PORTFOLIO CREDIT QUALITY ▪ Defensively-positioned and broadly-diversified portfolio of 100% CRE loans (over 99% senior first mortgages) with weighted average stabilized LTV of 63.5%(2). ▪ Strong collections of interest through February 2022, with 100% of borrowers making their contractual payments in accordance with loan agreements(3). ▪ Weighted average risk rating of 2.6 at December 31, 2021, unchanged from prior quarter. ▪ CECL reserve of approx. 1.01% of total portfolio commitments, down from approx. 1.63% year-over-year, reflecting an ongoing portfolio shift driven by new loan originations, loan repayments, asset resolution and improvement in the credit profile of select loans. PORTFOLIO ACTIVITY ▪ Actively reviewing and quoting a significant volume of attractive loan investment opportunities with a current forward pipeline of senior floating-rate loans of approx. $285 in total commitments and initial fundings of over $250 million, that have either closed or are in the closing process, subject to fallout. ▪ So far in Q1 2022, funded $83 million of total principal balance, including approx. $22 million on existing loan commitments(4). ▪ Continuous portfolio shift towards newly originated loans improves sensitivity to rising short-term interest rates and reduces the portfolio weighted average LIBOR floor, which has declined from 1.56% in Q4’20 to 1.17% in Q4’21. CAPITALIZATION & LIQUIDITY ▪ Expanded the permanent equity base to over $1 billion through a $90 million add-on preferred offering, bringing total preferred stock issued to approx. $205 million, providing growth capital and an ability to recapitalize the balance sheet while reducing secured higher-cost debt. ▪ Further reduced the borrowings under the senior secured term loan facilities to $100 million through an incremental $50 million repayment; incurred a charge on early extinguishment of debt of approx. $(5.8) million, or $(0.11) per share, which will be reflected in Q1’22 results. ▪ Current cash balance of approx. $149 million plus approx. $62 million of unencumbered senior whole loans available to be pledged to financing facilities, subject to lender approval.(4) Company Business Update(1) 3 (1) All information contained in this presentation is as of December 31,2021, unless otherwise noted.

FINANCIAL SUMMARY ▪ Q4 GAAP earnings(1) per basic share of $0.13, including $(0.17) per share charge on early extinguishment of debt. ▪ FY 2021 GAAP earnings(1) per basic share of $1.24, including $0.37 per share reduction of CECL reserves. ▪ Q4 Distributable Earnings(2) per basic share of $0.24. ▪ FY 2021 Distributable Earnings(2) per basic share of $0.99. ▪ Q4 common cash dividend per share of $0.25; Series A preferred cash dividend per share of $0.15069. ▪ Book value per common share of $16.70, inclusive of $(0.79) CECL reserve; $1.00 of common dividends per share in 2021. PORTFOLIO ACTIVITY ▪ In Q4, closed on $248.6 million of loan commitments and funded $268.7 million in total UPB including prior commitments and loan upsizings. Funded approx. $824.3 million in total loan principal balance in 2021. ▪ Received loan repayments and principal amortization of $145.3 million in Q4 and $960.3 million(3) in 2021. PORTFOLIO OVERVIEW ▪ Portfolio of $4.2 billion in total commitments comprised of over 99% senior loans with a weighted average stabilized LTV of 63.5%(2) and a weighted average yield at origination of LIBOR + 4.07%(2). ▪ Portfolio is over 98% floating rate with a weighted average LIBOR floor of 1.17%. ▪ Reduced CECL reserve by $20.0 million year-over-year to $42.4 million at December 31, 2021, or 1.01% of total loan commitments. General CECL reserve of $20.3 million, or 0.5% of loan commitments. CAPITALIZATION & LIQUIDITY ▪ During 2021, increased the percentage of non-mark-to-market financing to over 75% of total borrowings by issuing two CRE CLOs totaling approx. $1.4 billion at attractive terms. ▪ Expanded the permanent capital base through an inaugural offering of approx. $115 million of attractively priced preferred stock, providing additional balance sheet flexibility. ▪ Repaid $75 million of the $225 million principal outstanding under the term loan, reducing total leverage and the amount of higher-cost debt. Incurred a charge on early extinguishment of debt of approx. $(8.9) million, or $(0.17) per share. ▪ During 2021, opportunistically repurchased 1.3 million common shares, resulting in book value accretion. ▪ Ended Q4 with over $190 million in cash on hand and total net-debt-to-equity leverage of 2.7x.

