Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] | |
Business and Organization | Business and Organization KKR Real Estate Finance Trust Inc. (together with its consolidated subsidiaries, referred to throughout this report as the "Company" or "KREF") is a Maryland corporation that was formed and commenced operations on October 2, 2014 as a mortgage real estate investment trust ("REIT") that focuses primarily on originating and acquiring transitional senior loans secured by commercial real estate ("CRE") assets. KREF has elected and intends to maintain its qualification to be taxed as a REIT under the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Internal Revenue Code"), for U.S. federal income tax purposes. As such, KREF will generally not be subject to U.S. federal income tax on that portion of its income that it distributes to stockholders if it distributes at least 90% of its REIT taxable income, determined without regard to the deduction for dividends paid and excluding any net capital gains. See Note 17 regarding taxes applicable to KREF. KREF is externally managed by KKR Real Estate Finance Manager LLC ("Manager"), an indirect subsidiary of KKR & Co. Inc. (together with its subsidiaries, "KKR"), through a management agreement ("Management Agreement") pursuant to which the Manager provides a management team and other professionals who are responsible for implementing KREF’s business strategy, subject to the supervision of KREF’s board of directors. For its services, the Manager is entitled to management fees and incentive compensation, both defined in, and in accordance with the terms of, the Management Agreement (Note 15). As of March 31, 2022, KKR beneficially owned 14,250,001 shares, or 21.0% of KREF's outstanding common stock . KREF's principal business activities are related to the origination and purchase of credit investments related to CRE. Management assesses the performance of KREF's current portfolio of leveraged and unleveraged commercial real estate loans and commercial mortgage-backed securities ("CMBS") as a whole and makes operating decisions accordingly. As a result, management presents KREF's operations within a single reporting segment. |
Summary of Significant Accounti
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | 3 Months Ended |

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Basis of Presentation — The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes of KREF are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") for interim financial information and instructions to Form 10-Q. The condensed consolidated financial statements, including the accompanying notes, are unaudited and exclude some of the disclosures required in annual financial statements. Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the consolidated financial statements have been condensed or omitted. The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of KREF and its consolidated subsidiaries, and all intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of KREF’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows have been included and are of a normal and recurring nature. The operating results presented for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the entire year. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with KREF's Annual Report on Form 10-K. Risks and Uncertainties — The coronavirus pandemic ("COVID-19") has adversely impacted global commercial activity and has contributed to significant volatility in financial markets. During 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic created disruption in global supply chains, increased rates of unemployment and adversely impacted many industries, including industries related to the collateral underlying certain of our loans. The impact of the outbreak has been rapidly evolving around the globe, with several countries taking drastic measures to limit the spread of the virus by instituting quarantines or lockdowns, imposing travel restrictions and limiting operations of non-essential offices and retail centers. Since 2020, the global economy has, with certain setbacks, begun reopening, and wider distribution of vaccines will likely encourage greater economic activity. However, wide disparities in vaccination rates and continued vaccine hesitancy, combined with the emergence of COVID-19 variants and surges in COVID-19 cases, could trigger the reinstatement of restrictions, including mandatory business shut-downs, travel restrictions, reduced business operations and social distancing requirements, which could dampen or delay any economic recovery and could materially and adversely affect KREF’s results and financial condition. In addition, the COVID-19 pandemic continues to disrupt global supply chains, has caused labor shortages and has added broad inflationary pressures, which has a potential negative impact on KREF's borrowers’ ability to execute on their business plans and potentially their ability to perform under the terms of their loan obligations. Although KREF has observed signs of economic recovery and is generally encouraged by the response of its borrowers, KREF cannot predict the time required for a widespread sustainable economic recovery to take hold. Use of Estimates — The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Management makes subjective estimates to project cash flows KREF expects to receive on its investments in loans and securities as well as the related market discount rates, which significantly impacts the interest income, impairments, allowance for loan loss and fair values recorded or disclosed. The effects of COVID-19 may negatively and materially impact significant estimates and assumptions used by the Company including, but not limited to estimates of expected credit losses, valuation of our equity method investments and the fair value estimates of the Company’s assets and liabilities . Actual results could materially differ from those estimates. Consolidation — KREF consolidates those entities for which (i) it controls through either majority ownership or voting rights or (ii) management determines that KREF is the primary beneficiary of entities deemed to be variable interest entities ("VIEs"). Variable Interest Entities — VIEs are entities (i) in which equity investors do not have an interest with the characteristics of a controlling financial interest, (ii) do not have sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties or (iii) established with non-substantive voting rights. A VIE is required to be consolidated only by its primary beneficiary, which is defined as the party that has the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance and that has the obligation to absorb losses of, or the right to receive benefits from, the VIE that could be potentially significant to the VIE (Note 10). To assess whether KREF has the power to direct the activities of a VIE that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance, KREF considers all the facts and circumstances, including its role in establishing the VIE and its ongoing rights and responsibilities. This assessment includes, first, identifying the activities that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance; and second, identifying which party, if any, has power to direct those activities. To assess whether KREF has the obligation to absorb losses of, or the right to receive benefits from, the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE, KREF considers all of its economic interests and applies judgment in determining whether these interests, in the aggregate, are considered potentially significant to the VIE. Collateralized Loan Obligations — KREF consolidates collateralized loan obligations (“CLOs”) when it determines that the CLO issuers, wholly-owned subsidiaries of KREF, are VIEs and that KREF is the primary beneficiary of such VIEs. The collateral assets of KREF's CLOs, comprised of a pool of loan participations, are included in “Commercial real estate loans, held-for-investment, net” on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The liabilities of KREF's consolidated CLOs consist solely of obligations to the senior CLO noteholders, excluding subordinated CLO tranches held by KREF as such interests are eliminated in consolidation, are presented in “Collateralized loan obligations, net” on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The collateral assets of the CLOs can only be used to settle the obligations of the consolidated CLOs. The interest income from the CLOs’ collateral assets and the interest expense on the CLOs’ liabilities are presented on a gross basis in “Interest income” and “Interest expense”, respectively, in KREF's Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. Real Estate Owned Joint Venture — KREF consolidated a joint venture that held the majority of KREF’s sole investment in real estate owned (“REO”) property that was acquired in the fourth quarter of 2021, in which a third party owned a 10% noncontrolling interest (Note 10). Management determined the joint venture to be a VIE as the joint venture had insufficient equity-at-risk. KREF owns 90% of the equity interest in the joint venture and participates in the profits and losses. Management concluded KREF to be the primary beneficiary of the joint venture as KREF held decision-making power over the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance and has the obligation to absorb losses of, or the right to receive benefits from, the joint venture that could be potentially significant to the joint venture. Noncontrolling Interests — Noncontrolling interests represent the ownership interests in certain consolidated subsidiaries held by entities or persons other than KREF. These noncontrolling interests do not include redemption features and are presented as "Noncontrolling interests in equity of consolidated joint venture" on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. Temporary Equity — KREF's Special Non-Voting Preferred Stock (“SNVPS”) became redeemable by the SNVPS holder in the second quarter of 2018. As a result, starting with the second quarter of 2018, KREF adjusted the carrying value of the SNVPS to its redemption value quarterly. The SNVPS Redemption Value Adjustment was treated similar to a dividend on preferred stock for GAAP purposes and therefore was deducted from (or added back to) “Net Income (Loss)” to arrive at “Net Income (Loss) Attributable to Common Stockholders” on KREF's Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. KREF recorded a $3.3 million non-cash redemption value adjustment to the SNVPS (“SNVPS Redemption Value Adjustment”) during the year ended December 31, 2021, which increased the carrying value of the SNVPS to its redemption value of $5.1 million prior to redemption of the SNVPS by KREF on October 1, 2021 for a cash redemption value of $5.1 million (Note 10). Equity Method Investments — Investments are accounted for under the equity method when KREF has significant influence over the operations of an investee but does not consolidate that investment. Equity method investments, for which management has not elected a fair value option, are initially recorded at cost and subsequently adjusted for KREF's share of net income or loss and cash contributions and distributions each period. Management determined that KREF's investment in the Manager is an interest in a VIE, however KREF is not the primary beneficiary. KREF does not have substantive participating or kick-out rights nor the power to direct activities and the obligation to absorb losses of the Manager that could be significant to the Manager. KREF accounts for its investment in the Manager using the equity method. On October 1, 2021, KREF TRS redeemed its interest in the Manager for a cash call amount of $5.1 million when the KKR Member exercised its Call Option to redeem the Non-Voting Manager Units, including the Non-Voting Manager Units held by KREF TRS (Note 10). Management determined that KREF's investment in an aggregator vehicle alongside KKR Real Estate Credit Opportunity Partners L.P. ("RECOP I ") is an interest in a VIE, however KREF is not the primary beneficiary and does not have substantive participating or kick-out rights. KREF records its share of net asset value in RECOP I in “Equity method investments” on its Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and its share of unrealized gains or losses in “Income from equity method investments” in its Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. Management elected the fair value option for KREF's investment in RECOP I. KREF classifies distributions received from equity method investees using the cumulative earnings approach. Distributions received up to the cumulative earnings from each equity method investee are considered returns on investment and presented within “Cash Flows from Operating Activities” in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows; excess distributions received are considered returns of investment and presented within “Cash Flows from Investing Activities” in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Fair Value — GAAP requires the categorization of the fair value of financial instruments into three broad levels that form a hierarchy based on the transparency of inputs to the valuation. Level 1 - Inputs are unadjusted, quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date. Level 2 - Inputs are other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, and inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability. Level 3 - Inputs are unobservable for the asset or liability, and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability. KREF follows this hierarchy for its financial instruments. The classifications are based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Valuation Process — The Manager reviews the valuation of Level 3 financial instruments as part of KKR's quarterly process. As of March 31, 2022, KKR’s valuation process for Level 3 measurements, as described below, subjected valuations to the review and oversight of various committees. KKR has a global valuation committee assisted by the asset class-specific valuation committees, including a real estate valuation committee that reviews and approves all preliminary Level 3 valuations for real estate assets, including the financial instruments held by KREF. The global valuation committee is responsible for coordinating and implementing KKR’s valuation process to ensure consistency in the application of valuation principles across portfolio investments and between periods. All Level 3 valuations are also subject to approval by the global valuation committee. Valuation of Commercial Real Estate Loans and Participation Sold — Management generally considers KREF's commercial real estate loans Level 3 assets in the fair value hierarchy as such assets are illiquid, structured investments that are specific to the sponsor, underlying property and its operating performance (Note 16). On a quarterly basis, management engages an independent valuation firm to estimate the fair value of each loan categorized as a Level 3 asset. Management reviews the quarterly loan valuation estimates provided by the independent valuation firm. These loans are generally valued using a discounted cash flow model using discount rates derived from observable market data applied to the capital structure of the respective sponsor and/or estimated property value. In the event that management's estimate of fair value differs from the fair value estimate provided by the independent valuation firm, KREF ultimately relies solely upon the valuation prepared by the investment personnel of the Manager. Valuation of CLO Consolidated VIEs — Management estimates the fair value of the CLO liabilities using prices obtained from an independent valuation firm. If prices received from the independent valuation firm are inconsistent with values determined in connection with management’s independent review, management makes inquiries to the independent valuation firm about the prices received and related methods. In the event management determines the price obtained from an independent valuation firm to be unreliable or an inaccurate representation of the fair value of the CLO liabilities (based on considerations given to observable market data), management then compiles evidence independently and presents the independent valuation firm with such evidence supporting a different value. As a result, the independent valuation firm may revise their price after evaluating any additional evidence. However, if management continues to disagree with the price from the independent valuation firm, in light of evidence that management compiled independently and believes to be compelling, valuations are then prepared using inputs based on non-binding broker quotes obtained from independent, well-known, major financial brokers that are CLO market makers. In validating any non-binding broker quote used in this circumstance, management compares the non-binding quote to the observable market data points in addition to understanding the valuation methodologies used by the market makers. These market participants may utilize a similar methodology as the independent valuation firm to value the CLO liabilities, with the key input of expected yield determined independently based on both observable and unobservable factors. To avoid reliance on any single broker-dealer, management receives a minimum of two non-binding quotes, of which the average is used. Other Valuation Matters — For Level 3 financial assets originated, or otherwise acquired, and financial liabilities assumed during the current calendar quarter that were conducted in an orderly transaction with an unrelated party, management generally believes that the transaction price provides the most observable indication of fair value given the illiquid nature of these financial instruments, unless management is aware of any circumstances that may cause a material change in the fair value through the remainder of the quarterly reporting period. For instance, significant changes to the underlying property or its planned operations may cause material changes in the fair value of commercial real estate loans acquired, or originated, by KREF. KREF’s determination of fair value is based upon the best information available for a given circumstance and may incorporate assumptions that are management’s best estimates after consideration of a variety of internal and external factors. When an independent valuation firm expresses an opinion on the fair value of a financial instrument in the form of a range, management selects a value within the range provided by the independent valuation firm, generally the midpoint, to assess the reasonableness of management’s estimated fair value for that financial instrument. See Note 16 for additional information regarding the valuation of KREF's financial assets and liabilities. Sales of Financial Assets and Financing Agreements — KREF will, from time to time, transfer loans, securities and other assets as well as finance assets in the form of secured borrowings. In each case, management evaluates whether the transaction constitutes a sale through legal isolation of the transferred financial asset from KREF, the ability of the transferee to pledge or exchange the transferred asset without constraint and the transfer of control of the transferred asset. For transfers that constitute sales, KREF (i) recognizes the financial assets it retains and liabilities it has incurred, if any, (ii) derecognizes the financial assets it has sold, and derecognizes liabilities when extinguished and (iii) recognizes a realized gain, or loss, based upon the excess, or deficient, proceeds received over the carrying value of the transferred asset. KREF does not recognize a gain, or loss, on interests retained, if any, where management elected the fair value option prior to sale. Balance Sheet Measurement Cash and Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash — KREF considers cash equivalents as highly liquid short-term investments with maturities of 90 days or less when purchased. Substantially all amounts on deposit with major financial institutions exceed insured limits. KREF must maintain sufficient cash and cash equivalents to satisfy liquidity covenants related to its secured financing agreements. However, such amounts are not restricted from use in KREF's current operations, and KREF does not present these cash and cash equivalents as restricted. As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, KREF was required to maintain unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of at least $44.3 million and $65.6 million, respectively, to satisfy its liquidity covenants (Note 5). As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, KREF had $1.7 million and $2.3 million of restricted cash held in lender-controlled bank accounts, respectively. Such amount is presented within "Other Assets" in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. Commercial Real Estate Loans Held-For-Investment and Allowance for Credit Losses — KREF recognizes its investments in commercial real estate loans based on management's intent, and KREF's ability, to hold those investments through their contractual maturity. Management classifies those loans that management does not intend to sell in the foreseeable future, and KREF is able to hold until maturity, as held-for-investment. Loans that are held-for-investment are carried at their aggregate outstanding principal, net of applicable (i) unamortized origination or acquisition premiums and discounts, (ii) unamortized deferred nonrefundable fees and other direct loan origination costs, and (iii) allowance for credit losses, net of write-offs of impaired loans . If a loan is determined to be impaired, management writes off the loan through a charge to the "Allowance for credit losses" and respective loan balance. KREF applies the interest method to amortize origination or acquisition premiums and discounts and deferred nonrefundable fees or other direct loan origination costs, or on a straight-line basis when it approximates the interest method. Loans for which management elects the fair value option at the time of origination, or acquisition, are carried at fair value on a recurring basis (Note 3). On January 1, 2020, KREF adopted ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses , and subsequent amendments (“ASU 2016-13”), which replaced the incurred loss methodology with an expected loss model known as the Current Expected Credit Loss ("CECL") model. CECL amended the previous credit loss model to reflect a reporting entity's current estimate of all expected credit losses, not only based on historical experience and current conditions, but also by including reasonable and supportable forecasts incorporating forward-looking information. The measurement of expected credit losses under CECL 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 required under ASU 2016-13 is deducted from the respective loans’ amortized cost basis on KREF's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The allowance for credit losses attributed to unfunded loan commitments is included in “Accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities” on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The guidance also required a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the reporting period of adoption. In connection with KREF’s adoption of ASU 2016-13, KREF implemented new processes including the utilization of loan loss forecasting models, updates to KREF's reserve policy documentation, changes to internal reporting processes and related internal controls. KREF has implemented loan loss forecasting models for estimating expected life-time credit losses, at the individual loan level, for its commercial real estate loan portfolio. The CECL forecasting methods used by KREF include (i) a probability of default and loss given default method using an underlying third-party CMBS/CRE loan database with historical loan losses from 1998 through 2021 and (ii) a probability weighted expected cash flow method, depending on the type of loan and the availability of relevant historical market loan loss data. KREF might use other acceptable alternative approaches in the future depending on, among other factors, the type of loan, underlying collateral and availability of relevant historical market loan loss data. KREF estimates the CECL allowance for its loan portfolio, including unfunded loan commitments, at the individual loan level. Significant inputs to KREF’s forecasting methods include (i) key loan-specific inputs such as loan-to-value ("LTV"), vintage year, loan-term, underlying property type, geographic location, and expected timing and amount of future loan fundings, (ii) performance against the underwritten business plan and KREF's internal loan risk rating and (iii) a macro-economic forecast. These estimates may change in future periods based on available future macro-economic data and might result in a material change in KREF’s future estimates of expected credit losses for its loan portfolio. KREF considers the individual loan internal risk rating as the primary credit quality indicator underlying the CECL assessment. In certain instances, KREF considers relevant loan-specific qualitative factors to certain loans to estimate its CECL allowance. KREF considers loan investments that are both (i) expected to be substantially repaid through the operation or sale of the underlying collateral, and (ii) for which the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty, to be “collateral-dependent” loans. For such loans that KREF determines that foreclosure of the collateral is probable, KREF measures the expected losses based on the difference between the fair value of the collateral and the amortized cost basis of the loan as of the measurement date. For collateral-dependent loans that KREF determines foreclosure is not probable, KREF applies a practical expedient to estimate expected losses using the difference between the collateral’s fair value (less costs to sell the asset if repayment is expected through the sale of the collateral) and t he amortized cost basis of the loan. See " Expense Recognition — Commercial Real Estate Loans, Held-For-Investment " for additional discussion regarding management’s determination for loan losses. Commercial Real Estate Loans Held-For-Sale — Loans that KREF originates or acquires, which KREF is unable to hold, or management intends to sell or otherwise dispose of, in the foreseeable future are classified as held-for-sale and are carried at the lower of amortized cost or fair value. Real Estate Owned — To maximize recovery from a defaulted loan, KREF may assume legal title or physical possession of the underlying collateral through foreclosure or the execution of a deed in lieu of foreclosure. Foreclosed properties are generally recognized at fair value in accordance with ASC 805 on KREF's consolidated balance sheets as Real Estate Owned (“REO”) when KREF assumes either legal title or physical possession. KREF’s cost basis in REO equals the estimated fair value on the acquisition date plus related acquisition costs. Any difference between the estimated fair value of the REO from the net carrying value of the related loan is recorded in “Provision for credit losses, net” in the Consolidated Statements of Income. REO assets, except for land, are depreciated using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives. Renovations and/or replacements that improve or extend the life of the REO asset are capitalized and depreciated over their estimated useful lives. The cost of ordinary repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. REO assets are evaluated for impairment on a quarterly basis. KREF considers the following factors when performing the impairment analysis: (1) significant underperformance relative to anticipated operating results; (2) significant negative industry and economic outlook or trends; (3) expected material costs necessary to extend the life or operate the REO asset; and (4) KREF’s ability to hold and dispose of the REO asset in the ordinary course of business. A REO asset is considered for impairment when the sum of estimated future undiscounted cash flows to be generated by the REO asset over the estimated remaining holding period is less than the carrying value of such REO asset. An impairment charge is recorded when the carrying value of the REO exceeds the fair value. When determining the fair value of a REO asset, KREF makes certain assumptions including, but not limited to, projected operating cash flows, comparable selling prices and projected cash flows from the eventual disposition of the REO asset. Secured Financing Agreements — KREF's secured financing agreements, including uncommitted repurchase facilities, term lending agreements, warehouse facility, asset specific financings and term loan financings, are treated as floating-rate collateralized financing arrangements carried at their contractual amounts, net of unamortized debt issuance costs (Note 5). Included within KREF's secured financing agreements is KREF's corporate revolving credit facility ("Revolver"), which is full recourse to certain guarantor wholly-owned subsidiaries of KREF. Secured Term Loan, Net — KREF records its secured term loan at its contractual amount, net of unamortized original issuance discount and deferred financing costs (Note 7) on its Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Any original issuance discount or deferred financing costs are amortized through the maturity date of the secured term loan as additional non-cash interest expense. Convertible Notes, Net — KREF accounts for its convertible debt with a cash conversion feature in accordance with ASC 470-20, Debt with Conversion and Other Options, which requires the liability and equity components of convertible debt instruments that may be settled in cash upon conversion, including partial cash settlement, to be separately accounted for in a manner that reflects the issuer’s nonconvertible debt borrowing rate. The initial proceeds from the sale of convertible notes are allocated between a liability component and an equity component in a manner that reflects interest expense at the rate of similar nonconvertible debt that could have been issued at such time. The equity component represents the excess initial proceeds received over the fair value of the liability component of the notes as of the date of issuance. KREF measured the estimated fair value of the debt component of the 6.125% convertible senior notes due May 15, 2023 (“Convertible Notes”) as of the issuance date based on KREF’s nonconvertible debt borrowing rate. The equity component of the Convertible Notes is reflected within "Additional paid-in capital" on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, and the resulting debt discount is amortized over the period during which such Convertible Notes are expected to be outstanding (through the maturity date) as additional non-cash interest expense using the interest method, or on a straight line basis when it approximates the interest method. The additional non-cash interest expense attributable to such convertible notes will increase in subsequent periods through the maturity date as the notes accrete to their par value over the same period (Note 8). Loan Participations Sold, Net — In connection with its investments in CRE loans, KREF finances certain investments through the syndication of non-recourse, or limited-recourse, loan participation to unaffiliated third parties. KREF’s presentation of the senior loan and related financing involved in the syndication depends upon whether the transaction is recognized as a sale under GAAP, though such differences in presentation do not generally impact KREF’s net stockholders’ equity or net income aside from timing differences in the recognition of certain transaction costs. To the extent that a sale is recognized under GAAP from the syndication, KREF derecognizes the participation in the senior/whole loan that KREF sold and continues to carry the retained portion of the loan as an investment. While KREF does not generally expect to recognize a material gain or loss on these sales, KREF would realize a gain or loss in an amount equal to the difference between the net proceeds received from the third party purchaser and its carrying value of the loan participation that KREF sold at time of sale. Furthermore, KREF recognizes interest income only on the portion of the loan that it retains as a result of the sale. To the extent that a sale is not recognized under GAAP from the syndication, KREF does not derecognize the participation in the senior/whole loan that it sold. Instead, KREF recognizes a loan participation sold liability in an amount equal to the principal of the loan participation syndicated less any unamortized discounts or financing costs resulting from the syndication. KREF continues to recognize interest income on the entire senior loan, including the interest attributable to the loan participation sold, as well as interest expense on the loan participation sold liability (Note 9). Other Assets and Accounts Payable, Accrued Expenses and Other Liabilities — As of March 31, 2022, other assets included $80.9 million of pre-close loan fundings into escrow for loans closed immediately after quarter-end, $4.6 million of deferred financing costs related to KREF's Revolver (Note 5), $1.7 million of restricted cash, $1.4 million of REO accounts receivable and $0.7 million of prepaid expenses. As of December 31, 2021, other assets included $2.3 million of restricted cash, $1.7 million of deferred financing costs related to KREF's Revolver, $1.4 million of interest collections held by the servicer and $1.4 million of prepaid expenses.

