10-Q
BXMT’s Q2 2025 10-Q shows a modest return to profitability but continued credit-loss pressure. Net income for the quarter reached $7.0 million ($0.04 per share) versus a $60.2 million loss in Q2 2024, driven by a 70% smaller CECL provision ($45.6 million vs. $152.4 million) and $38.8 million of new revenue from real-estate-owned (REO) assets. Six-month results improved to $6.6 million profit from a $183.4 million loss last year.
Top-line softness continues. Interest and related income fell 23% YoY to $359.5 million as loan yields normalized. Net interest income declined 25% to $94.8 million, partially offset by REO rent and hospitality revenue. Operating expenses jumped to $78.4 million (Q2 2024: $33.3 million) largely due to $47.8 million of REO property costs.
Balance-sheet shifts. Total assets rose 4% since year-end to $20.6 billion, with loans receivable net up 3.6% to $19.0 billion. The CECL reserve edged up to $740.9 million (3.9% of gross loans). Equity fell 4.7% to $3.62 billion after two $0.47 quarterly dividends ($161.9 million) and $31.7 million of share buybacks (171.6 million shares outstanding).
Funding mix evolving. BXMT issued $831 million of CLO/securitized debt and drew $2.5 billion on secured facilities, lifting secured debt 10% to $10.7 billion and securitized debt 29% to $2.5 billion, while repaying $0.9 billion of asset-specific debt. Liquidity improved: cash increased to $388 million.
Key takeaways for investors:
- Return to positive EPS but earnings remain thin.
- CECL provision materially lower, signalling stabilising credit but reserve still sizable.
- Interest income contraction highlights margin pressure.
- Higher REO holdings (book value $615 million) create both rental upside and cost drag.
- Shareholder returns maintained via dividend and buybacks, funded with higher leverage.
Il 10-Q del secondo trimestre 2025 di BXMT mostra un modesto ritorno alla redditività ma una continua pressione sulle perdite da crediti. L'utile netto del trimestre ha raggiunto 7,0 milioni di dollari (0,04 dollari per azione) rispetto a una perdita di 60,2 milioni nel Q2 2024, grazie a una riduzione del 70% della riserva CECL (45,6 milioni contro 152,4 milioni) e a 38,8 milioni di nuovi ricavi derivanti da beni immobili (REO). I risultati semestrali sono migliorati con un utile di 6,6 milioni rispetto a una perdita di 183,4 milioni dell'anno precedente.
La debolezza dei ricavi continua. Gli interessi e i ricavi correlati sono diminuiti del 23% su base annua a 359,5 milioni di dollari, a causa della normalizzazione dei rendimenti sui prestiti. Il reddito netto da interessi è calato del 25% a 94,8 milioni, parzialmente compensato dai ricavi da affitti e ospitalità degli immobili REO. Le spese operative sono aumentate a 78,4 milioni (Q2 2024: 33,3 milioni), principalmente per 47,8 milioni di costi legati alle proprietà REO.
Variazioni nel bilancio. Gli attivi totali sono aumentati del 4% rispetto alla fine dell'anno, arrivando a 20,6 miliardi, con i prestiti netti in aumento del 3,6% a 19,0 miliardi. La riserva CECL è leggermente salita a 740,9 milioni (3,9% dei prestiti lordi). Il patrimonio netto è diminuito del 4,7% a 3,62 miliardi dopo due dividendi trimestrali da 0,47 dollari (161,9 milioni) e riacquisti di azioni per 31,7 milioni (azioni in circolazione 171,6 milioni).
Evoluzione della composizione del finanziamento. BXMT ha emesso 831 milioni di dollari di debito CLO/securitizzato e ha utilizzato 2,5 miliardi di linee garantite, aumentando il debito garantito del 10% a 10,7 miliardi e il debito securitizzato del 29% a 2,5 miliardi, mentre ha rimborsato 0,9 miliardi di debito specifico su asset. La liquidità è migliorata: la cassa è salita a 388 milioni.
Punti chiave per gli investitori:
- Ritorno a un EPS positivo, ma gli utili restano contenuti.
- Riserva CECL significativamente più bassa, segnale di stabilizzazione del credito ma riserva ancora consistente.
- Contrazione dei ricavi da interessi che evidenzia pressioni sui margini.
- Aumento delle proprietà REO (valore contabile 615 milioni) che genera sia potenziale di affitto sia costi aggiuntivi.
- Rendimento per gli azionisti mantenuto tramite dividendi e riacquisti, finanziati con maggiore leva finanziaria.
El 10-Q del segundo trimestre de 2025 de BXMT muestra un modesto retorno a la rentabilidad pero continúa la presión por pérdidas crediticias. El ingreso neto del trimestre alcanzó 7,0 millones de dólares (0,04 dólares por acción) frente a una pérdida de 60,2 millones en el Q2 2024, impulsado por una provisión CECL un 70% menor (45,6 millones frente a 152,4 millones) y 38,8 millones en nuevos ingresos provenientes de activos inmobiliarios (REO). Los resultados semestrales mejoraron a una ganancia de 6,6 millones desde una pérdida de 183,4 millones el año pasado.
Continúa la debilidad en los ingresos. Los intereses y los ingresos relacionados cayeron un 23% interanual a 359,5 millones debido a la normalización de los rendimientos de los préstamos. El ingreso neto por intereses disminuyó un 25% a 94,8 millones, parcialmente compensado por ingresos por alquileres y hospitalidad de los activos REO. Los gastos operativos aumentaron a 78,4 millones (Q2 2024: 33,3 millones), principalmente por 47,8 millones en costos de propiedades REO.
Cambios en el balance. Los activos totales aumentaron un 4% desde fin de año a 20,6 mil millones, con préstamos netos al alza del 3,6% a 19,0 mil millones. La reserva CECL subió ligeramente a 740,9 millones (3,9% de los préstamos brutos). El patrimonio cayó un 4,7% a 3,62 mil millones tras dos dividendos trimestrales de 0,47 dólares (161,9 millones) y recompras de acciones por 31,7 millones (171,6 millones de acciones en circulación).
Evolución en la mezcla de financiamiento. BXMT emitió 831 millones en deuda CLO/securitizada y utilizó 2,5 mil millones en líneas garantizadas, elevando la deuda garantizada un 10% a 10,7 mil millones y la deuda securitizada un 29% a 2,5 mil millones, mientras pagaba 0,9 mil millones de deuda específica de activos. La liquidez mejoró: el efectivo subió a 388 millones.
Puntos clave para los inversores:
- Retorno a EPS positivo pero ganancias aún reducidas.
- Provisión CECL significativamente menor, señalando estabilización crediticia pero reserva aún considerable.
- Contracción en ingresos por intereses que destaca presión en márgenes.
- Incremento en activos REO (valor en libros 615 millones) que genera tanto ingresos por alquiler como costos adicionales.
- Retornos a accionistas mantenidos mediante dividendos y recompras, financiados con mayor apalancamiento.
BXMT의 2025년 2분기 10-Q 보고서는 소폭의 수익성 회복과 지속되는 신용 손실 압박을 보여줍니다. 분기 순이익은 700만 달러(주당 0.04달러)로 2024년 2분기 6,020만 달러 손실에서 크게 개선되었으며, CECL 충당금이 70% 감소(4,560만 달러 대 1억 5,240만 달러)하고 부동산 소유(REO) 자산에서 3,880만 달러의 신규 수익이 발생한 덕분입니다. 반기 실적도 작년 1억 8,340만 달러 손실에서 660만 달러 이익으로 개선되었습니다.
매출 부진은 계속되고 있습니다. 대출 수익률 정상화로 이자 및 관련 수익은 전년 대비 23% 감소한 3억 5,950만 달러를 기록했습니다. 순이자수익은 25% 감소한 9,480만 달러로, REO 임대 및 환대 수익으로 일부 상쇄되었습니다. 운영비용은 REO 부동산 비용 4,780만 달러 증가로 7,840만 달러로 급증했습니다(2024년 2분기: 3,330만 달러).
대차대조표 변화. 총자산은 연말 대비 4% 증가한 206억 달러, 순대출금은 3.6% 증가한 190억 달러입니다. CECL 충당금은 총대출의 3.9%인 7억 4,090만 달러로 소폭 상승했습니다. 자본은 두 차례 분기 배당금(각 0.47달러, 1억 6,190만 달러)과 3,170만 달러의 자사주 매입(발행 주식 1억 7,160만 주)으로 4.7% 감소한 36억 2,000만 달러입니다.
자금 조달 구성 변화. BXMT는 8억 3,100만 달러 규모의 CLO/증권화 부채를 발행하고 25억 달러의 담보 대출을 인출해 담보 부채를 10% 증가시켜 107억 달러, 증권화 부채를 29% 증가시켜 25억 달러로 늘렸으며, 특정 자산 부채 9억 달러를 상환했습니다. 현금은 3억 8,800만 달러로 유동성이 개선되었습니다.
투자자들을 위한 주요 시사점:
- EPS가 긍정적으로 전환되었지만 수익은 여전히 적습니다.
- CECL 충당금이 크게 감소해 신용 안정화 신호지만 여전히 상당한 규모입니다.
- 이자 수익 감소로 마진 압박이 드러납니다.
- REO 보유 증가(장부가 6억 1,500만 달러)는 임대 수익 증가와 비용 부담을 동시에 만듭니다.
- 배당금과 자사주 매입을 통한 주주 환원이 유지되었으며, 이는 높은 레버리지로 자금 조달되었습니다.
Le 10-Q du deuxième trimestre 2025 de BXMT montre un retour modeste à la rentabilité mais une pression continue sur les pertes de crédit.

La faiblesse du chiffre d'affaires persiste. Les intérêts et revenus connexes ont diminué de 23 % en glissement annuel à 359,5 millions en raison de la normalisation des rendements des prêts. Le revenu net d'intérêts a chuté de 25 % à 94,8 millions, partiellement compensé par les revenus locatifs et d'hospitalité des actifs REO. Les charges d'exploitation ont bondi à 78,4 millions (T2 2024 : 33,3 millions), principalement en raison de 47,8 millions de coûts liés aux propriétés REO.
Évolutions du bilan. L'actif total a augmenté de 4 % depuis la fin de l'année pour atteindre 20,6 milliards, avec des prêts nets en hausse de 3,6 % à 19,0 milliards.

Points clés pour les investisseurs :
- Retour à un BPA positif mais les bénéfices restent faibles.
- Provision CECL nettement inférieure, signalant une stabilisation du crédit mais une réserve toujours importante.
- Contraction des revenus d'intérêts soulignant la pression sur les marges.
- Augmentation des actifs REO (valeur comptable 615 millions) offrant à la fois un potentiel locatif et un poids en coûts.

Der 10-Q-Bericht von BXMT für das zweite Quartal 2025 zeigt eine moderate Rückkehr zur Profitabilität, jedoch weiterhin Druck durch Kreditverluste. Der Nettogewinn für das Quartal erreichte 7,0 Millionen US-Dollar (0,04 US-Dollar pro Aktie) gegenüber einem Verlust von 60,2 Millionen im Q2 2024, angetrieben durch eine 70% geringere CECL-Rückstellung (45,6 Millionen vs. 152,4 Millionen) und 38,8 Millionen an neuen Einnahmen aus Immobilienbeständen (REO). Die Halbjahresergebnisse verbesserten sich auf einen Gewinn von 6,6 Millionen gegenüber einem Verlust von 183,4 Millionen im Vorjahr.
Die Umsatzzahlen bleiben schwach. Die Zins- und verwandten Erträge fielen im Jahresvergleich um 23% auf 359,5 Millionen, da die Darlehensrenditen sich normalisierten. Der Nettozinsertrag sank um 25% auf 94,8 Millionen, teilweise ausgeglichen durch Mieteinnahmen und Hospitality-Erträge aus REO. Die Betriebskosten stiegen auf 78,4 Millionen (Q2 2024: 33,3 Millionen), hauptsächlich aufgrund von 47,8 Millionen an REO-Immobilienkosten.
Verschiebungen in der Bilanz. Die Gesamtaktiva stiegen seit Jahresende um 4% auf 20,6 Milliarden, wobei die Nettokredite um 3,6% auf 19,0 Milliarden zunahmen. Die CECL-Rückstellung stieg leicht auf 740,9 Millionen (3,9% der Bruttokredite). Das Eigenkapital sank um 4,7% auf 3,62 Milliarden nach zwei Quartalsdividenden von je 0,47 US-Dollar (161,9 Millionen) und Aktienrückkäufen in Höhe von 31,7 Millionen (171,6 Millionen ausstehende Aktien).
Entwicklung der Finanzierungsstruktur. BXMT emittierte 831 Millionen US-Dollar CLO-/verbriefte Schulden und zog 2,5 Milliarden an gesicherten Kreditlinien ab, wodurch die gesicherten Schulden um 10% auf 10,7 Milliarden und die verbrieften Schulden um 29% auf 2,5 Milliarden stiegen, während 0,9 Milliarden an assetspezifischen Schulden zurückgezahlt wurden. Die Liquidität verbesserte sich: Das Bargeld stieg auf 388 Millionen.
Wichtige Erkenntnisse für Investoren:
- Rückkehr zu positivem EPS, aber die Gewinne bleiben gering.

- Rückgang der Zinserträge unterstreicht Margendruck.
- Höhere REO-Bestände (Buchwert 615 Millionen) bieten sowohl Mietpotenzial als auch Kostenbelastung.

Insights
TL;DR: Profit returned on smaller loss reserves, but earnings quality weak.
Quarterly EPS swung to $0.04 as CECL build normalized and REO revenue kicked in. Core net interest income fell 25% YoY, reflecting lower loan yields and slower originations. Leverage rose: secured +$1 billion, CLO debt +$0.6 billion; equity down 5%. Dividend coverage remains tight (payout ratio >100% YTD). Overall, results signal credit stabilisation yet limited growth; valuation hinges on loan performance and ability to recycle REO assets.
TL;DR: CECL reserve plateau, but $741 m still 3.9 % of loans – risk remains.
Reserve build slowed sharply ($45.6 m vs. $152.4 m), aiding bottom line. However, absolute reserve remains high, and non-cash REO inflows indicate realised stress (REO assets +5% to $615 m). Debt stack lengthened via new securitisation while asset-specific debt paid down, improving asset-liability matching but increasing structural leverage. Watch for further CECL releases or charge-offs and performance of hospitality/office REO segments.

- Höhere REO-Bestände (Buchwert 615 Millionen) bieten sowohl Mietpotenzial als auch Kostenbelastung.
- Aktionärsrenditen werden durch Dividenden und Rückkäufe aufrechterhalten, finanziert durch höhere Verschuldung.

