Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
OVERVIEW (dollars in thousands, except share data)
We are a Maryland REIT. Our business strategy is focused on originating and investing in floating rate first mortgage loans that range from $15,000 to $75,000, secured by middle market transitional CRE properties that have values up to $100,000. We define transitional CRE as commercial properties subject to redevelopment or repositioning activities that are expected to increase the value of the properties. Our mortgage loans are classified as loans held for investment in our consolidated balance sheets.
Tremont is registered with the SEC as an investment adviser under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended. We believe that Tremont provides us with significant experience and expertise in investing in middle market transitional CRE.
We operate our business in a manner that is consistent with our qualification for taxation as a REIT under the IRC. As such, we generally are not subject to U.S. federal income tax, provided that we meet certain distribution and other requirements. We also operate our business in a manner that permits us to maintain our exemption from registration under the 1940 Act.
Factors Affecting Operating Results
Our results of operations are impacted by a number of factors and primarily depend on the interest income from our investments and the financing and other costs associated with our business. Our operating results are also impacted by general CRE market conditions and unanticipated defaults by our borrowers. For further information regarding the risks associated with our loan portfolio, see the risk factors identified in Part I, Item 1A, "Risk Factors", of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Credit Risk. We are subject to the credit risk of our borrowers in connection with our investments. We seek to mitigate this risk by utilizing a comprehensive underwriting, diligence and investment selection process and by ongoing monitoring of our investments. Nevertheless, unanticipated credit losses could occur that may adversely impact our operating results.

Changes in Fair Value of our Assets. We generally intend to hold our investments for their contractual terms, unless repaid earlier by the borrowers. We evaluate the credit quality of each of our loans at least quarterly. If a loan is determined to be collateral dependent (because the repayment of the loan is expected to be provided substantially through the operation or sale of the underlying collateral property) and the borrower is experiencing financial difficulties, but foreclosure is not probable, we may record an allowance for credit losses by comparing the collateral's fair value to the amortized cost basis of the loan. For collateral-dependent loans for which foreclosure is probable, the related allowance for credit losses is determined using the fair value of the collateral compared to the loan's amortized cost.
Availability of Leverage and Equity. We use leverage to make additional investments that may increase our returns. We may not be able to obtain the expected amount of leverage we desire or its cost may exceed our expectation and, consequently, the returns generated from our investments may be reduced. Our ability to further grow our loan portfolio over time will depend, to a significant degree, upon our ability to obtain additional capital. However, our access to additional capital depends on many factors including the price at which our common shares trade relative to their book value and market lending conditions. See "—Market Conditions" below.
Market Conditions. Earlier this year, U.S. trade and fiscal policy, coupled with ongoing geopolitical tensions, caused volatility in financial markets and uncertainty for CRE investors. As a result, transaction activity slowed as investors waited on the outcomes of negotiations with U.S. trade partners, new tariff announcements and domestic fiscal policy initiatives as well as the path of interest rates before making buy and sell decisions.
CRE transaction activity showed signs of recovery in the second half of 2025 as investors and lenders responded to three interest rate cuts by the FOMC in 2025. Additionally, a more stabilized monetary environment, improving property fundamentals and substantial liquidity in debt capital markets may give CRE investors and lenders renewed optimism and confidence in underwriting assumptions. The relative value of CRE debt investments today compared to alternative corporate or private debt investments continues to drive demand from lenders, including banks, securitized lenders, life insurance companies, private debt funds and mortgage REITs. This increased competition amongst lenders has led to a tightening of credit spreads and lower overall borrowing costs for CRE debt investors across all property sectors.
Barring potential risks associated with persistent inflation, increased geopolitical uncertainty that may negatively impact global economic conditions and a weakening labor market that could moderate economic growth, we believe the CRE sector is relatively well positioned, with expectations for increased transaction volume in 2026.
Changes in Interest Rates. With respect to our business operations, increases in interest rates, in general, may cause: (a) the coupon rates on our variable rate investments to reset, perhaps on a delayed basis, to higher rates; (b) it to become more difficult and costly for our borrowers, which may negatively impact their ability to repay our investments; and (c) the interest expense associated with our variable rate borrowings to increase. See "—Market Conditions" above for a discussion of the current market including interest rates.
Conversely, decreases in interest rates, in general, may cause: (a) the coupon rates on our variable rate investments to reset, perhaps on a delayed basis, to lower rates; (b) it to become easier and more affordable for our borrowers to refinance, and as a result, repay our loans, but may negatively impact our future returns if any such repayment proceeds were to be reinvested in lower yielding investments; and (c) the interest expense associated with our variable rate borrowings to decrease.
The interest income on our loans and interest expense on our borrowings float with benchmark rates, such as SOFR. Because we generally intend to leverage up to 80% of the amount of our investments, as benchmark rates increase above the floors of our loans, our income from investments, net of interest and related expenses, will increase. Decreases in benchmark rates are mitigated by interest rate floor provisions in all but one of our loan agreements with borrowers, ranging from 0.25% to 4.34% with a weighted average floor of 2.81%; therefore, changes to income from investments, net, may not move proportionately with the increase or decrease in benchmark rates. As of December 31, 2025, SOFR was 3.69%, and as a result, seven of our loan investments had an active interest rate floor.
Size of Portfolio. The size of our loan portfolio, as measured both by the aggregate principal balance and the number of our CRE loans and our other investments, is also an important factor in determining our operating results. Generally, if the size of our loan portfolio grows, the amount of interest income we receive would increase and we may achieve certain economies of scale and diversify risk within our loan portfolio. A larger portfolio, however, may result in increased expenses; for example, we may incur additional interest expense or other costs to finance our investments. Also, if the aggregate principal balance of our loan portfolio grows but the number of our loans or the number of our borrowers does not grow, we could face increased risk by reason of the concentration of our investments.

Table of Contents
Prepayment Risk. We are subject to risk that our loan investments will be repaid at an earlier date than anticipated, which may reduce the returns realized on those loans as less interest income may be received over time. Additionally, we may not be able to reinvest the principal repaid timely and/or at a similar or higher yield of the original loan investment. We seek to limit this risk by structuring our loan agreements with fees required to be paid to us upon prepayment of a loan within a specified period of time before the loan’s maturity; however, unanticipated prepayments could negatively impact our operating results.

Loan Portfolio Details
The table below details our loan portfolio as of December 31, 2025:
(1)All in yield represents the yield on a loan, including amortization of deferred fees over the initial term of the loan and excluding any purchase discount accretion.
(2)Maximum maturity assumes all borrower loan extension options have been exercised, which options are subject to the borrower meeting certain conditions.
(3)LTV represents the initial loan amount divided by the underwritten in-place value of the underlying collateral at closing.
(4)In January 2026, the maturity date of this loan was extended to March 31, 2026.
(5)These loans were acquired in November 2025.
As of December 31, 2025, we had $724,458 in aggregate loan commitments, consisting of a diverse portfolio, geographically and by property type, of 24 first mortgage loans. As of December 31, 2025, we had 4 loans representing approximately 17% of the amortized cost of our loan portfolio with a loan risk rating of “4” or “higher risk”. As of December 31, 2025, we had no loans with risk rating of “5” or “impaired/ loss likely”.
In April 2025, we amended the agreement governing our loan secured by an office property in Bellevue, WA. As part of this amendment, the borrower was required to contribute $1,625 to cash reserves, the coupon rate was reduced from SOFR + 3.85% to SOFR + 2.85% and the maturity date was extended by three years to April 7, 2028. As of December 31, 2025, this loan had an amortized cost of $20,245 and a risk rating of 4.
In May 2025, we amended the agreement governing our loan secured by an office property in Downers Grove, IL. As part of this amendment, the borrower repaid $3,000 of the outstanding principal balance and the maturity date was extended by one year to May 22, 2026. As of December 31, 2025, this loan had an amortized cost of $26,640 and a risk rating of 3.
All of the loans in our portfolio are structured with risk mitigation mechanisms, such as cash flow sweeps or interest reserves, to help protect us against investment losses. In addition, we actively engage with our borrowers regarding their execution of the business plans for the underlying collateral, among other things.

