Exhibit 99.1

READY CAPITAL CORPORATION REPORTS FIRST QUARTER 2026 RESULTS

New York, New York, May 7, 2026 / Globe Newswire / – Ready Capital Corporation (“Ready Capital” or the “Company”) (NYSE: RC), a multi-strategy real estate finance company that originates, acquires, finances, and services lower-to-middle-market (“LMM”) investor and owner-occupied commercial real estate loans, today reported financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2026.

“Our first quarter results reflect ongoing execution of our previously shared balance sheet repositioning plan that focuses on de-levering to generate liquidity in excess of 2026 debt maturities, thereby resetting Ready Capital’s financials for long-term success,” said Thomas Capasse, Ready Capital’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “Year-to-date we have generated $1.4 billion in cash from loan sales and liquidations to facilitate the repayment of $1.1 billion of asset level financing and $184 million of corporate debt. These actions have resulted in a negative impact on earnings and book value, but are necessary to return the Company to profitability. With our remaining large-scale asset sales expected to close by the end of the second quarter, we anticipate the material book value pressure of the recent quarters will begin to subside, leaving a lower-leverage platform positioned to restart growth through our core CRE debt investing and SBA 7(a) lending businesses.”

Financial Metrics

•GAAP loss per common share of $(1.25)

•Distributable loss per common share of $(1.00)

•Distributable loss per common share before realized losses of $(0.33)

Balance Sheet Repositioning

•Generated $1.4 billion in cash year-to-date from loan sales and portfolio runoff, paying down over $1.1 billion in asset-level financing and retiring $184 million of corporate debt

•Sold 48 CRE loans totaling $1.0 billion in unpaid principal balance across four transactions (66% performing, 34% non- and sub-performing) for net proceeds after asset-level financing paydowns of $177 million

•Retired the 5.75% Senior Unsecured Notes in February 2026 and the 6.20% Senior Unsecured Notes in April 2026, reducing remaining 2026 corporate debt maturities to $450 million

•Collapsed the Company’s last remaining CLOs, RCMF 2021-FL7, RCMF 2023-FL11 and RCMF 2023-FL12

Portfolio & Credit

•Total loan originations of $464 million, including $288 million of LMM commercial real estate loans, $110 million of Small Business Administration 7(a) loans and $28 million of United States Department of Agriculture loans

•60+ day core delinquencies increased to 14.8% of the core CRE portfolio at quarter end. The large majority of this increase reflects the impact of loan sales as part of our balance sheet repositioning strategy and aggressive asset management strategies to accelerate liquidations

Capitalization

•Book value of $7.43 per share of common stock as of March 31, 2026

•Ended the quarter with $200 million in cash and $730 million of unencumbered assets; total leverage of 3.0x with recourse leverage of 1.8x

Portland Ritz

•Sold 43 Ritz-Carlton branded condominium units to date (74% year-to-date) with an additional 4 units under contract or reservation agreement which represents 36% sell out of 132 original inventory

•Hotel occupancy increased 5% year-over-year to 46% along with a 1% increase in ADR to $482 resulted in a 13% increase in RevPar to $221

Subsequent Events

•Initiated a sale process for up to $1.2 billion of performing and sub- and non-performing loans as the last phase of the balance sheet repositioning plan

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information

In addition to the results presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP, this press release includes distributable earnings, formerly referred to as core earnings, which is a non-U.S. GAAP financial measure. The Company defines distributable earnings as net income adjusted for unrealized gains and losses related to certain mortgage backed securities (“MBS”) not retained by us as part of our loan origination business, realized gains and losses on sales of certain MBS, unrealized changes in our current expected credit loss reserve and valuation allowance, unrealized gains or losses on de-designated cash flow hedges, unrealized gains or losses on foreign exchange hedges, unrealized gains or losses on certain unconsolidated joint ventures, non-cash compensation expense related to our stock-based incentive plan, unrealized gains or losses on preferred equity, at fair value, unrealized gain or losses or other non-cash items related to real estate owned 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 this non-U.S. GAAP financial information, in addition to the related U.S. GAAP measures, provides investors greater transparency into the information used by management in its financial and operational decision-making, including the determination of dividends. However, because distributable 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 distributable earnings may not be comparable to other similarly-titled measures of other companies.

