Conferencia de resultados del 3T de 2026 de Seven Hills Realty Trust (SEVN): las originaciones alcanzan los $122,3 millones

Puntos clave

• Seven Hills Realty Trust registró en el tercer trimestre de 2026 unas ganancias distribuibles de 3,8 millones de dólares, o 0,17 dólares por acción. Excluyendo la pérdida realizada de 1,5 millones de dólares de su préstamo de oficinas en Dallas, las ganancias distribuibles fueron de 5,3 millones de dólares, o 0,24 dólares por acción.
• La empresa originó tres préstamos por un total de 122,3 millones de dólares, su volumen de originación trimestral más alto desde el cuarto trimestre de 2021. Prácticamente la totalidad de los fondos se desembolsó al cierre.
• Las amortizaciones alcanzaron un total de 139 millones de dólares. La exposición al sector de oficinas disminuyó del 19% a finales del segundo trimestre al 13% a finales del tercer trimestre, y cayó aún más hasta el 10% tras la resolución posterior al cierre del trimestre del préstamo de oficinas en Carlsbad.
• El rendimiento total promedio ponderado de la cartera fue de aproximadamente el 7,8%. Todos los prestatarios se mantuvieron al día en el servicio de la deuda, aunque la calificación de riesgo promedio ponderada aumentó de 2,9 a 3,2.
• La dirección proyectó para el cuarto trimestre unas ganancias distribuibles de entre 0,25 y 0,27 dólares por acción, antes de la pérdida realizada de aproximadamente 0,11 dólares por acción del préstamo de Carlsbad.
• La dirección prevé ahora una cobertura sostenible del dividendo trimestral de 0,28 dólares durante el primer semestre de 2027, lo que refleja cierres de préstamos que se produjeron más tarde de lo previsto.

Datos financieros clave

Rendimiento operativo y del negocio

Seven Hills originó un préstamo de 68 millones de dólares garantizado por un inmueble residencial multifamiliar de Clase A en Chattanooga, Tennessee; un préstamo de 30 millones de dólares sobre un inmueble comercial alquilado al 95% en Charlotte, Carolina del Norte; y un préstamo de 24,3 millones de dólares garantizado por un inmueble comercial de alta gama en Park City, Utah.

El préstamo de oficinas de Dallas se resolvió a aproximadamente el 97% de su saldo pendiente de 44,2 millones de dólares, lo que supuso un descuento de 1,5 millones de dólares. Dicha pérdida estuvo por debajo de la reserva CECL de 6,3 millones de dólares asignada previamente a la inversión. El reembolso también liberó aproximadamente 46 millones de dólares de capacidad de inversión.

Tras el cierre del trimestre, se vendió el inmueble de oficinas de Carlsbad, California, lo que generó aproximadamente 22,1 millones de dólares y permitió recuperar cerca del 90% del principal pendiente del préstamo, que ascendía a 24,7 millones de dólares. La pérdida resultante de aproximadamente 2,6 millones de dólares estuvo alineada con la reserva CECL asociada y liberó otros 11 millones de dólares aproximadamente en capacidad de inversión.

Desde que originó su primer préstamo en 2018, Seven Hills ha cerrado 72 préstamos por un total de 1.930 millones de dólares. La dirección indicó que las pérdidas realizadas acumuladas equivalen al 0,2% de esa cantidad. Casi el 80% de la cartera actual se ha originado desde 2024.

La empresa finalizó el tercer trimestre con dos préstamos de finales de septiembre por un total de 98 millones de dólares aún sin apalancar. Financiarlos a las tasas de anticipo habituales aportaría aproximadamente 78 millones de dólares de liquidez adicional. Seven Hills también extendió su línea de crédito con Citibank hasta septiembre de 2028 y no tiene vencimientos de líneas antes de 2028.

Perspectivas de la dirección

La dirección prevé para el cuarto trimestre unas ganancias distribuibles de entre 0,25 y 0,27 dólares por acción, excluyendo la pérdida realizada de aproximadamente 0,11 dólares por acción del préstamo de Carlsbad. La pérdida estaba totalmente provisionada al 30 de septiembre, por lo que la dirección no espera ningún impacto en el beneficio neto al reconocerla en el cuarto trimestre.

