BrightSpire Capital Announces Second Quarter 2022 Financial Results

NEW YORK–(BUSINESS WIRE)–BrightSpire Capital, Inc. (NYSE: BRSP) today announced its financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2022 and certain updates. The Company reported second quarter 2022 GAAP net income attributable to common stockholders of $34.3 million, or $0.26 per share, and Distributable Earnings and Adjusted Distributable Earnings of $31.4 million, or $0.24 per share. The Company reported GAAP net book value of $11.26 per share and undepreciated book value of $12.42 per share as of June 30, 2022. 

Michael J. Mazzei, Chief Executive Officer, commented, “BrightSpire Capital had another successful quarter, reporting quarterly Adjusted Distributable Earnings of $0.24 per share and a quarterly dividend increase to $0.20 per share. This earnings and dividend growth is the direct result of robust loan originations over the last 18 months and a prudent balance sheet, which is well-positioned for the long haul.”

Mr. Mazzei continued, “With the current ‘risk off’ market conditions, BrightSpire will be maintaining higher levels of cash liquidity until there is market stability and, like many lenders, is only selectively quoting new loans. We will be ready to resume more active lending once macroeconomic conditions improve.”
