We incurred a net loss attributable to common shareholders for 2024 andbut wereturned to profitability in 2025. We cannot assure you that we will be profitable for 2025.2026.

Reworded

For the year ended December 31, 2024,2025, we reported net income attributable to common shareholders of $1.8 million compared to a net loss attributable to common shareholders of $43.9 million compared to net income of $12.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2023.2024. This2024 iswas the first annual net loss that we reported since we became a publicly traded company in 2017. There were a number of factors that contributed to this result. For the year ended December 31, 2024, we recorded a $22.0 million realized loss on sale of loans, a $4.9 million valuation allowance for loans held for sale, a $26.9 million provision for credit loss related to loans held for investment and loans transferred to real estate owned, and an impairment charge of $0.5 million relating to real estate owned, all of which are presented on our consolidated statement of operations. Second, top-line revenue for 2024 declined 11.2% compared to 2023, after we had delivered solid growth every year from 2017 through 2023. This decrease was due to the unavailability of capital required to grow our business.business after revenues decreased due to increases in nonperforming loans and distress in the lending markets. Historically, we relied on the capital markets to provide us with the bulk of our growth capital. Given the interest rate environment in 2023 and 2024 and the state of the real estate market in general, we were unable to access the capital markets and our existing credit facilities were not robust enough to fill the gap. TheOn effectstop of this lack of growth was compounded by the fact thatthat, two tranches of outstanding Notes,unsecured public notes, having an aggregate principal amount of $58.2 million came due in 2024 and were repaid from cash flow from operations or drawdowns on our credit facilities. We were able to improve our results of operations in 2025 by obtaining new debt financing and amending existing credit facilities. In addition, we were able to significantly reduce the losses and other charges that we reported in 2024 related to loan sales, valuation allowances and credit losses. For 2025, gains on loan sales were $0.1 million, valuations allowances were $1.0 million and credit losses were $3.3 million. Nonetheless, we cannot assure you that any of these structural issues adversely impacting our operational performancewe will ease or resolve in 2025. If they do not, and we are not able to find suitable solutions to address these issues, we may continue to incurbe lossesprofitable in 2025.2026.

As a real estate investment trust (REIT), toTo maintain our REIT status for income tax purposes, we are required to distribute at least 90% of our taxable income to our shareholders. As a practical matter, since we started to operate as a REIT in 2017 through the end of 2023, we distributed 100% of our GAAP income to shareholders, in cash. However, in 2024,2024 and 2025, primarily because we did not have access to growth capital, we reduced the dividend payable to shareholders. The reduction in the dividend payment does not jeopardize our REIT election because our taxable income has decreased as well. Despite the decrease in taxable income, the Company continued to pay dividends, which were in excess of our taxable income for 2024 and 2025. Any distributions we make to our shareholders, the amount of such dividend and whether such dividend is payable in cash, our Common Shares or other property, or a combination thereof, is at the discretion of the Board and will depend on, among other things, our actual results of operations and liquidity. Our ability to pay distributions will be affected by various factors, including the net interest and other revenue generated from operations, our operating expenses, working capital requirements, the restrictions and limitations imposed by the New York Business Corporation Law (“BCL”), and any restrictions and/or limitations imposed on us by our creditors. Accordingly, we cannot assure you as to the timing or amount of any dividend payments in the future or how they may be paid.

Reworded

Primarily because of our operating performance and the reduced dividend cuts,payments, in 2024 and 2025, we experienced a steep decline in the trading price of all our equity and debt securities. For example, the opening price of our Common Shares on January 2, 2024, as reported on the NewNYSE York Stock Exchange,American, was $3.73 per share. The closing price on December 31, 2024, as reported by the NewNYSE York Stock Exchange,American, was $1.35 per share. The closing price on December 31, 2025, as reported by the NYSE American, was $1.04 per share. Similarly, the opening price of our 7.75% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock (“Series A Preferred Stock”) on January 2, 2024, as reported on the NewNYSE York Stock Exchange,American, was $20.00 per share. The closing price on December 31, 2024, as reported by the NewNYSE York Stock Exchange,American, was $15.49 per share. The closing price on December 31, 2025, as reported by the NYSE American, was $17.75 per share. Similar declines were recorded for the price of our Notes. The declining prices in our securities does not only adversely impact the holders of those securities, it also adversely impacts our ability to raise capital at accretive or market prices. Lower trading prices means we have to sell more securities to raise the funds we need for growth, which dilutes the interests of the existing security holders and raises the cost of issuance through interest expense or dividends. Thus, issuing more securities increases our costs, which, in turn, means we have to raise more money to cover the costs, which means we have to sell more securities. Therefore, during the second half of 2024,2024 and in 2025, we did not sell Common Shares,Shares or debt securities to raise capital. However, we did sell an immaterial amount of shares of our Series A Preferred Stock,Stock orin debtDecember securities to raise capital.2025. We believe it is imperative for us to increase the value of our securities, both debt and equity, and for us to do so, we must improve our operating performance and increase our dividend. We are currently in the market for accretive working capital and working through opportunities to do so.capital. However, we cannot assure you that capital will be available to us or, if it is, what will be the cost of such capital.

