Granite Point Mortgage Trust Inc. Reports Third Quarter 2017 Financial Results

and Post-Quarter End Business Update

NEW YORK,November 6, 2017–Granite Point Mortgage Trust Inc.(NYSE: GPMT), a commercial real estate investment trust (REIT) focused on directly originating, investing in and managing senior floating rate commercial mortgage loans and other debt and debt-like commercial real estate investments, today announced its financial results for the quarter endedSeptember 30, 2017and provided an update on its activities subsequent to quarter-end. A presentation containingthird quarter2017highlights and an investment update can be viewed atwww.gpmortgagetrust.com.

Third Quarter 2017 Summary

• Delivered GAAP net income of $11.5 million or $0.27 per common share; Core Earnings of $11.9 million or $0.28 per common share⁽¹⁾; taxable income of $14.3 million or $0.33 per common share; and book value of $19.22 per common share.

• Closed11senior floating rate commercial real estate loans with total commitments of approximately$450.4 millionhaving a weighted average stabilized loan-to-value ratio (LTV) of 66%⁽²⁾ and a weighted average yield of LIBOR + 4.89%⁽³⁾; funded $379.8 million of principal balance of loans and an additional $13.6 million of existing loan commitments, bringing total fundings to $393.4 million.

• Owned a portfolio with a principal balance of $2.2 billion, which was 97% floating rate in predominantly senior commercial mortgage loans with a weighted average stabilized LTV of 64%.⁽²⁾ 

Activity Post Quarter-End

• Generated a pipeline of senior floating rate commercial real estate loans with total commitments of over $320 million, and initial funding loan amounts of over $240 million, which have either closed or are in the closing process, subject to fallout.

• Amended one financing facility to increase borrowing capacity by $100 million, bringing total borrowing capacity to $2.1 billion; in negotiations to amend a second financing facility to increase borrowing capacity by $250 million, bringing total borrowing capacity to $2.3 billion, subject to closing conditions.

"The last few months have been quite active between completing our IPO, establishing a significant initial $2 billion borrowing capacity with several large financial institutions, and commencing the investment of capital backed by our robust loan origination pace," stated Jack Taylor, Granite Point's President and Chief Executive Officer. "We are pleased to have originated in excess of $450 million of loans during the third quarter at attractive yields. We believe that our differentiated relative value investment approach, our proven origination platform and diversified portfolio of senior floating rate loans will allow us to deliver attractive stockholder returns going forward.  We are proud of our progress since we became a public company and are optimistic about the future of our business."

(1) Core Earnings is a non-U.S. GAAP measure that we define as comprehensive income attributable to common stockholders, excluding “realized and unrealized gains and losses” (impairment losses, realized and unrealized gains or losses on the aggregate portfolio and non-cash compensation expense related to restricted common stock). We believe the presentation of Core Earnings provides investors greater transparency into our period-over-period financial performance and facilitates comparisons to peer REITs. Please see page 4 for a reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP financial information.

(2) Stabilized LTV is calculated as the fully funded loan amount (plus any financing that is pari passu with or senior to such loan), including all contractually provided for future fundings, divided by the as stabilized value (as determined in conformance with USPAP) set forth in the original appraisal. As stabilized value may be based on certain assumptions, such as future construction completion, projected re-tenanting, payment of tenant improvement or leasing commissions allowances or free or abated rent periods, or increased tenant occupancies.

(3) Yield includes net origination fees and exit fees, but does not include future fundings, and is expressed as a monthly equivalent yield.
