NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES AND RECONCILIATION TO GAAP NET
INCOME
The Company has four primary variables that impact its
performance: (i) Net interest margin on assets held within the
investment portfolio, (ii) realized and unrealized gains or losses
on assets held within the investment portfolio and operating
companies, including any impairment or reserve for expected credit
losses, (iii) income from the Company’s operating company
investments; and (iv) the Company’s operating expenses and
taxes.
“Earnings available for distribution” is a non-GAAP financial
measure of the Company’s operating performance, which is used by
management to evaluate the Company’s performance without taking
into account: (i) realized and unrealized gains and losses on
assets held within its investment portfolio and net unrealized
gains on MSRs held by its operating companies; (ii) non-cash
deferred compensation and non-cash interest expense; (iii)
non-capitalized transaction-related expenses; and (iv) deferred
taxes.
The Company’s definition of earnings available for distribution
excludes certain realized and unrealized losses, which although
they represent a part of the Company’s recurring operations, are
subject to significant variability and are generally limited to a
potential indicator of future economic performance. Management also
excludes deferred taxes because the Company believes deferred taxes
are not representative of current operations. With regard to
non-capitalized transaction-related expenses, management does not
view these costs as part of the Company’s core operations, as they
are considered by management to be similar to realized losses
incurred at acquisition. The Company also excluded amortization of
acquisition premium on Mortgage loans Receivable Non-capitalized
transaction-related expenses are generally legal and valuation
service costs, as well as other professional service fees, incurred
when the Company acquires certain investments, as well as costs
associated with the acquisition and integration of acquired
businesses.
Management believes that the adjustments to compute “earnings
available for distribution” specified above allow investors and
analysts to readily identify and track the operating performance of
the assets that form the core of the Company’s activity, assist in
comparing the core operating results between periods, and enable
investors to evaluate the Company’s current core performance using
the same financial measure that management uses to operate the
business. Management also utilizes earnings available for
distribution as a financial measure in its decision-making process
relating to improvements to the underlying fundamental operations
of the Company’s investments, as well as the allocation of
resources between those investments, and management also relies on
earnings available for distribution as an indicator of the results
of such decisions. Earnings available for distribution excludes
certain recurring items, such as gains and losses (including
impairment and reserves as well as derivative activities) and
non-capitalized transaction-related expenses, because they are not
considered by management to be part of the Company’s core
operations for the reasons described herein. As such earnings
available for distribution is not intended to reflect all of the
Company’s activity and should be considered as only one of the
factors used by management in assessing the Company’s performance,
along with GAAP net income which is inclusive of all of the
Company’s activities.
The Company views earnings available for distribution as a
consistent financial measure of its portfolio’s ability to generate
income for distribution to common stockholders. Earnings available
for distribution does not represent and should not be considered as
a substitute for, or superior to, net income or as a substitute
for, or superior to, cash flows from operating activities, each as
determined in accordance with GAAP, and the Company’s calculation
of this financial measure may not be comparable to similarly
entitled financial measures reported by other companies.
Furthermore, to maintain qualification as a REIT, U.S. federal
income tax law generally requires that the Company distribute at
least 90% of its REIT taxable income annually, determined without
regard to the deduction for dividends paid and excluding net
capital gains. Because the Company views earnings available for
distribution as a consistent financial measure of its ability to
generate income for distribution to common stockholders, earnings
available for distribution is one metric, but not the exclusive
metric, that the Company’s board of directors uses to determine the
amount, if any, and the payment date of dividends on common stock.
However, earnings available for distribution should not be
considered as an indication of the Company’s taxable income, a
guaranty of its ability to pay dividends or as a proxy for the
amount of dividends it may pay, as earnings available for
distribution excludes certain items that impact its cash needs.
The table below provides a reconciliation of earnings available
for distribution to the most directly comparable GAAP financial
measure (dollars in thousands, except share and per share
data):