Table of Contents
As of December 31, 2025 and February 13, 2026, all of our borrowers with outstanding loans had paid their debt service obligations owed and due to us.
We did not have any outstanding past due loans or nonaccrual loans as of December 31, 2025. However, our borrowers' businesses, operations and liquidity may be materially adversely impacted by current inflationary pressures, interest rate fluctuations, supply chain issues or a prolonged economic slowdown or recession could amplify those negative impacts. As a result, they may become unable to pay their debt service obligations owed and due to us, which may result in an increased allowance for credit losses and/or recognition of income on a nonaccrual basis. Some of the factors that have impacted us and could continue to impact us are outlined in Part I, Item 1A, "Risk Factors" of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. For further information regarding our loan portfolio and risk rating policy, see Notes 2 and 3 to our Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part IV, Item 15 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Financing Activities
Our secured financing agreements at December 31, 2025 consisted of agreements that govern our Wells Fargo Master Repurchase Facility, our Citibank Master Repurchase Facility, our BMO Facility and our UBS Master Repurchase Facility.
In February 2026, we amended the Wells Fargo Master Repurchase Agreement and made certain changes to the agreement, including extending the stated maturity date to March 13, 2028 and increasing the maximum facility size by $125,000 to $250,000.
In February 2026, we amended our UBS Master Repurchase Agreement to extend the stated maturity date to February 18, 2028.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (amounts in thousands, except per share data)
Year Ended December 31, 2025 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2024:
Year Ended December 31,
INCOME FROM INVESTMENTS:
OTHER EXPENSES:
Net income per common share - basic and diluted $ 1.00 $ 1.20 $ (0.20) (16.7 %)
Interest and related income. The decrease in interest and related income was primarily the result of lower weighted average coupon rates, which was partially offset by interest rate floors for seven of our loans becoming active, lower interest income earned on cash invested due to decreased index rates and lower purchase discount accretion due to discounts becoming fully accreted during the year ended December 31, 2025. The weighted average coupon rate was 7.60% for the year ended December 31, 2025, inclusive of the seven active floors, compared to 8.77% for the year ended December 31, 2024.
Interest and related expenses. The decrease in interest and related expenses was primarily the result of lower weighted average coupon rates offset by higher outstanding principal balances under our Secured Financing Facilities during the year ended December 31, 2025. The weighted average coupon rate was 6.25% for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to 7.24% for the year ended December 31, 2024. The weighted average principal balance was approximately $425,000 for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to $411,000 for the year ended December 31, 2024.
Revenue from real estate owned. Revenue from real estate owned represents revenue from the operations of an office property located in Yardley, PA that was transferred to real estate owned through a deed in lieu of foreclosure in June 2023. The increase in revenue from real estate owned was primarily the result of higher operating expense reimbursements during the year ended December 31, 2025.
Base management and incentive fees. We recognize base management and incentive fees payable to Tremont in accordance with our management agreement. The increase in base management fees was due to higher “equity” as defined in our management agreement. The decrease in incentive fees was due to lower “core earnings”, as defined in our management agreement, during the year ended December 31, 2025 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2024.
64
Table of Contents
General and administrative expenses. The increase in general and administrative expenses was primarily due to an increase in share based and cash compensation awarded to our Trustees, each resulting from the increase in the size of our Board of Trustees, higher share based compensation for employees of RMR and Tremont and higher legal expenses during the year ended December 31, 2025 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2024.
Reimbursement of shared services expenses. Reimbursement of shared services expenses represents reimbursement of the costs for the services that Tremont arranges on our behalf from RMR. The decrease in reimbursement of shared services expenses was primarily the result of lower usage of shared services from RMR during the year ended December 31, 2025 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2024.
Provision for credit losses. The provision for credit losses represents the increase in the allowance for credit losses on our loan portfolio and unfunded commitments. The increase in the allowance for credit losses during the year ended December 31, 2025 was primarily attributable to increased provisions for our office loans and a larger loan portfolio as of December 31, 2025, offset by increasing values for CRE and favorable CRE pricing forecasts used in our CECL model and loans nearing maturity.
Expenses from real estate owned. Expenses from real estate owned represent expenses from the operations of an office property located in Yardley, PA that was transferred to real estate owned through a deed in lieu of foreclosure in June 2023. The decrease in expenses from real estate owned was primarily the result of lower amortization expense related to acquired real estate leases during the year ended December 31, 2025.
Income tax expense. Income tax expense for the year ended December 31, 2025 is a result of income taxes paid or payable by us in certain jurisdictions where we are subject to state income taxes.
Net income and net income per common share - basic and diluted. The decrease in net income was due to the changes noted above. Additionally, net income per common share - basic and diluted includes the effect of the issuance of 7,532,861 common shares through the Rights Offering.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We present Adjusted Book Value, Adjusted Book Value per common share, Distributable Earnings and Distributable Earnings per common share, which are considered “non-GAAP financial measures” within the meaning of the applicable SEC rules. These non-GAAP financial measures do not represent book value, book value per common share, net income, net income per common share or cash generated from operating activities and should not be considered as alternatives to book value, book value per common share, net income or net income per common share determined in accordance with GAAP or as an indication of our cash flows from operations determined in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, a measure of our capital adequacy, liquidity or operating performance or an indication of funds available for our cash needs. In addition, our methodologies for calculating these non-GAAP financial measures may differ from the methodologies employed by other companies to calculate the same or similar supplemental capital adequacy or performance measures; therefore, our reported Adjusted Book Value, Adjusted Book Value per common share, Distributable Earnings, and Distributable Earnings per common share may not be comparable to adjusted book value, adjusted book value per common share, distributable earnings and distributable earnings per common share as reported by other companies.
65
Table of Contents
Adjusted Book Value
We believe that Adjusted Book Value and Adjusted Book Value per common share is a meaningful measure of our capital adequacy because it excludes the impact of certain non-cash estimates or adjustments, including our allowance for credit losses for our loan portfolio and unfunded loan commitments. The table below calculates our book value, Adjusted Book Value and Adjusted Book Value per common share:
As of December 31,
Book value per common share $ 14.55 $ 18.07
Adjusted Book Value per common share $ 14.96 $ 18.67
(1)Amounts include our allowance for credit losses for our loan portfolio and our unfunded commitments. The allowance for credit losses for our unfunded commitments is included in accounts payable, accrued liabilities and other liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets.
Distributable Earnings
In order to maintain our qualification for taxation as a REIT, we are generally required to distribute substantially all of our taxable income, subject to certain adjustments, to our shareholders. We believe that one of the factors that investors consider important in deciding whether to buy or sell securities of a REIT is its distribution rate. Over time, Distributable Earnings and Distributable Earnings per common share may be useful indicators of distributions to our shareholders and are measures that are considered by our Board of Trustees when determining the amount of distributions. We believe that Distributable Earnings and Distributable Earnings per common share provide meaningful information to consider in addition to net income, net income per common share and cash flows from operating activities determined in accordance with GAAP. These measures help us to evaluate our performance excluding the effects of certain transactions and GAAP adjustments that we believe are not necessarily indicative of our current loan portfolio and operations. In addition, Distributable Earnings, excluding incentive fees, is used in determining the amount of base management and management incentive fees payable by us to Tremont under our management agreement.
We calculate Distributable Earnings and Distributable Earnings per common share as net income and net income per common share, respectively, computed in accordance with GAAP, including realized losses not otherwise included in net income determined in accordance with GAAP, and excluding: (a) depreciation and amortization of real estate owned and related intangible assets, if any; (b) non-cash equity compensation expense; (c) unrealized gains, losses and other similar non-cash items that are included in net income for the period of the calculation (regardless of whether such items are included in or deducted from net income or in other comprehensive income under GAAP), if any; and (d) one-time events pursuant to changes in GAAP and certain non-cash items, if any. Distributable Earnings are reduced for realized losses on loan investments when amounts are deemed uncollectable. This is generally at the time a loan is repaid, or in the case of foreclosure, when the underlying asset is sold, but may also be when, in our determination, it is nearly certain that all amounts due will not be collected. The realized loss amount reflected in Distributable Earnings will equal the difference between the cash received or expected to be received and the carrying value of the loan.