Also, includes CLO loan participations of $2,300.0 million and $1,246.0 million a s of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. (G) Includes one real estate corporate loan to a multifamily operator with a principal and a carrying value of $41.5 million and $41.0 million , respectively, as of March 31, 2022, and $41.1 million and $40.3 million, respectively, as of December 31, 2021. Activity — For the three months ended March 31, 2022, the loan portfolio activity was as follows: Amortized Cost Allowance for Carrying Value Balance at December 31, 2021 $ 6,316,733 $ (22,244) $ 6,294,489 Originations and future fundings, net (A) 731,886 — 731,886 Proceeds from sales and loan repayments (282,282) — (282,282) Accretion of loan discount and other amortization, net (B) 6,083 — 6,083 Payment-in-kind interest 464 — 464 (Provision for) Reversal of credit losses — 1,568 1,568 Balance at March 31, 2022 $ 6,772,884 $ (20,676) $ 6,752,208 (A) Net of applicable premiums, discounts and deferred loan origination costs. Includes fundings on previously originated loans. (B) Includes accretion of applicable discounts, certain fees and deferred loan origination costs. As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, there was $43.2 million and $41.9 million , respectively, of unamortized origination discounts and deferred fees included in "Commercial real estate loans, held-for-investment, net" on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. KREF recognized net accelerated fee income of $0.8 million and $1.0 million, respectively, during the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021. KREF may enter into loan modifications that include, among other changes, incremental capital contributions or partial repayments from certain borrowers, repurposing of reserves, and a temporary partial deferral for a portion of the coupon as payment-in-kind interest (“PIK Interest”) due, which is capitalized, compounded, and added to the outstanding principal balance of the respective loans. In January 2022, KREF received full repayment of $76.2 million on one 4-rated senior hospitality loan, including $0.2 million of deferred PIK interest. Loan Risk Ratings — As further described in Note 2, our Manager evaluates KREF's commercial real estate loan portfolio on a quarterly basis. In conjunction with the quarterly commercial real estate loan portfolio review, KREF's Manager assesses the risk factors of each loan and assigns a risk rating based on a variety of factors. Loans are rated “1” (very low risk) through “5” Impaired/Loss Likely), which ratings are defined in Note 2. The following tables summarize the carrying value of the loan portfolio based on KREF's internal risk ratings: March 31, 2022 December 31, 2021 Risk Rating Number of Loans (B) Carrying Value Total Loan Exposure (A) Total Loan Exposure % Number of Loans (B) Carrying Value Total Loan Exposure (A) Total Loan Exposure % 1 1 $ 248,860 $ 249,010 3.5 % 1 $ 243,549 $ 243,552 3.6 % 2 3 415,329 416,147 5.8 3 410,293 411,424 6.2 3 60 5,753,587 6,119,804 85.7 54 5,268,590 5,627,927 84.3 4 3 355,108 354,652 5.0 4 394,301 394,336 5.9 5 1 — — — 1 — — — Total loan receivable 68 $ 6,772,884 $ 7,139,613 100.0 % 63 $ 6,316,733 $ 6,677,239 100.0 % Allowance for credit losses (20,676) (22,244) Loan receivable, net $ 6,752,208 $ 6,294,489 (A) In certain instances, KREF finances its loans through the non-recourse sale of a senior interest that is not included in the consolidated financial statements. Total loan exposure includes the entire loan KREF originated and financed, including $323.5 million and $318.6 million of such non-consolidated interests as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. (B) Includes one impaired 5-rated mezzanine retail loan that was fully written off. As of March 31, 2022, the average risk rating of KREF's portfolio was 2.9 (Av erage Risk), weig hted by total loan exposure, consistent with that as of December 31, 2021. Loan Vintage — The following tables present the amortized cost of the loan portfolio by KREF's internal risk rating and year of origination.

The $1.6 million benefit from the reversal of credit losses during the three months ended March 31, 2021 was primarily attributable to a slightly more stable macro-economic outlook based on improved observed economic data.