1. ORGANIZATION
References herein to “Blackstone Mortgage Trust,” “Company,” “we,” “us” or “our” refer to Blackstone Mortgage Trust,
Inc., a Maryland corporation, and its subsidiaries unless the context specifically requires otherwise.
Blackstone Mortgage Trust is a real estate finance company that originates, acquires, and manages senior loans and other
debt or credit-oriented investments collateralized by or relating to commercial real estate in North America, Europe, and
Australia. Our portfolio is composed primarily of senior loans secured by high-quality, institutional assets located in major
markets, and sponsored by experienced, well-capitalized real estate investment owners and operators. We finance our
investments in a variety of ways, including borrowing under our credit facilities, issuing collateralized loan obligations, or
CLOs, or single-asset securitizations, asset-specific financings, syndicating senior loan participations, and corporate
financing, depending on our view of the most prudent financing option available for each of our investments. We are
externally managed by BXMT Advisors L.L.C., or our Manager, a subsidiary of Blackstone Inc., or Blackstone, and are a
real estate investment trust, or REIT, traded on the New York Stock Exchange, or NYSE, under the symbol “BXMT.” Our
principal executive offices are located at 345 Park Avenue, 24th Floor, New York, New York 10154.
We conduct our operations as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes. We generally will not be subject to U.S. federal
income taxes on our taxable income to the extent that we annually distribute all of our net taxable income to stockholders
and maintain our qualification as a REIT. We also operate our business in a manner that permits us to maintain an
exclusion from registration under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. We are organized as a holding
company and conduct our business primarily through our various subsidiaries.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or GAAP, for interim financial information and the
instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. The consolidated financial statements, including the notes
thereto, are unaudited and exclude some of the disclosures required in audited financial statements. We believe we have
made all necessary adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring items, so that the consolidated financial statements are
presented fairly and that estimates made in preparing our consolidated financial statements are reasonable and prudent. The
operating results presented for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any
other interim period or for the entire year. The accompanying unaudited consolidated interim financial statements should
be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for
the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include, on a consolidated basis, our accounts, the accounts of our
wholly-owned subsidiaries, majority-owned subsidiaries, and variable interest entities, or VIEs, of which we are the
primary beneficiary. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
We consolidate all entities that we control through either majority ownership or voting rights. In addition, we consolidate
all VIEs of which we are considered the primary beneficiary. VIEs are defined as entities in which equity investors (i) do
not have an interest with the characteristics of a controlling financial interest and/or (ii) do not have sufficient equity at risk
for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties. The entity that
consolidates a VIE is known as its primary beneficiary and is generally the entity with (i) the power to direct the activities
that most significantly affect the VIE’s economic performance and (ii) the right to receive benefits from the VIE or the
obligation to absorb losses of the VIE that could be significant to the VIE. Entities that do not qualify as VIEs are generally
considered voting interest entities, or VOEs, and are evaluated for consolidation under the voting interest model. VOEs are
consolidated when we control the entity through a majority voting interest or other means.
For consolidated entities, the non-controlling partner’s share of the assets, liabilities, and operations of each joint venture is
included in non-controlling interests as a component of total equity. The non-controlling partner’s interest is generally
computed as the joint venture partner’s ownership percentage.
11
Blackstone Mortgage Trust, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued) (Unaudited)
When the requirements for consolidation are not met and we have significant influence over the operations of the entity, the
investment is accounted for under the equity method of accounting. Investments in unconsolidated entities for which we
have not elected the fair value option, or FVO, are initially recorded at cost and subsequently adjusted for our pro-rata
share of net income, contributions and distributions. When we elect the FVO, we record our share of the net asset value of
the entity and any related unrealized gains and losses.
We review our investments in unconsolidated entities for impairment each quarter or when there is an event or change in
circumstances that indicates a decrease in value. If there is a decrease in value due to a series of operating losses or other
factors, the investment is evaluated to determine if the loss in value is considered other than temporary. Although a current
fair value below the carrying value of the investment is an indicator of impairment, we will only recognize an impairment
if the loss in value is determined to be an other than temporary impairment. If an impairment is determined to be other than
temporary, we will record an impairment charge sufficient to reduce the investment’s carrying value to its fair value, which
would result in a new cost basis. This new cost basis will be used for future periods when recording subsequent income or
loss and cannot be written up to a higher value as a result of increases in fair value.
In 2017, we entered into a joint venture with Walker & Dunlop Inc., or Walker & Dunlop, to originate, hold, and finance
multifamily bridge loans, which we refer to as our Multifamily Joint Venture. Pursuant to the terms of the agreements
governing the joint venture, Walker & Dunlop contributed 15 % of the venture’s equity capital and we contributed 85 %.
We consolidate our Multifamily Joint Venture as we have a controlling financial interest. The non-controlling interests
included on our consolidated balance sheets represent the equity interests in our Multifamily Joint Venture that are owned
by Walker & Dunlop. A portion of our Multifamily Joint Venture’s consolidated equity and results of operations are
allocated to these non-controlling interests based on Walker & Dunlop’s pro rata ownership of our Multifamily Joint
Venture.
In 2024, we entered into a joint venture with a Blackstone-advised investment vehicle to invest in triple net lease
properties, which we refer to as our Net Lease Joint Venture. We do not consolidate our Net Lease Joint Venture as we do
not have a controlling financial interest. Our investment in our Net Lease Joint Venture is accounted for under the equity
method, and is recorded in investment in unconsolidated entities on our consolidated balance sheets, and our pro-rata share
of income (loss) is recorded in income (loss) from unconsolidated entities on our consolidated statements of operations.
In the second quarter of 2025, we entered into a joint venture with a Blackstone-advised investment vehicle that acquired a
portfolio of performing commercial mortgage loans, which we refer to as our Bank Loan Portfolio Joint Venture. We do
not consolidate our Bank Loan Portfolio Joint Venture as we do not have a controlling financial interest. Our investment in
our Bank Loan Portfolio Joint Venture is accounted for using the FVO, and is recorded as an investment in unconsolidated
entities on our consolidated balance sheets, and our pro-rata share of any unrealized gains and losses is recorded in income
(loss) from unconsolidated entities on our consolidated statements of operations.
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of
the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting
period. Actual results may ultimately differ materially from those estimates.
Interest income from our loans receivable portfolio is recognized over the life of each loan using the effective interest
method and is recorded on the accrual basis. Recognition of fees, premiums, and discounts associated with these
investments is deferred and recorded over the term of the loan as an adjustment to yield. Income accrual is generally
suspended for loans at the earlier of the date at which payments become 90 days past due or when, in our opinion, recovery
of income and principal becomes doubtful. Interest received is then recorded as income or as a reduction in the amortized
cost basis, based on the specific facts and circumstances, until accrual is resumed when the loan becomes contractually
current and performance is demonstrated to be resumed. In addition, for loans we originate, the related origination expenses
are deferred and recognized as a reduction to interest income, however expenses related to loans we acquire are included in
general and administrative expenses as incurred.
The sources of revenue from our REO assets, which is included in revenue from real estate owned on our consolidated
statements of operations, and the related revenue recognition policies are as follows:
12
Blackstone Mortgage Trust, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued) (Unaudited)
Rental income primarily consists of base rent income arising from tenant leases at our office and multifamily properties.
Base rent is recognized on a straight-line basis over the life of the lease, including any rent steps or abatement provisions.
We begin to recognize revenue upon the acquisition of the related property or when a tenant takes possession of the leased
space.
Other operating income primarily consists of income from our hospitality properties and tenant reimbursement income.
Revenue from our hospitality properties consists primarily of room revenue and food and beverage revenue. Room revenue
is recognized when the related room is occupied and other hospitality revenue is recognized when the service is rendered.
Tenant reimbursement income primarily consists of amounts due from tenants for costs related to common area
maintenance, real estate taxes, and other recoverable costs included in lease agreements.
We evaluate the collectibility of receivables related to rental revenue on an individual lease basis and exercise judgment in
assessing collectability considering the length of time a receivable has been outstanding, tenant credit-worthiness, payment
history, available information about the financial condition of the tenant, and current economic trends, among other factors.
Tenant receivables that are deemed uncollectible are recognized as a reduction to rental revenue.
Cash and cash equivalents represent cash held in banks and liquid investments with original maturities of three months or
less. We may have bank balances in excess of federally insured amounts; however, we deposit our cash and cash
equivalents with high credit-quality institutions to minimize credit risk exposure. We have not experienced, and do not
expect, any losses on our cash or cash equivalents. As of both June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we had no
cash on our consolidated balance sheets.
We originate and purchase commercial real estate debt and related instruments generally to be held as long-term
The current expected credit loss, or CECL, reserve required under the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB,
Accounting Standards Codification, or ASC, Topic 326 “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses,” or ASC 326, reflects our
current estimate of potential credit losses related to our loans and notes receivable included in our consolidated balance
sheets. Changes to the CECL reserves are recognized through net income on our consolidated statements of operations.
While ASC 326 does not require any particular method for determining the CECL reserves, it does specify the reserves
should be based on relevant information about past events, including historical loss experience, current portfolio and
market conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts for the duration of each respective loan. In addition, other than
a few narrow exceptions, ASC 326 requires that all financial instruments subject to the CECL model have some amount of
loss reserve to reflect the principle underlying the CECL model that all loans and similar assets have some inherent risk of
loss, regardless of credit quality, subordinate capital, or other mitigating factors.
We estimate our CECL reserves primarily using the Weighted-Average Remaining Maturity, or WARM method, which
has been identified as an acceptable loss-rate method for estimating CECL reserves in FASB Staff Q&A Topic 326, No. 1.
The WARM method requires us to reference historic loan loss data across a comparable data set and apply such loss rate to
each of our loans over their expected remaining term, taking into consideration expected economic conditions over the
relevant time frame. We apply the WARM method for the majority of our loan portfolio, which consists of loans that share
similar risk characteristics. In certain instances, for loans with unique risk characteristics, we may instead use a probability-
weighted model that considers the likelihood of default and expected loss given default for each such individual loan.
Application of the WARM method to estimate CECL reserves requires judgment, including (i) the appropriate historical
loan loss reference data, (ii) the expected timing and amount of future loan fundings and repayments, and (iii) the current
credit quality of our portfolio and our expectations of performance and market conditions over the relevant time period. To
estimate the historic loan losses relevant to our portfolio, we have augmented our historical loan performance, with market
loan loss data licensed from Trepp LLC. This database includes commercial mortgage-backed securities, or CMBS, issued
since January 1, 1999 through May 31, 2025. Within this database, we focused our historical loss reference calculations on
the most relevant subset of available CMBS data, which we determined based on loan metrics that are most comparable to
our loan portfolio including asset type, geography, and origination loan-to-value, or LTV. We believe this CMBS data,
13
Blackstone Mortgage Trust, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued) (Unaudited)
which includes month-over-month loan and property performance, is the most relevant, available, and comparable dataset
to our portfolio.
Our loans typically include commitments to fund incremental proceeds to our borrowers over the life of the loan. These
future funding commitments are also subject to the CECL model. The CECL reserve related to future loan fundings is
recorded as a component of other liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets. This CECL reserve is estimated using the
same process outlined above for our outstanding loan balances, and changes in this component of the CECL reserve will
similarly impact our consolidated net income. For both the funded and unfunded portions of our loans, we consider our
internal risk rating of each loan as the primary credit quality indicator underlying our assessment.
The CECL reserves are measured on a collective basis wherever similar risk characteristics exist within a pool of similar
assets. We have identified the following pools and measure the reserve for credit losses using the following methods:
•U.S. Loans: WARM method that incorporates a subset of historical loss data, expected weighted-average
remaining maturity of our loan pool, and an economic view.
•Non-U.S. Loans: WARM method that incorporates a subset of historical loss data, expected weighted-average
remaining maturity of our loan pool, and an economic view.
•Unique Loans: a probability of default and loss given default model, assessed on an individual basis.
•Impaired Loans: impairment is indicated when it is deemed probable that we will not be able to collect all
amounts due to us pursuant to the contractual terms of the loan. Determining that a loan is impaired requires
significant judgment from management and is based on several factors including (i) the underlying collateral
performance, (ii) discussions with the borrower, (iii) borrower events of default, and (iv) other facts that impact
the borrower’s ability to pay the contractual amounts due under the terms of the loan. If a loan is determined to be
impaired, we record the impairment as a component of our CECL reserves by applying the practical expedient for
collateral dependent loans. The CECL reserves are assessed on an individual basis for these loans by comparing
the estimated fair value of the underlying collateral, less costs to sell, to the book value of the respective loan.
These valuations require significant judgments, which include assumptions regarding capitalization rates, discount
rates, leasing, creditworthiness of major tenants, occupancy rates, availability and cost of financing, exit plan, loan
sponsorship, actions of other lenders, and other factors deemed relevant by us. Actual losses, if any, could
ultimately differ materially from these estimates. We only expect to charge off the impairment losses in our
consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP if and when such amounts are deemed non-
recoverable. This is generally at the time a loan is repaid or foreclosed. However, non-recoverability may also be
concluded if, in our determination, it is nearly certain that all amounts due will not be collected.
Contractual Term and Unfunded Loan Commitments
Expected credit losses are estimated over the contractual term of each loan, adjusted for expected repayments. As part of
our quarterly review of our loan portfolio, we assess the expected repayment date of each loan, which is used to determine
the contractual term for purposes of computing our CECL reserves.
Additionally, the expected credit losses over the contractual period of our loans are subject to the obligation to extend
credit through our unfunded loan commitments. The CECL reserve for unfunded loan commitments is adjusted quarterly,
as we consider the expected timing of future funding obligations over the estimated life of the loan. The considerations in
estimating our CECL reserve for unfunded loan commitments are similar to those used for the related outstanding loans
receivable.
Credit Quality Indicator
Our risk rating is our primary credit quality indicator in assessing our current expected credit loss reserve. We perform a
quarterly risk review of our portfolio of loans, and assign each loan a risk rating based on a variety of factors, including,
without limitation, origination LTV, debt yield, property type, geographic and local market dynamics, physical condition,
cash flow volatility, leasing and tenant profile, loan structure and exit plan, and project sponsorship. Based on a 5-point
14
Blackstone Mortgage Trust, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued) (Unaudited)
scale, our loans are rated “l” through “5,” from less risk to greater risk, relative to our loan portfolio in the aggregate, which
ratings are defined as follows:
1 -Very Low Risk
2 -Low Risk
3 -Medium Risk
4 -High Risk/Potential for Loss: A loan that has a risk of realizing a principal loss.
5 -Impaired/Loss Likely: A loan that has a very high risk of realizing a principal loss or has otherwise incurred a
principal loss.
Estimation of Economic Conditions
In addition to the WARM method computations and probability-weighted models described above, our CECL reserves are
also adjusted to reflect our estimation of the current and future economic conditions that impact the performance of the
commercial real estate assets securing our loans. These estimations include unemployment rates, interest rates, expectations
of inflation and/or recession, and other macroeconomic factors impacting the likelihood and magnitude of potential credit
losses for our loans during their anticipated term. In addition to the CMBS data we have licensed from Trepp LLC, we
have also licensed certain macroeconomic financial forecasts to inform our view of the potential future impact that broader
economic conditions may have on our loan portfolio’s performance. We generally also incorporate information from other
sources, including information and opinions available to our Manager, to further inform these estimations. This process
requires significant judgments about future events that, while based on the information available to us as of the balance
sheet date, are ultimately indeterminate and the actual economic condition impacting our portfolio could vary significantly
We may assume legal title or physical possession of the collateral underlying a loan through a foreclosure, a deed-in-lieu of
foreclosure transaction, or a loan modification in which we receive an equity interest in and/or control over decision-
making at the property, resulting in us consolidating the real estate assets as VIEs. These real estate acquisitions are
classified as real estate owned, or REO, on our consolidated balance sheet and are initially recognized at fair value on the
acquisition date in accordance with the ASC Topic 805, “Business Combinations.”
Upon acquisition of REO, we assess the fair value of acquired tangible and intangible assets, which may include land,
buildings, tenant improvements, “above-market” and “below-market” leases, acquired in-place leases, other identified
intangible assets and assumed liabilities, as applicable, and allocate the fair value to the acquired assets and assumed
liabilities. We assess and consider fair value based on estimated cash flow projections that utilize discount and/or
capitalization rates that we deem appropriate, as well as other available market information. Estimates of future cash flows
are based on a number of factors including the historical operating results, known and anticipated trends, and market and
economic conditions. We capitalize acquisition-related costs associated with asset acquisitions.
Real estate assets held for investment, except for land, are depreciated using the straight-line method over the assets’
estimated useful lives of up to 40 years for buildings and 10 years for tenant improvements. Renovations and/or
replacements that improve or extend the life of the asset are capitalized and depreciated over their estimated useful lives.
Lease intangibles are amortized over the remaining term of applicable leases on a straight-line basis. The cost of ordinary
repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred.
Real estate assets held for investment are assessed for impairment on a quarterly basis. If the depreciated cost basis of the
asset exceeds the undiscounted cash flows over the remaining holding period, the asset is considered for impairment. The
impairment loss is recognized when the carrying value of the real estate assets exceed their fair value. The evaluation of
anticipated future cash flows is highly subjective and is based in part on assumptions regarding future occupancy, rental
rates, capital requirements and anticipated holding periods that could differ materially from actual results.
Real estate assets are classified as held for sale in the period when they meet the criteria under ASC Topic 360 “Property,
Plant, and Equipment.” Once a real estate asset is classified as held for sale, depreciation is suspended and the asset is
reported at the lower of its carrying value or fair value less cost to sell. If circumstances arise and we decide not to sell a
real estate asset previously classified as held for sale, the real estate asset is reclassified as held for investment. Upon
reclassification, the real estate asset is measured at the lower of (i) its carrying amount prior to classification as held for

sale, adjusted for depreciation expense that would have been recognized had the real estate been classified as held for
investment, and (ii) its estimated fair value at the time of reclassification.
As of June 30, 2025, we had eight REO assets which were all classified as held for investment.
In the second quarter of 2024, we entered into an agreement with M&T Realty Capital Corporation, or MTRCC, a
subsidiary of M&T Bank, that allows our borrowers to access multifamily agency financing through MTRCC’s Fannie
Mae DUS and Freddie Mac Optigo lending platforms, or the Agency Multifamily Lending Partnership. We will receive a
portion of origination, servicing, and other fees for loans that we refer to MTRCC for origination under both the Fannie
Mae and Freddie Mac programs. Additionally, we will share in losses with MTRCC and Fannie Mae on loans that we refer
to MTRCC for origination under the Fannie Mae program.
Revenue Recognition
For loans that we refer to MTRCC for origination under both the Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac programs, we recognize our
allocable portion of origination, servicing, and other fees in other income when we have satisfied our performance
obligations in accordance with the “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” Topic of the FASB, or ASC 606. Our
performance obligations are generally satisfied when the loan is referred by us to MTRCC and subsequently originated and
sold under the Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac programs. A portion of the fees recognized, such as servicing fees, are variable
and will be reevaluated for collectability on a recurring basis.
Loss-sharing Obligation
Pursuant to our agreement with MTRCC, we are subject to a loss-sharing obligation with respect to MTRCC’s obligation
to partially guarantee the performance of loans that they originate and sell under the Fannie Mae program. This loss-
sharing agreement requires us to fund a fixed amount of cash into a segregated account based on the amount MTRCC is
required to fund under the Fannie Mae program, with respect to loans we referred to MTRCC.
In addition, we will recognize a liability for these loss-sharing obligations. This liability will be initially recognized at fair
value with a corresponding expense at inception, and it will subsequently be amortized on a straight-line basis over the life
both June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, our maximum loss-sharing obligation associated with the loans referred by us
to MTRCC under the Fannie Mae program was $3.5 19,000
have been no losses incurred as a result of the loss-sharing obligations.
We classify all derivative financial instruments as either other assets or other liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets
at fair value.
On the date we enter into a derivative contract, we designate each contract as (i) a hedge of a net investment in a foreign
operation, or net investment hedge, (ii) a hedge of a forecasted transaction or of the variability of cash flows to be received
or paid related to a recognized asset or liability, or cash flow hedge, (iii) a hedge of a recognized asset or liability, or fair
value hedge, or (iv) a derivative instrument not to be designated as a hedging derivative, or non-designated hedge. For all
derivatives other than those designated as non-designated hedges, we formally document our hedge relationships and
designation at the contract’s inception. This documentation includes the identification of the hedging instruments and the
hedged items, its risk management objectives, strategy for undertaking the hedge transaction and our evaluation of the
effectiveness of its hedged transaction.
On a quarterly basis, we also formally assess whether the derivative we designated in each hedging relationship is expected
to be, and has been, highly effective in offsetting changes in the value or cash flows of the hedged items. If it is determined
that a derivative is not highly effective at hedging the designated exposure, hedge accounting is discontinued and the
changes in fair value of the instrument are included in net income prospectively. Our net investment hedges are assessed
using a method based on changes in spot exchange rates. Gains and losses, representing hedge components excluded from
the assessment of effectiveness, are recognized in interest income on our consolidated statements of operations over the
contractual term of our net investment hedges on a systematic and rational basis, as documented at hedge inception in
accordance with our accounting policy election. All other changes in the fair value of our derivative instruments that
16
Blackstone Mortgage Trust, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued) (Unaudited)
qualify as hedges are reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) on our consolidated
financial statements. Deferred gains and losses are reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and
into net income in the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings, and are presented in the
same line item as the earnings effect of the hedged item. For cash flow hedges, this is typically when the periodic swap
settlements are made, while for net investment hedges, this occurs when the hedged item is sold or substantially liquidated.
To the extent a derivative does not qualify for hedge accounting and is deemed a non-designated hedge, the changes in its
fair value are included in net income concurrently.
Proceeds or payments from periodic settlements of derivative instruments are classified on our consolidated statement of
We record investments financed with secured debt or asset-specific debt as separate assets and the related borrowings
under any secured debt or asset-specific debt are recorded as separate liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets. Interest
income earned on the investments and interest expense incurred on the secured debt or asset-specific debt are reported
separately on our consolidated statements of operations.
In certain instances, we have executed a syndication of a non-recourse loan interest to a third party. Depending on the
particular structure of the syndication, the loan interest may remain on our GAAP balance sheet or, in other cases, the sale
will be recognized and the loan interest will no longer be included in our consolidated financial statements. When these
sales are not recognized under GAAP we reflect the transaction by recording a loan participation sold liability on our
consolidated balance sheet, however this gross presentation does not impact stockholders’ equity or net income. When the
sales are recognized, our balance sheet only includes our remaining loan interest, and excludes the interest in the loan that
We record our term loans as liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets. Where applicable, any issue discount or
transaction expenses are deferred and amortized through the maturity date of the term loans as additional non-cash interest
expense.
Senior Secured Notes
We record our senior secured notes as liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets. Where applicable, any issue discount
or transaction expenses are deferred and amortized through the maturity date of the senior secured notes as additional non-
cash interest expense.
Convertible Notes
Convertible note proceeds, unless issued with a substantial premium or an embedded conversion feature, are classified as
debt. Additionally, shares issuable under our convertible notes are included in diluted earnings per share in our
consolidated financial statements, if the effect is dilutive, using the if-converted method, regardless of settlement intent.
Where applicable, any issue discount or transaction expenses are deferred and amortized through the maturity date of the
convertible notes as additional non-cash interest expense.
Deferred Financing Costs
The deferred financing costs that are included as a reduction in the net book value of the related liability on our
consolidated balance sheets include issuance and other costs related to our debt obligations. These costs are amortized as
Underwriting commissions and offering costs incurred in connection with common stock offerings are reflected as a