Reconciliation of Net Income to Distributable Earnings
The table below demonstrates our calculation of Distributable Earnings and Distributable Earnings per common share, which are non-GAAP measures, and provides a reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to net income:
Year Ended December 31,
Non-cash equity compensation expense 1,736 1,359
Non-cash accretion of purchase discount (37) (2,347)
Provision for credit losses 203 3,080
Depreciation and amortization of real estate owned 1,063 1,248
Exit fees collected on loans acquired in Merger — 124
Weighted average common shares outstanding - basic and diluted 15,240 14,712
Net income per common share - basic and diluted $ 1.00 $ 1.20
Distributable Earnings per common share - basic and diluted $ 1.21 $ 1.45
(1)Exit fees collected on loans acquired in the Merger represent fees collected upon repayment of loans for which no income has previously been recognized in Distributable Earnings. In accordance with GAAP, exit fees payable with respect to loans acquired in the Merger were accreted as a component of the purchase discount and were excluded from Distributable Earnings as a non-cash item. Accordingly, these exit fees have been recognized in Distributable Earnings upon collection.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES (dollars in thousands, except per share data)
Liquidity is a measure of our ability to meet potential cash requirements, including ongoing commitments to fund our lending commitments, repay or meet margin calls resulting from our borrowings, if any, fund and maintain our assets and operations, make distributions to our shareholders and fund other business operating requirements. Our sources of cash flows include cash on hand, payments of principal, interest and fees we receive on our investments, other cash we may generate from our business and operations, any unused borrowing capacity, including under our Secured Financing Facilities or other repurchase agreements or financing arrangements we may obtain, which may also include bank loans or public or private issuances of debt or equity securities and proceeds from any sale of real estate owned. We believe that these sources of funds will be sufficient to meet our operating and capital expenses, pay our debt service obligations owed and make any distributions to our shareholders for the next 12 months and for the foreseeable future. For further information regarding the risks associated with our loan portfolio, see Note 3 to our Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part IV, Item 15 and Part I, Item 1A, "Risk Factors" of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Pursuant to the terms of our Citibank Master Repurchase Facility, our UBS Master Repurchase Facility and our Wells Fargo Master Repurchase Facility, we may sell to, and later repurchase from, Citibank, UBS and Wells Fargo, the purchased assets related to the applicable facility. The initial purchase price paid by Citibank of each purchased asset is up to 75% of the lesser of the market value of the purchased asset or the unpaid principal balance of such purchased asset, subject to Citibank's approval. The initial purchase price paid by UBS of each purchased asset is up to 80% of the lesser of the market value of the purchased asset or the unpaid principal balance of such purchased asset, subject to UBS's approval. The initial purchase price paid by Wells Fargo for each purchased asset is up to 75% or 80%, depending on the property type of the purchased asset’s real estate collateral, of the lesser of the market value of the purchased asset or the unpaid principal balance of such purchased asset, and subject to Wells Fargo’s approval. Upon the repurchase of a purchased asset, we are required to pay Citibank, UBS or Wells Fargo, as applicable, the outstanding purchase price of the purchased asset, accrued interest and all accrued and unpaid expenses of Citibank, UBS or Wells Fargo, as applicable, relating to such purchased asset.
The interest rates related to our Citibank, UBS and Wells Fargo purchased assets are calculated at SOFR plus a premium within a fixed range, determined by the debt yield and property type of the purchased asset’s real estate collateral. Citibank has the discretion to make advancements at margins higher than 75%, and UBS and Wells Fargo each has the discretion to make advancements at margins higher than 80%.

Table of Contents
Loans issued under the BMO Facility are coterminous with the corresponding pledged mortgage loan investments, are not subject to margin calls and allow for up to an 80% advance rate, subject to certain loan to cost and LTV limits. Interest on advancements under the BMO Facility are calculated at SOFR plus a premium. Loans issued under the BMO Facility are secured by a security interest and collateral assignment of the underlying loans to our borrowers which are secured by real property underlying such loans. We are required to pay an upfront fee equal to a percentage of the aggregate amount of the facility loan, such percentage to be determined at the time of approval of the separate facility loan agreements with BMO, or the BMO Facility Loan Agreements.
For further information regarding our Secured Financing Facilities, see Note 5 to our Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part IV, Item 15 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K and "—Overview-Financing Activities" above.
The following is a summary of our sources and uses of cash flows for the period presented:
Year Ended December 31,
Cash and cash equivalents at beginning of period $ 70,750 $ 87,855
Net cash provided by (used in):
Cash and cash equivalents at end of period $ 123,471 $ 70,750
The decrease in cash provided by operating activities for 2025 compared to 2024 was primarily the result of lower net interest income earned on loan investments due to lower SOFR index rates. The change from cash provided by to cash used in investing activities was primarily due to increased loan originations and acquisitions, as well as lower loan repayments in 2025 compared to 2024. The change from cash used in to cash provided by financing activities was primarily due to proceeds received from the Rights Offering and increased borrowing under our Secured Financing Facilities in 2025 compared to net repayment activity under our Secured Financing Facilities in 2024.
Distributions
During the year ended December 31, 2025, we declared and paid regular quarterly distributions totaling $18,835, or $1.26 per common share, using cash on hand.
On January 15, 2026, we declared a regular quarterly distribution of $0.28 per common share, or $6,327, to shareholders of record on January 26, 2026. We expect to pay this distribution on February 19, 2026 using cash on hand.
For further information regarding distributions, see Note 7 to our Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part IV, Item 15 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Rights Offering
In November 2025, we commenced the Rights Offering, pursuant to which we issued transferable rights to our shareholders of record as of November 10, 2025. The record date shareholders received one transferable right for each outstanding common share they owned on the record date, which entitled them to purchase one new common share for every two rights held. The Rights Offering was fully backstopped by Tremont. In December 2025, we completed the Rights Offering, in which 7,532,861 common shares were issued at $8.65 per share, generating net proceeds of $61,530, after offering costs. For further information regarding the Rights Offering, see Note 9 to our Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part IV, Item 15 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Contractual Obligations and Commitments

Interest payments on Secured Financing Facilities (3) 12,733 12,208 525 — —
Lease related costs (4) 222 222 — — —
(1)The allocation of our unfunded loan commitments is based on the current loan maturity date to which the individual commitments relate.
(2)The allocation of outstanding advancements under our Secured Financing Facilities is based on the earlier of the current maturity date of each loan investment with respect to which the individual borrowing relates or the maturity date of the respective Secured Financing Facilities.
(3)Projected interest payments are attributable only to our debt service obligations at existing rates as of December 31, 2025 and are not intended to estimate future interest costs which may result from debt prepayments, additional borrowings, new debt issuances or changes in interest rates.
(4)Lease related costs include capital expenditures used to improve tenants' spaces pursuant to lease agreements or leasing related costs, such as brokerage commissions, related to real estate owned.
Debt Covenants
Our principal debt obligations as of December 31, 2025 were the outstanding balances under our Secured Financing Facilities. Our Master Repurchase Agreements provide for acceleration of the date of repurchase of any then purchased assets and the liquidation of the purchased assets by UBS, Citibank or Wells Fargo, as applicable, upon the occurrence and continuation of certain events of default, including a change of control of us, which includes Tremont ceasing to act as our sole manager or to be a wholly owned subsidiary of RMR. Our Master Repurchase Agreements also provide that upon the repurchase of any then purchased asset, we are required to pay UBS, Citibank or Wells Fargo the outstanding purchase price of such purchased asset and accrued interest and any and all accrued and unpaid expenses of UBS, Citibank or Wells Fargo, as applicable, relating to such purchased asset.
In connection with our Master Repurchase Agreements, we entered into our guarantees, or the Master Repurchase Guarantees, which require us to guarantee 25% of the aggregate repurchase price, and 100% of losses in the event of certain bad acts, as well as any costs and expenses of UBS, Citibank and Wells Fargo, as applicable, related to our Master Repurchase Agreements. The Master Repurchase Guarantees contain financial covenants, which require us to maintain a minimum tangible net worth, a minimum liquidity and a minimum interest coverage ratio and to satisfy a total indebtedness to stockholders' equity ratio.
In connection with the BMO Loan Program Agreement, we have agreed to guarantee certain of the obligations under the BMO Loan Program Agreement and the BMO Facility Loan Agreements pursuant to a limited guaranty from us to and for the benefit of the administrative agent for itself and such other lenders, or the BMO Guaranty. Specifically, the BMO Guaranty requires us to guarantee 25% of the then current outstanding principal balance of the facility loans and 100% of losses or the entire indebtedness in the event of certain bad acts as well as any costs and expenses of the administrative agent or lenders related to the BMO Loan Program Agreement. In addition, the BMO Guaranty contains financial covenants that require us to maintain a minimum tangible net worth and a minimum liquidity and to satisfy a total indebtedness to stockholders’ equity ratio. Our BMO Loan Program Agreement provides for acceleration of all payment obligations due under the BMO Facility Loan Agreements upon the occurrence and continuation of certain events of default, including a change of control of us, which includes Tremont ceasing to act as our sole manager or to be a wholly owned subsidiary of RMR.

