ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read together with the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 filed with the SEC on February 28, 2022 including the “Risk Factors” section and consolidated financial statements and notes included therein. The following discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements and involves numerous risks and uncertainties. Actual results may differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year ended December 31, 2022 or for any other period. Unless the context otherwise requires, references to “Broadmark Realty,” the “Company,” “we,” “us” and “our” refer to Broadmark Realty Capital Inc., a Maryland corporation, and its consolidated subsidiaries.
Broadmark Realty is an internally managed commercial real estate finance company that has elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Based in Seattle, Washington, we specialize in underwriting, funding, servicing and managing a portfolio of short-term, first deed of trust loans to fund the construction and development of, or investment in, residential or commercial properties. We categorize our loans into the following distinct purposes:
•Vertical Construction: Loans which fund the building or installing of vertical improvements on real property.
•Horizontal Development: Loans which fund the building or installing of horizontal improvements on real property including initial site preparation, ground clearing, installing utilities, and road, sidewalk and gutter paving.
•Acquisition: Loans which fund the acquisition of a property where the intent is generally subsequent financing.
•Land Entitlement: Loans which fund the entitlement of land and to obtain zoning, permitting or legal use to further develop the property.
•Rehabilitation: Loans which fund the renovation or improvement of the physical existence of a real property.
•Bridge: Loans collateralized by completed properties used by borrowers to lease and stabilize an asset with sufficient cashflows to obtain permanent financing.
•Investment: Loans which do not fit into the other purposes described above such as a cash out refinance or partnership buyout.
We generally operate in states that we believe to have favorable demographic trends and that provide more efficient and quicker access to collateral in the event of borrower default. Beginning in early 2021, we have increased the number of states in which we operate in order to expand our potential lending markets and we plan to be a nationwide lender in the future. As of March 31, 2022, our portfolio of 227 active loans had approximately $1.6 billion of total commitments and $952.7 million of principal outstanding across 175 borrowers in 20 states and the District of Columbia. We refer to loans that have outstanding commitments or principal balances that have not been repaid or retired, including by foreclosure, as “active loans.” Total commitments refer to the aggregate sum of outstanding principal balances, construction holdbacks and committed amounts for future draws and interest reserves on our loans. Historically, our loan portfolio was 100% equity funded, and we had no outstanding debt. On November 12, 2021, we closed the private placement of $100.0 million aggregate principal amount of 5.0% senior unsecured notes due 2026. We plan to opportunistically issue debt and raise capital in the public and private markets from time to time based on market conditions to fund the growth of our portfolio and produce attractive returns for our stockholders. On February 19, 2021, we closed on a $135.0 million revolving credit facility, which has enabled us to use a larger percentage of our cash balances for lending activities.

