Third quarter 2024 GAAP net income of $1.7 million or $0.26 per basic weighted average common share and Distributable Earnings(1) of $1.9 million or $0.27 per basic weighted average common share

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla., Nov. 07, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Sunrise Realty Trust, Inc. (NASDAQ:SUNS) ("SUNS" or the "Company") today announced its results for the quarter ended September 30, 2024.

SUNS reported generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") net income of $1.7 million or $0.26 per basic weighted average common share and Distributable Earnings of $1.9 million or $0.27 per basic weighted average common share for the third quarter of 2024.

"Our strong performance this quarter highlights the continued momentum we've maintained since our listing as an independent, public company," said Brian Sedrish, the Company's Chief Executive Officer. "In the third quarter, we successfully closed $87.4 million in deals, and subsequent to quarter-end, we strengthened our capital structure with a new revolving credit facility with East West Bank, which provides an initial commitment of $50 million and can be expanded to up to $200 million in borrowing capacity. This facility enhances our flexibility to capitalize on our robust $1.2 billion pipeline, positioning us to drive long-term value for our shareholders while expanding our presence in key Southern U.S. states."

Common Stock Dividend

On October 15, 2024, the Company paid a partial cash dividend of $0.21 per common share for the third quarter of 2024. SUNS distributed $1.5 million in dividends, or $0.21 per common share, compared to Distributable Earnings of $0.27 per basic weighted average common share for such period.

In addition, the Board of Directors previously declared a regular cash dividend of $0.42 per common share for the fourth quarter of 2024, based on visibility into the growth of the Company's loan portfolio. The dividend is payable on January 15, 2025, to shareholders of record as of December 31, 2024.

New Credit Facility

On November 6, 2024, the Company entered into a senior secured revolving credit facility with East West Bank serving as agent, providing an initial $50 million in borrowing capacity, with the potential to expand up to $200 million subject to available borrowing base and lenders providing additional commitments. The revolving credit facility matures in November 2027 and bears an interest rate of SOFR plus 2.75% per annum, subject to an increase of 0.25% during months where certain conditions are not met and a SOFR floor of 2.63%.

Non-GAAP Metrics

In addition to using certain financial metrics prepared in accordance with GAAP to evaluate our performance, we also 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 activity and operations. Distributable Earnings is a measure that is not prepared in accordance with GAAP. Distributable Earnings and the other capitalized terms not defined in this section have the meanings ascribed to such terms in our most recently filed quarterly report. We use this non-GAAP financial measure both to explain our results to shareholders and the investment community and in the internal evaluation and management of our businesses. Our management believes that this non-GAAP financial measure and the information they provide are useful to investors since these measures permit investors and shareholders to assess the overall performance of our business using the same tools that our management uses to evaluate our past performance and prospects for future performance.

The determination of Distributable Earnings is substantially similar to the determination of Core Earnings under our Management Agreement, provided that Core Earnings is a component of the calculation of any Incentive Compensation earned under the Management Agreement for the applicable time period, and thus Core Earnings is calculated without giving effect to Incentive Compensation expense, while the calculation of Distributable Earnings account for any Incentive Compensation earned for such time period. We define Distributable Earnings as, for a specified period, the net income (loss) computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding (i) stock-based compensation expense, (ii) depreciation and amortization, (iii) any unrealized gains, losses or other non-cash items recorded in net income (loss) for the period, regardless of whether such items are included in other comprehensive income or loss, or in net income (loss); provided that Distributable Earnings does not exclude, in the case of investments with a deferred interest feature (such as original issue discount, debt instruments with PIK interest and zero coupon securities), accrued income that we have not yet received in cash, (iv) (decrease) increase in provision for current expected credit losses ("CECL"), (v) taxable REIT (as defined below) subsidiary ("TRS") (income) loss, net of any dividends received from TRS and (vi) one-time events pursuant to changes in GAAP and certain non-cash charges, in each case after discussions between our Manager and our independent directors and after approval by a majority of such independent directors.

We believe providing Distributable Earnings on a supplemental basis to our net income as determined in accordance with GAAP is helpful to shareholders in assessing the overall performance of our business. As a real estate investment trust ("REIT"), we are required to distribute at least 90% of our annual REIT taxable income, subject to certain adjustments, and to pay tax at regular corporate rates to the extent that we annually distribute less than 100% of such taxable income. Given these requirements and our belief that dividends are generally one of the principal reasons that shareholders invest in our common stock, we generally intend to attempt to pay dividends to our shareholders in an amount at least equal to such REIT taxable income, if and to the extent authorized by our Board of Directors. Distributable Earnings is one of many factors considered by our Board of Directors in authorizing dividends and, while not a direct measure of net taxable income, over time, the measure can be considered a useful indicator of our dividends.

Distributable Earnings is a non-GAAP financial measure and should not be considered as a substitute for GAAP net income. We caution readers that our methodology for calculating Distributable Earnings may differ from the methodologies employed by other REITs to calculate the same or similar supplemental performance measures, and as a result, our reported Distributable Earnings may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other REITs.
