MIAMI BEACH, Fla., May 9, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Starwood Property Trust, Inc. STWD today announced operating results for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2025. The Company’s first quarter 2025 GAAP net income was $112.3 million, and Distributable Earnings (a non-GAAP financial measure) was $156.3 million.

“We entered 2025 with significant financial flexibility, diversified business lines, and a solid investment portfolio that we expect to grow significantly this year, with commercial lending originations to date already surpassing all of last year. Our pipeline across businesses continues to be very active. Dislocation in securitized markets, as we are seeing today, always creates outsized opportunities for us,” commented Barry Sternlicht, Chairman and CEO of Starwood Property Trust.

“With $18 billion of capital raised since our IPO, we have a demonstrated ability to access capital markets across varied market conditions. We also continue to benefit from our diverse business model, high levels of liquidity, no corporate debt maturities for over a year, $4.9 billion of unencumbered assets and $1.5 billion of unrealized property gains which we can harvest to create incremental distributable earnings,” added Jeffrey DiModica, President of Starwood Property Trust.

Definition of Distributable Earnings

Distributable Earnings, a non-GAAP financial measure, is used to compute the Company’s incentive fees to its external manager and is an appropriate supplemental disclosure for a mortgage REIT. For the Company’s purposes, Distributable Earnings is defined as GAAP net income (loss) excluding non-cash equity compensation expense, the incentive fee due to the Company’s external manager, acquisition costs for successful acquisitions, depreciation and amortization of real estate and associated intangibles, any unrealized gains, losses or other non-cash items recorded in net income (loss) for the period and, to the extent deducted from net income (loss), distributions payable with respect to equity securities of subsidiaries issued in exchange for properties or interests therein. The amount is adjusted to exclude one-time events pursuant to changes in GAAP and certain other non-cash adjustments as determined by the Company’s external manager and approved by a majority of the Company’s independent directors. Refer to the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2025 for additional information regarding Distributable Earnings.