Tres préstamos por un total superior a 120 millones de dólares estaban en proceso de auditoría y se preveía su cierre en el cuarto trimestre. La dirección señaló que cada 100 millones de dólares de crecimiento neto de la cartera añadirían aproximadamente 0,04 dólares por acción a las ganancias distribuibles trimestrales con los diferenciales y tasas de anticipo actuales. Se requerirían aproximadamente 220 millones de dólares de crecimiento neto de la cartera para cerrar la brecha entre la tasa de ejecución de ganancias del tercer trimestre y el dividendo trimestral.

La dirección prevé una cobertura sostenible del dividendo durante el primer semestre de 2027. Asimismo, fijó como objetivo una cartera de unos 900 millones de dólares, potencialmente más, a finales de 2026 y espera mantener un tamaño de cartera de 1.000 a 1.100 millones de dólares en 2027.

Riesgos y factores a vigilar

La volatilidad de los tipos de interés, los mayores rendimientos de los bonos del Tesoro a más largo plazo, las preocupaciones sobre la inflación, los costes energéticos y la incertidumbre geopolítica han endurecido las condiciones de financiación del sector inmobiliario comercial. La dirección ha observado una menor actividad de venta de inmuebles, un reajuste de precios por parte de los prestamistas y la retirada de algunos prestamistas en ciertas operaciones.

La cartera sigue siendo 100% a tipo variable. La dirección señaló que los aumentos sostenidos de los tipos de referencia beneficiarían las ganancias, aunque unos tipos más elevados también podrían afectar a las opciones de refinanciación de los prestatarios y a la actividad de las transacciones.

El vencimiento restante de oficinas para 2026 es un préstamo de 23,5 millones de dólares garantizado por un inmueble en las afueras de Chicago alquilado al 95%. Seven Hills está negociando los posibles pasos a seguir con el patrocinador y espera ofrecer una actualización en el cuarto trimestre.

Los préstamos para las oficinas de Downers Grove y la propiedad industrial de Fontana pasaron de la calificación de riesgo 3 a 4, principalmente debido a los vencimientos a corto plazo. La dirección prevé posibles prórrogas a corto plazo, pero espera resoluciones positivas.

Puntos destacados de las preguntas y respuestas de los analistas

• Apalancamiento: La dirección espera que el ratio deuda/patrimonio neto aumente de 1,4x a más de 2x a medida que se despliegue el capital en el cuarto trimestre de 2026 y principios de 2027.
• Rentabilidad de nuevos préstamos: El préstamo de Chattanooga redujo el diferencial medio de originación del trimestre debido a su menor diferencial y su gran tamaño. La dirección citó márgenes netos de aproximadamente 145 a 165 puntos básicos en los préstamos que se están valorando actualmente y calificó entre 160 y 180 puntos básicos como un supuesto de diferencial neto razonable en estado de equilibrio.
• Crecimiento de la cartera: Tras tener en cuenta el reembolso de Carlsbad y los nuevos cierres previstos, la dirección espera que la cartera alcance aproximadamente los 850 millones de dólares antes de seguir creciendo hacia su objetivo de fin de año.
• Activo de oficinas de Yardley: La empresa se encuentra en negociaciones activas de alquiler que podrían elevar la ocupación por encima del 90%. La dirección tiene previsto buscar su monetización entre principios y mediados de 2027, lo que potencialmente liberaría más de 40 millones de dólares en capacidad crediticia.
• Asignación de capital: A pesar de que las acciones cotizan al 44% de su valor contable, la dirección afirmó que su prioridad actual es el crecimiento de la cartera y la recuperación de la cobertura del dividendo, en lugar de realizar recompras de acciones.

Thomas Lorenzini

Thank you, Matt, and good morning, everyone. On our call today, I will begin with an overview of our third quarter activity and portfolio performance. Jared will then discuss market conditions and our investment pipeline before Matt reviews our financial results and outlook.

The third quarter was highly productive for Seven Hills as we continue deploying capital into accretive investments while reducing our legacy office exposure. We generated distributable earnings of $0.24 per share, excluding a modest loss associated with the repayment of our Dallas office loan. As I'll discuss shortly, we believe this loan's resolution was a positive outcome for Seven Hills that will further support ongoing earnings growth within the portfolio.

Origination activity accelerated meaningfully during the quarter as we continue to capitalize on attractive lending opportunities across our target sectors. We originated 3 loans totaling $122.3 million, representing our highest quarterly loan origination volume since the fourth quarter of 2021. These investments included a $68 million loan secured by a Class A multifamily property in Chattanooga, Tennessee, a $30 million loan secured by a 95% leased retail property in Charlotte, North Carolina and a $24.3 million loan secured by a high-end retail property in Park City, Utah.

