REPORTS RESULTS FOR

THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2020

 

New York, NY, May 7, 2020 - Exantas Capital Corp. (NYSE: XAN) (“XAN” or the “Company”) reports results for the three months ended March 31, 2020.

Significant Items

 

GAAP net loss allocable to common shares was $(6.30) per share-diluted for the three months ended March 31, 2020.

 

Core Earnings were $(5.47) per common share-diluted and Core Earnings, adjusted were $0.23 per common share-diluted for the three months ended March 31, 2020 (see Schedule I).

 

XAN incurred a loss of $180.3 million on the disposition of its commercial mortgage-backed securities (“CMBS”) portfolio that was financed with repurchase agreements. Following the repayment of its repurchase agreements on April 20, 2020, XAN had no debt obligations or mark-to-market exposure to financed CMBS. No further losses associated with the settlements of the Company’s financed CMBS portfolio will be recognized subsequent to the quarter ended March 31, 2020.

 

XAN reduced its leverage and in exchange received written confirmation from lenders representing over 90% of the outstanding balance of its commercial real estate (“CRE”) loan warehouse financing facilities, which provided a framework to avoid credit-based markdowns for approximately four months.

 

XAN originated $208.9 million of new CRE loans during the three months ended March 31, 2020 (see Schedule III).

 

Non-recourse, non-mark-to-market collateralized loan obligation financings comprised approximately $1.1 billion, or 83%, of the approximately $1.4 billion of outstanding asset-specific borrowings at May 7, 2020.

 

XAN had unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of $36.7 million and unencumbered assets of approximately $91.5 million at May 7, 2020.

 

GAAP book value was $7.13 per common share at March 31, 2020, as compared to $14.00 per common share at December 31, 2019.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2020 Results

 

GAAP net loss allocable to common shares was $199.1 million, or $(6.30) per share-diluted, for the three months ended March 31, 2020, as compared to GAAP net income allocable to common shares of $5.5 million, or $0.18 per share-diluted, for the three months ended March 31, 2019.

 

GAAP net loss allocable to common shares for the three months ended March 31, 2020 includes:

 

$185.4 million, or $(5.86) per share-diluted, of losses on the disposition of the Company’s CMBS portfolio financed with repurchase agreements ($180.3 million) and fair value adjustments on two CMBS investments that were not financed ($5.1 million);

 

$16.1 million, or $(0.51) per share-diluted, of a non-cash provision for credit losses using the current expected credit losses (“CECL”) model required pursuant to GAAP starting on January 1, 2020; and

 

$3.8 million, or $(0.12) per share-diluted, of fair value adjustments on the Company’s remaining asset held for sale.


 

 

Core Earnings were $(172.9) million, or $(5.47) per common share-diluted, for the three months ended March 31, 2020, and Core Earnings, adjusted were $7.4 million, or $0.23 per common share-diluted, after a $180.3 million, or $(5.70) per common share-diluted, adjustment for the disposition of the Company’s CMBS portfolio and settlements of the repurchase agreements that financed this portfolio (see Schedule I).

Impact of COVID-19

In December 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus (“COVID-19”) was identified. Subsequently, COVID-19 proliferated throughout the globe, prompting its designation as a pandemic by the World Health Organization and the declaration of national emergencies by countries around the world, including the United States. As a result, the COVID-19 pandemic produced material and previously unforeseeable liquidity shocks to the real estate credit markets. In response to the turmoil in financial markets and related uncertainty, XAN has taken actions to preserve liquidity and reduce credit risk exposure on its balance sheet, including:

 

Overseeing the disposition of its CMBS portfolio and the settlement of its CMBS borrowings (see “Additional Items - Commercial Mortgage-Backed Securities”).

 

Suspending its common stock and 8.625% Fixed-to-Floating Series C Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock dividends.

 

Reducing its leverage and in exchange receiving written confirmation from lenders representing over 90% of the outstanding balance of its CRE loan warehouse financing facilities, which provides a framework to avoid credit-based markdowns for approximately four months.

As the economic effects of the COVID-19 pandemic continue to develop, XAN will continue to rigorously monitor the financial markets and its financial position in order to remain responsive and adaptable.

Subsequent Events

The following significant events occurred subsequent to March 31, 2020:

 

Settlement of $175.9 million of CMBS repurchase agreements in April 2020 utilizing cash and the proceeds from dispositions of CMBS collateral and posted cash margin.