As of December 31, 2025, we had a $423,643 aggregate outstanding principal balance under our Master Repurchase Facilities. Our Master Repurchase Agreements are structured with risk mitigation mechanisms, including a cash flow sweep, which would allow UBS, Citibank and Wells Fargo, as applicable, to control interest payments from our borrowers under our loans that are financed under our respective Master Repurchase Facilities, and the ability to accelerate dates of repurchase and institute margin calls, which may require us to pay down balances associated with one or more of our loans that are financed under our Master Repurchase Facilities.
As of December 31, 2025, we had a $64,632 aggregate outstanding principal balance under the BMO Facility.
As of December 31, 2025, we were in compliance with all covenants and other terms under our Secured Financing Facilities.
Related Person Transactions
We have relationships and historical and continuing transactions with Tremont, RMR, RMR Inc. and others related to them. For further information about these and other such relationships and related person transactions, see Notes 8 and 9 to our Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part IV, Item 15 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K and our other filings with the SEC, which are incorporated herein by reference, including our definitive Proxy Statement for our 2026 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, or our 2026 Proxy Statement, to be filed with the SEC within 120 days after the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025. For further information about the risks that may arise as a result of these and other related person transactions and relationships, see elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, including “Warning Concerning Forward-Looking Statements,” Part I, Item 1, “Business” and Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors.” We may engage in additional transactions with related persons, including businesses to which RMR or its subsidiaries provide management services.
Critical Accounting Estimates
Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP, which requires the use of estimates and assumptions that involve the exercise of judgment regarding future events and other uncertainties. In accordance with SEC guidance, the following discussion addresses the accounting policies that apply to our operations. Our most critical accounting policies involve decisions and assessments that could affect our reported assets and liabilities, as well as our reported revenues and expenses. We believe that our decisions and assessments upon which our consolidated financial statements are based are reasonable, based upon information available to us. Our critical accounting policies and accounting estimates may be changed over time as our strategies change or as we expand our business. Those accounting policies and estimates that are most critical to an investor’s understanding of our financial results and condition and require complex management judgment are discussed below.
Revenue Recognition. Interest income related to our CRE mortgage loans is generally accrued based on the coupon rates applied to the outstanding principal balance of such loans. Fees, premiums and discounts, if any, are amortized or accreted into interest income over the remaining lives of the loans using the effective interest method, as adjusted for any prepayments.
If a loan’s interest or principal payments are not paid when due and there is uncertainty that such payments will be collected, the loan may be categorized as non-accrual and no interest will be recorded until it is collected. When all overdue payments are collected and, in our judgment, a loan is likely to remain current, it may be re-categorized as accrual.
For loans purchased at a discount, GAAP limits the yield that may be accreted (accretable yield) to the excess of the investor’s estimate of undiscounted expected principal, interest and other cash flows (cash flows expected at acquisition to be collected) over the investor’s initial investment in the loan. GAAP also requires that the excess of contractual cash flows over cash flows expected to be collected (non-accretable difference) not be recognized as an adjustment of yield, loss accrual or valuation allowance. Subsequent increases in cash flows expected to be collected from such loans generally will be recognized prospectively through adjustment of the loan’s yield over its remaining life. Decreases in cash flows expected to be collected will be recorded through our provision for credit losses.
Loans Held For Investment. Generally, our loans are classified as held for investment based upon our intent and ability to hold them until maturity. Loans that are held for investment are carried at cost, net of unamortized loan origination fees, accreted exit fees, unamortized premiums and unaccreted discounts, as applicable, that are required to be recognized in the carrying value of the loans in accordance with GAAP, unless the loans are deemed to be collateral dependent. Loans that we have a plan to sell or liquidate are held at the lower of cost or fair value less cost to sell.
Allowance for Credit Losses. We recognize the allowance for credit losses under the current expected credit loss, or CECL, model. The CECL measurement is based upon historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable
70
Table of Contents
forecasts incorporating forward-looking information that affect the collectability of the reported amount. The CECL model is applicable to financial assets measured at amortized cost and off-balance sheet credit exposures, such as unfunded loan commitments.
The allowance for credit losses is a valuation account that is deducted from the related loans’ amortized cost basis in our consolidated balance sheets. Our loans typically include commitments to fund incremental proceeds to borrowers over the life of the loan. The allowance for credit losses related to unfunded loan commitments is included in accounts payable, accrued liabilities and other liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets.
Given the lack of historical loss data related to our loan portfolio, we estimate our expected losses using an analytical model that considers the likelihood of default and loss given default for each individual loan. This analytical model incorporates data from a third party database with historical loan loss information for commercial mortgage-backed securities, or CMBS, and CRE loans since 1998. Significant inputs to the model include certain loan specific data, such as LTV, property type, geographic location, occupancy, vintage year, remaining loan term, net operating income, expected timing and amounts of future loan fundings, and macroeconomic forecast assumptions, including the performance of CRE assets, unemployment rates, interest rates and other factors. We utilize the model to estimate credit losses over a reasonable and supportable economic forecast period of 12 months, followed by a straight-line reversion period of 12 months to average historical losses. Average historical losses are established using a population of third party historical loss data that approximates our portfolio as of the measurement date. We evaluate the estimated allowance for each of our loans individually and we consider our internal loan risk rating as the primary credit quality indicator underlying our assessment.
We have elected to exclude accrued interest receivable from amortized cost and not to measure an allowance for credit losses on accrued interest receivable. Accrued interest receivables are generally written off when payments are 120 days past due. Such amounts are reversed against interest income and no further interest will be recorded until it is collected.
If a loan is determined to be collateral dependent (because the repayment of the loan is expected to be provided substantially through the operation or sale of the underlying collateral property) and the borrower is experiencing financial difficulties, but foreclosure is not probable, we may elect to apply a practical expedient to determine the loan's allowance for credit losses by comparing the collateral's fair value to the amortized cost basis of the loan. For collateral-dependent loans for which foreclosure is probable, the related allowance for credit losses is determined using the fair value, less costs to sell, if applicable, of the collateral compared to the loan's amortized cost.
Significant judgments are required in our estimation of our allowance for credit losses, including but not limited to the amount and timing of future fundings, repayments and macroeconomic forecast assumptions. Therefore, actual results over time could differ materially from our estimates.
We evaluate the credit quality of each of our loans at least quarterly by assessing a variety of risk factors in relation to each loan and assigning a risk rating to each loan based on those factors. Factors considered in these evaluations include, but are not limited to, property type, geographic and local market dynamics, physical condition, leasing and tenant profile, projected cash flow, risk of loss, current LTV, debt yield, collateral performance, structure, exit plan and sponsorship. We apply the different factors on a case-by-case basis depending on the facts and circumstances for each loan, and the different factors may be given different weightings in different situations. Loans are rated “1” (less risk) through “5” (greater risk) as defined below:
“1” lower risk—Criteria reflects a sponsor having a strong financial condition and low credit risk and our evaluation of management's experience; collateral performance exceeding performance metrics included in the business plan or credit underwriting; and the property demonstrating stabilized occupancy and/or market rates, resulting in strong current cash flow and net operating income and/or having a very low LTV.
“2” average risk—Criteria reflects a sponsor having a stable financial condition and our evaluation of management's experience; collateral performance meeting or exceeding substantially all performance metrics included in the business plan or credit underwriting; and the property demonstrating improved occupancy at market rents, resulting in sufficient current cash flow and/or having a low LTV.
“3” acceptable risk—Criteria reflects a sponsor having a history of repaying loans at maturity and meeting its credit obligations and our evaluation of management's experience; collateral performance expected to meet performance metrics included in the business plan or credit underwriting; and the property having a moderate LTV. New loans and loans with a limited history will typically be assigned this rating and will be adjusted to other levels from time to time as appropriate.
“4” higher risk—Criteria reflects a sponsor having a history of unresolved missed or late payments, maturity extensions and difficulty timely fulfilling its credit obligations and our evaluation of management's experience; collateral performance
71
Table of Contents
failing to meet the business plan or credit underwriting; the existence of a risk of default possibly leading to a loss and/or potential weaknesses that deserve management’s attention; and/or the property having a high LTV.
“5” loss likely—Criteria reflects a very high risk of realizing a principal loss or having incurred a principal loss; a sponsor having a history of default payments, trouble fulfilling its credit obligations, deeds in lieu of foreclosures, and/or bankruptcies; collateral performance is significantly worse than performance metrics included in the business plan; loan covenants or performance milestones having been breached or not attained; timely exit via sale or refinancing being uncertain; and/or the property having a very high LTV.
Real Estate Owned. Upon acquisition, real estate owned is recognized at the fair value of the property at the time of acquisition. We allocate the purchase price to land, building and improvements and intangibles based on determinations of the relative fair values of these assets assuming the properties are vacant. The fair value of the property and the allocation of the purchase price are based on our estimates, which are informed by standard industry valuation methods, including discounted cash flow analyses and sales comparisons.
We regularly evaluate real estate owned for indicators of impairment. Impairment indicators may include declining tenant occupancy, lack of progress leasing vacant space, tenant bankruptcies, low long term prospects for improvement in property performance, weak or declining tenant profitability, cash flow or liquidity, our decision to dispose of an asset before the end of its estimated useful life and legislative, market or industry changes that could permanently reduce the value of a property. If indicators of impairment are present, we evaluate the carrying value of the related property by comparing it to the expected future undiscounted cash flows to be generated from that property. If the sum of these expected future cash flows is less than the carrying value, we reduce the net carrying value of the property to its fair value. This analysis requires us to judge whether indicators of impairment exist and to estimate likely future cash flows. The future net undiscounted cash flows are subjective and are based in part on assumptions regarding hold periods, market rents and terminal capitalization rates. If we misjudge or estimate incorrectly or if future tenant operations, market or industry factors differ from our expectations we may record an impairment charge that is inappropriate or fail to record a charge when we should have done so, or the amount of any such charges may be inaccurate.
These accounting policies involve significant judgments made based upon our experience and the experience of our management and our Board of Trustees, including judgments about current valuations, ultimate realizable value, estimated useful lives, salvage or residual value, the ability and willingness of our tenants to perform their obligations to us, current and future economic conditions and competitive factors in the markets in which our properties are located. Competition, economic conditions and other factors may cause occupancy declines in the future. In the future, we may need to revise our carrying value assessments to incorporate information which is not now known, and such revisions could decrease the carrying values of our assets.

