Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), and Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), regarding, among other things, our business, including, in particular, statements about our plans, strategies and objectives. You can generally identify forward-looking statements by our use of forward-looking terminology such as "may," "will," "expect," "intend," "anticipate," "estimate," "believe," "continue" or other similar words. These statements include our plans and objectives for future operations, including plans and objectives relating to future growth and availability of funds, and are based on current expectations that involve numerous risks and uncertainties. Assumptions relating to these statements involve judgments with respect to, among other things, changes in interest rates, our ability to raise and deploy capital, the availability of financing and other future economic, competitive and market conditions and future business decisions, all of which are difficult or impossible to accurately predict and many of which are beyond our control. Although we believe the assumptions underlying the forward-looking statements, and the forward-looking statements themselves, are reasonable, any of the assumptions could be inaccurate and, therefore, there can be no assurance that these forward-looking statements will prove to be accurate and our actual results, performance and achievements may be materially different from that expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. In light of the significant uncertainties inherent in these forward-looking statements, the inclusion of this information should not be regarded as a representation by us or any other person that our objectives and plans, which we consider to be reasonable, will be achieved. We undertake no duty to update or revise forward-looking statements, except as required by law.
Introduction
We were incorporated under the general corporation laws of the State of Maryland on November 7, 2016 and formally commenced investment operations on September 13, 2017. We are managed by FS Real Estate Advisor pursuant to an advisory agreement between us and FS Real Estate Advisor. FS Real Estate Advisor is a subsidiary of our sponsor, Future Standard, a national sponsor of alternative investment funds designed for the individual investor. FS Real Estate Advisor has engaged Rialto to act as its sub-adviser. We are currently conducting a public offering of up to $2,750,000 of our Class T, Class S, Class D, Class M and Class I shares of common stock pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-11 filed with the SEC consisting of up to $2,400,000 in shares in our primary offering and up to $350,000 in shares pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan. We are also conducting a private offering of our Class I common stock to certain accredited investors.
We have elected to be taxed as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes commencing with our taxable year ended December 31, 2017. We intend to be an investment vehicle of indefinite duration focused on real estate debt investments and other real estate-related assets. The shares of common stock are generally intended to be sold and repurchased by us on a continuous basis. We intend to conduct our operations so that we are not required to register under the 1940 Act.
Our primary investment objectives are to: provide current income in the form of regular, stable cash distributions to achieve an attractive distribution yield; preserve and protect invested capital; realize appreciation in NAV from proactive investment management and asset management; and provide an investment alternative for stockholders seeking to allocate a portion of their long-term investment portfolios to commercial real estate debt.
Our investment strategy is to originate, acquire and manage a portfolio of senior loans secured by commercial real estate primarily in the United States. We are focused on senior floating-rate mortgage loans, but we may also invest in other real estate-related assets, including: (i) other commercial real estate mortgage loans, including fixed-rate loans, subordinated loans, B-Notes, mezzanine loans and participations in commercial mortgage loans; and (ii) commercial real estate securities, including CMBS, unsecured debt of listed and non-listed REITs, collateralized debt obligations and equity or equity-linked securities. To a lesser extent we may invest in warehouse loans secured by commercial or residential mortgages, credit loans to commercial real estate companies, construction loans, residential mortgage-backed securities, or RMBS, and portfolios of single-family home mortgages.
The success of our activities is affected by general economic and market conditions, including, among others, interest rates, availability of credit, inflation rates, economic uncertainty, changes in laws and trade barriers. These factors could affect the level and volatility of securities prices and the liquidity of our investments. Volatility or illiquidity could impair our profitability or result in losses. These factors also could adversely affect the availability or cost of our leverage, which would result in lower returns. Future market disruptions and/or illiquidity would be expected to have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. Unfavorable economic conditions also would be expected to increase our funding costs, limit our access to the capital markets or result in a decision by lenders not to extend credit to us. These events have limited and could continue to limit our investment originations, limit our ability to grow and have a material negative impact on our operating results and the fair values of our debt and equity investments.
Macroeconomic Environment
CRE market sentiment improved meaningfully in 2025, supported by a constructive economic backdrop and easing rate pressures. That optimism may be tested in 2026 as macroeconomic uncertainty and higher interest rates weigh on market conditions. During the first quarter of 2026, U.S. Treasury yields rose sharply across the curve amid concerns over a potentially prolonged, inflationary oil supply disruption-developments that could dampen CRE transaction activity this year.
