Forward-Looking Statements

 

The information contained in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q is not a complete description of our business or the risks associated with an investment in Arbor Realty Trust, Inc.  We urge you to carefully review and consider the various disclosures made by us in this report.

 

This report contains certain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such forward-looking statements relate to, among other things, the operating performance of our investments and financing needs. We use words such as “anticipate,” “expect,” “believe,” “intend,” “should,” “will,” “may” and similar expressions to identify forward-looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements include these words.  Forward-looking statements are based on certain assumptions, discuss future expectations, describe future plans and strategies, contain projections of results of operations or of financial condition or state other forward-looking information.  Our ability to predict results or the actual effect of future plans or strategies is inherently uncertain.  These forward-looking statements involve risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results in future periods to differ materially from forecasted results.  Factors that could have a material adverse effect on our operations and future prospects include, but are not limited to, changes in economic conditions generally and the real estate market specifically; adverse changes in our status with government-sponsored enterprises affecting our ability to originate loans through such programs; changes in interest rates; the quality and size of the investment pipeline and the rate at which we can invest our cash; impairments in the value of the collateral underlying our loans and investments; changes in federal and state laws and regulations, including changes in tax laws; the availability and cost of capital for future investments; and competition. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on any of these forward-looking statements, which reflect management’s views as of the date of this report.  The factors noted above could cause our actual results to differ significantly from those contained in any forward-looking statement.

 

Additional information regarding these and other risks and uncertainties we face is contained in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017 (the “2017 Annual Report”) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on February 23, 2018 and in our other reports and filings with the SEC.

 

Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements.  We are under no duty to update any of the forward-looking statements after the date of this report to conform these statements to actual results.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

March 31, 2018

 

Note 1 — Description of Business

 

Arbor Realty Trust, Inc. (the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) is a Maryland corporation formed in 2003. We operate through two business segments: our Structured Loan Origination and Investment Business (“Structured Business”) and our Agency Loan Origination and Servicing Business (“Agency Business”). Through our Structured Business, we invest in a diversified portfolio of structured finance assets in the multifamily and commercial real estate markets, primarily consisting of bridge and mezzanine loans, including junior participating interests in first mortgages, preferred and direct equity. We may also directly acquire real property and invest in real estate-related notes and certain mortgage-related securities. Through our Agency Business, we originate, sell and service a range of multifamily finance products through the Federal National Mortgage Association (“Fannie Mae”) and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“Freddie Mac,” and together with Fannie Mae, the government-sponsored enterprises, or the “GSEs”), the Government National Mortgage Association (“Ginnie Mae”), Federal Housing Authority (“FHA”) and the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (together with Ginnie Mae and FHA, “HUD”) and conduit/commercial mortgage-backed securities (“CMBS”) programs. We retain the servicing rights and asset management responsibilities on substantially all loans we originate and sell under the GSE and HUD programs. We are an approved Fannie Mae Delegated Underwriting and Servicing (“DUS”) lender nationally, a Freddie Mac Multifamily Conventional Loan lender, seller/servicer, in New York, New Jersey and Connecticut, a Freddie Mac affordable, manufactured housing, senior housing and small balance loan (“SBL”) lender, seller/servicer, nationally and a HUD MAP and LEAN senior housing/healthcare lender nationally.

 

We have operated the Agency Business since July 2016 when we acquired it from Arbor Commercial Mortgage, LLC (“ACM” or our “Former Manager”). We were externally managed and advised by ACM and, effective May 31, 2017, terminated the existing management agreement with ACM to fully internalize our management team. Please refer to our 2017 Annual Report for details of our acquisition of the Agency Business (the “Acquisition”) and termination of the management agreement.

 

Substantially all of our operations are conducted through our operating partnership, Arbor Realty Limited Partnership (“ARLP”), for which we serve as the general partner, and ARLP’s subsidiaries. We are organized to qualify as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Certain of our assets that produce non-qualifying income, primarily within the Agency Business, are operated through taxable REIT subsidiaries (“TRS”), which is part of our TRS consolidated group (the “TRS Consolidated Group”) and is subject to U.S. federal, state and local income taxes. See Note 17 — Income Taxes for details.

