At September 30, 2024, the loan and investment portfolio’s unpaid principal balance ("UPB"), excluding loan loss reserves, was $11.57 billion, with a weighted average interest rate of 7.25%, compared to $11.87 billion and 7.79% at June 30, 2024. Including certain fees earned and costs associated with the loan and investment portfolio, the weighted average interest rate was 8.16% at September 30, 2024, compared to 8.60% at June 30, 2024. The decrease in rate was primarily due to a decrease in the SOFR rate in the third quarter of 2024.
The average balance of the Company’s loan and investment portfolio during the third quarter of 2024, excluding loan loss reserves, was $11.80 billion with a weighted average yield of 9.04%, compared to $12.15 billion and 8.99% for the second quarter of 2024.
During the third quarter of 2024, the Company recorded a $14.8 million net provision for loan losses associated with CECL. At September 30, 2024, the Company’s total allowance for loan losses was $243.6 million. The Company had twenty-six non-performing loans with a UPB of $625.4 million, before related loan loss reserves of $37.3 million, compared to twenty-four loans with a UPB of $676.2 million, before loan loss reserves of $28.1 million at June 30, 2024.
In addition, at September 30, 2024, the Company had ten loans with a total UPB of $319.2 million (before related loan loss reserves of $1.0 million) that were less than 60 days past due, compared to fourteen loans with a total UPB of $367.9 million at June 30, 2024. Interest income on these loans is only being recorded to the extent cash is received.
During the third quarter of 2024, the Company modified twenty-four loans with a total UPB of $1.15 billion. Eighteen of these loans with a total UPB of $710.7 million, contained interest rates based on pricing over SOFR ranging from 3.25% to 4.85%, and one loan with a 7.00% fixed rate. Under the loan modification terms, borrowers invested additional capital to recapitalize their deals in exchange for temporary rate relief, which we provided through a pay and accrual feature. At September 30, 2024, these modified loans had a weighted average pay rate of 5.91% and a weighted average accrual rate of 2.50%. A portion of these loans totaling $87.5 million were less than 60 days past due and $151.8 million were non-performing at June 30, 2024, and are now current in accordance with their modified terms.
Financing Activity
The balance of debt that finances the Company’s loan and investment portfolio at September 30, 2024 was $9.97 billion with a weighted average interest rate including fees of 7.18%, as compared to $10.26 billion and a rate of 7.53% at June 30, 2024.
The average balance of debt that finances the Company’s loan and investment portfolio for the third quarter of 2024 was $10.09 billion, as compared to $10.81 billion for the second quarter of 2024. The average cost of borrowings for the third quarter of 2024 was 7.58%, compared to 7.54% for the second quarter of 2024.
In October 2024, the Company issued $100.0 million of its 9.00% senior unsecured notes due October 2027 through a private offering. The Company expects that the net proceeds of this offering will be used to pay down debt and for general corporate purposes.

(1)Amounts are attributable to common stockholders and OP Unit holders. The OP Units are redeemable for cash, or at the Company's option for shares of the Company's common stock on a one-for-one basis.
(2)The diluted weighted average shares outstanding exclude the potential shares issuable upon conversion and settlement of the Company's convertible senior notes principal balance.
The Company is presenting distributable earnings because management believes it is an important supplemental measure of the Company's operating performance and is useful to investors, analysts and other parties in the evaluation of REITs and their ability to provide dividends to stockholders. Dividends are one of the principal reasons investors invest in REITs. To maintain REIT status, REITs are required to distribute at least 90% of their REIT-taxable income. The Company considers distributable earnings in determining its quarterly dividend and believes that, over time, distributable earnings is a useful indicator of the Company's dividends per share.
The Company defines distributable earnings as net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders computed in accordance with GAAP, adjusted for accounting items such as depreciation and amortization (adjusted for unconsolidated joint ventures), non-cash stock-based compensation expense, income from MSRs, amortization and write-offs of MSRs, gains/losses on derivative instruments primarily associated with Private Label loans not yet sold and securitized, changes in fair value of GSE-related derivatives that temporarily flow through earnings, deferred tax provision (benefit), CECL provisions for credit losses (adjusted for realized losses as described below) and gains/losses on the receipt of real estate from the settlement of loans (prior to the sale of the real estate). The Company also adds back one-time charges such as acquisition costs and one-time gains/losses on the early extinguishment of debt and redemption of preferred stock.
The Company reduces distributable earnings for realized losses in the period management determines that a loan is deemed nonrecoverable in whole or in part. Loans are deemed nonrecoverable upon the earlier of: (1) when the loan receivable is settled (i.e., when the loan is repaid, or in the case of foreclosure, when the underlying asset is sold); or (2) when management determines that it is nearly certain that all amounts due will not be collected. The realized loss amount is equal to the difference between the cash received, or expected to be received, and the book value of the asset.

Distributable earnings is not intended to be an indication of the Company's cash flows from operating activities (determined in accordance with GAAP) or a measure of its liquidity, nor is it entirely indicative of funding the Company's cash needs, including its ability to make cash distributions. The Company's calculation of distributable earnings may be different from the calculations used by other companies and, therefore, comparability may be limited.
