We think our portfolio is well positioned - our watch list decreased to three assets at quarter-end, and was further reduced to only one asset as of today."
Further commenting on the Company's results, Michael Comparato, President of FBRT, added, “Our Q1 origination activity was strategically measured, but we took advantage of market opportunities, adding loans at a weighted average spread of 580 basis points. We have ample liquidity, our pipeline is strong, and we will continue to selectively deploy capital to enhance stockholder returns."

Approximately 76% of the portfolio is collateralized by multifamily properties. The Company's exposure to office loans is 6%. During the quarter, two loans were removed from FBRT's watch list and no new positions were foreclosed.
Conduit: For the quarter ended March 31, 2023, the Company did not have any conduit activity.
Allowance for credit losses: During the quarter, FBRT recognized an incremental provision for credit losses of approximately $4.4 million.

Share Repurchase Program
The Company has previously authorized a $65 million share repurchase program. During the quarter, the Company repurchased 313,411 shares of FBRT's common stock at an average gross price of $11.70 per share, inclusive of any broker's fees or commissions, for an aggregate of $3.7 million. Subsequent to quarter end, the Company repurchased an additional 363,422 shares of FBRT's common stock at an average gross price of $12.35 per share, inclusive of any broker's fees or commissions, for an aggregate of $4.5 million. As of April 28, 2023, $40.3 million remains available under the $65 million share repurchase program.
Subsequent Event
On April 18, 2023, the Company announced the successful completion of the sale of the Williamsburg hotel, FBRT’s Brooklyn hotel loan. The sale closed for a total sale price of $96 million, comprising cash and new indebtedness. As a result of the sale, the Company received the full principal amount of the loan and approximately $20 million of additional proceeds after payment of all related closing expenses. As such, the loan has been removed from watch list.
Distributable Earnings and Run-Rate Distributable Earnings
Distributable Earnings is a non-GAAP measure, which the Company defines as GAAP net income (loss), adjusted for (i) non-cash CLO amortization acceleration and amortization over the expected useful life of the Company's CLOs, (ii) unrealized gains and losses on loans, derivatives and residential adjustable-rate mortgage pass-through securities ("ARM Agency Securities" or "ARMS"), including CECL reserves and impairments, (iii) non-cash equity compensation expense, (iv) depreciation and amortization, (v) non-cash subordinated performance fee accruals, (vi) loan workout charges, (vii) realized gains and losses on debt extinguishment, (viii) certain other non-cash items, and (ix) impairments of acquisition assets related to the Capstead merger. Further, Run-Rate Distributable Earnings, a non-GAAP measure, presents Distributable Earnings before trading and derivative gain/loss on ARMs.
The Company believes that Distributable Earnings and Run-Rate Distributable Earnings provide meaningful information to consider in addition to the disclosed GAAP results. The Company believes Distributable Earnings is a useful financial metric for existing and potential future holders of its common stock as historically, over time, Distributable Earnings has been an indicator of dividends per share. As a REIT, the Company generally must distribute annually at least 90% of its taxable income, subject to certain adjustments, and therefore believes dividends are one of the principal reasons stockholders may invest in its common stock. Further, Distributable Earnings helps investors evaluate performance excluding the effects of certain transactions and GAAP adjustments that the Company does not believe are necessarily indicative of current loan portfolio performance and the Company's operations and is one of the performance metrics the Company's board of directors considers when dividends are declared. The Company believes Run-Rate Distributable Earnings is a useful financial metric because it presents the Distributable Earnings of its core businesses, net of the impacts of the realized trading and derivative gain/loss on the residential adjustable-rate mortgage securities acquired from Capstead, which the Company is actively in the process of liquidating from its portfolio.
Distributable Earnings and Run-Rate Distributable Earnings do not represent net income (loss) and should not be considered as an alternative to GAAP net income (loss). The methodology for calculating Distributable Earnings and Run-Rate Distributable Earnings may differ from the methodologies employed by other companies and thus may not be comparable to the Distributable Earnings reported by other companies.
Please refer to the financial statements and reconciliation of GAAP Net Income to Distributable Earnings and Run-Rate Distributable Earnings included at the end of this release for further information.
Supplemental Information
The Company has published a supplemental earnings presentation for the quarter ended March 31, 2023 on its website to provide additional disclosure and financial information. These materials can be found on FBRT’s website at http://www.fbrtreit.com under the Presentations tab.
1 Fully converted per share information in this press release assumes applicable conversion of the Company's series of outstanding convertible preferred stock into common stock and full vesting of the Company's outstanding equity compensation awards.

27 Definitions Distributable Earnings and Run-Rate Distributable Earnings Distributable Earnings is a non-GAAP measure, which the Company defines as GAAP net income (loss), adjusted for (i) non-cash CLO amortization acceleration and amortization over the expected useful life of the Company's CLOs, (ii) unrealized gains and losses on loans, derivatives and residential adjustable-rate mortgage pass-through securities ("ARM Agency Securities" or "ARMs"), including CECL reserves and impairments, (iii) non-cash equity compensation expense, (iv) depreciation and amortization, (v) non-cash subordinated performance fee accruals, (vi) loan workout charges, (vii) realized gains and losses on debt extinguishment, (viii) certain other non-cash items, and (ix) impairments of acquisition assets related to the Capstead merger. Further, Run-Rate Distributable Earnings, a non-GAAP measure, presents Distributable Earnings before trading and derivative gain/loss on ARMs. The Company believes that Distributable Earnings and Run-Rate Distributable Earnings provide meaningful information to consider in addition to the disclosed GAAP results. The Company believes Distributable Earnings is a useful financial metric for existing and potential future holders of its common stock as historically, over time, Distributable Earnings has been an indicator of dividends per share. As a REIT, the Company generally must distribute annually at least 90% of its taxable income, subject to certain adjustments, and therefore believes dividends are one of the principal reasons stockholders may invest in its common stock. Further, Distributable Earnings helps investors evaluate performance excluding the effects of certain transactions and GAAP adjustments that the Company does not believe are necessarily indicative of current loan portfolio performance and the Company's operations and is one of the performance metrics the Company's board of directors considers when dividends are declared. The Company believes Run-Rate Distributable Earnings is a useful financial metric because it presents the Distributable Earnings of its core businesses, net of the impacts of the realized trading and derivative gain/loss on the residential adjustable-rate mortgage securities acquired from Capstead, which the Company is actively in the process of liquidating from its portfolio. Distributable Earnings and Run-Rate Distributable Earnings do not represent net income (loss) and should not be considered as an alternative to GAAP net income (loss). The methodology for calculating Distributable Earnings and Run-Rate Distributable Earnings may differ from the methodologies employed by other companies and thus may not be comparable to the Distributable Earnings reported by other companies.
