A year earlier, Arbor Realty Trust had reported net income of 38.5 million US dollars, or 0.20 US dollars per diluted share. Distributable loss was 0.04 US dollars per diluted share, compared with distributable earnings of 0.35 US dollars in the prior-year quarter.
The company also reported 21.7 million US dollars of net realized losses tied to the resolution of certain legacy assets. Excluding those losses, distributable earnings would have been 0.08 US dollars per share, according to the company. The measure is non-GAAP and is not intended to represent operating cash flow or liquidity.
