Metrics also remained stable post exploration of Covid support measures.
Building off of record first quarter [noise] R. S. B C like lending segment grew 7.
17% quarter over quarter originating of record 1.1 billion with increased volume across all on products. This volume increases indicative of ready capital of differentiated product offering as the leading non-bank capital of provider for S. P. C property owners lifecycle of financing from heavy transitional to stabilize agency intervention of products.
Additionally, we remain focused on the lower beta mhm CRE sectors evident in our second quarter production remaining concentrated in cash flow and the multifamily which accounted for 87% of volume.
All for S. B C segments provided strong contributions.
The first transitional loan originations posted a record of 807 million across forty-seven loans. The segment is benefiting from post COVID-19 demand by strong sponsors looking to either acquire a reposition previously performing underperforming assets.
Relevant metrics on the quarters originations include on average loan side of the 15 million spread of LIBOR, plus 375 and of LIBOR floor of twenty-five basis points.

Second are fixed rate lending activities rebound and for the first time since COVID-19 across both are structured fixed rate loan N C. M D S products and.
The total we originated 53 million of fixed rate products.

Increased demand was bolstered by attractive rates, which are 3% and top tier markets with Freddie being especially aggressive on our SPL product as it qualifies for the 50% FHFA affordability mandate.
Based on our current expectations, we expect our annual Freddiemac production of be 20% higher than 2020 evident in on 118 million dollar of money up pipeline.
Finally on the acquisition side, we're starting to see opportunities and have a current pipe line of 1.3 billion and 192 million in closing.

Kind of posts Covid small business demand for capital and human capital and technology investments.
We have made in or if the business pay dividends in the second quarter.
Originations in the quarter, where 146 million of record for our business and 190 per cent growth.
From my quarters volume.
Volume was driven by increased demand from reopening small businesses the less conventional credit supply of.
Thanks for your loan Officer survey showed lagging cyclical easing of credit guidelines.

In addition to record volumes.

He returns to the other floating rate guarantee the best friend and.
The historic flow prepayment feet.
We were taking several.
The measures to capture 70 market share, including the following.
First human capital.
We continue to hire top S. P. A talent, adding 30 for staff from the last 3 quarters for.
Moreover, with P. P P. Lori more banks into a few of lending we feel it prudent to hire entry level of college students, who trained to take advantage of the expertise in the industry to build the future leaders in our organization.
Second marketing and.
On the first quarter, we hired a senior level of marketing executive to the felt custom programs, specifically targeting various segments of the S. C. A 7 a market.

And third technology.
We have made it enhances for front and origination systems designed to enhance the client experience the bill deficiencies in the process.

The second quarter.
We have originated 3 million of small loans for the target annual volume of 30 million for 2021 and target annual rate run rate of 100 million.
I want to say that as of as an organization. We are proud of our efforts and P. P. P through COVID-19.
We concluded round 2 of the program by originally $2.2 billion in loans, which supported the 72000 businesses nationwide.
Our focus on mom and pop businesses throughout the program of life perfectly with our belief that small businesses are the backbone to our economy.
The result of the P. P. P have brought an industry participation in the S C lending and future small business day man, particularly as it relates to the Internet enabled credit access.
The disruption with the pandemic with small businesses have proven the S. B a lending will be of needed solution to help main street businesses of teen capital to expand and grow their businesses.
Cause ready capital of so quick to meet the needs directly coming out of the recent pandemic with P. P. P. We are well positioned to mine and.
And lead generation Alice.
The list of over 100000 P. P P borrowers and numerous potential affinity.
Partners to grow are 7.8 volume.
We look forward to continuing relationships with these borrowers and will continue to expand our capabilities to help small businesses finance their ambitions.
With that I will turn it back to Tom.