 

Note 2 — Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies

 

Basis of Presentation

 

Our interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”), for interim financial statements and the instructions to Form 10-Q.  Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the consolidated financial statements prepared under GAAP have been condensed or omitted.  In our opinion, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of our financial position, results of operations and cash flows have been included and are of a normal and recurring nature.  The operating results presented for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the entire year. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and notes thereto included in our 2017 Annual Report.

 

Reclassification

 

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. See the following “Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements” section for the cash flows impact of the retrospective adoption of Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows: Restricted Cash and ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows.

Principles of Consolidation

 

These consolidated financial statements include our financial statements and the financial statements of our wholly owned subsidiaries, partnerships and other joint ventures in which we own a controlling interest, including variable interest entities (“VIEs”) of which we are the primary beneficiary.  Entities in which we have a significant influence are accounted for under the equity method. See Note 15 — Variable Interest Entities for information about our VIEs. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that could materially affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Significant Accounting Policies

 

We describe our significant accounting policies in our 2017 Annual Report. There have been no significant changes in our significant accounting policies since December 31, 2017.

 

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

 

Description

 

Adoption Date

 

Effect on Financial Statements

Since 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) has issued several amendments to its guidance on revenue recognition. The amended guidance, among other things, introduces a new framework for a single comprehensive model that can be used when accounting for revenue and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance, including that which pertains to specific industries. The core principle states that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for such goods and services. It also requires expanded quantitative and qualitative disclosures that will enable financial statement users to understand the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. Most revenue associated with financial instruments, including interest and loan origination fees, along with gains and losses on investment securities, derivatives and sales of financial instruments are excluded from the scope of the guidance.

 

First quarter of 2018.

 

The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. This standard may impact the timing of gains on certain future sales of real estate.

 

 

 

 

 

In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-09, Compensation - Stock Compensation: Scope of Modification Accounting. This ASU clarifies when changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award must be accounted for as modifications. Many entities today apply the modification accounting guidance when any of the terms or conditions of an award are changed, even if the changes are not substantive. Under the new guidance, modification accounting will not apply to a share-based payment award if all of the following are the same immediately before and after the change; (1) the award’s fair value; (2) the award’s vesting conditions; and (3) the award’s classification as an equity or liability instrument.

 

First quarter of 2018.

 

This ASU required prospective adoption, therefore, any future award changes will be evaluated under the amended guidance.

 

 

 

 

 

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-01, Business Combinations: Clarifying the Definition of a Business. This ASU changes the definition of a business to assist with evaluating when a set of transferred assets and activities constitutes a business. The guidance requires an entity to evaluate if substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or a group of similar identifiable assets; if so, the set of transferred assets and activities is not a business. The guidance also requires a business to include at least one substantive process and narrows the definition of outputs.

 

First quarter of 2018.

 

This ASU required prospective adoption, therefore, any future acquisitions will be evaluated under the amended guidance.

Adoption Date

 

Effect on Financial Statements

In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows: Restricted Cash. This ASU requires changes in the total of cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash, and restricted cash equivalents to be shown in the statement of cash flows. Previous guidance required the change in cash and cash equivalents be shown on the statement of cash flows, with cash used to fund restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents shown as a component of operating, investing, or financing activities. Entities are now also required to reconcile the total of cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash, and restricted cash equivalents as presented in the statement of cash flows to the related captions in the balance sheet when these balances are presented separately in the balance sheet.

 

First quarter of 2018.

 

This guidance required retrospective adoption, therefore, we adjusted the cash flow statement for the comparable prior period. The following table shows the impact of the adoption of this gyuidance, as well as the adoption of ASU 2016-15 described below.

 

 

 

 

 

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows. This ASU provides eight targeted changes to how cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows.

