Exantas Capital Corp. provided earnings guidance for the first quarter of 2020. Given most of deployment will be at the end of the first quarter and then into the second quarter, it expects net interest income in the first quarter to be relatively muted. With the net positive investment production in the fourth quarter and a strong start to production toward the first quarter of 2020, it expects run rate earnings profile to increase, as it sees the full impact of production from the current pipeline to begin in the second quarter.