If we cannot repay any of these Notes and the holders of thesesuch Notes call a default, it may trigger defaults under our other obligations and impair our ability to raise capital from other sources. As previously noted, a default under the Notes would also trigger a default under the Master Purchase Agreement with Churchill and under the termterms of the NHB Mortgage. This could have a material adverse impact on our operations, financial condition and business. We believe we will have the ability to repay those notes on the due date from a combination of cash flow from operations and borrowings under our various credit facilities.

To date, we have financed our operations through the sale of our Common Shares, Series A Preferred Stock and the Notes. These securities were covered by an S-3 Registration Statement that the SEC declared effective on February 25, 2022. At that time, we were not subject to any limitations on the volume of securities that we could sell under that Registration Statement. That Registration Statement expired on February 25, 2025. We filed a new S-3 Registration Statement that was declared effective on May 30, 2025. Given the fact that our public float is currently less than $75 million and for so long as the “public float” remains under $75 million, we are limited as to the amount of securities we can sell during any 12-month period. The limit is an amount equal to one-third of our “public float”.

In December 2024, we consummated the sale of 32 mortgage loans in our portfolio, having an aggregate unpaid principal balance of $55.8 million to various buyers. The aggregate net proceeds from the sale of these mortgages was $36.1 million, or 64.7% of the unpaid principal balances. Most of the loans that were sold were designated as pending/pre-foreclosure. The purpose of the sale was (i) to raise working capital, (ii) to eliminate the need to provide for future credit losses with respect to these loans, and (iii) to utilize the proceeds towards the repayment of the Notes that matured on December 30, 2024. Despite the loss on the sale, both for GAAP purposes and tax purposes, we consider the transaction to be a success.

Historically, our mortgage loans were relatively small, and a small number of foreclosures did not have a material adverse impact on our business. However, our business strategy has changed, and we are now making larger loans with increasing frequency, changing the risk profile of our mortgage loan portfolio. When combined with the decline in commercial real estate values and restrictive credit conditions, the rate of foreclosures that we are experiencing is increasing. At December 31, 2025, we had 66 loans, 57.4% of the loans in our portfolio, with an outstanding principal balance exceeding $1 million. At December 31, 2024, we had 88 loans, 52.4% of the loans in our portfolio, with an outstanding principal balance exceeding $1 million. At December 31, 2023, we had 113 loans, 36.3% of the loans in our portfolio, with an outstanding principal balance exceeding $1 million. If this trend continues, it could have a material adverse impact on our business, operations and financial condition.

High interest rates adversely impacts our business in several ways. First, it makes it more difficult for us to borrow money to sustain our growth. Second, even if we borrow money at higher rates there is no assurance that we can pass these increases on to our borrowers, without adversely impacting the demand for our products. If our borrowers and their related projects cannot manage the increase in interest rates, we may have an increase in non-performing loans. Further, if we cannot raise the rates on our mortgages, the spread between our cost of funds and the yield on our mortgage loan portfolio will decrease. Thus, increases in interest rates could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations and our ability to make distributions to our shareholders.

ManyMost of the properties securing our mortgage loans are not income producing, thus increasing the risks of delinquency and foreclosure.

Reworded

Most of our loans, by both number of loans and aggregate principal amount, are secured by properties, whether residential or commercial, that are under construction or renovation and are not income producing. The risks of delinquency and foreclosure on these properties may be greater than similar risks associated with loans made on the security of single- family, owner-occupied, residential property. In the case of income producing properties, the ability of a borrower to repay the loan typically depends primarily upon the successful operation of such property. If the net operating income of the subject property is reduced, the borrower’s ability to repay the loan, or our ability to receive adequate returns on our investment, may be impaired.