 

First quarter of 2018.

 

This guidance required retrospective adoption, therefore, we reclassified $0.6 million of proceeds from insurance settlements from net cash provided by operating activities to net cash (used in) provided by investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2017. In addition, we chose the cummulative earnings approach for distributions received from equity method investees, which did not result in any changes in the way we account for such distributions. The following table shows the impact of the adoption of this guidance, as well as the adoption of ASU 2016-18 described above.

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, Financial Instruments - Overall: Consensuses of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force. This ASU requires that unconsolidated equity investments not accounted for under the equity method be recorded at fair value, with changes in fair value recorded through net income. The accounting principles that permitted available-for-sale classification with unrealized holding gains and losses recorded in other comprehensive income for equity securities will no longer be applicable. In addition, financial liabilities measured using the fair value option will need to present any change in fair value caused by a change in instrument-specific credit risk separately in other comprehensive income.

 

First quarter of 2018.

 

The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. In connection with the adoption of this ASU, we reclassified $0.2 million of unrealized gains on available-for-sale securities from accumulated other comprehensive income to accumulated deficit.

(1)               “Weighted Average Pay Rate” is a weighted average, based on the unpaid principal balance (“UPB”) of each loan in our portfolio, of the interest rate that is required to be paid monthly as stated in the individual loan agreements.  Certain loans and investments that require an additional rate of interest “Accrual Rate” to be paid at maturity are not included in the weighted average pay rate as shown in the table.

(2)               The “First Dollar Loan-to-Value (“LTV”) Ratio” is calculated by comparing the total of our senior most dollar and all senior lien positions within the capital stack to the fair value of the underlying collateral to determine the point at which we will absorb a total loss of our position.

(3)               The “Last Dollar LTV Ratio” is calculated by comparing the total of the carrying value of our loan and all senior lien positions within the capital stack to the fair value of the underlying collateral to determine the point at which we will initially absorb a loss.

 

Concentration of Credit Risk

 

We are subject to concentration risk in that, at March 31, 2018, the UPB related to 41 loans with five different borrowers represented 23% of total assets.  At December 31, 2017, the UPB related to 42 loans with five different borrowers represented 24% of total assets. During both the three months ended March 31, 2018 and the year ended December 31, 2017, no single loan or investment represented more than 10% of our total assets and no single investor group generated over 10% of our revenue.

 

We assign a credit risk rating of pass, pass/watch, special mention, substandard or doubtful to each loan and investment, with a pass rating being the lowest risk and a doubtful rating being the highest risk. Each credit risk rating has benchmark guidelines that pertain to debt-service coverage ratios, LTV ratios, borrower strength, asset

quality, and funded cash reserves.  Other factors such as guarantees, market strength, and remaining loan term and borrower equity are also reviewed and factored into determining the credit risk rating assigned to each loan.  This metric provides a helpful snapshot of portfolio quality and credit risk.  All portfolio assets are subject to, at a minimum, a thorough quarterly financial evaluation in which historical operating performance and forward-looking projections are reviewed, however, we maintain a higher level of scrutiny and focus on loans that we consider “high risk” and that possess deteriorating credit quality.

 

Generally speaking, given our typical loan profile, risk ratings of pass, pass/watch and special mention suggest that we expect the loan to make both principal and interest payments according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement, and is not considered impaired.  A risk rating of substandard indicates we anticipate the loan may require a modification of some kind.  A risk rating of doubtful indicates we expect the loan to underperform over its term, and there could be loss of interest and/or principal.  Further, while the above are the primary guidelines used in determining a certain risk rating, subjective items such as borrower strength, market strength or asset quality may result in a rating that is higher or lower than might be indicated by any risk rating matrix.

 

As a result of the loan review process, at March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, we identified eight loans and investments that we consider higher-risk loans that had a carrying value, before loan loss reserves, of $126.9 million and $126.5 million, respectively, and a weighted average last dollar LTV ratio of 93% for both periods.

