BrightSpire Capital, Inc. (BRSP), an internally-managed commercial real estate (CRE) credit REIT, reported a GAAP net loss of $31.1 million, or $(0.26) per basic and diluted share, for the year ended December 31, 2025. This compares to a net loss of $132.0 million for the previous year. The company's Distributable Earnings (Loss) was $(17.5) million, or $(0.13) per share, while Adjusted Distributable Earnings reached $83.6 million, or $0.64 per share. These non-GAAP measures exclude certain items like realized gains/losses on asset sales, fair value adjustments, and specific CECL reserves.
A significant factor impacting the company's financial performance was the decrease in interest income, which fell by $49.9 million to $194.9 million. This decline was attributed to loan repayments, loans consolidated as real estate, and a decrease in interest rates, partially offset by income from new loan originations. Conversely, interest expense decreased by $26.6 million to $127.3 million, primarily due to paydowns on financings and the net impact of securitization activities. Property operating income increased by $25.2 million to $127.6 million, driven by property acquisitions, offset by deconsolidations and property sales.
Operationally, BrightSpire originated 29 senior mortgage loans totaling $873.9 million and received $405.1 million in loan repayment proceeds. The company also made progress in resolving its watchlist assets, selling four properties acquired through foreclosure, generating $85.6 million in gross proceeds. CECL reserves decreased by $78.1 million, with the general reserve at $88.1 million, representing 3.15% of the loan portfolio's aggregate commitment amount. The company also acquired four properties through foreclosure or deeds-in-lieu of foreclosure and deconsolidated two office properties, resulting in a GAAP impairment of $53.2 million.
Looking ahead, BrightSpire Capital closed a $955.0 million CLO transaction in February 2026 and expects to redeem BRSP 2021-FL1. The company also amended its Bank Credit Facility and Bank 3 Master Repurchase Facility. Under its Stock Repurchase Program, BrightSpire has repurchased 2.0 million shares of its Class A common stock for $11.0 million. The company declared total quarterly dividends of $0.64 per share for the year ended December 31, 2025. Management acknowledges that the company's future performance is subject to various risks, including those related to real estate market conditions, interest rate fluctuations, and regulatory changes.
