GRANITE POINT MORTGAGE TRUST INC.
Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements


Note 1. Organization and Operations
Granite Point Mortgage Trust Inc., or the Company, is an internally managed real estate finance company that focuses primarily on directly originating, investing in and managing senior floating-rate commercial mortgage loans and other debt and debt-like commercial real estate investments. These investments are capitalized by accessing a variety of funding options, including borrowing under the Company’s bank credit facilities or other asset-specific financings, issuing commercial real estate collateralized loan obligations, or CRE CLOs, entering into term financing agreements, and issuing other forms of secured and unsecured debt and equity securities, depending on market conditions and the Company’s view of the most appropriate funding option available for the Company’s investments. The Company is not in the business of buying or trading securities, and the only securities it owns are the retained interests from its CRE CLOs. The Company’s investment objective is to preserve the Company’s stockholders’ capital while generating attractive risk-adjusted returns over the long term, primarily through dividends derived from current income produced by the Company’s investment portfolio. The Company’s common stock is listed on the New York Stock Exchange, or NYSE, under the symbol “GPMT”. The Company operates its business in a manner that is intended to permit it to maintain its exclusion from registration under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, or the Investment Company Act. The Company operates its business as one segment. The Company was incorporated in Maryland on April 7, 2017, and commenced operations as a publicly traded company on June 28, 2017.
The Company has elected to be treated as a real estate investment trust, or REIT, as defined under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the Code, for U.S. federal income tax purposes. As long as the Company continues to comply with a number of requirements under federal tax law and maintains its qualification as a REIT, the Company generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income taxes to the extent that the Company distributes its taxable income to its stockholders on an annual basis and does not engage in prohibited transactions. However, certain activities that the Company may perform may cause it to earn income which will not be qualifying income for REIT purposes. The Company has designated one of its subsidiaries as a taxable REIT subsidiary, or TRS, as defined in the Code, to engage in such activities.
Note 2. Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies
Consolidation and Basis of Presentation
The interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, have been condensed or omitted according to such SEC rules and regulations. However, management believes that the disclosures included in these interim condensed consolidated financial statements are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021. In the opinion of management, all normal and recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial condition of the Company at March 31, 2022, and results of operations for all periods presented, have been made. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2022 should not be construed as indicative of the results to be expected for future periods or the full year.
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company include the accounts of all subsidiaries; inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.
All entities in which the Company holds investments that are considered VIEs for financial reporting purposes were reviewed for consolidation under the applicable consolidation guidance. Whenever the Company has both the power to direct the activities of an entity that most significantly impact the entity’s performance, and the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits of the entity that could be significant, the Company consolidates the entity.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make a number of significant estimates. These include estimates of amount and timing of allowances for credit losses, fair value of certain assets and liabilities, and other estimates that affect the reported amounts of certain assets and liabilities as of the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of certain revenues and expenses during the reported period. It is likely that changes in these estimates (e.g., valuation changes to the underlying collateral of loans due to changes in market capitalization rates, leasing, credit worthiness of major tenants, occupancy rates, availability of financing, exit plan, loan sponsorship, actions of other lenders, overall economic and capital markets conditions, the broader commercial real estate market, local geographic sub-markets or other factors) will occur in the near term. As the novel coronavirus, or COVID-19, pandemic has evolved from its emergence in early 2020, so has its global impact. The longer-term macroeconomic effects on
5



GRANITE POINT MORTGAGE TRUST INC.
Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
global supply chains, inflation, labor shortages and wage increases continue to impact many industries, including those related to the collateral underlying certain of the Company’s loans. Moreover, with the potential for new strains of COVID-19 to emerge, governments and businesses may re-impose aggressive measures to help slow its spread in the future. For this reason, among others, as the COVID-19 pandemic continues, the potential global impacts are uncertain and difficult to assess. The Company believes the estimates and assumptions underlying its condensed consolidated financial statements are reasonable and supportable based on the information available as of March 31, 2022. However, uncertainty over the ultimate impact COVID-19 will have on the global economy generally, and the Company’s business in particular, makes any estimates and assumptions as of March 31, 2022, inherently less certain than they would be absent the current and potential impacts of COVID-19. The Company’s actual results could ultimately differ from its estimates and such differences may be material.
Significant Accounting Policies
Included in Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, is a summary of the Company’s significant accounting policies. Provided below is a summary of additional accounting policies that are significant to the Company’s condensed consolidated financial condition and results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2022.
Recently Issued and/or Adopted Accounting Standards
Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures
In March 2022, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, issued ASU 2022-02, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures, or ASU 2022-02. The intention of ASU 2022-02 is to simplify the guidance surrounding loan modifications and restructurings and to eliminate the accounting guidance related to TDR. The new guidance deviates from TDR guidance as disclosures are now based on whether a modification or restructuring with a borrower experiencing financial difficulty results in principal forgiveness, an interest rate reduction, a significant payment delay or term extension as opposed to simply a concession. The new guidance requires disclosure by class of financing receivables, of the types of modifications, the financial effects of those modifications and the performance of those modified receivables in the last twelve months. As it relates to ASC 326-20 the Company is now allowed to use any acceptable method to determine credit losses as a result of modification or restructuring with a borrower experiencing financial difficulty. ASU 2022-02 also requires disclosure of gross write-offs recorded in the current period, on a year-to-date basis, by year of origination in the vintage disclosures. ASU 2022-02 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022. Entities are able to early adopt these amendments and have the ability to early adopt the TDR enhancements separately from the vintage disclosures. The Company has not yet adopted this ASU and will continue to evaluate the effects of adoption.
Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting
In March 2020, FASB issued ASU No. 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting, or ASU No. 2020-04, which provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to debt instruments, derivatives, and other contracts that reference the London Interbank Offered Rate, or LIBOR, or other reference rates expected to be discontinued as a result of reference rate reform. This guidance is optional and may be elected through December 31, 2022, using a prospective application on all eligible contract modifications. The Company has loan agreements and debt agreements that incorporate LIBOR as a referenced interest rate. It is difficult to predict what effect, if any, the phase-out of LIBOR and the use of alternative benchmarks may have on the Company’s business or on the overall financial markets. The Company has not adopted any of the optional expedients or exceptions through March 31, 2022, but will continue to evaluate the possible adoption of any such expedients or exceptions.
Note 3. Loans Held-for-Investment, Net of Allowance for Credit Losses
The Company originates and acquires commercial real estate debt and related instruments generally to be held as long-term investments. These assets are classified as “loans held-for-investment” on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Loans held-for-investment are reported at cost, net of any unamortized acquisition premiums or discounts, loan fees, origination costs and allowance for credit losses, as applicable.