In this environment, senior CRE debt remains attractive for its income potential and downside protection, particularly given the substantial refinancing need ahead. Approximately $2 trillion of CRE debt-roughly one-third of outstanding balances-is set to mature by the end of 2027. While fundamentals remain generally supportive across most property types, risks persist as noted. A macroeconomic downturn could pressure CRE valuations and borrower performance. Loan delinquencies appear to be stabilizing; however, distress remains elevated in select sectors, with workouts continuing to weigh on lender returns. As market conditions evolve, disciplined underwriting and selectivity will be critical to navigating both risks and opportunities.

Net income attributable to FS Credit Real Estate Income Trust, Inc. $ 48,133 $ 42,636
Net Interest Income
Net interest income is generated on our interest-earning assets less related interest-bearing liabilities. The decrease in interest income and interest expense was primarily attributable to lower average index rates for the three months ended March 31, 2026 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025. The increase in interest income on mortgage loans held in securitization trusts, and interest expense on mortgage obligations issued by securitization trusts was attributable to the consolidation of securitization vehicles.
Other Expenses
Other expenses include management and performance fees payable to FS Real Estate Advisor and general and administrative expenses. General and administrative expenses include administrative services expenses and fees, auditing and professional fees, independent director fees, transfer agent fees, loan servicing expenses and other costs associated with operating our business. The increase in other expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2026 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025 can primarily be attributed to the increase in real estate operating expenses and depreciation and amortization as a result of the acquisition of real estate properties through foreclosure during 2025.
Expense Limitation
We have entered into an Expense Limitation Agreement with FS Real Estate Advisor and Rialto pursuant to which FS Real Estate Advisor and Rialto have agreed to waive reimbursement of or pay, on a quarterly basis, our annualized ordinary operating expenses for such quarter to the extent such expenses exceed 1.5% per annum of our average net assets attributable to each of our classes of common stock. Ordinary operating expenses for each class of common stock consist of all ordinary expenses attributable to such class, including administration fees, transfer agent fees, fees paid to our board of directors, loan servicing expenses, administrative services expenses and fees, and related costs associated with legal, regulatory compliance and investor relations, but excluding the following: (a) management fees and performance fees paid to FS Real Estate Advisor pursuant to the Advisory Agreement, (b) interest expense and other financing costs, (c) taxes, (d) distribution or shareholder servicing fees and (e) unusual, unexpected and/or nonrecurring expenses. We will repay FS Real Estate Advisor or Rialto on a quarterly basis any ordinary operating expenses previously waived or paid, but only if the reimbursement would not cause the then-current expense limitation, if any, to be exceeded. In addition, the reimbursement of expenses will be made only if payable not more than three years from the end of the fiscal quarter in which the expenses were paid or waived.
As of March 31, 2026 and 2025, the Company had $0 and $357, respectively, of reimbursements due from FS Real Estate Advisor and Rialto.
During the three months ended March 31, 2026, $338 expense recoupments were paid to FS Real Estate Advisor and Rialto. As of March 31, 2026, there were $76 of expense recoupments payable to FS Real Estate Advisor and Rialto.
Credit Loss Expense, Net
During the three months ended March 31, 2026, our expected credit loss reserve decreased by $20,019. The decrease was primarily driven by the macroeconomic assumptions utilized in determining our general current expected credit loss ("CECL") reserve. Credit loss expenses relate to changes in the Company's general and specific CECL reserves for the Company's Loans receivable, held-for-investment and Mortgage-backed securities, held-to-maturity portfolios, and the credit loss allowance associated with the Company's Mortgage-backed securities available-for-sale.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Funds from Operations and Modified Funds from Operations
We use Funds from Operations ("FFO"), a widely accepted non-GAAP financial metric, to evaluate our performance. FFO provides a supplemental measure to compare our performance and operations to other REITs. Due to certain unique operating characteristics of real estate companies, the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("NAREIT") has promulgated a standard known as FFO, which it believes more accurately reflects the operating performance of a REIT. As defined by NAREIT, FFO means net income computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding gains (or losses) from sales of operating property, plus depreciation and amortization and after adjustments for unconsolidated entities. In addition, NAREIT has further clarified the FFO definition to add-back impairment write-downs of depreciable real estate or of investments in unconsolidated entities that are driven by measurable decreases in the fair value of depreciable real estate and to exclude the earnings impacts of cumulative effects of accounting changes. We have adopted the NAREIT definition for computing FFO.