The “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” Topic of the FASB, or ASC 820, defines fair value, establishes a
framework for measuring fair value, and requires certain disclosures about fair value measurements under GAAP.
Specifically, this guidance defines fair value based on exit price, or the price that would be received upon the sale of an
asset or the transfer of a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.
ASC 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes and ranks the level of market price observability used in
measuring financial instruments. Market price observability is affected by a number of factors, including the type of
financial instrument, the characteristics specific to the financial instrument, and the state of the marketplace, including the
existence and transparency of transactions between market participants. Financial instruments with readily available quoted
prices in active markets generally will have a higher degree of market price observability and a lesser degree of judgment
used in measuring fair value.
Financial instruments measured and reported at fair value are classified and disclosed based on the observability of inputs
used in the determination, as follows:
•Level 1: Generally includes only unadjusted quoted prices that are available in active markets for identical
financial instruments as of the reporting date.
•Level 2: Pricing inputs include quoted prices in active markets for similar instruments, quoted prices in less active
or inactive markets for identical or similar instruments where multiple price quotes can be obtained, and other
observable inputs, such as interest rates, yield curves, credit risks, and default rates.
•Level 3: Pricing inputs are unobservable for the financial instruments and include situations where there is little, if
any, market activity for the financial instrument. These inputs require significant judgment or estimation by
management of third parties when determining fair value and generally represent anything that does not meet the
criteria of Levels 1 and 2.
Certain of our other assets are reported at fair value, as of quarter-end, either (i) on a recurring basis or (ii) on a
nonrecurring basis, as a result of impairment or other events. Our assets that are recorded at fair value are discussed further
in Note 19. We generally value our assets recorded at fair value by either (i) discounting expected cash flows based on
assumptions regarding the collection of principal and interest and estimated market rates, or (ii) obtaining assessments from
third parties. For collateral-dependent loans that are identified as impaired, we measure impairment by comparing our
estimation of the fair value of the underlying collateral, less costs to sell, to the book value of the respective loan. These
valuations require significant judgments, which include assumptions regarding capitalization rates, discount rates, leasing,
creditworthiness of major tenants, occupancy rates, availability and cost of financing, exit plan, loan sponsorship, actions
of other lenders, and other factors.
We have elected the FVO for one of our investments in an unconsolidated entity, our Bank Loan Portfolio Joint Venture,
and therefore report this investment at fair value. Given the fair value of this investment is not readily determinable, the net
asset value of the entity is used as a practical expedient.
As of June 30, 2025, we had an aggregate $558.8 million asset-specific CECL reserve related to 14 of our loans receivable
with an aggregate amortized cost basis of $1.6 billion, net of cost-recovery proceeds. The CECL reserve was recorded
based on our estimation of the fair value of the loans' aggregate underlying collateral as of June 30, 2025. These loans
receivable are therefore measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis using significant unobservable inputs, and are
classified as Level 3 assets in the fair value hierarchy. We estimated the fair value of the collateral underlying the loans
receivable by considering a variety of inputs including property performance, market data, and comparable sales, as
applicable. The significant unobservable inputs employed include the exit capitalization rate assumption used to forecast
the future sale price of the underlying real estate collateral, which ranged from 6.00 % to 8.00 %, and the unlevered discount
rate assumption, which ranged from 7.00 % to 15.00 %.
During the six months ended June 30, 2025, we acquired legal title to one REO asset through a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure
transaction. At the time of acquisition, we determined the fair value of the real estate asset based on a variety of inputs
including, but not limited to, estimated cash flow projections, leasing assumptions, required capital expenditures, market
data, and comparable sales. The REO asset was measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis using significant
unobservable inputs and is classified as a Level 3 asset in the fair value hierarchy. The significant unobservable inputs
employed include (i) the exit capitalization rate assumption of 8.55 % used to forecast the future sale price of the asset, and
(ii) the unlevered discount rate assumption of 10.55 %. Refer to Note 4 and Note 19 for additional information.

We are also required by GAAP to disclose fair value information about financial instruments, which are not otherwise
reported at fair value in our consolidated balance sheet, to the extent it is practicable to estimate a fair value for those
instruments. These disclosure requirements exclude certain financial instruments and all non-financial instruments.
The following methods and assumptions are used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments, for which
it is practicable to estimate that value:
•Cash and cash equivalents: The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents approximates fair value.
•Loans receivable, net: The fair values of these loans were estimated using a discounted cash flow methodology,
taking into consideration various factors including capitalization rates, discount rates, leasing, credit worthiness of
major tenants, occupancy rates, availability and cost of financing, exit plan, loan sponsorship, actions of other
lenders, and other factors.
•Derivative financial instruments: The fair value of our foreign currency and interest rate contracts was estimated
using advice from a third-party derivative specialist, based on contractual cash flows and observable inputs
comprising foreign currency rates and credit spreads.
•Secured debt, net: The fair value of these instruments was estimated based on the rate at which a similar credit
facility would currently be priced.
•Securitized debt obligations, net: The fair value of these instruments was estimated by utilizing third-party pricing
service providers. In determining the value of a particular investment, pricing service providers may use broker-
dealer quotations, reported trades, or valuation estimates from their internal pricing models to determine the
reported price.
•Asset-specific debt, net: The fair value of these instruments was estimated based on the rate at which a similar
agreement would currently be priced.
•Loan participations sold, net: The fair value of these instruments was estimated based on the value of the related
loan receivable asset.
•Term loans, net: The fair value of these instruments was estimated by utilizing third-party pricing service
providers. In determining the value of a particular investment, pricing service providers may use broker-dealer
quotations, reported trades, or valuation estimates from their internal pricing models to determine the reported
price.
•Senior secured notes, net: The fair value of these instruments was estimated by utilizing third-party pricing service
providers. In determining the value of a particular investment, pricing service providers may use broker-dealer
quotations, reported trades, or valuation estimates from their internal pricing models to determine the reported
price.
•Convertible notes, net: Each series of the convertible notes is actively traded and their fair values were obtained
Our financial results generally do not reflect provisions for current or deferred income taxes on our REIT taxable income.
We believe that we operate in a manner that will continue to allow us to be taxed as a REIT and, as a result, we generally
do not expect to pay substantial corporate level taxes other than those payable by our taxable REIT subsidiaries. If we were
to fail to meet these requirements, we may be subject to federal, state, and local income tax on current and past income, and
penalties. Refer to Note 17 for additional information.
Our stock-based compensation consists of awards issued to our Manager, certain individuals employed by an affiliate of
our Manager, and certain members of our board of directors that vest over the life of the awards, as well as deferred stock
units issued to certain members of our board of directors. Stock-based compensation expense is recognized for these
awards in net income on a variable basis over the applicable vesting period of the awards, based on the value of our class A
common stock. Refer to Note 18 for additional information.

Basic earnings per share, or Basic EPS, is computed in accordance with the two-class method and is based on (i) the net
earnings allocable to our class A common stock, including restricted class A common stock and deferred stock units,
divided by (ii) the weighted-average number of shares of our class A common stock, including restricted class A common
stock and deferred stock units outstanding during the period. Our restricted class A common stock is considered a
participating security, as defined by GAAP, and has been included in our Basic EPS under the two-class method as these
restricted shares have the same rights as our other shares of class A common stock, including participating in any gains or
losses.
Diluted earnings per share, or Diluted EPS, is determined using the if-converted method, and is based on (i) the net
earnings, adjusted for interest expense incurred on our convertible notes during the relevant period, net of incentive fees,
allocable to our class A common stock, including restricted class A common stock and deferred stock units, divided by (ii)

In May 2025, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update, or ASU, 2025-03, which amends the guidance in ASC 805,
Business Combinations. This update clarifies the determination of the accounting acquirer in business combinations that
are primarily effected through the exchange of equity interests and involve the acquisition of a VIE. Specifically, entities
are now required to consider the factors outlined in ASC 805-10-55-12 through 55-15 when determining the accounting
acquirer, rather than defaulting to the primary beneficiary of the VIE as the accounting acquirer. ASU 2025-03 is effective
for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, including interim periods within those annual periods, and early
adoption is permitted. We have not early adopted ASU 2025-03 and do not expect the adoption of ASU 2025-03 to have a
material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-04 “Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20): Induced
Conversions of Convertible Debt Instruments,” or ASU 2024-04. ASU 2024-04 clarifies the accounting treatment for
settlement of a convertible debt instrument as an induced conversion. ASU 2024-04 is effective on a prospective basis,
with the option for retrospective application, for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2025. We have not early
adopted ASU 2024-04 and do not expect the adoption of ASU 2024-04 to have a material impact on our consolidated
financial statements.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03 “Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40):
Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses,” or ASU 2024-03. ASU 2024-03 requires disclosures in the notes to the
financial statements on specified information about certain costs and expenses for each interim and annual reporting period.
ASU 2024-03 is effective on either a prospective basis, with the option for retrospective application, for annual periods
beginning after December 15, 2026, and for interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, and
early adoption is permitted. We have not early adopted ASU 2024-03 and do not expect the adoption of ASU 2024-03 to
have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09 “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax
Disclosures,” or ASU 2023-09. ASU 2023-09 requires additional disaggregated disclosures on an entity’s effective tax rate
reconciliation and additional details on income taxes paid. ASU 2023-09 is effective on a prospective basis, with the option
for retrospective application, for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024 and early adoption is permitted. We

Loan Risk Ratings
As further described in Note 2, we evaluate our loan portfolio on a quarterly basis. In conjunction with our quarterly loan
portfolio review, we assess the risk factors of each loan, and assign a risk rating based on several factors. Factors
considered in the assessment include, but are not limited to, risk of loss, origination LTV, debt yield, collateral
performance, structure, exit plan, and sponsorship. Loans are rated “1” (less risk) through “5” (greater risk), which ratings
are defined in Note 2.

Current Expected Credit Loss Reserve
The CECL reserves required under GAAP reflect our current estimate of potential credit losses related to the loans included
in our consolidated balance sheets. Refer to Note 2 for further discussion of our CECL reserves. The following table

CECL reserves as of June 30, 2024 | $ | $ | $ | $ | $ |
During the three months ended June 30, 2025, we recorded a net decrease of $690,000 in the CECL reserves against our
loans receivable portfolio, primarily driven by a $48.4 million increase in our asset-specific CECL reserves, offset by a
$4.1 million decrease in our general CECL reserves and charge-offs of our CECL reserves of $45.1 million, bringing our
total loans receivable CECL reserve to $740.9 million as of June 30, 2025. The increase in our asset-specific CECL
reserves was primarily as a result of two additional loans that were impaired during the three months ended June 30, 2025,
of which one is secured by a life sciences / studio property and the other is secured by an office asset. The office sector is
generally facing reduced tenant and capital markets demand in recent years. Impairments are each determined individually
as a result of changes in the specific credit quality factors for such loans. These factors included, among others, (i) the
underlying collateral performance, (ii) discussions with the borrower, (iii) borrower events of default, and (iv) other facts
that impact the borrower’s ability to pay the contractual amounts due under the terms of the loan. The income accrual was
suspended on the two loans that were impaired during the three months ended June 30, 2025, as the recovery of income and
principal was doubtful. During the three months ended June 30, 2025, we recorded $5.3 million of interest income on these
loans. The charge-off of the CECL reserves was a result of a resolution of one previously impaired loan that was repaid
with proceeds from the sale of an office asset in San Jose, CA securing the loan. The decrease in our general CECL
reserves was primarily as a result of a continued improvement in the credit quality of our current portfolio as well as
macroeconomic conditions.
As of June 30, 2025, we had an aggregate $558.8 million asset-specific CECL reserve related to 14 of our loans receivable,
with a total amortized cost basis of $1.6 billion, net of cost-recovery proceeds. This CECL reserve was recorded based on
our estimation of the fair value of each loan’s underlying collateral as of June 30, 2025. No income was recorded on our
impaired loans subsequent to determining that they were impaired. During the three months ended June 30, 2025, we
received an aggregate $10.8 million of cash proceeds from such loans that were applied as a reduction to the amortized cost
basis of each respective loan.
As of June 30, 2025, one of our performing loans with an amortized cost basis of $195.0 million, inclusive of a
$50.0 million junior loan participation sold, was past its current maturity date, was greater than 90 days past due on its
interest payment, and had a risk rating of “3.” This loan was not impaired as of June 30, 2025 as the estimated fair value of
26

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued) (Unaudited)
the underlying collateral exceeded our basis in the loan. Subsequent to June 30, 2025, this loan was repaid in full, including
the junior loan participation sold, with proceeds from a sale of the collateral securing the loan. As of June 30, 2025, all
other borrowers under performing loans were in compliance with the applicable contractual terms of each respective loan,
including any required payment of interest. Refer to Note 2 for further discussion of our policies on revenue recognition
and our CECL reserves.

Loan Modifications Pursuant to ASC 326
During the twelve months ended June 30, 2025, we entered into five loan modifications that require disclosure pursuant to
ASC 326. Four of these loans were collateralized by office assets and one was collateralized by a mixed-use asset.
Loans with a risk rating of “3” and “4” are included in the determination of our general CECL reserve and loans with a risk
rating of “5” have an asset-specific CECL reserve. Loan modifications that allow the option to pay interest in-kind increase
our potential economics and the size of our secured claim, as interest is capitalized and added to the outstanding principal
balance for applicable loans. As of June 30, 2025, no income was recorded on our loans subsequent to determining that
they were impaired and risk rated “5.”
loan modification included a term extension of five years , the borrower repaid $6.0 million of principal, and the loan was
bifurcated into a separate senior loan and subordinate loan. We are accruing interest on the senior loan, which is paying
interest current, and deferring interest on the subordinate loan that is paying interest in-kind. The second loan modification
had a term extension of 3.8 years, the loan was bifurcated into a separate senior loan and subordinate loan, and the
borrower paid a $1.7 million fee upon closing of the modification. We are accruing interest on the senior loan, which is
paying interest current, and deferring interest on the subordinate loan that is paying interest in-kind. As of June 30, 2025,
the aggregate amortized cost basis of these loans was $379.1 million, or 1.9 % of our aggregate loans receivable portfolio,
with an aggregate $4.7 million of unfunded commitments. These loans were in compliance with their modified contractual
terms as of June 30, 2025.
The other three loan modifications included term extensions combined with other-than-insignificant payment delays and
interest rate reductions. The first loan modification included a term extension of 4.8 years, the interest rate decreased by
partially current, and partially in-kind, while the subordinate loan is paying interest in-kind. We are accruing interest on the
portion of the senior loan that is paying current and a portion that is paid in-kind, and deferring interest income recognition
on the remaining portion, including the entire subordinate loan. The second loan modification included a term extension of
modification, and the loan was bifurcated into a separate senior loan and subordinate loan. The senior loan is paying
interest partially current, and partially in-kind, while the subordinate loan is paying interest in-kind. We are accruing all of
the interest on the senior loan that is paying partially current and partially in-kind, and deferring interest on the subordinate
loan that is paying interest in-kind. The third loan modification included a term extension of 4.3 years, the interest rate
decreased by 3.56 %, and the loan was bifurcated into a separate senior loan and subordinate loan. We are accruing all of
the interest on the senior loan that is paying current, and deferring interest income on the subordinate loan, which is paid-
in-kind. As of June 30, 2025, the aggregate amortized cost basis of these loans was $508.5 million, or 2.6 % of our
aggregate loans receivable portfolio, with an aggregate $32.7 million of unfunded commitments. These loans were in
compliance with their modified contractual terms as of June 30, 2025.
All five of these loans had a risk rating of “5” at the time of modification. In aggregate, these modifications resulted in the
bifurcation of all five loans into separate senior and subordinate loans, or ten loans in aggregate. As of June 30, 2025, of
the five newly bifurcated senior loans, three loans had a risk rating of “4,” one loan had a risk rating of “3,” and one loan
had a risk rating of “2.” The five newly bifurcated subordinate loans all had a risk rating of “5.”
Multifamily Joint Venture
As discussed in Note 2, we entered into our Multifamily Joint Venture in April 2017. As of both June 30, 2025 and
December 31, 2024, our Multifamily Joint Venture held a $43.3

value of $32.2 million and $32.4 million, respectively, which is included in the REO disclosures in Note 4. Refer to Note 2
4. REAL ESTATE OWNED, NET
As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we had eight and seven REO assets, respectively. During the six months
ended June 30, 2025, we acquired one REO asset through a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure transaction, with an acquisition
price of $45.0 million. We allocated $19.7 million to building and building improvements, $15.0 million to land and land
improvements, $14.5 million to acquired intangible assets, and $(4.2 ) million to other components of the purchase price.
We charged off $41.8 million of CECL reserves relating to the loan that had previously been secured by this asset, as the

loan’s carrying value of $86.9 million at the time of REO acquisition exceeded the acquisition date fair value noted above.
See Note 2 for additional discussion of REO.
The acquisition of one REO asset during the six months ended June 30, 2025 was accounted for as an asset acquisition
under ASC Topic 805 “Business Combinations,” and we recognized this property as an REO asset held for investment. The

