APOLLO COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE FINANCE, INC.
REPORTS SECOND QUARTER 2024 RESULTS
New York, NY, August 6, 2024 Apollo Commercial Real Estate Finance, Inc. (the Company or ARI) (NYSE:ARI) today reported results for the quarter ended June 30, 2024.
Net income attributed to common stockholders per diluted share of common stock was $0.23 for the quarter ended June 30, 2024. Distributable Earnings (a non-GAAP financial measure defined below) and Distributable Earnings prior to net realized loss on investments per share of common stock were $0.35 for the quarter ended June 30, 2024.
Subsequent Events Healthcare Loan
In March 2022, ARI and other Apollo-managed entities co-originated a 55% loan-to-cost first mortgage loan secured by eight hospitals in Massachusetts. At origination, ARIs portion of the loan totaled $378.7 million. The loan was made in connection with the capitalization of a joint venture between two parties to own the hospitals. That joint venturethrough its subsidiaries, which were the mortgage borrowers under ARI and the Apollo managed entities loan then leased the properties to Steward Health Care (Steward), who served as the operator. ARI and the Apollo managed entities did not lend to Steward and do not have any involvement in Stewards operation of the hospitals or performance under the lease. The structure and covenants in the loan have provided for cash collateral and amortization since origination that represents approximately 11% of the original loan balance, and ARIs amortized cost basis was $341.9 million as of June 30, 2024. As of the date of this quarterly report, the loan remains current on all contractual interest payments.
Steward filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in May 2024. During the three months ended June 30, 2024, ARI downgraded the loans risk rating from a three to a four. Subsequent to the date of ARIs condensed consolidated financial statements but prior to the date of ARIs quarterly report, bids for the hospitals were received and the bid process and negotiations are continuing to evolve with multiple constituencies. While there still is a high degree of uncertainty, based upon the information available as of the date of this quarterly report, and taking into account Stewards bankruptcy court documents made publicly available on July 30, 2024, ARI anticipates recording a Specific CECL Allowance in a subsequent quarter, which the Company currently estimate to be approximately $90 million. The actual Specific CECL Allowance may differ materially based on continuing developments from the date of this quarterly report.
ARI issued a detailed presentation of the Companys quarter ended June 30, 2024 results, which can be viewed at www.apollocref.com.

Distributable Earnings
Distributable Earnings, a non-GAAP financial measure, is defined as net income available to common stockholders, computed in accordance with GAAP, adjusted for (i) equity-based compensation expense (a portion of which may become cash-based upon final vesting and settlement of awards should the holder elect net share settlement to satisfy income tax withholding), (ii) any unrealized gains or losses or other non-cash items (including depreciation and amortization related to real estate owned) included in net income available to common stockholders, (iii) unrealized income from unconsolidated joint ventures, (iv) foreign currency gains (losses), other than (a) realized gains/(losses) related to interest income, and (b) forward point gains/(losses) realized on the Companys foreign currency hedges, and (v) provision for loan losses.
As a REIT, U.S. federal income tax law generally requires the Company to distribute annually at least 90% of its REIT taxable income, without regard to the deduction for dividends paid and excluding net capital gains, and that the Company pay tax at regular corporate rates to the extent that it annually distributes less than 100% of its net taxable income. Given these requirements and the Companys belief that dividends are generally one of the principal reasons shareholders invest in a REIT, the Company generally intends over time to pay dividends to its stockholders in an amount equal to its net taxable income, if and to the extent authorized by the Companys board of directors. Distributable Earnings is a key factor considered by the Companys board of directors in setting the dividend and as such the Company believes Distributable Earnings is useful to investors.
During the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company recorded in the consolidated statement of operations a realized loss on the sale of a commercial mortgage loan secured by a hotel in Honolulu, Hawaii.
The Company believes it is useful to its investors to also present Distributable Earnings prior to net realized loss on investments and realized gain on extinguishment of debt, in applicable periods, to reflect its operating results because (i) the Companys operating results are primarily comprised of earning interest income on its investments net of borrowing and administrative costs, which comprise the Companys ongoing operations and (ii) it has been a useful factor related to the Companys dividend per share because it is one of the considerations when a dividend is determined. The Company believes that its investors use Distributable Earnings and Distributable Earnings prior to net realized loss on investments and realized gain on extinguishment of debt, or a comparable supplemental performance measure, to evaluate and compare the performance of the Company and its peers.
A significant limitation associated with Distributable Earnings as a measure of the Companys financial performance over any period is that it excludes unrealized gains (losses) from investments. In addition, the Companys presentation of Distributable Earnings may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies, that use different calculations. As a result, Distributable Earnings should not be considered as a substitute for the Companys GAAP net income as a measure of its financial performance or any measure of its liquidity under GAAP. Distributable Earnings are reduced for realized losses on loans which include losses that management believes are near certain to be realized.
A reconciliation of Distributable Earnings to GAAP net income (loss) available to common stockholders is included in the detailed presentation of the Companys quarter ended June 30, 2024 results, which can be viewed at www.apollocref.com.

