We originate first mortgage loans secured by middle market transitional commercial real estate, or CRE, which are generally to be held as long term investments. We fund our loan portfolio using cash on hand and advancements under our Secured Financing Facilities, as defined in Note 5. See Note 5 for further information regarding our secured financing agreements.

(2)All in yield represents the yield on a loan, including amortization of deferred fees over the initial term of the loan and excluding any purchase discount accretion.
(3)    Maximum maturity assumes all borrower loan extension options have been exercised, which options are subject to the borrower meeting certain conditions.

Credit Quality Information and Allowance for Credit Losses
We evaluate the credit quality of each of our loans at least quarterly by assessing a variety of risk factors in relation to each loan and assigning a risk rating to each loan based on those factors. The higher the number, the greater the risk level. See our 2025 Annual Report for more information regarding our loan risk ratings.
As of September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the amortized cost of our loan portfolio within each internal risk rating by year of origination was as follows:

Allowance for credit losses
We measure our allowance for credit losses using the current expected credit loss, or CECL, model, which is based upon historical experience, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts incorporating forward-looking information that affects the collectability of the reported amount.
The allowance for credit losses is a valuation account that is deducted from the related loans’ amortized cost basis in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. Our loans typically include commitments to fund incremental proceeds to borrowers over the life of the loan; these future funding commitments are also subject to the CECL model. The allowance for credit losses related to unfunded loan commitments is included in accounts payable, accrued liabilities and other liabilities in our condensed consolidated balance sheets.
Given the lack of historical loss data related to our loan portfolio, we estimate our expected losses using an analytical model that considers the likelihood of default and loss given default for each individual loan. This analytical model incorporates data from a third party database with historical loan loss information for commercial mortgage-backed securities, or CMBS, and CRE loans since 1998. We estimate the allowance for credit losses for our portfolio, including unfunded loan commitments, at the individual loan level. Significant inputs to the model include certain loan specific data, such as loan to value, or LTV, property type, geographic location, occupancy, vintage year, remaining loan term, net operating income, expected timing and amounts of future loan fundings and macroeconomic forecast assumptions, including the performance of CRE assets, unemployment rates, interest rates and other factors. We utilize the model to estimate credit losses over a reasonable and supportable economic forecast period of 12 months, followed by a straight-line reversion period of 12 months to average historical losses. Average historical losses are established using a population of third party historical loss data that approximates our portfolio as of the measurement date. We evaluate the estimated allowance for each of our loans individually and we consider our internal loan risk rating as the primary credit quality indicator underlying our assessment.
We have elected to exclude accrued interest receivable from amortized cost and not to measure an allowance for credit losses on accrued interest receivable. Accrued interest receivables are generally written off when payments are 120 days past due. Such amounts are reversed against interest income and no further interest will be recorded until it is collected.
If a loan is determined to be collateral dependent (because the repayment of the loan is expected to be provided substantially through the operation or sale of the underlying collateral property) and the borrower is experiencing financial difficulties, but foreclosure is not probable, we may elect to apply a practical expedient to determine the loan's allowance for credit losses by comparing the collateral's fair value to the amortized cost basis of the loan. For collateral-dependent loans for which foreclosure is probable, the related allowance for credit losses is determined using the fair value of the collateral compared to the loan's amortized cost.
See Note 2 to our Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part IV, Item 15 of our 2025 Annual Report for further information regarding our measurement of our allowance for credit losses.

The decrease in the allowance for credit losses during the three months ended September 30, 2026 is primarily due to the repayment of a loan secured by an office property in Dallas, TX, which had an allowance for credit losses of $6,288 as of June 30, 2026. As a result of the repayment, $4,788 of the allowance was reversed and $1,500 was recorded as a realized loss during the three months ended September 30, 2026. This decrease was partially offset by increased allowances for certain of our “4” rated office loans and allowances for new loan originations during the three months ended September 30, 2026.
We may enter into loan modifications that include, among other changes, extensions of maturity dates, repurposing or required replenishment of reserves, increases or decreases in loan commitments and required pay downs of principal amounts outstanding. Loan modifications are evaluated to determine whether a modification results in a new loan or a continuation of an existing loan under ASC 310.
In July 2026, we amended the agreement governing our loan secured by an office property in Plano, TX. As part of this amendment, the maturity date was extended by two years to July 1, 2028. As of September 30, 2026, this loan had an amortized cost of $26,576 and a risk rating of 4.
In August 2026, we entered into a discounted payoff agreement for our loan secured by an office property in Dallas, TX, which had an amortized cost of $44,217 and a risk rating of 4 as of June 30, 2026. In connection with this agreement, the borrower repaid $42,717 of the outstanding principal balance of $44,217, resulting in a realized loss of $1,500. The realized loss is included in (reversal of) provision for credit losses in our condensed consolidated statements of operations during the three months ended September 30, 2026.
In August 2026, we entered into a discounted payoff agreement for our loan secured by an office property in Carlsbad, CA in connection with the pending sale of the underlying collateral. As a result, we determined that the loan was collateral dependent and wrote the loan down to the fair value of the collateral, less estimated costs to sell, of $22,166. Accordingly, we recorded a reversal of credit losses of $224 during the three months ended September 30, 2026 to reduce the allowance for credit losses for this loan to $2,508. As of September 30, 2026, this loan had a risk rating of 5. In October 2026, the borrower repaid approximately $22,100 of the outstanding principal balance.
We did not have any outstanding past due loans or nonaccrual loans as of September 30, 2026 or December 31, 2025. As of September 30, 2026 and October 23, 2026, all of our borrowers had paid their debt service obligations owed and due to us. See our 2025 Annual Report for more information regarding our nonaccrual policy.
As of September 30, 2026, we had unfunded loan commitments of $37,339 related to our loans held for investment that are not reflected in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. These unfunded loan commitments had a weighted average initial maturity of 1.7 years as of September 30, 2026.
