Granite Point Mortgage Trust Inc. Reports
Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2023 Financial Results
and Post Quarter-End Update

NEW YORK, February 14, 2024 – Granite Point Mortgage Trust Inc. (NYSE: GPMT) ("GPMT," "Granite Point" or the "Company") today announced its financial results for the quarter and full year ending December 31, 2023, and provided an update on its activities subsequent to quarter-end. A presentation containing fourth quarter and full year 2023 financial results can be viewed at www.gpmtreit.com.

“During 2023, in light of the challenging macro environment, we prudently managed our business by actively managing our loan portfolio and maintaining a strong liquidity position, actions which protected our investors’ capital”, said Jack Taylor, president and Chief Executive Officer of GPMT. “Over the course of the year, we realized over $725 million of loan repayments, paydowns and resolutions, repaid our maturing convertible notes with cash and maintained a level of leverage that remains meaningfully below our target range, given the ongoing market uncertainty. In addition, our proactive portfolio management has resulted in a reduction of our office exposure by over 30% over the last couple of years. While maintaining a defensive stance, we have opportunistically deployed capital into our own securities, and, given the attractive relative value, during 2023 we repurchased about 3.8% of our common shares, generating attractive returns and meaningful book value accretion for our shareholders.”

Fourth Quarter 2023 Activity
•Recognized GAAP Net (Loss)(1) of $(17.1) million, or $(0.33) per basic share, inclusive of a $(21.6) million, or $(0.42) per basic share, provision for credit losses.
•Generated Distributable (Loss)(2) of $(26.4) million, or $(0.52) per basic share, inclusive of a write-off of $(33.3) million, or $(0.65) per basic share. Distributable Earnings(2) before realized losses were $7.0 million, or $0.14 per basic share.
•Book value per common share was $12.91 as of December 31, 2023, inclusive of $(2.71) per common share of total CECL reserve.
•Declared and paid a cash dividend of $0.20 per common share and a cash dividend of $0.4375 per share of its Series A preferred stock.
•Funded $15.2 million in prior loan commitments and upsizes.
•Realized $255.2 million of total UPB in loan repayments, principal paydowns, amortization and loan resolutions.
•Opportunistically repurchased 1.0 million common shares, or approx. 2.0% of its common shares outstanding, resulting in book value accretion of approx. $0.16 per share.
•Resolved a $92.6 million senior loan that had been on nonaccrual status. The resolution involved a coordinated sale of the collateral property located in San Diego, CA, and the Company providing a new senior floating rate loan with a UPB of $48.8 million to the new ownership group, which invested meaningful fresh cash equity in the property. As a result of this transaction, the Company incurred a loss of approx. $(33.3) million.
•Opportunistically sold a $31.8 million senior loan collateralized by a property located in Dallas, TX. As a result of this transaction, the Company incurred a loss of approx. $(16.8) million.
•Carried at quarter-end a 98% floating rate loan portfolio with $2.9 billion in total commitments comprised of over 99% senior loans. As of December 31, 2023, portfolio weighted average stabilized LTV was 63.6%(3) and a realized loan portfolio yield was 8.3%(4).
•Weighted average loan portfolio risk rating was 2.8 at December 31, 2023, with approx. 81% of loans risk ranked 3 or better.
•Total CECL reserve at quarter-end was $137.1 million, or 4.7% of total portfolio commitments.
•Increased the borrowing capacity of the JPMorgan financing facility up to $525 million and modified other terms, resulting in additional cash proceeds to the Company of $100 million.
•Ended the quarter with over $188 million in cash on hand and a total leverage ratio(5) of 2.1x.