And a residential mortgage business origination for me an elevated at 1.1 billion, but as expected cyclical March of compression resulted in the quarterly margins declining 85 basis points, averaging 107 basis for it.
During the quarter of purchase volume of Vertiginous historical run rates of 56% of total production G. M. F. As his focus on purchase origination channels for a blunt the decline of refi volume, but the Fhfa's recent removal of the 50 basis point adverse market the will prolong the reify boom.
Additionally of high retention rate of 28% 8 of the growth of our servicing assets.
2 over 10 billion of balance with a low pool lack of free and a half percent.
We expect volume to remain around 1 billion for the third quarter with reductions in the fourth quarter do the seasonality of potential rate increases.
Now in terms of the portfolio of loans held for investment groove $680 million of 5.2 billion and remain highly diversified across 4500 loans than the average loan balance of only 1.2 million.
Unlike our peers, we have little seen the loss of concentration risk for the largest loan representing under 2% of the gross portfolio.
For them instead of the portfolio inclusive of our Freddie Mac loans remains stable with 60 day, plus delinquencies under 2.5% and credit metrics continuing to be attractive with an average L. T V of 66%.
The training for a corporate development in terms of both on acquisition of the new products, we're making great strides use efforts.
We announced the last week the acquisition of Redstone companies to expand our multifamily agency origination business. We welcome the rest on team to the ready capital of family of the Natural addition to our existing agency channels for.
That's down to the Freddie Mac license multifamily service or with over for 2 billion of originations since its formation in 2000 to.
The primary focus is providing construction and permanent financing for the preservation of construction of of of affordable housing nationwide through the use of tax exempt bonds the business.
[noise] generates recurring revenue primarily through origination and servicing fees.
We believe that under the ready capital of an umbrella redstone disposition to the only maintain the spark of leadership, but expand its reach and position in the states red.
The Red sounds will also further ready capitals ESG focus on affordable housing.
In terms of of new products and our acquisition segment, we continue to leverage the global investment sourcing of our external manager waterfall.
New sector initiatives include 100 million dollar allocation to a waterfall lower middle market CRE equity fun on which ready capital of shares in the G. P promote.
75 millions of housing lot loans and the U S.
$50 million flow commitment for housing construction loans in the U K.
And the $25 billion flow commitment for retail manufacturing housing loans to park operators.
These new sector allocation serve as beta sides of the potential future program rollout the continued to diversify our core SPC investment strategy.
So in terms of the stability in outlook of earnings as we move ahead we.
We continue to grow core earnings with a combination of of net interest margin from post Covid capital redeployment in our S. B C. C. R. A segment supplemented by continued earnings strength in our government sponsored gain on sale businesses.
In addition to the earnings from these 2 course segments increase the acquisition activity and recognition of P. P. T income will drive attractive returned over the next few quarters.
We believe these collective tailwinds will more than offset a reduction in residential mortgage banking on revenue as the industry normalizes our business model of continues to demonstrate the competitive advantage of our embedded operating company as well as the diversity of our entry points into small balance of commercial lending with that I'll turn it over the Andrew the to discuss the financial.
Thank you Tom and good morning, everybody.

Revenue from residential mortgage banking was off 41 for sad to 10.7 million.

We expect production and margin levels to remain similar in the third quarter.
In the corner of net additions to the MSR. We're all set by of 4.7 million dollar valuation decline due to the movement and C. P. R assumptions, we believe the MSR to have significant embedded value due to the lower whack and increase balance.
Additional income statement items of note include a 4.2 million dollar increase in the income from joint venture as our theory equity investments move through the execution of business plans and a 6.1 million dollar increase in the operating expenses due to increased employee compensation accruals increased dollar.

P. P P assets screwed, the 2.3 billion in our finance through the P. P. P L off the.
The assets are held net of a 95 million dollar discount, which represents unrecognized fees that will be accreted into income over the next few quarters.
We also expect to receive 65 basis points on the gross value of the P. P. P loans, which is the difference between the hundred basis point right I'm alone in the 35 basis point cost of funds on the P. P O laugh.
In addition, we book.
R&D reserves of 3.7 million on P. P. P assets to account for the remaining uncertainty in the program.
On the right side of the balance sheet would continue to focus on maintaining appropriate recourse leverage ratios and reducing our cost of funds the.
The start we completed on our 10th securitization of acquire loans the deal securitized $233 million of assets had advanced had an advanced rate of 80 per cent and a weighted average cost of funds of 160 basis points.