Due to the unique features of publicly registered, non-listed REITs, the Institute for Portfolio Alternatives ("IPA"), an industry trade group, published a standardized non-GAAP financial measure known as Modified Funds from Operations ("MFFO"), which the IPA has promulgated as a supplemental measure for publicly registered non-listed REITs and which may be another appropriate supplemental measure to reflect the operating performance of a non-listed REIT.
The IPA defines MFFO as FFO adjusted for acquisition fees and expenses, amounts relating to straight line rents and amortization of premiums or accretion of discounts on debt investments, non-recurring impairments of real estate-related investments, mark-to-market adjustments included in net income, non-recurring gains or losses included in net income from the extinguishment or sale of debt, hedges, foreign exchange, derivatives or securities holdings where trading of such holdings is not a fundamental attribute of the business plan, unrealized gains or losses resulting from consolidation from, or deconsolidation to, equity accounting, and after adjustments for consolidated and unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures.
Because MFFO may be a recognized measure of operating performance within the non-listed REIT industry, MFFO and the adjustments used to calculate it may be useful in order to evaluate our performance against other non-listed REITs. Like FFO, MFFO is not equivalent to our net income or loss as determined under GAAP, as detailed in the table below, and MFFO may not be a useful measure of the impact of long-term operating performance on value if we continue to acquire a significant amount of investments.
Our presentation of FFO and MFFO may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures presented by other REITs. We believe that the use of FFO and MFFO provides a more complete understanding of our operating performance to stockholders and to management, and when compared year over year, reflects the impact on our operations from trends in operating costs, general and administrative expenses, and interest costs. Neither FFO nor MFFO is intended to be an alternative to "net income" or to "cash flows from operating activities" as determined by GAAP as a measure of our capacity to pay distributions. Management uses FFO and MFFO to compare our operating performance to that of other REITs and to assess our operating performance.
Neither the SEC, any other regulatory body nor NAREIT has passed judgment on the acceptability of the adjustments that we use to calculate FFO or MFFO. In the future, the SEC, another regulatory body or NAREIT may decide to standardize the allowable adjustments across the non-listed REIT industry and we would have to adjust our calculation and characterization of FFO or MFFO.
Our FFO and MFFO are calculated for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 as follows:

NAV per Share
FS Real Estate Advisor calculates our NAV per share in accordance with the valuation guidelines approved by our board of directors for the purposes of establishing a price for shares sold in our public offering as well as establishing a repurchase price for shares repurchased pursuant to our Share Repurchase Plan.
In general, our investments are valued by FS Real Estate Advisor based on market quotations, at amortized cost or at fair value determined in accordance with GAAP. In accordance with the valuation guidelines approved by our board of directors, FS Real Estate Advisor calculates our NAV per share for each class of our common stock as of the last calendar day of each month. For purposes of calculating our NAV, FS Real Estate Advisor uses the following valuation methods:
•Commercial real estate debt classified as held-for-investment is valued at amortized cost, net of unamortized acquisition premiums or discounts, loan fees, and origination costs. Mortgage-backed securities are classified as held-to-maturity when we intend to and can hold such securities until maturity and are valued at amortized cost, net of unamortized acquisition premium or discount. Our general CECL reserve is not considered impairment and is excluded from our NAV calculation consistent with other unrealized gains (losses) for investments expected to be held-to-maturity pursuant to our existing policy for calculating NAV. We recognize such potential credit losses in the NAV calculation if and when a loan is deemed impaired. Impairment is indicated when it is deemed probable that we will not be able to collect all amounts due to us pursuant to the contractual terms of the loan. If a loan is determined to be impaired, the loan is written down through a loan specific reserve. See Note 2 to our unaudited consolidated financial statements included herein for additional information regarding our accounting for impaired loans, including significant judgments and assumptions included. At least quarterly, FS Real Estate Advisor, with assistance from our sub-adviser, evaluates for impairment each loan classified as held-for-investment.