Current Expected Credit Loss Reserves for Unfunded Loan Commitments
As of June 30, 2025, we had aggregate unfunded commitments of $1.4 billion related to 58 loans receivable. The expected
credit losses over the contractual period of our loans are impacted by our obligations to extend further credit through our
unfunded loan commitments. See Note 2 for further discussion of the CECL reserves related to our unfunded loan
commitments, and Note 22 for further discussion of our unfunded loan commitments. During the three and six months
ended June 30, 2025, we recorded increases in the CECL reserves related to our unfunded loan commitments of
$1.2 million and $1.3 million, respectively, bringing our total unfunded loan commitments CECL reserve to $11.7 million
as of June 30, 2025. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, we recorded decreases in the CECL reserves

(1)Represents the number of lenders with fundings advanced in each respective currency, as well as the total number of
facility lenders.
(2)Our secured debt agreements are generally term-matched to their underlying collateral. Therefore, the weighted-
average maturity is generally allocated based on the maximum maturity date of the collateral loans, assuming all
extension options are exercised by the borrower. In limited instances, the maturity date of the respective secured
credit facility is used.
(3)Represents the principal balance of the collateral loan assets and the book value of the collateral REO assets.
(4)Maximum maturity assumes all extension options are exercised by the borrower, however our loans may be repaid
prior to such date.
(5)Includes Australian Dollar, Canadian Dollar, Swedish Krona, and Swiss Franc currencies.
The availability of funding under our secured credit facilities is based on the amount of approved collateral, which
collateral is proposed by us in our discretion and approved by the respective counterparty in its discretion, resulting in a
mutually agreed collateral portfolio construction. Certain structural elements of our secured credit facilities, including the
limitation on recourse to us and facility economics, are influenced by the specific collateral portfolio construction of each
facility, and therefore vary within and among the facilities.

Financial Covenants
As of June 30, 2025, we are subject to the following financial covenants related to our secured debt: (i) our ratio of
earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization, or EBITDA, to fixed charges, as defined in the agreements,
shall be not less than 1.25 to 1.0; (ii) our tangible net worth, as defined in the agreements, shall not be less than $3.6 billion
as of each measurement date plus 75 % to 85 % of the net cash proceeds of future equity issuances subsequent to June 30,
2025; (iii) cash liquidity shall not be less than the greater of (x) $10.0 million or (y) no more than 5 % of our recourse
indebtedness; and (iv) our indebtedness shall not exceed 83.33 % of our total assets. As of June 30, 2025 and December 31,
2024, we were in compliance with these covenants.
During 2024, the financial covenant under each applicable secured debt agreement related to the ratio of our EBITDA to
fixed charges, as noted above, was amended so that the ratio shall be not less than 1.25 to 1.0 with respect to each of the
four fiscal quarters beginning with the quarter ended September 30, 2024, and shall be not less than 1.3 to 1.0 thereafter.

10. LOAN PARTICIPATIONS SOLD, NET
The sale of a non-recourse interest in a loan through a participation agreement generally does not qualify for sale
accounting under GAAP. For such transactions, we therefore present the whole loan as an asset and the loan participation
sold as a liability on our consolidated balance sheet until the loan is repaid. We generally have no obligation to pay
principal and interest under these liabilities, and the gross presentation of loan participations sold does not impact our
stockholders’ equity or net income.

The Senior Secured Notes contain the financial covenant that our indebtedness shall not exceed 83.33
As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we were in compliance with this covenant. Under certain circumstances, we
may, at our option, release all of the collateral securing our Senior Secured Notes, in which case we would also be required
to maintain a total unencumbered assets to total unsecured indebtedness ratio of 1.20 or greater. This covenant is not

14. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The objective of our use of derivative financial instruments is to minimize the risks and/or costs associated with our
investments and/or financing transactions. These derivatives may or may not qualify as net investment, cash flow, or fair
value hedges under the hedge accounting requirements of ASC 815 – “Derivatives and Hedging.” Derivatives not
designated as hedges are not speculative and are used to manage our exposure to interest rate movements and other
identified risks. Refer to Note 2 for additional discussion of the accounting for designated and non-designated hedges.
The use of derivative financial instruments involves certain risks, including the risk that the counterparties to these
contractual arrangements do not perform as agreed. To mitigate this risk, we only enter into derivative financial
instruments with counterparties that have appropriate credit ratings and are major financial institutions with which we and
our affiliates also have other financial relationships.
Net Investment Hedges of Foreign Currency Risk
Certain of our international investments expose us to fluctuations in foreign interest rates and currency exchange rates.
These fluctuations may impact the value of our cash receipts and payments in terms of our functional currency, the U.S.

addition, to the extent not issued, currently authorized stock may be reclassified between class A common stock and
preferred stock. As of both June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we did not
outstanding.
Share Repurchase Program
In July 2024, our board of directors authorized the repurchase of up to $150.0 million of our class A common stock. Under
the repurchase program, repurchases may be made from time to time in open market transactions, in privately negotiated
transactions, in agreements and arrangements structured in a manner consistent with Rules 10b-18 and 10b5-1 under the
Exchange Act or otherwise. The timing and the actual amounts repurchased will depend on a variety of factors, including
legal requirements, price and economic and market conditions. The repurchase program may be changed, suspended or
discontinued at any time and does not have a specified expiration date.
During the six months ended June 30, 2025, we repurchased 1,794,936 shares of class A common stock at a weighted-
average price per share of $17.63 , for a total cost of $31.6 million. We did no t have any repurchases of class A common
stock during the six months ended June 30, 2024. As of June 30, 2025, the amount remaining available for repurchases
under the program was $89.2 million.

Class A Common Stock and Deferred Stock Units
Holders of shares of our class A common stock are entitled to vote on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders and
are entitled to receive dividends authorized by our board of directors and declared by us, in all cases subject to the rights of
the holders of shares of outstanding preferred stock, if any.
We also issue restricted class A common stock under our stock-based incentive plans. Refer to Note 18 for additional
discussion of these long-term incentive plans. In addition to our class A common stock, we also issue deferred stock units
to certain members of our board of directors for services rendered. These deferred stock units are non-voting, but carry the
right to receive dividends in the form of additional deferred stock units in an amount equivalent to the cash dividends paid
to holders of shares of class A common stock. Each vested deferred stock unit is settled by delivery of one share of class A
common stock upon the non-employee director’s separation from service.

Dividend Reinvestment and Direct Stock Purchase Plan
We have adopted a dividend reinvestment and direct stock purchase plan under which an aggregate of 10,000,000 shares of
class A common stock are available for sale. Under the dividend reinvestment component of this plan, our class A common
stockholders can designate all or a portion of their cash dividends to be reinvested in additional shares of class A common
stock. Such shares may, at our option, be newly issued shares from us, shares purchased by the plan administrator on the
open market, or a combination thereof. The direct stock purchase component allows stockholders and new investors,
subject to our approval, to purchase shares of class A common stock directly from us. During the six months ended
June 30, 2025 and 2024, we issued 1,778 shares and 3,165 shares, respectively, of class A common stock under the
dividend reinvestment component of the plan. As of June 30, 2025, a total of 9,967,334 shares of class A common stock
remained available under the dividend reinvestment and direct stock purchase plan.
At the Market Stock Offering Program
As of June 30, 2025, we are party to seven equity distribution agreements, or ATM Agreements, pursuant to which we may
sell, from time to time, up to an aggregate sales price of $699.1 million of our class A common stock. Sales of class A
common stock made pursuant to our ATM Agreements may be made in negotiated transactions or transactions that are
deemed to be “at the market” offerings as defined in Rule 415 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Actual sales
depend on a variety of factors including market conditions, the trading price of our class A common stock, our capital
needs, and our determination of the appropriate sources of funding to meet such needs. During the six months ended
June 30, 2025 or June 30, 2024, we did no
June 30, 2025, sales of our class A common stock with an aggregate sales price of $480.9 million remained available for
issuance under our ATM Agreements.

Dividends
We generally intend to distribute substantially all of our taxable income, which does not necessarily equal net income as
calculated in accordance with GAAP, to our stockholders each year to comply with the REIT provisions of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the Internal Revenue Code. Our dividend policy remains subject to revision at the
discretion of our board of directors. All distributions will be made at the discretion of our board of directors and will
depend upon our taxable income, our financial condition, our maintenance of REIT status, applicable law, and other factors
as our board of directors deems relevant.
On June 13, 2025, we declared a dividend of $0.47 per share, or $80.6 million in aggregate, that was paid on July 15, 2025
to stockholders of record as of June 30, 2025.

Earnings Per Share
We calculate our basic and diluted earnings per share using the two-class method for all periods presented as the unvested
shares of our restricted class A common stock qualify as participating securities, as defined by GAAP. These restricted
shares have the same rights as our other shares of class A common stock, including participating in any dividends, and
therefore have been included in our basic and diluted net income per share calculation. The shares issuable under our
Convertible Notes are included in dilutive earnings per share using the if-converted method when the effect is not
antidilutive.

Other Balance Sheet Items
Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income
As of June 30, 2025, total accumulated other comprehensive income was $9.8 million, representing $68.4 million of net
realized and unrealized gains related to changes in the fair value of derivative instruments and $1.2 million of unrealized
losses related to the changes in the fair value of derivative instruments held by unconsolidated entities, offset by
$57.5 million of cumulative unrealized currency translation adjustments on assets and liabilities denominated in foreign
currencies. As of December 31, 2024, total accumulated other comprehensive income was $8.3 million, primarily
representing $272.1 million of net realized and unrealized gains related to changes in the fair value of derivative
instruments offset by $263.9 million of cumulative unrealized currency translation adjustments on assets and liabilities
denominated in foreign currencies.
Non-Controlling Interests
The non-controlling interests included on our consolidated balance sheets represent the equity interests in our Multifamily
Joint Venture that are not owned by us. A portion of our Multifamily Joint Venture’s consolidated equity and results of
operations are allocated to these non-controlling interests based on their pro rata ownership of our Multifamily Joint
Venture. As of June 30, 2025, our Multifamily Joint Venture’s total equity was $45.1 million, of which $38.3 million was
owned by us, and $6.8 million was allocated to non-controlling interests. As of December 31, 2024, our Multifamily Joint
Venture’s total equity was $45.9 million, of which $39.0 million was owned by us, and $6.9 million was allocated to non-
controlling interests.
16. OTHER EXPENSES
Our other expenses consist of the management and incentive fees we pay to our Manager and our general and
administrative expenses.
Management and Incentive Fees
Pursuant to a management agreement between our Manager and us, or our Management Agreement, our Manager earns a
base management fee in an amount equal to 1.50 % per annum multiplied by our Equity, as defined in the Management
Agreement. In addition, our Manager is entitled to an incentive fee in an amount equal to the product of (i) 20 % and (ii) the
excess of (a) our Core Earnings (as defined in our Management Agreement) for the previous 12-month period over (b) an
amount equal to 7.00 % per annum multiplied by our Equity, provided that our Core Earnings over the prior three-year
period is greater than zero . Core Earnings, as defined in our Management Agreement, is generally equal to our GAAP net
income (loss), including realized gains and losses not otherwise recognized in current period GAAP net income (loss), and
excluding (i) non-cash equity compensation expense, (ii) depreciation and amortization, (iii) unrealized gains (losses), (iv)
net income (loss) attributable to our legacy portfolio, (v) certain non-cash items, and (vi) incentive management fees.
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, we incurred $17.0 million and $34.3 million, respectively, of
management fees payable to our Manager compared with $18.7 million and $37.7 million, respectively, during the same
periods in 2024. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, we did not
payable to our Manager.
As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we had accrued management fees payable to our Manager of $17.0 million
and $18.5 million, respectively.

respectively, of expense related to our Multifamily Joint Venture, compared to $320,000 and $543,000 , respectively,
during the same periods in 2024.
17. INCOME TAXES
We have elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code for U.S. federal income tax purposes. We
generally must distribute annually at least 90% of our net taxable income, subject to certain adjustments and excluding any
net capital gain, in order for U.S. federal income tax not to apply to our earnings. To the extent that we satisfy this
distribution requirement, but distribute less than 100% of our net taxable income, we will be subject to U.S. federal income
tax on our undistributed taxable income. In addition, we will be subject to a 4% nondeductible excise tax if the actual
amount that we pay out to our stockholders in a calendar year is less than a minimum amount specified under U.S. federal
tax laws.
Our qualification as a REIT also depends on our ability to meet various other requirements imposed by the Internal
Revenue Code, which relate to organizational structure, diversity of stock ownership, and certain restrictions with regard to
the nature of our assets and the sources of our income. Even if we qualify as a REIT, we may be subject to certain U.S.
federal income and excise taxes and state and local taxes on our income and assets. If we fail to maintain our qualification
as a REIT for any taxable year, we may be subject to material penalties as well as federal, state, and local income tax on
our taxable income at regular corporate rates and we would not be able to qualify as a REIT for the subsequent four full
taxable years. As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we were in compliance with all REIT requirements.
Securitization transactions could result in the creation of taxable mortgage pools for federal income tax purposes. As a
REIT, so long as we own 100% of the equity interests in a taxable mortgage pool, we generally would not be adversely
affected by the characterization of the securitization as a taxable mortgage pool. Certain categories of stockholders,
however, such as foreign stockholders eligible for treaty or other benefits, stockholders with net operating losses, and
certain tax-exempt stockholders that are subject to unrelated business income tax, or UBTI, could be subject to increased
taxes on a portion of their dividend income from us that is attributable to the taxable mortgage pool. We have not made
UBTI distributions to our common stockholders and do not intend to make such UBTI distributions in the future.
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, we recorded a current income tax provision of $903,000 and
$1.6 million, respectively, primarily related to activities of our U.S. and foreign taxable subsidiaries and various state and
local taxes. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, we recorded a current income tax provision of
$1.2 million and $2.2 million, respectively, primarily related to activities of our U.S. and foreign taxable subsidiaries and
various state and local taxes. We did not have any deferred tax assets or liabilities as of June 30, 2025 or December 31,
2024.
We have net operating losses, or NOLs, generated by our predecessor business that may be carried forward and utilized in
current or future periods. As a result of our issuance of 25,875,000 shares of class A common stock in May 2013, the
availability of our NOLs is generally limited to $2.0 million per annum by change of control provisions promulgated by the
Internal Revenue Service with respect to the ownership of Blackstone Mortgage Trust. As of June 30, 2025, we had
estimated NOLs of $159.0 million that will expire in 2029, unless they are utilized by us prior to expiration. Previously, we
50
Blackstone Mortgage Trust, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued) (Unaudited)
recorded a full valuation allowance against such NOLs as we expected that they would expire unutilized. However,
although uncertain, we may utilize a portion of NOLs prior to expiration. We do not expect the utilization of NOLs to have
a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. We have recorded a full valuation allowance against such NOLs
as it is probable that they will expire unutilized.
18. STOCK-BASED INCENTIVE PLANS
We are externally managed by our Manager and do not currently have any employees. However, as of June 30, 2025, our
Manager, certain individuals employed by an affiliate of our Manager, and certain members of our board of directors were
compensated, in part, through our issuance of stock-based instruments.
Under our two current stock incentive plans, a maximum of 10,400,000 shares of our class A common stock may be issued
to our Manager, our directors and officers, and certain employees of affiliates of our Manager. As of June 30, 2025, there
were 5,973,235 shares available under our current stock incentive plans.

expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.0 year from June 30, 2025.

significant estimates are measured using unobservable inputs, or Level 3 inputs. See Note 2 for further discussion regarding
fair value measurement of certain of our assets and liabilities.
20. VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES
We have financed a portion of our loans through the CLOs, all of which are VIEs. We are the primary beneficiary of, and
therefore consolidate, the CLOs on our balance sheet as we (i) control the relevant interests of the CLOs that give us power
to direct the activities that most significantly affect the CLOs, and (ii) have the right to receive benefits and obligation to
absorb losses of the CLOs through the subordinate interests we own.
During 2024, we modified two loans that included, among other changes, an equity interest in and/or control over decision-
making at the property. As a result of the modification, our investments in these loans are VIEs. As of June 30, 2025, we
are the primary beneficiary of, and therefore consolidated the assets of these VIEs on our balance sheet as we (i) have the
power to direct the activities that most significantly affect the property, and (ii) have the right to receive excess sale
proceeds upon exit.

it does not affect our stockholders’ equity or net income. We are not obligated to provide, have not provided, and do not