Allowance for Credit Losses
Subsequent to the adoption of ASU 2016-13 on January 1, 2020, to estimate and recognize an allowance for credit losses on loans held-for-investment and the related unfunded commitments, the Company continues to use a third party licensed probability-weighted analytical model. The Company employs quarterly updated macroeconomic forecasts, which reflect expectations for overall economic output, interest rates, values of real estate properties and other factors, including the ongoing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the overall U.S. economy and commercial real estate markets generally. Significant inputs to the Company’s estimate of the allowance for credit losses include loan specific factors such as debt service coverage ratio, or DSCR, loan to value ratio, or LTV, remaining contractual loan term, property type and others. As part of the quarterly review of the portfolio, the Company assesses the expected repayment date of each loan, which is used to determine the contractual term for purposes of computing the CECL reserve. In certain instances, for loans with unique risk and credit characteristics, the Company may instead elect to employ different methods to estimate an allowance for credit losses that also conform to ASU 2016-13 and related guidance.
As of March 31, 2022, the Company recognized an allowance for credit losses related to its loans held-for-investment of $34.2 million, which reflects a write-off of $10.1 million on a loan held-for-investment and a total increase in the provision for credit losses of $3.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The increase of $3.4 million includes an additional $2.1 million of reserve on the loan prior to write-off. The remaining increase in the Company’s provision for credit losses was related to changes in the portfolio mix and implementing in its analysis a more conservative macroeconomic forecast driven by an elevated uncertainty for macroeconomic outlook due to inflationary pressures, continuing supply chain disruptions, interest rate volatility and other factors.
The allowance for credit losses related to the Company’s loans held-for-investment is deducted from the amortized cost basis of related loans, while the allowance for credit losses related to off-balance sheet unfunded commitments on existing loans

is recorded as a component of other liabilities on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets. As of March 31, 2022, the Company recognized $1.8 million in other liabilities related to the allowance for credit losses on unfunded commitments and recorded a provision for credit losses of $0.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. Changes in the provision for credit losses for both loans held-for-investment and their related unfunded commitments are recognized through net income on the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income.
The following table presents the changes for the three months ended March 31, 2022, and 2021 in the allowance for credit losses on loans held-for-investment:

Generally, loans held-for-investment are placed on nonaccrual status when delinquent for more than 90 days or earlier when determined not to be probable of full collection. Interest income recognition is suspended when loans are placed on nonaccrual status.
During the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company resolved a senior loan that had an outstanding unpaid principal balance of $54.0 million. The loan had been previously placed on nonaccrual status. The Company recognized a write-off of $10.1 million on the sale of the loan.
As of March 31, 2022, the Company had one senior loan with a total unpaid principal balance of $114.1 million and carrying value of $99.5 million that is held on nonaccrual status. No other loans were considered past due and no other loans were held on nonaccrual status as of March 31, 2022.

Loan Risk Ratings
The Company’s primary credit quality indicators are its risk ratings. The Company evaluates the credit quality of each loan at least quarterly by assessing the risk factors of each loan and assigning a risk rating based on a variety of factors. Risk factors include property type, geographic and local market dynamics, physical condition, leasing and tenant profile, projected cash flow, loan structure and exit plan, LTV, project sponsorship and other factors deemed necessary. Risk ratings are defined as follows:
1 –Lower Risk
2 –Average Risk
3 –Acceptable Risk
4 –Higher Risk: A loan that has exhibited material deterioration in cash flows and/or other credit factors, which, if negative trends continue, could be indicative of probability of principal loss.
5 –Loss Likely: A loan that has a significantly increased probability of principal loss.
