal amount of existing CLO collateral assets to maintain the aggregate

amount of collateral assets in the CLO, and the related financing outstanding.

We have access to further liquidity through public and private offerings of equity and debt securities, syndicated term

loans, and similar transactions. To facilitate public offerings, in July 2022, we filed a shelf registration statement with the

SEC that is effective for a term of three years and expires in July 2025. The amount of securities to be issued pursuant to

this shelf registration statement was not specified when it was filed and there is no specific dollar limit on the amount of

securities we may issue. The securities covered by this registration statement include: (i) class A common stock; (ii)

preferred stock; (iii) depositary shares representing preferred stock; (iv) debt securities; (v) warrants; (vi) subscription

rights; (vii) purchase contracts; and (viii) units consisting of one or more of such securities or any combination of these

securities. The specifics of any future offerings, along with the use of proceeds of any securities offered, will be described

in detail in a prospectus supplement, or other offering materials, at the time of any offering.

We may also access liquidity through our dividend reinvestment plan and direct stock purchase plan, under which

9,968,032 shares of class A common stock were available for issuance as of March 31, 2025, and our at the market stock

offering program, pursuant to which we may sell, from time to time, up to $480.9 million of additional shares of our class

A common stock as of March 31, 2025. Refer to Note 15 to our consolidated financial statements for additional details.

Uses of Liquidity

In addition to funding our lending and other investment activity and our general operating expenses, our primary uses of

liquidity include interest and principal payments with respect to our $10.0 billion of outstanding borrowings under secured

debt, our asset-specific debt, our Term Loans, our Senior Secured Notes, and our Convertible Notes.

In July 2024, our board of directors authorized the repurchase of up to $150.0 million of our class A common stock. Under

the repurchase program, repurchases may be made from time to time in open market transactions, in privately negotiated

transactions, in agreements and arrangements structured in a manner consistent with Rules 10b-18 and 10b5-1 under the

74

Exchange Act or otherwise. The timing and the actual amounts repurchased will depend on a variety of factors, including

legal requirements, price and economic and market conditions. The repurchase program may be changed, suspended or

discontinued at any time and does not have a specified expiration date.

During the three months ended March 31, 2025, we repurchased 1,792,836 shares of class A common stock at a weighted-

average price per share of $17.63, for a total cost of $31.6 million. As of March 31, 2025, the amount remaining available

for repurchases under the program was $89.2 million.

From time to time we have repurchased and may continue to repurchase our outstanding debt or shares of our class A

common stock. Such repurchases, if any, will depend on prevailing market conditions, our liquidity requirements,

contractual restrictions, and other factors. The amounts involved in any such purchase transactions, individually or in the

aggregate, may be material.

As of March 31, 2025, we had unfunded commitments of $1.0 billion related to 57 loans receivable and $520.2 million of

committed or identified financing for those commitments resulting in net unfunded commitments of $513.0 million. The

unfunded loan commitments comprise funding for capital expenditures and construction, leasing costs, and interest and

carry costs. Loan funding commitments are generally subject to certain conditions, including, without limitation, the

progress of capital projects, leasing, and cash flows at the properties securing our loans. Therefore, the exact timing and

amounts of such future loan fundings are uncertain and will depend on the current and future performance of the

underlying collateral assets. We expect to fund our loan commitments over the remaining term of the related loans, which

have a weighted-average future funding period of 2.3 years.

75

Contractual Obligations and Commitments

Our contractual obligations and commitments as of March 31, 2025 were as follows ($ in thousands):

(1) Represents known and estimated short-term cash requirements related to our contractual obligations and

commitments. Refer to “Sources of Liquidity” above for information about our sources of funds to satisfy our short-

term cash requirements.

(2) The allocation of our unfunded loan commitments is based on the earlier of the commitment expiration date or the

final loan maturity date, however we may be obligated to fund these commitments earlier than such date.

(3) Our secured debt and asset-specific debt agreements are generally term-matched to their underlying collateral.

Therefore, the allocation of both principal and interest payments under such agreements is generally allocated based

on the maximum maturity date of the collateral loans, assuming all extension options are exercised by the borrower.

In limited instances, the maturity date of the respective debt agreement is used.

(4) The Term Loans are partially amortizing, with an amount equal to 1.0% per annum of the initial principal balance

due in quarterly installments. Refer to Note 11 to our consolidated financial statements for further details on our

Term Loans.

(5) Reflects the outstanding principal balance of Convertible Notes, excluding any potential conversion premium. Refer

to Note 13 to our consolidated financial statements for further details on our Convertible Notes.

(6) Represents interest payments on our secured debt, asset-specific debt, Term Loans, Senior Secured Notes, and

convertible notes. Future interest payment obligations are estimated assuming the interest rates in effect as of

March 31, 2025 will remain constant into the future. This is only an estimate as actual amounts borrowed and

interest rates will vary over time.