While we are not a traditional long term mortgage lender, we do lend on commercial use of transitional residential property. At December 31, 2024,2025, 56.2% of the loans in our loan portfolio (representing 49.4%53.6% of our outstanding mortgage loans receivable) are secured by residential real property. None of these loans are guaranteed by the U.S. government or any government sponsored entity. Therefore, the value of the underlying property, the creditworthiness and financial position of the borrower and the priority and enforceability of our lien will significantly impact the value of such mortgage. In the event of foreclosure, we may assume direct ownership of the underlying real estate. The liquidation proceeds upon sale of such real estate may be less than the outstanding balance of the loan (including principal, accrued but unpaid interest and other fees and charges). In addition, any costs or delays involved in the foreclosure or liquidation process may increase losses.

For example, other geographic markets in neighboring states could become more attractive for developers, investors and owners based on favorable costs and other conditions to construct or improve or renovate real estate properties. Some states have created tax and other incentives to attract businesses to relocate or to establish new facilities in their jurisdictions. These changes in other markets may increase demand in those markets and result in a corresponding decrease in demand in the markets in which we currently operate.

For us to maintain our qualification as a REIT under the Code, not more than 50% in value of the issued and outstanding shares of our capital stock may be owned, actually or constructively, by five or fewer individuals (as defined in the Code to include certain entities) at any time during the last half of each taxable year (other than our first year as a REIT). This test is known as the “5/50 test.” Attribution rules in the Code apply to determine if any individual or entity actually or constructively owns our capital stock for purposes of this requirement. Additionally, at least 100 persons must beneficially own our capital stock during at least 335 days of each taxable year (other than our first year as a REIT). To help ensure that we meet these tests, our charter restricts the acquisition and ownership of shares of our capital stock. Our charter, with certain exceptions, authorizes our directors to take such actions as are necessary and desirable to preserve our qualification as a REIT and provides that, unless exempted by the Board, no person may own more than 4.99% in value of the aggregate of the outstanding shares of our capital stock or more than 4.99% in value or in number of shares, whichever is more restrictive, of the aggregate of our outstanding shares of our Common Shares. Our founder John L. Villano, is exempt from this provision. The ownership limits contained in our charter could delay or prevent a transaction or a change in control of our company under circumstances that otherwise could provide our shareholders with the opportunity to realize a premium over the then current market price for our Common Shares or would otherwise be in the best interests of our shareholders.

In order to raise working capital, we may sell or transfer mortgage loans to a third party, including a securitization entity. In December 2024, we consummated the sale of 32 mortgage loans, having an aggregate outstanding principal balance of $55.8 million to a number of buyers, all of whom specialize in distressed debt. Most of the loans sold were designated as pending/pre-foreclosure by us. In connection with these sales, we weremay be required to make certain representations and warranties to the buyers that are typical in these types of transactions. If there is a material breach in any of thesesthese representations and warranties, we may be liable for any damages incurred by the buyer as a result of such breach or we may be obligated to repurchase one or more of the sold loans that is directly impacted by the breach or replace the impacted loan with another loan. Any remedy, whether we have to pay damages or repurchase or replace a loan, could have a material adverse impact on our business, operations and financial condition.

In addition to the usual operating expenses, we have significant other cash requirements, notably interest and dividend payments (to maintain our REIT status, we are required to distribute at least 90% of our taxable income on a annual basis) and loan repayments ($56.4 million principal amount of Notes will become due in September of 2025 and another $51.8 million principal amount of Notes will become due in December 2026 and an aggregate of 2026.an additional $121.5 million principal amount of Notes will become at various due dates in 2027.) Consequently, we rely on third-party sources of capital to fund a substantial amount of our working capital needs. Our access to third-party sources of capital depends, in part, on general market conditions, the market’s perception of our growth potential, leverage, current and expected results of operations, liquidity, financial condition and cash distributions to shareholders and the market price of our equity securities. If we cannot obtain capital when needed, we may not be able to execute our business and growth strategies, satisfy our debt service obligations, make the cash distributions to our shareholders necessary to qualify and maintain our qualification as a REIT (which would expose us to significant penalties and corporate level taxation), or fund our other business needs, any of which could have a material adverse effect on us.

