Ready Capital faced a challenging fourth quarter with significant GAAP and distributable losses, primarily driven by a $150 million provision for loan losses and realized losses on investment sales. Despite these headwinds, the company is executing a liquidity plan to reposition equity away from 'Covid-vintage' production and recently completed a major $855 million loan sale subsequent to quarter-end.
Reported a GAAP loss from continuing operations of $232.6 million, or $(1.46) per share.
Distributable loss per share was $(0.43), or $(0.09) before realized losses on investments.
Book value per share declined to $8.79 as of December 31, 2025.
Subsequent to the quarter, the company sold 34 loans with an unpaid principal balance of $855.3 million to improve liquidity.
Management is focused on executing a liquidity plan to reposition the company's equity and support greater financial stability following the commercial real estate cycle pressures.