See footnotes on page 21 Reconciliation of GAAP Net Income to Distributable Earnings1

Footnotes Distributable Earnings is a non-GAAP financial measure that we define as net income available to common stockholders, computed in accordance with GAAP, adjusted for (i) equity-based compensation expense (a portion of which may become cash-based upon final vesting and settlement of awards should the holder elect net share settlement to satisfy income tax withholding), (ii) any unrealized gains or losses or other non-cash items (including depreciation and amortization on real estate owned) included in net income available to common stockholders, (iii) unrealized income from unconsolidated joint ventures, (iv) foreign currency gains (losses), other than (a) realized gains/(losses) related to interest income, and (b) forward point gains/(losses) realized on our foreign currency hedges, (v) the non-cash amortization expense related to the reclassification of a portion of our convertible senior notes to stockholders’ equity in accordance with GAAP, and (vi) provision for loan losses and impairments. Please see page 20 for a reconciliation of GAAP net income to Distributable Earnings. Reflects closing share price on August 5, 2024. Weighted Average Unlevered All-in Yield on the loan portfolio is based on the applicable benchmark rates as of period end on the floating rate loans and includes accrual of origination, extension, and exit fees. For non-US deals, yield excludes incremental forward points impact from currency hedging. Add-on fundings represent fundings subsequent to loan closing. We believe it is useful to our investors to present Distributable Earnings prior to net realized losses on investments and gain on extinguishment of debt to reflect our operating results because (i) our operating results are primarily comprised of earning interest income on our investments net of borrowing and administrative costs, which comprise our ongoing operations and (ii) it has been a useful factor related to our dividend per share because it is one of the considerations when a dividend is determined. We believe that our investors use Distributable Earnings and Distributable Earnings prior to net realized loss on investments and gain on extinguishment of debt, or a comparable supplemental performance measure, to evaluate and compare the performance of our company and our peers. Book value per share of common stock is common stockholders’ equity divided by shares of common stock outstanding. Amounts and percentages may not foot due to rounding. Other includes changes in General CECL Allowance, cost recovery interests, valuation allowances/reversals of valuation allowances on held for sale loans, realized loss on sale of a commercial mortgage and the accretion of loan costs and fees. Based on loan amortized cost, net of Specific CECL Allowance. Assumes exercise of all extension options. There is no assurance that all or any extension options will be exercised. Gross of $35 million of General CECL Allowance. Amortized cost for these loans is net of the recorded Specific CECL Allowances. Loans are secured by the same property. Represents total debt, less cash and loan proceeds held by servicer divided by total stockholders' equity, adjusted to add back the General CECL Allowance in line with our covenants. Fixed charge coverage is EBITDA divided by interest expense and preferred stock dividends for the quarter ended June 30, 2024. Future funding dates and amounts are based upon the Manager’s estimates, which are derived from the best information available to the Manager at the time. There is no assurance that the payments will occur in accordance with these estimates or at all, which could affect our operating results. Excludes risk-rated 5 loans. Any such hypothetical impact on interest rates on our variable rate borrowings does not consider the effect of any change in overall economic activity that could occur in a rising interest rate environment. Further, in the event of a change in interest rates of that magnitude, we may take actions to further mitigate our exposure to such a change. However, due to the uncertainty of the specific actions that would be taken and their possible effects, this analysis assumes no changes in our financial structure. There is no assurance that there will be no changes in our financial structure. The analysis incorporates movements in USD, GBP and EUR benchmark rates only.