Sachem Capital Corp., a New York corporation, established in 2010 and completing an initial public offering in 20172017, is a self-managed REIT that specializes in originating, underwriting, funding, servicing and managing a portfolio of first mortgage loans. The Company operates its business as one segment. The Company offers short-term (i.e., one to three years), secured, non-bank loans (sometimes referred to as “hard money” loans) to real estate owners and investors to fund their acquisition, renovation, development, rehabilitation or improvement of properties located primarily in the northeastern and southeastern sections of the United States. The properties securing the Company’s loans are generally classified as residential or commercial real estate and, typically, are held for resale or investment. Each loan is typically secured by a first mortgage lien on real estate and may also be secured with additional collateral, such as other real estate owned by the borrower or its principals, a pledge of the ownership interests in the borrower by the principals thereof, and/or personal guarantees by the principals of the borrower. The Company does not lend to owner occupants of residential real estate. The Company’s primary underwriting criteria is a conservative loan to value ratio. In addition, the Company may make opportunistic real estate purchases and investments apart from its lending activities.

Items Affecting Comparability of Results

Added

Due to a number of factors, our historical financial results may not be comparable from period to period or to future periods. Key factors that may affect comparability include:

Added

•Changes in average earning assets and portfolio composition, including periods of lower net loan originations, portfolio runoff, and the resolution of loans through repayment, foreclosure, or sale, which may reduce average loans outstanding and interest-earning assets and, as a result, impact interest income and net interest margin.

Added

•Changes in asset yields, including the mix of performing versus nonperforming loans, the timing of loans placed on non-accrual status, the resolution of nonperforming loans, and changes in the composition of loans held for investment versus loans held for sale, all of which may affect the yield on interest-earning assets and the comparability of net interest margin between periods.

Added

•Changes in our funding mix, leverage levels, and cost of funds, including repayments, refinancings, and the issuance of new indebtedness (including senior secured notes, revolving credit facilities, and "baby bond" obligations), which may alter average borrowings outstanding and result in material period-to-period changes in interest expense. In certain periods, indebtedness has been replaced at interest rates materially higher than retired obligations, including increases of approximately 200 to 300 basis points, which may negatively impact net interest margin.

Added

•Timing differences related to debt deployment and capital availability, including periods where debt capital was outstanding prior to full deployment into interest-earning assets, which may temporarily compress net interest margin and reduce comparability between periods.

Added

•Volatility in credit-related expenses and valuation adjustments, including changes in the provision for credit losses, direct allowances, and valuation allowances on loans held for sale, which, while not components of net interest margin, may materially affect net income and period-to-period comparability of overall operating results.

Added

•Non-recurring or episodic income and expense items, including income generated from owned real estate, such as rental income from specific projects, and the timing of asset sales or similar transactions, which may not be indicative of ongoing net interest margin or core lending performance.

Added

During 2025, the Company focused on stabilizing its credit profile and strengthening its capital structure following the portfolio repositioning actions taken in 2024 and 2025. While average earning assets declined year over year and net interest margin compressed, management prioritized liquidity preservation, resolution of nonperforming assets, and extension of debt maturities over portfolio expansion.

Added

Key developments during 2025 included:

Added

•A significant reduction in credit-related charges compared to 2024, as provisioning reflected loan-specific adjustments rather than broad-based reserve recalibration.

Added

•No comparable large-scale loan sale losses, resulting in improved earnings comparability relative to the prior year.

Added

•Issuance of $100.0 million ($90.0 million drawn as of December 31, 2025) of Senior Secured Notes due 2030 bearing interest at 9.875%, which extended the Company’s weighted average debt maturity profile and diversified funding sources.

Added

•Reduction of certain short-term borrowings and repayment of maturing unsecured notes, decreasing near-term refinancing concentration.

Added

•Successfully completed the sale of its office property located in Westport, Connecticut generating net cash proceeds of approximately $19.9 million and realized a book gain of approximately $4.0 million. The Westport asset was sourced, managed, and executed through Urbane Capital, the Company’s in-house development and asset management platform.

Added

•Continued disciplined underwriting in a higher interest rate environment, resulting in moderated net loan originations and a focus on sponsor quality and collateral protection.

