Insights
Ready Capital's Q4 2024 results reveal significant challenges, with a GAAP loss per share of $(1.80) and a distributable loss per share of $(0.03). The company has taken decisive but difficult measures, fully reserving for all non-performing loans in their CRE portfolio—a necessary step that impacts short-term book value but potentially accelerates recovery in net interest margin.
Most notably, management has reduced the quarterly dividend by approximately 46% to $0.125 per share, aligning with anticipated cash earnings. This substantial dividend cut signals management's prioritization of capital preservation for reinvestment and share repurchases over maintaining unsustainable payouts.
The mixed operational performance shows a clear divergence between segments: Small Business Lending performed well with $348 million in originations, while the multi-family focused business struggled against macroeconomic headwinds. Total LMM commercial real estate originations reached $436 million for the quarter.
The company's strategic positioning includes aggressive capital management—RC repurchased 5.8 million shares at an average $7.35 per share in Q4 and has authorized a new $150 million buyback program. Additionally, their $130 million senior notes issuance and subsequent $220 million secured notes placement indicate a comprehensive balance sheet restructuring.
With book value at $10.61 per share, the current market price represents a ~35% discount to book value, reflecting investor skepticism about the recovery timeline but potentially offering value if management successfully executes on their strategy to accelerate non-performing loan resolutions and redeploy capital into higher-yielding originations.
Ready Capital's Q4 results represent a critical inflection point for the company. The significant GAAP loss of $(1.80) per share masks the underlying transition occurring in their portfolio. Management is essentially performing surgery on their balance sheet—painful in the short term but potentially beneficial for long-term health.
The decision to fully reserve against non-performing CRE loans is a classic "kitchen sink" approach that frontloads pain. This strategy typically precedes recovery, as it removes uncertainty and creates a cleaner runway for future quarters. The distributable earnings of $0.23 before realized losses indicates the core business maintains some earnings power despite headwinds.
The dividend reduction to $0.125 (a 46% cut) will conserve approximately $80 million annually in capital. Combined with the new $150 million share repurchase authorization, management is signaling they believe shares are undervalued at current levels. The 7.1% distributable return on equity before realized losses shows potential for reasonable returns once the portfolio stabilizes.
Their capital markets activity is particularly noteworthy—issuing $130 million in unsecured notes and $220 million in secured notes demonstrates continued market access despite challenges. This liquidity provides important flexibility for managing distressed assets and funding new originations. The United Development Funding IV acquisition suggests management remains opportunistic even while addressing internal challenges.
While credit deterioration remains a significant concern, the company's decisive action to address problem loans, combined with continued access to capital markets and strong SBA lending originations, creates a potential foundation for recovery as interest rates potentially moderate through 2025.

NEW YORK, March 03, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Ready Capital Corporation (“Ready Capital” or the “Company”) (NYSE: RC), a multi-strategy real estate finance company that originates, acquires, finances, and services lower-to-middle-market (“LMM”) investor and owner-occupied commercial real estate loans, today reported financial results for the quarter ended December 31, 2024 and declared dividends for the quarter ending March 31, 2025.
“The fourth quarter closes out a year of mixed results. On one hand, our Small Business Lending segment performed well, with significant origination growth reflecting the benefits of past investments. Meanwhile, our multi-family lending focused business faced challenges from higher rates, inflationary pressures, and lower rent growth,” said Thomas Capasse, Ready Capital’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “Entering 2025, we have taken decisive actions to stabilize and better position our balance sheet going forward by fully reserving for all of our non-performing loans in our CRE portfolio. While this reduces our book value per share in the short term, we believe it provides a path to recovery in our net interest margin through the accelerated resolution of our non-performing loans to generate liquidity for reinvestment in higher-yielding new originations. Additionally, we have adjusted our dividend to

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information
In addition to the results presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP, this press release includes distributable earnings, formerly referred to as core earnings, which is a non-U.S. GAAP financial measure. The Company defines distributable earnings as net income adjusted for unrealized gains and losses related to certain mortgage backed securities (“MBS”) not retained by us as part of our loan origination business, realized gains and losses on sales of certain MBS, unrealized gains and losses related to residential mortgage servicing rights (“MSR”) from discontinued operations, unrealized changes in our current expected credit loss reserve, unrealized gains or losses on de-designated cash flow hedges, unrealized gains or losses on foreign exchange hedges, unrealized gains or losses on certain unconsolidated joint ventures, non-cash compensation expense related to our stock-based incentive plan, and one-time non-recurring gains or losses, such as gains or losses on discontinued operations, bargain purchase gains, or merger related expenses.
The Company believes that this non-U.S. GAAP financial information, in addition to the related U.S. GAAP measures, provides investors greater transparency into the information used by management in its financial and operational decision-making, including the determination of dividends. However, because distributable earnings is an incomplete measure of the Company's financial performance and involves differences from net income computed in accordance with U.S. GAAP, it should be considered along with, but not as an alternative to, the Company's net income computed in accordance with U.S. GAAP as a measure of the Company's financial performance. In addition, because not all companies use identical calculations, the Company's presentation of distributable earnings may not be comparable to other similarly-titled measures of other companies.
In calculating distributable earnings, Net Income (in accordance with U.S. GAAP) is adjusted to exclude unrealized gains and losses on MBS acquired by the Company in the secondary market but is not adjusted to exclude unrealized gains and losses on MBS retained by Ready Capital as part of its loan origination businesses, where the Company transfers originated loans into an MBS securitization and the Company retains an interest in the securitization. In calculating distributable earnings, the Company does not adjust Net Income (in accordance with U.S. GAAP) to take into account unrealized gains and losses on MBS retained by us as part of the loan origination businesses because the unrealized gains and losses that are generated in the loan origination and securitization process are considered to be a fundamental part of this business and an indicator of the ongoing performance and credit quality of the Company’s historical loan originations. In calculating distributable earnings, Net Income (in accordance with U.S. GAAP) is adjusted to exclude realized gains and losses on certain MBS securities considered to be non-distributable. Certain MBS positions are considered to be non-distributable due to a variety of reasons which may include collateral type, duration, and size.
In addition, in calculating distributable earnings, Net Income (in accordance with U.S. GAAP) is adjusted to exclude unrealized gains or losses on residential MSRs, held at fair value from discontinued operations. Servicing rights relating to the Company’s small business commercial business are accounted for under ASC 860, Transfer and Servicing. In calculating distributable earnings, the Company does not exclude realized gains or losses on commercial MSRs, as servicing income is a fundamental part of Ready Capital’s business and is an indicator of the ongoing performance.
To qualify as a REIT, the Company must distribute to its stockholders each calendar year at least
