MIAMI BEACH, Fla., Feb. 27, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Starwood Property Trust, Inc. (NYSE: STWD) today announced operating results for the fiscal quarter and year ended December 31, 2024.  The Company's fourth quarter 2024 GAAP net income was $51.6 million, inclusive of a $52.4 million credit loss provision, and Distributable Earnings (a non-GAAP financial measure) was $166.7 million. The Company's full year 2024 GAAP net income was $359.9 million, inclusive of a $197.4 million credit loss provision, and Distributable Earnings was $675.0 million.

"Having a low leverage multi-cylinder platform has allowed us to invest every quarter for 15 years despite volatile and disruptive market conditions, successfully deploying over $100 billion of capital. With capital markets continuing to thaw, we expect to significantly increase our pace of investment in 2025 and have already closed $1.5 billion so far this year," commented Barry Sternlicht, Chairman and CEO of Starwood Property Trust.

"With significant liquidity and proven access to capital at record low spreads, we are well positioned to grow across our investing cylinders. Our success is not reliant on any one of our many businesses. We have $1.5 billion of harvestable unrealized property gains and high return on equity divisions, including our special servicer (the largest named servicer in the U.S.) and our conduit (the largest non-bank contributor into CMBS in 2024)," added Jeffrey DiModica, President of Starwood Property Trust.

Definition of Distributable Earnings

Distributable Earnings, a non-GAAP financial measure, is used to compute the Company's incentive fees to its external manager and is an appropriate supplemental disclosure for a mortgage REIT.  For the Company's purposes, Distributable Earnings is defined as GAAP net income (loss) excluding non-cash equity compensation expense, the incentive fee due to the Company's external manager, acquisition costs for successful acquisitions, depreciation and amortization of real estate and associated intangibles, any unrealized gains, losses or other non-cash items recorded in net income (loss) for the period and, to the extent deducted from net income (loss), distributions payable with respect to equity securities of subsidiaries issued in exchange for properties or interests therein. The amount is adjusted to exclude one-time events pursuant to changes in GAAP and certain other non-cash adjustments as determined by the Company's external manager and approved by a majority of the Company's independent directors. Refer to the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 for additional information regarding Distributable Earnings.