Real Estate [Abstract] | |
Real Estate Owned | Real Estate Owned In 2015, KREF originated a $177.0 million senior loan secured by a retail property in Portland, Oregon. The loan had a risk rating of 5 and placed on non-accrual status in October 2020, with an amortized cost and carrying value of $109.6 million and $69.3 million, respectively, as of September 30, 2021. On December 17, 2021, KREF took title to the retail property. Such acquisition was accounted for as an asset acquisition under ASC 805. Accordingly, KREF recognized the property on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as REO with a carrying value of $78.6 million, which included the estimated fair value of the property and capitalized transaction costs. In addition, KREF assumed $2.0 million in other net assets of the REO. As a result KREF recognized an $8.2 million benefit from the reversal of credit losses, representing the difference between the carrying value of the foreclosed loan and the fair value of the REO’s net assets. The following table presents the REO assets and liabilities included on KREF's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets: March 31, 2022 December 17, 2021 (C) Assets Cash $ 2,051 $ 3,377 Real estate owned, net 78,569 78,569 In-place lease intangibles (A) 318 335 Tenant receivables (A) 1,010 — Other assets (A) 823 1,119 Total $ 82,771 $ 83,400 Liability Below-market lease intangibles (B) $ 1,734 $ 1,825 Accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities (B) 1,187 1,742 Total $ 2,921 $ 3,567 (A) Included in “Other assets” on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. (B) Included in “Accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities” on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. (C) The REO operations and related income (loss) were immaterial between the acquisition date and December 31, 2021. KREF assumed certain legacy lease arrangements upon the acquisition of the REO and entered into short-term lease arrangements during the course of the REO operations. These arrangements entitle KREF to receive contractual rent payments during the lease periods and tenant reimbursements for certain property operating expenses, including common area costs, insurance, utilities and real estate taxes. KREF elects the practical expedient to not separate the lease and non-lease components of the rent payments and accounts for these lease arrangements as operating leases. The following table presents the REO operations and related income (loss) included in KREF’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income: Three Months Ended March 31, 2022 Rental income (A) $ 2,287 Other operating income (A) 342 Expenses from real estate owned operations (2,554) Other income (B) 403 Total $ 478 (A) Included in “Revenue from real estate owned operations” on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

(E) In September 2021, the current stated maturity date was amended to September 2024, which does not reflect two twelve-month facility term extension options available to KREF, which are subject to certain covenants and thresholds. As of March 31, 2022, the collateral-based margin was betwe en 1.25% and 1.55%. (F) In December 2021, the current stated maturity was extended to December 2022, with a one-year extension option upon KREF giving written notice and another two one-year extension periods subject to approval by the lender. In addition, KREF has the option to increase the facility amount to $750.0 million. As of March 31, 2022, the collateral-based margin was be tween 1.70% and 2.20%. (G) In October 2021 , the current stated maturity date was amended to October 2022. In addition, KREF has the option to extend the maturity date to October 31, 2023, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions. As of March 31, 2022, the collateral-base margin was betwe en 1.75% and 3.20%. (H) In June 2019, KREF, through its wholly–owned subsidiary KREF Lending V LLC, entered into a Master Repurchase and Securities Contract Agreement ("KREF Lending V Facility") with Morgan Stanley Mortgage Capital Holdings LLC ("Administrative Agent"), as administrative agent on behalf of Morgan Stanley Bank, N.A. ("Initial Buyer"), which provides non-mark-to-market financing. The Initial Buyer subsequently syndicated a portion of the facility to multiple financial institutions. As of March 31, 2022, the Initial Buyer held 24.2% of the total commitment under the facility. Borrowings under the facility are collateralized by certain loans, held for investment, and bear interest equal to one-month LIBOR, plus a 1.90% margin. In March 2021, the current stated maturity was extended to June 2022, subject to four additional one-year extension options, which may be exercised by KREF upon the satisfaction of certain customary conditions and thresholds. (I) In July 2021, KREF, through its wholly–owned subsidiary KREF Lending IX LLC, entered into a $500.0 million Master Repurchase and Securities Contract Agreement with a financial institution ("KREF Lending IX Facility"). In March 2022, KREF increased the borrowing capacity to $750.0 million. The facility, which provides financing on a non-mark-to-market basis with partial recourse to KREF, has a three-year draw period and matched term to the underlying loans. As of March 31, 2022, the collateral-based margin was betwe en 1.65% and 1.75%. (J) In March 2020, KREF entered into a $500.0 million Loan and Security Agreement with HSBC Bank USA, National Association (“HSBC Facility”). The facility, which matures in March 2023, provides warehouse financing on a non-mark-to-market basis with partial recourse to KREF. (K) In August 2018, KREF entered into a $200.0 million loan financing facility with BMO Harris Bank ("BMO Facility"). The facility provides asset-based financing on a non-mark to market basis with matched-term up to five years with partial recourse to KREF. During May 2019, KREF increased the borrowing capacity to $300.0 million. (L) In December 2018, KREF entered into a $100.0 million corporate revolving credit facility (“Revolver”) administered by Morgan Stanley Senior Funding, Inc. Additional lenders were added subsequently, further increasing the Revolver borrowing capacity to $520.0 million as of March 31, 2022. The current stated maturity of the facility is March 2027 . Borrowings under the facility bear interest at a per annum rate equal to the sum of (i) a floating rate index and (ii) a fixed margin. Borrowings under this facility are full recourse to certain guarantor wholly-owned subsidiaries of KREF. As of March 31, 2022, the carrying value excluded $4.6 million unamortized d ebt issuance costs presented within "Other assets" on KREF's Condensed Consolidated B alance Sheets. As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, KREF had outstanding repurchase agreements and term lending agreements where the amount at risk with any individual counterparty, or group of related counterparties, exceeded 10.0% of KREF’s stockholders' equity. The amount at risk under these agreements is the net counterparty exposure, defined as the excess of the carrying amount (or market value, if higher than the carrying amount, for repurchase agreements) of the assets sold under agreement to repurchase, including accrued interest plus any cash or other assets on deposit to secure the repurchase obligation, over the amount of the repurchase liability, adjusted for accrued interest. The following table summarizes certain characteristics of KREF's repurchase agreements where the amount at risk with any individual counterparty, or group of related counterparties, exceeded 10.0% of KREF’s stockholders' equity as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021: Outstanding Principal Net Counterparty Exposure Percent of Stockholders' Equity Weighted Average Life (Years) (A) March 31, 2022 Wells Fargo $ 665,620 $ 228,153 13.8 % 3.1 Morgan Stanley 433,368 176,301 10.7 1.7 Total / Weighted Average $ 1,098,988 $ 404,454 24.5 % 2.5 December 31, 2021 Wells Fargo $ 980,593 $ 409,489 30.1 % 3.4 Morgan Stanley 383,592 166,426 12.2 0.8 KREF Lending V (B) 617,627 139,149 10.2 0.5 Total / Weighted Average $ 1,981,812 $ 715,064 52.5 % 2.0 (A) Average weighted by the outstanding principal of borrowings under the secured financing agreement. (B) There were multiple counterparties to the KREF Lending V Facility. Morgan Stanley Bank, N.A. represented 2.5% of the net counterparty exposure as a percent of stockholders' equity as of December 31, 2021. Debt obligations included in the tables above are obligations of KREF’s consolidated subsidiaries, which own the related collateral, and such collateral is generally not available to other creditors of KREF. While KREF is generally not required to post margin under certain repurchase agreement terms for changes in general capital market conditions such as changes in credit spreads or interest rates, KREF may be required to post margin for changes in conditions to specific loans that serve as collateral for those repurchase agreements. Such changes may include declines in the appraised value of property that secures a loan or a negative change in the borrower's ability or willingness to repay a loan. To the extent that KREF is required to post margin, KREF's liquidity could be significantly impacted. Both KREF and its lenders work cooperatively to monitor the performance of the properties and operations related to KREF's loan investments to mitigate investment-specific credit risks. Additionally, KREF incorporates terms in the loans it originates to further mitigate risks related to loan nonperformance. Term Loan Financing In April 2018, KREF, through its consolidated subsidiaries, entered into a term loan financing agreement (“Term Loan Facility”) with third party lenders for an initial borrowing capacity of $200.0 million that was subsequently increased to $1.0 billion in October 2018. The facility provides asset-based financing on a non-mark-to-market basis with matched term up to five years and is non-recourse to KREF. Borrowings under the facility are collateralized by senior loans, held-for-investment, and bear interest equal to one-month LIBOR plus a margin. The weighted average margin on the facility was 1.6% a s of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021. The following tables summarize our borrowings under the Term Loan Facility: March 31, 2022 Term Loan Facility Count Outstanding Principal Amortized Cost Carrying Value Wtd. Avg.

The Revolver expires in March 2027. Covenants — KREF is required to comply with customary loan covenants and event of default provisions related to its secured financing agreements and Revolver, including, but not limited to, negative covenants relating to restrictions on operations with respect to KREF’s status as a REIT, and financial covenants. Such financial covenants include an interest income to interest expense ratio covenant (1.5 to 1.0); a minimum consolidated tangible net worth covenant (75.0% of the aggregate cash proceeds of any equity issuances made and any capital contributions received by KREF and certain subsidiaries or up to approximately $1,309.4 million depending upon the facility); a cash liquidity covenant (the greater of $10.0 million or 5.0% of KREF's recourse indebtedness); and a total indebtedness covenant (83.3% of KREF's Total Assets, as defined in the applicable financing agreements). As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, KREF was in compliance with its financial debt covenants. In September 2020, KREF entered into a $300.0 million secured term loan at a price of 97.5%, which bears interest at a per annum rate equal to LIBOR plus a 4.75% margin, subject to a 1.0% LIBOR floor, payable quarterly beginning in December 2020. The secured term loan is partially amortizing, with an amount equal to 1.0% per annum of the principal balance due in quarterly installments starting March 31, 2021. The secured term loan matures on September 1, 2027 and contains restrictions relating to liens, asset sales, indebtedness, investments and transactions with affiliates. The secured term loan is secured by KREF level guarantees and does not include asset-based collateral. Upon the execution of the secured term loan, KREF recorded a $7.5 million issuance discount and $5.1 million in issuance costs, inclusive of $1.1 million in arrangement and structuring fees paid to KCM. In November 2021, KREF completed the repricing of $297.8 million then existing secured term loan and a $52.2 million add-on, for an aggregate principal amount of $350.0 million due September 2027, which was issued at par. The upsize of the secured term loan was accounted for as partial debt extinguishment under GAAP, accordingly, KREF recognized an accelerated deferred loan financing cost of $0.7 million during the fourth quarter of 2021. The new secured term loan bears interest at LIBOR plus 3.5% and is subject to a LIBOR floor of 0.5%. KREF recorded $2.0 million in issuance costs, inclusive of $0.8 million in arrangement and structuring fees paid to KCM. Inclusive of the amortization of the discount and issuance costs, KREF’s total cost of the secured term loan is LIBOR plus 4.1% per annum, subject to the applicable LIBOR floor, as of March 31, 2022. The following table summarizes KREF’s secured term loan at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively : March 31, 2022 December 31, 2021 Principal amount $ 349,125 $ 350,000 Unamortized discount (5,407) (5,652) Deferred financing costs (5,747) (5,799) Carrying amount $ 337,971 $ 338,549 Covenants — KREF is required to comply with customary loan covenants and event of default provisions related to its secured term loan that include, but are not limited to, negative covenants relating to restrictions on operations with respect to KREF’s status as a REIT, and financial covenants. Such financial covenants include a minimum consolidated tangible net worth of $650.0 million and a maximum Total Debt to Total Assets ratio, as defined in the secured term loan agreements, of 83.3% (the “Leverage Covenant”). KREF was in compliance with such covenants as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021. |

Collateralized Loan Obligations | Collateralized Loan Obligations In August 2021, KREF financed a pool of loan participations from its existing loan portfolio through a managed CLO ("KREF 2021-FL2"). KREF 2021-FL2 provides KREF with match-term financing on a non-mark-to-market and non-recourse basis. KREF 2021-FL2 has a two-year reinvestment feature that allows principal proceeds of the collateral assets to be reinvested in qualifying replacement assets, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions set forth in the indenture. Upon the execution of the KREF 2021-FL2, KREF recorded $8.9 million in issuance costs, inclusive of $0.9 million in structuring and placement agent fees paid to KKR Capital Markets ("KCM"), an affiliate of KREF . In February 2022, KREF financed a pool of loan participations from its existing multifamily loan portfolio through a managed CLO ("KREF 2022-FL3"). KREF 2022-FL3 provides KREF with match-term financing on a non-mark-to-market and non-recourse basis and has a two-year reinvestment feature. Upon the execution of the KREF 2022-FL3, KREF recorded $7.4 million in issuance costs, inclusive of $0.5 million in structuring and placement agent fees paid to KCM. The CLO issuance costs are netted against the outstanding principal balance of the CLO notes in "Collateralized loan obligations, net" in the Condensed Consolidated B alance Sheets.