The recoveries of reserves recorded in the first quarter of 2017 related to multifamily loans and the ratio of net recoveries to the average loans and investments outstanding was de minimus.

 

There were no loans for which the fair value of the collateral securing the loan was less than the carrying value of the loan for which we had not recorded a provision for loan loss as of March 31, 2018 and 2017.

 

We have six loans with a carrying value totaling $120.4 million at March 31, 2018, which mature in September 2018, that are collateralized by a land development project. The loans do not carry a current pay rate of interest, but five of the loans with a carrying value totaling $111.0 million entitle us to a weighted average accrual rate of interest of 8.80%. In 2008, we suspended the recording of the accrual rate of interest on these loans, as they were impaired and we deemed the collection of this interest to be doubtful.  At both March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, we had cumulative allowances for loan losses of $49.4 million related to these loans.  The loans are subject to certain risks associated with a development project including, but not limited to, availability of construction financing, increases in projected construction costs, demand for the development’s outputs upon completion of the project, and litigation risk.  Additionally, these loans were not classified as non-performing as the borrower is in compliance with all of the terms and conditions of the loans.

At March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, we did not have any loans contractually past due 90 days or more that were still accruing interest.

 

There were no loan modifications, refinancings and/or extensions during the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017 that we considered troubled debt restructurings.

 

Given the transitional nature of some of our real estate loans, we may require funds to be placed into an interest reserve, based on contractual requirements, to cover debt service costs.  As of March 31, 2018, we had total interest reserves of $46.3 million on 84 loans with an aggregate UPB of $1.66 billion. As of December 31, 2017, we had total interest reserves of $52.5 million on 81 loans with an aggregate UPB of $1.57 billion.

Our loans held-for-sale, net are typically sold within 60 days of loan origination and the gain on sales are included in gain on sales, including fee-based services, net in the consolidated statements of income. During the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, we sold $1.06 billion and $1.36 billion, respectively, of loans held-for-sale and recorded gain on sales of $17.4 million and $18.1 million, respectively. At March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, there were no loans held-for-sale that were 90 days or more past due, and there were no loans held-for-sale that were placed on a non-accrual status.

 

Note 5 — Capitalized Mortgage Servicing Rights

 

Our capitalized mortgage servicing rights (“MSRs”) reflect commercial real estate MSRs derived from loans sold in our Agency Business. The discount rates used to determine the present value of our MSRs throughout the periods presented for all MSRs were between 8% - 15% (representing a weighted average discount rate of 12%) based on our best estimate of market discount rates. The weighted average estimated life remaining of our MSRs was 7.2 years at both March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017.

At March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, our weighted average servicing fee was 47.5 basis points and 47.7 basis points, respectively. We held cash in escrow for these loans totaling $443.2 million and $477.9 million at March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively, which is not reflected in our consolidated balance sheets.  These escrows are maintained in separate accounts at several federally insured depository institutions, which may exceed FDIC insured limits. We earn interest income on these escrow deposits, generally based on a market rate of interest negotiated with the financial institutions that hold the escrow deposits. Interest earned on escrows, net of interest paid to the borrower, was $2.2 million and $0.7 million during the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, and is a component of servicing revenue, net in the consolidated statements of income.

 

Note 7 — Securities Held-to-Maturity

 

Freddie Mac may choose to hold, sell or securitize loans we sell to them under the Freddie Mac SBL program. As part of the securitizations under the SBL program, we are required to purchase the bottom tranche bond, generally referred to as the “B Piece,” that represents the bottom 10%, or highest risk, of the securitization.  During the three months ended March 31, 2018, we purchased a B Piece bond with an initial face value of $12.3 million, at a discount, for $8.4 million. As of March 31, 2018, we retained 49%, or $53.3 million initial face value, of four B Piece bonds, at a discount, for $35.6 million and sold the remaining 51% to a third party at par.  These held-to-maturity securities are carried at cost, net of unamortized discounts, and are collateralized by a pool of multifamily
