Financing Activity

 

The Company purchased, at a discount, $20.9 million of its junior subordinated notes, with a carrying value of $19.8 million, resulting in the recognition of a gain on extinguishment of debt of $7.1 million.

 

The balance of debt that finances the Company’s loan and investment portfolio at March 31, 2017 was $1.38 billion with a weighted average interest rate including fees of 4.51%, as compared to $1.35 billion and a rate of 4.45% at December 31, 2016. The average balance of debt that finances the Company’s loan and investment portfolio for the first quarter of 2017 was $1.37 billion, as compared to $1.44 billion for the fourth quarter of 2016. The average cost of borrowings for the first quarter was 4.51%, compared to 4.82% for the fourth quarter of 2016. The decrease in average cost was primarily due to the maturity of the Company’s remaining interest rate swaps as well as from the acceleration of fees related to the unwind of a CLO in the fourth quarter, partially offset by an increase in the one-month LIBOR interest rate.

 

The Company is subject to various financial covenants and restrictions under the terms of its CLO vehicles and financing facilities. The Company believes it was in compliance with all financial covenants and restrictions as of March 31, 2017 and as of the most recent CLO determination dates in April 2017.

 

In April 2017, the Company completed its seventh collateralized securitization vehicle totaling $360.0 million of real estate related assets and cash. An aggregate of $279.0 million of investment grade-rated notes were issued, and the Company retained an $81.0 million equity interest in the portfolio. The notes have an initial weighted average interest rate of 1.99% plus one-month LIBOR, excluding fees and transaction costs. The facility has a three year replenishment period that allows the principal proceeds from repayments of the collateral assets to be reinvested in qualifying replacement assets, subject to certain conditions.

 

Capital Markets

 

The Company reopened its 6.50% Convertible Senior Notes due 2019 and issued an additional $13.8 million for a total outstanding principal amount of $100.0 million. The proceeds received by the Company are intended to be used to make investments in our business and for general corporate purposes.

(1) Amounts are attributable to common stockholders and OP Unit holder. The OP Units are redeemable for cash, or at the Company's option for shares of the Company's common stock on a one-for-one basis.

 

The Company is presenting FFO and AFFO because management believes they are important supplemental measures of the Company’s operating performance in that they are frequently used by analysts, investors and other parties in the evaluation of REITs.  The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, or NAREIT, defines FFO as net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains (losses) from sales of depreciated real properties, plus impairments of depreciated real properties and real estate related depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated ventures.

 

The Company defines AFFO as funds from operations adjusted for accounting items such as non-cash stock-based compensation expense, income from mortgage servicing rights ("MSRs"), changes in fair value of certain derivatives that temporarily flow through earnings, amortization and write-offs of MSRs, deferred tax provisions and benefits and the convertible senior notes conversion option. The Company also adds back one-time charges such as acquisition costs and impairment losses on real estate and gains/losses on sales of real estate. The Company is generally not in the business of operating real estate owned property and has obtained real estate by foreclosure or through partial or full settlement of mortgage debt related to the Company's loans to maximize the value of the collateral and minimize the Company's exposure.  Therefore, the Company deems such impairment and gains/losses on real estate as an extension of the asset management of its loans, thus a recovery of principal or additional loss on the Company's initial investment.

 

FFO and AFFO are not intended to be an indication of the Company's cash flow 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 FFO and AFFO may be different from the calculations used by other companies and, therefore, comparability may be limited.