As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the percentage of the outstanding principal of the collateral sold and not borrowed under these repurchase agreements, or average "haircut" weighted by outstanding principal of collateral, wa s 29.0% and 30.3%, respectively (or 25.4% and 25.9%, respectively, if KREF had borrowed the maximum amount approved by its repurchase agreement counterparties as of such dates). (E) In September 2021, the current stated maturity date was amended to September 2024, which does not reflect two twelve-month facility term extension options available to KREF, which are subject to certain covenants and thresholds. As of March 31, 2022, the collateral-based margin was betwe en 1.25% and 1.55%. (F) In December 2021, the current stated maturity was extended to December 2022, with a one-year extension option upon KREF giving written notice and another two one-year extension periods subject to approval by the lender. In addition, KREF has the option to increase the facility amount to $750.0 million. As of March 31, 2022, the collateral-based margin was be tween 1.70% and 2.20%. (G) In October 2021 , the current stated maturity date was amended to October 2022. In addition, KREF has the option to extend the maturity date to October 31, 2023, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions. As of March 31, 2022, the collateral-base margin was betwe en 1.75% and 3.20%. (H) In June 2019, KREF, through its wholly–owned subsidiary KREF Lending V LLC, entered into a Master Repurchase and Securities Contract Agreement ("KREF Lending V Facility") with Morgan Stanley Mortgage Capital Holdings LLC ("Administrative Agent"), as administrative agent on behalf of Morgan Stanley Bank, N.A. ("Initial Buyer"), which provides non-mark-to-market financing. The Initial Buyer subsequently syndicated a portion of the facility to multiple financial institutions. As of March 31, 2022, the Initial Buyer held 24.2% of the total commitment under the facility. Borrowings under the facility are collateralized by certain loans, held for investment, and bear interest equal to one-month LIBOR, plus a 1.90% margin. In March 2021, the current stated maturity was extended to June 2022, subject to four additional one-year extension options, which may be exercised by KREF upon the satisfaction of certain customary conditions and thresholds. (I) In July 2021, KREF, through its wholly–owned subsidiary KREF Lending IX LLC, entered into a $500.0 million Master Repurchase and Securities Contract Agreement with a financial institution ("KREF Lending IX Facility"). In March 2022, KREF increased the borrowing capacity to $750.0 million. The facility, which provides financing on a non-mark-to-market basis with partial recourse to KREF, has a three-year draw period and matched term to the underlying loans. As of March 31, 2022, the collateral-based margin was betwe en 1.65% and 1.75%. (J) In March 2020, KREF entered into a $500.0 million Loan and Security Agreement with HSBC Bank USA, National Association (“HSBC Facility”). The facility, which matures in March 2023, provides warehouse financing on a non-mark-to-market basis with partial recourse to KREF. (K) In August 2018, KREF entered into a $200.0 million loan financing facility with BMO Harris Bank ("BMO Facility"). The facility provides asset-based financing on a non-mark to market basis with matched-term up to five years with partial recourse to KREF. During May 2019, KREF increased the borrowing capacity to $300.0 million. (L) In December 2018, KREF entered into a $100.0 million corporate revolving credit facility (“Revolver”) administered by Morgan Stanley Senior Funding, Inc. Additional lenders were added subsequently, further increasing the Revolver borrowing capacity to $520.0 million as of March 31, 2022. The current stated maturity of the facility is March 2027 . Borrowings under the facility bear interest at a per annum rate equal to the sum of (i) a floating rate index and (ii) a fixed margin. Borrowings under this facility are full recourse to certain guarantor wholly-owned subsidiaries of KREF. As of March 31, 2022, the carrying value excluded $4.6 million unamortized d ebt issuance costs presented within "Other assets" on KREF's Condensed Consolidated B alance Sheets. As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, KREF had outstanding repurchase agreements and term lending agreements where the amount at risk with any individual counterparty, or group of related counterparties, exceeded 10.0% of KREF’s stockholders' equity. The amount at risk under these agreements is the net counterparty exposure, defined as the excess of the carrying amount (or market value, if higher than the carrying amount, for repurchase agreements) of the assets sold under agreement to repurchase, including accrued interest plus any cash or other assets on deposit to secure the repurchase obligation, over the amount of the repurchase liability, adjusted for accrued interest. The following table summarizes certain characteristics of KREF's repurchase agreements where the amount at risk with any individual counterparty, or group of related counterparties, exceeded 10.0% of KREF’s stockholders' equity as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021: Outstanding Principal Net Counterparty Exposure Percent of Stockholders' Equity Weighted Average Life (Years) (A) March 31, 2022 Wells Fargo $ 665,620 $ 228,153 13.8 % 3.1 Morgan Stanley 433,368 176,301 10.7 1.7 Total / Weighted Average $ 1,098,988 $ 404,454 24.5 % 2.5 December 31, 2021 Wells Fargo $ 980,593 $ 409,489 30.1 % 3.4 Morgan Stanley 383,592 166,426 12.2 0.8 KREF Lending V (B) 617,627 139,149 10.2 0.5 Total / Weighted Average $ 1,981,812 $ 715,064 52.5 % 2.0 (A) Average weighted by the outstanding principal of borrowings under the secured financing agreement. (B) There were multiple counterparties to the KREF Lending V Facility. Morgan Stanley Bank, N.A. represented 2.5% of the net counterparty exposure as a percent of stockholders' equity as of December 31, 2021. Debt obligations included in the tables above are obligations of KREF’s consolidated subsidiaries, which own the related collateral, and such collateral is generally not available to other creditors of KREF. While KREF is generally not required to post margin under certain repurchase agreement terms for changes in general capital market conditions such as changes in credit spreads or interest rates, KREF may be required to post margin for changes in conditions to specific loans that serve as collateral for those repurchase agreements. Such changes may include declines in the appraised value of property that secures a loan or a negative change in the borrower's ability or willingness to repay a loan. To the extent that KREF is required to post margin, KREF's liquidity could be significantly impacted. Both KREF and its lenders work cooperatively to monitor the performance of the properties and operations related to KREF's loan investments to mitigate investment-specific credit risks. Additionally, KREF incorporates terms in the loans it originates to further mitigate risks related to loan nonperformance. Term Loan Financing In April 2018, KREF, through its consolidated subsidiaries, entered into a term loan financing agreement (“Term Loan Facility”) with third party lenders for an initial borrowing capacity of $200.0 million that was subsequently increased to $1.0 billion in October 2018. The facility provides asset-based financing on a non-mark-to-market basis with matched term up to five years and is non-recourse to KREF. Borrowings under the facility are collateralized by senior loans, held-for-investment, and bear interest equal to one-month LIBOR plus a margin. The weighted average margin on the facility was 1.6% a s of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021. The following tables summarize our borrowings under the Term Loan Facility: March 31, 2022 Term Loan Facility Count Outstanding Principal Amortized Cost Carrying Value Wtd. Avg.

KREF's net interest rate exposure is in direct proportion to its interest in the net assets indexed to that rate. In addition to cash coupon, yield/cost includes the amortization of deferred origination/financing costs. (B) Financing under the Term Loan Facility is non-recourse to KREF. (C) The weighted-average term is weighted by outstanding principal, using the maximum maturity date of the underlying loans assuming all extension options are exercised by the borrower. Activity — For the three months ended March 31, 2022, the activity related to the carrying value of KREF’s secured financing agreements were as follows: Secured Financing Agreements, Net Balance as of December 31, 2021 $ 3,726,593 Principal borrowings 479,329 Principal repayments/sales (1,171,393) Deferred debt issuance costs (1,479) Amortization of deferred debt issuance costs 2,180 Balance as of March 31, 2022 $ 3,035,230 Maturities — KREF’s secured financing agreements, term loan financing and other consolidated debt obligations in place as of March 31, 2022 had contractual maturities as follows: Year Nonrecourse Recourse (A) Total 2022 $ 531,704 $ 59,015 $ 590,719 2023 924,332 207,970 1,132,302 2024 433,405 91,270 524,675 2025 331,923 110,641 442,564 Thereafter 287,748 67,821 355,569 $ 2,509,112 $ 536,717 $ 3,045,829 (A) Except for the Revolver, which is full recourse, amounts borrowed subject to a maximum 25.0% recourse limit. The Revolver expires in March 2027. Covenants — KREF is required to comply with customary loan covenants and event of default provisions related to its secured financing agreements and Revolver, including, but not limited to, negative covenants relating to restrictions on operations with respect to KREF’s status as a REIT, and financial covenants. Such financial covenants include an interest income to interest expense ratio covenant (1.5 to 1.0); a minimum consolidated tangible net worth covenant (75.0% of the aggregate cash proceeds of any equity issuances made and any capital contributions received by KREF and certain subsidiaries or up to approximately $1,309.4 million depending upon the facility); a cash liquidity covenant (the greater of $10.0 million or 5.0% of KREF's recourse indebtedness); and a total indebtedness covenant (83.3% of KREF's Total Assets, as defined in the applicable financing agreements). As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, KREF was in compliance with its financial debt covenants. In September 2020, KREF entered into a $300.0 million secured term loan at a price of 97.5%, which bears interest at a per annum rate equal to LIBOR plus a 4.75% margin, subject to a 1.0% LIBOR floor, payable quarterly beginning in December 2020. The secured term loan is partially amortizing, with an amount equal to 1.0% per annum of the principal balance due in quarterly installments starting March 31, 2021. The secured term loan matures on September 1, 2027 and contains restrictions relating to liens, asset sales, indebtedness, investments and transactions with affiliates. The secured term loan is secured by KREF level guarantees and does not include asset-based collateral. Upon the execution of the secured term loan, KREF recorded a $7.5 million issuance discount and $5.1 million in issuance costs, inclusive of $1.1 million in arrangement and structuring fees paid to KCM. In November 2021, KREF completed the repricing of $297.8 million then existing secured term loan and a $52.2 million add-on, for an aggregate principal amount of $350.0 million due September 2027, which was issued at par. The upsize of the secured term loan was accounted for as partial debt extinguishment under GAAP, accordingly, KREF recognized an accelerated deferred loan financing cost of $0.7 million during the fourth quarter of 2021. The new secured term loan bears interest at LIBOR plus 3.5% and is subject to a LIBOR floor of 0.5%. KREF recorded $2.0 million in issuance costs, inclusive of $0.8 million in arrangement and structuring fees paid to KCM. Inclusive of the amortization of the discount and issuance costs, KREF’s total cost of the secured term loan is LIBOR plus 4.1% per annum, subject to the applicable LIBOR floor, as of March 31, 2022. The following table summarizes KREF’s secured term loan at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively : March 31, 2022 December 31, 2021 Principal amount $ 349,125 $ 350,000 Unamortized discount (5,407) (5,652) Deferred financing costs (5,747) (5,799) Carrying amount $ 337,971 $ 338,549 Covenants — KREF is required to comply with customary loan covenants and event of default provisions related to its secured term loan that include, but are not limited to, negative covenants relating to restrictions on operations with respect to KREF’s status as a REIT, and financial covenants. Such financial covenants include a minimum consolidated tangible net worth of $650.0 million and a maximum Total Debt to Total Assets ratio, as defined in the secured term loan agreements, of 83.3% (the “Leverage Covenant”).

Convertible Notes, Net | Convertible Notes, Net In May 2018, KREF issued $143.75 million of Convertible Notes, which bear interest at a rate of 6.125% per year, payable semi-annually in arrears on May 15 and November 15 of each year, beginning on November 15, 2018. The Convertible Notes mature on May 15, 2023, unless earlier repurchased or converted. The Convertible Notes’ issuance costs of $5.1 million are amortized through interest expense over the life of the Convertible Notes. The initial conversion rate for the Convertible Notes is 43.9386 shares of KREF’s common stock per $1,000 principal amount of Notes, which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $22.76 per share of KREF’s common stock, which represents a 10% conversion premium over the last reported sale price of $20.69 per share of KREF’s common stock on the New York Stock Exchange on May 15, 2018. The conversion rate is subject to adjustment under certain circumstances. In addition, upon a make-whole fundamental change as defined within the indenture governing the Convertible Notes, KREF will, under certain circumstances, increase the applicable conversion rate for a holder that elects to convert its Notes in connection with such make-whole fundamental change. Prior to February 15, 2023, the Convertible Notes will be convertible only upon satisfaction of certain conditions and during certain periods, and there after, at any time until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date. KREF will satisfy any conversion elections by paying or delivering, as the case may be, cash, shares of KREF’s common stock or a combination of cash and shares of KREF’s common stock, at its election. Upon the issuance of the Convertible Notes, KREF recorded a $1.8 million discount based on the implied value of the conversion option and an assumed effective interest rate of 6.50%, as well as $5.1 million of initial issuance costs, inclusive of $0.8 million paid to KCM. Inclusive of the amortization of this discount and the issuance costs, KREF’s total cost of the May 2018 Convertible Notes issuance is 6.92% per annum. The following table details the carrying value of the Convertible Notes on KREF's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets: March 31, 2022 December 31, 2021 Principal $ 143,750 $ 143,750 Deferred financing costs (1,152) (1,405) Unamortized discount (405) (494) Carrying value $ 142,193 $ 141,851 The following table details the interest expense related to the Convertible Notes: Three Months Ended March 31, 2022 2021 Cash coupon $ 2,201 $ 2,201 Discount and issuance cost amortization 342 342 Total interest expense $ 2,543 $ 2,543 Accrued interest payable for the Convertible Notes was $3.3 million and $1.1 million as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

Loan Participations Sold | Loan Participations Sold KREF finances certain loan investments through the syndication of a non-recourse, or limited-recourse, loan participations to unaffiliated third parties. In October 2019, KREF syndicated a $65.0 million vertical participation in one of its loan investments with a principal balance of $328.5 million to an unaffiliated third party, at par value. In June 2020, KREF increased the maximum loan amount by $6.5 million and syndicated an additional $1.2 million vertical participation to the same third party. Such syndications did not qualify for "sale" accounting under GAAP and therefore were consolidated in KREF's condensed consolidated financial statements. In September 2021, KREF fully repaid the $66.2 million vertical loan participation in connection with the payoff of the underlying loan. |

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] | |
Variable Interest Entities | Variable Interest Entities Collateralized Loan Obligations — KREF is the primary beneficiary of its consolidated CLOs (Note 6). Management considers the CLO Issuers, wholly-owned subsidiaries of KREF, to be the primary beneficiary as the CLO Issuers have the ability to control the most significant activities of the CLO, the obligation to absorb losses, and the right to receive benefits of the CLO through the subordinate interests the CLO Issuers own. Real Estate Owned Joint Venture — Concurrently with taking title of KREF’s sole REO asset, KREF contributed the REO to a joint venture with a third party local developer operator (“JV Partner”), whereby KREF has a 90% interest in the joint venture and the JV Partner has a 10% interest. Management determined the joint venture to be a VIE as the joint venture has insufficient equity-at-risk and concluded that KREF is the primary beneficiary of the joint venture as KREF holds decision-making power over the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the joint venture and has the obligation to absorb losses of, or the right to receive benefits from, the joint venture that could be potentially significant to the joint venture. As of March 31, 2022, the joint venture held REO assets with a net carrying value of $68.9 million . KREF had priority of distributions up to $68.8 million before the JV Partner can participate in the economics of the joint venture. Equity Method Investments As of March 31, 2022, KREF held a 3.5% interest in RECOP I, an unconsolidated VIE of which KREF is not the primary beneficiary, at its fair value of $36.6 million . The aggregator vehicle in which KREF invests is controlled and advised by affiliates of the Manager. RECOP I primarily acquired junior tranches of CMBS newly issued by third parties. KREF will not pay any fees to RECOP I, but KREF bears its pro rata share of RECOP I's expenses. KREF reported its share of the net asset value of RECOP I in its Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, presented as “Equity method investments” and its share of net income, presented as “Income from equity method investments” in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. KREF, through a Taxable REIT Subsidiary ("TRS"), held non-voting limited liability company interests issued by the Manager ("Non-Voting Manager Units"), a VIE, for the benefit of the holder of the SNVPS (Note 11). KREF reported its share of net income, presented as “Income from equity method investments” in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. On October 1, 2021, KREF TRS redeemed its interest in the Manager for a cash call amount of $5.1 million when the KKR Member exercised its Call Option to redeem the Non-Voting Manager Units, including the Non-Voting Manager Units held by KREF TRS. |

