NEW YORK–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Ladder Capital Corp (NYSE:LADR) (“we,” “Ladder,” or the “Company”) today
announced operating results for the quarter ended December 31, 2018.
GAAP income before taxes for the three months and year ended
December 31, 2018 was $27.8 million and $228.3 million, respectively,
compared to $48.4 million and $133.6 million for the three months and
year ended December 31, 2017, respectively. The Diluted EPS for the
three months and year ended December 31, 2018 was $0.24 and $1.84,
respectively, compared to $0.40 and $1.13 for the three months and year
ended December 31, 2017, respectively. After-tax GAAP return on average
equity was 6.9% in the fourth quarter of 2018 and 13.5% for the year.
Core earnings, a non-GAAP financial measure, was $52.5 million for the
fourth quarter of 2018, compared to $60.4 million earned in the fourth
quarter of 2017. For the year ended December 31, 2018, core earnings was
$230.1 million compared to $178.8 million for the comparable period in
2017. Core EPS, a non-GAAP financial measure, was $0.45 for the fourth
quarter of 2018 and $2.03 for the year ended December 31, 2018, compared
to $0.47 and $1.54 for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31,
2017, respectively. We believe core earnings and core EPS are useful in
evaluating our earnings from operations across reporting periods as
discussed in the Non-GAAP Financial Measures section of this earnings
release.
The favorable calendar year over year earnings variances, on both GAAP
and core bases, reflect higher gains on sale of real estate partially
offset by lower realized gains (losses) on sale of loans and securities.
The quarterly results for the three months ended December 31, 2018
compared to the comparable period in the prior year reflect higher gains
on sales of loans in the fourth quarter of 2017, when we earned $29.9
million on a GAAP basis or $30.6 million on a core basis on sales of
loans in 6 securitization transactions.
Dividend Announcement
Ladder today announced the declaration by its Board of Directors
(“Board”) of a first quarter 2019 dividend of $0.34 per share of Class A
common stock. The cash dividend is payable on April 1, 2019 to
stockholders of record as of the close of business on March 11, 2019.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We present core earnings, core EPS, and after-tax core return on average
equity (“after-tax core ROAE”), which are non-GAAP financial measures,
as supplemental measures of our performance. We believe core earnings,
core EPS and after-tax core ROAE assist investors in comparing our
performance across reporting periods on a more relevant and consistent
basis by excluding certain non-cash expenses and unrecognized results as
well as eliminating timing differences related to securitization gains
and changes in the values of assets and derivatives. We use core
earnings, core EPS and after-tax core ROAE: (i) to evaluate our earnings
from operations and (ii) because management believes that they may be
useful performance measures for us. In addition, core earnings is used
as a factor in determining the annual incentive compensation of our
senior managers and other employees.
We consider the Class A common shareholders of the Company and limited
partners of Ladder Capital Finance Holdings LLLP other than Ladder
Capital Corp (“Continuing LCFH Limited Partners”) to have fundamentally
equivalent interests in our pre-tax earnings and net income.
Accordingly, for purposes of computing core earnings, core EPS and
after-tax core ROAE, we start with pre-tax earnings or net income and
adjust for other noncontrolling interest in consolidated joint ventures
but we do not adjust for amounts attributable to noncontrolling interest
held by Continuing LCFH Limited Partners. Similarly, when calculating
undepreciated book value per share we include total shareholders’ equity
and the noncontrolling interest held by Continuing LCFH Limited
Partners, but exclude noncontrolling interest in consolidated joint
ventures.
Core earnings
We define core earnings as income before taxes adjusted for (i) real
estate depreciation and amortization, (ii) the impact of derivative
gains and losses related to the hedging of assets on our balance sheet
as of the end of the specified accounting period, (iii) unrealized
gains/(losses) related to our investments in fair value securities and
passive interest in unconsolidated joint ventures, (iv) economic gains
on securitization transactions not recognized under GAAP accounting for
which risk has substantially transferred during the period and the
exclusion of resultant GAAP recognition of the related economics during
the subsequent periods, (v) non-cash stock-based compensation and (vi)
certain transactional items.
For core earnings, we include adjustments for economic gains on
securitization transactions not recognized under GAAP accounting for
which risk has substantially transferred during the period and exclusion
of resultant GAAP recognition of the related economics during the
subsequent periods. This adjustment is reflected in core earnings when
there is a true risk transfer on the mortgage loan transfer and
settlement. Historically, this has represented the impact of economic
gains/(discounts) on intercompany loans secured by our own real estate
which we had not previously recognized because such gains were
eliminated in consolidation. Conversely, if the economic risk was not
substantially transferred, no adjustments to net income would be made
relating to those transactions for core earnings purposes. Management
believes recognizing these amounts for core earnings purposes in the
period of transfer of economic risk is a reasonable supplemental measure
of our performance.
We do not designate derivatives as hedges to qualify for hedge
accounting and therefore any net payments under, or fluctuations in the
fair value of, our derivatives are recognized currently in our income
statement. However, fluctuations in the fair value of the related assets
are not included in our income statement. We consider the gain or loss
on our hedging positions related to assets that we still own as of the
reporting date to be “open hedging positions.” While recognized for GAAP
purposes, we exclude the results on the hedges from core earnings until
the related asset is sold and the hedge position is considered “closed,”
whereupon they would then be included in core earnings in that period.
These are reflected as “adjustments for unrecognized derivative results”
for purposes of computing core earnings for the period. We believe that
excluding these specifically identified gains and losses associated with
the open hedging positions adjusts for timing differences between when
we recognize changes in the fair values of our assets and changes in the
fair value of the derivatives used to hedge such assets.
Our investments in Agency interest-only securities and equity securities
are recorded at fair value with changes in fair value recorded in
current period earnings. We believe that excluding these specifically
identified gains and losses associated with the fair value securities
adjusts for timing differences between when we recognize changes in the
fair values of our assets.
Core EPS
Core EPS is defined as after-tax core earnings divided by the adjusted
weighted average diluted shares outstanding during the period. The
adjusted weighted average diluted shares outstanding is defined as the
GAAP weighted average diluted shares outstanding, adjusted for shares
issuable upon conversion of all Class B shares, if excluded from the
GAAP measure because they would have an anti-dilutive effect. The
inclusion of shares issuable upon conversion of Class B shares is
consistent with the inclusion of income attributable to noncontrolling
interest in operating partnership in core earnings and after-tax core
earnings.

after-tax core earnings, and an unaudited computation of core EPS ($ in
