Ladder Capital’s fourth quarter was marked by a significant shortfall versus market expectations, with both revenue and non-GAAP profit coming in below consensus and the market responding with a meaningful share price decline. Management attributed this underperformance primarily to a combination of lower net interest income, driven by timing of loan fundings late in the quarter and continued paydowns from the loan book, as well as realized losses on a small number of office loans. CEO Brian Harris acknowledged that while loan payoff rates have slowed, the company did not fully benefit from new originations in the quarter, stating, "We did fund a lot of our loans at the end of December... we didn't really enjoy the net interest income from a lot of our new originations, but we will pick it up in the first quarter."
