[Management View]
Seven Hills Realty reported distributable earnings of $4.2 million or $0.29 per share for Q3 2025, aligning with the high end of guidance. The company declared a regular quarterly dividend of $0.28 per share, representing an 11% annualized yield. The portfolio consists of $642 million in floating rate first mortgage commitments with a weighted average yield of 8.2% and a loan-to-value of 67%. All loans are current on debt service, with no nonaccrual balances.

[Outlook]
The company anticipates distributable earnings of $0.29-$0.31 per share for Q4 2025, driven by recent and pending loan originations and SOFR trends. Estimated net portfolio growth is approximately $100 million for the full year from year-end 2024. The pipeline includes over $1 billion in loan opportunities, with a shift towards acquisition financing indicating renewed market confidence.

[Financial Performance]
Distributable earnings were in line with consensus and at the top of internal guidance. Loan repayments since April 1 reduced earnings by $0.06 per share, while originations contributed $0.03 per share. The company maintains a conservative CECL reserve at 150 basis points of total loan commitments.

[Q&A Highlights]
Question 1: Could you rehash through the repayments expected for the remainder of the year? (Line breaks here)
Answer: The only expected repayment before year-end is a $15.3 million loan. The bulk of repayments is projected for Q3 and Q4 of 2026.

Question 2: Based on the College Park loan closing, are you expecting more loans to close throughout the year? (Line breaks here)
Answer: Yes, we expect to close 3 to 4 more loans by year-end. Sourcing is primarily through traditional channels and direct sponsorship, with a focus on higher-yielding loans.

Question 3: Does the CECL reserve change with lower SOFR rates? (Line breaks here)
Answer: The CECL reserve could change with lower rates, but it is influenced by multiple factors. We add back the CECL reserve to distributable earnings as it is a noncash item.

Question 4: Are you seeing increased demand for multifamily equity? (Line breaks here)
Answer: Yes, there is demand for both debt and equity in the multifamily sector, driven by loan maturities and acquisition opportunities.

Question 5: Are banks becoming less active in multifamily debt markets? (Line breaks here)
Answer: Larger banks remain active and competitive, while smaller regional banks are more selective due to balance sheet concerns.

Question 6: Is the increase in cash balances due to timing of repayments? (Line breaks here)
Answer: Yes, cash balances increased due to $54 million in repayments and $34 million in new loans. This supports expected originations in Q4.

Question 7: Does the $0.03 EPS from originations include fees? (Line breaks here)
Answer: Yes, origination fees are included in the yield, typically contributing $0.01 per quarter.

Question 8: Are you at a trough for NIM compression? (Line breaks here)
Answer: We believe we are at the trough, with expectations to identify transactions that offer outsized returns.
