Definitions Core Earnings: Blackstone Mortgage Trust, Inc. (“BXMT”) discloses Core Earnings, a financial measure that is calculated and presented on the basis of methodologies other than in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) in this presentation. Core Earnings is an adjusted measure that helps BXMT evaluate its performance excluding the effects of certain transactions and GAAP adjustments that it believes are not necessarily indicative of its current loan origination portfolio and operations. Although according to its management agreement BXMT calculates the incentive and base management fees due to its Manager using Core Earnings before incentive fees expense, beginning with the third quarter of 2015, BXMT will report Core Earnings after incentive fees expense, as BXMT believes this is a more meaningful presentation of the economic performance of its class A common stock. Core Earnings is defined as GAAP net income (loss), including realized gains and losses not otherwise included in GAAP net income (loss), and excluding (i) net income (loss) attributable to the CT Legacy Portfolio, (ii) non-cash equity compensation expense, (iii) depreciation and amortization, (iv) unrealized gains (losses), and (v) certain non-cash items. Core Earnings may also be adjusted from time to time to exclude one-time events pursuant to changes in GAAP and certain other non-cash charges as determined by BXMT’s manager, subject to approval by a majority of its independent directors. Core 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 BXMT’s GAAP cash flows from operations, a measure of BXMT’s liquidity, or an indication of funds available for its cash needs. In addition, BXMT’s methodology for calculating Core Earnings may differ from the methodologies employed by other companies to calculate the same or similar supplemental performance measures, and accordingly, its reported Core Earnings may not be comparable to the Core Earnings reported by other companies. Weighted average gross return on investment (“Gross ROI”): Investment return based on each asset’s all-in yield, assuming no early repayments or defaults and the all-in cost of related asset-level secured debt, assuming maximum available leverage in place or in negotiation for each investment, notwithstanding the amount actually borrowed. Gross ROI excludes the impact of un-deployed capital and liquidity, the impact of the corporate-level revolving credit agreement and convertible notes, and management fees and other corporate-level expenses. Gross ROI is presented solely for informational purposes and is not representative of net income recognized in prior or future periods. Non-Consolidated Senior Interests: Senior interests in loans originated and syndicated to third parties. These non-recourse loan participations constitute additional financing capacity and are included in discussions of the loan portfolio.

Forward-Looking Statements This presentation may contain 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 Blackstone Mortgage Trust’s (“BXMT”) current views with respect to, among other things, BXMT’s operations and financial performance. You can identify these forward-looking statements by the use of words such as “outlook,” “indicator,” “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, 2015 and Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2016, as such factors may be updated from time to time in its periodic filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) 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 assumes no obligation to update or supplement forward‐looking statements that become untrue because of subsequent events or circumstances.