•Mortgage-backed securities that we do not classify as held-to-maturity are reported at fair value. On a monthly basis, FS Real Estate Advisor values such securities using quotations obtained from an independent third-party pricing service, which provides prevailing bid and ask prices that are screened for validity by the third-party pricing service on the valuation date. For securities for which there is no readily available market quotations, FS Real Estate Advisor values the security using current market data and a valuation provided by an independent third-party valuation firm. Each investment is valued by FS Real Estate Advisor no less frequently than quarterly.
•Purchased commercial real estate properties are initially valued at cost, which is expected to represent fair value at that time. FS Real Estate Advisor, with assistance from our sub-adviser, expects to receive an appraisal performed by an independent third-party appraisal firm on each property purchased prior to or upon acquisition. Foreclosed properties are initially measured at fair value by the adviser. Each property will then be valued by an independent third party monthly, commencing with the month subsequent to acquisition. Properties accounted for as held-for-investment are reported at fair value, while properties accounted for as held-for-sale are reported at fair value less estimated costs to sell. The independent third-party valuation firm will provide a monthly valuation for each property using the discounted cash flow methodology (income approach) as a primary methodology, although other industry standard methodologies may be used, including the sales comparison and replacement cost approaches. Further, the independent third-party valuation firm will provide an annual
valuation for each property, which will be consistent with its monthly valuation but will also reflect (i) property specific factors such as property income, cash flow forecasts, capital improvements and key performance indicators (e.g. occupancy rates) and (ii) market specific factors such as discount rates, capitalization rates and market sale transactions.
•Liabilities include repurchase agreements payable, credit facility payable, collateralized loan obligations, mortgage obligations, fees payable to FS Real Estate Advisor and the dealer manager, accounts payable, accrued operating expenses, any portfolio-level credit facilities, and other liabilities. All liabilities are valued at amounts payable, net of unamortized premium or discount, and net of unamortized debt issuance costs. Liabilities related to stockholder servicing fees allocable to Class T, Class S, Class D and Class M shares are only included in the NAV calculation for those classes. Liabilities related to the base management fee is a class-specific expense for Class T, Class S, Class D, Class M and Class I shares, and the performance fee is a class-specific expense for Class T, Class S, Class D, Class M, Class I and Class Y shares. Class I PCRs will not be treated as a liability unless and until Class I shares are issuable pursuant to our advisory agreement and the Class I PCR agreement.
Loans receivable and mortgage-backed securities held-to-maturity are valued at amortized cost, consistent with how they are recorded in accordance with GAAP, as these instruments are intended to be held-to-maturity. Liabilities are valued at amortized cost as these obligations are expected to be satisfied at their carrying value. See Note 9 to our unaudited consolidated financial statements included herein for additional information including a comparison of our carrying value and an estimate of the fair value of our loans receivable held-for-investment, mortgage-backed securities held-to-maturity, repurchase agreements payable, credit facility payable, collateralized loan obligations, and mortgage note payable.

The following table details the weighted average discount rate and exit capitalization rate by property type, which are the key assumptions used in the discounted cash flow valuations as of March 31, 2026:
Property Type Discount Rate Exit Capitalization Rate
Office 7.48% 6.40%
Multifamily 7.28% 5.55%
Discount rate and exit capitalization rate are the key assumptions used in the discounted cash flow valuation of our investments in real estate. A change in these assumptions would impact the calculation of the value of our real estate investments. For example, assuming all other factors remain unchanged, the changes listed below would result in the following effects on our investment values:
Input Hypothetical Change Office Investment Values Multifamily Investment Values
Discount Rate 0.25% decrease 1.9 % 2.0 %
(weighted average) 0.25% increase (1.9) % (1.9) %
Exit Capitalization Rate 0.25% decrease 2.6 % 3.0 %
(weighted average) 0.25% increase (2.4) % 2.7 %

_______________________
(1) Stockholder servicing fees only apply to Class T, Class S, Class D and Class M shares. Under GAAP, we accrue future stockholder servicing fees in an amount equal to our best estimate of fees payable to FS Investment Solutions at the time such shares are sold. For purposes of NAV, we recognize the stockholder servicing fee as a reduction of NAV on a monthly basis. As a result, the estimated liability for the future stockholder servicing fees, which are accrued at the time each share is sold, will have no effect on the NAV of any class.
