SEATTLE--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Broadmark Realty Capital Inc. (NYSE: BRMK) (the “Company”), an internally managed secured real estate finance company, today announced operating results for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2022.

Fourth Quarter 2022 Financial Highlights

• Loan portfolio of $1.4 billion, including $49.9 million of new originations and amendments in the quarter, with a weighted average loan to value of 63.0% at origination and weighted average yield of 11.6%.

• Total revenue of $21.1 million for the quarter.
• GAAP net loss of $153.0 million, or ($1.15) per diluted common share, inclusive of goodwill impairment of $137.0 million or ($1.03) per diluted common share and an increased provision for credit losses of $21.5 million or ($0.16) per diluted common share. The change in the allowance for credit losses was primarily due to heightened market volatility and an increase in loans that are expected to foreclose.

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” and “distributable earnings prior to realized loss on investments”, supplemental non-GAAP financial measures 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 loans, investments in real property and goodwill; (ii) unrealized gains or losses on the Company’s investments (including provision for credit losses) and warrant liabilities; (iii) new public company transition expenses; (iv) non-capitalized transaction-related and other one-time expenses; (v) non-cash stock-based compensation; (vi) depreciation and amortization including amortization of the Company’s intangible assets; and (vii) deferred taxes, which are subject to variability and generally not indicative of future economic performance or representative of current operations.

During the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, provision for credit losses, net was $38.3 and $6.2 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. However, management has elected to also present distributable earnings prior to realized loss on investments because it believes the Company’s investors use such measure to evaluate and compare the performance of the Company and its peers. As such, distributable earnings and distributable earnings prior to realized loss on investments are 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 annually to its stockholders at least 90% of its "REIT taxable income" (determined without regard to the dividends-paid deduction and excluding net capital gains) 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 that 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 and distributable earnings prior to realized loss on investments are one of many factors considered by the Company’s board of directors in declaring dividends and, while not direct measures of taxable income, over time, the measures can be considered useful indicators of the Company’s dividends.

Distributable earnings and distributable earnings prior to realized loss on investments do 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 these measures 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:
