LADR Leverage & Debt
Solvency and debt-coverage ratios — lower is generally safer
Ladder Capital Corp carries a Debt/EBITDA ratio of 12.7x, which is highly leveraged (65% above the sector average of 7.7x). Net debt stands at $3.5B ($3.5B total debt minus $38M cash). Interest coverage of just 1.4x is concerning — the company has limited headroom to absorb earnings volatility before struggling with debt service.

LADR Shareholder Yields
Earnings, FCF, buyback, and dividend yields — total returns to shareholders
Ladder Capital Corp returns 10.0% to shareholders annually — split between a 9.1% dividend yield and 0.9% buyback yield. The payout ratio exceeds 100% at 182.9%, meaning the company is paying out more than it earns — this level is unsustainable long-term without earnings recovery. The earnings yield of 5.0% (inverse of P/E) provides a useful comparison to bond yields when assessing the stock's relative attractiveness to fixed income.
