– Declares Dividend of $0.48 per share for the Second Quarter of 2017 –

GREENWICH, Conn., May 9, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Starwood Property Trust, Inc. (NYSE: STWD) today announced operating results for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2017.  The Company’s first quarter 2017 GAAP net income was $102.4 million, or $0.39 per diluted share, and Core Earnings (a non-GAAP financial measure) was $131.8 million, or $0.51 per diluted share.

“I am pleased with our strong start to 2017. We deployed $1.4 billion of capital, including over $930 million of originations in our floating-rate loan portfolio at expected returns of 12.5%,” stated Barry Sternlicht, Chairman and CEO of Starwood Property Trust. “From a credit perspective, our portfolio continues to perform quite well, with our total LTV of 63% improving since the end of last quarter. Our earnings were slightly impacted by the excess liquidity from the capital raise in December but coupled with a robust pipeline of investment opportunities across our segments, we feel we are superbly positioned to continue to deliver compelling total returns for our shareholders.”

Dividend

On May 9, 2017, the Company’s Board of Directors declared a dividend of $0.48 per share of common stock for the quarter ending June 30, 2017. The dividend is payable on July 14, 2017 to common stockholders of record as of June 30, 2017.

Definition of Core Earnings

 

Core 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, Core 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 from successful acquisitions, depreciation and amortization of real estate and associated intangibles and any unrealized gains, losses or other non-cash items recorded in net income for the period, regardless of whether such items are included in other comprehensive income or loss, or in net income. 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.