Importantly, virtually 100% of the loan proceeds from these 3 loans were funded at closing, eliminating any earnings drag on unfunded future commitments. We also received $139 million of repayment proceeds during the quarter, improving our portfolio composition and enhancing our ability to pursue new lending opportunities. Included in this activity was the repayment of our Dallas office loan, which was resolved at approximately 97% of its $44.2 million outstanding balance, reflecting a $1.5 million discount that was significantly below the $6.3 million CECL reserve allocated to the investment.

We believe this represents a highly favorable resolution. In addition, the repayment unlocked approximately $46 million of previously trapped capacity due to the underlevered nature of the loan. This allows us to efficiently redeploy this capital into new investments and grow our portfolio. As a result of our origination and repayment activity, office exposure declined from 19% at the end of the second quarter to 13% at the end of the third quarter. Going forward, we expect our office exposure to continue trending lower into the high single digits over the coming quarters as additional office loans are repaid and capital is redeployed.

Turning to portfolio performance. Our loan book continues to perform well, reflecting the benefits of our disciplined underwriting approach and active asset management. Our portfolio maintained a weighted average all-in yield of approximately 7.8% at quarter end and credit performance was steady as all borrowers remain current on debt service. Our weighted average risk rating increased from 2.9% last quarter to 3.2%, driven by two 1-rated loans being repaid as well as a single office loan in Carlsbad, California being downgraded to a risk rating of 5 as it approached maturity and a negotiated resolution was in progress.

Subsequent to quarter end, the Carlsbad property was sold, netting approximately $22.1 million, which represents a recovery of approximately 90% of the loan's $24.7 million outstanding principal balance. This outcome was consistent with the discounted payoff we agreed to and reflect a discount of approximately $2.6 million in line with the CECL reserve allocated to the investment. While this repayment occurred after quarter end and is not reflected in our third quarter results, it further reduced our office exposure to 10% and unlocked an additional investment capacity of approximately $11 million due to the underlevered nature of the loan.

Furthermore, I'd like to put the recent realized losses into perspective. Since writing our first loan in the spring of 2018, we have closed 72 loans for $1.93 billion. The combined realized losses incurred totaled 0.2%, a track record we are extremely proud of and certainly one of the best amongst our peer group. We believe the resolution of these office loans represents significant progress in not only reducing our legacy office exposure, but improving the overall composition of the portfolio, enhancing our ability to redeploy capital into new investments that will drive future earnings growth.

Our only remaining office maturity in 2026 is a $23.5 million loan backed by a 95% leased asset in suburban Chicago, where we remain actively engaged with the sponsor regarding a path forward and expect to provide an update in the fourth quarter. Additionally, nearly 80% of our portfolio has been originated since 2024 in a higher interest rate environment. This positions us well for the current operating environment and provides increased visibility into the portfolio's future performance.

Looking ahead, we remain focused on actively deploying capital into investments that meet our disciplined underwriting and return objectives. Our pipeline remains healthy, and we currently have 3 loans in diligence totaling over $120 million that we expect to close over the next couple of weeks. Based on our current outlook, we now expect to achieve sustainable dividend coverage in the first half of 2027. This timing primarily reflects certain loan closings occurring later than anticipated rather than any change in our origination assumptions.

We remain committed to our current quarterly dividend of $0.28 per share and believe our active pipeline, growing lending capacity and continued reduction in legacy office exposure positions Seven Hills to create long-term value for our shareholders.

With that, I'll turn the call over to Jared to discuss current market conditions and provide further details on our pipeline.

Jared Lewis

Thank you, Tom. Through most of this year and much of the third quarter, commercial real estate capital markets have performed well. Despite continuous interest rate volatility, ongoing concerns regarding inflation, rising energy costs and continued geopolitical uncertainty, transaction activity remains strong and financing activity has been robust. The recent spike in longer-term treasury yields and greater uncertainty surrounding the path of the federal funds rate has created a more challenging environment for many market participants today.

We are beginning to see signs of slowing sale transaction activity as buyers, sellers and lenders adjust return expectations to reflect the current and potential future interest rate environment. We are also starting to see a growing number of situations where certain lenders have had to reprice loan quotes or revisit transactions as market conditions have evolved. In many of these cases, higher interest rates have materially changed financing terms or caused lenders to step away from opportunities altogether.

