• Ladder targets total Company leverage of approximately 2.0x – 3.0x

(1) ) was 2.8x as of

INTEREST RATE RISK MANAGEMENT

Note: As of 06/30/2017

• Conduit loans are 5 to 10-year fixed-rate loans. Ladder typically hedges all or most of the interest rate risk associated with these loans

• Balance sheet loans are typically 1 to 3-year, floating-rate loans, which generate more income with rising interest rates

• Securities portfolio is very highly-rated (100% investment grade) and short in duration (3.4-year weighted-average), which offers significant protection against changes in interest rates. Ladder typically hedges securities positions with durations longer than 5 years

• Real estate (equity), most of which is net-leased, is typically financed with long-term, fixed-rate, non-recourse mortgage debt

• Additionally, Ladder has $757 million of unsecured, fixed-rate corporate bonds outstanding

Page 18: INVESTOR PRESENTATIONHIGH-QUALITY ASSET BASE Note: As of 06/30/2017. All metrics are shown based on Ladder’s Core Balance Sheet. For reconciliation from GAAP Balance Sheet to Core

• In a rising interest rate environment, Ladder would expect to benefit from:

$2.1 billion floating rate balance sheet loan portfolio

$1.7 billion of fixed rate debt with remaining terms greater than one year

$695.1 million (notional value) of interest rate hedge positions that place Ladder in a position equivalent to that of a “fixed rate payer / floating rate receiver”

The Company estimates that a 100 basis point increase in LIBOR would result in an increase in annual net interest income of approximately $11.5 million

Change in LIBOR

Projected Change in Annual Net Interest Income

Projected Change in Portfolio Value

Decrease of 100 Basis Points ($9.0 million) $25.9 million (1.8% of book equity)