(7) Total does not include $2.6 billion of consolidated securitized debt obligations, $845.8 million of non-consolidated

senior interests, and $101.7 million of loan participations sold, as the satisfaction of these liabilities will not require

cash outlays from us.

We are also required to settle our foreign exchange and interest rate derivatives with our derivative counterparties upon

maturity which, depending on foreign currency exchange and interest rate movements, may result in cash received from or

due to such counterparties. The table above does not include these amounts as they are not fixed and determinable. Refer to

Note 14 to our consolidated financial statements for details regarding our derivative contracts.

We are required to pay our Manager a base management fee, an incentive fee, and reimbursements for certain expenses

pursuant to our Management Agreement. The table above does not include the amounts payable to our Manager under our

Management Agreement as they are not fixed and determinable. Refer to Note 16 to our consolidated financial statements

for additional terms and details of the fees payable under our Management Agreement.

As a REIT, we generally must distribute substantially all of our net taxable income to stockholders in the form of dividends

to comply with the REIT provisions of the Internal Revenue Code. Our taxable income does not necessarily equal our net

income as calculated in accordance with GAAP, or our Distributable Earnings as described above.

76

Cash Flows

The following table provides a breakdown of the net change in our cash and cash equivalents ($ in thousands):

We experienced a net increase in cash and cash equivalents of $343.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025,

compared to a net increase of $66.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024. During the three months ended

March 31, 2025, we (i) received $1.8 billion from loan principal collections and sales proceeds, (ii) received $831.3 million

of net proceeds from the issuance of a securitized debt obligation, and (iii) received a net $124.4 million under our secured

debt borrowings. Also, during the three months ended March 31, 2025, we (i) funded $1.7 billion of loans, (ii) repaid a net

$732.3 million of asset-specific financings, and (iii) paid $81.2 million of dividends on our class A common stock.

Refer to Note 3 to our consolidated financial statements for further discussion of our loan activity. Refer to Notes 7, 8, and

15 to our consolidated financial statements for additional discussion of our secured debt, securitized debt obligations, and

equity, respectively.

V. Other Items

Income Taxes

We have elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code for U.S. federal income tax purposes. We

generally must distribute annually at least 90% of our net taxable income, subject to certain adjustments and excluding any

net capital gain, in order for U.S. federal income tax not to apply to our earnings. To the extent that we satisfy this

distribution requirement, but distribute less than 100% of our net taxable income, we will be subject to U.S. federal income

tax on our undistributed taxable income. In addition, we will be subject to a 4% nondeductible excise tax if the actual

amount that we pay out to our stockholders in a calendar year is less than a minimum amount specified under U.S. federal

tax laws.

Our qualification as a REIT also depends on our ability to meet various other requirements imposed by the Internal

Revenue Code, which relate to organizational structure, diversity of stock ownership, and certain restrictions with regard to

the nature of our assets and the sources of our income. Even if we qualify as a REIT, we may be subject to certain U.S.

federal income and excise taxes and state and local taxes on our income and assets. If we fail to maintain our qualification

as a REIT for any taxable year, we may be subject to material penalties as well as federal, state, and local income tax on

our taxable income at regular corporate rates and we would not be able to qualify as a REIT for the subsequent four full

taxable years. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we were in compliance with all REIT requirements.

Furthermore, our taxable REIT subsidiaries are subject to federal, state, and local income tax on their net taxable income.

Refer to Note 17 to our consolidated financial statements for additional discussion of our income taxes.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based upon our consolidated financial

statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires our

Manager to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses,

and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from these estimates. During 2025, our

Manager reviewed and evaluated our critical accounting policies and believes them to be appropriate. The following is a

summary of our significant accounting policies that we believe are the most affected by our Manager’s judgments,

estimates, and assumptions:

77

Current Expected Credit Losses

The current expected credit loss, or CECL, reserve required under the FASB Accounting Standards Codification, or ASC,

Topic 326 “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses,” or ASC 326, reflects our current estimate of potential credit losses

related to our portfolio. We estimate our CECL reserves primarily using the Weighted-Average Remaining Maturity, or

WARM method, which has been identified as an acceptable loss-rate method for estimating CECL reserves in the Financial

Accounting Standards Board Staff Q&A Topic 326, No. 1. Estimating the CECL reserve requires judgment, including the

following assumptions:

• Historical loan loss reference data: To estimate the historic loan losses relevant to our portfolio, we have

augmented our historical loan performance with market loan loss data licensed from Trepp LLC. This database

includes commercial mortgage-backed securities, or CMBS, issued since January 1, 1999 through February 28,

2025. Within this database, we focused our historical loss reference calculations on the most relevant subset of

available CMBS data, which we determined based on loan metrics that are most comparable to our loan portfolio

including asset type, geography, and origination loan-to-value, or LTV. We believe this CMBS data, which

includes month-over-month loan and property performance, is the most relevant, available, and comparable

dataset to our portfolio.