Properties securing our loans are generally classified as residential properties, commercial properties or undeveloped land, and are typically not income producing. Each loan is secured by a first deed of trust lien on real estate. Our lending policy limits the committed amount of each loan to a maximum loan-to-value (“LTV”) ratio of up to 65% of the “as-complete” appraised value of the underlying collateral as determined by an independent appraiser at the time of the loan origination. Our lending policy also limits the initial outstanding principal balance of each loan to a maximum LTV of up to 65% of the “as-is” appraised value of the underlying collateral as determined by an independent appraiser at the time of the loan origination. At the time of origination, the difference between the initial outstanding principal and the total commitment is the amount held back for future release, subject to property inspections, progress reports and other conditions in accordance with the loan documents. Unless otherwise indicated, LTV is measured by the total commitment amount of the loan at origination divided by the “as-complete” appraisal. LTVs do not reflect interim activity such as construction draws or interest payments capitalized to loans, or partial repayments of the loan. As of March 31, 2022, the weighted average LTV was 59.2% across our active loan portfolio, based on the total commitment of the loan and “as-complete” appraisals. For our loans in contractual default status as of March 31, 2022, the weighted average LTV was approximately 80.2%, when measured by the sum of the principal outstanding, the estimated costs to complete and the accounts receivable for which collectability is reasonably assured, divided by the most recent “as-complete” appraisal. In addition, our loans are typically personally guaranteed on a recourse basis by the principals of the borrower or others at our discretion to provide further credit support for the loan. The personal guarantee may also be secured by collateral through a pledge of the guarantor’s interest in other real estate or assets owned by the guarantor. As of March 31, 2022, a total of 26 loans were in contractual default, totaling $187.8 million in total commitment or 11.8% of the portfolio based on total commitment.
As of March 31, 2022, the weighted average total commitment of our active loans was $7.0 million, with a weighted average interest rate of 10.4%. The weighted average term of our active loans was 18 months at origination, which we often elect to extend for several months based on our evaluation of the expected timeline for completion of construction. We usually receive loan origination fees, or “points,” which as of March 31, 2022 had a weighted average fee of 3.3% of total commitment at origination, along with loan amendment and extension fees, each of which varies in amount based upon the term of the loan, the credit quality of the borrower and the loan otherwise satisfying our underwriting criteria. In addition, we charge late fees on past due receivables and receive reimbursements from borrowers for costs associated with services provided by us, such as closing costs, collection costs on defaulted loans and construction draw inspection fees.
As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, we experienced an adverse impact on our loan portfolio, primarily in the form of a significant increase in defaulted loans and a slow-down in construction progress. For example, delays in local government permitting and inspections arising from measures to limit the spread of COVID-19 delayed some projects, adversely affecting the ability of borrowers to complete the projects in accordance with the terms of the loans. We experienced an increase in delinquencies and requests for extensions or forbearance. In addition, market conditions have increased the timeline to resolve non-performing loans. Delays in repayment of our outstanding loans or sales of foreclosed properties reduce the capital available for future loan originations.
The U.S. and global economy began reopening in 2021 and wider distribution of effective vaccines for COVID-19 encouraged greater economic activity. Nonetheless, the recovery could remain uneven, particularly given uncertainty with respect to the distribution and acceptance of the vaccines and their effectiveness in preventing the spread of COVID-19, including its new variant strains. There remains significant uncertainty regarding the timing and duration of the economic recovery, which precludes any prediction as to the ultimate adverse impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on economic and market conditions. There remain shortages in raw materials, manufactured products and labor across industries that are resulting in longer construction timelines and rising prices, which are dampening a full economic recovery within the construction industry. The prolonged duration and impact of the COVID-19 pandemic could continue to negatively impact our business, financial performance and operating results.

