MARCH 31, 2015 FINANCIAL RESULTS
Chicago, IL — May 7, 2015 - Ares Commercial Real Estate Corporation (the “Company,” “ACRE,” “we,” or “our”) (NYSE:ACRE), a specialty finance company primarily engaged in principal lending and mortgage banking of commercial real estate investments, reported net income of $7.1 million or $0.25 per diluted common share for the quarter ended March 31, 2015. In addition, the Company announced that its Board of Directors declared a second quarter 2015 dividend of $0.25 per common share payable on July 15, 2015 to common stockholders of record on June 30, 2015.
“We are very pleased with our first quarter results which increased nearly 50% year-over-year,” said Todd Schuster, President and Chief Executive Officer of ACRE. “We expect our earnings to continue to grow as we begin to capitalize on the integration of our national direct origination platform that has access to both balance sheet and GSE capital. These complementary funding sources uniquely position us to directly provide a variety of solutions to our borrowers. Given our strong current forward pipeline and our positive outlook, we are increasing the range of our 2015 earnings guidance.”
“For 2015, we are focused on further improving our earnings through balance sheet optimization and expense minimization,” said Tae-Sik Yoon, Chief Financial Officer of ACRE. “We expect to accomplish these goals by prudently managing our existing capital base with no requirement to raise additional common equity or equity linked capital.”
2015 GUIDANCE UPDATE
For the year ending December 31, 2015, the Company is increasing its estimated net income per diluted common share to be between $1.04 to $1.14.
The Company’s guidance is based upon management’s current expectations regarding (1) the timing and amount of, and returns on, originations in the Principal Lending and Mortgage Banking segments in the Company’s existing pipeline, (2) the timing and amount of repayments in the Principal Lending and Mortgage Banking segments, (3) the availability and cost, including advance rates, of additional debt capital to fund new investments and commitments on existing investments, refinance existing indebtedness and for general corporate working capital purposes, (4) interest rate volatility, (5) change in the fair value of mortgage servicing rights and derivatives held by the Company, (6) taxation associated with the Company’s taxable REIT subsidiaries (“TRS”), including most significantly the TRS that holds the Mortgage Banking segment, (7) changes in the Company’s operating costs and expenses, (8) impact of raising additional debt or equity capital and (9) material acquisitions or dispositions by the Company. The Company’s guidance is also based on current expectations of market conditions, including but not limited to the level of lending and borrowing spreads, commercial real estate loan volumes and government-sponsored enterprise activity and the judgment of the Company’s management team. There is no guarantee or assurance that such activities will occur as expected or at all. The Company’s earnings estimates are forward-looking statements and are subject to risks and other factors described elsewhere in this press release. The Company will discuss the earnings estimates on its May 7, 2015 conference call. Actual events or conditions may differ materially from these assumptions and therefore, actual results may vary significantly.

(1) The difference between the Carrying Amount and the Outstanding Principal face amount of the loans held for investment consists of unamortized purchase discount, deferred loan fees and loan origination costs.

MORTGAGE BANKING BUSINESS (ACRE CAPITAL) AS OF MARCH 31, 2015
For the three months ended March 31, 2015, ACRE Capital originated $80.6 million in commitments of Fannie Mae Delegated Underwriting and Servicing (“Fannie Mae”) loans and $121.4 million in commitments of Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“Freddie Mac”) loans.
As of March 31, 2015, ACRE Capital’s multifamily servicing portfolio consisted of 970 loans with an unpaid principal balance of $4.2 billion. The carrying value of ACRE Capital’s mortgage servicing rights was $58.5 million at March 31, 2015.
RECENT DEVELOPMENTS
On April 15, 2015, the agreement governing ACRE Capital’s BAML Line of Credit was amended to, among other things, temporarily increase the commitment size from $135.0 million to $185.0 million for the period April 15, 2015 to June 1, 2015.
Subsequent to the three months ended March 31, 2015, ACRE Capital rate-locked $75.3 million in Fannie Mae loan commitments and $56.4 million in Freddie Mac loan commitments.
On May 6, 2015, the Company originated a $39.0 million transitional first mortgage loan on a hotel located in New York. At closing, the outstanding principal balance was approximately $36.5 million. The loan has an interest rate of LIBOR + 4.75% (plus origination and exit fees) subject to a 0.18% LIBOR floor and an initial term of three years.
On May 7, 2015, the Company declared a cash dividend of $0.25 per common share for the second quarter of 2015. The second quarter 2015 dividend is payable on July 15, 2015 to common stockholders of record as of June 30, 2015.
INVESTMENT CAPACITY AND LIQUIDITY
As of May 6, 2015, the Company expects to have approximately $56 million in capital, either in cash or in approved but undrawn capacity under the Company’s financing facilities. After holding in reserve $10 million in liquidity requirements, the Company expects to have approximately $46 million in capital available to fund additional loans, outstanding commitments on the Company’s existing loans and for other working capital purposes. Assuming that the Company uses such amount as capital to make new investments and leverages such amount under its facilities at a debt-to-equity ratio in the range of 2:1 to 3:1, the Company has the capacity to fund $135 million to $180 million of additional senior loan investments.
As of May 6, 2015, the total unfunded commitments for the Company’s existing loans held for investment were approximately $135 million. In addition, borrowings under the Company’s financing facilities were approximately $550 million (excluding warehouse lines of credit in connection with the Company’s Mortgage Banking segment), debt issued in the form of commercial mortgage-backed securities was approximately $83 million, debt issued in the form of collateralized loan obligations was approximately $257 million and debt issued in the form of convertible senior notes was approximately $69 million.
STOCK BUYBACK PROGRAM
The Company’s Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $20.0 million of its outstanding common stock over a period of one year.
Purchases made pursuant to the program will be made in either the open market or in privately negotiated transactions from time to time as permitted by federal securities laws and other legal requirements. The timing, manner, price and amount of any repurchases will be determined by the Company in its discretion and will be subject to economic and market conditions, stock price, applicable legal requirements and other factors. The program may be suspended or discontinued at any time.
FIRST QUARTER 2015 DIVIDEND
On March 5, 2015, the Company declared a cash dividend of $0.25 per common share for the first quarter of 2015. The first quarter 2015 dividend was paid on April 15, 2015 to common stockholders of record as of March 31, 2015.

(1) Interest expense does not include interest expense related to the intercompany note between the two business segments presented, mortgage banking (conducted through ACRE Capital Holdings LLC) as borrower and principal lending (conducted through the Company) as lender. Additionally, servicing fees, net does not include servicing fee revenue related to the primary servicing of ACRE’s loans held for investment by ACRE Capital. The intercompany interest expense and servicing fee revenue are eliminated in the consolidated financial statements of the Company. If interest expense related to the intercompany note and intercompany servicing fee revenue were included in the consolidated financial statements, interest expense, servicing fees, net and net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2015 would have been $1.0 million, $4.0 million and $1.1 million, respectively, for mortgage banking.
