Insights

The Q4 and FY2024 results for Claros Mortgage Trust paint a concerning picture of a company grappling with significant portfolio challenges. The GAAP net loss of $221.3 million for 2024 reflects deep-seated issues in the commercial real estate lending space. Several critical metrics demand attention:

The total CECL reserve of 4.3% of unpaid principal balance is particularly troubling, with specific reserves of 18.2% on 5-rated loans indicating severe stress in portions of the portfolio. This high reserve level suggests management anticipates continued deterioration in certain assets, particularly given the $30 million provision in Q4 alone.

However, management is taking decisive action through aggressive deleveraging, reducing outstanding financings by $794 million in 2024. The $1.3 billion in loan repayment and sale proceeds represents a 68% increase from 2023, demonstrating improved execution in portfolio management. The reduction in unfunded loan commitments by over 50% helps preserve capital but may limit future growth opportunities.

The company's liquidity position of $102 million, while modest relative to its $6.1 billion loan portfolio, is being strategically managed through asset sales and portfolio restructuring. The January 2025 sale of a $101 million loan receivable at par suggests some success in executing its resolution strategy, though challenges remain with the reclassification of the hotel portfolio to held-for-sale status.

Management's stated focus on accelerating watchlist loan resolutions indicates a realistic approach to portfolio challenges, but this strategy may lead to additional losses as troubled assets are worked out. The weighted average yield of 7.6% on the loan portfolio appears insufficient to offset credit costs in the current environment, suggesting continued pressure on earnings in the near term.

Definitions

Distributable Earnings (Loss):

Distributable Earnings (Loss) is a non-GAAP measure used to evaluate our performance excluding the effects of certain transactions, non-cash items and GAAP adjustments, as determined by our Manager. Distributable Earnings (Loss) is a non-GAAP measure, which the Company defines as net income (loss) in accordance with GAAP, excluding (i) non-cash stock-based compensation expense, (ii) real estate owned held-for-investment depreciation and amortization, (iii) any unrealized gains or losses from mark-to-market valuation changes (other than permanent impairments) that are included in net income (loss) for the applicable period, (iv) one-time events pursuant to changes in GAAP and (v) certain non-cash items, which in the judgment of our Manager, should not be included in Distributable Earnings (Loss). Furthermore, the Company presents Distributable Earnings prior to realized gains and losses, which such gains and losses include charge-offs of principal and/or accrued interest receivable, as the Company believes this more easily allows our Board, Manager, and investors to compare our operating performance to our peers, to assess our ability to declare and pay dividends, and to determine our compliance with certain financial covenants. Pursuant to the Management Agreement, we use Core Earnings, which is substantially the same as Distributable Earnings (Loss) excluding incentive fees, to determine the incentive fees we pay our Manager.

The Company believes that Distributable Earnings (Loss) and Distributable Earnings prior to realized gains and losses provide meaningful information to consider in addition to our net income (loss) and cash flows from operating activities in accordance with GAAP. Distributable Earnings (Loss) and Distributable Earnings prior to realized gains and losses do not represent net income (loss) or cash flows from operating activities in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to GAAP net income (loss), an indication of our cash flows from operating activities, a measure of our liquidity or an indication of funds available for our cash needs. In addition, the Company’s methodology for calculating these non-GAAP measures may differ from the methodologies employed by other companies to calculate the same or similar supplemental performance measures and, accordingly, the Company’s reported Distributable Earnings (Loss) and Distributable Earnings prior to realized gains and losses may not be comparable to the Distributable Earnings (Loss) and Distributable Earnings prior to realized gains and losses reported by other companies.

In order to maintain the Company’s status as a REIT, the Company is required to distribute at least 90% of its REIT taxable income, determined without regard to the deduction for dividends paid and excluding net capital gain, as dividends. Distributable Earnings (Loss), Distributable Earnings prior to realized gains and losses, and other similar measures, have historically been a useful indicator over time of a mortgage REIT’s ability to cover its dividends, and to mortgage REITs themselves in determining the amount of any dividends to declare. Distributable Earnings (Loss) and Distributable Earnings prior to realized gains and losses are key factors, among others, considered by our Board in determining the dividend each quarter and as such the Company believes Distributable Earnings (Loss) and Distributable Earnings prior to realized gains and losses are also useful to investors.

While Distributable Earnings (Loss) excludes the impact of our provision for or reversal of current expected credit loss reserve, charge-offs of principal and/or accrued interest receivable are recognized through Distributable Earnings (Loss) when deemed non-recoverable. Non-recoverability is determined (i) upon the resolution of a loan (i.e., when the loan is repaid, fully or partially, when the Company acquires title in the case of foreclosure, deed-in-lieu of foreclosure, or assignment-in-lieu of foreclosure, or when the loan is sold or anticipated to be sold for an amount less than its carrying value), or (ii) with respect to any amount due under any loan, when such amount is determined to be uncollectible.