• Expected timing and amount of future loan fundings and repayments: Expected credit losses are estimated over

the contractual term of each loan, adjusted for expected repayments. As part of our quarterly review of our loan

portfolio, we assess the expected repayment date of each loan, which is used to determine the contractual term for

purposes of computing our CECL reserves. Additionally, the expected credit losses over the contractual period of

our loans are subject to the obligation to extend credit through our unfunded loan commitments. The CECL

reserve for unfunded loan commitments is adjusted quarterly, as we consider the expected timing of future

funding obligations over the estimated life of the loan. The considerations in estimating our CECL reserve for

unfunded loan commitments are similar to those used for the related outstanding loans receivable.

• Current credit quality of our portfolio: Our risk rating is our primary credit quality indicator in assessing our

CECL reserves. We perform a quarterly risk review of our portfolio of loans and assign each loan a risk rating

based on a variety of factors, including, without limitation, origination LTV, debt yield, property type, geographic

and local market dynamics, physical condition, cash flow volatility, leasing and tenant profile, loan structure and

exit plan, and project sponsorship.

• Expectations of performance and market conditions: Our CECL reserves are adjusted to reflect our estimation of

the current and future economic conditions that impact the performance of the commercial real estate assets

securing our loans. These estimations include unemployment rates, interest rates, expectations of inflation and/or

recession, and other macroeconomic factors impacting the likelihood and magnitude of potential credit losses for

our loans during their anticipated term. In addition to the CMBS data we have licensed from Trepp LLC, we have

also licensed certain macroeconomic financial forecasts to inform our view of the potential future impact that

broader economic conditions may have on our loan portfolio’s performance. We generally also incorporate

information from other sources, including information and opinions available to our Manager, to further inform

these estimations. This process requires significant judgments about future events that, while based on the

information available to us as of the balance sheet date, are ultimately indeterminate and the actual economic

condition impacting our portfolio could vary significantly from the estimates we made as of March 31, 2025.

• Impairment: impairment is indicated when it is deemed probable that we will not be able to collect all amounts

due to us pursuant to the contractual terms of the loan. Determining that a loan is impaired requires significant

judgment from management and is based on several factors including (i) the underlying collateral performance,

(ii) discussions with the borrower, (iii) borrower events of default, and (iv) other facts that impact the borrower’s

ability to pay the contractual amounts due under the terms of the loan. If a loan is determined to be impaired, we

record the impairment as a component of our CECL reserves by applying the practical expedient for collateral

dependent loans. The CECL reserves are assessed on an individual basis for these loans by comparing the

estimated fair value of the underlying collateral, less costs to sell, to the book value of the respective loan. These

valuations require significant judgments, which include assumptions regarding capitalization rates, discount rates,

leasing, creditworthiness of major tenants, occupancy rates, availability and cost of financing, exit plan, loan

sponsorship, actions of other lenders, and other factors deemed relevant by us. Actual losses, if any, could

ultimately differ materially from these estimates. We only expect to charge-off the impairment losses in our

consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP if and when such amounts are deemed non-

recoverable. This is generally at the time a loan is repaid or foreclosed. However, non-recoverability may also be

concluded if, in our determination, it is nearly certain that all amounts due will not be collected.

These assumptions vary from quarter-to-quarter as our loan portfolio changes and market and economic conditions evolve.

The sensitivity of each assumption and its impact on the CECL reserves may change over time and from period to period.

78

During the three months ended March 31, 2025, our CECL reserves increased by $7.7 million, bringing our total reserves

to $754.2 million as of March 31, 2025. See Notes 2 and 3 to our consolidated financial statements for further discussion of

our CECL reserves.

Revenue Recognition

Interest income from our loans receivable portfolio is recognized over the life of each investment using the effective

interest method and is recorded on the accrual basis. Recognition of fees, premiums, and discounts associated with these

investments is deferred and recorded over the term of the loan as an adjustment to yield. Income accrual is generally

suspended for loans at the earlier of the date at which payments become 90 days past due or when, in our opinion, recovery

of income and principal becomes doubtful. Interest received is then recorded as income or as a reduction in the amortized

cost basis, based on the specific facts and circumstances, until accrual is resumed when the loan becomes contractually

current and performance is demonstrated to be resumed. In addition, for loans we originate, the related origination expenses

are deferred and recognized as a reduction to interest income, however expenses related to loans we acquire are included in

general and administrative expenses as incurred.