 

Termination of the interest rate swaps on the CMBS portfolio, which had unrealized losses of $11.8 million recorded in equity at the time of termination in April 2020, of which $475,000 occurred after March 31, 2020. The losses will be amortized into earnings over the remaining lives of the underlying contracts, for over seven years.

 

All but two of XAN’s CRE loans were current on debt service due in April 2020.

 

Reduced the aggregate balance of the CRE loan warehouse financing facilities by a total of $40.2 million ($20.2 million from CRE loan payoff proceeds and $20.0 million from available cash).

 

XAN had leverage of approximately 4.5 times at May 7, 2020.

Additional Items

Commercial Real Estate

 

Substantially all of XAN’s $1.9 billion CRE loan portfolio comprised floating-rate senior whole loans at March 31, 2020.

 

83.5% of the CRE loan portfolio was collateralized by multifamily, office, self-storage, manufactured housing and industrial properties at March 31, 2020.

 

XAN’s CRE floating-rate whole loan portfolio had a weighted average spread of 3.41% over the weighted average one-month London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) floor of 1.91% at March 31, 2020.

Commercial Mortgage-Backed Securities

As previously reported, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on real estate credit markets resulted in substantial CMBS financing margin calls for XAN, certain of which were not met, which resulted in default notices with respect to certain CMBS repurchase agreements.

In April 2020, XAN completed the disposition of its CMBS portfolio, retaining only the unencumbered, below investment grade tranches of a single CMBS securitization with a fair value of $3.2 million at March 31, 2020, and settled all of its CMBS repurchase agreement financings.

 


 

Commercial Real Estate Securitizations

 

XAN closed a CRE debt securitization on March 12, 2020 that financed CRE loans of $522.6 million and issued $435.7 million of non-recourse, floating-rate notes at a weighted average cost of one-month LIBOR plus 1.30%.

Liquidity

 

At May 7, 2020, XAN’s available liquidity consisted of $36.7 million in unrestricted cash and cash equivalents and unencumbered assets of approximately $91.5 million.

RECONCILIATION OF GAAP NET INCOME (LOSS) TO CORE EARNINGS

(unaudited)

Core Earnings is a non-GAAP financial measure that XAN uses to evaluate its operating performance.

Core Earnings exclude the effects of certain transactions and GAAP adjustments that XAN believes are not indicative of its current CRE loan portfolio and other CRE-related investments and operations. Core Earnings exclude income (loss) from all non-core assets, such as commercial finance, middle market lending, residential mortgage lending, certain legacy CRE assets and other non-CRE assets designated as assets held for sale at the initial measurement date of December 31, 2016.

Core Earnings, for reporting purposes, is defined as GAAP net income (loss) allocable to common shares, excluding (i) non-cash equity compensation expense, (ii) unrealized gains and losses, (iii) non-cash provisions for credit losses, (iv) non-cash impairments on securities, (v) non-cash amortization of discounts or premiums associated with borrowings, (vi) net income or loss from a limited partnership interest owned at the initial measurement date, (vii) net income or loss from non-core assets,(1)(2) (viii) real estate depreciation and amortization, (ix) foreign currency gains or losses and (x) income or loss from discontinued operations. Core Earnings may also be adjusted periodically to exclude certain one-time events pursuant to changes in GAAP and certain non-cash items.

Although pursuant to the Third Amended and Restated Management Agreement XAN calculates incentive compensation using Core Earnings that exclude incentive compensation payable to the Manager, XAN includes incentive compensation payable to the Manager in calculating Core Earnings for reporting purposes.

Core Earnings allocable to common shares, adjusted (“Core Earnings Adjusted”) is a non-GAAP financial measure used to evaluate XAN’s operating performance. Core Earnings Adjusted exclude certain non-recurring items and the results of certain transactions that are not indicative of XAN’s ongoing operating performance.

Core Earnings and Core Earnings Adjusted do not represent net income or cash generated from operating activities and should not be considered as an alternative to GAAP net income or as measures of liquidity under GAAP. XAN’s methodology for calculating Core Earnings and Core Earnings Adjusted may differ from methodologies used by other companies to calculate similar supplemental performance measures, and, accordingly, its reported Core Earnings and Core Earnings Adjusted may not be comparable to similar performance measures used by other companies.


 

The following table provides a reconciliation from GAAP net income (loss) allocable to common shares to Core Earnings allocable to common shares and Core Earnings allocable to common shares, adjusted for the periods presented (in thousands, except per share data and the amount in the footnotes):