With that I'll turn it back over the top.
Thanks, Andrew ready.
The capital differentiated strategy and diversified model continues to deliver superior returns for our investors. The continued efforts to increase our scale capture market share and expand our entry points into the small balance commercial sector will serve the shareholders well into the future with that will open the line for questions.
Thank you if you would like to register for the question. Please for the 1 followed by the for on your telephone you won't hear of of 3 Tom from Chili acknowledged your request [laughter]. If your question has been answered and you would like to withdraw from especially the 1 and the tree.
Our first question from the line of Christian Love with pay for Sandler. Please go ahead.
Thanks for the morning, the 1 the acquisition pipe line looks of roughly doubled sequentially and it's definitely the highest that I've seen that can you speak to some of the loan acquisition opportunities you're seeing on the market and then and what's driving not significantly higher pipeline.
Yeah. The there's a really 2 factors well 1 factor as it accounts for the majority of of it which is that.
As for Barents, an eviction and other COVID-19 measures are starting to roll off for.
We're starting to see a lot of banks address the problems directly on terms of their portfolios and and most of what we're seeing of scratching dance not you know TFC type of excess leverage. So we're definitely seeing a a number of especially regional and community banks looking to offload CRE risk Ah and targeting a.
Ratio of under 250% of tier 1 cap at all so that's that's the bulk of it and then [noise].
As we mentioned we also are diversifying [noise], our portfolio into new outside of new asset classes like the UK housing construction in the.
And CRE equity sort of of that accounts for the the balance of of.
[laughter].
Okay, Great. That's helpful. And then just 1 on P. P. P on the balance of that.
About 2.2 billion of P. P P loans uhm.
How many quarters do you estimate that the fetish it takes for those loans to run off the balance of it and then just the reminder, what's the additional P. P. P income they expect to realize over the next several quarters.
[noise] Hi, Kristen. So you know our best guess is that that balance will run off.
Over to the 4 quarters, if you look at.
Around 1 production it took about a year for the.
The majority of those loans to be forgiven.
And then as you look at the income profile.
There are still $95 million of unrecognized the income that will flow through interest income over that time period in.
In addition to the Kerry of of the assets, which is 65 basis points.
The the the recognition in terms of quarter over quarter of recognition is gonna be a little choppy and that.
The recognition of that discount.
Will be really based on velocity of forgiveness, but we do expect that to play.
Play out some time over the next to the 4 quarters.
Okay, Great. That's it for me thanks for taking my questions.
It was for.
Our next question is from Christopher Nolan with the Lennon Brook Thumbing. Please go ahead.
Hey, guys calm as the 42 cent dividend the new base dividend going forward.
And are you on a that's on that.
I think the board I'll continue to evaluate [noise] the increased earnings from our core businesses I've sent P. P P and the <unk>.
Dish into the.
The recognition of P. P. P income in setting that dividend you know I don't want to speak for them, but I would expect based on the current profile.
That the 42 cent dividend is stable in the near term [laughter], Okay, and given the that implies the 11% expected return.
Is that the new baseline, we shall look I'd rather than the 10% target.
[noise], Yeah, certainly over the next few quarters with P. P. T. I would say you know 11 as I've Ah base. When you add in 95 million plus of income plus the carry on T. V. Belong in addition to what our core business that is certainly trending tour.
Towards.
You know that 40 cent range of.
I would say about 11% of is probably the baseline for the time being and as P. P. P runs off.
Think what you'll you'll see is that runway.
Really provides the pot too you know the growth in our core businesses that we've been we've been talking about.
Great. That's it for me, it's like I guess.
That's true.
Our next question is from the line of Tim Hayes would be T. I T. Please go ahead.
Hey, good morning, guys. Congrats on a nice quarter. My my first question just on capital transactions you highlighted the sixth Cra's yellow you're on the market way of potentially of C. N. B S transaction fixed rates in the transaction 8 year and you also have 180 million of of 7 and a half senior notes coming due.
Do early next year I'm, just curious I, you know kind of of maybe a 2 part question of you just when you think you'll look to addressing those notes and how you might do show and and if you feel the need to hold on to some excess liquidity to address you know of or just the hold onto it until those notes or address and then if there's.
Any other transactions that you might be entertaining would love to hear your thoughts.
Yeah in terms of the the the senior secured you know we are exploring all options to.
Sort of take advantage of what is an attractive market for for issuers, you know what that looks like I think we're still exploring but it could be.
Uhm using securities we have in the past such as baby bonds, maybe at a refinance of the senior secret, but also potentially looking at newer avenues for us like the term loan or how you deal. So you know that is something I would expect to see from us sooner rather than later and then in terms of.
The.
You know brought her of capital markets activity as I said, we are.