LIBOR floor of 1.17%, which is currently benefiting the net interest margin. • Approximately 31% of the portfolio is subject to a LIBOR floor of less than 0.50%. • Portfolio LIBOR floor declined approximately 0.40% since Q1’21 as the assets shift from older vintage loans with higher floors to new loans with lower floors, which has helped reduce sensitivity of net interest income to rising short-term rates. • Reducing higher-cost debt and growing the portfolio could further offset the impact of rising short-term interest rates. 1.56% 1.57% 1.55% 1.30% 1.17% 1.00% 1.20% 1.40% 1.60% Q4 2020 Q1 2021 Q2 2021 Q3 2021 Q4 2021 WEIGHTED AVERAGE LIBOR FLOOR BY LOAN VINTAGE 5.2% 2.7% 10.2% 22.9% 36.8% 4.1% 18.1% 0.0% 10.0% 20.0% 30.0% 40.0% 0.0% 0.5% 1.0% 1.5% 2.0% 2.5% 3.0% 2015 2016 2017 2018 2019 2020 2021 % o f P o rt fo li o 1 -M o n th U .S .

Opportunities to Reduce Cost of Funds and Release Growth Capital 11 • Several opportunities may exist to potentially reduce our cost of funds and release capital to support portfolio growth by further repositioning of our balance sheet. • The $200 million of attractively priced preferred stock we recently issued provides additional permanent equity, which helps meaningfully recapitalize the balance sheet and support growth of the investment portfolio. As an internally-managed REIT, GPMT realizes the benefits of improved operating leverage driven by growth in our equity base with a mostly fixed cost structure. • The $125 million in total repayments of higher-cost term loan borrowings we made in Q4’21 and Q1’22 will help reduce our funding costs. • Returning to target leverage levels would afford additional portfolio growth and any newly originated loans would likely increase the portfolio’s overall correlation to rising short-term interest rates. REPAYING HIGHER-COST DEBT • The $75 million partial repayment of the term loan in December 2021 affected only part the Q4’21 financial results period. The incremental $50 million repayment in February 2022 will affect only part of the Q1’22 financial results period. • Repayment of the remaining $100 million of borrowings outstanding under the term loan could potentially further reduce overall funding costs. REDEPLOYING CAPITAL FROM NON- ACCRUAL LOANS • Various potential resolutions of the non-accrual loans could release investable capital, which could be redeployed into new loan originations to grow the investment portfolio. REFINANCING LEGACY FUNDING VEHICLES • Certain legacy financing vehicles have substantially de-levered due to loan repayments. • Refinancing these de-levered vehicles could potentially release additional liquidity, which could be deployed into additional new loan investments.

▪ Beginning with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, and for all subsequent reporting periods ending on or after December 31, 2021, we have elected to present Distributable Earnings, a measure that is not prepared in accordance with GAAP, as a supplemental method of evaluating our operating performance. Distributable Earnings replaces our prior presentation of Core Earnings with no changes to the definition. In order to maintain our status as a REIT, we are required to distribute at least 90% of our taxable income as dividends. Distributable Earnings is intended to serve as a general proxy for our taxable income, though it is not a perfect substitute for it, and, as such, is considered a key indicator of our ability to generate sufficient income to pay our common dividends and in determining the amount of such dividends, which is the primary focus of income-oriented investors who comprise a meaningful segment of our stockholder base. We believe providing Distributable Earnings on a supplemental basis to our net income (loss) and cash flow from operating activities, as determined in accordance with GAAP, is helpful to stockholders in assessing the overall performance of our business. ▪ We use Distributable Earnings to evaluate our performance, excluding the effects of certain transactions and GAAP adjustments we believe are not necessarily indicative of our current loan portfolio and operations. For reporting purposes, we define Distributable Earnings as net income (loss) attributable to our stockholders, computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding: (i) non- cash equity compensation expenses; (ii) depreciation and amortization; (iii) any unrealized gains (losses) or other similar non-cash items that are included in net income for the applicable reporting period (regardless of whether such items are included in other comprehensive income (loss) or in net income for such period); and (iv) certain non-cash items and one-time expenses. Distributable Earnings may also be adjusted from time to time for reporting purposes to exclude one-time events pursuant to changes in GAAP and certain other material non-cash income or expense items approved by a majority of our independent directors. The exclusion of depreciation and amortization from the calculation of Distributable Earnings only applies to debt investments related to real estate to the extent we foreclose upon the property or properties underlying such debt investments. Distributable Earnings 22