Added

Although nonaccrual balances remain elevated relative to historical norms, migration trends moderated during the year and reserve coverage reflects updated collateral valuations and expected liquidation timelines. Management continues to evaluate asset resolution strategies with the objective of improving earning asset mix and reducing nonaccrual exposure over time.

Added

While funding costs remain elevated relative to pre-2024 levels, the Company believes its current capital structure provides improved duration visibility and liquidity flexibility. Future earnings performance will depend on continued resolution of nonperforming assets, stabilization of net interest margin, disciplined capital allocation, and broader real estate market conditions.

Added

The Company intends to address upcoming unsecured note maturities through a combination of operating cash flow, asset resolutions, and capital market activity, subject to prevailing market conditions.

Added

Recent Developments

Added

Update on Naples, Florida Assets

Added

On February 5, 2026, the Company completed a noncash transaction to acquire 100% of the membership interests of the entity holding the condominium assets associated with its legacy Naples, Florida mortgage loan held for investment having a net book value, principal and accrued interest and fees, of approximately $39.9 million.

Added

The acquired assets include:

Added

•The condominium association,

Added

•Three completed condominium units, which are expected to be remarketed for sale immediately under renewed marketing efforts, and

Added

•The southern parcel, which is entitled for the development of four additional condominium units. The Company intends to commence construction and marketing activities for these units, with anticipated sales occurring over the next 18 to 24 months, subject to market conditions.

Added

At closing, the transaction did not result in a material gain or loss relative to the Company’s net book value of the related assets.

Added

Following the transaction, Urbane Capital, a subsidiary of the Company, has assumed responsibility for the active management, development, and monetization of the condominium assets described above, consistent with its role in overseeing the Company’s owned real estate and development initiatives.

Added

In addition, the Company has retained and further enhanced its interest in the existing approximate $12.3 million first mortgage secured by a separate and unrelated waterfront development parcel in Naples. The Company does not control or manage development activities related to the waterfront parcel and is not assuming development responsibility for that asset. The Company will continue to monitor this loan held for investment with respect to this parcel in its capacity as a senior secured lender, consistent with its objective of protecting principal and maximizing value.

Added

Management believes that consolidating control of the condominium assets while maintaining a secured lender position on the waterfront parcel simplifies the overall capital structure, enhances execution clarity, and positions the Company to actively manage and monetize the assets it directly controls over time.

Added

Needham Credit Facility Update

Added

On January 21, 2026, the Company entered into Amendment No. 2 to its Credit, Security and Guaranty Agreement with Needham Bank, as administrative agent, and the lenders party thereto, with respect to the Company’s $50.0 million revolving credit facility. The amendment extends the stated maturity of the facility from March 2, 2026 to March 2, 2028, and provides the Company with the ability to request an additional one-year extension to March 2, 2029, subject to lender consent and customary conditions. All other material terms of the credit facility remain unchanged.

Added

The extension enhances the Company’s liquidity profile and provides additional balance sheet flexibility as it continues to manage its portfolio and capital allocation strategy.

Removed

Total revenue decreased 11.2%; net (loss) income attributable to common shareholders decreased 462.5%; and earnings per common share decreased $1.20 per share.

Reworded

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Management will base the use of estimates on (a) various assumptions that consider prior reporting results, (b) projections regarding future operations and (c) general financial market and local and general economic conditions. Actual amounts could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates include the provisions for current expected credit losses and real estate owned, See Note 2 – Significant Accounting Policies for further details.

Added

Real Estate Owned (“REO”)

Added

REO acquired through foreclosure is initially measured at fair value and is thereafter subject to an ongoing impairment analysis. After an REO acquisition, events or circumstances may occur that result in a material and sustained decrease in the cash flows generated from the property or other market indicators, including listing data, may signal a decline in the liquidation value. REO is evaluated for recoverability when impairment indicators are identified. Any impairment losses or recoveries are included in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Added

Our results of operations depend primarily on net interest income, the credit performance of our loan portfolio, and the effectiveness of our operating platform. These results are affected by a variety of factors, including demand for commercial real estate loans, competitive conditions in loan origination, the cost, structure, and availability of financing, operating expense levels, and the performance of the collateral securing our loans.

