&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;mark-to-credit, as of December 31, 2022.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Entered into three new asset specific financing facilities totaling $490.6 million, which provide non-recourse match-term asset-based financing on a non-mark-to-market basis.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Entered into a new $350.0 million term lending agreement, which provides match-term financing on a non-mark-to-market basis with an option to increase the facility to $500.0 million.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*•* Increased the borrowing capacity of an existing $500.0 million term lending agreement to $1.0 billion, which provides match-term asset-based financing on a non-mark-to-market basis.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Increased the borrowing capacity on the Revolver by $275.0 million to $610.0 million and extended the maturity date through March 2027.

Weighted average LTV excludes loans with a risk rating of 5 and one real estate corporate loan to a multifamily operator.

(2)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Weighted average coupon assumes the greater of applicable index rate, including one-month LIBOR and Term SOFR, or the applicable contractual rate floor as of December 31, 2022.

------

Net income includes a CECL provision of $112.4 million, or ($1.66) per diluted share, for the twelve months ended December 31, 2022. The increase in the CECL provision was primarily due to heightened market volatility and uncertainty, and reduced liquidity in the office sector.

Matt Salem, Chief Executive Officer of KREF, said: "Entering 2023, KREF is well positioned with liquidity of $950 million, 77% non-mark-to-market financing, and significant operating earnings tail-wind from current interest rate market."

Patrick Mattson, President and Chief Operating Officer of KREF, added: "KREF grew the multifamily and industrial loan portfolios in 2022 while leveraging KKR's Capital Markets franchise to source diversified financing solutions."

The following events occurred subsequent to December 31, 2022:

***Financing Activities***

*Loan Modifications*

In January 2023, the Company completed the modification of a senior office loan located in Philadelphia, PA, that was risk-rated 4 at September 30, 2022, with an outstanding principal balance of $161.0 million, of which $25.0 million was deemed uncollectible and written off, as of December 31, 2022. The terms of the modification included, among others, a $25.0 million principal repayment and a restructure of the Company's $136.0 million senior loan (after the $25.0 million repayment) into a $116.5 million committed senior mortgage loan (including future funding of $5.5 million) and a $25.0 million junior mezzanine note. The junior mezzanine note is subordinate to a new $41.5 million committed senior mezzanine note (including future funding of $16.5 million) held by the sponsor. The restructured senior loan earns a coupon rate of S+3.25% and has a new term of up to four years, assuming all extension options are exercised. The senior loan was risk-rated 5 at December 31, 2022, then reassessed post-modification and is currently a risk-rated 3 loan.

***Corporate Activities***

*Dividends*

In January 2023, the Company paid $29.7 million in dividends on its common stock, or $0.43 per share, with respect to the fourth quarter of 2022, to stockholders of record on December 30, 2022.

*Share Repurchase Program*

In February 2023, the Company's Board of Directors (the "Board") authorized an increase to the Company's share repurchase program. Under the program, as increased by the Board, the Company may repurchase up to an aggregate of $100.0 million of its common stock, inclusive of any amounts remaining under its existing repurchase authorization, effective as of February 3, 2023, of which up to $50.0 million may be repurchased under a pre-set trading plan meeting the requirements of Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), and provide for repurchases of common stock when the market price per share is below book value per share (calculated in accordance with GAAP as of end of the most recent quarterly period for which financial statements are available), and the remaining $50.0 million may be used for repurchases in the open market, pursuant to pre-set trading plans meeting the requirements of Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act, in privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. The timing, manner, price and amount of any common stock repurchases will be determined by the Company in its discretion and will depend on a variety of factors, including legal requirements, price, liquidity and economic considerations, and market conditions. The program does not require the Company to repurchase any specific number of shares of common stock. The program does not have an expiration date and may be suspended, modified or discontinued at any time.

**Definitions:**

"Loan-to-value ratio": Generally based on the initial loan amount divided by the as-is appraised value as of the date the loan was originated or by the current principal amount as of the date of the most recent as-is appraised value. For the CMBS B-Pieces, LTV is based on the weighted average LTV of the underlying loan pool.

"Distributable Earnings": Distributable Earnings, a measure that is not prepared in accordance with GAAP, is a key indicator of the Company's ability to generate sufficient income to pay its quarterly dividends and in determining the amount of such

------

dividends, which is the primary focus of yield/income investors who comprise a significant portion of the Company's investor base. Accordingly, the Company believes providing Distributable Earnings on a supplemental basis to its net income as determined in accordance with GAAP is helpful to its stockholders in assessing the overall performance of the Company's business.