Our Manager
We are managed by our Manager pursuant to the Management Agreement. The current term of the Management
Agreement expires on December 19, 2025, and will be automatically renewed for a one-year term upon such date and each
anniversary thereafter unless earlier terminated.
As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, our consolidated balance sheets included $17.0 million and $18.5 million,
respectively, of accrued management fees payable to our Manager. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2025,
we paid management fees of $17.2 million and $35.8 million, respectively, to our Manager, compared to $18.9 million and
$45.3 million, respectively, during the same periods in 2024. In addition, during the three and six months ended June 30,
2025, we incurred expenses of $156,000 and $420,000 , respectively, that were paid by our Manager and have been or will
be reimbursed by us, compared to $829,000 and $1.1 million, respectively, of such expenses during the same periods in
2024.
As of June 30, 2025, our Manager held 992,441 shares of unvested restricted class A common stock, which had an
aggregate grant date fair value of $20.7 million. These shares vest in installments over three years from the date of
issuance. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, we recorded non-cash expenses related to shares held by
our Manager of $3.6 million and $7.2 million, respectively, compared to $4.2 million and $8.5 million, respectively, during
the same periods in 2024. Refer to Note 18 for further details on our restricted class A common stock.
As of June 30, 2025, our Manager, its affiliates (including Blackstone and Blackstone-advised investment vehicles),
Blackstone employees, and our directors held an aggregate 13,256,488 shares, or 7.7 %, of our class A common stock, of
which 8,234,581 shares, or 4.8 %, were held by Blackstone and its subsidiaries. Additionally, our directors held 323,877 of
deferred stock units as of June 30, 2025. Certain of the parties listed above have in the past purchased or sold shares of our
class A common stock in open market transactions, and such parties may in the future purchase or sell additional shares of

(1)Affiliates of our Manager own an interest in the controlling entity of BTIG, LLC, or BTIG. BTIG has been engaged
as a broker for repurchases of our Senior Secured Notes and Convertible Notes. During the six months ended
June 30, 2025, there was no repurchase activity. During the six months ended June 30, 2024, we repurchased
$26.2 million of our October 2021 Senior Secured Notes utilizing BTIG as a broker. Additionally, we have engaged
BTIG as a sales agent to sell shares of our class A common stock under one of our ATM Agreements. During the six
months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, we did not sell any shares under our ATM Agreements. Our engagements of
BTIG are on terms equivalent to those of unaffiliated third parties under similar arrangements.
(2)In the first quarter of 2024, in order to provide insurance for our REO assets, we became a member of Gryphon
Mutual Property Americas IC, or Gryphon, a captive insurance company owned by us and other Blackstone-advised
investment vehicles. A Blackstone affiliate provides oversight and advisory services to Gryphon and receives fees
based on a percentage of premiums paid for such policies. The fees and expenses of Gryphon, including insurance
premiums and fees paid to its manager, are paid annually and borne by us and the other Blackstone-advised
investment vehicles that are members of Gryphon pro rata based on insurance premiums paid for each party’s
respective properties. During the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, we paid $796,000 and $109,000 ,
respectively, to Gryphon for insurance costs, inclusive of premiums, capital surplus contributions, taxes, and our pro
rata share of other expenses. Of these amounts, $31,000 and $2,000 , respectively, was attributable to the fee paid to
a Blackstone affiliate to provide oversight and management services to Gryphon. The amounts included in the table
above reflect the amortization of the insurance expense over the relevant periods of the respective policies.
(3)Lexington National Land Services, or LNLS, a title agent company owned by Blackstone, acts as an agent for one or
more underwriters in issuing title policies and/or providing support services in connection with investments made by
us, Blackstone and their affiliates and related parties, and third-parties. LNLS focuses on transactions in rate-
regulated states where the cost of title insurance is non-negotiable. LNLS will not perform services in non-regulated
states for us, unless (i) in the context of a portfolio transaction that includes properties in rate-regulated states, (ii) as
part of a syndicate of title insurance companies where the rate is negotiated by other insurers or their agents, (iii)
when a third-party is paying all or a material portion of the premium or (iv) when providing only support services to
the underwriter. LNLS earns fees, which would have otherwise been paid to third parties, by providing title agency
services and facilitating placement of title insurance with underwriters. Blackstone receives distributions from LNLS
in connection with investments made by us based on its equity interest in LNLS. In each case, there will be no
related expense offset to us.
(4)In the second quarter of 2025, Blackstone Securities Partners L.P., or BSP, an affiliate of our Manager, was engaged
as a member of the syndicate for our B-6 Term Loan. This engagement was on terms equivalent to those of
unaffiliated third parties.

serves as the collateral manager and benchmark agent for our FL5 CLO issued in the first quarter of 2025. As of June 30,
2025, three of our assets were in special servicing under the CLOs. CTIMCO and our Manager have waived any fees that
would be payable to a third party serving in such roles pursuant to the applicable agreements, and no such fees have been
paid or will become payable to CTIMCO or our Manager.
Other Transactions
During the six months ended June 30, 2025, we invested $562.8 million in three senior loans and $93.6 million in three
mezzanine loans to unaffiliated third parties in which Blackstone-advised investment vehicles also invested at the same
level of the capital structure on a pari passu basis.
In the second quarter of 2025, Blackstone-advised investment vehicles acquired an aggregate $83.9 million participation in
our $1.0 billion B-6 Term Loan. In the fourth quarter of 2024, Blackstone-advised investment vehicles acquired (i) an
aggregate $62.5 million participation in our $650.0 million B-5 Term Loan, and (ii) an aggregate $80.0 million of our
$450.0 million December 2024 Senior Secured Notes. All of these transactions were part of broad syndications led by
third-party banks, and were on terms equivalent to those of unaffiliated third parties. BSP, an affiliate of our Manager, was
engaged as a member of the syndicate for these transactions. Our engagements of BSP are on terms equivalent to those of
unaffiliated parties. See “—Affiliate Services” for more information.
In the first quarter of 2025, as part of a broad syndication led by third-party banks, Blackstone-advised investment vehicles
acquired an aggregate $75.0 million of notes in our $1.0 billion FL5 CLO offering. All of these transactions were on terms
equivalent to those of unaffiliated third parties.
In the second quarter of 2025, we entered into our Bank Loan Portfolio Joint Venture with a Blackstone-advised
investment vehicle that acquired a $1.4 billion portfolio of performing commercial mortgage loans. In the fourth quarter of
2024, we entered into our Net Lease Joint Venture with a Blackstone-advised investment vehicle to invest in triple net lease
properties. We do not consolidate our Bank Loan Portfolio Joint Venture or our Net Lease Joint Venture as we do not have
a controlling financial interest. As of June 30, 2025, the aggregate value of our equity investment in our Bank Loan
Portfolio Joint Venture was $55.9 million and our ownership interest was 29 %, and the aggregate value of our equity
investment in the Net Lease Joint Venture was $52.2 million and our ownership interest was 75 %. We, these joint ventures,
and the Blackstone-advised investment vehicles, together, have engaged and may in the future engage in certain financing,
derivative and/or hedging arrangements related to these joint ventures. See Note 5 for further information.
In the second quarter of 2025, two of our senior loans to borrowers controlled by a Blackstone-advised investment vehicle
were modified. The terms of the modifications (including maturity extensions and additional commitments, among other
changes) were negotiated by our third-party co-lenders. We continue to forgo all non-economic rights under the loans,
including voting rights, so long as the Blackstone-advised investment vehicle controls the applicable borrower.
During the six months ended June 30, 2025, proceeds from four of our loans were used by the unaffiliated third-party
borrowers to repay $554.4 million of performing loans held by Blackstone-advised investment vehicles, and proceeds from
financing provided by Blackstone-advised investment vehicles were used by the unaffiliated third-party borrower to repay
$148.8 million of a performing loan of ours. During the six months ended June 30, 2024, proceeds from a loan held by a
Blackstone-advised investment vehicle were used by the unaffiliated third-party borrower to repay $98.6 million of a
performing loan of ours, and proceeds from the sale of assets to a Blackstone-advised investment vehicle were used by the
unaffiliated third-party borrower to repay $59.0 million of a performing loan of ours to the borrower. These transactions
were initiated by the applicable unaffiliated third-party borrowers with the transaction terms and pricing on market terms.
In the fourth quarter of 2024, pursuant to our Agency Multifamily Lending Partnership, we referred three loans to MTRCC
for origination, where the borrower was a Blackstone-advised investment vehicle. The loan terms and pricing were on
market terms negotiated by MTRCC. Pursuant to our Agency Multifamily Lending Partnership, we received $217,000 of
origination, servicing, and other fees for referring these loans during the fourth quarter of 2024.
In the fourth quarter of 2024, in connection with the modification of one of our senior loans, a Blackstone-advised
investment vehicle purchased a pari passu participation in the loan from a third party at a discount to par.
In the fourth quarter of 2024, the senior lenders negotiated a discounted payoff of a senior loan in which we held an
interest. As part of the discounted payoff, a Blackstone-advised investment vehicle’s mezzanine loan, which had been part
of the total financing, received a small repayment.

Blackstone Mortgage Trust, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued) (Unaudited)
In the third quarter of 2024, we acquired $94.4 million of a total $560.0 million senior loan to an unaffiliated third party.
One Blackstone-advised investment vehicle holds a portion of the senior loan and another holds a mezzanine loan. We will
forgo all non-economic rights under our loan, including voting rights, so long as any Blackstone-advised investment
vehicle controls the mezzanine loan. The intercreditor agreement between the senior loan lender and the mezzanine lender
was negotiated on market terms by a third party without our involvement, and our 17 % interest in the senior loan was made
on such market terms.
In 2019 and 2021, we acquired an aggregate participation of €350.0
owned by a Blackstone-advised investment vehicle. We forgo all non-economic rights under the loan, including voting
rights, so long as the Blackstone-advised investment vehicle controls the borrower. The loan was negotiated by third parties
on market terms without our involvement, and our interest in the senior loan was subject to such market terms. In the third
quarter of 2024, the borrower completed a refinancing transaction involving new lenders and the existing lenders. We
elected to sell €232.0 million of our then remaining €347.0 million loan position to the new lenders at par and extend the
remainder on modified terms. The terms of the modification (which included, among other changes, an extension of the
maturity date, and increase in the interest rate, and additional guarantees) were negotiated by our third-party co-lender.
In the fourth quarter of 2018, we originated £148.7 million of a total £303.5 million senior loan to a borrower that is wholly
owned by a Blackstone-advised investment vehicle. The loan terms were negotiated by our third-party co-lender, and we
will forgo all non-economic rights under the loan, including voting rights, so long as a Blackstone-advised investment
vehicle controls the borrower. In the third quarter of 2024, we agreed to a refinancing transaction pursuant to which
£46.4 million of our £148.7 million participation in an existing £303.5 million loan to a borrower that is wholly owned by a
Blackstone-advised investment vehicle was repaid, and we received a £100.0 million participation in a new loan made to
the same borrower that continues to be controlled by a Blackstone-advised investment vehicle, and the terms of the loan
were modified to include, among other changes, an expanded collateral pool, an extension of the maturity date and an
increase in the interest rate. The transaction, including the terms of the modification, was negotiated by our third-party co-
lender.
22. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Unfunded Commitments Under Loans Receivable
As of June 30, 2025, we had aggregate unfunded commitments of $1.4 billion across 58 loans receivable, and
$666.1 million of committed or identified financings for those commitments, resulting in net unfunded commitments of
$746.0 million. The unfunded loan commitments comprise funding for capital expenditures and construction, leasing costs,
and interest and carry costs. Loan funding commitments are generally subject to certain conditions, including, without
limitation, the progress of capital projects, leasing, and cash flows at the properties securing our loans. Therefore, the exact
timing and amounts of such future loan fundings are uncertain and will depend on the current and future performance of
the underlying collateral assets. We expect to fund our loan commitments over the remaining term of the related loans,
which have a weighted-average future funding period of 2.6 years.

Operating segments are defined as components of a business that can earn revenues and incur expenses for which discrete
financial information is available that is evaluated on a regular basis by the chief operating decision maker, or CODM. Our
CODM is, collectively, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, who decide how to allocate resources and
assess performance. A single management team reports to the CODM, who manages the entire business.
We have determined that we have one
which originates and acquires commercial mortgage loans and related investments.
Our CODM reviews, among other things, consolidated net income (loss) that is reported on the Consolidated Statements of
Operations to make decisions, allocate resources and assess performance and does not evaluate the net income (loss) from
any separate geography or product line. The measure of segment assets is reported on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as
total consolidated assets.

Introduction
Blackstone Mortgage Trust is a real estate finance company that originates, acquires, and manages senior loans and other
debt or credit-oriented investments collateralized by or relating to commercial real estate in North America, Europe, and
Australia. Our portfolio is composed primarily of senior loans secured by high-quality, institutional assets located in major
markets, and sponsored by experienced, well-capitalized real estate investment owners and operators. We finance our
investments in a variety of ways, including borrowing under our credit facilities, issuing collateralized loan obligations, or
CLOs, or single-asset securitizations, asset-specific financings, syndicating senior loan participations, and corporate
financing, depending on our view of the most prudent financing option available for each of our investments. We are
externally managed by BXMT Advisors L.L.C., or our Manager, a subsidiary of Blackstone Inc., or Blackstone, and are a
real estate investment trust, or REIT, traded on the New York Stock Exchange, or NYSE, under the symbol “BXMT.”
We benefit from the deep knowledge, experience and information advantages of our Manager, which is a part of
Blackstone Real Estate. Blackstone Real Estate is the largest owner of commercial real estate globally with over 12,500
commercial assets and a proven track record of successfully navigating market cycles and emerging stronger through
periods of volatility. The market-leading real estate expertise derived from the strength of the Blackstone platform deeply
informs our credit and underwriting process, and we believe gives us the tools to expertly manage the assets in our
portfolio and work with our borrowers throughout periods of economic stress and uncertainty.
We conduct our operations as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes. We generally will not be subject to U.S. federal
income taxes on our taxable income to the extent that we annually distribute all of our net taxable income to stockholders
and maintain our qualification as a REIT. We also operate our business in a manner that permits us to maintain an
exclusion from registration under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. We are organized as a holding
company and conduct our business primarily through our various subsidiaries.
Macroeconomic Environment
Earlier this year, tariff announcements in the U.S. and ongoing global trade negotiations contributed to significant
uncertainty and volatility of debt and equity markets. More recently, greater clarity in the U.S. policy environment and
lower market volatility have contributed to stronger real estate transaction activity. We believe commercial real estate is
increasingly well-positioned for a recovery from its cyclical downturn, which is further supported by continuing low supply
(including in sectors in which our portfolio is concentrated, such as multifamily) and continued improvement in the cost
and availability of debt. Continued deceleration in inflation may also encourage the lowering of interest rates, which should
be constructive for real estate values. Nevertheless, a resurfacing of policy-driven uncertainty or market volatility could
adversely affect us, our borrowers, their tenants and the value of the real estate assets related to our investments.
59
I. Key Financial Measures and Indicators
As a real estate finance company, we believe the key financial measures and indicators for our business are earnings per
share, dividends declared, Distributable Earnings, Distributable Earnings prior to charge-offs, and book value per share.
For the three months ended June 30, 2025, we recorded basic net earnings per share of $0.04, declared a dividend of $0.47
per share, reported $0.19 per share of Distributable Earnings, and reported $0.45 per share of Distributable Earnings prior
to charge-offs. In addition, our book value as of June 30, 2025 was $21.04 per share, which is net of cumulative CECL
reserves of $4.39 per share.
As further described below, Distributable Earnings and Distributable Earnings prior to charge-offs are measures that are
not prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or GAAP.
Distributable Earnings and Distributable Earnings prior to charge-offs helps us to evaluate our performance excluding the
effects of certain transactions and GAAP adjustments that we believe are not necessarily indicative of our current loan
portfolio and operations. In addition, Distributable Earnings and Distributable Earnings prior to charge-offs are
performance metrics we consider when declaring our dividends.
Earnings Per Share and Dividends Declared
The following table sets forth the calculation of basic net income (loss) per share and dividends declared per share ($ in
thousands, except per share data):
Three Months Ended | |||
June 30, 2025 | March 31, 2025 | ||
Net income (loss)(1) | $6,969 | $(357) | |
Weighted-average shares outstanding, basic | 171,893,905 | 172,004,888 | |
Net income (loss) per share, basic | $0.04 | $(0.00) | |
Dividends declared per share | $0.47 | $0.47 | |
(1)Represents net income (loss) attributable to Blackstone Mortgage Trust. Refer to Note 15 to our consolidated
financial statements for the calculation of diluted net (loss) income per share.
Distributable Earnings and Distributable Earnings Prior to Charge-Offs
Distributable Earnings and Distributable Earnings prior to charge-offs of CECL reserves are non-GAAP measures. We
define Distributable Earnings as GAAP net income (loss), including realized gains and losses not otherwise recognized in
current period GAAP net income (loss), and excluding (i) non-cash equity compensation expense, (ii) depreciation and
amortization, (iii) unrealized gains (losses), and (iv) certain non-cash items. Distributable Earnings may also be adjusted
from time to time to exclude one-time events pursuant to changes in GAAP and certain other non-cash charges as
determined by our Manager, subject to approval by a majority of our independent directors. Distributable Earnings mirrors
the terms of our management agreement between our Manager and us, or our Management Agreement, for purposes of
calculating our incentive fee expense. Therefore, Distributable Earnings prior to charge-offs of CECL reserves is calculated
net of the incentive fee expense that would have been recognized if such charge-offs had not occurred.
Our CECL reserves have been excluded from Distributable Earnings consistent with other unrealized gains (losses)
pursuant to our existing policy for reporting Distributable Earnings. We expect to only recognize such potential credit
losses in Distributable Earnings if and when such amounts are realized and deemed non-recoverable upon a realization
event. This is generally at the time a loan is repaid, or in the case of foreclosure, when the underlying asset is sold, but
realization and non-recoverability may also be concluded if, in our determination, it is nearly certain that all amounts due
will not be collected. The timing of any such credit loss realization in our Distributable Earnings may differ materially from
the timing of CECL reserves or charge-offs in our consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP.
The realized loss amount reflected in Distributable Earnings will equal the difference between the cash received, or
expected to be received, and the book value of the asset, and is reflective of our economic experience as it relates to the
ultimate realization of the loan.
We believe that Distributable Earnings provides meaningful information to consider in addition to our net income (loss)
and cash flow from operating activities determined in accordance with GAAP. We believe Distributable Earnings is a
useful financial metric for existing and potential future holders of our class A common stock as historically, over time,
Distributable Earnings has been a strong indicator of our dividends per share. As a REIT, we generally must distribute
60
annually at least 90% of our net taxable income, subject to certain adjustments, and therefore we believe our dividends are
one of the principal reasons stockholders may invest in our class A common stock. Refer to Note 17 to our consolidated
financial statements for further discussion of our distribution requirements as a REIT. Further, Distributable Earnings helps
us to evaluate our performance excluding the effects of certain transactions and GAAP adjustments that we believe are not
necessarily indicative of our current loan portfolio and operations, and is a performance metric we consider when declaring
our dividends.
Furthermore, we believe it is useful to present Distributable Earnings prior to charge-offs of CECL reserves to reflect our
direct operating results and help existing and potential future holders of our class A common stock assess the performance
of our business excluding such charge-offs. We utilize Distributable Earnings prior to charge-offs of CECL reserves as an
additional performance metric to consider when declaring our dividends. Distributable Earnings mirrors the terms of our
Management Agreement for purposes of calculating our incentive fee expense. Therefore, Distributable Earnings prior to
charge-offs of CECL reserves is calculated net of the incentive fee expense that would have been recognized if such
charge-offs had not occurred.
Distributable Earnings and Distributable Earnings prior to charge-offs of CECL reserves do not represent net income (loss)
or cash generated from operating activities and should not be considered as alternatives to GAAP net income (loss), or
indicators of our GAAP cash flows from operations, measures of our liquidity, or indicators of funds available for our cash
needs. In addition, our methodology for calculating Distributable Earnings and Distributable Earnings prior to charge-offs
of CECL reserves may differ from the methodologies employed by other companies to calculate the same or similar
supplemental performance measures, and accordingly, our reported Distributable Earnings and Distributable Earnings prior
to charge-offs of CECL reserves may not be comparable to similar metrics reported by other companies.