Added

Net income (loss) and Net income (loss) attributable to common shareholders are the primary metrics by which we assess our business performance. Accordingly, we closely monitor the primary drivers which consist of the following:

Removed

Total revenue

Removed

Total revenue for the year ended December 31, 2024, was $57.5 million compared to $64.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2023, a decrease of $7.2 million, or 11.2%. The decrease in revenue was primarily due to a reduction in the number of loan originations and a decline in net loans held for investment over the year. For 2024, interest income was $43.2 million compared to $49.3 million for 2023, representing a decrease of $6.1 million or 12.4%. Fee income from loans decreased to $8.6 million for 2024 compared to $10.7 million for 2023, a decrease of $2.1 million, or 19.7% due to lower origination volume as compared to 2023. Income from limited liability company investments increased to $5.2 million for 2024 compared to $3.5 million for 2023, an increase of $1.7 million, or 48.8%. Other investment income was $0.4 million for 2024 compared to $1.2 million for 2023, a decrease of $0.8 million, or 67.7%.

Removed

Operating costs and expenses

Removed

Total operating costs and expenses for the year ended December 31, 2024, were $75.3 million compared to $49.7 million for 2023, an increase of $25.6 million, or 51.5%. This net increase was attributable to (i) a $21.3 million increase in provision for credit losses related to loans and (ii) a $1.9 million increase in general and administrative expenses as a result of increased legal and professional fees during the second and third quarters of the year related to matters outside of our ordinary course of business; all of which was offset by a $1.4 million decrease in interest and amortization expense.

Reworded

OtherNet (loss)interest income

Added

Net interest income represents the largest component of our net income and is evaluated on both an absolute basis and relative to our provision for credit losses and operating expenses. Net interest income is generated when the yield earned on our loan portfolio exceeds the cost of financing those assets, which we primarily achieve through short- and long-term financing arrangements. Accordingly, we actively monitor financing market conditions and maintain ongoing dialogue with investors and financial institutions as we evaluate funding sources and cost of capital.

Added

In evaluating net interest income, management monitors: (1) portfolio loan yields, (2) funding costs, (3) net interest spread, and (4) net interest margin. Net interest spread reflects the difference between the yield earned on our loans and the interest rates paid on our funding sources. Net interest margin represents net interest income, calculated as annualized interest income less annualized interest expense, expressed as a percentage of average loans outstanding for the applicable period.

Added

Average loans outstanding are calculated using the arithmetic average of the unpaid principal balance of loans held for investment as of the end of each of the five most recent fiscal quarters.

Added

Changes in net interest income are primarily driven by origination activity, changes in average outstanding loan balances (total, performing and nonperforming), and fluctuations in interest rates affecting asset yields and funding costs. Historically, portfolio growth driven by loan originations has been the primary contributor to increases in net interest income. Net interest income is evaluated both before and after interest expense associated with corporate debt and before and after provisions for credit losses.

Added

Interest income from loans - decreased year over year, primarily reflecting continuing lower net loan originations over the past eighteen months since our historical peak balance in loans held for in investment of $508.9 million in June 2024, which reduced the average unpaid principal balance of loans held for investment.

Added

•Average loans held for investment were $376.4 million and $468.8 million for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The effective yield on total loans held for investment was 8.6% and 9.2%. respectively.

Added

Results were also impacted by a higher level of nonperforming loans and real estate owned, which do not contribute interest income.

Added

•Average total performing loans held for investment were $269.3 million and $366.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The effective yield on performing loans was 12.0% and 11.8%, respectively.

Added

The difference between total portfolio yield and performing loan yield reflects the impact of nonaccrual loans, which do not generate current interest income.

Added

•Average nonperforming loans held for investment were $107.1 million and $102.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Added

Interest income from limited liability company investments - Interest income generated from the Company’s investments in the Shem Creek funds and direct loan co-investment vehicles decreased year over year. The decrease was primarily attributable to lower average capital deployed within certain direct loan co-investment vehicles during 2025. As underlying mortgage loans repaid, capital was returned to the Company and not redeployed at prior levels within those structures. In certain vehicles, the Company’s ownership percentage also declined during the period, further reducing its effective exposure.

Added

The decrease in interest income was driven by lower average invested balances rather than changes in underlying loan yields or credit performance. The Shem Creek portfolios continue to consist primarily of short-duration, first mortgage loans, and there were no material changes in the contractual economics of those investments during the period.

