Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Apollo Commercial Real Estate Finance, Inc. reported second-quarter 2026 net income available to common stockholders of $22.7 million, or $0.11 per diluted share. Distributable Earnings prior to net realized loss on investments and loss on extinguishment of debt were $21 million, or $0.15 per diluted share, while total Distributable Earnings were a loss of $349.1 million, or ($2.62) per share, driven by a large portfolio transaction and related charges.

On April 24, 2026 the company completed the sale of its commercial real estate loan portfolio to Athene Holding Ltd. for a purchase price based on 99.7% of total loan commitments. This led to a $339.1 million net realized loss on investments and a $30.7 million loss on extinguishment of debt as secured and corporate-level facilities were repaid. The company ended the quarter with $1.24 billion of cash, debt only on its Brooklyn multifamily construction financing, and total common equity book value of about $1.1 billion or $8.47 per share.

The board declared common stock dividends of $3.75 per share for the quarter, expected to be largely classified as return of capital, and the company repurchased 8.6 million shares at a weighted-average price of $10.85. After quarter-end, it redeemed all $169 million of 7.25% Series B-1 preferred stock and filed a preliminary proxy to seek stockholder approval for a Plan of Complete Liquidation and Dissolution.

Positive

  • $1.24 billion cash balance and repayment of all secured and corporate-level debt provide significant liquidity and a simplified capital structure ahead of the proposed liquidation.
  • Redemption of $169 million of 7.25% Series B-1 preferred stock and repurchase of 8.6 million common shares at $10.85 support capital return and reduce ongoing financing costs.

Negative

  • Completion of the loan portfolio sale to Athene generated a large $339.1 million net realized loss on investments and a $30.7 million loss on extinguishment of debt.
  • Quarterly Distributable Earnings were a loss of $349.1 million, or ($2.62) per share, and book value per share declined to $8.47 after a $3.75 per share dividend.

Filing Explained

Post-sale, four REO properties remain alongside cash and REO debt; dissolution still requires a stockholder vote.

The August 10 Form 8-K furnishes second-quarter results and, following the completed loan-portfolio sale, reports four remaining real-estate-owned properties with $912 million of net assets and $541 million of net equity.

This leaves the disclosed post-sale asset base centered on property holdings and cash, with remaining real-estate debt attached to that portfolio rather than to the sold loans.

Distributable Earnings is the company’s non-GAAP measure that adjusts GAAP net income for specified items, including unrealized gains and losses, depreciation, foreign-currency items, and credit-loss provisions. The filing presents it as a supplemental performance and dividend input, while stating that it is not a substitute for GAAP net income or a GAAP liquidity measure.

The preliminary proxy remains a proposal for a special-meeting vote on dissolution, liquidation, and winding up; this filing reports neither approval nor completion of those steps.

Distributable Earnings financial
"Distributable Earnings (a non-GAAP financial measure defined below)..."
Distributable earnings are the portion of a company’s reported profits that management determines is safe to pay out to shareholders after accounting for cash needs, required reserves, and non-cash bookkeeping items. Think of it like the money left in your household budget after paying bills and putting aside savings — it shows what can realistically be handed out as dividends or distributions and helps investors judge how sustainable and reliable future payouts may be.
current expected credit losses financial
"provision for current expected credit losses."
An accounting rule that requires lenders and creditors to estimate and record expected loan losses up front, based on current information and reasonable forecasts, rather than waiting until losses actually occur. Think of it as a bank setting aside a rainy-day fund based on the weather report instead of only after storms hit; for investors this affects reported profits, reserves and capital levels and can change perceptions of a firm’s financial strength.
loss on extinguishment of debt financial
"We recognized a loss on extinguishment of debt of ~$31 million..."
Loss on extinguishment of debt is the accounting hit a company records when it retires or restructures a loan or bond for an amount that exceeds the debt’s recorded value—like paying more than the remaining balance to settle a loan early. It matters to investors because it reduces reported profit and can use cash, but may also cut future interest costs or signal financial stress; understanding it helps assess earnings quality and balance-sheet strength.
real estate owned financial
"real estate owned, held for investment, net..."
Real estate owned (REO) describes properties that a lender has taken ownership of after a borrower failed to keep up mortgage payments and the bank completed the repossession process. It matters to investors because REO shows up on a lender’s books as unsold inventory—affecting the lender’s financial health, cash flow and future profits—and presents buying opportunities or risks for real estate investors due to repair, holding, and resale costs.
Plan of Complete Liquidation and Dissolution regulatory
"in accordance with the Plan of Complete Liquidation and Dissolution"
A plan of complete liquidation and dissolution is a formal roadmap for closing a company: selling its assets, paying off debts and obligations, and then distributing any remaining cash to shareholders before legally ending the business. For investors it matters because it typically ends public trading of the company’s stock and determines whether shareholders receive any payout (and how much) — like a store closing sale where bills are paid first and whatever’s left is split among owners.
Series B-1 Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preferred Stock financial
"Completed the redemption of all outstanding shares of our 7.25% Series B-1 Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preferred Stock..."
Net income available to common stockholders $22.711 million
Net income per diluted share $0.11
Distributable Earnings prior to realized losses per diluted share $0.15
Distributable Earnings per diluted share ($2.62)
Dividend declared per common share $3.75

APOLLO COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE FINANCE, INC.