Real Estate Owned

We may assume legal title or physical possession of the collateral underlying a loan through a foreclosure, a deed-in-lieu of

foreclosure transaction, or a loan modification in which we receive an equity interest in and/or control over decision-

making at the property, resulting in us consolidating the real estate assets as VIEs. These real estate acquisitions are

classified as real estate owned, or REO, on our consolidated balance sheet and are initially recognized at fair value on the

acquisition date in accordance with the ASC Topic 805, “Business Combinations.”

Upon acquisition of REO, we assess the fair value of acquired tangible and intangible assets, which may include land,

buildings, tenant improvements, “above-market” and “below-market” leases, acquired in-place leases, other identified

intangible assets and assumed liabilities, as applicable, and allocate the fair value to the acquired assets and assumed

liabilities. We assess and consider fair value based on estimated cash flow projections that utilize discount and/or

capitalization rates that we deem appropriate, as well as other available market information. Estimates of future cash flows

are based on a number of factors including the historical operating results, known and anticipated trends, and market and

economic conditions. We capitalize acquisition-related costs associated with asset acquisitions.

Real estate assets held for investment, except for land, are depreciated using the straight-line method over the assets’

estimated useful lives of up to 40 years for buildings and 10 years for tenant improvements. Renovations and/or

replacements that improve or extend the life of the asset are capitalized and depreciated over their estimated useful lives.

Lease intangibles are amortized over the remaining term of applicable leases on a straight-line basis. The cost of ordinary

repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred.

Real estate assets held for investment are assessed for impairment on a quarterly basis. If the depreciated cost basis of the

asset exceeds the undiscounted cash flows over the remaining holding period, the asset is considered for impairment. The

impairment loss is recognized when the carrying value of the real estate assets exceed their fair value. The evaluation of

anticipated future cash flows is highly subjective and is based in part on assumptions regarding future occupancy, rental

rates, capital requirements and anticipated holding periods that could differ materially from actual results.

Real estate assets are classified as held for sale in the period when they meet the criteria under ASC Topic 360 “Property,

Plant, and Equipment.” Once a real estate asset is classified as held for sale, depreciation is suspended and the asset is

reported at the lower of its carrying value or fair value less cost to sell. If circumstances arise and we decide not to sell a

real estate asset previously classified as held for sale, the real estate asset is reclassified as held for investment. Upon

reclassification, the real estate asset is measured at the lower of (i) its carrying amount prior to classification as held for

sale, adjusted for depreciation expense that would have been recognized had the real estate been classified as held for

investment, and (ii) its estimated fair value at the time of reclassification.

As of March 31, 2025, we had eight REO assets which were all classified as held for investment.

The following table provides details of our loan portfolio, on a loan-by-loan basis, as of March 31, 2025 ($ in millions):

80

81

82

83

84

(1) Senior loans include senior mortgages and similar credit quality loans, including related contiguous subordinate loans and pari passu participations in senior mortgage

loans.

(2) Date loan was originated or acquired by us, and the LTV as of such date, excluding any loans that are impaired and any junior participations sold. Origination dates are

subsequently updated to reflect material loan modifications.

(3) Total commitment reflects outstanding principal balance as well as any related unfunded loan commitment.

(4) Net book value represents outstanding principal balance, net of purchase and sale discounts or premiums, exit fees, deferred origination expenses, and cost-recovery

proceeds.

(5) The weighted-average cash coupon and all-in yield are expressed as a spread over the relevant floating benchmark rates, which include SOFR, SONIA, EURIBOR,

CORRA, and other indices as applicable to each loan. As of March 31, 2025, substantially all of our loans by principal balance earned a floating rate of interest, primarily

indexed to SOFR. In addition to cash coupon, all-in yield includes the amortization of deferred origination and extension fees, loan origination costs, and purchase

discounts, as well as the accrual of exit fees. Excludes loans accounted for under the cost-recovery and nonaccrual methods, if any.

(6) Maximum maturity assumes all extension options are exercised, however our loans may be repaid prior to such date. Excludes loans accounted for under the cost-recovery

and nonaccrual methods, if any.

(7) The net book value of these loans includes junior loan interests that we have sold, but that remain included in our consolidated financial statements.

(8) This loan has an interest rate of SOFR minus 1.30% with a SOFR floor of 3.50%, for an all-in rate of 3.02% as of March 31, 2025.

(9) Subordinate loans include: (i) loans in which we have previously originated a whole loan and sold a senior mortgage interest to a third-party, resulting in these subordinate

interests in mortgages, (ii) mezzanine loans, and (iii) the subordinate portion of loans that have been modified that have resulted in a restructured senior loan and

subordinate loan.

(10) These subordinate loans are the result of a loan modification which resulted in a restructured senior loan and a subordinate loan. All of the subordinate loans are accounted

for under the cost-recovery method.