As a result of limited residential housing supply, net migration trends and a low interest rate environment, we have seen an increase in new parties entering the real estate lending market as economic conditions have stabilized from the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Such new entrants, as well as existing lenders, have been aggressively pursuing yields. This has resulted in increased competition and pricing pressure on our business, which has driven, and we expect will continue to drive, increased variability in the amount of our loan originations from quarter-to-quarter and the yields we are able to achieve on new loans. Historically, we primarily competed on the basis of borrower relationships, loan structure, terms and service rather than on price; however, competitive conditions have led us in some cases to originate loans with terms that deviate from our historical practice, such as a reduction in or absence of minimum interest provisions in our mortgage notes, which in turn reduce the interest income we earn on those loans. Starting in the second quarter of 2021, we adopted a dynamic pricing model, in which we determine credit risk for prospective loans utilizing categories such as experience of the borrower, amount of new capital being contributed by the borrower or guarantors to the project and strength of the underlying collateral. Under the dynamic pricing model, originated loans that we underwrite as lower credit risk receive lower annual rates or loan origination fees than loans that we deem as higher credit risk. To the extent that competitive conditions lead us to originate a greater percentage of loans containing annual fees or loan origination fees at the lower end of our historic ranges, our interest and fee income and financial performance could be adversely affected. We expect these trends related to the competitive environment to continue.
Key Indicators of Financial Condition and Operating Performance
In assessing the performance of our business, we consider a variety of financial and operating metrics, which include both GAAP and non-GAAP metrics, including the following:
Interest income earned on our loans. A primary source of our revenue is interest income earned on our loan portfolio. As of March 31, 2022, our loans bear a weighted average interest rate of 10.4%, paid monthly, primarily from interest reserves and, to a much lesser extent, cash payments. Certain of our mortgage notes provide for minimum interest provisions, to which the contractual rate applies, which is typically between 50% and 70% of the face amount of the note until the outstanding principal under the note exceeds a minimum threshold. A reduction in or absence of minimum interest provisions in our mortgage notes and an increase in the amount of our loans in non-accrual status as a result of being in contractual default reduce our effective interest-bearing principal and the interest income we earn on our loans. The effective interest-bearing principal represents the principal balance outstanding plus the excess of minimum interest provisions over the actual principal outstanding and minus the principal balance outstanding on non-accrual status. As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the effective interest-bearing principal net of non-accrual principal was $895.3 and $840.1 million, respectively. This represents the principal balance outstanding of $952.7 and $924.7 million plus the excess of minimum interest provisions over the actual principal outstanding of $9.4 and $17.3 million less the non-accrual principal of $66.8 and $101.9 million as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. We expect the trend of lower effective interest-bearing principal than historic levels to continue in subsequent quarters as a result of the absence of minimum interest provisions in new originations and loans in non-accrual status.
Fees and other revenue recognized from originating and servicing our loans. Fee income is comprised of loan origination and amendment fees, loan renewal and extension fees, late fees, inspection fees and exit fees. The majority of fee income is comprised of loan origination fees, or “points,” which as of March 31, 2022, had a weighted average fee of 3.3% of the total commitment at origination. In addition to origination fees, we earn loan extension fees when maturing loans are renewed or extended and amendment fees when loan terms are modified, such as increases in interest reserves and construction holdbacks in line with our underwriting criteria or upon modification of a loan for the transition from horizontal development to vertical construction. Loans are generally only renewed or extended if the loan is not in default and satisfies our underwriting criteria, including our maximum LTV ratio of up to 65% of the appraised value, as determined by an independent appraiser at the time of loan origination, or based on an updated appraisal, if required. Loan origination and renewal fees are deferred and recognized in income over the contractual maturity of the underlying loan.
Loan originations. Our operating performance is heavily dependent upon our ability to originate new loans to invest new capital and re-invest returning capital from the repayment of loans. The dollar amounts of loan originations reflect the total commitment at origination and loan repayments reflect the total commitment at payoff. Given the short-term nature of our loans, loan principal is generally repaid on a faster basis than to other types of lenders, making redeployment of capital through our originations process an important factor in our success.

(1)Represents the year of either origination or amendment where the loan incurred a full re-underwriting in connection with the amendment.
(2)Includes $0.9 million in loan specific allowances for loans deemed collateral dependent based on the excess amortized cost over the fair value of the underlying collateral. In addition, $1.1 million of the CECL allowance is excluded from this table because it relates to unfunded commitments and has been recorded as a liability under accounts payable and accrued liabilities in our condensed consolidated balance sheet.

(1)Represents the year of either origination or amendment where the loan incurred a full re-underwriting in connection with the amendment.
(2)Represents LTV as of origination or latest amendment. LTVs above 65% generally represent loans in contractual default status where we have agreed to extend funds to the borrower above 65% in order to ensure successful completion of the construction and return of capital.
(3)Includes $0.9 million in loan specific allowances for loans deemed collateral dependent based on the excess amortized cost over the fair value of the underlying collateral. In addition, $1.1 million of the CECL allowance is excluded from this table because it relates to unfunded commitments and has been recorded as a liability under accounts payable and accrued liabilities in our condensed consolidated balance sheet.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Distributable Earnings
We have elected to present “distributable earnings” and “distributable earnings prior to realized loss on investments” as supplemental non-GAAP financial measures used by management to evaluate our operating performance. We define distributable earnings as net income attributable to common stockholders adjusted for: (i) impairment recorded on our investments; (ii) unrealized gains or losses on our investments (including provision for credit losses) and warrant liabilities; (iii) new public company transition expenses; (iv) non-capitalized transaction-related and other one-time expenses; (v) non-cash stock-based compensation; (vi) depreciation and amortization including amortization of our intangible assets; and (vii) deferred taxes, which are subject to variability and generally not indicative of future economic performance or representative of current operations.
During the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, provision for credit losses, net was $1.7 and $2.7 million, respectively, which has been excluded from distributable earnings consistent with other unrealized gains (losses) pursuant to our policy for reporting distributable earnings. We expect to recognize such potential credit losses in distributable earnings if and when such amounts are deemed nonrecoverable upon a realization event. This is generally upon charge-off of principal at the time of loan repayment or upon sale of real property owned by us and the amount of proceeds is less than the principal outstanding at the time of foreclosure.

