Q2 FY2026 EarningsFY26 Q2 results presented a mixed profile, beating GAAP expectations while missing on core distributable metrics. GAAP EPS of $0.34 exceeded the $0.24 consensus, primarily driven by a $44.6M net gain on derivatives and a $25.3M gain on securitized debt. However, Net Interest Income (Revenue) of $58.6M slightly missed the $59.6M consensus, and Distributable Earnings of $12.2M fell well short of the $22.8M normalized income target. This shortfall was largely due to $24.5M in realized credit losses as the company accelerated the resolution of non-performing loans. GAAP Book Value of $12.71 missed the $12.94 consensus, though Economic Book Value remained resilient at $13.20.