Pricing the 6 CRE CLO. This week before year end I do expect will do of 70 L 9 plus the C.
The M B I steal the Tom described and then potentially also doing an acquired the old depending on the pipe line. So I think we'll be busy.
All over the the remaining.
Well for more months or so of the.
Yeah, it sounds like it.
Okay. That's that's helpful. And then you know you mentioned I think Tom mentioned on this call. The spend some time on the last call I'm talking about you know the opportunity in Europe and doing some more lending. There can you just talk about the resources you have there the the the offices and what they've been you know do you have boots on the ground there.
Originating loans Alrighty, you know I'm, just trying to get a feel for the kind of the the infrastructure and the resources you have to to source small balance of commercial loans in Europe, right, now and and what the opportunity it looks like for Ya.
Yeah the [noise].
The the external manager has about 25, 30 staff and the opposition London double on in Spain.
[noise] that's about it over 1 billion of net assets, probably a couple of billion of gross assets in loans and and structured credit. So that team is deeply of she has the ability of the source.
A number of flow programs with.
A bridge and small balance lenders in those markets most ratio of would be committed to housing construction loans in the in the in the UK previously.
Previously we had a deal and have any currently have a flow of programming and Ireland.
The company called origin, and so we are going to look to continue to expand those those relationships, but we do have boots on the ground asset managers.
[noise] originators that source of these and document these transactions and also they're they're fully hedged in the spot on the spot market.
Okay.
So how does the gross or are we on on the the I guess those flow program loans compared to what your originating here.
Alright, and the Army base is about 150 basis points higher row after the after the swap costs.
Okay. So a lot less competitive there there's a lot of money in Europe, that's been chasing since the G. F. C. M. P. L is not in a lot of money doing reperforming or providing of liquidity for the for the.
The sponsors to buy these properties that are coming out of work out so that you see a niche there and we're going to look to continue to capitalize on that.
Got it Okay. That's helpful. And then my last question just on the Redstone acquisition can you. Maybe you know just give us more of a feel for how meaningful. This is for you I understand wanting to go more affordable that's probably the right thing of do given the new administration change of the FHFA and.
What their agenda might look like but you know how meaningful of this for you from like an equity in for them and the earning the standpoint does it meaningfully accelerate your originations and kind of of the the agency multifamily space I'm, just trying to get a feel for for what this means for Ya.
Yeah, maybe there's 2 answers that question you know Adam briefly maybe you can just discuss the business strategy in terms of how it fits with our existing Friday.
And the old tick and then Andrew just touch on the earnings contribution [noise].
Yeah sure Hi, Hi, this is Adams out on it yeah. So you know Redstone you know there there's certainly a very strong Y tech originator of right they've been around since 2002, there of market leader in the space.
The expensive stanfill time with the team you know in the highly experienced in the space right that there there are Freddie Mac license service or so that the things up very well with our product line. They also have very strong J V partners.
You know from of collateral perspective, I'd ready capital right multifamily is definitely of space.
There were extremely focused on giving given the involving our environment.
There's there's the significant tenant demand for affordable housing right across the United States, and and and properties that redstone's involved in often have lengthy weightless and there's also a nominal impact from events such as the pandemic.
The majority of the rent for subsidizing casually stable. This is certainly a new a new low risk product for ready capital that enhances the diversification of from a credit perspective of an income stream.
And the team's gonna continue to operate as is with the strong pipeline and significant government government's support for facilitating of affordable housing project. So you know I've got the things I'm extremely well with our investment strategy.
[noise], Yeah, and then in terms of the balance sheet, you know roughly 70 million in equity upfront with some you know earn out components over time and in terms of pretax net income expectation you know roughly 10 million and 22 with a quote from there.
Okay. I appreciate the comments are adamant, Andrew I'm gonna leave it there and thanks for getting guys.
Sure.
Our next question is from the Stephen line with Raymond James. Please go ahead with your question Sir.
Hi, good morning.
Andrew Andrew is follow up Tyler question on the the Triple P income I think 95 million, but I guess over that balance the runs off to the 4 years are sorry to the 4 quarters is there any deferred costs that we net out of that or or how do we think about how much of that drops to the bottom line.
Yeah. The the majority of that will drop to the bottom of the line D. The upfront cost them to produce the P. P. P loans are embedded in that discount and have you.
You know I've been captured ready with that being said there'll be some ancillary variable costs related to forgiveness processing over the period, but I'm pretty minimal.
Right. So so very high margins there [noise].
