Granite Point Posts $62M Q2 Loss, Book Value Drops to $5.70; CLO Refi Cuts Costs
GPMT sits 17% above its 52-week low of $1.24.
Summary
Granite Point reported a steep Q2 GAAP net loss of $62 million, or $1.29 per share, driven by realized losses and credit provisions. Book value per share fell to $5.70, with a heavy $3.44 per share CECL reserve. The company refinanced two legacy CLOs with JPMorgan post-quarter, trimming funding costs by 38 basis points on $521 million of assets—a modest but tangible improvement. Loan resolutions continue, including a $76 million retail property workout, but the portfolio remains under pressure with a 3.2 average risk rating. With unrestricted cash at just $35.7 million as of early August, liquidity is tight. The next earnings call will be critical for any signs of stabilization.
