(1)Calculated using applicable index rates as of December 31, 2025 and 2024 for variable rate loans and excludes loans for which interest income is not recognized.
(2)Represents the WAL of each respective group of loans, excluding loans for which interest income is not recognized, as of the respective balance sheet date. For commercial loans held-for-investment, the WAL is calculated assuming all extension options are exercised by the borrower, although our loans may be repaid prior to such date. For infrastructure loans, the WAL is calculated using the amounts and timing of future principal payments, as projected at origination or acquisition of each loan.
(3)First mortgages include first mortgage loans and any contiguous mezzanine loan components because as a whole, the expected credit quality of these loans is more similar to that of a first mortgage loan. The application of this methodology resulted in mezzanine loans with carrying values of $1.3 billion and $0.9 billion being classified as first mortgages as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
(4)Subordinated mortgages include B-Notes and junior participation in first mortgages where we do not own the senior A-Note or senior participation. If we own both the A-Note and B-Note, we categorize the loan as a first mortgage loan.
(5)Residential loans have a weighted average remaining contractual life of 25.8 years and 26.8 years as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Credit Loss Allowances
As discussed in Note 2, we do not have a history of realized credit losses on our HFI loans and HTM securities, so we have subscribed to third party database services to provide us with industry losses for both commercial real estate and infrastructure loans. Using these losses as a benchmark, we determine expected credit losses for our loans and securities on a collective basis within our commercial real estate and infrastructure portfolios.
For our commercial loans, we utilize a loan loss model that is widely used among banks and commercial mortgage REITs and is marketed by a leading CMBS data analytics provider. It employs logistic regression to forecast expected losses at the loan level based on a commercial real estate loan securitization database that contains activity dating back to 1998. We provide specific loan-level inputs which include loan-to-stabilized-value (“LTV”) and debt service coverage ratio (DSCR) metrics, as well as principal balances, property type, location, coupon, origination year, term, subordination, expected repayment dates and future fundings. We also select from a group of independent five-year macroeconomic forecasts included in the model that are updated regularly based on current economic trends. We categorize the results by LTV range, which we consider the most significant indicator of credit quality for our commercial loans, as set forth in the credit quality indicator table below. A lower LTV ratio typically indicates a lower credit loss risk.

The macroeconomic forecasts do not differentiate among property types or asset classes. Instead, these forecasts reference general macroeconomic conditions (i.e. Gross Domestic Product, employment and interest rates) which apply broadly across all assets. For instance, the office sector has been adversely affected by the increase in remote working arrangements, the retail sector has been adversely affected by electronic commerce and the multifamily sector has been strained by sustained higher interest rates. The broad macroeconomic forecasts do not account for such differentiation. Accordingly, we have selected more adverse macroeconomic recovery forecasts for these property types than others in determining our credit loss allowance. We have also selected more adverse macroeconomic recovery forecasts for those loans containing higher risk ratings.
For our infrastructure loans, we utilize a database of historical infrastructure loan performance that is shared among a consortium of banks and other lenders and compiled by a major bond credit rating agency. The database is representative of industry-wide project finance activity dating back to 1983. We derive historical loss rates from the database filtered by industry, sub-industry, term and construction status for each of our infrastructure loans. Those historical loss rates reflect global economic cycles over a long period of time as well as average recovery rates. We categorize the results principally between the power and oil and gas industries, which we consider the most significant indicator of credit quality for our infrastructure loans, as set forth in the credit quality indicator table below.
As discussed in Note 2, we use a discounted cash flow or collateral value approach, rather than the collective pool approach described above, to determine credit loss allowances for any credit deteriorated loans.
The significant credit quality indicators for our loans measured at amortized cost, which excludes loans held-for-sale, were as follows as of December 31, 2025 (dollars in thousands):

