The company highlighted its active portfolio management, which included the resolution of multiple nonaccrual loans and strategic share buybacks, as key activities during the quarter.
The company faced significant headwinds this quarter, with a distributable loss of $38.0 million. Loan write-offs accounted for much of this figure, though Granite Point did see some recoveries.

The management remains optimistic about emerging investment opportunities, driven by improving market conditions, and plans to resolve additional nonaccrual loans in the coming months.