Full Year 2023 Activity
•Recognized GAAP Net (Loss)(1) of $(77.6) million, or $(1.50) per basic share, inclusive of a $(104.8) million, or $(2.03) per basic share, provision for credit losses.
•Generated Distributable (Loss)(2) of $(17.0) million, or $(0.33) per basic share, inclusive of write-offs of $(54.3) million, or $(1.05) per basic share. Distributable Earnings(2) before realized losses were $37.3 million, or $0.72 per basic share.
•Realized $730.2 million of total UPB in loan repayments, principal paydowns, amortization and loan resolutions, which consisted of approx. 35% office, 28% multifamily, 21% hotel, 10% industrial and 5% retail properties.
1

•During 2023, opportunistically repurchased approx. 2.0 million common shares, or approx. 3.8% of common shares outstanding, resulting in total book value accretion of approx. $0.35 per share.

(2)Please see page 6 for Distributable Earnings and Distributable Earnings before realized losses definition and a reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP financial information.
(3)Stabilized loan-to-value ratio (LTV) is calculated as the fully funded loan amount (plus any financing that is pari passu with or senior to such loan), including all contractually provided for future fundings, divided by the as stabilized value (as determined in conformance with USPAP) set forth in the original appraisal. As stabilized value may be based on certain assumptions, such as future construction completion, projected re-tenanting, payment of tenant improvement or leasing commissions allowances or free or abated rent periods, or increased tenant occupancy.
(4)Yield includes net origination fees and exit fees, but does not include future fundings, and is expressed as a monthly equivalent yield. Portfolio yield includes nonaccrual loans.
(5)Borrowings outstanding on repurchase facilities, non-mtm repurchase facility, secured credit facility, CLO’s, asset-specific financing and convertible senior notes, less cash, divided by total stockholders’ equity.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to disclosing financial results calculated in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), this press release and the accompanying earnings presentation present non-GAAP financial measures, such as Distributable Earnings and Distributable Earnings per basic common share, that exclude certain items. Granite Point management believes that these non-GAAP measures enable it to perform meaningful comparisons of past, present and future results of the Company’s core business operations, and uses these measures to gain a comparative understanding of the Company’s operating performance and business trends. The non-GAAP financial measures presented by the Company represent supplemental information to assist investors in analyzing the results of its operations. However, because these measures are not calculated in accordance with GAAP, they should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, the

financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. The Company’s GAAP financial results and the reconciliations from these results should be carefully evaluated. See the GAAP to non-GAAP reconciliation table on page 6 of this release.

(1) Beginning with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, and for all subsequent reporting periods ending on or after December 31, 2022, we have elected to present Distributable Earnings, a measure that is not prepared in accordance with GAAP, as a supplemental method of evaluating our operating performance. Distributable Earnings replaces our prior presentation of Core Earnings with no changes to the definition. In order to maintain our status as a REIT, we are required to distribute at least 90% of our taxable income as dividends. Distributable Earnings is intended to overtime serve as a general, though imperfect, proxy for our taxable income. As such, Distributable Earnings is considered a key indicator of our ability to generate sufficient income to pay our common dividends, which is the primary focus of income-oriented investors who comprise a meaningful segment of our stockholder base. We believe providing Distributable Earnings on a supplemental basis to our net income and cash flow from operating activities, as determined in accordance with GAAP, is helpful to stockholders in assessing the overall run-rate operating performance of our business.
For reporting purposes, we define Distributable Earnings as net income attributable to our stockholders, computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding: (i) non-cash equity compensation expenses; (ii) depreciation and amortization; (iii) any unrealized gains (losses) or other similar non-cash items that are included in net income for the applicable reporting period (regardless of whether such items are included in other comprehensive income or in net income for such period); and (iv) certain non-cash items and one-time expenses. Distributable Earnings may also be adjusted from time to time for reporting purposes to exclude one-time events pursuant to changes in GAAP and certain other material non-cash income or expense items approved by a majority of our independent directors. The exclusion of depreciation and amortization from the calculation of Distributable Earnings only applies to debt investments related to real estate to the extent we foreclose upon the property or properties underlying such debt investments.

