ADAMAS TRUST, INC. Segments Disclosure
25. Segment Reporting
As of December 31, 2025, the Company operates in two reportable segments: (i) investment portfolio and (ii) Constructive. The accounting policies applied to the segments are the same as those described in Note 2, with the exception of allocations of certain corporate expenses not directly assigned or allocated to one of the Company's two reportable segments. The activities within Corporate/Other are reconciling items to the consolidated financial statements and primarily consist of general and administrative expenses not directly attributable to Constructive, interest expense on senior unsecured notes and subordinated debentures (see Note 15), financing transaction costs unrelated to securitizations and preferred stock dividends.
The Company is in the business of acquiring, investing in, financing and managing primarily mortgage-related residential assets (the “investment portfolio”), which includes residential loans, investment securities, multi-family loans and equity investments and single-family rental properties. The Company derives revenues from management of the investment portfolio, including interest income, net income (loss) from real estate and other income. On July 15, 2025, the Company acquired the outstanding 50% ownership interests in Constructive through the consummation of a membership interest purchase agreement. Constructive is a business purpose loan lender specializing in rental and transitional loans for real estate investors that derives revenues from the origination and sale of loans. In the normal course of business, business purpose loans are originated by Constructive and may subsequently be transferred to the investment portfolio segment as whole loans. All business purpose loans are accounted for under the fair value option and amounts transferred between reportable segments are accounted for at fair value at the time of transfer.
The structure of the reportable segments is differentiated by the nature of the business activities, which is consistent with the reporting structure of the Company and the financial information provided to the Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”). The CODM is the Company’s Chief Executive Officer. The operating results of the Company’s investment portfolio and Constructive are regularly reviewed by the CODM based upon segment assets and net income (loss) before income taxes.
The CODM utilizes the information reviewed to evaluate financial performance, benchmark results to those of peers and monitor actual performance against projected performance. Net income (loss) before income taxes is a key determinant of the Company’s book value (calculated as the Company’s stockholders’ equity attributable to common stockholders divided by outstanding common shares), a measure that is used by the CODM to evaluate Company performance overall and with respect to its peers and which is a component of the calculation of management’s compensation. Based upon the inputs discussed above, strategy and financing and capital and resource allocations rely on the determination of the CODM.
Prior to the acquisition of a controlling financial interest in Constructive in July 2025, the Company consisted of a single operating and reporting segment and the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto were a single reportable segment. For the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, the CODM also considered significant, and regularly reviewed, consolidated salaries and benefits expense in the amounts of approximately $33.3 million and $35.2 million, respectively, which is included in general and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

About Segments Disclosures
Segment disclosures break a company into its reportable operating units, revealing revenue, profit, and asset allocation that consolidated financial statements obscure. Under ASC 280, segments must match how the chief operating decision maker views the business, providing a window into internal management structure and resource allocation priorities.
Key signals: compare segment margins to identify which units drive profitability and which destroy value. Watch for changes in the number of reportable segments — segment aggregation or disaggregation often coincides with strategic shifts or attempts to obscure declining performance. Intersegment elimination patterns reveal internal pricing practices. The reconciliation between segment totals and consolidated figures exposes corporate overhead allocation and unallocated items. Geographic revenue concentration highlights regulatory and currency exposure. Compare segment-level capital expenditure against segment revenue to assess where management is investing for future growth versus harvesting existing assets.
