**Lument Finance Trust Reports Fourth Quarter Results**

NEW YORK, March 23, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — **Lument Finance Trust, Inc.** (NYSE: LFT) ("we", "LFT" or "the Company") today reported its fourth quarter 2022 results. Distributable earnings for the quarter was $3.3 million, or $0.06 per share of common stock. GAAP net income attributable to common shareholders for the quarter was $0.9 million, or $0.02 per share of common stock.

**Non-GAAP Financial Measures**

In this release, the Company presents certain financial measures that are not calculated according to generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP"). Specifically, the Company is presenting distributable earnings, which constitutes a non-GAAP financial measure within the meaning of Item 10(e) of Regulation S-K and is net income under GAAP. While we believe the non-GAAP information included in this press release provides supplemental information to assist investors in analyzing our results, and to assist investors in comparing our results with other peer issuers, these measures are not in accordance with GAAP, and they should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, our financial information calculated in accordance with GAAP. The methods of calculating non-GAAP financial measures may differ substantially from similarly titled measures used by other companies. Our GAAP financial results and the reconciliations from these results should be carefully evaluated.

**Distributable Earnings**

Distributable Earnings is a non-GAAP measure, which we define as GAAP net income (loss) attributable to holders of common stock computed in accordance with GAAP, including realized losses not otherwise included in GAAP net income (loss) and excluding (i) non-cash equity compensation, (ii) depreciation and amortization, (iii) any unrealized gains or losses or other similar non-cash items that are included in net income for that applicable reporting period, regardless of whether such items are included in other comprehensive income (loss) or net income (loss), and (iv) one-time events pursuant to changes in GAAP and certain material non-cash income or expense items after discussions with the Company's board of directors and approved by a majority of the Company's independent directors. Distributable Earnings mirrors how we calculate Core Earnings pursuant to the terms of our management agreement between our Manager and us, or our Management Agreement, for purposes of calculating the incentive fee payable to our Manager.

While Distributable Earnings excludes the impact of any unrealized provisions for credit losses, any loan losses are charged off and realized through Distributable Earnings when deemed non-recoverable. Non-recoverability is determined (i) upon the resolution of a loan (i.e. when the loan is repaid, fully or partially, or in the case of foreclosures, when the underlying asset is sold), or (ii) with respect to any amount due under any loan, when such amount is determined to be non-collectible.

We believe that Distributable Earnings provides meaningful information to consider in addition to our net income (loss) and cash flows from operating activities determined in accordance with GAAP. We believe Distributable Earnings is a useful financial metric for existing and potential future holders of our common stock as historically, over time, Distributable Earnings has been a strong indicator of our dividends per share of common stock. As a REIT, we generally must distribute annually at least 90% of our taxable income, subject to certain adjustments, and therefore we believe our dividends are one of the principal reasons stockholders may invest in our common stock. Furthermore, Distributable Earnings help us to evaluate our performance excluding the effects of certain transactions and GAAP adjustments that we believe are not necessarily indicative of our current loan portfolio and operations, and is a performance metric we consider when declaring our dividends.

Distributable Earnings does not represent net income (loss) or cash generated from operating activities and should not be considered as an alternative to GAAP net income (loss), or an indication of GAAP cash flows from operations, a measure of our liquidity, or an indication of funds available for our cash needs.

Key Definitions 20 " Book Value Per Share of Common Stock " is calculated as: a) total stockholders' equity computed in accordance with GAAP less the value of the issued and outstanding preferred stock at its stated liquidation preference of $25.00 per share, divided by b) the weight ed average number of shares of common stock issued and outstanding during the period, basic and diluted. " Distributable Earnings " is a non - GAAP measure, which we define as GAAP net income (loss) attributable to holders' of common stock, or, without duplication, owners of the Company's subsidiaries, computed in accordance with GAAP, including realized losses not ot her wise included in GAAP net income (loss) and excluding (i) non - cash equity compensation, (ii) depreciation and amortization, (iii) any unrealized gains or losses or other similar non - cash items that are included in net income for that applicable reporting period, regardless of whether such items are included in other comprehensive income (loss) or net income (loss), and (iv) one - time events pursuant to changes in GAAP and certain material non - cash income or expense items after discussions with the Company's board of directors and approved by a majority of the Company's independent directors. We also add back one - time charges such as acquisition costs and one - time gains/losses on the early extinguishment of debt and redemption of preferred stock. Distributable Earnings mirrors how we calculate Core Earnings pursu ant to the terms of our management agreement between our Manager and us, or our Management Agreement, for purposes of calculating the incentive fee payable to our Manager. While Distributable Earnings excludes the impact of any unrealized provisions for credi t l osses, any loan losses are charged off and realized through Distributable Earnings when deemed non - recoverable. Non - recoverability is determine d (i) upon the resolution of a loan (i.e. when the loan is repaid, fully or partially, or in the case of foreclosures, when the underlyi ng asset is sold), or (ii) with respect to any amount due under any loan, when such amount is determined to be non - collectible. We believe that Distributable Earnings provides meaningful information to consider in addition to our net income (loss) and c ash flows from operating activities determined in accordance with GAAP. We believe Distributable Earnings is a useful financial metric for e xis ting and potential future holders of our common stock as historically, over time, Distributable Earnings has been a strong indicator o f o ur dividends per share. As a REIT, we generally must distribute annually at least 90% of our taxable income, subject to certain adjustment s, and therefore we believe our dividends are one of the principal reasons stockholders may invest in our common stock. Refer to Note 16 to ou r c onsolidated financial statements for further discussion of our distribution requirements as a REIT. Furthermore, Distributable Earnings h elp us to evaluate our performance excluding the effects of certain transactions and GAAP adjustments that we believe are not necessarily indica tiv e of our current loan portfolio and operations, and is a performance metric we consider when declaring our dividends. Distributable Earnings does not represent net income (loss) or cash generated from operating activities and should not be con sid ered as an alternative to GAAP net income (loss), or an indication of GAAP cash flows from operations, a measure of our liquidity, or an in dication of funds available for our cash needs. In addition, our methodology for calculating Distributable Earnings may differ from the m eth odologies employed by other companies to calculate the same or similar performance measures, and accordingly, our reported Distributabl e E arnings may not be comparable to the Distributable Earnings reported by other companies.
