Arbor Realty Trust said October 30 that its board suspended the quarterly common-stock cash dividend, effective immediately, as the real estate lender reported a third-quarter loss.

The company said the suspension would preserve capital for debt maturities and the resolution of legacy assets. The announcement concerned common shares; it did not announce a suspension of preferred-stock dividends.

Arbor reported an $85.4 million net loss attributable to common stockholders, or 51 cents per diluted share, compared with earnings of $38.5 million, or 20 cents a share, a year earlier.

Its distributable loss, a non-GAAP measure, was $6.9 million, or 4 cents a share. Excluding $21.7 million in net realized losses on legacy assets, distributable earnings were 8 cents per share. That adjusted figure is distinct from the reported net loss.

Nonperforming loans rose to 32, with an unpaid principal balance of $647.6 million, from 19 totaling $428.8 million at June 30. The figures come from Arbor’s October 30 results release.
