Insights

Safehold's Q3 2024 results show mixed performance with $90.7 million in revenue and $19.3 million in net income ($26.1 million excluding credit loss provisions). The company closed $104 million in new originations and made a strategic $69 million joint venture buyout.

Key metrics indicate operational stability, but there are concerns: The $6.8 million credit loss provision suggests increasing caution about asset quality. EPS of 0.27% (0.37% adjusted) reflects moderate profitability, while the new originations pace shows continued growth despite challenging market conditions.

The joint venture partner buyout demonstrates confidence in portfolio assets but also increases direct exposure to market risks. Rising interest rates remain a significant headwind for the ground lease business model, potentially impacting new deal flow and portfolio performance.

NEW YORK, Oct. 28, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Safehold Inc. (NYSE: SAFE) reported results for the third quarter 2024.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures:

Net income attributable to Safehold Inc. common shareholders excluding general provision for credit losses on prior period balances, and EPS excluding general provision for credit losses on prior period balances, are non-GAAP measures used as supplemental performance measures to give management and investors a view of net income and EPS more directly derived from operating activities in the period in which they occur. It should be examined in conjunction with net income  attributable to common shareholders as shown in our consolidated statements of operations. EPS excluding general provision for credit losses on prior period balances is calculated as net income attributable to Safehold Inc. common shareholders excluding general provision for credit losses on prior period balances, divided by the weighted average number of common shares. These metrics should not be considered as alternatives to net income attributable to common shareholders or EPS, respectively (in each case determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America ("GAAP")). These measures may differ from similarly-titled measures used by other companies. Reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are presented below.