Management believes that the adjustments to compute “distributable earnings” specified above allow investors and analysts to readily identify and track the operating performance of our assets, assist in comparing the operating results between periods, and enable investors to evaluate our current performance using the same measure that management uses to operate the business. Distributable earnings excludes certain recurring items, such as unrealized gains and losses (including provision for credit losses) and non-capitalized transaction-related expenses, because they are not considered by management to be part of our primary operations for the reasons described herein. However, management has elected to also present distributable earnings prior to realized loss on investments because it believes the Company’s investors use such measure to evaluate and compare the performance of the Company and its peers. As such, distributable earnings and distributable earnings prior to realized loss on investments are not intended to reflect all of our activity and should be considered as only one of the factors used by management in assessing our performance, along with GAAP net income which is inclusive of all of our activities.
As a REIT, we are required to distribute at least 90% of our annual REIT taxable income 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 stockholders invest in our common stock, we generally intend to attempt to pay dividends to our stockholders in an amount equal to our net taxable income, if and to the extent authorized by our board of directors. Distributable earnings and distributable earnings prior to realized loss on investments are one of many factors considered by our board of directors in declaring dividends and, while not direct measures of taxable income, over time, the measures can be considered useful indicators of our dividends.
Distributable earnings and distributable earnings prior to realized loss on investments do not represent, and should not be considered as a substitute for, or superior to, net income or as a substitute for, or superior to, cash flows from operating activities, each as determined in accordance with GAAP, and our calculation of these measures may not be comparable to similarly entitled measures reported by other companies.
The table below is a reconciliation of distributable earnings and distributable earnings prior to realized loss on investments to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure:

Comparison of Results of Operations
Unless otherwise stated, for purposes of this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, the comparison of the results of operations is for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and March 31, 2021.