(2) Our loans receivable held-for-investment and mortgage-backed securities held-for-investment balances include a general CECL reserve in our GAAP unaudited consolidated financial statements. For purposes of calculating our NAV, our general CECL reserve is excluded. We recognize a specific CECL reserve in the NAV calculation if and when a loan is deemed impaired, as described above.
(3) Our investment in real estate is presented at its depreciated cost basis in our GAAP unaudited consolidated financial statements. As such, any increases or decreases in the fair market value of our investment in real estate is not included in our GAAP results. For purposes of calculating our NAV, our investment in real estate is recorded at fair value.
(4) We depreciate our investment in real estate and amortize certain other assets and liabilities in accordance with GAAP. Such depreciation and amortization are not recorded for purposes of determining our NAV.
(5) Includes (i) straight-line rent receivables, which are recorded in accordance with GAAP but not recorded for purposes of determining our NAV, (ii) increases or decreases in the fair market value of our interest rate cap, which is recorded in accordance with GAAP but not recorded for purposes of determining our NAV. For purposes of calculating our NAV, the interest rate cap is amortized over its term, and (iii) other adjustments.
Limits on the Calculation of Our Per Share NAV
Although our primary goal in establishing our valuation guidelines is to produce a valuation that represents a fair and accurate estimate of the value of our investments, the methodologies used are based on judgments, assumptions and opinions about future events that may or may not prove to be correct, and if different judgments, assumptions or opinions were used, a different estimate would likely result. Furthermore, our published per share NAV may not fully reflect certain extraordinary events because we may not be able to immediately quantify the financial impact of such events on our portfolio. FS Real Estate Advisor monitors our portfolio between valuations to determine whether there have been any extraordinary events that may have materially changed the estimated market value of the portfolio, such as significant market events or disruptions or force majeure events. If required by applicable securities law, we will promptly disclose the occurrence of such event in a prospectus supplement and FS Real Estate Advisor will analyze the impact of such extraordinary event on our portfolio and determine, in coordination with third-party valuation services, the appropriate adjustment to be made to our NAV. We will not, however, retroactively adjust NAV. To the extent that the extraordinary
events may result in a material change in value of a specific investment, FS Real Estate Advisor will order a new valuation of the investment, which will be prepared by a third-party valuation service. It is not known whether any resulting disparity will benefit stockholders whose shares are or are not being repurchased or purchasers of our common stock. In calculating the number of shares outstanding used in calculating our NAV, we include the number of estimated Class I shares, if any, issuable to the adviser and the sub-adviser pursuant to the PCR Agreement based on the achievement of the Performance Conditions (as defined in the PCR Agreement), which estimate we will true up following the issuance of such Class I shares pursuant to the PCR Agreement.
We include no discounts to our NAV for the illiquid nature of our shares, including the limitations on the ability to sell shares under our Share Repurchase Plan and our ability to suspend or terminate our Share Repurchase Plan at any time. Our NAV generally does not consider exit costs that would likely be incurred if our assets and liabilities were liquidated or sold. While we may use market pricing concepts to value individual components of our NAV, our per share NAV is not derived from the market pricing information of open-end real estate funds listed on stock exchanges.
We do not represent, warranty or guarantee that:
•a stockholder would be able to realize the NAV per share for the class of shares a stockholder owns if the stockholder attempts to sell its shares;
•a stockholder would ultimately realize distributions per share equal to per share NAV upon a liquidation of our assets and settlement of our liabilities or upon any other liquidity event;
•shares of our common stock would trade at per share NAV on a national securities exchange;
•a third party in an arm's-length transaction would offer to purchase all or substantially all of our shares of common stock at NAV;
•NAV would equate to a market price for an open-end real estate fund; and
•NAV would represent the fair value of our assets less liabilities under GAAP.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of March 31, 2026, we had $192,719 in cash and cash equivalents, which we and our wholly owned subsidiaries held in custodial accounts. In addition, as of March 31, 2026, we had $3,433,662 in borrowings available under our financing arrangements, subject to borrowing base and other limitations. As of March 31, 2026, we had unfunded loan commitments of $362,672. We maintain sufficient cash on hand and available borrowings to fund such unfunded commitments should the need arise.
