6. LOANS
The Company invests in residential and corporate loans. Loans are classified as either held for investment or held for sale. Loans are eligible to be accounted for under the fair value option. If loans are elected under the fair value option, they are carried at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in earnings. Otherwise, loans held for investment are carried at cost less impairment and loans held for sale are accounted for at the lower of cost or fair value. Excluding loans transferred or pledged to securitization vehicles and loan warehouse facilities, as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company reported $2.3 billion and $345.8 million, respectively, of loans for which the fair value option was elected. If the Company intends to sell or securitize the loans and the securitization vehicle is not expected to be consolidated, the loans are classified as held for sale. If loans are held for sale and the fair value option was not elected, they are accounted for at the lower of cost or fair value. Any origination fees and costs or purchase premiums or discounts are deferred and recognized upon sale. The Company determines the fair value of loans held for sale on an individual loan basis. The carrying value of the Company’s residential loans held for sale was $2.3 million and $47.0 million at December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Allowance for Losses – The Company evaluates the need for a loss reserve on each of its loans classified as held-for-investment, which primarily include corporate debt and commercial loans, where the fair value option is not elected. Allowance for loan losses are written off in the period the loans are deemed uncollectible. Given the unique nature of each underlying borrower and any collateral, the Company assesses an allowance for each individual loan held for investment. An allowance is established at origination or acquisition that reflects management’s estimate of the total expected credit loss over the expected life of the loan. In estimating the lifetime expected credit losses, management utilizes a probability of default and loss given default methodology (“Loss Given Default methodology”), which considers projected economic conditions over the reasonable and supportable forecast period. The forecast incorporates primarily market-based assumptions including, but not limited to, forward interest rate curves, unemployment rate estimates and certain indexes sourced from third party vendors. For any remaining period of the expected life of the loan after the reasonable and supportable period, the Company reverts to historical losses on a straight-line basis. Management uses third party vendors’ loan pool data for loans with similar risk characteristics to estimate historical losses given the limited loss history of the Company’s loan portfolio. Changes in the lifetime expected credit loss are reflected in Loan loss (provision) reversal in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss). For loans experiencing credit deterioration, the Company may use a different methodology to determine the expected credit losses such as a discounted cash flow analysis. For collateral-dependent loans, if foreclosure is probable, expected credit losses are based on the fair value of the collateral at the reporting date, adjusted for any selling costs, if applicable. Additionally, the Company may elect the practical expedient for a financial asset for which the repayment is expected to be provided substantially through the operation or sale of the collateral when the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty by measuring the allowance as the difference between the fair value of the collateral, less costs to sell, if applicable, and the amortized cost basis of the financial asset at the reporting date. The Company’s commercial loans were collateralized by commercial real estate including, but not limited to, multifamily real estate, office and retail space, hotels and industrial space. At origination, the fair value of the collateral generally exceeded the principal loan balance. Management assesses the credit quality of the portfolio and adequacy of loan loss reserves on a quarterly basis, or more frequently as necessary. Significant judgment is required in this analysis. Depending on the expected recovery of its investment, the Company considers the estimated net recoverable value of the loans as well as other factors, including but not limited to the fair value of any collateral, the amount and the status of any senior debt, the prospects for the borrower and the competitive landscape where the borrower conducts business. To determine if loan loss allowances are required on investments in corporate debt, the Company reviews the monthly and/or quarterly financial statements of the borrowers, verifies loan compliance packages, if applicable, and analyzes current results relative to budgets and sensitivities performed at inception of the investment. Because these determinations are based upon projections of future economic events, which are inherently subjective, the amounts ultimately realized may differ materially from the carrying value as of the reporting date. The Company may be exposed to various levels of credit risk depending on the nature of its investments and credit enhancements, if any, supporting its assets. The Company’s core investment process includes procedures related to the initial approval and periodic monitoring of credit risk and other risks associated with each investment. The Company’s investment underwriting procedures include evaluation of the underlying borrowers’ ability to manage and operate their respective properties or companies. Management reviews loan-to-value metrics at origination or acquisition of a new investment and if events occur that trigger re-evaluation by management. The Company recorded net loan loss (provisions) reversals of $145.1 million, ($147.6) million and ($16.6) million for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company’s loan loss allowance was $27.9 million and $169.5 million, respectively. The following table presents the activity of the Company’s loan investments, including loans held for sale and excluding loans transferred or pledged to securitization vehicles and loan warehouse facilities, for the year ended December 31, 2021:

(1) Represents loans the Company originated during the three months ended June 30, 2021 and subsequently syndicated and closed. (2) Includes securitizations, syndications and transfers to securitization vehicles and commercial loan transfers to assets for disposal group held for sale. Includes transfer of residential loans to securitization vehicles with a carrying value of $3.9 billion during the year ended December 31, 2021. (3) Includes loan loss allowances.