(1)Represents net income (loss) attributable to Blackstone Mortgage Trust.
(2)Represents realized losses related to loan principal amounts deemed non-recoverable.
(3)Represents depreciation of REO assets and amortization of intangible real estate assets and liabilities.
(4)Represents realized losses on the repatriation of unhedged foreign currency. These amounts were not included in
GAAP net income (loss), but rather as a component of other comprehensive income in our consolidated financial
statements.
(5)Allocable share of adjustments related to unconsolidated entities reflects our share of (i) non-cash items such as
depreciation and amortization, (ii) unrealized gains and losses recorded by such unconsolidated entities, if any, and
(iii) related adjustments for realized gains, if any.
(6)Represents (i) the non-cash income recognized under GAAP related to our Agency Multifamily Lending
Partnership, in which we receive a portion of origination, servicing, and other fees for loans we refer to MTRCC for
origination, offset by the related loss-sharing obligation accruals and (ii) the cash received related to such income
previously recognized under GAAP. Refer to Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements for additional
information on our Agency Multifamily Lending Partnership.
(7)The weighted-average shares outstanding, basic, exclude shares issuable from a potential conversion of our
Convertible Notes then outstanding. Consistent with the treatment of other unrealized adjustments to Distributable
Earnings, these potentially issuable shares are excluded until a conversion occurs. Refer to Note 15 to our
consolidated financial statements for the calculation of diluted net income per share.

(1)We use foreign currency forward contracts to protect the value or fix the amount of certain investments or cash
flows in terms of the U.S. dollar. We earn forward points on our forward contracts that reflect the interest rate
differentials between the applicable base rate for our foreign currency investments and prevailing U.S. interest rates.
These forward contracts effectively convert the foreign currency rate exposure for such investments to USD-
equivalent interest rates.
(2)In addition to cash coupon, all-in yield includes the amortization of deferred origination and extension fees, loan
origination costs, and purchase discounts, as well as the accrual of exit fees. Excludes loans accounted for under the
cost-recovery and nonaccrual methods, if any.
(3)Includes floating rate loans indexed to STIBOR, CORRA, BBSY, and SARON indices.

Collateral Diversification
(Net Loan Exposure)(1)(2)
______________
(1)Net loan exposure reflects the amount of each loan that is subject to risk of credit loss to us as of June 30, 2025,
which is our principal balance net of (i) $529.9 million of asset-specific debt, (ii) $109.2 million of cost-recovery
proceeds, (iii) our total loans receivable CECL reserve of $740.9 million, and (iv) $50.0 million of junior loan
interests that we have sold, but that remain included in our consolidated financial statements. Our asset-specific debt
and loan participations sold are structurally non-recourse and term-matched to the corresponding collateral loans.
Geographic locations that represent less than 1% of net loan exposure are excluded from the chart.
(2)Assets with multiple components are proportioned into the relevant collateral types based on the allocated value of
each collateral type.
Refer to section VI of this Item 2 for details of our loan portfolio, on a loan-by-loan basis.
Portfolio Management
As of June 30, 2025, 94% of our loans were performing with risk ratings of “1” through “4,” and the remaining 6% were
impaired with a risk rating of “5.” Of the performing loans, 99.2%, based on net loan exposure, were in compliance with
the applicable contractual terms. We believe this demonstrates the overall strength of our loan portfolio and the
commitment and financial wherewithal of our borrowers generally, which are primarily affiliated with large real estate
private equity funds and other strong, well-capitalized, and experienced sponsors.
We maintain a robust asset management relationship with our borrowers and utilize these relationships to maximize the
performance of our portfolio, including during periods of volatility. We believe that we benefit from these relationships and
from our long-standing core business model of originating senior loans collateralized by large assets in major markets with
experienced, well-capitalized institutional sponsors. While we believe the principal amounts of our loans are generally
adequately protected by underlying collateral value, there is a risk that we will not realize the entire principal value of
certain investments. As of June 30, 2025, we had an aggregate $558.8 million asset-specific CECL reserve related to 14 of
our loans receivable, with an aggregate amortized cost basis of $1.6 billion, net of cost-recovery proceeds. This CECL
66
reserve was recorded based on our estimation of the fair value of each of the loan's underlying collateral as of June 30,
2025.
Our portfolio monitoring and asset management operations benefit from the deep knowledge, experience, and information
advantages derived from our position as part of Blackstone Real Estate’s real estate platform. Blackstone Real Estate is the
largest owner of commercial real estate globally with over 12,500 commercial assets and a proven track record of
successfully navigating market cycles and emerging stronger through periods of volatility. The market-leading real estate
expertise derived from the strength of the Blackstone platform deeply informs our credit and underwriting process, and
gives us the tools to expertly asset manage our portfolio and work with our borrowers throughout periods of economic
stress and uncertainty.
As discussed in Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements, we perform a quarterly review of our loan portfolio, assess
the performance of each loan, and assign it a risk rating between “1” and “5”, from less risk to greater risk. Our loan
portfolio had a weighted-average risk rating of 3.1 and 3.0 as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.
The following table allocates the net book value and net loan exposure balances based on our internal risk ratings ($ in

CECL reserve | (740,851) | |||||
Loans receivable, net | $18,965,254 | |||||
(1)Net loan exposure reflects the amount of each loan that is subject to risk of credit loss to us as of June 30, 2025,
which is our principal balance net of (i) $529.9 million of asset-specific debt, (ii) $109.2 million of cost-recovery
proceeds, (iii) our total loans receivable CECL reserve of $740.9 million, and (iv) $50.0 million of junior loan
interests that we have sold, but that remain included in our consolidated financial statements. Our asset-specific debt
and loan participations sold are structurally non-recourse and term-matched to the corresponding collateral loans.
Current Expected Credit Loss Reserve
The CECL reserves required by GAAP reflect our current estimate of potential credit losses related to our loans and notes
receivable included in our consolidated balance sheets. Other than a few narrow exceptions, GAAP requires that all
financial instruments subject to the CECL model have some amount of loss reserve to reflect the principle underlying the
CECL model that all loans and similar assets have some inherent risk of loss, regardless of credit quality, subordinate
capital, or other mitigating factors.
During the three months ended June 30, 2025, we recorded a net decrease of $690,000 in the CECL reserves against our
loans receivable portfolio, primarily driven by a $48.4 million increase in our asset-specific CECL reserves, offset by a
$4.1 million decrease in our general CECL reserves and charge-offs of our CECL reserves of $45.1 million, bringing our
total loans receivable CECL reserve to $740.9 million as of June 30, 2025. The increase in our asset-specific CECL
reserves was primarily as a result of two additional loans that were impaired during the three months ended June 30, 2025,
of which one is secured by a life sciences / studio property and the other is secured by an office asset. The office sector is
generally facing reduced tenant and capital markets demand in recent years. Impairments are each determined individually
as a result of changes in the specific credit quality factors for such loans. These factors included, among others, (i) the
underlying collateral performance, (ii) discussions with the borrower, (iii) borrower events of default, and (iv) other facts
that impact the borrower’s ability to pay the contractual amounts due under the terms of the loan. The income accrual was
suspended on the two loans that were impaired during the three months ended June 30, 2025, as the recovery of income and
principal was doubtful. During the three months ended June 30, 2025, we recorded $5.3 million of interest income on these
loans. The charge-off of the CECL reserves was a result of a resolution of one previously impaired loan that was repaid
67
with proceeds from the sale of an office asset in San Jose, CA securing the loan. The decrease in our general CECL
reserves was primarily as a result of a continued improvement in the credit quality of our current portfolio as well as
macroeconomic conditions.
As of June 30, 2025, we had an aggregate $558.8 million asset-specific CECL reserve related to 14 of our loans receivable,
with an aggregate amortized cost basis of $1.6 billion, net of cost-recovery proceeds. This CECL reserve was recorded
based on our estimation of the fair value of each of the loan's underlying collateral as of June 30, 2025. No income was
recorded on our impaired loans subsequent to determining that they were impaired. During the three and six months ended
June 30, 2025, we received an aggregate $10.8 million and $29.8 million, respectively, of cash proceeds from such loans
that were applied as a reduction to the amortized cost basis of each respective loan.
As of June 30, 2025, one of our performing loans with an amortized cost basis of $195.0 million, inclusive of a
$50.0 million junior loan participation sold, was past its current maturity date, was greater than 90 days past due on its
interest payment, and had a risk rating of “3.” This loan was not impaired as of June 30, 2025 as the estimated fair value of
the underlying collateral exceeded our basis in the loan. Subsequent to June 30, 2025, this loan was repaid in full, including
the junior loan participation sold, with proceeds from a sale of the collateral securing the loan. As of June 30, 2025, all
other borrowers under performing loans were in compliance with the applicable contractual terms of each respective loan,
including any required payment of interest. Refer to Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements for further discussion
of our policies on revenue recognition and our CECL reserves.
Real Estate Owned
As part of our portfolio management strategy to maximize economic outcomes, we may hold certain real estate owned, or
REO, investments resulting from us acquiring title to or taking control of a loan’s underlying real estate collateral. As of
June 30, 2025, we had eight REO assets with an aggregate carrying value of $671.4 million.
Multifamily Joint Venture
As of June 30, 2025, our Multifamily Joint Venture held a $43.3 million loan, which is included in the loan disclosures
above. As of June 30, 2025, our Multifamily Joint Venture also held a $32.2 million REO asset. Refer to Note 2 to our
consolidated financial statements for additional discussion of our multifamily joint venture.
Agency Multifamily Lending Partnership
In the second quarter of 2024, we entered into our Agency Multifamily Lending Partnership that allows our borrowers to
access multifamily agency financing through MTRCC’s Fannie Mae DUS and Freddie Mac Optigo lending platforms. We
will receive a portion of origination, servicing, and other fees for loans that we refer to MTRCC for origination under both
the Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac programs. Additionally, we will share in losses with MTRCC and Fannie Mae on loans
that we refer to MTRCC for origination under the Fannie Mae program. During the three and six months ended June 30,
2025, we referred one loan to MTRCC.
Net Lease Joint Venture
In the fourth quarter of 2024, we entered into our Net Lease Joint Venture with a Blackstone-advised investment vehicle to
invest in triple net lease properties. Our investment in the joint venture is recorded on our consolidated balance sheets as an
investment in unconsolidated entities. As of June 30, 2025, our investment in unconsolidated entities related to the joint
venture totaled $52.2 million. During the six months ended June 30, 2025 we contributed $50.1 million to the joint venture,
did not receive any distributions, and recorded a $1.2 million loss from unconsolidated entities in our consolidated
statements of operations.
Bank Loan Portfolio Joint Venture
In the second quarter of 2025, we entered into our Bank Loan Portfolio Joint Venture with a Blackstone-advised
investment vehicle that acquired a $1.4 billion portfolio of 171 performing senior commercial real estate loans from a
regional bank. We have a 29% ownership interest in the joint venture and our allocable share of the loans is $416.4 million.
The loans are secured primarily by retail and multifamily properties located across various markets in the Mid-Atlantic
region, are primarily fixed rate, and were acquired at a discount to par.
68
Our Bank Loan Portfolio Joint Venture is recorded on our consolidated balance sheets as an investment in unconsolidated
entities. As of June 30, 2025, our investment in the joint venture totaled $55.9 million. During the three months ended
June 30, 2025, we contributed $57.6 million to the joint venture, did not receive any distributions, and recorded a $1.7
million loss from unconsolidated entities in our consolidated statements of operations primarily resulting from transaction
costs related to the portfolio acquisition.

Floating Rate Portfolio
Generally, our business model is such that rising interest rates will increase our net income, while declining interest rates
will decrease net income. As of June 30, 2025, 98% of our loans by principal balance earned a floating rate of interest,
primarily indexed to SOFR, and were financed with liabilities that pay interest at floating rates, which resulted in an
amount of net equity that is positively correlated to rising interest rates, subject to the impact of interest rate floors on
certain of our floating rate loans.
Our liabilities are generally currency and index-matched to each collateral asset, resulting in a net exposure to movements
in benchmark rates that varies by currency silo based on the relative proportion of floating rate assets and liabilities.

(4)Excludes $50.0 million of loan participations sold, as of June 30, 2025. Our loan participations sold are structurally
non-recourse and term-matched to the corresponding loans, and have no impact on our net floating rate exposure.
(5)Our loan agreements generally require our borrowers to purchase interest rate caps, which mitigates our borrowers’
exposure to an increase in interest rates.
(6)Excludes amounts related to our investments in unconsolidated entities.
(7)Includes amounts outstanding under secured debt, securitizations, and asset-specific debt.
(8)Includes amounts outstanding under Term Loans and the December 2024 Senior Secured Notes. In connection with
the issuance of the December 2024 Senior Secured Notes, we entered into an interest rate swap with a notional
amount of $450.0 million to effectively convert our fixed rate exposure to floating rate exposure for such notes.
(9)Represents the U.S. dollar equivalent as of June 30, 2025.
In addition to the risks related to fluctuations in cash flows and asset values associated with movements in interest rates,
there is also the risk of non-performance on floating rate assets. In the case of a significant increase in interest rates, the
cash flows of the collateral real estate assets may not be sufficient to pay debt service due under our loans, which may
contribute to non-performance or, in severe cases, default. This risk is partially mitigated by our consideration of rising rate
stress-testing during our underwriting process, which generally includes a requirement for our borrower to purchase an
interest rate cap contract with an unaffiliated third party, provide an interest reserve deposit, and/or provide interest
guarantees or other structural protections. During the six months ended June 30, 2025, interest rate caps on $4.4 billion of
performing loans, with a 4.0% weighted-average strike price, expired and 97% were replaced with new interest rate caps,
with a weighted-average strike price of 4.0%, or interest guarantees.

Income from loans and other investments, net
Income from loans and other investments, net increased $5.0 million during the three months ended June 30, 2025
compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025. The increase was primarily due to an increase in the weighted-
average principal balance of our loan portfolio by $1.6 billion during the three months ended June 30, 2025. This was
partially offset by an increase in the weighted-average principal balance of our outstanding financing arrangements by
$1.4 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025.
Revenue from real estate owned
Revenue from REO increased by $1.8 million during the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the three months
ended March 31, 2025. The increase was primarily due to the acquisition of one additional REO asset in February, as the
three months ended June 30, 2025 reflected a full quarter of income recognition compared to a partial period during the
three months ended March 31, 2025.
74
Other income
Other income relates to origination, servicing, and other fees recognized in connection with our Agency Multifamily
Lending Partnership. Other income increased by $141,000 during the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the
three months ended March 31, 2025, as a result of the referral of one loan pursuant to the Agency Multifamily Lending
Partnership during the three months ended June 30, 2025 that was originated and sold by MTRCC, with no corresponding
loan referrals during the three months ended March 31, 2025.
Expenses
Expenses include management and incentive fees payable to our Manager, general and administrative expenses, expenses
from real estate owned, and other expenses. Expenses increased by $2.2 million during the three months ended June 30,
2025 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025 primarily due to (i) a $1.5 million increase in expenses from real
estate owned as a result of the acquisition of one additional REO asset in February, as the three months ended June 30,
2025 reflected a full quarter of expense recognition compared to a partial period during the three months ended March 31,
2025, and (ii) an $862,000 increase in general and administrative expenses, primarily due to additional professional
services expenses and an increase in non-cash restricted stock amortization as a result of an accelerated vesting.
Changes in current expected credit loss reserve
During the three months ended June 30, 2025, we recorded a $45.6 million increase in our CECL reserves, as compared to
a $49.5 million increase during the three months ended March 31, 2025. The increase during the three months ended
June 30, 2025 is primarily due to a $48.4 million increase in our asset-specific CECL reserves, primarily due to two
additional loans that were impaired during the three months ended June 30, 2025, of which one is secured by a life
sciences / studio property and the other is secured by an office asset. The office sector is generally facing reduced tenant
and capital markets demand in recent years. These impairments are each determined individually as a result of changes in
the specific credit quality factors for such loans. These factors included, among others, (i) the underlying collateral
performance, (ii) discussions with the borrower, (iii) borrower events of default, and (iv) other facts that impact the
borrower’s ability to pay the contractual amounts due under the terms of the loan. This increase was partially offset by a
$4.1 million decrease in our general CECL reserves driven by a continued improvement in the credit quality of our current
portfolio as well as macroeconomic conditions.
We may be required to record further increases to our CECL reserves in the future, depending on the performance of our
portfolio and broader market conditions, and there may be volatility in the level of our CECL reserves. In particular, our
loans secured by office buildings have experienced higher levels of CECL reserves and may continue to do so if market
conditions relevant to office buildings do not improve. Any such reserve increases are difficult to predict, but are expected
to be primarily the result of incremental loan impairments resulting from changes in the specific credit quality factors of
such loans and to be concentrated in our loans receivable with a risk rating of “4” as of June 30, 2025.
Loss from unconsolidated entities
During the three months ended June 30, 2025, we recorded a $2.0 million loss from unconsolidated entities compared to an
$874,000 loss during the three months ended March 31, 2025. This increase was primarily due to our share of the
acquisition costs incurred by our Bank Loan Portfolio Joint Venture in June 2025. This was offset by additional income
generated from new investments in the Net Lease Joint Venture during the three months ended June 30, 2025.
Income tax provision
The income tax provision increased by $185,000 during the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the three
months ended March 31, 2025 primarily due to an increase in the income tax provisions related to our taxable REIT
subsidiaries.
Dividends per share
During both the three months ended June 30, 2025 and March 31, 2025, we declared dividends of $0.47 per share, or
$80.6 million in aggregate.