REPORTS SECOND QUARTER 2026 RESULTS

New York, NY, August 10, 2026 – Apollo Commercial Real Estate Finance, Inc. (the “Company” or “ARI”) (NYSE: ARI) today reported results for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2026.

Net income available to common stockholders per diluted share of common stock was $0.11 for the quarter ended June 30, 2026. Distributable Earnings (a non-GAAP financial measure defined below), and Distributable Earnings prior to net realized loss on investments and loss on extinguishment of debt per diluted share of common stock was ($2.62) and $0.15 for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, respectively.

ARI issued a detailed presentation of the Company’s quarter ended June 30, 2026 results, which can be viewed at www.apollocref.com.

Distributable Earnings

“Distributable Earnings,” a non-GAAP financial measure, is defined as net income available to common stockholders, computed in accordance with GAAP, adjusted for (i) equity-based compensation expense (a portion of which may become cash-based upon final vesting and settlement of awards should the holder elect net share settlement to satisfy income tax withholding), (ii) any unrealized gains or losses or other non-cash items (including depreciation and amortization related to real estate owned) included in net income available to common stockholders, (iii) unrealized income from unconsolidated joint ventures, (iv) foreign currency gains (losses), other than (a) realized gains/(losses) related to interest income, and (b) forward point gains/(losses) realized on the Company’s foreign currency hedges, and (v) provision for current expected credit losses.

As a REIT, U.S. federal income tax law generally requires the Company to distribute annually at least 90% of its REIT taxable income, without regard to the deduction for dividends paid and excluding net capital gains, and that the Company pay tax at regular corporate rates to the extent that it annually distributes less than 100% of its net taxable income. Given these requirements and the Company’s belief that dividends are generally one of the principal reasons shareholders invest in a REIT, the Company generally intends over time to pay dividends to its stockholders in an amount equal to its net taxable income, if and to the extent authorized by the Company’s board of directors. Distributable Earnings is a key factor considered by the Company’s board of directors in setting the dividend and as such the Company believes Distributable Earnings is useful to investors.

The Company believes it is useful to its investors to also present Distributable Earnings prior to realized loss on investments and realized loss on extinguishment of debt, in applicable periods, to reflect its operating results because (i) the Company’s operating results are primarily comprised of earning interest income on its investments net of borrowing and administrative costs, which comprise the Company’s ongoing operations and (ii) it has been a useful factor related to the Company’s dividend per share because it is one of the considerations when a dividend is determined. The Company believes that its investors use Distributable Earnings and Distributable Earnings prior to realized loss on investments and realized loss on extinguishment of debt or a comparable supplemental performance measure, to evaluate and compare the performance of the Company and its peers.


During the six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company recorded net realized losses on investments and extinguishment of debt in the consolidated statement of operations in connection with the sale of the Company’s commercial real estate loan portfolio (other than loans that were repaid prior to closing and one loan with a principal balance of $46 million which was repaid after closing) to Athene Holding Ltd., and a realized loss on the discounted repayment of a commercial mortgage loan.

A significant limitation associated with Distributable Earnings as a measure of the Company’s financial performance over any period is that it excludes unrealized gains (losses) from investments. In addition, the Company’s presentation of Distributable Earnings may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies, that use different calculations. As a result, Distributable Earnings should not be considered as a substitute for the Company’s GAAP net income as a measure of its financial performance or any measure of its liquidity under GAAP. Distributable Earnings are reduced for realized losses on loans which include losses that management believes are near certain to be realized.

A reconciliation of Distributable Earnings to GAAP net income (loss) available to common stockholders is included in the detailed presentation of the Company’s quarter ended June 30, 2026 results, which can be viewed at www.apollocref.com.

Footnotes 1. Distributable Earnings: Distributable Earnings is a non-GAAP financial measure that we define as net income available to common stockholders, computed in accordance with GAAP, adjusted for (i) equity-based compensation expense (a portion of which may become cash-based upon final vesting and settlement of awards should the holder elect net share settlement to satisfy income tax withholding), (ii) any unrealized gains or losses or other non-cash items (including depreciation and amortization on real estate owned) included in net income available to common stockholders, (iii) unrealized income from unconsolidated joint ventures, (iv) foreign currency gains (losses), other than (a) realized gains/(losses) related to interest income, and (b) forward point gains/(losses) realized on our foreign currency hedges, and (v) provision for current expected credit losses. Please see page 10 for a reconciliation of GAAP net income to Distributable Earnings. Distributable Earnings Prior to Net Realized Loss on Investments and Loss on Extinguishment of Debt: We believe it is useful to our investors to present Distributable Earnings prior to net realized loss on investments and loss on extinguishment of debt to reflect our operating results because (i) our operating results are primarily comprised of earning interest income on our investments net of borrowing and administrative costs, which comprise our ongoing operations and (ii) it has been a useful factor related to our dividend per share because it is one of the considerations when a dividend is determined. We believe that our investors use Distributable Earnings and Distributable Earnings prior to net realized loss on investments and loss on extinguishment of debt, or a comparable supplemental performance measure, to evaluate and compare the performance of our company and our peers. 2. Book value per share of common stock is common stockholders’ equity divided by shares of common stock outstanding. 3. Amounts and percentages may not foot due to rounding. 4. Unvested RSUs are net of incremental shares assumed repurchased under the treasury stock method, if dilutive. For the three months ended June 30, 2026 and March 31, 2026, there were 574,742 and 599,484 incremental shares included, respectively. 11