 
▪ While Distributable Earnings excludes the impact of the unrealized non-cash current provision for credit losses, we expect to only recognize such potential credit losses in Distributable Earnings if and when such amounts are deemed non-recoverable. This is generally at the time a loan is repaid, or in the case of foreclosure, when the underlying asset is sold, but non-recoverability may also be concluded if, in our determination, it is nearly certain that all amounts due will not be collected. The realized loss amount reflected in Distributable Earnings will equal the difference between the cash received, or expected to be received, and the carrying value of the asset, and is reflective of our economic experience as it relates to the ultimate realization of the loan. During the year ended December 31, 2021, we recorded a $20.0 million benefit from provision for credit losses, which has been excluded from Distributable Earnings consistent with other unrealized gains (losses) and other non-cash items pursuant to our existing policy for reporting Distributable Earnings referenced above. Pursuant to our existing policy for reporting Distributable Earnings referenced above, during the year ended December 31, 2021, we recorded a $(9.7) million realized loss on a loan held-for investment, which we included in Distributable Earnings because we did not collect all amounts due at the time the loan was repaid. During the year ended December 31, 2021, we recorded a $(8.9) million loss on early extinguishment of debt, which has been excluded from Distributable Earnings consistent with certain one-time expenses pursuant to our existing policy for reporting Distributable Earnings as a helpful indicator in assessing the overall run-rate operating performance of our business. ▪ Distributable Earnings does not represent net income (loss) or cash flow from operating activities and should not be considered as an alternative to GAAP net income (loss), or an indication of our GAAP cash flows from operations, a measure of our liquidity, or an indication of funds available for our cash needs. In addition, our methodology for calculating Distributable Earnings may differ from the methodologies employed by other companies to calculate the same or similar supplemental performance measures, and, accordingly, our reported Distributable Earnings may not be comparable to the Distributable Earnings reported by other companies. Distributable Earnings (cont’d) 23


 
Other Definitions 24 All-in Yield at Origination ▪ Provided for illustrative purposes only. Calculations of all-in yield at origination are based on a number of assumptions (some or all of which may not occur) and are expressed as monthly equivalent yields that include net origination fees and exit fees and exclude future fundings and any potential or completed loan amendments or modifications. Calculations of all-in weighted average yield at origination exclude fixed rate loans. Cash Coupon ▪ Cash coupon does not include origination or exit fees. Future Fundings ▪ Fundings to borrowers of loan principal balances under existing commitments on our loan portfolio. Initial LTV ▪ The initial loan amount (plus any financing that is pari passu with or senior to such loan) divided by the as is appraised value (as determined in conformance with USPAP) as of the date the loan was originated set forth in the original appraisal. Net Income Attributable to Common Stockholders ▪ GAAP net income (loss) attributable to our common stockholders after deducting dividends attributable to our cumulative redeemable preferred stock. Original Term (Years) ▪ The initial maturity date at origination and does not include any extension options and has not been updated to reflect any subsequent extensions or modifications, if applicable. Pre-Provision, Pre-Loss Earnings ▪ Net interest income, less operating expenses and provision for income taxes. Recourse Leverage ▪ Borrowings outstanding on repurchase facilities, asset-specific financings, convertible senior notes and senior secured term loan facilities, less cash, divided by total stockholders’ equity. Senior Loans ▪ “Senior” means a loan primarily secured by a first priority lien on commercial real property and related personal property and also includes, when applicable, any companion subordinate loans. Stabilized LTV ▪ The fully funded loan amount (plus any financing that is pari passu with or senior to such loan), including all contractually provided for future fundings, divided by the as stabilized value (as determined in conformance with USPAP) set forth in the original appraisal. As stabilized value may be based on certain assumptions, such as future construction completion, projected re-tenanting, payment of tenant improvement or leasing commissions allowances or free or abated rent periods, or increased tenant occupancies. Total Leverage ▪ Borrowings outstanding on repurchase facilities, securitized debt obligations, asset-specific financings, convertible senior notes and senior secured term loan facilities, less cash, divided by total stockholders’ equity.