Appreciate that I wanted to ask for a little more color on the <unk> for the residential banking you know margins it looks like you know.
The the deck 1 O 7 for the quarter of it level of off the 93 quarter around in the prepared remarks. So thank you guys did you expect them to be largely flat, but wondering if you could give some color around margins and corresponding retail or wholesale where which ones of those experienced the most pressure and kind of what have you seen of July.
[noise] Andrew on touch on the Yeah, certainly when you look at certainly when you look at sort.
Sort of of the trends over the last month in our wholesale on correspondent.
Mm channels. The compression has been much more pronounced so you know at quarter and you're seeing margins in the retail channels around 130 basis points compared to something more like 50 basis points from this other channels. So I would expect that the.
You fairly similar going for it.
Okay, Great and then the along that business line of you know do you guys think your your staff the appropriately or as you look out you know into a swollen refi environment. You know how do you think by the intend to manage expenses or or is everything really variable there. So.
It'll take care of yourself.
Jim F S. They've been doing this since 1999, there and they they rank in terms of Ah cost per loan.
In terms of Opex Ah top top quartile of being the lowest the best and the way. They do it is true of significant reliance on qualified.
Outsourced underwriters and closest so I think we of a relatively higher variable cost structure than other other lenders with Ah obviously of hire purchase and retail percentage, which provides for a little bit more are earning stability across the the rate cycle.
Well I appreciate the comments Sir Thanks for your time is 1 of them.
That's true.
As a reminder, if you would like to register for a question. Please press the 1 followed by the for.
Our next question is from Matthew How's it with the be Riley. Please go ahead.
Like the morning, guys. Thanks for taking my question.
The balance she's growing ice on and I know that that net interest income is gonna be moving up over the next few of course I just wanted to focus on.
The the the margin of the games on margins on the the multifamily. Thank you. So the 169 on the Friday and the the S. P. A net sell premium sure it's 13% of.
Those normalised levels are they running of bulb historical average is how do we think about you know this is.
The sustainability of those margins the longer term.
[noise], yes, certainly in the in the 7 a the space you know historically, they've run 10% to 11% so they're a little elevated now the other thing I will add as you look at the earnings profile of going for it is you haven't started to sell them.
Some percentage of our 7 day production.
At lower premiums them in an effort to.
Build of higher servicing stripes, yeah on right you know so.
So when you look I had you know.
In general we've decided for a portion of of the assets the cell closer to that historical norm or the 10 per cent premium which results you know in of higher servicing stripes. So there is no gain on sale income due to the excess servicing there and then in the Freddie Mac space you know they've been.
Running you know right around that 150 basis points for for for quite some time so.
Maybe a little bit higher on the corner, but pretty normal on.
[noise], so what you're saying is you gave up some of the again on selling the S. B a this quarter from higher of tension of the the the the service for shrimp.
Starting in the third quarter.
Starting with the recording got it okay that does that will effectively spread out more.
More of those earnings on that segment as it grows.
Yeah, well he didn't kill increase the size of the duration of of the servicing strip.
Gotcha, Okay. Good.
Okay and then.
With the P. P income coming in and you know you you outlined some of the acquisition to the best friends. He made and the company. The technology could you just sort of go over it looks like you're gonna have sort of the the booster.
Boost earnings the at least the next 4 to 6 quarters.
The what.
How can you out of like in terms of you know raising.
Raising the dividend buying back stock are making these investments.
What can you tell us in terms of how you think about excess earnings and how that will be you know the allocated of returned to shareholders.
And do you want to touch on that.
[noise] Yeah. So you know as you said and the the first quarter of the board of sort of the outline that the.
The recognition of P. P P income well.
He can sort of it as part of the normalized dividend.
So what I'll say, though is the P. P. T income did stand on it or Trs entities right. So.
There is the ability to.
Retain some of those earning in the form of book value appreciation overtime.
And so you know depending upon.
How taxable income at the end of the year of which is highly dependent on the distribution of those P. P. P.
The revenue streams up from the Trs So how 'bout taxable income at the end of the year of compares to.
You know our.
Our dividends paid there may be a need for a special dividend, but I would say the board is really considering that income is part of our sort of of stable dividend strategy going for it [laughter], yeah, and and just to add to what [noise]. The understanding 1 of the flexibility of of our business model are starting to tire of our financial structure is as a origination reed.
We have the trs's of them have the ability the take excess capital on either and in this case retain and grow of book value for you always Andrew said look at the increasing the dividend it's unlikely since we're trading at.
At book or higher that we would bite back shares because of that would not be of creatives.

