Receivables [Abstract]

Overall Statistics for Loans Receivable Portfolio

The following table details overall statistics for our loans receivable portfolio ($ in thousands):

	March 31, 2021			December 31, 2020
Number of loans		121			120
Principal balance	$	17,143,102		$	16,652,824
Net book value	$	16,888,002		$	16,399,166
Unfunded loan commitments(1)	$	3,457,326		$	3,160,084
Weighted-average cash coupon(2)		L + 3.23	%		L + 3.18	%
Weighted-average all-in yield(2)		L + 3.56	%		L + 3.53	%
Weighted-average maximum maturity (years)(3)		3.1			3.1

________________ 

(1)	Unfunded commitments will primarily be funded to finance our borrowers’ construction or development of real estate-related assets, capital improvements of existing assets, or lease-related expenditures. These commitments will generally be funded over the term of each loan, subject in certain cases to an expiration date.
(2)	The weighted-average cash coupon and all-in yield are expressed as a spread over the relevant floating benchmark rates, which include USD LIBOR, GBP LIBOR, EURIBOR, STIBOR, BBSY, and CDOR, as applicable to each loan. As of March 31, 2021, 99.5% of our loans by principal balance earned a floating rate of interest, primarily indexed to USD LIBOR, and $14.0 billion of such loans earned interest based on floors that are above the applicable index. The other 0.5% of our loans earned a fixed rate of interest. We reflect our fixed rate loans as a spread over the relevant floating benchmark rates, as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively, for purposes of the weighted-averages. As of December 31, 2020, 99.4% of our loans by total loan exposure earned a floating rate of interest, primarily indexed to USD LIBOR, and $13.7 billion of such loans earned interest based on floors that are above the applicable index. 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 method.
(3)	Maximum maturity assumes all extension options are exercised by the borrower, however our loans may be repaid prior to such date. As of March 31, 2021, 35% of our loans by principal balance were subject to yield maintenance or other prepayment restrictions and 65% were open to repayment by the borrower without penalty. As of December 31, 2020, 31% of our loans by principal balance were subject to yield maintenance or other prepayment restrictions and 69% were open to repayment by the borrower without penalty.
