Granite Point Mortgage Trust Inc. is a Maryland-based corporation that specializes in originating, investing in, and managing senior floating rate commercial mortgage loans and other commercial real estate debt investments. The company operates within the real estate investment trust (REIT) sector and is headquartered in New York, NY.
In its third-quarter earnings report for 2024, Granite Point Mortgage Trust Inc. reported a GAAP net loss of $34.6 million, or $0.69 per basic share. The company highlighted its active portfolio management, which included the resolution of multiple nonaccrual loans and strategic share buybacks, as key activities during the quarter.
The company faced significant headwinds this quarter, with a distributable loss of $38.0 million. Loan write-offs accounted for much of this figure, though Granite Point did see some recoveries. Notably, the company resolved a multifamily property loan in Chicago, a mixed-use property loan in Pittsburgh, and another in Los Angeles, albeit with some realized losses.
Despite challenges, Granite Point reported a book value per common share of $9.25 and maintained a predominantly senior loan portfolio. The company’s recent share repurchases have resulted in book value accretion, and it ended the quarter with $113 million in unrestricted cash.
Looking ahead, Granite Point Mortgage Trust Inc. aims to reposition its business and return to its core lending strategy. The management remains optimistic about emerging investment opportunities, driven by improving market conditions, and plans to resolve additional nonaccrual loans in the coming months.