We will obtain the funds required to purchase or originate investments and conduct our operations from the net proceeds of our public offering, the private placement of our Class I shares and any future offerings we may conduct, from secured and unsecured borrowings from banks and other lenders, and from any undistributed funds from operations. Our principal demands for funds will be for asset acquisitions/originations, the payment of operating expenses and distributions, the payment of interest on any outstanding indebtedness and repurchases of our common stock pursuant to our Share Repurchase Plan. Generally, cash needs for items other than asset acquisitions/originations will be met from operations, and cash needs for asset acquisitions/originations will be funded by public offerings of our shares and debt financings. However, there may be a delay between the sale of our shares and our purchase/originations of assets, which could result in a delay in the benefits to our stockholders of returns generated from our investment operations. Our leverage may not exceed 300% of our total net assets (as defined in our charter) as of the date of any borrowing unless a majority of our independent directors vote to approve any borrowing in excess of this amount. Our board of directors will continue to review our ratio of leverage to total net assets on a quarterly basis, as required by our charter.

If we are unable to continue to raise substantial funds in our public offering, we will make fewer investments resulting in less diversification in terms of the type, number and size of investments we make and the value of an investment in us will fluctuate with the performance of the specific assets we acquire. We have certain fixed operating expenses, including certain expenses as a publicly offered REIT, regardless of whether we are able to raise substantial funds in our public offering. Our inability to raise substantial funds would increase our fixed operating expenses as a percentage of gross income, reducing our net income and limiting our ability to make distributions.
Potential future sources of capital include proceeds from secured or unsecured financings from banks or other lenders or proceeds from the sale of assets or collection of loans receivable.
In addition to making investments in accordance with our investment objectives, we expect to use our capital resources to make certain payments to FS Real Estate Advisor and FS Investment Solutions, the dealer manager for our public offering. During the offering stage of our public offering, these payments will include payments to FS Real Estate Advisor and its affiliates for reimbursement of certain organization and offering expenses. We will reimburse FS Real Estate Advisor for the organization and offering costs it or Rialto incurs on our behalf only to the extent that the reimbursement would not cause the selling commissions, dealer manager fees, accountable due diligence expenses, stockholder servicing fees and the other organization and offering expenses borne by us to exceed 15.0% of the gross offering proceeds from the primary offering as the amount of proceeds increases. FS Real Estate Advisor may be reimbursed for any organization and offering expenses that it or Rialto has incurred on our behalf, up to a cap of 0.75% of gross proceeds raised. Future Standard funded our offering costs in the amount of $30,518 for the period from November 7, 2016 (Inception) to March 31, 2026. Through March 31, 2026, we reimbursed $27,450 to FS Real Estate Advisor for offering expenses previously funded. As of March 31, 2026, $2,825 of offering expenses previously funded remained subject to reimbursement to FS Real Estate Advisor and Rialto.
Subject to the limitations in the advisory agreement and sub-advisory agreement, we expect to make payments to FS Real Estate Advisor in connection with the management of our assets and costs incurred by FS Real Estate Advisor and Rialto in providing services to us. The advisory agreement has a one-year term but may be renewed for an unlimited number of successive one-year periods upon the mutual consent of FS Real Estate Advisor and our board of directors. On November 12, 2025, our board of directors approved the renewal of the advisory agreement effective as of December 1, 2025 for an additional one-year term expiring December 1, 2026. For a discussion of the compensation to be paid to FS Real Estate Advisor and FS Investment Solutions, see Note 7 to our unaudited consolidated financial statements included herein.
Cash Flows
The following table provides a breakdown of the net change in our cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash:
Three Months Ended March 31,
2026 2025
Cash flows from operating activities $ 37,694 $ 39,094
Cash flows used in investing activities (313,595) (60,923)
Cash flows from financing activities 116,035 111,428
Net increase (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash $ (159,866) $ 89,599
Cash flows from operating activities decreased $1,400 during the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the corresponding period in 2025 primarily due to the change in non-cash other income items in addition to the change in other assets and accrued expenses during the period.
