Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] |
Variable Interest Entities | Variable Interest Entities Our involvement with VIEs primarily affects our financial performance and cash flows through amounts recorded in interest income, interest expense, provision for loan losses and through activity associated with our derivative instruments. Consolidated VIEs. We have determined that our operating partnership, ARLP, and our CLO and Q Series securitization entities (“Securitization Entities”) are VIEs, which we consolidate. ARLP was already consolidated in our financial statements, therefore, the identification of this entity as a VIE had no impact on our consolidated financial statements. Our Securitization Entities invest in real estate and real estate-related securities and are financed by the issuance of debt securities. We believe we hold the power necessary to direct the most significant economic activities of those entities. We also have exposure to losses to the extent of our equity interests, and rights to waterfall payments in excess of required payments to bond investors. As a result of consolidation, equity interests have been eliminated, and the consolidated balance sheets reflect both the assets held and debt issued to third parties by the Securitization Entities, prior to the unwind. Our operating results and cash flows include the gross asset and liability amounts related to the Securitization Entities as opposed to our net economic interests in those entities. The assets and liabilities related to these consolidated Securitization Entities are as follows (in thousands):
| December 31, 2023 |  | December 31, 2022
Assets: |  |  |
Restricted cash | $ | 593,956 |  |  | $ | 710,775 |
Loans and investments, net | 7,826,793 |  |  | 8,900,104 |
Other assets | 193,822 |  |  | 174,382 |
Total assets | $ | 8,614,571 |  |  | $ | 9,785,261 |
Liabilities: |  |  |
Securitized debt | $ | 6,935,010 |  |  | $ | 7,849,270 |
Other liabilities | 32,867 |  |  | 26,754 |
Total liabilities | $ | 6,967,877 |  |  | $ | 7,876,024 |
Assets held by the Securitization Entities are restricted and can only be used to settle obligations of those entities. The liabilities of the Securitization Entities are non-recourse to us and can only be satisfied from each respective asset pool. See Note 10 for details. We are not obligated to provide, have not provided, and do not intend to provide financial support to any of the Securitization Entities. Unconsolidated VIEs. We determined that we are not the primary beneficiary of 31 VIEs in which we have a variable interest at December 31, 2023 because we do not have the ability to direct the activities of the VIEs that most significantly impact each entity’s economic performance. A summary of our variable interests in identified VIEs, of which we are not the primary beneficiary, at December 31, 2023 is as follows (in thousands):
Type |  | Carrying Amount (1)
Loans |  | $ | 524,915 |
APL certificates |  | 131,137 |
B Piece bonds |  | 30,398 |
Equity investments |  | 29,876 |
Agency interest only strips |  | 162 |
Total |  | $ | 716,488 |
________________________________________ (1)Represents the carrying amount of loans and investments before reserves. At December 31, 2023, $127.9 million of loans to VIEs had corresponding specific loan loss reserves of $77.9 million. The maximum loss exposure at December 31, 2023 would not exceed the carrying amount of our investment. These unconsolidated VIEs have exposure to real estate debt of approximately $3.91 billion at December 31, 2023.
