Total liquidity stood at $107 million, total borrowings were about $1.5 billion, and the leverage ratio was 2.8x.

Insights

ACRES shows modest Q4 loss but strong loan growth, stable credit, and rising book value.

ACRES Commercial Realty posted a Q4 2025 GAAP net loss allocable to common shares of $3.0 million, or $(0.43) per diluted share, and an EAD loss of $(0.48) per share. For 2025 as a whole, net income allocable to common was only $0.2 million, indicating a low-profit year.

At the same time, the business is expanding. The CRE loan portfolio reached about $1.8 billion at par with 96.8% of loans current on payments and a 77% weighted-average loan-to-value. Multifamily represents 81.9% of loan exposure, which the company frames as a core focus area.

Risk metrics are fairly controlled: the CECL reserve is $20.4 million, or 1.11% of par, and the weighted-average risk rating improved to 2.7. Book value per share increased to $30.01 as of December 31, 2025, supported by tax assets and real estate activity, while total liquidity of $107 million and a leverage ratio of 2.8x provide funding capacity for further originations.

Key Definitions Earnings Available for Distribution: Earnings Available for Distribution (“EAD”) is a non-GAAP financial measure that the Company uses to evaluate its operating performance. EAD excludes the effects of certain transactions and GAAP adjustments that it believes are not necessarily indicative of its current CRE loan portfolio and other CRE-related investments and operations. EAD excludes income (loss) from all non-core assets comprising of investments and securities owned by the Company at the initial measurement date of December 31, 2016 in commercial finance, middle market lending, residential mortgage lending, certain legacy CRE loans and other non-CRE assets designated as assets held for sale. EAD, for reporting purposes, is defined as GAAP net income (loss) allocable to common shares, excluding (i) non-cash equity compensation expense, (ii) unrealized gains and losses, (iii) non-cash provisions for loan losses, (iv) non-cash impairments on securities, (v) non-cash amortization of discounts or premiums associated with borrowings, (vi) net income or loss from a limited partnership interest owned at the initial measurement date, (vii) net income or loss from non-core assets, (viii) real estate depreciation and amortization, (ix) foreign currency gains or losses and (x) income or loss from discontinued operations. EAD may also be adjusted periodically to exclude certain one-time events pursuant to changes in GAAP and certain non-cash items. Although pursuant to the Fourth Amended and Restated Management Agreement the Company calculates the Manager’s incentive compensation using EAD excluding incentive fees payable to the Manager, the Company includes incentive fees payable to the Manager in EAD for reporting purposes. Secured Overnight Finance Rate: Secured Overnight Finance Rate (“SOFR”) refers to the collective one-month Term Secured Overnight Finance Rate that are used as benchmarks on the originated loans. Book Value : Book value is presented per common share, excluding unvested restricted stock and including warrants to purchase common stock. The measure refers to common stock book value, which is calculated as total stockholders’ equity less preferred stock equity. Leverage ratio is calculated as the respective period ended borrowings over total equity. Asset-specific leverage ratio excludes corporate debt from the calculation. Leverage Ratio: ACRESREIT.COM Current Expected Credit Losses: Current Expected Credit Losses (‘CECL”) refers to the provision to earnings in order to estimate expected losses.

Other Disclosures Rating 1: Property performance has surpassed underwritten expectations Occupancy is stabilized, the property has had a history of consistently high occupancy, and the property has a diverse and high-quality tenant mix Rating 2: Property performance is consistent with underwritten expectations and covenants and performance criteria are being met or exceeded Occupancy is stabilized, near stabilized or is on track with underwriting Rating 3: Property performance lags behind underwritten expectations Occupancy is not stabilized and the property has some tenancy rollover Rating 4: Property performance significantly lags behind underwritten expectations. Performance criteria and loan covenants have required occasional waivers Occupancy is not stabilized and the property has a large amount of tenancy rollover Rating 5: Property performance is significantly worse than underwritten expectations. The loan is not in compliance with loan covenants and performance criteria and may be in default. Expected sale proceeds would not be sufficient to pay off the loan at maturity The property has a material vacancy rate and significant rollover of remaining tenants An updated appraisal is required upon designation and updated on an as-needed basis CRE loans are collateralized by a diversified mix of real estate properties and are assessed for credit quality based on the collective evaluation of several factors, including but not limited to: collateral performance relative to underwritten plan, time since origination, current implied and/or re-underwritten loan-to-collateral value ratios, loan structure and exit plan. Depending on the loan’s performance against these various factors, loans are rated on a scale from 1 to 5, with loans rated 1 representing loans with the highest credit quality and loans rated 5 representing loans with the lowest credit quality. The factors evaluated provide general criteria to monitor credit migration in the Company’s loan portfolio; as such, a loan’s rating may improve or worsen, depending on new information received. The criteria set forth below should be used as general guidelines, and therefore not every loan will have all of the characteristics described in each category below.