Restrictions placed on the transfer and ownership of shares relate to KREF's REIT qualification requirements. Common Stock — As further described below, since December 2015, KREF issued the following shares of common stock: Pricing Date Shares Issued (A) Net Proceeds As of December 31, 2015 13,636,416 $ 272,728 February 2016 2,000,000 40,000 May 2016 3,000,138 57,130 June 2016 (B) 21,838 — August 2016 5,500,000 109,875 As of December 31, 2016 24,158,392 $ 479,733 February 2017 7,386,208 147,662 April 2017 10,379,738 207,595 May 2017 - Initial Public Offering 11,787,500 219,356 As of December 31, 2017 53,711,838 $ 1,054,346 August 2018 5,000,000 98,326 November 2018 500,000 9,351 As of December 31, 2018 59,211,838 $ 1,162,023 November 2021 5,000,000 108,800 November 2021 (C) 1 — November 2021 547,361 11,911 As of December 31, 2021 64,759,200 $ 1,282,734 February 2022 68,817 1,426 March 2022 6,494,155 133,845 As of March 31, 2022 71,322,172 $ 1,418,005 (A) Excludes 511,858 net shares of common stock issued in connection with vested restricted stock units. (B) KREF did not receive any proceeds with respect to 21,838 shares of common stock issued to certain current and former employees of, and non-employee consultants to, KKR and third-party investors in the private placement completed in March 2016, in accordance with KREF's Stockholders Agreement dated as of March 29, 2016. (C) KREF did not receive any proceeds with respect to 1 share of common stock issued to KKR in connection with the conversion of the special voting preferred stock, in accordance with KREF’s Articles of Restatement dated as of May 10, 2017. In May 2021, KKR sold 5,750,000 shares of KREF common stock through a secondary offering, including the exercise of the underwriters' option to purchase additional common shares, and received all of the $100.4 million net proceeds from the offering. On November 1, 2021, KKR converted its special voting preferred stock into one share of KREF common stock when KREF issued 5,000,000 shares of common stock, resulting in KKR’s ownership to decrease below 25.0% of KREF’s outstanding common stock. KKR and affiliates beneficially owned 14,250,001 and 14,250,001 shares, or 21.0% and 23.2% of KREF's outstanding common stock as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. In March 2022, KREF issued 6,494,155 shares of Common Stock in an underwritten offering, which included the partial exercise of the underwriters’ option to purchase additional shares of Common Stock, and received net proceeds after underwriting discounts and commissions of $133.8 million. During the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, no common stock was issued related to the vesting of restricted stock units. Upon any payment of shares as a result of restricted stock unit vesting, the related tax withholding obligation will generally be satisfied by KREF, reducing the number of shares to be delivered by a number of shares necessary to satisfy the related applicable tax withholding obligation. Refer to Note 12 for further detail. Of t he 71,834,030 comm on shares KREF issued, there were 67,933,704 common shares outstanding as of March 31, 2022, which includ es 511,858 net sh ares of common stock issued in connection with vested restricted stock units and is net of 3,900,326 common shares repurchased. Share Repurchase Program — Under the Company’s current share repurchase program, which has no expiration date, the Company may repurchase up to $100.0 million of its common stock beginning July 1, 2020, of which up to $50.0 million may be repurchased under a pre-set trading plan meeting the requirements of Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act, and provide for repurchases of common stock when the market price per share is below book value per share (calculated in accordance with GAAP as of the end of the most recent quarterly period for which financial statements are available), and the remaining $50.0 million may be used for repurchases in the open market, pursuant to pre-set trading plans meeting the requirements of Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act, in privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. The timing, manner, price and amount of any common stock repurchases will be determined by the Company in its discretion and will depend on a variety of factors, including legal requirements, price and economic and market conditions. The program does not require the Company to repurchase any specific number of shares of common stock, and the program may be suspended, extended, modified or discontinued at any time. KREF did not repurchase any of its common stock during the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021. As of March 31, 2022, KREF had $100.0 million of remaining capacity to repurchase shares under the program. At the Market Stock Offering Program — On February 22, 2019, KREF entered into an equity distribution agreement with certain sales agents, pursuant to which KREF may sell, from time to time, up to an aggregate sales price of $100.0 million of its common stock pursuant to a continuous offering program (the “ATM”). Sales of KREF’s common stock made pursuant to the ATM may be made in negotiated transactions or transactions that are deemed to be “at the market” offerings as defined in Rule 415 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The timing and amount of actual sales will depend on a variety of factors including market conditions, the trading price of KREF’s common stock, KREF’s capital needs, and KREF’s determination of the appropriate sources of funding to meet such needs. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, KREF issued and sold 68,817 shares of common stock under the ATM, generating net proceeds totaling $1.4 million. As of March 31, 2022, $98.6 million remained available for issuance under the ATM. Special Voting Preferred Stock — In March 2016, KREF issued one share of special voting preferred stock to KKR Fund Holdings L.P. ("KKR Fund Holdings") for $20.00 per share, which KKR Fund Holdings transferred to its subsidiary, KKR REFT Asset Holdings LLC. The holder of the special voting preferred stock had special voting rights related to the election of members to KREF's board of directors until KKR and its affiliates ceased to own at least 25.0% of KREF's issued and outstanding common stock. On November 1, 2021, KREF issued 5,000,000 shares of common stock, which resulted in KKR’s ownership decreasing below 25.0% of KREF’s outstanding common stock. Accordingly, KKR converted its special voting preferred share into one share of KREF common stock and ceased to possess its special voting rights related to the election of members to KREF's board of directors. Special Non-Voting Preferred Stock — In connection with KREF's initial investors’ subscription for shares of KREF's common stock in the private placements prior to the initial public offering of KREF's equity on May 5, 2017, those investors were also allocated a class of non-voting limited liability company interest in the Manager ("Non-Voting Manager Units"). In February 2017, KREF issued an investor one share of SNVPS, at $0.01 per share, in lieu of that investor receiving Non-Voting Manager Units to facilitate compliance by the investor with regulatory requirements applicable to it. The corresponding Non-Voting Manager Units were held by a wholly-owned TRS of KREF ("KREF TRS"). All distributions received by KREF TRS from these Non-Voting Manager Units were passed through to the investor as preferred distributions on its SNVPS, less applicable taxes and withholdings. Except for the Non-Voting Manager Units, an indirect subsidiary of KKR ("KKR Member"), owned and controlled the limited liability company interests of the Manager. Dividends on the SNVPS were payable quarterly, and accrued whether or not KREF had earnings, there were assets legally available for the payment of those dividends or those dividends had been declared. Any dividend payment made on the SNVPS would first be credited against the earliest accumulated but unpaid dividend due with respect to the SNVPS. Upon redemption of the SNVPS or liquidation of KREF, the holder of the SNVPS was entitled to payment of $0.01 per share, together with any accumulated but unpaid preferred distributions, including respective call or put amounts, before any holder of junior security interests, which included KREF's common stock. As KREF did not control the circumstances under which the holder of the SNVPS could redeem its interests, management considered the SNVPS as temporary equity (Note 2). KREF was required to redeem the SNVPS at the option of the holder at any time or upon the redemption by the KKR Member of the Non-Voting Manager Units (the "Call Option"). Upon redemption, KREF paid a price in cash equal to $0.01 per share of the SNVPS, together with any accumulated but unpaid preferred distributions, including respective call or put amounts, and the SNVPS was canceled automatically and ceased to be outstanding. Concurrently, upon redemption of the SNVPS, the KKR Member acquired from KREF TRS its respective Non-Voting Manager Units, resulting in a one-time gain, thus substantially eliminating the historical cumulative impact of the SNVPS redemption value adjustments recorded in KREF's permanent equity. On October 1, 2021, the KKR Member exercised its Call Option to redeem the Non-Voting Manager Units, including the Non-Voting Manager Units held by KREF TRS. Accordingly, KREF TRS received a cash call amount of $5.1 million and KREF concurrently redeemed the SNVPS, which resulted in book value accretion in the fourth quarter of $2.6 million, or $0.05 per common share, thus eliminating the cumulative negative impact of the SNPVS on book value. 6.50% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock — In April 2021 and January 2022, KREF issued 6,900,000 and 6,210,000 shares of 6.50% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock (the “Series A Preferred Stock”), which included the exercise of the underwriters' option to purchase additional shares of Series A Preferred Stock, and received net proceeds after underwriting discount and commission of $167.1 million and $151.2 million, respectively. The perpetual Series A Preferred Stock is redeemable, at KREF's option, at a liquidation price of $25.00 per share plus accrued and unpaid dividends commencing in April 2026. Dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock are payable quarterly at a rate of 6.50% per annum of the $25.00 liquidation preference, which is equivalent to $1.625 per annum per share. With respect to dividend rights and liquidation, the Series A Preferred Stock ranks senior to KREF's common stock. Noncontrolling Interests — Noncontrolling interests represent a third party’s 10.0% interest in a joint venture, a consolidated VIE, that holds portion of KREF’s sole REO investment. KREF and the noncontrolling interest holder contribute to the joint venture’s ongoing operating shortfalls and capital expenditures on a pari passu basis. Distributions from the joint venture are allocated between KREF and the noncontrolling interest holder based on contractual terms and waterfalls as outlined in the joint venture agreement. Dividends — During the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, KREF's board of directors declared the following dividends on shares of its common stock and special voting preferred stock: Amount Declaration Date Record Date Payment Date Per Share Total 2022 March 15, 2022 March 31, 2022 April 15, 2022 $ 0.43 $ 29,211 $ 29,211 2021 March 15, 2021 March 31, 2021 April 15, 2021 $ 0.43 $ 23,916 $ 23,916 During the three months ended March 31, 2022, KREF's board of directors declared the following dividends on shares of its Series A Preferred Stock: Amount Declaration Date Record Date Payment Date Per Share Total 2022 February 1, 2022 February 28, 2022 March 15, 2022 $ 0.41 $ 5,326 $ 5,326 |

Share-based Payment Arrangement [Abstract] | |
Stock-based Compensation | Stock-based Compensation KREF is externally managed by the Manager and does not currently have any employees. However, as of March 31, 2022, certain individuals employed by the Manager and affiliates of the Manager and certain members of KREF's board of directors were compensated, in part, through the issuance of stock-based awards. As of March 31, 2022, KREF had restricted stock unit (“RSU”) awards outstanding under the KKR Real Estate Finance Trust Inc. 2016 Omnibus Incentive Plan that was adopted on February 12, 2016 and amended and restated on November 17, 2016 (the "Incentive Plan") to certain members of KREF’s board of directors and employees of the Manager or its affiliates, none of whom are KREF employees. RSUs awarded to employees of the Manager or its affiliates, generally vest over three consecutive one-year periods and awards to certain members of KREF's board of directors generally vest over a one-year period, pursuant to the terms of the respective award agreements and the terms of the Incentive Plan. In December 2021, KREF's board of directors granted 400,000 shares of RSU awards that are entitled to nonforfeitable dividends during the vesting periods, at the same rate as those declared on the common stock. In February 2022, KREF's board of directors approved a modification that entitled the unvested RSU awards granted prior to December 2021 to dividends during the vesting periods, at the same rate as those declared on the common stock, starting with the first quarter of 2022. The following table summarizes the activity in KREF’s outstanding RSUs and the weighted-average grant date fair value per RSU: Restricted Stock Units Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value Per RSU (A) Unvested as of December 31, 2021 808,330 $ 19.50 Granted — — Vested — — Forfeited / cancelled — — Unvested as of March 31, 2022 808,330 $ 19.50 (A) The grant-date fair value is based upon the closing price of KREF’s common stock at the date of grant. KREF expects the unvested RSUs outstanding to vest during the following years: Year Restricted Stock Units 2022 402,494 2023 272,489 2024 133,347 Total 808,330 KREF recognizes the compensation cost of RSUs awarded to employees of the Manager, or one or more of its affiliates, on a straight-line basis over the awards’ term at their grant date fair value, consistent with the RSUs awarded to certain members of KREF's board of directors. During the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, KREF recognized $2.1 million and $2.0 million , respectively, of stock-based compensation expense included in “General and administrative” expense in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. As of March 31, 2022, there was $12.1 million of total unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to unvested share-based compensation arrangements. This cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.1 years . During the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, KREF declared $0.3 million and $0.0 million , respectively, of nonforfeitable dividends on employee RSUs during the vesting period. Such nonforfeitable dividends were deducted from “Retained earnings (Accumulated deficit)” in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Changes in Stockholders' Equity. Upon any payment of shares as a result of restricted stock unit vesting, the related tax withholding obligation will generally be satisfied by KREF, reducing the number of shares to be delivered by a number of shares necessary to satisfy the related applicable tax withholding obligation. The amount results in a cash payment related to this tax liability and a corresponding reduction to additional paid-in capital in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Changes in Stockholders' Equity. No shares were delivered for vested RSUs during the three months ended March 31, 2022. Refer to Note 15 for additional information regarding the Incentive Plan. |

Earnings Per Share [Abstract] | |
Earnings (Loss) per Share | Earnings (Loss) per Share Earnings (Loss) per Share — KREF calculates its basic EPS using the two-class method, which defines unvested share-based payment awards that contain nonforfeitable rights to dividends as participating securities. Under the two-class method earnings (distributed and undistributed) are allocated to common shares and participating securities based on their respective rights. Basic EPS, is calculated by dividing net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average common stock outstanding for the period. KREF presents diluted EPS under the more dilutive of the treasury stock and if-converted methods or the two-class method. Under the treasury stock and if-converted methods, the denominator includes weighted average common stock outstanding plus the incremental dilutive shares issuable from restricted stock units and an assumed conversion of the Convertible Notes. The numerator includes any changes in income (loss) that would result from the assumed conversion of these potential shares of common stock. For the three months ended March 31, 2022, 6,316,174 potentially issuable shares related to the Convertible Notes were included in the dilutive EPS denominator after the adoption of ASU 2020-06. For the three months ended March 31, 2021, all potentially issuable shares related to the Convertible Notes were excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS because KREF had the intent and ability to settle the Convertible Notes in cash. The following table illustrates the computation of basic and diluted EPS for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021: Three Months Ended March 31, 2022 2021 Basic Earnings Net Income (Loss) $ 35,468 $ 30,092 Less: Preferred stock dividends and redemption value adjustment 5,326 908 Less: Participating securities' share in earnings 346 — Net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders $ 29,796 $ 29,184 Diluted Earnings Net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders $ 29,796 $ 29,184 Add: Interest expense attributable to the Convertible Notes 2,201 — Less: Reallocation of undistributed earnings to participating securities (25) — Net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders, diluted $ 31,972 $ 29,184 Denominator Basic weighted average common shares outstanding 63,086,452 55,619,428 Dilutive shares under assumed conversion of the Convertible Notes 6,316,174 — Dilutive restricted stock units — 111,633 Diluted weighted average common shares outstanding 69,402,626 55,731,061 Net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders, per: Basic common share $ 0.47 $ 0.52 Diluted common share $ 0.46 $ 0.52 For the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, 181,560 and zero weighted average unvested RSUs, respectively, were excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS because the effect was anti-dilutive. |