Despite the heightened level of interest rate volatility and a potential slowdown in property sale activity, we continue to see significant demand for debt capital, driven by the substantial volume of loans originated during 2021, 2022 that are scheduled to mature over the next several years, which we believe will continue to create a meaningful and durable opportunity for Seven Hills.

The current macroeconomic climate should benefit lenders with the ability to source and evaluate transactions based on the quality of the underlying assets, the strength of sponsorship and the merits of a specific business plan rather than relying on lower interest rates as a means of value creation. To that end, we continue to see a number of attractive lending opportunities that no longer fit a traditional lender's loan sizing parameters and sponsors are in need of flexible capital and a lender that can deliver certainty of execution like Seven Hills.

In addition to industrial and multifamily, we continue to see opportunities spanning a variety of property types, including retail, medical office, self-storage and student housing. While there continues to be heightened competition among alternative lenders for high-quality opportunities, pricing for new investments has firmed up and the focus today is on certainty of execution in addition to pricing. We believe these conditions will continue to provide attractive risk-adjusted returns and support ongoing capital deployment.

Looking ahead, activity in our pipeline remains healthy. As Tom mentioned, we currently have 3 loans in diligence totaling over $120 million, and we continue to evaluate a steady flow of prospective opportunities. Given the significant volume of upcoming loan maturities across the market, we expect refinancing demand to remain a meaningful driver of our pipeline and origination activity.

With that, I'll turn the call over to Matt to discuss our financial results.

Matthew Brown

Thank you, Jared, and good morning, everyone. Yesterday, we reported third quarter distributable earnings of $3.8 million or $0.17 per share, which included a $1.5 million or $0.07 per share realized loss associated with the repayment of our Dallas office loan. Distributable earnings, excluding this loss, were $5.3 million or $0.24 per share at the midpoint of our guidance and in line with consensus estimates. As it relates to this $1.5 million realized loss, as Tom mentioned, the shortfall had been more than fully reserved through our CECL allowance in prior quarters and the release of this reserve was the primary driver of a net $3.6 million reversal of credit losses this quarter.

Just as important, this was a meaningfully under-levered loan and its repayment roughly doubles the lending capacity to approximately $93 million. Lastly, we are earning a net spread of only 100 basis points on this loan and the redeployment of these proceeds should generate higher net spreads, coupled with the unlocked additional capacity, resulting in further growth to our earnings.

Turning to credit. Our CECL reserve stands at $9.5 million or 130 basis points of total loan commitments, down from 190 basis points last quarter, largely driven by the resolution of the Dallas office loan. All of our loans are current on debt service and the portfolio's weighted average risk rating increased from 2.9 last quarter to 3.2. The increase was largely driven by 2 unrated loans being repaid for $71 million in the quarter as well as our Carlsbad, California office loan being downgraded to a risk rating of 5 before its resolution earlier this week. We expect to recognize a realized loss of approximately $2.6 million on this office loan in the fourth quarter, which was fully reserved for as of September 30.

From a liquidity standpoint, we ended the quarter with $51.5 million of cash and approximately $426 million of unused capacity under our secured financing facilities. The 2 loans we closed in late September, totaling $98 million were unlevered at quarter end. Financing these loans at our typical advance rates would generate approximately $78 million of additional liquidity available for redeployment.

During the quarter, we also extended our Citibank facility to September 2028, and we now have no facility maturities until 2028. Our debt-to-equity ratio remains conservative at 1.4x, and our liquidity positions us to fund our targeted portfolio growth.

Turning to our outlook. I want to start by walking through the drivers of earnings growth. First, the 2 loans we closed in late September contributed only modestly to our results, but they will contribute fully for the fourth quarter. Second, we have 3 loans totaling over $120 million in diligence that we expect to close in the fourth quarter, not including several additional investments the team is currently evaluating. And third, we were able to further grow our portfolio by approximately $57 million due to the increased capacity resulting from the 2 office loan repayments while also lending at meaningfully higher net interest margins.

To put this in perspective, at today's spreads and advance rates, each $100 million of net portfolio growth adds approximately $0.04 per share to quarterly distributable earnings. Closing the gap between our third quarter run rate and our dividend requires approximately $220 million of net portfolio growth, and we have the capital in place to fund it. Taking these factors into consideration, we expect fourth quarter distributable earnings, excluding realized losses to be in the range of $0.25 to $0.27 per share. Our reported distributable earnings will also reflect the approximately $0.11 per share realized loss on our Carlstad loan, which was fully reserved.