The Company defines Distributable Earnings as net income (loss) attributable to stockholders or, without duplication, owners of the Company's subsidiaries, computed in accordance with GAAP, including realized losses not otherwise included in GAAP net income (loss) and excluding (i) non-cash equity compensation expense, (ii) depreciation and amortization, (iii) any unrealized gains or losses or other similar non-cash items that are included in net income for the applicable reporting period, regardless of whether such items are included in other comprehensive income or loss, or in net income, and (iv) one-time events pursuant to changes in GAAP and certain material non-cash income or expense items agreed upon after discussions between the Company's manager and board of directors and after approval by a majority of the Company's independent directors. The exclusion of depreciation and amortization from the calculation of Distributable Earnings only applies to debt investments related to real estate to the extent the Company forecloses upon the property or properties underlying such debt investments.

Distributable Earnings should not be considered as a substitute for GAAP net income. The Company cautions readers that its methodology for calculating Distributable Earnings may differ from the methodologies employed by other REITs to calculate the same or similar supplemental performance measures, and as a result, the Company's reported Distributable Earnings may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other REITs.

The weighted average diluted shares outstanding used for purposes of calculating Distributable Earnings per diluted weighted average share has been adjusted from the weighted average diluted shares outstanding under GAAP to exclude potential shares that may be issued upon the conversion of the Convertible Notes. Consistent with the treatment of other unrealized adjustments to Distributable Earnings, these potentially issuable shares are excluded until a conversion occurs, which we believe is a useful presentation for investors. We believe that excluding shares issued in connection with a potential conversion of the Convertible Notes from our computation of Distributable Earnings per diluted weighted average share is useful to investors for various reasons, including: (i) conversion of Convertible Notes to shares would require the holder of a note to elect to convert the Convertible Note and for us to elect to settle the conversion in the form of shares, and we currently intend to settle the Convertible Notes in cash; (ii) future conversion decisions by note holders will be based on our stock price in the future, which is presently not determinable; and (iii) we believe that when evaluating our operating performance, investors and potential investors consider our Distributable Earnings relative to our actual distributions, which are based on shares outstanding and not shares that might be issued in the future.

20 Portfolio Details (1) Our total portfolio represents the current principal amount on senior, mezzanine and corporate loans, net equity in RECOP I, which holds CMBS B-Piece investments, and net carrying value of our sole REO investment. Excludes one impaired mezzanine loan with an outstanding principal of $5.5 million that was fully written off. For Senior Loan 12, the total whole loan is $375.0 million, co-originated and co-funded by us and a KKR affiliate. Our interest was 50% of the loan or $187.5 million, of which $150.0 million in senior notes were syndicated to a third party. Post syndication, we retained a mezzanine loan with a commitment of $37.5 million, fully funded as of December 31, 2022, at an interest rate of L+7.9%. For Senior Loan 20, the total whole loan is $509.9 million, co-originated and co-funded by us and a KKR affiliate. Our interest was 31% of the loan or $159.7 million, of which $134.7 million in senior notes were syndicated to third party lenders. Post syndication, we retained a mezzanine loan with a commitment of $25.0 million, of which $21.0 million was funded as of December 31, 2022, at an interest rate of L+12.9%. (2) Total Whole Loan represents total commitment of the entire whole loan originated. Committed Principal Amount includes participations by KKR affiliated entities and third parties that are syndicated/sold. (3) Net equity reflects (i) the amortized cost basis of our loans, net of borrowings; and (ii) the cost basis of our investments in RECOP I and REO. (4) Weighted average is weighted by the current principal amount for our senior, mezzanine and corporate loans and by net equity for our RECOP I CMBS B-Pieces. Non-Senior Loan 1 and risk-rated 5 loans are excluded from the weighted average LTV. (5) Coupon expressed as spread over the relevant floating benchmark rates, which include LIBOR and Term SOFR, as applicable to each loan. As of December 31, 2022, 44.6% and 55.4% of our loans by principal amount earned a floating rate of interest indexed to Term SOFR and LIBOR, respectively. (6) Max remaining term (years) assumes all extension options are exercised, if applicable. (7) Loan Per SF / Unit / Key is based on the current principal amount divided by the current SF / Unit / Key. For Senior Loans 2, 3, 7, 23, 24, 30, 34, 44, 56, and 75, Loan Per SF / Unit / Key is calculated as the total commitment amount of the loan divided by the proposed SF / Unit / Key. (8) For senior loans, LTV is generally based on the initial loan amount divided by the as-is appraised value as of the date the loan was originated or by the current principal amount as of the date of the most recent as-is appraised value; for mezzanine loans, LTV is based on the current balance of the whole loan divided by the as-is appraised value as of the date the loan was originated; for RECOP I CMBS B-Pieces, LTV is based on the weighted average LTV of the underlying loan pool at issuance. Weighted Average LTV excludes risk rated-5 loans and one fully funded corporate loan to a multifamily operator with an outstanding principal amount of $40.4 million. For Senior Loans 13 and 74, LTV is based on the current principal amount divided by the adjusted appraised gross sellout value net of sales cost. For Senior Loans 2, 3, 7, 23, 24, 30, 34, 44, 56, and 75, LTV is calculated as the total commitment amount of the loan divided by the as-stabilized value as of the date the loan was originated. (9) Senior loans include senior mortgages and similar credit quality investments, including junior participations in our originated senior loans for which we have syndicated the senior participations and retained the junior participations for our portfolio and excludes vertical loan participations. (10) For Senior Loan 24, the total whole loan facility is $283.6 million, co-originated and co-funded by us and a KKR affiliate. Our interest was 50% of the facility or $141.8 million. The facility is comprised of individual cross-collateralized whole loans. As of December 31, 2022, there were ten underlying senior loans in the facility with a commitment of $141.8 million and outstanding principal of $71.9 million. (11) For Senior Loan 28, Total Whole Loan, Committed Principal Amount, and Current Principal Amount are shown net of a $25.0 million write-off. (12) For Senior Loan 74, Loan per SF of $1,061 is based on the allocated loan amount of the residential units. Excluding the value of the retail and parking components of the collateral, the Loan per SF is $2,321 based on allocating the full amount of the loan to only the residential units. (13) Represents our investment in an aggregator vehicle alongside RECOP I that invests in CMBS B-Pieces. Committed principal represents our total commitment to the aggregator vehicle whereas current principal represents the current funded amount.

