Exhibit 99.1 BrightSpire Capital, Inc. Announces Second Quarter 2024 Financial Results NEW YORK, July 30, 2024 – BrightSpire Capital, Inc. (NYSE: BRSP) (“BrightSpire Capital” or the “Company”) today announced its financial results for the second quarter 2024 and certain updates. The Company reported second quarter 2024 GAAP net loss attributable to common stockholders of ($67.9) million, or ($0.53) per share, Distributable Earnings of $17.0 million, or $0.13 per share, and Adjusted Distributable Earnings of $28.8 million, or $0.22 per share. The Company reported GAAP net book value of $8.41 per share and undepreciated book value of $9.08 per share as of June 30, 2024. In addition, the Board of Directors of BrightSpire Capital declared a dividend of $0.16 per share of Class A common stock with respect to the third quarter of 2024. The dividend is payable on October 15, 2024, to stockholders of record as of September 30, 2024. Michael J. Mazzei, Chief Executive Officer, commented, “The reduction in our book value this past quarter was largely driven by legacy office equity investments. Our watchlist has been stable quarter over quarter and we have gained enough visibility in resolutions to commence lending activities. However, the loss of cash earnings from these legacy equity investments is more near term versus our future loan origination timeline. Therefore, in planning for the long term, we are reducing the dividend through this reinvestment period.” Supplemental Financial Report A Second Quarter 2024 Supplemental Financial Report is available on the Shareholders – Events and Presentations section of the Company’s website at www.brightspire.com. This information will be furnished to the SEC in a Current Report on Form 8-K. We refer to “Distributable Earnings” and “Adjusted Distributable Earnings”, which are non-GAAP financial measures, in this release. A reconciliation to net income/(loss) attributable to BrightSpire Capital common stockholders, the most directly comparable GAAP measure, is included in our full detailed Second Quarter 2024 Supplemental Financial Report and is available on our website at www.brightspire.com.

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements This press release may contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws. Forward-looking statements relate to expectations, beliefs, projections, future plans and strategies, anticipated events or trends and similar expressions concerning matters that are not historical facts. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by the use of forward-looking terminology such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “expects,” “intends,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “predicts,” or “potential” or the negative of these words and phrases or similar words or phrases which are predictions of or indicate future events or trends and which do not relate solely to historical matters. Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, assumptions and contingencies, many of which are beyond our control, and may cause actual results to differ significantly from those expressed in any forward-looking statement. Among others, the following

 
uncertainties and other factors could cause actual results to differ from those set forth in the forward-looking statements: operating costs and business disruption may be greater than expected; uncertainties regarding the ongoing impact of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) and its adverse impact on the real estate market, the economy and the Company’s investments, financial condition and business operation; the Company's operating results may differ materially from the information presented in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, as well as in the Company’s other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission; the fair value of the Company's investments may be subject to uncertainties (including impacts associated with accelerating inflationary trends, recent and potential further interest rate increases, the volatility of interest rates, credit spreads and the transition from LIBOR to SOFR, increased market volatility affecting commercial real estate businesses and public securities); the Company's use of leverage and interest rate mismatches between the Company’s assets and borrowings could hinder its ability to make distributions and may significantly impact its liquidity position; the ability to simplify the portfolio, realize substantial efficiencies as well as anticipated strategic and financial benefits, including, but not limited to expected cost savings through the internalization or expected returns on equity and/or yields on investments; the timing of and ability to generate additional liquidity and deploy available liquidity, including in senior mortgage loans; whether the Company will achieve its anticipated Distributable Earnings per share (as adjusted), or maintain or produce higher Distributable Earnings per share (as adjusted) in the near term or ever; the Company’s ability to maintain or grow the dividend at all in the future; defaults by borrowers in paying debt service on outstanding indebtedness; borrowers’ abilities to manage and stabilize properties; deterioration in the performance of the properties securing our investments (including the impact of higher interest expense, depletion of interest and other reserves or payment-in-kind concessions in lieu of current interest payment obligations, population shifts and migration, reduced demand for office, multifamily, hospitality or retail space) that may cause deterioration in the performance of our investments and, potentially, principal losses to us; adverse impacts on the Company's corporate revolver, including covenant compliance and borrowing base capacity; adverse impacts on the Company's liquidity, including available capacity under and margin calls on master repurchase facilities; lease payment defaults or deferrals, demands for protective advances and capital expenditures; the ability of the Company to refinance certain mortgage debt on similar terms to those currently existing or at all; the ability to execute CRE CLO’s on a go forward basis, including at a reduced cost of capital; the impact of legislative, regulatory, tax and competitive changes, regime changes and the actions of government authorities and in particular those affecting the commercial real estate finance and mortgage industry or our business; and the impact of the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, global trade tensions, and the implementation and expansion of economic and trade sanctions. The foregoing list of factors is not exhaustive. Additional information about these and other factors can be found in Part I, Item 1A of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, as well as in BrightSpire Capital’s other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Moreover, each of the factors referenced above are likely to also be impacted directly or indirectly by the ongoing impact of COVID-19 and investors are cautioned to interpret substantially all of such statements and risks as being heightened as a result of the ongoing impact of the COVID-19. We caution investors not to unduly rely on any forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this press release. BrightSpire Capital is under no duty to update any of these forward-looking statements after the date of this press release, nor to conform prior statements to actual results or revised expectations, and BrightSpire Capital does not intend to do so.