Table of Contents
Broadmark Realty Capital Inc.
Revenue
Total revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 was $29.9 and $29.5 million, respectively, an increase of $0.4 million. The increase primarily relates to an increase in interest income of $2.1 million, partially offset by a decrease in fee income of $1.7 million, which are discussed in more detail below.
Expenses
Total expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 were $10.0 and $6.4 million, respectively. The increase primarily relates to increases in interest expense, compensation and employee benefits and general and administrative expenses of $1.8, $1.6 and $0.2 million, respectively, which are discussed in more detail below.
Interest Income
Interest income increased by $2.1 million, or 9.5%, for the three months ended March 31, 2022 from the three months ended March 31, 2021, primarily due to an increase of 8% in the average size of our loan portfolio in the 2022 period compared to the 2021 period as a result of (1) the increase in the amount of capital deployed into new originations, (2) the increase in the size of our loan portfolio resulting from our purchase of loan participations in August 2021 in connection with the liquidation of the Private REIT and (3) a higher average effective interest-bearing principal outstanding during the 2022 period compared to the 2021 period as a result of a lower percentage of the loan portfolio being on non-accrual status. These increases were partially offset by the effect of lower fixed rate interests and no minimum interest provisions on loans recently originated.
Fee Income
Fee income decreased by $1.7 million, or 22.7%, for the three months ended March 31, 2022 from the three months ended March 31, 2021, primarily due to lower weighted average origination fees on loans recently originated due to increased competition in the marketplace along with a lower volume of amendment and extension fees during the 2022 period compared to the 2021 period as fewer loans were extended beyond their maturity date due to construction delays. The decreases were partially offset by increases resulting from increases in our loan portfolio for the reasons discussed above in “Interest Income”.
Compensation and Employee Benefits
Compensation and employee benefits expense increased by $1.6 million, or 47.4%, for the three months ended March 31, 2022 from the three months ended March 31, 2021, primarily due to an increase of $1.5 million resulting from increased incentive compensation, higher employee headcount and wages, and relocation expenses associated with hiring the new chief executive officer during the 2022 period compared to the 2021 period.
General and Administrative
General and administrative expense remained relatively flat with an increase of $0.2 million, or 7.5%, for the three months ended March 31, 2022 from the three months ended March 31, 2021. The increase was primarily due to an increase of $0.3 million in recruiting expenses associated with hiring the new chief executive officer during the 2022 period. This increase was partially offset by a $0.2 million decrease in professional services during the 2022 period compared to the 2021 period as a result of the higher costs incurred in 2021 for the implementation of the CECL standard and the first year of auditor testing of internal controls under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.
Interest Expense
Interest expense increased by $1.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 from the three months ended March 31, 2021, primarily due to increases during the 2022 period compared to the 2021 period of $1.4 million in interest expense and amortization of deferred financing costs for our senior unsecured notes issued during the fourth quarter of 2021 and $0.4 million as a result of full quarter of expenses in 2022 related to the undrawn fees and amortization of deferred financing costs for our revolving credit facility issued in February 2021.

Broadmark Realty Capital Inc.
Provision for Credit Losses, Net
The provision for credit losses decreased $1.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 from the three months ended March 31, 2021. This decrease primarily resulted from an increase in acquisition and investment type loans with lower construction risk as well as a decrease in loans in contractual default in the 2022 period compared to the 2021 period.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Overview
Our primary liquidity needs include ongoing commitments to fund our lending activities and future funding obligations for our existing loan portfolio, paying dividends and funding other general business needs. Our material cash requirements from known contractual and other obligation are set forth in Note 10 - Commitment and Contingencies of our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Report. As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, our cash and cash equivalents totaled $97.4 and $132.9 million, respectively. As of March 31, 2022 and 2021, our total liquidity includes not only cash and cash equivalents, but our entire undrawn revolving credit facility of $135.0 million.
We seek to meet our long-term liquidity requirements, such as real estate lending needs, including future construction draw commitments, primarily through our existing cash resources and return of capital from investments, including loan repayments. Additionally, we intend to use borrowings under our revolving credit facility from time to time as a cash management tool in between collecting loan repayments. We expect to opportunistically issue debt and raise capital in the public and private markets from time to time based on market conditions. As of March 31, 2022, we had $1.6 billion of total loan commitments outstanding, of which we have funded $952.7 million.
Debt-to-Equity Ratio

Revolving Credit Facility
On February 19, 2021, we entered into a credit agreement with a syndicate of lenders and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent for the lenders, providing for a $135.0 million revolving credit facility. As a source of backup liquidity for future draws, the availability of the revolving credit facility has enabled us to use a larger percentage of our cash balances for lending activities. In October 2021, we made our first use of our revolving credit facility, with a draw of $50.0 million to support the funding of borrower draws and new loan originations while we awaited several large loan repayments. We then repaid the outstanding balance on our revolving credit facility in full by October 31, 2021 following the receipt of such loan repayments, minimizing the cost of such borrowing while earning fee income on the new borrower draws and loan originations. These events demonstrate the value of our revolving credit facility as a cash management tool.
Our obligations under the revolving credit facility are secured by substantially all of our assets. The revolving credit facility contains covenants customary for financings of this type, including limitations on the incurrence of indebtedness, liens, asset dispositions, acquisitions, mergers and consolidations, certain dividends, distributions and other payments, advances and investments, payments to affiliates, optional prepayments and other modifications of certain other indebtedness, and amendments, terminations and waivers of certain material agreements, as well as a minimum tangible net worth, a total debt to equity ratio and a minimum debt service coverage ratio requirement. Among other things, the credit agreement provides that we may not pay cash dividends that would result in non-compliance with the financial covenants under the credit agreement or during an event of default under the credit agreement, except in the case of defaults other than payment defaults, for dividends in the amounts necessary to maintain our REIT status. The revolving credit facility contains events of default customary for financings of this type, including failure to pay principal, interest and other amounts, materially incorrect representations or warranties, failure to observe covenants and other terms of the revolving credit facility, cross-defaults to other indebtedness, bankruptcy, insolvency, material judgments, certain ERISA violations, changes in control and failure to maintain REIT status, in some cases subject to customary grace periods.