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Commitments and Contingencies | Commitments and Contingencies As of March 31, 2022, KREF was subject to the following commitments and contingencies: Litigation — From time to time, KREF may be involved in various claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. KREF establishes an accrued liability for legal proceedings only when those matters present loss contingencies that are both probable and reasonably estimable. As of March 31, 2022, KREF was not involved in any material legal proceedings regarding claims or legal actions against KREF. Indemnifications — In the normal course of business, KREF enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties that provide general indemnifications and other indemnities relating to contractual performance. In addition, certain of KREF’s subsidiaries have provided certain indemnities relating to environmental and other matters and has provided nonrecourse carve-out guarantees for fraud, willful misconduct and other customary wrongful acts, each in connection with the financing of certain real estate investments that KREF has made. KREF’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against KREF that have not yet occurred. However, KREF expects the risk of material loss to be low. Capital Commitments — As of March 31, 2022, KREF had future funding commitments of $1,449.1 million related to its investments in commercial real estate loans. These future funding commitments primarily relate to construction projects, capital improvements, tenant improvements and leasing commissions. Generally, funding commitments are subject to certain conditions that must be met, such as customary construction draw certifications, minimum credit metrics or executions of new leases before advances are made to the borrower. In January 2017, KREF committed $40.0 million to invest in an aggregator vehicle alongside RECOP I. The two-year investment period for RECOP I ended in April 2019. As of March 31, 2022, KREF had a remaining commitment of $4.3 million to RECOP I. Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic — Although the global economy has, with certain setbacks, begun reopening and wider distribution of vaccines will likely encourage greater economic activity, KREF is unable to predict how widely utilized the vaccines will be, whether they will be effective in preventing the spread of COVID-19 (including its variant strains), and the time required for a widespread sustainable economic recovery to take hold. Accordingly, the full extent of the impact of COVID-19 on the global economy generally, and on KREF’s business and on the businesses of KREF’s borrowers, in particular, is uncertain. However, to the extent COVID-19 continues to cause dislocations in the global economy, our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows may be adversely impacted. Refer to “Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” for further discussion regarding COVID-19. |

Related Party Transactions [Abstract] | |
Related Party Transactions | Related Party Transactions Management Agreement — The Management Agreement between KREF and the Manager is a three-year agreement that provides for automatic one-year renewal periods starting October 8, 2017, subject to certain termination and nonrenewal rights, which in the case of KREF are exercisable by a two-thirds vote by the independent directors of KREF's board of directors. If the independent directors of KREF's board of directors decline to renew the Management Agreement other than for cause, KREF is required to pay the Manager a termination fee equal to three times the total 24-month trailing average annual management fee and incentive compensation earned by the Manager through the most recently completed calendar quarter. For administrative efficiency purposes, the Management Agreement was amended in August 2019 to change the expiration date of each automatic renewal period from October 7th to December 31st. Pursuant to the Management Agreement, the Manager, as agent to KREF and under the supervision of KREF's board of directors, manages the investments, subject to investment guidelines approved by KREF's board of directors; financing activities; and day-to-day business and affairs of KREF and its subsidiaries. For its services to KREF, the Manager is entitled to a quarterly management fee equal to the greater of $62,500 or 0.375% of weighted average adjusted equity and quarterly incentive compensation equal to 20.0% of the excess of (a) the trailing 12-month distributable earnings (before incentive compensation payable to the Manager) over (b) 7.0% of the trailing 12-month weighted average adjusted equity (“Hurdle Rate”), less incentive compensation KREF already paid to the Manager with respect to the first three calendar quarters of such trailing 12-month period. The quarterly incentive compensation is calculated and paid in arrears with a one-quarter lag. Adjusted equity generally represents the proceeds received by KREF and its subsidiaries from equity issuances, without duplication and net of offering costs, and distributable earnings, reduced by distributions, equity repurchases, and incentive compensation paid. Distributable earnings generally represent the net income, or loss, attributable to equity interests in KREF and its subsidiaries, without duplication, as well as realized losses not otherwise included in such net income, or loss, excluding non-cash equity compensation expense, incentive compensation, depreciation and amortization and unrealized gains or losses, from and after the effective date to the end of the most recently completed calendar quarter. KREF's board of directors, after majority approval by independent directors, may also exclude one-time events pursuant to changes in GAAP and certain material non-cash income or expense items from distributable earnings. For purposes of calculating incentive compensation, adjusted equity excludes: (i) the effects of equity issued by KREF and its subsidiaries that provides for fixed distributions or other debt characteristics and (ii) unrealized provision for (reversal of) credit losses. KREF is also required to reimburse the Manager or its affiliates for documented costs and expenses incurred by it and its affiliates on behalf of KREF, except those specifically required to be borne by the Manager under the Management Agreement. The Manager is responsible for, and KREF does not reimburse the Manager or its affiliates for, the expenses related to investment personnel of the Manager and its affiliates who provide services to KREF. However, KREF does reimburse the Manager for KREF's allocable share of compensation paid to certain of the Manager’s non-investment personnel, based on the percentage of time devoted by such personnel to KREF's affairs. Incentive Plan — KREF's compensation committee or board of directors may administer the Incentive Plan, which provides for awards of stock options; stock appreciation rights; restricted stock; RSUs; limited partnership interests of KKR Real Estate Finance Holdings L.P. (the "Operating Partnership"), a wholly owned subsidiary of KREF, that are directly or indirectly convertible into or exchangeable or redeemable for shares of KREF's common stock pursuant to the limited partnership agreement of the Operating Partnership (“OP Interests”); awards payable by (i) delivery of KREF's common stock or other equity interests, or (ii) reference to the value of KREF's common stock or other equity interests, including OP Interests; cash-based awards; or performance compensation awards. No more than 7.5% of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock on a fully diluted basis, assuming the exercise of all outstanding stock options granted under the Incentive Plan and the conversion of all warrants and convertible securities into shares of common stock, or a total of 4,028,387 shares of common stock, will be available for awards under the Incentive Plan. In addition, (i) the maximum number of shares of common stock subject to awards granted during a single fiscal year to any non-employee director (as defined in the Incentive Plan), taken together with any cash fees paid to such non-employee director during the fiscal year, may not exceed $1.0 million and (ii) the maximum amount that can be paid to any participant for a single fiscal year during a performance period (or with respect to each single fiscal year if a performance period extends beyond a single fiscal year) pursuant to a performance compensation award denominated in cash may not exceed $10.0 million. No awards may be granted under the Incentive Plan on and after February 12, 2026. The Incentive Plan will continue to apply to awards granted prior to such date. During the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, no awards were granted to KREF's directors and employees of the Manager. As of March 31, 2022, 2,708,199 shar es of common stock remained available for awards under the Incentive Plan. Due to Affiliates — The following table contains the amounts presented in KREF's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets that it owes to affiliates: March 31, 2022 December 31, 2021 Management fees $ 6,007 $ 5,289 Expense reimbursements and other (A) 2,661 663 $ 8,668 $ 5,952 (A) Includes $2.6 million and $0.6 million of accrued KCM fees as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. Affiliates Expenses — The following table contains the amounts included in KREF's Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income that arose from transactions with the Manager: Three Months Ended March 31, 2022 2021 Management fees $ 6,007 $ 4,290 Incentive compensation — 2,192 Expense reimbursements and other (A) 726 352 $ 6,733 $ 6,834 (A) KREF presents these amounts in "General and administrative" in its Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. Affiliate expense reimbursements presented in the table above exclude the out-of-pocket amounts paid by the Manager to parties unaffiliated with the Manager on behalf of KREF , and for which KREF reimburses the Manager in cash. For the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, these cash reimbursements totaled $0.8 million and $2.1 million, respectively. In connection with the ATM, KCM, in its capacity as one of the sales agents, will receive commissions for the shares of KREF’s common stock it sells. This amount is not to exceed, but may be less than, 2.0% of the gross sales price per share. KREF sold 68,817 shares under the ATM through a third-party broker and did not incur or pay any commissions to KCM during the three months ended March 31, 2022. In connection with the HSBC Facility entered into in March 2020, and in consideration for structuring and sourcing this arrangement, KREF is obligated to pay KCM a structuring fee equal to 0.25% of the respective committed loan advances under the agreement. Such fees are capitalized as deferred financing cost and amortized to interest expense over the lesser of the initial term of the loan or the facility. During the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, KREF did not incur or pay any KCM structuring fees in connection with the facility. In connection with the secured term loan, and in consideration for structuring and arranging the loan, KREF paid KCM a $1.1 million arrangement and structuring fee equal to 0.37% of the principal amount of the secured term loan in the third quarter of 2020. In addition, KREF paid KCM a $0.8 million arrangement and structuring fee in connection with the secured term loan repricing and upsize in the fourth quarter of 2021. Such fees were capitalized as deferred financing cost and amortized to interest expense over the life of the secured term loan. In connection with the syndication of a senior mortgage loan in February 2021, and in consideration for its services as the placement agent, KREF paid KCM a $0.4 million placement agent fee equal to 0.25% of KREF’s proportionate share of the senior loan commitment. Such fee was capitalized as a direct loan origination cost and amortized to interest income over the life of the loan. In connection with the Series A Preferred Stock issuance in April 2021 and January 2022, and in consideration for its services as joint bookrunner, KREF incurred and paid KCM a $1.6 million and $1.3 million in underwriting discount and commission, respectively. The underwriting discount and commission was settled net of the preferred stock issuance proceeds and recorded as a reduction to additional paid-in-capital in KREF's condensed consolidated financial statements. In connection with the KREF Lending IX Facility entered into in July 2021, and in consideration for structuring and sourcing this arrangement, KREF is obligated to pay KCM a structuring fee equal to 0.75% of the respective committed loan advances under the agreement. Such fees are capitalized as deferred financing cost and amortized to interest expense over the draw period of the facility. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, KREF paid KCM $0.6 million in structuring fees, accrued as of December 31, 2021, in connection with the facility. In connection with the KREF 2021-FL2 and KREF 2022-FL3 CLO issuances in August 2021 and February 2022, and in consideration for its services as the co-lead manager and joint bookrunner, KREF paid KCM $0.9 million and $0.5 million, respectively, in structuring and placement agent fees in the third quarter of 2021 and first quarter of 2022. These fees were capitalized as deferred financing cost and amortized to interest expense over the estimated life of the CLOs. In connection with the extension and upsize of the Revolver in March 2022, and in consideration for its services as the arranger, KREF is obligated to pay KCM an arrangement fee equal to 0.375% of the aggregate amount of existing commitments plus 0.75% of the aggregate amount of new commitments. Such fees were capitalized as deferred financing cost included within "Other assets" on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet and amortized to interest expense over the life of the Revolver. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, KREF accrued for $2.6 million of arrangement fees in connection with the Revolver. |

(D) Commercial real estate loans are generally valued using a discounted cash flow model using a discount rate derived from relevant market indices and/or estimates of the underlying property's value. Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis Certain assets not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis but subject to fair value adjustments only in certain circumstances, such as when there is evidence of impairment, are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. KREF measures commercial real estate loans held-for-sale at the lower of cost or fair value and may be required, from time to time, to record a nonrecurring fair value adjustment. KREF measures commercial real estate loans held-for-investment at amortized cost, but may be required, from time to time, to record a nonrecurring fair value adjustment in the form of a valuation provision or impairment. KREF did not report any significant financial assets or liabilities at fair value on a nonrecurring basis as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021. Assets and Liabilities for Which Fair Value is Only Disclosed KREF does not carry its secured financing agreements at fair value as management did not elect the fair value option for these liabilities. As of March 31, 2022, the fair value of KREF's financing facilities approximated their respective carrying value. |

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Income Taxes | Income Taxes KREF has elected to be taxed as a REIT under Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code commencing with its taxable year ended December 31, 2014. A REIT is generally not subject to U.S. federal and state income tax on that portion of its income that is distributed to stockholders if it distributes at least 90% of its REIT taxable income, determined without regard to the deduction for dividends paid and excluding any net capital gains. A REIT will also be subject to a nondeductible excise tax to the extent certain percentages of its taxable income are not distributed within specified dates. While KREF expects to distribute at least 90% of its net taxable income for the foreseeable future, KREF will continue to evaluate its capital and liquidity needs in light of the significant uncertainties created by the COVID-19 pandemic, including the potential for a continued and prolonged adverse impact on economic and market conditions. KREF consolidates subsidiaries that incur U.S. federal, state and local income taxes, based on the tax jurisdiction in which each subsidiary operates. During the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, KREF recorded no current income tax provision, related to the operations of its taxable REIT subsidiaries and various other state and local taxes. There were no deferred tax assets or liabilities as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021. As of March 31, 2022, tax y ears 2017 through 2021 r emain subject to examination by taxing authorities. |

