As we look to the remainder of 2017 and beyond, we remain committed to executing on our strategic objectives to raise funds in an accretive manner to continue to expand our platform and build long term value for our shareholders."
Common Dividends
During the third quarter of 2017, the Company's Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.37 per share of common stock and operating partnership unit ("OP unit") in its operating partnership subsidiary for the quarter ended September 30, 2017 to common stockholders and OP unit holders of record as of September 30, 2017. The dividend was paid on October 20, 2017.
The Company issued a full detailed presentation of its third quarter 2017 results, which can be viewed in the investor relations section at www.sutherlandam.com.
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information
In addition to the results presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("U.S. GAAP"), this press release includes Core Earnings which is a non-U.S. GAAP financial measure. The Company defines Core Earnings as net income adjusted for unrealized or realized gains (losses) related to mortgage backed securities, unrealized gains (losses) related to residential mortgage servicing rights, and one-time non-recurring gains or losses, such as gains or losses on discontinued operations, bargain purchase gains or merger related expenses.
The Company believes that providing investors with this non-U.S. GAAP financial information, in addition to the related U.S. GAAP measures, gives investors greater transparency into the information used by management in its financial and operational decision-making. However, because Core Earnings is an incomplete measure of the Company's financial performance and involves differences from net income computed in accordance with U.S. GAAP, it should be considered along with, but not as an alternative to, the Company's net income computed in accordance with U.S. GAAP as a measure of the Company's financial performance. In addition, because not all companies use identical calculations, the Company's presentation of Core Earnings may not be comparable to other similarly-titled measures of other companies.
The following table reconciles net income computed in accordance with U.S. GAAP to Core Earnings for the three months ended September 30, 2017:
