LADDER’S CREDIT RATINGS & COMMENTARY
Selected Moody’s report commentary:
• Ladder's rating is based on the firm's
moderate leverage, high-quality assets,
history of profitability since inception, and
increasing funding diversification
• We believe that the stability of Ladder's
earnings performance has improved from
the company's shift in revenue mix over
the last few years toward more stable
sources
• Ladder has demonstrated strong credit
results, having recorded minimal credit
losses in its loan portfolio since inception,
reflecting the company's strong risk
management culture, as well as highly
experienced and well-regarded
management team
Selected S&P report commentary:
• Ladder's assets have a lower risk profile
than typical finance companies with similar
levels of leverage, in our view
• Unlike peers, a significant amount of the
company's leverage is in its investment-
grade securities investments
• Ladder's funding has shifted significantly in
the past couple of years toward longer
term, more stable collateralized loan
obligations and unsecured funding, and
away from repurchase facilities
• The company protects against margin call
risk by holding substantial amounts of
cash and unencumbered assets and by
maintaining significant unused capacity
on its financing lines

Selected Fitch report commentary:
• The ratings of Ladder reflect their platform as
a CRE investor, conservative underwriting
culture, granular portfolio and internal
management structure
• Ladder has prudently expanded into
investing equity in CRE assets and
continues to originate loans on transitional
properties for its balance sheet. These
businesses provide for a more stable base of
net interest and rental/lease income
• Fitch believes that the Ladder management
team has significant experience and a solid
track record at Ladder and other firms
• Although Brian Harris, a founder of Ladder,
has been CEO since inception, the company
has two other founders on its management
team (Pamela McCormack – President and
Robert Perelman – Head of Asset Manage-
ment), which helps mitigate key person risk

  • 23. 23 LADDER’S CREDIT RATINGS & COMMENTARY Selected Moody’s report commentary: • Ladder's rating is based on the firm's moderate leverage, high-quality assets, history of profitability since inception, and increasing funding diversification • We believe that the stability of Ladder's earnings performance has improved from the company's shift in revenue mix over the last few years toward more stable sources • Ladder has demonstrated strong credit results, having recorded minimal credit losses in its loan portfolio since inception, reflecting the company's strong risk management culture, as well as highly experienced and well-regarded management team Selected S&P report commentary: • Ladder's assets have a lower risk profile than typical finance companies with similar levels of leverage, in our view • Unlike peers, a significant amount of the company's leverage is in its investment- grade securities investments • Ladder's funding has shifted significantly in the past couple of years toward longer term, more stable collateralized loan obligations and unsecured funding, and away from repurchase facilities • The company protects against margin call risk by holding substantial amounts of cash and unencumbered assets and by maintaining significant unused capacity on its financing lines Moody’s Standard & Poor’s Corporate Family Rating Senior Unsecured Outlook BB- BB- Stable Corporate Family Rating Senior Unsecured Outlook Ba2i Ba3i Positive Selected Fitch report commentary: • The ratings of Ladder reflect their platform as a CRE investor, conservative underwriting culture, granular portfolio and internal management structure • Ladder has prudently expanded into investing equity in CRE assets and continues to originate loans on transitional properties for its balance sheet. These businesses provide for a more stable base of net interest and rental/lease income • Fitch believes that the Ladder management team has significant experience and a solid track record at Ladder and other firms • Although Brian Harris, a founder of Ladder, has been CEO since inception, the company has two other founders on its management team (Pamela McCormack – President and Robert Perelman – Head of Asset Manage- ment), which helps mitigate key person risk Fitch Corporate Family Rating Senior Unsecured Outlook BBi BBi Positive