Along the pathway to sit on at least single digit H P. I in the U S and select the European markets of we're looking at the commercial aspects of that as evidenced by the lot low on transactions, we've done in Texas and the housing construction in the U K.

Hi, This is Sarah.
For of Jade. My first question is do you distribute the little EPS sustainable at current level or should we expect and moderation in the back half of 21 and 22.
Yeah, I think the you know as you look at the earnings profile in the current quarter.
What you see is our core business is producing.
You know income levels at pre Covid norms, right and that includes a pretty substantial reduction from a residential sector and so when you take those levels and you add on the need to flow through now.
$95 million plus the P. P P income over that cheetah for peer quarter period.
And it gives us an idea of of.
You know what what that earnings profile looks like.
Uh-huh.
Thank you and my second question is could you. Please provide an update on credit what percentage of London that credit portfolio are 9 of cool and how does that compare with the last quarter.
And what percentage or if you need the link lamp.
Yeah sure of hike Hi, this is Adam on the on on C. R. On theory portfolio performance 60 day delinquencies yours is 2.8%.
Verse is about 1% prepandemic.
We feel sore, 3% 60 pluses of healthy target in this environment, certainly seeing stabilization trends across the portfolio 30 day delinquencies less than 1% less than 1% of the portfolios under for parents today, 85% of inspired Forbearances remain current you know we continue to upgrade our risk of wars and.
<unk> loans that for better performing for 3 consecutive months both post for Barron's.
The Nonaccruals today, Andrew is that that's that's the 3% correct versus.
2 and Ah.
About 2.
2.8% last the last quarter.
Yeah.
And then you know in in comparison on the theory portfolio C.
C N bass kind of ones have 60, plus the link in the sea levels about twice of what ready capital is at around around 5%. So the <unk>.
Sure the performance remains extremely healthy.
And today the portfolio has.
It has the experience.
Zero lost through that kind of.
That's great. Thanks for taking my question.
Thank you for our next our next question is from Chris Miller like J M. P. Securities. Please go ahead.
Hey, guys. The thanks for taking the question just a click on from me. So on the transitional alone can you just talk about was there a deliberate shift from you guys over the last 2 quarters to originate higher volumes of that or was it a shift in the market that.
Like I said the man came to you and then where do you expect that quarterly origination right to normalize that it looks like the pipelines dropping a little bit but still pretty strong.
Yeah, all the photo Adam [noise], whose heavily involved on on the production side, but.
As far as the overall brigit market and demand for the the bridge product is definitely a cover the fact, we're seeing which we think of his legs into early 20th 22 and that's basically.
The sponsors that have have a minor for the.
Increases in vacancy due to the Covid like multifamily work force multifamily what have you there [noise] electing to do bridge instead of permanent financing to you know the.
Spend on the deferred capex or or play on Capex that they were gonna do anyway, just upgrade the property. So there's that plus there's higher transaction volume with weak sponsors selling the strong sponsors, but without Adam would you what would you what would you comment on in terms of the pipeline what we're seeing there.
Yeah, I mean, you know Tom still still seeing tremendous activity from are from a bridge platform.
Certainly the focus from of credit perspectives on on clean of deals with high degree of confidence in the business plans.
You know our sweet spot has really been good casually multifamily and industrial.
Attractive markets with limited credit story, the strategies, mostly due to the stress environment as as as Tom mentioned.
You know and you know.
Selectively executing larger you'll.
See the average balance of of our portfolio is going up the beds the word selectively executing larger multifamily loans.
Where where in the market now with the C. L O of about 90% plus of that portfolio isn't the multifamily space. You know that continues to be you know an asset class of we you know, we like and you know again, especially in this in this environment.