The Company also has off-balance-sheet credit exposures related to unfunded loan commitments, including revolvers, delayed draw term loans and future funding commitments that are not unconditionally cancellable by the Company. The Company utilizes the same methodology in calculating the liability related to the expected credit losses on these exposures as it does for the calculation of the allowance for loan losses. In determining the estimate of credit losses for off-balance-sheet credit exposures, the Company will consider the contractual period in which the entity is exposed to credit risk and the likelihood that funding will occur, if material. Estimated credit losses for off-balance-sheet credit exposures are included in Other liabilities on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. Residential The Company’s residential mortgage loans are primarily comprised of performing adjustable-rate and fixed-rate whole loans. The Company’s residential loans are accounted for under the fair value option with changes in fair value reflected in Net unrealized gains (losses) on instruments measured at fair value through earnings in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss). Additionally, the Company consolidated a collateralized financing entity that securitized prime adjustable-rate jumbo residential mortgage loans until November 2021, when the Company exercised its clean-up call and liquidated the securitization trust. The Company also consolidates securitization trusts in which it had purchased subordinated securities because it also has certain powers and rights to direct the activities of such trusts. Refer to the “Variable Interest Entities” Note for further information related to the Company’s consolidated residential mortgage loan trusts. The following table presents the fair value and the unpaid principal balances of the residential mortgage loan portfolio, including loans transferred or pledged to securitization vehicles and excluding loan warehouse facilities, at December 31, 2021 and 2020:

At December 31, 2021 and 2020, approximately 16% and 37%, respectively, of the carrying value of the Company’s residential mortgage loans, including loans transferred or pledged to securitization vehicles, were adjustable-rate. During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company participated in an arrangement that provided a residential mortgage loan warehouse facility to a third-party originator. The Company has elected to apply the fair value option to this lending facility in order to simplify the accounting and keep the accounting consistent with other residential credit financial instruments with similar characteristics. At December 31, 2021, the fair value and carrying value of this warehouse facility was approximately $1.0 million and is reported as Loans, net in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. As of December 31, 2021, the lending facility was not on nonaccrual status nor past due. Commercial As of December 31, 2021, commercial real estate loans are reported in Assets of disposal group held for sale in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition and classified as held for sale. As of December 31, 2020, commercial real estate loans are reported in Loans, net in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition and classified as held for investment. Refer to the “Sale of Commercial Real Estate Business” Note for additional information on the transaction. The Company’s commercial real estate loans are comprised of adjustable-rate and fixed-rate loans. The difference between the principal amount of a loan and proceeds at acquisition is recorded as either a discount or premium. Commercial real estate loans and preferred equity interests that were designated as held for investment and were originated or purchased by the Company are carried at their outstanding principal balance, net of unamortized origination fees and costs, premiums or discounts, less an allowance for losses, if necessary. Origination fees and costs, premiums or discounts are amortized into interest income over the life of the loan. During the period the Company owns the assets, management generally reviews the most recent financial information and metrics derived therefrom produced by the borrower, which may include, but is not limited to, net operating income (“NOI”), debt service coverage ratios, property debt yields (net cash flow or NOI divided by the amount of outstanding indebtedness), loan per unit and rent rolls relating to each of the Company’s commercial real estate loans and preferred equity interests (“CRE Debt and Preferred Equity Investments”), and may consider other factors management deems important. Management also reviews market pricing to determine each borrower’s ability to refinance their respective assets at the maturity of each loan, economic trends (both macro and those affecting the property specifically), and the supply and demand of competing projects in the sub-market in which each subject property is located. Management monitors the financial condition and operating results of its borrowers and continually assesses the future outlook of the borrower’s financial performance in light of industry developments, management changes and company-specific considerations. The Company’s commercial loans are collateral-dependent and, as such, for loans experiencing credit deterioration, the Company is required to record an allowance based upon the fair value of the underlying collateral if foreclosure is probable or if the practical expedient is elected. For