    REO portfolio monetization

    This year (2026)
    CurrentMaking good progress
    TargetMonetize and recycle a portion of the portfolio

    Why it matters

    Successful monetization of REO assets will free up capital for new investment opportunities and improve overall portfolio efficiency.

    We still continue to expect to monetize and recycle a portion of that portfolio this year. So in the interim, operating fundamentals continue to improve. We hope to share an update in the coming months⏳ on that.

    Q&A highlights

    6

    How did the timing of a large office loan repayment early in Q2 and new loan closings late in Q2 affect distributable earnings, and what's the outlook for the back half of the year?

    Doug explained that a chunky group of repayments occurred in the first three weeks of the quarter, including a large NYC office deal, while about 70% of new originations closed in the last three days. This timing mismatch largely drove the quarter-over-quarter drop in DE. He noted that refinancing deals often have longer closing times. For the back half, net asset growth and debt-to-equity ratio are better indicators for DE, and they will continue prudent growth.

    “So that really is the kind of short version for what drove that drop in sort of DE quarter over quarter is just largely due to timing, which, as you said in the past, is just going to be the nature of the beast as we scale and grow our balance sheet.”

    Detailed Narrative

    01

    Portfolio Growth and Credit Quality

    TRTX continued its disciplined growth strategy, closing $466 million in new loan investments during Q2, contributing to a 15% net asset growth over the past year. The portfolio's credit profile remains stable, with 69% of loans originated in 2023 or later, a 100% performing status, and an unchanged weighted average risk rating of 3.0. CECL reserves increased by $3.5 million to $80.7 million, primarily due to net asset growth.

    02

    Liability Structure Transformation

    The company executed a significant transformation of its liability structure, including the issuance of a $400 million Term Loan B, a new $100 million corporate revolving credit facility, and upsizing existing secured financing arrangements by $600 million, plus a new $500 million secured arrangement. These actions were leverage and cost of funds neutral, enhancing liquidity, financial flexibility, and diversifying the funding base with long-duration, covenant-like corporate capital.

    03

    Office Exposure Reduction

    TRTX substantially reduced its office loan exposure to 4.3% of total loan commitments as of June 30th, 2026, a significant decrease from 52.9% in June 2021. This reduction was primarily driven by repayments of legacy office loans. While no new office deals are currently signed, the company remains open to selective, high-quality office investments.

    04

    Capital Allocation and Share Repurchases

    Management views share repurchases as an attractive tool for shareholder value creation. During the quarter, TRTX repurchased 1.3 million shares of common stock for $10.8 million at an average price of $8.26 per share, with $9.3 million remaining on the authorization. This reflects a belief that the shares trade at a meaningful discount to intrinsic value.

    05

    Market Dynamics and Refinancing Activity

    The real estate market continues to be shaped by elevated interest rates and volatility, suppressing transaction activity and widening the gap between buyer and seller expectations. Lending demand is primarily driven by refinancing, particularly in multifamily and industrial sectors. The company notes that longer times from term sheet execution to closing for refinancing deals can impact expected run rates.

    06

    REO Portfolio Monetization

    The company is making good progress on its REO portfolio monetization strategy and expects to recycle a portion of this portfolio during the current year. Operating fundamentals for these assets continue to improve, and an update is anticipated in the coming months⏳.