Management Report on Assessment of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
We are responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Our internal control system is designed to provide reasonable assurance to our management and Board of Trustees regarding the preparation and fair presentation of published financial statements.

Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation.
Our management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025. In making this assessment, it used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 Framework) in Internal Control - Integrated Framework. Based on our assessment, we believe that, as of December 31, 2025, our internal control over financial reporting is effective.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Trustees and Shareholders of Seven Hills Realty Trust
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Seven Hills Realty Trust and subsidiaries (the "Company") as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the related consolidated statements of operations, shareholders' equity, and cash flows, for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2025, and the related notes and the schedule listed in the Index at Item 15 (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2025, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Critical Audit Matter
The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current-period audit of the financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.
Allowance for credit losses – Refer to Notes 2 and 3 to the financial statements
The allowance for credit losses for loans held for investment is a management estimate that is developed using an analytical model. The allowance is estimated at the individual loan level and utilizes significant inputs in the analytical model that includes loan specific data, as well as macroeconomic forecast assumptions.
Macroeconomic forecast assumptions include the performance of commercial real estate assets, unemployment rates, interest rates and other factors. We have identified the macroeconomic factors within the CECL allowance estimate as a critical audit matter because of the subjectivity, complexity and estimate uncertainty in determining the impact of the factors on the Company’s allowance for credit losses.
How the Critical Audit Matter Was Addressed in the Audit
Our audit procedures to assess the macroeconomic factors applied by management to determine the allowance for credit losses included, among others:
F-1
Table of Contents
•We tested the design and implementation of controls over management’s review of the allowance for credit losses, including management’s judgements involved in determination of the macroeconomic factors applied to determine the allowance for credit losses.
•We evaluated the reasonableness of the methodology and macroeconomic assumptions used by management to develop the allowance for credit losses.
•We tested the accuracy and completeness of quantitative data used by management to develop the adjustments to account for current and future economic conditions.
•We utilized credit specialists to assist in the evaluation of management’s allowance for credit losses methodology and assumptions, including the macroeconomic assumptions.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(dollars in thousands, except per share data)
Note 1. Organization
Seven Hills Realty Trust is a Maryland real estate investment trust, or REIT, that focuses primarily on originating and investing in first mortgage loans secured by middle market transitional commercial real estate, or CRE.
Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation. These consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, which requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts.Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates in the accompanying consolidated financial statements include our allowance for credit losses and the fair value of financial instruments.
Consolidation. These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of ours and our subsidiaries, all of which are 100% owned directly by us. All intercompany transactions and balances with or among our consolidated subsidiaries have been eliminated.
For each loan investment we make, we evaluate whether we have a controlling financial interest and consolidation of the borrower's financial statements is required under GAAP.
Cash and Cash Equivalents. We consider highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents.
Secured Financing Agreements. Loans financed through our Secured Financing Agreements (as defined in Note 5) are treated as collateralized financing transactions, unless they meet sales treatment under GAAP. Pursuant to GAAP treatment of collateralized financing transactions, loans financed through our Secured Financing Agreements remain on our consolidated balance sheets as assets and cash received from the purchasers is recorded on our consolidated balance sheets as liabilities. Interest paid in accordance with our Secured Financing Agreements is recorded as interest expense.
Loans Held for Investment. Generally, our loans are classified as held for investment based upon our intent and ability to hold them until maturity. Loans that are held for investment are carried at cost, net of unamortized loan origination fees, accreted exit fees, unamortized premiums and unaccreted discounts, as applicable, that are required to be recognized in the carrying value of the loans in accordance with GAAP, unless the loans are determined to be collateral dependent. Loans that we have a plan to sell or liquidate are held at the lower of cost or fair value less cost to sell.
Allowance for Credit Losses. We recognize the allowance for credit losses under the current expected credit loss, or CECL, model. The CECL measurement is based upon historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts incorporating forward-looking information that affect the collectability of the reported amount. The CECL model is applicable to financial assets measured at amortized cost and off-balance sheet credit exposures, such as unfunded loan commitments.
The allowance for credit losses is a valuation account that is deducted from the related loans’ amortized cost basis in our consolidated balance sheets. Our loans typically include commitments to fund incremental proceeds to borrowers over the life of the loan. The allowance for credit losses related to unfunded loan commitments is included in accounts payable, accrued liabilities and other liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets.
Given the lack of historical loss data related to our loan portfolio, we estimate our expected losses using an analytical model that considers the likelihood of default and loss given default for each individual loan. This analytical model incorporates data from a third party database with historical loan loss information for commercial mortgage-backed securities, or CMBS, and CRE loans since 1998. We estimate the allowance for credit losses for our portfolio, including unfunded loan commitments, at the individual loan level. Significant inputs to the model include certain loan specific data, such as loan to value, or LTV, property type, geographic location, occupancy, vintage year, remaining loan term, net operating income, expected timing and amounts of future loan fundings and macroeconomic forecast assumptions, including the performance of CRE assets, unemployment rates, interest rates and other factors. We utilize the model to estimate credit losses over a reasonable and supportable economic forecast period of 12 months, followed by a straight-line reversion period of 12 months to average historical losses. Average historical losses are established using a population of third party historical loss data that approximates our portfolio as of the measurement date. We evaluate the estimated allowance for each of our loans individually and we consider our internal loan risk rating as the primary credit quality indicator underlying our assessment.