Added

The Company evaluates these minority investments as part of its broader capital allocation framework. Given the short-term nature of the underlying assets and the return of capital upon loan repayment, investment balances may fluctuate period to period depending on repayment activity and redeployment decisions. Capital returned from these vehicles may be redeployed into other investment opportunities or retained to support liquidity and balance sheet objectives.

Added

See Note 19 — Limited Liability Company ("LLC") Investments — to our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025.

Added

Interest expense and amortization of deferred financing costs - decreased year over year, primarily attributable to lower average borrowings, $277.8 million and $301.2 million actual at December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, resulting from a decline in average earning assets. The reduction in average earning assets reduced funding requirements and corresponding interest expense.

Effective internal controls are necessary to provide reliable financial reporting and prevent fraud. If we are unable to assert that our internal control over financial reporting is effective, or if our independent registered public accounting firm is unable to express an unqualified opinion as to the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting, investors may lose confidence in the accuracy and completeness of our financial reports, the market price of our common shares could be adversely affected and we could become subject to litigation or regulatory investigations. We continue to evaluate and implement steps to remediate the material weakness. These remediation measures may be time-consuming and costly and there is no assurance that these initiatives will ultimately have the intended effects. The material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting will not be considered remediated until the management review control operates for a sufficient period of time and management concludes, through testing, that the control operates effectively. If we do not successfully remediate the material weakness, or if other material weaknesses or other deficiencies arise in the future, we may be unable to accurately report our financial results, specifically potential goodwill impairments, which could cause our financial results to be materially misstated. In such case, we may be unable to maintain compliance with securities law requirements regarding timely filing of periodic reports, which could adversely affect investor confidence in us, our business, results of operations and financial condition, the trading price of our common shares, and our ability to remain listed on the NYSE American.

Coconut Grove, Florida. Subsequent to June 30, 2026, one of the loans to the related-party joint venture was repaid in full following the sale of the underlying Coconut Grove, Florida residence. The residence sold for gross sale proceeds of approximately $7.5 million and generated net sale proceeds of approximately $7.0 million. The Company received approximately $7.0 million in cash to repay the associated loan in full. Of the two remaining residences, one is complete and actively marketed for sale, and the other is expected to be completed and placed on the market during the fourth quarter of 2026.

Added

Vela Cove—Naples, Florida. Through the date of this Report, we completed improvements to the common areas of the completed North Building, including the rooftop and pool, and rebranded the project, formerly known as The Nautilus, as Vela Cove. We engaged a new marketing and listing team for the three completed North Building residences and for pre-sales of the four planned South Building residences. We reengaged the South Building architect under a comprehensive agreement covering completion and coordination of the construction plans, and that work is underway.

Interest income from limited liability company investments - Interest income generated from our investments in the Shem Creek funds and direct loan co-investment vehiclesfunds decreased from the corresponding period in the prior year. The decrease was primarily attributable to lower average capital deployed within certain direct loan co-investment vehiclesfunds during 2026. As underlying mortgage loans repaid, capital was returned to us and not redeployed at prior levels within those structures. In certain vehicles, our ownership percentage also declined during the period, further reducing its effective exposure.

Reworded

We evaluate these minority investments as part of its broader capital allocation framework. Given the short-term nature of the underlying assets and the return of capital upon loan repayment, investment balances may fluctuate period to period depending on repayment activity and redeployment decisions. Capital returned from these vehiclesfunds may be redeployed into other investment opportunities or retained to support liquidity and balance sheet objectives.

During 2025, as a result of maturing unsecured notes payable, we began repositioning itsour capital structure through the issuance of $100.0 million ($100.0 million and $90.0 million drawn as of MarchJune 31,30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively) of Senior Secured Notes due 2030. The secured notes replaced a portion of lower rate unsecured notes and reduced reliance on repurchase agreements and lines of credit.

Net interest margin in the firstsecond quarter of 2026 was 3.9%1.9% compared to 4.0%2.3% in the firstsecond quarter of 2025. The decrease in net interest margin reflects both structural and cyclical factors. Structurally, refinancing activity during 2025 increased the weighted average cost of capital. Cyclically, lower average earning assets reduced interest-earning balances.

Reworded

While asset yields remained strong on performing loans, 13.5%11.4% in firstsecond quarter 2026 as compared to 11.5%11.4% in the firstsecond quarter 2025, overall margin stabilization depends on continued resolution of nonperforming loans, normalization of earning asset levels, and disciplined origination activity at spreads consistent with current funding costs.

