BROADMARK REALTY CAPITAL ANNOUNCES FIRST QUARTER 2021 RESULTS

Seattle, WA – May 10, 2021 – Broadmark Realty Capital Inc. (NYSE: BRMK) (the “Company”), an internally managed secured real estate finance company, today announced operating results for the quarter ended March 31, 2021.

Jeff Pyatt, President and Chief Executive Officer of Broadmark, commented, “Housing and construction market fundamentals remain highly supportive of our business, with a persistent shortage of housing supply continuing to drive demand for our loans. We achieved a strong pace of originations to start the year, with new loans and risk reducing amendments of $149 million. This follows an exceptional quarter of origination volumes at the end of 2020. Our newly enhanced capital structure has unlocked additional funding capacity on our balance sheet, positioning us to take advantage of lending opportunities in our high-growth target markets. As we survey an attractive market landscape, we remain committed to our disciplined approach to capital allocation, which we believe will help drive exceptional cash flow growth and value creation for our shareholders.”

RECONCILIATION OF NET INCOME TO DISTRIBUTABLE EARNINGS

(in thousands, except for per share amounts)

Definition of Distributable Earnings

The Company has elected to present “distributable earnings,” a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure used by management to evaluate the Company’s operating performance. The Company defines distributable earnings as net income attributable to common stockholders adjusted for: (i) impairment recorded on the Company’s investments; (ii) unrealized gains or losses on the Company’s investments (including provision for credit losses); (iii) non-capitalized transaction-related and new public company transition expenses; (iv) non-cash stock-based compensation; (v) depreciation and amortization of the Company’s intangible assets; and (vi) deferred taxes, which are subject to variability and generally not indicative of future economic performance or representative of current operations.

During the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, provision for credit losses, net was $2.7 and $4.4 million, respectively, which has been excluded from distributable earnings consistent with other unrealized gains (losses) pursuant to the Company’s policy for reporting distributable earnings. The Company expects to recognize such potential credit losses in distributable earnings if and when such amounts are deemed nonrecoverable upon a realization event. This is generally upon charge-off of principal at the time of loan repayment or upon sale of real property owned by the Company and the amount of proceeds is less than the principal outstanding at the time of foreclosure.

Management believes that the adjustments to compute “distributable earnings” specified above allow investors and analysts to readily identify and track the operating performance of the Company’s assets, assist in comparing the operating results between periods, and enable investors to evaluate the Company’s current performance using the same measure that management uses to operate the business. Distributable earnings excludes certain recurring items, such as unrealized gains and losses (including provision for credit losses) and non-capitalized transaction-related expenses, because they are not considered by management to be part of the Company’s primary operations for the reasons described herein. As such, distributable earnings is not intended to reflect all of the Company’s activity and should be considered as only one of the factors used by management in assessing the Company’s performance, along with GAAP net income which is inclusive of all of the Company’s activities.

As a REIT, the Company is required to distribute at least 90% of its annual REIT taxable income and to pay tax at regular corporate rates to the extent that it annually distributes less than 100% of such taxable income. Given these requirements and its belief that dividends are generally one of the principal reasons stockholders invest in its common stock, the Company generally intends to attempt to pay dividends to its stockholders in an amount equal to its net taxable income, if and to the extent authorized by the Company’s board of directors. Distributable earnings is one of many factors considered by the Company’s board of directors in declaring dividends and, while not a direct measure of taxable income, over time, the measure can be considered a useful indicator of the Company’s dividends.

8

Distributable earnings does not represent, and should not be considered as a substitute for, or superior to, net income or as a substitute for, or superior to, cash flows from operating activities, each as determined in accordance with GAAP, and the Company’s calculation of this measure may not be comparable to similarly entitled measures reported by other companies.

The table below is a reconciliation of distributable earnings to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure:

(2) Represents credit losses recorded in the provision for credit losses and recognized in distributable earnings upon charge-off of principal at the time of loan repayment or upon sale of real property where proceeds received are less than the principal outstanding.
