NexPoint Real Estate Finance, Inc. (NREF) reported net income attributable to common stockholders of $75.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, a significant increase from $17.7 million in the prior year. This substantial growth was primarily driven by a $19.0 million increase in net interest income, reaching $47.2 million, and a $65.2 million increase in other income, totaling $109.7 million. The rise in other income was largely due to unrealized gains related to preferred stock and stock warrant investments.
The company's operating expenses decreased slightly to $33.7 million in 2025 from $36.6 million in 2024. This was mainly due to a $1.1 million decrease in legal fees, partially offset by a $0.6 million increase in accounting fees and a $0.1 million increase in payroll expenses. Management fees increased by $2.9 million to $6.8 million, reflecting an increase in Equity as defined by the Management Agreement.
NREF strategically acquired or originated $298.7 million in investments during 2025, including a $137.0 million preferred stock investment in life science, a $37.2 million senior loan in life sciences, and $30.3 million in CMBS I/O strips. Concurrently, the company redeemed or sold $139.6 million in investments, including a $62.5 million senior loan in life science and $29.9 million in real estate (multifamily). As of December 31, 2025, the company's portfolio had a combined unpaid principal balance of $1.5 billion.
Looking ahead, NREF faces challenges related to its substantial debt obligations, including $326.0 million due within 12 months of the financial statement issuance date. Management intends to address these obligations through partial loan paydowns, utilization of extension options, and refinancing of the 5.75% Notes. The company's ability to meet these obligations depends on maintaining debt covenants and securing refinancing, which is subject to market conditions. The company's strategy is to originate, structure and invest in first-lien mortgage loans, mezzanine loans, preferred equity, convertible notes, multifamily properties and common equity investments, as well as multifamily and SFR CMBS securitizations, promissory notes, revolving credit facilities and stock warrants.
