September 20, 2025
Apollo Commercial Real Estate Finance, Inc. (ARI) provided an investor presentation detailing its loan portfolio and strategic focus on asset resolution as of December 31, 2024. The company's portfolio had a carrying value of $7.1 billion across 45 loans, with 95% in first mortgages and a weighted-average risk rating of 3.0. The portfolio exhibited diversification across property types, including 25% in Office, 22% in Hotel, and 22% in Residential properties. Geographically, 34% of the portfolio was in the United Kingdom and 22% in New York City, with 26% of the total portfolio originated post-2022. ARI is actively managing non-performing and Real Estate Owned (REO) assets to maximize value recovery. For the Ultra-Luxury Condo Building in New York, with an amortized cost of $390 million, the third-party senior mortgage is expected to be repaid by mid-2025, which will allow future sales proceeds to reduce ARI's loan balance. The Retail Center in Ohio, with an amortized cost of $97 million and approximately 92% leased, is targeted for resolution prior to the end of 2025. The D.C. and Atlanta Hotels, with a combined book value of $153 million, are cash flow positive, and the D.C. Hotel is generating a levered return consistent with ARI's target. The Brooklyn Multifamily Development, with a book value of $289 million, continues to progress, with initial Temporary Certificates of Occupancy (TCOs) expected in mid-2025. An exit for this asset is anticipated in 2026, at which point ARI expects to redeploy the capital into new originations. Management estimates an annual operating earnings uplift of approximately $0.40 to $0.60 per share from the reinvestment of equity tied to these non-performing loans and REO.
