Colony Credit Real Estate, Inc. (NYSE: CLNC) (“Colony Credit
Real Estate” or the “Company”) today announced its financial
results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2019.
Kevin P. Traenkle, President and Chief Executive Officer of
Colony Credit Real Estate, commented, “We are pleased with our
second quarter progress towards delivering a stabilized portfolio
of core holdings. Originations activity, portfolio rationalization
efforts and quarter-over-quarter in-place core earnings growth all
continue on a positive trajectory, despite deterioration in market
conditions during the quarter impacting select non-core,
low-yielding positions within our portfolio.”
Mr. Traenkle added, “We have been prioritizing earnings growth
through the deployment of our excess liquidity and rotating out of
select assets that provided minimal and in some cases no yield.
Through new and existing borrower relationships, we’ve committed
approximately $1.2 billion in new investments year-to-date and $3.4
billion since listing 18 months ago. Over this short period, this
primary focus has resulted in an approximately 20% increase in
annualized Core Earnings excluding gains and losses from $170
million to $203 million. Our excess liquidity has been converted
primarily into high quality loans and other target assets,
generating attractive yields. The focus of management is to deliver
a stabilized steady state portfolio by continuing to drive
operating results, including new originations, portfolio management
and earnings growth.”
Mr. Traenkle continued, “From the onset of launching Colony
Credit Real Estate, the plan as articulated has consistently been
to rotate out of non-core assets, including the sale of our real
estate private equity interests and other opportunistic asset
dispositions. Significantly, the Company has reduced its exposure
to non-core assets identified at the time of listing by over 50%.
Pursuing this portfolio rationalization strategy may impact our
interim financial statements; however, we are confident in our
ability to execute the transition, continue to grow earnings and
close the gap between current share price and net asset value.”

equity funds, with approximately $21 million remaining and expected

Non-GAAP Financial Measures and
Definitions
Core Earnings
We present Core Earnings, which is a non-GAAP supplemental
financial measure of our performance. We believe that Core Earnings
provides meaningful information to consider in addition to our net
income and cash flow from operating activities determined in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States (“U.S. GAAP” or “GAAP”). This supplemental financial
measure helps us to evaluate our performance excluding the effects
of certain transactions and U.S. GAAP adjustments that we believe
are not necessarily indicative of our current portfolio and
operations. We also use Core Earnings to determine the incentive
fees we pay to our Manager. For information on the fees we pay our
Manager, see Note 11, “Related Party Arrangements” to our
consolidated financial statements included in Form 10-Q to be filed
with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). In
addition, we believe that our investors also use Core Earnings or a
comparable supplemental performance measure to evaluate and compare
the performance of us and our peers, and as such, we believe that
the disclosure of Core Earnings is useful to our investors.
We define Core Earnings as U.S. GAAP net income (loss)
attributable to our common stockholders (or, without duplication,
the owners of the common equity of our direct subsidiaries, such as
our OP) and excluding (i) non-cash equity compensation expense,
(ii) the expenses incurred in connection with our formation, (iii)
the incentive fee, (iv) acquisition costs from successful
acquisitions, (v) depreciation and amortization, (vi) any
unrealized gains or losses or other similar non-cash items that are
included in net income for the current quarter, regardless of
whether such items are included in other comprehensive income or
loss, or in net income, (vii) one-time events pursuant to changes
in U.S. GAAP and (viii) certain material non-cash income or expense
items that in the judgment of management should not be included in
Core Earnings. For clauses (vii) and (viii), such exclusions shall
only be applied after discussions between our Manager and our
independent directors and after approval by a majority of our
independent directors. Core Earnings reflects adjustments to U.S.
GAAP net income to exclude impairment of real estate and provision
for loan losses. Such impairment and losses may ultimately be
realized, in part or full, upon a sale or monetization of the
related investments and such realized losses would be reflected in
Core Earnings.
Core Earnings does not represent net income or cash generated
from operating activities and should not be considered as an
alternative to U.S. GAAP net income or an indication of our cash
flows from operating activities determined in accordance with U.S.
GAAP, a measure of our liquidity, or an indication of funds
available to fund our cash needs, including our ability to make
cash distributions. In addition, our methodology for calculating
Core Earnings may differ from methodologies employed by other
companies to calculate the same or similar non-GAAP supplemental
financial measures, and accordingly, our reported Core Earnings may
not be comparable to the Core Earnings reported by other
companies.
The Company calculates Core Earnings per share, a non-GAAP
financial measure, based on a weighted average number of common
shares and operating partnership units (held by members other than
the Company or its subsidiaries).