Broadmark Realty Capital Inc.
Senior Unsecured Notes
On November 12, 2021, we completed a private offering of $100.0 million of senior unsecured notes. Interest on the notes accrues at the fixed rate of 5.00% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears. The notes may be prepaid prior to their maturity date, subject to the payment of applicable premiums. The note purchase agreement contains financial covenants that require compliance with leverage and coverage ratios and maintenance of minimum tangible net worth, as well as other affirmative and negative covenants that may limit, among other things, our ability to incur liens and enter into mergers or transfer all or substantially all of our assets. The note purchase agreement governing the notes also includes customary representations and warranties and customary events of default.
Equity Offering Program
On March 2, 2021, we entered into a distribution agreement with J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, Barclays Capital Inc., B. Riley Securities, Inc., JMP Securities LLC and Raymond James & Associates, Inc. as sales agents, to sell shares of our common stock having an aggregate gross sales price of up to $200,000,000, from time to time, through an “at-the-market” equity offering program (the “ATM Program”). We have no obligation to sell any shares under the ATM Program and sold no shares under the ATM Program during the three months ended March 31, 2022.
We believe our existing sources of liquidity are sufficient to fund our existing commitments. To the extent funds available for new loans are limited, we will manage our capital deployment based on the receipt of payoffs and may from time-to-time use borrowings under our revolving credit facility. As a key component of our growth strategy going forward, we plan to raise capital from time to time subject to market conditions, which may include additional debt financing. We intend to maintain a conservative balance sheet and debt to equity ratio. Under our credit agreement for our revolving credit facility, we must maintain a total debt to equity ratio that does not exceed 30%.
As a REIT, we are required to distribute at least 90% of our annual REIT taxable income to our stockholders, including taxable income where Broadmark Realty does not receive corresponding cash. We intend to distribute all or substantially all of our REIT taxable income in order to comply with the REIT distribution requirements of the Code and to avoid U.S. federal income tax and the non-deductible excise tax.

Comparison of Results of Cash Flows for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2022 and March 31, 2021
Net cash provided by operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 were $14.6 and $16.3 million, respectively. Net cash provided by operating activities is driven by our net income adjusted for non-cash items and changes in operating assets and liabilities. The $1.7 million decrease in cash provided by operating activities in the 2022 period compared to the 2021 period was primarily due to the $1.6 million increase in compensation and employee benefits, the reasons for which are discussed in more detail above in the “Comparison of Results of Operations.” The reconciliations between net income and cash provided by operating activities in the consolidated statement of cash flows include adjustments to net income for non-cash items that, while fluctuating between the 2022 and 2021 periods, have no effect on cash that was provided by operating activities.

Net cash used in investing activities was $21.8 and $3.8 million, respectively for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021. The increase in cash used in investing activities of $18.0 million was primarily due to higher principal outstanding under our mortgage notes receivable between the 2022 and 2021 periods partially offset by the $5.0 million increase in proceeds from sale of real property.
Net cash used in financing activities was $28.2 and $31.6 million, respectively for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021. The decrease in cash used in financing activities of $3.4 million was primarily due to the $5.1 million payment of costs to obtain our revolving credit facility in the 2021 period, partially offset by a $1.4 million increase in dividends paid in the 2022 period compared to the 2021 period.