Factors considered in these evaluations include, but are not limited to, property type, geographic and local market dynamics, physical condition, leasing and tenant profile, projected cash flow, risk of loss, current LTV, debt yield, collateral performance, structure, exit plan and sponsorship. Loans are rated “1” (less risk) through “5” (greater risk) as defined below:
“1” lower risk—Criteria reflects a sponsor having a strong financial condition and low credit risk and our evaluation of management's experience; collateral performance exceeding performance metrics included in the business plan or credit underwriting; and the property demonstrating stabilized occupancy and/or market rates, resulting in strong current cash flow and net operating income and/or having a very low LTV.
“2” average risk—Criteria reflects a sponsor having a stable financial condition and our evaluation of management's experience; collateral performance meeting or exceeding substantially all performance metrics included in the business plan or credit underwriting; and the property demonstrating improved occupancy at market rents, resulting in sufficient current cash flow and/or having a low LTV.
“3” acceptable risk—Criteria reflects a sponsor having a history of repaying loans at maturity and meeting its credit obligations and our evaluation of management's experience; collateral performance expected to meet performance metrics included in the business plan or credit underwriting; and the property having a moderate LTV. New loans and loans with a limited history will typically be assigned this rating and will be adjusted to other levels from time to time as appropriate.
“4” higher risk—Criteria reflects a sponsor having a history of unresolved missed or late payments, maturity extensions and difficulty timely fulfilling its credit obligations and our evaluation of management's experience; collateral performance failing to meet the business plan or credit underwriting; the existence of a risk of default possibly leading to a loss and/or potential weaknesses that deserve management’s attention; and/or the property having a high LTV.
“5” loss likely—Criteria reflects a very high risk of realizing a principal loss or having incurred a principal loss; a sponsor having a history of default payments, trouble fulfilling its credit obligations, deeds in lieu of foreclosures, and/or bankruptcies; collateral performance is significantly worse than performance metrics included in the business plan; loan covenants or performance milestones having been breached or not attained; timely exit via sale or refinancing being uncertain; and/or the property having a very high LTV.
See Note 3 for further information regarding our allowance for credit losses and our loan portfolio’s assessment under our internal risk rating policy.
Real Estate Owned. Real estate owned is property acquired in full or partial settlement of loan obligations generally through foreclosure or by deed in lieu of foreclosure. Upon acquisition, we allocate the fair value of the real estate owned in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification, or ASC, 805, Business Combinations.
Upon acquisition, real estate owned is recognized at the fair value of the property at the time of acquisition. We allocate the purchase price to land, building and improvements, and acquired in place leases based on determinations of the relative fair values of these assets assuming the properties are vacant. The fair value of the property is determined using Level III inputs and standard industry valuation methods, including discounted cash flow analyses that are based on a number of factors, including capitalization rates and discount rates, among others, and sales comparisons. If the amortized cost of the loan exceeds the fair value of the property the difference is recorded through the allowance for credit losses as a write off. Conversely, if the fair value of the property exceeds the amortized cost of the loan, the difference is recorded through the allowance for credit losses
F-8

(dollars in thousands, except per share data)
as a recovery, with any excess recorded as a gain. Any related shortfall or excess of previously established allowances for credit losses is recognized in the consolidated statements of operations as a provision for or reversal of credit losses, respectively.
Subsequent to acquisition, costs incurred related to improvements to the property are capitalized and depreciated over their estimated useful lives and costs related to the operation of the property are expensed as incurred. We recognize depreciation on a straight line basis over estimated useful lives generally ranging from 7 to 40 years.
We allocate a portion of the purchase price to acquired in place leases and tenant relationships based upon market estimates to lease up the property based on the leases in place at the time of acquisition. We allocate this aggregate value between acquired in place lease values and tenant relationships based on our evaluation of the specific characteristics of each tenant’s lease. We amortize the value of acquired in place leases (included in acquired real estate leases, net in our consolidated balance sheets) over the terms of the associated leases. Such amortization is included in expenses from real estate owned in our consolidated statements of operations.
We regularly evaluate real estate owned for indicators of impairment. Impairment indicators may include declining tenant occupancy, lack of progress leasing vacant space, tenant bankruptcies, low long term prospects for improvement in property performance, weak or declining tenant profitability, cash flow or liquidity, our decision to dispose of an asset before the end of its estimated useful life and legislative, market or industry changes that could permanently reduce the value of a property. If there is an indication that the carrying value of an asset is not recoverable, we estimate the projected undiscounted cash flows to determine if an impairment loss should be recognized. The future net undiscounted cash flows are subjective and are based in part on assumptions regarding hold periods, market rents and terminal capitalization rates. We determine the amount of any impairment loss by comparing the carrying value to estimated fair value. We estimate fair value through an evaluation of recent financial performance and projected discounted cash flows using standard industry valuation methods.
See Note 4 for further information regarding our real estate owned.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments. We determine the estimated fair value of financial assets and liabilities using the three-tier fair value hierarchy established by GAAP, which prioritizes observable inputs in active markets when measuring fair value. The three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value in order of priority are as follows:
Level I—Inputs include quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that we have the ability to access.
Level II—Inputs include quoted prices in markets that are less active or inactive or for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly.
Level III—Inputs include unobservable prices and are supported by little or no market activity and are significant to the overall fair value measurement.
Loan Deferred Fees. Loan origination and exit fees are fees charged to our borrowers and unamortized or unaccreted balances are reflected as a reduction in loans held for investment, net, in our consolidated balance sheets. These fees are recognized in interest income over the life of the related loans held for investment.
Deferred Financing Costs. Costs incurred in connection with financings are capitalized and recorded as a reduction to the related liability in our consolidated balance sheets. Deferred financing costs are amortized over the term of the respective financing agreement and are recorded in our consolidated statements of operations as a component of interest and related expenses.
Net Income Per Common Share. We calculate net income per common share - basic using the two class method. We calculate net income per common share - diluted using the more dilutive of the two class or treasury stock method.
Revenue Recognition. Interest income related to our first mortgage loans secured by CRE will generally be accrued based on the coupon rates applied to the outstanding principal balance of such loans. Fees, premiums and discounts, if any, will be amortized or accreted into interest income over the remaining lives of the loans using the effective interest method, as adjusted for any prepayments.
If a loan's interest or principal payments are not paid when due and there is uncertainty that such payments will be collected, the loan may be categorized as non-accrual and no interest will be recorded until it is collected. When all overdue

payments are collected and, in our judgment, a loan is likely to remain current, it may be re-categorized as accrual. We did not have any non-accrual loans as of December 31, 2025 and 2024.
For loans purchased at a discount, GAAP limits the yield that may be accreted (accretable yield) to the excess of the investor’s estimate of undiscounted expected principal, interest and other cash flows (cash flows expected at acquisition to be collected) over the investor’s initial investment in the loan. GAAP also requires that the excess of contractual cash flows over cash flows expected to be collected (non-accretable difference) not be recognized as an adjustment of yield, loss accrual or valuation allowance. Subsequent increases in cash flows expected to be collected from such loans generally will be recognized prospectively through adjustment of the loan’s yield over its remaining life. Decreases in cash flows expected to be collected will be recorded through our provision for credit losses.
Revenue from real estate owned represents rental income from operating leases with tenants and is recognized on a straight line basis over the lease term.
Segments. We operate in one business segment: originating and investing in floating rate first mortgage loans secured by CRE properties. See Note 13 for more information.
New Accounting Pronouncements. In November 2024, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, issued Accounting Standards Update, or ASU, No. 2024-03, Income Statement (Topic 220): Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures, or ASU No. 2024-03, which requires public entities to provide disaggregated disclosure of certain income statement expense captions within the footnotes to the financial statements. ASU No. 2024-03 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027. We are currently evaluating the impact ASU No. 2024-03 will have on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures.
In November 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-08, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Purchased Loans, or ASU No. 2025-08, which amends the guidance under ASC 326 on the accounting for certain purchased financial assets subject to the CECL model. Specifically, ASU No. 2025-08 requires entities to account for loans that meet certain criteria at acquisition (purchased seasoned loans) by recognizing them at their purchase price plus an allowance for expected credit losses. ASU No. 2025-08 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, including interim periods, with early adoption permitted. We have not early adopted ASU No. 2025-08 and do not expect the adoption of ASU No. 2025-08 to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