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Basis of Presentation | Basis of Presentation — The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes of KREF are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") for interim financial information and instructions to Form 10-Q. The condensed consolidated financial statements, including the accompanying notes, are unaudited and exclude some of the disclosures required in annual financial statements. Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the consolidated financial statements have been condensed or omitted. The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of KREF and its consolidated subsidiaries, and all intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of KREF’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows have been included and are of a normal and recurring nature. The operating results presented for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the entire year. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with KREF's Annual Report on Form 10-K. |
Risks and Uncertainties | Risks and Uncertainties — The coronavirus pandemic ("COVID-19") has adversely impacted global commercial activity and has contributed to significant volatility in financial markets. During 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic created disruption in global supply chains, increased rates of unemployment and adversely impacted many industries, including industries related to the collateral underlying certain of our loans. The impact of the outbreak has been rapidly evolving around the globe, with several countries taking drastic measures to limit the spread of the virus by instituting quarantines or lockdowns, imposing travel restrictions and limiting operations of non-essential offices and retail centers. Since 2020, the global economy has, with certain setbacks, begun reopening, and wider distribution of vaccines will likely encourage greater economic activity. However, wide disparities in vaccination rates and continued vaccine hesitancy, combined with the emergence of COVID-19 variants and surges in COVID-19 cases, could trigger the reinstatement of restrictions, including mandatory business shut-downs, travel restrictions, reduced business operations and social distancing requirements, which could dampen or delay any economic recovery and could materially and adversely affect KREF’s results and financial condition. In addition, the COVID-19 pandemic continues to disrupt global supply chains, has caused labor shortages and has added broad inflationary pressures, which has a potential negative impact on KREF's borrowers’ ability to execute on their business plans and potentially their ability to perform under the terms of their loan obligations. Although KREF has observed signs of economic recovery and is generally encouraged by the response of its borrowers, KREF cannot predict the time required for a widespread sustainable economic recovery to take hold. |
Use of Estimates | Use of Estimates — The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Management makes subjective estimates to project cash flows KREF expects to receive on its investments in loans and securities as well as the related market discount rates, which significantly impacts the interest income, impairments, allowance for loan loss and fair values recorded or disclosed. The effects of COVID-19 may negatively and materially impact significant estimates and assumptions used by the Company including, but not limited to estimates of expected credit losses, valuation of our equity method investments and the fair value estimates of the Company’s assets and liabilities . Actual results could materially differ from those estimates. |
Consolidation | Consolidation — KREF consolidates those entities for which (i) it controls through either majority ownership or voting rights or (ii) management determines that KREF is the primary beneficiary of entities deemed to be variable interest entities ("VIEs"). Variable Interest Entities — VIEs are entities (i) in which equity investors do not have an interest with the characteristics of a controlling financial interest, (ii) do not have sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties or (iii) established with non-substantive voting rights. A VIE is required to be consolidated only by its primary beneficiary, which is defined as the party that has the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance and that has the obligation to absorb losses of, or the right to receive benefits from, the VIE that could be potentially significant to the VIE (Note 10). To assess whether KREF has the power to direct the activities of a VIE that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance, KREF considers all the facts and circumstances, including its role in establishing the VIE and its ongoing rights and responsibilities. This assessment includes, first, identifying the activities that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance; and second, identifying which party, if any, has power to direct those activities. To assess whether KREF has the obligation to absorb losses of, or the right to receive benefits from, the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE, KREF considers all of its economic interests and applies judgment in determining whether these interests, in the aggregate, are considered potentially significant to the VIE. Collateralized Loan Obligations — KREF consolidates collateralized loan obligations (“CLOs”) when it determines that the CLO issuers, wholly-owned subsidiaries of KREF, are VIEs and that KREF is the primary beneficiary of such VIEs. The collateral assets of KREF's CLOs, comprised of a pool of loan participations, are included in “Commercial real estate loans, held-for-investment, net” on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The liabilities of KREF's consolidated CLOs consist solely of obligations to the senior CLO noteholders, excluding subordinated CLO tranches held by KREF as such interests are eliminated in consolidation, are presented in “Collateralized loan obligations, net” on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The collateral assets of the CLOs can only be used to settle the obligations of the consolidated CLOs. The interest income from the CLOs’ collateral assets and the interest expense on the CLOs’ liabilities are presented on a gross basis in “Interest income” and “Interest expense”, respectively, in KREF's Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. Real Estate Owned Joint Venture — KREF consolidated a joint venture that held the majority of KREF’s sole investment in real estate owned (“REO”) property that was acquired in the fourth quarter of 2021, in which a third party owned a 10% noncontrolling interest (Note 10). Management determined the joint venture to be a VIE as the joint venture had insufficient equity-at-risk. KREF owns 90% of the equity interest in the joint venture and participates in the profits and losses. Management concluded KREF to be the primary beneficiary of the joint venture as KREF held decision-making power over the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance and has the obligation to absorb losses of, or the right to receive benefits from, the joint venture that could be potentially significant to the joint venture. Noncontrolling Interests — Noncontrolling interests represent the ownership interests in certain consolidated subsidiaries held by entities or persons other than KREF. These noncontrolling interests do not include redemption features and are presented as "Noncontrolling interests in equity of consolidated joint venture" on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. |
Temporary Equity | Temporary Equity |
Equity Method Investments | Equity Method Investments — Investments are accounted for under the equity method when KREF has significant influence over the operations of an investee but does not consolidate that investment. Equity method investments, for which management has not elected a fair value option, are initially recorded at cost and subsequently adjusted for KREF's share of net income or loss and cash contributions and distributions each period. Management determined that KREF's investment in the Manager is an interest in a VIE, however KREF is not the primary beneficiary. KREF does not have substantive participating or kick-out rights nor the power to direct activities and the obligation to absorb losses of the Manager that could be significant to the Manager. KREF accounts for its investment in the Manager using the equity method. On October 1, 2021, KREF TRS redeemed its interest in the Manager for a cash call amount of $5.1 million when the KKR Member exercised its Call Option to redeem the Non-Voting Manager Units, including the Non-Voting Manager Units held by KREF TRS (Note 10). Management determined that KREF's investment in an aggregator vehicle alongside KKR Real Estate Credit Opportunity Partners L.P. ("RECOP I ") is an interest in a VIE, however KREF is not the primary beneficiary and does not have substantive participating or kick-out rights. KREF records its share of net asset value in RECOP I in “Equity method investments” on its Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and its share of unrealized gains or losses in “Income from equity method investments” in its Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. Management elected the fair value option for KREF's investment in RECOP I. |
Fair Value | Fair Value — GAAP requires the categorization of the fair value of financial instruments into three broad levels that form a hierarchy based on the transparency of inputs to the valuation. Level 1 - Inputs are unadjusted, quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date. Level 2 - Inputs are other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, and inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability. Level 3 - Inputs are unobservable for the asset or liability, and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability. KREF follows this hierarchy for its financial instruments. The classifications are based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Valuation Process — The Manager reviews the valuation of Level 3 financial instruments as part of KKR's quarterly process. As of March 31, 2022, KKR’s valuation process for Level 3 measurements, as described below, subjected valuations to the review and oversight of various committees. KKR has a global valuation committee assisted by the asset class-specific valuation committees, including a real estate valuation committee that reviews and approves all preliminary Level 3 valuations for real estate assets, including the financial instruments held by KREF. The global valuation committee is responsible for coordinating and implementing KKR’s valuation process to ensure consistency in the application of valuation principles across portfolio investments and between periods. All Level 3 valuations are also subject to approval by the global valuation committee. Valuation of Commercial Real Estate Loans and Participation Sold — Management generally considers KREF's commercial real estate loans Level 3 assets in the fair value hierarchy as such assets are illiquid, structured investments that are specific to the sponsor, underlying property and its operating performance (Note 16). On a quarterly basis, management engages an independent valuation firm to estimate the fair value of each loan categorized as a Level 3 asset. Management reviews the quarterly loan valuation estimates provided by the independent valuation firm. These loans are generally valued using a discounted cash flow model using discount rates derived from observable market data applied to the capital structure of the respective sponsor and/or estimated property value. In the event that management's estimate of fair value differs from the fair value estimate provided by the independent valuation firm, KREF ultimately relies solely upon the valuation prepared by the investment personnel of the Manager. Valuation of CLO Consolidated VIEs — Management estimates the fair value of the CLO liabilities using prices obtained from an independent valuation firm. If prices received from the independent valuation firm are inconsistent with values determined in connection with management’s independent review, management makes inquiries to the independent valuation firm about the prices received and related methods. In the event management determines the price obtained from an independent valuation firm to be unreliable or an inaccurate representation of the fair value of the CLO liabilities (based on considerations given to observable market data), management then compiles evidence independently and presents the independent valuation firm with such evidence supporting a different value. As a result, the independent valuation firm may revise their price after evaluating any additional evidence. However, if management continues to disagree with the price from the independent valuation firm, in light of evidence that management compiled independently and believes to be compelling, valuations are then prepared using inputs based on non-binding broker quotes obtained from independent, well-known, major financial brokers that are CLO market makers. In validating any non-binding broker quote used in this circumstance, management compares the non-binding quote to the observable market data points in addition to understanding the valuation methodologies used by the market makers. These market participants may utilize a similar methodology as the independent valuation firm to value the CLO liabilities, with the key input of expected yield determined independently based on both observable and unobservable factors. To avoid reliance on any single broker-dealer, management receives a minimum of two non-binding quotes, of which the average is used. Other Valuation Matters — For Level 3 financial assets originated, or otherwise acquired, and financial liabilities assumed during the current calendar quarter that were conducted in an orderly transaction with an unrelated party, management generally believes that the transaction price provides the most observable indication of fair value given the illiquid nature of these financial instruments, unless management is aware of any circumstances that may cause a material change in the fair value through the remainder of the quarterly reporting period. For instance, significant changes to the underlying property or its planned operations may cause material changes in the fair value of commercial real estate loans acquired, or originated, by KREF. KREF’s determination of fair value is based upon the best information available for a given circumstance and may incorporate assumptions that are management’s best estimates after consideration of a variety of internal and external factors. When an independent valuation firm expresses an opinion on the fair value of a financial instrument in the form of a range, management selects a value within the range provided by the independent valuation firm, generally the midpoint, to assess the reasonableness of management’s estimated fair value for that financial instrument. |
Sales of Financial Assets and Financing Agreements | Sales of Financial Assets and Financing Agreements — KREF will, from time to time, transfer loans, securities and other assets as well as finance assets in the form of secured borrowings. In each case, management evaluates whether the transaction constitutes a sale through legal isolation of the transferred financial asset from KREF, the ability of the transferee to pledge or exchange the transferred asset without constraint and the transfer of control of the transferred asset. For transfers that constitute sales, KREF (i) recognizes the financial assets it retains and liabilities it has incurred, if any, (ii) derecognizes the financial assets it has sold, and derecognizes liabilities when extinguished and (iii) recognizes a realized gain, or loss, based upon the excess, or deficient, proceeds received over the carrying value of the transferred asset. KREF does not recognize a gain, or loss, on interests retained, if any, where management elected the fair value option prior to sale. |
Cash and Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash | Cash and Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash — KREF considers cash equivalents as highly liquid short-term investments with maturities of 90 days or less when purchased. Substantially all amounts on deposit with major financial institutions exceed insured limits. |
Commercial Real Estate Loans Held-For-Investment and Allowance for Credit Losses | Commercial Real Estate Loans Held-For-Investment and Allowance for Credit Losses — KREF recognizes its investments in commercial real estate loans based on management's intent, and KREF's ability, to hold those investments through their contractual maturity. Management classifies those loans that management does not intend to sell in the foreseeable future, and KREF is able to hold until maturity, as held-for-investment. Loans that are held-for-investment are carried at their aggregate outstanding principal, net of applicable (i) unamortized origination or acquisition premiums and discounts, (ii) unamortized deferred nonrefundable fees and other direct loan origination costs, and (iii) allowance for credit losses, net of write-offs of impaired loans . If a loan is determined to be impaired, management writes off the loan through a charge to the "Allowance for credit losses" and respective loan balance. On January 1, 2020, KREF adopted ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses , and subsequent amendments (“ASU 2016-13”), which replaced the incurred loss methodology with an expected loss model known as the Current Expected Credit Loss ("CECL") model. CECL amended the previous credit loss model to reflect a reporting entity's current estimate of all expected credit losses, not only based on historical experience and current conditions, but also by including reasonable and supportable forecasts incorporating forward-looking information. The measurement of expected credit losses under CECL 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 required under ASU 2016-13 is deducted from the respective loans’ amortized cost basis on KREF's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The allowance for credit losses attributed to unfunded loan commitments is included in “Accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities” on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The guidance also required a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the reporting period of adoption. In connection with KREF’s adoption of ASU 2016-13, KREF implemented new processes including the utilization of loan loss forecasting models, updates to KREF's reserve policy documentation, changes to internal reporting processes and related internal controls. KREF has implemented loan loss forecasting models for estimating expected life-time credit losses, at the individual loan level, for its commercial real estate loan portfolio. The CECL forecasting methods used by KREF include (i) a probability of default and loss given default method using an underlying third-party CMBS/CRE loan database with historical loan losses from 1998 through 2021 and (ii) a probability weighted expected cash flow method, depending on the type of loan and the availability of relevant historical market loan loss data. KREF might use other acceptable alternative approaches in the future depending on, among other factors, the type of loan, underlying collateral and availability of relevant historical market loan loss data. KREF estimates the CECL allowance for its loan portfolio, including unfunded loan commitments, at the individual loan level. Significant inputs to KREF’s forecasting methods include (i) key loan-specific inputs such as loan-to-value ("LTV"), vintage year, loan-term, underlying property type, geographic location, and expected timing and amount of future loan fundings, (ii) performance against the underwritten business plan and KREF's internal loan risk rating and (iii) a macro-economic forecast. These estimates may change in future periods based on available future macro-economic data and might result in a material change in KREF’s future estimates of expected credit losses for its loan portfolio. KREF considers the individual loan internal risk rating as the primary credit quality indicator underlying the CECL assessment. In certain instances, KREF considers relevant loan-specific qualitative factors to certain loans to estimate its CECL allowance. KREF considers loan investments that are both (i) expected to be substantially repaid through the operation or sale of the underlying collateral, and (ii) for which the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty, to be “collateral-dependent” loans. For such loans that KREF determines that foreclosure of the collateral is probable, KREF measures the expected losses based on the difference between the fair value of the collateral and the amortized cost basis of the loan as of the measurement date. For collateral-dependent loans that KREF determines foreclosure is not probable, KREF applies a practical expedient to estimate expected losses using the difference between the collateral’s fair value (less costs to sell the asset if repayment is expected through the sale of the collateral) and t he amortized cost basis of the loan. |
Commercial Real Estate Loans Held-For-Sale | Commercial Real Estate Loans Held-For-Sale — Loans that KREF originates or acquires, which KREF is unable to hold, or management intends to sell or otherwise dispose of, in the foreseeable future are classified as held-for-sale and are carried at the lower of amortized cost or fair value. Commercial Real Estate Loans, Held-For-Sale — For commercial real estate loans held-for-sale, KREF applies the lower of cost or fair value accounting and may be required, from time to time, to record a nonrecurring fair value adjustment. |
