Starwood Property Trust Reports Results for the Quarter and Year Ended December 31, 2017

GREENWICH, Conn., Feb. 28, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Starwood Property Trust, Inc. (NYSE: STWD) today announced operating results for the fiscal quarter and year ended December 31, 2017.  The Company's fourth quarter 2017 GAAP net income was $92.6 million, or $0.35 per diluted share, and $400.8 million, or $1.52 per diluted share, for the full year.  Core Earnings (a non-GAAP financial measure) for the fourth quarter was $144.7 million, or $0.55 per diluted share and $584.2 million, or $2.23 per diluted share, for the full year.

"We are very pleased with our performance in 2017.  Each of our business lines continued to perform exceedingly well, demonstrating the strength of our multi-cylinder platform. We grew our diversified portfolio with the deployment of $7.3 billion of capital during the year, including $4.2 billion of originations in our large loan business, an increase of 29% from prior year," commented Barry Sternlicht, Chairman and CEO of Starwood Property Trust.

"Our large loan business continues to be our primary line of business, and we ended the quarter with the highest loan balance on the books in the over eight year history of our firm.  As we expand our originations team, we have maintained credit quality while reducing the cost of our liabilities to create returns that are at or above historical levels, despite changes in the lending environment. Leveraging our diversified platform, our relationship with Starwood Capital Group, and ample liquidity, we expect to close on a record pipeline of over $2.5 billion of investments in the first quarter."

Dividend

On February 28, 2018, the Company's Board of Directors declared a dividend of $0.48 per share of common stock for the quarter ending March 31, 2018. The dividend is payable on April 13, 2018 to common stockholders of record as of March 30, 2018.

2018 Outlook

Given its current outlook, the Company is confident that it will generate Core Earnings in excess of the dividend and expects to maintain a $1.92 per share distribution for the full year.

Definition of Core Earnings

Core 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, Core 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 from successful acquisitions, depreciation and amortization of real estate and associated intangibles and any unrealized gains, losses or other non-cash items recorded in net income for the period, regardless of whether such items are included in other comprehensive income or loss, or in net income. 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.