With origination activity picking up in the second half of the year, we are seeing our distributable earnings trending back towards our quarterly dividend level. Earlier this month, our Board declared a regular quarterly dividend of $0.28 per share. While distributable earnings remain below our dividend, we continue to expect meaningful earnings growth as recently closed loans begin contributing and additional investments are funded.

In addition, our portfolio remains 100% floating rate and sustained increases in benchmark rates provide an incremental benefit to earnings. Based on our current pipeline and capital deployment expectations, we now expect to achieve sustainable dividend coverage during the first half of 2027.

In closing, we believe continued financing demand is generating an attractive pipeline of new opportunities and the combination of declining office exposure, expanding lending capacity and a healthy origination pipeline positions Seven Hills to continue growing earnings and shareholder value into 2027.

That concludes our prepared remarks. Operator, please open the line for questions.

[Operator Instructions]

Our first question comes from Marissa Lobo of UBS.

Preguntas y respuestas

Ameeta Lobo Nelson

Looking at liquidity, given the significant liquidity still available, where do you ultimately expect leverage to settle once the current pipeline is funded?

Matthew Brown

Marissa, it's a good question. Our leverage is conservative at 1.4x at September 30. It's been around that level for several quarters now. It is important to note that those -- the $98 million of loans were unlevered at quarter end. So we didn't see an increase in leverage. But as we deploy capital in the fourth quarter and into early 2027, we expect that leverage to grow to above 2x.

Ameeta Lobo Nelson

Okay. Great. And you had several early repayments that we saw in the quarter across student housing, hotel, self-storage. Can you speak to what drove those payoffs and what you're seeing in refinancing liquidity across those sectors?

Thomas Lorenzini

Sure. The student housing transaction was actually a sale. Our understanding is that they literally received an offer that they couldn't turn down because it was significantly higher than they were anticipating. So that was not a planned repayment, I guess, absent the offer that they received. On the self-storage, that loan was performing as expected. They simply -- the sponsor there had refinanced the portfolio. We only had 2 of the assets, and then he refinanced, I think, another 3 or 4 and put them together and then the larger acquisition or larger refinance on that.

And then on the hotel transaction, they had fully executed their business plan there. That property was performing quite well, and they simply were looking to refinance into a more permanent debt structure and pay back our floating rate debt.

Operator

Our next question comes from Jason Weaver of JonesTrading.

Jason Weaver

Seeing the third quarter origination spreads have come down almost 90 basis points since first quarter. Where do you expect that number to settle in? And is that related to mix shift with the Chattanooga property coming relatively tight? What do you think the sustainable run rate would be going forward once the mix is more notable?

Jared Lewis

Jason, this is Jared. So the Chattanooga deal definitely had an impact on sort of where the net margins were and spreads were for those 3 loans. It was a larger loan, obviously, but it was a very well-performing asset and sort of -- it provides a real efficient use of capital because 100% of that -- those dollars are deployed day 1. So net-net, while the spread was a little bit lower, it's sort of like a cornerstone and a real good cash flowing asset that eats up a lot of useful capital for us, which was great.

Going forward, the 3 loans that we've got currently in diligence sort of make up for a good chunk of that lower spread. I can't get into too much of the detail as to where those are pricing right now, but we made up margins on those -- in those 3 loans that we're currently in diligence on and plan to close in the next month or so.

And then from a steady state perspective, Matt can probably speak to where we settle out going forward, but we're seeing deals, and we're pricing loans right now with net margins anywhere from 145 to 165 give or take. So it's really just going to be a deal-by-deal basis, but...

Matthew Brown

Yes. Overall, I think a good assumption is somewhere between a net spread of 160 and probably 180.

Jason Weaver

Got it. That's good color. I appreciate it. And then on the reserve release, it looks like the allowance came down to 130 basis points of commitments. Beyond the Dallas specific reversal, did any of that reflect the change in the macro overlay? Or was it related to other properties in particular?

Matt Murphy

No, it wasn't anything specific to the macro. With the $122 million of new loans we did in the quarter, we established reserves on that. So that made up a good chunk of kind of the delta between the $4.7 million reduction from the Dallas loan and the $3.6 million total reversal that netted out.

Operator

Our next question comes from Chris Muller of Citizens Capital Markets.

Christopher Muller

So really great outcome on the Dallas office property there. I guess the question is, did something improve at the property or in that market that resulted in you guys being over reserved? Just curious how that kind of played out.