Income from loans and other investments, net
Income from loans and other investments, net decreased $84.5 million during the six months ended June 30, 2025
compared to the six months ended June 30, 2024. The decrease was primarily due to (i) a decrease in average floating rate
indices during the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2024, (ii) a decrease in the
weighted-average principal balance of our loan portfolio by $4.4 billion during the six months ended June 30, 2025
compared to the six months ended June 30, 2024, and (iii) a decline in interest income related to additional loans accounted
for under the cost-recovery method or loans that are now accounted for as REO assets during the six months ended
June 30, 2025 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2024. This was offset by a decrease in the weighted-average
principal balance of our outstanding financing arrangements by $3.1 billion during the six months ended June 30, 2025
compared to the six months ended June 30, 2024.
Revenue from real estate owned
Revenue from REO increased by $75.8 million during the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the six months
ended June 30, 2024 due to the acquisition of seven additional REO assets.
Gain on extinguishment of debt
Gain on extinguishment of debt decreased by $3.0 million during the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the six
months ended June 30, 2024. There was no debt repurchase activity during the six months ended June 30, 2025. During the
76
six months ended June 30, 2024 we recognized a gain on extinguishment of debt of $3.0 million related to the repurchase
of an aggregate principal amount of $26.2 million of our senior secured notes due 2027 at a weighted-average price of
88%.
Expenses
Expenses include management and incentive fees payable to our Manager, general and administrative expenses, expenses
from real estate owned, and other expenses. Expenses increased by $88.6 million during the six months ended June 30,
2025 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2024, primarily due to a $93.1 million increase in expenses from real
estate owned, which relates to REO operating expenses and amortization and depreciation of REO assets. The increase was
due to the acquisition of seven additional REO assets. This was partially offset by (i) a $3.4 million decrease in
management fees payable to our Manager, driven primarily by lower Distributable Earnings, and (ii) a $1.2 million
decrease in general and administrative expenses primarily due to a $1.8 million decrease in non-cash restricted stock
amortization related to shares awarded under our long-term incentive plans.
Changes in current expected credit loss reserve
During the six months ended June 30, 2025, we recorded a $95.1 million increase in our CECL reserves, as compared to a
$387.3 million increase during the six months ended June 30, 2024. The increase during the six months ended June 30,
2025 is primarily due to an increase in our asset-specific CECL reserves, primarily as a result of three additional loans that
were impaired during the six months ended June 30, 2025, two of which were secured by office assets, and one of which
was secured by a life sciences / studio asset. The office sector is generally facing reduced tenant and capital markets
demand in recent years. These impairments are each determined individually as a result of changes in the specific credit
quality factors for such loans. These factors included, among others, (i) the underlying collateral performance, (ii)
discussions with the borrower, (iii) borrower events of default, and (iv) other facts that impact the borrower’s ability to pay
the contractual amounts due under the terms of the loan. Additionally, we recorded an increase in our general CECL
reserves as a result of net portfolio growth, as well as changes in the historical loss rate.
We may be required to record further increases to our CECL reserves in the future, depending on the performance of our
portfolio and broader market conditions, and there may be volatility in the level of our CECL reserves. In particular, our
loans secured by office buildings have experienced higher levels of CECL reserves and may continue to do so if market
conditions relevant to office buildings do not improve. Any such reserve increases are difficult to predict, but are expected
to be primarily the result of incremental loan impairments resulting from changes in the specific credit quality factors of
such loans and to be concentrated in our loans receivable with a risk rating of “4” as of June 30, 2025.
Loss from unconsolidated entities
Loss from unconsolidated entities of $2.9 million represents our share of the acquisition costs incurred by our Bank Loan
Portfolio Joint Venture that acquired a portfolio of commercial mortgage loans in June 2025, as well as our share of the
loss incurred by the Net Lease Joint Venture during the six months ended June 30, 2025. There was no income or loss from
unconsolidated entities during the six months ended June 30, 2024.
Income tax provision
The income tax provision decreased by $598,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2025 as compared to the six months
ended June 30, 2024, due to a decrease in the income tax provisions related to our taxable REIT subsidiaries.
Dividends per share
During the six months ended June 30, 2025, we declared dividends of $0.94 per share, or $161.3 million in aggregate.
During the six months ended June 30, 2024, we declared dividends of $1.24 per share, or $215.3 million in aggregate.
IV. Liquidity and Capital Resources
Capitalization
We have capitalized our business to date primarily through the issuance and sale of shares of our class A common stock,
corporate debt, and asset-level financings. As of June 30, 2025, our capitalization structure included $3.6 billion of
common equity, $2.8 billion of corporate debt, and $13.7 billion of asset-level financings. Our $2.8 billion of corporate
77
debt includes $1.8 billion of Term Loan borrowings, $785.3 million of Senior Secured Notes, and $266.2 million of
Convertible Notes. Our $13.7 billion of asset-level financings includes $10.7 billion of secured debt, $2.5 billion of
securitizations, and $529.9 million of asset-specific debt, all of which are structured to produce term, currency, and index
matched funding with no margin call provisions based upon capital markets events.
As of June 30, 2025, we had $1.1 billion of liquidity that can be used to satisfy our short-term cash requirements and as
working capital for our business.
See Notes 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, and 13 to our consolidated financial statements for additional details regarding our secured
debt, securitized debt obligations, asset-specific debt, loan participations sold, Term Loans, Senior Secured Notes, and
Convertible Notes, respectively.
Debt-to-Equity Ratio and Total Leverage Ratio

(3)Represents, in each case at period end, the ratio of (i) total outstanding secured debt, asset-specific debt, Term
Loans, Senior Secured Notes, and convertible notes, less cash, to (ii) Adjusted Equity. Adjusted Equity is a non-
GAAP financial measure. Refer to “Adjusted Debt-to-Equity Ratio and Adjusted Total Leverage Ratio” below for
the definition of Adjusted Equity and a reconciliation to total equity.
(4)Represents, in each case at period end, the ratio of (i) total outstanding secured debt, securitizations, asset-specific
debt, Term Loans, Senior Secured Notes, and convertible notes, less cash, to (ii) total equity.
(5)Represents, in each case at period end, the ratio of (i) total outstanding secured debt, securitizations, asset-specific
debt, Term Loans, Senior Secured Notes, and convertible notes, less cash, to (ii) Adjusted Equity. Adjusted Equity is
a non-GAAP financial measure. Refer to “Adjusted Debt-to-Equity Ratio and Adjusted Total Leverage Ratio” below
for the definition of Adjusted Equity and a reconciliation to total equity.
Adjusted Debt-to-Equity Ratio and Adjusted Total Leverage Ratio
Our adjusted debt-to-equity and total leverage ratios are measures that are not prepared in accordance with GAAP, as they
are calculated using Adjusted Equity, which we define as our total equity, excluding the aggregate CECL reserves on our
loans receivable and unfunded loan commitments.
We believe that Adjusted Equity provides meaningful information to consider in addition to our total equity determined in
accordance with GAAP in the context of assessing our debt-to-equity and total leverage ratios. The adjusted debt-to-equity
and total leverage ratios are metrics we use, in addition to our unadjusted debt-to-equity and total leverage ratios, when
evaluating our capitalization structure, as Adjusted Equity excludes the unrealized impact of our CECL reserves, which
may vary from quarter-to-quarter as our loan portfolio changes and market and economic conditions evolve. We believe
these ratios, and therefore our Adjusted Equity, are useful financial metrics for existing and potential future holders of our
class A common stock to consider when evaluating how our business is capitalized and the relative amount of leverage in
our business.
Adjusted Equity does not represent our total equity and should not be considered as an alternate to GAAP total equity. In
addition, our methodology for calculating Adjusted Equity may differ from methodologies employed by other companies
78
to calculate the same or similar supplemental measures, and accordingly, our reported Adjusted Equity may not be
comparable to the Adjusted Equity reported by other companies.
The following table provides a reconciliation of Adjusted Equity to our GAAP total equity ($ in thousands):
June 30, 2025 | December 31, 2024 | ||
Total equity | $3,623,537 | $3,794,189 | |
Add back: aggregate CECL reserves | 754,711 | 746,495 | |
Adjusted Equity | $4,378,248 | $4,540,684 |
Sources of Liquidity
Our primary sources of liquidity include cash and cash equivalents, available borrowings under our secured debt facilities,
and net receivables from servicers related to loan repayments, which are set forth in the following table ($ in thousands):
June 30, 2025 | December 31, 2024 | ||
Cash and cash equivalents | $388,049 | $323,483 | |

Loan principal payments held by servicer, net(1) | 52,459 | 74,313 | |
$1,138,449 | $1,509,002 |
(1)Represents loan principal payments held by our third-party servicer as of the balance sheet date which were remitted
to us during the subsequent remittance cycle, net of the related secured debt balance.
During the six months ended June 30, 2025, we generated cash flow from operating activities of $157.7 million and
received $3.4 billion from loan principal collections, sales proceeds, and cost-recovery proceeds. Furthermore, we are able
to generate incremental liquidity through provisions of certain of our CLOs, which allow us to effectively replace a repaid
loan in the CLO by replenishment, increasing the principal amount of existing CLO collateral assets, or reinvestment,
purchasing an equal amount of new eligible CLO collateral, to maintain the aggregate amount of collateral assets in the
CLO, and the related financing outstanding.
We have access to further liquidity through public and private offerings of equity and debt securities, syndicated term
loans, and similar transactions. To facilitate public offerings, in July 2022, we filed a shelf registration statement with the
SEC that is effective for a term of three years and expires in July 2025. We intend to file a new shelf registration statement
with a three-year effective period shortly following the expiration of our existing shelf registration statement. The amount
of securities to be issued pursuant to this shelf registration statement was not specified when it was filed and there is no
specific dollar limit on the amount of securities we may issue. The securities covered by this registration statement include:
(i) class A common stock; (ii) preferred stock; (iii) depositary shares representing preferred stock; (iv) debt securities; (v)
warrants; (vi) subscription rights; (vii) purchase contracts; and (viii) units consisting of one or more of such securities or
any combination of these securities. The specifics of any future offerings, along with the use of proceeds of any securities
offered, will be described in detail in a prospectus supplement, or other offering materials, at the time of any offering.
We may also access liquidity through our dividend reinvestment plan and direct stock purchase plan, under which
9,967,334 shares of class A common stock were available for issuance as of June 30, 2025, and our “at the market” stock
offering program, pursuant to which we may sell, from time to time, up to $480.9 million of additional shares of our class
A common stock as of June 30, 2025. Refer to Note 15 to our consolidated financial statements for additional details.
Uses of Liquidity
In addition to funding our lending and other investment activity and our general operating expenses, our primary uses of
liquidity include interest and principal payments with respect to our $10.7 billion of outstanding borrowings under secured
debt, our asset-specific debt, our Term Loans, our Senior Secured Notes, and our Convertible Notes.
In July 2024, our board of directors authorized the repurchase of up to $150.0 million of our class A common stock. Under
the repurchase program, repurchases may be made from time to time in open market transactions, in privately negotiated
transactions, in agreements and arrangements structured in a manner consistent with Rules 10b-18 and 10b5-1 under the
79
Exchange Act or otherwise. The timing and the actual amounts repurchased will depend on a variety of factors, including
legal requirements, price and economic and market conditions. The repurchase program may be changed, suspended or
discontinued at any time and does not have a specified expiration date.
During the six months ended June 30, 2025, we repurchased 1,794,936 shares of class A common stock at a weighted-
average price per share of $17.63, for a total cost of $31.6 million. As of June 30, 2025, the amount remaining available for
repurchases under the program was $89.2 million.
From time to time we have repurchased and may continue to repurchase our outstanding debt or shares of our class A
common stock. Such repurchases, if any, will depend on prevailing market conditions, our liquidity requirements,
contractual restrictions, and other factors. The amounts involved in any such purchase transactions, individually or in the
aggregate, may be material.
As of June 30, 2025, we had unfunded commitments of $1.4 billion related to 58 loans receivable and $666.1 million of
committed or identified financing for those commitments resulting in net unfunded commitments of $746.0 million. The
unfunded loan commitments comprise funding for capital expenditures and construction, leasing costs, and interest and
carry costs. Loan funding commitments are generally subject to certain conditions, including, without limitation, the
progress of capital projects, leasing, and cash flows at the properties securing our loans. Therefore, the exact timing and
amounts of such future loan fundings are uncertain and will depend on the current and future performance of the
underlying collateral assets. We expect to fund our loan commitments over the remaining term of the related loans, which
have a weighted-average future funding period of 2.6 years.

(1)Represents known and estimated short-term cash requirements related to our contractual obligations and
commitments. Refer to “Sources of Liquidity” above for information about our sources of funds to satisfy our short-
term cash requirements.
(2)The allocation of our unfunded loan commitments is based on the earlier of the commitment expiration date or the
final loan maturity date, however we may be obligated to fund these commitments earlier than such date.
(3)Our secured debt and asset-specific debt agreements are generally term-matched to their underlying collateral.
Therefore, the allocation of both principal and interest payments under such agreements is generally allocated based
on the maximum maturity date of the collateral loans, assuming all extension options are exercised by the borrower.
In limited instances, the maturity date of the respective debt agreement is used.
(4)The Term Loans are partially amortizing, with an amount equal to 1.0% per annum of the initial principal balance
due in quarterly installments. Refer to Note 11 to our consolidated financial statements for further details on our
Term Loans.
(5)Reflects the outstanding principal balance of Convertible Notes, excluding any potential conversion premium. Refer
to Note 13 to our consolidated financial statements for further details on our Convertible Notes.
(6)Represents interest payments on our secured debt, asset-specific debt, Term Loans, Senior Secured Notes, and
convertible notes. Future interest payment obligations are estimated assuming the interest rates in effect as of
June 30, 2025 will remain constant into the future. This is only an estimate as actual amounts borrowed and interest
rates will vary over time.
(7)Total does not include $2.5 billion of consolidated securitized debt obligations and $50.0 million of loan
participations sold, as the satisfaction of these liabilities will not require cash outlays from us.
We are also required to settle our foreign exchange and interest rate derivatives with our derivative counterparties upon
maturity which, depending on foreign currency exchange and interest rate movements, may result in cash received from or
due to such counterparties. The table above does not include these amounts as they are not fixed and determinable. Refer to
Note 14 to our consolidated financial statements for details regarding our derivative contracts.
We are required to pay our Manager a base management fee, an incentive fee, and reimbursements for certain expenses
pursuant to our Management Agreement. The table above does not include the amounts payable to our Manager under our
Management Agreement as they are not fixed and determinable. Refer to Note 16 to our consolidated financial statements
for additional terms and details of the fees payable under our Management Agreement.
As a REIT, we generally must distribute substantially all of our net taxable income to stockholders in the form of dividends
to comply with the REIT provisions of the Internal Revenue Code. Our taxable income does not necessarily equal our net
income as calculated in accordance with GAAP, or our Distributable Earnings as described above.

We experienced a net increase in cash and cash equivalents of $55.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025,
compared to a net increase of $26.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. During the six months ended June 30,
2025, we (i) received $3.4 billion from loan principal collections and sales proceeds, (ii) received $831.3 million of net
proceeds from the issuance of a securitized debt obligation, and (iii) received a net $453.4 million under our secured debt
borrowings. Also, during the six months ended June 30, 2025, we (i) funded $3.4 billion of loans, (ii) repaid a net
$705.6 million of asset-specific financings, (iii) repaid $169.9 million of securitized debt obligations, (iv) paid
$161.9 million of dividends on our class A common stock, (v) invested $107.7 million in unconsolidated entities, and (vi)
paid $31.7 million to repurchase shares of our class A common stock.

