4Q
2014
and

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
reports
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.
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.