Thomas Lorenzini

A couple of things there. Again, the asset was performing fine. They've continued to lease space there. But through our negotiations with -- for a potential extension there, sponsorship was very bullish on -- remain very bullish on the asset. We had the asset appraised. And just through a negotiated payoff, we arrived at the number that we arrived at, and we felt very comfortable with it. We simply had a larger CECL reserve on there, really just based on kind of the broader Dallas market and kind of what we -- where we saw some trades happening, and we wanted to certainly be conservative with the way that we presented that reserve. So there wasn't anything in particular to point to, to say that did we over reserve on that in hindsight, potentially. But again, I think we'd rather take that tact than be under-reserved on these situations.

Christopher Muller

Got it. I mean sometimes the stars just the line. So it's a really great outcome there. And I guess given the increased capacity that you guys cited following these resolutions, do you have a target portfolio size over the next year or so in mind? I know in the past you've talked about getting to $1 billion. Is that kind of back in the cards now? Just how are you thinking about portfolio growth over the next year?

Thomas Lorenzini

Yes, I think that's absolutely in the cards. We're -- at the end of Q3, we're about $745 million. You back off the Carlsbad payoff that just occurred and then the new closings that we plan to have will be mid-8s, $850 million, something along those lines. And we have additional transactions that we're certainly looking at right now. So we would hope to close out the year somewhere around $900 million, maybe potentially more. And then I think for 2027, we're expecting to maintain between $1 billion and $1.1 billion of portfolio size.

Operator

The next question comes from Craig Kucera of Lucid.

Craig Kucera

I'm curious to hear as to whether or not the Yardley office asset is up for sale or any update on what's going on there?

Thomas Lorenzini

Yes, sure. So we are in active lease discussions with a tenant there. We hope to have something that we can report in the fourth quarter where we've got an executed lease. And then at that point, we're going to be approaching 90-some-odd percent leased on the asset. And I think our business plan will then be to monetize that come early to mid-2027. And that will free up some additional capacity for us, too, at the same time, which will be great, right? So that will give us another, I think, $40-some-odd million of potential loan capacity upon repayment or sale.

Craig Kucera

Got it. And just kind of going through your loan portfolio, it looks like you had a few loans that moved from a risk rating 3 to 4. Can you give us some color on what's going on in both the Downers Grove office loan and the Fontana industrial loan?

Thomas Lorenzini

Yes, sure. So those both moved primarily due to near-term maturities. We're in conversations with both of those sponsors right now. The Fontana loan is a -- both of those loans are actually with repeat sponsors of ours. My anticipation would be that there's probably some short-term extensions there. But we're anticipating positive outcomes of both. I just don't know that they're going to be repaid exactly on the maturity date at this point on the current maturity date.

Craig Kucera

Right. And just one more for me. I think you mentioned that you were looking for $0.25 to $0.27 in fourth quarter earnings available for distribution. Was that net of the $0.11 loss? Or was that not including that?

Matthew Brown

That was not including that $0.11 loss.

Craig Kucera

I just wanted to confirm that.

Operator

The next question comes from Christopher Nolan of Ladenburg Thalmann.

Christopher Nolan

As a follow-up on the $0.11, will that be accompanied by a reserve release?

Matthew Brown

So we've set the reserve as of September 30 to match that $2.6 million loss that we'll realize in the fourth quarter. So from a net income standpoint, there will be no impact there.

Christopher Nolan

Okay. And if you guys can articulate what you think in terms of capital management, the stock is trading at 44% of book value and in specific, like to see what it needs to get to, to start implementing share repurchases.

Matthew Brown

It's a fair question. At today's pricing, which we're obviously not pleased with, you can make an argument that it'd be accretive to do a share repurchase plan. In December of 2025, when we completed the rights offering, the strategy was to grow the portfolio because at Seven Hills, the size was an issue there. And we're really seeing that origination activity picking up here in the second half of the year. We're trending towards getting back to dividend coverage, and we think that's really the best path right now to continue doing what we do best, originating, underwriting, asset managing loans to really narrow that gap between share price and book value per share.

Christopher Nolan

Right. Okay. And then final question. GAAP EPS well exceeded the dividend, but book value per share went down. It looks like to me that there were some share issuances in the quarter, were these 2 employees?

Matthew Brown

That is correct. In September of each year, the Compensation Committee generally grants, share grants to officers and employees of Tremont, SEVN and RMR.

Christopher Nolan

And were these close to the current share trading price?

Matt Murphy

They are at -- it's the fair value of the share price on the day of grant, and they vest over 5 years.