Non-Credit Deteriorated Loans

As of December 31, 2025, we had three commercial loans with a combined amortized cost basis of $628.5 million along with $72.6 million of residential loans that were 90 days or greater past due. All of these loans were on nonaccrual as of December 31, 2025, except for a commercial loan with an amortized cost basis of $269.0 million, for which we acquired the remaining senior mortgage interest in this loan from a third party lender subsequent to year end. We also had five commercial loans with a combined amortized cost basis of $535.6 million on nonaccrual that were not 90 days or greater past due as of December 31, 2025. None of these loans were considered credit deteriorated. As of December 31, 2024, we had a total of $1.0 billion of non-credit deteriorated loans on nonaccrual. During the year ended December 31, 2025, commercial loans placed on nonaccrual totaled $179.0 million and resolutions totaled $238.0 million.
Credit Deteriorated Loans
As of December 31, 2025, we had three loans with a combined amortized cost basis of $132.1 million which were deemed credit deteriorated and are on nonaccrual under the cost recovery method: (i) a $90.7 million commercial first mortgage loan on a multifamily property in Phoenix placed on nonaccrual during 2025, for which we assigned a $19.7 million specific credit loss allowance (based on a third party appraisal). The loan was deemed credit deteriorated as the sponsor was unable to fund required debt service shortfalls and capital expenditures and was foreclosed subsequent to year end; (ii) a $36.5 million commercial mezzanine loan on an office portfolio in Ireland placed on nonaccrual during 2025, for which we assigned a $27.6 million specific credit loss allowance, based on a third party purchase of a portion of the mezzanine loan (see Note 17). The loan was deemed credit deteriorated based on the terms of a modification whereby the sponsor will not fund future debt service shortfalls or capital expenditures; and (iii) a $4.9 million commercial subordinated loan secured by a department store in Chicago which was deemed credit deteriorated and was fully reserved in prior years.
Foreclosure and Equity Control
During the year ended December 31, 2025, we foreclosed on or otherwise obtained control over the following loan collateral:
In June 2025, we obtained a deed in lieu of foreclosure on a first mortgage and mezzanine loan on a life science property in Boston, Massachusetts, which resulted in our obtaining physical possession of the underlying collateral. The net carrying value of our loan related to this property (including previously accrued interest) totaled $55.7 million, net of a specific credit loss allowance of $17.2 million provided during the three months ended June 30, 2025 in accordance with a valuation provided by a third party appraisal. In connection with the foreclosure, we recorded properties of $55.7 million in accordance
with the asset acquisition provisions of ASC 805. This loan was placed on nonaccrual during the year ended December 31, 2025.

In May 2025, we obtained control over the pledged equity interests of a mezzanine borrower entity related to a multifamily property in Windermere, Florida, which resulted in our consolidating the mezzanine borrower entity including the underlying property collateral. The net carrying value of our loans related to this property totaled $83.9 million and consisted of first mortgage and mezzanine loans. In connection with the consolidation of the mezzanine borrower entity, we recorded properties of $83.9 million in accordance with the asset acquisition provisions of ASC 805. This loan was placed on nonaccrual during the year ended December 31, 2024.
In February 2025, we foreclosed on a first mortgage and mezzanine loan on a multifamily property in Conyers, Georgia. The net carrying value of our loan related to this property (including previously accrued interest) totaled $45.0 million. In connection with the foreclosure, we recorded properties of $45.0 million in accordance with the asset acquisition provisions of ASC 805. This loan was placed on nonaccrual during the year ended December 31, 2024.

