Key Figures
Previous Dividends,earnings Reports
| Date | Event | Sentiment | 24h Move | Catalyst |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Feb 27 | Q4 2025 earnings | Positive | +9.2% | Profitable Q4 2025 results with full-year distributable earnings and $0.30 dividend. |

| Aug 01 | Q2 2025 earnings | Neutral | +0.4% | Q2 results with lower EPS year over year but stable $0.30 dividend. |
| May 02 | Q1 2025 earnings | Negative | -3.1% | Q1 2025 EPS decline versus 2024 and credit provisions despite maintained dividend. |

24h Move is the share-price change in the day after each event; other market factors may also have contributed.
Earnings-and-dividend releases have produced mixed reactions: several sizable selloffs on otherwise solid reports, but also one strong rally. The average move on these tagged events has been negative, suggesting investors often focus on risks (credit quality, leverage, dividend sustainability) even when earnings headlines appear constructive.
Over the past year, ABR’s recurring dividends,earnings releases have combined steady agency and structured lending activity with a consistent common dividend. Q4 2024 and multiple 2025 quarters showed positive GAAP and distributable earnings with a $0.30–$0.43 dividend, yet several of those reports saw double‑digit price declines. The new Q1 2026 update contrasts with prior periods by showing sharply lower GAAP net income and a reduced $0.17 dividend, which fits the already cautious trading profile and past volatility around results.

The Company is presenting distributable earnings because management believes it is an important supplemental measure of the Company's operating performance and is useful to investors, analysts and other parties in the evaluation of REITs and their ability to provide dividends to stockholders. Dividends are one of the principal reasons investors invest in REITs. To maintain REIT status, REITs are required to distribute at least
The Company defines distributable earnings as net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders computed in accordance with GAAP, adjusted for accounting items such as depreciation and amortization (adjusted for unconsolidated joint ventures), non-cash stock-based compensation expense, income from MSRs, amortization and write-offs of MSRs, gains/losses on derivative instruments primarily associated with Private Label loans not yet sold and securitized, changes in fair value of GSE-related derivatives that temporarily flow through earnings, deferred tax provision (benefit), CECL provisions for credit losses (adjusted for realized losses as described below) and gains/losses on the receipt of real estate from the settlement of loans (prior to the sale of the real estate). The Company also adds back one-time charges such as acquisition costs and one-time gains/losses on the early extinguishment of debt and redemption of preferred stock.
The Company reduces distributable earnings for realized losses in the period management determines that a loan is deemed nonrecoverable in whole or in part. Loans are deemed nonrecoverable upon the earlier of: (1) when the loan receivable is settled (i.e., when the loan is repaid, or in the case of foreclosure, when the underlying asset is sold); or (2) when management determines that it is nearly certain that all amounts due will not be collected. The realized loss amount is equal to the difference between the cash received, or expected to be received, and the book value of the asset.
Distributable earnings is not intended to be an indication of the Company's cash flows from operating activities (determined in accordance with GAAP) or a measure of its liquidity, nor is it entirely indicative of funding the Company's cash needs, including its ability to make cash distributions. The Company's calculation of distributable earnings may be different from the calculations used by other companies and, therefore, comparability may be limited.