The table below presents the changes to the allowance for credit losses during the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2025:
Loans Held for Investment, net Unfunded Loan Commitments Total
Provision for (reversal of) credit losses 3,698 (618) 3,080
Provision for (reversal of) credit losses 725 (522) 203
The increase in the allowance for credit losses during the year ended December 31, 2025 was primarily attributable to increased provisions for our office loans and a larger loan portfolio as of December 31, 2025, offset by increasing values for CRE and favorable CRE pricing forecasts used in our CECL model and loans nearing maturity. The increase in the allowance for credit losses during the year ended December 31, 2024 was primarily attributable to declining values for CRE and increased provisions for our office loans, as compared to the allowance for credit losses as of December 31, 2023.
We may enter into loan modifications that include among other changes, extensions of maturity dates, repurposing or required replenishment of reserves, increases or decreases in loan commitments and required pay downs of principal amounts outstanding. Loan modifications are evaluated to determine whether a modification results in a new loan or a continuation of an existing loan under ASC 310.
In April 2025, we amended the agreement governing our loan secured by an office property in Bellevue, WA. As part of this amendment, the borrower was required to contribute $1,625 to cash reserves, the coupon rate was reduced from SOFR + 3.85% to SOFR + 2.85% and the maturity date was extended by three years to April 7, 2028. As of December 31, 2025, this loan had an amortized cost of $20,245 and a risk rating of 4.
In May 2025, we amended the agreement governing our loan secured by an office property in Downers Grove, IL. As part of this amendment, the borrower repaid $3,000 of the outstanding principal balance and the maturity date was extended by one year to May 22, 2026. As of December 31, 2025, this loan had an amortized cost of $26,640 and a risk rating of 3.
There were no other modifications to our loan portfolio for borrowers experiencing financial difficulties during the year ended December 31, 2025.
We did not have any outstanding past due loans or nonaccrual loans as of December 31, 2025 or 2024. As of December 31, 2025 and February 13, 2026, our borrowers with outstanding loans had paid their debt service obligations owed and due to us.

Note 5. Secured Financing Agreements
As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, we had secured financing facilities governed by master repurchase agreements with Wells Fargo, National Association, or Wells Fargo, Citibank N.A., or Citibank, and UBS AG, or UBS; and a facility loan program with BMO Harris Bank N.A, or BMO. We refer to the Wells Fargo, Citibank and UBS facilities as our Master Repurchase Facilities and the BMO facility as our BMO Facility. Collectively, we refer to our Master Repurchase Facilities and the BMO Facility as our Secured Financing Facilities.
Pursuant to our Master Repurchase Facilities, we may sell to, and later repurchase from the respective lender, the purchased assets related to the applicable facility. The initial purchase price paid under our Master Repurchase Facilities is generally between 75% and 80% of the market value or the unpaid principal balance of such purchased asset. Our Master Repurchase Facilities each contain margin maintenance provisions that provide our lenders with the right, in certain circumstances related to a credit event, to redetermine the value of purchased assets. Where a decline in the value of a purchased asset results in a margin deficit, we may be required to eliminate such a deficit through a combination of purchased asset repurchases and cash transfers.
Pursuant to our BMO Facility, BMO advances amounts to fund new mortgage loan originations and/or fund future obligations under existing loans. Advances under the BMO Facility are secured by a security interest and collateral assignment of the underlying loan, are coterminous with the pledged mortgage loans, generally up to an 80% advance rate and are not subject to margin calls.
In connection with each of our Secured Financing Facilities, we entered into guarantees that require us to guarantee 25% of the aggregate purchase price of the asset and also contain financial covenants, which require us to maintain a minimum tangible net worth, a minimum liquidity and a minimum interest coverage ratio and to satisfy a total indebtedness to stockholders’ equity ratio. Interest expense under our Secured Financing Facilities accrues at a rate of SOFR plus a premium.
In February 2026, we amended the Wells Fargo Master Repurchase Agreement and made certain changes to the agreement, including extending the stated maturity date to March 13, 2028 and increasing the maximum facility size by $125,000 to $250,000.
In February 2026, we amended our UBS Master Repurchase Agreement to extend the stated maturity date to February 18, 2028.
As of December 31, 2025, we were in compliance with the covenants and other terms of the agreements that govern our Secured Financing Facilities.

The weighted average remaining maturity of the BMO Facility is determined using the underlying loan investment maturity date.
(3)In February 2026, we extended the stated maturity date to February 18, 2028.
(4)In February 2026, we extended the stated maturity date to March 13, 2028 and increased the maximum facility size by $125,000 to $250,000.
As of December 31, 2025, our outstanding borrowings under our Secured Financing Facilities had the following remaining maturities:

2028 and thereafter —
Based upon the performance and payment history of our commercial mortgage loans, along with our ability to obtain financing under repurchase agreements and success in extending certain of our existing Master Repurchase Agreements, we believe it is probable that we will extend our Master Repurchase Facilities prior to their maturities.
Note 6. Fair Value Measurements
The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate their fair values due to the short term nature of these financial instruments.
We estimate the fair values of our loans held for investment and outstanding principal balances under our Secured Financing Facilities by using Level III inputs, including discounted cash flow analyses and currently prevailing market terms as of the measurement date.

The Rights Offering was fully backstopped by Tremont. In December 2025, we completed the Rights Offering, in which 7,532,861 common shares were issued at $8.65 per share, generating net proceeds of $61,530, after offering costs. See Note 9 for further information regarding the Rights Offering.
Common Share Awards
We have common shares available for issuance under the terms of our Amended and Restated 2021 Equity Compensation Plan, or the 2021 Plan. During the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, we awarded to our officers and certain other employees of Tremont and RMR annual share awards of 150,158 and 91,118 of our common shares, respectively, valued at $1,653 and $1,236, in aggregate, respectively. In accordance with our Trustee compensation arrangements, during the year ended December 31, 2025, we awarded each of our Trustees 5,977 of our common shares as part of their annual compensation and awarded an additional 4,709 of our common shares to one of our Trustees in connection with the election to our Board of Trustees. The aggregate value of our common shares awarded to our Trustees during the year ended December 31, 2025 was $550. During the year ended 2024, we awarded each of our then Trustees 4,735 of our common shares, valued at $360, as part of their annual compensation. The values of the share awards are based upon the closing price of our common shares on The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC, or Nasdaq, on the dates of awards. The common shares that we award to our Trustees as trustee compensation vest immediately. The common shares we award to our officers and certain other employees of Tremont and RMR vest in five equal annual installments beginning on the date of award. We recognize any share forfeitures as they occur. We include the value of awarded shares in general and administrative expenses ratably over the vesting period.
A summary of shares granted, forfeited, vested and unvested under the terms of the 2021 Plan for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 is as follows:

