Insights

Arbor Realty Trust's Q3 2024 results show mixed performance with some concerning trends. Net income decreased to $0.31 per share from $0.41 year-over-year, while distributable earnings fell to $0.43 from $0.55. The company has made significant progress in deleveraging, reducing its debt-to-equity ratio from 4:1 to 3:1.

Notable concerns include twenty-six non-performing loans totaling $625.4 million and increased loan loss provisions. The structured portfolio's weighted average interest rate decreased to 8.16% from 8.60%, primarily due to SOFR rate changes. The recent issuance of $100 million in senior notes at 9.00% interest suggests higher borrowing costs.

The maintained dividend of $0.43 per share, despite lower earnings, warrants attention regarding sustainability. The agency business remains stable with $1.10 billion in originations and a growing servicing portfolio of $33.01 billion.

The loan modification activity is particularly noteworthy, with 24 loans totaling $1.15 billion modified in Q3. The temporary rate relief structure, combining pay and accrual rates, indicates potential stress in the portfolio but also shows proactive management. The weighted average pay rate of 5.91% plus 2.50% accrual rate on modified loans suggests careful balance between borrower relief and maintaining yield.

The reduction in the structured portfolio to $11.57 billion from $11.87 billion, combined with higher runoff than origination, indicates a defensive posture in challenging market conditions. The focus on SFR lending (92% of new originations) represents a strategic shift from traditional multifamily lending, potentially as a risk management measure.

Company Highlights:

  • GAAP net income of $0.31 and distributable earnings of $0.43, per diluted common share1
  • Declares cash dividend on common stock of $0.43 per share
  • Successfully delevered the Company 25% from a peak debt to equity ratio of 4:1 in 2023, to 3:1 at 3Q242
  • Cash and liquidity of ~$600 million3
  • Agency loan originations of $1.10 billion; a servicing portfolio of ~$33.01 billion, up 2% from 2Q24 and 10% from a year ago
  • Structured loan originations of $258.5 million, runoff of $521.3 million and a portfolio of ~$11.57 billion
  • In October 2024, issued $100.0 million of 9.00% senior notes due 2027

The Company is presenting distributable earnings because management believes it is an important supplemental measure of the Company's operating performance and is useful to investors, analysts and other parties in the evaluation of REITs and their ability to provide dividends to stockholders. Dividends are one of the principal reasons investors invest in REITs. To maintain REIT status, REITs are required to distribute at least 90% of their REIT-taxable income. The Company considers distributable earnings in determining its quarterly dividend and believes that, over time, distributable earnings is a useful indicator of the Company's dividends per share.

The Company defines distributable earnings as net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders computed in accordance with GAAP, adjusted for accounting items such as depreciation and amortization (adjusted for unconsolidated joint ventures), non-cash stock-based compensation expense, income from MSRs, amortization and write-offs of MSRs, gains/losses on derivative instruments primarily associated with Private Label loans not yet sold and securitized, changes in fair value of GSE-related derivatives that temporarily flow through earnings, deferred tax provision (benefit), CECL provisions for credit losses (adjusted for realized losses as described below) and gains/losses on the receipt of real estate from the settlement of loans (prior to the sale of the real estate). The Company also adds back one-time charges such as acquisition costs and one-time gains/losses on the early extinguishment of debt and redemption of preferred stock.

The Company reduces distributable earnings for realized losses in the period management determines that a loan is deemed nonrecoverable in whole or in part. Loans are deemed nonrecoverable upon the earlier of: (1) when the loan receivable is settled (i.e., when the loan is repaid, or in the case of foreclosure, when the underlying asset is sold); or (2) when management determines that it is nearly certain that all amounts due will not be collected. The realized loss amount is equal to the difference between the cash received, or expected to be received, and the book value of the asset.

Distributable earnings is not intended to be an indication of the Company's cash flows from operating activities (determined in accordance with GAAP) or a measure of its liquidity, nor is it entirely indicative of funding the Company's cash needs, including its ability to make cash distributions. The Company's calculation of distributable earnings may be different from the calculations used by other companies and, therefore, comparability may be limited.