Cash flows used in investing activities decreased $252,672 during the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the corresponding period in 2025 primarily due to the increase in origination and fundings of loans receivables of $219,704 as well as a net decrease in principal collections from loans receivable, held-for-investment $114,041.
Cash flows from financing activities increased $4,607 during the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the corresponding period in 2025 primarily due to a net decrease in redemptions of common stock of $4,507.
We utilize our credit and repurchase facilities primarily to finance our loan originations on a short-term basis prior to loan securitizations, including through CLOs. The timing, size, and frequency of our securitizations impact the balances of these borrowings, and produce some fluctuations. The following table provides additional information regarding the balances of our borrowings:
Quarter Ended Quarterly Average Unpaid Principal Balance End of Period Unpaid Principal Balance Maximum Unpaid Principal Balance at Any Month-End
March 31, 2026 $ 3,354,385 $ 3,074,256 $ 3,716,782

Related Party Transactions
Compensation of FS Real Estate Advisor, Rialto and the Dealer Manager
Pursuant to the advisory agreement, FS Real Estate Advisor is entitled to an annual base management fee equal to 1.25% of the NAV for our Class T, Class S, Class D, Class M and Class I shares and a performance fee in an amount equal to 10.0% of the Core Earnings for the immediately preceding quarter, subject to a hurdle rate, expressed as a rate of return on average adjusted capital, equal to 1.625% per quarter, or an annualized hurdle rate of 6.5%. We also reimburse FS Real Estate Advisor and Rialto for their actual cost incurred on providing administrative services to us, including the allocable portion of compensation and related expenses of certain personnel providing such administrative services. Further, origination fees of up to 1.0% of the loan amount for first lien, subordinated or mezzanine debt or preferred equity financing may be retained by Rialto or FS Real Estate Advisor. FS Real Estate Advisor has also received compensation for the structuring and negotiation of certain financing arrangements. Pursuant to the advisory agreement, we will reimburse FS Real Estate Advisor and its affiliates for expenses incurred relating to our organization and continuous public offering, including the allocable portion of compensation and related expenses of certain personnel of Future Standard related thereto. FS Real Estate Advisor previously agreed to advance all of our organization and offering expenses until we raised $250,000 of gross proceeds from our public offering. In April 2020, FS Real Estate Advisor and Rialto agreed to defer the recoupment of any organization and offering expenses that may be reimbursable by us under the advisory agreement with respect to gross proceeds raised in the offering in excess of $250,000 until FS Real Estate Advisor, in its sole discretion, determined that we had achieved economies of scale sufficient to ensure that we could bear a reasonable level of expenses in relation to our income. We began reimbursing FS Real Estate Advisor in September 2020 and, as such, FS Real Estate Advisor may be reimbursed for any organization and offering expenses that it or Rialto has incurred on our behalf, up to a cap of 0.75% of gross proceeds raised after such time.
The dealer manager for our continuous public offering is FS Investment Solutions, which is an affiliate of FS Real Estate Advisor. Under the Dealer Manager Agreement, FS Investment Solutions is entitled to receive upfront selling commissions and dealer manager fees in connection with the sale of shares of common stock in our continuous public offering. FS Investment Solutions anticipates that all of the selling commissions and dealer manager fees will be reallowed to participating broker-dealers, unless a particular broker-dealer declines to accept some portion of the dealer manager fee they are otherwise eligible to receive. FS Investment Solutions is also entitled to receive stockholder servicing fees, which accrue daily and are paid on a monthly basis. FS Investment Solutions will reallow such stockholder servicing fees to participating broker-dealers, servicing broker-dealers and financial institutions (including bank trust departments) and will waive (pay back to us) stockholder servicing fees to the extent a broker-dealer or financial institution is not eligible or otherwise declines to receive all or a portion of such fees.
See Note 7 to our unaudited consolidated financial statements included herein for additional information regarding our related party transactions and relationships, including a description of the fees and amounts due to FS Real Estate Advisor, compensation of FS Investment Solutions, capital contributions by Future Standard and Rialto and, our Expense Limitation Agreement with Future Standard.
FS Investment Solutions also serves or served as the placement agent for our private offerings pursuant to placement agreements. FS Investment Solutions does not receive any compensation pursuant to these agreements.