Note 8. Management Agreement with Tremont
We have no employees. The personnel and various services we require to operate our business are provided to us, pursuant to a management agreement with Tremont, which provides for the day to day management of our operations by Tremont, subject to the oversight and direction of our Board of Trustees.
Our management agreement with Tremont provides for an annual base management fee and an incentive fee, payable in cash, among other terms:
•Base Management Fee. We are required to pay Tremont the annual base management fee equal to 1.5% of our “Equity”, payable in cash quarterly (0.375% per quarter) in arrears. Under our management agreement, “Equity” means (a) the sum of (i) our net asset value as of January 5, 2021, plus (ii) the net proceeds received by us from any future sale or issuance of shares of beneficial interest, plus (iii) our cumulative “Core Earnings,” as defined below, for the period commencing on January 5, 2021 to the end of the applicable most recent completed calendar quarter, less (b) (i) any distributions previously paid to holders of our common shares, (ii) any incentive fee previously paid to Tremont and (iii) any amount that we may have paid to repurchase our common shares. All items in the foregoing sentence (other than clause (a)(iii)) are calculated on a daily weighted average basis. As a result of our merger with Tremont Mortgage Trust, or TRMT, in 2021, or the Merger, as of September 30, 2021, the net book value of TRMT was included as “Equity” under the management agreement.
•Incentive Fee. We are required to pay Tremont quarterly an incentive fee in arrears in cash equal to the difference between:
•The product of (i) 20% and (ii) the difference between (A) our Core Earnings for the most recent 12 month period (or such lesser number of completed calendar quarters, if applicable), including the calendar quarter (or part thereof) for which the calculation of the incentive fee is being made, and (B) the product of (1) our Equity in the most recent 12 month period (or such lesser number of completed calendar quarters, if applicable), including the calendar quarter (or part thereof) for which the calculation of the incentive fee is being made, and (2) 7% per year, and
F-18
SEVEN HILLS REALTY TRUST
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(dollars in thousands, except per share data)
•The sum of any incentive fees paid to Tremont with respect to the first three calendar quarters of the most recent 12 month period (or such lesser number of completed calendar quarters, if applicable).
No incentive fee shall be payable with respect to any calendar quarter unless Core Earnings for the 12 most recently completed calendar quarters (or such lesser number of completed calendar quarters, if applicable) in the aggregate is greater than zero. Pursuant to the terms of our management agreement, any management incentive fees are subject to Tremont earning those fees in accordance with the management agreement.
For purposes of the calculation of base management fees and incentive fees payable to Tremont under our management agreement, “Core Earnings” is defined as net income (or loss) attributable to our common shareholders, computed in accordance with GAAP, including realized losses not otherwise included in GAAP net income (loss), and excluding: (a) the incentive fees earned by Tremont, (b) depreciation and amortization of real estate owned and related intangible assets (if any); (c) non-cash equity compensation expense (if any); (d) unrealized gains, losses and other similar non-cash items that are included in net income for the period of the calculation (regardless of whether such items are included in or deducted from net income or in other comprehensive income or loss under GAAP); and (e) one-time events pursuant to changes in GAAP and certain material non-cash income or expense items, in each case after discussion between Tremont and our Independent Trustees and approved by a majority of our Independent Trustees. Core Earnings are reduced for realized losses on loan investments when amounts are deemed uncollectable. Pursuant to the terms of our management agreement, the exclusion of depreciation and amortization from the calculation of Core Earnings shall only apply with respect to real property we own.
Our shares of beneficial interest that are entitled to a specific periodic distribution or have other debt characteristics will not be included in “Equity” for the purpose of calculating incentive fees payable to Tremont. Instead, the aggregate distribution amount that accrues to such shares during the calendar quarter of such calculation will be subtracted from Core Earnings for purposes of calculating incentive fees, unless such distribution is otherwise already excluded from Core Earnings. Equity and Core Earnings as defined in our management agreement are non-GAAP financial measures and may be different from our shareholders’ equity and our net income calculated according to GAAP.
Term. The term of our management agreement ended on December 31, 2025, and the agreement automatically renewed for a successive one year term on January 1, 2026, and will renew for successive one year terms each January 1 thereafter, unless it is sooner terminated as detailed below.
Termination Rights. We have the right to terminate our management agreement with Tremont upon written notice delivered no later than 180 days prior to a renewal date by the affirmative vote of at least two-thirds (2/3) of our Independent Trustees based upon a determination that: (a) Tremont’s performance is unsatisfactory and materially detrimental to us or (b) the base management fee and incentive fee, taken as a whole, payable to Tremont under our management agreement are not fair to us (provided that, in the instance of (b), Tremont will be afforded the opportunity to renegotiate the base management fee and incentive fee prior to termination). Our management agreement may be terminated by Tremont before each annual renewal upon written notice delivered to our Board of Trustees no later than 180 days prior to an annual renewal date. We may also terminate our management agreement at any time without the payment of any termination fee, with at least 30 days’ prior written notice from us upon the occurrence of a “cause event,” as defined in the management agreement. Tremont may terminate our management agreement in certain other circumstances, including if we become required to register as an investment company under the 1940 Act for our uncured “material breach,” as defined in our management agreement, we materially reduce Tremont’s duties and responsibilities or scope of its authority under our management agreement or we cease or take steps to cease to conduct the business of originating or investing in CRE loans.
Termination Fee. In the event our management agreement is terminated by us without a cause event or by Tremont for a material breach, we will be required to pay Tremont a termination fee equal to: (a) three times the sum of (i) the average annual base management fee and (ii) the average annual incentive fee, in each case paid or payable to Tremont during the 24 month period immediately preceding the most recently completed calendar quarter prior to the date of termination plus (b) $1,600. No termination fee will be payable if our management agreement is terminated by us for a cause event or by Tremont without our material breach. In addition, as described above, in connection with the Merger and the termination of TRMT’s management agreement with Tremont, the initial organizational costs related to TRMT’s formation and the costs of its initial public offering and the concurrent private placement that Tremont had paid pursuant to that management agreement of $6,680 will be included in the “Termination Fee” under and as defined in our management agreement with Tremont.

Expense Reimbursement. Tremont, and not us, is responsible for the costs of its employees who provide services to us, including the cost of Tremont’s personnel who originate our loans, unless any such payment or reimbursement is specifically approved by a majority of our Independent Trustees, is a shared services cost or relates to awards made under any equity compensation plan adopted by us. Generally, it is the practice of Tremont and RMR to treat individuals who spend 50% or more of their business time providing services to Tremont as employees of Tremont. We are required to pay or to reimburse Tremont and its affiliates for all other costs and expenses of our operations, including but not limited to, the cost of rent, utilities, office furniture, equipment, machinery and other overhead type expenses, the costs of legal, accounting, auditing, tax planning and tax return preparation, consulting services, diligence costs related to our investments, investor relations expenses and other professional services, and other costs and expenses not specifically required under our management agreement to be borne by Tremont. Some of these overhead, professional and other services are provided by RMR pursuant to a shared services agreement between Tremont and RMR. We reimburse Tremont for shared services costs Tremont pays to RMR and its affiliates, and these reimbursements include an allocation of the cost of applicable personnel employed by RMR and our share of RMR’s costs of providing our internal audit function, with such shared services costs being subject to approval by a majority of our Independent Trustees at least annually.
Business Opportunities. Under our management agreement, we and Tremont have agreed that for so long as Tremont is managing us, neither Tremont nor any of its affiliates, including RMR, will sponsor or manage any other publicly traded REIT that invests primarily in first mortgage loans secured by middle market transitional CRE located in the United States, unless such activity is approved by our Independent Trustees. However, our management agreement does not prohibit Tremont or its affiliates (including RMR) or their respective directors, trustees, officers, employees or agents from competing or providing services to other persons, funds and investment vehicles, private REITs or other entities that may compete with us, including, among other things, with respect to the origination, acquisition, making, arranging or managing of first mortgage loans secured by middle market transitional CRE or other investments like those we intend to make.
Because Tremont and RMR will not be prohibited from competing with us in all circumstances, and RMR provides management services to other companies, conflicts of interest exist with regard to the allocation of investment opportunities and for the time and attention of Tremont, RMR and their personnel. Our management agreement acknowledges these conflicts of interest and, in that agreement, we agree that Tremont, RMR and their subsidiaries may resolve such conflicts in good faith in their fair and reasonable discretion. In the case of such a conflict, Tremont, RMR and their subsidiaries will endeavor to allocate such investment opportunities in a fair and reasonable manner, taking into account such factors as they deem appropriate.
Our management agreement also provides that if Tremont, its affiliates (including RMR) or any of their respective directors, trustees, officers, employees or agents acquires knowledge of a potential business opportunity, we renounce any potential interest or expectation in, or right to be offered or to participate in, such business opportunity to the maximum extent permitted by Maryland law.
Liability and Indemnification. Tremont maintains a contractual as opposed to a fiduciary relationship with us. Pursuant to our management agreement, Tremont does not assume any responsibility other than to render the services called for thereunder in good faith and is not responsible for any action of our Board of Trustees in following or declining to follow its advice or recommendations. Under the terms of our management agreement, Tremont and its affiliates, including RMR, and their respective directors, trustees, officers, shareholders, owners, members, managers, employees and personnel will not be liable to us or any of our Trustees, shareholders or subsidiaries, or any of the trustees, directors or shareholders of any of our subsidiaries, for any acts or omissions related to the provision of services to us under our management agreement, except by reason of acts or omissions that have been determined in a final, non-appealable adjudication to have constituted bad faith, fraud, intentional misconduct, gross negligence or reckless disregard of the duties of Tremont under our management agreement. In addition, under the terms of our management agreement, we agree to indemnify, hold harmless and advance expenses to Tremont and its affiliates, including RMR, and their respective directors, trustees, officers, shareholders, owners, members, managers, employees and personnel from and against any and all expenses, losses, damages, liabilities, demands, charges and claims of any nature whatsoever, including all reasonable attorneys’, accountants’ and experts’ fees and expenses, arising from any acts or omissions related to the provision of services to us or the performance of any matters pursuant to an instruction by our Board of Trustees, except to the extent there is a final, non-appealable adjudication that such acts or omissions constituted bad faith, fraud, intentional misconduct, gross negligence or reckless disregard of the duties of Tremont under our management agreement. Such persons will also not be liable for trade errors that may result from ordinary negligence, including errors in the investment decision making or trade process.

Rights Offering. On October 30, 2025, we announced our intent to commence the Rights Offering to issue 7,532,861 new common shares and to raise gross proceeds of approximately $65,200.
