Exhibit 99.1 |
 This
presentation contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section
21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, which reflect the current views of
Blackstone Mortgage Trust, Inc. (“BXMT”) with respect to, among other things,
its operations and financial performance. You can identify these forward-looking statements by the use of words such as
“outlook,”
“believes,”
“expects,”
“potential,”
“continues,”
“may,”
“will,”
“should,”
“seeks,”
“approximately,”
“predicts,”
“intends,”
“plans,”
“estimates,”
“anticipates”
or the negative version of these words or other comparable words. Such forward-looking
statements are subject to various risks and uncertainties. Accordingly, there are or
will be important factors that could cause actual outcomes or results to differ
materially from those indicated in these statements. BXMT believes these factors
include, but are not limited, to those described under the section entitled
“Risk Factors”
in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012 and
subsequent quarterly reports on Form 10- Q as
such factors may be updated from time to time in its periodic filings with the Securities and
Exchange Commission, which are accessible on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.
These factors should not be construed as exhaustive and should be read in conjunction with the other cautionary
statements that are included in this presentation and in the filings. BXMT undertakes no
obligation to publicly update or review any forward- looking statement or other
information in this presentation, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise.
We refer to “core earnings”, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, in this
presentation. A reconciliation of core earnings to net income, the most directly
comparable GAAP measure, is included in this presentation and our most recent Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and is available on our
website
at
www.bxmt.com.
Slide 11 of this presentation includes a reference to imputed core return on
equity (“Imputed Core ROE”) and other economic terms relating to a sample
BXMT loan transaction that are presented solely for purposes of illustrating the impact of using floating-rate financing to finance the
origination of a floating-rate loan and should not be viewed as indicative of the results
that will be achieved for any particular loan in BXMT’s portfolio or of
BXMT’s results as a whole. The loan economics presented are hypothetical and based upon a number of assumptions, including no
defaults on the loan, and are subject to various risks and uncertainties. Accordingly,
there are or will be important factors, including those referred to above that could
cause the actual economics that are achieved on this or any other loan in BXMT’s
loan portfolio to differ materially from those indicated in this illustration.
In particular, it should be noted that as a result of such factors the net spread between
whole loan yields and the cost of related leverage, the leverage multiple applicable to
any particular loan and allocable overhead may vary materially from period to period and
across BXMT’s loan portfolio. Imputed Core ROE also excludes potential incentive
management fees and is presented before any tax effects. Forward-Looking Statements

 Floating-Rate Business Model
18
As of September 30, 2013:
•
$1.3 billion of floating-rate loans, indexed to
one-month LIBOR
•
$643 million of floating-rate liabilities, also
indexed to one-month LIBOR
•
Return on $649 million of equity capital is
highly correlated to LIBOR
–
All else equal, as of September 30, 2013, a
100bp increase in LIBOR would have
increased
our
net
income
by
$6.5
million
(2)
per annum
Equity Capital
Due to our LIBOR-based lending and funding business model, our returns increase with
rising short-term interest rates and therefore our asset and equity values are
insulated from such increases