26 Key Definitions "Distributable Earnings": Commencing for all periods ending on or after December 31, 2020, the Company has elected to present Distributable Earnings, a measure that is not prepared in accordance with GAAP, as a supplemental basis to KREF's net income as determined in accordance with GAAP as the Company believes it would be useful to investors in evaluating the Company's operating performance and its ability to pay its dividends. Distributable Earnings replaces the Company's prior presentation of Core Earnings, and Core Earnings presentations from prior reporting periods have been recast as Distributable Earnings. The Company defines Distributable Earnings as net income (loss) attributable to stockholders or, without duplication, owners of the Company's subsidiaries, computed in accordance with GAAP, including realized losses not otherwise included in GAAP net income (loss) and excluding (i) non-cash equity compensation expense, (ii) depreciation and amortization, (iii) any unrealized gains or losses or other similar non-cash items that are included in net income for the applicable reporting period, regardless of whether such items are included in other comprehensive income or loss, or in net income, and (iv) one-time events pursuant to changes in GAAP and certain material non-cash income or expense items agreed upon after discussions between the Company's Manager and board of directors and after approval by a majority of the independent directors. The exclusion of depreciation and amortization from the calculation of Distributable Earnings only applies to debt investments related to real estate to the extent the Company forecloses upon the property or properties underlying such debt investments. Distributable Earnings should not be considered as a substitute for GAAP net income. The Company cautions readers that its methodology for calculating Distributable Earnings may differ from the methodologies employed by other REITs to calculate the same or similar supplemental performance measures, and as a result, the Company's reported Distributable Earnings may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other REITs. The weighted average diluted shares outstanding used for purposes of calculating Distributable Earnings per diluted weighted average share has been adjusted from the weighted average diluted shares outstanding under GAAP to exclude potential shares that may be issued upon the conversion of the Convertible Notes. Consistent with the treatment of other unrealized adjustments to Distributable Earnings, these potentially issuable shares are excluded until a conversion occurs, which we believe is a useful presentation for investors. We believe that excluding shares issued in connection with a potential conversion of the Convertible Notes from our computation of Distributable Earnings per diluted weighted average share is useful to investors for various reasons, including: (i) conversion of Convertible Notes to shares would require the holder of a note to elect to convert the Convertible Note and for us to elect to settle the conversion in the form of shares, and we currently intend to settle the Convertible Notes in cash; (ii) future conversion decisions by note holders will be based on our stock price in the future, which is presently not determinable; and (iii) we believe that when evaluating our operating performance, investors and potential investors consider our Distributable Earnings relative to our actual distributions, which are based on shares outstanding and not shares that might be issued in the future.