Loan Modifications
We may amend or modify a loan based on its specific facts and circumstances. The modified terms and subsequent performance of the modified loans are considered in the determination of our general and specific CECL reserves. During the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, we made modifications to the commercial loans summarized below, which are disclosable under ASU 2022-02, Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures.
During the year ended December 31, 2025, we entered into a modification of a credit deteriorated commercial loan that required disclosure pursuant to ASU 2022-02. The loan was deemed credit deteriorated and placed on nonaccrual during 2025 (see related discussion above) and had an amortized cost basis of $33.2 million, representing 0.2% of our commercial loans as of December 31, 2025. We granted an other-than-insignificant payment delay in the form of an initial maturity term extension of 50 months with a one-year extension option, and eliminated the EURIBOR + 7.0% interest rate, making the existing loan non-interest bearing. We also provided an additional mezzanine loan tranche to fund capital expenditures with a total commitment of €25.6 million ($30.1 million) and a fixed interest rate of 15.0% (unfunded as of December 31, 2025). We additionally advanced $3.3 million in a related party transaction which is discussed further in Note 17.
During the year ended December 31, 2024, we entered into modifications of nine commercial loans that required disclosure pursuant to ASU 2022-02. They had a combined amortized cost basis of $1.5 billion, representing 11% of our commercial loans as of December 31, 2024. Six of these loans were collateralized by office assets and two were collateralized by mixed-use assets. We also modified a related party loan which is discussed further in Note 17.
For two loans with an aggregate amortized cost basis of $358.7 million and an unfunded commitment of $6.3 million as of December 31, 2024, we granted other-than-insignificant payment delays in the form of initial maturity term extensions for a weighted average of 30 months. We also provided additional commitments, one in the form of a mezzanine loan ($98.2 million, of which $76.6 million was unfunded as of December 31, 2024), and the other in the form of preferred equity ($30.0 million, of which $21.8 million was unfunded as of December 31, 2024).
For seven loans with an aggregate amortized cost basis of $1.1 billion and unfunded commitments of $42.6 million as of December 31, 2024, we granted a combination of other-than-insignificant payment delays in the form of initial maturity term extensions for a weighted average of 21 months, as well as deferral of a portion of interest due under one of the loans, and interest rate reductions with a weighted average of 2.36%. For certain of these loans, the interest rate reduction is partially or fully recovered in a new exit fee. In connection with four of the above loan modifications, we also provided a total of $31.5 million of preferred equity commitments (of which $29.3 million was unfunded as of December 31, 2024) and an $18.2 million junior mezzanine loan commitment (of which $8.8 million was unfunded as of December 31, 2024).
During the year ended December 31, 2023, we entered into modifications of three commercial loans that required disclosure pursuant to ASC 2022-02. They had a combined amortized cost basis of $337.6 million, representing 2% of our commercial loans as of December 31, 2023. For a $197.2 million first mortgage loan on an office park, we granted a 19-month term extension and provided a $25.1 million preferred equity commitment (of which $15.5 million was unfunded as of December 31, 2023). For a $95.5 million first mortgage loan on an office campus, the interest rate was reduced to a fixed rate of 6.00% (the reduction was partially recaptured in a new exit fee), with the borrower contributing $2.5 million. For a $44.9 million first mortgage loan on a multifamily property, the interest rate was reduced by 50 bps, and the loan was ultimately foreclosed in November 2024.
Performance of Previously Modified Loans:
Loans with modifications disclosed above were performing during the period up to twelve months since their respective modifications, except for the first mortgage loan on a multifamily property in Arizona which was foreclosed in November 2024, as mentioned above.
Other Modifications:
In connection with the loan modifications disclosed above for the year ended December 31, 2024, we restructured a $277.0 million first mortgage and mezzanine loan on a college and office condominium in Brooklyn, New York into separate loans: (i) $152.3 million for the component fully leased to a college with a 27-year remaining lease term, and (ii) $124.7 million for the vacant office component.
During the year ended December 31, 2025, in connection with the execution of a new lease, we further restructured the vacant office loan into two separate loans with extended maturities, increased interest rates and an overall increased funding commitment. The loan had an amortized cost basis of $139.6 million with an unfunded commitment of $8.8 million prior to this modification. After the modification, there are two separate loans: (i) $102.5 million (including a $53.5 million unfunded commitment) for the component fully leased to a charter school, and (ii) $99.4 million (including a $1.2 million unfunded commitment) for the vacant office component. The loan for the fully leased component was extended by 3.6 years (with two one-year extension options) and the loan on the remaining vacant space component was extended by 13 months, pending further modification upon execution of a final new lease that will bring occupancy to 100%.
While not required to be disclosed pursuant to ASU 2022-02 because the financial difficulty criteria is not met, we modified 4 and 12 loans during the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, by reducing the interest rate spread on the loans, with such reductions partially or fully recoverable by new exit fees. The amortized cost basis of these loans totaled $299.8 million and $784.9 million, respectively. Four of the loans modified in 2024 with a total amortized cost basis of $303.0 million as of December 31, 2025 had further spread reductions in 2025. In each case, the borrowers contributed additional equity in order to receive the modifications. There were no such modifications made during the year ended December 31, 2023.