Net interest (loss) income after provision for credit losses, loss on sale of loans, and changes in valuation allowance

Added

Provision for credit losses related to loans held for investment - increased from the corresponding period in the prior year primarily due to declines in collateral valuations for loans previously reserved and new nonperforming loans. The current quarter provision was concentrated in three specific loans, which accounted for approximately $2.7 million of loan-specific provision activity. This included approximately $0.7 million associated with charge-offs of related receivable balances in connection with the foreclosure process and transfer of the collateral securing one of the loans to real estate owned. The loan-specific activity was partially offset by an approximately $0.1 million net decrease in the collective reserve for the remaining portfolio and other loan-specific reserves.

Removed

Provision for credit losses related to loans held for investment - increased from the corresponding period in the prior year primarily due to declines in collateral valuations for loans previously reserved and a credit loss of $3.9 million related to a loan restructuring. This non-cash loss relates to the Naples, Florida loan restructuring where we took control of the three completed condominium units and entitled land for development of four additional condominium units which is treated as a deed in lieu of foreclosure for accounting purposes. The loan restructuring was negotiated by management to recover the full carrying value of the mortgage note receivable on an undiscounted cash flow basis. Due to the length of time between taking over the project and receipt of the final cash flows from sales of the units under construction, we are required to record the assets received on a discounted cash flow basis. As a result, we recorded a $3.9 million charge in first quarter 2026. We believe the sales of the condominium units provides an opportunity to recover the fair value adjustment over time; however, actual recovery will depend on sales prices, timing, completion costs and market conditions.

Book value per common share

Added

The following table presents the calculation of our book value per common share (in thousands, except share and per share data):

Added

The decrease in book value per common share is primarily due to cash dividends declared and paid for the three months ended June 30, 2026 on issued and outstanding common shares and shares of Series A Preferred Stock totaling $1.6 million, or $0.03 per common share, and net loss for the three months ended June 30, 2026 of $5.4 million, or $0.11 per common share.

Added

The three month period’s net loss affecting book value per common share was materially driven by (i) the provision for credit losses related to loans held for investment of $2.6 million, or approximately $0.05 per common share, which was concentrated in three specific loans as described above, and (ii) transaction expenses associated with the pending contribution transaction of $2.6 million, or approximately $0.05 per common share. The aggregate impact of these items was approximately $5.2 million, or $0.10 per common share.

Net (loss) income and net (loss) income attributable to common shareholders are the primary metrics by which we assess our business performance. Accordingly, we closely monitor the following primary drivers of these metrics:

Added

Net interest income

Added

Net interest income represents the largest component of net income and is evaluated on both an absolute basis and relative to our provision for credit losses and operating expenses. Net interest income is generated when the yield earned on our loan portfolio exceeds the cost of financing those assets, which we primarily achieve through short- and long-term financing arrangements. Accordingly, we actively monitor financing market conditions and maintain ongoing dialogue with investors and financial institutions as we evaluate funding sources and cost of capital.

Added

In evaluating net interest income, management monitors: (1) portfolio loan yields, (2) funding costs, (3) net interest spread, and (4) net interest margin. Net interest spread reflects the difference between the yield earned on our loans and the interest rates paid on our funding sources. Net interest margin represents net interest income, calculated as annualized interest income less annualized interest expense, expressed as a percentage of average loans outstanding for the applicable period.

Added

Average loans outstanding are calculated using the arithmetic average of the unpaid principal balance of loans held for investment as of the end of each of the three most recent fiscal quarters.

Added

Changes in net interest income are primarily driven by origination activity, changes in average outstanding loan balances (total, performing and nonperforming), and fluctuations in interest rates affecting asset yields and funding costs. Historically, portfolio growth driven by loan originations has been the primary contributor to increases in net interest income. Net interest income is evaluated both before and after interest expense associated with corporate debt and before and after provisions for credit losses.

Added

Interest income from loans - increased from the corresponding period in the prior year, as further analyzed below.

Added

•Average loans held for investment were $356.9 million and $376.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The effective yield on total loans held for investment was 9.0% and 8.2%, respectively.

Added

Results are impacted by nonperforming loans and real estate owned, which do not contribute interest income.

Added

•Average total performing loans held for investment were $256.2 million and $271.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The effective yield on performing loans was 12.5% and 11.3%, respectively.