While Distributable Earnings excludes the impact of the unrealized non-cash current provision for credit losses, we expect to only recognize such potential credit losses in Distributable Earnings if and when such amounts are deemed non-recoverable. This is generally at the time a loan is repaid, or in the case of foreclosure, when the underlying asset is sold, but non-recoverability may also be concluded if, in our determination, it is nearly certain that all amounts due will not be collected. The realized loss amount reflected in Distributable Earnings will equal the difference between the cash received, or expected to be received, and the carrying value of the asset, and is reflective of our economic experience as it relates to the ultimate realization of the loan. During the quarter and year ended December 31, 2023, we recorded provision for credit losses of $(21.6) million $(104.8) million, respectively, which has been excluded from Distributable Earnings, consistent with other unrealized gains (losses) and other non-cash items pursuant to our existing policy for reporting Distributable Earnings referenced above. During the quarter and year ended December 31, 2023, we recorded $1.4 million and $3.4 million, respectively, in depreciation and amortization on real estate owned and related intangibles, which has been excluded from Distributable Earnings consistent with other unrealized gains (losses) and other non-cash items pursuant to our existing policy for reporting Distributable Earnings referenced above. During the year ended December 31, 2023, we recorded a $0.2 million gain on early extinguishment of debt, which has been excluded from Distributable Earnings consistent with certain one-time events pursuant to our existing policy for reporting Distributable Earnings as a helpful indicator in assessing the overall run-rate operating performance of our business.

During the year ended December 31, 2023, we recorded $(54.3) million of realized losses on loan investments consisting of (i) $(33.3) million realized loss representing a write-off of an allowance for credit losses related to the resolution of a loan secured by an office property located in San Diego, CA, (ii) $(16.8) million realized loss representing a write-off of an allowance for credit losses related to the transfer to loans held-for-sale of a loan secured by an office property located in Dallas, TX, and (iii) $(4.2) million realized loss representing a write-off of an allowance for credit losses related to the transfer to REO of a loan secured by an office property located in Phoenix, AZ. These realized losses have been included in Distributable Earnings pursuant to our existing policy for reporting Distributable Earnings referenced above.

Distributable Earnings does not represent net income or cash flow from operating activities and should not be considered as an alternative to GAAP net income, or an indication of our GAAP cash flows from operations, a measure of our liquidity, or an indication of funds available for our cash needs. In addition, our methodology for calculating Distributable Earnings may differ from the methodologies employed by other companies to calculate the same or similar supplemental performance measures, and, accordingly, our reported Distributable Earnings may not be comparable to the Distributable Earnings reported by other companies.

We believe it is useful to our stockholders to present Distributable Earnings before realized losses to reflect our run-rate operating results as (i) our operating results are mainly comprised of net interest income earned on our loan investments net of our operating expenses, which comprise our ongoing operations, (ii) it helps our stockholders in assessing the overall run-rate operating performance of our business, and (iii) it has been a useful reference related to our common dividend as it is one of the factors we and our Board of Directors consider when declaring the dividend. We believe that our stockholders use Distributable Earnings and Distributable Earnings before realized losses, or a comparable supplemental performance measure, to evaluate and compare the performance of our company and our peers.

▪ Beginning with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, and for all subsequent reporting periods ending on or after December 31, 2022, we have elected to present Distributable Earnings, a measure that is not prepared in accordance with GAAP, as a supplemental method of evaluating our operating performance. Distributable Earnings replaces our prior presentation of Core Earnings with no changes to the definition. In order to maintain our status as a REIT, we are required to distribute at least 90% of our taxable income as dividends. Distributable Earnings is intended to overtime serve as a general, though imperfect, proxy for our taxable income. As such, Distributable Earnings is considered a key indicator of our ability to generate sufficient income to pay our common dividends, which is the primary focus of income-oriented investors who comprise a meaningful segment of our stockholder base. We believe providing Distributable Earnings on a supplemental basis to our net income and cash flow from operating activities, as determined in accordance with GAAP, is helpful to stockholders in assessing the overall run-rate operating performance of our business. ▪ For reporting purposes, we define Distributable Earnings as net income attributable to our stockholders, computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding: (i) non-cash equity compensation expenses; (ii) depreciation and amortization; (iii) any unrealized gains (losses) or other similar non-cash items that are included in net income for the applicable reporting period (regardless of whether such items are included in other comprehensive income or in net income for such period); and (iv) certain non-cash items and one- time expenses. Distributable Earnings may also be adjusted from time to time for reporting purposes to exclude one-time events pursuant to changes in GAAP and certain other material non-cash income or expense items approved by a majority of our independent directors. The exclusion of depreciation and amortization from the calculation of Distributable Earnings only applies to debt investments related to real estate to the extent we foreclose upon the property or properties underlying such debt investments. Distributable Earnings 24