In calculating distributable earnings, Net Income (in accordance with U.S. GAAP) is adjusted to exclude unrealized gains and losses on MBS acquired by the Company in the secondary market but is not adjusted to exclude unrealized gains and losses on MBS retained by Ready Capital as part of its loan origination businesses, where the Company transfers originated loans into an MBS securitization and the Company retains an interest in the securitization. In calculating distributable earnings, the Company does not adjust Net Income (in accordance with U.S. GAAP) to take into account unrealized gains and losses on MBS retained by us as part of the loan origination businesses because the unrealized gains and losses that are generated in the loan origination and securitization process are considered to be a fundamental part of this business and an indicator of the ongoing performance and credit quality of the Company’s historical loan originations. In calculating distributable earnings, Net Income (in accordance with U.S. GAAP) is adjusted to exclude realized gains and losses on certain MBS securities considered to be non-distributable. Certain MBS positions are considered to be non-distributable due to a variety of reasons which may include collateral type, duration, and size.

Servicing rights relating to the Company’s small business commercial business are accounted for under ASC 860, Transfer and Servicing. In calculating distributable earnings, the Company does not exclude realized gains or losses on commercial MSRs, as servicing income is a fundamental part of Ready Capital’s business and is an indicator of the ongoing performance.

To qualify as a REIT, the Company must distribute to its stockholders each calendar year at least 90% of its REIT taxable income (including certain items of non-cash income), determined without regard to the deduction for dividends paid and excluding net capital gain. There are certain items, including net income generated from the creation of MSRs, that are included in distributable earnings but are not included in the calculation of the current year’s taxable income. These differences may result in certain items that are recognized in the current period’s calculation of distributable earnings not being included in taxable income, and thus not subject to the REIT dividend distribution requirement until future years.

The table below reconciles Net Income computed in accordance with U.S. GAAP to Distributable Earnings.

20 Distributable Earnings Reconciliation by Quarter The Company believes that this non-U.S. GAAP financial information, in addition to the related U.S. GAAP measures, provides investors greater transparency into the information used by management in its financial and operational decision- making, including the determination of dividends. However, because Distributable 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 Distributable Earnings may not be comparable to other similarly-titled measures of other companies. We calculate Distributable earnings as GAAP net income (loss) excluding the following: i) any unrealized gains or losses on certain MBS not retained by us as part of our loan origination businesses ii) any realized gains or losses on sales of certain MBS iii) any unrealized gains or losses on Residential MSRs from discontinued operations iv) any unrealized change in current expected credit loss reserve and valuation allowances v) any unrealized gains or losses on de-designated cash flow hedges vi) any unrealized gains or losses on foreign exchange hedges vii) any unrealized gains or losses on certain unconsolidated joint ventures viii) any non-cash compensation expense related to stock-based incentive plan ix) any unrealized gains or losses on preferred equity, at fair value x) any unrealized gain or losses or other non-cash items related to real estate owned xi) one-time non-recurring gains or losses, such as gains or losses on discontinued operations, bargain purchase gains, or merger related expenses In calculating Distributable Earnings, Net Income (in accordance with U.S. GAAP) is adjusted to exclude unrealized gains and losses on MBS acquired by the Company in the secondary market but is not adjusted to exclude unrealized gains and losses on MBS retained by Ready Capital as part of its loan origination businesses, where the Company transfers originated loans into an MBS securitization and the Company retains an interest in the securitization. In calculating Distributable Earnings, the Company does not adjust Net Income (in accordance with U.S. GAAP) to take into account unrealized gains and losses on MBS retained by us as part of the loan origination businesses because the unrealized gains and losses that are generated in the loan origination and securitization process are considered to be a fundamental part of this business and an indicator of the ongoing performance and credit quality of the Company’s historical loan originations. In calculating Distributable Earnings, Net Income (in accordance with U.S. GAAP) is adjusted to exclude realized gains and losses on certain MBS securities considered to be non-distributable. Certain MBS positions are considered to be non-distributable due to a variety of reasons which may include collateral type, duration, and size. In addition, in calculating Distributable Earnings, Net Income (in accordance with U.S. GAAP) is adjusted to exclude unrealized gains or losses on residential MSRs, held at fair value from discontinued operations. In calculating Distributable Earnings, the Company does not exclude realized gains or losses on either commercial MSRs as servicing income is a fundamental part of Ready Capital’s business and is an indicator of the ongoing performance. To qualify as a REIT, the Company must distribute to its stockholders each calendar year at least 90% of its REIT taxable income (including certain items of non-cash income), determined without regard to the deduction for dividends paid and excluding net capital gain. There are certain items, including net income generated from the creation of MSRs, that are included in distributable earnings but are not included in the calculation of the current year’s taxable income. These differences may result in certain items that are recognized in the current period’s calculation of distributable earnings not being included in taxable income, and thus not subject to the REIT dividend distribution requirement until future years.
