For the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, primarily represents the forward points earned on our foreign currency forward contracts, which reflect the interest rate differentials between the
applicable base rate for our foreign currency investments and USD LIBOR. These forward contracts effectively convert the rate exposure to USD LIBOR, resulting in additional interest income earned
in U.S. dollar terms. These amounts were not included in GAAP net income, but rather as a component of Other Comprehensive Income in our consolidated financial statements.

subject
to
approval
by
a
majority
of
our
independent
directors.
During
the
twelve
months
ended
December
31,
2020,
we
recorded
a
$167.7
million
increase
in
current
expected
credit
loss
reserve,
or
CECL
reserve,
which
has
been
excluded
from
Distributable
Earnings
consistent
with
other
unrealized
gains
(losses)
pursuant
to
our
existing
policy
for
reporting
Distributable
Earnings
and
the
terms
of
the
management
agreement
between
our
Manager
and
us.
We
believe
that
Distributable
Earnings
provides
meaningful
information
to
consider
in
addition
to
our
net
income
and
cash
flow
from
operating
activities
determined
in
accordance
with
GAAP.
This
adjusted
measure
helps
us
to
evaluate
our
performance
excluding
the
effects
of
certain
transactions
and
GAAP
adjustments
that
we
believe
are
not
necessarily
indicative
of
our
current
loan
portfolio
and
operations.
We
believe
Distributable
Earnings
is
a
useful
financial
metric
for
existing
and
potential
future
holders
of
our
class
A
common
stock
as
historically,
over
time,
Distributable
Earnings
has
been
a
strong
indicator
of
our
dividends
per
share.
Distributable
Earnings
mirrors
the
terms
of
our
management
agreement
between
our
Manager
and
us,
or
our
Management
Agreement,
for
purposes
of
calculating
our
incentive
fee
expense.
Distributable
Earnings
does
not
represent
net
income
or
cash
generated
from
operating
activities
and
should
not
be
considered
as
an
alternative
to
GAAP
net
income,
or
an
indication
of
our
GAAP
cash
flows
from
operations,
a
measure
of
our
liquidity,
or
an
indication
of
funds
available
for
our
cash
needs.
In
addition,
our
methodology
for
calculating
Distributable
Earnings
may
differ
from
the
methodologies
employed
by
other
companies
to
calculate
the
same
or
similar
supplemental
performance
measures,
and
accordingly,
our
reported
Distributable
Earnings
may
not
be
comparable
to
the
Distributable
Earnings
reported
by
other
companies.

sheet,
constitute
additional

of