 
▪ While Distributable Earnings excludes the impact of the unrealized non-cash current provision for credit losses, we expect to only recognize such potential credit losses in Distributable Earnings if and when such amounts are deemed non-recoverable. This is generally at the time a loan is repaid, or in the case of foreclosure, when the underlying asset is sold, but non-recoverability may also be concluded if, in our determination, it is nearly certain that all amounts due will not be collected. The realized loss amount reflected in Distributable Earnings will equal the difference between the cash received, or expected to be received, and the carrying value of the asset, and is reflective of our economic experience as it relates to the ultimate realization of the loan. During the quarter and year ended December 31, 2023, we recorded provision for credit losses of $(21.6) million $(104.8) million, respectively, which has been excluded from Distributable Earnings, consistent with other unrealized gains (losses) and other non- cash items pursuant to our existing policy for reporting Distributable Earnings referenced above. During the quarter and year ended December 31, 2023, we recorded $1.4 million and $3.4 million, respectively, in depreciation and amortization on real estate owned and related intangibles, which has been excluded from Distributable Earnings consistent with other unrealized gains (losses) and other non-cash items pursuant to our existing policy for reporting Distributable Earnings referenced above. During the year ended December 31, 2023, we recorded a $0.2 million gain on early extinguishment of debt, which has been excluded from Distributable Earnings consistent with certain one-time events pursuant to our existing policy for reporting Distributable Earnings as a helpful indicator in assessing the overall run-rate operating performance of our business. ▪ During the year ended December 31, 2023, we recorded $(54.3) million of realized losses on loan investments consisting of (i) $(33.3) million realized loss representing a write-off of an allowance for credit losses related to the resolution of a loan secured by an office property located in San Diego, CA, (ii) $(16.8) million realized loss representing a write-off of an allowance for credit losses related to the transfer to loans held-for-sale of a loan secured by an office property located in Dallas, TX, and (iii) $(4.2) million realized loss representing a write-off of an allowance for credit losses related to the transfer to REO of a loan secured by an office property located in Phoenix, AZ. These realized losses have been included in Distributable Earnings pursuant to our existing policy for reporting Distributable Earnings referenced above. Distributable Earnings (cont’d) 25

 
▪ Distributable Earnings does not represent net income or cash flow from operating activities and should not be considered as an alternative to GAAP net income, or an indication of our GAAP cash flows from operations, a measure of our liquidity, or an indication of funds available for our cash needs. In addition, our methodology for calculating Distributable Earnings may differ from the methodologies employed by other companies to calculate the same or similar supplemental performance measures, and, accordingly, our reported Distributable Earnings may not be comparable to the Distributable Earnings reported by other companies. ▪ We believe it is useful to our stockholders to present Distributable Earnings before realized losses to reflect our run-rate operating results as (i) our operating results are mainly comprised of net interest income earned on our loan investments net of our operating expenses, which comprise our ongoing operations, (ii) it helps our stockholders in assessing the overall run-rate operating performance of our business, and (iii) it has been a useful reference related to our common dividend as it is one of the factors we and our Board of Directors consider when declaring the dividend. We believe that our stockholders use Distributable Earnings and Distributable Earnings before realized losses, or a comparable supplemental performance measure, to evaluate and compare the performance of our company and our peers.