V. Other Items
Income Taxes
We have elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code for U.S. federal income tax purposes. We
generally must distribute annually at least 90% of our net taxable income, subject to certain adjustments and excluding any
net capital gain, in order for U.S. federal income tax not to apply to our earnings. To the extent that we satisfy this
distribution requirement, but distribute less than 100% of our net taxable income, we will be subject to U.S. federal income
tax on our undistributed taxable income. In addition, we will be subject to a 4% nondeductible excise tax if the actual
amount that we pay out to our stockholders in a calendar year is less than a minimum amount specified under U.S. federal
tax laws.
Our qualification as a REIT also depends on our ability to meet various other requirements imposed by the Internal
Revenue Code, which relate to organizational structure, diversity of stock ownership, and certain restrictions with regard to
the nature of our assets and the sources of our income. Even if we qualify as a REIT, we may be subject to certain U.S.
federal income and excise taxes and state and local taxes on our income and assets. If we fail to maintain our qualification
as a REIT for any taxable year, we may be subject to material penalties as well as federal, state, and local income tax on
our taxable income at regular corporate rates and we would not be able to qualify as a REIT for the subsequent four full
taxable years. As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we were in compliance with all REIT requirements.
Furthermore, our taxable REIT subsidiaries are subject to federal, state, and local income tax on their net taxable income.
Refer to Note 17 to our consolidated financial statements for additional discussion of our income taxes.
Critical Accounting Policies
Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based upon our consolidated financial
statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires us
to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses, and related
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from these estimates. We evaluated our critical
accounting policies and believe them to be appropriate. The following is a summary of our significant accounting policies
that we believe are the most affected by our judgments, estimates, and assumptions:
82
Current Expected Credit Losses
The current expected credit loss, or CECL, reserve required under the FASB Accounting Standards Codification, or ASC,
Topic 326 “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses,” or ASC 326, reflects our current estimate of potential credit losses
related to our portfolio. We estimate our CECL reserves primarily using the Weighted-Average Remaining Maturity, or
WARM method, which has been identified as an acceptable loss-rate method for estimating CECL reserves in the Financial
Accounting Standards Board Staff Q&A Topic 326, No. 1. Estimating the CECL reserve requires judgment, including the
following assumptions:
•Historical loan loss reference data: To estimate the historic loan losses relevant to our portfolio, we have
augmented our historical loan performance with market loan loss data licensed from Trepp LLC. This database
includes commercial mortgage-backed securities, or CMBS, issued since January 1, 1999 through May 31, 2025.
Within this database, we focused our historical loss reference calculations on the most relevant subset of available
CMBS data, which we determined based on loan metrics that are most comparable to our loan portfolio including
asset type, geography, and origination loan-to-value, or LTV. We believe this CMBS data, which includes month-
over-month loan and property performance, is the most relevant, available, and comparable dataset to our
portfolio.
•Expected timing and amount of future loan fundings and repayments: Expected credit losses are estimated over
the contractual term of each loan, adjusted for expected repayments. As part of our quarterly review of our loan
portfolio, we assess the expected repayment date of each loan, which is used to determine the contractual term for
purposes of computing our CECL reserves. Additionally, the expected credit losses over the contractual period of
our loans are subject to the obligation to extend credit through our unfunded loan commitments. The CECL
reserve for unfunded loan commitments is adjusted quarterly, as we consider the expected timing of future
funding obligations over the estimated life of the loan. The considerations in estimating our CECL reserve for
unfunded loan commitments are similar to those used for the related outstanding loans receivable.
•Current credit quality of our portfolio: Our risk rating is our primary credit quality indicator in assessing our
CECL reserves. We perform a quarterly risk review of our portfolio of loans and assign each loan a risk rating
based on a variety of factors, including, without limitation, origination LTV, debt yield, property type, geographic
and local market dynamics, physical condition, cash flow volatility, leasing and tenant profile, loan structure and
exit plan, and project sponsorship.
•Expectations of performance and market conditions: Our CECL reserves are adjusted to reflect our estimation of
the current and future economic conditions that impact the performance of the commercial real estate assets
securing our loans. These estimations include unemployment rates, interest rates, expectations of inflation and/or
recession, and other macroeconomic factors impacting the likelihood and magnitude of potential credit losses for
our loans during their anticipated term. In addition to the CMBS data we have licensed from Trepp LLC, we have
also licensed certain macroeconomic financial forecasts to inform our view of the potential future impact that
broader economic conditions may have on our loan portfolio’s performance. We generally also incorporate
information from other sources, including information and opinions available to our Manager, to further inform
these estimations. This process requires significant judgments about future events that, while based on the
information available to us as of the balance sheet date, are ultimately indeterminate and the actual economic
condition impacting our portfolio could vary significantly from the estimates we made as of June 30, 2025.
•Impairment: impairment is indicated when it is deemed probable that we will not be able to collect all amounts
due to us pursuant to the contractual terms of the loan. Determining that a loan is impaired requires significant
judgment from management and is based on several factors including (i) the underlying collateral performance,
(ii) discussions with the borrower, (iii) borrower events of default, and (iv) other facts that impact the borrower’s
ability to pay the contractual amounts due under the terms of the loan. If a loan is determined to be impaired, we
record the impairment as a component of our CECL reserves by applying the practical expedient for collateral
dependent loans. The CECL reserves are assessed on an individual basis for these loans by comparing the
estimated fair value of the underlying collateral, less costs to sell, to the book value of the respective loan. These
valuations require significant judgments, which include assumptions regarding capitalization rates, discount rates,
leasing, creditworthiness of major tenants, occupancy rates, availability and cost of financing, exit plan, loan
sponsorship, actions of other lenders, and other factors deemed relevant by us. Actual losses, if any, could
ultimately differ materially from these estimates. We only expect to charge off the impairment losses in our
consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP if and when such amounts are deemed non-
recoverable. This is generally at the time a loan is repaid or foreclosed. However, non-recoverability may also be
concluded if, in our determination, it is nearly certain that all amounts due will not be collected.
These assumptions vary from quarter-to-quarter as our loan portfolio changes and market and economic conditions evolve.
The sensitivity of each assumption and its impact on the CECL reserves may change over time and from period to period.
83
During the six months ended June 30, 2025, our CECL reserves increased by $8.2 million, bringing our total reserves to
$754.7 million as of June 30, 2025. See Notes 2 and 3 to our consolidated financial statements for further discussion of our
CECL reserves.
Revenue Recognition
Interest income from our loans receivable portfolio is recognized over the life of each investment using the effective
interest method and is recorded on the accrual basis. Recognition of fees, premiums, and discounts associated with these
investments is deferred and recorded over the term of the loan as an adjustment to yield. Income accrual is generally
suspended for loans at the earlier of the date at which payments become 90 days past due or when, in our opinion, recovery
of income and principal becomes doubtful. Interest received is then recorded as income or as a reduction in the amortized
cost basis, based on the specific facts and circumstances, until accrual is resumed when the loan becomes contractually
current and performance is demonstrated to be resumed. In addition, for loans we originate, the related origination expenses
are deferred and recognized as a reduction to interest income, however expenses related to loans we acquire are included in
general and administrative expenses as incurred.
Real Estate Owned
We may assume legal title or physical possession of the collateral underlying a loan through a foreclosure, a deed-in-lieu of
foreclosure transaction, or a loan modification in which we receive an equity interest in and/or control over decision-
making at the property, resulting in us consolidating the real estate assets as VIEs. These real estate acquisitions are
classified as real estate owned, or REO, on our consolidated balance sheet and are initially recognized at fair value on the
acquisition date in accordance with the ASC Topic 805, “Business Combinations.”
Upon acquisition of REO, we assess the fair value of acquired tangible and intangible assets, which may include land,
buildings, tenant improvements, “above-market” and “below-market” leases, acquired in-place leases, other identified
intangible assets and assumed liabilities, as applicable, and allocate the fair value to the acquired assets and assumed
liabilities. We assess and consider fair value based on estimated cash flow projections that utilize discount and/or
capitalization rates that we deem appropriate, as well as other available market information. Estimates of future cash flows
are based on a number of factors including the historical operating results, known and anticipated trends, and market and
economic conditions. We capitalize acquisition-related costs associated with asset acquisitions.
Real estate assets held for investment, except for land, are depreciated using the straight-line method over the assets’
estimated useful lives of up to 40 years for buildings and 10 years for tenant improvements. Renovations and/or
replacements that improve or extend the life of the asset are capitalized and depreciated over their estimated useful lives.
Lease intangibles are amortized over the remaining term of applicable leases on a straight-line basis. The cost of ordinary
repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred.
Real estate assets held for investment are assessed for impairment on a quarterly basis. If the depreciated cost basis of the
asset exceeds the undiscounted cash flows over the remaining holding period, the asset is considered for impairment. The
impairment loss is recognized when the carrying value of the real estate assets exceed their fair value. The evaluation of
anticipated future cash flows is highly subjective and is based in part on assumptions regarding future occupancy, rental
rates, capital requirements and anticipated holding periods that could differ materially from actual results.
Real estate assets are classified as held for sale in the period when they meet the criteria under ASC Topic 360 “Property,
Plant, and Equipment.” Once a real estate asset is classified as held for sale, depreciation is suspended and the asset is
reported at the lower of its carrying value or fair value less cost to sell. If circumstances arise and we decide not to sell a
real estate asset previously classified as held for sale, the real estate asset is reclassified as held for investment. Upon
reclassification, the real estate asset is measured at the lower of (i) its carrying amount prior to classification as held for
sale, adjusted for depreciation expense that would have been recognized had the real estate been classified as held for
investment, and (ii) its estimated fair value at the time of reclassification.
As of June 30, 2025, we had eight REO assets which were all classified as held for investment.

(1)Senior loans include senior mortgages and similar credit quality loans, including related contiguous subordinate loans and pari passu participations in senior mortgage
loans.
(2)Date loan was originated or acquired by us, and the LTV as of such date, excluding any loans that are impaired and any junior participations sold. Origination dates are
subsequently updated to reflect material loan modifications.
(3)Total commitment reflects outstanding principal balance as well as any related unfunded loan commitment.
(4)Net book value represents outstanding principal balance, net of purchase and sale discounts or premiums, exit fees, deferred origination expenses, and cost-recovery
proceeds.
(5)The weighted-average cash coupon and all-in yield are expressed as a spread over the relevant floating benchmark rates, which include SOFR, SONIA, EURIBOR,
CORRA, and other indices as applicable to each loan. As of June 30, 2025, 98% of our loans by principal balance earned a floating rate of interest, primarily indexed to
SOFR. The remaining 2% of our loans by principal balance earned a fixed rate of interest. In addition to cash coupon, all-in yield includes the amortization of deferred
origination and extension fees, loan origination costs, and purchase discounts, as well as the accrual of exit fees. Excludes loans accounted for under the cost-recovery and
nonaccrual methods, if any.
(6)Maximum maturity assumes all extension options are exercised; however, our loans may be repaid prior to such date. Excludes loans accounted for under the cost-
recovery and nonaccrual methods, if any.
(7)The net book value of these loans includes junior loan interests that we have sold, but that remain included in our consolidated financial statements.
(8)This loan has an interest rate of SOFR minus 1.30% with a SOFR floor of 3.50%, for an all-in rate of 3.02% as of June 30, 2025.

ITEM 3.QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Interest Rate Risk
Investment Portfolio Net Interest Income
Generally, our business model is such that rising interest rates will increase our net income, while declining interest rates
will decrease net income. As of June 30, 2025, 98% of our loans by principal balance earned a floating rate of interest,
primarily indexed to SOFR, and were financed with liabilities that pay interest at floating rates, which resulted in an
amount of net equity that is positively correlated to changing interest rates, subject to the impact of interest rate floors on
certain of our floating rate loans.
The following table projects the earnings impact on our interest income and expense, presented net of implied changes in
incentive fees, for the twelve-month period following June 30, 2025, of an increase in the various floating-rate indices
referenced by our portfolio, assuming no change in credit spreads, portfolio composition, or asset performance, relative to
the average indices during the three months ended June 30, 2025 ($ in thousands):
Assets (Liabilities) Sensitive to Changes in Interest Rates(1) | Interest Rate Sensitivity as of June 30, 2025(2)(3) | |||||||||
Increase in Rates | Decrease in Rates | |||||||||
50 Basis Points | 100 Basis Points | 50 Basis Points | 100 Basis Points | |||||||
Floating rate assets(4)(5)(6) | $17,801,211 | $71,068 | $142,272 | $(70,708) | $(135,774) | |||||
Floating rate liabilities(5)(7) | (15,937,045) | (63,948) | (127,896) | 63,859 | 127,671 | |||||
Net exposure | $1,864,166 | $7,120 | $14,376 | $(6,849) | $(8,103) | |||||
(1)Reflects the USD equivalent value of floating rate assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies.
(2)Increases (decreases) in interest income and expense are presented net of theoretical impact of incentive fees. Refer
to Note 16 to our consolidated financial statements for additional details of our incentive fee calculation.
(3)Excludes income from loans accounted for under the cost-recovery method.
(4)Excludes $1.7 billion of floating rate impaired loans.
(5)Excludes a $50.0 million loan participation sold, which is structurally non-recourse and term-matched to the
corresponding loan, and has no impact on our net floating rate exposure.
(6)Our loan agreements generally require our borrowers to purchase interest rate caps, which mitigates our borrowers’
exposure to an increase in interest rates.
(7)Includes amounts outstanding under secured debt, securitizations, asset-specific debt, Term Loans, and the senior
secured notes due 2029, for which we entered into an interest rate swap with a notional amount of $450.0 million
that effectively converts our fixed rate exposure to floating rate exposure for such notes.
Investment Portfolio Value
As of June 30, 2025, 98% of our loans by principal balance earned a floating rate of interest, so the value of such
investments is generally not impacted by changes in market interest rates. Additionally, we generally hold all of our loans
to maturity and so do not expect to realize gains or losses resulting from any mark to market valuation adjustments on our
loan portfolio.
Risk of Non-Performance
In addition to the risks related to fluctuations in cash flows and asset values associated with movements in interest rates,
there is also the risk of non-performance on floating rate assets. In the case of a significant increase in interest rates, the
cash flows of the collateral real estate assets may not be sufficient to pay debt service due under our loans, which may
contribute to non-performance or, in severe cases, default. This risk is partially mitigated by our consideration of rising rate
stress-testing during our underwriting process, which generally includes a requirement for our borrower to purchase an
interest rate cap contract with an unaffiliated third party, provide an interest reserve deposit, and/or provide interest
guarantees or other structural protections. As of June 30, 2025, 92% of our performing loans had interest rate caps, with a
weighted-average strike price of 3.6%, or interest guarantees. During the six months ended June 30, 2025, interest rate caps
on $4.4 billion of performing loans, with a 4.0% weighted-average strike price, expired and 97% were replaced with new
interest rate caps, with a weighted-average strike price of 4.0%, or interest guarantees.
92
Credit Risks
Our loans are subject to credit risk, including the risk of default. The performance and value of our loans depend upon the
borrowers’ ability to operate the properties that serve as our collateral so that they produce cash flows adequate to pay
interest and principal due to us. To monitor this risk, our asset management team reviews our loan portfolios and, in certain
instances, is in regular contact with our borrowers, monitoring performance of the collateral and enforcing our rights as
necessary.
In addition, we are exposed to the risks generally associated with the commercial real estate market, including changes in
occupancy rates, capitalization rates, absorption rates, and other macroeconomic factors beyond our control. We seek to
manage these risks through our underwriting and asset management processes.
We maintain a robust asset management relationship with our borrowers and utilize these relationships to maximize the
performance of our portfolio, including during periods of volatility. We believe that we benefit from these relationships and
from our long-standing core business model of originating senior loans collateralized by large assets in major markets with
experienced, well-capitalized institutional sponsors. While we believe the principal amounts of our loans are generally
adequately protected by underlying collateral value, there is a risk that we will not realize the entire principal value of
certain loans. As of June 30, 2025, we had an aggregate $558.8 million asset-specific CECL reserve related to 14 of our
loans receivable, with an aggregate amortized cost basis of $1.6 billion, net of cost-recovery proceeds. This CECL reserve
was recorded based on our estimation of the fair value of each of the loan’s underlying collateral as of June 30, 2025.
Our portfolio monitoring and asset management operations benefit from the deep knowledge, experience, and information
advantages derived from our position as part of Blackstone’s real estate platform. Blackstone has built the world's
preeminent global real estate business, with a proven track record of successfully navigating market cycles and emerging
stronger through periods of volatility. The market-leading real estate expertise derived from the strength of the Blackstone
platform deeply informs our credit and underwriting process, and we believe gives us the tools to expertly asset manage
our portfolio and work with our borrowers throughout periods of economic stress and uncertainty.
Capital Market Risks
We are exposed to risks related to the equity capital markets, and our related ability to raise capital through the issuance of
our class A common stock or other equity instruments. We are also exposed to risks related to the debt capital markets, and
our related ability to finance our business through borrowings under credit facilities or other debt instruments. As a REIT,
we are required to distribute a significant portion of our taxable income annually, which constrains our ability to
accumulate operating cash flow and therefore requires us to utilize debt or equity capital to finance our business. We seek
to mitigate these risks by monitoring the debt and equity capital markets to inform our decisions on the amount, timing, and
terms of capital we raise.
Margin call provisions under our credit facilities do not permit valuation adjustments based on capital markets events, and
are limited to collateral-specific credit marks generally determined on a commercially reasonable basis.
Counterparty Risk
The nature of our business requires us to hold our cash and cash equivalents and obtain financing from various financial
institutions. This exposes us to the risk that these financial institutions may not fulfill their obligations to us under these
various contractual arrangements. We mitigate this exposure by depositing our cash and cash equivalents and entering into
financing agreements with high credit-quality institutions.
The nature of our loans also exposes us to the risk that our counterparties do not make required interest and principal
payments on scheduled due dates. We seek to manage this risk through a comprehensive credit analysis prior to making a
loan and active monitoring of the asset portfolios that serve as our collateral, as further discussed above.
Currency Risk
Our loans that are denominated in a foreign currency are also subject to risks related to fluctuations in currency rates. We
generally mitigate this exposure by matching the currency of our assets to the currency of the financing for our assets. As a
result, we substantially reduce our exposure to changes in portfolio value related to changes in foreign currency rates. In
addition, substantially all of our net asset exposure to foreign currencies has been hedged with foreign currency forward
contracts as of June 30, 2025.