Real Estate Owned | Real Estate Owned — To maximize recovery from a defaulted loan, KREF may assume legal title or physical possession of the underlying collateral through foreclosure or the execution of a deed in lieu of foreclosure. Foreclosed properties are generally recognized at fair value in accordance with ASC 805 on KREF's consolidated balance sheets as Real Estate Owned (“REO”) when KREF assumes either legal title or physical possession. KREF’s cost basis in REO equals the estimated fair value on the acquisition date plus related acquisition costs. Any difference between the estimated fair value of the REO from the net carrying value of the related loan is recorded in “Provision for credit losses, net” in the Consolidated Statements of Income. REO assets, except for land, are depreciated using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives. Renovations and/or replacements that improve or extend the life of the REO asset are capitalized and depreciated over their estimated useful lives. The cost of ordinary repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. |
Secured Financing Agreements, Secured Term Loan, Net and Convertible Notes, Net | Secured Financing Agreements — KREF's secured financing agreements, including uncommitted repurchase facilities, term lending agreements, warehouse facility, asset specific financings and term loan financings, are treated as floating-rate collateralized financing arrangements carried at their contractual amounts, net of unamortized debt issuance costs (Note 5). Included within KREF's secured financing agreements is KREF's corporate revolving credit facility ("Revolver"), which is full recourse to certain guarantor wholly-owned subsidiaries of KREF. Secured Term Loan, Net — KREF records its secured term loan at its contractual amount, net of unamortized original issuance discount and deferred financing costs (Note 7) on its Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Any original issuance discount or deferred financing costs are amortized through the maturity date of the secured term loan as additional non-cash interest expense. Convertible Notes, Net |
Loan Participations Sold, Net | Loan Participations Sold, Net — In connection with its investments in CRE loans, KREF finances certain investments through the syndication of non-recourse, or limited-recourse, loan participation to unaffiliated third parties. KREF’s presentation of the senior loan and related financing involved in the syndication depends upon whether the transaction is recognized as a sale under GAAP, though such differences in presentation do not generally impact KREF’s net stockholders’ equity or net income aside from timing differences in the recognition of certain transaction costs. To the extent that a sale is recognized under GAAP from the syndication, KREF derecognizes the participation in the senior/whole loan that KREF sold and continues to carry the retained portion of the loan as an investment. While KREF does not generally expect to recognize a material gain or loss on these sales, KREF would realize a gain or loss in an amount equal to the difference between the net proceeds received from the third party purchaser and its carrying value of the loan participation that KREF sold at time of sale. Furthermore, KREF recognizes interest income only on the portion of the loan that it retains as a result of the sale. |
Dividends Payable | Dividends Payable — K REF records dividends payable on its common stock and preferred stock upon declaration of such d |
Special Non-Voting Preferred Stock | Special Non-Voting Preferred Stock — Equity instruments that are redeemable for cash or other assets are classified as temporary equity if the instrument is redeemable, at the option of the holder, at a fixed or determinable price on a fixed or determinable date or upon the occurrence of an event that is not solely within the control of the issuer. Redeemable equity instruments are initially carried at the fair value of the equity instrument at the issuance date, which is subsequently adjusted at each balance sheet date if the instrument is currently redeemable or probable of becoming redeemable. KREF accounted for the SNVPS as redeemable preferred stock since a third party holds a redemption option, exercisable after May 5, 2018, and such redemption was not solely within KREF's control. As a result, starting with the second quarter of 2018, KREF adjusted the carrying value of the SNVPS to its redemption value quarterly. |
Repurchased Stock | Repurchased Stock — KREF accounts for repurchases of its common stock based on the settlement date and presents repurchased stock in “Repurchased stock” on its Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets (Note 11). Payments for stock repurchases that are not yet settled as of the reporting date are presented within “Other assets” on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. |
Income Recognition | Income Recognition Interest Income — Loans where management expects to collect all contractually required principal and interest payments are considered performing loans. KREF accrues interest income on performing loans based on the outstanding principal amount and contractual terms of the loan. Interest income also includes origination fees, direct loan origination costs and related exit fees for loans that KREF originates, but where management did not elect the fair value option, as a yield adjustment using the interest method over the loan term, or on a straight line basis when it approximates the interest method. KREF expenses origination fees and direct loan origination costs for loans acquired, but not originated, by KREF as well as loans for which management elected the fair value option, as incurred. Revenue from Real Estate Owned Operations — Revenue from REO operations is primarily comprised of rental income, including base rent and reimbursements of property operating expenses. For leases that have fixed and measurable base rent escalations, KREF recognizes base rent on a straight-line basis over the non-cancelable lease terms. The difference between such rental income earned and the cash rent amount is recorded as straight-line rent receivable and presented within "Other assets" on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Reimbursement of property operating expenses arises from tenant leases which provide for the recovery of certain operating expenses and real estate taxes of the respective property. This revenue is accrued in the same periods as the expenses are incurred. Rental income is presented within “ Revenue from real estate owned operations ” in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. Other Income — KREF recognizes interest income earned on its cash balances and miscellaneous fee income in “Other income” on its Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. Realized Gain (Loss) on Sale of Investments — KREF recognizes the excess, or deficiency, of net proceeds received, less the net carrying value of such investments, as realized gains or losses, respectively. KREF reverses cumulative, unrealized gains or losses previously reported in its Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income with respect to the investment sold at the time of sale. |
Commercial Real Estate Loans, Held-For-Investment | 80%), and the loan covenants are unlikely to fully mitigate some risks. Interest payments may come from an interest reserve or sponsor equity. 5—Impaired/Loss Likely—A loan that has a very high risk of realizing a principal loss or has otherwise incurred a principal loss. The underlying property performance is significantly behind underwritten expectations, the sponsor has failed to execute its business plan and/or the sponsor has missed interest payments. The market fundamentals have deteriorated, or property performance has unexpectedly declined or valuations for comparable properties have declined meaningfully since loan origination. Current cash flow does not support debt service payments. With the current capital structure, the sponsor might not be incentivized to protect its equity without a restructuring of the loan. The loan exhibits a very high loan-to-value ratio (>90%), and default may be imminent." id="sjs-B22">Commercial Real Estate Loans, Held-For-Investment — For each loan in KREF's portfolio, management performs a quarterly evaluation of credit quality indicators of loans classified as held - for-investment using applicable loan, property, market and sponsor information obtained from borrowers, loan servicers and local market participants. Such indicators may include the net present value of the underlying collateral, property operating cash flows, the sponsor’s financial wherewithal and competency in managing the property, macroeconomic trends, and property submarket—specific economic factors. The evaluation of these credit quality indicators requires significant judgment by management to determine whether failure to collect contractual amounts is probable. If management deems that it is probable that KREF will be unable to collect all amounts owed according to the contractual terms of a loan, deterioration in credit quality of that loan is indicated. Management evaluates all available facts and circumstances that might impact KREF’s ability to collect outstanding loan balances when determining loan write-offs. These facts and circumstances may vary and may include, but are not limited to, (i) significant deterioration in the underlying collateral performance and/or value, if repayment is solely based on the collateral, (ii) correspondence from the borrower indicating that it does not intend to pay the contractual principal and interest, (iii) violation of multiple debt covenants without indication the borrower has the ability to remediate such violations, (iv) occurrence of one or more events of default by the borrower, or (v) KREF has sufficient information to determine that the borrower is insolvent, or the borrower has filed for bankruptcy, and the value of the underlying collateral is below the loan basis. If management considers a loan to be impaired, management writes-off the loan through a charge to "Allowance for credit losses" based on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s contractual effective rate or the fair value of the collateral, if repayment is expected solely from the collateral. Significant judgment is required in determining impairment and in estimating the resulting credit loss allowance, and actual losses, if any, could materially differ from those estimates. Management considers loans to be past due when a monthly payment is due and unpaid for 60 days or more. Loans are placed on nonaccrual status and considered non-performing when full repayment of principal and interest is in doubt, which generally occurs when principal or interest is 120 days or more past due unless the loan is both well secured and in the process of collection. Interest received on loans placed on nonaccrual status are accounted for under the cost-recovery method, until qualifying for return to accrual. Management may return a loan to accrual status when repayment of principal and interest is reasonably assured under the terms of the restructured loan. As of March 31, 2022 , one mezzanine loan with an outstanding principal balance of $5.5 million was on nonaccrual status and was fully written-off (Note 3). In certain circumstances, KREF may also modify the original terms of a loan agreement by granting a concession to a borrower experiencing financial difficulty. Such modifications are considered troubled debt restructurings (“TDR”) under GAAP and typically include interest rate reductions, payment extension and modification of loan covenants. None of KREF’s loan modifications in 2022 to-date is considered a TDR. In conjunction with reviewing commercial real estate loans held-for-investment for impairment, the Manager evaluates KREF's commercial real estate loans on a quarterly basis, assesses the risk factors of each loan, and assigns a risk rating based on a variety of factors, including, without limitation, underlying real estate performance and asset value, values of comparable properties, durability and quality of property cash flows, sponsor experience and financial wherewithal, and the existence of a risk-mitigating loan structure. Additional key considerations include loan-to-value ratios, debt service coverage ratios, loan structure, real estate and credit market dynamics, and risk of default or principal loss. Based on a five-point scale, KREF's loans are rated "1" through "5," from less risk to greater risk, which ratings are defined as follows: 1—Very Low Risk—The underlying property performance has surpassed underwritten expectations, and the sponsor’s business plan is generally complete. The property demonstrates stabilized occupancy and/or rental rates resulting in strong current cash flow and/or a very low loan-to-value ratio (<65%). At the level of performance, it is very likely that the underlying loan can be refinanced easily in the period’s prevailing capital market conditions. 2—Low Risk—The underlying property performance has matched or exceeded underwritten expectations, and the sponsor’s business plan may be ahead of schedule or has achieved some or many of the major milestones from a risk mitigation perspective. The property has achieved improving occupancy at market rents, resulting in sufficient current cash flow and/or a low loan-to-value ratio (65%-70%). Operating trends are favorable, and the underlying loan can be refinanced in today’s prevailing capital market conditions. The sponsor/manager is well capitalized or has demonstrated a history of success in owning or operating similar real estate. 3—Average Risk—The underlying property performance is in-line with underwritten expectations, or the sponsor may be in the early stages of executing its business plan. Current cash flow supports debt service payments, or there is an ample interest reserve or loan structure in place to provide the sponsor time to execute the value-improvement plan. The property exhibits a moderate loan-to-value ratio (<75%). Loan structure appropriately mitigates additional risks. The sponsor/manager has a stable credit history and experience owning or operating similar real estate. 4—High Risk/Potential for Loss—A loan that has a risk of realizing a principal loss. The underlying property performance is behind underwritten expectations, or the sponsor is behind schedule in executing its business plan. The underlying market fundamentals may have deteriorated, comparable property valuations may be declining or property occupancy has been volatile, resulting in current cash flow that may not support debt service payments. The loan exhibits a high loan-to-value ratio (>80%), and the loan covenants are unlikely to fully mitigate some risks. Interest payments may come from an interest reserve or sponsor equity. 5—Impaired/Loss Likely—A loan that has a very high risk of realizing a principal loss or has otherwise incurred a principal loss. The underlying property performance is significantly behind underwritten expectations, the sponsor has failed to execute its business plan and/or the sponsor has missed interest payments. The market fundamentals have deteriorated, or property performance has unexpectedly declined or valuations for comparable properties have declined meaningfully since loan origination. Current cash flow does not support debt service payments. With the current capital structure, the sponsor might not be incentivized to protect its equity without a restructuring of the loan. The loan exhibits a very high loan-to-value ratio (>90%), and default may be imminent. |
Accrued Interest Receivables | Accrued Interest Receivables — KREF elected not to measure an allowance for credit losses for accrued interest receivables. KREF generally writes off an accrued interest receivable balance when interest is 120 days or more past due unless the loan is both well secured and in the process of collection. Write-offs of accr ued interest receivable are recognized as “Provision for (reversal of) credit losses, net” in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. |
Tenant Receivables | Tenant Receivables — KREF periodically reviews its tenant receivables for collectability, taking into consideration changes in factors such as the tenant’s payment history, the financial condition of the tenant, business conditions in the industry in which the tenant operates and economic conditions in the area where the property is located. Tenant receivables, including receivables arising from the straight-lining of rents, are written-off directly when management deems that the collectability of substantially all future lease payments from a specified lease is not probable of collection, at which point, KREF will begin recognizing revenue on a cash basis, based on actual amounts received. Any receivables that are deemed to be uncollectable are recognized as a reduction to “ Revenue from real estate owned operations ” in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income |
Interest Expense | Interest Expense |
Deferred Debt Issuance Costs | Deferred Debt Issuance Costs — KREF capitalizes and amortizes deferred financing costs incurred in connection with financing arrangements over their respective expected term using the interest method, or on a straight line basis when it approximates the interest method. KREF presents such expensed amounts, as well as deferred amounts written off, as additional interest expense in its Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. |
General and Administrative Expenses | General and Administrative Expenses — KREF expenses general and administrative costs, including legal, diligence and audit fees; information technology costs; insurance premiums; and other costs as incurred. |
Management and Incentive Compensation to Affiliate | Management and Incentive Compensation to Affiliate |
Income Taxes | Income Taxes — Certain activities of KREF are conducted through joint ventures that are formed as limited liability companies, taxed as partnerships, and consolidated by KREF. Some of these joint ventures are subject to state and local income taxes, based on the tax jurisdictions in which they operate. In addition, certain activities of KREF are conducted through taxable REIT subsidiaries consolidated by KREF. Taxable REIT subsidiaries are subject to federal, state and local income taxes (Note 17). As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, KREF did not have any material deferred tax assets or liabilities arising from future tax consequences attributable to differences between the carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities in accordance with GAAP and their respective tax bases. KREF recognizes tax benefits for uncertain tax positions only if it is more likely than not that the position is sustainable based on its technical merits. Interest and penalties on uncertain tax positions are included as a component of the provision for income taxes in KREF's Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. As of March 31, 2022, KREF did not have any material uncertain tax positions. |
Stock-Based Compensation | Stock-Based CompensationKREF's stock-based compensation consists of awards issued to employees of the Manager or its affiliates that vest over the life of the awards, as well as restricted stock units issued to certain members of KREF's board of directors. KREF recognizes the compensation cost of stock-based awards to its directors and employees of the Manager or its affiliates on a straight-line basis over the awards’ term at their grant date fair value. Certain stock-based awards are entitled to nonforfeitable dividends, at the same rate as those declared on the common stock, during the vesting period. Such nonforteitable dividends are deducted from "Retained earnings (Accumulated deficit)" in the condensed consolidated financial statements. KREF accounts for forfeitures as they occur. |
Earnings per Share | Earnings per Share KREF calculates basic earnings per share ("EPS") using the two-class method, which defines unvested share-based payment awards that contain nonforfeitable rights to dividends as participating securities. The two-class method is an allocation formula that determines earnings per share for each share of common stock and participating securities according to dividends declared and participation rights in undistributed earnings. Under this method, all earnings (distributed and undistributed) are allocated to common shares and participating securities based on their respective rights. Basic EPS, is calculated by dividing net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common stock outstanding for the period. On January 1, 2022, KREF adopted ASU No. 2020-06, Debt — Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging — Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity , which requires KREF to include convertible instruments in the diluted EPS calculation, regardless of a company's intent and ability to settle such debt in cash. KREF included 6,316,174 potentially issuable shares related to its Convertible Notes in the dilutive EPS calculations starting with the first quarter of 2022. |
Recent Accounting Pronouncements | Recent Accounting Pronouncements In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting , which provides temporary optional expedients and exceptions to the US GAAP guidance on contract modifications and hedge accounting to ease the financial reporting burdens of the expected market transition from LIBOR and other interbank offered rates to alternative reference rates. The guidance is effective upon issuance and generally may be elected over time through December 31, 2022. KREF has not adopted any of the optional expedients or exceptions through March 31, 2022, but will continue to evaluate the possible adoption of any such expedients or exceptions during the effective period as circumstances evolve. In March 2022, the FASB issued ASU No. 2022-02, Financial Instruments — Credit Losses (Topic 326): Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures , which eliminates the recognition and measurement guidance for a troubled debt restructuring (TDR) for creditors that have adopted CECL and requires public business entities to present gross write-offs by year of origination in their vintage disclosures. The guidance is effective for KREF in the first quarter of 2023. The guidance allows the use of a prospective or modified retrospective transition method. KREF is evaluating the impact of ASU 2022-02. |
