In the first quarter of 2026, Ready Capital Corporation reported a GAAP loss of $1.25 per common share, reflecting the ongoing impact of its balance sheet repositioning strategy. Revenue decreased significantly to $16.2 million from $41.5 million in the prior quarter, primarily due to a $28.5 million reduction in net interest income.

Guidance from management
Management expects to generate an additional $400 million in liquidity from asset sales through year-end and anticipates a stabilization of leverage around 2.5x post-transition.
What management said
Yes. And the total assets, as Tom said in his remarks, we expect another $2 billion to $2.5 billion reduction in the loan portfolio. So based on current total assets of roughly $6.3 billion, we'd expect that number to come down closer to $4 billion.
Yes. What I would say is the change in book value between the first quarter and where we end up in the second quarter base is going to be highly dependent on -- how much of that $2.5 billion we end up selling to cover the remaining liquidity needs to get through the '26 maturities. So there's a little bit of variability based on the execution of those upcoming trades.
What analysts pressed on
Analysts expressed concerns regarding the increase in nonperforming assets and the potential impact on future earnings. Questions were raised about the adequacy of reserves and the implications of ongoing operating losses on deferred tax assets.
