GREENWICH, Conn., Feb. 28, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Starwood Property Trust, Inc. (NYSE: STWD) today announced operating results for the fiscal quarter and year ended December 31, 2017. The Company's fourth quarter 2017 GAAP net income was $92.6 million, or $0.35 per diluted share, and $400.8 million, or $1.52 per diluted share, for the full year. Core Earnings (a non-GAAP financial measure) for the fourth quarter was $144.7 million, or $0.55 per diluted share and $584.2 million, or $2.23 per diluted share, for the full year.
"We are very pleased with our performance in 2017. Each of our business lines continued to perform exceedingly well, demonstrating the strength of our multi-cylinder platform. We grew our diversified portfolio with the deployment of $7.3 billion of capital during the year, including $4.2 billion of originations in our large loan business, an increase of 29% from prior year," commented Barry Sternlicht, Chairman and CEO of Starwood Property Trust.
"Our large loan business continues to be our primary line of business, and we ended the quarter with the highest loan balance on the books in the over eight year history of our firm. As we expand our originations team, we have maintained credit quality while reducing the cost of our liabilities to create returns that are at or above historical levels, despite changes in the lending environment. Leveraging our diversified platform, our relationship with Starwood Capital Group, and ample liquidity, we expect to close on a record pipeline of over $2.5 billion of investments in the first quarter."
