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 are

not included in GAAP net income, but rather as a component of Other Comprehensive Income in our consolidated financial statements.

(b)

Excludes the impact of changes in foreign currency rates and related hedges for non-USD investments.

(c)

Includes $689 million of Non-Consolidated Senior Interests and investment exposure to the $930 million 2018 Single Asset Securitization through an $89 million subordinate risk retention interest.

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 are not included in GAAP net income, but rather as a component of Other Comprehensive Income in our consolidated financial statements.

Definitions

Core

Earnings:

Blackstone

Mortgage

Trust,

Inc.

(“BXMT”)

discloses

Core

Earnings

in

this

presentation.

Core

Earnings

is

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”).

Core

Earnings

is

a

non-GAAP

measure,

which

we

define

as

GAAP

net

income

(loss),

including

realized

gains

and

losses

not

otherwise

included

in

GAAP

net

income

(loss),

and

excluding

(i)

non-cash

equity

compensation

expense,

(ii)

depreciation

and

amortization,

(iii)

unrealized

gains

(losses),

(iv)

net

income

(loss)

attributable

to

our

legacy

portfolio,

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

our

Manager,

subject

to

approval

by

a

majority

of

our

independent

directors.

During

the

three

months

ended

March

31,

2020,

we

recorded

a

$122.7

million

increase

in

current

expected

credit

loss

reserve,

which

has

been

excluded

from

Core

Earnings

consistent

with

other

unrealized

gains

(losses)

pursuant

to

our

existing

policy

for

reporting

Core

Earnings

and

the

terms

of

the

management

agreement

between

our

Manager

and

us.

We

believe

that

Core

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.

Although,

according

to

the

management

agreement

between

our

Manager

and

us,

or

our

Management

Agreement,

we

calculate

the

incentive

and

base

management

fees

due

to

our

Manager

using

Core

Earnings

before

our

incentive

fee

expense,

we

report

Core

Earnings

after

incentive

fee

expense,

as

we

believe

this

is

a

more

meaningful

presentation

of

the

economic

performance

of

our

class

A

common

stock.

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

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

Core

Earnings

may

differ

from

the

methodologies

employed

by

other

companies

to

calculate

the

same

or

similar

supplemental

performance

measures,

and

accordingly,

our

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,

which

are

excluded

from

the

GAAP

balance

sheet,

constitute

additional

financing

capacity

and

are

included

in

discussions

of

the

loan

portfolio.