the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company reversed the loan loss allowance resulting in a loan loss reversal on impaired commercial loans of $67.4 million as the loans are classified as held for sale and are carried at lower of cost or fair value. For the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company recorded a loan loss (provision) on impaired commercial loans of ($78.4) million with a principal balance and carrying value, net of allowances of $181.2 million and $113.6 million, respectively, based upon the fair value of the underlying collateral. The Company uses a discounted cash flow or market based valuation technique based upon the underlying property to project property cash flows. In projecting these cash flows, the Company reviewed the borrower financial statements, rent rolls, economic trends and other factors management deems important. These nonrecurring fair value measurements are considered to be in level three of the fair value measurement hierarchy as there are unobservable inputs, which are significant to the overall fair value. For the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company reversed the loan loss allowance based upon its Loss Given Default methodology resulting in a loan loss reversal on commercial loans of $62.5 million as the loans were classified as held for sale and carried at lower of cost or fair value. For the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company recorded a net loan loss (provision) of ($54.8) million based upon its Loss Given Default methodology. As a result of the implementation of the Loss Given Default methodology under the modified retrospective method, a cumulative effect loan loss allowance of $7.8 million was recorded on January 1, 2020. During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company modified five commercial loans with a carrying value of $243.8 million at December 31, 2020. The maturity dates on four commercial loans were extended and one commercial loan was granted a 120 day forbearance. Additionally, as part of the restructuring two loans had partial paydowns totaling $4.5 million. The loan loss allowance recorded for these commercial loans was $23.6 million at December 31, 2020. Future funding commitments on the restructured loans total $4.1 million at December 31, 2020. At December 31, 2020, the amortized cost basis of commercial loans on nonaccrual status was $46.8 million. For the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company recognized interest income on commercial loans on nonaccrual status of $2.1 million. At December 31, 2020, the Company had unfunded commercial real estate loan commitments of $99.3 million. At December 31, 2020, the liability related to the expected credit losses on the unfunded commercial loan commitments was $5.1 million. At December 31, 2020, approximately 94% of the carrying value of the Company’s CRE Debt and Preferred Equity Investments, including loans transferred or pledged to securitization vehicles were adjustable-rate.

Corporate Debt The Company’s investments in corporate loans typically take the form of senior secured loans primarily in first or second lien positions. The Company’s senior secured loans generally have stated maturities of five to eight years. In connection with these senior secured loans, the Company receives a security interest in certain assets of the borrower and such assets support repayment of such loans. Senior secured loans are generally exposed to less credit risk than more junior loans given their seniority to scheduled principal and interest and priority of security in the assets of the borrower. Interest income from coupon payments is accrued based upon the outstanding principal amounts of the debt and its contractual terms. Premiums and discounts are amortized or accreted into interest income using the effective interest method. The Company’s internal risk rating rubric for corporate debt has nine categories as depicted below:
Risk Rating - Corporate Debt | Description
1-5 / Performing | Meets all present contractual obligations.
6 / Performing - Closely Monitored | Meets all present contractual obligations but exhibits a defined weakness in either leverage or liquidity, but not both. Loans at this rating will require closer monitoring, but where we expect no loss of interest or principal.
7 / Substandard | A loan that has a defined weakness in either leverage and/or liquidity, and which may require substantial changes to strengthen the asset. Loans at this rating level have a higher probability of loss, although no determination of the amount or timing of a loss is yet possible.
8 / Doubtful | A loan that has missed a scheduled principal or interest payment or is otherwise deemed a non-earning account. The probability of loss is increasingly certain due to significant performance issues.
9 / Loss | Considered uncollectible.
Management assesses each loan at least quarterly and assigns an internal risk rating based on its evaluation of the most recent financial information produced by the borrower and consideration of economic conditions. See below for a tabular disclosure of the amortized cost basis of the Company’s corporate debt held for investment by year of origination and internal risk rating. There was no provision for loan loss recorded on corporate loans using a discounted cash flow methodology for the year ended December 31, 2021. For the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company recorded a loan loss (provision) of ($4.5) million on impaired corporate loans using a discounted cash flow methodology.
